Las Venturas



Fender Ketchup

After you reach Wu Zi’s casino and have a chat with him, he will give you the task of interrogating a capture mob family member. Now you will have him strapped to the hood of your car and you will need to scare him into talking. As long as you don’t get into any head on collisions or destroy your car, this mission is a snap. Drive fast and into on coming traffic a lot and he will squeal like a pig in no time flat. Once the spook-o-meter is full, head back to the four dragon’s casino.



Explosive Situation

After you return to the casino and have another chat with Wu Zi, he’ll need you to go to the quarry to gather some explosives to blow up the mobs casino. Hop in a car and make your way there. When you reach it, after the short scene plays and shows you the two men beside the detonator, pull out your sniper rifle and pop both of them where they stand. When you do, the counter will disappear and you won’t have a time limit on the mission. Drive down to the bottom of the quarry and hop in the giant dump truck. Use it to run over the four packages of dynamite and then pick them up. Once you have them, you’ll need to escape the now blocked quarry. Use the dirt bike and simply follow the red arrows along the paths. Make the jumps where necessary and when you zip past the two trucks, you’ll be back outside. Follow the road forward to the red marker and the mission will end as well as open quarry missions for you.



You’ve Had Your Chips

After the scene with Wi Zi and the fake chips, you’re off to the factory where they make them to destroy the machines. There are two ways of entering. One through the front door will alert the guards there and make it tougher to enter, two is to enter by hopping the fence beside the factory and walk into the front door. When you do it this way, there will be fewer enemies to deal with. When you enter, immediately take down the two enemies behind you at the car and then start to work on the enemies inside. Take out everyone in sight before starting on the machines. When everyone is dead, use the RPG to blow up each machine the fastest. When they are all dead, more enemies will show up outside, so blast your way through and hop in the car there. Drive back to the blip and the mission will end.



Don Peyote

Paul and Maccer seem to be in a bit of trouble out in the desert thanks to the truth. Hop in a car that can hold 4 people such as a cab and make your way out to the blue blips. When you reach them listen to them blab and you’ll need to drive to the Snake farm. Just hop on the road and drive the short ride there and some country fellers will come out to say hi. Take them down quickly and hop back in the car. Now all you need to do is drive the duo back to Caligula’s Casino and watch the scene.

Intensive Care

Drive to Caligula’s and then to the hospital. After the scene, follow the ambulances. Hit them each until one takes off and doesn’t stop. When it does, chase after it and bang it till it stops. When it does stop, hop out and kill the driver and jump in it. Drive to the meat factory and along the way some back up will arrive to harass you. Ignore them and enter the meat factory to end the mission.



The Meat Business

Take Ken for a ride to the Sindacco abattoir to have a word with Johnny. After the scene, start firing and killing every mobster in sight. Ken will put out the fire in front of you and enter the next room. When he does enter with him and continue to kill more enemies. Ken will enter the freezer on the right so make sure you don’t. If you do, the mission will fail. Wait for him to come back out and continue through the warehouse killing everyone else in sight. Once everyone is dead, head out and back to the casino.



Fish in a Barrel

After dropping off Ken, head back to the Four Dragons and enter the office. This mission is nothing more then just a cut scene with Wu Zi.



Free Fall

Make your way to the airport and enter the field. Make a left over to the far side of the field and grab the Dodo there with the blue arrow above it. Take off and head far north until you see the plane coming at you. Get behind it and enter the corona as you chase it. After the scene you’ll be aboard and you’ll need to tag four guards inside. Take them down and then the captain as he appears and fly back to the airport and land.



Misappropriation

For this mission, you need to make your way far out in to the desert. When you reach the compound, make your way out to where you can see the target, noted by the arrow above his head. Either pop the agent there where he stands from afar or chase after him and hop in the other chopper and follow him to the landing pad. When he gets out, get out yourself and shoot him. Once he is dead, climb down the stairs to the parking garage to grab a car and head out through the bottom floor.

High Noon

Make the long haul back out to the desert to where TenPenny and Pulaski are. After the scene, Pulaski will take off and you’ll need to chase him down. Run towards him and pop his tires before he has a chance to take off. When he does, hop in the buggy beside where you started from and chase after him. If you got his tires he won’t be going to fast or too far. Chase after him and finish him off by crashing or shooting him. Use the RPG for the quickest kill and then head back to the city.



