Some Advice for John Blade

Here’s my advice for John Blade: Get a freaking wire-cutter!

One example from an early Sin Episodes Emergence level.


Wire fence blocking my route

As you can see, the fence is blocking the route. So what do you do? There’s no one in view so perhaps I’ll climb over it? Nah, there’s barbed wire. John Blade don’t do barbed wire. I know – I’ll find a way around at considerable bullet expenditure along with risk to life and limb…

Here is the totally sensible way around, as seen from a nearby lighthouse. The route disappears off the left where I entered the lighthouse and came back out upstairs.


Ridiculously long route around

But a-ha! With a wire-cutter or a blanket to defend against the nefarious barbed wire…


Super clever route made by cutting through the pesky fence

Alas, John Blade did not have the foresight to pack his trusty Leatherman. Maybe next time.
