Grand Theft Auto 4 Guide - Finale

Warning ... Container spoiler at the end.

This is the tail end of the GTA IV storyline. Complete Gambetti's mission line to trigger the first mission.

Mission 1: That Special Someone

Make your way to Hove Beach back in Broker and pick up Roman at the marked location. Then, travel to the rendezvous point at the Francis International Airport to trigger a cutscene. Your choice to kill Darko Brevic or let him live will only effect the dialogue afterwards, so do what you will with him. Once you've made your decision, drive Roman to Brucie's place to complete the mission.

Darko

Mission 2: One Last Thing...

Shortly after “That Special Someone,” you will get a call from Jimmy Pegorino; he needs to speak with you. Travel to the Honkers club in Tudor, Alderney and hit the marker there to trigger a cutscene.

Just a heads up: there are two different endings, and the ending you unlock is determined by a choice you will have to make shortly. If you wish to see both endings without having to play through all of the missions a second time, create a separate save file after the cutscene.

Now you must choose between “Deal” and “Revenge.” Travel to the marker of your choosing to trigger that mission. What you choose to do will affect the ending. If you need to know how the ending will be affected based on your decision, scroll down to the bottom of this page, but only if you're okay with having the ending spoiled.

Deal: If the Price is Right

If you chose to listen to Roman and work for Dimitri, travel to the “Deal” marker in Tudor, Alderney to meet with Phil Bell. If you aren't well-suited, pick up some Body Armor and a Carbine Rifle with plenty of ammo before you begin. Get in a car with Bell and drive to the nearby docks. Once you're inside, hit the marker to trigger a brief cutscene. Afterwards, get out of the car and follow Bell up the nearby ladder. Follow him across the rooftop and drop down the skylight after him.

Docks

Skylight

The office with the cash is at the other end of the building, and unfortunately there are about four dozen enemies between here and there. However there is plenty of cover in the warehouse and if you are outfitted with a Carbine Rifle, dealing with these enemies should not prove too difficult. There's no time limit, so no need to rush. You can zoom in with your weapon by clicking the Right Thumbstick/Right Analog Stick; by doing this and crouching at the same time, your shots should be quite accurate granted you are using a Carbine Rifle. Kill as many enemies as you can from the upper walkway before moving down to the walkway below. Once you're on the ground floor it's just about moving between cover to clear the enemies around you until you reach the midpoint. There is a health pack next to a pillar in the middle of the warehouse, so pick it up if needed.

Cover

Follow Bell up onto the walkway at the other end of the room and take out the enemies along there. The office door is at the far end of the walkway. The buyer takes off with the money, forcing you to chase after him. Get back down to the ground floor and get in one of the vehicles parked outside. The buyer chooses to use a bulky truck as a getaway vehicle, so catching up with him won't be a problem. Drive to the left of the truck to give Bell a shot at the driver through the window, or aim and take him out yourself. When the buyer is down, collect the money and drive Phil back to Tudor to complete the mission, earning a substantial monetary reward in the process.

Mission 3: Revenge: A Dish Served Cold

If revenge is what you're after, travel to the “Revenge” marker in East Hook, Broker to get started. Bring along Body Armor and a Carbine Rifle with plenty of ammo because you're in for quite a firefight. When you reach the spot, you'll be given an overview of the situation. Dimitri's in the ship's hold and the doors to the hold are controlled from the bridge. So, you must first get to the bridge to open up the hold, allowing you to drop in and exact your revenge. There is a fairly heavy presence of goons aboard the ship, so Dimitri will be a bit hard to get at, but conveniently enough there is a Sniper Rifle on the nearby crane. Climb the ladders up to the vantage point and pick up the rifle that's there.

Crane

Sniper Rifle

Note that this thing isn't rife with ammo, nor are you invulnerable from this location, but you can at least take out a good number of the guys around the ramp if you're a good shot. Don't underestimate the range of the Carbine Rifle, either; click the Right Thumbstick/Right Analog Stick to zoom in and crouch for a better shot. When the deck is relatively clear, climb down from your perch and step onto the ship. Once you're on the deck, it's just a matter of taking cover and picking off the enemies that remain. Afterwards, head to the doorway at the south end of the deck and eliminate the enemies in the cabin.

Interior

Goons

When the room is clear, climb up the stairs at the other end and take cover next to the corridor entrance. There are several enemies down this corridor, so make sure that they've all shown themselves before moving through. You can find Carbine Rifle Ammo through the first door on the left, and Body Armor through the second door on the right. At the other end of the corridor, step through one of the doorways and open fire on the enemies along the walkway. When the walkway is clear, climb up the steps to reach the bridge. Kill the guy inside, pick up the body armor, and then use the controls to open up the cargo hold.

