Los Santos



After the opening scene, you’ll be in control of Carl. Hop on the bike in front of you and press X to pedal. Make your way to the CJ on the map in the corner and enter the red marker there when you reach it. Enter your house where the yellow arrow is.



Big Smoke

Watch the scene as you wander around your house a little bit and are introduced to Big Smoke. After your little chit chat with him, head outside and hop in the car.



Sweet and Kendal

After the scene is over hop in Smoke’s car and you’ll go to the cemetery to meet Sweets and Kendal. After the scene, some Balla’s will come by and blow up your car. Hop on the bike there and try to keep up with Sweets as he rides down the street. Also be sure to stay away from the Balla’s car that will be firing at you. When you reach a rest stop, you’ll need to keep up with Ryder until you reach your house and stop in the red marker. Now you will be shown how to save and save a ride as well. Enter the house and save and in here, when you have clothes, you can change upstairs and you can play gamers on the TV. Head back outside and make your way over to Ryder’s house on the left.



Ryder

Hop in Ryder’s car and make your way to the barber shop, the yellow blip on the radar. Enter the red marker when you get there and pick yourself a haircut from the menu. When you are satisfied walk back outside and then head across the street to grab some food. Order what you want from the menu and then Ryder will enter. Run outside and hop in Ryder’s car and make your way back to his house and he will tell you to go see Sweet. Run over to Sweet’s place across the street and talk to him.



Taggin up Turf

After you talk to Sweet, he’ll tell you how to tag up the neighborhood. Hop into his car and drive to the yellow mark on the map to reach the red marker. When you get out, Sweet will show you how to tag walls and tell you to go get two more. Head across the street from your car to find one and then the other will be around the corner in the back alleyway. When you have them tagged, hop back in Sweets car and drive to the next destination, East Los Santos. When you reach it, you’ll have to find three tags to spray. The most difficult is across the street at the red marker where you’ll learn to climb up walls and fences. Tag the tag up there and the two others and hop back in Sweets car and drive back to his house.

Cleaning the Hood

When you step into the next red marker, watch the scene and you’ll be off to go see Bear and B Dup. Drive there and enter the building to watch another scene. After it is over, hop in Ryder’s car and drive to the red blip to find a crack dealer. When you get near them, you’ll pull over to go beat them. Make sure there are no cops around and then go pound him. After you beat him, another scene will play and you’ll pick up a baseball bat. Drive to the yellow dot and enter the crack den. Beat the dope dealers inside and then make your way back to Ryder’s house.



Drive-Thru

Enter the next red marker and a scene will play to go get some food. Drive to the Cluckin’ Bell and after the scene you’ll need to chase down the Balla’s car and shoot them before they reach Grove St. When the car blows, kill the passengers and another scene will play. Make your way to Smokes house for another scene to play. Now you can either go to the gym to work out or go back to grove St. and enter the red marker there to trigger the next mission.



Nines and AK’s

After the scene, hop in your car and drive to the yellow blip and stop on the red mark. Watch the scene and you’ll meet the gun dealer, Emit. After you are in control, take out the bottles on the target range. When you have learned to shoot, hop back in your car and drive Smoke home. After you drop him off you’ll get a call to go get some clothes. Drive to the Binco if you like and grab some new duds and head back to Big Smokes house.



Og Loc

After the scene at Smokes, drive yourself up to the jail in Little Mexico to pick up Og Loc. Once you have him, drive to Freddy’s house. When you get there, ring the door bell and then Freddy will take off on his bike. Chase him down and kill him when you catch up to him. If you take too long he will sit and wait for you to catch up and eventually get off his bike. When he’s dead, take Loc to the Burger Shot and around to the back door where the red marker is. When he gets out to do his business, make your way back to Grove St. and stop by Ryder’s place.



Drive By

After the scene, hop in the car and drive to Balla territory. When you reach the red marker, you will need to hunt down some gang bangers. Drive straight and there will be some Balla’s around the corner. Take them down and circle around the block if you need to finish them off. After they are dead, you will be told to go find some more of them. Head to the next red dot on the map and there will be some more to hunt down there. After you take down three more groups, you will have a two star rating and will be wanted by the cops. Drive yourself to the closest spray shop and get away from them. Roll out of the spray shot and roll back to Grove St.

