Showdown Walkthrough

Objectives:
1
Get to the Nahualli's Hideout

Fly towards the Bikini Atoll Casino to start your final assault against the Nahualli and his men.
2
Take Out the Defenses

Using the VTOL's laser and rockets, destroy the enemy helicopters and take out the rocketeers around the casino.
3
Enter the Casino

Land the VTOL and defeat the Nahualli grunts guarding the entrance on foot. Afterward, make your way inside to trigger a cutscene.
4
Rescue Your Friends

After the cutscene ends, start gunning your way through the casino to rescue Kevin, Neenah, and Eli. This section involves going through several hallways filled with Nahualli's men, so prepare to engage in multiple firefights. Reaching the Pacific Theater will trigger a cutscene.
5
Defeat the Nahualli

After the cutscene ends, the first combat section against the Nahualli begins. Chase and shoot the Nahualli down as he slowly retreats up the theater. Prioritize taking down his men first to avoid taking too much damage.
6
Catch the Nahualli

The Nahualli will eventually manage to escape the theater. Gun your way through the halls as you chase him down and follow him up the casino using the elevator.
7
Destroy the Nahualli's Helicopter

At the top of the casino, the Nahualli appears riding a helicopter. Grab up the rocket launcher on the ground and start blasting away to knock him out of the sky.

During this section, the Nahualli can burn down the room you're in, forcing you to switch locations. He does this twice, with each new room containing several Nahualli grunts, so prepare for a troublesome battle.
8
Kill the Nahualli

After taking down the helicopter, a cutscene will trigger, leading up to the final showdown with the Nahualli. Complete the quick-time event to kill Nahualli once and for all. Finishing this section completes the mission.
