1.00 - FAQ Introduction
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This FAQ walkthrough was written to help out players who are having difficulty
with the main mission tree in San Andreas which you need to complete in order
to complete the story. It is a written record of my experiences of the missions
which I have passed. It does not represent a definitive method to complete
every method, but it does inform you of a method which works. It's up to you on
whether you want to use it or not. It has been laid out using mission titles
and the rough order in which you encounter them for easy reference.

2.00 - Intro
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After the cops drop you off, hit Triangle and get on the bicycle in front of
you. Hold down X to ride it across town to the CJ marker on your radar, which
leads you back to your old neighborhood. Rapidly tapping X will cycle faster.
Walk into the red marker outside your house, or put your bicycle in the garage
to the left first, if you'd like to retain it.
If you face your house and turn left, you'll see a house with a basketball
court/fence beside it. Go out through the court and turn left, and follow the
fence/wall to the corner, where you'll find a pistol. You can always obtain a
pistol here if you need a weapon.
Also, if you go out through the archway behind the court, then turn and face
the court and climb up onto the wall behind the basketball net, you can turn
to the left and climb onto the roof of Sweet's house and obtain a Tec9. Again,
this weapon will always be found here for you to collect.
You also have $350 in your bank balance. Keep this, it's important. You'll
need it at a later point if you're following this FAQ.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Big Smoke
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
A short video will reunite you with Big Smoke, who mistakes you for an intruder
and tries to burst your pineapple with a baseball bat. He’ll take you across
town to the cemetery to meet your brother.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sweet & Kendl
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You’ll hook up with more of your old gang, but before you can talk about old
times, a gang car attempts a driveby and you’re all forced to flee on bikes.
Get on the bike in front of you and follow the gang as they attempt to flee
the pursuing gang car. This car will attempt to drive alongside you and shoot
at you. You can either follow your gang back losing a little health along the
way, or do what I did and stop, get off the bike and using the pistol obtained
earlier, shoot both of the gang members in the vehicle. If you manage to do
this without dying, you'll get the automatic weapon they were using, which is
quite powerful to have at this early stage of the game.
A short way into the journey across town, you’ll split up. Follow Ryder, the
one with the blue marker over his head. You’ll learn along the way that
holding down L1 and releasing while on a bike will do a small bunny hop. Ride
into the red marker back at home to end the mission.
Award: Respect
You’ll now be free to explore. When you’re done getting lost in the huge new
environment San Andreas has to offer, return to the neighborhood and enter
CJ’s house to continue.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The Johnson House
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You’ll be shown a diskette icon upon entering, for saving your game. Go
upstairs and into your bedroom to change clothes. Since you probably won’t have
been to a clothing store, you’ll not be able to change into new items.
When you’re done, there’s a camera you can pick up in the other room before
going downstairs. Save your game if you need to. On exiting, you’ll be told to
go see Ryder. He only lives down the block so walk or take your bike. You'll
also likely receive a phonecall from Sweet. Press L1 to answer it when you
hear your phone ringing.
Walk into the red marker outside Ryder's house to enter and cue a video
sequence.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.01 - Ryder
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Get in Ryder’s car outside and drive to the barber’s, otherwise known as
Reece’s. Park in the red marker and enter. Sit in the chair as prompted by
walking into the red marker next to the chair, and use the onscreen
instructions to select a suitable haircut/facial appearance. Get a High Fade
for $150 since it's one of the cheapest and looks decent. Exit when you’re done
and rejoin Ryder. Cross the street and enter the Pizza restaurant. Purchase
some food, being careful not to target the cashiers with your weapons. To buy
food, walk into the red marker in front of the counter. Buy 5 "Full Rack" meals
to gain a healthy amount of fat, so you can afford to run around and not lose
muscle later. After your order a meal, Ryder tries to commit armed robbery, but
he’s recognised and you both are forced to flee from the shotgun wielding
cashier outside. Shoot him and take his shotgun, then get in the truck with
Ryder and take him back to the hood. Drive into the red marker to end the
mission.
Award: Respect
Grab a pistol from behind Sweet's house (the one with the basketball court) if
you need to, or the Tec9 from Sweet's roof, and then step into the red marker
outside to visit Sweet.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.02 - Sweet / Tagging Up Turf
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You’ll be sent to spray the gang logo around the hood. Your brother Sweet will
