Welcome to the 1980's
Welcome to Vice City, a huge urban sprawl stretching from the
beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, a town brimming
with delights and degradation.
Having just made it back into the streets of Liberty City after
a long stretch inside, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his
old boss, Sonny Forelli. But all does not go smoothly upon his
arrival in the glamorous, hedonistic metropolis of Vice City.
Tommy is set up and loses everything. Sonny wants his money back,
but the biker gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians
stand in his way. Most of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead.
His only answer is to fight back and take over the city himself.

*WARNING*
DO NOT EMAIL me anything about this game that have been answered in this guide,
I know you are really hyped up or into the game, and at least a million
reserved it or that's what I heard. So, I know my mailbox will be filled with
tons of beginner questions or questions that are answered in the document
that I won't even bother responding it back for you. I don't care if you got
the game, I don't care if you are ahead of me in the game and I absolutely
won't care if you email me and start showing off, I hope you understand. Let
me play and enjoy the game first and make this document the best source for
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City out there as possible.
Now, you may email me if you have a better strategy for those missions I've
been through and completed already or a better car information than I have
in the Vehicle List, and the same for weapons, etc.
If there are 3 or 4 alternate strategies for one mission, DO NOT email me for
more, I appreciate it but I think enough is enough, I'm not trying to sound
mean, but I can't just stuff all of them in here. Thanks.
*CHEATING LOWERS YOUR CRIMINAL RATING*
from Snyder
I just noticed something that ALL cheaters and GTA gamers need to know if
they dont know already. Using a major cheat such as a car spawning cheat
DRAMATICALLY lowers your Criminal Rating...
*WANT TO FIX THAT ERROR MESSAGE?*
Credits to ShadowMafia
Okay, I have recieved this damn thing already <The error message>. I
decided to find a fix for it,so here goes. If you use a few select codes,
apparantly your save is left alone. I have 4 saves on my memory card...2 are
corrupted,and 2 are normal. The codes you CAN use without getting a error
message are : All weapons, Full armor, Full health, and No Wanted Level.
I tested a few other codes but they all gave the error message if combined.
<For your info : They were the "Hover Cars" code from GameFaqs,and one
other but I cant remember it, I think it was the "chicks follow you"
code?> As for the cheat code still being enabled if you reset your
console,heres the fix. Apparantly it doesnt corrupt saved games that
WEREN'T saved while the 'corrupting' code was on. I recieved this
message also,and reset the console only to get it again. The way to get
past it is : Turn off your PS2,not just reset it, then try your game. I
didnt recieve the errors until after I had used 'corrupting' codes. The
4 above that will not corrupt your game are basically all you will need
anyways.
*SAVED FILE CORRUPTED?*
from Brian
Myke,
I'm sure you get tons of e-mail a day about Vice City, (Brian, I get more than
just tons, like 100 per day, but hey, they are pretty useful emails) but this
is in regards to the "DID YOU CHEAT?" section of yout guide. While I can't
confirm the part about the choppers not being available, something
interesting did happen when I used a cheat. I had just beat a mission and
saved. I decided to do a little hellraising then. So I enabled the Group I
weapons and flying cars cheat. I played for about 15 minutes and decided to
do another mission. So I RESET the PS2 WITHOUT saving after I cheated.
After I rebooted the game I played a mission. Everything seemed normal (no
flying cars, same old weapons I had before), but when I went to save, it
gave me a message about saving a game with cheats enabled. But I didn't
save the game with cheats on, I just reset it. Sure enough, it "corrupted"
my only 2 save game files I had. Could the game or PS2 somehow write the
cheats into a savegame without me actually saving? It seems that it did.
So I woud tell people to beware of cheats, for the game may actually
"change" you savegames by itself. So I had to restart the game.

Version 0.7
Nov. 5th, 2002 Walkthrough updated to both Rock Band and the Biker.
Version 0.8 Thanks to the people confirming that the cheating
rumour isn't true. I do have one question though,
what part of the game will be affected if you do
cheat? I heard that you get a message?
Nov. 6th, 2002 Read the "Saved File Corrupted?" message above. Anyway,
Version 0.9 walkthrough is done for both the Love Fist and Mitch
Baker. I still need to do the final mission for Vercetti,
I bought some companies, and I need to go meet 2 other
people and a phone mission to do, after that, I'll get
to the depth of the game such as Hidden Packages, Side
Missions, etc. Hey, I might add an Easter Eggs section,
because alot of things in the game are from past GTA games,
so I figured why not have something fun to read/look
through?
Nov. 7th, 2002 Added the Kaufman Cab missions, Umberto Robina's missions,
Version 1.0 some boats are added to the Vehicle list...I also bought
the Film Studio and Sunshine Autos and I'll get to them

Version 1.3 Vercetti missions are completed except for the last one,
I will get to the Unique Jumps and Hidden Packages on the
next update, including the Street Races, the Hyman Stadium
races and some other vehicle funs. I will also work on the
Items locations (such as Police Bribes, Health, and Armor)
There is this new thing called "Rampage", I'll get to that

Walkthrough
==============================================================================
Before you go on and start your first mission, here are several things you
should know:
* - A single cop running down the street after you or a police car will
pull up besides you and try to bust you down. If one pulled you out of
the car, you'll be busted that way too.
** - Two or three police cars will be after you and try to take you down.
Get to the Pay 'n Spray or grab the Police Bribe somewhere in the
game.
*** - Helicopter will track you down with the spotlight while police cars
and a new vehicle in the chase, the Cheetah will be in pursuit after
you. Sometimes they will set up a roadblock or two police cars to
act like a barricade to hold you down.
*** - Heavy units coming in! Police cars are driving more aggresively than
* before and they arrive and catch you quickly as well. A new vehicle
in the chase, the Enforcer, and the police start using stop strips
*** - You got the FBI after you in their black Rancher! Good job! Now they
** are getting serious about this and try to gun you down.
*** - When will you ever give up?! The military are after you along with the
*** FBIs, Helicopters, Cheetahs and Police Cars. The military will carry
the Rhino and the Barrack OLs with them to get your butt in jail.
-Go to any fast food place in the malls or the pizza place and order
food and your health will go back to 100 (Credits to Dave Z)
----------------------------------
The first thing you have to do is to head for the hotel, which is the pink
dot on the radar, you can take the Admiral or any other vehicle to get there.
Enter the building where the pink dot is, you can either save the game (tape
cassette) or go on to see what your first mission is.
An Old Friend
------------------------
A conversation between Tommy and Sonny took place, Sonny asked if Tommy have
the money and Tommy told him no. Sonny got mad and said it was his money and
he doesn't like to be put down. Tommy told Sonny that he will take care of it.
After the conversation, head to the Lawyer's Office, which is where the "L"
is in the Washington Beach area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1: Ken Rosenberg
------------------------
I. The Party
------------------------
The lawyer tells you about this guy, Colonel Juan Cortez, is the one who set
the deal up with him and he has a party going on in the yacht somewhere and
the lawyer have been invited but he does not want to go there because there
are big guys after him. Tommy shutted him up and he tells the lawyer that he
will take care of it.
Stop by Rafael's first, his place is in the Washington Beach area, he will
give you a nice blue Armani suit! well...maybe not Armani...but its nice
though. A scene of a biker shows up, nice bike he says, take it if you want
to. Go to the party at Colonel Juan Cortez's yacht. If you can't find it,
it is a little bit to the south of the southern bridge that connects the
two islands, and you'll see that pink dot on your radar.
You'll meet up with Juan Cortez and then he'll introduce you to his daughter,
Mercedes. Mercedes will take you around the yacht and tell you about each one
of the guests on the boat, then she wants you to take her to the Pole Position
Club. Pick a car and go to the Pole Position Club, it isn't far from here.
Once you drop her off, you will be rewarded $100.
------------------------
II. Back Alley Brawl
------------------------
Go back to Ken Rosenberg, the lawyer, to see what to do next. He will tell you
about this guy, Kent Paul and Ken says that he's always at the Malibu Club,
so go pay him a visit.
Take your vehicle and head straight to the Malibu Club, it is located right
in the middle of the island you are on, but it said its in the Vice Point
area. Anyway, head on inside and you'll find the drunk Kent trying to pick
up a girl inside the club. He has nothing to give you, Tommy pushed him down
and then head outside. Your next objective is to find the chef on Ocean Drive.
A yellow dot will appear on your map and that is where the chef is, drive or
run over there and you'll find the chef in the alley. Beat him up and take the
cellphone, a black man shows up and tried to be partner with you because he
saw what happened. More chefs behind you, ignore them and follow the guy back
to the car. This time, go to the Ammu-Nation, a gun shop, up in Vice Point. Go
to where the Gun symbol is on your map to get there. There are only two guns
available to buy, a Colt 45 and Ingram Mac 10. Exit out of Ammu-Nation and then
go back to the hotel to complete this mission and collect $200. Head back to
the lawyer's office.
------------------------
III. Jury Fury
------------------------
Ken found out that there are guys coming down there and take him out, he
thought Tommy said he is taking care of this, he also ask for the money.
Tommy told him to relax and he hasn't got to the money part. After you leave
the office, the guy standing in front of you got ran over and left behind a
hammer, take it! There are two yellow dots on your radar, they were where
the juror's car is, go to one of them and then smash the car up, do the same
with the other car and you'll receive $400 for this.
------------------------
IV. Riot
------------------------
Finally, something fun to do. Avery wants you to stir up a riot over on the
island near Washington Beach. Stop by Rafael's to get new clothes and then
head over to the destinated spot. Beat up 4 workers in the area to start
a riot, then if you have a weapon, blow up the barrels in the area. If
you don't have a weapon, then beat up the police first, grab the gun off him
and then target the barrel next to the two vans (press R1) and then fire!
One more van to blow up but the barrel is too far away from it and its radius
blast isn't big enough to hit the last van. So, beat up some cops and take the
pistols from them and start firing at the van. Whenever you see a flame emerges
from the front of the van from all the bullet going in, that means the van will
explode, mission accomplished, $1000 will go in your hands. That's it for Ken
Rosenberg, and you can move on and do some things for Avery, he is the "A"
marked on your radar.
EMAIL FROM: Mike Christoffel
For the Riot Mission - you can enter the third van and just drive it into
walls until it lights on fire, to destroy it. Ths is much better than
wasting ammo on it.
EMAIL FROM: calicat
You don't need a gun to destroy the vans. You can just use a hammer or a
bat and just keep beating each van until it catches fire. Make sure and
back away from the explosion or your toast. It takes a minute or so of
whaling on each van but the rioters don't bother you. Rather than fighting
your way through the mob to escape, just climb the boxes behind one of the
vans and jump over the fence into the construction yard and you can walk
away safely.
EMAIL FROM: thegremlin
When doing Riot you don't actually need to 'attack' 4 guys. Running them
over in a car works. Just ram a car into the crowd, back up, run a few more
over and then drive out. The guys will chase you down and pull you out of
the car though, so drive a bit off and then run back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 - Avery Carrington
------------------------
I. Four Iron
------------------------
Avery wants you to go to a golf club because a big man is there that he does
not like, he also gives you a free membership card to get in the golf club.
You need some clothing though, head over to JockSport to get the golf clothes.
A chick is checking you out, hm, thanks! The golf club isn't far from here, go
across the nearby bridge and turn right to enter the club. When you go through
the metal detector, you'll notice that you can't carry guns in there and they
are left behind. Pick up the golf club to the right and then take the Caddy
to where the yellow dot is on your radar.
