Chapter Two

You now have a new safehouse in Bohan, after the last one was burned down by the Russians. Roman says it’s time to “start over again.” In this chapter, Mallorie introduces you to two of her friends – Manny Escuela and Elizabeta Torres – both of whom provide work for Niko. Algonquin is unlocked after the mission “Blow Your Cover,” and Alderney becomes unlocked at the end of the chapter.

Mallorie introduces Niko to Manny Escuela, a guy she grew up with. Manny is trying to “clean up the streets,” and he’s making a video to record his struggle. He wants Niko to help him take out some of the dealers in Bohan. After the cutscene, get in a vehicle with Manny and go to the dealer’s place on Grand Boulevard. A cutscene shows the dealer leaving his apartment. Follow him, but don’t get too close to him or you will spook him. Stay at least two car lengths behind him until he reaches the destination in South Bohan.

 

 

Park behind the dealer when he reaches the destination, and follow him over to the warehouse. Manny goes back to pick up Jay (the camera guy) while you’re taking care of business. Shoot the lock on the door, and then take cover behind the wall. Take out as many dealers as you can from outside the warehouse before moving inside. There is no time limit here, so you can take as long as you like.

 

 

There is one dealer immediately to your right inside the warehouse, and several straight ahead. Once you’ve taken out as many as you can from outside the warehouse, move inside and immediately take cover behind the one of “Redwood” boxes. Take out the remaining dealers inside the warehouse, paying close attention to where they are situated on the radar. Use cover at all times, and watch out for the last dealer behind the pillar in the centre of the warehouse. Leave the warehouse once all the dealers have been eliminated, and watch the cutscene as Manny [quite happily] takes all the credit for your work!

 

 

Dimitri calls and threatens to hunt Niko down and kill him, because he never paid Bulgarin the money he owed him.

Manny introduces Niko to Officer McReary, before providing the details of the next mission. The mission is very similar to the previous mission in terms of the main objective (take out some gang dealers) except this time it’s a little easier.

 

 

Go to Windmill Street where the gang members are situated, and run over the two gang members that are standing by the garage. Once you have been spotted, two of the gang members will attempt to escape in a car, so give chase and spray their vehicle with bullets.

 

 

Aim for the wheels initially, and then finish them off before going back to kill the last remaining gangster at the garage. You can kill him however you like, though running him over is without a doubt the simplest option.

 

 

Mallorie has some more work for you, this time from a character called Elizabeta Torres. Follow the ‘E’ on the radar to take missions from her.

Brucie wants Niko to whack some people for him. After the cutscene, call 911 and press ‘1’ to summon a police car. When the cops arrive, steal their car and lose your wanted level. When you lose the wanted level, Niko will automatically call Brucie for further instructions. Brucie wants you to kill somebody called Lyle Rivas.

 

 

Stop the police car and access the police computer. Select ‘Search Police Records’ followed by ‘Search By Name’ and then use the keyboard to type in ‘LYLE RIVAS’. Add his location to the radar, and then exit the police computer.

 

 

Go to Rivas’s house and walk into the yellow marker. During the cutscene, Rivas makes an escape through the bathroom window. Exit the building through the door you came in, and begin chasing Rivas. Shoot his car until it blows up, and then run him over when he attempts to escape on foot. Niko calls Brucie to confirm that Rivas has been eliminated.

 

 

Brucie invites you to meet him for more work.

According to Brucie, the guy you just killed (Lyle Rivas) had a car “worth stealing,” which he left in an alleyway off of Yorktown Avenue in Steinway. Brucie wants you to get it and bring it back to his garage. When you get inside the vehicle, a cutscene begins, and a car containing two of Lyle’s associates arrives at the scene.

 

 

Get the car back to Brucie’s garage. The two thugs will chase and shoot you the whole way back. Be careful when turning corners, because the car will get damaged very quickly if they manage to block you. Get the car back to Brucie’s garage in one piece to complete the mission.

 

 

The main objective of the mission is quite simple; the only thing you need to be careful with is your handling of the car. Be patient and slow down when turning corners and you should be fine. The car will [probably] be heavily damaged by the time you get it back to the garage, but that doesn’t matter.

 

 

Brucie wants to talk to Niko about Roman, because he’s been “gambling like an animal” and he’s out of control.