accompany you. Get in his car and drive a short way across town to Idlewood.
Park in the red marker to see a video where you learn about spraying your gang
logo. Use the green icons here to find the second and third gang logos and
then hold down R1 to target them and then Circle to spray over them. Facing
the houses across the the road, you should be looking at the second tag. Run
across and you'll see it to the right of the man sitting on the steps outside
the house. Spray it using the method mentioned previously, and then go down
through the narrow gap between the house and the fence. Run up to the brick
wall at the back and press Square to jump up and climb over it. Turn right and
follow the wall up to near the end of the street to find the third tag. Spray
it and then exit the alley to the left and follow the street back round to
return to Sweet's car. Get back in and drive to the yellow marker on your
radar, which denotes Ballas territory.
When you drive into the red marker at this location, Sweet will leave. Cross
the street to the red walled building and spray the tag here on the corner.
Turn and follow the red wall back up the street, past the painted mural on the
wall and turn right into the alley. You'll see two gang members standing
against the wall near the tag. Ignore the tag for a sec, and kill the two gang
members, since if you spray it now, they will try and kill you. Take their
weapons and ignore the probable Wanted Level you get for their murders and
spray the tag.
Turn right round and run over and climb the chain fence. Run through the drive
thru parking lot and you'll see a red marker across the street outside a
yellow building. Walk into it and you'll be instructed to climb the small
fence in front of you. Do so and then go down the alley and climb the larger
fence at the end. Turn to your left and you'll see a yellow box allowing you
to climb on top and then turning to your left, you can climb up onto the roof.
You'll see a small building on this level if you turn to your right. Go around
the front of it (the side facing the road) and you'll find the last tag. Spray
it and then Sweet will return to collect you. Go around the roof and along to
the end of it so you're over Sweet's car. A small jump and you'll land on it
and lose no health. Climb in and drive down to the end of the street and turn
right. Head over this bridge and back to the hood. Drive into the red marker
to pass the mission. Sweet will give you a small bit of money.
Award: $200
Respect
6/100 Tags
You'll now be able to collect a spray can from the same room in your house as
you saw/collected the camera earlier. You can now also play basketball in the
court next to Sweet's house by pressing Triangle on the orange basketball.
Officer Hernandez will call you after the mission to tell you not to leave
Los Santos.
Save your game if you need to, and top up your supply of Pistol and Tec9 ammo
in the usual spots, then return and see Sweet.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.03 - Cleaning the Hood
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take the Greenwood outside Sweet’s house and go visit B Dup with Ryder. After
an unwelcoming greeting from B Dup and a refusal from Big Bear to come with
you, you return to the street. Check your radar and you'll see the location of
a crack dealer who has been selling to Grove Street gang members. Drive around
to his street and get out of your car. Either beat him up or shoot him. Take
the baseball bat here if you don’t already have a melee weapon. You don't have
to take it to complete the mission.
Facing the road, you can see the dealer's apartment block by turning to your
right, where you'll see the red marker in the distance. Drive over to it with
Ryder, or run to it, whatever you prefer. Enter it through the front door and
you'll have to then beat to death or shoot the three armed Ballas inside.
You can optionally kill everyone in the entire apartment, but it will not
affect the mission outcome. There are also no items to be found in the rest of
the apartment. Bring Ryder back to Sweet's house to end the mission.
Award: Respect
From this point on, it will be assumed that you will collect Pistol and Tec9
ammo and save your game when you need to. Return to see Sweet for more work.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.04 - Drive-Thru
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take the gang to the Cluckin’ Bell Drive Thru, a few streets from the hood,
marked by the yellow marker on your radar to the south. You’ll spot a Ballas
car on its way to the hood for payback as a result of Cleaning the Hood /
Tagging Up Turf. Just trail it, marked by the purple marker over the top of it,
and allow your gang to shoot it until it bursts into flames. Kill the remaining
survivors either by getting out or knocking them down. Take their automatic
weapons by pressing L1 when standing over them, since they are a different type
to the Uzi you're probably carrying, and then return to the hood. Drop the gang
off and then take Big Smoke to his house, to complete the mission.
Award: $200
Respect
Sweet will show you where the gyms are at this point if you answer his phone
call, by pressing L1 when you get the message and a phone ringing sound. At
this point, you can now attempt to complete Section 4.00 of this FAQ, titled
"Made Man", or continue to 2.05 by visiting Sweet for more work. It's a good
idea to complete Made Man now before it gets more violent and harder to do it
later on, and it is written for players completing it at an early stage.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.05 - Nines and AK’s
