While visiting Florian, he tells you that someone has been beating him up in the park. Take him to the park and follow him by jogging a ways behind him. Don't get too close or you will frighten the attacker off.
When Florian enters the tunnel, a cutscene will occur in which Florian is attacked with a baseball bat.
The attacker runs up the nearby stairs outside the tunnel on the right and hops on one of the parked scooters. Give chase quickly. If you are not able to shoot him as he rides away, use one of the scooters on the street to follow.
The attacker rides through the park. Keep up with him as he takes some unexpected turns. Once you have an open shot, take it and fire liberally. When he is down, you need to take Florian to Perseus to end the mission.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Late Checkout
Ray Boccino has asked that you eliminate Isaac, two of the other main diamond dealers, and their followers.
Enter the hotel and make your way to the penthouse. The most direct route is to take the elevator and shoot your way in. Be prepared to be shooting immediately after getting off the elevator, as several enemy guards are stationed right at the elevator. Proceed down the hall cautiously if this is the route you select.
You can also access the penthouse via the roof. This is also difficult because the interior stairwell leads to a glass structure on the rooftop, a bad tactical position.
The penthouse is also accessible at the rear of the building near the garbage cans. The window washer's lift will take you directly to the top floor. Fight the four guys on the roof. There is also some body armor located there. After the four on the rooftop have been killed, head down and take out the others. Then execute the diamond thieves.
After you kill the last diamond thief, more guards will enter and you'll have a two-star wanted level. More guards will be on the roof.
Tip: There is one health packet and one body armor in the mission, both of which are very useful.
Grand Theft Auto 4 I'll Take Her
During a visit with Gerry in the correctional facility, he asks you to call Packie. Packie tells you to kidnap Gracie, a rival mobster's daughter.
Her phone number can be accessed at the internet cafe in a car ad she has posted. Click on "autos" and view cars. Gracie is listed in the computer as "mob daughter." Her number will then be in your cell phone. You can call her between 08:00 and 21:00 to arrange to go to her house and take the car for a "test drive."
At a certain point during the test drive, Gracie will determine that you are kidnapping her. She will resist violently, grabbing the steering wheel and trying to flip the car. The main challenge in this mission is maintaining control of the car.
Try to stay in the middle of the road, so if she veers the car off to one side you have time to resist before the car hits a wall and flips.
Once you make it to the safehouse with Gracie, the mission ends and you will get the achievement "Gracefully Taken".
Packie will call and ask you to take a photo of her. Drive to the safehouse, indicated on your map with a stick figure, and take a picture with your phone.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Truck Hustle
Your goal is to steal the truck. Stay crouched behind the car, and take well-timed shots from a safe distance.
Tip: This is a perfect opportunity to use grenades on the enemies surrounding the truck. They are grouped closely together and are a fair distance away.
Once all of the enemies are eliminated, a cutscene will occur. Rapidly push A to jump onto the roof of the truck.
Once on top of the truck, use L to keep your balance when the truck goes around turns. For example, when the truck turns left, push L left and hold it to avoid falling. When the truck is going straight push L forward continuously to try and get as close as you can to the front before the next turn. Stop a few seconds prior to each turn to help keep your balance. If you go forward inch by inch, you will get there in due time.

When you have control over Niko again, make sure to stay well covered.
Note: Protect Packie at any cost. If he dies, the mission fails.
The car there is great for cover. Keep firing, making sure that you hit what your aiming at. Use the auto-aim feature a lot here. All the enemies on the ground should be dead at this point.
Follow Packie to the other side of your location. Continue up the stairs, shooting any enemies you see. There will be four or five enemies on the walkways. Don't rush into things here, use the auto-aim feature to gradually eliminate all the enemies.
Note: There should be a health pack somewhere around here if you need to replenish your health.

