Introduction: Welcome back to Los Santos, playa. It's time to get back to gang banging. With improved visuals and a beautiful 720p resolution, San Andreas returns on Xbox 360. And of course, what would any remaster be without the inclusion of achievements? There is a small pattering of 33 achievements, with no online and, thankfully, no 100% requirement. This makes the list relatively easy, but the game can still take quite a bit of time due to some miscellaneous achievements and the sheer scope of content in the game. Here you'll be given the run down on what you need to do, what you don't need to do, and some tricks to get the 100% completion as fast as possible. Side note: Cheats do disable achievements, like previous GTA games before it.

 

Abbreviated Walkthrough: There are 100 missions in total spread throughout Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas, as well as some spread through Flint and Bone County. It is recommended to start and complete the first five missions or so to unlock the entirety of Los Santos and Flint County to explore, as well as to get some simple achievements and challenges out of the way. Since none of the missions in Los Santos are very hard, simply go through the story without worrying about anything else, yet, except for some easy ones like Represent, Get a Pump, Pay n' Spray, Hustle Some, Assert Yourself Next Time, Horror of the Santa Maria, Trickster, and What Are The Odds – these can be completed right out of the gate if wanted, but these can also wait as they can be obtained at any time. Whether or not these are out of the way, simply progress through the campaign like normal. Once you reach Angel Pine, it is highly recommended to complete the Paramedic missions to get the maximum health possible (also netting the Paramedic achievement) for help with the rest of the game. Once that's out of the way, it is simply completing the campaign and mopping up with the miscellaneous achievements once those are done. Completing the campaign will net you Getting Started, All Dressed Up in San Fierro, What Happens in Las Venturas..., and End of the Line.

 

NOTE: See Time to Kill BEFORE completing the final mission as this is the only missable achievement in the game.

 

Mop-Up: Once the game's campaign is completed, the rest of the Miscellaneous achievements can be easily obtained. It is recommended to get the vehicle specific ones like Savior and What the City Needs out of the way first, as they make CJ more impervious to damage. These can be completed at any time, but are recommended to be completed earlier for their benefits. Then it's simply going after the rest of them, which won't be too time consuming if CJ is appropriately equipped.

 

Conclusion: San Andreas HD is a remaster of a once great game now on a great console – thankfully the Rockstar gods chose not to torture us with the dreaded 100% gamestat achievement, but have instead given us a relatively easy achievement list that will hopefully be fun to complete.

Achievement Guide:

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/1.jpg Getting Started 20:gsicon:

Complete Big Smoke

Story related and cannot be missed.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/2.jpg Represent 10:gsicon:

Purchase a Grove Street tattoo

Tattoo shops are indicated on the map by the black T-like symbol – one is located close to Old Reece's barber shop, which you will travel to on Ryder's mission. Simply enter the shop and purchase a Grove Street tattoo; there is one on the lower front abdomen area.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/3.jpg The End of the Line 100:gsicon:

Complete End of the Line

Story related and cannot be missed.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/6.jpg Hustle some  10:gsicon:

Win a game of pool

This one can be tricky. First you have to find a bar; there is one right next to Grove Street. Drive down the street from CJ's house. Across the first intersection, on the right, is a bar that can be entered indicated by the yellow cone. In the left side back of the bar are two pool tables with a man standing beside one. Enter a wager with him and play the best you can; his AI capabilities are god-like, but he can make simple errors. Keep betting only $50 at a time so you don't go broke, and hope the AI pockets the black 8 out of turn.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/8.jpg A Legitimate Business  20:gsicon:

Export all three car lists

This can be obtained after the mission “Customs Fast Track” by taking all of the listed cars (shown on a billboard at the end of the pier) to the crane and using the crane to lift the vehicle onto the ship. You must complete the Driving School (pass each test with 70% or greater) to access the mission line that leads to "Customs Fast Track." This is a good source of money, albeit time consuming.

 

This map can help with a few of the vehicle locations. This image comes from the website http://gta-sanandreas.com/guides/importexport/index.php - check them out for an even more detailed guide on where to find every car!

