P12: Protocol 10

Protocol 10

Hacking the Chopper

This is actually a very short section because all that you need to do is glide around and latch on to the skids of choppers and scan them until you find the one with the Master Code in it, at which point you hit 'X' to download the code.  You can now hack TYGER consoles mates!  Good on ya!

Obtaining the Master Code

Sadly with the massive missile attacks being launched against the city you really do not have the time to go around hacking the TYGER consoles that we know about, so forget that for now... 

Once you have the Master Code try to find a chopper headed in the direction of the Processing Center so that you do not have to face missiles and being attacked by any chopper that sees you -- oh yes, they have a Kill On Sight order on you mate.  When you get close to the Processing Center be very careful, there are snipers deployed there waiting for you!

The Processing Center

The Approach to the Processing Center is guarded by Snipers as well as thugs on the ground and inside, so you need to be very careful as you approach -- there is no point in being killed by the snipers right?  Once you identify their locations you will want to either flank them and do silent takedowns or disable their weapons first -- it is your call!

With the two snipers incap'd you can now hack the TYGER Console that is at the door behind where they were standing.  Go inside and follow the hall down to the gate and use the REC to open that.  Inside you will need to drop down a level and use the REC again on another gate, and then approach the door at the far end of this hallway. 

Use Detective Vision to scope out the enemies on the other side of the door, then go through ninja-style and look for a place to roost!

Below you are three guards -- an armed one and two with stun sticks.  Take out the one with the gun and then you are instructed to deal with the stun sticks by using an 'A' 'A' 'X' attack which basically is a dodge over their heads and an attack.

-- The Processing Center Guard Battle --

Strange calls you over to the video screen to talk to you but while your are paying attention to him, a large number of mixed guards gather around you -- it is Battle Royale time Batman -- but be aware that more guards -- including an armored one and some stun guards -- will join the battle as it progresses!  Just keep moving and do not let more than one get near you at a time and you will be fine.  Do a lot of dodge attacks both so you get used to the move and because it will work on most of them really well!

Getting Through the Processing Center Guard Battle

When the battle begins you are facing a mixture of regular guards who will throw thins at you including a gas canister tha twill explode -- avoid that right?  There is a shield-guard and, when the fight is in mid-progress, an armored guard comes into it on the lift.  The thing about this is that they are basically going to use a variation of the spoiler buddy system you faced in the Joker Boss Battle, except these guys are actually better at it than Joker's thugs were!  Probably because they are professional guards not amateur thugs... 

It is critical that you take out the regular guards as quick as you can, but you need to listen for the sound of one of them racking the action on a gun, because there is a gun in this room, and each of them will pick it up if they have the chance.  Any time you hear that action being racked you need to locate the person holding the gun and disarm them!

Yes, I know this is a very complicated fight, but you can do it, it just might take you a few tries is all...  If you get stuck watch the video above -- while I do make some mistakes -- I was wicked tired  when I did this level and fight -- the tactics that I used work.

With this battle over look around in Detective Vision to spot the TYGER Console - hack that to open the lift door, go inside and look up to spot a Trophy - Batclaw that sucker and add it to your collection!  Now go outside and look for the ledge - jump up and look for the demo-wall  across from you -- now Line-Launcher over and blow the wall, then go inside and claim your Trophy!

There is a manhole cover on the floor in this area -- find it and go down it.

The Wonder Tower Foundations

After you drop down the manhole cover follow the tunnel about 20 feet and drop down the hole to the bottom and you will find yourself in a familiar place -- the Wonder Tower Foundations!  Go to the opening and look to the south - load your Line-Launcher and launch and then immediately look to the northeast corner where there is a narrow ledge and change direction landing on that ledge!  There is a Trophy here -- take it.

Use the Line-Launcher to go south from here and immediately look left, and change direction to that room before you hit the steel grate and fall!  in this room you will see a switch on the ceiling with a demo floor below it -- blow the floor, drop down and then Batarang the switch and pick up the trophy here that you unlock!

Foundation Predator Battle

With the Trophy in hand head through the door here and talk to Nurse Fiona Wilson -- she reports to you what has been happening.  The guards in the next room are part of a Predator Room, but we have been here before and we know what the best tactics are for dealing with them don't we!

Find a safe perch on a gargoyle and remember NOT to move when they are scanning for heat signatures!  There are snipers here so your first priority should be taking them out any way you can!  Once they are down, start picking off the guards one at a time.

They are really not that tough -- nowhere near what we faced in that battle in the Processing Center before!  In fact this sort of battle I can take all day bloody long!  You should quickly make short work of them -- if you run into trouble use the tactics I used in the video and you can take them down one-two-three!

With all of the guards taken care of glide down to the lift and hack the TYGER Console and go in!

The Wonder Tower

Inside the lift is another console for you to hack - and then the lift starts rising.  If you look up there is a hole in the top of the lift.  In my experience they don't put things like that in places like that unless you are meant to use them, so perhaps you should RB up on top of the lift before it arrives? 

When the lift arrives there is a ledge you can walk out onto and so you should because there are guards below you and, when they open the lift doors they are going to light the place up in full-auto mode!  Now aren't you glad you used the hole?  I know I am!

But alas even though they missed their chance to kill us we still have to take THEM out, so hop on down and do that now!

Climbing up the Outside of the Tower

After you take them out hack the TYGER Console to open the gate and then climb up and drop down to grab the edge and shimmy around to the back of the Tower where there is a small platform.  RB up from there and then jump a gap and walk around the outer edge to the opposite side and RB up to the weather sensor mast.  You have a conversations with Oracle so stand still for that, and then RB to the right and right again and up into an access port in the Tower!

One level below you is a landing - drop to that and then head outside onto the pole and then onto the cable here, and RB up twice to find yourself in another access port. Inside this area is a TYGER Console that opens a gate above when you hack it -- RB up to the now open gate above you and then walk clockwise around the outer walkway of this area -- which is the Security Control Center.  At the end of the walkway is an open duct.

The Observation Deck

You have two options -- go to the right, around to where a vent cover blocks your path.  Kick that out and drop down onto the catwalk below, then continue clockwise to where the gargoyles ring the outer area.  Inside are a bunch of well-armed guards though, and you are pretty much dedicating yourself to taking them on head to head this way...

An alternative is to go to the left and into the room with them in a short floor duct run, and then patiently wait for them to come close enough to do takedowns on them!  You should be able to get half of them by doing pop-out takedowns if you are patient, then you can use the duct as a base and nail the rest when the wander close enough!  That is how I did it, and it worked great.  Of course I would not want Batgirl knowing I did it this way but still...

Things Get Really Strange

After you take out the final guard hack the door and pound the snot out of Strange, shut down the Protocol 10 machines, and then get the CS that resolves the entire story...  I am not going to reveal the end here because there are gamers who cannot help themselves but read the last section first LOL.

Not only am I not going to write about it, it is not in the video either...

So were you thinking it was over?  Did you forget about Joker?  Yeah you did didn't you?!  Well, you still have to deal with him so let's go do that now!
