Cordis Die represents the tenth mission in Call of Duty Black Ops II. It is unlocked after Odysseus story mission. Given Menendezs attack, Mason meets with the President of the United States of America.
Their VTOL is attacked and they have to continue in an armored vehicle to protect P.O.T.U.S. (which is also the primary objective in the mission).
The drones destroy the highway and our mission begins.
In Cordis Die we may overlook some Black Ops II Intel collectibles in the heat of the battle, and if we want to acquire all three of them, we have to use the hints and tips in the collectibles guide below.
Mission Details

Intel Location #1
The first Call of Duty Black Ops II Intel in Cordis Die is easy to miss, because we are concentrated on accomplishing all objectives and because it is available to acquire early in the mission.
After the highway is destroyed, we need to use a turret to destroy some of the drones. Then we have the choice to rappel down or provide sniper rifle assistance.
Regardless, when we get down, we have to get to the MRAP vehicles. We need to hurry if we want to achieve the secondary objective which is to save all 3 MRAPS, thus we may miss the Intel collectable.
When advancing towards the vehicles, we have to pay attention to the oncoming lanes. After passing a fire truck and a bus, theres a police motorcycle and a destroyed SUV. Near the SUV is our CoD Intel.
Intel Location #2
After our vehicle is crashed by a big truck, we are ambushed by enemy forces.
The objective is to destroy two CLAW units (we can make our life easier if we access the quadrotor from the damaged truck). Before doing anything else, it is recommended to destroy the first CLAW unit.
On the right side is a crashed train that can be accessed, and on the left side is a hotel (Hotel Kaylor). We head inside the hotel, we kill the soldiers, and then we grab the second Black Ops II Intel from the reception desk.
Intel Location #3
Shortly after destroying the second CLAW unit, we enter Plaza Downtown. Here we have multiple paths to take towards our objective. We take the leftmost one, inside the stores.
We climb the stairs to the second floor and we kill the remaining enemies in this building (also, in here we can open a door to access the roof where we can use a turret to destroy more drones).
If we look on the right side, before getting inside Agora Canteen, theres a small shop (Wess Favorite T Shirt).
The bottom shelf has the third Black Ops 2 Intel in Cordis Die (if we used the turret in the roof, we could break the windows to drop exactly near the Intel).
We get to the extraction VTOL to complete the mission, and we unlock the next one in line, named Judgment Day.
