0

Fed The Fish---------5G


Complete the mission "Uncle Vlad". This mission is a simple mission of gun slinging, driving and beat em up. Once you drop Vlad in the ocean and Niko finishes blabbing about why he cam to Liberty City you will receive you 5 gamerscore and a shiny new emblem for 'Feed The Fish'.

0

Impossible Trinity ---10G


Complete the mission "Museum Piece". This mission is slightly harder and definitely worth the 10G it is offering. Someones decides they also want the diamonds and things get interesting in the museum. You might have to try this mission a few times if you don't stick in cover and take your time taking out the enemies in your way.

That Special Someone--10G

Liberty City Minute----30G


NOTE: THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO PLAY THROUGH GTA 4'S STORYLINE AGAIN

Complete the GTA: IV storyline in under 30 hours.

Thanks to
Khaos at xbox360achievements.org he has given some helpful hints on getting this achievement

"Hints:
- If you skip cutscenes, you will save time BUT you'll miss the story. We advise you to enjoy GOTY!!!!!!
- Taxi journeys with the A skip are fantastic as they don't advance the clock. You can get from one side of the city to the other with the click of a button. Only the load times count.
- With autosave on, after every successful mission it saves. Which means if you fail or take too long on a mission, that you can just load the autosave and start at the end of the last mission.
- 94 missions in 30 hours equates to just over 3 missions an hour, therefore 20 mins a mission. Some are obviously shorter and some are obviously longer, but 30 hours is a doable figure.

A Run Through Example Times (without skipping cutscenes or phone calls):
15 Missions Complete - 2 Hours 9 Minutes 18 Seconds
30 Missions Complete - 4 Hours 37 Minutes 45 Seconds
45 Missions Complete - 8 Hours 1 Minute 42 Seconds
60 Missions Complete - 12 Hours 34 Minutes 19 Seconds
75 Missions Complete - 15 Hours 59 Minutes 37 Seconds
94 Missions Complete - 20 Hours 47 Minutes 1 Second

1 Hour Mark - 7 Missions Complete.
5 Hour Mark - 33 Missions Complete
10 Hour Mark - 51 Missions Complete
15 Hour Mark - 71 Missions Complete
20 Hour Mark - 90 Missions Complete"

Activities

The four activities Achievements involve the activities you can do while in the world of GTA IV. From pool to bowling Liberty City has it all well four of them and they are quite easy to get. No. 16-19 on the list located at the top of the page

One Hundred And Eighty--10G


In a darts game score 180 with 3 darts.

This one is quite simple yet it may take a few times to do it. Just go to the bar where the dartboard is on your map. you don't have to do this with a friend but if you do it with a friend then you can boost your friends like % and possibly help towards "Liberty City (5)". Walk into the bar and start the game using the 'Left Bumper'
. If you have never played darts before then you may actually need to know how to play.

Here's a helpful guide from
xbox360achievements.org:

"The particular game played in the pubs is "301" which means that both players start at 301, and work their way down to 0. You need to hit 0 exactly, if you go over (under) you will bust and have to try again.

On the board you will notice 20 slices each worth a different number of points. Shoot the dart into a slice, and you will knock that amount of points off your total on your way down to zero. Along the outer rim of the board, you will notice a ring. This ring is worth double. So if you're shooting at a 20, and your dart lands in the double ring, it's worth 40. Likewise, you will notice an inner ring, which is worth triple points (and the one needed for this achievement).
As you work your way down to zero, you need to keep in mind that your final dart that brings you exactly to zero must be shot into the doubles ring in order for you to win.

For example, if you have 13 points, shooting a 13 will bust your score (no double), as well as shooting a 14 will (going over). An example of a winning set for a 13 score would be to shoot a 3, and then a double 5 for your final dart."

So shoot into the inside ring on the 20 wedge 3 times and this should unlock.

Pool Shark-------------10G


Beat a friend at pool.

