Mission walkthrough

  1. Finish the two prerequisite branches

    Complete Blow Fish for Toni and Cutting the Grass for Salvatore. If the briefing marker is not available, check both chains rather than assuming only one contact controls this part of the story.

  2. Visit Salvatore

    Enter the mission marker at his property and watch the briefing. Act I is a short story scene, not the ship assault itself. There is no hidden target to find or vehicle to destroy during this stage.

  3. Go to 8-Ball's shop

    After the briefing, follow the new contact marker to Harwood. The second act is launched through 8-Ball, so returning repeatedly to Salvatore will not start the rooftop defence.

  4. Prepare the money and a save

    You need $100,000 for the next stage. If short, complete available missions and side activities before returning. Keep a separate save with the earlier Luigi and Joey jobs completed; Last Requests follows the ship attack and closes those unfinished chains.

Key point

Act I and Act II are separate entries. The absence of a firefight after Salvatore's scene is normal; the action starts when you continue with 8-Ball.
