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

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.
===========================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 8.56%

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.
===========================
Rewards: $500, Respect+

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

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.

marker outside of Ryder's house (the "R" on the radar) to begin the next
mission.
******************************************************************************
Ryder Mission #3 -- Robbing Uncle Sam
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into the Mule (truck) parked out front and drive
over to the Ocean Docks (indicated by the yellow dot). Pull into the red
marker once there and a scene will play.
Approach the wall and throw a Molotov Cocktail over the right side of
gate where the jeep went into (you can see a guard standing there). If any
other guard comes after you, throw another Molotov Cocktail to take care of
him.
Once the guards have been taken out, hop the wall and shoot the switch
next to the gate (manually aim) to open it. Follow alongside Ryder and
shoot any guards that you see along the way (there shouldn't be more then
two). Approach the building that Ryder is parked outside of and shoot the
keypad to the right of the door to open it (again manually aim).
Kill the two guards upon entering the warehouse. Get on the forklift
and drive up to one of the boxes on the floor in front of you. Like the
game says, get underneath one of the boxes and hold up on the RIGHT analog
to lift the box. Now carry it over to the van and load it onto the van
(make sure that the box is raised high enough to make it into the back of the
van). After loading each box, a couple of guards will show up. Kill them,
then get back into the forklift and get the next box. If you hear Ryder
shooting, then help him out by killing the guard he is shooting at.
Load the other three boxes that are on the ground, then get two more
boxes on the ground outside of the warehouse (to the north of the van).
If you are having trouble, try anticipating when the guards will come out
(about every minute or so, one shows up). Try getting a box onto the
forklift, wait for a guard and kill him. Then load that box onto the van,
wait for a guard and kill. Repeat this process and this mission will be
a breeze.
After getting six boxes, get into the Mule and head back to Emmet's
place in Willowfield (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Along the
way, you will be pursued by the National Guard in Patriots. Hit the L3
button and Ryder will toss a box full of explosives out the back and hit
whatever is behind you. So wait until a Patriot is behind you and let
them have it!
To complete this mission, head into the red marker at Emmet's place.

and enter the red marker to begin.
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke Mission #1 -- OG Loc
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke and Sweet join you on this mission, as well as OG Loc a little
bit into the mission. After the scene, drive over to the Police Station in
Pershing Square (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and drive into the
red marker out in front of the station.
After the scene, drive all the way to Freddy's house in East Los
Santos (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker
here. After the next scene, follow OG up the stairs to the house and walk
into the red marker.
After another scene, you will have to pursue Freddy on a motorcycle.
Don't worry about killing Freddy while on the bike, instead, concentrate on
staying on Freddy's tail. Freddy takes the same path every time, so if you
are having trouble with this mission, learning the route will make it a
little easier.
Keep following him until he stops (back in East Los Santos). Take
Freddy out as well as the other gang members (should be easy if you have an
AK-47 or Tec-9) on the stairs.
Afterwards, get into a car (or on a bike and make sure OG is with you)
and head over to the Burger Shot in Marina (indicated by the yellow dot on
the radar). Pull into the red marker to complete the mission.
============================
Reward: Respect+

Ganton and save your game. Grab the Tec-9 from your kitchen. When you are
ready, go back to Big Smoke's house (the "BS" icon on the radar) and enter
the red marker to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke Mission #2 -- Running Dog
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke will join you on this mission. After the scene, get in the
Glendale and head over to East Los Santos (indicated by the yellow dot on

After the scenes, sprint after the Vagos (the red dot on the radar).
When you get close to him, use the Tec-9 to shoot him (since you can shoot it
while running). Kill him to complete this mission (easy huh?).

******************************************************************************
Big Smoke Mission #3 -- Wrong Side of the Tracks
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke will accompany you on this mission. After the scene, drive
over to Unity Station (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and into the
red marker.
After the scene, get onto the Sanchez (make sure Big Smoke gets on as
well) and follow the train east. Once you catch up to it, pull up on the
right side of the train and when you pull up alongside of the Mexicans, Big
Smoke will shoot at them. Keep your distance from the front of the train in
case there are any cars on the tracks (to avoid the explosion). This happened
to me after the first bend, I'm not sure if its in the same spot each
time. If there is an oncoming train, just go to the right of that to avoid
getting hit (Big Smoke will yell out if there is one coming).
I was able to kill all three Mexicans before getting to Fisher's
Lagoon, but if you happen to reach there, at one point Big Smoke will tell
you to take the high road when exiting the tunnel, so go ahead and take it
(it is to the right). If you don't kill the Mexicans by the time the train
gets to the highway you will fail the mission and have to start over. Just
drive steady and hope that Big Smoke has a straight enough shot to kill them.
After killing all of them, drive all the way back to Big Smoke's house
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). I recommend backtracking on the
railroad tracks (that would be the fastest route). Drive into the red marker
at Big Smoke's house to complete this mission.

******************************************************************************
Big Smoke Mission #4 -- Just Business
******************************************************************************
Big Smoke will accompany you on this mission. After the scene, drive
to Commerce (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and enter the red
marker.
Now you will be smack dab in the middle of a shootout! Just keep low
and use auto-aim to blast away anybody and everybody that shoots at you.
The objective is to keep Big Smoke alive while killing everyone else. Note
that these enemies will drop MP5's, so pick one up since it is better then
your Tec-9. Just continue killing everybody inside and Big Smoke will
head outside when everybody is dead, so follow him out (be sure to grab
the Body Armor on the lower level if you need it).
Switch to your AK-47 when outside and kill everybody out here. After
killing everyone, you and Big Smoke will hop onto a bike. Now you will have
no control over the steering of the bike (Big Smoke will) and you must keep
the bike health bar from reaching zero. Use the Right Analog Stick to control
where you aim and shoot using the Circle button. Shoot at all of the other
motorcycles (aim for gas tanks or tires to make it easier).
When you reach the roadblock, shoot at the gas tank on the middle car to
clear the roadblock, then take out the two men to the left of the roadblock
(next to the car). As you go through the flood control, take out any
motorcycles and cars that pursue you (don't worry about the truck that comes
along). More motorcycles will come after you after leaving the flood control.
Just keep shooting anybody that comes after you and eventually you will come
to a stop at East Beach. This will complete the mission. *Phew*

After the scene, steal a car and drive over to the beach party at Santa
Maria Beach (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Be sure not to hit
anybody or you will fail the mission. Walk into the red marker to continue
the mission.
During the conversation, hit right on the D-Pad both times the DJ asks
you a question and you will enter a dancing competition. This works much
like the Lowrider Competition that was in the "Cesar Vialpando" mission
except you will be hitting buttons instead of moving the joystick. Just like
with the Lowrider competition, hit the buttons along with the beat.
To continue the mission, score 4000 points or more. Afterwards,
respond positively (right on the D-Pad) and then enter the van. Drive away
(ditching the DJ, everyone will shoot at you) and head over to a storage
garage in Commerce (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Pull into

******************************************************************************
OG Loc Mission #2 -- Madd Dogg's Rhymes
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to Madd Dogg's mansion in Mulholland
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Head over to the back door and
walk into the yellow marker to enter the mansion.
Now you will be introduced to stealth. Sneak up behind the first guard
and hold R1 to target him, then get close to him and press the Circle button
to do a stealth kill. Go down the hallway to enter the pool area. Notice
the guards movements and sneak behind him and perform another stealth kill.
Its easier to hide in the dark corner to the left and wait for him to pass
you to kill him. Or just go the right and around the pool and eventually
get behind the guard.
Head through the next door and another guard will approach. Go into
first doorway to the left (where it is dark) to hideout and wait for the
guard to pass by, then perform another stealth kill.
Continue up and through the hallway, then through the door to the left.
Continue down the hallway and you will reach a room with a bar. Crouch (L3)
and walk across the bar to keep out of the bartenders line of sight. Then
continue crouching through the next room with the TV (you can perform a
stealth kill on the guard on the couch if you want).
Continue through the next hallway (around two bends to the right), grab
some body armor from the room on the left if you need it and continue through
the room with the body armor (there is a painting on the wall opposite the
doorway). Look to the right to see another guard facing the other direction.
Sneak up behind him and perform another stealth kill. Now grab the rhyme book
in the next room.
Head back into the room with the body armor and you will see another
guard in the other doorway facing the opposite direction. Perform a stealth
kill on him and grab his Silenced 9mm. Continue through the hallway and
shoot the guard that is standing in the next doorway (you are going out the
same way you came in). Kill the guy on the couch and the bartender (if you
didn't before, or crouch again and sneak past them). Then kill the next guy
around the corner and the guy in the pool room using the Silenced 9mm. Then
exit through the door you used to get into the mansion.
Now head back to the Burger Shot in Marina (indicated by the yellow dot
on the radar). You can take the Mountain Bike that is in front of you, or you
can steal a car and drive there. In any case, enter the red marker to
complete the mission.

Afterwards, you will receive a call from Officer Tenpenny (hit L1 to
answer the phone) and a new mission location will be opened up, the
"C.R.A.S.H." mission location (indicated by the "C" on the radar) at the
donut shop in Market. For now, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria
Beach and save your game, there are more missions to do for OG Loc. When
you are ready, head over to the Burger Shot in Marina (the "OG" icon on the
radar) and enter the red marker to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
OG Loc Mission #3 -- Management Issues
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get in the car and drive over to Madd Dogg's managers'
driver (indicated by the red dot on the radar, should be near the Burger Shot
in Temple). Once you find the driver, ram into the car and cause enough
damage for him to get out of the car and start shooting at you. Run him over
and kill him (or get out and shoot him), then steal his car. Take it over to
the pay-n-spray in Temple to get the car fixed. !!!NOTE!!!: You have until
10 pm (22:00) to get the drivers' car over to the pickup spot, otherwise you
will fail this mission.
Once the car is fixed, drive over to the pickup spot a few blocks away
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Make sure not to hit anything
on the way there or you will have to return to the pay-n-spray. Once you
reach the location, make sure to park in the same direction as the other cars
and do not hit them. Park in the red marker to continue the mission.
After the sequence, you must stay in between the other two cars as you
head towards the awards show (a couple of block away, straight ahead). Once
you get there, another scene will play. Afterwards, head over to the Verona
Beach pier (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) while dodging the
pursuing cars along the way. Once you reach the pier, drive full speed
towards the end of the pier and when you are just about to reach the end,
bail out of the car (Triangle button). Kill the four guys that came out of
the car behind you, then either take their car or take the BMX Bike nearby
and head back to the other end of the pier. If any of the security vehicles
are still pursuing you, take them out as well (they will be the red dots on
the radar). Once all of them are dead, you will complete this mission.

Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 16.04%

Afterwards, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save
your game if you want to, then head back to the Burger Shot in Marina (the
"OG" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin the last of OG
Loc's missions. I suggest having weapons for this next mission, so either
head back to Carl's house in Ganton to pick some up or check the Weapon
Locations section of this walkthrough for other weapon locations. Also,
Body Armor may not be a bad idea, so be sure to get some (check the Armor
Locations section of this walkthrough for locations).
******************************************************************************
OG Loc Mission #4 -- House Party
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to the Barber Shop across the street and get
a new haircut (for a list of how much respect/sex appeal you will recieve,
check out the Barbers section of this walkthrough, in Non-Required Odd Jobs)
if you need it (it isn't required). Next, if you need/want new clothes, head
over to the ProLaps in Rodeo (check out the Clothing Stores section of this
walkthrough for a complete list of what you can buy).
When you are ready, head over to the house party at OG's house in Ganton
(indicated by the "OG" icon on the radar). You have until 5 am (05:00) to
get there. Once there, head into the red marker to continue this mission.
After the scenes, you will be put into another wild gunfight. Use
whatever weapons you have to take down all of the rival gang members. The
first wave consists of eight ballas. Feel free to use cars as cover and
just fire away! After the first wave has been defeated, four more appear
on the bridge above you. Again, use whatever weapons you have to take them
out.
Afterwards, you will have to deal with a total of twelve more Ballas.
Most of them come from the alleyway. Just keep running and gunning until
all of them are dead. Hopefully, you got Body Armor beforehand, because that
really helps in this mission. When all of the Ballas are dead, a scene will
play and the mission will be completed.
============================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 16.58%
============================
After the mission, save your game at your safehouse nearby in Ganton.
Now, it's time to take a short break from the story missions and do another
Odd Job (this could have been done since the beginning of the game). If you
have a Cycling skill of about 75% or more (pause the game and look at
Stats --> Player to see what % your Cycling stat is at), you should be able
to complete the next Odd Job pretty easily. If not, find a bike and just
move around with it to gain skill.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BMX Challenge
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To begin this Odd Job, head over to the skate park that is south of
Glen Park (the park itself) and west of the Hospital in Jefferson. Head to
the northeast section of the skate park and hop on the BMX Bike that is
located near a half-pipe to begin this mission.
Now you must collect 19 checkpoints scattered throughout the skate park
(in any order). You start with 10 seconds with an additional 10 seconds added
each time you get a checkpoints. Some are located above your head, use a
bunny hop (hold, then release L1) to collect those.
My advice is to collect the ones on the ground first before getting the
tougher ones that are in the air. Having a high Cycling skill will really
help here, as the higher the skill level, the higher you can bunny hop. To
complete this mission, collect all 19 checkpoints before time runs out.
============================
Reward: None
Percentage Complete: 17.11%
============================
Afterwards, head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save
your game. Now, it's time to get back to the story missions. When you are
ready, head over to the Donut Shop in Market (the "C" icon on the radar) and
enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
C.R.A.S.H. Mission #1 -- Burning Desire
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to Downtown Los Santos (indicated by the
green dot/arrow on the radar). Once there, grab the Molotov Cocktails in the
alleyway.
Now drive over to a gang house in East Los Santos (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar). Once there, kill some of the gang members hanging
around outside. Now you must toss a Molotov Cocktail through five different
windows (each indicated by a red dot on the radar) that each have a red arrow
above them. Hopefully you did the firetruck mission so that you are fireproof
and not vulernable to taking any damage while doing this. If not, toss the
Molotov's from a distance so that you don't suffer any damage. If you run
out of Molotov's, more will appear nearby (just go to the green dot on the
radar).
Once you have done that, you must save the girl inside of the house.
Run around to the front door (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and
enter the building. Once inside, run all the way to the back (and left),
then go up the stairs. Run up to the last door on the left and a scene will
play.
Now head back downstairs and into the kitchen (left from the bottom of
the stairs). Grab the fire extinguisher and head back to the girl's room.
Use the fire extinguisher on the flame in the doorway and approach the woman
to trigger another scene.
Head into the room across the hall. Use the fire extinguisher to put
put the flames in the doorway in the next room and continue through. Head
into the hallway and put of the flames here, then continue downstairs. Put
out the flames in the doorway to the left (leading to the kitchen), then
continue through the next room and hallway (basically heading straight),
putting out one more set of flames and finally exit the building through the
front door (make sure the girl is behind you).
After the scene, get into a car (making sure the girl is with you) and
drive the girl to her house in Ganton (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). Drive into the red marker in front of her house to complete this
mission.

Reward: Denise becomes your Girlfriend
Percentage Complete: 17.65%
=======================================
Afterwards, you will recieve a phone call from Sweet (Hit L1 to answer
the phone). This will unlock the second set of Sweet's missions (the "S"
icon on the radar, at the Ammu-Nation in Market). Also, completing this
mission unlocks the Girlfriends Odd Job. Denise is now your girlfriend, so
you can take her out on a date (as well as a few other girls). See the
Girlfriends section of the Non-Required Odd Jobs section for a full
explanation on this Odd Job (you can get 100% with Denise now). For now,
head back to your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach and save your game. Pick up
some weapons if you need some and some Body Armor as well (refer to the
Locations section of this walkthrough). This should become a regular habit.
When you are ready, head back to the donut shop in Market (the "C" icon on
the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
C.R.A.S.H. Mission #2 -- Gray Imports
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to the Ocean Docks (indicated by the yellow
dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker. Head a little bit south from
there to the railroad tracks. Go into the building on the west side of the
road. You can find body armor in one of the boxcars in here. Head out the
west side of the building and turn to the right. Take out the guard near the
garage with a gun (preferrably the AK-47) and then any other guards who come
after you. Go towards the yellow dot on the radar (notice more body armor to
the right (east) of the dot).
Shoot the keypad that is just left of the garage door to open the door.
Take out the three guards in here and head into the building. Keep following
the path, taking out guards along the way. There is a health icon behind some
boxes in the far north part of the building, if you need it. In the open
area, there are seven more guys to kill (three up above). After killing
everyone, go up the stairs (killing anyone left) and enter the room straight
ahead.
One of the Russians will run off. Follow him through the complex and
eventually (if you don't kill him by then) he will get into a Banshee and
drive into the flood control area. Hop on the PCJ-600 (motorcycle) nearby and
chase him through the flood control area. Get behind him and keep shooting
with either a Tec-9 or MP5 (the enemies in this mission have them, just pick
one up after killing them) until the car explodes. Killing the Russian will
complete this mission.
============================
Reward: None
Percentage Complete: 18.18%

After the mission, head back to your safehouse either in El Corona or
Santa Maria Beach and save your game. As usual, make sure you have body armor
and weapons (check the Locations section of this walkthrough), then head over
to the Ammu-Nation in Downtown Los Santos (the "S" icon on the radar) and
enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Sweet Mission #8 -- Doberman
******************************************************************************
This mission provides and introduction into gang wars (which is covered
in the Odd Jobs section of this walkthrough). If you need a weapon, head into
the Ammu-Nation to buy some (or check out the Weapons section in the Locations
section of this walkthrough). Here is a list of what you can buy inside (walk
into the red marker in front of the counter):
*****************
***Ammu-Nation***
*****************
Item Price
==== =====
9mm $200
Silenced 9mm $600
Tec-9 $300
Micro SMG $500
Shotgun $600
Sawn-Off Shotgun $800
Grenades $300
Body Armor $200
SMG $2000
When you are ready, head over to Glen Park (the purple box on the map,
the green man icon on the radar). Once you enter the area, you have to start
a gang war. To do this, run around (you have to be on foot for this to work)
and kill any rival gang member that you see. After killing three, a gang war
will begin (it will say "you have provoked a gang war"). If you happen to get
a wanted level, head to the bridge in the north part of the park and you
should see a police bribe under the bridge.
Now, in order to win the territory, you must kill three waves of rival
gang members. Keep you eyes peeled for health and armor icons that will
appear in alleyways and streets. The rival gang members will be dots on the
radar. They get tougher and more in number as you go through the waves. If
you are struggling, look for areas to take cover, such as backyards or fences.
Some of these guys also drop a lot of money, so be sure to pick all of it up.
For the first wave, I faced 4 guys with baseball bats (took them out easily).
For the second wave, I faced 4 guys with pistols and for the third, I faced
4 guys with Tec-9's. Getting Body Armor beforehand really helped out (I
ended up with full health at the end because of the body armor).
After the third wave is dead, the territory belongs to you (the Grove
Street Families). You will then get an on-screen explanation of gang warfare.
Afterwards, a gang member will run out of a house (indicated by the red dot
on the radar). Chase after him and kill him (and anyone else who shoots at
you) to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 18.72%
============================
Afterwards, note that the "S" icon on the radar has moved back to
Sweet's house in Ganton and that colored boxes appear all over the radar.
These are part of the Gang Wars, check out the Non-Required Odd Jobs section
for more details. This is a good way to make money. Carl's house in Ganton
is now an asset and will generate money daily (check in front of the garage)
based upon how many territories you control. You also earn respect for taking
territories. Before moving on to the next mission, your respect has to be up
to about 10%, so take over some territories if you need the respect.
Now would be a good time to purchase the rest of the safehouses in Los
Santos (if you haven't already). If you need money, there are plenty of ways
to obtain it. You could do more taxi missions, take over territories and
collect the money in front of Carl's house, collect money from Roboi's Food
Mart or you could bet on the horses at the Inside Track Betting place in
Downtown Los Santos. When you have at least $150,000 you will have enough to
purchase the rest of the safehouses in Los Santos.

