Approaching the fort | Mission 4 - Fort Rifugio Sniper Elite III Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
You can approach the fort, which is your main objective, using many different ways. Three main paths are located in the western part of the map (number 5). If you can, you should choose the western path, located north of the camp which you've just found. There are not many guards and what's more, you will have the opportunity to reach the second Sniper Nest.
In the area described, the second watch tower with a searchlight is located (number 2 on the map). In this case, it is advisable to climb the tower, eliminate the guard and sabotage the searchlight. After you've done that, explore also the nearby camp, as you will find a Collectible Card in it.
You don't have to take any of the main roads to reach the fort. In the eastern part of the map, near one of them, there is a side path (number 6 on the map). However, you have to be very careful here, there is a soldier who stops near the lookout point sometimes and can easily spot you.
If you plan to take the side path described above, it is also good to explore the rest of the eastern part of the map. East of the path, you will find the third Sniper Nest (blue spot number 3). Approach the tower from the west side, which will help you to stay unnoticed. There is a single enemy on top of the tower. North-east of the path, there is another War Diary (Survival Notes: Firemaking; green spot number 6).
Lastly, explore the slightly larger area located south of the fort's walls. You will find three enemies here, but with the right timing, you should be able to eliminate them one by one. Focus your attention on the document shown in the picture above. It is not counted as a secret. Reading it will tell you something about the planned visit of an Italian officer and a side quest will be activated.
The vehicle with the officer will soon appear on the road where the trucks are, heading from west to east. Head south and place some explosives anywhere on the main road (for example at number 8 on the map). A land mine would be best, but if you don't have it with you, you can use a dynamite (in this case you should take the shot from the west Sniper Nest). You will complete the side quest when the truck explodes, killing all the people in it.
