This is the first area you'll explore and consists of three missions you need to complete. This is where you'll learn to hone your skills as the Wolverine.

1. Get into the compound.
2. Reach the prison cell.
3. Defeat the boss.

Back in Action

• Clear out the ground forces defending the AA Gun.
• Follow the combat tutorial prompts while pressing forward to reach the AA Gun.
• Once you reach the AA Gun, interact with it and follow the prompts to destroy it.
• Hunt the Guards.
• Stay low in the grass, press forwards and use stealth takedowns with Square to take out the guards.
• Scale the cliff
• Once Sabretooth arrives, deal with the guards and then head to the rear of the battle area where he’s standing. Use your Claws to cut through the foliage and follow Sabretooth.
• Defeat the Reavers
• Battle onwards into the compound to look for Essex. Reaver enemies have blades for hands, they can perform combo attacks that will need to be parried more than once to be staggered. Timing is key.
• Find a way over the wall
• Face the main door and head to the left to find half a tree in front of a tower post. Jump up the tree and climb up into the guard tower behind.
• Enter the fake city

Struggle with being stealthy? An extra tip from Marie

Stealth is optional throughout Wolverine. So, if you struggle with being quiet and moving without being caught, you won't be punished for going in claws-blazing.

A Debt Repaid

• Find a way into the compound.
• Use your enhanced sense of smell to follow the blue scent trail.
• Follow Mystique to the lab.
• Take out the mutant inhibitors
• Do not attempt to fight the Reavers first, dodge their attacks and take out the mutant inhibitors in all four corners of the small room. Once you’ve taken the inhibitors out, then you can start to battle the Reavers. If you try it before, it’s very likely you’ll get overwhelmed by enemies.
• Follow Trask's Trail.
• Defeat the Reavers.
• Get to the Prison.
• Fight your way to Essex's cell.
• You need to use your kick when the enemy pulls the shield in front of them but dodge the incoming red power attacks.
• Eliminate the Reavers guarding the cell.
• When you get close to his cell, take out the mutant inhibitors lining the hallway.
• Escape the prison.

Last Meal
