Grand Theft Auto 4 Intro
Cutscene: Niko Bellic arrives at Liberty City on a ship. Niko's cousin Roman greets him.
Drive Roman's taxi to Roman's Place, which is located in Hove Beach (on lower right hand corner of the map). When you get there, you quickly find out that Roman's house isn't the the mansion he made it out to be.
Achievement: Off the Boat
Go visit Roman at his Cab Depot. When you get there, a guy named Vlad shows up and tells Roman to pay up the money he owes. Roman schemes to get Vlad's money by winning it at card game. Drive him to the hardware store on Dillon Street, where the card game is taking place. Stay outside and keep a watch out for some Albanians in beige Willard (who are also looking to collect from Roman). As soon as the Albanians arrive, call Roman by pressing up on the D-Pad and A. Lose the Albanians and then go back to Cab Depot.
Tip: Get rid of Roman's car as soon as possible. It handles terribly!
Grand Theft Auto 4 Three's A Crowd
Cutscene: Albanians try to rough Niko and Roman up... but Niko sets them straight.
Go to the Hove Beach Subway Station to pick up Mallorie. When you get to the station, honk your horn to attract her (press L). When Mallorie arrives, she introduces you to her friend, Michelle, who tells you that she'll go out with you if you buy some new clothes. Take Michelle back to her Apartment on Mohawk Ave, and then call Roman. Next, go buy new clothes at Mohawk and Hove. While in the thrift store, press LB to try on clothes, and A to make a purchase. Now that you've got some new duds, give Michelle a call to set up a date.
Just when things are getting interesting, Roman calls and tells you he's in trouble. Go find him at the basketball courts, where he's being beaten up by Bledar and Kalem. Give those two thugs a taste of their own medicine by pressing B to punch, Y to alt. punch and X to kick. After you've knocked them both out, Roman spots another thug, Dardan, who runs off down the street and hops in a car. Chase him! Dardan eventually gets out of his car by a warehouse and runs up a flight of stairs on the left. Follow him up the stairs and then fight him. Dardan has a knife so be careful.
Tip: You can punch Dardan through the window!
Tip: You can disarm enemies by tapping A right as they are attacking
After killing Dardan, drive back to Cab Depot.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Easy Fare
Go to the Cab Depot, where Vlad is waiting for Roman. Apparently, Roman still hasn't payed up, and Vlad wants his money. When Roman arrives, he agrees to do Vlad a few favors in the meantime.
Roman gets a phone call, and then asks you to pick up Jermaine, who is in Rotterdam Hill on Mohawk Ave. Go pick him up. Jermaine hops in the car and asks you to take him to Masterson Street. When you get to the drop off point however, the cops arrive and you have to split. Shake the cops, and then take Jermaine to Gibson St.
Tip: Lose the cops by driving out of the blinking search zone on the radar.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Jamaican Heat
Go back to the Cab Depot, where Roman asks you to pick up a drug dealer named Little Jacob. You can find Little Jacob on Oneidad Ave in the South Slopes (drive North-East from the Depot). When you get there, hit the L button to honk your horn and get Little Jacob's attention. He hops in the car and gives you a gun... you know, just in case things go bad!
Note: Use left/right D-pad to toggle between weapons
Go to the lookout spot on the roof and watch out for enemies. Crouch down to avoid being spotted. When the bad guys arrive, all hell breaks loose and a shoot-out ensues. Take out the two guys down below, and then turn to your left and shoot the guy who bursts through a door above you.
Note: Press LT to lock in on a target, and RT to fire
Grand Theft Auto 4 Bull in a China Shop
Go to Vlad's place, The Comrade's Bar. Vlad will tell you to go visit an old man who owns a china shop and owes Vlad money. He gives you a bat and tells you to teach the old man a lesson.
Go to the china shop on Camden Ave in Duke. Find the brick in the empty lot across the street and pick it up. Throw the brick through the old man's window, and then return to the Comrade's Bar.
Note: Press LB to pick up small objects
Note: Hold LT to auto aim, press RT to throw (hold longer to throw harder)
Grand Theft Auto 4 Concrete Jungle
Go and pick up Little Jacob at his place. Take Little Jacob to the Apartment Block on Saratoga Ave in Willis (drive North-East to get there). When you arrive, Jacob asks you to drive around back to the rear alley and keep watch. Stay in your car. When three guys come running out, hit them with your car.
Tip: It's easier to ram these guys into the walls of the alley, so try and hit them all before they have a chance to get out into the street.
