these are Villalpando is going to be the
first time we meet this character pretty
simple star just run out here grab a car
and head over to the garage you're going
to want to take the storm drain be sure
not to flip your car I like to go off
that corner there kind of avoids any
flippin potential going down this side
can prove to be precarious at times if
you're lucky you can sometimes bail out
at the apex of your jump there if you're
going fast enough but I didn't so I you
know got angry shook my camera little so
just climb up there shoot the fence out
to break it run to the marker grab your
lowrider back into its back to the
garage
pick up your nitrous that's going to be
just go up once in the menu and then you
should be on the nitrous which is at the
bottom of the list and then hit space
four times and you'll buy the nitrous
and you'll buy the flames you'll be able
to get out of there
be sure when going back to the storm
drain not to flip it be very careful
we're slower the better generally that
way you don't risk flipping and activate
your nitrous when down in the storm
drain gets you going real fast and
cruise on up through this route here
into the lowrider meeting spam space a
bunch to just get through the betting
and then there's another cutscene you
can skip right here and then this
minigame normally you're going to want
to score at least 1500 points I like to
score around 1,700 1,800 to be safe hmm
it's pretty easy there's not a whole lot
going on here
if you're fast enough if you're good
enough rather you can get to perfect
really quickly and then if you get
perfect hits while your score is perfect
you'll get five hundred points per arrow
and that will add up really quickly
obviously and then you can spend the
rest of the mini game like you know
stretching standing up go into a grab a
bite to eat or some water even go to the
bathroom if you're feeling a risky if
you're feeling like a risk in it this is
pretty simple though I think the steam
version has issues with this minigame so
I'm playing on 1.0 not even 1.0 one but
just you know the original retail retail
release so and the arrows I never really
have much of a problem with them but I
know some releases the arrows like skip
around or do funky stuff and and that
could obviously cause a headache but
yeah I got up to 2,500 which is more
than more than enough I just spent the
rest of the minigames sitting around
there's no penalty for that or anything
you just all you need to do is make sure
to outscore your opponent sometimes he
doesn't even break a thousand so I'm
surprised that he's actually getting his
score so high that's why I always say
like seventeen to eighteen hundred is
good because I'm pretty sure I failed
this before with like 1500 so you got
1210 there 1220 that's not a bad time or
not a bad score rather I can't skip this
cutscene just let him underhandedly
compliment you that's good for a
beginner and then mission pass you're
going to want to head across the train
tracks here our next destination is the
Caesar mission that's not on the map yet
but if you've kept up with your phone
calls if you've already answered the gym
call then climb up this wall here you
got to get a running jump you can't like
jump against the wall you won't be able
to make it you got to get a running jump
and then I do this little fancy fall off
the roof there to hang up the phone
faster
and that phone call unlocks this mission
again it's important to keep up with
phone calls so that way you know you get
the right phone calls in the right
places I've seen some people answer the
phone call there and it's the gen call
because they've never they never took it
either after running dog or after
drive-by and that can be annoying so you
want to make sure you're on top of your
calls just grab a the nearby voodoo from
the house we answered the call star
Commission and then go around the bend
and this race it's pretty simple nothing
too complicated the the hardest part of
this mission for me is like the the
start because you've got all these
racers clumped up and they can be kind
of unpredictable and depending on the
traffic they can decide to ran into you
or whatever it could be kind of a
headache so I try to get away from them
as quickly as I can and then it's pretty
smooth sailing from there they spawn in
traffic when I can with that camera
flick you don't have to hit the marker
head-on there's actually some leniency
you can just be near the marker and
you'll be able to pick it up
well make sure about to miss any of
course it's kind of hard to but you know
better safe than sorry
pretty simple short race and take you
more than say a minute 20 let's see what
I get here I think I get a 105 106 it's
a very high 105 and here this is the
chili dog you're going to want to get
this when starting out I just recommend
getting the chili dog every time even if
you're helpless for or near full it just
prevents CJ from going hungry and when
CJ goes hungry you can wind up starving
to death and that's no fun
that'll lose you sometime starving to
death so I wouldn't recommend it just
get the chili dog you know the little
fancy spin around get out grab the dog
if if the dude isn't there then turn
your camera away from the chili dog
stand and then look back and he should
be there and then head over to mad dogs
rhymes if you get a bike in this parking
lot that's really good take it
bikes are always preferred for driving
mad dogs rhymes is another notorious
mission for beginners because you can
easily wind up dead and unfortunately
it's kind of a toughy the sliding trick
is very important to get here in mad
dogs rhymes or you can just do intended
strats and fight your way out if that is
your forte cruise on up that hill there
