'''Dam and Blast''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Carl Johnson]] as part of plans to pull off a heist of [[Caligula's Palace]] from [[The Four Dragons Casino]], a casino located along [[The Strip]] in [[Las Venturas]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].


'''Dam and Blast''' is one of six missions in the [[Missions in GTA San Andreas#Caligula's Casino Path|Caligula's Casino heist path]] with [[Wu Zi Mu]] in [[Las Venturas]].
==Mission==
Carl Johnson, having successfully convincing [[Millie Perkins]] to date him in order to obtain her keycard, is now positioned to continue preparations for the heist on the main vault of Caligula's Palace. His next step is to establish a means of temporarily cutting the power supply to Las Venturas in order to provide himself and [[Wu Zi Mu|Wu Zi Mu's]] men with the cover of darkness and the resulting confusion while robbing the safe. To do this, Carl heads out to [[Sherman Dam]], which supplies Las Venturas with hydroelectric power, to plant remotely detonated explosives on the main generators. After sneaking into the dam's facilities and planting the explosives, Carl narrowly escapes capture by performing a swan-dive from one of the dam's control towers into the outlet channel to the south (erroneously labelled as [[Sherman Reservoir]] by the game).

==Detailed Walkthrough==
'''Carl Johnson''': I appreciate your input, but please, fuck off!


===Las Venturas===
'''Eavesdropper #1''': What did he say?
After you have dated [[Millie Perkins]] and acquired her key card, your next step in preparation for the heist on the main vault of [[Caligula's Palace]] is to provide a means of temporarily shutting down the power supply to [[Las Venturas]].  This will allow you and Woozie's men to crack the vault under the cover of darkness and the resulting confusion.  To do this, you employ [[Zero]], who has fashioned remotely detonated explosive charges, which you intend to use to knock out the generators at [[Sherman Dam]], the city's main power source.


Your next step is to head out to [[Las Venturas Airport]], where a [[Nevada]] is waiting for you on the abandoned airstrip. You must board the craft and fly it southwest to [[Sherman Dam]], over which you will be prompted to fly into a corona (just as in [[Flying School]]).  Once in the corona, you will be prompted to jump (exit the plane), and parachute onto the dam's quay (the concrete outcropping abutting the side of the rocky cliff).
'''Eavesdropper #2''': He said fuck off. C'mon, let's get out of here.


===Sherman Dam===
'''Carl Johnson''': Hey, what are you still doing here?
Once on the quay, your next step is to sneak your way into the dam's main facilities. There are two guards patrolling the quay, so crouching and caution are certainly advised. A [[Knife|knife]] will spawn after parachuting onto the quay to enable stealth tactics to be used on the guards. Once inside the main facility, you will again be confronted with guards, and this time, plant technicians as well. You will be required to plant the explosive charges on the 3 main generators on the raised platform in this enormous room.  Making certain not to be spotted by ''anyone'' in the room (sniping everyone first with a [[Silenced 9mm|silenced 9mm]] is ''highly'' recommended), make your way down the raised platform, planting explosives on each indicated target. Once you are finished, you will be prompted to escape. Inevitably, you will be trapped on the top of one of the dam's control towers. In the resulting cutscene, you leap into the outlet channel to the south of the dam (which the game erroneously calls [[Sherman Reservoir]]) in order to evade the pursuing authorities.
 
'''Custodian''': I ''live'' here.
 
'''Carl Johnson''': Oh, OK. You can stay.
 
'''Custodian''': Great.
 
'''Guppy''': Hey, where's the coffee and doughnuts?
 
'''Carl Johnson''': OK, look. I'm going to go shut off the city's power source. Woozie, look after these fools for me.
 
''(Carl leaves the room)''
 
'''Wu Zi Mu''': OK...now, the important thing to remember with a plan like this is that...nothing can go wrong.
 
(''Carl flies to Sherman Dam, plants the explosives, and escapes through a control tower'')
 
'''Carl Johnson''': Shit, they must have took a wrong turn someplace! What the f...? Ah shit, somebody done locked the hatch!
 
'''Guard''': We've got him trapped! There's no way off that ledge.
 
==Reward==
The reward for completing the mission is an increase in [[respect]]. The mission [[Cop Wheels]] is unlocked.
 
==Trivia==
*The two eavesdroppers in this mission (see above dialogue) are the same two men in the mission [[Madd Dogg (mission)|Madd Dogg]] and that cajole and taunt [[Madd Dogg]], yelling at him to jump off the building in Las Venturas he is planning to jump from. They are also seen in the [[Mountain Cloud Boys (mission)|Mountain Cloud Boys]] mission, rooting for their respective bets in [[Wu Zi Mu's Betting Shop|the betting shop]].One of them is the same eavesdroppers from [[Liberty City]] during the Introduction.
*Despite the game telling you that this entire mission is about stealth, it is still easily beatable should you choose to use your gun and just run in. They will be alerted at the moment, but the outcome of the mission is exactly the same regardless.

Carl Johnson, having successfully convincing Millie Perkins to date him in order to obtain her keycard, is now positioned to continue preparations for the heist on the main vault of Caligula's Palace.

To do this, Carl heads out to Sherman Dam, which supplies Las Venturas with hydroelectric power, to plant remotely detonated explosives on the main generators. After sneaking into the dam's facilities and planting the explosives, Carl narrowly escapes capture by performing a swan-dive from one of the dam's control towers into the outlet channel to the south (erroneously labelled as Sherman Reservoir by the game).
