Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
EFIL4ZAGGIN 100% Completion Guide
Authored by Bootkneeley Farnswurth (aka VampireHorde)
*************************
INTRODUCTION
*************************
Thanks for clicking on EFIL4ZAGGIN (try reading that word backwards).
This simple guide will reveal EVERY Main and Non-story mission in the
game towards achieving that precious 100% game save.
I will only give critical tips (not long boring-ass walkthroughs) for
most 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.
And, YES, I have achieved 100% three separate times!
++WARNING: THIS FAQ CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE (for humor purposes
of course)!
************************
--EARLY CJ MISSIONS--
************************
BIG SMOKE/SWEET & KENDL
PUNK BITCH aka RYDER
TIP #1: Choose the Afro for a negative reaction or the Jheri curl for a
positive reaction from that punk bitch.
TIP #2: Cornrows have the most sex appeal on the haircut list.
***********************
--SWEET MISSIONS--
***********************
TAGGING UP TURF
CLEANING THE HOOD
TIP: Use a Pistol instead of a melee weapon to cap the crack dealer.
DRIVE-THRU ("Tacos, again? HELL NO!")
TIP: Stick to driving the car only! Let Sweet and that punk bitch do
the shooting. If you try to help in the drive-by, there's a possibility
that the Kilo Tray car you're shooting may explode too soon and cause
yours to explode too.
NINES AND AKS
DRIVE-BY
TIPS: If you wanna incur the wrath of that punk bitch, get out of the
car and shoot the Ballas down instead of driving. (Yes, you CAN get out
of the car even though you're supposed to do drive-bys.) You'll hear
that punk bitch say, "See? What'd I tell you, Sweet! Busta, straight
busta!"
SWEET'S GIRL
CESAR VIALPANDO
DOBERMAN
TIP: Be sure to pick up the weapons the Ballas drop during each wave.
LOS SEPULCROS
**You need to acquire at least 20 or more territories and finish the
"GRAY IMPORTS" mission for Tenpenney to trigger this mission.
REUNITING THE FAMILIES ("I resent your implication and shit.")
**To trigger this mission, you need to finish all the missions for
Tenpenney, Big Smoke, OG Joke, and the punk bitch.
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 ("You want a fucking parade? Nigga please!")
**For directions on recruiting gang members, refer to the "Frequently
Asked Questions" section of this FAQ.
END OF THE LINE
**I won't compose a walkthrough for this section (for major spoiler
purposes) but I will give a few necessary pre-requisites in order to
pass this mission with little to no problems.
PRE-REQUISITES:
--DESERT EAGLE - maxed out ammo and HITMAN level
--M4 - maxed out ammo and HITMAN level
--DUAL SAWN-OFFS - maxed out ammo and HITMAN level
--Max STAMINA
--150 HEALTH
--150 ARMOR
--FIREPROOF unlocked
--Max DRIVING SKILL
This is all you need to pass this mission. Try to get as much
ammunition for those 3 weapons (you have lots of money so spend it!).
Unlocking FIREPROOF and having max DRIVING SKILL will help towards the
last half of the mission.
***********************
--PUNK BITCH MISSIONS--
***********************
HOME INVASION
**Look in the Non-Story missions' section of this FAQ for the exact
location of the Boxville for doing Home Invasions.
CATALYST ("What should I call you? Midget?")
TIP: When flinging crates simply aim the reticle above that punk
bitch's face or body and then press L1. Or toss the crate on the hood
of the car and it will bounce to him.
ROBBING UNCLE SAM
**Just in case you're wondering why I call Ryder a punk bitch, it's
because CJ calls him that later in the game. Well, actually CJ calls
him a "little bitch" but punk bitch is a funnier name.
***********************
--BIG SMOKE MISSIONS--
***********************
OG LOC (aka OG Joke)
RUNNING DOG
WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS
TIP: Try to stay in the middle of the tracks and focus on getting up
front. You can also do it on the far right side but there's a higher
chance of getting shot and losing health while driving the bike, so
stay close instead.
JUST BUSINESS
TIP #1: Focus on shooting the guys on the bikes. The shooters in the
cars are a lesser threat than the bikers. Shoot the big truck's tires
if it gets too close.
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 JOKE MISSIONS--
***********************
LIFE'S A BEACH
MADD DOGG'S RHYME BOOK
MANAGEMENT ISSUES ("OH FFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKK!!!")
TIP: Since CJ can swim; it doesn't matter if you bail out early, bail
out late, or not at all.
HOUSE PARTY (No, not the Kid N' Play movie)
**When dating Katie, she spouts off random quotes during the date (like
every girlfriend in the game), one of them being "OG Loc? More like OG
Joke!"
***********************
--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. If you can't make first place halfway
through the race then you aren't cheating properly!
KING IN EXILE (cutscene only)
