Walkthrough
13 steps across 5 objectives
- Follow Your Guards
Stay right behind your guards, Shin and Jang. You have no weapon.
- Follow Your Guards
When the attackers arrive, go prone in the gap next to Jang and stay hidden until Ko clears the room.
- Follow Your Guards
Follow Ko through the display room, moving between the cases.
Watch the detection meter: white, then yellow, then red. Freeze in cover when it starts filling.
- Follow Your Guards
Climb out the window after Ko and shimmy along the outer ledge. Stop before the last window until the enemy looking out moves away.
- Follow Your Guards
Wait outside the security room while it's cleared, take the earpiece next to Ko and accept his knife, then follow Shin to the library.
- Get Past the Library
Take down the guard on the left at the library entrance. After Shin goes down, slip along the left side as the patrols pass.
These enemies are heavily armored, so a gunfight is a losing fight.
- Get Past the Library
Go upstairs at the far end and enter code 5523 on the door.
- Get Past the Kitchen
Keep to the left past the patrols and grab the bottle off the table.
- Get Past the Kitchen
Throw the bottle into the left-hand corner, sneak past on the right into the lit room, and enter code 7632.
- Go Through the Gardens
Peek around the open door and wait for the patrol to pass before stepping into the gardens.
- Go Through the Gardens
Sneak or take down your way toward the gazebo, then swim past it and dive underwater to stay out of sight.
Staying underwater also keeps you clear of the sniper covering the garden.
- Go Through the Gardens
Get out of the water and go around behind the statue to find the bunker door.
- Get Inside the Bunker
Enter code 9103, climb down the ladder and follow the corridor to the double doors.
Achievements
On Hardened or higher, kill every enemy after Shin dies using stealth takedowns or throwing knives: 8 in the library (a second wave comes in halfway), 5 in the kitchen, 24 in the gardens, and 4 that spawn when you open the bunker door.
Finish the mission killing only the guard at the library entrance. Game8 suggests Recruit; stay crouched or prone in cover and use the kitchen bottle to move the guards.
Rewards for finishing
- Oh-Ji Operator
Veteran tips
- For Revenge, Game8 recommends Hardened rather than Veteran or Realism, since the trophy only needs Hardened and the higher settings make it much harder.
Story recapSpoilers
Story
One day before the invasion, assassins storm the palace of Ri Seung-ho, North Korea’s Supreme Leader. His guard Jang is killed almost at once, and Ko Jin-Hyuk gets him moving, guiding him over the radio with security cameras and door codes.
Shin is gunned down in a hallway, leaving Seung-ho to sneak alone through the library, kitchens and gardens to the bunker hidden under his father’s statue.
The bunker is a trap. Guards pin Seung-ho down, and the Archer walks in with his sister, Ri Ju-Young, who shoots her brother and takes power.