Completely Simple Achievement but a gain may take a few attempts. Once again phone up a friend and ask them to play pool with you. Once you've picked them up the place will be on you map so drive them there. Once at the Pub just start up the game and beat the friend you are versing. If you don't know how to play here is a breif description from
xbox360achievements.org:

"
In essence, one player shoots the striped balls in, the other shoots the solids, and once a player has their balls sunk, they may shoot for the 8-ball. When the 8 is pocketed after all other balls are, that player wins. However, if the 8 is pocketed before the rest of your balls, you lose.

When it's your turn, you will see a dotted white line coming from your ball. This is the path your ball will take when you shoot. The computer actually does a very good job of lining the shots up for you. If you do no aiming, take the shot that it gives you, you should make the ball almost every time.

When you are looking down the path your ball will take, press
 to enter shooting mode. Now pull back to pull the stick back, and push it forward to shoot. Those are the basics you will need to win the game. Almost all advanced billiards mechanics such as English are included in the game, but to obtain the achievement you shouldn't need to worry about those things.

If you find yourself struggling, as is stated, one of the main rules of billiards is if you shoot the 8 ball early, you lose, so wait and eventually an opponent may shoot that ball in for you, granting you an automatic win."

Just try your best and you should have it in no time.

King of QUB3D---------15G


Beat th
e High Score in QUB3D.
QUB3D is a type of Arcade machine scattered around the Islands in Liberty City. The best places to find it is in the Strip Club on The mini island above the First Island and in the little pub where you can play pool with your friends.
The main point of Qub3d is that blocks will fall from the top to the bottom much like Tetris, and you need to get similar colors to land so that 4 blocks of the same color are connected, and then that color block will disappear.The High Score shown when you go into the machine is 10,950 which is quite a high score but not impossible to get. It took me around 3 minutes to net 11,000 points. don't worry about getting any higher than 11,000 because it accounts to nothing. as soon as you pass the 10,950 then let yourself die and only once you have died and left the game will the achievement pop up. Good Luck

Gobble Gobble--------10G


Score 3 strikes in a row, a turkey, in 10-pin bowling.
If GTA IV's bowling mechanic was well built and easy to use then i would say that this achievement was easy to get. Unfortunately i didn't look at walkthroughs for help and spent about $1000 and 3 hours with my Girlfriend bowling. But as most walkthroughs tell you and as i found out there is a sure fire way to get three strick is a row.

It doesn't matter if you play a half game or a full game but a full game gives you a better oppurtunity as if you get two strikes then your game ends it doesn't carry over. When you get to the bowling alley walk to the 1st lane on the left.
Wait till Niko gets the ball. Hold the 'Left Stick'  to the left, till Niko does 2 whole steps to the left. This is important to do or he will not be lined up properly. Press 'A' to get into shooting position. Push the 'Right Stick'   down for 1 second (if you bring it back too soon, you will throw the ball too fast and you won't get the strike), then push it back up. I find by putting the stick in the middle of a flat palm and moving it back and forward straight away also works. When pushing it forward, try to push it straight up, and just a hair to the right. Repeat 2 more times in a row for the achievement.

It is hard but can be done if you follow those steps.

Odd Job / Side Missions

These Odd Jobs are given out by friends through cell phone or email and Side Missions are random things you can do throughout the game at anytime. These achievements are hard work but count towards your 100% completion of Grand Theft Auto IV. These achievements are No. 20-28 in the list at the top of the page.
0

Courier Service------10G


Complete all 10 package delivery jobs.These are Little Jacob's side missions, he wants you to deliver some 'Product' for him.

This is quite easy and there are only 10 so it won't take you much time to do. Just phone Jacob up when you feel like it and he will give you directions to his car where he has stashed the 'product'. Luckily the car is always in the same place so if you remember where it is then you can get there faster by already being on your way. You can use the car to help you get to the places but that makes the missions quite difficult. The best form of transport is the taxi. Hail a taxi after phoning Jacob and get him to drop you at the car. as soon as you get out hail the taxi again. It will wait there for a while. Get into the marked car then as soon as your in get out and run to the taxi. get in the taxi and give him the directions to the objective and press 'A' to skip. Get out and deliver the package. There are three types of drops. Timed: where you have a certain amount of time to get to the buyer before he leaves. Eliminate: Where you have to eliminate some gang members who "knew" where the hiding spot was and then Evade: where you have to lower your wanted level and evade the police. These are all quite easy just make sure you have some weapons anytime you do this mission just incase the you get the gang member one.

