My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA). I also own multiple systems such
as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation
(1, 2, 3, and 4), Xbox, and Xbox 360.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have
extended the play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many
times over plus I have received many letters from all over the world.
I am also a member of the following forums:
>>GameFAQs
>>GamesX
>>AtariAge
>>Digital Press
>>GTA Forums
>>The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" players who met on the Vice City message boards at
GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include "Godzilla" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and "Red Dwarf". I am also a long time soundtrack collector
with many titles in my possession. As far as favorite sports teams go, my
teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA) [the local team], the Denver Broncos
(NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am originally from Colorado Springs,
Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA Football).
This guide was constructed using BBEdit Lite 6.1 and a Power Mac Workgroup
Server 8550/200. It is now being maintained using TextWrangler on an Apple
Mac Mini. I view my work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the
web and correct format errors.
For my guide work I have more than twenty memory cards for my PlayStation 2.
Many of the memory cards are dedicated to "Grand Theft Auto III", "Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City" (Original Version (1.40)), "Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas" (which uses up fifteen cards), "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City
Stories", and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories".
These memory cards allow me to quickly go and try out new ideas (and modify
old ones) when they occur to me or suggested by others.

\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Welcome to my "Grand Theft Auto III" guide! If this is the first time you
have visited then you will find a lot of useful information in a highly
organized format that you can use to beat all of the missions of the game.
Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are presented "as is" and may include
spelling and grammatical errors. I also employ some creative writing in the
chapter "Liberty City: 1998 to 2001" and in the tour guide sections.
The main emphasis of this guide is to provide creative and simple solutions
to many of the missions for "Grand Theft Auto III". Many hours were spent
going over each mission and finding unique ways to solve them. I think you
will be surprised by many of the solutions found here.
I also reference the map/poster that comes with the game (there is also a map
in the manual). Some of the location names come from that.
I have worked hard to make sure that this guide is as complete as possible
but at the same time leave room for exploration. I even included interesting
and humorous anecdotes, observations and lines from GTA3. I hope that you
enjoy this guide as much as learn from it.
While this guide was written initially for the PS2 version of the game, it
may also benefit those with the PC and Xbox versions of GTA3. If any of the
strategies in this guide won't work in either the PC or Xbox versions then
feel free to write me and let me know so I can make additional adjustments in
future revisions.
This guide is designed so that you can do the missions without any cheat
codes. However, I have included one code, the Health Code (in "Advanced Tips
And Information"), to give you a little flexibility because there are some
areas, especially the Ambulance Mission, where you may wish to use it.
Another emphasis of this guide is *ORDER*. If you do the missions and tasks
in a certain order then the game will be easier and more fun for you.
Although the guide follows more or less the traditional story order, there
are ways to acquire more powerful weapons early in the game. The chapter "The
Porter Tunnel Glitch" is the best way to get these weapons early plus allow
you to do all of the side-missions prior to doing the Main Story Missions.
Each Hidden Package, Unique Stunt Jump, and Rampage has a letter designation
to make them easier to identify in this guide. In addition, there is a three
letter Neighborhood Prefix (listings below) indicating a particular
neighborhood or area where the item can be found (in these examples I use
"XXX"):
>>Hidden Packages will be identified with an "H".
--Examples: Hidden Package [XXX-H21].
Package [XXX-H32].
>>Rampages will be identified with an "R".
--Examples: Rampage [XXX-R4].
>>Unique Stunt Jumps will be identified with a "J".
--Examples: Unique Stunt Jump [XXX-J24].
Jump [XXX-J8].

"Grand Theft Auto III" is the successor to the moderately successful "Grand
Theft Auto 2". The first GTAs used a top-down perspective and a complex
control scheme that kind of made the game hard to get into.
GTA3 put the main character in third person and the control layout made it
easier to play. Rockstar made up a reasonably good story with real actors,
like Joe Pataliano ("The Matrix", "The Sopranos") and Kyle Maclachlan
("Dune", "Twin Peaks").
They also made up a world where you can do just about anything at any time
regardless of whether it was violent or not. The combination resulted in
making GTA3 one of the most popular vidgames of all time. And set up a
succession of titles that make up one of the most popular game series of all
time.
This also includes both "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories" and "Grand
Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" which filled in more details on their
respective cities and histories.
And continues all the way to "Grand Theft Auto V" which further expands and
refines what was started with the first three games.
With that said, let's get down to the business of the guide itself and I
will start with the differences between the Original and Double Pack versions
for the PS2.....

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
After doing some closer examination of both my Original Version and Double
Pack Version discs I concluded that there are no major differences between
the Original, Greatest Hits and Double Pack versions of GTA3.
Originally I thought that they had changed the requirements of the Ambulance
Mission for the DP version but one of my readers, Dan Schauer, indicated to
me that this was not so and I verified his information. More details on that
in the Ambulance Mission portion of the guide.
In addition, I placed my GTA3 discs in my Mac and opened up the file
"system.cnf" in BBEdit Lite:
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SLUS_200.62;1
VER = 1.40
VMODE = NTSC
This was the case for both the Original and Double Pack discs. This means
that the Original and Double Pack are of the same version number (1.40).
Since the Greatest Hits version came out before the Double Pack then this
means that it is also version 1.40.
If Rockstar had made any major changes to "Grand Theft Auto III" the version
number would change (and the game saves from the new version would be
incompatible with the old version).
However, they did make a couple of tweaks without changing the major portion
of the code and version number:
0===========================================================================0
| "Uzi" in the Original Version is now called the "Uz-I" (I use this |
| alternate spelling in the guide). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| One of the songs for Double Cleff FM, "O Mio Babbino Caro", was removed |
| starting with the PS2 Double Pack. It is not on any of the Xbox versions |
| either. It was probably removed due to expiration of the license required |
| for it to be in the game, a problem that has plagued reissues of some of |
| the other GTA games. Thanks goes to Blank Blank for that find. |

| Overall \
0====================================================>
The graphics for the PlayStation 2 version of GTA3 are pretty clean and the
game runs very well with no sudden pop-ins or texture loading problems
(when running off the DVD-ROM). The sound is pretty decent as well.
0====================0
| Xploder HDTV Player \
0====================================================>
Xploder HDTV Player is a disc that will allow PlayStation 2 owners to play
most of their games in Progressive Scan mode. Many games will work but some
of them will have issues.
GTA3 works great in 480p mode. However, the main title intro will be a
little glitchy because of "line meshing issues". This is because the intro
is actually a "film" instead of using the game graphics. It is to my
understanding that XHDTV doesn't handle film based stuff well and that
results in the jittery looking intro.
But this is actually a minor problem since you can easily skip the opening
credits by pressing the X Button. After you get past the intro then all is
good.
Because the graphics are designed for 480 vertical resolution, it is not
recommended that you put "Grand Theft Auto III" in any mode higher than
480p. The higher resolution modes, like 720p, simply shoehorn the 480
graphics into the higher end modes and tend to really squash the screen.
0=================0
| GS Mode Selector \
0====================================================>
This is a small program that is used with the memory card exploit known as
Free McBoot. Like with HDTV Viewer you can also view games in progressive
scan using this program. Unfortunately, this program does not work with
this game.
0=========0
| HDLoader \
0====================================================>
This program, which has been floating around the internet for years, will
let you install your favorite games onto a hard drive (assuming you have an
older style PS2 "Fatty" (with a Network Adapter) or an early version of a
PS2 "Slim" that has been modified to use a hard drive).
There are two variants of this program. The first variant is HDLoader which
is freeware and HDAdvance which is not. It is best to use HDLoader since it
is free and gets updated from time to time to improve compatibility and
functionality. HDLoader is best installed with a popular memory card
exploit known as Free McBoot.
GTA3, from what I know, has always been compatible with the earliest
versions of HDAdvance and HDLoader.
Why install the game on a hard drive? For starters, less wear and tear on
the DVD-ROM mechanism (that is assuming if it still works - thankfully you
can install games onto the hard drive from a PC as an option using a
program called WiinHip).
But mainly it is for faster loading speeds. Oddly enough, other than the
fact that it takes less than five seconds for the game to load up to the
logo screen from the game menu in HDLoader and the fact that the initial
load is much faster, there is practically no speed difference in any given
situation within GTA3. However, it is still nice to play it off the hard
drive.
But.....
Before you start playing GTA3 off of the hard drive there is something
*VERY IMPORTANT* you must do first.
After installing the game onto the HDD, highlight GTA3 on the Game List
menu and press SELECT. This will bring up the Game Compatibility Settings.
It will look like this:
Slow HDD access: No
Disable DVD9 support: No
Kill HDL After launch: No
Date/timefix 2: No
Date/timefix 3: No
Disable network support: No
Disable CzC patch: No
Soul Calibur 2 / Suikoden V: No
As you can see all of the default settings are set to "No". You need to
make the following changes to make sure that GTA3 works perfectly with
HDLoader:
Slow HDD access: No
Disable DVD9 support: No
Kill HDL After launch: YES <----------
Date/timefix 2: YES <----------
Date/timefix 3: No
Disable network support: No
Disable CzC patch: No
Soul Calibur 2 / Suikoden V: No
Although I kill HDL as a precaution it is the timefix option that is most
important. If you do not change this setting then, if you decide to make
new game saves or overwrite an existing one, you will create a save with an
incorrect time stamp that is also corrupted.
It will use the date of January 1, 2000 at 00:00 instead of what your
system clock has (this also happened with "Liberty City Stories"). But it
isn't just that. Apparently HDL does something in addition to the incorrect
time-stamp to do something that the game doesn't like.
What will eventually happen is that when you go to pause the game you will
crash the program. If you restart the game then the program will crash as
it is loading up when it accesses the Memory Card.
Interesting enough, if you do not make these changes, then you can still
make game saves but only if you overwrite an existing one. Still, it is
best to make these tweaks just to make sure nothing bad happens when
playing GTA3.
0================0
| Open PS2 Loader \
0====================================================>
This program is meant to replace HDLoader and is more solid than HDL. You
use this in place of HDL and it will recognize the HDD and all the games
you have already installed.
OPL, or "Opal" as I like to call it, has its own compatibility modes for
games and won't recognize the settings used in HDL. Based on the time I
have played GTA3 on Opal I found it to run just as smooth as it was on HDL.
Unlike with HDL there are no timestamping issues to worry about so you
can't make a corrupted game save.

| B. PlayStation 4 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
In late 2015 Sony offered a new service on the PlayStation 4 called PS2
Classics in which PlayStation 2 games would be released and played on the PS4
through an emulator. The GTA Trilogy (GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas) would
be some of the first titles released in this program. Although this doesn't
sound that much different from what the PlayStation 3 offered there is one
big difference:
Trophies.
You can now play PlayStation 2 games on the PS4 and earn Trophies for your
Trophy List just like you can for the regular PS3 and PS4 games. This guide
will cover how you can get all of the Trophies for this version of the game.
As for the emulator, the game runs very well and looks great making the game
look like the PC version (it has been made to render in 720p). However, it
does stutter a little now and then and can stutter quite a bit depending on
how much is going on at once. But that doesn't happen very often.
One thing to note is that you cannot make virtual Memory Cards like you can
on the PS3. This is mainly to prevent Trophy cheating but you can still make
backups of your "card" for safe keeping.
Finally, the emulator doesn't just emulate the main chips - it also emulates
the DVD-ROM drive. This means that, even though the game is on the hard
drive, if the game loaded slow on the original hardware then this version
will load just as slow in the emulator.

| Overall \
0====================================================>
The graphics on the Xbox version are better than the PS2 version and
animate very well. In addition, the Xbox version has greater draw distance
and is much brighter than the PS2 version. Oh and let's not forget
Progressive Scan (Component Video only) for the Xbox version.
The sound quality is about the same between the PS2 and Xbox versions of
GTA3. The Xbox version gets a slight edge due to its custom soundtrack
feature.
The controls on the Xbox version are OK even though doing drive-bys is a
little awkward because you have to use the Right Analog Stick. The PS2
version gets the edge here because it is easier to do drive-bys with the L2
and R2 Buttons.
However, GTA3 glitches out very bad if you happen to have an Xbox with a
Thompson drive (I had to trade in my initial Xbox because of this problem).
The best way to tell if you have the bad drive is when you load up the
game. If you can hear the title music but the screen remains black then you
have the bad drive. Microsoft used two other drives in addition to the
Thompson drive and only a drive replacement will solve this particular
problem.
0=============0
| Xbox Softmod \
0====================================================>
Like with the PS2, you can also modify the Xbox to allow for hard drive
installation of games using a softmod. I've had one reader, Velid Sales,
write to me about doing it to his Xbox and that GTA3 runs pretty well this
way.
At this time I have not softmodded any of my Xboxes but it is something I
am considering doing in the future now that MicroSoft no longer has Xbox
Live support for the Original Xbox.
0==========================0
| Original Xbox Differences \
0====================================================>
There are only a couple of differences between the PS2 and Xbox versions:
0=======================================================================0
| Catalina looks very different in the Xbox version. She has a |
| different hairstyle, a very revealing top, a tattoo on her lower |
| back, slight panty exposure (around her pant line), and a navel ring. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| The dialogue in the cutscene for "Under Surveillance" was changed. |
| Asuka mentions that the federal agents are doing the surveillance |
| instead of the Mafia. However, while the spoken dialogue was changed, |
| the subtitles were not thus making the cutscene a little awkward. |

GTA3 works with the latest Backward Compatibility updates for the Xbox 360
(you need the Hard Drive to play Original Xbox games on the Xbox 360).
You can play GTA3 in many different resolutions depending on your monitor or
HDTV setup. It looks and plays pretty good (although the main title intro
chugs quite a bit). However, if you play it in 720p mode, then you may find
that it slows down a little from time to time because the Original Xbox
version was not meant to be played any higher than 480p.
Three bad things about playing GTA3 on the Xbox 360:
>>You can't do custom soundtracks like you could on the Original Xbox.
>>You can't transfer game saves to an external memory card for safekeeping.
>>You can't transfer games saves from the Original Xbox to the Xbox 360.
But one good thing about playing GTA on the Xbox 360 is that the White and
Black buttons (from the Original Xbox controller) are replaced by the Left
and Right Buttons which are situated above the Left and Right Triggers on the
Xbox 360 pad.
Sadly, even if you use a USB-to-Xbox adapter, you cannot use an Xbox 360
controller with the Original Xbox.

One of the things that the Intel based Macintoshes can do is something called
BootCamp. This will allow you to install Windows on the Mac on its own
partition and you can switch to that operating system when you want to.
According to fellow Macintosh user John Fitzgibbons you can install the PC
version of "Grand Theft Auto III" on the Mac and it will run with no issues
under BootCamp.
There is now a Mac version of the game available but it is actually the PC
version that is made to work on the Intel Macs by using something called
"wrappers". It may be best to track down the PC version and find a wrapper
that is best suited to what version of OSX you have since I know that the
official wrapped version of Vice City will not work on version OSX 10.8 and
above.

rest before you can run again. Tapping the button in rhythm will serve
to help you run a little longer.
The more times you run, the better your stamina will be. You can solve
the problem of tiring out by acquiring the Infinite Run feature which
is obtained by successfully completing the Ambulance Mission (detailed

enemy. Use the Previous Weapon and Next Weapon Buttons to switch

Attack Button is used to swing at your target.
When using Grenades then the same button is used to throw your weapon
at the target. The longer you hold, the farther you throw.
When holding a gun (like a Pistol) or a heavy weapon (like a Rocket
Launcher) then you use the Attack Button to shoot. Use the Target
Button in conjunction to aim at your enemy.

| >GEN6. Claude Speed |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
In "Grand Theft Auto III" the main character is never mentioned by name
(except as "Fido" by Maria Leone). Originally you were to have the option to
name him just like you could in the first "Grand Theft Auto" game.
But Rockstar decided to drop that idea so the main character went un-named.
And most people on the gaming forums called him Fido (because that is what
Maria Leone calls him later in the game) just to give him an identity.
And, in earlier versions of this guide, I had given him another name: Alex.
This was to identify him better within the guide and give him a little
personality. However, in "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas", the main character
of GTA3 made an appearance as he hooked up with Catalina. And she called him
Claude (although he didn't speak and she didn't use his last name).
But Claude also appeared in "Grand Theft Auto 2" and his full name, as is
listed in the credits in the game manual, is Claude Speed. I would later</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
change this guide to accommodate this revelation.
According to Austin Taft the name Claude also appears in the "american.gxt"
file on the PlayStation 2 version of GTA3. It appears just before the main
group of readable text (that starts with the line "Hey! Get back in the
vehicle!").
Some people have suggested that the Claude character that was used in GTA2 is
not the Claude that is in GTA3. In my opinion, that is correct.
In my eyes, GTA3 is a reboot of the "Grand Theft Auto" series. As Rockstar
restarted the series they recycled the city names from GTA1 (Liberty City,
Vice City, and San Andreas) and the Claude Speed name from GTA2.
Likewise, GTA IV is another reboot of the GTA series. As before, Rockstar has
recycled the city names from the previous series and has also recycled the
Lazlow character that has appeared in most of the GTA games plus the Claude
Speed outfit that you can earn and wear.
In addition, somebody named the_old_days posted this interesting tidbit about
Claude's name over at GameFAQs:
"So I was always interested in the protagonist of GTA III's name as Claude
Speed.
Most GTA veterans know that naming GTA III's protagonist Claude is a throw
back to GTA 2's protagonist, but I thought there may perhaps be a deeper
meaning behind the name "Claude Speed" and how it relates to GTA III.
Claude is derived from Latin and literally means "lame" or "crippled", or
basically disabled. As Claude in GTA III and San Andreas is apparently
speech impaired, this name is obviously apt.
I always thought that perhaps Claude had migrated to the GTA "USA", and
perhaps never bothered to learn to speak the English language. The modern
use of "Claude" as a name originated in post Latin (or, post-Roman)
France. So Claude could very well be an immigrant from France and this
could very well be the reason behind his apparent in-ability or
un-willingness to speak as well. Though more likely he is from the UK, as
breaking down his last name will show.
Speed could directly relate to Claude's ability behind the wheel, as
Catalina points out in San Andreas when she has Claude challenge CJ to a
race. However, Speed as a last name has a deeper origin.
Speed as a surname (or its variations Spede, Speyde, Speid, and Speede)
has its origins in Saxon England, in Suffolk before the Norman Invasion.
When the Normans invaded there was an eventual merger of the Saxon and
Norman cultures. So, an individual named Claude Speed most likely is a
result of a mash up of cultural names the occurred centuries ago in the UK
after the Normans and Saxons finally assimilated into a unified culture
(this assimilation is used generically, there are variations between
Saxon-ism Norman-ism that exist in England/Britain to this day).
Still, Claude Speed is mostly a modern day UK based name. Claude being
brought by the Normans, and Speed already existing as a Saxon surname.
So Claude Speed is most likely an immigrant from the UK. Since he most
likely grew up in an English speaking culture before migrating to the
"USA", he most likely is actually speech impaired.
There you go."

Every metropolis has a Police force and Liberty City is no different. When
you do something bad near a Cop, like mugging a person, then one of the stars
will light up indicating a Wanted Rating. The Cops will then try to bust you.
The more stars you have, the more aggressive they will be. There are several
ways to get rid of a Wanted Rating:
0===========================================================================0
| Hiding out somewhere for a bit (only works at 1-Star). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Driving a car (excluding rescue and most Police Vehicles) into a Pay 'N' |
| Spray. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Getting a Police Bribe Icon (drops the Wanted Rating down a notch). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Completing the current mission (if you get a Wanted Rating during one). |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Getting Busted or Wasted. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Saving your game then reloading the saved game (thanks goes to LR for |
| that handy bit of info). |
0===========================================================================0
There are six Wanted Ratings. The higher you go, the more aggressive the
pursuit. Listed below are the Wanted Ratings and what you can expect:
0=======0
| 1-Star \
0=====================================>
You are of mild interest to the Cops. They will chase you on foot and will
smack you with their fists when close enough. They would rather not be
chasing you but will be more than happy to bust you if you're stupid enough
to let them. Hiding out somewhere for awhile will get rid of a 1-Star
Wanted Rating.
0=======0
| 2-Star \
0=====================================>
Things get a bit more serious here. The number of Cops increase a bit and
they will start shooting you instead of hitting you with their fists.
0=======0
| 3-Star \
0=====================================>
At this level a helicopter will start pursuing you and will shoot at you if
you stand still long enough for it to do so. And the Police will get more
aggressive in their pursuit of you.
0=======0
| 4-Star \
0=====================================>
Now the SWAT team joins in. They will try to blockade the road with their
Enforcers in addition to everything else being thrown at you. This is the
highest wanted level you can obtain while (officially) confined to Portland
Island.
0=======0
| 5-Star \
0=====================================>
The FBI will now lend their assistance in hopes of bringing you down. They
will ride in black FBI Cars and carry four agents, all packing AK-47's, and
they are not afraid to use them.
In addition, a second helicopter will join in tracking you down. The FBI
Car is the only Police Vehicle that you can use in a Pay 'N' Spray. You can
max out at 5-Star after completion of the mission "Last Requests".
0=======0
| 6-Star \
0=====================================>
After making mincemeat of the Police force, including the FBI, then the
city will now call in the Army to deal with you. They will come in with
Rhinos and trucks and will mainly try to kill you (but they will arrest you
if the opportunity presents itself).
The soldiers will kill you quickly with their M-16's and barely getting
touched (while in a vehicle) by a Rhino will spell certain death. It will
be quite difficult to survive at this level for very long. You can achieve
this maximum Wanted Rating after completion of the mission "A Drop In The
Ocean".

In addition to all of the other cars you can take in Liberty City you can
also use Police Vehicles. The main reason for acquiring one is for the
Vigilante Mission which is explained later in the guide. In addition, some
have additional features and bonuses that can help you.
Below is the list of Police Vehicles you can use in Liberty City:
>>Police Car
**********
Found: On the street and at all Police Stations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You get five Shotgun shells when entering a Police Car. If you
don't already have a Shotgun then you can get a Shotgun with
five shells.
>>SWAT Enforcer
*************
Found: During a 4-Star Wanted Rating and at the back of the Torrington
Police Station on Staunton Island.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You can get Body Armor when entering a SWAT Enforcer.
>>FBI Car
*******
Found: During a 5-Star Wanted Rating.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Can be used at a Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of a Wanted Rating.
>>Rhino
*****
Found: During a 6-Star Wanted Rating - also unlocked at Phil Cassidy's
Army Surplus at the end of the Main Story Missions (unless you
push it to your Safehouse after completion of the mission "Arms
Shortage").

As noted above, you can drive a car, excluding Police and rescue vehicles,
into a Pay 'N' Spray to change the color of your vehicle, as well as repair
it, to get rid of Wanted Ratings at a cost of $1,000. There are three Pay 'N'
Sprays in Liberty City where you can go to get rid of your Wanted Ratings and
repair your vehicle:
>>Red Light District (Portland Island).

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
If you get a Wanted Rating, and the Cops end up catching you, then you are
Busted. Any mission you were doing at the time will be Failed. When you are
Busted then you are sent to the nearest Police Station where you will be
processed (which takes six game hours) and released. You also lose all
weapons including your Body Armor.
In addition, you will be fined based on the number of Wanted Rating Stars you
have when you are Busted:
>>1-Star: $100.
>>2-Star: $200.
>>3-Star: $400.
>>4-Star: $600.
>>5-Star: $900.
>>6-Star: $1,500.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**NOTE: You won't be fined after you get Busted on your first 6-Star Wanted
Rating run but you will be fined the next time you are Busted at
6-Star Wanted Rating.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three Police Stations in Liberty City where you may find yourself
if you are Busted by the Cops:
>>Portland View (Portland Island).

explosion, getting shot up a lot, or drowning, then you will be Wasted. Any
mission you were doing at the time will be Failed.
When you are Wasted then you are sent to the nearest Hospital where you will
be treated (which takes six game hours), billed $1,000 and released. You also
lose all weapons including your Body Armor. There are three Hospitals in
Liberty City where you may find yourself if you are Wasted for any reason:

Even though you can do everything in this guide without the use of any
cheat codes I felt that I should provide this one to give the user a little
bit of flexibility. There are several areas of the game that can possibly
frustrate gamers and this code can be of use there. There are also a few
areas where I actually encourage its use (like the Ambulance Mission):
>>[PS2] - R2 Button (x2), L1 Button, R1 Button, Left , Down, Right, Up,
Left, Down, Right, Up
>>[Xbox] - Black Button, Black Button, Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Left,

| Quick Targeting \

When locking onto targets with a gun (like a Pistol) while holding down
Target then you can use the Next and Previous Weapon buttons to switch
targets. You can also let go of the Target button and quickly press it
again to pick up another target (after you kill the previous one).

| The Tank Gun Boost \
0=========================================================>
When you want to increase the speed of the often slow Rhino then rotate the
Main Gun 180 degrees so that it faces the rear. Then fire the gun and keep
firing. The gun recoil will then propel it forward. The faster you fire,
the faster the tank will go.
You can make the tank go very fast this way. But you will jack up your
Wanted Ratings because you are usually destroying stuff behind you.
According to reader Justin Castillo, this doesn't work well on the Xbox
version because, when you rotate the turret, you also rotate the camera.
While you can see what you are shooting at, you will not be able to see in
front of the tank.

| Perfect Quadruple Insane Stunt? \
0=========================================================>
One of the things GTA3 players like to do is to get the best Insane Stunt
possible. The best I have done is a Perfect Triple Insane Stunt. This is
about as high as most players have achieved. There was talk about whether
or not you can do a Quadruple Insane Stunt but no one has ever reported
doing one and everybody said that there is no such thing.
But, while perusing the "american.gxt" file on the PS2 version (with the
disc inside my Mac), I came across this listing of Insane Stunts:
>>Insane Stunt
>>Perfect Insane Stunt
>>Double Insane Stunt
>>Perfect Double Insane Stunt
>>Triple Insane Stunt
>>Perfect Triple Insane Stunt
>>Quadruple Insane Stunt
>>Perfect Quadruple Insane Stunt
As you can see, there is a Quadruple Insane Stunt listed. But, since no one
has ever reported doing one, then I have come up with two possibilities:
One, that Rockstar took out the Quadruple rating (but left the text) or
two, that the requirements for a Quadruple Insane Stunt are so high that no
one has figured out how to get it yet. If anybody has managed to get either
a Quadruple Insane Stunt or a Perfect Quadruple Insane Stunt then I'd like
to hear about it and how you did it so I can put it in future revisions.

| Stock-Up Trick \
0=========================================================>
If you have a bunch of Weapon Icons at your Portland Island Safehouse then
you can quickly gain ammo for your weapons with this little trick.
Open the garage and remove any vehicle inside (just park it nearby for
now). Then pick up all of the Weapon Icons to increase your ammo, run all
the way to the back wall of the garage and run out. You will see that all
of the Weapon Icons have immediately regenerated. Repeat this until you
have lots of ammo for your weapons.
According to Josh Dady, this trick also works with the Police Bribes that
spawn at your Safehouses. Then save your game, after re-parking your
vehicle inside your garage, before resuming.
0=================0
| The Hooker Trick \
0=========================================================>
You can increase your health above 100 (up to 125) by picking up a
prostitute (preferably with a four-door car) and driving her to a secluded
place to do "business". Thanks to Antonino Giuseppe Cardinale, Jr. and
Scotty Boutin for pointing out something that should have been in this
guide from the start.
According to reader Justin Castillo, you can also do this with convertible
vehicles. Even though the car doesn't go up and down, you will still see a
health increase.
0====================0
| The Elevated Tracks \
0=========================================================>
One of my readers, J Bush, pointed out that if you get a Wanted Rating and
get onto the elevated tracks on Portland Island then you can gradually get
the Wanted Rating down.
This is because there is a Police Bribe on the tracks next to XXXMags and,
if you stay on the train long enough, then you can gradually get the Wanted
Rating down to nothing as you use the train as protection. Depending on how
many stars you have this may take awhile since it takes some time for the
Police Bribe to re-spawn.

| >GEN14. The Purple Nines Glitch (All Versions) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the most notorious bugs in the GTA series is one called the Purple
Nines Glitch. This is a problem that has snared many an unwary gamer,
including myself, since the PS2 version came out. Sadly, this problem was
*NOT* fixed in the PS2 Double Pack version and even appears in the Xbox
version though it is one of the most well known problems in the game.
What is the Purple Nines Glitch? The glitch is related to the D-Ice missions
in Wichita Gardens which become available in the latter half of the game.
Most of the D-Ice missions involve the removal of a rival gang, the Purple
Nines. When you first arrive at Wichita Gardens then you will see plenty of
gang members roaming about. Some will wear red shirts (the Red Jacks) and
some will wear purple (actually lavender) shirts (the Purple Nines).
After the completion of the mission "Rumble" then you will effectively
destroy the Purple Nines and from then on you will not see any Purple Nines
roaming Wichita Gardens. You will see nothing but Red Jacks.
The bug manifests itself when you decide to start a new game after completion
of the mission "Rumble" using the New Game option in the Options menu.
Naturally the game will reset everything, gangs, vehicle lists, Hidden
Packages, and so on.
Everything, that is, except the Purple Nines. For some reason that remains
off.
So, when you make your way back to D-Ice and do his first mission, "Uz-I
Money", then there are no Purple Nines to be found - the game won't generate
any. Therefore, it becomes impossible to complete the mission and you won't
be able to access his other missions either thus denying you a chance at 100%
Completion.
How do you get around it when you want to start a new game? There are three
ways.
First, reload a saved game that is prior to "Rumble" and then do New Game.
Second, is to keep your first saved game, right after the mission "Luigi's
Girls", in one slot and never overwrite it. Then, if you want to start a new
game, simply load up this saved game and play anew.
And third, thanks to Fred Chagnon, is to load up the game with no memory card
in the slot. After loading up the game, which will start anew because there
was no memory card in the slot to load up a saved game, then you can put in
your memory card to save any new games you come up with.