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/9.jpg The American Dream  20:gsicon:

Purchase any house

Easily obtained after a few story missions, a property can be purchased once you see a green “House” icon on the map. The cheapest ones encountered are the Hotel Suites in Las Venturas, or the $10,000 house near Cesar Vialpando's house.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/10.jpg Get a Pump  10:gsicon:

Do a barbell curl or benchpress at any gym

Easily obtained after the second mission. A gym will open up down from Grove Street indicated by the Barbell icon on the map. Enter the gym and go over to the barbells or bench press and get on the machine, then complete one rep by mashing :xbut: for an easy achievement.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/12.jpg Pay 'n' Spray  20:gsicon:

Use a Pay 'n' Spray with wanted level

Story related and cannot be missed.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/15.jpg Bike or Biker  30:gsicon:

Complete BMX or NRG challenge

The BMX challenge is found in Glen Park with all the pipes and stunt sets. All you have to do is touch all the coronas in the time limit. This method needs quite the high cycling skill (about 75%) to beat. The NRG challenge may be a bit easier; it is located in San Fierro by the Easter Basin drydock.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/16.jpg Beat the Cock  20:gsicon:

Win the Beat the Cock marathon

The Beat the Cock marathon is only available after “The Green Sabre” mission, and is located on the Santa Maria beach on the weekends (0:00 Saturday to 23:59 Sunday). It is highly recommended to complete the Burglary missions for this. To do this, steal $10,000 or more worth of items from people's houses. After the Burglary mission with Ryder, there will always be a black Boxville in the apartment set where you go to find B Dup. Doing this will net you unlimited sprint, making the Triathlon a cakewalk. Only attempt this with little fat, as having a high fat percentage will make CJ run slower.

 

http://i.imgur.com/eJUqc9p.png

 

This video also provides the normal way to beat the Triathlon.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62t6wKyiGOE]Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Beat The Cock Achievement Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/18.jpg Metrosexual  20:gsicon:

Spend $6,969 on clothes, hair, and tattoos.

This is more easily obtained after you complete the mission “St. Mark's Bistro” in Las Venturas, as this will unlock the Didier Sachs shop in East Los Santos. Going to there, each piece of clothing can cost up to $5000 each, so buy one or two items and this will unlock immediately.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/19.jpg School's Out  20:gsicon:

Fully complete a vehicle school

The first opportunity to get this will come after a few proper missions in San Fierro. Jethro will call and tell CJ that there is a driving school up the block, avoiding saying that he is a horrible driver. Afterward the school will be marked by a big red “S” - complete each test with 70% or above to get the achievement.

 

OR: Wait until you get to the Flight School in Bone County – Toreno will tell you to get your pilot's license. These tests are very easy and are easier than the driving school.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/20.jpg Serial Offender  20:gsicon:

Get arrested 50 times.

Easily obtained right out of the gate – it is recommended to get this as early as possible since getting busted will remove all of your weapons. The easiest way to get busted is to drive in front of a police car and attempt to carjack it. The cop will get out, allowing you to get in. Allow him to open the door back up – he should point his gun at you, and the screen will say Busted. Only Busted screens count.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/21.jpg Freight Date  10:gsicon:

Take the train between cities

Train tracks are marked by the red lines on the map, and can only be obtained after San Fierro is unlocked. Once it is, follow the tracks to any station. There is a station right across the San Fierro garage – get in the train and press :abut: to skip the destination until the achievement pops.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/22.jpg Horror of the Santa Maria  10:gsicon:

Drown

Easily obtained right out of the gate. Simply head in one direction until you hit water, then get in and press :bbut: and hold the :ls: down. Keep him under water until his Lung Capacity runs out, then he will slowly lose energy until he dies.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/23.jpg Assert Yourself Next Time  10:gsicon:

Fail a mission

Easily obtained right out of the gate. All you have to do is die during any mission. This will come naturally during gameplay.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/26.jpg What the City Needs  30:gsicon:

Complete 12 levels of Vigilante

This is best obtained after Las Venturas is unlocked and the jetpack spawns at the abandoned airstrip. Take the jetpack and travel to the army base. Fly over the fence and head for the barrack looking buildings near one of the SAM missiles. There will be a tank inside two of the three. Get in; the tank is near invincible unless you flip it and you will immediately destroy any car by running into it. Start the Vigilante mission by pressing :rs: and ram away. You can make it faster by firing the main cannon with :bbut:. Completing this mission set will give you 150% normal armor.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/27.jpg Savior  30:gsicon:

