San Fierro



Wear Flowers in Your Hair

After the opening scene, everyone talks you into opening the garage. You’ll need some help and thankfully Truth knows where to get it. First you’ll need to go pick up Jethro from the gas station. Once you have him, go to hospital. Stop on the red marker and then the next person to see will be Dwayne at the hotdog stand. Go there and talk to him and he’ll meet you back at the garage. After that, head to the cop station. When you are finished there, head to the next blue blip which will be your last pick up. Grab Zero and return to the garage to end the mission.



555 We Tip

As you take CJ’s second mission, Tenpenny calls and wants you to head to the Vank Hoff Hotel where the DA is heading. Grab a car and make your way there. Pull into the red marker and you’ll need to follow the valet across the street into the underground parking lot. Take out the valet driver and grab his uniform. Now head back up to the street to where the other valets are. Stand on the curb and look for the DA’s car to approach. If you can’t tell which one it is, a valet if there, will make a comment about it. Hop in it before another valet does and drive it back to the garage. You’ll have 2:28 to get it there and back to the valet garage. Drive as fast as you can to the garage because when you leave to go back, you can’t damage the car at all and will need to drive slow and careful.



226 Deconstruction

When the mission starts, run up the hill behind the garage to the construction site. Hop in the bulldozer and start by taking out the 5 portables. Move from one to the other and try not to hit the barrels in front of them. When you hit all 5, you will get a scene about the foreman coming out of his portable toilet. Use the bulldozer and drive over to it and then push the outhouse with the arrow above it into the hole. When you get it in, hop out and run over to the cement truck with the arrow above it. Drive over to the hole and backup to the red marker and fill the hole in. After you do, a scene will play and the mission will be over.



Photo Opportunity

After you get a call from Cesar, you need to haul butt to the blue blip on the map which is in north Los Santos. Make the long drive there and try not to kill yourself along the way. When you reach Cesar, do not kill the car on the way to Angel Pine which is another pretty long drive to make. When you get there, stop in the red marker and head up the stairs to the right to get to the roof of the building. Walk to the red marker and you will then need to take four pictures of people arriving. Make sure you get their faces or you will fail the mission. The first two will appear in the parking lot across from you and then two more will appear down the street to the right. Snap those as well and then a scene will play to end the mission. Head back to San Fierro and you will have your nifty camera back.

Jizzy

When you reach the garage, start the next mission and you will run into Wu Zi MU again. Watch the scene and then you will be on your way to Jizzy’s club which is located to the far north. Enter at the red mark and a scene will play. After it is over, hop in the pimpmobile and drive down town to drop off the hooker there at the red mark. When you do, you’ll get a call to go waste a pimp down the road. You’ll have 2 minutes to get there and take him out. Swing over to where he is and hop out when you reach him. Use your tech 9 to take him down and return to your car. When Jizzy calls again, you’ll need to race to his next ho and save her before the wacko’s kill her. Drive along the highway and take the first exit to go down and find them. Waste them and hop back in the car and you will get another call. Now you need to drive back to the hotel where you dropped off the first ho. When you get there, the ho will get in a car with a reverend and he will have a tail. You need to take out both cars, so grab yourself a motorcycle so you can shoot the cars. Fire your guns at them and if you run out of ammo, gab a big truck to smash the cars. When they are done, head back to the pimp mobile and Jizzy will tell you to do what you want with it, but you will then have a two star rating. Grab a car and run to the closest pay and spray. After you are cleared, head back to the garage and you will get a call from Wu Zi. He will want you to swing by.



Mountain Cloud Boys

Grab some body armor and a gun before tackling this mission. When you have it, make your way to WU Zi’s place and after the intro scene, you’ll need to grab a car. Drive around the block to the warehouse and pull over at the red marker. When you get out of the car, follow Wu Zi down the alley as he bounces into the walls. When the next scene starts, you’ll need to take out the gang members that arrive and protect Wu Zi. Make sure you pick up the weapons they drop as there are A LOT of enemies to kill here. When you kill everyone, you’ll hop in your car and make a break for it will two cars chasing you. Drive away and let Wu Zi fire at the cars. If your car starts to take a lot of damage, head to a Trans-fender to get it fixed up. When both cars are destroyed, take Wu Zi back to his place and the mission will be complete.



Ran Fa LI

When you go back to Wu Zi’s place a scene will play and you’ll meet Ran Fa Li. He wants you to go to the airport to pick up a package for him. Hop in your car and make your way to the airport parking lot. When you enter the lot, find the car and then get into it. When you do, the Da Nang boys will ambush you. They will have large trucks that block the exits but you can bust past them if you hit the trucks on the front or rear. Blow through them to get out of the airport and then you’ll need to make your way north to the water front. Take out the bike riders that come up beside you to attack and continue to the meeting point. When you get closer, cars and trucks will appear. Ignore them and head for the red marker to end the mission.