After the events of "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories", here is what
has happened between then and now.....
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
While it was understandable that the ferry workers were upset over the Porter
Tunnel project, no one seemed to have paid any attention to the Callahan
Bridge. When the Bridge was opened in late 1998, ferry rider-ship plummeted.
Why pay for the ferry when you can go over the Callahan Bridge for free?
Almost a year after the Callahan Bridge was opened, the ferries were shut
down. At that point construction began on the Porter Tunnel entrance for
Portland Island. The ferry terminal was dismantled and the remains, plus the
dirt excavated, were used to fill in the nearby Harwood Dirt Track. This, of
course, leads to.....
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
American Road Safety for Everybody (ARSE) finally succeeded in getting
motorcycles banned from Liberty City much to the dismay of the motorcycle
makers who immediately took the group, and city, to court
However, as is typical of the American justice system, the legal matters are
taking their sweet time going through the motions. Although it appears that
the motorcyclists may very well win the case and get the popular vehicles
back in Liberty City, the shop Hogs & Cogs was forced to close after the
motion was passed.
The owners plan to re-open in a bigger and better location when the motion is
finally overturned.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
Liberty City is still recovering from the Fort Staunton Disaster that claimed
hundreds of lives. Many rumors still swirl about what caused the explosion
(everything from sewer rats to mob involvement) but the official cause has
been listed as "accidental ignition of natural gas".
That still doesn't satisfy many of the survivors. To make matters more
interesting, Pan-Lantic Construction almost immediately moved in to take down
the ruins and begin building office complexes where the neighborhood once
stood.
The survivors filed lawsuits to stop the construction but stood little chance
against Big Money which had the lawsuits quickly dismissed. Three years after
the disaster the survivors are still trying to cope.....
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
Liberty Memorial Coliseum opened with great fanfare in 1999. That's the good
news. The bad news is that the football team that it is meant for, the
Liberty City Cocks, suck. The team has always been so-so but they have been
on a downward turn as of late.
Even the coach has called them out in the press saying that the team is
"soft" and "unable to penetrate the endzone". The fans, who have been taken
to throwing bottles of erectile dysfunction pills onto the field lately,
aren't helping either.
As for the Coliseum's obscenely small parking lot, that's a whole other
issue.....

This is the main industrial area for Liberty City. The southeast part of the
island is where the main docks are located along with many businesses. The
western part of the island is home to many Chinese who have made this area
their own. The northern area of the island has a large concentration of adult
oriented businesses legal and illegal. On the eastern side is where a lot of
Italians make their residence including the local Mafia.

Toni Cipriani, a valued friend of the Salvatore Leone crime family, returns
from exile after killing a Made Man. After he arrives in Liberty City then he
begins an journey that will eventually bring Liberty City under Leone control
and bring peace to the local criminal underworld.
Temporarily, at least.....
0===================0
| Liberty City: 2001 \
0=====================================>
A ruthless small time criminal, and our "hero", Claude Speed, is involved in
a robbery with a couple of accomplices at the Liberty City Bank. As they make
their getaway, with Claude trailing, then a gunshot is heard.
The woman, Catalina, has killed one of the accomplices and now has her sights
on Claude. She shoots Claude, leaving him for dead but he survives.
Unfortunately, for Claude, he is put on trial and sent to prison for ten
years.
As Claude is being transferred to Liberty Penitentiary then the prison van is
ambushed while on the Callahan Bridge. It appears that one of the other
prisoners is being rescued by a group of Columbians.
However, Claude and another prisoner, 8-Ball, take advantage of the situation
and manage to free themselves. As they set themselves free, a bomb, that was
thrown onto the bridge by the Columbians, explodes. This leaves a huge gap in
the bridge and destroys most of the vehicles on it.
Now begins the first mission of the game, "Give Me Liberty", a simple driving
mission to a little Safehouse in the Red Light District of Portland Island.
This also serves as simple tutorial to the driving and map mechanics.
You can collect Hidden Packages (to gain Weapon Icons for your Safehouses)
and do Unique Stunt Jumps while driving around during "Give Me Liberty". But
you can't do Rampages or any vehicle based side-mission.
Just park the Kuruma (with 8-Ball inside) and jack another car to do other
stuff. When you are finished then go back to the parked Kuruma and go to the
Safehouse. When you arrive at the Safehouse then your new friend, 8-Ball,
tells you to go to a place owned by a guy named Luigi. You can't save your
game yet so go to Luigi's.
When you arrive at Luigi's then you start the mission titled "Luigi's Girls".
After a brief introduction then Luigi tells you to get one of his girls from
the clinic.
This is nothing more that a simple pick-up mission. Take the car, drive over
to the hospital, pick up Misty and drive her back to Luigi's club. You will
then earn $1,500 for mission completion. If you own the PS4 Version then you
should also get the {First Day on the Job} Trophy. After this then go back to
your Safehouse and save your game.

To start, I'm going to do as much of the off-story stuff as possible before
doing the second mission for Luigi, "Don't Spank Ma Bitch Up".
A lot of this stuff can be done in any order but doing some things in a
certain sequence will be of most benefit to you (like doing the Ambulance
Mission (for Infinite Run and Adrenaline)) and collecting Hidden Packages to
spawn Weapon Icons for your Safehouses.

can save your game and store one car in the garage. At the beginning there is
just the Baseball Bat Weapon Icon and over the course of the game you will
generate many more weapon and power-up icons here (and at your other
Safehouses at Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale).

Since "Grand Theft Auto III" does not have an in-game map then it is
important to explore each region to know it better and find the landmarks
that are used to help locate items, Rampages, and Unique Stunt Jumps.
To this end I have constructed tour guides for each region. Starting at your
current Safehouse I guide you through the region and point out all of the
landmarks.
Many of the names for these landmarks are pretty straightforward, some are
referenced from the official strategy guide, some are made up to give them a
name to help find other objects, and some are referenced from the prequel
game "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories".
With that said, let's go on.....

Now, that we're finally able to save the game, let's have a tour of this area
of Liberty City starting with the:
>>Portland Island Safehouse
*************************
Location: (Northwest) Red Light District, indicated by a house on your
radar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you can find your Weapon, Health, Adrenaline,
Police Bribe Icons, store a vehicle, and save your game.
Now let's go west to the street, jack a vehicle, and turn right at the nearby
three-way intersection then stop at the next three-way intersection. At the
northwest corner of this intersection you will see the wall for:
>>Doorless Apartments (West)
**************************
Location: (West) Hepburn Heights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: A couple of large apartment buildings situated behind a tall
wall that goes around them. They are called the Doorless
Apartments because there are no entrances on either building! I
wonder how people get in and out of this place.....
And at the east side of this intersection is:
>>Misty's Building
*****************
Location: (South) Hepburn Heights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is home to Misty, girlfriend to Joey Leone. Thankfully the
construction crew managed to put in an entrance for this place.
From here, turn left and stop at the next three-way intersection. At the east
side of this intersection is:
>>Doorless Apartments (East)
**************************
Location: (East) Hepburn Heights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Another pair of large apartment buildings with no doors (why? I
don't know).
Now continue forward and follow the road curve going east then stop at the
intersection after it. At the south side of this intersection is:
>>Borgnine Taxis
**************
Location: (South) Harwood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: One of two taxi companies that operate in Liberty City.
And just ahead of you to the east is:
>>HEAD Radio
**********
Location: (South) Harwood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: One of the most popular radio stations in Liberty City transmits
from here.
From here, turn left and follow the road curve going east then go under the
bridge. Then stop at the next three-way intersection. At the west side of
this intersection is the:
>>Harwood Fire Station
********************
Location: Harwood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: A Firetruck can often be found here and used for the Firetruck
Mission.
And at then southeast corner of this intersection is the:
>>AMCO Gas Station
****************
Location: Harwood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the only place on Portland Island to gas up your
vehicle.
From here, turn left then stop at the next intersection. At the north side of
this intersection is a dirt road that leads to the:
>>Harwood Junkyard
****************
Location: (North) Harwood.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where the junk and trash from Liberty City ends up. The
Car Crusher is also located here and can be used to get extra
money when disposing of most vehicles.
At the east side of this intersection is a dirt road that leads to:
>>8-Ball's Bomb Shop (St. Mark's)
*******************************
Location: (North) St. Mark's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you can fit your vehicle with a bomb and leave a
nasty surprise for someone.
And at the southeast corner of this intersection is:
>>Capital Autos
*************
Location: Harwood, just south of the Harwood Junkyard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The best deals in used cars can be found here.
From here, turn right and go through the next three-way intersection then
turn left at the next four-way intersection. Go up the hill and follow the
road curve going south then stop at the next four-way intersection. At the
east side of this intersection is a dirt road that leads to:
>>Salvatore's Mansion
*******************
Location: (East) Portland Beach.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This beautiful estate, overlooking Portland Rock, is where the
leader of the Leone crime family resides.
Now continue forward, through the next three-way intersection, and to the
road curve going west. When you get to this curve then look to your right to
find:
>>Marco's Bistro
**************
Location: (Southeast) St. Mark's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: One of the best Italian restaurants in Liberty City. "Eat 'til
you explode!"
Just after you finish the road curve then look to your left to find:
>>Portland View El-Train Station
******************************
Location: (North) Portland View, just southwest of Marco's Bistro.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: One of three train stations for the elevated track that goes
around Portland Island.
After that, continue forward to the next four-way intersection and turn
right. Go forward through the next three-way intersection and stop at the
next four-way intersection. At the northeast corner of this intersection is:
>>Cipriani's Ristorante
*********************
Location: (Central) St. Mark's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is currently where Toni Cipriani lives with his mother. You
can always find a Kuruma in the small parking lot here if you
need a car.
From here, continue forward through the next four-way intersection then turn
left at the next four-way intersection. Then stop at the next four-way
intersection. At the southeast corner of this intersection is:
>>The Ruins
*********</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
Location: St. Mark's.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: These ruins used to be a place owned by Toni Cipriani. It was
destroyed in an arson fire a couple of years ago. While no one
was ever caught, rumors persist concerning the building's
destruction.
Most rumors say that it was in retaliation for a gang attack but
one rumor going around was that Toni's mother had the place
firebombed so she could get her son to move back in with her!
It is currently undergoing rebuilding under new ownership
including replacing pipes under the nearby street.
Now turn right then turn left at the next four-way intersection and stop at
the next three-way intersection. At the west side of this intersection is
the:
>>Hepburn Heights El-Train Station
********************************
Location: (East) Hepburn Heights.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

| >PTL6. Weapons and Other Helpful Items |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional criminal. There are
twelve different weapons that can be found and used to create mayhem and
abuse.
The description of the weapons and items are listed in this chapter and their
locations revealed in each major area of Liberty City.
The information on each weapon is broken down as follows (if applicable):
++Appears after: This tells you what mission you have to complete before
this weapon can be bought from Ammu-Nation or other
locations.
++Cost: How much the weapon costs and where to purchase it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
++Notes: Information on the weapon.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
>>Fist
****
Good for hands-on fisticuffs when you need a little money (or just to
open a can of Whoop-Ass on some poor soul).
>>Baseball Bat
************
Great for batting practice (on somebody's head) or breaking kneecaps.
This weapon is available at all Safehouses at the beginning of the
game.
>>Pistol
******
Appears after: Pump-Action Pimp.
Cost: $250 - Red Light District Ammu-Nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: A decent handgun that can be bought from Ammu-Nation or acquired
from dead Cops. You can use this while running to make yourself
harder to hit while taking down someone at the same time.
>>Uz-I
****
Appears after: Cipriani's Chauffeur.
Cost:
++$800 - Red Light District Ammu-Nation.
++$800 - Newport Ammu-Nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: One of the better weapons here as it has a good rate of fire and
accuracy. Like with the Pistol, you can aim and run at the same
time while using this weapon.
>>Shotgun
*******
Appears after: Arms Shortage.
Cost: $1,500 - Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Just a standard pump action single barreled shotgun. Slow on the
fire rate but still effective. Perhaps too effective, especially
against cars. This is almost as powerful as a Rocket Launcher
when shooting up vehicles. However, you run slowly while holding
this weapon thus making you vulnerable to Cops, pissed-off gang
members, and pedestrians.
>>AK-47
*****
Appears after: Last Requests.
Cost: $3,000 - Newport Ammu-Nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This powerful machine gun will make mincemeat out of anybody in
your way. Like with the Shotgun, you also run slowly while
holding one.
>>M-16
****
Appears after: Arms Shortage.
Cost: $5,000 - Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This has a very fast rate of fire but your sight will jump all
around the screen. Good for quick work once you manage to
compensate for the unsteadiness of the gun-sight (you have to
hold Target to properly aim the weapon). This is another heavy
weapon that slows you down when you try to run with it.
>>Sniper Rifle
************
Appears after: Last Requests.
Cost: $10,000 - Newport Ammu-Nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This fires one shot at a time and reloads slowly but it is
effective. Use Target to manually aim the weapon and use the
Zoom In and Zoom Out controls to help find and track your
targets.
>>Rocket Launcher
***************
Appears after: Arms Shortage.
Cost: $25,000 - Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This very destructive weapon is the most powerful in the game.
Use Target to aim and Attack to shoot. Don't be too close to
your target though - you can hurt yourself badly in the process.
This heavy weapon will make you run very slowly while holding it
so care must be taken when wielding it.
>>Flamethrower
************
Appears after: A Drop In The Ocean.
Cost: $25,000 - In an un-numbered garage at the back of the Pike Creek
Police Station.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a very powerful weapon that can clear an area quickly of
enemies. This is also true of vehicles including the Rhino tank
since this is pretty much one of the few weapons that can
destroy it.
>>Molotovs
********
Appears after: A Drop In The Ocean.
Cost: $2,000 - In an un-numbered garage at the back of the Pike Creek
Police Station.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Can be used to flambe' your enemies and yourself if you're too
careless in where you throw one since you don't have as much
control over it like you do with the Flamethrower. This is also
a weapon that can be used to destroy the Rhino.
>>Grenades
********
Appears after: Last Requests.
Cost: $2,000 - Newport Ammu-Nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Toss one of these and watch the crowds scatter (in more ways
than one).....

But Weapon Icons aren't the only things you will find scattered around
Liberty City. You will also find these other icons that you can use to help
you out:
0===========================================================================0
| Health | This heart-shaped icon is used to restore your health to |
| | its maximum of 100. You can earn a Health Icon for your |
| | Safehouses by doing the Ambulance Mission. |
|--------------+------------------------------------------------------------|
| Body Armor | This armor-shaped icon will increase your armor rating to |
| | its maximum of 100. You can earn a Body Armor Icon for |
| | successfully acquiring fifty Hidden Packages. You can also |
| | buy Body Armor from the Newport Ammu-Nation for $3,000 |
| | after completion of the mission "Last Requests". |
|--------------+------------------------------------------------------------|
| Police Bribe | These star-shaped icons will drop your Wanted Rating by |
| | one star when picked up. It is best to know where all the |
| | bribe icons are located before doing any missions so you |
| | can quickly deal with any law enforcement pursuit. You can |
| | earn up to six additional Police Bribes for your |
| | Safehouses by doing the Vigilante Mission. |
|--------------+------------------------------------------------------------|
| Adrenaline | This pill-shaped icon will slow things down and give you |
| | super strength. Good for tight situations when you need a |
| | little extra help. You can earn an Adrenaline Icon for |
| | your Safehouses by doing the Ambulance Mission. |

| >PTL10. Trophy Hunting (PlayStation 4 Version) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
There are several Trophies that you can acquire before doing any other
activities. To do these now you should use either the Banshee or Ambulance
glitches to get to Staunton Island.
>>{Street Sweeper}
{Population Control}
{If You Ain't Cheatin', You Ain't Tryin'} Trophies
**************************************************
{Street Sweeper} is for killing 100 gang members, {Population Control}
is for killing 1,000 people, and {If You Ain't Cheatin', You Ain't
Tryin'} is for destroying 2,000 cars. While doing the third Trophy you
can get the other two at the same time.
Although you can destroy 2,000 cars without using any cheats it is
recommended that you do because the title of the Trophy hints at that.
And, since we're cheating just to get to Staunton Island, we're going
to use some cheat codes to help us get these Trophies. Once you get to
the Staunton Island Safehouse then use the Rhino Cheat to spawn a tank:
Circle (x6), R1, L2, L1, Triangle, Circle, Triangle
Although others have recommended the Exploding Cars Cheat I recommend
using the Rhino since you can get two additional Trophies while
destroying cars.
After spawning the tank, putting it in the garage, and saving your game
in another slot for Trophy hunting purposes then drive the Rhino into
Fort Staunton while blasting cars, gang members, and civilians. Proceed
to the Staunton Loop and go clockwise around the island while blasting
everything (as well as running over everything) in sight as you head
back towards the Safehouse.
Of course, the Cops will get involved and they will run into you as
they try to stop you which will only add to your destructive total.
When you reach the Safehouse then use the Health Code on the tank (as a
precaution), put the Rhino in your garage, and save your progress.
Repeat this pattern until you have all three Trophies.
>>{Right-Hand Man} and {Like a Boss} Trophies
*******************************************
{Right-Hand Man} is for earning a Criminal Rating (CR) of 2,500 and
{Like a Boss} is for earning a CR of 5,000 or more. You can easily get
the {Right-Hand Man} Trophy while going for {If You Ain't Cheatin', You
Ain't Tryin'} Trophy.
However, you won't earn the {Like a Boss} Trophy this way. As long as
the remaining areas of Liberty City are officially locked you will cap
your CR at about 3,351 regardless of destruction. Some people have
suggested using the Money Cheat, which adds 50 points to your CR each
time it is used, to get to 5,000 but it may lock up your rating well
below that and prevent you from acquiring this Trophy.
I recommend waiting until you have unlocked Shoreside Vale and done all
activities before doing the remaining Main Story missions (as well as
save your game) before doing the Money Cheat. At this point in the game
you may have around 4,600 CR and you can use the Money Cheat to get the
remaining points towards the Trophy. After acquiring the Trophy then
reload your saved game and continue.
The Money Cheat:
===============
R2, R2, L1, L1, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up
>>{Dirty Money} Trophy
********************
This one is for amassing $1,000,000. This one is very easy as you get
that amount just by finding all 100 Packages, doing all Jumps, or doing
all Rampages.
>>{Repeat Offender} Trophy
************************
This Trophy is for getting Busted 20 times. This one is pretty easy and
you should be back on Portland Island before doing this. Go up to a
Police Car in the street and try to open the driver side door. This
will get you a 1-Star Rating and the Cop will then exit the vehicle.
When he does he will then automatically knock you on the ground for an
easy bust.
If there is no Cop car around but there are Police on the sidewalks
then simply jack a car and stay inside so they can bust you. Since
there are plenty of Cops around it should take you little time to get
this Trophy.

| >PTL11. Industrial Import Export Garage |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
At the north end of the Portland Docks area there is a building that appears
to have a list on one wall right by a garage door. This is the Industrial
Import Export Garage.
There are sixteen vehicles listed that you need to collect. For each vehicle
you obtain you will get $1,000. If you get all sixteen vehicles listed then
you will get a $200,000 bonus plus you can have unlimited use of the cars you
have collected. This task is also required for 100% Completion.
Just walk into the garage and pick one of the vehicle icons. You will then be
instructed to exit the garage and, in a few seconds, your new car will be
made available to you.
If you have the PS4 Version then you can also acquire the {Play Fetch} Trophy
for completing this list as well as the other car list in Shoreside Vale.
Below is the vehicle list and where to find them. These are some of the more
reliable locations and missions to find the vehicles. "Generated at random"
means that you have to wait for them to spawn on their own before you can
acquire them:

Some of the generated vehicles can be found when doing the Vigilante and
Firetruck missions. Simply end the mission when the needed vehicle shows
itself (after killing the criminal or putting out the fire) and drive it to
the garage.
You don't have to complete the list before doing any of the Main Story
Missions. As you can see, it is sometimes easier to wait for certain sections
to open or do certain missions to get the cars you want. This applies to all
of the car lists in the game.

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
At the north end of the Portland Docks area and east of the Industrial
Import Export Garage is the Emergency Vehicle Crane. This works just like the
nearby garage except it involves Police, rescue and army vehicles.
There are seven vehicles to collect with a $1,500 bonus for each one. And, if
you get them all, then you will be rewarded with a $200,000 bonus plus
unlimited use of the vehicles. Choose the vehicle icon of the one you want
and wait as the crane delivers the car to you. This task is required for 100%
Completion.
If you have the PS4 Version then you can also acquire the {Pest Control}
Trophy for completing the Crane.
Where to drop the vehicles off isn't obvious at first. To the east of the
Industrial Import Export Garage you'll notice a bunch of multi-colored
container crates with a Yankee parked against it.
Just before the crates then you'll notice some dark yellow diagonal stripes
on the ground with what appears to be a magnet overhead. This is the area for
the Emergency Vehicles to be dropped off. If you try to drop any other
vehicle there then you'll get the "We're not interested in the model"
message.
You don't have to get all of the vehicles before doing the Main Story
Missions. Besides, you can't get the FBI Car until you unlock Staunton Island
(so you can get a 5-Star Wanted Rating) or the Rhino until you unlock
Shoreside Vale (so you can get a 6-Star Wanted Rating - unless you want to
use the Rhino spawn cheat....).

