Chapter 7 information

This chapter is divided into several parts. In its primary stage, Nate will have to sneak a lot, due to the fact that he lacks any firearms. Further on, staying in the shadow will be optional. On the other hand, the final part is a sequence of battles that you can't avoid, and it will begin in a large ballroom. There are no secrets to be found during this stage, so you may focus strictly on eliminating your enemies.

Escaping the manor - part one

Perform a far jump

In the primary stage of the chapter, our hero has no weapons, and thus his only chance to survive is to remain unnoticed. If you get spotted, the mission won't end automatically, but your only means of eliminating your enemies will be close combat. Run along a linear path. Once you reach the end, jump over a low wall and perform a long jump towards the nearby tower. At this very moment, opponents will appear in the area. They are very visible, due to their flashlights (stay away from illuminated places).

You can pull down your first opponent or just avoid him

Don't try to get inside the small tower, but rather remain in a hanging position and keep moving to the left. Hold on to higher edges and reach the bigger tower. Here, one of the guards will stop directly above Nate. You can avoid him, or pull him down. Regardless of your decision, go around the tower from the left.

Once Nate gets above a small but solid shelf, pull yourself down. Draw attention to the highest nearby tower with another guard. Wait for him to go left, and all the other enemies with flashlights in this area turn away from you. Get to the high tower and use encountered shelves to move left. Your objective is to reach the pole presented in the screenshot.

Walk across the empty building and get to its back

Reach the pole but take your time before you perform the jump (the nearby building is illuminated by a watchman situated right above our hero). Study his path and jump right after he turns his flashlight away from the position that you want to reach. Once you are inside the new building, take cover behind the curtain quickly. Make your way to the other side of the room but don't lean out. Once you get there, jump through one of the two window frames or enter the balcony.

Move left but don't climb the roof too early

Move slightly to the left and jump on the roof. Approach the edge, pull yourself down, and only then move left. On your way, jump on a higher roof, but don't try to climb it too early (Nate would be spotted by his foes). Perform the action no sooner than before you reach the building on the left. Climb up the wall, get to one of the window frames and move left. This way you will avoid the first group of opponents and get to another location.

Use long grass to your advantage and eliminate two more opponents

You will end up in a yard with long grass. Use it to avoid you enemies; you will remain undetected, as long as you stay in one place or one of the guards gets too close to Nate. Wait till one of the enemies moves towards you and press Square at the right moment (you will take down your opponent quietly). Move slightly forward, wait for the other opponent and repeat the maneuver.

Remember - if you get spotted too early, run up to your foe and begin standard close combat. This will prevent him from using a firearm.

You can move forward. Follow a linear path and stop when you notice two opponents on your left, in the distance. Let them search the area, meet with other thugs and leave the location. You can continue your journey. Climb the roof of a building on the right, and turn left and locate a ballroom in the distance, which is your objective. Find the window frame presented in the screenshot and use it to reach a large office.

Meeting Nadine Ross

Choose your dialogue option

While trying to get inside the office, Nathan will run into Nadine Ross, and after a short conversation they will engage in close combat. The key thing is that you can't win this fight, so don't get frustrated if Nate's strikes are inaccurate. During the entire duel, you will be asked to choose a dialogue option twice. However, your decision will not affect the result of the fight. The only moment when you have to stay sharp is when Nate is being forced by a bookshelf. Press square as soon as the icon appears on the screen. Your encounter will end with an effective cut scene.

Escaping the manor - part two

Shoot two guards

You will regain control over Nate while he is holding on to metal poles. Use them to reach the nearby window frames and get to the right roof. When you reach a large balcony, perform a long jump towards the opposite balcony. Leap towards the next pole. You won't be successful and Nate will end up under fire. Wait till Sam throws you a pistol, and only then lean out and shoot the bandits. Deal with them, and climb and use the nearby edge to reach solid ground.

You can ambush the first thug

As soon as you get close enough to the fallen enemies, other opponents equipped with flashlights will appear. If you want, you can eliminate them with your newly acquired pistol, or wait in the shadows and ambush them. If you pick the latter option, quickly head right, jump over the railing and leap to a balcony with the closest enemy available. Don't attack him right away, but wait for him in the nearby corridor. Grab him or attack from behind.

The other bandit is located on the balcony with long grass

Another opponent is not far away. Wait for him to turn towards a different direction, jump through the window and leap towards him. Eliminate him in a way that will allow you to leave his body in the long grass (if it falls on the lower roof, other opponents may be alerted). Move right and locate two more guards. Use long grass to your advantage and eliminate them one by one. Don't let other patrolling thugs notice you.

Move left and don't get caught by enemies at the railing

Use the stairs previously used by your opponents and jump through the first encountered window frame. Move forward, jump through another window and start moving left. Sneak up under walls and balconies, especially those that are more visible. Constantly look around, as some of the thugs may stop for a moment at the railing. Slip past the guards and jump down. Turn towards a lower roof in the distance and jump to reach it. Get to a small yard with long grass and listen to Nate's comment.

Escaping the manor - part three

The final part of the journey to the ballroom is definitely the shortest but it does not mean that it won't cause you any trouble. When you get to the yard, one of your foes will be patrolling the upper wall (see screenshot). Furthermore, two more watchmen will soon join him. Just like before, you can try to shoot all of them, or sneak some more.

Move right and keep your head down when possible

If you don't want to get into a direct fight, move towards the closest railing (before your foes reach this position and start searching the area). Jump over the railing and move right. Remember to keep your head down when possible. You will reach a part of the roof located near a spot where you landed earlier. Ambush one of your enemies and pull him down as soon as he stops at the wall. This way you will make the rest of your struggle much easier.

Slide down the presented rope

Jump over the wall and enter the building from which two thugs came out moments ago. Reach the stairs and continue your sneaking routine. You don't want to be spotted by the previously mentioned watchman, so move between pillars and use them as cover. Your objective is a part of roof with an attached rope. Grab it and use it to reach the ballroom.

Getting to the main gate

Don't let your enemies reorganize or flank you

There is a battle going on in the ballroom and you must help Sam to deal with the guards. Don't take cover behind pieces of wooden furniture, as they can be damaged easily by enemy fire. Hide behind massive pillars instead, because they are indestructible. When it comes to your opponents, don't let them flank you. Avoid places where grenades land. It is highly recommended that you disarm one of the bandits and take his gun, e.g. a shotgun or a machine gun.

Watch out for more guards that will enter the ballroom

You can fight in whichever part of the ballroom you like, but you need to remember that after some time backup will arrive through the right door. Keep that in mind and you shouldn't get caught up in crossfire. Take your time to eliminate all your opponents and go outside when you kill all the guards. Once you exit the building, place yourself near the stairs, or one of the walls, and use elevation to your advantage to take out your enemies.

The sharpshooter is using a rifle with a laser scope which reveals his location

You need to be extremely careful because soon after you walk down the stairs to a lower section of the garden, you will come across a hostile sniper. His laser scope will give away his location. Kill him as soon as possible (you can use e.g. a machine gun). However, before you actually do that, take cover, and dodge if you need to change your location.

You need to get to Sully's Limousine

When you get close enough to the exit, Sully will break through the gate with a limousine. Don't rush to the vehicle, because a new wave of opponents will appear on both sides of the car. Systematically kill your enemies and wait for the right moment to move forward. Now sprint to its back door.
