9.4 - High Wire
If you are good at piloting a helicopter in GTA, then this mission is going
to be a welcome relief after the last one. Head over to the marker in
Little Haiti to meet up with Diego and receive your instructions. If you
are a little lost, the marker is just inside the entrance to the junk yard
that you had to rush to in the original Vice City to save Lance. (Seems to
be a theme, saving Lance's ass, huh?) You will be given a helicopter fitted
with a large magnet. Climb in the chopper and take off headed toward the
marker down south in the ports. This first pick up is pretty uneventful,
just lower the helo down over the container and when the magnet is close
enough the container will latch on. When it does, pull up and fly away.
Take the container to the cargo bay now marked on the map. To release the
container, simply lower it into the yellow marker and it will detach when
you are close enough to the ground. The second container is going to be a
little more challenging as it is on the back of a moving vehicle. You have
to snag this container before the truck reaches the police station in Little
Havana, and by the time you fly to it, it's not going to be far from it.
The truck frequently pauses which gives you a good opportunity to grab the
container, and this game seems to be much more forgiving about rotor blades
going through tree limbs and power lines. Unless you actually hit the tree
trunk itself or the light pole itself, it seems to let you get away with
flying through everything else. Catch up with the truck as quick as you can
so you have some time. (When I caught up to it, it was going east down the
hill coming from the hotel by the airport and came to a stop at the
intersection to turn left onto the main road. I snagged it while it was
waiting to turn). Try to get the magnet as flat as you can on the container
and it will soon pick it up. As soon as you have it latched on, pull up
and out of the area to avoid colliding with further obstacles and destroying
your helo. Take this container to the same place you took the first one and
drop it off.There is one last pickup to make, only this time it's not a container, it is Diego Mendez and his car. He is being persued by angry bikers and he needs you to come and pull him out before he gets killed. A damage meter appears on the screen to indicate the health of Diego's car. It is already starting to get beat up and he is way over on the other side of the map, so fly your brains out straight east. He is on a set route, so your best bet to pick him up is going to be on the wide road that runs along the beach on the east side of the east island. The road is wide and has few obstacles, so it should make it easy to get him picked up. If you fly fast and straight, you will more than likely make it to this road before he does and knowing that he will be coming from the north end heading south will help too so you don't start at the wrong end of the road. When he appears with his bikers in tow, make sure you are facing south along with him and get lined up over his car. Lower the magnet onto his roof and as soon as he is latched on, lift quickly up and out to get him away from the bikers. The damage meter will remain on the screen, so I recommend you don't slam the car into buildings on your way over to the parking deck you are going to place him on. The yellow marker for the drop off point will be on the top level of a parking deck located not far from where you picked him up, very close to the Pole Position strip club (although I don't think it has a name on it in this game). Drop him off in the same way you dropped off the containers, and the mission will be over.
