L.A. Noire

[TruthLies]

I have designed this guide to echo my experiences in playing through the game - first mostly for fun, and then going back for the collectibles and all 5 stars. This includes all DLCs as well. So, if you want to go for everything at once, look for the collectible and full 5 star case guide toward the end of my achievement guide.

Difficulty : 5/10 (just takes time)
Time to 1,200: 25-35 hours (depending on you driving vs partner driving)
Offline : 60
Online : n/a
Minimum Playthroughs: One (then you can replay individual cases, or free roam the whole city for each desk to get the other film reels, small cases, etc)
Missable achievements: Several story-related secret achievements, but if you have knowledge of them going in, you will likely get most, if not all, of them the first playthrough.

Special note: This game is a LOT of fun, so i suggest a first playthrough for fun to get to know the game, and then diving in to more easily attain achievements.

Main Game Achievement Guide: 32 Achievements for 1,000

I will do my best to order this guide the way i received the achievements to make it easiest to follow for order sake.

1) Auto Enthusiast - 15 G - Drive 5 different vechicles.

This will be one of the first achievements you get. Each type of cop car counts as one, and then like in GTA, you can run up to any car (almost any) and hit Y and you'll say "police emergency, i need to use this car" or another line. It's kind of hard collecting cars going forward because so many of them look the same.

2) Police Academy - 15 G - Complete all cases on the Patrol desk.

This is for clearing the first few cases, which, in essence, serve as the tutorial as they teach you the various methods of investigation. They don't give you ratings for these, so just follow your instincts and have fun. The last case of the patrol desk, just so you know, is Buyer Beware.

3) A Cop on Every Corner - 15 G - Complete a street crime case.

Once you reach the traffic chase, you are able to receive calls while driving in a cop car, to respond to a smaller case. You will need to hit A to respond to the radio broadcast, which will add the little AOL person looking icon to the map. Go there and finish the case. Most of these involve shootouts, chases into shootouts or chases in general and none of them take more than a couple minutes.

4) One For The File - 15 G - Find and inspect a clue as a detective.

The only key part of this is that you need to be up to the Traffic desk, because the first couple crimes you respond to you are a street cop and not a detective. So, once you are up to the traffic desk and you are at the railyard, inspect one of the key clues, like either of the items in the trunk of the car (ones that are added to your notebook) and the achievement will unlock.

5) The Plot Thickens - 15 G - Solve an investigation puzzle.

Throughout the game, once in a while you will come across an item that you need to solve a simple puzzle to unlock the piece of evidence. The first you run into will be in the first traffic case, "The Driver's Seat." Outside of the missing man's home, search the heater, and you will have to put the pipe pieces back to see which one is missing. Solve it, and this will unlock. Another hard-to-miss one is in the homicide desk, one of the crime scenes has a small globe. You need to turn the top few pieces to match the bottom piece, which cannot be moved, to make a correct globe.

6) The Hunch - 30 G - Use four intuition points in one interview to correctly respond to all questions.

Shortly after solving the pipe puzzle at the house in that traffic mission, you will interview the wife, Margaret Black. There are potentially 6 topics to ask about, and you should have leveled up enough at this point to have 4 intuition points. The key is to use an intuition point every time you select a topic in the notebook and hear their answer. Just pick "ask the community." But, if those don't help you enough, here are the answers just in case:

Topic - Slaughterhouse receipt - pick "Truth"
Topic - Stenzel glasses case - pick "Truth"
Topic - Location of Adrian black - pick "Truth"
Topic - Photograph signed "Nicole" - pick "Lie" and select the concealed message evidence

and if you need it, or missed an evidence piece to add one of the above topics, there are two other topics that you could ask:

Topic - Cavanagh's bar matchbook - pick "Truth"
Topic - Alibi for mrs. black - pick "Truth"

7) The Straight Dope - 15 G - Prove a lie as a detective.

