Find Pavel in Venice | Chapter 15: Venice Metro: LL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Wait now, for the ferry to reach the docks, and start your exploration of this area. This location is very much like the other places inhabited by survivors that you have already visited. That is why, you already know that you should make numerous stops while exploring, to listen to what the denizens have to say.

Start your exploration. I strongly advise against stealing from the fishing boat moored to the left, because this will be perceived as a bad deed. You should b, however, on the lookout for the "public" crates, because running through them does not carry any punishment. After you reach the area with a larger number of civilians staying in it, have a look around. You can knock on several doors, help the beggars, or give several army-grade rounds to the musician, thanks to which he will start playing for you.

While exploring the docks, keep looking for a path to the right, which will take you to a staircase. Enter the office. Listen to the conversation with this character and pick the Artyom's diary note from the box to the left (the above screenshot).

Resume your walk and reach the bar. Depending on your preference, you can either continue ahead, or stay here for a little bit longer. In the latter case, it is a good idea to turn your attention to the possibility of ordering a few drinks at the counter. What is interesting, after you have had a third one, Artyom will black out and start a brawl. In this situation, you can either ignore the moaning bartender, or give him several army-grade rounds for restoring the bar to its previous state.

Having reached the next area, do not haste too much to go to the night club and turn left, first. In this area, there are two gun shops. The owner shown in screenshot 1 deals in ammo, throwing knives. Claymores, frag grenades and incendiary grenades, whereas the owner shown in screenshot 2 deals in weapon upgrades.

Another place that is worth seeing here is the shooting range (screenshot 1). Before you enter the competition, you need to put military-grade rounds on the scale pan (10 before the first round, 20 before the second round and 40 before the third round). Proceed then to the vantage point and start eliminating rats (5 in the first round, 10 in the second round and 15 in the third round) while trying not to exceed the allotted time (I recommend using a rifle or a machine gun with a scope. After each round, return for the reward ( which is twice as much as you bet).

An additional reward for completing all three rounds in the shooting range is a teddy bear. Explore the area for a little boy, accompanied by his mother, who is currently complaining about having lost his favorite toy. Give the teddy bear to the boy, which will unlock an achievement.

Return into the vicinities of the night club and take the stairs. After you have entered the club's main area, you can stop for a moment to give military-grade rounds to the dancer and take your seat in an armchair to relax in a nice atmosphere.

Go to the backroom now and, after you watch to a short cutscene, climb down the stairs. First of all, turn your attention to the Artyom's diary page on the aquarium. Only then, approach the door to the left, which will result in another cutscene being started.

After you regain control over Artyom, you can request a private dance, or ignore the dancer completely and follow the characters that have just had a conversation in the room at the back of the club. Exit the club and turn right towards the market. In the end, you need to reach the stairs shown in the above screenshot, which has been blocked by two goons. Examine the crate to the left of the stairs and open the door at the end of the corridor.

You need to watch out from now on, as Artyom is not authorized to access this part of Venice. As a result, you will be attacked by the nearby guards on sight. Remain close to the starting point and look around for the switchbox shown in the above screenshot. Cutting off the power in this section will make it much easier for you to explore the area. While you are at it, you can also blow out the nearby oil lamp.

Watch out for two guards coming your way. One of them will probably turn towards the switchbox, and the other to the door that you took to get here. Try to eliminate both of them. There is also a sole guardian standing at the two oil lamps - get him from behind and either knock him out or kill him.

As you explore this area, you will be regularly running into further guards, which usually come in pairs. Do not destroy the oil lamps in this area, because you may alarm someone to your presence. Instead, wait for the enemies to go their way and walk around them, or eliminate them (kill or knock down).

One of the enemy groups will not be that willing to go away from the blazing barrel, so walk around the guards and, at the same time, put out the oil lamp as you pass. Continue on your path and walk around the group at the furnace to the right. Search for any opportunities to strike at the guards patrolling some dimly-lit areas.

Your current destination is the well-lit passage shown in the above picture. After you eliminate the guard here, make sure that you have collected all of the valuable items, because you won't be able to return here.

After you watch to the cutscene featuring Pavel, whom you have found, Walk through the passage. Put on the jumpsuit and take the ladder to the surface to reach the swamps, which will end chapter fifteen.
