Before the walkthrough starts here is the number one advice I can give
you: Save often. Whenever you are done with a mission, you should
already have an auto save, but it's a good idea to also save on the
second save spot whenever you feel like it (finished something that is
not a main mission for example). And of course keep the power flowing on
your DS, as this game will dry up your batteries.
You play the role of Huang Lee who comes to Liberty City to give a sword
to your uncle, after your father died. The sword should ensure your
uncle becoming the next man in charge but it gets stolen.

Welcome to GTA Chinatown Wars. This little intro mission will help you
get comfy with the view and usage of the game in the NDS world. This is
especially hard for some people coming from other consoles or the PC.
After your refreshing bath, use the arrows to swim to the shore. No need
for button pressing, the swimming is done automatically as is the
climbing on to dry land. Once in the yellow marker, go up the ramp and
take the car waiting at the blue marker. You will encounter one of many
mini games throughout the game for hotwiring a car. Just follow the
instructions on the screen below, and you will do fine.
Now drive the car up to your uncles shop and park it a bit away from the
chevrons. If you park on the chevrons, you won’t be able to enter the
shop. The game can also be a bit picky about where you enter the
chevrons, so always try for where the chevrons start, that will be the
best indicator.
Outside again after the little chat, go to the yellow marker, and stand
in it. The game explains to you how the saving works. Now you can also
save with your PDA anywhere on the map, as long as you are not in a
mission. Of course you can also save cars (this time again with garages)
and the game in the apartment.
After you know how stuff works, go back to the K blip and step into the
chevrons.
=== Pursuit Farce ===
Reward: $50
You are to meet someone from Kenny's crew. Outside, grab the car and
follow to the yellow blip and park the car in the spot. You meet Ling
Shan and also how the cops work in this GTA version. After the little
talk you have a wanted rating of two stars. This sends two cars on your
tail. Now you have to either ram two cop cars at high speed or push them
so they crash. The icons at the top will tell you if you are successful
or not. Once both cars have been dispatched, your wanted level drops
away (after the normal few seconds of blinking stars) and you can return
to your apartment. Just park in the yellow marker and you are done.
Go to the K blip around the corner and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Under the Gun ===
Reward: $50
Kenny wants you to be able to defend yourself. So go around the corner,
into the alley and stand into the marker. There you meet Ling again. You
first have to punch the dummy, do a roundhouse kick and a flying kick on
it, then you get to shoot a gun. Kenny comes out of the restaurant,
there are some punks making trouble. Ling leads you down the alley to a
dumpster. Standing next to these, you can search them. Just open it up
and throw out the bags to uncover a pistol. Now with that done follow
Ling on foot to the yellow marker around the corner. After that little
talk, nobody seems to respect you, Ling gets shot and the thug runs away
into the alley. Follow him and kill the three guys there in the back.
The green plus sign at the stairs will refill your health if you get
hit. Go up the stairs, walk around the roof to the last red dot on the
map and kill him too to finish this mission.
Go to the K blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Payback ===
Reward: $50
Kenny wants you to give the gang some payback. They are in the Steinway
area up north. Go up there, jump over the small wall and stand in the
yellow marker. A gang member shows up and then runs away. The easiest
way is to just go back towards the street and then follow him south, or
you can run and then vault over the countless walls here. He will run
across the street and into an alley. Kill him there and his two friends.
Once they are dead a car pulls up with two more guys. When one of them
is dead, the other will grab a car and make a run for it. Get the second
car and chase him down. Ram his car a few times, do drive by shooting
until the guy leaves the car. Now is a good moment to just drive over
him and your mission is done.
Go to the K blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== The Wheelman ===
Reward: $50
Kenny wants you to get 3 cars and you only have 6 hours in game time.
The first is very close by in a parking lot. After getting it, you need
to drive it to the garage in Bobao. Just drive into the chevrons there
and the car gets stowed away. Grab one of the cars outside and go for
the next closer one. This one is in a parking lot with a cop car. After
returning with that get the last one, parked at a gas station a bit
southeast of Outlook. Here be careful not to hit the gas pumps or you
will blow yourself up. This might be a good maneuver though if you want
to get rid of a lot of cops later on. Deliver the last car to the garage
to finish this mission.
From now on you can hail cabs that can drop you off anywhere in town
(like in GTA4) against a small fee of course.
Go to the K blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Tricks of the Triad ===
Welcome to the wonderful world of drug dealing. Go back to the
apartment. There the game will lead you through the way on how to get
drugs from your stash box. Grab all the drugs then drive to your first
dealer Liam in Steinway. There you deal with him and also get to see a
camera in the short cut scene. He tells you that prices stay high as
long as those cameras are there. A total of 100 Cameras are all over
Liberty city, but that’s a different guide.
After the deal, check your PDA and you get a mail from Danny who is in
Meadow Park. Go there. Now you made $25 profit form the last deal and
this guy has coke for $25 so you buy all he has. After this, the cops
arrive. Just get back as fast as you can to your apartment. Don't worry
about losing the cops, they disappear once you are done. Inside the
apartment you put your drugs into your stash and exit the apartment to
finish this training mission.
From now on you can find drug dealers all over the city. They usually
stand still, have a blue shirt and are not very exposed to the general
public. With drug dealing you can make a lot of money.
You will also get once a week an email about your trading stats, which
you can unsubscribe from. Also Kenny is telling you to raise $5000 for
some property deal and you get an email from Chan Jaoming (C blip after
that on the radar) about some proposition he wants to talk about.
For now go to the K blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Natural Burn Killer ===
Reward: $50
Assembling your own weapons is one of the mini games here. This time you
get to make Molotov cocktails. Kenny wants to make an example out of a
business refusing to pay protection. Go to the gas station down the
block and step into the blue gas station icon. Since this fill up is
free, tap the right most icon, gives you the most Molotov. Now you have
the grab the nozzle and get as much gas into the bottle as you can until
the arrow to the right appears. Then just but the nozzle away, grab a
rag from the bucket and push it into the bottle and your Molotov is
done. With this method you can make around 10 Molotov at the large fill
up.
Armed and dangerous, go north to the Spanish lords car lot. Get out of
the car and jump into the lot. The game will teach you how to use the
Molotov (and grenades for that matter). Bomb the car close at the
entrance and the one in the back as well until they are exploding (no
more red arrow above them. Now the game gives you a yellow target, a
store on the other side of the street. Go there and bomb the store with
Molotov. Throw all you have. Once you are out, there are some more
behind the building across the street. You can deter the firemen by
shooting at the truck or firebomb itself. Once the damage meter is full,
the building is firebombed and explodes. With that you are done.
You can now destroy the cameras all over the city with Molotov, grenades
or other explosives.
Go to the K blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Recruitment Drive ===
Reward: $50
Kenny needs some more good men, or better, cannon fodder. Make your way
fast to the blue blip. You have to save the guy from a few bad guys (3
to 4 usually). Kill the bad guys, get close to the blue guy and he will
follow you. Get into a car, wait for the crew member to follow you into
the car and go to the next victim. You have to repeat this and keep your
gang close together until the end of the mission. If you don't keep them
close, you will lose members of the gang, which will make your mission
fail if you lose two. With three in your car, make your way back to the
east side of the block where your apartment is, to the tattoo parlor.
The Hoodlums you killed have some buddies that want revenge, they will
appear in cars and try to ram and kill you. Just drive fast and park in
the yellow marker.
Now leave the car and follow your people inside. Another small mini game
ensues. You tattoo your own crew. Just follow the design roughly. At the
edges, just go to the edges and to the fine parts with the pen, but not
far over them. That way the whole design will be filled out with ink.
Once done, the tattoo is perfect and your mission is over.
From now on you can go to the tattoo parlor and make some money by
inking as many tattoos as possible in an as short time as possible. If
you manage to get 10 tattoos done, you get a bronze medal (and the
payout is double), at 15 it’s a silver medal (and triple payout). At X
you get a gold medal and X times the payout. It's about speed not
precision, as long as it's "good enough". Go on, try it out, it will
fill up your low cash level a bit. The tattoo counts as "done" when most
of the area is inked. I found it best to keep the pen on the surface
most of the time, if the areas are connected, and take it off when I
though the tattoo is done. You need to lift the pen in order for the
game to recognize the tattoo is done.
