Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 100% Completion Guide Authored by VampireHorde ************************* INTRODUCTION ************************* Thanks for clicking on the FAQ. After so many sleepless nights and days (and a full-time job and classes), I finally accomplished the inevitable by achieving 100% in GTA: San Andreas. It took me over 40 hours just to finish the main and side missions, another 20 just for the Non-story missions (and another 10 just messing around with the goddamn Po-lice). This guide will reveal EVERY Main, Side, and Non-story mission in the game. I will also give critical tips for most (not all) missions. Any missions I leave blank are as simple to understand and don't need my explanation. **This is NOT a step-by-step checklist! I encourage you to do any mission in whatever order you like (but be sure that you do them all). This guide was NOT derived from anybody else. All info is directly from my long-ass hours of playing this game. Yes, I have a life but that's no excuse to half-ass this game. ************************ --EARLY CJ MISSIONS-- ************************ There's no need for me to explain anything here. IN THE BEGINNING BIG SMOKE RYDER TIP: Choose the afro. *********************** --SWEET MISSIONS-- *********************** TAGGING UP TURF TIP: You'll need to look around for the other two tags (they won't be indicated on the map for some reason). CLEANING THE HOOD TIP: Use a Pistol instead of the knife to cap the crack dealer. DRIVE-THRU TIP: Stick to driving the car only. Let Sweet and the boys do the work. If you try to help in the drive-by, there's a possibility that the Balla cars you're shooting may explode too soon and cause yours too explode too. NINES AND AKS DRIVE-BY TIPS: NOW join the gang when doing the drive-bys. Since there are no cars around (to damage your car), help the boys with the shooting. SWEET'S GIRL CESAR VIALPANDO TIP: The timing on this mini-game is super strict! Focus on the beats and use the Right Analog Stick. DOBERMAN TIP: Be sure to pick up the weapons the Ballas drop during each wave. LOS SEPULCROS (This mission is only available after you acquire enough territory in East Los Santos) REUNITING THE FAMILIES TIP: When Smoke arrives in the car with Ryder, you'll begin shooting cops in first-person. Shoot the cop car's windows so that you can directly kill the driver. GREEN SABRE These missions open up after the "HOMECOMING" mission: BEAT DOWN ON B-DUP TIP: Follow my suggestions from the "DOBERMAN" missions and you should be fine. GROVE 4 LIFE TIP: Same as above. LOS DESPERADOS TIP: Take cover as soon as you reach Cesar's house. There's a puto punk on the roof with a goddamn Rocket Launcher. END OF THE LINE *********************** --RYDER MISSIONS-- *********************** HOME INVASION TIP: Take your time when hauling the stuff outside. Rush yourself and you'll fail the mission. CATALYST TIP: When flinging crates simply aim the reticle on Ryder's face or body and then press L1. ROBBING UNCLE SAM TIP: Focus on hauling the stuff in the forklift to the truck and let Ryder do the shooting. But if his health gets low, help him out! *********************** --BIG SMOKE MISSIONS-- *********************** OG LOC TIP: Try to gun down Freddy from his bike to save time. Otherwise just follow him until he dismounts. RUNNING DOG TIP: Rapidly tap the Run button to catch up with the dealer and cap him! WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS TIP: Try to stay in the middle of the tracks and focus on getting to the front. Let Smoke do the shooting and watch out for the train on the opposite side! JUST BUSINESS TIP #1: Focus on shooting the guys on the bikes. The shooters in the cars are a lesser threat than the bikers. Occasionally shoot the big truck too. TIP #2: When Smoke stops at the roadblock, focus on destroying the car IN FRONT of the bike NOT the cars on the side. Destroying it will allow Smoke to continue into the aqueducts. ********************** --OG LOC MISSIONS-- *********************** LIFE'S A BEACH TIP: When speaking with the DJ, accept her offer to dance