Order Fulfilled--------10G


Complete all 10 Exotic Export orders.

These are Brucie's Odd Jobs and are quite easy. Just get your middle eastern but down to the internet cafe (tw@) and log in to the emails. when Brucie sends you one just click on the reply button. on your map will be shown the exact location. just drive to the location and pick up the car/bike. you may have to steal it off people or in front of the cops so be on your toes. the better condition the car is in the more money you will get for it so take it to a spray n pay before you take it to Brucie's Garage. Drive Responsibly.
0

You Got The Message--20G


Deliver all 30 cars ordered through text message.

After completing the missions "No. 1" and "Smackdown", you will receive a text message from Stevie asking you to get a car for him. Now this is exactly the same as 'Order Fulfilled' except for there are 30 instead of 10 and Stevie doesn't guide you he shows you a picture and tells the suburb it is in. That put together makes this one of the time consuming missions and Achievements. once you find the cars put them in the garage (located on your map, right near the second safehouse you get in the game) and  just like Brucie he only gives the most money to peak condition cars so stop by pay n spray on the way there.

It takes 6 (in game) hours or 6 (real life) minutes for stevie to text another car to you. since when you return to your safehouse and save it forwards the game 6 (in game) hours then just save the game every time you deliver a car and the next txt will be waiting when you awake. This map should help.

Dare Devil------------30G


Complete 100% of the unique stunt jumps.

This will also be time consuming. Stunt jumps, a tradition of GTA games, are scaterred throughout Liberty City. Some are disguised and others are plain obvious. They are normally situated near a long road so you can get a run up. For the best outcome you should find a fast motorbike (PCJ 600 or NRG 900). get a run up and launch of the ramp and land it. if you launch of the ramp successfully then a slo-mo cinematic camera angle will appear and after you land then it should tell you if you were successfull or not and then how many of them to go. for the locations go to this well presented .swf with locations and screenshots of all 50 ramps.

No More Strangers-----5G


Meet all random characters.

For all the time and effort put into the random characters 5G is pointless but still this goes towards you 100% completion of the game. The random characters are a set of people you can meet in the game, either in the missions or indicated by a blue person on your radar when you get close to them.

The people you have to encounter for this achievement are:
Badman
Brian
Mel
Ilyena Faustin
Cherise
Jeff
Clarence
Marnie
Pathos
Hossan
Sara
Eddie Low
Ivan
Gracie

Several people may have two missions to them but for the achievement you only need to meet them so attempting their first mission or meeting them in the main missions will give you it. The people may only be in there spots at certain times or not be in their locations at all so just keep searching for them. if they are not there be patient they will be at some point of the day and or night.

Here are a few maps to help you find them:

Broker:


Dukes:


Algonquin 1:


Algonquin 2:


Alderney:

Cleaned The Mean Streets--20G


Capture 20 criminals through the police computer.

The word capture here is used very loosely because what they ought to say is kill. To get this achievement just grab a cop car. sometimes you can get one on  the side of a street, at a cop station or call one up from your cell by putting in 911. never jack one off the street. at least with calling them one gets out of the car so you can easily get in and drive away. When in the cop car have it stationary and press the 'Left Bumper'  to activate the police computer. go down to the view current crimes list and select a crime. a red dot will appear on you radar so drive to it and eliminate the crime makers. Don't worry about the cops, as soon as you complete the mission your wanted level will disappear. Criminal on foot is the easiest and less time consuming while stolen car is the longest.
0

Manhunt---------15G


Complete the most wanted side missions from the police computer.

Just like "Cleaned The Mean Streets" you will again need a cop car. sometimes you can get one on  the side of a street, at a cop station or call one up from your cell by putting in 911. never jack one off the street. at least with calling them one gets out of the car so you can easily get in and drive away. When in the cop car have it stationary and press the 'Left Bumper'  to activate the police computer. Go down to most wanted criminals and choose on of the ten listed. Note: there are ten for each island so whichever island you are on it will give you a list of ten. there are 30 in total. as soon as you have selected a vigilante it will put a red dote on you radar so just go to the location to take out the criminal. too easy.
0

Endangered Species---50G


Collect every hidden package in the game.