Go to the C blip and walk into the yellow chevrons.
=== Pimp His Ride ===
Reward: $50
Chan wants to win a race and get an advantage by tampering with the
competitions car. Go to the blip and then follow the car. It will go to
the pay and spray south. Once the game tells you to get into the champs
car, leave yours and grab his car quickly. Now race back to Chan’s
garage and park it inside. In a small mini game you make a few choice
modifications on the car. Once done with your handy work, especially the
fish is a nice touch, you leave the garage again and have to return the
car. It drives like hell now of course. Return it to the place you found
it and park in the yellow marker to finish this mission.
Go to the C blip and walk into the yellow chevrons.
=== Whack the Racers ===
Reward: $100
Now Chan needs your help with the race directly. Grab the fast car
(comet) parked directly next to the shop (east side) and go to the
yellow marker. The race starts and you have to make sure Chan wins. Ram
the cars with the red arrows and make sure the blue car gets through.
Your best bets are to side swipe them into walls if you can, so they do
a frontal collision. Other than that, follow Chan and make sure he wins
the race. Once he won, get close to his car to end the mission. The
bastard didn't even think you did anything.
From now on you can also race for yourself if you like to.
Also an email from Zhou Ming will come in, requesting 20 bags of weed as
an entry fee. He even tells you that the best chances of finding good
prices are in Schottler.
Go to the C blip and walk into the yellow marker.
=== Jackin' Chan ===
Reward: $150
Chan has been taken. Grab a car and go down to the blue blip at the
docks. As you get close you see how some fires break out and Chan is
trapped. Back up and follow the second blue blip to find a fire truck.
Grab it and return to the fires. Now you put out the fires like you
would throw a Molotov. Aim for the places with the red arrows and keep
the water going for a while until it vanishes. Douse all the fires, then
get into Chan's car. Still not done, some guys with automatic guns are
on your case and try to kill you as you drive Chan home. Once securely
in the garage, you are done.
Now get enough money and buy 20 bags of weed. You can find in Schottler
a dealer that sells a bag for around $4, so 20 bags set you back only
$80.
Once you got the drugs on you, head over to the Z blip.
=== Stealing the Show ===
Reward: $150
Zhou is convinced that he is the best choice for the next boss. A big
step up from that Chan moron for sure. He wants you to be his new
thrower. Outside get in the car and drive to the gas station at the
yellow blip and park in the yellow marker. You climb automatically into
the truck and now you have to use the same method you used for the
Molotov to throw crates. You have to throw 15 crates successfully. There
seem to be unlimited crates there though. Just throw them a bit higher
or further than you think, as long as the car is in the line you throw
you usually hit it. The place you need to hit is the back of the truck,
so aim always for that. Sometimes it works easiest if you just aim to
the back and when the truck goes under the throwing line drawn by the
game, release the pen to throw it. Once you got 15, jump off using X and
get into the truck. Now drive home to Zhou's club and park in the garage
and you are done.
Go to the Z blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Flatliner ===
Reward: $150
Someone Zhou knows has arrived in Liberty City. Go to the Airport,
indicated by the yellow blip. As you get close, a blue blip appears.
That’s the ambulance, it's standing on the tarmac. Get close, grab it
then make your way back to the club (same garage the truck was parked
before). Only problem is you have cops on your back now with a 3 star
rating and your patient should not die. If he flatlines you can restart
his heart by tapping fast repeatedly on the heart. So you have to drive
well and do the tapping in between. With the ambulance in the garage,
Zhou makes you his blood brother to finish off the mission.
=== Bomb Disposal ===
Reward: $200
The old boss wants to destroy some drugs in stash cars. Zhou wants those
drugs for himself instead of blowing them up. Go to the closest stash
car. As you get close, the bomb vans will be armed. Now you have to get
into the red vans, and once inside disarm the bombs. First remove the
screws from the cover. Touch the voltmeter now, then each of the wires
on the right. The one with the highest reading is the one you need to
cut. Tap the cutter and draw a cutting line through the wire you want to
cut to disarm. Once a bomb is disarmed two thugs appear, kill them then
go to the next van. Once all are taken care of, a group of thugs appear
at one of the vans, kill them all and you get a message another bomb van
is approaching. Drive by the van until it goes up in flames to finish
the mission.
Time to make some money. You will get an email about making $5000 to buy
some property from Kenny. Best way is to make some drug deals.
With $5000 in your pocket go to the K blip and step into the marker.
=== Carpe 'Dime' ===
Some rich guy is in town and he should be relieved of his money. He also
could have the sword. You get a red blip, a moving red van. Get close to
it, then hijack it. Make sure you don't destroy it or make too much
damage on it, as you will have to drive it back to where you just came
from and park it in the garage. On that trip back cars will come out
from everywhere and shoot at you. Once in the garage you can cut open
the panels and you will find a ledger with some deals this person made.
From now on you can hijack gang vans and steal what they carry.
After this, Kenny, Chan and Zhou will email you. Kenny has a new safe
house for you in Algonquin (Lancaster area, just a bit west of the
bridge coming from charge island). Chan wants help with a drug deal and
Zhou wants help too. Since you are already at Kenny's place, step into
the yellow marker at the K blip.
=== Store Wars ===
Reward: $50
The Spanish are attacking your stores. Go to the yellow blip in east
island city. In an alley next to the blip is a large truck. Take it and
block the street to the south. Take more cars and make a blockade to the
north. Once all is blocked or some time has passed the Spanish will
attack. There are four waves, first south, then alternating. Once all
attackers have been killed you have saved the building. Don't worry if
they get one or two Molotov in, as long as the building still stands
when you are done dispatching the enemy, all is fine.
Go to the C blip in Algonquin and step into the yellow marker.
=== Raw Deal ===
Reward: $200
The good Chan wants to be a negotiator. Unfortunately you get ambushed.
Now there is an unlimited supply of enemies here. You can use this to
stock up on weapons but Chan will get shot in the end. So your best
choice is to go into the alleys and find the car stashed there (close by
also is a camera). Then take that and bash through one of the blockades
that has no tanker blocking the area and drive Chan home to the club. As
you drop him off, the cops arrive and Wade Heston introduces himself. He
lets you go for now though.
Heston also emails you a bit later and giving you access to his safe
house in south Bohan.
Go to the Z blip and step into the marker.
=== Driven to Destruction ===
Reward: $300
Those dealers are making problems for Zhou. Get into the truck and drive
to the yellow blip. As you get close it splits up into multiple red
dots. Get close so Zhou can kill them. The best way is to make sure you
have the enemy in front of you, so Zhou can wreak havoc with his Gatling
gun. The carnage meter in the top left has to fill to the maximum to
finish this mission. Once one group of dealers is dead, a new one will
spawn somewhere. Just drive there and again destroy your enemies. Make
sure the car stays away from the exploding enemy cars, so you won’t
destroy the truck. You need to keep it relative fresh, because once the
carnage meter is full, you have to hunt down all remaining dealers of
the group you were decimating at the time and then drive home. On that
drive you will have some dealers on your tail and also sometimes cops.
Chances of survival are higher the better you take care of your truck.
Chan sends you an email, inviting you to meet Hsin.
Go to the shield blip with the H inside in Bohan and step into the
yellow chevrons.
=== The Tow Job ===
Heston thinks planting some smack into the Koreans car might be a good
way to get rid of them. Go to the yellow blip and you see a tow truck
drive away with the Koreans car. Block the trucks path and hijack the
truck. The easiest is to push the cabin into an alley, get out of the
car and quickly hijack the truck. The driver will get angry and try to
get you back out, so just shoot him. Now step into the yellow chevrons
next to the truck and lower the car to the ground. Get into the car and
drive around. You need a two star rating and then drop it off at the
police station to the north. Your best bet is to shoot a cop (drive by).
To make life easier, drive close to the station first, then do the deed
so you can drop of the car fast. Just park in the yellow marker and you
are done (the wanted level will vanish).
A bit later Heston sends an email, he wants 2 bags of coke from you.
That can wait for now, let's visit Hsin first.
