The Da Nang Thang walkthrough

Little Lion’s helicopter

Woozie is about to leave when Little Lion calls with news of a Da Nang freighter bound for the city. Woozie cannot go, so CJ offers to take his place. Little Lion waits in a helicopter on a Chinatown rooftop. Get in and let him fly out over the bay toward the freighter.

Gun for the helicopter

Little Lion flies low around the ship while CJ fires the minigun mounted on the helicopter. Shoot the Da Nang Boys as they appear on the decks. A gangster with a rocket launcher climbs up on the containers and fires on the helicopter, so keep an eye out for him. You will not find him in time. The missile hits and the helicopter crashes into the bay.

Swim to the ship

CJ survives the crash but loses his weapons, and only has a knife left. Swim to the freighter and climb aboard while the guards on the rail look for survivors. Stay near the side of the hull, and do not stand on the surface in the guards’ view. Boarding the ship puts you among the shipping containers.

Through the containers

Use the knife to kill guards from behind, then take their guns. The container maze has several levels, and climbing it makes the guards spot you. Move along the tops of the containers, shooting the gunmen on the way. Pick off the ones watching from other rows before dropping down. Look for the gap that drops into the hull.

Free the refugees

In the hull, kill the refugees’ guard and shoot the padlock on their container, and the refugees come out. The game tells you to take out the guards, but do not hit the refugees. More gangsters are posted around the hull, so shoot them before they spot you. Then climb to the bridge and clear everyone on it.

The bridge

Go up the stairs to the ship’s bridge and kill all the Da Nang Boys there. The captain gets in your way, so shoot him quickly. When it is clear, return to the refugees. They lower dinghies into the water and the mission is done.
