How to unlock the Take the Cannoli achievement in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Definitive Guide

Your criminal rating in the game is a statistic reflective of the amount of chaos and destruction you cause throughout the game. The more people you kill, cars you blow up etc the higher your criminal rating will reach. Your criminal rating is also affected by the amount of money you have, times you get busted and the number of cheats you use, some of which have a negative effect on your criminal rating. The Godfather criminal rating is the highest rank you can achieve and requires a rating of 1,000,000+. Below is a list of activities and actions that influence your criminal rating:

  • Destroying a plane or helicopter: 30 points
  • Weapon accuracy: 5 points for every 1% accuracy
  • Amount of money: 1 point for every $5,000 held, with a maximum of 200,000 points
  • People wasted: 1 point per person killed
  • Criminals killed during Vigilante missions: 1 point each
  • Getting wasted or busted: -3 pointer each time
  • Using certain cheat codes: -9999 points. This applies to all vehicle spawn cheats.


Based on the above point system, you are free to use any strategy you wish to reach the Godfather criminal rating. There are numerous methods, some quicker than others, that you can use to increase your criminal rating within the shortest possible time. I have only outlined what I believe to be the two quickest and most painless methods, albeit two tedious ones.

Method #1:

Firsty, you will want to start a new game, as specified in the roadmap above and start by collecting 80 hidden packages in order to unlock the Sea Sparrow helicopter. You will also want to be sure not to fire any bullets or get shot at and earn $10,000,000 quickly by replaying the "Cone Crazy" mission. You can get to the second island without having to unlock it via story progression. Once you have unlocked the Sea Sparrow, you can set it up in a certain location to continuously fire the mounted machine guns at a car until the trophy unlocks. Even after the car has blown up in which you are firing at, the game still registers each shot that hits the blown up car as hitting the target, thus increasing your overall accuracy percentage. This method is by far the quickest and if done correctly, you can rubberband the controller thus allowing you to leave the game running. This method works by drastically increasing your accuracy percentage, which based on the above point system will award you with 5 points each time your accuracy percentage goes up by one. For a complete walkthrough of this method, please refer to the guide here: LINK created by BuYcKi

If you don't want to collect the hidden packages twice, then you can start your first playthrough by collecting 80 then saving your game in a separate save file. When you want to obtain this trophy, reload that save file and continue the above method. Thanks to AlexanderWTF221 for the tip.

Method #2:

This method can be completed on the same game save file that you used to complete the game to 100%. However, it requires the input of the 'Blow up all vehicles' cheat code numerous times to blow up helicopters. You will first want to purchase the Hyman Condo and then proceed to park four Sea Sparrows in the garage. You can acquire the Sea Sparrow from the Vercetti Estate after obtaining 80 hidden packages. On the roof of the Hyman Condo is a Maverick helicopter. You can spawn another two by flying away and then returning to the roof. You will now have seven helicopter in close proximity. Now you want to position yourself near the air vents on the roof and continually enter the blow up vehicles cheat. It will take approximately 3-4 hours to reach the Godfather criminal rating. This method may be more desirable than Method #1 as you don't need to collect the hidden packages a second time round. For more details on this method, please refer to the thread here: LINK created by Hvalpen.

This trophy, which spoils a completely sane list, can be obtained in about 10 hours, and most of the time the player is not required to be in front of the TV screen.



There are two conditions for obtaining rank:
1. 1,000,000 criminal rating points;
2. Tommy has at least $10,000,000 in his hands.

The principle of quickly gaining points is as follows: in the statistics of the ongoing game, there are three positions:
Bullets fired - how many bullets were fired;
Bullets that hit - how many bullets hit any target;
Accuracy - percentage of accuracy.
Interestingly, for every 1% accuracy over 100, the game awards 5 points in the criminal rating. It follows that to score 1,000,000 points, 200,000% is required. You can achieve such an insane number by using one of the many bugs of the game - bullets fired by machine guns installed on vehicles, in particular on the Sea Sparrow helicopter, do not increase the number of Bullets fired, but count towards the Bullets that hit column . However, there is a small subtlety here that will subsequently affect the time it takes to receive this trophy - the game will not start crediting rating points until the Bullets fired counter reaches at least 101 bullets. At the same time, it is logical that the more Bullets fired on the counter, the more bullets from the Sea Sparrow will have to be fired at the target to increase accuracy by 1% and the longer it will take to tinker.

