The Truth
Body Harvest
When Tenpenny says jump, you say how high (for now, anyway), and, for the moment, he wants you to help the enigmatic stoner known only as The Truth. Truth wants a combine thresher for his farm, and since the only one around is tooling around on a survivalist retreat, guess who gets to retrieve it?
Said task is, as ever, easier said than done. The survivalists are armed with hunting rifles, and although they can only fire one shot at a time, those things sting. You’ll want to enter the farm in an enclosed vehicle, jacking one from the highway if necessary, then slam on the gas until you hit a wall. When you can’t go any further, get out of the car, jump the wall to the field, then jack the thresher and hit the road. You can’t be hurt while you’re in the combine, and it appears to be indestructible, so go crazy and mash up all the survivalists; just don’t get jacked out of it. Feel free to go off-road with the combine; the easiest route to Truth’s farm is actually straight south from the survivalist camp and over the cliff. The combine should right itself if you land funny, and Truth’s farm is only a short distance from the train tracks.
After you deliver the combine, Cesar will appear to give you missions back in Angel Pine.
Are You Going To San Fierro?
The Truth finally has your weed, and you finally have his money, so hook up with him to get the heck out of town. Things don’t go as planned - when have they ever? - as the cops arrive, forcing you and TT to burn all of his weed with flamethrowers. You have a surfeit of time here, so be thorough, and don’t roast any weed patches longer than you have to, or you might run out of ammo.
After the weed’s all burned, the police helicopter remains, but luckily, TT has an answer for that, too, in the form of your very first rocket launcher. Get as misty-eyed as you wish, but don’t dawdle too long; blast the chopper and get going to San Fierro.
Cesar
King In Exile
This isn’t much of a mission; although Cesar gives you some disturbing news, all you’ll be able to do afterwards is take another mission from Catalina.
Wu Zi Mu
This Chinese businessman sponsors racing around the back country, for some reason or another; since you’re always on the lookout for money, you can take a spin for a cool 5,000 dollars. If you do this mission after you get done with Catalina’s robbery missions, the Buffalo might not spawn at the hideout; if you have to run down to the highway, be on the lookout for Ranger-class cars, as they have both the mass required to knock other cars around and the stamina to survive a long race, which this surely is.
You’re going to want to take it slow during the first part of the race, until you cross underneath the bridge and get on solid ground. The only real sticking point here is the farm; after you find yourself on a ranch, you’ll want to avoid the tempting ramp in the middle of it, and instead veer off to the left or right to stay on solid ground. From there, keep working around the track until you hit a logging camp; you’ll double back to it up the twisting road nearby, and end the race inside of it.
