/==========================================================================\
| Please read all four notes before continuing with the rest of this guide |
\==========================================================================/
Note 1:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345678901234567890123456
The 79 characters above should all fit on a single line. If they do not,
you may have trouble reading this guide, as line breaks and spacing might look
unusual. Make sure that you are viewing this document using a fixed-width font,
ideally Courier New, size 10.
Note 2:
Regardless of where you are viewing this guide, please visit:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/371671/37141
This website has the most current and up-to-date version of my guide that is
available. By always using this site, you can stay constant with any changes
made to this guide (as some secondary hosts don't update very frequently). This
will also help us be on the same page if you don't understand something I've
written.
Note 3:
Mafia was originally created for the PC. Shortly thereafter, console
versions were made for the Xbox and PlayStation 2. While the main substance of
the game was almost completely unchanged, certain details were modified, added,
or deleted. As a result, you should be able to read this guide and use its
information to help you with Mafia, regardless of what system you're using.
However, there may be certain minor discrepancies between this guide and your
game if you are playing on the Xbox or PlayStation 2.
If you are playing Mafia on either of these secondary systems, please go to the
"PC vs. Console Differences" section under "Basic Game Information" to get more
information about possible sources of confusion. However, let me reiterate:
THE MAJORITY OF THIS GUIDE IS RELEVANT AND APPLICABLE REGARDLESS OF WHAT SYSTEM
YOU ARE USING TO PLAY MAFIA.
Note 4:
This guide contains "spoilers," "secrets," "given away plot twists,"
etc. While most sections other than the main walkthrough are spoiler-free, I
cannot guarantee this. If you are concerned with avoiding spoilers, it is
advisable that you not read ahead to information regarding content you have not
yet reached.

Given the size of this guide, locating specific sections can be difficult. To
facilitate this, I've made shortcuts for each major and minor section in the
guide. To the right of each section in the contents, there will be a small

browsers, press Ctrl F), and copy this code - brackets included - into
the find menu. This should take you to the desired section.

*******************************************************************************
Hello. My name is Bloviator, and it's my pleasure to guide you through the
amazing gaming experience that is "Mafia." You may be a hardcore gamer who
considers yourself "1337" or a little less-experienced player who needs some
help with this game. Or maybe you're just a cat who brought up this guide
because you walked on the keyboard. In any case, I'm going to help you
throughout your adventure in the city of Lost Heaven.
Before I begin, there are some distinctions that I would like to make clear
regarding my guides and my writing style. First and foremost, I write guides as
a hobby, because I enjoy doing so, and not for any form of monetary profit. As
a result, I cannot be expected to dedicate myself uncompromisingly to a work,
nor can I be held accountable for any imperfections that may exist in my
writing.
Secondly, though I do not write guides professionally, I generally attempt to
uphold the facets of a professional writing style. Without any intended
criticism or insult towards other authors, please note that this guide will be
written, to the best of my abilities, in proper English. While my style can at
times be long-winded, pedantic, or otherwise confusing, I will not compromise
the quality of my work with egregious breaches of the rules of the English
language. Furthermore, you will not find any emoticons or similar symbols in my
writing. It is my firm belief that if you have a feeling or emotion worth
expressing through the medium of a language, you can do so using proper words.
Now as you can probably tell, this document is rather large, especially
compared to the other guides for Mafia that are available online. Quite
plainly, I intend to provide you with as much information as is possible while
still keeping it straightforward and easy to understand. That's a rather
ambitious goal, I know, and I frequently find myself living up to my name. But
I do try to avoid using far more words than are necessary to discuss something
I know little about. In this case, at least I'm quite familiar with the subject
matter. No guarantees on the excessive words though...
It is my intention that this guide be able to give you very detailed
instructions on what you can, and should do throughout the game. You might want
to follow every word written here, or you may simply want a few tips for a
specific mission. I've tried to make this guide capable of accommodating
all players, regardless of skill or experience. However, you may notice that
some aspects seem somewhat basic. Again, I'm writing this in such a manner that
anyone, whether a hardcore gamer or someone who has never played a videogame
before, can fully experience and enjoy this game.
As you probably know, Mafia is an entertaining, enjoyable, and all-around
stupendous game. Whether you've already played some, read a review, or just
looked at the back of the box, you're most likely aware of just how incredible
this game is. So sit back, strap in, and let me take you on a journey where you
can experience the tale of Mafia unfold before you.
Before I continue with the guide, I want to reiterate some of the notes from
before. Remember that the console versions of this game are very similar, but
not quite identical to their PC cousin. Since this guide was written using the
PC version, you may want to take a look at the "PC vs. Console Differences"
section if you're playing on a PS2 or Xbox.
Also, if you are on a PC, it's recommended that you patch your game. I'd highly
advise you to download and install either the version 1.1 or 1.2 patch, as
these will fix a few problems, as well as clarify a some points noted within
this guide.
Finally, I'd like to remind you once again that this guide does contain
spoilers. Be mindful of what you're reading, and don't skip ahead if such a
thing concerns you...Or do; it's your choice. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
In writing this guide, I've made an effort to present all the information I
can, while still giving you the opportunity to do practically anything in this
amazing game. I hope reading this guide allows you to enjoy Mafia to its
fullest. It's certainly been a pleasure for me.

- PC vs. Console Differences -
------------------------------
As an introduction, I think I'll just use the same note from before. Mafia was
originally created for the PC. Shortly thereafter, console versions were made
for the Xbox and PlayStation 2. While the main substance of the game was almost
completely unchanged, certain details were modified, added, or deleted. As a
result, you should be able to read this guide and use its information to help
you with Mafia, regardless of what system you're using. However, there may be
certain minor discrepancies between this guide and your game if you are playing
on the Xbox or PlayStation 2. Still, let me reiterate:
THE MAJORITY OF THIS GUIDE IS RELEVANT AND APPLICABLE REGARDLESS OF WHAT SYSTEM
YOU ARE USING TO PLAY MAFIA.
This section was designed to list the differences between the PC and console
versions, so as to eliminate the gray area between known discrepancy and
unknown mystery. Now personally, I own just the PC version of Mafia. Therefore,
I am only capable of adding information to this section that I have verified
with people who own either the PS2 or Xbox version.
Here are a few key differences, in no particular order:
-The PS2, Xbox, and PC versions all have different control setups (obviously),
as they don't have the same buttons.
-In the console versions, large green arrows may be hanging over important
characters (e.g. Big Biff in Chinatown).
-The in-game map is slightly different in the PS2 and Xbox versions, and you
can zoom in and out.
-Certain aspects of the game were removed in maximize performance on the
console versions. For example, the group of cars on the bridge in "Fairplay" is
absent from the console versions. Also, the blood effects are markedly reduced.
-The extra health cabinet found on Lucas Bertone's wall begins to appear in
earlier missions (such as "Omerta") in the PS2 and Xbox versions than in the
PC version.
-There is a Race mode in the PS2 and Xbox versions that is unlocked after
beating the main game. This takes the place of the PC version's "Freeride
Extreme" mode, since FRE is NOT present in the console versions. Also, there is
no "Race Mode" in the PC version.
-This is important, especially for this guide: All three versions have the same
missions, but they are organized differently. Since this guide was written for
the PC version, ALL MISSION NUMBERING WILL BE ACCORDING TO THE PC VERSION. If
I write that something is in mission #11, that means "Visiting Rich People",
NOT "A Trip to the Country."

*******************************************************************************
The following section describes the many characters that you'll encounter
throughout your time in Lost Heaven. For the list of missions in which each
character appears, the following notation will be used:
- No marking next to the mission name means that they're in the level,
and have their own life meter above Tommy's.
- A marking of "(ambient)" next to the missiont means that they're in the
level, and can be interacted with, but they have no life bar above
Tommy's. With a few exceptions, they'll stay where they are as opposed to
following Tommy around.
- A marking of "(cinematic only)" means that the character only appears
in that mission during a cinematic sequence or sequences; they are not
visible or accessible when you are in control of Tommy.
- Finally, a marking of "(referenced)" means that the character does not
even appear in the mission, but their name is referred to in someone
else's dialogue. I admit that this classification is a little bit flawed,
and I have ended up omitting all but the most important references.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[05-MAC]
--------------------
- Major Characters -
--------------------
THOMAS "TOMMY" ANGELO
From the instruction manual:
"Tom is the main character in the game. Originally a cab driver, but due to a
combination of unpleasant circumstances, he is forced to join the Mafia. Tom
is all in all a nice guy, but a tough childhood and life in the 1930's have
changed his moral values a little. Thus, he's capable of doing things that a
normal person wouldn't understand, but his conscience sometimes haunts him."
As the manual describes, Tommy is the intriguing protagonist of Mafia, and
the character that you control. Although he begins as a simple cab driver,
Tommy will end up becoming a powerful member of the Mafia in the city of Lost
Heaven. He is the main focus of the story and his actions noticeably affect
it. Since Tommy is the player that you will directly control throughout the
game, you will become familiar with his skills and his limitations. His driving
abilities are obvious, given his previous profession for a taxi company. On the
other hand, his skill with firearms is developed by being a Mafioso, as the
work this position entails frequently involves gunplay. Like in most
videogames, the main character is somewhat unrealistically resilient to damage.
This is still the case in Mafia, though not to a ridiculous degree. While Tommy
can take a few of rounds to the body without dying, a single accurate rifle
headshot, a point blank round of buckshot, or a grenade at his feet will almost
certainly take him down.

NORMAN
From the instruction manual:
"Norman is the typical example of a detective brought up through the school of
hard knocks. He is a scruffy, tough guy, who acts like he hates everybody
around him. Tom tells him his story, but doesn't get much sympathy."
The manual's description of Norman omits the rather important fact that he's
never in any of the game's playable missions. He appears in the prologue, all
the "intermezzo" chapters and the epilogue. Essentially, Tommy is recounting
his experience in the Mafia to Norman a few years after all the events in
question take place. The majority of the game that you play comes from these
flashbacks.

Epilogue (cinematic only)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DON SALIERI
From the instruction manual:
"The Don is the boss of the family that Tommy works for. He's a guy who's
lived through a lot ad doesn't get excited too easily. He's typical of a
Mafioso, who hasn't built up his position just for money and doesn't always
kill to get what he wants. He is friendly, but when he gets tough he can
become dangerous. Sometimes business is more important than friendship to
him."
In case you're wondering, that last sentence is foreshadowing the events in the
mission "Omerta." Anyway, Don Salieri will act as your boss for nearly the
entire game. He gives you mission briefings and tells you what to do. As the
game progresses, he develops a closer relationship with Tommy, and talks to him
as more of a friend than a hired gun. He stresses the Mafia family above all
else, and is willing to go to great lengths to keep these "family values"
alive.

Epilogue (referenced)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAULIE
From the instruction manual:
"Paulie is Tom's sidekick, and energetic and hot-tempered guy, who sometimes
behaves completely unexpectedly. If he likes somebody he is the most loyal
friend you could have, someone you can always rely on; if he doesn't cause you
problems that is. Tom and Paulie are the greatest of friends and often work
and have fun together."
Oddly enough, as the manual says, he IS like Tommy's sidekick, even though he
(Paulie) is a much more experienced Mafioso. Paulie is a very unpredictable
person, and his motives are often unclear. Sometimes he is unusually humble
and willing to put aside his personal problems for the greater good (e.g.
Ordinary Routine), other times he's angry and revengeful (e.g. Better Get Used
to It), and occasionally he's just greedy (e.g. Moonlighting). Still, he
remains a useful and valuable member of Salieri's "family."
Missions:
1 - An Offer You Can't Refuse
2 - The Running Man (cinematic only)
3 - Molotov Party
4 - Ordinary Routine
7b - Better Get Used to It
9 - A Trip to the Country
12 - A Great Deal!
14 - Happy Birthday! (ambient)
15 - You Lucky Bastard!
16 - Creme de la Creme
18 - Just for Relaxation
19 - Moonlighting
20 - The Death of Art (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAM
From the instruction manual:
"Another of Tom's colleagues. He is a big, friendly guy, with a nice smile.
In spite of his size, he is timid and a little clumsy, and doesn't talk much.
He often works with Tom and Paulie, and they are good friends."
Though he seems to be a minor character at the beginning, Sam will begin to
play a larger part in the story once you progress deeper into the game. In
fact, he has a major role in some of Mafia's most dramatic missions. Over the
course of their time together, Sam, Paulie and Tommy develop a strong bond.
More often than not, this is the result of one of the three getting injured.
Missions:
1 - An Offer You Can't Refuse
2 - The Running Man (cinematic only)
3 - Molotov Party (cinematic only)
4 - Ordinary Routine
7b - Better Get Used to It (ambient)

12 - A Great Deal!
15 - You Lucky Bastard! (ambient)
16 - Creme de la Creme
18 - Just for Relaxation
20 - The Death of Art (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRANK
From the instruction manual:
"Frank is Don Salieri's best friend, associate and advisor. His main concern
is family finance and the legal side of business. He is well suited to this.
At first sight he doesn't seem to belong among these criminals, as he is a
very quiet inconspicuous nice guy. He does his work mainly because of an
attachment to Don Salieri, as well as their mutant past. They grew up together
in a poor quarter and thanks to Don he gained most of what he has, so he can't
just turn his back on him. If he'd grown up in any other place he would
certainly be a successful lawyer or businessman."
Almost always seen behind Salieri, Frank is without a doubt the Don's right-
hand man. Though he deals with the paperwork and legal matters of the Mafia,
he's no soft guy. His motivating, if somewhat dramatically pessimistic words
inspire Tommy throughout the game ("Fairplay" [Part 2] comes to mind).
Missions:
3 - Molotov Party (cinematic only)
4 - Ordinary Routine (ambient)
6 - Fairplay [Part 2] (cinematic only)
7b - Better Get Used to It (ambient)
8a - The Whore (cinematic only)
9 - A Trip to the Country (cinematic only)
10 - Omerta
20 - The Death of Art (referenced)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VINCENZO
From the instruction manual:
"He has worked for the family for a long time and it means everything to him.
It's strange that such a good guy like Vincenzo found his greatest love in
guns, but that's why he takes care of Salieri's arsenal of weapons and selects
the best equipment for a mission."
Before most missions, you're going to want to check in with both Vincenzo and
Ralph. The former will set you up with weapons for the challenge ahead.
Usually he will supply you with a Colt 1911 or another handgun, but depending
on the mission, he can give you everything from a sniper rifle to a car bomb.
Missions:
3 - Molotov Party (cinematic only)
4 - Ordinary Routine (ambient)
7b - Better Get Used to It (ambient)
10 - Omerta (ambient)
11 - Visiting Rich People (ambient)
14 - Happy Birthday! (cinematic only)
15 - You Lucky Bastard! (ambient)
17 - Election Campaign (ambient)
18 - Just for Relaxation (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RALPH
From the instruction manual:
"Ralph is excellent when it comes to dealing with vehicles. He can take
apart, repair, improve and then rebuild whatever he gets his hands on and
that's about it. His world revolves around anything on four wheels, and he
knows little about anything else. That's why he'll only talk about vehicles,
though even conversations about vehicles aren't easy for him."
Along with Vincenzo, you will want to pay a visit to Ralph before each
mission. He will supply you with a car to suit your needs. Stuttering aside,
Ralph is a very helpful character. He teaches you how to steal new car models
and supplies you with some as well. In addition, any car you bring back to him
will be added to the garage at mission completion. You can then use that car
on any subsequent mission.
Missions:

16 - Creme de la Creme (ambient)
17 - Election Campaign (ambient)
18 - Just for Relaxation (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DON MORELLO
From the instruction manual:
"Salieri's main adversary. Where Salieri opts for negotiation, Morello uses
an army of men with Thompsons. Where Salieri punishes treachery, Morello
indiscriminately shows his might. Because of this he has a big influence in
the city, which he is trying to extend into Salieri family territory. He is
greatly helped by his brother Sergio. However, he ultimately destroys
everything he's involved in through his overly brutal behavior."
Morello is the rival Don in Lost Heaven. While Salieri is cast in a benevolent,
almost father-figure light, Morello stands for every negative aspect of the
Mafia. Invoking wanton violence and refusing to adhere to "family values," his
only concern is personal gain. For a good portion of the game, your ultimate
goal will be bringing him down. As a result, most of the enemies you face are
his goons.
Missions:
Intermezzo 1 (cinematic only)
16 - Creme de la Creme (ambient)
Intermezzo 4 (referenced)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUCAS BERTONE
From the instruction manual:
"Lucas is a pleasant Italian of middle age, a car mechanic for the rich. He
is very big-hearted even though, in view of the services he provides to the
Mafia, he is no saint.
NOTE: Although not part of the Salieri family its often worth visiting Lucas
when you have spare time as unlike Ralph, Luca's work means that he has
access to some of the more luxurious and exotic cars in the city."
Lucas Bertone's auto service shop is under the Giuliano Bridge in southern New
Ark. As the manual describes, Lucas is able to get you access to more high-end
cars than Ralph. After many missions, you may have the option to take a detour
and stop by his shop. It's highly recommended that you do this, because the
resulting side-mission will unlock new cars, which will aid you both in future
missions and in Freeride.
Missions:
5 - Fairplay (ambient)
6 - Fairplay [Part 2] (ambient)
9 - A Trip to the Country (ambient)
10 - Omerta (ambient)

[05-MIC]
--------------------
- Minor Characters -
--------------------
Luigi: The bartender at Salieri's bar - He is a kind man who has many a
conversation with Tommy. He appears in nearly every mission, waiting behind the
bar for customers. If you try to talk to him, he usually tells Tommy to check
back later, when can have a more thorough conversation.

Missions:
5 - Fairplay (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michelle: She congratulates Tommy after his win in "Fairplay" [Part 2] and
turns out to be "The Whore" in the mission of the same name. Under Tommy's
request/order, she leaves the city, never to return.
Missions:
6 - Fairplay [Part 2] (cinematic only)
8a - The Whore (cinematic only)
20 - The Death of Art (referenced)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Biff: An informant for the Salieri Family who usually hangs out in
Chinatown - He informs you of the gang's base of operations in "Better Get Used
To It" and tries to help you find Frank in "Omerta."
Missions:
7b - Better Get Used to It (ambient)
10 - Omerta (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Billy: An obnoxious little street punk. Tommy hunts him down in the mission
"Better Get Used to It." However, as he is the son of an influential city
councilor, his death creates quite a commotion, and a problem for Tommy.
Missions:
7b - Better Get Used to It (ambient)
8b - The Priest (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Johnny: This friend of Billy's somehow lives though his ordeal with Tommy in
"Better Get Used to It." In revenge, he brings the councilor and all of the
corrupt politicians down on Salieri.
Missions:
7b - Better Get Used to It (ambient)
8b - The Priest (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Councilor (unnamed): Tommy is sent aboard a party steamer to kill this city
councilor in the mission "Happy Birthday!" This is a major event in the chain
of Salieri's attacks on those who associate with Morello. Also note that this
is the same man whose son (Billy) Paulie killed in "Better Get Used to It." As
a result, the councilor shows up at Billy's funeral during "The Priest."
Missions:
8b - The Priest (cinematic only)
14 - Happy Birthday! (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas' Friend (unnamed): Tommy has to warn this man to escape from the police
converging on his apartment in the mission "A Trip to the Country". This favor
is greatly appreciated by Lucas.
Missions:
9 - A Trip to the Country (only mentioned)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little Tony: Another informant of the Salieri family - He hangs out in front
of the art gallery on Central Island
Missions:
10 - Omerta (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Idiot Joe: Idiot Joe is a reluctant informant who gives Tommy a ton of snappy
backtalk before telling him about Frank and the accounting books in "Omerta."
He can be found not far from Lucas Bertone's shop, under the Giuliano Bridge.
Missions:
10 - Omerta (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March: Frank's wife makes an appearance in the mission "Omerta." Play
the mission for more information about her story.
Missions:
10 - Omerta (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alice: Frank's daughter also can be found in the mission "Omerta." Again, play
the mission for more information.
Missions:
10 - Omerta (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carlo: A friend of Lucas Bertone's - He has a personal vendetta against Stan,
and Tommy beats up this bouncer as a favor. As a side note, there's no mention
as to whether or not this is the same Carlo as Salieri's driver.
Missions:
10 - Omerta (only mentioned)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stan: A big muscular guy - He appears to be the bouncer at the Black Cat Bar in
Little Italy. Tommy beats him up as a favor for Carlo.
Missions:
10 - Omerta (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salvatore: Salvatore is the best lock pick in the city. He aids Tommy in the
mission "Visiting Rich People" by opening the gate, the safe in the
office, and (optionally) the prosecutor's Silver Fletcher.
Missions:
11 - Visiting Rich People
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William Gates (Bill): Bill is introduced as a whiskey dealer from Kentucky who
arranges a deal with Paulie. His part is very minor, as he gets shot almost
immediately after Tommy meets him. However, it turns out that he isn't from
Kentucky at all. In fact, he's just a small time thief who stole from Morello,
which is why the gangsters came to hunt him down. It's unclear whether or not
any pun is aimed at Microsoft's billion-dollar frontman.
Missions:
12 - A Great Deal! (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pepe: Pepe is the owner of a fine Italian Bar and Pizzeria in New Ark. His
restaurant is a favorite of Don Salieri's. In the mission "Bon Appetit!" Tommy
accompanies the Don for a lunch at Pepe's, though the situation turns rapidly
downhill once they finish their meal. However, Pepe survives the ordeal, and
receives some money from Salieri to fix up his restaurant.
Missions:
13 - Bon Appetit! (cinematic only)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carlo: Salieri's double-crossing driver - He called in sick the day Morello
attempted to assassinate Salieri. Tommy hunts him down for retribution. Again,
there's no mention as to whether or not this is the same Carlo as Lucas' friend
in "Omerta."
Missions:
13 - Bon Appetit (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sergio Morello, Jr.: The younger brother of Salieri's rival Don - His uncanny
ability to avoid death becomes evident when Tommy repeatedly fails to kill him
in the mission "You Lucky Bastard!" His eventual demise iss another major event
in the chain, as it marks the death of one of Morello's closest accomplices.
Missions:
15 - You Lucky Bastard! (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas' Friend (unnamed): This man is another of Lucas' unnamed friends. Tommy
has to help him get to the Oakwood "family" doctor after he's shot in
Chinatown. This is part of the Lucas Bertone side-mission in "You Lucky
Bastard!"
Missions:
15 - You Lucky Bastard!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Sewer: Tommy is sent to silence this political enemy of Salieri's in the
mission "Election Campaign." Though he isn't part of the anti-Morello chain of
events, he still poses a threat to the Salieri family.
Missions:

Lucas' Friend (unnamed): Yet another of Lucas' unnamed friends - Tommy helps
this man avoid being killed by the police in "Election Campaign."
Missions:
17 - Election Campaign (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don Pepone: The Don under whom both Morello and Salieri served in the early
years of the 20th century. Tommy briefly mentions him when talking to Norman
during Intermezzo 4. Also, as a secret/Easter egg, he appears in the bank in
"Moonlighting."
Missions:
Intermezzo 4 (referenced)
19 - Moonlighting (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dick: "Dick? No, I'm big Dick," this informant exclaims. Tommy is sent to give
him a package as a request from Lucas in "Moonlighting." Unfortunately, they're
attacked, and the two men end up having to fight off a few gangsters.
Missions:
19 - Moonlighting (ambient)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yellow Pete: A one-armed gunsmith who, despite being off the beaten path,
provides a very useful service. Although you only have access to his shop in
the final parts of the game, his arsenal of weapons is very helpful when trying
to beat these last couple missions. His shop (though not his body) remains in
Freeride mode and is the only place to purchase new weaponry. Look for a metal
door next to the parking lot behind the Twister theater in western Hoboken.
Missions:
19 - Moonlighting (ambient)
20 - The Death of Art (ambient)
Freeride (Yellow Pete himself is not present)

*******************************************************************************
Given how this game is titled "Mafia," it's only natural that you will have to
use weapons at some point. After all, I'm assuming that you bought this game so
that you could shoot people, not be a prosecuting attorney against the
mob...right? Anyway, I have compiled a list of all the weapons in the game,
organized into categories, and described in great detail.
The weapon list will be set up under each category like this:
________________________
/ /
/ W E A P O N N A M E /
/ /____________________________________________________
/=============================================================================\
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | The name of the weapon as it appears in the game. For |
| | example, the "Smith and Wesson" is always abbreviated to |
| | simply "S&W". Therefore, the Smith and Wesson Model 10 |
| | Military and Police is called the S&W Model 10 M&P. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Size | This will either be small or large (or N/A in the case of |
| | fists). Tommy has five slots/holsters in his inventory |
| | for small weapons, his coat, and his hands. Thus, you can |
| | carry six small weapons (five in his holsters, and one in |
| | his coat) and still have your hands free. If his coat |
| | "space" isn't being used up, Tommy can hide one large |
| | weapon there, while still having his hands free. |
| | Therefore, if you want to be able to conceal all your |
| | weapons, you can carry either six small weapons, or five |
| | small and one large. However, if you add a second large |
| | weapon, even if you have no small weapons, Tommy will not |
| | be able to conceal it. |
| | |
| | Whether or not you care about concealing weapons, Tommy |
| | can still only hold two large weapons, regardless of |
| | remaining space in his inventory. In general, most melee |
| | weapons and handguns are small, while the shotguns and |
| | rifles are large. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Damage | A rough estimate of the damage that the weapon doles out |
| | - The type of weapon is factored in to some degree. The |
| | The ratings are: Very low, low, medium-low, medium, |
| | medium-high, high, extreme. For firearms, this rating |
| | will be followed by the maximum damage value (as taken |
| | from a weapon statistics editor, which shows the original |
| | stats before you modify them). |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Another rough estimate, this time, of the weapon's range |
| | - For melee weapons, this is going to be quite short. |
| | Obviously, you can't hit someone with a baseball bat if |
| | They're more than a few feet away from you. |
| | For guns, it is the maximum range at which the weapon |
| | retains most of its accuracy. It is measured in the |
| | following ratings: None, very short, short, medium-short, |
| | medium, medium-far, far, extreme. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | The first number will show the maximum amount that can be |
| | held in one clip and expended before having to reload. |
| | The second number shows the maximum amount of ammo that |
| | Tommy can hold in reserve for the weapon. This means that |
| | the total ammunition capacity is the sum of these two |
| | numbers. |
| | For obvious reasons, this value will be N/A for melee and |
| | thrown weapons. Also, please note that I'm using the term |
| | "clip" very loosely for all firearms. Don't send an |
| | e-mail to tell me that a revolver does not use a clip |
| | magazine. I know. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Advantages of the weapon, and why you might use it |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Disadvantages of the weapon, and why you might not use it |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | This describes a situation in which the listed weapon |
| | would be most effective. It addresses enemy numbers, |
| | range and armaments. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | A weapon's rarity, or frequency of appearance in the |
| | game, will be listed as one of the following: |
| | |
| | "rare" (one or two missions at most) |
| | "uncommon" (a few missions, but more difficult to find) |
| | "common" (in many missions and relatively easy to acquire)|
| | "abundant" (in nearly every mission, and very easy to get)|
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | The price of this weapon when purchased from Yellow |
| | Pete's gunshop - See the "Freeride" section for more |
| | information. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | A brief overview of the weapon, along with any additional |
| | information that would be useful to the user |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
So without further ado, the weapons:
[06-MEL]
-----------------
- Melee weapons -
-----------------
Fists, bats, knives, crowbars, and similar weapons represent the melee
category. Though some missions are an all-out brawl (such as the first part of
"Better Get Used to It"), melee is usually a last resort. If you're going up
against enemies armed with guns, you'll be shot down before you even get within
striking distance. In general, these weapons aren't that great, and should only
be used if you have no alternative.

|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Fists |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Size | N/A - Your fists do not take up a space in your inventory.|
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Damage | Very low |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | None - you must be literally right up against your target.|
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | N/A - This is a melee weapon |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Not much - you can actually attack and do damage - |
| | Doesn't take up an inventory space |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Low damage, nonexistent range, practically useless |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A single unarmed enemy, preferably a passive citizen who |
| | won't attack you |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | N/A - You always have them |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | N/A - You always have them |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | The fists are your default weapon when you have nothing |
| | else to use. They are almost completely useless. When |
| | fighting another person hand-to-hand, you'll get hurt |
| | quite a bit before you can knock them out. When fighting |
| | someone with a gun, you don't stand a chance. |

| Size | Small |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Damage | Low |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | None |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | N/A - This is a melee weapon |

| Advantages | Slightly better than bare fists |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|

| Rarity | Rare |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | N/A - Not for sale at Yellow Pete's |

| Notes | If you were confused by the name, these are brass |
| | knuckles. They pack a little bigger punch than the fists |
| | (all puns intended), but they are still practically |

| Name | Baseball Bat |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Size | Large |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Damage | Low* |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Short |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | N/A - This is a melee weapon |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | One hit kill feature, can be carried without drawing |
| | police attention |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Two-handed (you can only have two two-handed weapons in |
| | your inventory at once), low range, regular damage is |
| | still low |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A single unarmed, (or armed with a melee weapon) enemy, |
| | or two unarmed enemies |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Common |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $10 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | This is probably the best melee weapon. The asterisk on |
| | "low" damage is because although a normal blow is not |
| | very powerful, if you can hit someone from behind with a |
| | fully charged swing, it's a one hit kill. Add that to the |
| | fact that you can carry the bat around without angering |
| | the police (unless you hit someone in front of them), and |
| | the fact that it's quite common, and you have yourself a |
| | solid melee weapon. |

|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | N/A - This is a melee weapon |

|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Uncommon |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $10 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | Like the baseball bat, a fully charged hit from behind is |
| | a one hit kill. However, the knife does more normal |
| | damage by itself (it is a knife after all), but is rarer |
| | than the bat. |

| Notes | This "secret" weapon is one that many people never even |

| Notes | This is another of the "secret" weapons in Mafia. It too |
| | can only be found twice in the game (to my knowledge). |
| | First, in "A Trip to the Country," after Paulie uses a |
| | crowbar to open the barn, go over and pick up his dropped |
| | tool to discover that it's actually this secret weapon. |
| | The second time you come across the steel bar is in the |
| | mission "Bon Appetit!" After Tommy hunts down Carlo at |
| | his apartment, a few of his friends will attack. One has |
| | a baseball bat, another has a Colt Detective Special, and |
| | the third has this unique weapon. |

| Clip/Max Ammo | N/A - This is a melee weapon |

| Advantages | Is very interesting, better than fists |

| Ideal Situation | A single unarmed enemy (though you won't get such an |

| | weapon) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Rare |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | N/A - Not for sale at Yellow Pete's |

| Notes | Another "secret" weapon - The bucket is needed to clean |
| | the restroom on the party steamer in the mission "Happy |

| | his left. |

[06-HAN]
------------
- Handguns -
------------
The handgun will serve as your bread and butter weapon throughout the game.
Although the various models are quite different from one another, they do share
some common characteristics. For example, any handgun can be concealed inside
Tommy's coat by pressing the H key (provided you have enough space in your
inventory). This should keep you safe from the law. Also, all handguns can be
used to do drive-by shootings by equipping them when inside the car, then
pressing whatever key is assigned to fire/shoot (generally left-click). Tommy
will stick the gun out of the window, and you are then free to fire. To retract
his arm, simply press action/use (right-click). So without further ado, here
are the handguns.

| Damage | Medium (40) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Medium |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 6/36 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Very common, certainly better than a melee weapon |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Not exceptionally accurate or damaging |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A few enemies armed with handguns or a single enemy armed |
| | with a more powerful weapon, such as a shotgun, at medium |
| | range |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Abundant |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $30 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | The standard issue handgun for all police officers - |
| | Unfortunately, it's really not a very good gun. Its low |
| | damage and high recoil make the Model 10 a rather |
| | undesirable choice. However, it still is better than |
| | using a melee weapon, and its abundance does help if you |
| | just need a gun. |

| Size | Small |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Damage | Medium-high (55) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Medium-far |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 7/35 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Very high accuracy for a handgun, good damage output |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Not as powerful as the magnum |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A few enemies armed with handguns or a single enemy armed |
| | with a more powerful weapon, such as a shotgun, at |
| | medium-long range |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Abundant |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $50 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | A basic pistol, yet highly effective when used correctly |
| | - Its precision and accuracy are notably better than any |
| | of the other handguns. This is my personal pistol of |
| | choice, and is one that you will probably use throughout |
| | the game. This Colt is carried by many enemies in the |
| | story missions, and by most gangsters in Freeride mode. |
| | There's a reason that this gun is still in use to this |
| | day, nearly a century after its invention. The 1911 will |
| | not let you down. |

| Damage | Medium-low (30) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Medium |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 6/36 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Decent damage, decent accuracy |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Relatively small clip, not extremely common, usually |
| | there is a better alternative |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A few enemies armed with handguns or a single enemy armed |
| | with a more powerful weapon, such as a shotgun, at medium |
| | range |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Uncommon |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $10 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | This is arguably the worst of the pistols. It has lower |
| | damage, worse accuracy and shorter range than any of the |
| | other handguns. The Colt 1911 or Model 27 will easily |
| | beat it in almost any situation. Only the Model 10 even |
| | "comes close," in terms of being a fairly ineffective and |
| | rather useless killing tool. Also, the Detective Special |
| | isn't a particularly common weapon. |
| | Another note is that in most of the missions late in the |
| | game, Tommy begins the level with a CDS and one "clip" |
| | (I know it's not actually a clip, spare me the e-mail) of |
| | ammunition, even before he goes to see Vincenzo. |

| Cost | $100 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | A very powerful magnum - Between this and the Colt 1911, |
| | it's a matter of personal preference. The Model 27 deals |
| | more damage, but is slower, and has more recoil. I prefer |
| | the 1911, but the magnum is just as effective when used |
| | correctly. Also note that although it's not rare, the |

[06-SHO]
------------
- Shotguns -
------------
Although there are only two models in this game, the shotguns are
unquestionably the heavy hitters in Tommy's arsenal. Without a doubt, they will
save your life, time and time again. When used effectively, these tools of
destruction can turn the tide of any battle. As they are "heavy," or two-handed
weapons, Tommy can only conceal one at a time, and cannot use them in drive-by
shootings.

|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 8/32* |

| Name | Sawed-off Shotgun |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Size | Large (There's a misprint in the manual that classifies |
| | the sawed-off as small. It is actually a large-type |
| | weapon) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Damage | Extreme (250) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Short |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 2/34 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Absurdly high damage, can fire two shots very quickly |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Must be reloaded after every two shots, very limited |
| | effective range |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | One or possibly two enemies armed with almost anything, |
| | but must be at very close range |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Uncommon |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $500 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | At close range, this weapon will kill in one hit. Plain |
| | and simple. However, as your target gets farther away, |
| | the damage drops dramatically. By the time you're |
| | shooting at long range, the gun is all but useless. Also, |
| | although you can fire two shots in rapid succession, the |
| | gun has to be reloaded after those two shots, which can |

[06-RIF]
----------
- Rifles -
----------
Though the bulkiest of the weapons (aside from the shotguns), the rifles in
Mafia are some of the most powerful. Usually noted for their damage dealing
capabilities, high accuracy, and low re-fire rates, rifles are an instrumental
tool for any sniper, or for anyone who would like to keep their distance. I've
included the Thompson in this category, as it is a(n) (automatic) rifle, but it
doesn't follow the characteristics of the other two.

| Damage | High (100) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Extreme |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 5/35 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | High damage, extreme range, very accurate, has a scope |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Rare (only once in the main game), slow fire rate |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A few enemies armed with just about anything (except |
| | rifles) at as long a range as possible |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Rare |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $2000 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | How can you have a videogame "shooter" and not have a |
| | sniper rifle? The Mosin-Nagant addresses this question. |
| | It has a built in scope (default: R key) that allows you |
| | to hit a target from practically anywhere. In addition, |
| | its high damage output will almost certainly kill that |
| | target in one or two shots. The problem is that the |
| | weapon is extremely rare. In the main storyline, you only |
| | get your hands on this rifle once, in "Election |
| | Campaign." In Freeride, you can purchase one, and in |
| | Freeride Extreme, you can keep one after completing one |
| | of the challenges. |

|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Medium |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | 50/200 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | Good damage, fast rate of fire, decent range, very |
| | effective overall |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Range isn't as good as that of some other guns... |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | Almost any number of enemies with any weapons at almost |
| | any range (the only exceptions would be rifle-wielding |
| | enemies at long range or shotgun-toting gangster at point |
| | blank) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Common |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $1000 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | The Tommy gun, the T-Gun, The Chicago Typewriter, The |
| | Big-T - Whatever you want to call it, this is by far the |
| | best weapon in the game. An experienced player will be |
| | able to take down almost anyone with this beast, without |
| | even being hit. Its high rate of fire makes it capable of |
| | effective crowd control when facing multiple targets, as |
| | well as suppressive fire to keep the enemies from |
| | retaliating. Though I listed the range as medium, an |
| | effective user can hit almost anything with it (which is |
| | somewhat unrealistic, given the round clip inefficiencies |
| | of the real gun). Finally, it is relatively abundant in |
| | the story and in Freeride, meaning that you will have |
| | plenty of ammo to use. What more could you ask for? |

[06-THR]

- Throwable Weapons -
---------------------
Perhaps the most underused and underrepresented weapons in Mafia are the
throwables. Both the Molotov cocktail and the grenade are capable of dealing
large amounts of damage if utilized correctly. Once the throwing arc is
mastered, a good player should be able to hit enemies quite a distance away.

|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Range | Medium-far |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Clip/Max Ammo | N/A - Each cocktail takes up one inventory space |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Advantages | High damage, can affect multiple enemies with ease |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Disadvantages | Can hurt yourself, takes practice to utilize well, |
| | dangerous in close quarters |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Ideal Situation | A medium-large clustered and tightly packed group of |
| | enemies, with almost any weapon (though rifles might be a |
| | problem) at medium range |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Rarity | Rare |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Cost | $1000 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | Not very common in either the story or Freeride mode, |
| | molotovs remain an effective tool for dealing with |
| | crowds of enemies. These cocktails are able to light |
| | people (Tommy included) on fire. Just make sure you're |
| | acquainted with the arc, lest you throw one 20 feet over |
| | an enemy's head, or drop it on your own foot. Also, |
| | please do not e-mail me to argue about Stalin's Foreign |
| | minister and how the weapon is an anachronism in this |
| | game because it did not get its name until after the |
| | 1930s. |

| Cost | $1000 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | Fairly difficult to come by (they're well hidden in the |
| | few missions that even have them at all), but also |
| | extremely effective when utilized correctly - Grenades |
| | are able to kill anything in one hit, including Tommy if |
| | he's too close. Do not underestimate the blast radius of |
| | these things, or they will blow you to pieces. Also, they |
| | are able to destroy most cars if you land one underneath. |
| | Like the cocktails, master Tommy's throwing arc before |
| | you go blowing yourself up. |

*While the baseball bat and knife do a set amount of damage using a normal
swing, a fully charged blow from behind is a one-hit kill with either weapon.
**Unlike other weapons, the pump-action shotgun is loaded with individual
cartridges, rather than a clip. This means that reloading does not waste
ammunition.

