Walkthrough - Mission 5 - Mission 5-4 Rounds Square Shopping Center
We're coming to the final stronghold mission of the entire game, and you may want to give Johnny a call to help you out here. Despite the fact that you own the Nob Hill hood of the High End Retail district, the sole Ultor stronghold is in the mall. In fact, despite the icon for the mission seeming like it's outside by the staircase where you started the assault on the General, the mission is actually inside the mall itself. Drive over, head into the mall where the General went in, and take the elevator up. Once you're in the mall itself, you'll soon see the mission point.
Activate it, and you'll see that several of the Ultor executives did not attend the yacht party. They're here in the mall shopping, though they're escorted by Ultor agents. Head to each blip in turn, and execute everyone. The security guards seem to have incredible eyesight, and you won't be able to get close enough to do anything swift like using a grenade. Your assault rifle will more than likely do the trick here, although a sniper rifle might be a more slick approach. Either way, be sure to keep tabs on your followers: you'll practically need them to get you through the upcoming second part of the mission.

Once the marked execs are down, a new blip will tell you to head to the downstairs conference room to eliminate the rest. Rather than doing anything fancy, it's best to just equip the assault rifle or SMG and spray-and-pray. The remaining board members and their guards are so tightly packed that a grenade or two plus random shots will pretty much whittle the numbers to fewer than ten in seconds. Mop up, and get ready.
You get an instant five-point wanted level with Ultor and need to escape the mall. The Ultor agents will be armed with the best weapons in the game, including rocket launchers, so don't bother using any vehicle. Just head up the stairs toward the blip, and shoot everyone in your way. Once you reach the barricade, fight your way up the stairs, but don't worry about the Bears. Even though they're tempting to jack, just kill everyone near the exit point and the mission will be yours.
Just one more story mission left! You can practically taste the city now!
