Part 117

Follow our guide to complete Part 117 of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, including missions 'A Shadow of Doubt,' 'Friend or Foe,' and 'Grave Situation.'

Alright, let's dive into Part 117 of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. We've got a few missions lined up here, starting with Hsin Jaoming's 'A Shadow of Doubt,' then 'Friend or Foe,' and finally kicking off Rudy D'Avanzo's storyline with 'Grave Situation.'

Hsin Jaoming: A Shadow of Doubt

The Plan: Hsin wants you to tail a Korean gang member who's using a distinctive umbrella. He'll lead you to his hideout. Keep an eye on the Suspicion Line – you need to stay far enough away so it doesn't fill up. He'll stop occasionally, so make sure you duck behind cover like vans or fences to avoid being spotted. Once he reaches the hideout, you've got about thirty seconds to plant a bug on his car. Follow the on-screen arrows to get it done. After that, you'll need to follow the bug's signal to your next destination. Grab the nearby car and keep track of the dots to find the gang car. Successfully following it completes the mission.

Tips: Staying hidden is key here. If the Suspicion Line fills up, you'll have to restart the mission.

Hsin Jaoming: Friend or Foe?

Weapons: Sword.

The Plan: First, hop into the provided Van. Drive to pick up some explosives, then head straight for the Korean Safehouse. Plant the explosives and follow the pattern to arm them. Once the explosion happens, back the Van up to the hole you just made. Get out and guard the entrance – the Koreans are coming to defend their turf. Your Sword will be really effective here, even against a crowd. There's Health and Body Armor nearby if you need it, but these guys aren't too aggressive. After you've dealt with the last of them, get back in the Van and head for the Garage. Be warned, the Koreans will chase you, and the Van isn't exactly fast, so try to keep them behind you to minimize damage. Once you reach the Garage, it's time to open the Safe. Use the Stethoscope on it, carefully rotate the wheel to find the correct numbers, and press the blinking button for each one. Inside, you'll find that Huang's name isn't on the files, meaning he's not the rat. Mission accomplished!

Rudy D'Avanzo: Grave Situation

Overview: Rudy D'Avanzo is a shady mobster who might know who the rat is. He suspects it's Jimmy Capra, a Made Man in the Messina crime family. Rudy can't take Jimmy down himself because they're enemies, so he needs Huang to do it, as a Triad wouldn't raise suspicion. As they're talking, Jimmy's goons show up and ambush them.

Weapons: Sword.

Notes: The music in Rudy's cutscenes is a cool throwback to classic LucasArts adventure games like 'The Secret of Monkey Island.'

The Plan: Your main goal is to protect Rudy during the ambush. Keep an eye on the D'Avanzo Line in the corner – if it disappears, Rudy dies and you fail the mission. Your attackers have powerful weapons, so you'll need to fight them off effectively.
