Prove It To Me / Driven to Extinction
Once you arrive at Crater Lake with Mike, after the first mission Mayday! Mayday! and visit the camp, accompany Captain Kouri to the scene of the investigation. Inspect the bag on the bed in the cabin. Exit through the second door and examine the cut wire on the fence.
Return to the building where you fought the bear and begin your search.
Follow the tracks and beware of the hungry wolves. Then inspect the deer’s body and continue to follow the tracks. Explore the subsequent trails until you pass the Horde near the sawmill.
Don’t Give Me Orders
The continuation of the mission. Eliminate the threat: 15 opponents. At the beginning, the enemies are not aware of your presence. Conserve your ammo and quietly eliminate them as much as possible.
In the back, you will find a sniper on the cart.
We Will Take Back This World
Reach the top of the mountain located in the center of the camp and meet Garrett. After this mission, you will start two side quests that are part of Protecting The Weak and Bounty Hunter storylines.
Leave All That by the Door
Enter the second building.
Weaver’s chest
Once you’re done touring with Garrett, Weaver will contact you over the radio. Go near the second camp (fast travel) to the west. The item you are looking for is in the corner of the second building (squeeze through the chests).
Go to the cave and push the blue SUV that blocks the entrance. Take a sample inside and jump down – you will find a few Freakers. Do not blow up the canister; it is best to use only melee weapons.
Search for silicates on the stone walls.
Pay close attention as you need to collect the red cinnabar samples located on the rocks. Start the generator – you need fuel from the canister you found earlier. Collect the remaining 5 samples from the tunnels and escape through the old shaft.
NERO Research Site
Don’t forget to collect NERO Injector located above. Once you are done, exit the cave and return to base.
I Recognize the Expression / I’ve Experienced Better Days
Upon completion of the mission “I Know Things Are Strange (I’m Never Giving Up)”, head to Wizard Island Camp to meet Dr. Jiminez. After a brief conversation, a new mission will be unlocked once Taylor contacts you over the radio…
Travel south-east to the enemy camp, which is situated in the mountains. Once the cut-scene ends, eliminate the 8 enemy opponents. You can either use stealth attacks or a sniper rifle. Once the area is cleared, release Taylor.
I Attempted to Strike That Once
This mission will be unlocked immediately upon completion of “Afraid of a Little Competition? (I’m Never Giving Up)”. Head south-east, near the location where you saved Weaver.
Wooden boxes are placed along the side route. Inside, you will find 7 polystyrene plastic cups. Collect them all (they are only near the road). The starting point for the next mission is Sarah – Just Another Requisition Form (I’m Never Giving Up).
You Are Irreplaceable
Upon completion of the missions for the commanders of Wizard Island, head back to Dr. Jimenez. After that, talk to Sarah in her tent to start the mission “What Kept Me Going (I’m Never Giving Up)”.
It’s My Treat
Once you complete the mission “We Couldn’t Take The Risk (I’m Never Giving Up)”, head to the field hospital. After this brief mission, you’ll unlock yet another Garrett’s speech – My Eyes Have Been Opened (Law and Disorder).
I Don’t Want to be Hanged
“I Don’t Want to Hang” is another story mission that can be unlocked after returning with Sarah from Lost Lake. Clear the surroundings of the resort from enemies and head to the main entrance of the building. After the cutscene, the mission is over. The next mission will begin when Sarah tells you on the radio when you are out of the camp: This could be it (I’m never giving up).
Our Decline
This mission will start automatically after defeating the Horde in the mission “This could be it / You alone I have seen (I’m never giving up)”. It’s just a conversation with Garrett in the ark (tunnels). After it, however, you unlock the option to talk to Garrett (Evil surrounds us (Law and disorder) and optional mission bounty Hunter – do not want to know.
He’s Not Fond of Music
This mission will start automatically after defeating the Horde in the mission “This could be it / You alone I have seen (I’m never giving up)”. Head East to find an MP3 player for Weaver.
If you haven’t cleared this spot before, expect a Horde here. Defeating it is not a necessary step – when you know where to find the player, you can quickly collect it and run. You will find it in the South-Eastern tent, in the Central part of the complex.
Shadow of Death
Attention – complete the task and an optional activity in this location before you start the quest. For this task involving mainly cutscenes, you go straight to the latest storyline of story missions – Race against time. Many tasks and activities will be available after the end of the story campaign.
To begin the mission on Wizard Island called “What It Takes to Survive (I’m never giving up),” make sure it’s in your diary. If not, try completing “The Anarchists Spy (Bounty Hunter)” and “Just Doing My Job (The Marauder Camp Hunter).” The mission starts with Garrett’s final speech, which is secret. Follow Sarah closely and pay attention to her instructions. Avoid the guards and let Sarah handle them when possible, but be ready to assist her when necessary. Take your time and be patient.
