Prototype 2 Walkthrough

Unofficial Prototype 2 Guide by vhayste for


 

This guide features screenshots and videos covering the complete story walkthrough, guide to all \\Blacknet Missions, a Trophy Guide, as well as maps and screenshots in finding all Blackboxes, Field Ops and Lairs.

 



   




Intro

Once in control, you have to follow Mercer. This is a tutorial so just follow the instructions for now. Keep following Mercer until he brings down a helicopter. A large mutant will appear so just hold R2 and sprint to escape it. After that sequence, another mutant will attack you. Keep attacking it until it is killed. Watch the following scenes.





   




Yellow Zone - Resurrection

Once you're inside the lab, you have to defeat the first wave of infected using light and heavy attacks. Next, recover your HP by grabbing and consuming the infected. After the explosion, grab the table in the middle, target the observation glass then throw it there. Hold X to high jump and escape the containment room.


Survival Stimulus

 



   




The Strong Survive

Once you're out in the city, attack the Blackwatch Commander as instructed. Consume him then escape the red-alert area. Just keep holding R2 to sprint and Heller will do the scaling and jumping automatically. After breaking Blackwatch's line of sight, change to your other form.



Consume some civilians to boost your HP then head to the building marked in your map. Scale the wall and step on the blue marker to check the area. Head to the church next and air glide to reach it quicker. Approach the marker for a scene.


Head to the hospital rooftop and step on the blue marker to acquire your Hunting Ability. Press L3 to hunt the commander. Once you have acquired the target just glide to his position and consume him immediately. Escape the alert by killing all the guards and shapeshifting to your other form.


Once done, jump to the ground and step on the marker. Send out a hunting pulse as instructed, then go to higher ground. Send out another hunting pulse and take note of the direction of the return pulse. Rotate your camera to the direction of the pulse then send out another pulse to determine your target's exact location. Your target should be in the middle of the return pulse.


Spring, jump then glide to cross the broken bridge and find your next target. Consume him then escape the alert afterward to complete this mission.

From hereon you'll be in free roam. I suggest taking this time to find and locate all collectibles in the current zone you're in as they'll help unlock new skills and abilities needed to improve your chances against Blackwatch. For the exact locations of the collectibles, please refer to the collectibles section of this guide.

For now, you can collect all Blackboxes and destroy all Field Ops to get some new mutations. There's a lair in Linden Park but you can't destroy it at the moment so ignore it for now. Once ready, head to the next mission marker to start the mission.



   




Operation Flytrap

Head to Test Site Washington to stop Blackwatch's Specimen release. Defeat the Brawler by evading its attacks and landing some quick hits on it. After defeating it, you'll acquire claws, making your melee attack even more damaging.


Specimen is down!

Kill the next brawler to continue. After defeating it, you'll get a bonus objective. Perform a Claw Pounce attack to the enemy soldier to earn bonus EP. Kill the next waves of Blackwatch footsoldiers until you get the prompt to pick up rocket launchers.



Pick one up and destroy the enemy vehicle. Once done, return to the church and talk to Father Guerra to complete the mission.


 



   




Operation Orion's Belt

Stronghold 4D

Mutation Reward: Offensive

Father Guerra will instruct you to use //Blacknet Terminals. One is nearby and marked in your map so you shouldn't have problems locating it. To use it, you need to assume a military, blackwatch or scientist form. Find one nearby and consume him. Use the terminal afterward.


After getting the information about Dr. Samuel Billingsley, go to higher ground and start sending out hunting pulses to find his location. Once you located him, consume him to start a \\Blacknet mission.


Head to the Gentek Facility marked in your map then assume a military form to use the scanner and safely enter the facility. Once done, enter the facility and find the commander. It is also marked as a blue key so just locate him and consume him silently. Just don't take too long since he will get suspicious and raise and alarm. Head to the yellow door next and use the scanner to access the facility.



Head to the next room and you'll find the next commander there. You need to stealth consume him but since he is being watched by another soldier behind him, you need to take the soldier out first before you can safely consume the commander.


