Mission: Someone’s Knocking

Objective: Enter the bunker to analyze Iraq’s data.

Objective: Trace the hacker.

Start the mission to watch a cut-scene, then you need to play the hacking mini-game three times. Throughout the entire set of mini-game hotspots, the screen will be interrupted randomly, which may cause your input to be missed, so be mindful of that. During the second and third hotspots, some points will randomly become timed, so move quickly. During the final hotspot, the points may randomly turn on their own, which means you’ll have to go back to them and correct the problem. The easiest way to tell when this happens is to look for the only line that isn’t blue when the puzzle should be complete. 

For the first hotspot, start in the lower left corner and turn the point three times. Move to the lower right corner and turn it twice, then move over to the point in the upper right corner and turn it once. Move to the point above and slightly to the left and turn it one time as well. Move to the left and slightly down to the next point and turn it once, then move to the far left point and turn it once, then move up and to the right and turn that point one time, and finally move to the right and slightly down and turn that point three times to unlock the final point at the top in the middle. 

For the second hotspot, start in the middle point near the bottom (not the bottom point) and turn it twice. Move right one point and turn it twice, the move up one point and turn it twice as well. Turn the point to the right once, then ignore the next point up and turn the point to the right of that one time. Move left along the line and turn the next point one time, then move left one point again and turn it twice. 

Move down to the lower left point (left of the starting point) and turn it twice, then follow the line up and turn the next point twice as well. Move left one point and turn it once, then skip the point up and to the right. Move over to the point on the left of that and turn it once, then follow the line to the right and turn that point one time. This unlocks the point in the middle at the top, which sends you to the third and final hotspot.

The last hotspot changes to timed points rapidly, so you have to move quickly. Pause the game between points if you need to. Start at the point near the bottom again (not the point at the very bottom) and turn it once. Move to the right and turn that point twice, then move up along the line and turn the next point twice as well. Move right to the next point and turn it once, then ignore the point to the left and  move right, into the corner and turn that point once. Move up and to the left to turn that point once as well. 

Move left one point and turn it twice, then move down to the point left of the starting point and turn it twice. Move up along the line and turn the next point twice as well, then move up and to the left and turn the next point once. Ignore the point to the right, then follow the line up and to the left and turn the next point once. Follow the line to the right and turn the adjacent point one time, then turn the point to the right one time to unlock the final point to the right and complete the mission.
