Mission 6 Level 2: Paderborn Village

Objectives: Eliminate five key SS Paranormal operatives Gain access to Chateau Schufstaffel Ensure alarm is not sounded Click here to find this level's secrets

Paderborn, home to many of Germany's leading occultists, is currently hosting the elite of the SS Paranormal Division. As learned in recently decoded SS transmissions, Marianna Blavatsky will perform a ritual termed "Anointing of the Dark Knights". The ceremony is scheduled to take place somewhere near Chateau Schufstaffel. Resistance Intelligence tells us the only viable route into the chateau is through the village, as it is the least guarded path. However, there is a general alarm somewhere in the village near the chateau. If the alarm is raised there will be no chance of getting inside.

You must, therefore, proceed through the village as quietly as possible, using your silenced weapons. Also, with the "Anointing Ceremony" about to take place at the chateau, there are five key SS Paranormal Operatives residing in the Village. This presents a unique opportunity to deliver a crippling blow to the SS Paranormal's chain of command. Therefore, these SS Operatives must be eliminated before proceeding.

This is a tricky level. You have to sneak through Paderborn village and assassinate five of Himmler's most notorious generals. What's worse, you have to do it without allowing any guards to set off alarms. That means that if you're spotted, you've got to quickly eliminate the witness before he can sound an alarm. Use your binoculars to good effect here, and don't be afraid to spend a few of you Garand rifle rounds --this is one of the last levels where they'll be really useful. Walk forward until you come to an area with an automobile on your right. There is a guard past the car, patrolling a ledge. If you have a Garand round, this is a good time to use it. If not, you'll have to sneak up on the guard until you're close enough to use your silenced Luger or your Sten.

Once the guard is dead, ascend the stairs and go straight ahead through the archway. There will be a door on your left. Open it (with the use key, not the kick!) and kill the guards inside with the Sten. They'll have their backs to you while they warm themselves at the fire, so you'll have a pretty good shot. Once the guards are down, creep up the stairs. In a room at the top of the stairs you will find Major Hochstedder. My favorite way to take him out is to creep up behind him while he's perusing the bookshelf and knife him in the back. But do whatever works for you.

Once back outside, turn right and walk a few steps until you see another archway on your right. Go through and follow the alley down a set of outside stairs. At the bottom of the stairs you will be attacked by a sniper up in a building straight across from you. Take him out quickly if you dont't want an alarm thrown.

After the sniper is down, walk along the street. Just around the corner you will encounter a guard underneath a large "Hotel" sign. Kill him quickly, then walk forward a bit and take the short flight of stairs on your left into a hotel. Eavedrop on the conversation if you want, then creep up the stairs and take out the guards in the room on the right. Finish their meal and grab their weaponry, then continue up the stairs. You will find General von Stauff at the top, playing with a record player. Kill him silently, clean out the rest of the building, then exit.

Walk up the street and around the curve. You'll have to eliminate another guard up on a ledge to the left, then jump up into the house to take out Colonel Strache. Exit the small building he used to occupy, but be careful. There is a soldier on the other side of the gate straight ahead that can easily spot you.

Quickly run to the archway over on your right and go up to it. Don't go all the way through, as you will happen upon your next target complaining about a missing bottle of wine. He is, however, up on a balcony where you can't get to him without tripping an alarm. Walk forward and to the left, then go down the short staircase. At the base of the stairs, behind a tree, you will find the entrance to the wine cellar.

Go through the door and take out the guard looking for his master's missing bottle. Make your way through the wine cellar and up into the main building. You'll have to go outside, then come back in a different doorway to get to General Burkhalter, taking down a few guards along the way.

Clear out the building of any health, ammo, and armor, then exit. Kill the guard in the courtyard to your right, then go down. Turn immediately to your right and take the short flight of stairs up to another small building. Catch General Haupman behind his desk and gun him down. Go back up the short stairs where you came out of GeneralBurkhalter's house, then continue straight ahead to the opposite courtyard. Kill any guards in the area, then proceed through the narrow archway to the Chataeu grounds beyond. Turn to your right, kill the guard, and then find the stiarway leading down into the basement and exiting the level.
