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

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

Sweet Mission #1 -- Tagging Up Turf
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into the car in front of you and drive over to
the side of a bridge in Idlewood (the yellow dot on the radar). Once there,
park in the red marker and Sweet will get out and spray paint the Grove Street
tag over the other gang's purple tag (this also happens to be the beginning
of the next odd job, which I will cover in the next section).
Afterwards, Sweet will tell you to spray over two other tags in the
neighborhood. These are the blue markers on your radar. One is right across
the street. Walk over to it, hold R1 to aim at hit and hit Circle to spray.
The second tag is in the alleyway behind the house with the first tage on it.
Go over to it and spray that one too, then return back and get in Sweet's car.
Now drive over to the next yellow dot (in East Los Santos) and stop in
the red marker there. Sweet runs off, leaving you to spray three more tags
in the area. The first is on the side of the building with the wall mural.
The second is around back of the building (to the north). There are two
gangsters standing in front of it. Either ignore them and spray anyway, or
spray them both in the face and they will eventually die.
The third and final tag is a little trickier to get to then the others.
Run over to the yellow dot on the radar and enter the red marker. Press
Square to climb the fence. Then go forward and climb another fence.
Turn to the left, see that platform? Climb it and then climb up to the roof.
Run around to the right and go to the north side of the wall to find the last
tag. Spray over it and then jump off of the roof and enter Sweet's car.
Now drive back to Ganton (follow the yellow dot on the radar) and drive
into the red marker outside Sweet's house to complete this mission.

can always return back to your house for another spray can (NOTE: It only
appears in your house in Ganton, not any of your other safe houses). With
each tag you spray, you earn more respect.

by the yellow dot on the radar. It isn't far from Sweet's house. Drive into
the red marker once there and another scene will play out.
Now head north and around the block to the red dot on the radar. This
is a drug dealer. Fight him by targeting him with R1 and attacking with
the Circle button. You can also hit him while he's on the ground by keeping
him targeted and tapping the Triangle button. After beating him down, a
short cinematic will play.
Take the baseball bat that the drug dealer dropped and head over to the
dealers' crib, indicated by the yellow dot on the radar. Go into the red
marker, then get out of the car and head inside the building.
You will be attacked by a few gang members. Beat up the dealer and
the two gang members in here, then head out of the building (via the door
with the yellow arrow in front of it).
Now go back to Sweet's house, indicated by the yellow dot on the radar
and stop in the red marker to complete this mission.

Sweet Mission #3 -- Drive-Thru
******************************************************************************
After watching the scene, you will be joined by Ryder, Sweet and Big
Smoke on this mission. Get into the Greenwood parked outside and drive to
the Cluckin' Bell, indicated by the yellow dot on the radar. Head into the
red marker and a sequence will play.
Now follow the Voodoo and perform a drive-by. Note that Ryder and
Sweet will open fire on the Voodoo, so you don't really need to join in, but
you could help out if you want to. Make sure to keep your distance from the
Voodoo so that your car doesn't blow up along with it. If the gang members
are able to escape the explosion, hunt them down and run over them. (haha,
Ice Cube's "Today was a Good Day" was on the radio while I was doing this
part of the mission)
Afterwards, head back to Sweet's house to drop him and Ryder off
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar, pull into the red marker to drop
him off). Then drive to Big Smoke's house (again, indicated by the yellow

Gym Mission #1 -- Los Santos Gym
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are four ways to work out at the gym: the treadmill, the exercise
bike, the bench press and the dumbells. Use the treadmill and bike to increase
stamina and use the bench press and dumbells to increase muscle. Once on each
machine, you will be given simple instructions on how to operate it. There
is a limit to how much you can work out in a day, so either pass the time in
between workout sessions by waiting around, or repeatedly go back to your
house to save (time passes 6 hours each time you save).
Once you have gotten enough muscle, you can challenge the trainer here
by entering the red marker next to the boxer and hit right on the D-Pad to
answer yes to his question. In order to complete this mission, you must
defeat the boxer in a fight to learn new moves. It isn't too hard to beat
him. Once you can get in a few hits, keep on attacking (don't forget to use
the Triangle button when he is on the ground).

Sweet Mission #4 -- Nines and AK's
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke will join you on this mission. After the scene, enter the
Glendale and drive over to Emmet's house in Willowfield (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar) and head into the red marker to begin a sequence.
Eventually, you will be given a gun tutorial. Follow the instructions
that pop up on screen and you should be fine. This tutorial covers basic
aiming, cycling through targets, shooting while crouching and exploding cars
by manually aiming and shooting the gas tank. Note that as you shoot more
and more, your skills will grow with each type of weapon, allowing you reload
faster and get better accuracy among other things. Also, with some weapons
you can hold two of at the same time when you reach the Hitman skill level.
Anyways, after the tutorial drive to Big Smoke's house (again, the
yellow dot on the radar) and enter the red marker once there. Now you should
receive a phone call from Sweet.
Get back into the car and drive over to Binco's clothing store (yellow
dot on the radar) and enter the building. Here you can purchase clothes to
wear by entering the red marker. Note that the more Green you wear, the
higher your Respect will be (since it is the Grove Street gangs color). To
find out what clothes give you how much respect and sex appeal, refer to the
Clothing section in the Non-Required Odd Jobs section of this Walkthrough.
To complete this mission, exit the store.