Go up the stairs and one of the guys in black suit will come over you then
the big guy will jump in the golf cart and drive away. Quickly jump in the
golf cart and chase down after him, but run over the group of guys in black
suit first so they won't be any trouble to you. You can try to knock the big
guy over on his golf cart and then beat him up. If he has already left the
golf club and is on the road, hurry out of the club and jump in a fast car
and then keep following him. Once you catch up to him, ram into him as hard
as you can and exit out of the vehicle, drag him out and beat him up with
your golf club. $500!
EMAIL FROM: R. Galovan
My strategy is for "Four Iron". First go to where the guy you are supposed
to kill, and his bodygaurds are. As soon as they see you, jump into a golf
cart and go to the entrance to the club. (dont worry about killing the body
guards). Right outside, there should be a white car w/ someone in it. Go
ahead and take steal the car. Stay in the parking lot and run over anyone
who comes out of the enterance to get you. Wait a while, and the man you
are supposed to kill will exit the golf club. He can't go anywhere because
you have is getaway car! Just run him over when he comes out, and the
mission is over, there is no way he can get away.
EMAIL FROM: calicat
If you have guns you can smuggle them into the golf course by parking your
car next to the big gray oval thing to the left of the country club
entrance. Jump on the car and jump over the gray thing. Run around the back
of the country club and swipe a golf cart. Then proceed with the mission as
usual by going to the driving range. But now you can shoot the bodyguards
and and the target.
EMAIL FROM: Brandon Roberts
for the mission where you go to the golf club go to the entrance and there
is a porsche looking car, just drive it straight up along the building,
hop on top of it and jump over the fence, so that way you can keep all of
your guns
EMAIL FROM: thegremlin
For Four Iron, you can't go through the metal detector with a gun... but
you can take them onto the golf course. As you face the front of the
entrance you should be able to see a ramp on the left side by the fence.
I suppose this is so you can drive a golf cart around the city. But you
can use it to get into the club. Just park a car by it and hop on the hood
of the car. From the car jump onto the ramp. Volia, you're inside the
golf course. Just hop a ride, drive over to the guy, whip out a gun and
plug him from a safe distance. His gomba's didn't even try and fight back
when I did this.
EMAIL FROM: substance J
When you arrive at the country club, you'll notice a ramp on the other
side of the fence, to the left of the entrance. Take the Comet that's
parked opposite to it, and use that to climb over the fence. Now you're
inside, with all your firearms. To make the mission even simpler, take
the golf carts parked by the driving range and push them into the water.
Your target will have no means of escape.
------------------------
II. Demolition Man
------------------------
Avery will be out of town and he needs you to go to the construction site and
demolish it. Run to the Top Fun van to start the mission. You get to fly in
the helicopter, pick up the bomb and go to any one of the four pink dots,
but with how hard to control the helicopter, you've been given a good amount
of time of 7 minutes to get all 4 bombs in each one of their own spot. Pick
up the first bomb by pressing [] and then fly the helicopter over to the
construction site (where you see 4 pink blips on the radar), drop the bomb on
the first and lowest barrel, then head back to pick up another bomb. The 2nd
barrel is 1 floor up, the 3rd is 2 floors up and the last barrel is the 3rd
floor up. To drop the bomb, press O.
EMAIL FROM: hemorse
You get the helicopter, and you first learn how to fly it. Fly into the
bottom floor of the building, always moving forward and pressing x to gain
elevation when you need to. You'll notice that the construction workers
follow you. When you have a feel for the building, and you note that
staircase, you're good to go. Fly back to the bombs, turn around so
you're facing the building, pick one up, and haul butt towards the
basement. I always have a problem with time and never with the guards,
so don't worry about them too much. Now this is important: start on the
ground floor and drop your bomb there (don't worry about accuracy; the
game is pretty lenient). Get another and progress up to the second floor,
then the third, then the fourth. There's a spot on each floor; fly around
until you find it then go back and get another bomb. Don't worry about
the guards. On the third floor is a security guard who shoots at you.
Don't worry about him either. Now as soon as you place the fourth bomb
on the fourth floor, the building goes. Doing this I managed to complete
the mission with 1:30 left on the timer, but if you don't leave the fourth
floor for last the mission will be a pain in your butt.
EMAIL FROM: Charles
First of all, get familiar with the rc copter before picking up the first
bomb and starting the timer. I find that tapping the x button, as opposed
to holding it down makes the copter fly in a better straight line. As for
the mission itself, instead of starting with the target on the ground
level, go up the inner staircase of the building and start with the
highest target, and work your way down. That way, if you're running low
on time, your last target will be at ground level, and you'll have a
straight shot in, instead of having to race the clock up the stairs.
EMAIL FROM: Charly Martin
DON'T TOUCH THE BOMBS YET! First just go into the building at a high
level...
Find a worker and cut him with your blades on your copter...
*****Do this on all the floors so that everyone is dead.*****
That should make the mission much easier... Then take your time and drop
the first bomb at the top and work your way down....
------------------------
III. Two Bit Hit
------------------------
Avery introduces you to Donald Love, from GTA III, and Avery wants you to
stir up a conflict between the Cubans and the Haitians. Go to the clothing
store in Little Havana to get a disguise. Head over to where the pink blip
is. Block the car where the gang leader is and throw a bomb in there if you
have one. If the gang leader has already left in his Romero Hearse, grab a
car and chase him down but try not to TAILGATE the Romero Hearse because it
will begin to drop coffins and if you run over one, it will blow up. Drive
along beside the Romero Hearse and bang into either side and try to get it
to hit the wall or get stuck somewhere and then blow it up using a bomb or
something.
EMAIL FROM: Zinnpage
I used the rocket launcher on this mission. Because of the number of gang
members in the area, I had to soften up the target a little first. I used
the SPAS shotgun to mow down a few rows of bangers, and as soon as the
leader pulled off in the herse, I switched to the RPG, and blew up the
Hearse. (I can't remember where I found the SPAS shotgun, but it is
AWSOME)
EMAIL FROM: rooster
I found an easier way to complete the mission. First, when you get to where
the gang members have the road blocked, make a left and then make a right
into an alley. Drive to an open space across from the target. Take the
ruger, aim and fire. Make sure you are facing the way you came in before
you shoot. After you shoot, floor it and get out of there. Much easier than
running him down.
EMAIL FROM: A. Bixler
I just stomped on the gas, through the small roadblock, jumped the curb
and ran over the guy. Then made my way out through the back alley. Mission
took all of 3 seconds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3 - Colonel Juan Cortez
------------------------
I. Treacherous Swine
------------------------
Cortex tells you about Gonzalez and how he got to a new level and Cortez
didn't like where Gonzalez is going, so he needed you to take the chainsaw,
whoa...a chainsaw? now that's going too far, but hey! why not do the job for
money? Go to where the pink dot is on the map. Head inside and you'll find
Gonzalez, head down there and cut him up with the chainsaw. If he escape
out of the building, you can just jack a car and run him over, the police
will be after you after you kill Gonzalez, so hurry and go to the new pink
dot on the map, which is the Pay 'n' Spray, park your car in the garage to
lose the warrant and you don't have to pay $100, but next time you park your
car in any one of the Pay 'n' Spray garages in the game, you will lose $100.
EMAIL FROM: kialindo
After killing the swine I was able to complete the mission by grabbing the
police bribe to the left of the building as you exit and then I managed
to find another bribe in an alleyway nearby. Suffice it to say you don't
need to go to the Pay 'n' Spray but just have to get rid of your wanted
level in any way possible.
------------------------
II. Mall Shootout
------------------------
Cortez wants you to go meet someone in the mall who has the guidance chip, so
get in a vehicle and go to the yellow triangle on your radar, which is where
the Washington Mall is. You can drive a car in there, or a motorcycle into the
mall, or just use your feet. Go up the escalator and meet the guy in the
purple suit. A conversation will go on from there, FBI agents will be spying
on you and then they will try to hurt you or capture you. Ignore them and go
after the target. Grab a fast car and run him down. If he is riding on the
motorcycle, use the same strategy and run him over if he falls off the
motorcycle and then pick up the guidance chip. Head back to Cortez in order
to complete the mission and get $500.
EMAIL FROM: Circle Tilde
After you except the mission from Cortez, grab the car outside the
boatdocks, or any other fast vehicle of your choosing, and drive to the
east? mall entrance (I beleive.. It should be the entrance that you can
drive a vehicle through). This is also the closest entrance to the target.
After you park the car (facing towards the street.) Go ahead and meet up
with the guy. He runs through the same entrance you just parked at.. but
with your fast vehicle already running and waiting for you, you should have
no trouble at all trying to find a vehicle to catch up with the guy and run
him over.
EMAIL FROM: Kevin
For this mission I parked a car across the mall entrance that the courier
will try to run out and then pushed it into the entrance to totally block
it. After the shoot out begins and the courier books, run down the
escalator and run after the courier, you will find him blocked in the
mall by the car with no place to go. Shoot him and take the chip.
Mission accomplished! This worked really well. No long vehicle chase to
do
------------------------
III. Guardian Angels
------------------------
In this mission, Cortez wants you to go watch over Diaz's men at the drop off,
but he dropped off some protection at the multistory carpark for you. Go to
the target on the radar, this is where the car parking building is, but to
get in it, use the alley, then go up the ramp. Pick up the Ruger here and
Lance will show up. Lance will go with Tommy to the drop-off. Go to where the
pink blip is on your radar. Diaz and his men will show up and they will talk
with the other group, business stuff. You need to watch out for anybody behind
Diaz on the street (men in white clothing) and kill them off. Two men in
Sandbags will take Diaz's money and zip off, Diaz ordered you to go after the
one who has his money, forget the dirtbike, take a car and run that money
snatcher down! Once you got the briefcase, head back to where Diaz is to
give him back his money, mission completed!
EMAIL FROM: Moogle
the quickest way to finish it off, (After the money is stolen) is to sprint
through the Uzi and onto the motorcycle. Chase the thief down the alley and
gun him down since you cna fire forward on a bike with an uzi.
EMAIL FROM: Mooshkie217
Instead of using the Ruger to get the Haitian get the Uzi. Aim with R1 and
hold circle until that person dies. Then move on to the next person. On the
part when you need to chase the guy on the dirtbike you shouldn't try to
steal a car. It might take to long and he might get away. Get on the
dirtbike and shoot him while on the bike. If he is in front of you press
circle. If he is on the side press R2 or L2 and circle
EMAIL FROM: SocrTrump
I find this is the best order to do things. When you are at the top of the
staircase, don't aim at the two bad guys doing the deal, they will die
pretty quickly after others come, instead, wait for the first car to pull
in directly behind theirs and shoot the driver as quickly as possible, then
the passenger. A few seconds later, A van will park on the road to your
right. Get this to explode as quickly as possible, then shoot anyone who
escaped it. After a while, 2 cars will show up on your left. If you can't
destroy the whole car from afar, wait until they park and shoot all of them.
Besides that, listen to Leo when he needs help, a guy is shooting at him on
the staircase across from you.
------------------------
IV. Sir, Yes Sir!
------------------------
Cortez wants you to go pick up a piece of military hardware that is being
taken through town. From the Colonel's yacht, you better go to some weapon
store for some and get loaded up. Grab a vehicle and go to the yellow blip
on the radar which is where the military is marching down the street. Park
the car in front of the tank to make the convoy stop. Exit out of the vehicle
and go jack the tank. Once you get to drive the tank, you are unstoppable. Head
for the pink blip on your radar and then park the tank inside the garage.
