LA Noire Reefer Madness Walkthrough Mission Steps And Objectives
The Reefer Madness DLC case in L.A. Noire presents Detective Cole Phelps with an intricate narcotics investigation centered around a city-wide marijuana smuggling operation. Working on the Vice Desk, players must navigate heavy firefights, examine crucial clues, and interrogate key suspects to dismantle the ring. Understanding the exact mission steps and objectives ensures you complete the case efficiently while achieving a high rating.
Initial Objectives and the Cruz Residence Investigation
Your investigation begins with a briefing at the station before heading out to interview informant Freddie Calhoun. Shortly after, Detective Phelps and Roy Earle travel to the Cruz residence, where an immediate shootout takes place with armed suspects.
Once the threat is eliminated, you must thoroughly search the house for essential physical evidence. Important items include hidden silver dollars in the bedroom, a soup advertisement newspaper, and a large stash of contraband hidden inside a secret compartment.
Uncovering the Connection at Parnell's Soup Factory
Following the clues from the crime scene leads Detective Phelps to the Parnell's Soup Company factory. Speak with owner Howard Parnell upstairs to inspect the employee roster and highlight Jorge Garcia Cruz.
Afterward, follow Parnell through the facility to inspect a delivery ledger and speak with factory worker Sergio Rojas. Examining the unique silver dollar given during this interaction reveals key details needed for subsequent interrogations.
Chasing Leads at 20th Century Market
Driving to the 20th Century Market triggers a foot pursuit after a suspicious grocery clerk attempts to flee the scene. Subduing clerk Airto Sanchez allows you to search his belongings for another marked coin and additional narcotics evidence.
Interrogating Sanchez with the correct responses unlocks critical context regarding the soup shipments and the overall supply chain. With these details secured, you are instructed to return for a tactical raid on the distribution hub.
Final Raid and the Masangkay Metals Solution
Returning to Parnell's Soup Factory leads into a major shootout alongside responding officers against heavily armed goons. After clearing the factory interior, inspect the remaining evidence before heading to the final location at Masangkay Metals.
At Masangkay Metals, eliminate the lingering gunmen and approach the table inside to solve the silver dollar puzzle. Arranging the coins to spell out the business name unlocks key records, effectively closing the case with all objectives completed.
