8.0 Secrets

8.1 Costumes
To find the locations of these costumes look at the map that came with Vice
City. Remember, you will need to do certain missions in order to unlock
them.
Street - Blue Hawaiian Shirt, and Jeans, Tommy's trademark outfit. Found at
Ocean View Hotel, Hyman Condo and at the Vercetti Estate.
Soiree - Blue suit, with black shirt. Found at Rafael's, Ocean Beach.
Coveralls - Dressed like a builder, Tooled up, North Point Mall.
Country Club - Golf outfit, Leaf Links.
Mr. Vercetti - Very Capone! Pinstripe suit, found at Collars & Cuffs, Ocean
Beach.
Cop Uniform - just like a cop, Found in Lockeroom in Police Station in
Washington Beach.
Tracksuit - Red Addidas style tracksuit found at Laundromat in Little
Havana.
Tracksuit - Black Addidas style tracksuit found at Jocksport, Downtown.
Casual - T-Shirt and Jeans, Gash, North Point Mall.
Bank Job - Friday the 13th style outfit, used for the bank job, Malibu Club,
Vice Point.
Havana - Dress like a Cuban - Inside Havana Streetware, Little Havana. For
Some reason, when I try to get this outfit, an invisible barrier blocks
the way and I don't know why
Frankie - "I completed Vice City and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt" -
Vercetti mansion after getting 100%

Iwan Best reckons that you can't get the Havana-It's because you're only
supposed to be able to get it on that mission where you use it, I think.

Well, I can confirm I HAVE THE HAVANA!!! see the glitches section, its
a bit down from here if you really want to get it

8.2 GTA3 references
GTA:Vice City is a prequel to GTA3

The Radio
Lazlow, DJ of VRock is the same guy that hosted Chatterbox 109 on GTA3
Fernando Martinez, DJ of emotion 98.3 is the same guy that was a guest on
Chatterbox 109 on GTA3
Toni, DJ of Flash, is the same woman that was the DJ of Flashback FM on GTA3
There is an advert for a Car called the "Maibatsu Thunder" In GTA3 there was
an advert for a car called the "Maibatsu monstrosity"
An English guy phones in on K-Chat and starts talking about how Freddy needs
to be hit with a broom. He is the same guy who phoned Chatterbox 109 and
demanded that Freddy be given a Nanny, because he needs to get Spanked
In the Ammunation advert, it mentions the Australian-American War. A Caller
on Chatterbox claimed to be a verteran of this war.

Cameos
Donald Love was a major boss in GTA3. Interestingly enough, when Donald was
there with Avery, Avery said something like this:"A Lesson in business my
friend, nothing drives real-estate prices down like a full-blown gang war
other than a biblical plague,but that might be going a bit too far in this
case" which is exactly what Donald Love said in GTA3. I'm not sure if Avery
said "my friend" but I know Donald did.
Phil Cassidy was the one-armed man who sold high powered weapons to you
from his yard, which is exactly what he is this time round. In GTA3, he said
he lost his arm in service in Nicuragua, yet we now know the truth.
Rockstar Games, in Ocean Beach has pictures of 8-Ball, El Burro, Kenji Kasen
and Maria from GTA3 in the window.
The Shooting Gallery in Ammunation, Downtown, has Misty from GTA3, and an
unamed man who was part of the manual, loading screen and map from GTA3 are
targets.
The Guy from GTA3 is on a poster in the hotel room.
And the Forellis of course! In the Joey Leone missions, they were the gang
you were tyring to kill, no references to Sonny however, I wonder why!

With thanks to Dragon447 For this one:
Buy Kaufman Cabs so you have the ability to enter it. Once inside, turn
right, you should see a conference table and some Video Arcade game machines.
If you look at the arcade machines, one of them should be called "Pogo the
Monkey." As you may know, Pogo the Monkey is an advertisement in GTA 3.