Rivas’s cousin owes Brucie a lot of money, so he wants Niko to go and take care of him. During the cutscene, Roman creates a profile for Niko on Love Meet, which he’s going to use to try and arrange a date with Rivas’s cousin. Go to the TW@ internet cafe, and Niko will automatically call Brucie once he arrives there. Brucie tells you to log on and access love-meet.net, and then search for a guy calledFrench Tom.

 

 

Go to one of the computer terminals and access the web. Go to love-meet.net and click on the ‘males’icon, and then locate French Tom. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the button to arrange a date. You are now free to conduct other business while you wait for French Tom to reply. Once he does reply, Roman will send a text message telling you to check your emails.

 

 

In the response, French Tom tells you to meet him at the 69th Street Diner on Hove Beach at 18:00, so go there and wait for him. Approach French Tom inside the diner, and Niko will begin talking to him. When you are ready, stand up and eliminate French Tom to complete the mission.

 

 

Mallorie introduces Niko to Elizabeta, who then introduces Niko to Patrick McReary, a guy she’s setting up a deal for. Elizabeta doesn’t trust the guys that Patrick will be dealing with, so she wants Niko to act as his “guardian angel” and make sure that nothing goes wrong. The deal is taking place at Joliet Street, and Patrick has left a rifle on the roof of the place next door.

 

 

Go to the building in South Bohan, and then go up to the roof and collect the sniper rifle that Patrick has left for you. Stay crouched and watch over the deal using the sniper rifle. About 25 seconds after the cutscene, the dealers begin to shoot at Patrick and his associate. Zoom in with the sniper rifle and take out all of the attackers. Take your time with each shot and deal with one person at a time.

 

 

One of the attackers gets in a tussle with Patrick, so snipe him, and then three more attackers will arrive. Once you have taken out the three attackers, the last attacker will attempt to escape in the van. Snipe him through the windshield to complete the mission. Afterwards, Niko calls Elizabeta to let her know that Patrick is safe. She invites you back to her apartment for more work.

 

 

Elizabeta introduces Niko to Johnny, who is currently sitting on a big pile of heroin. Elizabeta has found a buyer for him, and she wants Niko to oversee the deal and ensure that everything goes okay, so the objective is similar to the previous mission. She also introduces Niko to Playboy X, who’s going to be assisting you at the deal. Take Playboy to the contact’s apartment, and follow him up to the third floor to meet Johnny.

 

 

During the cutscene, it becomes apparent that the dealers are infact undercover LCPD officers. Find cover, and take out all of the attackers. Take your time and pick them off one at a time, and then make your way up to the next floor. As you leave the room, there are two officers immediately to your right. Take them out, and then follow Playboy up to the next floor, where more officers are waiting to attack. There is a first aid kit situated on the roof, so collect it if you need it and then use the wall as cover. Take out the two remaining officers, and more will begin to make their way onto the roof.

 

 

Follow Playboy down the stairs, where another officer is waiting to attack you. Once he is dead, a two-star wanted level appears. Make your way down to the ground floor, but watch out as there are two more officers waiting for you on the stairs. Once you escape from the building, get in the car across the road and lose your wanted level with Playboy. Finally, take Playboy X back to his apartment in Algonquin to complete the mission.

 

 

Roman calls to announce that he has collected insurance money from the old cab depot, and has invested the money in a brand new one. The business is up and running.

Playboy X has some work for Niko. Follow the ‘X’ icon on the radar to go and see him.

In this mission, Manny wants Niko to eliminate some people he used to roll with, who have been “bad-mouthing him” after watching his new film. It seems they weren’t impressed. Go to the Algonquin Bridge and stop in the yellow marker facing south.

 

 

The target you are looking for is on the train, so you need to follow it and eliminate him when he gets off. The chase will lead to Cayuga Avenue in Schottler.

 

 

Make your way up to the platform and eliminate the three targets. It might be useful to take cover before launching your attack, but if you start with full health and a decent (quick) weapon such as the Micro-SMG then it shouldn’t be necessary.

 

 

A text message arrives from an anonymous user, instructing you to meet him at the end of the pier at Castle Gardens.

Elizabeta wants Niko to go and see her.

 

During the cutscene, Elizabeta argues with Little Jacob. She says some people he introduced to her have “ripped her off big time,” and she needs Niko to go to the old hospital on Colony Island and get her coke back. The old hospital is heavily guarded by dealers, and you will need to eliminate all of them in order to get to Elizabeta’s coke. Once you have the coke, you’ll need to escape from the hospital, so it may be a good idea to go to the old hospital before starting the mission to scope it out first.

