Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 — Tajmid Heights guide

Rescue Taj Taheer and Eliminate Isabella Sanchez

Taj Taheer is a journalist and he’s a prisoner in this area. There are multiple challenges that you can complete here, primarily pertaining to how you’ll eliminate Isabella Sanchez (i.e., while she’s near the main building, while she’s interrogating Taj, and the like). However, I’ve experienced a few issues while trying to do these, making several reloads quite frustrating.

Taj starts out inside a cell. If you shoot the lone guard at the door, Taj will attempt to escape. This will be a nightmare if multiple hostiles are still around. As such, try to snipe your opponents one at a time.

Begin by taking out the soldiers and snipers that are fairly distant. Then, look for objects that can be used as distractions (i.e., fuse boxes and barrels) so you can separate soldiers that are close to each other. Due to relying on long-distance shots, it’s very risky to try and fire at two targets when one has been alerted (unless you’ve obtained some remote sniper turret perks).

Assuming you haven’t, then it’s going to be a test of your patience. Eventually, though, Isabella Sanchez should leave the main building.

Note 1: I believe the trigger is once you’ve killed most of the guards at the right-hand side near the main building. As much as possible, avoid killing the guard underneath the stairwell until Isabella has left. Isabella will notice his corpse once she heads out, and the base will be put on high alert if that happens.

Note 2: If the base gets alerted, Isabella will immediately beeline for Taj, executing him within a few seconds.

Once Isabella makes her way to the central area (with the jeep), you can shoot the vehicle to distract her. Alternatively, you can let her pass by, shooting the two guards in quick succession before they could react.

The most important moment, though, is once Isabella reaches Taj’s cell. Once she enters the cell, you can shoot Taj’s guard. Then, you can line up your shot to assassinate Isabella too.

Note 1: I’ve experienced a bug wherein Isabella was killed while she was inside the cell (since I was attempting a challenge), but the game thought she was simply “near the main building.” In another attempt, I saw the interrogation dialogue trigger. But, after a reload, nothing happened (neither Taj nor Isabella spoke).

Note 2: In case you shot Taj’s guard before Isabella reaches him, she’ll instead try to search for the escaped prisoner. Assassinating her while she’s looking for Taj is also another challenge.

Whatever the case may be, your goal is to provide overwatch for Taj as he attempts to reach safety. If all the other guards (and Isabella) have been dealt with, then you’ll have to watch out for three additional spawns:

• The first house on the left once Taj climbs down will have two soldiers come out.
• Two soldiers will appear from the house near the wheat field.
• The main street has two soldiers that’d spawn, and you might need to use EMP rounds to disable the two turrets as well.

When you’re done, Taj will be safe and sound. Depending on how you approached this contract, you should be able to complete multiple challenges (as long as some of them didn’t bug out).

Let’s go ahead and talk about eliminating two more targets in the next part of our guide.