Go to the H blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Trail Blazer ===
Reward: $300
As usual you get treated like crap, but Hunag doesn't let that slide
anymore. Hsin wants the gambling den of his enemies to burn. Go to the
gas station just a bit to the east at the yellow blip. As you get close
it changes to a blue blip, indicating a tanker. Grab it, hotwire it and
then drive over to south Bohan where the next yellow blip is. Of course
it's not that easy. As you drive off, someone shoots your tanker. Gas
gets out and the fuel ignites. Now you have to keep the speed up in
order for the flames to not reach the tanker and blow it up. The last
two curves are narrow, so be careful there and then park it on the
yellow marker at your destination. Get out of the truck and run as far
away as you can before it blows.
Now also buy the two bags of coke for Heston.
Return to the blip with the shield with the H on it.
=== The Tail Bagging the Dogs ===
The Korean you helped incriminate gets out on a caution. So go over to
the yellow blip, the police station and park in the yellow marker.
Instantly the Korean comes out and drives south. Follow him, not too far
behind but not too close. He will make a stop, the game camera will show
the full area where he stopped. There is one guy with a red arrow above
his head there, that’s the one you have to kill. Go in, kill him, get
back into the car and keep following the Korean. This little game
repeats itself two more times. Then another stop happens and the Korean
loads into his car a passenger. Now they run away, so chase them down
and destroy them. Shoot up the car until they leave it then kill them.
Kenny will send you an email, so go back to the K blip and step into the
yellow marker.
=== Copter Carnage ===
Reward: $400
There is some merchandise outdoors that you need to protect. It's rather
simple. Just shoot all the enemies coming up on your radar. Once they
are all dead, the helicopter will flee. Follow it (it goes over charge
island north to south Bohan) and you will find the Spanish warehouse. Be
careful with the roadblocks.
Go to the K and step into the yellow marker.
=== Kenny Strikes Back ===
Time for a full blown assault. go to the yellow blip in the north, where
the helicopter landed before. Now walk into the yellow chevrons at the
entrance. Smash the keypad, then grab each wire and put it in the
recommended position to twist the wires. This will open the gate. Kill
the six guards inside, then get into the van. Drive it a bit forward and
more Spanish lords will come. Two will close the gate and be inside the
compound. Kill them and then two more will wait just outside. Kill them
too then get back into the van. Now simply drive it home while being
shot upon by more cars that want to take you down. Back at the garage
you get to open the side of the door again and grab what's inside there.
You can now go back and assault this location over and over again if you
like. The payout is relatively small though.
Go to the shield with an H icon in Bohan and step into the yellow
chevrons.
=== Weapons of Mass Distraction ===
Reward: $
You have to do the dirty work for Heston again. He wants to plant a bug
and you are the distraction. Go to the yellow blip and park in the
marker. Now throw a Molotov on one of the cars or riddle it with
bullets. Once one of the cars blow the gang comes at you. Kill them all
until the game gives you the other two hideouts as yellow blips. Head
for the southern one, kill the enemies indicated with red blips until
the game tells you to go for the last hideout. So go there, again kill
what's standing around and then the game tells you to go to a more
remote location, just a bit to the north. Grab something to drive and go
up there. At the northwestern end of that place there in the water is a
boat. Grab it and drive off to the northwest and your mission is over.
Heston will email you a bit later, so return to him.
=== Street of Rage ===
Heston is not home. Outside you get an email that opens automatically.
He is pinned down at the tollbooths in Steinway, the ones on the eastern
bridge. As you get close you have a couple cops ahead and then a group
of assassins. Kill them, go further south, kill the ones past the toll
booth and then go around it to the blue blip where Heston lies. Another
guy stands there with a minigun. Take cover until he goes and reloads.
Then take cover near the wall on the right and lob a Molotov or grenade
at him over the wall. That should kill him instantly. Grab the minigun
(expensive to buy) and get close to Heston to finish the mission.
After this mission you will get an email from Kenny. Go to the K blip
and stand into the yellow chevrons.
=== Missed the Boat? ===
Reward: 10 packs Heroin
Now you have to help Kenny help Hsin help the Italians. Go to the jetty
and grab the boat. Now go north and then east towards the meeting point.
Notice the bunch of cop cars on the bridge, the campfire guys and the
person being shot on the pier? Good times. Just get close to the other
boat and the exchange happens. The coastguard shows up, now just gun the
engine straight back to where you came from and you will shake the
immediate danger. Now you need to get back to the jetty but there are
these coastguard ships in the way. The easiest way is to go around the
north of charge island, then approach the jetty a bit from the south.
You just need to make it into the marker and you are good.
You'll get three mails. Zhou and Chan want to talk to you, both giving
you new missions, while Kenny just gives you a new safe house close to
Zhou's location.
Go to the Z blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Cash & Burn ===
Some Irish are encroaching upon a protection scam. Zhou wants you to
light a fire. To that end he has a flamethrower in a car across the
street in an alley. Get into the car then drive south to the yellow blip
and park in the yellow marker. Now get out of the car, smash the lock at
the gate then enter the site. There are 18 of these building supplies
you need to burn up. You need to get relatively close and use the
flamethrower on them. Just keep spraying until you hear the wood
crackling, which means it's on fire, then go to the next one, as the
last one will burn up. There are three on the left side where the game
showed you. Most of the rest are in the middle back part (south) and
three more on the right side from the entrance. Concentrate on the
crates but give a short burst at your enemies that crop up. There are
not unlimited of those, so killing them helps you out. There also are
two health pickups here, one in the far back on the right, and one
behind the last crate on the right side (behind some pipes). Once all 18
are up in flames go to the entrance again and your mission is over.
Go to the Z blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Dragon Haul Z ===
Reward: $?
Zhou has a raid planed. After the little talk, go south and intercept
the delivery van. They will defend themselves with guns. Try to drive
ahead a bit, then drive by, so you shoot a bit backwards as well and
they will get out of the truck. Kill them if you have to and grab the
truck. Once you have the truck and no wanted level park it in the yellow
marker next to the bank. Now comes the mini game of being not
suspicious. First you have a trial on how to work the dragon, then you
will have to perform for real in front of an audience. In the trial you
can make mistakes, later you have to be almost perfect to make it
through. A good strategy is to try and stay in the middle of the road,
and also hit the targets not in the perfect center but at the edge,
towards the center of the road. Just keep doing this until you walk out
of the crowd and your mission is over.
Time to pay Chan a visit. Go to the C blip at the marina and step into
the yellow marker.
=== Sa-Boat-Age ===
Reward: 12 bags Ecstasy
This guy is just unbelievable. He wants to race you on the water. Grab
the Wet Ski and follow him through the checkpoints. At one point he
falls back with the boat smoking some, just keep going and the game will
stop. It seems like the boat was sabotaged. Sure enough the Spanish
lords come around. Now protect Chan from them. The wet ski, like a bike,
can fire straight ahead. So use this to your advantage. There are 7
waves in total from 2 to 4 boats each (total 21 boats for me). You will
carry an MP5 with unlimited ammo for this, so just keep on shooting at
them. The biggest problem is boats exploding though. Try not to shoot
them when they are close to Chan, or the boat exploding can do a lot
more damage. Once all waves are done with Chan will be rescued by a
helicopter.
You will get a mail from Kenny a bit later, telling you to go to Hsin.
Go to the H blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== The Offshore Offload ===
Reward: $700
Some money needs laundering but the cops have Hsin's men. Go to the blip
and you will see that the men are captured in a Noose van. There is the
wide alley, avoid that, and a smaller on the side. You can actually
drive into that alley with a car and not tip off the cops. A cabbie
works great for this. Park it facing toward the wide alley and a bit
away room the truck. Go to the back of the van and play the mini game
for applying the explosives and the detonators. Step back, let the van
doors explode and get into your car instantly. Two guys will appear and
get into your car as well, now floor it. Turn left into the street at
the alley exit and the game gives you a new target, a blue blip to the
north. That’s the accountant, so pick him up. He's just standing there
so get close, stop the car but stay inside and wait till he is in the
car. Now you have to make it to the helipad in the southeast of the
island. Drive carefully and don't try to ram the other cars, you are
most likely already pretty damaged on this stretch. Just make it into
the yellow marker and the wanted level will go away as this completes
the mission.
