COMPLETE MISSION WALKTHROUGH:
This is by far one of the longest and most difficult missions of the entire game. We'll start off with a short cut-scene (#1). You will have to listen to what Emile has to say. After that, you will regain a full control over Fisher's actions (#2). Exit the truck and take a look around. You're inside a large underground car park.
You should also receive some additional info from the NSA. Your first objective will be to record a conversation that's going to take place in this area. Sadly, you will have a lot of problems reaching it. Turn left and move up closer to the large wall. Keep moving forward. You will come across a small fence (#1). It's best to use your tools here. You could also try and avoid this obstacle, however this won't be necessary. Once you've reached the other side, turn right (#2). Make sure that you're using crates for cover. There are several guards here. You must avoid them at all costs.
Head on to the large truck. After that, you should be able to reach a smaller crate (#1). Stop here for a few seconds. You should also save your progress. One of the guards should arrive in this area very shortly. Wait for your enemies to turn around. This will allow you to reach a higher platform (#2). You should be just fine, however I wouldn't recommend staying in the open for too long. Alternatively you could try to use some of the bottles or the Ultrasonic Emitter to distract the guards.
Once you've reached the platform, make a few steps forward. You will have to find a small button (#1). Push it. This will allow you to call the elevator. Enter the elevator and use a small panel. You will have to reach one of the upper floors. Once you're there, exit the elevator. SAVE your game here. It's very important, because this whole area is swarming with enemy troops.
Make a few steps forward. As you've probably noticed, there are two guards in the next room (#1). You will have to see them by moving closer to the passageway. One of the guards will be coming this way. This means that you need to hide. Use a nearby locker (#2). Remember that you will only have a few seconds to do this. You can't be seen by the guard!
You will have to stay here for a few seconds. One of the workers will show up here very soon (#1). He will be standing on your left. You've got two choices. You can either try and avoid the worker or knock him out (#2). I'd strongly recommend that you neutralize this threat, so you wouldn't have to worry about him in the future.
Head to the next room. Thankfully, there aren't any other guards here, so you may proceed to the next section. You will come across a small passageway (#1). Make sure that you have saved your game here. There are a few enemy soldiers in the new room. It would be best to avoid being seen by them. Once you've entered the room, turn right and start running forward (#2). It's very important that you find a suitable cover. You can't stay in the open. Otherwise you would have been spotted.
Keep going straight. The soldiers are fighting with the rebels here, but you might as well ignore the explosions (#1) or gun fire. If you're lucky, you shouldn't lose any health here. Once you've reached the glass wall, find a destroyed spot and head on to a small balcony (#2). You will have to climb down. SAVE your game here. You won't encounter any other units here, however there's a lot of climbing ahead and it's very easy to make a mistake.
Start off by moving towards the right edge of the screen (#1). Like I've said before, you won't have to worry about hostile units. Once you've reached a corner, keep moving to your right. You should be able to get closer to a small pipe (#2). Use it to get to the upper level. Keep moving right. I'd strongly recommend that you make a stop here. Save your game once again.
You should be able to reach a much larger balcony. A single guard will appear above you (#1). DON'T kill him, because this action would probably alarm some of the nearby enemy troops. You will have to wait for him to proceed to the next section of the balcony. Jump over the balustrade (#2). Make sure that the guard is gone, so you're not spotted by anyone.
There should be an open window in front of you (#1). Perform a single jump. Thanks to that, you will end up inside a small room. Head on to a small door that should be located ahead. You'll end up in a corridor. Turn right and make a few steps forward. You will have to locate a larger (double) door (#2). Open the door and enter a new room. There are some enemy guards here, so you will have to be very careful.
The first thing to do here is to wait for the enemies to end their conversation. One of the soldiers will be standing in front of you (there's a table here). It would be wise to knock him out. Once this is done, proceed to the room that's located on your left. You must be quick about it, because otherwise you wouldn't be able to perform a surprise attack (#2). Make sure that the second soldiers has also been eliminated. Avoiding these guys would be extremely difficult. Thankfully, you won't have to hide the bodies.
Exit the room. You'll end up on a small balcony. Turn left and jump over the balustrade (#1). Keep going straight. You should be able to reach a large metal construction. Use the ladder (#2). You will have to reach the roof of this building. It would be wise to save your progress along the way, especially since you'll come across a large group of soldiers.
Once you're at the top, grab the ledge and start moving towards the right edge of the screen (#1). You will have to climb up here. Also, notice that one of the rebels has left this area. It would be wise to follow him. You could also check a small room that should be located on your left, however this won't be necessary. You will only find a couple of grenades here (#2).
