Remember that the primary purpose of a guide is to help you beat a game. As far as I can tell, it fulfills that purpose. Therefore no more information is needed. I don't care if you found a typo, I don't care if you found the freaking Full Wing Dodo, any and all submissions sent to me will be deleted on sight. If you would like to still see your submissions put up somewhere though, then I would suggest you send them to the other GTA3 walkthroughs featured out there, like the ones at www.gamefaqs.com. I will still answer questions that you may have about the game though. Also, while I do have a version of this guide on the PC version, I don't own a copy myself. I'm also not planning to purchase one. I simply had my friend CVXFREAK do the conversion for me. If you're having trouble with some problem on the PC version I don't guarantee I'll be able to help you. I warn you, if you add me to your MSN Messenger Buddy list, I will not be able to talk to you. The reason is because my contact list is full and I can't take any more contacts. Don't bother trying to add me to your list because I just have too many contacts now. ********************** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ********************** This guide is pretty long, so to help you find what you are looking for, try pressing Ctrl + F.

Grand Theft Auto 3 is one delightful little game. I have been forever dreaming of a game with this kind of absolute freedom. Now, thanks to Rockstar, that dream has come true! You can do almost ANYTHING you want to do in this game. You can jack cars, rampage through downtown with an arsenal of weaponry, pose as a cop and kill criminals, anything. The city of Liberty City is before you. Read below, to help you better in upping the carnage you cause or moving up through the ranks of the street gangs... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2: Revision History Version 1.0 11/23/01 - First Edition *********************************************************************** Version 1.5 11/26/01 - I added the "Flying the Dodo Mini-FAQ," have gone through the main walkthrough to correct some laughable errors I made in my rush to get this guide out before my Thanksgiving break was over, and added Joshua to Reader's Contributions for his corrections on my rant about the flame-thrower and the Molotov Cocktails. Oh yeah, and I'm making a new standard copyright again. I'm gonna let psxcodez.com host all my PSX and PS2 guides from now on. *********************************************************************** Version 1.6 11/29/01 - I added a few reader notes, and am still trying to hunt down all the awkward phrases and paragraphs in this guide. *********************************************************************** Version 1.7 12/2/01 - I added more readers' notes, and added the Securicar Cracking Garage to the Extra Things section. *********************************************************************** Version 1.8 12/5/01 - More readers notes....yawn. And a small addition to info on 8-Ball's Bomb Shop. *********************************************************************** Version 2.0 12/7/01 - I added King Vinsfeld's info on how to get a bulletproof Cheetah, no joke! I also wrote in more stuff for the emergency vehicle missions section, one unique jump, and added readers' notes. This guide needs to be updated so FREQUENTLY! *********************************************************************** Version 2.1 12/9/01 - Added the bulletproof Securicar, a few extra things on the Dodo, and a few corrections to the Ambulance missions. *********************************************************************** Version 2.2 12/14/01 - More reader's notes. I moved my email policy to the start of the walkthrough so some of you people will actually read the thing. Also added the Best Places to Fight the Police. *********************************************************************** Version 2.3 12/19/01 - Some more unique jumps, more reader's notes, more corrections, the usual. Also, I now have a section on an bulletproof Bobcat. *********************************************************************** Version 2.4 12/26/01 - Hope you had a good Christmas. All I am adding is more reader's notes, and to tell you of a curious bug I found. I had a bug in a taxi mission once when a fare slammed the door EXACTLY when time ran out. I had infinite time for the rest of the taxi mission. So, possibly this bug can work with all the other emergency vehicle missions. It would be a real big help in Paramedic, that's for sure. This also works in the Offroad missions, as said by Jason Hulance. See below. *********************************************************************** Version 2.5 12/29/01 - I have added even more reader's notes, and I'm afraid I'm gonna have to start making restrictions. Submissions will work on a "first come, first served" policy, meaning whoever submits a certain tip first will be credited for it and get his message posted. Also, if you have found an easy way to get through the mission using a cheat code, then DON'T send it in. I want no cheating methods to get through levels. I only want legit methods. *********************************************************************** Version 2.6 1/01/02 - HAPPY NEW YEAR! Anyway, nothing but reader's notes. *********************************************************************** Version 2.7 1/04/02 - Well, this is now my first 200 KB+ document, and it's thanks to all you readers! Anyway, I believe it has been confirmed the time limit code works for all emergency vehicle missions, because I have had a bug in the minimission Taxi Driver, and Tom Severson has had the same bug in the Fire Fighter missions. *********************************************************************** Version 3.0 1/10/02 - Since so many of you are intent to use cheat codes, I have finally filled up my cheat codes section. I have also placed more reader's notes in, and I read through the walkthrough a little, to standardize the format throughout this guide. A lot of you seem to be real intent on getting your info into my guide, so intent you'll submit the tiniest tips. I am afraid I am going to have to place more restrictions in this guide. - I only want walkthroughs that differ a lot from what is already in the guide. This especially means don't submit me the same walkthrough in my guide, where the only difference is you recommend a specific car. - If a mission already has three different reader walkthroughs up, don't expect another one to get one posted. *********************************************************************** Version 3.1 1/18/02 - After today's reader walkthroughs are put in, I am not going to be accepting any more walkthroughs. I cannot and will not try to cover every mission from every angle with every possible way. I also will no longer accept game bugs or ways to get vehicles, especially FBI Cars or Rhinos. I am starting a renovation of this FAQ today. Expect to see some big errors as I try to get everything rearranged the way I want it. *********************************************************************** Version 3.5 2/6/02 - I have added a lot of things today, including a section about the Ghost Town, a Frequently Asked Questions section, and some more reader submissions. *********************************************************************** Version 3.6 2/23/02 - I added two new Rampages, even more submissions, and more questions have been added to the Frequently Asked Questions section. Also a few questions have been revised with better answers. *********************************************************************** Version 3.7 3/12/02 - I added four new Rampages, more questions to the Frequently Asked Questions section, the Bulletproof Securicar, proofread the document again, and of course reader submissions. *********************************************************************** Version 4.0 3/24/02 - Well, my first 200 KB+ document has now become my first 300 KB+ document! It's incredible that this huge document started out as just 136 KB. Anyway, after much procrastination, I finally started my work on the Hidden Packages section. I completed the Rampages walkthrough! Like usual, more readers submissions are being posted. This guide is finally nearing it's completion. I'm pretty excited. *********************************************************************** Version 4.5 4/3/02 - At long last, every major section in the guide is completed! After I tie up some loose ends here and there, I can finally call this guide complete. I've also done a major revision on all reader submissions so they are easier to read for others. My apologies if anyone doesn't like me altering their messages for any reason. *********************************************************************** Version 4.6 4/14/02 - I added even more reader submissions. *********************************************************************** Version 4.7 4/28/02 - I corrected some errors in the Hidden Packages section. It's been driving some of my readers crazy. I also added some questions to the Frequently Asked Questions section, and another way to get the Everything-Proof Stretch. *********************************************************************** Version 5.0 6/11/02 - I corrected some glaring errors in the walkthrough, and added a list of all the locations of parked cars and weapons. I might follow up with a list for items like health if I feel like it. *********************************************************************** Version 5.01 6/17/07 - Heh, not much to see here. Just removing the credits of someone who wanted his name taken out of my guide, and a little email change. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3: E-mail Policy I have received a lot of stupid e-mail in the past, but now it is starting to get ridiculous so I am going to start enforcing what kinds of messages will and will not get answered. Please DO: - read the document before sending a question. If you have time to waste your life away on video games, then you have enough time to scan my document for a few minutes for an answer to a problem. - read the Frequently Asked Questions section before sending a question. You may find the answer you are looking for there. - put the name of the game in the message topic. It makes it A LOT easier for me to pick out which messages are on games and which are not. Also if the name is not there, I might accidentally delete it, thinking it is junk mail. - use grammar and spelling correctly. I won't be able to understand you if you write some garbage like: "hym an dou ha vecodez furt his game?" - send a message in English. I can barely read Spanish, let alone translate Japanese. You wouldn't believe how many messages I have received in some foreign languages that I don't even know which continent they are from. Please DO NOT: - be too formal. I won't get mad or anything if you do, but I feel kind of silly when I get overly formal messages that sound like business contracts. - be too INformal. Don't use lots of slang, or get lax in your punctuation and capitalization. - write the title of the message as "About your walkthrough" or something vague like that. - forget to include the name of the game in the message or on the title. I am not a psychic. I cannot tell what game you are after if you do not include the name in it. - add me to your MSN Messenger buddy list. I have way too many contacts now thanks to this guide. Besides, I DO have a life outside of GTA3 and don't have the time to chat with all of you about it anyway. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4: General Strategies ***************** 4A - LIBERTY CITY ***************** "Welcome to Liberty City, the Worst Place in America." - Instruction Manual, page 2 As said above, the town you are looking for work in here is Liberty City. Liberty City is divided into three islands, which are unlocked through completing missions. After escaping from the prison truck you were being transported in the opening, you'll begin in Portland, the industrial sector. After doing work for several employers here, the Callahan Bridge, which was destroyed in the opening, will be repaired so you can cross over to Staunton Island. After working for more new employers here, the Shoreside Lift Bridge will be fixed, giving you access to the final island, Shoreside Vale. Be careful returning to islands you have already completed the missions on, especially Portland. Your enemies will be all over you there because of the mayhem you created earlier. The mission you must finish in Portland to open up Staunton Island is "Last Requests" by Salvatore Leone, and the mission you must complete in Staunton Island to open up Shoreside Vale is "A Drop in the Ocean" by Donald Love. ************* 4B - CONTROLS ************* ON FOOT ======= TRIANGLE - Enter a vehicle CIRCLE - Use a weapon or your fists X - Run SQUARE - Jump L2, R2 - Change weapons L1 - Center camera R1 - Target pedestrian D PAD, LEFT STICK - Move SELECT - Change camera view START - Bring up pause menu R3 - Look behind you IN A VEHICLE ============ TRIANGLE - Exit a vehicle (car must be slowed or stopped) CIRCLE - Use the Uzi if holding L2 or R2, not both X - Accelerate SQUARE - Brake L2, R2 - Look left or right, if pressed together look behind L1 - Change radio station R1 - Handbrake D PAD, LEFT STICK - Move RIGHT STICK - Rotate turrent (Fire Truck and Rhino only), or hydraulics tricks in Yardie Lobo SELECT - Change camera view START - Bring up pause menu L3 - Horn, light tap activates siren, or activates hydraulics in Yardie Lobo R3 - Trigger vehicle mission if inside a special vehicle ************* 4C - VEHICLES ************* GETTING IN VEHICLES =================== To enter any unlocked vehicle, be it car, train, boat, or plane, press TRIANGLE. Press TRIANGLE to get out. The best way to stop a moving car is to stand in front of it or leave another car in front it to make the driver stop, then quickly move to the side door and push the driver out. CARJACKING ========== Some people will see what you are packing, and will gladly hand over their car if you try to take it. But others may try to fight back if you stick around. Also beware that there are other carjackers who will attempt to steal your ride as well. When traveling through rough territory like Chinatown, be careful. If you stop for too long, enemy gang member around will try to throw you out of the car! Jacking a police vehicle is a little trickier. Unlike every other dim-witted motorist in the city, they actually lock their doors. If you attempt to jack a police car on the road, the door lock will stop you and the cop will jump out to arrest you. Fortunately, after he slams his door, all the doors will be unlocked. Wait until you hear his door slam or the lock will still stop you. IMO the best way to jack a police car is to try to open the passenger side door, let the cop slam the driver's side door, then open your door and zoom away fast before the cop can wrench open the door again and arrest you. Jacking a gang car is also a little trickier than a civilian vehicle. If you take a gang car, all his fellow gang members and cars in the area will immediately swarm over you to kick your butt. You had best get away as fast as you can. Also beware parked cars. Some of the parked cars you see have their doors locked, and sometimes the car alarm will activate if you take one of them. You should wait in a quiet area for the alarm to stop, because if a cop sees you driving a vehicle with the car alarm on, he's going to try to stop you. WHEN IT'S TIME TO BAIL OUT ========+================= You should abandon the vehicle you are in if its about to be destroyed. If your car catches fire, GET OUT. That's the signal your car is about to explode, and it's going to take anything around it with it. Also your car has flipped over on its top and won't go back up, then get away fast because the car will catch fire soon and blow up. ************ 4D - HIDEOUT ************ This is where you save your game and store a car(s). If you put a vehicle in the garage, it will be automatically repaired for free, even if it's a blown up car. This is also where the extra goodies are stored, which you have earned by doing the emergency vehicle missions. There will always be a Baseball Bat here though. Once you get pickups at your hideouts, you can accumulate great amounts of ammo by constantly leaving then reentering your hideout area, entering and exiting your garage, or going to the save point and then exiting again. ********** 4E - SHOPS ********** There are three types of shops you can visit in Liberty City for your illegal needs. Learn where each kind of shop is in which district. AMMU-NATION =========== This is where you can buy guns, and they don't require ID, because everyone is trustworthy here! There is one in Portland and one in Staunton, but not one in Shoreside Vale. PAY AND SPRAY ============= Here, you can take any car (as long as its not a law enforcement or emergency vehicle, minus the FBI Car) and get it repaired and resprayed for $1000. This will remove your wanted level, no matter how high it is, so if you can't get away from the police, come here. If your car is totally undamaged, you can get your car in a different color for free as many times as you want. Just drive back and forth in and out of the garage until you have the color you want. 8-BALL'S BOMB SHOP ================== Here is where you can get a car rigged with a bomb for $1000. Press Circle to activate it. Each bomb shop in each district provides a different kind of bomb. The Portland bomb shop will give out ignition bombs. When you arm the bomb, the car will explode when the engine is next ignited. The Staunton Island bomb shop will give out timed bombs. After arming the bomb and leaving the car, the bomb will explode after a certain amount of time. The Shoreside Vale bomb shop will give out remote control bombs. After arming the bomb, leave your vehicle and get a safe distance away. Cycle through your weapons until you find a detonator. Use the fire button to set off the bomb. ************************** 4F - GETTING BUSTED/WASTED ************************** BUSTED ====== This is what will happen if you knocked down by a cop with a wanted level. You will then be warped to the police station. You'll lose all the weapons you had, some money, and if you were working on a mission at the time, you will fail it. WANTED LEVEL ============ This indicates how badly the cops want to get you. In Portland, the maximum rating you can get is 4, after reaching Staunton 5, and after reaching Shoreside you can finally get 6 stars. I'm saying this so you people won't whine to me about not being able to get past five. I will tell you what the stars mean: 1 STAR - The police seem to be more interested in finishing their donuts than catching you. Usually there will be only one car with one cop in it chasing you if there's anyone at all. 2 STARS - Now it gets a little challenging. More patrol cars will come, and there are two cops inside each one. 3 STARS - The police are really starting to get fed up with you at this point. There will be many cars in pursuit, and they'll even call a helicopter to the scene to follow and shoot at you. They will also start setting up roadblocks. 4 STARS - The pigs are now ready to shut you down. SWAT trucks full of guys with Uzis will begin coming after you, and there will be police cars everywhere you turn, not to mention barricades of SWAT trucks. 5 STARS - Prepare for big trouble if you manage to last long enough to get this far. The police will leave, and let the FBI take over. They'll chase you in really fast black cars, and each one of them has four FBI agents, each equipped with an AK-47. You'd better find somewhere to hide or you WILL get taken down. 6 STARS - Okay, the police are now so desperate they have called in the NATIONAL GUARD! They will come after you with freaking' huge trucks, and TANKS even! Consider suicide... LOWERING A WANTED LEVEL ======================= Find a police bribe, which looks like a blue disc with a star on it. This will take a star off your wanted meter. To get your wanted level down completely, take any car other than an emergency vehicle, minus the FBI Car, to the Pay and Spray and your car will be resprayed so the cops can't recognize you. It costs $1000 but its definitely worth it if the FBI or worse is breathing down your neck. If you have one star and there are not any cops around, don't do anything and the star will go away by itself. Police will come when you fire guns repeatedly, even if you aren't shooting at anything, so shun every weapon except your fist and the baseball bat to keep your level down. Completing a mission will cause you to lose your wanted level completely also, so if you are near mission completion, don't bother hunting for Police Bribes or going to the Pay and Spray. RAISING A WANTED LEVEL ====================== I am assuming you are trying to do this so you can get hold of a tank or an FBI car. There are lots of good ways to do this. You can: - fire weapons (even if they aren't aimed at anything) - blow up lots of cars - kill lots of pedestrians - steal lots of cars The fastest ways to raise your stars up from nothing are going after the police: - Try to jack a police car with a cop in it - Shoot at a police car, even if there's no cop inside it - Kill a civilian in front of a cop - Steal a car in front of a cop - Blow up police cars - Kill lots of cops - Blow up helicopters (this will take you up one star the first time you shoot one down during a chase) IMO the best way to kill lots of officers on foot to quickly raise the wanted level is to get out of your car. The officers will then get out of their cars, and you can easily run them over. WASTED ====== Notice you have a health meter in the upper-right corner. When it runs out, you are wasted. You'll get transported to the hospital, lose some money and all your guns, and you'll fail any mission you were working on then. Save your game frequently so you can load your game again to get your guns back. Don't go into deep water or your character will drown very quickly. ********** 4G - GANGS ********** Gangs are a big part of Liberty City. Each district has several gangs that you can work for, work against, or even both. GANG TACTICS ============ - HATRED You'll be making many enemies in Liberty City aside from the cops. This is not a perfect city like the ones in Driver 1 and Driver 2 were. As you do missions for gangs, you'll be making other gangs angry and causing them to hate you for the rest of the game. Once a gang begins to hate you, there's no way to make them like you again. This causes big problems if you decide to skip over doing all the side quests while playing the main game, like the Rampages, the Hidden Packages, the Emergency Vehicle missions, etc. Some of the side quests you have to do can become almost impossible. I STRONGLY encourage you to get all the side missions done in each district before you begin working on the Career or Phone Missions. It'll make things a lot easier on you in the future. If a gang hates you, they'll shoot at you every time you pass through their territory. If you stop your car, they'll also run over and try to throw you out of your car so they can surround you and beat you up. Never stop while passing through enemy territory. - JACKING GANG CARS Getting a gang car is a little trickier than stealing a civilian car. If you steal a gang car in front of other gang members or gang cars, they will all come over and attack you. Guys on foot will shoot at you while other cars will try to ram into you. If it's not too much trouble, steal gang cars from gang members when you don't see any of his friends around. - CAR SHIELD TRICK I invented this trick myself. If you stand behind a car like it's a shield while shooting at enemy gang members, they won't be able to shoot back at you while you're behind the car. They have to run all the way around the car before they can attack. This is extremely helpful in missions where you have to kill enemies fortified behind obstacles like boxes. This trick won't work though if the enemy is standing above you, and it won't work on cops. Cops will still fire over the car to hit you. These are the profiles of the gangs. WARNING!!! MASSIVE SPOILERS WITHIN!!! MAFIA ===== Leader - Salvatore Leone Car - Mafia Sentinel Clothes - tuxedos, some have sunglasses Weapons - Handgun, Shotgun Territory - Saint Mark's/Portland This is the first gang you'll work for. They have a lot of control over Portland, but several rival gangs have recently begun to try to upset their reign, like the Triads. They run the Red Light District too. Their cars are great, and so are their guns. Their gang is like one big family, and they stress family values. But watch out later though when they decide to betray you. You'll never be able to wander around in Saint Mark's ever again, because those shotguns blow up your cars real fast. You'll just be driving down the street in Saint Mark's, and all of a sudden, BOOM! DIABLOS ======= Leader - El Burro Car - Diablo Stallion Clothes - Denim, red and blue bandanas, jeans Weapons - Baseball Bat, Handgun Territory - Hepburn Heights/Portland These guys are small time. Their cars are really cool though, with those flames on the side. Most of their business involves the production of adult literature. Even after they dislike you, it's still no big deal to travel through their territory because all they have is bats. Occasionally one will pull a pistol though, but hardly at all. TRIADS ====== Leader - ??? Car - Triad Fish Truck Clothes - blue suits Weapons - Baseball Bat, Handgun Territory - Chinatown They will be your biggest enemy in Portland. They don't do much like the Diablos. Their vans aren't much of a big deal either. Their business is running Mr. Wong's Launderette, and the production of artificial fish. It's real funny to walk through Chinatown and hear the stupid phrases they call out: "Somebody call a medic!" "I see pain in your future!" "And the winner by knockout is..." "Easy, dragon-breath!" COLUMBIAN CARTEL ================ Leaders - Catalina, Miguel Car - Cartel Cruiser Clothes - Hawaiian shirts, jeans, leather boots, hats with crocidile teeth on them Weapons - Uzi, AK47 Territory - Fort Staunton/Staunton Island, Cedar Grove/Shoreside Vale These guys are your main enemy throughout the game. Nearly every gang in Liberty City despises them, except the Yardies. They produce a drug called SPANK, which is their main cash flow. Catalina, their leader, is the woman who shot you in the chest at the start of the game. You used to work for them until Catalina shot you. They hate you a lot and their automatic weapons are pretty powerful. Their trucks have a cool purr in their motor, but I don't like driving them. A lot of the missions you do against the Cartel involve stopping their SPANK business. It's kind of funny how this excessively violent game carries an anti-drug message. YAKUZA ====== Leaders - Asuka, Kenji Car - Yakuza Stinger Clothes - Business suits Weapons - Handgun, Uzi Territory - Torrington These fine people will be the first gang you'll work for in Staunton Island, and you'll work for them for most of the rest of the game. Their cars are awesome. The Yakuza Stinger is really fast, yet still can absorb a good amount of damage. Their business is gambling and their casino is their main cash source. They are one of the few gangs that likes you for the whole game. They hate the Cartel a lot and most of their missions involve halting their drug operations here. They also have a lot of crooked cops under their payroll in the police department so the cops will ignore them. YARDIES ======= Leader - King Courtney Car - Yardie Lobo Clothes - tan pants and vest, black shirt, black hat. Weapons - Baseball bat, Handgun Territory - Newport You'll work for these guys a little during the game. They're just about the only gang in Liberty City that's openly on the side of the Cartel. Their business is selling the Cartel's SPANK for them. They're small time and aren't any big deal really. Their car is really cool though. If you use the L3 and R3 buttons, you can play with the special hydraulics on them. L3 causes the car to raise and lower its ride height, and R3 tilts the car in the direction you push. RED JACKS ========= Leader - D-Ice Car - Hoods Rumpo XL Clothes - black baseball cap and pants, red shirt Weapons - Handgun, Uzi Territory - Wichita Gardens They are small time like all the other optional gangs, but I like working for these guys anyway. Most of the vans in this game stink, but their vans rule! The Hoods Rumpo XL drives real fast and is real tough, kind of like a van owned certain mohawk-toting, gold-chain wearing soldier of fortune... They don't seem to have any kind of special business that supports them other than stealing valuables. They wish to get rid of the Purple Nines, who are moving in on their territory. PURPLE NINES ============ Leader - ??? Car - Hoods Rumpo XL Clothes - black baseball cap and pants, purple shirt Weapons - Handgun, Uzi Territory - Wichita Gardens These guys are the smallest gang in Liberty City. They are almost exactly like the Red Jacks in every way except for their purple shirts. They drive the same vehicles, they wear similar clothes, they just steal to support themselves, etc. The Red Jacks want these guys gone because they are invading their territory. After you complete the final mission for the Red Jacks, these guys will vanish completely. ************* 4H - MISSIONS ************* REQUIREMENTS TO COMPLETE ALL MISSIONS ===================================== I have received many pleas for help from people who can't complete all 73 missions in the game for one reason or another, so below, I will list the exact requirements to defeat every mission: - All Career Missions - All Phone Missions, including the ones by Marty Chonks - All four RC Car missions - All four Offroad missions This is all the requirements to get your Missions Completed counter filled up. These are things that WON'T bring your Missions Completed count up: - Emergency Vehicle missions - Rampage missions - Hidden packages - Import/Export Garage, Emergency Vehicle Crane - Anything else If you still can't beat some missions, it's probably because you are not completing all bosses before you have unlocked the next island. If you do LAST REQUESTS by Salvatore or A DROP IN THE OCEAN by Donald Love before doing a minor boss's missions on that island, like Joey, then the minor boss will stop giving work. Complete bosses' missions in the order you meet them to get around this. Also, later in the game, you will be told to kill off someone. This someone is vital towards getting all your missions done. Be sure not to kill this person, until you have completed all the missions that he gives out. If you want to know who this important guy is, then read the walkthrough. Warning though, it will spoil the story. CAREER MISSIONS =============== Big-time crime leaders in Liberty City give these missions. You can find them on your map. Their first initial indicates their location. For example, the letter L on the map indicates Luigi. Be sure to do the bosses in the order you meet with them, so you won't become a victim of the occurrence that is listed above PHONE MISSIONS ============== These missions are given to you via public phones located around Liberty City. They aren't necessary to completing the game, but you will need to finish them if you want to get 100%. EMERGENCY VEHICLE MISSIONS ========================== Certain vehicles you can hijack have special missions which you can trigger by pressing the R3 button. These special missions are: ********************************************************************** Taxi Driver - If you have a Taxi, Cabbie, or Borgnine Taxi you can go pick up people and drive them to their destinations around the city for cash. If you get there quickly enough you'll get a Speed Bonus. If you smash up your car bad, people will refuse to get in your taxi, or will get out if already inside. The easiest place to do this is Portland, because there aren't roads on top of other roads like in Staunton Island or Shoreside Vale. Your reward for accumulating 100 fares, not in order or in certain district, is the Borgnine Taxi in Harwood. You will find it parked at the Borgnine Taxis garage, a little down the street from the El Burro phone. I had a bug in a taxi mission once when a fare slammed the door EXACTLY when time ran out. I had infinite time for the rest of the taxi mission. So, possibly this bug can work with all the other emergency vehicle missions. It would be a real big help in Paramedic, that's for sure. This also works in the Offroad missions, see below. ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** Vigilante - If you have a Police Car, Enforcer, FBI Car, or Rhino, you can pose as a police officer and eliminate criminals fleeing in their getaway cars. Follow the dot to the criminal, then do whatever it takes to kill the criminal for a cash reward. IMO the best vehicle for this mission is the Police Car, because it's well rounded. The Enforcer may be tough, but it's too slow to be useful in keeping up with those fast criminals. The FBI Car may be fast, but it's a little TOO fast. Unless you're good with the handbrake it has a nasty habit of spinning out. The Rhino has the distinct edge of having a cannon and being almost indestructible, but it's horribly slow unless you are aiming the cannon behind you and firing repeatedly. Some good ways to make the criminal bail out of his vehicle are to trap him in a corner so he can't move, drive-by him a lot, or ram him a lot. There is a bug that has been discovered by the guys at the www.gamefaqs.com GTA3 messageboard, and it makes these missions really easy. If you are nearby a criminal, but not touching him, you can hit start then unpause. The criminal will ALWAYS get out of his vehicle if you do this, and you can run him down easily. Your reward for getting 10 kills in one district is a Police Bribe at your hideout. If you get 20 kills in one district you'll get a second Police Bribe, but no more. You'll need to do more somewhere else. ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** Paramedic - If you get an Ambulance, then there is this mission where you can act as a paramedic and pick up wounded people, then take them to the hospital for cash. Any bumps will take away from the timer and lessen your patients' chances of survival. This has a strict time limit. You get more time by dropping off two or three people at the hospital and picking up patients. This is considered by most to be the hardest of all the Emergency Vehicle Missions, so I will give a little help. Your ambulance is IMO among the easiest of the vehicles in the game to flip over. You have to treat this vehicle much more gently. Brake BEFORE you begin turning, then accelerate only AFTER you have crossed the apex of the corner. This should help in keeping you on your wheels. This mission also requires more strategy than the other missions because your ambulance can only hold three patients. You need to make regular drop-offs at the hospital. Be careful about dropping off only one guy, because sometimes you won't get a time bonus for that. It's much better to drop off two at a time. Be careful with the siren. It may make cars get out of the way, but some will become confused and swerve INTO you instead of away. Your driving has to be as flawless as possible because remember any bump will take away precious seconds from your time limit. Your reward for saving 35 people is a Health Icon at your hideout. Get 70 people and you will get an Adrenaline Pill at your hideout. If you manage to get to Ambulance Level 12, you will receive Infinite Run, enabling you to run forever without having to catch your breath. I've had lots of complaints that people don't get their rewards when they're supposed to on patients rescued. For example, I didn't get Infinite Run until I was at 78 people. Just keep rescuing people and you'll get your reward eventually. The easiest place to do this mission is Portland, because Portland has the least confusing layout. I recommend you don't make the gangs angry there before you've gotten Ambulance Level 12 completed. ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** Fire Fighter - Lastly, if you get a Fire Truck, you can go around the city putting out car fires for rewards. Use the right stick to aim the hose on top. It takes practice to drive the large fire truck, but if you use the handbrake it turns much better. This is the best way to find the elusive Mr. Whoopee van for your Import/Export garage in Portland. Your reward for putting out 20 fires in each district (60 altogether) is a Flame-thrower at your hideout. Tom Severson has experienced the infinite time bug in this mission as well, so I guess it's safe to say that this time bug can work in all emergency vehicle missions. He said it occurred when he put out a fire exactly as time ran out. ********************************************************************** ####################################################################### You can do a taxi mission in any car you like. This is accomplished by finding a taxi then pressing R3 and holding it down, then you must get in to the car you wish to do the missions in. release it as you enter and taxi missions will start. Submitted by: Kyle Davey ####################################################################### I've also heard this can work on some of the other emergency vehicle missions, try it out. I don't think it would be good to do with a fire truck though, because it's the only vehicle that has that hose. RAMPAGE MISSIONS ================ You get these missions by finding an item that looks like a blue circle with a skull on it. What you must do in these missions is kill a certain amount of something, like blow up x amount of cars with a certain gun. OFFROAD MISSIONS ================ There are certain vehicles scattered about Liberty City which will trigger this kind of mission if you jump into them. In these missions you must hit every checkpoint that appears within a time limit. Really tough to do. ####################################################################### I have accidentally discovered a cheat/bug/feature which has made the checkpoint missions A Ride In The Park and Multi-Storey Mayhem a heck of a lot easier. I've been trying to get it to work on Patriot Playground, too, but no luck so far. Collect a checkpoint just after the time runs out, i.e., catch it just before it disappears. You'll then be able to complete the checkpoints without the timer! You need to get your timing right but it's easy to try again, and a little less frustrating than missing the last checkpoint (with the timer on). I can guarantee that this works for A Ride In The Park and Multi-Storey Mayhem (my stats list me as completing them in 20 seconds!). Like I said, I'm having trouble getting it to work on Patriot Playground. So if it's a bug then it's pretty specific. I'd like to think it was a great feature (or a cheat). Submitted by: Jason Hulance ####################################################################### I would like to add a little of my own info to this. I had a similar bug in a taxi mission when a fare slammed the door EXACTLY when time ran out. I had infinite time for the rest of the taxi mission. Tom Severson also got this same bug to occur in the Fire Fighter missions, when he extinguished a fire exactly when time ran out. So, possibly this bug can work with all the other emergency vehicle missions. It would be a real big help in Paramedic, that's for sure. TOYZ MISSIONS ============= There are four of these vans around Liberty City, marked with a TOYZ logo. When you get in them, you will gain control of an explosive RC car and will be asked to blow up as many cars from a certain gang as possible. ********* 4I - GUNS ********* FISTS ===== You will have this all the time, obviously. Its better than nothing, but you won't get far with it. Each punch and kick only drains a small amount of health. BASEBALL BAT ============ This is the easiest weapon to find. There will always be a bat outside your hideout. It only takes three strikes and the enemy's out. Just knock them over with the first swing, and hit them on the ground to kill them easy. Don't try to use it against someone with a gun of course. HANDGUN ======= This is the first firearm you will get. It's weak, but at least you don't have to be right next to your target to strike. It will get the job done, though with a fair amount of trouble. One good thing though is that you can fire on the run, something heavier weapons can't do. UZI === This one of the BEST guns in the game because its so versatile. It spits out lead real quick, you can fire on the run, and in fact it's the only gun you can do DRIVE-BYS with it! Just enter a car, and the Uzi is equipped automatically. Hold down the L2 or R2 button, and press Circle to fire out the side window. It's hard to aim well at first, but you'll get better with practice. This is great to have if a cop pulls up beside you and is sideswiping you. SHOTGUN ======= This is an extremely powerful gun, but it's hard to amass a lot of ammo for it because it's not for sale anywhere until late in the game. You can get one of these and five free shells if you get inside a police car though. It's VERY powerful up close. Anybody standing in the general direction you fire is going to be seriously maimed if not dead. It's also excellent for blowing up cars. Just two or three up close shots is all that is necessary to get the engine on fire. Be careful though, its slow firing and you have to stand still when you use it. Below is a way to make your shotgun fire much more quickly. ####################################################################### This trick only works if you've got many targets (Enemies or Pedestrians) that you wanna take out. Anyway, if you hold the Circle button, and keep tapping R1 really fast, your shotgun will fire each time you change the target. The faster you change targets, the faster the gun goes off. It's pretty cool just to walk into a crowd of people, and just unload on them. Submitted by: J.T. ####################################################################### AK-47 ===== This weapon is more accurate and has more powerful bullets than the Uzi, but its weakened by the fact you must stand still while firing, and can't use it in a car. M16 === This is the best rapid-fire gun for blowing up cars. It also has a scope to use for more accurate shots. If you empty a clip into a car, it'll blow up real fast. This is only one of two guns that can blow up helicopters. Aim for the rotor. SNIPER RIFLE ============ I LOVE this gun. It has a long-range scope for accurate shots at a distance. It's perfect for assassinations. Use Square to zoom in, and X to zoom out. You can only fire when you are looking through the scope. ROCKET LAUNCHER =============== THE weapon of the game. One shot will destroy any vehicle, except for the tank, and the massive explosion will take down entire crowds of people. Be careful not to fire near a wall or a vehicle or the explosion may hit YOU too. It's very rare and expensive to use, so don't foolishly waste your shots. This the second weapon that's effective against helicopters. FLAME-THROWER ============ This will be your best buddy if gang members surround you. Wave it around and watch everyone burn to death. Just don't let anyone on fire touch you or you'll catch fire also. This weapon is good for blowing up damaged vehicles, and especially good on tanks. (submitted by Joshua) It has a special ability of penetrating walls. Just hide behind a wall, press the fire button, and listen to everyone on the other side scream in agony. MOLTOV COCKTAIL =============== This weapon is better at catching things on fire than blowing them up. Throw it in a crowd and everybody will burn up. Like the Flame-thrower, its good for damaged vehicles, and the tank. (submitted by Joshua) The longer you hold Circle the farther you'll throw it. This weapon can also penetrate walls like the Flame-thrower. CAN BE FOUND AT - Portland/Saint Marks/in the tunnel behind 8-Ball's Bomb Shop. Kill the tramps in there to get them. Staunton Island/Liberty Campus/on one of the porches of the dorm buildings. Shoreside Vale/Pike Creek/storage lot behind police station, on sale for $5,000 GRENADE ======= This operates like a Molotov Cocktail, but you use this for vehicle destruction instead. It's hard to aim accurately enough to hit a moving vehicle though. Best-used on stationary targets, like an opposing gang car stuck in a traffic jam. ********** 4J - ITEMS ********** HEART ===== This will replenish your health to 100 again. You can find them at hospitals, and in some out of the way places on each island. It looks like a heart. BODY ARMOR ========== This gives you an extra life meter, for armor strength. You can buy them at the Ammu-nation in Staunton, you can find them inside Enforcers, or you can look for them throughout the islands yourself. It looks like a green shield. RAMPAGE ICON ============ This begins a rampage, where you must kill a certain amount of something in a limited amount of time with one particular gun. They look like a skull, and are pretty tricky to find. Look at my Rampage FAQ for a listing on where they are. POLICE BRIBE ============ These take your wanted level down by one. They look like a yellow star and are in out of the way places. ADRENALINE PILL =============== This gives you superhuman strength outside of a vehicle, and produces Matrix-like effects. If you punch someone they'll fly 20 feet away. You can also damage vehicles just by running into them and push them much better than if you were using your normal strength. It looks like a pill of course. ***************************** 4K - General GTA3 Tip by Paul ***************************** Paul, one of my readers, wrote this long general tip. I know some of this stuff already, but since Paul put it so well, I'll let him say it. Take it away Paul!: ####################################################################### I found this particularly helpful. After beating the game and going back and doing all the extra stuff I decided to start all over again with a different mindset. I Basically did all the side stuff first, like Vigilante missions, Fire-Truck, Ambulance, Rampages, finding the packages, etc. Approach it this way on all three islands, only doing that particular island's "career missions" after completing the side missions first. This has a few really cool benefits: 1. You accumulate literally a ton of money VERY fast. I think I had like almost two million dollars before I did so much a single Louigi mission!! 2. As previously stated, in this and other FAQ's, the gangs don't hate you yet. And this is particularly helpful when doing all the cool extra stuff. 3. I have found even the rampages a tad easier for the same reason as #2, because the gangs aren't automatically on the prowl for your sorry ass as soon as you step out on the street with your rampage weapon in hand. You basically are taking them by surprise, and often can be well into your killing frenzy before they realize you are snuffing them out! Otherwise they will overwhelm you, more often than not, right at the outset. This is also true for many of the off road missions as well, on all three islands. 4. Many of the COOL cars only available on Stauten Island and Shoreside Vale will appear very often if you do your Vigilante and Fire-Truck missions right off. And so what if you end your missions and get less money when you have to start them again? I had the Yakuza Stinger and other sports cars before doing a single career missions on Portland, let alone having access to Stauton! 5. You start off with some pretty potent weapons and tons of ammo (more rounds than you will ever need in fact). You will ALWAYS have better weapons at your disposal than you really require for ANY mission in the game, because you will have also found all the hidden weapons, have plenty of recurring power-ups in your hideout, including weapons, Police bribes, health and adrenaline. Hey it's real nice to have the Rocket Launcher and the M-16, with enough Mortars to take out the entire city, long before you even get your Shoreside Vale missions underway because....HELLO!! You found all hundred packages! J OH! And Make sure when doing your Vigilante missions, to LOOK for dropped weapons from your road-kills! I had tons of Shotgun, Uzi and AK-47 rounds very early on this way, because you won't yet have enough packages accumulated to have access to these weapons as hideout power-ups! Here's a for instance: I was going nuts with the Yardley mission where you have to go to Portland and waste the Diablo's. One thing that was very helpful, not to mention dirt cheap, was I would waste a few Diablo's, and run right around the corner to my hideout (where I had accumulated 4 recurring Police bribes by now), eat one or two and then run right outside and continue with the hunt, unencumbered by law enforcement interference, until I got another star or two, then back to the hideout and drive into the police bribes (which reappear as soon as you get a few feet from your hideout!). I cannot tell you how many times in the middle of missions I just detoured into the old hideout, on whatever island I was on, for a few seconds to eat a few Police Bribe power-ups, and then back to the mayhem! If you know the city (And hopefully you do if you did the side missions first), then as long as you are anywhere near an island's hideout even the timed missions wont suffer all that much from your little detours! 6. You are sure to run into all those hard to find vehicles (like Mr. Whoopie and the Securicar!!) very early on. I had Mr. Whoopie LONG before my first Luigi mission and the Securicar halfway through my Stauton Island missions. 7. You will get to know the lay of the land very well. You will really know your way around neighborhoods, landmarks, the way to all the tunnels and bridges, hospitals, police stations, 8-Ball, etc. And this REALLY cuts down on a lot of the frustration, especially in those timed missions if you are only following a blip on the radar, and really don't know all the cool detours and shortcuts. You will also have a decent idea where all the power-ups are located. Side note: Since the weapons power-ups in your hideouts regenerate infinitely whenever you leave and return to your hideout and often when you save a game, go from hideout to hideout, get into the habit of gobbling them up whenever you see them. You will be surprised at how fast you stockpile your supply of ammo with this approach! This will make that last career mission of the game a lot easier, not being limited to three Rocket Launcher shots against the helicopter (Although by now, hopefully you have killed SO MANY Heli's in your travels that you should only really need one anyway so there!) And of course if you have the tank by then...Fuggeddaboudit! Another side note: You will have a blast, for example, in the very early missions where, normally you would be lucky if you have a pistol with 33 bullets in it; and now you have, say the Uzi with several thousand rounds and you just drive by the people you are supposed to beat up, baseball bat, or try to shoot to death with your little pistola! The Flamethrower was particularly fun against some of the Chinatown gang-members, Mafia thugs, etc. Oops but wait! I wasn't supposed to find that on top of the radio station yet (LOL not to mention revisit it 3 or 4 times early on, so I had plenty of spare napalm!), same thing with the shotgun and AK-47. Diablo's got you down? Forget the baseball bat! Lob a few grenades at 'em! For example, in the mission, DON'T SPANK MA BITCH UP: Who needs the baseball bat or even the car to run him over? Not you! Because you have...NAPALM! LOL In Kenji's first mission on Stauton Island, "Hanbu Bust-Out", After busting the guy out of prison and heading out of the parking lot, I just detoured a few blocks north to my hideout where, by this time in the game, there were four Police Bribes sitting there waiting for me. I really did try to get more to this point! But the other two police Bribe power ups, kind of like the flamethrower appearing for Fire-truck missions, requires you to be on Shoreside Vale, or at least to have access to the island. By the way, it is so much fun to watch the police cars that follow you into your hideout, if you have police bribes in there, and you use them to get your wanted level all the way down to zero. Because, there is a cool bug in the game where the cops don't always just leave, but instead either drive around in aimless circles or ram into the wall and keep driving, spinning their wheels while they go nowhere against the wall! And NO I don't consider using Police Bribes in my hideouts to be a cheat! Hey I earned my little cubbyhole of corruption so GET off my back about it okay? J Seriously, you have no idea how much fun it is to do many of the missions you are "over qualified" for (at least with regard to your arsenal anyway) over and over again, reloading previous saves, just to find new and interesting ways of killing people to complete the missions! In "Evidence Dash", one of the Ray missions, After ramming the prosecutions' vehicle and collecting the evidence, which of course raised my wanted level, I just stole a cop car, drove it into my hideout, ate the bribes and blew up the car right in my hideout...ChaChing! This also worked very effectively in "A Drop in the Ocean", Donald's mission that opens up Shoreside Vale. Something weird happened to me though. I decided to mess around with this mission a few times because it was fun. So after beating it, instead of saving the game I just reloaded the previous save so I could do it again. At times like this I REALLY wish that Rockstar had built in the option to replay all previous missions in a save, like they did in Midnight Club, but enough of my bitching. Anyway, when I did the mission, it was no problem, UNTIL I docked at Stauton Island, like always, and for some reason, there were NO YAKUZA STINGERS, at Asuka's place on the waterfront! Not only that but there were no cars at all (Weird huh?) except that stupid Landstalker, which I would rather chew on broken glass or suck the farts out of old train seats, than attempt to evade the FBI with! I tried once, and they just pounded me till I turned over or explode...forget about getting to your hideout or even the Paint & Spray against the FBI with that vehicle, it's so slow and handles like a Special Ed kid's tricycle! Anyway, I just ran back to the docks, FBI right on my ass, grabbed the boat again and headed to Portland where I had picked up the boat in the first place. My beat up little Karuma was right where I had left it. I just carefully drove it to my hideout, faking out the barrage of FBI cars trying to ram me, and I gobbled up my waiting police bribes (You can get four to this point in the game), and with only one star the cops are easily evaded on my drive back to Donnie boy's. Mission Passed! Getting the message yet? J There are a ton of missions that this packrat approach to hunting and gathering worked wonders for me, but I think you get the point. ####################################################################### ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 5: Frequently Asked Questions Read this before you send a question to me, because you may find the answer in here. ======================================================================= Q: What do I have to do to get 100%? (also please look at next question) A: This is the list of all the requirements to get 100%: MISSIONS - All Career Missions - All Phone Missions, including Marty - All four RC Car missions - All four Offroad missions *added up, 73 missions altogether EMERGENCY VEICLE MISSIONS *all numbers may be accumulated. They do not have to be done all in a row. - 100 fares in Taxi Driver, can be done anywhere - 20 kills in Vigilante per district, 60 total - 20 fires put out in Fire Fighter per district, 60 total - 70 patients rescued in Paramedic, can be done anywhere - Ambulance Level 12 passed MISCELLANEOUS THINGS - Portland Import/Export Garage completed - Portland Emergency Vehicle Crane completed - Shoreside Vale Import/Export Garage completed - All 100 Hidden Packages found - All 20 Rampages completed - All 20 Unique Jumps completed Nothing else applies to the final score. You don't have to do the Securicar Cracking Garage, you don't have to take x amount of cars to the crusher, you don't have to kill a certain amount of people, etc. Read the question below if you still don't have 100% after doing all this. ======================================================================= Q: I did everything on the list and I still don't have 100%. What's wrong? Thanks to the May 2002 issue of Gamepro, I believe I've found the answer to this problem that's been tormenting many people who can only get 90 something percent complete. The likliest reason is because you're using the illegal cheat codes, which include: - All Weapons - Full Health - Crazy Pedestrians - Pedestrians Riot - Destoy All Cars - Pedestrians Attack - Extra Money - Pedestrains Fight Each Other - Full Armor - Tank These can possibly mess up your file so that it won't load or won't give you full credit for completing the above tasks. It's the game's way of slamming you for cheating. Sorry, but the only way out is to start over from scratch by deleting the GTA3 cube at startup. See the Cheat Codes section for more info. ======================================================================= Q: Does anything happen when you get 100%? A: No, nothing happens. The only thing you get is the personal satisfaction that you have totally defeated this game. ======================================================================= Q: What do I have to do to complete all 73 missions? A: These are the requirements to complete all missions: - All Career Missions - All Phone Missions, including Marty - All four RC Car missions - All four Offroad missions Nothing else will bring your mission counter up. If you still can't beat some missions, it's probably because you are not completing all bosses before you have unlocked the next island. If you do LAST REQESTS by Salvatore or A DROP IN THE OCEAN by Donald Love before doing a minor boss's missions on that island, like Joey, then the minor boss will stop giving work. Complete bosses' missions in the order you meet them to get around this. Also, later in the game, you will be told to kill off someone. This someone is vital towards getting all your missions done. Be sure not to kill this person, until you have completed all the missions that he gives out. This person's name is (SPOILER) Kenji. ======================================================================= Q: Do I get anything for finishing the career missions? A: For completing THE EXCANGE, the last career mission, you'll get one million dollars. Other than that, nothing. You do however need to beat the career missions to get 100% completion on your status screen. ======================================================================= Q: Does the game end if I beat THE EXCHANGE mission? A: No, this game has no true end, even after you've done everything. You can mess around in Liberty City as long as you like. ======================================================================= Q: What is the deal with this number rank on the status screen? A: That's your criminal ranking. You bring it up by doing missions, collecting hidden packages, generally just doing stuff you need to get to 100%. You don't get anything for bringing it up except bragging rights. You can also bring it up by killing people and stealing cars. The highest rank is Boss at 5,000 points. No matter how many more points you get, you'll still be at Boss. Some people have gotten over 30,000 points and their rank hasn't changed. ======================================================================= Q: What does the Daily Police Spending number mean on the status screen? A: Ignore this number, because it's completely random. Try pausing and unpausing, and the number will likely completely change. Once, I paused, and the number was 375,000. When I unpaused and paused again, it read 748,242. When I did this again, it was 286,080. It is NOT a measure of how much havoc you are causing in Liberty City. ======================================================================= Q: What is the name of the guy you play as? A: He doesn't have a name. Even Rockstar and DMA simply refer to him as "the guy." His name isn't Fido or Kid or anything the other characters call him. All of those are just nicknames. Make one up for him if you want to. ======================================================================= Q: How do I unlock the blocked-up tunnels in Shoreside Vale? A: You can't. Though it is possible to see where they go and get inside them. Read the end of the GHOST TOWN section at 14F for further details. ======================================================================= Q: How do I get to the observatory in Shoreside Vale/inside the stadium in Staunton Island/to the lighthouse in Portland/etc.? A: If there's somewhere you want to go, then for the most part you can always get there in the Dodo plane. Read the Flying the Dodo Mini-FAQ to learn how to fly the Dodo. ======================================================================= Q: Is there any way to work for the Triads? A: No, there isn't. If you could work for them, then the counter of missions wouldn't stop at 73 after you finish work for all the other bosses. ======================================================================= Q: Are there any other secret bosses like Marty? A: No, there aren't. See the reason in the above question as to why not. ======================================================================= Q: El Burro's TURISMO mission/King Courtney's BLING BLING SCRAMBLE mission/D-Ice's RIGGED TO BLOW mission keep repeating at the phones! I beat all their missions, so why are they still letting me play their missions? A: It's merely so you can get a better score for these three missions on your status screen. You DON'T have to redo these missions over and over if you don't want to. ======================================================================= Q: Who is Darkel and how do I find him? A: I'm not certain if all of this is accurate, but all I ever hear about him is rumors anyway. Darkel was a boss in the game who was a bum and hated everyone. He ordered you to go on missions to kill lots of people or blow up lots of cars. He rewarded you with weapons instead of cash. One possible reason he was taken out is because DMA decided his missions were too similar to the Rampage missions. Another possible reason is because of September 11, because his missions were like terrorist missions. I heard in one of them you got a bus, got a lot of people on it, and then blew it up. The guy who did his voice work is still credited in the manual for some reason though. