Alden's Rampage was the twenty-ninth story mission in Infamous. Cole MacGrath needed to stop Alden Tate from escaping to the Historic District.

Story[]

Alden's tearing across that bridge, heading for the Historic District. Stop him before he reaches the other side.
― John White, speaking to Cole MacGrath[src]

John White called Cole, warning him that Alden was trying to escape over the bridge to the Historic District, and ordered him to catch up to him. Quickly making his way from his roof vantage point, Cole found the previously sealed-off bridge entrance in tatters. The structure beyond was falling down due to Alden's telekinesis powers.

As he climbed to the support beams above the crumbling road, Cole received a call from Moya Jones, who was wanting to know why she would get disconnected every time she tried to call him. As he was in the midst of a precarious situation, Cole blew her off, bluntly insisting she figure it out herself.

Cole continued on, traversing the bridge's support beams and facing heavy fog while battling numerous Dust Men. He soon reached a giant gap in the bridge, and once he glided across, he came face to face with Alden, who quickly surrounded himself in junk, transforming himself into a supreme Golem. Cole then engaged him in combat and, after a difficult fight, managed to destroy Alden's Golem form.

Moment of Hesitation[]

Moment of Hesitation 1

Cole prepares to finish Tate off.

Grabbing his broken adversary, Cole was prepared to kill him. However, Tate tried to convince Cole into letting him help defeat Kessler. He then, however, used Cole's momentary hesitation as a chance to break free of his grasp, thereby throwing himself off the side of the bridge. Cole stared into the black waters below and wondered if Alden, with his Conduit abilities, could have survived such a fall. He then crossed the remainder of the bridge into the Historic District, knowing the whole situation was coming to a head, and wishing he was not crossing the finish line alone.

Walkthrough[]

Alden's Rampage gameplay 1

Cole shoots a trash bagger off the bridge.

Make your way down to the base of the bridge and begin crossing. Ascend the girders to get yourself up higher, as most of the road is too damaged to cross. Expect some combat with Dust Men ahead. As you traverse the dangerous structure, zap all the enemies that get in your way, but steer clear of any rockets, as they can be difficult to spot in the heavy dust. When you get far enough, an entire section of the bridge will collapse. Lump to the girders nearby; start with the one that resembles a crane and follow them all the way across.

Keep going until you are nearly surrounded by Dust Men, and take them out with Lightning Bolts. If you want to protect yourself, try hanging over the edge while doing so. Mow down the foes on the ground below you as well, then glide over to the large sign that acts as a platform. Jump and glide over to the next section of the bridge, where you will begin a boss fight with Alden.

Boss battle[]

You will go toe-to-toe with Alden while he is inside his Golem. He will begin by tossing large junk balls at you; these do a significant amount of damage, so quickly deflect them with Cole's Shockwaves. Try to get some shots in on him in between his attacks. Go for either his head or arms; keep firing and prepare for his next wave of junk balls.

Alden's Rampage gameplay 2

Cole battles it out with Alden.

Continue attacking the Golem until it is stunned, then attack its mouth (where Alden is) to make it collapse further. It will then send out a bunch of scrap crabs towards you. After you dispatch them, the Golem will rise again, but will now deploy its new attack, in which it will fire a barrage of small garbage pieces at you (similar to regular Golems). Shield yourself from this by deploying the Polarity Wall. If you have purchased the first upgrade for it, you can use it to replenish your battery cores. While still attempting to dodge the garbage balls, continue to weaken the Golem more by firing at its weak spots. After you attack its mouth a second time, it will collapse again, and this time, a horde of scrap crabs will be launched toward you. Use Shockwaves to fend them off before they can overrun you. Keep an eye out for energy sources in any of the corners of the platform.

In the third and final phase, the Golem spits fire onto your ground. This attack is fairly easy to dodge, but a portion of your platform will be covered in flames, which limits your space a bit. Continue dodging Alden's attacks, and fight back with a barrage of Lightning Bolts. Stun the Conduit one last time, then go for a final attack on its mouth to defeat him.