or if you can't make it all the way up
the hill just get out and run the rest
of the way I like to dismount here if I
have it like and then head on into the
crib and run past this guy
well actually stab them then run past
them skip this cutscene just jump when
you're behind the pillow when you're
behind that pillar and then jump across
the pool there skip this cutscene guards
come in
be sure to jump into them and then try
and like jump past and then you
shouldn't take any damage
until you go to pick up the farmer so
pick up the armorer then start sprinting
past this guy he should shoot you a
couple times that's fine pick up the
book and then do this
do the slide spray-paint that guy the
guy on the couch should be firing at you
sometimes they can hit you that's kind
of annoying blast this guy in the face
and then this guy here be sure to get
them he can be kind of a pain I find the
safest way to do that I don't do it in
this run but I find the safest way to
get that guy is to go around his left as
opposed to his right seems much more
consistent in getting him to be sprayed
in the face be sure not to knock over
any of the guards because if you knock
them over they'll stand up really
quickly and start shooting at you again
and that's usually what ends up killing
you so I have decent health here grab
that mountain bike that's near the door
and then just head off down the hill
same way I just did if you see a cop
bike or any sort of bike here you can
try and go for it cop bikes are pretty
good otherwise you can just peddle your
way back to the back to the burger shop
a bike is really good to have because
management issues
it helps helps you save time on that
drive I am really amazed I didn't fall
off my bike there you can just drive
into the marker and then start the next
mission after this cutscene and your
bike should be very close still in the
parking lot so just turn around and
there it is if you don't find a bike you
just grab any two vehicles in the
parking lot there
and then go ahead and make your way
towards your red blip the driver that's
located on the map here when you get
close he's gonna your phone's going to
ring he's going to be leaving the burger
shot so what I like to do when I get a
bike I just always like to park in front
of them riskier strat service to bail
near him and then get in the car but I
like parking in front of them because
that forces them to stop and then just
hold control sorry it for me it's
controlled but hold your sprint button
as you're getting in so that way when
you hijack the car the driver dies it
doesn't cause you any problems you just
like shoot you or anything and then be
sure not to take any damage as you're
driving to that marker and here you're
free to just rear-end this guy just hold
W down and then when you're close to the
ceremony you can just park and wait for
the cutscene to play then skip this
cutscene and now pay very close
attention to the route that I take
because it's imperative to get this
quick mission pass or whatever you want
to call it the strat here you need to
follow this exact route even cutting
through this alley is very important
because you've got to lose the guys that
are chasing you and this is a very
consistent way to do it because if they
see you ditch the car into the river
here they're going to show up and start
shooting you and it's going to be real
pain so yeah that's a very quick way to
pass this mission instead of having to
go all the way to the to the pier and
then just very quickly go back into the
marker for house party a little cutscene
there and then take any car in the slot
here you're going to want to take two
phone calls before you start the next
mission I like to just get up to this
intersection get out of my car here and
to the first one
and then very quickly skip through that
phone call then get back in drive a
little way towards the donut shop where
the next mission is going to be get out
and take that phone call if you get a
bike around here like on the road or
something that's very good like parked
on the road the bike really speeds up
this Drive and it also makes the dudes
at the house very inaccurate there's a
bike right there I'm pretty sure I'm
going to take it yep there we go
so that's pretty convenient pretty much
always worth going for I think if you
have a bike on this road here especially
for survivability because you're able to
conserve more of your health and armor
and that's very good for just business
because the more health you have the
more armor you have on just business the
riskier I like to play it so go ahead
grab the molotovs here be sure not to
get immediately back on your bike be
sure to like stand there for like half a
second so that CJ does pick it up
because you can just get off and then
get back on your bike or back into your
police car or whatever you've got and
you can just not pick them up it's kind
of annoying you got to get out again so
here we go Molotov throws just something
you've got to get a feel for even I
still miss my molotovs every now and
again I ignore everybody here because I
my last vehicle I entered was a bike and
when your last vehicle that you've used
as a bike your AI is very inaccurate so
I just ignore everybody I don't really
get shot that much if I did take a car
I'd shoot at least one guy the guy at
the back of the house and maybe the guy
by the stairs near the back of the house
is he if he's being a pain pull out your
shotgun and slide through here you get
your shotgun from the police bike sorry
the police car outside of the
the dough mops up when you start this
mission you've got to be sure to enter
that vehicle by the way you have to
enter the police car to get the shotgun
so don't forget to do that and then
