- CUTSCENE: Faith is seen moving around the city landscape as the credits roll.
- Your mission is to deliver a bag to Celeste. When regaining control, run straight ahead and jump off the ledge. When Faith reaches the blue solar panels, use them as launching pads to leap onto the small building ahead. Grab the zip-line with LB and race to the opposite building.
- Move forward and hit LB at the red railings to spring up. Keep to the right side and look for a small air conditioning unit to climb up on the right. Move to the top of the building with wall climb and walk across the red pipe to the opposite side.
- Hop off the white section of piping and use LB to side climb the yellow wall on the right. Reach the opposite side and line up Faith with the red ramp in the far corner. Run forward and press LB at the ramp to launch Faith towards the two red pipes on the left corner of the opposite building.
- Climb up the piping and hop up onto the roof. Swing the field of vision to the left to spot a chopper moving in. Run toward the red door and use RT to smash it open. Follow the hallway and climb up the concrete stairs. Look for the red bird symbol on the wall next to the gray stack of boxes.
- Climb up the boxes with LB and leap to the red hand-railing on the opposite wall with LB. Press RB to turn around and LB to leap up to the metal air duct above Faith. Climb up to the top of the vent shaft and proceed through the red metal vent to the right.
- BAG: The first bag is impossible to miss. It's directly underneath the red metal grate. (1/3)
- Move through the air duct and drop to the floor. Hit LT to skill-roll to safety. Faith will be facing a group of cops. Immediately turn to the right and take off towards the red set of metal stairs.
- TIP: To move quickly up the stairs, use the LB, RB, LB maneuver to wall climb, turn and jump up the landings.
- At the top of the stairs, smash through the red door with RT. Faith will approach a diverging hallway. There are paths to the left and the right.
- BAG: To reach the second bag, take a left. Move to the end of the hall and immediately turn to the left facing the metal shelving. Hit LB a few times to climb up and grab the bag on the top shelf. (2/3)
- Backtrack and dart to the right side. If the security guards caught up to Faith, climb back up on the shelving and try to pool them at the end of the hall. Cross to the right side and smash through the red door on the left. Turn left and use the air conditioning unit to vault Faith over the orange catwalk railing.
- Continue running and execute a skill-roll (LT) on the building to the right via the red ramp. Speed-vault up the red springboard to the right and repeat the process at the next two springboards directly ahead of Faith.
- Look to the left to stop two guards shooting at Faith. Make a running leap towards the first guard and use Y to disarm him. Use the gun to fire on the second guard on the blue catwalk.
- Tip: You can push X to enter Reaction Time. Once you do so, hit Y right as the screen turns slightly red. This makes disarming the cops easier.
- BAG: Look under the second cop's blue catwalk. It's between a tight grouping of gray air conditioning units.(3/3) Achievement Unlocked: Bag Lady
- Climb up the blue walkway and move to the highest level of the building. Look for a red ramp to launch Faith to the next rooftop. Climb up the fire escape to the roof.
- CUTSCENE: Faith climbs a ladder and tosses the bag to Celeste. Unfortunately, four swat cops enter from a door on the right and break up the reunion.
- Turn to the left of the cops and start running. Use LB to climb over the chain link fence and run toward the hovering chopper in the distance. At the edge of the building, press LB and grab onto the chopper landing bars.
- CUTSCENE: The chopper hovers around and Faith drops herself off at a soft blue pad on another rooftop.

- CUTSCENE: Faith is seen inside Merc's Lair when a set of alarms go off. Faith is alarmed and leaves for a building where shots have been fired. The building contains Faith's sister.
- Turn to the left and look for a section of the building that reaches the corner of another. Leap onto the large air conditioning system and run along the metal venting to reach the second smaller building. Launch Faith off the building and over the blue electric fence by hitting LB. Use the red railing as a spring board and send Faith flying over the second electric fence.
- BAG: Turn left after crossing over the fence and look for the red bird symbol on the building. Use the gray electricity box as a landing and climb up the small building. Look for the yellow bag in the middle of the gray venting on the roof of the building. (1/3)

- Use wall-climb in the next room to reach the upper areas of the small office. Climb up to the upper level and look for a small red vent to the right of the walkway. Leap from the railing to the vent and pull Faith up. SWAT is shooting at Faith during this portion, so move quickly through the air ducts.
- After Faith exits the air ducts, look for a red door to smash through on the left. Exit the office and run to the left. Hop off the balcony and slide down the slick, black glass to the right. Use LS to slide Faith toward the building on the left. Press LB at the edge of the slick glass to launch Faith to safety.
