===================
1. Version History
===================
4.0 - May 12, 2003 - More than likely this will be the last time I
update, but for the sake of never being finished, because inevitably
someone will give me more, I won't give it a Final status. Thanks to
everyone who contributed!!!
3.9 - March 27, 2003 - I added many new contributions.
3.8 - March 13, 2003 - I added the K-Chat script, and a couple more
contributions.
3.7 - March 4, 2003 - I added the game script.
3.6 - March 2, 2003 - I added the script for Flash FM and
contributions.
3.5 - March 1, 2003 - I added a script for Emotion 98.3, and I am
looking to get all of them soon. I also added many contributions,
thanks guys keep them coming.
3.4 - February 14, 2003 - Happy Valentine's Day! I updated the
rampages section because so many people e-mailed me on how to get
there, so I did that. Oh yeah, could I forget contributions?
3.3 - February 10, 2003 - Added some more contributions.
3.2 - February 6, 2003 - Added a whole new section on the statistics of
weapons, pretty cool, all thanks to Psy.
3.1 - February 4, 2003 - Updated some more stuff in the Rampages
section, and added some stuff in Unique Jumps. Also added a couple
more contributions.
3.0 - February 2, 2003 - I realized that there will not be a final
version to this FAQ for a LOOONNNG time. Added some new stuff thanks
to THAguyINgta3. I created a new section on my own, I need LOTS of
contributions for this one, please, contribute fun things to do or
challenges.
2.9 - February 1, 2003 - More contributions, they are still coming.
2.8 - January 24, 2003 - I added the last thing my FAQ needed,
information on the rare cars, a new FAQ section, and some last minute
contributions.
2.7 - January 22, 2003 - This should be the last version, and after you
see this, I will not accept any more e-mails. I added the rest of the
vehicle locations.
2.6 - January 20, 2003 - I added some new information in vehicles and
locations. I also got directions for the packages. I will update a
couple more times for contributions and I also need to get the rest of
the locations, maybe some rare cars too.
2.5 - January 17, 2003 - I added information for the Arena, and a new
mini-game is added. Hidden Packages on the to-do list.
2.4 - January 14, 2003 - Added a couple more contributions, I will work
on the Hidden Packages next, specifically the directions to each one.
I also added as many GameShark codes as I could find, due to some
demand.
2.35 - January 2, 2003 - Added some more contributions.
2.3 - January 1, 2003 - Happy New Year! I finished the Hidden

I won't be updating cause it is the holidays, so don't except any fast
updates past this one.

Health, Armor, and Police Bribes in it. Pretty much done with the FAQ,
just need the hidden packages.
2.0 - December 18, 2002 - Finished the neglected characters section
that I forgot about for so long, and I added a glitches section, and
finished that, except that I'm taking contributions for it. I'm having
second thoughts about the map, it would be too complicated and it would
just confuse people. I will try my best to describe its location
anyway.
1.9 - December 16, 2002 - Finished the unique jumps, added some more
contributions, thanks guys. I also did some more stuff in the
Locations section. More stuff coming soon, including those maps I
promised.
1.8 - December 13, 2002 - Did the vehicle stats for the rest of the
vehicles. Also I added a really cool ASCII art at the top, check it

contributions, thanks guys keep them coming.

the odd jobs, I still need to add some stuff about the Arena. I forgot
to mention I added the rampages the last update. My next big task is
to sort out the vehicle stats. Oh, I almost forgot, I got many
contributions again.

1.2 - November 6, 2002 - More corrections and contributions, finished
the main missions, and some of the side missions.
1.1 - November 4, 2002 - Added some corrections, added a section in the
basics, and finished the items. New ASCII art. A big update coming
soon.
1.0 - November 2, 2002 - First version of the FAQ, created mostly all

