Mike Lips Last Lunch

Overview

Mike Lips Last Lunch is the first Joey Leone mission in GTA III. The Forelli brothers owe Joey money, and he wants to send them a message. Mike "Lips" Forelli is eating at Marco's Bistro in Saint Mark's, and his car is parked outside.

Joey's plan is simple: steal the car, have 8-Ball rig it with a bomb, and return it before Mike finishes his meal.

The mission is the game's introduction to 8-Ball's bomb shops. Once it has been completed, Claude can return to 8-Ball's garage in Harwood to fit timed, ignition-triggered or remote-detonated bombs to his own cars, which opens up new ways to approach later assassinations.

Walkthrough

1. Drive from Joey's Garage in Trenton to Marco's Bistro in Saint Mark's.
2. Steal Mike Forelli's Idaho parked outside.
3. Drive the car to 8-Ball's garage in Harwood to have the bomb fitted.
4. Return the car to its parking spot outside the bistro before the timer runs out.
5. Walk away and wait for Mike to get in; the bomb goes off when he starts the car.

Tips

• Drive carefully; a damaged car may make Mike suspicious.
• Park the car exactly in the marker and move away from it before Mike comes out.

Rewards and unlocks

Claude earns $10,000. The mission unlocks Farewell 'Chunky' Lee Chong and introduces 8-Ball's bomb shop, where car bombs can be bought later.