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 ("I know a pimp when I see one!")
The following missions open up AFTER you finish the "YAY KA BOOM BOOM"
mission, pass all 12 Driving tests, and purchase the Wang's Auto
showroom (in that order):
ZEROING IN
TEST DRIVE
CUSTOMS FAST TRACK
**Completing this mission opens up the Export/Import garage near the
crane. Walk up to the chalkboard to see the list of cars wanted.
PUNCTURE WOUNDS
TIP: For faster results, use the P.I.T. maneuver to swerve the "crazy
bitch" off the road. Quickly lay down a spike on the road and if done
correctly, she'll pop her tires.
***********************
--CARL "PIMP-MACKDADDY" JOHNSON MISSIONS--
***********************
These following 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
**Completing this mission opens up Driving School. Wait for Jethro's
call and he'll inform CJ about the school.
JIZZY
ICE COLD KILLA
TIP: For some Jizzy hi-larity later in the mission, shoot all four
tires of his Broadway before entering the roof. When Jizzy tries to
drive away from the club, he'll barely make it onto the road (BARELY).
**Thanks to the guy who gave me this tip long ago. Forgot your name.
PIER 69
**Completing this mission opens up Boating School at Bayside Marina.
TORENO'S LAST FLIGHT
**BIG NOTE: You will pass this mission as long as you fire ONE rocket
at the helicopter. The helicopter flies away and claims it went down in
a ball of flames. NOT TRUE! You'll see why later in the game.
YAY KA-BOOM-BOOM
**Finishing this mission triggers Toreno's missions. Wait for his
"phone call".
The following missions are unlocked after completing "SAINT MARK'S
BISTRO" mission and watching the "FISH IN A BARREL" cutscene:
A HOME IN THE HILLS
TIP: You DON'T have to land directly on the helipad to start the
mission.
VERTICAL BIRD ("That wasn't a groupie! It was a roadie!")
TIP: Before stealing the Hydra, notice that there's another fighter jet
parked inside and another one that descends next to it. Destroy both
fighter jets (keep a really far distance). When you steal the Hydra,
you will only be pursued by ONE jet! Unfortunately, you're on your own
after that.
HOMECOMING
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 that chickenshit phony and never
got close.)
**You unlock the Go-Kart at the back entrance of Madd Dogg's crib when
you finish this mission. There are also various spawning points for the
Kart just so you know, but I'll let you find them.
RIOTS ("Hans Jerkov?")
**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
ARE YOU GOING TO SAN FIERRO? ("I can't drive when I'm faded!")
TIP: Finish the Firefighter missions before doing this so that you're
Fireproof. It'll make burning the chronic less painful (in a way).
***********************
--CATALINA MISSIONS--
***********************
FIRST DATE (cutscene only)
++TANKER COMMANDER
TIP: When driving the tanker, make the mission easier on yourself by
getting out of the truck and shooting the two assholes down (Catalina
will even help you!) instead of driving the whole way through with both
of them on your ass.
FIRST BASE (cutscene only)
++AGAINST ALL ODDS (no, not the Phil Collins song...or is it?)
GONE COURTING (cutscene only)
++LOCAL LIQUOR STORE ("Don't shoot that gun so close to my ear!")
TIP: Make the mission less stressful by helping Catalina. Don't let her
do the shooting alone! You're in an ATV, so start blasting with her!
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 ("Hold up, bitch! What the fuck is this?")
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.
***********************
--TENPENNY "EZEKIEL 25:17" MISSIONS--
***********************
BURNING DESIRE
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. WHO'S THE SMART ONE NOW, PUNK MUTHAFUCKER?!?
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 Woozie missions are found in San Fierro:
MOUNTAIN CLOUD BOYS ("You lost? Need a hand?")
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. Do the same for the bikers.
LURE
AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT ("I'm blind, Carl, not stupid.")
TIP #1: You need to boost your Lung Capacity by at least 1% to do this
mission, so practice diving (not swimming)! Keep diving around the
water until a pop-up confirms your LUNG CAPACITY has been upgraded.
TIP #2: You only need to press the Circle button ONCE when diving.
THE DA NANG THANG
TIP #1: Although the game says to keep quiet "for as long as possible",
I say fuck it and blast everybody that gets in your way!
TIP #2: The Snakehead is a pussy-fighter. If you learned the karate
moves at the Cobra gym, one full combo will kill this bitch!
The following Woozie missions are found in Las Venturas after
completing all 12 Flight School tests:
FENDER KETCHUP ("OH MY GOD! I JUST SHIT MYSELF!!")
EXPLOSIVE SITUATION
YOU'VE HAD YOUR CHIPS
DON PEYOTE (its Kent Paul and the guy from Love Fist!)
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)
**After watching this scene, Rosie will call CJ about Salvatore. This
phone call unlocks Salvatore's missions.