3. Introduction
================
This is an awesome game. Now I think this game had WAY too much hype
about it, it only has one city! There aren't as many missions and
things to do. It is sort of a mini-version of GTA3, but it is
expanded. You can now fly helicopters; there are more cars, weapons,
characters, and better graphics. While it doesn't have the amount of
gameplay that GTA3 does and it isn't as groundbreaking, it is still a
Grand Theft Auto game and that means it is awesome. Okay, a little
information about e-mail. I'm sorry if I can't answer all of your
questions because I have a busy schedule and I still will try my best
to update this FAQ as much as possible. I probably won't know much
more then my FAQ says, but you are welcome to ask. If I don't know, I
will respond, but I will simply say that I don't know. NO HATE MAILS!
PLEASE READ THE GUIDE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS! I will simply delete
any e-mail that is answered in the FAQ. Just don't do it and we will be
all peachy. Also, DON'T SEND ME SPAM. Please, just don't do it.
NOTE: *This FAQ contains spoilers, so read at your own risk!!*
=================================
4. Basic Controls and Strategies
=================================
This is pretty much all said in the manual, but I will say it here for

~~~~~~~~~~
b. Police
~~~~~~~~~~
Many people consider them as regular police. Well, I am here to prove
you wrong. They are their own gang against you in this game. If you
don't piss them off they don't do anything. But if you do piss them
off, their whole army, literally, will come after you.
-One Star * - This means you have pissed them off slightly. This
occurs if you run into them, kill a person walking on the street; steal
a car right in front of them, nothing big. Get rid of it by hiding, or
just driving around.
-Two Stars ** - This means you either got in trouble and pushed your
luck with the cops, or you ran one over. Running over a cop, and
killing it mind you, will automatically give you 2 stars! Not good,
don't do it unless you want cops on your tail. To get rid of it, get
to the Pay n' Spray or find a police bribe to get it down to one star,
and see above for information on that.
-Three Stars *** - Uh oh. You better start running. Helicopters will
come after you; countless cop cars will fly at you, even roadblocks
will be set up. This is a compilation of things and it only happens
unless you either want it to or for some reason like to run over a lot
of people including cops. GET to a PAY N' SPRAY!
-Four Stars **** - I got just one simple word. Run. In a car though.
Now you will have the SWAT team on your butt and helicopters all around
and cars and enforcers...it is not pretty. Usually you get this if you
shoot a helicopter down. Pay N' Spray anybody?
-Five Stars ***** - Now you are asking for it. Getting this far is
tough anyway, now try to survive. Good luck! Everything except a tank
will after you for whatever horrendous things you have done. You must
get to a Pay N' Spray or you are going to die my friend!
-Six Stars ****** - This is suicide. Now tanks will come after you,
shooting you and trying to run over you. If you know from GTA 3, if
the tank touches you, you will explode! Obviously the missiles will
make you explode also. I highly doubt you will survive. Pay N' Spray
right away. (That rhymed!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c. Asset Properties
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can purchase Asset Properties after Tommy's "Shakedown" mission.
These are places in Vice City you can purchase and gain revenue. There
are many other benefits of this, as well as the fact of getting 100% in
the game. Here are the properties. I have had
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many e-mails about this so I will address it
here since that's where people look I guess. To get the final
missions, you need to buy 5 out of these 8 assets. Then you need to
complete all of their missions. I hope this is clear.
-Boatyard
Cost: $10,000
Location: Viceport
Revenue: Revenue is gained after you complete the mission "Checkpoint
Charlie." Generates a maximum of $2,000 a day.
Benefits: Free boats
-Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory
Cost: $20,000
Location: Little Haiti
Revenue: Complete "Distribution" to get maximum revenue of $3,000.
Benefits: Ice Cream Delivery Missions
-Kaufman Cabs

Location: Little Haiti
Revenue: $5,000 max per day
Benefits: 3 extra Kaufman taxi missions
-Car Showroom
Cost: $50,000
Location: Little Havana
Revenue: $9,000 max per day
Benefits: Pay N' Spray (not free thanks to JRCbase), Save House, 4
garages, and VC racer missions.
More Information: To get more maximum income, you can keep on getting
cars on the list and you also get a new car everytime you complete a
list. (Thanks to Kevin)
-Print Works
Cost: $70,000
Location: Little Haiti
Revenue: $8,000 after missions completed
Benefits: Missions (VERY IMPORTANT! Completing these will allow your
revenue of this place and to complete the main story missions)
-Film Studio
Cost: $60,000
Location: Prawn Island
Revenue: $7,000 max after missions are completed
Benefits: You gain access to the seaplane only when you have had the
studios for more than a week. (Thanks to ACJPaton)
-The Malibu
Cost: $120,000
Location: Vice Point
Revenue: $10,000 max per day
Benefits: Extra Missions. Thanks to Tony Antora for verification.
-Pole Position
Cost: $30,000 ($600 dollars more to gain max revenue)
Location: Ocean Beach
Revenue: After you spend an additional $600 (You have to stay in the
room with the stripper for about 6 minutes because it takes 5 dollars
every 3 seconds remember you have to spend 600, thanks to Brenden
Edwards) $4,000 max per day. If you consistently go in and out of the
first room, the dancers will cycle through multiple dancers, including
the white hat chick, and some girl in red lace (Contributed by Cory
Brown) You don't have to spend the 600 bucks all at once, I was in the
back room for a while and I thought I was in there for the right amount
of time, so I left and it didn't say anything, then I went back in, and
hit x accidentally, then it said I get my revenue. (Thanks to
TimDaQB14)
Benefits: ...I think you know what the benefits are of a strip club.
More Information: If you spend another 1000 bucks there, you will yet
again increase your income there. (Thanks to Kevin)
Some additional tips from nick
------------------------------
Here's a tip you might want to put in your guide, is you own property
like the Vercetti estate or the strip club or anything else that will
make you money, save several times then check the places that will make
you money, it'll have like 10,000 dollars there or more depending how
many times you saved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
d. Non-Asset Properties/Save Houses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are also properties you can buy, but they aren't profitable.
They are used as save points. I think it is pretty cool to have
multiple save points. I will list their price, location, number of
garages/helipads and name.

