Stratford Tower: Where Caution Takes the Elevator (Not the Stairs)
The Stratford Tower chapter is ground zero for potential Simon-shaped tragedies. Here's how to navigate this mission without accidentally signing your tiny friend's deactivation warrant:
Tip: Reread key phrases to strengthen memory.
Channel your inner ninja: When entering the tower, avoid the soldiers at the security checkpoint like they're a malfunctioning recycling bin. Sneak by them, knock them out with a well-placed karate chop - anything but a blaze of glory that ends with Simon as target practice.
Leave the Roof Inspection to the Professionals (or Not at All): If you do end up on the roof with a wounded Simon, resist the urge to be a hero. Let Markus patch him up and get you both out of there. Connor might come investigating later, and trust me, you don't want Simon's name popping up in his memory files.
Bonus Tip: The Art of Selective Amnesia
Playing as Connor? Look, we all know your job is to hunt down deviants, but cut Simon a break. If you find yourself interrogating the kitchen staff at the Stratford Tower, don't choose to investigate the roof. Just pretend you have a sudden case of memory loss about that whole rooftop rendezvous.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
So, Simon Survived the Tower. Now What?
Great! Now you just gotta avoid any other scrapes until the revolution is over. Easy, right? Well, relatively speaking. Just remember to fight smart, not reckless, and Simon should be by your side for the glorious android victory...hopefully.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
