Chapter XIII - Adams - p. 1 Spec Ops: TL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Find Adams

After watching a rather unusual introduction to this chapter, move forwards. Notice also, that initially you have only Desert Eagle with limited ammo. There are two paths leading to the place where Adams defends himself - a main (screen 1) and a side one (screen 2).

Regardless which path you choose, start with killing two closest enemies. Jump down and run to the right body, because you should find there SCAR-H gun, which has very useful grenade launcher. Pick it up and use it to eliminate any soldiers who rush towards you.

Your actions should coincide with Adams getting critical damage, so you have to hurry up to save him. I suggest going to the right, keeping safe distance from other enemies attacking your ally. Carefully approach Adams and press SPACEBAR to heal him.

Hold Them Off

Right after healing Adams look around the area and find ammo and grenade crates. Search also for any weapon which can replace your pistol (I recommend 417 rifle). Start attacking enemies which appear in a distance, remembering about using grenade launcher and standard grenades to eliminate larger groups of enemies.

During the battle here you have to watch out, because enemies will probably try to attack you from a left flank. It is also best to kill them before they can get any closer, but if you fail, you can stand at the left building (screen 1) or retreat to one of the more distant covers (screen 2). In the latter case you do not have to worry about Adams because your enemies will focus their attention on Walker.

In the final phase of the battle watch out for new soldiers, who will probably appear from the left side and for a single elite soldier. As you probably remember, you should aim at his head and help yourself with grenades. After the fight listen to a short conversation and do not forget to examine enemies' bodies to get better weapons and ammo.

Follow Lugo's Signal

Head to the large plane wreckage indicated by the game. Jump down and move forwards. After passing by the yellow tent, explore the area to your left, finding new Intel Item - Radioman Tape - Street Artist. You can now continue your march.

After reaching new area, use sprint option and take cover behind a small wall, where you'll find grenade crate (screen above). Be careful because yacht wreckage visible in a distance is occupied by enemy sniper.

Initially take care of closest enemies, watching out for a single opponent, who can try to surprise you from the left side (screen above). Eliminate also enemies who will appear on the right. If you do not want to kill them personally, you can ask Adams for help.

Only after preliminary clearing the area, try to eliminate previously mentioned sniper on the yacht (screen above). Since you probably do not yet have any weapon with sight, it is best to get close to him and kill him personally or mark him to be killed by Adams (he will throw a grenade).

The next task is to get inside the yacht and you can choose holes on the right or on the left side of the yacht. BE CAREFULL because there are additional enemies inside the yacht. After you spot them, you should retreat to one of covers and wait for them to come for you.

After securing the lower part of the yacht, choose stairs leading up - prepare to eliminate at least one additional opponent. After listening to conversation with Lugo, look around for a grenade crate and a sniper rifle M99. This rifle has very limited amount of ammo but its advantage is fact that one bullet almost always kills enemy.

Once you decide that you're ready, jump down and quickly run to the closest wall. You'll join a new battle, where you should use sniper rifle to eliminate static, distant targets. Use grenades on enemies attacking you. Look around also for any explosive objects which can be used for your advantage.

Currently explored location is quite vast, so you have to be careful. Especially watch out for opponents hiding inside the wreckage of the right ship. Depending on your preferences you can eliminate them from a distance (screen above), throw a grenade inside or use one of two entrances and kill them in a melee fight.

You can also choose a path to get to the actual mission objective. I strongly recommend upper passage, from where you can easily see enemies. I'm talking about sniper on the left yacht (screen above) among others. You can act here the same way as previously - mark him to be killed or kill him personally of you have any sniper rifle.

Continue marching among wrecks of ships, looking for supply crates and not letting anyone to attack you by surprise. The last group of enemies occupies the area shown on the above screen. It is best to use the sniper rifle first and then run closer to them and shoot them with standard rifle and throw some grenades.

After the fight, head to the passage shown on the above screen, which leads to another part of the map. Jump to the large hole and move forwards, having a conversation with Adams along the way. Prepare, because after reaching the new location you'll get into pretty hard fights.
