[Main mission 26] Fly in the Ointment | Main missions Prototype 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hunting Lincoln

In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [745, 353], specifically to the shiny circle on the ground near the parking lot.

New objective: Hunt and consume Lincoln to hijack his gunship and escort Ellis

As you probably remember, it is best to start the hunt with getting to the rooftop of one of the highest buildings in the area. After that send an impulse (press left analog), thus easily locating the person you're looking for (screen above).

Lincoln can be found in the military base in the eastern part of the red zone and his approximate location is [750, 215]. It would be good of course to get into the base disguised as a scientist or a soldier. It is also very important to watch out for many viral detectors.

Depending on your preferences, you can attack Lincoln or stay hidden and wait until he can't be seen by other people. In the second case you should use the sonar. Remember also that you can also consumer other soldiers stationing in the base. Regardless of your choice, you have to grab and consume Lincoln.

Escorting commander Ellis's helicopter

New objective: Enter the gunship to escort commander Ellis

Head now to location [752, 189]. Your target is a landing pad on one of the rooftops of the military base. Go to the helicopter indicated by the game and press B button to get inside.

New objective: Escort commander Ellis to the Project Firehawk meeting location

Ascend to the altitude similar to commander Ellis's helicopter (right trigger) and follow him. In further part of the mission you have to monitor two energy bars - your helicopter's bar and commander Ellis's helicopter's one. Do not let them get empty, because then you'll fail the mission.

Notice, that you have now opportunity to complete the bonus objective and it is very easy. When you see mutated birds in the distance, start attacking them. You can't let them approach your helicopter or commander Ellis's machine. As for the bonus mission objective, you have to kill at least two birds with the gun (LB button) and at least two birds with rockets (RB button).

Do not worry if you can't complete the bonus objective during the first encounter with birds, because you will meet them again later on. Each time perform same actions, thus trying to attacks birds from as far as possible.

Defending the base against infected

New objective: Go to the base and help defend it from the infected

After receiving this mission objective, ignore Ellis's helicopter and fly to the military base in location [513, 435]

New objective: Kill the infected to protect the base

You have to eliminate four hydras stationing around the base. I suggest stopping the helicopter in such places, that you can fight maximum two hydras at the same time (I t would be best to fight only one). It is very important to destroy the objects thrown by hydras and as you probably remember, you do it by pressing Y button in certain moments. Attack hydras until they are dead.

Defending commander Ellis's downed helicopter

New objective: Go to Ellis's downed helicopter to defend it until the APC arrives

Now head to location [547, 503]. You have to approach the downed helicopter, which will result in displaying a new cut-scene, informing about appearance of new mutated creatures.

Escorting commander Ellis's APC

New objective: Kill the infected to protect Ellis's downed helicopter

Start with descending your altitude (left trigger). First clear the area around the downed helicopter and then attack a new group of hydras. Same as previously, do not forget about destroying objects thrown by hydras (Y button) and do not worry too much about Ellis's helicopter's energy bar, because it will be regenerated once the commander gets into the APC (new cut-scene).

New objective: Escort commander Ellis to the Project Firehawk meeting location

As in the rest of this mission you have to protect the APC, you should lower your altitude, unless you have problems with maneuvering between buildings. Do not pay an interest in standard infected running over streets, because the real danger is bigger mutants. When you see the first group of monsters, try as fast as possible to eliminate hydra and then take care of other mutants.

Along your way to the base you'll have to fight few more battles, mainly with hydras. Plan your stops very carefully, so you won't have to fight all monsters at the same time. And do not forget about Y button which is used to destroy objects thrown at your machine.

The main battle will take place near the road heading to the military base (screen above). I definitely suggest lowering your altitude and first taking care of more mobile mutants attacking the APC. Only after eliminating them, take down hydras.

After the fight wait until the Ellis's APC enters the military base. It will result in displaying new cut-scene.

Consuming commanders

New objective: Land at the base to consume the Firehawk commanders

New objective: Exit the gunship

The landing pad is located in location [480, 887] and you have to lower your altitude to approach the shiny circle. After landing hold B button.

New objective: Consume the commanders to postpone Project Firehawk

An approximate location of commanders is in [490, 871]. Ignore fights in the base and approach them at once. As they are observing each other, and there are many enemies running around in the area, I would suggest to shapeshift into Heller and consume them instantly. You should also know that if you do not hurry with consuming commanders, one of them can die because of mutants attack and the mission will fail.

It is also worth noting, that if any of commanders will try to flee, you do not have to run after him, because as you probably remember, Heller's whip can pull opponents to you (press B button after targeting the opponent).

New objective: Exit the alert

Right after consuming all commanders, leave the base (it is best to jump over the water pool and not heading directly to the main exit). The mission will end soon and you'll unlock the next main mission titled Operation Firehawk.