Safehouse Purchasing (3,4,5 and 6)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse #3: This house is located just southeast of Emmet's place in
Willowfield (also directly west from Loco Low's Mod Shop). It's a pretty
crummy house and doesn't even have a garage, but it does count towards 100%
completion of the game, so we gotta buy it. It costs $10,000.
Safehouse #4: This house is located in Jefferson, a little bit to the
southeast of Glen Park and south of the SubUrban (Clothing Store) in
Jefferson. It costs another $10,000 and has no garage.
Safehouse #5: This house is located in Mulholland, north of the Vinewood
sign. It costs $120,000 and has a garage.
Safehouse #6: This apartment is located in Verona Beach, just east of
the Burger Shot where the OG Loc missions began. It costs $10,000 and has
no garage.
Well, that's all of the safehouses in Los Santos for now.
============================
Percentage Complete: 20.86%

Now, we are ready to continue the main story missions. Head back to
your safehouse in Ganton and save your game. Make sure you have at least
about 10% Respect (hit L1 to check) before continuing. Pick up some weapons
and body armor (refer to the Locations section of this walkthrough) if you
need them and when you are ready, head over to Sweet's house (indicated by
the "S" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the
next mission. !!!NOTE!!! You can only begin this mission between the hours
of 9 am and 5 pm (09:00 and 17:00).
******************************************************************************
Sweet Mission #9 -- Los Sepulcros
******************************************************************************
After the scene, recruit the two gang members standing nearby (with blue
arrows over their heads). To recruit them, approach the gang member and
target him by pressing and holding R1. While targeting him, hit Up (or Down)
on the D-Pad to recruit him. He will now follow you around and shoot at your
enemies. After recruiting them, hop into the Greenwood and drive over to the
cemetary in Vinewood (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). You have a
time limit of 4 minutes to get there. This is plenty of time, so take your
time and try to minimize the number of cars you hit along the way. Once
there, pull into the red marker to continue this mission.
Hop over the wall and approach Sweet to trigger a conversation. After
the scene, start heading across the cemetary (hit Up on the D-Pad to get your
gang members to follow you) and gun down any Ballas that get in your way.
Head towards Kane (indicated by the red dot on the radar, and a red arrow over
his head) and kill him to trigger the next part of this mission.
Now kill the remaining Ballas (red dots on the radar and red arrows
above their heads) and get into the Admiral that Sweet got (indicated by the
blue dot on the radar). Head to the pay-n-spray that is northeast of the
cemetary to get rid of the two star wanted level, then go back to Sweet's
house (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker
to complete this mission.

Sweet Mission #10 -- Reuniting the Families
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into the Greenwood and drive over to the Jefferson
Hotel (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker
out front. After the scene, head inside of the hotel (the yellow dot on the
radar and there is a yellow arrow in front of the door on the ground level).
You can shoot some cops outside before heading in, but it isn't necessary.
You need to go in the hotel to continue the mission.
Once inside, head up the stairs to the left and CJ will talk to the gang
member. Continue up the stairs and along the walkway to the next room, taking
out SWAT members along the way. Go through the hallway (kill another SWAT
member) and turn the corner. You will see three SWAT members in front of you.
Kill all of them, then continue through the hallway. Once you reach the end
of the hallway, two more SWAT members will drop down through the ceiling (to
the left). Kill them, then head up the stairs to the left to pick up some
body armor (if you need it).
Then head back down the stairs and continue down the next hallway. Kill
more SWAT members here, then continue on. Continue down to the end and kill
more SWAT members in here and down the next hallway as well. You should be
near the blue dot on the radar (Sweet) now. Head towards it, you will find
him in the second room on the right in this hallway (watch out for a couple
more SWAT members). Approach him to trigger a sequence and the next part to
this mission.
After the scenes, shoot and kill the four guys up in the helicopter
(just aim and shoot), then shoot at the helicopter until it goes down. Now
you must follow Sweet (indicated by the blue dot on the radar) down the stairs
to trigger another scene.
Now you will be in a car with Big Smoke driving. You must shoot at all
of the cop cars that pursue you. Just keep shooting at any police car that
you see, use the left analog to rotate your view and use the Circle button to
shoot (this is similar to Big Smoke's "Just Business" mission). Eventually,
police motorcycles will join the pursuit, just deal with them like you did in
Big Smoke's "Just Business" mission. Soon after, you will reach a roadblock.
Carl will run out of ammo here (you have finished the mission at this point),
so there is nothing you can do except kick back and watch the exciting
finale to this mission.
After the scenes, you will have completed this mission.

Enter the Bravura (has a blue arrow over it) to meet with Cesar.
After the scene, get into a car and head over to the Mulholland
Intersection (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) as fast as you can.
Note Sweet's health bar in the upper right. If that depletes, you will fail
this mission. Once there, drive into the red marker to trigger a scene.
Now kill all of the Ballas in the area (they are indicated by red dots
on the radar) and more will pull up in a van. Kill them as well as blow up
the car with Ballas in it (doing a drive-by). Once they are all dead, another
sequence will play and this mission will be complete.

C.R.A.S.H. Mission #3 -- Badlands
******************************************************************************
Head towards where the witness is (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). As you go along, the game provides you with a short tutorial (read
the boxes that appear in the upper right) on how to use a Camera. You can buy
some weapons from the Ammu-Nation in Angel Pine if you need some. You can
also find a Tec-9 behind the easternmost trailer in the trailer park. Also,
you can find some body armor in the town as well. Here are directions to it:
from the Ammu-Nation in Angel Pine, head west on the road and make the first
right (north). Make the next right (right after the road bends left) and
you should see a restaurant on the right (east) side of the road, on the
corner. Check behind the restaurant to find the body armor.
Once you reach the red marker just outside of town, you must make your
way up the mountain using the dirt roads and switch-backs that are going up
the mountain. When you see another dirt road going up to the right, continue
on the dirt road heading left and make your way around the mountain until you
finally reach a cabin (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Approach
the area and sneak around behind the cabin. You will find the witness here,
heading towards the car that is parked there. Quickly kill him, then any FBI
Agents in the area. Now photograph the body of the witness (hold R1 and hit
Circle to snap the photo), make sure you get the whole body in the photo.
Now head back to the trailer park in Angel Pine (indicated by the yellow
dot on the radar) and walk into the red marker to complete this mission.

Afterwards, you will recieve a phone call from Cesar (hit L1 to answer).
This will unlock the next mission, located in Dillimore, indicated by the
"?" icon on the radar. But now, lets take a break from the story missions.
You will also get a call from Sweet. There is a new side mission to do at
the moment, that is the Chiliad Challenge.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chiliad Challenge
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In order to begin this challenge, you must have your cycling skill over
40%. You should easily have well over 40% by now, if you completed the BMX
Challenge in Los Santos. To begin this side mission, hop onto the Mountain
Bike that is located at the very top of Mount Chiliad, just west of Angel
Pine. !!!NOTE!!! You can only begin this challenge between the hours of
7 am and 6 pm (07:00 and 18:00). There are three races in the Chiliad
Challenge. You will be racing against other competitors. Finish first in
each race to move on to the next. When you finish first in the third race,
the mission will be complete. Also, if that Tec-9 is starting to look
really good and you feel like taking out the competition, well think twice,
because you will fail this mission if you try to kill your opponents.
*****************************************
***Race #1: Scotch Bonnet Yellow Route***
*****************************************
You will be up against 5 other competitors in this race. This route
winds its way down the mountainside, using the many switchbacks on the trail.
There are a few straightaways where you can pedal much faster and lose the
competition. Try not to cut the corners, just be patient and use the
straightaways to get ahead. Use R1 on the turns for easier cornering. This
may take a few tries, so if you are having trouble, try memorizing the route
so that you can anticipate the tough turns as well as where the straightaways
are and you should be fine. Finish first in this race to move on.
========================
Reward: Unlocks Race #2
========================
Afterwards, head back to Angel Pine and save at the trailer park if you
want, then make the trek back up the mountain and hop on the Mountain Bike at
the top to begin the second race in this challenge.
************************************
***Race #2: Birdseye Winder Route***
************************************
Did you think that first race was difficult? Well, that was just the
beginning. And, guess what, it doesn't get any easier. This race begins
the same as the first one until the sixth checkpoint, when you take a new
path. There are quite a few sharp turns in this race, so just like before,
take the turns slowly and carefully to avoid falling down the mountain.
Towards the end of the race, there will be a fairly long straightaway with
gentle curves, so that is the time to either make up lost ground or catch up
to everyone. Again, finish the race in first place to move on to the final
race.
========================
Reward: Unlocks Race #3
========================
Again, save in Angel Pine if you want, then head back to the top of the
mountain and hop on the Mountain Bike to begin the final race in the
challenge.
************************
***Race #3: Cobra Run***
************************
You will be up against only two competitors for this one. The first
half of this race is brutal. It starts with a nasty jump (go as slow as
possible), then you must navigate a very narrow boardwalk. You will have
to use the brake often. If you fall off of the board, you might be able to
get some of the checkpoints on the board by bunny hopping. Take it slow and
steady. After you get off of the boardwalk, the next few checkpoints can be
fairly difficult to get because they involve jumps. Again, take those
somewhat slow, so that you can make sure you stay on the bike. The rest of
the race is much easier to navigate. For the most part, it is pretty much
straight and downhill, so give it all you got to the finish line! Finish in
first place to complete this mission (and breathe a sigh of relief).
==============================
Reward: Percentage Completion
Percentage Complete: 23.53%
==============================
Afterwards, head back to your the trailer park in Angel Pine and save
your game. Note that if you go back to the top of Mount Chiliad and hop
onto the Mountain Bike, you can replay each of the three races you just did
to improve your time, hit the unique stunt jump on Cobra Run, or just practice
your cycling skills (if you need it, which you shouldn't at this point).
Now, it's time to purchase another safehouse so that we have some place
to save in the countryside that is to the north of Los Santos. This is
because we will be doing some missions in this area and it will be easier to
have a safehouse nearby, rather then drive all the way back to either Los
Santos or Angel Pine just to save.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse Purchasing (7)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make sure you have at least $10,000 before buying this. If you don't
have enough, you can do taxi missions or head back to Los Santos and collect
the money from the courier asset. You can also win a lot of money by
betting on horses at the Off-Track Betting Place in Montgomery or Downtown
Los Santos.
Safehouse #7: This is located in Blueberry, which is the town that is
just northwest of Dillimore (Dillimore is the town with the "?" icon in it,
the next mission location). This is a centrally located safehouse within the
Badlands and you can go pretty much anywhere without too long of a trip.
This is an apartment complex, you can find the icon where you need to buy it
on the second story of the eastern side of the complex. It costs $10,000 and
does not have a garage.
============================
Percentage Complete: 24.06%
============================
Save here, then head over to The Welcome Pump in Dillimore (indicated
by the "?" on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the
next mission. You can get body armor and some weapons if you want (check the
Locations section of this walkthrough), but they aren't really necessary for
the upcoming missions. The Tec-9 or whatever you used in the last story
mission should be enough.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #1 -- First Date
******************************************************************************
This isn't really a mission, just watch the scene, get into a car (or
hop on a bike) and listen to the conversation. Soon after, four new missions
will unlock, each indicated by a "$" icon on the radar. You can do these
missions in any order that you want. One is in Blueberry, one is in
Dillimore, one is in Palomino Creek and the other is in Montgomery.
I will start with the closest one, in Dillimore because it will unlock
another odd job (it will net you some more cash as well). So, head over to
the gas station in Dillimore (the closest "$" icon on the radar) and drive
into the red marker to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #2 -- Tanker Commander
******************************************************************************
After the scene, enter the truck in front of you (with the blue arrow
over it, indicated by the blue dot on the radar). See that tanker to the
left? It now has a blue arrow over it and you must attach it to the back of
your truck. Pull in front of the tanker and back up into it (use L2 and R2
to look in the rear view). After that a scene will play and you will be
chased by the gas station attendants.
Now you must drive to the "RS Haul" Depot in Flint County (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). You will have a health bar in the upper
right, if that gets to zero, you will fail the mission. Just drive steadily,
don't try to rush too much or you could inadvertantly disconnect the tanker.
Go forward from the gas station (south) and then make a right (west). Follow
this road to the end and make a left (south). Follow this road to the end
as well and make another left (east). Keep going and cross the bridge and you
should eventually see the depot on the left (east) side of the road. Remember
to slow down when taking turns so that you don't fishtail. Just keep a nice,
steady pace and try to ignore the pursuers and you should be fine.
Once at the depot, pull into the red marker to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: $5,000
Percentage Complete: 24.60%
============================
After completing this mission, you will have unlocked the Trucking
Odd Job. You will also recieve a phone call (hit L1 to answer) from "The
Truth" and a new mission location opens up in Angel Pine (indicated by the
"TT" icon on the radar), which is where you must go before completing the
rest of the Catalina missions (notice the "$" icons on the radar went away).
For now, head back to the safehouse in Blueberry to save if you want, then
go back to the RS Haul Depot in Flint County (indicated by the Truck icon on
the radar) and enter the red marker outside of the shack to begin the next
Odd Job.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vehicle Mission #5 -- Trucking (Part One)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This works like the mission "Tanker Commander", all you need to do is
drive the tanker to a specifc location within a certain time limit. You will
also have a damage meter in some of these missions that will subtract money
from the total amount the more damage you take. Also, if your cargo becomes
disconnected, you will not fail the mission immediately. You will be given
60 seconds to reattach it to your truck. Completing 8 of these missions
will give you percentage towards 100% completion of the game.
When you are ready, walk into the red marker outside the shack at the
RS Haul depot to begin the first mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #1***
*************************
For this first mission, you will be given a 2 minute time limit (2 hours
in game time) to drive to somewhere at the brewery in Red County (east of
Blueberry, indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Use the same strategy
that you used in the "Tanker Commander" mission and you should be fine (look
in that section for tips). Be sure to pause your game and check the radar to
plan your route. This one is pretty straightforward, just take the road north
and you should reach the brewery (it will be on the right side of the road).
Pull into the red marker (it will be in a random location within the brewery)
to complete this first mission. You will not get deducted in this mission for
damage or according to the time at which you arrived.
===============
Reward: $1,000
===============
Save at your safehouse in nearby Blueberry if you want, then head back
to the RS Haul depot for the next trucking mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #2***
*************************
In this one, you will have to drive the truck to Montgomery, which is
north of Los Santos. There is no time limit for this, but you will have a
damage meter for this mission, so drive very carefully. The lower the damage
meter gets, the lower your cash reward will be when you get there. Driving
like a maniac will not help here, take it slow and obey all of the laws of
traffic.
================================================
Reward: Possible $1,500 (based on damage meter)
================================================
Again, save in Blueberry if you want, then go back to the RS Haul depot
and start the next truck mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #3***
*************************
You will be given a three-star wanted level for this one (carrying
illegal goods). There is no damage meter or time limit for this one, just
get the cargo to its destination, which should be in the southeast portion
of Los Santos. If any cops try to get in your way, just plow on through,
the truck should be able to take care of anything that may get in the way.
Just keep moving and you should be fine.
===============
Reward: $2,000
===============
Upon completion of this mission, the three-star wanted level will
disappear. So, once again, save at your safehouse either in Blueberry or
Santa Maria Beach if you want, then head back to the RS Haul depot in Flint
County and begin the next trucking mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #4***
*************************
No wanted levels or damage meter on this one, it will just be timed.
You will have to go to either Angel Pine or Shady Creeks for this one. Stick
to the major streets and don't worry about hitting other vehicles to get
them out of the way because there is no damage meter. Just drive quickly and
slow down to make turns, or you could lose control or even your cargo. You
will be given a 5 minute (5 hours in game time) time limit for this one, so
plan your route carefully.
===============
Reward: $3,000
===============
Again, drive back to Blueberry or Santa Maria Beach and save at your
safehouse if you want, then head back to the RS Haul depot for the next
trucking mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #5***
*************************
This is similar to Trucking Mission #2 in which there is no time limit,
only a damage meter. The difference is that you will have to cover a much
greater distance than before. You will have to go to somewhere in eastern
San Fierro (either Easter Bay Airport, Battery Point or Easter Basin). Like
before, just drive steady and obey laws to reduce the amount of damage your
truck takes. Plan your route, the best bet is to stay on the road that your
starting place is on, it will lead you to eastern San Fierro. There is also
a tunnel that branches off about a third of the way there. You can take that
as well, that will make the trip a bit quicker.
================================================
Reward: Possible $4,000 (based on damage meter)
================================================
As usual, head back to save in Blueberry or Santa Maria Beach, then
go back to the RS Haul depot in Flint County for the next trucking mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #6***
*************************
This is similar to Trucking Mission #3, there is no time limit or
damage meter, just a three-star wanted level. Handle this one the same way
you did #3, stick to the highways and keep moving. You will be heading to
a random location. The BradyGames strategy guide says somewhere near
Angel Pine, but I had to go to Easter Basin in San Fierro. In any case,
completing this mission will net you the full cash reward no matter how
long it took and how much damage was caused.
===============
Reward: $5,000
===============
*************************
***Trucking Mission #7***
*************************
You cannot do it at this time, you must have Las Venturas (the third
city) unlocked. I will come back to this when we have access to it, later
on in the walkthrough. If you already have it unlocked, then check the
Desert section of this walkthrough for the remainder of these missions.
For now, head back to the trailer park in Angel Pine and save your game.
When you are ready, head over to the U Get Inn Motel in Angel Pine (indicated
by the "TT" icon on the radar) and walk into the red marker out front to
begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
The Truth Mission #1 -- Body Harvest
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head get in a car or hop on a bike and head over to the
entrance to The Farm Cult Location (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar)
and stop in the red marker.
After the sequence, you will have to steal the combine harvester that
is located at the back of the farm (indicated by the blue dot on the radar).
The best way to get there is to follow the fence to the right (east) of
where you enter. This way, you will mostly avoid combat with the cult
members.
When you get to the area with the harvester, kill any cult members
around here, then get up beside the combine harvester and steal it.
Now you must head back to The Truth's farm in Leafy Hollow (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). Head over to the dirt road to the west and
follow the road through the farm (grinding up the cult members along the way).
When you get back to the main road to the south, head east and you will
eventually see a dirt road on the right (south) side of the road. Take it
and follow it to the end and make a right (west). Follow this road and you
will reach The Truth's farm. Pull the harvester into the red marker inside
of the barn to complete this mission. You will also get a call from Cesar
and another mission location will appear on the radar (indicated by the "CV"
icon on the radar).
============================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 25.13%
============================
Head back to your trailer park in Angel Pine. Save if you want, then
enter the red marker nearby to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #2 -- King in Exile
******************************************************************************
Again, this isn't really a mission. Just watch the scene and you should
get a call from Catalina afterwards. Now another mission location will appear
all the way up in Fern Ridge (indicated by the "C" icon on the radar). So,
drive all the way up there and save if you want (there is a save disk next
to the cabin). Now enter the red marker in front of the cabin to begin the
next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #3 -- First Base
******************************************************************************
Just like "King in Exile", this isn't really a mission, just another
scene. After the scene, the three other Catalina mission locations return
(each indicated by the "$" icon on the radar) and you can now continue these
missions.
Hop in the Buffalo (or if you drove a car/bike here, get in that) and
head over to the Inside Track in Montgomery, it is the "$" icon that is to
the northeast of Catalina's cabin. Once there, enter the red marker out
front to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #4 -- Against All Odds
******************************************************************************
After the scene you will have 10 satchel charges. Head into the alley
on the north side of the building to pick up 10 more (if you feel you may need
more, not necessary though). Now, enter the building through the front door.
After the next scene, throw a satchel onto the brown door in front of you (hit
Circle to throw it). Hit R2 and scroll through the weapons that you have
until you get to the remote detonator. Back up to a safe distance, then hit
Circle to detonate it and blow open the door. Walk forward and throw another
satchel onto the safe in the room. Again, back up to a safe distance and blow
open the safe. A scene will play when you get the safe open.
After the scene, you will be back outside and with a three-star wanted
level. Quickly hop into whatever vehicle you came here in (indicated by the
blue dot on the radar) and head over to the nearest pay-n-spray (indicated by
the spray can icon on the radar), which is in Dillimore, the town to the
southwest. If you get to a roadblock, just simply go around it. It shouldn't
be too difficult to get to the pay-n-spray. Once there, pull into the red
marker and go inside to get rid of the wanted level (remember to not hit
anybody for a short while until the wanted stars are completely gone).
When the wanted-level is gone, head back to Catalina's cabin in Fern
Ridge (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker
to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: $2,000
Percentage Complete: 25.67%
============================
Afterwards, you will get a call from Cesar (if you're on foot). This
will open up another mission location near Montgomery (indicated by the "CV"
icon on the radar). For now, I will ignore this and get back to it a little
later. Save at the save disk next to Catalina's cabin if you want, then
enter the red marker in front of the cabin (indicated by the "C" icon on the
radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #5 -- Gone Courting
******************************************************************************
Again, this is another "scene mission". All you have to do is just
watch the scene and the last two "$" missions will appear on the radar,
allowing you to do another robbery mission. Make sure you have a machine
pistol (Tec-9, Micro-SMG, or MP5) to do a drive-by with, it should help in
the next mission.
Hop in the nearby Buffalo and drive over to the liquor store in
Blueberry (indicated by the "$" icon in Blueberry on the radar), which is to
the west of where you are (Fern Ridge), and enter the red marker out front to
begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #6 -- Local Liquor Store
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will have to chase down the other quads. They will
be marked on the radar by red dots, so if you lose sight of them you can find
them using the radar. You can shoot straight ahead from the quad you are on
(works like a bike), so get behind each of them and shoot them. They will
each drop briefcases when you kill them, forget about them for now until all
of the cowboys are dead. They will take the same route each time, from
Blueberry through Fern Ridge, Montgomery and Palomino Creek. When you reach
the first fork, I recommend taking the left path because two of them go that
way. They will reconverge again. They will also split up a couple more
times, but they will always re-join each other. There is also a unique stunt
jump along the way, just east of Palomino Creek. You will reach a bridge
here, if you jump it successfully, you will get credit for a Unique Stunt
Jump. Unique Stunt Jump's do not count towards 100% completion of the game,
but I will cover all of the Unique Stunt Jump's later on in the walkthrough
(check the Non-Required Odd Jobs section).
After killing all of the cowboys, backtrack and pick up thier
briefcases, they will be green dots on the radar. Take your time, there is
no time limit for picking up the briefcases. Once you have all three of the
briefcases, head back to Catalina's cabin in Fern Ridge (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker out front to complete
the mission.
============================
Reward: $1,000
Percentage Complete: 26.20%
============================
Afterwards, you should recieve a call from Catalina and the "C" icon
will appear on the radar (right next to where you are standing). You may
also recieve a call from Cesar about Big Smoke's courier, if it is Monday,
Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. These are two special missions that only
appear on specifc days ("Big Smoke's Cash" on Mondays and Fridays and "Yay
Courier" on Wednesdays and Saturdays). To check what day it is, hit L1 (while
on foot, to check stats) and it will say what day it is at the bottom of the
box. Check the Non Required Odd Jobs section for more information on these
missions (these are NOT required for 100% completion), in the "Big Smoke's
Couriers" section. These don't give out much cash and they are too much
trouble really, so I recommend not bothering with them. When you are ready,
save at the save disk next to Catalina's cabin, then enter the red marker in
front to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #7 -- Made In Heaven
******************************************************************************
Yet another "scene mission". Just watch it and afterwards, the
remaining "$" icon will appear once again on the radar. If you have followed
this walkthrough, it should be in Palomino Creek, which is to the east of
Catalina's cabin (in Fern Ridge).
Get into the Buffalo and drive over to the bank in Palomino Creek
(indicated by the "$" icon on the radar). Enter the red marker out front to
begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Catalina Mission #8 -- Small Town Bank
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will have to keep the two guards from shooting at
you and the two other employess from sounding the alarm. Just keep holding
R1 (to target) and hit R2 three times, L2 three times, R2 three times, etc. to
keep their arms up. Eventually, someone will hit an alarm anyway and a couple
of scenes will play.
Now, bust open the three ATMs (they each have green arrows over them)
either using a gun or a melee weapon (like a shovel) and grab the cash once
they are destroyed. Catalina will now blast open the back door and head into
the alleyway. Follow her and take out all of the cops along the way. Some
are up on roofs and there are a few in the alleyway hiding behind boxes.
After they are all dead, a cutscene will play in which two cops on
motorcycles show up. Kill them and another scene will play. Now, you must
follow Catalina on a police motorcycle (she is the blue dot on the radar).
Follow her out of town and jump across the bridge (this is also a Unique
Stunt Jump). Keep following her (there is a Police Bribe along the way) into
Montgomery and she will get hit in an intersection and surrounded by cops.
Stop next to her and let her hop onto the bike, then drive off south out of
town, then follow the dirt road west back to her cabin (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar). Pull into the red marker in front of her cabin to
complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 26.74%
============================
That's it for Catalina's missions. If you want to take a break from
the story missions, then I suggest you go to your safehouse in Blueberry,
you can now date a new girlfriend named Helena (actually, I believe you have
been able to since you got to the Badlands). You must have low muscle and
fat stats though beforehand. Check out the Girlfriends section of the Non
Required Odd Jobs section of the walkthrough for more details on how to get
100% with Helena.
If you don't like the Girlfriends aspect of San Andreas or just want to
mess around with it later, that's fine because it is not required for 100%
completion. When you are ready to continue with the story, hop in the Buffalo
next to Catalina's cabin and head to south of Montgomery Intersection
(indicated by the "CV" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker on the
dirt road to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #3 -- Wu Zi Mu
******************************************************************************
This is a racing mission, much like Cesar's "High Stakes, Low-Rider"
mission. The track runs from the starting point along dirt roads in Fern
Ridge, to Blueberry, through Blueberry Acres (there is a Unique Stunt Jump
to hit here) and through the Panopticon to the finish. The Buffalo would be
the best vehicle to use here. Use the same tactics you used to win the
Low-Rider race. Try to focus more on the course than your opponents and take
each turn slowly so that you don't veer off course. This is a fairly
difficult race and may take you a few tries, but be patient and try to learn
the course (where difficult turns are as well as straightaways). Don't worry
about the Unique Stunt Jump, it is probably best not to get this now. If you
are curious as to where it is, it is in Blueberry Acres. Once you enter the
area, stay in the middle and you should hit a ramp straight ahead and go
flying over the barn. It's hard to do this in the Buffalo, so I suggest going
around the barn.
Finish the race in first place to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: $5,000
Percentage Complete: 27.28%
============================
After the mission, the "CV" icon will appear in front of you on the
radar. We'll come back to this shortly. You should have earned around
$35,000 or so just by doing the missions in the Badlands. This, added to your
total already, should be more than enough to buy the next two safehouses.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse Purchasing (8 and 9)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make sure you have at least $75,000 before purchasing these safehouses.
If you don't have enough, then you can catch Big Smoke's Couriers or do some
Inside Track Betting in Montgomery (check out the Non Required Odd Jobs
section for info on both of these). You can also return to Los Santos and
track down drug dealers (they can usually be seen around Ganton, standing on
street corner with their arms crossed, they have around $2,000 with them) as
well as collect money from Roboi's Food Mart.
Safehouse #8: This safehouse is located in Dillimore, just east of the
Welcome Pump (where you met Catalina for the first time). This is a regular
house located in a neighborhood. It costs $40,000 and has a garage.
Safehouse #9: This safehouse is located in Palomino Creek, the town
that is northeast of Los Santos. It is another regular house, much like the
one in Dillimore. It costs $35,000 and has a garage.
============================
Percentage Complete: 28.35%
============================
Head back over to your safehouse in Blueberry and save your game. Now
go over to where the last race (in "Wu Zi Mu") finished in the Panopticon
(indicated by the "CV" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker to begin
the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #4 -- Farewell, My Love...
******************************************************************************
This is another race mission. The course is exactly the same as it was
in Cesar's "Wu Zi Mu" mission, except now, you will be going through the
course backwards: starting from the Panopticon and finishing south of the
Montgomery Intersection. You will be using a ZR-350 for this race. Use the
same tactics that you used in the last mission and you should do just fine.
Remember to take it slow on the corners and fast on the straightaways. It
helps if you know the course, so if you are having trouble, start memorizing
the route and know when the proper times to break or speed up are. The car
you are using is very fast, so you can lose control easily at higher speeds.
Again, this may take a few tries to complete.
Finish this race in first place to complete this mission.
================================================
Reward: Deed to a garage in Doherty, San Fierro
Percentage Complete: 28.88%
================================================
After completing this mission, you will recieve a deed to a garage in
San Fierro. It does not appear on the radar yet because you have to complete
another mission in order to move the storyline to San Fierro. That's right,
only one more mission to go in the Badlands!!!
After the mission, get out of the ZR-350 and you should get a phone
call shortly from The Truth (hit L1 to answer the phone). Afterwards, the
"TT" icon will reappear on the radar. Head all the way over to Angel Pine
(or Blueberry) and save at your safehouse, then head over to The Truth's farm
in Leafy Hollow (indicated by the "TT" icon on the radar) and enter the red
marker on the dirt road to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
The Truth Mission #2 -- Are You Going to San Fierro?
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will have a flamethrower. You must torch all of
The Truth's fields using the flamethrower (just press and hold the Circle
button to spew fire). You will be given a five and a half minute time limit
to burn all of the fields (the time until the chopper arrives). The fields
will be indicated on the radar by little dots. There are three clusters of
them, just go through them one field at a time. You will hear a tone once a
section has burned, so once you hear it, quickly move on to the next section.
Go up and down each row, burning them one section at a time. Burn all of the
fields to move on to the next part of this mission.
Now head over to speak to The Truth (indicated by the blue dot on the
radar) by heading into the red marker outside of The Mothership. He will
give you a rocket launcher and you must now shoot down the helicopter. It
takes only one or two shots to get it to go down, just hold down the R1 button
to go into aiming mode and use the left analog to move your aim and the Circle
button to shoot.
Once the chopper is down, run over and get into The Mothership
(indicated by the blue dot on the radar). Now drive all the way to your new
garage in Doherty, San Fierro (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar).
Take your time, there is no time limit or anybody coming after you. Once you
get to the garage, pull into the red marker outside to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 29.42%
============================
That's it for the Badlands missions, we have finally made it to San
Fierro! A save disk will appear outside of your garage in Doherty and a "CJ"
icon appears on the radar nearby as well, this is just outside of the garage.
Save at the save disk. For now, we will ignore the "CJ" as there is a lot of
new things to do in this city. I will start with the Photo Ops because it is
a great way to get familiar with the city.

