You were the stupid one, Vladdy boy. Nobody fucks with my family.

Uncle Vlad is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by his cousin Roman Bellic from his taxi depot office in Hove Beach, Broker, Liberty City.

The mission introduces the player to executions, a type of assassination which displays a cutscene if a pistol is used.

Plot and Walkthrough[]

Opening Scene[]

Niko finds Roman drinking at the cab depot, apparently he is depressed because he has just found out that Mallorie is having an affair with Vlad, Niko doesn't get surprised and says that he was also suspicious of the affair. Roman gets angry at this statement and says that Niko should have alerted him instead of keeping to himself. Indignant at being called disloyal by Roman, Niko decides to take matters at his own hand and go personally talk to Vlad about the affair. Roman gets nervous after hearing this and decides to go with Niko to prevent him from doing "anything stupid".

Killing Vlad[]

Go with Roman and look for Vlad at Comrades.
Waypoint: Comrades Bar off Mohawk Avenue in Hove Beach, Broker.

Niko and Roman confronts Vlad at the Comrades Bar, who escapes out the back door of the bar, leaving Niko to fight his two goons.

Don't let Vlad escape.

Use preferably a Shotgun to kill the two goons without taking damage and get out of the bar, either following Vlad through the back door or the front door. Vlad will wait outside the bar indefinitely until the player exits, so there's no need to worry about taking too long inside the bar. As soon as the player is outside, Vlad will be show fleeing in a Marbelle.

Vlad is fleeing in his car. Get back to your vehicle and chase after him.
Chase after Vlad.

Go back to the vehicle and chase Vlad, there's no secret here, just keep close to Vlad's vehicle through the chase and pay attention to the trucks and buses that can block the patch. Eventually Vlad will crash his car on the eastern shore of the Humboldt River and try to escape on foot.

Vlad's crashed his car. He's trying to escape on foot.

Vlad will tell Niko that if he kills him, Niko will be throwing his and Roman's lives away for "that piece of Puerto Rican chocha", and that he has powerful friends who will find and kill them, Niko ignores Vlad and shoots him in the face at point blank range. However, Roman thinks that killing Vlad may make his goons kill Niko and Roman. But, Niko confronts Roman and says that everything would be fine.

Roman flees, eventually hiding in a dumpster on Tulsa Street, Broker, thinking that it would be a good hiding spot from Mikhail Faustin, Vlad's boss.

  • Mickey (optional) - Can be killed by Niko Bellic, but killing him has no effect on the story.

Trivia[]

  • The mission's title is a reference to Anton Chekhov's play Uncle Vanya.
  • The player automatically gets a pistol, if they do not already have one, after the cutscene where Vlad is cornered at the river.
    • Even if the player is carrying the Combat Pistol, the game will automatically replace it with the normal one.
  • Vlad's car is indestructible. Even if the player fires rockets at the car, it will not explode, and the chase will still continue.
  • Even if the player pushes Vlad in the river and then kills him, the cutscene will still show Niko dragging his body into the river. After the mission, however, his body will disappear.
  • In the cutscene after Niko kills Vlad and he and Roman go to dump his body in the river, Roman will become frightened by the sound of police sirens. However, the sirens do not sound like the police sirens heard during normal gameplay.
    • Despite the fact that this can be hard to notice, a police car with a cop inside can be seen driving on the Broker Bridge. This can be more easily seen if the cutscene is viewed in a cutscene viewer.
  • After Vlad's death, mysteriously, his car disappears.
  • After the mission, Vlad's phone number will be deleted from Niko's phone.
  • Niko killing Vlad is seen in the end credits of The Lost and Damned.
  • The Comrades Bar can still be visited when hanging out with friends after Vlad's death, but it is not known who the new owner of the bar is.
