Introduction/Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi everyone! My name is Mark Tennis and I am 19 years old from Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I'm writing this walkthrough in hopes of helping people in getting 100% in this game. This, in my opinion, is the best of all of the games in the Grand Theft Auto series. It will probably take me an incredibly long time to finish this walkthrough, but I will really enjoy making it. Also, I will try to make this walkthrough as SPOILER-FREE as possible. I will try to keep this walkthrough short and sweet when it comes to how to do certain things (control-wise), as the game itself provides tutorials along the way. Hopefully, you have played Vice City or GTAIII, because this game feels much like the previous GTA's. I want to thank Rockstar Games for making such a great game and I want to thank BradyGames for making an EXTREMELY helpful guide. I urge anybody to go out and buy the strategy guide for this as the maps are a HUGE help as well as some of the strategies.

Also, I am writing this walkthrough for anybody who wants to get 100% in this game. If you just want to go through the story missions, then this is not the guide for you. Here is the basic layout, for each section, I will label differently. For main story line missions, those will be outlined using * For example, ****************************************************************************** Mission #1 -- BLA ****************************************************************************** For Odd Job missions (side-quests that contribute to 100% as well as give you some rewards), those will be outlined using + There are also additional fun things to do such as a basketball game that do not contribute to 100%. These will be in their own seperate section, not in the walkthrough. So, without further ado, lets go onto the walkthrough.... ****************************************************************************** Beginning Mission #1 -- The Beginning ****************************************************************************** After watching the opening scenes, you will start off in an alleyway with a BMX bike in front of you. Walk over to it and hit the Triangle button to get on. To go forward on the bike, either hold the X button or tap it repeatedly (for quicker boost). Your objective is to reach the "CJ" Icon on the radar. Along the way, some tips will appear in the upper left (always look out for these pop ups in the upper left throughout the game) on how to ride the bike. This is an easy mission designed to get you used to the controls and the feel of the game. Once you reach the "CJ" Icon, hit the Triangle button to jump off of the bike and walk into the red glowing area in front of the house (your house). Doing this will automatically trigger the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Beginning Mission #2 -- Sweet & Kendl ****************************************************************************** After viewing some more scenes, you will be facing a bike. Get on the bike and follow Sweet (has a blue arrow over his head and is a blue dot on the radar) to the Mulholland Intersection. Be cautious as a group of gangsters are following you in a Voodoo. Try avoiding it as much as possible, or maybe lead them into an obstacle. Either way, when you get to the Mulholland Intersection, part two of this mission will begin. Now you will have to follow Ryder (again, with a blue arrow over his head) through some alleyways and through a skate park all the way back to your house. When you get there, just go into the red marker to finish the mission. =========================== Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 0.53% =========================== Now you can enter your house and save your game. You can also play an arcade game at Carl's TV. Upstairs, you can find a camera and a changing room (to change Carl's outfits). Also, at this time you can do some of the driving side-quests, such as taxi missions. This is a good way to earn some money and get familiar with the city. Also, you will receive a cell phone call from Sweet (Press L1 to answer cell phone when it rings). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Vehicle Mission #1 -- Taxi Driver ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The taxi cab missions in this game are much like the ones in other GTA games. A tip meter is introduced in this game and will drop as time goes on during a fare and as your cab takes damage. Don't worry if the tip meter drops to zero though, as the passenger will not flee, you can still drop he/she off and earn money for rattling off 5, 10, 15, etc in a row. To start this mission, just find a taxi cab (either a Taxi or Cabbie) and get in. They are pretty common and can be easily found after a few minutes (more or less) of driving around. Once in, press the R3 button to begin. To complete this mission, you must drop off 50 fares successfully (it doesn't have to be 50 in a row). ================================================ Reward: Nitro boosts on all Cabbie's and Taxi's Percentage Complete: 1.07% ================================================ After the mission, your fat and muscle stats should be all the way down, don't worry about that, you can build them back up a little later. After completing this mission, go back to your house in Ganton and save. Now get ready for the next vehicle mission. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Vehicle Mission #2 -- Paramedic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Paramedic mission is done in an Ambulance. This mission is just like the Paramedic mission in previous GTA's. Again, this is another good way to get some money and get familiar with the city. To start the mission, get into an ambulance and hit R3. You can find an ambulance at any of the three hospitals in Los Santos. You can also kill a few people to get one to show up. As you increase in level, more patients will need to be picked up, thus you need to plan your route out in the later levels. To pass this mission, you must complete Level 12, if you fail you will have to start over at Level 1 again. I recommend using the All Saints Hospital in Market (just west of Downtown Los Santos). If an ambulance is not out front, run some people over to get one to show up. ^^^ Tip sent in by Reverend420: It makes it easier if you punch the doors off your ambulance beforehand, I noticed that it saves some time for the patients to get in. I personally didn't need to do this, but if you are struggling to pass this mission, give it a try. ======================================= Reward: Raises Maximum Health to 150. Percentage Complete: 1.60% ======================================= Again, head back to your house and save. Time to do the next driving mission (only 2 more to go, for now). ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Vehicle Mission #3 -- Firefighter ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Firefighter mission is done in a Fire Truck. Like the Paramedic mission, this is just like the Firefighter missions in other GTA's. To start the mission, get into a fire truck and press R3. You can find a fire truck at a fire station (the one I know of is in Commerce, just northeast of the freeway interchange, not Mulholland Intersection, but the intersection southwest of Glen Park) or try starting a fire (can be done by exploding cars -- beat a car up until it explodes). Like the paramedic mission, the higher the level, the more cars and people you have to put out. To operate the hose, press Circle to shoot water and use the right analog stick to aim. To complete the mission, you must complete Level 12. If you fail, you have to start over at Level 1 again. =============================== Reward: Become Fireproof Percentage Complete: 2.14% =============================== Head back to your house and save. One more vehicle mission to go (for now)! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Vehicle Mission #4 -- Pimping ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This mission is new to the GTA series and you need a Broadway to do this mission. A Broadway can usually be found around Unity Station (just steal one from anybody) in North El Corona (near Little Mexico). It is a 2 door convertible, they are pretty easy to spot, they look like a Hermes from Vice City (and hear, they sound somewhat like a Cheetah in Vice City). This is similar to the Taxi missions except that you are only transporting two people, your prostitutes. Its basically, pick up one, drop her off, pick up the other and drop her off. After dropping a girl off, there will not be a time limit to pick the other one up. So if your car gets beaten up, you can take it to the Pay N' Spray during that time. Sometimes the customer and your girl starts fighting. When you reach the scene, get out of you car and physically hit him. DO NOT KILL HIM. To complete this mission, you must successfully complete Level 10 (10 full transactions). ============================================================================ Reward: When you pick up a prostitute on the road, she pays you instead of you pay her. Percentage Complete: 2.67% ============================================================================ Again, head back to your house and save. There is an asset mission that you can complete at this time. This is the first of three Courier missions. