Cutting Edge – The 404 Caper
We start this mission off in Barcelona, Spain. We’ll begin with the Barcelona Cathedral.
This is a grappling hook section, so chase down the VILE thug to get a City Lead. You’ll also get a Suspect Clue.
Next up, we go to La Rambla. Here, you might know from a fact that La Rambla is known for flower kiosks. So search for the open-air flower market.
You’ll do a radio frequency puzzle here, and get a City Lead.
Our final destination in Barcelona is the National Art Museum of Catalonia.
Here, our goals are two-fold: the computer left on the white platform, and the phone lying between two benches. But first, let’s get some facts.
There’s a plaque to the far left of the area, near a painting. Check it out for your first fact.
Another plaque can be found mounted on a wall, to the left of the cross sculpture.
When you’re done, check out the phone. You’ll get a City Lead from it. Then, check out the disassembled computer on the white platform.
From bottom to top, install the PSU (big box), the GPU (oblong device), and the fan. You’ll get a Suspect Clue out of it.
Our next location is Berlin in Germany (which has gold on its flag, a chancellor, and is in Europe).
We’ll start with the Hackesche Höfe. Here, let’s pick up some facts first.
Go to the stall in the north-east of the area, where you’ll find a map of Berlin. Check it out to get a fact.
You’ll find another map plaque along the left wall of the area.
Interact with the man talking on his phone to get a City Lead. Finally, go to the very south-east of the area to find a safe behind a stall.
Crack the safe and you’ll get a Suspect Clue.
Next, head to the River Spree Museums. Here, you have to dodge lasers and solve a wiring puzzle. You’ll get a City Lead from it. Continue to do a vault door puzzle and you’ll get another City Lead.
Finally, let’s head to Brandenburg Gate. Here, the answer is the number of gates that used to be on the Customs Wall of Berlin. The answer, you might know from a fact, is 18, so answer 18 to this question. You’ll get a Suspect Clue.
Next, choose to scan Berlin’s river network, as we know from a fact that Berlin has an extensive river network around the Spree. You’ll get a City Lead from it.
Our next destination is Mexico City in Mexico, which speaks Spanish, and has the coat of arms on its flag, amongst other clues.
We’ll start off at the Palacio de Correos. Once the guard’s gone, you can enter the security room. But first, let’s explore the museum.
Go north to find an information panel. Interact with it to get a fact.
Another fact can be found to the north-west, on the plaque by the giant Olmec Head. Finally, check out the model of Tenochtitlán to the right of the Olmec Head.
When you’re done, go to the security room, where you’ll have to pick the lock first. Head on in and interact with the computer on the left here. You’ll get a City Lead.
Next up, we head to the San Andreas Míxquic. Pickpocket the VILE thug here and you’ll get a City Lead from it.
Finally, we’ll check out Guanajato Alleys. Here, claim the hacker did not steal the MareNostrum, and then point to the cyberattacks on ACME as evidence. You’ll get a Suspect Clue out of this.
Next, launch a counterattack on the VILE hacker. This will net you a City Lead.
Our next destination was Reykjavik according to the city clues we got. Issue a warrant here and use the location clue to get to the thief.
