***Story Mission 9-A- Make Elvez Sing***
The Virgilios, grateful for your aid to them against Morales and forgiving of
your past issues with their gang, have provided you with a speedboat to
infiltrate Elvez Gonzales's hacienda. Head for Puerto to pick it up (gold dot).
The boat's a piece of junk, but it will meet your needs. Marco advises you to
use stealth on this mission, since you need to make Elvez talk, not shut up
permanently. Unfortunately Ram doesn't know how to be stealthy...
After infiltrating the hacienda with a daring stunt jump into the swimming
pool, Ram finds himself faced with some very dangerous new enemies. Apparently
Elvez employs a great number of ex-Octopussy employees (see the James Bond
movie Octopussy if you don't know what I'm talking about) as bodyguards/Girls
Friday. These beauties are fun to look at, but their guns and attitudes can
kill you. Oh well, we gotta stay true to Angel anyway, right? :) Elvez also has
a lot of personal security guards and other servants protecting him, all of
whom must be defeated before we can make him talk.
Your first task is to get out of the pool and gun down the gals in bathing
suits lounging around it and their attending boytoys. Collect everyone's ammo.
Be wary of the many Peeping Toms ogling from the balcony- they put their
cameras away and pull out guns pretty quick. Also look out for the two guys
manning the bar in the middle of the pool- they start tossing Molotovs.
Eliminate everyone! Grab the Health and Rewind when the area is clear. Then hit
the switch on the bar to open the courtyard gates.
Okay, Elvez is on the terrace on the other side of the hacienda. Ram needs to
head through the mansion courtyard to get to him. More enemies have entered the
pool area, so whack 'em. Now enter the courtyard and take on the goons in this
area. Be quick to eliminate the two guys on the balcony flinging grenades.
Health and a Save Spot are up there, more Health and a Rewind on the lower
floor. More goons enter through the garden door once you eliminate most of
those inside the courtyard. Take them out, save, and then head into the garden.
A hedge maze awaits you. Circle to the far right first to find two gardeners
protecting a shed that contains a rake and a Combo Skull. Now head for the gold
dot on your radar, being careful not to get lost too much. :) Some goons are
patrolling the maze, and more wait on the terrace at the other end of it. Whack
them, then head through the gold double doors on the left to return to the
courtyard. Save there, then head for the gold dot again- bypassing the hedge
maze through those now-open doors this time. Note that the pool area is now
inaccessible.
There's another Save Spot near the other end of the terrace, and a few goons
are protecting it. Take them out and then head down the boardwalk to the
waterline. You need to find a way up to where Elvez is. You will soon reach a
cave where the rickety walkway collapses behind you. Grab the Health and head
in. More goons are protecting the boat moored at the dock here. Take them out,
being careful not to fall in the water. Ram will automatically jump back out,
but falling might spoil whatever stunt you were attempting at the time. Blow up
all boxes and barrels and be sure to pick up the rocket launcher. Jump on to
the boat after every bad guy is dead to cause a door to open for more security.
The boat has some convienent turrets on it you can use to kill them. Also climb
up to the top of the boat and use this high perch to eliminate the sniper
behind the spotlight on the cliff wall. There's also Health, Armor, and a
Rewind on the boat if you need them. Now head through the open doorway. In this
storage area you find the dead DEA agents from the Carne Ceasar ambush
including Pierrson. Apparently their coffins were to be used in smuggling
weapons and narcotics. That no-good Papa Muerte! Johnson's jacket is here too,
but you don't see his body. Hmmm. Anyway, kill all the goons and use the Save
Spot. The weapon crates here contain lots of Grenades and M4s.
Climb the ladders to access the spotlight perch that shielded a sniper
earlier. He was guarding some Health you might need. Now return to the storage
area and take the elevator up. You'll find yourself in Elvez's office. Grab his
Health and guns and then head out to the terrace where you'll find the playboy
lounging in a hot tub with a pair of especially beautiful ex-Octopussys. Ram
threatens him and Elvez reveals that Papa Muerte is his employer. Also General
Montanez, a notoriously corrupt Mexican army leader, is in charge of delivering
the weapons that were to be smuggled across the border in the DEA agents'
coffins. Of course, as soon as Ram turns his back, the girls pull out M4s and
start shooting. Two more run in from behind you wielding machetes, followed by
another with an AK. Take out all the ladies and chase after the fleeing Elvez.
More girls rush to protect him- whack these as well. Elvez himself joins the
battle with an M4- use Loco Moves to quickly deplete his life bar.
Of course as soon as he falls, more goons run in from the mansion to avenge
their employer. Angel also calls on the radio, informing you that the Mexican
military is sending a team to the hacienda. Oh boy. Take out the goons and head
onto a balcony overlooking the garden terrace through Elvez's office. More
ex-Octopussys will meet you there, and another pair wait in the hall past the
door. Admire the nice artwork and then head through here to the courtyard
balcony. Use the Save Spot. Then head through the now-open third set of double
doors downstairs. More goons are waiting in the front yard of the mansion. Use
the cars and giant topiary chihuahua(!) for cover as you take them out. A
butler with dual Uzis is in the gatehouse- waste him and hit the switch in
there. For fun, take the street racer in the garage and drive it out the
now-open gates. Mission Completed!
