GTA 4: First Date Walkthrough

GTA IV walkthrough · Niko Bellic

Take Michelle to the waterfront, play a game of bowling and return her home. You can handle Roman’s rescue before or after this date; neither ordering removes that story mission.

First Date — GTA IV

Mission walkthrough

  1. Pick up Michelle

    Meet Michelle at her apartment and use her car for the outing. Follow the carnival destination. The carnival is closed, so the date redirects you to the nearby bowling alley rather than ending at the first marker.

  2. Play bowling

    Enter the alley together and select an available lane. Follow the throwing tutorial and finish the game. You do not need a perfect score to complete this introduction to dating.

  3. Take her home

    Return to the car with Michelle and drive back to her apartment. Finish the drop-off interaction. If you ignored Roman’s call for help earlier, his rescue remains available and the opening of Bleed Out changes to reflect the delay.

Key point

Roman’s urgent phone call is a choice about which activity to do first. Helping him can postpone the date; completing the date first does not skip Bleed Out.
