Chapter IV - The Refugees - p. 1 Spec Ops: TL Guide

Locate the hostage

Follow the only available path. Noteworthy is that initially you won't encounter any enemies so you do not have to watch out in any way. But it is worth to look around, because along your way you can obtain Intel Item - Child's Doll. Only after collecting this secret, head towards the stairs leading to the lower floor of the building.

Approach the large hole in the ground and press SPACEBAR to jump inside. Prepare for more exploration of the rooms full of candles and bodies of executed soldiers. This scene will end after you reach the room, where agent Castavin is interrogating a hostage.

After watching a cut-scene you can act in two ways. First option is to shoot the mentally unstable soldier (screen 1). Another possibility is to not attack him (screen 2) which will result in getting known his personality and releasing him.

Regardless of the chosen variant, look around for the stun grenade crate. It is worth noting, that type of grenades can be changed with mouse roll (by default) and you should stick now to stun grenades. When you're done here, use any of interactive hooks and rappel down (SPACEBAR).

Locate members of 33rd

Once you get to the new area, get interested in Intel Item lying on the table - Castavin's Diary. It is worth noting that if you do not pick up the secret now, you'll be able to collect it after the battle described below.

Do not wait for the end of conversation with your team-mates, because the area is full of hostile soldiers. I suggest starting with throwing a flash grenade at the place shown on the above screen.

Right after the flash grenade explodes, run to the left and attack hostile soldiers gathered in the corridor. Of course use the fact that they are stunned and turned to direction of your helpers. After the battle wait until one of your subordinates unlock further passage. This is also a good moment to examine bodies of defeated enemies in search of ammo and better weapons (I recommend to use UMP 45 as a secondary weapon, because it is easy to obtain ammo for it).

Move towards the shutter visible in the distance and shoot two soldiers running after civilians. Stay at the cover and jump over the shutter only after elimination of all visible enemy units.

Turn right and start moving through the local market. Particularly watch out for enemies appearing on the left side, especially that some of them use grenades. Do not forget about looking around for grenade crates, so you can use them often.

There are several bigger paths leading to the market exit, but I suggest choosing the left one. You'll be able to effectively eliminate new opponents and you'll easily approach the rest of enemies, who are fighting from the beginning.

Make sure that you've eliminated all enemy soldiers and choose only possible passage to the next location, looking around for valuable supplies. Eventually you have to reach the closed door (screen above) and wait until the passage gets unlocked.