EMAIL FROM: RWBudd
Head North from the pier parking lot to the first bridge, hang a left and
go to the next island. Take a right at the end of the bridge and travel
North stopping just south of the next bridge. Wait for the convoy to
approach you until it STOPS. (you will hear some one order a soldier to get
some donuts). Run to the tank and open the door (it will be unlocked when
stopped). Hop in, take a right and head for the yellow blip. Not a hard
$2000.
EMAIL FROM: Brock
On the missions Sir, Yes Sir (for the Colonel) you have to steal a tank. I
got my a** shot up a few times before I found a simple way to beat it. The
tank is locked so you can't just go and jump into it. I drove passed the
convoy and then walked up to the BACK Barracks OL, stealing it. The army
guys in it jump out and begin to shoot at you. I drove forward a few blocks
passed the convoy. This causes the lead Hummer and barracks to chase you,
leaving the tank unguarded. I then stole the Hummer and drove back. By now
the tank is unlocked, so I yanked out the driver, turned it 180 degrees and
hauled it back to the Colonel's garage.
EMAIL FROM: mathias1314
Before you head over the bridge to the west island. Go to ammunation and
buy grenades and a sniper rifle. Go to toward the yellow blimp but park
your vehicle in the middle of the street before they see you and move away
from the vehicle and the soldiers until you are at a nice far throwing
distance. Seconds before they stop the convoy on account of your vehicle,
start throwing your nades like crazy right into the convoy. Make sure you
throw both in front of the tank and behind the tank. 2 or 3 is good. I
wouldn't throw more than this because you might blow up the tank also. If
you do it right the nades will blow up all the vehicles in the convoy
except the tank. Any soldiers that are left you can snipe with your sniper
rifle(They will propbably be running to you making them an easy target).
Once enough is killed the soldiers that are in the tank will leave it and
help. This way can be difficult to succeed in the first time. But when you
do it right it's easy and YOU KILL ALL OF THEM. Which means getting into
the tank will be easy. It should be no problem to follow the blimp to park
the tank from here.
EMAIL FROM: Randy
Grab a car - any car and head over to where the tank is. Drive the car
right in front of the tank, forcing it to stop. Get out of the car and
head to the tank. The soldiers will tell you to step away, but I was
able to get into the tank before even one shot was fired. From there, an
easy trip back to Colonel's garage.
------------------------
V. All Hands On Deck!
------------------------
This has to be my favorite mission so far, why? because you get to play
sniper and you be very aggressive, actually you've been aggressive through the
whole game, right? Anyway, get a sun tan lotion and a pair of shades because
you are going to be on a cruise!
Cortez is leaving and he wants you to help him to get out safely. The French
are after him in boats. The first part of this mission is to go at the rear
of the boat and gun down any boats coming from behind. The second part have
you to try to clear the boats in front of the ship out of the way. The third
part have the helicopters coming in and drop the French on the deck, kill the
French and then gun down the helicopter, there are 2 of them. The fourth
part of the mission have the Hunter flying in and try to gun you and Cortez
down, simply shoot the Hunter down and then go back to the front of the ship
and clear the way so that Cortez can leave and never return. A gun reappears
in the middle of the ship if you are ever low on ammo.
EMAIL FROM: R. Smith
If you park your car in the middle of dock 1 (where the men in black run in
to their boats) and block their path, they won't be able to get to the
boats, and you'll eliminate the first part of the mission - with boats
swarming all over you. This actually makes a boring first couple of
minutes, as everyone on your boat just stands around. However, when you
approach the bridge with the blockade, the action will start again. This
just saved you a lot of ammunition, and some health.
EMAIL FROM: Mr Owl
I finished this mission very easily using a minigun. Make sure you have at
least 1,000 rounds, and go to town. It automatically aims up and down Doom
style and eats up the boats and choppers fast. The only thing is make sure
you don't accidentally mow down Cortez.
EMAIL FROM: B. Palmer
This mission is actually very easy, because of the respawning heart and
ruger. When I played the mission, the heart wouldn't respawn and the ruger
only sometimes. The trick I found was to run to the back railing, then
back to the center stairs, and the heart and ruger will be there. The
mission should be impossible to fail now, since you basically have
unlimited health.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4 - Ricardo Diaz
------------------------
I. The Chase
------------------------
Diaz's house is located on Starfish Island, drive to his mansion. Diaz will
get you to find out where this guy's hideout is because this guy is doing
something behind his back. Go to where the pink blip is on the radar and
have a look in the window, hmm, nobody's in there. There he is! follow him
across the rooftop (use the plank to walk/run across the gap between
buildings) and he will jump into the BF Injection, find a good car and keep
following him.
*Note - he may puncture your tire(s) while on the pursuit and make you drive
out of control, if you want a better car, QUICKLY drive up to one and drag
the person out of the next vehicle and keep following the target until it
reaches Prawn Island. Now you know where this guy's hideout is, head back to
Diaz's mansion.
EMAIL FROM: M16
Once you go to look though his window he comes. Sprint after his (X). Tap
sprint so it lasts longer. Go after him and and once you reach the roof
there will be a cut-scene. Ignore the cut-scene. Just run down the roof
avoiding all walls. Remember to keep on tapping X so you run longer. The
are gaps between the roofs so you have to run over the plank. If you are
going at a fast enough paceyou will just fly over and you won't need the
planks. When the barrels explode run around the fire. (Just go inbetween
two of them) Then you will see him jump off the roof, do it too. Now here
is the part where everyone goes wrong at first. Don't look for a car on
the street, on the road side of the dumpster is a Faggio. Hop on it, it's
the perfect way to follow him. It is easy to catch up to him and turns are
no problem. Just keep on swerving to avoid bullets, you most likely will
never get hit this way. Don't go to close to him but you can be about 3 of
the games car lengths away. Just follow him for a bit and mission done.
The key is to use the FAGGIO, just grab it by the dumpster when you jump
off the building. Do not jump off the building before he does otherwise
he stops and no you can't snipe him. He is in a area where you can't hit
him.
EMAIL FROM: SocrTrump
If you know where he jumps of the building at the end, park a car there
already and then run back to the window to start the chase, that way you
don't have to look around for something to drive. Also, keep your distance
in the car chase. You just need to see where they are going, not kill them.
If you are far away, they wont shoot at you.
------------------------
II. Phnom Penh '86
------------------------
Diaz will have you to go over to where the gang's hideout is and take them
out, Quentin Vance will come along with you. You'll be on the helicopter
in this mission and you need to take out anybody or anything that is shooting
at you. You will go through couple places while doing this. After the last
place, you will be on foot and you need to retrieve the money the hard way.
Go in front of the building, but DON'T GO IN YET! Take out your sniper rifle
and aim at any part of the guy's body in there and shoot, he's dead. There
are at least 5 or 6 men in there to kill. Head inside and go up to the second
floor and stand at the bottom of the stairs that leads to the rooftop, kill
the two guys up there. Go upstairs and then take the briefcase, that's it!
Mission accomplished!
------------------------
III. The Fastest Boat
------------------------
Diaz wants to be the only man that has the fastest boat in the city, someone
in the city has that boat and Diaz wants you to steal it. Grab a car and head
over to Vice Port via the southern-most bridge (Yes! finally!) and turn south
to where the target is. Stay outside of the fence and shoot anybody that is
shooting at you. Once the area is clear, head inside and turn left into the
garage, kill the men in there too, but be careful! they got screwdriver in
their hand and can stab you! Go to the where the pink aura is in the back
of the garage to lower the boat. Ignore the group of men that are shooting
at you and run to the boat, hop in and drive it to Starfish Island (pink
blip on your radar) You'll get $4,000 for passing this mission.
EMAIL FROM: Nocturnal
On the mission "The Fastest Boat", there's a more complicated (but
ultimately safer) way to do it. First, get yourself some other boat from
around Vice City. If you remember the drop-off point after winning the
Cuban boat race, there'll be a police boat at that dock. Make sure you
have a sniper rifle and sail on over to where the fastest boat is located.
Keep your distance, and snipe the guards from the safety of the ocean.
When you can't seem to snipe them anymore, dock your boat and head up on
the land. Kill whoever's left. Now, do not throw the switch. Take a car
and head over to 8-Ball's Bomb Shop and have it outfitted with explosives.
Head back to the dock and sit the car just outside of the garage. Go in,
flip the switch, and immediately detonate the car. This will take out many
of the new guards that appear. Now just run for the speedboat and take
off.
EMAIL FROM: A. Bixler
I got distracted with a car chase by the cops. By the time I got to the
dock where the boat was all of the guys that were guarding must've got
bored and wandered out into the street where they were easy pickings.
EMAIL FROM: SocrTrump
At the Dock entrance, there should be a guy walking behind a fence to the
left. Wait untill he turns away, and then come around the right side of the
fence and kill him.(I use shotgun)Now, run down this side of the building
(North, I think). There is a wall that juts out from the building. duck
behind it with L3. Get back up with L3 and shoot near people with your
shotgun and far people with your sniper. (there are about 5 guys on this
side.) that should finish off pretty much all of them on the outside.
------------------------
IV. Supply & Demand
------------------------
Diaz says some guy is selling his cargo to the first boat, so he wants you
to take his speedboat and beat all of the other men to it then bring the
cargo back here. The quickest route to get there is if you go straight and
then veer to the left, beat the two other boats, go through some sharp turns
and you're there!
When you get back to Starfish Island, there will be some men behind you. Press
the circle (O) button to shoot, but with moving target and you being in the
boat make it a little bit hard to get a good shot. I suggest keeping the
sight steady and tap the circle (O) button at them will get rid of them.
After that, the helicopter will fly in and try to take you down, just shoot
like crazy at the helicopter and then it will go down. The final boat is
out in front of you, take it down and then...oh..whew! Mission accomplished!
and that's $10,000!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5 - Tommy Vercetti
------------------------
I. Death Row
------------------------
Go meet up with Kent Paul (K on radar) and he will tell you that Diaz got
Lance captured and is being held in the junkyard. Get a car with a strong
body and a sniper rifle. Go to the junkyard and you'll see the men has the
car blocking you from going into the junkyard, acting like it was some
barricade. Ram through the front or the rear end of the car so that you can
get in a little quicker. Keep driving until it's on fire and I suggest you
get out of the car and hide behind the obstacle in front of the crane. Take
out your sniper rifle and take out the guy on top of the crane, the three
men in the garage (where Lance is) and some behind and to the right of you.
Once you got rid of them (that's not all), go inside the garage and rescue
Lance. You need to take him to the hospital fast! Did I say fast? take the
Sentinel to the left of the garage and exit out of the junkyard, but that's
not the end! You'll have several men in Stingers going after you and try to
take you and Lance down. Keep the Sentinel steady and try to take several
shortcuts until you reach the hospital.
EMAIL FROM: calicat
Grab the sea sparrow helicopter behind (D) Diaz's mansion. Fly it to the
Club Malibu (K) to start the mission. Once you start your mission use the
helicopter to fly to the junkyard where they're holding Lance. Land the
helicopter just east of the junkyard entrance on a dock by the water. Run
around to the junkyard, kill all the guys, rescue Lance, then you two high
tail it back over to your waiting helicopter. Fly him to the hospital and
land in the pink circle out front. As you get close to the ground you'll
hear the pursuing gang cars smacking into all kinds of stuff trying to get
to you. So you have to be careful and land directly in the pink circle to
end the mission.
