Warning: Missable Missions in GTA 3
Generally, since some missions from different contacts become available at the same time, they can be played in a slightly different order.
However, GTA III has 10 missable missions that will become permanently inaccessible if you play them in the wrong order. If you miss these missions, you can still progress through the story, but you will be locked out of achieving 100% completion on the current save file.
If you want to achieve 100% completion and make sure you don't miss any of these missions, you must:
- Complete all the Joey's and Luigi's missions before playing "Last Requests" for Salvatore
- Complete all the Kenji Kasen missions before playing "Waka-Gashira Wipeout!" for Donald Love
- Complete "Two-Faced Tanner" before playing "Grand Theft Aero" for Donald Love
We listed the GTA 3 missions in the correct order below and marked the MISSABLE missions. It is strongly advised to make multiple save files that you can go back to in case you made a mistake and accidentally skipped a mission.

Pay Phone Missions (Optional)
In addition to the main missions, Claude can pick up optional missions given by various characters via certain Pay Phones across Liberty City.
The Pay Phone missions are not required for story progression, so they could be played at any time, even after the main GTA III storyline is completed.
However, if you want to achieve 100% completion, it is strongly advised to play these missions as soon as available on the respective island. The more you progress through the story, the more gangs will become increasingly hostile to you, which will make it a lot harder to complete these missions.
In particular, make sure to complete all Portland's phone missions before "Sayonara Salvatore", as after that mission Mafia will make your life really difficult in Portland.