***********************************************************************[07-CAR]
*********************************** C A R S ***********************************
*******************************************************************************
Driving plays just as important a role as gunplay throughout much of the game.
As a result, it's equally critical that you are familiar with the numerous
vehicles available in Mafia. Although I believe this section to be highly
informative, I still encourage you to check out other sources of information.
In particular, I recommend MattyDienhoff's Car Guide, which can be found here:
http://mafiascene.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10727
Moving on, all cars are measured by, and classified under a number of different
criteria. They will be listed by section/type/company, in the order in which
they appear from the Freeride car-select menu. For each line/family, the
following information will be given:
Grouping: Cars are grouped by how they are unlocked. For example, there
are three groups of Bolts: Bolt Aces, Bolt Model Bs, and Bolt V8s. The Aces are
unlocked from the start of the game, the Model Bs are unlocked after beating
mission 3, and the V8s are unlocked after beating mission 8. Therefore, there
are three groups. Each of these groups is listed along with the cars contained
within and the mission after which it becomes available.
Summary: A small synopsis/introduction to this particular group of cars
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For each individual car, the following information will be given (information
in parenthesis is usually redundant, but in metric form):

/=============================================================================\
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Name of the car as it appears in game, not the name of |
| | the actual car after which it's modeled - If you're |
| | interested in the real-world counterparts, I suggest |
| | looking at "Real Car Names" in the "Secrets" section of |
| | this guide. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Weight | The weight of the car in kilograms |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Power | The horsepower of the car in HP (in kilowatts) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Max Speed | This is the maximum speed that the game lists the car as |
| | being able to travel, in miles per hour (in kilometers |
| | per hour). |
| | |
| | Note that most cars can exceed this figure, some more so |
| | than others. For more accurate information about true max |
| | speeds, please take a look at dood's "Car Top Speed |
| | List." You can find it at this address: |
| | |
| | http://mafiascene.com/modules.php?name=content&cid=27 |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Engine | The number of cylinders in the car's engine |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Swept Volume | This is the volume (in cubic centimeters) that the piston |
| | covers during one stroke, or cycle. This is a value |
| | included in the carcylcopedia, but it really isn't that |
| | important unless you're a car buff. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Gear Box | How many gears the car has in its gearbox - Pretty basic, |
| | but if you don't drive manual, it won't really matter to |
| | you. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Seats | The number of people who can ride in the car. This value |
| | is usually either two or four, but may be one for the |
| | race cars. For the most part, you can tell how many seats |
| | a car has just by the name. "Fordor" means four doors |
| | (Four seats); "Tudor" means two doors (two seats). The |
| | unusual spellings are just something you'll have to get |
| | used to. A car's seating is usually not very important, |
| | but for the missions where you have to take Paulie and |
| | Sam somewhere, you're obviously going to need a car that |
| | seats more than two. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Top | This tells whether the top/roof of the car is hard or |
| | soft. If a soft-top lands on its roof (upside down), |
| | Tommy will be killed instantly, regardless of his health |
| | level. Unsurprisingly, cars with no roof at all share |
| | this same weakness. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Colors | This is a list of the possible colors for the car. If you |
| | are choosing a car for Freeride and the car has multiple |
| | color options, you are given the choice of what color you |
| | would like it to be. However, there is a little |
| | peculiarity (which may be a glitch/programming error) in |
| | which the last available color cannot be selected. Cars |
| | painted with these colors can still be found driving the |
| | streets of Lost Heaven, they just cannot be chosen as |
| | your starting vehicle. |
| | For example, all Bolt Ace models exist in blue, dark |
| | blue, green, brown, and red, and each of these can be |
| | found driving around normally. However, if you choose a |
| | Bolt Ace as your starting vehicle in Freeride, you will |
| | be unable to select a red model. |
| | As a reminder, the unavailable colors will be marked with |
| | a single asterisk. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Available After | This tells you the mission after which the car becomes |
| | available for use in Freeride. Note that this means |
| | after COMPLETING the mission (not just starting it). |
| | Also, some of the cars can only be unlocked by completing |
| | Lucas Bertone side-missions. For the sake of clarity, it |
| | is assumed that you are undertaking all these optional |
| | challenges. |

The Bolt family of cars is the largest in the game, and includes some of the
most common vehicles. Expect to see quite a few of these driving around in the
city, especially in the early 1930s. The Bolt line is divided into three
groups: Bolt Aces, Bolt Model Bs, and Bolt V8s. The Aces are the most basic and
weakest of the cars. The Model Bs are mediocre, generic, and very common in the
early 1930s. The V8s are the more elegant and sporty vehicles of the family.
All three groups have the same basic models, only differing slightly in
appearance and handling.

| Notes | This is the basic Bolt Model B: A generic four-seater car |
| | with decent speed, handling, and other statistics. In the |
| | early missions, you will probably spend much of your time |
| | staring at that very distinctive gold-colored grating |
| | covering the spare tire of a Fordor stopped in front of |
| | you. Although this car is a little bland, it's not a |
| | terrible choice for a vehicle. |

| Notes | If you took a Model B Fordor and changed the entire back |
| | seats and rear into a large storage area, you'd basically |
| | have a Model B Delivery. As a result of this extra space, |
| | the car is only a two-seater, and is a little bit longer |

| | doesn't seem to affect its handling much. |

| | one other person along with you, or even if you're just |
| | driving alone. The Fordor handles very similarly to the |
| | other V8s, but is somewhat longer, mostly as a result of |

The Schubert line of cars is another basic one that will serve you well early
on in the game. Additionally, you'll recognize the Schubert as the trademark
police vehicle. You should be able to easily identify the Schubert's distinct
shape from quite a ways away (which is helpful for evading the police).
Although there are six models, there are truly only two Schuberts, with a
number of minor variations. There is the Schubert Six and its police version,
and the slightly more advanced Schubert Extra Six, with both regular and police
Tudor and Fordor versions.

Falconers are another group of basic cars that populate Lost Heaven in the
earlier parts of the game. Even later on, when the normal model has been
outdated, Falconers will still have a significant presence on the streets,
thanks to gangsters (who drive Falconer Gangsters) and taxis (Falconer
Yellowcars). Overall, Falconers are a decent choice for travel and are quite
strong, although they are somewhat lacking under the hood.
*Note that if Tommy drives back in the Falconer during "Molotov Party," it is
unlocked from that point on. Otherwise, the player must wait until "The
Whore/The Priest" to unlock it normally.
**Also note that even before it's unlocked (i.e. Tommy doesn't know how to
steal one), the Yellowcar (taxi) model of the Falconer can be selected as your
starting car for Freeride. More information can be found in the notes for that
particular car.

| Notes | Although it is technically called a Falconer Yellowcar, |

| | Also, this is probably the first car that you'll become |

| | |
| | **One note about when it's available: Although the |
| | Falconer sub-menu is grayed out until you beat mission 8 |
| | (unless you pick one up in "Molotov Party"), the Falconer |
| | Yellowcar is selected by default from the Freeride menu. |
| | Essentially, if you don't go into the car select menu at |
| | all, you'll have a Yellowcar. If you do go into the menu, |
| | change your car, but still want the Yellowcar, simply go |
| | back to the main menu, then click on Freeride again. |

| | "gangster" vehicle (the Wright Coupe), this Falconer is |
| | jet black. When you encounter this in Freeride, keep your |
| | distance if you don't want a fight. Also, don't be fooled |
| | by its weak statistics. Although when YOU'RE behind the |
| | wheel, it can't break 90 mph, the gangsters who normally |
| | drive it can "cheat." Essentially, they can drive |
| | stupendously, and go nearly twice the maximum speed in |
| | order to catch up with you. It's not fair, but get used |

The Crusader line is another small set of cars, containing only the Tudor and
Fordor version of one model. While it doesn't even come close to the power and
speed of the sportscars, the Crusader is still a relatively good choice in
standard vehicles. When compared to the Schubert Extra Six or anything from the
high-end Bolt line (V8), it's really not all that different.

Guardian Terraplane (3 models) - Unlocked after Mission 14: "Happy Birthday!"
- Guardian Terraplane Coupe
- Guardian Terraplane Fordor
- Guardian Terraplane Tudor
The Guardian line contains more of the common, often-seen-on-the-road cars
that make up the mainstay of the average Lost Heaven resident's garage. While
they are somewhat better than other "standard" cars, they don't come close to
the power of the high-end sports or race cars. Still, if you're looking for a
decent vehicle that's above average (perhaps you need to steal a car off the
road), the Guardian line should suit you quite well.

| Notes | Unlike the Tudor and Fordor models, this Coupe adopts a |
| | much more aerodynamic, "swept-back" shape. If you don't |
| | care about capacity, you're probably better off choosing |
| | this Coupe over the Tudor, if solely on the basis of |
| | appearance. Also, although all models come in "umber," |

| | similar to the Fordor, but actually closer to that of the |

Although it has only three models, the Thor line of cars far exceeds the
quality of most of its competitors. Thors strike a good balance between a fast,
nimble sportscar and a strong, sturdy, all-purpose vehicle. Furthermore, for a
relatively high-end sort of car, Thors are actually quite common, especially
towards the end of the game. If your main ride is rendered inoperable and you
have to grab something new, you can't go wrong with a Thor.

With their massive V16 engines and 2500+ kg curb weights, Lassiters are
undoubtedly the heavyweights of Lost Heaven's roads. Don't be fooled by their
size, though; with a skilled hand, it is possible to guide these multi-ton
pieces of metal with surprising precision. Still, while they are a great choice
for an all out firefight, you might want to stick to something a little smaller
and nimbler if the mission at hand calls for a car chase.

| | sound. Its small capacity (i.e. two seats) limits its use |

| Notes | As Lucas Bertone says, the Lassiter V16 Appolyon is more |
| | a work of art than a car. At its core, the vehicle is |
| | much like a Roadster, only with a more powerful engine |
| | and a futuristic design. However, it is plagued by the |
| | exact same problems as its predecessor: limited capacity |
| | and no roof. You might want it in your garage simply for |
| | its amazing looks, but the fact of the matter is that |
| | this isn't the best car to bring to a gunfight. |

Though Lucas Bertone seems to think that most people don't like the Ulver's
unusual appearance, after its introduction into Lost Heaven, the style becomes
quite popular. At the midpoint of the game, you should begin to see more and
more of these very distinct cars driving around the city. In comparison to all
the other "starter" cars, the Ulvers are much faster, more maneuverable, and
better overall.

As the game progresses, it should be obvious that the cars seen around Lost
Heaven do as well. Bolts are replaced by Schuberts, Schuberts are replaced by
Ulvers, and so on. For the most part, the Wright line of cars is merely a
continuation of this trend. They don't offer anything remarkable, but they're
certainly functional. If you're looking for a good standard vehicle in the late
'30s, then these cars should be "Wright" up your alley...Sorry, I couldn't help

| Notes | Looking something like a miniaturized version of a cross |

| | FWD, the Bruno Speedster 851 is certainly an exotic car. |
| | It is both fast and maneuverable, and is rarely a bad |

| | the game, the Bruno becomes a somewhat common street car, |
| | meaning that you don't even have to rely on bringing one |
| | from your garage. That said, its open design exposes you |

| | more than one passenger. Still, this car is a good way to |

The Celeste line only has a single car to its credit. But like the Bruno or

one car. The Celeste Marque 500 is an impressive vehicle, to say the least.
Perhaps most notable is that, unlike many high-end sportscars, the Celeste is
actually somewhat common. It's no Bolt, but by the game's final few missions,
you'll see a fair number of these driving the streets.

| Notes | The Trautenberg Model J is one of the last vehicles you |

| | problems. In particular, its capacity limits your |
| | passengers, while its open top increases the danger from |

| Notes | This Caesar doesn't exactly fit in with the other |
| | racecars. In the Mostro, the raw power of its racing |
| | variant brother (the 2300) has been somewhat toned down, |
| | and a passenger seat has been "added" (read: uncovered). |
| | It further distances itself from its Brubaker, |
| | Trautenberg, and Carrozella relatives in its handling. |
| | Whereas these other aforementioned cars can truly only |
| | shine on the racetrack, the Mostro can safely be |
| | maneuvered in a normal city environment. |

| Notes | This Caesar racecar is quite a vehicle. It is capable of |
| | reaching tremendous speeds, if at the cost of safe |
| | handling. The main issue of note in this section will not |
| | be about the car itself, but how to unlock it. This has |
| | been a matter of great confusion for a number of people. |
| | |
| | My understanding is that in the original (unpatched) |
| | version of the game, the 2300 unlocked normally along |
| | with the other racecars, after completing the appropriate |
| | FRE challenge. In the patched versions, however, the 2300 |
| | does not unlock. Even if using the unlock all FRE cars |
| | cheat (see the "Secrets" section), it still does not |
| | unlock. Some people have claimed that it simply cannot be |
| | unlocked in the patched version and if you want it, you |
| | will have to do a little modding (not as daunting as it |
| | sounds, I assure you). Others, however, have found a |
| | solution. |
| | |
| | In the FRE missions, many of the cars you use become |
| | "fixed" after completing the challenge, meaning that they |
| | cannot be moved from where you last left them. For |
| | example, all of the racecars, the gas-guzzling |
| | Trautenberg, and the Flame Spear 4WD suffer from this |
| | "condition." If the challenge has been completed, once |
| | Tommy steps out, he cannot get back in, and the vehicle |
| | will be stuck where he left it. Many people use this fact |
| | to "pose" their vehicles as part of their collection. But |
| | how does one use this to unlock the car for normal |
| | freeride? |
| | |
| | Well, the closest thing I've found to a walkthrough is a |
| | post by Don D.N on the MafiaScene forums. In particular, |
| | these words: |
| | |
| | "You have to play the race exchange mission in freeride |
| | Extreme and win it of course. Then you'll have to enter |
| | the car, make sure you have parked it correctly so you |
| | can enter it. Then drive it to a gas station and refuel |
| | it once, after that you have to drive to Salieris bar and |
| | park it behind the bar just like you do when playing the |
| | story. Now let it be there and SAVE. Now you've unlocked |
| | the Ceasar Racing car." |
| | |
| | There have also been rumors that winning the race at the |
| | highest difficulty unlocks the 2300. This is purely a |
| | matter of confusion resulting from a PC/Console |
| | difference. As I understand, in the console versions, |
| | winning the sports car league in the championship game |
| | mode (a console version only feature) will unlock the |
| | car. The same is NOT true of the race in "Fairplay" |
| | [Part 2]. |
| | |
| | The final method involves either downloading a profile |
| | that has the car unlocked or doing a little modding to |
| | replace another car's file with that of the 2300. There |
| | are numerous guides online for doing this, but I |
| | personally will not elaborate further on modding. |
| | |
| | The excessively lengthy notes about this car should make |
| | it quite obvious just how complicated it can be to get. |
| | If you look over your Freeride vehicle list and see that |
| | you're missing the 2300, unless it really is meaningful |
| | to you, I'd advise not bothering with it. Sure, it's a |
| | good racecar, but it's really just not that important. |

| Notes | Despite its slow speed, massive size, and terrible |
| | handling, the firetruck actually has some advantages. |
| | Collisions with other cars usually end up with them |
| | thrown across the street, and you only a few feet from |
| | the point of impact. Because of its massive size and |
| | weight, the firetruck can take quite a beating. |
| | |
| | One note about this car's top: Although the Firetruck |
| | does not actually have a roof, it does not seem possible |
| | (or at least likely) for Tommy to be killed from the car |
| | landing upside down. For one, that would require you to |
| | flip a multi-ton behemoth of a vehicle. Even if you |
| | managed to do that, the high back of the truck would |
| | serve as a roll-bar, preventing Tommy's head from getting |
| | ground into the pavement. |

Prototypes (19 models) - Unlocked one at a time by beating challenge missions
in the Freeride Extreme game mode
- Manta Prototype
- Bolt-Thrower
- HotRod
- Black Dragon 4WD
- Mutagen FWD
- Flamer
- Masseur
- Masseur Taxi

- Hillbilly 5.1 FWD
- Flower Power
- Flame Spear 4WD
- Manta Taxi FWD
This eclectic collection of vehicles is quite diverse, to say the least. These
cars range from the nearly normal to the utterly fantastic. With the exception
of the Flame Spear 4WD and Flamer (which are acquired together), each car is
unlocked individually by completing a challenge in Freeride Extreme. This means
that the formatting above is technically incorrect, as each car should have its
own entry.
More important, however, are the cars themselves. Unlike most other groups in
the game, the prototypes do not share common statistics, and almost every model
is completely different and unique. The following information describes some of
the most interesting vehicles in Mafia.
One note: Do not pay too much attention to the listed maximum speeds, as almost
every prototype car can far exceed them.

| Notes | One of the most unusual looking cars in Mafia, the Manta |
| | Prototype is quite a sight to behold. But bizarre |

| | Not only is it powerful enough to break 100 mph, but the |

| | fishtailing a little bit. Finally, its unique design is |

| | simply, the car goes fast...really fast. That's pretty |

| | car. There's only one vehicle in the entire game that can |

| | Also, as a bit of a bonus, the car is marked as a taxi, |

| Notes | With bright blue flames and a massive blower erupting |
| | from its hood, the Flamer is undoubtedly a hotrod. Its |
| | massive horsepower allows the featherweight car to break |
| | 100 mph in a matter of seconds. And even though it |
| | handles a little sluggishly, it doesn't suffer from the |
| | fishtailing that you might expect. One final note: Don't |
| | be fooled by the Flamer's roll-bars, they're purely |
| | cosmetic. If you flip the car over, you'll die. |

| Notes | Hands-down the fastest car in the game, the Crazy Horse |
| | is also one of the most uncontrollable. Putting a 340 HP, |
| | 16-cylinder engine into a Bolt Ace Coupe is both a recipe |
| | for speed and a recipe for disaster. Let's just say that |
| | the car lives up to its name; with its tendency to rear |
| | back like a horse, you'll likely be spending as much time |
| | on two wheels as you will on four. Also, if you get into |
| | a high-speed collision, the car is likely to slip into a |
| | frenzied spin best described as a vehicular breakdance. |
| | All these difficulties aside, if you can manage to |
| | actually control it, the Crazy Horse is simply unmatched |
| | by anything else on the road. |

| Notes | The Disorder 4WD is very similar to the Flamer in both |

| | in statistics, from simply driving the two, you'd think |
| | the only difference was the paintjob and the soft-top |
| | roof. Like the Flamer, the Disorder 4WD is a relatively |

| Available After | Freeride Extreme Challenge 15: "Led (Dropping) Zeppelin" |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| Notes | The Black Metal 4WD is unlike any other car in the game. |
| | Originally a Schubert Extra Six Tudor, the vehicle was |
| | covered in bulletproof siding and a massive plow was |
| | attached to the front. Unfortunately, the turret added to |
| | the roof is purely cosmetic. Regardless, the end result |
| | is a 7000 kg machine that is truly best defined as a |
| | tank. Even though its top speed is nowhere near that of |
| | the other prototypes, the Black Metal remains an amazing |
| | machine, though for different reasons. Because it weighs |
| | so much, this car can smash through anything with |
| | relative ease. Even massive Bolt trucks and firetrucks |
| | are no match for the kinetic energy released by a 7000 kg |
| | slab of metal slamming into them. |
| | |
| | In Freeride mode, you can have the entire police force |
| | and a dozen enemy gangsters on your tail, no problem. |
| | You'll find that not only is their gunfire ineffective, |
| | but their attempts to run you off the road are completely |
| | useless against a vehicle five times their weight. In |
| | fact, colliding with other vehicles at high speed will |
| | send them flying to the side of the road, often killing |
| | their driver, while you emerge with, at most, a few |
| | points of damage. |
| | |
| | While going about your mad rampage around the city, there |
| | are really only a handful of ways that the Black Metal |
| | 4WD can be stopped. Most notably, since it is slow, |
| | police or gangsters do have a chance of pulling you out |
| | of the vehicle. To prevent this, just make sure you avoid |
| | stopping at all costs. If you need to change direction, |
| | perform a wide U-turn; do not stop and make a three-point |
| | turn. Also, although the car is completely covered in |
| | armor, there are two very small slits in the windows from |
| | which Tommy can extend his arm to do drive-bys. However, |
| | if you do this, there is a chance that someone will land |
| | a lucky shot on your arm, causing you to lose health. |
| | Basically, you're better off just ramming people. Keep |
| | your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. |
| | Finally, there is always a chance that you will flip your |
| | car over in such a way that it cannot be righted. There |
| | isn't much you can do to avoid this other than straying |
| | away from jumps or falls that look like they could roll |
| | you over. |

- Data Table -
--------------
Just as with the weapons, I've compiled all the data from this section into a
condensed form. Once again, heavy abbreviation is the only way to fit the
information into the narrow margins of this document. The "translations," if
you will, are as follows:
Wt = Weight (in kilograms, kg)
Pw = Power (in horsepower, HP)
MS = Maximum speed (in miles per hour, mph)
C = Number of cylinders in the engine
SVol = Swept [engine] volume (in cubic centimeters, ccm)
G = Number of gears in the transmission ("p" means operated by pedal, "m" means
mechanical)
S = Seating (number of seats)
T = Top (hard = "H" ; soft = "S" ; none = "N")
Colors:
- B = Blue
- Be = Beige
- Bl = Black
- Br = Brown
- Db = Dark Blue
- G = Green
- Gr = Gray
- O = Orange
- R = Red
- S = Silver
- U = Umber
- V = Violet
- W = White
- Y = Yellow
UL: Unlock - Number of the mission after which the car is unlocked for use in
Freeride (e.g. "3" is Molotov Party, "10" is Omerta, etc.). "I" means
The car is initially unlocked, i.e. as soon as you create your profile.
Also, it is assumed that the Lucas Bertone side-mission is being
undertaken, if applicable. Finally, for cars unlocked through Freeride
Extreme, a "C" will denote that the mission in question is an FRE
challenge rather than a normal game mission. For example, "C14."
Furthermore, I've also put the column titles above their abbreviations at the
top of the table for easier reference. And finally, asterisks appearing to the
right of a particular model refer to a note at the end of the table.

Please note the following exceptions in the table above:
* The Falconer line of cars is normally unlocked by completing Mission 8: "The
Whore/The Priest." However, it can be made available earlier. In "Molotov
Party," take the Falconer found at the Morello Bar and drive back to Salieri's
to unlock the cars ahead of time. Also, the Falconer Yellowcar is actually
"unlocked" from the start of the game. Check each car's notes for more
information.
* Both the Firetruck and the Lassiter V16 Charon do not have roofs. However,
their high backs serve as roll bars, so it is unlikely that you will be killed
from flipping them over.
* The Caesar 8C 2300 Racing is supposed to be unlocked by completing Freeride
Extreme Challenge 19: "Gone in 60 Seconds." However, this does not always seem
to work. Check the the vehicle's notes for more information.
* The Mutagen FWD appears to have a seating capacity of four, but the rear
doors are purely cosmetic and are actually inaccessible.
* Finally, as noted earlier, for cars with more than one available color, the
last option is never available for selection from the Freeride menu. Assuming
the car is common, it can still be found driving around the city in that color,
it just can't be chosen as the player's starting car. This does mean, however,
that cars such as the green Carrozella C-Otto 4WD are effectively undrivable,
at least without some editing/modding.

- Neighborhoods/Regions -
-------------------------
WORKS QUARTER
The Works Quarter encompasses the southwestern part of the city. It is the
main industrial district of Lost Heaven, and as such, is filled with many large
factories and warehouses. There are tram/trolley lines running throughout the
neighborhood, but the passenger train line only has a turnaround at Winslet
avenue (which is arguably part of Little Italy). On the southeast bank of the
West River is the Harbor (important in "You Lucky Bastard"). To the north is
Little Italy. If one continues west from the Works Quarter, there is an exit to
the racing circuit. Heading east, the West Marshall bridge leads over the river
to Central Island. Also, there's a gas station one block north of this bridge.
Little of the game takes place in this sector, but it's important to be
familiar with it for the few missions that do, such as "Fairplay" and "Just for
Relaxation."
LITTLE ITALY
Probably the most important thing about Little Italy is that it's home to
Salieri's bar: your base of operations. As a result, you will drive through it
quite frequently, and become familiar with the surroundings. For reference,
there is a tram line throughout the area and a passenger train stop one block
east of the Salieri Bar. To the north is Chinatown and to the south is the
Works Quarter. To the east, you can take the Central Island Tunnel to reach
Central Island (duh).
CHINATOWN
This relatively small neighborhood is north of Little Italy. It has minor tram
access and no passenger train stops. If you can't seem to get there, be aware
that the area is closed off in the first few missions as will as in "city-
small" in Freeride. Once it opens, you can also make your way over to northern
New Ark by way of the Terranova Bridge. A few parts of the game take place in
this area (for example, "Better Get Used to It"), but beyond that, there isn't
much of interest in Chinatown.
CENTRAL ISLAND
This is the main business sector in the city of Lost Heaven, filled with many
notable landmarks and memorable characters. Central Island has a very
large tram system and two passenger train stops. There is also has a gas
station one block north of the Central Island passenger train station. To the
northwest, the Central Island Tunnel will take you to Little Italy. To the
southwest, the West Marshall Bridge will take you to the Works Quarter. To the
northeast, the Giuliano Bridge will take you to New Ark. Finally, to the
southeast, the East Marshall Bridge will take you to Downtown. It's worth
noting that the main street running down Central Island is one of the longest
straightaways in the city, allowing you to reach very high speeds. However, the
tram tracks often flip your car if you hit them at a strange angle. It's
better to stay off to one side and just avoid traffic in your lane.
NEW ARK
In the northeastern region of Lost Heaven lies New Ark. It connects to
Chinatown via the Terranova Bridge and to Central Island via the Giuliano
Bridge. It has a tram system and a passenger train stop at New Ark station
(about one block northwest of the Giuliano Bridge). Lucas Bertone's auto
service shop is also here, under the Giuliano Bridge. If you need to leave the
city, the road to the northeast leads out to the countryside. This route will
take you right to the airport, and farther along, the Clark Motel. Finally,
note that between New Ark and Downtown, it's hard to determine where one ends
and the other begins.
DOWNTOWN
South of New Ark and east of Central Island (via the East Marshall Bridge)
lies Downtown. Like you would expect from the downtown area of any city, it
is bustling with people and business. However, there is little to note about
this area. If you need to fill your tank, there is a gas station below the
overpass into Oakwood. The Downtown region also has a large tram system and one
passenger train stop to the north ("Downtown").
HOBOKEN
East of New Ark and northeast of Downtown is the neighborhood of Hoboken. It
has tram lines around its perimeter, a passenger train stop at Central Hoboken
and a turnaround at Market Avenue. The area is quite small, but still packed
full of interesting locales. In addition, the path from the northeastern most
corner all the way down that main street is one of the longest, straightest
roads in the game. Driving that route has the potential to get you going really
fast in the right car. In fact, this is the only way to jump the East River
(Freeride Extreme only).
OAKWOOD
Oakwood is a residential sector for the suburban, upper-middle class family.
Unfortunately for you, there is very little to do in the neighborhood. It has
no tram or passenger train access, so you better get a car if you want to get
around quickly. Also, Tommy's house is located here, in the southwest block
(Freeride Extreme only).
OAK HILL
Commonly referred to as the millionaire's quarter, Oak Hill is the most
scenic and grandiose area in Lost Heaven. It is also the easternmost place in
the city. Though the neighborhood itself is quite small, it's thoroughly
populated by massive mansions. As it sits so high up on the cliff, Oak Hill is
difficult and time consuming to reach. Coming from Hoboken, the road is
relatively short, but extremely steep. The average car won't be able
to break 20 mph going up the hill, especially with traffic. The road from
Oakwood is less steep, but is a long series of winding switchbacks which
finally reach the southwest corner of Oak Hill. The mission "Visiting Rich
People" takes place here, as do some missions involving the theft of valuable
cars (such as the Lassiter Appolyon). Finally, it goes without saying that
there are no tram or passenger train tracks in Oak Hill.

----------------------
- Specific Locations -
----------------------
In lieu of a better system, these locations are simply ordered alphabetically.
Airport:
North of New Ark but south of the Clark motel lies the airport. This very
large and expansive area is visited during the mission "Omerta" and may be a
destination during the mission "Creme de la Creme." (see the mission
walkthrough for more information).
Art Gallery:
At the very bottom (south end) of Central Island is the city art museum. It is
where Tommy finds the informant Little Tony ("Omerta") and where the mission
"The Death of Art" takes place.
Bar Pompeii:
Bar Pompeii is a fairly unremarkable establishment. In "The Running Man," you
will have to take a passenger here. Later, you'll collect protection money from
the bar in "Ordinary Routine."
Carlo's house:
In the Works Quarter, not far from Salieri's bar (in Little Italy) is Carlo's
house. Tommy travels here to kill in "Bon Appetite!"
Church:
A block or so east of Hotel Corleone lies the church. Tommy fights here during
Bobby's funeral in "The Priest."
Clark Motel:
A small motel north of the Airport - It is involved in "Ordinary Routine."
There is also a gas station next to the motel. However, it's just for show, and
won't actually fill up your tank (Freeride mode).
Doctor's house:
The Salieri family doctor lives in a house near central Oakwood. Tommy and
Paulie take Sam there after he's hurt in "A Trip to the Country."
Farm:
This farm can be found north of Chinatown. Tommy, Paulie, and Sam attempt to
get some Canadian whiskey from this area, though not without some resistance in
"A Trip To The Country."
First National Bank:
In the northern Downtown area is the Lost Heaven First National Bank. Tommy
takes a trip there to retrieve account books in "Omerta" and to "make a
withdrawal" in "Moonlighting."
Gas stations:
There are four gas stations in Lost Heaven. One is near Carlo's house and the
West Marshall Bridge. Another is a block north of the Central Island passenger
train station. One is below the overpass that leads to Oakwood. The final one
is next to the Clark Motel (though it doesn't actually work - see "Clark Motel"
entry).
Harbor:
The Harbor is located in the southwest part of the Works Quarter. You'll find
yourself here during "You Lucky Bastard!" and "Just for Relaxation."
Hospital:
In Northern New Ark, right next to the Terranova Bridge, lies the hospital.
Though only minor in the story missions, it's very useful in Freeride, where it
will heal you fully for only $1000.
Hotel Corleone:
About two blocks north of the East Marshall Bridge (Downtown) is Hotel
Corleone. This is the setting for the mission "The Whore."
Lighthouse:
South of Oak Hill and east of Oakwood, at the farthest southeast point of Lost
Heaven, you can find the lighthouse. In Freeride, it has a bonus silver
Fletcher parked outside. In Freeride extreme, it will show you the location of
another challenge. In either mode, it is a useful place to avoid the police, as
they will often drive off the cliff into the waters of the Saint Paul Coast.
Lucas Bertone's Auto Service:
Under the Giuliano Bridge (New Ark/Downtown side) lies Lucas' auto service
shop. He frequently tasks Tommy with side-missions involving personal favors
and the theft of high end cars. In Freeride, he will repair your vehicle for
$2000.
Morello's Bar:
In central New Ark is the bar of Salieri's rival: Don Morello. This is a
location used in the mission "Molotov Party."
Municipal Building:
The Municipal Building is a good landmark for finding your way around Lost
Heaven. Located at the southern end of Central Island, this structure is the
starting location in "The Running Man" and a destination in "Fairplay" [Part
2]. In Freeride Extreme, there are also a couple challenges that involve the
area near this building.
Palmero Club:
This abandoned club can be found in northeastern Hoboken. Tommy and Paulie
escape here with the stolen money in "Moonlighting." Other than that, it's
really not that important.
Party Steamer Boat:
This locale only exists for the mission "Happy Birthday!" It can be boarded
from the docks at the south end of Central Island.
Paulie's Apartment:
Like Sarah, Paulie lives only a few blocks away from the Salieri Bar. Tommy
visits his apartment in "Moonlighting" and "The Death of Art."
Pepe's Restaurant:
Tommy dines with, and protects Don Salieri at Pepe's Restaurant during the
mission "Bon Appetit!" For reference, it's located in western New Ark.
Prison:
Located at the northern end of Central Island, the prison facility serves as a
sniping spot for Tommy in "Election Campaign."
Public Prosecutor's Villa:
In Oak Hill - the neighborhood of the wealthy - the Morello-allied public
prosecutor lives in his mansion. Tommy is sent there to steal incriminating
evidence in "Visiting Rich People."
Racing Circuit:
Found by taking the road west from the southwest part of the Works Quarter, the
Lost Heaven Racing Circuit is used in both parts of the mission "Fairplay."
Salieri Bar:
Salieri's Bar - the center of operations for most missions - is located in the
middle of Little Italy.
Salieri's Warehouse:
This warehouse can be found in the northeast corner of Hoboken (right along the
railroad tracks). Salieri's goods are stored here, and this building is used
for a few missions, such as "A Trip to the Country" and "Just for Relaxation."
Sarah's Apartment:
Only blocks away from the Salieri bar is Sarah's apartment. Tommy escorts her
home, through the back alleys and thugs, during the mission "Sarah."
Service Station:
In the eastern part of Chinatown is the small service station where a rival
gang was beginning to take roots. Tommy and Paulie go to take them down in
"Better Get Used to It."
Theater:
In northeastern Central Island is the Lost Heaven Theater. This is a taxi
destination in "The Running Man," and is also the location of a failed
assassination attempt in "Creme de la Creme."
Tommy's House:
Though Tommy's home is only available in the Free Ride Extreme mode, it's quite
a nice residence. Situated in southern Oakwood, This house sports a door that
saves the game, an infinite health cabinet, and a large lot to store rare and
exotic cars.
Twister:
Behind this theater in eastern Hoboken lies Yellow Pete's gunshop. Here you can
buy an array of weapons, most of which are not offered by Vincenzo. The theater
itself is of no importance.

- Basic Mission Structure -
---------------------------
While Mafia is a deep and lengthy gaming experience, the developers wisely
divided the game into a series of missions. Not only does this format give the
game a strong sense of organization, but it helps to keep the player from being
overwhelmed. Although the game's 20 missions cover a broad range of activities,
they all share a similar underlying structure. When playing, it helps to
understand this system.
Most missions begin with a briefing from Don Salieri in the back room of the
bar. After getting a basic idea of your objectives, you will head out into the
car lot behind the bar. Next, you will check in with Vincenzo (weapons) and/or
Ralph (cars) to get properly equipped for the mission at hand. After heading
out into the city, you will almost always have to drive to your destination.
In most cases, the bulk of the mission takes place at this point. Fairly often,
something goes awry, and you end up having to take care of business. Whether
this means a car chase, an ambush, or just some fast talking, things rarely go
exactly as planned.
Once you've completed the main goal of the mission, you're usually instructed
to return to the Salieri Bar. However, you're frequently given the option to
stop by Lucas Bertone's on the way back. If you complete the small task he
gives you, you'll be taught how to unlock some of the nicest cars in the city,
and even be pointed in the direction of one you can steal. After returning to
the bar, you'll move on to the next mission.
Understand that this is merely a basic outline; there are certainly exceptions.
Most notably, the first two and final two missions deviate significantly from
this format. Other chapters may only include parts of this structure. Still,
it's a good idea to understand how the game is laid out and how the missions
are organized.
[09-CRC]
--------------------------
- Choosing the Right Car -
--------------------------
Transportation is a major part of Mafia. Nearly every mission involves you
traveling somewhere far away from the Salieri Bar. With a few exceptions, the
game doesn't just transport you to the action zone; you have to get there
yourself. Furthermore, Lost Heaven is a large and realistic city. It's not
just a few blocks and a parking lot; it's a massive environment with miles of
roads, alleys, dirt paths, medians, bridges, ramps, hills, houses, skyscrapers,
stores, and everything else found in a city. Due to the size of Lost Heaven and
the nature of your missions, you'll be forced to provide your own
transportation to many of your destinations. For the most part, you'll be using
cars.
First off, remember that this is the 1930s. These cars are not supercharged. In
fact, most have difficulty breaking 50 mph. Keep this in mind, and don't expect
too much from your vehicles. Every car in the game can get you from point A to
point B. However, given what most of the missions involve, it's often more like
going from A to B while being shot at, then from B to C while being run off the
road, and finally back to A while trying to chase down a fleeing enemy.
When considering cars, there are some basic things that you should pay
attention to in order to arrive at your destination safely and in a timely
manner. Here, I'm going to outline five of the most fundamental considerations
when choosing the best car for the job. If you want more information about a
specific vehicle, I suggest looking in the "Cars" section of this guide.
1. Power and speed: As already discussed, most of these cars from the 1930s are
quite weak, and take a while to reach their top speeds. They also can take a
while to start up, even requiring a few turns of the key. Still, there is a
rather large range of vehicles available, and a few of these do perform
reasonably well. Often choosing a merely mediocre car over a truly pathetic one
can be the difference between success and failure in a mission.
2. Size and Shape: The size and shape of a vehicle may prevent you from going
through extremely narrow alleyways, or may simply make it more difficult to
weave in and out of traffic. Take this into consideration if the mission you're
undertaking involves chase sequences. Also, the size (actually, the capacity)
is another important factor. If you have to take yourself and two other
gangsters somewhere, you can't very well take a two-seater (Tudor) car. Be
aware of what passengers you may have, and accommodate accordingly.
3. Weight: Although driving a large car can be problematic for agile
maneuvering (see above), it's not without its advantages. One such benefit is
that most large cars are also quite heavy. When pursuing a fleeing enemy, a
heavy car can allow you to push your foe off the road with ease. While small,
lightweight vehicles may be able to dart in and out of traffic, a multi-ton
behemoth can often just plow right through. Driving a heavy car can also be
advantageous if YOU'RE the one being chased. Enemies will have a much harder
time pushing you off the road when your car weighs twice as much as theirs.
4. Steering (Rear/Front/All Wheel Drive): Unlike many modern cars that have
front or all wheel drive, nearly all of the cars in the 1930s had a rear wheel
drivetrain. As a result, their handling isn't as steady as cars you may be used
to. That said, a few vehicles (such as the Thor group) are Front Wheel Drive,
and have names that indicate this (e.g. "Thor 810 Sedan FWD").
5. Roof: While a car's roof may seem to be inconsequential compared to what
under it's hood, I assure you that's not the case. During hectic driving
sequences, it's quite likely that your car will be overturned. If you're in a
car with a soft-top or no roof at all, a roll-over will kill Tommy instantly.
Clearly, this means that a hard-top car is preferable, at least when you have a
choice. But sometimes the fastest car at your disposal has little more than a
windshield to protect you. At that point, you may have a tough decision on your
hands. Also realize that this weakness works both ways. If you're being pursued
by enemies in a soft-top car, try to flip their vehicle to take them all out in
a split second.