Home Invasion

Go to Ryder’s place and a scene will play with him digging up his back yard. After he’s done, hop in his truck and head for the yellow blip to park the truck near the house. Hop out and enter the house. Now you need to sneak through the house and pick up three crates and take them back to the truck. There are two in the hallway upstairs and one in the room to the right on the first floor. Walk slowly but quickly to get all three before the daylight countdown hits zero. When you have all three, hop back in the truck and roll to the storage warehouse and enter it. Once the truck is parked and the scene plays, head back to Grove St.



Sweet’s Girl

Head on over to Sweets house and a scene will play where you need to go pick up Sweet. If you don’t have a gun on you, you’ll need to swing by Emmett’s to grab one first. Make your way towards the red blip and run over as many of the gang members as you can with out having to get out and shoot them. When you have killed all you can reach, get out and finish off the rest. Sweet will call when they are dead and will tell you to get a car to meet them in front. When you do, drive back to Grove St. and save. Now you can pick either Ryder’s house or Sweet’s.



Catalyst

When you enter Ryder’s house officer Tenpenny will show up and tell you that there is a train making a stop that he wants you to check out. After they leave, hop into Ryder’s car and make your way towards the yellow blip on the map. When you get there, there will be some Vago’s attacking the train. Run them over and shoot the rest and then some Balla’s will show up. Take them out as well and then hop on the back of the train by stepping on the red marker. When the train starts moving, you’ll need to toss out crates to Ryder in his car. Aim high and over his head and he’ll catch each one. If he misses they explode, so it’s better to throw them too far then not far enough. After you have them, you will have a three star rating and will need to get to a spray shop pronto. When you get into one, you’ll be clear to head back to Grove St. and drop of the crates.



Robbing Uncle Sam

After the scene with Ryder about the army, hop into his truck and get ready for another sneaky mission. Head to the ocean docks across on the small island and enter the compound there. When you get there hop over the fence and pop the two guards there. Shoot the control on the wall and the gate will open. Shoot the next gate as well to open the warehouse and kill the guards in there as well. Now you’ll need to load 6 crates on to the truck by using the forklift and keep Ryder alive. Load them on one at a time and run and kill a guard if you see one firing. Don’t let Ryder take them on alone. He’ll just stand there and get taken down. When you have the four crates inside, you need to get the 2 crates outside loaded. When all six are loaded up, hop in the truck and make your way to the lock up which is at Emmett’s gun shop. Pull in the alley way while the hummer chase you and honk the horn when you want Ryder to toss one at the pursuers. When you reach the gun shop, make your way back to Grove St. and all of Ryder’s missions will be completed.



Cesar Vialpando

After the opening scene, make your way to a car and head for the garage in Willowfield. Drive to the yellow blip and pick up your bouncy low rider car. Enter the mod shop and change up your car and head to the bounce off competition and enter. The game plays just like DDR where you have to move according to the arrows. If you finish the contest and win, another scene will play. After you are back in control you are free to go pick another mission.

Running Dog

Roll on over to Big Smokes place and Tenpenny will be leaving. After the scene, hop in the car with BS and drive to meet his “Mexican cousin”. If you need a piece, make sure you hit Emmett’s place first. When you reach the meet, you’ll get into a fight with two guys there and one will take off and hop over some fences. Chase him down and shoot him when you have him in sight. When he drops, the mission will be passed.



Wrong Side of the Tracks

After the run in with Tenpenny, you and Big Smoke are on the way to Unity Station. Head for the yellow blip as usual and when you reach it drive into the red mark. After the scene plays, hop on the motor bike with Big Smoke and hunt down the vagos gang members. Now the fun begins as the vagos members are on top of a train. Catch up to it and you will need to have Smoke fire at the enemies at the front of the train on the roof. Stay ahead of the train a little ways and in front of it to avoid getting nailed by trains on the other tracks. It will take a while and you will be far out of the city by the time you kill all of them. Head back along the highway to Big smokes house to complete the mission.



Just Business

When you arrive at Big Smokes house, he’ll ask you to take him for a drive downtown. Hop in his car and make your way there. When you enter the building, it will be a war zone. Crouch and start taking out enemies left right and center. Grab the all the ammo you can around the room and the body armor behind the counter at the far end. Go through the door on the right will Smoke and you will come outside. Kill a few more enemies here and a scene will play with Smoke jumping on a bike. Now you need to be the gunner and take down the other bikes that appear to take you down. Take down all the bikes and enemies as well as the cars. After you get past the truck by jumping over it, you need to shoot the gate to get through and then you can shoot the red barrels in the alley after you pass them to blow up the followers. When you exit the alley, the mission is over.



