Paper Tiger – The Krishna Caper

We start off this mission in Jaipur, India. Let’s start off with the Luxury Tourist Train.

Our goal is to get the ACME agent’s laptop. Before this – there’s a set of blue pottery in the booth to the right of the agent – examine the pottery for a fact.

Now go to the attendant to the far right of the car and talk to her.

Return to the location of the ACME agent now and investigate the notebook and the laptop.

Hack the laptop and you’ll get a City Lead, completing this location.

Head over to Johari Bazaar. Here, as we know that Jaipur is famous for blue pottery, not yellow, we should side with the customer, not the stall owner.

Question the stall owner after that, and you’ll get another City Lead. You can inspect the yellow pottery for another City Lead if you wish.

Now head on to the Blue City, where you’ll zip around with a grappling hook to get to a VILE operative.

Once you’re ready to move on, book a ticket for Accra, Ghana, which uses cedis, and has gold on its flag.

We’ll start with the Asante Shrine. Here, check out the carved back wall on the building nearby to get a fact.

Now head to the courtyard and investigate the blue paper pieces lying on the floor.

Here, compare the edges on the left and right side papers, and combine them accordingly to form a paper star. This will net you a City Lead.

Next, we head on to Black Star Square. Here, blend in as Event Security and you’ll get a City Lead for it.

Now head to the Safari Resort. This is a gliding section, so do your best to glide to the target. You’ll get a City Lead when you reach the target.

Our next location is Brisbane, Australia, which has a King as the Head of State (the crown), and where you drive on the left side of the road.

We’ll start off at the South Bank Parklands. Here, go right to find a plaque between two benches, which will get you a fact.

Go to the far left to find another plaque, this one near a boardwalk.

Go up the boardwalk and interact with the paper star that’s on top of a blue bin. This will yield you another city lead.

There are a couple more paper stars in the area, but they won’t get you anything.

Now interact with the ACME agent using her phone, and you’ll pickpocket her to get a paper star.

We’ll now head to Daintree Rainforest. Here, use your hi-tech goggles and switch to sonar mode. Search the cliff face, and you’ll get a City Lead. Search through the confetti to find another City Lead.

Finally, we head to the Great Barrier Reef. Here, Carmen will don her goggles.

Turn on Sonar and investigate the farthest object in the area, marked red. We need a code for this briefcase, so return to the starting point.

Turn on Sonar again and investigate the red panel to the right. Interact with it to hack it.

Now return to the starting point and turn on ultraviolet. Click on the handprints to go down the corridor. This will show you some footprints as well. Click on the footprints.

Turn on ultraviolet again and you’ll see the code on the observation window.

Now turn on sonar again and interact with the briefcase to get it open.

It’s now time to get moving. Our clues point to Buenos Aires, Argentina (near the South Atlantic, a Presidential Republic, and where Spanish is spoken).