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Courier Mission #1 -- Roboi's Food Mart, Los Santos ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Courier missions work like the Pizza Boy mission in Vice CIty. You will drive/bike a two wheel vehicle and throw packages through a red ring. There are four stages in each Courier mission and as you move up in stages, the locations spread out. In the first three stages, the time limit is five minutes (these are pretty easy). In the last stage, you will be given eight minutes to deliver six packages to locations scattered around ALL of Los Santos. If you miss a ring, you can ride over the package that you threw and pick it back up. The first Courier mission is located at Roboi's Food Mart in Commerce. From the south end of the police station, head west on the road (past town hall) past a street on the left (south), the Food Mart is tucked away on the south side of the road. Jump on the BMX bike that is sitting outside to automatically begin the mission. ************* ***Stage 1*** ************* You will be given three minutes to deliver three packages that are all nearby. You shouldn't have any problems with this, just take it slow and make sure your throws are accurate. ************* ***Stage 2*** ************* You will be given five minutes to deliver four packages. Again, these are all fairly close locations and shouldn't be too difficult to complete. ************* ***Stage 3*** ************* You will be given five minutes to deliver five packages. There are a bit further apart than in the last stage, but again, you should have plenty of time to complete this stage. ************* ***Stage 4*** ************* This is by far the toughest of the stages. You will be given eight minutes to deliver six packages that are scattared throughout all of Los Santos. Get the one in Temple, then Vinewood. Now go to the two on the beach (one at the boardwalk and one at the lighthouse) and use the main road (two lanes on both sides), then the freeway that runs to the south of Los Santos to get to the next one in Playa Del Seville. Finally, get the one in East Beach, then use the freeway running through the center of Los Santos to get back to the starting point. To complete the mission, successfully complete Stage 4. If you fail, you will have to begin again at Stage 1. =========================================================================== Reward: Roboi's Food Mart becomes an asset and generates $2,000 a day, stop by each day to pick up the money. Percentage Complete: 3.21% =========================================================================== By doing the vehicle missions, you should have built up your Driving Skills by now, enough to enter the stadium anyway (I think your Driving Skills have to be at least 20%). This is the next Odd Job to do. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stadium Mission #1 -- 8-Track ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This mission is located at the Los Santos Forum. It is the stadium on the southeast side of town. Just walk into the red marker outside of the stadium to begin. For those who played Vice City, this is similar to the Hot Ring race. Basically, it is a race around a track shaped like an 8. To complete this mission, you must win first place. This is a tough mission that could take quite a few tries. The key is to avoid damage as much as possible. Also, let go of the accelerator as you enter turns, then accelerate as you exit each turn. This should make it easier to control. =================================================================== Reward: $10,000 prize, the Monster and Hotring Racer appear on the Northwest corner of the stadium from now on. Percentage Complete: 3.74% =================================================================== At this point, you should have acquired quite a bit of money (if you did the vehicle missions). I have over $150,000 because I did 50 in a row in the taxi driver mission. If you didn't get 50 in a row, you should have around $100,000 or so. With this money, you can buy some safehouses around Los Santos. They vary in price and some have garages. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Safehouse Purchasing (1 and 2) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Buying safehouses in this game contribute to 100%, so you want to buy all of them if you want to reach 100%. It is good to buy a safehouse that is not located anywhere near another safehouse (for convenience, if you are out and about and are looking for a quick way to save rather then drive all the way back over to Ganton). For now, I will direct you to two safehouses in Los Santos that are convenient for location and have garages. Safehouse #1: This is located in Santa Maria Beach. It is just west of the pier and is located along the road that goes along the beach. You will see a small house icon rotating around the front of the property. To buy the property, step into the icon and hit L1. This property costs $30,000 and it has a garage. So now we have a safe house in Eastern (Ganton) and Western (Santa Maria Beach), lets buy one in central Los Santos. Some people like the safehouse in Jefferson because it located closer to the Off Track Betting place (a quick, and IMO cheap, way to earn lots of money), but I prefer a different one in central Los Santos. Safehouse #2: This one is located in El Corona at the end of a cul-de-sac. This is east of Verdant Bluffs, just north of the airport and just south of Unity Station. This place costs $10,000 and it has a garage. =========================== Percentage Complete: 4.81% =========================== That's it for the side missions for right now. The Vigilante Mission can be done at this time, but I will wait until later in this walkthrough to cover that mission. The BMX Bike mission is also open and you should have a cycling skill of around 50% if you did the Courier mission. Again, I will wait until a little later to cover this mission as it will be easier with 75%+ Cycling skill (you can get a bike and build your skill if you want, then you can do the mission now if you choose to). Now save your game and head back to Carl's house in Ganton. Next door you will see a red marker in front of your neighbors (Ryder) house (Shown as the "R" on the radar). Enter it to begin the next story mission. ****************************************************************************** Beginning Mission #3 -- Ryder ****************************************************************************** After viewing the scene, you will have a car in front of you with a blue arrow over it. Enter the car and drive over to the Barber Shop (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Park the car in the red marker in front of the shop and enter the building. Walk over to the red marker and you will sit in the chair. Select one of the hairstyles and hit X to preview it. If you want it, press X again to purchase it. The different hair styles will raise your respect and sex appeal stats to different levels, depending on which one you selected. Of the different styles, the cornrow is the one that will get you the most (it is also the most expensive). After picking a hair style, hit the Triangle button to exit the chair. Ryder will comment on your new haircut and you will get a new objective. Run across the street to the pizza place and enter it. Once inside, step into the red marker to order a meal. The larger the meal, the more fat you will gain (except with the salad meal in which he doesn't gain any fat). Also, eating a meal will replenish your energy if you have gotten hungry or gotten injured. Use the right/left directions button to choose a meal and hit X to buy it. Hit the Triangle button to exit and you will see another scene. Run back across the street and enter Ryder's car. Quickly escape and head back to Ryder's house (you can also run over the pizza boy) and drive into the red marker to finish this mission. =========================== Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 