Red Light

Objective: Visit your old safe house in the derelict movie theater. Find an alternative route into the building.

The intersection contains motion detector security lights. You can break them with throwable objects, like the bottle in the alley on the left side. Go to the end of the street and grab the shovel and another bottle. Turn right and go forward until you reach the cut scene showing the thugs. The shadow around the truck provides good cover from them. Wait for the thug to reach the shadow (or lure him there) and execute.

You can search the building on the right side, though a second thug may be patrolling inside. There’s another lure object in there as well as a syringe. After eliminating the thugs, grab the pliers left behind. You’ll need the object to open the alternate route. Go to the end of the road and use the pliers on the chain fence to open a new route.

The pliers are required to open the alternate route through this fence.

Cross the basketball court until a cut scene interrupts the action—more thugs emerge. You can eliminate in a variety of ways: use the swing out attack described in the tutorial or lure them out to the shadows near the manhole cover execution point. A bottle nearby can help you lure that guard close (or just rap the wall with your shovel). You have to be careful that the other guard, moving the opposite way, doesn’t spot you. Alternatively you could just wait until they pass, by hiding near the fence, and sneaking by and into the room they left behind.

There’s a third guard patrolling inside. Descend the stairs and take cover in the shadows near the stairs. Sneak up on this guard and eliminate him. Grab some first aid in a nearby room (containing the television) if you need to heal. Continue up the opposite staircase. Find a room with a few big boxes; climb onto the boxes and onto the balcony above. Go outside to reach the checkpoint.

Objective: Make your way through the porn shop.

Drop down off the balcony and take cover in the shadows. The cops seen in the cut scene are patrolling nearby. There’s a manhole cover here—perfect for that special execution. Depending on the cops’ movements you can sneak around the left side instead of engaging. There’s a bottle on the left side of the balcony can also help you lure them away so you can sneak by. When you’re finished, cross the street toward the Velvet Glove porn shop.

Although the area is brightly lit, the back door into the porn shop is the better entrance.

Searching the alleys and streets around the shop reveal some lure items and a glass shard. You can enter the shop through the front door or a back door. The front door means being spotted by hunters immediately, which entails a melee battle (or you can run and hide and wait for them to idle). Let’s check the back door.

There are shadows inside but lights can expose your location. Remain in the constant shadows. Look to the left and move behind the shelves. There’s a bottle here to use as a lure and shadows in a corner providing a good hiding spot to pounce on a hunter. Knocking the shelf with the shovel also works. If you haven’t alerted anyone, there’s a second hunter behind the counter. You can easily sneak up on him by sticking in the shadows.

Objective: Get upstairs.

Walk behind the counter (some first aid here) and enter the door. Start up the staircase. As you reach the second or third floor, a couple hunters appear behind you.

Objective: Find your old hideout.

They’re on to you. Sprint quickly outside and cross the balcony. Go over the wooden planks, which drop, and turn left. They’re now shooting at you! Go up the fire escape staircase and keep going until you can drop over a wall toward the movie theater hideout. The key to this section is to just keep moving. Don’t hestitate and get shot. Follow the path until the mission ends.
