Gripped!

Overview

Gripped! is the fourth and hardest off-road checkpoint challenge in GTA III. It is set around Wichita Gardens in Shoreside Vale and uses a Patriot, with twenty checkpoints placed on steep hills and cliffs.

Walkthrough

1. Get into the Patriot at the start in Wichita Gardens.
2. Collect the first checkpoint on a small hill to the south.
3. Return to the start and approach the second checkpoint from the north.
4. Climb the steep cliffs for checkpoints three to five, then work through the rest.

Tips

• The hardest part is at the start, so failed attempts are quick to retry.
• If you fail with the car intact, get out and back in to restart.
• Do not try to climb the cliff straight from the first checkpoint.