If you found the hidden message by examining the photo in the bedroom in the Black residence, and you select lie and use it as your proof, you will get this in that same interview. The next time you could get it is when you are interviewing Frank Morgan in the same traffic case.

Topic - link to abandoned vehicle - pick "Lie" and the evidence is the receipt for the pig

8) The Third Degree - 30 G - Correctly branch every question in every interview in a single case.

This can be done in any case, but since we are mining the first traffic case, "The Driver's Seat," let's use that as our focus. It also has the fewest questions to ask amongst all early cases. Here are the correct ways to navigate every interview and what answers to pick.

The key here is to find all evidence before going into the interviews, so all possible lies can be exposed and each topic is available. As the game tells you, the music at a scene stops when you have all evidence there, so you know you are safe then. There could be other orders to ask the questions in, but this is what i did:

Nate Wilkey - interviewed at crime scene -

Topic - purpose at scene - "Truth"
Topic - knowledge of adrian black - "Truth"
Topic - bloodstained pipe found - "Truth"
Topic - contents of wallet - "Doubt"

Margaret Black - interviewed at Black residence -

Topic - Slaughterhouse receipt - "Truth"
Topic - Stenzel glasses case - "Truth"
Topic - Location of Adrian black - "Truth"
Topic - Photograph signed "Nicole" - "Lie" and select the concealed message evidence
Topic - Cavanagh's bar matchbook - "Truth"
Topic - Alibi for mrs. black - "Truth"

Frank Morgan - interviewed at Cavanagh's bar -

Topic - link to abandoned vehicle - "Lie" and select the receipt for the pig
Topic - location of Adrian Black - "Doubt"

9) Golden Boy - 15 G - Finish a case finding every clue.

Sticking with the first traffic case, here is a list and where to find them:

Found at crime scene:

1 - Blood splashes - found by investigating car
2 - Receipt for pig - found in car trunk
3 - Glasses - found at Evidence marker A
4 - Wallet - found at Evidence marker A
5 - Bloody pipe - found at marker B

Found at Black residence:

6 - Train ticket - found in Adrian's bedroom
7 - Glasses case - found in Adrian's room, investigate case to see brand name
8 - Concealed message - found in Adrian's room, investigate to find message on back
9 - Cavanagh's matchbook - found in Adrian's room, examine further
10 - InstaHeat receipt - found on kitchen table
11 - InstaHeat flyer - also on kitchen table
12 - Water heater - added after finishing pipe puzzle outside house

Other:

13 - Swine blood - added from call from HQ while driving to frank morgan's apartment

[TruthLies]

10) The Up and Up - 30 G - Finish a case with a 5 star rating.

You should get this as you complete the first traffic case. If you found all clues and got all interview questions right (both above), you can still only get 4 stars if you caused a lot of damage to other cars or the city streets, or to pedestrians. So, again, have your partner drive everywhere to avoid the chance whenever possible by setting the waypoint and then holding Y by the passenger door of the car before getting in.

11) Stab-Rite - 15 G - Find the knife on your first sweep of the crime scene at the cafe.

In the second traffic case, before leaving the scene, and it could even be the first thing you get, go to the alley next to the bar/cafe. In the trash can next to the dumpster investigate the knife. The achievement oddly enough does not unlock until you beat the case, but just pick up the knife the first time you are at the scene (which should be the only time ever, really, ha).

12) The Shadow - 15 G - Tail a suspect without being spotted.

In the third Traffic case, "The Fallen Idol," you must tail June Ballard as she travels to a restaurant in a car and as she makes a call within it. This achievement can be received for later trails of suspects in other cases, but this is the easiest time to get it, because it is short and basically serves as the stealth tutorial so it is easy. So, just stay about half a block behind the car the whole trip and stop entirely when necessary. After a short cutscene at the restaurant, you are told to take cover outside the door and look in with A, and then when she is not looking, you walk in to the second booth on the left which is empty with a newspaper. Here, hit A again and you go incognito with the newspaper and over hear her conversation. The achievement unlocks immediately then.