***********************
--JIZZY B MISSIONS--
***********************
T-BONE MENDEZ
MIKE TORENO
TIP: Do the mission on a motorcycle. It'll make getting to the airport
faster. Uh oh, did I give it away?
**I find it funny that Toreno pulls a gun on CJ and asks, "Who the fuck
is this?" yet later in the game, Toreno knows everything about CJ!
OUTRIDER
TIP: Watch out for shooters on high ledges!
**Technically, this is a CJ mission but it's Jizzy who triggers it.
***********************
--ZERO MISSIONS--
***********************
You have to purchase Zero's property in order to unlock his missions.
AIR RAID ("Who the fuck is Berkley?")
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 ("Those are some pretty strong drawers!")
**Thanks to all the user-submitted strategies. The one I've written
here have been the majority of strategies I've been getting, so PLEASE
DO NOT ASK ME FOR ANYMORE TIPS! Nothing else I tell you can make this
mission any easier!
It seems the only way to counter a 5 1/2 minute gas limit (RC planes
use gas?) is NOT to fly! When the mission starts, land the plane on the
street and control the plane from there. Control the plane towards each
van or bike and shoot them all down. Once Zero gives the command to
bring the plane back, go ahead and start flying it. Good luck, you're
gonna need it!
NEW MODEL ARMY
TIP: This mission is super simple! Ignore Zero's annoying commands and
grab some mini-missiles first. Destroy all three mini-tanks AND THEN
continue with the mission without any mini-tank interference AND
without a single scratch on the Bandit. Man, this was so easy!
**After finishing all Zero's missions, I still have the same question
CJ asked: "WHO THE FUCK IS BERKLEY?"
***********************
--TORENO MISSIONS--
***********************
MONSTER ("What the fuck is a GPS?")
HIGHJACK ("What am I? A Mexican jumping bean?!?")
INTERDICTION
VERDANT MEADOWS
**During this mission, Jethro will call to tell CJ about an "unofficial
racing club". This phone call unlocks the Checkered Flag races.
**Completing all of Toreno's missions will unlock four weapons at his
house: Minigun, Rocket Launcher, Flamethrower, and Heat-Seeking Missile
Launcher. Unfortunately, you don't unlock the super sweet Monster truck
used in the "MONSTER" mission.
***********************
--ROSENBERG MISSIONS--
***********************
Yes, the pink suit wearing, coke-loving, neurotic lawyer from Vice City
returns!
INTENSIVE CARE
TIP: The fake Ambulance vehicle with Johnny is located in the Rockshore
West area. Ignore the other two.
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! It's not as hard as it looks. TRUST ME, IT'S NOT!
***********************
--SALVATORE LEONE MISSIONS--
***********************
FREEFALL (hey, it's Maria from GTA3!)
TIP #1: Do NOT jump out of the plane manually! Fly the plane REALLY
high until you can see the approaching aircraft with the floating
corona on top of it! Do a 180-bank turn and then fly through the corona
on top of the other aircraft to trigger the cutscene of CJ jumping out.
TIP #2: To land the plane successfully from a high altitude, put down
the landing gear to keep the plane leveled.
SAINT MARK'S BISTRO (Wait, wasn't it called Marco's Bistro in GTA3?)
***********************
--THE "BELLAGIO, MIRAGE & MGM GRAND" HEIST MISSIONS--
***********************
ARCHITECTURAL ESPIONAGE
KEY TO HER HEART
TIP #1: 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 #2: 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 11-inch purple "weapon"!
**I've found a faster way of getting the keycard without killing her.
Read the Frequently Asked Questions section for complete info.
DAM AND BLAST
TIP #1: You're not supposed to jump out of the plane manually!
Fly REALLY high in the sky until you see a corona in the clouds. 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 (it'll only
give you a 1-Star Wanted rating which you can shake off easily).
UP, UP AND AWAY!
BREAKING THE BANK AT CALIGULA'S
TIP: If you missed the helipad when jumping off the roof, land on the
street and quickly jack a vehicle and hightail it back to the Airstrip.
***********************
--AIRFIELD MISSIONS--
***********************
Airplanes in this game are a goddamn pain in the ass to fly (that is NO
joke!). 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.
Unfortunately, I have no tips on how to fly that damn Rustler.
STOWAWAY
TIP: When rushing for the plane, stay on the LEFT side.
BLACK PROJECT
GREEN GOO
TIP: You need to destroy two crates (of the three) in order to get the
item. It doesn't matter which ones they are but the third destroyed
crate will ALWAYS have the item.
**Completing this mission will unlock the ULTRA SWEET "Black Project"
at the Airstrip.
***********************
--DRIVING SCHOOL--
***********************
**The school opens up after the "DECONSTRUCTION" mission. Wait for
Jethro's phone call and the school will open up.

