Summary

Upon CJ getting sufficiently close to Mount Chiliad, the mission begins, and the title is displayed. CJ looks at the mountain comments on the challenge of the task ahead given it's size, and figures that the best way to begin is to get right into it.

He then explores many different area on the mountain, and as he does he discovers a variety of clues that indicate some kind of strange happening on the mountain. He finds large footprints that seem too large for any animal; a destroyed bike with dead rider nearby; a torn-apart dead couple lying on the nook of a rock; a small cabin with bodies inside that share similar injuries to the aforementioned couple; and a vantage point overlooking that cabin where dozens of large calibre rifle rounds have been expended.

Having found enough clues, he opts to investigate the mountain summit, hoping to find some survivors that can tell him what happened. When the arrives on the summit, he takes an inquisitive stroll as he inspects the area, however he finds nothing of note. Instead, the Yeti finds him when it walks out of some nearby bushes, and immediately to attack him. CJ opens fire, and a battle ensues.

The fight is prolonged, made difficult by the Yeti's unnatural strength, and it's anomalous control over temperature. CJ eventually gets too injured and decides to flee the battle, however as he retreats, the Yeti knocks him down with an ice blast. The Yeti closes in for the kill, however - just before it reaches him - it is killed via a sniper rifle round to the head, fired by Eve Matthews, who remains out of sight. CJ gets up and calls out for whoever fired the rifle shot, however no-one replies.

With the Yeti dead, and it's killer nowhere to be found, CJ is safe for the meantime. His wounds sustained in the fight have put him in bad shape, and thus they require urgent attention. He must then journey back to Prospero H.Q. to both get the medical attention he needs, and also file a mission report regarding what he saw on the mountain.

Opening

The mission begins when CJ gets sufficiently close to Mount Chiliad, at which point the mission title is displayed, and the mission begins.

CJ: Yeti huh. Man I got no clue where to even start.

CJ: Guess we just scope the place out, see what we see.

The player must then journey around Mount Chiliad investigating various clues.

Finding Clues

If CJ finds the footprints clue:

CJ: Footprints. Look a little large to be from any animal... Let's keep looking.

If CJ finds the bodies clue:

CJ: Bodies... they've been torn apart.

If CJ finds the other bodies clue:

CJ: More bodies... what the hell happened here?

If CJ finds the bullet casings clue:

CJ: Spent bullet casings. A lot of them. Someone used a ton of bullets shooting down there... but why?

If CJ finds the destroyed bike clue:

CJ: Destroyed bike... body. Could be related, might not.

After discoveries four of five clues, CJ comments about investigating the summit.

CJ: Let's scope out the summit. Might be something up there.

Upon reaching the marker on the summit, the next stage of the mission begins.

The Summit

A cinematic then begins. CJ walks across the mountain summit slowly and curiously, looking for any signs of life or anything out of the ordinary.

CJ: What we got here...

As CJ walks forwards, the Yeti emerges from some nearby bushes and roars at him. It then begins to walk towards CJ, prompting CJ to begin shooting. The player must now kill the Yeti in a prolonged fight, made difficult by the Yeti's extremely high health, and it's ice blast ability that can freeze CJ solid for a short duration.

Conclusion

At the conclusion of the fight, CJ begins to retreat, injured. As he runs, the Yeti knocks CJ to his feet using an Iceblast, and begins to close in for the kill. However, before it can reach him, it is stopped by Eve Matthews, who snipes the already injured Yeti in the head and kills it. CJ then gets up and looks for who fired the shot, but finds no-one.

CJ: What the hell? Who was that?!

CJ: Damn, let's get out of here.

Post-conclusion

Following the conclusion of the mission, CJ will make a random remark that indicates that the player must return to Prospero H.Q.

CJ: Man I don't feel so good. Need to get these scratches looked at.