5.35% =========================== After the mission, run back into your house and save. Then head back out and a few houses down is where your next story mission is. This is denoted as the "S" on your map and radar. You will see a red marker out in front of the house. Enter it to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #1 -- Tagging Up Turf ****************************************************************************** After the scene, get into the car in front of you and drive over to the side of a bridge in Idlewood (the yellow dot on the radar). Once there, park in the red marker and Sweet will get out and spray paint the Grove Street tag over the other gang's purple tag (this also happens to be the beginning of the next odd job, which I will cover in the next section). Afterwards, Sweet will tell you to spray over two other tags in the neighborhood. These are the blue markers on your radar. One is right across the street. Walk over to it, hold R1 to aim at hit and hit Circle to spray. The second tag is in the alleyway behind the house with the first tage on it. Go over to it and spray that one too, then return back and get in Sweet's car. Now drive over to the next yellow dot (in East Los Santos) and stop in the red marker there. Sweet runs off, leaving you to spray three more tags in the area. The first is on the side of the building with the wall mural. The second is around back of the building (to the north). There are two gangsters standing in front of it. Either ignore them and spray anyway, or spray them both in the face and they will eventually die. The third and final tag is a little trickier to get to then the others. Run over to the yellow dot on the radar and enter the red marker. Press Square to climb the fence. Then go forward and climb another fence. Turn to the left, see that platform? Climb it and then climb up to the roof. Run around to the right and go to the north side of the wall to find the last tag. Spray over it and then jump off of the roof and enter Sweet's car. Now drive back to Ganton (follow the yellow dot on the radar) and drive into the red marker outside Sweet's house to complete this mission. =========================== Rewards: $200, Respect+ Percentage Complete: 5.88% =========================== Afterwards, you should receieve cell phone call from Officer Hernandez. Head back into your house and save your game. Note that a spray can is now located inside your house, upstairs across from the changing room. You will use this in the next Odd Job, the first collection mission, the Los Santos Gang Tags. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Collection Mission #1 -- Los Santos Gang Tags ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the last story mission, you sprayed 6 tags. Well, there are 94 more of these tags, scattered throughout Los Santos. I will do my best to direct you to each and every one of these. I will cover them in the numbered order of how they are in the BradyGames Strategy Guide. We have so far gotten #1,2,3,4,5 and 20. If you run out of spray paint, die, or get arrested, you can always return back to your house for another spray can (NOTE: It only appears in your house in Ganton, not any of your other safe houses). With each tag you spray, you earn more respect. <<< Location #6: East Los Santos - About a block west of the Northeast corner of Los Santos. This tag is located on the side of some stairs that is located along the north side of a straight street (the one south of the northernmost street in the city). <<< Location #7: Las Colinas - Along the northernmost street, just north of Location 6 and a little east. This tag is on the side of a yellow house on the south side of the street. It is actually the second house to the south (along the road heading to the south), on the south side of the house. <<< Location #8: Las Colinas - Follow the northernmost road to where it ends to the east. This tag is located at the front of the building (facing the ocean) on the Southwest corner of the intersection. <<< Location #9: East Beach - Follow the easternmost road south along the beach, just to the south of Location 8. This tag is located on the north side of a building, right beside the easternmost road. <<< Location #10: East Beach - Follow the road south some more from Location 9 until you reach a pedestrian overpass. Turn right into the parking lot, then make a quick left in the parking lot and you will see the next tag on a wall, next to a garage. <<< Location #11: East Beach - Head back out to the road and turn left (north).

Make sure you grab a Tec-9 and AK-47 from your kitchen and head back to the red marker in front of Sweet's house to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #6 -- Sweet's Girl ****************************************************************************** After the scenes, go get a car (either from your garage or steal a car from someone on the street) and drive towards Playa Del Seville, south of the stadium (red dot on the radar). !!!NOTE!!! If you want to recruit some fellow gang members for this mission, walk up to one and target him by pressing and holding R1. While holding R1, hit Up on the D-Pad to recruit him. Gang members will follow you around and attack any rival gang members as well as people that you attack. Once you reach your destination, you should see Seville gang members. Do a drive-by and try to take out as many of them as you can. They will probably destroy your car, so hop out when it catches on fire and take out the rest of the Seville gang members while on foot with your AK-47. After all of the Seville gang members are dead, Sweet will call you and ask you to pick him up. Hop into a 4-door car (you can either steal one from somebody or get the Greenwood parked on the west side of the road, just north of where the red marker is) and drive it into the red marker to pick up Sweet and his girlfriend. Now head back to Sweet's house in Ganton (yellow dot on the radar). Watch out for the Seville gang, who will pursue you in their cars. Either dodge them, or try to do a drive-by on them. When you reach your neighborhood, drive into the red marker to complete this mission. =========================== Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 9.63% =========================== Afterwards, save your game if you want and head back to Sweet's house for another mission. Again, go into the red marker outside of his house to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #7 -- Cesar Vialpando ****************************************************************************** After the scene, get into a car and head over to Willowfield (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Head into the red marker to enter the garage. The mechanic will give you a low rider. Now back the car into the garage and you will be able to modify your car. This is the Loco Low Company and it is the first Mod Garage in this game. There are a variety of things to do to your car, from getting a custom paint job to installing NOS. Refer to the Loco Low Company Mod Shop section in the Odd Job section of this walkthrough for a complete list on what you can do here. For now, you don't need anything extra to finish this mission, so exit the shop whenever you are done. Now drive over to Unity Station in El Corona (the yellow dot on the radar) and head into the red marker to start the competition. You will now have to make a wager on the competition, the minimum being $50, the maximum being $1000. When the competition starts, look at the bottom of the screen for a circle. A bunch of arrow icons will scroll through the circle in a random order. Push the RIGHT analog stick in the direction of the arrow as it passes through the circle. You will get points for each based on how well you do on each arrow. This isn't too hard, I beat it on my first try and even made quite a few mistakes. To complete the mission, just beat your opponents' score. A scene will play afterwards. ======================================== Reward: Double the amount of your wager Percentage Complete: 10.16% ======================================== Loco Low Company will now appear on the radar as a wrench icon. Head there after obtaining a lowrider to modify it. A new side mission is now available upon completion of this mission, so head back and save if you want, then go find a lowrider (or use the Savanna that you used in the competition) to get ready for the next mission. Also, you will receive a phone call from Cesar (hit L1 to answer the phone) and a new mission location will open up, indicated by "CV" on the radar. Transfenders also opens up (in Temple, near Vinewood), refer to the Transfenders section in the Odd Jobs