13) Paved With Good Intentions - 15 G - Complete all cases on the Traffic desk.

Simply finish the third traffic case, "The Fallen Idol." No matter what ratings you get on the cases, once you finish them all, you advance to homicide, so when the third case ends and the next cut-scene starts, the achievement will unlock.

14) Round Heels - 15 G - At the Bamba Club, get Dick McColl to give the license plate number.

In the first homicide case, "The Red Lipstick Murder," at the Bamba club, a location added after investigating the crime scene, you are told by the bartender that the owner is at the back. The owner, Dick McColl, you then interview as you approach him. In the topic, "suspect seen with victim," select "Truth" and he tells you the license plate number.

15) Traffic Stop - 15 G - Disable a suspect vehicle with help from your partner.

This can be kind of finnicky. The first time you can get this is at the end of the first homicide case, "The Red Lipstick Murder." At the end, you have to chase Mendez first on foot and then with a car. While pursuing his car, sometimes you are able to go faster than he can, so pull up on the left side of his car so your partner can shoot out of your right window. Their aim is often horrible, but sometimes they hit two tires pretty quickly, and this is sort of the training car chase for this type of takedown.

The finnicky part is even with one or even two tires shot out, they can sometimes still drive for a while. And, eventually, the suspects always crash into something or stop on their own. So, to get this, your partner needs to shoot out at least one tire and you need to keep ramming the car to get it to stop or flip before those automatic times. Not too hard, just hard to know exactly what to do. This can be done anytime you have to stop a suspect in a major case in a car, and it happens at least 6 times throughout the game.

16) Keep a Lid On - 15 G - Complete a brawl without losing your hat.

This is pretty simple. Anytime you are in a hand to hand fight, subdue or knock out the suspect without your hat being knocked off (getting hit once). To fight, hold left trigger and then A is punch and Y is grab. B is a finishing move, but is not needed. The only thing to remember here is to dodge, which is X. Just land about 8-10 good hits, which would include 1-2 dodges, and the enemy should go down.

17) Asphalt Jungle - 15 G - Tackle a fleeing suspect as a detective.

Probably the best time to get this is during the homicide case "The Golden Butterfly." There are two people you will have to chase down, and both can potentially be tackled. When chasing a suspect, the only way to go faster than normal is holding RT which is to run. Then, when close enough, it will tell you to hit A to tackle. This is weird because sometimes if you hit A when close enough you run like the flash and pounce on the guy. Other times you just have to keep holding RT and keep hitting A and when finally close enough you will tackle the person.

In this case, though, you can potentially tackle Hugo Moller when he tries to burn his shoes. Or, when you chase the child molester at the school.

18) Johnny On The Spot - 30 G - Respond to 20 Street Crime Cases

There are 40 of these in the game, but most (about 25 of the 40) come up in the traffic and homicide desks, the first two desks. These are incredibly simple and often very easy. Most involve just killing someone at that scene, or pursuing them and killing them, etc. They have usually just one simple objective. Plus, you can retry any of them if you fail. These can be done as they come up on your radio in the main game, or you can do them in free roam.

The one sometimes frustrating part is that often they are nowhere near where you are. So, to speed things up, set a custom marker and have your partner drive so it skips all the driving and saves you time.

19) Lead Foot - 15 G - Go over 80 mph for at least 10 consecutive seconds.

I actually just got this driving to a street crime in the vice desk, haha. A sure-fire easy way to get it is to go in the creek that is called the LA river, which can be found in the lower right part of the city map. It's the divider between the main city and some outskirts. Or, another way to find it, it's the area under the 4th and 6th street aqueduct city landmarks. Then, just drive there - no traffic, nothing to hit, bam, achievement.

Otherwise, find a long stretch of city street and just hold A, ha. It's easier i guess if you have the police siren on, but some cars drive weird with it, too.

