Complete Desperados III Lousiana Voodoo walkthrough including how to free Kate, Hector, and Cooper, and complete challenges like 'Don't touch the water'.
Walkthrough
- 1The mission begins with Isabelle imprisoned. Use her mind control to possess a bandit and escape.
- 2Grab the cage keys and unlock the door. You can drop boxes to kill bandits and shoot the Poncho who investigates. Be aware that shooting while possessing an enemy takes time and can alert others.
- 3Proceed, avoiding the water to complete a challenge. Defeat the two enemies ahead, then a third near a corner. Take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) behind a wagon.
- 4Find a page to unlock Isabelle's cat ability and use it to distract enemies.
- 5Hide in bushes and deal with three enemies ahead. You can eliminate them one by one, which helps with the 'Don't use Isabelle's connect ability' challenge.
- 6Proceed to the marked point to complete the first objective.
- 7Advance to a large open area. Sneak to a boulder, cause an environmental kill on a guard, and defeat the investigating bandit.
- 8The Poncho on the shack roof will investigate the fallen guard. Hide in bushes and take him down.
- 9Distract one of two enemies with Isabelle's cat, then take down the other.
- 10To defeat a patrolling enemy, leave a body to lure him into an isolated area. Take him down when out of sight of other bandits.
- 11Walk on a wooden plank and use the cat to distract a bandit near a cannon. Return and take down the bandit behind sandbags.
- 12After this, you must choose to either free Cooper or complete one of the mission's challenges.
- 13Free Kate or Hector first: To attempt this, return to the point where you grabbed the last page and jump into the water.
- 14Rescuing Kate: Swim northwest and hide in bushes. Locate Kate's cage and a hidden dev on a nearby tower.
- 15Climb a vine, hide in bushes, then climb the tower to defeat Toby “Leisurly” Daltonin. Clear the area around Kate's cage, leaving only a patrolling Long Coat.
- 16Hide, possess the bandit carrying materials, grab the keys, and unlock Kate's cage. You can then shoot the Poncho with the possessed character.
- 17Rescuing Hector: With Kate freed, take down the Long Coats to free Hector. Grab the keys. Take down enemies near the water and hide. Lure a patrolling bandit by leaving a body, then take him down when he investigates.
- 18A hidden dev is on a nearby tower. To deal with the Poncho near Hector's cage, possess him, climb ladders, and shoot Leo “See No Evil” Longley from the sniping point.
- 19Distract the Poncho above the ladder and unlock Hector's cage.
- 20With both Kate and Hector free, meet up with McCoy.
- 21Rescuing McCoy: Hide in bushes and lure an enemy on the rope bridge. The Poncho is stationary. Take down both enemies.
- 22Cross the bridge to find McCoy's cabin. Climb down vines with Isabelle and take down the bandit near the toilet while others are talking.
- 23When enemies separate, take down the bandit near the plants. The bandit searching the area will be vulnerable; defeat him.
- 24Use the cat to distract a bandit on the cabin's side and take him down.
- 25A Poncho is at the front door, in view of another Poncho. Jump into the water and swim around to the plants near the shacks to clear the area.
- 26Take down enemies near the plants and have Hector assist. Lure a bandit guarding barrels to a trap outside enemy view.
- 27Defeat the bandit near the plants, and the other will search; take him down when out of sight.
- 28Coordinate to take down both Ponchos, enter the cabin, and meet McCoy. Deal with the Long Coat inside.
- 29Rescuing Cooper: The bridge to the island is watched by Ponchos. Position McCoy on the broken bridge and swim with Isabelle to the bushes. Use the cat to distract a bandit.
