GTA 4: The Lost and the Damned Guide

Random Characters

There are two new Random Character encounters in The Lost and Damned. As you progress through the story, an icon denoting their location will appear on your map.

David

David can be encountered in The Exchange, which is in the southeast corner of Algonquin. David needs you to deal with a pesky lawyer who is threatening to expose him. After the cutscene, make your way to the red marker on the GPS to locate the lawyer. You have to chase him down and intimidate him by firing at his car. Just drive after him and continue shooting at his vehicle until he stops. Drive up to the parked car to trigger a cutscene.

Malc

1: You can first meet Malc in Northwood, which is in the northwest corner of Algonquin. Make sure you have a bike beforehand. Follow Malc to his friend DeSean, and then follow DeSean to where the cheating bikers are hanging out. When you reach the place, just fire at the explosive barrels that the bikers are standing by to wipe them all out.

2: Malc will appear again in Northwood, Algonquin sometime after the first encounter. Complete a few missions and the pedestrian icon should then appear on the map. Malc challenges you to a race. You’ll need a bike. When you have a bike, follow Malc to the starting line.

To win the race, you must hit the final checkpoint before any of the other bikers. The checkpoints appear on your radar, and inside of each checkpoint is an arrow pointing in the direction that the next checkpoint will be.

To use your bat during the race, press the X button to swing the bat to the left, and the B button to swing the bat to the right. Hold either button to perform a powered-up swing, capable of knocking a target off of their bike. Simply tapping the X or B button is not enough to send an opponent to the asphalt, although you may be able to set them off course that way. Be careful yourself, however, as the other bikers are armed with bats as well.