Collection Mission #2 -- San Fierro Photo Ops
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are 50 Photo opportunities in San Fierro. To get all fifty, you
must take a picture of each using a Camera. To take a picture with the
Camera, hold R1 to look through the lens. Use the right analog to aim and
hit the Circle button to snap a photo (L1 instead of Circle to save it in
your gallery). You can use the L2 button zoom in and the R2 button to zoom
out.
When you look through the lens at a Photo Op, you will see a floating
camera icon (they glow at night and don't require a camera to see at night).
To get credit for each Photo Op, you must take a photo with that icon included
in the shot. You will hear a tone if you successfully took the Photo Op. So,
grab a Camera and take some pictures! If you don't have a Camera, refer to
the Weapon Locations section of this walkthrough. There are many Camera
locations in San Fierro. You can also get a Camera from Carl's house in
Ganton, Los Santos in the upstairs bedroom, next to the bed. There is another
Camera in the train station that is right across the street from Carl's garage
in Doherty (the on you win in the "Farewell, My Love..." mission).
I will be going in the same numerical order as it is in the BradyGames
Strategy Guide. Also, make sure you at least drive around San Fierro
beforehand to uncover the icons in the town (such as food places and clothing
places) because I will use these icons as starting points for most of these.
<<< Location #1: Red County - Go to the bridge that is east of the Easter Bay
Airport (and north of Easter Bay Chemicals). Stand near the south end of
the bridge and look through the camera to the north (near a few trees)
and you should see the camera icon floating in the air. It is actually
above the bridge that you are currently on. Take a picture of the trees
with the icon in it to get the first of 50 Photo Ops. Always make sure
that when you take the picture, the icon is in the center of the photo.
<<< Location #2: Easter Bay Airport - To enter the airport without a pilot's
license, go to the front entrance and use a car to hop onto the guard's
building. Once you are in, keep heading all the way to the northeast
part of the airport (near the water) and look for two white boxes on the
radar, these are hangers. Just southwest of the hangers you will see
three storage tanks. The camera icon is located in between the two
easternmost storage tanks, right above the Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher.
<<< Location #3: Easter Bay Airport - From Location #2, head northwest to
the "T" shaped structure (look on the radar for it) which is a building
with a tower right next to it. Stand on the western side of the tower
(move west a short distance as well so that you can get the icon in the
center of the photo). The camera icon is located at the very top of the
tower. You must zoom in on the icon quite a bit in order to get credit
for it.
<<< Location #4: Garver Bridge - Since the bridge is blocked off at the
moment, you will need a boat to photograph this one. You can find boats
in many places the easiest being on the north side of the Garver Bridge.
Check down on the water just north of the bridge and you should find a
boat there (I found two). There are plenty of boats in this area, it
shouldn't be too hard to find. Once you have a boat, go to the area
west of the center of the bridge. Look for the main support beams of
the bridge, there are 4 "X" shapes on the beams. Photogrpah the top
"X" (zoom in on it) and you should get credit for the Photo Op. You
will not be able to see the icon from this distance, but just zoom in
on the center of the "X" and you should get credit for it.
<<< Location #5: Easter Basin - This is the by far the toughest one to get
at this time. Pause your game and look at the map. See that white
rectangle on the map that is to the south of the Garver Bridge? That is
a military aircraft carrier. You can access this area through a gate
from the road nearby, just to the west of the carrier. What makes this
so difficult? Well, you will get a five star wanted level for entering
the area. Drive over to the eastern part of the carrier and you should
see the icon hovering above the ship. I definitely recommend getting
this one at night so that it is easier to spot the icon. Then you can
just quickly hop out of the car, snap the photo, hop back in and drive
away. To get rid of the wanted level, drive over to the nearest
pay-n-spray, which should be Downtown. !!!NOTE!!! You can also take
the picture of the aircraft carrier from the north part of the Airport.
Doing this is not going to give you the five star wanted level, but you
will not be able to see the camera icon from there, so you would have
to aim for the bridge windows and zoom in to get credit.
<<< Location #6: Garver Bridge - Head onto the bridge on foot and go up to
the barricades (as far on the bridge that you can go without getting a
five star wanted level). Point your camera up ahead (further on the
bridge) and you should see the icon in the air at the X on the support
beams in front of you.
<<< Location #7: Downtown - From the pizza place in Financial, head east on
the road and follow it all the way to the end. You should see a building
with a clock tower straight ahead at the end of the road. The camera
icon is right in front of the clock itself.
<<< Location #8: Esplanade North - From the pizza place in Esplanade North,
head over to the other side of Pier 69, to the east and you should
find a rock formation in the water. The camera icon is at the top of the
tallest rock in the formation.
<<< Location #9: Easter Basin - Go back to the entrance to where the aircraft
carrier is (don't go in though) and follow the road southwest a short
ways. Look for a building on the right (northwest) side of the road.
This is the Xoomer Gas Station. The camera icon is located above the
rotating X sign out front.
<<< Location #10: Easter Basin - This is in the southern part of Easter
Basin. You do not get a wanted level for entering this area. Go to the
building that is just northwest of the ship (the ship in the southern
part of Easter Basin), there should be a bike in it. Go northeast from
there and head out of the building and away from it a little bit. The
camera icon is located above that building.
<<< Location #11: Financial - From the pizza place in Financial, head east
past the intersection and you should see the "Big Pointy Building" on
the right (south) side of the road. The camera icon is located at the
very top of the building that is across the street to the north from the
"Big Pointy Building". To get the icon in your view, stand on the street
that is west of the "Big Pointy Building" and back up far enough so that
you can get the icon centered in your photo.
<<< Location #12: Esplanade North - Right next to the rock formation in
Location #8. The camera icon is located in front of the sign for Pier
69, which is just to the northwest from the rock formation.
<<< Location #13: Easter Bay Airport - When you reach the road leading to the
entrance of the airport, you should see a large billboard with a big
airplane in it. This is east of the freeway that is next to the stadium.
You should see the billboard if you travel east on the road towards the
airport. The camera icon is in front of that billboard (on the western
side of it).
<<< Location #14: Financial - From the pizza place in Financial, head north
on the road and make a left (west) at the next intersection. This camera
icon is located on the tall building on the left (south) side of the road
right after turning. The icon is quite high on the building, so in order
to get it centered in your view, you will have to move across the street
and go either east or west a short ways so that you are back far enough
to take the picture.
<<< Location #15: Doherty - From the road at the south end of the stadium
(it has the "!" icon by it), head east on the road and go under the
freeway and make the first left (north) that isn't the freeway entrance.
Make the second left (west) and you should see two large tanks on the
right (north) side of the road. The camera icon is in on the east side
of those tanks, in between them.
<<< Location #16: Esplanade North - From the pizza place in Esplanade North,
head to the dock that is furthest to the west (of the four docks that are
west of Pier 69). You should see a submarine docked on the eastern side
of that dock. The camera icon is located right above that submarine.
<<< Location #17: Downtown - From the Zip (Clothing Store) in Downtown, look
to the west and you should see a small park with a monument in it with a
statue at the very top. The camera icon is located on the east side of
the statue.
<<< Location #18: Cranberry Station - This is the train station that is
located right across the street from Carl's garage (the one you won in
Cesar's "Farewell, My Love..." mission). The camera icon is located in
the center of the roof that is above the train tracks.
<<< Location #19: Downtown - From the Cluckin' Bell in Downtown, head west on
the road and make a right (north) at the end. Make the next right (east)
and go into the building on the right (south) side of the road. This is
the "Zombotech" building (obviously, a stab at Resident Evil). Go inside
little further to the south and you should see a large sculpture. The
camera icon is located in the center of that, you may need to move to
the east or west side of the sculpture to see it. NOTE: There is also a
Camera in this building, just northwest of the sculpture.
<<< Location #20: Foster Valley - From the road south of the stadium, head
east and follow the road that branches to the right (south) before the
freeway. Stop at the first intersection you come to and you should see
a garden at the southeast corner. Check above the roof for the camera
icon.
<<< Location #21: King's - From the Cluckin' Bell in Downtown, head west on
the road and make a left (south) at the end. Stop at the second turn on
the right and look at the tall building on the southwest corner (shaped
like a "C"). The camera icon is located above the four poles at the
very top of the building. Move across the street from the building in
order to get the icon in the center of your view.
<<< Location #22: Calton Heights - From the pizza place in Financial, head
west on the road until you get to the curvy section. Go about halfway
up on the road and look for the camera icon above the road in the center.
<<< Location #23: Calton Heights - From the pizza place in Financial, head
west on the road and make a right (north) just before the curvy section.
Make the next left (west). Check above the lamp post right before going
into the tunnel for the camera icon.
<<< Location #24: Doherty - Check northwest of Carl's garage (the one you
won in Cesar's "Farewell, My Love..." mission) for a tall yellow crane.
The camera icon is located right above the very top of the crane.
<<< Location #25: Foster Valley - Take the road south that is just west of
the stadium (it is a "S" curve road). Look for five blue towers on the
left (east) side of the road. Right above the second tower from the
north is the camera icon. Like Location #4, you can't see it from a
distance, so just zoom in right above that building and take the picture
and you should get credit for it.
<<< Location #26: Chinatown - From the Cluckin' Bell in Downtown, head west
on the road and make a left (south) at the end, then make a quick right
(west). Stop at the third turn to the right and look for the chinese
building on the northeast corner. You should see the camera icon near
the top of the corner of the building.
<<< Location #27: King's - From the Cluckin' Bell in Downtown, head west on
the road and make a left (south) at the end, then make the second right
(west). Stop at the first intersection that you come to and look to
the southwest building at the intersection. Search the highest part of
the building and you should see a tower. The camera icon is in front of
that tower, stand across the street to get it in the center of your
picture.
<<< Location #28: Chinatown - From the Cluckin' Bell in Downtown, head west
on the road and make a right (north) at the end. Make the first left
(west) and follow this road all the way to the end. Now, you should see
a gateway to Chinatown on the road that you are on. The camera icon is
located right above the gateway.
<<< Location #29: Garcia - Located a few blocks west of Carl's garage (the
one you won in Cesar's "Farewell, My Love..." mission) is a couple of
baseball diamonds (you can see them on the map). The camera icon is
above home plate of the northern baseball field.
<<< Location #30: Garcia - From the Burger Shot in Garcia, head north on the
road and stop at the first intersection. Look to the southeast corner
for construction sign that says "Final Build Construction". The camera
icon is located right in front of that sign.
<<< Location #31: Queens - From the Binco (Clothing Store) in Juniper Hill,
head south on the road and stop right after the third turn to the right.
Look on the left (east) side of the road for a brown building with a
chimney. The camera icon is located above that chimney.
<<< Location #32: Juniper Hollow - The camera icon is located in front of the
Burger Shot sign at the Burger Shot in Juniper Hollow (on the west) side
of the sign).
<<< Location #33: King's - From the baseball fields mention in Location #29,
look to the northwest on the map and you should see a safehouse available
for purchasing. Go there. This is the Vank Hoff Park Hotel. The camera
icon is at the front entrance, right behind the sign that is next to the
road (saying "Vank Hoff in the Park").
<<< Location #34: Juniper Hill - From the Binco (Clothing Store) in Juniper
Hill, head south on the road and make the second right (west). Look on
the right (north) side of the road and you will find the "Supasave"
supermarket. The camera icon is located right above the front of the
building.
<<< Location #35: Hashbury - From the SubUrban (Clothing Store) in Hashbury,
head north on the road and make a right (east) at the end. Go straight a
short ways and stop just before this road ends. You should see a banner
above you saying "Hashbury and Garcia Joint Festival". The camera icon
is just above that banner.
<<< Location #36: Queens - Located behind the Hotel where Location #33 is.
The camera icon is in the air across the street from the northern end
of the parking lot, on the back side of the Hotel.
<<< Location #37: San Fierro Bay - This is on the ship that is just east of
the Gant Bridge (in the northwest part of San Fierro). You can get this
Photo Op from mainland to the south. Just aim the camera at the large
mast at the west end of the ship and zoom in on the top of the mast. You
should get credit for it even if you don't see the icon (much like
Locations #4 and #25).
<<< Location #38: Missionary Hill - This Photo Op is located at the top of
Missionary Hill, by the building. Look for a red and white radio tower
on the east side of the building, the camera icon will be in the air
next to that tower.
<<< Location #39: Queens - From the Ammu-Nation in Ocean Flats, head east
on the road and make the first right (south). Make a right (west) at

