The Vanishing

[CmdrKeen]

So I didn't survive the final rush outside the closed bunker door and ragequit the game to take a breather, and after loading back in, I'm in front of Gabriel Castillo Public School back in regular Yarra, but with all the weapons from the underworld. The mission still shows up on my map so I guess I'd have to do it all over again to see the ending?

Heh, I spoke about this in another post. I too had the same thing happen to me and I too was very pissed! It turns out, you have finished the quest but you need to return to the bunker. The chic will still talk to you via ESP as if you are starting over but when you get there, a cut scene will take place and the quest will officially be complete.
For the record, I think the quest was called 'The Vanishing' but I don't remember.

[CmdrKeen]

Okay, so there's nothing else past the bunker door? If you survive the last wave and it opens, you just go back to Yarra I guess?

[Hystorm]

Just so we're on the same page, you are talking about the bunker where the chic talks to you via ESP and you meet the creature who's face opens, right?
If so, yes when you exit the bunker after killing it...[If I remember right anyway]...you are blasted to another area of the map and it seems like you failed the mission...
Then, if you go back to the bunker and shes talking to you again like you had not even started the mission, once you get there, it self resolves the mission and its over!

[CmdrKeen]

Well that's the thing, I didn't kill the creature. I was in Chapter 3 where you find Chorizo in that cave and meet the creature, and then the chick tells you it can't be killed and you need to escape. Then you run all the way back to the bunker while constantly being attacked by those shadow people and the creature jumping out at you every now and then, and when you make it to the bunker, the door is locked, and you have to survive several waves of shadow people attacks while Sheste tries to unlock the door. I died in one of those waves and ragequit the game, and when I loaded back in, I was back in Yarra, at the same school you visit in the underworld, with all the weapons you get there, but no more shadow people, just regular soldados. So I'm wondering if I cheesed the ending or something. The mission pointer is still there, but I haven't gone back yet to check what happens if I do.

I just finished the The Vanishing and got sent to the nearby base I had captured. And I still had the mission showing but had the weapons. Thought WTF?
Nice to know it completes by just going back to the bunker.
FYI, once you defend the bunker door (which was really starting to piss me off), you have to run though the bunker (which will also piss you off) and then you get the end cut scene.
But UbiSoft still F**ked with this quest.

Update: I just went back to the bunker to finish it. It asks again to enter it, selected yes, got a cut scene, and then teleported base to Clara's base and CAN NOT fast travel.
WTF UbiSoft????

Seems that I need to complete any mission to fix

I'm pretty sure at this point....This Is A Bug!!

[restarter]

♥♥♥♥ that stupid annoying mission. I got to the end, died, also rage quit and was back at the beginning. I just ignored it. Ubi puts the WORST checkpoints possible in this game.

Eh, I didn't think it was all that terrible overall, except for that final wave. Kinda neat to have a Stranger Things crossover episode. It wasn't necessary for them to do that since it has no relevance to the story so I see it as sort of a bonus easter egg. I'm not complaining.

my opinion of the mission didn't sour until I realized there is no checkpoint for exiting the game. I actually didn't ragequit as much as "well i gotta go to bed so I don't have time to repeat this last part."
when I got back on the next day and was standing outside of the facility I was more "annoyed-move-on"
I'm just never happy about checkpoints let alone poorly positioned checkpoints, but i understand why they exist. A checkpoint that doesn't carry through a game exit is just very bad game design IMO. I love the rest of the game though.

Yeah, same here basically.

It really only seem to be that mission though, I don't remember ever being quite as let down by the checkpoints in the other missions. Some were a bit frustratingly far apart but there was never a mission where you could literally go 3 chapters into and then have to restart if you mess it up. The Vanishing is by far one of the longest missions and probably would have deserved a few checkpoints. Like if at least I only had had to start Chapter 3 over, I wouldn't be complaining.

I think it's part of the base game actually. The DLCs are all based around villains from the 3 previous games and run in a separate game mode.

EDIT: yup, just double checked, it's part of the base game, you don't need to buy any DLCs to access it. To start the mission, you need to be in the Madrugal area of the map and wait for a call from Juan Cortez that sends you grab some C-4 in Rio the Plata.

At which point of the game did the vanishing appear for you guys? I started a new save but even after meeting the Monteros the Vanishing didn’t come back… Rambo did but the Vanishing didn’t for some reason…