to trigger the dancing mini-game. Press right on the D-pad to respond twice (positive) to start the game. MADD DOGG'S RHYME BOOK MANAGEMENT ISSUES TIP: Since CJ can swim; it's okay to bail out of the car and land into the water. HOUSE PARTY TIP: Keep running around and strafing when capping the Ballas. Use the crouch and roll and don't forget to replenish your ammo from those dead fools. *********************** --CESAR VIALPANDO MISSIONS-- *********************** HIGH STAKES, LOW-RIDER TIP: Be a cheater. Cut corners and you'll take first place before the second to third checkpoint. KING IN EXILE (cutscene only) This scene triggers the Courier missions. WU ZI MU TIP: Be a cheater. Cut corners and you'll take first place. Make sure to use the Handbrakes to do turns. PHOTO OPPORTUNITY TIP #1: Ryder and T-Bone Mendez will emerge from the left of the building. Toreno and Jizzy B will emerge in front of it. TIP #2: Photograph all 4 men when they EXIT their cars. Be quick about it! ZEROING IN TIP: You don't need to do the P.I.T. maneuver to scare the driver off. TEST DRIVE TIP: Don't follow Cesar too closely because he attracts police attention to himself. After you exit the shortcut "alleyway", you can then follow him as close as you want. CUSTOMS FAST TRACK TIP: No matter which container you choose, the first two you take on the crane will always be the wrong one. PUNCTURE WOUNDS TIP: Don't believe what Cesar says about the "crazy bitch that messes with my sanity". The driver you're chasing after isn't as fast as he says she is. In fact, she tends to bump into walls and veer off the road, so this mission isn't as difficult as it seems. *********************** --CJ MISSIONS-- *********************** These missions are unlocked after completing "ARE YOU GOING TO SAN FIERRO?": WEAR FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR **For some reason, I find it funny that CJ refers to the GTA3 guy as a "mute muthafucker" and Cesar's cousin Catalina as a "bitch ass". 555 WE TIP DECONSTRUCTION TIP: When destroying the Portables, run it all the way down so that you also run over the worker inside. JIZZY ICE COLD KILLA TIP: Use drive-bys or try ramming Jizzy's car off the road. But don't destroy the car with him inside! PIER 69 TIP: Do not bother with the other Ballas when approaching T-Bone. Run directly to T-Bone and cap him to trigger the next scene. TORENO'S LAST FLIGHT TIP: DO NOT drive on the freeway in the opposite lanes! Doing so will cause the helicopter to get away because of constant crashes. YAY KA-BOOM-BOOM These missions are unlocked after completing Salvatore's last mission in Las Venturas: A HOME IN THE HILLS TIP: You DON'T have to land directly on the helipad to start the mission. VERTICAL BIRD TIP: If you're daring, lure the other planes to fly over the Restricted Area base. If done correctly, all three planes will be shot down by friendly fire **This mission is the most difficult one in the game, IMHO. It's not because the mission's hard, but because the learning curve on the Hydra Jet is SUPER, SUPER, SUPER STEEP! It took me a full hour just to get this one mission done right. CJ's reaction to the whole mission sums up my frustration: "FUCK YOU TORENO! I DON'T EVER WANNA DO THIS AGAIN!!" CUT THROAT BUSINESS TIP #1: Finish Boating School before attempting this mission. The first half of the mission will be familiar to you if you finished the last Boating test. TIP #2: Don't worry about Madd Dogg; he can take care of himself. Just focus on catching up with the phony. TIP #3: No matter how hard you try, you can NEVER catch up with the phony. This is a side-by-side race that leads to the recording studio. (Believe me; I tried catching up to the phony and never got close.) **The last test at Boating School is basically a practice test for the first half of this mission. RIOTS **This is a super lame-ass mission. All you do is drive back to Grove Street while CJ and Sweet discuss about masturbation in the car (I'm not kidding!). *********************** --TRUTH MISSIONS-- *********************** BODY HARVEST TIP: Do not get out of the car when you