Complete walkthrough for Act 1: Pyrrhic Victory in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Includes enemy intel locations, mortar and tank elimination, and navigating jungle stealth sections.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin the mission on the side of a truck. Wait for it to stop, then disembark and eliminate enemies with machetes. Follow the truck.
- 2Locate Enemy Intel #01 [1/3] behind a truck on its side to the right.
- 3Interact with the 'access' door to pick up mortars and eliminate the marked mortar crews.
- 4Once mortar crews are down, call in an airstrike to destroy four tanks by manually controlling the helicopter's rockets.
- 5Return to ground level and eliminate the gunners on the back of two machine gun trucks (one on the left, one obscured by rocks on the right).
- 6Defend yourself and use the airstrike when prompted. As the gunship, destroy four tanks, then another five on a second run (destroying all 13 tanks completes a challenge).
- 7Climb onto the side of the truck and shoot enemies until a scene plays.
- 8Regain control on a transport barge. Use shipping containers for cover and clear enemies from the deck and the higher front deck.
- 9Open the 'access' crate at the front of the boat for a flak jacket.
- 10Use the gun turrets to destroy incoming gunboats (around 6 total). The right turret can take down the first three and the fifth; the left turret can destroy the fourth and sixth (sinking five boats with turrets fulfills a challenge). If boats are not destroyed, you will be boarded and must kill 3-4 soldiers.
- 11Find [ enemy intelligence (2/3) ] behind a corner next to the top deck turret.
- 12Drop to the lower deck, meet Hudson, and open the cargo container for a scene.
- 13Grab the Valkyrie launcher and shoot the attacking helicopter a few times until another scene plays.
- 14Swim to the beach and follow Hudson into the jungle and then to the village.
- 15Follow Hudson's instructions for stealth, taking cover under a log and crouching/stopping/running as he does.
- 16After passing patrols, interact with the 'access' door for animal traps and pick up the sniper rifle leaning against the shack.
- 17Continue up the dirt path, crawl through grass, and hop through a window. Approach the radio operator for a scene.
- 18Sprint back to Hudson and follow him down the road. Defend against enemies from the sniper platform on the left.
- 19Climb into the sniper tower on the far right to find [ enemy intelligence (3/3) ].
- 20Defend the area until Hudson pops smoke, then retreat and jump down the waterfall.
- 21Look back above the waterfall and kill the machine gunner on the back of the truck that appears.
- 22Follow Hudson to the next defend point. Eliminate the gunner on the machine gun truck on the ridge to the left.
- 23Focus attacks on defending the ramp to the left of the waterfall.
- 24Follow Hudson to the beach to complete the mission after a brief scene.
