[Main mission 12] Natural Selection | Main missions Prototype 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Getting out from the ambush

In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [219, 1075], specifically to the shiny circle on Gentek building's rooftop.

New objective: Defeat the Blackwatch ambush

Once you regain control over Heller, quickly kill nearby soldiers with rocket launchers. It is quite important, because otherwise they might disturb you in further fights.

A good idea is to use rocket launchers left by defeated soldiers, to shoot down both helicopters which attack you (screen above), although if you prefer using Heller's powers, you can also attack the machines in a different way. Destroying helicopters will result in a short cut-scene being displayed.

Getting the commander

New objective: Destroy the APCs to flush out the commander

You have to destroy two APC, but you also have to watch out for other Blackwatch soldiers and Phase One soldiers. In my opinion the best solution is to jump onto one of the APCs (B button) to tear off its TOW launcher and use it (X button).

You can also attack APCs in different way, for example using tendrils' attacks (Y button). In addition, if your mass bar is entirely full, you can get close to APCs and perform the Devastator attack (screen above). Remember about regeneration and avoid a contact with super soldiers, the more that the game doesn't require to eliminate them.

New objective: Consume the commander to find Dr. Koenig's location

Keep fighting until you destroy both APCs. Quickly run to the commander marked by the game, not allowing him to escape from this place. Grab the commander and consume him (B button and Y button).

New objective: Exit the alert

Escape from the area may be more difficult than usual, especially if super soldiers are still alive. Help yourself with sprint and long jumps, waiting for the moment at which the game will allow you to shapeshift and thus to lose the chase.

Getting to location of Dr. Koenig

New objective: Go to base seven to find Dr. Koenig

Go to location [170, 1331]. You'll get the new objective once you get close to the target. It would be good to have a scientist's or soldier's disguise, so you won't trigger the alarm.

New objective: Destroy the fuel tanks to end the lockdown and access Dr. Koenig

You have to destroy three groups of fuel tanks and I suggest using the rocket launcher taken from one of the soldiers or TOW launcher torn off from one of the APCs parked near. It is also good to shoot from the rooftop of main facility building, so standard soldiers can't reach you. Destroy all tanks, getting anew rocket launcher or TOW launcher if needed.

New objective: Destroy Dr. Koenig's gunship

The best method to destroy Koenig's gunship is the skillful use of Heller's shields, activated with RB button. Hide behind the shield every time the helicopters shoots rockets at you, and with a bit of luck you will deflect them and hit Koenig's machine.

Deflecting rockets is of course not the only way to win the fight. Another interesting option is to kill a soldier standing on the rooftop and take his rocket launcher (screen above).

The last method suggested by me is an attack with tendrils each time you see a short circuit in the helicopter (screen above). Regardless of the chosen variant, try to avoid being shot by a helicopter's gun, hiding behind the shield. Keep fighting until you get down the helicopter.

Defeating Dr. Koenig

New objective: Defeat Dr. Koenig

Dr. Koenig is treated by the game as a boss, but defeating him is not difficult. The entire fight is very similar to fights against brawlers and that's because it is best to jump over Koenig and perform quick attacks with claws or tendrils immediately after landing behind him.

During the fight you should notice that Dr. Koenig "sticks" his blades into the ground from time to time, becoming helpless in this way. This typically occurs after his failed attack or jumping over him. You should take advantage on such situations by quickly running towards him and pressing the button indicated by the game (Y or X), so Heller can perform a strong attack.

In the next phase of fight, Koenig will start to flee from this area, but you'll have no additional difficulties because of that. Just go to new area and keep attacking him.

New objective: Consume Dr. Koenig

Fight until Dr. Koenig's health bar is almost empty. After receiving relevant information, go to the seriously wounded scientist and consume him. Now you can watch a cut-scene ending this level. The game will unlock a new mission - The Airbridge.