Lure

Head back to Wu Zi’s after the mission and you will be thrown right back into another one. After the opening scene, jump in the decoy car and you will need to drive a good distance to the country side. You can’t leave the car or get into too many accidents or else the tails will know it is you in the car. When you reach the red marker, a race of sorts will begin. Drive through each red marker as the bikes chase you. If they damage you too much you will lose the mission and they will know you are a decoy. Try to knock them down a lot so you can get a good distance ahead of them and not have to worry about them shooting at you. When you reach the gas station, the mission will end.

Amphibious Assault

Go and talk to Wu Zi and he will ask you if you can swim while he kicks your ass in a video game. If you don’t have a sufficient level of lung capacity or stamina, you’ll need to go level up now by swimming around in the lake. If you do have a good enough level, you will need to get your self to the docks to find the boat to place the bug on. When you get in the water, follow the red markers along and under the water where necessary. When you get out to the open water, you’ll need to swim out to the tanker. Look at the map and there will be four large circles that move. These are the spotlight. Don’t swim in those circles. Swim underwater the whole time and when you raise to the surface, don’t move. When you reach the red marker, climb up the stairs and grab the knife, there are 4-5 enemies here that it tells you to sneak up on, but I snuck up on the first two and then shot all the rest. Go up the stairs at the rear of the boat and then enter the cabin. Press triangle at the red marker and you will planet the bug. Make your way back off the boat the same way you got on and swim over to the next red marker being careful not to swim on the surfaced as a patrol boat will always be close. When you reach the dock, the mission will end.



The Da Nang Thang

Once again head back to Wu Zi’s and a scene will play about some Da Nang’s arriving on a container ship. Hop in the chopper and man the gun. Try to take out as many enemies as you can on the crates and when you find the second rpg enemy, he will take down the helicopter. Climb up the ladder and take out the first enemy. Grab his gun and then climb up the crates on the right. Kill the enemy there and then the two more to the left. Make sure you grab their weapons right away. Continue down and kill the next two and up the crates on the other side. Head right around the corner to find a few more and around another corner. To the right will be a health max heart to grab. Continue around the next corner and across the gap.



Make your way to the opening in the hull to the left and drop down. When you do, there will be some guys down there protecting the container. Make your way through the passage way and take them out. When you reach the container, shoot off the padlock and the refugees inside will tell you that the snake head inside the bridge tricked them. Head back up through the opening and head for the bridge. Kill the guard at the door and the two more inside. Head up the stairs and you will have a sword fight with the snake head. Hack him up and make your way back to the refugees. They will set out some dingies into the water and you will pass the mission. Head back to the shore and go save after that long mission.



Air Raid

Now that Wu Zi’s missions are complete, head over to the Z on the map and you will need $30k to buy out Zero’s shop. When you purchase it, he will call you to meet. Head to his store and a scene will play about Berkley. After words you’ll need to man the machine gun on the roof and take out the miniature planes that fly towards the comm. Towers. You need to do this mission in the daylight because at night the planes are just too impossible to see. Shoot the planes as they come and if you last long enough you will pass the mission. This was one of the toughest missions for me for some reason and it took quite a few tried to actually have at least one tower left over.

Supply Lines

Now you need to help Zero defeat Berkley’s lackies by using a radio controlled plane to shoot and kill his couriers. I guess doing it yourself is too easy. Anywhoo, you have 5 couriers to kill before your plane runs out of gas to pass the mission is a lot harder to complete then it seems. As the mission starts, there is one courier to the left of you that you can easily take out just by getting behind it and shooting him and his van when he gets out. The next will be just around the corner on a bike that is equally easy to hit. The third should be close now and it a van that will take off when shot. Make sure you get up close behind it and have enough time to fire at it as it drives off to blow it up. Now the two hard ones that are on the other side of the city. One is a van and the other a motorbike. The van was always parked for me and never moved so it was easy pickings but the bike is like the earlier van and will bolt. Make sure you take it down without letting it get away and then you need to head back to the roof of Zeros’ pad to end the mission.



T-Bone Mendez

Head to Jizzy’s club and you will meet T-Bone there. After he gets a call, you need to rush over to the ambush van and there will be 4 motorcycles with packages taking off. Hop on the bike there and you’ll need to catch up to all four before they deliver their goods. Ride up behind each one and tap the L1 button to snag the package from them. When you do snag them, the riders will then chase you as you go after the rest of the packages. Once you have all four, head back to Jizzy’s to pass the mission.