Bridge

Controls

Enemies have spawned on the deck and on the walkways below you, so proceed with caution. Make your way over to the opening on the deck and drop through. You're dropping right into enemy territory, so take cover immediately. There is plenty of cover to choose from, and not very many enemies standing between you and Dimitri. There is a health pack at the north end of the hold; use it to patch yourself up, or note it for later use. Move up between cover and clear out the enemies around you, then move to back of the hold to confront Dimitri.

Cargo Hold

Hold

Be ready to take cover immediately following the cutscene, as Dimitri will send one last wave of goons your way. Kill off the goons—using the explosive tanks to your advantage—and then set your sights on Dimitri. You can take him out with a well-thrown Grenade if he's hiding behind cover, otherwise switch to a piece of cover that will allow you to get a bead on him and then fire away. After the brief cutscene, aim at Dimitri and pull the trigger when the reticule changes to perform a satisfying execution. Once you've exacted your revenge, make your way out of the hold and off of the ship to complete the mission.

Dimitri

Dimitri

Mission 4: Mr. & Mrs. Bellic

Put on your best suit and make your way to the church in Little Italy, Algonquin when the time comes. Watch the cutscene…
Endgame: A Revenger's Tragedy/Out of Commission

Make sure you have Body Armor and a Carbine Rifle before attempting this mission, as the two will make for a much easier time. Your target is either Pegorino or Dimitri here. Travel to Alderney City and get in the marked car with Little Jacob. Start following the goons, but not close enough to give the gunmen in the passenger's seat a shot at you. Remain at least three car lengths from the car to avoid getting hit by gunfire. You're in for a long drive, but eventually you will reach the spot in Westdyke, Alderney. There's a mess of enemies outside of the old casino where your target is holed up, and you're going to have to take them all out before heading inside.

Goons

Goons

Take out the enemies on the roof of the casino and as many of them as you can in the lot from behind the car before moving up to a different piece of cover. When the lot is clear, locate the hotel entrance and start picking off the enemies inside. There is a health pack next to the stairs that are to your left upon entering, so use it to patch yourself up when you have the chance. When the first room is clear, head through the doorway at the other end to trigger a cutscene.

Shootout

Health Pack

This is where things differ…
Deal: A Revenger's Tragedy

Head up the stairs after Dimitri, but don't charge through the door, as several goons are waiting on the other side. Dimitri isn't going anywhere, so take your time. Kill the two guys through the door, and then look to your right to spot two more guys up on the roof. Continue after Dimitri afterwards to spot him getting into a helicopter. After the cutscene, quickly swim over to the boat, get in the driver's seat, and start after Dimitri's helicopter. Be very careful, as rockets and gunfire will be sent your way. The rockets are easy enough to dodge, just keep an eye out for them and bank if one is about to hit the waters close to you.

Dimitri

You'll  be taking fire from one of Dimitri's goons if you are close enough behind the copter, but you must stay as close behind him as possible because eventually Little Jacob will show up in a helicopter of his own to rescue you. You must hit the marker beneath Jacob's helicopter before it disappears. It is a relatively small window of opportunity, so with any luck you're fairly close behind Dimitri's helicopter when Jacob shows up.

Dimitri

Helicopter

When you've gotten hold of the helicopter, mash the indicated button to pull yourself up. You'll then be in control of the helicopter. Keep up with Dimitri's helicopter until the inevitable crash on Happiness Island occurs. This is where you shall exact your revenge. Dimitri is denoted by the large, red circle on your radar, so avoid all other hostiles by running around them and towards Dimitri. When he finally stops running, stand your ground and hit him with everything you've got until he falls.

Dimitri

Head up the stairs after Pegorino, but don't charge through the door, as a couple of his goons are waiting for you on the other side. Pegorino isn't going anywhere, so you can take your time here. Kill the two guys outside the door, and then follow Pegorino down the ladder at the far end of the roof. Immediately take cover and pick off the goons along the street. Get to Pegorino's boat and hop on the motorbike on the beach. Now all you must do is follow the boat from the coastline. Eventually Little Jacob will appear overhead in a helicopter; speed up and hit the marked jetty to reach him.

Goons

Pegorino

When you've gotten hold of the helicopter, mash the indicated button to pull yourself up. You'll then be in control of the helicopter. Keep up with Pegorino until the inevitable crash on Happiness Island occurs. This is where you shall exact your revenge. Pegorino is denoted by the large, red circle on your radar, so avoid all other hostiles by running around them and towards Pegorino. When he finally stops running, stand your ground and hit him with everything you've got until he falls.

SPOILERS!

If you choose to make the deal with Dimitri, Roman will die during “Mr. & Mrs. Bellic,” but you will also earn $250,000. If you choose to get revenge on Dimitri, Kate will die during “Mr. & Mrs. Bellic.” Either way, you're going to lose someone. It's your choice, but if you're looking for authorial advice, keep Roman alive; you won't be able to make use of his free taxi ride call-in ability if he dies, and while losing Kate sucks, there are other datable girls in Liberty City.