Madd Dogg

Drive to the D on the map to start the Madd Dogg mission. When you arrive, Mad Dogg will be ready to jump from the ledge. After the scene, run and get the truck on the right and drive to the red marker. Now you need to drive back and forth to catch Dogg when he falls. Catch him and then drive him to the hospital. Every time you get hit, it will hurt mad Dogg and blood will fly out the back of the truck. Try to keep him alive and reach the hospital to end the mission.



Saint Mark Bistro

After you drop off the Madd Dogg at the hospital, you’ll get a phone call from Ken to help him out. Head to Caligula’s Palace for a scene. After the chat with Salvatore, looks like you are heading back to Liberty City. Head to the airport and enter the plane. Start up and fly your way out to the marker to get to Liberty City. When you reach it, you’ll enter the city and you’ll pull up to the bistro. When you are back in control, pop up and blast each enemy as they appear. Some more will run up the stairs on the right and give you more targets. Go down and kill a few more and enter the hallway. Continue along and kill a few more enemies and go through the kitchen. Enter the door to get outside and there will be three or four more enemies. Kill everyone here and the mission will end. After you finish this mission, you will get calls from Salvatore, Sweet and Wu Zi.



Architectural Espionage

When you hit the green S in the casino, you will have some new missions to take on. Head to the Pirate in Men’s Pants and kill the tourist there with red arrows over their heads. You only need to kill the one with the camera though. Grab the camera and then make your way to the planning building. Walk in with no weapons showing and reply positively twice to the secretary. After she tells you to go to the top floor, go through the door to left and climb the stairs to the top floor. Now go back down again to the floor below and punch the air conditioner to blow it up. When it does, head back up and snap a pic of the plans in the far office. Now cops will show up so you can blast away. There will be more than a few that appear in the staircase, so do your best taking them down with out taking too much damage. Hit the bottom floor and go through the door and right to get outside. When you get outside, cops will be all over you, so hop in the car directly ahead of you and bolt to the casino. It says the front of the casino to drop off the pics but they lie. Head up the left side and drop on the red marker there to end the mission.

A Key to Her Heart

This is somewhat of an odd mission. First you need to drive to Caligula’s Casino and wait for the Croupier to leave. When she hops in her car, a spook-o-meter will appear and you’ll need to keep your distance but still stay close enough to follow her. Follow her to the Sex Toy shop and enter it after she does. Enter the back corner where the red marker is and you will get a gimp suit put on. Walk out of the shop with it and hop back in your car to follow the Croupier again. Now follow her to her house and wait out side for her date to arrive. When you see a guy walking along the sidewalk with a purple dildo in his hand, take him down and pick it up. When you have it, enter the red marker and you will enter her house. Watch the scene play and you will have your self a new girlfriend to visit later on at 2am other nights.



Dam and Blast

A nice and simple mission that is a lot easier than they try to make it seem to be. Head to the airport and hop in the marked plane. Fly out to the marker and bail when told to. Now you need to parachute down to the marker or at least somewhere around it. When you land in the water preferably, climb up the dock on the side and make your way to the building. Kill the few guards outside with any way you choose. It says to be sneaky but you don’t have to at all. Enter the building when they are dead and you will now need to plant the explosives. Again, kill everyone in here on both the lower floor and the upper floor. When everyone is dead, head to the upper floor and proceed to plant the bombs on each generator. When they are all planted, a scene will play and you will be back out side. Swim over to the sea plane or chopper and head back to the casino.



Cop Wheels

This mission is a pain in the ass if you don’t follow the right path to get the bikes. There are four bikes to get and two of them will have a cop jump on it and take off when you get close. The first bike you get should be to the southeast. It will be off to the side of the high way and a cop will be giving a DUI test there. Grab the bike and high tail it along the highway to the truck. Drop off the bike there and by this time you should be up near the North West of the city. Get a car and grab the bike that is furthest west. This bike will be in parking lot with a cop and a copter. Snipe the cop before you get close and hop on the bike. Again hop on the highway and take the bike to the truck. Now you should have a two star rating. Get in a car and make your way to the spray and pay that is near the northern bike that is left. Use it and then head for the bike. This bike will have no one guarding it other then two cops talking. Jump on it and then on the highway and again go to the truck. For the last final bike, head north on the east side of the highway and the bike will be out front with a few other bikes. Snipe the cop and jump on the bike before he does. Now you simply need to jump on the highway which is right next to you and get to the truck before the rest of your time runs out.