Mike Toreno

After you head back to Jizzy’s again, T-Bone will get another call and Mike will be in trouble. Head outside and you’ll have 5:29 to find Mike. Head down the street and they will tell you that he can hear seagulls and machinery. Head to the first yellow blip on the map and then he will say he is near the docks. Drive through the Construction yard and down to the waterfront. Make a right when you get there and head for the airport. When you get there, enter the yard and drive through the opening on the left. When you go up the ramp, head right as the signal gets stronger.



Keep going until you reach the van and two motorbikes. Follow them and they will eventually get out. When they do, pull away from them and then get out and shoot them from a distance. Once they are all dead, destroy the van and then you’ll need to get out of the airport before the cops come. Exit the same way you came in and when you hit the red marker you will have a three star rating and cops will be all over you. Head north and enter either the Spray and pay or the Trans-fender and then make your way back to Jizzy’s club to pass the mission.

Outrider

When you return from saving Mike, Jizzy will give you a call and tell you to meet T-Bone at a gas station near the docks. After the scene in the car, drive to the van and grab the rocket launcher and the sniper rifle. Hop on the bike and boot it to the first roadblock. Get close enough to the cars there and blow them up with the RPG. Take out any stragglers left on the street and the two snipers in the windows on the left. After the way is clear, head to the next one and again get close enough to make the RPG shots count. Take out the cars and use the sub machine gun to mow down the rest of the enemies. There will be three in the windows on the left here and I always had to chase down one enemy here. Look for the red blip on the map if you missed one. The last road block will be just down the street a little bit, so clear it out quickly and then follow the van to the parking lot. After the scene, hop in your car and you will have a three star rating. Boot it to the Spray and Pay and you will pass the mission.



Snail Trail

This name is very appropriate for the mission. It’s a long one but not hard. To start off the mission, you need to go to the construction yard behind your shop and grab the sniper rifle there in a pipe. Once you have it, book over to the train station and the reporter will get on the train. Now you need to follow the train all the way to Los Santo. Just follow behind the train and you won’t need to worry about getting lost or getting hit by oncoming trains. When you reach the station, the reporter will get off and then will be on his way to meet the informant. You will now have a spook-o-meter that will fill up the closer you get to the reporter. Keep your distance from him and hop in a car when you reach the top of the stairs. Now you will need to follow him in his taxi. Don’t get to close or you’ll blow it and likewise if you stay too far behind. Follow him to the docks and when he meets his informant, get out of the car and use the sniper rifle to tag both of them. When both are dead, the mission is over and you need to drive all the way back to San Fierro.



Ice Cold Killa

After you visit the shop between 22:00 and 06:00 you will start a scene looking for a silencer. Take Cesar’s and head down to Jizzy’s club. After the bouncers won’t let you in, run over to the scaffolding next to the bridge and climb up. When you reach the wooden ramp, walk off to the right and land on the clubs rooftop. Walk to the edge of the roof and use the sniper rifle to pop the tires on the car, not the limos, which is beside the bouncers. That will ensure Jizzy doesn’t get too far. If you blow the car up, then Jizzy will jump on a motorcycle. Head for the skylight and enter the club. Walk down the ramp and then down the stairs and jump over the edge to land on the ground. Head to where Jizzy is and a scene will play. Pop the enemies that appear across from you and head for the door. Kill the two more there and Jizzy will hop in his car. Grab a limo or a regular from the lot and chase him down. Ram him over and over until his car catches fire and he will hop out. When he does, shoot him and grab the cell phone to end the mission. I had a lot of problems with this mission. First, Jizzy would drive into the lake countless times and the cops would also be all over me from smacking into them while hitting Jizzy.



Pier 69

Go and meet Cesar at the red marker down by pier 69 and he will tell you to meet him up on the roof. Head up the side of the building and climb the stairs in the back. Walk over to Cesar to start another scene. After the scene use the sniper rifle to start popping the gang members on the roof top. When they are all dead, you’ll need to run across the street and get T-Bone. You can fight your way through the crowd of gang members or do what I did and just run right up the center until you find T-Bone at the rear and let him have it. Once he goes down, you’ll need to hop in the water and swim after Ryder. Hop in the boat behind his and follow him. When you get beside him, shoot him drive by style or stop controlling the boat and nail him with some of your other weapons. When his boat blows, you’ll have a 5 star rating and the cops will be all over you but you will have passed the mission.

