Visiting Goka Falls

[PZ]

Current status: a couple of Predecessor missions available, I need some malaria medicine, and there is a buddy I need to find.  Other than that, I'm nearly done in Leboa.

First task - get passports from the Priest in Pala - his contact was in southwest Leboa - not too much trouble to get past the mercs surrounding the place.  Then back to the bus stop to the northwest bus stop - then to the hidden valley where I hope to find a buddy.  Sure enough, Quarbani Singh needed help and was grateful that I came by.

I needed some high explosive so I went to the armory east of the plane wreck for IEDs, and a fresh SVD and dart.  Next I traveled east to enter Goka Falls via the foot path to the shack on the river.  Then the short walk up the steep dirt path where along the way I met only a single merc - easily dispatched with a dart.

Now it's time to visit Gakumba in his room in the lodge to say our final farewells.

Things are quiet - almost too quiet...

Let's stick a couple of IEDs to the wall of the lodge near the the ammo pile - I'm going to attempt to drop the bridge.

A closeup of this improvised device show great detail.

I almost got caught sneaking into Gakumba's parlor, and there he was - standing there like I was his long lost friend.

The funny thing is that Gakumba didn't say anything as I threw a few more IEDs on the floor of his room

Perhaps Gakumba thought the explosives I'd placed on the floor were a parting gift.

Now outside and back across the bridge, time to touch off the explosives - goodbye Mr. Gakumba

The wall of the lodge is burning, and the fire is spreading - the ammo pile ignites and throws lead into the bridge supports.

Finally with a  loud crack, the bridge gave way

Time to go - the merc reinforcements were arriving, and seemed to be angry about something.

very nicely done and nice pics there, PZ  :) :-X

:-X :-D

No bridge over troubled waters for those mercs :-()

[PZ]

Cheers, guys  :-X

This is easily one of my favorites because you never know if the bridge will actually collapse - doesn't happen every time.

One end of the Goka Falls bridge fell up!

I saw that happen a couple of times. If you're on the PC and save there, every time you reload, the bridge will be in a different position (at least that's what happened to me the last time I did that)  :)

[PZ]

Thats what happened this time - I'd created a save at this position, and when I reloaded, the fight was on  >:D

I love save points.   :-X

I'm really missing those in AC2 as I'd like to attempt working through missions in several different ways without having to try a different approach after all the w@&k of a complete new play through.   :-( 

[PZ]

Indeed - the limit of three seems a bit stingy  >:(
