Start near Empire Avenue Station, move toward the Theater route, and turn behind the cinema facade. The cab is in the smaller rear lot, not on the main road in front of the building.
Where to find the West Incursion Zone taxi
Start near Empire Avenue Station, move toward the Theater route, and turn behind the cinema facade. The cab is in the smaller rear lot, not on the main road in front of the building.
Why players miss this taxi
The obvious route continues toward the Theater. The taxi sits off that line near the cinema and gravity-wall approach, so it is easy to leave behind.
How to confirm the right approach
Use Empire Avenue Station as the anchor and verify that you are on the Theater-side route before searching the smaller parking area.
Step-by-step route
- Use Empire Avenue Station as the nearest orientation point.
- Follow the route toward the Theater and move behind the Empire cinema.
- Enter the small rear lot and answer Mila at the taxi payphone.
- Observe the overhead streetlights for a complete cycle in every round.
Commonly reported puzzle
Streetlight Rhythm Puzzle: Stop moving, watch one complete cycle, then identify the taxi under the requested pattern.
Reported rounds use the flashing lamp, the only steady lamp, and finally the lamp blinking out of sync with the others.
Watch a full light cycle before choosing. The final round depends on which lamp is out of sync, not which one flashes first.
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.
