Ricardo Diaz - Starfish Island
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Chase
-------------
$1000
Difficulty: Easy
One of Diaz' men is stealing money from Diaz, and he doesn't like that. You
get the assignment to find out where the thief hides his stolen money.
This is an easy mission. The only thing you need to do is follow the thief,
no more, no less. First go to his appartment in Vice Point. There's only one
way you can make this mission a little bit easier: park your car on the road
that's parralel with the road where the entrance to his appartment is, you will
see a yellow trashcan there. You are going to chase him on the roofs, but at
the end he will jump down, get into a BF Injection and drive away.
He will jump down in the trash can, and drive away in a BF Injection
Now run to his appartment, and peek through the windows. You will see him,
saying "ooh, shit!", and running away. Follow him onto the roofs.
Don't worry about him shooting at you: he will only do this in the cutscenes,
and he will not hit you. Run after him, untill you see him shooting the red
barrels. Be careful now, and walk between the flames so you don't get hurt.
After he jumps in his car, jump after him, get in your own car which you parked
on the road and follow him.
Now keep distance to him. He has a friend in the back of his car who will be
shooting at you. Now as long as the distance between you and him is big enough,
he will not fire. You can follow him easily now to his mansion on Prawn Island.
Don't worry when his car keeps waiting around the corner on Prawn Island: as
soon as you go around the corner yourself you will see a cutscene and the mission
is over. [up]
Phnom Penh '86
-------------
$2000
Difficulty: Medium
You'll now have to kill all the men in the area of the mansion you found in
the previous mission, including the thief, so you can get Diaz' money back.
In the first part Lance will be flying a chopper, and you'll have to shoot all
the enemies. In the second part you go on foot, and have to take out the men
inside the mansion, and get the briefcase.
In the first part you just need to aim well and fire. There's no need to burst
(tap your fire button/key), just press your fire key and keep spraying all the
bullets on the enemies. Always shoot red barrels if you see them: their explosions
will kill several enemies. Just keep shooting till all men are dead. The chopper
has more then enough health, so you should survive it. After you land you can
take the machine gun with you, as well as 100 bullets for it. Now walk to the
entrance of the mansion, but don't walk into the mansion yet. Shoot from the
outside all the men you can see. Then approach step by step, and peek inside
the mansion. Shoot the enemies you see. Most of the times you can shoot them
without being seen yourself. Now walk in, and shoot the enemies who are left
(if there are any). Walk upstairs, and go to the left, where another stair is.
On top of that stair is another enemy. Shoot him, and walk to the roof. There
shoudn't be any enemies left. If there are, shoot them. Now pick up the briefcase,
and Lance will come in his chopper to pick you up. [up]
-> You can now continue storyline missions from Colonel
Cortez
-> You have now access to the whole city
The Fastest Boat
-------------
$4000
Difficulty: Medium
Every smuggler in Vice City wants to have the fastest boat, and Ricardo Diaz
was the lucky man to have it. However, some guy from Costa Rica has build a
faster boat, and Diaz wants you to steal it.
First of all, get a sniper rifle. You can find one in the maze in the garden
of Diaz' mansion. Also be sure to have a submachine gun (like the Mac or Uzi)
and/or a rifle (like the Kruger or Colt Python). Now head for the boatyard.
Seven men are guarding the place: one on the left side of the yard, one on
the right side, one behind it, two in front, and another two are guarding near
the water. Do not enter the boatyard yet, but take your sniper-rifle and kill
the three guards who are walking around and who you can see from the road. This
will get you a one-star wanted level, but if you wait for some seconds it will
disappear. Now enter carefully. There will be two men close to the boat and
the water, and two in front of the entrance of the yard. You can kill the two
guards near the water with your sniper rifle. Kill the two guards who are left
with your rifle or submachine gun. Now enter the boatyard. About four men are
in there. They only have hammers to kill you, so shoot them before they reach
you. Now walk to the control panel. The boat will be lowered, and a bunch of
new enemies will come in. Take cover behind the boxes, and shoot the enemies
from there. This way you shoudn't be hurt at all, and you can easily kill them.
You have great cover behind these boxes
When they are all dead run to the boat and enter it. You will get a three-star
wanted level, and therefore there will be a helicopter flying around, and several
police boats are hunting you. Ignore them, and navigate to Diaz' mansion. Do
not navigate in a straight line: the police boats will shoot and easily hit
you. Just keep zigzagging (go a little bit to the left, then to the right, and
then to the left again, etcetera). When you reach Diaz' mansion the mission
will be over. [up]
-> You have now access to the second telephone mission
Supply & Demand
-------------
$10000
Difficulty: Medium
Every month a boat with drugs arrives in Vice City, selling the drugs to the
first buyer. Diaz wants you to be the first one to get there, kill the other
potential buyers, and return the cargo to his mansion.
First run to the back of Diaz mansion, where you'll meet up with Lance again.
Now you see a short cutscene, in which four speedboats are on it's way to get
the drugs. Two boats are taking a route that goes to the left, the other two
take a route that goes straight ahead. Take the route to the left, since it
is shorter and there's more room to navigate. Now be careful: do not hit the
other boats! If you do this, there's a big chance that Lance will be thrown
overboard which will fail the mission. Also be careful when it comes to turning:
do not crash into walls or other boats.
It shoudn't be very difficult to be the first one to reach the drugboat since
you have the fastest boat and the other boats are way slower. Once you've made
it, Lance will take over the wheel and you'll have to shoot the incoming enemies.
First of all there will be two boats with gunmen on it from behind. Then after
a while a chopper will follow you and start shooting, but before it comes close
you will pass four men on your right. Just shoot the two red barrels which are
located behind them.
Shoot the two red barrels and shoot any survivors
Now concentrate on the chopper, which will fly quite low. Aim
primarily on the gunman hanging out of it, but if you can't hit him then just
keep shooting on the chopper itself untill it blows. Now you will encounter
only one more target, a boat which is in front of you. Just shoot the gunman
on it. When you arrive at the back of Diaz' mansion you have finished all missions
for Diaz, and you will be rewared $10000. [up]
-> You can now play the Vercetti missions
