Location: Snezhnograd
Prerequisites: Obtain the Eye of Graeae in the Archon Quest “Everwinter Without Mercy”
Duration: ~1.5 hours
Achievement: Above the High Table
Near Zolnyy in Snezhnograd, you witness members of a Snezhnayan gang oppressing a little girl. Get involved in gang warfare in the World Quest Series “Mean Streets of the Despicable.” The quest will start automatically when you reach the area.
During the fight with Volkodlak, parry 3 times by pressing the button in time. After the confrontation, talk to Zmei in Zolnyy, then head to the train station. Once the carriage starts moving, jump after it.
After the carriage stops, you will have to quickly choose what to do. You have only 5 seconds to decide, and choosing the wrong action will result in the entire stage being replayed. For the first choice, you can choose either “blend into the crowd and follow him” or “find a vantage point first.” If you chose the first option, choose “find a higher vantage point,” otherwise, you may lose your target. After that, press a button in time to jump down onto the train. If you initially chose the second option, it will lead you to this step right away. Head to the last carriage, enter it, and investigate the crates.
You will get spotted and engaged in another fight. Parry 3 times by pressing a button in time, and then press a button again to jump from the train. After you get samples, return to Zmei
After talking to Zmei, head to the Izmaylovs’ base north of Glupov. During this stage, you must not be seen by enemies, otherwise, you will have to start over. Go around the enemies on the left, climb to the tower, enter a Link Mechanism, and leave it to fly higher. You can also place a Launching Platform near the entrance.
In the base, you can obtain a temporary Matryoshka blueprint and place it to distract enemies. Go around the enemies on the right, climb the stairs, and take the blueprint. Place Matryoshka to distract Volkodlak, sneak behind them, and take the lift.
Place a Link Mechanism so that it's connected to the upper one. Reach the upper Mechanism and fly down to the other side to avoid the spotlight or just use characters who can fly (for example, Sandrone).
Once you are in the room, move the curtains and talk to Gureva. Hide behind the crates, and after that, escape the base by the hidden passage on the right.
After you save Gureva, return to Zmei in Zolnyy, and you will all travel to the Train Boneyard. Defeat the enemies and enter the Train Boneyard. When you are asked for a password, say “Oedipus.”
The guard will recognise you, so defeat them and move forward. After you reach Vasiliy, you will enter the special shooting mode.
Defeat all the enemies. Be careful when you cross the tracks, as you may be hit by a train. Chase Vasiliy and defeat him. After the fight, jump into the hole and leave on the mine cart. After you leave the cave, talk to Zmei.
The quest will be completed after you return to Zmei. You will get the achievement Above the High Table.