By now you can also get the upgrade at Ammunation to buy the better
weapons if you like. This can come in very handy but sets you back
10'000. As a good drug dealer though that shouldn't be a problem.
Go to the H blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== One shot, one kill ===
One of Chan's people sold him out. Go to the yellow blip. Step into the
yellow chevrons and you end up on a balcony. Grab the suitcase and
assemble your sniper rifle. You have to find a guy that has a white
shirt and jeans and kill him. Just look at the people running around in
the garden and fine one with a white shirt and blue pants. He looks
different from all the others, just shoot him and once you hit the right
guy, the game will tell you. Now you have a three star wanted level. You
need to get rid of it. Simplest is to grab the car right next to the
exit at the hotel, then drive north on the wide road. Here you can get
speed and just ram police cars to take them out and lower your wanted
level. Once all the wanted stars are gone, you have finished the
mission.
After this mission Zhou emails you again, as does Chan. Both accuse the
other of being the rat. Since Zhou is closer visit him first.
=== The Fandom Menace ===
Reward: $200
Zhou is very popular. You have to drive him to a meeting at the
construction site in the south. But there are some paparazzi that try to
get a picture. Once one got one, he will drive off on his bike. Chase
him down (red blip) and kill him. This can happen a few times throughout
the whole mission, just always concentrate on killing the reporter
before going on. You pick up Chun Chun Fung at the construction site
then it goes on to the triangle to pickup Chow Chin. Then your trip goes
back to where it started. The best way to deal with the reporters is to
drive by as soon as you see them approach, even before they took the
picture. That will knock them off the bike usually as soon as they take
the picture. Then killing them when they are on foot is easy. With all
back at the starting place, you are done.
Weston sends you an email that he also has some business you could take
care of. Who doesn't.
For now, go to the C blip and step into the yellow marker.
=== Counterfeit Gangster ===
There are some counterfeit things laying around that could put Chan
behind bars. You are tasked to go and destroy it all before the feds
arrive. Destroy the crates just at the garage then go to the new yellow
blips that show up. The northern most one is at the edge of a pier, just
shoot the crates and you are done. The next south one has a crane. Get
in and dump all 4 cars into the water. Space it out a bit or they pile
up on each other. The last one is cars again but these ones you have to
take the bulldozer nearby and push them into the water. The two cars
parked one after the other, if they are not moving, back up and ram them
with some speed, that should do the trick. If you lose the bulldozer
there is a second one on the pier there. With all evidence removed, you
are done.
Chan mails you after this and calls you his Boss and BFF. He has more
work, so head over to the C blip and step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Slaying With Fire ===
Now Chan has completely lost it. He wants you to help him to kill all
his old "friends". They are on Happiness island. Chan flies the chopper
and you have to chuck down Molotov to kill his friends. After you blow
the tanker, your best bet is to carpet bomb the area. Just keep chucking
them out, as they will walk directly into the fire. The ones that stands
a bit to the sides, you need to aim for specially, but most will walk
into the middle area. Then the copter moves to another place, do the
same thing, carpet bomb the area at the corner of the plaza, that's
where most will be. Now they try for the docks. Over there, carpet bomb
the area where the normal pier has that little jetty attached that goes
down to the boats. There you will hit most of them. Now take down the
boats before they can get in. With those gone, you are going towards the
statue. Now there are a lot of guys running around, but ignore them and
concentrate on the ones the game will indicate with a red blip on the
radar, those have rocket launchers. Kill them fast or they will cause a
lot of damage on your helicopter. Once you are around the statue another
chopper will appear. Simply hold the throw distance drawn up and wait
for it to get close enough then bombard it until it crashes. Chan will
drop you off and you are done.
Time to visit Heston. Go to the shield and H blip in north Holland and
step into the yellow chevrons.
=== Operation Northwood ===
Reward: $200
Heston wants to go clean but his dealer has a lot of dirt on him and
doesn't want to let him go so easy, so you have to take care of it.
Outside you will need a fast car. Lucky for you a guy in a banshee pulls
up on the other side of the street. Wait for him to go away a bit then
grab it and drive to the bomb blip. Drive into the garage there and
attach the bomb. Now drive over to the bar at the yellow blip. The
dealer will come out and drive away. Now here is why you need a fast
car, he also drives a banshee and is quick to use the gas pedal. Just
follow him, don't try to shoot or ram him. He will lead you around town
a bit, twice through some alleys but mostly around streets. Then he goes
back north again, past the bomb shop and to an industrial area up north.
The game will not indicate a yellow marker, park the car there. Get out
of the car and the industrial area, across the street and blow the bomb
to finish the mission.
Heston has another lead. Go to the shield and H blip next to the gas
station and step into the yellow marker.
=== Torpedo Run ===
Now Heston wants you to kill of Zhou's boat. Just across the street is
the jetty for the police boats. Run in, ignore the cops and grab the
indicated boat (a destroyer). When you press the A button now, it will
shoot a torpedo, very handy. Go south towards the boat. Now as soon as
you hit it the first time, it will start to throw mines at you. You can
either shoot them to blow them up or just drive around them. About 3
mines is what your boat can stand then it goes to hell, so be careful.
You have unlimited torpedoes so hit it hard and as often as you can.
Once it's down an email will open automatically from Heston. A van with
more contraband is to the south on Colony island. Head there and stand
in the yellow marker on the jetty. You see a van run off, so get after
it. This is rather simple, just drive by the van until the two guys
inside come out. Kill them and destroy the van to complete the mission.
A bit later Zhou emails you, he’s got job. Go to the Z blip and stand
into the yellow marker.
=== So Near, Yet Sonar ===
Reward: 15 bags Acid
Zhou tasks you to find 4 crates that were on board the ship you just
sunk. Get into the salvage boat and head north. Once you are close
enough, the lower screen will show you the sonar view. Ping the sonar to
see the locations of items. Just steer over it and the boat will latch
on to the item on its own, but you have to wind it upwards. You will
find some junk there, but in total there are four crates form Zhou you
need to find. When you get further north you also get chances to raise a
mine and get detected by the coast guard. You can't ping too often or
the coastguard will attack you. Once you have the four crates return to
the jetty and park in the yellow marker.
Hsin emails you after this, so go see him at the H blip.
=== By Myriads of Swords ===
Reward: $
Now Hsin wants you to behead the traitors. Go to the western of the two
yellow blips at Firefly island. As you get close you'll get a red blip,
that’s the leader. You need to kill him with the sword, one hit is
enough. Get close to him, ignore everyone else and kill him. Once he is
dead, kill the bodyguards (now the red blips) and then go back to the
body of the leader (green blip). Collect his wallet and grab the id
(lower right thing). Head to the second area and go in from the back
(east). If you are fast you can kill him before he gets into a car, but
most likely you will be too late. Grab a car and follow him, ignore his
bodyguards. Shoot at the car a bit but follow him mainly until he gets
out. Now behead him, kill all bodyguards nearby and collect his ID
again.
You get an email from Kenny, that he wants to meet at the amusement
park. If you have some police heat, don't worry it will disappear once
you have reached your destination. All you need to do is stand into the
yellow marker on foot and listen to the next deadline for you to find
the sword and the rat.
You'll get mails from Hsin and Lester now. Lester wants you to get him
two bags of Ecstasy and Hsin has a meeting of the midtown gangsters for
you to take care of. Leave Lester out of this for now and head to the H
blip.
=== A Shadow of Doubt ===
You meet Hsin at a train station. A guy in a pink umbrella comes down
and now you have to follow him on foot. Sometimes he turns around and
then you need to hide behind a truck or a corner. The first time the
game will show you a yellow marker for that. Later you have to do this
on your own. Once he has met his contact, you have to get quickly to the
car and plant a bug. With the bug in place they will get in the car and
drive of. Now simply drive towards the blue blip. This and the following
blips just stand still until a new blip appears. That is a place where
they have been last. So just follow the blips until you come to their
safe house and you are done.
Hsin and Rudy D'Avanzo will email you. Time for a raid on the safe
house. Go to the H blip and step into the marker.
