Requires King in Exile

Unlocks Gone Courting and Wu Zi Mu, and the three robberies Catalina has not yet used

CJ goes to Catalina’s cabin to make peace, but she ambushes him with a pistol and makes him beg. Once she calms down, they agree on another robbery and drive off to the target.

Before you start

Nothing to prepare, but take a decent car. Catalina insists that you drive.

Objectives

  1. Visit Catalina at her hideout in Fern Ridge.
  2. Choose the next target.

First Base walkthrough

At the cabin

Head to the cabin in the pines at Fern Ridge. Nobody answers when you knock, so CJ tries apologizing through the door and then walks around the back, getting more annoyed as he goes. Catalina is nowhere to be seen, and the cabin looks empty.

The ambush

When CJ mutters an insult, Catalina rushes him from behind, knocks him down and points a pistol at his head. She makes him apologize louder and prove he is sorry. Keep agreeing with her until she lowers the gun, and she announces that she loves him.

Pick a target

Once CJ asks to go out and rob someone, Catalina agrees. You choose from the jobs you have not yet done, among the gas station in Dillimore, the liquor store in Blueberry, the betting shop in Montgomery and the bank in Palomino Creek. Get in the car and drive toward the target as she tells you to speed up.
