Walk up the stairs in front of you and the Glowing Omen should be right in front of you.

| "Kilo Squad reported unlikely tactical use of smoke grenades by Locust Forces." Locust use Smoke Grenades to reduce visibility. |
| When you enter the villa, smoke grenades will start to reduce visibility until you get back outside. Taking close range weapons will help you inside. I recommend a Gnasher and Retro Lancer if possible. |
At the end of this path is a cache of weapons including Sawed-Off Shotguns and Retro Lancers. After busting through the gate, turn left and you should find a Torque Bow. I would take the Retro Lancer and hold on to a Gnasher if you have it.
Go up the stairs and enter the villa. Inside the Villa, you'll be attacked by locusts. The enemies that appear will likely be a variety of Boomer of every kind (which is why we are going with the Gnasher instead of the Sawed-Off) and Grubs like the Cyclops and Theron. When you first enter, watch for enemies dropping from the floor above. Don't go too far in immediately because more enemies will drop in to the left. Clear the first few enemies and then clear the area to the left before looping back to the right to continue.
Make your way to the back of the building and you'll get more Boomers, particularly Grinders. Use the walls and desks for cover and then proceed into the back yard. Outside, you'll be attacked by Therons, Wretches, and Boomers. If you managed to find a Torque Bow, this can make clearing them out pretty easy. The Grubs will start pouring out of the swimming pool in the back and through the front gate to your right. Close the E-Hole in the pool if it hasn't been closed before turning your attention to the front gate.
When the front gate is cleared, go through into the street and turn right. Your objective is the gate on the left but first go past it and at the end of the street, you'll find the Crimson Omen on the wall. Go to the back left corner and then turn around. Hug the wall on the right and go forward until you come up behind the light pole and a wooden barrier. The [COG Tags] should be on the ground in a pool of blood. Head for the gate and complete the mission.