Life’s a Beach

When you return to the burger shot where you dropped off Og Loc between 22:00 – 6:00 talk to him and he’ll need you to steal some sound equipment from a beach party. Head to the beach and walk to the red marker. Talk to the DJ there and you’ll need to reply twice positively to her and dance to impress her to get close enough the speakers. Once you impress her, hop in her van by replying positively again and drive it to the garage that appears on your map and finish the mission.



High stakes, Low-Rider

Jump in a low-rider car and make your way to Caesars garage, indicated by the CV on the map. After you talk to him, follow him to the race start and then it’s on. It’s a pretty short race to a pier and if you win first place you win the mission. If not, go back and try and try again. I found that the pimp’s cars were the easiest to handle around the streets rather than the low rider like Caesar drives.

Madd Dogg’s Rhymes

Well since Og Loc’s rhymes are very lacking in any quality whatsoever, you’re off to steal Madd Dogg’s rhymes for him to use. Make your way up into the hills near Mulholland and go to his mansion. Drive down the ramp to the entrance at the rear of the house and make your way in. When you enter, you will now have to enter the house using stealth and only use stealth kills on the enemies. Sneak up behind the first enemy and kill him and enter the next room. Hide in the shadows and let the guard walk away. When he comes to you, lock on to him and kill him. Enter the next room and immediately head to the left and hide in the shadows there.



When he is standing in the doorway, walk over and kill him and then head into the next room. Make a left down the hall and enter the bar, staying as close to it and crouched as possible. Walk through the room to the far side and hang a right around the corner to the recording studio. Grab the book from it and suddenly the place will be swarming with guards. You can use your guns now and head for the exit. Use the silencer pistol on all the guards and just head out the door. When you get outside, make a left and grab the bike there and ride down the path to the street. Grab a car and make your way back to Og at the Burger Shot. When you give him the book, you pass the mission.



Burning Desire

After the Madd Dogg mission, Tenpenny will give you a call to meet him at a donut store. Go there and Tenpenny will give you a mission to first go pick up some Molotov cocktails from an alleyway downtown. Once you go and get them, you will be told to go to the gang house and torch it up. Head there and you will need to toss 5 cocktails in the downstairs windows. Try not to get too close to the windows as you torch them or else you’ll end up torching yourself. Each time you torch a window, some enemies will show up to fire at you. If you need health, there is a Cluckin’ Bell down the street to recharge at. Once you torch each window, you will then need to enter the house and rescue the girl upstairs. Grab the fire extinguisher on the way through and be quick about it. She has limited life until you reach her. Head up the stairs to find her at the end of the hall and behind some flames. When you have her, you can take your time getting back out of the house. When you get outside, drive her home and you’ll learn her name is Denise.



Doberman

Sweet will give you a call on your phone after you have taken care of Denise and will tell you to meet him. Drive to Ammu-nation and you will have the task of wiping out the entire Balla’s gang at Glen Park. Grab a car and gun if you need it and get there and start killing them all. There will be three waves of enemies that will attack, each wave consisting of around 5 members each. After the third wave, the territory will be yours. After it is explained, Grass will run out of a house and you will need to pop him. When you do, the mission will end.

Management Issues

When you go back to Burger Shot to talk to Og Loc, he will tell you that someone is talking smack about him all the time and wants you to take him out. Hop in a car and drive to the red blip on the map which is another Burger Shot restaurant. When you get there, he’ll be leaving and you need to take him out. Tap his car to make him stop and then get out and kill him. Hop in his car and if it is damaged, you’ll need to take it to a Trans-fender to repair with a paint job. When it is fixed, drive to the meeting before 22:00 and without damaging the car. When you reach where the other cars are, you need to pull into the parking spot the same way as the other cars are lined up. Once you do, then you will need to drive to the award show in between the two cars. Stop when the screen tells you too and a scene will play where the manager will get in your car. Now drive down to the pier where the yellow blip is and keep driving full speed when you reach it. When you near the end, you will be told to hit the Triangle button to jump out. Jump out before you go over the edge with the car and you will pass the mission.



Los Sepulgros

When you go to Sweet’s he’ll tell you about a funeral that’s going down and that there are a lot of gang members that are going to be there. Recruit some of your own gang members, and hop in your car. You will then have four minutes to get to the funeral. When you reach it, hop over the wall and have your gang follow you as you chase Kane. Run after the red dot and waste him. When he’s down, you then need to take out the rest of his gang. After they are all dead you will have a two star rating and the cops will be all after you. There is a spray shop very close so look at the map to see it and head for it. When you get in, wait and then head home after the stars clear. Drive into the red mark on Grove St. to finish the mission.



