Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough

When you return to Ray's place on Denver Avenue in Algonquin, it will appear that he's in a bit of trouble. He's speaking on the phone to one of the diamond dealers, who's threatening his life. Ray doesn't take too kindly to threats, so as soon as Niko walks in (after he throws his cell phone at one of the waiters in the restaurant), he asks him to go to the north end of Algonquin, where he can eliminate the jeweler and his friends before they start talking to the wrong people about the lost diamonds, the lost cash, and what happened. Niko readily agrees to the offered mission, and walks off to get the ball rolling.

Once outside, boost a car. Your destination is the Majestic Hotel, which is located at the north end of Algonquin on Nickel Street, which borders the southern edge of Middle Park. The drive there should be a relatively simplistic one, so we're not too concerned with you getting there. Once you arrive, Niko will walk into the hotel automatically, and then the game prompts you to find a way to get upstairs, where some epic battling with the diamond dealer's thugs can begin. Doing so is easy enough -- simply take the elevator upward to proceed.

As long as you're not wielding a gun when you arrive on this floor, the guys waiting around the hallway won't attack you immediately. But as soon as you walk forward and/or draw a firearm, they're going to begin firing. You have to work quickly here, because you're caught in a tight corridor with no where to hide. Use what cover you can as you head forward (being sure to grab dropped weapons and ammunition as you head forward), and make quick work of the foes you encounter so that their more potent firearms don't rip you apart too badly. At the end of the hallway, bust through the door on your right, killing foes in between you and the door, and run up the stairs to the floor above.
