Back Alley Brawl walkthrough

Ken names Kent Paul

Ken has no leads from the party, so Tommy says they need information from the street. Ken thinks of Kent Paul, an Englishman who knows who is dealing in Vice City. He is usually at the Malibu Club. Head out of the Hotel Harrison and drive along Ocean Drive to the club, which is marked on the radar.

The Malibu Club

Walk into the club and the doorman points out Kent. He is chatting up a woman, so Tommy steps in and sends her away. Kent tries to play dumb about cocaine, and Tommy shoves him to the floor. Kent then tells him about a chef in Ocean Beach who has been looking very pleased with himself.

The chef in the alley

Drive to the alley behind a hotel on Ocean Drive, where the chef is on his phone. Walk up and he challenges you. Follow the on-screen prompt and punch him until he drops. Use the lock-on and keep hitting. The fight is short, and he has no weapon. When he goes down, pick up the phone he dropped.

Lance steps in

A man in a white suit walks up and mocks Tommy for killing the only lead. He offers to team up, and it is Lance Vance. More chefs come out of the alley behind him, so run with Lance rather than fighting them. Follow the game’s prompt to run.

Ammu-Nation and the hotel

Lance tells Tommy to pack some heat. Get into Lance’s Infernus and follow the gun icon on the radar to Ammu-Nation. Walk in and buy a pistol with the buy button. Read the on-screen tips if you are new to buying weapons. Once outside, drive Lance back to the Ocean View Hotel. Keep the Infernus out of trouble, because the mission ends if it is destroyed.

  • The Infernus is destroyed