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take Smoke to Emmet’s house. Follow the instructions to learn some combat
techniques using pistols. Afterwards, take Smoke home. You can now visit
Emmet’s any time to get a gun. You will now have to call at the clothing
store before you can return to the hood for more work. Enter the changing
room inside by visiting the red marker. Buy any item and exit the store
to complete the mission.
Award: Respect
Visit Sweet back at the Grove for more work.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.06 - Drive-By
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After an argument about CJ’s driving, the gang head out. Join them as driver.
Take them to the Ballas territory waypoint. All you have to do here is
repeatedly drive past the 4-6 groups of Ballas to allow the gang to driveby
them. You can assist either by shooting as well or by mounting the sidewalk
and knocking them down.
After the Ballas in the park are killed, you will be at Wanted Level 2. Follow
the new radar marker to the respray shop. Once you’re resprayed, take the gang
back to the hood.
Award: $500
Respect
See Sweet at his house again.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.07 - Sweet’s Girl
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sweet calls you and tells you that he and his girl are pinned down by gang
members, and he’s finished unless you can save him. Grab a car and get to his
location. You should bring plenty of guns and be ready to kill. When you get
there, you’ll see his location surrounded by guys, marked with red arrows.
Whack them all. Make use of the wall opposite to Sweet’s location for cover.
When they’re dead, grab a 4 door car and drive into the red marker. You’ll
now be pursued by a gang member in a car. Let Sweet get off some rounds at him
and he’ll eventually get flat tyres and crash. Bring Sweet back to the hood.
Award: Respect
Once again, go to Sweet for more work.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.08 - Cesar Vialpando
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Grab a vehicle and head to the garage in Willowfield, marked on your radar.
You’ll get a Lowrider from the mechanic, and you’ll be prompted to enter the
mod garage. Reverse in and mess with the car if you choose. Afterwards, drive
to the lowrider meeting on your radar.
Use the right analog stick to keep in time with the music by pushing in the
direction indicated when the arrow passes under the circle. This is relatively
easy, so bet all your money to earn a decent packet on the outside of the
mission. If you bet the maximum, you’ll walk away with $2000 and completion
will also add the opportunity to enter lowrider races by visiting the waypoint
on the radar.
Award: Completion of Sweet Jobs
$Dependant on Bet Made
Respect
If you haven’t eaten for a while, take the opportunity to do so on the way
home. This marks the end of working for your brother Sweet. Ryder now wants
to see you at the end of the block.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.09 - Home Invasion
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You have 8:00 to get to the house and steal the guns. Get in the truck outside
with Ryder and drive as fast as you can to the location. Once you get there,
you have to go in alone. To steal the crates of guns, crouch by pressing L3
and find a crate (green arrow). Press Triangle to lift it and then quietly walk
to the door and outside, press Triangle to throw it into the truck. You need
to get at least 3 to pass the mission. There’s at least 5. Getting extra does
not change the outcome, since there is no wage to be earned for helping Ryder.
Once you have 3 or more, get in, and the timer will stop. Drive to the lockup
to complete the mission.
Award: Respect
Head back to Ryder's house.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.10 - Catalyst
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This is quite a fun mission. Officer Tenpenny will tell you about a train
coming into the station with some goods you may be interested in. Take Ryder
and his truck to the station. Kill all the gang members here trying to rob it,
and then kill the Ballas who turn up afterwards in the car to the east. Head
to the marker at the rear of the train when you're done. The train will leave
the station at this point with you on the back. Use L1 to throw the crates to
Ryder. The best way to successfully get them into his hand is to aim slightly
above his head. Once you get back in the car, drive to the nearby Pay and
Spray asap, as you’ll be at Wanted Level 3. Take the crates back to the hood.
Award: Respect
Ryder has more work for you.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.11 - Robbing Uncle Sam
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take Ryder’s removal van to the docks. Once you arrive, hop over the wall and
kill the 2-3 guards in the immediate vicinity. Shoot the control panel next to
the gate to let Ryder in. Repeat for the warehouse door. Inside, kill the two
soldiers, then use the forklift to load 6 crates into the van. Pushing the
analog stick controls the forks. Lift a crate up, then carefully drive it into
the back of the van. When Ryder is being attacked, stop what you're doing and
help him, as he needs to be kept alive as well for mission success.
Once you’re loaded up, flee to the lockup. You can press L3 to have Ryder toss
crates at the army in pursuit to try and blow them up. The lockup is where
you learnt how to use pistols in "Nines and AKs".
Award: Completion of Ryder Jobs

