[Mission 09] River of Blood | Walkthrough Just Cause Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Mission objectives: You will have to go and check what is happening by the Cocodrilo Pereziso river. There's a small station there. Mendoza's cartel is using it to ship all kinds of illegal materials. Today's one of the biggest shipments. If you locate something of high value, you will have to destroy it. The last objective will require you to return to a nearby safehouse.

Difficulty: easy

Complete walkthrough:

For the most of the time, you will stay on the water. Thankfully, the mission itself is quite simple. You'll be using a futuristic boat that's equipped with heavy machine guns. You've probably tested it before (you could find it by the Agency 02 hideout). You will have to leave the boat for later during this mission. Start off by going to the briefing area. Once it's over, enter the boat (#1). Start moving forward (#2). I would recommend that you use the map. Check where you will need to go.

Head on to a large river (#1). You shouldn't have any problems steering the boat. Just make sure you're not moving too fast. Otherwise you may end up somewhere you don't belong. ;-) A timer will appear on your screen. Don't worry about it. You will have plenty of time to reach your next destination. You will be able to perform small jumps along the way (#2), however I wouldn't recommend doing that, because it's a little risky. Try and avoid all visible objects. You will encounter a lot of wooden structures and boats.

You should be getting close to your next target very soon (#1). It turns out that there's a train here, loaded with rocket fuel. You will have to destroy three main tanks. Get closer to the shore. I would recommend that you move closer to the front of the train. Use the boat guns in order to kill some of the visible enemy soldiers. They shouldn't even retaliate.

Try moving closer to the first fuel stank. You will have to start shooting at it (#1). Thankfully, these objects will explode without any major delays (#2). Make sure you're in a safe distance. You have to be quick with two of the remaining tanks, because the train will start moving in a short while. You can't let it get away!

One of the enemy soldiers should be carrying a rocket launcher. I'd STRONGLY recommend that you kill him and take his weapon. You'll going to need it in the future. Use the rocket launcher to dispose of the remaining tanks (#1). Once they're gone, turn around and start running towards your boat (#2). Staying here isn't a good idea, especially since the area is crawling with enemy troops. Furthermore, enemy gunships will arrive here very soon!

Enter the boat. You will have to make a quick and very precise turn. Start moving forward. You may consider using your guns to destroy some of the enemy boats, however this is not necessary (#1). The most important thing at the moment is NOT to stop. You're being chased by enemy gunships. Take a look at your map. You will have to reach a small safehouse. Keep going straight. There are a lot of obstacles along the way. Avoid them at all costs, especially metal bars sticking out of the water (#2).

There's going to be a small bay on your right (#1). You will have to slow down a little in order to enter it without any problems. Otherwise you would have ended by the shore. Try moving closer to a small hut (#2). The mission will end in just a few seconds.

Important! Completing this mission will give you a full access to a new agency safehouse (Agency 03). Sadly, this hideout isn't as useful as its predecessors. As a result, you probably won't be using it that often. Rioja 05 is a much more interesting hideout, mostly because it has a Rioja settlement nearby. Thanks to it, you won't have any problems getting new helicopters. For the moment, I would recommend that you explore this entire island. You will have an opportunity to take control over several new villas for the Rioja cartel. New provinces are also very important. There are two sectors for you to conquer - de San Mateo and de El Oro. You should liberate these regions as soon as possible. There's a large town here. It would be a good idea to liberate it. You'll receive more Prestige Points for that. The second province, on the other hand, offers two small settlements. They are close to each other, so you won't have to travel so much. I should warn you, though. One of these settlements is an army base!

Important! Remember to use the newly acquired rocket launcher. It's a very powerful weapon. You should be using it during all of the liberating missions. Having a rocket launcher will allow you to destroy blockades without any problems. You will also have an opportunity to take down enemy gunships and armored vehicles.
