Hostage

[Makofen]

Hey, i've got a problem. I#m pretty new and so startet a new game and by now i survived nearly all missions at Merkur. Now my question: I'm in the last mission, the first hostage-taking mission and i can't take the hostage. How can I do this, is it a bug, a special key that isn't shown in the options or what?

The hostages are inside one of the twelve holding cells. Hack all of them until you find the Hostage, and he/she will follow you towards extraction.

No special key. If the mission is rescue then you got to locate a hostage and unlock his door in prison block, then escort him to the extraction point.

If the mission is capture then you have to locate an npc, a special one in the red clothes, then beat him to death, tnen come near and press use button to "extract him" = death(at least from the screams he makes)

Be careful though, those npc you need to rescue are under heavy drugs and in bad mental condition, they tend to stop for no reason, to stuck near ladders and in tunnels. Also if you play loki or ash do not go invisible(especially on higher levels) since all the enemies will switch agro at hostage.

Playing loki though helps to avoid mental idiocy of npc by switching places with him, when he is stuck.

Also if you posses enemy radar artifact, or enemy radar card(not sure about those) then the hostage is shown on your minimap, so you do not have to hack all possible doors.

Yup, that can be awesome when pretty much all doors are "hack-able" and you don't want to spend too much time looking for him/her.