- Driving Tips -
----------------
While the previous section addressed the varying characteristics of the many
cars in the game, this section will describe some helpful techniques for
actually driving them.
NAVIGATION
- Map: Easily the most useful feature in the game, the map shows you a
detailed depiction of Lost Heaven, including your current location and
destination (marked by a yellow arrow and blue cross, respectively).
Press Tab at any time to bring up this helpful guide.
- Compass: While the map and compass go hand in hand, the later is not
quite as useful a device as the former. Quite simply, the compass always
points in the direction of your destination. It does not outline a route
for you, nor does it take obstacles into account. As a result, it's quite
possible that you'll end up facing a dead end or body of water, while the
compass stubbornly directs you forward. Honestly, it's much easier to use
the map and make a route for yourself. The compass is really only useful
for finding your destination when you're within a few blocks (at which
point, the map isn't precise enough to get the job done).
- Radar: Every car in Mafia has a built in radar system. Now is not the
time to point out historical inaccuracies, because this particular
anachronism happens to be quite useful. The device will display your car
as a white rectangle in the center, and all other vehicles around you in
different colors:
White: Your car (in the center), or an unlocked car - Since all
pedestrians lock their cars, another white rectangle on the radar
is likely a car that you stole and left parked, one in the Salieri
garage, or a hidden Freeride car.
Green: A standard civilian car, driving or parked (they're always
locked)
Blue: A police car - Currently at a non-hostile status
Orange: A gangster car - Currently at a non-hostile status
(Freeride only)
Red: Either a gangster or police car at a hostile status - Even a
cop just trying to give you a ticket counts as "hostile."
Yellow: A tram (see the next section, "Public Transportation," for
more information)
Red X: This is your current destination (seen as a blue X on the
map). Depending on the circumstances, it may be static (e.g. a
building) or in motion (e.g. an enemy car).
NORMAL DRIVING
- Speed limiter: By pressing the speed limiter button (Default: F5 key),
a small warning sign with a large "40" will appear over your speedometer.
This will prevent you from driving over 40 mph (the speed limit). If
you're not doing a timed mission, or if you're not in a hurry, I'd advise
using this, because it will reduce the frequency and seriousness of your
collisions and it will prevent the police from ticketing you for
speeding.
- Transmission: Realistically, automatic transmission would not have been
available for more than a few models of cars in the 1930s. However, since
accessibility is an important part of any videogame, every car you can
drive in Mafia has both automatic and manual transmission. Even better,
you can freely switch between the two while driving (Default: M key).
If you really want to focus on something in-game (other than shifting),
don't know how to drive stick, or are simply lazy, automatic is your best
bet. This will have the transmission automatically shift itself at a
reasonably appropriate time.
If you want to decrease the time it takes for you to accelerate, or to
have that extra level of control, drive manual. Use the clutch button
(Default: X key) to hold in the clutch, then use shift up and shift down
(Default: Z and A keys) to change gears. Remember to use your tachometer
to judge when it's best to shift. It also doesn't hurt to be familiar
with the car you're driving.
- Camera: There are six camera angles from which you can view your car
while driving. You can cycle between them by pressing the change camera
view button (default: C key):
1. Default Camera - A close camera following from behind the car
2. This camera angle pulls back slightly from the first one.
3. This camera angle pulls back dramatically from the first two.
This perspective is recommended if you're driving a large
vehicle that obscures your vision (such as a truck).
4. Inside the driver seat camera, but with no dashboard, wheel or
any part of your actual car
5. Inside the driver seat camera - This is the most realistic;
you'll see everything Tommy would, and from his perspective.
6. This perspective has the camera mounted along the left front
tire. This angle isn't recommended for driving, but perhaps for
precision parking...I don't really use it much, and chances are
you won't either.
You can easily cycle through these camera views to chose one that you
like in general, or for a specific situation. In addition, you can use
the look right and look left keys (Default: . and , keys) to look right
and left, or hold them down together to look behind you. Finally, if you
left-click with no weapon equipped, you'll be able to freely move the
camera using the mouse.
- Gasoline: While you will leave the Salieri Bar with a full tank of gas,
you can empty it by driving for extended periods of time, damaging your
engine, or stealing a different car (one that was low to begin with). At
this point, you'll need to get a different ride, or go fill up at a gas
station. Be sure to check your gas gauge once in a while, just in case.
More information can be found in the "Freeride" section.
ADVANCED DRIVING
- Handbrake: By using the handbrake (Default: Spacebar), you can stop
your car's motion much faster than by using your normal brakes. While
this is effective for near-collision situations under 40 mph, as the
speed increases, so does the danger. At high speeds, the handbrake will
cause you to lose control of steering altogether, and if you try to turn,
you risk spinning out or even flipping over.
- Horn: By pressing the horn (Default: K key) you will honk. The specific
sound effect that plays depends on the vehicle you're driving. Believe it
or not, the horn is more than just a tool for venting your rage at other
motorists. If you're driving faster than 40 mph (the speed limit),
honking your horn will make other drivers pull off the road, or at least
try to veer out of your way. However, don't assume that it will clear a
path for you.
Let's say that you are going 60 mph, dramatically over the speed limit,
and rapidly closing in on the car in front of you. You intend to pass on
the right. However, if you honk when you're directly behind the car, it
has a 50% of pulling over to the left and a 50% of pulling over to the
right, the latter of which would result in a collision. When using the
horn, always aim to the left or the right of the vehicle to avoid them
accidentally swerving INTO you instead of away from you.
COMBAT DRIVING
- Drive-by Shooting: With a handgun equipped, left click once to open the
window and extend your arm. At this point, you can use the mouse to aim
and fire normally. Although it may seem like it has potential, the drive-
by feature really isn't that useful. Since you can only use handguns, you
don't have the ability to spray gunfire, meaning that you need to be
fairly accurate. It's quite difficult to do this, however, while speeding
down the road at 70 mph. Using drive-bys on other cars is slightly more
effective, since they're a larger target and should be moving closer to
your speed. However, other combat techniques, such as ramming, usually
prove to be more effective. Note that if you are in the passenger seat,
you can also use a Thompson or either of the shotguns to perform drive-
bys. You still can't use melee weapons, the Springfield or Mosin-Nagant,
though.
- Car Chase, Type A: More than a few times throughout the game, you'll
find yourself trying to make a hasty retreat with a bunch of gangsters
(or cops) on your tail. While you might be tempted to start shooting (see
above), this isn't recommended. Stick to focusing on the road and shaking
your pursuers. By far the most effective technique is to "shave off" the
enemies on some nearby object. As you'll undoubtedly notice, your foes
like to pull up alongside you in an attempt to run you off the road
and/or turn your car into Swiss cheese. When they move into position,
head towards a lamp pole, oncoming car, or tram. If you do it correctly,
you will just scrape by, while your pursuers will slam into the object at
full speed. It shouldn't take more than a couple of these maneuvers to
put the enemies out of commission. Finally, there are a few circumstances
in which the best strategy is actually to exit your vehicle and kill all
your pursuers with traditional weaponry, then continue on your way.
- Car Chase, Type B: While the first couple missions get you accustomed
to driving frantically, trying to avoid pursuit, sometimes the tables are
turned. Every once in a while, you'll be in a car chase where YOU get to
do the chasing. Again, resist the temptation to pull out a gun and start
shooting; it won't do you much good and will probably alert the police.
Instead, use the same aggressive driving techniques as your foes: push,
ram, and try to force a spin-out. If you have a passenger, they'll take
care of the gunplay. Also, be aware of the eventual outcome. Certain
chases are meant for you to kill your targets (e.g. "Ordinary Routine"
and "Better Get Used to It"), while others are just a transition sequence
leading you to a new area (e.g. "Omerta," "You Lucky Bastard!" and "Creme
de la Creme"). Even with the ones where you are intended to succeed (i.e.
kill someone), don't worry if you can't force the car off the road.
Chances are, if you stay on them long enough, they'll crash of their own
accord. Then just get out of your car and finish them off yourself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[09-PUB]
-------------------------
- Public Transportation -
-------------------------
While cars will get you through most of the missions in Mafia, the public
transportation system is arguably just as useful. Lost Heaven has both public
trams and passenger train lines available for use all around the city.
Trams: The tram lines are marked as yellow lines on the map (and the trams
themselves are yellow rectangles on your radar). The trams will stop every
few blocks, where they will chime a bell. You can get on by pressing action
when near one of the doors. As useful as trams are, they are never featured in
any of the game's missions. Anyway, here are some other notes about trams:
-When inside a tram, you will be able to fire weapons, but you won't be
able to see them (you're in a first person view).
-You can only exit the tram when it is stopped.
-If you kill the driver (either while in the tram, or from the street)
the tram will instantly stop.
-By killing the driver, trams will back up on the line behind the stopped
one.
-If you or any other person gets hit by a moving tram (while on foot)
you/they will die instantly.
Passenger train: The passenger train makes scheduled stops at a few select
stations throughout Lost Heaven. Unlike the tram, the wait time may be quite
long, and there is no driver for you to kill. The passenger train is only used
once in the story missions (during "Moonlighting").
Tram and passenger train lines run throughout Lost Heaven, but only in certain
areas:
Central Island: Tram lines through the center and left side; passenger
train line with two stops ("Central Island" and "Giuliano Street")
Chinatown: Tram lines along the southern border only; no passenger train
Downtown: Tram lines throughout; passenger train line with one stop
("Downtown")
Hoboken: Tram lines mostly along the borders; passenger train line with
two stops ("Central Hoboken" and "Market Avenue"[turnaround])
Little Italy: Tram lines through the center; passenger train line with
one stop ("Little Italy")
New Ark: Tram lines throughout; passenger train line with one stop ("New
Ark")
Oakwood: No tram lines; no passenger train lines
Oak Hill: No tram lines; no passenger train lines
Works Quarter: Tram lines throughout (with a turnaround near the racing
course exit); passenger train line with one stop ("Winslet Avenue"
[turnaround])
For more information on these areas, scroll up to "The City of Lost Heaven"
section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[09-POL]
-------------
- The Police-
-------------
The police force of the city of Lost Heaven is extremely efficient at taking
down an aspiring criminal such as yourself. The police's interference in your
actions have quite a bit to do with your play style. If you chose to go
whatever speed you like, kill whoever you feel like killing, and essentially do
whatever you want, you're going to attract tons of attention from the police.
Alternatively, if you always use the speed limiter, stop at red lights and for
pedestrians, and don't kill people unless you need to, you shouldn't be hassled
much by the police. However, at certain times throughout the story, you will
unavoidably have to deal with the police, or do things that will attract their
attention. Therefore, regardless of play style, you should be well informed of
their capabilities and limitations.
____________________________
/ /
/ P O L I C E S T A T E S /
/ /_________________________________________________
/_____________________________________________________________________________/
These states can be seen at the top center of the screen when the police want
to ticket/arrest/kill you. Otherwise, nothing is shown there.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINOR OFFENSES
These result in a ticket icon appearing at the top of the screen. In the story
mode, simply stop and get out of your car. Let the cop ticket you, as it will
do nothing except waste a little of your time. In Freeride mode, you will have
to pay $1000 for the ticket, but it's still not much of a problem. Note that if
you get four tickets in a row, you will be wanted for arrest (see next section
(major offenses)).
Minor Offenses - Results in ticket ($1000 in Freeride)
- Speeding above 40 mph (but under 70 mph)
- Running red lights
- Lightly colliding with another car (minor fender-bender)
- Lightly colliding with a pedestrian (while driving)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR OFFENSES
These result in a handcuffs icon appearing at the top of the screen. In any
mode, if you are caught by the cops, it's game over, so avoid this at all
costs. If you remain at this state for an extended period of time, the cops
will call in backup and a wanted bar will appear (more on this later). However,
take note that the cops will not fire at you when you're wanted for arrest,
though they will ram you with their car. Also, if you run or drive away from a
ticket, but the icon remains for a while, it will change to handcuffs.
Major Offenses - Results in arrest (game over)
- Speeding above 70 mph
- Crashing powerfully into another car
- Killing a pedestrian (by running them over)
- Colliding (even lightly) with a police car
- Avoiding ticket for an extended period of time
- Committing a minor offense for the fourth time
- Showing any weapon (excluding fists and the baseball bat) in public
(i.e. in the view of an officer)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POLICE ASSAULT
In this state, the police will use lethal force with deadly efficiency. When
the Colt 1911 icon appears, they have begun their assault. All police will
begin firing at you with whatever weapons they have available. More police cars
will join the chase, and the passengers will also fire at you. If you get a
wanted bar and try to leave the immediate area, they will set up roadblocks at
every couple intersections with 2-5 cars, many armed cops, and 1-2 spike
strips.
Assault Causes - Results in death (game over)
- Firing a weapon in public, within the view/earshot of a cop (even if
it's not aimed at anyone)
- Colliding powerfully with a police car (varies between major offense
and assault)
- Attacking a cop with weapons
- Killing a cop within the view of another cop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POLICE CONFUSION
This is shown by the icon of a cop with question marks around his head. It
signifies that you have confused/evaded the police, but they still have a
ticket/arrest warrant/death wish for you. This usually occurs if you are wanted
for something, but get out of the sight of a cop, and slip into a different
vehicle. If the cops figure out where you went (e.g. you get out of the car you
"slipped into" right in front of a cop), you return to the police status that
you were beforehand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WANTED BAR
This is a small red bar, located under the police status icon. Essentially, if
the police are on a hostile status towards you, but you avoid capture/death for
an extended period of time, they radio in for backup. While you are wanted, the
police's assault is much larger, with more units sent against you. As long as
you are within view of a cop, the wanted bar will remain at full red. If you
get out if their range, it will slowly decrease, but will instantly fill up
again if another cop sees you. If the police are in a "confused" state, the bar
will constantly decrease, unless they "re-discover" you. However, regardless of
state, the bar can never disappear instantly. You must wait for it to slowly
decrease, even if you're in another car, miles away from any cop. Also worth
noting is that you can get a wanted bar on all the police states except a
ticket. If you evade a ticket for an extended period of time, it simply becomes
an arrest warrant (handcuffs).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/_____________________________________________________________________________/
BEAT COPS
You will see these men in blue calmly pacing up and down the streets.
If they see you commit a crime, they will blow their whistle and chase after
you. If they remain within close proximity of you for a while, you will either
be wanted for arrest (if you originally had a ticket), or get a wanted bar (if
you originally had an arrest warrant or an assault "warrant"). These officers
are predominately armed with the standard S&W Model 10 M&P.
Facing when on foot:
When you're on foot, dealing with the police can be problematic. When
committing a minor or major crime, they will blow their whistles and come
chasing after you. However, unless you are on assault terms, they will enact no
violent actions towards you. They may chase you for hours across the entire
city, but they won't attack you until you attack first. Unfortunately, if they
catch you, it's game over, so don't stand still. Generally speaking, Tommy runs
faster than a police officer. Use this to your advantage: Outrun an officer,
turn into a street where you're out of their sight, and quickly hijack a car.
Assuming they don't see you, the confused cop icon will appear, and you can
leave safely. If you're impatient, you could quickly hijack a car (within their
view), then drive a couple blocks away (out of their view) and hijack a
different car.
If however, you're feeling a little more violent, you can always kill them.
If you chose this method, take out your weapon, but don't fire. Again, they
will chase after you, but not attack until you do. Pull out a powerful weapon
(preferably a shotgun) and stop, then face them. Wait until they're almost
close enough to arrest you, then fire. Continue to shoot until they're dead. Be
careful, as they might fall down, seemingly killed, only to get up again and
shoot you. Assuming there is only one officer in the area and there is no
wanted bar yet, the Colt 1911 icon should disappear the instant your target is
killed. Use this as your indicator. In other words, don't depend on whether or
not the officer "looks dead."
Facing when in a car:
If you're walking around and commit a crime, officers on foot are actually
somewhat of a hindrance. On the other hand, if you're driving, they should
cause you no trouble at all. In this case, they will most likely try to ticket
or arrest you for speeding or running red lights. Unless you're unable to, or
you really don't want to, simply keep going. That's right, just drive right
past them. Unless they are trying to kill you on assault charges, you should be
able to leave them in the dust, even if you're driving a slow car like a
Falconer. Soon the ticket/handcuffs/Colt 1911 icon will be transparent (meaning
you're out of their range) and shortly thereafter, it should disappear
altogether. Even for assault charges, you should drive away quickly, or turn
and run them over if you can.
OFFICERS ON PATROL (driving)
When stationed in a vehicle, two officers will drive in any of the following
cars: Schubert Six Police, Schubert Extra Six Police Fordor, Schubert Extra
Six Police Tudor. They will be carrying the same S&W Model 10 M&Ps as their
comrades on foot, but can also have more devastating weaponry. Often, the
passenger has a pump-action shotgun. These officers are much more dangerous
than beat cops, but also far easier to spot and avoid, if you use the right
tactics.
Facing when on foot:
On foot, you will have serious difficulty dealing with police in cars. The best
strategy is to wait for them to pull over near you (assuming you just committed
a crime), and let them get out. Then proceed to kill them, keeping your
distance, especially if one of them has a shotgun. Try to use their parked car
as cover. This means that you should move to one side of their car, kill the
cop who emerges from that side, but use the car as a barrier between yourself
and the other cop. Then you can slowly circle around to kill him.
Facing when in a car:
At least a few times throughout the game, you will probably be hunted by a
police car for speeding, running red lights, or small collisions. One very
useful feature of the game that allows you to avoid most tickets is your radar.
Unlike officers on foot, who you might not see as you speed past, police cars
are clearly marked as blue rectangles on your radar. If you see one of these
rectangles coming towards you, make sure you're not speeding. Once you're
within 100 or so feet of the car (in front, not behind) you will have entered
their "zone." Within this area, they will be able to "see" your crimes. This
"zone" is between one half and one third of the radius of your radar. To
clarify this, let me give an example.
Let's say that you are speeding, and want to avoid a ticket/arrest. You look at
your radar and see a blue rectangle enter at the very top of the radar coming
towards you. By the time that the blue rectangle gets about half way to YOUR
rectangle (the center of the radar), you need to be going under the speed limit
in order to avoid a ticket. If it's really a big deal to you, slow down
immediately. Use the brake, handbrake, steering, and horn, all to your
advantage to get yourself under the legal limit. If you're going really fast,
do everything in your power to slow down, even stop if you can. Ironically,
though the police will ticket you for going one mile per hour over the limit,
they won't do a thing if you're flipped upside down, facing backwards in, and
blocking the opposite lane of traffic.
Finally, if you have to kill officers in cars, it's advisable that you attempt
to lure them out of their vehicles, as they are very dangerous drivers, and
will run you off the road if you try to take them head-on. They're much more
manageable on foot. If manslaughter is absolutely necessary, the strategies
described above (dealing with officers on patrol while you, the player, are on
foot) should help.

- Wielding Weapons Effectively -
--------------------------------
Other than driving, the activity that you'll probably be doing most frequently
in Mafia is shooting. This game features over a dozen weapons, all of which
you'll use at some point during the course of the story. While some are common,
and others only can be found in a single mission, all weapons have some ability
geared towards taking out your enemies. In short, any idiot can fire a gun, but
you'll need some tips if you hope to stay alive against the mob underworld.
-Know your weapons: Don't go up against a shotgun wielding gangster with a
baseball bat. You should develop a sense of weapon strengths and weaknesses as
you play through the game. For a more comprehensive rundown, check the
"Weapons" section for an in-depth analysis of every weapon available. Also, be
aware that there is no "super weapon"; anything that an enemy can wield, you
can as well, and vice versa.
-Don't waste your bullets: Unlike in many videogames, reloading your gun when
your clip is not empty WILL WASTE any remaining bullets in the clip. However,
don't put yourself in a dangerous situation simply because you want to conserve
ammunition. If you know you're about to enter a massive firefight and you have
one bullet left in your Thompson's clip, just reload. It's better to waste one
bullet now than being forced to reload in the middle of a heated firefight.
-Take cover: A pillar, a wall, a car - When in trouble, put whatever solid
objects you can between yourself and your attacker(s). Even running into a
dense group of people can often shield you from gunfire.
-Make your shots count: You should almost always aim for either the chest or
the head of your enemies. This will ensure the more rapid elimination of your
foes, and a higher survival chance on your part. If however, an enemy is well
protected behind cover, you might not get such a clean shot. Under those
circumstances, just hit what you can (an elbow, a foot, etc.), and it may cause
the gangster to stumble out of his cover, exposing the rest of his body.
-Weigh your opposition: If you have two enemies, one with a rifle, and the
other with a baseball bat, take out the rifle-wielder first. Generally
speaking, the enemies with the strongest or most dangerous weaponry should be
your first-priority targets.
-Loot corpses: Although Mafia is no RPG, those habits you've developed playing
Diablo aren't useless here. For the most part, any weapon that an enemy was
wielding will fall to his feet when he dies. You are capable of picking up and
using these weapons. In certain missions where ammunition is scarce, the extra
clips of a downed foe may be the deciding factor between life or death in the
next shootout.
-Keep track of your weapons: This issue really only presents itself when you're
carrying two large weapons. If this is the case, pulling out a handgun will
drop one of those other guns to the ground. In a heated firefight, this could
easily go completely unnoticed, leaving you crippled for a future engagement.
Of course, there's no inherent problem using handguns when you have two large
weapons. Just remember to pick them up again before you move on. Along the same
lines, be careful that you don't accidentally switch one of your large weapons
for another while trying to pick up something else. There's nothing like
running into a firefight only to discover that you swapped your Thompson for a
sawed-off a few minutes back. Some good advice would be to periodically check
your inventory and make sure that you have all your weapons.
-Watch those reloads: When you reload your weapon, you're almost completely
defenseless. As such, only reload when you have adequate cover, or you know
that no enemy is nearby. At the same time, use this fact to your advantage. Be
on the lookout for enemies who are themselves reloading, and take them out. If
you know the weapons well enough, you can do it just like in the movies, where
you count the number of shots that your enemy fires.
-You're empty!: Unlike in many games, where enemies can keep shooting at you
indefinitely, the gangsters you face in Mafia will actually run out of bullets.
If you're in a tough situation, but have good cover, you can try to lure your
foes into wasting all their ammunition. When they run out, they'll usually
charge at you with their bare fists, making them easy fodder for your firearms.
Just don't let them gang up on you. On the other hand, there are some
situations where you DON'T want them to use up all that ammo. If one gangster
has a particularly good weapon (usually the Thompson) but he wastes all his
ammo, when you eventually kill him and take the gun from his corpse...Well,
it'll be empty.
-Get down, get down, staying alive!: When searching for cover, don't neglect
the crouch feature. You standing up behind a overturned table vs. you crouched
behind it can make the difference of life and death. Crouching also steadies
your aim, which is helpful when targeting distant enemies.
-Don't let up: Using suppressive fire will help you immensely when facing
numerous foes. If you keep firing at an enemy, they will be busy in the
"taking damage" animation, and will be unable to retaliate. The strength of
the suppression is completely up to you. If ammunition is a premium, get your
shots off quickly, but don't sacrifice accuracy for speed. On the other hand,
if you've got 250 rounds for your Thompson, just unload in the enemy's general
direction to keep them pinned down and unable to fire back.
-Take it slow: Perhaps the best advice for combat in this game is to play like
the tortoise, because slow and steady DOES win the race. Since you're rarely
timed during an on-foot segment, there's really no reason to rush. Make small
advances at a time, don't get greedy, and most importantly of all, be patient.
There is always someone with a shotgun hiding around that next corner, just
waiting for your impatience to become your downfall.
-Watch your friends: In missions with other characters accompanying you, figure
out how useful they are as fighters (or if they're completely incapable of
fighting). Provide suppressive fire while they go for the accurate kill shots,
or vice versa. Make sure that you know where they are, and don't accidentally
shoot them in the back, thinking they are an enemy. Watch out for them too; if
they die, you fail the mission.
-Getting your hands dirty: In certain segments of the game, you have to resort
to raw melee combat. The good news is that in these sequences, you're never
expected to take on someone with a gun. The bad news is that you ARE frequently
outnumbered. First off, try to get a good melee weapon. Something like the
baseball bat is ideal. Next, resist the urge to charge up your attacks.
Instead, walk backwards while constantly swinging (no charge). If you're still
getting hurt too much, start running and strafing in circles around your
foe(s). Once your enemies are severely injured, you may want to start using
more powerful (charged) blows.
-Playing it Bogart: There are certain situations where you must navigate around
and interact with people who will easily turn on you if you give them a reason
(e.g. "Just for Relaxation"). Just stay cool and don't arouse their suspicions.
Similarly, don't pull out a weapon just to try to scare them; you'll only blow
your cover.
-Sneaking around: In a few missions, you may be able to sneak up on, or attack
an enemy who is unaware. Don't underestimate the element of surprise. If you're
not the center of attention, you can get a critical kill shot off, even when
surrounded by soon to be enemies (e.g. "Happy Birthday"). Also, don't neglect
the baseball bat and knife, both of which are capable of doing one-hit kills if
you fully charge your swing and attack from behind.
-Keep it holstered: Publicly displaying firearms, even without firing them, is
a crime in Lost Heaven. By whipping out your gun for no good reason, you'll
frighten civilians, possibly even ones you need to talk to, and the police may
come after you. The baseball bat is a wonderful exception to this rule, as you
can freely walk the streets carrying one. As long as you don't start hitting
someone right in front of an officer, the police shouldn't give you any
trouble.
-Persevere: Mafia is a complex enough game that each run-through of a mission
will be slightly different from the last. Because of this, there is always the
chance that one of these times, all the odds will be against you. Once in a
while, you'll just get ripped apart before you can even react. This isn't your
fault, nor is it the result of poor skills on your part. It really boils down
to bad luck. Just try again, and chances are you'll be fine. If repeated
attempts still end in complete and unavoidable failure, it's likely that you're
doing something wrong. As a side note, in Freeride Extreme, success becomes the
exception, not the rule. It'll take not only skill, but also fair amount of
luck to pass some of the mode's more difficult challenges.

An immense thank you to Athawolfus (Cem Gulduren) for the game script. I had
previously attempted to compile something like this myself, but it was simply
too much of an endeavor. I have only retained my own transcripts for the
segments absent from his guide (most notably, the opening credits). Otherwise,
all dialogue and cinematic scripts come from his work. I've attempted to keep
them as they originally appear, so please bear with any small formatting
inconsistencies. In addition to giving him full credit for the cinematic and
dialogue transcripts that appear here, I encourage all of you to view his full
game script at the following website:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/371671/51740
In the interest of clarity ("readability," if you will), I've decided to
exclude minor dialogue from the embedded transcript. Once again, please consult
Athawolfus' far more comprehensive script at the site listed above if you are
interested in this content.

| Overview | This mission is an optional tutorial which will attempt |
| | to familiarize you with the basics of "Mafia." This is |
| | recommended for people who haven't played the game |
| | before, and is practically required if you've never |
| | played a "shooter" at all. The tutorial is very simple |
| | and not very time-consuming to complete. However, it |
| | should give you a fairly good sense of the many aspects |
| | and features of the game, as well as how to utilize them |
| | to complete the missions you are given. Also, this |
| | tutorial is a very objective-rich mission, with a total |
| | of 23 goals to complete. For comparison, most regular |
| | missions have fewer than ten. |
| | Finally, you will notice that I've made the tutorial |
| | walkthrough rather long. For players unfamiliar with |
| | games like Mafia, the tutorial is a great place to |
| | start. But for those who have never even played a |
| | videogame before, even the tutorial may need some |
| | supplementary explanations. |

\=============================================================================/
WALKTHROUGH
As you begin the mission, you will appear in a small corridor. Almost
immediately, you'll hear a voice begin to give you instructions. This voice
will be your guide through the tutorial.
Instructor: Okay, kid, here's where you're gonna learn what it takes to be
a real Mafioso. Every wise guy has a compass in his head, telling him which
way and where to go. So follow your inner compass and go to the stage with
the table on it.
Your compass, in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, will now begin to
flash, showing you which way to go. In addition, a new objective will pop up
in front of you. Also, a message should come up in the bottom left part of the
screen, saying "to look at your tasks, press OBJECTIVES (default: F1 key)."
This is a good thing to remember. At any point throughout the game, you can
press F1 to review what your objectives are.
New Objective (A): Go to the stage in the direction indicated by the compass.
Press forwards, backwards, left and right to move (default: cursor keys). Use
the mouse to turn around and look at your surroundings.
Instructor: Are you sure you're not being followed?
After acclimatizing yourself to your surroundings, feel free to walk or run
around, experimenting with the controls. For a complete list of controls, look
under the options-controls screen, or in the "Default Control Setup" section of
this guide. When you're ready, walk or run forward and then left through the
archway. You will find yourself in a large, open room. You should see a number
of wooden pillars around you, and a table with some cans in front of you.
Explore the room if you wish, but eventually make your way to the stage at the
far end. Once you reach the stage, the guide's voice will again speak to you.
You will also get a new objective.
Instructor: Alright, now climb up on the stage. Be careful not to rip your
suit.
New Objective (B): Stand in front of the stage and press JUMP (Default: 0 on
numpad)
Depending on how your controls are set up, it would be much easier just to use
the "E" key, but whatever, it's your choice. Anyway, climb up on the stage in
this manner. Remember, if you're not next to anything, Tommy will just jump
forward. However, if you're next to an object, he will climb it (if he can).
Once on the stage, you will get a new objective, and more instructions from the
instructor.
Instructor: Well, you got yourself dirty climbing up here anyway, so you
may as well practice a side roll. You're no good to the Don if you get
shot.
New Objective (C): Crouch down by holding CROUCH and press the LEFT or RIGHT
button twice (default: Right CTRL and cursor keys)
Like your objective states, after crouching down, quickly double tap either to
the left or to the right. Tommy will then perform a side roll. This is a very
useful evasive maneuver, and can save your life throughout the game. After
completing your side roll, you will get a new objective, a small talk from the
guide, and then another objective.
New Objective (D): Move to the table
Instructor: Now go to the table. When you're next to the table, the
exclamation mark will appear in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
It's the action button. The action button symbol indicates that you can
perform an action or interact with the environment. Here you can take the
guns from the table. Go on, do it.
New Objective (E): Collect the guns by pressing the ACTION BUTTON (Default:
Right mouse button)
Like the guide said, move towards the table. On top of it, you will see two
pistols: a Colt 1911 and a Colt Detective Special. Also, like the guide said,
you will see an exclamation mark in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
When you right click, you will pick up one of the guns. Take note however,
that if you're in a position where you could take both guns, a small screen
will pop up asking you which one you'd like to pick up. If this is the case,
either click on one, or hit the corresponding number key to pick up that
weapon. Then simply right click again to pick up the other. Once you have both
weapons in your possession, you will get another message.
Instructor: You can perform one more action on the stage. See what you can
find. If you're not sure what you should be doing, you can review your
objectives.
Basically there's one more interaction that you can perform on the stage by
using the action button (right-click by default). Remember that you can check
if an object has a performable action by seeing if the small exclamation mark
appears when you stand nearby. Go ahead and search for the action. It's really
not that hard. If you're unable to find it after a while, the guide will
suggest that you review your objectives.
If you do this (by pressing F1), you will see a new objective that tells you
what to do.
New Objective (F): Speak into the microphone by using the action button.
Once you use the action button next to the microphone, Tommy will speak, and
then you'll get a new objective and another message from the guide.
Tommy: Hello? Is there anyone home?
Instructor: Stop making a fool of yourself. It's time to get on with more
serious business. Choose a weapon from your inventory.
New Objective (G): Open the INVENTORY and select a weapon (Default: I)
Like the objective says, use the I key (unless you changed your controls), to
open your inventory. Choose either the Colt 1911 or Colt Detective Special by
clicking on one of them. You will then get a new message and objective.
Instructor: Let's see how you can handle a gun. Shoot the cans off of the
table.
New Objective (H): Shoot the cans by pressing FIRE (Default: Left mouse
button)
With your gun equipped, you will notice a crosshair in the center of your
screen. This reticule can be customized from the options menu to be a point,
a crosshair, or a point and a crosshair. Assuming you have any of
those options chosen, there should be some sort of a white object in the
center of your screen. That is where Tommy will be aiming when you fire your
weapon. Of course, he isn't an expert marksman, so his shots won't hit
perfectly every time.
Anyway, as you've been instructed to do, shoot the cans. If you're standing,
you have to left click once to raise your weapon, and again to fire. If you're
crouching, your weapon is already raised. Fire off your pistol at the cans. You
can chose to fire rapidly and inaccurately, wasting much of your ammo, or
slowly and precisely (or rapidly and precisely, if you're a good shot). You can
fire from the stage, or from point blank; it really doesn't matter. The point
is that you're getting practice firing a weapon. Anyway, after shooting all
seven of the cans, the instructor will give you another tip, this time about
reloading.
Instructor: Always remember to reload, just in case you get into trouble.
But remember, when you throw away a magazine or empty a chamber that isn't
completely empty, you will lose the unused rounds.
New Objective (I): Reload your gun by pressing RELOAD (Default: L)
Do exactly as you're told: reload your gun. Note that the objective is only
completed if you perform a manual reload. For reference, a manual reload is
when you press the "reload" key, whereas an automatic reload occurs when you
expend all the ammunition from a clip and continue to pull the trigger.
Instructor: You should also be prepared to switch weapons as quickly as
possible.
New Objective (J): Cycle through your weaponry by using CYCLE UP and CYCLE
DOWN (Default: Mouse wheel)
Before you even have time to practice cycling through your weapons, you'll
have to hide them.
Instructor: Just because you are a part of the Mafia doesn't mean that you
can walk around waving a gun. The police will arrest you if they see you
carrying a gun. Hide your weapon now.
New Objective (K): Hide the gun by pressing HIDE (Default: H)
Once you hide your weapon, you will see a message that says "empty hands." This
means that your weapon has been successfully hidden, as Tommy's hands are
empty. Next, the guide will instruct you again.
Instructor: Now take the baseball bat from the table.
New Objective (L): Pick up the baseball bat from the table.
Take a wild guess as to what you're supposed to do...That's right, pick up the
bat from the table. Return to the stage, and on the table where the Colt 1911
and Colt Detective Special were, there is now a baseball bat. Use the action
button to pick it up. The instructor will give you another tip and objective.
Instructor: You can't carry and hide all of the weapons under your coat. If
you have a large weapon like a shotgun hidden but are also carrying another
one and you spot a policeman, you're just gonna have to throw it away to
avoid attention.
New Objective (M): Drop the weapon you're holding by pressing DROP WEAPON
(Default: Backspace)
As soon as you drop it, get ready to pick it right back up again.
Instructor: Okay. You're gonna need that bat, so pick it up again.
New Objective (N): Pick up the baseball bat.
Instructor: The police won't give you any trouble if you are carrying a
bat, even if you might use it to, ehm, say, knock someone out. See that guy
over there? Walk up behind him and knock him out cold, as hard as you can.
New Objective (O): When you hold down the FIRE button, a progress bar will
appear. When the bar is full, you can stun people if you hit them from behind.
Stun that guy over there.
You will notice that there is now a man standing behind the table where you
shot the cans earlier. Run up to him. Don't worry, he has no AI programmed, and
will not attack, or even see you. You can bash him in the face all you want,
but that's not what you've been instructed to do. Instead, circle around behind
him, charge up your swing all the way, and hit him in the back to complete the
objective.
Instructor: Oh-ho! That's gotta hurt! Now, to get around the city you're
gonna need to know how to drive. Walk over to that car.
New Objective (P): Follow the compass and walk to the car parked outside.
From the angle you're standing when you knocked out that man, you should turn
almost 180 degrees around. Follow your compass, like the objective said.
Return to the small hallway where you began the tutorial. Now, when you
approach the door, you should see the action icon appear. Use the right mouse
button to open the door and head outside. Walk towards the car to your left,
marked "Lost Heaven Taxi." For reference, this vehicle is called a Falconer
Yellowcar. Ignore the two men talking nearby and walk up to the Falconer. The
guide will tell you how to steal it.
Instructor: You are able to steal any car that you come across, but only if
you've been shown how to get into it. Try to pick the lock on the car door.
New Objective (Q): Press and hold the ACTION BUTTON. A progress bar will be
displayed. When it is full, the car is yours. Get into the car.
You will also notice that a message popped up in the bottom left of the
screen, saying "You've learnt how to steal a Falconer." From now on (meaning
only for the rest of the tutorial), you will be able to pick the locks of any
Falconer that you see in the city.
Anyway, go up to the driver's-side door and hold the action button. While the
progress bar is filling up, you can move the camera around to look for people
who might see you stealing the car. Once you've picked the lock, the guide will
give you another message.
Instructor: Make sure that the police don't spot you when breaking into
cars. Now get in the car.
Right click when next to the driver-side door to enter the car. When you get
in, you should see new icons on the screen. There should be radar, a
speedometer, rpm gauge, and a few others. If no new icons appeared on the
screen, you probably got in the back seat by accident. If this is the case,
press the action button to exit the car, then move to the driver's door and
press it one more time.
Once you get in the driver's seat, the name of the car will appear in the
bottom left hand corner of the screen: Falconer Yellowcar. In general, the name
of whatever car you enter will be displayed here for a few seconds after you
get in it. Now you will get a speech from the guide and a new objective as
well.
Instructor: When you get in a car a radar will be displayed next to the
compass. It shows other vehicles that are in your surrounding area and it
will also display your destination when you are close enough. Drive to the
place indicated.
New Objective (R): Drive towards the location indicated.
Use the following keys to drive cars (default controls)
Accelerate: Cursor key up
Brake and Reverse: Cursor key down
Steer Left: Cursor key left
Steer Right: Cursor key right
Handbrake: Spacebar
To change the transmission from automatic to manual, press MANUAL/AUTOMATIC
GEARING (Default: M key)
Press GEAR UP and GEAR DOWN to change gears (Default: A and Z)
Inside the car, press "accelerate" to turn on the ignition. Wait a second
(remember, these are cars from the 1930s, they're not exactly hotrods), and
then drive forward. Follow your compass, and head down the hill to your left.
You don't even have to accelerate down the hill, as it is quite steep. It's
your choice whether you want to run over pedestrians who are walking across
the street, but I'd really recommend slowing down, because you don't want to
crash into the traffic going the other way.
At the bottom of the hill, turn right, and head down that street. Try to get a
basic feel for how the Falconer handles as you follow your compass and continue
straight. When you get close to your objective, you will notice a red "X" on
your radar. Drive directly to this "X." The guide will then give you a tip
about the speed limiter.
Instructor: Okay. Every car has a speed limiter. When used, it will allow
you to drive at the maximum speed limit allowed and not go over it. Use
this to avoid worrying about being stopped by the police for exceeding the
speed limit. The police will appear as blue cars on the radar. Turn on the
limiter and drive in the direction indicated by the compass.
New Objective (S): Turn on the speed limiter by pressing the SPEED LIMIT key
(Default: F5). Drive in the direction indicated by the compass.
Like the guide and objective both say, turn on your speed limiter by pressing
F5 (by default), and then continue following the road and your compass. Keep
going the way you were before you reached your previous objective. Follow the
road to the left when it curves, and then continue straight. You should see the
red "X" on your radar, but keep going straight. Up ahead, you will see an
entrance to the area on your right. Turn into it, and then drive to the red
"X". When you reach it, the guide will tell you how to drive and shoot
simultaneously.
Instructor: Even when you are driving you may have to defend yourself. You
can shoot from a car while driving but can only use handguns. Choose a Colt
and try it.
New Objective (T): After selecting a gun, press the FIRE button to draw your
gun. You can now look around and shoot out of the driver's side of the car.
Shoot from the window.
Go into your inventory and equip either of your guns. I hope you didn't waste
ALL the ammo shooting at the cans. Press fire once to roll down your window
and stick the gun out. You can then move your arm around (and with it, the
camera).
Practice firing at objects, such as the barrels lying around, both from a
stopped and from a moving position. Take note that Tommy's accuracy when
shooting from a car window is significantly worse than when he's on foot,
even if the car is stopped.
After firing a few rounds from the car window, you'll get a new objective, a
message from the guide, and yet another objective.
New Objective (U): Press the ACTION BUTTON to switch back to the car
Instructor: If someone steps into the road in front of you, you should warn
them by sounding the car horn.
New Objective (V): Sound the horn by pressing the HORN key (Default: K)
After you sound the horn a few times, the guide will return to give you a very
lengthy talk about the police and wanted levels. If you want more information
on this, I suggest that you read the appropriate section ("The Police") in this
guide.
Instructor: Now listen up. In our line of work you don't want to draw
attention to yourself, so be aware of the police patrolling the city. If
you commit a minor offense, a symbol of a fine will be displayed. Simply
stop and pay the fine, and then you can be on your way. When you are
spotted committing a serious offense, a handcuff symbol will be displayed.
You can try to evade the police, but if they catch you, you will be
arrested. Lastly, always keep your weapons hidden when out in the city.
If the police detect shots being fired, a symbol of a gun will be
displayed. You will now be wanted by all of the police in the area and they
will return fire. How you're gonna get out of that situation is up to you.
That's it. From now on, it's down to you to see what you make out of
yourself.
New Objective (W): Enter the door that's indicated on the radar to exit
tutorial.
The tutorial is now officially over. If you want, you can still drive around,
shoot things, and so on. Maybe you want to try jumping over those ramps with
your Falconer; maybe you want to shoot some random pedestrians. Whatever your
choice, you are free to mess around for as long as you want. When you're ready
to stop, just follow the compass. From where the tutorial officially ended,
head back out of the entrance to the small area with ramps and barrels, and
turn right. Follow the road as it turns to the left. You should be able to see
the red "X" on your radar. Stop your car and get out. You should see a brown
door directly to the left of a yellowish building on the right side of the
street. Press the action button when next to the door to end the tutorial.