section of the walkthrough for more information. Make sure you have a lowrider. If you need one, go to the house next door to Cesar's (next to the "CV" icon) to find a Blade. Be sure to stop by Loco Low's to give it some Nitrous, you're gonna need it on the next mission. You can buy some other things there, but they will only change the appearance of your vehicle. When you are ready, (I suggest saving the game with your modified vehicle in your garage down the street from Cesar's, in case you fail the next mission) go to the "CV" location on the radar and drive into the red marker to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Cesar Mission #1 -- High Stakes, Low-Rider ****************************************************************************** After the scene, follow Cesar (indicated on the radar by a blue dot, also has a blue arrow over his car) into Verdant Bluffs and head into the red marker to begin the race. You will now race through a series of checkpoints that leads up to Vinewood and finishes at the Santa Maria pier. Try to keep an eye on the radar for the next checkpoint location. Use your nitrous (L1) on straightaway's to gain an advantage over your opponents. Also, be careful while turning, as lowriders tend to love to fishtail. Keep you lowrider low to the ground (L3 to change whether it is raised or lowered) for better handling. To complete this mission, finish the race in first place. It isn't too difficult to win this race, you should win it on your first couple of tries. ============================ Reward: $1000 Percentage Complete: 10.70% ============================ Afterwards, drive back to your savehouse in Ganton and save your game. Now it is time to begin a new series of missions. Head next door to Ryder's house (the "R" on the map) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. !!!NOTE!!! This is a night mission. You can only begin this mission between the hours of Noon and 8 PM (12:00 to 20:00). ****************************************************************************** Ryder Mission #1 -- Home Invasion ****************************************************************************** After the scene, you will be in a Boxville. Ryder will accompany you on this mission. !!!NOTE!!! You will have eight minutes to complete this mission (the countdown clock is at the upper right of the screen). Drive over to the Colonel's house in East Beach (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and enter the red marker. Go into the house (where the yellow arrow is). Once inside, note the noise meter underneath the timer. Once it fills up, the Colonel will wake up and you will get a two star wanted level (and the Colonel will shoot at you with a shotgun), so be sure to not fill up the meter. The best way to sneak around is by crouching (L3) and then using the left analog to move around (tap lightly to move quietly). Now you must steal at least three crates of guns (additional crates are optional!). The first is located to the right of where you enter (by the wall near the cannon), it is indicated by a green arrow. Go over to it and hit Triangle to pick it up, then take it back outside. Load it into the Boxville by hitting the Triangle button again. Go back inside the house. The next crate is in the room opposite the stairs (to the right from where you enter) in the back left corner near the cabinets. Again, pick it up and take it back outside to the Boxville. The next crate is located at the top of the stairs. Repeat the same process as the first two. Another crate is also located upstairs in the hallway and there is another one in the Colonel's room (only try for this one if you are feeling lucky enough). Make sure you are outside of the house when the timer expires and get back into the Boxville. Now head to the lockup building (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar, there is no time limit) in Playa Del Seville and pull into the red marker. Now park the Boxville in the garage to complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 11.23% ============================ With the completion of this mission, you will have unlocked the Burglar Odd Job. !!!NOTE!!! In the Strategy Guide, it lists this as a required mission, but when I did it, it did NOT raise my percentage at all, this is why I put it in the Non Required Odd Jobs section. Now, save your game at your savehouse in Ganton and grab some weapons from your kitchen. Head next door to Ryder's house and enter the marker out in front of his house (the "R" on the radar) to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Ryder Mission #2 -- Catalyst ****************************************************************************** Ryder will join you on this mission. After the scene, get into the Picador and drive over to where the train has stopped in Las Colinas (the yellow dot on the radar). Kill all four of the gang members around by either running them over or using the weapon of your choice. Then kill the four gang members in the car that just pulled up. Hop onto the train (by going into the red marker). Now you must throw some boxes to Ryder from the moving train. Aim using the left analog and throw using the Circle button. There are enough crates on the train, so don't worry if you miss. You must throw 10 crates to Ryder to continue this mission. Try aiming above Ryder to get him to catch it. This isn't too hard, you should get the hang of it after a couple of throws. To put some power on it, press and hold L1, then release it to throw. After Ryder has 10 crates, you will get back in the Picador and have a Three Star wanted level! Go quickly to the nearest pay-n-spray (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) to get rid of the stars. Now drive back to Ganton (the yellow dot on the radar) and enter the red marker to complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 11.76% ============================ Head back to your savehouse in Ganton and save your game. Be sure to grab weapons from your kitchen (especially Molotov Cocktails) before starting the next mission. When you are ready, head next door and enter the red marker outside of Ryder's house (the "R" on the radar) to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Ryder Mission #3 -- Robbing Uncle Sam ****************************************************************************** After the scene, get into the Mule (truck) parked out front and drive over to the Ocean Docks (indicated by the yellow dot). Pull into the red marker once there and a scene will play. Approach the wall and throw a Molotov Cocktail over the right side of gate where the jeep went into (you can see a guard standing there). If any other guard comes after you, throw another Molotov Cocktail to take care of him. Once the guards have been taken out, hop the wall and shoot the switch next to the gate (manually aim) to open it. Follow alongside Ryder and shoot any guards that you see along the way (there shouldn't be more then two). Approach the building that Ryder is parked outside of and shoot the keypad to the right of the door to open it (again manually aim). Kill the two guards upon entering the warehouse. Get on the forklift and drive up to one of the boxes on the floor in front of you. Like the game says, get underneath one of the boxes and hold up on the RIGHT analog to lift the box. Now carry it over to the van and load it onto the van (make sure that the box is raised high enough to make it into the back of the van). After loading each box, a couple of guards will show up. Kill them, then get back into the forklift and get the next box. If you hear Ryder shooting, then help him out by killing the guard he is shooting at. Load the other three boxes that are on the ground, then get two more boxes on the ground outside of the warehouse (to the north of the van). If you are having trouble, try anticipating when the guards will come out (about every minute or so, one shows up). Try getting a box onto the forklift, wait for a guard and kill him. Then load that box onto the van, wait for a guard and kill. Repeat this process and this mission will be a breeze. After getting six boxes, get into the Mule and head back to Emmet's place in Willowfield (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Along the way, you will be pursued by the National Guard in Patriots. Hit the L3 button and Ryder will toss a box full of explosives out the back and hit whatever is behind you. So wait until a Patriot is behind you and let them have it! To complete this mission, head into the red marker at Emmet's place. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 12.30% ============================ Head back to your safehouse in Ganton and save your game. Now it is time to do another story mission. Head to where the only available mission is (Big Smoke's House in Idlewood, indicated by the "BS" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin. ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke Mission #1 -- OG Loc ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke and Sweet join you on this mission, as well as OG Loc a little bit into the mission. After the scene, drive over to the Police Station in Pershing Square (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and drive into the red marker out in front of the station. After the scene, drive all the way to Freddy's house in East Los Santos (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker here. After the next scene, follow OG up the stairs to the house and walk into the red marker. After another scene, you will have to pursue Freddy on a motorcycle. Don't worry about killing Freddy while on the bike, instead, concentrate on staying on Freddy's tail. Freddy takes the same path every time, so if you are having trouble with this mission, learning the route will make it a little easier. Keep following him until he stops (back in East Los Santos). Take Freddy out as well as the other gang members (should be easy if you have an AK-47 or Tec-9) on the stairs. Afterwards, get into a car (or on a bike and make sure OG is with you) and head over to the Burger Shot in Marina (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Pull into the red marker to complete the mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 12.83% ============================ By completing this mission, a new mission location will open up at the Burger Shot you ended the mission at. This is the OG Loc set of missions (the "OG" icon on the radar). For now though, head back to your safehouse in Ganton and save your game. Grab the Tec-9 from your kitchen. When you are ready, go back to Big Smoke's house (the "BS" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke Mission #2 -- Running Dog ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke will join you on this mission. After the scene, get in the Glendale and head over to East Los Santos (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Pull into the red marker. After the scenes, sprint after the Vagos (the red dot on the radar). When you get close to him, use the Tec-9 to shoot him (since you can shoot it while running). Kill him to complete this mission (easy huh?). ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 13.37% ============================ Afterwards, head back to your safehouse in Ganton and save your game, there is a tough mission coming up. When you are ready, head back to Big Smoke's house (the "BS" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke Mission #3 -- Wrong Side of the Tracks ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke will accompany you on this mission. After the scene, drive over to Unity Station (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and into the red marker. After the scene, get onto the Sanchez (make sure Big Smoke gets on as well) and follow the train east. Once you catch up to it, pull up on the right side of the train and when you pull up alongside of the Mexicans, Big Smoke will shoot at them. Keep your distance from the front of the train in case there are any cars on the tracks (to avoid the explosion). This happened to me after the first bend, I'm not sure if its in the same spot each time. If there is an oncoming train, just go to the right of that to avoid getting hit (Big Smoke will yell out if there is one coming). I was able to kill all three Mexicans before getting to Fisher's Lagoon, but if you happen to reach there, at one point Big Smoke will tell you to take the high road when exiting the tunnel, so go ahead and take it (it is to the right). If you don't kill the Mexicans by the time the train gets to the highway you will fail the mission and have to start over. Just drive steady and hope that Big Smoke has a straight enough shot to kill them. After killing all of them, drive all the way back to Big Smoke's house (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). I recommend backtracking on the railroad tracks (that would be the fastest route). Drive into the red marker at Big Smoke's house to complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 13.90% ============================ Afterwards, head back to your safehouse in Ganton and save your game. There is another tough mission coming up, be sure to grab some weapons from your kitchen, namely the AK-47 and Tec-9. When you are ready, head back to Big Smoke's house (the "BS" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin Big Smoke's Final Mission. ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke Mission #4 -- Just Business ****************************************************************************** Big Smoke will accompany you on this mission. After the scene, drive to Commerce (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and enter the red marker. Now you will be smack dab in the middle of a shootout! Just keep low and use auto-aim to blast away anybody and everybody that shoots at you. The objective is to keep Big Smoke alive while killing everyone else. Note that these enemies will drop MP5's, so pick one up since it is better then your Tec-9. Just continue killing everybody inside and Big Smoke will head outside when everybody is dead, so follow him out (be sure to grab the Body Armor on the lower level if you need it). Switch to your AK-47 when outside and kill everybody out here. After killing everyone, you and Big Smoke will hop onto a bike. Now you will have no control over the steering of the bike (Big Smoke will) and you must keep the bike health bar from reaching zero. Use the Right Analog Stick to control where you aim and shoot using the Circle button. Shoot at all of the other motorcycles (aim for gas tanks or tires to make it easier). When you reach the roadblock, shoot at the gas tank on the middle car to clear the roadblock, then take out the two men to the left of the roadblock (next to the car). As you go through the flood control, take out any motorcycles and cars that pursue you (don't worry about the truck that comes along). More motorcycles will come after you after leaving the flood control. Just keep shooting anybody that comes after you and eventually you will come to a stop at East Beach. This will complete the mission. *Phew* ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 14.44% ============================ That's it for Big Smoke's missions. Head over to your safehouse near the pier in Santa Maria Beach and save your game (this safehouse is closest to the next mission). When you are ready, head over to the Burger Shot in Marina (the "OG" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker around back to begin the next mission. NOTE: You can only begin this mission between the hours of 10:00 pm and 6:00 am (22:00 to 06:00). ****************************************************************************** OG Loc Mission #1 -- Life's a Beach ****************************************************************************** After the scene, steal a car and drive over to the beach party at Santa Maria Beach (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Be sure not to hit anybody or you will fail the mission. Walk into the red marker to continue the mission. During the conversation, hit right on the D-Pad both times the DJ asks you a question and you will enter a dancing competition. This works much like the Lowrider Competition that was in the "Cesar Vialpando" mission except you will be hitting buttons instead of moving the joystick. Just like with the Lowrider competition, hit the buttons along with the beat. To continue the mission, score 4000 points or more. Afterwards, respond positively (right on the D-Pad) and then enter the van. Drive away (ditching the DJ, everyone will shoot at you) and head over to a storage garage in Commerce (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Pull into the red marker in front of the garage to complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 14.97% ============================ After the mission, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save your game. Then head back over to the Burger Shot in Marina (the "OG" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** OG Loc Mission #2 -- Madd Dogg's Rhymes ****************************************************************************** After the scene, head over to Madd Dogg's mansion in Mulholland (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Head over to the back door and walk into the yellow marker to enter the mansion. Now you will