After a brief encounter with Gorak, the Pyke Syndicate underboss, in Makal’s Gambling Parlor in Mirogana, you’ll meet Danka. This enigmatic broker has a job for you as part of the Underworld quest: infiltrate Gorak’s base to swipe some sensitive documents that Gorak wants kept under wraps.
Infiltrating the base is an early game skill check to test your stealth skills and can be quite a challenge, especially if you’ve bumped up the difficulty setting. We’ll walk you through how to infiltrate Gorak’s base.
Infiltrate Gorak’s base
Face the entrance to Gorak’s base and turn right to find a short staircase leading to an air vent. Jump in, follow it, and you’ll land in the Pyke District. A mysterious informant hits Kay up on the radio and tasks you with reaching the second floor terrace (the location of which we’ve marked in the image above).
You’ll want to stay crouched from here onward to limit the chance of being detected. Wait for the two guards ahead to walk by then go down the stairs on the left. Halfway down the stairs hop over the guard rail, jump down, then hide behind the crates. Wait for the patrolling guards to move away, then go through the alley on your left then hide behind yet another cluster of crates.
If you’re caught by any of the guards, you’ll be thrown out of the area and will have to start from the beginning again, so avoid getting detected.
Make your way forward sticking left and using the crates to stay concealed. Again, time your movements to when the patrolling guards are far away. You’ll then see a guard ahead, guarding an alleyway. Wait for them to turn around, then take a left up a short flight of stairs and hide behind the crate at the top.

Dash across to the balcony overlooking a lower area and follow it left to find a climbable wall. Head up, hop over to the marked black and yellow ledges. Continue up until you reach the level above. Use the data spike on the console next to the door ahead. Enter the vent at the back of the room.

Once out the other side, you’ll get a look prompt pointing to a gap high up on the other side of the room. Jump down to the ledge below, use the ladder, then call the turbolift using the console on your left. Climb back up the ladder, then use the now-lowered lift to climb higher. Instruct Nix to call the turbolift on the console ahead. Hop onto the second turbolift and jump across to the climbing wall. Follow it right then up to the level above and climb into the now-accessible gap in the piping.

Follow the path until you come to a fork. Note the moving fan on the right. Go left and instruct Nix to open the shutter on the other side of the grating then use your blaster to shoot the device behind the shutter. This will stop the fan. Head on forward, under the broken fan, and through the door on the right. Grapple across to the other side of the gap.

Disable the energy barrier
Go up the ladder and through the door to reach the Pyke Stronghold. From here, you can either go in all guns blazing or take a stealthier approach. It’s up to – you’ll no longer get caught if you’re spotted by any of the Pyke goons. Your aim is to disable two power cores – one on the right of the area and one on the left – then head through the red door at the back using the data spike.
Ride the elevator up, enter the room, and access Gorak’s Terminal on the other side of the table to get a Spitchka recipe, of all things. Next, you’ll need to slice the encrypted file. Turns out Governor Thorden and Tizlak are planning a coup and want to oust Gorak.

Escape the base
The console’s alarmed so expect to fight your way out. Take out the door guards that storm the room. Use the data spike to unlock the elevator door, then climb up the shaft and go through the vent. Clear out the enemies in the lobby then go through the vent on the left.
Grapple across the gap and climb down. Grapple down the cliff then hop across the gap and head right. Use the tree branch to grapple and climb up the rock face. Drop down into the spaceport. Make your way back to Danka in the parlor to wrap things up.