approach the farm! Run all those hippy bitches down then run for the vehicle you came to steal. When you steal the vehicle, run them down again and see the mess you made. ARE YOU GOING TO SAN FIERRO? TIP: Try to finish the Firefighter missions before doing this (so that you're Fireproof). It'll make burning the marijuana bushes less painful. *********************** --CATALINA MISSIONS-- *********************** FIRST DATE (cutscene only) ++TANKER COMMANDER TIP: When driving the tanker, make the drive easier on yourself by doing a drive-by on those two idiots in the car instead of driving the whole way through the mission with them on your ass. FIRST BASE (cutscene only) ++AGAINST ALL ODDS TIP: Throw the Satchel on the front door and then throw one on the Safe door. GONE COURTING (cutscene only) ++LOCAL LIQUOR STORE TIP: Make the mission less stressful by helping Catalina. Don't let her do the shooting alone, help her too! You're in an ATV, so start blasting! MADE IN HEAVEN (cutscene only) ++SMALL TOWN BANK TIP: You will NOT fail the mission if you lose sight of Catalina. If you do, catch up with her in the next town and then bring her back to her hideout. FAREWELL MY LOVE (it's the GTA3 guy!) TIP: Be a cheater and cut corners. The other drivers maybe ruthless but they aren't smart enough. **All 4 ++ missions can be done in any order. *********************** --TENPENNEY (C.R.A.S.H.) MISSIONS-- *********************** BURNING DESIRE TIP: Press R1 to manually aim the Molotov cocktails at the windows GRAY IMPORTS BADLANDS TIP #1: You can kill the snitch from afar if you don't get too close to the FBI agents. TIP #2: Sneak around the back of the lodge and manually aim at the gas tank of the snitch's car and blow it up. Doing this won't allow the snitch to drive away. VERY SNEAKY AND CLEVER! SNAIL TRAIL TIP: Do NOT follow the train side by side. Get ahead of it and get to Market Station first instead! When you get there, run upstairs and try to get a motorcycle and then wait for the target and follow him. MISAPPROPRIATION HIGH NOON *********************** --WUZI MU MISSIONS-- *********************** The following missions are found in San Fierro: MOUNTAIN CLOUD BOYS RAN FA LI TIP: When exiting the airport, don't try to drive past the vans. Instead, get out of the car and shoot the guys down and THEN continue out of the airport. LURE TIP: Keep the damage on the vehicle low by doing drive-bys on those motorcycle bitches. AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT TIP: You only need to press the Circle button ONCE when diving. THE DA NANG THANG GLITCH? For some reason, I never fought the Snakehead and I passed the mission anyway. Weird. The following missions are found in Las Venturas: FENDER KETCHUP TIP: Drive like a madman! Go in wrong directions and do 180 spins to freak him out. EXPLOSIVE SITUATION YOU'VE HAD YOUR CHIPS DON PEYOTE (we're back to Vice City!) TIP: Kill all the rednecks at the Snake Farm to make the drive back to Rosie's less stressful. FISH IN A BARREL (cutscene only) *********************** --JIZZY B MISSIONS-- *********************** T-BONE MENDEZ MIKE TORENO TIP: Try doing the mission on a motorcycle. It'll make getting to the airport faster. OUTRIDER TIP: Watch out for shooters on high ledges! *********************** --ZERO MISSIONS-- *********************** You have to purchase Zero's property in order to unlock his missions. AIR RAID TIP: All the planes that approach the roof all arrive in the same order each time. Just shoot them down in the same pattern they arrive in. SUPPLY LINES NEW MODEL ARMY *********************** --TORENO MISSIONS-- *********************** MONSTER TIP: Follow the directions and keep your finger on the R1 button. This mission isn't as difficult as it looks. HIGHJACK TIP: Keep steady in the middle of the freeway and it'll allow Cesar enough time to jump in the truck. INTERDICTION VERDANT MEADOWS *********************** --ROSENBERG MISSIONS-- *********************** Yes, the pink suit wearing, coke-loving, neurotic lawyer from Vice City returns! INTENSIVE CARE TIP: No matter which ambulance you approach, the