If you followed 4.00 "Made Man", buy the cheap house right outside this alley
and save your game, otherwise return to Grove Street.
Next up are the Big Smoke missions.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.12 - OG Loc
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Hop in the car at Big Smoke’s house and drive to the police precinct to pick up
OG Loc. Take the gang to Freddy’s house. Accompany OG to the top of the stairs
and ring the doorbell. Freddy will bolt on a PCJ-600. Take the other one and
give pursuit. After a very difficult race across town, you'll reach the railway
track near Grove Street. Freddy gets off his bike just after this bit so be
ready to get off and kill him.
Take OG to his job, quite a distance away on the other side of town. He will
now offer missions.
Award: Respect
Save your game at this point before returning to Big Smoke.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.13 - Running Dog
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Get in Big Smoke’s car and drive him to the meeting point, calling with Emmet
if you need a gun. After a video sequence that results in a dealer fleeing for
his life, you are tasked with hunting him down. This mission’s a walkover if
you’ve maxed out your stamina bar since you can easily sprint after him. Gun
him down when you reach him. He drops plenty of cash when he dies so make
sure to grab it too if you're short.
Award: Respect
Head back to Big Smoke's for more work.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.14 - Wrong Side of the Tracks
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take Big Smoke to the nearby train station. This mission’s quite simple. Hop on
the waiting Sanchez with Big Smoke and keep up alongside the front train
carriage, just off to the right of it, so Big Smoke can shoot the 4 gang
members. If you keep to the right of the parallel track, you can avoid any
obstacles the game will throw at you, including an oncoming train and a
roadblock. You should have killed all 4 by the time you’ve passed the sweeping
mountain road. Return Big Smoke to his house.
Award: Respect
Big Smoke has one final job for you.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
2.15 - Just Business
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take Smoke to the mall downtown. Inside, kill all the gang members around the
fountain and up on the balconies around it. There's some body armor to be had
against the back wall behind the low white wall. Grab the mountains of cash,
pistol and MP5 ammo and then rejoin Big Smoke. Outside, kill the 5-6 around
the exit and then Smoke will take you out of there on the back of a PCJ-600.
Use the left or right analog stick to control the crosshair and shoot all of
the pursuing gang members. This section is quite difficult. Shoot the
pursuing members as quickly as possible. The longer they remain alive, the
more health you lose. The best tactic is to kill the driver, which will in
turn cause the vehicle to crash. Shoot out the wheels of the large truck, but
otherwise ignore it, it will have little effect on you.
At the first roadblock, blow up the vehicles to kill all of the men
surrounding them. You'll head into the flood drains where you'll be rejoined
by several motorbikes, cars and the large truck again. Keep the motorbikes
off your tail since they are devastating to your health. After a spectacular
jump over the main roadblock in the flood drains, you'll enter the sewer
tunnels. The mission ends just after the sewer tunnel section.