There's also billboards that say "Take a Vacation in Liberty City" that are
around the airport

Scenery
On Prawn Island, The Cinema and Bolt Burgers from Torrington are both
there, maybe it's just a film set of Liberty City.
This doesn't really count but the sunken tanker(see below) and one of
the big ships in the docks bear the words "Chatered Libertine Lines"
Libertine could be a reference to Liberty City
Marco's Bistro in the opening Sequence is also in GTA3, and was a
hangout for the Forellis.

Also, go to the fire house near the airport and look at the sign on it! Lazy
Rockstar has kept the same FDLC sign up, In fact, I think it's the same building
because it carries the same no parking under any conditions or something like
that sign. It's just to the north of the main hangars and has an antenna on top

Ok so these can't really be classed as secrets, but I wanted somewhere to
put them.So, from Cheapest to the most expensive:

The Ocean View Hotel - Bottom right of Ocean Beach - $0. You get it when
you start the game, it's just a save point with the street outfit in it
Vercetti Estate - Bottom of Starfish Island - $0. You get it after
completing Rub Out. It's a nice big mansion with a 2 car garage, helipad
on the roof, street outfit, health and armour.
Skumhole Shack - Downtown, just east from the Greasy Chopper, it's up some
stairs - $1000. Nothing, it's just a savepoint but it is in a prime sniper
spot
3321 Vice Point - North of the North Point mall which is in:Vice Point

8.8 Glitches
Because we all love(or indeed hate) them

I'm going to get it, invisible wall or no invisible wall
Go to Little Havana Streetware, which is on the road just South of the
Printworks, (I'm not sure if I remember this correctly, but if you go to
where the bottom right hand corner of the light blue Square that surrounds
the $ sign on the map) and it's a yellow building with palm trees near it.
Anyway, get a PCJ-600, park it inside the door and blow it up, then jump
on top of the PCJ, then face the Havana outfit sign, and jump. If you're
lucky you will hit the Outfit and change before being warped outside,
and if you're unlucky you'll just fall and get warped outside

But I wanna have a Bike in there!
Go to your mansion on a bike, and drive up to the entrance like you're
going to go in, but bail off your bike at the last second. The bike will
be inside when you go in. Don't try this in a car, the Game will crash

And Iwan Best has told me 1.Your game does NOT crash if you bail your car
and let it roll into your mansion. Its just very hard to get it to roll
straight in.

More Biking Tomfoolery
Position a Bike onto a change clothes icon, so that when you get on the
bike you will have also changed clothes(the best way to do this is to
get off and push) and Tommy will have become one with the bike and can't
fool off.

*STRANGE* World
Drive a Caddy into the North Point Mall. Strange eh? Then try to exit the
mall on foot. A random gang will be created and inhabit the mall. The first
time I did this it was Trendy Women, the second time it was car jackers.
They have gang programming too. Anyway, leave the mall in your Golf Cart.
The whole world has become *STRANGE* The only people inhabiting it is the
new gang(in vast hordes), DPB Security Guys and the occasional cop(If you
break the law) All buildings and things are invisible, so it's hard to get
around. When I first left the mall there was no traffic, and I discovered
a parked Ambulance. I decided Paramedic missions might be easier, so I
decided to try it, but gave up after about 10 seconds. Traffic then started
appearing, but it was too weird so I went to Ocean Beach(The radar still
appears) and walked into the sea. Everything became normal again, whew!

The Return of:The Blue Hell
Get a tank and do the Dodo Car Cheat, then just fly up to the tallest
building you can find(The top half of it usually isn't solid) and then fly
straight down inside the middle of it, and enter:BLUE HELL!!!

Walk Through Walls Cheat!
Park a Car right next to a wall(so it is touching the wall) in a kind of
T Shape(Horizontal line in the T is the wall, and the vertical one is the
car) then enter the speed up gameplay cheat twice. Run at the diagonal
between the car and the wall(ie where the car and the wall touch) and if
you are lucky you will go through the wall. You may need to reposition the
car somewhat though. And also, be careful, some of the floors of Buildings
are not Solid.

