3.5 Tommy Vercetti
I. Rub Out
Go and get some Sniper Rifle, if you don't have already. Go just outside
Diaz's mansion and Lance will show up. He has been saving up for a rainy day
- you both now have M4s! Go to the left of Diaz's mansion and start Sniping.
go up the stairs but Lance may run off to take care of the guy on the left
who is inside the maze. When you reach the back of the house, Lance will run
off again so be prepared to give him back-up. Then go down to the Swimming
pool and then go down the Corridors, making sure to eliminate any of Diaz's
men. I recommend you choose the corridor on the right. Then, enter into the
main hall type place and Snipe Diaz. Tommy and Lance will then do the rest.
After completing this mission you get to own Diaz's Mansion! And, it also
has a Maverick helicopter on the roof!

II. Shakedown
Tommy, Ken, Avery and Lance are all in the mansion and decide that it's time
to take control of the City. Lance points out that the shops will no longer
pay protection money if they learn than Diaz is dead so Tommy decides he will
fix this, and will be back in 5 minutes. You will have a 5 minute time limit.
First of all, before activating this mission I'd leave a Sanchez or a PCJ in
your garage, and head to the mall. Enter it on your bike, and the first two
shops should be on your right and left:Tarbrush and Gash. Driveby their
windows, before heading up the stairs in the Gash shop to smash the upstairs
windows. While you're upstairs, you might as well take out the windows of
Countdown Records too. Then, Head down the escalators and smash the windows
of the jewellery shop. Whew! job done.

III. Bar Brawl
Some bar isn't payin protection money, so head down to the blip on your radar,
and snipe the two guards there, then go and talk to the bar owner, who will
tell you that DBP security are behind this. Then, go round the corner to DBP
security and start lobbin' grenades over the wall and try to eliminate as
many of those guards as you possibly can. if any try to get away or shoot
you, SPAS-12 or Colt Python them till they die.

IV. Cop Land
A guy screwed up planting a bomb in the mall and Lance isn't very pleased
with him, because now Cops are all over the mall and It'd be impossible to
get within a mile of it if you weren't a cop, so Tommy decides him and Lance
should dress up as cops in order to get in. First, get a one star rating and
go hide in the garage. Hopefully, you can lure two cops in there with no
problem. If you have a Two Star Rating, there is a chance that a Cop Car
could block the garages doors so they can't shut. Then, grab a helicopter, I
used the VCPD Maverick, but you can use a normal one if you want. Go into the
mall and then go into the shop on your right, and stand in the marker. Then,
RUN! get out of the mall and eliminate the Cop standing guard at the
entrance. Get into your helicopter and get out of there, otherwise the FBI
will be all over you if you want to go by car, so if you are in a Car, head
to a Pay 'N' Spray, FAST.

V. Cap the Collector
As mentioned before You will also need to have completed 5 asset missions
as well as the Print Works missions in order to be able to do the next two
missions.
Before even starting the mission, make sure you have bought every single
asset. Then, head down to the Print works in a fast car like an Infernus.
Mr. Kelly at the Print Works tells you that the Mafia came round and beat
him up, and you discover the Mafia are taxing all your businesses. First
head to the Boatyard, as that is where they are going to first, but by the
time I go there they'd already capped it, and were heading for sunshine Autos.
Eliminate them when they are heading for there and another set will show up.
Try to get them before they get there before yet another set turn up. Kill
these(either ram them off their bikes or drive-by them.) too. The order which
they go to in is Print works(Already done) to the Boatyard, to Sunshine Autos,
to the Malibu, to The Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, to Kaufmann Cabs, to
the Pole Position Club, to the Interglobal Film Studio.

VI. Keep your Friends Close
OK, are you ready? this is the last mission in story mode. When you
arrive at the mansion, Lance and Ken tell Tommy that Sonny and his
Mafia are coming from up north. Tommy tells Ken to get fake money
printed, and tells Lance to get the guys together. The three of them
then go down to meet Sonny, who then reveals something, Lance has sold
out. Lance then tells Sonny that the money is in the safe upstairs. You
now have to guard the safe, there is ammo next to you but DO NOT MOVE
from behind the desk. When I stayed behind the desk, the first time only
one Mafia man came, the second, none came. But, the first time I tried
this mission I went to get the Ammo and about 20 came. If they do come,
kill them using the SPAS-12 or The Colt Python, then go get Lance. Shoot him
once to make him run away. Head to where your helicopter is, shooting at
Lanceall the way up. Lance is guarded by goons so try to kill as many of
them as you can before Sprinting to the Helipad. Then, run down one of
the ramps to get Lance side-on so he doesn't have any barriers to protect
him. I just kept SPAS-12ing him and then the great comment made by Tommy
"It's the last dance for Lance Vance" During this point you will probably
recieve messages that the Mafia is stealing your money, ignore it as you
will get all your money back at the end anyway. Head back inside and Sonny
shows up with his bodyguards, just make sure you take out anyone who is in
your office who shouldn't be. After the Cut-Scene with Sonny, IMMEDIATELY
press L3. Him and his goons can't get you now, and all you can see is
Sonny's head. Tempting, isn't it? Pull out your PSG-1 and keep shooting
him in his head(it will take a few bullets) and now sit back, relax, and
enjoy the ending and the credits. Then get ready, you have more work to
do!

USER SUBMITTED STRATEGIES:
It's a very popular mission to submit strategies for! still, if you have
a good one don't hesitate to send it in, and that goes for EVERY SINGLE
MISSION.OK? Well, except for The Party, and An Old Friend :)

From:Colin
First kill off everone who comes in. Then when it tells you to get Lance
run down the main stairs, not up towards Lance. Then go downstairs to
refill with health and armor. Go back up but go to the floor that Lance
is on, and come up from behind him. Take out a rocket launcher and fire
at him. Make sure you aren't close to any walls so you don't blow yourself
up. If the rocket launcher trick doesn't work then use the spaz shotgun
and just fire away. Sometimes he dies and sometimes the game glitches and
Lance appears behind you, but either way he's lost some life. If he's not
dead get out the spaz and keep firing at him and hopefully you won't have
to go to the roof at all. If the game really screws you and he makes it
to the roof, then don't shoot anyone and run onto the helipad. If you have
grenades use those but if not get in the chopper and hover above them
until it sets on fire, then jump out or set it down quickly and run away.
The blast should kill everone around and hopefully not you. Then you have
to go and kill Sonny. Before you get the the top of the stairs kill everyone
in your office from the opposite side of the room. Once you get to the top
of the stairs the cut-scene appears. After its over press L3 quickly and duck.
Get out your sniper rifle and you should just see the top of Sonny's head.
Enjoy!

From:Teini
It's where you have to kill Lance Vance... if you have grenades, go to the
helipad and throw a few dawn, that shuold kill them all and no damage to you.

From:Richard Michael Lewis
I have the easiest strategy for Keep Your Friends Close. When you have to
kill lance, don't shoot him at all. Run out the front door. Blow up all
the cars and guys out front. Find a helicopter and take it to the roof.
Blow up everything. When you run inside from the roof, Lance is dead, all
the guys are gone, and you have to kill Sonny