Pick up Jacob and take him to the town house in Meadow's Park. Go to the front door and kick it in, then kill the guy on the stairs. Go to the window on your left and kill another guy. Walk inside the house and kill two guys to your right.
Tip: Walk over the bodies to pick up a shotgun and ammo
Get out quickly before the cops arrive, and take Little Jacob to the Homebrew Cafe.
Go to Comrade's Bar, where Vlad instructs you to knock some sense into a guy who works at the Laundromat on Masterson Street. When you get to the Laundromat, the guy runs out the door and jumps into a van. Follow the guy out the door and hotwire the nearest car by pressing LT or RT repeatedly. Chase the guy down and take care of him...
Tip: Instead of following the van directly, try and cut him off by using the map
Grand Theft Auto 4 Clean Getaway
Go to the Comrade's Bar and receive the mission from Vlad. Then go to the Subway Station and take the train to the EIC stop (Press A to go directly to your destination).
Steal the Silver Blista Compact, and take it to the carwash on Saratoga Avenue. Once the car is clean, drive it to Vlad's Lockup. Park the car in the spot on the right. Call Vlad, and then go back to the Comrade's Bar
Grand Theft Auto 4 Ivan the Not So Terrible
Go to Comrade's Bar and talk to Vlad. He will show you a picture of a man named Mr Faustin, who Vlad says is plotting to rob Roman. Vlad asks you to kill his man, Ivan.
Leave the Comrade's Bar and start driving to Ivan location... when you get close, he will give chase. Follow Ivan to a construction site, and climb up both sets of ladders. Jump off the edge of the platform onto the roof.
When you finally catch up with Ivan, you'll be given the choice to either drop him off the roof, or save him. We killed him, but if you decide to be merciful, some extra side missions will become available to you.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Uncle Vlad
Roman, drunk, complains that Vlad is messing around with his girl Mallorie, so the two of you go and look for Vlad. Follow the map and proceed to Vlad's location, at Comrade's bar.
Tip: Park the car in a strategic position so that you can make a fast getaway. if you park far away from the door, Vlad will be given the advantage. We recommend parking so that if you're staring at the entrance of Comrade's Bar from the outside, the nose of your car should be facing left.
Quickly shoot the two henchmen in the bar before they have a chance to crowd you, and then leave the bar to chase Vlad in a car. The chase is short but can be difficult in traffic. Follow Vlad to the dock and it will cue a cut scene.
Note: There is a baseball bat in the corner by the bar.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Crime and Punishment
Cutscene: Roman tells you that someone is following him, and he is right. Two goons appear and take you hostage. They tie you up in a basement and introduce you to Vlad's employer. You are in debt to him for killing Vlad, but he gives you a chance to make it up to him. He then shoots Roman in the stomach.
You will hear sirens when you come out of the door. To the left you will see a police car responding to a call. When the police get out of the car and enter a building, grab the car... it's a piece of cake.
You then contact dimitri and he tells you to use the squad car to pull over vans and prevent them from making their deliveries for a rival.
Note: The vans will show up as blue nav points on the map. Your sirens can be turned on by pushing in the left analog stick.
The first two vans turn out to be carrying nothing. The third one contains two passengers and the TVs you are searching for. After the TVs are revealed, the passenger will begin shooting at you. Steal the van and escape. You will be given a wanted level of two, and you'll need to lose the wanted level before you can move on. After that, its a simple matter of dropping off the van at the nav point, where Faustin will call you.
Tip: The van is not very maneuverable, so try to pull it over near a paint and spray.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Do You Have Protection?
Go to Faustin's house, where Dimitri will greet you at the front door. He takes you into the living room where Faustin is doing coke and drinking liquor. The two of them argue with each other for a bit and end with a hug.
Give Dimitri a ride to the sex shop. On the way over he tells you that Faustin wanted to kill the sex shop owners for being late on their payments, but Dimitri lets you know he wants to handle the matter peacefully. Dimitri hands you a gun and asks for cover while he confronts the men. You are then required to shoot one of the men in the leg. Next, you and Dimitri leave the sex shop and head for the gun store. Dimitri tells you to purchase the Micro SMG. Head back to Faustin's house and drop off Dimitri. This is an insanely easy mission.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Shadow
Little Jacob tells you of a crew that is selling reefer on his territory without cutting him in. He asks you to see them and make things right. The dealer is located in South Bohan. Cross the bridge to get to the waypoint.
