Devil’s Cauldron is where Sniper Elite: Resistance turns up the heat and tests just how stealthy and strategic you really are. Your mission? Shut down a secret Nazi factory and blow up a few transportation rigs. No pressure. Along the way, you’ll dodge alarms, pick locks, and maybe cause a few explosions — on purpose, of course.

Get in, shoot stuff, get out – these are the best extraction-based shooters you can play.
This guide will walk you through every step of the mission, from uncovering hidden objectives to taking down the key target, ensuring you leave no stone unturned. Whether you’re aiming for 100 percent completion or simply looking to master the mission, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in.
Neutralize The Coastal Defense
If you’re scratching your head wondering what this objective is, it’s because it’s a secret optional objective for this mission. However, it’s the easiest to tackle first, so here’s how to get it done.
Starting from your initial location, make your way toward the first non-optional objective (Disable Kleine Blume Production), which is quite a trek. As you progress, eliminate enemies to clear your path. After passing a large house adorned with Nazi banners, you’ll spot a zipline on the right. Take it to descend to the ground and unlock this secret optional mission.
Once down, head east to the newly marked objective and enter the small building here. Inside, place a Satchel charge on a beige box in a side room to complete the secret mission. Be sure to exit the building entirely before detonating the charge, as the explosion will collapse the structure. We recommend a slow ignite to give you time to retreat and hide, especially since nearby enemies will be alerted if you haven’t dealt with them.
If you need Satchel charges, some are surrounding the outside of the small building.
Continue east to a tall church building with a sniper enemy stationed at the top. Before entering, look for this mission’s propaganda poster on the outer walls. Enter the church from the west side, pick the door on the immediate left, and head to the basement to find the Rifle Workbench. Once finished, ascend the stairs all the way to the top, and use the zipline to return to the starting point for this objective.
Sabotage Kleine Blume Transportation: Tanker Trucks
From the tunnel exit, head back northeast toward the large concrete wall and climb the stairs to the top platform. Here, you’ll have two paths: the left leads to the main non-optional objective, while the right takes you to a second secret optional objective. For those aiming for 100 percent completion, we recommend tackling this optional task first. If you’re not a completionist, feel free to skip ahead to the next section.
If you choose to proceed, head all the way to the northern edge of the map, where you’ll find a group of four tanker trucks. For the best vantage point, climb onto the northern wooden platform overlooking the area. From here, you can easily line up your shots. Use your sniper rifle to target the tanker trucks’ red glowing parts, blowing all four to smithereens. This optional objective is quick to complete and satisfying to watch as the explosions take out the entire group.
This will cause alarms to raise, so shoot at the marked alarm speakers to silence them.
Disable Kleine Blume Production
Head back to the top of the large concrete wall you visited earlier, but this time, take the path leading further into the mountainside.
Continue heading east until you come across a door that requires a Satchel charge to proceed. Blow the door open and move deeper into the facility. Inside, disable the alarm and eliminate enemies, including a Nazi in a white coat stationed in the rafters. Be sure to loot his body to obtain a key.
To reach the production facility, continue straight through a door surrounded by metal grates, just past the alarm you disabled. Inside, sabotage the generator to create a soundmask and then locate a safe on the northwest side of the room. Use the key from the white-coated Nazi to unlock the safe and retrieve the code documents. Finally, interact with the control panel near the large cylinder production machine in the middle of the room to trigger a scuttle.
The alarm will sound, so quickly make your way south through the facility to find a tunnel exit.
Sabotage Kleine Blume Transportation: U-Boat
Upon exiting the facility through the tunnel, take the stairs on the left toward this optional objective. Head southeast into the Industrial yard and locate the large building. Inside, find the fuel line in the middle of the building. Turn the handle on the controller and shoot the marked fuel line leading to the U-Boat to destroy it. Easy peasy.
Kill List: Eloi Coste
To take out Eloi Coste, continue to head west to the house near the water. Approach the building from the hill and hide in the grass for a vantage point. Use this position to snipe the enemies in and around the house, which will provoke Coste to reveal himself by firing at you from within the building. This makes him an easy target for your sniper rifle. Shoot him to complete this Kill List objective.
Exfiltrate
With all objectives complete, proceed to one of the three available exfiltration points. If you just finished with the Kill List objective like we did, the southwest exfiltration point is the most convenient. Descend and make your way to the gate, unlock or break the lock, and exfiltrate to conclude the mission. This will also unlock the southwest location as a bonus starting point for future playthroughs.
