[Main mission 25] Last Resort | Main missions Prototype 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Luring out commander Cantrell
In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [630, 451], specifically to the shiny circle on the ground near the building's entrance.
New objective: Go to Cantrell's base to learn more about project Firehawk
Your new target is location [729, 567]. You have to get to the next shiny circle on the rooftop of one of the buildings.
New objective: Destroy the fuel storage tanks to force Cantrell out of the base
Tanks can be found in locations [750, 595] and [730, 610]. Notice, that in order to complete the newly unlocked bonus objective, you have to destroy them with explosive weapons. So stay in disguise and get to the base. Locate a main building and look on its rooftop for sheds with rocket launchers (screen above) or grenade launchers.
Start using grenade or rocket launcher to destroy indicated tanks. I suggest hurrying with this task, because your first attack will trigger an alarm and among enemies you'll find two super soldiers. Keep shooting until all tanks are destroyed.
New objective: Kill all the Blackwatch forces to give Cantrell no option except escaping
The extermination of opponents should start with two super soldiers. I recommend the tactics best against such enemies, so block their attacks with a shield (RB button) and then counterattacks (B button). You should also fight with these enemies on rooftops, so other soldiers won't bother you.
At the end take care of standard Blackwatch soldiers, but if you want to fight them on the main base square, first destroy local gun towers using rocket or grenade launchers or large objects which can be thrown. As a reward for winning the fight you'll watch an interesting cut-scene with fleeing Cantrell.
Reaching the crash site
New objective: Go to the crash site to find Cantrell
Head to the crash site which is in location [627, 584]. Since the accident took place in the middle of large square, you should sprint better than glide there. Once you approach the helicopter, you'll receive the new mission objective.
Defending helicopter
New objective: Defend Cantrell's helicopter or you'll never learn about project Firehawk
Start attacking brawlers in the near area as fast as possible. During the entire battle, you have not only distracted monsters, so they do not attack the helicopter, but also eliminate them. Do not count on this that fight will end after the time limit, because the only way to win is to eliminate all mutants.
Later on the fight will be joined by at least one juggernaut and then you should focus on that beast every time it tries to damage the helicopter. As a reminder, the effective tactics against juggernauts is to jump over them and wait for an opportunity to perform powerful counterattacks (X, Y or B buttons).
You can of course increase your winning chances by performing special attacks. The Devastator is perfect option when you find yourself near group of mutants, but you have to watch out and not use it next to the helicopter, because you could damage it. Safer solution is Leader pack attack, especially if you can summon more than two brawlers.
Do not forget about consuming all defeated mutants, especially that you can barely charge your bio-mass bar in another way. Fight until all mutants indicated by the game are dead. After that you'll watch yet another cut-scene.
Defeating the evolved
New objective: Defend the evolved before she kidnaps Cantrell for Mercer
The main difficulty in a new fight is a fact, that your opponent has whip. So you have to be very careful because she can easily deal you damage in a long and average distance as well, and you won't be able to dodge these attacks every time. So you should try to hurt her in a melee fight.
I do not recommend using the Devastator attack during this duel, because your opponent is very fast and she can move away from dangerous zone with no problems. Far better solution is the Leader pack attack, because summoned brawlers can distract your opponent and stop her from using the whip regularly.
Consider also the fact that you have to watch for hostile brawlers too, but you do not have to many problems with them. You should consume those monsters, as well as other infected, because you do not have to stick to the central part of the square - the helicopter's energy bar is gone.
New objective: Consume the evolved to get her whipfist
Keep fighting until your opponent's energy bar is completely empty. Run towards her and consume her. As a reward for that action you'll unlock the ability of using Whipfist - the last main power, which can be learned by Heller.
Destroying enemy helicopters
New objective: Target the helicopter
New objective: Destroy the helicopter
The game will of course allow you to test newly unlocked Power. At first you'll use the whip ranged attack. So target the enemy helicopter (hold left trigger) and then use the whip (hold X button). The machine will be destroyed right away, but in the future you'll need 2-3 whip attacks to achieve a similar result.
New objective: Destroy the rescue helicopters
Before you deal with helicopters, take a closer look at newly unlocked bonus objective - you have to kill 20 standard infected using the whip. So run among mutants and start pressing (not holding) X button - you'll see how powerful the whip is! Completing this objective should take just a few seconds.
Now you can take care of two new helicopters. I recommend using the whip to destroy them, although it is not required and you can sabotage them as well, deflecting rockets with the shield or use rocket launcher. If you plan to keep testing the whip, always start with targeting the particular machine (left trigger) and then perform the strong attack hold X button). As previously mentioned, each helicopter will lose its energy bar after two or three attacks.
Grabbing commander Cantrell
New objective: Target commander Cantrell
New objective: Grab commander Cantrell
You'll receive new objective after destroying both helicopters and it is not only about grabbing Cantrell but also about testing the last whip feature - pulling people to you. So target Cantrell (hold left trigger) and "shoot" the whip at him (press B button).
New objective: Consume commander Cantrell to learn more about project Firehawk
After you pull commander to you, make sure to consume him (Y button). This mission will end soon (unless you have to lose the chase first), and the game will unlock two new main missions - Fly in the Ointment and Divine Intervention.
