This is a relatively straightforward infiltration from any direction. However, the sniper on the roof is a big problem, as he can see most of your takedowns and foes on the ground can spot you killing him from close range and afar. The optimal path takes this into account.
Crouch down in the middle of the Bliss fields; you can pretty much tag foes with silenced gunfire from within any field area, as long as you remove the enemies above you first.
There are several hunter platforms along the eastern side of this compound, near
,
, and
. Aside from the height, they don’t offer much help, as you’re easily spotted and have little hiding potential. The zip lines are useful if you’re in a bind, but you’re easily seen.
The sniper tower
isn’t worth climbing; you’re a sitting duck up here. Instead, if you’re creating cross-fire opportunities with an ally, have one of you on the rock outcrop
to snipe down on foes. Note that you can leap from here to the roof of the small white barn. This is also a good spot to shoot both alarm panels without repositioning.
The barn is near a caged wolverine and two foes. Smash open the back door to reach the equipment inside.
Undetected/No Alarms: Begin by tagging foes from the low wooded hills to the east
. Crawl through the Bliss to the foe outside the kitchen structure
, then head inside. Fire a silenced weapon at the two foes in the field to the west, both near the sniper tower at
. Crouch, slowly move out of the doorway at
, aim at the sniper until his head is visible, and shoot him. Head into the main structure the sniper was standing on. Shoot the foe on the porch, then strangle the Angel inside, in a quick one-two takedown.
This just leaves two foes to the south near the small barn and an Angel. Feel free to sneak around to the rock outcrop, from
to
, line up a double headshot, and kill the cultists. Then shoot or strangle the Angel and ignore the two caged wolverines. Or you can shoot both cages and let the wolverines loose to maul the cultists, though that isn’t guaranteed.
