Arriving in Broker

First Date

Giver
Michelle
Location
Michelle's apartment on Mohawk Avenue, Rotterdam Hill, Broker
Reward
Michelle becomes a date you can call again

Requires Three’s a Crowd

Unlocks Easy Fare (once Bleed Out is also done), going out with Michelle

Pick up Michelle at her apartment, drive her in her own car to Firefly Island, and play a game of bowling at Memory Lanes. Then drive her home without wrecking the car. There is no cash prize, but Michelle wants a second date.

Before you start

Roman phones with a cry for help while you are driving to Michelle’s apartment, which starts Bleed Out. You can answer, or ignore him and keep going. Nothing is lost either way. If you help Roman first, you get a second chance at the date later. If you carry on, Roman rings again after the date and Bleed Out plays out the same way it would have.

Putting your phone in sleep mode stops calls from interrupting the drive.

Objectives

  1. Take Michelle to the carnival.
  2. Go bowling with Michelle.
  3. Find an empty lane to play in.
  4. Go back to Michelle’s car.
  5. Take Michelle home.

First Date walkthrough

Pick up Michelle

Michelle calls to ask you out, and you can also call her yourself to save time. Drive to her apartment on Mohawk Avenue in Rotterdam Hill, step up to the door and a short scene plays. It explains how dating and doing things with friends work, and you get a look at her very clean home. You both then leave in her car, and you take the wheel.

Niko and Michelle stand in her tidy apartment with a subtitle about her love of cleanliness.
Michelle's car drives down Mohawk Avenue with the objective to take Michelle to the carnival.

Drive to the carnival

Your objective is the carnival at Funland on Firefly Island. Follow the route on the radar. Michelle chats during the drive and asks about Roman and why you came to Liberty City. Keep her car away from walls, other vehicles and curbs, because heavy damage fails the mission, and so does hurting or spooking her. Brake early at corners and use the quieter streets under the elevated tracks. A smooth drive is all this leg asks for.

The car crosses an intersection with Michelle talking and the radar route showing.
The car drives down Gibson Street toward the elevated tracks while Michelle talks.
The car continues along a wide street under the elevated tracks.

Go bowling at Memory Lanes

When you arrive, Michelle points out that the carnival is closed. The objective changes to bowling and the blip moves to Memory Lanes, a short drive along the boardwalk. Park near the entrance and walk with her to the door. You can drive on the boardwalk, so watch the pedestrians.

Niko stands by the open car door near the carnival entrance with a subtitle saying the carnival is closed.
The car rolls along the boardwalk with the objective to go bowling with Michelle.

Inside, speak to the assistant at the desk and then walk to a free lane. Throw a ball when it is your turn and aim down the middle. The help messages explain how to skip your shot, check the score and quit. You do not have to win or even finish a game, but the ending changes what Michelle says on the drive home.

Niko leans over the Memory Lanes front desk with Michelle's subtitle about playing a few frames.
Michelle walks toward the lane while a help message lists the skip, score and quit actions.

Take Michelle home

When you leave the lanes, the objective sends you back to her car. Walk to it and get in. If you quit early, Michelle says it was a shame you could not finish the game and asks you to take her home. Pull out of the lot slowly.

Niko leans on the front desk as Michelle suggests heading back to the car.
Niko walks through the bowling alley's seating area with the objective to go back to Michelle's car.
Michelle's car waits on the boardwalk with its door open.

The drive home runs through Outlook and back to Rotterdam Hill. Michelle talks about life in Liberty City on the way. Drive calmly as before and stop at the marker outside her apartment. She thanks you and says she wants to see you again.

The car drives out along the boardwalk with Michelle chatting.
The car drives down a city street with the route on the radar.
The car drives down a street through Rotterdam Hill at dusk.

What fails this mission

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

  • Michelle is injured or killed
  • Michelle is spooked by a crash or by gunfire
  • Michelle’s car is destroyed
  • You abandon Michelle

After the mission

There is no cash prize. Michelle likes you and her number is now in your phone, so you can invite her out again. If you ignored Roman’s call, he phones after you drop her off and Bleed Out starts. With both done, Easy Fare unlocks at Roman’s depot.

The car stops near a building as Michelle says she wants to see Niko again.
The car is parked on the street after the date with the game saving.
