Grand Theft Auto V Walkthrough Bury the Hatchet

In the gripping mission “Bury the Hatchet” from Grand Theft Auto V, Michael and Trevor embark on a perilous journey to North Yankton, revisiting the site of their past. As they delve into the truth behind Michael’s fake grave, they find themselves entangled in a deadly confrontation with the Triads. Navigate through intense shootouts and high-stakes flights to uncover the secrets buried in Ludendorff, and master the mission with our comprehensive walkthrough guide.

Playable characters: Michael, Trevor

Additional information: The main highlight of this mission is that you can pay another visit to the town of Ludendorff in the North Yankton state, which was the site of the events played in the prologue. It is worth noting that you do not need to buy any equipment for this mission, because Michael will be stripped of all his belongings right after he enters North Yankton anyways. This, apart from pistol.

Note: After the mission ends, Michael will be unavailable for some time and, to make him available again, you will have to complete several main missions. So, if you still have some urgent business to perform as Michael (side missions, activities, etc.) it would be better to deal with all of it before you start this mission.

Mission 59 – Bury the Hatchet full walkthrough

The airport

Reach Michael’s estate and watch the cutscene of Trevor’s aggressive burst. Wait until you take control of Michael and leave the villa. Do not bother with the fact that Trevor stole Michael’s car, because you do not need to race with him. Leave the estate, wangle some means of transport and drive towards the airport located in the Southern part of Los Santos. Park the car in the marked area and go towards the stairs, which will take you to the entrance to the main terminal.

Ludendorff

The game will start a cutscene of your flight to the state of North Yankton. After you regain control over the protagonist, start driving along the road to the town of Ludendorff. Drive into the city and take the right turn at the main crossroads, to reach the local church.

The place where you meet Trevor again

Get out of the car, walk towards the cemetery adjacent to the church and take the entrance on the right. You need to reach Michael’s grace, currently being dug up by Trevor. Watch the cutscene here – Trevor and Michael’s meeting will be interrupted by bandits sent by Wei Cheng.

Keep hiding behind tombstones and walls

It has already been stated that, as a result of the plane flight, Michael was deprived of all his weapons, apart from the pistol. Hide behind any tombstone and start eliminating the incoming enemies. During the fights, it is of course a god idea to help yourself with time slowing, thanks to which you will be able to target the enemies’ heads eliminate them and faster.

It pays off to destroy the enemies’ cars

Keep pushing forward. You should not be in a hurry here, especially that the new enemies will be coming here by cars. It is a good idea to try blowing up their cars. You also should examine the corpses of all the enemies thanks to which, sooner or later, you will obtain an automatic weapon.

Michael’s car

Ultimately, you need to cut to the parking lot in front of the church. You can ignore the enemies across the tracks because, even if you kill them, this will not alter the mission’s results. The attempt to escape the city on Michael’s car will end up in a failure, and he will be apprehended by Cheng’s people.

The airfield

Soon, you will cut to Trevor, who is returning on his plane (Cuban 800) to the Blaine county. Answer the phone call from Cheng, reach the airfield in Sandy Shores and land, which will conclude this mission.
