The game is known for being one of the hardest in the franchise’s 3D history.
Some missions in the game are incredibly difficult, even if you’re looking at them through a modern lens. This is partially because of the challenging design, and partly because of unfortunate decisions made during development. Either way, they’re tough challenges.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the most difficult missions in Grand Theft Auto III. These are some of the most challenging and rewarding tasks in the game, and can be completed with a bit of luck and perseverance.
12. A Drop in the Ocean
A Drop in the Ocean is one of those GTA missions that can be frustratingly difficult if you make small mistakes. ..
Donald Love has asked you to pick up some packages that were dropped from a plane over the canal. These packages are very special and will help Donald in his business dealings. ..
The police boat is ideal for finding the missing plane or plane in the first place.
If you’ve recovered all of the packages and returned to land, you’ll need to get a car and drive away quickly to lose the heat and wanted level before returning to Love. This can be a difficult task if you don’t get the right car. ..
11. Escort Service
Donald Love, the influential media tycoon, has given Claude, the player character, an escort service. ..
Open-world games are all about exploring and discovering new things, but sometimes something can go wrong and the people being protected often seem uninterested in survival. This escort mission is one of the most annoying and feared activities by most open-world game fans, because it can lead to them getting lost or even killed.
You’ll need to protect the Old Oriental Gentleman riding in a safe but slow Securicar. ..
The Pike Creek area is a hotspot for drug trafficking and violence. The Colombian Cartel and their Cartel Cruisers are constantly attacking anyone in their way. The Securicar can take a beating, but if you’re not fast and alert, you’ll find out it has its limits - several times. Be prepared for the fight ahead and stay safe! ..
10. Import/Export – Dodo
Claude will have to procure specific vehicles and take them to garages in the Portland Docks and Pike Creek.
The Dodo is one of the most difficult bikes to find in Portland. It’s requested by the Portland Docks garage. ..
You’ll have to pick up the Francis International Airport from Shoreside Vale – and by “pick it up,” I mean going in guns blazing, getting on the Dodo, and flying it back to the garage.
The Dodo is a difficult side mission in Grand Theft Auto V. The bird has its wings sawed off at the mid-point, meaning it’s nearly impossible to fly properly.
If you think of it more as a glider than a plane, you may have an easier time flying.
9. Payday for Ray
Ray’s payday is hard because the enemies and feats are limited, but the game’s lack of a full-sized map makes it difficult to find your way around.
The Yakuza’s Asuka Kasen has given you a mission to deliver a dirty cop’s bribe.
Things seldom go as planned, and often require more effort than anticipated. ..
You’ll need to be brave enough to answer payphones all around Staunton Island, which is a real feat when you don’t have a map.
Option 1: You can choose to do what’s best for your family and friends, and hope that things will work out. Option 2: You can take a chance and see what happens if you go ahead with this plan.
If you want to succeed on Staunton Island, you need to be familiar with the mission and its every nook and cranny. ..
8. Bomb da Base: Act II
In GTA3, the Sniper Rifle is a powerful weapon that can be used to take down enemies with ease. However, when paired with escort missions, it can be difficult to survive. This is because enemies will constantly try to shoot you and your escort. To make matters worse, they will also use their firearms to shoot at your allies if they get too close.
In Act II, the player must complete a series of hard missions in order to progress. These missions can be difficult, and require a lot of practice and strategy.
You’ll need to keep an eye on 8-Ball as he plants explosives all along a cargo container ship docked in Portland Harbor. You’ll need to make sure that he doesn’t get too close to the ship or any of the other people on board.
The fact is, the location is crawling with Colombian cartel members – and you’ll need to take them down quickly if 8-Ball has any chance of survival. ..
8-Ball is incredibly fast and prone to getting himself killed, so you’ll have to memorize the locations of thugs by trial and error until you can do this without looking. ..
7. S.A.M.
Your role in this mission is to shoot down the Yakuza leader’s surface-to-air missile. This missile is a threat to our country and our people.
To retrieve some SPANK packages that’ll arrive shortly to the Francis International Airport, you’ll have to get a Rocket Launcher and head to the runway on Shoreside Vale by boat.
To win the game, you must shoot the Dodo as it lands on the platform. This is difficult to do if you try to do it from the sides, as self-preservation would dictate. ..
