The video showcased above shows a full walkthrough of an S Rank run through the Elephant mission!

In the game of Elephant, there are merely three primary goals for players to focus on, as there are no secondary objectives to concern themselves with. Here’s a rundown of the tasks that players aim to accomplish:

1. Build structures quickly and efficiently using the resources available.
2. Protect your own structures from enemy attacks while simultaneously destroying theirs.
3. Gather and manage resources effectively to outpace your opponents in building and defending.

Objective	Description
Bring Order to Chaos	Arrest all 4 suspects
Rescue All of the Civilians	Secure all 13 civilians
Defuse the Bomb Threats	Defuse 2 bombs

In Elephant, there are just 3 main objectives, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s an easy task. This mission comes with a sense of urgency as time is truly of the essence. You see, there’s a countdown timer, and if you don’t complete the mission within 18 minutes, the bombs will explode. But that’s not all – the 4 suspects inside the community college won’t hold their hostages for long. They might start executing them after only 2 minutes of gameplay or following the first shot fired.

Elephant can be a challenging mission, so it’s best to follow the detailed steps provided below and heed the advice on how to save civilians from harm. If you find yourself struggling, don’t hesitate to restart the mission as many times as needed to get it right. To earn an S Rank, make sure to bring Beanbag Shotguns for non-lethal takedowns and wear Light Armor so that you can move quickly across campus without any delays. Remember, your top priority should be clearing rooms, subduing suspects, and focusing on the safety of the entire campus before attending to hostages. Time management is key in this mission!

How to Bring Order to Chaos in Elephant

In the Elephant mission, maintaining order amidst chaos is crucial, surpassing the importance of defusing bombs. There are four potential culprits in this mission, and in approximately 2 to 4 minutes, they will initiate hostage executions, thwarting the objective of saving civilians. A strategic approach for the Elephant mission would be to disregard the hostages entirely and conduct a thorough sweep of the entire building for threats. If you’re playing solo, ensure the AI officers remain at their spawn points and don’t enter the building. The more pressure you apply to the suspects, the higher the likelihood they will execute hostages. Therefore, try not to excessively issue commands or shoot too many bullets.

To effectively neutralize the four suspicious individuals in Elephant without endangering civilians:

1. Equip Light Armor for protection, and carry a Beanbag Shotgun for subduing suspects non-lethally.
2. Enter rooms swiftly, focusing solely on locating and apprehending the suspects, disregarding any civilian presence.
3. Do not collect evidence during this operation; your priority is capturing the suspects.
4. Upon arresting a suspect, move on to the next until all four have been detained, completing the “Bring Order to Chaos” objective.
5. Given the AI’s unpredictable behavior and spawn points, multiple attempts may be required. It’s best to initiate from the ground floor, and if you come across a hostage, promptly ascend to search for a suspect nearby, as the gunshot will alert them.
6. Be cautious not to act too aggressively by repeatedly issuing commands or waste ammunition unnecessarily; maintaining a measured approach should facilitate a smoother operation.
7. Keep in mind that the suspects might execute hostages at their leisure, but there is usually a 2-minute window of generosity for completing your mission.

How to Find and Defuse All Bombs in Elephant

All Bomb Locations in Elephant – Ready or Not

In the game Elephant, the second primary goal is to disarm the potential bomb threats. Since it takes between 18-20 seconds to defuse these bombs, they shouldn’t be tackled until the suspects have been apprehended, as doing so prematurely could waste valuable time. The bombs will explode after 18 minutes, providing ample time for players to discover both of them. In Elephant, there are only two bombs to contend with, and they emit a distinctive beeping sound if players ensure their audio is set appropriately. Keep in mind that the bomb has a metallic casing and is often positioned next to another object, making it somewhat camouflaged among props. A map of the game’s two floors is available for players to locate all bomb sites, but detailed descriptions of each location are also provided below:

Bomb Location #1 – On a table next to a wall with windows, past a destroyed coffee vending machine on the first floor.
Bomb Location #2 – On a table at the Cafe Noir.
Bomb Location #3 – On the center table in the Lecture Hall on the first floor.
Bomb Location #4 – On a table inside the IT room on the first floor.
Bomb Location #5 – On a table up the stairs to the second floor with a banner behind it that reads “Open house days”.
Bomb Location #6 – On a table on the second floor, in the Teacher’s Lounge, which connects to Lab 202. It’s a room found past a brick pillar and green lockers.
Bomb Location #7 – On a table by the projector wall in Lab 202, second floor.
Bomb Location #8 – On a table in Lab 203, second floor.
Bomb Location #9 – On a table just outside the library by the hanging science statue, second floor.

How to Rescue All the Civilians in Elephant

In the town of Elephant, there’s a large number of civilians, and your mission is to round up 13 of them. However, this task isn’t urgent compared to apprehending the four criminals. So, while searching rooms, focus on the suspects rather than the civilians; don’t bother ordering them to kneel. Once all suspects are in custody, conduct another search of the entire building. The civilians won’t leave the campus, so they’ll be hiding in various classrooms and corridors. If you’re playing solo, consider bringing in AI squadmates once the threat from the suspects is neutralized. They can assist by sweeping rooms, detaining any nearby civilians, and even collecting evidence that you might have missed.