concerns a certain kind of trade.
Norman: Trade?
Tommy: Well, let's just say that I hold a high position in a not so legal

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
Autumn 1930
(Tommy is seen getting out of his taxi at a street corner.)
Tommy: (narrating) I used to be a taxi driver. Even though I wasn't making
much and I worked from dawn to dusk, I was glad to be working.
(The camera switches to a chase between two cars in a tunnel. The occupants
of the cars are shooting at each other. It is apparently a mafia shootout.
The view switches back to Tommy, who lights a cigarette by his taxi.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was a bad time and some other people were worse off than
me.
(The camera shows another cinematic view of the chase and then returns to
Tommy.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was that very taxi that drew Salieri's people to me in
the first place. One day I was on my break and I was just hanging out.
Suddenly I heard a tremendous crash...
(A massive crash is heard and then a gangster wielding a pistol appears at
the corner of the street. Another gangster shouts at him from behind.)
Gangster: Sam! They got me, dammit...
Sam: Climb up and move... There's a taxi, we'll be okay...
(The gangster named Sam points his gun at Tommy, who drops his cigarette
from his hand in surprise.)
Tommy: (narr.) It was clear to me that these guys had to get out of there
fast, so I thought it was best to cooperate, rather than ending up with a
hole in my head.
(The other gangster emerges from the corner. Sam grabs Tommy and drags him
towards the taxi.)
Sam: Move it... come on...
(They get into the car along with the other gangster, who points his gun at
Tommy's face.)
Tommy: Where to?
Gangster: Anywhere! Fast... and I hope you're damn fast... faster than Sam
here was...
Tommy: (narr.) I burned rubber outta there like a bat outta hell. It didn't
matter where, just away from those gentlemen who were chasing my new
customers.
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 01 An Offer You Can't Refuse
New Objective (A): Lose the tail
Gangster: Now listen carefully. We gotta shake those clowns behind us. If you
don't do it then we're done for, and that includes you! Step on it kid!
As Paulie instructs you, the main objective here is to evade your pursuers. As
the mission begins, you will have 100 health, and so will Sam. Paulie (who was
seen limping in the opening cinematic) only has 79 health. However, since you
will each be injured about the same amount from collisions, you should act as
though you all have only 79 health. Remember that you will fail the mission if
Tommy, Paulie, or Sam dies, or if you get out of the taxi and desert them.
First let's analyze how the gangsters will attack you.
The gangsters have two main methods of dealing damage to you or the other men
in your taxi: ramming and shooting. Firstly, they will try to ram into your
car and/or push it into an object such as a wall, pole, or another vehicle.
This will do minimal damage to all members of your car, but can do serious
damage to the car itself. The second method of hurting you is the most obvious:
shooting. Throughout the mission, these gangsters will be firing at you almost
nonstop. Although they're not too accurate, every once in a while they do get a
lucky shot which deals out some serious damage. The most important thing for
you to do is to avoid letting them pull up alongside you. If this happens, the
passenger in their car will fire repeatedly into either you or Paulie, and can
kill you in a matter of seconds with their rapid and powerful gunfire.
The best way to evade these gangsters, and to complete your objective is to
get them in a situation from which they cannot easily escape, thereby allowing
you to drive away. Once you're a reasonable distance from them, your objective
will be completed. A good technique for shaking them off involves their
strategy of running you off the road. You will notice that they often try to
pull alongside of you, usually to the left. Even if you cannot see their car,
you should be able to see that on the radar, their rectangle is slightly to the
left of yours. Once they're close to pulling alongside you, set your aim for
one of the many light poles you see scattered around. Squeeze your car as close
as you can to the right of the pole so that your pursuers plow directly into
it. If you can't see or reach one of these poles in time, this technique can
also be used with other cars on the road. Even more effective are the large
trolley cars moving about the city (marked as yellow rectangles on your radar).
Basically, use anything you can find on the street to take out your pursuers.
Anyway, after colliding into the pole/car/object, you can try to race off,
leaving the gangsters in the dust, and hope that they won't recover fast enough
to catch you. Another option is to turn around and drive off in the opposite
direction. Using that strategy, not only will the enemies have to back up from
the street pole, but they will then have to turn completely around, and THEN
catch up with you. You can also try this 180-degree technique even if you
haven't caused them to collide with a pole, though it won't work as well.
In any case, try to get the enemies stopped dead in a position where it will
take them a long time to dislodge themselves, and then try to distance yourself
as much as possible. Turn as often as you can and take every side-street and
alleyway. If you just drive straight, they'll have a much better chance of
catching up. Lastly, if your foes manage to flip themselves over, you'll have a
very easy time, as they will be unable to pursue you at all. With these
strategies (and a little bit of luck), you should be able to successfully lose
the tail.
Gangster: Great! We've made it!
Gangster: Good work brother! Now take us to Salieri's Bar. I'll show you the
way.
New Objective (B): Get the gangsters to the Salieri Bar.
You now will have a destination on your compass: Salieri's Bar. Also, you will
see a stopwatch in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Don't be worried,
though. You have more than enough time to reach the bar. Take note that when
you begin the mission, you are smack in the middle of Hoboken, and Salieri's
Bar is near the middle of Little Italy. Looking at a map, you can see that
these two places are pretty far apart from one another. In the tutorial, you
could simply follow your compass straight to your objective, but here, doing
that will probably just lead you to the water. Remember that your compass only
gives you the direction to your target as the crow flies; it doesn't give you
an exact route. If you're up against the edge of the island but your compass is
still pointing west across the river, you'd better find a bridge.
I would seriously advise using either the map that came packaged with the game
or the in-game map (Default: Tab Key). Depending on where you ended up after
ditching the gangsters, you may have to change which routes you're going to
use. Take a look at your map. You'll see that you'll first have to take either
the East Marshall or Giuliano bridges to get to Central Island. Once on Central
Island, you'll have to take either the West Marshall Bridge or Giuliano Street
Tunnel to get to Little Italy (if you take the West Marshall bridge, you'll
have to drive North to reach Little Italy from the Works Quarter).
A note about the drive back: The Falconer (taxi) that you drive in this
mission is extremely prone to getting a damaged engine from head on collisions.
If you ran into anything during the chase, it's possible that you took engine
damage. Once you complete the first objective, check your gas gauge. It is
located in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, below your speedometer.
Normally, your gas is used up at a glacially slow pace. But if you can actually
see the meter moving, you've ruptured your engine, and it's now leaking gas. If
you run out before you reach the bar, you'll be stuck. But if you leave your
taxi, you'll fail the mission for deserting Paulie and Sam. So what do you do
if this occurs? Well, your best bet is just to make the trip back as if nothing
were wrong. Unless you're leaking gas at an absurdly fast rate, you can
probably reach the bar before your car stalls. If it's making you too nervous,
you can stop at a gas station on the way (they're marked on the map). But
honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. Still, it is possible that you may have to
retry the mission because of a leak, so you should at least be aware of this
risk.
Anyway, by whatever means, get yourself to Little Italy, then follow your map
and compass to reach Salieri's Bar. It will be marked with a red "X" on your
radar and a large blue "X" on your map. Once you get to the bar, the final
cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Gangster: Finally, we're home.
(Tommy stops the car. Two guards are seen standing by the entrance to the
bar.)
Gangster: Wait here, friend, Sam will get a little something from Mr.
Salieri.
(The two men get out of the car.)
Gangster: Thanks for your help.
(They enter the bar. Tommy waits inside the car, while the two guards eye
him suspiciously. He grows visibly nervous. Then Sam walks out of the bar
and approaches him slowly. Tommy tries to start the car in fear when he
begins to pull something out of his coat, thinking it is a gun. However, it
is an envelope and Sam hands it to him.)
Sam: Mr. Salieri would like to thank you as well as myself and Paulie. It's
compensation for the damage to your car and your services. It should be
enough.
Tommy: Yes, of course, thanks. Give my regards to Mr. Salieri.
Sam: Mr. Salieri wants you to know that he is very grateful to you. If you
ever need anything you can come back and ask for help, because Mr. Salieri
doesn't forget about friends who have helped him out. If you're interested
maybe we could find a job for you here and it would pay well. We always
have positions for guys as good as you.
Tommy: Okay, okay... I'll think about it, thanks, really thanks... I'd
better go... to fix the car and so on...
Sam: All right, I understand... Just think about it... And I hope it's
clear that this matter is only between ourselves! Take care, kid.
Tommy: (narrating) When I opened the envelope, I almost had a heart attack.
(Tommy is seen sitting at a table in his home, the money given to him by
Sam in front of him.)
Tommy: (narr.) There was more than it would cost to do the repairs. But I
didn't for a minute think about their offer. I didn't want to join some
criminals, even if they had all the money in the world. It's better to be
poor and alive than rich and dead, right? I was gonna get my cab repaired
and try to forget it all as soon as possible. As my mother always said: You
can never predict what God has in store for you.

WALKTHROUGH
As you begin the mission, Tommy is waiting in his taxi, hoping to pick up some
passengers. A man steps up, gets in the taxi, and gives you a destination.
Customer: Hey, could you take me to the church downtown please?
Tommy: Okay, okay.
Game saved: 02-01 The Running Man-Taxi Rank
New Objective (A): Take your passenger to the Church Downtown
This first objective will give you a feel for what most of this mission
is: boring. You have more than enough time to get all your passengers to
their destinations, but if you mess up, you'll have to start over from
where you first picked up your passenger. You will fail this mission if you
desert your taxi, kill a pedestrian by (even accidentally) running them over,
frighten your passenger, or kill your passenger or yourself. Basically, take
things nice and cool, possibly with the speed limiter on, and just obey the
basic traffic laws. The main point of this mission isn't to be action packed,
it's to try to give you a feel for the city. By the end, you should be a
little more comfortable in Lost Heaven, and should know your way around better
than when you started.
Anyway, on to completing your first objective. You will notice that you start
right outside the Municipal Building at the southern end of Central Island.
Since you're trying to get to the church, you first need to get downtown. I'd
advise going east over the East Marshall bridge. Remember that both the East
and West Marshall Bridges are draw bridges. It's possible that they will be
going up for a ship to pass. In this case, it's better to wait. Believe me,
it's almost impossible to jump the bridge with a Falconer if it's fully raised.
If you really wanted, I suppose you could go all the way up Central Island,
over the Giuliano Bridge, and then back down through New Ark, but that would be
a waste of time. Just go east a few blocks and over the East Marshall Bridge.
After that, drive east a few more blocks and then head north until you reach
the church.
Customer: Okay, drop me off here at the steps.
Let your passenger out near the red "X" on your radar.
Customer: Thanks, here's the fare.
(The man gets out of the car. Another customer approaches.)
Customer: Are you taken? I need to go to the hospital in New Ark.
Tommy: No Problem.
Game saved: 02-01 The Running Man-Passenger 2
New Objective (B): Take your passenger to the church in New Ark.
Since you are already downtown, your next destination really isn't that far
away. The hospital is predominately north, and a little to the west. Just drive
north into New Ark, and then continue going north as far as you can.
Eventually, right next to the Terranova Bridge (which is closed for repairs),
you'll arrive at the hospital.
Customer: Here it is, drop me off in front of the entrance.
Go ahead and drop off your passenger.
Customer: Thanks, here's the fare.
A woman will come up and ask you to taxi her to a new location.
Customer: I'm lucky you're here! I need to get to the theater on Central
Island! Take the Giuliano Bridge so that we can get there quickly.
Tommy: Whatever you want!
Game saved: 02-01 The Running Man-Passenger 3
New Objective (C): Take your passenger to the theatre on Central Island, by
going across the Giuliano Bridge.
Again, this objective isn't that hard to complete. It's really meant to
acclimatize you to the city, and make you more familiar with it. Make your way
down to the Giuliano Bridge. Like a miniature version of the Golden Gate
Bridge, it's large, red, and almost impossible to miss. You can either go down
the straight streets a little to the east, or drive on the curvy road that is
right on the waterfront. If you choose the latter, you'll have to either
drive around the bridge, or up the small alley next to it. Whatever way you
choose, find your way over there. Take the bridge across the East River to
Central Island. Follow the ramp all the way down to the main street, then turn
off and head for the theater.
Customer: Here it is, drop me off here at the corner.
Drop your passenger off.
Customer: Here's the money, goodbye.
Wait a moment, and another person will come up and ask for a ride.
Customer: Good day. Could you take me to Hoboken, the Pompeii Bar?
Tommy: Sure thing, get in.
Game saved: 02-01 The Running Man-Passenger 4
New Objective (D): Take your passenger to the Pompeii Bar in Hoboken
Turn right around and get back on the Giuliano Bridge that you just took to
get over here. Using this route, return to New Ark. Keep following the road
straight, then take a left, and then a right down the hill. Near the eastern
part of Hoboken, turn right and make your way to the bar.
Customer: We're here, drop me off at the entrance please.
Park along the sidewalk here and let out your passenger.
Customer: There you go, keep the change.
After a short while, another person will come up to you, asking for a ride.
Don't worry, you're almost done with this rather dull and uninteresting part of
the mission.
Customer: I need to get to the department store car lot in Little Italy,
can you take me there?
Tommy: No problem, get in.
Customer: Go across the Giuliano Bridge and then through the tunnel. It's
the shortest way.
Game saved: 02-01 The Running Man-Passenger 5
New Objective (E): Take your passenger to the department store car lot in
Little Italy, by going across the Giuliano Bridge and then through the tunnel.
Clearly, your first order of business is to get to the Giuliano Bridge. Your
passenger intends for you to head south and then to take the road into
Downtown. However, it's actually faster to use the long road that serves as the
northern border of Hoboken. From Bar Pompeii, head directly forward (north),
through the alleyway and then turn left onto this main street. Make sure that
you're going relatively fast; otherwise the Falconer might not be able to make
it up the hill (Have you figured out that it's a crappy car yet?). At the top
of the hill, your passenger should make a remark asking you if you even know
where the bridge is. From here, make your way to the Giuliano Bridge. The
alternative is to go south, then head into Downtown, continue north into New
Ark, and then finally over the bridge.
Once you get onto Central Island, slow down and turn almost completely around
so that you can take the road to the Giuliano Street Tunnel. To clarify, the
Giuliano Bridge and Tunnel make a Y-Intersection with the main street on
Central Island. When you're coming from New Ark, you're on the right "/" of the
"Y." When you reach the "|" you want to turn around and take the "\". Hopefully
that made some sort of sense. Anyway, take the tunnel over to Little Italy.
Assuming you haven't knocked them off by crashing into something, your
headlights will automatically turn on when you enter the tunnel. Keep going
west as far as you can, then turn south. Follow your compass/map to the
department store.
Passenger: "Here we are, drop me off at the car lot."
Customer: This should cover it, keep the change.
Tommy: And I need a coffee break.
New Loading Screen: A Baseball bat. Really, that's it.
Game saved: 02-02 The Running Man-Coffee Break
[Cinematic]
Tommy: (narrating) I had a cup of coffee and relaxed in the car while I was
waiting to see if I could get another customer.
(Tommy is seen inspecting the front left tire of his taxi.)
Tommy: (narr.) I noticed I wasn't far from Salieri's Bar...
(Tommy gets back into the car. Then, suddenly, the windshield is hit by a
baseball bat.)
Tommy: JESUS!
(A gangster opens the door and grabs Tommy by the arm.)
Gangster: We got you, you little rat!
(He pulls Tommy out of the car.)
Gangster: Mr. Morello is pretty angry with you. We're gonna have to teach
you a little lesson, so you remember that it ain't right.
(A second gangster starts smashing Tommy's taxi with his baseball bat.)
Tommy: (narr.) Those bastards remembered the license plate of my car and
took it on themselves to hunt me down...
Gangster: Louie here'll fix your face a little...
(Just as the second gangster is about to hit him with the bat, Tommy pushes
them and starts running away.)
Gangster: Finish him off! Don't waste any more time on him!
(The gangsters start shooting at Tommy as he runs.)
[End of cinematic]
Gangster: Finish him off! Don't waste any more time on him!
Tommy: (narr.) It was clear to me that I had to get outta there fast. I
couldn't handle that animal on my own. I said to myself that now was
probably the right moment for Mr. Salieri to show his gratitude. Salieri's
Bar was just down the street and the sight of it was certainly a lot nicer
than a baseball bat to my head.
New Objective (F): Escape to the Salieri Bar. Take cover in the back alleys
Even though the gangsters were using melee weapons in the cinematic, one of
them will now draw an S&W Model 10 M&P and begin firing at you (the other
gangster will continue to wield his baseball bat). I will give you a step-by-
step guide of how to get to the bar, but there are some basic strategies
that you can use to minimize the damage you take on the way there. In general,
you should always be moving, never stopped. When running forward, also strafe
to the right and to the left in a zigzag pattern to make yourself a difficult
target. Finally, put whatever you can between yourself and the path of the
bullets being fired at you. If you can get in front of a person, a wall, a car,
or any object that can absorb the shots, do so. Now, here's how you go about
escaping to the Salieri Bar.
As soon as you're in control of Tommy, head forward and follow the sidewalk.
Try to put pedestrians behind you, as a buffer for the bullets being fired in
your direction. Continue forward and you should see a large, floating green
arrow pointing to the right. Turn right and continue running into the next
alleyway. Run to the left and then forward through the small space between the
fence and a shack. Keep strafing and running forward to avoid being hit. As you
cross the street (be careful not to be run over), try to put a parked car
between yourself and your pursuers. Keep following your compass onto the
sidewalk. You should see another green arrow pointing to the right into an
alleyway. Follow the arrow and turn right here. You should see a man talking to
himself, and another man peeing in the corner.
Turn left here and keep running. Head up a staircase, still doing your best to
avoid taking too much damage. Next, turn right into a more wide-open alley.
Head left around the wall and down another flight of stairs. You should see a
man on a balcony above you. Go forward and then right down more stairs. You
should now be back on the street and see two men talking.
Turn left here, and follow the sidewalk some more. You should see another green
arrow, this time pointing left into the alleyway. Run through here, trying to
avoid as much damage as possible. Don't worry, you're almost there. Head to the
left and through another passageway where you will find a woman standing
around.
Turn left onto the sidewalk after going through this passageway. You should be
able to see Salieri's Bar in the distance and across the street. It also has a
large green arrow pointing down at it. Even though it may seem out of place,
given that there are men shooting at you, look to make sure no cars are
coming. Though rare, a few times when I've played this mission, I've been run
over and killed when crossing the street only 50 feet from the bar.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy goes across the street and finally reaches Salieri's Bar. The two
gangsters arrive after him, look inside, hide their guns and enter the bar.
A few seconds later gunshots are heard. Then the bartender opens the door,
takes a look outside, and changes the "Open" sign to "Closed". Next, Tommy
is seen sitting at the bar, having a drink with Salieri's men. Paulie, the
gangster who was with Sam in his taxi is sitting next to him.)
Tommy: (narr.) Salieri's boys saved my skin that time, but I certainly
wasn't in a good situation. I had paid off my debts for the car repairs,
but my boss didn't want to employ anyone who's in the mob. It just wasn't
good business. When I saw the fancy get-up of Salieri's boys, I thought
that it can't be too bad to work for him. Besides, I had nothing to lose.
Morello was out to get me, so driving a cab wasn't the best job. Plus, the
prospect of Salieri's dough wasn't so terrible... So, like I always say:
"Better to die young and loaded..."
(Salieri's men are seen putting the corpses of Morello's two gangsters into
a truck in the backyard of the bar.)

WALKTHROUGH
Game saved: 03-01 Molotov Party-Salieri Bar
[Cinematic]
(Tommy is sitting at a table with Don Salieri, Sam and Paulie in the
backroom of the bar, this time dressed in a black suit like Sam and Paulie.
A balding, middle-aged man wearing eyeglasses is standing next to Salieri.)
Salieri: Well, it looks like Morello is really trying to make me mad. But
I'm a reasonable person. What do they call you, son?
Tommy: Thomas Angelo.
Salieri: I've decided to give you a shot, Tommy. I like new faces. We're
one big family here. You already know Paulie and Sam. Frank here is my
right hand and looks after the legal side of our business. The one behind
the bar is Luigi. This business ain't easy to swallow, but Luigi's a
wonderful cook. Paul will introduce you to Vincenzo and Ralph. There are a
lot of us, but those should be enough for now.
Salieri: Now listen, and listen good, we have some rules around here: Don't
cross paths with the cops. They're on our payroll, so they'll leave you
alone, but if you go too far, they'll all come after you, money or no
money... If they ever pick you up, say nothing and I will take care of you.
I show my gratitude to those people that help me. And there aren't many
left who betrayed me... Capisci?
Tommy: Yes, Mr. Salieri.
Salieri: I'm glad. Today I'll give you a chance to get back at those
bastards who wrecked your taxi. We'll see what you're made of. Morello has
a bar where all his gorillas go. They all have their cars parked behind the
fence next to the bar. If you're good, they won't be there tomorrow
morning... Paulie'll go with you, just in case. Go see Vincenzo for
equipment and Ralph for some wheels...
(Tommy and Paulie leave the room.)
Frank: I wouldn't trust him so much. He seemed hesitant, he's just accepted
now because he has no choice.
Salieri: We'll see, Frank, we'll see... I'm more concerned about what
Morello's problem is. Does he really want to start a war?
(The scene switches to Tommy and Paulie going up a staircase in the
backyard of the bar.)
Paulie: Vincenzo is the Don's gun expert, they've known each other since
they were kids. He gets you whatever you want, Tommy guns to cannons. Vinny
can set you up. I always pay him a visit before a job.
(Paulie opens the door to Vincenzo's room.)
Paulie: Buongiorno, Vincenzo!
Vincenzo: Ciao, Paulie!
Paulie: This here's Tom... Just started up with us.
Vincenzo: Pleased to meet you, Tom! What can I do for the both of yours?
Paulie: We've got a job to do, we need something to write off a few cars.
(Vincenzo points to a baseball bat.)
Vincenzo: This classic piece of sports equipment should do the job, and if
not, I've mixed up a few cocktails.
(He puts a box full of Molotov cocktails on the table.)
Vincenzo: Careful with 'em, though.
(Tommy takes the bat and Paulie takes the Molotov cocktails.)
Paulie: Thanks a lot, Vincenzo.
Vincenzo: Bring back the bat, it's my nephew's!
Paulie: Sure thing!
(Tommy and Paulie leave Vincenzo's room and walk towards the garage.)
Paulie: Ralph, who I'll introduce you to, is a complete idiot, but he's got
a special way with cars. I don't get how such a moron could know anything
about anything, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
(They enter the garage, where Ralph is working on a car.)
Ralph: Ha ha ha, a v-v-visit.
Paulie: Hey, Ralphy.
Ralph: I s-s-see you're still limping, so we got two cripples working here.
Paulie: That's right, but I ain't a fool. Ralph, this is Tom... If you
bring him a stolen car, Tommy, he'll make it your own. And no one'll know
the difference.
(Tommy and Ralph shake hands.)
Paulie: Ralph, Tom and me have a job to do. You're supposed to have some
wheels for us.
Ralph: Right, hehe, here it is, he, it ain't no hot-rod, hehe, but it
should really do for you.
(Ralph shows them a Bolt Ace Fordor car.)
Paulie: Thanks, Ralphy. Let's go!
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 03-02 Molotov Party-City
New Objective (A): Drive to the Morello Bar and destroy the cars parked in the
back yard
Morello's Bar is located in New Ark. Hopefully, you've already become
reasonably familiar with the city during the previous mission, and can
navigate around by yourself. If not, use the map (default: Tab key) or my
instructions. The best way to get to the bar is to take the Giuliano Street
Tunnel and then the Giuliano Bridge over to New Ark, then go a couple blocks
northeast. When you arrive at the bar, the next part of the mission begins.
Game saved: 03-03 Molotov Party-Morello's Bar
Paulie: Okay, we're here. Don't go through the front, find another way.
Take out the guard quietly so you don't arouse any attention. Smash the
cars up with the bat and save the fireworks for last. There could be
something nice in that shed, take a look. Good luck, buddy.
Tommy: Thanks, I'll be back in a little while.
Paulie will tell you to go around back instead of through the front. It would
be wise to follow his instructions. After all, Morello's gangsters are armed
with S&W Model 10 M&Ps and S&W Model 27 Magnums, whereas you only have a bat
and two cocktails. And after all, your mission is to destroy the cars, not
their owners.
When you arrive, drive near the bar, but not in front of the windows. Park
somewhere slightly farther away. A good place is the small, empty area
directly west of the bar. Get out of your car and walk near the lot
attached to the back of the bar. However, DON'T go through the main gates where
a man is standing guard. If he sees you entering the compound, he will call out
to the nearby gangsters (who will kill you very quickly). Instead, circle
around to the west of the lot. You should see a very narrow passageway. Follow
it. About halfway down the alley, you will see a metal, chain-link gate on your
right. Open it.
You are now in Morello's car lot. However, don't damage the cars just yet. Your
first order of business is to take out that guard. Equip the baseball bat and
walk up behind him. Charge your swing all the way, and hit him from behind.
Just like the gangster in the tutorial, he will fall from a single fully
charged swing. Now the gangsters won't come after you, unless you deliberately
walk in front of the bar and start attacking them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note #1: Though much riskier, it is possible to turn into the car lot and run
over the guard. However, if you only knock him over, not kill him instantly,
he'll call out to the guards and you'll have a major firefight on your hands.
Note #2: I wouldn't recommend this, but it is possible to kill the guard
and all four of the gangsters. One of the best strategies is to sneak around
back and attack the guard, but not kill him. He'll call out to the gangsters.
Notice how they all come out of that door? Well, throw one of your cocktails in
the doorway to kill most, if not all of them. After the fire subsides, run in,
grab one of their guns, and clean up who ever is still alive. Then you can
deal with destroying the cars.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the guard is taken out, equip your baseball bat and go up to any of
the three cars parked in the lot. Start smashing it up. It doesn't matter
where, or how, just as long as your bat makes contact with the car. You
will see a damage meter at the bottom of the screen. When it gets full, the
game will tell you that you've done enough damage. Now would also be a great
time to practice using those molotov cocktails. They will do tremendous damage
to the cars, and can even destroy them completely. Just remember that you only
get two cocktails.
Also, I'd recommend that if you're going to use the cocktails at all, use them
at the very end of your damage-dealing spree. If you use them first, and then
come at the cars with the bat, one of them is liable to explode without
warning, seriously injuring you. Once you have "done enough damage" to all
three cars, you will get a new objective.
New Objective (B): Return to Salieri's
At this point, all you need to do is get back to the bar. You're more than
welcome to simply return in your Bolt Ace Fordor, but if you look carefully,
you can score a bonus car. Go to the garage just north of where the three cars
were and "use" the door to open it. Inside, you'll find a pristine new
Falconer. Even better, it's unlocked. Get in and drive out of the lot. Paulie
should get in the driver's seat of the Bolt and drive it back for you, so you
just need to return to Salieri's. I'm pretty sure that you can find your way
back. After all, you can just retrace your steps, so to speak.
Of course, if you made a fair amount of noise (say, blowing up some cars, for
example), the gangsters in the bar may very well have heard you. If you don't
get out of there in a hurry, they might just run into the back lot and come
after you. If you drive away, they'll likely give chase. Of course, if your
molotovs took out the whole garage, they can't exactly pursue you in those
burnt-out husks that used to be cars. Then again, you could always play it safe
and stick to the much quieter baseball bat. Anyway, once you arrive at the
Salieri Bar, you'll have another cinematic, and then the end of the mission.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: So we're back, boss.
Salieri: Wonderful, take a seat. It all went well?
Paulie: Sure, boss, he's a natural.
(Tommy and Paulie sit down at the table.)
Paulie: Before they could say "genolees" they were wheel-less! And before
they could recover, we were gone. Morello is probably pretty pissed right
now.
Salieri: Really? I'm glad to hear it.
Paulie: He's one tough customer.
Salieri: In that case, welcome to the family, Tommy.
(Salieri stands up and hugs Tommy.)
Salieri: You've passed the first test, and now we've got a new member.
Paulie: I'd like to take him into the outfit, boss. You can see he ain't
scared. And he's done real good.
Salieri: You didn't disappoint me, Tommy. Now, let's drink!
Tommy: Thanks...
(They raise their glasses for a toast.)

