Walkthrough step-by-step
1. Get a Security Keycard
This is the same step as the previous mission, Welcome to Manhattan — it completes upon picking up the Level 1 Keycard in the Field Office.
2. Reach the Evacuation Zone
Take the road southeast from the Central Supply Route Station where you entered Central to reach the Evacuation Zone. This second quest starts automatically when you speak with Zoe at the Watchtower during Welcome to Manhattan. After the Evac Site was overrun, Hiss tremors began coming from the building — Dylan needs to find out what is happening.
3. Find the Source of the Tremors
On entering the area, go southeast toward the building with the large red Hiss cone rising from its top. To enter the Evac Building, destroy 3 Hiss orbs spread around the area — find them by following objects floating along the red trail toward the building entrance.
- Orb 1: in the center of the area, in front of the building.
- Orb 2: southwest of the Evac Building — in the alley south of the street corner, a large enemy group including two healing orbs should be handled first; then the red line leads into a closed door, so use the map-marked Power Core Station's charge on the rooftop box to enter the garage and destroy the orb.
- Orb 3: north of the Evac Building, near a group of shielded floating enemies — defeat them, then jump up from the nearby rooftop to reach the orb.
With all three orbs destroyed, return to the Evac Building and enter through the front door. Inside, take the left elevator to the 12th floor. Follow the only path into a large open room and defeat the enemies. Then go to the room's south side, to a hallway with a blue light above it, and follow the path through the scaffolding — re-entering the building, there is a Health Point Crate on the left. After a short flashback sequence, continue to a room with a Hiss orb; destroying it opens access to another elevator. Ride it to the 15th floor and follow the path onward.
4. Locate the Survivor
Run forward through the long red room during another flashback sequence, then speak with Arish at the end and run back out.
5. Get Arish Out Alive
Go back along the entry path and interact with the elevator button once Arish opens it. You get stopped and must destroy another Hiss orb. After destroying it, interact with Arish to receive the Level 2 Keycard — granting Clearance Level 2 to open the nearby door. Return to the room where you fought the Hiss and destroy the orb.
6. Escape the Building
More Hiss spawn and must be defeated; a few Clearance Level 2 doors around the room hold material crates. To leave, go back out through the hallway with the yellow light above it and call the elevator down to the Ground Floor. In the lobby, the door opposite the Customization closet is now enterable — the area's SHUM Arcade machine is inside. Leaving through the lobby finishes the mission and starts the next one immediately.