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he is NOT in the game anymore. Don't waste your time looking for him. ======================================================================= Q: How do I get to Carser City? A: Carser City, the supposed fourth island, is NOT in this game. I can't believe how many idiot gaming sites have put up fake ways to get to Carser City. If you hear anything about Carser City, I guarantee 100% it's false. The only time Carser City is even MENTIONED in the game is when Toni on the Flashback radio station quotes a newspaper article about a corrupt police chief there. Most of these fake methods say that you can find Carser City behind the blocked-up tunnels in Shoreside Vale after you get 100%. The tunnels NEVER open up. Many, many people have gotten 100% and have proven this wrong. Heck, even I've gotten 100% and proven this wrong. Besides, those tunnels don't lead anywhere. Read THE GHOST TOWN section for further details. BTW, in case you are wondering, the Ghost Town is NOT the fourth city. All they used the Ghost Town for was filming the opening, and nothing more. ======================================================================= Q: Where do I get the Maibatsu Monstrosity the radio talks about? A: You can't get it. The game's code has been hacked and nothing REMOTELY resembling the Monstosity has turned up. Yes, I've seen the picture of the Maibatsu Monstosity in the manual. No, the Maibatsu Monstrosity is not the Landstalker. If it was the Maibatsu Monstrosity it would say "Maibatsu" and/or "Monstrosity" when we get in it, and not just "Landstalker." Besides, does the Landstalker LOOK like it could seat twelve? The Maibatsu Monstrosity radio ad is merely a satire on America's love of overly large, gas-guzzling SUV's and nothing more. ======================================================================= Q: Where do I get the Full-winged Dodo? A: Ever since the game first came out, people have come to believe there is a Full-winged Dodo hidden somewhere in the game that's supposed to fly better or something than the awkward clipped-wing Dodo that is found at the airport. Anyway, the simple answer is you can't get the Full-winged Dodo. None of the hideout garages would be big enough to store it, except the Staunton Island one. But the Staunton Island hideout has nothing but a tiny corridor for vehicles to pass through. It would be far too narrow for a fully winged plane to fit through. You can however shoot down the Full-winged Dodos flying above the city and get a four star wanted level, but you can't you do anything else to them. They blow up in the air, so don't think about shooting one down then pushing it to your garage. Even if the plane did hit the ground, it would become a clipped-wing Dodo. We know this because of the Dodo in the S.A.M. mission. The Dodo is also not solid in the S.A.M. mission, so don't believe any of the fake tricks that tell how to jack it. Some people have parked barricades of Rhino tanks in front of the plane's path for when it landed, and it passed right through them, like the 747's that take off here. You can't get in a vehicle if it's not solid. ======================================================================= Q: Where do I get the helicopter? A: You can't get the helicopter. Don't bother trying to jack the police helicopters that chase you, or try getting into the ones you find at the airport, Kenji's casino, etc. The helicopters on the ground are only for detail. The game's code has been hacked and the physics and everything for it ARE in the game though. SPOILERS!!! I've also heard some strange things about the white helicopter in the EXCHANGE mission. If you get to the place where the helicopter lifts off from the dam fast enough, you can press Triangle and your character will try to get inside. If he does get inside, you'll be in there a short time. But when the helicopter lifts off, you'll fall out the bottom. That's as close as you can get to finding a flyable helicopter. ======================================================================= Q: How do I drive those big passenger jets at the airport? A: You can't, though there is a way to simply get in them. I mean just getting in them, not operating them. ####################################################################### Get in a Rumpo, drive under the wing and get out. Your guy will be half in and half out the wing. If the Rumpo isn't in the way just walk to the plane and he will go through it. There is a table with a cube on it where the pilot would be. If you can't get in, try moving the Rumpo to different places. If you jump when in the wing, you go on top of it. You will notice the "force field" around the wing. Submitted by: Christopher T. Apczynski ####################################################################### ======================================================================= Q: Well what about the motorcycle, Linerunner with trailer, etc.? A: If they did put a motorcycle in this game, think about all the extra things that would have to be put in. A new physics model, a new animation for climbing on the motorcycle, having your character getting hurt when shot at to make it realistic, etc. Also, you can't drive the Linerunner up to a trailer and hook up to it. The trailers are just for detail like the helicopters on the ground ======================================================================= Q: I watched a GTA3 television commercial, and I saw something in it that I've never seen in the game before. How do I trigger its appearance? A: These commercials were made using the beta version, or preproduction version, which means car colors and other things could be different than the current version. Unless you have a gameshark, you won't be able to get the white Stinger, the white with blue stripe Banshee, etc. Also, there's a scene in one of the commercials with your character pointing guns at some Yakuza agents. This scene is not in the game anywhere. It was just created for the commercial to make the game look cooler so you'd want to buy it. It is not a secret mission or anything. The commercials are like movie trailers, with scenes both in and not in the game spliced together and edited to make it look faster and more exciting than it actually is. If you see something in the commercial that wasn't in the game, then more than likely you won't be able to get it. ======================================================================= Q: Where do I get the lightless Taxi? A: For a change, this vehicle DOES exist. The lightless Taxi is a taxi that doesn't have a light on its roof. It's quite hard to find, because it's supposedly a graphical glitch. I saw two of them near my Shoreside Vale hideout in Wichita Gardens, shortly after loading my game. If you want to look for it, the best advice I can give you is to look at the roof of EVERY taxi you see. That car is nearly as rare as Mr. Whoopee is, so expect to be searching for awhile. It is NOT a yellow Sentinel mistaken for a Taxi. Sentinels don't have "TAXI" written on the side, nor does the car name read "Taxi" when you get in them. I'm certain that the ones I jacked were Taxis. ======================================================================= Q: Where do I get the Purple Esperanto? A: I've never actually seen this car myself. I hear you can get it by driving an Esperanto around the construction site in Stauton Island. The Esperanto you find will be a purple color, and a pimp wearing a purple suit will be driving it. It's said that if you take this car, you'll be attacked by everyone for a short time. Maybe it is out there. Most people don't believe in the lightless Taxi until they actually see it. Maybe it's the same case with this car. ======================================================================= Q: My bulletproof Cheetah still blows up like a regular Cheetah when I crash it or flip it over. Isn't it supposed to be indestructible? A: Notice that I only say in the Bulletproof Cars section that it's *bulletproof.* It is not *ramproof* or *roll-overproof.* This applies to all other bulletproof vehicles for that matter, minus the everything-proof Stretch. ======================================================================= Q: I delivered a car to the Import/Export garage/Emergency Vehicle Crane. Why didn't an icon appear? A: You must deliver EVERY car on the list before the icons will appear. You won't get any icons for delivering one car, half the cars, or even one car short of completion. You need ALL of the cars before you'll get your reward. ======================================================================= Q: What does a Yardie Lobo look like and where can I get one? A: I'm guessing you need one of these to beat Kenji's missions. It's a old reddish-colored car with a gold top, and leopard-skin seats. You can find them driving around Newport in Staunton Island. ======================================================================= Q: Where are the L3/R3 buttons? A: You press down on your left or right stick, like it's a button. Those are the L3/R3 buttons. ======================================================================= Q: One of your submissions said you could do this but I can't get it to work. Can you help me? A: 95% of the submissions I get I never try out myself. If you ask about how to do something in a reader submission, then more than likely I won't be able to help you with it. ======================================================================= Q: Can I be your partner and help you write this guide? A: It's nice of you to offer your help, but I don't really need a partner. This guide's pretty much totally complete now. ======================================================================= Q: Are you going to write an FAQ/Walkthrough for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City when it comes out? A: I'd say the chances of that happening are about 50/50. I'm considering quitting FAQ writing because I'm entering my senior year of high school and I also have a new car to pay for. I'm sorry, but school and my car are more important than writing. However, I *might* be able to find time during a holiday break to prepare the FAQ if I'm making it. ======================================================================= Q: Can I use your guide on my site? A: No you can't. I already give out my answer to this question in my copyright. I only want www.gamefaqs.com, www.neoseeker.com, www.psxcodes.com, and www.gameadvice.com to host my guides. Requests by other sites will be instantly deleted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6: Missions Walkthrough Okay, it's now time to start your life as a gunman for hire. The game begins showing you a car pulling up in front of a bank. Meanwhile, some gang members in the back alley crash through the fire exit, with a briefcase in hand. A guy with a shotgun follows after them. The female one holds him at gunpoint as he rounds a corner, and shoots him in the chest. She says he's just small time as she walks away while the guy sags to the ground. Later, the man who was shot is arrested and taken to court. The jury unanimously decides he is guilty of his crimes. Later that night, he is being transported to prison in a police truck with two other guys. A van and another truck silently follow after them. The van drops a bomb while crossing the bridge. The truck pulls in front of the convoy and stops it. Some guys leap out of the van and get the cops to surrender to them. They're after only the old man, but the two other prisoners, the guy in the first part of the opening and a black guy, take advantage of the situation and steal the keys to their handcuffs. They get the cuffs off and step out of the police truck. Meanwhile, the van and the other truck have fled with the old man. The two guys look at the other end of the bridge and see the bomb that was dropped. It blows the bridge in half, but they are okay. The black man is 8-Ball, and he's the first guy to befriend you in the underworld. The other guy who was in the first part of the opening will be your character. Now, it's up to you to decide where the story will go... Your first mission begins right after you are freed. ********************** 6A - PORTLAND MISSIONS ********************** ______ _____ _____ _____ _ _____ _ _ _____ | _ | | _ | | _ | |_ _| | | | _ | | \ | | | _ \ | |_| | | | | | | |_| | | | | | | |_| | | \| | | | | | | ___| | | | | | _ / | | | | | _ | | | | | | | | | | |_| | | | | \ | | | |___ | | | | | |\ | | |_| | |_| |_____| |_| |_| |_| |_____| |_| |_| |_| \_| |_____/ *********************************************************************** GIVE ME LIBERTY REWARD - Freedom, a new hideout, and your first boss Get inside the car with 8-ball, and drive to your first hideout in the Red Light District. Feel free to take your time getting there, because the cops are too busy dealing with the bridge explosion to be thinking about capturing you. After you get to your hideout, you and 8-Ball will run inside to change out of your prison clothes and into civilian clothes. This is where you will save your game. Its also where you can store ONE car in the garage next to your place. Don't worry, you'll eventually move up to garages that hold a few cars at the same time. After you get your clothes changed, head to Luigi's Sex Club 7, also in the Red Light District. You will be introduced to Luigi, your first boss, and then the mission will be over. He then immediately gives you your first real mission. *********************************************************************** From now on, the missions done by their respective bosses will be listed under their names, like this name below. The initial of their first name indicates each boss. I say you should finish off one boss's missions at a time, so your map won't be cluttered with bosses to satisfy. __ | | | | | _ | |__ |__| | |__| | LUIGI MISSIONS *********************************************************************** LUIGI'S GIRLS REWARD - $1,500 This mission is really easy, all you have to do is pick up Misty from the hospital, then bring her back to Sex Club 7. Go to Portland View, where the hospital is. Stop next to Misty and let her get in. After she gets in the car, go back to Sex Club 7 in the Red Light District. You now have some money in your pocket and you're free to go explore Portland. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** DON'T SPANK MA BITCH UP REWARD - $4,000 You are given a letter written by Luigi. He writes that there's a new drug on the streets called SPANK. A guy is giving this out to his girls at Portland Harbor, and he wants you to go and kill him. Then, he wants you to take his car and respray it, and deliver it to his lockup. Begin by taking the bat on the sidewalk in front of the club, then head for Portland Harbor in Trenton. When you enter the docks, you'll see your target talking to two hookers. When he sees you he'll come after you. Despite what Luigi says, you don't need to kill him with the bat. I just ran him over. After you do kill him, get in his Stallion and take it to the Pay and Spray in the Red Light District. It's a little down the street from Sex Club 7. Drive it into the garage. This is where you can get your car resprayed and repaired to lose the cops. It usually costs $1000, but this time it's free. After you are done doing that, take the car to Portland View and drive it into Luigi's lockup. It's across the street from the hospital. After you park inside, get out of the car and walk out. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** DRIVE MISTY FOR ME REWARD - $1,000, and a new boss Joey Leone wants some action from Misty, so you have to go pick her up at her apartment then take her to his garage. Go to Hepburn Heights, which is just down the road from where you are. Park in the circle, then honk your horn so Misty will come out. Take her to Joey's garage in Portland View. You'll go inside, and after talking to Misty, Joey will say you oughta come back later if you want work from him. If you want to check out his missions, go to the end of Luigi's missions on this walkthrough. Joey's missions are right below. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** PUMP-ACTION PIMP REWARD - $4,000, and the Handgun becomes available at Ammu-nation The Diablos have been messing with Luigi's girls, and now you have to go straighten things out. Luigi says if you want a gun, then go to Ammu-nation opposite the subway. Let's head for the gun shop first. Go inside, and the guy behind the counter will tell you he left a gun behind the shop for you, and it's free of charge. Go into the alley and take the gun. If you want to, you can practice shooting at the targets. When you are done, then follow the red dot to find the guys you need to kill. Ram their Diablo Stallion off the road. When they get out, be careful, because one of them is packing a shotgun that can kill you with two blasts. After you kill both of them you complete the mission. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** THE FUZZ BALL REWARD - $2,000 There's a police ball taking place at the old school hall. Luigi wants you to deliver as many girls as you can to the ball so he can profit from the money the cops are blowing. Get a car that can hold four passengers so you can take three girls per trip. It takes a minimum of four girls to pass the mission. For each additional girl, you'll get $500. I recommend that after you drop off the first three girls, you should jack a police car at the ball so you can use the siren to clear the traffic out of the way, making it easier to get all the girls. After you beat this mission, Luigi will have no more work for you. It's time to try out Joey's missions. *********************************************************************** __ __ | | | |__ \_/ |__| |__| |__ | JOEY MISSIONS *********************************************************************** MIKE LIPS LAST LUNCH REWARD - $10,000 The Forelli Brothers owe Joey money, but they haven't paid him for a long time. Steal Mike's car while he's eating, get it equipped with a bomb, then bring it back with no damage, so Mike won't suspect anything. Then watch the fireworks. This is your first mission with a time limit, but fortunately you've got a generous one of six minutes. That's enough time to do this mission twice! Still, you shouldn't dilly dally. Get over to Marco's Bistro in Saint Marks's, then take his car. Drive it CAREFULLY to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop down the road. If you damage the car you will have to get it repaired, otherwise Mark will know something's wrong. Park it inside his garage, and the bomb will be equipped. Again, drive CAREFULLY back to Marco Bistro. Park the car in the same spot, arm the bomb with Circle, then step back out onto the street. Mikey will start his car and it will go boom. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** FAREWELL 'CHUNKY' LEE CHONG REWARD - $10,000 Chunky is selling SPANK at his noodle stand in Chinatown. You have to go take him out. If you want another gun or more ammo, go to Ammu-nation. Go to Ammunation first for more ammo if you want it, then head towards Chinatown. The noodle stand is in a place where poles block off access to vehicles. You'll get a cinematic of the stand when you are close to it. However, when you approach the stand, some Triads will shoot at you while Chunky flees to his car around the corner. Don't bother chasing after him, because there's a real good chance he'll make it to his car before you can catch him. Instead, run back to your own car, then track down Chunky and box him into a corner. It should be easy as he's driving a slow Perennial. Throw him out of his car, then kill him while he flees for his life. ####################################################################### When you get the mission, don't enter the noodle stand area right away. Instead go around back to where Chunky has his car parked. Jack the car and take it to 8-Ball so he can arm it with a bomb. Park Chunky's car where it was, then enter the area with the noodle stand. The Triads jump you and "Chunky" runs to his car, but as he starts it, it explodes. All you have to do is jump in your car when "Chunky" runs away and let 8-Ball's bomb do the rest. Submitted by: Dan Streckert ####################################################################### ####################################################################### Where you find 8-Ball's shop, there is a tunnel where the train is. Stomp the people in there and you will get some Molotov Cocktails and a Hidden Package. Once that is done, do the mission. When you find him, stand behind the poles (the ones that prevent cars from coming through) and throw one at the noodle stand. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds once you get there. Submitted by: BmHero ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** VAN HEIST REWARD - $20,000, and a new boss In this mission, you are going to try to jack a money van, then take it to the docks. First, get a big tough vehicle, like say the Coach from the Trenton Bus Station. Then, track down the Securicar, and ram it until the security guards bail out. If you hit it with the Coach head on it'll take off like over half it's health. You'll get two stars on your wanted level for the first ram. If you want to get rid of them, then go to the Pay and Spray and come back. If you ram it this time you won't get two stars. Take the Securicar to the Portland Docks in Trenton. Be careful with the car, as you have intentionally smashed it up. Park it in the blue circle, then drive it into the garage and walk out to complete the mission. *********************************************************************** IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: After you finish this mission, El Burro will page you, saying that if you want work from him, go to the payphone in Hepburn Heights. I gotta say something really important about him: Get his Turismo mission done as early as you can. Because, (spoiler) when you finish Portland, it'll become a warzone, and it'll be difficult to race in the Turismo mission because of all the people shooting at you (end spoiler). Skip below to the end of the Portland section for his missions. *********************************************************************** CIPRIANI'S CHAUFFER REWARD - $3,000, a new boss, and the Uzi becomes available at Ammu-nation In this mission, you must transport Toni Cipriani to Momma's Restaurant in Saint Mark's, which he owns. But before that, he needs to go to Mr. Wong's Launderette in Chinatown to conduct some business. After leaving the garage in Toni's Mafia Sentinel, drive him to Mr. Wong's in Chinatown. After he goes inside and talks for a little bit, the Triads will spring an ambush. Get out of Chinatown as fast as you can. After escaping the Triads, take Toni to his original destination at Momma's Restaurant in Saint Mark. He'll say that he's ready to launch a war on the Triads, and if you want to help him out on this, come back later for some work. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** DEAD SKUNK IN THE TRUNK REWARD - $10,000 A Forelli brother has been killed, and now you have to get rid of the evidence by taking the car with the body in the trunk to the crusher. Go to the Greasy Joe's Diner at Callahan Point and take the car. You may note the blood trail on the back. When you get inside, the Forelli brothers will spring an ambush to get revenge for what was done to their little brother. Get away from these punks as fast as you can. Once you enter the winding streets of Chinatown you should be able to make a clean getaway. After losing your pursuers, take the car to the car crusher in Harwood. Park it in the circle, then get out of the car. The crane will pick up the car and lower it into the crusher. You DON'T need to stay around and watch it get crushed if you don't want to. ####################################################################### I just carjacked 4 cars and parked them around the Forelli brother parked in the lot. Now there is a second car parked in a little hiding place across the street from the Diner with the second Forelli brother inside. I carjacked 3 cars and put them around him and he didn't go anywhere. I did find out that when putting the cars around either one of the Forelli brothers' cars you must be careful not to bump against them in ANY way. Even the slightest bump on a Forelli's car can set him off and make him chase after you. Submitted by: Ben Hoeffler NOTE: Daniel Feit also says this can be done with a Coach. The Coach buses can be found at the Trenton Bus Station near the Portland docks, in case anyone doesn't know. ####################################################################### ####################################################################### As you stated, the Forelli cars are fast and strong, and the skunk car is slow and weak. So what I did was 'jack a cube truck like a Triad fish truck, or van (although next time I'll try finding a bus) and drive to the lot with the skunk car. You can see the Forelli car sitting off to the side with its headlights on. Nevermind blocking him in; get that truck moving and slam into him head on. The other Forelli car will begin to appear and both will try to run you off the road. Those cars won't be strong enough to push the truck around easily. So from here just keep banging into the Forelli cars until they run, or until they blow up. After the cars blew up, I got some extra cash for doing a crazy stunt bonus. With the Farellis gone, it's smooth cruising all the way to the crusher. Submitted by: Chad Kawikuamoo ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** THE GETAWAY REWARD - $30,000 In this mission, you have to pick up some friends of Joey's so they can rob a bank, then you have to get them back to their hideout with no tail. Get a vehicle that can seat four passengers, then go to the gangster's hideout in Saint Mark's. Honk the horn to call them out. After they are in the car, drive them to the bank in Chinatown. The gangsters will then rob the bank in under 20 seconds, heh. But that's not important, because now you have a three star wanted level! If you take the alleyway to the north of the bank, you'll get a police bribe, and that will take a little weight off your shoulders. You should now drive to the Pay and Spray near the Sex Club 7 in the Red Light District. You will lose your wanted level instantly, and you can enjoy a nice, quiet drive back to the hideout. IMO it's worth the one grand you pay. You have now finished with Joey. *********************************************************************** IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: When you start working for Toni, he's going to ask you to help him fight against the Triads in Chinatown. After you start helping him out the Triads will hate you so much you'll never be able to sit down and eat won ton soup in Chinatown ever again. There's no way to make the Triads like you again. I suggest you start looking for the Hidden Packages in this area of town before confronting Toni, because its going to be hard to find them while there are a few dozen Triads coming after you with baseball bats and handguns. Don't come crying to me if you made this mistake, because there ain't any way to undo it. ####################################################################### I kicked myself when I read it (above warning), because of course I had been more interested in running different missions than hunting for those kilos, and I realized you're right, I won't be able to waltz around Chinatown looking for out-of-the-way places anymore. But I have also been playing the "Trial By Fire" mission from El Burro, and I was very surprised when I first cruised into Chinatown at the beginning of the mission and realized the Triads couldn't care less about me (even when I'm running around with a flame-thrower torching them, they ignore me). As soon as the mission is over (whether you succeed or fail) they remember who you are and start shooting again. So maybe I have a second chance. The mission clock doesn't start ticking until you get the flame-thrower, so I'll just take the mission, then drive to Chinatown and find all the packages I can, then get the flame-thrower and roast some Triads. Submitted by: Matt Saunders ####################################################################### ___ __ .| | | |\ | | .| |__| | \| | TONI MISSIONS *********************************************************************** TAKING OUT THE LAUNDRY REWARD - $20,000 The goal for this mission is to blow up three Triad laundry vans driving around the city. 8-Ball will also give you a bundle of grenades to help take out the vans. Begin by going to 8-Ball's garage to collect the grenades, then head out to take down the vans. The best way to blow them up is to block the road ahead of them with a vehicle, then throw a kink their way. The Triad will never know what hit him. Just don't accidentally hit their vans or they'll start driving like maniacs to get away from you, making grenades almost impossible to use. If this happens, you'll either need to do drive-bys on the vans with the Uzi, or you'll need to box them into a wall to throw them out of the vans so you can use the grenades. ####################################################################### The "Taking Out the Laundry" mission for Toni is a lot easier if you steal the delivery vans and then just run them into a couple of walls. Then you don't need to worry about missed grenades, or maniac drivers, or anything but getting out of the car before it explodes. As a nice side benefit, you get to keep all 10 grenades. :) Submitted by: Zac Christenson ####################################################################### ####################################################################### For the "Taking Out the Laundry" mission I found it much easier to just avoid driving a vehicle at all. This is because you would run the risk of bumping the Triad truck. So instead I just traveled on foot to where a Triad truck stops at a red light, then I ran up along side it and sliped a hand grenade underneith. This may only work on the first and second truck. I found it sometimes doesn't doesnt work on the third one, because they avoid stopping at red lights. Submitted by: Ben Hoeffler ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** THE PICK-UP REWARD - $10,000 The laundry has agreed to repay their debts, so go to Chinatown to get the cash. Careful, though, it could be a trap. Head for Chinatown and go to the alley behind Mr. Wong's Launderette to find the cash. When you take it, the Triads will spring the expected ambush. You now have to waste them all. Quickly RUN, don't drive, out of the alleys so you'll have room to breathe. If you try to get back in your car, there's a very good chance you'll just get thrown out again and the Triads will beat you up until you're dead. IMO the best fork to take out of the alleys is the one with the Triad Fish Van at the entrance. Get inside the van, and drive back and forth over the Triads as they foolishly run into the open where you can smash them flat. After they are all dead, take the cash back to Toni at Momma's Restaurant. ####################################################################### I found the ABSOLUTE easiest way to beat the mission was to back a car, preferably a taxi because of its steering, into the opening before picking up the briefcase. This way that right after you pick up the "package," you can just hop in and get away, then kill the guys. Submitted by: Devin ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** SALVATORE'S CALLED A MEETING REWARD - $15,000 In this mission, the leader of the Mafia, Salvatore Leone, wants all the major heads to come to a meeting he's having at his mansion. Go to Joey's garage to pick up a limo, then pick up Luigi, Joey, and Toni. Drive them all to Salvatore's mansion. To begin, go to Joey's garage of course to get the Stretch. Joey will get in with you. Next, drive to Sex Club 7 in the Red Light District to pick up Luigi. Sound the horn and he'll get in. After you do that, go back to Momma's Restaurant in Saint Mark's to get Toni. Sound the horn and he will also get in. Now, at this time, the Triads will take advantage of this chance to kill off nearly all the Mafia's leaders! Get up the hill as fast as you can, and do your best to try to evade the Triad Fish Vans in the bulky Stretch. When you get to the front gate of Salvatore's mansion at the top of the hill, you will see that the Triads have blocked off the entrance. There is however a big gap on the right side. Drive through there to get passed the road block. The Triads will back off here because this is DEEP Mafia territory. Drive into the garage to finish the level. You will now have your meeting with Salvatore. He will congratulate you upon your recent successes, and says he sees nothing but good things coming from you. *********************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTE: You must do Salvatore's first mission after the above mission before you can play any others. Skip below to Salvatore's missions for instructions. *********************************************************************** TRIADS AND TRIBULATIONS REWARD - $30,000 The Mafia has announced war upon the Triads. You are ordered to take some of Toni's men, and kill off the Triad warlords. Get in a car with room for four passengers so Toni's men can come with you. Go to Chinatown. The first warlord you should kill is the one in front of the Raffles Fish Factory. Run him down and you should kill him easily. The second warlord is in the area that is off limits to vehicles, where Chunky used to work his noodle stand. Its going to be easier this time, because you have backup now. Kill the warlord here. The last warlord is at the Turtle Head Fish Company at Callahan Point. You will need a Triad Fish Van for the front gate to open. Jack one from around here, then go to the factory and kill the final warlord to end the mission. ####################################################################### One of the Triad Warlords is hiding in the fish factory. In theory, you must steal a fish truck to enter the gates, then shoot the guy and run out of there. That's not too hard, but I have a much easier solution. I assume by now you've found all 31 packages in Portland, meaning you have a hearty supply of grenades at your hideout. After killing the first two warlords, head for the fish factory. Drive around the walls to find a nice hill with a full view of the inner yard. Park your car on top and take a look. You can clearly see your target and all his boys. The warlord is the guy with the blue arrow over his head. One well-thrown grenade will kill the lot of them. Mission over....*kaching* get paid. Submitted by: Daniel Feit ####################################################################### ####################################################################### To kill the last warlord at the fish factory, you can easily drive your up on the left side of the building (left when entering the gate) andthen get out. The triads won't see you if you stay behind your truck, righ tnext to the platform. Then just use your shotgun and shoot your truck until it catches fire, then run back towards the gate and let the explosion takeout the warlord and the other members. Submitted by: Ripe ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** BLOW FISH REWARD - $3,000 Toni says he's sick and tired of this war, and wants to cut down the Triad's cash at its source. 8-Ball has loaded up a garbage truck (or dust cart as they call it in this game) with explosives. You need to pick up the garbage truck, park it between the gas canisters at the Turtle Head Fish Company, then get out. Be careful though, the bomb is on a timer, and if you take too much damage the bomb will blow prematurely. Go to 8-Ball's place to get the Trashmaster. This thing is a down-right monster to drive, and now you have only two and a half minutes to get to where you are going in this slug. Drive carefully to the factory at Callahan Point, and the guards will let you in. Park the Trashmaster between the gas cans as Toni told you to do, then get out of the blast radius. Don't worry, you can still be in the compound and not get hurt. You are now finished with Toni. It's time to take orders directly from the Don himself, Salvatore. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ ___ __ __ __ |__ |__| | | | |__| | | | |__| |__ ___| | | |__ \/ | | | |__| | \ |__ SALVATORE MISSIONS *********************************************************************** CHAPERONE REWARD - $10,000 You have been given the job of baby-sitter to watch Maria for the night. She says she wants to go see Chico, who's down at the waterfront in Chinatown. Go there, and Maria will go talk to Chico. He says there's a party in a warehouse at the Atlantic Quays. Maria gets back in and tells you she wants to go see this party. Drive her to the warehouse in the Atlantic Quays, and stay in the car while she goes inside. While you're waiting, aim the car back towards the road. In a little bit, you'll see a SWAT truck moving into the area. The party's the target for a police raid! Stay where you are and wait for Maria to get back in the car with you. Don't worry about the cops, because the security guards will take care of them for you, and the cops also tend to aim for the other guests rather than you. When she does get in, PUNCH IT! Get back to Salvatore's mansion where you'll be safe. Go into the garage to end the mission. NOTE: Numerous people have told me about the Cheetah parked nearby when Maria's at the party. Though this doesn't apply to the mission, I'm posting it so people will shut up about it. If you want the Cheetah, then steal it and take it to your hideout. Then come back to pick up Maria again. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** CUTTING THE GRASS REWARD - $15,000 There's a rat in the Mafia. Salvatore suspects it's Curly Bob, who works at Sex Club 7, because he's spending more money than he's earning. He usually takes a taxi home. You need to follow him to see if he really is meeting with the enemy. Get over to Sex Club 7 and park far away from the cab you see waiting outside. After a moment or so, Curly will come out and get in. Now, you will see a Spookmeter near the other meters. You must stay far away enough from the taxi so Curly won't suspect anything, yet close enough so as not to lose sight of your target. If the meter fills up totally, then Curly will call off his meeting and you'll lose. After arriving at Portland Docks in Trenton, he starts a meeting with the leaders of the Columbia Cartel, Miguel and Catalina. He gives out some info to them. He is a rat after all. Run down that little squealer! Do it quick before he can use that shotgun. ####################################################################### It was actually purely by accident, during my 7th attempt to chase the bar man (I'm not a good driver) I choose a Taxi to chase him with. I pulled up behind the other Taxi at Luigi's bar and waited. When he did emerge he got into my taxi instead. It then tells you to drive him to the docks, with no time limit! This is allot easier than chasing him, and you don't even have to switch on the taxi mission; he just gets in, and beings he doesn't know you he can't recognize you as one of Salvatore's boys. Submitted by: Jace ####################################################################### ####################################################################### We've discovered another way of solving the "Cutting the Grass" mission, which may or may not be very sporting. We had done this three or four times (my husband drives and I navigate, so that we can play together) and were having trouble staying close enough to figure out where Curly Bob was going but far enough back not to trip the spookometer. We were getting increasingly frustrated after repeatedly making it to the gate of the docks and then spooking him, and we asked ourselves, why couldn't we just hurry from Don Salvatore's to the docks and hide and wait for the rat to show up? Well, it worked like a charm! To the left of the entrance, we hid in the long alleyway that leads towards the water. When we saw his blue arrow coming (we couldn't see the taxi because of the wall), we ducked back a little more, and after the game went to the cut scene, we circled around, found him with a blue arrow over his head, and wasted him. Submitted by: Catherine J.S. Lee ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** BOMB DA BASE: ACT 1 REWARD - nothing Salvatore wants you to destroy the Cartel's boat, where he thinks they are producing their SPANK. He tells you to go see 8-Ball, as he could probably figure out a way to do it. Head down the to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop and talk with him. He says he can blow up the Cartel's boat, but he needs $100,000 to pay for the explosives. 8-Ball says to come back later when you get the money. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** BOMB DA BASE: ACT 2 REWARD - $150,000 If you fail this mission after paying the $100,000, don't worry, because you'll get it back after you fail. (thanks to Brobert2) Don't worry about the cash you spend if you win either; as you can see above, you'll get it all paid back and even get an extra $50,000. When you're all set for the mission, come back to 8-Ball's place. He will give you a Sniper Rifle as a little gift for your generosity. Get in a car, then drive down to Portland Docks in Trenton. When you stop in the circle, 8-Ball will say he'll move onto the boat as soon as you fire the first shot. Before you start shooting, go to the front of the warehouse where the mobile trailers are. Here you will find an Adrenaline Pill which will slow down time, making sniping easier. Don't get in a car or it will wear off. Run back down the side of the warehouse where the boat is, and go up the stairs you find on the side of the warehouse. They will lead to the roof where you should set up your sniper's nest. Shoot the guy to the left of the ramp going onto the ship, because he's harder to hit, then shoot the guy on the right side. Look up and you'll see red drums next to a guy. Shoot the drums to make them explode and take him out. Look along to the right and snipe the rest of the guys along the boat. If you see more oil drums, shoot them for explosions that will kill guys. Don't stop shooting until you have reached the building on the front of the ship. 8-Ball will run in there if you were successful. He'll set the bombs, and run away as the ship sinks. *********************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTICE! PLEASE READ!: When you complete this next mission of Salvatore's, you just about won't be able to show your face in Portland ever again, because (spoiler) Salvatore's gonna double-cross you in this next mission (end spoiler). Finish up all business you have in Portland, RIGHT NOW, like finding all the hidden packages, doing the emergency vehicle missions, etc. Finishing up El Burro's missions being a real important thing you ought to do. Don't make the same mistake I did on my first game. *********************************************************************** LAST REQUESTS REWARD - $20,000, a new hideout, a new boss, and access to Staunton Island There was a little disagreement and it got messy. You have to get rid of a car that's been splattered with brains inside. Go down to the Red Light District, and Maria will page you. She says the car is a trap, and that you should meet her at the dock at Callahan Point. Listen to her advice, because the nice Cheetah you find is rigged with a bomb. Follow the pink dot to the docks, where Maria will reveal her connections with a second crime group, called the Yakuzas. She's made friends with Asuka, one of the leaders. Asuka says they had better head for Staunton island, which is safe from the Mafia. Drive the boat across the river to Asuka's condo in Newport, Staunton Island. Maria says she and Asuka need to talk, and suggests you go cruising around. I say you take her advice. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ __ __ |__ | |__\ | | |__| |__| | | |__ |__ |__/ |__| | \ | \ |__| EL BURRO MISSIONS *********************************************************************** TURISMO REWARD - $10,000 If you were wise and listened to my advice about doing this mission early, it will be SO much easier. However, don't come moaning to me if you decided to put off this hard mission for later, because there's no way to (spoiler) make the Mafia like you again. It's gonna be near impossible to do this race then because of those powerful shotguns they have (end spoiler.) You will need to use a bulletproof vehicle to win, like say the bulletproof Cheetah. You can find out how to get one near the bottom of the FAQ. This mission is like Midnight Club, which was also published by Rockstar. It's a race around Portland to hit all the checkpoints. The first one to tag all the checkpoints is the winner. However, beating it is not so easy. The guys you are racing against are driving EXTREMELY fast Cheetahs, ones you won't be able to get access to unless you play the Vigilante or Fire Fighter mini-missions and a target is a Cheetah. There are a couple of good ways to tackle this mission. - THE HONEST WAY Get a real fast car and win like in a normal race without cheating. Get the lead early and don't lose it if you are going to do it this way. Your fellow racers tend to crash, as the Infernus and Cheetah have poor cornering and blow up just by slamming the car door too hard. I have a few good cars to suggest. Banshee - You will find this car in the showroom at Easy Credit Autos in Saint Mark's. Its really fast and corners good, but blows up easy. Just don't hit too much stuff and you'll be fine. Diablo Stallion - This car is real fast, but not as fast as the Banshee is. It also doesn't corner as well, due to the fact it was mostly custom-made for high speed and not much attention was made to maneuverability. It makes up for it with durability though. If you choose this car, use the R1 handbrake button to powerslide through the corners. Police - This car is real fast, but not as fast as the Diablo Stallion or the Banshee. It makes up for this with the facts it can take lots of punishment, and has the distinct advantage of having a siren to make the other cars get out of the way. It also corners quite well. - THE DISHONEST WAY Get a couple of buses from the Trenton Bus Station, and use them to block your competitors at the starting line. You can even win using a downright slow car if you do this. The other racers will really get slowed down by the barricade you set up. Be careful though, sometimes the game becomes wise to this plan and punishes you by making the buses or your car vanish. Whatever method you choose, be sure to maintain alertness. There are other cars driving everywhere and your Banshee won't be able to stand up to too many wrecks. It's much better to lose some time correcting a driving error than to crash. As said above, also try to get the lead as early as you can. The other cars tend to fall behind more and more when you get ahead of them. BTW, you may notice you can keep coming back to the El Burro phone again and again and he always gives you this mission. This is so you can get a faster time on your status screen in the pause menu. You only have to beat the mission once and never again, so don't think that you have to keep coming back. ####################################################################### A good car to use is the Borgnine Taxi which turns really good and is also pretty fast. Also, if you want to get a head start try driving fast and just hitting one of the others cars a little and the race will start and you'll get a good headstart. Submitted by: Stefan Hoberg ####################################################################### ####################################################################### A simple way I found was to use the tank. Getting to the starting line with the turret facing backwards, and when the race begins speed into the two cars to your left by firing the gun behind you, and they will explode. Usually there will be one remaining cheetah, so all you have to do is drive straight (ignore the pink dots) and intersect him when he heads toward another checkpoint and bump him, causing him to explode. If you miss him there, you can cruise over and stop on the road in front of your hideout and he should pass by, just bump him when you see him. Now you can cruise with your tank through the checkpoints at your leisure. I did mine in a time of 509 seconds. Submitted by: Jake Semmel ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM REWARD - $6,000 Somebody has threatened to kill off one of El Burro's girls, and he wants you to get a bomb, steal an ice cream truck, rig it with the bomb, and lure the would-be killers to their deaths with the jeengle-jeengles. To begin, pick up the briefcase at Borgnine Taxis in Harwood. It's just down the street from where the payphone is. Next, track down the ice cream van and jack it. After you get the van, drive it to the warehouse El Burro told you about in the Atlantic Quays. Don't waste time pretending to be Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal. When you park it in the blue circle, arm the bomb with Circle, then press the horn button to ring the van's bells. Get out of the lot, then when you see all the men gather around the truck, use the remote control in your inventory to set off the bomb and kill the enemies. (Here's a small hint that will make your life a lot less painful in the future. DON'T detonate the van. Instead, shoot the guys who come out yourself. You can now take it to the Import/Export Garage at the Portland Docks, to spare yourself the trouble of tracking one down later. Mr. Whoopee is the rarest car in the game, so this would be a good idea to try out.) *********************************************************************** IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: Dave Kahler tells me if the Triads don't already hate you because of the missions you did for Toni, then El Burro's mission TRIAL BY FIRE will. *********************************************************************** TRIAL BY FIRE REWARD - $10,000 You need to find a weapon in Chinatown, and kill as many Triads there as you can. Head for the dot in Chinatown, and you'll find a Flame-thrower in an alley. You must kill 25 Triads in 2 and a half minutes. In case you didn't know, the Triads are the guys wearing completely blue clothes. I say you go to the basketball court nearby, as lots of Triads hang out there. If you stay near the park there, more will come, and you should be able to get enough easily. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** BIG 'N VEINY REWARD - $20,000, and two stacks of porn at your Portland Hideout A guy has stolen El Burro's new XXX magazines and you have to go follow the trail of magazines to the SPANKED-up idiot who left the back door open. Get in the van with the arrow. You start with 25 seconds, but for every mag you pick up, you get a second back. It's kind of like the Trailblazer minigame in Driver. This guy took a long and winding route, so be ready for sudden curves. Also, there's a downhill section in Saint Mark's that you can use to get back time. Take advantage of it, you're gonna need all the extra seconds you can get. Eventually, the trail will lead you to Portland docks. When you reach the end of the route, kill the guy standing next to his van, then drive your van to XXX Mags in the Red Light District to finish the mission. It's no big deal, but after you beat this mission, El Burro will deliver two stacks of porn magazines to your Portland hideout, one next to the door to the save point, another one inside your save point. You can't do anything to them really. It's just a small touch. *********************************************************************** __ __ ___ |\/| |__| |__| | \_/ | | | | | \ | | Marty is a special boss, who calls you via a telephone in Trenton that's not marked on the radar. He will open up for business after you meet Joey. The phone is outside the dog food factory, which he runs. The phone only rings at certain times of the day, from 09:00 to around 18:00. Alert reader Scott Duffy notes that the mission names seem to be derived from a foreign film titled "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover." MARTY MISSIONS *********************************************************************** THE CROOK REWARD - $1,000 Marty wants you to pick up the bank manager, so he can have a "discussion" with him. Get the Perennial from inside his lot, then go to the Bank of Liberty in Chinatown to pick up the bank manager. Drive the bank manager back to the dog food factory. Marty will have his "discussion" with the manager. You now have to get the car crushed, because it's evidence. Take it to the crusher in Harwood. When the car has been crushed, the mission is over. You don't need to watch it be crushed if you don't want to. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** THE THIEVES REWARD - $3,000 Marty hired some thieves to break into his apartment and steal some stuff so he can claim his insurance. But the thieves threaten to tell the insurance company the real story unless he gives them some of the cash he earns. He tells you to get them from the Red Light District and bring them back here so he can deal with them. Go into his lot again and take the Sentinel he left for you. Head for Chinatown where they are. Pick them up and bring them back to the dog food factory. Marty will have another "discussion." You have to go now and get the car resprayed so there won't be any evidence. Take it to the Pay and Spray in the Red Light District. After you have the car resprayed, bring it back to the factory again to finish the mission. If you run away from the car after you park it at the finish, so the door won't close, you can drive away with it, and nobody will be able to get you because the doors on this car are locked. After you put it in your garage though, it becomes a regular Sentinel. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** THE WIFE REWARD - $2,000 Marty's business is near bankruptcy, thanks to his wife's spending habits. Pick her up from Classic Nails, and bring her back to the factory, so Marty may have yet another "discussion." Get the Esperanto from the factory again, then go to Classic Nails in the Red Light District. Bring her back to the factory. Marty will again have one of his "discussions." Drive the car to the nearby Portland Docks, park next to the edge, and push the car into the ocean to get rid of the evidence again. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** HER LOVER REWARD - $4,000 It turns out Marty's wife was seeing someone he owes money to, and Marty has planned to have another "discussion" with him of course. Take the Stallion Marty left for you in his lot, then go pick up this guy in Chinatown. Bring him back to the factory like usual, and Marty will be waiting outside. This time, however, it's different Carl says "I'm taking over the business now!" Marty gets blown away by Carl's shotgun. After he killed Marty, I shouted at him "I'm taking over the business now!" and killed him with my own shotgun. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ | | |__ |__ |__| | | |__| | \ |__| | | | \ |__| | | |__/ OFFROAD MISSION *********************************************************************** PATRIOT PLAYGROUND REWARD - $20,000 The vehicle for this mission is a Patriot parked out front of Supa Save in Trenton. You have to collect 15 checkpoints in 5 minutes in any order. Each checkpoint will net you 20 seconds to get to the next one. To begin, grab checkpoint 1 on the beach near the docks. Drive backwards into it to give yourself a head start when the timer begins. Drive forward and grab checkpoint 2 on the ledge a little to the right. Snag checkpoint 3 from underneath the subway platform further up the hill. Be careful, it's easy to slip and fall. Go back to the cliff at the beach. Go up atop the cliff, then grab checkpoint 4 from the edge of the cliff. Checkpoint 5 is a bit difficult to see because it's below the ledge. You can't see it until its too late to turn back. Adjust the camera to top-down view so you'll know where to go down. On the beach, take checkpoint 6 from near the water. Don't fall in or you'll die. Go under the large stone arch and take checkpoint 7 from here. Next, grab checkpoint 8 from under the high cliff here. Go across the beach to find checkpoint 9. Again be careful not to slip into the water. Turn around and climb over the small ledge on the far right of the hill to get checkpoint 10. Climb up over the very top of the hill where Salvatore's mansion is to find checkpoints 11 and 12. Drive past the mansion onto the top of the stone arch to get checkpoint 13 at the very tip of it. Be careful backing up to get out of here. Go back to the front of the mansion, then go down the cliff at the place where it curves inward to get checkpoint 14. Again go up to the mansion. Go to the other edge of the cliff, and down to a ledge where checkpoint 15 is. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ .| | | \_/ / .| |__| | /_ TOYZ MISSION *********************************************************************** MAFIA MASSACRE REWARD - $1,000 per gang car The vehicle for this mission is in an alley near Toni's restaurant in Saint Mark's.

