For this mission, GTA 4 players can choose to kill or spare one of Adam Dimayev's associates. They aren't rewarded or penalized for either decision, so it's more of a moral one.


7) Late Checkout

GTA 4 players can choose to kill or spare one of Isaac Roth's associates during this mission, making the decision-making similar to the previous one. There are no incentives or penalties for this choice either.


8) Blood Brothers

Players can choose to:

  • Kill Francis McReary: Players will receive $10,000 if Derrick is killed, which can be increased to $20,000 if they call Francis during the mission and increase the pay. After completing the mission, they will be able to get rid of up to a three-star wanted level by calling Francis. After the game ends, this ability will be disabled.
  • Kill Derrick McReary: They will not receive anything from Derrick if Francis is killed. However, this decision will make the next mission, Undertaker, easier, as they will need to drive to the Colony Island cemetery instead of Steinway.

9) That Special Someone

In this mission, players can decide to:

  • Spare Darko: If Darko is spared, Niko will feel better because he believes that if he killed Darko, nothing would have changed.
  • Kill Darko: If Darko is killed, Niko later claims that killing Darko makes him feel empty.

10) One Last Thing

Niko is given the choice of killing Dimitri or making a deal with him. The ending of GTA 4, as well as the last two missions, will differ depending on which option players choose.

  • Deal ending: If the player accepts the Deal, Niko will receive $250,000. However, Roman will die, and Kate will abandon him.
  • Revenge ending: Niko will be able to kill both Dimitri and Pegorino if the player chooses to take revenge. However, this results in Kate's death.
