Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the airplane hangar, your objectives are to turn off the fuel flow, retrieve Emily's logbook, and open the hangar doors.
  2. 2
    As Leo, go outside and interact with the helicopter to unlock the "Mayday!" achievement.
  3. 3
    Both characters must play the arcade game "Grenades" in the hangar to unlock the "Break From Reality" achievement.
  4. 4
    Turn off the fuel flow at the large white gas tanks connected to the plane.
  5. 5
    Detach the hose from the bottom of the plane.
  6. 6
    Grab the logbook from the table near the arcade machine and give it to Emily.
  7. 7
    Push the large hangar doors open.
  8. 8
    Board the plane to take off.
  9. 9
    You have two options: parachute down or land the plane. Parachuting is recommended for a more engaging experience.
  10. 10
    If you parachute, Leo will lose his parachute, and Vincent must grab him and deploy his own. Float down to the ground marker.
  11. 11
    After landing, follow the jungle path. Have one character hoist the other up a small cliff.
  12. 12
    Enemies will appear; flank them by going down a slope and on either side. If unsuccessful, shoot them.
  13. 13
    More enemies will arrive; take cover behind large rocks and eliminate them.
  14. 14
    Head towards the compound and pry open a metal sheet together.
  15. 15
    Use a short wall for cover and head to a ladder on the opposite side.
  16. 16
    Climb the ladder and enter the building. Take cover behind walls and plant boxes.
  17. 17
    Go through a crawlspace in the corner, climb a ladder, and ambush the sniper.
  18. 18
    One character takes the sniper rifle, the other stays on the ground. The sniper eliminates enemies while the ground character advances and takes cover.
  19. 19
    More enemies will appear; the ground character takes cover while the sniper eliminates them. Alternatively, the ground character can engage.
  20. 20
    Reach a large brown door and pull it open together.
  21. 21
    Follow the path over a wooden bridge further into the compound.
  22. 22
    Push a dumpster simultaneously.
  23. 23
    In the deepest part of the compound, use stealth. Take sides, observe patrolling guards' predictable patterns, and perform stealth takedowns. If a firefight occurs, use sandbags and building walls for cover.
  24. 24
    Push a light blue truck off a cliff.
  25. 25
    Follow the path off the rooftop, down a slope, to a weapons cache. You can change weapons here.
  26. 26
    Shoot the lock on the gate to open it. Ram the brown door simultaneously to enter the interior.
  27. 27
    Inside, take cover behind barrels and crates.
  28. 28
    One character picks up a red gas can and throws it. The other character shoots the gas can to cause an explosion.
  29. 29
    Walk through the compound and pick up a fallen pillar so both characters can exit to the pool area.
  30. 30
    In the pool area, take cover behind plant boxes and a statue. Engage enemies. Advance your position and split up, with one character on the left and the other on the right.
  31. 31
    Open double doors to find Harvey. Take cover behind counters and eliminate enemies. Advance to the cover positions in front of you.
  32. 32
    After clearing the ground floor, go up either set of stairs to fight the enemy with the grenade launcher. Both characters must engage to trigger a cutscene.
  33. 33
    After the cutscene, you face a choice:
  34. 34
    Vincent's Way: As Vincent, go right near the glass panel and push Harvey into it. Leo then shoots Harvey. Continue shooting Harvey until he falls into the pool.
  35. 35
    Leo's Way: Similar to Vincent's way, but Leo is initially held hostage by Harvey. This choice determines who is temporarily held hostage.
  36. 36
    After Harvey is dealt with, escape on dirt bikes. Stick to the paths and drive cleanly and quickly to avoid gunfire. Enemy vehicles may collide during the escape.
Tips
  • Parachuting down is more entertaining than landing the plane.
  • When flanking enemies after the cliff hoist, coordinate your movements.
  • Utilize cover extensively, especially during firefights.
  • Stealth is highly effective in the deeper parts of the compound due to predictable guard patterns.
  • Splitting up in the pool area can be advantageous for flanking enemies.
  • During the final confrontation with Harvey, advancing your cover position is crucial.
  • When escaping on dirt bikes, maintaining speed and sticking to paths will help avoid enemy fire.
