Cutscene
Claude answers the ringing payphone inside the park in Hepburn Heights.
GTA 3 Trial By Fire 1
El Burro tells him some Triads stole his beautiful car, wrecked it and left it burning. Some of his most precious donkey memorabilia was in the trunk. He tells Claude he's hidden a throbbing weapon on the edge of Chinatown which he wants him to use to teach the Triad vandals to fear El Burro's well-endowed wrath.

After the phone call, you'll need to make your way to the Pistol icon on the radar which is usually reserved for Ammu-Nation, however this time it marks the location where you'll find the Flamethrower in an alleyway in Chinatown.

As soon as you pick it up, you'll start what is essentially just a Rampage. A countdown timer of 2:30 will appear on the screen and you're instructed to kill 25 Triads inside the time limit.

GTA 3 Trial By Fire 5

Just run around the streets chasing after the Triads and hold R2 to fire (without aiming) which makes it much easier to burn the enemies. They'll run away from you when you start flaming but you can catch them up when they stop. I personally just hold down R2 constantly and keep flaming away non-stop as I run around after them.

GTA 3 Trial By Fire 6

There are usually quite a few Triads hanging out by the basketball courts, so you can quickly boost your kill count there.

GTA 3 Trial By Fire 7

Remember flames will go through solid objects in GTA 3, so you can still hit people even if they're behind walls or vehicles.

GTA 3 Trial By Fire 8

Keep cooking the Triads and you should be able to hit the target of 25 with around 1 minute remaining.
