Tips For Final(?) Mission

[fwwm]

May contain spoilers:



I am up to what I presume is the last mission. I sided with my Mentor and I am at the Temple HQ to defeat Riminah. Only it seems too hard with all the other enemies in the temple all with heavy armour and weapons, they seem to kill me before I can reach the 'eliminate' targets.
Any tips on how to advance through the temple? I have tried using cloak, but as soon as I uncloak, everyone just hones in on me.

Maybe try increasing the number of allies via psi powers and equipment(Drones/Polyclones/Turrets/Transmute Clone/etc). And/Or having a armor penetrating weapon(such weapons tend to work wonders on hard to kill enemies.) to take down tough ones. This worked wonders for me when i dealt with that area.

I just beat that mission for the second time last night, actually! This is what I did during both solo runs. Be warned, a death or two might be unavoidable, so take that into account if you're wanting a 100% no death run or something:

Gear: Domacles, at least 3 turrets, 444 OR the big sniper rifle I can't remember the name of (right of B.O.S.C.O. in the mobile armory). Choice of armor is on you: light for moving while cloaked and increased chance of escape, heavy for survivability.

Starting from where Rimanah's office is, go down the hall, cloak, and run to the Armory where Azazelis is/was. Uncloak and crouch there until you fill up, then cloak and run in, backstab the guy in the library, QUICKLY cloak again, run and hide in the Armory again. You'll be able to pull off the cloak if he's on the other side of that shelf (left one in the room).

Next one is really annoying. When the coast is clear on that bridge, run toward the main lobby area where you first met your Mentor. When you can see the next target, headshot him a few times with the 444 / sniper. You MIGHT die here because the Culters are everywhere. If you do, quickly cloak upon resurrect and go hide. If anyone has a better way of getting this guy, I'd also like to know!

Once he's dead, cloak and escape and go hide in the Armory again to recharge. Then when clear run toward toward the Medical and pass it, turn the corner and plop two turrets behind the piller to the right to protect them from the gunship. Use the 444 to kill the gunship, and the turrets can actually hold their own against the Culters that will come. You might want to drop another turret facing the bridge / medical area to cover your back and those of the other turrets.

Cloak and go to the training room to backstab the next guy. Cloak and run back behind your turrets to charge.

Use your 444 / sniper to clear the way and head to the next target. If you manage to clear the training room you have endless ammo / turrets to clear the way. Head up to the rightmost causway where the target is, cloak behind the machine thing, backstab this guy. It might help to drop a few turrets while cloaked to cover yourself from his goons. You can either clear these guys or hide and charge.

When ready, cloak (or walk, depending on threat presence) to the final area where Rimanah is waiting. Don't miss the jump! XD

There's an armoy in the cave right before the fight. Put on heavy armor and a medkit if you haven't already. The domacles is enough for this part. Swim through the submurged doorway and cloak right before you pass through it. Jump out of the water and sneak up on Rimanah and score a backstab. It won't kill him, but it's a good start. Spam him with the domacles until he dies, HEAL immediately, and try to get behind a pillar safe from bullets to cloak and retreat from the cave. Recharge, swim through, cloak again, emerge, and Domacles-spam the rest of the guys.

Finally, leave the cave / read the artifact.

Actually, it sounds like you should have Triangular Gate on this path. That PSI power will usually one-shot almost any enemy in the game, even Rimanah. So I'd cloak before entering the artifact chamber where Rimanah is, then drop him with Triangular Gate before he can cast Polycloning.

thanks for the tips, hopefully, with a few more tries, I might be able to advance

Need an extra gun?

I managed to finish the mission last night, using the heavy sniper and the triangular gate power (with a few deaths along the way). looking forward to going through the game again

I just go in heavy armor, bear killer 444 and the heavy sniper. Heavy armor lets you tank pretty much anything except explosives from the gun ship and 1-2 shots of either gun will kill anything...
