Mission walkthrough

After the tennis coach

Michael walks in on Amanda and the coach. Get in the Bison with Franklin and follow the coach’s car, staying back far enough not to spook him, but not so far that you lose him. Don’t attack him, because hurting or killing him here fails the mission.

Michael walks across a cobbled driveway toward a mansion's lit front doors at night.

Bringing down the house

He runs to a hillside house. After the scene, Franklin ties the winch to the deck supports. Drive away down the slope with the throttle held and the whole house comes down the hill.

Madrazo’s men

Get back in the truck and head for Michael’s. Martin Madrazo’s men now chase you through the hills. Franklin returns fire, and you can switch to him and shoot if you prefer. Lose them and drive home. Madrazo then shows up and tells Michael he owes $2.5 million, which sets up the first heist.

Gold Medal requirements

The Bison has to come through with little damage, so go easy on shortcuts and scrapes. Kill three enemies from the vehicle while skipping cutscenes, and stay under 05:30.
