Mission 30 of 105Story mission

01/03

Briefing

Tenpenny finds Carl in Angel Pine within a day of dumping him there. There is a witness against C.R.A.S.H. hiding on Mount Chiliad, and the job is to go up the mountain, deal with him and come back with a photograph as proof.

The mountain is watched by federal agents, which makes this the first mission in San Andreas where being seen is worse than being outgunned. It is also the game's introduction to the camera as a tool rather than a toy.

Walkthrough

  1. Up Chiliad

    The Sanchez is the right tool for the climb and the mission provides one. The route up is long enough that arriving with the bike intact matters more than arriving quickly.

  2. Smoking him out

    The witness is inside and has to be driven out rather than reached. The mission is explicit that the agents around the building are to be avoided — a firefight here draws the attention the whole errand exists to avoid.

  3. The photograph

    The proof is the objective, and the mission warns that the body has to be in a state to photograph. Killing him with anything explosive is how this mission is failed after the hard part is over. Zoom in, take the shot, and get the camera to the drop.
