Find Luca in Castle Garden City

You start at Drusilla’s wearing the work jacket. The objective sends you to Castle Garden City, so take a car from the street and follow the yellow route on the radar to the waterfront. Luca and his crew sit in a parked sedan near Castle Drive. Walk up and talk to them. They deny everything, then speed away.

Chase their car to Middle Park

A Banshee is parked nearby. Take it, since it is fast enough to keep up. The target car is the red blip on the radar. Stay close behind. Do not wreck the sedan, because the mission needs Luca alive when you reach him.

The Banshee chases a car beneath an elevated road in Algonquin.

The chase heads north through Star Junction, where the street is packed with taxis and cross traffic. Keep the target in view, cut through gaps instead of ramming and let the Banshee’s speed do the work. If you fall behind, the red blip on the radar still shows where they went.

Follow the sedan up the long avenue toward Middle Park. It leaves the road and drives into the park, where it spins out and hits the fountain. Drive in after it and stop in the open area near the wreck.

Take down the gang in the park

Once the car stops, the crew runs off. The objective reads that the gang has escaped into the park, and their blips are red on the radar. Get out and use the stone pillars and walls near the fountain for cover. Pick off each gunman one at a time as they pop out to shoot.

When the shooting stops, the objective changes. Luca is hiding in the toilets. Walk to the yellow blip and look for the restroom entrance. Clear every other man first, since going inside before the gang is dead fails the mission.

Flush Luca out of the restroom

Inside, the stalls are lined up on one side and a prompt tells you to shoot the doors to break them open. Use a shotgun or pistol and blast each door from a few steps back. Luca is behind one of them.

Pick up the diamonds

Once Luca is out of the picture, the diamonds are yours. Collect them and head back to your car. Call Ray from your phone to let him know.

Meet Ray on the bridge

The last objective is to meet Ray on the bridge. Drive out of Middle Park along Columbus Avenue and follow the radar route to a bridge over the park. Pull up and get out near the parked car. Ray handles the rest.
