1. Story Achievements (200G)
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Story achievements are achievements in the game that you unlock by playing through the main storyline missions of the game.

Since these achievements are for the main missions, they don’t really require any explanation or strategy. Instead of giving them each their own section in this guide, I am just going to list all of the different story achievements right here:

All Dressed Up for San Fierro (40G) – Complete The Green Sabre
Getting Started (20G) – Complete Big Smoke
The End of the Line (100G) – Complete End of the Line
What happens in Las Venturas… (40G) – Complete Yay Ka-Boom-Boom

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Description: Export all three car lists
Strategy: This refers to a series of side missions where you have to collect specific cars for a buyer and then deliver them. You will receive phone calls for each of the three lists of vehicles that can be delivered. You can’t fully complete these series of side missions until you have reached the third “island” in the game, so you do have to progress pretty far in the story before worrying about this achievement.

These vehicles are on the first list (alphabetical order):

Admiral
Buffalo
Camper
Feltzer
Infernus
Patriot
Remington
Sanchez
Sentinel
Stretch

Cars on the second list:

Blista Compact
Cheetah
Comet
FCR-900
Rancher
Sabre
Slamvan
Stafford
Stallion
Tanker

Cars on the third list:

Banshee
BF Injection

3. Assassin (10G)
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Description: Complete a stealth kill
Strategy: You can get this achievement automatically by performing the mission called Mad Dogg Rhymes. That mission requires you to perform a stealth kill and teaches you how stealth kills are done. However, you can get this achievement way before you get to that mission.

All you need to do is get a knife. Then click in the left stick to crouch. Walk up behind any of the characters in the game. Hold the right trigger when walking up towards the enemy. Press the B button after CJ prepares to stab the person. This will initiate the stealth kill.

Description: Fail a mission
Strategy: This is one of the easiest achievements to get into the game. Just fail a mission on purpose! You will probably fail a mission just by naturally playing the game just by chance, but you’ll want to make sure that you fail at least one mission before completing the game.

Go to the casino. Then do just as the achievement says. Put all of the money on the red or black at the roulette wheel. Keep reloading your save until you win.

Strategy: When you have over $6,969 saved up, just go to a clothing store and spend as much as possible. Then spend as much as possible on hair and tattoos and whatever else. This achievement is cumulative, so you don’t have to spend it all at one time.

- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Description: Reach maximum respect
Strategy: We’ve already talked about taking over territories. For this achievement, you have to gain the maximum amount of respect. You can do this mostly by taking over the territories in the game. You also get respect based on your attire and what-not (you want to wear GREEN), but taking over all of the territories is what will get you the most respect.

Before attempting this, make sure you have FULL health, and FULL body armor. Do NOT use cheats because cheats WILL disable achievements. With full health and full body armor (plus plenty of ammo), start going on a rampage. Do this until you have 6 wanted stars. The achievement will pop at this point.

22. Serial offender (20G)

Description: Get arrested 50 times
Strategy: Commit crimes to attract the attention of the cops. When you have at least 1 star, the cops will try to arrest you. If you get knocked down next to a cop, they will point their guns at you and it will say BUSTED! However, sometimes they will just shoot at you and kill you.

To guarantee that the cops will arrest you, commit a crime and then get into a car. Slow down and drive next to the cops. They will yank you out of the car and immediately arrest you.

25. Time to Kill (30G)
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Description: Watch Credits to the end
Strategy: This is a MISSABLE ACHIEVEMENT! And it’s one of the more annoying missable achievements that I’ve ever experienced, because if you don’t have multiple saves, then this could make you have to go back through the entire game from the beginning.

The credits can be skipped in San Andreas by pressing buttons. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS AFTER COMPLETING THE MAIN MISSION. Let the credits ROLL ALL THE  WAY THROUGH. The best thing to do is to just put the controller down and walk away, to be perfectly honest.

26. Trickster (30G)
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Description: Master Pimping Game
Strategy: This is technically one of the vehicle missions, but since this one is not as well known, I decided to give it its own section in the guide.

You need to get the vehicle called the Broadway. Once you have that vehicle, click in the right stick while driving it. This will activate the side mission where you are a pimp.

Complete the pimping game by doing 10 missions of it.
