GTA:SA - Mission help req'd

Oh - there is a better way

But I'll not tell you now since you saved over it

well i did the tunnel bit as i had to hit the rings, when i got to the other side i swum to some rocks, climbed out the water, and found the nearest jetty and took a boat to the other side of the ship and made my way in from there.

i suppose i could have tried a plane/parachute combo to land on the ship, maybe i'll try that next time.

Ive just started playing this again the other day, never really got into it before, i only got to the 1st car bouncing mission where yer have to go look out for your sister, or the other one you can do with Ryder where you go to the army base, only about 5-6 missions in, so ive decided to play it again see more of the game as ive only mainly seen around where your live.

Didn't want to start a new thread for my problem, I'm currently on the mission Amphibious Assault, I have to dive and swim through these red rings, I already have my lung capacity at full (long boring tedious hrs doing that I can tell you), but I cannot dive and swim underwater quick enough to resurface in time. I'm using left click to dive and left shift to swim underwater, am I missing something?

I also have a problem I don't want to start a new thread for...

I've used a horseshoe map to find all the horseshoes but I've got 49 and I can't find the last one! I've gone through all the locations and I can't find it.

Any suggestions?

Well what I did, was to download the image of the location map, open it in paint, load up GTA, go through the places one by one and erasing it from the image with paint. Process of elimination. I thought I had them all, but missed a very obvious one that I thought I already had.

That's exactly what I've been doing, unfortunately I think I've made a mistake somewhere along the line! Oh well, he goes another afternoon of searching

I was hoping there was something I could modify with the game to tell me where it was hehe.

thansk for the replies guys.

i'm hating this stupid amphibious assault mission, just doesn't control properly when i try to dive and is giving me so much hastle just getting under the rocks.

OH MY GOD.

Tell me about it mate, got stuck on this mission for AGES last night because I kept getting stuck on the rocks, when i did this mission on the PS2 I had no problem with this bit. I ended up spending about 15 minutes in the sea just diving so i could get my lung capacity up enough that I could still get through the rocks without dying due to losing breath.

Annoyed me so much though.

Try this:

-Get a sniper rifle
-Start the mission
-When you find yourself in the water climb out on the nearest rock (only one you can reach)
-Aim yourself about 45 degree's to the left of where your supposed to go
-Run and jump to the rocks there. It may take a few goes but CJ will grab on and climb up.
-Make your way along the rocks careful not to fall back in. Ignore any messages about the rings.
-You'll see at least 1 boat (should be 2) with guards on them. Snipe to your hearts content :>
-Swim to boat and steal it
-Snipe other boat crew
-Take a long arc all the way around the ship your heading for so as to avoid the spotlights
-Park up and do your thing on the ship. Stealth is boring

-Return to your boat and sail away

Give it a go - beats the hell out of swimming

Cool, cheers Psymonkee, I'll give that a go.

Sweet, completed it fine, now on the 3rd Island/City but I cannot fly to save my life, I've done the first two lessons from the airfield, could anyone help me out if I sent them the saved game file?

to be honest, you'll need to learn to, I was terrible with the keyboard until I found out how to configure my xbox360 controller on the game which makes it a lot easier. There's quite a few flying missions so you should try and get a feel for it, saying that, there's 2 I still can't get gold on even using the controller.

Get a controller to use with the game, it's a lot better.

Psymonkee · 5 Sep 2006 at 18:36

I can 100% all flying missions with the keyboard :>

Practise until you can take it no more THEN mail me (see trust)

I'll give you a boost or two

I've finally found the last horseshoe but now I have a new problem.

Every gym keeps telling me to come back tomorrow so I did, I went back, said the same, next day, the same. Any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Psymonkee · 5 Sep 2006 at 22:49

Not too sure on that one.

Save and quit then reload and see if it clears up?

Failing that keep CJ awake for 24 game hours and then try?

thanks, I tried them but they didn't work, I did manage to fix it though, for future reference if anybody has this glitch this is what I did:

Changed all my clothes, tried gym...didn't work
Saved several times to add a day or two... didn't work
finally, I went to the santa maria beach gym which is located outside of course, I stole a police car and drove it to the outside-gym. I turned on vigilante, got out the car and tried to use the gym, it didn't let me, so I got back into the police car, turned off vigilante and tried again and it worked. Fixed!

I found the police fix on a different website, it doesn't work for everybody but it did for me!