Iwan Best(yes he E-mailed me many times, so get used to him telling me
additional information in this section) has told me this:

You only need to enter the speed up time cheat once to walk through walls.I
did it once on GTA3 without using any cheats at all but I haven't managed
that on vice city yet.

But still, it's easier to do it with the cheat on twice though...

My beautiful weapons, nooooo......
The Colt Python Glitch
Sometimes even when you lock onto people and press O, the Python won't
fire, but Tommy will go into his firing animation. To combat this
just press R1 again and he should be able to shoot at the target

Iwan Best has told me that it works with the ordinary shotgun, and
he is not sure about the SPAS-12. I personally have used the SPAS-12
a hell of a lot of times, and it hasn't happened to me. But maybe that's
on individual games..
The Bomb Glitch
Teini has informed me that when he had Bombs in his inventory, after a
while they morphed into Grenades. No-one knows why.....
Teini has also found another bomb glitch:

This is if you have completed your game 100% and therefore have infinite
ammo. Throw one bomb. Then explode it. The "Remote control" is still in
your hand even when the bomb has already exploded! And you can't change
weapon. If you tap O Tommy will only push the button and nothing happens
(because the bomb has already exploded)!
There is only one way to cancel the glitch.
You must save, then load. Go behind a Police Station, change explosive
weapon to Nerve Gas. DO NOT TAKE ANY OTHER EXPLOSIVE!!! I've tried and
only thing happens is that if you for example take molotovs, the "remote
control" appears in your hand and you can't do nothing. After you have
changed Bomb to Nerve Gas, you can change it safely to for example,
Molotovs.

Thanks again Teini!

Iwan Best has told me that his mate has found that you don't need to save
and reload if this has happened to you, but still, I guess you can if you
want

The Hideouts are rebelling
DO NOT save at the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, that Crazy lady will
corrupt or delete your save files. Not good.
Do NOT put any rare cars in your garages in Hyman Condo, unless you can
give up using the Maverick that's on top of it.

Perhaps it was a Pizza Cutter
Sometimes patients who need to go to hospital are inside Pizza restaurants
which is highly annoying

Pizza Cake(And if you can tell me* what GTA2 Mission I got that from, well
done.)
Sometimes it appears no-one is actually working in the Well-Stacked Pizza
restaurant, but it is because you(yes YOU) have pointed a gun at them and
they are now in permanent hiding.

Pizza Patheticness
Jump over a counter of the Pizza Restaurant, and fire a shot but make
sure you do NOT hit the Pizza guy with the bullet. Look at his unusual
pose. If you punch him, he will merely get back up and stand there,
he won't fight back or run away.

Dinghy
Flip a Dinghy while you are in one. You don't drown! Instead you end
up on top of it.

Iwan Best has told me:
With the glitch where the dinghy flips and you can carry on driving
thats happened to me in another boat.I'm not sure what its called but
its a thinner version of the Rio.If you really want to know send me
pictures of the ones that it could be and I'll tell you.
Hmm... I think he could mean the reefer, that's the only one I can
think of

Vigilante Style
Let me do a Prelude to this one. A long time ago, in the days of GTA3
I recall seeing a thread about how someone had broken the law and a
load of Blistas had come after them. Well, in Vice City, I Blew up the
Ice Cream Truck(Look in the fun things section, that is exactly what I
did) and I might have shot a couple of identical pedestrians in the
process. You know the Old Black Man in the Dark Suit and Sunglasses?
him. Anyway, I recieved a Wanted Level for blowing up the van, and
I think one of those men died in the explosion of the Ice Cream Truck
(I know I killed one with my MP5 accidentally) all of a sudden, three
Blista Compacts seemed intent on ramming my car, so I kept driving on
and going round bends thinking that the drivers were scared by the
explosion. Eventually I decided to get out of the car and shoot the drivers
because they were annoying me. The Blista Compacts tried to run me down!
All 3 of them were driven by that Old Man(No, not the ones that had died
obviously) so I blew up their cars. Weird.

Again, Iwan has discovered more glitchery:

This won't really help but that thing with cops happened to me. I was bored
so I put the higher wanted level cheat on my backup file and I got FBI coming
in Landstalkers.

