For the mission in Grand Theft Auto IV, see Lure.
“The Da Nang Boys are watching this apartment. As soon as we leave they will attempt an assassination.”
— Su Xi Mu
Lure is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by the Mountain Cloud Boys Triad boss Wu Zi Mu from his apartment in Chinatown, San Fierro, San Andreas.
Mission[]
Ran Fa Li has gone to Woozie's apartment in Chinatown, but now the Da Nang Boys are after him and he can't get back home. The Triads are planning a way to lure the Da Nang Boys out. Carl, meanwhile, offers himself to be a decoy to lure the Da Nang Boys so that Ran Fa Li can get out of Chinatown safely.
Carl gets in a Rancher parked outside the apartment. He drives to the sawmill in Angel Pine. Upon arriving there, he sees a couple of Da Nang Boys. The gangsters chase Carl, thinking the vehicle contains Ran Fa Li. Carl traverses the heavily forested areas of Flint County and Whetstone. After a long ride, Carl stops at a gas station along the highway. Guppy calls and tells him that Woozie has taken Ran Fa Li into safety. The Da Nang Boys realize that the car is a decoy, and return to Chinatown.
Mission Objectives[]
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get into the decoy car.
- Drive out to the countryside.

Walkthrough[]
Woozie suggests dealing with the Da Nang Boys by luring them all to Triad territory, then killing all of them.
Su Xi Mu, Ran Fa Li's translator, says that they can't leave the apartment because it's being watched by the Da Nang Boys.
Su Xi Mu says that he fears for an assassination attempt by the Da Nang.
Carl, who arrived just in time to overhear the conversation, suggests simply luring the Da Nang Boys that are watching the apartment to a quiet location and killing them.
Ran Fa Li nods in approval.
Carl suggests that he drives off with an empty car. He says that the Da Nang Boys are likely to follow him anywhere as long as they think that the car Carl will be driving is carrying Ran Fa Li.
Carl says that Ran Fa Li and Su Xi Mu should have enough time to escape the apartment while he fools the Da Nang Boys.

Trivia[]
- There is another Rancher variant which was intended for the mission; however, a regular Rancher is used instead. The only difference from this version is darkened windows, which obscure the vehicle's occupants, and it cannot enter TransFender garages or be exported.
- If the player is far enough from the bikers when the last checkpoint is reached, the cutscene where the bikers discover the Rancher to be a decoy may not play.
- The decoy car is fire-proof, explosion-proof, damage-proof and melee-proof. In order to be able to obtain it, the mission must be failed in a specific way. After reaching the sawmill in Angel Pine, instead of following the checkpoints, the player should drive down to the beach south of Angel Pine. They should drive the Rancher deep enough into the water so that the mission fails. Afterwards, the Rancher should just be pushed out of the water with the player's body, after which it can be safely stored in a garage. Do note that not driving the Rancher deep enough into the water will lead to the loss of the special properties.
