Ilyena Faustin - Unique Encounter is a random character mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Russian mobster widow Ilyena Faustin from the Funland in Firefly Island, Broker, Liberty City.
This mission is made available anytime after completing The Puerto Rican Connection.
Mission[]
Niko randomly encounters Ilyena Faustin at the Funland Amusement Park. Niko apologizes for the recent death of her husband, Mikhail Faustin, with a visible guilt in his eyes, as he was the one behind his death after being tricked by Faustin's "best friend" Dimitri Rascalov to take over his business.
Ilyena is self-convinced that Faustin's death was for the best and the world is better without him. However, after Faustin died, Dimitri took his money and their residence has been repossessed, forcing Ilyena and her daughter Anna to move to a one room apartment.
Niko offers her some money, but she denies his offer. Ilyena reveals that her daughter is hanging out with another pimp in Broker, only identified as "Slimeball", who she thinks might turn her into a stripper or even worse. Niko agrees to help her and make the "Slimeball" go away. As Niko walks out, Ilyena begs Niko not to kill him, and simply teach him a lesson.
Arriving at Dillon Street in Schottler, Niko confronts the Slimeball, whom mistakes Niko for a Russian. He warns him to leave Anna Faustin alone and Slimeball starts a fight. At this point, there are three possible outcomes for the mission.
Persuade Slimeball[]
After beating up Slimeball, he will attempt to flee. If Niko catches him during his escape, Slimeball will agree to back off, concluding the mission. After a short while, Ilyena calls Niko and responds positively.
Killing Slimeball[]
Killing Slimeball will automatically complete the mission. After a short while, Ilyena calls Niko and responds negatively, now that another man in her daughter's life has met a violent death by the same person.
Letting Slimeball Escape[]
Letting Slimeball escape will automatically complete the mission. After a short while, Ilyena calls Niko and responds negatively, revealing that Anna has left her.
