Out of the Frying Pan is the seventh chapter of Drake's Fortune. Nate and Elena used a jeep to escape from Eddy and his pirate crew.
Story[]
After Elena freed Nate from his cell, the two ended up in pursuit by Eddy's pirates, in a chase that led them across the island. While Elena controlled the wheel, Nate manned a machine gun to keep the pirates off their tail.
Once they had evaded the last of them, the two came to a dead-end, and Elena almost drove the jeep over the edge of a cliff. Nate fell out of his seat but managed to hold on from the back. Once Elena helped him back up, Nate took the driver's seat. As he desperately tried to get one of the wheels unstuck, Eddy and his crew managed to catch up. After shooting out their window, Eddy demanded Nate and Elena to remain still and relinquish the map. Nate stalled him for a minute and quietly told Elena to hold on tight. Eddy, growing impatient, continued demanding the map. Nate then quickly reversed the jeep, backing it off the cliff and into the water below.
Walkthrough[]
You start in a jeep driven by Elena through a large jungle. You will be manning a machine gun, and your goal is to keep Eddy's men off of your tail. You can either use the machine gun with your normal trigger, or grenades with your aim button. The grenades have a longer reload time and are more suitable for large groups of enemies or big trucks, while the bullets will only work against smaller vehicles. Also note that the smaller your firing reticle is, the more accurate your fire is, therefore you should maintain short bursts of fire each time.
On occasion, there will be some vehicles that approach you from the sides. Due to the large number of trees and obstacles, it will be difficult to get a good shot on some vehicles. Midway through, after approaching a dead-end cliff, you will turn around and spot a large oncoming truck, which you must quickly blow up using the grenade launcher before it collides with you. The chase will then lead through a small cave, where you must use the grenades to blow out rubble blocking the exit. As you approach the end, you will have just a few enemies left to take down before jumping over a gap, after which you will be led to the end of the road.