| >PTL13. Ambulance Mission |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Now it is time to do the Ambulance Mission. By doing this I am generating
Health and Adrenaline Icons for my Safehouses and earn the Infinite Run
Feature which will be real handy.
When you go near either Sweeney General Hospital (Portland View), Carson
General Hospital (Rockford), or Hope Medical College (Pike Creek) then you
should find an Ambulance.
Climb into the Ambulance and press Activate Vehicle Mission to begin the
mission. When you start then you have to drive around the city to pick up
patients and take them to a nearby hospital.
There are twelve levels in the Ambulance Mission. You start with one patient
at Level 1 and a additional patient will be added in each level as you
progress. The Ambulance can only carry three patients at a time so you will
have to think in groups of three when doing the later levels.
Let's face it, this mission is a pain in the ass. An unstable vehicle, no
in-game map, low durability, and the arbitrary time amounts you earn for
dropping off patients make this a lot harder than it needs to be. By doing
this now then I don't have to worry about this anymore and focus on the other
tasks at hand.
Even though Staunton Island is flatter terrain the best place to do the
Ambulance Mission is at Portland Island. On both Staunton Island and
Shoreside Vale you have to deal with the hostile Columbians who will try to
yank you from your Ambulance and, if they do that, then you will fail the
mission.
At this early part of the game you don't have to worry about any hostilities
on Portland Island (yet).
The best thing to do beforehand is to practice driving the ambulance around
before doing the mission, especially around the hills of St. Mark's. Learn
how to stop the thing properly so you can lessen the risk of killing
patients.
Learn the Health Code as you will probably end up using this during the
mission. Go back near Sweeney General Hospital and start the mission when
you're ready.
In the later levels see how the green dots (the patients) are grouped along
the edge of your compass and try to plan a good route to get to your
patients. Try to go for the furthest patient first and work back to the
hospital.
If you don't think you will have enough time to get the furthest one first
then get the first one you see on the way then make your way to the furthest
patient. When approaching a patient then make sure that the patient is on the
right of your Ambulance and don't get too close as the patient is running
toward your vehicle as you approach.
When the patient just starts to get in the Ambulance then go. This will save
a second or two. Use your Siren as this causes the cars to either stop or
turn away from you thus making it easier to evade them. Use the Health Code,
if necessary, when your Ambulance is smoking while you are dropping off
patients at the hospital.
When you complete Level 12 then you will successfully complete the Ambulance
Mission and gain the Infinite Run feature (never tire when running) plus
earn the Health and Adrenaline Icons for your Safehouses. In addition, if you
have the PS4 Version, then you should also acquire the {Playing Doctor}
Trophy.
In my previous versions of the guide I had said the following:
"If you own the Original PS2 version, you have to successfully rescue a
minimum of 50 patients (at the completion of a level) to get the Health
Icon and a minimum of 100 patients (total) (at the completion of a level)
to get the Adrenaline Icon for all of your hideouts during the Ambulance
Mission.
"If you own the PS2 Double Pack, Xbox Double Pack, or PC versions, you have
to successfully rescue a minimum of 30 patients (at the completion of a
level) to get the Health Icon and a minimum of 75 patients (total) (at the
completion of a level) to get the Adrenaline Icon for all of your hideouts
during the Ambulance Mission."
But one my readers, Dan Schauer, indicated to me that there were no changes
at all to the Ambulance Mission rewards:
"I have the original version (I think, unless Rockstar did multiple
versions Pre-Greatest Hits, like they did with Vice City). I can say for a
fact that it is NOT a Greatest Hits or Double Pack version. And I've never
had the problem mentioned, that you need 50/100 patients for the
Health/Adrenaline.
My understanding on how it works is this.
You need 35/70 patients for the Health/Adrenaline pickups to appear at
your hideout (read from Minesweeper's walkthrough on Gamefaqs.com, the
numbers could be a little off). But, either because of a bug, or
intentionally, it will not page you until you've completed an ambulance
level, or lost the level with the required number of patients saved.
(assuming all in one run, with no patients saved prior to this point)
Ambulance Level 7 completes at 28 patients, and level 8 completes at 36,
but you do not get notified of the Health until after level 8, or if you
lose level 8 with the required number of patients saved.
Similarly, Ambulance levels 11 and 12 finish at 66 and 78 patients
respectively. The game does not page you about the Adrenaline until the
completion of level 12 (when it also pages you about infinite run), or if
you lose level 12 with the required number of patients.
"In the DP version, if you're good enough, you can get everything in one
run because you can rescue 78 patients in the 12 levels of the Ambulance
Mission." (from your FAQ)
In the version I have (which is the original as far as I know), I'm able
to do this too.
Just pointing this out. I don't know who's had problems with the 50/100,
but I never have."
I did the Ambulance Mission in one run in the Original Version and Dan was
right about the info he presented. So the Ambulance Mission is the same for
all PS2 versions (Original, Double Pack, Greatest Hits), PC version, and the
Xbox version.
I also had a gentleman named Haenlomal inform me of a bug that messes up how
the patients are counted during the mission:
"How the Paramedic Mission bug REALLY works in GTA 3
"The count of the number of people rescued in Paramedic missions is bugged.
Essentially, the number of people that the Stats screen says that you've
rescued is not necessarily the same number the game thinks that you've
rescued! For simplicity's sake, let's refer to the number shown on the
Stats screen as the "external number", and the number that the game thinks
you've rescued as the "internal number". When it is written that (for
example) you need to have rescued 35 people to get the health pickup, this
is refering to the internal number! I've noticed that this is a major
source of confusion for a lot of players, so I hope this clears up the
issue once and for all.
Here's how the bug works: whenever you drop off patients at the hospital,
the external number is updated. However, the internal number is updated
*ONLY* at the (successful) conclusion of each Paramedic level. (In other
words...oops! Someone at Rockstar was asleep behind the wheel on this
one...)
An example should help make this clear: Suppose you start doing Paramedics
mission in a game where you've never done them before. And suppose that
you've completed Paramedic levels 1 to 3 without any problems. At that
point, the external number should read 6 (1+2+3=6), and since the internal
number is updated at the end of every Paramedic level, it is also 6. So
far so good!
Now, on Paramedic level 4, suppose that you successfully dropped off the
first 3 patients at the hospital, and are on your way to the last patient.
At this point, the external number would read 9 (6+3=9), but because the
internal number would not be updated until the level is successfully done,
it is still sitting at 6!
Alas, tragedy strikes, and you accidentally kill your last patient. So,
you've successfully dropped off a grand total of 9 patients at the
hospital, and the external number in the Stats screen reflects that.
However, since you failed to complete Paramedic level 4, the internal
number sits at 6! And the game engine itself displays that. At the
conclusion of the mission, the following message flashes on the screen:
"Paramedic mission ended. People saved: 6"
And there is the bug in all its ugly glory! The only solution to all this
is to keep track of the internal number yourself until you get the 35
needed for the health pickup, or the 70 needed for the adrenaline
pill...yeah, yeah, I know, it sucks. :P
Incidentally, note that because the internal number only gets updated at
the end of each Paramedic level, the only time you can actually receive an
award is at the end of a Paramedic level. Sometimes, this means that your
internal number would have exceeded the requirements. Don't worry, you
still get your reward. :)
So, the final conclusion? Yes, 35 rescued is the requirement for the
health pickup, and yes, 70 rescued is the requirement for the adrenaline
pill. However, these figures apply only to the *internal* number. The
external number (the one that is actually shown on the Stats screen) could
be anything greater, depending on how much you have messed up in the
paramedic mission attempts!"
And I had another reader, Mr. Spock, give me this information:
"FYI Ð Just to clarify the rewards a little on the ambulance mission in GTA
III; the health icon becomes available after 35 saved people and the
adrenalin icon after 70. That's cumulative and it doesn't matter whether
or not it took 70 tries all at mission level 1, i.e. like in the pause
menu under stats it would say "people saved 70" and "highest ambulance
mission 1". But it takes completing mission level 12 to get the infinite
run. So, completing level 12 gets you all three."
With the Infinite Run feature obtained I will go to the next chapter.....

| >PTL14. Rampages Explained |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
As you go around the city then you may notice some skull icons spinning
about. These are the Rampage Icons.
When one is activated then you will be instructed to kill gang members or
destroy vehicles within two minutes and with a given weapon with unlimited
ammo (that you can't switch out of during the duration of the Rampage). You
can also pick up money and weapons dropped by your victims during a Rampage.
Each Rampage in "Grand Theft Auto III" has two locations, a primary and a
secondary location. If you fail the Rampage at its primary location then the
Rampage Icon will move to a secondary location. If you fail the Rampage at
its secondary location then the Rampage Icon will move back to its primary
location.
There are a total of twenty Rampages in "Grand Theft Auto III". The numbers
go from north to south, west to east. The primary location is designated as
"A" and the secondary location is designated "B". Your reward for finishing
Rampages will increase by $5,000 for each one completed and you will get a
$1,000,000 bonus for successfully completing all twenty Rampages.
In addition, if you have the PS4 Version, then you should also get the {Blood
in the Streets} Trophy when you successfully finish the last one.
One of the annoying things about the Rampages in "Grand Theft Auto III" is
that, even if you are in the right position and doing the right things, then
the game may decide to not generate enough targets to complete the Rampage.
With that explained, let's go do them.....

Directions: From the four-way intersection at the southwest
corner of Cipriani's Ristorante, head north along
the sidewalk then turn right at the corner. Go
forward along the sidewalk and up the hill.
As you proceed up the hill then you will see a
ledge to your right that has a Health Icon.
Continue up the hill until you reach a driveway
that cuts across the block.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
Turn right onto the driveway and you should see
some small car garages to your left. The Rampage
can be found between these garages.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Drive up to the Rampage, activate it, then go up to the
driveway entrance of Salvatore's Mansion. The Mafia are
very hostile so they will gang up on you when attacked.
The wall will help shield you from them while you take
down those near the entrance.
Go around the wall a little bit and take down those
stuck on the other side of the wall then go back behind
the wall and get the ones that generate near the
entrance. Repeat until complete.

Notes: Go down the street and pick off the Diablos as they
appear. Like the Mafia, they will generally gang up on
you when attacked.
Unlike the Mafia, however, they will either be un-armed
or have a Baseball Bat as they attack. Their fists and
bats won't do a lot of damage plus they make easy
targets when they rush you. A fairly easy Rampage.

tracks. and drive to it. Activate it and drop a Grenade
by your car then drop down to street level. By blowing
up your car then you take care of one vehicle leaving
nine to blow up.
Run up to nearby cars and drop a Grenade near the front
then run away so you don't get caught up in the blast.
Run towards Portland Harbor while cutting through the

You can't run very fast because of the Shotgun and the
Triads will gang up on you when attacked and they wield

All around Liberty City you will find objects that can be used as ramps for
vehicle jumping. Usually, on most jumps, you will just get some additional
money and not much more.
But, on some jumps, you will get a slow motion cutscene as you fly through
the air. These jumps are known as the Unique Stunt Jumps and, if you complete
them correctly, then this will add toward 100% Completion. The best vehicle
to use, for all of the jumps, is clearly the Cheetah unless noted. There are
a total of twenty Unique Stunt Jumps in the game.
If you own the PS4 Version you may also earn the {Wreckless Driving} Trophy
while doing these Jumps.
Your reward for finishing Unique Stunt Jumps will increase by $5,000 for each
one completed and you will get a $1,000,000 bonus for successfully completing
all twenty Jumps. If you own the PS4 Version then you should also get the

| >PTL18. Vigilante Mission (Portland Island) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Before you do this mission it is recommended that you acquire a lot of Uz-I
ammo for doing drive-bys and know where all of the Police Bribes are so you
can control your Wanted Ratings.
At the Portland View Police Station there is a Police Car parked at the
front. If you enter the Police car and press the Activate Vehicle Mission
button then you will begin the Vigilante Mission.
You start out at a random amount of time (based on distance) and will be
prompted to chase and destroy a selected target which is another car. You
have to kill the criminal in the car before moving onto the next level. Plus,
you will be given extra time when you complete a level.
Sometimes, if you damage the criminal's car enough, then the criminal may
exit the car to confront you. Drive-by or run him over to get rid of him. In
addition, some of the cars you may need for the car lists may be generated
for the criminals. Abandon the mission to claim the cars as needed.
The first twenty kills on Portland Island will get you two Police Bribes for
your Safehouses. The first twenty kills on Staunton Island will get you two
more Bribes for your Safehouses. And the first twenty kills on Shoreside Vale
will get you the last two Bribes for all of your Safehouses. Each Police
Bribe acquired will get you one step closer to 100% Completion.
If you own the PS4 Version then you should also get the {Going Rogue} Trophy
for killing twenty criminals. However, it must be done in one run regardless
of how many you have killed previously.
Here's how the mission works:
While on Portland Island, grab a Police Car then start the Vigilante Mission.
You need to kill a minimum of twenty criminals while on Portland Island to
make it count toward 100% Completion.
You could kill 200 criminals here on Portland Island if you want but it will
not earn you any additional percentage or Police Bribes. *ONLY* the first
twenty kills count toward it. After you get ten kills then you will get a
Police Bribe for your Safehouses and at twenty you will earn another one (two
Police Bribes).
When you get to Staunton Island then grab a Police Car and do the Vigilante
Mission there. Again, *ONLY* the first twenty criminals you kill there
will count toward 100% Completion (regardless of how many you kill).
After you get ten kills then you will get another Police Bribe for your
Safehouses and at twenty you will earn another one (this will get you to four
Police Bribes).
When you get to Shoreside Vale then grab a Police Car and do the Vigilante
Mission there. Once again, *ONLY* the first twenty criminals you kill
there will count toward 100% Completion (regardless of how many you kill).
If you follow that then you will earn the all six Police Bribes for your
Safehouses and the percentage needed for 100% Completion.
There is a little trick that will make the Vigilante Mission a lot
easier. When you get close enough to the criminal then press Pause, wait a
few seconds, and then un-pause. The criminal will then stop and get out of
his car in which case you can either drive-by or run him over. This works in
the Xbox version too.

| >PTL19. Firetruck Mission (Portland Island) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
This next mission involves the Firetruck which can be obtained at the Harwood
Fire Station. When you enter the Firetruck then you can activate the
Firetruck Mission by pressing Activate Vehicle Mission.
Your goal is to put out vehicle fires. You are instructed to go to a area and
put out a car fire. The more fires that you put out in a given run, the more
money you make.
You are given about 22 seconds of time when you put out a fire and the game
likes to make you go from one end of Portland Island to the other so you end
up eating away a lot of that time.
There is also a bonus for putting out fires. When you put out the first
twenty fires in each section of the city (the first twenty for Portland
Island, the first twenty for Staunton Island, and the first twenty for
Shoreside Vale - 60 total), then you will gain the Flamethrower Weapon Icon
for all of your Safehouses and inch closer to 100% Completion.
If you own the PS4 Version then you should also get the {Splish Splash}
Trophy for putting out twenty fires. However, it must be done in one run
regardless of how many fires you have put out previously.
Here's how the mission works:
While on Portland Island, grab a Firetruck then start the Firetruck
Mission. You need to put out a minimum of twenty fires while on Portland
Island to make it count toward 100% Completion. You could put out 200 fires
here on Portland Island if you want but it will not earn you additional
percentage or the Weapon Icon.
*ONLY* the first twenty fires you put out here count toward it.
When you get to Staunton Island then grab a Firetruck and do the Firetruck
Mission there. Again, *ONLY* the first twenty fires put out there will
count toward 100% Completion (regardless of how many you put out).
When you get to Shoreside Vale then grab a Firetruck and do the Firetruck
Mission there. Once again, *ONLY* the first twenty fires put out there
will count toward 100% Completion (regardless of how many you put out).
If you follow that then you will earn the Flamethrower Icon for your
Safehouses and the percentage needed for 100% Completion.
And like with the Vigilante Mission some of the cars you may need for the car
lists may be generated for the car fires. Abandon the mission to claim the
cars as needed.

| >PTL20. Patriot Playground |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
When you go to the SupaSave! Store in Portland View then you will see a
Patriot sitting in the parking lot. Entering it will trigger the vehicle
checkpoint side-mission "Patriot Playground". This is the first of four
vehicle checkpoint side-missions found in Liberty City.
In this side-mission you have five minutes to collect fifteen Checkpoints and
you are given twenty seconds for each one collected. The timer starts when
you get the first Checkpoint.
Go behind the SupaSave! Store and up the stairs. After going partway up then
veer right and get the first Checkpoint under the elevated tracks [#1]. Then
go down to the beach.
As you head toward the beach then you will see the Checkpoint there but you
may also see the top of a Checkpoint on the rocky part just ahead of you. If
you angle the Patriot just right then you can get Checkpoint [#2] and the
Checkpoint on the beach when you land [#3] (if you miss Checkpoint [#2] then
climb up the embankment to acquire it after getting Checkpoint [#3]).
Climb up the rocky hillside to get behind the apartment complexes and in the
process get Checkpoint [#4] which is on the edge. When you get behind the
complexes then go forward until the next checkpoint is directly right of you
then turn right and head back to the beach and in the process you will
acquire Checkpoint [#5].
Checkpoint [#6] is off to your left and right on the water's edge. This one
is tricky because of the fact that this particular part of the beach where
the Checkpoint is at is steep. Get right up to it, tap Accelerate to go down,
tap Reverse to slow yourself, and when you get Checkpoint [#6], then hold
Reverse to go back up.
Go up the rocky embankment to get Checkpoint [#7] then back down to the
beach. Go under the archway and along the left side of the embankment to get
Checkpoint [#8]. Then go onto the grass and back down to the beach. Then turn
left and go up the embankment to get Checkpoint [#9]. As you acquire
Checkpoint [#9] then turn right and head for the grass.
Once on the grass then turn right and get Checkpoint [#10]. After getting
Checkpoint [#10] then turn around and head west. As you approach the rocky
embankment then you should see Checkpoint [#11].
Climb up to get Checkpoint [#11], turn left when you reach the top, and climb
up to get Checkpoint [#12] then turn right when you reach the top to
get Checkpoint [#13]. Then turn left and go behind Salvatore's Mansion.
As you head behind the Mansion then you may see a Checkpoint off to your left
but that will be the last one collected. Checkpoint [#14] is on top of the
arch near the very end. Carefully go down and get it then back up the arch
and onto the grass then turn around.
Checkpoint [#15] is on a ledge. Get to a point just south of it and switch to
your top-down view. Line yourself up with the Checkpoint then gently drive
off and fall on top of it. When you do that then you should collect the
Checkpoint and successfully complete the mission. You should also get $20,000
and a step closer to 100% Completion.
You can also take the Patriot to the Industrial Import Export Garage for the
car list there after completion of the mission (assuming you don't flip it
over while collecting the last Checkpoint).

| >PTL21. Mafia Massacre / Diablo Destruction |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
In an alley west of Cipriani's Ristorante in St. Mark's and next to the
building on the northeast side of Doorless Apartments (East) in Hepburn
Heights you may have noticed a blue van that had a logo on the side: Toyz in
the Hood.
When you enter the van then you will trigger a Toyz Van Mission, either
"Mafia Massacre" (St. Mark's) or "Diablo Destruction" (Hepburn Heights).
What you do is take remote controlled cars and try to blow up as many gang
vehicles as you can in two minutes. For these side-missions you blow up the
black Mafia Sentinels ("Mafia Massacre") and the Diablo Stallions ("Diablo
Destruction").
There are a total of four Toyz Vans in the game and each one will require you
to destroy different gang cars. There is one Toyz Van on Staunton Island and
the last one is on Shoreside Vale.
When you finish these side-missions then you will be rewarded $1,000 times
the number of cars you managed to destroy. If you destroyed three cars then
you will get $3,000, if you destroyed eight cars then you will get $8,000 and
so on.
At this point I have done all I can do on Portland Island before starting the
Main Story Missions. But there is something else that can be done.....

Part of the fun of the GTA games is to try to get around the roadblocks and
invisible forcefields to get to areas you aren't supposed to go until the
designers want you to, preferably without cheating. These roadblocks and
forcefields were designed to keep you from getting more powerful weapons
early or to finish certain tasks before you were allowed to.
But, of course, there are ways to get around these obstacles.....

| A. Glitches in the Map |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
There are two methods to getting across early and with low risk:
0===================0
| The Banshee Method \
0===============================================>
On the GameFAQs GTA3 Message Board there is a sticky topic called "Purple
Nines Glitch, Darkel, Donald Love Dissaperance and more questions" started by
Huggable Joker Inc. Inside the topic was a very good way to get to Staunton
Island early and without cheat codes:
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
"Getting to Shoreside Vale early without cheating.
(Q) I want to go to Staunton and Shoreside to get the packages/rampages/etc
but Idont want to cheat. Is this possible?
(A) Yes. Go to Easy Credit Auto's in Portland and jack the Banshee there.
When you leave, note the grass over behind the Car Crusher. Past this
grass is a long white road. Follow it untill your actually on top of the
Tunnel Entrance. BACK THE BANSHEE towards the water, the car should be
sitting on the very middle line in this area, it's not hard to see
really. When the rear wheels fall off the edge, the car will start to
fall, quickly hit Triangle before the car does so, and TADA! Your
actually ontop of the Porter Tunnel and can freely acess Staunton Island
without cheating. Once you get to Staunton, jack a car and drive to SSV
using the Tunnel, it wont be blocked off untill Staunton is unlocked by
beating all of Portlands missions."
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
According to reader Sterling P. de Mille, he found that you can use a vehicle
other than the Banshee if it is about the same size. I verified this using a
Taxi in the PS2 version.
0=====================0
| The Ambulance Method \
0===============================================>
A second option of getting into the tunnel, according to Nukey_Shay, is to
use an Ambulance to get onto the top of the tunnel. This method is a little
more unusual but safer since you don't risk falling into the water and
killing yourself.
Take the Ambulance and drive it to the tunnel entrance. What you need to do
is back up the vehicle completely onto the sidewalk on either side of the
tunnel entrance and up against the blue wall that blocks the tunnel.
Next, climb up onto the hood of the vehicle then run and jump until you are
on top of the Ambulance and poking through the tunnel roof. Then use the game
camera and turn 90 degrees towards the center of the tunnel. Then keep
jumping until you jump, or "land", onto the top of the tunnel. I found both
methods to be pretty easy to execute.
While on top of the tunnel then you will be in what is known as Blue Hell.
From your starting point, jump over the top of the barrier (that keeps you
from entering the tunnel beneath you) and you can go to either Staunton
Island or Shoreside Vale.
If you decide to go to Staunton Island then you will have to contend with
invisible barriers that will angle you off into Blue Hell (if you run along
the tunnel edges) but you can avoid them by running in the middle of the
tunnel top. If you are heading to Shoreside Vale then you can run along the
edges of the tunnel top.
When you get to the end of the tunnel at either Staunton Island or Shoreside
Vale then jump into Blue Hell and you will land on the ground above with a
loss of 5 Armor.
The first method works on the PS2, Xbox, and PC versions (PC version
confirmed by M L and Bryan Ste. Marie). The second method I have confirmed on
the PS2 and Xbox versions.
When you are back on land (either Staunton Island or Shoreside Vale) then go
to one of your Safehouses and save your game. Unlike "Grand Theft Auto:
Liberty City Stories", the Safehouses in GTA3 are active and you can save
your game while on the other side.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
One of the Hidden Packages on Portland Island is at the Chinatown Subway
Entrance but you can't go into it because of the gate.
Now that I am outside of Portland Island I can go and get the Package. There
are no barriers to prevent you from entering the subway at either Staunton
Island or Shoreside Vale since you are not really supposed to be here yet (as
a result you can't enter the subway train itself).
Get a small car, like a Stinger, and find the subway entrances. The entrances
are: Liberty Campus Subway Entrance, Bedford Point Subway Entrance, and
Francis International Airport Subway Entrance.
Drive down, make your way down the stairs and to the subway platform. Go onto
the tracks heading east and stay on the left side of the tracks. After awhile
then you will end up in Chinatown and you will see the Chinatown subway
platform. Drive off of it and go up the stairs. When you reach the top then
you should find the following Package:
[CHT-H19] - Near the Chinatown Subway Entrance bathrooms.
Now go back down and to the platform then re-enter the tracks going north.
Keep going until you reach Shoreside Vale and the Francis International
Airport subway platform. Get off on the right side and, as you near the
stairs leading up, then you should find the following Package:
[FIA-H97] - Near the bottom of the stairs near the subway platform for the
Francis International Airport Subway Entrance.
If you are already on Shoreside Vale and enter through the Airport subway
entrance then you can acquire Package [FIA-H97] first before getting Package
[CHT-H19].

| C. What You Can Do |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Once on the other side then you can do just about everything. Below is the
list of activities you can do in the other two areas:
0================0
| Staunton Island \
0=====================================>
>>Collect 34 to 35 Hidden Packages.
>>Do seven Rampages.
>>Do four Unique Stunt Jumps.
>>Do the "Casino Calamity" Toyz Van Mission.
>>Do the "A Ride In The Park" vehicle checkpoint side-mission.
>>Do the "Multistorey Mayhem" vehicle checkpoint side-mission.
>>Do the Firetruck Mission (first twenty fires extinguished).
>>Do the Vigilante Mission (first twenty criminals killed).
0===============0
| Shoreside Vale \
0=====================================>
>>Collect thirty two Hidden Packages.
>>Do seven Rampages.
>>Do eight Unique Stunt Jumps.
>>Do the "Rumpo Rampage" Toyz Van Mission.
>>Do the "Gripped!" vehicle checkpoint side-mission.
>>Collect all but one of the cars for the Suburban Import Export Garage.
>>Do the Firetruck Mission (first twenty fires extinguished).
>>Do the Vigilante Mission (first twenty criminals killed).
Plus there is the one Hidden Package, [PRD-H33], on the rocks south of
Portland Island. And, of course, if you want, do the Taxi and Ambulance
Missions while on the other side.
With this glitch you can get up to 51% Completion, do all Jumps, do all
Rampages, get 99 to 100 Hidden Packages, and do all of the side-missions.
And, of course, unlock most, if not all, of the Weapon Icons for your
Safehouses. Plus earn a lot of money.
When it is time to start heading back to Portland Island you still have to
cross the Callahan Bridge but in the opposite direction. This leads me
to.....
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
| D. Hidden Package [SHL-H75] and The Dodo |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
The best, and cheatless, way to go back to Portland Island is by using the
Dodo which is found at Francis International Airport at the west end of the
Main Runway. You still need the Dodo for the Industrial Import Export Garage
so you can kill two birds with one stone here.
The Dodo is unusual in that it is not a car but an airplane. However, it is a
clipped winged craft meaning that it does not have most of its wings. It can
be flown but it is a difficult thing to do. But there are FAQs that will help
you be able to fly the Dodo for long periods of time.
Then there is also the matter of getting Hidden Package [SHL-H75] which is on
the raised part of the broken drawbridge. Normally, you would have to wait
until completion of "A Drop In The Ocean" so that the drawbridge would be
fixed. Then get on the drawbridge, onto the median and wait for it to rise so
you can acquire Package [SHL-H75].
But is it possible to get the Package while the drawbridge is broken? Yes.
It's a little tricky but it is possible.
It requires the use of the Dodo to reach it. Those that are experts in flying
the Dodo can probably get it with little problem. But there is a way for
those who can't fly the Dodo:
>>Step One
********
Get the Dodo, go to the three-way intersection with the road that leads
to the Shoreside Lift Bridge, stop and turn right.
>>Step Two
********
Rev up the Dodo (while holding down the brake). Then let go of the
brake and go up the bridge. After you finish the bridge curve then push
the Left Analog Stick down.
As you near the bridge break then the nose of the plane should be
scraping the ground. When you get roughly two to three car lengths from
the drawbridge then yank the Left Analog Stick down.
If you have enough speed then the plane will go almost straight up and
high enough to reach the drawbridge. You won't fly very far but then
you won't need to. Just enough to land on the drawbridge. Once on the
drawbridge then go near the Package, park very close, and parallel, to
the median.
>>Step Three
**********
You can't jump onto the median from the road because it is too high and
you can't climb to the top of the Dodo either. But you can still use
the Dodo to get on the median. Go between the Dodo and the median.
Then jump onto the Dodo near the back wheels right by the rear windows.
You should be partway up the Dodo if you jumped onto it right. You
can't jump onto the rear of the plane but you don't have to. While on
the Dodo then use the Look Around (Right Analog Stick) to aim at the
median.
Then jump from your position to the top of the median. Then go get the
Package.
If you can't do this trick, don't worry, you can get the Package later. For
missions where I use the Rocket Launcher (in the early parts of the game), I
also have strategies for using different weapons.
As for the Dodo, just drive it into the tunnel to go to Staunton Island
(because of its size then you will be switched into first person mode while
you are driving it in the tunnel). If you managed to get the Package then get
back into the Dodo and drop it onto the Staunton Island side of the bridge.
Then make your way through Staunton Island and go to the Callahan Bridge. Go
up the bridge without slowing down and you should start to glide as the
bridge droops down. Gently pull back and you should land on your wheels on
the other side.
Then simply go around the roadblocks, deposit the Dodo in the Industrial
Import Export Garage, and save your game at your Safehouse.

| E. Returning to Portland Island by Boat |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Now, if you have trouble trying to get the Dodo up the bridge to get at the
Package and head back to Portland Island, then it's okay to skip that and
save it for later.
To return to Portland Island without the use of the Dodo there is a Predator
Police boat on the south side of the Main Runway and a Speeder near the end
of the South Runway at Francis International Airport. These boats will allow
you to get back to Staunton Island.
Once back on Staunton Island then head to The Condos and grab any boat from
the two piers there to return to Portland Island.

Luigi runs the Sex Club 7 in Red Light District. He works for the Mafia and
uses his club as a front for his prostitution operation. You have already met
him and done one mission on his behalf, "Luigi's Girls". His missions are
very easy since these are meant for newbies to get acquainted with Liberty
City and with Portland Island in particular.
There are a total of five missions, technically four since you have already
done one, and they can be done quickly. He is represented by the "L" icon not
far from your Safehouse.

When Claude arrives at the club then he is given a letter from Luigi by
Mickey, one of his guards:
"There is a new high on the street goes by the name of SPANK. Some

Go and introduce a bat to his face! Then take his car, respray it. I
want compensation for this insult!"