Now head upstairs and access the next room to find Dr. Genovese. There are two soldiers watching over him so stealth consume them to complete the bonus objective. Use the terminal next then exit the facility to complete this mission.



From hereon, \\Blacknet Missions are now available. It is worth doing these as they will award you with very helpful mutations and extra EP. Check the guide's \\Blacknet section of this guide for complete walkthroughs for these optional operations.

There's also an optional Claw Upgrade available nearby, as well as a new Blacknet Operation. (Black Tulip) To get the upgrade, you'll have to sneak inside the base, release the brawler inside the container, bring its HP down to critical then consume it. Exit the base afterward.




   




Brain Drain

Consume the nearby soldier to get his form then enter the base. Next, you have to consume the blackwatch trooper but be careful of the nearby detector as it can see through your disguise. After consuming the trooper, enter the briefing room for a scene.


Once in control, jump and press circle to pounce at one of the scientists and consume him. Chase the other three scientists to consume them as well.


Pounce and consume

After viewing the memory, you have to hunt for Dr. Shaffeld next. Once you've reached him, he will board an APC. Kill one of the soldiers carrying a rocket launcher then destroy the APC with it to complete the bonus objective. After destroying the APC, Dr. Shaffeld will escape. Chase him down and consume him to get his memory. Escape the alert to complete the mission.



   




Project Long Shadow

Head to the Research Post Long Shadow and investigate the facility. There are two consumable DNAs here so you can wreck some havoc then consume them, escape the alert then return to infiltrate the facility.


Once inside, you have to defeat the hydra. There are explosive containers scattered as well as rocket launchers so use these to your advantage. Heal yourself by consuming the soldiers nearby then continue attacking the hydra until its defeated.


Tendril action

You'll acquire the tendrils ability after defeating the hydra. Test it on the unfortunate troopers who entered the area. After clearing them out, fight your way out of the facility. Escape the alert to complete the mission.


After this mission, two missions will be available, as well as another Blacknet operation. (Operation: Manticore)



   




Feeding Time

Once the mission has started , head to Test Site Jefferson. Approach the mission marker on top of the building to update the mission. Next, head to the site and take out the blackwatch defenders.


After clearing the area, enter the building next. Consume the senior scientist then clear the room. Open the next room to find the Juggernaut. It deflects attacks and the best way to defeat it is to grab a rocket launcher, wait for it to pick up a debris that it will throw at you or when it raises its arms to smash, this shoot it while its vulnerable. This enemy requires timing to defeat as its not that hardy compared to the brawler.

After defeating it, you'll obtain its shields. To complete the bonus objective, raise your shield before the enemy rockets hit you to deflect it back to them. Once done, exit the test site and escape the alert to complete the mission.


Organic shield



   




Salvation

Head to the church and take out the first wave of rocket troopers. After clearing it out, enemy TOW vehicles will arrive. Hop on top of them then take out their launchers. Use it against them. More enemies will appear. Just continue clearing them out until the assault team is deployed. Start by weaponizing their TOW launchers and clear up the rest of the opposition before the church takes further damage. Return to the church to complete this mission.


Heller against hell

After completing this mission, a new Blacknet mission will become available. (Operation Clean Sweep)



   




The Lab Rat

Attack the helicopter before it reaches Belamy. For the bonus objective, you have to use Black Hole to attack the helicopter. Scale the walls, jump then target the helicopter before holding the attack button and release your black hole. Keep doing this until the chopper is destroyed.


Next, you'll have to intercept the APCs before they reach the Airbridge. This is a bit easier. Just spam using Tendrils to destroy the APCs. Once the target is out, smack him down and consume him. Escape the alert afterward.




   




The Mad Scientist

Head to Koenig's facility as marked in the map. Do the same drill; find the commander, consume him and use his identity to sneak inside the facility. For the bonus objective, you need to consume the Blackwatch Guard without alerting the area. There are also brawlers in the containers which you can release and consume for some bonus DNA. Exit the building afterward.


