Coming Down walkthrough
Answer the call and head out
Just after Politics ends, Johnny’s phone rings and Ashley’s name appears on the screen. Pick up and listen. When the call ends, the objective changes to going to Ashley, and a blip appears on the radar. You do not need the Hexer, because most of this job is on foot.



Flag down one of the yellow taxis on the avenue and climb in. The cab takes you to the Governor Greg Johnson Projects in Northwood, and the fare comes out of your cash when you arrive. Get out at the marker. A cab is the quickest way, so use it unless you would rather ride.



Go upstairs and find Ashley
Walk past the fenced courtyard to the street door of the building. The new objective tells you to go upstairs and find Ashley. The lobby is full of mailboxes and graffiti, and a stairwell leads up. The corridors are narrow and dimly lit, so take your time and keep an eye on the radar.



Follow the hallways past the open apartments and look into each room. The objective changes to finding Ashley. The layout is a maze of small rooms, so follow the corridor rather than cutting across. Her room is at the back of the building, and you will meet trouble on the way.



Take out the drug addicts
Addicts living in the building come out of doorways and attack. Some carry pistols and others use bats or bare hands. The objective now reads, take out the drug addicts, and each one shows as a red dot on the radar. Aim at the doorway ahead and shoot them as they step out.



Take them down one room at a time. Step in and out of doorways to find a good angle, and keep moving forward along the hallway rather than stopping in the open. A pistol is enough for most of them, but a shotgun makes short work of anyone who gets close. Deal with the ones carrying guns first.



Find Ashley and bring her out
When the last addict is down, walk to the back room, where Ashley is lying on a mattress. Step up to her. A short scene plays and Johnny helps her to her feet. The objective changes to taking her home.



Lead her back down the corridor and the stairs, past the mailboxes and out through the lobby doors. She walks slowly. If you pull too far ahead, the game tells you to go back for Ashley, so slow down and let her catch up.



Take Ashley home
Once you are outside, flag down another taxi on the street and get in with Ashley. Keep her safe, because the mission fails if she dies. The ride takes you from Northwood to her apartment in Acter, in Alderney.



Walk to the marker at her apartment. A last scene plays out between the two of them, and the mission ends without any money. Afterward you can call Ashley whenever you like.


What fails this mission
Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:
- Ashley dies
After the mission
There is no pay for this one. Diamonds in the Rough and Roman’s Holiday open once Bad Standing and Shifting Weight are also done. Off Route, Bad Cop Drop and the other story missions are still waiting if you want to carry on with the main run.
