Infamous Second Son will pit many tough enemies against Delsin. Whether bio-terrorist or paragon of virtue, the Department of Unified Protection cares little for Delsin’s altruism, focused primarily on stopping him and his growing powers. As the leader of the D.U.P, Brooke Augustine will throw everything she has at Delsin in the brief encounters she has with him in Infamous Second Son.
After the player completes their first morality-based quest, Laura Bailey's Fetch will call to tell Delsin about the increased D.U.P presence in the Lantern District. This will begin Mission 12: The Test, which sees Delsin cross a perilous bridge leading to the southern island. Before Delsin can reach it, however, he must first come face-to-face with Augustine and a powerful new threat. This guide will show players how to reach the Lantern District and defeat the huge D.U.P Agent that stands in the way.
How to Cross the Bridge
Firstly, head to Pioneer Square on the south-eastern corner of the northern island; players who have unlocked Second Son's fast travel can get there quicker. Beside the docks is a long curved bridge, broken into pieces by the D.U.P’s concrete powers in an attempt to quarantine the city. The player’s objective sits partway across this bridge, indicated by the star icon.
On approach, run over some shipping containers until Delsin comes up to a giant concrete wall flanked by neon lights, beyond which is the player’s objective. With his neon powers equipped, run directly up the wall to the top and a cutscene will play that sees Delsin activate his smoke powers.
All over the bridge will be automatic turrets, marked on the player’s minimap with small yellow icons. The goal here is to cross the bridge without taking too much damage by jumping over and sneaking around the turrets. With plenty of shipping containers blocking the way, this shouldn’t be too much trouble, as they can only aim in one direction and can be taken down from behind.
After avoiding the turrets, Delsin will come across a large gap in the bridge. As in the tutorial, use Sucker Punch's impressive traversal mechanics to bounce off the burning car and propel Delsin across. Head further up and some D.U.P agents will ambush the player; deal with them and jump down into an area that looks suspiciously like a boss arena.
How to Defeat the Big D.U.P Agent
Upon reaching this area, a cutscene will play where Delsin will reunite with Augustine and will be thrown into a boss fight with a flying conduit who will use concrete barriers to protect himself. This fight calls on the player to use their neon abilities to defeat him.
His attacks involve tunneling concrete and throwing rocks from a distance; these must be dodged or protected against with cover. Trying to fire at these projectiles will have no effect, therefore, players should use the large boulders and D.U.P barriers to avoid the hurtling debris. After he fires at Delsin, there is a small window of opportunity to attack; using powerful Phosphor Beams and Infamous' karma-related attacks can help whittle down his health quickly.
The D.U.P Agent will head underground, also, and make a beeline for the player to perform a powerful melee attack. Dodge this just before he emerges from the ground to avoid taking damage, and fire at him in his cooldown.
As with other armored D.U.P Agents, the player must aim exclusively for the head and torso to deal real damage. Adopt a hit-and-run strategy for this fight, landing a few good hits and running back to cover, making sure to keep an eye on the Agent to avoid being snuck up on.
After taking him down, the player will have a whole new area of the map open to exploration, filled with many more hours of Infamous content, and providing a more challenging experience.
