Far Mountain Reaches is a mandatory story mission in Episode 2 starring James.
Mission Summary[]
A secret data processing facility in Switzerland suddenly went dark. No way it's just an accident, and footage seems to confirm a cultists presence in the area. They may be covering some information. James must take them out and infiltrate the facility.
Gameplay[]
Far Mountain Reaches
Proceed through the caves and cliffs northwest. Kill any cultist standing in your way. Eventually you'll come upon a castle on the cliff. There is a small house not far from the castle. Inside you can find a silver key. Use that key to open the doors of the castle. Go down to the basement, the entrance to which is located in the center of the castle. Take out some converted, then pick up the red access keycard and some supplies is in the left hallway. After going through the red door, go to the control room and hit the switch next to the security monitor (this will open the door on the bottom of the pit outside and also spawn two Cybertours). Backtrack to outside of the castle and head down the cliff using a ladder near the open fence. Go into the cave. Keep going straight to the elevator.
Dark Truths
You have finally reached the data processing facility. Head straight through. When you reach the second room with big green boxes (and a large yellow door), go into the security room up the stairs. There's a red keycard in there. Backtrack to the beginning area and open the red door. Make your way through the long corridors, eliminate all converted soldiers and demons you meet on your way. Take the elevator, continue moving forvard. Eventually, through the large energy room, you will come to the control room with a large window. Here you can find a yellow key, as well some supplies including body armour and a missile launcher. Now head back. In the large room you will be ambushed by the demons. Take them out. Suddenly, the room exit will be blocked by the magical forcefield, and you'll be forced to fight the Dark Avatar. After the fight, backtrack to the room with the green and grey boxes and open the yellow door. Work you way through the long passageways up to the surface where the AMC ship will be waiting for you.