When you start the mission then you will be prompted to take the Baseball
Bat that is across the street from your position but you will not need it.
From here, drive over to Portland Harbor and run the guy over. The two
girls nearby are not Luigi's so you won't fail the mission if you kill
them.
Exit your car and get into the pusher's car. Go to the Pay 'N' Spray to get
it repainted then follow the blip to Luigi's garage and park it to

Luigi informs Claude that the Policeman's Ball is being held at the Old
School in Chinatown and they'll be looking for some "old school" action.
Luigi wants him to take as many of his girls, who are spread out all over
Portland Island, as fast as he can to the ball before the Cops spend all
their money on drinks.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Get a Taxi, or a Coach, and take it to Luigi's.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have five minutes to get a minimum of four girls to the Ball and there
are a total of eight girls on Portland Island. You fail the mission if you
run any of them over or get less than four girls to the Ball.
Start off by going north into Hepburn Heights and get one of the girls by
the bridge then go to the Harwood Junkyard entrance to get another then
pick up one near Cipriani's Ristorante in St. Mark's. Since the Taxi can </pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
only hold three girls then go the the Ball and drop off the girls.
From the Ball, go to the northeast part of Chinatown to pick up your next
girl then go back to St. Mark's to get the one just underneath the elevated
train tracks then the one by the Portland Harbor entrance. Then go back to
the Ball to drop them off.
From the Ball, go get the girl near Liberty City Sawmills then go into
Chinatown and get the one by Chinatown Plaza. Then go and drop them off at
the Ball to successfully complete the mission.
Then there is this route, using the Coach (which is the large bus), by
Scotty Boutin:
"Park the bus facing north next to Luigi's club before you start the
mission (Trust me, you do NOT want to have to turn this bus around,
especially in crowded streets).
Get in the bus and go north until you find the first girl (#1), who
should be on the right side of the bridge. After that, make a wide right
turn (ignore the road, turns are a hassle for this monstrosity) and pass
under the tunnel. You should notice another girl down near the car
crusher. Go ahead and leap off the ledge with the bus (you should stay
straight) and turn right onto the path, letting the girl (#2) get in
your bus). After a nice slow ride up the dirt hill (damn hills), keep
going straight until you reach Toni's house, where you should make a
left and pick up your next girl (#3) on your left.
Make your way up the hill (damn hills. Can they BE any slower?) and turn
right. Follow the road until the fourth girl is on your left. Pick her
up (#4) and continue down the road all the way to the fifth girl on your
right (#5). Make a left turn and continue until you reach the China
building (marked by the big R* billboard on top). Make another left and
hug the left side of the road until the alcove, where you will see girl
#6. Pick her up and bear right through the grass and bear due west on
the wide sidewalk so that the hedges are on your right. After that,
cross the road and bear left into the trees. Don't go too fast, and try
to stay as parallel as possible with the road to your right (use your
radar) so that you do not run into the Mean Street Taxi Cabs wall.
Once you start going uphill, bear right and eventually make it onto the
road (This is the road that overlooks the SupaSave and leads to the
Portland docks) and pick up the girl standing next to the Portland Docks
sign (to your left). (#7). As the road bears right, cut across the grass
onto the road that borders the Atlantic Quays (also the road that leads
to the bus depot where you probably picked this monstrosity up) and make
a right at the Liberty City Sawmills. The final girl (#8) should be on
your right. Almost there! Now all that is left is to make a left at the
end of the road and a quick right (you'll make this right at the
Callahan Bridge, marked by the blockades which wouldnt allow you to go
across it anyway). Make a left into the old school hall (You can cut
across the shrubs) and stop at the marker. Congratulations!"

Marty Chonks owns the Bitch 'N' Dog Food Factory and he seems to have all
kinds of money trouble. He has four missions total and you can pick them up
between 09:00 and 19:00 hours every day.
His missions are very easy and comprise of mainly taking one of his cheap
cars, picking up someone, taking that person back to the factory, and
disposing with the evidence.
If you're good enough and start the first mission at exactly 09:00 then you
can get the last mission started before 19:00. Since the missions are very
easy I will group them all here instead of breaking them down:
0==========0
| The Crook \
0=========================================================>
Take the Perennial, pick up the bank manager (who has been ripping off
Marty) at the Bank of Liberty in Chinatown, and take him back to the
factory. Then take the Perennial to the Car Crusher at the Harwood Junkyard
and earn $1,000 for successfully completing the mission.
0============0
| The Thieves \
0=========================================================>
Take the Sentinel, pick up the thieves (who have been threatening to tell
the insurance company on Marty who hired them to break into his apartment
for insurance fraud) at their turf in Chinatown, and take them back to the
factory.
Then take the Sentinel to the Pay 'N' Spray in Red Light District, take it
back to the factory, and earn $3,000 for successfully completing the
mission.
0=========0
| The Wife \
0=========================================================>
Take the Esperanto, pick up the wife (who has a nice insurance policy) at
Classic Nails in Red Light District, and take her back to the factory. You
have to dispose of the car in the sea and the best place to do it is at
Portland Beach east of the SupaSave! Store right where the docks meet the
beach.
Go partway down to the water and then get out. Gravity will then pull the
car into the water and you will earn $2,000 for successfully completing the
mission.
0==========0
| Her Lover \
0=========================================================>
Take the Stallion, pick up the guy (who was seeing Marty's wife before she
got whacked) in Chinatown, then take him back to the factory to
successfully complete the mission. You will earn $4,000 and complete all of
Marty Chonk's missions.

You will need to pick up this mission between 05:00 and 21:00 hours. When
you do then you have six minutes to complete this operation but this

Go up to Marco's Bistro and grab Mike's car then take it to 8-Ball's Bomb
Shop (St. Mark's). Then take it back to Marco's Bistro, park it, press
Attack to arm the bomb, and exit the car (make sure you close the door or
you will fail the mission).
Now go to the sidewalk and watch the show. If you smash up the car while

Mr. Chong runs a noodle stand in the middle of the Chinatown Plaza and has

>>The Fast Way
************
Llwyd Campbell, came up with this easy way to do the mission. Go to
the south entrance of Chinatown Plaza but don't enter.
Notice the small posts that mark the entrance of the Plaza. Go to the
second post from the left and look directly north toward Mr. Chong's
stand. Then hurl a single Grenade at the stand which, when it
explodes, will kill Mr. Chong and the nearby Triads to successfully
complete the mission.

If you were able to get the Sniper Rifle Weapon Icon for your

>>The Slow Way
************
In earlier versions of the guide, and has been suggested by others,
is that before confronting Mr. Chong, take both of his getaway
vehicles over to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop (St. Mark's) and arm them with
bombs then park them back where you found them and arm them.
Then go and confront Mr. Chong's guards who will give chase and
Chunky will run for one of his vehicles. And when he starts it up
then the car will go BOOM! and Mr. Chong will be eliminated.
Regardless of method, when Mr. Chong is killed, then the mission is
successfully completed.

Joey wants you to hit the payroll van that is cruising through Chinatown.
The van is impervious to bullets so you need a car and ram it off the road
to chase away the security guards driving the van. Then take it to Joey's
drop off point to complete the mission.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Get a Firetruck and head for Joey's Garage.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Take the Firetruck, find the red blip, and hit the Securicar. The large
Firetruck will allow you to chase away the security guards in about three
hits. You will also attract the attention of the Cops and get a 2-Star
Wanted Rating in the process.
After you get the Securicar then take it to the Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of
the Wanted Rating. Then start roaming around Portland Island. Why? To get
the game to spawn Securicars for the Industrial Import Export Garage. The
Securicar is easily the hardest vehicle to get because it rarely spawns.
However, the game needs to spawn at least one Securicar for this mission.
The Securicar you are riding, the payroll van, is a special one so that it
will not disappear on you when you take another car.
Whatever car you are driving at any time is placed into an array of some
sort so, while you are driving around, then you will see a lot of the same
car that you are currently driving. Since you are driving a Securicar for
this mission then you will see more Securicars roaming the street so you
will be able to get one for the Industrial Import Export Garage.
After a few minutes then another Securicar should appear so get out and
take it. Drive it to the Industrial Import Export Garage then go back and
get the payroll van Securicar you left behind. Then take the payroll van to
the drop-off point in Portland Docks to successfully complete the mission.

John Nowakowski had this to add about this mission:
"I just passed Dead Skunk in a Trunk mission really easily. From the roof
of the diner I threw a molotov at the Forelli car in the parking lot. It
didn't destroy the car, but both Forelli cars went nuts and started
crashing into the diner itself until they exploded. I just waited on the
roof until they were dead and took the car to the crusher. It is kind of
cheap, but it worked!"
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you get to Greasy Joe's Diner then you will see a gray Manana which
you will need to take to the car crusher. If you scope your surroundings
then you will notice a car with its lights on at the east side of the
parking lot.
It seems that the Forelli's are planning an ambush and one of the two cars
involved in the ambush is parked here. The other one is parked just
underneath the bridge by the tunnel.
There are a couple of ways to do this depending on your style:
>>Outwit Them
***********
For those who like the thrill of the chase then just take the Manana
and have fun outwitting them by going into narrow alleys and
outmaneuvering them on the way to the Car Crusher.
>>Ambush The Ambushers
********************
With the Firetruck, go through Chinatown, down the main road heading
under Callahan Bridge and smack the first car into the tunnel.
Usually you will either flip the car over or get it stuck along the
wall. The second car will then give chase and ram into the Firetruck.
The Firetruck is pretty tough so you can just drive-by the second
car, while it is backing up and ramming you again and again, it until
it explodes. After you destroy the second car then get into the
Manana and drive to the car crusher uncontested to successfully
complete the mission.

El Burro's first mission for Claude is for him to enter in a car race which
starts at the Old School near the Callahan Bridge.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
If you thought about blowing up the cars at the starting line like you
could in Vice City, forget about it. The cars are indestructible no matter
what weapon you use. You must race them. There are a total of eighteen
checkpoints in the race and the last one is near where you started. Winning
the race will successfully complete the mission.
There are two ways to do this race depending on your style:
>>Taking it Slow
**************
What reader Gui Ritter suggests is to take a car and, when the race
starts, drive *SLOWER* and more conservatively. That may sound self
defeating but this actually works very well. Why? The reason is
because the other racers drive very poorly and crash at corners often
thus taking themselves out of position.
If you drive slower and more carefully, while still maintaining a
good fast speed, then you can get into first place about midway
through the race. And, if you maintain this pace through the rest of
the course, then you can easily win the contest.
>>A Little Brute Force Never Hurts
********************************
In previous versions of this guide I was recommending the use of a
Firetruck because of its speed and mass. And I still recommend it if
you want to try something different.
The Firetruck has lousy starting acceleration but, once you get it up
to speed, then it is very fast. Also durable and, as you may have
found out doing the Firetruck Mission, hitting a car will send it
flying because of all of that mass you are driving.
Go to Harwood and get a Firetruck from the Fire Station. Then go to
the main road to the west of the Fire Station and head into Chinatown
through the Chinatown Shortcut gaining speed as you go. As you near
the three cars at the starting line then aim for and hit the middle
car at full speed.
When you do that then the race will automatically start. This will
temporarily disorient one of the cars as you blast through the
starting line like a bat out of hell. It will also take a few seconds
for the other two cars to get up to speed so you can get a head start
on them.
The toughest part is going from the starting line, through Trenton,
and turning right heading by Atlantic Quays. After that then it seems
to get easier since you can get a lot of speed going from Atlantic
Quays, through Callahan Point, to Chinatown.
Be careful when powersliding. Because of the Firetruck's mass you can
easily slide yourself out of contention if you're not careful. If
they try to pass you during the race then just smack them off to the
side. If they pass you then you may be able to hit them when they try
to turn corners since they are very lousy in their driving.
And, according to Robyn Pearson, if you use the siren, then this will
make the regular cars on the road either stop or get out of the way
which can make it easier to navigate the course.

A gang is threatening to remove El Burro's "starring member" out of his
"exotic entertainment business" unless they are given a cut. But El Burro
has other plans. This gang has a weakness for ice cream so Claude is to
find the hidden bomb in Harwood, jack an ice cream truck, take it to the
gang's hiding spot in Atlantic Quays and lure them to their doom with the
"jeengle jeengle".....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The bomb you need is sitting by Borgnine Taxis (and behind the Borgnine
Taxi if you unlocked it). Grab it then grab a car (or the Borgnine Taxi)
and find the red blip which is the Mr. Whoopee ice cream van. The van is
usually roaming around St. Mark's.
Find the van, jack the van and head to Atlantic Quays. When you get there
then park it in the blue circle, press Horn to start the music, and wait
(do *NOT* exit the van). The gang members will slowly head toward the van
and, when they get near the Mr. Whoopee van, then drive-by them to
successfully complete the mission.
More than likely you might not have acquired the Mr. Whoopee for the
Industrial Import Export Garage prior to this mission so this assignment
will make it easy to get one. Drive-bying the gangsters instead of blowing
up the van will allow you to just drive the van, after the mission, to the
Industrial Import Export Garage for deposit.

Some Triads stole El Burro's car, which had some irreplaceable burro
memorabilia in the trunk, who then wrecked and burned it. El Burro is
plenty mad and has left Claude a "throbbing weapon" near the edge of
Chinatown for him to take some revenge out on the Triads.....
0========0
| Weapons \
0=======================>
Flamethrower (provided).
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
I had a reader, Darren Anon, come up with the following suggestion:
"I did notice one thing that could go in your guide, for the "Trial By
Fire" (El Burro) mission - park your car right next to the flamethrower,
facing outwards. Right after taking the flamethrower, hop in the car
and race towards the nearby basketball court. You'll notice about 8-10
Triads in the court that you can't reach from the outside, but don't
actually go in there (it's a waste of time). Instead, flame one Triad on
the street; notice that the Triads in the court lose their mind and
start running around, sometimes towards you, and firing their guns if
they see you. You should only have to flame one or two through the
chain-link fence surrounding the court; the others will also catch on
fire and they will all die. That should make the quota of 25 Triads
easier to achieve. Also, if you slip up and get a cop's attention, you
can run up the up-ramp into the court itself, pick up the police bribe,
and leave through the other up-ramp on the opposite side. While the
maneuver takes away precious time, it may be better than restarting
depending on how well you are doing."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The "throbbing weapon", a Flamethrower, is located at the China Building.
After you grab the weapon then you have two and a half minutes to kill
twenty five Triads. Basically, this mission is like a Rampage except that
there are civilians present.
Care must be taken not to torch too many civilians otherwise you will
attract the attention of the Cops and that is bad since you can't outrun
them because of the heavy Flamethrower and torching them will only make
matters worse.
Head towards Chinatown Park frying Triads as you go. The park usually
generates a lot of Triads thus simplifying your task. When you finish
killing twenty five Triads then you will successfully complete the mission.

After this mission then the Triads will become hostile to you so, if you go
through Chinatown, they will try to yank you from your car and hurt you.
As already noted earlier, the last mission from Toni will also make the
Triads hostile to you but it is best to do this mission first since it will
make the mission easier by not having the Triads shoot at you while flaming
them.

A thief has stolen the van carrying El Burro's latest publication, Donkey
Does Dallas 1,2, and 3. Worse, the thief has left the doors open and has
spilled the contents all over Portland Island. Claude is to get the mags,
kill the thief, and take the magazines to XXX Mags in the Red Light
District.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Glen T. Winstein pointed out a shortcut that can be used here. In addition,
another reader, Kevin Berg, had an idea to increase the amount of time you
have for the mission:
"I recently read your FAQ and was quite impressed with the detail. I
would like to submit a strategy for the mission "Big 'N' Veiny". I found
that this helped me to beat the mission in a bit easier way. You receive
the mission from the phone, and then before you get in the Rumpo, you
run behind and sprint into the back bumper. This will push the Rumpo
forward and you can effectivly push the van quite a ways to get a bit of
a head start. I thought that this might be helpful."
It is indeed helpful and this idea made its way into the guide.
But somebody else, Demarest, took this idea one step further (info provided
by Glen T. Winstein):
"I just saw this gimmick by Demarest at GTA Forums and thought you might
like it. It reminds me of the one you have of Claude pushing the van
before starting the mission for a head start for "Big 'n' Veiny," but he
has Claude push it E to the grass then S past Greasy Joe's (to avoid
gangsters) and all the way to the end of the run. He has Claude get in,
get out, and shoot the guy."
This method is recommended if you have some time to kill since it takes
awhile to push the van where it needs to go.
I should also point out that you cannot go ahead and kill the thief before
you enter the van. He will not appear until you enter the van.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
As Kevin pointed out, go behind the Rumpo and push it forward along the
sidewalk. It is actually best to angle the van into the street otherwise
pedestrians will block your way.
On the sidewalk along the right side of the street you will find gratings.
First, there is a group of two sets of gratings (a set has three panels).
When you reach the third set of gratings then stop pushing the van and
enter it.
By getting the van close to the first set of magazines then you will gain
several seconds of extra time which will help you a lot regardless of
whatever path, listed below, you want to take.
There are three ways that this mission can be done:
>>The Assigned Path
*****************
Get into the van provided and collect the dropped magazines. You have
twenty seconds to start and you are given one second for each bundle
picked up.
The path winds through St. Mark's, Chinatown, Callahan Point,
Atlantic Quays, and finally Portland Harbor. This mission is
difficult because of the unstable van and the traffic which keeps you
from gaining substantial time.
Keep a moderate speed and you should be able to keep the van steady
enough, and fast enough, to hit the mags. The turn heading toward the
park in Chinatown is one that may trip you up.
Getting the Rumpo close to the first set of magazines will help you a
lot here.
>>The St. Mark's Shortcut
**********************
As Glen pointed out, there is a shortcut that can be used. However,
as I am about to point out, it is not that much easier than the
Assigned Path but, if you are having difficulty doing it that way,
then this may be a viable option.
Follow the path leading up through St. Mark's and to Marco's Bistro.
Then keep going straight, aim for the bush left of the tree, jump off
the hill and towards Portland Harbor.
But some things need to go right. First, you should have about 18-20
seconds on the clock when you reach Marco's Bistro. That means that
you have to have a very good run leading up to that point. That also
means you can't hit any cars along the way.
Second, after you jump off the hill, then you have to land on your
wheels. On most of my attempts the van would smack the fence and just
flip upside down regardless of how solid my approach was.
Frustrating. The Rumpo is a lousy vehicle and always wants to flip
over at the slightest provocation.
If you manage to stay on your wheels then you have to go through the
gap on the left side of the fence which is made tricky by the fact
that the van doesn't go into there very well. If you manage to make
it through then you can get to the last of the magazines with about
1-3 seconds to spare. Follow them to the end of the line.
Because of these factors then it may take you several tries before
you succeed with this method.
>>Claude Needs His Exercise
*************************
If the above strategies don't work for you then try the "push the
van" method suggested in the above Notes. You should do the Ambulance
Mission first so that you can have the Infinite Run feature enabled.
However, I found that there is a better route to push the van than
what is stated above.
When you start the mission then push the van forward then push it
east past the phone where you picked up the mission. The goal is to
push the van into St. Marks and onto the road that Cipriani's
Ristorante is on then go south.
The hard part is pushing the van up the hill to that road but it
really isn't that hard to do. What's harder is keeping Claude behind
the van since he tends to slip around the side a lot.
After you start going south then you can quickly push the van all the
way to the entrance of Portland Docks (although you have the option
of pushing it all the way to the thief). The advantage to this route
is that you avoid having to combat Triads since you don't go anywhere
near them.
But, it should be pointed out, that you can still damage the van if
you push it into other objects so you need to take care when pushing.
When you finally reach the thief, regardless of method, then just hit him
with your van then drive to XXX Mags in Red Light District to successfully
complete the mission.

And this will complete all of El Burro's missions.
However, the phone will still ring and there will still be a blue mission
circle. Going into the blue mission circle will allow you to do the mission
"Turismo" again. This is so you can try to improve your time in the race.
But, later on in the game, it will be very difficult to do "Turismo" so it
may be wise to try to get your best times now.

There are six Triads total, five on foot and one in a laundry van. You have
to kill all of them before you are allowed to deliver the money. The very
first thing you should do is to run toward the laundry van without fighting
the others. Jack it and start running over or drive-bying the other Triads.
If you do this right then you should be able to do this mission without so
much as a scratch. After you kill the last Triad then take the money to

There are three Warlords to take down. One is in Chinatown Plaza, another
is by Raffles Fish Factory and the last one is at The Turtle Head Fishing
Co. in Callahan Point.
As you enter Chinatown then a Police radio dispatch will announce that
there is a gang war going on in Chinatown. You will see Mafia men fighting
it out with the Triads. Chinatown has become a war zone so care must be
taken while in this section of Portland Island.
Drive to the Plaza entrance by Punk Noodles, get out and run into the
Plaza to confront and kill the first Warlord with the Uz-I. Then get back
in your car and drive to Raffles Fish Market then run over the second
Warlord.
Next, find a Triad Fish Van, jack it, and then drive over to the Turtle
Head Fishing Co. After the Triads let you in then go over to to where the
third Warlord is and drive-by him to successfully complete the mission.
Or you could do what reader TerryT did and that is use a vehicle and jump
into the compound using the hill near the west side of the compound.
For best results you should get the Banshee from Capital Autos and start
from the clearing where you can find a Health Icon. After you jump the wall
then you will either hit and kill the Warlord or put yourself into position
to drive-by him.
Another option, by Armin C. Vucsina, is to just stand outside the wall and
throw Grenades over it to kill the Warlord.

There is a hill there which you can get on top and just snipe the third
warlord from outside the wall to complete the mission (this was Glen's
idea).
Another suggestion, by Ian Spears, is to get to the closest point to the

shoot through the wall and kill him.

Salvatore suspects that one of the bartenders over at Luigi's club might be

follow this bartender, Curly Bob, to see if he is ratting them out. If he
is then he is to be killed.....
0======0

Get a Taxi and take it with you to Salvatore's Mansion. Even better, if you
managed to complete the Taxi Mission on Portland Island, then use the
Borgnine Taxi instead.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Normally, when you get to the Club, then you will see a Taxi there meant
for Curly Bob. When he gets in the taxi then you are supposed to stay your
distance while following Curly Bob, by means of a Spookmeter, otherwise you
will fail the mission if you got too close.
By the way, you can't jack this particular Taxi which is why you have to
provide your own.
But you can simplify your mission tremendously by taking your Taxi and
parking it behind the other Taxi making sure that your Taxi is nearest to
the service tunnel and that you are parked in the street (if you park on
the sidewalk Curly Bob will ignore your Taxi).
When Curly Bob shows up then he will enter your Taxi instead of the one in
front and all you have to do is drive him to Portland Docks. No spooking
to worry about. When you get to Portland Docks then park in the blue
circle. The following cutscene confirms Salvatore's suspicions.
After the cutscene ends then take your Taxi and run over Curly Bob (be
careful - he has a Shotgun) to successfully complete the mission. If you
use the Borgnine then you can kill him before he can fire because this Taxi
is much faster than the others.

| Notes \
0=======================>
I had a few readers complaining about this mission. So I played around with
it for some time and I came up with an interesting way to make this mission
easier.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you get to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop (St. Mark's) then he informs you that he
needs $100,000 to cover expenses before you can go further. However, if you
have done everything up to this point, then you should have quite a bit
more than that (especially if you went to the other side early). So, step
into the blue circle again to proceed.
From this point, there are two methods for completing this mission:
>>The Standard Method
*******************
Go to Portland Docks and park in the blue circle. As 8-Ball gets into
position then go up the stairs to the top of the building north and
across from the ship.
You need to use the Sniper Rifle to take down all of the Columbian
guards on the ship so 8-Ball can get inside. 8-Ball won't go until
you start shooting so you can go ahead and scope things out. Start
with the leftmost guard and work your way right.
According to Jon Porter, you can make things easier for yourself if
you use the Adrenaline Icon in the middle of the group of small
construction trailers at the west side of the building. This will
slow things down for you.
Another reader, Jim Plate, also suggested to me that you can block
the entrance of the ramp with another car to slow down 8-Ball so you
can gain additional time to kill the Columbians. However, the
Columbians will shoot at you and you will take damage as you flee
toward your vantage point.
After you kill the last guard then 8-Ball will get inside and you can
watch his brand of fireworks to successfully complete the mission.
>>The Lure Method
***************
This method requires some patience to pull off but, if you are having
trouble completing this mission, then this will make things easier.
This method involves luring some of the Columbian guards away from
the ship prior to dropping off 8-Ball in the blue circle at Portland
Harbor.
The important thing to note is that you *CANNOT* let any Columbian
guards die before you drop off 8-Ball. If you do then the remaining
guards are alerted and you will fail the mission. A good solid car,
like a Taxi, will work fine but a tougher vehicle is recommended.
Before starting part two of this mission place your car close to the
underground tunnel that goes under St. Mark's. When you get 8-Ball
then switch to a weapon you can run with and run as fast as you can
to your parked car.
Then get in *WITHOUT* 8-Ball and speed off into the tunnel. The game
will complain that you have left 8-Ball behind. That's okay.
This will keep 8-Ball safe from harm as you do the next part of this
method. This will also keep you from accidentally dropping him off in
the blue circle or killing him if Bad Things happen while luring the
guards away.
When you get to Portland Docks then go to the blue circle. Because
you do not have 8-Ball then nothing will happen. Turn your car
towards the Columbian guards and slowly move towards them.
The moment the pair by the Cartel Cruisers start firing then quickly
back the car away from them in a straight line all the way to the
small crane. When you get to the small crane then stop and angle your
car southwest and toward the Garage Building.
Now these two Columbian guards will start chasing you on foot. Every
so often they will shoot at you with their AK-47s.
The thing here is to keep enough distance from them so that they
don't shoot at you and, if they do, then they either don't hit you or
inflict little damage. I should also point out that, even though this
method is time consuming, these guys actually run pretty fast.
Keep an eye on the two Columbian guards you lured away. After they
get into the blue circle then quickly speed forward and go onto the
main path leading out of Portland Docks. Use Look Behind to make sure
that the guards don't get stuck in the pillars in front of the Garage
Building. If they do then move backwards to get them unstuck.
After they are clear of the pillars then exit Portland Docks, go
across the street and park near the crates, point north and, use
drive-by (right) to keep an eye on the Columbian guards.
When they get into the street then head north (but get onto the
sidewalk on the right side of the street) and stop at the small dirt
ramp near SupaSave!. Turn your car so that you are facing slightly
southwest and toward Mean Street Taxis.
When the Columbians get past the wall (for the alley that leads to
Mean Street Taxis) then head forward again, go across the street onto
the grass, and stop at the northwest corner of the wall for the
parking lot for Mean Street Taxis.
What you want them to do is to climb the short wall on the east side
of the Mean Street Taxis area then drop down into the area itself.
When they do that then they are trapped there and will no longer be a
problem. You may have to move your vehicle a little bit to lure them
into the area.
After you have trapped these two guards then go straight east along
the outside wall and back to the street where you came from then get
8-Ball, head back to Portland Harbor, drop him off in the blue
circle, and get into position to kill the remaining Columbians.
This should be enough to make it easier because you have two fewer
guards to deal with and all you need to do is make a straight left to
right run with the Sniper Rifle.
However, I should point out, is that you can also lure the two guards
at the top of the ramp as well (purely optional). To do this you have
to have lured the first two guards away.
Then go partway up the ramp with a *NEW* car (since you will get it
shot up a bit) which will cause the two guards at the top of the ramp
to notice you. After that then quickly back away in a straight line
all the way to the small crane. This will allow them to come down the
ramp.
After these two guards are safely away from the ramp then you do
exactly the same thing you did with the previous two which is luring
them to Mean Street Taxis. After this is done and you return to
Portland Harbor with 8-Ball then you have *FOUR* less guards to deal
with.
Another bonus to luring the extra guards away is that, after you drop
off 8-Ball, then you can block off the entrance of the ramp with your
vehicle without the other Columbians shooting at you and causing
8-Ball to move forward before you have a chance to get into shooting
position.
I should point out that the game has a failsafe that allows 8-Ball to
warp around any obstacle blocking the ramp but it takes awhile for
that to activate so this will buy some additional time when you start
shooting. A nice bonus is that you don't have to leave your position
to move the obstacle for 8-Ball - he'll just teleport around it.