Next, you have to go to the Project Orion Depot. No need to go stealth here. Just destroy the communication devices and detectors. Once done, a Project Orion supersoldier will appear. You have to face him in battle. Wait for him to attack then raise your shield to perform a shield-bash right before his attack lands. After knocking him down, attack with your claws until he stands up. Keep doing this until you can finish him off.



Next, destroy all the substations. After that more Project Orion soldiers will appear. Defeat them in battle to complete the mission.



Destroying Project Orion



   




Orion Phase Two

Head to the stadium to engage and defeat the Phase Two Super Soldier. Your Bonus Objective is counter the Super Soldier's attacks using your shield at least once. Once you alerted the entire area, a key scientist will appear. Absorbing him will allow you to release two brawlers from different containers. This will provide a great distraction from you and will ease off the enemy's attention. Don't forget to finish off the brawlers yourself to get their DNA.


Project Orion Phase Two

After defeating the P2 S.Soldier, you'll unlock the Devastator ability. To unleash it, press and hold triangle and circle at the same time when the Mass gauge is full. Defeat the last batch of super soldiers and brawlers then finally chase down and consume Dr. Burk to get his memory. Escape the alert to complete the mission.





   




Natural Selection

Defeat the initial wave of choppers that Koenig sent you. Next, you have to do the same to the APCs to flush the commander out and learn Koenig's position.


Everything gets FUBAR if you mess with Heller

Escape the alert or clear the area out then head to Base Seven to find Koenig. Destroy the fuel tanks to end the lockdown. Koenig will then board an attack chopper and fight you. Destroy the chopper using your tendrils or using the rocket launchers from the dead troopers. Once that's done, you'll have to fight Koenig this time.


The trick in defeating Koenig is simple. Wait for him to attack, evade his attack then press square or triangle to counter. Continue doing this until you defeat him completely.


Don't beg; just shut up and die



   




The Airbridge

Head to the nearby base and consume a vehicle commander. Escape the alert and take care not to destroy the helicopter or the mission will end up in failure. Once you've consumed the target, step on the marker and press circle to use the airbridge. From the map, select the helipad in the Green Zone to travel there.


Exit the base and go to Father Guerra's position.



   




Green Zone - Enemies and Allies

Head back to the base and head to the mission marker. Enter the APC this time and drive your tank to the marked locations. The bonus objective just simply requires you to run over 60 infected. Head to the park and deal with the brawlers there. Next, head to the next location and destroy the hydras. Finally, drive the APC back to base to finally gain the vehicle hijacking ability.


Mowing them down



Two new missions and a Blacknet mission (Operation Keyhole) will become available. You can now use the Airbridge to fly between the zones to collect any collectibles you left or missions you haven't finished yet.

After finishing the mission, there are two soldiers nearby with an optional upgrade and blacknet memory (Operation Keyhole: Stronghold 7-H) Consume them first.


 



   




A Stranger Among Us

Go to the mission marker to start the mission objective. Stealth consume a marked extraction soldier without entering alert status. Send your hunting pulses then consume those targets colored white. (Means they're not being watched)


After consuming one of the extraction soldiers, follow the squad to Roland's position. You have to use your guns to take out the infected along the way. Just pick up new ones if you need fresh ammo.


Pick up a grenade launcher on the ground. As bonus objective, you need to kill at least 3 infected with one shot. There are many grenade launchers lying around so you don't have to worry about ammo. Take out the infected and the brawler. After that, follow the squad then pick up the rocket launcher when prompted. A hydra will appear shortly so take care not to get damaged too much since you can't absorb civilians to restore your HP. Regeneration is a very helpful skill to have in this mission. Use your heavy weapons to destroy it.


After destroying the hydra, two brawlers and a wave of infected will appear. This is the best chance to complete the bonus objective as they're clumped together. Use the grenade or rocket launcher to kill several of them at the same time.

Continue following the squad leader and pick up the heavy weapons, (preferably the rocket pods so you can fire several rockets rapidly) lying nearby as you'll need it to defeat the hydras and brawlers. After taking them out, go to the extraction point to start the next part of the mission. You can now remove your disguise and kill all the scientists to flush out Roland. Attack Roland and after escaping, the mission will be now complete.