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy, Salieri, Paulie and Sam are sitting in the backroom of the bar,
with Frank standing next to the Don.)
Salieri: Today we're gonna visit a few places to collect some protection
money. Two restaurants and a motel outside of town. Bill at the motel was
late last time, because he had a few problems. So today he'll pay a little
more.
Frank: You may have heard about how criminals can prey on businesses using
various threats. That certainly isn't the case with us. People who pay us
receive services, services the police certainly can't provide them with.
Last month, for example, Sam and Paulie here solved a serious problem of
violence in a delightful restaurant. The owner is now satisfied that
nothing of that sort will happen there again.
Salieri: (to Tommy) You'll do the driving. Paulie and Sam will do the
collecting. It'll be routine. Tell Ralph to give you a car and you can go.
Tommy: Okay, boss.
(Tommy, Paulie and Sam leave)
Salieri: (to Frank) Well, you and I'll have a drink. What do you say,
Frank?
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 04-01 Ordinary Routine-Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Go and see Vincenzo to get a weapon
Talk to Ralph
Collect Protection Money
Leave Salieri's private office by opening the door. Head out past the pool
table and into the bar. Loop around the bar, past Luigi, and turn left, away
from the front entrance. Head down the hallway, and then go out the door at
the end to reach the back lot. You'll see Paulie off to the right standing
around, and Sam to the left, having a smoke. Ralph will be tinkering away at a
Bolt Ace Fordor in front of you. In addition, you'll see the green Bolt Ace
Fordor from the previous mission (unless you destroyed it), along with any
other car you might have stolen so far.
Now onto your objectives. I'd recommend that you first see Vincenzo. Head out
the gate and up the stairs, just like in the cinematic in "Molotov Party" where
Tommy was introduced to the gunsmith. This time, they'll have a little chat,
and Vincenzo will give Tommy a S&W Model 10 M&P with 18 rounds.
Tommy: Hey, Vincenzo, I need some kind of gun.
Vincenzo: Hey, Tom! I think this would do the trick.
(He puts a S&W Model 10 M&P pistol on the table.)
Tommy: It should work. I wasn't planning on using it anyway. Thanks.
Return to the car lot and talk with Ralph. After some stuttering, he'll
show you how to steal the Bolt Model B Fordor parked in the corner.
Tommy: Hey, Ralphy, me and the boys have got a job to do and I need some
wheels.
Ralph: Hey, I s... sorted ou... out what you brought me l... last time. It
is a go... good m... motor, Tom. It has almost 60 horsepower and goes a
good 75 miles per hour. He has four s... speeds and b... break servos. S...
S... Simply b... b... beautiful! Also had a look at how you can best s...
steal one.
Tommy: I used to drive one when I was a cabby, so I know how to get into
one, Ralphy.
Ralph: Well, then I got another little number. It has about 40 horsepower
and goes at almost 60 miles an hour.
(Ralph leads Tommy to a Bolt Model B Fordor car and shows him how to pick
its lock.)
Ralph: Ain't nothing swanky, but it's a good enough drive. You get into it
easy. Just take t... t... this little baby and stick it in here, p... p...
pry it a little and when it clicks you've got it... It's a p... piece a
c... cake...
Tommy: Thanks, Ralphy.
From now on, you'll know how to steal all Bolt Model Bs you come across. Once
you start up the engine, Paulie and Sam will come running over and get in.
Drive forward, and turn right. You will now have to load the city. Once
you do, it's time to begin with the real mission.
Game saved: 04-02 Ordinary Routine-After the briefing
New Objective (B): Collect protection money on Central Island.
Paulie: Okay, first we'll go to a restaurant on Central Island.
As Paulie tells you, your destination is a restaurant on Central Island. This
is your first stop. I'm guessing that by this time, you're relatively
comfortable with the city of Lost Heaven, and can get there yourself. If not,
basically, take the Giuliano Bridge onto Central Island, then go south a
couple blocks, and follow your map/compass the rest of the way to the
restaurant.
Paulie: Stop! Here it is.
Once there, stop where the "X" is on your radar and let Paulie get out to go
retrieve the money. After a while, he'll come out with a full bag, and get in
the car. He will then tell Tommy to head for Bar Pompeii in Hoboken.
New Objective (C): Collect protection money in Hoboken
Paulie: And now to Hoboken to the Pompeii Bar.
Before you leave, keep in mind that the game has NOT saved, and will not save
until you reach the Clark Motel. In other words, if you want to screw around
and then get killed, you'll have to reload from where you left the Salieri
Bar, even if you've already collected the protection money from the first two
places.
From your location in Central Island, either take the Giuliano Bridge into New
Ark, or the East Marshall Bridge into Downtown. From either New Ark or
Downtown, head to Hoboken. Bar Pompeii is pretty much right in the center
of the neighborhood. If you remember, it's where you picked up your final
passenger in "The Running Man."
Paulie: Here it is. Pull in, Tom.
Once you get near the bar, Paulie will again hop out and go inside to collect
the protection money. When he returns, you'll get a new objective.
New Objective (D): Collect protection money from the motel outside of town.
Paulie: Now we're goin' to take in the country air. We're goin' to Clark's
Motel out of town.
You now need to head to Clark's Motel, which is north of the Lost Heaven city
limits. From Bar Pompeii, head north, through a small alleyway, or go the long
way, if you prefer. In either case, you should end up on the large street
heading east-west. Follow it west up the steep hill and then turn right
(heading north). Continue north until you reach the countryside. You will then
be off the map or "Out of city limits." Just keep following the road as it
twists and turns, and eventually, you'll find yourself at Clark's Motel.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy drives to the motel just outside of the city and parks the car next
to the building. They all get out.)
Paulie: Wait for us here, Tom, we'll be back in a bit.
Tommy: Okay.
Paulie: Let's go.
(Paulie and Sam go into the motel. Tommy smokes a cigarette while he is
waiting for them. Suddenly several gunshots are heard. The door opens and
Paulie walks out, holding a wound in his stomach.)
Paulie: Shit... Bastards... Tom, I... I took one...
(He collapses.)
Paulie: It hurts...
(Tommy rushes to help him.)
Tommy: Jesus Christ, Paulie!
(A gangster appears at the door and points his gun at Tommy.)
Gangster: Tell Salieri, from here on out this place is ours! Capisci? Don't
come back here or you'll end up in worse shape than your friends.
(The gangster walks back inside and closes the door.)
Paulie: Get Sam... They want to beat some information out of him, get him
out of there...
Tommy: But I gotta get you to a doctor...
Paulie: That'll wait, first get Sam...
(Tommy drags Paulie next to their car and takes out his pistol.)
Tommy: Screw regular routine!
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 04-03 Ordinary Routine-Clark's Motel
New Objective (E): Save Sam
If you go up to the motel's front door, you'll discover that it's locked.
You'll have to find another way inside so that you can save Sam. You should
also notice a very nice looking, bright yellow car (Lassiter V16 Phaeton) to
your left. If you want to save yourself some trouble, follow this alternate
path:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternate Path: Before trying to get inside the motel, go up to the Lassiter
V16 Phaeton parked outside. Using your S&W Model 10 M&P, fire directly at the
center of one of the tires (at the hubcap). After four shots, the wheel should
fall off. You could shoot off all the wheels, but this isn't advised since it
would leave you with very little ammo, and after all, you only need to shoot
one off for this strategy to work. For reference, this alternate path will
allow you to skip the (somewhat difficult) final part of this mission.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to regular path: Whether or not you shot off one of the Phaeton's wheels,
you still have to get inside that motel. Circle around to the left. You should
see a dog running around outside. You can kill it, but you might waste too much
of your ammo doing this. It's better simply to avoid it. In either case, don't
touch it, as you will take some damage if you do. You should see some boxes on
your right. Use the jump key (default: E) to climb up onto the wooden platform.
Then climb up the "stairway of boxes," and finally onto the balcony. The door
here is unlocked, so enter.
Once inside the motel, you should be aware of what you're up against. There is
one gangster sitting on the toilet in the small bathroom to your right. There
are three more gangsters downstairs that will come up and start attacking
you as soon as you open fire. Finally, there are another three enemies who will
remain on the main floor. But before you do anything, the first order of
business to facilitate your mission is to head straight forward and a little to
the left. There should be a door right in front of you (NOT the one down the
hall). Go inside here, and you should see a Thompson sitting on the bed. Though
it only has one clip (50 rounds), it will make your mission much easier.
Leave this room, go into the bathroom and quickly kill the man sitting on the
toilet before he has time to draw his weapon. Turn around and crouch down.
Three gangsters should begin to climb up the stairs. From your crouched
position, you should be able to hit them in the head or upper torso before they
can fire at you. I'd use the Thompson, but you can use the Model 10 or a Colt
1911 (taken from the gangster in the bathroom) if you'd like. The three men who
climb the stairs have an S&W Model 10 M&P, an S&W Model 27 Magnum, and a Colt
1911.
If you find yourself heavily injured after that encounter, there is a health
cabinet on this level. If you'd like to use it, head down the short hallway on
the upper floor. Enter the room through the door on the right (at the end of
the hallway). Go through the other door at the back of this room. In the
bathroom, you should see the cabinet, which will heal you 30 points. Realize,
though, that it will only heal you up to 100 health (i.e. it's a waste if your
health is still more than 70).
Next, head down the stairway slowly. The hallway at the bottom of the stairs
has two open doorways, both on the left. As you slowly approach the first one,
a gangster should start shooting at you. Take cover behind the doorway,
hopefully before you get hit. If you want to count rounds, after six shots, his
Model 10 will need to be reloaded. Quickly move towards the door and hit him
repeatedly in the head (most of his body is obscured by the pool table anyway).
However, be sure not to lean too far out into the doorway, as there are
two other gangsters who will make short work of you if you do.
After the first one is dead, slowly edge farther down the hall until you can
get some shots off at the next gangster. The final enemy is hiding behind the
bar and is armed with a Thompson. If you have any rounds left in your own
Thompson, now would be a good time to put them to use. Either dart quickly out
and hit him in the head until he goes down (don't give him time to retaliate),
or run down the hallway and fire at him from the second doorway before he turns
to face you. Unlike the other gangsters, try to avoid letting him empty his
clip before you attack. Once you kill him, you're going to take his Thompson,
and you'll want it to have as much ammo in it as possible.
Once all of these gangsters are dead, a man in a will come running out of the
back room and attempt to hit you with his fists. That's right, his fists. Take
him down however you please. Then head into the room he just burst out of. You
will see Sam laying on the ground, clearly injured. A cinematic will occur and
Tommy will help Sam to his feet and try to help him escape.
[Cinematic]
Man: Lookee here, another customer for a face job! C'mon then, sonny.
(The man attacks Tommy with his fists but Tommy kills him. Then he enters
the room from which the man came out. Sam is lying on the floor inside.)
Tommy: Get up, Sam, it's over. He really went to work on you, buddy.
(Tommy helps Sam get up.)
Sam: Argh, Christ...
Tommy: It's nothing, you'll be alright... The doctor'll put you back
together again. You tough as nails.
(As they slowly walk out of the room, a man comes up on them from the back
and punches Tommy in the face, which flings him away.)
Tommy: Oh shit!
[End of cinematic]
The same man who tried to hit you with his fists is still alive somehow, and
lands a powerful blow on Tommy. You will immediately regain control, but now
the man has a Colt Detective Special. Kill him as quickly as you can (probably
using the Thompson). After he's dead, return to where Sam is laying, propped up
against the table.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: That's it, I'll get you back in the car. Everything'll be okay...
(Suddenly another gangster appears from a room next to the bar and points
his gun at Tommy and Sam. He holds the bag of money in his other hand.)
Gangster: DON'T MOVE, SCUMBAG! Or I'll fill you with holes! C'mon! Just try
it. You won't get past me!
Tommy: Sure thing, buddy. Just stay cool... everything's okay... just go...
no problem.
Gangster: Just try it.
(The gangster walks out of the motel.)
Sam: Noo... got... our... dough... get him...
[End of cinematic]
New Objective (F): Kill the man who stole your money
Now if you took the alternate path, and shot a tire off of the Lassiter, the
man will just be standing there with a Colt 1911. He's pretty pathetic. Just a
few shots and he'll go down, and the mission will end. If however, you left
his Lassiter intact, he'll be in it, driving away, as you burst out through the
door. You can try to hit him in the head, but you'll probably miss. Quickly
jump into your Bolt Model B Fordor and give chase. Soon the game will be saved.
Game saved: 04-04 Ordinary Routine-Get Him!
This is nothing more than a simple car chase. The reason that it can be a
challenge is that your target is driving a high-end luxury car, whereas you're
driving a fairly standard vehicle. In general, he will be able to pull away
from you without any difficulty. Also, his Lassiter is much heavier than your
Model B. Even if you try to sideswipe him and cut him off, he can just plow
through and keep going, leaving you in the dust. Your best chance is if he
hits oncoming traffic. Because the Lassiter is so long, he will probably
fishtail. Get in front of him and quickly jump out of your car. Then gun him
down as fast as you can.
If you'd like to do the "Get Him!" part of this mission (not use the alternate
route), but are finding it too difficult, you can shoot out the Phaeton's tires
(not wheels) at the beginning of the Clark Motel segment. If he has flat
tires, he won't be able to go nearly as fast, and the car chase will be much
easier.
Regardless of how, when you finally do kill him, the mission will end almost
instantly.
Tommy: If that's regular routine, I wonder what the next job will be
like.
MISSION COMPLETE.

[Cinematic]
1938
(Tommy and Detective Norman continue their conversation. Norman is taking
notes.)
Tommy: That's how I got in. One minute a regular cabby, the next a
respected Mafioso.
Norman: You were all right with killing people? Usually people have a
problem with that.
Tommy: You know... I ain't one of those people with a thirst for blood. I
don't need violence in my life, and I don't look for trouble. But I also
don't have any remorse. They wanted to outsmart us, so we had to outsmart
them. No excuses. It was all the same to me, I wasn't interested in the
fates of other people. Everybody said it was just business and that the
family sticks together... It was different from living alone and nobody
givin' a damn about you. Suddenly, you're respected by all the people you
meet. Everybody knows you can help them, but you can also destroy their
lives. And everybody tries to ingratiate themselves to you.
Norman: And what about the police? You walked away, just like that, from a
massacre? Didn't you have any problem with that?
Tommy: You work for the police. You ought to know. You know the mafia runs
the whole city. The Salieri family makes over 25 million bucks every year.
The papers were full of it, but nobody saw nothing... if they wanted to
stay alive. We paid off the bureaucrats 6 grand a month. Your bosses had
liquor at trade price and got pay-offs for 'special jobs' from both Salieri
and Morello. Case closed, lack of evidence. Cops would even move shipments
of drink for us. I guess you'd have heard something about that.
Norman: So what about your two friends?
Tommy: Well, they were better off than you'd think. Salieri had a good doc
for his boys, and it's not like he ever asked any questions. In a few
weeks, they'd be healthy and back on the streets again. The only one who
worried us was Morello. He wanted to be the big cheese, which Salieri
couldn't let him do. Salieri had no intention of being in second place. You
know... a person becomes a Don because of his thirst for power, and he
doesn't care about any other rules than his own.
Tommy: That's how it is, detective - so he'd be his own boss, independent
of the police, of the state, of anyone. That's why a person becomes a Don.
Salieri and Morello both wanted it all. They kept sparring with each other,
but they both knew that if it all blew up it would be hell. The big
difference between them was in their methods - I heard a little story about
Morello...
(Morello's car is seen driving to a crossroads in the city. It stops
abruptly and the car just behind accidentally crashes into it. Morello and
his men get out angrily, and the man in the other car gets out too.)
Man: I... I... I'm sorry, sir. I... I... I didn't mean it...
Morello: YOU IDIOT! D'YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE? D'YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT
CAR COST?
Man: I... I... I was driving slowly, Mr. Morello. I... I don't know how...
Morello: D'YOU MEAN TO SAY... THAT I... I CRASHED INTO YOUR CAR?
Man: Err... no... sir... I only... I wanted... It's no... sir...
(Morello punches the man and proceeds to repeatedly smash his head on his
car.)
Morello: No... bas-tard... gets... in... my... way!
(Morello kicks the corpse of the man and returns to his car. A policeman
nearby watches the whole spectacle but does nothing. Then the camera
switches back to Tommy and Norman.)
Tommy: Salieri built his respect as a businessman. Everybody knew that they
didn't need to fear him if they did what they should. They knew that if
they needed something, they could come to Mr. Salieri. So Salieri made
friends, often helped people with various problems, and expected the same
in return. When somebody crossed him, they broke a cardinal rule and
everybody knew what would happen. Morello was just a mean bastard. He built
his power through violence. Even his friends feared him. Most people just
tried to avoid him.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
1932
(Tommy and Salieri are sitting at a table in the front area of the bar.)
Salieri: Listen, Tommy, I have a delicate job for you. I don't know anyone
else who could do it better than you. You're a good driver, and you have
experience. Well, to make it simple, tomorrow all the best motors are gonna
race at the city track and I bet on one kid who's been a favorite up until
now. I helped him along in his career a little. I like fast cars and I said
to myself that I could make back a little on that investment.
Salieri: You understand... And then Ralphy starts saying that some European
has come over and his car is certain to win. Ralphy knows cars, he's real
good with them, but otherwise he's a complete moron. What, he couldn't have
told me BEFORE I bet on that kid? But still, what the hell is a guy, God
knows from where, doing here, these are American races! Me and the
Consiglieri here were thinking about what to do, because a lot of our boys
have bet the same as me and they certainly wouldn't be happy if they lost
their dough. And how would that make me look? Like an old idiot, Tommy! I
can't let that happen.
Salieri: We thought with our consiglieri about what to do with it. If
something happens to him - that's no way, it won't be fair play, I won't
enjoy my winning at all. Ralph told me that he knows a guy who guards the
race-track garage. Tonight you're gonna go there and take this European's
car to a mechanic who knows his way around these machines. He'll take a
look at theirs and maybe improve ours. As soon as he's finished working on
it, you'll take it back. It's important that the car is back in its place
before anybody catches on. And don't even think about crashing it or
getting caught by the cops. Are we clear?
Tommy: Yes, boss.
Salieri: If you pull it off, you'll, of course, get a share of the
winnings. Now, go. Ralph will tell you where and how.
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 05-01 Fairplay-Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Talk to Ralph
At the start of the mission, there will be a cinematic where Salieri explains
What you have to do. After the cinematic ends, walk around the bar and
out into the back lot. There will be a large fire in the middle of the lot,
and Ralph will be tinkering around in the garage. Go up to him, and he'll come
out from under the Bolt Model B Coupe he's working on. Like Salieri, he'll
give you some information about your mission.
Tommy: Hey, Ralphy, you got some news about this job?
Ralph: S... Sure, Tommy. You need to go to the c... city race track and
borrow that m... m... motor there. My f... friend B... Bobby works there.
Go round back there and a... along the w... way is the gate... gatehouse.
T... Tell B... Bobby that Ralph s... sent you and Bobby'll take you to the
car. It... It's already been agreed w... with him. Y... You's have to take
it to the auto service of my f... friend Lucas Bertone. It's in New Ark
under the Giuliano Bridge. He'll t... take a look at it and t... tune it a
little. And then you just take it back.
Tommy: This should be easy enough...
Ralph: But y... you've gotta get it done before 1:15 AM when the guard
changes, so that nobody kn... knows that somebody drove the motor in the
night. Th... there can't even be a scratch on it a... and try to avoid the
c... cops. Th... They mustn't catch you!
Tommy: Hmmm... and how'll I get there?
(Ralph shows Tommy to a Schubert Six car.)
Ralph: Well, I've got something new in. Ain't no big thing to sw... swipe
one. W... Watch. You just stick a piece of w... wire in here and twist it a
little and you get inside where you gotta join these two wires.
Tommy: Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Ralphy.
Ralph: Now don't you go sparing the gas, Tom. Heh-heh!
During this exchange, Ralph will lead you across the back lot to the red
Schubert Six parked in the corner. He'll show you how to pick the lock of this
car, and like before, this means that you can now steal any Schubert Six model
you may come across. Pick the lock, get in, and drive out of the car lot.
Before you leave and reach a save point, you'll notice your new objective.
New Objective (B): Find Bobby
Leave the Salieri lot and head out into the city. You'll have your game saved
once the city loads.
Game saved: 05-02 Fairplay-City
As soon as you get out into the city, you should notice that you have a timer.
Remember, like Ralph said, this entire mission has to be finished by 1:15 AM.
Clearly, you don't have time to mess around. Your target - Bobby - can be found
by the gate to the racing circuit. This racetrack is outside of the city, west
from the southwestern exit. To get there, head west through Little Italy until
you reach the Works Quarter. Then head south, switching streets and turning
quite a corners until you reach the bottom left of your map. At this point, you
should see a road leading west off of the edge of the map. Drive down this road
when you reach it. You will go out of the city limits and onto a country road.
Continue driving until you reach a gate. This is where you will encounter
Bobby.
Stop near the gate, and Bobby should walk out of the gatehouse to your right.
Get out of your Schubert Six and talk to him.
Bobby: Evenin', you must be Ralph's friend.
Tommy: That's right.
Bobby: Okay, we'll take your car.
After a small chat with Tommy, he'll walk forward and open the gate. DON'T
immediately jump back in your Schubert Six and drive off. Stop and wait for him
to climb in the passenger seat. If you raced away, you'd have to come back and
get him anyway, and that would cost you precious time.
Bobby: Go in and over to the garage
With Bobby in the car, drive forward past the gate and through the tunnel.
Follow the road/path here to your next objective. Once you're close, step out
of the car and move towards the garage. After again reminding you of the
shortness of time, Bobby will follow you and open the doors.
Bobby: Okay, we're here, buddy. Come on, we haven't got a lot of time!
(Bobby opens one of the doors. The race car is inside.)
Tommy: Okay, is that it?
Bobby: Yeah, buddy, be real careful. There can't even be a scratch on it.
And avoid the cops like the devil, cause this car'll be real obvious.
Tommy: That's right.
Bobby: In about half an hour the second guard'll come, so you gotta be back
by then, buddy. And be real careful, that car goes fast. Maybe it's the
fastest car in the world, who knows?
Tommy: Sure, Bobby, no problem. I'll take care of it in a half hour.
After a short chat, your game will be saved, and you'll have a new objective.
Game saved: 05-03 Fairplay-The Racing Circuit
New Objective (C): Deliver the sports car to Lucas Bertone without damaging
it.
Hop in the Carozella C-Otto 4WD in front of you. If you're having trouble,
realize that you can only enter from the car's right side. Slowly drive out
of the garage. From here, you're basically going to drive back the way you
came. However, like Bobby said, the car goes FAST. Don't believe me? Get
yourself lined up and step on the gas. That's right, it DOES go fast. However,
you still should have a fair amount of time, and it's much better to go slower
(by which I mean 50-75 mph) than absurdly fast (90+ mph) and risk a crash,
since this would force you to start over from the garage.
A few other things you should know about this car: It has no headlights,
so your visibility in the dark will be severely worsened. Also, it has no
horn, so you'll have a harder time making other cars move out of your way. In
addition, you have probably noticed the damage bar at the bottom of the
screen. If this fills up all the way, you fail the mission. A light collision
that wouldn't mean anything in another car will fill it up 1/4 - 1/3 of the
way. A major collision means almost certain failure. Finally, though it would
probably destroy the car anyway, if you land upside down, Tommy will be killed
instantly.
Anyway, drive the car out of the garage and down the road. Go through the
gate, down the country road, and continue into the main city. Chose what route
you're going to take across the Works Quarter. Whatever way you go, you're
going to want to take the West Marshall Bridge over to Southern Central
Island. When you get to the other side, find your way onto the main street that
runs north-south down the center of the island. Take it north, and bear right
when you reach the Y-intersection. Be careful about driving on the tram tracks
in the center, though. They have a tendency to flip cars over. Anyway, take the
Giuliano Bridge across the East River and into New Ark. Stay to the left on the
bridge as there are a large number of cars blocking the right lane (see "notes"
in the post-mission wrap up).
As soon as you're on the other side of the river, coming down the bridge,
start to slow down. When you reach the part where the road flattens out again,
turn left (slowly). This is before the intersection, though. You should be able
to slowly drive down a small alleyway, going exactly the opposite way that you
were going before. At the bottom, you should reach the road that goes along
the waterfront in New Ark. Turn left, drive a couple hundred feet, and turn
left again into Lucas Bertone's (again, go slowly when maneuvering in these
tight areas). If you don't understand these instructions, you could just go
around, but this is the fastest way.
Once you reach Lucas Bertone's, a cinematic will play in which Tommy drives the
car in, and Lucas begins tinkering with it.
[Cinematic]
Lucas: Hey there, you're from Mr. Salieri, right? I'm Lucas Bertone.
Tommy: Hi, I'm Tom.
(They shake hands.)
Tommy: They say you can take the bite out of this monster.
Lucas: I reckon so.
Tommy: Well, you'd better get movin', we only have 27 minutes left.
Lucas: Hmmm, it ain't much time. We'll see what can be done. You can hang
out a while.
(Tommy goes out and smokes a cigarette. After a while he comes back.)
Tommy: Hey, how's it going in there?
Lucas: Just finished. You can go.
(Tommy gets in the car.)
Lucas: But you're gonna have to hurry, it ain't gonna run as well as when
you first brought it in.
Tommy: Thanks, Mr. Salieri appreciates your work.
Lucas: Sure, give my regards to him. If he ever needs anything again I'd be
glad to help out. I bet on the same driver as him...
[End of cinematic]
Once the cinematic is complete, your game will be saved and you'll have a new
objective.
Game saved: 05-04 Fairplay-Lucas Bertone
New Objective (D): Return the sports car to the garage at the race track
The return trip may be more difficult, as the car is weaker, and the clock will
still be ticking. However, you already know the way back. It's just exactly the
opposite of how you got to Lucas' garage. I'll spare you the repetitive
instructions on how to get there. Again, make sure to avoid damage as much as
possible. Once you return the car to the garage, Bobby will thank you and talk
a little more about how practically everyone bet on Salieri's car.
Bobby: So you pulled it off, buddy! And the car isn't even scratched!
Tommy: Thanks, Bobby. It really 'was' the fastest car in the world.
Bobby: Sure is, we're lucky you managed it. I bet on the Don's car, too.
Tommy: It seems everybody did.
Bobby: I bet on it, so did almost everybody in my neighborhood.
Tommy: I figure the driver's pretty important too.
Bobby: Sure. Well, I won't keep you. Goodnight.
Tommy: Take care, Bobby. Thanks for the help.
Game saved: 05-05 Fairplay-Return to Salieri's Bar
New Objective (E): Return to Salieri's
Get back in your Schubert Six and make the much slower drive back to
Salieri's. No time limit, no sweat. Once you reach the bar, the mission will
end.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
Tommy: Hey, Luigi.
Luigi: Hey, Tommy.
Tommy: Where is everybody?
Luigi: They're all at the track, you're late.
Tommy: I needed to get a little sleep after last night's job.
Luigi: Sure.
(The phone rings. Luigi answers it.)
Luigi: Hello?
Luigi: Yes... Sir, he just got in... Sure... That's for you, Tom.
(He gives it to Tommy.)
Tommy: Hello?
Frank: Frank here, Tom! You did well yesterday, but now we need your help
again. Come over to the racing track right away. That guy who was supposed
to win the race got his arm broken by some thug. Probably no coincidence...
Anyway, you're gonna have to race.
Tommy: But... but... Frank... I...
Frank: Tom, it's a half an hour before the race, and I don't have time to
teach someone else how to drive. Christ Tom, this concerns a big bag of
money. I hope you understand that?
Tommy: Yeah... okay... Frank, but...
Frank: So I expect to see you here at the track in a few minutes.
(Frank hangs up the phone. Tommy hangs it up too.)
Luigi: You don't look too excited...
Tommy: That's because I ain't.
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 06-01 Fairplay-Salieri Bar
After the opening cinematic, you'll get your first objective.
New Objective (A): Drive to the racetrack and find Frank
Head out into the back lot of the bar. However, since everyone is at the
racetrack, there's no one there. Even Ralph is nowhere to be seen. So
even though you have no new car, you're going to have to get there quickly.
Get into any car that you've collected thus far in the game. Even if you never
stole any additional cars and brought them back to the lot, you should still
have a green Bolt Ace Fordor, a brown Bolt Model B Fordor, a red Schubert Six,
and possibly a blue Falconer. Pick any of these cars, or anything else that
you've stolen so far. I'd recommend the Schubert Six or the Falconer (if you
have it), because once you leave, there will be a time limit. Anyway, choose
your car, get in, and drive into the city.
Game saved: 06-02 Fairplay-City
Once in the city, make your way to the racetrack. After doing the previous
mission, I'm pretty sure that you can find your way there without any
difficulty. The good news is that it's daylight and you have no car damage to
worry about. The bad news is that you've got a somewhat strict time limit, a
slower car, and the police are back out on the streets. Once you reach the
racetrack, another cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Frank: Hey, Tommy, I knew we could count on you.
Tommy: You really want me to do this? I've never raced before!
Frank: Okay, I know it won't be easy, but we don't have a choice. If you
can do it, we won't lose out...
Tommy: Do I look like I can do this? I don't even know the rules.
Frank: Look, it's a cake walk. You go five laps, and you need to come in
first for us to win. If you come in second the dough's lost. But since we
tuned that clown's car a little everything should go smoothly. Also, at
those speeds it's quite normal for someone to bang into you, so watch out
for those other bastards. Good luck, Tom... I know you can do it.
(Frank walks away a few steps.)
Tommy: Well, I don't believe it.
(Frank turns back.)
Frank: Tom, half the neighborhood and all our boys bet on the Don's boy. Do
you know what it would mean if you lost? The Don would lose. You would lose
all the respect which we've busted our asses to build up. People gave us
their trust as well as their dough. Do you understand what's at stake?
Tommy: Yeah, I got it, Frank... I understand.
Frank: Take it easy, son. Show them what you're made of.
[End of cinematic]
After some inspiring words from Frank, the game will be saved, and the race
will begin.
Game saved: 06-03 Fairplay-Before the race
If you are running Mafia version 1.1 or 1.2, you will have a menu come up
before the race begins, allowing you to choose difficulty (very easy, easy,
normal, hard, extreme) and whether or not you want damage enabled. If you're on
Mafia version 1.0, you won't get this menu. Anyway, set it however you like,
and get ready to race in your Brubaker 4WD.
Let me give you a basic outline of how this competition will play out. It is a
five-lap race over a small course. There are 13 racers, and one will drop out
right at the beginning (Martin Lichtenberg, the racer whose car you sabotaged
in the previous mission). You have to place 1st at the end of the 5th lap in
order to win the race and complete the mission; second place doesn't cut it.
All of the cars in the race will be going extremely fast, and this can be a
difficult mission if you don't know what to do.
There are many ways to make the race easier, aside from changing the difficulty
(if you have version 1.1 or higher). Many people have suggested that you change
your driving controls onto the numpad. However, this never made it any easier
for me. If you have a racing wheel/pedals, I'd recommend that you hook up and
calibrate those. It can make the race quite a bit less challenging. Also, using
manual transmission should allow you to get a leg up on the competition.
Really, though, the biggest help on this mission is experience. The race cars
in the game behave fairly realistically, so if you are experienced with racing
simulators or real-life racing, you should have somewhat of an advantage in
this mission. I am in no way suggesting that you "practice" by going out and
drag racing down the highway. I'm just saying that if you you've raced before,
you'll probably find this mission significantly easier.
Next, I'm going to walk you through every twist and turn on the course. Right
from the start, watch out for Martin Lichtenberg in the blue Carrozella C-Otto
4WD in front of you. His car will die and not move from its starting position.
Just weave around to avoid colliding with him. Continue forward down the short
opening straightaway. This first turn may be the most difficult in the entire
course. It goes around practically 180 degrees, so slow down quite a bit here
as you try to make it around the turn. You can attempt to cut the corner close
or drift around the outside, but doing so is not recommended. You may have to
try this part a few times, but you'll finally get a knack for making the turn.
If you slow down, it really shouldn't be too hard. I mean, look at how the
other drivers take it. That's right, slowly. Once you get through the turn,
continue down the next straightaway.
After a blocked-off road on your left, you'll reach a checkpoint, after which
the track curves to the right. Follow it, but be prepared for a medium turn
back to the left. This one isn't that hard, just don't try to cut it too close,
or you'll probably end up fishtailing it the dirt.
Continue going forward down the straightaway. There is a wide left turn at the
end here. Normally, it wouldn't be too hard to take this turn, but with all the
speed you've probably gathered from blasting straight ahead, you might overdo
it. Slow down a little and turn left. There's another checkpoint right here.
Next, there is an s-curve up ahead, but it's nothing serious. Still, before you
reach it, stay on the far right side of the track. When you get to the curve,
veer over to the left. If you had stayed in the middle or on the left, you
wouldn't be able to cut into the curve at the same angle. As a result, the rear
of your car would probably hit the red and white fringe on the right, causing
you to flip over.
As you enter the "forest" area, slow down and be prepared for some curves.
Start to turn gently to the left as soon as you go into this area. Make sure
not to take this one too wide, as you can go off into the trees and rocks,
which will almost guarantee a crash. After a short straightaway, take a banking
right turn. You'll hit another checkpoint.
From here, go straight a little farther, then turn left on the very steep
banking turn. Then it's the home stretch. Rev your engine and blast through
the final straightaway. Just remember that 180-degree turn coming up...
Congratulations, you've completed one lap. Only four more to go, heh heh...
A note about resetting: During the race, you can reset your car (Default:
Numpad 0). If you end up in a really ugly situation, you might want to use it.
However, be warned that your car has to disappear, reappear, then wait for
3...2...1...and then start rolling again from a stopped position. In other
words, using the reset will cost you a ton of time, all of your speed, and
likely your position in the race. Seriously, only use it if you HAVE to.
Another note: After the beginning of the race, Martin Lichtenberg's car is
moved off of the track onto the platform on the left. Therefore, when you come
roaring down the homestretch on each subsequent lap, you won't have to worry
about avoiding his car.
It may take you one try, or hours of frustration, but eventually, you will
finish the race in first place. When that happens, you'll get the best times
screen, and then a cinematic showing Tommy accept his trophy.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy wins. He receives his trophy in front of a cheering crowd. Afterwards,
there is a party at Salieri's Bar in celebration of his victory. Salieri talks
to Tommy during the party.)
Salieri: I knew you wouldn't let us down, Tommy! You are really one of us
now. A lot of people made a lot of money on that race, Tommy, and you get
all the credit, so you won't come out short. You should stop by and see
Lucas Bertone. He also bet and won a pile of money, so he wants to repay
you, too... somehow.
Tommy: Okay, I will.
(A woman talks to Tommy as he leaves.)
Woman: Congratulations, you big hero.
Tommy: Thanks.
[End of cinematic]
After it's all over, Salieri thanks Tommy and tells him to go see Lucas
Bertone, who won a ton of money as a result of Tommy's victory.
Game saved: 06-04 Fairplay-Victory
New Objective (B): Drive to Lucas Bertone's
You remember Lucas Bertone, don't you? He was the man Tommy delivered that
race car to for "tuning," earlier in "Fairplay." Drive to his auto shop under
the Giuliano Bridge (east side of the river). Once there, Tommy will walk in
and have a chat with Lucas.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: Hello, is there anyone home?
Lucas: Hey, Tommy! Right here.
Lucas: Tom, congratulations on winning! You did great. I didn't really
think you'd do it at first, but when you got going, I knew how it would
end. Thanks to you I won a big bag of money, and just so you know I'm not
ungrateful, I'll teach you a few tricks... See that beaut'?
(Lucas shows a large, yellow car to Tommy, a Lassiter V16 Phaeton.)
Lucas: You know I can't give you it, but I can show you how to lift one and
where. Watch how easy it is to get into this baby.
(Lucas shows him how to pick the car's lock.)
Lucas: There you go. Piece of cake.
Tommy: Okay, I figure I can manage that.
Lucas: There's another one that belongs to a loaded official down at City
Hall. During the day it sits in the car lot behind the Municipal Building
on Central Island.
Tommy: I think I might go and check if it's parked correctly.
Lucas: When you get tired of that, come back here. I always have something
new.
Tommy: Thanks, Lucas. I'll come by sometime after work. I'll be seein' you.
[End of cinematic]
Do you recognize that car in the cinematic? It's the Lassiter V16 Phaeton that
the gangster tried to escape in during the mission "Ordinary Routine." Also,
take note of Lucas' suggestion to come back later. Throughout the game, after
most missions, you can take a few extra minutes to stop by Lucas' place. He'll
almost always have some new expensive car for you to steal. Anyway, after the
cinematic, the game will be saved, and you'll have a new objective.
Game saved: 06-05 Fairplay-Lucas Bertone
New Objective (C): Steal the Lassiter parked near the Municipal building.
The Municipal building is at the south end of Central Island. Take either the
Giuliano or East Marshall Bridge over there, then head south. When you get
close to the building, you should see the Lassiter parked outside. There are
usually police officers wandering around here, so watch out. Once you're sure
no one is watching, quickly run up and steal the Lassiter. Once the lock is
picked, you're home free. Hop in the car, and you'll get your final objective.
New Objective (D): Return to Salieri's
From here, just make your way back to the bar. Don't worry about whatever car
you brought here. Any of Ralph's cars that you take on a mission will
automatically be returned to the garage when the mission ends. The only
exception to this is if the car is completely destroyed (blown-up or sunk).
Anyway, once you reach Salieri's the mission will end.
Tommy: (narrating) And so I made a few new friends and got my first luxury
car. It didn't seem so bad being a gangster.