EMAIL FROM: F. Reese
Here is how I got it, first get the uzi and try to get through while
staying alive. if you complete? great, but at some point get the OTHER
type of SMG, not the uzi but the gun with the butt on the end of it. after
you get that and figure out the mission heal and get armor (I only wasted
100 armor on each run and MADE like 200 hundred rounds for both guns and
2000 dollars per run) then try again. the secret this time is to stay just
INSIDE The range of the gun. that OTHER SMG is INSANELY accurate.. Shoot a
three to ten round burst and retarget, repeat, you should NEVER go back to
a target you already shot at (that is how good this gun is)
THen you have to get away, use a crouch rocket or any car, and SNEAK out..
take the FIRST right alley. (barely on the map) go down it over the small
red bridge (Careful) and at THIS point you should be able to just ride
casually to the end.. enjoy.
EMAIL FROM: John H.
This is one of the best ways to beat Death Row. First, buy the $400 Uzi at
Ammu-Nation in the North Mall. Next, even though this isn't necessary, get
Armor. I didn't end up needing it, but better safe than sorry. Get a
van, I used a Rumpo... go to the Malibu to get your mission. Drive to the
Junkyard and RAM into the vehicle. Try running over as many people as
possible until the van's on fire then BAIL OUT. Start auto-targeting and
firing the hell out of everyone, make sure you get everyone. THEN, get
over to Lance. Have him follow you to the Trashmaster (Truck). This is
great, it's infact the key to success. Just drive the Trashmaster normally
to the hospital, when Diaz's men ram into you, they'll just bounce off and
most likely won't catch up. Again, TRASHMASTER: Key to success.
EMAIL FROM: zinnpage
I flew my helicopter to the street leading up to the roadblock. Using the
helicopter to reach your destination, allows you to save a little time for
the gunfight. As soon as I hit the ground, I hit the car with a rocket,
which also took out the gangsters using it for cover. I then switched to
the Tec-9, and sprinted into the compound. Once I had a little cover, I
switched to the SPAS Shotgun. I then moved slowly towards the rear, taking
out targets as they presented themselves. It is VERY important to use
cover, as it is the only defense against multiple shooters with Rugers.
Once I cleared the courtyard, I slowly moved from cover, and took the
inside guys out one at a time. I then grabbed Vance, and climbed aboard....
The TRASHMASTER! That's right, take the garbage truck out, and those poor
little sports cars end up like recycled coke cans. Just slowly drive to the
hospital, and the deed is done.
------------------------
II. Rub Out
------------------------
A pink aura will appear outside of Diaz's mansion, step in it. Lance Vance will
pull up besides you and he will show you some nice heavy pieces from inside
his trunk, he called them "cannons". You need to go kill Diaz in this mission.
Diaz isn't going in a getaway car or a gang of his men will jump on you, so
take out each one of Diaz's men one by one. There are at least 5 hanging out
in front of the mansion, 3 in the maze on the right side of the mansion. When
you enter the mansion, there are two in the little room, 3 more when you go up
the stairs and about 6 or 7 including Diaz in the main/big room. Why should you
complete this mission? well you get to own the property and $50,000!!
EMAIL FROM: K. Wolfe
Before you get Diaz's go to Ammunation and pick up a sniper rifle and an
automatic weapon. Then start the mission. Go and meet with Lance Vance and
careully,when you get to Diaz's Blacktop Driveway snipe all the guards out
on the left side of his mansion. Then proceed to the guards on the steps
of his mansion in the front. Snipe them out. For the two right in front of
the front door, you might have to get at an ange to shoot them. DO NOT go
around the right side of the house. Take the left. Since all the guards
are dead and its clear Lance will say. "Come on,this way. He will then
hotdog it and take on the 4-5 guards that are remaining. Help him out on
this, he gets killed easily. When you are inside the are where the pool is
inside take the right corridor. Then switch to the automatic weapon. Just
push the aim button when you get to the red flight of stairs. He will aim
at guards you cant see. Fire at them to kill them. Dont go all the way up
the stairs. About midway there is a hallway. Enter it. There will be one
guard. Kill him and then you go to the the living/ball/grand room of the
house. A cutscene will show of Diaz walking out with his gun. After the
scenes over DO NOT kill any of the guards. Go directly for Diaz. Lance can
take the guards. Keep pounding on him until he drops. Then a cutscene will
roll and there you go.
SocrTrump
First of all, Don't bother with the guys at the front of the mansion. The
middle of this mission has been explained well before. But at the final
hallway that leads to the Main Room, pull out your sniper and take out
everyone in this room. You can go pretty far before the cutscene rolls, so
walk slowly and make sure you have everyone so it will only be Diaz and you.
EMAIL FROM: Estel
First, go to the AmmuNation down near Cortez's and get the 346-30
automatic weapon...mainly because you can run with it. Then go up to the
AmmuNation in the mall and aquire a Sniper Rifle. Go to the second island
and go south, take the first right after you pass the last bridge. You
will soon see an orangish colored building. Go through the entrance way
to see a pool, which contains a rocket launcher. Grab that, get in your
vehicle, and head over to Diaz's. When the mission starts, snipe the guys
out front, and three on the left side. Using your automatic weapon,
follow Lance around the side, making sure to get the guy in the little
maze on the left. After you enter the building, and you get to the
hallway, stand in the entrance to the big room and snipe everyone. Walk
out into the room and the cinema starts. When diaz first walks out into
the room, he stands on a balcony...quickly switch to your rocket launcher
and shoot one rocket. He will fall, and wait for him to get back up and
shoot again. All it takes is all four rockets, and you have him beat.
Hope this helps!
------------------------
III. Shakedown
------------------------
It's time to take control of Vice City. You need to go to North Point Mall
and try to scare the businesses to beg for protection because they already
know that Diaz is dead. You have 5 minutes to get to North Point Mall (in
Vice Point) Take the Infernus in front of the mansion and go to the mall.
The purple blips on your radar is where you need to go to and break every
single window on the store and there are a lot of them. A good strategy for
this is if you steal a bike and do a drive-by to every single window.
EMAIL FROM: JokeRulz
If you're having trouble completing this mission within the time limit, I
suggest you use the same strategy that I did. In one of the corners of
the mall on the bottom floor... (I'm not playing now so I can't tell you
exactly which one, but you'll see) there is an Infernus on display. Use
it to drive around the bottom floor of the mall and either drive-by the
windows or simply drive through them with your car. I was able to
complete the mission with plenty time to spare using this strategy. I hope
this helps. Good luck.
EMAIL FROM: M. Gevins
Pain in the butt mission. Anyway, from your mansion use either a helly or
that fast car out front. Make sure the RL is unlocked. Then race over to
the mall. I used side entrance on second straightaway. Go inside and make
a left towards the coffee shop, RL it with one shot. Then break out the
chainsaw, go nuts with the Gash. It should take one hit, stand diagonal to
the glass. Then from the upstairs, run down to the only other glass store
on the upstairs, middle I think, RL it. Jump down. RL 2x the jewelry place
and once for the record store. Should have it with 30 seconds to spare.
EMAIL FROM: Randy
Grab a dirt bike before starting this mission. The PCJ and the hog are not
as manueverable and this mission requires a bit of dexterity. Head over to
the mansion and start the mission. Once the clock starts ticking, jump on
the motorcycle and head over to the mall. Once you get to the mall, just
drive right in! From there, simply do a 'drive by' to all the windows and
you're done! The bike will make it up the escalators as well.
EMAIL FROM: Hughes
I've found that the best way to beat this mission is take the car from the
mansion (the one next to the Uzi) and drive directly to the mall. Do not
stop for a motorcycle or a second car. You should arrive with 3:30 left on
the clock. Once inside, make sure that you have the Uzi with at least 1000
bullets (better safe than sorry). They're cheap ($400) and I bought 3-4
guns from Ammunation before starting the mission. At any rate, just run up
to each of the businesses and destroy the windows and kill any of the police
officers that try to stop you. Most people will be concerned because the
Criminal Rating will spike to either 5-6 stars. Do not worry: As soon as
the mission is completed, the rating will drop back down to zero. This
mission is MUCH easier than it appears.
------------------------
IV. Bar Brawl
------------------------
In this mission, you need to take out the two men watching over the bar in
Ocean Beach, head there and simply do a drive-by on the two men and then
get in the pink aura to get the cut-scene going. A yellow blip will appear
on the radar, go there and I hope you got a bomb detonator or a grenade.
Just throw either one in the little compound area full of gang members and
you'll pass the mission, if one escapes, put him out.
------------------------
V. Cop Land
------------------------
A guy failed to connect the wires for the bomb in the mall and you need to
blow that place up. To do this, you need to disguise yourself and Lance as
cops. Simply bring up two Wanted Level stars to get a cop car or two to follow
you into the garage, which is the pink blip on your radar. After the beating,
Tommy and Lance will act like cops, its time to head to the mall and do some
shopping! Head inside the door that is CLOSEST to the pink blip in the mall.
Head inside and stand in the pink aura in the coffee store to get the bomb
all ready to go, but you have 5 seconds to get out of there! Once the place
explodes, your Wanted Level increases to 5 stars and that is not a good thing,
jump back in the car with Lance and DRIVE back to the mansion! do not stop for
a donut or anything.
EMAIL FROM: moo fasa
for the mission "Cop Land" the last Versetti mission where you and Lance
have to go and plant the bomb and then get away with 5 stars...etc... I
found this out by accident, but it worked both times I did it, since I died
the first time. If you jump off the balcony run fast enough (sprint) it
will tell you that "You left Lance behind" that is fine since the cops will
NOT attack him if he is NOT with you. This makes it so it's just you with
5 stars, and can grab the bribe right below the mall. 4 stars. I ran back
through the houses near where you got into garage there is a bribe there
(3 stars). With 3 stars all I had to do was steal a car and hit up the
paint and spray. NO MORE STARS. went back and walked up to lance who joins
you again and cruised back to my house with no problems. I died the first
time because I didn't bother to wear some armor before I went and set off
the bomb, so I ran out of life right at 3 stars, but tthe second time it
worked perfectly.

Start by driving to the lockup/garage on your map. Next drive up a few
blocks to where the police station is (there should be 3 or 4 cops
strolling around at least). Do a drive by shooting on the first cop you
see, automatically giving you a wanted level of 2. This should get a couple
of police cars chasing you (you need two police officers to follow you
because Lance will need a uniform aswell). Anyway drive to the garage, but
don't rush because you DON'T want to lose the cops... that's the point!
Pull up somewhere on the sidewalk, because you want them to follow you in
on foot to avoid complications with cars preventing the garage door from
closing (this screwed me up like 4 times). Once you're all decked out in
your pig skins find a helicopter. This is to prevent a next to impossible
car chase at the end of this mission by cop cars and big FBI Ranchers (they
are relentless)!!! The way I went about it was to go to my downtown condo
with the helipad (EVERYONE should have this if you're at this stage in the
game). Then I flew south to the downtown police station and landed on the
roof and switched to a police chopper. I'm not sure if you need to, I just
figured a normal chopper would draw attention. Anyway fly over to the mall
and next to the door closest to the coffee shop containing the bomb there
will be a small triangle shaped patch of grass that is more than enough to
land a helicopter on. Go in. Plant the bomb. Run. Take out the guard
outside the door on you're way out so he doesn't pull you out of the
chopper during those 5 seconds it takes to take off (happened to me the
first time I tried this strategy). Then fly home! You're protection ring
will be complete and you're money troubles are over!
