Act 4 opens in daylight in a shattered district of Kalona. The goal is the district gate station, but the way there is wide open: a cathedral, a cemetery, the Regalia Hotel and Kalona Square, plus three side objectives. It’s one of the richest chapters for loot — 13 collectibles, 14 Hard Cases and 4 supply caches.

The memorial
- After you get your orders, look around before moving on: the COG Tags of Hank Rustin are right at the start, the Message from the Coalition is at the memorial wall, and Betsy Barnes’s tags are on the stand in front of it. Hard Case 1 is down the steps to the left, and the first supply cache is here too.
The cathedral and the cemetery
- Your objective is now Reach the district gate station. First get past the cathedral: inside, the right side of the surviving red stained-glass windows hides Hard Case 2, and Hard Case 3 is on the right at the back, just before you leave.
- Behind it lies the cemetery — kill the Locust in the cemetery, using the gravestones and broken walls as cover. Outside the graveyard, go left up the road to a gate for Hard Case 4; the back alley north-west of the burial grounds has Hard Case 6.
The Regalia Hotel
- Cut through the Regalia Hotel. Hard Case 7 is on the left at the entrance and Hard Case 5 through the entrance on the right, south of the hotel. Inside you must clear the Wretches — fast, swarming melee enemies, so back into a corner or a corridor and take them as they come. There’s a supply cache on an inner balcony.
- Around the hotel and the Remembrance Mural: the VIP Guest List on a reception desk east of the mural, the Dispute Magazine by the blocked underpass west of the hotel, the Anniversary Card on a table east of the mural, and the Ulk Plushie on two suitcases to its north. Hard Cases 9, 10 and 12 are around the mural (restaurant back room, beside a door, by a fountain), and Hard Case 8 is behind the courtyard fountain.
Kalona Square
- Reach Kalona Square, then kill all the enemies in the plaza and all the Locust in the square. It’s a big open fight; work along the edges and use the covered walkway (which has a supply cache).
- The square has a lot to pick up: Harrison Alexieff’s tags south-east of it and Dale Maddoc’s to the east, the Statuette of Roman Kalona on a shelf east of the square, and Hard Case 11 behind a building to the south-west. Once the plaza is clear, Hard Case 13 appears near the station entrance.
- Further out: the Handwritten Letter in Vasgari by the paintings near the Monroe apartments, the Opera Program on the balcony in front of the Spire Opera House, Mei Aoi’s tags north of the opera house, and Hard Case 14 at the end of the alley east of Highview Forum.
The district gate
- The three side objectives are all in this part of the map — see the checklist. They’re worth doing for the mod slot and mods.
- Open the district gate (turn left afterwards for the last supply cache) and head into the station to find a working subway train. That ends the chapter.
