PART 1: THE PLAN
As soon as the mission starts, get in a vehicle and drive over to Lester's house for some advice. Lester suggest coordinating an ambush at the foundry.
From there, get in your vehicle and pick up Lamar at his house and then hightail it to the Foundry to meet up with Michael and Trevor. Franklin will set up the attack formation.
PART 2: THE AMBUSH
You’ll each take position in different parts of the room and await the coming of an army of assorted mooks.
There are simply too many enemies to even think about breaking cover in this encounter. Stay low unless movement is absolutely necessary, and immediately re-enter cover. The Assault Shotgun will serve you well in these close quarters. After Franklin springs the ambush, switch to Michael when prompted and sweep the catwalk.
When Lamar calls for help, switch to Franklin, break cover, run along the catwalk, drop off the end, and head out the door through the control office (watch out for other enemies). Make your way back outside and take cover. Shoot down the NOOSE car with some rockets and shoot down the remaining NOOSE guys.

When Trevor goes quiet, switch to Michael. Clear out the center of the room, cross, and take cover next to Trevor hiding next to the control room. Fight off another wave of enemies and then switch to Trevor and clear out the enemy attack indoors.
When the room is cleared, switch to Michael and fight off the hostiles that emerge at the other side of the foundry. Use headshots to kill off the hostiles that arrive in the helicopters and eliminate the rest.
Once the side of the foundry is cleared of hostiles, make your way towards Franklin and Trevor and assist them in eliminating the rest of the FIB agents. When the area is cleared, move over to the waypoint to trigger a cutscene to end this section of the mission.
PART 3: TYING UP LOOSE ENDS
At this point, the decision is made that Franklin will assassinate the Chinese mob boss, Michael will kill Stretch, and Trevor will take out Steve Haines AND Devin.
PART 4: KILLING MR. CHENG
MISSION NOTE: restock!
After the cutscene, make a short pitstop at the nearby Ammu-Nation and stock up on Body Armor and Sticky Bombs.advertisement
After you've restocked your gear, drive over to the waypoint at the country club to find Mr. Cheng entering his limo followed by TWO bodyguard cars.
GOLD MEDAL REQUIREMENT: "STICK, TICK...BOOM!"
In order to achieve this requirement, Franklin needs to toss a Sticky Bomb at Mr. Cheng's limo. Equip the Sticky Bombs on the Weapons list and then follow Cheng's car and toss the Sticky Bomb at him. Once one of the bombs stick, detonate it to achieve the requirement! From here, switch to Michael.
PART 5: KILLING STRETCH
When Michael arrives at his destination next to the basketball courts, exit the car and equip a melee weapon (preferably the Hammer).
With Stretch dead, you can either stay and gun down the remaining Balla members or quickly run away and drive out of the area. Once you've eliminated the rest or driven away, switch to Trevor to complete the final two assassinations.
PART 6: KILLING STEVE HAINES
When Trevor arrives at the Del Perro Pier, stop halfway thru and park in the lot behind the Ferris wheel area. Get in close to the Ferris wheel with a Suppressed Sniper Rifle and get ready to snipe.

With Steve dead, quickly jump down from the pier to the beach below and steal the nearby 4x4 Vapid truck and hightail it outta there. Lose any unwanted heat to trigger the final assassination!
PART 7: KILLING DEVIN WESTON
MISSION NOTE: restock!
There is an Ammu-Nation just at the bottom of the road before going up the hill to Devin's house, so stock up on ammo and Body Armor!
When you're stacked, drive up to Devin's house and be ready for a big shoot out with the Merryweather gang. If you want to be sneaky, park your vehicle just further down from Devin's house to see all the Merryweather guys patrolling the area. Bust out the Sniper Rifle and start sniping all the guards.
After sniping about 6-7 guards, make your way to DEvin's house and infiltrate towards the back balcony. Shoot down any remaining guards to clear out the house. When the coast is finally clear, approach the large basket at the lower balcony to find Devin hiding inside.
With Devin in tow in the trunk, drive to the final waypoint to trigger the ending cutscene. When prompted, help the guys push the car into the ocean to complete the game! WOO-HOO!!