Note that you can return to Emmet's house to pick up a 9mm at any time.
His place is indicated on the map by the gun icon. Also, completing "Nines
and AK's" opens up a new mission location, Big Smoke. This is indicated on
the map by a "BS" icon. But, for now, head back to your house and save your
game. Be sure to pick up the Tec-9 from your kitchen, you may need it in
the next mission. To begin the next mission, head back to Sweet's house
(the "S" on the radar) and enter the red marker.
******************************************************************************
Sweet Mission #5 -- Drive-By
******************************************************************************
You will be joined by Ryder, Sweet and Big Smoke for this mission.
After the scene, get in the Greenwood and head towards Jefferson (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). Go into the red marker. Now you will have
to drive-by and kill Ballas (they are indicated on the radar by red dots).
Remember to keep your distance from the other gang's cars so you don't take
any damage if their car explodes. You can also join in on the shooting by
pulling up next to the target and holding R2 or L2 to aim on either side, then
hitting the Circle button to shoot. This can be performed using a machine
pistol (Tec-9, Micro-MP5, MP5).
There are four different locations that have gang members to kill.
Just keep going to where the red dots are on your radar until you finish
killing the last group in Glen Park. Note that there is a bar at the top
right that will tell you how much health your car currently has. When the
bar reaches zero, the car will explode and you will fail the mission.
After killing the last group, you will be hit with a two star wanted
level. You must now drive to the pay-n-spray in Idlewood (the yellow dot on
the radar). Once there, head into the garage to get your car sprayed (it
is free this time, but $100 from now on). Afterwards, be on your best
behavior while the stars are flashing, otherwise you will get them back.
After getting rid of the wanted level, head back to your neighborhood in
Ganton (the yellow dot on the radar) and drive into the red marker to complete
this mission.

red marker in front of Sweet's house to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Sweet Mission #6 -- Sweet's Girl
******************************************************************************
After the scenes, go get a car (either from your garage or steal a car
from someone on the street) and drive towards Playa Del Seville, south of
the stadium (red dot on the radar). !!!NOTE!!! If you want to recruit
some fellow gang members for this mission, walk up to one and target him by
pressing and holding R1. While holding R1, hit Up on the D-Pad to recruit
him. Gang members will follow you around and attack any rival gang members
as well as people that you attack.
Once you reach your destination, you should see Seville gang members.
Do a drive-by and try to take out as many of them as you can. They will
probably destroy your car, so hop out when it catches on fire and take
out the rest of the Seville gang members while on foot with your AK-47.
After all of the Seville gang members are dead, Sweet will call you
and ask you to pick him up. Hop into a 4-door car (you can either steal one
from somebody or get the Greenwood parked on the west side of the road, just
north of where the red marker is) and drive it into the red marker to pick
up Sweet and his girlfriend.
Now head back to Sweet's house in Ganton (yellow dot on the radar).
Watch out for the Seville gang, who will pursue you in their cars. Either
dodge them, or try to do a drive-by on them. When you reach your
neighborhood, drive into the red marker to complete this mission.

Afterwards, save your game if you want and head back to Sweet's house
for another mission. Again, go into the red marker outside of his house
to begin the next mission.

