Can't Get Past Electricity Pylon - Please Help

[Philleas]

I'm in the mission The Royal Physician and I can't get past that huge electricity pylon that zaps you. I watched an IGN walkthough and they Blinked from high up on a building to the top of the flag, but my blink won't reach that far! So whenever I blink from high up on the building I just fall to my death and the the thing electrocutes me if I try to run past it. Please help. I'm really stuck on this. Thanks!

I apologise about the commentary but i found a video with an alternate route going through the Bottle Gang side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Q49Lt8KM4#t=923 skip to about 15 mins

There's a little guard bunker next to it. Crouch on the far side and it won't have the range to hit you. There's another bunker on the other side of the area, and if all else fails you can always jump into the water.

To avoid getting "stuck' in later situations, remember that there are almost always multiple ways past obstacles. For example, in this one, you have two routes around the pylon that don't require upgraded Blink. It often helps if you can gain a high vantage point and study the area and the guards patrolling it.

Hahaha, yup, that's how awesome it is, you can choose which way to go but yeah, just look at the sides (and you can also follow the wire to desactivate the pylon or get a new powerhouse friend).

I love having multiple paths and solutions, in addition to playing violent or passive. Lots of options!

Two main options, although there are many alternatives and twists you can do. First is throwing a grenade from the half-boarded window of the room with the dead poker players in it. Land it near the guardhouse and everyone will come running out to see what's going on. This will ALSO trigger the two thugs below you to your right to run out and start fighting. As they're killing each other, move as quickly as possible out the back window, go down the stairs and make your way along the docks until you're just below the arc pylon and near the boats. Go up the stairway there, and reprogram the pylon using the panel and your rewiring tools. Mass bloodsheed will begin as the guards return to their post and start getting wiped out by their own pylon. If you're going for nonlethal, climb up next to the panel, look towards the big bunker overlooking the water, and get a running start to do a double jump (providing that you have agility upgraded) onto the catwalk. You'll be far enough away that the pylon won't hurt you and you can quickly move onto the top of the barracks and keep going. Just watch out for the other pylon that's to your right.
