Hornets' Nest

Watch the scene with Maria. Now it's time to get into the palace. Go straight, then right and under the rising bridge.

Behind the corner you will find the Locust Jailer Document. Go straight all the way and open the door with a nice kick. You will see the queen's castle in the distance. Now you will have to find a spot from which Jack will call for reinforcements.

Another hard fight awaits you near the tower with a switch. Get rid of the Drones and Therons and after that get upstairs and use the switch. Some Flamers will appear. Remember that the easiest way to get rid of them is to shoot the containers on their backs.

After entering through the gate you will have to defeat some Grinders equipped with Gatling guns.

In the room in which wooden doors will start to close as soon as you enter there is a hidden item. So right after you enter, start running straight. Turn right and go through a gate, before it closes.

Right behind it lays the Human Finger Necklace. Turn the switch on the left and the gate will begin to rise. Kill the enemies using the nearby Troika.

You will find yourself near the palace door; it's a good spot for Jack to send info on your location. However you must eliminate all the enemies first.

After getting to the centre defend Jack while he transmits the data. Use the switch to raise covers from the ground. You will be attacked by normal Drones, Tickers and later by two Grinders. Look out for the gate, when it opens quickly eliminate the mortar crew. You'll have just a couple of seconds to do it.

Clear out the nearby terrain to ready it for the arrival of the Coalition. Eliminate every mortar crew first. You should find yourself a cover and fight with this weapon as well. However, when you hear Dom's warning about some incoming missiles, run as fast as you can to another cover.