Use the small ladder. The rebel should be firing at the army soldiers. It would be best if you had killed or knocked him out (#1). Notice that he's changing his positions from time to time, so will have to be very careful here. Additionally, he may decide to go back to the ladder. As a result, you would have to use the nearby objects for cover. There's also a second rebel here (#2). You could perform a surprise attack or try and avoid his routes.
Once the roof area has been secured, you will have to locate a small staircase (#1). Use the stairs and enter the new building. Turn right and make a few steps forward. You will find a metal box here. Open it (#2). After that, you will have to hack into the system. This will allow you to neutralize some of the nearby laser beams. Save your game here.
You will have to use a small horizontal pipe that should be located above you. Wait for the rope icon to appear on the screen (#1). Activate this action. As a result, you will be able to use the rope to reach the lower level. Thankfully, there aren't any enemy guards here, so you won't have to worry about keeping quiet. Once you've reached the new platform, save your current progress.
You will have to use a nearby ladder. Get down to the lowest level and start moving forward (#1). There's only one path leading to your destination, so you shouldn't get lost. You will have to crawl into a small tunnel, but that shouldn't be much of a problem. You will reach a vertical pipe. Use it to reach the top of this structure (#2).
Once you're at the top, you will have to grab the horizontal pole. Keep moving forward. Now you will have to climb down to a large construction (#1). Turn left and head on to a small hatch. You will have to participate in a hacking mini-game in order to be able to open it.
Once you've solved the mini-game, you will be able to open the hatch (#1). Climb down. You should be able to grab a new metal pipe (#2). You will find yourself inside a well protected room. The objective will be to reach the central part of this area. It's not going to be simple, so it would be best if you had saved your game.
Before we'll proceed with the next part of the mission, there are a few other things that you should know of. First of all, you WON'T have to be in a lot of hurry. The meeting will start once you're ready, so you may spend as much time here as you need. You will only have to avoid laser grids. There aren't any other security devices in this area. It would be best if you had spent a few seconds here, so you'll observe how all of this works. Thanks to that, you won't have any problems planning your next actions.
There are two different ways to reach your destination, but I'll assume that you'll be going to your left. You will have to stop near the first group of lasers. You will have to wait for this device to shut down (#1). Start moving towards the left side of the screen. If you're quick enough, you should be able to reach some of the next laser traps as well. After that, you'll end up standing on a small ledge (#2). It would be wise to wait here for the laser devices to start the cycle from the beginning.
This time you should be moving close to the glass wall. Thanks to that, you will be able to reach a second ledge (#1). Use a nearby pipe. This will allow you to reach a horizontal ledge. Keep going towards the left side of the screen (#2). You should be able to come across a corner part of this room very soon. Keep moving. The objective will be to reach a third pipe.
It's going to be a little tougher here, mostly because you will be moving towards laser grids (#1). As a result, you will have to spend some time observing them. You should be able to reach your destination without any other problems. Keep going straight. You will have to wait for the grapple icon to appear on the screen (#2). SAVE your game here! It's very important!!
Attach the rope. You will have to slide down to the glass table. Once you're close enough, a new icon should appear on the screen (#1). As a result, you will be able to plant a microphone. Now for the hard part. You will probably hear that someone's coming. The objective will be to go back up to the pipe, as soon as possible (#2). You will have to be quick about it. Furthermore, you won't be allowed to perform any other actions.
You will have to wait for about two minutes. The meeting is going to be quite short (#1), however you shouldn't even try moving. Once it is over, you will be given a new objective. You must go back to the start area (parking lot). Sadly, you will have to find a new path. Additionally, you will have to outrun Emile, so he doesn't get suspicious. WAIT for the terrorists to leave this room. Slide down (#2). You will have to touch the glass table.
Start RUNNING forward. Once you've reached a junction, turn left and move up closer to the destroyed part of the window (#1). A rope icon should appear on your screen. You will have to use it to get down to the lower level. Turn left and start moving forward (#2). There's a ventilation shaft near the plant. You will have to use it.
Exit the ventilation shaft. DON'T use the second one! Instead, climb down to a small bathroom (#1). There aren't any guards here, so you won't have to keep quiet. Exit the bathroom and start running towards the parking lot area (#2). If you're lucky, you should be able to outrun Emile. Otherwise you would start losing trust points for the JBA organization.
Listen to what Emile has to say (#1). You will receive a few orders from him. Your new mission objective will be to hunt down and kill a CIA agent. You will also have an opportunity to save his life instead, but we'll deal with this problem during the second part of the mission. There's only one more thing for you to do here. You must reach the extraction point area. Start running towards the exit (#2). The game will begin loading a new map in a short while.