EMAIL FROM: Mixedbag
As the first part of this mission is incredibly easy (getting the cops to
follow you into the garage), I'll just move on. The way that I did it was
to jack one of the police cheetah's (3 stars) as it seems a little faster
than a normal cheetah AND it is the ONLY police vehicle that can be
re-sprayed at a pay & spray. I parked it at El Swanko Casa's garage and
saved (before I started the mission). After getting the police uniforms, I
picked up the police cheetah and drove to the southeastern upper level
entrance of the mall. Park right outside the entrance, the car will still
be there when you come out. When you enter the mall, the "tarbrush cafe"
will be directly to your right. Run into the shop, do your thing and
immediately run out of the mall the way that you came in. Kill the one
police officer there, hop in the cheetah and drive straight to the end of
the ramp do a 180 and go past the lower level entrance to pickup the police
bribe there (to rid yourself of the pesky FBI) and high tail it to the
northern pay & spray (check your map). When I did it this way, not a single
police car was able to touch me. And thanks to the nifty siren, everybody
else got out of my way. Easy as pie.
EMAIL FROM: D. Levine
Once you get the cop uniforms a Sparrow generates in the field to the left
of the garage(left as in when you walk out go to the left, it's the area
that has the wooden fence with the gap) I noticed this because I parked my
Maverick there and it got replaced. You can fly this to the mall and park
it in the grass right outside the entrance where the coffee shop is(it's
the first entrance you see(the one of the right if you're coming from the
south). Just run in, bomb the place, run out, hop in the helicopter and
fly it to the front steps of the your Mansion.
------------------------
VI. Cap the Collector
------------------------
The old man at the PrintWork is getting beat up by Forelli's men, because
they know you are taking over Vice City. There are at least 4 to 6 men to
kill during this mission and they are all on their own bikes. Get a durable
car and don't let them take your tax! The first stop is the Boatyard, head
there! but they might have collected your tax already, but when they leave,
just gun or run them down! Sunshine Autos is their next location, then the
Malibu Club. You need to hurry because if they took tax from each one of
the assets you've own, you'll fail the mission.
EMAIL FROM: Rich
Ok, Apparently, Earnest gets roughed up by Forelli's crew, and now, the
mafia is taking over your business ventures, how pleasant isn't it? The
order they ( 3 pairs of Forelli's crew, 6 guys on Sanchez Cycles, i think )
went in when I played was:
1) Sunshine Auto, They arrive, Tax the place, and leave
2) The Malibu
3) Ice Cream factory
4) Kaufman Taxi's
5) Film Studio
6) Print works, I think
Anyway, a simple strategy for this, is stay in one place, and since the
collectors have to come by that place to try and tax it, you can easily
kill the three pairs of collectors. I do not recommend chasing them, as
they are on Sanchez bikes, and they do go fast, if you see them coming,
lock on to them, with an MP-5 and shoot them off. Once the mission is
over.
------------------------
VII. Keep Your Friends Close
------------------------
Well...last mission, Lance betrayed you and the mafia is after you. The first
thing you got to do is to defend your safe and not let anybody take it. A
shotgun or Colt Python or a Ruger is good for defending the safe from the mob.
after about 10-15 kills, Lance will run upstairs, you need to run after him
and kill him! he takes 3 shots. Your money will be draining while you are
going after Lance, don't worry if you have $150,000 but around $50,000, you
might. After you kill Lance, head back to the safe room and kill all of the
men in there and then watch the scene with Sonny. After that, head back in
the safe room and whip your shotgun or a Colt Python out and aim at all of
mafia and last, Sonny, he takes at least 5 shots. Game's over.
EMAIL FROM: Just a n0thing
Welp, the final mission before the credits. This mission made the final
story line mission in gta3 look bad. This mission can be tough because
you won't have the luxury of stealing a tank or anything to do it. It is
all on foot.
Before you start the mission you will need an assault rifle or sniper
rifle (give you a first person view when you aim). Hopefully you have
done the pizza missions and have 150 health. Also make sure you have
shield before you start.
Once the mission starts grab the pistol and stand at the edge of the
stairs. Mafia men will come in from the front door, first floor door on
the right, and the second floor door on the right. Just shoot them as
they walk in and they shouldn't hit you, but if they hit you once it should
be okay. After 10+ of these guys a scene with Lance will start.
As soon as the scene with Lance gets over run to the stairs on the right.
Shoot Lance once and run after him. DON'T STOP. As soon as you get close
he will run away. Don't look back and follow him all the way to the roof.
Now when you get to the roof run up the ramp to the right of the helipad.
You will take some damage on your way to the helipad. Once you are up
there slowly approach the edge of the helipad. DON'T GO TO THE END OF IT
THOUGH. When you see a mafia man's head, pull out either the assault rifle
or sniper rifle and shoot them. If you do this correctly, you should get
about 4 head shots. Next is Lance. Slowly approach the edge of the
helipad to the left of a barrel that is centered next to the little guard
rail. As soon as you can see Lance's head, creap a little bit closer and
you should be able to see his shoulders. Now shoot him.
**IF YOU GET TO CLOSE TO FAST, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SHOOT YOU!!!**
So make sure not to just run up there. Now after Lance you will probably
have one more guy down there. Make sure you don't aim at the red barrels,
they will explode and that is bad for your health. There is a health power
up there if you need it.
Now for the tricky part. Run back down and head to the middle of the
balcony directly across from the safe. Shoot the men inside the safe room
and head to the door to the room with the safe. A little scene will come
on. Now immediately disperse of Sonny's two guards. As soon as you kill
them both, RUN as fast as you can down the steps trying your hardest not to
get hit by Sonny. You need to get to the room which has the health and
armor in it. It is the small room with the bar in it (down the stairs and
to the left). After grabbing the armor and health use the colt to shoot
Sonny. Took me 5+ shots.
Thats how I finished the mission. It was tough and it took me a while to
get a good strategy. But it worked in the long run. I definetly
reccomend trying to do the pizza missions before you try this because the
150 health saved me in the long run. Good fun and good luck.
EMAIL FROM: MScottH
Stay in the office untill it tells you to go get lance . When you leave the
office have the mp-5. After the cut scenene go away from lance. Go to the
stairs and go up. Kill all who stand in your way. Autotargeting weapons
here are nice and I recomend the SPAZ-12 once you get in the stairway. Go
up to the roof. MP-5 recomended here! Run to the adrenilin once you get
there, then run to the health but you shouldnt need it yet. Sniper rifle
here. Creep forward and snipe everyone. Lance takes 3 shots. Explosives
are an option here, they just stand there 'till they have a clear shot.
Mabee they shoot but it doesnt matter. so you killed all lances budies...
time to deal with the boss... The trigger here is going into the office.
Set it off and tear out of there!!! Go upstairs and then downstairs and put
your armor and health up to 100. Then go OUTSIDE not up. The resistance is
light! Kill them all (MP-5 or SPAS-12) DESTROY THE LIMOSINES!! M-60!!! No
more backup! Walk throuugh the front door and he has his back turned!
CUT HIM DOWN!! Mabee its not so easy but I cut him down with the m-60.
EASY!
EMAIL FROM: Rich
Ok, Lance calls you on the cell phone and tells you that there is a problem,
and you need to get over there right away. First, when you arrive at the
mansion, get all the weapons you can from outside, Trust me, you WILL need
them in this mission. The cut scene starts out with Rosenberg, Lance, and
Vercetti, talking about how the Forelli's are coming from up north. A
second cut scene shows that Lance is in fact, A TRAITOR. He was working
for the Forelli's all along.
The mission starts with you guarding your safe from mobsters. An easy way
to do this, is have the Python out or the MP-5 out. Then, when you leave
the room after wasting 6 mafia members, you have to kill Lance. You shoot
him, he runs up the stairs to the roof of the mansion. Word of Advice,
Take out the Red barrels, first, and use the Minigun ( You should have it
if you have 60 packages or beat Phil Cassidy's missions ). This is where
it might get confusing: As you are trying to kill Lance, the Mafia will be
robbing your safe. At a certain point, when your health is below 50, go to
the basement, get health, and armor, and the shotgun and the M4. Go back
to the roof, and run to the left side of the roof. You should be on the
helipad, with Lance below you. Kill Lance, and head back downstairs.
Another cutscene should start, and you now have to Kill Sonny Forelli.
The Mafia will continue robbing your safe, but go down, and kill Sonny
first. Try the Minigun, or take a position upstairs and trying sniping
him, if that doesn't work, use the machinegun, and lock onto him. After
you kill Sonny, a cut-scene opens up, with Rosenberg, and Vercetti, and you
have just beat Vice City.
( Note: Whenever you get low on health, run down stairs to the basement,
get health and armor and head back up )
EMAIL FROM: Jeff
best weapon to have is the spaz shotgun...but grenades and perhaps the M-60
are helpful too. 150 ammo is necessary for the shotgun too. when you have
to get somewhere in a hurry, switch your weapon to the pistol or MP-5
temporariliy.
as soon as it starts, run out and dispatch the people coming in no problem
using auto target on the shotgun. after that lance will challenge you. now,
he's very accurate and will tear your body armor to shreds if you give him a
chance. RUN to the right side and shoot him once, he will run off. clear a
path for yourself and run after him. he'll stop at the end of the corner
once, again, and also stop on the stairs. just run out and shoot him once as
quick as you can. be quick as men might come from behind you. now on the
top level, run to the left (as men come from behind you if you linger there)
and get the adrenaline pill. kill lance's men and then lance, a 7 round
shotgun clip will take him out.
now, if you need ANY armor at all, go to the basement or the side room and
get it now. 100 armor/health is very advisable. you can also go around
the house and take out the limos using the shotgun or the M-60 if you like
(this prevents men taking your money from your office), just don't go back
to your office until you're ready.
when you are, go there, and sonny will come after you with two guys right
by him, and many more coming soon. RUN up the stairs and around until you
are right above the door where sonny is. from there, take out sonny's two
men who run after you, and any more who go for the safe. then, either drop
a couple grenades right on him, or run to the side and unload a complete 7
round clip on him. careful...he can't hit you from that spot above the
doorway, but he as soon as you go to the left or right stairs. he has a
ruger and he's accurate as, well, as much as the boss of the game is gonna
be. after you take him down, enjoy the cinematics.

3.6 - Rock Band Missions
------------------------
I. Love Juice
------------------------
The Love Fist wants you to go get some drugs for them called "Love Juice".
On your radar is a pink blip, go there and drive your fast car or motorcycle
and enter the pink aura, then beep the horn. A guy will come up and take your
money and not give you the drugs. Chase down after him and his PCJ-600 and
run him over. He has a shotgun with him, so watch out. After the dealer is
dead, take the briefcase and then you get a call asking you to pick up
Mercedes so that the Love Fist can have some company. So, go pick Mercedes
up and you have a time of 1:30 (1 minute, 30 seconds) to get her to the
band and the drugs too before they go on stage.
EMAIL FROM: M16
Love Fist wand some drugs so take a fast like a Banshee and park it in a
way so it is easy to get out of that little ally. (ie: back it in) The guy
will come and take you money and try to getaway on a PCG 600. Catch up
with your fast and knock him off the bike and run him over. You will get a
call telling you to pick up a girl for them. Take the briefcase and get on
his PCG 600. The PCG 600 is good for this last part of the mission because
you can weave through cars go pick her up and now you will have a minute
and 30 seconds to get her back to the VRock station. She hops on the PCG
600 and go down the ramp and take a right. That should be the route that
goes past Leaf Links Golf Course. This route is fast and if there are any
cars just weave though them. If your going fast enough you should make it
there with 20 seconds to spare with no problem.
EMAIL FROM: Rich M.