first two are always the real ones. THE MEAT BUSINESS TIP: Leave Rosenberg in the freezer and focus on killing the Mafiosos. *********************** --MADD DOGG MISSION-- *********************** This mission is available after "THE MEAT BUSINESS" mission. MADD DOGG TIP: Make sure to back up and move forward SLOWLY when trying to catch Dogg! *********************** --SALVATORE LEONE MISSIONS-- *********************** FREEFALL TIP: To land the plane successfully from a high altitude, put down the landing gear to keep the plane leveled. SAINT MARK'S BISTRO (Liberty City again!) TIP: Be sure to finish the Ammu-Nation Challenge to unlock the ability to wield dual guns. *********************** --HEIST MISSIONS-- *********************** ARCHITECTURAL ESPIONAGE TIP: Respond negatively, positively, and then positively to get the secretary to open the door for you. KEY TO HER HEART (you're that bitch's gimp now!) TIP #1: Try fighting pedestrians with your newly acquired 11-inch purple "weapon" before heading inside Millie's house. TIP #2: If you want the keycard the easy way, simply shoot Millie on your next date and wait awhile for the door to her house to have a yellow arrow. TIP #3: If you want the keycard the hard way, get your relationship with Millie above 35%. After the date, she will give CJ a call and tell him to pickup the keycard at her house. (She's in on the heist now!) Oh, and don't forget the dildo in her house. WAIT!!! I meant the 11- inch purple "weapon"! DAM AND BLAST TIP #1: You're not so supposed to jump out of the plane manually! Fly REALLY high in the sky until you see a corona. Fly through it to trigger the cutscene of CJ jumping out and crashing the plane. From there, control his parachute to the landing point and start the mission. TIP #2: As long as you don't alert everyone at once, it's okay to rub out the security and civilians that spot you inside the Dam. COP WHEELS TIP: 2 of the motorbikes are left alone while policemen are driving the other two. Bump the policemen off instead of using weapons. UP, UP AND AWAY! TIP: You will unlock the Leviathan helicopter (the one you used in this mission) at the Airstrip once you pass this mission. BREAKING THE BANK AT CALIGULA'S *********************** --AIRFIELD MISSIONS-- *********************** Airplanes in this game are a goddamn pain in the ass to fly. Flying planes in Vice City was easier than this! Passing all 10 Flying School tests unlocks the following missions: N.O.E. TIP: DO NOT (BY ANY MEANS) fly through the city or the mountains! Use the ocean and fly west of San Fierro to keep from damaging the plane. STOWAWAY TIP #1: When rushing for the plane, stay on the LEFT side to avoid the boxes. TIP #2: Hide in between pallets (to avoid the rolling barrels) and just use fighting skills against the agents (they're unarmed). BLACK PROJECT TIP: Don't bother sneaking through the blast doors (but try the Thermal Goggles). Trigger a Condition Red and just head for the alternate entrance. GREEN GOO TIP: The item you need is in the crate all the way in the front of the train. *********************** --DRIVING SCHOOL-- *********************** BACK TO SCHOOL Complete all 12 driving tests to unlock the Racing Missions: #1: THE 360 #2: THE 180 #3: WHIP AND TERMINATE #4: POP AND CONTROL #5: BURN AND LAP #6: CONE COIL #7: THE 90 #8: WHEELIE WEAVE (this one is the most difficult to pass) #9: SPIN AND GO #10: P.I.T.

Tierra Robada Fort Carson El Quebrados LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: Whitewood Estates Prickle Pine Creek Old Venturas Strip Redsands West The Clown's Pocket Pirates In Men's Pants (they should just call it the PIMP Hotel) The Camel's Toe These are all the Safe Houses and Suites that should be purchased in the game. I'll refrain from giving out the prices but just know that 90% of the houses or suites you buy cost around $10-20k each. --------------------------------- ************************* TIME KILLERS ************************* You DO NOT need to do the following missions or mini-games to get 100% (but do them anyway!): --2-PLAYER RAMPAGES This is a great mini-game