You may also use a joypad for controlling to enjoy the additional feature of auto-targeting of weapons. Esc - Regardless of whether you're on foot or in a vehicle the Esc key is the pause button. When the game is paused it brings up your menu which you can cycle through and change various options or look at your statistics. V - The V key basically controls the camera distance, there are three different camera distances you can choose from when running around on foot and various different types of camera for your vehicles as well. W - While on foot, the W key moves CJ forward and while in cars/boats/planes, it moves the cars/boats/planes forward and finally in helicopters, it rises the attitude of the helicopter. Tapping W while on a bike allows you to pedal harder and accelerate the bike. S - While on foot, the S key moves CJ backward and while in cars/boats/planes, it moves the cars/boats/planes backward and finally in helicopters, it lowers the attitude of the helicopter. Left arrow / A - While on foot, left arrow / A moves CJ to the left and while in cars/boats, left arrow / A steer the car to the left. In planes/helicopters, left arrow / A banks the planes/helicopters to the left. Press left arrow / A while CJ is crouching and aiming allows you to strafe to the left. Right arrow / D - While on foot, right arrow / D moves CJ to the right and while in cars/boats, right arrow / D steer the car to the right. In planes/helicopters, right arrow / D banks the planes/helicopters to the right. Press right arrow / D while CJ is crouching and aiming allows you to strafe to the right. Up arrow - While on foot, this is exactly the same as W and while in cars/boats, it moves the camera up. In bikes and motorcycles, pressing up arrow will make CJ stands up and finally in planes, it tilts the plane down and finally in helicopters, it tilts the helicopter forward. Down arrow - While on foot, this is exactly the same as S and while in cars/boats, it moves the camera down. In bikes and motorcycles, pressing down arrow will tilt the bike/motorcycle up and finally in planes, it tilts the plane up and finally in helicopters, it tilts the helicopter backwards. Q / Mouse wheel up - While on foot, this cycles through CJ's weapon and while in cars/boats, this makes CJ to look left of the cars/boats, making him able to do drive-by. In planes, this moves the rudder left and in helicopters, this moves the facing direction of the helicopter to the left. If you are using keyboard + mouse control, you cannot auto-aim as the mouse already excellent aiming. If you are using joypad, this button also serves as auto-aiming. E / Mouse wheel down - While on foot, this cycles through CJ's weapon and while in cars/boats, this makes CJ to look right of the cars/boats, making him able to do drive-by. In planes, this moves the rudder right and in helicopters, this moves the facing direction of the helicopter to the right. If you are using keyboard + mouse control, you cannot auto-aim as the mouse already excellent aiming. If you are using joypad, this button also serves as auto-aiming. C - This make CJ to crouch when on foot and does nothing when in vehicles. Caps Lock - This does nothing when on foot and horns when in cars. It also helps balance the helicoptor. Mouse Movement - While on foot, the mouse movement controls the direction CJ is facing and while on cars/boats/planes, the mouse movement controls the camera, moving it around will circle the camera around you and pretty much give you any view you want, though it always defaults back to where it started (except for first person camera view, in this case mouse movement is useless). In helicopter, moving the mouse will move the helicopter in that direction. In order to change camera direction in a helicopter, hold RMB while moving the mouse will do. Space - While on foot, the Space bar makes CJ to sprint. Tapping Space quickly will make CJ even runs faster. In vehicles, the Space bar is used for hand braking. The Space bar can also be used to skip most of the cutscene in the game. Return / F - Return / F is used while on foot to either get into a car or onto a motorcycle and such. It also kind of acts as the initiation button for special events and such like buying a drink. If you press Return / F while in your car, then you will get out of the car, hooray! The Return also acts as a confirmation when you are browsing the menu. LShift - LShift is the jump key, when you jump and grab onto a ledge it also allows you to climb up the ledge. While fighting you can use LShift to block, but who does that. LCtrl / LMB - LCtrl / LMB is the attack key while on foot allowing you to punch and kick and do other such violent things. If you press LCtrl / LMB while in a car you can shoot, and also while you're holding a gun. If you're in water it will allow you to dive under, or open your parachute while you fall. LCtrl / LMB is your basic backup emergency button. LCtrl while on a bike will perform a bunny hop. RMB - While on foot, RMB will aim the weapon at the enemy and while on vehicle, holding RMB and move mouse will move the camera view direction. MMB - Whether on foot or in vehicles, press MMB will look behind. Tab - Tab has numerous functions while on foot, it lets you look at your statistics but when you have a gun out it also acts as an alternate fire button. In a car it doesn't do anything but you can bunny hop on a bike. 2 - Activates sub-missions when you are in special cars like fire-truck. Also release or retracks the landing gear when you are in the planes. Note: you cannot auto aim in PC version if you are not using a joypad because you can aim prettily easily with the mouse! While if you are using joypad, the button for scrolling to the next/previous weapon is used for scrolling to the next/previous target when aiming. O============================================================================O | Full Walkthrough (00010) | O============================================================================O When the game begins you will be dropped off in an alley in front of a BMX bicycle. Get onto the bike using Return / F and start peddling by holding W. On bicycles you can peddle faster by tapping W rather than holding it. Your first destination is the location marked with the "CJ" icon on your minimap. Ride your bike there and you'll find a red marker outside the house. Get off the bike and step into it. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Big Smoke | \_/ (00011) \------------------------------------------------------o After a couple of scenes in this mission you'll find yourself forced to flee on bicycle. There's some gang members in a car chasing you. Your goal is simply to follow the lead biker with the marker over his head, but your safety comes first so if the car is approaching speed up or slow down to avoid becoming a drive-by victim. Eventually they split up and you have a new person to follow. Remember that just because you lose sight of them it doesn't mean you've lost track of them, the blue icon always remains on your radar so follow that and make your way back to your house. Get on the red marker to end the mission and get some respect. Now you can go into your house to save your game, as well as use your garage to store a car which will remain there even when you turn off the game. To start the next mission first go into your house and save the game using the diskette icon. Now as you leave the house you'll get a phone call. Answer it by pressing Return / F, now head next door and step on the marker to trigger the next mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Ryder | \_/ (00012) \------------------------------------------------------o Get into Ryder's car and head to the yellow icon. This is the barber shop, you can get your hair done how you like it (or more appropriately, how you can afford it) here. You can select any hairstyle to preview it and then, press space bar again to confirm it. Following this head into the pizza shop to get yourself a nice meal. When you exit you need to get into the car quickly to avoid being shot. Now drive back to Ryder's house and stop on the red icon to get some more respect. Your next mission is found two doors down. O============================================================================O | Sweet's Missions (00020) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Tagging up Turf | \_/ (00021) \------------------------------------------------------o Get into the car and a yellow icon will appear on the map. Drive there and get out of your car. You'll have to do some tagging of your own here. Each tag is marked on your map as a dark green square. There's one on the house behind you and another on the wall of the alley nearby. The tags primarily serve as the game's equivalent of hidden packages. Get all of them for a reward. Return to Sweet's car and drive to the next marker. There are a couple of tags here. Get the first one on the wall and then go down the alley toward the marker. A couple of gang members are here, run up to them and distract them with a little paint to the face and then tag the nearby wall. Now make your way to the marker and hop over the two fences. You need to get up onto the building and tag the wall on your right. Now jump down and hop into Sweet's car. Now just get back to your neighborhood, no problem. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Cleaning the Hood | \_/ (00022) \------------------------------------------------------o Hop into a car and Ryder will get in with you. When you get to the red marker watch the scene then go across the street and beat up the guy located at the red marker. Ryder will follow you and help, but all you really need to do is target him with RMB and just attack with LMB, he won't even have a chance to retaliate. Pick up the baseball bat after the job is done and get to the red marker. Enter the house and use your bat to start beating up all the guys in here. Now all you have to do is hop in a car and drive back to your house. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Drive-Thru | \_/ (00023) \------------------------------------------------------o Start the mission by getting into the car and driving to the restaurant marked on your map. Something comes up and your new mission becaomes capping those guys before they cap your homies. Start driving after them, keeping up as much as possible so that the people in your car climb out the window and start to fire. Don't worry about trying to smash the car, damage done from the guns is more than enough to take them out. Once the car catches on fire the gang members hop out, this becomes an easy task. Stay in your car and simply run them down, the only thing you have to avoid is their car because once it's been on fire for more than a few seconds it'll explode. When the gang members are dead drive back to the house, and then take Sweet home from there. After this mission and answering your cell phone you can access the gym, working out allows you to build up some muscle and tone up your body. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Nines and AKs | \_/ (00024) \------------------------------------------------------o Your first task is to get into the car and drive to Emmet's house. When you arrive a scene occurs and you have to complete a little tutorial. It's quite easy, now that you're equipped with a gun you can target objects using the RMB and then fire with LMB, it pretty much guarantees a hit. For the next part, if you are using a joypad, you can cycle between targets while holding RMB. Also note that if you want, you can move your mouse to fire manually (and it's a must if you are using keyboard + mouse control, and there will be a tutorial for this in just a moment.) Press C to crouch and fire for better accuracy. Now for the final test use the mouse and aim your gun at the gas tank of the car, it's located right above the rear wheel. Get into your car and drive Sweet home, but that's still not the end of the mission. Before it's over you've got to get yourself some new threads. Drive over to the local Binco, marked on your map as always, and step inside. Remember that anything you buy here can be accessed later at your house, so don't hesitate to pick up more than one outfit. Simply leaving the store triggers the end of the mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Drive-By | \_/ (00025) \------------------------------------------------------o Hop into the car and drive to the red marker. All you have to do is drive here, the guys in the back will be the ones doing the shooting. As the game mentions looking left and right with Q and E can be quite beneficial. Just because they're the ones with the gun however doesn't mean there's nothing for you to do, why not start running them down with your car to speed things up? Drive from gang group to gang group, each one is marked separately on your map. The last group can be found down in the park area, once you've taken care of them you'll have a two star wanted level. This means the cops will be after you, and they're mad enough not to give up no matter where you hide. This means of course you need to find some way to get rid of the tail, do this by getting your car painted. The paint shop is the spray can on your map, located due South from here. It doesn't matter how close the cops are when you drive in, doing so will make them forget all about you. Now you've got two flashing stars, this means that if you do absolutely anything wrong for the next couple minutes or so, both stars will come back and you'll have to get the car sprayed again. Avoid this by driving carefully back to your home turf for a nice five-hundred dollar reward. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Sweet's Girl | \_/ (00026) \------------------------------------------------------o If you've got a car in your garage then now's the time to pull it out, you have to get to Sweet and save his ass as fast as you possibly can, his health meter is viewable at the upper right corner, if it drains then that's game over. Find a car and gun it to the location of the red triangle on your map. You can get out of your car and shoot them down if you want but it's far easier and less dangerous simply to run them over. If your car sets on fire try to position it near a bunch of them and bail out so your car becomes a fiery explosive weapon of death. Once they're taken care of Sweet and his girl hop in the car, but you'll have to be careful the gang members are following you all the way back. Don't bother trying to take them out just get back home and park on the red marker to end the mission and gain more respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Cesar Vialpando | \_/ (00027) \------------------------------------------------------o Snag yourself a set of wheels and get to the marker on the map. You'll need to get yourself a car that bounces, and that's just what you're going to get. You can control the hydraulics with num pad 2, 4, 6 and 8. Drive the car into the garage and you can customize it the way you want. When you're nice and happy with it, drive the thing out and get to the lowerider meeting. After the scene you have to participate in a little minigame. Bet something and make yourself some money. Using num pad 2, 4, 6 and 8 to bounce your hydraulics in time with the music in order to complete the mission. Some people have a lot of trouble with this kind of thing, obviously trying to explain that it's easy isn't going to help anyone. All I can tell you is to keep an eye on what you're doing, don't focus on the rating at the top, you don't have to be anywhere near perfect to complete this. When the little arrow moves through the circle press that particular direction right about when it's in the middle and you're home free. It's all you need to do to end the mission. Now you can do some racing and take part in Cesar's missions. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Doberman | \_/ (00028) \------------------------------------------------------o This mission begins at the local Ammunation which is marked by the large S on the map. It seems your job is to take out some opposing gang members, and what better place to begin that task than at a gun shop. Pick yourself up some weaponry and drive to the green icon and purple grid on the map. Get out of the car and equip your new firearm. Run around in this area and start shooting Ballas (guys with dark jackets and red/white headbands, or the guys in the purple jackets.) When you've killed three it provokes a gang war and you have to defend yourself by any means necessary. There's three main waves of attacks, the first of gang members with baseball bats, the second with handguns and the third with submachine guns. They all appear on your map so you should be able to locate and defeat them easily. Use the walls and terrain to your advantage, and also make sure you pick up the health items and body armour as those submachine guns can really hurt. After killing all of them the turf is yours and the leader is flushed out, simply shoot him down to end the mission and gain more respect. Coloured territories now appear on your map, note that you can turn them off in the map menu. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Los Sepulcros | \_/ (00029) \------------------------------------------------------o Start by recruiting some gang members for this mission, to do that hold RMB (not with a gun equipped) and target some of your buddies, press G. When you get into the car they'll get in along with you. Quickly drive to the destination marker before the time runs out, the game gives you more than you need. Jump over the wall and approach sweet. You can give commands to the gang by tapping either G or H, holding either of these will disband the gang completely. Now run into the cemetery with guns blazing, be careful of Ballas equipped with body armour. Killing enough of them nets you a couple of stars cop wanted level, and puts a blue dot on your radar showing the car you need to get into. Drive Sweet and whatever gang members you have back to the home to finish the mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Reuniting the Families | \_/ (0002A) \------------------------------------------------------o Take the gang car with all your buddies and drive it to the motel. Right after the scene you're throwing into a rather dangerous situation, there are S.W.A.T. teams all over the place, don't try and do anything here quickly run through the door beside you with the yellow arrow. Kill the first couple of guys you see in here and pay special attention to the vending machine, for a mere $1 you can replenish half your health as often as you like. Start making your way down the hall using your Shotgun to take out all the cops in your way. Each time you come to a corner be sure to be careful of guys hiding behind objects and even coming down from the roof. If you need to be able to move while firing then the submachine gun is your weapon of choice. Never ever hesitate to go back and replenish your health again, it's always better to be safe than sorry. When you get far enough into the motel you'll find Sweet in one of the rooms. Af you're trying to escape a helicopter appears and attacks, you should be able to take care of it with little effort, simply equip the SMG and fire upon the guys hanging off the side. When they drop you can safely knock the chopper out of the sky and follow sweet down the stairs. At the bottom it's not over yet, you're picked up in the car and the police begin to give chase. You're hanging out of the car with an AK-47 in your hands and its you job to destroy all the cop cars behind you. This is actually the most dangerous part of the mission, you can see your car health on the right and the cop's guns deal quite a bit of damage. Be sure to fire non-stop at the police cars behind you, don't bother focusing on the helicopter unless there aren't any cars around. When a cop car sets on fire you don't have to worry about damage or anything, the explosion won't have any effect on your car. When the other cops start to attacks on bikes take them out quickly or else they can hop onto your car and attack you directly, if this happens simply take aim and knock them off. Repeat this whole thing for as long as you can, when the gun jams you know you're home free. Enjoy the scene that follows and the mission is over, giving you well earned respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ The Green Sabre | \_/ (0002B) \------------------------------------------------------o As this mission starts you get a phone call from someone telling you to meet him, so take the car and drive to the yellow marker on the minimap. When you arrive step out of the car and get into the one waiting in the alley. Watch the scene and get ready to find yourself a vehicle. You need to get to the destination marker before the time limit runs out, time of course being represented by Sweet's health. When you arrive you'll find a war going on with numerous Ballas, before stopping on the marker run over as many of them as you can to save yourself some trouble later. Once you've stopped on the marker the real war begins. Use whatever arsenal you've got to fight off the Ballas, but it's not going to be so easy. Many more start driving up in their cars. I find that one effective way to take them out with minimal risk to you is to get in a car and drive up beside them, they'll shoot your vehicle enough to set it on fire. You'll have enough time to escape but they'll remain there like idiots and be blown up in the process. When all the Ballas are dead a scene occurs and this marks the transition to the next area of town. The first mission in this section can be found in Tenpenny's section. O============================================================================O | Big Smoke's Missions (00030) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ OG Loc | \_/ (00031) \------------------------------------------------------o It's time to go and pick up OG Loc. Get into the car and drive to the marker on your map. Now take him to the other marker and go up to the house and ring the doorbell. Look out, he's getting away! Hop onto the motorcycle and chase him down. You'll have to navigate between alleys, roads, and highways. He tends to make some pretty sharp turns at the last second so try to keep up, but avoiding just flying down the road at top speed. When you fall off the bike he'll give you a chance to get back on by stopping at a certain point, but make sure you're quick. It's very hard to avoid crashing while you're constantly trying to look at your map so it might take a couple tries just for you to get used to the route. When you reach the end a bunch of gangsters ambush you, jump off the bike then find cover. Duck down with Return / F and fire whatever gun you have to clean them up. Now all you have to do is take OG to the dot on the map and the mission is complete. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Running Dog | \_/ (00032) \------------------------------------------------------o Take Big Smoke's car and drive to the red marker. After a scene it becomes your job to take out this guy by any means necessary. Lucky for you he's just running around on foot, chase him down yourself (using a car doesn't work to well since he has a habit of just hopping back alley fences) and when you catch up just whip out the submachine gun and cap his ass. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Wrong Side of the Tracks | \_/ (00033) \------------------------------------------------------o This is what I would consider to be the first somewhat difficult mission in the game, and while it isn't particuarly hard by any means, it definitely has the potential to be frustration. Drive Smoke's car to Unity Station for your next set of instructions. After the scene hop onto the dirt bike with Smoke. What you need to do is keep up with the train and take out the four guys on top. Now you have to not only adjust your speed so you stay right beside them, but you also have to adjust your distance so that you aren't too close to the train. Being right beside the train the whole time will just lead Big Smoke to hit the train itself with every shot, the best location is on the right side of the train, and on the right side of the outer tracks. As you keep going you'll see a car in the distance, don't be too close to the front of the train when you approach it because it explodes when the train hits it. Next danger is when you approach the tunnel, watch out for the oncoming train, you should be safe if you're sticking with the right side of the tracks. In the next area you need to ride up the dirt path on the side and stay close to the edge of the cliff while Smoke fires upon the gangsters. Cross the bridge to the other side and drive down the hill in front of the train so you have the chance to get back on the right side. Now at this point the train speeds up, and around the next bend is the last chance you have to finish them off otherwise it disappears forever, so do what you can. When they're dead just drive Big Smoke back to his house to get some well earned respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Just Business | \_/ (00034) \------------------------------------------------------o The mission starts like any other, driving to a single destination, but things quickly escalate. You're automatically given and gun and have to fire on every single person you see in this room. Remain crouched the entire time, in fact you're in a really good position so all you have to do is keep holding RMB and LMB to fire, changing targets periodically each time you make a kill. Stay crouched and make your way to the back door. Outside you start in the open so find somewhere to hide quickly and fire on all the guys out here. Once they're dead, the mission has only just begun. Now with you on the back of Sweet's bike you can aim your gun and fire backward, which is good, because you're about to be chased by countless police. When the guys on motorcycles come up quickly pick off the guys standing up on the back so they can't fire at you anymore, then aim more carefully to eliminate the driver. A huge truck comes out of nowehere, you can fire on it since you're given infinite ammo but you won't be destroying it. When you come to a roadblock don't bother trying to aim at the people, simply fire on the cars beside them and create a fiery explosion. The chase continues down into a waterway with motorcycles and FBI cars coming from all directions. You can take out the drivers by aiming through the windshield. Smoke will take care of dodging all the dangers, you don't need to worry about that, the only thing you need to worry about near the end is shooting the sewer gate for him so you can drive through. It doesn't take long to lose the tail when you're out, and you get a bit more respect for doing it. O============================================================================O | Ryder's Missions (00040) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Home Invasion | \_/ (00041) \------------------------------------------------------o Head to Ryder's house beside yours in between 12:00 and 20:00 to begin the mission. Remember if you need to do a little time traveling, saving the game makes time jump forward by six hours. Get into Ryder's truck and start driving. You'll notice that you have a time limit, eight minutes, it's more than enough to complete the mission. Drive to the destination which is just on the outer road near the edge of town and get out of the car. Once you're inside the house you'll have to remain completely silent, you can judge this easily by the little noise meter you have at the side. Avoid letting it fill all the way up. The first weapon crate is in the room on the right, pick it up using Return / F. The second crate can be found at the top of the stairs, and the last one at the end of the upstairs hall. Remember to be very quiet, the gameonly really gives you a time limit to scare you into thinking you need to move fast, but really all it's going to do is scare you into accidentally being caught. Ignore the time limit unless you REALLY screwed up the drive over here, drop off three crates in the truck and drive it to the lockup. The garage opens and you can park it to end the mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Catalyst | \_/ (00042) \------------------------------------------------------o For this mission you need to get to the train first, when you arrive there are a number of gangsters to take out. Running them over is a safe and easy way to do it, but note a couple of things. First you're going to have to use this car again and the end of the mission, so try not to smash it up, and second only run over the gang members with the arrows over their heads, some people from Grove Street are fighting here too in green. Once the gang members are dead some new ones appears, once they're dead hop onto the back of the train by stepping onto the red marker. While the train is moving you've got to throw the crates down to Ryder, do this by holding RMB and aiming just above his head, now release and you should be able to throw it to him no problem. When enough crates have been caught it switches to you driving and Ryder on the back. All you have to do is get to the nearby Pay 'n Spray, then from there just drive back home and park on the red marker to end the mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Robbing Uncle Sam | \_/ (00043) \------------------------------------------------------o Take the truck to your destination. When you arrive hop out of the van (be sure you have a gun) and climb over the wall. Kill the guard near the gate and shoot the switch he's standing beside to open it. Keep firing on any other personnel here until the truck stops in front of the large door. Shoot the switch on the side of that too and take care of the people you find inside. You need to use the forklift to get six boxes out of here and load them into Ryder's truck. There's four boxes in the storehouse and two more outside just beside Ryder's truck. When all the boxes are in get into the van and start driving. Two army vehicles will be coming up behind you to chase you down, weave in and out of traffic to distract them, or try to aim your back end in their direction and press Caps Lock to have Ryder throw an explosive crate at them. Get to the back lot of the building located at the yellow dot on your map to trigger a scene and bring an end to this mission. O============================================================================O | OG's Missions (00050) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Life's a Beach | \_/ (00051) \------------------------------------------------------o This mission must be done at night, so head there anytime between 22:00 and 06:00. Find yourself a car and drive to the beach party. There's an open van there with a red marker behind it, stand on the marker and respond positively. After being asked to dance respond positively again. I really don't know what to say here, from experience and playing this game I know that a lot of people have trouble with this mission, so much trouble in fact that some get to the point where they can progress no further in the game. I know for a fact you will be reading this and thinking either how you absolutely cannot do it, or think that sounds completely ridiculous because the mission is so easy. Well I fall into the latter category to be honest, you have to get over 4000 points here and it really wasn't that hard to get over 7000 on the first try. If you don't know the keys, if you can't get the timing or you just don't have the endurance to go through the whole thing which actually goes on for quite awhile then you're going to have a problem. All I can offer are some tips, but to be honest most of it is in your hands. First of all practice enough to learn the exact timing. A perfect press is one pressed just as the arrow icon passes through and touches the left edge of the timing circle, pretty much meaning you press it exactly when he arrow is dead centre in the middle. If you're off by a little bit your timing goes from "perfect" to "good" which is just fine, you can pass this mission with nothing but good scores, you don't need a single perfect. Once you've got the timing down pretty well, DO NOT listen to the girl when she speaks, if she says you need practice or something that it doesn't necessarily mean you're doing bad at all, maybe you were off on one key. The problem is that something like that breaks your concentration, again do not listen to her, mute the volume if you have to. That last tip does conflict a bit with the next one though, the timing on the music along with the keys is quite good so don't hesitate to have the beats in the music help you with your timing, if you react better to audio cues than visual ones go for it. When you manage to complete it and successfully earn 4000 points, respond to her question positively and then get into the van after her. Now all you need to do is drive it to the lockup to earn yourself some respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Madd Dogg's Rhymes | \_/ (00052) \------------------------------------------------------o Find a car and get yourself to Madd Dogg's house, he lives in a mansion up on a hill outside in the outskirts of town. The main entrance to the house is around the back, find the yellow icon in front of the door. When you get inside you're given a knife and a tutorial on how to do a stealth kill. Crouch down and approach the guard slowly, hold RMB and press LMB when you're right behind him and you should be able to make the kill quietly. In the next room a guard is patrolling around in circles, follow him and go through the door at the upper corner. A guard starts to approach here, crouch down and hide in the shadows of one of the rooms on the left. Now continue down the hall. In the next room you need to crouch and walk past the bar, staying as close to it as you can and past the couches as well. When you come to a darkened room on your left go into it and get the body armour then out the other door, you should be able to sneak up on a guard that way but keep an eye on your minimap. Grab the Rhyme Book out of the recording studio and get the hell out of there. You should find a BMX bicycle outside the backdoor now which will provide more than adequate transportation back to the Burger Shot. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Management Issues | \_/ (00053) \------------------------------------------------------o There's a few parts to this mission, first you have to get over to the Burger Shot and steal the guy's car. When you arrive it seems he has already left, so smash into the side of the car to force him out and steal it yourself. Since you already damaged the car when you crashed into it, you'll need to get it repaired. A Pay 'n Spray is highlighted on your minimap, head there now and get the car looked at. Now from this point you must avoid crashes at all costs otherwise you'll have to drive all the way back here and get it painted again. Your destination is quite far away and you need to be there before 10 p.m., or 22:00. When you arrive parallel park the car between the other two and wait to leave. Tap the drive key to keep your speed controlled so that you neither crash into the car ahead of you, nor let the car behind you hit you from the back. You don't have to drive very far like this. When the people are in the car, everyone comes after you. Make your way to the docks, somewhere along the way you'll lose them. Now what you have to do is drive really fast toward the end of the dock and hold Return / F to bail out, don't worry, the game will give you a message when the time is right. Send the car over the edge to complete the mission and get some more respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ House Party | \_/ (00054) \------------------------------------------------------o Well you've got to change your clothes and get a haircut. The barber shop is directly across the street from the Burger Shot so you've got no problem there, just head over on foot and choose a hair style you like. Now make your way to the OG icon again on your map which just happens to be across the street from your house, making it the perfect opportunity to save your game. Head across the street to the house party, suddenly the Ballas are attacking your home turf. Fend them off with whatever weaponry you have and then pick up the submachine guns they drop so you can really stock up on ammo. After the first wave of them come another group appears on top of the bridge. Use manual targeting to pick them off one by one and make them fall. Now another group attacks from the alley beside your house, and when you aren't expecting it yet another from behind you. Your gang can take care of the ones in the alley, get yourself some cover and face behind them so you can protect your buddies here. When all the Ballas are dead the mission is complete. O============================================================================O | C.R.A.S.H. Missions (00060) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Burning Desire | \_/ (00061) \------------------------------------------------------o Find the officers in the donut shop and start the mission. You get a free cop car for this one which isn't so bad. First you've got to find the molotov cocktails so head to the destination marker on your map. When you arrive you'll find a building with five windows, you need to throw five molotov cocktails through it. Every time you throw a molotov cocktail through the window some more gang members will show up, so make sure you either have a gun or quick access to a car so you can run 'em down. To get a molotov cocktail through the window stand about six of seven steps back and hold LMB for just under a second, there are numerous different distances and strengths at which to throw, just pick one that works for you. When the house starts burning down CJ notices that a girl is trapped inside. Quick, run into the building and go upstairs to find her. It seems the door is blocked by fire, but you can find an extinguisher in the kitchen. Equip it once you have it and used it to put out the flames at the door. Now navigate back to the front door with her in tow, putting out the fires as you come to them. Make sure she's close by when you exit the house and then drive her home when you get outside. Her name is Denise and she becomes your first girlfriend in the game. Go hang out with her sometimes, otherwise you might find she loses interest. This also opens up Sweet's last mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Gray Imports | \_/ (00062) \------------------------------------------------------o Get down to the warehouse and see what is afoot. Arriving you'll be attacked by all sorts of people, use your car to make sure work of them. You can also take advantage of some of the conveniently placed explosive barrels and such with your gun. Don't forget to hop up onto the crates beside the door and grab the body armour. Now shoot the button beside the door to open up the warehouse, get ready to shoot all the people who are waiting on the other side. As the game mentions you can hold RMB and move with the left arrow / A or right arrow / D to strafe and see around corners before actually proceeding. When you notice red barrels around a corner and enemies nearby, be sure to shoot at the barrels rather than the enemies themselves. After going around the first couple of turns you'll find a full health item where the two walls meet at the corner. On the next corner you'll find some Body Armour. Make your way around to the large open area, there are plenty of explosive drums there to take advantage of. At the top of the stairs in the room are a couple of gang members and the Russian Arms Dealer you you absolutely must kill. He does however have an incredible amount of armour and life, so rather than trying to shoot him now, save your ammo and just follow him. As he runs back to where you first entered the warehouse area, run in front of him, get on the motorcycle and start causing as much damage to the car in front of your as possible. When he gets on continue to shoot and it shouldn't be long at all before the thing is ablaze, the guy is dead, and the mission is passed. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Badlands | \_/ (00063) \------------------------------------------------------o With the camera in hand you've got a little snooping to do. Find yourself a vehicle, preferably some kind of cycle and start peddling up that huge mountain to the North. You can't miss it. The path is long and winding but very serene, it takes quite a long time to actually make it to the top of the mountain, but fortunately this mission only requires you to scale only a mere fraction of it. You'll come to a cabin being guarded by some police officers, quietly sneak into the cabin without the FBI guys noticing you. You won't even need a weapon here, it's painfully easy just to punch him to death right there. Pull out the camera and snap a quick shot of the corpse, this alerts the cops and in order to avoid being shot to death run out the front door and jump onto the nearby dirt bike. Ride it down the mountain and back to where you first started the mission in order to satisfy the cops. Soon after the mission is over you'll get a cell phone call about your next mission. Head to the question mark on the radar, and the Catalina's Missions section. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Snail Trail | \_/ (00064) \------------------------------------------------------o There's a couple of men that need assassinating and you're the one who can get the job done. It takes place all the way back in Los Santos though so it's going to be a bit of a drive, do NOT use a car for this mission, it will make things much much harder. Basically what you need to do is go up to the construction site and grab the sniper rifle, after that head down to the train station where you'll find the train is just leaving. Follow it along the very long trip back to Los Santos, numerous times you'll find yourself in a tunnel with a train coming in the opposite direction which is why I recommended using a motorcycle for this mission, speed being the other reason. Arriving at the Los Santos train station the man gets off the train. Keep your distance, a little meter at the side shows how suspicious he is of being followed and if it starts to go up you need to turn around immediately. He'll call for a cab at the top and now you need to follow this cab around town still keeping your distance as much as possible. Eventually it leads to the docks, exit your vehicle and pull out the sniper rifle. When the two men are conversing fire off one shot to kill one of them, and pick off the other while he panics. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Misappropriation | \_/ (00065) \------------------------------------------------------o There's a long trip ahead of your here, find yourself a fast motorcycle to at least make it enjoyable. When you eventually get across the bridge climb up the hill on the opposite side of the road. If you have a sniper rifle this will be perfect, stay low in the bushes and aim toward the guy with the arrow over his head. A single head shot will bring him down and he'll drop the evidence case. Unfortunately one of the guards will likely pick it up quickly, but at that point you can just equip a different gun (or stick with the sniper rifle if you want) and take them all out as they run toward you. The other contingency is if you were unable to kill the guy and he makes it to the helicopter. Now you need to get into a helicopter yourself. Before doing so make sure to kill all the guards who are shooting at you because in the time it takes off they are more than capable of shooting down the helicopter you're in. Don't bother trying to attack the other chopper just follow it until it sets down, that's your chance to kill the guy and get the dossier. Whichever way you do it the mission is complete and you get no reward. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ High Noon | \_/ (00066) \------------------------------------------------------o This mission starts in that little hamlet out in the middle of nowhere. Find some vehicle and drive there for a scene. After the scene your mission becomes clear. Get in whatever vehicle you can, even if it means that un- steerable thing down near the graveyard. Chase him around and stay behind him, you can work on trying to shoot him as you go but your primary focus should be on keeping up. Eventually he'll reach a small suburb and just drive in circles forever, now's your chance to simply chase him around this area doing drive-bys or whatever it takes to destroy his car. The mission is complete after the final cutscene, no reward (besides your life of course.) O============================================================================O | Cesar Vialpando's Missions (00070) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ High Stakes, Low-Rider | \_/ (00071) \------------------------------------------------------o In order to begin this mission first you must find yourself a lowrider car which just happen to drive around quite frequently around the red marker where Cesar Vialpando is waiting (CV on your minimap.) In fact you'll likely find one in his driveway is you look. The first thing you do in the mission is follow him to the lowrider race, just keep up and you'll be fine. Position yourself at the starting line and get ready to race. The race is difficult because low-riders are notorious for sliding, if you come into contact with any cars or try to make turns while skidding at top speed you're just going to spin out. The key is to get ahead at the beginning of the race since the other drivers will be aggressive and try to spin you out, drive on the sidewalk if you have to in order to get out front at the start. Now your destinations are the red light pillars you see, they're both in front of your face and on the minimap. The most important feature however is that within them is a blue arrow that shows the direction you're going to have to turn since most of the time you can't divert your eye from the screen. When approaching a turn break hard BEFORE you actually get there so you skid while moving forward and don't spin, the take the turn at a reduced speed. This should keep you in control and far enough ahead to win the race with little difficulty, it's not too long and your reward is a nice $1000.00. Tactic: In order for the race to me a lot easier, I would suggest to use Voodoo for the race instead of Blade or Savanna that spawn frequently in Los Santos. Voodoo can sometimes be found just the road behind CJ's house and it can cut corner quite well without spinning out easily. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ King in Exile | \_/ (00072) \------------------------------------------------------o This mission isn't so much of a mission as it is a cutscene when you arrive, and since this is a spoiler free guide there's nothing really to say. Once the scene is over a familiar icon appears and it's time to head back there. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Wu Zi Mu | \_/ (00073) \------------------------------------------------------o Wu Zi Mu is another street race type of mission that takes place out in the country. The difficulty of this mission in comparison with the last one is substantial. The race will take more than twice as long, but more difficult than the time is the terrain. In fact I would barely consider this a race, because even going at a very safe and slow speed I was never able to even see the other cars behind me, the challenge comes from two places. First you need to watch out for the very hilly terrain and avoid flipping your car, second since the race is so long and bogged with nature's obstacles, you also have to avoid destroying your car. These two things can be rather difficult. Get into the front of the pack when the race begins and stay there. Understand that there are going to be large red light pillars everywhere, and while it may seem easiest at times to drive directly toward them, the dirt path you are on will always curve toward them, and driving on the path is far safer than trying to shortcut your way over a bumpy field or hill. The race takes you through numerous locations like small towns but it will mostly keep you out in the woodland area. Drive extremely carefully, especially around some of those sharp turns and bumpy roads which are really likely to flip you depending on what car you're using. I used the car just beside Catalina's cabin as it was pretty fast and easy to handle. You should do the same. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Farewell, My Love... | \_/ (00074) \------------------------------------------------------o This is another racing mission however you step into the red marker as a person and the car is automatically assigned to you, don't worry, it's a nice one. Again similar to the last mission it's good to get into first place eariler on since it's far easier to stay in first place than fight your way there. Once you've established yourself you'll need to focus on the course. There are a number of shortcuts you can take, most of them involve bumpier terrain but the payoff is worth it, take the S shaped winding road in the beginning, you can just cut across the grass and save a lot of time. A few other things to keep in mind, after you pass through the little shed area with the piled logs you'll soon be approaching a bridge, be sure to stay on the path here since any shortcuts you try to take will likely lead to a dead drop. This race isn't much different or longer than the previous one, the most difficult part about it I find is the dirt flying up into the screen as you zoom down the path. Complete the mission to get a deed for a San Fierro garage. Now get out of your car and answer you cell phone. O============================================================================O | Catalina's Missions (00080) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ First Date | \_/ (00081) \------------------------------------------------------o This is going to be quite a trip assuming you're coming here right after Badlands. It's North of Los Santos and you're nowhere near it, be sure to check your main map for the destination as the minimap can sometimes be misleading when destinations are so far away. When you arrive there's a scene and the first mission is initiated. This isn't so much a mission as a lead in to other missions. Start by heading to the nearest icon, the gas station. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Tanker Commander | \_/ (00082) \------------------------------------------------------o Arriving at the gas station hop into the tanker truck. First you have to actually get the tanker part attached, to do that simply drive in front of the nearby tanker which is marked on your map, hold Q and E or simply hold MMB to look behind you then press S to slowly reverse into place. When the tanker is attached the car starts to give chase, you need to get to your destination before the tanker is destroyed. In terms of the gunfire you're going to take this will be quite easy, just make sure the tanker section doesn't get slammed hard by anything on the road and be sure not to go around a corner too fast. Following these basic specs should get you to your destination before too long, you need to go around a little bit but just look at you map to get an idea where you're going. It's the little fenced lot just past the gas station, park your red on the red spot to net yourself a cool five grand. Following this you get a phone call and a symbol for your next mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ First Base | \_/ (00083) \------------------------------------------------------o This mission too is just a scene, an introduction to your next set of robberies. Drive West to the single lone dollar sign icon and park on top of the red marker to initiate the next mission at the liquor store. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Local Liquor Store | \_/ (00084) \------------------------------------------------------o You'll automatically be given a quadbike at the beginning of this mission to chase down the other robbers. Catalina takes care of all the shooting so all you need to do is drive, which isn't exactly easy because this quadbike thing reacts crazily to just about every bump. You'll have your hands full just trying to stay upright. Fortunately this chase goes on for an extremely long time, you can fall off over and over and still catch up to finish them off. The important thing to note is that two of them carry briefcases, you'll need to get both in order to finish the mission so if Catalina kills someone and the game tells you to pick up the briefcase, make sure you hop off and do it. As you head from little town to town they'll split up and just cruise the streets here and there. Make Catalina's job easier by ramming them as you chase them down. Once the three robbers are eliminated and the two briefcases are retrieved, get yourself a more stable ride and drive back to Catalina's cabin for a nice 1000$ reward and a couple a nice new work prospect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Gone Courting | \_/ (00085) \------------------------------------------------------o Watch the scene here and then drive to the furthest East robbery icon. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Small Town Bank | \_/ (00086) \------------------------------------------------------o Arriving at the bank you're put into a position where you have to continusuosly point your gun at all the people here in order to keep them from setting off the alarm. You can hold RMB to target and keep switching between them with the Q and E but eventually someone's going to press the alarm anyway. When this occurs shoot anyone who attacks you and make your rounds of the bank, destroying all three ATM machines. Follow Catalina out into the back alley and shoot your way through all the cops in this area, auto-target to find them as quick as possible if you are using joypad control and find them manually otherwise. Then make your way to the top where you'll find two police motorcycles. Now you have to follow Catalina out through the country and into the next little town where she is unfortunately knocked from her bike and put into a rather dangerous situation. Drive up beside her and she'll get on the back, now all you have to do is return her to your house for a huge bonus of $10,000. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Made in Heaven | \_/ (00087) \------------------------------------------------------o There's a scene here triggering your final robbery mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Against all Odds | \_/ (00088) \------------------------------------------------------o Drive to the closest and final robbery location. Here you'll be given a number of satchel charges you need to place on the door beside the counter to blow it open. Once the door is blasted throw another satchel charge into the room and use the special detonator to set it off and open the safe. This triggers a scene which eventually leads you outside and sets you up with a four star wanted level, quite possibly the most dangerous you'vee seen so far, so jump into the car you brought here and take off down the road. You destination is the Pay 'n Spray in a small nearby town, just follow the icon on your minimap that sticks out. Be very careful, while it isn't a long trip a four star wanted level will have cop cars appearing everywhere doing their absolute best to take you off the road, so drive carefully and watch out for all oncoming traffic. Arriving at the Pay 'n Spray all you need to do is drive your car in, wait a minute or so for the flashing wanted level to disappear and then drive Catalina back to her house to complete the mission. O============================================================================O | The Truth's Missions (00090) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Body Harvest | \_/ (00091) \------------------------------------------------------o After arriving and watching the scene get a vehicle and make your way toward the farm to see if you can find the combine harvester. When you arrive you'll be greeted by countless farm folk all equipped with rifles taking aim to take you down. Remain in your vehicle and drive to the back of the farm where you'll find a large field with the combine harvester going around. Make sure you understand that all these people carry very powerful rifles, each shot takes off more than a quarter of your health so four shots and you're dead. Move quickly and jump into the combine harvester. Now you'll find an exit you can use at the lower corner, drive around and/or through the people here and make your way to the destination. The easiest and safest way to get there is to make a left out of the farm and then a right onto the first dirt path. Carefully slide down the steep hill here. You run very little risk of exploding due to gunfire, the main risk once you have the harvester is flipping over, but taking your chances on this hill is better than a cliff since once the thing flips it's almost impossible to flip back. Drive it into the barn to finish the mission and earn some respect. Head to the new icon. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Are You Going to San Fierro? | \_/ (00092) \------------------------------------------------------o Head up to The Truth's farm and step onto the marker. What you need to do is within the time limit, burn all the weed before the cops show up, your given about five or six minutes to do this which is plenty of time. There's a whole lot of the stuff so keep the following tips in mind. First each time you burn a row, give it a once over look before moving on to the next one. This will save you some frustration later when you finish but you still can't continue the mission because you missed one little bit. Secondly avoid burning The Truth to death, but I guess that's a given. Lastly there are a couple effective ways to get everything real fast. First what you can do is go to one end of a patch, aim your flamethrower down at the base and hold LMB. Just keep burning as you strafe either left or right across the field. Another effective way is to stand in the middle of a row between two patches of the stuff, hold LMB and spin around to burn it on all sides. Whatever you do, it'll tell you to go and meet The Truth when finished. Now he gives you a rocket launcher and your new task becomes to shoot the helicopter out of the sky. You've got one chance at an easy shot quickly before the car drives off and the helicopter chases it. No big deal if you miss, simply de-equip the launcher and run to the other fence where the car stopped. You should be able to safely shoot down the helicopter now, just make sure you do it from a distance because there's a good chance it'll fall on your head. The final task is to get into the van and drive to your new garage in San Fierro. There's no cops or anything after you but it's a long trip in a not-so-sturdy car so take your sweet time getting there, you don't want to flip over and do the entire mission again. Respect is your reward. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Don Peyote | \_/ (00093) \------------------------------------------------------o When the mission begins it's your job to go and find the two English guys who are far far away and lost in the desert. Grab yourself a motorcycle or something so you can cut across the desert and make the trip significantly shorter. As you approach the mountain don't start driving up with the motorcycle, there are two guys up there who need a lift and the cycle only seats one. Unfortunately there aren't any four door sedans that drive around here either so your best bet is one of those box shaped trucks, people are perfectly jumping into the back of those. It's a bit of an ordeal going up the path leading to the top of the mountain but it's doable. When you arrive watch the scene and get the guys in the truck. Now you have to drive over to the snake farm nearby, do so, watch the scene, and get ready to start blasting. There's only four enemies who don't put up much of a fight at all, in fact you really don't even need to kill them. Find yourself a nice four door car that moves a little bit faster than a stupid trucks and drive back to the casino on the map to trigger a brand new set of mission, and some respect. O============================================================================O | CJ's Missions (000A0) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Wear Flowers in Your Hair | \_/ (000A1) \------------------------------------------------------o Time to make your first rounds of San Fierro. Get in the car and drive over to the East side where you'll find a gas station and the red marker to park on. Press Caps Lock once you're on it to alert the guy working there. Your next destination is the hospital on the opposite side of town. Next place you want to check is just up the street from here, same deal with the car horn as the garage. From here it's down to check out the police station, and then over to the electronics shop to pick up ZERO. Now that you've seen the sights and taken in the fresh air, return home to complete the mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ 555 We Tip | \_/ (000A2) \------------------------------------------------------o Find yourself a car and get over to the Vank Hoff Hotel. It's not too far from here, on the Northeast side of town. When you arrive you need to follow the valet who will be driving the car to the parking garage. Follow him down there and fun him over a few times until he no longer draws breath. Now you can grab his uniform (and his money!) Return to the area where the valets are standing and wait for the D.A. to arrive. He's driving a dark blue Merit car, the game will give your a quick view of it before it arrives. You job is to identify the car and get to it before the other valet guys do. It gives you three minutes to drive your car to the garage and then back again, it's not a lot but as long as you drive in the middle of the road, preferably on the street car track (watch out for streetcars) then you should be able to do it with even a minute remaining. Don't let the car get smashed up or you're screwed though. When you arrive back again park the car down in the underground parking lot and return to where the valets are standing. There you'll find a red marker, simply step into it to complete the mission. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Deconstruction | \_/ (000A3) \------------------------------------------------------o The construction site is right next door, run up the hill and grab yourself a bulldozer. You will find one parked beside a portable, but don't get that one. Soon after arriving a construction worker will appear in a bulldozer to chase you down and he'll become really obnoxious while you're trying to do your thing so jack his bulldozer instead, he won't bother jumping into the other one. There are six portables scattered around this area, many of them have red barrels next to them. Avoid hitting these barrels as they will indeed explode in your face. Use your minimap to located the six portables and break them by crashing the bulldozer, you really don't have to be going very fast. Once all the portables are destroyed you can drive over to the porta potty marked on and with an arrow on the screen, and push it into the large hole ahead. Now all you need to do is grab one of the cement trucks and park it right on the red marker with the back facing the hole to trigger a scene and end the mission. Answer you cell phone to unlock Driving School. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Photo Opportunity | \_/ (000A4) \------------------------------------------------------o Your first destination here is quite far away. Get yourself a fast vehicle like a motorcycle and drive all the way around to reach the blue marker where Cesar is waiting for you beside his car. Hop in and begin the drive down to Angel Pine, another very long trip and you must avoid destroying the car. Don't worry too much if you happen to screw up, while the trip reamins long this mission does feature the trip skip option if you've already done it. Well anyway you'll eventually end up at the location in angel pine. Ascend the stairs and stop on the red marker on the roof. Now with the camera in your inventory you need to wait and take pictures of the faces of all the people who appear here, there are going to be four in total. The first two appear one after another in the little alley direction in front of you. Once you've got them move your focus to in front of the restaurant on your right where two more people will appear. It's not very hard to do at all if you know where they're going to be, just make sure you know to zoom in and out using the mouse wheel. Completing this mission will net you three things, respect, a camera, and a rather long journey back to the garage. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Ice Cold Killa | \_/ (000A5) \------------------------------------------------------o Start by driving over to Jizzy's club, but when you try to visit him the bouncers won't let you through the door. No problem, just start making your way up the nearby scaffold up to the top of the building. From here you can jump down and land beside the skylight, use this to get inside the club. Head across the upper area and down all the staircases until you reach the bottom, don't worry about conflicts you shouldn't have any trouble here. There's a scene when you reach the main room and then Jizzy tries to escape. Get out of the club and find a car to start chasing him down. You can try and blow him up drive-by style is you've got the weapon but I find it much easier to corner his car and just drag him out of the driver's seat. Killing him is very easy at this point and you can pick up the phone right away. Make the call once you've got the phone and a nice $12,000 and some additional respect are yours. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Pier 69 | \_/ (000A6) \------------------------------------------------------o Start by climbing up onto the roof of this building, there's an opening on the side leading to a staircase, it's not hard to find. On top you'll find Cesar, your mission is to use your sniper rifle to pick off the six guys on the roof with the arrows above their heads. You'll find three of them on the right side and three of them on the left side. When they're capped drop down to the road (use the staircase) and start sniping the gang members who run out of there. When you think you've taken out enough of them go up and collect their weapons, you're going to need as much uzi ammo as possible, try not to waste it when fighting other enemies here. Keep killing the gang members as you make your way to the back where you'll be able to find an kill your target. It's easy to snipe him from the upper walkway on the left side. After killing him you get one new final target who jumps over the edge. Jump over as well and swim toward the boat. Now the chase begins, you won't be in any danger yourself, the only real danger is running out of ammo. Drive up beside him and use drive-by techniques to blast his boat. You'll get a cool $15,000 dollars for this and a not-so-cool five star wanted level back on land. I have tried it on PC version, there is no 5 star wanted level after this mission __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Toreno's Last Flight | \_/ (000A7) \------------------------------------------------------o Grab yourself a vehicle and head over to the mark on your map. There's you'll find a little fight going on, try to run over as many gang members as you can before getting out of your car to minimize damage. Climb up the stairs on the right side and watch the scene. Now you need to go up onto the roof and get the rocket launcher however doing so is very dangerous. Stand on the stairs and take out the two guys on top before grabbing the launcher. Drop down and climb onto the motorcycle conveniently waiting for you on the road. Now you need to follow the chopper over the highway. The chopper will fly low the whole time, drive your motorcycle a fair distance ahead of it and get off. Equip the rocket launcher and take aim. It's difficult to hit the chopper but you should be able to get off a few good shots before it passes overhead, just resist the temptation to fire upon it when it's directly above you. Continue to try and try again to hit the chopper with the launcher until you finally manage to do so and net yourself $18,000 and some more respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Yay Ka-Boom-Boom | \_/ (000A8) \------------------------------------------------------o First off get yourself to the bomb shop North of here. You'll automatically be given a car equipped with a bomb. From here you need to make your way down to the factory building. There's two guys standing out front you need to kill, simply run over them. When the gates open and you're attacked get out of the car and fight, you don't want to risk destroying the bomb car. Now drive it to the marker on the map and ride up the ramp into the building. Drive it around the corner and get out again, there are quite a few enemies in here too. Once you've finally taken out everyone in the area park the car on the red marker and press the Tab key to activate the bomb. A few guys ambush the building, you're given lots of time and can get out easily even without sprinting so make sure you don't just mad dash, you're likely going to get yourself killed that way. Instead pick off the guys as you escape. Run to the main gate, killing everyone as you go, but you'll find it closes on you. Your final challenge is to drive the car they brought in around to the back and up the giant ramp. You don't need too much speed, just a reasonable amount and the cutscene will do the rest. Simply drive the car back to your garage to complete the mission and get a nice $25,000 and respect. You've also finally opened up the bridge leading over to the final continent. Get out of your car and answer your cell phone to bring it all together. O============================================================================O | Jizzy's Missions (000B0) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Jizzy | \_/ (000B1) \------------------------------------------------------o You need to head to the club which is located under the bridge. It's marked as sort of a light blue face icon on your minimap. When you arrive you'll find a red marker at the front door, step on it to go inside. Your first mission is to drive the fine young woman in your passenger seat over to the hotel. There you will get your next set of instructions. It's time to drive down to Hashbury and get your hands a little dirty. There's a guy you'll find with an arrow above his head, simply park your car on top of him to finish that up. The next call sends you halfway across town to a couple of thugs under the highway who are beating up on one of his hos. Run them down as well and be sure to take their guns before anything else happens. Your final job and most difficult on takes you back to the hotel where you started out. Arriving there you'll find two cars, a large SUV and a limo. You need to destroy both of these in order to complete the mission, fortunately you should have picked up the uzi from the two guys so you'll have a means of shooting while driving beside them. Destroy the black escort vehicle first then pull up beside the limo and shoot it or drive it off the road or do whatever you feel like doing. Accomplishing this completes the mission for you. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ T-Bone Mendez | \_/ (000B2) \------------------------------------------------------o Find yourself a car and drive to the location marked on the minimap. Here you will find a bunch of guys on motorcycles jacking the goods from the truck, you're automatically assigned a motorcycle and it becomes your job to get the four packages back. The four motorcyclist thieves will split up and drive around the city, focus on them one at a time and chase them down. You can use an uzi to shoot them from their bikes and grab the package if you want, but if you don't have one it doesn't matter because it's just as easy to drive up behind them and press the LCtrl key to steal it from them. Chase down all four of them and use LCtrl to steal the package back. If you don't kill them they will chase after you but considering the speed you'll probably be going they'll have quite a hard time keeping up. After collecting the final package return to the club under the bridge for a nice $5000 and some respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Mike Toreno | \_/ (000B3) \------------------------------------------------------o You've got six minutes to find this guy before it's too late, and only a small description of what to go on. After the conversation is over they decide that the best chance they have is the construction site, you should know where that is since it's right next to Carl's garage so drive there now. When you arrive new information comes up and your next destination is the dock. Upon arrival there things change once again, your third (and final) try leads you to the airport. Drive there and stop when you reach the large wide open air field. There's a special signal device used to locate the van, it's in a random location each time so I can't tell you exactly where it is, but using the signal device it should not take you more than thirty seconds to locate. When you do drive up beside it so the people in your car can get a good shot, this makes everyone jump out of the van and run after you. Just squish them with your car and be ABSOLUTELY sure to take a second to hop out and grab a gun if you don't have one already. The reason for this becomes clear in a moment, you need to destroy the van and while the other two guys will shoot at it they deal zero damage. You need to destroy it yourself, since you can get into it you'll need a gun. Shoot it in the gas tank just above the rear tire to blow it up, then get into the limo. When leaving the airport you're stuck with a three star wanted level, get to the Pay 'n Spray near your garage and then from there return to the club for a well earned $7000 and some respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Outrider | \_/ (000B4) \------------------------------------------------------o In order to begin this mission you have to return to CJ's garage and step on the red marker. Find yourself a vehicle and take it down to the gas station near the docks. After the scene drive up to where you'll find a dirt bike along with a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle. Grab everything and jump onto the bike. Your task is to take out the four roadblocks before the van reaches them, you'll find them at the red marker. Arriving there pull out your rocket launcher and aim it toward the cars, blowing them up should take care of most of the people around them as well. try to pick up the uzis that they drop too since you may need them. For the next couple roadblocks you will not only have to destroy everything on the ground, but use either the uzi or that sniper rifle you picked up in order to eliminate the people in the windows. Doing this a total of four times is all you need to do, drive along with the van for the rest of the trip but there shouldn't be any complications, a three start wanted level is tacked on along with the $9000 dollars you get for beating this mission, but just go find a Pay 'n Spray. O============================================================================O | Woozie's Missions (000C0) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Mountain Cloud Boys | \_/ (000C1) \------------------------------------------------------o Drive over to Woozie's place and get him to come with you. Your destination is just around the block. Arriving there stay close to Woozie as you both make your way down the alley. Once you reach the end a scene will occur and you'll be attacked by a bunch of gang members. Hopefully you've got some weapons in your inventory otherwise you'll have to rely on picking up theirs after they die. The first four shouldn't be a problem, just make sure you don't accidentally blow up their vehicle when either you or Woozie is near it. The next group comes in on bikes, take them out and then fight all the others off around the corner. If you still have the sniper rifle from previous missions it works great to take out the sniper on the roof as well as any gang members at a significant distance. Hop into the car and now fight your way past the two gang cars here. Woozie will be able to take them out fine but you may want to help anyway if you've got some extra uzi ammo. They're rather persistent so even when on fire they'll still be chasing after you, this is the most dangerous part. Make sure you get away as quickly as possible once they are ablaze. Set off back to Woozie's place for $5000 and respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Ran Fa Li | \_/ (000C2) \------------------------------------------------------o Your job is to head on down to the airport and make a pick-up. You can't get into the actual main airport part anymore but if you go around the side you will be able to get access to the parking garage. Someone in this humongous area there's a car waiting to be picked up. Step into it and get ready for an ambush. Most of the exits are blocked off when you try and drive up to them, the best escape is just down the main centre path driving out the entrance road, a couple of guys will attack but no cars will block your path. Outside it's quite easy to get past the cars blocking the road. The most dangerous part comes right when you escape, two motorcycles will appear and start firing on your, do whatever you can to get them off your tail otherwise you'll start taking some serious damage, drive them off the road, shoot them through the window, anything. The rest of the trip is pretty uneventful with the exception of a couple cars that don't move too quickly anyway, just avoid crashing too much and they shouldn't be able to catch up. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Lure | \_/ (000C3) \------------------------------------------------------o This is just a simple driving mission, but that's simple in terms of "it's all you have to do" and certainly not in terms of being easy, because despite that fact this mission is rather difficult. The first part isn't bad but it's quite a trip, get into the large vehicle and drive it down to the Southern tip in Angel Pine. Upon arriving there you'll find a red marker and a couple of dirt bikes will start to chase after you. At this point it becomes similar to one of the street races except you've got people trying to kill you. Not only do you have to avoid flipping the vehicle over on this rough terrain but you must also avoid being damaged too much. If you doors are damaged it becomes possible for the pursuers to realize you're just a decoy and in such a case you fail. It's hard to get ahead at the start but gradually as long as you aren't going at a snail's pace you should find it easier and easier to stay ahead of the bikes. There's aren't as many checkpoints here but they are much further apart so the actual distance you need to travel resembles that of a race, just avoid doing anything dangerous. Stay on the path as much as possible, and don't hesitate to slow down if it means remaining upright. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Amphibious Assault | \_/ (000C4) \------------------------------------------------------o Before you start this mission you must get your lung capacity up, not too high, but about a quarter of the way or so in order to actually be allowed to begin. When you've managed to accomplish this simply by spending as much time as possible swimming underwater, return to Woozie's and begin the mission. It has you driving up to the docks and getting into the water. What you need to do is get to the large boat without being taken down by the many patrol ships. The beginning is just sort of a familiarization with swimming, it will have you going under and through a couple of tunnels and equipping you with a knife/ Once you reach the open water start swimming toward the boat. If you are spotted immediately dive underwater and keep swimming like that to force them to forget about you. At that point you can surface again and remain stationary for some time while catching your breath. Afterward it's time to get moving again. Access to the boat is found around the back, jump up and climb the stairs. Using your knife approach the men on the boat from behind and perform a stealth kill. Your destination is located down the stairs at the front of the ship. You will find a red marker, stand on it and press Return / F. Now all you need to do is jump off the boat and swim back to the red marker on the shore to collect your $11,000 and some respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ The Da Nang Thang | \_/ (000C5) \------------------------------------------------------o You'll automatically be put in the position of gunner for a helicopter trip to the boat. Your job is to take out as many people as you can from the boat while airborne, this is extremely difficult because the people are just so small and so far away. There's no set goal you have to reach, anyone you are able to take out now will just simplify things later. Eventually it comes to the point where you must board the boat manually. Get on and sneak up behind the nearest guy, stealth kill him and take his shotgun. Now you can get the next person up top, pick up the uzi and use this as your primary weapon. Make your way from crate to crate as you progress along the ship. There are numerous little nooks, make sure you check out all of them. When you hop up onto the second large area of crates you can find a full health item near the start. Eventually you'll come to a point with a large opening in the floor, drop down and watch the scene. Take out anyone you find at the bottom. Before proceeding down jump up onto the crate on the right side and you will find a secret stash including uzi ammo and the very important body armour. With this you can blast your way along to the end where you'll find your target, a man who does not hesitate to throw a grenade at you. When you hear him yell out turn around and run in the other direction. After his grenade explodes he'll charge at you and will be very easy to kill. There's a large crate holding the refugees at the back, shoot the lock to open it up. Your job however is not done yet, you still need to clear out the bridge. Make your way there firing upon any enemies that block your path until you eventually square off against their leader. He throws you a sword and you can initiate a very violent sword fight to the death, or you can quickly whip out that shotgun you picked up and end the battle in a single hit, your choice. Now all you need to do is go out and meet the refugees at the mark on your minimap, this ends the mission and rewards you $15,000. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Fender Ketchup | \_/ (000C6) \------------------------------------------------------o It's another of the classic "scare the crap out of the guy by driving like a maniac" missions. Your goal is to get his sacre-o-meter up to max so that he talks and there's a few good ways of doing it. There's no time limit in this mission, you fail by crashing into something at high speed and accidentally killing the guy. Ironic and not-coincedental that in order to scare him you must travel at high speeds. The game gives you a number of tips on how to scare him, drive really fast, drive against traffic, do handbrake turns and do insane stunts. Insane stunts are dangerous and likely to flip your car, despite how adamant the game is about you performing them you don't need to in order to complete this mission. Simply work on the bar gradually by driving down the opposite lane of traffic at high speeds, under no circumstance should your find yourself hitting a car head on, do whatever you can to avoid that whether it be handbrake turns or whatever. Eventually you'll manage to fill the bar up and the guy starts talking. Take him back to the casino. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Explosive Situation | \_/ (000C7) \------------------------------------------------------o Find yourself a vehicle and drive down to the quarry. There you'll find some dynamite but unfortunately it's rigged to blow already, you've got two and a half minutes to get down there and steal it. But first you will need a heavy object. That heavy object comes in the form of the dump truck you can find down at the bottom, get on whatever vehicle you used to get in here and drive it over the edge so you can fall to the bottom quickly without taking a lot of damage. Get into the truck and use it to run over the crates, then get out and grab the dynamite you find inside. Do this in a counterclockwise fashion, the last one you come to is actually on a moving forklift but just crash into it to reveal the dynamite. Now once this is completed the quarry is surrounded by security. Your only escape is a nearby dirt bike marked on your map. You'll have to complete a set of challenging maneuvers to get out of here though. Follow the markers on your map to get up the ramps and jump from place to place. Eventually they'll get you out of the quarry and you can quickly ride to the nearby drop point to end the mission and get your money. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ You've Had Your Chips | \_/ (000C8) \------------------------------------------------------o This is an extremely frustrating mission, bring body armour if you can find some because it will really help. Drive down to the location marker. It says to try and get in silently, you'll find a large opening on the side wall but instead of approaching the entrance to the factory from the front instead sneak around behind the large coloured crates. You'll find a chainsaw on the other side. Now before going into the building take aim with any gun and fire at the gas tank of the car out front, it'll save you having to kill a ocuple guys later. Now approach the factory and watch the scene when you enter. Immediately run left and kill the guy in front of you, then the one standing on top of the shelf. You'll find a guy on your right as well when you pass all the shelves. Now get yourself into a safe position. If you have a sniper rifle make good use of it here, pick off all the guys on the upper catwalk as well as everyone standing on the other side of the building. If not you'll still have to do all these things, but with an uzi instead. Now (at least to me) here's why this is one of the most frustrating missions ever. You could have some guy sneak up on you from out of nowhere, when you turn and press auto-target him suddenly like an idiot you'll target one of those plastics machines instead and find yourself shot to death. Try to avoid this two ways, one is not to have someone sneak up on you, and the other is to use a weapon with no auto target like the sniper rifle or use any other weapon and aim with the right analog stick. When all the bad guys are taken care of pull out some weapon (shotgun works great) and destroy all ten plastics machines. This triggers another attack so find a corner and take out all the guys here. Slowly make your way toward the door via the back wall of the factory (this is very important, you don't want to expose yourself at the door, go to the back where you can see through it but still be at a distance.) There's a very dangerous man on the crates outside, it's very easy to snipe him from the back without even being noticed but you'll have to put yourself in a bit more danger with another gun. Remember that even if you're too far away to auto target with the uzi or something you can still hit those enemies from a distance you just need to aim manually. After clearing everyone out get into the car they drove into here and return to the casino with a two start wanted level. Park the car to end the mission and get $10,000 and some respect. __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Fish in a Barrel | \_/ (000C9) \------------------------------------------------------o All you need to do is sit back and watch the signing of the papers. O============================================================================O | ???'s Missions (000D0) | O============================================================================O __ / TA: San Andreas /-------------------------------------------------------o | _ --------o-------\ Monster | \_/ (000D1) \------------------------------------------------------o Yet another familiarization mission, this will send you all around the area and get you used to the terrain, but it won't make it a simple sightseeing trip. You need to drive a huge monster truck through a total of thirty-five checkpoints, you can keep track of your progress using the little icon at the bottom. Since the monster truck has such bouncy shocks you'll find it isn't exactly the most stable of vehicles so the entire time you're going to have to resist the urge to blaze through it and just take it slow. Never let yourself get up to top speed, be patient, and you'll probably be able to do it on your first tr