Driving here is VERY different from Portland, so cruise around and get a feel of all the major landmarks, your hideout and the stadium being particularly important. There is also a whole new set of cars to steal here, so sample them a little too. Your first boss here is Asuka, who resides in a condo complex in Newport. ___ __ __ |__| |__ | | |__/ |__| | | __| |__| | \ | | ASUKA MISSIONS *********************************************************************** SAYONARA SALVATORE REWARD - $25,000, and a new boss Asuka says she wants to prove your loyalty by assassinating Salvatore, your old boss. She says that he will be leaving Sex Club 7 in three hours, and you have to make sure he doesn't get home alive. Make sure you buy a Sniper Rifle from Ammu-nation if you don't have one, then drive back into Portland via the newly-rebuilt Callahan Bridge. You DON'T have to take a boat. To find the bridge, turn left at the intersection near the car park, then when you get to a road with bushes in medians, turn left again. Anyway, once you are back in Portland, go to the Red Light District, near, but not at, Sex Club 7. There is an alley in the block across the street from the club. It has a staircase which will take you to the rooftops. This will allow you to get a birds-eye view of the front of the club. Wait until Salvatore leaves the club, via the service entrance, and walks out into the open. Shoot him with the Sniper Rifle. He'll die rather easily, just don't miss that first shot and you won't have to deal with the bodyguards. IMO this is the easiest and fastest way to kill him. When you arrive back in Staunton, King Courtney of the Yardies will page you, asking for your business. READER SUBMISSONS: ####################################################################### Go to AmmuNation and pick up an Uzi, AK-47, or grenades. Then, provided you know the route from Azuka to Portland well enough, drive it quickly with a Yakuza Stinger back to Portland, and avoid Sex Club 7 altogether. Instead, drive to Salvatore's house, and park the Stinger a bit away from the dirt road leading to Salvatore's house. Then, carjack any bypassing cars, and park them in the dirt driveway. Beat down the passengers with a bat to keep cop attention to a minimum. Get as many cars in the driveway as you can until Salvatore's car starts to near from. As he nears you, I've seen one of two things happen. Either the mob cars stop cold, and slowly try to inch by, or they blast at the roadblock at top speed. In either event, stand by your Stinger and either toss grenades, or shoot at your roadblock cars with the Uzi/AK-47 as the blue arrow over the mob car becomes visible. They'll catch fire, and blow up, taking the mob with them. Get in your Stinger and bolt. (Another option is to stand BEHIND the roadblock cars a bit and shoot at them with the AK-47 when the mob cars are close. This may provide a little better timing to take out the cars via the explosion). Submitted by: Jason Plackey ####################################################################### ####################################################################### First get grenades, then, if you go by Luigi's club really fast (basically don't stop moving) and go up onto the roof you will not be spotted. When Salvatore comes out, just throw some grenades into the little area and you're done. Submitted by: Galen Lynch ####################################################################### ####################################################################### Head across to Portland like normal. When you get there, head over to Borgnine Taxi Company and swipe a Borgnine. (It might help to have this car before you start the mission, but there should be time to swipe one, especially if you're driving a Yakuza Stinger or other fast car.) Now that you have a Borgnine, drive to the Pay & Spray and back into the garage. Don't back in all the way, you don't need a paint job. ;) Just back in far enough that you're out of sight. You'll soon see a message on the screen that says that Salvatore is leaving the club. This is your cue to *slowly* pull out of the driveway and start around the corner. Not too far, just enough that you can see up the street. When you see the group come out into the street. Head up the street and gun it. You'll be spotted. This is fine, you want this to happen. The important thing is to be spotted you before Salvatore gets into his car. You'll hear him say something like, "Go to work, boys!" and the goons will open fire on you. They should be in a huddle. Aim for them and as you hit them kinda steer towards one of the cars, it doesn't matter too much which one. You will knock the goons down. All you need to know is... Your car + Mafia gunfire + ramming into another car = Your car is about to explode. ;) hehe This is completely intentional. Hop out. Since your car will be blocking most of the gunfire from any goons that get back up, you should be fine. Run around the corner like you're going to go to the roof of Woody's and stop when you're out of the line of fire. (This is the side of the building closest to the Pay & Spray, not the side towards the Meeouch Club.) About the time you round the corner, your car should explode. When it does, it's Sayonara Salvatore. ;) I figured since it's a job for the Yakuza, that it's only fitting to do it Kamikaze style. hehe In case you're wondering, this is a pretty easy method to do. I didn't need to use body armor and I wasn't in need of medical attention afterwards. You should be able to get through it without too much damage. There are easier ways to do the mission, I just find this way more stylish and fun. ;) Submitted by: Yamama ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** UNDER SURVEILLANCE REWARD - $15,000 It's extremely important you get a Sniper Rifle before you start this mission. You'll meet Kenji here, and he says after you are done with Asuka's mission, come to his casino if you want work from him. After he leaves, Asuka tells you that there are Mafia spies all over Staunton looking into her group's affairs. You have to take them out. When the mission begins, you will be given a 6 and a half minute time limit to kill all the spies. The first group of agents are at the park in Belleville Park. Go into the park and head for the park pond. Now it's the time to take advantage of a bug in the enemy AI's programming. This bug does not allow opposing gang members to fire over vehicles, so all you have to do to kill the guys fortified on the pond island is to park your vehicle between them and you. Bang, bang, and now you can move on to the next group. The second group is hiding in a van at Bedford Point. Just throw one grenade and BOOM! Three well-done Mafia agents. Or just repeat the car shield trick if you don't have a grenade. The last group is observing Kenji's casino from a hotel across the way. Go to Torrington where Kenji's casino is. Climb up near the roof, then hide behind the railing at the top of the stairs. When you are here, the agents won't be able to hit you and you can snipe all of them easily. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** PAPARAZZI PURGE REWARD - $10,000 This mission is quite difficult, especially if you have the misfortune to be doing it in a time when the sea is rough because of weather. What you must do is take the police boat from the dock near Asuka's condo, then use it to kill a reporter in a boat who's been spying on Asuka. Follow the dot to the boat, and take it. Go out to where the reporter is. Don't tail his boat directly, or you'll lose him, as he is driving the fastest model of boats available in the game, the Speeder. Instead, go straight, and don't follow the reporter's weaving turns. Shoot (Circle button) the boat with the onboard cannons when you are in range. If you shoot him enough the boat will blow up and you'll win. If you are patient though, there's an easier way. Just follow him around Portland until he ditches his boat at a dock in Staunton. He will get in a car. You should be able to hunt him down much more easily on land. I have received many emails telling me that you can use the rocket launcher to blow up the boat. I know for CERTAIN that it is impossible to get a rocket launcher legally at this point in the game. You can't get rocket launchers until Phil's Army Surplus Store opens up, and that won't occur for at least three more missions. ####################################################################### When you get in the police boat if you ride as far to the right as you can and go straight until it kicks over to Portland (it shouldn't trigger the chase) then turn around and come at the boat straight on, it's much easier and no cheats involved. I actually destroyed the boat before he could even get any distance on me, because I had him at 3/4 dead by the time he even got a boat length ahead of me.