=== Friend or Foe? ===
Reward: $300
At the meet get into the van. Now drive to the green blip. There is a
bomb, get out, pick it up, get back into the van and drive over to the
yellow blip. Here you plant the bomb then backup the van against the
hole in the wall. Once the van is in place go to the entrance (yellow
blip) and now defend it against the Koreans. The easiest here is to use
the minigun if you still have it. You will not have any problem at all
to defend this place. Molotov also work pretty good. A health pickup
near where you blew a hole will prolong the battle if you need it. The
game will tell you that they got the safe and have it in the van, now
get in as well and drive back to the garage. On the way there you will
be attacked by Koreans, just ignore them and drive well. In the garage,
you will have to crack the safe and then you are done.
Go to the R blip in Steinway and stand into the yellow marker.
=== Grave Situation ===
Reward: $250
Rudy tells you the traitor is a wise guy named Jimmy Capra that works
for Messina. Of course instantly you get surrounded. Now you have to
fight your way through the grave yard. Rudy will stay hidden but you
have to kill all the goons. They drop armor every couple of waves, so
use that to your advantage. Try to circle them from the side, they often
hide behind one or another object otherwise. It's a long firefight but
you should get out of it relatively easy. At the exit just stand close
to Rudy to finish it up.
Kenny sends an email that you now can use an old safe house in
Northwood, it's close to the northernmost pay and spray in Algonquin.
Now get 10 bags of Ecstasy (buy it, Hove beach is a good place for that
or get it from your stash) then go to the L blip and enter the burger
shot there through the blue chevrons.
=== Double Trouble ===
You have to impersonate Lester for the bikers and impress them with your
bike skills. Outside grab his bike (blue blip) and go to the bikers
hangout in the north and park in the marker. Now you have to ride in
style. First perform a burnout like the game tells you, then jump over
the bikes, turn around and around again, to jump over the wall into the
gas station. Make sure you hit it straight and not hit the pumps (it's
an instant death). The path leads you into an alley and there are The
Lost. You can get off your bike and kill them all here. Once they are
dead get back on your bike and continue. A bit later after driving
between two buildings south, you encounter the lost on bikes. Again kill
all but one but stay on your bike. Once that's done you have to meet up
with Lester again. He will drop some explosives for you. Grab them then
get back on your bike. The yellow blip now indicates a ramp. You can get
onto it from the east, through an alley. Use the ramp to jump into the
park, then go to the base of the big globe. Plant the explosives and see
it kill some Lost members. Lester shows up and thanks you for your help.
Go to the L blip and enter the burger shot again.
=== Faster Pusher Man! Sell! Sell! ===
Reward: 10 bags Coke
Lester is completely on drugs, no chance he can sell the stuff the
angles told him to sell. So you will have to do it for him. You have to
sell to 10 people in the area north of the burger shot. The buyers
appear randomly. Just get close on foot or in a vehicle and stop. The
buyer comes to you, you push one bag over to them and the deal is done.
You have to complete this transaction 10 times. At first all is peaceful
but then you get competition. You have to finish alive and before the
others have sold theirs. If a buyer gets taken by someone else, don't
worry there are plenty more and there are new ones all the time. With
all packs gone, return to the burger shot around the back and park in
the marker to finish.
Stash your coke and wait for a good deal with it, this will be a very
big pay day when you get the chance to sell it.
Heston sends you an email, he has something for you. Go to the shield
and H blip.
=== Scrambled ===
You have to take down a scrambler that makes an illegal wiretap
impossible. Head west and your map will get all fuzzy. now watch for the
bar in the top left. The closer you get to the scrambler the more full
it gets. Just go west until it gets lower again. Now head south until
the same happens, then back east and back north again (this is an
alley). You will see a guy with a red arrow above his head standing
there. kill him then go on foot further north and you find the scrambler
(a van) with 4 more guys protecting it. With the guys dead and the van
destroyed you notice there must be a second scrambler. At the north exit
of this alley is a vest, take it, it will come in handy.
This scrambler is on the roof of a building, in the across the
intersection to the southwest. The building in the northwest corner
there has the scrambler and to the south of it is a gas station. Take
the stairs on the east side of the building and take down the guys on
the roof, then destroy the scrambler. Another scrambler must be around,
as this didn't do it either.
The last one is on the move. Take the road north of the last building
and drive east you should home in on it quickly. Destroy the van and you
are done.
Hsin and Rudy will mail you after this. Go to the R blip and step into
the chevrons.
=== Steal the Wheels===
There is a recorder Rudy wants. It's in a car you need to steal. Go to
the yellow blip. The car is here inside this compound and you can't get
in. Go around to the north of it, and there is a ramp leading south.
Walk up that ramp and you can drop down into the compound. You find a
health pickup in the corner and lots of enemies, that are unlimited in
quantity north. Kill the ones close by then go a bit north and blow up
the tanker next to the gate. Make sure you are far enough away from it.
With the tanker gone, the gate is open. Kill a couple of the enemies
then run for the car. Inside you need to play the hijack mini game then
drive it back to the starting point. You will have some company, just
ignore them and make it to the marker.
Hsin will send you an email, he doesn't like you working with Rudy.
Go to the H blip on charge island and step into the marker.
=== Arms Out of Harm's Way ===
Reward: $200
There is a weapons deal going on and you are just the person to make it
go sour. Go to the docks in the northeast corner and step into the
marker. Now there is a long firefight ahead. Go east inside the compound
and grab the vest. At the containers head around them to the east so you
can outflank your enemies. Head west and pay attention to the guys
rolling in from your right (north). Once you are near the water you will
see the boat taking off. Get on the wet ski and follow them. You need to
drive by them now until the boat explodes. Keep to the side of them
though as they will use mines which blow you off the wet ski. With the
boat sunk, you are done.
Lester and Hsin email you after this and offer more missions.
Go to the H blip and step into the marker.
=== The Wages of Hsin ===
Reward: $2500
Hsin had enough with the Koreans and sends you to clean up once and for
all. Grab the bomb behind the building and go to the yellow blip. As
soon as you enter you get shot at. Kill the guards and make your way to
the closest blip around the left side of the building. Blow up the
structure and defeat the next wave of enemies. Go to the next blip by
going between the buildings and defeat these enemies there. A health
pickup is to your left in the corner. Blow up this one and go to the
last one, again killing the enemies you will see. With that one out, you
have to go around the whole compound again, to the last one for the main
structure. Clean out the enemies on your way and at the end, blow it up.
Now make your way to the waterfront, fast, and step into the marker to
jump into the water. Grab the wet ski and drive off.
Go to the L blip and step into the marker.
=== Convoy Conflict ===
Reward: $200
Hop on the spare bike at the blue blip and follow Lester to the docks.
Now you have to protect the convoy that goes from here to the bikers
home base. Essentially, drive behind and when you see enemies in front
speed up and kill them, then fall back. In meadows park is a roadblock,
just get close and you will see how the lost create it. Kill them and
destroy the cars that make the roadblock so the convoy can drive on.
With both vans safe at the base you are done.
Go to the R blip and step into the marker.
=== The World's a Stooge ===
Reward: $1500
Rudy will give you the recording that will prove your innocence, but he
wants you to play rat squad first and kill the other rats. So go to the
western most blip on the map.
Kill the body guards on land then get on the wet ski. The rat is on the
boat, so concentrate your fire on that until it blows up. This should be
pretty quick, then take down the body guards on wet skis and return to
the shore.
Go to the second blip, the one in the southwestern part of middle park.
If you get lucky you can kill the guy and run away without having to
fight all his body guards. He just stands there on an open plaza. Once
he is dead head for the last one.
This one will get into a car and try to drive off. Just ram his guards
and follow the car. Drive by the car until it blows up and you are done
here.
Heston mails you, he needs your help again.
=== Evidence Dash ===
Reward: $200
His car is dear to him and there is evidence in it, all a bit
complicated. Bottom line, get it back but still in one piece, which is
harder than it sounds. If you have no car or only something semi fast,
across the street is a good one for this. Grab it and follow the car.
Now this part is easy, just follow, it always goes the same way to the
same spot. don't shoot at the car, it will only hurt you. Once the car</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
is in that northwestern area where it stops, there is a huge firefight
going on around there. Just grab the car and drive away. Go straight
till you get to the big road, take the first right and the next one left
to the north again. Now here your chances of survival are a lot better
than on the large open road. Go north then into the pay and spray up
here to repair it. Just a bit to the southeast of here is a safe house
you now own. Get close to it from the north and around there is a quiet
spot that the game wants. Get out of the car and approach the trunk (as
the yellow chevrons indicate). Now the game leads you through torching
the evidence, then get back in. Bring the car back to Heston, but you
will have some of the same troublemakers as before to deal with. Just
avoid them as good as you can and park the car in the marker to finish.