House Party

When you reach Og’s party between 8pm-6am, a scene will play and some Balla’s will be on their way. When they arrive, you’ll need to use the cars for cover and take them down. When the first rush dies, there will be some more on a bridge above you. Kill those four as well and then a big rush of enemies will come from all around you in the alley ways. You will really want some body armor for this mission since you can get took really fast. Kill the wave of enemies and make sure you pick up their weapons for ammo and you should be able to handle them all no problem.



Gray Imports

After talking to Tenpenny, he’ll tell you to hit the docks where the Balla’s are dealing with the Russians. Make your way down to the docks and you’ll need to enter the compound and find a way into the warehouse. Drive into the area and run over as many enemies as you can. When they are dead, get out and fire at the rest. Climb on the containers and grab the armor there as well as making your way to the keypad beside the bay doors. Shoot it and kill the two guards just inside the door and make your way and the passageway to find a few more enemies. There are some health and armor power ups inside so don’t worry if you take some hits. When you get to the office in the rear of the building, you can grab the AK-47 from behind the boxes under the office and then climb up the stairs and the Russian arms dealer will be inside. Shot at him and chase him out of the office and through the yard. When he jumps in a car, jump on the motorcycle there and chase after him. Fire at him with you gun or try to cut him off so he crashes and blows up. When his car is kaput, the mission ends.

Reuniting the Families

After Sweets’ inspiring speech, hop in the car and drive to the meet at the motel. When you arrive, all hell will be breaking loose and Smoke and Ryder will take off on you. Enter the motel at the yellow arrow and you’ll need to find Sweet inside. Head up the stairs on the left and enter the first room. A woman will run up and heal you for saving her. From there, continue down the hall killing the SWAT team that appears. When you get to the end, some more troops will come in through the roof. Go up the stairs there and be sure to grab the armor there. Continue down the hall and kill the enemies there. Enter the room on the left for some suga and continue down the hall. Make your way down one more hallway and Sweet will be on the room on the right.



Once you talk to him, you’ll be on your way outside. Pop the 4 cops on chopper and then use the shotgun to take down the bird itself. After that, follow Sweet down the steps and Ryder and Smoke will pick you up. Now you’ll need to fire at the cops as they chase you. You have very limited life on your car so be sure to shoot the cops themselves that are firing at you and then shoot their cars. After you pass the first round of cops, some motorcycle cops will show up. They will jump over on to your car so you’ll have to shoot them off. Once you get far enough that you see the second helicopter, it will play itself until the end of the mission. Each time I did this mission I had zero life on my car at the end so it really does cut it close.



The Green Sabre

After you get back to the house and talk to Sweet, Caesar will call and says that he really needs to see you. Move to where he is under the freeway and stop in the red marker. When you do, get out of the car and hop in the car in the alleyway. After the scene you’ll need to get back to Sweet before the ambush kills him. Get to the yellow mark and a scene will play as you hop out of your car. Start killing all the Balla’s in sight and you will get messages about wave after wave of Balla’s arriving. When the Balla’s arrive in a car, stay far away from them and let them stop and get out. When they do get out, then you can take them down a lot easier and quicker. Once those Balla’s are down, the cops will arrive and a scene with Ed and Tenpenny starts.



Badlands

Once you are in Angel Pine, run over to Ammu-nation and grab a gun. When you have it, head across the street to the red marker and save your game there. Hop in a car or on a bike and make your way to the yellow blip on the other side of town. When you reach the red marker, head up the hill to the right and follow the road up and around to the next marker and you will be at a cabin. There are a few ways to handle this mission, but the easiest I found was to sneak into the cabin through either the front or back door and pop the informant before he can get to the car. Another way is to let him get to his car and then chase him down and bump or shoot his car until it blows up or he gets out. Either way, after you kill him, take your camera and take a picture of him. Return it to the trailer in town and you will pass the mission.

First Date

After the Badlands mission, you will get a call from Cesar and then you’ll need to go find his cousin. Head for the ? on the map which is a good distance away and you will run into her. After you talk to her, she will tell you of 5 places she is set to knock off. Head to the closest one which will be a gas station.



Tanker Commander

After the scene, grab the rig and pull it up to the tanker. You need to back it up perfectly to the tanker in the parking lot and then a car will come after you. Stop and get out and shot the car until it blows. When it does, hop back in the truck and drive to the yellow blip on your map. When you reach the spot, pull the truck into the red marker and you’ll pass the mission. Be careful driving though, any tight turns and you’ll lose the trailer and fail the mission.



