[Main mission 20] Alpha Wolf | Main missions Prototype 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Getting to the research facility
In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [726, 1516], and specifically to the shiny circle on the ground near the junction.
New objective: Go to Archer's research facility
The research facility can be found in location [672, 1640]. Once you get there, approach to the shiny circle located on the building's rooftop. This will start a new cut-scene.
New objective: Consume the scientist to enter Archer's research facility
Before you go to the facility run by Dr. Archer, make sure that you've changed your shape and are masked as a scientist or a soldier. Approach the person indicated by the game (approximate location is [690, 1670]). Follow the scientist, watching out for viral detectors and waiting for a moment when the scientist is not observed by anyone (help yourself with the sonar). Only then grab him and consume him.
New objective: Use the hand scanner to enter Archer's research facility
The hand scanner can be found in location [682, 1685] and you can use it (B button) with no consequences.
Destroying chemical storage tanks
New objective: Destroy the chemical storage tanks
There are four tanks to be destroyed, but before you do this I suggest completing the new bonus objective. Start exploring the large room and use the sonar there (pressing left analog) to find persons, which are not observed by anyone (white halo instead of the red one). Grab such persons (B button) and use the bio-bombs on them (X button).
After "sending" a bio-bomb, just walk away and wait for the explosion (screen above). It is worth noting that such actions do not trigger an alarm. So if you like that kind of attacks you can continue using it after completing the bonus objective (stealth "sending" two bio-bombs).
I recommend destroying tanks after eliminating most soldiers stationing in this room (the best option is to kill them all first). The most basic method is to destroy tanks with standard melee attacks (screen above). It is worth noting that you do have to stay masked as a scientist or a soldier, because Heller has no resistance against poisonous fumes from destroyed tanks.
I personally suggest destroying tanks with explosive barrels and other environment objects. On the other side I do not recommend using the rocket launcher, because it will be more useful later. Eventually you have to destroy all four tanks, resulting in displaying a cut-scene with Dr. Archer.
Defeating Dr. Archer and her brawlers
New objective: Defeat dr. Archer
During the fight with Dr. Archer you should rely on slow attacks, inflicting serious damage. My personal favorite is hammerfist, but tendrils should do good as well.
On the other hand, I do not recommend using blades or claws, because Dr. Archer is very agile in direct fight and even with many dodges you would probably be seriously injured. An additional difficulty is inability to regenerate, but this plays significant role only if you haven't unlocked mutations improving health regeneration process and making your energy bar longer.
New objective: Kill dr. Archer's Brawler pack
Dr. Archer should summon two brawlers for help after she loses about 1/3 of her energy power. I recommend hammerfists to attack mutants, but due the fact that you're fighting with two monsters, the best solution is charged air attack (hold X button). As you probably remember brawlers are less resistant to attempts to jump over them, so you can fight them in a short distance, performing quick attacks, with blades for example.
Try to consume every defeated brawler, thus restoring part of your energy and charging the bio-mass bar. The same effect can be also achieved by grabbing scientists, who appear in the room, but you have to do it before they get murdered by brawlers or powerful area attacks.
New objective: Defeat dr. Archer
Defeating brawlers will result in Dr. Archer rejoining the fight. The general scheme of actions remains the same in this case to try to keep Dr. Archer on a distance, relying mainly on powerful attacks. Watch out also for objects thrown by her, but fortunately there should be no problems with that.
New objective: Kill dr. Archer's Brawler pack
Dr. Archer will flee after losing about 2/3 of her health bar and this time she will summon four brawlers to attacks you. So it is very important to use powerful area attacks (you might have already the Devastator attack charged) and I still recommend using hammerfists. Do not get into a corner and consume every defeated brawler when possible.
New objective: Defeat dr. Archer
Start attacking Dr. Archer again, watching out all the time and trying to dodge her powerful attacks. Fight until her energy bar is almost empty. Heller will automatically deal with Archer and gain the second special attack - Pack Leader.
Summoning brawlers
New objective: Summon your Brawler Pack
At the end of this mission you'll shortly test the newly unlocked special attack. To summon brawler pack you have to press X and A buttons at the same time. For the future, keep in mind, that by analogy to the devastator attack, this action will consume bio-mass. But you do not have to wait until the entire bio-mass bar is charged, because even its part can be used to summon brawlers (fewer amount).
New objective: Destroy the helicopter
Target the helicopter by holding left trigger and then press right analog to order your brawlers to attack the machine. Beasts will destroy the helicopter with no problems.
New objective: Dismiss the Brawler Pack
The last feature of the newly unlocked ability is ordering brawlers to leave the area. Hold left trigger and press X and A buttons at the same time. In the future it is best to dismiss brawlers right after completing the mission and before moving to next location.
Leaving the research facility
New objective: Leave the base to call father Guerra
It would be best to leave the base in disguise, unless you have nothing against losing the chase or testing newly obtained special attack on other enemies. After conversation with Guerra the game will unlock a new main mission titled Fall from Grace.