Rudy mails you telling you that you now can get your copy, great. Lester
also mails you and wants tome help.
Go to the R blip and step into the chevrons.
=== Oversights ===
Reward: $250
Take Rudy to the meeting. You are supposed to take down the rat this
time. Rudy drops you off outside a compound. Get through the gate then
up the stairs at the yellow blip. Follow the roof tops to the green blip
and assemble the sniper rifle. You got unlimited shots, so use it. The
talks go bad, so shoot the enemies as fast as you can to protect Rudy.
Keep an overview with the GPS so you know where they come from and zoom
in to get a better view. There will be two cars coming in and reinforce
the whole area, so keep an eye out for those as well. Rudy makes his way
across the area and when all enemies are dealt with, get into a car and
drive off, which is the end of your mission.
Hsin sends a mail and wants to see you right away. Go to the H blip and
step into the chevrons.
=== A Rude Awakening ===
Hsin is very unhappy with you. HE wants you to go and kill Rudy. Take a
car and go north. Go to all three locations (I suggest taking the
southernmost first, then the eastern of the two last and then the
western most). You will find Rudy inside the shop, so enter and you will
find a shocking revelation. Rudy runs away to his car, so chase after
him. You have to drive by his car until it blows up and you are done
with this mission.
Go to the L blip and step into the marker. If you are low on health grab
the health pickup in front.
=== See No Evil ===
Lester still is trying to get info from Meredith. You need to protect
them and keep Meredith from getting too suspicious. Grab a bike (nothing
else will work well) and go to the blue blip. Lester will drive off and
now you have to prevent them from getting too close to the car. Simple
drive by them or ram them so they tumble off their bikes. You don't have
to finish them off. Follow the car and Lester will drive to an apartment
building here he stops and will go inside with Meredith. Now protect the
building by killing the bikers that come at you. After three waves you
are done here.
A bit later Lester will inform you that there is no rat in the gang. You
are running out of places to look. Heston also emails you, he has
another lead. Go to the shield and H blip and step into the marker.
=== Wi-Find ===
Reward: $200
You have to do the impossible and hack the FIB. In the game this is a
lot easier. Just go to the spot that is perfectly in between the two
indicated spots. The icons top left will help you home in. The first is
a bit into an alley. The FIB catches on and you get one star rating. The
next is just a bit down the road to the west, so you can either try to
wait it out (it can resume) or get rid of the star first. Either way, I
would get rid of the star then proceed to the third spot. This one is in
an alley in the block west of the block that goes to a point downwards a
bit north of the last position. After you received here, you get a two
star rating. The next spot is just to the west in an alley, so I would
just ignore the cops as good as you can and try to get the last one this
way. As soon as you did, you get a three star rating. Now you have to
work to get rid of that. Heston sends you an email you have to read, but
he says the same, get rid of the heat first. Level 1 and 2 are
relatively easy, but level 3 is pretty hard already. You will see
roadblocks, but they won’t count as taken out cars, so don't ram them.
Once the heat is gone, return to the point where it all started and park
in the marker.
Heston tells you it was Zhou and Chan, both independently sold out Hsin.
You'll get an email from Kenny a bit later. He has a plan, but Hsin
thinks you are the rat. Go meet him on the west entrance of the Museum
at the K blip and step into the chevrons.
=== Rat Race ===
Kenny thinks after reading the file from Heston that you should show it
to Hsin. He is at a meeting now you only need to get there. Outside you
jump into the truck, on the back. You are the gunner with a minigun in
this case. Keep an eye on the GPS and kill the enemies as they come at
you. You can shoot constantly, you got unlimited ammo. After a while you
come to an alley and the car is toast. Now you reverse roles. All you
need to do is get 5 blocks south. Pull out of the ally, go left then
right again. Now just keep going straight down that road, but not in a
straight line. The helicopter above you tries to target and kill you.
Watch the three targeting triangles on the ground. Once they stay put,
the helicopter fires a rocket there and that will hurt. Easy way is to
simple drive in S curves, constantly veering left and right. Ignore the
rest around you, only the helicopter is really important and just try
not to drive yourself into a stop or a corner. With that you should easy
reach the marker where this will end.
Hsin makes Kenny the new boss, finally.
You get an email from Kenny later telling you that Zhou and Chan have
forfeit their lives. Before you go after them, stock up on armor and
make sure your health is full.
Go to the C blip and step into the marker.
=== Clear the Pier ===
This is a very battle intensive bit. You have to fist clear the outside
of the pier here, which is the area that in GTA 4 basically is the
entrance to the Platypus. Battle your way across the area and use
grenades wisely to avoid getting hit too much. Make your way to the
warehouse and once all are killed outside get in there. Inside I suggest
using the shotgun. Don't go through the door on the left, a grenade will
come in first. Once that is exploded go down that path and through the
warehouse, killing the enemies and leaving again through the other side.
Outside Chan makes a run for it. Kill the last two guys then get into
the car. Your goal is to shoot up the car enough so Chan leaves it. It's
unlikely you will be able to get it to explode just like that, so best
is to trap him and shoot as much as you can while he is trapped. Once he
is out of the car, kill him and his guard. He had it a long time coming.
Go to the Z blip and step into the chevrons.
=== Hit from the Tong ===
Time for Zhou to die. After knocking off the lock, and alerting the
guards, go straight and grab the assault rifle from the red dumpster
ahead of you. Now circle the building to the right and head for the
yellow blip (ignore the guards on the left). Zhou enters a helicopter
and gets whisked away. Kill all the guards down here. There is a vest in
the back to the left and a health pickup on the right side next to the
open dumpster and the lift. Once all are dead take the lift indicated to
the roof. On the roof you get an RPG and the helicopter fight. The
helicopter does two things, rockets and minigun. While it's doing the
rockets thing, you can aim at it and shoot it down. In the minigun phase
your best bet is to stand behind the column. Hit it and once it had
enough you go down the lift again. On the ground more troops have
arrived. Kill them, collect the health and armor pickup and go to the
second lift. On the roof the same game with the helicopter again. Make
certain you stand away from the targets the helicopter makes for the
rocket attacks. On the ground again after this, more enemies attack.
Again kill them and collect the health pickup at the far east fence
between the containers (middle of the plot) and the armor on the western
most side behind a cable roll. Go up the last elevator to the roof.
Again the same game applies. Hit the helicopter while it does it's
rocket attacks and avoid it in the minigun sweep. New rockets will spawn
if you run out. With the helicopter crashed and burnt, get down to
ground level again and you are done.
Henson will send you an email. You have been played again. None of the
two guys were the rats, but they were annoying anyways, so no loss
there. He has something about a meeting on charge island, so go to the
shield and H blip in Steinway and step into the marker.
=== Salt in the Wound ===
Get into a car and drive with Henson over to the desalination plant and
park in the marker. As suspected, the traitor is Kenny. Let's kill
Kenny. IAD and the FIB barge in. Just run up straight north. Heston will
flank to the left through a door and you are to fend your way north on
your own. Go around the pipes, grab the armor and health and make your
way north, eliminating the enemies as you go. When a rocket explodes
just north of you, run fast north and use the cover. When you are close
enough kill the enemy with the rocket launcher. Head further north,
dispatching the guards until you are at a dead end. Heston will come
close to a control room to your left and stand on the upper walk way. Go
close to him and he will try to open the gate. Just cover him, killing
the enemies trying to get close. Collect the armor one of the is
dropping if you need it.
Once the gate is open, go through and you see Kenny escape in a boat. Go
to the Jetty at the yellow blip and stand into the marker. Now you are
commanding a minigun with unlimited ammo. Kill Kenny's guards that try
to get you. Once at the end of your journey, Kenny changes into a car.
He drives south to Hsin's penthouse, just go there by any route you
want, it's not far. Step into the marker at the penthouse, it's time for
the final showdown. After the little dialog, kill Kenny. With Kenny
dead, you have completed Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars.