Wang's Auto Showroom property for purchase:
#1: THE 360
#2: THE 180

***********************
**To unlock Flying School, you need to purchase the Airstrip for
$80,000 during the "VERDANT MEADOWS" mission from Toreno.
You CANNOT take Flight School until you buy the Airstrip!!!
LEARNING TO FLY
Complete the 10 following (difficult) missions to acquire CJ's pilot
license and unlock Las Venturas:
#1: TAKEOFF
#2: LAND PLANE
#3: CIRCLE AIRSTRIP
#4: CIRCLE AIRSTRIP AND LAND
TIP: Before passing through the second to last corona, put down the
landing gear so that the plane can level itself when you land. This may
take a few tries but it will guarantee a GOLD Certificate.
#5: HELICOPTER TAKEOFF
#6: LAND HELICOPTER
#7: DESTROY TARGETS
TIP: Use First-person view to destroy targets with better precision.
#8: LOOP THE LOOP
#9: BARREL ROLL (this test is a bitch to pass)
#10: PARACHUTING
TIP: Landing directly in the middle of the circle will give you a GOLD.

GOLD - HUNTER
UNLOCKABLES:
++HYDRA FIGHTER JET - Complete the "VERTICAL BIRD" mission and it will
spawn in the last hangar.

will spawn at the Airstrip and sometimes it won't.)

million hunk of junk!
I achieved all GOLD for the Flying tests and I have proof, baby!

randomly by itself each time you head back to the Bike School.
--------------------------------
************************
==NON-STORY MISSIONS==
************************
The following challenges can be done anytime:
--AMBULANCE--
Make it to Level 12 to boost your Health to 150.
TIP: Do this mission in Angel Pine or any small county on the map since
the area is so small.
--VIGILANTE "PIGS WEAR BLUE"--
Make it to Level 12 to boost your Armor to 150.
TIP: Save your ammo and just steal a Rhino. Or if you maxed out your
SMG ammo, do the mission from an HPV1000.
--FIRE TRUCK--
Make it to Level 12 and you'll unlock "Fireproof".
--TAXI--
Drop off 50 (thank god!) passengers non-consecutively to unlock Nitro
in all Taxis and Cabbies.
--PIMPING--
WHERE TO FIND: Steal a Broadway and press R3 to trigger the missions.
Make 10 out of 10 successful pimps and you'll make cash each time you
pick up a ho' (THE IRONY!).
--FREIGHT TRAIN-
WHERE TO FIND: Any train station with a stopped train
Complete 5 successful deliveries on Level 1 and then exit the train.
Enter the train again and press R3 to start Level 2. Complete 5
successful deliveries on Level 2 to complete the mission.
TIP #1: To do a complete stop, lower the train's speed to less than 25-
30 MPH when you reach close to the 300-mile Distance mark.
Since the brakes are pressure sensitive, press the Square button down
hard to stop the train directly before the red marker.
TIP #2: You'll be making 5 deliveries: two in each county and then back
to the train station where you jacked the train.
**After the mission, whenever you go to a train station with a stopped
train, press the Triangle button on any of the passenger cars and get a
free ride.
--BMX CHALLENGE--
WHERE TO FIND: Glen Park across the hospital
Finish the checkpoint challenge to add points to your percentage.
TIP: You can try the L1+Circle Button mega bunny hop trick. Doing this
makes CJ jump 5x higher even without any Cycling skills.
--CHILIAD CHALLENGE--
WHERE TO FIND: On top of Mount Chiliad
Complete all three BMX courses to add more points toward the
percentage:
#1 SCOTCH BONNET YELLOW ROUTE
#2 BIRDSEYE WINDER
#3 COBRA RUN
TIP: My only tip for these three super frustrating races is to do the
routes and then practice them. If you lose the race, go back up and do
a practice run of the route to get a feel of the course. Do it for all
three routes if you can. Good luck!
**All three races count as 1 full mission. You need to win first place
in all three races to get percentage.
--NRG-500 CHALLENGE--
WHERE TO FIND: Easter Basin near the Export Garage
Finish the checkpoint challenge to add more percentage points.
--VALET--
Make it to Level 5 to acquire the Vank Hoff Hotel assets
--THE GYM--
You need to spar with trainers to unlock new moves:
LOS SANTOS GYM:
Spar with the boxer to learn a pair of jab and uppercut moves.
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 him or her in the stomach if
they tend to block too much (just like in Ninja Gaiden).
++Once CJ is buff enough, challenge the trainers in the gym and beat
them. Once CJ learns the new moves, you WILL gain percentage. You only
have to do this once for all three trainers.
--HUNTER QUARRY--
WHERE TO FIND: west/southwest of Las Venturas
Complete all seven Quarry missions to acquire the Quarry assets:
#1 CLEAR THE ROCKS
#2 CLEAR THE EXPLOSIVES
#3 USE THE DUMPER TO KILL THE THIEVES

#7 DELIVER ITEMS IN LESS THAN 6 GAME HOURS

TIP: The locations for deliveries changes for each mission. If you fail
the mission, don't think you'll do the same route again.

WHERE TO FIND: Easter Basin after the "CUSTOMS FAST TRACK" mission.
Export all 30 cars on the list to acquire any car you want on specific
days for a price.
LIST #1:

STRETCH
FELTZER
REMINGTON
BUFFALO
SENTINEL
INFERNUS
CAMPER
ADMIRAL
**You acquire the Monster Truck for the first five deliveries and the
Windsor for the next 5 deliveries.
++I found an area in San Fierro that spawns the Patriot. North of
Easter Basin is the Naval Base. Enter the open gate and turn left.
Drive all the way to the end of the Dock and it'll spawn there. Good
luck getting out of there alive!
LIST #2:
SLAMVAN
BLISTA COMPACT
STAFFORD
SABRE
FCR-900
CHEETAH
RANCHER
STALLION
TANKER

