Objectives

  1. Don’t allow any of the celebrities to reach the LCFR radio station!
  2. Take out Faith W, DB-P and Black Lightman.
  3. Get back to the church and let the priest know.

False Idols walkthrough

The cult of celebrity

The priest says the cult of celebrity has gone too far: what kind of person gives a radio interview instead of a newspaper exclusive? Three celebrities are heading to a radio station downtown before tonight’s premiere. Faith W is flying in from Francis Airport in her private helicopter, DB-P is coming by boat from Portland and will switch to a bulletproof Patriot, and Black Lightman is checking out of rehab and arriving in a limo.

Stop them all

Don’t allow any of them to reach the LCFR radio station. A rocket launcher handles the helicopter and the bulletproof Patriot, which bullets can’t hurt. Phil Cassidy’s gun shop, shown as a flag icon on the radar, sells one. DB-P comes ashore in Newport first.

Once DB-P is down, chase Black Lightman’s limo, watching for his shooter, then bring down Faith W’s helicopter with a rocket before it lands. The game confirms each one as you take them out.

Back to the church

With all three taken out, get back to the church and let the priest know. He is delighted: the paper’s circulation has tripled since Toni found his soul.

What fails this mission

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

  • DB-P gets away
  • Black Lightman gets away
  • Faith W gets away

After the mission

The mission pays $1,500, which ends the priest’s missions. A message says new stock has arrived at Phil Cassidy’s Fully Cocked Gun Shop. Donald Love’s Cam-Pain is next.