Stand in the street just to the west of the graveyard. The camera icon
is just above the power lines that run next to the graveyard.
<<< Location #42: Hashury - From where you took the Photo Op at Location #41,
turn around and you will see a church (to the west of the graveyard).
The camera icon is located at the top of the church at the bottom of the
spire.
<<< Location #43: Gant Bridge - This is the bridge at the northwest part of
San Fierro. Go as far as you can on the bridge (you will run into
barricades that you cannot climb over). The camera icon is in front of
the second side support beam (from the bottom) on the bridge (to the
north of where you stand).
<<< Location #44: Downtown - From the Cluckin' Bell in Downtown, head west on
the road until you come to an intersection. Look to the southwest and
you will see a couple of white skyscrapers. The camera icon is located
in between those skyscrapers about seven stories up.
<<< Location #45: Avispa Country Club - Take the small road leading into the
country club, from the western side (at the west side of the country
club) and you should see a large building on the right (south) side of
the road (the country club building). The camera icon is located at the
top of the tower on the top of the building.
<<< Location #46: Avispa Country Club - Just north from Location #45 are some

Now head back to San Fierro, it is time to do some side missions before
we delve into the story missions, starting with the next Courier mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Courier Mission #2 -- Hippy Shopper
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the second of three courier missions in San Andreas. There is
one in each major city. The one in Los Santos was located at Roboi's Food
Mart. The one in San Fierro is located at the Hippy Shopper in Queens.
This is very much like the courier mission in Los Santos, except you
are now riding a Freeway (motorcycle). To find the Hippy Shopper, head north
on the road from the SubUrban (Clothing Store) in Hashbury and make a left
(west) at the end. Stop at the next intersection and you will see the Hippy
Shopper shop at the northeast corner. To begin the mission, hop onto the
Freeway on the west side of the building.
*************
***Stage 1***
*************
You are given three minutes to drop off three packages that are nearby
the Hippy Shopper. Like the first stage of the courier mission in Los Santos,
this isn't hard to complete. Just take your time and make sure you are
accurate when throwing the packages.
*************
***Stage 2***
*************
You are given five minutes to drop off four packages to locations that
are quite a bit more spread out than last time. One is by City Hall, one in
Garcia, one Downtown and one in Chinatown. Start with the one by City Hall
and work your way clockwise (getting the one in Garcia last). This is a bit
more challenging than the last stage, but still not too difficult.
*************
***Stage 3***
*************
You are given five minutes to drop off five packages to locations spread
through north San Fierro. Start with the closest one to the north (Ocean
Flats) and again, work in a clockwise direction, getting the last one in
Garcia. Again, this shouldn't be to difficult to complete.
*************
***Stage 4***
*************
As you would expect, this is the toughest of the four stages. You will
be given seven minutes to deliver six packages to locations spread throughout
San Fierro. Just like the previous stages, work your way in a clockwise
direction, starting with the one in the northwest (around Paradiso). Get the
two Downtown next, then head south to Cranberry Station. Then get the final
two: in Garcia and around the Avispa Country Club. Now head back to the Hippy
Shopper to complete the mission.
======================================================================
Reward: Hippy Shopper now becomes an asset and generates $2,000 a day
Percentage Complete: 31.56%
======================================================================
Head back to your safehouse in Doherty to save, then head over to the
stadium in Foster Valley (indicated by the "!" icon on the radar) and enter
the red marker at the front entrance to begin the next mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Stadium Mission #2 -- Blood Bowl
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In this stadium event, you will be in a Bloodring Banger and you will
have a passenger in your car that will shoot at other competitors as you
drive by them. You will need to collect checkpoints that will be scattered
in random locations throughout the arena. With each checkpoint you get, your
time will increase by 15 seconds. As your car gets damaged by the competition
you will see wrench icons that appear randomly. Pick one of these up to
repair your vehicle. Concentrate mostly on the checkpoints rather than
destroying your competition and you should do fine. This gets easier the
further you get in the mission.
Get your time above one minute to complete this mission.
===========================================================================
Reward: $10,000 and the Bloodring Banger appears in the parking lot of the
stadium, near the front door.
Percentage Complete: 32.09%
===========================================================================
Again, save at your safehouse in Doherty, then head over to the Gym in
Garcia and enter it to begin the next side mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gym Mission #2 -- San Fierro Gym
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the same as the Los Santos Gym. Work out at this gym and get
to a "buff" level. Then head into the red marker in the gym and respond
positively (hit Right on the D-Pad). Now you will have to fight the trainer.
The first one to knock their opponent out of the ring wins. Just keep
knocking the trainer backwards by using puches or kicks and block (Square
Button) when necessary.
=========================================================================
Reward: Three new moves learned: Running Attack, Ground Attack and Combo
Attack, all performed with Triangle Button (Kicks)
Percentage Complete: 32.62%
=========================================================================
Head back to your safehouse in Doherty and save your game. That's it
for the side missions for now. There is one other side mission you can do at
this time, the NRG-500 Challenge, but I recommend that we come back later
with a higher Bike skill (not Cycling skill). Now, lets continue with the
story missions. Head into the red marker next to the save disk at Carl's
Garage in Doherty (indicated by the "CJ" icon on the radar) to begin the next
mission.
******************************************************************************
Carl Johnson Mission #1 -- Wear Flowers in Your Hair
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into the Emperor (indicated by the blue dot on the
radar, blue arrow over it) and drive over to pick Jethro up in Easter Basin
(indicated by the blue dot on the radar) at the Xoomer Gas Station. Once
there, drive into the red marker and sound the car horn (hit L3).
Now head over to the Hospital in Santa Flora (indicated by the red "+"
icon on the radar) and pull into the red marker. Next, head over to the hot
dog stand in King's just down the street (indicated by the blue dot on the
radar) and honk the horn (hit L3) after you pull into the red marker to pick
up the next guy.
Now go to the police station in Downtown (indicated by the blue icon on
the radar) and pull into the red marker. Next, head over to Zero's RC Shop
in Garcia (indicated by the blue dot on the radar) and honk the horn (hit L3)
as soon as you pull into the red marker.
Finally, head back to your garage in Doherty (indicated by the yellow
dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: None
Percentage Complete: 33.16%
============================
Afterwards, you should receive a phone call from Zero (hit L1 to
answer). This unlocks a new mission location at Zero's RC Shop in Garcia
(indicated by the "Z" icon on the radar). Let's ignore that for now and
continue with the missions at Carl's garage. Save at the save disk nearby,
then enter the red marker nearby (indicated by the "CJ" icon on the radar) to
begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Carl Johnson Mission #2 -- 555 We Tip
******************************************************************************
After the scene, steal a car and head over to the Vank Hoff Hotel in
Financial (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red
marker out front. Now, follow the valet in the ZR-350 (indicated by the red
dot on the radar, red arrow over the car) into the underground parking lot.
Wait until he parks the car and gets out, then kill him by any means (gun,
fists, whatever). Pick up his uniform when he dies and Carl will change into
it.
Go back outside and to the valet spot in front of the hotel (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar) and walk into the red marker. Now wait around
until a blue Merit pulls up (the other valets will point it out). Make sure
you get it (if another valet gets it, just pull him out of the car), then
drive it over to your garage in Doherty (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). You will be given a two and a half minute time limit to get make it
there and back. Stick to the main (straight) roads and you should be fine.
Once at your garage, pull into the red marker.
Now head back to the hotel (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar)
and pull into the red marker. Do not hit anything along the way, because if
there is any dent, you must take it back to your garage to get it repaired.
Again, stick to the straight roads and be extra careful when you reach an
intersection. The trolley tracks in the center of the road are good to follow
so that you don't have to continuously avoid traffic. When you reach the
garage, park the car in a space in the underground parking lot by pulling into
the red marker.
Leave the garage and head back out front and walk into the red marker
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: None
Percentage Complete: 33.69%
============================
Afterwards, you will see a red marker in front of the hotel you were
just at in the mission. This will begin the Valet mission, you must be
wearing the Valet uniform that you just obtained by completing this last
mission. So, head back to the nearest safehouse (for me, the farm in
Whetstone) and enter the changing room. Choose the Valet Uniform under
"Special" and change into it. Now head back to your garage in Doherty and
save your game. Head over to the Vank Hoff Hotel in Financial (just east
of the pizza place in Financial) and enter the red marker in front to begin
the next side mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vehicle Mission #6 -- Valet Parking
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In this mission, you will be parking people's cars for them. Get into
a car that pulls up to the hotel (cars you can take are indicated by blue
dots on the radar and blue arrows over them) and drive it into the underground
parking lot. Park it perfectly in the spot to get more time (if its parked
crooked in other spots, you won't get as much bonus time). While underground,
rotate the camera (using the right analog) to the left to see where you need
to park the car. Do not kill the other valets, you will get 20 seconds taken
off of your time. You will also get seconds taken off if you damage the car.
Once you park a car, you must run back to the front of the hotel to get
the next car. In the first level, you must successfully park three cars. You
start with a two minute time limit, but you will get time bonuses with each
car that you park. The number of cars you have to park increases with each
level you go up. To complete this mission, successfully complete level 5.

Now lets take the money that we got from the valet, stadium, and courier
missions and use it to purchase the next safehouse, in the northern section
of San Fierro.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse Purchasing (12)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Make sure you have at least $20,000 before purchasing this next house.
I chose this one to by next because it would give us a place to save in the
north part of San Fierro.
Safehouse #12: This one is located in Paradiso, near the west coast of
San Fierro. It costs $20,000 and has a garage. There is a pay-n-spray
nearby as well as a clothing store (Binco) and Burger Shot.

Change clothes here (if you don't like the valet uniform) and save your
game. Now would be a good time to date Katie. For information on how to get
100% with Katie, check out the Girlfriends section in the Non-Required Odd
Jobs section of this walkthrough.
When you are ready to continue with the story missions, head back over
to Carl's garage in Doherty (indicated by the "CJ" icon on the radar) and
enter the red marker outside to begin the next mission.

Carl Johnson Mission #3 -- Deconstruction
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will have to destroy the six portables on the
construction site. Each are indicated by green dots on the radar. There are
a couple of different methods that you can use to destroy the portables.
One method would be to get into the bulldozer and run into the portables
using it. Of course, you would have to watch out for the explosive barrels
that lie next to the portables. This is, IMO, the easiest method to use.
Note that there are explosive barrels next to two of the buildings: the one
at the northwest part of the area and the one to the far south. Be sure to
shoot these to destroy them.
Another method (and the most fun), would be to get into the crane near
the yellow building (enter the red marker near it and hit the Triangle Button
to enter). The controls are pretty straightforward, use the Left analog to
rotate the wrecking ball as well as move it out and in. Hit the X Button to
lower the ball and hit the Square Button to raise the ball.
In either case, you will be given a three minute time limit from when
the first is destroyed (or when you shoot a construction worker). Destroy all
six portables using any method you want. When that is done, then the next
part of the mission will begin.
After the scene, hop into a bulldozer and push the port-a-potty
(indicated by the red dot on the radar) into the hole (indicated by the yellow
dot on the radar). It doesn't matter if you get the bulldozer in the hole as
well, just get out of the hole if you do. Now get into the cement truck
across the lot (indicated by the blue dot to the south on the radar) and back
it into the red marker (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) by the hole
to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: None
Percentage Complete: 35.30%
============================
Afterwards, hop out of the cement truck and you should get a phone call
(hit L1 to answer) from Jethro. The Driving School will now be unlocked.
Save your game at the save disk nearby, then head over to the Driving School
just to the south of your garage in Doherty (indicated by the Red "S" icon
on the radar) and enter the building to begin the next mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
School Mission #1 -- Driving School
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the first of four schools in San Andreas. In order to complete
this mission, you must get a medal in each of the tests. To get a bronze
medal, you must score between 70 and 89 percent. For a silver, score from
90 to 99 percent and to get a gold medal, you must get 100 percent on the
test. If you get all bronze medals (or better), a Super GT will be parked
outside of the school so that you can drive it freely at any time. Get all
silver medals (or better) and a Bullet will be parked outside. Get all
gold medals (or better) and a Hotknife will be parked outside. Some of these
tests are fairly easy, while others can be extremely tough and nearly
impossible to get a gold on, be warned!
To start the school, enter the building (the red "S" icon on the radar)
and enter the red marker to begin.
**********************
***Test #1: The 360***
**********************
Vehicle Used: Infernus
Time Limit: 10 Seconds
Strategy: This is simple, just press and hold the X and Square Buttons
and press the Left Analog stick either to the right or left.
Do a full donut (rotate around until you get back to the
starting postion) to obtain a gold medal.
**********************
***Test #2: The 180***
**********************
Vehicle Used: Blista Compact
Time Limit: 10 Seconds
Strategy: This one is a bit more tougher than the last test. You must
do a complete 180 degree turn. The easiest way to do this is
by using the handbrake (R1) to turn. Slide around the turn
(make sure not to hit any cones!) using the handbrake and drive
back to the starting position. Make sure you pull into the
starting position straight to obtain a gold medal.
*********************************
***Test #3: Whip and Terminate***
*********************************
Vehicle Used: Banshee
Time Limit: 5 Seconds
Strategy: This is a little bit easier than the last test. This is just a
simple, straighforward turn. Make sure you park as close to
the back cone as you can (and as straight as you can) to get
obtain a gold medal. Again, use the handbrake (R1) to make a
more precise turn.
******************************
***Test #4: Pop and Control***
******************************
Vehicle Used: Police Car
Time Limit: 5 Seconds
Strategy: More challenging than test 2, you must control the cop car with
its tires popped. Be sure to release the X Button before
hitting the spikes, than press down the X Button again after
the tires have been popped. This makes it much easier to
control. Be sure to park it as straight as you can at the
finish and do not hit any cones and you should obtain a gold
medal. Also, angle the car a little to the left before you hit
the spikes, as the car tends to go right when you hit them.
***************************
***Test #5: Burn and Lap***
***************************
Vehicle Used: Banshee
Time Limit: 35-40 Seconds
Strategy: This is VERY tough to get a gold medal on. This is an oval
track and you must complete five laps within 35 seconds to get
a gold medal (40 seconds for a bronze). Time out your turns,
so that you can cut each corner without knocking over the
inner cone(s). The easiest way to do this test would be to
never let go of the X Button and just use the handbrake to slow
down and slide around the inner cone. This test will probably
take many, many tries to get a gold medal, but it will be
worth it. The key for me to get a gold on this was using the
method I described above: when I hit the handbrake, it seemed
the earlier I hit it, the crisper my turns would become. I
usually hit the handbrake when I got to the three cones away
from the one I was supposed to be turning around on. Before,
I was hitting the handbrake at around the 2nd cone (before the
one I was supposed to be turning on) and I was getting from
90%-95%. On the first try when I hit the handbrake earlier,
I was able to get 100%.
************************
***Test #6: Cone Coil***
************************
Vehicle Used: Banshee
Time Limit: 10 Seconds
Strategy: This test is much easier than the last one, but still fairly
difficult. As you head around each bend, let go of the gas
slightly. When you reach the end of the first part, make a
U-Turn, much like you did in the last test. When you near
the end, slow it down a little bit so that you can steer it
back into the starting point as straight as possible. This
will take a few tries to get a gold medal, but be patient.
***********************
***Test #7: The '90'***
***********************
Vehicle Used: Banshee
Time Limit: 5 Seconds
Strategy: This one seems simple to perform at first, but it is actually
almost as tough to get a gold medal as Test #5 is. All you
need to do is parallel park in between the two cars without
hitting either. Angle your car a little to the right (or left)
and press and hold the Square Button to get the car to turn
sideways and aim it in between the cars. This one may take
very few or very many tries, it is based more on luck rather
than skill.
****************************
***Test #8: Wheelie Weave***
****************************
Vehicle Used: Banshee
Time Limit: None
Strategy: This is another one based more on luck than skill. Steer to
the left a little bit at the beginning, then straighten the car
out as you hit the ramp. Keep it on two wheels and go straight
and try to get the car straight into the red marker to score a
medal. Get it perfectly straight to get a gold medal. This is
bit easier than the last test and it shouldn't take a whole lot
of tries to get a gold medal.
**************************
***Test #9: Spin and Go***
**************************
Vehicle Used: Taxi Cab
Time Limit: 5 Seconds
Strategy: This is a tricky one. Look behind you (Hold R2 and L2 Buttons)
and hold down the square button to back up. Time it right so
that when you hit the curve, you can swing the cab around and
drive straight to the finish. The key here is to take it slow
in the curve and make sure you do not hit any cones. This take
a little bit of practice, but it isn't too hard to obtain a
gold medal.
*******************************
***Test #10: P.I.T. Maneuver***
*******************************
Vehicle Used: Police Car
Time Limit: Till You Cross the Finish Line
Strategy: A P.I.T. Maneuver is when you hit the backend of another car
from the side and spin them around. This isn't very hard, but
it is a very useful technique. To obtain a gold medal, perform
the maneuver as quick as possible while taking minimal damage.
You don't even have to cross the finish line to get 100%, just
perform the manuever and you should be fine.
*************************
***Test #11: Alley Oop***
*************************
Vehicle Used: Banshee
Time Limit: 5 Seconds
Strategy: This is another tough one. Aim your car so that your right
wheels line up with the left part of the arrows on the ramp.
This way your other wheels should be to the left of the ramp
and you will do a barrel roll when you hit it. Hold down the
X Button until you are in the air, then relase it and use the
Left Analog to rotate the car so that it make a full barrel
roll. Once you do that, make sure you park it due south
(parallel with the ramp) to obtain a gold medal. This will
take quite a few tries and much practice, but it is very
doable.
*****************************
***Test #12: City Slicking***
*****************************
Vehicle Used: Super GT
Time Limit: 100-120 Seconds
Strategy: This is the last test, and naturally, it is one of the
toughest. You must get from the driving school to Pier 69
and back within 100 seconds (a minute and 40 seconds).
Sound easy? Well, you must take zero damage as well, to get
the gold! This game seemed to want to throw everything in
the book at me. From cars coming to complete stops in
intersections to cars appearing on hills below me. One time,
I had a perfect run going and I was about a few blocks from
the driving school with only 1:19 on the clock and I am
cruising back in the trolley lane. Well, guess what? As I
am going full speed, I get nailed by a trolley coming in the
other direction before I could even react!
Anyways, the best route to take would be to head to the right
at the beginning and go down the hill and across the train
tracks. Make the first left and follow this road all the way
up to the marker. Take the road that the marker is on straight
and make a right after you go down a hill. Make the next left
and you should be on the road that will take you pretty much
straight back to the driving school. Using this route, I was
able to finish at a minute and 39 seconds. This will take
many, many tries because many different things could happen
(look at my examples above). Drive in the center of the roads
as much as possible to avoid traffic. Be patient and you
should be able to get a gold medal.
!!!Alternate Strategy for City Slicking Test sent in by Steve Schultz!!!
The best route is to take a right out of the school and instead of going down
the hill, make the first left (with the trolley tracks) instead. Stay on the
road until it ends (staying in the trolley tracks or center of the road) and
cut through the grass to the NE and onto another road heading north. Be
very careful when going down the hill into the next intersection, as there is
usually a car or a bike near the checkpoint. After getting the checkpoint,
whip a 180 (hold the handbrake or regular brake and turn either left or
right). Now follow the same route back and you should get a gold medal easily
after a few tries or less.
============================
Reward: Driving Skill+
Percentage Complete: 35.83%
============================
That's it for driving school. The car(s) that you obtained from getting
all gold, silver, or bronze medals appear in the parking lot just outside of
the school. When you are ready to continue with the story, head back to
Carl's garage in Doherty and save your game. Now enter the red marker nearby
(indicated by the red circle icon on the radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #1 -- Photo Opportunity
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car (or you can take one of the cars that
you just won at the driving school) and head over to meet Cesar way out near
Blueberry (indicated by the blue dot on the radar). Once there, get into
Cesar's Savanna. Now drive all the way over to Angel Pine (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar). Once there, pull into the red marker outside of
the "Lovin' a Loan" building.
Get out of the car and use the stairs to get to the roof of the
building. Enter the red marker to start the next part of this mission. Now
you must take four specific photos of interest of the drug gang. Leave the
Camera where it is and zoom in on the green dumpster in the alleyway. When
Ryder pulls up, Cesar will make a comment. Now photograph Ryder's face (make
sure you are zoomed in quite a bit). Another car will pull into the alleyway
(a ZR-350). Photograph the face of the man driving this car to get the second
photo op of the mission.
Follow the second man with the Camera as he walks to the right. You
will see another brown car to the right and a man get out of that and walk
with the second man. Take a picture of this guy's face to get the third photo
op of the mission. The final photo op is the face of yet another man as he
gets out of a Broadway that pulls up from the left (keep the Camera in the
same area as the third guy and you should see him).
All of these guys are marked with red arrows over their head when they
get out of the car. When you photograph each successfully, the red arrow goes
away and CJ or Cesar will make a comment about each. Photograph all four guys
successfully to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: Respect+
Percentage Complete: 36.37%
============================
After the mission Cesar drives off, leaving you standing there without
a vehicle. Well, steal the nearest vehicle and drive back to your garage in
Doherty, San Fierro (indicated by the red circle icon on the radar). Save
your game, then enter the red marker nearby to begin the next mission. Also,
make sure you have an automatic weapon before starting this mission, like an
MP5 or a Tec-9.
******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #2 -- Jizzy
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car and head over to the Pleasure Domes
Club (indicated by the blue dome icon on the radar) under the Gant Bridge in
northwestern San Fierro. Once there, walk into the red marker outside of the
club.
After the scene, get into the Broadway and drive the girl to a building
in Downtown (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red
marker out front. After the next cutscene, you will have two minutes to
drive over to a restaurant in Hashbury (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). Once there, you will find a pimp harassing a girl. The pimp has a
red marker over his head. Get out of the car and kill him using any weapon
(or you can run him over). Get back in the Broadway and another scene will
play.
Now you must save another girl, this time in Foster Valley, underneath
the freeway overpass (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). The girl's
health bar will appear in the upper right part of the screen. Get to the
scene before her health bar depletes. Once there, kill the two guys with red
arrows over their heads, again by using any weapon (or by running them over).
Get back into the car and another cutscene will play.
Now drive back Downtown (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar).
There is no time limit this time. Pull into the red marker outside of the
building once more. Now chase after the limo and SUV and pull alongside of
the SUV and shoot at it. Keep chasing them and performing a drive-by until
the SUV has exploded. Now do the same to the limo. Blow up the limo to
complete this mission.
============================
Reward: $3,000 and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 36.90%
============================
After the mission, you will get a two star wanted level, so head over
to the pay-n-spray in Downtown (or collect two police bribes, check out the
Locations section) to get rid of them. Now get out of the car and you should
recieve a phone call from Woozie. This will unlock a new mission location in
Chinatown (indicated by the white arch icon on the radar). Ignore this for
now and save at your safehouse up at Paradiso. Now head back to the Pleasure
Domes Club by the Gant Bridge (indicated by the blue dome icon on the radar)
and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. Again, make
sure you have a automatic weapon like a MP5 or Tec-9.
******************************************************************************
Jizzy Mission #1 -- T-Bone Mendez
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop into a car and head over to where the van is being
ambushed in Downtown (indicated by the blue dot on the radar). When you get
there you will automatically hop onto a FCR-900 and chase the four thieves
on the bikes. Follow the bikers and get right behind them, then start
shooting with your machine pistol. They all split up, so track them down by
using the radar. Each of the thieves are indicated on the radar by red dots.
When you kill one, make sure you pick up the package that he dropped. After
about 5 minutes, the bikes will start heading for the meeting spot, so make
sure you have all four packages by then. You can also grab a package by
pulling up right next to the biker or right behind him and hitting the L1
Button. This is the easiest and quickest method to use.
After collecting the four packages, head back to the Pleasure Domes
Club under the Gant Bridge (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and
enter the red marker to complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $5,000 and Respect+