You'll be working for all 50 of these gamerscore because this is the most time consuming achevement in the whole entire game. As with every other GTA game there are hidden packages throughout Liberty City. Except to keep in the New York theme they have changed these to Pigeons. There are 200 of these 'Flying Rats' scattered over the three islands the only way you know where they are is because the ground conveniantly is lit up with an orange glow where they are. The worst thing to do is kill one of the during the game and then not know where ou killed it. GET A MAP AND CROSS OFF EACH ONE AS YOU GET IT!!!!!!

here is a link to some videos and a map for you...you will need them: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...29&postcount=2

Happy Hunting
0

Assassin's Greed-----20G


Complete all 9 assassin missions.

After completing the mission, "Truck Hustle" you unlock the option to complete assassination missions. You will notice a grey cross hair on your map. This is the location of the pay phone that you will get your mission from. Go to the phone and answer the call, and you will be given instructions on which target you will be taking out. Once at the location, exterminate the target by any means you feel most comfortable with. All that matters is that they die.

Finish Him-----------15G


Complete 10 melee counters in 4 minutes.

This one is very simple yet some people are confused how to do it. You have 4 minutes to counter peoples melee attacks. to counter a melee attack is all about timing. as soon as you seen your opponent about to swing at you press 'A'. if you timed it right Niko will duck out of the way of his attack. as soon as Niko ducks press 'B'. Niko will perform a few attacks on the opponent draining about half health. you will get 2 counters out of 1 guy so 5 people should do it. DO NOT worry about your health at all because when you die the timer continues to run and you counters do not reset. Just pick a crowded street and pick a fight. do not pick girls as they will just flee.
0

Wheelie Rider------30G


Do a wheelie lasting at least 500 feet on a motorbike.

This has to be one of the easiest achievements and it is for a lot of gamerscore to. just find a bike (not a Harley) and take yourself either to a long road (if you want to test our luck with traffic) or to the airport runway (for an easy run). Just get into a wheelie by flicking your 'Left Stick' down (towards you) and wait until you front tyre leaves the ground then slightly bring the left stick (away from you) until the bike stays steady and desn't go forward or backwards. keep it there until 'bleep bloop' your achivement pops up and you've netted yourself 30 gamerscore.
0

Rolled Over--------30G


Do 5 car rolls in a row from one crash.

A Surprisingly difficult achievement which may take some time and a few deaths. The simplest way of doing this is either getting lucky or making a road trip down to the airports southern runway. In the middle of the runway are little yellow signs....if you drive fast and launch on them they send you into a spin. see if you can get 5 rolls. there is a way of chaining rolls and thats how i got it... check out this video to see how its done

One Man Army------40G


Survive 5 minutes on 6 star wanted level.

This is also an easy achievement if you haven't already unlocked all the islands. if you haven't unlocked any islands check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLYzWz3HBkg

If you have unlocked the islands then get ready for a fight.

You have a safe house outside of Middle Park in Algonquin. Stock up on weapons and ammo (be sure to grab armor), then go to it. You can grab a few big cars for cover, but that's unnecessary. Shoot a few random civilians to get a cop to appear, then shoot him for 3 stars. A chopper will appear, and you can RPG that down for possibly 4 or 5 stars. Through any means, get 4 or 5 stars, then head inside. Don't go upstairs, just take cover on the left side (as you enter), at the top of the stairs.

Pick off the cops as they enter the doors to get a 6-star rating. Any method you use to get 6 stars is alright, it's this part that's important. Go to the yellow arrow icon to teleport upstairs. You will now be in your loft, and in the search radius, but completely out of reach to the cops. Just hang out for 5 minutes and save the game when your done so that you don't have a wanted level when you get back.
0

Walk Free----------50G


Lose a 4 star wanted rating by outrunning the cops.

This is a fairly easy achievement once you know what to do. There are multiple ways of doing this and both are quite simple....

