·Multi-source verified (53/53)

Armando Mendez is the other, often more cunning, Mendez brother. Your final showdown with Armando is usually a more dynamic encounter, potentially involving a chase or a more complex environment. He might be in a vehicle or on foot in a heavily guarded area. If it's a vehicle chase, use drive-by shootings or try to ram his vehicle until it explodes. If on foot, treat him like a heavily armored enemy, using your most powerful weapons. He will also have numerous bodyguards. The mission 'Light My Pyre' also features Armando. The key is to maintain constant pressure and not allow him to escape or regroup. Defeating Armando is essential for completing the main narrative and securing your position in Vice City.