Grand Theft Auto 4 One Last Thing
You relax at a bar, when Mr. Pegarino shows up. He wants you to get some heroin for him that he can sell to a buyer some Russians know. The problem is is that Niko will have to work with someone that he has bad history with, Dimitri Rascalov.
At this point the story splits into two missions, one that will evolve around making a lot of money and the other getting revenge. It's up to you to decide which path you want to take. We've decided to get revenge.
Continue onto the mission A Dish Served Cold(Revenge).
Dimitri is on the ship, supervising a shipment. It's time to take him out.
Get to the bridge in order to open the doors to the cargo hold. Use the truck to ram and kill some of the enemies in front of the ship. Then, get out of the truck and keep your distance, killing the remaining enemies.
Tip: It can be a good idea at this point to use the sniper rifle to pick off a few enemies standing in windows inside the ship. They can't hit you, and they are sitting ducks.
Once the coast is clear, head cautiously up the steps into the ship.
Stay right at the top of the steps, and fire to the left. There are a few enemies behind the boxes there. Crouch behind the boxes for cover as you do so.
Tip: Use the sniper rifle at this point to pick off some of the enemies further away down the ship. Again, they are too far away to damage you and the sniper rifle is a good weapon for this.
Proceed onward. The enemies in this area are few and far between, but they jump out suddently, so be cautious.
Keep walking towards the big "No Smoking" sign on the bridge of the ship. When you get to the door of the ship, watch out for remaining enemies to the right of the door waiting to shoot you.
Tip: You may want to throw a grenade into the first room of the bridge, from outside. It's an easy kill.
Tip: In the first room of the bridge, there is a health packet on the table. Grab it.
Make your way through the halls of the ship. Stay hidden behind doorways.
Tip: In one of the rooms off the hall, there is Body Armor. Get this without question.
When you go back outside, on the second floor, watch above you. There is an enemy who will fire straight down at you.
Head into the control room, and operate the controls to open the cargo bay doors. When you leave the control room there will be more enemies out on the ship deck. Eliminate them from the second floor.
Make your way back through the ship halls, where you got the armor before.
Tip: If you need it, the health will have reappeared on the table in the ship's bridge.
The mission ends successfully when Dimitri has been executed.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Out of Commission
Pull up to the old Casino with Little Jacob and Roman. Your mission is to take down Jimmy Pegorino.
Stay crouched and hidden behind the car, auto-aiming and eliminating as many of the enemies in the open area in front of the casino as possible.
Tip: This is a good opportunity to use the rocket launcher, as there are quite a few enemies within a fairly closed-in space.
Once you've picked off a few of the enemies, move onto the ridge on the left. You may have to throw a grenade down into the large group of enemies. Move slowly across the ridge, taking out enemies as you go.
As you approach the door to the Casino, it is best to hover around the entrance, taking out the enemies inside from a safe distance.
Move into the casino. Stay back near the door, and take out the enemies across the room.
Tip: There is a health packet on the left wall of the old Casino.
When you move to the next room, a cutscene occurs. Continue to chase Jimmy. Run outside and quickly kill the two enemies in front of you. This is a dangerous segment because they are very close to you, and can eat up your health if you're not careful.
Continue to follow Jimmy. He will get into a boat, and you'll chase him in a motorcycle. Keep up with him, but take care not to hit the rocks by the water. Keep gunning it until you hit the ramp, triggering the next cutscene where you jump up into the helicopter.
Once in the helicopter, continue to chase Jimmy. Stay close, dodging and weaving the helicopter as you go left to right, to avoid the missiles he shoots at you.
Another custcene occurs, with Jimmy getting out of the boat. When you run after Jimmy on the pier, there will just be two enemies left. Take them out as you run, chase Jimmy into the trees, and the final cutscene occurs. Congrats on beating the game!

After you enter the bar and order drinks, the scene changes, and the date is over. You'll be very drunk, stumbling every which way. The controls become less responsive, and the screen gets blurry while you're drunk. Driving in this condition is challenging. Be careful not to wreck the car with Michelle inside.
When we arrived at Michelle's house, we went ahead and pressed our luck. She turned Niko down, but did give him a kiss goodnight.

This time Michelle cautiously agreed, triggering a cutscene: the camera pans around Michelle's house, while she moans and yells exclamations about how good of a talker you are.
Note: This unlocked the Warm Coffee Achievement
Fourth Date
For the fourth date, we took Michelle to the fast food restaurant. When the date ended, we pressed our luck again, and she accepted trigger a similar cutscene as before. It looks like at this point Michelle is starting to like and trust Niko.
Fifth Date
For the fifth date, we took Michelle to play pool at the pool hall. This trigger the pool minigame. While playing, you use L to line the pool cue left to right, using the virtual path coordinator to help you. When ready, press A to proceed to the next part. You can press X to slow down the movement of the virtual path coordinator, to add finishing touches to your choice. When ready, press R up and down, faster or slower depending on how hard you want to hit the ball.
Michelle ended up winning, but she is beatable. When we arrived back at her house, we pressed our luck and were successful yet again.
Note: Before you can get the mission from Jimmy Pegorino, you must buy a new suit and shoes.
