11.7 - Last Stand
This, ladies and gentleman, is the last mission of the story. Before you
even enter the marker to start it, make sure you have an assault rifle with
lots of ammo and an RPG with several rounds of ammo as well. THE RPG IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU!! Being of full health and armor doesn't hurt as
well.You begin this mission on your way to go take out the remaining Mendez brother. You are in the Hunter helicopter and Diaz is giving you your words of encouragement before you lift off. When the discussion is done, lift off from the helipad and head toward Mendez's penthouse over near the arena. As you approach the marker, you will see the marker turn into many red markers. These guys are all on the two exposed floors of the building that you see in front of you. If you are pretty good with the helo, you should not have much of a problem here. Keep your distance from the building, but get level with the two exposed floors. There are guards on both floors, so you will have to adjust up and down a bit to make sure you can get all of them. Rain rocket hell on those two floors by hitting the circle button. Just keep blasting away. Creep sideways all the way around all 4 sides of the building and just keep dumping rockets into those open floors and watch the red marks just disappear from your radar. Some of the guards will respawn and you will have to circle the building about two times until eventually there are no more. (At some point while you are hammering away at this building, you will pop one of the 99 Red Balloons). When all the guards on those floors are gone, you will get shot down by someone on the roof with an RPG. You can't avoid it, it's part of the mission, so just watch the cutscene as Vic barely drops the Hunter onto the roof and walks away before it explodes.
You're now standing on the roof near a doorway and some treats that have been left there for you. You can take the treats if you wish, but if you followed my advice at the beginning, you won't need them. Take the extra RPG's just because they're free. When you're ready to proceed, enter the blue marker at the door. You come out onto an office floor with Mendez goons all over the place. Stand where you are for one moment and one will walk out right in front of you. Auto aim him and take him down. Now creep a little bit at at time around the wall, looking to your left. As each goon comes into your view, auto aim him and take him down. Sometimes you'll have more than one come into view at a time and you'll have to be quick with your aim and fire routine. When the goons on your left are gone, you can turn your attention to the right. There are a couple more goons in this room with you, so take them down. There are a few in the next room you can get from here without entering the doorway. Kill as many as you can before you enter the next area. When you've done so, rush in and quickly shoot down anyone that is left. Goons do not respawn in these areas, so once the floor is empty, it will stay that way. If you need it, look around, there is armor nearby. When you are again ready, enter the next marker to go down to yet another floor. Once again, you are met by maby goons waiting for your entry. You can run straight out and to your right to get behind some file cabinets so you can once again do your creep and auto aim technique. Once you've cleared everyone from this room, you can move forward and start picking off the goons in the next room before you enter the door. You can get all but two of the goons in the other room without passing through the door, and one of those two you can get with the sniper rifle if you have it because you can just see the top of his head over a copy machine. If you manage that, you need only rush the room and kill the remaining goon.
Now you get a cut scene and a helicopter is landing on the roof. Your buddy Martinez has shown up to join in the fight. Looks like it's going to be a two for the price of one mission for you today! Head for the new marker at the end of the hall so you can climb back up to a higher floor. When you arrive at the next floor, you are automatically met with some armor, so you know it's not about to get fun. Enter this next area and clear out any goons you see on the radar, usually only two. Quickly look for an area where you can hide behind some file cabinets out of view of a helicopter that will appear outside the windows to fire at you. Things will now get a little bit mechanical now which will help you get through this part of the mission. When the helo is done firing, it will pause briefly and stare through the window at you, then it will rise up out of sight. When it is out of view, two goons will enter the floor from whatever half of the building you are NOT on. Be ready for them when they approach and take them down with your assault rifle before they even get close. As soon as they are dead, run back behind the file cabinets, because the helo comes back and sprays the room with more bullets. When it's done, it will again briefly pause and stare through the windows. Take this opportunity to dash out from behind the cabinets, pull up your RPG, quickly aim and fire a round into the helo. Once you've hit it, or missed it for that matter, it will rise back up out of view. Once again, two goons enter the floor from whatever half of the building you are NOT on. Take them out as before. This pattern will repeat over and over again until you run out of ammo or you manage to put two RPG's into the helo. To save yourself some time and make that a little easier, switch to the RPG while you are hiding behind the cabinets waiting for the helo to stop firing. Then just run out, aim, you should only need a quick adjustment and fire. It shouldn't take you long at all to take down the helo. When it's gone, it's time to move on to the final showdown of the game.
If you need it, some of the goons you killed during this goon/helo rotation scene will drop armor. You should also find some health as well on your way to the next marker which will put you back on the roof. When you pop up on the roof, you'll get a cut scene. Diego Mendez and Martinez are both there waiting for you. Martinez will throw around some insults, at pretty much everyone present, and then it will be time to begin the final battle. If you are looking for a big challenging battle here, prepare to be very disappointed, because this is surprisingly over very quickly. When you have control again, turn around and run up onto the slanted roof above the door you just came out of. When you get up top, you look down and Mendez and Martinez are standing right next to each other. Auto aim with your assault rifle and hold the trigger until the first one dies. Switch over and auto aim on whoever is left and do the same. You won't get hit by more than a couple of rounds and you'll never have to move from your spot. You don't even get time to talk shit. Boom, Boom, they're dead. Final cut scene, mission over, game over, roll credits.
If this is all you have done in the game so far, congratulations on having completed less than 40% of the game!