 

 

There are multiple approaches to this mission. A good way to start would be to stand well away from the compound, and snipe as many of the dealers as possible before going in. The old hospital is surrounded by metal fencing, and there are two areas of broken fence which you can use to enter the complex – one on the north side and one on the east. You should enter via the north gap and escape using the eastgap. Enter the building itself via the doorway on the east side of the building. Take cover at all times and eliminate anyone who attacks you.

 

 

An SMG in addition to a heavy piece such as the assault rifle is recommended. You’ll need plenty of ammo, full health and armour before starting the mission. Take your time, take cover at all times, and eliminate anyone in your path. Be careful when you are going through the main corridor section of the building, as there are attackers on the upper level of the complex as well as on the ground – refer to the radar to see which ones are above you. There are first aid kits located throughout the complex, so keep an eye out for them. The coke is being guarded in a room by two dealers. Waste them, and then pick up the bag of coke.

 

 

Once you have the coke, N.O.O.S.E will begin to raid the old hospital, and a chopper arrives. Make your way back to the corridor, and go back out exactly the same way you came in. There are two officers waiting to shoot you near the entrance of the building. There is also a further officer waiting outside, who is taking cover behind a burned out vehicle. As mentioned earlier, exit the complex using the gap in the fence on the east side of the building, and then quickly jump into the Humboldt river and use the Jetmax to escape.

 

 

Once you have shaken the cops off, go back and meet Little Jacob on Spin Street. During the cutscene, Michelle arrives and reveals that she has been working with the government, and that it’s “her job” to keep an eye on Niko! She says the cops are ready to take down Elizabeta, and demands that Niko hands over the coke. Ouch.

 

 

Elizabeta is becoming paranoid because she knows the police are finally onto her.

 

 

Manny and Jay soon arrive at the apartment and begin recording a new piece for their film, where they accuse Elizabeta of messing up the streets However, Elizabeta is having none of it, and she shoots both Manny and Jay through the head! She then tells Niko to put the bodies in her car and get rid of them. Elizabeta knows a doctor that will deal with them.

 

 

Take the bodies of Manny and Jay to the doctor at Dukes Boulevard. ‘Natural causes’ is his verdict. He says he’ll have the organs “out on the streets in no time.” Splendid!

 

 

Brucie wants to show off his new car by taking part in a street race, but Lenny (the mechanic) screwed something up, and he now has nothing to race with. Brucie wants Niko to take him to Freetown Avenue in Willis so that you can take Steve’s car to the race instead. It’s a yellow Comet.

 

 

Once you have the car, go to the starting point and prepare to race. As long as you don’t crash, you should be able to finish first with fairly relative ease. Take it easy at corners, slow down and brake properly otherwise it could cost you the race. The other five drivers aren’t exactly great – they tend to crash a lot, so all you need to do (basically) is not crash!

 

 

Take Brucie home once the race is finished, to complete the mission.

 

 

Playboy’s old friend, Dwayne Forge, just got released from prison, and he is disgruntled that Playboy has moved on and left him behind. Playboy has left some weapons for you in an alleyway at Castle Gardens for the next mission, and he explains the details of the task on the way there. Apparently, the mafia have taken over a construction site belonging to Yusuf Amir, a big real estate developer who Playboy is aiming to impress. Playboy wants you to take out the mobsters guarding the site, and regain control of it for Yusuf.

 

 

Get in the car in the alleyway to retrieve the weapons (a sniper rifle and grenades) and then walk into the window cleaning platform. Make your way to the top of the building, in order to give you a clear view of the enemy lookouts. Take out the three lookouts (1-3 on diagram) using the sniper rifle, and then take out some of the guards on the ground to make life a little easier when you enter the construction site later. Once you’ve taken out as many guards as possible, go back to the platform and head into the construction site. You can take the car in and then use it as cover.

 

 

Take out anybody in your way, and then head towards the first union leader, who is represented by a red blip on the radar. Take cover at all times, and use the grenades to take out multiple enemies at once. There is a first aid kit on the upper level of the construction site, situated at the top of the ramp. Don’t move out of cover until you are sure there are no more attackers. Soon, a helicopter arrives with backup for the last remaining union leader. Once again, take cover and eliminate anyone in your way. Kill the last union leader to complete the mission.

