Take any car and go the thief's hideout. However, you should drive around
the block and park your car on the north side of the building first (park
it a little up the road and get in and out of the car three times to maker
sure it stays there). Use a police car, as this won't get stolen. Now
take the moped and return to the pink blip. Follow the thief accross the
roof and let him get in his car (do not jump off the roof before he does!).
Now let them gain a little distance, return to your parked car and follow
them at a distance (this is certainly a slow speed chase). If the car
has disappeared, grab any wheels you can find. The speed won't be of concern
anyway. Keep your distance all the way over to Prawn Island, or the thief
will shoot up your car gradually. Once they get to Prawn Island and make
a right, accelerate up the same road, and the mission will be complete.
If you please, follow the companion in the buggy and waste him to obtain
his Kruger assault rifle.
Alternate ways: Once you get to the North Point Mall, you can
speed up the chase a great deal by driving inside the wall that surrounds
the mall. They can't hit you with their bullets and once you get close
to their vehicle, they'll speed up a great deal.
This mission is largely dependant on whether you can hit the bad guys
from the helicopter or not. However, this is so muych easier on a PC using
the mouse than on the PS2, so be grateful! :-)
Try to hold the mouse still and let the movement of the helicopter target
the bad guys instead by "walking" your bullets accross the ground
until they hit a baddie. Take out all red barrels and vehicles you can
see, as this is very likely to kill one or more bad guys. This should
take you to the spot where Lance drops you off. Sometimes it seems to
take forever before Tommy jumps off the helicopter. You can prevent this
delay if you kneel on the way down.
Run to the front door but see how many guys you can take out inside the
house while still standing outside. Then enter the house and take out
any remaining bad guys. Take the stairs and make a left. Take the next
staircase and finish off the last baddie on top of the stairs. Once this
is done, grab the briefcase on the roof.
Reward: you can now access the entire West side of town.
Bring an assault rifle for this one. You can use the Ruger or pick up
an M4. You can find the M4 around the block just West of Umberto Robina's
café and in between the houses to the South of Auntie Poulet's
house. However, the best thing is if you find at least 60 hidden packages
and pick up a Mini Gun or two at your safehouses.
Go to the Boat Yard and try to take out the bad guys from long distance.
Once you've finished them off, take out the three mechanics inside the
boat yard. Enter the boat yard and go to the switch that lowers the boat.
Now take out the six baddies that will come running into the boat yard.
Once this is done, get into the boat and floor it out of the boat yard.
Make an immediate left and just keep North. Riccardo Diaz's mansion will
be right in front of you. Just push the pedal to the medal heading North
and ignore the police boats. They can't keep up with you anyway. Go full
speed into the pink blip and voila!
Some people find this extremely difficult because the other boats are
in your way, and I guess they're right. However, the trick about making
it to the boat before everybody else is to ignore your competitors and
pick an alternate route! You have a much faster boat than the others,
so ignore the competitors and go around the eastern side of Starfish Island.
Now head North and go around the West side of Leaf Links golf club.
Then take a right and you're practically there (look at the map to plot
your route). If you don't hit anything on the way, you'll easily make
it there before the others.
Now you must shoot your way back. Taking out the shooter in the two boats
is the essential part. The shooter is the one who stands up. Don't worry
about the ones at the rudder, they won't do any harm. Now you'll pass
a jetty. Aim for the barrels! Making one of them explode will take out
two gunmen. It takes great skill to hit them, it has to be said! Now take
out the helicopter that will come up behind your boat. This is much easier
than taking out the shooter in the heli. Finally, take out the shooter
in the boat in front of you. This is easiest if you wait for Lance to
close the distance a little.
A sniper rifle is very handy here. Start by taking out the four creeps
at the main entrance by using the sniper rifle. Then proceed south along
the pools using a mix of the M4 and the submachine gun, as you can't sprint
with the M4 in hand. Taking out everything that moves, run around the
back and get inside the mansion. Once you make it up the stairs to the
first floor (be careful about the guards, there are three in total) run
into the big hall and don't approach the big staircase until you've taken
out everybody guard the room (including those above where you entered
the room). Alternatively, you can go all the way up to the second floor
and enter the hall from there. Now Diaz comes running. Take him out as
soon as possible, because he's a rather good shot. He'll run into his
office once he's had enough unless you pack a mini gun, which is anough
to take him out immediately. Quickly pursue him into the office and finish
him off before he does too much damage. Exit Riccardo Diaz, the scumbag
who crashed your drug deal and landed you in all this trouble in the first
place!
Reward: Riccardo Diaz's Mansion becomes Vercetti Estate. You now
own the coolest babe magnet in Vice City! :-)
