Be Your Own Boss Walkthrough

Objectives:
1	Wallow in Your Own Failure When you regain control of your character, you'll first find him in bed moping around. Complete several tasks in order to proceed to the next objective, such as getting out of bed, searching the fridge for foor, and toasting a waffle.
2	Get to the Idols Party After the cutscene, take the truck outside and drive your way to the Idols party. Once you reach the bridge connecting to the building where the party is, just ram straight through the Los Panteros blockades.
3	Defeat the Collective Member Hop off the car and enter the building. You'll have to fight through several waves of enemies before a cutscene is triggered with Kevin and Eli – a person called the Collective Member will appear. Kill him, and afterwards, try and make your way outside again to the truck.
4	Protect Your Friends At the site of the truck, simply defeat waves of enemies until the truck is restarted, then get in.
5	Defend the Truck A short chase will ensue, which sees you on the roof of the truck firing RPGs against chasing enemies. Simply keep doing this until the truck reaches its destination – do not allow the truck or yourself to take on too much damage from the enemies in order to not fail the mission.

Tips and Strategies

Use Pineapple Express

During the fight sequences, particularly at the Idols' party, you can often get ganked by groups of enemies that both melee you and hit you from a distance with their guns.

Get around this by using the Pineapple Express Skill to jam a grenade where they can't reach it, right before they explode while beside their unknowing friends.

Aim Ahead of Targets

During the last sequence of this mission, where you'll be on top of the truck as you make your escape, aim ahead of your targets when firing the RPG.

Due to the speeds you'll be moving across the streets, it'll be easy for the rockets to end up behind your target, and thus missing. Rectify this by aiming ahead for timely hits.