mission.
******************************************************************************
Jizzy Mission #2 -- Mike Toreno
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop into the Premier and head over to the construction
site in Doherty (after some conversation, it will be indicated by a yellow dot
on the radar). T-Bone will accompany you on this mission. You will have
about 5 and a half minutes to get to Mike (till his phone battery dies). Once
you get to the area, they will tell you to head to Easter Basin (again, it
will be indicated by a yellow icon on the radar). When you reach the area,
you will be led to the airport afterwards (again, it will be indicated by a
yellow icon on the radar). Go to the front entrance to the airport.
Once you are in the airport, a Signal Bar will appear on screen, the
more it fills, the closer you are to Mike. They are found in the northern
part of the airport. Once you find them, they will appear as a red dot on
the radar. Once you reach the van, kill the guys on the motorcycles nearby,
then kill anyone that gets out of the van (they all have red arrows over their
heads). After they are all dead, a cutscene will play.
Now, destroy the van using any weapon, then hop into the Limo that is
next to the van. Head out of the airport the same way you came in and pull
into the red marker at the entrance to the airport (indicated by the yellow
dot on the radar). Now you will recieve a three star wanted level. Get over
to the nearest pay-n-spray in Downtown (indicated by the spray can icon on
the radar) to get rid of the wanted level. Afterwards, head back over to
the Pleasure Domes Club under the Gant Bridge (indicated by the yellow dot on
the radar) and pull into the red marker to complete this mission.

******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #3 -- Outrider
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to the gas station in Easter Basin (indicated
by the blue dot on the radar) and approach the car with the blue arrow over it
to trigger a scene. Now drive the Washington over to the van's location
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) to the south in Doherty. Once
there, pull into the red marker. Walk over to the Sanchez and pick up the
Sniper Rifle and Rocket Launcher next to it. Then, hop on the Sanchez.
Quickly go to the first roadblock (indicated by the red dot on the
radar) in King's. Stop a short distance away and blast each of the three
cars (with red arrows over them) using your rocket launcher. Once they are
destroyed, get back on the Sanchez and drive to the next roadblock (again,
indicated by the red dot on the radar) to the southwest.
Approach this roadblock and use what remaining rockets you have to
destroy the cars here. If you run out of rockets, just use an AK-47 or any
other gun that you have. Also, take out the three snipers above you (on the
south side of the road). When the roadblock has been taken out, get back on
the Sanchez and drive to the next roadblock (again, indicated by the red dot
on the radar) in Doherty.
Deal with this roadblock the same way that you dealt with the last one.
There will be a couple more snipers in the building to the east. After this
roadblock is destroyed, the final roadblock is just down the street. Again,
destroy this roadblock like you did to the others. Now escort the van to an
area in Garcia to complete this mission.
============================
Reward: $9,000 and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 38.51%
============================
Afterwards, you will recieve a three star wanted level. Quicklt get
over to the pay-n-spray in Downtown (just northeast of your garage in Doherty)
to get rid of the wanted level. Now head back to your garage in Doherty and
save your game. When you are ready, enter the red marker nearby (indicated by
the "C" icon on the radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
C.R.A.S.H. Mission #4 -- Snail Trail
******************************************************************************
After the scene, go and get the Sniper Rifle from the construction site
(indicated by the green dot on the radar), it is located in a sewage pipe.
Now head into the street to the east and get into a car (or on a bike) and
follow the train tracks. There is a Sanchez parked on the north side of
Cranberry Station (where the reporter is). Don't worry about trying to get
on the train before it leaves, you will not be able to make it in time, just
get into a vehicle and follow the train by driving along the tracks. It's
best to stay on the left tracks in order to avoid oncoming trains. Follow
the train all the way to Market Station in Los Santos.
Once at the station a "Spook-o-meter" will appear at the top right
corner, so keep your distance from the reporter in order to keep the meter
down. When he stops and waits for a cab, run to the closest street (be sure
to keep your distance from the reporter still) and steal a car. Now follow
the cab (indicated by the red dot on the radar) that the reporter gets into
all the way to Santa Maria Beach. Again, keep your distance until they reach
the end of the pier.
Now get out of your car (or off of your bike) and take out your sniper
rifle. Hole R1 to aim and use L2 to Zoom In and R2 to Zoom Out. Snipe both
the reporter and the contact to complete this mission. Once one is killed,
the other will start running. Either snipe him (which may be hard when the
target is moving) or take out any weapon and kill him.
============================
Reward: None
Percentage Complete: 39.04%
============================
Afterwards, make the long trek back to your garage in Doherty, San
Fierro and save your game. When you are ready, enter the red marker nearby
(indicated by the red circle icon on the radar) to begin the next mission.
!!!NOTE!!! This is another Night Mission. You can only begin it by entering
the red marker between the hours of 8 pm and 6 am (20:00 and 06:00). Also,
be sure to have a machine pistol such as a Tec-9 or MP5 before starting this
next mission.
******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #4 -- Ice Cold Killa
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car and drive over to the Pleasure Domes
Club under the Gant Bridge (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and
walk into the red marker. Now head up the ramps to the south of the building
(going up the side of the Gant Bridge). Keep making your way up the series
of ramps and you will soon end up above the roof of the building to the Club.
Now drop down onto the roof and walk into the skylight on the roof (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar).
Once inside the Club, walk across the catwalk, then down the ramp and to
the balcony. Once on the balcony, walk to the left (west) and go down the
stairs to the south to reach the second floor. Now walk to the left (west)
again and down another set of stairs to reach the bottom floor. Once there,
approach Jizzy (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) to trigger a scene.
Now chase after Jizzy (killing the guards along the way) and follow him
out the front door. Note that you will need a machine pistol for this next
part. If you don't have one, then kill Jizzy's guards and they will drop
Tec-9's. Once outside, hop into the Stretch (limo) and follow Jizzy's car
(indicated by the red dot on the radar). Once you catch up, pull alongside
his car and perform a drive-by. Once his car is ready to explode, he will
likely get out of the car and run. Just kill him using any weapon (or run
him over), then collect the cell phone that he drops to complete this mission.
=============================
Reward: $12,000 and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 39.58%
=============================
Depending on where you killed Jizzy, you should be somewhere nearby your
safehouse in Paradiso. Save your game there, then head over to Pier 69 in
Esplanade North (indicated by the red circle icon on the radar) and enter the
red marker to begin the next mission. Make sure you have a sniper rifle
before starting this. If you don't have one, you can get one from Carl's
garage in Doherty if you have taken all 50 Photo Ops. You can also get a
sniper rifle in Los Santos, check the Weapons Locations section of this
walkthrough for directions on how to get it. Also, having Body Armor will
help a lot before going into this next mission. Again, check the Locations
section of this walkthrough for directions on how to get some Body Armor.
And, also, be sure to pick up another machine pistol if you don't have one.
******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #5 -- Pier 69
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get to the roof of the building that Cesar is on. Do
this by going to the west side of the building. Look for Cesar's Savanna
on the sidewalk, and walk into the building right in front of the car. Go
up the stairs here, then go over to Cesar (indicated by the blue dot on the
radar) to trigger a scene.
Now use the sniper rifle and kill the six guards across the street on
the rooftops. There are three on the left building and three on the right.
When they are all dead, more scenes will play. After the scenes, head back
down the stairs and run across the street to Pier 69. Make sure that you use
a weapon that you can run with, such as the Shotgun or AK-47. Kill all of the
Ballas en route to T-Bone (indicated by the red dot on the radar). When you
reach T-Bone, kill him using any weapon and a cutscene will play.
After the scene, jump into the water and swim after Ryder. He will get
into a Speeder, so climb into the other one (use the Square Button to climb up
and the Triangle Button to start driving it). Now drive up beside Ryder and
shoot at his Speeder repeatedly until it blows up. This shouldn't be too hard
because there is no traffic to worry about hitting while performing the
drive-by. Blow up Ryder's boat to complete this mission.

Afterwards, head all the way back to San Fierro, either by boat or car
and go back to your garage in Doherty and save your game. Then, enter the
red marker nearby (indicated by the red circle icon on the radar) to begin the
next mission.
******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #6 -- Toreno's Last Flight
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to the helipad in Downtown (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar). Try to get a fast car beforehand, such as a Bullet
or Super GT (from Driving School). Once there, kill all of the guards that
you see (be sure to drive quickly up to the helipad or you might get hit by
one of the rockets that Mike's men shoot at you), then run around the south
side of the helipad and go up the steps. !!!NOTE!!! It would be easier if
you didn't have any wanted level before going up the steps, so if you do,
drive around until they go away or go to the nearest pay-n-spray. A scene
will play, then afterwards continue up the steps to the helipad and kill the
two guards up here (if you didn't before). Then grab the rocket launcher
here (has a yellow arrow above it) and get back into your vehicle (or any
fast vehicle).
Continue south on the road and follow it as it curves west. Take the
first left (south) and follow this road for a short ways and you will see a
freeway on-ramp to the left. Get on the freeway and follow it south and
you should catch up to the helicopter. Keep chasing it and stop once you
get a little bit ahead of it. Get out of your car and switch to your rocket
launcher. Now, aim and shoot at the helicopter. This is very tough to do so
because the chopper flies so fast, but for the most part it will fly in a
straight line (sometimes changing sides of the highway though). Just aim a
little ahead of the chopper's path and fire. Hopefully, you will hit the
helicopter. If you do, it will only take one hit to bring it down. This
mission may take several tries to do, but after a litte practice with the
rocket launcher, it shouldn't be too difficult. Once the helicopter is
destroyed, the mission will be complete.

RC Shop in Garcia (indicated by the "Z" icon on the radar) which is just west
of your garage in Doherty. Once there, walk into the spinning green marker
and hit L1 to purchase the property.
============================
Percentage Complete: 41.18%
============================
After buying it, you should recieve a phone call from Zero (hit L1 to
answer the phone), after which a new mission location will appear (indicated
by the "Z" icon on the radar) right outside of Zero's (or your) shop.
!!!NOTE!!! If you want to take a break from the story missions, then I
recommend dating Michelle. Check the Girlfriends section of the Non-Required
Odd Jobs section of the walkthrough for details on how to obtain 100% progress
with Michelle.
When you are ready to continue, go to Zero's RC Shop in Garcia
(indicated by the "Z" icon on the radar) and enter the red marker out front to
begin the next mission. Make sure you start this mission during the day, as
it will be almost impossible to do at night.
******************************************************************************
Zero Mission #1 -- Air Raid
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will be in control of a mini gun and you must
protect the transmitters from the RC Baron's for 3 minutes. This is a tough
mission, but it can be fun (if you don't get too frustrated). Just hold down
the Circle Button since you have unlimited ammo and don't have to reload. If
you see any groups of planes, take them all out. Obviously, the farther away
the plane is, the harder it is to hit it. So, try to hit the ones that are
closer and are approaching the building. Don't try to shoot down any planes
that have already let their bombs go, concentrate on the ones that still have
their bombs. The planes are very flimsy, usually it takes only one hit to
make them go down. All you gotta do is defend the transmitters for three
minutes and if they survive, the mission will be complete.

Afterwards, head back to your garage in Doherty to save your game if you
want, then head back to Zero's RC Shop (indicated by the "Z" icon on the
radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Zero Mission #2 -- Supply Lines...
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will be in control of an RC Bandit plane. You must
hunt down and destroy the five couriers (each indicated by red dots on the
radar) without blowing up or running out of fuel. You will have about five
and a half minutes worth of fuel, so don't take too long in destroying each
courier. First, destroy the van to the south of where you start. Just
swoop down on the side and fire at it using the machine gun (hold L1 to fire
it). It will also help to land behind the bike (or whatever vehicle you are
going to shoot) and get your aim straight (use L2 and R2 to control where the
plane is aiming) before firing at it. After destroying the van, head east
from there to the nearest red dot and destroy the bike in the same way that
you destroyed the van. When you shoot at the bike, the rider will get off of
it and start shooting at you, so kill him quickly after he hops off the bike.
Once he is killed, go for the next closest red dot on the radar. This
should be northwest (or west, depending on the path that the van choses,
which is random) of where you are (if you need to, pause the game and look at
the map). This is another van, be careful though, because they are armed and
will fire at you as soon as you fire on them. Once the van is destroyed, head
for the next nearest courier, which should be across town around Queens or
Downtown. Usually, the closest one two guys on a Sanchez. They will shoot
at you as soon as you shoot at them, so make sure you have your aim straight
before firing. Also, they will not hop off of the bike, so you will have to
blow up the bike in order to kill them. The final dot is another van, just
like the third courier that you destroyed. Again, they wil shoot at you as
soon as you fire at them, so again make sure your aim is straight. You will
have to blow up the van in order to kill them. Sometimes, they will get out
of the van and run right before it explodes, so just hunt them down and kill
them before they can get away.
Once all five targets are destroyed, quickly head back to the roof of
Zero's RC Shop (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and fly into the red
marker to complete this mission. Note that you will need at least a quarter
of a tank of fuel if you want to make it back to the shop.

Afterwards, head back to your garage in Doherty to save your game if you
want, then head back to Zero's RC Shop (indicated by the "Z" icon on the
radar) and enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission, which
will be the last of Zero's missions.
******************************************************************************
Zero Mission #3 -- New Model Army
******************************************************************************
After the scenes, you will be in control of a Goblin helicopter. It
has a magnet attached to it. Use this magnet to pick up any objects that are
in the way of the Bandit that Zero is controlling. To pick up an object,
lower the Goblin down right above the object and hit the Circle Button to
pick it up. There will be an eight minute time limit for Zero to reach
Berkeley's base.
Fly forward and pick up the barrel that is on the bridge and drop it
(hit Circle again) anywhere else that is out of the way. Continue up the
path a short ways and remove another barrel from the path. Now fly back to
the base (starting point) and grab a bomb that is just to the left of the
wooden planks. Ignore Zero for now and leave him stranded by the river, this
will make things much easier in the long run. Pick up a bomb in the same way
that you pick up a barrel. Now fly over to one of the tanks that is along the
path and carefully drop a bomb onto it. There are two other tanks to destroy,
so head back to the base again, pick up a bomb and destroy another one.
Repeat the process once more to destroy all of the tanks. Now, head back to
the base and pick up a wooden plank.
Fly over to the river and drop the plank to where the path should cross
the river. This will form a bridge so that Zero can cross it. There is one
other place to cross the river further along the path, so once you have
dropped the first into place, go back to the base and pick up another plank
and repeat the process. After that, clear any other barrels that may be on
the path. Start with the one that Zero is right by and work your way forwards
on the path, clearing out any barrels that are blocking the path. If you have
over 1:15 left at this point (when you start clearing the rest of the barrels
out of the way), then this should be enough time for Zero to reach Berkeley's
base. When he does, the mission will be complete.
=======================================================
Reward: $7,000 and Zero's RC Shop now becomes an asset
and generates $5,000 a day
Percentage Complete: 42.79%
=======================================================
That's all for Zero's missions, breathe a sigh of relief as these were
the toughest missions so far in the game. Also, completing these missions
will unlock a new Odd Job in the back room of Zero's Shop. This is not
required for 100% completion of the game, but it is fun and is a good way to
earn some extra money as well. Check out the Beefy Baron setion of the Non
Required Odd Jobs section of this walkthrough for more details.
Now lets utilize some of the money that we earned by doing these
missions and buy another safehouse. Head over to Chinatown when you are ready
and make sure you have at least $20,000.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse Purchasing (13)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I chose this next location because of its close proximity to the next
set of story missions, Woozie's missions.
Safehouse #13: This one is located in Chinatown, just northeast of the
white arch icon on the radar (the icon for Woozie's missions). It costs
$20,000 and doesn't have a garage.

