Mission Reward: Insula Striate FOW disabled
When you’re ready to do this, go to Grande Pastura. Di Ravello has another buried bunker you must infiltrate and destroy. As before, follow the cables through the wilderness to get wherever it leads.
Follow the Pipes
At first, the trek involves fairly simple climbs up the hills. The pipes are easy to see, and the way is clear. It’s up to you whether to grapple your way up or to use the chopper near the starting point.
Get to the top of the mountain and look for a large hatch in the ground. Dimah hacks it open for you. Drop into the base below and start killing guards. There are a decent number of them in here, but you can grapple onto a balcony above the first room if you need a place to hide and rest during the skirmish.
Destroy the Command Node
Kill the guards, from higher ground if needed, and go into the next room. There are only scientists inside. Look for a panel to open the next gate, and use that to continue.
The soldiers in the Command Node are very heavily armored. They take plenty of shots, even to the head, before they go down. Hang back and hit them at range so that you don’t expose yourself too early in the fight.
Use the miniguns that the enemies were carrying to destroy the transformers in that room.
Swim out through a submerged tunnel on the side of the command node. There’s a merciful air pocket halfway through the exit tunnel, and after that you hit open air once again.
That was way easier than expected. Should that make us nervous? Hmmmm…
