Giver
Agatha Baker
Location
A call from Ms. Baker while you wait at the Casino or in the penthouse garage; you start in a gold Swift Deluxe on the Casino helipad

Ms. Baker wants a guest at the Casino flown around Los Santos in the gold helicopter. You collect the high roller, hover over five landmarks and bring them back.

Before you start

There are no enemies, so fly smoothly and take your time.

Keep the helicopter low over each landmark, or the view will not register.

Objectives

  1. Go to the Los Santos Golf Club.
  2. Wait for the high roller to enter the helicopter.
  3. Fly the high roller to the landmarks.
  4. Focus on the landmark.
  5. Take the high roller to the Casino.

Tour de Force walkthrough

Pick up the high roller

Lift off from the Casino helipad in the gold Swift Deluxe and head for the Los Santos Golf Club. As you get close, a help box tells you to land the helicopter in the marked area and wait for the high roller to board. Set down gently on the lawn near the clubhouse and stay put; the guest walks over and climbs in on their own. Ms. Baker then texts that they picked out a few landmarks and just want a quick lap.

Visit the landmarks

A landmarks counter appears on the right of the screen, starting at 0 out of 5. Fly to each marker and descend toward it. If you are too high, a message tells you to reduce your altitude to view the landmark; bring the helicopter down until it clears. Each stop is a different place in the city and hills, so use the minimap to plan a straight line to the next one and watch the counter rise.

Focus on each view

When you reach a landmark, a Focus on the landmark prompt appears. Hold the helicopter steady and keep it pointed at the target until the stop registers; swinging the nose around only delays it. One of the stops is a steel arch bridge over a canyon, so fly in slowly and keep the fuselage clear of the girders.

Back to the Casino

After the fifth landmark the objective changes to taking the high roller to the Casino. Turn toward the skyline and follow the marker back across the hills. There is nothing to fight on the way, so you can stay at a comfortable height. Line up with the helipad on top of the Casino and land gently to finish.
