Episode 7 - Finding Rocky

This section provides complete walk-throughs for episode seven, Finding Rocky. This is the preferred mission path as you continue your investigation of Rocky.

Mission 1 - In the Driver's Seat

Objective: Drive to Destination. Solve Street Crimes (Optional).

The first mission of episode seven is a freeform driving mission. Take the chance to unlock any remaining upgrades. You should definitely have all of the fighting upgrades by this point and could also be well on your way to completing all shooting and driving upgrades. Solve some street crimes, earn points and badges, and visit the 24/7 facilities to unlock remaining upgrades.

Mission 2 - Pressing Rafferty

Objective: Fight Barkeep.

Battle the barkeep in the darkened establishment. He's a tough customer with six exclamation points to punch, kick, and jump kick through before you can unleash a finishing move combination. Failing to defeat the barkeep sends you into the alternate mission three. Defeat the barkeep and go directly to mission three.

Mission 3 - On Rafferty's Tail

Objective: Tail Rafferty.

You must follow the vehicle indicated on the mini-map by a red circle. If you fall too far behind (essentially the circle gets off of your mini-map and turns into an arrow indicating it's further off screen) for too long, the mission ends in failure. You will be warned you're falling behind and will need to speed up. Likewise, you can't follow too close or you'll raise the suspicions of the driver. There are five question marks in the upper corner of the screen. If you're too close, the question marks begin to light up. Light all five and you'll be detected.

Rafferty has a lead foot. He can easily get away from you if you aren't paying attention.

Strike a balance between too close and too far. It's not easy in this mission, though; Rafferty has a lead foot and can speed away very suddenly. If you have trouble following him, follow along the adjacent side street (just west of the street Rafferty initially turns down). Remember to be ready to brake at any time. Rafferty may happen upon some traffic or a stop sign and slow down to compensate. This is a long tail so just hang in there and keep his car on your mini-map without venturing too close. Fail this mission (Rafferty gets away) and go to mission five. If you're detected but you catch him, go to mission six. Otherwise, head into mission four.

Mission 3 (Alternate) - FBI Goons

Objective: Fight FBI Agents

Losing in the bar fight from mission two sends you behind the bar into another fight. It's the FBI agents and they aren't too pleased with your conduct thus far. Time for another hand-to-hand battle! Both FBI agents carry weaponry and possess five exclamation points to work through. Pound them with punches and kicks and use some of your finishing moves to complete the mission. Fail here and you're sent to mission six. Succeed and go to mission five.

Mission 4 - Escaping the Feds

Objective: Escape from Feds.

The feds aggressively pursue your vehicle. The more driving upgrades (including the bonus car upgrades) you have unlocked, the better. The key to evading the pursuers is frequent turns. Get onto side streets as soon as possible and avoid remaining in a straight line. Monitor the mini-map and turn away from your pursuers. The feds are very quick on the straight roads but likely won't be able to turn as quickly as you. Keep turning down narrow roads and put distance between you and the pursuing vehicles until you have evaded them. Fail to evade the feds and you're sent into mission six.

Mission 5 - Rafferty's Date

Objective: Tail Rafferty.

You've caught up to Rafferty once again and now he has an accomplice…or is she a date? This is another tailing mission. Follow Rafferty. Don't let him get too far away but don't follow too closely either! Monitor the gauge in the upper right corner. Keep the marker in the middle of the gauge. If you're too close to the top, Rafferty will grow suspicious and you might be detected. If you're too close to the bottom, Rafferty is pulling away and you might lose him. If you lose Rafferty, you move to mission seven. If you are detected and catch up to him or if you succeed, you enter mission six (though with different introductions).

Mission 6 - Eavesdropping

Objective: Sneak into Warehouse.

The first guard patrols around the crate to the right. When he turns away, disable him. Find the next guard around to the left. Move the camera to gain sight on him. When he turns away from you, disable him. Go to the right and around the crates. The next guard patrols near the wall. Take him out. His buddy stands just to the left past the barrels. Disable him and walk to the left. Watch for the patrolling guard ahead of you and disable him.

Follow around to the right and take out two more guards to the right. Make sure you get both. If you move left too quickly, you'll be detected. Find the green triangle marking the exit to the far left. Two more guards stand near the exit (just left of the exit). Hug the left crates to stay out of view. Get close and disable the two guards. Move on the green indicator to complete the level.

Mission 7 - Finale: Father's Killer

Objective: Shoot Rocky's Posse.

The upper catwalk offers an excellent vantage point on Rocky's posse (and the explosive barrels) below.

You have a great view from this catwalk--rain fire down on the posse below! Shoot the yellow barrels for additional explosive damage. Be on the lookout for additional enemies to appear across the warehouse (on the opposite catwalk), on the cranes), and from the left of your start position. If you're low on health, grab the kit off of the pillar to the left of your start position. Complete the mission (and the other episode's missions successfully) to enter the bonus stage. Otherwise, you're sent to crime patrol before the next episode.