When you are ready to begin the next mission, head over to Chinatown
(indicated by the white arch icon on the radar) and enter the red marker.
******************************************************************************
Woozie Mission #1 -- Mountain Cloud Boys
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into any car and head over to the storehouse that
is owned by a Triad (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into
the red marker. Now follow Woozie through the alley and the gate. After the
next scene, a health bar will appear near the upper right corner (this is
Woozie's health meter). If it depletes, Woozie will die and the mission will
be over. So, you must protect him. First, start by killing all of the guys in
the alleyway by the car, then move forward and kill the guys on the
motorcycles. Next, head around the corner and kill all of the guys, including
the sniper up on the roof of the building to the west.
After everyone is dead, a scene will play, then you will be back in a
car. Instead of driving away, just sit around and let Woozie destroy the two
enemy cars (be sure to keep a distance when their cars are about to explode).
You may also perform a drive-by to help out, if you have a machine pistol
handy (it's not necessary though). After destroying both enemy cars, head
back to Woozie's place (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull
into the red marker to complete the mission.

******************************************************************************
Woozie Mission #2 -- Ran Fa Li
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car and drive over to the airport (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). There is no time limit to do this. Once at
the airport, head towards the front gate on the upper level and make a right
turn and follow the road around until you see a red marker. Pull into the
marker and follow the road into the parking area (head towards the blue dot on
the radar). Once you are there, get into the car (with a blue arrow over its
head) and a scene will play.
Now a damage meter for the car will appear near the upper right corner
of the screen. You must now drive the car to the northeast corner of San
Fierro, in Esplanade North (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) without
getting the car destroyed. Now, head forward and go left through the opening
and you will soon see a truck block the way, so hook left, then make another
right to head back to the main road (follow the exit signs). As you exit the
airport, you will be pursued by guys on motorcycles. Just perform a drive-by
on them and keep heading north. When you reach Esplanade North, pull into the
red marker in front of the garage to complete the mission.

******************************************************************************
Woozie Mission #3 -- Lure
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into the Rancher (indicated by the blue arrow over
it) and drive over to Angel Pine (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar).
Once there, pull into the red marker to trigger a scene. After the short
scene, hit the accelerator and head for the checkpoint to the left (indicated
by the red dot on the radar). A damage meter has also appeared on the right
side of the screen. If that gets depleted, you will fail the mission. Just
drive carefully and if one of the motorbikes pulls up beside you, either hit
the brake or veer away from it to avoid taking damage. Keep following the
dirt path (or road) to stay on course for the checkpoints. Just pull into the
eighth checkpoint to complete the mission.

Reward: $8,000 and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 44.92%
============================
Now, in order to begin the next mission, you must build up your
swimming stats. The only way to do that is to swim! This is a perfect time to
begin the next collection mission, the oysters. There are 50 oysters
scattered throughout San Andreas. In Los Santos, there are 15 and in San
Fierro there are 19. So, you will collect a total of 34 oysters in order to
bring up our swimming stats. I will go in the order that they are listed in
the Brady Games Strategy Guide. So, head all the way back to Los Santos and
to the Bluffs that are west of the Observatory (Verdant Bluffs).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Collection Mission #3 -- Oysters (Part One)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In order to get these oysters, you will need to dive under water. To do
this, simply hold the circle button down. Your swimming ability only increases
while underwater, so dive as much as you can.
<<< Location #1: Verdant Bluffs - Go to the south entrance of the tunnel
along the coast just west of the Observatory. Jump into the water and
search around in the water right next to the cliff wall and you should
be able to find this oyster. To get back to land, follow the cliff's
edge to the north and you will eventually reach a beach (don't forget
to dive underwater along the way) on the north side of the tunnel.
<<< Location #2: Mulholland - Go to Madd Dogg's Mansion in Mulholland (it
is the house just northeast of the Burger Shot and has a windy gray path
leading up to it if you look at the map). This oyster is located in his
back yard, in the pool on the upper tier. You do not need to dive to get
this one.
<<< Location #3: Playa Del Seville - This oyster is located just off the end
of the small pier in Playa Del Seville (in southeast Los Santos).
<<< Location #4: Ocean Docks - Go to the southeast part of the Ocean Docks
area (just west of the large ship in the docks on the far east side).
Head down the stairs to the south down to the dock. You will find the
oyster just off the south side of the dock, in the center (right next to
the dock).
<<< Location #5: Ocean Docks - This oyster is located underneath the
center of the southernmost bridge heading into the docks. You don't have
to dive very far down to get this one.
<<< Location #6: Ocean Docks - If you follow the road east across the bridge
where Location #5 was it will curve north. Keep following the road until
you reach another bridge (heading towards where you found #4). This
oyster is located underneath that bridge, under the center.
<<< Location #7: Los Santos International - Go to the southwest corner of
the airport, where the highway makes an "L" curve and heads east towards
the tunnel (the other side of the road heads north towards the west side
of the airport). This oyster is off the southwest coast. Search more
towards the north part of the curve of the beach.
<<< Location #8: Verona Beach - This oyster is located underneath the
pedestrian bridge that is on the beach, just west of the pier (the pier
that doesn't have buildings on it). It is located in the water between
the two pedestrian bridges.
<<< Location #9: Marina - Follow the channel of water north from where you
found #8 for a ways and you will eventually come across this oyster
underneath the third bridge that you pass under.
<<< Location #10: Santa Maria Beach - This oyster is located just to the
south of the lighthouse in the southwest corner of Los Santos.
<<< Location #11: Glen Park - This oyster is located in the center of the
pond in Glen Park (which is in the center of the park, under the bridge).
For those who don't remember, Glen Park is the small park located in the
center of Los Santos, just east of Downtown.
<<< Location #12: Fisher's Lagoon - Fisher's Lagoon is the body of water
just southwest of Palomino Creek. Head to the beach area on the southwest
tip of Palomino Creek and you will find a small pier here. This oyster
is in the water, just off the edge of that pier (you can faintly see the
peir on the radar as a small grey box next to the beach).
<<< Location #13: Frederick Bridge - This oyster is located underneath the
easternmost bridge (for the railroad) between Los Santos and Las
Venturas. It is located in between the third and fourth support beams of
the bridge (if you start counting from the south). You will need to
dive fairly far down to get it. Look for it just to the north of the
third support beam. You will not get a wanted level for getting this,
unless you swim too far north.
<<< Location #14: Red County - This oyster is located underneath the bridge
just south of the highway that is running along the north edge of Los
Santos. It is the road to the north of the road that heads west out of
Palomino Creek (just northwest of the safehouse in Palomino Creek). You
will find the oyster under the center of the bridge.
<<< Location #15: Red County - This oyster is located underneath the bridge
to the east of Blueberry (the bridge that crosses the river to the east
of Blueberry, not the south one). You will find the oyster under the
center of the bridge.
That's all for the oysters in Los Santos, lets return to San Fierro and
collect the oysters there.
<<< Location #16: Gant Bridge - This is the northwestern most bridge in San
Fierro and it leads north to Tierra Robada. After getting into the water
and swimming to the north from under the south side of the Gant Bridge,
swim up to the first set of support beams and check on the southeast side
of them for this oyster.
<<< Location #17: Easter Basin - This oyster is located at the east tip of
the military carrier that is in the north part of Easter Basin. You can
swim to it from the north side. You will get a five star wanted level for
collecting this one. Look for it on the north side of the eastern end of
the ship, then quickly get back to shore and head to the nearest
pay-n-spray, which should be in Doherty. Hint: Get a fast car and park
it at the dock to the north of the carrier and take the boat there. Get
the oyster and get back in the boat and head back to the dock. Hopefully,
your car should still be there. Get in it and drive as fast as you can
to the pay-n-spray. If this method doesn't work, try getting into the
boat after collecting the oyster and drive it all the way to Santa Maria
Beach. Then, hop in one of the cars in the parking lot on the west side
of the pier and drive it into the pay-n-spray, which is very close by, to
the east.
<<< Location #18: Easter Basin - This oyster is in the southern part of
Easter Basin, in the water at the southwest (back) end of the large ship
there. You will need to dive fairly deep to collect this one. Use the
dock to the southeast to get back onto land.
<<< Location #19: San Fierro - This oyster is in the water at the west
(front) end of the boat that is in the far northeast corner of San
Fierro (out in the bay, to the northeast of Esplanade). You will need to
dive fairly deep again to get this one.
<<< Location #20: San Fierro Bay - This oyster is located in the water at the
west end of the ship that is just to the east of the Gant Bridge (in the
northwest corner of San Fierro). You will need to dive far down to get
this one.
<<< Location #21: Missionary Hill - This oyster is located in the lake just
south of the Avispa Country Club (on the south side of the freeway that
enters San Fierro from Mount Chiliad). Search the center of the lake for
this one.
<<< Location #22: Garver Bridge - This oyster is under the bridge that heads
northeast from Easter Basin in San Fierro to Las Venturas. Look for this
oyster under the support beams at about the halfway point between the
two islands. Search in between the two support beams.
NOTE: At this point, I have maxed out my lung capacity stat. You should be
close by now if not already maxed out. If you aren't, swim under water
as much as you can while collecting the remaining oysters.
<<< Location #23: Easter Bay Airport - This oyster is located at the end of
the long runway at the Airport (long green strip on the radar, with a
black rectangle and a white line in it). Just keep going northeast
after the runway ends and drop off the edge into the water. You should
see the oyster close to the wall.
<<< Location #24: Easter Basin - This oyster is located in the center dock
of the three docks just to the south of the military carrier. You will
get a five star wanted level for getting this one. Just use the same
method as before for getting rid of the wanted level.
Now, lets collect the oysters in the Badlands.
<<< Location #25: Flint County - From the Flint Intersection (just west of
Rodeo in Los Santos), take the road heading south along the coast (not
the highway, but the two lane road). Follow it as it curves west, and
right where it curves south again, search off the coast in the water
for this oyster. It is more toward the south end of the curve.
<<< Location #26: Flint County - From the Flint Intersection, take the
highway south and follow it as it curves west. Once you pass over water,
head off the road and go north to the dirt road to the north (you can
see the dirt road on the radar. Go to where it crosses over the water
and you will find this oyster underneath the wooden bridge, in the
center.
<<< Location #27: Flint County - Just follow the river south from Location
#26 until you come to another bridge (actually, what you were just on,
when on the highway). This oyster is located underneath that bridge.
<<< Location #28: Whetstone - This oyster is located underneath the bridge
that is directly east from the summit of Mount Chiliad. The bridge is
also just southwest from your safehouse (the farm). Search on the west
side of the central support beam.
<<< Location #29: Mount Chiliad - This oyster is located underneath the
bridge that is on the northwest side of Mount Chiliad, it heads north
into the southwest corner of San Fierro. Search under the center of the
bridge, in between the first and second support beams (from the south).
<<< Location #30: The Panopticon - This oyster is located in the northwest
corner of the Panopticon (west of Blueberry). Look for this oyster just
off the shore. Go to the far west end of the wooden fence (on the
beach) and swim a bit to the east and you should find this oyster.
<<< Location #31: Red County - This oyster is located underneath the bridge
that is south of Blueberry Acres (and directly west from Dillimore).
Note that this is NOT the bridge that is south of Blueberry, but the one
to the southwest of that. Just search under the center of the bridge.
<<< Location #32: Flint County - This oyster is located underneath the
bridge that is just south of the bridge where Location #31 is, just
keep following the same road south. Search under the center of the
bridge.
<<< Location #33: Richman - This oyster is located underneath the railroad
bridge that is just northwest of the RS Haul Depot (Trucking place)
and is just southeast from Location #32. Just search under the center
of the bridge.
<<< Location #34: Flint Intersetion - This oyster is located underneath the
bridge of the highway right next to the tunnel (that leads into Los
Santos). It is the next set of bridges when following the river south
from Location #33. Search for this underneath the center of the bridges,
right in between the two.
That's all for now, the remaining 16 oysters can be found around Las
Venturas, so I will cover the rest when we get there. Now, head back to your
safehouse in Chinatown and save your game. You should now have more than
enough swimming skills to take on the next mission. When you are ready, head
over to Woozie's place (indicated by the white arch icon on the radar) and
enter the red marker out front to begin the next mission. !!!NOTE!!! This
next mission is a night mission and is only available between the hours of
8 pm and 6 am (20:00 and 06:00).
******************************************************************************
Woozie Mission #4 -- Amphibious Assault
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car and head over to the docks in
Esplanade North (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and walk into the
red marker to trigger a scene. Afterwards, swim forward into the first two
checkpoints, then dive underwater (using Circle) to go through the third
checkpoint. Keep going through to the next checkpoint. Then, you will have
to dive again to get the next checkpoint. Resurface to the next checkpoint,
then dive once again to get the next checkpoint. Once you get out in the
clear, surface to get an overview of the situation.
Now, you must swim to the tanker (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). Dive underwater and swim towards the tanker and resurface when you
are almost out of air. If the patrolling guard boats spot you, dive
underwater again until it passes by. Try to keep your distance from them
anyways, they will appear as red dots on the radar. If they don't spot you
then wait at the surface until your breath meter (which is the blue meter in
the upper right corner of the screen) replenishes. Head over to the
northwest part of the boat and climb up onto the dock. Head up the stairs
and pick up the knife at the top. Turn left and walk (don't run) forward
and you will see a guard with his back to you. Sneak up behind him and kill
him using the knife. Keep moving forward and try to be as sneaky as possible.
If someone sees you, then kill them using the knife (they have knives as
well). Once at the back of the ship, head up the stairs on the south side
(kill the guard along the way) and sneak up behind the guard here and kill
him (again, using the knife). Now enter the door next to him and go down
the steps.
Kill the guard at the bottom of the stairs and step into the red
marker. Hit the Triangle buttom to plant the bug. Now head back up to the
deck and follow the same route that you took all the way back to the pier
(you will need to dive underwater again to avoid the patrol boats, head
towards the yellow dot on the radar). Once at the pier, enter the red marker
to complete the mission.

******************************************************************************
Woozie Mission #5 -- The Da Nang Thang
******************************************************************************
After the scene, you will be up in a helicopter and have control of the
minigun. When the chopper reaches the ship, just open fire and kill the
guards on the ship. A rocket will eventually hit the chopper (you can't
prevent this from happening) and a scene will play. Afterwards, you will
wind up in the water. Swim over to the red marker (indicated by the yellow
dot on the radar) next to the ship (note that you will have lost all of your
weapons except the knife) and a scene will play.
Now, sneak up behind the guard in front of you and kill him using the
knife. Be sure to pick up the rifle that he dropped. Next, climb up the
crates next to where the guard was and keep climbing up (head north as well).
Sneak up behind the guard to the north and kill him as well. Use the rifle
you got and kill the other guard at the top of the crates (chances are he has
spotted you by now). Keep heading west (you will need to climb down and
climb up another series of crates) and kill the guards along the way.
After turning a corner and facing south, check a small alcove to the west
for a heart icon (this will restor any lost health). After turning the next
corner, you will find a Micro-MP5. Pick it up for more ammo, then kill any
remaining guards. Drop down into the hole and climb out the other side, then
keep dropping down off of the containers and walk into the red marker at the
bottom to trigger a scene.
Now, kill the first man and drop down off of the crate. Climb up the
crate to the right (south) and you will find more ammo and some body armor
in the hole. Climb back out and continue along the path, killing any men
that you come across. When you turn one corner, there will be a long pathway
and a man at the end. He will throw a grenade, so immediately run to avoid
it, then return to the hallway and follow the path to the large red crate.
Shoot the lock off of it (just target it and fire) to trigger a scene. Now
head back the way you came and climb up the crates. Head towards the bridge
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and kill the guard at the door.
Keep moving forward and kill the two guards at the top of the stairs.
Continue up the stairs to trigger a short scene. Now, target the man and kill
him (it should only take a couple of swipes).
After killing him, head back out the way you came and head east, climb
up a couple of crates and then hop down to the refugees (indicated by the
blue dot on the radar) to complete the mission.

******************************************************************************
Syndicate Mission #7 -- Yay Ka-Boom-Boom
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop in a car and drive to the garage Downtown
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker to
trigger a scene. Now head down to the crack factory in Doherty (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). Once there, perform a quick drive-by on
the two guards at the gate to trigger a scene. Now, either get out of the car
and kill all of the guards, or perform a drive-by on them (whichever is
easier for you). Then, make your way to the back of the factory (indicated
by the yellow dot on the radar). Once there, drive up the ramp to get
inside the building. Drive to the back of the building (kill the two guards
as well) and pull into the red marker and press the Circle button to activate
the bomb. After the short scene, make a run for the entrance to the building,
don't even worry about the guards shooting at you. Once out of the building,
a scene will play.
Now you need to make it out of the compound. Head towards the front
gate (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar), killing any guards along the
way. Once there, a car will enter and the gate will shut. Kill the two
guards who got out of the car and hop in the Voodoo. Now drive forward
(running over the guards along the way) and you will see a ramp where the
yellow dot on the radar is. Use this ramp to scale the wall in the Voodoo
and escape the compound. Now, head back to your garage in Doherty
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and drive into the red marker to
complete the mission.