 

 

Playboy wants Niko to do some work for Dwayne. Playboy will cover any costs, since he owes Dwayne.

During the cutscene, Dwayne explains that he’s pissed off at two things. Firstly, he’s annoyed that Playboy doesn’t want to roll with him anymore (instead he sends Niko) and secondly he’s pissed that his girlfriend is ignoring him. His girlfriend has been hanging out with someone called Jayvon, who apparently was responsible for Dwayne going to prison. Niko sympathises with Dwayne because he sees a lot of himself in him. He then offers to take care of Jayvon.

 

 

Go to the arcade in Chinatown, where Dwayne’s girlfriend (Cherise) and Jayvon are hanging out. Jayvon attempts to escape, and you now have the option of executing Cherise or letting her live. If you let her live, you’ll meet her again later on in the story, but it’s entirely your choice and it doesn’t affect your overall game progress.

 

 

Get on the bike parked at the arcade and begin chasing Jayvon. Shoot him off the bike and make sure he’s dead, then pickup the money that he owes to Dwayne. Niko calls Dwayne to arrange a meeting at the Cluckin’ Bell in Algonquin, so he can hand over the money.

 

 

 

Dwayne seems fairly depressed with how things have been going since he got out of prison. He says one of the things he lost was a strip club in Bohan called “The Triangle Club”, which was taken over by gangsters after he got sent to jail. Niko promises to take it back for him.

 

 

Enter the strip club in Bohan, but don’t enter with a weapon drawn or security will attack you. There are three managers inside the club, and the first thing you’ll need to do is work out who they are. Approach the first two men you see when you enter the strip club, and listen in on their conversation. They will reveal the location of the first manager, Jose, who is in the staff room counting money. Leave Jose for now, and approach the stripper and the man standing beside the stage. The conversation will reveal that the man (Javier) standing next to the stripper is the second manager of the club. Don’t kill him yet, instead go to the back room where the third manager is located, so that you now have the locations of all three managers.

 

 

The locations of the managers should now be highlighted on the radar. Go back to the first manager (Jose) and kill him silently using fists, a baseball bat or a knife, so that you don’t attract attention from the security. Jose has a gun, so kill him before he manages to fire a shot in, otherwise security will be alerted. Now approach the second manager who is standing by the stage, and take cover behind one of the tables in the club. Kill him, and then take out the security men who attack you afterwards. Once most of the security people are gone, exit the club and follow the third manager, who attempts to escape in a car. Perform a drive-by shooting and finish him off to complete the mission.

 

 

There is a growing tension between Playboy X and Dwayne. Playboy now says that Dwayne is beginning to “get on his nerves.” Playboy wants you to eliminate someone who has apparently been bad-mouthing him. He hangs out with his team at the basketball courts on Exeter Avenue. You need to take a photo of the team with your new cellphone (given to you by Playboy X) and then send him the photo so that he can tell you which one to kill.

 

 

There are five people in the basketball court. Get a photo of them and send it back to Playboy, but don’t get too close to them or they will spot you. Playboy will call you a few seconds later and tell you which one to kill – each time you do the mission it’s a different person, so you can’t kill the same person every time! If you kill one of the targets before Playboy gets back to you, the crew will split up and you’ll have to kill all of them, but if you follow the instructions this shouldn’t be the case.

 

 

You can kill Marlon and the other gang members by shooting through the fence, you don’t need to go into the basketball court. Once he is dead, the mission is over.

 

 

Playboy calls to express his displeasure at your handling of the strip club situation. He doesn’t want you helping Dwayne if it’s going to “mess up his business interests.”

Michelle calls and says it’s important that you meet her at the United Liberty Paper building in Algonquin.

Mallorie is concerned that something has happened to Roman, because he didn’t come home last night.

 

Michelle reveals that her real name is Karen, and takes Niko to meet a friend in office 396. The man (who refuses to reveal his name) wants Niko to find out about a person called Oleg Minkov, who lives in Iroquois back in Hove Beach. Go to Oleg’s apartment and find out anything you can about him.

