100% Walkthrough Guide: Cesar and Kendl Missions

CESAR VIALPANDO

This mission starts at Sweet's place and introduces you to CJ's sister's boyfriend, Cesar.

Optional: Stop off along the way to the first marker for a few more tags.

Click here for the Tag Map if you need further information.

Tag #14: Stop by the gun icon on your map. Pick up some more ammo if you like, it will help. Get the tag just southwest of here on the corner of the street.

Tag #15: Just northeast of the gun icon in the shopping mall around the corner on the south side of the street.

Tag #16: Now go southwest onto the bridge road. Drive east over the bridge and turn right. The tag is on the street corner to the south.

Tag #17: Head back to the bridge road but turn into the alleyway just south of it. Drop down the slope and go a little to the west to the base pillar wall of the bridge where you'll find the tag.

Head to the marker and follow the instructions. You don't need to buy any mods for your car if you don't want to.

Optional: Stop off for five more tags in the block between the Pay N' Spray and the next marker.

Tag #18: From the Pay N' Spray look north-west and you should see a 'Wholesale Produce' and 'Security Storage' building. The tag is in a window recess here.

Tag #19: Head south from the Pay N' Spray to where the road bends west. Stand in the car park here and look north, you should see the tag on the wall here.

Tag #20: Go back to the Pay N' Spray and go west, then turn north. The tag is behind the car wash sign on top of the gas station roof. To get up there you'll need to park a vehicle on the east side of the building, jump on top of the car and pull yourself up onto the roof.

Tag #21: Head west along the street then turn south. There's a tag on the wall under the bridge by the station, you'll have to drop down the steep wall to get to it then run east or west to get back out.

Tag #22: Is just northeast of the marker on the south wall of the Liquor Mart.

When you get to the marker you'll have the choice to raise or lower the bet amount. The higher you bet the better your opponents will be so the harder it'll be to win. It's safer to just bet low, especially if you're learning the moves here.

The controls for the 'dance' differ for console and PC versions of the game. Console users need to use the right analog stick, PC users need to use the num pad arrows (so 8 = Up, 2 = Down, 4 = Left, 6 = Right).

Follow the arrows and hit the corresponding control as the arrow passes through the circle. If you fail you'll have to drive back to Sweet's place to pick the mission up again from the start.

If you get out of the car and hang around for a second you'll get a call from Cesar opening up the next mission, but you may want to go and save your game first.

  

HIGH STAKES, LOW RIDER

Optional: On the way to Cesar's marker pick up a few more tags.

Click here for the Tag Map if you need further information.

Tag #23: If you go over the footbridge over the tracks just east of Unity Station you should see this tag above a door on the house just to the southeast. You'll need to pull yourself up on the ledge and stand on the far corner and turn sideways to spray the tag.

Beware of getting shot at in this heavily gang controlled area.

Tag #24: Head southeast to the road and find the tag opposite the tattoo parlor on the west side of the street by the bar.

Tag #25: Is on the south wall of the sex shop (pink lower walls) on the corner to the south.

Tag #26: Is to the west, just past the turning for Cesar's marker. It's on the short stretch of green fence on the north side of the street before the road goes up onto the flyover.

Tag #27: Is on the east wall of the house just north of Cesar's marker.

Drive into the marker in a lowrider car. If you don't have one or it's pretty beat up already there's another one just down the road in a driveway.

Follow Cesar to the starting marker.

Race through each of the red markers. Take care not to hit anything or take corners too fast, lowriders handle terribly and you'll lose a lot of time if you hit anything or lose control on corners. When you reach the marker at the top of the pier go full speed to the end of the pier to win.

You must finish in first place or you'll fail the mission.

Tag #28: Is at the end of the pier in the south-east corner up a short flight of steps. You should see it if you're facing northwest from the southeast corner.

Tag #29: Is near the top end of the pier. It's on the south wall by the beach in front of the Pay N' Spray.

Tag #30: Is further east along the beach at the top of the next pier. It's on the northeast corner of the building next to the road by the top of the pier.

Tag #31: Is further east again, where the road turns south before the underpass. Before you get to the underpass stop at the junction with the smaller road going east and find the 'Banamericana Travel' store on the corner. The tag is on the west wall of this building.

Tag #32: Head east along the road from the Banamerica building, take the next turning south and follow this long winding road up to the gardens and observation building at the top. Walk along to the building at the far end of the gardens, go up the stairs on the north (right) side of the building and find the tag on the far south side of the dome next to the stairs.

Tag #33: Grab a car and take a shortcut off the cliffs south of the observation point onto the highway below. Follow the highway along the underpass and along to the airport. Take the exit off the highway just before the overpass and make your way to the top level of the departures area behind the big dome-shaped building with several support struts. The road behind this splits into two parallel roads, you want to head to the southern one. The tag is on the wall near the junction with the dome building.

Tag #34: Go southwest back towards the highway, but follow the airport ring road south. Stop where the road turns east and drops down into the underpass by the south shoreline. Walk along the top of the southern wall of the underpass until you get to the wall at the end. You should see the tag on this wall. Turn carefully to spray the tag, it's easy to fall off since you need to be right at the edge to spray it.

Next: Home Invasion

  

KING IN EXILE

This isn't really a mission, just a cutscene setting up the later side mission to chase down drug couriers. Cesar tells you Smoke sends a car into San Fierro twice a week which comes back with drugs. He wants you to check it out. As CJ goes outside he gets a call from Catalina telling him to get his ass to her cabin. Best do as she says...

