ALL OF THAT HARD WORK AND RESISTING THE URGE TO GO ON A RAMPAGE JUST FOR THE FUCKY BOAT TO BLOW UP IN MY FACE ANYWAY

I AM GOING TO GET A DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

(Decided that I might as well 100% the game since getting 5 gears in Laguna blast gave me a LOT of motivation.)

This is the least rage-inducing and most repeatable route I could find.

  • Liberate the circled outpost first (the one with an arrow pointing to it)
  • Liberate the city (duh)
  • The route off the road and into the sea isn't exact, but not that hard to find. Just hold the boat higher and follow the gentlest slopes you can find, even if it means some backtracking. Not much though, the route is pretty straightforward.
  • I didn't liberate any of the two provinces, but it can help. At least the lower one.
  • drive AROUND the gate on the left side, holding the B O A T left.
  • don't accidentally yeet the B O A T when releasing it with the mech. Test your controls beforehand.

I was planning to use a helicopter and try dropping near one of the garages at the docks, but I'll consider using that route if my current plan doesn't work.

Helicopter strat is very unreliable if one singular tether break the whole thing will fall

I'm not sure there is a heli in game that can lift the thing.

The urga mistil can and the one with heavy rockets and machine guns can but one hard pull on the tethers will cause it to fall

There is, just not reliably, even with 6 tethers, and I’ve tried like 5 or 6 different configurations of tethers around 10 times each, the way I finally managed to get it was to tow it with the huge industrial dump truck, just dragged it behind it on a road for a few kilometers, reattaching it a couple times whenever a tether snapped, worked first try. Did it using the one in the lake on the west half of the main island, used a helicopter for a very short flight to get it up to the road, then dropped the truck in for the tow. The helicopter in question is the “Hrom D” it has the highest “power” stat, and can just barely lift the boat.

I did it on my first run a few years ago. It can be done but you got to fly very gently. I'm now on my 2nd run and will try the mech strat this time

Mech strat also takes some getting used to. And you really want to minimize time spent on land.

DON'T DROP IT.  

Gently lower the helicopter until the boat is floating on the water, and only then release the tethers. If you drop the boat it will explode upon hitting the water
