How to unlock the Into the Den achievement in Just Cause 2 - Definitive Guide
Before starting, I recommend having a machine gun fully upgraded or at least Level 3/4.
The first part of the mission has you invade three posts, each with an anti-aircraft gun. Real simple, kill the guards, destroy the AA turret. There is a cable car that goes from stop to stop you can take it or if you are psycho like me, jump and parachute climb to the next. After each AA gun is taken out an engineer can land to help get the base open.
After all three AA guns are taken out you can get in the base by activating a switch to open the Mount Rushmore-esque entrance. Run across, a cutscene opens, and now comes the hard part: escaping the base. Focus first on shooting down the helicopter (with the upgraded Machine Gun I recommended entering the mission with). Don't bother trying to hijack it, for you will likely get put down by the hordes of enemies shooting from below before you can start piloting it. Once the heli is destroyed, make your way down to the center taking out any and preferrably all enemies (shouldn't be too hard), activate the switch, and quickly grapple to the entrance way you came in on. I mistakenly believed you had to grapple to the roof and escape out the top but I obviously didn't make it.
Once outside, the achievement and sixty gamerscore is yours, but beware the seventh and final mission begins right where this one ends so once you enter this mission you are in the endgame.
Also I noticed as you reach 400,000 they start to up the anti a little bit by increasing the number of road blocks ect...
This is story related and cannot be missed. You need to complete the sixth story mission in the game to unlock it. This is quite a long mission with alot of enemies & will get frustrating if you are on the hardest difficulty. If you take your time & run past alot of the enemies then this will make it easy.
Part 1: When the mission starts you will need to choose a faction to help you in this mission, choose the Roaches, Ular Boys or Reapers. Don’t worry, the faction missions/stronghold takeovers won’t disappear for whoever you choose. After you choose your faction & the cut-scenes have finished you will be in an enemy base.
Part 2: Whilst in this base you need to follow all of the objective markers & kill any enemies that get in your way. Whichever faction you choose will do most of the work for you, so just stay behind them and try not to die. You will eventually come to a cut-scene where a tank like vehicle bursts through a wall, unfortunately this is where the people of your faction will die.
Part 3: This is now the frustrating bit, you need to go to 3 AA guns and blow them up. There are alot of enemies near the 3 guns and will do anything to stop you, here is what I done:
– Go to the first AA gun & climb up the hill behind it. This will keep you out of the enemies’ firing line which means you have more of a chance to stay alive. Throw 2 C4 sticks on to the gun and detonate them.
– Once the gun is blown up the faction who is with you on this mission will drop in a technician to override its controls. Just stay with the technician killing any enemies that shoot at him until you are told to move on to the next gun.
– Do the same methods for guns 2 & 3
You will then be told to go a final control panel located near a big bunker like door. Interact with the control panel to open this door and go inside.
Part 4: Once inside the big door make your way directly across the room to an objective marker at the ‘personal quarters’, a cut-scene will now play. After the cut-scene there are two different methods you can do:
1. Shoot down the enemy helicopter as quickly as you can, I recommend you have the assault rifle fully upgraded at this point to help deal alot more damage. Then go all the way down to the bottom taking care of any enemies as you go & interact with another control panel.
2. Try and be as lucky as you can and heads straight down to the bottom ignoring all enemies and interact with the control panel.
With whatever method you choose you need to use the control panel. Here you will need to press the buttons in the correct order that they are in, this is random. Once all of this is done just make your way to the final objective marker which is the exit & which will end the mission.