WALKTHROUGH
Game saved: 07-01 Sarah-Salieri Bar
[Cinematic]
(Tommy is sitting at the bar, having a drink.)
Tommy: (narrating) One evening, after a slow day, I was sitting alone at
Salieri's and just drinking. Luigi came over to me and asked me if I
wouldn't do him a favor.
Luigi: Hey, Tommy, you know my daughter, right?
(Tommy looks at the girl, who has previously been seen in some chapters
working at the bar.)
Tommy: Yeah, Luigi. Nice girl. You must be proud.
Luigi: Thanks, Tommy. She sometimes helps out here behind the bar. Thing
is, I don't want her to walk home alone tonight. Only yesterday, some
stupid punks gave her some problems. You know with all that dirty talk and
all that. You know I am worried about the girl, so I thought that maybe you
could see her home. It's not far away... You're a gentleman, and you have a
lot of respect in this neighborhood. Those punks wouldn't try anything with
you around.
Tommy: No problem, Luigi. It'll be a walk in the park.
Luigi: Oh, Tom, you cannot imagine how grateful I am. Damn, I was worried,
no one knows who these guys are! Come in for lunch tomorrow, and I'll do
you something special... Sarah, come over here!
(Sarah walks over to Tommy and Luigi.)
Luigi: Sarah, this is Tommy.
(They shake hands.)
Luigi: He'll take you home and make sure those punks don't bother you
anymore.
Sarah: Hello, thanks a lot. It won't take you long. I don't live very far
from here. Let me get my coat and then we can go.
Tommy: Okay, I'll wait for you outside.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic and a short chat with Sarah, you will be in
control of Tommy, right outside the Salieri Bar. Your game will be saved, and
you'll have a new objective.
Game saved: 07-02 Sarah-Moonlight Stroll
New Objective (A): Escort Sarah on her way home.
This objective isn't at all difficult, at least at first. Just walk along with
Sarah. You can try to keep pace (use the walk/run toggle or walk key), or just
run circles around her. As Tommy and Sarah walk along, they'll talk a little
bit. Again, all you need to do is just follow along with her. The real action
won't start for a while. However, you will notice that you have knuckle dusters
in your inventory. Go ahead and equip these, just don't practice using them on
Sarah.
Sarah: It's really nice of you to be doin' this. Those clowns were really
strange. I was really nervous.
Tommy: No problem, Paulie and I'll deal with those trouble-makers later...
Sarah: So, you also work for Mr. Salieri, don't you? He's a nice man, he's
always a lot of fun.
Tommy: Yeah, I work for him sometimes. But we usually ain't laughing and
havin' fun.
Sarah: So, what do you actually do?
Tommy: Hm, I usually just chauffeur the Don around. Even though he
occasionally surprises me - like when he wanted me to drive in the race...
Sarah: Yeah, I saw that. You drove really well.
Tommy: Ah, I was just real lucky.
Sarah: You're so modest. It had to be more than luck to beat those guys.
Tommy: Well, I used to drive a taxi... and the only real racing I've ever
done was the night before.
Sarah: There you go. You see, you got talent!
Tommy: Hmm... you might be right. Anyway, it wasn't too pretty. I don't
like being in the spotlight.
Sarah will turn left into an alleyway. This is where the action begins. Some of
the "punks" who attacked her earlier show up here. They seem unfazed by Tommy's
threatening tone. A fight is imminent, so get ready.
[Cinematic]
Thug: Hey, lookee here! Who's the cute pair?
Sarah: There they are!
Thug: What's up? You were alone last night, darling, and tonight you have a
boyfriend.
Tommy: Boys, I think it would be better if you'd just go away and not make
any problems.
Thug: I think that the only one here with a problem is you, chief.
Tommy: If I were in your shoes, I'd leave right now. You never know what
might happen.
Thug: We'll see, lover boy!
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 07-03 Sarah-Surprise.
Sarah: Help! Help, we're being attacked!
After the cinematic, the three men will run towards you and attack with melee
weapons. Sarah will run around, trying to hide as best she can. Though the
thugs don't often attack her, if she dies, the mission will be failed. A very
helpful secret here, that many people miss, is the plank. From where you are
ambushed, right in front of you, there should be a board leaning up against the
wall on your right. If you go up to it and hit action, you'll pick up the
plank. This is a very effective weapon for this mission because it allows you
to keep your distance from the thugs.
As Sarah tries to flee, run after her, making sure to hit anyone who's trying
to hurt her. In general, if you see her health going down, get over there and
rescue her. Just hit her attacker a few times, and they'll probably focus their
attention on you instead. Despite how that sounds, it is the result you want,
since you can actually take these guys.
In the next area, you will be assaulted by even more thugs. Though you might be
tempted to charge up full power swings, that isn't the best strategy here.
Instead, what works best is to face your enemies and walk steadily backwards,
continually swinging (no charge whatsoever). Assuming that no one is behind
you, you should be hit very little, if at all, while still inflicting tons of
damage on your enemies. After numerous hits, one of these thugs will drop their
weapon, put their hands above their head, and run away. Don't bother chasing
him, just focus on the guys still attacking you. As the crowd thins out, you
can try charging some of your swings, though you certainly don't have to. After
all the enemies run away, you can progress.
You should notice that Sarah has just stood up from where she was crouching. Go
over to her and interact with the action button. She'll thank Tommy, and offer
to look at his wound once they get to her apartment.
Sarah: Oh, thank you! If you hadn't been there I don't know what would have
happened.
Tommy: That's okay, Sarah. Anytime.
Sarah: I was really scared, Tom. Are you okay? Come on, we're almost home,
I'll take a look at you there.
From here, just follow her as she makes her way to her apartment. Just walk her
the rest of the way home, and that'll be the end of this half mission.
Sarah: I live alone right next door to pop. My mother left us not long
after I was born. So, you work with Paulie too? He's really funny.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. He's really funny. I always said that he could have been
an actor.
Sarah: Sometimes he acts real strange, it's really creepy. I don't know how
a person can change moods so suddenly. He must have gone through a lot in
his life.
Tommy: Yeah, he's been around the block a few times. He grew up on the
streets and everything rubbed off on him, maybe that's why he behaves kind
of rough to strangers. He's real grateful to Don Salieri. Who knows what
would have happened if he hadn't taken him under his wing.
Sarah: Yeah, Mr. Salieri even helped out my dad a lot. He's almost like a
grandfather to me.
Tommy: Yeah, Don Salieri's a good guy.
(They arrive at her house.)
Sarah: Okay, here we are. Come inside.
[Cinematic]
Sarah: So this is my kingdom. Come in and take a load off, I'll have a look
at your wounds.
Tommy: This is quite a kingdom.
(Tommy sits on the bed while Sarah takes first-aid materials from a
cabinet.)
Sarah: Roll up your sleeves, sir, help is at hand.
(She sits next to him and checks his wounded wrist.)
Sarah: Well, let's have a look... Hmm... It doesn't look too serious...
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, that's true. They looked a lot worse than they are.
Sarah: Hmm... Hold on a second, I'll clean it.
(She cleans and bandages his wrist.)
Sarah: There you go, it didn't even hurt.
Tommy: Thank you.
Sarah: It's me who should be thanking you.
(They look at each other for a few seconds.)
Sarah: Would you care for a drink, Tom?
Tommy: Well, I could use a little whiskey, if you got it.
Sarah: Sure thing.
(Sarah goes to get the whiskey.)
Tommy: (to himself) This evening's gettin' interesting.
(Sarah comes back with a glass.)
Sarah: Here you go, hero! So, do you swing?
Tommy: What?
Sarah: Do you like dancing? Music? I have a gramophone.
Tommy: Yeah, I like music.
(She turns the gramophone on, comes back and kneels by the bed next to
Tommy.)
Sarah: Are Salieri's men tough with everyone?
Tommy: We'll try to be gentle with people sometimes.
Sarah: Some of you, maybe... But only a few... And are you one of Salieri's
tough guys?
Tommy: Only sometimes...
(Sarah sits on the bed next to him.)
Sarah: Well, I think you're a very good bad man...
Tommy: Sometimes I'm even a very bad good man.
(They kiss. Next, they are shown together in the bed.)
Tommy: (narrating) Sarah was an angel. I had a lot of girls before that,
but that was something different. Very different. It was clear to me that
if I was going to spend the rest of my life with someone, it would be with
her.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy, Salieri, Frank, Paulie and Sam are having a meeting in the backroom
of the bar.)
Tommy: (narrating) The very next day I told Salieri what happened with the
punks. The gang of hoodlums had set up residence in his territory, causing
trouble and scaring good people. Don Salieri was not pleased.
Salieri: What? In my territory? The nerve! And, on top of that, they attack
defenseless women! Did anything happen to Sarah, Tommy?
Tommy: No, boss. She's okay... I took care of it.
Salieri: Good. Why the hell didn't Luigi say something? We could have taken
care of this immediately. I won't stand for those chicken shits attacking
people in my territory. Who do they think they are? They pay me for
protection, so we've gotta get these punks and put them where they belong.
Paulie: Me and Tom'll fix it. Do those bastards think this is freakin'
Luna park, or something? I'll rip 'em apart with my own hands.
Salieri: Paulie, Paulie, take it easy. Nobody's killing anybody, get it? I
want you to teach them a lesson. Break every bone in their bodies and leave
'em laying in a pool of their own blood. Make sure those bastards need
wheelchairs. Little kids'll laugh at their busted faces. Let everybody see
what happens when somebody trashes my territory.
Tommy: Sounds interesting, boss.
Paulie: That ain't a bad idea at all...
Salieri: We'll need to find out where they're located. Big Biff might know
something. He's always standing around at Chinatown. Go find him and ask
him.
Paulie: No problem, boss.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic, which is highlighted by an impassioned speech by
Don Salieri, Tommy and Paulie will be sent to their informant in Chinatown.
Game saved: 07-04 Better Get Used To It-Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Go to see Vincenzo and get a weapon
Find Biff in Chinatown and ask him where the hoodlums are hiding
Right off the bat, follow Paulie into the bar. You'll notice that if you talk
to him, Luigi will thank you for helping Sarah (this is different from his
usual response).
Luigi: Tom, thank you! Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't walked
Sarah home! I am indebted to you.
Walk around the bar and then into the back lot. Head outside and up the stairs
to Vincenzo's workshop. Once there, Vincenzo will give you a baseball bat
(supposedly autographed, not that it's of any relevance) and a Colt 1911.
Vincenzo: Salute, boys! So, what'll it be today?
Paulie: We gotta give a few clowns a good beating, Vinny.
Vincenzo: The best bet would be these superb bats. This one here's
autographed by one of the MVPs of the league.
(Vincenzo puts a bat on the table.)
Tommy: Wow, I can't believe it. Is this really his?
Vincenzo: Well... to tell you the truth it ain't. But if you're smashing
someone in the face with it, they certainly won't question ya.
Paulie: We'll need some heaters too. You never know.
Vincenzo: My words exactly! I've got these Colt 1911s, great automatics.
Paulie: Thanks Vinnie.
Follow Paulie back out and down the stairs. You can go and talk to Ralph if
you'd like, but he doesn't have any new cars for you. All he'll give you is a
list of the ones you already have. If you'd like, you can click on one to have
it removed from the garage. However, I seriously doubt that by this point, your
garage is even half full. Anyway, take any of your cars and drive out of the
lot. I'd really recommend the Phaeton. Not only does it look good, but it is
the best car that you have, and the end of this mission is a car chase, meaning
that its capabilities will be put to the test.
Once you're out in the city, your game will be saved. Your objective will also
change, though it's only that the "Go and see Vincenzo and get a weapon" has
been removed.
Game saved: 07-05 Better Get Used To It-City
New Objective (B): Find Biff in Chinatown and ask him where the hoodlums are
hiding.
Up until this point, Chinatown has been closed off, and you were unable to
drive there. However, it is now "unlocked," and it's time to make your way in
that direction. Simply drive north, and you'll probably come upon one of the
hills that lead up into the neighborhood. If you're having difficulty, just use
your map. The fastest way to get there is to turn left from Salieri's, then
turn left again into the alleyway where Sarah and Tommy were attacked in the
previous mission. After going through to the next street, cut through the park
and then take the hill north into Chinatown.
Once there, head to the center of the Chinatown square and park somewhere close
by. There will most likely be a police officer around, so make sure to either
have your fists or bat equipped (NOT your Colt 1911). Get out of the car,
follow your compass and go up to Biff. Talk to him.
Biff: Howdy, partners, how's tricks?
Paulie: Hey there, you fat bastard. We need a little piece of information.
Biff: What's goin' on?
Paulie: A gang of jokers have set themselves up in our territory and
they're giving people a bad time. They messed with Luigi's daughter. If it
wasn't for Tom here, who knows what they would've done to her. We need to
know where they meet so we can give them a message from Don Salieri.
Biff: You came to the right place, Paulie. I know what's goin' on. A few
people have already had problems with them, and they told me they meet at
the old service station near the Terranova Bridge. It's a little ways from
here. You can get there through a sort of side doors across the yard. Send
them my regards, Paulie.
Paulie: Thanks, Biff. I owe you one. We gotta go.
Biff: Sure! Take it easy, boys!
During the conversation, Bill will tell you that the gang is located at the
Service Station near the Terranova Bridge. This station is easy to find by
compass or map. It's on the only street in Chinatown that isn't going exactly
straight north-south or east-west (i.e. it's diagonal).
New Objective (C): Drive to the old service station
Make your way over to the service station. Once there, get out of your car and
Paulie will follow suit.
Game saved: 07-06 Better Get Used To It-Service Station
Paulie: I think this is the place.
Paulie: Let's do it! And remember, Tom, no shooting!
Remember, like Paulie said, you aren't allowed to shoot; you can only use melee
weapons. Either kick the door open, or wait for Paulie to do it for you. Walk
forward a bit and a small cutscene will occur.
Paulie: Hey pal, Don Salieri sends his regards.
Thug: Go ahead, I'd really love to hear it!
As the first enemy runs towards you, a new objective will appear.
New Objective (D): Teach those bastards a lesson
Throughout the first part of this mission, you will be fighting in an all out
melee brawl. The techniques you used in "Sarah" will still work quite
effectively here. However, since you now are fighting alongside a capable ally,
you can implement a new strategy. Find someone who's busy fighting Paulie.
Assuming that he's preoccupied with that task, you can easily circle around and
knock him out with a single, fully-charged baseball bat strike from behind.
Though Paulie will lose some life, it's a very fast-working strategy that
should take down the gang with ease. You can try this technique on the first
thug that you meet.
Next, follow Paulie through the alley into another area. Here, there are four
enemies, armed with a knuckle duster, fists, a crowbar, and a baseball bat. Do
your best to avoid taking too much damage when dealing with these guys. Also,
try not to get surrounded, as you'll quickly take a beating. Be even more
careful that the enemies don't gang-up on Paulie, since he has no qualms about
running straight into a group of them.
Like before, the strategy where you circle around an enemy who's distracted by
Paulie will work wonders here. But don't think it only works one way. You can
let Paulie use the same method to help you out. Once you're down to only two
enemies, start walking backwards, keeping them following you. Paulie should be
able to follow behind and take them out easily. Once they're all dead, continue
on. You can collect their weapons if you like, but they won't do you much good
for the rest of this mission.
In the next area, you will meet a (non-hostile) man who will give you some
insight into this gang of thugs.
Man: "Thanks, thank God you showed up. Finally someone's dealing with those
bastards! The cops didn't lift a finger, because one of those punks is supposed
to be the son of someone down at city hall."
The next part of this mission will be a gunfight, even though this was only
meant to be a melee brawl. If you want to have a jump on the enemies, equip
your Colt 1911 now, just don't fire. Climb the stairs, run straight forward,
then jump down the other side.
As soon as you turn the corner, you'll see a man standing in front of you.
Once he takes out his magnum, Paulie will quickly yell a warning.
Thug: Somebody stopped in for a tuning!
Paulie: Tom, those bastards have heaters! Forget the baseball bats, it's life
or death.
From here on out, you're free to fire. Two more thugs - both with Colt
Detective Specials - will climb over the wall a little to the right of the
first man. Deal with all of these punks using your Colt or any other gun you
pick up. Be sure to go slowly, and do your best to avoid being ambushed. Be
careful as you turn the corner past the wooden shack to your left, because a
thug is waiting in the alleyway. Here, use the third-person viewpoint to your
advantage by seeing where your enemy is without exposing yourself to gunfire.
When you're ready, peek out and kill this man. Hopefully, he'll be unable to
hit you from medium-long range.
Retrieve all the weapons from the men you just killed and head towards the
alleyway where that last man was hiding. Again, go slowly, as there is another
enemy farther back in the alley. Go ahead and collect the Colt 1911 from the
first man and the magnum from the second. There are two more thugs at the very
far end of this alleyway. One has a Colt Detective Special, the other has a
Model 10. Make short work of these guys with whatever weapon you choose. Once
they're dead, a cinematic will begin. As soon as it's over, you'll have a new
save and objective.
[Cinematic]
Thug: What are you tryin' to pull here?
Paulie: I'm trying to kick your ass out of this part of town!
(Paulie opens fire on them.)
Thug: These guys are mafia, Johnny! Let's hit the road!
(The two thugs get in the car and drive away.)
Paulie: Oh shit! Quick, get to the car! We gotta get 'em!
[End of cinematic]
Game saved: 07-07 Better Get Used To It-Chase
New Objective (E): Chase the escaping gang members
Quickly jump into your car (if you have the Phaeton, this part will be
significantly easier) and give chase. Though you may think that time is of the
essence, it really isn't. You'll only get a timer if you fall drastically
behind the other car. As soon as you get close to it again, the timer will
disappear. You are free to use one of your pistols to fire at the car, but it
won't do much good, and you really don't want the police chasing you. It's
better to just let Paulie do the shooting (and for some reason, the cops don't
care about his gunfire).
Continue to chase the car, doing your best to get near it, or even alongside
it. The idea here is to make the car crash. If you can run it off the road,
that's great. If not, just keep chasing the punks all around the city. The
driver isn't very good and will eventually crash by himself, without needing
your "assistance." Get out of the car and put a few rounds his head to trigger
a cinematic and end this mission. If you can't manage to pull this off, don't
worry. Just keep following the car and eventually, a different cinematic will
play, though the outcome will be the same.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: Go and nail him!
(Tommy draws his gun and points it at the thug in the driver's seat, but he
is hesitant to shoot. Paulie comes and shoots him.)
Paulie: You can't feel sorry for these animals. He'd shoot you in the back
the first opportunity he gets.
Tommy: (narrating) I thought about what my mother or Sarah would do if they
saw me there...
(Paulie walks towards the other thug, but he is apparently dead.)
Paulie: This one's finished. One less to worry about.
(Paulie sees that Tommy is still staring at the first thug killed by him.)
Paulie: Why are you standing here with that look on your face? Remember
those guys wanted to do your girl yesterday. You better get used to it.
Tommy: I got used to it...

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy and Frank are walking on the street near Salieri's Bar.)
Frank: Your last mission didn't exactly work out, Tom. Your killing
everybody means a lot of problems for us.
Tommy: They tried to rape Sarah! The cops oughtta thank me...
Frank: I know, but the one you let get away will make trouble.
Tommy: What, we didn't let anybody get away! They're all dead!
Frank: One lived, they pulled him out of the car wreck.
Tommy: Shit...
Frank: The one you killed was the son of a city councilor, the mayor's
friend and Morello's accomplice. And the one who lived will go crying to
the councilor. Daddy didn't exactly love his son, but in these cases a
person can remember a lot of good things... By the way, his funeral's
today...
Tommy: Pity I can't make it...
Frank: You're lucky that second one didn't know who you are and couldn't
give you up. But that's not why I sent for you. Tom, I have quite a
delicate job for you today. C'mon, let's get in the car.
(They get in a car parked on the street in front of the bar.)
Frank: An owner of one of the businesses, which the Don has invested a lot
of money in, has suddenly decided to forget his obligations and he has
taken up with Mr. Morello. It seems that Morello is trying to test our
limits. We're not going to play his game.
Tommy: So what's goin' down?
Frank: We're going to blow the place up.
Tommy: What? What kind of joint is it?
Frank: A hotel. Er... that is... it's a brothel, Tom. But no regular
whorehouse, it's a place for classy society types.
Tommy: And I have to knock 'em all off?
Frank: Of course not... We'll just liquidate the owner and blow up his
office. That should be enough of a warning for others.
Tommy: 'We' means 'me', right, Frank? I take out the owner and I blow up
the hotel.
Frank: Exactly, and there's one more thing. One of their girls is passing
information about our activities to Morello. We'll need her eliminated,
too.
Tommy: Frank... I have to kill a woman?
Frank: Worst luck, huh? Here's a photo of her.
(Frank shows Tommy a photo of the girl.)
Tommy: She's cute, and she looks familiar. Are you certain this is her?
Frank: Unfortunately, yes. Her big mouth has lost us a pile of money and
some of our people.
Tommy: Why don't Paulie or Sam do it?
Frank: We know the place in and out. They'll be dead before they can get it
together.
Tommy: Hmm, so what's the plan?
Frank: It's Downtown, the Corleone Hotel. Find the boss and shoot him. You
can do it in public, it'll be a warning. Then, take care of the girl. The
owner's office is on the top floor. Grab any documents and money you find
there, and then set up the explosives. You won't have time for much else.
Tommy: This won't be no picnic.
Frank: I know, but if we don't take care of this now, we're next in line.
Tommy: Maybe you're right.
Frank: The weapon and explosives are here in the car. Tom, good luck.
[End of cinematic]
After your conversation with Frank during the cinematic, you'll be in control
of Tommy. As usual, the game will be saved and you'll have a new objective.
Game saved: 08-01 The Whore-Talk With Frank
New Objective (A): Drive to the Corleone Hotel
Right off the bat, you'll start with a Colt 1911 with a full clip and three
additional magazines (28 rounds in all). Also, if you didn't take the Falconer
back in "Molotov Party," you will now have learned how to steal one. The
Corleone Hotel, which is your destination for this mission, is in southern
Downtown. Take the Giuliano Street Tunnel or the West Marshall Bridge to
Central Island, then take the East Marshall Bridge downtown. Once there, follow
your map/compass to the hotel. Just go north about two blocks after you get off
the bridge. Once there, hit the action button at the front doors to load the
interior. When you're inside, the game will be saved, and you'll have new
objectives.
Game saved: 08-02 The Whore-Hotel Corleone
New Objective (B): Kill the manager
Search the hotel to find and kill the prostitute Frank mentioned
Steal the documents and set the explosives in the Directors office
Note: Although you can attempt the first two objectives in any order, I'd
recommend that you start by killing the manager. If you deal with the whore
first, then end up dying against the manager's bodyguards, you'll have wasted
time with the other objective. Instead, make sure you can survive the firefight
with the gangsters, THEN move on to the whore. That's the order I'm going to
describe, anyway.
Open the doors in front of you and head forward into the main foyer of the
hotel. Go up to the desk and speak with the clerk there.
Tommy: Afternoon. Where would I find the manager, please?
Proprietor: He's in the hotel restaurant having lunch, sir. It's just
through those doors. He's the man in the white suit.
Tommy: Much obliged. By the way, I'm looking for the girl in this photo.
She works here, do you know where I could find her?
(Tommy shows the proprietor the photo of the prostitute.)
Proprietor: And who are you? A shamus, or vice? Naw, I've never seen her
before. If you wanna enjoy yourself, choose from one of the girls down
here.
Tommy: Well, I'm no shamus. I just need to talk with her.
Proprietor: Like I said, never seen her. So be kind enough to get out and
don't make no problems.
Tommy: Watch the mouth, old-timer. I ain't used to it...
Proprietor: Me neither, and my two-headed sawed-off from just under the
counter was saying that your behavior is not acceptable, so I advise a
slow, cool exit.
Tommy: Hmmm... I'll remember you...
After getting these instructions, head through the doorway to your left, then
down the hall and through another area. Finally, you should end up in the
dining room.
Here, in the dining room, the hotel manager is having lunch. He is the man in
the white suit, sitting at the table on the right. If you look across the room,
you will see the manager's bodyguard sitting down at a table near him. Make
your way around the manager and get ready for a major firefight.
Tommy: This is the way everybody ends up when they sell out to Morello.
Manager: What do you mean? What's your business here? Help, there's some
nut here! Deal with him, somebody! Get him out of here! Shoot him!
Draw a weapon and quickly kill the manager (it should only take a few shots).
Manager: Wha... wha... who... who... sent... eghrr ech... sent you? Argh...
why? Arrgghh...
Note: If the manager runs off before you can kill him, don't worry. You'll get
another even easier/better chance to deal with him later. So don't bother
restarting the mission for that reason.
After that, try to kill the manager's bodyguard across the room as quickly as
you can. After a short while, more gangsters/bodyguards will stream through the
doors towards you. Use whatever weapon you please to take them out. Then make
your way back to the hotel's entrance. Be careful when maneuvering past the
sailor in the next room. Though he may seem scared and harmless, sometimes when
you turn your back, he'll pull out a Model 10 and start firing at you. It may
seem heartless, but just kill him. It'll save you the trouble of keeping an eye
on him later.
Make your way back to the foyer, but be wary of the desk clerk. His sawed-off
shotgun can kill you very quickly if you're not careful. Once he's dead, go
around the desk and into the small room behind it. "Use" the key rack to pickup
the key to the director's room. There is also a health cabinet here, which will
heal you 30 points. If you're lower than 70 health, you might as well use it.
After this part is over, it's time to search for "the whore." Head up the
staircase to the second floor. There will be a few enemies here, possibly
one with a sawed-off shotgun. Again, exercise caution when dealing with them.
Once this is complete, head up the stairs to the third floor, still killing
anyone in your way. At the top of the stairs, turn right through the
glass doors. Then continue right down the hallway. Take one more right around
the corner and go to the first door that has a mat outside. Open it, and a
cinematic will commence.
[Cinematic]
Prostitute: Aaa... what... Tom?
(Tommy suddenly has a flashback and remembers that she is the woman who
congratulated him in the bar upon winning the race.)
Tommy: Michelle?
(He takes another look at the photo.)
Michelle: What's going on? What are you gonna do? What do you want from me?
Tommy: I'm sorry, Michelle, but I heard that a bunch of people got knocked
off because of your talk and someone lost a lot of dough. You're dangerous
to us.
Michelle: It, it... it isn't true. It couldn't be true! Tom! Wait! I...
I... didn't know I had... hurt anyone. I wanted to help my brother...
Tommy: (narrating) I knew it, this could only happen to me, a total screw-
up... I can't just kill a young girl... A young naive fool who wanted to
help her own brother... Probably a real bastard... On the other hand, is it
worth gettin' killed over it?
Tommy: Get dressed and get out...
Michelle: Thank you...
Tommy: This place is gonna blow in a little while. I don't wanna see you in
this town again... Nobody can see you here anymore.
Michelle: Thank you so very much...
Tommy: In this town you're dead. Go away and never show your face here
again... Get it?
Michelle: I promise you will never hear about me again.
[End of cinematic]
After the cinematic has ended, you'll have only one objective remaining.
Continue up the small flight of stairs onto the fourth floor. Turn right
through the glass doors and you should see a wooden door on your left marked
"Director." Prepare a good weapon (the sawed-off shotgun would work very well
here), crouch down and open the door. There will be an enemy right in front of
you. Make sure that you shoot first, and he'll probably go down while you take
no damage at all. Also, if you let the manager get away, he'll be cowering here
in this room. Just kill him with whatever weapon you want.
Run up to the desk and press the action button to pick up the documents, then
place the explosives. As you've probably noticed, the fuse isn't that long. Run
out the door and down the hall. A cinematic will occur in which Tommy leaps to
the nearby rooftops just as the bomb goes off, obliterating the top floor of
the hotel. He remarks: "Just regular work..."
After the cinematic, "The Whore" [part 2] will load (different loading screen).
Immediately, the game will be saved, and you can be on your way.
Game saved: 08-03 The Whore-Rooftops
From your starting location, run forward and then turn to the right. You will
see a small pathway between the two buildings on your right. Also, there is a
large black fire escape that goes both up and down the buildings. After the
explosion in the hotel, it's not that surprising that the police are on their
way. From here you will almost certainly pick up the sound of their sirens.
However, you should continue undeterred.
Head up the fire escape. At the bottom of these stairs, five cops will start to
climb up towards your position. Also, there is a single officer armed with a
Thompson, standing on the street. You can either rush down the fire escape and
try to kill all the officers, or head up and try to ambush them. You also can
just try to avoid them altogether, although they will chase after you. Whatever
your choice of actions, head up to the top of the fire escape.
Up here, the path will fork. Going to the left leads to another rooftop, but is
otherwise a dead end. However, this can be a useful place for killing the
police if you choose to do so. When you're ready to progress, head to the right
from the top of the stairs, around the building and through the door. Continue
up the stairs and through the next door, and you will find yourself on a new
set of rooftops.
Go forward here and climb up on the ledge. While still standing on the ledge,
turn left and climb up to the ledge of the higher rooftop (the two ledges make
a T-intersection). From this highest rooftop, turn right and head
forward to the end. Climb on the ledge at the far end and leap to the one that
is about five feet in front of you and ten feet lower.
Once you've reached this area, you will notice that you are being fired upon,
though it's unlikely that you'll immediately be able to identify the source.
Actually, there are a few cops at the far end of the rooftops who are shooting
at you. They're mostly harmless, except for the officer who's wielding a
Springfield rifle. Though slow, it can deal massive damage if he manages to
hit you with it. To move on, head forward, down to the lower roof in front of
you, then left and over the ledge to an even lower rooftop.
From here, head forward and then slowly turn to the right. You should see a
series of platforms that looks somewhat like a small set of stairs. If you edge
out next to this corner, you should be able to see the officer with the
Springfield, thanks to the 3rd person camera. Also, another five officers,
armed mostly with Colt Detective Specials, will be on the ground in this area.
Carefully dispatch them, making sure to take adequate cover to protect
yourself from the sniper.
Once they're taken care of, try to kill the Springfield-toting cop using
whatever weapon you feel most comfortable with. Slowly edge towards his corpse,
carefully watching the wall to your left. At some point, you should notice two
more officers on this rooftop above you. You should be able to kill them by
taking shots at the small bit of their head that is exposed when they stand up.
Using this method, they will be unable to fire at you, but you can still hit
them (in the head, no less). Also, don't worry too much about getting hurt,
because there's a health cabinet coming up very shortly (in the next part,
which technically is considered a new mission).
To move on, head to where the Springfield officer used to be. Head across the
rooftops 20 or 30 feet away from him. On your left, you should see a staircase
much like the fire escape at the beginning of the level, except made out of
wood. Stand on the ledge and jump down to it. If you go all the way up the
stairs, you can reach the top of the building where the men were just shooting
at you. If you have difficulty with my head sniping method mentioned above, it
might be easier to simply go up the stairs and face them in a more traditional
manner. When you're ready to progress, use the stairs to reach the middle
level, move around the building, and a cinematic will occur, leading you to the
next mission.

| Overview | This mission takes place immediately after the events |
| | of "The Whore." They play one after another, so that |
| | they really feel like a single long mission as opposed |
| | to two shorter ones. Here, Tommy tries to escape from |
| | the rooftops by heading into a church. Unfortunately, as |
| | luck would have it, he runs smack into the funeral for |
| | Billy, the punk that Paulie killed in "Better Get Used |
| | to It." Suffice it to say that Tommy isn't exactly on |
| | good terms with the family and friends of the deceased. |

WALKTHROUGH
Game Saved: 08-04 The Priest-Surprise
Interestingly enough, you don't have an objective for most of this mission.
Then again, it's pretty obvious what you need to do: Kill everyone. Anyway,
Once you begin, head down the stairs in front of you. After descending for a
few seconds, you should notice a health cabinet in front of you. This cabinet
will refill you to full (100) health, regardless of how injured you are from
the previous mission. Unless you already have very high health, or are simply
being foolish, USE THE CABINET. Once you're done, proceed down the next flight
of stairs. Once you reach the door at the bottom, a cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
(Looking through the curtain, Tommy sees a priest giving a speech at a funeral
ceremony. Right next to the priest, the councilor's son killed by Tommy and
Paulie lies in a coffin. It is apparently his funeral, which Frank mentioned
before the mission.)
Priest: ... and was taken from us unexpectedly. The Lord awaits his flock
with opened arms and those such as Billy are awaited in the heavenly realm.
(Tommy sees Billy's father and crying mother on a front bench.)
Priest: Billy was a good son, brother and friend. We will all remember him
in that light and pray for his salvation, since he did so much good. And
now Billy's friend, who was with him during the last moments of his short
life on this Earth, would like to say a few words. Come, my son!
(The thug who was with Billy stands up and comes to give his speech.)
Thug: Thank you, father... You know, I wanted to pay my respects to Bill
today and to tell him that I considered him as my own brother, and that his
death was a great loss for me. I was present at his death...
(The priest approaches the curtain and sees Tommy.)
Priest: Huh? Er... What are... that is, how...
(The thug also sees Tommy.)
Thug: THAT'S THE ONE! THAT'S THE BASTARD WHO KILLED BILLY! GET HIM!
(Most of the men on the benches take out their guns and the councilor and
his wife leave.)
Man: Get down, father!
[End of cinematic]
Once the cinematic is over, you'll be plunged into a major firefight.
Immediately back up and hide behind the door, using it as cover. You should
take out the gangster standing closest to you as quickly as possible. Once he's
down, slowly edge out and scan the benches on the left for another gangster.
From a crouched position, you should be able to get a few bullets in his head,
which is certainly enough to kill him.
Continue to inch your way out of the doorway and aim for another gangster
crouching near the benches on the right. Once he's down, take out a powerful,
accurate weapon. If you picked up the Springfield in the previous mission,
it will help significantly here. Edge out a couple more inches from the
doorway and aim all the way to the right, up about 15-20 feet. You should
see the pulpit off to your right. Inside is a gangster, who you should try to
kill as quickly as you can. Once he's down, run to the pulpit, but stay behind
it. Carefully peek out, and look high up in the rafters at the far end of the
church. A gangster with a Thompson will be there, firing at you. Use whatever
accurate weapon you have to dispatch him. Don't be too concerned about the
threat he poses, because at that range, he's not very accurate. After that,
there should only be one more enemy, who's probably hiding at the other end of
the church. Take him out.
After all the enemies are dispatched, four more gangsters, armed with pump-
action shotguns, will rush in through the front door. You can try to close in
on them and beat them to the punch with your own shotgun, or you can keep your
distance and hit them with small-arms fire. This is the preferred strategy,
since at long range, their shotguns will not be nearly as effective. Whichever
method you chose, make sure that all the gangsters are dead. Once this is
complete, another cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy hears someone behind him and turns, pointing his gun in that direction.
It is the priest.)
Priest: Oh, it is only I... my son, don't shoot, I am unarmed...
(Tommy lowers his gun.)
Priest: What have you done, my son? Such suffering for nothing! God is
forgiving, but this is terrible... Don't you know murder is the greatest
sin?
Tommy: I... know, father... but somehow everything got fouled up. I made a
mistake somewhere... So many people have died without reason. They could
have done much more with their lives...
(He pauses for a second.)
Tommy: Father, these people were criminals, cheats, murderers. The one
lying in the front wanted to rape my girl. Maybe God wanted it this way. A
lot of people will have an easier life because of this.
Priest: Yes, the Lord works in mysterious ways... But what about you? You
can look yourself in the face? Your hands are stained with blood that
you'll never wash off.
Tommy: I know that, father...
Priest: Look around you! Such a waste! We'll have to consecrate the church
again! Everything is shot up! I can't let my parishioners in here! What am
I going to do?
Tommy: Maybe this'll help?
(Tommy gives him some money.)
Tommy: Pray for my soul, father. I'll need it.
Priest: I will, my son. I certainly will.
(Tommy walks away and then pauses.)
Tommy: By the way, father... Your little speech about Billy... I'm
wondering about your conscience... Billy wasn't such a good person, and he
didn't do good when he was alive...
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 08-05 The Priest-Escape
New Objective (A): Return to Salieri's
Once you're outside of the church, you will immediately notice that you have a
handcuff sign (arrest warrant) and a wanted bar. Run forwards down the
steps. A Hearse, or rather, a Lassiter V16 Charon, is parked out in front.
Go ahead and get into it, as it's unlocked. Make your way back to the Salieri
bar, but be careful about the police. You might want to get rid of your wanted
bar by hiding or stealing another car. After that, drive back to the Salieri
Bar to end this double mission.

[Cinematic]
1938
(Tommy and Detective Norman are talking in the cafe.)
Norman: You must be joking, right? How could you get through this?
Tommy: Now it was really bad. Billy's pop, the council man, wasn't very
happy with us, and he was in bed with Morello's. Without the mafia's help,
he wouldn't have got his seat. He also started to mobilize the police. So
we now had both the mob and the police against us.
Norman: Ah, come on...
Tommy: Hey, both sides benefited from it. The police could look good in the
fight against crime and at the same time get fat pay-offs from Morello, who
they left alone. And with the help of the police, Morello could eliminate
his greatest competitor. An ideal situation, and things were going bad for
us. Salieri lost a bundle, and I wasn't doing too good after all that
killing. It started to seem, that there was no point to anything, that I
should enjoy everything as much as possible and quickly while I still had
the chance, when it's so easy to lose your life. Maybe that's why Paulie
and me started drinking.
Norman: You weren't fallin' apart maybe?
Tommy: My life was just a trail of murders, crimes and alcohol. If Frank
hadn't helped me out I would have ended up worse. It was weird, but
suddenly he came to me and wanted to help.
(Frank is seen walking out of the bar. Tommy is standing next to a car
outside.)
Frank: Could you give me a ride home, Tommy?
Tommy: Sure, Frank, get in.
(They get in the car and Tommy starts to drive.)
Frank: So, how's life, Tommy?
Tommy: Yeah, going okay, just... just... oh, nothing...
Frank: I heard you and Paulie are living it up, you two are getting pretty
well-known around town.
Tommy: Just something to do with our money.
Frank: If you don't want to end up a wreck, Tom, find some meaning in your
life.
Tommy: What? You want to preach to me about a sense of life?
Frank: I've seen a few good guys who couldn't deal with their problems and
they end up real bad. Usually somebody knocks you off for your money, or
maybe you go nuts and all your buddies and pretty dames disappear. Anyway,
the Don doesn't want drunks with trembling hands working for him. Those
kind of people just bring problems. If you don't watch out, the next thing
you know, your best friend kills you without blinking an eye.
Tommy: What should I do then?
Frank: Come on, be yourself! Maybe invest the dough in some kind of
investment. I could give you a few tips. Give up the partying. Go to the
races with the Don on Sundays. Try taking a dame to the theater, or at
least the movies. There's a lot of things you can do.
Tommy: And who should I take, Frank? A decent girl doesn't want a killer.
Frank: You know, a policeman will 'murder' to uphold the law... you enforce
our laws. It's the same thing, we're just on the other side of the fence.
You're not a murderer, Tom, but still, your wife mustn't interfere with
your business. Remember, never take the job home, it just brings trouble.
Tommy: And where would I find a woman for me, Frank?
Frank: I thought that you had something with Luigi's daughter, Sarah. I
think she's a wonderful girl. But you alone know best how far it'll go with
her.
Tommy: I'm not going to endanger somebody like Sarah, Frank...

