Find a way to get upstairs | Chapter 5: Separation Metro: LL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Make sure that your flashlight is off and hide behind the obstacle where Pavel was standing previously. Wait until two guards appear. You can act here in two ways - get past them or attack them. If you choose the second option, then wait until guards move towards wagon and get behind each of them to kill him or just knock him out.

Regardless whether you eliminate or pass by guards mentioned above, you have to choose now newly unlocked side passage (screen above). Destroy flashing lamp on the right wall and carefully approach a new area. Wait until upper metal construction with a single guard moves away from this place.

There is a new area with opponents in front of you and, like in third chapter, it would be good to carry on stealth actions, eliminating enemies or passing them by without triggering an alarm. The main part of this location can be reached in two ways. The first option is to go to the left. You would have to destroy a lamp on the wall visible in a distance (silenced gun) and then climb up objects shown on the above screen, so you could jump over the fence.

The second variant is to go to the right. In that case you would have to deal with a single guard, which has to be killed or knocked out. Watch out also for an oil lamp and a fire place - neutralize these sources of light (you would have to get close to the fireplace but the lamp could be destroyed from a distance).

Both paths described above allow you to get close to the building occupied by enemy forces. I recommend starting with elimination of a single guard, who regularly comes close to the left fence. But watch out not to being seen by the guard patrolling upper balconies.

Carefully approach the side entrance to the previously mentioned main building (screen above). Unscrew the nearby light bulb instead of destroying it with a gun, because you could alarm some local enemies.

Wait until opponents on the ground floor moves aside so there will be only one of them in the main room. Depending on your preferences you can neutralize him (get him from behind) or pass him by. If you choose the first option, do not forget to unscrew the light bulb at the ceiling, so the body won't be noticed by other enemies.

Again you'll have to choose a path. I strongly recommend using the stairs leading to the upper floor. After getting to the destination stay focused because there are two guards in the area. Start with eliminating the one patrolling outer balconies.

After securing the balconies go back to the lit room on the floor and carefully get behind the second guard. You can now safely explore this room, finding hidden Artyom's diary page at the place shown on the above screen.

Return to the ground floor now, placing yourself at the passage shown on the screen. Notice two nearby guards - one of them stands still, while the other one walks between two locations. As usually, you can eliminate them (first attack the guard patrolling the area) or get past them.

Regardless whether you've eliminate the above mentioned guards or not, go to the left building exit. There is one more enemy on the right, but do not worry - he is sleeping. Thus you can easily get past him, although the game allows you to get him from behind and kill him or knock him out.

In order to leave that location you have to use the stairs shown on the screen (you might destroy the nearby oil lamp first). But before you get there, make sure that you carefully explored the area. First of all look around for new and/or upgraded weapons (a revolver with a sight and a silencer for example). In addition there are three crates with valuable supplies (ammo, medkits, military-grade rounds etc.).

Climb up the stairs to the very top, reaching a new door. Open it and approach the enemy soldier, who will surrender seeing you. Depending on your preferences you can ignore him, knock him out or kill him. Be sure to explore the room, where you met the guard, because there is a second hidden Artyom's diary page to be found here (screen above).

Use the only available passage. After few moments you'll get to the new narrow tunnel. Enter it to end this chapter.
