“

Jacob here, you know Jacob? Jacob tells me it wasn't him, but some people he introduced me to have ripped me off big time! And put the heat on me, I know they did.

”

— Elizabeta to Niko

The Snow Storm is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. The mission is unlocked some time after The Puerto Rican Connection, when Niko receives a call from Elizabeta Torres.

Overview

Niko enters Elizabeta's apartment to find her and Jacob in an argument. Elizabeta has been ripped off by a contact which Little Jacob had told her about, and blames Jacob for the loss of her coke. The buyers that Little Jacob had found were the Angels of Death, who ripped him off because the coke had been stolen from them in the first place. Elizabeta demands Jacob gets the drugs back, so Niko goes to the old hospital in Colony Island.

Mission Objectives

In order to complete the mission the player must:

Go to the old hospital and get Elizabeta's coke back
Find the drugs in the hospital and take out anyone in your way
You've found Elizabeta's stuff, the coke is on the table
N.O.O.S.E. are raiding the hospital, get out of there and lose your wanted level
Go and meet Little Jacob

Walkthrough

Go to the old hospital, when Niko gets there, the Angels of Death and the Spanish Lords will be doing the deal. Elizabeta's coke will be in a room at the back of the hospital, so the player will have to cross the entire hospital to retrieve the coke. The hospital corridors are very narrow, so try to procede slowly to not get cornered by the dealers. Pay attention especially to the roof, for any dealer trying to flank the player from there. A very easy method to get into the coke room is to walk all the way behind the hospital and find a ladder that allows Niko to get closer to the room where he could oppose minimal resistance.

After getting the coke, Niko will phone Jacob and the NOOSE will arrive and storm the hospital.

The player now have to escape the hospital and evade the police, just go back all the way to the front of the hospital while killing any cop on the path. If the player arrived from the back, the remaining thugs will be also facing the police, therefore, making a little bit easier for the player to escape.

Once outside the place, the best way to escape the police is by using the Jetmax docked on the pier north of the hospital, just go right as soon as Niko exit the hospital and there will be a ladder that leads to the pier. After Niko evades the police, he will call Jacob, who tells him to meet him and an unknown person in Chase Point on South Bohan, near the Chase Point Warehouse.

When Niko gets there, Jacob is alone and Niko berates him, but Michelle shows up. She claims she is an undercover agent working for a government organization, and that she was appointed to spy on Niko. She takes the coke and leaves. Jacob also leaves saying he has to tell Elizabeta she won't get her coke, the cutscene ends and the mission is complete.

Trivia

After this mission, Mallorie will call Niko, and tell him that she heard that Michelle was some kind of fed.
Usually, the ending cutscene for this mission can be seen at night, especially when it is raining with thunderstorms as it is quite rare to see this cutscene during the morning, afternoon or even at dusk.
The mission's name is a reference to the cocaine that must be retrieved in the mission, as a slang term for coke is snow.

-:The old hospital building is filled with Angels of Death and the [[Spanish Lords]] dealing with each other. The product is located in a room on the far side of the hospital, and you are required to eliminate all gang members in the building to get to it.
+The player now have to escape the hospital and evade the police, just go back all the way to the front of the hospital while killing any cop on the path. If the player arrived from the back, the remaining thugs will be also facing the police, therefore, making a little bit easier for the player to escape.

-:You can simply break in the building by shoots the bikers one by one. Shotgun works fine for the mid to close range combat, even other weapons no big different.
+When Niko gets there, Jacob is alone and Niko berates him, but [[Karen Daniels|Michelle]] shows up. She claims she is an undercover agent working for a [[International Affairs Agency|government organization]], and that she was appointed to spy on Niko. She takes the coke and leaves. Jacob also leaves saying he has to tell Elizabeta she won't get her coke, the cutscene ends and the mission is complete.
-:A quicker and easier method is to go around to the back of the old hospital where you can find a ladder. From there you can reach the second story of the hospital and take out the gang members below you much more easily. [[Barbeque Tank|Gas bottles]] are located around each room which you can shoot to take out the guards quicker. Also from the back entrance you will find yourself closer to where the coke is located and can avoid the gang members from the front of the building.
-:There's 2 health packs and an [[Assault Rifle|assault rifle]] in the building.
-===Second part of battle: Police===
-:Once you pick up the [[Backpacks|bag]] of coke on the table, Niko will ring up Jacob to inform him of the situation. While doing so, [[NOOSE]] arrives and raids the building. To escape you must shoot your way to front of the building, grab a vehicle in the car park to make a getaway in.
-:An easier way to shoot your way out, is forward to the exit quickly and keep shooting the first wave while they still stuck at the doorway.
-:If you entered the hospital through the back entrance and avoided the guards at the front the NOOSE will have to attack them before they can get to you, making it slightly easier for you.
-After you lose your wanted level, Niko calls Jacob and Jacob says he's in [[Chase Point]] with someone, and you have to meet Little Jacob in an alley in Chase Point. When you meet up with Jacob, [[Michelle (GTA IV)|Michelle]] is there. She reveals her identity as a [[Karen|government agent]] sent to watch Niko. She confiscates the coke from you and tells you that the [[United Liberty Paper|agency]] she is working for needs Niko to do some jobs for them. Niko gets frustrated and Jacob tells Niko that Elizabeta won't be happy about this.
-Completion of this mission unlocks the combat shotgun in the gun store and unlocks missions for [[United Liberty Paper]] (if you have completed the mission, "[[Photo Shoot]]").

 ==Trivia==
-*This is the same coke batch that [[Johnny]] and [[Malc]] stole in the mission [[Heavy Toll]].
-*At the north side of the hospital there is a docked [[Jetmax]]. This can provide you with a much easier alternative for losing the cops.
 *After this mission, [[Mallorie Bardas|Mallorie]] will call Niko, and tell him that she heard that Michelle was some kind of fed.
 *Usually, the ending cutscene for this mission can be seen at night, especially when it is raining with thunderstorms as it is quite rare to see this cutscene during the morning, afternoon or even at dusk.
