- "There are two sides to biology, boy. Life... and death."
Weed Killer is a non-storyline mission first made available in Chapter 2.
The Mission[]
Intro[]
Jimmy arrives in Dr. Slawter's classroom, having been summoned there. Dr. Slawter shows Jimmy a massive Venus flytrap called a Crapula Maxima Fortissima, and explains that Derby Harrington's father bought one for Derby just to prove he's richer.
The plant is kept in the Preppies' exclusive building at the school, Harrington House, in the upstairs greenhouse. Dr. Slawter requests that Jimmy kill the plant, specifying that he means the plant and not Derby himself.
Walkthrough[]
Jimmy has to disguise himself as a Preppy. Besides wearing an Aquaberry vest or sweater, he needs a good haircut. Any of the haircuts from Maria Theresa's salon in Old Bullworth Vale will do the job, as will a few of the more expensive ones from Mr. Moratti's barbershop in Bullworth Town.
Disguised as a Preppy, Jimmy is granted entrance to Harrington House by Bif Taylor, who is acting as the doorman. He walks up inside the large building, overhearing Gord telling Parker that he's going to be helping his father on a murder trial case over the summer. Tad and Justin are talking on the second floor, and Chad and Bryce are standing by the greenhouse on the top floor. Jimmy has the option of beating them up as he goes.
Once inside the greenhouse, Jimmy must take a poison gun, just beside the Crapula Maxima, after which he has to blast the plant with the gun. This phase works like a boss fight, with the plant having its own life bar, but it doesn't fight back.
Once the plant is dead, Jimmy has to fight his way out of Harrington House. The poison gun works the same way a fire extinguisher does; Jimmy can stun the Preppies with a blast or club them with the gun itself. On the second floor, the door will be closed, but Jimmy can destroy it by punching it. Inside the house, there are the frat paddles and plaques on the wall that Jimmy can use as weapons to fend off the Preppies. Bif is waiting on the first floor and, as usual, puts up a very tough fight if Jimmy chooses to fight him.
Once Jimmy makes it out the front door, the mission ends.
Trivia[]
- Crapula maxima is not a real plant. The name is a spoof on Latin scientific names, and translates roughly to 'giant piece of crap'. Its appearance is based off the Venus flytrap, scientific name Dionaea muscipula, but real-life Venus flytraps are much smaller than the Crapula maxima.
- In the PS2 version of the game, if this mission were done during Chapter 6, the player would permanently lose access to Harrington House.
- Unused audio files suggest a segment of the mission in which Jimmy would have to get the password for Harrington House from Tad by bullying him in the bathroom.
- The plant does not have to be killed with the poison gun. Other projectiles and weapons, such as the firecrackers, work as well.
