Tips for completing Animus Challenges
I wanted to start this thread as a resource for future challenges. The idea came to me during the recent pacifist challenge. That is a tricky 1 as most missions can’t be completed without killing a single enemy. I also left it a bit late so only had 2 days to complete it! But it’s doable, just costs more intel. I went for standard missions as they are cheap. I think you could also do some story missions for cheaper but I didn’t.
Animus Challenge: Pacifist
Below is a list of good standard missions to do. Rosa has a smoke bomb ability that will give you a 2nd chance if she’s caught.
Region 1 Lvl 7 “Training Session”
This 1 costs 3 intel. 5 runs means 15 intel per day. It has an easy to get chest. I suggest using Luisa as she’s a good free runner with steal abilities. She can also lock pick to get the max reward from the chest.
Region 2 Lvl 12 “Is anyone home”
This costs 5 intel. 5 runs means 25 intel per day. I used Luisa and Rosa.
Region 3 Lvl 21 “Saboteur in the flanks”
This 1 costs 6 intel. 5 runs means 30 intel per day. It has a chest, but slightly out of the way (the lower level). I suggest using Luisa as she can lock pick to get the max reward from the chest and she can lock pick the door to the chest room.
Region 3 Lvl 28 “Foresight”
This 1 costs 6 intel. 5 runs means 30 intel per day. It has an easy to get chest. I suggest using Luisa as she can lock pick to get the max reward from the chest.
If you do the 4 missions above 5 times each you’ll get 20 runs per day for 100 intel.
Region 4 Lvl 39 “Gathering Ammunition”
This 1 costs 7 intel. 5 runs means 35 intel per day. I wouldn’t recommend this 1 if possible. It’s easy to fail as the guards get much better by this point.
