MISSION Commencement
After exiting Hope County Jail, Faith takes you away into the Bliss, telling you Eden’s Gate has captured Sheriff Whitehorse, a man who kept you from seeing the Truth. From your current vantage point (a pool with a central rock island), the truth is somewhat more violent:
KILL Faith Seed
Faith has seemingly superhuman powers; she is able to thwart you with the following combat techniques, which she defends against accordingly:
- She floats in the air: Fire at her immediately, so red “petals” churn out of her form. Continue this until she becomes unavailable to aim at.
- She disappears, speaks to you, and reappears again: Manually track her, waiting until she’s stopped angrily pleading with you. If the central rock area has equipment you wish to utilize, this is the time to grab it.
- She floats and throws three “Bliss balls” of energy at you: Circle-strafe in either direction to avoid them, reloading your weapon (if you need to) during the attack; then shoot her consistently until she disappears or changes tactics.
- She splits into many forms, circling you and summoning Angels: This is a good opportunity to increase your kill count with a weapon you don’t commonly use. It is near the central rock with ammunition and med kits (such as the light machine gun). Shoot the closest targets if you’re here to kill. Shoot the forms of Faith until you hit one that extrudes petals; this is the real Faith (you can see wind whipping up these petals if you’ve spent time shooting her doppelgangers instead).
As her health depletes, Faith becomes more frantic, before the real truth about Joseph is revealed. Faith collapses, carried away into the water. However, your path continues.