Leaf Links North Island.
Features: 1 garage

-Skumole Shack
Location: On the rooftop of a building down the street and around the
corner from the Biker Bar.
Features: None

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
e. Robbing Shops
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This I think is awesome. You can rob stores for a little extra cash,
but more importantly, to get closer to that goal of 100% completion.
Watch out though, robbing a store sounds the alarm, and the police. To
rob the store, simply target, don't shoot, the cashier and he will fork
over the dough. The longer you do it, the more cash you get. Shoot
him afterwards to prevent him from sounding the alarm, but the police
will be on the way anyway. There are 15 stores you can knock off, and
I will list their locations.
-Corner Store - Vice Point
-Dispensary Plus - Vice Point
-Jewelry Store #1 - Vice Point
-Gash - North Point Mall
-Music Store - North Point Mall
-Jewelry Store #2 - North Point Mall
-Hardware Store - North Point Mall
-Bunch of Tools - Washington Beach
-Ryton Aide Pharmacy - Little Haiti
-Pharmacy - Downtown
-Jewelry Store #3 - Downtown
-Cafe Robina - Little Havana (Thanks to Caseboy1@aol.com)
-Doughnut Shop - Little Havana
-Laundromat - Little Havana
-Screw This - Little Havana
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
f. Clothes/Outfits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are 10 outfits in the game, and they are needed to beat parts of
the game. You usually get them from completing a mission, but there
are other ways. I will give you the outfit, where you can get it, and
how to get it.

Rewards for getting 100% (Contributed by MadMaxL004@aol.com): I just
completed 100%, useful bit of info - in other guides it doesn't say
this...when u complete 100% u get 3 limos parked outside your mansion,
plus 200 health and armor and 3 body guards, they await in the room to
your left when u come down the stairs from your save point.
(Contributed by Bilbo70000) Vehicles get double health as well. Once
you get 100%, another outfit appears at your mansion, named "Frankie."
It is a white shirt and jeans, and the shirt says "I completed Vice
City and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt." It is located in the upper
room. (Thanks to Jesse Procknow) I have some quick info on the
Frankie outfit you get after getting 100%, in the mid 1980's their was
a band named "Frankie goes to Hollywood", they started printing t-
shirts as a part of their marketing campaign so they wont become a one
hit wonder w/ their song "relax". And on one of their t-shirts its
says on the front "Frankie says" and on the back it says "relax". it
looks exactly like the 100% outfit, but with different words, this
might be why they call it "Frankie". (Thanks to Anthony Taormina)

