All Story Missions Walkthrough
As the game starts, you’ll have to follow Naz as you both run away from the police that are chasing you. Once the introduction is over, you will then be able to start on the 30 missions that tell the story of Sleeping Dogs. All of the story missions are marked with a green shield on the map. If you reach a point where there's no green shield on your map, go to your apartment and go to sleep for the next one to appear.
Vendor Extortion
When the mission starts follow Jackie and listen to him go on about the old days and how there was a rat in the gang. Once you enter the building, a few waves of enemies will attack, showing you how to use your attacks and grapples. Once you take out all of the enemies, you will finally meet Winston and he will ask you to do a job for him. When you walk outside, Conroy and his pals will put you through a test and you’ll have to survive their hits for 30 seconds. Simply dodge and counter the attacks until the next scene plays. When you arrive at the Night Market, you will then need to visit a few vendors to get extortion money from them. First visit the electronics vendor, then the watch vendor where you will need to put a guy into the phone booth there. Next up is the produce vendor where you will have to fight a wave of enemies. After they are beat, go over to the butcher and you’ll have to fight the few enemies there to protect him. Once you are done, you will need to go to the clothing vendor to buy yourself some new duds and then head back to Winston’s.
Night Market Chase
Talk to Kwan about Ming’s whereabouts and then you will need to chase him through the market. The chase will stop a few times to take out groups of enemies and then will continue on again. Once you finally confront Ming on the rooftop, take out his goons and then focus on Ming. Give him a couple shots in the head to finish him off and complete the mission.
Stick up and Delivery
Drive to the south section of North Point and talk to Jackie. He will tell you that you need to drive the van to the warehouse carefully to pick up the goods. When you arrive at the waypoint, defeat the groups of enemies and then chase down the car that flees. Use the vehicle takedown manoeuvre of pressing X/Square to bash the cars and eventually catch up to the lead car. When you take it down, you will simply need to drive to the harbour on the east side of the city and claim your new fancy watch as your reward.
Mini Bus Racket
Drive over to the Golden Koi and talk to Winston. He will give you a minibus route that you will need to follow from waypoint to waypoint. Go to the first one and drop off a thug and continue to the next. Fight a group of enemies there and then make your way to the third stop. When you arrive, chase down the rival bus and stay close to it while honking to fill the harassment meter. Once it fills you will take its passengers and need to drop them off at the Night Market. As you proceed there, some enemies will show up. Take out their cars and then continue to the market while keeping the Passenger satisfaction meter filled. Once you reach the market, the mission will be complete.
Amanda
Choose the mission and then take a couple steps out of your apartment to find her just outside. Talk to her and you will then offer to give her a ride to the Temple Academy. Grab your bike and your first stop will be Club Bam Bam. When you stop there, you will offer some wisdom and then be on your way to the temple. When you arrive at the temple, you will have another little chat and then finally take her to the school. When you enter, you will have a chat with your former teacher, Sifu, and he will have you beat up some of his students in front of your new girlfriend. Once that is over, he will tell you about his lost collection of jade statues and it seems like a reasonable quest to go on throughout the course of the game. Once you leave, you will have Amanda’s number and the mission will end.
Club Bam Bam
Head to the Golden Koi to talk to Winston and he will tell you about Benny at the club. Make your way there and talk to the bouncer when you arrive.

When you enter, approach the karaoke machine and play the song by moving the arrow up and down to match the blue lines. Once you are finished, head up the stairs to find Benny. You will then get attacked by a bunch of goons. Take them out and then head back down stairs to fight another group. Once they are down, enter the washroom to fight another batch. Finally, when they are all down, have a chat with Benny and the mission will end.
Listening In
Go to Ping’s music store and grab the bag from Not Ping. When you step outside, you’ll have to chase down the thief who steals it. After the footrace, knock him senseless and then make your way to the Golden Koi restaurant and then you’ll need to do some climbing along the scaffolding to the right of it. Climb your way up and around and when you reach the skylight, a short scene will play. Open it and drop down and you will now have two and a half minutes to plant the bug and get out. Go to the vent in the corner and use the left stick to unscrew the screws. Place the bug and then use the left and right stick to calibrate the bug. Move them until the circles turn bright green and the bars at the top fill. Once you have done that, screw the screws back in and go to the door. Pick the lock by raising the pins with the right stick and moving from pin to pin with the left. When all pins are green, exit the restaurant and the mission will end.
Chain of Evidence
Make your way to Club Bam Bam and when you arrive Tiffany will tell you the trouble she’s in. It’s nothing much, so leave and give Raymond a call. Meet him under the bridge at the marker and you will have to follow the instructions given. Basically it’s just shoot this and that and use cover. At the end of it, you’ll need to evade the cops that arrive to finish the mission.
Payback
Go to Club Bam Bam to start the mission and have a chat with Winston. Once it is done, you will be back outside and ready to roll to the warehouse. Hop in the SUV and follow the lead car to the destination. Once there, enter the building and take out the few groups of enemies. Once you get in further, a pistol packing enemy will appear. Vault to take him out and take his gun. Clear the next few rooms of enemies and then head up the stairs to the office to find Siu Wah. When he runs, chase him through the warehouse until you catch up to him at the furnace. Grapple him and then sprint with him to get out of the building quicker. Run past the enemies that show up and just head for the entrance. When you get outside, another scene will play and you will then have to chase him on a police bike.