Complete 12 levels of Paramedic

This is most easily done in Angel Pine due to the small town size. Kill someone or find the hospital and steal the ambulance, then complete the mission as normal. Should be relatively easy as long as you don't kill any of the patients. Completing this mission set will give you 150% health.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/28.jpg Rescue a Kitten Too?  30:gsicon:

Complete 12 levels of Firefighter

This can be completed at any time, but is most easily done in a city so you don't flip the truck. Find a firetruck by starting a fire (blowing up cars will usually attract one, but will get you Wanted) or finding one by any fire station. The fire station in Los Santos is located under the freeway. Completing this mission set will make CJ fireproof (will not lose health when on fire).

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/29.jpg Yes I Speak English  30:gsicon:

Reach 50 fares in Taxi Mode

Sadly there is no easy way to skip through this – every city is the same in terms of distance. If you want, you can wait until Las Venturas is open, since it is the most relatively flat of the three to complete. Simply enter any taxi by jacking it and click :rs: to activate. Then get your 50 fares. You donot have to complete all 50 in one sitting. Completing this mission set will automatically give all taxis you enter hydraulics and nitrous.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/30.jpg Trickster  30:gsicon:

Master Pimping Game

This is a vehicle mission set that can be completed easily right out of the gate by entering any Broadway that is undamaged and clicking :rs:. One is located behind the gas station in Idlewood. Simply pick up a ho and drive her to her customer, and so on. Once you get 10 'cuts' you will complete the mission. Completing this mission set will make any ho's you have 'relations' with give you money instead of taking it.

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/32.jpg Time to Kill  30:gsicon:

Watch Credits to the end

Simply obtained by not pressing any buttons while the credits roll. WARNING: Save your game beforehand in case you accidentally skip them, as you will not be able to re-watch them. If you do skip them, reload your save to watch them again. You will know to save as you will have to recapture a certain amount of territories before you can start Sweet's mission - he will call when you have captured enough. This occurs after the mission "Los Desperados."

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/4.jpg What happens in Las Venturas...  40:gsicon:

Complete Yay Ka-Boom-Boom

Story related and cannot be missed.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/5.jpg All Dressed Up for San Fierro  40:gsicon:

Complete The Green Sabre

Story related and cannot be missed.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/7.jpg Home Run  20:gsicon:

Achieve 'sex' with any of the girlfriends

When you unlock Las Venturas and get to the missions in the Four Dragons Casino, a '$' mission will pop up. Follow this story set to get to the mission Key To Her Heart, where you will automatically unlock this achievement upon finishing it.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/11.jpg What are the Odds  20:gsicon:

Win a race in Inside Track Betting

Inside Track Betting is located in Downtown Los Santos and Montgomery, Red County. Simply bet on any race and hope that you win.

 

NOTE: If you want to make lots of money very quickly, get to Catalina's missions so her save point is accessible. Then save your game there and drive down to the shop. Bet all of your money on one of the higher payout horses (7:1 or 9:1). If you lose, reload the save and try again. Keep betting all your money on the same ratio horse, and eventually you'll win. Keep doing this to multiply your money exponentially. Best done with about $50,000 or more to save time. (12:1 or 11:1 can take quite a long time to win, so it is best to use the lower ratios)

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/13.jpg Double or Nothin'  20:gsicon:

Put all your money or the maximum bet on red or black and win

This can be obtained after gaining access to Las Venturas. Go inside any casino (The Four Dragons work well, since it is marked on your map with a save point) and go to a roulette table. Bet the maximum wager on either the red or black square and win, and this will pop.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/14.jpg Assassin  10:gsicon:

Complete a stealth kill

This can be obtained when entering Madd Dogg's mansion on an OG Loc mission; simply take a knife and crouch walk up behind someone while targeting them. CJ will raise the knife when it can be done. Press :bbut: while standing still in this stance to assassinate them.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/17.jpg Original Gangster  100:gsicon:

Reach maximum respect

This will come naturally while going for Grove Street Warlord.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/24.jpg The Los Santos Slayer  20:gsicon:

