NOTE: Make sure you save after you do things! If you take Brucie out to the bar, then quit, the game won't remember you took him out! Before you stop playing make sure to save so you don't get stuck at 98% scratching your head and cluttering up the forum with questions about your game glitching.

NOTE #2: I'm only one man, and I'm not a developer for Rockstar, so if you see any mistakes, send me a PM. Only send me a PM if you're positive that I'm missing something or am incorrect about something. Also feel free to send me a PM if there are any spelling mistakes in my printable guides.

Update Log:
5/24 - Created and linked printable spreadsheets for all applicable items so it'll be easier for you to keep track of what you need to do.
5/27 - Added prerequisites to make random characters show up.
5/28 - Redid the Friends section as people were still getting confused.

90-94 missions?
I thought it was 94 no matter what for everyone. how can I get it to 90. Im trying to make Liberty City Minute achievement and if I can leave out 4 missions that would help a ton!!

[Pouper]

Great guide. Thank you

[Blackjaw x]

Very nice and clear, well done.

However, it contradicts what I heard before about having to beat each friend at each activity.
So, do you have to win or just play?

(Not that I ever lose anyway, it'd be nice to know :P)

[SolvingJunk]

In the beginning of the game there is a mission Roman gives you as you go on a date with Michelle. I you skip the mission to go on the date with michelle do you miss that mission and then cant get the 100%...

[Gun-Nut]

Must you beat friends at activities like Pool? or just play it with them?

Yes i skipped this at first but then reloaded just to make sure.

[spitefac3]

you have to actually beat each friend at each activity. i was missing 1.67% and had done every activity with every friend. then i took packie to play pool, won, and got the extra 1.67%

[aussiegamer]

This is good stuff. Really want to try and tackle this but i ponder wether or not i have the time/balls too.

[Smugu]

When i need to win each activity, does Roman count as a friend?

[she haunts me]

Nope, Roman or Dwayne's activities don't count towards 100%.

[Ramshackle71]

Cracking guide matey cheers, also gave me a chuckle when i looked at the spread sheet

GTA IV or Robin Hood?

lol, it says Little John not Little Jacob

[Smugu]

LOL. Thanks for the heads up! You can tell it was quickly made *goes to correct*

Also updated a few other things.

If anything's incorrect let me know, this information was compiled from a few different threads, so I'm going on what everyone else has said.

[Chorley]

amazing guide, think im just having trouble with finding brian for the third time, he's the last random character i need as i managed to off one of the random characters at an early stage.

[AntneyB]

Thank you so much i was stuck on 95% and wasnt sure what else i needed to do. it was the activities i didnt realise you had to do every one with each friend that was my last 5% and i can confirm you dont have to win on pool thanks again.

[neksus]

The only things I have left are the races, stunt jumps and the pigeons...with all those accounted that only puts me at 99% on the nose. Anybody know where 1% exactly could be hiding?

[AntneyB]

could be win pool,bowling or beat the high score on that arcade game :S

[she haunts me]

Thanks for breaking down the procedural mission percentages, razzleson. I wondered how much you got from each one. I'm at 91% and I'm about done with Stevie's cars which will give me 93. Then Brucie's exotic exports would give me 95. Then I'm off for pigeons and stunt jumps to complete it, so it seems I'm on track. Woot!

[Smugu]

Im also at 91% now, got to do Stevie's cars, Brucie races, stunts and pigeons.... 9% yessss im going to get 100% !

[Master Cube]

Sorry but that doesnt fit right?

for the percentage, you must complete all 22 missions.
Jeff, Cherise, Clarence, and Ivan do NOT count towards the percentage.

It´s conflicting!

[KingBroly]

This is exactly what I needed. All I need now is a guide on which vehicles I need for each stunt jump and I should be set. Also on where I need to land for some jumps because of them are really weird like that. Good news about Dwayne/Playboy/Roman not counting either.

[neksus]

I've won each activity against everybody. I've also done them with Roman and Dwayne to kill time :P
QUB3D is done as well. I do have a hunch, I'll get back to you if it flies.

i was at 99% too and found 2 more perverts, which finally gave me 100%.
maybe you missed 2 as well?

[neksus]

Perverts as in strangers?
I double checked them before coming back and actually missed Marnie #2 which gave me an extra .5%, but I'm still missing .5%

[CORPSE CRISIS]

thanks for the great guide razzleson..should help me and alot of people in the future..

[ImmortalLeoman]

Thanks for the spreadsheet. For Brucie, I have a Chopper activity where I fly the helicopter and the Heli Ride.

[Tyrannical Duck]

Quick question. When I take my friends to a show (comedy club, cabaret), do I have to watch them? The cabaret is unbearable to watch..

So, can I just skip it?

[Smugu]

Yeah you can but your friend is going to whine about it.

[Tyrannical Duck]

Haha oh well. I'd rather listen to them bitch and whine, then to listen to some whore on stage bitch and whine.