be introduced to stealth. Sneak up behind the first guard and hold R1 to target him, then get close to him and press the Circle button to do a stealth kill. Go down the hallway to enter the pool area. Notice the guards movements and sneak behind him and perform another stealth kill. Its easier to hide in the dark corner to the left and wait for him to pass you to kill him. Or just go the right and around the pool and eventually get behind the guard. Head through the next door and another guard will approach. Go into first doorway to the left (where it is dark) to hideout and wait for the guard to pass by, then perform another stealth kill. Continue up and through the hallway, then through the door to the left. Continue down the hallway and you will reach a room with a bar. Crouch (L3) and walk across the bar to keep out of the bartenders line of sight. Then continue crouching through the next room with the TV (you can perform a stealth kill on the guard on the couch if you want). Continue through the next hallway (around two bends to the right), grab some body armor from the room on the left if you need it and continue through the room with the body armor (there is a painting on the wall opposite the doorway). Look to the right to see another guard facing the other direction. Sneak up behind him and perform another stealth kill. Now grab the rhyme book in the next room. Head back into the room with the body armor and you will see another guard in the other doorway facing the opposite direction. Perform a stealth kill on him and grab his Silenced 9mm. Continue through the hallway and shoot the guard that is standing in the next doorway (you are going out the same way you came in). Kill the guy on the couch and the bartender (if you didn't before, or crouch again and sneak past them). Then kill the next guy around the corner and the guy in the pool room using the Silenced 9mm. Then exit through the door you used to get into the mansion. Now head back to the Burger Shot in Marina (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). You can take the Mountain Bike that is in front of you, or you can steal a car and drive there. In any case, enter the red marker to complete the mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 15.51% ============================ Afterwards, you will receive a call from Officer Tenpenny (hit L1 to answer the phone) and a new mission location will be opened up, the "C.R.A.S.H." mission location (indicated by the "C" on the radar) at the donut shop in Market. For now, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save your game, there are more missions to do for OG Loc. When you are ready, head over to the Burger Shot in Marina (the "OG" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** OG Loc Mission #3 -- Management Issues ****************************************************************************** After the scene, get in the car and drive over to Madd Dogg's managers' driver (indicated by the red dot on the radar, should be near the Burger Shot in Temple). Once you find the driver, ram into the car and cause enough damage for him to get out of the car and start shooting at you. Run him over and kill him (or get out and shoot him), then steal his car. Take it over to the pay-n-spray in Temple to get the car fixed. !!!NOTE!!!: You have until 10 pm (22:00) to get the drivers' car over to the pickup spot, otherwise you will fail this mission. Once the car is fixed, drive over to the pickup spot a few blocks away (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Make sure not to hit anything on the way there or you will have to return to the pay-n-spray. Once you reach the location, make sure to park in the same direction as the other cars and do not hit them. Park in the red marker to continue the mission. After the sequence, you must stay in between the other two cars as you head towards the awards show (a couple of block away, straight ahead). Once you get there, another scene will play. Afterwards, head over to the Verona Beach pier (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) while dodging the pursuing cars along the way. Once you reach the pier, drive full speed towards the end of the pier and when you are just about to reach the end, bail out of the car (Triangle button). Kill the four guys that came out of the car behind you, then either take their car or take the BMX Bike nearby and head back to the other end of the pier. If any of the security vehicles are still pursuing you, take them out as well (they will be the red dots on the radar). Once all of them are dead, you will complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 16.04% ============================ Afterwards, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save your game if you want to, then head back to the Burger Shot in Marina (the "OG" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin the last of OG Loc's missions. I suggest having weapons for this next mission, so either head back to Carl's house in Ganton to pick some up or check the Weapon Locations section of this walkthrough for other weapon locations. Also, Body Armor may not be a bad idea, so be sure to get some (check the Armor Locations section of this walkthrough for locations). ****************************************************************************** OG Loc Mission #4 -- House Party ****************************************************************************** After the scene, head over to the Barber Shop across the street and get a new haircut (for a list of how much respect/sex appeal you will recieve, check out the Barbers section of this walkthrough, in Non-Required Odd Jobs) if you need it (it isn't required). Next, if you need/want new clothes, head over to the ProLaps in Rodeo (check out the Clothing Stores section of this walkthrough for a complete list of what you can buy). When you are ready, head over to the house party at OG's house in Ganton (indicated by the "OG" icon on the radar). You have until 5 am (05:00) to get there. Once there, head into the red marker to continue this mission. After the scenes, you will be put into another wild gunfight. Use whatever weapons you have to take down all of the rival gang members. The first wave consists of eight ballas. Feel free to use cars as cover and just fire away! After the first wave has been defeated, four more appear on the bridge above you. Again, use whatever weapons you have to take them out. Afterwards, you will have to deal with a total of twelve more Ballas. Most of them come from the alleyway. Just keep running and gunning until all of them are dead. Hopefully, you got Body Armor beforehand, because that really helps in this mission. When all of the Ballas are dead, a scene will play and the mission will be completed. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 16.58% ============================ After the mission, save your game at your safehouse nearby in Ganton. Now, it's time to take a short break from the story missions and do another Odd Job (this could have been done since the beginning of the game). If you have a Cycling skill of about 75% or more (pause the game and look at Stats --> Player to see what % your Cycling stat is at), you should be able to complete the next Odd Job pretty easily. If not, find a bike and just move around with it to gain skill. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BMX Challenge ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To begin this Odd Job, head over to the skate park that is south of Glen Park (the park itself) and west of the Hospital in Jefferson. Head to the northeast section of the skate park and hop on the BMX Bike that is located near a half-pipe to begin this mission. Now you must collect 19 checkpoints scattered throughout the skate park (in any order). You start with 10 seconds with an additional 10 seconds added each time you get a checkpoints. Some are located above your head, use a bunny hop (hold, then release L1) to collect those. My advice is to collect the ones on the ground first before getting the tougher ones that are in the air. Having a high Cycling skill will really help here, as the higher the skill level, the higher you can bunny hop. To complete this mission, collect all 19 checkpoints before time runs out. ============================ Reward: None Percentage Complete: 17.11% ============================ Afterwards, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save your game. Now, it's time to get back to the story missions. When you are ready, head over to the Donut Shop in Market (the "C" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** C.R.A.S.H. Mission #1 -- Burning Desire ****************************************************************************** After