Go to OG Loc from this point onwards. His first job will only be available
between 22:00 and 6:00.

2.16 - Life’s A Beach
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Attend the beach party. This mission’s a bit like Cesar Vialpando. Hit the
buttons in sequence as they pass under the circle in order to dance. The key
here is to watch the button patterns, not CJ. Gain over 4000 points to pass
the challenge, then steal the sound van and take it back to the lockup. As you
drive off, you’ll be shot at and pursued by cars if you hang around, so just
be aware of that. The doors are swinging open, but you can close them by
handbraking round corners. The lockup isn’t far away from the beach.
Award: Respect
Head back to OG Loc's work to receive another job.

2.17 - Madd Dogg’s Rhymes
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Go to Madd Dogg’s mansion, which is located up in the back hills. It can be
quite difficult to reach due to the way the road network is laid out, so plan
your route by pressing Start and studying the map. I found a BMX the best
vehicle to easily reach the mansion, by cycling up one of the large hills to
reach the road the mansion is on. Enter through the door around the back.
You can reach it by going down the driveway a bit, then climbing over the
wall to the left and making your way around the front and up the ramp onto
the roof. Go across the roof towards the marker and then jump off to the
right onto the rooftop. From here, you can then jump over the other balcony
to reach the back door and enter.
This mission is based on Manhunt, whereby you must infiltrate the recording
studio using stealth. Crouch and move amongst the shadows. You can kill by
moving up behind a guard and pressing circle to stab him in the neck. Most of
this mission will be directed by instruction. In cases where it is not,
continue to move toward the green dot on the radar, which is the songbook.
The first guard will have his back to you. Kill him and move into the next
area, which is a large pool. Follow the guard around and move into the room
with two doorways. Duck into the dark room before the approaching guard spots
you, then kill him using stealth. Return to the pool room and kill the pool
guard, then backtrack to the room with two doors and take the one the guard
came out of.
Follow the corridor around to the bar area. Crouch down and creep past the
bartender, then sneak in and kill him. Ignore the guard playing the console
in the TV room and continue onwards. There’s some body armor in the dark room
on the left. Collect it and continue out through the other door in this room.
You’ll emerge right behind a guard who is facing the recording studio door.
Use stealth to kill him and then collect the book just inside the door.
This will now allow you to use weapons, but it will also cue the entry of
many guards into the mansion. Quickly run back into the dark room across the
hall and wait for the patrolling guard. Stealth kill him as he passes your
door and take his silenced pistol by pressing L1. Around at the TV room,
there is now a guard at the doorway. Shoot him carefully in the head and if
successful, you wont have to run anywhere. If you see the red marker in the
next room moving quickly to you, run and hide in the shadows for a bit,
otherwise, enter and kill the guard sitting on the couch using the knife
and take his ammo.
The bar area has another bartender. Sneak along the bar to the door, and
then stand up and shoot the bartender in the back of the head with manual
aim. Run around into the bar and collect his ammo, then head back towards
the corridor leading to the pool. There’s a guard patrolling here who’s
difficult to get rid of using stealth due to the lack of shadows, so just
shoot him face to face. 3 rounds should do it, grab his ammo when he goes
down.
Switch back to the knife for the last guy at the pool, and knife him as he
walks past your door, then exit the mansion. There’s a handy mountain bike
right outside the door when you exit – make use of it and bring the book
to OG Loc back at the Burger Shot restaurant.
Award: Respect
Officer Tenpenny will call after this mission, wanting to see you. Answer
the call with L1. Go see OG Loc again, between 12:00 and 5:00.