5. Story
=========
Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long
stretch in maximum security, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his
old boss, Sonny Forelli. They were understandably nervous about his re-
appearance in Liberty City, so a trip down south seemed like a good
idea. But all does not go smoothly upon his arrival in the glamorous,
hedonistic metropolis of Vice City. He's set up and is left with no
money and no merchandise. Sonny wants his money back, but the biker
gangs, Cuban gangsters, and corrupt politicians stand in his way. Most
of Vice City seems to want Tommy dead. His only answer is to fight back
and take over the city himself.
As a major gateway to South America and the Caribbean and attracting
migrants, Vice City is brimming with driverse characters, so there's a
friend for everyone. It is a sociable place and the new guy in town is
sure to meet all manner of friendly people in the sunshine capital of
America. Athletes, pop stars, real estate developers, politicians,
trailer trash, everyone is moving to Vice City to find out what makes
it the number one growth city in America. But, as Tommy quickly finds
out, trust is still the rarest of commodities.
GTA: Vice City is not a sequel to GTA3. It's not a prequel either. Vice
City is it's own game and story. It takes place in Miami, Florida
(nicknamed Vice City) in the 1980s. You play as Tommy Vercetti, a
former low-level mobster for the Forelli brothers, who has recently
been released from an extended sentence in prison. He was busted during
a drug operation and got a 15-year sentence. For not ratting out the
Forellis, Sonny Forelli has rewarded Tommy by sending him to Vice City
to expand the Forelli criminal empire. Tommy's first big deal goes
terribly wrong, and he quickly discovers that he has lost the cash that
the Forellis had entrusted to him for their Vice City crime operations.
Sonny Forelli is not at all happy by this news, and demands that Tommy
get the money back. Through his relationship with Ken Rosenberg, a
shady lawyer with huge connections in the Vice City underworld, Tommy
finds himself a bit of luck. Rosenberg aids Tommy by outfitting him
with a sweet pastel suit and giving him an invitation to a boat party -
one that many big bosses of the Vice City criminal community will be
attending. What happens next has not yet been revealed. It's safe to
say that you will face betrayals and double-crosses as you earn back
the money.