30 pictures of the cars. Hopefully it'll help make the Exporting
mission easier.
Oh, and NONE of these pictures are from the Bradygames guide. I found
all cars and took the pictures myself.
--ARENA MISSIONS--
WHERE TO FIND: Look for the Trophy icon on the map
Complete the 4 following stadium challenges to unlock cars outside the
stadium in all three counties:
#1 8-TRACK (LOS SANTOS STADIUM)
TIP #1: Definitely cut corners in this race. Since the car your driving
swerves off very easily, you'll need to keep a finger on the Handbrake
at all times.
TIP #2: You'll unlock the MONSTER (with an American flag design) and
the HOTRING RACER at the parking lot when you place first.
#2 DIRT TRACK (LAS VENTURAS STADIUM)
TIP #1: You don't need to cut corners to win this race. There is a
really high jump that will cause ALL the racers to fly off their bikes
EVERY SINGLE TIME. When you reach this jump, simply let go of the gas
button. By doing this you'll land softly and cut ahead without even
trying.
TIP #2: You unlock the BF INJECTION in front of the stadium next to the
DUNE.
#3 KICKSTART (LAS VENTURAS STADIUM)
TIP: You unlock the DUNE vehicle in front of the stadium. It looks more
like a modded Dump truck to me.
#4 BLOOD BOWL (SAN FIERRO STADIUM)
TIP: You'll unlock the BLOODRING BANGER vehicle in the parking lot next
to the giant football statue for placing first.
**Be sure to get First place in all four challenges to get the
percentage! No exceptions!
--AMMUNATION CHALLENGE--
Complete the 4 shooting range challenges.
#1 PISTOL CHALLENGE
#2 SMG CHALLENGE
#3 SHOTGUN CHALLENGE
TIP: The Third Round of the Shotgun challenge is a little hard to pass.
Rapidly tap the fire button to get as many shotgun blasts off before
Booth 3 owns your ass.
#4 AK-47 CHALLENGE
**BIG NOTICE: If you exit the challenge or fail one of them, you will
have to start the challenge all over again.

CAR: ZR-350
**If you look at the race boards, you will see that you already got 1ST
Place for the Lowrider and Badlands A & B races. That's because you
already did these races during the "High Stakes, Low Rider", "Wu Zi Mu"
and "Farewell, My Love" missions.
==SAN FIERRO WANG AUTO==
#1: DIRTBIKE DANGER
CAR: SANCHEZ
#2: BANDITO COUNTRY

percentage.
Pass all 10 tests at Verdant Meadows to unlock these challenges:
==LAS VENTURAS AIPORT==
#1: WORLD WAR ACES
PLANE: RUSTLER
#2: BARNSTORMING
PLANE: STUNTPLANE
#3: MILITARY SERVICE
PLANE: HYDRA
TIP: This is my ONLY tip for this mission: Enter "Takeoff mode" but
LEAVE THE LANDING GEAR DOWN FOR THE ENTIRE CHALLENGE! This will prevent
the damn jet from swerving in every direction but up your pilot-
licensed ass!
#4: CHOPPER CHECKPOINT
PLANE: MAVERICK
#5: WHIRLY BIRD WAYPOINT
PLANE: MAVERICK
#6: HELI HELL
PLANE: HUNTER
**For Challenge #4, #5, and #6 take your sweet time collecting every
checkpoint and focus on keeping the plane undamaged. Your percentage
will increase as long as you pass all the checkpoint challenges.
When you complete all the Checkered Flag races in all three counties
you receive $1,000,000! Good job!
--ALL 50 OYSTERS--
Finding all 50 Oysters boosts your Lung Capacity to maximum and Sex
Appeal to about 40% (all attributes are boosted WHILE you are finding
them not after you find them) and an extra $100,000.
I will also give a few easy to find locations for these Oysters.

