Mission walkthrough

On the train

Trevor rides a Sanchez to the tracks east of Sandy Shores. Take the raised path beside the line and jump from the rocks on to the containers. If you miss, you get another chance further along. Ride along the top of the train and jump the gaps. Falling off late in the run fails the mission. Keep going until you reach the engine, and Trevor deals with the driver.

The crash

Trevor passes the waiting Merryweather team at Paleto Bay and rams another locomotive on the Cassidy Creek bridge, jumping clear at the last second.

The container

Michael is already on the creek in a Dinghy with scuba gear. Go to the rail bridge in time, dive and find the orange container in the wreck. Stick bombs to its doors, swim back and detonate them. Pick up the case inside.

The way out

Control moves to Trevor, who has a thermal sniper rifle. Merryweather comes at you by boat, helicopter and from the banks. Shoot them while Michael works, and then get in the Dinghy. Keep shooting as you go down the creek to the ocean, then land on the beach and go to the two getaway cars. Michael takes the artifact from the case as a peace offering to Madrazo.