If you managed to get all 100 Hidden Packages to acquire the Rocket
Launcher Weapon Icon for your Safehouses then you can make things even
easier. Start at the bottom of the ramp and make your way from left to
right. If you are fast enough then you can clear the ship of Columbians
before 8-Ball can make his way up to the deck.

Salvatore is very happy with the results from the last mission.....
"I'm proud of you my boy, you kicked the shit outta those grease balls."
.....but he has a small job for Claude before celebrating.....
"There is a car around the block from Luigi's club. The inside is covered
in brains. We had to help some guy make up his mind and it proved a
little messy. Take it to the crusher before the Cops find it."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Go to the blip near Luigi's club. As you near the blip then you receive a
message on your pager from Maria. The car is actually a trap meant for
Claude and Maria wants you to meet her at the slip on the south side of the
Callahan Bridge. When you get there you will find Maria nearly
hysterical.....
"Listen, Salvatore thinks that we're going behind his back, so he was
offering you to the Cartel in order to make a deal. I couldn't let him
do that, I mean the worst thing is, it's all my fault...because I told
him, we were an item.
Don't ask me why, I don't know. Look you're a marked man on Mafia turf
and I've got to get out of here too. I've seen too much killing. Too
much blood!"
Jeez, after all of that work and now it's shot to shit. However, Maria
introduces Claude to an old friend of hers, Asuka. Asuka recommends that
they get out of there before the Mafia finds out. Take the boat and drive
it to the blue marker to end the mission. And Asuka leaves you with a few
words.....
"You'll need a place to lie low. There's a warehouse at the edge of
Belleville that should suit your needs. Come back here to my Condo when
you are ready, and we can have a little chat."
After the mission is successfully completed then head to your new Safehouse
on Staunton Island and save your game.

$20,000.
In addition, if you have the PS4 Version, then completing this mission
should also get you the {A Marked Man} Trophy.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
This will complete Salvatore Leone's missions and open up Asuka Kasen's set
of missions.
When you enter a car then you will listen to a special news report. The
Callahan Bridge has finally been repaired so you can now travel by car back
to Portland Island. This will also open a section of the Porter Tunnel
between Staunton Island and Portland Island.
With these new roads open it is time to go over.....

Staunton Island is the heart and soul (such at it is) of Liberty City. A lot
of large businesses, like AMCO Petroleum, are based out of this area. Most of
these businesses are located in the Torrington and Bedford Point districts. A
large park can be found in the Belleville Park district.
There are also some expensive condominiums to the east. Aspatria is home to
Liberty Memorial Coliseum. Staunton Island is also home to St. Matthias
University, the major college in this region, based in the Liberty Campus
district.
Fort Staunton, destroyed in a massive explosion in 1998 but is rapidly being
rebuilt with office buildings, is to the east of the college.

From here, head out to the nearby street and head northeast. Then stop at the
intersection where this road ends. This is an unusual intersection in that
this street comes in at the southwest corner of a four-way intersection. This
creates a dual intersection. And at the northeast corner of this dual
intersection nearby is the:

a giant explosion in 1998.
There is one building on the site that is about halfway
finished, at the southeast section of the area, which I will
call the Pan-Lantic Building.
For some reason there is a lot of Columbians here so care needs to be taken
when going through this area. And at the northwest corner of this
intersection is the:
>>Campus Shops

(Aspatria), goes through Rockford, and ends at the north part
of Newport Bridge (Newport).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

then you should see a small road to your left. Following this road north will
lead you to:
>>Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus
***************************
Location: (North) Rockford.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where Phil Cassidy moved his operations after the

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the Staunton Island entrance to the controversial Porter
Tunnel project. At this point you can go back to Portland Island
but the tunnel is not completed enough to let you go to

Liberty City.
And at the north side of this intersection is:
>>Middle Park
************
Location: (Central) Belleville Park.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the main park area for Belleville Park. Although it
really should be called Belleville Park I felt it would be too
confusing if I did that because Belleville Park encompasses more
than just the park itself. So I decided to call it Middle Park
instead (this is also a nod to GTA IV).
From here, turn right and stop at the next three-way intersection. Near the
southeast corner of this intersection is the:
>>Tw@ Internet Cafe
*****************
Location: (North) Bedford Point.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: A place where you can surf the internet and gulp down overpriced
lattes.
This intersection is part of a group of intersections. At the northeast
corner of this area, and close to the Callahan Bridge, is:
>>Lips 106
********
Location: (South) Newport.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This large double building, with an overhang that goes around
the complex, is home to another popular radio station. It should
be noted that there is no signage on the building that indicates
this but that is what it says on the map that comes included
with the game.
From here, turn right and go through the next three-way intersection then
turn left at the next four-way intersection. Proceed southeast all the way to
the three-way intersection where this road ends then turn right and stop at
the next intersection.

>>Kenji's Casino
**************
Location: (East) Torrington.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the only place to legally gamble in Liberty City. It is
rumored to be owned by a member of the Yakuza crime family.
Now go forward and along the road loop that goes around the Casino and
proceed north. Eventually you will go under the Callahan Bridge. After
passing under the bridge then you should see an area with lots of tractor
trailers off to the right side of the road. This area is the:
>>Industrial Park
***************
Location: (East) Newport, next door south of The Condos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: An industrial park where tractor trailers are parked and several
small warehouses can be found. Also stretches south into

Continue forward and turn left at the three-way intersection under the
Newport Bridge. As you proceed west then you should see off to your left the:

>>8-Ball's Bomb Shop (Newport)
****************************
Location: Newport.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you can fit your vehicle with a bomb and leave a
nasty surprise for someone.
From this intersection, turn left and go along the reddish colored road that
cuts through The Belleville Mall area then turn right at the next three-way
intersection and turn left at the next three-way intersection. Head west all
the way to the next three-way intersection where this road ends. Here, you
will be under the:
>>Shoreside Lift Bridge Loop
**************************
Location: (West) Belleville Park.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the loop that goes to the Shoreside Lift Bridge that
leads into Shoreside Vale.

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed below are the seven Rampages for Staunton Island and the strategies
for each location:
0==================================0
| [R7] - Destroy 15 Vehicles (M-16) \
0===========================================================================>
[LBC-R7-A] - Location: On a grassy area between buildings at the south side
of Liberty Campus.
Neighborhood: Liberty Campus.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: From the Staunton Island Safehouse, head out into
the street then go north to the dual intersection
and turn left. Then turn right at the next three-way
intersection and stop at the next three-way
intersection.
Just south of the southeast corner of this
intersection is an entry point into this part of
Liberty Campus. Go east through this entry then
angle southeast as you get near the building in the
center of this block.
This should put you at the south side of this
building where you should see a grassy area between
this building and the building to your right. The
Rampage can be found here.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Drive up to it, activate it, and drive over to the nearby
Liberty Memorial Coliseum parking lot. Destroy all the
cars there including your own. Then go over to the
intersection at the northwest part of the parking lot.
There you can get the rest of the cars you need to
complete the Rampage.
When the Police cars start coming then this will make
things a little easier since they will converge on you
and won't try to speed away when you shoot at them unlike
the other cars. The Police Helicopter also counts as a
vehicle so destroy it if you can.
If you start a chain reaction of explosions then all the
exploding cars count even if you didn't shoot directly at
them.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[FRS-R7-B] - Location: Inside the corner of the ruins at the inside part of
the sharp angled turn at the east side of the
Pan-Lantic Construction Site.
Neighborhood: Fort Staunton.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the dual intersection at the southwest corner
of the Pan-Lantic Construction Site. Just east of
the northeast corner of this intersection is an
entryway into the Construction Site.
Go north through the entryway and into the Site.
Angle northeast and you should see a long blue wall.
Go northeast past the corner of the wall, which
should have a red steel beam next to it, then
continue northeast and you should see the corner of
some ruins that are just inside the road curve. The
Rampage can be found inside the corner of these
ruins.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get a car and drive up to it. Activate it, destroy your
car, and the Cartel Cruiser west of your position.
Go to the opening east of your position and shoot up the
cars, and any Columbian that shoots at you, that appear
on the road. Stay behind the fence as this will keep the
pedestrians from taking whacks at you. The game should
produce enough cars to complete it.
0=====================================0
| [R8] - Explode 25 Yardies (Grenades) \
0===========================================================================>
[BLP-R8-A] - Location: In the alley behind the Belleville Park Fire Station.
Neighborhood: Belleville Park.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Activate it and run to the Liberty Memorial Coliseum
parking lot. The short wall there will keep any hostile
Yardies at bay but will allow you to throw Grenades at
them. This will make this Rampage easy.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[BLP-R8-B] - Location: At the end of an L-shaped alley north of the Staunton
Island Safehouse.
Neighborhood: Liberty Campus.

intersection.
Near the northeast corner of this intersection is
the entrance to an alley. Go north into this alley
then turn right at the corner to find the Rampage at
the end.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The simplest way to do this is to run down the street,
throw Grenades at any Yardies you see and run away from
those who chase you and hope that the game generates
enough Yardies to finish it.
0==================================0
| [R9] - Torch 16 Yakuza (Molotovs) \

by the door.
----------------------------------------------------------------

enough away from them when you kill them otherwise you

Directions: Head to the four-way intersection at the northeast
corner of the 20thC. Building. From here, go
northwest then turn right at the next three-way
intersection.
As you get near the next three-way intersection
then you should see the west side of Liberty
Cathedral. Stop at the Cathedral then walk north
alongside the Church and turn right at the corner.
Inside the next corner is the almost hidden
entrance to the graveyard. The Rampage can be found
just inside this entrance.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get a car and drive up to it. Activate it and drive just
south along the road to the set of stairs at the
southwest corner of the nearby three-way intersection
(close to the "Join the Army!" and "Punk Noodles"
billboards).
Drive up the stairs and get out. From here you can get
a lot of Yardies quickly. If any manage to come up to

Notes: Activate it and go back down to street level. Stay
behind the railings and shoot at the Yardies. Remember,
only headshots count. The only matter to resolve is
whether you are accurate and fast enough to complete it.
The game always seems to generate enough to complete the
Rampage so there should be no shortage of targets.
Reader Gui Ritter also had this to add about this
Rampage:
"Accuracy is really not a problem to complete this.
It's more like timing. Do this: Watch the head, draw
a imaginary line that makes the head's future
trajectory, aim at that line and wait for the head to
get into your aim. Then shoot. I made the rampage in
about 1:30 doing this way."

Notes: Activate it and jump down to the street in front of the
main entrance. From this point you can just stand here
and pop their heads with no problem except for one.
Since the Yardies and the Yakuza don't like each other
then, whenever a Yakuza Stinger drives by, the Yardies
will chase and attack it thus making it harder to get
your headshots.

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed below are the four Unique Stunt Jumps that can be found on Staunton
Island:
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
| Newport (NPT) |+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Newport (NPT) |
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
[NPT-J9] - A concrete ramp
***************
Location: At the southwest corner at the top level of the
Multistory Car-Park.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: You will need to move the car that is usually parked in
the pathway so you can get enough speed to make the Jump.
[NPT-J10] - A pile of gravel
****************
Location: Directly underneath the west end of Callahan Bridge
at the Industrial Park.
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Try not to go too fast otherwise you may bounce off the
other end of the landing area and into the water.
[NPT-J11] - A grassy ramp
*************
Location: On the median, and between the billboards, for the
Newport Bridge east of Lips 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Head to the three-way intersection at the north end
of the Newport Bridge. Head south onto the bridge.
When you get to the top of the bridge then you
should see a small ramp at the start of the bridge
median. Carefully go up this ramp to get onto the
median.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Heading: North to South.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: When you get onto the median then zip straight ahead but
be careful of the trees as they can mess up your
approach if you're not careful. You don't have to clear
the bridge to get the game to recognize the Jump. Just
smacking into the wall on the other side will suffice.
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
| Bedford Point (BDT) |+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++| Bedford Point (BDT) |
0---------------------------------------------------------------------------0
[BDT-J12] - A set of stairs
***************
Location: Inside the Tw@ Internet Cafe.
Heading: East to West and through the Cafe.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Start from the corner to the east and align yourself
with the ramp when you approach the street. Reader Gui
Ritter had this to add about the Jump:
"If you go up the stairs, break the glass, and back up
to the garage entrance, you can get enough speed to
make the jump. But you must not hit the ceiling and
hitting the stairs more to the left seems to help.
Also, when I did it, i had hit the garage door and
was turning to make the jump. That might be better
than stopping and starting from no speed."
And now for some other missions.....

/=========================================================================\
| >STI6. A Ride In The Park |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Go into Middle Park and near the north end by the basketball courts is a
Landstalker. Entering it will trigger the vehicle checkpoint mission "A Ride
In The Park". Here you have two minutes to collect twelve Checkpoints and you
are given ten seconds for each one you acquire. It is important to note that
when you collect the first Checkpoint you will start at ten seconds and you
must collect the next one quickly.
It is also important to point out that the weather should be clear before
doing this mission or it will become much harder as rain will make the grass
much more slick and more difficult to get the Checkpoints.
When you start the side-mission then you will see Checkpoint [#1] off to your
left. Go to the set of tracks on the other side of the building and line
yourself with the platform the Checkpoint is on.
Carefully get on the platform and then collect the Checkpoint. Then rush to
the wall on the west side of the park and head south scraping the right side
of the Landstalker against the wall in the process.
Ahead of you is a cluster of three Checkpoints [#2, #3, #4]. Get the first</pre><pre id="faqspan-9">
Checkpoint ahead of you [#2] then angle slightly left to get Checkpoint [#3].
Stop and let the vehicle settle against the wall then back up to get
Checkpoint [#4]. Go south to the end of the park and collect Checkpoint [#5]
then head back north to the small bridge and approach from the west side.
Here there are a cluster of three Checkpoints [#6, #7, #8]. Get the
Checkpoint on the west incline [#6] then the Checkpoint under the bridge
[#7] and then line yourself with the next Checkpoint and climb up the incline
get [#8].
From there, head northeast to the obelisk and get the Checkpoint on the
outside edge of it [#9] then go up the stairs and get Checkpoint [#10]. Back
straight out and get the Checkpoint at the toilet block [#11]. Move forward
and head north to the lake. The last Checkpoint is on the island and you will
see an incline on the east side of the island.
Climb it to acquire Checkpoint [#12] and you will successfully complete the
mission and get $30,000 as a reward as well as another step towards 100%
Completion.

| >STI7. Multistorey Mayhem |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
This particular vehicle checkpoint side-mission takes place within the
confines of the Multistory Car-Park in Newport. The setup is a little unusual
in that you have to take a Stallion, stop just outside of one of the
entrances, get out, then get back in again.
There is usually one parked just inside the south entrance of the car-park.
Get it, go out the south entrance, turn around so that you are just outside
the south entrance, get out then get in again.
When you start the side-mission then you have two minutes to get twenty
Checkpoints. Unlike the other vehicle checkpoint side-missions the timer
starts when the mission does and you have twenty seconds to start plus five
seconds for each Checkpoint acquired.
The first four are on the ground level. Checkpoint [#1] is just ahead of you
then turn left until you see Checkpoint [#2] which is between the entrances
(a commonly missed Checkpoint) then turn right until you see Checkpoint [#3]
then whip left to get Checkpoint [#4] then go up the ramp to the second
level.
When you get up to the second level then get Checkpoint [#5] which is ahead
of you but a little to the left then turn around and get Checkpoint [#6]
which is in a car (smack the car to move it out of the way when you get the
Checkpoint) then angle left to get Checkpoint [#7] and straighten out to get
Checkpoint [#8] then turn right and go up the ramp.
When you get up to level three then spin left to get the Checkpoint which is
sitting by the ramp [#9] (another commonly missed checkpoint) then turn
around and go along the right wall to get Checkpoints [#10] and [#11] (be
careful when approaching the wall - there seems to be an invisible obstacle
near where the ramp is).
When you get Checkpoint [#12] then back up and turn right to go up the ramp.
After getting up to level four then get the Checkpoint ahead and off to the
right [#13] then turn right to get Checkpoint [#14] then whip left to get
Checkpoint [#15] then get Checkpoint [#16] near the ramp before going up.
After getting up to level five then turn left to get the Checkpoint by the
ramp [#17] then turn around and go to the Checkpoint along the right wall
[#18] then turn left to get Checkpoint [#19] then go along the wall and jump
off the ramp to get the last Checkpoint suspended in the air [#20].
When you acquire the last Checkpoint then you will successfully complete the
mission and get $30,000 as a reward as well as another step towards 100%
Completion.

/=========================================================================\
| >STI8. Taxi Mission |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Whenever you enter a Taxi then you have the option of doing the Taxi Mission
by pressing Activate Vehicle Mission. This mission comprises of picking up
fares and driving them to their destination a la Sega's "Crazy Taxi".
The more fares you pick up in one run, the more money you make. In earlier
versions of this guide I said that the easiest place to do this mission was
on Portland Island.
However, while playing around on the Xbox version, I found that doing it on
Staunton Island was easier, especially when using the Taxi Trick which allows
you to use another vehicle for a Taxi (Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine
Demo Disc (Issue 67): Taxi Trick by DeMarlo King.)
First, get a Taxi and go to The Condos in Newport. There you should see a
Yakuza Stinger. Park close to the Stinger, exit the Taxi, and get into the
Stinger to see if it is unlocked. If it is unlocked then re-enter the Taxi.
Press and HOLD the Activate Vehicle Mission button. While holding the
Activate Vehicle Mission button then exit your Taxi and enter the other car.
On the PS2, the Activate Vehicle Mission is usually the R3 Button (except on
one setup) and Right Analog Stick is also the Look Around stick so it will be
disorienting when trying to get inside the other car.
After you get close enough to the other car then press Enter Vehicle and,
once inside (wait until you close the car door otherwise the mission will end
before it begins), then release the Activate Vehicle Mission button. Now the
Taxi Mission will begin inside the new car.
This trick also works on the Xbox version and is much easier to do because
the X Button is the Activate Vehicle Mission button so there is no
disorientation while trying to get inside the other vehicle.
And, thanks to one of my regular readers, Glen T. Winstein, this also works
on the PC version:
"The taxi trick works for PC: hold Caps Lock to initiate activation of the
mission, hit F to exit the taxi, maneuver Al to whatever other vehicle,
hit F to enter it, then release Caps Lock."
I used the Stinger because it handles a lot better at high speed than the
Banshee (which I was using in earlier versions of the guide when in
Portland).
The only thing to look out for is when you are told to go the Pan-Lantic
Construction Site. While getting your customer to it then you will be shot at
by Columbians so you have to make sure that they can't get into position to
pull you out (and end your mission).
Strangely enough, half the time I drop off a customer there then my next fare
tends to be one of the Columbians trying to shoot me.
Even though Staunton Island is bigger than Portland Island the Stinger helps
you to make quick work of the Taxi Mission (the flatter terrain helps also).
When you get 100 fares total (not necessarily in one run) then you will
unlock the Borgnine Taxi at Borgnine Taxis which is next door to HEAD Radio
in Harwood (Portland Island) and inch closer to 100% Completion. If you own
the PS4 Version then you should also get the {Where To?} Trophy.

Don't forget to do the Firetruck and Vigilante Missions for Staunton Island.
As before, only the first twenty kills in the Vigilante Mission count toward
additional Police Bribes and the first twenty fires put out during the
Firetruck Mission count toward getting the Flamethrower Weapon Icon for all
of your Safehouses.
A Firetruck can be found at the Belleville Park Fire Station and a Police Car
can be found at the Torrington Police Station.

In a parking lot just northwest of Kenji's Casino is another Toyz Van.
Entering it will trigger the Toyz Van Mission "Casino Calamity".
Just like in the side-missions "Diablo Destruction" and "Mafia Massacre", you
have to use remote controlled cars to destroy gang vehicles. In this
side-mission you have to destroy as many Yakuza Stingers as you can in two
minutes.
With all of the side stuff done on Staunton Island let's go back to the Main
Story Missions starting with.....

| >MSY7. Asuka Kasen +
0==========================================================================/
Asuka Kasen is a member of the Yakuza, the infamous Japanese crime syndicate.
She has a brother, Kenji who is also a member. She will provide Claude with
new objectives as he deals with the Mafia betrayal. She has eight missions
total and five of them can be done from the "A" at Asuka's Condo. The last
three will be done at another location later in the game.
You may want to take a Mafia Sentinel from Salvatore's Mansion and put it in
the garage at any of your Safehouses prior to doing Asuka's first mission if
you haven't already done so. This vehicle will be needed later in the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
**VERY IMPORTANT: You *MUST* do the mission "Two-Faced Tanner" before the
mission "Grand Theft Aero". If you do "Grand Theft Aero"
first then you will *NOT* be able to do "Two-Faced Tanner"
and you will lose out on 100% Completion.

Before Asuka can give him work with the Yakuza, Claude must prove to them
that his Mafia ties are completely broken. Asuka tells Claude to kill
Salvatore Leone who is currently at the Sex Club 7 in the Red Light
District. In the meantime, Asuka and Maria are going to catch up on old
times:
Maria: "Oh...Asuka, you've got a massager."
Asuka: "That's not a massager."

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have three hours to get in position to take down Salvatore. Grab the
Yakuza Stinger that is always parked by the condo and zip over to Red Light
District as fast as possible.
However, according to Vicktor Volpe, you can also take a Speeder and head
to the small dock near Callahan Bridge. Then head toward the road and jack
a vehicle so you can proceed to the Red Light District.
The absolute best place to take down Salvatore is where Package [RLD-H17]
was (the rooftop across from Sex Club 7). From there, you can use the
Sniper Rifle on Salvatore when he leaves the club. After you waste him then
the mission is successfully completed.
Another option, by Dan Stephen, is to do the following:
"What I basically did is got in the back of Sex Club 7 and waited for the
bodyguards and Salvatore himself to come out of the service door. I
simply hurled tonnes of Molotovs Cocktails at them until I got the
"Mission Passed!" message. It works around 70-80% of the time."

If you have the Rocket Launcher then you can do what Hollyrotten77
suggests.
Instead of heading to the Sex Club 7 go to the road entrance to Salvatore's
Mansion instead and wait just inside. Salvatore's car will come from the
south and you can destroy his car just before he gets to the road entrance
with the Rocket Launcher.

In addition, the Mafia will be hostile to you so it will be very dangerous
to enter the St. Mark's neighborhood (because they will now start carrying
Shotguns which are extremely powerful and will kill you quickly).
Also, you will be paged by King Courtney, leader of the Yardies. I will do
his missions later in the guide.
Finally, the BF Injection that Joey Leone was working on when doing his
missions will appear at Misty's Building in Hepburn Heights in the late
evening hours. Grab and save it at your Staunton Island garage for later
when you open up Shoreside Vale (so you can take it to the Suburban Import
Export Garage).

Although pleased at Salvatore's death, Asuka is unhappy with the Mafia
looking out for Claude. Their lookout posts in Staunton Island are causing
the Yakuza problems and Asuka orders Claude to take down these spies to end
the vendetta. She also introduces Claude to Kenji, her brother, who would
like to meet him later at his casino.....

As mentioned earlier, the dialogue for this cutscene in the Xbox version
has changed. She mentions that the federal agents are doing the
surveillance instead of the Mafia. However, while the spoken dialogue was
changed, the subtitles were not thus making the cutscene a little awkward.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are three lookout posts on Staunton Island and you have six and a
half minutes to destroy them all but this mission isn't very hard.
The first post is on the small island in the lake at Middle Park. Take the
Yakuza Stinger, drive up to the park's wall, and jump on top of the car.
Use the Sniper Rifle to take down the two lookouts there.
The second post is a van sitting not too far from Liberty Tree Offices in
Bedford Point. Go to the east side of the block where they are at, go into
the narrow alley (where there is a Police Bribe), and get behind the van.
Drop a Grenade and run back the way you came. The Grenade will take care of
the van before it can do any harm to you.
The last lookout post is the office building across from Kenji's Casino in
Torrington. There are a total of six spies on the side of the building. Get
up to the top of Kenji's Casino and use the nearby helicopter as cover as
you kill them with the Sniper Rifle.
After you have killed the last Mafia goon then the mission will be
successfully completed.

You need to have a Police Car and rig it with a bomb then take it to the

8-Ball's Bomb Shop (Newport) to rig it with a bomb. Then go back to the
Torrington Police Station. The gate will only open for a Police Vehicle
which is why you need one.
Park the car in the blue circle (note the Police brutality going on inside
the HQ), arm the bomb, get out, and head for the other Police Car parked
nearby. By the time you get inside the Police Car then the bomb will have
exploded and you will get a 3-Star Wanted Rating. Pick up the Yakuza and
drive to the other gate leading into the tunnel.
The tunnel has a Police Bribe so that will definitely help. Hang a left at
the end of the tunnel and, once you get back to the street, then head for
your Safehouse and use the Police Bribes there to get rid of your Wanted
Rating. After you have done that then head over to the Dojo to successfully
complete your mission.

lot at Liberty Tree Offices, a Cheetah in the parking lot of Carson General
Hospital, and a Infernus parked at the parking lot to Liberty Memorial
Coliseum.
In addition, this must be done within six minutes and they have to be
presented in mint condition. The drop-off point is right next door to the
Pay 'N' Spray in Newport. If you smash up the car then you can quickly
repair it before deposit.
The best way to do this is to take your fast car and get the Stinger first
then, after depositing that, then take the Blista in the nearby garage and
go after the Cheetah. After depositing the Cheetah then use the Blista
again and get the Infernus. After depositing the Infernus then the mission
is successfully completed.

