01 - A Simple Plan | Syndicate Sequence 2 Walkthrough AC: Syndicate Guide
Last update: 24 February 2020
After the mission starts, use the whisper ability - the enemy in front of you will walk towards you, allowing you to quickly kill him from behind an obstacle. Walk not far further and use aiming to target enemy head - once it is done, throw the knife. The third enemy can be eliminated with another thrown knife or by quickly running towards him and attacking.
Jump on the wagon and move in the direction of the locomotive. You will find two pairs of opponents on your way, in both cases you can eliminate them quietly. Once you reach the destination, detach the wagons from the locomotive.
Once you reach the restricted area, wait a while until the group of opponents bypasses you. You will get to the view point marked by the game undetected if you will bypass the enemies from the left (you can mark them with eagle vision) - it can be done easily by jumping on the coal wagons and then going along the wooden fence. Use the elevator to jump to the very top, where you will watch a cutscene. While at the top, don't forget about using the eagle vision. Once you're done, jump to the haystack. Wait till the nearby guards end their conversation, whistle and kill the closest one.
Then go towards the laboratory. If you want to complete the side objective, pick the road on the left side, where you will find two enemies talking under a platform with barrels. Throw knives at it and it will fall on their heads. Another one can be found slightly from the right side of this place, under the building to which many entrances shown on the map lead.
Now, enter the marked building through one of the possible passages. In one of the rooms at the end you will find a chest. Inside, among other items, you will find smoke bombs (watch out for two guards on your way). Equipped with new gadget, go upstarts where a guard is interrogated. While behind the enemies, use the bomb to stun them temporarily and quickly kill the target.
Once the conversation is over, your task will be to find the key. The closest way to get to the destination area is via the roofs - go to the glass roof from the place of conversation with guard and then jump to the next roofs, while ignoring the enemies below.
Use the eagle vision in the warehouse in order to find the gentleman with the key who is located at the very bottom. Your task is to steal the key. You will get close to it if you will go down under the barrier (the place is shown on the screen, by going down you will bypass the chest with the smoke bomb). Use the time when the guard that gives orders will be turned in opposite direction and perform the stealing operation (you can also kill the key bearer and search his body). Once you get the key, go towards the laboratory (run to the very bottom while sticking to the left side - on the way you will bypass a single opponent and a chest).
Immediately after reaching the exit look to the right side where you will notice hanging barrels. You can wait here for a while and throw them with a knife when the nearby opponent will stand just under them. Then get out to the building on the left side. Go along it (jump between the pointing elements, while bypassing two talking enemies below you) until you get to the place shown on the screen. Here you can throw the barrels on the heads of the two enemies fighting below - this should be enough (if you haven't used this method previously) to complete the side objective in this mission. From here you can also use the roof to get to the other side and enter the large warehouse.
Inside you will notice few enemies walking around by themselves - you can easily eliminate each of them from behind. Being detected is not related to any negative effects, you will simply have to face the opponent and maybe few of his friends coming to the rescue. Go to the end of the room, bypassing a chest on your way - you can collect a smoke bomb from it. The tool will be useful at the end, allowing you to easily kill the single opponent standing in front of the door leading to the laboratory. Walk inside and ride down the elevator, while at the same time buying the Double assassination ability.
Use the ability you bought immediately after riding down - sneak up on the enemies and perform regular attack, Evie will automatically kill both men. You will find another opponent behind the corner, on the right side. Slightly above you will face two more enemies turned in the opposite direction. After eliminating them, keep going ahead, while jumping between the pipes. You will reach the place where a cutscene will play and your objective will be updated.
Your target can be found in the next room. Get to the end of the corridor where on the other side you will find two opponents and another one walking below. You can quickly jump to the other side by using the lamp or perform an aerial kill (watch out, as after turning the guard can see you).
After eliminating these opponents, the remaining road will safely guide you to the ladder (don't walk downstairs). From there you can jump to the beam that is above Brewster. Performing an assassination from there is a piece of cake (screen).
After a successful assassination it's time to escape. This part is not hard - first quickly run towards the destination points in order to avoid explosion. When in the rubble, calmly go forward and finally climb to the surface. This will end the mission.
Challenges
Kill 5 enemies with hanging barrels - you will find hanging barrels in few places. Use the knife to throw them down and kill the enemies standing below.
Air assassinate Brewster - in the room with Brewster, sneak up on the beams above the researcher. From there you can perform the execution by jumping below.
