Post-Game Activities
Congratulations, Toni! You've navigated the treacherous underworld of Liberty City and emerged victorious. But the fight for dominance doesn't end with the main storyline. Liberty City Stories offers a wealth of post-game activities and challenges to truly cement your status as a crime lord. Achieving 100% completion is a rewarding endeavor, unlocking various bonuses and proving your mastery of the city.
Achieving 100% Completion
To truly conquer Liberty City, you'll need to complete a comprehensive list of tasks beyond the main narrative. This includes:
- All Main Story Missions: This is a given, but ensure every mission from the likes of Salvatore Leone, Maria Latore, and the Sindaccos is ticked off.
- All Side Missions: These often appear as unique icons on your map and provide additional narrative and rewards. Don't forget the missions for Donald Love, the Avenging Angels, and the various payphone hits.
- All Rampages: There are 20 Rampages scattered across Liberty City. These timed challenges require you to eliminate a certain number of gang members or destroy vehicles using a specific weapon. Look for the skull icon on your radar.
- All Unique Jumps: Perform all 26 Unique Stunt Jumps. These often involve launching a vehicle off a ramp or specific terrain to achieve significant airtime and distance. A good strategy is to use a fast car or motorcycle.
- All Hidden Packages: Collect all 100 Hidden Packages. These small, glowing packages are often tucked away in obscure corners, on rooftops, or underwater. Collecting them in increments of 10 unlocks various weapons at your safehouses. For example, collecting 10 packages unlocks the Pistol, 20 unlocks the Shotgun, and so on, all the way to the M4, Flamethrower, and Minigun at 100 packages.
Vehicle-Based Side Activities
Beyond the core collectibles and missions, several vehicle-based activities offer cash rewards and contribute to your completion percentage:
- Vigilante Missions: Hop into a police car, FBI car, or Enforcer and activate Vigilante missions. Your goal is to track down and eliminate criminals within a time limit. Reaching higher levels earns you increasing cash bonuses and, eventually, a Body Armor pickup at your safehouses.
- Paramedic Missions: Find an Ambulance and begin Paramedic missions. You'll need to pick up injured citizens and transport them to the hospital before they bleed out. Completing all 12 levels grants you infinite sprint.
- Firetruck Missions: Locate a Firetruck and extinguish fires across the city. Successfully completing these missions up to level 12 makes Toni fireproof.
- Taxi Driver Missions: Steal a Taxi and pick up fares, dropping them off at their destinations within a time limit. Completing 100 fares (not necessarily consecutively) unlocks the ability for all Taxis to jump.
- Trashmaster Missions: Get into a Trashmaster and collect garbage bins around the city. This is a multi-stage mission across different districts.
Other Diversions and Challenges
Liberty City also offers several other ways to earn cash, improve your skills, and further your completion:
- Car Salesman Missions: Head to the dealership in Harwood, Portland, and undertake the "Car Salesman" side mission. You'll need to sell cars to customers by driving them around and impressing them.
- Bike Salesman Missions: Similar to the car salesman, find the bike dealership and sell motorcycles to customers.
- RC Missions: Engage in remote-control vehicle challenges, often involving racing or destroying targets. Look for these in specific locations like the park in Portland.
- Turismo Races: Participate in street races across Liberty City. Winning these races will earn you significant cash and bragging rights.
- Avenging Angels Missions: These vigilante-style missions involve protecting citizens from gang attacks. Look for the "A" icon on your map.
- Chop Shop Deliveries: Steal specific vehicles and deliver them to the Chop Shop for cash. The list of desired vehicles can usually be found on a blackboard or poster near the chop shop.
By systematically tackling these activities, you'll not only unlock every secret and bonus Liberty City has to offer but also gain a deeper appreciation for the game's expansive world and intricate design. Good luck, and remember to save frequently!
