Rescue Alvarez | Walkthrough Mafia III Guide
Last update: 15 November 2016
Below, you can find the walkthrough for the story mission where you have to find and rescue Alvarez, who has become the target for Sal Marcano. You can start this mission only after you complete missions connected with taking over rackets in Southdowns, i.e. "Gambling" and "Black Market". Before you start this mission, make sure that you have a full supply of adrenaline shots and a bulletproof vest. Also, it would be good if you got a good automatic weapon and explosives - these will come in handy while eliminating Marcano's men.
Note - It may seem, basing on the mission description that you have to hurry to your destination. The mission proper starts only after you get to the lighthouse.
You start the mission by meeting Donovan in the hotel. Then, head towards the lighthouse at the Southern end of the marshes. Get out of the car after you get sufficiently close to the lighthouse. Around, there are several of Marcano's men. Since it's night and the opponents should be standing away from each other, the best way to eliminate them is silently and by surprise. You can make an exception for the two men banging at the door of the lighthouse. After you kill them, kick the door down to meet with Alvarez.
After you regain control of Lincoln, you will have to fight Marcano's men who start arriving. During the fights, try to use a good rifle or automatic weapon, as well as covers. Apart from that, you can use molotovs, grenades and shoot red explosive drums whenever enemies are standing by them. You have to get to the garage shown in the above screenshot. Inside, there is a car that you can escape on.
Now, there is a long car chase, but you should be harassed by gangsters only at the beginning. Try to gun down the cars and shoot the tires. You should watch out, because you will encounter, at least, one road block. Try to ram between two cars to prevent any heavy damage to your car. If, in spite of your attempts, you will destroy the car, or it overturns, you can change your vehicle, but you will expose yourself to attacks, this way (you can blow the cars up with grenades).
After you get to Father James, this mission will end, which unlocks the next story mission in Southdowns - "Kill Tommy Marcano".
