Ambrosia: Sugar, Bikers & Lake Leonida

The battle for the health and wealth of Leonida begins here. Ambrosia sits in the middle of the state on the edge of Lake Leonida, where American industry and old-school values still reign supreme — whatever the cost. Its motto is Keeping Leonida sweet, and the town runs on sugar.

Sugar and power

• Allied Crystal Sugar Refinery — the biggest employer, belching smoke over the town.
• Sugarcane fields in every direction. Rockstar has shown fields being burned before harvest — a real Florida practice that fills the air with ash.
• Final Chapter MC — the refinery provides the jobs, while the local biker gang provides almost everything else.
• Local politics — yard signs for mayoral candidate Aaron Henshaw line the roads, and the sugar industry spends heavily on lobbying.

The likely dynamic: the company runs things in the open, and the bikers handle what the company can't be seen doing.

Around town

• Main street with a Cuban food spot (W. Blanco's), a kids' dentist and a car wash.
• The Thirsty Wolf — biker bar, and the scene of Jason's escape from the Final Chapter in Trailer 2.
• Ambrosia Police Department — a local force with its own liveries.

Off-road country

Ambrosia is Leonida's mud capital: the muddy truck party from Trailer 1 happens here. The Ultimate Edition's One-Eyed Willie's on Lake Leonida specialises in off-road mods and hand-painted art.

Lake Leonida

Based on Lake Okeechobee, the giant lake beside town is ideal for fishing and boating — and for gators.

Tips

• Stay on the right side of the Final Chapter until the story makes it clear who you're working with.
• Bring something with ground clearance; much of the area is unpaved.