Reach a total kill count of 4,000

This one will be fun. Going through the campaign, I had about 3,500 kills when everything was done. If you need more, simply take the Hydra jet from your airstrip (it will spawn there after Toreno's second to last mission) and blow everything the hell up. Make sure you save beforehand if you die or something goes wrong.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/25.jpg Public Enemy No. 1  50:gsicon:

Reach 6 wanted stars

Easily obtained when going for Vigilante by the Rhino Tank method; if you did not use this method, steal the Tank from the army base in Las Venturas and blow up every cop car and helicopter around you.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfCQimGmje4]Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Public Enemy No 1 Achievement Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/31.jpg Chick Magnet  100:gsicon:

Achieve maximum sex appeal

This can be achieved easily with any sports car and this glitch. Best to buy a medium grade piece of clothing such as a vest or track pants to reduce amount of times needed to reclothe yourself. The ZR-350 and Banshee work well for this.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpGl2G3BO1Y]Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Chick Magnet Achievement Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/3250/33.jpg Grove Street War Lord  50:gsicon:

Capture 30 territories

This is done after Gang Territories are unlocked after the “Doberman” mission; kill any three enemy gang members while inside a territory to start the war.

 

NOTE: It is recommended to do this after returning to Los Santos from Las Venturas, as you will lose all territory gained beforehand. This will also mean you have more weapons and armaments to prepare yourself against the waves. Capture any 30 territories and this will unlock. This achievement is not cumulative; you must hold 30 at once to obtain it.

For Time to Kill, you might want to make note of what mission to save after/which mission is the final one, for people like myself who have never played before, thus don't know what the final missions are, thus don't know when to make sure to make a just-in-case save.

 

Ahh, totally didn't think of that. Thanks, man.

 

Solid first guide, Dante! ;)

 

Grazie mille, Barad-san!

Fail a mission

Easily obtained right out of the gate. All you have to do is die during any mission. This will come naturally during gameplay.

 

Isn't this also missable? Although it's highly unlikely, it is possible for someone to beat the game without failing a single mission and thus not get this achievement.

 

(Even then, still not a big deal because you can just start a new game and fail immediately, but technically you can miss it.)

It's called "End of the Line". Plot events and game requirements before the mission also tend to make it fairly obvious that it's the final mission.

 

The following isn't really super spoil-y, but some people could still bitch about it being a spoiler, so I'll spoiler tag it just in case. Don't open if you're hyper-sensitive about spoilers.

[spoiler=3n9dnj30d3]You get the mission from Sweet.

It's nice to include I guess, but if I were authoring this guide I wouldn't. Once you see credits start rolling simply don't touch any buttons; you don't need to know which mission is the last beforehand.

Technically, yes. But considering I've played this game for over 200 hours, know exactly what to do, and can get all the best upgrades before the 5th mission, I still managed to fail at least 15 times. There's no real point of saying it's missable when it's near impossible to do the entire game without failing a single mission. Especially if one has never played it before.

I only mentioned it as the entry for the guide specifically said to make a save before doing the final mission (in case something happens (because controllers NEVER fall to the floor or something that causes a button to be pressed accidentally)), but didn't say what that mission was.

Well, either way there's no need to worry, as I have now included the name of the mission beforehand and the exact precursors that happen before you can do the final mission.

 

@Dakisbac: Yes, it is a very simple achievement, but one must remember this quote: "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

 

There will always be that one person who somehow messes it up.

I know there's already a topic about it already, but remember guys, cheats do disable achievements. X3

 

Other than that, you still can fail in some side-missions, unless those count, like the 8-Ball race track, and the NRG-500 for the Assert achievement.

 

I'll make a new save tonight and see if the BMX challenge in Glen Park counts for the fail-a-mission achievement. It shows up as an auto-save, so it might.

For the 'Beat the Cock' acheievment, is there a way to tell what day it is as the race is only available on the weekends?

 

Either hold down left or right on the directional pad. It will bring up the stats and the day.

 

For the OP: To unlock the final mission End of the Line, 20 territories have to be taken over which is 35 percent. That is the number people should be aiming for to avoid the call from Sweet and after the end of the call saying "you need to take over more territories over Los Santos."

