Madd Dogg’s Rhymes walkthrough

OG Loc’s plan

Go to the Burger Shot and find OG Loc, who is cleaning up and rapping to himself. He lets CJ know that he has no career in rap and needs something to get him in. The answer is Madd Dogg‘s rhyme book, kept at his house in the hills. Loc swears he will do anything if CJ steals it.

Up to the mansion

Take a car and drive into the hills to Madd Dogg‘s mansion, following the marker through Marina and up Mulholland. Leave the car away from the gate. The main door is around the back, so climb or walk round the side of the building to reach it.

Past the guards

Guards patrol the grounds, and radar blips show which way they face. Creep up behind one with a melee weapon for a stealth kill. When one patrols the pool area, watch his route and slip past. Stay in shadows where your radar dot turns blue, and crouch behind the bar when the next guard walks by.

The recording studio

Work through the corridors and the living room towards the studio, using the shadows and waiting for guards to turn. In the studio, the rhyme book is on a desk near the mixing deck. Once you have it, the game says you can use weapons freely, though silenced guns dropped by guards allow you to stay quiet.

Back to OG Loc

Leave the way you came, avoiding any guards you have not dealt with, and slide down the hillside. A car or any other vehicle on the road gets you back down to the Burger Shot. Hand the rhyme book to OG Loc to finish the mission.