The Dodo was a large, white, flightless bird that flew around the island of Madagascar. It was easy to shoot at it head-on as it came close, and this caused the bird to crash into the ground.
I promise you won’t die from this. I’m not joking.
6. Grand Theft Aero
In Grand Theft Aero, the player takes control of a criminal mastermind who has been hired by a powerful organization to steal valuable items from various locations. The game features an innovative and exciting combat system that allows the player to switch between two different characters at will, as well as use a variety of vehicles to escape from capture.
The packages you picked up on that mission were just decoys – and the real ones are still waiting at the Francis International Airport. ..
The Colombian Cartel has killed the port authorities, so you’ll have to shoot your way through to reach the Dodo containing the package.
Unfortunately, the plane is empty. So you’ll have to track down the Cartel to the Panlantic construction site located in Shoreside Vale where – you guessed it – you’ll have to kill many more Cartel members.
You’ll likely be successful retrieving the package at some point.
The Colombian cartel is packing some serious firepower, and it might take you several tries to get through.
5. Kingdom Come
Your objective in Kingdom Come is to find an Esperanto and drive it back to King Courtney. The Esperanto you’ll need is called the “Kingdom Come” Esperanto, and it’s a language that was created in 1881 by a group of people who wanted to create a way for people from different parts of the world to communicate.
The enemies in this mission are regular cartel members, but it could have been worse.
Catalina’s suicide bombers will try to kill you in order to damage your ship. You’ll need to be careful not to get hit by their bombs. ..
Destroy all of the vans to complete the mission. ..
4. Mike Lips Last Lunch
The Forelli brothers owe mechanic Joey Leone a substantial amount of cash. And it’s up to mute criminal Claude to teach them to honor their debts – the hard way.
To steal Mike “Lips” Forelli’s Idaho, you will first have to steal it from Saint Mark’s Bistro in Portland. ..
You will drive the truck to 8-Ball’s shop in Harwood to have explosives attached and finally move it back to its original location. ..
That would be easy, were it not for the fact that any little scratch on the car could mean a costly repair. After all, we can’t have Mike noticing something’s off. ..
There is a time limit on this conversation. A very constraining time limit. I need to go on.
3. Rigged to Blow
In Red Jack leader D-Ice’s most memorable mission, the player is given the task of rigging a ship to blow up. This is an incredibly difficult task, as the ship must be rigged so that it can fly into a large rock formation and explode, causing massive damage to both the ship and its crew.
This mission is all about getting rid of a booby-trapped car. But unlike most other missions in the game, this one involves you trying to get the bomb out instead.
This mission is made difficult by the time limit and the fact that D-Ice won’t tolerate any damage to his car. ..
Luckily, you’re driving to a garage in Portland to get the explosives defused, so you won’t have to worry about scratching the Infernus on your way back.
2. Exchange
In the game’s final mission, players must complete a difficult task in order to earn the achievement “Hard Mode.” This task is not easy, and can take many hours of gameplay.
The startup will need to raise $500,000 in order to get started.
You will start the mission with no weapons, surrounded by a mob of Colombian Cartel members. You must kill them all to survive. ..
That is followed by the most intense vehicular chase sequence in the entire game. And to top it off, you’ll have to fight the Cartel again while Catalina fires rockets at you from an attack helicopter. ..
It’s tough as nails. ..
The Rocket Launcher in GTA3 is one of the most rewarding weapons in the game. When you finally hit Catalina’s helicopter with it, it’s one of the most satisfying feelings you’ll get.
1. Espresso-2-Go!
The Exchange mission in the game is not the most demanding.
Espresso-2-Go is one of Asuka Kasen’s tasks.
This mission follows Claude as he drives all around the city, destroying coffee stands that act as a front for the Colombian Cartel to sell cocaine.
In order to find anything in GTA3 without a map, you have to be creative. You can scatter nine coffee stands throughout Liberty City, and then hope that someone will see you and tell you where the hidden treasure is.
The mission is made difficult by the addition of a time limit. You’ll have to learn all of the locations by heart if you’re to destroy the stands and actually finish this thing.
I could have learned a new language or how to play an instrument in the time it took me to complete this tedious task. ..
If you’re stuck on this one, I suggest using a tutorial to help you out.
