[Mission 04] The San Esperito Connection | Walkthrough Just Cause Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Mission objectives: This is a fairly simple mission. You will have to kill one of the famous drug dealers, a man named Franco Alifano. Thanks to that, you will be able to take his identity. You will then have to meet with one of the leaders of the Rioja cartel, pretending to be Alifano. The main goal is to gain a strong ally for the upcoming battles.

Difficulty: easy

Complete walkthrough:

Like I've said before, you probably won't have any problems with this mission. It's very simple and quite short. The first objective will require you to kill Franco Alifano. He will be arriving here by plane. Don't worry, you won't have to be in a lot of hurry. Steal a car and start moving towards the designated area (#1). It's an airport. You will be using a lot of small roads along the way. Avoid larger trees and rocks if you don't want any trouble. You must get closer to the airfield (#2). I should also tell you that you've been provided with a grappling hook. It's an interesting tool, however you won't have to use it during the course of this mission.

Once you get close enough to the airport, a small convoy will start moving towards a nearby town (one limousine and two armored vehicles). Thankfully, you won't have to be in a lot of hurry. Try getting closer to the limousine, because that's where you'll find the drug dealer. Avoid getting hit by the armored vehicles. I would recommend that you press the stunt button (#1). Now you will have to jump over to the roof of the limo. Press the new button in order to take out the driver of the limousine (#2).

As you've probably noticed, your target has also left the limousine. You will have to take care of that problem (#1). It would be best to hit him using the limo (#2). One successful bump should be enough. Make sure that the dealer's dead. Thankfully, armored vehicles probably won't interfere with that. You might as well ignore them.

Now for the easy part. Start moving towards your new objective (#1). It's going to be a small town area. Sooner or later, armored vehicles will drop the chase, so don't worry about them too much. Head on to a designated building (#2). Leave the car (it doesn't have to be a limo) and enter a small passageway. Thanks to that, you will complete this simple mission.

Important! Completing this mission will unlock a new safehouse - Rioja 01. Additionally, you will be able to take side missions from the cartel. As for now, I would recommend that you take control over this entire island. In order to do that, you will have to liberate a few additional settlements (villages and towns). Some of them have been previously inactive. Check the political map if you want to find out which areas can be occupied. You should also take a look at the second chapter of this game guide. If you're lucky, you will unlock two new hideouts. Rioja 02 safehouse will become available once you've advanceed to the higher level. Taking control of the largest city of the region will unlock Guerrilla 02 safehouse. There are two provinces here for you to conquer - de La Cruz and Aguilar. Make sure you have them. Just as before, it would be best to use helicopters. You will find them on roofs of Rioja villas.

Important! Taking control over the Rioja settlements is a little bit different. The first part of these missions is very similar. You will have to destroy three roadblocks and kill a lot of enemy soldiers. The final part, on the other hand, is different. Instead of going to the flag, you will be taking out leaders of the Mendoza cartel. It would be best to use grenades and heavier guns during these fights. Later in the game, rocket launchers are also very helpful.

Important! Before you decide to proceed to the next mission of the campaign, I'd strongly recommend that you take better guns. You should also save your current progress in the Rioja 01 hideout.