2.18 - Management Issues
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Scipio, Madd Dogg’s manager, is spreading lies about OG to ruin his popularity.
His driver is eating at a Burger Shot on the other side of town. Go there and
steal his car. You’ll probably receive a call from OG enroute, saying that the
driver may be driving around town when you get there. It will indicate that you
must damage the vehicle to force the driver out, but on my attempt, it was
possible just to pull the driver out like any other car. I was however told to
repair it, probably due to him shooting at me as I drove off.
You may find it extremely useful to visit Transfender, which is the car
modification garage to the right of the repair garage in this area. Park
outside it facing the door and it will open to let you in. Fit nitros to the
car to give you a speed advantage near the end of the mission.
Whether or not you need to repair, you’ll be told to meet the other drivers
before 10:00pm. Drive to the meeting point on your radar without damaging the
car. Park the same way as the other cars and a video will play. Remain in the
middle of the 3 car motorcade and park outside the ceremony when prompted.
Scipio will get in along with his girlfriend. Break the motorcade formation
and take them to the pier on your radar and drive the car off the end,
pressing Triangle to bail out at the last moment. If you’re seen by the
drivers of the pursuing cars, kill the witnesses when prompted.
Award: Respect
Return to see OG Loc, to find he’s been fired from Burger Shot, but wants to
organise a party. Get a new haircut and some new clothes, then get to OG’s
house. There’s a barber shop right beside the Burger Shot OG used to work at,
so get your haircut there. If you check your map, you’ll see a sports
clothing store (white shirt) to the northwest of Burger Shot. Pick up some
new clothes there.
OG lives back on Grove Street (the hood), so head over there. At 8pm you’ll
get a call. Answer it and OG will tell you to come over. Save your game
before doing so, as the mission is quite difficult.

2.19 - House Party
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Ballas are invading Grove Street to try and take it. Grab the automatic weapon
and help your gang defend. You can quickly switch targets using L2 and R2.
Once you’ve killed the group who came in cars, some try to take you out from
the bridge above Grove Street. Kill them, and then a large force will attack
from both sides of the hood. It’s a good idea throughout this conflict to grab
weapons and money, since they are available here from dead members in
abundance.

2.20 - Burning Desire
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Go collect Tenpenny’s stock of Molotov cocktails, marked on the radar as a
green icon. They’re a fair distance away, God only knows why he couldn’t have
just handed them to you in the donut store, with him being crooked. Collect
the cocktails, then go to the yellow gang house. To torch it, break the windows
either with weapons or a cocktail. You must throw a cocktail through 5 of the
downstairs windows to burn the house down. Holding Circle down determines how
hard/far you throw the cocktail. You shouldn’t hold it for long to throw them
through the windows if you’re any way close. You'll also need to kill the
6-10 guards around the proximity of the building.
A girl becomes trapped upstairs, so you will have to enter the house to save
her. Make your way to the back of the house, collecting the extinguisher in
the kitchen on your way up. The stairs are in the top left corner. Make your
way to the girl (blue icon) upstairs. Use the extinguisher by holding R1 and
moving the analog stick left or right to aim. Hold down circle to extinguish.
Once you rescue her, the building starts to collapse. Lead her out,
extinguishing fires which block your route. You agree to accompany her home
afterwards, after learning that she knows you and lives just behind Grove
Street.
Denise will now become your first girlfriend. You can take her on a date by
visiting her house. You will probably also receive a call from Sweet at the
end of this mission, if you’ve been following this FAQ, instructing you that
you need to get a gun. Head for the S on the map, near Tenpenny’s location.

