Ice Cold Killa

To play Ice Cold Killa (ICK), you have to pass the Snail Trail mission. Aim of  ICK is to kill a man named Jizzy and steal his cell phone. First, I will present the objectives and walkthrough of Ice Cold Killa in few words and then we will look into it in greater detail.

To start ICK, walk into the red marker at your Doherty garage to trigger a cut scene where Carl Johnson (CJ) meets Cesar Vialpando in the garage. After a small conversation, your real work starts to hunt your target!

How to complete Ice Cold Killa?

  1. After cut scene, visit Pleasure Domes Club where Jizzy can be found. Its location is shown on your map and it is marked with a yellow blip.
  2. Enter the club using a skyline above after Jizzy's guard stop you from entering the club.
  3. Once inside, go near him and then a small scene starts.
  4. After the scene, chase Jizzy using a bike or a car and shoot him down.
  5. Once killed, collect his cell phone to end the ICK.
Important Tip for Ice Cold Killa: Before entering the club, destroy the cars outside using a rocket launcher or a gun. Because your target will escape using them. But if it is not there then your target escapes using a bike and it becomes much easy to kill him on motor bike.

Video Walk through



From your garage in San Fierro, you can play ICK. Precisely, its Doherty garage from where you trigger this ICK. In this, you are your own boss and you are playing it for yourself. In a small scene, Carl meets Cesar Vialpando and they together have a small chat related to guns, Wu Zi, etc. Carl then prepares to leave for Pleasure Domes. Cesar wants to come along but is stopped by the protagonist of GTA San Andreas.

Now, proceed to the club of one of your boss Jizzy. Its location is on your game radar marked with a yellow blip. There blast all the vehicles outside so as to make it difficult for your target to escape using any of the vehicles. If you do so then he escapes on a bike making your job much easy to shoot him down.

Guards stop your from entering and hence you have to get inside using an alternative route which is a skyline at the roof top. Fly to the top using a jet pack and then get inside. There sneak past the guards and meet Jizzy to start a scene. Carl has a heated conversation with Jizzy during which he escapes and sets his guards on Carl. Now, knock down all the guards and exit the club. There outside your enemy escapes on a bike (if you destroy the cars outside). Immediately, grab a bike or a car and chase him down.

Kill him to get access to his phone which has details of The Ballas Gang and also your sworn in enemies Big Smoke and Ryder. At the end, Carl makes a call to Cesar to inform him about the next task at a location named PIER 69. Here, you have to take down the Loco Syndicate as well as Ryder.
