The Lost and Damned is the first GTA 4 episode (2009), starring Johnny Klebitz, vice president of The Lost MC. All 22 missions, how convoy riding and biker toughness work, the new weapons, 50 seagulls, what 100% requires and how the story crosses over with Niko's.
What The Lost and Damned is
This is the first of two GTA 4 episodes that Rockstar later bundled as Episodes from Liberty City. Same map - Liberty City and Alderney - and the same 2008 as Niko Bellic's story. What changes is the hero, the tone and the rules.

Club president Billy Grey comes back from rehab and wrecks the truce with the Angels of Death that Johnny kept while he was away. What follows is a gang war, heroin deals and a split inside the club. You can't change Johnny's clothes: he wears the club vest with its patch the whole game.
Biker mechanics: convoys, brothers and Gang Wars
Convoy riding
In many missions Johnny rides in formation with other club members. Every so often The Lost logo appears on the road: keep your bike inside it for a few seconds and Johnny's health and the bike's condition are restored (according to GTA Wiki, at full health the game hands out armor instead). While the convoy rolls, the bikers talk, and part of the story is told that way. After Billy's arrest, Johnny leads the pack himself.
Brothers who level up
In Gang Wars and some missions, rank-and-file members ride with Johnny. Survivors gain experience (toughness): they shoot better and get stronger guns. A fallen biker is replaced by a new one whose experience starts from zero.
Terry and Clay
These two are Johnny's friends, and their abilities are available from the first mission: Terry pulls up in a van and sells weapons and armor, Clay delivers the bike of your choice. Later you can call both of them in as backup during missions.
Gang Wars and races
Both side activities only start when you are on a bike. In Gang Wars the club hits a rival gang: its hideout, cars on the move or an escort you must destroy. Every tenth win adds a weapon to your safehouse:
| Gang Wars | Safehouse reward |
|---|---|
| 10 | Sawn-off Shotgun |
| 20 | Automatic 9mm |
| 30 | Carbine Rifle |
| 40 | Assault Shotgun (only after the mission Heavy Toll) |
| 50 | Grenade Launcher |
Gang Wars don't end after 50 - they stay a steady source of money. In the 12 bike races, rivals swing baseball bats and knock each other off their bikes.
All 22 The Lost and Damned missions in order
Numbering and mission givers follow GTABase. Missions from Billy, Jim, Stubbs, Elizabeta, Ashley and Ray unlock in waves, so some can be played in a different order.

| 1 | Clean and Serene | Billy Grey |
| 2 | Angels in America | Billy Grey |
| 3 | It's War | Billy Grey |
| 4 | Action/Reaction | Billy Grey |

| 6 | Bad Cop Drop | Jim Fitzgerald |
| 7 | Buyer's Market | Elizabeta Torres |
| 8 | Politics | Thomas Stubbs |
| 9 | Coming Down | Ashley Butler |

| 19 | Diamonds in the Rough | Ray Boccino |
| 20 | Collector's Item | Ray Boccino |
| 21 | Was It Worth It? | Ray Boccino |
| 22 | Get Lost | Thomas Stubbs |
Key moments: in This Shit's Cursed Billy is arrested and Johnny becomes club president, and in Get Lost Johnny leads his brothers in an assault on the Alderney prison to get to Billy. The base game missions are on the GTA 4 missions page.
New weapons and bikes
The episode adds six weapons: the Sawn-off Shotgun, Automatic 9mm, Assault Shotgun, Pool Cue, Grenade Launcher and the homemade Pipe Bomb. Regular gun shops don't stock them - you get them only from Terry's van or as rewards for Gang Wars and missions. All the other GTA 4 weapons are available too.
Bike handling was reworked: Johnny no longer flies off the seat after a minor bump. There are 16 new bikes, including the Hexer and Revenant choppers and the Bati 800 and Hakuchou sport bikes, while the Innovation is the reward for all the seagulls. The full list of new vehicles is on the GTA 4 vehicles page, and the episode's six phone codes for bikes, the Slamvan and the Gang Burrito are in GTA 4 cheats.
100% in The Lost and Damned: checklist
The episode tracks completion separately from the main game. For 100% you need:
- all 22 story missions;
- 25 Gang Wars;
- all 12 bike races;
- 10 bike thefts for Angus (Angus' Bike Thefts);
- 5 jobs for Congressman Stubbs (Stubbs' Dirty Laundry);
- 50 seagulls;
- meetings with two random characters - Malc and Dave Grossman;
- one win each at arm wrestling, pool, darts and air hockey;
- every friend activity with Terry and Clay: air hockey, darts, drinking, eating, pool, a show and the strip club.
Seagulls replace the main game's pigeons: 50 of them across Liberty City and Alderney, given away by their cry and a reddish glow. Shoot them all and an Innovation bike appears at your safehouse; Clay can then deliver it too. GTA 4 pigeons don't count toward the episode - their map is on the GTA 4 pigeons page, and Niko's checklist is on GTA 4 100% completion.
You don't need Jim Fitzgerald for 100%: he dies near the end of the story, so only Terry and Clay count.
How The Lost and Damned connects to the GTA 4 story
The three stories run in parallel, and the game shows some events from different sides.
| Event | The Lost and Damned | GTA 4 | The Ballad of Gay Tony |
|---|---|---|---|
| The death of biker Jason Michaels, which Billy blames on the Angels of Death | start of the war (It's War, Action/Reaction) | No Love Lost - Niko kills Jason | - |
| A heroin deal that turns out to be a police sting | Buyer's Market | Blow Your Cover | - |
| Kidnapping Roman Bellic for Dimitri | Roman's Holiday | Hostile Negotiation - Niko rescues his cousin | - |
| Diamond theft at the docks | Diamonds in the Rough | Taking in the Trash - Niko picks up the stash | Frosting on the Cake |
| The diamond exchange at the museum | Collector's Item | Museum Piece | Not So Fast |
Museum Piece brings all three heroes together: Niko and Johnny on one side, Luis on the other side of the ambush. Billy, Ashley, Terry and Clay are covered briefly on the GTA 4 characters page. The diamond storyline continues in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
