The Deal ending

A Revenger’s Tragedy

Giver
Little Jacob
Location
Alderney City, Alderney, where Little Jacob waits in a Cognoscenti

Requires Mr. & Mrs. Bellic, on the Deal branch

Unlocks The end of the story

Tail Pegorino’s men by car to an old casino, shoot your way in, then chase Dimitri by boat and helicopter to Happiness Island and finish him. It is the last mission on the Deal branch, so there is no cash and nothing after it.

Before you start

This is the Deal ending. You picked it in your last meeting with Pegorino in One Last Thing, and the Revenge missions are a different set that you cannot reach from here. If you want to see both endings, keep a separate save from before that meeting.

You cannot restock between the casino and the island, so arrive with full armor and plenty of rifle ammo. The last fight uses whatever you carried out of the casino.

Objectives

  1. Get in Jacob’s car
  2. Follow Pegorino’s goons
  3. Find Dimitri inside the old casino
  4. Chase Dimitri
  5. Get in the boat
  6. Chase Dimitri
  7. Get underneath Little Jacob’s chopper
  8. Get low and stay close to Dimitri
  9. Chase Dimitri

A Revenger’s Tragedy walkthrough

Meet Jacob

Jacob is parked on a street in Alderney City in a dark Cognoscenti, with a green marker on the car. Drive or run over and get in. A short talk follows and you end up behind the wheel. Pegorino’s men are in a Huntley Sport nearby, and they take off as soon as the car starts moving.

Niko's white and red sports car pulls up on a quiet Alderney street.
A dark Cognoscenti idles at the curb as Niko arrives with his own car beside it.
Niko stands beside the open window of the dark car as Little Jacob waits inside.

Follow Pegorino’s goons

The goons’ car shows as a red blip on the radar. Turn the Cognoscenti around fast and stay close behind it. The car is quick but heavy, so it steers and brakes badly. Brake early for the first tight right turn, because it puts you onto the highway.

The Cognoscenti turns a city corner as the objective tells you to follow Pegorino's goons.
The Cognoscenti drives along an elevated highway with the goons far ahead.
The Cognoscenti weaves past slower traffic on an Alderney highway.

On the highway the goons switch lanes all the time, and so must you. Oncoming cars are the main danger, since a head-on hit can wreck the car and fail the mission. Keep a short gap, drift to the side with the fewest cars and don’t bother shooting. The goons must stay alive until they reach the casino.

The Cognoscenti follows a curving highway ramp toward the shore.
A car sits at an angle on the road ahead as the Cognoscenti closes in.

Leave the highway when the red blip does and follow it down into the back streets and toward the shore. Take the sharp corners wide and slow down for taxis crossing the junctions. A rollover costs the most time here, and a rolled car can end the mission. The chase finishes at an abandoned casino.

The Cognoscenti passes a yellow taxi on a street in northern Alderney.
The Cognoscenti races up a hill after the dark car ahead.
The road runs out toward the shore as the goons' car pulls away.
A car kicks up dust on a dirt track beyond a dark underpass as the chase nears the old casino.

Fight through the casino

Niko and Jacob dive behind the car as shots come from the yard ahead. Jacob stays behind while you go in alone. The objective reads “Dimitri is inside the old casino. Find him.” Shoot from behind the car, then move forward cover to cover, using parked cars and road barriers. Several gunmen carry heavy weapons, so keep armor topped up.

Niko and Jacob crouch behind the Cognoscenti with their guns drawn.
Niko aims a rifle over the car's hood with the objective to find Dimitri in the old casino.
Niko fires on gunmen behind parked cars in the casino yard.
Niko aims a pistol across the yard past road barriers and cones.

Clear the yard, then go through the open doorway of the warehouse. The hall inside is dark, with crates and burning barrels scattered around. Fight from behind the crates, reload while covered and shoot anything that appears on the upper walkways. Work your way across to the far end.

Niko enters a large warehouse hall with crates and a burning barrel.
Niko advances through the dark hall past stacked crates.

When you find Dimitri he runs for the roof. Follow up the stairs and out onto the roof, then clear the gunmen guarding the helipad from behind the low walls. A helicopter is waiting there. Dimitri climbs aboard and it lifts off, and you jump after it.

Niko aims a pistol at gunmen on the casino roof under a gray sky.
Niko shoots from behind a low roof wall as armed men fire back.
Niko climbs a metal stair toward the helipad with the objective to chase Dimitri.

Chase Dimitri by boat

You drop into the water next to a black speedboat. The objective changes to “Get in the boat”. Climb in right away, because a rocket from the helicopter is on its way, and then push the throttle fully forward and leave the casino behind.

Niko sits in a black speedboat beside a concrete jetty.
The speedboat heads out to sea with a helicopter ahead and the objective to chase Dimitri.

Dimitri’s helicopter flies low over the water ahead, white and blue against the clouds. Aim the boat at it and keep going. Watch for rocks near the shore and swing wide around them. Follow it down the river into the city, past the bridges, with “Chase Dimitri” on screen.

The speedboat races along the coast under a heavy gray sky.
The speedboat follows two helicopters up a river between tall buildings.

Chase Dimitri by helicopter

Jacob’s black Annihilator swings in beside you and the objective is “Get underneath Little Jacob’s chopper”. Steer under it and stay level. When the climb prompt appears, keep tapping the button until Niko pulls himself into the cabin. Then you take the controls.

Jacob tells Niko to get under his helicopter as the speedboat follows a helicopter on the river.
The underside of a black helicopter with landing gear hangs above the river.
Niko hangs from the helicopter's skid with a prompt to climb into the cabin.

The objective is “Get low and stay close to Dimitri”, but a little height helps you keep his helicopter in view over the buildings. Fly gently, since the controls are far more sensitive than in the earlier helicopter missions. Hitting a tall building fails the mission, so stay above the rooftops and ease through turns.

The target helicopter banks among Algonquin's skyscrapers under a gray sky.
The Annihilator flies above the rooftops with a bridge in the distance.

Ignore the miniguns, because his helicopter takes no damage from them and you waste time. Just keep him in view across the city to the harbor. Jacob shoots from the side door and a rocket from Dimitri’s men damages your helicopter. Both aircraft go down on Happiness Island.

The Annihilator follows the target helicopter across the city skyline.
The Annihilator closes on the target helicopter near the harbor.

Kill Dimitri

You land at the foot of the statue with Jacob and the objective is again “Chase Dimitri”. His men hold the plaza. Use the planters and lamp posts for cover and shoot them from behind. The radar shows where they stand, and the red blip in front of you is Dimitri himself.

Niko aims a rifle across the stone plaza of Happiness Island with the objective to chase Dimitri.
Niko walks through the misty plaza of Happiness Island with a statue faint in the background.

Dimitri backs away across the lawn and shoots back. Don’t stand in the open. Use the trees to close in and fire short bursts with your rifle until he goes down. Watch your back for his men and for police who may arrive. The final scene starts when he falls.

Niko aims his SMG along a misty path on the island.
Niko walks along a stone wall at the edge of a misty lawn.

What fails this mission

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

  • Little Jacob dies
  • Dimitri gets away
  • The Cognoscenti, the Squalo or Jacob’s Annihilator is destroyed
  • The Huntley Sport the goons drive is destroyed, or they are killed before reaching the casino
  • You crash the helicopter into a building

After the mission

There is no cash for this one, and nothing new opens. The credits roll and the You Won! achievement unlocks. When you are back in the city the whole map is yours, so go after the remaining side activities and collectibles to push toward 100 percent.
