How to unlock the Finish Him achievement in Grand Theft Auto IV - Definitive Guide

The best place to attempt this is the helicopter tour ticket line. Perform the counters here and you'll get this pretty fast.

Using your fists, imo, is the best because you can do this 2 or 3 times before you need to move on to the next victim.

Nice video... Do you have to knock them down/out, or is it really just counters?

This really helped, it's a great spot, thanks!
This sure is an old guide for an old achievement, but up until now I've never actually "wanted" the achievement. It bothered me how most just kept running away when I hit them out of the blue, or ran them over.

For anyone in need, the Helitours (helicopter tours) location is found at the bottom right of the second large island (Algonquin). If you're far enough to have the second island and it's map markers unlocked, there may already be an icon there to help guide you.

This is by far the best location to do this, and I've been searching. Nice solution!

like Smeds said already, having the hot dog stand is very helpful. you should include that in the solution itself.

Terrible achievement, either I have a crap reaction or my controller doesn't register I'm pressing A to dodge... Great solution though :)

For those who don't know where it is, are you serious? Isn't the helicopter icon enough, wasn't doing the hell tours achievement pointing you there? My god how can some people be so pathetically low iqed

As for the BEST place this is not, as the liberty city cage fighter is the BEST penultimate place, the helicopter tours area is the second best and I'd give 3rd place to the refinery on the 3rd island

I tried at the heli tours area but there were always cops hanging around. I ended up getting this at the strip club. Just pick a fight with the bouncers and you dont have to worry about cops.

@Alf Ganikiller If you don't know how to perform a counter, I suggest you RTFM.

@Count Flanders, so people come here to find out how to do counters, and you tell him to go somewhere else to find out how to do counters... apparently that makes sense to you. So you should already know how to do it, before you get here... right.

It’s not this guys job to teach counters. It’s a very simple thing to learn in game. He was just showing a good place to do it. Cry babies, I swear to god.

This is the best way to do it IMHO. I tried multiple different areas to no avail, so if your looking for the spot to get this achievement, this is the place. For the record, it took me 5 total people, 2 counters a pop to kill, and there was a hot dog stand just past the ticket line!

Havnt voted, but your guide would be greatly improved by adding exactly where on the map this location is for those that dont know, as well as what buttons to press when fighting (some, like me, come back years after playing to mop some achievements up and dont remember such details). Otherwise, thanks for the tip.

You need to run up to random pedestrians and start a fight with them. When they take a swing at you, press A to dodge and then B or Y to counter. Do this 10 times within 4 minutes.

It should be said that the 10 counters don't have to be done on the same life. I got 5 counters, died, got 5 more and then the achievement popped up :)

Take a cab to the Helicopter location. Wait until you start to see people walking into the area and then pick a fight with one person at a time. Stay away from the security guards in orange vests and the police wont come unless one of the random people calls the police on their cell phone. Press B to push someone, then lock onto them with the left trigger. When they are about to throw a punch, tap the A button to dodge it. You will know you did this because Niko will sort of bend backwards. It doesn't count if you just move out of the way. As soon as you are done dodging the attack, press Y to perform the counter attack. You will know you are doing this correctly because it will be a series of punches and kicks that looks like a standard combo move. There is a hot dog vendor outside the helicopter entrance so if you are very low on health run out there real quick and grab some food. If you should die or get arrested, the clock doesn't reset so when you respawn outside of the hospital or police station just pick a fight with the closest person to continue your run. You can perform two combos on each person before you knock them out so just make sure that there are at least 5 people close to you when you begin. Some pedestrians will run away when you initiate a fight but most will not. Do this within four minutes to get your achievement. Good luck!

It is easy to complete this achievement in TBOGT LC Cage Fights:
1) no police
2) only one opponent at the moment
3) you do not need to run and look for a victim

I find the easiest place is on "Happiness Island". After the final mission you will be there. Run around and shove hot dog vendors. They will always fight back. Once you see their arm go back hit A. Your guy should duck. Now hit B. You can use a counter twice on one guy so you will need atleast 5 guys for this achievement. I also find this spot good as you will almost never get any cops after you and because no one will back up the guy you're fighting like how people do on the street.

Hope this helps.

*Note* If you are going to vote down this solution, please state why in a comment so I can fix it.

At first glance this achievement looks fairly hard. Actually, it is quite simple. To start, find a highly populated area in Liberty City. By that, I mean pick a spot where, at a glance, you can pick out ten pedestrians you can use. Pick a fight, and simply wait for a counter. Just counter, don't attack them. Repeat nine times and the achievement will unlock. Also, if you die, don't worry. Your progress will have saved. So that means if you successfully counter seven attacks in two and a half minutes, but got shot and had to go to the hospital, you are still at seven counters with a minute and a half left.

I found it much easier using the baseball bat, just seemed to dodge easier, and it obviously does more damage. Made a road block on the freeway and provoked the drivers :D

To do this start a fight with someone and hold left trigger to lock on to them. Tap A repeatedly and sometimes you will dodge the attack. After you dodge the attack tap Y to counter their attack. Do this 10 times and the achievement will unlock. Sometimes you can do more than one counter on the same person. Also it is good to move around and stand back a bit to help avoid attacks. Both the Helitours and Cagefights are good places to do this achievement.

This trophy is very simple, all you wanna do is dodge as much punches as someone throws at you, All you need to do, is, go up to a person and hold L2, Your character should be locked on to that person, next you wanna start a fight by pushing them, or punching etc, keep in mind
you want to look for people who swing there arm out for a big hook, and as there swinging,
press X on your controller to dodge there punch, and you gotta do this 10 times in, 4 minutes,
i also suggest going to this location,
External image


If you're at this location you have an unlimited amount of people to fight there, i also suggest you don't fight the workers they're the people with the red and white vest on, they will usually be standing there guiding people, do not fight these people unless you want to get teamed up on.

Also here is a video, that might help out with trophy, (ALL CREDIT GOES TO, GTA Series Videos)

It’s best to do it at the pier where they go on helicopter tours - the police stay there for an extremely long time and you can tell the workers.

It’s better to start from the end, that is, go further from the highway to the distant helicopters to the left, since it’s better to hit the dunces one at a time, because otherwise the counterattack won’t work. Also, in the distance, they won’t notice any garbage, and only then, closer to the highway, you will have time to get the trophy and leave under the howl of sirens.

The principle of a counterattack: hold down the left trigger (LT) and push the opponent to “B”, and then wait for his blow, as soon as he starts to swing, press sharply on “A”, after dodging the blow, begin to press “B” or “quickly 3 times” Y". "X" will not work, as it needs to be extinguished with quick blows, not strong ones. Niko will carry out a technical combo, knocking down the enemy... it turns out that he can do a lot of things, almost like a policeman from Sleeping Dogs, but due to clumsy controls, much has remained unexplored by most gamers.

PS. Initially, it is better to push rather than hit, so that the enemy has enough health for 2 counterattacks, this way you can kill 5 guys and the achievement will drop. You can also press “A” a lot and often to dodge, if you have a bad reaction to your opponent’s swings - I got tired of hitting the button and I waited, and then I pressed it once and it worked. I made it in less than 3 minutes and left just when the police noticed me.
