Spy Cameras appear on mini-map
You will meet Not Ping during the “Listening In” mission. After the “A Big Betrayal” mission, she will call you and take you to an area to hack a camera. Hack the camera to complete the mission and have Spy Cameras appear on the mini-map.
Easy hacking
Start the hack with 9, 8, 7, 6. Then, move any yellow numbers to a new slot, and replace the red numbers with 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Keep repeating this until you have completed the hack.
Easy money
Once you are able to bet in cockfights, go to the arena on the far left of the map. Most of the cockfight arenas have a betting cap, but the one on the far left does not. Save the game immediately before talking to the NPC at the front of the arena. Then, place a bet for the maximum amount of money you have available. If you do not win, simply load your saved game and try again. Repeat this as many times as desired.

Jade Statue locations
Search the indicated locations to find all 11 Jade Statues. Jade Statues unlock melee combos, which are important in brawls and street fights as the game progresses. Jade Statues are tricky to find, and most are in areas that are locked when you start the game. Thus, before you can find most statues, you will first need to unlock that area by progressing through the game. Once you have found a Jade Statue, return to your former martial arts teacher, located in the North Point. As a reward for returning this statue to him, you can choose one of the combos available in the “Melee” training menu and learn it by attending the class. To learn the combo technique completely, you will be required to perform the combo three times, and then you must defeat a set number of opponents, with or without using that combo. When the lesson ends, you will have access to the new combo technique in your list of techniques.
Jade Statue #1: It is on the boat where you observe the drug deal between the popstar and supplier.
Jade Statue #2: It is on the second floor of Club Bam Bam. The statue is on the bar counter near the manager’s office. You will not be able access the area until Winston asks you to make an example out of the club’s manager.
Jade Statue #3: During the cutscene where Wei is blamed of being a rat working for HKPD (Water Street Gang’s Accusations), you will be able to see a statue on one of the kitchen counters. You can also come back to this territory later in the game to pick it up.
Jade Statue #4: The “Bride To Be” mission will direct you to the temple that has this statue. However, if you have completed “Tiffany’s Song”, you can get in the temple where the statue is placed on the central altar.
Jade Statue #5: It is in the waiting area of the central hospital. You can go in there and grab the statue at any time since the hospital is always open.
Jade Statue #6: It is in a Bridal Shop. It is the same shop where you drove Peggy to in the “Bride To Be” mission.
Jade Statue #7: At the K-bar in Soho, you can find the statue on one of the bars inside.
Jade Statue #8: Go to the main hall leading into the greater cemetery near the Kennedy Town. It is on one of the seats in the viewing area entrance point.
Jade Statue #9: You can get this statue after you reach the gambling den on the northern coast of Central. The statue is inside the den, but you will not be able to access it until you complete the “Riffraff Disposal” mission for the doorman. This mission will not be accessible until you have completed the “Bride To Be” main story mission.
Jade Statue #10: This statue is impossible to miss, as you will have it while completing the “Bad Luck” main story mission in Act 3. Look for the statue in a display case in Chin Tsao’s Mansion.
Jade Statue #11: It is in Vivienne Wu’s apartment. The statue is on a table inside the dining room.

Easy “A Slap In The Face” trophy
Early in the game, you will reach the “Club Bam Bam” mission. Inside the club, you will fight several goons in a room lit with aquariums. Grapple one of the enemies, and drag them to an aquarium to initiate an environment kill with the aquarium. Once the aquarium is smashed, a fish will drop out. Pick up the fish using R1, and use a heavy attack to instantly kill an enemy with it and get the “A Slap In The Face” trophy. Note: If you happen to miss with the fish, you will need to grab another fish; there are two aquariums in this first area.
Easy “Infowlable” trophy
Once you are able to bet in cockfights, go to the arena on the far left of the map. Most of the cockfight arenas have a betting cap, but the one on the far left does not. Save the game immediately before talking to the NPC at the front of the arena. Then, place a bet for $50,000. If you do not win, simply load your saved game and try again. Repeat this as many times as desired. Once you win, you will get the “Infowlable” trophy.
Easy “Sharpshooter” trophy
When you have a gun and car, start driving, and initiate a police chase (try crashing into a cop’s car). Once the chase begins, wait for a good time to lean out and fire. Then, press L1 to lean out the side of your car and aim your gun. This will make time slow down, giving you more time to line up your shots. Shoot the tires to get the “Sharpshooter” trophy. Note: Making quick turns or circling around a cop’s car will expose their tires better and give you a more clear shot.
While on foot, start a fight with a cop on the street. Knock him out using some attacks, and pick up the gun he drops. Once cops start arriving, grab some cover, and quickly shoot out the tires on one of the oncoming cop cars to get the “Sharpshooter” trophy. If this is not done quickly, the cops will kill you before you can shoot out their tires. Note: You must shoot the cop car’s tires while it is driving; it does not count towards the trophy if the car is parked.
