Quests

Beneath the Brotherhood

Main quest.

Objective: Find Jessica Watts.

Depending on whether you chose a front entrance in the previous location, or the hidden door, you'll start in different starting points. The only difference is couple of rooms and additional fight at the main entrance.

If you got down by the elevator, you'll end up in the main lobby. Go through the door on the other side. If you entered aggressively the previous location, you'll be now attacked by 3 Brotherhood Guards right after exiting the elevator. Otherwise, once you get to the second room, go to one of Brotherhood Guard [5] and start conversation. I doesn't matter which dialog option you choose, because each one ends with the fight. Deal with 2 Brotherhood Guards and move forwards. Before entering the next hall notice two rooms located in the right. In the first one [4] you can find Advanced Medkit and in the second one - 2 Cavalier Frag Grenade.

In case of the back door you'll start in the secret elevator [2]. Keep moving forwards until you get to a small office. Click the desk [3] and you'll receive Record of Payments. Now go to the next room.

Once you get to main hall, you'll be attacked right away by 2 Brotherhood Followers. Kill them and after that pick up UB Holding Cell Key [7] left by one of opponents. Move to the cell [9] on the right and open it using they key.

Reward: 6 KP.

Objective: 1. Defend Marie-Louise. 2. Use Marie-Louise to Hack the Door to Escape.

Once you end the conversation, the real fun begins. You have two targets: protect Marie-Louise against attacks and hack into Matrix while controlling her and open the exit door.

As you probably noticed, there are two new enemies on the battlefield - True Form Worker and True Form Venom. In addition there are 2 Brotherhood Followers with katanas. The last ones are not too tough, so it is best to deal with them in the first round and then fully focus on two insects. True Form Worker attacks in the close range so it would be good to slow him down with your skills or spells and then eliminate it from a distance. True Form Venom is more annoying. It shoots acid which deals normal damage and damage each round. Hide behind covers and take him from a distance.

Unfortunately there is one additional problem. When you get rid one of insects, it will be "resurrected" as a spirit and continue to fight. In such form it is invulnerable. Any kind of damage can hurt them. After the next turn they are back to their physical form. How can you get rid of them? You can't. At least not now. You have to survive until you manage to open the door with help from Marie-Louise. Use the buffing spells like Armor III and try to slow insects down or decrease their AP. If you have Decker in your team, you could send him to the Matrix to help. Here he is no good anyway.

Once you enter Matrix, you'll be welcomed by 2 White IC and White Shield IC. Get rid of them and go through the portal. You'll find yourself in the room with a core controlling the door. Unfortunately it is protected by 2 White Sparky IC and 2 White IC. It could be quite a challenge, especially if you have only Marie-Louise there. Summon Attack ESP to help you in fight and hide behind the cover. Use programs Killer Lvl 2 and Blaster Lvl 2. Remember to heal Marie-Louise with program Medic Lvl 2.

Once you defeat the defense system, activate the core Exit Door Controls. After that Baron Samedi will appear in the system. Leave the system after the conversation and move your team through the exit door located in the left corner of the room.

You'll find yourself outside. Listen to quite interesting conversation with Baron Samedi and then leave the location going through the fence located on the right.

Reward: 6 KP.

Find Shane

Side quest.

Objective: Find Out What Happened to Shane for Cherry Bomb.

The only thing which has to be done in this quest is to find body of Shane. If you've reached the location by the main entrance, you'll find it in the dormitory [1], left from the entrance. If you got here by a secret passage, it will be lying in the corridor leading to the office. Click the marking and you'll complete the first part of the quest.

Reward: 2 KP.
