The Ark Society mission features two primary targets: Sophia Washington and Zoe Washington. Multiple elimination methods are available, each requiring different levels of planning and execution.

The Ark Society Map Overview

Winds of Change

An opportunity to eliminate Sophia that requires wearing Blake’s costume for upper floor access.

First, acquire the red robe worn by people on the phoenix platform. Lure one of them away and knock them unconscious. Ascend to the old oak tree area, neutralize a raider, and take their clothing. Once you’re on Blake’s level, distract a guard by activating the generator and slip rat poison into the wine—you can find poison in a nearby building.

When he steps away, neutralize and change into his outfit, leaving the body where it is. Locate Sophia, speak with her, and proceed to the meeting. During the voting, say “yes.” Then chase after Miss Washington, strangle her quickly, and hide the body before anyone notices. If you choose “no” instead, she’ll suggest a private conversation. Follow her, and when she leans over the iron maiden, push her inside and close the lid.

The Last Voyage

A challenging but spectacular method to kill Zoe involving the burial ceremony.

You need to find the ceremonial dagger and take Janus’s place in the coffin. Run to the warehouse and immediately grab a crowbar. The crate containing the dagger randomizes location with each mission restart. The most difficult scenario occurs when it’s in the center crate near the construction worker reviewing papers—distract the guard by cutting the electricity and the janitor with a coin, then break open the crate.

After securing the dagger, head to the morgue. Change into raider clothing along the way or carefully navigate via the drainpipe. You must wear Janus’s funeral garb. Try distracting the guards; if unsuccessful, knock them out one by one. Carefully sneak through the grass to the burial mound, signal the harpist, and lie down in the coffin.

The farewell ceremony will begin. Wait until you’re alone with Zoe, then eliminate her. Hide the body in the bushes afterward.

The Harvard Club

A straightforward method to eliminate Zoe through the initiate trial.

Run to the phoenix square and watch for a person in a white robe. When they step aside, knock them out, change clothes, and hide the body in the grass. You need ten memorial tokens total. This initiate has two, and another two come from the second initiate drinking at the bar one floor down—slip emetic poison into his glass and knock him out when he’s incapacitated.

Search restricted zones for the remaining tokens. Each sits near a small candle. Explore around the effigy hill, descend into the sewers, and examine your surroundings carefully. Once you’ve collected ten tokens, go downstairs, knock on the door, and show them. You’ll be escorted to the lie detector.

The answers to the questions are quite obvious. If you answer all questions truthfully, Zoe will ask you to follow her—you can strangle her along the way. Alternatively, lie throughout the entire test, and the ordeal will end with Zoe dying from an accident.

Climbing the Corporate Ladder

An opportunity to push Sophia off the rooftop by revealing her secret plan to Constant.

Disguise yourself as a raider and use the ledge to access the room with the laptop. To identify Sinclair, look for someone talking on the phone. When he passes the head statue, attract his attention by flooding the bathroom sink, knock him out, take his disguise, and grab the blueprint.

Speak with Constant and follow him. After their conversation, he’ll arrange a meeting with Sophia. Carefully climb the drainpipe to the floor above and eavesdrop on their discussion. Once the woman is alone, sneak up behind her and push her down.

The Phoenix Reborn

A simple and dramatic way to deal with Zoe through the phoenix burning ceremony.

Obtain a wrench, knock out the guard near the cliff edge, and sabotage the hydraulic mechanism. Then make your way to the master of ceremonies, distract the security, knock him out, and take his outfit. Head to the phoenix square, grab a torch, ignite the money pit, and summon Zoe. She won’t escape from the effigy alive.

This Belongs in a Museum

A complex Sofia elimination method where you play the role of a former lover.

Make your way to the museum. To steal the necklace undetected, climb upstairs, carefully eliminate the programmer, and disable the alarm system. Change clothes and hide the body. Then run through the museum activating all distraction items—this ensures nobody watches the necklace, allowing you to take it freely.

Distract and knock out Mr. Black. If that proves difficult, return to where you disabled the alarm and wait for him there. Change into his outfit and hide the body. Now seek out Sophia. She’ll suggest meeting in the office, and after your conversation, she’ll ask you to put the necklace on her. Strangle her at this moment.

Silent Assassin, Suit Only

You’ll need a silenced pistol for this approach.

From the starting location, run to the phoenix square, then navigate through the tunnel where you searched for memorial tokens to reach the helipad. Climb up the eastern pipe. Wait for Miss Washington to pass the office doors. Attract her attention using the activated alarm clock, but ensure no other woman or bodyguard responds to the noise.

When Sophia leans over the clock, shoot or strangle her, hiding the body in the crate on the right. Return to the helipad and carefully climb through the nearest window on the left. Pick up the mace and wait for the second Miss Washington to appear in the corridor.

When she gets close, throw any object under the door. As Zoe approaches to investigate, shoot the chandelier base—this creates an accident. Crucially, avoid hitting her guard. Carefully exit via the helipad.