---------------------------------
*************************
TIME KILLERS
*************************
You DO NOT need to do the following missions or mini-games to get 100%
(but do them anyway!):
--2-PLAYER RAMPAGES
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/BARS - "Not exactly premium liquor, is it?"
Playing pool is a great way to waste time. You don't gain percentage
for winning or losing. Walk up to the pool player and trigger a
conversation by pressing the Triangle button.
LOS SANTOS:
Ten Green Bottles Bar on Grove Street one block from Grove Street
SAN FIERRO:
Misty's across the Martial Arts gym
Lil' Probe Inn past Fort Carson
LAS VENTURAS:
The Craw Bar near Old Venturas Strip
The Casino Floor
--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:
Sweet's house
Playa Del Seville
Madd Dogg's Crib
**There are various basketball courts scattered throughout the game,
but the ones I mention here are the ones that actually have a
basketball ON the court to play with.
--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 (with her necrophilia fetish
intact).
GIRLFRIEND REJECTION PERKS:
This isn't really important but you should know that even if you are
rejected when you meet Michelle, Barbara, Katie, or Helena, the
girlfriend meter in the menu already adds up for each of them and the
perks already come into play.
**Please refer to the Girlfriends FAQ by bloodstorm for more in-depth
info about the rewards and benefits of being a playa (or playa-hater)!
--DANCING
This mini-game unlocks more songs to dance to but doesn't add to your
percentage.
LOS SANTOS: Alhambra Club in Idlewood
SAN FIERRO: Gaydar Station in Queens
LAS VENTURAS: I found the dance club but it doesn't have a name
anywhere in front of the building. It's east of the Come-A-Lot Hotel.
There are two extra songs to unlock:
-Hollywood Swingin' - Kool & the Gang
-Funky President - James Brown
**See if you can beat my score of 9275. You have to basically make NO
mistakes throughout the song to even reach this high. Unfortunately,
you still don't get shit for getting a high score, not even cash.
--LOWRIDER COMPETITION
Same as the dancing mini-game
--HOME INVASIONS
Once you complete the mission with that punk bitch, you can do home
invasions. You DO NOT need to do this for 100%.
The Boxville van is hidden near an apartment complex directly across
the Ganton Gym. Enter the van and press R3 when the clock hits midnight
to trigger the mission.
THE USUAL SHIT YOU'LL BE STEALING:
-Televisions (big and small)
-VCR's (I think that's what they are)
-Game systems
-Boomboxes
-Stereo systems
-Microwaves
--BIG COCK TRIATHLONS
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 or $20,000
**Thanks to all the people who submitted their strategies. What I'll
post here are pre-requisites for the contest.
COCK PRE-REQUISITES:
--Max MUSCLE (80%-90% muscle is fine)
--Max STAMINA
--Max CYCLING SKILL
TIP #1: When the countdown begins, rapidly tap the X button to get a
headstart when the contest begins. Run in between the contestants and
head to the water (you're purposely cutting them off). If done
correctly, you'll be in first place before you even swim to the first
red marker.
TIP #2: During the Cycling part, keep tapping X for lots of speed. When
heading downhill, release the X button and let CJ coast. Look behind
you occasionally to see if the Cock is behind you. There are no tricky
or sharp turns in either race so don't worry, it's all straightforward
cycling.
TIP #3: When you reach the last Cycling marker, jump off the bike! DO
NOT USE THE BRAKES! As soon as CJ jumps out, start running. To get max
running speed from CJ, rapidly tap the X button. Holding the button
will make CJ run but tapping it will make CJ sprint. NEVER SLOW DOWN
FOR BREATH! It's you or that bitch Cock.
--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.
**Why in god's name would you attempt this mission if you had a hard
time with the "SUPPLY LINES" mission for Zero?
--GAMBLING - "How you like me NOW!"
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
The Casino Floor
Now that I think about it, every casino in Las Vegas should have James
Brown music playing in the background.
--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%.
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. There are over 70 USJ's and are pretty tricky to find.
LOS SANTOS COUNTY JUMPS (28 jumps total):
El Corona 1
Conference 1
Willowfield 2
Jefferson 3
Ocean Docks 4
East Beach 2
LS Airport 3
Market 1
Mulholland 3
Rodeo 1
Vinewood 1
Commerce 1
Montgomery 1
Santa Maria Beach 1
Fisher's Lagoon 1
Dillimore 1
Palomino Creek 1
SAN FIERRO COUNTY JUMPS (30 jumps total):
Mount Chiliad 1
Angel Pine 1
Whetstone 1
Blueberry 5
Panopticon 2
Santa Flora 1
San Fierro 1
Downtown 1
Battery Point 1
Esplanade East 1
Doherty 2
Juniper Hollow 1
Carlton Heights 1
Juniper Hill 1
Financial 1
Easter Basin 1
EB Airport 2
Foster Valley 1
Las Pasyadas 2 (jumping over a large chicken!)
Verdant Meadows 1
Arca Del Oeste 1
Valle Ocultado 1
LAS VENTURAS COUNTY JUMPS (12 jumps total):
Emerald Isle 5
The Camel's Toe 2
Creek 1
Redsands West 2
Julius Thruway Freeway past Emerald Isle 1
Randolph Industry 1
That's all 70 jumps. Each successful jump garners you $500 each time.
The amount will never go higher than that.
-----------------------------------
MISSIONS ON AN UNDERCOVER COP
There are 187 missions in the entire game can you believe it? Each Main
story and Side mission that is percentage equivalent adds up 0.53% to
the 100% total in the menu for each mission passed. This means you get
1 full percentage point for passing every two missions.
All Time-killers are exempt from the fraction. I won't break it down
but you get the idea.

