Quests
The Penthouse Suite
Main quest.
Objective: 1. Keep Coyote Alive. 2. Keep Paco Alive. 3. Wipe out the Gang.
On this stage you couldn't do without the fight. But you can start it in three different places, depending on the previous actions.
If you got here with the elevator and without BTL file, you'll start at the front entrance [7]. Once you leave the elevator, Tranq will start the fight.
If you got here with the elevator and having BTL file, Tranq will approach you. You can show him the file and he will let you in. Go to the end of the corridor until you reach Hellhound cage [2]. If you have Zebra Meat with you (you could get it at the Pike Place Market), throw it to the creatures by choosing the first option. Open the first door and then the second one. The fight will begin. The advantage of this method is that you'll have Coyote to help you. On the other side you have to watch out for her - she must stay alive...
If you chose the rear entrance, you'll start at the other side of the floor. The fight will start only when one of enemies spots you.
Whenever you start, you have to get rid of all gang members. If you start at the main entrance, kill Tranq and move forwards. Jump into the kitchen on the left and eliminate Hacker. You can defend yourself here more easily. Eliminate enemies one by one, focusing on Stevie J and Thistle.
Starting in torture room with Coyote has one more advantage - Steve J will show up himself. Focus your attention only on him. It is not easy to eliminate him in the first round, but it is possible. Try only to deal damage or use mage spell - Weaken Armor I to decrease his resistance. With some luck you should get rid of him. If you can't manage to do this, he can start to withdraw to the main room. Do not follow him. Eliminate the guard in torture room and talk to Coyote - she will get her shotgun. Barricade yourself and eliminate all enemies showing up at the door.
If you start from the rear entrance, follow the corridor. A moment later you'll encounter the first enemy - eliminate him. It is possible that this won't alarm others. If they won't come in running to the room, you'll have to lure them in by yourself. Place your character in the passage to the main room. Once enemies spot you, jump behind the long barricade [1]. It is perfect place to defend yourself and eliminate enemies one by one.
Once you defeat all opponents, talk to Coyote. If she was fighting along your side, the conversation starts automatically. Otherwise you'll have to get to the torture room [3] first. Use the Zebra Meat trick described above. Eliminate the last enemy and start the conversation. There will be two options. The first one will allow you to leave the location immediately. If you choose the second one, you'll be able to stay here to complete the side quest and pick up some items.
Reward: 3 KP.
Stevie's Stash
Side quest.
Objective: Find Stevie's Stash.
You'll get this quest when you select the second option during the conversation with Coyote after the fight.
Start with picking up Stevie J's Pass Codes from his body if you haven't done this yet. Now go to the room opposite to the kitchen. When you open the door, Hellhound will attack you. It is quite tough opponent especially that it jumps directly to your face. It is best to use some powerful firearms against him. If you have a shotgun or a rifle with Burst Fire or Full Auto, it would be good to use that weapon. After the fight, get inside the room.
Approach the closet with the marking [6]. Click it and you'll get Rare Stones, required to complete the quest.
Reward: 1 KP.
