Important areas on the map
3 - Soldier � Village where you can find the former Mbele soldier. You can kill this person or you can stun the soldier and fulton him out (this way you'll also complete a side mission objective).
Additional areas on the map
4 - Snipers 1 � There are two snipers in this area and extracting them is a part of a hidden mission objective. You should neutralize them even if you're not interested in the optional objective, because otherwise they can make it more challenging for you to reach the exfiltration zone (8 on the map) at the end of the mission.
5 - Snipers 2 � There are three snipers in this area and extracting them is a part of a hidden mission objective.
Important areas on the map
6 - Mine � Entrance to the caves in the camp where the prisoners (children) are being held. It's guarded by a few enemies - you can neutralize them or distract them so that they'll move away from the entrance.
7 - Escape route � Path which you must take after you've rescued the children from the mine (6 on the map). You'll be heading towards the exfiltration zone (8 on the map). You'll have to neutralize several groups of soldiers along the way and you also must watch out for the southern snipers (4 on the map).
8 - Exfiltration � Exfiltration zone which you must reach with all of the children saved from the mine (6 on the map). All children must get on board of the helicopter. At the same time you must watch out for an enemy gunship and for the southern snipers (4 on the map).
The above map represents the mission area available to you during Blood Runs Deep. After beginning the mission, you should go to Bampeve Plantation (number 3 on the map) and eliminate the soldier. Only after doing this, head to Kungenga Mine (no. 6), in which the children are held. You have to escort the using the southern road (no. 7) to the exfiltration point (number 8 on the map). When completing the mission, it would be good to deal with the optional objective connected with the snipers (numbers 4 and 5 on the map). Eliminating the sniper group in the south will make the exfiltration easier.