The exact number is nice and all, but not really necessary as he will call you immediately after you take the 20th territory anyway, so you know exactly when to save.

i got the achievement when i fialed the bmx-challenge.

 

also, Home Run is NOT story related. the heist missions are optional, to get money from the casino; like zeros missions to get money from his shop, or truths missions to get money from the airfield. and you can allways just kill the girl to get the keycard.

Okay, you don't necessarily need to do them to advance the story, but most people will do them anyway because they are right next to main story missions. For your benefit I'll include what mission set to follow.

He doesn't call you again if you already have 20 territories. You'll get the first call saying you need to get more street cred before you can find your target, and then the marker to start the final mission appears outside his house immediately after you hang up.

 

Anyway, for the "A Legitimate Business" achievement, you might want to mention that you have to go through the Car Driving School before you can even buy the business that lets you open the import/export sidequest. I had decided to skip driving school because it's annoying and because I didn't think it did anything. I was looking stuff up today about import/export and traced a guide back mission by mission to find out that you can't open that mission string until you pass driving school.

 

Might be a good thing to mention in case others skip the driving school too. The only driving school related achievement is to just clear one school, and knowing you have to clear flying school to beat the game, people may skip the driving school needed to get to the import/export stuff.

 

One more; for "Grove Street War Lord", I found that you have to currently hold 30 territories. It doesn't go off the "total territories captured" stat, it's looking at your total in the "biggest gang" list. I had captured about 12 at the start of the game, then came back at the end and was capturing more. When I checked my stats, the total was at 32 and I had no achievement. I kept capturing and finally the achievement popped, and then I checked stats and the territories I currently owned was at 30.

I see. Well, as I said I marked the appropriate mission that comes before it. Besides, it is an incredibly easy achievement to get, so I'm not worrying about it anymore.

 

Hmm... I'll think about adding it in, because those who played it before might attempt driving school anyway, and those who haven't know nothing of Flight school. Plus, the guide is more to help you with the actual achievement, not the pre-reqs to even obtain it.

 

Grove Street Warlord isn't that bad either, because it's never missable and honestly expecting it to carry over is a mistake in my eyes.

 

I must say, though, thank you for pointing these things out to me. I ran through the game pretty much already knowing what I needed to do and how, so offering a different perspective helps.

Thank you so much for this!

 

The car export achievement is gonna be a grindfest though, I wish you could use a helicopter to pick up all the cars.

 

I really hope they make HD versions of GTA 3 and Vice city, such a blast and brings back many great memories plaything these games. These games are better than 90 percent of games nowadays.

I must say, though, thank you for pointing these things out to me. I ran through the game pretty much already knowing what I needed to do and how, so offering a different perspective helps.

 

Just to offer some feedback regarding prerequisites, when writing a guide you need to write it to cater for the average idiot. By that I mean assume the person reading it has no idea of how the game works etc. If you need to complete a side mission to open up another activity tied to an achievement then it's worth noting that otherwise people are likely to start asking why they can't access certain parts of the game.

 

Please don't take that as negative feedback, you've written a clear guide that's easy to follow but sometimes adding a little extra info can help.

Thank you so much for this!

 

The car export achievement is gonna be a grindfest though, I wish you could use a helicopter to pick up all the cars.

 

I really hope they make HD versions of GTA 3 and Vice city, such a blast and brings back many great memories plaything these games. These games are better than 90 percent of games nowadays.

 

Of course :)

 

I don't know if this is true, but you might be able to look up where to find the Cargobob (army heli with a magnet) - if you can steal that and save it you could use it to get cars much faster.

Ach, that is true. I'm just really lazy in updating stuff I've already done.

 

I might as well put it in. I don't want to see "that one guy" who doesn't even have the sense to fend for himself within the guide.

Well, there is a helicopter that has a magnet on its bottom that can pick up cars. Though the problem with it...the copter's fly speed is real slow, and picking up the vehicle with it might take longer.

 

So its better to just go and get the vehicles you need from either specific locations parked or from certain cities/areas that might spawn them on and drive them to the port.

"Freight Date" can be unlocked from the very beginning. If you use the train going to San Fierro, the achievement will unlock while you're still in the tunnel as it starts to slow down.

 

Also, you can use a jetpack on the triathlons to do the swimming sections faster.
