* Send 5 lieutenants to Amado.
**Notes:** The second task only applies if the player chose to send an escort.

**Notes:** The timer assumes the player chose to send an escort. During this quest, several government attacks by the Police, Federales, DEA, and US Army will be triggered, regardless of the current terror level. Be prepared for heavy fighting and/or real estate losses.

**Sold Out**

* Talk to Lyova Fainherz in Amado.
**Notes:** The player has a choice to change the first task of the next quest.

**Go To Ground I**

Within **75 days**:

* **Either** Do not partake in any encounters with either gangs or law enforcement for 15 days.
* **Or** Cede one of your controlled cities to a rival gang.
* Do not have less than 400,000 in your account.
**When Accomplished:** Unlocks the Castle Residence.**Notes:** The player may have difficulty ceding a town if they have already eliminated the two hostile gangs from the map. It is speculated that the player can avoid a softlock by letting loyalty fall below respect, causing cities to lose control without a lieutenant present, then allow one city to fully lose control. It is recommended to choose the 15 days of non-action, as it is both simpler and easier and does not negatively affect any chance to achieve global unlocks.