Super Mario
I don't know if this is a permanent thing but I don't remember it happening
before. I went up to a group of Marios (3 in blue shirt, one in black shirt)
And I shot the first Blue Shirt in the head with the M4 , which for some
reason didn't decapitate him, but he fell to the floor and stayed there so
I assumed he was dead. Next, the guy in the black shirt ducked, like Tommy
does when he is out of breath so I shot the other two Marios in the Head,
but it didn't fall off either. I then shot the balck shirt guy in the head
a couple of times and he didn't fall to the ground. Anyway, the other 3
Marios had been on the ground for quite some time now, but they all got
back up! I kept shooting all the Marios in their head. Later on I discovered
that all Marios survive head shots from my M4, I don't know if this is just
a glitch or whether it's a permanent thing on everyone's game.

Iwan "I like E-mailing Psychotic34 many times to get revenge on him for spelling
my name wrong" Best says it isn't on his game, so it is obviously from game to
game. I know for a fact that it is on my game, I always shoot the Marios in
the head with the M4.

Get a Helicopter in the mansion!
I thank Iwan Best for this one

Get into the Sea Sparrow (any helicopter works, but this one is easier) that
is in the back yard of the Vercetti Mansion, fly over to the Indoor Swimming
Pool, and fly up. You'll be in a ghost world of the mansion [like the one
in the North Point Mall] DON'T GET OUT! It'll mess your game up. Fly inside
the big black box that is at the top of the inside out mansion. Land the
chopper and go outside the door. You'll be inside the mansion with the
helicopter waiting for you

Another thing Iwan has noticed is:

I've just found something out about the helicopter in mansion trick. Save
before attempting this!!!!! I'l explain why at the bottom.once you get in to
the inside-out mansion go up to the black box and go underneath it.fly forward
until you get to an invisible wall.while holding X press triangle a few times
and you should bail. You'll fall for about ten seconds (this is completely safe.
I'v done it four or five times on my backup file) and you'll end up in that
corridor that leads to the indoor swimming pool.leave it at either exit and
you'll be free to walk around the inside-out mansion and garden.

From here walk around for a while until the sea sparrow re-spawns and you
can fly around starfish island.land,grab a car and leave whichever side you
came from and you are now free in the inside-out world.(the game might freeze
sometimes so make sure you save before you try this.)

***Also, I think you can get the Ghost Mansion effect if you use the walk
through walls trick to get into it, I haven't tried it since owning the
mansion(I started a new go to see if I could bust into Starfish Island
early on) but before you own it it's in a strange ghost state that is like
the North Point Mall when you drive a Caddy into it***

A third way:
Go into the Ocean View Hotel, and head into the corner near the window
where the tables are, then walk through the plant. You will end up in
some strange but small outside ghost world, and there is an invisible
corridor, trapping you between the hotel and the outside world. The Cops
can shoot you, but you can't shoot them. Ahem, unless you flame-thrower
or Rocket Launcher/Anything flamey/explosive them.

So now we have two ways of going into the inside-out world! know any more?
E-mail me, psychotic_34@hotmail.com

Rampage weirdness
Thanks to Marco Spurk for this one
I saved after completing two or three rampages, so I lost more and more
weapons eg mp5 after drive by rampages. But not my good old colt, and
after each safehouse visit my ammo starts growing! I got s 800, 1500,
3300 and so on and now I have unlimited colt ammo - even after safehouse
visits! (there is no more number under the weapon like in rampages)
strange.... but hey - unlimited! ;o) and I think the colt glitch is gone,
too.

The Job
Marco Spurk also sent in this glitch
I tried this mission 3 or 4 times, and the glitches Sucked!. When I had
to get the Manager I wanted to go into the lift. The manager is following
- but not in the lift! He stopped in the room in front of the lift and rested
there! and Tommy can't move anymore because of the pink dot.... very
annoying. I had to reload my. Same thing happens later with the locksmith
(Cam Jones)