 

 

When Niko arrives the apartment is empty, so he kicks the door down and calls the friend from U.L. Paper. He tells you to check Oleg’s emails, and call back with any information that would indicate his current whereabouts. Access Oleg’s emails and click on the latest email from “Vasily”. It talks about a meeting at a jewellery shop on Tulsa Street. Niko calls back and the man tells him to kill Oleg at the jewellery store.

 

 

Get a car and stop in the yellow marker at the destination. Oleg attempts to escape, so chase him down and kill him. When you reach Little Italy in Algonquin, Oleg will take a route which becomes blocked by construction material, so quickly reverse out of there and find a different route. Eliminate Oleg to complete the mission.

 

 

Playboy X wants you to go and see him. He has an important matter to discuss.

Dwayne has irritated Playboy X to such an extent that he now wants him dead. Playboy wants Niko to carry out the hit for him, but Niko says he’ll have to take time to consider it. Playboy will be in touch shortly.

Dwayne calls shortly after the cutscene and reveals that he wants Niko to kill Playboy X! You now have a decision to make.

Playboy X calls to ask Niko if he has reached a decision yet. Niko says he knows what he’s going to do, and you now have the choice of killing either Playboy X or Dwayne.

Who you decide to kill is entirely your choice. Each option has its own benefits, though killing X appears to be the favoured option amongst the majority of GTA IV fans. Killing Playboy X will earn you his loft (which will act as a new safehouse) in addition to a new outfit, and it also means that Dwayne Forge becomes a friend, which itself provides new benefits. Killing Dwayne will earn you $25,000 but Playboy refuses to speak to you afterwards, so there are no other benefits apart from that.

 

 

If you decide to kill Playboy X, head over to his apartment in North Algonquin. He has four or five people protecting him in his apartment, so be prepared with plenty of ammo and armour. Take cover behind the door at the elevator, and eliminate each of the guards in the apartment. Throwing a grenade into the apartment should take care of most of them.

 

 

Approach X, and he will jump across the roof to the opposite building, and attempt to make a run for it. Make your way to the ground floor and follow him. More of Playboy’s guards arrive in a desperate bid to protect him, so target them and shoot them, but don’t worry about X getting away because he will reach a dead end. Use the pistol to execute Playboy X for a cinematic execution.

 

 

Killing Dwayne is considerably easier if you wish to choose that option instead. Go to his apartment, walk into the yellow marker and watch the cutscene which follows. Kill Dwayne’s crazy bat-wielding friend, and then use the pistol to execute Dwayne.

 

 

Mallorie believes that Roman has been kidnapped by some Russians that he owes money to. This phone call is the start of the mission “Hostile Negotiation.”

 

In this mission you need to rescue Roman, who is being held hostage by Dimitri’s men at a warehouse off Lompoc in Bohan Industrial. Ensure you have full health, armour and plenty of ammo before starting the mission. There aren’t any particularly difficult aspects of the mission, but you’ll need to take out a lot of attackers which requires a bit of time and patience.

Dimitri sends a text message containing a photo of Roman with a gun against his head.

 

 

Walk into the yellow marker at the warehouse when you are ready to begin. Roman is being held on the top floor of the warehouse. When you take control of Niko, he will automatically take cover behind the wall. Take out each attacker one at a time, and don’t move out of cover until you are sure there are no more gunmen. Blind fire if necessary. There is a first aid kit straight ahead if you need any health. Try to kill as many attackers on the first floor from the ground floor before going up there – this will make your task a lot easier when you eventually do reach the first floor.

 

 

Once you’ve taken out as many people as possible, move up to the first floor and immediately look for cover. Take out any remaining attackers, and then move towards the second floor. If you need any health, the first aid kit on the ground floor should have respawned by now, so go back down and collect it.

 

 

Turn left as soon as you reach the second floor, and again find cover. There’s a first aid kit on the wall up ahead should you require it. Take out anyone in your way, and then proceed to the top floor where Roman is being held by his kidnapper.

 

 

You’ll know when you have reached the top floor because the arrow on the green radar blip will disappear. When you enter the room where Roman is being held, Roman and his kidnapper emerge from behind a desk. You need to use free-aim to kill the kidnapper and free Roman. Shooting him once in the arm should be enough, but be careful not to fire at Roman. Once you have successfully freed Roman, follow him out of the warehouse and take him back to the safehouse in Bohan. The mission ends with a lecture from Niko about Roman’s gambling addiction.

Roman calls to say he has purchased a safehouse in Algonquin. You can now save your game there.

