Rescue Roman from the loan sharks, then pursue Dardan through a car chase and an on-foot confrontation. This mission teaches both melee defence and tracking a fleeing target.
- Mission contact
- Roman Bellic
- Starting location
- Basketball court, off Onondaga Avenue in Firefly Projects, Broker
Mission walkthrough
-
Help Roman at the court
Reach Roman and fight Bledar and Kalem. Lock onto one attacker, dodge an incoming blow and counter instead of repeatedly swinging while surrounded. Deal with both men and return to Roman.
-
Chase Dardan
Get into Roman’s car, wait for him and follow Dardan. Watch the target’s turns rather than trying to force an immediate crash. At the industrial building, park, leave the car and follow the staircase when Dardan runs inside.
-
Finish the fight and return
Confront Dardan on foot. If he attacks with a knife, use the dodge-and-counter lesson and keep room to move. Once he is defeated, return to the car and drive Roman to the garage.
Key point
If you completed First Date before responding to Roman, the opening includes the consequences of leaving him waiting, including a hospital pickup. Continue following the current objective; it is a variation of the same mission.