But it's not that simple. NOOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo.....the cop wants to play a "game" first, with payphones, and a strict time limit. Sound familiar? Make sure you have a fast car like the Banshee close at hand for this mission. First, get to the payphone at Torrington, near the waterfront. The cop will direct you on the phone to get to another payphone in the West Belleville Park. Actually, its not in the park, but instead its at the emergency markers blocking the circular highway ramp. After you get there, he will direct you to go to the third phone in Liberty Campus. When you get to this phone, he will order you back to the Belleville Park area, this time the southern part. This phone is still not inside the park itself, but on a block just south of it. After you answer this final phone, he will tell you to meet him in the toilets, and the time limit will be canceled. Go to the toilets to meet the cop. This guy's name is Ray, and he cares nothing about his betrayal to the badge. He says he could also use you for some work he has. Seems like just about everyone in this city needs our help... Still, I suggest you finish up Asuka's missions before you try to help out anyone else. (NOTE: I have encountered a bug on this mission. Sometimes after answering a phone, the arrow does not go to the next phone but instead stays on the phone you just answered, making it impossible to finish the mission. Try not to get frustrated if this happens, the only thing you really can do is redo the mission until the bug doesn't mess you up. It WILL go away, eventually. It did on my game.) ####################################################################### I just wanted to let you know that your guide on Gamefaqs.com (which is great, by the way) illustrates a certain "bug" in the mission on Staunton island called "Payday for Ray." You mentioned that this bug keeps the next phone from lighting up on the map. Just a little advice, I've found that the only time that the phones don't light up on the map is for a specific reason: I had at least one star on my wanted meter. I suppose that the crooked cop doesn't want any police following his trail of pay phones. Anyway, that's what I've found. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought you might want to check it out.

You have to go and take him out. Drive to Kenji's casino in Torrington, and make sure you bring a tough, durable vehicle with you, like the Enforcer parked at the LCPD building in Torrington. When you park in the blue circle, Tanner will dash down the stairs and leap inside his old Esperanto. You gotta chase after him and take him out. Only problem is, he's alerted every cop in the city to his trouble, and they will make your life miserable while trying to take him down. Ram Tanner's car as much as you can between poundings by the police, and try to drive-by him with the Uzi for extra damage. When you damage his car enough, he'll jump out. Run him down and the mission will end. The cops will instantly call off their pursuit when you kill him so don't worry about trying to escape afterwards. You're now done with Asuka for now, let's take on her brother Kenji's missions. There's another easier way, beat the mission "Arms Shortage" by Ray before taking this one on. Get a rocket launcher then blast Tanner as he zooms away at the start from the casino. ####################################################################### On the 'Two-Faced Tanner' mission, follow Tanner until he finally will turn left to drive on the waterfront (the water will be on the right). Then quickly, try to push Tanner's car into the water. This will probably take a couple of tries since the cops will be on your ass the first time you make contact with Tanner. When you're side by side with Tanners car, just steer right to make his car fall of the ledge into the water. Be careful not to fall in yourself. Submitted by: Muhammad Abdul-Bahar ####################################################################### ####################################################################### If you have found enough Hidden Packages to get the Molotov Cocktails, I believe it's 40, then pick those up before you head to Asuka for the mission. Or if you don't have any Molotovs at your hideout you can always trek back to Portland and get them in the tunnel by 8 Ball's. Once you get the mission, go to the casino and park close by the blue circle, as close as possible without being in it. Run into the circle with the Molotovs selected as your weapon, then wait for the cut scene. Right after the cutscene toss a Molotov in front of Tanner's car, at this point jump in your car and 1 of 2 things can happen: 1) it'll hit his car and the car will catch fire or 2) it will miss his car. If it hits his car get the hell out of there because the cops are coming, but don't worry the car will blow up soon anyway and they will be off of you. If it misses, don't worry because you wont get any stars, but speed after him and get in front of him and stop, not to close because if he hits you the cops come and you are gone. Once you stop toss another Molotov. Repeat this till you either run out of Molotovs or you destroy his car. This may seem kinda hard but with some aim, skill and a bit of luck it can be pulled off quite easily. Last but not least, try to hit Tanner early because he always goes straight from the casino, so you can almost anticipate when his car will get across the street and when to throw the Molotov. The longer the pursuit the harder it gets because this guy is pretty elaborate in his getaway routes. Submitted by: Mike Morse ####################################################################### (NOTE: I must take this time to point out something. There is a game on PSX called Driver, which was made by Reflections, and it was about an undercover cop who was also named Tanner, only it took place in the '70's. This Tanner dresses A LOT like the Tanner in this game, plus, he's driving an old, '70's looking car in this mission, that looks A LOT like the car he uses in some of the cutscenes in Driver 2. Asuka describes him as "strangely animated," and "more or less useless without a car." In Driver 2, when Tanner got out of the car, he looked *strangely animated* when he ran on foot, and the controls were also *more or less useless without a car*. I spent about 30 seconds just trying to press this one switch in a mission, and that caused me to fail it because I ran out of time. Is all of this REALLY coincidence? Is Rockstar trying to say that their game is better than Reflections' games, by killing off this character that just happens to have A LOT in similarity to his look-alike in their games? Who knows :) *********************************************************************** __ |__/ |__ |\ | | | | \ |__ | \| |__| | KENJI MISSIONS *********************************************************************** KANBU BUST-OUT REWARD - $30,000 Kenji needs you to break out of jail an important member of his family. The first thing you need to do is get hold of a police car. That should be easy. Head for the LCPD building in Torrington and there will be one parked in the front lot for you to steal. It's only a couple blocks away from the casino. Next, you need to take the car to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop in Newport to get it rigged with a bomb. Take the car back to the police station, but this time use the police car to open the automatic gate in the front lot. Drive the police car into the back lot, and park it next to the wall indicated by the blue circle. Activate the bomb with Circle, then stand back and the bomb will blow a hole in the wall, releasing the Yakuza Kanbu. Doing this will also get you a 3 star wanted level. Get inside a car with him, then take the ramp to the right of the destroyed wall, as this one will lead you to a Police Bribe. Go to the alley where the Pay and Spray is in Newport. You will find a Blista in one of the garages here. Take it to the Pay and Spray in this same alley to lose your wanted level. Then drive the Kanbu to the Hyaku Dojo in Bedford point to finish the mission. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** GRAND THEFT AUTO REWARD - $25,000 Kenji owes someone a favor, and he wants you to steal him certain models of cars for his collection to pay for his debts. He wants them delivered to his garage in Newport, with NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. Remember, not one scratch is permissible. If you scratch any car, take it to the Pay and Spray next door to the garage. After you scratch the car, you might as well drive any way you want to because the Pay and Spray repairs all damages. If you want to, you can just drive any way you want to all the way there and get the cars repaired at the Pay and Spray, as it's right next door to the garage you need to take them to. Be careful, though, because getting the cars repaired costs precious time. Park the car inside the garage Kenji designated, and when the game tells you to get out of the car and go outside, do so. Make sure you get this message before you step out, otherwise the game won't register the car is there. You have six minutes to do this in. Don't go to the pink dot, because that's where the garage is. Instead, go to the red dots, where the cars are. The first car to jack is a Stinger in Bedford Point. It's inside a closed-in parking lot, so you'll need to use an alley. The second car is an Infernus parked at the football stadium in Aspatria. The last car is a Cheetah parked at the hospital in Rockford. Once all three cars have been delivered, you'll complete the mission. (NOTE: There is a bug I have encountered on this mission in my game. Sometimes the game just refused to close the garage door no matter what, making the mission impossible to finish. If this happens, try parking the car further inside the garage. If that does not fix it, then it's the bug, and you'll just have to restart. It will fix itself eventually, so don't get impatient.) ####################################################################### I think I have figured out the problem with the garage doors. It seems when the garage door does not shut; it is because the car door is still open. Anytime I went back to back in the car and just got out again, but made sure I shut the door, the big door closed. This always works for me, so it may work for everybody. Submitted by: Charlie Beck ####################################################################### ####################################################################### I figured what is wrong in the missions with the garage doors. It is not the car door that is the problem, it is that is the car is not parked straight then it won't close. I left the car door open every time but when I didn't park one of the cars straight, it didn't shut. Submitted by: David Cooper ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** DEAL STEAL REWARD - $25,000 The Colombian Cartel are refusing to listen to the Yakuza's requests to stay out of Liberty City. Now they are trying to gain a firmer foothold by allying with the Yardies. What you must do is steal a Yardie Lobo, and use it to fool the Cartel at a meeting so you can get in close and kill them off. Immediately go north from the casino, and you are bound to see Yardie Lobos driving down the highway. In case you didn't know, they are the reddish cars with a gold top, and leopard skin seats. After you steal one, go meet your contact in Aspatria. He will tell you the meeting is taking place at the hospital parking lot in Rockford. Get over there and park in the blue circle. Tap the horn to get the Colombians to come over, then take cover behind your car and kill off all the Colombians. After you have dealt with them, destroy their trucks, then take their briefcase. Take the briefcase back to the parking lot behind Kenji's casino. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** SHIMA REWARD - $10,000 You need to go pick up some protection money from certain businesses and bring it back to the casino for Kenji. Drive to Torrington to collect the first briefcase. Next, go to Bedford Point, where all the flashy neon signs are to collect the second briefcase. Lastly, go to Belleville Park to get to the next business that owes you money. It turns out the place has been looted by a rival gang, and the owner has no money left to pay. You must track down this rival gang, and take the protection money the grocery owes you. It turns out they are in Portland, so head over there. The dot will lead you to Hepburn Heights. The people responsible are the Diablos. Park outside the fence of their lot, and use your car as cover. They will foolishly try to run through the fence, but of course that won't work, so you can easily kill them all. Take the final briefcase they were guarding, and head back for Staunton. When you get the money back to the parking lot behind Kenji's casino, the mission will be over. If you have a bulletproof vehicle, you can simply stop your car so that the Diablos will see you and run over while shooting. You can shoot them up with the Uzi as they stupidly try to open the door. If things get too desperate, all you have to do is hit the gas to get away. ####################################################################### I did everything as it stated in the first portion of the walkthrough, however the one part that differed for me was when I ended up in Hepburn Heights. Instead of parking directly outside of the wall, I proceeded to go across the street to the apartment blocks where one of the hidden packages was located. There is a ramp located there, where if you were to take the jump you would land in the lot where the Diablos are. I drove my Banshee to the top of the ramp so that the car was half on the ramp and half off, I got out of the car and jumped on top of the car and proceeded to use the sniper rifle to eliminate the Diablos. That technique worked very well for me and I had no problems at all finishing the mission. Submitted by: Jason Juarez ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** SMACK DOWN REWARD - $10,000, plus $1,000 for every Yardie killed after 8 Kenji is extremely angry at you because you were unsuccessful in breaking up the Jamaicans and Cartel's alliance. You now have to go out and kill off the Yardies who are dealing the SPANK on the street. You have to kill off at least eight Yardies to finish the mission. You have to take them down quickly because once they are out of SPANK they will leave the streets. For every Yardie you take down, another one will come on the streets to take his place. This mission is just basically seek and destroy. Run them over at high speed to kill them fast. For every Yardie you kill after 8, you will receive a bonus $1000 added to the mission reward. *********************************************************************** ___ __ |__| |__| \_/ | \ | | | RAY MISSIONS *********************************************************************** SILENCE THE SNEAK REWARD - $30,000 There's a witness, called McAffrey, of the goings-on of the crime underworld that is under police protection. You have to blow up his apartment to force him out into the open, then kill him. Make sure you have Grenades or Molotov Cocktails with you when you begin this mission. Head for the large alley behind the car park at Newport. You'll get a cinematic showing you which window to aim for. Before throwing that bomb, block the alleyway to the right of the window with a heavy vehicle, like an Enforcer. You will see why I'm telling you to do this in a bit. Stand on the ramp near the window, and hopefully you'll eventually toss an explosive inside the window. Use the sniper rifle to help get yourself correctly lined up. Make sure to aim to the LEFT of the window, not straight at it, because your guy is right-handed. I can't give a good location on the ramp to stand because the guy varies his throws too much, even if you always hold down the button the same amount of time. Sometimes he'll throw them high, sometimes low. Sometimes more to the left, other times more to the right. After you do manage that lucky throw, the garage door to the left of the window will open up, and McAffrey will try to flee in his car, while the cops in the garage with him will keep you busy. Hopefully the game didn't do that evil trick of making the vehicle vanish from its place in front of the exit. Grab another car if McAffrey did manage to flee the scene; it's gonna be real tough to catch him. I say the best way to kill him is to drive-by him from the median in the middle of the freeway he drives onto. He usually stays on the freeway, no cars drive on the median, and there aren't any light poles to watch out for in one part of the freeway. The first time I beat this mission, I got lucky because he accidentally drove into the ocean behind Kenji's casino. ####################################################################### In your Silence the Sneak mission, you mention standing on the ramp and hoping for a lucky shot through the window with a grenade. I tried this at first, as well (thinking I needed the height). I eventually did make it, but only after 15-20 grenades. I've found the easiest way is simply to stand directly in front of the window (off the ramp), and toss one. It typically goes right in, provided your distance from the window is about right. Submitted by: Jason Plackey ####################################################################### ####################################################################### In your walkthrough for the "Silence the Sneak" mission, you advise blocking off the alley with a car to prevent McAffery from escaping. When I first started this mission, that was what my instinct told me to do, but he kept escaping. I had gotten really frustrated when inspiration hit. Just block the garage he comes out of (I used an Enforcer), and toss a couple grenades when it opens. Target eliminated; no fuss, no muss. Submitted by: Jim Burm ####################################################################### ####################################################################### On the mission Silence the Sneak, I found an even EASIER way to get the grenade into the room other than going on the ramp or near it. After you put the large vehicle in front of the garage as you suggested, there is a van in an open garage across the pavement from the room. Take the van, and place it lined up with the room on the part of the pavement that slants downwards. Now, all you have to do is jump on top of the van and throw the grenade in. You may have to move back and forth on top of the van to get the correct distance, but this has worked for me every time. Also, watch out for grenades bouncing back off the walls... They can sometimes be painful if you're not quick enough. Submitted by: Blue Devil ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** ARMS SHORTAGE REWARD - $10,000, and the Army Surplus Store will open up for business A buddy of Ray's runs an army surplus store in Rockford. The Cartel has threatened to rip off his stock today, so you will need to back him up. Get to Rockford. The place you are looking for is near the football stadium. When you arrive, Phil will tell you to grab any guns you can find, because the Cartel will be arriving soon. First, get your car, and set it up so your car is covering the opening between the sandbag cover and the warehouse. From here, you can perform the car barricade trick and easily shoot any Colombian who dares enter your field of vision from the front gate. Watch out though, two guys will enter via the alley in the corner across the yard from you. This is a pretty easy way to do it. Just don't let Phil die and you'll win. Or, you could block that little alleyway with your car, then quickly block the front gate with the Barracks OL parked nearby. This will keep any enemies from entering. Do this fast, because you don't have much time to prepare after Phil finishes talking. After you have done that, toss grenades over the vehicles till all the Colombians have been blown to dust. Lastly, you could come with a tall vehicle, like your own Cartel Cruiser, and leap up on the crates to get the rocket launcher. Blow up all the cars before anyone can even get out. And be sure to fire a rocket at the alley to stop those two sneaky Colombians from getting in a surprise attack. After you have killed everyone, you will be told to check on Phil. Before you do that, be sure to grab all the items, as you will get them for free. After you do check on Phil, the items will vanish, and now to get guns you'll have to pay for them. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** EVIDENCE DASH REWARD - $10,000, and a new boss There is an important man in town, and the police have some rather embarrassing photographs of him. You have to ram the truck that is carrying the evidence until the files fall out, then collect them on the ground. After you have all the files, leave them in the car and blow it up. Track down the pickup that is transporting the evidence. Ram it until a piece of evidence falls out. Collect it, then continue pursuing and ramming the truck until you have all the evidence. Of course the police are going to try to stop you. After you have all the evidence, find some nice, quiet alley. Get out of your car, then blow it up. After you beat this mission, Donald Love, the man whose reputation you were protecting, will become available as a boss. If you want to, you can tag the pickup once to get your star rating up to two, then go to the Pay and Spray to lose it. When you come back, you won't get a wanted level for hitting the pickup. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** GONE FISHING REWARD - $15,000 Ray suspects his partner of being a rat, and says you need to go eliminate him. He usually goes fishing out by the lighthouse at Portland Rock. If you looked around on the beach below Salvatore's mansion, you should have already seen it. Don't worry, this boat mission is a lot easier than the last one. First, go find a police boat. The dot will point you towards a dock in Portland, but its much easier to get the one from near Asuka's condo in Newport. After you do get a police boat, set sail for Portland Rock. You will spot Ray's partner in a blue boat, using a rather unique method to catch fish. When he sees you, he'll try to flee. Shoot up his boat like you did with the reporter in the last mission. His boat is much slower, so this will be easy. Just watch out for the bombs he drops behind him and you'll be fine. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** PLASTER BLASTER REWARD - $15,000 McAffrey is still alive it turns out, and he's getting ready to make a Federal Deposition today. You need to hunt down the ambulance that's transporting him, and kill him again. First, head for Rockford to find the ambulance. When the driver spots you, he'll radio for help and you'll get a two star wanted rating. You need to ram the ambulance enough so that McAffrey falls out of the back door in his full body cast. After he does fall out, go to the Pay and Spray to lose your wanted level, then come back and throw grenades at him until he dies, or you could run back and forth over him if you're patient. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ __ | \ | | |\ | |__| | | \ |__/ |__| | \| | | |__ |__/ IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: If you want to get 100% completion in this game, then watch out for Donald Love, who you will meet through Ray. In one of his missions, he will order you to kill off an important someone who will remain nameless for now. If you do this mission before finishing up a certain person's missions, you will be unable to complete all the missions and get 100% completion. DONALD MISSIONS *********************************************************************** LIBERATOR REWARD - $40,000 You have to rescue Donald's "Old Oriental Gentleman" from the Colombians in Aspatria. First, get a Cartel Cruiser, so you can infiltrate their hideout. They are usually seen driving around the construction site in Fort Staunton, so head there. After you get hold of one of their cars, head for their hideout in Aspatria. The automated gate will open up for you. Now, use the Cartel Cruiser to perform the car shield trick again to eliminate all the enemies in the area. The Old Oriental Gentleman is inside one of the garages. Pull up next to a garage and get out of your vehicle to make them open up. Some of them have just enemies, but the one has him inside. Eliminate the guard in the garage with the Old Oriental Gentleman, then get in a car with him. Go back to Donald Love's apartment. BTW, you may want to save a Cartel Cruiser from the Colombian's hideout, as you'll need one for the next mission. ####################################################################### Make sure you have a sniper rifle. If you must, purchase one at Ammu-Nation. Drive towards the Colombian hideout but park across the street, taking care NOT to open the gate. Ignoring the game's warnings, get out of your car and aim your sniper rifle through the gate. You should have clear shots at four Colombians. They will not shoot back or evade your fire. Take your time. Once there are no more visible targets, drive the Cartel Cruiser inside. There will be two men around the corner; kill them any way you prefer. The simplest way is to run them over. Now you can check the garages at your leisure for the "Old Oriental Gentleman." Have a weapon ready as you will face more gunfire from the guards in the garages. Still, opening doors one at a time you should find the prisoner without taking any hits. Patience is key! Submitted by: Daniel Feit ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** WAKA-GASHIRA WIPEOUT REWARD - $30,000 This is the mission I warned you about above. Donald will tell you to kill Kenji with a Cartel Cruiser so the Yazuka will think the Colombians are declaring war upon them. Make TOTALLY sure you have all of Kenji's missions done before accepting this one, otherwise you won't be able to get 100% completion on your game file. First, if you didn't save a Cartel Cruiser from the last mission, then go to the construction site in Fort Staunton to get another one. After you have one, head for the car park in Newport, as Kenji is at a meeting on the top floor. When you get up there, run Kenji down, then leap off the ramp up here to escape quickly. Make this hit-and-run as fast as you can before the Yakuzas can shoot your truck up. The police will be called to the scene after the assassination and you'll get a three-star rating. Get out of Newport and fast! Once you leave the Newport area and ditch the Cartel Cruiser, the mission will end, and the police will disperse. ####################################################################### I was having trouble with the gang members blowing up my Cartel Cruiser with their guns before I could jump off the ramp. I tried this mission probably 20 times. I got a rocket launcher, parked across the street from the entrance of the parking garage and started firing the rocket launcher toward the top level of the parking garage. I didn't think it was doing any good, but when I got in the parking garage I immediately got a 3 star wanted level and when I got the to the top level, there were no gang members, only Kenji. Run him over, then jump the ramp and get out of there. No worry about the Yazuka shooting up your car. Submitted by: Jarrod Miles ####################################################################### Taylor Anderson gives an easier place to shoot from if you want to try the Rocket Launcher way: "Drive up into the levels below the very top and bring out the launcher. Shoot around the cieling randomly and after a few shots you should hear explosions and get a 3 star wanted level." *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** A DROP IN THE OCEAN REWARD - $10,000, two old bosses reopen for business again, and access to Shoreside Vale A light aircraft is supposed to go over the bay today. You need to pick up several packages it drops before anyone else does, then bring them back to Donald. You have two minutes to get to a boat, then get out in the water to collect the boxes. Head for Asuka's condo in Newport, as there's lots of boats parked over there. After you do get a boat, go out to meet the plane by following the yellow dot. When the time limit expires, the plane will begin dropping the packages. For each package you pick up, you'll get another star in your wanted level, except the last one. So, after you gather them all up, you'll have FIVE STARS!!! That means the FBI are gonna be after you when you come back to shore. The best course of action once you arrive back in Staunton would to be to go to the Pay and Spray. Fortunately, its practically right next door to Asuka's condo. Dock at Asuka's place, get a car, then take the road leading into the city. The alley leading to the Pay and Spray is on the right of this street. Pull in there, get your car sprayed, and then you can just enjoy a nice, and quiet drive back to Donald's apartment. After you get back in your car again, you'll hear a radio announcement about the Shoreside Lift Bridge being fixed and reopened to traffic. Also, Ray will have more missions for you to do, plus Donald has more other missions for you as well. But before you take them on, why not try out King Courtney's missions for the Yardies? Go to the payphone near the St. Matthias University on Liberty Campus for work. *********************************************************************** __ __ __ __ ___ __ |__/ | |\ | | _ | | | | | |__| | |\ | |__ \_/ | \ | | \| |__| |__ |__| |__| | \ | | \| |__ | KING COURTNEY MISSIONS *********************************************************************** BLING-BLING SCRAMBLE REWARD - $1,000 per checkpoint There are checkpoints the King has set up all over Staunton. Whoever hits the most checkpoints out of 15 wins. Get a fast car, then get to the stadium, and when you go in the blue circle, make sure your car is pointed towards the city. Soon the other racers will arrive. The only racer you really have to worry about is the guy driving the Cheetah. The other fools brought trucks, so its mostly between you and the guy with the Cheetah. IMO this race is a lot easier than the Turismo one. You shouldn't have much trouble. If you come back to King Courtney's phone after you've beaten all the missions for it, you'll get to replay this one. This is only so you can get a better score for this mission in the status screen in the pause menu. After you beat this mission once, you'll never have to play it again. ####################################################################### On the Bling-Bling Scramble mission for King Courtney, I found an alternative way to beat this. First, get a tank, then do Bling-Bling Scramble mission. Once the race starts, blow up all your competitors the evil way. Then just race through all fifteen checkpoints and win. Submitted by: BMHero ####################################################################### ####################################################################### When you park your car in the blue marker, the cars you race against pull up and you can see them, right when the count down is done, get out of your car and get our your bazooka. Then just blow all those little cars away. Take out the fastest car first, then track down the other ones one by one. You'll be able to do things a lot easier this way. Sometimes the cars come back (don't ask me how...maybe I missed). Anyway, I've never had to kill them more than 2 twice. If it takes you longer than about 2 minutes, then just forget it and try to get some checkpoints. But if you can manage it in less than 2 minutes there should be enough check points left over for you to gather up and win, if you're an annoyance to the other cars enough to slow them down.