The best way I've found to get the guy off of the bike is to not try to
keep with him in traffic (as he weaves a lot), but instead to use your Uzi
(or MAC10) and keep shooting while maintaining a comfortable distance
behind him. When a stray bullet hits him, he'll be off the bike and dead,
leaving you free to pick up the "stuff" and go get the girl.
------------------------
II. Psycho Killer
------------------------
There is a stalker going after the band abd the band is afraid when they heard
that this stalker is going to kill them. Jump in the Love Fist limo and go to
the pink aura next to the pizza place. Watch the scene here and one of the
fans is the stalker. He or she will jump into the car and drive away. You need
to keep an eye on this car for this whole mission because it won't appear
on your radar. Try to get it in flame before it goes anywhere else. There
seems to be more cars on the road for this mission as well.
EMAIL FROM: C. Farthing
In the Lovefist 'Psycho Killer' Mission, you are supplied with a stretch
limo to chase and kill the Lovefist stalker. He escapes in a fast car
and you have to catch him. Your stretch is slightly faster than his car
but the handling isn't as good, and you have to keep up as there is no
'blip' on the map. What you really need is a faster car with better
handling, but which also can take plenty of damage. Fortunately, in the
alley behind the signing event venue is an FBI Washington, which fits
the bill perfectly. So, start the mission in the stretch, drive to the
venue but stop just short of the pink beam, get out and steal the
Washington, bring it back to where the stalker makes his getaway from,
get out of the Washington leaving the door open, back into the stretch,
and drive into the pink beam. Now when he drives off, hop into the
Washington and give chase. Avoid the trashmaster just before Ammunition
and you should soon be able to do him over.
EMAIL FROM: A. MacDonald
Simplest method of all -> Grab a PCG 600 or a Sanchez (I prefer a Sanchez
for maneuverability) and park it beside where the pink beam appears. When
the psycho drives off, get out of the limo, and hop on your bike. Now
proceed to leisurely shoot up the psychos car until it explodes. If he
gets out, hop of the bike, target him with an uzi type, and let rip. Easy.
------------------------
III. Publicity Tour
------------------------
Love Fist wants to go on a tour and they need you to drive the car. The
Love Fist limo is packed with a bomb that will explode the car if you
drive too slow or stop. Have you ever watched the movie Speed? with the bus?
just like that. If not, you need to stay on the gas for about 2 minutes or
close around there until a member in the band disarm the bomb. After that,
take the band to the stage in Downtown.
EMAIL FROM: Mark
For "Publicity Tour", there is a place where you can safely drive around
for a bit while the worthless Love Fist guys defuse the bomb. From the
start of the mission, immediately make a u-turn and go towards the
stadium/racing ring (you may need to familiarize yourself with its
location before-hand). You can go around the back of the ring without
encountering any traffic (except for briefly getting back on the small
straightaway that's directly in front of the ring). You don't even have
to go that fast; if you see the detonation meter start to fill up, just
accelerate a bit more. Anyway that's the easiest way I've found to do it.
EMAIL FROM: Rich M.
Rather than swinging a U-turn and then getting onto the dirt ring you can
carry on straight ahead. The left turn ahead is a pretty gentle curve that
is best taken at speed (with little risk of spinning out) by heading for
the inside curb. This road takes you onto the main, 4-lane road that
stretches clear to the South side. Keep to the right on this road and it
will curve slowly right and then start to come back on itself. By the time
you've come back around the South curve Love Fist (incompetent wankers that
they are) should have defused the bomb. Then it's a leisurely trip back to
the Stadium for the big gig.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.7 - Biker Missions
------------------------
I. Alloy Wheels of Steel
------------------------
Go inside the Greasy Chopper and meet Mitch Baker, the biker. He will give
you respect if you can handle the motorcycle. Go outside and get on the Angel
or the Freeway, your choice, and then get in the pink aura to start the
race. Now, here are the rules... no shooting or hitting the other bikers
or you will lose the race. You need to go from checkpoint to checkpoint
and TAKE IT EASY when you go on a turn. The other bikers will just run straight
in the wall and tumble and all that other stuff. You can easily win this race
if you haven't fall off the motorcycle. So, like I said, if you have to take a
turn, then go SLOW.
EMAIL FROM: Robert M.
Here is another way to finish the "Alloy wheels of Steel" mission. When
the mission starts and the other bike riders are at the starting point, do
not get on a bike right away. Go and find the biggest cars/vans/trucks you
can find, go around the block so that your vehicles are facing the other
bike riders, and park your vehicles in a straight line in front of them.
Do not touch the riders with the vehicles, and do not go too far away to
find vehicles, or the ones you have already parked in front of the bike
riders might disappear; but as long as you dont use too many or leave an
area of a block or two from the starting point you should be ok. Also, the
most important points are dont leave any gaps in front of the riders, and
dont use any really small vehicles, like other motorcycles, to block the
riders. Otherwise, they'll blow right thru your road block. As long as
you use normal-sized cars, usually only two or three, you should be ok.
Finally, make sure you leave a small gap on the far lefthand side of the
sidewalk near where your motorcycle starting point is. Then, get on a bike
and goto your starting point. If all goes well, you can laugh as you
breifly see the other riders slam into the parked cars as you go flying
thru your gap. They probably wont fall off their bikes, but they will get
turned over or around enough to give you a huge lead, I basically coasted
with a 2:11 time and won the race with no other riders in sight (I even
fell off 2 times).
EMAIL FROM: AaneoaA
When u get out of the bar, there are 3 bikers waiting for u to race them.
There are also 2 bikes standing on the sidewalk dont take one of these
bikes! but instead walk up to the bikers that are waiting for u to start the
race, not to close however.....when you`re near them press the /\ Triangle
button to knock one of `em of his bike and steal it. The race will start
immedeately after that, but hey who cares right? Now u only have 2 guys
to worry about instead of 3!
At first i thought it was just plain luck....but i tried it a couple of
times and it works like a charm. The trick is to stand not to close and
yet not to far away from the bikers when u press the triangle button
EMAIL FROM: LordVegeta88
The easiest way to win this is to put 2 vans sideways across the road in
front of the 3 riders. Also, do NOT go in the pink. The race will also start
if u hit one of the other bikes with yours, therefore the easiest way is to
go back a little, not far because there is a turn right ahead. Just
accelerate past the slow start up and tap into the rider on the right. Go
around the roadblock through the sidewalk. The key to winning now is not
speed but stability. Make no crashes and this race is yours. An alternative
to the tap is shooting out tires.
------------------------
II. Messing with The Man
------------------------
Mitch wants you to be the biggest baddest person in Vice City. To do this, you
need to stir up a riot and get your Chaos level filled up. You have 2 minutes
to stir up a large riot. To get the meter to go up, you need to kill people,
shoot at cars, etc. The easiest way to beat this mission quickly is if you
rack up 6 stars before doing this mission and steal a tank and then drop it
off at the Hyman Condo, then save. Take the tank out and go to the Greasy
Chopper to start the mission, then all you got to do now is drive.
EMAIL FROM: Mark
Before even beginning "Messing With the Man," I always park about 3-4 cars
in front of Mitch's Bar. Also, it's good to have a shitload of health and
armor, a lot of M4 ammo, and a lot of spaz ammo (all of which except the
health can be gotten at the ammunation on the left island). After the
cutscene that initiates the mission, immediately take out the spaz and
begin destroying the 3-4 parked cars in front of the bar (note that the
spaz fires pretty rapidly if you hold down the x button). This should move
your chaos meter up a bit and bring some cops. Run to the northeast
(up-right) of Mitch's bar (if you're facing away from it) to where a wall
and an opening is. If you look in the alley to the left of the opening,
you'll find body armor. Save it for when you start taking some major
damage. Now get your wanted level up to at least 3 stars (should be easy
with your arsenal). Continue to use the spaz on all the cop cars and cops
themselves. For the cars, don't use the auto-aim, but do use the auto-aim
for the cops (R1 and cycle using L2/R2). When the police maverick
(helicopter) comes, take it out using your M4 (takes a while but your chaos
meter will jump). Your chaos meter should be about 2/3 or 3/4 full by
now. After taking out the helicopter, switch to your spaz and finish the
job. Remember the body armor if you need it. *The most important thing to
remember is that blowing up cars fills up your chaos meter infinitely
quicker than killing people.* You will retain your wanted level after the
mission is done, so get the hell out of there.
EMAIL FROM: MScottH
Save at Scumhole shack. Get your wanted level up to 3 or 4 before
you start the mission and immediately run up to scumhole shack after you
regain control. Kill all the vehicles (especially hellicopters) except
ambulances. Use an M-60 and the MP-5. When I passed the first time I
jacked an FBI Rancher but there was an Fbi guy onboard. He cried all the
way to pay and spray, and then back to the mansion. I got out and shot
him, went upstairs and saved. I use the m-60 instead of the rocket launcher
because if you shoot the rocket launcher to close to the edge of a
building, through a railing, or at a target that is close, you die. The
m-60 is much more forgiving! Wish you could use elevation on the chaingun.
Its realy only usefull in a garage!
EMAIL FROM: Golfmaster
The easiest way to beat this mission is to first acquire the flamethrower
at the star shaped pool by diaz's mansion, then park a couple cars in
front of the biker bar place. After that get the mission and then start
using the flamethrower on the cars and the people on the sidewalks, your
bar should go up super fast and you should have it beat within 15 to 30
seconds.
EMAIL FROM: Deoji
I discovered this little trick and it makes the mission ridiculously easy.
Before accecpting mission load up on rocket launchers (in the pool behind
Hooker Inn in Vice Port) then start the mission killing pedestrians. I
stood on the staircase on the way to shack. once a cop shows up switch to
the rocket launcher and blow up his squad car. now here is the trick keep
shooting the destroyed cop car and your chaos meter shoots right up. The
game doesnt recognize that the squad car is already destroyed I completed
the mission with 45 secends to spare.
------------------------
III. Hog Tied
------------------------
Mitch tells you that you that a local gang stole his bike and he needs you
to go get it back for him. After that, a scene shows you the Ammu-Nation and
the long stairway across the street from it, are you thinking what I'm
thinking? Yeah? For real? then go do it! First off, make sure you have a
good gun like an Uzi or Tec-9 and get on a bike, not a moped. Go to the
yellow blip on your radar then you need to be at full-speed on your bike to
go up that long stairway to get onto the top of the Ammu-Nation. Some gang
members will be up there, kill them, then go down the stairs on the opposite
side and then kill the rest of the gang down there. Grab Mitch's bike and then
bring it back to him!
EMAIL FROM: Rich M.
I've heard a lot of people complain about the Cuban roadblocks between
where you rescue the bike and the Greasy Chopper. I found an easy way to
get there bypassing all that noise. Simply ride around to the street that
runs East from the Love Fist studio (the one with the Ammunation on it).
This takes you to the bridge that leads to prawn Island. Just to the right
side of that bridge is a gap between the bridge itself and the building on
the street. Take the bike through this gap, turn right and you're on your
way to the Greasy Chopper totally unmolested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.8 - Umberto Robina
------------------------
I. Stunt Boat Challenge
------------------------
It may sounds and looks like an easy mission to pass, but it's not. You
need to go from checkpoint to checkpoint then turn around and go all the way
back to the start. Several checkpoints requires you to use the ramp to reach
it. You may get stuck on the land when you jump up off the first ramp, I know
I did and wasted at least 1 minute. So, to get pass this successfully, steer
your boat easily and when you are going in a turn, release the gas then turn
left or right then press the gas again after that.
