Steal a military Paria truck
You can start this mission after finishing the Clear the Air operation in Madrugada. You must revisit the local rebel camp, the Montero Farm. Meet up with Carlos Montero to obtain the order of rescuing the imprisoned Miguel.
The first objective doesn't have an objective marker, as you can steal any of the trucks travelling through the Costa Del Mar region. Carlos will send you a photo clueing you in to the Paria trucks' appearance - you'll recognize them thanks to the red truck crate.
Enter a car and start travelling down the main roads in the area. If you spot a parked Paria truck, you can immediately try to steal it.
It's more likely, however, that you'll encounter a truck that's moving through the area.
In order to steal it, get in line with the moving truck and wait for the Hijack icon to appear - you can do so by pressing down the right analog stick.
If the truck was accompanied by other enemy vehicles, you can try to lose them, or step out of the newly acquired machine for a while and shoot the enemies. Try not to initiate any big chases.
Deliver the Paria truck to Carlos
With your newly acquired truck, you must reach the gas station indicated on the map. If your truck is badly damaged along the way, you may consider using a repair tool to fix it.
Drive the truck into the large garage and watch the cutscene. Now you need to wait in the back compartment until you reach the prison.
Rescue Miguel from the prison
Once you regain control of the protagonist you'll be in the prison held in the former Gabriel Castillo Public School.
Stealth isn't mandatory here, but it's recommended, as it's possible to free Miguel without causing an alarm. If you intend to sneak your way through the prison, you should start with a quick recon to locate the alarm, the security cameras and the potentially problematic enemies.
We recommend sneaking near the borders of the prison, staying out of sight of most encountered enemies. You'll pass by Miguel's cell on the way, but you can't rescue him without a key.
Head towards the prison's main building. There's an officer in one of the rooms, you'll find the key on the table next to him.
Once you take the key, head to the building shown on the picture. You shouldn't encounter any enemies near the cell. Use the key to open Miguel's cell - you can recognize it by the lock's red color.
Escape with Miguel
During the escape you can't stray too far away from Miguel, but fortunately the man can hold his own.
You don't need to eliminate all enemies in the area, but make sure to deal with the ones on your way to the main prison yard. Get into the empty jeep and wait for Miguel to enter the car as well.
Drive into the main gate - you'll destroy it by crashing into it. Don't stop, keep driving until you reach the meeting place with Carlos. A cutscene depicting Miguel being welcomed in the rebel camp finishes this mission.
