Overview

Dead Man Walking is the first FIB mission in Grand Theft Auto V. Dave Norton asks Michael to check whether a suspected terrorist informant, Ferdinand Kerimov, is really dead, which means getting inside an IAA-secured morgue in Strawberry the hard way. It is Michael's first job under the FIB's control.

Walkthrough

  1. Meet Dave at the Galileo Observatory. He knocks Michael out so he can be smuggled into the morgue.
  2. Wake up in a body bag, subdue the medical examiner and take out the guard quietly.
  3. Check the bodies and photograph the corpse tagged with Kerimov's name.
  4. When IAA agents raid the building, fight your way out.
  5. Escape to the Murrieta Oil Field, meet Dave and FIB agent Steve Haines, and fight off the remaining agents.
