L.A. Noire Guide › Street Crimes › Arson

38: Café Holdup

KGPL radios your 211 at Boos Brothers Café at 522 South Hill Street.

Objectives

  • Subdue the robbery suspects.
  • Subdue the hostage taker.

Fail Conditions

  • Phelps, Biggs, or the hostage dies.
  • You leave the area.

Time Available: 08:00—18:00.

Drive to the crime scene.

When you arrive at the café , you find an employee lying near the entrance, suffering from an apparent gun wound. Seconds later, you hear the suspects in the back parking lot through the opened back door. One of them points a gun at an employee and gives them five seconds to hand over the money. Subdue this thug before he shoots the hostage.

Subdue the hostage taker.

Don’t worry about the well-being of the customers in the holdup. You have a clear shot at the hostage-taker through the back door. Shoot him. The other suspects scramble after your kill shot. You have only five seconds to take the gunman down and rescue the hostage.

Subdue the robbery suspects.

As you run out the back door to take cover behind the line of nearby crates, a single vehicle pulls up and brings the support of one additional gunman (now a total of three enemies).

When the opportunity arises, pop up from cover and shoot the enemy to the far right, covering behind a dumpster. Then do the same to the gunman to the left, behind the blue dumpster. With the biggest threat out of the way, concentrate your fire on the gunman behind the vehicle. That’s a wrap—forget the ambulance; order body bags.