------------------------
II. Cannon Fodder
------------------------
Stop by Cafe Robina's for the 2nd time to get involved some ground action!
shooting involved! Interested? Make sure you have a Sniper Rifle and an
Uzi or some kind of a machine gun, and also make sure your armor and health
meter is full. Pick up a van or a Greenwood driving around because you'll
bring some Cubans with you. Drive down to the pink marker and you'll be in
for some action. Take out the car and whoever is leftover behind the car to
get pass the first part of this mission quickly. Three Cubans will be rushing
down in the alley and all of the sudden their head got blown off! ah! there's
a sniper on the roof up ahead, take him out and the Haitians in the alley
as well. Keep going until you reach the big area full of Haitians, take all
of them out and then take the van and drive it back to Cafe Robina's
EMAIL FROM: N. Mallikarjuna
I had a lot of trouble with this mission until I figured out the following
strategy:
First, you'll take a lot of damage during this mission from gunfire so make
sure you have max body armor and health. I recommend going to a prostitute
before the mission so your health is 125.
Get in your four door vehicle and pick up the Cubans, then drive to where
the Haitians are. After the short cinematic, get back in the car and drive
forward and left, behind the building the Cubans are using for cover. From
here you can see the car the Haitians are hiding behind, but you can't hit
the Haitians, who are behind the wall (but you see the arrows above
pointing to them.) Use the Rocket Launcher to blow up the car, killing the
Haitians nearby. Wait a second or two for more Haitians to come, then use
the Rocket Launcher on the car again. The explosion will kill a few more
Haitians. There should only be two or three Haitians left behind the wall.
Jump onto your car (this is why you brought it) so you can see over the
wall, and take care of the other two (or maybe lob some grenades over
the wall).
The second short cinematic will occur, and now you have to kill the sniper.
Use the Rocket Launcher or a sniper rifle to kill the sniper. That's
usually the easiest part.
Now comes the part that gave me a lot of trouble. I sustianed too much
damage from the Haitians trying to kill them. The solution: don't try to
kill them. Just hide behind a building, clear of any gunfire (from the
Haitians or from the Cubans). The Cubans will do the job for you, killing
all the Haitians. Just watch the yellow blips on the small corner map
disappear.
The next cinematic appears, and now you have a van to steal a bunch of
Haitians coming after you. The best thing to do is to use a manual
targeting assault rifle to blow away as many Haitians as possible. They're
all in a group so you can kill a lot at once, since it only takes one shot
from the assault rifle to kill someone. Once you've killed a bunch of
Haitians and the gunfire has eased up, get in the van and drive out,
running over any Haitians in the way. Then drive back to the bar.
You'll have two stars so the cops will be on you, but don't drive to fast
and wreck the van. Once you're back the cops disappear.
------------------------
III. Naval Engagement
------------------------
Umberto wants you to go grab the shipment from the Haitians and kill them.
Grab a car and go meet Rico near Vice Port. Now, Rico's boat is full of
holes and it won't hold for long, You need a good weapon for this type
of business. You got at least 10 Haitians on the dock and some more on the
boats. Take the ones on the boat out and then Rico will get you on the dock.
Got a sniper rifle? good, take all of them men out and then grab the two
briefcases (yellow blips) and then GET OUT OF HERE!! why? because once Rico's
boat explodes, you automatically get 4 Wanted Stars for that, just jack a fast
car and head back to Umberto's place to complete this mission!
EMAIL FROM: Ling
After destroying the two Haitian boats and the men on the dock/by the house,
you will probably have a wanted level of 2 by then. Don't collect the
briefcases yet. Instead, run out to the street, take any car, avoid the
cops, and drive to the nearest Pay N' Spray (the one on the same street as
Cherry Poppers). With your wanted level gone, you can take your time to
steal the fastest car possible (preferably Cheetah), and park it next to
the briefcases. When your wanted level shoots up to 4, you now have an
immediate escape with a fast car, which you can again take to Pay N' Spray
without much police hassle to complete the mission.
EMAIL FROM: joyful alom
First you have to be equipped with the right weapons. so the best weapons
are the M4 and the sniper rifle or PSG1. then when you meet rico out in the
dock there will be a short cutscene. Rico will drive you to the haitians
boat. then a message in bold will come saying: KILL ALL THE HAITIANS ON THE
BOAT! do wot it says. but just before you start going get out ur M4 then
get good aim on the Haitians on the dock then shot about 3 or four bullets.
by now the Haitians will be all shooting at you. so just aim at the Haitians
on the boat and take them out. even if your aim is not good enough the boat
will burst in flames.
Ok now for the next part. when you get on land your on your own. now get a
gun like a handgun so you can run fats enough.then run to the other side.
where there is a wall then a tree. they will shoot at you but most likely
miss most shots. now its time to play sniper. get out your sniper or PSG1
then just shoot them down. there is one on the roof one near the door and
one behind the bush you will eventually find them. its best to shoot them
all so there is no interference. then collect the drugs. there will be 2
Haitians shooting at you so just take them out. then there is no escape and
you will now have 4 stars. then just run into the front. and you will be in
starfish Island. just take a car to your mansion. then get the clothes to
decrease your wanted level. now you will have 2 stars to make your ride
easier to umberto then the misson is finished
EMAIL FROM: LordVegeta88
Have a rocket launcher handy for this mission. When you are told to
kill all the haitians on boats, shoot a rocket at the boat on the right.
Then duck for a second or go ahead and shoot the other boat. Using a
colt python kill off the near guys and head for cover. Since the Uzi has
better range take out the guys shooting you with that. Then use a manual
aim gun to pick off the remaining guys. Do not skip the guy on the roof
or the guy hiding behind the corner on the right side of the building,
his shotgun hurts. Pick up the briefcases and drive/run to your
mansion. The easiest choice now is to take the helicopter back to the cafe.
You could take a stored car or the Infernus and either drive to the Pay n
Spray or the cafe, whichever is easier for you.
------------------------
IV. Trojan Voodoo
------------------------
Pick up a Voodoo first (there is one out in front of Auntie Poulet's house)
and then head back to where Umberto is. He wants you to blow up the Haitian'
compound. Get in the Voodoo and Pepe will come with you to go meet Rico outside
the compound. Follow Rico in the compound and you need to set 3 bombs up
inside the compound. Don't worry about the Haitians since the Cubans will take
care of them, just worry about the bomb and the timer. When you plant the first
bomb on the right, you have 1 minute to plant two more bombs in the place and
leave. The second place to plant the bomb is around the corner and the third
place is up on the 2nd floor. You will have about 20-30 seconds left on your
clock, leave IMMEDIATELY! You can take the Voodoo, but you can't leave the
compond because the gate is closed. In the area where the gate is while you
are running on foot, turn right and right again to go up the steps to get on
top of the building. Watch the compound crumbles into pieces and you will be
given $10,000!
EMAIL FROM: Ryan S.
I found this mission to be much easier if instead of going straight to
arming the bombs, you first kill all the Haitians. The easiest way to do
so, I think, is to immediately run over/drive-by all the Haitians before
parking in the pink blip. Then, do not leave your vehicle when instructed,
and instead, run over the Haitians that have appeared since you parked. It
is easy to enter the building and run over/drive-by these Haitians, too.
After you've killed all the Haitians, it is much easier to arm all the
bombs and escape to the roof in time.
EMAIL FROM: Randy
When setting the bombs, be sure to set the bomb on the second floor (the
one farthest away) first. Set the second bomb under the stairs next and
save the one next to the door for last. Will keep you from getting
blown up before you reach cover.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.9 - Auntie Poulet
------------------------
I. Juju Scramble
------------------------
Auntie Poulet wants you to go pick up some stashes for her before the cops
get to it. There are 3 stashes and they aren't very far from here. Jack a car
and go to where the yellow blip is on the radar and it is a good idea to
park it next to the ramp that leads up to the roof where the 1st stash is.
Grab it and a spy will catch you and you'll get 2 Wanted Stars. Run out of
here and get back in your car and go to where the 2nd stash is, just stop right
next to it so when you get out of the car, it'll take you 1 millisecond to
get it and then jump right back in the car and drive over to the last stash,
and be careful now! you got 4 Wanted Stars! If the cops or SWAT catch your car
on fire, just immediately leave the car and run to the 3rd stash and run back
to Auntie Poulet via several shortcuts. Don't take the main road or side roads
because the Police cars and Enforcers are all over the street.
EMAIL FROM: A. Raja
On this mission you should do it in a police car as the police get a bit
confussed when they are chasing you, and this gives you a bit of breathing
space
EMAIL FROM: serbian55
Firstly steal a bike, any really just get your favourite, and head over to
the first pick-up site. Ride the bike up the ramp next to the building and
park it next to the package. get off, watch the cut scene, than get bake on
your bike and ride to the next package. After picking it up go in the
direction of the next package. As you'll have 4 stars pick up the police
bribe thats located in the ally on the way to the third package. Now you're
back in the Haitian area, head strait across the road into the housing site.
Now waste the rest of the time you have left just running around, but make
sure you're close to the package (Get off the bike). When there's about
five seconds left run for the package. After the time runs out shoot the
guy who picks up the package wit your Mac-10 or Uzi and run over to his
body and press L1. Now you have the drugs and a new MP-5 (this is the best
SMG in the game). Try it out if you want, or run back into the houses you
just came from. Don't sprint when in-between the houses (you'll need it
later). When you're thru the houses hit the sprint button (X) and run to
the red blip.
------------------------
II. Bombs Away!
------------------------
This time, Poulet wants you to destroy the Cuban boats out around Starfish
Island. Drive over to where the Top Fun van is and then enter it. You'll be
driving the RC Baron plane. You need to go over to where the Cubans are and
drop a bomb on them by pressing the O (circle) button. Destroy the three
boats and their getaway car and that's it. The only hard part is controlling
the little plane.
EMAIL FROM: Circle Tilde
Instead of trying to waste your time and efforts attempting to bomb the
boats and car.. just fly the first plane over to the Cubans and LAND the
plane in the large backyard where the Cuban car is parked at. Then all you
have to do is (while STILL on the ground) run into the men on the ground.
This will kill them after a bit, and they are too stupid not to do anything
about it. After all of the men are dead, you can then focus your efforts on
blowing up the boats. Just drive the plane off the pier onto one of the
boats (preferably the middle one) and release the bomb. You are unable to
release it while you are on the ground so you must time the release
carefully as you fall off the edge of the pier.
EMAIL FROM: Ryan S.
Because the RC Plane is so difficult to accurately control, and the bombs
are so difficult to deliver accurately, I found this mission to be much
easier if you first kill all the Cubans on the dock beside their boat
before you drop any bombs. To do so, land your RC plane behind the house
and taxi to the dock area. All that is required is to run over each Cuban
a few times (depends on speed) until they stay motionless and a pool of
blood begins to form under them. Be careful not to fall into the water, and
also, try to avoid pushing the Cubans (if you do not hit them fast enough,
the plane will only push them) into their boats. Once you've killed all the
Cubans, you can take off and begin bombing the boats (now much easier
because they are stationary, as no one is there to flee with them).
------------------------
III. Dirty Lickin's
------------------------
Poulet wants you to go help her boys out (the Haitians) and help them beat the
Cubans. They have their own surprise, but you have a better one. Tommy will grab
the sniper rifle off the table. You don't need a car, just turn left out of
Poulet's house and go to that spot on the roof, but you might want to take the
Adrenaline pill below the step. Step in the pink aura and snipe off all the
Cubans (wearing a shirt with a red cirle on it or they wear tan clothes). A
van of four Cubans will pull up later, take them four out as well. 7 more
Cubans will be rushing across the field from the north and kill them all to
complete the mission.