Note: You must complete the White Light before doing A Nest of Vipers as this mission will disappear after that.



   




The White Light

Hunt Commander Gallegher and attempt to consume him. Chase him until you automatically reach him.


Next, defeat him in battle. The same tactic applies; evade his attacks and counterattack. Be careful of his tornado attack as it does serious damage.


Time to do some real damage

You'll obtain the Blade Ability after this. Kill the remaining enemy troops to complete the mission. A story mission (Taking the Castle) and two new Blacknet missions will be available as well. (Operation: Jack-of-all-Trades and Operation: Red Glacier)



   




Taking the Castle

Find a Blackwatch Trooper and consume him to get his form. Next, head to the mission marker next. After the scene, head to Gentek's R&D office. Step on the mission marker to update your mission. Head to the top of the building and consume the scientists, including some high-DNA targets.


After that, you have to hijack one of Riley's tanks and use it to destroy at least one of his other marked tanks to complete the bonus objective. Continue destroying the marked tanks until you flush Riley out. Consume him then escape the alert to complete the mission.


Not if he thinks I am you

A new story mission and Blacknet mission will become available after this mission. (Operation: Vivid Future)



   




A Maze of Blood

Head to the mission marker and hunt the bio-bomber. Once you found him, grab and fight him to acquire the Bio-bomb ability. Head to the next mission marker then hunt Archer's next contact.


Bio-bomber alert

Once you found the contact, plant a bio-bomb to a commander as instructed and your real target will reveal himself. For your bonus objective, grab one of the soldiers, plant a bio-bomb, target the evolved and throw it at him. The bonus objective will be completed once the bio-bomb detonates on him and he's in the center of the tendrils.



Bio-bombing like a boss

Next, hunt Dr. Gutierrez. Defeat him and other two evolved then consume him to get his memory. Escape the alert to complete the mission.




   




Alpha Wolf

Head to the mission marker inside the depot. Next, consume the marked scientist so you can infiltrate the facility. For your bonus objective, sneak and plant two stealth bio-bombs to any unwary soldiers. Once you're done with the bonus objective, wreck the place and destroy the chemical storage tanks. Make sure that you stay in your masked form to avoid breathing the deadly fumes.


Once done, Archer will reveal her Evolved form. It is now safe to return to your normal form and fight her. She will call forth 2 brawlers first then 4. Use your Devastator attack to take them out simultaenously. Otherwise, you have to evade and attack with your blade to kill them quickly. After getting rid of her brawlers, defeat her to obtain the Pack Leader ability.


The Alpha of the Pack

Summon your brawler pack and follow the tutorial on how to use them. Leave the base to complete the mission.



   




A Nest of Vipers

Head to the mission marker and defeat the hydra so you can enter the lair. You can hijack one of the nearby tanks to quickly destroy the hydra or use heavy weapons to do it yourself. Once killed, enter the lair.


Inside, find Roland. Next, you have to defeat the juggernaut to learn its Hammerfist skill. There will be brawlers joining the fray so be careful. Your tendrils should be especially effective against the juggernaut. After learning the Hammerfist, destroy 30 infected using it to complete the bonus objective. Exit the lair next.


Once outside, kill all enemies as instructed then destroy the tanks using hammerfist attacks to complete the bonus objective. Finally, you'll be facing Roland himself. Remember to dodge often and use counterattacks after evading to kill him quickly. Your hammerfist's charged attack is powerful enough to push him back and deal a bit of damage as well. Your shield will be complete after defeating him. Escape the alert to complete the mission.


Check out my new trick



   




Fall From Grace

After the scenes, defeat the evolved soldiers to complete the bonus objective, summon your brawler pack to help you with the battle. Head to the whitelight depot mission marker for a scene. You need to defeat the Goliath next. Just evade it and attack the marked parts of its body whenever you have the chance. You should have plenty of abilities to your disposal now; use it to your advantage.


The Alpha of the Pack

After defeating the goliath, escape the alert to get your mission update. Head to Father Guerra's location next. The mission is completed after the scene.