the scene, head over to Downtown Los Santos (indicated by the green dot/arrow on the radar). Once there, grab the Molotov Cocktails in the alleyway. Now drive over to a gang house in East Los Santos (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Once there, kill some of the gang members hanging around outside. Now you must toss a Molotov Cocktail through five different windows (each indicated by a red dot on the radar) that each have a red arrow above them. Hopefully you did the firetruck mission so that you are fireproof and not vulernable to taking any damage while doing this. If not, toss the Molotov's from a distance so that you don't suffer any damage. If you run out of Molotov's, more will appear nearby (just go to the green dot on the radar). Once you have done that, you must save the girl inside of the house. Run around to the front door (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and enter the building. Once inside, run all the way to the back (and left), then go up the stairs. Run up to the last door on the left and a scene will play. Now head back downstairs and into the kitchen (left from the bottom of the stairs). Grab the fire extinguisher and head back to the girl's room. Use the fire extinguisher on the flame in the doorway and approach the woman to trigger another scene. Head into the room across the hall. Use the fire extinguisher to put put the flames in the doorway in the next room and continue through. Head into the hallway and put of the flames here, then continue downstairs. Put out the flames in the doorway to the left (leading to the kitchen), then continue through the next room and hallway (basically heading straight), putting out one more set of flames and finally exit the building through the front door (make sure the girl is behind you). After the scene, get into a car (making sure the girl is with you) and drive the girl to her house in Ganton (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Drive into the red marker in front of her house to complete this mission. ======================================= Reward: Denise becomes your Girlfriend Percentage Complete: 17.65% ======================================= Afterwards, you will recieve a phone call from Sweet (Hit L1 to answer the phone). This will unlock the second set of Sweet's missions (the "S" icon on the radar, at the Ammu-Nation in Market). Also, completing this mission unlocks the Girlfriends Odd Job. Denise is now your girlfriend, so you can take her out on a date (as well as a few other girls). See the Girlfriends section of the Non-Required Odd Jobs section for a full explanation on this Odd Job (you can get 100% with Denise now). For now, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save your game. Pick up some weapons if you need some and some Body Armor as well (refer to the Locations section of this walkthrough). This should become a regular habit. When you are ready, head back to the donut shop in Market (the "C" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** C.R.A.S.H. Mission #2 -- Gray Imports ****************************************************************************** After the scene, head over to the Ocean Docks (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker. Head a little bit south from there to the railroad tracks. Go into the building on the west side of the road. You can find body armor in one of the boxcars in here. Head out the west side of the building and turn to the right. Take out the guard near the garage with a gun (preferrably the AK-47) and then any other guards who come after you. Go towards the yellow dot on the radar (notice more body armor to the right (east) of the dot. Shoot the keypad that is just left of the garage door to open the door. Take out the three guards in here and head into the building. Keep following the path, taking out guards along the way. There is a health icon behind some boxes in the far north part of the building, if you need it. In the open area, there are seven more guys to kill (three up above). After killing everyone, go up the stairs (killing anyone left) and enter the room straight ahead. One of the Russians will run off. Follow him through the complex and eventually (if you don't kill him by then) he will get into a Banshee and drive into the flood control area. Hop on the PCJ-600 (motorcycle) nearby and chase him through the flood control area. Get behind him and keep shooting with either a Tec-9 or MP5 (the enemies in this mission have them, just pick one up after killing them) until the car explodes. Killing the Russian will complete this mission. ============================ Reward: None Percentage Complete: 18.18% ============================ After the mission, head back to your safehouse either in El Corona or Santa Maria Beach and save your game. As usual, make sure you have body armor and weapons (check the Locations section of this walkthrough), then head over to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown Los Santos (the "S" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #8 -- Doberman ****************************************************************************** This mission provides and introduction into gang wars (which is covered in the Odd Jobs section of this walkthrough). If you need a weapon, head into the Ammu-Nation to buy some (or check out the Weapons section in the Locations section of this walkthrough). Here is a list of what you can buy inside (walk into the red marker in front of the counter): ***************** ***Ammu-Nation*** ***************** Item Price ==== ===== 9mm $200 Silenced 9mm $600 Tec-9 $300 Micro SMG $500 Shotgun $600 Sawn-Off Shotgun $800 Grenades $300 Body Armor $200 SMG $2000 When you are ready, head over to Glen Park (the purple box on the map, the green man icon on the radar). Once you enter the area, you have to start a gang war. To do this, run around (you have to be on foot for this to work) and kill any rival gang member that you see. After killing three, a gang war will begin (it will say "you have provoked a gang war"). If you happen to get a wanted level, head to the bridge in the north part of the park and you should see a police bribe under the bridge. Now, in order to win the territory, you must kill three waves of rival gang members. Keep you eyes peeled for health and armor icons that will appear in alleyways and streets. The rival gang members will be dots on the radar. They get tougher and more in number as you go through the waves. If you are struggling, look for areas to take cover, such as backyards or fences. Some of these guys also drop a lot of money, so be sure to pick all of it up. For the first wave, I faced 4 guys with baseball bats (took them out easily). For the second wave, I faced 4 guys with pistols and for the third, I faced 4 guys with Tec-9's. Getting Body Armor beforehand really helped out (I ended up with full health at the end because of the body armor). After the third wave is dead, the territory belongs to you (the Grove Street Families). You will then get an on-screen explanation of gang warfare. Afterwards, a gang member will run out of a house (indicated by the red dot on the radar). Chase after him and kill him (and anyone else who shoots at you) to complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 18.72% ============================ Afterwards, note that the "S" icon on the radar has moved back to Sweet's house in Ganton and that colored boxes appear all over the radar. These are part of the Gang Wars, check out the Non-Required Odd Jobs section for more details. This is a good way to make money. Carl's house in Ganton is now an asset and will generate money daily (check in front of the garage) based upon how many territories you control. You also earn respect for taking territories. Before moving on to the next mission, your respect has to be up to about 10%, so take over some territories if you need the respect. Now would be a good time to purchase the rest of the safehouses in Los Santos (if you haven't already). If you need money, there are plenty of ways to obtain it. You could do more taxi missions, take over territories and collect the money in front of Carl's house, collect money from Roboi's Food Mart or you could bet on the horses at the Inside Track Betting place in Downtown Los Santos. When you have at least $150,000 you will have enough to purchase the rest of the safehouses in Los Santos. