Venetian Missile Crisis (Templar)
Rocket Launcher Auxiliary Weapon Quest
Digging Deeper Content
The Venetian Missile Crisis was added in patch 1.2, Digging Deeper. This quest unlocks the Auxiliary weapon kit: Rocket Launcher. Templar’s can start this quest by visiting Richard Sonnac’s office at the Templar HQ. You will find the quest on a desk right behind Richard.
Venetian Missile Crisis Step 1: Go tot he Council of Venice portal in London
You find the portal at 165, 368 near the bank. The quest updates to “Use the portal.”
Venetian Missile Crisis Step 2: ”Investigate the facility.”
From there the quest updates to “Defeat the guards.” After a few rounds of guards you face a Mercenary Veteran lieutenant. Defeating him updates the quest
Venetian Missile Crisis Step 3: “Enter the first warehouse.”
The warehouse is guarded. The guards consist of a number of static pairs with a few roamers. Move carefully and everything will be fine. It is very easy to get caught in cross-fire in this instance, be certain to control where and how fights play out if you are lightly geared. I found the schematic sheets on the top level of the warehouse sitting amidst a pair of guards at 294, 200.
Venetian Missile Crisis Step 4: Enter the second warehouse
The schematics are for a Manticore rocket launcher. Manticore is a division of Orochi, which makes the entire quest and the interaction with the Council a bit interesting. Aren’t the Orochi clearly the bad guys at the end of Mortal Sins? Why…
As you move towards the second warehouse, you will notice a targeting reticle above your head. Playing through any of the Besieged Farmlands storylines may make you familiar with this: SNIPERS. You begin taking copious amounts of damage until you can break the LOS for the sniper. When in doubt, dart back into the first warehouse for cover.
You trigger the targeting any time you step into lights. The fire is coming from a watchtower on your left, but you are unable to get up into it and address the guards on a more personal level. The best thing to do is sneak about and stay in the dark.
I found the update clipboard on the second level of the warehouse on the right hand passage as you enter at location 225, 275.
Venetian Missile Crisis Step 5: Enter the third warehouse
Once again, be ready for the missile sniper highway. Use the various trash cans and crates to conceal as much of your movement as possible. Kill off pairs of guards while making sure you aren’t missile launcher fodder. This will be particularly hard with the last set of guards as they sit out in a very exposed position. I pulled them back to the warehouse to kill them (but I’m melee, ranged players probably have less difficulty here).
The third warehouse, along the right passage will eventually take you to a boss barrier (the blue barriers anyone who dungeon’s … Continue reading