Up, Up and Away

For this mission, you need to head over to the military fuel dump in the far north east and grab a chopper that you can use to pick up an armored car. Seems easy enough. What they tell you to do is to get a military vehicle and go through the front door. Screw that. Go back to Verdant meadows and grab the jetpack. With it you can fly straight into the base and land on the chopper pad. When you do, kill the two enemies there and now to gunships will be coming for you. Hop back in the jetpack and zoom over to the red markers at the gun placements. Use the gun here to bring down the two gunships. When they are both blown up, zoom back up to the chopper and hop in. Now fly over to the van that is in the depot and hover over it to pick it up with the magnet. Once you have it, get some altitude and make your way back to verdant Meadows. This part can be a bit tricky when you have to drop off the van in the small red marker. Slowly lower the van into it and then a larger marker will appear for you to land in. Do so without blowing up you, the chopper and the van and you will pass the mission.

Breaking the Bank at Caligula’s

For this mission, you need to have the keycard from Millie. Millie is the sex fiend croupier that works at the casino and is your girlfriend now. To get the card you need to date her and woo her to get the progress meter up to half to get the key from her. Since I am in impatient bitch, I capped her ass on the first date with her. To get a date, show up at her house at noon and she will be home. There are a few times that she’ll be home but I would just go to her house and stand in front of it until she was home. Boring but effective. After you kill her, you’ll get a call from Wu Zi to get the key from inside her house. Go there and get it and then head back to the 4 dragons. Now you can begin the mission. Drive to Caligula’s and enter the casino. Run to the security door and get the pass key. Use it on the neighboring door and go through. Make your way down to the generator room and toss a smoke grenade through the open vent on the wall.



Now head down another flight of stairs to the loading bay and you will need to put on the NVG’s and grab the fork lift to open the door. Do so and the gang will enter. Now lead them to the vault by killing every guard you see in the halls. They are easy to pick off as usual and pose no real threat if you take them out fast enough. Continue through the halls to the vault and then grab the satchel there. Head back up the stairs after the scene and take out more enemies on your way to the generator room you were previously in. Place the two satchels on each generator and head out of the room. Blow them up and make your way back down stairs. When you reach the crew again, you will now need to lead them back to the loading bay where you first met them. Kill everyone in your way again and when you reach the loading bay the lights will come on as the crew leaves.



Now you are on your own to reach the roof. Leave the NVG’s on since you can see better for this part with them and head up the stairs and down the hall to the elevator. Kill the guards along the way and grab the armor down the side hall near the lift. When you get out of the elevator, take off the NVG’s and head for the door that will take you to the roof. Now you will need to hop across the rooftops while swat members try and take you out. Hop on the first roof and plug the 4 below you. Run to the next roof and a few more will drop down. Plug them and grab the parachute from the next roof. Now you are supposed to parachute over to the helipad but I could never make it and landing on the ground and hoping in a car was just so much easier. Grab a car and make your way back to verdant meadows by way of the highway or heading to the airport and stealing a plane. Either way, when you get back to your airport, the mission will end and you will be back at the casino.



A Home in the Hills

Time for another long mission. This time you are headed back to Los Santos to reclaim your city. When the mission starts you’ll be jumping out of a plane with the other crew members and heading for Madd Dogg’s crib. Land on the roof if you can, if not run your way over there. Start taking out all the enemies that appear on the far side and grab the armored vest behind the generators. When the first rush is dead, head down the ramp and enter the house. Now you will just need to kill the enemies as they come forward. Kill everyone in the corridor as the crew take out the side rooms. When you reach the end, you will see big poppa making a break for it. Chase after him through the house and kill all the guards who get in your way and grab the armor and health that you come across. When you make it outside, he ill hop in a car and take off. Jump in the next car and follow him. Now you need to be careful that you don’t flip off the road or lose him. Simply follow him and don’t try to run him off the road just yet. Wait until you get to the small country town and then ram him and drive by his ass all you like since he will do a few laps around the town before heading back out to the highway again. Once he is dead, the mission will end and you will own Madd Dogg’s crib as a safe house.

