Muddy Grounds

The Muddy Grounds sweep while Cathedral waits: Crystal White and its newspaper, the 'Elm' Windmill, three Nightrunner Trials, the Wharf Water Tower to the Survivors, Silencio, the district's six murals and Metro: King William Bridge, ending at the bridge to Saint Paul Island.

Juan has asked you to go to Saint Paul Cathedral, but the quest waits. First sweep Muddy Grounds, the low district between The Wharf, New Dawn Park and Saint Paul Island. You have the Paraglider, the UV Flashlight and the GRE key; the Grappling Hook comes later, in Broadcast. The loop starts at the Fish Eye (Metro: Newalls Crossing is right under it), takes in a side quest whose giver lives just across the Garrison border, then runs from the 'Elm' Windmill east to the Wharf Water Tower, back through the centre and south to Metro: King William Bridge. The tower goes to the Survivors, like every facility in this run. The section ends at the bridge to Saint Paul Island, where the Cathedral and the island sweep pick up. Keep your Inhibitors unspent.

Nightrunner Trial VIIIAchievement
Location
Central Loop · Muddy Grounds – Its board stands near the Fish Eye, beside a Nightrunner's Hideout; it may instead be inside Muddy Grounds, so let the trial's name on the board decide. Start it at the board and pass every gate in order. The long gaps need well-timed Dart moves and long jumps, and the Paraglider.
Requires
Summary
One of the 10 Nightrunner Trials for True Nightrunner; a Bronze medal or better is enough. A short course with checkpoints far apart.

Crystal White: Pierre's smokehouseHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMinor spoiler
Location
Central Loop · Muddy Grounds – Pierre is at the smokehouse settlement in Garrison, west of the 'Hickory' Windmill and south of the Fish Eye. He sends you to a military building, a dark hollow in south-west Muddy Grounds just north of Culvert Island. Inside, crouch through the hole in the wall and take the door on the right to the first Renegades; then jump into the lift shaft, climb to the floors above and kill the rest (six in all). The room opposite the lift shaft then opens: talk to Pierre's son. Either answer to Pierre ends the quest the same way.
Requires
Summary
A side quest that clears a Renegade-held hideout. No trophy counts it, but a newspaper Memento in that hideout sits in a room that only opens once it is done.

Windmill: ElmArea
Location
Central Loop · Muddy Grounds – North-east of the hollow, at the heart of Muddy Grounds, a little east of the Fish Eye. Clear the infected at its foot first, or the switch at the top won't work. Then go to the roof air vents north-west of it, stand on the vent second furthest from the windmill, open the Paraglider and glide over the vent nearest the windmill: its updraft lifts you to the boards. Go right and up the ladder to the switch.
Requires
Summary
One of the 17 windmills for Don Quixote, and a save point with UV light. It also opens Muddy Grounds' settlements, and Silencio needs it.

The Wharf Water Tower goes to the Survivors

Turning the valve asks which faction gets the tower, and Muddy Grounds with it. Pick the Survivors. The choice is permanent; Boot Licker needs all 7 facilities given to one faction, so one facility to the Peacekeepers loses it on this save. The Survivor side also opens Silencio, whose reward is a Memento the Archivist trophy needs. Take the tape at the top before you turn the valve.

Tape: Tourism Office of Villedor – Villedor's CastleCollectible
Location
Central Loop · Muddy Grounds – The tower stands on the east edge of Muddy Grounds, where it meets Saint Paul Island. Get into its yard over the west wall (or glide in), go to the yard's south edge and through the green container into the tower. Climb the yellow rings, jump to the bridges marked with yellow tarp, take the ladders, monkey bars and the two ropes up, then go out of a window to a lone rope: swing, and let go at the top of the swing to land on the top floor (the hardest jump). The tape is beside the big valve.

Summary
One of the 63 Tapes the Audiophile trophy counts. It is at the top of the Wharf Water Tower; take it before you assign the tower.

About this guide

Two runs on any difficulty. Run 1 plays the whole story with every collectible, gives all seven facilities to the Survivors and ends with one ending; a save backup made outside the game at the last door before the finale lets you watch a second ending by replaying only the last two quests, not the whole game. After the credits the city stays open for cleanup and Bloody Ties. Run 2 is New Game+ on the other faction's path for the third ending. The game has no manual saves, so the backup steps say how to copy your save on each platform; without them, each extra ending needs another New Game+ run. Two trophies need other players.
