Roadmap

Save Churchill, Part 1: In Shadows

 

  • Estimated difficulty: 2/10
  • Offline Achievements: 3 (70:gsicon:)
  • Time to 70:gsicon:: 20-30 minutes
  • Glitchy/Missable/Unobtainable: None

 

Introduction:

In this three-part series of single player DLC, you are tasked with uncovering a plot to assassinate the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.

 

In this first part, you return to Siwa Oasis, this time under the cover of night. You must infiltrate the bombed out stronghold and search for clues about the potential assassination plot and stop them… if you can.

 

This mission can be played as either single player or in online co-op. Once this mission is downloaded, to access it from the main menu, navigate to Campaign > Downloadable Missions > In Shadows.

 

 

Abbreviated Walkthrough:

You should be able to unlock all three achievements in one playthrough. Unless you want to challenge yourself, play on Cadet difficulty. There are no achievements for difficulty, collectibles or objectives. You just need to complete the mission, reach the Command Tent without alerting anyone and complete the mission without using any healing items. If you decide to gather collectibles and/or complete the optional objectives, this mission will take longer than the time stated.

Complete 'In Shadows'

 

Story related, cannot be missed.

 

[spoiler=InShadows]The purpose of this mission is to gather intel on the assassination plot against Winston Churchill. For this, you must return to bombed-out stronghold Siwa Oasis. Using the night skies as your cover, you must locate the Command Tent that is believed to hold the intel you seek. It turns out that a rival sniper named Raubvogel has set a trap for you and you must escape. After relocating so the guards all off their search, you exfiltrate from the stronghold and secure transportation to follow your leads to the Rif mountains in Morocco.

 

Enemy placement will be moderate, and with the exception where you are forced to relocate, this mission can be done 100% stealth with minimal kills, even on higher difficulties. Exfiltrating out of the stronghold can be a little tricky as there are numerous guards covering both escape points, but with some strategy, it can be done silently.

Get to the command tent unseen and without killing anyone

 

You are awarded this achievement for successfully reaching the command tent without being detected and without killing any enemies. They can become suspicious, however, if they hear a noise (a yellow circle above their heads) but if they spot you, that circle turns red and you have been seen. It is recommended that you manual save periodically so if you are seen, you can just load your last save.

 

The command tent is located in the center of the stronghold, just west of the “Set fire to the garrison’s food supplies” optional objective and southeast of the middle sniper nest (both circled in red below). A star appears on the command tent as you get near to it.

 

It is best to do this on Cadet difficulty. From the spawn point, you want to bypass the main gate (as there are two guards there). Sneak past the gate and continue along the path to the right (up an incline) until you reach the northern corner of the stronghold. There is a hole in the wall here, so drop down into the room. As you exit, there are two guards talking in a courtyard. Sneak to the left and post behind the wall until they stop talking. One guard will walk towards you and to the left, so follow him silently along his path. Break off that path to the right and continue around and you will come upon three more guards. They immediately turn away from you so continue along the road and turn left into an opening. Drop down and exit to the right. Be careful as there is a patrolling guard in front of you and overhead that may see you. Avoid him, walk through the arches and you will be in the area of the command tent.

 

There is one guard in front of it and another guard off to the left. It’s best to throw a rock to distract them both, and when they walk away, quickly enter the tent, unlocking the achievement.

 

It is recommended that you manual save periodically in case you are detected. That way, you can just load your last save instead of starting the mission over again.

Complete the mission without using any healing items

 

This is a relatively simple achievement to unlock if you play on Cadet difficulty. You cannot use med kits or bandages the entire mission. The only time enemies should be alerted to your presence is after you exit the command tent and are required to relocate. One the search has been called off or you’ve killed the immediate enemies, use stealth to escape the compound. Then, if you make your way carefully down the road towards your transportation (I stayed to the right under the cover of foliage), you should face minimal enemies that can be taken out silently with your pistol.

 

If you are careful throughout the mission and don’t do anything foolish, you shouldn’t need to use any healing items at all. Create manual saves periodically in case you are detected or if you lose too much health. The achievement will unlock during the end cutscene.