escort Denise through this house she
could be kind of a pain if you get stuck
on things I make sure to take wide turns
around the corners and everything so
that she's not too hung up and then
whenever she is in this room you can
just leave and she'll come outside with
you as well I generally like to just
take the Voodoo here I don't really
bother with getting into my police car
or get back on my bike or Havana just
the Buddha's right there unless I blew
it up somehow by app or Molotov thro
like I took a lot of damage and has
exploded you know I generally just use
the Voodoo and then nothing too fancy
just skirt right back to her house
sometimes depending on how you can park
here Denise can kind of get stuck and
her pathing will be really poor and
it'll cost you some time so I like the
park as far away from the house as
possible and sometimes I like to spin
the Voodoo around too so that she has a
very short path to her house but if you
park too far onto the sidewalks you can
kind of get stuck and it's a little
annoying because you can cost you a lot
of time and now everyone's favorite
mission wrong side of the tracks just
pull up the big smokes house unity
station and drive off to unity station
be sure to check your ammo here in your
is e if you don't have a lot of ammo
like I have 90 bullets right now it's
pretty good if you even have like less
than 50 even less than 60 maybe I would
vault over the wall on the right-hand
side here there's an SMG behind the wall
just pick it up and use that on this
mission
right and you should have plenty of ammo
all right so just cruise on past all the
Vagos here there's four on the train
right now one of them is going to die
inadvertently by colliding with
something and then there will just be
three for us to kill so just pull up
right here I have a reference point for
this now I line myself up with the
street light all the way over there in
this corner roughly and then I do a very
slow drive onto the train and then I
very quickly just gunned down all three
and spurt very quickly off the train and
heading back to smokes house it's
something I have practiced a ton if I
made it look easy it's because I've put
in so many attempts into that mission
that it's no longer an issue for me at
all um a lot of new people struggle with
it so don't get upset don't get defeated
if you struggle with it you got to find
a reference point that works for you and
you got to play it safe you know I kind
of played it I didn't really play it
yellow because I knew what I was doing
I've done it so many times we could be
getting into some but I was like you
know driving forwards up onto the Vagos
so that I was able to very quickly
dismount the Train but you know just
takes practice really there's nothing I
can say watch the film watch the footage
try to find a good reference point and
you'll be good to go
just business depending on how much help
you have is roughly how risky you'll be
allowed to play this I had a lot of
armour going into this so I played a
pretty risky I very quickly left behind
the wall to gun down some dudes and then
pick up the armor if that is your desire
it's usually pretty good and into this
next section here I kind of played this
pretty sloppy all weekend in the head
sauce but I wanted oh man I really did
play the second half sloppy I mean
there's nothing really too fancy going
on there just go for headshots and stay
alive really that's about it especially
in that first room you can take a lot of
damage the second room is not that bad
everything's a lot closer which sounds a
little more dangerous but you're able to
get head shots off quicker than in the
first room I think there's less
obstacles to be had
and even from afar the AI can be pretty
pretty powerful and once you pass those
two rooms you just get into this
autoscroller there's really not a lot
going on here again like I said I've
said that a lot but really there's
nothing going on here just you know gun
down the dudes that show up stay alive
sometimes you can shoot that gas tank on
that car through the bushes there
there's a couple guys here shoot the gas
tanks blow them all up nothing you can
do literally nothing you can do to speed
up this section your your time on this
mission is all about your drive for one
and those two rooms the corridor
shooting I suppose and this this
autoscroller is just it's kind of a
break I don't pay that close attention
with this mission here there's just one
important thing to note at the end of it
that will be sure to note it but yeah
just gunned down dudes pretty simple I
don't kill drivers here I'll just go
passengers because they're the ones that
are shooting at you drivers don't shoot
at you
so once the passenger has been killed
there's really there's really no threat
going on there
bikes though the driver will still sure
to do so I just killed both the driver
and passenger on bikes there's no point
in shooting the truck the truck is
pretty harmless as well there you go
shoot the passenger there in that car I
just ignore them if you really want you
can just keep shooting cars to booster
like Guzzi skill but I don't really
bother because who's this skill takes a
very long time to level generally
speaking I'll get gangster luzia skill
around the start of this mission like
around the started was always for older
rather so that's pretty nice it really
helps your accuracy
but beyond that is really not a lot
going on just a couple minutes of
Snoozeville
we got bikes honest man pretty easy to
pop their heads off and nullify the
threats with the the mouse the
submission to me you've got a lot more
hectic on ps2 you know but we're on a PC
master-race
so no worries there scripted cutscene
Michael Bay moment boom good stuff these