Vertical Bird

When you return to the mansion and answer the cell phone call, which is actually you calling Ken. Afterwards save and step in to the rd marker there to trigger a scene. It seems Toreno is in need of some more Carl damage and needs you to go down to the shore. Hop in the boat there to grab the knife and pistol and drive out to the yellow blip. When you near it, hop out and swim through the water to enter the large rear door of the ship there. Forward up first flight of stairs and go through door. Head to far end into room to red marker to shut off SAM. Head out and to the right and to the far end where you will see the jets. There will be three of them there. Leave the one on the right that is out side since that will be the one to take. Hop in the jet on the left and drive it forward to the other jet at the far end. Hop out and place a satchel charge. If you don’t have any then just stay back and fire. Blow up the jets there and hop in the remaining one. Now you will need to take off and a jet will follow you.



If you didn’t blow those other two up, there would be three jets following you. To drive the hydra, you need to use the right stick to choose the direction you want to go. Press it forward and you will fly forward normally. Press it back and you will hover in the air. Take of and head for the 4 boats that you need to destroy. Depending how fast you go, you may not have to deal with the jet following you. If you do, use R1 to target and L1 to fire when the target goes red. Use the same targeting technique on the boats, but it is much easier if you just hover above them and fire instead of flying past. Since all four are near each other you can just turn to kill them. After they are toast, fly a short distance to Verdant meadows and land at your airport. Hop out of the plane when you land and then you will be directed to drive the plane into the hanger. Be very careful doing it because blowing up the plane now would just suck. When you get it in the hanger, you will pass the mission and always have it available in the hanger.



Home Coming

After you return to the mansion you’ll have another chat with Toreno and you will get a call from Sweet. Go pick him and you’ll roll back to your mom’s house. When you get there another scene will play and you’ll need to take down three waves of Balla’s that arrive. Keep firing at them moving from target to target and be sure to pick up the life and armor they drop. When the three rushes of enemies are down, then you will need to walk up the street a little bit and kill the 4 or 5 dealers there. Once they are all down, the mission ends.



Cut Throat Business

Head back to the mansion now and enter the red marker to start the mission. Now it seems that good ol’ Jeffrey is out making a rap video and Mad Dogg doesn’t like that too much. Head out side and hop in the buggy with Mad Dogg and head to the yellow blip. When you reach it, a short scene will play and he will hop in a hovercraft. Jump in the next one and follow him out into the lake. Stay close to him but don’t worry about catching him. He will eventually go to a pier and stay there until you catch up, so stay close enough to him that you can take your time to get up the beach and onto the pier there. When you do, you will then hop on a go kart. Mad Dogg will still be with you but don’t worry about him. Again follow OG Loc through the beach and the streets on the cart. Driving the carts is very easy and it even seems that Loc slows down to let you catch up quite frequently. When you finally do catch up with him in Market Station, a scene will play and Loc takes off.

Beat Down on B Dup

Now that Carl’s missions are done, you can head back to Sweets for a scene. Enter the house and a scene with a hoochie and Sweet will play. After it is over, head to B Dup’s place and you will be told that he is over at Glen Park. Head on over there and hop out of the car when you reach it. Take down some Balla’s there to start a street war and again the Balla’s will come at you in three waves. Keep a building to your back so you only have to worry about what’s in front of you. When the three waves are down, you will need to clear out the guards in front of B Dup’s house. Kill them and then enter after you scoop up all the weapons. When you enter, a scene will play and the mission will end.



Grove 4 Life

Head over to Sweets place and after the scene, recruit some gang bangers into your crew and head for Idlewood where the yellow blip is. When you get there, start taking out Balla’s that are purple and start a gang war. After you take down the three waves, you’ll have the territory and need to take down one more. Grab some more recruits from the newly coveted area if you need them and head to the next purple Balla territory. Again start a gang war and take out the enemies as they rush in, in waves. Once you finally have them all defeated, head back to Sweets place and CJ’s missions will open again.



Riot

Before you start this mission, do yourself a favor and take over the Balla’s and Vaggo’s territories until the stats menu tells you that you have over 35% of the city territory. If you wait until after this mission it will be a major pain in the ass to accomplish, which you will see as you start this mission. After you have the 35%, head back to the mansion and start this mission. When you get there, drive from mansion to grove street. Along the way you’ll see the streets going crazy. Cars will be blowing up and people will be looting and killing. When you reach Grove Street, hit the red marker to end the simple mission.



