Love Of Money

Published by Psy
Last Updated

8-Ball tells Mike he just survived an attempt on his life and more people are heading to take them down.

As you head to the mission start point, you'll once again see the floor littered with dead bodies.

Walk into the blue circle to start the mission.

8-Ball Listen, man. I'm sorry I couldn't warn you about Vinnie sooner but I've been on the run soon after Vinnie's bombing. I just found out myself from the goons Vinnie sent to take me out. You may have seen them on your way in.
Mike Yeah, I saw the dead bodies out front. It's good to see you, 8-Ball. I'm glad they weren't able to take you down.
8-Ball You too, man. But this isn't over yet, I think there'll be more people gunnin' for you. The word's out that you took down Vinnie and that you've got his money.
Mike But Vinnie squandered most of it! I only got a hundred g's - not worth turning these streets into a blood bath!
8-Ball It doesn't matter what the facts are, it's what people believe, man. Now you're on top of their list, and gangs like the Cartel, and the... what the hell's that noise?

All of a sudden an explosion occurs and a bunch of gangsters attack the place. Outside, 8-Ball is knocked down.

Cartel Boss You're going to pay for killing Cisco! He treated you like a son and had high hopes of educating you in fashion sense and the merits of giving driver licenses to illegals! This is how you repay him?
Mike It wasn't me! When I came back to the scene, he was already dead.
Cartel Boss I don't believe you and neither do my men. Prepare to die!

You've got 2 minutes to kill all of the enemies in the area. There are about 10 of them and they have a fair amount of health. They'll take a few blasts from a shotgun, but a good weapon for this mission is a flamethrower which can help keep them off you.

Mike Damn it! 8-Ball is down. I can't let these bastards get him...

You'll now have a 4 minute timer and another wave of enemies to take out. They'll appear from all angles, so the safest way to take them out is to stay near the buildings and force them to run down the alleyways straight towards you.

GTA Advance Love Of Money 8

A shotgun or flamethrower are great weapons to take them out quickly.

GTA Advance Love Of Money 9

There's some health behind the restaurant just to the South if you need it and some Body Armor to the North of the compound.

Mike Hmmm, this doesn't look good...

A bunch more enemies will head towards you. If you stick in the alleyways alongside the buildings they'll be much easier to pick off and you'll avoid a lot of damage.

Mike Damn, here comes another group of Cartel thugs.

Another wave of heavily armed enemies will swarm in, but they go down fairly quickly if you let them get close and blast away with a shotgun.

GTA Advance Love Of Money 14

The health and armor picks have probably respawned if you need to pick them up.

Mike Damn, I didn't realize Cisco had so many working for him...

One final wave of enemies will attack, but following the same tactics, you should be able to get through them without any major drama.

GTA Advance Love Of Money 17

Remember to use the buildings for cover and shoot the enemies as they come around the corner.

GTA Advance Love Of Money 18

Once there's a few remaining, head around the compound to mop up the final enemies.

Mike 8-Ball! The Cartel has pulled back. Let's get out of here! The cops will be here any second.
8-Ball Naw, man. I can't move. My legs are busted and I'm burned real bad. You go on without me.
Mike I'll make it up to you someday, 8-Ball. I promise!

Mike heads outside of the restaurant, leaving 8-Ball behind.

If you've played GTA 3, you may realise GTA Advance is a prequel to that story, and this scene is where 8-Ball's injuries from the start of GTA 3 come from... Who can forget "my hands are all messed up so you better drive brother"! It also explains why he was in prison and in the police van heading over the Callahan Bridge.

Mike The cops are on to me since I just took out half of the cartel gang. I'd better lose them.

You now have a wanted level and need to get rid of it.

GTA Advance Love Of Money 22

There are two choices. You can either grab a non-police vehicle and get to the nearby Pay 'n' Spray, or you can head to your hideout which is also pretty close by. If you've completed at least 10 Vigilante missions you'll be able to use the Police Bribes in your Hideout Items to clear the wanted level - which is what I chose to do.

Mike Damn, the cops got 8-Ball. All my friends are either dead or in jail. They think I'm easy pickings because I'm only one man. I'm tired of running and getting ambushed by unknown assailants. I'm going on the offense. It's time to bring the heat to them.

Mission Passed!

GTA Advance Love Of Money 26

After the mission, there's no pager message from a contact, but you'll be told to track down the cartel boss. You'll need a vehicle to start the next mission, so take one with you.
