*Heritage Festival lacks festivity*— Ultor Times newspaper headline

## Overview

After Kazuo Akuji's narrow escape at the end of the previous mission, Playa has assigned Johnny Gat to guard Mr. Wong and his translator, which annoys them a little. Sure enough, as the three walk down along the Stilwater Boardwalk during the Chinese Heritage Festival, The Ronin launch one final desperate attack. During the assault, Gat is separated from the other two. As Kazuo and Mr. Wong begin to duel, Mr. Wong's translator calls Playa, who is at Technically Legal, and informs them on what has happened.

Playa takes a Shark and arrives at the festival. After killing all of The Ronin ransacking the festival, Playa then crosses the junk boats, searching for Mr. Wong and Kazuo Akuji. They arrive just in time to see Kazuo defeat Mr. Wong and push him down some stairs aboard a junk, and then Playa enters a duel with Kazuo, reminiscent of Playa's duel with Jyunichi, although Kazuo uses only one sword. Kazuo seemingly defeats Playa as well, but the latter pulls out a concealed VICE 9 and shoots Kazuo in the chest. Defeated, Kazuo asks them to finish it. After Playa gloats over their victory and forces Kazuo to scream down the phone to Mr. Wong, they then jump from the boat as it explodes, leaving Kazuo to burn to death.

### Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

A Chinese heritage festival turned into a massacre as members of a street gang known as the Ronin laid siege to the unsuspecting festival goers. While it appeared that no one would be able to stop the wanton violence, salvation to the people of Stilwater was brought in the unlikely form of the 3rd Street Saints. As fire from burning kiosks and junks lit the sky, the Ronin were forced back as the leader of the Saints drove off the murderous Ronin.
## Gameplay

Get to the **dock** before the Ronin destroy the Heritage Festival
Outside of the Technically Legal strip club, follow the route on the map and head north down to the nearby dock.

Get on the **watercraft**
Get on the Shark watercraft and head east towards the festival.

After completing this objective, any vehicle can be used.

Get to the **Heritage Festival** before the Ronin destroy it
Along the way, a Thompson flies ahead of Playa and drops explosive barrels while strafing left and right. If hit, the Shark may flip over, and eventually explodes if hit too many times. Furthermore, there is little point in attacking the Thompson as it is soon replaced by another one when destroyed. Try driving slightly from side to side in a pattern or staying close to a shoreline to avoid most of the barrels - don't worry about getting indirectly hit a few times. After getting on the Shark, one can immediately disembark once the objective marker changes to the festival and use a car or helicopter for transport instead.

Kill the **Ronin**
Once at the festival, there are twenty marked Ronin lieutenants spread throughout the Stilwater Boardwalk.

Get on the **junk boats** and save **Wong**
After killing all of The Ronin on the shore, board the festival junk boats and get to the last boat before Mr. Wong dies.

There are several ways to get through the boats, however Mr. Wong's health is constantly lowering.

The fastest route is: head into the first junk boat; turn left and back outside the boat; head up the stairs; go through the interior of this floor and out the other side (don't go up the stairs); turn left and go along the walkway to the second junk boat; travel along the edge of the back of the boat here (along the thin green ledge) and fall onto the next walkway; enter the final junk boat; go to the left once inside and go up the stairs on the outside; and finally go up the stairs on the right on the second floor, which are highlighted with a blue marker.

Kill **Kazuo Akuji**

The final battle with Kazuo Akuji uses Samurai Swords, much like with Jyunichi in "Kanto Connection". The same rules apply here - simply counter his attacks, and, if possible, attack him before he gets up - unlike the fight with Jyunichi, there are no other enemies present.

Kazuo can be lured towards the fire downstairs as set ablaze, which causes major damage to him.

Despite Kazuo being seemingly defeated, the final cutscene initially portrays otherwise, but as Playa pulls a gun on him and the rest of the cutscene plays out, the mission ends, as do The Ronin.

## Newscast

**Jane Valderamma**: "*The Chinese Heritage Festival...a time for fun, egg drop soup and tonight...murder. It was here that the notorious street gang known as "The Ronin" terrorized the festival presumidly looking for tea house entrepaneur, Mr. Wong. As fires burned junk and Tai chi practicioner alike, the festival goers were rescued by an unlikely savior...the Third Street Saints. I'm Jane Valderamma, channel 6 news.*"

## Trivia

* The title of this mission both refers to the idiom "one man's junk is another man's treasure" (although usually referred to as "one man's trash") and a junk ship; a sailing vessel of Chinese origin.
* Occasionally, the music that plays on the boats is the same music that can be heard during the fight with Jyunichi in Kanto during the mission "Kanto Connection".
* It is possible to spawn another weapon via cheats. Any weapon, even a Sledgehammer, can easily beat Kazuo.
* The cutscene "Coup de Gras" is supposed to be "Coup de grâce", which is French for "Finishing Stroke" because that is how Playa backstabs Kazuo Akuji; by using the sword right through his chest.
* The barrels used by Ronin Thompsons use Satchel Charges statistics, explosion sound and ability to stick to an obstacle.
* In the cutscene "Big Problems in Little China", the doors of Ronin Hayate Z70 open outward, as on a regular vehicle, despite the fact that the Hayate Z70 normally has scissor doors.