Toreno’s Last Flight

After you make your way back to the garage, Wu Zi will call and tell you that Toreno is at a helipad. Head there and kill the few enemies on front. There will also be a few cops there to pop as well. Head over the barricade, down the slope and pop two more enemies there. Climb the stairs to the helipad and a scene will play showing you the chopper taking off. Kill the two enemies up here and grab the RPG. Jump off the edge of the pad toward the street and hop on the motorcycle there. Since this puppy is right quick, too quick in fact, you have time to go to the pay and spray near the garage to remove the star rating. If you don’t and you boot across the freeway, you’ll go faster than the chopper and need to wait around for it as the cops take you out. After you hit the pay and spray, jump on the freeway and follow behind the chopper, but not too close so that it fires at you, and when you reach the end of the freeway, it will stop and turn in the same place. Hop off your bike there and nail it with one good shoot to bring it down. Head back to the garage as you have passed the mission.



Yay-Ka-Boom-Boom

Drive your way to the red marker in front of the shop that has the wired car. Pick it up and drive it to the warehouse. When you get there get out and kill the guards in front of it. When they’re dead, walk slowly up to the gate and kill the enemies that are inside. When they are dead, hop back in the car and follow the yard around to a small ramp that leads into a docking bay. Slowly drive around the obstacles inside and place the car on the red marker at the chemical tank. Press O to activate it and then start taking out everyone in sight as you rush for the door before the timer counts down. When you get outside, make your way around to the main gate and it will close as a car pulls in. Kill the enemies that get out and then hop in it. There will be a few more enemies that show up so take them out before they take the car out. Now drive around to the barn like building and there will be a ramp inside. Drive up it straight through, up the middle and you’ll get out of the complex. Make you way back to the garage in any car you like and you will pass the mission.



Monster

After you complete the Yay-Ka-Boom Boom mission, you get another mysterious phone call. Drive out to the Question mark on the map and head across Carver Bridge to reach it. When you get there save and head for the red marker and talk to the boss. You will get a monster truck and need to drive a course through 35 markers in 6:30 minutes. Its pretty east compared to most races. After you complete it, you will be told that you will be contacted again.



Highjack

After the scene at the cabin, Cesar will pull up and you and he will be on your way to hijack a truck. Hop on the bike and boot along the highway to the bridge. When you catch up to the truck, pull up the left side of it and get near the cab. Hold the position as Cesar gets up and crouches for awhile. After a few seconds he will jump over and take control of the truck. Pull over and hop in the truck yourself and you will need to drive it back to your garage to complete the mission.

Interdiction

Make your way back to Toreno’s cabin and enter the red marker for a scene to play. After the scene, head to El Castillo Diablo and stop at the buildings there. Grab the rockets and hop on the dirt bike. Follow the path up to the yellow blip on the map and eventually driving up the path you will come to a board walk. Just near the end of it, make a right and the red marker will be there. Pull in for a scene and you will then need to protect the chopper. Fire your RPG at the 5 choppers that attack and when clear, the cargo chopper will drop his payload. Grab the parachute there in the building for safe keeping and hop in the buggy and make your way down to the green dot on the map as the cops chase you. After awhile they will give up and you are free to get it on your own. Once you have it, make your way to the hideout to pass the mission.



Verdant Meadows

Head back to Toreno’s when you reach the hideout and another scene will play. Now it seems he wants you to go buy some property for him. Ok, head to the abandoned airstrip and when you reach it, find the spinning green house and drop 80K down to buy the airfield. Head around the corner of the building and enter the office where the red marker is. When you do, a scene will play and you’ll need to learn how to fly.



Learning to Fly

Took a while to get this at first but hey, its flying. Press X and you’ll start moving. When the tail goes up, pull back on the stick and you’ll rise. Head straight for the circle without to much bouncing up and down and go through the set of three coronas in as less time possible.



Land Plane

Easiest one so far. Fly through the corona and press R3 to lower the landing fear and then press square to slow down as you hit the ground. Easy as that.



Circle Airstrip

This is a serious pain in the ass mission and will definitely take a few times to get through. What you need to do is take off from the run way and then circle around the airport by flying through corona to corona. Fly through each one and if you miss, just restart again. It does take a lot of getting used to turning and you definitely will be doing this mission more than a few times.

Circle Airstrip and Land

Same as previous training mission except this time you’ll need to land on the run way and stop in the red circle. Be prepared to do this one more than a few times to get a passing mark. Try to be as quick as possible and try not to blow the mission by exploding when you land.



Helicopter Take Off

Rise and turn 180 and start going forward immediately. The corona will appear as you get closer. Head through it and it will end the mission. Easy as pie.



