La Cite
Once you enter the area, watch out for a Dextral Prototype nearby which may attack you. Turn leftand go past the burned building. There are 2 opponents of a new type (Tiger Grenadiers) waiting for you there.

Enter Les Halles market square. This is a sizable location filed with opponents. You'll encounter, among others, Prototypes, Lancers/Musketeers, Assault Acolytes, and Tiger Grenadiers. Moreover, there is a Stalker on the right side of the square. Fortunately, you'll have some time to recuperate between battles. Best to face the opponents one by one.
There is a single Lancer that you need to watch out for. You can find him standing on a stall. To get access to it, climb the stands. Right at the entrance to the square, climb the cart, and then the roof and trigger the enemy.
Head to the other end of the square - there is a scaffolding on the left behind the stands. Climb it and then get to the roofs. Follow them until you reach the wooden platform. Jump on it and go down the other side again to the rooftops. Follow the path laid by the rooftops. At the end, go left to access the next part of the location.
Follow the path further. You will reach a small square with a well. It is guarded by a Phoenix and 2 standard Prototypes. On the right side of the square (looking from the alley where you entered from) is a gate that will unlock a useful shortcut for you.