but is better left alone. LOS SANTOS LOCATIONS: Pershing Square Montgomery Idlewood Dillimore SAN FIERRO LOCATIONS: Chinatown Las Pasyadus Kings El Quebrados LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: Camel's Toe Royal Casino --POOL TABLE Playing pool is a great way to waste time. You don't gain percentage for winning or losing. LOS SANTOS LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! SAN FIERRO LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! --VIDEO GAMES Avoid these games as much as possible! GAMES: DUALITY GO GO SPACE MONKEY LET'S GET READY TO BUMBLE THEY CAME FROM URANUS --BASKETBALL You don't score any points for making or missing shots in the court. And besides, CJ can only play solo anyway. LOS SANTOS LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! SAN FIERRO LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! --GIRLFRIENDS Technically, only Denise and Millie are key girlfriends in the main story but the others don't add to your percentage: WHERE TO FIND: DENISE - from the "Burning Desire" mission MICHELLE - inside the Driving School HELENA - on the balcony of Ammunation in Blueberry BARBARA - at the parking lot outside Police station in El Quebrados KATIE - at the golf course in San Fierro (across Martial Arts gym) MILLIE - from the "Key To Her Heart" mission GIRLFRIEND PREFERENCES: Denise and Millie are your girlfriends by default so there's nothing you can do about it. Michelle, Helena, and Barbara - these three must love fat people because they will NOT go out with CJ if he has too much muscle. Yes, I drove all the way around San Andreas to meet with each of them and got rejected. (No fat = no goddamn punanny) If you want to start a relationship with these girls, you'll need to start eating more junk food. So start binging and purging, tubby bitch! Katie is the only girl (out of the six) who will go out with CJ if he's packing the six-pack. If you spent all your time in the gym getting buff, then Katie is the girl for you. --DANCING This mini-game earns you cash and unlocks more songs to dance to but doesn't add to your percentage. LOS SANTOS: Alhambra Club in Jefferson SAN FIERRO LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! LAS VENTURAS LOCATIONS: NEXT UPDATE! --LOWRIDER COMPETITION Same as the dancing mini-game. --THE GYM Working out in the gym can only make CJ look better but won't add to the percentage. Sparring with trainers unlocks new moves: LOS SANTOS GYM: SAN FIERRO GYM (COBRA): Spar with the martial arts teacher to unlock a pair of high kick and punch combos. It's not very useful, IMO, but fun to try anyway. **Why is the name of the gym spelled "MARITAL ARTS"? Do you get married while using the treadmill or something? LAS VENTURAS GYM (BELOW THE BELT): Spar with the boxer to unlock CJ's most powerful set of moves. CJ can now grab anybody he's fighting and knee them in the stomach if they tend to block too much (just like in Ninja Gaiden). --TRIATHLON There are two competitions only on weekends that can garner lots of cash but still doesn't add to your percentage: #1: SANTA MARIA BEACH: BEAT THE COCK PRIZE: $10,000 #2: PALOMINO CREEK: BEAT THE COCK PRIZE: $10,000 --BEEFY BARON WHERE TO FIND: Enter red marker in Zero's RC Shop You can make extra cash destroying TopFun Vans but it still won't add to your percentage. --GAMBLING Playing these games doesn't count towards your percentage but can garner lots of cash and raise your LUCK: BLACKJACK INSIDE TRACK BETTING ROULETTE SLOTS VIDEO POKER WHEEL OF FORTUNE CASINO LOCATIONS: The Four Dragons Caligula's Palace --GANG WARS Believe it or not, acquiring more territory DOES NOT add to your percentage. It only increases the amount of cash received back at the Johnson House. TIP: You should have 53 total territories seized before heading to San Fierro. Acquiring all territories boosts your RESPECT meter by 75% but beware! After the "HOMECOMING" mission, all territories you gained will be lost and you'll have to acquire them all over again! --ALL UNIQUE STUNT JUMPS For the first time in a GTA game, USJ's DO NOT count towards your percentage.
