Unlocks Love Boat

A friend of 8-Ball’s was put in hospital by a man named Scorelli, and 8-Ball wants payback. You clear out Scorelli‘s goons in Trenton, take his car in Harwood and get it sprayed before bringing it home.

Before you start

Bring a decent gun and full health. Several fights come back to back, and the pursuit after the car theft is the hard part.

Objectives

  1. Take out the Scorelli goons.
  2. To jump over barriers and fences, press the A button and B button together.
  3. Steal Scorelli’s car and get it spray painted.
  4. Escape the ambush and get Scorelli’s car spray painted.
  5. Bring the car back to 8-Ball’s pad to complete the mission.

Scorelli walkthrough

The brief

8-Ball says it is payback time: take out some of Scorelli‘s goons in Harwood and steal Scorelli‘s car. Head out on foot or by car, following the radar to the goons’ alley in Trenton.

The goons in Trenton

The goons wait in a courtyard behind the Trenton buildings, and the first of them shouts a threat as you arrive. Open fire from a distance and back off around the corners to avoid being surrounded. A tutorial message explains that you can leap over barriers and fences by pressing the A button and B button together, which helps if you need to get out of a corner.

Scorelli’s car

A pager message tells you to pick up Scorelli‘s car, spray paint it and bring it back. The car sits in Harwood. Steal it quickly: as soon as you climb in, a few more of Scorelli‘s men run out and open fire, and Mike remarks that it is an ambush. Keep driving and do not stop to fight.

Pay ‘n’ Spray

Follow the radar to the Pay ‘n’ Spray in Portland Harbor, driving fast but without wrecking the car, because destroying it fails the mission. Drive into the garage and wait for the new paint and engine to finish.

Back to 8-Ball

With the car freshly painted, drive it back to 8-Ball’s bomb shop in Saint Mark’s. The route through Portland Beach is quiet. Park on the marker and 8-Ball thanks you for the job.