7. Missions Walkthrough
========================
This is what the majority of the FAQ will be about. I will TRY to
update ASAP, but I can't guarantee anything, but I will take questions
about the game. I will know more about the missions and such then it
appears on the FAQ. They are all pretty straight forward, if you have
an alternate way, e-mail it to me and I will post it ASAP.
----------------
a. Ken Robinson
----------------
Mission 1: "AN OLD FRIEND"
Reward: $0
Just take this time to explore if you want and when you're ready, go to
your hotel safe house and talk to Sonny. Then a (L) blip will come on
your radar, follow your way to that to Ken Rosenberg's office and the
first mission, that you do for money anyway.
Mission 2: "THE PARTY"
Reward: $100
All you have to do here is talk to Rosenberg and go get on your new
clothes at Rafael's. Then make your way to the Colonel's yacht. After a
lengthy cut scene you will need to take Cortez's daughter, Mercedes to
"Pole Position", the strip club. After dropping her off you complete
the mission. Oh, and the Soiree Suit is now available as a clothes
change.
Mission 3: "BACK ALLEY BRAWL"
Reward: $200
First go see Kent Paul at the Malibu Club, he will inform you about a
chef. Go meet that chef in an alleyway and slaughter him up. Doing this
is rather easy. Then take his downed Cell-Phone. After that, you will
confront Lance, after a scene, some chef's are chasing you around,
don't bother killing them, just run towards Lance's car and hop in,
wait for Lance to hop in and take off towards AmmuNation. Then return
to your Hotel safe house to complete the mission.
Mission 4: "JURY FURY"
Reward: $400
After you get out of his office, a car will speed past you and hit a
guy, and he drops a hammer. Take the hammer and the car and head
towards one of the yellow blips on you radar.
For the first one, go to the triangle blip and you will see a Sentinel,
but no juror. Use the hammer to smash up the car, and the juror will
come out, see the car and flee. One down.
For the next one, follow the blip to the Ocean Beach Restaurant. Hit
him to make him go into his vehicle, and he will crash into a truck.
Open his door, take him out, and beat him into submission. You can
also just beat up his car and that will do the trick. There is 400
dollars in your pocket. Head back to Rosenberg for his last mission.
Mission 5: "RIOT"
Reward: $1000, Coveralls available at Tooled Up, and Avery Carrington's
missions are available
This is a difficult mission. First head over to Rafael's to change into
overalls. Not much of a strategy can be said, just skill. The easiest
way I found out to do was, drive a car into the gates running over most
the workers, then drive into the back of the lot and hop in one of the
vans on the LEFT and rapidly ram it back and forth into the other van.
One will start flaming and park them next to each other. That will take
2 of the vans out and now head for the third van and drive it out of
the compound area and ram it into walls till it flames. Let it blow and
there, you have it.
Here is an additional strategy from Zany
----------------------------------------
Of course get the overalls and then go to where they are rioting. See
those big box trucks. Well steal one of those that are out on the
street and then drive it into where the riot is. They open the gates
and just let you in. Drive over a lot but not all of the workers. Once
the gates are open the workers will rush the guards. Now get all of the
trucks to the right side. There is a barrel over there u can shoot.
Then run what workers are left won't like u and what guards are left
wont like u but they will be to busy hitting each other to hit you.
Alternate Strategy from Ben Bird
--------------------------------
An easier way to do the 'Riot' mission is as follows: (this is using
the weapon cheat so if you don't want to use it, that's understandable.
First, use one of the three weapons cheats (r1, r2, l1, r2, left, down,
right, up, left, down, down, left is the best in this case). Next go to
the fight scene, kill a few people with a weapon, then blow up the
trucks with the rocket launcher and hey presto, there you have it.
Alternate Strategy from Robert Brown
------------------------------------
I was just reading your guide. It's pretty good. I have an alternate
strategy to the Riot Mission. Very simple. No cheating. All you need is
a pistol and a bat or nightstick. Get your coverall out fit. Go to the
scene. You have to take out 3 of the workers to start the riot. Just
pick a guy in the back and kill him with the bat. Move on to the next
guy etc until the riot starts. AS long as you are in the back you won't
be attacked as the riot rushes forward. You can walk into the gate
untouched once the fighting begins. Target the armed guard when
prompted to do so and take him out. Drive the truck that is on the left
into the empty spot beside the other two. Walk back across the lot and
turn and you can auto target the red barrel. Shoot it. It explodes. All
three trucks explode. At this time most of the workers and guards have
killed one another and you get some easy money a gun pick-ups before
leaving. This is not a difficult mission.
------------------
b. Colonel Cortez
------------------
Mission 1: "TREACHEROUS SWINE"
Reward: $250, Casual Outfit delivered to Gash
This is a fairly easy mission. Cortez has found the person who set you
up. Go to Gonzalez's abode and confront him. Kill his 2 guards first,
and then chase Gonzalez on foot. Once you kill him you will have 2
wanted level stars. Hurry up and get in the Cheetah from the hotel's
parking lot and drive to the Pay 'n' Spray North of you in Vice Point.
After painting the car you complete the mission.
Mission 2:"MALL SHOOTOUT"
Reward: $500
Head to AmmuNation and pick up some body armor and a gun. Then head to
the Washington Mall. When you confront the courier, the SWAT bursts in.
Simply follow the courier out of the mall, avoiding the cops and SWAT.
You will get a Level 2 Wanted Level, so they will be after you. He
will get a vehicle, most likely a motorcycle, and take off. Hop in a
car and ram into him until he wipes out. Then kill the bastard if not
dead and take the chips from him. Before you head back to Cortez, get
to a Pay N' Spray to rid yourself of your wanted level. Get the chips
back to Colonel and get $500.
Alternate Strategy from Brian McElwain
--------------------------------------
In the mission where you have to smash all the windows in the north
point mall the best way to speed things up is to steal the Infernus in
display and go for a joy ride and smashing all ground floor windows in
the process...then shoot out the upper level windows since you cannot
drive up the escalators.
Mission 3:"GUARDIAN ANGELS"
Reward: $1000
This is a difficult mission. First go get the Ruger at the car pack and
meet Lance. You two will go meet Ricardo Diaz and make sure a drug deal
doesn't go bad. When it does, the Haiti will take out Diaz's 2 guards