 

U.L.P.C. want Niko to find someone, and he’ll need access to a police computer in order to do so. Niko is informed that in return for doing these jobs, U.L.P.C. “may or may not” help Niko look for the person that betrayed him many years ago.

Your contact sends you a text message containing a photo of the target. You’ll need to upload this photo to the police computer in order to obtain the location of the target.

 

 

Find a police car and access the on-board computer. The easiest way to get a police car is to dial 911 on the cellphone, and then steal the car once the cops arrive. Lose your wanted level once you have the car, and then stop and access the computer. Select ‘Search Police Records’ followed by ‘Search by Photo’, and then upload the photograph of the target sent to you by the contact. His name is Adam Dimayev, and he’s wanted for financing terrorist activity. Mark Dimayev’s hangout on the radar, and then go after him.

 

 

The hangout is occupied by around ten people, and your contact states that you must eliminate all of them. Start on the upper level of the hangout (Yorktown Avenue) before dealing with the guards on the lower level (Valley Forge Avenue). There is no time limit, so you can take as long as you like to eliminate all of them. You can take them out systematically one-by-one (using cover behind the various objects in the environment) or you can just launch grenades and take them out several at a time. If you need health at any time, go to Yorktown Avenue where there are no attackers present and dial 911 for paramedics. The paramedics will then arrive and give you health, but only at a cost.

 

 

The contact congratulates you on a job well done, and says you are one step closer to finding the man you are after.

 

Some guy is moving a lot of money for terrorists, and U.L.P.C. need him “neutralized.” Grab a vehicle and go to the Civilization Plaza. A helicopter is seen leaving from the helipad, and as per the instructions, you must follow it to its destination before attempting to steal it. The chase ends at Kunzite Street, Westminster. Let the helicopter land, and then move in and take it.

 

 

When you drive in towards the helicopter, there are 3 guards up ahead, so drive at full speed and take out as many as you can by simply running them over. Then get out of the vehicle, take cover and eliminate any remaining guards.

 

 

Get in the chopper and fly to the dropoff point on the south side of the airport. Land at the location indicated by the yellow blip on the radar, and then a cutscene will show two FIB agents taking control of the chopper. Mission complete. Niko calls the contact after the mission, who says that his men “have the chopper” and “will get it back to you” soon. Apparently you’re going to use the chopper later to eliminate the guy they are after.

 

 

Officer McReary is the mystery man. You met him briefly during the mission “Street Sweeper.” McReary states that he “knows all about” Niko’s activities, and threatens to expose him unless Niko does some work for him. Some guy is blackmailing McReary, but he doesn’t know who it is. He has arranged to do an exchange with McReary by the Humboldt River off Silicon Street, and he told McReary to call him there from the viewpoint.

 

 

When you arrive at the viewpoint, Francis will send a text message containing the phone number of the blackmailer, and you must call this number and look out for a person answering their phone, so that you know which person to kill. Keep talking to the blackmailer until you identify him.

 

 

Kill the blackmailer once you have identified him, collect the storage device for Francis, and then lose your two-star wanted level. Once that is done, take the photographs on the storage device back to Francis to finish the mission.

 

 

U.L.P.C. call to say that “the chopper is ready” and that you must use it with Little Jacob to take out the target.

Meet Little Jacob at the salvage yard off Grummer Road and get into the chopper. The target is in another chopper, flying around Liberty City, and you’ll need to follow him and wait for an opportunity to take it down. U.L.P.C. don’t want any civilian casualties, so you’ll have to wait until the target is flying over the water before firing a shot at it.

 

 

Once you reach the water beyond the Broker Bridge, get close to the chopper and stay level with it on the right hand side so that Little Jacob can get a good shot in with the RPG.

 

 

Once the chopper is down, take Jacob back to the helipad at Union Drive East to complete the mission. Niko calls U.L.P.C. afterwards to confirm that the hit was carried out successful. The contact acknowledges your work, and agrees to call you when/if he finds any information on the person you are looking for.

 

 

Packie McReary calls to offer you some work. You can take missions from Packie by following the “P^M” icon on the radar.

 

A lawyer called Tom Goldberg (of Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster) has some dirt on McReary, and McReary wants him dead. Goldberg has bodyguards, so McReary wants you to get one-on-one with him by arranging a job interview. You’ll need to look nice for the interview. McReary will email you more details soon, so head over to an internet cafe after the cutscene.

