Distract him using the nearby vending machines then turn left and head up the escalator to the second level.īe careful when you reach the top, there will be two gang members standing around near the top of the stairs. There are two entrances, and you’ll want to use the furthest entrance to avoid being seen by the gang member inside who is standing guard. To take the alternate route, when you’re about halfway to the van you’ll pass by the Kabayan foods restaurant on your left. Once you reach the left side of the mall, you can head straight down to the other end to find the van, or you can actually skip the next five objectives including a boss fight with Sasquatch!

After leaving the gym area, immediately turn to the left and hug the wall to avoid an enemy standing nearby. Head towards the exit while staying low and using the machines and crates as cover. Before he reaches it, use a quickhack on one of the vending machines at the back of the area to distract him then slip past while he is examining the machine. He will walk to the end of this area then start using the bench press. Wait for him to move before trying to go past him. Stay low and head left hugging the wall to avoid attracting the attention of the fighter in the ring who may look in your direction occasionally.Īlong the edge of this area, you’ll see another enemy watching the boxing match. Wait for the nearby enemy to move off before advancing, then blind the camera and move down the hallway in the same direction as the enemy went. Otherwise, you’re stuck going the long way around. If you have a Technical Ability or Body stat of 10, you can access a staircase that will take you to the upper level where there are far fewer enemies to avoid. This is your way up, but there is another ganger just on the other side of the wall so stay quiet. Hug the right wall, and stay low, moving around a shipping crate and into the dock.Ĭarefully move through the loading area, towards the stack of boxes next to a platform with safety stripes. When the coast is clear, you’ll see three more Animals talking in a group. When you reach another ramp leading up into the dock, stay low and wait for the two Animals on bikes to leave before proceeding. You shouldn’t have to hack any devices to distract enemies if you stay behind cover and move slowly. Once you reach the loading docks of the GIM, jump over the concrete barricade and down to the ground to the left of the ramp. Last but not least, you’ll have to listen to Placide bitch in your ear for the rest of the mission, so it’s very much not worth it. With the sheer number of enemies, and scarcity of places to dump bodies, any body you leave behind (whether dead or incapacitated) is a liability. Coupled with having the most direct routes through the mall closed to you, this can be devastating, particularly if you haven’t been following a combat focused build. The gangers are usually huge, heavily modified with cyberware, and plentiful. While this isn’t strictly necessary to complete the mission successfully, the ‘runner inside will start closing barricades to block your path and a literal ton of Animals will rain down hell upon you. The Voodoo Boys say that you should enter through the Garage in the back of the mall, and reiterate Placide’s demand that you infiltrate the GIM in total stealth. Meet with Placide’s peopleĪcross from the GIM you’ll meet with two of Placide’s Voodoo Boys who have been keeping an eye on the Animals’ comings and goings.

Don’t dawdle either, or Placide is likely to scold you for wasting his time. Leave Batty’s HotelĪs soon as you’re done talking with Placide at the start of the mission, follow the waypoint to the Grand Imperial Mall (or GIM as they call it in-game). I Walk the Line starts automatically when you finish the previous mission, M’Ap Tann Pèlen.