and start attacking him. Simply pick them off one by one. If you look
behind you, cars and vans will drop more gang members off; try to pick
them off when they are being dropped off. Lance will also yell for
help, just disregard this; the gang never gets him, rarely. If you are
lucky enough, Diaz will survive. After those thugs are dead, 2 Cuban
gang members on Sanchez's will swipe the money. Lance kills one of them
and knocks him off his bike. Run over and grab the bike and follow the
other Cuban through the alleys. Be careful and use you drive by skills
to shoot at him in front of you. Once you knock him off the bike and
kill him, grab the money and take it back to Diaz. Now you have him as
an ally and get your $1000 reward.
----------------
c. Ricardo Diaz
----------------
Mission 1: "THE CHASE"
Reward: $1000
This is another fairly easy mission if you play it safe. Make your way
to the thug's house and look through his window, he will see you. Chase
him to the rooftop and be quick about it. He will fire at you in a cut
scene and that's all. Do not shoot at him. Make your way across the
rooftops and don't fall off the narrow planks. Once he hops in his
getaway vehicle, grab the nearby Faggio. Trail the BF Injection to the
thug's house safely and don't worry about the thug firing at you
though. Just don't get too close. Once you see the thug's hideout the
mission is over and you get $1000.
Mission 2: "PHNOM PEHN '86"
Reward: $2000
In this mission, you need to go back to the hideout that you saw at the
end of the last mission. You get a ride from a helicopter with the
pilot being "Quintin", really an alias for Lance. You will have an M60
(Hell yeah!) and he will stop in mid air by the hideout so you can kill
people. Shoot all the guys in one area, and the driver will move to
the next. Move quickly, the helicopter doesn't have unlimited health
and if the helicopter's health is empty, then you fail the mission. A
very easy way is to ALWAYS shoot the explosive barrels if there are any
because it will help. After you killed all of the guys around the
building, you will be able to enter the building as the helicopter sets
you down by the door. Enter in and shoot right away at those guys.
They can kill you pretty easily and you don't want to mess around with
them. After you killed the guys on both levels, head up the stairs,
kill the guard at the door, and proceed to the rooftop. There you will
find the cash in a briefcase. When you get it, the helicopter will
pick you up again and you will be taken back to the mansion, for a nice
price of $2000 dollars. You can proceed with his missions, but let's
finish Cortez's missions first.
---------------------------
Colonel Cortez (Continued)
---------------------------
Mission 1: "SIR, YES SIR!"
Reward: $2000
Ooh, this is actually really easy. You have to retrieve a tank and
bring it back. So follow the red blip. Once you catch up to it, you
need to block the convoy that is blocking it and snipe out everyone
that you can. Make sure you snipe the turret! After you do that, do
to the driver's side of the Tank, smash it open with a melee weapon,
and man the Tank. The military will then activate the self-destruct
mechanism. That is your queue to get the hell out of there and fast.
Quickly take the tank back to the storage facility to complete the
mission. Time for the last mission for Cortez.
Kobus de Villiers had an alternate way
--------------------------------------
"There is a much easier way to do this. Once you catch up with the
convoy, just jog along on the left side. The convoy will halt at the
doughnut shop for refreshments. The driver goes out, so the tank is
open. Just get in and drive away, it's very close to the garage, so no
problem getting there in time and completing it without a problem."
Here is another method by Justin Miller
---------------------------------------
"Simply drive a vehicle in front of the tank from the left side. The
procession will stop. You get out of your vehicle, jack the tank like
any other vehicle, and drive the tank to the drop spot. There is
really no need to shoot anyone or wait for the army to get doughnuts.
I realize that this is just another way of attaining the same result
but jacking the tank just like any other vehicle in GTAVC seems to me
like the way to go. In keeping with the spirit of GTAVC, I do not
believe that you should ever advise players to wait for someone to
abandon a vehicle in order to steal it ;o) It's yours. Just take it.
Thanks for your time."
Mission 2: "ALL HANDS ON DECK"
Reward: $5000
Lots of money for this one. It is an escort mission, and those are
never easy. But it is by boat, and you will be ambushed on all sides
of the boat. They are the French military trying to get their chips
back. You won't let them will you? You need to kill everyone who
tries to attack the boat. After you kill the boats to the side of you,
there will be a bunch of ships blocking you from the front. Unload on
them also. When the helicopters arrive, you MUST destroy them. If you
don't guys will board the boat FOREVER, until you destroy the
helicopters. Finally, an Apache shows up. Uh oh. This helicopter
will start unloading bullets at the ship. Just keep firing at the ship
and eventually it will come down. There are health and bullets icons
on the upper deck, just in case. If you haven't destroyed all of the
ships blocking the yacht, do that now. Then the colonel will sail
away. $5000 dollars! Yay! That was your last mission for Cortez, I
would suggest doing some side missions and getting some property. But,
I will continue on with the missions.
-------------------------
Ricardo Diaz (Continued)
-------------------------
Mission 1: "THE FASTEST BOAT"
Reward: $4000
In this mission, he wants you to raid a dock to get a new boat that is
supposedly the fastest of all the boats. I wonder why we wants it so
bad...you will see in the next mission. Follow the red blip to the
docks in the far south part of Viceport. The boat is in the air
because of a small crane holding it up. You need to get to the
controls and lower it. Shoot your way in and kill all the guys, and
trigger the switch to lower the boat. There will be more guys on the
way to the boat, and as soon as you enter it, you are greeted with a
three star wanted level. Drive, with your boat, back to Diaz's
mansion, and try to avoid fire from the helicopters and avoid the
police boats. It isn't too difficult. Head into the pink circle to
finish the mission. One more mission for the rich bastard.
I have gotten several e-mails about the door to the boathouse with the
switches for the crane being locked. I don't remember the doors being
locked, so I can't help you guys out. I looked through other people's
walkthroughs and they have the same thing. I don't know what is wrong,
but I will try to find out. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking
about and has the solution PLEASE E-MAIL ME so I can answer these
people's questions.