 

 

Access one of the computer terminals at the internet cafe, and click on the “Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster”advertisement to access their website. Then go to the “Careers” page and submit your resume. Niko calls Francis after you leave the cafe to confirm that the application has been sent. You now need to wait on a phone call from GLS. You can kill time by doing other missions and activities, or you can advance time by six hours by saving your game at the safehouse.

 

 

Eventually, Karen from GLS will call to arrange an interview with Mr. Goldberg. The time of the interview will be added to your organizer automatically – you need to be at the lawyers’ office by 12:00 the following day. Now head over to Perseus and buy yourself some new clothes. You’ll need a suit, a tie and some nice shoes for the interview.

 

 

Once you have everything you need, head over to the lawyers’ office (indicated by the tie icon on the radar) and walk into the yellow marker to begin. Go and talk to the receptionist, and then follow her to Mr. Goldberg’s office. The interview will begin, and a few seconds later you will have control over Niko. Stand up when you are ready to kill Goldberg, kill him and then retrieve the files from his desk. The receptionist triggers the alarm, and you now have a two-star wanted level. Smash one of the windows in the office, jump outside and get rid of the cops. Take the files back to McReary once you’re done.

McReary wants Niko to take down a drug dealer (called Clarence) in East Holland for $2000, but Niko demands $5000 instead. McReary says it would take too long for him to collect all the evidence against Clarence, so he wants to save himself some work by getting Niko to perform a hit.

 

 

Head over to the projects in East Holland, and ensure that you have plenty of health and ammo before beginning. McReary recommends getting to the second floor before you begin shooting anyone, but you can do it in any way you like. Once you reach the third floor, there are gunmen taking cover up ahead, and a first aid kit on the wall to your right. Take them out, and a third gunman will come down the stairs behind you, so watch out. Remain cautious as you approach the roof – there are several more gunmen waiting there. Once everyone has been eliminated, approach Clarence and you will have a choice to make – you can either execute him or decide to let him live. Walk away if you wish to spare his life, you’ll meet him later on if this is your choice.

 

 

If you want to kill Clarence and you wish to avoid any unecessary shootouts, go back onto the road before entering the projects at the start of the mission, and use your sniper rifle to zoom in on Clarence on the second floor. Kill Clarence, and evade the two-star wanted level to complete the mission. If you don’t get the shot right the first time, Clarence will flee and you will have to enter the projects and do things the hard way.

 

 

If you spared Clarence’s life, or if you decided to kill him the hard way, a two-star wanted level is gained and police surround the projects. Most of them will occupy the west half of the complex (which is the bit you are currently at) so head over to the east section and go down the stairs that way. Turn left when you reach the bottom, and then left again. Use the gate to get out, then find a vehicle and evade the cops. If you’re lucky, you should be able to escape from the projects without having to face any cops at all.

 

 

 

It becomes apparent that Clarence was only the boss of the organization, and now his chief lieutenant has taken over. McReary needs you to take him out. He has left a sniper rifle for you in a car across town.

 

 

Get in the car and then head to the dealer’s apartment off Denver Avenue. Go to the rooftop of the building opposite the dealer’s apartment, and dial his phone number (545-555-0122) to lure him to the window.

Alternative ways to lure the dealer to the window are:

1. Shoot the satellite dish outside the dealer’s window (he’ll get up to find out why his TV stopped working).
2. Shoot the television screen inside the dealer’s house (you won’t have much time to shoot him if you choose this method).

 

 

Assassinate the dealer when he goes to the window, and then leave the building to complete the mission.

 

 

 

Packie introduces you to his mother and his sister, Kate. Kate seems interested in Niko, but Packie warns him to stay away from her. After the cutscene, get in a car with Packie and go to the harbor warehouse on Emerald Street. Packie wants to get up on the roof of the warehouse so you can get a clear view of the deal that’s going down with the triads. Climb onto the objects, jump onto the ledge, shimmy across, and then climb onto the roof. A short cutscene will show a boat arriving with some boxes which Patrick wants to steal. His plan is to wait until the dealers have loaded the boxes into the truck, and then steal the truck and return it to a garage.

 

 

Climb down the mini cabin, find cover, and begin taking the dealers out. Molotovs or grenades would be useful at this point, as there are a lot of attackers. Packie will assist you (from the roof) and detract some of the attention. There are several dealers inside the warehouse, so be cautious when you approach it.