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
1933
Tommy: (narrating) One day Frank asked me to stop by at the bar. He said he
had a little job for me, so, of course, I showed up.
(Tommy is seen walking towards Frank in the backyard of the bar. It is
nighttime and it is raining.)
Frank: Tom, we've got two trucks full of the best liquor coming in from
Canada. Sam's gone out to the hand-off point to meet them. They're at an
old farm outside of town and we need to get the shipment to the city. I'm
sending two trucks out, Paulie's going with one of them. I want you to go
with them and keep an eye over everything. Just to make sure it all goes
smoothly. Get a car from Ralphy, and join up with Paulie over at our
warehouse. Paulie'll give you some weapons when you get there.
Tommy: Okay, Frank.
[End of cinematic]
After the short opening cinema and basic overview of your mission, you'll be
in control of Tommy with (big surprise) a new save and objective:
Game Saved: 09-01 A Trip To The Country-Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Meet Paulie at the warehouse
Although you could just take off on your own, it's advisable that you go and
check in on Ralph. He's inside the garage, deeply pondering...something...
possibly about the gutted car in front of him. Snap him out of his trance, and
he'll lead you to the Bolt V8 Roadster parked outside.
Tommy: So what have you got for me today, Ralphy?
Ralph: Hey T... Tom, I have h... here a new machine for you. It has 65
horsepower and if you put your foot down, it'll go over 75 miles per hour.
(Ralph takes him to a Bolt V8 car.)
Ralph: Th... they put a new l... lock on it, but it ain't no p... problem.
Here watch...
(Ralph picks the lock of the car.)
Ralph: S... see, it's real easy! You can t... take this car, or something
older, wha... whatever you want.
Tommy: Thanks, Ralphy.
After the usual routine of showing you how to open it, you'll now be able to
pick the lock of/carjack any Bolt V8 on the street. That means that you now
have the complete Bolt line finished and fully unlocked. Anyway, take the
Roadster, or any other car in the garage, and head out into the city.
Game Saved: 09-02 A Trip To The Country-City
Your objective will still be the same once you leave the bar. You need to head
to the warehouse, which is just north of Hoboken. I'm pretty sure that by this
point, you know the city well enough to be able to find your own way there.
However, you should be aware that from this mission on, the Terranova bridge is
open, and you can use it. Here, you might as well, since it gives you the
fastest and most direct route to the warehouse. But then again, who says you're
in a hurry?
[Cinematic]
Paulie: Hey, Tommy. We're goin' to a farm outside of town to pick up a
couple o' truckloads of good booze. We wanted you with us in case of any
trouble, but it should be real easy. You won't really have to do nothing,
just be there. The boys'll load up the trucks and we'll come back. Sam is
already there waitin' for us, so probably be drinking most of it before we
even get there. I'll do the drivin'. The cops have been paid off, so
there's nothing to worry about.
Tommy: Looks like I could've just stayed home and slept.
Paulie: Hey, if I gotta be up, you gotta be up.
Paulie: Let's go.
(The game will now load the countryside.)
Paulie: This is the life, total ease, countryside, no stress. You know, we
oughta do this more often.
Tommy: Better in the daytime...
Paulie: Haha, I think you'd rather be with Luigi's little girl, Sarah,
right? That's your nightshift, he he...
Tommy: Lay off... What d'you know about it?
Paulie: Same way as everybody else knows! Heck, even Luigi knows that
you're chasing her. I figure he ain't too bothered, you saved her virginity
after all... he he he... But I bet you stole it right back, hm?
Tommy: Shut up, Paulie! I didn't know you were there?
Paulie: Ah, c'mon, Tom! I'm kidding, she's a good girl. You're good for
each other.
Tommy: I ain't so sure. Somehow, I can't imagine coming home and saying:
"Guess what, Sarah? Had a hell of a day at work today, I had to kill ten
people."
Paulie: You can't talk about stuff like that at home. If you don't act like
the way they describe you in the papers and you're good to her, she'll
ignore all that crap. Hey! Hehe, she is loaded!
Tommy: So it seems normal to you to hide who you really are from your own
wife your whole life?
Paulie: Don't worry so much...
(Tommy and Paulie reach the hand-off point on the perimeter of the farm,
but there is no one there)
Paulie: Dammit...
Tommy: What's going on?
Paulie: Sam should be waiting here, but he isn't.
Tommy: It smells fishy.
Paulie: Look, we'll wait here with the trucks, you'll go quietly check out
what's going on.
Tommy: Thanks for the confidence...
Paulie: Here's some toys to take with you.
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 09-03 A Trip To The Country-The Farm
New Objective (B): Find out what happened to Salieri's men and the alcohol
shipment
After the cinematic, you'll arrive fully loaded (with a pump-action shotgun and
Colt 1911) at the farm. Cross the bridge, then follow the path ahead of you,
past all the small shacks on either side. Continue straight, past the large red
barn on your left. The path will split at a T-intersection. From here, you
should be able to see the truck parked nearby. Walk over to it, and get ready
for some action.
[Cinematic]
(When Tommy opens the door to the cabin the driver falls out dead.)
Tommy: Jesus!
Man: Your friend is fallen sick.
(Two armed men appear behind Tommy. Alarmed, he turns to face them.)
Tommy: Who are you? Are you from the police?
Man: Mr. Morello and the sheriff would like to send their regards and
inform you that from this point on, they'll be taking over your duties
here.
(Tommy shoots one of the men with his shotgun. The other man tries to shoot
him but he dodges the bullet.)
[End of cinematic]
While I like to think that good instructions can lead a player through any
situation, in this case, that simply isn't true. No matter how skilled you are,
there is a reasonable chance that the millisecond the cinematic ends, you'll be
hit by a lucky shotgun blast. You can choose to load the save and try again, or
simply keep playing with a large dent in your health. Whatever the case,
immediately fire at the two men in front of you, and then the third around the
corner. Use cover as necessary and don't stop until they're all dead.
New Objective (C): Return back
From here, you need to make your way back to the trucks at the entrance to the
farm. While the area seemed like a ghost town on the way in, you will have to
face a gauntlet of foes on the return journey. Enemies will pop up out of
almost every window and doorway as you fight to rejoin Paulie. Although you
might be tempted to just run towards the trucks, that's a surefire way to get
yourself shot to death. Instead, take it slow, carefully and methodically
killing everyone in your way. Try to hit the shotgun-wielders from long
distance with your Colt 1911, and only use your own shotgun if you can get the
drop on a nearby foe. Once you arrive back at the entrance, Tommy will explain
to Paulie what's going on, suggesting that Sam may be inside the barn.
Tommy: They're all dead.
Paulie: What?
Tommy: The truck crew, out there in the back, they wasted them.
Paulie: What? What about Sam, did you see him?
Tommy: No, I didn't see him. But the barn was locked. He might be in there.
Paulie: We ain't leavin' without him. We have to go back and get him.
Tommy: Okay, we'll go back, but we gotta find a crowbar or something so we
can break open that barn door.
Paulie: Okay. Let's go. You boys stay here for now and watch the trucks.
Waste anyone who gets within a hundred yards. Besides us, of course!
Gangster: Okay, boss.
Now that you're teamed up with Paulie, make your way back down the road. If you
killed everyone on your way to the trucks, everything should be clear. If not,
you may have to mop up a few survivors. But with Paulie's help, that shouldn't
be difficult at all. When you reach the barn, you'll find that it's locked.
Turn 180 degrees around and go in the building in front of you.
Paulie: Come on, there must be something in this barn to force this door
open.
Here, you'll have to face a few enemies in close quarters. However, they aren't
too hard, especially with Paulie's help. Also, there's a health cabinet right
next to the stairs that will heal you 30 points. Make your way up to the second
floor, eliminating anyone who gets in your way. At the top, Paulie will grab a
crowbar that's laying around. Return back down and head over to the red barn.
Paulie: I'll force it open, then we'll run in. We gotta keep each other
covered, okay?
(Paulie forces the door open with the bar.)
Paulie: Let's go!
Game Saved: 09-04 A Trip To The Country-Saving Sam
New Objective (D): Save Sam
As soon as Paulie kicks the door open, be ready for a fight. There are two men
on the ground floor armed with a pump-action shotgun and Colt 1911. From the
doorway, you should also be able to kill a man on the second level. Continue up
the stairs, being careful of the man positioned right behind you. Just ascend
while facing backwards, and you should be able to beat him to the punch. Right
at the top of this staircase is another health cabinet, again worth 30 points.
Keep going up to the third level, where you will find Sam.
Paulie: Jesus, what have they done to you? You still in one piece?
Sam: Eh... Just in the wrong place at the wrong time again, I guess...
Paulie: Can you walk?
Sam: Probably not too good.
Paulie: Okay, hang on, I'll get the truck. We'll get you to the doctor.
You'll make it! Sam! Tom, wait here with him, I'll be back in a second.
(Paulie leaves.)
Tommy: It'll be okay, Sam. We've gotten through worse.
Sam: Sure... We have?
(The sound of a vehicle is heard after a while.)
Tommy: Paulie's coming.
Sam: Tom, I don't think that's no truck...
Tommy: Shit!
After Paulie leaves, focus your attention out the main window here. Like Sam
says, those aren't your trucks. Two police cars will pull up outside.
Immediately begin firing at the officers with your Colt 1911. Don't be
concerned if you don't kill many of them though, because you'll get a much
easier chance very shortly. Once you back away from the window, the remaining
officers will come through the door and up make their way up to your location.
Position yourself right behind the stairs so that when they come up, they'll
have their backs to your loaded shotgun. Fire away until everyone is dead.
Paulie: What the hell's goin' on here? Tom, are you alive? Get out here and
help me!
Head down to the ground floor, and out towards the cars to have another talk
with Paulie.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: Christ, that was a massacre!
Paulie: This is one hell of a night.
Tommy: It looks like they want to get us completely out of the picture.
Paulie: Yeah? Well, that ain't gonna be so easy. Is Sam okay upstairs?
Tommy: Yeah, he's okay. At least he isn't any worse.
Paulie: Okay, I'll get him. You keep watch here.
(Paulie goes into the barn.)
Paulie: Sam! It's me, Paulie! C'mon, we're goin' home.
Sam: UUUGH, we're goin' to the doctor... I ain't feelin' so good... I must
be coming down with something...
Paulie: Hmm, I guess so, your nose is runnin' a little.
(Paulie comes out of the barn carrying Sam.)
Paulie: Sam, I'll put you in the back. Tom will be with you, just in case.
Sam: Okay.
Paulie: Tom, go with him and keep an eye out. There's a Thompson if you
need it.
Tommy: Got it.
(As Paulie puts Sam in the back of the truck, Tommy sees the headlights of
more cars coming towards the farm.)
Tommy: Paulie, it looks like we got more company.
(Paulie gets out of the back of the truck.)
Paulie: There's a Thompson and some ammo back there. Get behind those
crates and watch out. Fire as soon as they get behind us. MAKE SURE THEY
DON'T GET PAST US!
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 09-05 A Trip To The Country-Return Journey
Now it's time for a little change of pace. This segment can be quite
difficult, especially if you don't know what to do. Also, it's significantly
harder if you don't have much health. Anyway, you're in the back of the truck
with a Thompson, while enemy cars are in hot pursuit. You need to take out
these gangsters before they can kill you or overtake your truck. There are two
ways to make the vehicles stop. You can shoot out their engine or you can shoot
out their driver. The engine is a much larger target, but takes quite a few
bullets before rupturing. The driver on the other hand, will die with only a
few well placed shots, but he's difficult to hit, especially given the
Thompson's accuracy, the nighttime visibility, and the fact that you're
shooting from the back of a moving vehicle. Personally, I prefer to shoot the
enemy driver, but feel free to use whatever method works best for you.
About five to ten seconds after you take one of these cars out, another will
appear off in the distance. If you kill the gangsters at a normal pace, you
should have to fend of three or four cars before you finally reach the city
limits. Just remember, shoot the engine or the driver. Keep your health high,
and watch your ammo consumption.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: We're here. Tom, get Sam ready, I'll go wake the doc up.
(Tommy lifts Sam.)
Tommy: Sam, we're at the doctor.
(Paulie knocks on the doctor's door. It opens after a few seconds.)
Doctor: God, is that you, Paulie? What are you doing here so late?
Paulie: Good evening, doc. I'm sorry, but we had an accident.
Doctor: Okay. Where is he? Bring him inside.
Paulie: Okay.
(Tommy brings Sam inside, and then he and Paulie get in the truck and drive
away.)
Paulie: That was our doctor, he doesn't ask questions and Sam is in good
company.
Tommy: Are you sure that he isn't just an untrained butcher?
Paulie: Definitely not! He is the best! The best paid doctor in the city.
If you get hurt, you will be thankful that we have him.
Tommy: Okay, I hope he'll do his best for Sam.
(They reach the warehouse and get out of the truck.)
Tommy: Uff... At least that's all over. We could have all ended up a lot
worse off than Sam did.
Paulie: When I catch that bastard who double-crossed us, I'll tear his head
off.
Tommy: It looks like someone has had enough of us.
Paulie: It sure does. I don't know about you, but I'm goin' to get a shot
of something. When the Don finds out what happened there'll be hell to pay!
This means a real war. And it ain't good.
Tommy: It certainly ain't.
Paulie: All right, so good night, Tom. Have a good night, or at least, try
to have one.
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 09-06 A Trip To The Country-The Warehouse
New Objective (E): Return to the Salieri bar, alternatively, you could visit
Lucas Bertone on the way.
If you just want to end the mission and move on, simply drive back to
Salieri's bar. Skip the next few paragraphs in this guide and start reading
again at the entry for Mission 10. However, if you'd rather get a bonus car
from Lucas Bertone, keep reading.
Head down to Lucas' auto shop by the Giuliano Bridge. Once there, simply
drive up to the door, get out, and go talk to Lucas.
Lucas: Ahh! Tommy, you've come like a gift from heaven! A stoolie just
called me and said that the cops wanna pick one of my friends up! Hey, we
gotta let him know as fast as possible. He lives in a house in Hoboken.
Could you go and warn him?
Tommy: Okay, Lucas.
Game Saved: 09-07 A Trip To The Country-Lucas Bertone
New Objective (F): Warn Lucas' friend
Like Lucas said, his friend lives in Hoboken. So quickly run back to where you
parked your car, get in, and race over there. Although it's not that far, your
time limit isn't exactly generous. Your destination is a small house located
smack in the middle of Hoboken. I'd advise that you head south down the main
street from Lucas' shop, cut east across the center of Downtown, and then drive
along the southern border of Hoboken. Next, turn left on the middle street, and
drive north to the building marked on your map. Once there, get out of your car
and go knock on the door in front of you.
Man: What is it? What do you want this time at night?
Tommy: Lucas Bertone sent me! You gotta disappear, the cops will be here
any minute!
Man: Shit! Thank Lucas for me! And you too, of course! I better go out the
back so no-one sees me. Goodbye.
Tommy: Good luck.
After you warn Lucas' friend, the cops will probably arrive on the scene. Just
get back in your car and return to Lucas'. The cops aren't a problem, despite
the appearance of the two shotgun-wielding officers covering the door. Just
don't attack them, and they'll leave you alone.
New Objective (G): Return to Lucas Bertone's.
Once you get back to Lucas, he'll thank you, and then give you the scoop on the
new Ulver Airstream. As usual, you'll learn how to steal one as soon as he
finishes showing you. He'll also point you to a house in Oakwood where you can
procure one of your own.
Lucas: So what?
Tommy: Fine, went well. He thanked you and then quickly disappeared.
Lucas: Ah, thank God! Hey, I have a reward for you, Tommy.
(Lucas shows an Ulver Airstream car to Tommy.)
Lucas: Hey, this is totally new. It's a little different than those other
cars. It's the first line of cars with an aerodynamic form. Hey, they look
pretty sharp to me, but many people don't like 'em. The main thing is that
it purrs like a kitten. Yeah.
(Lucas picks the car's lock.)
Lucas: And you can snag one easy. You just stick this wire in here, boom,
that's it! One guy who lives in Oakwood has the same model. He parks it in
front of the garage next to his house, eh.
Tommy: Great, thanks.
Game Saved: 09-08 A Trip To The Country-Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (H): Steal the car in Oakwood
Leave Lucas' shop and get in your car. Make your way southeast to Oakwood. It
doesn't really matter how you get there, since there's no time limit. However,
the fastest and most logical route would be to follow the larger main streets
and arterials as much as possible, and to only go on minor side streets when
you have no alternative. The house that you're aiming for is only a block or so
south of the circle/roundabout in the middle of Oakwood. Pull up somewhere near
the house and start picking the lock on your new car. Unlike in the previous
Lucas mission, there isn't anyone here who's deliberately looking out for the
car, so you can steal it unhindered. Once you're done, just head back to
Salieri's in your new ride to finish the mission.
New Objective (I): Return to Salieri's
Just make your way back. There really isn't much more to say about your
return. I'm pretty sure that you can find your way there with little or no
trouble.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy and Salieri are talking in the backroom of the bar.)
Salieri: Yesterday was the worst disaster we've had! We lost eight men, the
whole shipment and Sam can't even stand up. This is a war and we're in a
hell of a fix! He's already got the prosecutor on his side, and he's
digging up a load of dirt on us. He's also pretty close to the councilor
whose boy you knocked off, Tommy, so he's got the cops after us.
Tommy: They ain't got nothing on us.
Salieri: That's where you're wrong. Yesterday Frank handed over all our
account books. The prosecutor is having a field day.
Tommy: Dammit!
Salieri: Frank wouldn't be out for blood, but he doesn't seem to mind too
much if I go to jail for life. Those account books will give the prosecutor
a truckload of evidence for the case against us, but without Frank it'll be
for nothing. We've got to liquidate Frank...
Tommy: You mean hit him? You tryin' to tell me I've gotta knock Frank off?
Salieri: More than twenty years I've known Frank. All I got, I got with
him. But Frank broke the Omerta. I don't know why, but he must have his
reasons. And we've got our own reasons to rub him out and get those books
back. Otherwise, we'll do time. And plenty of it.
Tommy: Whatever you want, boss. If there ain't no other way...
Salieri: There isn't! I figure today's our last chance to do something
before they move Frank out of our reach.
Tommy: What do you want me to do?
(Salieri puts the photos of two men on the table. One of them is Big Biff.)
Salieri: First, find these men and find out where they've got Frank.
They're good stoolies. They have connections with the cops and in the court
house, one of them is sure to know. You already know Big Biff's from
Chinatown, and Little Tony's always loafing on the island near the museum.
Then, track down Frank. Whatever you do, don't kill him till he tells you
where those books are. Capisci?
Tommy: Got it.
Salieri: Frank's going to have protection, you'll have to knock them off
first. Once you know where the books are, kill him.
Tommy: Okay, boss, whatever you want.
Salieri: Good luck, Tommy. Get a gun from Vincenzo and a car off Ralphy.
And remember, if you don't do this right, we're done for.
(Tommy leaves.)
Salieri: (to himself) Goddamit, what have you done, Frank? You were a
brother to me.
[End of cinematic]
Right off the bat, your game will be saved, and you'll have a new objective.
Game Saved: 10-01 Omerta-Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Find Frank and acquire the account books, then kill him.
Head out of the bar and into the back lot of Salieri's. As usual, pay a visit
to Vincenzo and Ralph so you can get some firepower and some wheels. Vincenzo
will give you a Colt 1911 and the deadly Lupara, otherwise known as a sawed-
off shotgun.
Tommy: Hello, Vince. I guess you know why I'm here.
Vincenzo: Right... What can you do? Frank knew what would happen.
Tommy: What do you got for me?
(Vincenzo puts a Colt 1911.)
Vincenzo: A Colt 1911 should be enough, but here's a sawed-off as well.
(He brings a sawed-off shotgun from the cabinet.)
Vincenzo: In Sicily they call it a Lupara. When they find someone shot by
one of these babies, everyone knows the deal. Unfortunately, this is the
perfect situation to use it. It's got a short range, but it covers a lot of
real estate. You can't miss.
Tommy: I'd never thought that I'd meet with Sicilian tradition like this.
Head back outside and find Ralph, who should be underneath a Bolt
Model B, tinkering around. He'll get up, give you a few stuttered words, then
lead you to your new car.
Tommy: What've you got for me today, Ralphy?
Ralph: Hey T... Tommy, I got a new car. Just a bit better than that V8, has
80 horsepower. Pretty good little machine.
(Ralph takes Tommy to a Schubert Extra Six car and shows him how to pick
its lock.)
Ralph: They changed the locks a bit, but they're no problem when you're in
the business.
Tommy: Thanks, Ralphy.
As usual, after Ralph shows you how, you'll be able to open any Schubert Extra
Sixes that you find in the city. This is quite a useful ability, as this car
becomes a rather common sight on the streets in the next few missions. Anyway,
you can choose to take the Schubert Extra Six Fordor or any other car in your
garage. Whatever your choice, hop in and drive out into the city.
Game Saved: 10-02 Omerta-City
You already know your first contact - Big Biff - from the mission "Better Get
Used to It." Just as before, he likes to hang out around the central square in
Chinatown. Go north from the bar and head to Biff's location. Unlike in "Better
Get Used to It," Biff is now on the sidewalk slightly north of the main square.
Go up and ask him about Frank. Unfortunately, it seems that he doesn't know
anything. He does, however, recommend talking to a different contact: Little
Tony.
Tommy: Greetings from Mr. Salieri, Biff. We need to know where the cops've
got Frank.
Biff: Sorry, Tommy. I don't know nothing about it. Pay Little Tony a visit,
he's 'like this' with the cops.
Little Tony can be found outside the city art gallery at the south end of
Central Island. Since you're in Chinatown, taking the Giuliano Street Bridge
would be the fastest route to get over there. Then, simply take the main
arterial south until you reach the bottom of the island. Get out at the museum
and talk to Little Tony. Unfortunately, he also seems to be short of critical
information. Luckily, just like Biff, Tony passes you on to another contact:
Idiot Joe.
Tommy: How are you, Tony? Mr. Salieri needs to know where the cops are
holding consiglieri Frank and Big Biff suggested you might know something.
Tony: Hey there, Tom. Look, I don't know where they've got Frank exactly,
but I do know there's a scumbag that's been blurtin' stuff, something about
Frank and the cops the other day. They call 'im Idiot Joe, 'cos he's a
complete idiot. He hangs out on the lot under the bridge. You'll know him.
He's completely bald.
Tommy: Great, Tony. I owe you one.
Little Tony tells you that Idiot Joe hangs out under the bridge, but isn't
much more specific than that. As a matter of fact, Idiot Joe is within a couple
hundred feet of Lucas Bertone's auto shop on the east side of the river
(downtown). Once you get close to the group of people standing under the
bridge, the game will be saved and you will be reminded of your objective
(though it doesn't change).
Game Saved: 10-03 Omerta-City 2
Remember how Little Tony said that Idiot Joe was "the bald one." Well, go up
to the bald man standing there, and talk to him. At first he denies
everything, saying his name is Pete. If you keep trying to talk to him, he'll
accidentally let slip that he is in fact Joe (as if it wasn't obvious that he
was lying to begin with). However, no matter how much you try to interrogate
him, he refuses to say anything about Frank.
Tommy: Hey there, you Joe by chance?
Joe: Got the wrong guy, I'm Pete.
Tommy: Well, then I'm George.
Joe: Sorry to hear that.
Tommy: Say, ain't you got a twin brother by the name of Joe?
Joe: My brothers ain't none of your business.
Tommy: Well... I gotta talk to somebody named Joe damn quick.
Joe: Don't know that fella.
Tommy: I ain't gettin' through to you, it's pretty damn important.
Joe: What's important is that you gotta scram!
Tommy: Take it easy. I ain't leaving till I find out where Joe is.
Joe: That's tough, George. Mom used to always say: Joe, don't go talking to
strangers or taking their candies!
Tommy: What did I tell you, JOE!
Joe: Go screw yourself.
Tommy: I wanna know where the fuzz's got Salieri's consiglieri Frank and
you're my man.
Joe: What nut told you that, I dunno shit. Jeez.
Tommy: Don't try and rile me, Joe. Just remember real quick.
Joe: Christ, I told ya I dunno anything about it, buck. Just scram.
Tommy: You wanna play hardball, huh? Spill it!
Joe: Buzz off!
Tommy: COME ON, Joe!
Joe: Go to hell.
Tommy: Where's Frank, Joe?
Joe: You deaf or what?
Well, Idiot Joe sure is an idiot to be so rude to an up-and-coming Mafioso such
as yourself. Use your fists to start smacking Joe around. After a few blows to
the head, Joe decides that it's better to cower in fear and tell you
everything. It turns out that Frank is being held near the tennis courts in
Oakwood and is being moved to Europe if he complies with the prosecutor's
demands.
Joe: Okay, okay already, you win, man. You win! For Christ's sake, stop
hitting me, I'll spill the beans.
Tommy: I'm all ears...
Joe: Frank and those bastards agreed that if he gave the account books
they'd pack him off to Europe. You'd better move it, he's probably leaving
today. They've been holding him in some joint opposite the tennis courts in
Oak Alley. That's all I can tell ya. Now leave me alone, you rat!
Tommy: You've been a big help, Joe. Next time get to the point a bit
earlier.
Get back in your car and make your way east to Oakwood. Head to the southeast
corner of the neighborhood and follow your map/compass to Frank's house.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: It looks like I'm at the right place.
(At that moment, Frank walks out of the house, accompanied by a few police
agents. They get in the car and drive away.)
Tommy: Jesus, that was close! They must be worried about Frank if they're
driving him around in an armor-plated car. I'll follow them and see where
they are headed.
[End of cinematic]
After the cinematic, you'll get a new objective.
New Objective (B): Follow the car carrying Frank.
You better step on it, because that car isn't going to wait for you. Try to
maintain visual contact with the Lassiter, watch where it goes, and follow it.
It's really not that difficult, even though the traffic can often get in your
way. When the car goes through a construction zone, watch out. A large truck
will pull in front of you, blocking your path. Either go around or smash
through, and continue your pursuit. Eventually, the car will drive north into
the country from the road at the northeast corner of New Ark. Keep on it as you
drive through the countryside, and the car will eventually turn left into the
airport. Follow it there, and get ready for some action.
Game Saved: 10-04 Omerta-The Airport
New Objective (C): Get rid of the guards, acquire the account books from
Frank, and then liquidate him.
Right after the small cutscene ends, immediately move to the right, or you
risk being run over by the car that brought Frank here. Slowly edge up
towards the building in front of you. Inside are four gangsters armed with Colt
1911s, S&W Model 10 M&Ps, and even one with a Thompson. If you lean out into
the doorway, you should be able to get a few shots off at the gangster to your
right who's hiding behind a wall. If you go a little farther in, you should
also be able to hit the enemy behind the counter. Take your time, and feel free
to run back outside if you're taking too much fire.
After these two are dead, edge out slightly farther into the doorway and try
to kill the last two gangsters. Be especially careful of the one wielding the
Thompson. Use the pillars as cover and try to fire when he's reloading or caugh
off-guard. Alternatively, use the other door (the one just a few feet away) to
enter the terminal at a different angle, possibly giving you a better shot at
the remaining gangsters.
Once they are all dead, Frank will run outside with his escorts. Collect all
the ammunition and weapons from the dead gangsters and get ready for some more
action. Also, even though there's a health cabinet in here, I wouldn't
recommend using it just yet (unless you're severely injured).
As you exit through the rear doors of the terminal, continue out onto the
airstrip. If you didn't kill everyone in the previous area, you will be
attacked by three more Thompson-wielding gangsters. You can try to get in close
and use the sawed-off shotgun, or retreat into the terminal to take cover. In
reality, you aren't supposed to fight them here. If you had killed all four
gangsters in the terminal (who are all dressed in black, whereas these escorts
are dressed in a light brown/khaki color), they would have left with Frank.
Anyway, head out onto the airstrip. Look in front of you, and you should see a
green flatbed truck heading your way. Follow the truck until it stops, and
you'll see a man gets out. Even though he's only armed with a crowbar, this guy
is MAD. Contrary to what I said in an earlier version of this guide, having no
weapons equipped does not necessarily make him ignore you (though this
sometimes happens anyway). Just take the guy out and steal his truck.
Drive through the hangar on the left (the one without a plane in it), and
you'll notice plenty of gangsters. While you could easily have a massive
shootout here, using the crates as cover and expending hundreds of rounds of
ammunition, I find it much easier to use the truck. Short of the windshield,
almost no bullets can enter through the vehicle to hit you. Furthermore, it's
high off the ground, making you an even smaller target, and it weighs easily 30
times as much as one of the gangsters. Essentially, I'm recommending that you
run them over. Simply accelerate towards them, wait until they try to dive out
of the way, and use the handbrake to quickly spin your front or rear sideways,
crushing them. If you've played a Grand Theft Auto or Halo game, you should be
familiar with the concept.
If you can, I'd actually recommend running them over backwards, because then
there's an even smaller chance of you getting shot (since the back of the truck
is all they'll be able to hit). Now I've read in other guides that you should
try to perform drive-by shootings instead of just running people over, but this
method has never been as effective for me. That said, if you're still having
trouble, feel free to try it out. Just be careful that you don't stay idle for
too long, as one of the gangsters will usually take such an opportunity to pull
you out of your truck.
Of course, everything's not going to be perfect. You'll probably have a
gangster who hides in a place too narrow for your truck to reach. In this
situation, just get out and shoot him. Anyway, when you've killed them all,
keep driving through and continue through the back of the hangar. Be prepared
to face some more gangsters in the next area. Again, you can run them over,
shoot them, or use a combination of these two strategies. Whatever you do, kill
them all, then head over to the parking lot. Gun down the last few stragglers
here, then walk over to the pole, where you'll find Frank.
[Cinematic]
Frank: Tom...
Tommy: Frank, the Don sent me, and you know why.
Frank: I know why... I know...
Tommy: I don't get what happened to you, I thought you were my friend. I'd
never guessed that something like this would happen... Why the hell did you
do it?
Frank: Tom, I couldn't go on this way. Too many people have died lately and
I don't have the stomach for it. It used to be different with the Don in
the old days. Maybe I'm just getting too old. Tom, this is a war and I
don't want to fight anymore. I got a child and I thought I'd finally get
some peace.
Tommy: You couldn't have done this some other way? You didn't have to sell
us out!
Frank: They came for me and I had to surrender. They have my wife and
daughter, Tom. And if I don't give them the books, they'll kill them.
Before we used to solve things like men. You, Paulie or Sam would get them
back, but I can't take that risk this time. I don't want to lose them, Tom,
I can't live without them. They told me if I did what they wanted they'd
release them and send us to Europe, where we'd start again.
Tommy: COPS! The cops are blackmailing you and want to kill your family?
Frank: Ever since you and Paulie killed that Billy kid, the cops and
Morello have been working hand in hand. That councilor, the kid's father,
got where he is thanks to Morello. Morello wanted to get me to talk and the
police would then liquidate the Don. Both sides would then get what they
wanted.
Tommy: I'm afraid the situation has changed somewhat. Where are the books,
Frank?
Frank: I haven't got them, Tom.
Tommy: You handed them over already?
Frank: No, no, Tom. I'll tell you where they are, if you get my wife and
daughter back. We were supposed to wait here at the airport, so they must
be holding them somewhere around here. Kill me after if you want, just make
sure they get out of this city alive.
Tommy: Fine, but you'll have to give me those books first, Frank.
(Tommy straps Frank to a lamp-pole with handcuffs he has taken from a dead
agent.)
Tommy: Sorry, but they're in case you're lying.
[End of cinematic]
After the cinematic, you'll have a new objective and save game, just like
always.
Game Saved: 10-05 Omerta-Frank
New Objective (D): Find Frank's family.
Head forward from your current position, then go around the corner to the left.
There will be some gangsters here, so be careful. Don't worry if you're low on
health, because you'll have plenty of healing opportunities soon. Anyway, go
right, up the stairs, and into the small building. You should see a couple
hugging in front of you. Turn left and you should see a woman, a girl, and a
man making a phone call. If you listen to the man, you'll realize that he's
calling the police. Now remember what Frank said about the police and Morello?
Essentially, if you let that man finish his call, you'll have a full squad car
of shotgun-toting cops waiting for you back at the terminal. So what do you do?
Kill the man before he can finish calling for help. After that, talk to the
woman standing nearby, who turn out to be Frank's wife.
Tommy: Are you Frank's wife?
March: Oh, you've come to save us. I am indebted to you... Where is Frank?
Tommy: He's here. Wait here, I'll be right back.
Before you leave, take a look on the wall and you'll see a health cabinet. Even
if you have more than 50 health, I'd advise using it, since you won't be in
this area much longer. After speaking with March (Frank's wife), return to
Frank, free him from his handcuffs, then lead him back to his family.
[Cinematic]
March: FRANK! Oh, good grief, I was so afraid! Thank God you're alright!
Frank: Thanks, Tom. They promised they'd give me plane tickets when I gave
them the books. Those tickets must be here somewhere. Could you try to find
them?
Tommy: Okay, I'll do that, Frank. Wait here for me. I hope you ain't
planning no funny business.
[End of cinematic]
After their reunion, head back outside with your new objective.
New Objective (E): Find and bring the plane tickets for Frank's wife and
daughter.
Though the game doesn't tell you, the tickets are on the counter in the
airport terminal (where you had the first shootout). You can walk back if you
like, but it's much faster to steal a car from the parking lot and drive there
instead. If you opt for the former, watch out for a sniper with a Springfield
on top of the red and white radio tower. Make your way back to the terminal
however you choose.
If you didn't kill the man on the phone, you'll have a rather unpleasant
reunion with some very angry, shotgun-wielding cops. If you take a while to get
to the terminal, the officers will be set up outside (on the tarmac). In this
case, it is possible to sneak in the back entrance, take the tickets, and
leave. On the other hand, if you beat the cops to the terminal, you may be able
to run in the main (tarmac-side) entrance, grab the tickets and run out of
there before the cops start shooting. But honestly, why bother? Just follow my
advice from before - kill the caller in the previous segment - and you'll have
nothing to worry about. Head into the terminal and collect the tickets, which
are on the counter, then return to Frank. He and his family are standing
outside the building, waiting for you. Talk to Frank to begin a cinematic.
After it's over, you'll have a new objective.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: Here you go, Frank.
(He gives the tickets to Frank.)
Frank: Thanks, Tom. Let me say goodbye to March and Alice and then we'll
sort out this business.
March: Frank! You aren't flying with us? What, what...
Frank: I can't, March. Tommy and I have a very serious situation here that
we must sort out. Right, Tom?
Tommy: Frank, just tell me where the books are and go with them.
Frank: What? How would you explain it to the Don?
Tommy: Forget about it, that's my problem. Where are the books?
Frank: I'll never forget this... Here is the key to a safe box in the First
National Bank downtown. The books are there. Take it, Tom.
(Frank gives Tommy a key.)
Tommy: Thanks.
Frank: And Tom... Thanks for everything you've done for us, I'm indebted to
you. And tell the Don I'm sorry for the way things had to end.
Tommy: To the Don, you're dead, Frank. If he finds out you're not, then
this isn't finished. Now just go.
March: Tommy, I'll never forget how you helped us, God bless you.
Alice: Goodbye, mister!
Frank: And don't forget what I told you in the car that time.
(Frank leaves with his family.)
Tommy: (narrating) In the end your best friend kills you. Frank told me
that in the car. And now it was me who was meant to kill a friend. Only I
didn't do it. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want them to do to you,
or however they say it. And I didn't want Paulie to knock me off anytime
soon. I may have given him a reason to do just that today. I brought it on
myself. I just hope he likes me as much as I like Frank.
[End of cinematic]
New Objective (F): Collect the account books from the bank in Downtown.
As Frank specifies in the cinematic, the building in question is the First
National Bank of Lost Heaven. Make your way back to the terminal. Use the
health cabinet if you haven't done so already, since you won't be returning
here for quite a while (not in this mission, at least). Somewhere along the
way, procure a car. It's really up to you; it shouldn't matter what you choose.
After that, head back out into the countryside, where your game will be saved.
Game Saved: 10-06 Omerta-An Act Of Grace
From here, just head back into Lost Heaven and into the Downtown neighborhood.
Follow your map/compass to the First National Bank and "use" the front doors of
The building to trigger a cutscene in which Tommy locates the books.
Tommy: (narrating) Frank didn't lie, the briefcase with the account books
was in the safe box. It was no problem getting it.
Your mission is now over, if you so choose, but Lucas Bertone is still
available for a side-mission.
New Objective (G): Return to the Salieri Bar, alternatively you could visit
Lucas Bertone.
Like always, I'm assuming that you are doing the Lucas Bertone mission. If
not, simply drive back to the Salieri Bar and pick up with this walkthrough on
the next mission ("Visiting Rich People"). Head over to Bertone's auto shop
near the Giuliano Bridge, and go have a word with Lucas.
Lucas: Hello there, Tommy! How's it going?
Tommy: Fine and you?
Lucas: I'm great, but some bouncer from Hoboken beat up my buddy. He hangs
around the Black Cat Bar. You know, I want someone to go and teach him a
lesson.
Tommy: That won't be a problem.
Lucas: You'd do that, Tommy? Oh, that's great. Hey, but don't shoot him. I
don't want you to kill him, just hit him until he begs for mercy. If you do
this, then I'll get you a real exhibition piece.
Tommy: Sure, what's the scum look like?
Lucas: He's a real big gorilla. Some character at the Black Cat Bar, you
can't miss him. His name's Big Stan. You just tell him it's a lesson from
Carlo.
Tommy: Okay, I'll go to it.
After explaining what he wants from you, Lucas suggests that you look for Stan
at the Black Cat Bar.
Game Saved: 10-07 Omerta-Lucas Bertone
New Objective (H): Find Stan and teach him a lesson
While you aren't allowed to kill Stan, don't think that this means you're
limited to your fists. As a matter of fact, if you can procure a baseball bat
(perhaps from a random carjackee), you'll have a much easier time with this
mission. Anyway, head west to Central Island, and then west again to Little
Italy/Works Quarter (depending on which bridge you take). The Black Cat Bar is
on the very southwestern edge of Little Italy. Drive there, and you should
notice a raised sidewalk, about ten feet above the ground. Park near the
staircase and get out. Walk up the stairs and along the sidewalk until you see
a sign for the Black Cat Bar and a man standing nearby.
Tommy: Big Stan?
Stan: Who wants to know?
Tommy: I've got a message from Carlo.
Stan: You wanna get it like him, or what?
Tommy: No, not me. It looks like today you're in luck!
After talking to Stan, you'll have to fight him, and he isn't some weak
pedestrian; it will take a fair number of punches before Stan finally topples.
As already mentioned, if you can get your hands on a baseball bat, this fight
will be much easier. Otherwise, just make sure you have quite a bit of health
beforehand (remember to use the health cabinet in the airport terminal before
leaving) and do your best to outpunch Stan. If you remember the techniques from
"Sarah" and "Better Get Used to It," you should be fine.
Stan: Shit, you bastard! I'll get you.
Once Stan flees, you'll have a new (though obvious) objective.
New Objective (I): Return to Lucas.
Make your way back to Lucas'. I'm pretty sure you don't need directions there.
When you arrive, Lucas will show you how to unlock a stylish new car: the
Thor 810. Once he's done with that, he'll also tell you where you can steal
one. Of course, your game will also be saved.
Lucas: So he learned his lesson?
Tommy: If he doesn't get new teeth, he'll have to eat baby food.
Lucas: Heh heh! Carlo will be real happy!
Tommy: So, where's the car?
(Lucas shows a Thor 810 car to Tommy.)
Lucas: A guy in the Millionaire's Quarter up in Oak Hill has got it. It's a
minor technical revolution. Great motor, drives real good. It's front-wheel
drive, you see.
Tommy: Yeah, movie stars drive those cars.
Lucas: That's right. Look at the lock, it's a piece of cake. But when you
go for it, be careful. The guy has some bodyguards.
Tommy: Thanks, Lucas.
Game Saved: 10-08 Omerta-Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (J): Steal the Thor 810 parked in Oak Hill.
It's time for a leisurely drive into what is aptly named the "Millionaire's
Quarter." From Bertone's Auto Shop, head east. There are only two roads
that lead into Oak Hill: One in southern Hoboken and one in northern
Oakwood. Take your pick as to which one you'd rather take. Either way, it's
going to take you a while to get to your destination. When you finally arrive,
follow your map/compass to the house in question, which is on the east edge of
Oak Hill.
You may not immediately recognize the car in front of you as the same vehicle
in Lucas' shop, if only because this one is bright orange. However, they are in
fact the same model. Now don't forget what Lucas said about there being guards
around. As you drive by, you should notice something unusual. While all the
other pedestrians are walking around with a clear destination, you should see
one man simply pacing in circles around the car. Suspicious, no? If there
aren't any cops around, I recommend getting up to 35+ mph and running him over.
You should be pretty good at this by now if you followed my truck strategy at
the airport. If not, or if you can't kill him, he'll alert the police. All that
really means is some more people for you to deal with. When everyone who's
trying to get you is dead, you're free to go after the Thor. Just remember,
with these sporty cars, it can take quite a while to pick the lock. That's
really only relevant if you're trying to quickly steal the car and race away,
though.
New Objective (K): Return to the Salieri Bar.
You know the drill; just don't destroy yourself or that new car by careening
down from Oak Hill. Take your time, unless you want to start again from Lucas'
shop. Also, don't underestimate that Thor you're driving. Compared to most of
the cars you've driven up to this point, it's quite fast and nimble, especially
if you don't use the speed limiter.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(The camera shows Frank's gravestone, which says "FRANK COLLETTI 1877-
1933", in a cemetery.)
Tommy: (narrating) Luckily, everyone bought that Frank was dead and that I
had disposed of his body. So Frank's funeral took place without Frank. The
mafia has a habit of organizing grand funerals for important people, where
they forget the unfinished business they have with each other, or with the
dead. The deceased are only shown in a good light, it's the principle of
every gangster. At least at a funeral. So it happened that not only Salieri
and our people made long speeches about their best friend Frank, but even
Morello and other gangsters.
Tommy: (narr.) Morello and Salieri cried on each other's shoulders. It
didn't seem like they had been at each other's throats only the day before.
Frank would have been 'spinning in his grave', had he actually been dead. I
guess everything turned out pretty well, only I had to think up something
about Frank's family. Salieri, of course, wanted to help out his best
friend's poor widow till the end of her days. I couldn't let him know that
they were really resting comfortably in Europe at that moment.
(The scene switches to Salieri and Tommy talking at the backroom of the
bar.)
Salieri: Tommy, it seems our problems aren't over. The prosecutor who
nearly got Frank against us is digging up more dirt, and I've heard he even
has witnesses. It looks like that councilor whose son you shot is sorely
craving revenge. The prosecutor is a good friend of his, and if we don't
nip it in the bud, they'll make big problems for us.
Tommy: That doesn't sound too good.
Salieri: What's even worse is that guy doesn't trust anyone. He has all the
evidence against us in a safe at his villa. Sam and Paulie are taking care
of the witnesses right now as we speak and you've got to get that evidence,
Tom.
Tommy: How will we get to it?
Salieri: Well, today we have an excellent opportunity. Mr. Prosecutor has
decided to go to the theater, and nobody else will be home... That is,
nobody apart from the home security, of course, but his study will be
empty. His villa is in the Millionaire's Quarter, Mr. Prosecutor isn't
exactly a poor boy.
(Luigi brings a drink for Salieri.)
Salieri: Thanks, Luigi.
Salieri: Your only concern is how to get in, but there will be guards
around the villa. Once inside you should be fine, the villa will be empty.
The prosecutor's office is on the first floor and there should be a safe in
the wall. For that you will have Salvatore with you, that's a guy who
manages to open every safe in America. Once you've got all of the evidence,
leave before the prosecutor arrives back home.
Tommy: Okay, boss. Where can I find this Salvatore?
Salieri: He'll be waiting for you down in Hoboken on the corner next to the
stadium. So you can pick him up on the way there. I don't have to tell you
how important this job is to us, Tommy. Buona fortuna!
Tommy: I'll do my best, boss.
(Tommy stands up in order to leave.)
Salieri: And Tommy, if you happen to bump into the prosecutor, don't kill
him no matter what. It'll just bring us more problems.
Tommy: You can depend on it, boss.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic, your game will be saved and you'll have your
starting objective.
Game Saved: 11-01 Visiting Rich People-Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Pick up Salvatore on the corner next to the stadium in
Hoboken.
Make your way around the bar and into the back lot. As usual, go and talk to
Vincenzo, who will give you a Colt 1911 and a baseball bat.
Tommy: Good evening, Vincenzo. Tonight I'm doin' a little burglary, so I
need something for a quiet little job.
Vincenzo: Tommy, a good ol' bat would do the trick. When you hit someone
over the head from behind, they should be out cold for a while.
(He puts a baseball bat on the table.)
Vincenzo: To be on the safe side, take this here Colt 1911 too.
(He puts a Colt 1911 pistol on the table.)
Vincenzo: I'll keep my fingers crossed, Tommy.
Tommy: Thanks, Vincenzo.
Ralph, however, has no new car for you this time. If you talk to him, all
you'll get is the menu from which you can get rid of cars in the garage. So
instead, just get in your favorite car, and take it out into the city.
Game Saved: 11-02 Visiting Rich People-City
By this point, I'm pretty sure that you can get from Salieri's Bar to Hoboken
without needing directions. If for some reason you're having trouble, use your
map and compass. When you get there, go to the stadium in the northwest part of
the neighborhood. You should see Salvatore standing around by the telephone
booth. Pull up and come to a complete stop, and Salvatore will get in your car.
Salvatore: Evenin', chief. Let's get movin'.
Tommy: Great, so where are we going?
You'll now get your new objective.
New Objective (B): Retrieve the evidence that would implicate Salieri from the
Prosecutor's villa.
Make your way to the prosecutor's villa in Oak Hill. Unless you don't think
your car can make it up the steep hill, I'd recommend using the path in
eastern Hoboken.
Tommy: So, you can open any safe in the country, right?
Salvatore: Almost every one, chief.
Tommy: And how did you learn that trick?
Salvatore: My grandpa was in the business. It's inherited. The safes keep
getting better, so a fella has to keep up with the times. Some of the safes
around these days are pretty tricky.
Once in Oak Hill, follow your map/compass to the back entrance of the
prosecutor's villa.
Tommy: Okay, we're here.
Stop, get out of the car, then talk to Salvatore.
Tommy: Can you open it, Salvatore?
Salvatore: I'll try, chief.
(He opens the door.)
Salvatore: There you go, chief.
Game Saved: 11-03 Visiting Rich People-The Villa
New Objective (C): Retrieve the evidence that would implicate Salieri from the
Prosecutor's villa.
You can give WAIT and FOLLOW ME orders to Salvatore by talking to him.
Just like your objective says, you can keep Salvatore close behind you or
make him stay where he is. Each time you talk to him, it toggles between the
two options. Now getting through the courtyard and villa is a very non-linear
process, and there are many ways to do it. In fact, it is possible to play this
like a normal mission and just kill everyone. That said, it's much easier if
you are stealthy, so that's the walkthrough I'm going to provide. Furthermore,
my walkthrough describes the route that allows you to see as much of the
environment as possible without compromising your stealth. If you'd simply like
to get through as quickly as possible, take a look at this mission in the
"Easter Eggs" section.
First off, here are some tips for effectively sneaking around the villa. In
general, you shouldn't run during this mission. Always walk or sneak (crouch).
Also, when moving through the rooms in the house, resist the urge to turn on
lights. If you do, it's likely that a guard will come to investigate. This is
NOT the kind of stealth level where you want to lure enemies to you so that you
can use a sneak attack; ideally, you want to avoid as many of your foes as
possible.
Start off by walking forward a few feet until you reach the lamp. Crouch down
and tell Salvatore to wait there. Next, go forward and stop at the
"intersection." Wait until the gangster to the left begins to move before
turning and following him. Run after him, but as you get closer, slow to a
walk. Charge up your baseball bat all the way, and when you can, move in and
release. Assuming he didn't turn around, you'll have knocked him out cold with
a single blow. Take the pump-action shotgun (though hopefully, you won't need
it). Now go to the light post that is directly opposite from where you left
Salvatore (you probably already passed it when you were stalking the gangster).
Next to it, you should see a fuse box. Press action once to open it, and again
to cut power to the courtyard.
Run back to where Salvatore is, being careful that you don't alert the two
gangsters standing near the fountain. Look towards the villa and you should see
the outline of a man running down from inside. He's coming to investigate the
sudden loss of power. After cutting through the courtyard, he'll follow the
same path that the first gangster did. Just like before, walk up behind him,
and as he pauses to check the fuse box, knock him out. Make sure you do this
quickly, though. If he turns the lights back on, he'll quickly turn around and
probably blow you away.
Return to Salvatore, and have him follow you. Turn right at the intersection
and head forward down the path. You should see a gazebo/patio slightly off to
the right as you approach the next intersection. Have Salvatore wait behind the
hedge and slowly walk up towards the patio. Sneak up and knock out the gangster
here. Make sure your path is wide, so that you don't end up in his field of
vision. He's not that big a deal, but one less gangster is always a good thing.
Now go back and have Salvatore follow you again.
Head straight towards the villa, passing a fountain (that's turned off) on your
way. You will also see the driveway to the front entrance. However, don't go
that way, or you'll probably be discovered. Instead, turn left towards the back
entrance of the villa and the large, empty pool. Walk up the steps and you
should be able to see a dining room through the glass. You have to be careful
here, because there is a maid who will call for the guards if she sees you.
Wait until the dining room lights go out (meaning the maid has left the room)
before you enter. Quickly figure out where she is, then take her out from
behind before she notices you. If you don't see her, she also may be in one of
the smaller rooms nearby, so be patient and hunt her down.
Once she's gone, go through the door at the left side of the dining room (left
if you were looking in from outside). Turn right in this hallway, and go
through the door at the corner. Continue by going up the stairs here. At the
top, turn right, then immediately left, and go through the door. Crouch and
slowly edge along the second floor balcony, since there is sometimes a guard
around. Head straight ahead through the door directly across from you, then
turn left. Go to the door at the end of this hallway, which leads to the
prosecutor's office. Once you get there, make sure Salvatore's right next to
you, and press action on the safe. There will be a cinematic and save point.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: So, show me what you can do, Salvatore.
Salvatore: Okay, chief!
(Salvatore begins to work on the safe, while Tommy looks out the window.
Suddenly, he sees the prosecutor arrive in his luxury car.)
Tommy: Christ! It looks like we better get out fast, Salvatore.
Salvatore: Got it, chief! Piece of cake.
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 11-05 Visiting Rich People-The Safe
The first thing here, which many people forget to do, is to actually get the
documents you came for. Go to the safe and press action to pick up those
incriminating notebooks.
New Objective (D): Take Salvatore back home on the corner next to the stadium
in Hoboken.
Now that the prosecutor is home, things are going to get a little more heated.
While you can complete this mission guns blazing, the stealthy route is still
the safest. First off, immediately run out of the office. Make sure you've
collected the documents and that Salvatore's following you, though. Head down
the hallway in front of you and stop just past the open door on your right (if
it's not open, open it). Stay here and use the third-person camera to watch the
prosecutor as he comes inside and walks upstairs. As soon as he goes into the
bedroom, run out into the hallway and head down the main staircase. If you
timed this correctly, you should burst through the front doors just as the
guard is turning his back. Quickly run up and lay him out with the baseball
bat. Then run to the Silver Fletcher parked nearby. If you press action, Tommy
will order Salvatore to pick the lock.
Tommy: Salvatore! Open the car.
Salvatore: I'll try, chief.
Salvatore: There you go, chief.
Just like if he were Ralph or Lucas, Salvatore has now taught you how to open a
Silver Fletcher, one of the nicest cars in the game. Quickly get in and drive
away. If you took the violent route, be careful that you don't accidentally run
over the prosecutor (who's probably cowering in the driveway).
Game Saved: 11-05 Visiting Rich People-Escape
Salvatore: Drop me off at home. I live across the street at the stadium a
little ways from where you picked me up.
From here, just return to Hoboken and drop off Salvatore at his house near the
stadium. Be careful with that Silver Fletcher, though, as you can get going
dangerously fast in it, especially coming down from Oak Hill.
Salvatore: Here's where I live, thanks a lot.
Salvatore: I hope it'll be a little cooler next time, today I almost
crapped my pants.
Tommy: I hope so too, get some shut-eye.
New Objective (E): Return to the Salieri Bar.
You know the drill, make your way back to the bar in one piece, and you'll be
done. If you're a speed demon and want to test out your new car, try racing
from the armory, past the hospital, over the Terranova Bridge, and into
Chinatown. From there, you can turn south and return to the bar.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy, Salieri, Paulie and Sam are talking in the backroom of the bar.)
Salieri: Well done, boys! The last job went fine. There's no evidence or
witnesses left against us. Thanks to your persuasive methods they won't
even squeak.
Paulie: Thanks, boss, we try to make you happy.
Salieri: HA HA HA! Well, you certainly did. But today we're here for
something else. Paulie has a pretty interesting proposal.
Paulie: Well, I met a guy from Kentucky, William Gates. Everyone knows that
Kentucky makes the best home-brewed whiskey. Well, anyway... This guy
almost threw up when he tried the whisky which Morello sells here. When he
gave me a drink of this stuff they brew back there... forget about it. I
won't drink anything else! So I asked him about it, right. He said it was
no problem, and that he could deliver me as much as I wanted. I got jazzed
thinking about the dough we'd make on it... Well, I ordered a truckload of
it. I said to myself, if it catches on here, we can make a bigger deal
later.
Salieri: It would certainly be a good replacement for the loss of our
Canadian. I like it, nice one.
Tommy: Me too!
Paulie: So we're gonna pick up some beautiful booze.
Sam: I'm already looking forward to it!
Tommy: Where are they hiding it?
Paulie: They'll meet us in the big parking garage.
Salieri: We have to be more careful than we were before. You'll get to the
place by car with two other boys. They'll be your escort on the way back.
You three pick up the truck and take it to our warehouse in Hoboken. The
boys are already out in the yard waiting in the car. And bring me back a
bottle so I can finally drink something decent.
Sam: Count on it, boss!
(Tommy, Paulie and Sam go to the yard of the bar, where the car is waiting
for them with the two other gangsters.)
Sam: Get in, we're going for some medicine!
Paulie: Here, Tom, this might come in useful.
(Paulie gives Tommy a Thompson.)
Tommy: Thanks.
Paulie: Wait for us here, boys. We'll be back in a little while. When we
drive out, follow after us. Then we'll have a shot at the warehouse.
Gangster: Sure, boss.
[End of cinematic]
As usual, you'll start out with a cinematic of Salieri explaining what you're
going to do on this mission. The game will be saved from this cinematic, and
when you get to the parking lot. So actually, your game will be saved twice
before you are even in control of Tommy.
Game Saved: 12-01 A Great Deal!-Salieri Bar
Game Saved: 12-02 A Great Deal!-The Parking Lot
Once you arrive at the parking lot, you'll have a new objective.
New Objective (A): Find Bill and make the deal.
Walk forward into the parking lot, and you should see a man in the small room
off to your left. Go up to him, and he'll tell you that "they're waiting for
you already, mister." Now make your way up to the top level of the garage. You
can either go the long route, through the garage itself, as if you were a car,
or the short route, up the stairs to your right. Anyway, you'll eventually end
up on the top level, where you should see some men standing around next to a
truck at the far end (to your left if you took the stairs). Go near them, and a
cinematic will begin.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: Hey there, Bill. It's good to see you again.
Bill: Hey, Paulie.
Paulie: These are my partners and good friends... They like the idea of
working together and they also like first-rate whisky, which yours
certainly is.
Bill: That it is.
Paulie: The main thing is that Don Salieri likes it too, and since he's
financing the whole deal. Here's your first payment for the goods.
(Paulie gives him the money.)
Bill: Give Mr. Salieri my regards. I'm always happy to do business with
people like him.
Paulie: You should be, Bill. You could hit it big with this. If this small
delivery works out for us, we'll order a lot more next time.
(Suddenly, several gangsters arrive in two cars.)
Tommy: Take cover!
Bill: What's going on? Jesus, who are they?
(The gangsters open fire on them, and Bill is killed.)
Paulie: Fire, kill the bastards!
[End of cinematic]
As soon as the cinematic ends, you'll be thrust into a massive firefight. One
thing that might help you if you're having trouble here is to fiddle around
before the cinematic. Go to the top level, but don't get close enough to Bill
to start the cinematic. Steal some of the cars (it is a parking lot after all)
and use them to set up blockades so that when the gangsters attack, you'll have
additional cover. Another good tip during the firefight is to aim for the
engines of the gangsters' cars. Often, you can get them to explode, causing
massive damage to those standing nearby. Similarly, the yellow barrels
scattered around this area will also explode if shot repeatedly. Finally, don't
neglect Paulie or Sam. Though they are capable fighters, try to keep them
covered, because if they die, you fail.
After you kill the first two carloads of gangsters, a third car will come
screeching up the ramp. Try to blow this one up as quickly as possible, because
doing so will guarantee kills, rather than mere injuries. Once all three groups
have been taken out, gather up any remaining ammo scattered about (including
from the corpses of Bill and his associates) and make your way slowly towards
the enemy cars. I'd recommend taking the Thompson and pump-action shotgun, but
it's your choice if you'd rather use different weapons. Anyway, approach the
ramp at the opposite end of the garage and head down.
There should be two more gangsters on foot in the next area. They aren't always
in the same place, but one of them is usually inside the fenced area in the
middle. Once they are both dead, move towards this fenced rectangle and go
inside. There is a cabinet here, worth 50 health. If you've already sunk below
50 health, you might as well use it.
Head back outside and crouch down. Look around until you locate a white
Schubert Six on this level. If you crouch and look underneath it, you might be
able to see a gangster's legs. Either shoot him from where you are, or sneak
around and shoot him from another angle. Whatever you do, make sure that he's
dead. Right next to him, behind the Schubert, is a 3x3 box with grenades in it.
I'd recommend picking up all four, as they will help you immensely later on.
From here, head forward towards the next ramp down. Slowly edge out, peering
over as far left as you can aim. There should be a few more gangsters here.
Try to use suppressive fire from the Thompson as Paulie and Sam go for the
kill, or quickly take them out yourself. You may have taken serious damage
here, so go back up the ramp to the fenced area and heal. In fact, I'd
recommend healing yourself, even if you have more than 50 health, simply to top
it off for the next (more difficult) area. Now continue down the next ramp.
This level is completely devoid of enemies, but the next ramp down is where
you'll likely have trouble. The gangsters have blocked off the area using two
cars, and will begin throwing Molotov cocktails at you when you get near. Also,
many of them have Thompsons, and will be firing at you from behind the cover of
flames and cars, making it extremely difficult to pinpoint their location and
return fire. I've also had some issues here with Paulie and Sam running
forward and getting cut to pieces or dying from the flames. This is where
those four grenades will come in very handy. Assuming you have a basic grasp of
the throwing arc (if not, practice, practice, practice), you should be able to
get a few grenades down there from quite a distance away. Make sure to land one
or two directly under the cars, so as to destroy the roadblock and the
gangsters' source of cover.
After launching your grenades in that general region, the blockade should be
completely destroyed, and the resulting explosions should have killed most of
the gangsters. Look around from your current position, and use your Thompson to
kill anyone who's still alive. As you near the ramp, be careful. There will
most likely be two gangsters far to the left who evaded your grenades. Take
them down and clear out this bottom level. You will also notice a health
cabinet to the right of the door to the ticket office. It's worth 50 health,
and I'd recommend using it now, regardless of your current health level.
One note about the stairs: When you're coming into the garage, and when you're
returning upstairs for the truck, feel free to use either the ramp or the
stairs. However, when you're making your way down, fighting gangsters on every
level, you should use the ramps, not the stairs. If you do try to take the
stairs to the bottom level (essentially bypassing the car blockade), you'll
have an enemy grenade land at your feet, which will practically guarantee your
death.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: I was recently informed that returning down the stairs was not a death-
wish, and in fact, might even be a BETTER idea. Take a look at what one reader
had to say:
"I didn't use your guide much when beating this mission, but despite of
reasons you're using here, using the staircase was the most effective
(in terms of remaining HP) solution, at least for me. I did the following:
- using staircase, I went to the very level where the gangsters had
blocked the way
- shot a couple times using Thompson gun (a random shot should trigger
the grenade, I think)
- ran back to the next floor using the staircase
- gangsters threw a grenade, but since I was a half-floor above, I
didn't get hit at all
- returned back by stairs and cleared the floor. After this routine I did lose
only 4 HPs as well as Paulie & Sam have lost about 10-15 HPs each. Your way =
20-30 damage for me and 30-40 for Sam/Paulie. Maybe I just can't operate
grenades well ;) At least I wasn't using them in the part 12-03 when I killed
all the gangsters near the car with a Tommy gun..."
(information submitted by Anatoly Ivanov)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paulie: Bill's kicked it, he won't be no magnet now.
Tommy: What the hell was that, Paulie? Who were those hoods?
Paulie: How should I know?
Sam: Okay, okay! Well, we can't hang around here waiting for more of them
to show up, let's get the truck and get the hell out of here! Tom, you
drive! I'll follow behind in one of the other cars.
After that's all taken care of, head back up to the top level and get in the
Bolt Model B Pickup that has the crates of whiskey in the back. As soon as you
enter the car, you'll notice that it has a damage meter. Because of this, you
must be very careful as you drive down the ramp to the bottom level. Navigate
around the gangster cars until you reach the ground floor. If the two-car
roadblock is still blocking the path, either slowly and carefully push your way
through them, or steal another car and ram through, then get out and return to
the pickup. Drive out of the garage and your game will be saved with a new
objective.
Game Saved: 12-03 A Great Deal!-Car Chase
New Objective (B): Drive the truck to Salieri's Warehouse.
Paulie: Tom! We have a little problem here! Step on it!
If you remember from the mission "A Trip to the Country," Salieri's Warehouse
is northeast of Hoboken. However, it's not as simple as a Sunday drive;
you'll soon pick up a tail. Don't forget, you're driving a Bolt Model B, not
some Silver Fletcher here. Your car isn't very fast, agile, or strong, so you
might have some trouble with your pursuers. Like in the very first mission "An
Offer You Can't Refuse," your best bet is shaving the gangsters off your tail.
Wait until they try to pull up alongside you, then squeeze by a lamp post or
another car so that they run into it.
Note: I recently discovered another method of dealing with your opposition. As
soon as you leave the parking garage, get out of the truck. Walk to the left,
where a number of gangsters are just about to get in their cars to chase you.
If you have any grenades left from the previous part of this mission, you'll
have a much easier time with this strategy. Stand back and aim a grenade so
that it lands somewhere near the middle of their group. If you did it right,
you should have killed every single one. If one or two are left alive, simply
mow them down with your Thompson before they have a chance to get up. If you
don't have any grenades, simply try to gun down everyone with whatever weapons
you have. It'll just be a little harder than with some explosive assistance. In
any case, get back in the truck and enjoy your gangster-free drive to the
warehouse.
Tommy: Okay, we did it.
Once there, get out of the car and talk to Paulie to trigger another save game,
cinematic, and the end of the mission.
Game Saved: 12-04 A Great Deal!-Back At The Bar
[Cinematic]
Paulie: So it looks like Morello got in the way of things again, boss. We
can't seem to shake off this bad luck.
Salieri: Boys, you won't believe this, but it's completely the other way
around. The only one who really had bad luck this time was Morello.
Paulie: What?
Salieri: I found out who our Mr. Gates really was.
Tommy: And?
Salieri: Gates was never really from Kentucky. He was a small-time thief
who stole the goods from Morello and wanted to sell them to us! Morello
doesn't think that he almost stopped our deal, but that we pinched a
truckload of his most expensive whisky. I bet that bastard's happy now!
Tommy: Unbelievable!
Paulie: Well, that worked out just fine. Let's drink to that!
Salieri: To another success, boys! Salute!
(They raise their glasses for a toast.)

