What They Do Not Want You To Know

Check out this discussion forum What They Do Not Want You To Know. Maps to a bunch of hidden GTA4 goodies!

Go to an Internet café and log onto the web. In the browser’s address bar, input the website www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com. A "secret" message board appears. The posters on this forum have discovered many hidden objects around Liberty City, including the locations of random characters and Stevie’s vehicle wants (both shown earlier in this game guide).

We’ve included some of these maps in this game guide so you can reference them as you search for hidden items throughout the game. Use the location descriptions for both the hidden characters and Stevie’s vehicles along with the maps to find them all—earn your achievements and make progress toward 100% game completion!

Stunt Jumps and Pigeons

Stunt Jump Locations.

Hidden Pigeon Locations #1.

Hidden Pigeon Locations #2.

If you’re going for 100% game completion then you’re going to need to locate all stunt jumps and pigeons hidden throughout Liberty City. This is a daunting task but thankfully the good users at the in-game website What They Do Not Want You To Know have provided maps for finding these plentiful and scattered hidden items.

There are a staggering 200 pigeons in the game and around 50 stunt jumps to find. The pigeons look just like pigeons with a slight red glow to help you find them; also listen for the familiar pigeon sound as you get close. If you manage to find all 200, you not only gain progress toward 100% completion but you also unlock an Annihilator helicopter on the helipad. Recognize stunt jumps by, well, the presence of the ramp. In order to complete a stunt jump you must successfully make the leap and the landing. If you see "not good enough" then you’ll have to try again.

Hidden Health and Armor

Health Locations.

Armor Locations.

You can replenish health by eating—just grab a hot dog from a stand or head into a diner for a burger—or drinking a soda from a drink machine. Taking a nap in the safehouse also restores your health. However, there are also health kits scattered around Liberty City if you want another quick fix. If you need extra protection, drive over to a weapon shop and purchase body armor. Or, once again, you can find hidden body armor scattered around the streets of Liberty City.

Checking the in-game website www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com and you can find the maps for all the hidden health kits and body armor power-ups found in Liberty City. We’ve included these maps in this guide to help you locate these items. Knowing the closest boost of health or armor could mean the difference between life and death!

All This…and a T-Shirt Too?

Get over to Happiness Island—it’s in the southern corner of the map. It’s basically the Statue of Liberty in Liberty City. An easy way to get there is to go to the heli-tours on Algonquin and steal a maverick helicopter. Fly over to Happiness Island and land at the backside base of the statue. Go up the stairs and enter the door at the base. After a brief load, you emerge with a brand new t-shirt. The front says "Happiness is…" and the back says "…land".

Take the same heli-tour maverick and fly toward the statue itself. Hover near the statue’s feet, particularly the foot that’s behind the other. Position the chopper so the driver’s side is adjacent to that area next to the back foot. Exit the chopper! You’ll drop out and tumble down onto an upper ledge of the statue. There are four doors here. Check the back door. There’s a plaque that says "No Hidden Content This Way" on either side of the door. Go through the door—literally—and climb the ladder inside. At the top you discover the beating heart of Liberty City.

It’s the Little Details

Here are some additional tips and tricks and other hidden details that you shouldn’t miss during your time in Liberty City! The details in Grand Theft Auto IV are infinite. Don’t be surprised if you’re still noticing little things dozens and dozens of hours into the game.

• Check out the television in your safehouse for a variety of amusing programming. The show "Republican Space Rangers" seemed especially familiar. Those space suits look very similar to another big blockbuster game I know. Was that a halo the space rangers flew through at one point? Also check out the commercials for some familiar Rockstar landmarks.
• Do you want an instant five-star wanted level? Head to an Internet café and access the terminal. Go to the website www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com. You’re redirected to a page by the LCPD and the police are automatically notified. Instant five-star wanted level! Might want to start running.
• Date all of the online girls at once. Wine and dine them and make sure you "try your luck" and succeed. Then just sit back and ignore them and watch the text messages pour in. At first they’re "sweet" and a tad bit suggestive. But just keep ignoring them for a long time and some will start to lose their patience. It is kind of fun to wait until the girlfriends are mad and then take them out and get them drunk. Although Carmen is a crazy drunk even when she likes you!
• Go over to the sold carnival—the one that Michelle wanted to try out and instead decided to go bowling. There’s a miniature golf course here. Some of the items on the course should look familiar to long-time fans of the Grand Theft Auto series.
• While riding in a taxi or driving your own car, take the opportunity to listen to the news reports on the radio. You’ll often hear details on your recent exploits or other elements of the game, such as your dealings with the random character Eddie Low.
• Next time you’re in an Internet café, check out the LCPD website at www.libertycitypolice.com. Access the database by clicking on the link at the bottom of the homepage. You can now browse the criminal database. It features many of the characters from the single-player storyline. Read on for additional background information. Hey look, you’re in there too! Looks like you’re wanted for Grand Theft Auto. No big surprise there!
• Whistle for a taxi and get in. Change the radio station and Niko actually asks the driver if he can change the radio station. You may even hear the driver’s opinion of your chosen music.
• Before you complete your date with French Tom in the Out of the Closet story mission, check out your love-meet.net profile. After the mission, check it again and see that you’ve updated the profile to better describe what you’re looking for in love. Good thing too cause I think there are some lucky ladies out there looking for a match.
• Have you been causing a ruckus on the city streets? You might overhear a pedestrian dialing 911…because of you!
• Visit a Cluckin’ Bell and look at the little karate-pose action figure display on the walls. Apparently this toy’s name is Cluck Norris. Nice!
• Are you bored with your cell phone’s ring tone? After get an upgrade from Playboy X, go to an Internet café and check out www.vipluxuryringtones.com.
• Grand Theft Auto IV has incredible weather effects. There are great details in the wet road, the raindrops, and the thunder and lightning. But it’s how the non-player characters—and even Niko himself—react in the rain that might be the greatest details of them all. Watch as people cover their head, use and lose umbrellas, and how Niko wipes the water off his head and jacket.