However, as you try to collect from the third business.....
"I can't pay you and I wouldn't pay you if I could! Some young gang just
jacked out the place! They took everything! You guys are useless. What
kind of Yakuza are YOU anyway...?"
As it turns out, the Diablos are responsible for this mess and you need to
go to Hepburn Heights to punish them and get the money. They will be
standing by a large planter near where you got the El Burro missions.
According to Stuart Burgess, you can go up to the Hepburn Heights El-Train
Station platform and use the Sniper Rifle to take them down from there.
From this distance they will just stand around as you pick them off and

front and rear of the Firetruck touch the walls.
Get out and use the Grenades on the open window which will flush them out.
Then quickly switch to the AK-47 and kill the two guards by the garage
door.
At this point the getaway car is trying to push through the Firetruck. If
you put the Firetruck straight across then they will be able to push
through before you can destroy them.
By putting the Firetruck in the alley at an angle then they cannot push
through. As they are trying to push through then aim at the car with the

| Notes \
0=======================>
Get a regular vehicle prior to taking the mission. Get some additional ammo
for the AK-47 from the Newport Ammu-Nation.
I had several readers suggest using an Ambulance for this mission.
Reader Jason Cheung had this observation that can be useful in a later
mission:
"The Barracks OL that spawns at the Army Surplus Store during the "Arms
Shortage" mission is actually bulletproof. I find it useful to store
this vehicle at the hideout and use it for the "Marked Man" mission.
Just use it to drive Ray across the Shoreside Lift Bridge. It's better
than using the Rhino because it's faster and you won't raise your wanted
level by using the tank gun boost. It's also mildly funny to see the CIA
gunmen shoot harmlessly at you. You and Ray are fully exposed in the
vehicle and yet, they can't get to you."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
After the mission starts then go to Carson General Hospital to pick up an
Ambulance and go over to Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus in Rockford.
Notice the blue circle. Do *NOT* touch it yet.
Drive past it on the left then turn around, make sure that the Ambulance is
pointed north or northwest, then drive into the blue circle. You will
automatically get out and talk to Phil. It is important to do it this way
for reasons I will explain next. If you get out and walk into the blue
circle then your vehicle will disappear.
Why would you need an Ambulance? Simple.
Because the Columbians are sneaky bastards and you need something to keep
them at bay. After talking to Phil then take your Ambulance and drive
between the nearby Barracks OL and the container crates then turn left and
drive into the wall but stay close to the container crates.
After getting out of the vehicle then you will notice that there are M-16,
Uz-I, and Shotgun Weapon Icons on the ground near Phil. There is also a
Body Armor Icon between the container crates and a Rhino tank (which you
can't enter). In addition, there is also some Molotovs and a Rocket
Launcher on top of the nearby container crates. This is what you bring the
Ambulance for.
This is so you can quickly climb and acquire the Rocket Launcher from the
top of the container crates if you want. If you decide to acquire the
weapon then you may want to drop back down to ground level since the
Columbians have a habit of knocking you off with Shotguns.
A big plus to using the Ambulance this way is that it will help block off
the back pathway that the Columbians will use to try to get to Phil.
If you managed to get the Rocket Launcher then this mission becomes easier
because you can blow up the Cartel Cruisers and then the wall near the main
gate to kill the Columbians in groups. Then blow up the Ambulance to kill
those trying to use the back pathway.
If you can't get the Rocket Launcher then use the AK-47 on those using the
back pathway first then on those trying to go through the main gate.
Any Columbians that manage to get through the main gate Phil will take care
of with his M-16. However, if too many get through at once, then they will
kill Phil and you will get a mission failure.
After killing all of the Columbians, regardless of weapon or method, then
talk to Phil. This will end your mission successfully.

\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
I've had a couple of readers (Nick R., Magnamerik) state to me that you can
actually acquire the Rhino left over at the end of the previous mission. It
is very important to point out that the tank will disappear after the mission
and will not reappear until after the game is completed.
When you examine the tank you find that it is locked and you cannot knock the
door off. So how do you take it?
First off you need to have the Infinite Run feature gained from the Ambulance
Mission. Second, you will also need room in your Staunton Island Safehouse
garage for the Rhino.
What you need to do is get behind the Rhino and push it to your Safehouse.
That's right, push the tank by running behind it (this is why you need to
have the Infinite Run feature). Believe it or not, the tank is not that hard
to push forward. That is, as long as it is on flat ground. Getting it up
hills is going to be the tough part.
From Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus, push the Rhino up to Staunton Loop (North),
and turn it west toward Liberty Memorial Coliseum. When you reach the
three-way intersection then turn the Rhino south and push it all the way to
the three-way intersection at the south end of the road.
Stay in the road and in a single lane as you make your way there. When you
get to the south end of the road then turn the tank east and start pushing it
up the hill. This is the hardest part of the journey.
When the tank stops moving up then you need to zig-zag it up the hill. To
zig-zag you need to get on the back right rear of the tank and push it so the
Rhino angles left a little. Then move over to the left rear of the tank and
push that corner until the Rhino angles right a little. Keep repeating this
pattern and you will slowly get the tank up the hill.
When you get to the signal lights at the top of the hill then turn the Rhino
right and push it toward the entrance of your Safehouse area. After you get
the tank down to the garage area then push it toward the door so you can get
it to open (and stay open). Push the tank into your garage and let the door
close.
When you open the door again then you should hear the low rumblings of your
new Rhino and the tank door will now be unlocked so you can enter and use it.
And all without having to face the soldiers.
Although the hill near the hospital is shorter than the hill near your
Safehouse, it is *NOT* recommended you go that way. When you go up the main
road through the Fort Staunton area then you will be attacked by the
Columbians. During one attempt I had no less than *TEN* Columbians suddenly
spawn around me and shred me in a matter of seconds. Not cool.
If you do not have the patience to do this method then you can still get the
tank the old fashioned way which I will go over later in the Shoreside Vale
section of the guide.

matter and the prosecution has some rather embarrassing photos of him at

you've got it all, leave it in the car and torch it."

0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The evidence is in a Bobcat and traveling around Staunton Island. There are
six evidence packets to collect and you have to hit the Bobcat to get one
of them.
You cannot hit the Bobcat six times to get all of the packets to fall out
then collect them. You have to hit the truck, get the packet, and chase the
truck so you can hit it again and repeat the process.
After hitting it the first time then you will attain a 2-Star Wanted Rating
so now you have to deal with the Cops too.
But, according to Leo, you can go back to your Safehouse and use the Police
Bribes to get rid of the Wanted Rating. In addition, when you hit the
Bobcat again, then you will *NOT* regain the Wanted Rating so the mission
becomes much easier since you no longer have to deal with the Cops.
After you have all six packets then destroy the Firetruck and any manner
you like (except putting it in the water) to successfully complete the
mission.
However, according to Peter Korsten, if you managed to acquire the Rhino at
the end of "Arms Shortage", then you can use that vehicle instead. The
target vehicle is going as fast as the tank so you can't really catch up
unless you use the Tank Gun Boost. Ram the target vehicle and destroy it to
successfully complete the mission.

After the cutscene ends then grab the Cartel Cruiser from your garage and
head down to the gated area in Aspatria (where you acquired Package
[APT-H38]). But don't go in yet. Get out and switch to your Sniper Rifle.
You will see six Columbians on patrol and you can see four of them through
the gate. Snipe them through the gate then get back into your Cruiser and
drive it into the compound a short distance. Then get back out and snipe
the remaining two Columbians.
The Old Oriental Gentleman is randomly generated in the four closed garages
and there is a Columbian in each one, armed with an AK-47, that you have to
kill.
Reader Peter Wilmont came up with a safe way to dispose of the Columbians
when you open the garages. Take the Cartel Cruiser and park it close,
lengthwise, and with the passenger side to the garage door. Get out then
get the door to open. After the door starts to open then quickly run back
to the driver side of the Cartel Cruiser.
What will happen is that the Cartel Cruiser will act as a kind of shield.
With you on the opposite side of the Cruiser the Columbian will stand in
place and will *NOT* try to shoot at you. However, you can snipe him easily
over the back end of the Cruiser.
Do this at each garage until you find the one with the Old Oriental
Gentleman. After you rescue the Old Oriental Gentleman then get into your
Cruiser, wait for the old man to follow and drive back to Love Media to
successfully complete the mission.

Donald gives Claude his next mission when he arrives at Love Media:
"Nothing drives down real estate prices like a good old fashioned gang
war, apart from an outbreak of plague......but that might be going too
far in this case. I noticed that the Yakuzas and the Columbians are far
from friends.
Let's capitalize on this business opportunity. I want you to kill the
Yakuza Waka-gashira, Kenji Kasen. Kenji is attending a meeting at the
top of the Multistory Car-Park in Newport. Get a Cartel gangcar and
eliminate him! The Yakuza must blame the Cartel for this declaration of
war."
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Use the Cartel Cruiser from the last mission.
This is one of the biggest lessons that Donald learned from Avery
Carrington when Tommy Vercetti did during the mission "Two Bit Hit" in Vice
City.....
"Now, nothing brings down real estate prices quicker than a good
old-fashioned gang war 'cept maybe a disaster, like a biblical plague or
something, but, that may be going too far in this case. You getting this
down, you four-eyed prick?"
I had two readers, Emilio Rivera and Reine Larsson, suggest a faster and
more direct method than what I was using before.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Head back to your Safehouse and take the Cartel Cruiser from your garage.
Drive into the Multistory Car-Park and go up the ramps on the *NORTH* side
of the car-park. When you get near the top of the car-park then you will
see a cutscene with Kenji and several guards. You will notice that one of
them, near the center, has a powerful M-16.
After the cutscene ends then take the ramp to the top level, turn south,
speed up, angle southeast towards the east side of this level, and to the
gap between the wall and one of the Yakuza Stingers. After you get through
this gap then you should be able to run over Kenji easily.
After killing Kenji then go past the next Yakuza Stinger and angle
southwest and towards Unique Stunt Jump [NPT-J9]. If you are fast enough in
killing Kenji then the guard with the M-16 won't be able to do much damage.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-10">
At this point you will get a 3-Star Wanted Rating. Hit the Jump and land on
the street below. Don't worry if you manage to destroy the Cartel Cruiser
when you land. As long as you get out of it alive then you will be alright.
What you need to do is dump the vehicle and get out of Newport. If you
destroyed the Cartel Cruiser upon landing then run west toward Belleville
Park. If the Cartel Cruiser survived the landing then drive it into
Belleville Park.
After you get into Belleville Park then the mission is successfully
completed upon either running into the area or drive into it and get out of
the vehicle.

Donald wants Claude to get a boat and retrieve some packages being dropped
by plane near the Callahan Bridge.....
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Get a fast car and store it in your garage prior to this mission.
John Nowakowski had this to add about this mission:
"Start the mission with an empty hand so you can run the fastest. You
won't need weapons. After you get the packages go to the Northernmost
dock, which should be the nearest, and the one closest to where you pick
up the missions from Asuka. When you exit the boat, the helicopter will
be shouting and shooting, but you shouldn't be hit very much, if at all,
if you run up the stairs. There, you should be able to hop into the
Yakuza Stinger without any interference. Once in the Stinger, don't go
left through the opening, just jump the curb heading west. At this
point, an FBI (unmarked) car will be speeding towards you and try to ram
you. Try to avoid it, but even if you can't you should be able to
recover quickly. Depending on how long it takes, there might be a second
FBI car zooming towards you, but you should be able to hang that first
right into the Pay N' Spray alley before it gets to you."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have two minutes to get into position. Drive as fast as you can to The
Condos, go down to the piers, and get a Speeder. Get to the blip and follow
the plane.
When the clock reaches zero then the plane will start dropping packages
into the water. The plane will drop a total of six packages. For each
package you collect, your Wanted Rating will increase by one star until you
reach the current maximum of 5-Stars. When you get the last package then
get to one of the piers and get out.
This is also an excellent opportunity to acquire an FBI Car for the
Emergency Vehicle Crane. Get a Yakuza Stinger, drive underneath the Newport
Bridge and get out. This will help shield you from the helicopter.
When a FBI Car shows up, wait for it to stop and, as the occupants exit the
car, then run away as fast as you can (because they pack some serious heat)
using the pillars as cover and turn around and go back.
The car should still be there but the FBI agents are now gone. Get the FBI
Car and go to the nearby Pay 'N' Spray to get rid of the Wanted Ratings.
The FBI Car is the only Police Vehicle you can use with a Pay 'N' Spray.
Take the FBI Car to the Emergency Vehicle Crane at Portland Island and then
get another car and go back to Love Media to successfully complete the
mission.
Of course, if you're not interested in acquiring an FBI Car at this point
in time, then, as Mike Wilson suggested and after acquiring the sixth
package, park the boat at the piers at The Condos.
Then go up and grab a vehicle and quickly head to the Pay 'N' Spray nearby
to get rid of the Wanted Ratings. After that then you can now go back to
Love Media uncontested to successfully complete the mission.

| Reward \
0=======================>
$10,000.
In addition, if you own the PS4 Version, then you should also acquire the
{Offshore Delivery} Trophy.

Later, a news report will flash on the radio. The broken Shoreside Lift
Bridge has been fixed and now you can go by car to Shoreside Vale. Go back
to your garage and get the BF Injection and go to the Suburban Import
Export Garage.
If you weren't able to get Package [SHL-H75] prior to this mission (if you
went to the other side early) then this is the chance to get it. Take the
BF Injection and drive onto the drawbridge.
Climb onto the dune buggy and then onto the median. When the drawbridge
rises then acquire the Package to take one step closer to finishing
collecting the Hidden Packages.
As you enter Shoreside Vale then you will receive a message on your pager
telling you to go to the phone in Wichita Gardens. This opens up D-Ice's
set of missions but I will do those later.
After depositing the BF Injection at the Suburban Import Export Garage in
Pike Creek, if you haven't done so during Early Exploration, then go and
acquire the Dodo at Francis International Airport and drive it back to
Portland Island and to the Industrial Import Export Garage.
With the Shoreside Lift Bridge fixed and the Porter Tunnel completed it is
time to go over.....

Shoreside Vale is the main residential area of Liberty City. Cedar Grove is
home to some of the most expensive houses in the city yet, just to the south
in Wichita Gardens, are rundown apartment complexes where the majority of the
lower classes live.
Cochrane Dam provides hydroelectric power to Liberty City and nearby regions.
Additional businesses can be found in Pike Creek. The major transportation
hub, Francis International Airport, is to the south.

Now, that we're here, let's have a tour of this area of Liberty City starting
with the:
>>Shoreside Vale Safehouse
************************
Location: (West) Wichita Gardens, indicated by a house on your radar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you can find your Weapon, Health, Adrenaline,
Police Bribe Icons, store at least two vehicles, and save your
game.
Just across the street south of the Safehouse is the:
>>Gardens Shortcut
****************
Location: (West) Wichita Gardens.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a very large gap between the guardrails and will lead to
a gently sloping grassy hillside. Going from the Safehouse and
through the shortcut will take you to the main road leading to
the Porter Tunnel and Cochrane Dam. A real time saver.
Now go the three-way intersection just southeast of the Safehouse then turn
left and proceed north on:
>>Cedar Road
**********
Location: Starts at the three-way intersection near the Shoreside Vale
Safehouse in Wichita Gardens and goes north, winding through
two hairpin curves and up to a three-way intersection where
it ends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This also has a parking lot near the west hairpin curve leading
up.
Stop at the three-way intersection at the end of Cedar Road. And on the
north side of this intersection is:
>>The Homes
*********
Location: Cedar Grove.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: A group of seven large expensive homes including a mansion.
From this intersection, turn right and to the road curve going north where
you will find:
>>The Mansion
***********
Location: Cedar Grove.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The largest residence of The Homes which is rumored to be owned
by a high ranking member of the Colombian Cartel.
This is why there are Columbians running around the neighborhood shooting at
you so you need to be more careful around here. From this road curve, head
north and at the next three-way intersection you will find the east entrance
to the:
>>Upstate Tunnel
**************
Location: (North) Cedar Grove.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This road tunnel, which has east and west entrances, leads
upstate to Carcer City and beyond. The whole tunnel is currently
closed because of major repairs due to a cave-in caused by
shoddy maintenance.
From this intersection, turn left and go west along the road that runs along
the north side of The Homes area and stop at the next three-way intersection.
At the southeast corner there should be a hedge.
And beyond that is:
>>Toni's House
************
Location: Cedar Grove.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This large lavender house at the west end of The Homes is
another residence owned by Toni Cipriani. It is unclear if he
still uses it but it is rumored he hides some of his most
powerful weapons here (probably to keep them out of his mother's
hands).
From this three-way intersection, turn left and follow the road curve going
west then stop just before you get to the next hairpin curve. To the north
you should see the entrance to the:
>>Cochrane Dam
************
Notes: This dam is a major landmark for Liberty City and which provides
electric power to the entire region. From the entrance you can
go down a road that leads to the base where there is a large
storage area for container crates and stairs that lead to the
top of the Cochrane Dam Power House.
From the entrance to Cochrane Dam, turn around and go back north around the
road curve then through the three-way intersection near Toni's House. Then go
forward and turn left at the three-way intersection near the west entrance to
the Upstate Tunnel. As you proceed forward then you will also be going along
the top of Cochrane Dam.
After crossing Cochrane Dam then stop at the three-way intersection where the
dirt road you are on meets the road curve. Just inside the road curve ahead
of you is:
>>The Undercover Storage Company
******************************
Location: (South) Cochrane Dam.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This company is a place where a business can store lots of items
to help save space at their respective facilities.
From here, turn left and head down the hill then stop at the next road curve
going south. Just inside the road curve you will find:
>>The Fudge Packing Corp.
***********************
Location: (Northeast) Pike Creek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: After Boners Pet Foods was driven out of business by Bitch'N'
Dog Foods then this company took over their spot. One of their
buildings is the Suburban Import Export Garage and it is the
third car collection mission that you will be doing during the
course of the game.
From here, follow the road curve to the next four-way intersection then go
right and follow the road curve south then stop at the next four-way
intersection. At the southeast corner of this intersection is the:
>>Pike Creek Pay 'N' Spray
************************
Location: Pike Creek, on the next block south of Boners Pet Foods.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you can have your vehicle repaired or re-sprayed
to get rid of Wanted Ratings.
And, in the same complex, you will also find the:
>>8-Ball's Bomb Shop (Pike Creek)
*******************************
Location: Pike Creek, on the next block south of Boners Pet Foods.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you can fit your vehicle with a bomb and leave a
nasty surprise for someone.
From here, turn right and go forward to the next three-way intersection then
turn left and stop at the next three-way intersection. At the northeast
corner is the:
>>Pike Creek Police Station
*************************
Location: Pike Creek, southwest of the Pike Creek Pay 'N' Spray.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you will be if you end up getting Busted while on
Shoreside Vale. You can also find Health and Body Armor Icons as
well as purchase Molotovs and Flamethrowers from the garages out
back.
And at the southeast corner of the same intersection:
>>Hope Medical College
********************
Location: (Southwest) Pike Creek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is where you will be if you end up getting Wasted while on
Shoreside Vale.
From here, turn left and head forward to the next four-way intersection then
stop. At the northeast corner of this intersection is:
>>Liberty Pharmaceuticals (Shoreside Vale)
****************************************
Location: (Central) Pike Creek, on the next block east of Pike Creek
Police Station.

purple garage doors and an overhang which is:
>>Burke Supply Company (Shoreside Vale)
*************************************

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: One of two buildings for a large business that is based out of
Liberty City. It merged with Scopers Haulage last year and
changed the name to reflect the business move.
From this intersection, turn left and go forward through the next four-way
intersection then stop at the next three-way intersection. At the south side
of this intersection is:
>>The Turtle Head Fishing Co. (Shoreside Vale)
********************************************
Location: (South) Pike Creek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: After the Klunt company went bankrupt then this building was
taken over by Turtle Head to expand their operations. Has a set
of stairs to access the roof.
If you go north from here then it will take you to a road loop at the base of
Cochrane Dam where you will find the:
>>Cochrane Dam Power House
************************
Location: Cochrane Dam, at the south part of the Dam base.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This helps supply power to all of Liberty City and nearby
regions.
However, from this three-way intersection, go east, follow the road curve
going south then follow the road curve going west and stop at the next
four-way intersection. At the northwest corner you will find:
>>Punk Noodles
************
Location: (South) Pike Creek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: After The Flophouse was forced to close in 1999 then this
company moved in to take over the building.
From here, turn left and follow the road to the next three-way intersection
then stop. To the west is Francis International Airport. Now turn left onto
the road and to the nearby road curve where you should see a large Sumo sign.
Next to it is a road that leads west towards the Airport grounds. Proceed
west towards the grounds and you should see a gate to your right which is

Continue west and onto the Airport grounds. As you follow the road then you
should see the west side of the main building:
>>West Airport Entrance
*********************

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is a secondary entrance for the airport building. This is
used by passengers of private planes.
And nearby you should see a bunch of planes:
>>Plane Parking Area
******************
Location: (West) Francis International Airport, just west of the West
Airport Entrance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: This is the only entrance for the Liberty City Subway System for
Shoreside Vale.
From the road loop, head back north and to the three-way intersection then
turn right and enter the Porter Tunnel (which should be to the right of the
ramp leading up to the Shoreside Lift Bridge). Turn left at the three-way
intersection inside the tunnel and follow the road to the tunnel exit in
Wichita Gardens then stop. And this end of the tunnel is:
>>Porter Tunnel (West)
********************
Location: (West) Wichita Gardens.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

| >SSV4. Rampages (Shoreside Vale) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed below are the remaining seven Rampages for Shoreside Vale and the
strategies for each location:
0=========================================0
| [R14] - Fry 20 Columbians (Flamethrower) \
0===========================================================================>
[CDG-R14-A] - Location: Behind the car garage of a light orchid house at The
Homes.
Neighborhood: Cedar Grove.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the three-way intersection where Cedar Road
ends at The Homes. At the north side of this
intersection is a large gray house.
From this intersection, turn right. Once past the
hedge for the gray house then jump the short
concrete wall and head northeast to the light
orchid house. The Rampage can be found behind the
car garage at the east side of the house.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: PS2 Version
***********
Use a Cartel Cruiser and drive to it. After activating
it then quickly drive over to The Mansion. Go inside
the gate and drive to the southwest corner, get out,
and walk right up against the fence. You can shoot
flames through the fences and walls so the fence will
protect you from the Columbians.
Start by sweeping left for a couple of seconds and
then sweep right for a couple of seconds and repeat
the pattern until the Rampage is completed. This
tactic gave me a more consistent success rate.
I tried going behind the fences to the houses next
door to the Rampage Icon but I found that the game
did not generate as many targets for me to get rid of
and I would always fail. I found that by going to The
Mansion, the game would generate more targets.
Plus they don't know I'm there even as I roast them.
Xbox Version
************
The above tactic doesn't work in the Xbox version
because it never seems to generate enough Columbians
near The Mansion for it to be successful.
For the Xbox Version, just walk to the sidewalk but
hang just behind the short wall near the large hedge.
You will receive some damage from the Columbians but
the game will generate enough for you to successfully
complete the Rampage.
And they will run up to you making it easy to flame
them.
Reader Chris Sheets had this interesting trick to add
concerning this Rampage:
"On the fry 20 Columbians Rampage if you do the
rampage with a cop chasing you on foot the Columbians
will not shoot and you can just run up and fry them.
You just have to outrun the cop which is easy."
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[PKC-R14-B] - Location: Behind the wall in front of The Fudge Packing Corp.
Neighborhood: Pike Creek.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Activate it and go to the northeast corner where the
road bends and stand behind the wall. Sweep left and
right to nail your targets. If you need to get more
targets then move from behind the wall and lure some
Columbians to your position then duck behind the wall
again. Not too hard.
0===============================0
| [R15] - Behead 20 Hoods (M-16) \
0===========================================================================>
[WCG-R15-A] - Location: Behind the Squid billboard near the northeast corner
of The Projects.
Neighborhood: Wichita Gardens.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: From the three-way intersection just southeast of
the Shoreside Vale Safehouse, head east down the
bridge and stop at the next three-way intersection.
From here, turn left then stop at the next
three-way intersection. At the east side of this
intersection should be the road that leads to the
Staunton View Picnic Area.
At the north side of the intersection, up high on
an embankment, is a large Squid billboard. The
Rampage can be found behind this billboard.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Use a car to drive up to it. When you activate it then
get back into the car, drive off, and back onto the
street.
Go into the nearby parking lot and turn right then cut
across the small grassy area and grab the Adrenaline
Icon. After that then walk about halfway to the street
and start shooting at the Hoods. Their shirt color, red
or purple, makes no difference.
Remember, only headshots count for kills. But, with you
on an adrenaline high (everything slows down - including
the timer), this shouldn't be too hard. Aim at their
heads and take very short controlled bursts.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[CDG-R15-B] - Location: Behind the Gasoline billboard at the west hairpin
turn on Cedar Road.
Neighborhood: Cedar Grove.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Activate it, go between the signs, go to the railing
and start shooting. For some reason, the Hoods don't
know you are there even as you take them down so they
don't shoot at you. This makes this Rampage easier. Even
better, some of the Hoods will walk directly in front of
you making for easy point blank shots.
0====================================0
| [R16] - Splatter 20 Hoods (Shotgun) \
0===========================================================================>
[WCG-R16-A] - Location: On top of one of the car garages by the northeast
apartment building for The Projects (jump from the
main bridge to reach).
Neighborhood: Wichita Gardens.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Activate it and jump back down to ground level. Get into
the Kuruma that is parked nearby and quickly drive east
and to the main road.
Get on the east side of the road and get out of the car.
Go south and shoot the Hoods as they appear. If you try
to do the Rampage near where you got it then you may be
swarmed by lots of Hoods.
They generate on both sides of the narrow side road and
all the Hoods from both sides of the road will quickly
converge on your position and they will take off your
armor and health quickly.
The main road to the east is much wider so you can work
on one side of the road and usually not attract the
attention of the Hoods on the other side. This will make
things more manageable.
Any Hoods that shoot at you will be the ones far away
from you and they will be running toward you.
But, since they are far from you, then they can't really
hurt you because their guns (Pistol, Uz-I) are not good
from long range and you can knock them down before they
can do any damage.