Body Harvest

After you drop off the truck, you’ll get a call from “The Truth” who wants to meet you in Angel Pines, way back where you were before you had to go meet Catalina. Enter the red marker and you will run into an old friend and “the truth”. After the scene, you will need to make your way to a farm and grab the combine harvester. When you have the harvester there will be a load of enemies coming after you. Run them over and just keep driving back towards the road. Make a left out of the farm and make a quick right follow the dirt road there and it will lead to The Truths farm. Drop off the combine there and after you take the cell call from Cesar you will pass the mission.



King in Exile

After the call, make your way back to town and to the safe house to save and that’s where you will meet Cesar. After you have quick chat with him, you will get a call from Catalina.



First Base

Make your way back to the other town and make your way up to Catalina’s cabin. When you get there, a long scene will play and you are off to rob the other places you originally had intended to rob.



Against all Odds

Enter the gambling parlor and you will need to toss a satchel against the door. Switch to the detonator and blow the door up. When you enter the small room, throw another satchel at the safe and blow it as well. Make sure you stay a good distance away because the blast will kill you very easily. Now that you have the loot, head out side and you will have a 4 star rating. Head for the closest car and drive to the spray and pay on the map. It will be at the end of a street that you’ll turn into quickly and avoid the fuzz.



Gone Courting

When you return to the hideout, you will get another quick scene between Carl and Catalina.

Small Town Bank

When you arrive at the bank, enter it and Catalina will be in the other room taking the cash. Point your shotgun at the four people there and toggle back and forth as their hands move down wards. If you miss the guy, he will start shooting. Take him out and then you will need to pop the cash machines for the cash inside. Blow all three and then follow Catalina outside. Now you will be in an alley way full of cops. Let Catalina take most of them out while you pop the close ones with the shotgun and the far away ones with the pistol. When you reach the end of the alley, two cops will arrive on motorcycles. Take them down and hop on. Follow Catalina, but it really doesn’t matter if you stay with her or not. When you catch up to where she is surrounded, drive to her and let her hop on your bike. Drive back to the hideout and the mission will end.



Made in Heaven

Just another quick scene between Carl and Catalina.



Local Liquor Stores

As you reach the liquor store, 4 guys on ATV’s will pull up and rob it before you do. When they come out, Catalina shoots one and then the other three flee. Hop on the ATV there and give chase. When you are close enough, Catalina will shoot at them and kill them. There is one that will fall off and will drop the briefcase of cash. Grab it and continue on after the remaining enemies. When they reach their hideout, they will get off their bikes and shoot at you. If you don’t stay up to them, they will lose you and you will fail the mission. After you have all three dead and the briefcase, head back to your hideout.



Wu Zi Mu

When you finish Catalina’s missions, you will need to go see Cesar at a farm. When you go, grab the Buffalo car beside Catalina’s hideout for the upcoming race. It is a super fast car with great acceleration that you can use to win the race without even trying. When you reach Cesar, the race will be very long, much longer than the first race but thankfully the other cars aren’t all that fast. If you use the Buffalo, you should be able to win the race very easily. After you do win, you will talk to Wu Zi Mu and he will tell you to look him up if you are in San Fierro. After the scene and after the mission is passed head to the red marker in front of you to talk to Cesar again.



Farewell My Love

When you reach the CV on the map, a scene will play with Catalina and an old acquaintance from GTA 3. You will have a nifty fast car to race with against 4 other cars. The race is the opposite of the race you did earlier against Wu Zi Mu. At the beginning there are lots of turns and bends, but later on there are plenty of open straight-aways that you can make up ground on if you fell behind during the turns. After the race is over, you will get a deed to a garage in San Fierro instead of a pink slip.

Are You Going to San Fierro?

After the farewell from Catalina, you will get a phone call from The Truth. Make your way over to him and you will get a scene with him and his “Mothership”. When the cops show up, you’ll need to help him torch the fields of weed. Use the flamethrower he gives you as well as the satchel charges to clear out large areas at once. If you run out of fuel, head to the barn for more and make sure you torch them all. You may want to start at the far side, so when you do run out of fuel, you don’t have to run so far. After you torch them all, talk to the Truth and you’ll need to blow up the helicopter that follows him. As soon as you are told to blow it up, look up and fire. The longer you take, the harder it is to hit. When you nail it, run over to the Mothership and you will be on your way to San Fierro. When you reach the garage that you won off Catalina, the mission will end and you’ll be in a new city, San Fierro.



Part Two Coming Soon.
