Where to find the Evacuation Zone taxi
Work inward from the zone road network and look for the blocked lane between buildings. Clear or bypass the local Hiss hazards before using the phone so you can study the puzzle without pressure.
Why players miss this taxi
The nearby Hiss hazards pull attention toward combat and away from the dead-end where the taxi is parked.
How to confirm the right approach
Clear the immediate hazard, then listen for the horn and check the blocked lane for flashing taxi lights.
Step-by-step route
- Enter the Evacuation Zone and follow the streets toward the building-lined dead-end.
- Deal with Hiss spikes, beams, or nearby enemies before interacting.
- Locate the taxi and answer Mila at the payphone.
- Read the clue only after the Threshold scene has settled.
Commonly reported puzzle
Roof Sign Puzzle: Approach the taxis and watch which roof sign stays lit or reacts differently.
Test the signs at close range. Choose the cab whose roof sign remains active or uniquely responds after the decoys switch off.
The environmental hazards are part of the approach, not the taxi logic. Finish the encounter before trying to read the signal pattern.
How to confirm completion
Do not leave after one correct cab. The local Threshold runs for three rounds. Wait for the green traffic signal each time, finish the return sequence, and then mark this zone complete in the route log.