At the mission start, some Yardies will show up in a Perennial. They tell you to get in, and that they are only here to make sure you don't chicken out. You have to do the driving and the shooting. They'll hand you an Uzi, and tell you to drive. Go to Portland, and head for Hepburn Heights. Here, you need to shoot 10 Diablos with the Uzi, and you aren't allowed to leave the car. The guys you need to shoot are wearing red or blue bandannas and wearing blue clothes. This will undoubtedly attract unwanted attention from the cops. If the action gets too hot, then stop in the Pay and Spray, as it's right next to Hepburn Heights. After you meet your quota of 10 Diablo deaths, get your car sprayed again if you have a wanted level of two or higher, then go back to Yardie turf on Staunton as the Jamaicans order you. Take the guys to the Shopping Mall in Newport to end the mission. ####################################################################### I was able to very easily kill 10 Diablos without gaining a single star of wanted level simply by running them down on the sidewalks. No fuss, no muss, and no unwanted police attention.

He needs a Mafia Sentinel, a Yakuza Stinger, and a Diablo Stallion. He needs them in relatively good condition, not perfect thankfully. They must all be transported to his garage in Newport. I say you go after the Mafia Sentinel first to get it out of your hair. This is a black four-door sedan, and it looks like a BMW. It's the most difficult one to get because the Mafia have some real powerful shotguns that'll blow up a car in a few good hits. You'll find these cars driving around Saint Mark's in Portland, like you always have. Try to grab one that's on the outer rim of Saint Mark's though, so you won't have to deal with the Mafia. Under the train tracks near the hospital is a good spot to look for one. If you want to get one of these cars easy, then sneak up the side of the hill Salvatore's mansion is on top of. You will find two of them parked there with no Mafia guys around. The second car to go after is a Diablo Stallion. It's a black car with flames painted on the sides. You'll find them in Hepburn Heights, also in Portland. They are infinitely easier to get, as all the Diablos have for weapons is baseball bats. Just drive around the apartments there and you're bound to see one. The last car to go after is the Yakuza Stinger. Its a white car with red on the sides. This is the easiest car to get. Simply go to Asuka's apartment and there is one parked right outside. No mess and no fuss. (NOTE: There is a bug I have encountered on this mission in my game. Sometimes the game just refused to close the garage door no matter what, making the mission impossible to finish. If this happens, try parking the car further inside the garage. If that does not fix it, then it's the bug, and you'll just have to restart. It will fix itself eventually, so don't get impatient.) ####################################################################### I think I have figured out the problem with the garage door. It seems when the garage door does not shut; it is because the car door is still open. Anytime I went back to back in the car and just got out again, but made sure I shut the door, the big door closed. This always works for me, so it may work for everybody. Submitted by: Charlie Beck ####################################################################### ####################################################################### I figured what is wrong in the missions with the garage doors. It is not the car door that is the problem, it is that is the car is not parked straight then it won't close. I left the car door open every time but when I didn't park one of the cars straight, it didn't shut.

It's in the same parking lot as the Stinger was in Grand Theft Auto. You have a minute and a half to get over there. Move fast. Inside you'll find a note, it says that it's time you witnessed the TRUE power of SPANK. A van drives up, and a guy jumps out. He's been high on SPANK, and has a bomb on his chest! He runs over and blows himself up next to your car. Now, there are crazy spanked-up madmen everywhere! King Courtney double-crossed you! You have to destroy the vans, or suicide bombers will spawn endlessly from them. The first thing you should do is escape the parking lot as fast as you can. Unfortunately, all the escape routes are blocked by vans with the same suicide bombers in them. The best van to try to break through is the one up and to the right. You will have a brief moment to dash to freedom before the guy leaps out of the van to get you. After you manage to get past the van, shoot the bomber who chases after you. He'll blow up. Then, another bomber will leap out. When he walks around the van, shoot him to destroy him and the van. Next, drive around on the street to the entrances to the other alleys on this block, and sneak up on the vans from behind them. Either shoot up the van there yourself, or wait for the bombers to find you and shoot them when they come you. That leaves two vans in the parking lot. Shoot the bombers, then shoot the next bombers when they get out of their vans. You are finished with King Courtney now. This is from the boards at www.gamefaqs.com. Try waiting until you unlock Shoreside Vale if you are desperate. Then, you can get hold of a tank and smash through everything with little damage. Leave it in the parking lot ahead of time, because tanks are remembered in the game's memory. That means you can leave a tank anywhere for as long as you want and it will always be where you left it. ####################################################################### On the kingdom come mission, if you have an m-16, you can head out of the courtyard to the right, make a left out of the lot, make another left at the light, and look for an entrance on the left back into the courtyard. This will take you up to an area with a secret package that also happens to be an excellent sniping area for 3 of the 4 vans. Submitted by: Zac Christenson ####################################################################### ####################################################################### Another way to beat this mission is after reading the letter and seeing the first guy blow up next to your car, backup really fast turning to where you're facing one of the vans. Drive at the van and slam into hitting the brakes. Escape your car fast. If performed correctly, one of the Spank men should have hit your car causing it to become on fire, although, you also slammed into the van. When you escape the car your car will blow up, blowing the van to blow up too. NOW MAKE A FAST DASH TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND RUN OUT OF THERE. After escaping and keeping the spank man from being on your tail, you run around to the other van and blow it up with gernades or any weapon available to you. Submitted by: Snakeeyes ####################################################################### ####################################################################### If you have a bullet/fire/explosion proof vehicle, then take that car and park it next to the car with the letter in it. Then, once the suicide bomber blows up on your car, just get out and into your explosion proof car right next to you. Then you can have fun in just running over all the suicide bombers. To beat it just run over a suicide bomber when he is right next to a van. Do that for all the vans.

You've got 2 minutes to collect 12 checkpoints in any order. You'll get 10 seconds for each checkpoint. Be careful, the Landstalker is not as great at climbing hills as the Patriot. To start off, line yourself up with the dock so you can drive straight through, hit the checkpoint, and land in the water without getting hung up on a pole. Ford the pond and get checkpoint 2 from the island in the middle of the pond. Jump off the island and head for the fence that you should be facing right now. Drive right next to the fence to get checkpoints 3 and 4. Back up a little to nab checkpoint 5. After you do that, drive through the toilet block where Ray gives out his missions to get checkpoint 6. Go up the stairs leading to the statue to collect checkpoint 7. Back up, and collect checkpoint 8 that's next to the railing. Checkpoints 9, 10, and 11 are around the small park bridge. When you get all of them at the bridge, drive to the end of the park where final checkpoint 12 is sitting all by its lonesome self. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** MULTI-STORY MAYHEM REWARD - $30,000 This one is quite different from all the other offroad missions. To start this one, you must steal a Stallion that is OUTSIDE the garage, NOT one that's inside. To use one that's inside, bring it outside, then get out, and get back in. Make sure your car is pointed at the door. You have to collect 20 checkpoints in any order in two minutes. Each one adds 5 seconds, to the timer that starts IMMEDIATELY after the mission begins. There are four checkpoints on each floor of the garage. You can basically pick them up in any order as long as you clear out each floor while going up. The last checkpoint is hovering in midair next to the garage. You have to use the ramp to get it. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ .| | | \_/ / .| |__| | /_ TOYZ MISSION *********************************************************************** CASINO CALAMITY REWARD - $1,000 per gang car The vehicle for this mission is behind a small planter you can drive over, across the street from Kenji's casino. You have two minutes to blow up as many Yakuza Stingers as possible. The best place for kills is in front of the casino itself. It's easy to accidentally blow yourself up in this mission, because when the RC cars first go, they are aimed in the general direction of your van. *********************************************************************** **************************** 6C - SHORESIDE VALE MISSIONS **************************** ______ _ _ _____ _____ _____ _____ _ _____ _____ | ___| | | | | | _ | | _ | | ___| | ___| | | | _ \ | ___| | |___ | |_| | | | | | | |_| / | |___ | |___ | | | | | | | |___ |___ | | _ | | | | | | _ \ | ___| |___ | | | | | | | | ___| ____| | | | | | | |_| | | | | | | |___ ___| | | | | |_| | | |___ |_____| |_| |_| |_____| |_| |_| |_____| |_____| |_| |_____/ |_____| __ _ _____ _ _____ | | | | | _ | | | | ___| | | | | | |_| | | | | |___ | | | | | _ | | | | ___| | \_/ | | | | | | |____ | |___ \_____/ |_| |_| |______| |_____| Here we are, the final district! This place has probably the most complex layout of all. Its roads have lots of hills and curves, making it a challenge to drive, and there are bridges and tunnels networking this place. Spend some time cruising around here, getting to know where everything is, where every bridge leads, where every tunnel goes. You won't really see any new cars here, sadly. There is the Dodo plane you can steal at the Francis International Airport, though it takes a lot of practice to learn how to fly it. Let's do Ray first, because his only mission for this part of the game has great rewards. IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: At some point while you are in Shoreside Vale, D-Ice of the Red Jacks will page you for work. Sometimes a bug occurs on his first mission, forcing you to restart. Watch out for it, because the only way to fix it is to start a completely new file. ___ __ |__| |__| \_/ | \ | | | RAY MISSION *********************************************************************** MARKED MAN REWARD - $20,000, a truckload of artillery, and a bulletproof Patriot The CIA have come to Liberty City, and they want to take over this SPANK business. Ray is a marked man, so he needs you to get him to his flight at the airport so he can skip town. Believe me, you oughta trust him when he says he'll make it worth your while :) Firstly, get a fast car. You need to get to the Francis International Airport in three minutes, and you aren't allowed to use the Shoreside Lift Bridge because the CIA have surveillance teams there. You'll need to take another route. I say the best route is the traffic tunnel behind the hospital in Rockford. Get over there FAST. Drive down the tunnel. Try to go fast, but take it easy when you have to. It's much better to lose a couple of seconds to avoid a wreck than to get your car blown up. You need to go left at the first intersection, then left again at the second intersection. If you follow my directions correctly, you'll be outside the airport. Drive Ray to the entrance, and he'll give you a key to his lockup, where he stashed supplies and cash for you. Take the tunnel again, because the CIA will still shoot at you if you try to go that way. Turn right at the first intersection, and right again at the second intersection. Go back to Staunton, and you'll find his lockup in Newport, just to the right of Callahan Bridge. Inside, he left you a rocket launcher, a sniper rifle, an M16, a flame-thrower, and a bulletproof Patriot. Ray is a real nice guy for being a sleazy cop. This mission is also his first and last one for Shoreside Vale. If you got the bulletproof Cheetah from the TURISMO mission, the bulletproof Bobcat from EVIDENCE DASH, or the bulletproof Securicar from VAN HEIST, then this mission will be super easy. Just drive across the Shoreside Lift Bridge like nobody is shooting at you. The bullets from the CIA agents won't even scratch your bulletproof car. If you need to know how to get those cars, then read towards the end of the Extra Things section and there is a walkthrough for getting each of them. I don't consider this cheating because most of these vehicles are really hard to get. You could also use one of the other BP Vehicles or the tank from the army (good luck.) ####################################################################### For the marked man mission, you can get there in like 2 minutes if you get a fast car and go right to the subway, across from the hospital stairs and the construction site. Take the fast car down the steps slowly and don't wreck it. Drive right on the subway tracks, and turn right onto them to get to Shoreside Vale. You will get to the other station in about a minute or less. When you're there, turn onto the left passenger loading dock and go upstairs. You'll be right outside the airport with 2 blocks more to go. It's very fast and you don't have to worry about hitting cars on the underground tunnel. Go back the same way and pick up Ray's weapons and cartel.

Be sure you guard it with your life. :) ___ __ __ __ | \ | | |\ | |__| | | \ |__/ |__| | \| | | |__ |__/ DONALD MISSIONS *********************************************************************** GRAND THEFT AERO REWARD - $50,000, and an old boss reopens for business again Make sure you've got lots of sniper rifle or M16 ammo for this mission. Donald says that those packages you picked up for him before were just decoys. The real package you need to get is still in the plane. The authorities have seized the plane and are searching it thoroughly. Donald says he has bribed the airport officials, and that your real cargo is waiting at the customs hanger in the Francis International Airport at Shoreside Vale. First, get a car that is low to the ground, one that you can perform the car shield trick with well, like say the taxi. Go to Shoreside Vale over the Shoreside Lift Bridge and go towards the customs hanger. You'll then discover the Colombian Cartel have beaten you to the plane. The most effective way to eliminate them is to do the car shield trick. After you eliminate them all, get inside the plane. You'll discover that the package has been taken by the Cartel. Check the van outside and it will read "Panlantic Construction Company." This clue will point you towards the construction site back in Staunton. Cross the Shoreside Lift Bridge again, and go to the construction site in Fort Staunton. They are hiding in that maze of walls near the main building. Before going in to handle them, take out the single Colombian inside the partial skyscraper nearby. After you do that, look around in this place for stairs going up. This place is an excellent sniper's nest. You can take out quite a few guys from up here, making your journey through the maze below easier. After you've shot everyone you can, go back down the stairs, and use the car barricade trick to eliminate anyone who gets in your way. Be careful, the Colombians like to hide right out of sight behind corners, and if they are high up over you, the car shield trick won't work. You'll be told to take the elevator to the top of the tower after you have eliminated everyone. Do so, and you'll see that Miguel and Catalina, the leaders of the Cartel, have your package. You'll hold them at gunpoint, and Miguel says he'll give up the package. Catalina shoots him in the back for not trying to escape, then leaps off the building and into a pile of cardboard boxes. She will get away, and then Asuka will come. She will talk about how Miguel killed her brother (though we all know the truth :) and says she's now going to milk him for all of his information. She says to come back later because you'll need to help her with the new plans she's gonna make with his info. After the conversation, you'll go back down the elevator again. Note that the Yakuza have taken over the compound. Finish up your original mission of taking the package back to Donald Love's place. ####################################################################### On the Grand Theft Aero mission, I much prefer parking behind the plane directly opposite of the hanger. Then I pull out the sniper rifle and pop one of the guys on the right. This causes them all to run to their cover, but you can get the other two on the left pretty easy from where you're at, and then just take your vehicle of choice and mash the last one with it. Submitted by: Zac Christenson ####################################################################### ####################################################################### In the Grand Theft Aero mission, another good sniper's nest is across the street from the construction company, in a balcony-like structure with an adrenaline pill on it. From your hideout go left, then continue where the streets join together. On the first or second building on the left side, pay attention and you'll notice stairs going up the side. It's right there. I was able to pick off 4 Cartels from there, and after using the half-built tower afterwards there was only one Cartel left to kill at close range. This makes the mission absurdly easy. Submitted by: Le Machin ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** ESCORT SERVICE REWARD - $40,000 This would be a nice mission to try out your bulletproof Patriot on. You must escort the Old Oriental Gentleman to Pike Creek in Shoreside Vale so the package you got back can be authenticated. When you're all set, drive to the red dot nearby to begin. At a few times during the ride, a Cartel Cruiser will try to attack the van the Old Oriental Gentleman is driving. Basically take all the damage that the Cartel are trying to cause to the truck. Try to shoot up any truck that comes your way. Explosions will not damage the truck the Oriental Gentleman is driving, so don't worry about the flaming wrecks. Also beware Cartel guys on the streets shooting at the van. The Old Oriental Gentleman is a real awful driver, so try to herd away cars that get in his way with your Uzi. When he reaches the AMCO building in Pike Creek, the mission is over. ####################################################################### On the mission Escort Service for Donald Love there is a glitch. If you just leave the oriental man alone and do something else he will get no damage and will still go to the warehouse. All you have to do is check out the exit to the tunnel when it tells you to, and stay on the third island (but not near him) after that. Submitted by: Joe Schmied ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** DECOY REWARD - $45,000 You must go back to the AMCO building in Pike Creek, Shoreside, because the SWAT teams have Donald's Old Oriental Gentleman trapped in there with the package. You need to go in there, take the Securicar, and distract the police long enough for the Old Oriental Gentleman to get away. Get a car, and drive into Shoreside Vale. Head for the AMCO building in Pike Creek. After you take the vehicle, about three billion police cars and SWAT trucks will instantly be all over you. You have to distract them for three minutes. Look around in this area of the neighborhood for some lot to hide inside, preferably one with a building that has a garage so you can hide from the helicopters. The police can't enter most of the lots in this area very well, so you can just stay in one of them and wait it out until the time limit expires. The Pay and Spray won't be able to respray your car to get rid of your wanted level (though that garage is a good place to hide), and (submitted by Daniel Feit) Police Bribes won't bring your level down either. ####################################################################### On the mission where you have to survive in the armored truck for two minutes, I found the best way is to hang a right and go on the main road towards the airport, and then weave in and out underneath the hangers. The helicopter can't shoot you and only two or three cruisers will follow you. Submitted by: Graeme Andrew Okurley ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** LOVE'S DISAPPEARANCE REWARD - NOTHING! Your character will go to Love's rooftop garden like always, but millionaire-boy is nowhere to be found. He'll look around a little longer, then leave. Well, that's it! You've completed the "mission." As Donald has mysteriously vanished, we are done with him. Let's work for Asuka again. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ |__| |__ | | |__/ |__| | | __| |__| | \ | | ASUKA MISSIONS *********************************************************************** BAIT REWARD - $35,000 Miguel has revealed that there are three death squads, all in Shoreside Vale, who's job is to hunt you down. You must lure each of these death squads into a trap that Asuka has laid in Pike Creek. Get their attention, then lure them to a lot at the top of the hill in Pike Creek where the trap has been set. Stay in your car if you get there ahead of time or the Cartel won't come. Hide in the back corner on the west side of the compound until the Yakuzas kill them off. Asuka's friends don't need your help, so you ought to let them do the work. One more thing, you have to use the trap to kill them. If you kill them yourself the mission will be a failure. The first death squad car is waiting at the entrance to Pike Creek. To find the next death squad, drive across the top of Cochrane Dam and look near the blocked-up tunnel. The last death squad is waiting in a driveway of a house in Cedar Grove. When all three death squads have been lured to the trap and eliminated, the mission is over. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** ESPRESSO-2-GO! REWARD - $40,000 This is another good mission to use your bulletproof Patriot on. The Cartel is selling SPANK through the Espresso-2-Go stands in every district of Liberty City. You have to go to each of these street stands and crash into them. There are two in Portland, five in Staunton Island, and two in Shoreside Vale. The problem is that they don't appear on the radar until you're almost on top of them, and once you destroy the first stand, you'll have eight minutes to destroy the rest before the Cartel can warn their pushers. The best district to start destroying stands in IMO is Portland. Next you should do Staunton Island, and last Shoreside Vale. The best way to win is to scout out each stand ahead of time in this mission, so its dot will appear on the radar. The timer won't actually start until you hit the first stand, so you can have all nine on your radar when you begin your seek-and-destroy mission. I'll list the locations down here for you: PORTLAND - next to the Portland Docks in Trenton - next to the entrance to Salvatore's mansion in Saint Mark's STAUNTON - next to the car park in Newport - inside the park at Belleville Park - in front of the church at Bedford Point - a little ways down the street from the one in front of the church - near the star-shaped statue in Torrington, about a block away from Kenji's casino SHORESIDE - near the subway in front of Francis International Airport - at the hospital at the top of the hill in Pike Creek After you learn where all the stalls are, this mission is a cinch. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** S.A.M. REWARD - $45,000 There's a plane coming to Francis International Airport, and its full of SPANK. You need to get a rocket launcher and shoot the plane down while its on it's landing approach. Get a boat, and wait near the front of the runway. At the start of the mission, you'll have three and a half minutes to get into position and shoot down the plane. Follow the dot to a boat parked near a dock where there's a free rocket launcher. Steer the boat to the runway as Asuka directed you. I say you get up on land. The up-and-down motion of the boat will throw off your aim. When you see the plane approaching, let loose a barrage of missiles at it. If you manage to hit it, it will dump its cargo and you'll have a four-star wanted level. Helicopters will come and attack you. Whatever you do, DON'T shoot back at them. If you blow up a helicopter, your wanted level will go up and it will be a lot harder to get away later. Chances are, the plane's cargo landed on the runway. Kill off the Colombians you can see from the lower level of the runway, and take their truck. Drive it over to where the SPANK is and gather up all of it. Now, you could try to go back into the boat, but it's a bad idea. There's a good chance the helicopter will blow it up while you're en route to Staunton. Instead, go by land. Drive out in the front of the airport. Now, you have a couple of options. You can try to drive in a car back to the construction site, but IMO that's a bad idea too. (BTW, there is also the choice of flying the Dodo back to the construction site. Only do this if you know how to fly it though. If you do know how to use the Dodo though, this mission will be cake. Nobody will be able to get you because you are so high up in the air. You can just make a crash landing in the construction yard and easily get to the finish. I have actually done this before BTW. Read the Flying the Dodo Mini-FAQ in Section ) Instead, go into the subway, which is close by here. Some stray officers might wander down in there, but other than that you won't face any opposition. Drive your car down into the subway and head for Staunton Island in it. When you leave the subway, you'll be right next to the construction site. If you're not, drive though the tunnel until you are. Drive back to the lift at the partial skyscraper. The next mission will start up as soon as you arrive at Asuka's meeting place again. ####################################################################### I found a great way to get through the SAM mission. After you get the boat, head towards the airport buoys. Drive the boat onto ground by the runway. It is just past the buoys. Jump out and get closer to the Cartel guys. With the sniper rifle take the two or three guys out. Next, run a good distance down the runway, the airplane will soon be on you. It's easy to shoot it as it is coming towards you close to, or on the ground with the rocket launcher. The packages will be on the runway. Pick them up. The police chopper will show up. Shoot it down with the launcher. Next, run to one of the Cartel trucks. It's guarded but your sniper rifle will take care of that. Steal the truck and drive to the Pay & Spray by the Hospital. It's a short run, but everyone will be after you. Once inside you will loose your wanted status. Take an easy ride back. Submitted by: Matt Morris ####################################################################### ####################################################################### First of all, I always try to cruise around in a Cheetah, Banshee, Infernus, Stinger, etc. that's no big secret, everybody does. But I needed it especially for this mission. Be sure to buy the Rocket Launcher because by this way you won't get it where you shoot down the plane. After Asuka gives the indications just hop on the fast car you should have and go directly to Francis Intl. Airport via Porter Tunnel or the Bridge. When you get to Francis, drive directly all through the track in which the plane is about to land, this is where you need the fast car, because the colombians will start shooting with their M-16's and its most likely that they'll blow up a slow car. Besides, you also need the fast car to get in time to Francis Airport. Anyway, when your at the end of the runway, get down and face directly in the direction in which you can see the approaching plane. Shoot down the plane and the colombians will already be gone, collect the spank. After you've gathered the pieces, hop on your car, then go and take the nearest Dodo, and if you know how to fly it by this time of the game than you can take it directly to the construction site ando go crash yourself there. The Dodo won't blow up unless it's facing upside down but you should already be running towards the elevator. Finally, enter the blue circle. I strongly believe this is a whole lot easier way of beating this mission, because you never have to worry about any colombians and the police will not be able to even catch you airborne, the chopper never attacks the Dodo.

