[Main mission 5] Brain Drain | Main missions Prototype 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Getting inside the Blackwatch base

This mission becomes available only after completing the side Blacknet mission titled Operation: Orion's Belt. In order to begin this mission you have to get to location [363, 1122], specifically to a shiny circle on a building's rooftop.

New objective: Enter the Blackwatch base

Check out the brief information on enemy alert indicator and then move to the guard standing nearby and consume him (button B and button Y).

You can now head towards the main entrance to the base located in location [399, 1127]. Make sure that you are disguised as a previously killed Blackwatch soldier and move forwards.

New objective: Consume the Blackwatch trooper to enter the base and confront Rooks

Try to approach the guard patrolling local square, learning how Viral Detectors work. Generally you must remember not to stay too long near detectors, because alert bar will be filled quickly, thus exposing Heller. I suggest placing your character in a corner indicated on above screen. Wait for the guard and then consume him (button B and button Y).

New objective: Infiltrate Rooks's briefing to kill Colonel Rooks

This is very easy task. Head to the hand scanner in location [403, 1118], remembering about staying away from the viral detector. Interact with the scanner (button B), which will result in a longer cut-scene.

Chasing scientists

New objective: Chase and consume the scientists

Prepare, because chase after four scientists will start right after cut-scene ends. First of them should be located nearby (screen above) and if you want to get some bonus experience points, you'll have to perform Pounce Grab attack, so bounce from the ground )hold A button) and then during in the air decide to reach the scientist and grab him (press B button). Do not worry if you won't succeed in a first try, because you can do it three more times.

Head to the base exit (screen above), ignoring Blackwatch soldiers and focusing only on getting scientists. I suggest holding right trigger all the time and perform jumps when needed.

Your task is to chase, grab and consume other three scientists. This should not be a big problem, but try to fulfill a bonus objective connected with Pounce Grab attack before you eliminate the last, fourth scientist.

Hunting Dr. Shaffeld

New objective: Exit the alert

New objective: Hunt and consume Dr. Shaffeld

Losing the pursuit shouldn't be a big problem, but remember about regenerating your health by consuming one or more persons. Hunting Shaffeld is nothing special and it is the same as previous hunts, so you have to use your sonar from time to time (press left analog stick), observing from high viewpoints where these impulses come from. Your target is location [370, 1024], in the north-western part of yellow zone.

New objective: Destroy the APC

I strongly advise to be interested in bonus objective of this mission, which is destroying the APC with rocket launcher. Watch out for local soldiers, specifically those standing on the left. You can attack one of the soldiers and pick up the launcher from his corpse or wait for the opportune moment and consume the opponent with the launcher. The second option is safer but requires using the sonar. Also remember that you can't wait too long with this objective, because it will fail when the APC reaches the destination.

After obtaining the launcher, start chasing the APC and if you haven't alerted guards yet, stay in your disguise. Otherwise do not stay on the main road, but jump over rooftops of adjacent building. Aim at the APC and shoot it four times, which should be enough to destroy the vehicle.

New objective: Consume Dr. Shaffeld

Ignore enemies in the area and run as fast as possible to Dr. Shaffeld, not allowing him to escape from this place. Grab the scientist (button B) and consume him (button Y).

New objective: Exit the alert

As soon as you regain control over Heller, start fleeing, trying to disappear from your opponents' sight and finish this level. The game will automatically present you an option of starting next main mission - Project Long Shadow.