Sweet Mission #7 -- Cesar Vialpando
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car and head over to Willowfield (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). Head into the red marker to enter the
garage. The mechanic will give you a low rider. Now back the car into the
garage and you will be able to modify your car. This is the Loco Low Company
and it is the first Mod Garage in this game. There are a variety of things
to do to your car, from getting a custom paint job to installing NOS.
Refer to the Loco Low Company Mod Shop section in the Odd Job section of this
walkthrough for a complete list on what you can do here.
For now, you don't need anything extra to finish this mission, so exit
the shop whenever you are done. Now drive over to Unity Station in El Corona
(the yellow dot on the radar) and head into the red marker to start the
competition. You will now have to make a wager on the competition, the
minimum being $50, the maximum being $1000.
When the competition starts, look at the bottom of the screen for a
circle. A bunch of arrow icons will scroll through the circle in a random
order. Push the RIGHT analog stick in the direction of the arrow as it passes
through the circle. You will get points for each based on how well you do
on each arrow. This isn't too hard, I beat it on my first try and even made
quite a few mistakes. To complete the mission, just beat your opponents'
score. A scene will play afterwards.
========================================
Reward: Double the amount of your wager
Percentage Complete: 10.16%
========================================
Loco Low Company will now appear on the radar as a wrench icon. Head
there after obtaining a lowrider to modify it. A new side mission is now
available upon completion of this mission, so head back and save if you want,
then go find a lowrider (or use the Savanna that you used in the competition)
to get ready for the next mission. Also, you will receive a phone call from
Cesar (hit L1 to answer the phone) and a new mission location will open up,
indicated by "CV" on the radar. Transfenders also opens up (in Temple,
near Vinewood), refer to the Transfenders section in the Odd Jobs section
of the walkthrough for more information.
Make sure you have a lowrider. If you need one, go to the house next
door to Cesar's (next to the "CV" icon) to find a Blade. Be sure to stop
by Loco Low's to give it some Nitrous, you're gonna need it on the next
mission. You can buy some other things there, but they will only change the
appearance of your vehicle. When you are ready, (I suggest saving the game
with your modified vehicle in your garage down the street from Cesar's, in
case you fail the next mission) go to the "CV" location on the radar and
drive into the red marker to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #1 -- High Stakes, Low-Rider
******************************************************************************
After the scene, follow Cesar (indicated on the radar by a blue dot,
also has a blue arrow over his car) into Verdant Bluffs and head into the
red marker to begin the race. You will now race through a series of
checkpoints that leads up to Vinewood and finishes at the Santa Maria pier.
Try to keep an eye on the radar for the next checkpoint location. Use your
nitrous (L1) on straightaway's to gain an advantage over your opponents.
Also, be careful while turning, as lowriders tend to love to fishtail.
Keep you lowrider low to the ground (L3 to change whether it is raised or
lowered) for better handling. To complete this mission, finish the race in
first place. It isn't too difficult to win this race, you should win it
on your first couple of tries.
============================
Reward: $1000
Percentage Complete: 10.70%

Afterwards, drive back to your savehouse in Ganton and save your game.
Now it is time to begin a new series of missions. Head next door to Ryder's
house (the "R" on the map) and enter the red marker out front to begin the
next mission. !!!NOTE!!! This is a night mission. You can only begin this
mission between the hours of Noon and 8 PM (12:00 to 20:00).
******************************************************************************
Ryder Mission #1 -- Home Invasion
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will be in a Boxville. Ryder will accompany you
on this mission. !!!NOTE!!! You will have eight minutes to complete this
mission (the countdown clock is at the upper right of the screen). Drive
over to the Colonel's house in East Beach (indicated by the yellow dot on
the radar) and enter the red marker.
Go into the house (where the yellow arrow is). Once inside, note the
noise meter underneath the timer. Once it fills up, the Colonel will wake
up and you will get a two star wanted level (and the Colonel will shoot at
you with a shotgun), so be sure to not fill up the meter. The best way to
sneak around is by crouching (L3) and then using the left analog to move
around (tap lightly to move quietly).
Now you must steal at least three crates of guns (additional crates
are optional!). The first is located to the right of where you enter (by
the wall near the cannon), it is indicated by a green arrow. Go over to
it and hit Triangle to pick it up, then take it back outside. Load it
into the Boxville by hitting the Triangle button again.
Go back inside the house. The next crate is in the room opposite the
stairs (to the right from where you enter) in the back left corner near the
cabinets. Again, pick it up and take it back outside to the Boxville.
The next crate is located at the top of the stairs. Repeat the same
process as the first two. Another crate is also located upstairs in the
hallway and there is another one in the Colonel's room (only try for this
one if you are feeling lucky enough).
Make sure you are outside of the house when the timer expires and get
back into the Boxville. Now head to the lockup building (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar, there is no time limit) in Playa Del Seville and
pull into the red marker. Now park the Boxville in the garage to complete
this mission.
============================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 11.23%

With the completion of this mission, you will have unlocked the Burglar
Odd Job. !!!NOTE!!! In the Strategy Guide, it lists this as a required
mission, but when I did it, it did NOT raise my percentage at all, this is
why I put it in the Non Required Odd Jobs section.
Now, save your game at your savehouse in Ganton and grab some weapons
from your kitchen. Head next door to Ryder's house and enter the marker out
in front of his house (the "R" on the radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Ryder Mission #2 -- Catalyst
******************************************************************************
Ryder will join you on this mission. After the scene, get into the
Picador and drive over to where the train has stopped in Las Colinas (the
yellow dot on the radar).
Kill all four of the gang members around by either running them over or
using the weapon of your choice. Then kill the four gang members in the car
that just pulled up.
Hop onto the train (by going into the red marker). Now you must throw
some boxes to Ryder from the moving train. Aim using the left analog and
throw using the Circle button. There are enough crates on the train, so don't
worry if you miss. You must throw 10 crates to Ryder to continue this
mission. Try aiming above Ryder to get him to catch it. This isn't too hard,
you should get the hang of it after a couple of throws. To put some power on
it, press and hold L1, then release it to throw.
After Ryder has 10 crates, you will get back in the Picador and have
a Three Star wanted level! Go quickly to the nearest pay-n-spray (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar) to get rid of the stars.
Now drive back to Ganton (the yellow dot on the radar) and enter the
red marker to complete this mission.