You are to bring $500,000 to the Cartel Mansion in Cedar Grove, Shoreside, in exchange for Maria's life. Do whatever it takes to get that money if you don't already have it. Beat up people, play the emergency vehicle missions, etc. When you're ready, go to the Cartel Mansion in Shoreside Vale. Catalina's first and only mission will start up immediately when you come to her mansion. *********************************************************************** ___ __ ___ __ __ | |__| | |__| | | |\ | |__| |__ | | | | | |__ | | \| | | CATALINA MISSION *********************************************************************** THE EXCHANGE REWARD - one meeelllleeeooon dollars The guards out front will strip you of all your weapons. Catalina will take the money. After Catalina double crosses you again and orders her men to kill you, take the gun from the man you punched in the cutscene and run for the garage to your right. Inside there is body armor, and a Cartel Cruiser that you can use to make the front gates open. If the gate guards are still there, run them over. Yes I know you can run straight for the gate, but this way you will have full body armor and you'll be able to escape with little damage. You have seven minutes to find and eliminate Catalina. I'll assume the worst, you have no tank and you didn't collect any packages for any free weapons at your hideout. When you manage to escape the grounds, you'll see a white helicopter fly past with Catalina and Maria inside. Follow the helicopter over the bridge, then drive to the top of the hill and cross over the Cochrane Dam. Go down the hill, towards the lower part of the dam, where the Cartel has barricaded the entrance. Use the car shield trick to kill them, then take their AK-47's. Take one of their Cartel Cruisers and drive down the road, but stop short of the next barricade. There is a sniper rifle hidden on the right side of the road. Take it, because you will need it. The auto-aimed AK-47 has a range that is a little farther than that of an inactive enemy's vision, so use it to kill the guards at the next barricade. Hit R1 to autoaim and kill the first guard, then when he dies, tap R1 to shoot at the next guy. Remember in Bomb Da Base, when there were explosive containers? There are more here. Shoot them if you see an enemy nearby them. Use the Sniper rifle only to remove the guards high up on top of things like the towers or the containers. When you are about halfway along, you'll get a cutscene of the helicopter lifting off from the dam. The helicopter from now on will fly over the dam every so often and launch a barrage of missiles at the dam. You, however, can avoid the blast on the first pass as long as you are on the far end of the road away from the face of the dam. Also when this cutscene occurs, a Barracks OL will come after you, but this problem is easily solved by hiding behind a container away from the face of the dam. The chopper will blow up the truck for you. Watch out for the final push to get up the stairs at the end of the road. There are lots of guys here, and even one packing a flame-thrower. When you do get on the stairs, stop just before you get to the top, but can still shoot at the guys. From here you can shoot at a few guards, but they can't shoot back. Be careful you don't accidentally hit Maria. There is one last guy to take care of after you eliminate the ones around Maria. Kill him, then take the Rocket Launcher nearby. You must use it to blow up the helicopter. When the helicopter makes another pass, shoot it down. Hope you have good aim; its only got three shots. After you kill the helicopter, go check on Maria, and the last major story mission in the game will end. You'll get to view the ending sequence now. Congratulations, you have completed story mode! But, unless you have been doing all the minimissions along the way, this game is far from finished. It's time for you to finish up everything you passed by first. I hope you did everything in Portland when I told you to do it before you made the gangs there angry... If you DO have the sniper rifle or rocket launcher at your hideout, then this mission will be a cakewalk. You can either snipe all of the guards at a distance, or blow them all to kingdom come. If you've got the tank it's also easy, just blow up or smush everything that gets in your way. You can also do this with one of your BP vehicles, preferably the BP Cheetah as you can get those at almost any time. See the Bulletproof Vehicles section to see what I'm talking about. IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: If you have entered one of the codes that make the pedestrians go crazy and have saved you game with it on, then this mission will be impossible to finish. Maria and the guards will keep killing each other once you see the cutscene of the helicopter lifting off from the dam. Those codes are permanent, and cannot be undone. The only way out is to restart your game. There used to be a method from a reader here of shooting the helicopter at a distance before the cutscene, but after numerous complaints that it doesn't work, I've taken it down. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ | \ __ | | |__ |__/ | |__ |__ This guy is my favorite boss. D-ICE MISSION *********************************************************************** UZI MONEY REWARD - $10,000 You must drive-by 20 Nines in 2 and a half minutes in this mission. They look like the Red Jacks, only they are wearing purple shirts instead of red ones. On the boards at www.gamefaqs.com, somebody recommended to use a tank. The mission should be very easy then. MLong001 confirmed that turrent kills DO count in this mission. As you have an Uzi with infinite ammo, spray the sidewalks liberally with bullets. Drive slowly so you can shoot more accurately. Only drive-by kills count, so don't try to cheat by taking them down on foot. IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: This is the mission I warned you about above. Sometimes this mission gets bugged up, and the Niners won't be walking around on the streets. So, you won't be able to kill them and finish the mission, you won't be able to do the rest of D-Ice's missions, and you won't be able to get 100% completion! If you're infected with the bug, then pretty much the only thing you can do is start over. I would be most appreciative if somebody would send me another way to correct this bug! I'm kind of getting desperate looking for solutions, so please send them to me. This is the only exception to the ban on submitting walkhthroughs to my guide. If these don't work, then notify me and I will remove them. These are only for PREVENTING you from getting the bug. If you already have it, then you'll have to start over. You are only allowed to defeat D-Ice's missions once per set of game files. After beating RUMBLE the first time, on your next games the Red Jacks will never show up. Making extra save files won't work if you already beat UZI MONEY once on a set of files. You'll have to delete that GTA3 cube on the memory card screen when starting up your PS2, and totally begin again from scratch. RMCB says that "You dont need to wipe your GTA3 files, it happens randomly," but I still think that cleaning your memory card of that GTA3 Cube increases your chances. Also, DontEmailMe says to try to "copy your save file to another memory card before the mission." Becca Hallmark further reports cheats have no effect on the Purple Nines bug. ####################################################################### I know you've probably been bombarded (to put it lightly) about the topic, but I figured I'd give it a shot and send in the little information I know. The bug seems to only occur once D-Ice's missions are complete. Once the Rumble happens, the Purple Nines just stop appearing. If you save the game, and then start a new one, the Purple Nines just won't appear because the bug seems to revolve around how the game is saved and loaded. What I did was just start the game without a memory card in it, let it load a fresh, new game, and save that game onto the same card. From what I've seen, this works. I've even tried loading from the original save with D-Ice missions complete, saving that, then re-loading the new game and still having the Purple Nines appear. I even checked it out from the start of the game by grabbing a car and using the Flying cheat to get to Shoreside Vale and checking out the Witchita Gardens area. The place had plenty of Purple Nines roaming around where the new game started from the original save had none around.

You have five RC cars (counting the one you start in), and there are three trucks, so you can afford two accidental blow-ups. This mission is pretty easy, so I don't really need to discuss strategy. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RIGGED TO BLOW REWARD - $20,000 In this mission, D-Ice's Infernus has been rigged with a bomb, and he needs you to take it to a garage in Saint Mark's to have it defused. First, follow the dot to the car, then take it and CAREFULLY drive it to Portland. You need to be delicate with this car, cause all it takes is one or two decent crashes to blow it up. Don't worry about when you get into Saint Mark's, because the Mafia won't shoot at you in this mission. After the car has been taken care of at the garage, drive it back to Wichita Gardens in Shoreside. If the car was damaged during the transport, it will have to be repaired. This mission repeats over and over at D-Ice's phone even after you've beaten it. This is only so you can get a better time for this mission on your status screen in the pause menu. Don't worry, you only have to beat this mission once and never again. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** BULLION RUN REWARD - $25,000 There was a plane transporting platinum, and it crashed. You need to gather up 30 pieces of platinum spread out over Pike Creek, and take it to the garage D-Ice has. The platinum will weigh down your car and make it slower, so remember to drop it off on regular trips. Be sure to get a heavy vehicle like a van, because they won't lose as much speed as a light and speedy car, like say the Infernus. Don't take too much at the same time or the police will try to stop you too. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RUMBLE REWARD - $10,000 The Nines have challenged the Red Jacks to a fight. D-Ice tells you to go pick up his brother and he'll tell you where to go. He says to head for the park near Wichita Gardens. He also says that you can only use baseball bats, no guns and no cars. The easiest way to kill off the mob of Nines is to get them bunched up, and swing your bat like mad. A swing will take out multiple guys, and then you can smack several of them on the ground at the same time. You're now done with D-Ice. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ | | |__ |__ |__| | | |__| | \ |__| | | | \ |__| | | |__/ OFFROAD MISSION *********************************************************************** GRIPPED! REWARD - $40,000 To begin this mission, take the Patriot in the park near Whichita Gardens. You have 5 minutes to collect 20 checkpoints in any order. For every passed checkpoint, you'll get 15 seconds. To begin, take checkpoint 1 from the hill on the left side of the dirt road. Next, grab checkpoint 2 on the hill on the other side. Don't drive directly to it, go around the steep ledge on the left. Now, you have to grab the ones on the mountainside. A suitable spot to begin climbing is right behind checkpoint 2 that you grabbed. Grab checkpoint 3 to the left, then climb up to the set of checkpoints 4 and 5 to gain extra time. When you get those, climb over the top of the cliff, then drive carefully left to checkpoint 6. Now, carefully drive along the top of the cliff to checkpoint 7 on the far right side. You have now gathered up all the checkpoints on the clifface here. Now, drive onto the street here in Cedar Grove; you should be near a spot where there's no railing. Go up the street a little, and take checkpoint 8 precariously positioned next to the edge of the cliff. Continue up the hill, and when you get near the uncompleted tunnel, go offroad on the right. You should be able to easily reach checkpoint 9 in this area. Go up a long ways and checkpoint 10 will also be easily reached. You're halfway there. Go left to get easy, easy checkpoint 11. Now, go left and drive along the cliff behind the mansions in Cedar Grove. Get checkpoint 12, then go down towards the city to get checkpoint 13. Don't let the view distract you, or you'll fall off. Stay near the edge to find checkpoint 14. Checkpoint 15 is thankfully further away from the cliff, but its a bit slow-going to get up to it. Carefully move down the mountain, and don't go too fast or you'll lose control. Snag checkpoint 16, again near the deadly edge of the cliff. Checkpoint 17 is WAY up, but your Patriot it capable of making it. After you do that, carefully go down again. Checkpoint 18 is positioned near the cliff again, but this time be careful because its on a downhill slope. The last two checkpoints are cinches. Drive back away from the cliff. You should be able to reach checkpoint 19 easily, as its in a relatively smooth area, well, compared to what we've been through! Lastly, grab checkpoint 20 over the tunnel entrance here to finish the level. *********************************************************************** ___ __ __ .| | | \_/ / .| |__| | /_ TOYZ MISSION *********************************************************************** RUMPO WRECKER REWARD - $1,000 per gang car destroyed The TOYZ van is behind some billboards behind the apartment building that's your hideout. You have 2 minutes to blow up as many Hoods Rumpo XL vans as possible. The best place to go hunting for them is the four-lane road coming down from the s-curves on the hill. *********************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7: Import/Export Garage/Emergency Vehicle Crane ************************************* 7A - IMPORT/EXPORT GARAGE IN PORTLAND ************************************* This garage is located at the Portland Docks in Trenton, on the side of the harbor that has the new freighter, not the broken-down one you have to destroy in the "Bomb Da Base" mission. The people in this garage are interested in these models of cars, written on a sign next to their door: Securicar Moonbeam Coach Flatbed Linerunner Trashmaster Patriot Mr. Whoopee Blista Mule Yankee Bobcat Dodo Bus Rumpo Pony Bring one of each to their garage. You'll be paid $1,500 for each car. For delivering all of them, you'll get $200,000, and icons representing the cars you delivered inside the garage. Pick up an icon and you'll get to drive out with the car it represents an infinite amount of times. You must deliver EVERY car before the icons will appear. You won't get any icons for delivering one car, half the cars, or even one car short of completion. You need ALL of the cars. Before I provide hints, I must give a few tips about finding cars around the city. The car you are driving tends to cause cars on the road to appear that are similar to it. Sports cars tend to spawn other sports cars, large trucks tend to spawn other large trucks, etc. Also, the car park in Newport in Staunton Island also goes by this rule. Whatever you drive in there with will cause similar cars to be parked around. The cars that are always tend to be in the garage though are Taxis, Blistas, Stallions, Esperantons, and Rumpos. Also, try doing the Firefighter or Vigilante Emergency Vehicle missions. You could end up pursuing rare vehicles like Trashmasters, Mr. Whoopees, or Stretches. I'll provide actual locations where the cars are parked, and then hints below on the best places to look for these cars on the street. The cars are listed in alphabetical order. BLISTA ====== PARKED - Staunton Island/Newport/the parking lot outside Asuka's condo. - Staunton Island/Newport/in a garage in the alley behind the car park. - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/airport parking lot. - Shoreside Vale/Wichita Gardens/in parking lot behind hideout. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in Stauton Island or Shoreside Vale, more common in Shoreside Vale. BOBCAT ====== PARKED - Portland/Portland Beach/on the beach below Salvatore's mansion. - Portland/Saint Marks/AMCO Gas Station. - Portland/Saint Marks/Marco's Bistro. - Portland/Saint Marks/Easy Credit Autos. - Staunton Island/Aspatria/stadium parking lot. - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. - Staunton Island/Rockford/hospital. - Shoreside Vale/Wichita Gardens/oceanside park. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland. BUS === PARKED - nowhere ON THE ROAD - anywhere in Portland Stauton Island, more common in Staunton Island. It's a bit difficult getting one to appear. They seem to show up around the stadium very early in the morning or around noon. COACH ===== PARKED - Portland/Trenton/Trenton Bus Station ON THE ROAD - anywhere in Portland Stauton Island, more common in Staunton Island. DODO ==== PARKED - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/in the customs hangar (after the mission GRAND THEFT AERO) - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/near the helipad - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/in a hangar near the runway the 747's take off on ON THE ROAD - nowhere FLATBED ======= PARKED - nowhere ON THE ROAD - anywhere in Portland or Staunton Island, more common in Staunton Island. Most appear around the stadium at Aspatria in Staunton Island in the early morning. LINERUNNER ========== PARKED - Portland/Callahan Point/Greasy Joe's Cafe parking lot - Portland/Portland Docks/to the south of the entrance, near some trailers ON THE ROAD - anywhere in Portland Stauton Island, more common in Staunton Island. Most appear around the stadium at Aspatria in the afternoon. MOONBEAM ======== PARKED - Portland/Callahan Point/Greasy Joe's Cafe parking lot. - Portland/Hepburn Heights/In front of the Head Radio Building. - Portland/Saint Marks/In a small parking lot south of Easy Credit Autos. - Staunton Island/Bedford Point/parking lot from the mission KINGDOM COME. - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland. MR. WHOOPEE =========== PARKED - nowhere ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Shoreside Vale - An easier way to get one is to play the I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM mission by El Burro, and instead of detonating Mr. Whoopee, simply shoot the guys who come out to the ice cream truck. I've spotted Mr. Whoopee on occasion in Porter Tunnel in Shoreside Vale, near the Wichita Gardens entrance. Try hunting around down there. ####################################################################### Look on Shoreside Vale, In Cedar Creek, by the Cartel Mansion at 13:30 to 15:00 for Mr. Whoopie. I think he really shows up about 2:05, but I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to such a ***** of a vehicle to find. Submitted by: Ira ####################################################################### MULE ==== PARKED - Portland/Portland Docks/parking lot. - Portland/Portland Docks/underneath a warehouse's awning. - Staunton Island/Aspatria/stadium parking lot. - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland PATRIOT ======= PARKED - Portland/Trenton/Supa Save (cancel PATRIOT PLAYGROUND mission). - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. - Shoreside Vale/Wichita Gardens/oceanside park (cancel GRIPPED! mission). ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland PONY ==== PARKED - Portland/Chinatown/In an alley near the basketball court. - Portland/Trenton/AMCO Building. - Portland/Trenton/Behind Supa Save. - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland. RUMPO ===== PARKED - Portland/Saint Marks/8-Ball's Bomb Shop. - Portland/Trenton/Liberty Saw Mill. - Staunton Island/Bedford Point/underground car park. - Staunton Island/Newport/inside the car park. - Staunton Island/Rockford/hospital. - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/central area, where the large spider-like building is. - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/behind a building near the runway. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland. A little off topic, but there is a special black Rumpo you can collect during the game. In the mission UNDER SURVEILLANCE by Asuka, where you have to eliminate the Mafia spies, you'll find a few of your targets in a black Rumpo. This is the only black Rumpo in the game. The only special thing about it is it's color. SECURICAR ========= PARKED - nowhere ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, but its difficult getting one to appear. Try saving the one you get to keep after the DECOY mission, blowing up the van from the VAN HEIST mission in your garage, or looking for one during the ESCORT SERVICE mission. Or you could drive around the stadium. Also, try NOT looking for it. This may seem strange, but it seems like if you are not searching for Securicars, more will appear! ####################################################################### In your FAQ it says to get a Securicar to drive around the stadium, for some people this works, and for other is doesn't. I spent weeks driving around the stadium and never found one, it was the last car I needed for the import garage, and was really pissing me off. I found another more reliable source for Securicars. Go to the front of Love's place (Staunton isle) at approx. 9:20 every morning one will drive by on the opposite side of the street. For me at least it is always there. Submitted by: BJ Shaprio ####################################################################### TRASHMASTER =========== PARKED - nowhere ON THE ROAD - anywhere in Portland or Stauton Island, early in the morning or early evening. One particular hotspot for them is the Callahan Bridge at the above time. YANKEE ====== PARKED - Portland/Portland Docks/near the shipping containers where the new freighter is. - Portland/Portland Docks/near the shipping containers where the old freighter is/used to be. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city, most common in Portland. **************************************** 7B - EMERGENCY VEHICLE CRANE IN PORTLAND **************************************** This crane is located next to the new freighter, not the old Cartel one. Park your emergency vehicle in the area marked with yellow caution stripes and the crane will lift the vehicle on the ship. There is no list of vehicles, so I'll say which ones you need: Police car Enforcer FBI Car Barracks OL Rhino Ambulance Fire Truck You'll get $1,500 per vehicle delivered, and $200,000 after all are delivered, plus an icon representing each vehicle you've delivered for endless amounts of these cars. You must deliver EVERY car before the icons will appear. You won't get any icons for delivering one car, half the cars, or even one car short of completion. You need ALL of the cars. Before I dispense my advice, I'll give you BBoyLofty's hint on collecting Emergency vehicles easily: ####################################################################### I just thought I'd give a helpful hint on completing the EV Crane "Quest". The easiest way I've found on getting a FBI Car or any other difficult emergency car is to lure them to the crane, by doing so after they ram you they will get out of their car and attempt to pull you out. Now if positioned correctly, when they ram into you and get out, their car will be under the crane. Once they approach your vehicle floor the gas and get away because since they are out of the vehicle the magnet will pull the EV away. I have tried seeing if the crane would pull an EV with people in it, but it only works with an empty EV. I have tested this numerous times with all the EVs and it works like a charm. Submitted by: BBoyLofty ####################################################################### These are the best places to find these vehicles: POLICE CAR ========== PARKED - Portland/Portland View/police station - Staunton Island/Bedford Point/police station - Shoreside Vale/Pike Creek/police station - Shoreside Vale/Francis International Airport/helipad. ON THE ROAD - anywhere in the city. ENFORCER ======== PARKED Staunton Island/Beford Point/police station back parking lot. Use a police vehicle to open the automated gate. ON THE ROAD - will begin chasing you after getting a four star wanted level. FBI CAR ======= PARKED - nowhere ON THE ROAD - this is probably the hardest of all the emergency vehicles to get, as there's absolutely no other way to get one other than getting a five-star wanted level. My fav way to get one is to get a five-star wanted level in Staunton, then lure them towards the hideout where I burn the guys with the AK-47's using a Molotov Cocktail or a Flame-thrower when they jump out of the car. Be sure to take cover while they burn because they can ignore the fire for awhile. This kills the agents and keeps the car relatively unharmed. Place the FBI car in your garage, then save your game. Load your game and there will be no police after you. Another way to get the FBI Car is to lure one down into your hideout, but not too far into it. Make sure it stays on the exit ramp or something. Now, run away from the car when the agents leap out, then hide out of sight of the FBI agents, like near the save elevator. Sometimes when you run back out, the agents will vanish and you can take the car without having to fight. The last way to do it that I can think of is to get an FBI Car to again chase you into your hideout, then get all the Police Bribes if you've earned them. If you can get your wanted level down all the way, you can grab their car and only get one star. Try testing out the Best Locations to Fight the Police section near the bottom of the FAQ. Most of those locations are also good locations to snag an FBI Car. ####################################################################### Head to the multilevel parking garage in Staunton, and cause a nice ruckus in any way you like. Once the police are suitably mad (three stars?), I prefer to run up to the second (or is it first and a half?) floor where I can see through to the entrance gate, and snipe the cops as they run in. Once I've gotten five stars, I get into the fastest but also most durable thing I can find in the garage, and BACK out one of the entrances. As soon as you hear the sirens, race back in, and with any lucky you'll have one or two FBI cars following you in! Now, they'll probably batter themselves up on the pillars and other parked cars, and they sure don't take those ramps very well. ;) Eventually you'll get them out of the car, and it's then a simple matter of running them over (if your car got smashed up luring them in, grab another in case their AK's ignite the engine). Now you've got their (probably smoking) car. Hop in, drive up to the roof, and use the Insane Stunt ramp to jump off! With any luck, you'll land safely in the park across the street. Then, drive like hell down the hill towards Asuka's condo, but duck into the alley, up the ramp, and into the paintshop! This has worked for me several times. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to somehow use the 'down' ramp on the northern side of the roof to somehow get over the edge and straight into the courtyard next to the paint shop.

Off topic, but below is a way to get a special black Stretch. ####################################################################### The Mafia limo you use for 2 missions in Portland is a special "jet black" color. There are 4 colors: white, gray, black, and then there is a black like the FBI cars. If you put all 4 next to each other you would agree. Some people won't believe me about that either but I know its true because I have the Mafia limo. Since it wont fit in Portland's garage you have to go on the bridge, but it will be broken so turn the flying car code on than fly across. Then put it in the Stanton garage and blow it up. The garage will fix it.

You can still blow them up by crashing them, flipping over, or falling in water though, so watch for that. They are only bulletproof. Some of these vehicles are also explosion proof and rocketproof. **************************** 8A - THE BULLETPROOF PATRIOT **************************** This is the easiest of the bulletproof vehicles to obtain. It's also the only one you can get legally. Simply defeat the MARKED MAN mission done by Ray in Shoreside Vale. It's only bulletproof, not explosionproof or flameproof. **************************** 8B - THE BULLETPROOF CHEETAH **************************** I am most grateful to King Vinsfeld for discovering this awesome trick to get a bulletproof Cheetah, and to the guys at the www.gamefaqs.com GTA3 messageboard who invented the best way to capture one of these beauties. This is NO LIE! What you must do is play the TURISMO mission in Portland, done by El Burro on the phone in Hepburn Heights. Get a Coach, and go to the starting line, and make sure you're facing the opposite direction from the racers. When the race begins, head for your hideout, and block the street that goes by your hideout. Make sure the Coach curves towards the alley. Let the civilian cars get stacked up behind you, because it will help keep you steady in the crash you're about to have. Wait here until the timer gets to about 100. At about that time, the racing Cheetahs will approach from the Hepburn Heights area, going the wrong way down the road. Move so that one of them will collide with you, and hopefully the driver will be forced into your hideout alley. Now, you have to shove the Cheetah into your garage. Hopefully it will flip over and you won't need to worry about the driver crashing into everything. Wait until the mission ends or the car might disappear from the garage if you push it in. Rob has also discovered that excessive use of the tank cheat can contribute to the car disappearing. Don't worry about blowing up the racing Cheetah because it's indestructible, except for the tank's rammings. You might want to leave something tough like a Patriot in your garage in case your Coach blows up while you are ramming the Cheetah. The Patriot is excellent for ramming because it can get up to speed quickly and can absorb much damage. Also, don't let the Cheetah get out of your sight, or it may vanish from the area. Try the overhead cam. After you manage to ram the Cheetah into the garage, the driver will get "eaten" by the garage (can't think of a better word) and the doors will be unlocked, plus the vehicle will be repaired. It will even do this if the Cheetah is blown up or flipped. You are now the proud owner of a bulletproof Cheetah. Enjoy! :) It's also explosion proof and flameproof. ####################################################################### One thing that I just discovered that no FAQ's seem to have mentioned is that when you take an adrenaline pill you can push vehicles with your character. I discovered this when my garage ate a cop, and I backed up onto one of the police bribes in the hangout in Portland making my wanted level nil. I looked over and there was another police car, which was up against the adrenaline pill. I promptly blew up this officer and ran over to get his gun and accidentally hit the pill and pushed his car. So I then pushed it into the garage (on foot) and ended up with a police car. So I followed the suggestion to use a bus to push a car into the hangout. The BP Cheetah flipped over and I waited to the end of the race and the guy got out. With the bus I pushed the cheetah into the hangout area, got out, grabbed the adrenaline pill and pushed the cheetah into the garage, bingo one cheetah. :) The tricky part is to try and get the cheetah as close to the garage as possible, but once you get out and push on foot it is easy. It is easier to actually push the cars using adrenaline when they have already exploded, or when they are actually right side up, so after the driver has exited the car try to flip the car with the bus. Submitted by: Mike Wilson ####################################################################### ****************************** 8C - THE BULLETPROOF SECURICAR ****************************** ####################################################################### Here's the trick for a BP Securicar of your own. During the Joey's Van Heist mission you'll follow a van, which Joey actually tells you, is bullet proof. During the mission you damage the van until the driver runs and you steal it. However, don't take it to the Securicar Cracking Garage. Instead take it to your own garage. However, when the garage door closes the van is still in the mission and won't yet be in your possession. So after making sure you've parked it all the way in (I still had a corner of my tail light out but that seemed ok). Then blow it up. Preferably in a way which doesn't knock it clear of the garage. Mission over message will show. Then let garage door close. The van will be repaired and it will also be bullet proof. Submitted by: Bryan Smith, and thought up by FLiPNiNeX3 ####################################################################### *************************** 8D - THE BULLETPROOF BOBCAT *************************** Again I would like to thank all the guys at the GTA3 messageboard for coming up with this trick to get you a nearly totally indestructible Bobcat (minus getting rammed by a tank, or hitting too many walls.) This is one of the trickiest of all the bulletproof vehicles to obtain IMO. What you must do is play the mission EVIDENCE DASH by Ray. Track down the Bobcat carrying the evidence. Hit him once to get your wanted level to two, then get your car resprayed or something to get rid of your wanted level. After doing that, take the Barracks OL from the Army Surplus Store (go around behind the building by the alley if you haven't beaten ARMS SHORTAGE yet, because the gate will be locked before you beat that mission.) Now, what you must do is get to the Bobcat, and force it to roll over on its roof so it can't move. After you do that, wait for a while, and the game will say the car is a decoy, and the driver will get out. Now, flip the Bobcat over on it's roof again, and push it back to your hideout, because the doors will still be locked even after the guy gets out. Be quick about it, because the Bobcat will vanish if you take too long. After you successfully get it to your garage, you will have an almost totally indestructible Bobcat, except for the fact a tank running over it will still blow it up quick. The Bobcat is bulletproof, explosionproof, and flameproof. ******************************** 8E - THE BULLETPROOF BARRACKS OL ******************************** ####################################################################### I was going through your FAQ, particularly the bulletproof car section, and just wanted to let you know the Barracks OL in the Arms Dealer's compound is bulletproof as well. I discovered this as I tried to detonate it after blocking the gate, to kill the Colombians that were stuck behind it. I doubled checked it after sticking it in my garage in Staunton, by emptying about twenty shotgun shells at it, point-blank. I haven't checked to see if it's flame-retardant and blast-proof, however (didn't think of it until I noticed the BP Bobcat and Cheetah are such). Submitted by: John A. Volovar NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: The Barracks OL at Phil's Army Surplus Store is ONLY bulletproof during the mission ARMS SHORTAGE, so be sure to take it back to your hideout at that time. ####################################################################### ********************************* 8F - THE EVERYTHING-PROOF STRETCH ********************************* ####################################################################### This vehicle can be obtained in the "Salvatores called a meeting" mission from Toni. Once you visit Toni, head to Joey's but DON'T go into the blue field. Instead, park a vehicle near the wall on the side of the building, then enter the speed-up cheat code twice, then run between the vehicle and the wall, this will cause you to walk-through the wall. Then enter the Stretch and backup into the blue field, the vehicle will regenerate. Afterwards, drive it to your Staunton hideout by flying over the Callahan bridge (using the CAR CAN FLY code). Head to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop, rig the car with a timer bomb, then activate the car bomb in your garage and leave, don't let the door shut! After the vehicle explodes, walk out letting the door shut, so the vehicle regenerates. Submitted by: Jimmy ####################################################################### ####################################################################### I thought I'd point out to you that with the confusing directions on how to walk through the wall in order to get the everything-proof stretch, at least I had no idea how to do it. You can simply enter the blue area, drive out with Joey, fly the car over the bride, rig it, and blow it up in the garage. You fail the mission (thus killing Joey), but you still have the car. It seems like a much less confusing way to obtain it. Submitted by: Nick ####################################################################### ####################################################################### When my friend came over to play GTA 3, he needed that stretch (everything proof) so we read your part on it. After reading it we noticed what Nick said about how confusing it was and how he just did all that other stuff. We tried it. It didn't work. Ya it was in our garage but it wasn't everything proof. We ended up getting killed by testing it and it blew up in our face. Then we tried out your method after getting really mad. It worked and we were happy and parked it in our stanton garage. Just the only reason that Nick couldn't get it is because you don't back it up into the blue field. Instead, you back it up into the wall and the car will go through the wall where you will fall into a blue hole that we refered to as the "Blue Hell". Then you will end up outside after losing 5 of your health or body armor. The car you now have is all proof and this is the one you take to your garage. Submitted by: Daniel Tu ####################################################################### ####################################################################### You can walk through the wall at Joey's without using the speed up code. I usually use a big van, then park it almost flush against the wall, with just a tiny amount of space between the back bumper and the wall. Then I try to run my guy into that space and eventually he'll go through the wall. No code necessary. Submitted by: NoXcuse999 ####################################################################### NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: This vehicle is unlike the other bulletproof vehicles because it can't be destroyed by ANYTHING! Not even running into stuff will blow it up, unlike the other bulletproof vehicles. ******************************** 8G - THE BULLETPROOF TRASHMASTER ******************************** NOTE: I'm not sure about this one, as I've never been able to get one. I spent two solid hours trying to get it over the bridge with no success. I've also heard it's not even really bulletproof once you get it to your garage. If it is real, then it's the hardest of all the BP vehicles to obtain. If you really want it that much, then read below: ####################################################################### In the mission "Blow Fish" by Toni he asks you to jack a trashmaster. Get the trashmaster and take it to Staunton by the Dodo Car trick. But it in your garage and arm the bomb. DONT LET THE DOOR CLOSE!!! After it explodes, walk out and you now have a brand new BP/FP Trashmaster. It is not explosionproof or damageproof.

