Mindseye Guide: Missions 7-9
Mission 7: This Means War
Back to top ↑
When you gain control of Jacob Diaz, you'll be driving with Rigby and need to lose your tail. Thanks to the terrible AI in this game, you can actually cheese this encounter by ramming into the car as hard as you can. They don't bat an eyelid, nor does it end the mission.
If you do it enough you can actually destroy the car quite a bit but a better idea is to ram them over the bollards so they take an age to follow you (pictured below).
Either way, once they're out of sight, be sure to cross back and forth over the streets to properly lose them, then head back to base. Depending on how quickly you lose the tail, you might have a 3 mile trek.
When you get near the base, it'll trigger another cutscene. In the middle of this, we'll have a QTE section to complete.
You need to press L2 and R2 at the exact same time when the circles hit the middle of the crosshairs. If you miss over 50% of these, you'll need to replay this section until you get it right.
After the chess compressions, you'll now need to give mouth to mouth. The game doesn't tell you this but you need to move both the left and right analog sticks in-sync up and down following the wave to get through this section. Again, if you miss too much, you'll need to replay it from the beginning again.
With this complete, you'll gain the Achievement: Razed Anatomy.
Mission 8: Robin Hood
Back to top ↑
At the start of the mission, get in your car and drive to the target area. A cutscene will trigger when you get near to the trailer park and then you'll be heading in by foot.
To begin with, circle around the trailer park to the left (south on the map) until you find a camper you can climb up to enter the area (pictured below).
Inside the trailer park, you'll need to find the pictured trailer on the right hand side of your screen. This is quite easy to find from this spot – take a left and head all the way west in the trailer park to find it.
When you get near, a cutscene will trigger. Afterwards, you'll need to fight your way out the trailer park. Be sure to stick to cover and keep moving forward to your car.
Don't forget to scan the area as there are two weapons we can collect from enemies here – Weapon #3: Linebacker & Weapon #4: Wraith.
As you enter your car after grabbing these two weapons, you'll need to chase after the truck on the road.
Don't try to run it off the road, or get too close because it'll fire machine gun fire at you and you have no gun to defend yourself. Just stay back at a comfortable distance and wait for it to enter the residential area. When it does stop, you'll have another shootout.
Make sure you keep cover behind your car and watch your back as this is one of the rare occasions where enemies will flank and attack you.
Watch out for the approaching car too and before approaching the house, be sure to tap down to scan the enemies. Some of them will be holding Weapon #5: DPR.
When you're ready though, approach the house. After another cutscene, we'll now have unlimited ammo in a car with goons incoming. Don't worry about missing, you can literally hold the trigger and keep firing to your heart's content until these guys are dealt with.
It's quite a long section though but eventually Robin Hood will drive you up to Silva's safehouse. Once this is done, you'll gain the Achievement: Robin Hood.
The mission isn't over quite yet though. Get back in your car and drive over to the factory. Then, enter the security office to finally finish this mission.
Mission 9: Meeting Marco Silva
Back to top ↑
After the next cutscene, get in your car and drive over to Silva's house. The path is quite straightforward and when you arrive at the house, you'll have another cutscene.
When you regain control of Jacob, we'll now have the 'exposition and tap forward' part of this game. You literally just need to continue forward, ascending high enough that you don't hit any buildings.
As you approach your target, hover over the helipad and descend, then another cutscene will trigger. When it's done, and Silva is out of commission, we'll now need to fight through a whole bunch of soldiers that show up.
The gun you have has horrible recoil so it's actually a good idea to switch back to your pistol. Either way, stick to cover and keep working your way up the hill. Regardless of if you kill all the enemies or not, enter your car after and chase after the drone.
This mission actually has a good amount of leeway and you can get quite far away from your target without triggering a Game Over. For that reason, it's a good idea to stick to the roads for a while to get some speed up before heading into the wilderness.
Eventually, the drone will land at a gas station and you'll need to fight your way through waves of enemies. If you're trying to brute force your way through and cheese the fight, you can avoid almost all the soldiers and head round the back. If you play it straight, be sure to target the gas pumps to trigger a big explosion and take out some of the enemies in the process.
If you take the path round the back, enemies do spawn here, but it's nowhere near as many from the front. If you sprint through near the end of the path and do end up dying, you'll actually respawn midway through the fight, saving you time.
Either way, stick to cover as often as you can and keep moving west. Eventually you'll reach the drone so hop on inside and ascend, taking it back to Silva's house.
When you get near, another cutscene will trigger and with it, the Achievement: Good First Impression.
