GTA San Andreas Lure Mission Walkthrough

The Da Nang Boys are watching Woozie’s apartment, and Ran Fa Li cannot leave. CJ offers to drive an empty Rancher out of town as a decoy, so the gangsters follow him while Ran Fa Li escapes.

Before you start

Fill your health. You never leave the car, so weapons do not matter much.

Practice smooth driving. Hard crashes damage the doors, and damaged doors give the game away.

Objectives

Get into the decoy car.
Drive out to the countryside.
Do not leave the decoy car.
Follow the checkpoints through the countryside.

The plan

At Woozie’s apartment, Ran Fa Li and his translator explain that the Da Nang Boys are watching the building, and that Ran Fa Li fears an attack. CJ suggests luring them away with an empty car, so they chase it while the others slip out. Woozie agrees. You will drive the Rancher parked outside.

Out of Chinatown

Get into the Rancher and drive out of San Fierro toward the countryside. Stay inside the car at all times, because leaving it blows the plan. Pass through Whetstone and into Angel Pine, then stop by the sawmill at the edge of town until two bikes carrying four Da Nang Boys ride up behind you.

Into the hills

With the bikers following, drive the Rancher through the countryside and use the radar to find the first checkpoint. There are eight checkpoints in all. Keep the Rancher steady and avoid crashes, because the bends come up quickly.

Follow the checkpoints

Drive through each checkpoint in turn. If the doors take too much damage, the bikers can see into the car, and too long a look blows your cover. Brake gently into the bends and take the straighter parts quickly to pull ahead, so the bikers cannot get close enough to look in.

The last checkpoint

After the last checkpoint, CJ stops at a gas station on the highway, and Guppy calls to say that Ran Fa Li is safe. A biker rides up to the window and sees the car is empty. The gangsters realize they have been fooled and ride back to Chinatown.
