Mission 1 (Bottom of the Eighth) | Main missions - Act I Watch Dogs Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Get across the Stadium
This chapter starts in the locker room. Hold down the aiming key/trigger and try to take a shot at Maurice. The next step is pressing the melee key/button. After Aiden knocks the man down, explore the locker room thoroughly (it is worth adding that it is a good idea to do the dame, in the case of all the locations that you visit in the game) to find, among others, the first components to craft gadgets with. After you have explored the locker room, locate the unconscious man's phone and hold down the hacking key/button to hack into it. Listen to the audio recording (Maurice Vega 01) and exit the locker room.
Approach the new marker and watch the cutscene of the meeting with Jordi Chin. You will learn that around, there appeared policemen and that your first task will be to walk around them. I recommend that you first take the right corridor. Just like earlier, it is a good idea to explore the area beforehand, thanks to which you will find a paper bag with cash in it. Hide behind the crates and wait for the first police officer to appear here. It would be a good idea to distract him and, to do that, you can hack into the Pitching Machine. you can take the policeman with a melee attack or let him be.
Return to the spot, where you have talked to Jordi and take the corridor on the left. Carefully, approach the policeman. Also here, it is worthwhile to use hacking to your aid. If you hack into the phone on the ground, this will distract the opponent. You can either do that, or ignore the policeman. Regardless of what you did, take the tunnel on the left, which will take you o the next location in the stadium.
Climb onto the container, hop over the balustrade and try opening the blue door. After you fail to open the door, locate the camera on the wall, on the left and hold down the hacking key/button to hack into it, and get the camera view. You need to locate the second camera shown in screenshot 1 and hold down the appropriate key to "jump over" to that one. Find the successive cameras and switch to them. Finally, turn your interest to the control panel, shown in screenshot 2, located on the balustrade. After you hold down the hacking key/button, you will activate it and open the blue door .
Enter the room and take cover, because there is a single policeman here. Follow the game's suggestion and distract the policeman by crafting and using the Lure. Collect the component from the crate (Electronical Parts), hold down the inventory key/button and confirm that you want to craft the lure. After you do that, aim the gadget at the nearby wall, marked by the game. Finally, you need to hack into the lure attached to the wall, thanks to which it will start producing sounds.
Take advantage of the fact that the policeman went to check out on the source of the strange sounds and either eliminate him, or sneak past. You can access the next location by taking the main stairs, or (if you are sneaking) the scaffolding on the left. Hide behind the counter here and activate the Profiler (tap the hacking key/button once). Start the process of scanning the people in the area, thanks to which you will learn a bit more about each. In some cases, there will appear an additional option to hack into the phone of the scanned person. It is a good idea to start hacking again, in such a situation, because thanks to this, you will be able to read the messages, obtain cash or obtain components.
After you hack into the phones of the people around the bar (it is not compulsory, but worth doing) start going slowly to the left, while remaining behind the cover. Locate the open door and press the key/button shown on the screen to dash towards it. Turn right here and consider using the ATM that you see along your path. You can withdraw here the cash that you have just stolen. Listen to the conversation with the hacker Badboy17 and approach the next hall, carefully.
Do not enter the room with the guards and hack into the camera that you can see behind the door. Switch from camera to camera in this room, until you locate the man with an access code. Hold down the hacking key/button to download that code. Pan the camera to the left, now, and hack into the router on the wall. After the game switches to the camera in the server room, breech the security of the firewall here (the hacking key/button).
Make your way out of the stadium
Hold down the inventory key/button and select Blackout, thanks to which you will cut off, temporarily, power supply to the stadium. Of course, use the covers along your path. If you want to, you can eliminate the guards here (you would have to attack them one-by-one), but it is going to be much safer if you leave them alone.
Reach the stairs and climb down. Go towards the door and remain on the right side of the location, to avoid being caught in the helicopter headlight. After you enter the bar, listen to the conversation with Jordie. It is optional to take the bar's offer so, go towards the building exit.
Reach the hideout
From now on, you need to avoid the police forces, who are looking for Aiden. Pay attention to the minimap readings, in the bottom-right corner of the screen and take cover whenever you notice the red icon of a police car. You need to go left now, to the stadium's exit (Northwards) and take the alley shown in the above screenshot (it is worthwhile to use sprint here). Enter the garage and get into the red sports sedan, left here by Jordie.
Note - if, at any moment of this part of the game, you get spotted, a regular pursuit will start. The hints concerned losing police cars and helicopters have been presented in the guide for the game.
Drive out of the garage and start avoiding police cars, as well as blocks, symbolized on the map by the blinking red and violet rectangles . Your task now is to get outside of the search area, marked with the grey circle. You can do that by, e.g. driving over railways or over one of the bridges to a neighboring district.
Note - if you get into a dead-end situation, try parking the car and pressing the key/button that stops the engine. Unless a police car approaches your car, within a short distance, you will be able to avoid starting the police pursuit.
Finally, you need to reach Aiden's current hideout, which is located at the Owl Motel, located in the Parker Square district. Park the car on the motel lot, climb up the stairs and, after you listen to the conversation with Badboy17, spend your first skill points on new skills (hints on usefulness of these can be found in the game guide)
Rewards for completing the mission: 100 experience points + 200 experience points for losing the police pursuit