1. Head to a weapon shop and stock up on AK-47 ammo and Rocket launcher....two should do.....then make your way to an exposed piece of train track that can easily be accessible by car. Whip out your AK and cause some havoc.....take down the chopper to increase your 3 to a 4...as soon as you get 4 stars then get into your car and proceed onto the train tracks. Drive like you mean it down the train tracks and out of the radius. Just wit a few seconds and the wanted level will be gone and you have a nice 50 gamerscore added to your name.

2. Get yourself a 2 star wanted level. Then summon a cab by calling your cousin Roman, provided you have unlocked "Driving Mr. Bellic," and choose a destination a far distance from you. While riding, hold and you'll aim your gun out the window. Then cause as much mayhem as possible until you get up a 4 star wanted level. Then let go of  and press  and you'll be transported to your destination with no police around, so your level will disappear. This only works in one of your cousin's cabs, as in a standard taxi, the driver will run away if you earn a wanted level.

A bit like number 1 here is a video you can follow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiezkkZNRAs

Chain Reaction-----20G


You must blow up 10 vehicles in 10 seconds.

A simple achievement that may take you a few goes at it before you get it perfect. Get to a weapon shop and stock up on grenades and rocket launcher ammo. Head to a car dense intersection (a few favorites are Star Junction and the tunnel connecting the second island to the third). once at your desired spot steal a car and park it across the intersection. Steal a few others and place them so no cars can drive through. whip out a grenade and chuck it to the back of the cars. then pull out your rocket launcher and fire like a mad man. don't stop until you run out of rockets or until you see the achievement pop up. If you fail just try another spot or steal a few more cars. Make sure there are more than ten cars cause some will drive away or disappear.

Here is another method suggested by GiantBomb member TEAMHOLT:

"Here's an alternate method involving motorcycles, which can be bunched together in a much smaller space than cars, and blow up easier to boot:

  • There's a motorcycle dealership in northern Alderny, you can find it on this map and set yourself a waypoint in the game.
  • Call Packie and have him drop a bomb off for you nearby.
  • Place the bomb on a car, and drive it into the motorcycle shop.
  • There should be maybe eight motorcycles parked in this shop, use your car to pack them tightly together, preferably in a line.
  • Once you have them smushed together, park your car on one side of the line.
  • Jack another car, park it on the opposite side. This should bring you up to ten.
  • You might not even need it, I didn't, but stand outside of the dealership with your rocket launcher and then call Packie to detonate the bomb.
  • Everything should blow up real nice. If not, make use of your rocket quickly."

Genetically Superior---25G


Come first in 20 singleplayer street races.

After completing the mission "Number 1" for Brucie, you unlock the ability to compete in street races. Brucie will call you on your phone soon after the mission is over, and explain that any time you want to race, give him a call to set one up. Win 20 races to unlock the achievement.

Now, initially you only have the option to do 9 races, as is the total required for 100%. You need to be standing on the 1st island and call Brucie, he will then set you up for one of the three possible races on the 1st island. Once all three are completed, he will tell you that there are no more. You then need to travel to Algonquin, call him, win those three races, then go to Alderney, call him, and win those three races.

After that, he will send you a text message telling you that you won all the races, and can call him back whenever to race any of them again. At this point, you have completed your quota for 100% completion, but still need 11 more for the achievement. At this point, they work like every other friend activity. Sometimes he won't answer, sometimes he won't know of any, and sometimes he'll set you up with a race.

Complete a taxi ride without skipping from one island to another.

Simply you just have to take the time for a taxi ride. The simplest way to do this achievement is to call a taxi and set the waypoint for one side of a bridge. Get out, call the taxi again and set the waypoint for the other side of the bridge. Simple. Otherwise just grab a taxi and have a wonderful and joyous cruise through the complex world of Liberty City

Fly on all helicopter tours of Liberty City.

This can be pretty tricky. Just head over to the Helitours icon which is situated at the bottom of the second island. There are 5 tours you have to take and these are resembled by the helicopters on the helipads. If a helicopter is not there don't worry just come back later. You can skip the tours if you want but there is some funny dialouge and some nice sights to hear and see.