cars just shoot them once and they'll
blow up literally just one bullet and
they'll blow up this gates alright I
like to gun down these two guys and then
I shoot the gate out and I don't move my
mouse for the rest of the mission and
the reason I do this is so that the bike
for the energy that we use at the end of
this mission spawns because sometimes it
won't be there but if you do this if you
just don't move your mouse after blowing
out that gate a hundred percent
consistency I've never had this fail me
it's always been there so if you have
problems with the NRG D spawning or does
not be in there try out that tactic it's
never failed me later I do it every time
and I can safely confidently go into
this garage here without worried and see
there it is this is going to be the
ceiling grab for the grenades here I
just park it right in the corner to get
on the rear end of it I move forward a
little bit and those seeds they will do
the grab animation there and I listen
for the audio cue of picking up the
grenades that's how I know I've got them
the spike exit yeah I failed at that
time I don't know sometimes you make it
out through there on your bike sometimes
you don't the important thing is that
your bike makes it out
but of course not falling off saves a
couple seconds just don't worry about it
if you do fall off it's fine
next efficient Doberman by the way
answer a phone call in the garage and
you're picking up the grenades you're
going to want to do that because that
will unlock Doberman
lene drives are always important in this
game because falling off your bike can
lose you 10 seconds easily usually more
so and if you fall off your bike a lot
obviously that adds up hum dismount the
bike next to the marker and then get
back on the bike like a half second
later after you've triggered the mission
that's really important because I think
otherwise your bike D spawns so be sure
to get back on the bike after you
trigger the mission during the fade-out
you can skip the cutscene where it's
just outside of the ammunation you can
skip that one little scene but this long
cutscene at Glen Park you cannot skip
and just drive your way over there
you're going to be using a lot of
grenades to kill balls very quickly and
you're going to be standing in a
specific spot to influence their spawns
get off the bike around here look for a
group of three ballers and just tossin
ate at them that'll start a gang war you
have to kill three ballers while on foot
if you only find a group of like two you
can kill them and then like if there's a
ball a car around you can kill the
driver and that will trigger the gang
war stand in that specific spot facing
that direction and throw your grenades
after they've spawn going to be three
waves this spot is what I'm talking
about this is around where I stand to
have them spawn behind me and then when
they when they spawn just run up toss
your nade and killing the one that
survives the explosion a very quick way
to go through these three waves pretty
painless grenade throws can be tricky of
course it's easy to miss grenade throws
sometimes it just makes no sense when
they survive and when they don't
I mean San Andreas for you after the
third wave is dead
pick up health and armor very important
very important you can even do it before
the third wave if you're worried about
your health if you have like really low
health or something just don't
take any chances and then you'll be
stuck in this cutscene here after this
cutscene you're going to kill one more
guy with a grenade throw and then head
off back to the donut shop for grey
imports one of my at least favorite
missions
well not terribly but man when I get a
flat tire on grey imports who I'm not
happy very long cutscene not a lot you
can do here except wait tik-tok you can
skip the cutscene now when he walks out
of the house and then just very quickly
quickly run up toss your nade and back
onto your bike if you're not comfortable
with the nade toss you can of course
just gun him down with your hoozy what
grenade toss is faster you can get
running back to your bike quicker Oh
like spill that's the worst feeling I
was probably not very happy and I was
probably really not happy but there's
only so much you can do
sometimes with traffic
just a quick drive around the corner to
the donut shop here for the next crash
mission be sure to park your bike around
the same spot I did because for some
reason grey imports has a large despawn
zone so if you park too close to the
marker your bike will despawn parking it
in the middle of the road there is
pretty safe and then off to the docks to
drive through the warehouse and run over
the Russian
you're going to take a storm drain for
the second half of this this drive here
slow down a little bit and just gear
right on down to the storm drain take
the first right and then you'll be on
course of the marker so very nice it's a
relaxing Drive I like it it's very very
creative I think to use a storm drain to
get around gun down the keypad there and
just drive as quickly as you can through
this warehouse because you are always at
risk of a tire pop and it's the worst
feeling in the world
I like the gun down these guys I like to
shoot them so that they don't get in my
way so that they pop my time and then
get some speed and run over that guy
it's not easy I used to mess it up all
the time getting the right angle getting
the right speed it's very difficult with
that so like anything it just takes
practice if you get a flat tire I just
get off the bike and then I run around
to the arms dealer and then I just
continue to run through the through the
open compound to the pcj bike that's
there and then I get on that and I run
all over with that and then I park that
in the garage here