Afterwards, hop out of the Voodoo and you will recieve a phone call
shortly (hit L1 to answer it). Now, a question mark icon will appear on the
radar and the bridges will now be open for you to cross into Las Venturas!
Before heading there, lets make some more money and finish up the trucking
missions.
You will also get a call from Jethro and a new series of missions will
be unlocked at the showroom just to the north of your safehouse in Doherty
(indicated by the "CV" icon on the radar).
Save your game, then head over to the RS Haul Depot (indicated by the
truck icon on the radar) in Flint County. Save at your safehouse in
Santa Maria Beach (it is closest to the Depot), and enter the red marker
outside of the shack to begin the next trucking mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vehicle Mission #5 -- Trucking (Part Two)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*************************
***Trucking Mission #7***
*************************
In this mission, you will have around 5 minutes to drive the truck all
the way to a random location somewhere in north San Andreas. I had to go to
the Bayside Marina, but you may have to go to the Sherman Dam or the Green
Palms. Plan your route by looking at the map and determing the fastest way to
get there. As usual, drive carefully and try not to cause any damage to the
truck. The more damage you take, the less your reward will be if you
successfully reach the destination. To complete this mission, just pull
into the red marker (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar), wherever it
may be.
=====================
Reward: $7,000 (Max)
=====================
Now head back to the RS Haul Depot from wherever you are (if you want,
save first at your safehouse in Santa Maria Beach) and enter the red marker
outside of the shack (indicated by the truck icon on the radar) to begin the
last trucking mission.
*************************
***Trucking Mission #8***
*************************
There is no time limit on this one, however, you will have a four star
wanted level for the illegal goods and you will have to travel to any
part of Las Venturas. This may sound really challenging, but it really is
not if you follow the train tracks. Just head straight from the starting
point until you come to the tracks and follow them through Los Santos all the
way to Las Venturas. You will still encounter the occasional cop car, but the
tanker is quite resilient and will be able to take hits at high speed without
seperating from the truck. Once entering Las Venturas, be sure to look at
the map and plan the best way to get to your destination. Stick to the
train tracks as much as possible. Like all of the previous trucking missions,
just pull into the red marker (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) to
complete the mission.
====================================
Reward: $10,000 and RS Haul becomes
an asset and will generate
up to $2,000 per day
Percentage Complete: 47.06%
=====================================
Now the trucking missions are complete. Note, however, that you can
return to the RS Haul and do some more trucking missions. These will vary in
difficulty, distance, reward and time. This is another good way to earn money
if you don't want to bet on the horse races. Any additional trucking missions
will not raise your percentage complete though. RS Haul has also become an
asset and will generate $2,000 per day. Be sure to stop by and collect it if
you are in the area.
Next, lets continue doing side missions before continuing with the
story. When you completed the last mission for Woozie, a new side mission
became available (when you unlocked the third island). That is the freight
train mission. So, head to any train station (I chose Market Station in Los
Santos and saved my game beforehand at the safehouse in Verona Beach) and wait
for a train to stop.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vehicle Mission #6 -- Freight Train
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In order to begin this mission, wait at any train station for a train to
stop. Then, run up to the engine and hit Triangle by the door to get in the
train. Once in the train, hit the R3 button to begin the this mission. The
controls are simple: X Button to accelerate and Square Button to decelerate.
However, note that it takes it while for the train to speed up as well as to
come to a complete stop. Once the mission has started, you will see the
display on how fast you are going, the distance from the target (indicated by
the yellow dot on the radar), and the time limit for the mission. Generally,
keep the train at a speed of about 45 when travelling long distances. When
beginning to approach the destination, slow down early so that it will allow
plenty of room for the train to slow down and so you won't overshoot the
target. If travelling around 40-45, start breaking when around 350 away from
the target. You must successfully make 5 deliveries in the row to complete
the first level. After completing the first level, get out of the train
(go and save your game if you want), then get back in (or in another train)
and hit the R3 Button to begin the next level. The second level is basically
the same as the first, not even more difficult (at least, I didn't notice any
rise in difficulty). Again, to complete this mission, just deliver five more
successfully in a row.
============================
Reward: $50,000
Percentage Complete: 47.60%
============================
That's all for the side missions for now. You can do some in Las
Venturas (such as the stadium), but I will wait until the story moves us
there. Now, lets finish purchasing the safehouses in San Fierro. Once you
have at least $210,000, head back to San Fierro so that we can purchase more
safehouses. If you don't have enough, then I suggest earning some more money
by doing more trucking missions or by any other odd job (or, if you really
want, through the betting place).

School Mission #2 -- Boat School
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is the second of four schools in San Andreas. In order to complete
this mission, you must get a medal in each of the tests. To get a bronze
medal, you must score between 70 and 89 percent. For a silver, score from
90 to 99 percent and to get a gold medal, you must get 100 percent on the
test. If you get all bronze medals (or better), a Marquis will be docked just
to the north of the school. If you get all silver medals, a Squallo will
appear there and if you get all gold, a Jetmax will appear there. There are
only five tests at this school. When you are ready, enter the red marker
inside of the school to begin.
*******************************
***Test #1: Basic Seamanship***
*******************************
Vehicle Used: Coastguard Boat
Time Limit: 12 Seconds
Strategy: This is simple, just press and hold the X Button. When the
timer reaches about 6 seconds, let go of the X Button and
press and hold the Square Button to slow down and stop in
between the buoys.
****************************
***Test #2: Plot a Course***
****************************
Vehicle Used: Coastguard Boat
Time Limit: 40 Seconds
Strategy: This is a little bit more difficult, but still fairly simple.
Just pilot the boat through the two buoys and continue through
another set of buoys and another set...until you reach the
finish line. The game hints at holding the R1 button to make
a sharper turn, but it is not needed to get the gold on this
one.
***************************
***Test #3: Fresh Slalom***
***************************
Vehicle Used: Dinghy
Time Limit: 2 Minutes
Strategy: This is similar to the last test, except it is a bit longer
and a few more sharp turns. It is still pretty simple though.
Just use the same strategy as with the last test and you should
be fine.
**************************
***Test #4: Flying Fish***
**************************
Vehicle Used: Vortex
Time Limit: 45 seconds, Jump over 55 Meters
Strategy: This is much tougher than the previous tests. On this one, you
must hit a ramp and fly for over 55 meters (67 meters for a
gold). The best way to get the gold on this is to turn right
at the start and head towards the Gant Bridge. Once almost at
the bridge, make a U-turn (without letting go of the gas) and
head straight for the ramp (indicated by the yellow dots on the
radar). Right before hitting the ramp, hold back on the Left
Analog to get more air. Once in mid-air, hold up on the Left
Analog to tilt the ship forward.
********************************
***Test #5: Land, Sea and Air***
********************************
Vehicle Used: Vortex
Time Limit: 3 Minutes
Strategy: This is a bit easier than the last test, but still may take a
few tries to get the gold. It is very similar to Test #3,
except longer and a few ramps are thrown in to the mix. Using
the R1 button on a few of the turns will help shave a few
seconds off of your time. Just be patient and very careful
(seconds will be taken off if damage is taken).
============================
Percentage Complete: 50.27%
============================
That's it for Boat School. Next, lets continue with more story
missions. Make sure you have at least $50,000 (if you don't have enough, use
any means to obtain more money: trucking, taxi, or betting) and head over to
the Wang Cars dealership (indicated by the "CV" icon on the radar). Once
there, step into the rotating house icon and hit L1 to purchase the
dealership. Now, new missions will be unlocked.
============================
Percentage Complete: 50.81%
============================
Head back to your safehouse in Doherty (right down the street) and save
your game if you want. Then, enter the red marker nearby (indicated by the
"CV" icon on the radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #5 -- Zeroing In
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head towards the red dot on the radar. Note that it
will eventually turn yellow, then fade away. Keep close and it the dot will
reappear when the owner of the car makes another call. Just keep following
the red dots on the radar (they will lead you all around San Fierro) until
you have caught up with the car (it will have a red arrow over the roof).
Once you have caught it, use the P.I.T Manuever that you learned in Driving
School (get behind the car, then clip the back corner to spin it out of
control) to spin the car around. Once you have done that, the driver will
get out of the car and flee. So, get out of your car and get in hers and
drive it back to your garage in Doherty (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). Pull into the red marker to complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $5,000 and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 51.34%
============================
Afterwards, a message will tell you that Wheel Arch Angels is now open
for business and the cars that you steal in these missions can be found
afterwards at the dealership. For more info on Wheel Arch Angels, check out
the Non-Required Odd Jobs section. Now save at your safehouse in Doherty if
you want, then enter the red marker nearby (indicated by the "CV" icon on the
radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #6 -- Test Drive
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into a car (make sure Cesar is with you) and drive
over to the dealership downtown (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar).
Once there, pull into the red marker to trigger a scene. Afterwards, drive
through the window and follow Cesar (he is marked on the radar by a blue
dot and has a blue arrow above his car). Just keep following him and you
will eventually be chased by cops. Once the game hints at it, hit the L1
Button to trigger the nitrous. Just keep up with Cesar as he zig-zags
throughout San Fierro. Eventually you will come to an alleyway. Follow
him in, then immediately back up when you see the cop car coming. After
this, just follow Cesar through the roadblocks and then meet him back at
the garage in Doherty (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Just pull
into the red marker to complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $5,000 and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 51.88%
============================
Afterwards, save at your safehouse in Doherty if you want, then enter
the red marker nearby (indicated by the "CV" icon on the radar) to begin
the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #7 -- Customs Fast Track
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get into the Savanna with Cesar and drive over to the
Easter Basin docks (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Once there,
get out of the car and walk into the red marker and hit the Triangle Button
to operate the crane. Pick up the first container (X Button to lower the
magnet and Sqaure Button to raise it) and move it into the red marker down
below (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Once the container is very
close to the ground and in the red marker, hit the Circle Button to release
it. Cesar will say that it is the wrong one, so lift the magnet once more
and move it to pick up the next crate. Repeat the same process and Cesar
will again tell you that it is the wrong one (no matter which one you choose).
So, repeat the process a third time and you will finally get the right car.
After the short scene, get out of the crane (using the Triangle Button)
and shoot the gangsters with whatever weapon that you have. If you don't
have a weapon, you can use the crane to kill the gangsters just by swinging
it around and hitting them with it. After both groups of gangsters are
dead, get into the car and head back to your garage in Doherty (indicated by
the yellow dot on the radar). Pull into the red marker to complete the
mission.
=====================================================
Reward: $10,000 Max (depends on damage) and Respect+
Percentage Complete: 52.41%
=====================================================
Afterwards, you will get a short tutorial explaining imports and
exports, which is now available. This is a great way to earn some cash, so
lets take a break from the story missions and complete this side mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exporting/Importing
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you head over to the Easter Basin docks (where the last mission was),
you will find a chalkboard with a list of cars on it. You must find all of
the cars on the list and bring them to the ship to be exported. There are
10 cars total and once you find all of them, a new list will appear with 10
more cars. There are a total of 3 lists to complete. To export the cars,
you must drive them to the docks and you can either drive them up the ramp
of the ship and into the red marker there, or you can drive them and enter
the crane, then drop the car into the red marker on the ship. So, now that
we know the basics, lets hunt some cars! Note that where I put the location
isn't always necessarily where you are going to find one. Also note that the
reward is if there is no damage to the car. The more damage, the less your
reward will be.

| | | southeast corner of Flint County, just follow |
| | | the main highway that is south of Angel Pine |

| | | can be quite common at times. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Blista | 35,000 | You can find one parked just south of the |
| Compact | | entrance to the Easter Bay Airport. Look |
| | | for the small communications tower on the |
| | | right side of the road after passing under |
| | | the large sign with a plane sticking out of |
| | | it. You will need to hop over the fence to |
| | | get to it. To get out of the airport with |
| | | it, just drive off the ramp that is to the |

| | | road every once in a while as they are quite |
| | | common. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Stafford | 35,000 | You can find one parked in front of the Vank |

| | | Baseball Field in Garcia, San Fierro. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| FCR-900 | 10,000 | This one isn't so easy to find on the road. |

| | | sometimes find on on the street in San |
| | | Fierro. You can find a parked one in the |
| | | far northwest corner of Las Venturas, in |
| | | Prickle Pine. From the safehouse in Prickle |
| | | Pine, head north and make a left (west) at |
| | | the end. When this road curves right (to the |
| | | north), check the house on the northeast |
| | | corner and there should be one in the |
| | | driveway. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Rancher | 40,000 | These are quite common around the country- |
| | | side. You can find a parked one at the |

| | | find it parked on the west side of a barn. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Stallion | 19,000 | You find one parked at Juniper Hill in San |
| | | San Fierro. From the Binco (Clothing Store) |

| | | parking lot. You can usually find one parked |
| | | here. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Tanker | 35,000 | You can find one east of the Bayside Marina. |

| | | find one parked on the north side of the |
| | | diner. They are also quite common in the |
| | | countryside. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Comet | 135,000 | You can find one parked by the tennis courts |

| Car | Reward | Location Usually Found |
| === | ====== | ====================== |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Blade | 19,000 | You can usually find one parked at Cesar's |
| | | house in El Corona, Los Santos. This is on |
| | | same street as your safehouse in El Corona. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Freeway | 10,000 | From the SubUrban (Clothing Store) in |
| | | Hashbury, head north on the road and make a |
| | | left (west) at the end. Look at the |
| | | northwest corner of the next intersection and |
| | | you should find one at the Hippy Shopper |
| | | (where the Courier mission was). |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Mesa | 25,000 | You can usually find one parked at the south |
| | | end of Mount Chiliad, where the finish line |
| | | is for the Chiliad Challenge (it is at the |
| | | base of the mountain). |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| ZR-350 | 45,000 | These are usually common around the Downtown |
| | | area. You can also find one in Las Venturas |
| | | along "the Strip", at the west end of the |
| | | Clown's Pocket. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Euros | 35,000 | This is the only time this car is available. |
| | | So, I suggest stealing one and storing it in |
| | | a garage, then steal another and export that |
| | | one. It can only be found in Las Venturas, |
| | | parked at the entrance to the Camel's Toe, |
| | | which is along the strip. The entrance is |
| | | on the east side of the building, underneath |
| | | the sphinx. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Banshee | 45,000 | You can usually find one parked on the north |
| | | side of the San Fierro Gym in Garcia. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Super GT | 105,000 | Normally, these are hard to find, but just |
| | | the one outside of the Driving School to make |
| | | this real simple. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Journey | 22,000 | You can find one at the very top of Mount |
| | | Chiliad. They are also fairly common on the |
| | | roads in the countryside. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Huntley | 40,000 | This is the toughest one to find, since there |
| | | is no set area where one is parked. You can |
| | | usually find them, however, during the day |
| | | around the Prickle Pine area in northwest Las |
| | | Venturas. They are SUV's and look similar to |
| | | Ranchers. |
+--------------+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| BF | 15,000 | You can find one on the beach just |

******************************************************************************
Cesar Mission #8 -- Puncture Wounds
******************************************************************************
After the scene, get in the car and head towards the target car
(indicated by the red dot on the radar). Follow the road heading south
through Foster Valley and you should eventuall catch up with her somewhere
north of Angel Pine. Try and get directly in front of her, then press the
Circle Button to drop the stinger. If you miss, just try again since you
have three of them. When you do pop her tires, she will get out of the car
and run away. So, get out of your car and approach hers to trigger a scene.
Aftewards, the tires are fixed, so head back to your garage in Doherty
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and pull into the red marker to
complete the mission.

============================
Wang Cars is now an asset and will generate $8,000 per day. That's it
for those series of missions, now head over to Tierra Robada (indicated by the
"?" icon on the radar) and save your game at the new safehouse. When you
are ready, enter the red marker nearby to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Mike Toreno Mission #1 -- Monster
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop into the monster truck and head towards the first
checkpoint (indicated by the red dot on the radar). As the game said, you
need to have a better time than 6:50 to pass. There are a grand total of 35
checkpoints in this mission, so don't waste any time! Don't worry though,
6:50 is more than enough time, so just be careful and take it slow. The
biggest threat to ending the mission is the hills. On some, if you take them
too fast, you risk rolling the truck over. So, make sure to hit the brakes
a little when getting ready to go over a hill. Other than that, this mission
should be quite simple. Just pull into the 35th checkpoint in under 6:50 to
complete the mission.
===========================================
Reward: $5,000 Max Depending on your place
Percentage Complete: 55.08%
===========================================
You will get a phone call from the mystery man after the mission (hit
the L1 Button to answer) and the "?" icon will reappear on the radar.
Afterwards, save at the save disk nearby, then enter the red marker
nearby (indicated by the "?" icon on the radar) to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Mike Toreno Mission #2 -- Highjack
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop on the bike in front of you (make sure Cesar gets
on as well) and head over to the truck (indicated by the red dot on the
radar), which should be around the Garver Bridge, heading into San Fierro.
So, head onto the Garver Bridge yourself and follow the freeway south. You
should reach the truck soon. When you do, pull along side he driver's (left)
side and hold the motorbike steady by the front door. You will see Cesar get
ready to jump. If you match the speed of the truck and keep the bike steady,
Cesar will jump off the bike and take the truck. When this happens, get off
of the bike and into the truck when told to do so. Now, just drive the truck
back to your garage in Doherty (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar) and
drive it into the red marker to complete the mission.
===========================
Reward: $7,000
Percentage Complete: 55.62%
============================
After the mission, you will get another cell phone call (hit L1 Button
to answer) from Mike and a "T" icon will now appear on the radar in Tierra
Robada, at his ranch. So, head there and save your game if you want, then
enter the red marker to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Mike Toreno Mission #3 -- Interdiction
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop into the BF Injection nearby and head over to El
Castillo del Diablo (indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). There is no
time limit, so take your time. Take the dirt road that is just east of the
Sherman Dam and go into the ghost town. Pull into the red marker to trigger
a scene. Now, grab the rocket launcher and hop in one of the vehicles (I
chose the Bandito, but any one of them will work fine). Drive west on the
dirt road (towards the yellow dot on the radar) until you reach Arco Del
Oeste, which is a rock formation shaped like an arch. Drive up to it by
following the dirt road up and around, then head south and you will find an
old wooden track. Follow that to get up to the arch. Now pull into the red
marker to trigger another scene.
Now, pull out your rocket launcher and shoot down the helicopters (they
are marked on the radar by red dots and they have red arrows over them). If
you run out of rockets, you can pick up some more nearby. There is also a
health icon and a parachute in a small shack nearby. Since you have plenty of
rockets, don't hold back when shooting down the choppers! After all choppers
are destroyed, a scene will play. Now hop into whatever vehicle you chose and
head over to pick up the delivery (indicated by the green dot on the radar).
Head back down to the ghost town and go north from there to the road. Keep
heading north, then east until you finally reach the contraband. Once there,
hop out of your vehicle and walk into it to pick it up.
After the scene, head north to the water and you will find a Seasparrow.
Get in and fly it back to Las Brujas (indicated by the yellow dot on the
radar). Once there, walk into the red marker that is inside of a shack to
complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $1,000

