Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend is the final mission for the McReary Family. In this mission, Niko Bellic and Packie McReary arrange a deal on Colony Island to exchange their hostage, Gracie Ancelotti, for a ransom of diamonds.
Overview
Niko and Packie offer to give the Ancelottis back their daughter, Gracie, in exchange for diamonds the Ancelottis stole in an earlier incident. While Gracie is sucessfully returned to her family, the deal is interrupted by Rodislav Bulgarin, whose men steal the diamonds. Niko and Packie engage them in a prolonged gunfight, but the man with the diamonds throws them into a passing dump truck out of spite, trusting neither Bulgarin nor Niko and Packie to let him live. Packie indeed kills him, and the pair are left with neither their hostage nor their ransom.
Walkthrough
Head over to the safehouse in Northwood, Algonquin. Packie and Gracie are waiting for you in the car. Hop in and drive to Charge Island.
Drive into the yellow marker at the exchange point, which is an abandoned oil factory. A cutscene shows the deal. The deal becomes botched when Rodislav Bulgarin steals the diamonds and Luis Fernando Lopez and Anthony Prince escape with Gracie, so basically Packie and Niko lose everything.
Gain cover and shoot Bulgarin's men. There are about a dozen, so take your time. Use a grenade only when Packie is far from the detonation point. Once the nearby men have been wiped out, get closer and ambush the remaining ones. Follow Packie to the hallways above ground. There will be a lot of men on the aboveground hallways so use the pipes as cover.
Packie and Niko will split up with Niko taking the "low road" and Packie taking the "high road." The view will focus on three cars that skid on the ground nearby; use a rocket launcher or a few grenades and blow up the cars before the men can spread out and cause trouble.
Meet back up with Packie and corner the two men with the diamonds. Watch as the men drop the diamonds into a moving Biff dump truck below. Packie curses and draws his gun; help Packie kill the men, then slide down the ladder. Drive Packie to his Mom's house in Meadows Park, Dukes. On the way, Packie will lament the failure of their plan.
Trivia
- The mission is seen again in The Ballad of Gay Tony but this time, in Luis's point of view.