Land Helicopter

Simply move forward to the landing strip and hover over the red marker as soon as the mission starts. Press R3 to level and then press square till you land right in side it. Easiest mission so far.



Destroy the Targets

A bit more difficult helicopter mission. Fly forward and tilt down and keep your finger on the machine guns and fire rockets non stop at the trucks. Take them all out in one pass and quickly circle back to the end where you started and there will be two cars there to destroy. Hover in one spot and turn and tilt to take them down the fastest. Once they are both toast, land in the red marker and pass the test.



Loop-the-Loop

Simple test to fly through the first corona. Immediately pull back on the left stick to loop after you go through it. After you loop around, you will have to guide the plane through the second corona.



Barrel Roll

Again, another easy test. Simply fly through the first corona and then press left on the stick to roll. Regain control since it will go a bit nutty after the roll and fly through the second corona.



Parachute onto Target

Another easy one. Just follow the instructions and try to land as close to the center as possible without over shooting the target.



After you finally pass all the missions you will get a phone call from Wu Zi and he will tell you to swing by his casino in Las Venturas. Before head there, head to the red marker on the airfield.

N.O.E.

After you have passed all the flying training and after your call from Wu Zi, a red marker will appear at the hanger for some flying missions from Toreno. Walk over to it and get ready for the mission that is easily the hardest in the game so far. If you thought circling the airport was hard, well you’re right, but this is much harder. After the scene with Toreno, you now need to fly the plane to a drop zone and then return to the airfield. As you are flying, you will have a visibility meter that will fill when you get to high. High is not nearly high and it will be going off a lot. When it stays full for too long, some jets will come after you unless you return to being low again.



When the jets do come, they’ll fire missiles at you that you can dodge by doing loops and barrel rolls, but the chances of dodging them a few times, is very slim. From the start head west, forward, until you reach the large body of water and then hook left, south. Stay above the water until you need to go inland to the corona you need to fly through. Once you fly through it, make your way back to the landing strip and land on the run way. When you do, drive to the red marker and the mission is over. Sounds easy enough but that visibility meter is a total pain in the ass. If you crash, you might as well reload your game since it will take forever to get back to the field.



Stowaway

After the scene with Toreno, you will need to hop on the bike there and drive up the ramp behind the plane that is taking off. Drive straight forward to stay to the far right to avoid the boxes in the middle of the runway. To get even near the plane, you’ll need to lightly press forward on the left stick to lean down and gain more speed. When you get near the plane, let the barrels roll out and then make a break for the ramp. Drive up it and you’ll be inside. Now there will be barrels rolling down towards you. Step in the alcoves on each side to avoid them and some of them will have enemies in them. Punch them out but don’t shoot them until you make your way to the end of the plane where the last enemy will be wearing a parachute. Take him down and take the chute. Now place a satchel charge on the plane anywhere and hop out the back door to blow the plane. Fall for a bit and then pull the chute. When I landed, I landed in a military base and had a 5 star rating. Now I’m not sure if I got the rating because of landing in the base or from blowing up the plane. Either way, get back to the airfield for the next mission.



Black Project

For this mission, you need to arrive between 20:00 and 6:00. When you do, the Truth will show up and tell you that he wants you to break into area 69 and grab the secret project they are working on. When you get there, the game tells you that you have until 5:30 to enter the facility and to be all stealthy and so forth but blasting your way through is much more fun. Kill everyone you see and head for the yellow blip on the map that will be a vent. Shoot it and then walk in. When you land, head down the tunnel and shoot the vent there. Make your way to the right to get armor and a chaingun. Continue to make your way through the lab and through the red hallway. After you are told to get a security card, take it from the scientist there and head through the doors to the blast chamber. Take out the enemies lining the walls and work your way to the bottom. Hop in the jetpack and fly up and out. Head directly for the yellow blip on the map where Truth is waiting for you. Land in the red marker or run up the hill like I did and the mission will end.

Green Goo

After the Truth gives you call on your phone, head back to the airfield to meet him. He will want you take the jetpack over to a train that is coming through Las Venturas to retrieve a package of green goo for him. When you reach the train, there will be a lot of military personnel on board so use r1 to target them and take them down as you come across each. On the train itself, there will be a few crates that have a green arrow above them. Shoot the crates and it will tell you whether or not the crate was empty or if it the right crate with the goo. When you land on the train, hop from car to car to find the crates. You can jump or climb over the obstacles, so you’ll have to boost over each as you go along. Once you have it, simply fly back to the air base and you are now on your way to Las Venturas!



Part Three coming soon!
