Blood Brothers

Overview

Blood Brothers is one of the key moral choices of Grand Theft Auto IV. Francis McReary meets Niko in Castle Garden City and scolds him for working with his brother Derrick, who Francis says plans to talk to a journalist about the family and Francis' corruption. Francis orders Niko to kill Derrick during a meeting he has set up. Derrick then contacts Niko with the opposite request: kill Francis. Niko has to choose which McReary brother dies.

Walkthrough

1. Meet Francis in Castle Garden City and hear his request.
2. Take Derrick's call and his counter-offer.
3. Go to the rooftop overlooking the meeting between the brothers.
4. Shoot the brother you have chosen to kill.
5. Leave the area and lose any wanted level.

Tips

• If you plan to kill Derrick, call Francis from the rooftop to raise the fee.
• Sparing Francis lets you call him later to clear wanted levels of up to three stars, a strong gameplay benefit.
• Sparing Derrick is the more sentimental choice, as he is the brother Packie defends.

Rewards and unlocks

• $10,000, or $20,000 if Niko raises Francis' fee.
• Undertaker, the funeral of the brother who dies.
