Harriet Morse, the gas-masked zealot of Karl’s Bay, presents a unique challenge for Colt in Deathloop. Her heavily guarded hangar and love for theatrics make a direct assault risky. The best way to eliminate her is through stealth. So, how do you sneak up on Harriet in Deathloop? The key is patience, observation, and utilizing the environment to your advantage. From the entrance, stick to the left side of the hangar, navigating through the maze of shipping containers and debris. This path keeps you out of direct sight lines of the Eternalist cronies patrolling the main floor. Climb onto the higher containers to get a better view of Harriet’s movements. Once you’re deep enough on the left flank, you can either wait for her to approach the microphone, giving her a chance to be taken out or sneak to the upper level, behind her, to do a stealth execution to grab her Nexus Slab.
Mastering the Art of Stealth in Karl’s Bay
Success depends on more than just knowing the path. Here’s a breakdown of crucial elements:
-
Observation: Before making a move, take your time to scout enemy positions and patrol patterns. Utilize your spyglass (or simply your binoculars) to identify the number and movement of Eternalists within the hangar. Look for gaps in their patrols and plan your route accordingly.
-
Timing: Harriet follows a predictable routine. Pay attention to her speech and movements. She often pauses near the microphone, giving you a window of opportunity to close the distance unnoticed.
-
Environmental Awareness: The hangar is filled with crates, pipes, and other obstacles you can use for cover. Stick to the shadows and use these elements to break line of sight with the Eternalists.
-
Stealth Movement: Move slowly and deliberately. Crouching is your best friend here. Avoid sprinting unless absolutely necessary, as it significantly increases your noise profile.
-
Distractions: If needed, create distractions to draw enemies away from your path. You can toss objects to create noise or use your Hackamajig to manipulate turrets.
Bonus: Utilizing Nexus
If you’re not averse to a more direct, but still relatively stealthy, approach, the Nexus Slab is a game-changer. If you do not take the stealth approach, connect the Eternalist cronies that follow Harriet to her using Nexus, then eliminate her with a well-placed headshot to take out her squad to avoid any loud confrontations in the Hangar.