You arrive just as the guy is completing a drug deal. Follow him to his supplier without being detected. If you get to close he'll notice and run ahead but at the same time if he gets too far away you'll lose him. Eventually, the dealer will lead you to a building where you must ascend a few flights of stairs. He will lock himself into a room on the top floor with two associates. Shoot the lock and take out the guys inside. Little Jacob will call afterward and and thank you.
Tip: The micro smg you purchased in the previous mission comes in handy here.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Final Destination
Meet up with Faustin at his bar. Dimitri and Mikhail discuss the heat that the police are putting on them. Mikhail hastily suspects that an associate of Dimitri's has ratted them out. This man's name is Lenny. Faustin then instructs you to go and take him out.
Lenny is located at the train station on Guantanamo Ave. in South Bohan. You will arrive to finds Lenny and his friend talking on the platform. His friend opens fire on you and Lenny crosses the tracks. Immediately two trains show up and you need to get around them fast.
Lenny jets down the stairs and hops into a viper type car. Find a car fast and pursue him. He is not a very good driver so drive smart and try to trap him. Remember that you can fire your gun out the window by using the left bumper. After you kill Lenny, Dimitri calls and warns you of the pending repercussions from your actions.
Meet up at Faustin's house once, where he shows you a picture of his daughter. He instructs you to follow her to firefly island and if you see her boyfriend, to kill him. When you arrive you see Faustin's daughter canoodling with a biker. You confront them, and the biker takes off running.
You are provided with a sport bike to chase after him with. If you let him get too far ahead he will meet up with his gang and you will have to take all of them out before you can continue. If it comes down to a gun fight, stay far from the cluster of bikers because they have poor aim at long range. You will then be able to use the smg to pick them off one at a time.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Little Jacob Car Package Job
Follow the map to the nav point. The car will be parked in an alley. You have until 15:00 to get the car to Beechwood City. Follow the map and enter the garage door at the waypoint.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Roman Car Job
After calling up Roman he tells you that he has a job. Pick up the car and drive towards the waypoint to pick up the customer. When you arrive, the customer will hop in the back. Drop him off in East Island City. You are rewarded for your efforts with a mere $39 cab fare.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Logging On
Roman assigns you the task of visiting an internet cafe and signing up for an email account. Once you get there you will begin using a pc. Click on the web option. Your browser will load to a page with the url: eyefind.info. The eyefind website has tons of areas to browse featuring information on products services available in Liberty City. Activate your email account. Easiest. Mission. Ever
After you leave the internet cafe Roman will call you and tell you that Brucie has a job for you, so head back to the internet cafe and check your email. You receive an email from Brucie, in which he explains that he wants you to steal a Banshee for him. You will be provided with the location (Outlook).
The driver of the Banshee is in the middle of getting a speeding ticket when you find him, so you'll need to steal the Banshee AND evade the police. Good news for you, the Banshee handles like a dream.
Note: Damaging the car lowers the amount of money Brucie will give you for it.
Head to Brucie's lock up and drop off the car. If it's in good condition you will receive over $1000.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Rigged to Blow
Faustin's wife tells you of her troubles, it is a touching moment. Mikhail the bursts into the room and chases his wife out. When you're alone, he tells you to go to an old factory and pick up a truck on the corner of Shottler and Montauk.
Go find the truck and call Faustin. He lets you know that the truck is carrying a bomb, and that you need to park it inside a building on the corner of Guantamo and Windmill.
Take great care in driving this truck! It is very difficult to drive and if damaged it will explode. It is not a good idea to start a car chase while driving this thing.
Once you arrive, park inside the garage and trigger the bomb. The police will be on their way so you'll need to get out of there toot sweet!
Grand Theft Auto 4 Search and Delete
Meet up with Brucie who shows off for a bit but eventually tells you the mission at hand. He wants you to steal a cop car and hack its computer system. Brucie needs the information in the computer to locate an informant he wants to take out before he can testify.
You can summon the police by dialing 911, but be careful how you steal the car, this type of action tends to garner a lot of police attention.
Note: Police cars can not be taken to the pay and spray. Make use of straightaways to evade the police; it is easier loose them by hitting the gas on a long stretch than to by trying to out turn them.
Once you escape the police chase you will talk to Brucie and he will give you the name of the guy he needs killed. This man's name is Lyle Rivas. Search the police database for his information. Then head to Lyle's house.
