Metro Exodus: The Barons Fortress – step-by-step guide

Our Metro Exodus guide continues with a focus on your visit to the Baron\’s Fortress. Artyom, Damir, and Giul aim to deal with the Baron and his people for good.

Before heading to the Baron\’s Fortress, make sure to complete all side activities. Once you finish that mission, you won\’t be able to return to the Caspian Sea!

Head to the marked location on your map, where you\’ll meet Giul and Damir. Follow them to the tunnel and go through the grate. Here, you\’ll make a decision that will determine the chapter\’s ending and Damir\’s fate: choose between an offensive or stealth approach.

• Tunnel – offensive approach
• Meeting the Baron
• Damir\’s fate

Tunnel – offensive approach

If you don\’t mind leaving corpses behind, the sewer path will be relatively easy. Move through the rooms and focus on taking out enemies. Most of the bandits will have their backs turned, making them easy targets for your knife. Grenades and Molotov cocktails work well in narrow corridors.

Meeting the Baron

No matter which approach you chose, head down the stairs and listen in on the conversation with the Baron. Then, go to the closed gate. On your way to the Baron, you\’ll encounter a man harassing slaves. Choose to stun or kill him; opting for the first choice will lead to a better ending.

You\’ll encounter the Baron and Giul will join you. However, the Baron will manage to escape. Prepare for a battle with numerous enemies. Hide behind cover and focus on eliminating bandits. Stronger enemies will appear gradually, so be cautious and manage your ammo and medkits well.

Damir\’s fate

Damir will appear, and he and Artyom will confront the Baron. After the cut-scenes, you\’ll learn about Damir\’s decision. If you rescued slaves from their cages, didn\’t kill any of them (stunning is acceptable), and gave Giul the photo of her mother, Damir will return to the Aurora. Otherwise, he will stay with Giul in the Caspian Sea.