 

 

Steal the truck and wait for Packie to get in, then take the truck to Ray Boccino’s lockup in Westminster. Some more dealers will begin chasing and shooting at the truck once you leave the warehouse, so drop a few grenades to get rid of them. Packie introduces you to Ray at the end of the mission, and Ray agrees to call you some time with some work.

 

 

Packie and his friends want to rob the mafia after Ray tipped them off about a big payment they received. Find a four-door car and drive to the waste management plant under the Algonquin Bridge, where the mafia are currently situated. Climb over two fences to get into the depot, and waste any guards outside. Grenades may be useful here, but be sure to take cover at all times. Packie and the guys should be able to handle a few of the guards, but you’ll need to deal with most of them. Follow the guys inside once the guards have been taken out. There’s a first aid kit at the door should you need any health.

 

 

Find cover as soon as you enter the building, and once again pick off each of the guards one at a time. Go for the guard whose up in the office before going for the others. When you are ready, proceed towards the office at the top of the stairs where the cash is stored. Watch out for more guards.

 

 

Once you have collected the cash, more guards will enter the building and begin firing. Clear the ones nearest the exit and then make an escape – leave Packie’s friends to deal with the rest. Meet Packie outside and then swim towards the boat. Wait for Packie to get on, and take him to the pier beyond the East Borough Bridge to complete the mission.

 

 

Packie asks if you can do him a favour by taking his sister Kate on a date. The McReary brothers are concerned about her because she hasn’t been out in a long time. Give her a call.

Ray Boccino calls and invites you to meet him at Drusilla’s in Little Italy (Algonquin) for some work.

Packie and his brothers have a big job planned, but you’ll need a suit and tie first from Perseus in Algonquin first. You need this in order to start the mission “Three Leaf Clover”.

Packie introduces you to his brothers, Gerry and Derrick. Gerry isn’t happy that Niko is being involved in family business. After the cutscene, find a four-door car and take your partners to the bank in Algonquin. Packie explains the plan on the way there – each person is going to take out a security guard each when they get in, and then Packie and Michael will handle the civilians while Niko and Derrick handle the employees. Derrick is going to rig the vault door with explosives once the situation is under control.

 

 

During the raid, Packie and Derrick begin arguing, and Michael gets shot by one of the civilians. After the cutscene, go down to the vault and get the money. The cops become aware of the robbery, and soon the entire building is surrounded by LCPD and N.O.O.S.E. officers. Make your way out of the building and take cover behind a tree.

 

 

Take out the cops and protect Packie and Derrick – then follow them into the alleyway and clear the path. Use the steps as cover, and throw a couple of grenades to take out the cops up ahead. All the N.O.O.S.E. officers must be eliminated before Packie and Derrick can proceed. Once they do, follow them, and once again clear the path.

 

 

When you reach Chinatown, watch out for the cops who are situated on the fire escapes above you. Again, clear the path for Packie and Derrick, and then follow them down the alley. More police arrive in a chopper, so Packie decides to use the subway as an escape route. Follow Packie and Derrick into the subway, and kill the two police officers immediately to your right as you enter. Use the pillars as cover when you reach the area with the ticket machines, and take out anyone who is in your way.

 

 

There is a first aid kit attached to one of the pillars, so grab it if you need health. Follow Packie and Derrick down to the platform, and use the third (last) pillar as cover. Throw some grenades across to the other side to take out the attackers, and then follow Packie and Derrick onto the tracks. Watch out for oncoming trains!

 

 

Once you reach street level, find a four-door car and get in it with Packie and Derrick. You’ll need to cross the Algonquin Bridge to get back to Packie’s place in Dukes, but police have blocked it off, so it is recommended that you lose your wanted level before attempting to cross the bridge. Use alleys and small roads when trying to escape from the cops – you’ll lose them much easier that way. Take Packie and Derrick back to Middleton Lane to complete the mission, and enjoy your hefty $250,000 reward.

 

 

Gerry McReary has a business opportunity that he needs your help with. Follow the “G_M” icon on the radar to take missions from him.

Packie wants you to do some work for Derrick McReary, as a personal favour to him and Gerry. They say they will cover any expenses. You can find Derrick at the “D_M” icon on the radar.