This will introduce you to Ammu-Nation, the GTA gunstore chain, as well as the
concept of capturing territories. Arm up in the store, then go to Glen Park.
Find a group of Ballas, and wipe them out, to initiate a gang war. Purple
markers will indicate approaching Ballas. Wipe them all out. They will come in
waves. There are three waves. Survive all three to win the park.
Learn the concept of controlling territory with the messages that follow, then
kill the informant when he tries to flee, to pass the mission. At this point,
you shouldn't worry about the Territory Wars. Just go see Officer Tenpenny.

2.22 - Gray Imports
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Head down to the docks on Tenpenny’s instruction to see what the fuss is about.
Fight your way into the yard and over to the control panel in the video. Shoot
it like you did in Robbing Uncle Sam, and make your way in. There's some body
armor on the black colored platform to the right of the entrance if you need
it. Just jump up to climb onto the ledge and collect it. Head inside, killing
the two guards who come running out as the shutter opens. There’s another
couple of guards around the corner, and as the route breaks off left, go right
and you’ll find a heart. Continue round to the left, killing as you go. You
can make use of the strafe technique here (R1 + left analog stick while
standing) to step out and shoot barrels to instantly kill guards.
When you get to the bit where the room opens up, use manual aim to take out
the two guards ahead on the walkways, then manual aim again and hit the
barrel on the left to knock out the guard close to you. The two on the right
can be killed by using manual aim to shoot out the chains holding the huge
crate suspended over their heads. Head up into the room where you caused the
devastation. Hiding behind the wall here, you’ll be able to headshot the
guards on the other side, and then collect their weapons and cash and
continue upstairs.
There’s two more guards in the office dead ahead of you. Kill them and then
go to the left of the door and look in to the right without going in. You’ll
see the Russian arms dealer. What I did here was to use manual aim and put a
clip of AK rounds in his head from the door, then when I went in, he was
already at red health, so a few rounds finished him before he could run
anywhere, to pass the mission. Take the back door of the office for a quick
exit down into the yard, where there’s a forklift if you need it, to get
back to the main road.

2.23 - Los Sepulcros
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Recruit a small gang of 2 men from the hood, using R1 to target them, then push
Up on the directional pad to ask them to join you. Get in the car and within
4:00, get to the destination on the radar, before Kane arrives there first.
It’s a fair drive so don’t drive slowly, but you should make it quite
comfortably. Jump the wall when you arrive and rejoin Sweet.
This mission’s quite easy if you’re wearing body armor. Run along the left
wall, don’t worry about your gang, they’re useless anyway. Kill the 3-4 gang
members here and then pursue the leader, marked by a red arrow. Don’t let him
out of the cemetery. Once he’s dead, sweep for remaining gang members and then
rejoin Sweet and head home.
I was Wanted Level 2 after this, so check your map and head for the respray
just up from the cemetery, next to a branch of Transfender.

If you don't have Sweet still as an employer, the only employer left for you
is a race run by Cesar Vialpando. Get a lowrider (looks like a Cadillac) and
modify it using the mechanic’s place from the Cesar Vialpando mission, then
go to CV’s place. He’s located just northeast of the Los Santos International
Airport. For my entry, I modified a Remington.

2.24 - High Stakes, Low-Rider
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Not many ways to write a solution to a race. Just make sure you have a lowrider
you can control with some NOS (nitrous oxide) for emergency use only. Get to
know the route by trying the race a couple of times and then on your proper
attempt, race carefully around it, letting the other gang members crash into
each other and other vehicles and obstacles. In the event that you find taking
over one difficult, shoot out his tyres using L2/R2 and Circle.
The last stage of the race is a giant race down the pier, so once you turn
onto it, move into the right hand lane and pop the nos to take 1st place and
$1000.

