Story Mission 3-1: Rico and the Rose

Rosa Manuela is coming back from out of hiding to aid in the revolution as the political leader, but surely Di Ravello’s soldiers will try to rip her plane to shreds. Rico needs to fly out there and protect her at all costs.

Take the plane to your left and when you’re within 2km a cutscene will start. After that, just use the homing missiles to take out any jets coming at her. At the same time, though, go as fast as you can, because you will have to catch up with her plane as soon as the jets stop coming.

Tether on to her plane and land it at the rebel hideout of Insula Fonte, an entire region (albeit small) named Umbra. She will thank you and talk with the rebels over the revolution, but first she will stumble upon someone a thorn in your side.

Story Mission 3-2: Derailed Extraction

Before you start this mission, take an RPG with you, because Di Ravello is trying to take Bavarium to an airport by train, and you’ll be on a train coming from the other direction.

Two will drop you off above the train you’ll be riding, and once you do you’ll be attacked by helicopters galore, as well as two vehicles from behind. During the ride, take out the helicopters swiftly by tethering them to the ground and reeling them in.

At two points of your ride will be vehicles coming in from behind, so either launch an RPG missile at the front or detach the train at the location the game tells you to. Soon enough, you will be coming up onto the target train, so pull out your RPG and launch a missile into the front, destroying both yours and Di Ravello’s trains simultaneously.

Story Mission 3-3: The Great Escape

Annika’s old crew has been captured and sent to work in Di Ravello’s mines as slaves. She is insisting that you get them out of there, so swoop to the entrance to the prison to find that Di Ravello has closed the door on you.

In the first room, there are two buttons to press; one is on the left side, and the other is on the right. After pressing both, you’ll have to hack a computer. Luckily, the guards in this room never can get any backup because they’re locked in too, so take your time killing all the guards to ensure your safety.

The second room is just about the same, but the right button is more near the middle of the room while the left one is still near the left perimeter. Again, press these buttons and hack the computer when you’re ready.

The last room has two generators to destroy, but getting to the buttons is pretty hazardous. There will be several accurate soldiers as well as a gatling gun soldier, so try to take out the gatling soldier first. Take out all the guards before pressing the first button, then running back to a hiding spot to kill the new guards that spawn. Destroy the respective generator, and then do the same for the second one.

Annika and Teo will now be attacked, so fly up through the hole in the roof of the generator room to them and take out the enemies before they kill one of them. After they’re down, two vehicles will drive in; once they’re taken care of, the mission will end.

Story Mission 3-4: Bavarium on a Plane

At the beginning of the mission, Sheldon will try to make amends for how things have been going in Medici. Before things get too awkward, Dimah shows up, and Sheldon uses the opportunity to distract them all with the info that a plane holding a car bomb is about to take off from the nearby airport.

Take the car at the start (Dimah and Sheldon are inside) to the airport by following the arrows on the road. You could off-road it, but it’s risky and might not give you enough time. Once on the strip, drive into the cargo hold of the plane.

There will be only two guys guarding the cargo hold, so take them out and head for the roof. Jets will come in groups of four, so grapple them to either another jet or the cargo plane itself. The plane won’t take any damage unless by a jet’s missiles.

Once close enough to Citate di Ravello, get back to the cargo hold and drive the car bomb off the plane and get out of it before it hits the water. Sheldon will close this mission with an old remark from the Agency’s Panau days.

Story Mission 3-5: The Watcher on the Wall

Di Ravello’s forces are coming in to take Zeno and kill as many rebels as they can. First will be a lot of land troops and a tank, followed by two helicopters. Hijack the tank to make this wave of enemies a breeze.

The next three or so waves of enemies will be purely helicopters, so either stay in the tank or use an AA-gun on top of the wall to take them out. After this will be jets in pairs of two, followed by a small amount of land troops. The troops should actually be your first priority since they fire at a faster rate than the jets fire their missiles accurately.

Taking out all the enemies will result in Zeno flying right past you after being broken out of his cell. A rebel will arrive with a motorcycle for you to use, so drive it until you can wingsuit up to him and grapple onto his helicopter. Use GE-64 or some other means to kill Zeno, and you’ll be set for the next mission.

Story Mission 3-6: Bavarium Blackout

Note: Before you can start this mission, you must first liberate three provinces in the region of Insula Striate.

Dimah will fill you in that Insula Striate’s FOW is no different from the others, so just follow the pipes and wait for Dimah to hack open the door.

Hop down inside and be wary of a heavy soldier carrying a gatling gun. To clear this mission the fastest, take him out and use the gatling gun or bring some other powerful weapon. To do it the safest, take out every single guard and then dispose of the generators at your own pace. Like always, there will be an alternative exit nearby.

Misc Achievement: Top of the World

The end of Bavarium Blackout is a great opportunity to get to the highest point in Medici. Here is a video showing you how to get there, starting at the end of the aforementioned mission.

Story Mission 3-7: The Shatterer of Worlds

Note: Before you can start this mission, you must first liberate the province of Falco, which has only one location, Falco Maxime: CentCom.

This is another war across a region of Medici, this time it will be the last one: Insula Striate. The first battle to win will be the killing of only a few snipers while rebels drive through Citrate Di Ravello. Snipers have very low health, so you should have no trouble here.

The second battle will be on the outskirts of Citate di Ravello. Tons of ground troops and tanks are moving in on the rebels here, so hack both SAM sites here and rebel air support will fly in to assist you. To speed things up, you could also hijack a tank and blast away at the enemy.

The third and final battle will be quite a ways away, but luckily for you there is a jet nearby for you to use. Three other jets will be flying around an island, so use your homing missiles to destroy them easily. The last thing you have to do is meet Dimah at Falco Maxime’s central command tower as she destroys all knowledge of Bavarium.

Story Mission 3-8: Son of Medici

Di Ravello has fled to that volcano on the top left of the map. After finding Annika and Teo at the celebration held by Rosa Manuela, take a jet to the volcano. Your friends insist that once you’re down there, Di Ravello will have to come out.

Di Ravello does show himself, but he’s in a golden Urga Mstitel, the most powerful helicopter in the game. The Bavarium shielding, as well as the light around you, is red, so you may have a hard time gauging how much damage you’ve taken. Dodge his missiles, and when his shield is down, pelter him with everything you’ve got (or tether his Mstitel to the ground and reel him in for a fight lasting less than a minute).

Di Ravello will emerge from the wreckage, alive, saying that he cannot be defeated by Rico Rodriguez. He will start monologuing, so shoot him whenever you feel like it when given the prompt.
