[Blacknet mission 7] Operation: Red Glacier | Blacknet missions Prototype 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Hunting Dr. Ben Langham

New objective: Go to a Blacknet terminal

In order to start this mission, you have to get to location [760, 1335]. Very important information is fact, that the terminal can be only used by authorized persons, so you have to consume a soldier or a scientist first, and then shapeshift. Find the Blacknet terminal and interact with it (B button), watching out for viral detectors.

New objective: Hunt and consume Dr. Ben Langham

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. Only then send an impulse (press left analog stick), so you'll easily find the location of the scientist you're looking for (screen above).

Dr. Ben Langham should stand next to the phone booth in the central part of the green zone and his approximate location is [780, 1395]. Since the scientist stays in the public area, you do not have to disguise to approach and consume him.

Releasing imprisoned mutants

New objective: Go to base Stronghold Three to kill the Brawlers scheduled for release

New objective: Use the hand scanner to release and kill the brawlers

Your next target is location [640, 1448]. After approaching the base, disguise as a scientist or a soldier and get inside. You have to use one of two available hand scanners (B button) in location [631, 1446]. Regardless of which scanner you've used, both brawlers will be released from cages.

New objective: Kill the brawlers

Do not try to attacks brawlers from the beginning, because both creatures will start fleeing. So you have to chase them. During the chase help yourself with sprint, running over walls, long jumps and gliding.

The chase should be over near the closed passage to the red zone in location [730, 1155]. Now you can start attacking brawlers. The easiest tactics for these monsters is to jump over them and quickly attack with blades, claws, tendrils or other powers.

You can also eliminate them in other ways, for example by activating the Devastator attack, taking away the rocket launcher from one of the local Blackwatch soldiers or jumping to the helicopter flying over the battlefield, to tear off its missile launcher. Regardless of the method, try to consume each defeated brawler. After the fight you might need to exit the alert, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

Hunting sergeant Lance Bertram

New objective: Go to a Blacknet terminal

Go again to location [760, 1335]. Same as previously, you must get inside the base disguised as a soldier or a scientist, remembering about avoiding viral detectors. Interact with the terminal again (B button).

New objective: Hunt and consume sergeant Lance Bertram

Behave same as with the previous hunt, so get to the rooftop of one of highest buildings in the area in order to locate sergeant. He should stand near the APC in location [650, 1443]. Make sure to enter the base disguised as a scientist or a soldier. Fortunately Bertram shouldn't be observed by anyone, so you can consume him right away.

Destroying APCs

New objective: Destroy the APC's carrying the biomass scanners

There are three APCs to be destroyed. Two of them are parked in location [670, 1275] and the third one is in location [667, 1253]. I suggest approaching indicated vehicles in disguise. Their scanners are not functioning properly yet, so you won't be prematurely exposed.

You can destroy APCs in many ways, but if you want to complete the bonus objective, you have to at least once use the Devastator attack. I personally recommend using it only in further part of fights, when you stand next to damaged APC, because it may turn out that the attack is too weak to destroy fully functional vehicle. Remember also that the Devastator attack (B + Y) becomes available only after loading the mass bar, so after consuming biological characters.

The most effective method of eliminating APCs is to use different types of launchers. So you can take away rocket launchers from Blackwatch soldiers or tear them off directly from attacked vehicles (B button and then X button). Less obvious methods are attacks with tendrils or other powers effective against metal targets. You can also throw explosive objects at APCs.

If during advance to the next experience level, you've unlocked finisher connected with APCs, you can use it now by jumping on the machine (B button) and making it explode (Y button; screen above). Destroying all vehicles will result in displaying cut-scene showing helicopters.

Destroying helicopters

New objective: Destroy the helicopters to find the biomass scanner engineer

Also in this case you have a lot of freedom in choosing the fight tactics. You can for example use the rocket launchers taken away from Blackwatch soldiers or use the shield to bounce missiles (RB button), but in my opinion the best solution is to jump towards helicopter (A button) to catch it (B button).

After that actions decide to tear off its missile launcher (X button) and then use it to shoot the helicopter (screen above). Of course if you run out of ammo, you can jump to another helicopter and repeat the action. Fight until all machines are destroyed.

New objective: Consume the engineer

New objective: Exit the alert

Consuming the engineer is very easy, because Heller should land near the last destroyed helicopter. Quickly grab indicated person, not letting him to flee. In order to finish the mission you have to exit alert, but this should be also easy. Notice that as a reward for completing the mission you can choose a mutation from Offensive category.
