Vantage Point

Galahad surveys the foyer and spots an immediate complication: Sir Lucan, the Knight Commander, accompanies Lord Hastings, perhaps for added security purposes. Galahad moves upstairs to a better vantage point (22) on the balcony overlooking the foyer. He assembles his M84 Marksman Carbine, and employs its scope to gather additional intelligence.

Lucan and Hastings stand on the foyer floor near a display (23). United India Company guards are posted around the room, but some are rebel assassins in disguise. As Galahad points out, the stolen company uniforms stashed in the London Hospital didn’t have proper insignias on their shoulders. So your task now is to find the guards with no shoulder patches.

Identify the disguised rebels

A total of four guards stands in the foyer. Get each guard centered in the sniper scope and press to zoom in. Then press whenever the prompt appears to make an examination. Note that some examinations require two presses.

Here are the locations:

• One guard stands at the top of the staircase to the right (24). He’s a bona fide Company guard with a patch.
• The guard at the bottom of the same staircase (25), nearest Lord Hastings, stands with his back to you at first. Press and keep watching in zoomed view until the guard turns around. There’s his patch! Press again when the prompt reappears. Galahad reports to Perceval.
• Use the same process with the guard at the railing (26) up on the balcony opposite from Galahad. Press and wait until he turns to show his patchless shoulder. Then press again to verify that he’s rebel to Perceval.

  

• Finally, put your scope on the guard beside the floor-level doorway (27). No patch! Another rebel.

  

Take out the disguised rebels

Use the sniper rifle to nail the floor level rebel. (Hurry! If you wait too long, he strolls over and assassinates Lord Hastings.) Shooting the imposter triggers a cutscene: Galahad calls out a warning to Lucan, who hustles Lord Hastings upstairs to safety. Meanwhile, other rebels start pouring into the foyer from an upper doorway, taking out the Company guards. One of them calls out: “Time for Plan B!”