Red Zone - Predator and Prey

Head to the park where the telemetry truck is located. Defend it against waves of infected. For the bonus objective, you have to look out for the prompt to use triangle to shoot down thrown projectiles heading towards you. Do it twice to complete the bonus objective. Keep shooting them down until a goliath appears. Land on the blue marker to pick up the engineer.


Helos to the rescue

Fly to the Base Hotel Two Seven next and land on the helipad. After learning Dana's location, head there to warn her. Land the chopper there and disembark to complete the mission. You'll also obtain the helicopter hijacking ability now.



   




Burned from Memory

Before heading to meet with Dana Mercer, I suggest collecting the last batch of collectibles in this area. Refer to the Blackboxes and Field Ops / Lairs sections of the guide to learn their exact locations and bonuses they provide. There's also a lot of upgrade carriers here so you can roam the area using a chopper if you want. Once ready, head to Dana's meet up point to continue with the story.

Head to the blackwatch hot zone when ready. You need to pick up the whitelight barrel and throw it in the incinerator. Kill the remaining brawlers in the area afterward.


In this part of the mission, you have to do the same thing with the scattered barrels away from the base. You have to pick them up one by one then throw them in the incinerator to destroy them. As a bonus objective, you can summon a Brawler pack to assist you. Leave the base area and lose the Alert to complete the mission.


Brawler Pack

This mission unlocks the story mission (Last Resort) and Blacknet mission Operation: Spotted Cat



   




Last Resort

Next, head to Cantrell's base. As a bonus objective, you have to destroy the fuel storage tanks using explosive weapons. You can just pick up a grenade or rocket launcher to destroy the fuel tanks. After that, kill all troopers to update the mission.


After the scene, head to the crash site. Defend the crashed chopper from brawlers and a juggernaut until the mission updates. Another Evolved will appear. Defeat her to get the Whipfist ability.


For the bonus objective, you simply need to kill 20 infected using the Whipfist. Just ignore the choppers for now and start whipping like crazy. Once you get the bonus EP, destroy the rescue helicopters.


Now this makes things easy

You once the commander is out, target him then press circle to pull him towards you. Consume him to get his memory and complete the mission.

This also unlocks two story missions: Fly in the Ointment and Divine Intervention. Three \\Blacknet missions will be available as well. (Operation Long Horizon, Stun Circuit and Clockwork)



   




Divine Intervention

Hunt and consume Agent Griffin to discovery Maya's location. Follow the helicopter until the VIP arrives. After the scene, chase the Evolved until you get to fight them.


For the bonus objective, you have to defeat the Evolved in 6 different ways. Switch between your powers to until you defeat them. Consume Agent Griffin to complete the mission.

Unlocks “Lost in the System” mission.



   




Fly in the Ointment

Hunt the target then board the attack helicopter when ready. Escort the commander's chopper and kill the flyers. When you get the order, head back to the base and assist in defending it. Next, you need to escort the tank and destroy any marked infected that will attack it. Keep doing this until you reach the next base. Land the chopper for the next part of this mission.


The knack to blow things up

Consume all the commanders amidst the commotion. Escape the base and lose your Alert status to complete the mission.

Unlocks “Operation Firehawk” mission.



   




Lost in the System

Head to the base to get the intel from Rooks. Once done, proceed to Base India Niner Six. Head to the entrance. Just move quickly to avoid getting detected by the nearby viral detector. Once inside, you have to stay out of Alert to complete the bonus objective. Enter the target's room then consume him afterward.


Exit the base next, then you have to defeat the goliath. If you want to score the bonus objective, you have to prevent yourself from taking any damage from it. This can be a little tricky as there's a lot of factors involved that can make you fail the bonus objective. Clear any remaining marked infected then exit your Alert status. Head to the landing pad next.


After the scene, you have to defeat and consume all Evolved to proceed with the story. A well-placed LV3 Devastator should be enough to fatally wound them and be ready for consumption. Mission will be completed afterward.



