Achievement Guide

[Nightdragon]

Heya Khaos nice guide!!

I've written a mini guide for the "Under the Radar" achievement as I got the achievement recently!!

In spoiler tags to reduce post size/any story elements.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Under The Radar Fly underneath the main bridges in the game that cross water with a helicopter. 40 First, you are going to need a helicopter, you need to either steal a tour helicopter or go for a heli ride with Brucie after he becomes a "dateable" friend. Alternatively you could steal a police heli from the northern part of the airport, but this will net you some un-needed wanted stars. There are 14 Bridges that are needed for this achievement. When you pass under a required bridge, trophies appear to indicate the location of all other required bridges (but only for a limited period). See this map for locations (red circles) Helicopter Control Tips: -Ascend using the until at a reasonable height above the water and a few hundred metres from the bridge. -Hold forward on the to start the helicopter moving forward, then release the -Descend using the , you will still be travelling forwards -Once under the bridge, you should have enough forward momentum to take you under, use to descend and to ascend as you move under the bridge to avoid hitting the water or the underside of the bridge. Low Bridge tips: This bridge only took me one attempt, but was hard nether the less. The trick is to hover the helicopter's "feet" in the water as you move very slowly forward. Because this bridge is so low and there is not much of a run-up, you will need to control your speed using the BEFORE attempting to go under. Its currently unconfirmed whether you need to pass under them all in one flight or if it can be split, as I achieved this in one attempt. Any responses would be appreciated.

Khaos, u want a Fly the co-op guide? or u already working on it?

[Lonsta DaMonsta]

Hey Khaos, two things:

Quickest way to get 4 stars for the Walk Free achievement: Go to the internet cafe and type in: www.Littlelacysurprisepageant.com in the address bar. Right when you exit the building, you'll have 4 stars. And personally, I had a fast car awaiting for me and I just jetted out of there towards long highways and lost them pretty quick!

2nd, for the Liberty City Minute achievement, think you could post a list of the missions we have to do, in order to eliminate unneeded missions, and more tips, such as whether or not it would be faster to use cabs and skip or to drive ourselves, etc.

U actually press , TRY NOT TAPPING IT AND TIMING IT CORRECTLY. It gets easier the more u do it

Impossible Trinity:

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

This is a mission from Ray, you get it after getting the ice (diamonds) back from the 3 trash guys who conned you out of them. You go to the museum to exchange the diamonds for 2 million dollars. but the exchange is ambushed by a currently unknown (to me) party. It's your average "Use the cover system to kill everything" mission. When you get out, there will be 2 cars outside the park, each with a driver and 1 gunner, and 2 goons will run out into another car. Try to kill the drivers of the car before you even consider driving off, then take out the helpless gunner. Lose any wanted level, drive away from the park and the achivement is yours.

Cut Your Teeth:
Simple, just get enough kills, wins, whatever in ranked matches to earn $1000 online. this will promote you to rank 1

Top Of The Food Chain:
Best to do this on the map "statue of Happiness" with weapons set to pistols, 1 second spawn, and about 20 minutes time limit. should be able to get 20 pistol kills easy this way

The teamplayer achievement must be achieved in one lifespan. That's how I got it anyway...

Can anyone confirm this? I don't doubt it considering I killed well over 5 players in a single multiplayer team match, but I didn't receive the achievement.

[ADE Ot4kud4m]

About the ach "Top of the food chain" I have to kill 20 peoples with pistol in a Deathmatch or in a Team Deathmatch? 'cause I kill 22 peoples with a pistol in a Team Deathmatch but haven't unlocked the ach...
then to unlock "Teamplayer" ach I had to kill 8 players (not only 5...) before it poped-up...

Blind was refering to the same thing I was and it appears to have been fixed. Instead of spoiler tags on the story achievements, there was a link that went to an area of the board that at least me and him were unauthorized to view.

[tremberz]

Note re: Driving Mr. Bellic

You can press the X button while in the cab to request the driver to hurry up, and still get the achievement. When I took my first cab ride, there was a traffic jam and the driver wasn't doing anything to go around so I hit X to make him hurry up and he just plowed right through the other cars, and blew through all the intersections. Still was a long ride, but it was fun seeing the city from the perspective of being in the back of the cab.

This achievement is most easily achieved at the beginning of the game, before any additional islands have been unlocked. First, get on the train tracks that go under the Algonquin Bridge. The easiest on-ramp is on the eastern side of the island, near where you find your cousin Roman in the mission "Bleed Out." Once on the tracks, head west towards the middle island. Provided you have not yet unlocked the island, when you get about halfway across the bridge, you will receive a 6 star wanted level. However, you are safe here because the police cars and helicopters cannot get to you here, however, swat team climbers can. So take your time, continuing onto the second island will bring you into the underground subway tunnels, again, where the police cannot find you. Once 5 minutes is up, and as soon as your wanted level goes away (either by dying or by evading) the achievement will unlock.

Another way is get a helicopter (before you unlock all the islands) and then just fly over onto the second or third island and then you will get a 6 star wanted level. Then you just fly around for 5 minutes.

Here is the helicopter method in action (kinda):

this video from over at IGN shows how to do this alot easier

I really don't find it easy to read the mini-pictures of the buttons.

Bowling: I did what you said and I don't get strikes every time.

Roman's cab service is actualy labeled Car Service in the phone, not Cab service.

[mentaljason]

Is there any point to doing taxi missions for your cousin? I did 10 thinking there was but realized there seems to be no achievement. So does it count toward 100%?
