Mission 15: Sabotage at Soulforge

This is it: the final mission. Spend any gold you have on water arrows, frogbeast eggs, vine arrows, and invisibility potions. Then, get ready to put an end to Karras' plans. While in Soulforge, make sure to search Viktoria's vines whenever possible - there are many vine arrows, water arrows, and frogbeast eggs to be found among them.

The Guiding Beacon
A watcher will spot you as soon as the mission begins. Karras will begin speaking to you over the loudspeakers. Follow the vines forward and through the left or right passage. Continue until you come to an open area with a podium. Turn right and head through the circular hallway. Watch for the security robot - there are some small alcoves you can hide in if necessary.

Go through the archway leading north. There's a grate on the ceiling in the next room - shoot a vine arrow at it and climb up to the ledge. Follow the ledge through the opening, then turn right and head around to the next opening. Go down the crates and through either of the doors on the opposite wall.

The plans room holds the key to building the guiding beacon - and what to do with it.
Pick the lock on the double doors and enter the plan room. There are two rooms off the main room. Go into the left room to find a frogbeast egg, then head into the other room and kill the guard. Return to the main room. Go down to the steps and take the key, papyrus, and guide beacon plans from the table. Read the papyrus and the plans.

Use the key to open the safes. You must find the regulating round plans. You can use the other plans to make some equipment if you choose.

Leave the plans room and turn left. Go through the door and into the storage rooms on the far side. Take the following items from the storage rooms: signal bolt, steel plate, gauge, and bantam node. Once you have them all, climb back up the crates and follow the ledge back to your vine. Climb down. Go through the circular area, turn left at the podium, and make your first left. Ride the elevator up to factory bay C.
