Vico Maquerello is a small village in Just Cause 3.
Description[]
This village is a minor settlement in the region, yet Di Ravello's influence can be seen throughout, most notably with the large statue overlooking the docks. The village has a sizable civilian port, a dozen or so buildings, and a blue and white lighthouse. The lighthouse is immediately north of the settlement, near the starting point for the "Maquerello Sprint" race. The village does not seem to be in good shape, as the southern half of the village contains a few burned out buildings, and trash can be found scattered next to many other buildings. A Di Ravello tape can be found here, next to a bench in the northwest of the village.
A gun battle between The Rebellion and Di Ravello's forces takes place here during the mission Connect the Dots.
In-game map description: "Every year anglers from around the world pilgrimage to this small fishing community to view the Maquerello Sancte, a miraculous fish caught in 1973 that although deceased, has never exhibited signs of decay or decomposition. Rubbing its scales is thought to bring good fortune, though the practice is strictly forbidden."
Completion[]
- 1 Di Ravello billboard.
- 1 Speaker.
- 1 Di Ravello statue.
- Raise the flag.
Trivia[]
- "Maquerello Sancte", the miraculous fish noted in the village's description, translates literally to "holy mackerel", an expression of surprise. This must be some kind of humor by the developers.
- The name of this village "Vico Maquerello" literally translates to "Mackerel Village".
- It is possible to take over this place during the mission, but the Medici Military will not disappear upon settlement completion. The only noticeable difference will be Medici Military soldiers attacking Rebellion soldiers that (literally) appeared out of nowhere.
- Vico Maquerello is mentioned by name in the in-game description of Vico Platessa, as being absolutely despised by the town's 98-year-old lighthouse keeper Luis Berillos, with the implication that his hatred of Vico Maquerello is one of the main reasons for his longevity.