Now head back to Toreno's ranch (indicated by the "T" icon on the radar)
and save your game, then enter the red marker nearby to begin the next
mission.
******************************************************************************
Mike Toreno Mission #4 -- Verdant Meadows
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head over to Verdant Meadows (indicated by the plane
icon on the radar). NOTE: After the scene with Mike, I received a phone call
from Jethro telling me about the race tournaments. I'm not sure if its going
to happen to everybody (or you may have gotten a phone call about it sooner),
but we'll start the race tournaments after this. Anyways, once at Verdant
Meadows, step into the spinning green icon and hit the L1 Button to purchase
the property for $80,000 (you should have more than enough money if you did
the exporting missions).
============================
Percentage Complete: 57.22%
============================
Now, the airstrip is yours. Before we start with the race tournaments,
lets complete pilot school first. So, save inside the building, then head
back out and walk around to the other side of the building. Walk up the
stairs and inside and step into the red marker to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Airstrip Mission #1 -- Learning to Fly
******************************************************************************
In order to continue with the story, you must pass all 10 tests at the
pilot school. After the scene, walk into the red marker in front of the TV
again to begin the first test.
**********************
***Test #1: Takeoff***
**********************
Vehicle Used: Rustler
Strategy: Just follow the instructions on-screen: hold down the X Button
until the back end starts to rise, then pull back on the Left
Analog to take off. Raise the landing gear (R3 Button) and
keep the plane steady as you go through the checkpoints. Also,
never let go of the X Button.
*************************
***Test #2: Land Plane***
*************************
Vehicle Used: Rustler
Strategy: This one is quite simple to get the gold (heck, I got it on my
first try and I stink at flying), just follow the instructions
again: Hit R3 to lower the landing gear and when close to the
red marker, put the plane on the ground and hold the Square
Button stop the plane in the marker.
******************************
***Test #3: Circle Airstrip***
******************************
Vehicle Used: Rustler
Strategy: This one is much tougher than the previous tests and may take
quite a few tries to get the gold. Takeoff just like how you
did in the first test, then right as you're about to get the
first checkpoint, hold down R2 (or L2 depending on which course
you chose) and hold back and to the right on the Left Analog
(or back and to the left if turning left) to make a crisp turn.
Just keep the plane steady and go through all of the
checkpoins. Finish in a minute or less to obtain the gold
medal.
***************************************
***Test #4: Circle Airstrip and Land***
***************************************
Vehicle Used: Rustler
Strategy: I hope you mastered the last test, because not only will you
have to do it again, but you have to land too. Just apply
everything you have learned so far and the gold medal will be
yours! The game is quite forgiving on the landing part and
will not deduct percenatge unless you slam the plane into the
ground. Just coast it in and remember to pull back on the
Left Analog when landing it.
*********************************
***Test #5: Helicopter Takeoff***
*********************************
Vehicle Used: Hunter
Strategy: This one s quite simple, just hold the X Button until it says
to let go, then rotate the helicopter using either the L2 or
R2 Button. Rotate it 180 degrees, then press forward on the
Left Analog to move the chopper forward. Keep going forward
and go through the checkpoint.
******************************
***Test #6: Land Helicopter***
******************************
Vehicle Used: Hunter
Strategy: Another simple one, just follow the on-screen instructions and
you should be fine. The L3 Button will auto-level the
helicopter.
**********************************
***Test #7: Destroy the Targets***
**********************************
Vehicle Used: Hunter
Strategy: This one can be very tough. At the beginning, hold up on the
left analog as well as the X button to get low to the ground.
Then, swoop down and take out the three trucks (just unload
rockets and hold the L1 Button to fire the machine gun). If
You don't take out all three on one swoop, you must retry if
you want to get the gold. Once all three trucks are destroyed,
do a quick 180 and head for the two moving cars (indiacted by
red dots on the radar). Again, stay low to the ground and
unload on them. You don't have to get them on one pass to get
the gold. If you miss, continue a little bit, then turn 180
degrees again. Then, take out whatever car is remaining and
head back to the landing strip. Be sure to land straight and
in the red marker to get the full percentage. This may take a
few tries, but it isn't really all that hard to get the gold.
****************************
***Test #8: Loop-the-Loop***
****************************
Vehicle Used: Stuntplane
Strategy: This is fairly simple, just hold X all the way until you hit
the first checkpoint. As soon as you hit the checkpoint,
pull back on the Left Analog to do a loop. Just fly into the
next checkpoint afterwards to finish this. Do it in 21 seconds
or less to get a gold.
**************************
***Test #9: Barrel Roll***
**************************
Vehicle Used: Stuntplane
Strategy: This is a little easier than the last one and similar to.
Go through the first checkpoint, then hold Left on the Left
Analog to do a barrel roll. Then, just fly through the next
checkpoint to finish. Do it in 18 seconds or less to get a
gold.
*************************************
***Test #10: Parachute onto Target***
*************************************
Vehicle Used: None, Parachute is used.
Strategy: This is fairly simple to do. Just pull the Left Analog and
hold it foward all the way until 21 seconds, then let go and
hit circle to let the parachute go. Now drift down and try to
land in the center of the bullseye to get the gold.
============================
Percentage Complete: 57.76%
============================
You will now have a pilots license and have access to all of the
airports. If you got all gold medals, your flying skill should be close to
maxed out and a Hunter will be parked near the building. Also, if you got
all silvers (or gold), a Stuntplane will be parked in a hangar and if you
got all bronze (or gold or silver), a Rustler will parked in a hangar as
well. You will also get a call from Woozie (hit L1 to answer the phone)
invited you to Las Venturas. This will "unlock" Las Venturas (meaning all
of the safehouses are now available to purchase and a new mission location
will appear). There are also some more missions to do at the airstrip as
well as the race tournaments. So, lets start with the race tournaments.
Notice that there are flag icons on the radar. These are locations where
races are available. Lets start in Los Santos. Head all the way back
(take one of your new planes if you want) to Los Santos and save your game
at your safehouse in El Corona if you want. Then, head over to Little Mexico
(indicated by the checkered flag icon on the radar) and walk into the red
marker.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Racing Mission #1 -- Los Santos Race Tournament
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: To get the rewards and the percentage complete, you must finish
first in each race (except for the ones you already did in story missions).
****************************
***Race #1: Lowrider Race***
****************************
Vehicle Used: Blade
Distance: 1.46 miles
Strategy: This was done in the Cesar mission called "High-Stakes, Low-
Rider". Here is the strategy from the mission: 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.
**************************
***Race #2: Little Loop***
**************************
Vehicle Used: NGR-500
Distance: .82 miles
Strategy: This is a short course but has a lot of hills. Be careful
going up the steep hills, make sure to tilt your weight forward
so that you don't fall off of your bike. Also, lean forward
on the straightaways to get a speed boost. Just play it safe
and wait for your opponents to make a mistake.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 58.29%
============================
********************************
***Race #3: Backroad Wanderer***
********************************
Vehicle Used: FCR-900
Distance: 2.05 miles
Strategy: This course follows the roads around Mulholland and Richman.
Just like with the last race, there are a lot of hills on this
course. If your bike skill is low, just keep on retrying and
it will increase every other race or so. The two turns near
the end are the most difficult, be sure to slow down when
approaching them (don't just slam on the brakes or you will
skid out of control, just gradually press the brake).
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 58.83%
============================
***************************
***Race #4: City Circuit***
***************************
Vehicle Used: FCR-900
Distance: 2.26 miles
Strategy: This course runs around the northeast section of Los Santos,
starting in Idlewood and going to East Beach, then to the
Mulholland Intersection before finishing where it began.
This is much easier than the last course, with plenty of
straightaways and very few turns.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 59.36%
============================
***********************
***Race #5: Vinewood***
***********************
Vehicle Used: Sunrise
Distance: 2.41 miles
Strategy: This course runs around the western half of Los Santos,
starting Downtown, running up to Mulholland and Richman,
then down to Santa Maria Beach and finally back Dowtown where
the race began. The toughest part of the course by far is
when you are in Mulholland and Richmond. There are many hills
and many tight turns. Just play it safe and be careful and
your opponents will slip up. There are a few straightaways
near the end where you can make up any lost ground. Just be
patient and first will be yours.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 59.90%
============================
**********************
***Race #6: Freeway***
**********************
Vehicle Used: Super GT
Distance: 2.62 miles
Strategy: This course starts at the Marina and runs to Jefferson, before
entering the freeway and taking it to the Mulholland
Intersection. Then it runs around Vinewood, before finishing
where it started. You will be up against other sports cars, so
this will be a fast-paced race. The course isn't too hard
though, with lots of straightaways and only a couple of tight
turns. If your driving skill is high, this shouldn't be too
difficult.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 60.43%
============================
*******************************
***Race #7: Into the Country***
*******************************
Vehicle Used: Bullet
Distance: 5.22 miles
Strategy: This course is by far the longest in this series. There is
a lot of freeway driving in this one as the course starts in
Verdant Bluffs and winds its way over to East Beach and on up
to Hankeypanky Point, then over to the Montgomery Intersection
and back all the way down to the Verdant Bluffs again. This
may be the longest, but it seems to be the easiest one as well.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 60.97%
============================
*************************
***Race #8: Badlands A***
*************************
Vehicle Used: Sabre
Distance: 2.99 miles
Strategy: This was done in the Cesar mission called "Wu Zi Mu". The
track runs from the starting point along dirt roads in Fern
Ridge, to Blueberry, through Blueberry Acres (there is a
Unique Stunt Jump to hit here) and through the Panopticon to
the finish. Try to focus more on the course than your
opponents and take each turn slowly so that you don't veer
off course. This is a fairly difficult race and may take
you a few tries, but be patient and try to learn the course
(where difficult turns are as well as straightaways). Don't
worry about the Unique Stunt Jump, it is probably best not to
get this now. If you are curious as to where it is, it is in
Blueberry Acres. Once you enter the area, stay in the middle
and you should hit a ramp straight ahead and go flying over
the barn.
*************************
***Race #9: Badlands B***
*************************
Vehicle Used: ZR-350
Distance: 2.99 miles
Strategy: This was done in the Cesar mission called "Farewell, My
Love...". The course is exactly the same as it was in
Badlands A, except now, you will be going through the course
backwards: starting from the Panopticon and finishing south of
the Montgomery Intersection. You will be using a ZR-350 for
this race. Use the same tactics that you used in the last
race and you should do just fine. Remember to take it slow on
the corners and fast on the straightaways. It helps if you
know the course, so if you are having trouble, start memorizing
the route and know when the proper times to break or speed up
are. The car you are using is very fast, so you can lose
control easily at higher speeds. Again, this may take a few
tries to complete.
That's it for the races in Los Santos, now lets move on to San Fierro.
Head over to your garage in Doherty and save you game there. Then, head over
to the Wang Cars dealership (inidicated by the checkered flag icon on the
radar) and walk into the red marker out back to begin.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Racing Mission #2 -- San Fierro Race Tournament
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*******************************
***Race #10: Dirtbike Danger***
*******************************
Vehicle Used: Sanchez
Distance: 1.99 miles
Strategy: This course runs through the countryside in the Badlands (to
the east of Angel Pine). This race is fairly difficult if
your bike skill is low. But, overall the course isn't really
that bad. Just take it slow when approaching hills and you
should be fine.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 61.50%
============================
******************************
***Race #11: Bandito County***
******************************
Vehicle Used: Bandito
Distance: 2.02 miles
Strategy: This course runs through the area just north of where the last
race was. This is a little bit tougher than the last course,
but the Bandito is a fantastic racer and shouldn't be too hard
to control. The last turn can be killer, so take it slow and
stay on the path.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 62.04%
============================
*****************************
***Race #12: Go-Go Carting***
*****************************
Vehicle Used: Kart
Distance: 1.18 miles
Strategy: This course runs around the southwest corner of San Fierro and
you (as well as your opponents) are in go-karts. These turn
extremely well, so don't overturn (just lightly press on the
joystick to get it to turn). This race is short and has a lot
of turns (and only a couple of straightaways), so be sure to
get used to the handling of it. All in all, this is a fun race
and isn't too difficult.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 62.57%
============================
***********************************
***Race #13: San Fierro Fastlane***
***********************************
Vehicle Used: Alpha
Distance: 1.64 miles
Strategy: This course runs around the northern part of San Fierro,
starting in Paradiso and running over to Esplanade, heading
Downtown, then back to Paradiso. There are a lot of hills
in this course. If you take them fast, keep your car as
straight as possible. There are couple of wicked turns as
well, especially one near the end. Just slow down and take
it easy.

Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 63.11%

********************************
***Race #14: San Fierro Hills***
********************************
Vehicle Used: Phoenix
Distance: 5.20 miles
Strategy: This course is very long and runs from Downtown to the south
end of Foster Valley over to the Avispa Country Club and winds
its way back to Downtown again. This may be long, but it is
easy to win as there are a lot of straightaways.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 63.64%
============================
*********************************
***Race #15: Country Endurance***
*********************************
Vehicle Used: Bullet
Distance: 6.68 miles
Strategy: This course is the longest road course in this series. It
starts at the entrance to the airport and runs through the
Flint Range, Back O' Beyond, the Flint Intersection before
winding its way back to the starting point. The Bullet is one
of the best cars in the game, so just take care of it and be
patient, as there is plenty of room to wait for the computer to
make a mistake.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 64.18%
============================
That's all for the races in San Fierro, we will finish the rest of the
races (in Las Venturas) a little later. Now, lets complete another side
mission, the Ammu-Nation Challenge. So, head to a safehouse near an
Ammu-Nation (I chose the safehouse in Queens and the Ammu-Nation in Ocean
Flats) and save your game. Then, head over to the Ammu-Nation and enter the
building. Walk over to the red marker by the other door and enter it to
begin the challenge.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ammu-Nation Shooting Range Challenge
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are four major levels to this challenge: Pistol, Micro-SMG,
Shotgun and AK-47. Each has three competitions that you must win in order
to complete the challenge. You must win the competition for each weapon in
order to get percentage towards 100% completion.
This competition is basically the same for each of the four weapons.
You will be up against two computer opponents and you beat them in order to
move on to the next stage.
In the first round, a target will appear in front of you and you must
destroy it by shooting at and hitting each of the red circles on the target.
After destroying the first, another will appear a little further away. Then
after that is destroyed, another will appear even further away. To win,
destroy all three targets before your opponents destroy all three of theirs.
Be patient and wait until you have your aim right on the circle before
shooting. Try not to rush too much and don't worry about your opponents
(pretend they aren't even there). The targets don't move, so just aim
carefully and you should do fine.
In the second round, you will be given a target that moves back and
forth in front of you. Just like the first round, you must destroy all three
targets before your opponents destroy all of theirs. This is a bit tougher
than the first round, but again, just aim carefully and you should win.
In the final round, there is one target for everybody and it moves
around the entire range. You recieve a point for hitting the target
successfully. You must reach 20 points before your opponents to complete
the stage.
The Shotgun stage 3 is EXTREMELY difficult. The best advice I can give
(and it isn't very good, I know) is to aim in the middle of four target
areas, this increases your chance to get a quick hit in and increase your
points. Hitman level is definitely recommended on the shotgun before heading
in here. Also (and this is sooooo stupid), you have to beat all four
challenges in a row to complete the mission. If you fail any one of them, you
will have to start again from Pistol Round 1.
============================
Reward: $10,000
Percentage Complete: 66.31%
============================
Now, lets head back to the airstrip in Verdant Meadows (indicated by the
airplane icon on the radar) and continue with some more story missions. Save
your game, then enter the red marker by the hangar to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Airstrip Mission #2 -- N.O.E.
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hop into the plane and head towards Angel Pine
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). You have to stay low to the
ground at all times (notice the Visibilty meter on the right side of the
screen). The easiest way to complete this mission is to fly north at the
beginning to the ocean, then head west along the water (that way it is
easy to stay low to the ground and you dont have to dodge any mountains or
buildings) and then south to Angel Pine, following the water the entire way.
Once you hit the beach area after rounding Mount Chiliad, hook left (north)
into Angel Pine and go through the red circle. Now, head back the way you
came (from the checkpoint, head east, then south back into the ocean).
Once you are in line with Las Payasadas (the town to the northwest of your
airstrip), head back over land and deploy the landing gear. Coast on in
and land anywhere on your airstrip (doesn't have to be in the red marker) to
complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $15,000
Percentage Complete: 66.84%
============================
Now get out of the plane and save at your safehouse nearby, then enter
the red marker at the hanger (indicated by the airplane icon on the radar) to
begin the next mission (you will also recieve a quick call from Catalina, hit
L1 to answer it).
******************************************************************************
Airstrip Mission #3 -- Stowaway
******************************************************************************
After the scene, hold down the accelerator and lean forward on the bike
(hold Up on the Left Analog). Now aim your bike just to the right of the
ramp so that you will miss the boxes that are tumbling out of the plane. Time
it right so that you hit the ramp right after a pair of boxes has come out.
Once you are on the plane, a cutscene will play. Now, put away any guns that
you have and either use your fists or a sword. Now, once a set of barrels has
rolled past, quickly run down the hall and duck into an alcove on the right
side of the hallway. There will be a guard here, so beat him up. Now, wait
for more barrels to pass and then run down the hallway and duck into another
alcove on the right side of the hallway. Beat up the guard that is here as
well. Now, run to the end of the hallway and beat up the three guards here.
One of them has a parachute, so beat him up and take the parachute. Now,
switch to the satchel charge (use the R2 and L2 Buttons to switch weapons)
and throw it anywhere on the plane. Now run to the very edge of the ramp and
detonate the charge. Now quickly jump off the edge of the ramp to complete
the mission. NOTE: If you stay in the plane only seconds after detonating
the charge, you will die and the mission will be a failure.
============================
Reward: $20,000
Percentage Complete: 67.38%
============================
After the mission, use your parachute to glide safely to the ground,
then head back to your airstrip and save at your safehouse then enter the red
marker at the nearby hangar (indicated by the airplane icon on the radar) to
begin the next mission. !!!NOTE!!! This is a night mission and can only be
accessed between the hours of 8 pm and 6 am (20:00 and 06:00).
******************************************************************************
Airstrip Mission #4 -- Black Project
******************************************************************************
After the scene, head through the gate and the northwest edge of the
complex and take out the guard patrolling here. As always, be very cautious
of the spotlights and get to know their pattern so that you can always avoid
them. Now, make your way south, killing any guards along the way. Also,
watch out for the spotlight near one of the bunkers. Make your way to the
southwest corner of the complex, then head east towards the control tower
(indicated by the yellow dot on the radar). Once there, walk into the red
marker to open the blast doors. Now, run to the blast doors (try not to get
spotted) and enter them (they are indicated by the yellow dot on the radar).
Once inside, the alarm will be set off. Note that enemies will appear
as red dots on the radar, this is very helpful when determining if and where
the guards are in each room. Now head into the first room and grab the Body
Armor from the platform to the right of the entrance. Now wait here for the
guards to come running up the steps and shoot them from the entrance to the
Body Armor area. Once all guards are dead, run down the steps and into the
next room. Kill the guards at the entrance (there are a couple of them just
to the right of the entrance), then run forward and kill anybody else in the
room. Keep going to the end of the platform and into another small room, then
turn right (west) and follow the corridor north. Now, go left into another
room with a red marker in it (even though it is not marked on the radar) and
walk into it to disable the Surface Air Missile (SAM) which will greatly help
in your escape.
You can also find more Body Armor in the previous room as you head back
towards the area you were just in. Now head back to the previous room and go
down the stairs heading east (you can also drop down below the grating and
pick up a Health Icon and more Body Armor). Keep going and you will reach
some labs. There are some more guards here, so take them out and keep moving.
You will eventually reach a room where a message pops up on screen telling you
to look for a keycard. Well, head into the next room and a scientist will
offer you his keycard. So, take it, then walk into the red marker nearby to
open the door. Now kill the two guards on the top level here, then manually
aim down and take out any guards that you can see below. Keep making your way
down the stairs and killing guards until you finally reach the bottom. Now,
walk into the jetpack and a short cutscene will play.
Now, hold X to increase the thrust of the jetpack and fly up through the
doors directly overhead. To strafe, use the L2 and R2 Buttons. This is where
disabling the SAM comes into play, because if you didn't, you would have
missiles being fired at you. Now, head over to Arco Del Oeste (indicated by
the yellow dot on the radar) and land in the red marker to complete the
mission.
============================
Percentage Complete: 67.91%
============================
Walk around until you recieve a phone call from The Truth (hit L1 to
answer). Now, hop on the nearby Sanchez and ride all the way back to your
airstrip in Verdant Meadows. Save at your safehouse if you want, then enter
the red marker by the hangar (indicated by the airplane icon on the radar)
to begin the next mission.
******************************************************************************
Airstrip Mission #5 -- Green Goo
******************************************************************************
After the scene, fly over to the train which is around the northern
edge of Las Venturas (indicated by the green dots on the radar). Once you
reach the train, just open fire on anyone and everyone. Once all of the
guards are dead, shoot open the crates (just target them and shoot). The
first two have nothing in them, but the third one has what you need. Note
that you will have plenty of time to do this as the train will keep heading
west, then south around Las Venturas. Once you find the correct crate, pick
up the goo and head back to your airstrip in Verdant Meadows (indicated by the
yellow dot on the radar) and land in the red marker to complete the mission.
============================
Reward: $20,000
Percentage Complete: 68.45%
============================
Now the airstrip will become an asset and generate up to $10,000 per
day. The jetpack will also spawn outside the entrance to the save disk.
Also, a large hangar just to the south of the save disk will open up and allow
for you to store any airplane in it. Now, lets finish off the last of the
vehicle missions and complete the Vigilante Mission.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vehicle Mission #7 -- Vigilante
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This works exactly the same as the Vigilante Missions in Vice City.
Just enter any law enforcement vehicle and hit the R3 Button to begin the
mission. My recommendation would be to get all the gold medals in the pilot
school so that you can use the Hunter, which will be found at your airstrip
afterwards. Using the Hunter is the easiest way to complete the Vigilante
mission. This is just a search and destroy mission. Take out all of the red
dots on the radar and you will move up a level. The higher the mission, the
more targets you will have. But, it is quite simple in the Hunter. Just
complete Level 12 to complete this mission.
============================================
Reward: Maximum Body Armor Increased to 150
Percentage Complete: 68.98%
============================================
You can continue up to higher levels, but that isn't necessary for 100%
completion of the game, only Level 12 is. When you are ready, lets finish
purchasing the safehouses in the Desert before continuing into Las Venturas.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse Purchasing (18-20)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Safehouse #18: This one is located in El Quebrados, which is the town
just to the east from the Boat School. There is an Ammu-Nation nearby as
well as a pay-n-spray. It is a small house, costs $20,000 and has no garage.
============================
Percentage Complete: 69.52%
============================
Safehouse #19: This one is located along the highway in Tierra Robada,
just west of Las Barrancas and just north of the Garver Bridge. It is another
small house (looks exactly like the last one that you bought), costs $20,000
and also has no garage. It does have a very lovely view of San Fierro though.
============================
Percentage Complete: 70.05%
============================
Safehouse #20: This one is located in the town of Fort Carson, which is
east of Mike Toreno's ranch. There is a pay-n-spray in the town and an
Ammu-Nation to the south. This is a medium sized house, costs $30,000 and
does have a garage.
