Lars Hellstrom and the Mainframe
The main facility, known as the Citadel, is all the way to the northwest of the map. Multiple branching paths lead to it.
Still, assuming you haven’t unlocked any mobility skills yet (i.e., ziplines), your best course of action is to make your way down the riverbank.
If you crawl off to the side, you can avoid the tank. Then, follow the main path to avoid the minefield. This will lead you to an opening in the Citadel’s first section.
As soon as you enter, move to your left and don’t get spotted by the turrets. If you have EMP rounds or EMP grenades, your life will be easier. If not, just be very careful.
Eventually, though, you should find control panels that can disable the turrets (just follow the blue wires that lead to the panels themselves).
In any case, your task is to find a way inside the facility. My suggestion would be to use the side sections since there are stairwells. There’s also an opening that you can use to drop down inside a small room.
The doorway here leads to an elevator shaft that takes you to the inner sanctum of the Citadel.
Eliminating Lars Hellstrom
You’ll start out on the B3 floor. Sneak around or silently eliminate the guards until you reach the elevator.
If you want to complete a challenge, ride the elevator up to B1 and aim at Hellstrom (he’s on B2) while the elevator is moving. If you can kill him now, you’ll get this challenge completed.
However, you need Hellstrom’s keycard to access the mainframe. So, go back to the elevator and bring it back down to B3. Once you see the walkway leading to B2, quickly do a running jump to reach the platform.
Note: It can take a few tries, so just be patient. It’s even possible to get stuck in mid-air or in the textures.
Frying the Mainframe
Follow the hallway as it loops around, taking out enemies or making your way past them until you reach Hellstrom’s office. Pick up his keycard and ride the elevator down to B4, the Mainframe level.
Ideally, you should try to eliminate as many guards as possible, especially those who are just crowding around or are unaware of your presence. This will help for the next part of this mission.
Once you’re inside the control room, interact with the terminal to upload the virus. This will cause alarms to go off and the chamber will be locked down — then half a dozen soldiers or so will swarm the area.
My suggestion would be to go to the back of the control room and climb up the ladders. You should reach a decent sniping position to take out the hostiles.
Your main target here is a guard named Amaya Nakamura.
After killing her, pick up her keycard and interact with the terminal again to end the lockdown.
Ride the elevator to B0 until you’re back at the surface. If you look to your left as you exit, there’s a stairwell that leads to the rooftop. Go ahead and exfiltrate the level.
Up next, we’re going to travel to Tajmid Heights.