Congratulations.
== Security Cameras ==
There are 100 security cameras all over Liberty City. The dealer Liam
talks about them in the main mission Tricks of the Triad. After you
complete the main mission Natural Burn Killer, you can actually destroy
them as you need Molotov or grenades to do so. As it happens with
security cameras, they are in important positions guarding an area (more
or less). Usually they are mounted on a roof and they will follow your
movements. During your missions you will encounter a few of them.
Destroying them counts towards 100%.
If you run out of Molotov, just go to the nearest gas station and make a
few more, it's cheaper than buying them from Ammunation and easier to
get to. You can get 10 to 13 Molotovs at a gas station for 200 while
Ammunation (except when they have a sale on Molotov) will only get you 8
for 300, minus the mini game of course.
Thankfully destroying cameras with Molotov does not cause you to get a
wanted rating, even if you are sitting next to a cop.
The locations are described as well as possible. Often the map is taken
as reference. Also the area in which the camera is will be noted. If you
don't know the names, don't worry, just hovering over it in the GPS map
will show it on the upper screen in the lower right corner. That way you
should always be able to tell if you are in the correct area at least.
This list is a work in progress and in no particular order (yet). A map
is also being made.
# Steinway, northwest area. There are three pools there on the map,
close to the water front and just north of the bridge to charge island.
Go to the middle pools east border and you should see it on the building
to the east of you. There also is a drug dealer on top of that building,
can't miss it.
# Francis Intl Airport, south area. South of the terminal and west of
the runways you will find a pier with three short jetties going to the
west and one long to the west. Where the northernmost jetty is, you find
a drug dealer and just north of that is a wall encompassing some tanks.
There are two entrances to that area, as you can see on the map, the
line is broken. The southern of the two entrances has the camera on the
guard hut.
# Purgatory. From the southwest corner of middle park, go one block
south then look at the block to the southwest. On the map it looks solid
except an indentation at the north. Go to that indentation and you will
find the camera on a guard house there.
# Star Junction. From the southwest corner of middle park, skip the
block south of that corner and look closely at the next block. There is
an alley here that goes north south and is a bit wider at the north end.
In here you also find a drug dealer. The camera is found at the north
end on a small guard house, a few steps into the alley.
# Meadow Park. Go to the Meadow Park area, outside the park on the east
side. There are two mansions in the northern area of the park. The
western of the two has this camera on an extrusion of the south facing
wall. A bit to the west inside the park is a dealer.
# Meadow Park. Look at the northeast part of the park on the map where
you see a large square and small squares arranged around it in a circle.
To the west are three separate squares, not part of the circle. Just
north of eastern square of these three squares you can find this camera.
Once you are there you will see an elevated large ring, the camera sits
on that ring.
# Steinway, north shore. On the map, west of the bridge that goes north,
you can see multiple docks going north. The western most has an
extension on the western side of it. Where that dock meets the mainland
in the south, is this camera. There is a wall there on the map (thin
white line) and the camera sits on top of it.
# Castle Garden City, Southwest Algonquin. Just to the northeast of
Happiness Island you can see four docks pointing to the west and two
pointing north. The western one of the two pointing north has this
camera at its north end. There is a ramp there and the camera sits on a
pillar just below that ramp.
# Lower Easton. If you have the Lower Easton safe house already (through
the story) this camera is in the block that is directly northwest of
there. To find it another way, locate the large road going south next to
middle park, this block is to the east of that road. Now look for the
road that goes west off Colony island. Where those two roads cross, go
one block south and the block is to the southeast of this intersection.
Go to the north side of this block, you can see a thin white line on the
map there. The camera is on one of those parking guard houses. A drug
dealer is in that same block in the middle of the alley here as well.
# Lower Easton. In the block just south of the last camera, north side
of it. There is a fence and behind it a dirt lot. The camera is right
there on one of those low buildings. Also a rampage skull is in that
lot.
# Chinatown. One block east of the last camera. It's the same block
where the save house will be once you unlocked it during the main story
missions. The camera is on the east facing outer wall of the block, in
the south area of it.
# East Island City, Chan's garage. By the time you get to destroy
cameras you should have been called to Chan's garage, if not play a
couple more missions and follow the C blip. Otherwise follow the road
from the bridge to charge island to the east, take the second right
(south) and the next one left (east). Just south of you is the block
where the garage is. you can enter through the east side of this block.
Once you are behind the building (south facing wall) You can see it
installed up on the roof in the middle of the lighter colored building
above the garage. This is just a bit west of the chevrons to enter
Chan's building.
# North Holland, Northwest Algonquin. If you follow the road that’s just
north of middle park to the west until you hit the last road before the
shore, there is a block shaped like a mirrored L to your northeast. On
the map you can see there are three buildings on the south edge of that
block. The middle one has on the north side a dealer. This camera is on
the north facing side of the eastern most of these buildings. You can
find it close to the fence to the west, where a green dumpster is you
can search.
# Beechwood City, south east. Locate the Outlook circle on the map
(north east to outlook park in Broker). Now from the circle head
directly east. At the corner where the last road goes north, before the
road you are on curves south, you will find this camera. Just look to
the northeast, it’s on the corner of that building.
# Firefly Projects, east. On the map you can see in the lower right
corner there is one large block that stands out into the water. It is
one connected industrial complex, and you also get to do a mission here
at one point. On its south side is a gate (gap in the walls on the map)
and the camera sits on the wall there, north of the gate. Just behind
it, inside the complex and a bit west is a chainsaw pickup.
# East Holland, just north of the north east corner of middle park. Go
into the alley of that block and you will find a drug dealer in the
smaller westward dead end (behind a chain link fence). Just behind him,
on the wall facing east, you find the camera.
# North Holland. Go to the north end of the second block north of the
northwest corner of middle park. Just west of it is the hospital, whose
southeastern corner is diagonally cut on the map. In the middle alley
here you will find a drug dealer and the camera on the south facing
wall.
# Northwood. Go to the northernmost road in Algonquin and there to the
eastern area. North of that road, look at the map where there are some
fences and an opening in between them, the fences both going towards the
north a bit as well. Go there then walk to the east a bit. There on the
low buildings you will find the camera, next to the two yellow
dumpsters.
# East Holland. Go to the north eastern corner of middle park. From this
intersection go east one block, then go north until the next road goes
east. The camera is on top of the low building in the southeast corner
of that intersection, can’t miss it. Just to the east of it is a drug
dealer.
# Hove Beach? Take the southernmost bridge to the east into Broker. Turn
right (south) on the third intersection. Immediately turn left again
then stop in the middle of this block to the south. Go into the alley
and look east, the camera sits there on the corner of the building.
# Bobao, waterfront. Just east of Colony island is a pier that goes into
the river from Broker. It's the one that goes the furthest to the west
and has a solid white block on the map on it, touching the road to the
east. The camera is on the north side of that building, In the western
area, close to the water.
# East Hook Bay. Look at the map and locate the large boat anchored just
north of the southernmost bridge. From the north end of the ship, a road
goes east then north. On the stretch north, on a building to the east,
is the camera. Look at the map and locate the third building on the
left. The building has a small extrusion on the west and a small walled
in area in the north (thin white line). In the middle of that building,
look to the east and you will find the camera. It is a bit north of
Brucies auto shop.
# Beach Gate. Go through the gate and just follow the road south until
it ends. Now get on foot and go to the east side of the southernmost
building to the east of the road. You’re you find the camera guarding
the backyard.
# Middle Park East. Take the road south of middle park to the east. When
the road stops (you can only go left or right) get out of the car and
turn around facing west. You should see a building that says "60 Diner"
in red letters, north of the road you were driving on. Behind that
building above a wall facing west is the camera. During some mission
with Heston you also get to stand there and see the camera clearly.
# Meat Quarter. On the western shore of Algonquin, a bit to the south of
the middle, are two large piers pointing to the west, which have
structures on them. One is solid, the southern one is hollow and all is
connected. Go to the northwest corner of that structure, then look at
the west facing wall here. There is a sign up there and next to it the
camera.
# City Hall. Follow the road on the map that goes west over the
southernmost bridge. At the fifth intersection you have to go a bit
north and then further west one block. Now directly west are two blocks,
one south and north of the road, that are mostly hollow, dark grey with
a white boarder around it. In the northern one is a structure at the
north end of it. Approach that building from the south and you will find
the camera in the middle of it facing south.