Next: First Base

  

DECONSTRUCTION

This one starts at your garage in San Fierro.

Head up into the construction area, grab a bulldozer and use it to ram the portables. Beware of the explosives barrels though. Once all of the portables are gone get rid of the construction foreman in the portable toilet, use the bulldozer to push him into the pit, then get the cement truck and reverse it into position at the marker.

Completing this mission unlocks the Driving School and you'll get a call from Jethro telling you to go there to build up your driving skills. It's your choice though, you can alternatively go to Zero's RC shop and buy it (if you have $30,000), then do missions for Zero, or you can do Triad missions from the garage.

Optional:

Click here for the Snapshot Map if you need further information.

Snapshot #8: The snap is at the top of the tall crane at the construction site.

Next: Zero

  

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY

Drive over to Cesar, get in his car and drive to the marker in Angel Pine. Be careful not to wreck the car, it's a long journey and you'll fail if you do.

Once at the marker take the stairs up to the roof and walk into the marker there.

Use the camera to photograph the faces of all four people who turn up. Zoom in for a clear picture.

Optional:

If you have a spare $20,000 go buy the nearby safehouse. If you don't go save your game at the other nearby save point.

You'll also get a call about bike couriers taking drugs cross-country. You can go take them out for some extra cash if you want, but this side-mission doesn't count towards your 100% complete stat.

Grab a vehicle and drive back into San Fierro.

Optional:

Take the highway and stop off once you've crossed the bridge into San Fierro for a few snapshots.

Click here for the Snapshot Map if you need further information.

Snapshot #17: Head left off the highway to the beach and look back at the bridge. The snapshot is above the bridge.

Snapshot #18: Get back on the highway but take the exit onto the road going north along the shoreline. Take the first right and stop just before the hotel entrance. the snapshot is of the tower above the entrance.

Snapshot #19: Go northwest a little from the hotel entrance. The snapshot is above the center of the basketball courts.

Next: Side Missions: Special Move 2

  

ZEROING IN

Start this mission from your garage.

After the cutscene keep up with the markers before you lose the signal from the tracking device. Don't be afraid to cut corners, any shortcut helps shorten the chase.

Eventually you'll catch up with the target's car. The instructions state you need to do a P.I.T. manoever on the car, but it's not strictly necessary, just ram it until the driver gets out if you prefer.

Optional:

If you end up as far north as we did before getting the car to stop there's a couple of nearby snapshots.

Snapshot #41: High up on the first suspension tower on the bridge near Jizzy's place. It's in the middle about halfway up.

Take the car back to the garage to finish the mission.

  

TEST DRIVE

Start this mission from your garage.

Drive to the marker.

After the cutscene drive out of the showroom window and follow Cesar.

After a long and winding joy ride around San Fierro Cesar will finally lead you back to the garage.

  

CUSTOMS FAST TRACK

This starts from your garage again.

Drive to the marker.

Optional:

Snapshot #42: There's a big covered dry dock next to the crane. The snapshot is above the covered entrance. Stand at the entrance to the warehouse behind it to get the shot.

Get in the crane. Follow the instructions to move the containers off the ship to the ground below. Don't drop the containers before they touch ground or the car inside may blow up.

Regardless of which you pick the car will always be in the last container.

Once Cesar opens the container three waves of attackers will turn up. Get out of the crane and help Cesar kill them all.

Drive the car back to the garage.

  

PUNCTURE WOUNDS

Get in the modified car outside your garage and head to the marker in the countryside.

Chase after the car shown on the radar and get in front of it. Now follow the instructions to throw down a stinger. The car's tires should pop and the driver will abandon it.

Get in the car and drive it back to the garage carefully. Damaging it is OK, but if you blow it up for whatever reason you'll fail the mission.

Wang Cars will generate up to $8,000 a day for you once you complete this mission, and you've now finished all of the main missions in San Fierro.

Optional:

Snapshot #43: If you look on the map at the block northwest of your garage, there's a rectangle with two squares, one white, one gray. If you stand on the northeast corner of this block and look up the snap is of the tower on the corner.

Snapshot #44: Head east to the northeast corner of the block directly north of your garage. There's a snap of the four 'prongs' at the top of the tall building here.

Snapshot #45: Go east to the next block and stand between the three buildings. Look northeast between the gap in the two buildings. There's a snap above the tallest building in San Fierro, the 'Tall Pointy Building'.

Snapshot #46: Save your game before you start this one. Grab a fairly sturdy vehicle like a police car and drive to the military docks just south of the two bridges on the east coast. Go in via the open barrier gate on the north side. You'll get a five star wanted level at this point, so be as quick as possible. Drive east along to the end of the pier, stop, get out and take a picture of the guns on the bridge of the battleship moored by the pier. Get back in your car and drive to a Pay N Spray or just save your game to lose your wanted level.

Next: Side Mission: San Fierro Courier

  

LOS DESPERADOS

Follow the on-screen instructions to recruit two Grove Street gangsters, then drive to the marker.

Clear out the Vagos neighbourhood.

When all of the Vagos are dead head to the alleyway. Kill more Vagos here, watch out for the those hiding in the garage.

Use a long-range weapon, sniper rifle or AK47, to get rid of the guy with the rocket launcher, then kill any remaining Vagos to secure the hood.

Next: Gang Wars