2.25 - Reuniting the Families
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Take your gang down to the meeting at the hotel. The SA SWAT will raid the
site, so immediately dash inside the doorway to your left. Go upstairs and be
ready to kill the SWAT member who rolls out of the doorway. Enter the corridor
and kill the 3 who burst out of the wall midway down. Enter the first room on
the left and for God knows what reason, get a kiss off a scantily clad
sympathiser. At the end of the corridor, kill the two SWAT who abseil in
behind the Grove Street gang, then help them kill the 3 SWAT to the right.
Grab the body armor hidden upstairs, then go back down and make your way down
around this corridor, killing SWAT as you go. Move slowly and strategically,
using all the techniques you’ve learnt so far.
You’ll find Sweet once you get around to the blue marker. Reunite and go to
the rooftop with him, where you’ll have to kill 4-5 SWAT onboard a helicopter
above the hotel. Once you accomplish this, use manual aim to shoot the chopper
til it either reports that it is in difficulty or blows up (or both), then
rejoin Sweet and follow him across the rooftop. He’ll lead you down to the
street where you’ll be collected by Smoke and Ryder again.
In techniques used in previous missions, you’ll have to man the guns as the
gang attempt to flee. Shoot everything that moves and watch out for
motorcycle cops who leap onto the car. The mission ends shortly after you
first meet them.
Award: Respect
Run back to the hood or take a vehicle. Grab whatever income your

Cesar will call right after you step out of Sweet’s house. Go to where he wants
to meet you, under the freeway. There’s a Bravura parked in the dark alleyway
around to the right. Watch the shocking video, and then race across town to
save Sweet from the ambush. When you get there, ram as many as you can and bail
out of your car before it explodes. Kill the remaining gang members and go to a
dying Sweet’s aid. Kill more Ballas until the cops show. The best technique
here is to let them get into position, then move around behind them and wipe
them out while they fight your friends. Backup will arrive in the form of a
van loaded with Ballas, and a car full of Ballas which circles the battle.
You’ll be arrested and taken out of town by Tenpenny when the battle is over.
This ends your time in Los Santos.

Check your map to see the location of the mountain trail. Use the Sanchez right
next to you to get there. Continue up the mountain trail to the log cabin,
checking your map regularly to ensure you use the correct route.
When you reach the cabin, kill 2-3 feds, to cause the informant to flee. Grab
the Sanchez outside the cabin to pursue him, and shoot his car until it
catches fire. Retire to a safe distance and once it blows up, chase down the
informant and kill him. Photograph his corpse and brin the camera to the new
marker on your radar.
You’ll receive two phonecalls after this mission. Answer both and head to the

Get in the truck and attach the tanker. You’ll be pursued by the two guys from
the station. The tactic I used here was to immediately jump out of the cab,
and then run round the back of the filling station and climb onto the roof
using the low wall at the back to jump and grab it and pull myself up. This is
an excellent vantage point to use to safely blow the car up when it's away
from the tanker. Return to the tanker and bring it out of town to the depot.
You’ll receive a mysterious phonecall after this.

Grab a vehicle outside Truth’s motel and stock up at the Ammu-Nation in town,
then go to the farm across the river. You’ll be briefed on the people working
on the farm, who will kill you if you trespass. Move towards the farm buildings
and be ready to manually shoot the tractor drivers who approach you, in the
head. Take their weaponry (shotgun and 2-3 shovels) and continue towards the
blue marker.
Just past the main farmhouse, you’ll encounter more farm workers on foot.
Either knock them down or shoot them. In the main field, kill several workers
armed with shovels and shotguns, then take the combine harvester.
Run over all the farm workers who show up in force to stop you. When you reach
the main road, you’ll be chased by a pickup truck with a worker in the back
armed with a rifle. Stop and get out and use manual aim to take out the worker,
then take the combine harvester to the farm marked on the radar. Don’t drive
off the cliff, the harvester will be destroyed.
You’ll receive a call from Cesar who’s on his way to Angel Pine to hook up
with you and get Kendl to safety. If you collected a rifle at the farm, you
can now buy it at Ammu-Nation. You can also purchase Remote Explosives in the
Thrown section. Arm up with whatever armor/ammo you lost during Body Harvest