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Safehouse Purchasing (3,4,5 and 6) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Safehouse #3: This house is located just southeast of Emmet's place in Willowfield (also directly west from Loco Low's Mod Shop). It's a pretty crummy house and doesn't even have a garage, but it does count towards 100% completion of the game, so we gotta buy it. It costs $10,000. Safehouse #4: This house is located in Jefferson, a little bit to the southeast of Glen Park and south of the SubUrban (Clothing Store) in Jefferson. It costs another $10,000 and has no garage. Safehouse #5: This house is located in Mulholland, north of the Vinewood sign. It costs $120,000 and has a garage. Safehouse #6: This apartment is located in Verona Beach, just east of the Burger Shot where the OG Loc missions began. It costs $10,000 and has no garage. Well, that's all of the safehouses in Los Santos for now. ============================ Percentage Complete: 20.86% ============================ Now, we are ready to continue the main story missions. Head back to your safehouse in Ganton and save your game. Make sure you have at least about 10% Respect (hit L1 to check) before continuing. Pick up some weapons and body armor (refer to the Locations section of this walkthrough) if you need them and when you are ready, head over to Sweet's house (indicated by the "S" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. !!!NOTE!!! You can only begin this mission between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm (09:00 and 17:00). ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #9 -- Los Sepulcros ****************************************************************************** After the scene, recruit the two gang members standing nearby (with blue arrows over their heads). To recruit them, approach the gang member and target him by pressing and holding R1. While targeting him, hit Up (or Down) on the D-Pad to recruit him. He will now follow you around and shoot at your enemies. After recruiting them, hop into the Greenwood and drive over to the cemetary in Vinewood (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). You have a time limit of 4 minutes to get there. This is plenty of time, so take your time and try to minimize the number of cars you hit along the way. Once there, pull into the red marker to continue this mission. Hop over the wall and approach Sweet to trigger a conversation. After the scene, start heading across the cemetary (hit Up on the D-Pad to get your gang members to follow you) and gun down any Ballas that get in your way. Head towards Kane (indicated by the red dot on the radar, and a red arrow over his head) and kill him to trigger the next part of this mission. Now kill the remaining Ballas (red dots on the radar and red arrows above their heads) and get into the Admiral that Sweet got (indicated by the blue dot on the radar). Head to the pay-n-spray that is northeast of the cemetary to get rid of the two star wanted level, then go back to Sweet's house (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker to complete this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 21.39% ============================ Save at your safehouse in Ganton if you want, then head back to Sweet's house and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #10 -- Reuniting the Families ****************************************************************************** After the scene, get into the Greenwood and drive over to the Jefferson Hotel (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker out front. After the scene, head inside of the hotel (the yellow dot on the radar and there is a yellow arrow in front of the door on the ground level). You can shoot some cops outside before heading in, but it isn't necessary. You need to go in the hotel to continue the mission. Once inside, head up the stairs to the left and CJ will talk to the gang member. Continue up the stairs and along the walkway to the next room, taking out SWAT members along the way. Go through the hallway (kill another SWAT member) and turn the corner. You will see three SWAT members in front of you. Kill all of them, then continue through the hallway. Once you reach the end of the hallway, two more SWAT members will drop down through the ceiling (to the left). Kill them, then head up the stairs to the left to pick up some body armor (if you need it). Then head back down the stairs and continue down the next hallway. Kill more SWAT members here, then continue on. Continue down to the end and kill more SWAT members in here and down the next hallway as well. You should be near the blue dot on the radar (Sweet) now. Head towards it, you will find him in the second room on the right in this hallway (watch out for a couple more SWAT members). Approach him to trigger a sequence and the next part to this mission. After the scenes, shoot and kill the four guys up in the helicopter (just aim and shoot), then shoot at the helicopter until it goes down. Now you must follow Sweet (indicated by the blue dot on the radar) down the stairs to trigger another scene. Now you will be in a car with Big Smoke driving. You must shoot at all of the cop cars that pursue you. Just keep shooting at any police car that you see, use the left analog to rotate your view and use the Circle button to shoot (this is similar to Big Smoke's "Just Business" mission). Eventually, police motorcycles will join the pursuit, just deal with them like you did in Big Smoke's "Just Business" mission. Soon after, you will reach a roadblock. Carl will run out of ammo here (you have finished the mission at this point), so there is nothing you can do except kick back and watch the exciting finale to this mission. After the scenes, you will have completed this mission. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 21.93% ============================ Head back to Carl's house in Ganton to save your game, then pick up some weapons and body armor if you need it (refer to the Locations section of this walkthrough). When you are ready, head over to Sweet's house (indicated by the "S" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the final mission in Los Santos (for now, anyway). ****************************************************************************** Sweet Mission #11 -- The Green Sabre ****************************************************************************** After the scenes, head over to meet Cesar in Verdant Bluffs under the freeway (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker once there. Get out of the car and run into the nearby alleyway. Enter the Bravura (has a blue arrow over it) to meet with Cesar. After the scene, get into a car and head over to the Mulholland Intersection (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) as fast as you can. Note Sweet's health bar in the upper right. If that depletes, you will fail this mission. Once there, drive into the red marker to trigger a scene. Now kill all of the Ballas in the area (they are indicated by red dots on the radar) and more will pull up in a van. Kill them as well as blow up the car with Ballas in it (doing a drive-by). Once they are all dead, another sequence will play and this mission will be complete. ============================ Reward: Respect+ Percentage Complete: 22.46% ============================ After the scenes, you will wind up in Angel Pine with just a Camera. This now ends the Los Santos section of this walkthrough and you will now have a large area to explore. You are also free to head back to Los Santos if you want. Head over to the trailer park in Angel Pine (indicated by the "C" icon on the radar) and you will find a save disk outside. Save your game, then enter the red marker nearby to begin the first mission in the Badlands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IV.

Mission #3 -- Badlands ****************************************************************************** Head towards where the witness is (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). As you go along, the game provides you with a short tutorial (read the boxes that appear in the upper right) on how to use a Camera. You can buy some weapons from the Ammu-Nation in Angel Pine if you need some. You can also find a Tec-9 behind the easternmost trailer in the trailer park. Also, you can find some body armor in the town as well. Here are directions to it: from the Ammu-Nation in Angel Pine, head west on the road and make the first right (north). Make the next right (right after the road bends left) and you should see a restaurant on the right (east) side of the road, on the corner. Check behind the restaurant to find the body armor. Once you reach the red marker just outside of town, you must make your way up the mountain using the dirt roads and switch-backs that are going up the mountain. When you see another dirt road going up to the right, continue on the dirt road heading left and make your way around
