Main Story Missions List

Welcome to the comprehensive guide for all main story missions in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories! This section will walk you through each mission, providing actionable steps, crucial item locations, and effective strategies to ensure your success in navigating Toni Cipriani's tumultuous return to Liberty City.

Remember to always save your game before attempting a new mission, especially those known for their difficulty. Stock up on armor and ammunition whenever possible, and don't hesitate to utilize the various safe houses scattered across the city for quick health regeneration and weapon stashes.

Act 1: Portland Island

Your journey begins on Portland Island, where Toni must re-establish his standing with the Leone family. Expect early missions to focus on basic combat, driving, and intimidation tactics.

• Home Sweet Home
  • Objective: Return to your apartment.
  • Walkthrough: After the opening cutscene, simply follow the on-screen GPS to your apartment in Portland View. This serves as your first safe house.
  • Strategy: No combat involved. Familiarize yourself with the controls during the drive.
• Slacker
  • Objective: Deal with the Forelli thugs harassing Vincenzo.
  • Walkthrough: Drive to the marked location in Saint Mark's. You'll find three Forelli thugs. Engage them in hand-to-hand combat or use the Pistol provided.
  • Strategy: Focus on one enemy at a time. If you're struggling with melee, try to lure them near a car and run them over, or use the Pistol for quick eliminations. A Baseball Bat can be found nearby if you prefer a melee weapon.
• Frighteners
  • Objective: Intimidate three union bosses.
  • Walkthrough: You'll need a vehicle for this. Drive to the first marked location in Harwood. Ram the union boss's car until he exits, then beat him up or shoot him. Repeat this process for the other two bosses in Trenton and Atlantic Quays.
  • Strategy: Use a durable vehicle like a Stallion or Perennial. Avoid destroying their cars too quickly, as you need them to exit. Keep an eye on your wanted level; if it gets too high, find a Pay 'n' Spray.
• Curb Stomp
  • Objective: Eliminate a rival gang leader.
  • Walkthrough: Drive to the designated area in Hepburn Heights. The target will be guarded. Take out his bodyguards first, then focus on the leader.
  • Strategy: A good strategy is to use a drive-by with an SMG (Uzi or Tec-9) to quickly dispatch the bodyguards. Alternatively, use cover and pick them off with a Pistol or Shotgun. Health pickups can be found in alleys if needed.

Act 2: Staunton Island

After proving your loyalty on Portland, Toni will gain access to Staunton Island. Missions here often involve more complex scenarios, including assassinations, vehicle chases, and gang warfare against the Sindaccos and Forellis.

• The Offer
  • Objective: Meet with Salvatore Leone and secure his trust.
  • Walkthrough: Drive to Salvatore's mansion in Shoreside Vale. This mission is primarily a cutscene, introducing you to new characters and advancing the plot.
  • Strategy: No combat. Just enjoy the ride and the story development.
• Ho Selecta!
  • Objective: Pick up three prostitutes and deliver them to a party.
  • Walkthrough: You'll need a four-door vehicle. Drive to the marked locations in Bedford Point and Newport to pick up the prostitutes. Then, drive them to the party in Fort Staunton.
  • Strategy: Choose a fast and durable car like a Sentinel or Esperanto. Avoid attracting police attention, as a wanted level will make the mission more difficult.
• Sindacco Sabotage
  • Objective: Destroy three Sindacco vehicles.
  • Walkthrough: Locate the three Sindacco cars marked on your radar in Torrington. Use explosives or heavy weapons to destroy them.
  • Strategy: A Molotov Cocktail or Grenade is highly effective for quickly destroying vehicles. You can also use a powerful vehicle like a Patriot to ram them repeatedly, or a drive-by with an SMG. Be prepared for retaliation from Sindacco gang members.

Act 3: Shoreside Vale

The final act takes you to Shoreside Vale, where the stakes are higher than ever. Expect intense shootouts, high-speed pursuits, and climactic confrontations that will determine the fate of the Leone family.

• Rough Justice
  • Objective: Eliminate a corrupt lawyer and his bodyguards.
  • Walkthrough: Drive to the lawyer's office in Pike Creek. You'll face multiple armed bodyguards. After clearing them, confront the lawyer.
  • Strategy: This mission requires good combat skills. Equip an Assault Rifle (M4 or AK-47) and Body Armor. Use cover effectively and prioritize enemies with powerful weapons. Health pickups might be scarce, so conserve your health.
• The Sicilian Gambit
  • Objective: Protect Salvatore Leone during a meeting with the Sicilians.
  • Walkthrough: This is a multi-stage mission involving a boat chase and a shootout. First, drive Salvatore to the meeting point. Then, engage in a boat chase, protecting Salvatore's boat from attackers. Finally, a large shootout will ensue on land.
  • Strategy: For the boat chase, use the mounted machine gun effectively. Aim for the enemy boats' engines to disable them quickly. During the land shootout, find a good vantage point and pick off enemies. Keep an eye on Salvatore's health bar.
