Complete walkthrough:

This is one of the most challenging missions of the game. I'm sure that you're going to have a lot of problems with it. One of the most important things are the enemy gunships. You'll be under a constant fire. Furthermore, destroying a gunship won't solve the problem, because a new helicopter will arrive in its place. This mission is also quite long and there are only a few checkpoints out there. You have to be very careful. Start off by visiting Kane and Sheldon (#1). They will tell you what exactly has to be done once you've successfully infiltrated the complex. I would recommend that you get there by plane. Take a look at your map. You should notice a small airfield nearby. Go there now (#2).

As you've probably suspected, you will have to use a small plane that should be waiting for you here (Huerta SPA Ocelot; #1). Enter the plane. It would be best if you had practiced steering it before starting this mission, mostly because you can't afford making any major mistakes. Start flying towards your first objective (#2). It'll be located on your left.

Once you've crossed an invisible line, you'll activate a maximum pursuit level (#1). There are going to be a lot of hostile gunships and even jets in the area, so you can't stay aboard the plane for too long. Make sure that you're closer enough to the power plant. Exit the plane and after a short flight use the parachute (#2).

I hope that you had enough training with the parachute. It would be best if you had landed on top of one of the two big tanks (#1). It's very important, because your first mission objective is nearby. Head down to a lower platform. Place the C4 charge in a designated spot (#2). I'd strongly recommend choosing manually triggered explosives instead of the usual ones. Thanks to that, you will be able to move back to a safe distance.

You've probably noticed by now that you're being attacked by an enemy gunship. You may consider using the rocket launcher for the first time (#1), however you must conserve your ammo supplies, because you'll need a lot of rockets in the future. Jump down to the ground. Move back and detonate the first charge (#2).

Head on to the second objective. You may place the C4 by the small barrier (#1). Furthermore, a standard C4 charge is good enough. You'll have plenty of time to escape the explosion. Be careful, though. There are a lot of enemy soldiers here (#2). It would be best if you had avoided most of them. You shouldn't be fighting them, especially that there's probably a new gunship in the air. If you decide to kill someone, be on a look out for additional first aid kits. You'll need a lot of them if you want to survive here.

Head on to the third objective. Sadly, it's located on the other end of this road. Once you're there, turn right and keep moving straight. You will have to locate some new stairs (#1). They will lead you to a small metal platform. Your third objective is on top of a large tower. Before you decide to get there, use the rocket launcher once again (#2). Thanks to that, you'll have about 15-20 seconds to reach your objective.

You will have to locate a ladder (#1). You should be able to climb up to the top of the tower without any other problems. Place an explosive charge here (#2). It doesn't really matter which one you choose. Make a jump and use the parachute in order to reach the ground safely. Now for the hard part. Take a look at the map. You will have to reach a second main objective. Sadly, there's a large distance separating you from it. Start off by taking out the third chopper. Make sure that you leave at least two rockets for later!

I would recommend that you wait for enemy vehicles to show up here. Steal one of the armored cars (#1). I wouldn't recommend taking a jeep, because it would have been destroyed very soon. You will have to go to a small gate. Once you're there, start moving forward. You'll find yourself in a forest (#2). DON'T STOP. Try moving as fast as possible. You should know that enemy gunships will use rockets to stop you! Avoid these attacks at all costs!

Avoid hitting other cars (#1), because it would probably slow you down. As a result, enemy gunships would be able to destroy your vehicle. You might also consider taking a shortcut through the jungle, however this is very risky, mostly because hitting larger objects will destroy your car. If that happens, leave the vehicle and start moving (on foot) towards nearby structures (#2). As you've probably noticed, gunships won't use rockets against you, so you should be just fine.

You should be able to reach a small bridge very soon (#1). If you don't have a car with you, make sure that you steal a random vehicle (#2). I wouldn't recommend staying here for too long. Don't forget that there are enemy gunships in the air. They won't hesitate to kill you!

Once you've reached the new area, keep moving forward (#1). Your next target should be located on your left. Make sure that you make a stop by the trees. There are some stairs here (#2), as well as the motorcycle. You will have to use it in a few minutes. Use the stairs in order to get to a large metal platform.

You will probably have to deal with several soldiers along the way. Some of them will be standing on the ground. Use your grenades to take these guys out. Furthermore, I'd strongly recommend that you use the rocket launcher once again (#1). This will allow you to use one of the nearby ladders (#2). Make sure that you've reached the top safely.

Take a look at your map. You will have to reach a small console. It shouldn't be guarded by anyone, so you don't have to worry about that. Make sure that you place a C4 charge here (#1). It must be activated with a detonator! Otherwise you wouldn't have enough time to escape. Now you will have to get back to the ground. You may consider destroying one of the last gunships. Head on to the previously used stairs. There's a motorcycle here, remember (#2)? Use it.

The objective is to move closer to the shore. After using the detonator, you'll only have 60 seconds to escape from this island. You wouldn't be able to make it from the top (you could use the parachute, however this is very risky). Head on to the cliff and start moving carefully (#1). Try to not hit anything. Stop the bike once you have left the mountain area (#2). Detonate the charge. Like I've said before, you will have to escape this island before the huge explosion occurs.

Get back to the bike and keep moving forward (#1). I guess I don't have to tell you that you can't stop at anything. Thankfully, you should be able to reach the shore within just a few seconds (#2). Use the boat or make a jump towards the water. Start swimming. An interesting cut-scene will appear on your screen. Congratulations! You've finished this mission!

Important! There are A LOT of new opportunities waiting for you. Start off by taking full control over new provinces. There are two large sectors for you to conquer - Isla San Cristobal and Provincia del Rosario. These provinces are located in the southern part of the previously explored island. It's the same area where you had started the main mission. You shouldn't make any unnecessary changes in your approach. I'd also recommend that you take a closer look at the new large island. That's where the next mission of the campaign will start. Sadly, you won't be able to do a lot of things here. Make sure that you liberate all of the surrounding villas for the Rioja cartel. Sadly, there aren't many hideouts here, so you won't be using the villas to acquire new helicopters. You could also wait with these actions for later, because completing the next mission will grant you access to several interesting provinces. There are also a few packages in the area. Make sure that you collect all of them. Most of the packages are located inside a largest city. I would recommend that you use the helicopter to get them, mostly because some of the packages are well hidden.

Important! You should know that some of the Rioja liberating missions (taking control over villas) might become more difficult from now on. Enemy soldiers are more aggressive. Some of them will also be using heavy machine gun posts. You have to be ready for that!

Important! You don't have to prepare yourself for the next mission, because you won't leave a helicopter at any time. I would recommend, on the other hand, that you save your progress in one of the nearby hideouts - Rioja 06 or Rioja 07.