20) The Simple Art of Murder - 15 G - Complete all cases on the Homicide desk.

Another story related achievement. The homicide desk is by far the longest because it has so many involved cases. But, after beating the final case, which is really cool, on the desk, "The Quarter Moon Murders," this achievement will be yours.

21) Auto Collector - 15 G - Drive 40 different vehicles.

I got this during the Vice desk, just because every time i'd see a car i might not have driven i'd go get in it, haha. Also, every few levels when you level up you unlock secret car locations, which are question marks on your map, and then once you get in them they are added. 5 are added i think every 5 levels, so there's 20 right there if you reach level 20 (the max). But, again, just get in as many cars as you can, and it is always an option to just go for this in free roam. A full car guide will be later in this guide.

22) Wooden Overcoats - 30 G - Kill 30 enemies with headshots.

Nothing hard about this really, since you'll have to kill about 100-150 enemies throughout the game depending on side missions you do in your first playthrough. But, the easiest time to get this is in any side missions because those are often shootouts with multiple enemies and you have time to aim a lot more. Then, in cases like the last traffic one when you are trying to escort the suspect off the movie set, you have a rifle after killing one of the first enemies and that is an easy way to get 10-12 headshots in that mission alone. However, you will likely get this just playing the battles normally and not going for too many headshots, since i think it is ingrained in most of us to go for headshots, ha.

23) Dead Men Are Heavier - 15 G - Kill a total of 100 enemies.

Again, you will get this just by playing, especially in the Vice cases, since a couple of them have shootouts, just as the last traffic and homicide cases have shootouts. But, as always, doing some street crimes helps, too.

24) The Fighting Sixth - 15 G - At bus shooting, have Alvarro give up the marines.

During the last Vice mission, "Manifest Destiny," after killing the sniper you will be in an interview with the bus driver. For the topic "Motive for Shooting" pick "Lie" and selecting the sniper's notebook evidence will get you this achievement.

25) No Rest for the Wicked - 15 G - Complete all cases on the Vice desk.

This is the story achievement for finishing "Manifest Destiny." The mission ends with the Sheldon interview.

[TruthLies]

26) Not So Hasty - 15 G - Stop a fleeing suspect with a warning shot.

You can get this in almost any case or street crime when you are running after a suspect on foot, but one of the easiest times is during the first Arson case, "The Gas Man." To perform a warning shot, you have to aim your gun at the suspect and keep the reticule over them until the small circle fills, which takes a couple seconds. In that mission, you have to chase Varley, and after the first turn around a house, as he goes to cross the street, you'll have plenty of time to pull this off.

27) Huckster - 15 G - Outwit Leland Monroe when discussing his ad campaign.

In the second Arson mission, "Walk in elysian fields," you will have to interview Monroe. Simply answer the first two questions this way and the achievement is yours. Be sure to have found the Elysian fields flyers clue at the crime scene first.

Topic - "Elysian linked to arsons" - Pick "Doubt"
Topic - "Promotional travel contest" - Pick "Lie" and select "elysian fields flyers"

28) Moth to a Flame - 70 G - Complete all cases on the Arson desk.

This is the story achievement for beating the game. It will unlock after the final cut-scenes after the water battles.

29) Miles on the Clock - 15 G - Drive more than 194.7 miles.

If you drive instead of your partner in all missions, and do a few side missions during the main game, you will likely get this near the end of the game. If not, you can check under statistics to see how much you have, and you can always drive a lot in free mode as you locate collectibles and do any remaining side missions.

30) Star Map - 15 G - Discover all landmark locations (30).

If my directions are too vague, here is a 2 part video guide to make it simpler: 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMIgp...layer_embedded, 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQJQ1...layer_embedded

6th Street Viaduct - take 6th St over river
National Biscuit Company - by corner of Industrial and Mateo

31) Public Menace - 30 G - Rack up more than $47,000 in penalties in one case.