[FIA-R16-B] - Location: Behind the Sumo sign near the west end of the
Shoreside Lift Bridge.
Neighborhood: Francis International Airport.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the four-way intersection at the southeast
corner of Punk Noodles. From here, go south and
follow the road then stop at the next three-way
intersection.
To the west is Francis International Airport. At
the east side of this intersection is a large Sumo
sign. The Rampage can be found behind this sign.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Go up the main road and shoot the Hoods as they
generate. The wide main road will allow you to work on
one side of the road without attracting the attention of
the Hoods across the street.
They will usually generate in groups and the powerful
Shotgun will make quick work of all the Hoods you
target. A pretty easy Rampage.
0============================================0
| [R17] - Behead 15 Columbians (Sniper Rifle) \
0===========================================================================>
[PKC-R17-A] - Location: Behind the white crate in an alley southeast of The
Undercover Storage Company.
Neighborhood: Pike Creek.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the road curve entrance for The Undercover
Storage Company. Go past the Police Bribe then turn
southeast at the corner of the building.
Continue southeast until you get to the wall then
go south into a narrow alley. At the end of this
alley is a ramp. The Rampage can be found behind a
crate just before this ramp.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get a car and drive to it. Activate it, get back into
your car, drive up the ramp, and fall down to the street
below. It's a long way down and hopefully you will be
able to land on your wheels. If you do, and maintain
control, then quickly make your way to the Burke Supply
Co. just two blocks south of your position.
Get to the corner edge of the building and get out. Aim
south at the street, and over the short wall, to claim
your targets.
The wall will keep the Columbians from getting any
closer but will allow you to make headshots. Many of
them will cluster in one place trying to get to you but
instead will allow you to get a lot of targets quickly.
The Columbians will take off some armor but, if you are
good with your aim, then this Rampage shouldn't be too
bad.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[PKC-R17-B] - Location: On the roof of the numbered garages behind the Pike
Creek Police Station.
Neighborhood: Pike Creek.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Same strategy as before except that you want to place a
car just before the small ramp below where the Rampage
is. Run back up to the Rampage, activate it, jump down,
get into your vehicle, drive up the ramp, and jump into
the street. Then go the Burke Supply Co. (Shoreside
Vale) and take down the Columbians.
0==============================================0
| [R18] - Destroy 15 Vehicles (Rocket Launcher) \
0===========================================================================>
[PKC-R18-A] - Location: On top of the Turtle Head Fishing Co. (Shoreside
Vale) near the top of the stairs.
Neighborhood: Pike Creek.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Just stay on top of the roof and shoot the cars from
your position. Also try to kill the pedestrians to
attract Police cars. If you get a 3-Star Wanted Rating
then the Police Helicopter also counts as a vehicle.
The only issue is if the game will generate enough
targets for you to destroy within the two minutes. You
may be able to get around that by moving west along the
edge of the roof and make more vehicles come to you.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[FIA-R18-B] - Location: Behind the "Badfellas" billboard.
Neighborhood: Francis International Airport.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the four-way intersection at the southeast
corner of Punk Noodles. From here, go south and
stop at the nearby road curve. On the outside part
of the curve you should see the large "Badfellas"
billboard. The Rampage can be found behind this
billboard.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get a vehicle and drive to it. Position your car so that
you can see the Airport Parking lot. Get out, activate
the Rampage, and get back in again. Drive toward the
Airport Parking lot but at the same time go east.
Get out when you get to a point where you can see the
entire parking lot. There are about nine cars in the lot
and you can destroy them quickly. Walk away from your
car and destroy it. Now you only have five cars left to
destroy.
From here, walk up to the main road. However, there are
pedestrians around and you will usually kill some when
you destroy cars. Some of them may attack you as you try
to complete your objectives. Just focus on the cars and
you should be okay.
0===============================================0
| [R19] - Drive-by and Destroy 7 Vehicles (Uz-I) \
0===========================================================================>
[PKC-R19-A] - Location: Near the guard gate for Punk Noodles.
Neighborhood: Pike Creek.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get a fast sports car, like a Banshee, and drive to it.
Activate it and then drive as fast as you can to the
Airport Parking lot. There you have plenty of cars you
can quickly drive-by and destroy without any problems
whatsoever. You can also destroy the nearby Firetruck if
you need to.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[CCD-R19-B] - Location: Behind the large rock on the left side of the road
loop near the Cochrane Dam Power House.
Neighborhood: Cochrane Dam.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Same as before but you will have less time to work with
because you will have to drive a longer distance to get
to the Airport Parking lot, However, you should still be
able to destroy the necessary number of cars within the
time limit.
0=============================================0
| [R20] - Splatter 20 Columbians (Any Vehicle) \
0===========================================================================>
[FIA-R20-A] - Location: Behind the Fat Burger Kid billboard directly across
the street from the East Airport Entrance to Francis
International Airport (and just north of the Francis
International Airport Subway Entrance).
Neighborhood: Francis International Airport.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get the Firetruck from the Francis International
Airport Fire Station and drive to it. Activate it and
use the Firetruck to run over the Columbians.
The Firetruck should withstand their gunfire long enough
to survive the Rampage. When you start the Rampage then
drive under the main bridge and go back to the main road
and enter near the Sumo sign.
The reason for this is that the road on front of the
Airport terminal entrance is narrow and the Columbians
will shoot you from the other side of the road seriously
damaging your vehicle.
By going to the main road instead then you will only
have to deal with the ones in front of you limiting
their damage potential. Drive up the main road and kill
the necessary Columbians to succeed.
If you have the Bulletproof Patriot earned from the
mission "Marked Man" then this Rampage becomes easier
because they cannot damage the vehicle with gunfire.
Thanks to Christopher Mora for that suggestion.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
[PKC-R20-B] - Location: In the grassy area across the street and south of the
Burke Supply Co.
Neighborhood: Pike Creek.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Directions: Go to the three-way intersection northwest of Hope
Medical College then head south. Follow the road
curve going east and go down the incline.
As you continue forward then you should see the
south entrance for the Burke Supply Company to your
left. When you get to the south entrance then stop
and turn south onto the grass to find the Rampage.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The only difference here is that you drive down the main
road toward the Airport. Otherwise the same strategy
applies.
If you have the Bulletproof Patriot earned from the
mission "Marked Man" then this Rampage becomes easier
because they cannot damage the vehicle with gunfire.
Thanks to Christopher Mora for that suggestion.
After successful completion of the last Rampage then you will earn your
million dollar bonus and take one more step toward 100% Completion.

[FIA-J17] - A metal ramp
************
Location: By one of the Rockstar planes in the Plane Parking
Area (northeast of the Police Bribe).
Heading: East to West.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: At the West Airport Entrance find the door that has the
"Terminal A" sign on it. Just to the north of it there
should be a metal ramp. Go to the ramp and look west.
You should see a large plane ahead of you. There is also
a metal ramp near the front of the plane. This is the
ramp you use for the Jump.
[FIA-J18] - A concrete ramp
***************
Location: South of the north McAdams Airways hangar west of the
Plane Parking Area.
Heading: South to North.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The hangar you must jump over is directly west of Jump
[FIA-J17]. You can't touch the hangar so you will need
to go to the runway to get enough speed to clear the
building.
[FIA-J19] - A concrete ramp
***************
Location: South of the Plane Parking Area and at the west end
of the Secondary Runway.
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: From Jump [FIA-J17], head directly south. You should run
into a group of helicopters. Next to these helicopters
is a hangar. You have to jump the hangar using the ramps
at the west side of it.
You can't touch the hangar with the car so you will need
some distance to make the Jump. You can hit the
helicopters at the end and still succeed.
[FIA-J20] - A concrete ramp
***************
Location: East of Jump [FIA-J19].
Heading: West to East.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Get on the runway and start by the concrete ramps for
Jump [FIA-J19]. Then line yourself with the ramps for
Jump [FIA-J20] to clear the hangar.
After completion of the last Jump then you will get your million dollar bonus
and take another step toward 100% Completion.

| >SSV6. Suburban Import Export Garage |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
At The Fudge Packing Corp., there is a building that has a car list on it.
This is the Suburban Import Export Garage. This is just like the Industrial
one on Portland Island but has a different list of cars.
There are sixteen vehicles listed that you need to collect. For each vehicle
you obtain you will get $1,000. If you acquire all sixteen vehicles listed
then you will get a $200,000 bonus plus you can have unlimited use of the
cars you have collected.
Just walk into the garage and pick one of the vehicle icons. You will then be
instructed to exit the garage and, in a few seconds, your new car will be
made available to you.
Below is the vehicle list and where to find them. These are some of the more
reliable locations and missions to find the vehicles. "Generated at random"
means that you have to wait for them to spawn on their own before you can
acquire them:

It was in front of the building here that I pulled off an unusual feat that
can be best called a "double jacking".
After depositing a car in the garage then I jacked a van so I could go back
to the Airport to get another car. After about thirty feet, I heard "get out"
and the van stopped as Claude climbed out of the van. What I didn't see,
while I was pulling out the first driver, was a thug entering the van from
the passenger side as I was taking it. So now I was being jacked about thirty
feet from where I just got the van.
However, Claude was on his feet and not stepping away from the van when he
exited. So, as the thug moved into the driver seat, I pressed Enter Vehicle
to re-jack the van and remove the thug that tried to take it. Served him
right.
And it was here that reader Lee Cochran also had something funny happen to
him:
"I pulled up with the Infernus at the Fudge Packing Import/Export and as I
waited for the door to open, someone jacked me. The guy through me out of
the car and sped off...into the open garage. "Delivered like a pro"
flashed on the screen and I was off to boost. See, street thugs can be
helpful too, like stealing your car and putting it in the garage for you."

| >SSV7. Acquiring the Rhino (The Not-So-Safe Method) |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Now, that you've opened up Shoreside Vale, your Wanted Ratings can go up to
the maximum of 6-Stars. This means that you can try to get the Rhino by
getting a 6-Star Wanted Rating, and taking it from the soldiers, so you can
complete the Emergency Vehicle Crane list (assuming that you didn't acquire
the tank after completion of the mission "Arms Shortage").
As outlined earlier, the soldiers that come after you are very tough to deal
with so getting the Rhino during a 6-Star rampage can be difficult. But this
task can be made easier by doing your rampage in the right place. And that
place would be at the Wichita Gardens Safehouse. Or, more specifically, the
garage there.
For best results, have no cars in the garage. Make sure that you have lots of
ammo specifically for the Flamethrower and the Rocket Launcher (go back to
Portland Island and do the stock up trick to get lots of ammo for it).
Go into the street and start flaming people until you have a 3-Star Wanted
Rating, and when the helicopter shows up, rocket it out of the sky. Head back
to your garage and enter the left side (the side closest to the street).
Remember, you can use the Flamethrower through the wall so you can get
people on the other side easily. Usually, there are some Cops on the other
side so you can get it up to 5-Star quickly. Switch to your Rocket Launcher
and go into Target mode.
You may notice that the Cop and FBI cars are just driving around without
going after you. Because you are in the garage the Cops behave differently.
If they are on foot then they will still go after you but, if they remain in
their cars, then they will ignore you. You can shoot the cars easily from
your position and jack your Wanted Rating to 6-Star. You can also creep
forward and rocket the helicopters.
Now the Army will spawn Rhinos and Barracks OL's behind the garage area and
may get stuck on the lamppost on the other side of the garage wall. This is
what you want. If they make their way to the garage entrance then it will get
difficult. The trick here is to get them to come out of the tank.
Switch to your Uz-I. Creep forward and, when you reach near the edge of the
open garage door overhead, then they will usually come out. Quickly run back
into the garage and switch to your Flamethrower. Flame through the wall for a
few seconds to set the soldiers on the other side on fire.
Remember, flame weapons are the only things in your arsenal that can destroy
the Rhino so you want to set the soldiers on fire but not risk destroying the
tank you are trying to get. After killing the soldiers then switch to your
Uz-I, quickly run out of the garage, and grab the Police Bribes on the
opposite end. Then get the now abandoned Rhino.
After acquiring the Rhino then drive it to the Crane to deposit it. After
completing the list and getting your bonus then get the Rhino Icon. Then
drive it back to your Staunton Island hideout and save it. There are some
missions in which the tank may come in handy.
If you were diligent in getting all the cars for all of the car lists then
you should now have completed all of the car lists in the game.
Even though I've simplified the process of getting the tank it may take a
couple of tries to get it. Surviving a 6-Star Wanted Rating without the use
of cheats can always be difficult no matter where you are.

| >SSV8. Gripped! |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
In the parking lot for the Staunton View Picnic Area is a Patriot. When you
enter the Patriot then you begin the Patriot vehicle checkpoint side-mission
"Gripped!". Here you have to collect twenty Checkpoints and you have five
minutes to collect them all.
However, when you get the first Checkpoint, then you have fifteen seconds to
collect the second one. Fortunately, the faster you can get the Checkpoints,
the more time you can accumulate. The timer will start when you get the first
Checkpoint.
This is probably the hardest of all of the vehicle checkpoint side-missions
in the game. This is mainly because of all of the climbing uphill and trying
to control the Patriot while going downhill. This vehicle checkpoint
side-mission is harder in the Xbox version because the trees and foliage are
made larger and more lush making it very hard to see what you are doing.
Go left and get Checkpoint [#1]. Checkpoint [#2] is on a small hill and, if
you try to get it head-on, then you will most likely flip the Patriot. Go to
the left of the Checkpoint and turn right to get it. Behind Checkpoint [#2]
and partway up the rocky part of the hill is Checkpoint [#3]. Then turn
slightly right and you will see two more Checkpoints [#4, #5].
Checkpoint [#4] is on the left and should be acquired first. After acquiring
Checkpoint [#4] then back up very slightly and get Checkpoint [#5]. When you
finally reach the top of the hill then you will see two Checkpoints, one to
the right and one to the left. Get the one to the right first (Checkpoint
[#6]). Be careful, the trees will obscure your vision a bit.
After acquiring Checkpoint [#6] then back up and then whip the Patriot 180
degrees so you can get Checkpoint [#7]. Be careful when you go from the grass
to the rock otherwise you may flip the Patriot off the hill and back into
Wichita Gardens. After acquiring Checkpoint [#7] then turn right and go into
the street.
Turn right and follow the street toward Checkpoint [#8] which is right by the
edge. Go up the street and go between the last tree near the Upstate Tunnel
and the lightpost to get up the hill and claim Checkpoint [#9].
The next three Checkpoints [#10, #11, #12] are relatively easy and you can
get them quickly to accumulate a lot of time. After acquiring Checkpoint
[#12] then turn left and brake slightly going down and then climb up to get
Checkpoint [#13].
Getting Checkpoint [#14] is a bit tricky. From Checkpoint [#13], head right
and make sure that Checkpoint [#14] is off to your left. You will see that
Checkpoint [#14] is partway down the steep hillside.
Turn your Patriot right and position your vehicle so that Checkpoint [#14] is
behind you. Then tap Reverse once and let gravity pull you to Checkpoint
[#14] and tap Accelerate when necessary to keep control. After acquiring
Checkpoint [#14] then hold Accelerate and go straight up to get Checkpoint
[#15]. Then turn left and go back down to get Checkpoint [#16].
</pre><pre id="faqspan-12">
After acquiring Checkpoint [#16] then turn right and you will have to go
practically straight up this pointed hill to get Checkpoint [#17]. Getting
from Checkpoint [#17] to Checkpoint [#18] is dangerous because of the steep
hills so you will have to use Handbrake and Reverse together to keep control.
After acquiring Checkpoint [#18] then turn right and go get Checkpoint [#19].
Checkpoint [#19] is pretty easy to get and after that is Checkpoint [#20].
Checkpoint [#20] is sitting on the top of the west entrance to the Upstate
Tunnel on the right side and out of view. You can see the left side
of the the tunnel top and line yourself properly with it. If you don't then
you may fall into the street instead and miss the Checkpoint.
Then go down and acquire Checkpoint [#20] to successfully complete the
mission and get $40,000 as a reward as well as another step towards 100%
Completion.
If you own the PS4 Version then you should also get the {Where We're Going,
We Don't Need Roads} Trophy for completing this mission along with the other
off-road Checkpoint missions.

Don't forget to do the Firetruck and Vigilante Missions for Shoreside Vale.
As before, only the first twenty kills in the Vigilante Mission count toward
additional Police Bribes and the first twenty fires put out during the
Firetruck Mission count toward getting the Flamethrower Weapon Icon for all
of your Safehouses.
A Firetruck can be found at the Francis International Airport Fire Station
and a Police Car can be found at the Pike Creek Police Station. After getting
the necessary requirements in both side-missions then you should now have six
Police Bribes plus the Flamethrower Weapon Icon at all Safehouses. You will
also take two more steps toward 100% Completion.

another Toyz Van. Entering it will trigger the last Toyz Van Mission "Rumpo
Rampage".
Just like in the Van Missions "Diablo Destruction", "Mafia Massacre", and
"Casino Calamity", you have to use remote controlled cars to destroy gang
vehicles. In this mission, you have to destroy as many Rumpo XL's as you can
in two minutes.
If you own the PS4 Version then you should also get the {Man Toyz} Trophy for
completing this one as well as the other Van Missions.

Ray suspects his current partner of ratting him out so he instructs Claude
to get a Police Boat and kill him while he is fishing near Portland
Rock.....

Sniper Rifle.
0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Get about 30-50 rounds for the Sniper Rifle.
I had a reader, Jesse Huongvilay, make a very interesting suggestion about
this mission. He didn't use the Predator but instead blew up Ray's partner
from land using a Rocket Launcher. I gave this a try and refined this idea
further.
Instead of using the Rocket Launcher I used the Sniper Rifle for better
accuracy and less ammo wasted even though it takes a few more shots to
destroy the boat.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When the mission begins then go to either the pier area near Asuka's condo
or at the slip south of the Callahan Bridge to get into the Predator.
However, once at the controls of the boat and the game prompts you to go
after Ray's partner, then get out and back into your car.
Drive over to the SupaSave! Store and go into the alley between the parking
lot and Portland Docks. Then hang a right when you get to the grass and
head to the beach.
When you get close to the water, and near your target's position, then get
out and switch to your Sniper Rifle. Fire once at the boat to start the
cutscene. After the cutscene ends then you will notice that you have
damaged his boat a bit.
He will also start to drive around. He will loop around the large ship, the
nearby rocks, and the Lighthouse. He won't try to leave the area unless you
chase him with the Predator.
Keep shooting at his boat with the Sniper Rifle. If you damage his boat
enough then he will drop some barrels and make a run for the beach. You can
destroy the boat before he reaches shore by hitting it with a couple of
more shots.
However, if he beaches his boat, then he will jump out. If you are close to
the boat then he will head toward you and try to kill you with an AK-47. If
this happens then use whatever weapon you want to kill him. But, if you are
far enough away, then he will take a few steps then stop. When he stops
then nail him with your Sniper Rifle.
By the way, if you kill him in this fashion, then you can wait for his boat
to slip back into the water and you can drive it around if you wish.
However, his boat, called the Ghost (Xbox) or Ghost missing (PS2), doesn't
do anything special.
If you wait for him to come back around the large boat then he will head
for the rocks and toward your position. You can destroy him with your
Sniper Rifle at this point without him making a run for the beach.
Regardless of method, once you kill Ray's partner, then the mission is
successfully completed.

witness and he ain't dead! And today he's gonna make a Federal

0=======================>
Get a Firetruck and take it with you to Middle Park.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
Take the Firetruck and head towards the blip which is the Ambulance
carrying the witness. When you smack it the first time then you will be
spotted and get a 2-Star Wanted Rating.
Smack it again to eject the witness who happens to be in a body-cast. The
body-cast is flame and bullet proof so you will have to use something else
to kill him. In this case you can run him over with the Firetruck.
You can either go back to your Safehouse to use the Police Bribes to get
rid of the Wanted Ratings then run him over or fight through the Police
pursuit to run him over. After you run him over with the Firetruck (it may
take two tries) then you will finally kill him and successfully complete
the mission.
If you thought about using the Rhino or the Rocket Launcher on the
Ambulance, you're not alone.
However, if you completely destroy the Ambulance with the Rhino or a
rocket, then it will become a decoy and another Ambulance will generate
near the hospital. You will have to damage the Ambulance without destroying
it to eject the witness. This is why I used the Firetruck instead of the
Rhino.

Ray is in over his head and needs Claude to take him to the Airport so he
can leave town.....

| Notes \
0=======================>
Get a fast car, like a Yakuza Stinger, or a Rhino, and take it with you to
Ray's.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
You have three minutes to take Ray to the Airport and the Shoreside Lift
Bridge is being watched over by the CIA so you will have to take another
route.
If you decide to use the fast car strategy then the best route is through
the subway and the nearest entryway is the Liberty Campus Subway Entrance.
Get to the tracks, go right, and stay on the left side. Exit through the
Francis International Airport Subway Entrance and go to the blue circle to
drop off Ray.
If you decide to use the Rhino then just go up the bridge like you would in
a car. The CIA gunmen can't hurt you because you are in the tank. Even
though the tank is a little slow you can get to the Airport in plenty of
time.
As a reward for dropping off Ray at the Airport you are then given a set of
keys to a lock-up that has some goodies. Go to the lock-up which is near
the Tw@ Internet Cafe in Newport. Opening up the lock-up will reveal a
Bulletproof Patriot, a Rocket Launcher, a Sniper Rifle, a Flamethrower, and
an M-16.
And, by getting to the lock-up, then you also successfully complete the
mission. Oh, and don't forget to take the Bulletproof Patriot and save it
at any of your Safehouse garages for future use.

**IMPORTANT: This mission *MUST* be done before "Grand Theft Aero". If you

be able to do "Two-Faced Tanner" and you will lose out on 100%
Completion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are two ways to do this mission depending on your style:
>>The Rocket Launcher Method
**************************
Go the the blue circle but don't enter it. Turn Claude until you are
aiming west down the street going from the Casino's entrance. Switch
to your Rocket Launcher and step into the blue circle. After the
cutscene ends then quickly go into Target mode and rocket his car to
destroy it and successfully complete the mission.
If you thought about destroying his car before he enters it, don't.
You will fail the mission. The car is also locked so you can't take
it to any of 8-Ball's Bomb Shops and rig it with a bomb.
>>The Rhino Method
****************
If you managed to acquire a tank then you can use it here. Go back to
your garage and get your Rhino.
Drive over to Kenji's Casino and park in the blue circle. Wait for
the undercover cop to get into his car. When he does then follow him.
If you were to use a regular car and hit this guy's car then you
would get a 5-Star Wanted Rating and he will try to speed up and
evade you (and you would have to deal with FBI Cars and other Police
Vehicles).
But, when you use the tank, then one hit will automatically destroy
him and successfully complete the mission. Simple. Then park your
tank back in your garage for future use.

It turns out that Claude's work in "A Drop In The Ocean" was merely a decoy
and that the real item was in the plane all along. But customs seized the
plane and was stripping it down until Donald intervened. All the officials
have been paid off and the only thing Claude has to do is get the package
at the Airport.....

| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you arrive at the hangar then you find a couple of vans there. It
turns out that the Columbians beat you to the punch and have killed all of
the officials near the plane. Keep your distance and pick off the four
Columbians guarding the plane with the Sniper Rifle.
After killing them then enter the plane. The package is gone and the game
prompts you to go to one of the remaining vans outside the hangar. The van
has the Pan-Lantic logo on the side. You are then prompted to go to the
construction site on Staunton Island (the Pan-Lantic Construction Site) to
see about getting the package there.
When you arrive there then you are given a hostile greeting by the
Columbians. There are ten Columbians guarding the lift up the building.
They are hidden around the blue walled area leading to the lift.
Use the raised ground south of the walled area and the unfinished building
next to it and snipe them from above. You can also use the Rocket Launcher
to get those you can't see. Listen for their taunts to locate them. After
killing all of the Columbian guards then you are prompted to take the lift.
Another method given to me by Bimmylee recommends taking an Ambulance and
parking it against a wall closest to the elevator. Climb up the vehicle and
kill any nearby Columbians then climb over the wall and run to the elevator
before any other gunmen can chase you.
After getting on the elevator then you are treated to a cutscene of Claude
going up the lift. He manages to surprise Catalina and her partner Miguel.
As Miguel gives the package to Claude then Catalina shoots him and flees.
When Claude turns around then he is met by Asuka who is upset over the
death of Kenji and has blamed the Cartel for it (and is totally unaware of
Claude's duplicity in the matter). She is going to work over Miguel for
information and wants you to stop by later for additional work.
After the cutscene ends then go back to Love Media to successfully complete
the mission.

Get a Yakuza Stinger and take it with you to Love Media.
One of my contributors, Web, offered this alternative way to do this
mission.....
"Instead of following the truck around and trying to protect, when it
takes off, just stay away from it. If you are far enough away from it,
it will not take any damage, maybe a little, but after a couple minutes
of waiting, you will get a message telling you to check out the exit of
the tunnel. Go across the lift bridge, and wait until the blip (truck)
moves a little, then get away from it again, go back to your hideout in
Staunton Island, and you will complete the mission without doing
anything. (One time the damage meter just popped up and I failed the
mission instantly. I do not know why that happened, but it only happened
once. Also, if you just stay near Donald Love's building, you can
restart the mission if that does happen.)"
I played around with it and it works but the Securicar can get pretty
damaged in the process. But his suggestion inspired me to make some
changes.
Something funny happened to me while I was taking notes for this mission. I
was going along the route and decided to park the car on the sidewalk at
Liberty Campus so I could type.
While I was parked, a thug carjacked me and sped off. Lucky me, I just
happened to have my Rocket Launcher ready so I aimed down the street and
blew up the car that was taken from me (along with the thief inside).
Even better was the fact that I blew up the car in front of a Police Car.
And the Cop didn't even give a shit. Serves the thief right. Nobody
carjacks from Claude and lives to tell the tale.....
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The mission won't start until you drive near the parked Securicar that has
the Old Oriental Gentleman in it. This also gives you an excellent
opportunity to get a Securicar for the Industrial Import Export Garage.
Just like in the mission "Van Heist", the game needs to spawn Securicars
because of the special Securicar you need to protect. So wander around
Staunton Island (don't get too close to the parked Securicar otherwise you
start the mission) and find another Securicar.
Then jack it and take it back to the Industrial Import Export Garage. Then
go back to Staunton Island, get another Yakuza Stinger and go to the
parked Securicar to start the mission.
The path the Securicar takes is:
>>Down the main road through Bedford Point to Belleville Park.
>>Then it turns left then right and goes down the road through Aspatria
and turns right at the Stadium Entrance.
>>Then it turns left down the main road (between the Stadium and Liberty
Campus) and turns right at the intersection in Rockford.
>>Then it goes into the Porter Tunnel where it turns left at the
intersection and turns left at the next one to go to Shoreside Vale.
>>Then it exits the tunnel next to the Airport and goes up the road until
it reaches the AM Petroleum Company (Shoreside Vale) at Pike Creek
where it will be safe and the mission ends.
Partway through the mission, the Columbians will attack the vehicle with
Cartel Cruisers and with gunmen posted at various places along the path.
Believe it or not, if you just sit there by Love Media and let the
Securicar go on its own, then it will suffer little damage (unless it tries
to plow through traffic).
However, for some reason, it will not exit the tunnel (at the Airport)
unless you move near the Airport (by going over the drawbridge). If you
decide to go far ahead and wait at the tunnel exit then the Securicar will
not enter the tunnel at Staunton Island.
In addition, if you decide to "ambush the ambushers" before getting the
Securicar to start, then it won't work. The designers made it so that the
Columbians appear only when the Securicar gets to within a certain distance
from them.
As it turns out, the Cartel Cruisers end up doing little damage to the
vehicle. It's the gunmen posted along the route (wielding M-16s) that are
the most dangerous.
There are two different strategies to try depending on your style:
>>Getting Ahead of the Gunmen
***************************
While Web's strategy does work, I've come up with another strategy
that will allow you to succeed but with little damage to the
Securicar.
The strategy is to go ahead of the vehicle and take down the gunmen
as they appear. Vanatorul DeVise's suggestion is to use the
Bulletproof Patriot you earned from the mission "Marked Man". There
are ten Columbian gunmen to get rid of.
First, go down through Belleville Park and park the Yakuza Stinger on
the right sidewalk just past Uncle BJ's (the one under the Shoreside
Lift Bridge Loop) and by the front door of Semi Sportswear.
When the first gunmen appear then run over Gunman [#1] ahead of you
and turn left to do a circle that will allow you to run over Gunman
[#2] then go north along the street to the Stadium entrance.
Gunman [#3] is on the right side of the Stadium steps. Run him over
and circle toward the main road along Liberty Campus. Gunman [#4] is
standing on the right side of the road on the north part of Liberty
Campus. Run him over and continue to the Porter Tunnel Entrance.
When at the tunnel entrance then exit your car and switch to your
Sniper Rifle. Snipe Gunman [#5] at the top of the tunnel entrance.
Then get back in your car and stop at the first intersection in the
tunnel. When Gunman [#6] appears at the intersection then drive-by
him and proceed to the tunnel exit at the Airport.
After exiting the tunnel then park the car on the median and exit.
Aim the Sniper Rifle at the top of the tunnel exit you came from.
When Gunman [#7] appears, shoot him, get back in your car, and then
run over Gunman [#8] at the Airport intersection right by the
construction cones.
Right by the AM Petroleum Company (Shoreside Vale), on the left
sidewalk, will be Gunman [#9]. When you run him over then turn right
and run over Gunman [#10] who will be on the right sidewalk.
After that then all you have to do is wait for the Securicar to come
by and park at the AM Petroleum Company (Shoreside Vale). You can
ignore the Cartel Cruisers unless they manage to get lucky and really
mess up the Securicar.
>>Surfing the Securicar
*********************
Another interesting way to do this mission is to jump on top of the
Securicar and do the mission from there. Even though the game says
you need a car to do this mission once you manage to jump on top of
the armored vehicle the mission will start.
To jump on top of the vehicle, go directly south from the door when
you start the mission. You should see the bushes by the pillar near
the Securicar.
Inside the bushes is an M-16 Weapon Icon (which will appear for this
mission only). Get inside the bushes and aim Claude toward the
vehicle. Jump onto the ledge then jump onto the Securicar. Move
close to the front and the mission will start.
When doing the mission this way then I suggest using the Rocket
Launcher on the Cartel Cruisers when they come up from behind. Use
the Sniper Rifle on the gunmen.
Even though you are on top of a moving vehicle, if you zoom in all
the way, the sight will still move slowly enough to allow you to
precisely aim on the gunmen as you approach them.
However, when in the tunnel, then you will be knocked off when the
tunnel dips as you get near Francis International Airport. Just run
up the tunnel far enough to get the "Welcome to Shoreside Vale"
message then get up on the tunnel sidewalk and stop.
If you kept the damage to the Securicar to a minimum then you can
just let it go on its own from here.
If you thought of moving Claude onto the hood of the vehicle to drop
him low enough to keep him from getting knocked off, don't bother.
For some reason, when you put him on the hood, then the game will
think he will be in front of the Securicar and he will lose armor and
health. Unless you move him quickly back onto the top of the vehicle
Claude will die and you will fail the mission.
Regardless of method, after the Securicar parks safely inside the AM
Petroleum Company (Shoreside Vale) building, then the mission is
successfully completed.