When you arrive Lyle makes a break for it and you need to track him down. He's a fairly good driver but if you manage to immobilize the car he will attempt to escape by foot. Lyle is an easy target once he gets out of the car... smg is the gun for the job.
Go to pier on Firefly Island and find Dimitri sitting on a bench. Dimitri asks you to kill Faustin.
Go to Faustin's club (drive North). When you get there, Dimitri will send you a text saying that he left some body armor on the side of the club. Go get it. Then arm yourself (we recommend the micro-smg with at least 200 rounds) and go inside the club. Get ready to shoot immediately after the cutscene...
Follow Faustin out into the alley and up onto the roof. Kill him and then walk back through the bar to pick up everyone's ammo.
Note: In general on this mission, shoot quickly and decisively, switching to another enemy as soon as the first one is down. There are many opponents, so it can be easy to get overwhelmed.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Russian Revolution
Note:Make sure you have plenty of ammo and body armor if possible.
Dimitri calls. Pick up Little Jacob, he's got your back on this one. Enter the warehouse, where Dimitri double crosses you... and Mr. Bulgarin, an enemy from the old country, shows up.
Time for a shoot-out! Use the cover wisely. The guy on the top level is an easy one to take out first. From there, guys that try to advance across the warehouse without cover make easy targets. Jacob will advance up the middle, so use his cover fire as best you can. The last two gunmen will make a break for it and then the cops will arrive at the front door.
Use the door for cover and take out the first cop. Slowly advance out the door and use the police cars as cover. Make sure to get out of there before the back up arrives. Lose the cops and take Jacob back to the cafe.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Roman's Sorrow
After the Russian Revolution mission, where you fight Dimitri's men in the warehouse, Roman calls you whispering, requesting that you meet him. When you do, you find him hiding in the trunk of a car. The recent events have really scared him. The two of you drive to his house, only to discover that it is on fire. Roman is sorrowful. You then drive to Roman's taxis depot, which is also on fire. Roman is very sorrowful and worked up.
Head to Mallorie's house in Bohan, which will become the location of your new safehouse.
Grand Theft Auto 4 Escuela of the Streets
Note: Bring a lot of SMG ammo to this mission, at least 200 rounds.
Manny is one of your new contacts since you and Roman moved in with Mallorie, so head over to his place for a mission. When you arrive he's in the process of filming some sort of hip-hop/evangelical music video. Mallorie introduces you, and then Manny explains how he wants you to eliminate drug dealers in an attempt to clean up the streets.
Head over to Grand Boulevard, where the drug dealers are located. You will see the dealer getting into his car. Tail him, but keep a safe distance so as not to "spook" him and end the mission. Stay about six or seven car lengths away from him at all times.
Tip:Watch out for one particularly tricky moment where the dealer disappears around a corner to the right. If you follow to aggressively, you'll run right into to his bumper, where he is stopped at a red light. This will end the mission.
When the dealer arrives at his destination Manny leaves you there and tells you to go inside and kill all of the dealers. The entrance to the warehouse is locked, so use a gun to shoot off the lock and break in.
There is a lot of of cover in this warehouse, so use it liberally. You can methodically enter the building and take them out one or two at a time. After you have killed all of them be sure to loot their bodies, as they leave behind plenty of ammo. When you exit you'll find Manny and his camera man, which triggers a cutscene and ends the mission
Grand Theft Auto 4 Easy as Can Be
You check in with Brucie while he is working out. He wants you to steal the car that Lyle Rivas owned, before you killed him. It is located on Yorktown ave. Follow the locater, or use the waypoint maker on the map to get you there swiftly.
As soon as you get into the car, a cutscene occurs: two goons pull up to the house in a car. This won't be as easy a mission as it first seemed. They chase you and attempt to shoot you with machine guns. Try to avoid damaging the vehicle as you will earn more money based on the condition of the car. To accomplish this, take turns softly, using the L trigger to slow down. Right when they give chase, try and put a lot of distance between you and the enemy, as they are very fast and persistent. Take straight aways at top speed and remain constant. Eventually you will come to Brucie's hideout, which can be difficult to spot, since it blends it with the surroundings. You'll need to pull up to his garage door, and it will open automatically.
Tip: Put a lot of distance between you and the enemy on straightaways
Tip: Drive carefully around turns and avoid hitting other cars. The better the condition of the car, the more money you will earn.
Reward: We were able to earn $3500 after taking numerous gun shots and hitting a pedestrian.