Thus, you need to earn a trophy at the very beginning of the game, without using firearms . In this case, it is optimal to keep the counter in the area of ​​101 (about 4 hours of firing from the Sea Sparrow ) - 200 (9 hours) . It should also be noted that bullets fired not only by the player, but also by various NPCs count towards Bullets fired and Bullets that hit . So know that if you hear shooting, chances are high that the bullet counter has already galloped off into the beautiful distance.

And so we are at the beginning of the game and have just left the hotel after saving. Now you need:

1. Collect 80 Hidden Packages to gain access to Sea Sparrow . The helicopter will spawn behind the large mansion in the south of Starfish Island. How to collect 80 figurines without access to the second island? Take advantage of the next bug, for example this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po2ewGUYBiE . Guides for collecting figurines are in the tooltip for the corresponding trophy.

I note that when collecting drugs in the areas of Little Haiti, Little Havanna and the mansion in the south of Starfish Island, you need to be extremely careful and make sure that the bandits who love to start a showdown among themselves do not shoot the Bullets fired stat to indecent values. Also, you shouldn’t go into the police station on the first island (figurine 15); at this stage, without two stars, you won’t be able to get through to the second floor.

2. Take Sea Sparrow , fly to the docks, to the very place where the final mission of the Zebra Cab taxi fleet mission chain will take place and land the helicopter there, leaving the door to the cabin open so that it does not disappear. Find some kind of transport (usually a truck is parked behind the fence at the exit from this part of the port) and corner it in the location with the helicopter. Carefully turn the helicopter around and shoot the car. After the explosion, you can continue to shoot at the skeleton, thereby filling Bullets that hit .






It will take a long time to shoot, but the player’s presence is not required - you can hold down the shoot key with something heavy and go about your business.

As for 10 million, you can quickly get it by completing the Cone Crazy task on the first island. Details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBfPHJpafKs . I note that you need to follow the prompts for the PC version, and not the PS2 as it might seem. In principle, here you can earn the maximum amount of money and get 200,000 for it, wasting a lot of time shooting at burnt garbage.

To speed up the process 5 times, use a cheat code to speed up time and the entire environment ( , ↑, →, ↓, , , ).

Bullets will fly at 100 per second and this rating can be obtained in almost 1-2 hours

After the truck exploded, fly almost close to it, as it turned out, the closer you stand to it, the more points will go into the rating, yesterday at an average distance I scored 100 thousand per hour, today I flew up point-blank and scored 100 thousand. in 25-30 minutes

Regarding the Cone Crazy mission. It was already hard for me to finish at 00:08. And I decided to try slowing down time with the cheat. I entered this cheat after getting into the car, while the mission screensaver is running (since the cheat contains , but you can’t get out of the car). On the “hill” it doesn’t really help, it only improves the trajectory before entering it. But between the cones is a real salvation. As a result, I immediately passed 00:08 and on the second try 00:09. And no hassle whatsoever. The trophy dropped, which proves that cheats in this game DO NOT AFFECT trophies. And this cheat doesn’t even take off points from the rating, just like the cheat about police attention and weapons.

As already mentioned, the system will award rating points per %, starting from 101 bullets in the Bullets Fired counter. Therefore, it is not at all necessary that this number of bullets be equal to the Bullets That Hit counter . The main thing is that at the moment when you start farming percentages, the Bullets Fired counter is exactly 101, no more, no less (in the interests of your time). At the same time, all these bullets can easily be thrown into milk and it doesn’t matter whether these first 101 bullets go into the Bullets That Hit statistics or not. This will not affect the time it takes to receive the trophy. You will still exceed the Bullets Fired stat when you shoot the Sea Sparrow helicopter's machine gun, whose bullets only count towards the Bullets that Hit stat.

If you collect packages in a helicopter, you don't have to worry too much about NPCs that can boost the Bullets Fired counter. In this case, they definitely won’t shoot more than 101 bullets (I only shot 8). The main thing, I repeat, is that the BF counter should be equal to 101 bullets at the time of starting points farming. If the counter is above 101 bullets, then you will need more time to farm. For example, if your BF is equal to 202 bullets, then instead of the minimum 4 hours you will spend twice as much, etc.

I'll add. You can get 10 million right away by buying any house with a garage. (I remember that some house requires 6k). For this purpose, money can be easily obtained from the fire department. Half an hour of play and voila. Then, after the purchase, you steal a cop’s car and, using cheats, begin police missions. By the hundredth level you will have 10kk, 150 armor. Cheats do not reset rating points. Checked at the very end after the meeting and winding through the helicopter. Well, then according to the description of other fellow collectors and cheaters.

