Doing this job lowers your respect with the Zaibatsu.

Arrive with plenty of health. The final fight is against three armed men.

  2. You found the traitor’s hideout. Make contact with the Yakuza ancient torture master, Refried Noodle.
  3. Kill the Yakuza traitors!

Follow That Traitor! walkthrough

Find the traitor

Leave the phone and look for the marker. The target is a Yakuza on foot close by. Do not run toward him. Hang back, keep him on screen and let a gap open between you. Johnny warns that being seen more than once ends the job.

Tail him on foot

Follow at a steady pace. He stops and looks round now and then, and if he spots you more than once the job fails. Keep a building between you when he looks back and keep your distance. Do not draw a weapon or hit anyone nearby.

Meet Refried Noodle

After the traitor goes inside, Johnny sends you to Refried Noodle. Follow the new marker to him. He hands you an S-Uzi machine gun, so take it.

Bring him back

Johnny tells you to take Refried Noodle to the hideout yourself. Choose a quick car and drive carefully, since Refried Noodle must survive the trip. Do not drive recklessly past the target street, because the traitors are close to where you first saw the man go in.

Take them out

At the hideout you meet the traitor and two armed Yakuza bodyguards. Use the S-Uzi from a distance and stay on one target at a time. Strafe round them rather than standing still, and stay out of the way of the explosion that can go off on the grass.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • the traitor realizes he is being followed
  • the traitor is killed before entering the hideout
  • Refried Noodle is killed before arriving at the hideout

After the mission

Johnny Zoo pays $40,000 and your Yakuza respect goes up. Return to a Yakuza phone for the next job.