Drive to the impound lot and have a chat with Roland and listen to his words of wisdom. After he hands to a machine gun, you’ll need to go track down Patsy Wing. Follow the waypoint until you see her and her back up. Follow them and take out the enemy cars with ramming or by shooting the tires and/or driver. Once you catch up to Patsy, hijack the car. When she flees, drive back to the impound lot to complete the mission.
Bride to Be
Head over to the Golden Koi and speak to Winston’s mother. She will ask that you take Peggy--Winston’s bride--to make some last minute arrangements. Drive to the waypoint and you will arrive at the dress shop. Grab the jade tiger in here if you haven’t already and Peggy will talk about a black orchid. Next up, you’ll need to head to the cake shop but along the way Winston will text message that someone is stealing the cake. Seriously. STEALING THE CAKE. You’ll have three and a half minutes to reach the cake shop and when you do, you’ll need to chase down and hijack the van. Once you have it, drive the van to the bus depot and meet Peggy there. Once you are back in your car, you will then need to go to the temple to steal the black orchid. When you arrive at the temple, hop up the green scaffolding and enter the door at the top. Now you will be in robes and will need to approach the other monks and press Y/Triangle to persuade them. Continue through the temple area and atop the far stairs, you can enter a room with candles to find the jade dragon statue. Continue to the right of the area and follow the stairs around to find the orchids. Once you pick them, the monks will attack. Simply run past them if you want to and exit the temple by hoping over the wall. Once you return to the car, simply out run the police and the mission ends.
The Wedding
When you arrive at the mission marker, you will need to enter Aspirazone to pick up your tux. Once you are all dapper-looking, drive to the banquet hall and watch the scene. Once it is over, hop up the green scaffolding to the right of the church entrance and enter the open window. Take out the first group of thugs and then go down the stairs. Take out the next group and enter the large door. Grab a gun from the closest enemy and then clear out the rest of the remaining enemies. After the next scene, there will be a few more enemies that enter, so take them out and grab their machine guns. Next you will need to clear out the balcony and then the ground floor, and finally the kitchen will have a hostage in it. Kill all these-minus the hostage- and go through the main door to find Uncle Po. When you find him, you will need ot run with him across the park to get to the hospital.

Once you see he is by the docks, go there and you will need to fight through a few groups of enemies. Once the fist fighting is done, you will then get into a shootout with a few more groups of enemies. Finally, when you reach Johnny, he will take off in his car, leaving you to chase him on a motorcycle. There will be a couple of enemy cars that will try to take you out, but just ignore them and focus on hijacking Johnny’s car. Once you do, drive him back to the Golden Koi to end the mission.
Meet the New Boss
Head to Club Bam Bam and a short scene will play with a messenger. Once he leaves, a shootout will start in the club. Fight your way through, taking out the enemies on the top floor and then the lower bar area. Once it is clear, roll out the front entrance and kill the few enemies that are gathered out there. Once they go down, a few cars will show up with some more enemies. To clear them out fast, blow up the cars before the enemies have a chance to get out. Next up, you will need to shoot the approaching cars while Jackie drives after Ponytail. Aim for the tires to take out the swarm of cars and bikes the quickest and eventually you will be on a footrace with ponytail. After some parkour, you will get to throw down with him. Simply fight him like any other enemy and when he goes down, another scene will play and you’ll have to run from the cops this time. Head through the red doorway and through the hall to come to a limo. Hop in it and you will meet Broken Nose Jaing. Once the scene with her is done, the mission will be over.
Loose Ends
After the intro scene with Jackie, drive his bike over to Top Glamour Imports. Once there, talk to Naz and then chase after him. Hop over the fence by using the ramp when you reach it and then shoot the giant red tank that you are instructed to. When it blows up, you will have Naz in your grasp. Walk to the closest car and toss him in the trunk and then get the heck out of dodge. Drive tot eh street and then you will need to lose the 18K following you.

Through here you will have to fight a few groups on enemies, but nothing too tough. Finally when you reach the processing room, you will have to square off against Dogeyes himself. Take him down and once he is beaten, drag him out to the parking lot. Put him in the trunk of Duke’s car and make your way back to the Golden Koi. Along the way, a ton of 18K enemies will show up on bikes and in cars. Pop all the tires you can and when you finally make it to the restaurant, a rather disturbing scene will play.

Once you are looking prim and proper, go to the Hong Kong cemetery. Once you arrive, a scene will play with the 18K and Pendrew. Once the scene is over, there will be a large fire fight as you make your way to the bottom of the cemetery.

Once all the triads that show up at both ends of the alley are down, you’ll need to head to the roof and meet Conroy and get the grenade launcher. Once you have it, use it to clear out the Triads on the ground and hold on for a minute and twenty seconds to save your allies. If you run out of grenades, there is a yellow case beside you that will refill them. Once you have survived long enough, you will then need to lose the cops that are chasing you.

The Election
After you go to sleep, wake up and Jackie will ask to meet you. Drive to the waypoint and watch the gruesome scene. Next up, watch another particular gruesome scene and then wiggle the left stick to escape. Once up, go through the door and take out the guard. Enter the next room and stuff the guards face in the toilet. Once that excitement is over, continue on escaping. After hopping over some scaffolding and railings, it’ll be one large fight after another. After the initial groups are down, a gun toting enemy will come outside. Vault over him to take him down and then enter the next door. Inside there will be many Triads with guns, so use cover as usual and fight your way through, this area and the next with the swimming pools. Once through there, you will enter a sauna with two enforcers. Defeat them and then finally Mr. Tong will show up with a big knife. Take him down with some well-placed shots to the face and a counter to finish him off to end the mission.
Big Smile Lee
Drive to Kennedy Pier and go through the gate to enter the parking lot full of Lee’s thugs. Hop in a car there and run them all down to make things easier. Once they are all dead, hop up on the dumpster and cross the rooftop. Sneak up on the guard you come across and take his weapon. Now continue forward and hop down as the alarm sounds and more enemies rush out. Clear them out and head up the stairs at the far end.