Not much to say here. You will get a poor case rating obviously, so this should be a single case replayed. And then, basically total a bunch of cars, hit some people, knock over lights and stands, but the key is totaling other cars. This can usually be done easily if you crash head on into it while going fast. You will know it is totaled because the engine will be exposed and on fire.

32) Roscoe and Friends -15 G - Kill an enemy with every gun.

M1917 Revolver
Star Model P
12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun
Thompson M1

Browning Automatic Rifle

Browning Hi-Power
Flame Thrower (found in cache in tunnels during last mission before the flooded room)

33) The Brass - 30 G - Achieve maximum rank (20).

You will get this in getting all dialog choices right and doing a few street crime cases. You get 5 points for every right dialog choice, 15 for every street crime, and 5 for every hidden vehicle found. This just takes time, and will come as you work on everything else, nothing to stress over.

Now for total collectible/ completionist achievements. I will put clues and dialog choices together to make it easiest for you. Still, it is difficult to keep organized, and some dialog options or proven lies require some evidence, so i will list evidence before dialog.

34/35) Magpie/ Shamus to the Stars - 150 G total - Find and inspect 95% of all clues/ get 5 stars in every case.

45 - Scarlet Street - between 6th and palmetto, just east of alameda, between the buildings is an alley and by a blue dumpster this is on the ground
46 - Detour - off of Alameda, just north of bay st is a dark area on the map, but the building on the north side of bay st is this reel on the ground
47 - Notorious - in the very bottom right of the map, there is a fishhook looking area, in the cup of the hook on the map is another open warehouse, and this is in the office within

38) The Moose - 15 G - Follow Candy Edwards without using cover or going incognito.

I got this way late because i'm an idiot, haha. Basically, in the second Vice case, "The Set Up" after you stake out outside of her apartment, you will have to follow her. The thing that I didn't understand is that you simply don't have to take cover or go incognito, while still not being seen. So, basically, stay behind a wall without taking cover and move the right thumbstick to follow her movements, and then when she turns or is very far away you can pursue again. You don't have to follow for THAT long, but just remember to never take cover or go incognito (hiding via a storefront, newspaper, or shoe shine stand).

39) The Long Arm of the Law - 30 G - Complete all street crime cases.

These are all very short and most are easy. Again, it is easiest to just do all remaining ones in Free Roam mode. Remember, each desk has specific street crimes only available during them. Luckily, it will tell you when you are done all available street crimes in a current desk. When you get in a police car, the message in the top of the screen will say you have finished all available street crimes for the desk.

Only one more tip I can offer. When entering free roam mode, go to the map, and there should be a few street crime markers if you have yet to finish them all on that desk. They will be the red AOL man markers, haha, then simply drive there or set a nearby marker and have your partner drive there. If you have no markers, but know you haven't done all available crimes on that desk, just drive in a police car for a little bit and you will get a radio call for a case. Some cases only come up certain times of the day, too. Also, from what i experienced, if there are no more markers and you save and quit and come back in, there might be the markers for the remaining cases. It happened for me twice, but i don't know how sure that is.

40) The City of the Angels - 80 G - Reach 100% game completion.

This includes getting all cars, film reels, story cases, street crimes, landmarks, and newspapers. Newspapers are the only thing i do not cover in other achievement guides here, so i'll post those locations here:

In Patrol case "Upon Reflection" - in alley of first crime scene on the right side of the alley on a box
In Traffic case "Driver's Seat" - in the Black house on the dining room table
In Traffic case "Marriage Made in Heaven" - in Ray's cafe, sitting on the bar
In Traffic case "The Fallen Idol" - in Silver Screen props, on prop tables where shrunken heads are
In Homicide case "Red Lipstick Murder" - on the floor in the house of Celine Henry
In Homicide case "White Shoe Slaying" - in Ackerman's place at the Hobo Camp
In Vice case "The Black Caesar" - in Ramez Removals, sitting on the desk behind the desk with the ledger
In Vice case "The Set Up" - in the locker room at the boxing arena, on a table
In Vice case "Manifest Destiny" - when you're having to kill the renegade former squad members, you'll have to gun down two in an alley - before searching the bodies, pick up the newspaper
In Arson case "Walk in Elysian Fields" - at Morelli house fire, it's on the lawn
In Arson case "A Polite Invitation" - on Leland Monroe's desk when you fight your way through his mansion
In final case "A Different Kind of War" - on the desk inside Rapid Exterminators
In final case "A Different Kind of War" - on Fontaine's desk in his office/ crime scene

DLC Traffic Case - "A Slip of the Tongue"

41) Nowhere in a Hurry - 20 G - Stop Cliff Harrison before the police barricade.

This is how the case begins, chasing the suspect. You have a good amount of time to get this, and i crashed a couple times into objects and still caught up to him and got this my first time. So, just follow the standard bumping into the side of the car and having your partner shoot at it from the right window.

42) Femme Imbecile - 20 G - Correctly branch every interview question with Jean Archer.

The problem some people seem to have with this is that they never even see her. When you are leaving the police station after interviewing Belasco, you are told that Archer is down the street at a Western Union. So, simply run on foot and she will be in there. Then, when interviewing her, these are the responses:

stolen kaiser frazer - doubt
association with belasco - lie - belasco's ownership papers
stolen auto courier - doubt

43) Chop Shop - 20 G - Kill an enemy with the falling engine in the warehouse.

When the warehouse shootout begins, no one was under this for me. So, shoot a few times around some guys and make them move, and then look up and shoot the engine, and it should fall, explode and kill at least one enemy.

44) Racing for Pinks - 20 G - Find and inspect all pink slips in the case.

There are just three. Two are given to you by suspects, you just need to fully look them over and for the second one (during Belasco interview), examine both sides. Then, after the warehouse shootout, examine the box of them on the desk at the back top of the warehouse and it will unlock.

45) The Printer's Devil - 20 G - Complete "A Slip of the Tongue"

This is the story achievement for beating the mission. No specific rating needed.

DLC Vice Case - "The Naked City"

46) A Good-Looking Corpse - 20 G - Find all narcotics at Julia Randall's apartment.

There are actually only three. The first is the hardest. Before even going to her floor - when you enter the apartment building, on the left of the hallway is a trash can, examine it to find a morphine sourette. Examine it. In the apartment the coroner conversation mentions some, but i'm not sure if that counts. Then, in the bedroom, there is a pill on the floor at the foot of the bed, then a case on the table on the right side of the bed. Examine it to find sleeping pills, and examine it again to find a second compartment with a prescription. Bam. Achievement.

47) Fakeloo - 20 G - Tail Henry Arnett without being spotted.

Again, i'm a bad driver and got this my first time. Just keep your distance, don't hit any other cars, and you'll get this stage done without a problem. In car tails, the general golden distance is about half a block. At the end of tailing him with your car, he goes into a pawn shop and then you have to follow him on foot. Let him get a BIG lead, and just stay on your side of the street, because he crosses to your side, goes down the alley, turns, and it's over. So just keep your distance on that side of the street, then when he goes down the alley sprint to the edge of the building and look down with the camera only and when he turns again, move up.

48) Chauffeur Service - 20 G - Escort Heather to Swanson's apartment with the car taking no damage.

This is actually not hard at all, and i'm a pretty bad driver, ha. So, when the escort begins, simply turn on the police siren and drive very slow. It does not matter if it takes you three years to get there, this will still unlock. Plus, having the siren on makes cars all move out of the passing line to the curb lane. Usually, ha. Just drive slowly and carefully to be sure.

49) Give My Regards - 20 G - Shoot down every letter in sign at Broadway Motel.

