One Columbus Circle is one of the eight main missions in Echoes of the Central Park DLC in The Division 2 that has many sections, like find a way inside, power the door and others, where players might get stuck, making it hard to progress.
From the usual circuit board puzzles to the generator ones, the mission has it all, and since it’s a main mission, you need to know how to complete it.
This is where my One Columbus Circle walkthrough comes in handy.
One Columbus Circle main mission walkthrough
To start the One Columbus Circle main mission in Echoes of Central Park DLC, head to Lincoln Square and go to the mission area.
Note: You can adjust the quest modifiers and difficulty, and use matchmaking and similar features at the quest’s start area.
The first objective is to ” Find a way inside.”
Go through the parking lot. The main door is locked. So turn right and shoot the circuit box through the security room window.
Doing so will unlock the security room door. Head inside and press the shutter button to open it.
Once you are in the parking area, defeat all the enemies.
Head through the door.
Defeat the Black Tusk enemy to secure the area.
After that, head to the other side and interact with the Valve to drain the water in the lower level.
Once done, drop down and head straight towards the quest marker. You will arrive at the locked shutter with the new objective “Power the door.”
In this section, you have to solve the generator puzzle found in the power room located next to the locked door.
To solve the puzzle, simply power up the three generators in the order marked in the screenshot above.
- Right generator -> Left generator -> Middle generator.
If you do it correctly, you will power the area. After that, you must interact with the circuit breaker.
Go through the door.
Keep following the path until you reach the dead body hanging upside down. Interact with it to complete the “Search the body” objective and progress the quest.
After that, head to the central part of the mall and defeat all the Black Tusk enemies to secure the area.
Once done, take the stairs leading to the first floor. There, interact with another dead body to search for clues.
Now, go through the door on the far end of the room.
Make sure to collect the audio log found in the left room before proceeding.
The next door leads you to the boss room where you fight Eric “Hound” Smith. Defeat him.
The next objective is to reach the 49th floor. You might get stuck at this section too as you need Elevator Code and the quest marker doesn’t show how to obtain it.
First, head to the Security Room located near the Elevator.
Right after you enter it, turn around and shoot the yellow circuit to unlock the Administration room.
Go inside the Administration Room and search the locker.
You will obtain the Elevator Code from it.
Now head back and take the Elevator to the vaults area. Once you arrive there, you will see Black Tusks killing each other.
Take them out to secure the area.
After that, follow the quest marker to the big open area. Defeat the enemies.
Defeat the Marauder to progress.
Once done, you must find a way past the rubble. In this section, you must use the service lift to get to the room above you.
Shoot the two joints of the service lift. Once it falls down, it will open a path leading to the floor above you. Take it.
Head inside, collect all the ammo and resources and head to the boss room.
In this section, you first fight Kerwin “Cerberus” Berry’s mech dogs and then him. Defeat them.
Collect the Keycard to complete the quest.
Once the quest is done, head to the elevator located on the other side of the room.
Open the main door and exit the area.
