Meeting Lanza Morales \| Mazmorra Rescue \| Missions in Riscos Altos

Guide to Just Cause 4's Mazmorra Rescue mission in Riscos Altos. Learn how to start the security sequence, find Lanza, and cover his escape.

Hey there! Ready to dive into the Riscos Altos region and tackle the Mazmorra Rescue mission? This one's a bit of a maze, but I'll walk you through it. First off, keep an eye out for those sandstorms. They can mess with your vision and make movement tricky, especially when parachuting – you'll get blown around if you don't tether yourself down. They don't last too long, usually just a minute or so, but they can make things dicey.

Walkthrough:

1. Start the Security Sequence: You'll find La Mazmorra pretty centrally located in Riscos Altos, south of Arena. It's not a huge place on the surface, just a few watchtowers and some destructible junk. Grab a helicopter from one of the towers if you can – it'll make getting around way easier. Head to the center and interact with the marked console. You've got two minutes to hit a console at the bottom of each of the three watchtower areas. Don't worry about the antennas yet; blowing them up could drop them right on the console and waste precious time. Once all three consoles are activated, head back to the center and hit the next console to ride the elevator down into the real La Mazmorra.
2. Find Lanza's Location: Down here, space is tight, so you need to be quick with eliminating enemies. A soldier will try to hop on the .50 cal if you let him, so take him out fast. As you round the corner, watch out for a Defender soldier and a weapon crate to your right. When the hall turns right again, prepare for a turret up high and a sniper ahead. There's also a guy outside and one inside the structure. Clear them out, then head inside and use the console.
3. Free Lanza from Cell Block C4: Doors will open ahead, and some soldiers, including a grenadier, will come through. Move forward into A block (specifically A2). It goes down, but also connects to B block. Unless you really need that weapon crate, just turn right and keep an eye out for a ceiling turret. Enemies are everywhere, but prioritize snipers and RPG soldiers. When you get to B2, turn left to reach C block. Drop down and look for the entrance marked with red lights directly across from where you entered. This leads you out of the main cell blocks. You'll see another weapon crate and a sniper ahead, plus a riot shield soldier guarding the actual cell. Press the button to trigger a cutscene.
4. Cover Lanza's Escape: Now you need to escort Lanza out. A Defender LMG soldier is blocking the way back to the cell block. As Lanza moves from C to D block, you'll encounter a