I'll add some specifics, because... I didn’t fully understand it myself based on what was described above.

To get a trophy you must have 10 million and more than 1,000,000 rating. All at once.

10 million:
- as described above, take the “Stallion”
- the first 7 ( precisely seven! ) times we enter the checkpoint when the timer is 00:00 .
- We do this for the 8th time when the timer shows 00:01.
- 9th when 00:02
- and so on, it is important to note that you can make mistakes, but you can make mistakes by being late, and not ahead of time. One mistake ahead of time - and 10 million will be practically unattainable.
- the most difficult time is the last time, when you have to arrive at 00:09. Practice, and only that.

Boost points:
- we collect packages, and believe me, this can be done without a single shot from your and the enemy’s side. The main thing is not to take the package at the police station or near the military base ! I recommend buying yourself a property near the stadium, where you can save and take a helicopter. We collect packages by helicopter! Especially in gangster areas.
- we achieve the number of shots to 101. I had 0 at the time of 80 packets. He stole a car, put it in the garage, shot at it, walked away, the garage repaired it, repeated. Total: 101 shots, 101 on target, 100% accuracy.
- we take a helicopter near our mansion
- We're flying to the film studio.
- shoot the truck (keep your distance)
- We fly up close, hold down the fire button.

If at the time of 80 packages you had 0 shots, and you did as I advised, you will take the trophy in 3 hours.

Purely shooting from a helicopter took exactly 3 hours and 48 minutes . Followed the tips above:
- Started a new game.
- I immediately went to collect all the available Hidden Packages on the first island (except for the roofs and the police station).
- Then, through a bug, I got to the second island and collected all 80 Hidden Packages (at that moment there were 0 Bullets fired ).
- Scored over $10,000,000 in the Cone Crazy challenge.
- On Sea Sparrow, I flew to the film studio and fired exactly Bullets with a sniper rifle: 101 shots into the box.
- Then he began to shoot from the Sea Sparrow at the truck.

This method is extremely long and tedious.
It is much better to fill out the rating as the majority advises:
- Start of a new game
- Available packages on 1st island
- Grille at Pier-1
- 80 packages, carefully and without shooting. Don’t go to the police station or military base yet, and don’t collect 2 packages at Diaz’s estate, they’ll shoot there. In total, it is quite possible to collect 96 packages, the main thing is to save regularly and keep track of the counter of fired bullets - no more than 101.
- Sparrow and the film studio. 101 bullets fired. Clamp with an elastic band, the joystick - in the charger or on a cord, and then you can safely go to bed. By this morning I already had 1.5 million ratings. I recommend not to overdo it, because yesterday my game froze somewhere after 2.5 million... Or at least save after the required million!





Next, I want to share my experience about Gone Creasy. Race through checkpoints in the multi-storey car park behind the Ocean View Hotel. In terms of time, we do everything as DaTre wrote, he is very precise there. If something goes wrong, we restart the race by placing the car in its original place, there is a special arrow drawn there:


Moreover, any Stallion standing nearby will do.

The race consists of 4 stages:

1) Slide.



From the start we go calmly to the right (time will start only after the 1st checkpoint) towards the hill. On the gas hill, we turn left at the same time. In general, not knocking down two columns and maintaining the trajectory is not difficult (although falls and coups may occur...)

2) The car is on the left.



We focus on it and drive close to the starboard side - as a result, we slip exactly between the pegs with the checkpoint. The ride goes in a straight line - time is saved significantly, and the speed here does not need to be reduced much.

3) Checkpoint in the middle.



The most difficult. You can again drive between the pegs - slightly diagonally, but it is advisable to reduce the speed. Then if you carefully touch the peg, you won’t get banned!

4) The final "gate".



You can enter them quickly, but you must always remember how much time should remain on the timer at the finish line. I recommend keeping a piece of paper like this (or printing mine out, maybe your efforts were in vain) and crossing out the zeroes:

0:00 - o o o o o o o o

0:01 - oh

0:02 - oh

0:03 - oh

0:04 - oh

0:05 - oh

0:06 - oh

0:07 - oh

0:08 - oh

0:09 - oh

0:10 - o (optional)

To receive the required amount for the prize, it is enough to achieve the result of 0:09 according to the correct scheme. I myself managed to get 0:10 quite easily, and as a result I earned $26 million, which is clearly enough for the rest of the game!