You'll get $5,000 for completing the first rampage, $10,000 for the second, and so on and so on until you get $1,000,000 for the last one. If you can, do these rampages before you make the gangs angry. That way you can fire freely at them and they won't shoot back. My guide assumes that you have already made the gangs angry, and that you're not using these handy tips below. ####################################################################### All you need to do is have one star in your wanted level, and have a policeman follow you when you pick up the icon. When the rampage starts the policeman will still follow you, but because he is there the gangs won't shoot at you. Leaving you to freely pop them off without any hassle. Except for a policeman that randomly punches you in the back of the head. Submitted by: Darren Ackers ####################################################################### ####################################################################### The Rhino cannon will work on ANY rampage that doesn't require a headshot (for example, the Yardie/Sniper Rifle rampage in Staunton). You don't have to use the Uzi at all, although if you are on an Uzi or Drive-By mission, those will count as normal. Furthermore, running over vehicles will count on missions where vehicles are the target (i.e. the Rocket Launcher rampage in Portland), but running over gang members won't count. It's hard to shoot people with the Rhino turret, so I recommend aiming at walls, vehicles, or poles/trees. The resulting explosions should kill any passerby gang-banners. Submitted by: Daniel Feit ####################################################################### *********************** 10A: PORTLAND RAMPAGES *********************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 1 - Destroy 13 vehicles in 120 seconds WEAPON - Rocket Launcher LOCATION 1 - Inside the building's courtyard that is across the street from the old school hall/Trenton LOCATION 2 - Inside the fence of the big building just to the east of Greasy Joe's Diner/Callahan Point BETTER LOCATION - 2 Location 2 is better because if you start blowing up cars at location 1, then vigilante citizens will come after you. It's really hard to kill them with the rocket launcher without killing yourself. You'll have to get in your car and drive-by them, wasting time. Location 2 is near a highway that has no pedestrians, so you can blow up cars without much interruption. Go west down the highway, in the opposite direction of traffic. Use a car because you move very slowly when holding a rocket launcher. Cars should come down the freeway towards you. Blow them up. When you get to Greasy Joe's Diner, there are three freebie vehicles for you to blow up there. Continue gradually moving down the highway. After destroying 12 cars, destroy the car you are driving to make it 13. ####################################################################### I highly recommend location number 1, the building across the street from the old school hall. Here are some good tips: [1] Before you start the rampage, steal some passing cars from the intersection and gather them inside the building. I've never managed to store more than 3 cars, but that'll help. [2] Start the rampage, blow up whatever cars you've stored. Try to pick off any passing traffic you see. Be very careful about hurting yourself. [3] Run inside the building, grab the police bribe if necessary, and then run up the ramp at the other side of the building. From here, you can easily shoot at passing traffic with no heroes running up and punching you. Even better, the cops can't get you either. This rampage is officially a cinch. Submitted by: Daniel Feit ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 2 - Kill 25 Triads in 120 seconds WEAPON - Uzi LOCATION 1 - Inside the building's courtyard that is across the street from the park/Chinatown LOCATION 2 - Back of Supa Save/Trenton BETTER LOCATION - 2 At location 1, when you start killing Triads, Triad Fish Vans will come after you, and that could be a pretty big problem. If you get the icon at location 2, Triads will start appearing in the area, even though it's not their usual territory. The advantage to this is that there won't be any gang cars backing them up. Get in a car and drive-by them. I think this is the best way to kill them. If you can, get hold of a bulletproof vehicle or a Rhino. Shoot one Triad, and a bunch of other Triads should run right over. While they rush over to wrench the door open, you can shoot them full of holes. Also, if you have a tank, you can use the cannon to get your score higher. You have to be doing a drive-by for it to count. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 3 - Murder 30 Diablos in 120 seconds WEAPON - M16 LOCATION 1 - The alley behind the building across the street from Sex Club 7/Red Light District LOCATION 2 - Behind the old school hall in the park/Chinatown BETTER LOCATION - 2 I favor location 2 because it is out of Diablo territory, and it has a place you can go where you are easily sheltered from attack while killing the Diablos. Even though the Diablos only have baseball bats, they'll gang up on you a lot. Once, I must have had at least 20 of them after me at the same time! You need to be careful not to get surrounded while fighting them. Run away if you get caught in a pack of them. At location 2, grab the attention of the Diablos, then run to the fenced-off area under the bridge where the seven car ramps are. The Diablos will have a real hard time trying to get around the low fence. While they are all confused, you can stand out of reach of their bats and shoot them with your M16 through the fence. You can do this at the basketball court too, but it's harder to keep the Diablos from getting inside with you. If you want to do it this way, run over the ramp in the basketball court and jumping down outside the court. The Diablos will have a hard time following you over the ramp and will get stuck behind the chain-link fence. ####################################################################### I also prefer the area near the basketball courts, but I did this Rampage from a slightly different spot than you. I did this both with and without the car, but to save space I'll just tell you the car method. (Same place, just without the car and a little bit more challenge.) n the Old School Hall parking lot there are usually a couple of "PimpMobiles" as I call them (Idaho, Esperanto, etc.). Swipe one and drive over to the Rampage icon. Grab it and get back into the car. Aim yourselfso you're heading between the basketball courts and the infamous 7 lifts area. There is a small grassy hill here. Park on top of it. Get out of the car and jump on top of the car. Aim for the nearest Diablo you see. When the chaos starts, just take them out as fast as you can and shoot the closest ones first. They won't shoot at you until they are right up against the car and they can't swing at you while you're standing up there. They are pretty much baffled by the fact that you're not on the ground and aren't too much of a threat to you. I guess Spank does that to a person. ;) If you run out of targets just turn towards either the lifts or the b-ball court for a couple seconds. When you turn back around there will be targets. Doing this, even the most hand-eye coordination challenged person can do this Rampage and still come out squeaky clean. ;) Submitted by: Yamama ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 4 - Kill 20 Mafia in 120 seconds WEAPON - AK-47 LOCATION 1 - In a small parking lot to the east of Momma's Restaurant, on the same block/Saint Mark's LOCATION 2 - In the long alley a block south of Momma's Restaurant, first lot on the left if going uphill/Saint Mark's (thanks to SweetPimp324) BETTER LOCATION - 1 I don't really like Location 2 because it has little cover to hide from the Mafia's deadly shotguns. The alley's is a good place to hide from the shotgun guys, but it wastes a lot of time. At location 1, run out into the four lane street, because more Mafia guys spawn there. Shoot some, and a lot more will come to you. Kill as many as you can, but when you hear a shotgun go off, RUN AWAY! You cannot stand up to someone with a shotgun when all you have is an AK-47. Go through the parking lot then return to the four lane street and the shotgun guys might disappear. You can now kill more of them. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 5 - Kill 20 Triads in 120 seconds WEAPON - Shotgun LOCATION 1 - In an alley between Liberty Pharmaceticals and Mean Street Taxis/Trenton LOCATION 2 - On a ledge behind the hospital/Portland View BETTER LOCATION - 1 This rampage is pretty easy at both locations, but it's a bit easier at Location 1 because you are near a health powerup and the spawn points are closer. Just let the Triads come to you and blow them away with the shotgun. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 6 - Destroy 10 vehicles in 120 seconds WEAPON - Grenades LOCATION 1 - On top of the el train tracks near the hospital/Saint Mark's LOCATION 2 - On top of the el train tracks near Joey's garage/Trenton BETTER LOCATION - 1 Location 1 is better because there are lots of freebie cars to blow up in parking lots nearby. Watch out for vigilante citizens who will try to stop you. Also, be sure to randomly throw grenades at passing cars. You never know when one will connect. Jump down from the el train tracks and head for the hospital. There's two cars at Marco's Bistro up the road, but they're out of the way. Blow up the ambulance there. Next, jump the wall and go into the police parking lot. Blow up the two police cars here. This will grab the attention of the cops, but that's a GOOD thing. When the police cars pull up near you, you can blow them up for easy points. Continue down the street. On the right side of the street a Perennial is parked. Blow it up too. Continue going down the road and you should arrive at the old school hall in Chinatown. Blow up the two cars in the parking lot there. If you still haven't met your quota, then just blow up every car you see. Another way to do it is to block the street with a big vehicle, like a Coach, and then throw grenades at the traffic jams. You could also gather some vehicles in one place before starting the rampage for easy points to your tally. ####################################################################### Two things to add: 1. You can park a Coach diagonally across the intersection in front of the hospital to block traffic. It will trap cars while you're on the way to the Hospital from the tracks. 2. You can drive any narrow width car up the stairs to the EL tracks (nearest Marco's Bistro) and use that you drive to the Rampage icons. While this isn't particularly useful in itself (with the exception of getting you to the icons without having to plod that distance on foot) it does have a couple of benefits after the rampage starts. First of all, it allows you to drive to the Hospital area quickly. You will have less of a chance of running out of time if you start blowing things up sooner. Secondly, it gives you an additional car to blow up when you get there. There's a possibility that using a car to get onto the tracks will make the Coach disappear. You might have to choose which to use. I've found that if you run from a car after getting out of it that the door will stay open. Abandoned cars with open doors tend to linger for a much longer time than cars with closed doors.

They seem to spawn much more rapidly at location 2, and that's why I think it's easier. Also, you have much more room to work with. You'll need the extra space, because the Molotov Coctail is a dangerous weapon to use. A couple of throws gone wrong could be highly lethal. After collecting the icon at Location 2, go to the intersection where the road leading to Asuka's condo is. A lot of Yakuza tend to appear on the road to Asuka's place, so you can nail a lot. The Yakuza won't fight back, so it's okay if you miss them. Be careful not to accidentally bounce your Molotov Cocktails off of walls or signs. You'll get burned to death if you do. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 8 - Explode 25 Yardies in 120 seconds WEAPON - Grenades LOCATION 1 - In the alley behind the fire station/Belleville Park LOCATION 2 - In the alley a little to the east of the Cartel compound/Liberty Campus BETTER LOCATION - 2 The oddly shaped alley at Location 2 has a lot of room to move about, which is handy with grenades. The best strategy here is to toss grenades from the alley into the street at the Yardies. If they come after you into the alley, you can see them coming from a mile away. This will allow you to throw the grenade into position. If they manage to get into the alley, try running away while tossng grenades. Throw a grenade ahead of you a short distance, then run past it. Jump over and over to speed away from the grenade. The Yardies will run into the grenade you if executed correctly. ####################################################################### This works best if the Yardies already hate your guts because they will be attracted to you like magnets. Do the location at the fire station in Aspatria. When starting the rampage, go to the parking lot across the street (this is the parking lot where I think the Infernus for the Grand Theft Auto mission for Kenji was located). Using your strategy to kill the Yardies that wander in the alley can also kill the Yardies that hop over the shrubs. The good thing about this is that the Yard's usually line up around the fence and one grenade can wipe out 6 Yards! Just watch out for the donut-eating pigs and the Yard's guns. Bring full armor and 125 health as always and you will be able to blow the Yardies away! Submitted by: 007BartSimpson ####################################################################### ####################################################################### Grab it at location 1, then head straight up the steps in front of the stadium. Stand about halfway up chuck them straight towards the street. The yardies respawn right in that area and you can take them out 5 to 6 at a time, taking about 30 seconds total. Submitted by: Brad Forbes ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 9 - Pop 17 Yardie heads in 120 seconds WEAPON - Sniper Rifle LOCATION 1 - On the roof of the AMCO Building/Torrington LOCATION 2 - On one of the catwalks at Kenji's Casino/Torrington BETTER LOCATION - 2 Location 2 is closer to street level, so you can get better shots at Yardie heads. Plus, because you are closer to the street, Yardies will spawn more quickly. After collecting the icon, leap over the railing in front of you and get down to street level. Stand between the casino buildings and far away enough from the street so the Yardies won't see you. Only head shots count, so forget about body shots completely. From here, their heads will be arranged in a nice straight line. They'll all be patrolling the sidewalks. All you'll have to do pretty much is sweep the gun left and right to hit their heads. If you kill all the Yardies visible at the moment, look away from the street for a moment to allow them to respawn. ####################################################################### I highly recommend location #1, at the AMCO building. As soon as you get the icon, jump off the edge, you should land in the ground floor walkway. From here the rampage is a cakewalk, because you can kill the Yardies, and they won't fight back! Submitted by: Mlong001 ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 10 - Burn 25 Yakuza in 120 seconds WEAPON - Flame-thrower LOCATION 1 - in a parking lot in the block across the street from Love's apartment building/Bedford Point LOCATION 2 - behind the church/Bedford Point BETTER LOCATION - 1 This rampage is really easy, because the Yakuza are always friendly towards you. Location 1 is a little better because it's in Yakuza territory, so there will be more Yakuza around. You can pretty much beat this rampage by just running around the streets at random and burning any Yakuza you see. They won't even shoot back at you as long as you don't drive-by them. The biggest danger is keeping the Yakuza from touching you while they are on fire. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 11 - Annihilate 30 Yardies in 120 seconds WEAPON - Rocket Launcher LOCATION 1 - in the graveyard behind the church/Bedford Point LOCATION 2 - behind a planter at the projects, on the block across the street from Love's apartment building/Bedford Point BETTER LOCATION - 1 This rampage is pretty tricky, because while the rocket launcher is excellent at major property damage, it also hurts you pretty bad too. The Yardies have an annoying habit of getting in your face so you can't shoot them without blowing yourself up. And thanks to the launcher's heavy weight, you can't run fast enough to get away from them to make a shot. I think the best way to beat this level is to fortify yourself in the glass room in the building across the street from the AMCO Building in Torrington. Be sure you have a fast car at hand so you can zip over there at the start of the rampage. Location 1 is better because it's easier to get to that room from there. The Yardies will have a hard time getting up the stairs to get you, and you'll be able to shoot them from far away enough without getting hurt. Snipe them with the rocket launcher from the upper floor, facing the street going east past the AMCO building. The Yardies rapidly spawn on that street, allowing you to kill many of them. You can also shoot at the street below to kill Yardies hiding beneath you. Shoot the middle of the road and not the sidewalk so you won't get hurt from the blast. You can try this at the Tw@ Internet Cafe too, but that room is too small and crowded to effectively kill Yardies without killing yourself. You could also fortify yourself on the staircase in front of the building at Location 2, with its railings and all, but you're too close to the street to shoot Yardies without hurting yourself. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 12 - Destroy 8 vehicles in 120 seconds WEAPON - Shotgun LOCATION 1 - in the southwest corner of the park/Belleville Park LOCATION 2 - in the northeast corner of the park/Belleville Park BETTER LOCATION - 1 This rampage is really easy. All you have to do is jack several cars before the rampage, block the street, activate the rampage, then blast the parked cars. The chain reaction will detonate all the other cars that got stopped by your barricade. Location 1 is better because it's nearer to the street, and more cars drive down the road near it. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 13 - Destroy 15 vehicles in 120 seconds WEAPON - M16 LOCATION 1 - behind the southernmost building on the college grounds/Liberty Campus LOCATION 2 - in the northeastern corner of the construciton area with the green unfinished skyscraper/Fort Staunton (thanks to SweetPimp 324) BETTER LOCATION - 1 I think this rampage is kind of easy too. Gather up several vehicles, block the roadway, blast the parked cars, and the chain reaction caused by the parked cars will destroy the vehicles that got stacked up behind them. Vigilante pedestrians will attack, but they're easily taken down with the M16. If you still can't get enough cars, try going to the stadium parking lot. You'll find several freebie vehicles here. Location 1 is easier because it is nearer the parking lot. *********************************************************************** ***************************** 10C: SHORESIDE VALE RAMPAGES ***************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 14 - Remove 15 Colombian heads in 120 seconds WEAPON - Sniper Rifle LOCATION 1 - in the lot just west of the police station where the Yakuza trap was in the mission BAIT/Pike Creek LOCATION 2 - on top of the storage garages behind the police station/Pike Creek BETTER LOCATION - 1 Location 1 is far better than Location 2. You can safely get closer to the Cartel to snipe their heads, and they have a harder time spotting you there. Collect the rampage icon, then run on top of the ramp nearby. Stand close to the edge, but not right on the edge. This way you'll have clear shots at the Cartel's heads, and you won't get spotted and shot to death by them. The Cartel are relatively close, so you can get good head shots. Only head shots count, so forget body shots completely. When you've killed all the ones you can see, look away then look back so more Cartel will spawn in. ####################################################################### While racking my brain trying to snipe the Colombians I found that if the icon is by the police station jump down just to the left in that little area. Run to the wall most can't see you and they are all pretty close. Submitted by: Cody Knutson ####################################################################### *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 15 - Splatter 20 Hoods in 120 seconds WEAPON - Shotgun LOCATION 1 - on top of a garage (jump from bridge above to get to it)/Wichita Gardens LOCATION 2 - behind the blue "SUMO" sign at the Porter Tunnel entrance/Francis International Airport BETTER LOCATION - 1 This one's kind of easy, as long as you don't let yourself get surrounded by enemies. Location 1 is better because it's near a health powerup, next to where the bridge ends by the lake. Basically just auto-aim and blast every Hood that gets in your way. Auto-aim helps you to eliminate enemies faster, reducing chances of getting ganged-up on. Preferrably attack Hoods that are alone so all of them won't surround you and fill you up with lead. Cody Knutson says it's "easy if you don't move after getting the icon," but I still like duking it out better. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 16 - Fry 20 Colombians in 120 seconds WEAPON - Flame-thrower LOCATION 1 - behind the garage of the mansion that has a Landstalker/Cedar Grove LOCATION 2 - near the Import/Export Garage/Cochrane Dam BETTER LOCATION - 1 This rampage seems nigh impossible at first. The Flame-thrower has excellent stopping power, but it takes a couple seconds before the Cartel will stop shooting and burn to death, meaning they can get in some free shots before they die. You'll also be vulnerable while using the flame-thrower, because you have to stand still to use it. So if you're lucky, you'll kill maybe several of them before you die. I however have figured out a safe way to kill them off without causing harm to yourself. After grabbing the icon at Location 1, run to the hedge wall at the back end of the backyard. Switch to overhead view. You can now safely flame all the Cartel from behind the hedge, without getting shot at. They have no way to get to you at all. Stay on the move after you flame all Cartel in the area, so more will spawn. Also, try not to let the Cartel escape your effective range. It can be a bit hard to get enough to appear to win, but it's definitely safer and easier than taking them on in the open. I've tried several locations around Location 2 using this same strategy, but this hedge here is the most effective location I think. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 17 - Driveby and destroy 7 vehicles in 120 seconds WEAPON - Uzi LOCATION 1 - at the entrance gate of the Punk Noodles building/Pike Creek LOCATION 2 - behind a boulder at the bottom of the dam, where the road runs in a loop/Cochrane Dam BETTER LOCATION - 1 This rampage is super easy if you know what to do. Just drive to the parking lot at Francis International Airport. Here you will find several cars just waiting to be blown up. Park next to each one, fill it up with lead, then move on to the next car when it catches fire. You should destroy enough cars well before the time limit expires. Location 1 is better because it is much closer to this parking lot. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 18 - Destroy 15 vehicles in 120 seconds WEAPON - Rocket Launcher LOCATION 1 - on top of a warehouse, has stairs to get up there/Pike Creek LOCATION 2 - behind a Badfellas billboard on the road near the entrance to Pike Creek/Francis International Airport BETTER LOCATION - 1 Like the Rocket Launcher rampage in Portland, there will be vigilante citizens again who will try to stop you from blowing the cars up. You can't shoot them or you'll blow yourself up. Location 1 is excellent because you start on top of a warehouse, far away from the reach of those good samaritans. You're even high up enough not to get shot at by the police. Park some cars on the road ahead of time so a traffic jam will occur, then blow up all the trapped cars. Hopefully the cops will come and that will produce even more targets for you. Move along the roof to make more cars spawn. A ton of cars appear rapidly at the intersection you can see from here that has the GASOLINE sign. This rampage is real easy as long as you stay up on the roof that you start on. If you want to do it at Location 2, I would suggest you go to the airport parking lot, because you'll be able to destroy like half the vehicles you need there. Then go to the road that travels past the front of the airport. You can nail two freebie parked taxis there. A lot of traffic is also in that area. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 19 - Splatter 20 Columbians with a car in 120 seconds WEAPON - vehicles LOCATION 1 - behind the FatBurgerKid sign in front of the airport's entrance/Francis International Airport LOCATION 2 - in the woods on the southern side of the hospital/Pike Creek BETTER LOCATION - 1 This is a rampage I HIGHLY advise a bulletproof vehicle or a tank for. Those AK47's and Uzis will blow up almost any non-bulletproof car very quickly. If you do have a bulletproof vehicle or the tank, then this rampage is pretty easy. Just run over every Colombian you see. There are less obstacles to run into on the sidewalks at Location 1. If you don't have a bulletproof vehicle, I would recommend a vehicle that is small and has agility. Slow, bulky vehicles are easy targets for the enemies. Drive back and forth down the sidewalks, and don't slow down. Take corners as fast as you can. If you miss a Columbian, DON'T stop and turn around to get him. If you slow down too much at any time your car will get shot into Swiss cheese and blown up. *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** RAMPAGE 20 - Behead 20 Hoods in 120 seconds WEAPON - M16 LOCATION 1 - behind the Squid sign on the hill in the northeastern corner of the apartment area/Wichita Gardens LOCATION 2 - behind the GASOLINE sign near the parking lot on the giant S-curves/Cedar Grove (thanks to jjj519) BETTER LOCATION - 1 This time you don't have a sniper rifle to shoot heads off with, so you'll need to get in close with the M16 to attack. Only head shots count, so forget targeting their bodies completely. I think the most effective way to beat this rampage is to get the Hoods to notice you by shooting some of them. Stay where you are in the open and keep shooting them. You can kill all of them pretty much just by standing still and letting them come to you. There's a safer way if you don't want to do it that way. Location 2 is excellent because you have a guard rail to keep them from getting in your face, and the billboards to take cover behind. Run behind the billboard and back to get the Hoods to respawn. *********************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 11: Unique Jumps There are twenty of these throughout Liberty City. You have to jump over a certain object or go a certain distance to get the bonus cash the jump awards. You will get $5,000 for the first successful jump, then $10,000, then $15,000, and so on. Daniel Feit says "you are correct about the pay scale for the jumps, but there's a bonus. Instead of $100K, the final jump is worth one MILLION dollars." *************************** 11A - PORTLAND UNIQUE JUMPS *************************** #1 - A concrete block in Chinatown, Portland next to the subway station. You must clear the pedestrian bridge to get the bonus. #2 - A black and yellow striped divider on the Callahan Bridge, on the Portland side. You must clear the first beam below you and land between the two lanes on the grass below. #3 - A mound of dirt underneath the Callahan Bridge on the Portland side. You must jump over both beams while going away from the bridge, not towards it. #4 - A ramp next to some semi-truck trailers at the Portland Docks in Trenton. You have to get over all the trailers. #5 - A ramp near Liberty Sawmill in Trenton. You have to jump all the way over the saw mill. #6 - A dirt mound in Atlantic Quays, which will allow you to leap a distance over the ocean. It's near the place where you had to leave the Mr. Whoopee truck in the "I Scream, You Scream" mission. You must successfully get over the water and land on the opposite side. #7 - A ramp next to the subway in Chinatown. Land on the subway tracks above and make it to the Police Bribe to get credit. #8 - Remember where the lot was where you had to take the Mr. Whoopee truck in the I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM mission? There's a ramp just outside the lot in Atlantic Quays you need to take. Jump over the lot and the warehouse next to it to get credit. ********************* 11B - STAUNTON ISLAND ********************* #9 - Go on the divider at the highway bridge in Newport. Go down the grass in the middle, and you'll find the ramp hidden at the end of it. You have to land near the opposite side of the bridge. #10 - A ramp on top of the parking garage in Newport. You have to land in the second planter across the street. #11 - This one is near the Callahan Bridge. Turn left on the first road after exiting the bridge, and you'll see a room that has breakable glass in the right building. It has signs that say "tw@" in it. Drive up the stairs in this room and jump across the street to get credit. Submitted by: Stefan Hoberg #12 - This jump is a pile of dirt in the cargo container area in Newport, past Asuka's condo. Like the one in Portland at the Atlantic Quays, you have to jump over the ocean to the opposite side to get credit. ******************** 11C - SHORESIDE VALE ******************** #13 - On the four-lane road traveling past the airport in Shoreside Vale there is a dirt road somewhere on the right. It will lead you to a partial wooden bridge. You have to successfully land on the other side of the river, on your wheels I believe. #14 - This one is the ramps beside the hangar near the helicopters at the airport. You don't need to jump all the helicopters, only a couple. It's okay to have a crash. #15 - This one is also the ramps beside another hanger. It's a little distance away from the one with the helicopters. Jump all the way over the hangar to get the reward. #16 - There's yet another ramp at the airport for you, and it's the one that's at the back of the airport, where the customs hangar is in "Grand Theft Aero." Jump all the way over the hangar to get the reward. #17 - This one is at the top of the hill in Pike Creek, where you had to lure the death squads in the mission BAIT. Jump the ramp here in the open area, and land inside the closed-in lot below you. It's got barbed-wire fencing. #18 - This jump is in the very same lot as number 17, only it's in an alleyway to the right of the jump. Land beyond the storage garage. ####################################################################### #19 - There is a FOURTH jump in the airport, and it's the easiest one. As you enter the runway area, before reaching any of the other three jumps, you should see a plane with stairs against it. Jump over the plane. #20 - Start at your hideout (after saving, of course). Cross the street and drive down the grass hill onto the road. Turn right. Drive fast, really fast, up the hill, past the tunnel entrance, through the graffitied underpass, straight towards the dam. As you reach the top of the hill, the road curves into a right hand turn. Don't turn right; drive straight off the cliff. You should clear the river and land in the small park to the left of the dam's base. I don't think you even need to land right side up. Submitted by: Daniel Feit ####################################################################### ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 12: Flying the Dodo Mini-FAQ My thanks go out to the guys at the GTA3 message board at www.gamefaqs.com for teaching me how to fly this plane. There may be many fine planes and helicopters everywhere at the airport, but sadly we are stuck with this rock with wings, or at least that's what you'll call it until I teach you how to fly it. It's best if you use your left stick and not your D-pad for this. First, you must get in a Dodo of course. Go to Francis International Airport to find one. There's one near the helipad, and two more in hangers. Next, taxi onto one of the runways. I prefer the one the jumbo jets take off and land on. Get on the white stripe in the middle of the runway, and make sure you can accelerate without going off into the grass. Hold down the accelerator, and push down on the left stick. Switch to side view. When you see sparks coming up from the front wheel, that's the signal to release the stick. When you take your finger off the stick, your plane will easily rise into the air. Take your finger off of the stick, DO NOT pull up on it. After you are in the air, immediately tap, BUT DON'T PUSH, down on the stick to get the plane level with the ground. Fly in the second "behind car" view, the one that's close up. Whenever you can see a sliver of the red nose above your wings, you should point the plane down until the red is no longer visible. The plane's nose must never point up for too long or you will lose speed and altitude. The plane will drift towards the ground but resist the urge to pull up. The plane will eventually drift up on its own. This is the only safe way to gain altitude. Remember to keep the plane's nose from pointing up too much. Now that you are up in the air, you'll need to learn how to make the plane turn. You need to tap the sticks in the direction you are turning. If you hold down the stick, you'll do a barrel roll, and you'll lose altitude and possibly your control. Your turns must be as gentle as possible, or you might de-stabilize the plane and that would be a serious problem. Almost nobody learns to fly this plane on their first try. You need to spend at least a couple of hours practicing before you can fly reliably. Keep trying though, you'll eventually catch on. THE FIVE RULES OF THE DODO #1 - Do not hold down the sticks at any time, or you'll lose stability. #2 - Do not pull up at any time, or you'll simply lose speed and altitude. #3 - Do not turn while in the take off process, or you might lose stability the moment you leave the ground. #4 - Do not turn in the air unless you have to, or you'll also lose stability. #5 - Do not fly over any unique jumps, or you'll be stuck in endless slow-motion mode until you touch the ground. ####################################################################### When you take off from where ever, then stop holding X button (or gas) the plane will continue to soar regardless. In fact holding down X to long will cause your plane to stall. Since you can't pull back on the analog stick even though this will pull the nose up it will also decrease your speed and you'll still stall. However, if you plane is level and the nose begins to dip or if you going to start turning THAT'S WHEN you want to hold down X button. Thereby increase speed and lift. Then release X button once your plane is again level. Makes for much more controlled flight. Submitted by: Bryan Smith ####################################################################### ####################################################################### At the place where the tunnel goes into the mountain, the road stops, but it stays on your radar. If you follow this to the end of the world, you'll find something the programmers clearly put in there. The alternate way to find this is just fly around the east side of Portland, and head straight north to the end of the world. Probably want to turn west before your system crashes to see all of it. So, you can only see this on your radar, but 'written' on the ground you'll find names like, 'gary's town', 'Chris's town', 'aaronsville', 'adamton', 'woodcunty' (did they forget an 'o' or not?), and 'obbebugh'. I'm not too sure about all the spellings, but that's all I've found. And, I doubt anyone is as bored as I am. No, I'm sure others are more bored than I am, but you can do a unique jump in the dodo. With a 3 start wanted level, the helicopter will continue to chase you in the dodo. Oh, and flying off the map north/south will crash your system immediately, but flying off east-west will only stop the game from rendering your plane. You can still fly it, preferably back on the map.

