| * |  After completing Order No. 016, make sure to stock up on Blood Bags and weapons before going to the location where the anomaly has been detected. Order No. 017 involves a lengthy gunfight on a separate map. ▶︎ Order No. 016 Walkthrough |
| 1 |  Once you find yourself in the Strange Realm, carry all the cargo you dropped and head northwest toward the plaza. You will encounter Soldier BTs along the way, so be ready for combat. |
| 2 |  At the plaza, continue moving forward under the bridge until you reach a graveyard, where a cutscene will trigger. |
| 3 |  Defeat the Mysterious Man. We recommend a stealthy approach for this boss fight. Eliminate the Soldier BTs first before targeting the Mysterious Man. When the Mysterious Man takes enough damage, he will teleport to a different part of the graveyard and summon more Soldier BTs. Repeat this process until another cutscene plays. You can check our guide below for more detailed tips on beating the boss. |
| 4 |  After defeating the Mysterious Man, you'll wake up back in Australia, ending Episode 5 of the game. |

Stock Up on Blood Bags and Weapons
As explained, the boss fight takes place in the Strange Realm, cutting you off from the chiral network temporarily. Before starting this order, be sure to fabricate as much Blood Bags as you can carry, as well as your strongest weapons, and any useful utilities for the fight against the Mysterious Man.
You’ll also be disconnected from the Social Strand System during this boss fight, meaning you won’t find any items dropped by other porters.
Take the Stealthy Approach
The Mysterious Man and his Soldier BTs outnumber you, so it's best to approach this boss fight slowly and strategically. Take out the Soldier BTs quietly before shooting the Mysterious Man. Use utility items like the Decoy Hologrenade to distract or lure enemies for a silent takedown.
