Metro: Last Light Walkthrough Part 33 – The Red Square
Turn around as this chapter starts. There is a skeleton against the wall in an alcove. Look around it to find the first Note. Now head down the passage in front of you. When you break from it head over to the left and toward the ruined train. Get into the train and get ready. There are a number of Watchmen that will attack at this point. If you have some incendiaries, then throw one by the entrance to the train to ward off any Watchmen that head for that. From there just fight them off.
When the Watchmen have been dealt with head over to the right of the train and start dropping down the ledges. After a few you will see a marker flag. Head toward it and start toward the station it will lead to. The Dark One will have a few things to say so keep an ear open for them. He will prompt you to wait under an overhang to avoid a massive gust of wind that will pass through. Just go forward when he tells you after that. He will explain that the wind is dangerous. It will knock Artyom into the water where something will eat him before he can recover and climb out.
For this crossing you need to listen to the Dark One and only move when the wind is not blowing. Follow him closely as he will guide you to various safe spots that will shelter Artyom from the wind. Eventually he will lead you into a ditch that leads into a deeper safe patch. You do not need to worry about the wind so much now.
Keep with the Dark One as he drops down and head over to the left. There are mutants around but if you do not engage them, they will leave you alone. Follow him into the small tunnel. This leads to a disturbing vision but after it fades it will be clear to move forward again. Stay very close to the Dark One for this section and do not touch the walls.
Once you make it out of the tunnel head over to the right and up the stairs. At the top follow the path along the rooftop. You will see Watchman that will go running off ahead to the left. Grab the Rifle that is by the corpse ahead if you want it. Otherwise just head along the right-hand side and look fro the break in the wall. Drop down after that and head forward in the trench you see ahead of you. Follow this passage into the next portion.
When you see a number of broken arches you have reached the next portion of the path. Head forward and over to the left to catch up with the Dark One. You should also search this area to find a small crawl space that will lead to the second Note for the chapter. He explains that ahead there are a number of Bad People, all red. Head all the way forward to the door if you want. Pavel is here and explains that they have special orders to kill Artyom on sight. Pull out a scoped weapon, find some cover and get to work killing the rest of them. The Dark One will help you and highlight the various Red Line Soldiers that are around. Use very careful shots to pick them off one at a time. Make note of where they are. The Little Dark One can only augment your sight for so long for each stretch. Make good use of each time the Dark One helps you. There are 3 on the left and 1 on the right above you. On the grounds around you, after a while, soldiers will appear and start attacking you. Most of the cover around here is wooden so it provides little protection. Move around and deal with each of them in turn.
As the fight wears on, it is important to either take out the light from the station or simply shoot any light source on the sides. Most of those lights are on the helmets of soldiers. This makes it a lot easier to find them. Just aim carefully and take them down. When you hear Pavel tell his men to finish off Artyom you are nearly at the end of the fight. There are a number of soldiers that will come out the front door of the station. Gun them down and head inside.
Go up the stairs in the back right after you grab the ammo you need. A soldier will be firing down on you so deal with him. After you round the landing, another soldier will start shooting at you. Just throw some dynamite up to the top to deal with him. Go to the top of the stairs and head out to the walkway to the left. Keep low and against the crate. Shoot at Pavel again. Go forward and to the right, into the first room and go over to the right after that. You will find Pavel on the ground. He is taunting you some to kill him. The Dark One will link Artyom's mind with Pavel's and more of their scheme is revealed. From there you get another choice: to spare or kill Pavel. Just move forward quickly to Pavel to move toward the good ending otherwise just let him be. Head over to the left and go down the walkway. This will lead right to the end of the chapter.
