Last update: 11 May 2016

Mission objectives: During this mission you will have to rescue one of the rebel leaders, a man named Jose Caramicas. He is currently being held in a large fort El Grande, that now is used as a prison. You will have to enter the fort, locate Caramicas and extract him to a safe place. After that, you must return to one of the rebel camps.

Difficulty: easy

Complete walkthrough:

Important! The game has a nonlinear structure. You can finish missions using a lot of different strategies. Some of them will include using other vehicles or approach tactics. This mission will also give you a lot of choices. I will try and do my best to show you the most efficient paths.

You could take a silenced heavy machine gun with you, however this won't be necessary. There aren't many guards in the fort, so you don't have to worry about them too much. There's a motorcycle here. Use it (#1) and start moving towards your destination. I would recommend that you activate your personal map for a few seconds. Take a closer look at it. You'll probably notice a small black dot (#2). It means that there's something interesting there, that may become very useful. You will have to go there now.

Head on to a small pier. You should be able to find a fast boat here (Trireme - RC Athena), that surely may come in handy. Use it (#1). Start moving towards the fort. You will have to reach it from the left side. Once you're there, a game will create a checkpoint area (#2), so you won't have to repeat the whole mission from the start. Get ready!

Get closer to a small platform. You will have to make a single jump in order to reach it (#1). I would recommend that you go ahead and try a stunt manoeuvre, so you don't end up in the water. You should also be quick about it, mostly because enemy boats are patrolling this entire area. Start moving forward. Kill anyone that stands in your way (#2).

You will have to use a metal platform in order to reach one of the upper levels of the complex (#1). Be careful. There are some guards in your vicinity. Thankfully, you won't be attacked by anyone else (including the helicopters). You should be able to find a small entrance that leads to the main prison complex. Go there now. Turn right and keep moving forward. You will have to locate a small staircase. Use it to get down to the lower level of the prison (#2).

Use the stairs once again. The objective is to reach the lowest level of this complex. Head on to your destination (#1). You shouldn't have any problems locating it. Be careful, though. There are some additional guards here. You will have to take care of this small problem. Make sure that you take their equipment - better guns, ammunition, grenades and first aid kits. You should be able to reach the place where Caramicas is being held. A short cut-scene will appear on your screen (#2).

Now for the second part of this mission. You will have to go back to the highest level of the prison complex (#1). Don't worry about Caramicas. He should be just fine. Just make sure you reach your destination. Head on towards previously explored passageway. A new cut-scene will appear on your screen (#2). Caramicas will thank you for rescuing him. The good thing is you won't have to worry about him anymore. There's only one more thing for you to do. You must escape to one of the rebel camps.

I'd strongly recommend that you go back to the metal platform (the same one you have used before). You should find a patrol boat here (Triton - patroller; #1). It would be best to steal it. Bear in mind, however, that there are a lot of enemy units in the area. You will have to escape them. Start heading towards a known pier (#2). Once you're there, ignore it and keep moving straight (stay close to the shore).

Get closer to the rebel camp. Leave the boat and go to the nearest road. You will have to steal a new car (#1). I would recommend taking one of the police vehicles, so you won't have to worry about being attacked all the time. Start moving towards the rebel camp. You will have to use a dirt road in order to reach it (#2). Make sure that you don't fall off the cliff. The road is very narrow, so you should be careful.

You shouldn't have any major problems with reaching the rebel camp (#1). If your vehicle gets damaged along the way, make sure that you perform a stunt and take something else. An army jeep seems like a good idea. Once you've reached your destination, an interesting movie will appear on the screen. This is the end of this mission.

Important! Once again, I would recommend that you ignore all of the optional challenges. Concentrate only on your next main mission. It's very important, because completing it will unlock a lot of new interesting features. You won't have to go anywhere else, because the third mission of the campaign will begin automatically, right after you move forward. Thankfully, you don't have to worry about the ammunition. You will have an opportunity to rearm during the mission itself.