Los Desperados

As this mission starts, grab two gang members and head into the car there. If it’s not there, go grab a four door car and have the two gang members and Cesar hop in the car. When they are in, head west unto you hit the train tracks and follow them south and then west. That way it will take you right to the red marker and you don’t have to worry about attacks too much. When you reach the red marker, step in it to start the scene with Cesar and his goons. Make your way forward after the scene and try to stay ahead of Cesar. He has a nasty habit of getting in your way and having you shoot him dead, or at least I did…a few times. Make your way through the complex killing the crowd of Vaggo’s that appear around each corner. When they are all dead, Cesar will tell you to make your way over to the alley. Head to the yellow blip and the red marker across the street.

When you get here, watch the scene and move forward when it is over. Take out everyone in front of you and turn when Cesar says so. When the next scene plays, you will be at the end of the alley and there will be a few more enemies to take out. These guys are snipers and flamethrowers but nothing special. Don’t move when the scene ends and just start taking the enemies down. Take down the enemy on the roof first and then the flamethrower guy. When the few enemies here are all dead, the mission will end and you will need to go back to Grove Street. When you reach the house, you will get a call from Sweet and he will say that you need to clean up the neighborhood. If you didn’t get the 35% territories, you will have to now with all the looting going on, but you did it already didn’t you? So now you will get another call.



End of the Line

This is it, time to finish this shit. Oops….I meant stuff. I’ve been playing this game too long. Go to Sweets place and he will tell you that Smoke has a crack factory in east Los Santos. Hop in the car and head there and you will see two guards guarding the front door. Now you need to run down the hill, hop through the backyards and grab the SWAT truck. You can easily approach from behind and grab the truck with out any resistance whatsoever. Head back up to the crack factory and crash through the front door where the guards are standing. Run over everyone in the hallway and enter the door at the end.



Floor 1: Security

Enter and make your way through the hall. Kill the Balla’s that appear and continue to the large open warehouse room. Kick open the doors and start to clear out the room using the boxes for cover. Kill the upper floor and head for the open door way on the far side when everyone in here is toast. Make your way through the back hallway and around the corner to come to another flight of stairs. Head up and enter the room on the right for a life heart. Enter the double doors on the left to reach the second floor.



Floor 2: Drug Lab

Head up the stairs to which is actually the 3rd floor (?) and pop a cap in the guy’s ass at the top. Grab the armor there if you need it and then go through the double doors. Kill the enemy there and continue through the double doors on the left. Kill the enemies inside by using the explosive barrels where you can. Clear out the room and head up the stairs at the far end. Go through the doors there and you will come to the stairs to the third floor.

Floor 3: Balla’s Lounge

Head up the stairs and again kill the bouncer to get his vest. Enter the doors and take down the Balla’s in the hallway. Enter the side rooms on each wall to find strippers and a few more enemies. Kill everyone in sight and head through the doors at the end of the hall to come to a set of stairs and the instructions to kill Smoke. Head up the stairs for a cut scene with Smoke and then he will get up and the battle will start. The lights will go out as he starts to run away but you will still be able to see him if you don’t have the NVG’s. Use the manual aim to hit him in the head constantly. Use the big guns for him and his hombres that appear. When you pop him enough times to drop him, he will fall and another scene will play with good ol’ Tenpenny.



After Tenpenny blabs on about you and your work, he’ll blow the generators on the second floor and catch the building on fire. Now you need to head out the door and down to the first floor. When you reach the second floor, the flames will be all over and you will need to use the fire extinguisher to put out the flames in your path. When you enter each room, clear it out of enemies and then use the extinguisher to get through. It’s not an easy trip and the 7:00 time limit doesn’t make it any easier. When you reach the bottom floor, go through the door and a scene will play showing Tenpenny escaping on a fire truck.



When he does, use the convertible and give chase after him. At the start, Tenpenny will start chucking fire balls at you that explode on the road, but they never did seem to do any damage. Not sure if they have to hit dead on or what but they were pretty useless. Continue to follow him through the city and eventually you will see and cop appear on the ladder that will be stepping on Sweets hands. There will be a meter and you have that short amount of time to drive under Sweet to catch him. When he drops in the car, you will then be the gunner and Sweet will drive the car. Now all you need to do is fire at the cops and gang bangers that chase and fire at you like the previous mission way back when, until you see the final ending scene begins! Sweet merciful crap! The game is finally over!
