Pathos - Second Encounter is a random character mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by aspiring rapper Pathos from Burlesque in Star Junction, Algonquin, Liberty City.
This mission is made available anytime after completing his first encounter.
Mission[]
Niko randomly encounters Pathos busking near the statue on Burlesque in Star Junction, still struggling to make it big in the music scene. He also has a new CD, Pathos - From Suffering and Back Again.
Once again during their conversation, more hecklers walk by and aggravate the irate rapper to the point of violence. Pathos is shot by one of the two goons and once again, Niko lends a helping hand and shoots down the two hecklers.
After the hecklers are killed, Niko gives him a ride to the Easton Medical Center in Lancet. En route to the hospital, Pathos turns the terrible situation into something positive. He realises he was shot with the 'magic rapper bullet', the one that makes many artists an overnight success. Upon arriving at the hospital, Pathos promises to thank Niko on his next album, right after his mother and God.
