It is a good idea to drive to Roman's cab depot in a fast car when you go to receive this mission, as you will likely need it. Either a very fast car or one with very good handling is recommended for this mission, and for that matter all missions that involve a car chase.

ADVERTISEMENT

Uncle Vlad is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. In this mission, the player is introduced to executions, a type of assassination that involves a pistol.

Overview

After Niko (the main character) and his cousin Roman discover that Vladimir Glebov (the local Russian criminal) is stealing Roman's girlfriend, Niko forces Roman to go with him to kill Vlad. Roman believes this is a bad idea because Vlad's boss may assassinate Niko and Roman.

Niko and Roman drive to Vlad's bar. Niko confronts Vlad, who runs away at the back door of the bar and leaves Niko to be killed by his two goons. Niko kills the goons and chases Vlad, but quite frankly Vlad escapes in a car. Niko gets into his own car and chases Vlad to the shore of the Humboldt River, where he kills Glebov point blank.

Roman escapes to a dumpster in Broker (on Tulsa Street) after the death of Vlad because he thinks it's a good hiding spot from Mikhail Faustin, Vlad's boss.

Walkthrough

Roman becomes aware that Mallorie has been secretly going on dates with Vlad. Naturally he's upset, and Niko wants to go to the Comrades Bar and deal with him directly. Roman thinks Niko is crazy because he thinks that Vlad's men will get him and Niko into a lot of danger. Go with Roman to look for Vlad at the Comrades Bar

It is a good idea to drive to Roman's cab depot in a fast car when you go to receive this mission, as you will likely need it. Either a very fast car or one with very good handling is recommended for this mission, and for that matter all missions that involve a car chase.

Once the cutscene is over, either get into your fast car or the Roman's Taxi which now appears in the garage (and which will serve nicely if you don't have something else). Drive to the Comrades Bar to confront Vlad.

Vlad runs out the back door. Take out his goons with a small gun (or push them down to the ground quickly and continue running) then head out the front door; Vlad will drive past as you get in your car so it saves time. Try not to have the shotgun armed while running, as you'll go slower.

Vlad had a getaway car stowed around back, and now he takes off. Get into your own car and chase him down.

Follow Vlad as he winds through the streets of Hove Beach. Once he gets to the docks, Vlad will crash his car and run away. The chase stops because the river in front of Vlad blocks him from escaping any further. Niko orders Roman to stay. Get your pistol out and confront Vlad Glebov.

After the cutscene, you're prompted to execute and kill Vlad. Executions are when you target in-mission characters with a pistol and the reticule flashes red. If you shoot, you will see a bloody death scene. However, you don't have to execute him - you can free-aim and kill him that way.

Enjoy the long cutscene that shows up that concludes the mission. Take a moment to look at the river.

Goofs

  • You automatically get a handgun if you do not already have one after the cutscene where Vlad is cornered at the River. This is a good thing if the player plans on stacking up pistol ammo.
  • If you use cheats to gain a rocket launcher before the mission, you can do something with it. After the cutscene where Niko runs into Vlad's bar, take out the rocket launcher and run out of the back like you normally would. Vlad's car takes about two seconds to drive out of view so you can blow it up. However, it fixes itself after a few seconds so the chase sequence is still present. It's still an interesting sight, though.
