Complete Tony Cipriani missions in grand theft auto iii the definitive edition, including Taking out the Laundry, The Pick-Up, and Salvatore's Called A Meeting.

Taking out the Laundry

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the mission and your radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) will indicate three Triad Fish Vans roaming around Chinatown.
  2. 2
    Your goal is to destroy all three vans. A cheap and fun method is to use a Firetruck or Coach.
  3. 3
    Drive at high speed and ram the vans from the side to destroy them. Front/back hits also cause significant damage. Drive-by shootings are also an option.
Tips
  • Using a Firetruck or Coach allows for easy destruction of the vans.
  • Ramming from the side can cause the vans to flip.

The Pick-Up

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head into Chinatown to the designated alleyway location.
  2. 2
    After the cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), quickly run towards the Triad van before the Triads can use it. This should be your first priority.
  3. 3
    If you successfully get the van, run over the six Triads.
  4. 4
    If you fail to get the van, shoot the five on-foot Triads with your Uzi.
  5. 5
    Steal a car and chase down the Triad's van, using drive-bys until it explodes. Run over any remaining Triads if they bail out.
  6. 6
    Once all Triads are dead, return to Toni’s place.
Tips
  • Prioritize getting the van immediately at the start of the mission.
  • If you miss the van, use an Uzi to deal with the Triads on foot before pursuing the van.

Salvatore Called A Meeting

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to Joey’s place in Trenton and park in the marker to pick up Joey. You will begin driving a Stretch.
  2. 2
    Drive to Luigi’s place in the Red Light District and honk the horn (L3) to make him come out.
  3. 3
    Pick up Toni at Luigi's and head towards Salvatore’s mansion. Try to face the front of the car northward.
  4. 4
    Afterwards, Triads will ambush you. Drive forward and up the hill using the first right turn. Maintain acceleration.
  5. 5
    At the top, approach Salvatore’s mansion gateway. Two Triad vans will be blocking the entrance. Ram the gap between them to get through.
  6. 6
    Follow the dirt path to the mansion garage.
Tips
  • Do not attempt any random rampages while driving the Stretch, as it must not be destroyed.
  • Maintain high speed when escaping the Triad ambush.

Triads and Tribulations

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Drive into Chinatown. You will hear about a gang war between the Mafia and Triads.
  2. 2
    Head to Punk Noodles and enter the plaza through the nearby entrance to defeat the first of three Warlords.
  3. 3
    Head north-west to find and defeat the second Warlord. You can simply run them over.
  4. 4
    To find the third Warlord, acquire a Triad Fish Van. Head to the diner near Callahan Point, then south towards Atlantic Quays.
  5. 5
    Take the second dirt path on the right to safely enter the compound.
  6. 6
    Use the van to reach the third Warlord and run them over.
Tips
  • A Firetruck is recommended for its durability and ability to plow through traffic.
  • You can defeat the second Warlord by simply squishing them with your vehicle.

Blow Fish

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Drive north into Harwood and go to 8-Ball’s Bomb Shop to pick up the Trashmaster. You will have a 2:30 timer.
  2. 2
    Head to the Triad fish factory, located in the same place as the third warlord from the previous mission.
  3. 3
    To avoid heavily damaging the vehicle, go through the tunnel to reach the SupaSave store in Portland View.
  4. 4
    Proceed along the road towards the harbor, then take a left at the intersection and continue straight to the dirt path from the previous mission.
  5. 5
    Use the dirt path to enter the factory.
  6. 6
    Park the Trashmaster between the gas tanks in the blue marker.
  7. 7
    Press Circle to arm the explosive and exit the vehicle.
  8. 8
    Get a safe distance away to watch the factory explode.
Tips
  • Do not heavily damage the Trashmaster, as it will explode.
  • Using the tunnel provides a quicker and safer route to the factory.
