![]() ![]() The difficulty you’ll have with this encounter varies with the weapons you brought with you before the “Kizingo Boulevard” flashback. Using my Ghost, I exchanged fire with the Chieftain as I zipped between the two adjacent entrances allotted to me by the longer route. Supporting them are two Jackals with sniper rifles and Brutes in Jetpacks. Once you get closer to your goal, you’ll see there’s a small Brute pack, topped off with a Chieftain wielding an FRG, blocking your way. Keen observers will recognize you return to this location later on in the game. On my playthrough, I had a Ghost waiting, so taking out the Hunters didn’t cause me too much pain. Taking the longer route will give you more room to maneuver with two different entry points instead of the one as allowed by the shorter route, but you’ll have to fight through a pair of Hunters to earn that advantage. There’s a heavy Covenant presence guarding the entrance to the beacon. ![]() There are two ways to get to the beacon point on the map-one longer, the other shorter. Hitting the back button will show the rest of the city is inaccessible besides the small section the Rookie is in. Soon enough you’ll hear the squeals of two squads of Grunts trying to flank you. The waypoint eventually fades, but the marker in your HUD’s compass remains to point you in the right direction. The moment you return you’re greeted by a waypoint that directs you to the other side of the building in front of you. On your last visit to the Mombasa hub, you’ll immediately notice a couple of things that will make this trek different from all the rest. The Rookie readies his rifle and heads in the Phantom’s direction. Need immediate assistance.”Ībove, a Phantom reroutes from its original flight path and heads in the direction of her signal. After so much silence during the Rookie’s gameplay, it’s rather jarring.ĭare: “My beacon is active. “Can anyone here me? This is Captain Veronica Dare.”Ī familiar voice, but not one you’ve heard in a while. The Rookie checks to see if there’s any more bio-foam in the canister before he discards it. The title of the song is appropriate, as it is almost daybreak and we’re closing in on the end of “ODST.” We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The screen fades from black, and the beginning notes of “The Light at the End” greet you upon your return to the city. Expect a couple of jackals inside, but nothing else between you and that data.Mombasa Streets: ‘Kikowani Station’ – ‘Data Hive’ Interim There's a security door on the western side that's hard to see but can be opened. It's a completely enclosed room with yet another audiolog for the ViSR. ![]() Check your map from this location and look at the first open area directly north of you (it looks like a Superman logo). Watch out for a sniping jackal in the mall.Īlso in the mall, in a covered area to your left (assuming you're walking northwest) is another bit of data to download to your ViSR. But just around the corner, to the right, is a narrow passage that leads to what looks like an open-air mall. Just past the wrecked big rig, look to the right for a path that dead-ends at a route door that won't open. Head through the route doorway at the northeast corner of the block to return to familiar ground and then take a hard left turn just beyond the door to start trekking west. Use your map to locate them (or just follow the streams of their beams) to clear the area. If you've got a beam rifle of your own, you can simply return fire. Gun them down from the cover of the narrow space just outside the large route doorway you used to get here and then turn your attention to the sniping jackals.
