The Meat Business walkthrough

A pep talk

Go back up to Ken’s office, where Ken has relapsed and is high on cocaine. It has given him a confidence boost, and he decides to go and show the city who is boss by visiting Johnny Sindacco at the abattoir, where Johnny is recovering. He insists CJ take him there.

Ride to the abattoir

Take a car and let Ken ride with you. Follow the marker to Whitewood Estates, where the abattoir is. Ken complains the whole way, so ignore him and drive with care.

Face Johnny

When you arrive, CJ tries to hang back, knowing that if Johnny recognizes him there will be trouble, but Ken begs him to come along. When CJ steps out of the shadows during the meeting, Johnny suffers another heart attack and dies. The Sindaccos work out why and attack, so CJ and Ken have to fight their way through the abattoir. A Sindacco man may lock Ken in the freezer, so open the door for him.

Kill the witnesses

Now you have to kill every witness while Ken stays alive. Gangsters come at you from the rooms and from behind the fires and crates. Use cover and keep your gun trained on doorways. Among them is a man who jumps through the flames with a melee weapon, so back off and shoot him before he reaches you. Pick up any armor that drops.

Back to the casino

When the game says all the witnesses are dead, head for the exit. Ken follows, thrilled by the whole thing. Take a car and drive back to Caligula’s Palace. On the way Ken realizes how deep in trouble he is, and CJ promises to think of something.