   




Operation Firehawk

Go to the staging area. For the bonus objective, you have to hijack a Thermobaric helicopter. Simply pilot of the parked helicopters and use the same helicopter to wreck the others. Proceed to the park and destroy the marked targets. Once done, head to the mission marker to meet up with Galloway.


Putting the Firehawk down



   




A Labor of Love

Head to the base and hit the heavily reinforced door with the hammerfist. After that scene, defend the juggernaut pack as the smash the door open. Protect them by defeating all enemy forces. An upgraded whipfist should be able to easily take out the opposition. Once open, enter the base to complete the mission.


A labor of love

Hunt and consume Dr. Lawrence Foster. You'll find him on a rooftop surrounded by three brawlers. If you attempt to consume him, he will turn out to be another Evolved. Defeat him and the three brawlers (a Devastator in the middle of them should do the trick) then consume him to update this objective.  Go to Base Hotel Two Seven next.

Once there, the base will be swarming with infected. Just waltz right in. For the bonus objective, you have to reach the Commander without raising an alert. There's also a soldier with a Blacknet memory you can consume nearby. (Sgt. Vernon Mcnabb)


There are also high DNA targets here so time your stealth consumes to maximize your EP gain. You can stealth kill some of the doctors and soldiers to lessen the attention or just plant a bio-bomb to an unlucky soul to divert their attention. Consume the key target once ready. The bonus objective will be completed once you open the next door using the scanner.


Next, you can now go loud and grab the commander. He's an Evolved so you have to defeat him first to update the mission. Exit the base afterward.

Once outside, you'll have a new bonus objective. You have to kill 8 troopers who saw you. Just stay put for now and kill them all to get this objective. Lose your Alert status to complete the mission.




Operation: Stun Circuit
Available: After completing Last Resort
Reward: Predator Mutation


Cargo Delivery 25-D
Hunt and consume Lt. Garrison Pugh. Like before, you have to collect all the packages while evading heavy enemy fire. You should be upgraded at this point so you can just ignore the small arms fire. Raising your shield will slow you down so try evading incoming enemy missiles using your air dash. After collecting the last package, escape the alert to complete this objective.


Running through Hell and back... again

 

Suppression 13-C
You need to find and consume Sgt. Vernon Mcnabb. After getting the mission update, find the three marked tanks and destroy them to smoke out Commander Collins. Attempt to consume him to reveal his identity as an Evolved then chase him down. Next, destroy the helicopter he hijacked so you can fight him.


For the bonus objective, you have to defeat Collins using Claws and Hammerfist. Change your power assignment then fight him as you normally do against the Evolved. Defeat him to complete the objective.


Who's the obsolete one now, b*tch?

 


Operation: Clockwork
Available: After completing Last Resort
Reward: Offensive Mutation


Gentek Support 15-G

Find and consume Dr. Alexander Murray. Hijack the helicopter to kidnap and consume the Gentek VIPs. Clear out the infected flyers above the first scientist, then pick him up. Find the second scientist and defeat all enemies before picking him up. The third scientist is the same though to complete the bonus objective, you have to defeat the two hydras without taking any damage.

This is a bit tricky since there are flyers as well. Just move away from the heat of the battle and take the flyers out first. The hydras do move underground and will lob debris or cars at you. Keep an eye to your defend button (triangle) Once you see it, press it immediately. Take note that if the two hydras throw heavy debris at you, your defense system might not be that quick enough to react. When that happens, evade like crazy.

After rescuing all scientists, fly back to the base and attempt to land. Once you get the prompt, fly to the maximum altitude then bail out be holding the circle button. This objective will be complete afterward.


I should get a medal for this

 

Infected Salvage 8-D

Find and consume Cpl Kevin Duke. Head to the containment site next. You have to defeat the Goliath again to complete this objective.


...this, I gotta see.

 

Infected Salvage 8-A
Find and consume Elwood Pine. Head to the base and find the commander. Consume him to get access inside. Once inside, find the console and release the brawlers to kill them. For your bonus objective, you have to consume five of them.  Claws will work very well against brawlers while the charged attack from hammerfists will work wonders against the pesky juggernauts. Exit the facility once done.
