9. The Island Algonquin

So, now let us go after new ventures on Algonquin island. First, go to the center of the city and look for a Burger shot in what is the "Time's Square" like area. There should be a green friend marker nearby, so go to him.

*NOTE: Across the street from the Perseus store near your safehouse is a store called Grotti that has free Turismos. Keep that in mind if you ever want one for races and such.*

Urban Consciousness

Go across the street with a knife of fists and help Pathos kill the two playa-haters. That's it.

Now go south to the pier to meet with the mystery man.

Call and Collect

Francis wants you to go toward the bridge up north. Get there and go to the viewpoint and then wait for the text with the number. Once you have it, walk down the steps and call the number (there is an option to call it, you don't have to type it) and by the hotdog stand should be the guy. Get close and when he runs just pull out your pistol and shoot him dead before he runs too far away. Collect his evidence and then make a long run all the way north along this walkway and you should be able to shake the wanted level. There should also be a bike up the north behind a fence.

Once you have the stuff, go further north and drop it off at the location.

Now McReary has a "Fm" marker on the map, but since we are up here already, go see Playboy X at the "X" symbol on the map. You should also get a call from Patrick "Packie" McReary about work (the guy from one of Liz's missions), but hold it off for later.

Deconstruction For Beginners

So go south and get into the parked car to properly arm yourself. Then get on the lift and take it up the roof, all the way up. From here there are just three lookouts to snipe and all of them are on the front cranes. The first two are easy to spot, but the only way to see the third one is to look as far down as you can while looking down the sight. Once you take them out you can leave, but you can still snipe six more tangos below. They are all in the middle area of the cranes, three on one side and three on the other. If you don't get them now you will fight them later.

After sniping, take the lift back down and go right down the street and through the movable gate to get in. The first boss is easy to snipe from right here. But after you kill him there will be a bunch of enemies that pop up and they will rush you from the left, so be ready. Now keep moving to the second building and fight anyone in your way. Go up the ramp and there will be a scene up here, but if you already sniped the enemies that here here you have no need to use your grenades. Just stand up and snipe the boss in the corner.

Now go around the corner on the right, kill some goons, and then kill the third boss. One more left and this time come back and go down the left side. Kill more enemies and the copter will drop off a bunch more with AK's on all of them. Just stay back and shoot them all from afar. Then run after the last boss and shoot him down before he runs too far away. And that's that.

With that mission a success, go back to X and get the next mission.

Photo Shoot

Now your phone has a camera function, as well as ready to get new ringtones from the internet. For now, go to the basketball courts and then walk into, but don't get too close to the three dudes. Walk right and along the fence to behind the bleachers, and you can even jump on them if you like. Now take out your phone, choose the camere option, get it so the three dudes' faces are in the picture of your phone, snap it, and then send it to X. If he calls you then you got the guy; if he texts you then you need to snap again from another angle, but you have to get all of their faces. Once he points out the right guy you can basically kill all of them because they carry guns, but you want to make sure you kill the target first because he will run to a car and speed away. So kill him and you can run away.

So after that mission, go to the @ cafe nearby and after you check your spam emails (what else is new?) go to the ringtones option on the homepage and buy whatever ringtones and themes you want. Personally, Honkers and Lesbians is the way to go (what else is new?).

*NOTE: If you got the email about ZiT, you can call them and learn the info of songs you hear. The number is 948-555-0100 and if you call when a song is on the radio you can learn the name and artist of the song.*

Now go to Dwayne at the "D" on your map. Should get a call from Michelle too to go somewhere, but hold off on that.

Ruff Rider

Ride down to the marker, maybe with a good handling or heavy car, and after the scene you better let the girl live for later in the game. Then just get in your car or the nearby bike and chase the guy down. If you can ram him over, that's great. However, your safest bet is to shoot him off the bike and run him over as he falls off, or just shoot him again before he gets in a car. If the cops are after you, shake them and then go to the Cluckin' Bell in the downtown area.

After that, remember Pathos? The underground rapper dude? Go to the north end of "Time's Square" and he will be there.

Wankstas

Yep, gotta bail him out again, but this time you have to shoot those haters. Kill them and then get to a nearby car to take him to the hospital. I don't think you are timed at all, but you can get to the hospital before his talking is over and you can hear him out before letting him off. That's that.

Now go to Dwayne for his second mission.

Undress to Kill

Yep, because it's been too long since you've been to the strip club. The club is owned by gangsters, so go there and feel free to start shooting the bouncers before offing the three marked leaders. Get the first two in the club and then come out to the parking lot. If you can shoot the third one before he gets too far away you will save yourself a lot of time and ammo. If not, you gotta chase him down the highway and shoot him while driving. Once you kill him the mission is over.

Hostile Negotiation

This is when I got a call about Roman from Mallorie. Soon after you should get a text from Dimitri. If you do not, then wait until you get this and then come back to read it, but you have no choice of when you accept this mission.

Go to the south end of Bohan and toward the warehouse. There is a gun before you step on the marker, but have your AK in hand. After the scene, sneak behind the two enemies and blindfire on them to kill them easily. The rest on the floor and a few up above are killed with your standard pop and fire gunplay. Make your way up to the next level and when you clear all the guys out, go over to the steps and you'll get a body armor. Keep moving up the level where Roman is being held and clear your way across the bridge and into his room. You have a few seconds to get close and then you need to quickly aim at the guys head without hitting your bro. Even if you miss you get one split second to try again before he shoots. If your aim is good, just follow Roman down to the truck and drive him home. Feel free to save afterward.

Now make your way back to Algonquin Island. If you go down the eastern road along the river, toward your new safe house if Roman calls you, you should run into a green friend marker at a corner, so check it out.

*NOTE: If you check the physical map and find the LCPD in the northeast side of the island, that's where he is.*

Jeff's Wife

Just hop in the car and follow them to a cafe. Don't get too close of they will run. Just get them into view and snap a photo. If you get the message to leave the place, just go outside and the mission is over.

Now just wait around until Playboy X calls again for the final mission from him.

The Holland Play

This one is a long one. The first call from Playboy is just an intro into the subject. Then you are free to do whatever. At some point Dwayne will call and give you his side of the story. Now, you can try to call Playboy X, but he may not pick up. If not, you may have to wait a while before he calls you again.

Once you get a second call from Playboy you are forced to finish this mission. You are given an X and a D on your map. It's your choice, but here are the rewards for each kill. If you kill X you get his crib and D will be your BFF. If you kill Dwayne then you get money from X but he will not be your friend.

The choice is pretty clear: kill Playboy X. Go to his loft and after the scene just blindfire to kill the four enemies (one by the pool table). Then run outside and after the quick scene you need to jump to the roof and then down the flights of stairs. Outside you need to kill a gunner and a driver, then go find X stuck at a locked door and gun him down, or maybe execute him.

After you do, Dwayne is your friend and the fancy loft is now your own safe house. And there has to be something said about a game where you can watch an HDTV on your HDTV.