Don't complain if they don't work because I won't know how to fix it, due to the fact I have seldom used any of these tricks. I give credit to www.gamewinners.com as the source of the codes that aren't already credited here. You should enter these while you are outside of a vehicle and not paused. If entered correctly, you will get a "Cheat Activated" message. Before you put any of them in, read this: IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!: Be careful about entering cheat codes, because some of them cannot be turned off by reentering the code, and if you save you'll be stuck with them until you delete the file. This is especially deadly with the PEDESTRIANS HATE YOU code, or the PEDESTRIANS RIOT code. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Also, I read in the May 2002 issue of Gamepro Magazine that there are codes that will actually cause your file to become corrupted, so that you can't load the file anymore. The only way out of this predicament is to delete the GTA3 cube on your memory card screen at start up and begin again from scratch. I've also heard from others that there are people who can't get 100% completion even after they've done everything, which I'm also guessing is a side effect of using codes. And I quote "The following cheat codes are the only ones authorized by Rockstar, who assured us that using them would not corrupt any of your saved game files or adversly affect the game: - Change Costumes - Normal Weather - Improve Your Driving Skills - Raise Wanted Level - Make It Foggy - Speed Things Up - Make It Rain - Wanted Level Down The following cheat codes were not authorized by Rockstar and could corrupt your game or memory card. Use them at your own risk: - All Weapons - Full Health - Crazy Pedestrians - Pedestrians Riot - Destoy All Cars - Pedestrians Attack - Extra Money - Pedestrains Fight Each Other - Full Armor - Tank If you are going to use these cheat codes, we recommend using a separate game file and using the codes in that game, or using another memory card altogether." (Gamepro, page 28) I have something more I would like to add to this. If you want to just play around with the corrupting codes, input the code but don't save your game while you're using the code. This will allow you to still experiment with the codes while not putting your hard work at risk. ************************************** 13A - HEALTH, WEAPONS, AND MONEY CODES ************************************** ALL WEAPONS - R2, R2, L1, R2, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up NOTE: You can repeat this code over and over until you get to 9999 bullets for each gun.

The hookers are most frequently seen in, of course, the Red Light District. Park next to a hooker (wearing a pink or a brown shirt) and she will walk over to your window, bend down, and talk to you. She will then get in, and you'll lose a dollar a second for as long as she is in the vehicle. Go to a deserted area, like in a patch of trees or your hideout, and the car will start shaking. You should get 25 health when the car stops shaking. If you want more health, move the car around a little while the car is shaking. The shaking will stop until you stop the car again. If you keep moving the car you can fill up your meter completely. She will eventually get out of the car. If you want your money back, then kill her. Despite what people say, you DON'T need a nice car to attract them and you DON'T need to honk the horn. In fact, the first time I performed this, I used an ugly Manana. The hooker won't get into any emergency vehicles, or taxis. You also can't get the hooker to get into a car with you during a mission. If you get a hooker into a convertible, you'll instantly get 25 health when you go to an isolated area and the hooker will get out. ####################################################################### A neat trick to do is to use a van to pick up TWO hookers and have a threesome. It doesn't get you anymore health than 125, but it's pretty funny to watch. Submitted by: Ray ####################################################################### ####################################################################### A - A prostitute or many prostitutes follow you. I found the way to always get a prostitute with you. You can get 1 , 2 , 3 or more following you all over if you want. 1 - Get a car or van with only one door in the left. The drivers door. (Rumpo works well) 2 - Stop the car when the prostitute is in the driver's side. 3 - When she attemps to go to the other door inside the car, press triangle end exit the car. Now she is ready to follow you. Repeat the steps 1, 2, 3 as many times as you want while the prostitutes accumulates waiting for you. B - A prostitute follows you as passanger in a plane. When a prostitute or several prostitutes are following after you did the steps above, she or they will never get inside a car. In fact you can never pick up a prostitute inside a police car or taxi. The only way to do in is with Misty. 1 - Start a New game 2 - Go to first or third mission 3 - Jump the Bridge with the cheat code 4 - Go to the airport (Tunnel to the Valley is alway open when you get Stauton Island Jumping the bridge ) and take the Dodo with her. 5 - She will go with you by train, plane, tank, taxi, boat, anithing you choose. C - Get a friend that dies for you. When you walk with Misty, if you get in trouble and fight with someone, Misti will fight for you to protect you until she dies!!! Submitted by: Benjamin Sabido ####################################################################### *************************** 14B - FREEBIE ITEM VEHICLES *************************** - If you get inside a police car, you'll get a shotgun and five shells. - If you get inside an ambulance, you'll get 20 health. However, if you have gotten extra health via a hooker, you'll go down to 100 upon entering an ambulance. (submitted by FemaleOutlaw) - If you get inside an Enforcer, you'll get Body Armor. ******************************* 14C - SECURICAR CRACKING GARAGE ******************************* Janos Auldren found this garage in Portland Docks in Trenton. It's the garage with no number, the one where you had to bring the Securicar to in the mission "Van Heist." When you bring a Securicar here you'll get a little money. Janos Auldren also suggests completing the Import/Export garage nearby this garage, so you can quickly move many Securicars into this garage for easy cash. ####################################################################### The first time you bring in a Securicar, you get a $5,000 reward. The next Securicar nets you $4,500, and so on. Thus, you can score a total of $27,500 by delivering 10 Securicars to the garage. Submitted By: Jacob Seligmann ####################################################################### ************************************ 14D - GHOST MISSING, THE SECRET BOAT ************************************ ####################################################################### On the "Gone Fishing" mission for Ray, you can chase the boat up onto the beach in Portland, where it will get stuck. Your target will get out of his boat and run, and you can run aground and kill him. Afterwards you can get his boat back into the water if you push it carefully back down the beach, and drive it to your heart's content. The game calls the boat Ghost Missing where the name of the vehicle is written, (I assume this is because it's a glitch and you aren't supposed to ride in it) and it is just like the police boat, except it's luminous and blue, and the cannons wont fire. There isn't much you can do with it, since it's just a boat and you can't save it in a garage, but it's still kind of cool. Submitted by: Jim Burm ####################################################################### ************** 14E - WEBSITES ************** There are three websites in this game that you can see on signs or LED signs. None of them work, at least not yet. - http://www.dma-designs./gta3/secret.htm - can be found on the LED scrolling signs at the front of Francis International Airport in Shoreside Vale.

(submitted by Aaron Lopez) - http://www.dma-designs.com/gta3/bonus.htm - "I think it is on a scrolling board in the road by Kenji's casino which always has water on it and lots of flashing boards "TimesSquare" style in Staunton." (submitted by James Risk) - Also, most of the websites mentioned in the game are real. Since so many people keep submitting them, I'll post them here. There's not much to do on most of them though: - www.lovemedia.tv - www.petsovernight.com - www.pogothemonkey.com WARNING! ADULT CONTENT ON THESE TWO SITES! - www.hiphophoneys.com - www.gamecrib.com ******************** 14F - THE GHOST TOWN ******************** My thanks again goes out to the guys at the GTA3 messageboard at www.gamefaqs.com. Remember that bank in the opening cinema? And how you've driven all over the city and could never find it? Below is how to discover this very well-hidden area. To see the Ghost Town, you have to be good at flying the Dodo. Read the Flying the Dodo Mini-FAQ to learn to fly it if you don't already know how. Now that you do know how to fly the Dodo, you have to fly to those big mountains that you can see from the northern side of Portland or Staunton Island. The ones over the ocean, you know? After you fly there, you have to actually fly INTO them. The mountains have no collision detection, so you can fly right through them. Any place is good as long as you aren't too close to Shoreside Vale. After you are through on the other side, you need to turn to the west. Fly under the mountains to underneath Shoreside Vale. You'll need to go through another wall on the way, but it also isn't solid. Everything is upside down here, literally. It's a pretty incredible sight. After you pass through the mountain underneath the mountains, you will see a small city under here, only the buildings are half finished and sitting on nothingness. You have finally arrived at the Ghost Town. You can see the bank that the Colombians robbed in the opening, and the Securicars are even there too. Don't try to land on anything, because nothing is solid here, like those mountains you passed through. I am guessing the opening was shot in real time so that the collision detection wouldn't have to be fussed with. There's nothing to pick up here or anything. It's little more than a cool place to briefly visit. There's a way to get out of here without dying if you need to. See that large space near the Ghost Town where there is no water and only black? If you fly down into it, you should pop up in the Shoreside Vale tunnel, assuming you are near the Ghost Town when you do this. The tunnel is the one that is opened up, NOT the one that is always blocked by barricades in Shoreside Vale. However, it IS possible to see where the blocked-up tunnels go and even get inside them. Down here, you may see the tunnels jutting out from the underside of the mountain. You'll see that the tunnels stop going when they go out of sight from the barricades, cementing the fact that you can't unlock them. If you're an excellent Dodo pilot, it's possible to fly inside the back end of the tunnel and land on the other side of the barricades. The floor that's away from the barricade isn't solid and you'll fall right through it. ************************************************************ 14G - "YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO GET HERE YOU KNOW" ************************************************************ Again I thank the guys at the GTA3 messageboard who found this. The weird title of this section is what is written on a sign hidden in a secret area of Liberty City. To find it, first go to Staunton Island. Head for Bedford Point, and bring a tall vehicle with you, like an Ambulance. Go to that parking lot where the suicide bombers attacked you in the mission KINGDOM COME. Park your Ambulance next to the wall where the Kuruma is parked. Climb up on top of the ambulance and jump over the wall. On the other side, you'll see the "You weren't supposed to be able to get here you know." Sign. When you're ready to exit this area, use the ramp that the programmers were so nice to put there for you. ************************************ 14H - GETTING TO NEW DISTRICTS EARLY ************************************ This is yet another thing from the GTA3 messageboard at www.gamefaqs.com I have to thank for. I wasn't going to put this in originally because I consider it cheating, but since so many people have nagged me about it I'm putting it in anyway. You can use the Car Can Fly code and/or the Great Handling code (with the L3 button to jump) to get across the broken down bridges to the next districts. If you go to Staunton Island early, it's possible to ride the subway to Shoreside Vale without having to fuss with a gate blocking the subway, and the Porter Tunnel will also be unblocked between those two islands. You can also get a boat from Francis International Airport to drive back into Stauton. If you need to go back to Portland, you can also take a boat from Asuka's place. That_cool_king submitted a way to get to Stauton Island without using any codes. He says "If you go to the far right of the calahan bridge you'll see some metal sticking out. Get to the very edge. Then aim with front view to a piece of metal slowping down. Jump to it and you're at Staunton Island." There is also a legit way to get to Shoreside Vale without any codes. Get a boat, and go near the hospital. To the east of the hospital is a place where the cliff is low enough for you to ramp your boat onto land. Push your boat past Phil's Army Surplus Store down the road, because that's where the pipe blocking off Shoreside Vale is. After you are past the pipe, push your boat into the water and go to Shoreside Vale. ####################################################################### You can get into the subway in Portland before it opens. I am positive that it works. First, you complete a mission or get something on your beeper for example hidden packages. Second, you save the game. Third, you reload the save. Fourth, you get a car and drive to the unique jump above the subway. Then you inch the car over the ramp so that it topples over and falls right through the gate. Submitted by: Dfwd Ewtf ####################################################################### ********************* 14I - THE FLYING TANK ********************* This trick submitted by Jesse will allow you to fly a tank like the Dodo. ####################################################################### Get the tank. Turn the turret backwards, and put on the CAR CAN FLY code. Hold x and at the same time tap Circle. Find a straightaway to do this and sooner or later the tank takes off itself (or you can pull the joystick and take off early, but you'll fall soon after). If you've mastered flying the dodo the short distances it can go, this should be somewhat easy. You can also get to EVERY island before doing ANY missions by doing this. I've flown around from island to island for at least 15 minutes without crashing, just flying around. Submitted by: Jesse NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: You have to keep tapping the Circle button constantly while doing all of this so the turrent will keep shooting. If you ever stop tapping the Circle button, the tank will crash into the ground. ####################################################################### ************************* 14J - DRIVE BLOWN UP CARS ************************* This trick will allow you to drive a car that is blown up already. ####################################################################### Stand at the front of a car so that you face back towards the driver or headlight on the same side as the driver (The right headlight when facing the car). Type in the "Blow up all cars cheat". Because of the triangle button in the cheat, the dude will get in the car as it blows up. The car will be on fire (and will quickly blow-up again), so type in the "Health cheat" to fix the cars health. Now you can drive the car around (missing one wheel!!). All vehicles I've tried this with work so far, and it can be done every time. Submitted by: Tim Alexander ####################################################################### ************************** 14K - COSTUME CHANGE TRICK ************************** This trick will supposedly allow you to be immune to gang hatred. ####################################################################### I like to call this....Marty Chonks, Criminal Superstar! You may have heard of this before(I heard mention of this on Gamefaqs messageboard), well I decided to test this out, and after testing it in many different ways, I found it to be legitimate. If you use the Character Change cheat to get the Marty Chonks look alike, you will never be attacked by gang members again. Let me clarify things so you dont think Im talkin trash. First, as far as I know there are only 3 peds who wear a trenchcoat with a round 50's style hat. One of them has dark hair and a moustache, this is not Marty look alike. Second is and older man with grey hair, now this man looks almost exactly like Marty look alike, except, he is slightly shorter and his face looks a little more beaten up, like somebody wacked him with a 2x4 too many times. Marty look alike is tall, with grey hair, and wears a somewhat light brown trenchcoat. When you use him all gang members will not shoot at you, nor will they try to throw you out of your car when you drive around in their territory. They will not gang up on you if you kill one of their own either. Some things to know: 1. Cops are immune to Marty's super criminal status, and will act like they normally do, shoot at you, arrest you,etc. 2. If you get Wasted or Arrested, Marty looses his Superstar status, and gang members treat you like normal. I tried both of these out, then ran into gang territory and was attacked. 3. I drove around to see if I would be carjacked, and eventually I was, so your not immune to having your wheels jacked. 4. Vigilante missions, the people you try to kill in this WILL shoot at you and try to kill you, as well as steal your car. 5. Normal citizens wont run from you, when I first heard of this trick I was told that peds will run from you, well unless your shooting at them they dont run from you. 6. THE GREATEST THING OF ALL. When I was testing this trick, I decided to go on a mission. I took the later Asuka mission "ESPRESSO-2-GO!" Well the Columbians didnt ever shoot at me as I approached their little kiosks, and they in no way tryed to stop me. I also tryed "Uzi Money" for D-Ice, and I was not attacked by anyone including Redjacks, who under normal circumstances will try to ram the car your in. Submitted by: Lee Shaolin ####################################################################### ####################################################################### You are not totally immune from gang warfare. In addition to what is already told about not being immune, if you shoot a gang member - any other members in their cars will chase you until it blows up. Not only will walking gang members just not shoot back at you, they will run. My life in St Marks has now been made one hell of a lot easier.

I'm no longer accepting submissions for this section, so please don't send me any more locations. ####################################################################### #1 - At the far end of ramp that the respray shop is on in Staunton Island (The one you use in the "Grand Theft Auto" mission). Right in the far right corner you can face the street and go nuts. The cops on foot can't get to you and they can't shoot at you. Your only problem is helicopters and those are easy enough to deal with. #2 - At the subway entrance near the airport. (At the top of the "Rocky" stairs. Once again helicopters are the main problem. If you sit right at the top the cops WILL charge up the stairs but if you hide near the corner they will just circle like idiots. If things get out of control the beauty is you can just run down into the subway! Once a tank chased me down the stairs but it was my fault for letting him get up there in the first place. #3 - The bridge that connects Downtown with the Suburbs. Heading from Shoreside to Staunton, One of the curves is hoisted on top of a small building with two taller buildings backing it. If you drive towards the tall buildings you'll hit them and fall straight down onto the small building. If you land upside down there is enough room to get away from the explosion. Once there, you can go to the corners of the small building and have a nice view of the T shaped intersection to cause all sorts of trouble. Once you get to the higher wanted rating though, stay hidden underneath the turnpike otherwise the FBI, Army etc. will do what you did and jump down in their cars and murder you. Submitted by: Graeme Andrew Okurley ####################################################################### #4 - The parking garage in Newport in Staunton is a pretty good place to turn into your own private fort. Stand on top of cars and snipe out through the windows, blow up cops who try to enter through the gates, etc. #5 - Go to the ramp for Unique Jump #8 (read a little above for the location) and stand at the top of the ramp. You can bomb the cops on the highway below and they won't be able to shoot back at you, unless they are in the helicopters. #6 - Your hideout in Staunton Island is perfect for a place to engage the police from. It's also a great place for capturing the elusive FBI Car. #7 - On top of the train tracks in Portland. #8 - On top of the AMCO building in Torrington in Staunton Island. #9 - A room in a building across the street from the AMCO building that you can enter. It has glass walls, like the Internet café. #10 - At the place in the mission BAIT, where you had to lure the death squads into this lot. Stand on top of the ramp in the small alley to the left. From here you can bomb anyone on the street below and be well-protected. ####################################################################### #11 - A very good place is right outside the door of your Shoreside Vale hideout. I tried this once, and the cars do not enter the lot. They simply keep driving and often flip. Even tanks do it. Every once in a while a single cop will come charge you. As always, the helicopters are the only problem. #12 - In Portland in Chinatown there is a fairly large building next to the highway called punk noodles. Go up the steps and around the corner and jump onto the awning. From here you can take shots at civilians, triads, cops and you can shoot at the cops. Helicopters can get to you though, and the cops tend to go underneath the awning so you can't hit them and they can't hit you. All you have to do is drop down a Molotov cocktail or a grenade down and hope but I bounce grenades off the building opposite onto them. Also there is a hidden package up there somewhere. Submitted by: Chris Bergeron ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #13 - A very good place to fight police is in Portland at the police station. To get to it just purposely get busted and when you resume control of your guy go to the immediate right. There should be a flight of stairs. Just climb it and go to the right up to the wall. After you get there you can enable the "ALL WEAPONS" cheat or go collect weapons and then blast away. The cops will not be able to shoot you and most of the tanks will eventually blow themselves up because they keep driving into the wall around the station. All you will have to worry about is helicopters. When done you can either die or enable the "NO WANTED LEVEL" cheat and walk away with an executioner rating on the stats page of your menu. (NOTE: One time I was in this spot and one of the Barracks OL came behind me via the ramp on the left side of the station, this has only happened once out of the numerous times I've stayed in this spot so just watch out for that) Submitted by: Matt Beard ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #14 - At the "b**** n dog food" plant in Portland, the walls of the fortress don't stop area-effect weapons, such as the bat and the flame-thrower. By switching to the top view (select button three times) you get a nice perspective as you ignite groups of cops, feds, civilians, etc. use cocktails to dispose of tanks, and rockets for choppers, as normal. This also works on the main level of the parking garage, but you don't get the top view. You can get arrested through the wall too, so take note, and stay away from the gate. Submitted by: James Chaykowski ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #15 - OK, on all of your areas to shoot from, you said that the helicopters were a problem. There is one spot I found that has constant people running around and Helicopters are unable to shoot you. Go into the parking garage, and go up until you are directly under the unique jump. Park a car or Bobcat there and jump on it. Then walk close to the edge and take aim. Get your level up and the helicopters will arrive but they won't have the right angle to be able to shoot into the garage. They MAY shoot, but it cannot hit you. Submitted by: Eric Spitler ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #16 - Another fun place to engage the cops in the garage at the Shoreside Vale hideout. Stand inside the garage in the middle towards the back wall. This should give you a clear view of the sidewalk. You can now shot pedestrians and police vehicles freely. You are protected from the helicopters and the police, FBI or army vehicles will not enter your lot. The only threat is a few single police officers that will attempt to jump the small wall that outlines your hideout. Submitted by: FemaleOutlaw ####################################################################### #17 - Stand on top of the ledge that borders the projects in Wichita Gardens, Shoreside Vale. ####################################################################### #18 - Get a huge (at least 5) wanted level, run down to the docks in Staunton, and jump in a boat. Drive under the bridge with the gap in the middle, the one that doesn't lead out of the city, and go back and forth beneath it. The cops and feds will start flying into the water trying to get you! Perfect place to sit and laugh at cops; the only things that can hit you are copters and you can hit triangle, take a few steps back, and blow them down with a rocket launcher. Submitted by: Xxanth ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #19 - There's a spot in Portland where you're invulnerable to everything but the helicopters. You could enter the Weapons cheat if you want to, but make sure you have plenty armor. First you have to drive to the car crusher over by eight ball's bomb shop. To the left of the crusher, there's a yellow (I guess the best to put it is) conveyor belt. Jump on top of it, and run to the top. It may take a few tries, so don't give up. Once you get up to the top, back up a step or two. Take out your sniper rifle, and pick people off from far. You'll have to zoom all the way in, so it takes aim. You can also blow up the fire engine. Your wanted level will continually rise while the cops go nuts trying to get to you. They'll drive in circles, and then try to make it down the rocks. With the police car not being a great offroad vehicle, it's going to flip. Take advantage and either throw a grenade or shoot a rocket to finish the job. The helicopters will come from straight ahead, or your right hand side. Be weary, they have the tendency to hover directly above you, therefore, if you shoot a rocket while too close, you'll take the splash damage. You can even fall off of the conveyor belt if you aren't careful. Sometimes, cops will make their way down to where you are, but only two at a time. You can throw a grenade down there, but just tap the circle button.

The intersection provides for ample pedestrians and cops to pop off. The roof is wide open and allows for the shooting down of helicopters. What's great, is when the FBI gets in there, they drive around the corner and nearly flip their cars over EVERY TIME. I laugh all the way to the bank. And the best is that if you get bored busting them all down, just park your Barracks OL at the bottom of the stairs and take off. It'll be untouched. #21 - The Dam. There is a spot halfway down the dam that ends in a two-story stairway. Go up, pop civilians, rocket the helicopters, and drop grenades for the po po. This is great. #22 - Behind the Shoreside Vale police station. Jump onto the building behind the station and run to the end. You should be above the four-way intersection, full of pedestrians, cops, and FUN. Enjoy the mayhem.

Submitted by: Ryan Hiller ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #25 - Jack a Colombian cartel and go into the gate where you rescued the old Asian man for Donald love on Staunton Island. The area should be free now if you beat the mission. You can blast away at everything through the gate and the gate will not open. Just don't go near it. Hide in the garages to avoid the helicopters or shoot them down. The buildings are pretty high so it'll take a while to them to fly down and shoot you. Have fun raising your wanted level there. #26 - the Panlantic construction site on Staunton Island. On the half built building you can walk in. the helicopters can't touch you there. Raise your wanted level if you wish and start sniping them through the gates. If you really want more action play cat and mouse with a fast car and drive around to get some action with the authorities. If you're lucky you'll see them. They will come through the gates and start smashing themselves into walls. They can't touch you. I had the FBI chase me into the building once. #27 - Kenji's parking garage on Staunton Island. Helicopters can get you here. Go into the parking lot and up the stairs under the big bright yellow awning. Sit there and start blasting everything that walks or drives. The police can't really shoot you if you're against the back wall. If you're against the glass gate you'll get hit but just watch everything go by and hit the helicopters. To add more fun drop bombs and fire.

Also just shoot the glass windows and u can pick off pedestrians, cops, etc. You can just shoot down at the cops and they can't hit u. Just make sure u don't fall off the floor where the window use to be. Submitted by: Bstsktbdr ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #29 - A nice place to kill cops and create a rampage is on top of a building near the bridge to go to Shoreside Vale. Take a fast car and ride up the ramp and jump off the edge onto a top of a building. You may land on the roof of your car so get away fast. Stay on the top of the building though. There's a package around there somewhere too. Go to the part which is right under the bridge and no helicopter will be able to get you. From there you can snipe or drop grenades to kingdom come. Note on rare occasions the helicopters might come down on the far side of the rooftop and shoot directly on your side. This can be avoided however by using the giant wall, which holds the bridge up as a barrier. Submitted by: anonymous ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #30 - Staunton Island, go to the Staunton - Shoreside bridge, where the metal work starts on the right hand side, climb up the sloped bit of concrete onto the side. Walk all the way along the bridge to where it was separated before Shoreside was available (there's a gray/beige pillar on the right hand side) and jump onto the raised concrete platform. Walk around the red girder on the right and get onto the little ledge, face the north and walk off, you will land on a blue walkway. Walk all the way along it towards Staunton and start shooting stuff, and get your wanted level nice and high. Only the helicopters can get you. If you want to get off take a running jump at the far end of the walkway near the intersection to land in the grass. Be sure to get rid of your wanted level first though, or about 50 FBI guys that have been hiding under the walkway will all fire at once. You can easily blow up cop cars that are on the bridge with the rocket launcher or flame-thrower, and below you with Molotovs or grenades. Submitted by: Tom Arthur ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #31 - Have you ever tried to stake yourself out at the small island in the park in Staunton Island? I just raise my wanted level to about 2 stars, then run up onto the island. If you wait long enough for the cops to come chase you, they'll come flying off the ramp over head, as it's the closest way for them to get to you. Most of the cars (Cop cars, enforcers, FBI cars...) usually flip over and blow up in the water below. If not, you can just snipe, grenade or burn whoever survives. Again, the helicopters are the only problem, and the tanks eventually, but it is funny for a while. Submitted by: genser ####################################################################### ####################################################################### #32 - You're probably not interested anymore but if get a flame-thrower and a lot of ammo and go in the little "hut" next to the Colombian villa/mansion you can spray fire through the walls but it is impossible for any cop or helicopter to hit you. Your only threat is cop cars blowing up outside. Also you will need to go the top view. The one that was in GTA1 and 2.