# Castle Gardens. Go to the construction site in Castle Gardens, at the
south east end of Algonquin. In the middle, you can find a gap in the
fence that allows you to drive through, just stop right there and look
west. The camera sits on the low buildings to the west behind the chain
link fence, on the southern most of them, close to the road.
# Fishmarket South. At the east coast of Algonquin at the very southern
end of it, is a pier that looks a like a 90 degree turned L, with a
small white square on it. The camera is on that building that the square
represents, above its west facing wall.
# The Triangle. Go from the Algonquin bridge (second from the south) to
the west. Take the fourth road south (it's the large one that also goes
past middle park) then after one block turn right, to the west. Stop in
the middle of the block south of the road. That block has one alley
going through it, north to south and an extrusion inside the alley to
the east. The camera is on the north wall of the western of the two
buildings, right at the alley entrance. In the block just north is a
drug dealer.
# Star Junction. There is one block at Star Junction that has a bit a
different look on the map. It's south end goes together to a point. It's
just north of the road that comes down from the Algonquin bridge. On the
east side, in the middle, is a sign in gold and above it is the camera.
# Star Junction. On block south of the southeast corner of middle park.
Go to the middle of this block, on its south side. There is a small
kiosk building that sells scratch cards. The camera is on its northeast
corner.
# Industrial, south east Bohan. In the south eastern corner, right next
to where the bridge goes to Dukes, you find an industrial complex on the
east side of the road leading to the bridge. On the east side of that is
a wall (thin white line) that is open in the middle of that block. Just
north of the opening on the wall is this camera.
# Industrial, south Bohan. Just west of the road that leads to the
bridge to dukes is an industrial complex (a larger story mission plays
here). There is a gate at its north side, close to the east end. Just
inside the gate is a small gate house and on it the camera.
# Middle Park. Go to the southwest corner. You'll see four small squares
on the map there. The second most northeastern one is a small kiosk on
the plaza there. The camera is on top of it and just north of it is a
health pickup.
# Boulevard, Bohan. Drive east from the northern most bridge. Take the
second road south, then go through the gap in the wall on your left
(east). In this area you are now, go to the northeast and you will find
the camera on the roof of a small construction container there.
== Random Characters == These stand around all over the map in Liberty
City. Just get close to one and their mission starts. Finding all
characters and completing their missions counts towards 100%. After each
successful mission, you get progress added.
== Giorgio ==
Reward: $20
Cerveza Heights, near your safe house. The very first safe house you
get, Just one block west and on the street south of the house, you will
find a hotdog stand in the northeast corner of that intersection, can't
miss it. HE is only there during the day though. He wants to know if his
wife cheats. Drive to hove beach (yellow blip) and step into the yellow
chevrons behind her car. All you have to do is attach the bug. You'll
see her drive off and you are done.
== Marcy == Algonquin, Presidents City. Where the bridge to colony
island connects to Algonquin, just west of there are four buildings that
look like plus signs. The southwestern one, on the arm that gees to the
west, near the road there is Marcy.
Marcy wants a speed date and she’s not kidding. the simplest way is to
just drive really fast and wave through traffic (creates near misses).
Head to the area just northwest of middle park, there is where she wants
to go once you are done anyways. Deliver her to the hospital up there
once the bar is full and you get to keep the car.
== Drug Dealing ==
Dealing drugs is an essential part in Chinatown Wars. It is for one the
best way to make money, but you also need drugs in certain missions to
be allowed to start it. The main plot mission "Tricks of the Triad"
explains how the process works very simply, but here is a more detailed
view.
There is a large number of drug dealers (unknown to me at the point I'm
writing this) all over the city. They love hidden places, especially
alleys. The ones you already know about show up as briefcases on the
map. Ones you do not know about yet, show up as small blue dots when you
get close to them. To make a dealer "known" you need to go up to him and
press select. No need to buy, just opening the menu will do it. From now
on this one is a small briefcase icon as well. The exceptions are the
"tip off" dealers. They are regular dealers but their icon changed
temporary (more about that below). Finding a drug dealer, counts
directly towards 100%. So to get 100% you need to find every single drug
dealer. For each drug dealer you get 0.07% towards completion.
Drug dealing in general can be done very simply. You buy cheap and you
sell expensive, so you make a good profit. Of course you need some money
first as well. Do some missions or odd jobs (Tattoos pay good for a
start). Now there are three categories. Depressants, Hallucinogens and
Powders. Depressants are Weed and Downers. Hallucinogens are Ecstasy and
Acid. Powders are Heroin and Coke. Now each of these categories has a
price range. The downers are in the 2 to 10 range, Hallucinogens are
around 200 to 400 and Powders 900 to 1100. So you can see, before you
can even buy one bag of a powder, you will need to sell a lot of weed.
So now where to buy and where to sell what. The game gives you the turf
map. It also shows you in which turf they sell and buy which thing. On
the left you see the items they sell, so if you need weed, then go to
the Jamaicans for example. Now on the right side it shows you what those
territories want in drugs. So you buy something from a territory where
they supply it (it's cheap there) and sell it to a territory that wants
it indicated on the right.
This works to some extent and can help you find drugs (if you have none
stashed) if you need them for a trade or a mission. In general I suggest
to not do the deals like this. The profits are weak and you spend a lot
of time ferrying around between dealers. A much better way is to use the
tips.
You will get tips from time to time by email (yellow envelopes, not
important mails). Read them and it will tell you what the tip is. There
are selling and buying tips. If you go to the trading program on your
PDA you will see the latest tips shown in the upper screen. The icons
show what drug it is (self explaining) and the arrows tell you what the
tip type is. Red arrows means you can buy this drug cheap here, green
arrows means this place pays way above normal for this drug.
Now every time you get a tip for a cheap buy, go and buy as much as you
can, then stash it in your apartment. Later when you get a tip for
selling this drug, you will make a killing. At the start, when you don't
have much money (and no large stash) buy drugs normally from territories
that supply them when you get a sell opportunity. That alone will make a
difference and enlarge your drug empire.
So in short, always use buy tips and stash the drugs. Always use sell
tips and buy the drugs from normal sources if you don't have any in your
stash.
While buy tips have a limitation of available product, sell tips don't.
You can sell them a whole stack of 50 bags all at once and I suggest you
try to do that if possible financially for you.
While dealing with drugs, you can always run into a "bust". This means
after you exit the dealing screen, you get a two star rating. It's
random so you can't really help it. Don't try to shake the rating,
instead escape to the nearest safe house, stash the drugs, then save the
game. The wanted level will disappear and your drugs are safe.
Also stash the drugs before going on a mission or doing anything else.
If you get busted, your drugs will be taken from you. The exceptions are
the missions that require you to have some drugs on you as "buy in".
Once you make a profit over $2000 you get the silver safe in your safe
house. After dealing a lot powders the golden syringe gets added. The
hallucinogens dealing will bring you the Diamond Pillbox. And for the
Depressants you get the Jeweled Bong. You can't do anything with them,
they are just there to look at.
So good luck in drug dealing!
== Safe Houses==
From your first steps into Liberty City you can find all over the map
these little blue house icons. Each of them is a safe house you can buy.
Here a list with all of them so you know where they are roughly and what
they will cost you.
Steinway, $1500, Garage, Not secluded
== Side jobs ==
=== Go-Kar-TT ===
This one is on Firefly island, southwestern most edge of this Broker
area. On the map you can see the tracks and a building in the southeast
corner. To start this, you need to get into the kart that is parked
outside the buildings west wall. You can then select between 4 tracks.
=== Noodle Run ===
There are two vans in the city with a dragon on top of it. Not the one
from the heist with Kenny, but a small variant.
One of them can be found in Chinatown Algonquin, the block directly
southeast of the Lower Easton safe house you get from the story. It's
parked at the west end of the alley that goes west east through that
block. In the middle of that alley is a health pickup. Another way to
find it is to locate the intersection of the road that passes east of
middle park and the road that comes off the broker bridge (southern most
bridge). The block in question is directly to the northeast of that
intersection.
The second is in Broker, a detailed description will follow as soon as I
have located it again.
