Idol Threat Walkthrough

Objectives:
1
Talk to Eli

After arriving at the Church, a short cutscene will play out that shows what happens to Kevin. You will be then given control over the Boss again – walk forward to talk to Eli.
2
Check Out the Snake Oil Saloon

You will then be tasked with finding Kevin. Eli will inform you that his phone is at the Snake Oil Saloon. Pick out any of the vehicles outside the Church and head to the Saloon.
3
Bar Fight!

After a short cutscene, walk towards the Idol member who's fiddling with the Jukebox. Press the button prompts on screen to beat him up – this will trigger a bar fight.

Use your fists to knock out the other Idols in the saloon.
4
Shoot Until Somebody Talks

After beating up the Idols, head outside and to the back of the Saloon where you'll find other Idols. Whip out your gun and start gunning them down.

Once all Idols are gone, you will be given a new objective on your HUD – head to the portable toilet to trigger a cutscene.
5
Wreck the Idol's Camp

After the portable toilet has been hooked up to your car, head to the Idol's Camp. Drive straight through the tents and other fixtures in the area to begin destroying the camp.
6
Get to the Santo Ileso Sign

The survivor will eventually crack after wrecking the camp – head up to the Santo Ileso Sign on top of the mountain, and battle against the Idols there.
7
Disarm the Bombs

You'll eventually come across a flight of stairs heading to the top of the sign – walk up these stairs and disable the bombs that you encounter along the way.

At the top, after disabling the last bomb, untie Kevin and use your wingsuit to head down to the mansion below with Kevin to gatecrash the Idol's party.
8
Crash the Party

Proceed through the mansion grounds, killing any Idol that comes along your way. By the very end of the linear path, you'll meet the Collective member who you'll have to kill in order to finish the mission.

Tips and Strategies

Drift and Destroy

During the section where you'll need to destroy the Idol Camp, you can do it faster if you drift and let the attached portable toilet to wreck tents alongside your vehicle.

Ignore the Helicopter

During the ascent up to the Santa Ileso sign as well as the assault on the mansion, an enemy helicopter will fly above you. Although you can cause it damage, it is much better for you to save your ammunition on the actual Idol enemies you encounter on the ground, particularly the Collective member.
