Mission 37 of 90Story mission
Briefing
Clarence Little runs a crew in the East Holland projects and Francis wants him gone. The approach is through a courtyard full of his people, and the mission has a rule about it that catches players out: the fight cannot start before Niko reaches the marker.
Clarence himself ends up cornered and the game offers the choice. He is the most memorable of GTA IV's spared characters — if he lives, he comes back for Niko in the street months later.
Objectives
- Go to the projects in East Holland
- Take down Clarence
- Choose Clarence's fate
- Clarence has been dealt with — lose your wanted level
Walkthrough
Not before the second floor
Francis rings on the way to say Clarence is on the second floor and that Niko should not start anything before he gets there. Attacking his men in the courtyard first fails the mission outright.
Or take him from the street
There is a way to skip the building altogether: a sniper rifle from ground level can reach Clarence where he stands, which ends it without the courtyard ever turning hostile.
The building
Played the ordinary way this is a close fight up through the projects, and it is worth arriving with armour and more than one weapon. Clarence keeps running upward and throwing whatever is to hand while his people fire from the walkways.
The choice
Clarence begs. Killing him is the job; sparing him pays the same and sets up an encounter later in which he tries to settle it. Two stars follow either way.
Where this mission leads
Who this mission brings together, and the ground it covers.
Gives the job
A senior police officer who built a career on the family he pretends not to have, and hires Niko to keep it that way.
