Mission 14 of 26Story mission
Briefing
The Celebinator kept writing, so Tony stops asking for meetings. Luis takes a helicopter up over the water, holds him out of it, and then has to catch him again — which is the part of the arrangement the blogger was not told about.
It is the shortest mission in the episode and one of the most demanding to score: two minutes ten on the clock, no damage at all, and the catch inside eight seconds.
Objectives
- Get to the chopper.
- Fly the chopper towards Happiness Island, as high as possible.
- Intimidate the Celebinator.
- Catch the Celebinator before he hits the ground.
- Land safely on the ground.
Walkthrough
Answer the phone near a helipad
The mission starts from a phone call, so where Luis happens to be standing when he answers decides most of the clock. Taking the call near the West River helipad is the difference between a comfortable two minutes ten and an impossible one.
Climb over the water
The flight is towards Happiness Island and the instruction to gain height is not decoration — the altitude is what makes the next part survivable.
Drop him, then catch him
The Celebinator is held out and then let go, and has to be recovered before he lands. Eight seconds is the condition, so the catch has to be started immediately rather than after watching him fall.
Put it down cleanly
Landing safely ends the mission, and the no-damage condition covers the whole of it.
