Back To The Hood
You’re back in your old haunt, but Los Santos isn’t quite the same as it was before...luckily for you, you’ll soon be reunited with your brother, who’ll help you through the endgame missions.
Sweet
Beat Down On B Dup
After you get the hood under control, it’s time to go after the source of the crack influx. The first mission Sweet has lined up for you isn’t too hard; all you have to do is initiate a gang war in Glen Park (which is indicated on your map with a green airplane, for some reason), take over the territory, then kill off all of B Dup’s guards before interrogating him.
Grove 4 Life
Now that you’ve got a bit of a foothold, you’ll have to expand your territory once again. This time you’ll be required to take over two territories in Idlewood. Don’t forget to bring along some bangers from Grove Street, and check around the area after your first takeover to locate armor and health pick-ups.
CJ
Vertical Bird
"You just have to steal a military jet off an amphibious vehicle, and use it to destroy a flotilla of spy ships." Nothing to it!
Although the game intimates that a stealth approach to infiltrating the aircraft carrier is best, ignore it and go in hog-wild. There are only five or six guards inside, and the interior spaces are quite large, so whip out your M4 or SMG and kill everyone before finding the SAM sites and disabling the ship’s defenses. When that’s done, grab a Hydra from the second floor of the ship and take to the skies.
The Hydra is unique in that it can flip between plane physics (by pressing forward on the right analog stick) and quasi-helicopter physics (by pulling back on the stick). Since you’re going to have to take down a few other fighter jets, you’ll want to be in plane mode at the outset.
There are three hostile planes to take down, but they should be relatively easy to deal with, so long as you fly around in circles and vary your altitude a lot. Keep your R1 key depressed while you’re flying, and as soon as you see a red targeting circle, start tapping away at L1 to fire off your rockets. Each plane will take a few blows before it goes down, but you probably won’t be taking any fire at all, so as long as you can avoid crashing, you should be golden.
The ships in the bay above the dam can be tricky to hit, but take the game’s advice and go into hover mode by clicking R3 before you attempt to kill them off. Do this when you’re well above the ground, though, as it can be difficult to gain altitude while you’re in hover mode. After all the ships are destroyed, get the plane back to the airstrip to finish the mission.
Home Coming
Now that Sweet’s out of prison, you’ll have to convince him that you still have respect for Grove Street by taking the territory back from the Ballas. After you arrive back at your house, you’ll need to initiate a gang war and survive three waves of incoming troops. This shouldn’t be too difficult - you can grab a Body Armor in Madd Dogg’s mansion before you begin the mission, if you don’t already have one, and you should have plenty of high-tech weapons and ammo. The most annoying aspect of it is the way that Sweet seems to enjoy walking in front of you when you’re trying to get a bead on the incoming Ballas.
After the Ballas are dead, track down and kill the crack dealers to end the mission. Before you do, though, move any cars that are in Smoke’s driveway, as you can sometimes spawn inside of them during the ending cutscene, which will force you to reload your game. Also note that you can save your game at CJ’s house by jumping through the mission circle in front of the door.
Cut Throat Business
This mission is seemingly unfailable. You’ll have to chase OG Loc on hovercraft, and then switch over to go-karts when he makes landfall. You can’t overtake him, or even come up alongside him for a drive-by, so just stay on his tail until you reach your destination.
