Bail Bonds 1 - Ralph Ostrowski

Overview

Ralph Ostrowski is the first target in the Bail Bond series of Strangers and Freaks missions that Maude Eccles offers Trevor Philips. It unlocks after Mr. Philips. Maude sends each job by email, with a photo of the fugitive and a photo of his hiding place; the spot is not marked on the map, so the player has to recognize it. Ralph is hiding at Davis Quartz, the quarry just southeast of Sandy Shores in Blaine County.

Walkthrough

1. Read Maude's email and note the quarry photo.
2. Drive to Davis Quartz southeast of Sandy Shores and look for Ralph, who is alone.
3. Reach him before he gets into his Landstalker; if he flees on foot, catch him.
4. Subdue him with a Stun Gun, melee or by running into him so he surrenders. One Pistol shot also brings him down.
5. If he escapes in the Landstalker, shoot out two tires to make him give up.
6. Put him in your vehicle and take him to Maude's place, her trailer just east of the Alamo Sea.

Tips

• With a Sniper Rifle, shoot out the Landstalker's tires from a distance before he notices you, forcing him to run on foot.
• Bringing him in alive pays double, so avoid killing him.
• If you have no Stun Gun, a simple melee hit is enough to make him surrender.
• This bounty is a free-roam activity and cannot be replayed once done.

Rewards and unlocks

• $10,000 if Ralph is delivered alive, $5,000 if he is killed.
• Delivering a living target for the first time unlocks the "Wanted: Alive Or Alive" achievement/trophy.
• Not required for 100% completion.