As you are chasing the suspect at the end of the case up the rooftop, he climbs a ladder behind the giant BROADWAY letters at the top of the building. Instead of shooting him, which ends the case, shoot each letter one time first. The suspect stops on a platform about halfway up anyway, and then you can shoot him.

50) Eight Million Stories - 20 G - Complete "The Naked City."

Story achievement for finishing the case. No specific rating needed.

[TruthLies]

Arson DLC Case - Nicholson Electroplating - 320 points or free with Rockstar Pass

51) The Nose Knows - 20 G - Find and inspect the prop spinner at the crime scene.

When you reach the crime scene and can start inspecting, there are two paths to the left, one that goes directly left and one heading to the back of the area. Take the one to the back and there are two parts of the spinner. You have to line them up, and hold them lined up for a couple seconds so you can read it and this will unlock immediately.

52) Skeletons in the Ice Box - 20 G - Find and inspect all clues in Okamoto's apartment.

Her apartment is the first door on the right up the stairs between the two buildings at the location. Here are the key clues:

Tie pin found in front of fireplace
Microfilm found on dresser in bedroom
Watch found on dead body in fridge
Ring on other hand of dead body

53) Out of the Frying Pan - 20 G - Pursue Vernon Mapes from the burning house to Hughes' on your 1st try.

When inspecting the house from the photograph, a molotov ****tail sets the place on fire. Shoot the gas canister next to the stove to blow a hole in the wall, run to that house, and escape through the window. Immediately get in your car and chase Mapes. He goes through a few small alleys and takes some sharp turns, so it is hard in that you have to stay on him. I'd suggest not trying to ram him because it could get you spun out or to bang into something and he might get away. If he gets away, you only restart during the chase, and it no longer counts, you'd have to replay the whole case.

54) Bulletproof Windshield - 20 G - Kill two drivers at the airfield before they pull up.

This is the hardest achievement in any DLC, if not the entire game. It's also weird because 4 cars pull up to the shootout. From the best i can tell, the two cars for the achievement are the ones that show up last, one coming from the left of the big hangar, and one coming from behind you at the street. Your pistol is good for aiming at the heads of the drivers, but a rifle is best if you have one from a dead body or the trunk of your car.

55) The Big Unfriendly - 20 G - Finish the "Nicholson Electroplating" DLC case.

Just as it says, finish the DLC. The end is the shootout inside of the hangar, after the shootout outside. No specific case rating needed.



Reefer Madness - Vice Case DLC

56) Forcible Rear Entry - 20 G - Enter Las Palmas stash house via the back door and kill Juan Garcia.

When you arrive, a shootout ensues. DO NOT SHOOT. You might kill him in the windows. Instead, run through the yard of the house on the left and jump back into Juan's backyard and go in the backdoor. Then kill the two men and you will get this.

57) Soup in the Pot - 20 G - Open both soup cans in Juan's stash room.

There is a shack behind his house, on the left inside of it is a case on the left with three partitions. In the middle section of the three, pull the odd looking soup can and it opens a secret door. On the shelf by a can opener are two soup cans, simply pick each one up and use the can opener on it to reveal the drugs.

58) High Flyer - 20 G - Find the flyer at Juan's house and go straight to 20th Century Market

In the back right room at his house is a newspaper open to an ad for the soup. Examine it to add the location, and instead of going to the soup place, go there, and the achievement will unlock.

59) Spare a Dime - 20 G - Solve silver dollar puzzle at Soup Kitchen.

You will have to collect 4 silver dollars throughout the case. Nothing special is required on your part, just be sure to search all dead bodies. The puzzle itself doesn't let you advance until you finish it, ha, but it's MAS-ANG-KAY-MET-ALS

60) Every Herb Bearing Seed - 20 G - Complete "Reefer Madness" DLC case.

Just as the description says. No specific case rating needed.

[Gespenst]

This is a pretty in depth. I'll be using this on my playthrough of the game.