| Notes \
0=======================>
During one attempt I got the Securicar and made my way to the street. I
barely poked my nose out from the AMCO entrance and I get hit by a vehicle.
A Rhino. So my mission ends before I can begin. That's just wrong.
I've also had several people write to me saying that I should destroy the
Police Vehicles surrounding the place first before grabbing the decoy
vehicle.
This is *NOT* a good idea. I found that if you do this then the Police
Vehicles that chase you are mostly going to be the Barracks OL and the
Rhinos which is what you *DON'T* want. If you leave the Police Vehicles
alone then the Police Vehicles that chase you are primarily going to be the
Police Cars and Enforcers which are easier to deal with.
Reader Daniel Stephen also had this to add:
"Instead of hiding under the Lift Bridge, I went to Francis Intl.
and headed to the hangar with the Dodo in from "Grand Theft Aero". I
found that if you head right to the back of the hangar, the cops won't
be able to get you. Most times the cops I saw around the entrance would
just circle around the entrance, and you'd be pretty unlucky for them to
get in. Then you can just wait it out."
This is not a bad option. However, I still prefer the bridge because it is
closer than the hangar.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you reach the AM Petroleum Company (Shoreside Vale) area then you
should see some Police Vehicles (Enforcers and Police Cars) parked around
the perimeter of the building. As stated above, you should leave them
alone.
Next, park your car in the entranceway then enter the Decoy Vehicle. When
you get inside then you will be hit with a 6-Star Wanted Rating. However,
the vehicles that will be chasing you are mostly going to be the Enforcers
and Police Cars you passed up.
Instead of going out the way you came in, hang a right and jump off of the
ramp to get to the street below. Then head toward the Shoreside Lift
Bridge.
As you turn south and head toward the three-way intersection for the
Airport entrance then veer left slightly and into the oncoming lanes. After
you get past the Sumo billboard and the overhead road signs then veer left
and off the road between the large tree and the start of the tunnel exit.
Stay on the grass and continue toward the Shoreside Lift Bridge.
Next, go underneath the Shoreside Lift Bridge and park the Securicar next
to the Flamethrower Weapon Icon. From this point on the Police can't touch
you and you can just sit and wait. However, if a Police Vehicle does chase
you under the bridge, then stand still and wait for the officers to exit
their car and drive-by them when they approach.
After the timer runs out then the mission is successfully completed.

All of the action takes place in Shoreside Vale. The Yakuza ambush point is
at The Undercover Storage company in Pike Creek. The three death squads are
located at Cochrane Dam, Cedar Grove and Pike Creek.
If you thought about taking them down from a distance with a Rocket
Launcher, forget about it. Doing so will fail the mission. You *HAVE* to
lure them to the Yakuza.
When you start the mission then grab the Yakuza Stinger parked nearby. When
you get to Pike Creek then you will activate to first death squad. Lure it
to the ambush point. If you get too far ahead then you will lose them and
fail the mission.
When you successfully lure them to the ambush point then use the ramp for
Jump [PKC-J14] to get out of the way, jump down into the street below, and
let the Yakuza do their work.
If you wreck the car then go to the nearby Fudge Packing Corp. to get
another car (if you completed the Suburban Import Export Garage list) or
jack one from the street.
Lure the other two death squads to the ambush point. When the last of the
squads are killed then the mission is successfully completed.

--Optional: Make sure that you still have the Bulletproof Patriot parked in

Had a gentleman named xX-G-MaN-Xx point out something that should have been
obvious in the beginning.
I also had another reader, Mike Unger, point out that after destroying
several of the stands then you will be chased by a Cartel Cruiser. But it
usually doesn't give much trouble.
Another reader, David, pointed out that the Cartel Cruiser is parked by the
Mean Street Taxis/"69th Street" billboards near the Francis International
Airport area. Destroy him while cruising for the Stands and you won't have
to worry about it anymore.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
There are nine stands throughout Liberty City. When you destroy the first
one then you have eight minutes to destroy the other eight stands before
the Cartel warn their pushers. There are two stands on Portland Island,
five stands in Staunton Island and two in Shoreside Vale.
What xX-G-MaN-Xx suggested is to drive around Liberty City and get the
blips to appear on the radar first before destroying the first stand. This
will make things easier as you progress through the mission.
The two stands in Portland (and the order I am going to destroy them in)
are:
>>[#1] - In the front of a small park in St. Mark's.
>>[#2] - Across the street from the entrance to Portland Docks.
One of the stands on Portland Island is in Mafia territory. Because of the
hostile Mafia and their powerful Shotguns then I highly recommend using the
Bulletproof Patriot for this mission. If you were not able to save the
Bulletproof Patriot you can still do this mission.
If you have the Patriot then you can just go up to the stands and ram them
without them doing any damage with gunfire (but you will damage the Patriot
by ramming the stands). If you don't have the Patriot then you can get out
of the car some distance from the stands and rocket them.
To get the stand in Mafia territory without using the Patriot you will need
to go around the north edge of Portland Island and come up beside the late
Salvatore Leone's mansion. Get one of the two cars parked there and drive
up the the main fence. Jump up on top of the car and rocket the first
stand.
Then get back in the car and go south alongside and behind the apartment
building and down the hill behind the SupaSave! Store. Then get back on the
road and head to the second stand. After destroying the second Portland
Island stand then drive on over to Staunton Island and destroy the other
five stands in this order:
>>[#3] - By the crystal sculpture at Crystal Park in Torrington.
>>[#4] - In the plaza across the street from the 20thC. Building in
Bedford Point.
>>[#5] - By Liberty Cathedral.
>>[#6] - In Middle Park.
>>[#7] - In front of the building south of the Multistory Car-Park in
Newport.
Use the Rocket Launcher on all of them except [#6] which you can quickly
smash with the Patriot (although you can rocket it from afar regardless of
whether or not you have the Patriot). Then drive over to Shoreside Vale to
destroy the last two stands:
>>[#8] - By the Francis International Airport Subway Entrance.
>>[#9] - In front of Hope Medical College in Pike Creek.
Destroy these two to successfully complete the mission. Park the
Bulletproof Patriot at your Wichita Gardens garage for later use (if you
have it and use it).
An alternate vehicle you can use for this mission is the Rhino. It's slow
but you don't have to worry about the hostile gangs shooting up your
vehicle. Because of the slow speed then you will need to use the Tank Gun
Boost when going up the bridges.
In addition, there's a good chance that when you do that then you will
attract Police attention and they can smack the Rhino and, even though they
explode against it, it will slow you down which will delay you and possibly
allow a Cop the opportunity to get up to your door and bust you before you
can get away.
If you can control the Rhino enough to keep the Wanted Ratings to a minimum
then you can still finish this mission with about a minute to spare but
you will need to use the Tank Gun Boost on the bridges to help speed things
along.

When Claude arrives at the construction site then he finds Maria has joined
Asuka in torturing Miguel. He reveals that a plane carrying more SPANK will
be arriving soon at the airport. Asuka wants Claude to get a boat, go to
one of the marker buoys, use a Rocket Launcher to shoot the plane down,
grab the stuff and stash it.....

| Weapons \
0=======================>
--Sniper Rifle.
--Rocket Launcher.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
What the game wants you to do is get to a boat, go to a marker buoy near
the Airport (within three and a half minutes), and then blast the plane
from the sky. The problem with this is the fact that it is hard to hit the
plane from the boat and from the angle you have to take with the Rocket
Launcher.
However, there are two other, and different, methods to do this mission
depending on your style:
>>The Fast Car Method
*******************
This method, suggested by Sal Hutton, was to take a fast car, like
the Yakuza Stinger parked by the elevator where you started the
mission, and drive over to the Airport tarmac.
Near the north end of the South Runway are two groups of Columbians
(three men and one Cartel Cruiser per group). Keep far enough away,
exit your car, then switch to your Sniper Rifle and kill all six
Columbians.
If you get too close then a couple of Columbians will enter one of
the Cruisers and confront you.
Next, drive over near one of the two Cruisers, get out, and switch to
your Rocket Launcher. Now stand to either the left or right side of
the Main Runway and aim the Launcher down the runway near the center.
When the plane lands on the runway then rocket it. In the process of
destroying the plane you will get a 4-Star Wanted Rating.
Get back to your car and collect all eight packages then go between
the runways and to the Predator waiting there at the end of the path.
Take the boat and go back to Staunton Island. Get as close as you can
to the Construction Site and beach the craft. Then jack a nearby car
and go to the Site.
>>The Rhino Method
****************
This method, suggested to me by Liwei Wu, was to take the Rhino to
the Airport instead of a fast car.
One problem with that is that the Rhino is slow and you need to get
into position within three and a half minutes. To overcome this you
will have to use the Tank Gun Boost (turning the turret around and
firing it to gain speed). Use it occasionally while on the road
leading to the Airport and use it constantly when on the Airport
grounds.
When you get to the north end of the South Runway where the two
groups of Columbians are then all you need to do is just run into the
Cartel Cruisers and goons. After dealing with both groups then drive
the Rhino halfway down the runway then stop and and get out.
There are two things you need to know about using the Rhino for this
mission.
First, if you try to let the Dodo run into the tank and make it
explode, then you will fail the mission because the Dodo will go
right *THROUGH* the tank.
Second, you *CANNOT* use the turret gun on the Dodo either. The
shells will just go right through the airplane. You need to get out
and use the Rocket Launcher on the Dodo when it lands on the runway.
After rocketing the Dodo, and getting the 4-Star Wanted Rating, then
pick up all eight packages and re-enter the Rhino. One major
advantage to using the tank is that the Police vehicles will simply
explode against your vehicle as you drive back to the Construction
Site.
When you arrive at the Construction Site, regardless of method, then you
begin the cutscene "Ransom". Claude finds that Asuka and Miguel are dead
and Maria missing. He also finds a note.....
"I've got your precious Maria. If you don't want her face to look like
she fell out with the butcher bring $500,000 to the Villa at Cedar
Grove."

Have your Bulletproof Patriot, or a Rhino, saved at your Wichita Gardens

I had a gentleman named Shaun recommend to me another method using the
Rhino and I tried it out. It worked well enough to put into the guide.
I also had a reader, Lindsey Kids, make an additional suggestion concerning
the Rhino:
"i know i am a little late getting to GTA3, but i noticed that you said
on the mission "Uz-I Money" that you have to store a tank at the
Staunton Island place, the game remembers the place of tanks, so if you

| The Plan \
0=======================>
You need to drive-by twenty Purple Nines to complete this mission and there
are two methods to go about doing it depending on your style.....
>>The BulletProof Patriot
***********************
One of the problems with this method is that, when you start
drive-bying, then you will get accosted by the Hoods Rumpo XL vans
that roam Wichita Gardens. This will make things difficult because
they will do damage to your Patriot and throw off your aim.
But there is a place where you can drive-by and not worry about the
Hoods Rumpos.
There is a stretch of road that runs from your Safehouse to the
parking lot behind it. Just go up and down this stretch of road to
claim your victims. Since your Patriot is bulletproof then they can
shoot it up as much as they want and not do any damage.
>>The Rhino
*********
Shaun wrote this to me commenting on "Uz-I Money".....
"On Uz-I $, the tank cannon counts as a drive-by killing. Just
drive around shooting everything. If your shot hits a billboard,
it will explode killing everyone nearby. If you blow up a car, and
Purples whodie in the explosion count as kills."
I tried this out and it works pretty well. This is a nice method to
use if you were able to acquire a Rhino earlier in the game. The only
place to save the Rhino is at the Staunton Island garage so it will
take some time to get the tank to the mission pick-up point. Just go
around the area and use your Tank Gun to claim your victims.
After you kill the last Purple Nine then the mission is successfully
completed. If you used the Rhino then go and park it back at the Staunton
Island garage so you can use it later.

When you pick up the mission then you have six minutes to get the car, an
Infernus, to the garage in St. Mark's. Too many bumps during the trip and
the bomb will blow. The Infernus is parked in the parking lot behind your
Safehouse. Use the Gardens Shortcut to go to the Porter Tunnel and drive to
Portland.
Don't worry about the Mafia when you arrive at St. Mark's. Their hostility
has been turned off for this mission so all you have to do is get the car
into the garage.
After defusing the bomb then take the car back to Shoreside Vale. Repair
the car at the Pay 'N' Spray there and carefully drive it back to the
parking lot. You have to get it back there with no damage whatsoever.
Damage it and you will have to take it back to the Pay 'N' Spray.

will attract the attention of the Cops. Head left at the intersection then
turn right at the next to make your way to the garage picking up platinum
as you go.
If you can do this right then you can get all of the pieces you need in one

any more. After you have acquired at least thirty pieces then the mission

0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
Get a fast car, like a Yakuza Stinger, or a Rhino, and save it at your
garage.
Got a new tip that worked pretty well from some named KWoBBS2.....
"In the KC1. "Bling-Bling Scramble" (King Courtney) mission, I found that
using the old Rhino works especially well...blowing up your competition,
then taking your good sweet time hitting each check point."
And I got another suggestion by Hari Vikram that works pretty good too.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When you start the mission then take your fast car (or Rhino) and drive to
the blue circle near the Liberty Memorial Coliseum and turn south before
entering. When you stop in the blue circle then you will see the other
three cars come up to challenge you: a Patriot, a Cheetah, and a Bobcat.
When the race starts then you must be the first to a Checkpoint. You have
to have more firsts than the other cars to successfully complete the race.
If you get more firsts than the other cars when the last Checkpoint is
taken then you will then successfully complete the mission.
Of course, with the Rhino, you can just blow up your competition at the
starting line and get all of the Checkpoints for yourself.
Then there's this method suggested to me by Hari Vikram:
Get the Rocket Launcher and make sure you have it ready when you enter your
car. This method works best if you use a real fast car like the Yakuza
Stinger. When the race starts then speed over to the first Checkpoint but
stop just before you touch it. Get out of the car and aim the Rocket
Launcher.
If you got to the Checkpoint fast enough then the other cars should be way
behind you. This will give you enough time to stop, get out, aim, and blast
the other cars to bits. Then get back in your car and acquire all fifteen
Checkpoints. If you manage to blow up your car in the process then just go
get another one and proceed.

You may want to acquire a Diablo Stallion, and store it in one of your

When you start the mission then King Courtney will send over a couple of
guys to ride with you. They come up in a Perennial and the escorts are
there to make sure you don't leave the vehicle.
They also give you an Uz-I to help you out. Then make your way to Hepburn
Heights to kill the Diablos. You need to kill ten of them to successfully
complete the mission. If you drive-by them then you will attract their
attention and they will try to yank you from the car.
Since your car is a lousy Perennial then they can do that pretty easy. If
they yank you from the car then you fail the mission. The best thing to do
is to run them over. Most times they won't come after you because they
think of you as just another stupid driver.
After killing ten Diablos then make your way back to the blue circle in
Yardie turf to successfully complete the mission.

King Courtney wants Claude to steal some gang cars so that they can do some
hits on rival turf: a Mafia Sentinel, a Diablo Stallion, and a Yakuza

0======0
| Notes \
0=======================>
You may want to find and get the gang cars *BEFORE* doing the following
missions:
>>Mafia Sentinel - Sayonara Salvatore.
>>Diablo Stallion - Uz-I Rider.
And save them in your garages. This will make this mission easier because
you won't have to deal with hostile gangs. Thanks to Scott Exeter for that
suggestion.
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
If you followed the earlier suggestion by Scott Exeter then simply take
your gang cars from your garages and drive them to the drop-off point in
Newport. If you didn't then this is how you go about acquiring them:
For the Mafia Sentinel, use the Porter Tunnel and turn left onto the
concrete embankment when you exit. The plan is to go behind the late
Salvatore Leone's mansion and get one parked in the front.
Then go back down the hillside north of the club and back to the garage to
drop off the car. This will prevent you from being shot up by the
now-hostile Mafia.
For the Diablo Stallion, head into Hepburn Heights and jack one. Despite
the Diablo hostility this isn't hard to do. For the Yakuza Stinger, head
over to Asuka's Condo and take the one parked there.
If you damaged up the car too much then head over to the Pay 'N' Spray to
have it repaired before depositing. Or, if you don't mind a little
cheating, then you can do what Hadley Box suggests:
"On 'Gangcar Roundup', you say you have to have the cars in mint
condition to be accepted by the garage, which is true. I'm guessing you
already know that if you input the health cheat inside a car the car
will go back to its original unharmed state, but it will still look the
same. So this is handy because if you get one of the 3 gangcars, and
mess it up real bad (almost to the point of it setting on fire) you can
just drive to the garage, input the health code and then the garage will
accept the car!"
When you deposit the last car then the mission is successfully completed.

--Uz-I.
--Rocket Launcher.
--Molotovs.
--Grenades.
--Tank Gun (Rhino).
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
The car is parked in the Liberty Tree Offices above ground parking lot and
you have a minute and a half to get to the car. Go west from the phone and
hang a left going south along the four lane road that runs along the shore.
When you get to the car then you find a letter inside.....
"I hear you've been a busy boy. Well I've been a busy girl. I think it's
time you witnessed the real power of 'SPANK'! Besos y fuderes, Catalina,
xxx. PS: DIE PEEG DOG, DIE!!"
At that point, a van shows up near the main entrance and a SPANKed-up
madman exits. He has explosives attached to him and he will make his way to
your car and blow himself up against it.
There are a total of four vans that need to be destroyed. However, as Danny
Williamson pointed out, there is already a van in the parking lot. Destroy
it first before entering the car to make things easier.
When you regain control then turn the car around and ram the van near the
main entrance with it then get out. The impact plus the exploding bomber
should be enough to destroy it. Then run out into the street and go up the
stairs by the underground entrance.
There are an additional three vans (four total) that release an unlimited
number of suicide bombers that must be destroyed (plus any leftover
bombers) to complete the mission. Use the Rocket Launcher to destroy the
vans.
Depending on where the remaining bombers are you can use any other weapon
do destroy them. If they are on the far side then use the Rocket Launcher.
If they are close then use either the Grenades or the Molotovs.
If you have the Rhino then this becomes easier. When you get the tank on
Staunton Loop (West) going south then use the Tank Gun Boost to increase
speed.
When you regain control of the Rhino after the cutscene ends then
get out and quickly get into your tank. The bombers won't try to yank you
from the Rhino, they will just explode harmlessly against it so you are
safe.
Then use the Main Gun (rotate the gun instead of moving the tank) to
destroy the vans and bombers to successfully complete the mission.

by it. This is so you can repeat "Bling-Bling Scramble" and try to get a
better score.
In addition, the Yardies will be now hostile to you. This is the main
reason I saved this one before the last Main Story Mission. Go back to the

0=======================>
Have a fast car, or the Bulletproof Patriot, saved at your Wichita Gardens
garage.
Dennis Zoetebier came with an alternate method using the Bulletproof
Patriot.
I also had Charles Wooters come up with an interesting observation. He
noted that after you destroy Catalina, and the mission timer disappears,
then you can do whatever you want without getting any Wanted Ratings.
However, as I played around with this, I found out that this actually
begins when the mission starts.
I also had one reader, Robbert Houtman, write that, because he didn't have
the Rocket Launcher Weapon Icon at the Wichita Gardens Safehouse, he made a
run for Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus to get Rocket Launchers then made his
way back to the Cochrane Dam area. He still had about three minutes left to
do the rest of the mission.
Plus reader tebox came up with a different weapon to take down the
helicopter. And reader Robin Blackstone made a suggestion for the Xbox
version.
Reader Thomas Andriessen also had this to share on how he did this mission:
"I just wanted to share with you how I finished the last task in
defeating Catalina. I combined two parts of your guide. After the first
scene were the cartel takes al your weapons and you have to escape in
one of the cartel cruisers, I went to the safe house. I did not collect
all the packages, so I don't have the rocket launcher. I toke the
bulletproof patriot I saved and toke it to Tony's house on Ceder creek.
Here I used your trick to get on the roof, but instead of using the
ambulance I used the patriot. If you park the patriot just right you can
use it to jump on de roof. This way you have the patriot and the rocket
launcher to do the last scene. It is a lot quicker than buying it at the
depot."
0=========0
| The Plan \
0=======================>
When the mission begins then run as quickly to the backside of the Villa as
fast as you can. You can't go back and fight these guards because you have
been stripped of all of your weapons. You also have seven minutes to get to
where Catalina has taken Maria, Cochrane Dam, and kill her.
Run along the backside of The Mansion and go to the garage that has a
Cruiser and Body Armor inside it. Then get into the Cruiser, get to the
main gate and run over the guards.
When you exit The Mansion then you will see a chopper fly overhead. When
you regain control again then go to the small wall nearby (and near the
lightpost) and veer off the road over the wall.
If the Cruiser survives the plunge then go to your Safehouse. If not then
grab another car and make a mad dash your Safehouse. Get all of your Weapon
Icons and go into your garage to get your fast car.
Use the Gardens Shortcut and make your way to the Dam's entrance. Cut
across the grass on your right when you near the hairpin turn, stop when
you get back to the street and get out (regardless of whether you use the
Bulletproof Patriot or not).
Use your Rocket Launcher and destroy the two Cruisers blocking the
entrance. From your vantage point, you can only see one but they can't fire
on you either. Just fire on the one Cruiser and the explosion will take
them both down.
Get back into your vehicle and drive to the Sniper Rifle Icon at the turn
near the base of the dam. Use the Rocket Launcher again and destroy the two
Cruisers in front of you then use the Sniper Rifle on any other Columbians
you see.
Get back into your car, go to the first set of container crates, and get
out. Rocket the Barracks OL and snipe the other guards. Go back into your
car and go to next set of container crates just past the exploded Barracks
OL. Get out, rocket the other Barracks OLs, and snipe the remaining guards.
Get back into your car and proceed forward.
If you have the Bulletproof Patriot then just barge in after destroying the
second set of Cruisers. They can't hurt you with their guns. Just run some
of them over and get to the second set of container crates.
Just as you get past the second set of container crates then a cutscene
ensues which shows Catalina entering a helicopter. This helicopter launches
rockets at you when you are at the base of the Dam.
So, after the cutscene finishes, then turn around and head back up the road
then turn west after the Dam entrance and stop at the nearby hairpin turn
(this is also Jump [CCD-J13]).
The helicopter will go in a circular pattern going down toward the Dam to
release its rockets then going back up near where you are at. When the
helicopter heads in your direction then rocket it to destroy it. According
to reader tebox you can also destroy the helicopter with the M-16.
When the helicopter is destroyed, regardless of weapon, then you kill
Catalina and the timer will disappear. Switch back to your Sniper Rifle and
aim at the top of the Cochrane Dam Power House.
Believe it or not, you can actually see Maria and her captors from your
position when you zoom in with your Sniper Rifle. Take down the Columbians
that you can see then re-enter your car, go back to the Dam base and stop
by the second set of container crates.
It should be noted that this doesn't work on the Xbox version because the
Sniper Rifle can't zoom in that far. But, according to Robin Blackstone,
you can still take them down from a distance if you climb to the top of the
stairs for the small building built into the dam closest to them (this will
also work on the PC and PS2 versions as well).
When you get back to the second set of container crates then snipe any
guards you see then go to the stairs that leads to the roof of the Cochrane
Dam Power House. Take down any remaining guards then walk up to Maria and
rescue her to successfully complete the mission.

Here's an alternate version of what the angry store owner says to you during
"Shima":
Owner: "I can't pay you and I wouldn't pay you if I could! Some young gang
just jacked out the place! They took everything! You guys are
useless. What kind of Yakuza are YOU anyway...? This ain't what I
pay you goons for. If I wanted this kind of protection I'd have
used the god damn Police service."

Here's an alternate version of what Maria says at the end of the game:
Maria: "I broke a nail, and my hair's ruined. Can you believe it? This one
cost me fifty dollars!
I was so scared, but then I thought to myself, you're a big girl
now. Oh we're going to have such fun, cause, you know, my sister
said she wanted to come to stay with her two kids, because her
husband's playing around again and..XXXX"

I wonder where this was supposed to go:
"BETRAYED BY HIS LOVER CATALINA AND LEFT FOR DEAD. CONVICTED AND SENTENCED,
HE BEGINS HIS JOURNEY TO LIBERTY CITY PENITENTIARY. BUT ONLY ONE THOUGHT
BURNS IN HIS CRIMINAL MIND......REVENGE!"

This is only a part of some of the interesting stuff that is found in the
"american.gxt" file. It's not an easy thing to sort through but it is cool to
look around and see all of the stuff they left behind "on the cutting room
floor".
And that, my friends, completes the guide. I sincerely hope that this
document has helped you as much as I had fun playing the game.
Now it is time to close the book.....