Liberty City Mod for PC.
************************
100% COMPLETION JUNK
************************
So you read this long-ass FAQ but you only wanted to know one thing:
what the hell do you get for beating GTA: San Andreas, right? Well,
I'll tell you!
Here's what you get:
--Cash and stats are boosted
--Hydra Fighter Jet spawns on the roof of Sweet's house (you gotta see
it to believe it!)
--Rhino Tank spawns under the bridge across CJ's house on Grove Street
--Infinite Ammo (although it doesn't tell you)
I went all over San Andreas to see the benefits of achieving 100% and
guess what, YOU DON'T GET SHIT! No extra stuff or additional junk!
Unless you REALLY need some Military vehicles at Grove Street, don't
rush yourself to get 100% like I did (that's just my suggestion).
***********************
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
***********************
Due to the overwhelming amounts of e-mails I've been receiving
regarding gameplay, it has been impossible for me to answer every one
of them. So I decided to post the most asked questions in this section
to clarify the FAQ and put a few rumors to rest.
Q: If I use cheat codes, will it affect my save?
A: There are some codes that cannot be deactivated once entered (like
riot mode). The codes affect the overall game but NOT the save itself.
Whoever started this "using cheat codes affects your percentage"
bullshit should be shot in the forehead for being so goddamn stupid! I
used cheats in all three GTA games and I STILL got 100%, so there you
go! Go ahead and use all the codes you want. It worked for me and it
should work for you!
**I'm sure there is a game-stopping cheat out there but I haven't seen
one and I mock you if it's happened to you. This is me laughing at you.
Q: Do I need to pass all the schools with GOLD for 100%?
A: No. As long as you pass all the tests with Bronze, you'll be fine.
But to unlock more cool stuff, pass them with SILVERS or GOLDS.
Q: I can't fly my airplane high enough! Why?!?
A: When you takeoff from the ground, press the R3 button to put up the
landing gear. This will take weight off the plane and allow it to gain
altitude. If only this were the case for that damn Hydra Fighter Jet!
Q: I skipped all the "Yay courier" missions from Cesar because I'm busy
doing other shit! Am I screwed from percentage?
A: NO, absolutely NOT! You can skip all his calls and still get 100%. I
have double and triple-checked and it's true! Go ahead and breathe that
sigh of relief!
Q: Do I really need to steal $10,000 worth during Home invasions?
A: No, you DO NOT need to do Home Invasions. Unless you really need
some cash, don't bother with this. I repeat, DO NOT DO HOME INVASIONS!
Q: How do I recruit gang members?
A: First, you need Respect in the Respect meter to even recruit anyone.
CJ can start recruiting a 3-man gang if he has around 1%-5% Respect in
the meter.
To recruit, target (press R1) a Grove family member in green and press
UP on the D-Pad. If done correctly, you'll hear CJ say "Grove Family
for life! You down?", or something similar to that.
Q: How do I get the keycard from Millie faster?
A: Exploit her weakness for punishment! As soon as you pass the "KEY TO
HER HEART" mission, quickly dash over to the save house in Prickle Pine
and put on the Gimp suit. Quickly get back over to her house to trigger
the "special date" (the red marker should still be there). Doing this
will raise her progress bar to 30%.
Immediately go back to the save house again and put on the Gimp suit.
Go back to her house at 12:00 the very next day and SHE WILL BE THERE!
Trigger the "special date" and the progress bar will go up to 50%. As
soon as the "date" is over, CJ will be standing outside her house. Stay
there for a few seconds and Millie will call CJ and allow him to get
the keycard. See how easy this was!
Q: I finally got the keycard from Millie. Now what?
A: Be sure you finished the "UP, UP, AND AWAY" and "SAINT MARK'S
BISTRO" mission. If that doesn't work then I don't know what to tell
you.
Q: Do girlfriends count towards 100%?
A: Technically, no. But you need to pass the "BURNING DESIRE" mission
(with Denise) and the "KEYCARD TO HER HEART" (with Millie) to get
percentage. The other four girls are only for playas!
Q: Why can't I do the Triathlon?
A: You can only do the Triathlons on Saturday or Sunday and if you have
enough muscle on that skinny gangsta ass. Once you get some muscle and
stamina, head to the red marker at the beach on the required day. Good
luck beating that cock-smoking cock!
Q: Do you have any tips for the "SUPPLY LINES" mission for Zero?
A: NO! I passed this mission the hard way so I can't give any helpful
tips. The strategy I posted is what other players have said is the best
way. If it doesn't work for you then I don't know what to tell you
because nothing I say can make this mission ANY EASIER!
Q: What is the name of the GTA3 guy?
A: SPOILERS! After the "END OF THE LINE" mission, CJ will receive a
gratuitous phone call from Catalina. She screams the name "Claude" in
mid-orgasm on the phone while CJ screams "CATALINA, YOU SICK!"
(GTA-producer Dan Houser confirmed that was his name.)
Q: Where do I find Bigfoot and Leatherface?
A: What the hell is this Bigfoot and Leatherface shit? I've played this
game for almost 200 hours and have never encountered this. Can someone
clear this up for me because I don't get it!
