Adrenaline Junkie - Freefall for the longest possible time. [25]

Parachutes are back to Grand Theft Auto games, after they made an appearance in
San Andreas. This "toy" becomes available after the mission "High Dive" for
Yusuf Amir. After this mission is complete, Armando will send you a message
saying that he now has parachutes available in his Gun Van. Just select the
option "Gun Van" in your phone and Armando will spawn near you with a van full
of weapons. Buy a parachute and search for a helicopter. Before entering the
helicopter, select the parachute and press LMB. This will make the parachute
appear on Luis' back, ready to use. When you are in a helicopter, the map will
show an altimeter. Climb as high as you can, until you see that the helicopter
cannot go any higher. Then, press F to get out of the helicopter and enter in a
freefall. Press the W key to descend really fast, and then open the parachute
just before hitting the ground. If done correctly, the achievement will unlock.
In case you pull too soon or too late, just try again until you get it. The
trick here is to go as high as you can and open the parachute at the very last
moment, but without dying.



Bear Fight - Win the L.C. Cage Fighters championship. [15]

The L.C. Cage Fighters championship will become available after the mission
"Momma's Boy". In this mission you will learn where the fights take place, and
after the mission is complete you can return here to fight or bet on other
fighters. To unlock the achievement you must win all 6 rounds, which is a hard
thing to do. Each round brings 3 different opponents, so you must defeat 18
different guys without dying to win the championship. The first 2 rounds don't
cause any problem, because the opponents are easy to beat. The problem starts
in the 3rd round, where the enemies are harder to beat and, to make things even
worse, they are allowed to bring weapons: a wooden bat and a knife, both of
which can cause some serious damage with only a few hits. You won't go far by
just using your fists, so the trick here is to counter the opponent and steal
his weapon, which you will be able to use for the rest of the round. To perform
a counter attack and steal the weapon, you will have to press SPACE right
before the enemy performs an attack on you. It is hard to get the timing right,
but if you manage to do it, Luis will crouch and you just have now to quickly
press R to steal the opponent's weapon. With a bat or a knife in your hands it
is much easier to beat each opponent. The achievement will unlock after your
beat the last enemy in the 6th round.

Here are a few tips and a link to a video to help you get this achievement:

- Never let an opponent recover from the attacks, keep punching or kicking him
all the time;

- Remember not to be too far or too close to an opponent, otherwise Luis won't
be able to attack properly;

- The first opponent of round 4 and 5 brings a bat, so try to take it without
losing health. This bat will be very useful to beat these two rounds, because
the enemies are very though.

- Try to save your health for the last 3 matches of the 6th round. You gain 25%
of life when each round begins, but this isn't much, so try not to lose any
health during the first 5 rounds (body armour doesn't offer any protection);

- The guys that bring a knife are the hardest to beat, because they are very
fast and they take a lot of your health with a single combo. You can try to
take their knife, but it is hard to do it and requires a great timing, so my
advice is to steal the knife only in the last round and if you have a lot of
health. All 3 final opponents bring knives, and it is very hard to beat them
without one, so the sooner you get yourself a knife, the more chances you
have of winning;

- Keep trying and trying. This achievement is hard to unlock, but with some
training you will eventually get it. Remember: practice leads to perfection!

Catch the Bus - Dance perfectly in both Tony's nightclubs. [15]

The clubs become available after the first mission is complete. There are two
that are owned by Tony: Hercules and Maisonette 9. You can go there at night
and dance with a lady. To activate the mini-game "Bus Stop", you must dance
perfectly on each club. If you fail 3 or 4 moves, you won't take part in the
special dance, thus you won't unlock the achievement. To dance perfectly, press
WSAD according to the beat in the image. When you are told to HOLD, just hold
one of the keys, and then press RMB and LMB, again according to the beat until
the pink bar around the beat is full. If you do it right, you will now take
part in the "Bus Stop" mini-game. This event is composed of quick time events,
and all you have to do is press the key that appears on the screen on time. It
is actually quite easy, the only problem is taking part of this mini-game,
because the lady seems to be very exigent with the quality of your dance. Once
you have successfully complete the "Bus Stop" on each club, the achievement
will unlock. Check the link below to see a video of the achievement being
unlocked:

Diamonds Forever - Complete the Trinity. [5]

If you have played Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned, you are well
aware of the "diamonds deal" that is a major point in the storyline of the
three games. This is also the only mission where all protagonists are together,
hence the name "Impossible Trinity. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, you will now
take the role of Luis, the one who made the deal go wrong. It is a very simple
mission, compared to Niko's and Johnny's. You just have to pick up the Buzzard
from Yusuf Amir, land on the roof of the museum and then go to a small window,
where a well-known cut-scene will start. After watching it, get back on the
roof via a stair, fight some cops with the Buzzard's weapons and then land back
on the heliport, where Tony is waiting for you. The achievement will unlock
right after this. The mission is called "Not So Fast", and if you need help to
beat it, check the following walkthrough:

Four Play - Hit a flag with a golf ball four times. [10]

The golf mini-game will be available after the mission "Practice Swing" for
Gay Tony. In this mission you will learn how to play golf, and after that you
can come back and play against a friend or a random NPC. To unlock this one you
need to get a perfect swing 4 times. Use the mouse to move the target around
the field, and place it exactly on the flag (zoom in by pressing and holding
RMB). When the target is where you want it, press LMB. On the left side of the
screen you have a bar, that will raise and come down until you press LMB again.
You must press the button exactly when the bar hits the black mark. If you do
so, the ball will hit the flag perfectly. Just do this 4 times (it doesn't need
to be in the same game) and the achievement will unlock. It might take some
practice to get this done, but it is not hard.



Gold Star - Score 100% in all missions. [80]

In The Ballad of Gay Tony each mission has a scoring system, that is calculated
according to a certain number of requirements, like time taken to complete the
mission, shooting accuracy, headshots performed, among others. To unlock this
achievement you must score 100% in all 25 missions. It is almost impossible to
score 100% the first time you play the game, because you don't know what you
have to do in each mission and you don't know what the requirements for 100%
are for that particular mission. So, after you beat the game, you will have
the opportunity to replay any mission. Just use your phone, select "Missions"
and choose the one you want to repeat until you get 100%. The requirements are
cumulative, so you don't need to meet all requirements for a certain mission at
once. The mission "Chinese Takeout" is