EMAIL FROM: Nigel D.
I reckon Dirty Lickens is tougher than it looks but the best way to do this
is to start the mission by running from Poulet's shack, pick up the
adrenaline pill and start with the sniper rifle. It's dead tough to get the
reinforcements with the sniper though, due to the slow reload. If you land
a rocket in the middle of the seven cubans as they run across in front of
you, it takes all seven out, leaving you just a couple of shots to finish
off the remaining Cubans with the sniper rifle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.10 - Phil Cassidy
------------------------
I. Gun Runner
------------------------
A simple mission, a Mexican gang has the goodies and Phil wants you to go
take it from them. There are at least 4 trucks called Walton that has the
goodies in the back, and you need to ram into the truck hard enough for the
package to drop out from the back and then pick it up. The Mexicans will go
after you in the truck, but it wouldn't be a big deal if you have a drive-by
type gun on you.
EMAIL FROM: GTA-Nut
After completing the Malibu Club assets, the Phil levels are open. For this
level, Phil wants you to take out some arms dealers. Take his patriot and
head left or right, its your preferance. Ram one of the vans at full speed
and if necessary tap it more till it drops the weapon. Once it does, get out
and collect the weapon (you may need to use L1 to switch weapons) but be
careful! The van you just rammed will come back for another assault. If you
can, destroy it, as you will need to later anyway. The next vehicle will
have a gunner on the back, so be careful. Use the same ramming tactic, but i
wouldn't get out due to the gunner until you have destroyed them. Try to
attack them with your Uzi drive-by style. Once you have collected the first
two packages, they will call for backup. Don't panic, its just a few idiots
on bikes with dangerous guns. If you're in a car, you can smack em down
easily (you get $100 bonus for each guy you kill) but if you walk, you are
an easy target. Try to ignore them and focus on the weapon carriers. Don't
forget you need to destroy the vehicles also. If you need more armour in
this level (i know i did a few times) try to find where the two armours are
in this area. One near the Greasy Biker area in a garage near the road and
the other in the stairway of the entrance to the boatyard area. Take your
time on this mission and don't rush it and you will pass it fine.
------------------------
II. Boomshine Saigon
------------------------
The dizziest mission ever. Watch the hilarious scene of drunk Phil trying
to set off a bomb. After that, with Phil's bleeding and you drunk, you need
to drive Phil to the hospital and the driving isn't that easy at all. The
screen will wavers back and forth while you are driving and its really
hard for you to focus on the road. As long as you don't turn too much on the
straight roads, no problem. When you arrive at the hospital, Phil tells you
that he doesn't wanna go in there because of cops so he will tell you to
go to the place in Little Havana, which isn't far from the hospital.
EMAIL FROM: GTA-Nut
An easy level. Phil, being the idiot he is, gets drunk on paint stripper and
messes around with a bomb....you can guess what happens. Take him to the
hospital not far down the road on the right. Sounds simple? You're drunk
also, as Phil says, 'The road is like jelly'. The best bet is to use the
screen to look out for cars and use tha radar to position where you are
going. Once you get closer, the drunken effect wears off abit, so you should
be able to go it normally. Once you've done this, you've completed the
Phil's assets! You can now buy all kinds of seriously powerful hardware from
this guy. For just two missions, its worth it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone Missions
------------------------
P.1 - Phone Mission #1 (Road Kill)
------------------------
It is up to you to go to the payphone or move on to your next objective.
Anyway, you need to kill Carl Pearson, the pizza delivery man. He is the
yellow dot moving around on your radar. Kill him or run him over to get
$500.
------------------------
P.2 - Phone Mission #2 (Waste the Wife)
------------------------
Another hands-on mission, go to the pink blip on your radar with a car that
has a strong body and doesn't rock too much. Wait for Mrs. Dawson to leave
the Jewelry store. You have to make this mission to act like Mrs. Dawson was
killed in a car accident. Ram your car into the car she's in until it burst
into flame. Yo can also wait when her car go around on a turn and you can
ram your car into the side of her car and make it flip over, this will get
it to expode as well. You will collect $2000 for this.
EMAIL FROM: Neon Meow!
In the Waste the Wife mission, you aren't allowed to use guns to kill her.
But that doesn't stop you from using guns to shoot out her tires, making
her unable to drive properly. You'll need to follow her without hitting
her, and wait until she stops at a red light. Then hop out of your car,
shoot her tires with any gun that lets you go to 1st person view, and
enjoy the show. You still need to hit her to do actual damage to the car,
but she will not be able to get away if your car catches on fire first.
EMAIL FROM: LordVegeta88
The easy way to do this is to park a car in poor condition in front of
the wife's car. Then simply shoot your car with a manual aim gun until
it catches fire. Step back and watch the fireworks as u collect your
reward.
------------------------
P.3 - Phone Mission #3 (Autocide)
------------------------
Some European gang has come in town and planned to rob the bank. The boss
didn't want this to happen, so you need to kill each member of the gang. Some
can be found in a high spot where you have to use the sniper rifle. The first
person is Mark Griffon and he is standing up high on the advertising billboard,
you need to whip out your sniper rifle to kill him. Your next target is Dick
Tanner and he is working for DBP Security in Ocean Drive, head over there and
you'll see him in the Securicar. Either exit out of the vehicle and pull him
out of the car and kill him or ram his Securicar down. Your next target are
Franco Carter and Marcus Hammond, both of them are in the Bobcat. After you
take both fo them out, Nick Kong is your next target and he's just laying
back in his boat, take him out too! Your last target is Charlie Dilson on
his ultra-fast PCJ-600, if you are still riding the PCJ-600 and have the Uzi
in your hand, you can press O while on the motorcycle behind Dilson to take
him out. If you are not on the PCJ-600, then go rob a top performance car like
the Cheetah or Infernus and run him over with it. Best weapon? Sniper rifle for
the first four men.
EMAIL FROM: Firestorm
First, run to the arm cache and take the sniper. Use the bike or take a
FAST car.
Go to the first blip, Go out your car and use the sniper rifle to kill
the first target. This one's an easy one since he cannot spot you!
Drive to the other target now. To avoid being spotted by him or the cops,
go through the back alley (almost where the mission "Guardian Angels" took
place), aim at his head and kill him inside his car.
Now drive to the 2 other guys, don't drive in front of them, but go around.
On the street right in front of them, there is a stair case. Go there and
aim for the driver, be sure to kill him with one good shot. The other guy
will come out, you know what to do.
The next target is relaxing on a boat. Drive past the blip (you should
cross a bridge). Go near the water and shoot him, easy as ABC.
The last one may be a problem since it's a moving target on a bike. Try
not to be seen and wait for him to drive near you. I found that the best
way to kill him is to get a fast car and ram it. When he's on the ground,
just kill him with any weapon!!
Be careful, the cops may be on to you very soon if you shoot your rifle
near a crowed area !! Be sure to always conceal yourself and use
backalleys!
EMAIL FROM: Dan
Get the sniper and uzi and hop on the motorcycle parked right next to where
those guns are. Drive over to the billboard guy, snipe him and then head
over to the guy in the security van. Because you have the uzi and are on
a motorcycle, its easiest just to follow him and shoot at his car. You'll
probably knock out a few tires in the process and the car will start
smoking... he'll get out and you can just gun him down. You can then go
over to the next guy and snipe out the driver... then shoot the other guy.
For the guy on the boat it's really easy, just snipe him. Get back on your
motorcycle and follow the 5th guy shooting at him... he'll crash and
mission accomplished.
EMAIL FROM: Kavenator
The key is to keep the motorcycle, the final assassination is VERY
DIFFICULT without it.
I used an M4 and [optionally] a rocket launcher.
There are 6 people you will have to kill. I do not remember all there
names but:
1> Billboard guy. Simply shoot him with a scoped gun (M4).
2> Armored truck guy. Across the street from the amour car is an alley, the
same alley as the guardian angels. Park the bike in the alley and go up the
same stairs to the platform that started the guardian angels mission, this
gives you a vantage onto the truck. Take out the M4 and aim carefully, take
your time, at the driver side windshield. Fire away. You can usually kill
the guy before he takes off, if you don't then you probably will fail. Once
he is dead get back on the bike and head straight down the ally toward the
police bad pickup. This will lower your wanted level. You can keep going
down the alley will it exists.
3> Two guys and a truck - the third mission was most difficult. There are
two solutions. Ride up from the drivers side of the truck and launch a
rocket from a distance away (easy) or ride in from the passenger side of
the truck and fire with the Uzi. If you miss both follow the truck first.
You can always come back for the running guy.
4> Boat guy. This is one of the vacationing guys, he is in a boat off the
shore of an apartment complex. Ride the bike up the stairs of the apt
building and across to the quad as near as you can to the indicator on the
map. There will be a short wall blocking your view of the water and boat.
Get off the bike, take out the M4 and walk to the wall. You may have to
walk around to get a clear shot of the gut but he should go down in one
shot. I do not know what happens if you miss.
5> Motorcycle madness. Get back on the bike and head for Washington area.
Get used to firing straight ahead while on the bike. Be patient, you have
several minutes if you have done things right. Come up behind the guy on
the bike and shoot him. Mission accomplished.
I managed the whole mission without getting a single star. So the police
are not a real problem except when you are actually firing the weapon.
EMAIL FROM: A. Raja
On this mission instead of using the bike all the time,when you go to kill
the scond bloke in the armored car,after you shoot him you should jump into
his van then go and get the other two,if you come up on the left side of the
bobcat and just ram them frist as you can they hould fly off and tip on to
there side just keep on raming them,until they catch on fire and blow
up,orjump out and shot them,the rest of the mission is a breeze and still
got time to spare.
------------------------
P.4 - Phone Mission #4 (Check In at the Check Out)
------------------------
This phone mission takes place at the Esbobar International Airport. Once
you go through the metal detector, all of your weapons will be taken out
of your pockets and will be left outside. Pick up the phone inside and
then take the mission. You need to grab the sniper rifle nearby and go
near the metal detector and aim and zoom in (Sqaure to Zoom In, X to Zoom
Out) and aim at the two men at the bottom of the escalator in front of the
lady. Wait for the lady to end business with the men and then kill the one
with the briefcase and then the one with the glasses. Hurry over there and
pick up the briefcase, you need to drop it at the Ammu-Nation back in
Downtown and that's a long ride. Get a fast car like the Sentinel XS or
something like that and head over to the Ammu-Nation. There will be cops and
gangs after you, so it will be a long and dangerous ride. $8000 if you pass
this mission.
EMAIL FROM: C. Gee
There is a phone mission where you go to the Airport and become a sniper.
There is a very easy way to complete this mission so you take virtually no
damage without cheat codes. Take the helicopter located on top of the
Vercetti house (formally Diaz's house) and fly to the airport. When facing
the front of the airport entrance, you will see the pink marker in front of
the phone on the right-hand side. To the left of the airport entrance,
you'll see a small lot. Put the helicopter in the small lot so it's still
running distance from the entrance. Once you've retrieved the package,
hightail it out of the airport doors, grab your weapons (metal detector
takes them and puts them outside for you) and dash to the helicopter. You
will have 2 stars so the police will be waiting when you get outside. You
will have plenty of time to get away. Fly the helicopter to the
destination and drop off the package.
EMAIL FROM: klwegener
The first thing to do is to get a helicopter, from the