Q: Do you have a shorter, printer-friendly version of this guide?
A: Yes, I do. Scroll down the FAQ to find it.
Q: I can't find a certain Oyster, Horseshoe, Tag, Photo Op!
A: E-mail me and I'll explain how I can help you find it.
Q: I can't workout in the gym no more! What the hell do I do? CJ's
gonna become too fat! I HATE FATTY!!!!
A: Believe me, I've been getting numerous questions regarding the
"You've worked out enough for today" problem. It seems that after
finishing the "END OF THE LINE" mission, CJ cannot go to the gym
anymore. I have NO IDEA why this happens. I've checked my 100% game
save and it works fine. I'll try to figure this out but for now, try to
keep CJ fit by running around.
Q: Why is Madd Dogg such a bitch and keeps jumping off the ledge before
I catch him?
A: I have no idea why this happens. I've done the "MADD DOGG" mission
4-5 different times and he would wobble left to right for 10 seconds
before he would jump and I ALWAYS caught him. I have no real
explanation why he would jump before the cutscene ends. Just keep
trying until you finally catch his dumb ass.
Q: I'm stuck at 99.47%! What the hell am I missing?!?
A: Sorry, I REALLY can't help you there. But I've made a solution. I
have a 99.47% game save available for download. Read the "ULTIMATE GAME
SAVE" section below for more details.
************************
THE ULTIMATE GAME SAVES
************************
Instead of going to Grove Street to start the first mission "BIG
SMOKE", I decided to accomplish a few goals. I wanted to get all the
ODD JOBS and various missions out of the way so that I don't have to do
them later. This is my ultimate game save and I am making it available
for download for everyone who hates doing these missions.
REMEMBER! I HAVE NOT STARTED THE FIRST STORY MISSION YET!
Here's a list of things that I have accomplished:
SAVE HOUSES PURCHASED
All six save houses in Los Santos purchased. (These six are the only
ones that are made available for purchase this early in the game.)
ITEMS FOUND
--All 100 Tags
--All 50 Photo Ops
--All 50 Horseshoes
--All 50 Oysters
Access to all the unlocked weapons is available at anytime.
CHALLENGES COMPLETED
--BMX Challenge
--NRG-500 Challenge
--Chiliad Challenge
Yes, I completed all three Chiliad Challenges for you. Now you don't
have to worry about it anymore.
ARENA MISSIONS DONE
--8-Track - Monster truck and Hotring Racer unlocked
--Blood Bowl - Bloodring Banger unlocked
--Kickstart - Dune vehicle unlocked
--Dirt Track - BF Injection unlocked
You can access these unlocked vehicles anytime you reach the arenas.
R3 MISSIONS FINISHED
--Ambulance - 150 Health unlocked
--Vigilante - 150 Armor unlocked
--Taxi - 5X Nitrous unlocked
--Pimping - Girl service all the time!
--Firefighter - Fireproof unlocked
The only thing you need to do is the FREIGHT TRAIN mission. It's not
available until you unlock all three counties.
HITMAN LEVEL ACHIEVED
--Colt Pistol - Dual abilities unlocked
--Silenced Pistol
--Desert Eagle
--Tec-9 - Dual abilities unlocked
--Micro-SMG - Dual abilities unlocked
--SMG
--Sawn-Off - Dual abilities unlocked
--Chrome Shotgun
--SPAS-12
--AK-47
--M4
I've unlocked HITMAN level for every weapon in the game. This will make
all missions easier. You are guaranteed a ONE-HIT KILL with each
weapon!
COURIER ASSETS ACQUIRED
--Los Santos
--San Fierro
--Las Venturas
I've finished all the Courier missions in each county. Go to any of the
courier locations to pick up assets whenever you need extra cash.
SKILLZ ACCOMPLISHED
--MAX Driving
--MAX Cycling
--MAX Biking
--MAX Flying - AIRCRAFTSMEN rank (can access all three airports
and all planes anytime except San Fierro Airport)
--MAX Lung Capacity
--MAX Stamina - never get tired from running
--MAX Muscle - challenge the trainers in the gym
--Gambling skills - WHALE rank (you can borrow a million dollars from
the casino and gamble at any table without being rejected anytime)
PAPER MADE
--Over $6 and half million dollars in CJ's pocket! This is more than
enough money to purchase everything in the game. I actually had $15
million but I blew it all at the Blackjack tables.
APPEARANCE
--Over 20% Respect gained so far (CJ can recruit a 4-man gang)
--CJ is decked out in his white tank top, jogging shorts and shoes
(obtained from the Chiliad Challenge).
--CJ is also sporting tattoos all over his body (there is a tattoo shop
in Las Venturas that is open this early in the game).
--CJ is equipped with the following weapons: Brass knuckles, Katana,
Desert Eagle, SPAS-12, SMG, Heat Seeking Missile Launcher, Sniper
Rifle, Camera, Molotovs, and a Bouquet.
Finishing all these things is worth 13% Completion but it's the most
critical 13% you'll need (in order to get 100%).
NO CHEATS WERE USED TO MAKE THIS SAVE! I've read in various places that
people that have downloaded game saves for GTA: SA from different sites
have all had cheats used in one way. NOT THIS ONE!
The game save is now available for download at GameFAQs. Head over
there and download it! Use the Action Replay Max Drive to uncrush the
compressed file to your Memory Card. Your welcome.
**I also have a 99.47% game save available. For this save, just go to
Sweet's house to trigger the last mission "END OF THE LINE". You will
get 100% once you finish the mission. Easy, right?
For some reason, GameFAQs WILL NOT accept this game save! But it
doesn't matter. If you want this save, pass me an e-mail.
AND NOW.....