FYI I got past it thanks for the reply from looking around it appears
to be a glitch in the scripting.... (maybe it is caused by cheats) I
restarted the game no problem... just you just have to start over.
Here is a good solution from Mrmtallica@aol.com
-----------------------------------------------
This is about the "fastest boat mission", my game also had the problem
of the boatyard doors being locked, but I found a resourceful solution.
I don't know why they are locked in the first place, but they were. Get
a helicopter from the place with the garages you buy in downtown (I
don't remember the name) and take the helicopter to the location of the
boat. Land the helicopter on top of the boat and exit the helicopter.
Then you enter the boat and it falls, without the switch being hit.
Problem solved. Hopefully this helps.
Another good solution from Mike07104@aol.com
--------------------------------------------
This is for the "fastest boat mission." I have a better way to get into
the boat. I don't know why but in my game the garage is also locked.
What I did was get behind the cage where the boat is. I got as close as
possible. Then I pressed triangle (to get in car, helicopter, boat,
etc. When I did this it automatically put me in the boat and lowered
it. All I did then was leave.
Mission 2: "SUPPLY & DEMAND"
Reward: $10,000!
Wow! 10,000 bucks! That is awesome. But it is not an easy mission.
You have to go to a coke dealer and the first boat there gets the
deals. That's why you have the fastest boat! This mission is pretty
tricky so be prepared.
Get into the new boat and Lance will join you again. You will race the
others to the point to get the coke. Take the LEFT path, not the
right; the right side has too many narrow passageways. Carefully
navigate through the channels, but go fast enough so you don't lose
your lead. You are faster, so you will have the lead most of the time.
When you reach the coke dealer, you get to use the nice machine gun.
Yes! Immediately shoot at the other boats behind you, or hopefully not
in front of you. After you kill them, or before, Lance will tell you
to shoot the guys on the jetty. Kill them first; they can do some
pretty serious damage to your boat. After that, a helicopter will
come. Shoot that down right away as well, because there is an armed
thug on the 'copter. There is one more boat ahead of to victory! I
don't recommend blowing this one up because it could damage your boat
too. Just kill the guys on the boat. Lance will then drive you back
to the mansion for your $10,000 reward. That's the last of Diaz, now
off to someone new, Tommy Vercetti. Wait you are gonna work for
yourself? Yes, you are.
------------------
d. Tommy Vercetti
------------------
(A note on this section, it will be started by Tommy, then you will be
working under Tommy in Diaz's mansion after the first and second
mission, so you will go to the V in the mansion. They are missions
created by you to take control of Vice City)
Mission 1: "DEATH ROW"
Reward: $0
What??? No money!! BTW, this is Kent Paul for the first mission, and
Kent Paul was an alias so you will see a K on the map for Tommy's
missions. We need to rescue Lance now, Diaz kidnapped him, that
bastard. Be prepared to kick some ass when you get to the alley where
the green blip tells you to go. Kill all the guys to avoid them when
coming back through the alley. Make sure you do that!!! Make sure you
killed the guy on the crane also. Once you leave with Lance, take the
Sentinel because if you don't that same Sentinel will be after you when
you are going to the hospital. There will still be pursuers however in
the form of three Comets filled with enemies, so take the shortest
route the hospital possible to avoid excessive damage from the very
dangerous pursuers. The mission will be complete when you drop Lance
off. This allows you to do the next mission.
Alternate Strategy from Michiel van Heuvelen
--------------------------------------------
After getting my car blown up time after time by Diaz' men from ramming
me, I decided to take the dump truck that is also on the junkyard. Now
you can slowly drive to the hospital en let them ram you. This makes
the end much more easy. The only thing is that you have to drive
slowly, or the truck will be tipped over in the corners.
Alternate Strategy from Andrew Jennings
---------------------------------------
First I got a tank by using the cheat code. Then, when you get to the
junkyard