[Cinematic]
1938
(The camera shows the front page of a newspaper. The title is "DECEMBER 5TH
1933 THE END OF PROHIBITION!" Then it switches to Tommy and Norman.)
Norman: The end of prohibition in thirty-three... You probably weren't too
happy, huh? The end of the good ol' days...
Tommy: Yeah, not too happy, but it wasn't all bad. Eventually, I did get
married to Sarah and had a daughter. It was a good time. But life went on
in business. We made a huge amount of dough during prohibition, which we
invested into new deals. A lot of them were legitimate. We had regular
firms like construction, transport, restaurants... We ran labor unions...
And, of course, there was gambling, betting, the lotteries... We actually
did really well. We just tried to stay out of drugs, even if it wasn't
always easy.
Norman: C'mon! Business is business, right?
Tommy: You're way off there! The Cosa Nostra ain't no Paddies or Chinamen!
With drugs, comes big money and even bigger problems. When someone has a
problem with the cops because of drugs, he does the sensible thing - he
admits it. If his family catches him they rub him out! Drugs are taboo.
Norman: So, what, there's some kind of grand pooba passing judgment?
Tommy: Something like that. The leading families choose a Boss of Bosses.
They sort out the big problems and set the rules of the game.
Norman: So criminals who break the law have their own courts that judge
them? That's just great.
Tommy: Laws aren't changeless, holy words. Every country in the world has
their own. It's just somebody with a lot of power applying their own will.
It depends on the person whether they'll serve someone else blindly, or
apply their own will. Why should the Don be restrained? The mafia prevailed
through prohibition with its own laws. A handful of poor uneducated
immigrants from Sicily were stronger than all the laws, courts and police
here in the States. That took some doing.
Norman: What, with murder? With the suffering they caused?
Tommy: C'mon! You think that the mafia just murders innocent people? The
mafia punishes those who break laws, and the majority of your laws too.
Unfortunately, we can't put anyone in jail, or fine them. Everybody who
comes and works for us knows what to expect if he breaks the rules. People
lie and steal and there are lots of criminals here who get unbelievable
pleasure when they steal from the mob, as well as the Mafiosos who get
pleasure from cheating the state.
Norman: And what about all the payoffs, robberies and raids? Uh?
Tommy: Hey, the cops ain't no saints neither. No Don encourages his men to
go around harming people and what other people do on their own isn't our
concern. And as for the payoffs, most people come to the Don for help and
advice on their own. And they'll pay gladly for it. The Don is an esteemed
person. But not every Don is like Salieri. That's the truth.
Norman: There you go. Your system works, but you know why? Because you're a
bunch of selfish murderers, and you only care about your own gain. All your
efforts are spent ensuring that you live like pigs in shit. That's why
you're so successful, you're only looking out for yourselves. We look out
after everybody. A few cops have to ensure law and order for all, and
that's a much harder job.
Tommy: That's true, but you can easily leave the Don outside your
protection. He'll watch his own back.
Norman: And what about you? What are you sitting here for?

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
1935
(Tommy enters the bar, and finds Salieri inside sitting at one of the
tables.)
Salieri: Ah Tommy, I'm glad you're here. I was afraid I'd miss you.
Tommy: Hey, boss, what's going on?
Salieri: There's something I've been looking forward to all week. I'm going
to Pepe's restaurant for lunch, but my personal bodyguard has called in
sick. There's nobody here who could take me, and I prefer not to go to
these things alone. You'll take me, won't you?
Tommy: Certainly, boss.
Salieri: Bravo! Let's get going then, I'm already pretty hungry. Have you
got a piece on you, Tommy?
Tommy: Yeah, I got one. You think I'll need it?
Salieri: Well, ha ha, probably not, but it's better to be sure. You know
how it is.
(They walk out of the bar.)
Salieri: We'll take my car.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic, your game will be saved, and you'll have a new
objective.
Game Saved: 13-01 Bon Appetit!-City
New Objective (A): Drive Salieri to Pepe's restaurant in New Ark for Lunch
You'll start off standing right next to Salieri's Lassiter V16 Roadster. Circle
around to the driver's side and get in. Drive northeast towards New Ark, using
whatever roads and bridges you please. There's no time limit, so driving
recklessly isn't advised. Be sure to avoid damaging yourself or the Don. As you
drive, Salieri will say a few words.
Salieri: Tommy, I'm really looking forward to this. Pepe is a native
Sicilian, and, above all, a fantastic chef. Whenever I feel like a
specialty from back home I go to him. Wait till you try his cheeses! Forget
about it. Luigi's a great cook, but Pepe is a real master, a maestro!
Once you arrive in New Ark, follow your map/compass to Pepe's restaurant. It's
in western New Ark, but still relatively near the center of the neighborhood.
When you get within half a block or so of your destination, a cinematic will
play.
[Cinematic]
Salieri: At last! I could eat a horse!
(They enter the restaurant and are welcomed by Pepe.)
Pepe: Hey, Don Salieri, welcome.
Salieri: Pepe, you don't even know how much I'm looking forward to your
specialties!
(Tommy and Salieri sit down and have their meal.)
Salieri: Fantastic meal, Pepe! I haven't eaten that well in a long time!
Pepe: Molte grazie, Don. Praise from a gourmet like you always makes me
fill with joy.
Salieri: Oh please, I'm no gourmet. If you knew what I ate for dinner
yesterday, you definitely wouldn't say that.
Pepe: Can I get you anything else, Don? I have an excellent Chianti.
Salieri: Really? Let's get it out here then, Pepe!
Pepe: At once, sir.
(Pepe leaves.)
Salieri: How did you like it, Tommy?
Tommy: It was fantastic, boss. I'll have to bring Sarah here sometime.
Salieri: Ah, yes, you certainly should, Tommy. Just be careful so that
Sarah doesn't take offense she cooks worse than Pepe. Ha ha...
(Suddenly, several gangsters arrive in cars in front of the restaurant and
open fire. Several customers are shot in the fire. Tommy tips the table
over and he and Salieri take cover.)
Salieri: What the hell is going on? This is ruining my lunch!
Tommy: Morello must have nothing better to do.
Salieri: They could have at least let me taste the wine, Cafoni!
(The gangsters outside cease fire.)
Gangster: Hahaha! Throw him his present, Joe! Maybe we'll smoke him out!
(One of them throws a grenade inside. It explodes but does not affect Tommy
and Salieri.)
Tommy: Working for you is real interesting, boss.
Salieri: What'd you say? My ears are ringing from that blast.
Tommy: Yes, boss.
Salieri: It looks like we won't get out this way. Try and run round the
back of them while I keep them entertained.
Tommy: Yes, boss. Be careful.
[End of Cinematic]
Game Saved: 13-02 Bon Appetit!-Pepe's Restaurant
After the cinematic ends, you and Don Salieri will be pinned down behind a
table while numerous Morello gangsters fire at you from outside. Your job is to
circle around the back, flank the gangsters, and kill them all. Don Salieri
will remain behind the table the whole time. However, don't underestimate him.
He's a wicked shot with his S&W Model 27 Magnum, and as long as one of the
gangsters doesn't get a perfectly clear bead on him, he should be able to stay
alive without much intervention on your part. Still, once in a while, one
gangster will manage to target some part of the Don that isn't behind the
table, and his health will drop rapidly. Other than going as fast as you can,
there really isn't much you can do. Sometimes, you'll just get unlucky and
have to reload your save.
To begin, you'll have a Colt 1911 with a full clip and two extra magazines of
ammunition. From your starting point, immediately crouch down and turn around
180 degrees. Run to the wall, turn right and go through this door. If you've
taken significant damage by this point, I'd honestly recommend just reloading
your save game. Up ahead, in the next hallway, you'll find a health kit worth
25 points. You can use it now to heal any wounds you got from random fire
during the first ten seconds of the mission. Alternatively, you could leave it
for (slightly) later. Make sure that you run quickly by the window on your
right, as an enemy is sometimes in a position to hit you through it.
From the health cabinet (whether you used it or not), go forward and out the
door. Turn right and peek around the long, narrow alley to your left. There
should be a gangster with a Thompson here. Use your Colt to deliver
suppressive fire to his head or chest. If he's not there, edge forward, as
he's probably right around the corner. Try to ambush him and quickly take him
out before he can fire too much at you. Depending on how much you just got
hurt, and how Salieri's holding up, now might be a good time to return for
that health cabinet. However, watch out on your way back. There was a closed
door directly on your right when you first exited Pepe's. There is a good
chance that it's now open, and gangsters may be coming out of it. That door
leads into a hallway that lies parallel to Pepe's. However, that route isn't
the best for dealing with the gangsters.
Make your way to where the first man with the Thompson was. If you never went
back to get the health, you're already in the right place. Turn right and run
along the sidewalk, then take another right around the corner. You've now
essentially flanked the gangsters. Start shooting at them with your Thompson.
Use suppressive fire liberally and make sure that you don't let gangsters with
shotguns get too close to you. Stay near or up against the wall on your right,
because there is sometimes a man upstairs (in the building parallel to Pepe's).
Once all the gangsters from the front of the building are eliminated, you might
get a cinematic. This means that every one of them is dead. If you don't
however, head back into the building parallel to Pepe's and slowly ascend the
staircase. There's likely a man up here, but you should be able to pick him
off, especially if he's still facing outside. Mop up the area, and be sure to
get the health cabinet if you haven't done so already. Once the last gangster
is killed and the cinematic begins, you won't be able to return for the health.
[Cinematic]
Salieri: I have to say, you got balls, Tommy. You saved my ass.
Tommy: You weren't so bad yourself, boss...
Salieri: Christ, that was crazy. Thank God Pepe hid. Poor guy, I'll have to
send him some dough for repairs.
Tommy: We should. Boss, I'd like to know how they knew where we were. You
think they followed us?
Salieri: I don't think so, Tommy. I have a feeling I know who set me up.
Tommy: Who?
Salieri: Carlo, my bodyguard! That goddamn son of a bitch! He's the only
one who knew where I was going. And he also excused himself from work
today! He knew very well what was gonna happen!
Tommy: That sounds pretty likely.
Salieri: Yeah, I think so! I'll tear him apart like a rag doll! Carlo lives
in a rented house in Little Italy, a little way from our bar. There's a
pizzeria downstairs. We're going!
[End of cinematic]
After the cinematic, you'll be outside the restaurant with the Don. The ground
should still be strewn with weapons (and I'd advise that you collect them), but
the back alley and other buildings are all closed off. Your game will also be
saved, and you'll have a new objective.
Game Saved: 13-03 Bon Appetit!-After The Attack
New Objective (B): Drive to Carlo's house near the West Marshall Bridge and
kill him.
Get back into your Lassiter V16 Roadster, or take one of the gangsters' three
Schubert Extra Six Fordors. Just make sure the Don gets into the car before you
drive away. Next, make your way towards the northern part of the Works Quarter,
where Carlo lives. Like your objective describes, the West Marshall Bridge is
a good landmark/indicator. Follow your map/compass the rest of the way to find
his exact location. Once you reach the apartment building, get out of the car,
run up and open the door. The game will be saved.
Game Saved: 13-04 Bon Appetit!-Carlo
Follow Don Salieri up the stairs towards Carlo's apartment. When he reaches
the door, Salieri will yell out a threat, and then tell you to go and get him.
Press action to kick open the door, and you should see Carlo fleeing down the
fire escape.
Salieri: Carlo! You old bastard! We're coming for you! Let's do it, Tom.
Break down the door, bust in there and kill the bastard.
Salieri: He's run down the fire escape, Tommy! Get him!
Move towards the window and Tommy will climb out. Run down the fire escape and
chase after Carlo. Be careful, though; he has a Model 27 Magnum. You may be
rather injured from the firefight at the restaurant, and as a result, Carlo can
kill you surprisingly quickly you don't locate and eliminate him promptly. As
soon as he goes down, a few of his buddies will come and attack you. Only one
of them has a firearm (a Colt Detective Special), whereas the others just have
melee weapons. Take them all down using your Thompson or shotgun.
Note: One of the men here has a "Steel Bar" as a melee weapon. This is one of
the few times you can find it in the game. It's basically the same as the plank
from "Sarah," but made of metal.
Once all the men are dead, you'll have two cinematic sequences, then the
mission will be over.
[Cinematic]
Tommy: You know what, boss?
Salieri: What?
Tommy: That's the first time I knocked someone off in their underpants.
Salieri: It's nothing. First time for me too. There's a first time for
everything.
(The scene switches to three gangsters beating up a tied-up man in a
warehouse. Morello walks towards them.)
Gangster: Well, who do we have here!
Morello: How are you, Sergio? Staying out of trouble? I see you got a new
punching bag.
Sergio: Well, the gentleman here thinks that the finances of our labor
union ain't fair and he wants to strike.
Morello: I've always said a strike is a bad thing, real bad. Unless, of
course, it's organized by my dear brother, for a higher goal.
Man: You won't get away with this... The boys'll show you...
Morello: I think you're overestimating their bravery.
Man: You cockroach...
Morello: I didn't come for this discussion, unfortunately.
Sergio: We'd like to introduce you to some of our principals about labor
unions in this free country of ours. Carry on, boys.
(The two other gangsters continue to beat the man while Sergio walks away
to talk to Morello.)
Sergio: What's the reason for you coming, brother?
Morello: Salieri is alive.
Sergio: What? How could he survive?
Morello: I'm afraid, in the current situation we can't ask him and there is
nobody else who could tell us what happened. Our guys are dead, the
customers at the restaurant are dead and that sneak Carlo is as well.
(Morello turns towards the gangsters beating the man.)
Morello: Could you please SHUT UP? We're tryin' to talk here!
Man: You cockroach...
Gangster: That's no way to talk to Mr. Morello!
(They continue to beat him.)
Morello: Bum.
Sergio: God, he should have been there alone. How could that old man kill
so many of our guys?
Morello: He's as old as me, so I wouldn't say that. But he probably wasn't
there alone. I bet they'll be planning how to get rid of us right now.
Sergio: What shall we do?
Morello: I will try to figure out something. Anyway be careful, now his
best guys will be after us.
Sergio: So we really at war?
Morello: We have been for a long time already, but now more than ever
before. Take good care of yourself, brother.
(Morello leaves.)
Gangster: Boss, it looks like he's had enough. What do you want us to do
with him?
Sergio: I don't know... Finish him off and dump him in the ocean.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy, Salieri and Vincenzo are talking in Vincenzo's room.)
Salieri: Tommy, that assassination attempt means that Morello has openly
declared war on us. We have to deal with him. If Morello didn't have
accomplices with the politicians and other important city organizations,
our forces would be nearly equal. If we liquidate those people, our
opponent will be a lot weaker.
Vincenzo: That's exactly what we gotta do... eliminate his strong contacts.
Salieri: Right. And as we all know, an all-out war must be avoided. Get the
generals, then the soldiers will give up without a fight. So this is what
we'll do, we'll finish them off one by one.
Tommy: What do you mean exactly?
Salieri: The first in line is the city councilor who's caused us so much
trouble. Morello got him into politics, and that makes him a big supporter.
We'll take care of him after the boy, and I mean today.
Vincenzo: The councilor is celebrating his birthday and has decided to
throw a huge shindig. He's having it on a steamboat, with fireworks and the
whole nine, and he'll be making a speech to the paparazzi.
Salieri: There'll be a lot people there who won't do dick against us when
they see what happens to him.
Tommy: It sounds pretty risky.
Salieri: But well worth the risk. Vincenzo knows the plan.
Vincenzo: Okay. As I said it's on a steamboat. It won't be easy to get in
without an invite, but I know you can do it, Tom. Above all, try not to
raise suspicions before we reach our goal. Of course, you won't get a
weapon past the security, but I've dealt with that already. As soon as you
get on deck, go to one of the men's rooms.
Vincenzo: There'll be a small revolver hidden there. Afterwards, just wait
outside awhile. The councilor will probably be hiding in his cabin, but
he'll be out for the start of the celebrations and his speech. That's your
big shot. During the speech you're gonna pop him, Tom. It's got to be in
public and this speech is the best opportunity. There will be a big crowd
there so you can blend in with them once this thing is all done.
Tommy: And then what? I'd like to get back to shore in one piece.
Vincenzo: Afterwards, it'll be nuts. There'll be some security guards on
the boat, and you should be able to get past them in the chaos. If not, get
to the bow, and Paulie will pull up in a boat and bring you back safely.
Salieri: So what, Tommy? It won't be a picnic, but you should pull it off.
Tommy: Okay, I'll do it.
Vincenzo: The boat is anchored on the waterfront on Central Island. You
better get going or you'll miss it, keep an eye on the time. Buona fortuna,
Tom.
[End of cinematic]
This mission will start out with a rather lengthy cinematic explaining the plan
of attack. Basically, you're going to infiltrate the councilor's steamboat and
assassinate him. After the cinematic ends, your game will be saved and you'll
have a new objective.
Game Saved: 14-01 Happy Birthday! - Vincenzo's Workshop
New Objective (A): Infiltrate the paddle steamer and assassinate the councilor
during his speech.
As usual, head over to Ralph, who'll show you how to pick the lock on a
Crusader Chromium.
Tommy: Well, here we go again, Ralphy. Today I need something for one use,
because we don't know how it's going to work out.
Ralph: Hey, Tommy. That's no big problem. I have here this little number,
they are pretty popular these days.
(Ralph takes Tommy to a Crusader Chromium.)
Ralph: Also they are pretty solid. Look how easy they are to nab.
Tommy: Yeah, great, Ralph. That should do the trick.
As always, you can use this car, or anything else in your garage. Like Tommy
said, it's really a one-time-use situation, so it's not like you need a car
that can handle itself in a chase. When you're ready, pick your vehicle and
head out into the city.
Game Saved: 14-02 Happy Birthday! - City
To board the steamboat, you'll have to first get yourself to the docks on
Central Island. Just make your way over there and head down to the southern
tip of the island. Time is not an issue here, so don't accidentally get
yourself injured on the way there. Once you reach the docks, you'll have to get
out of your car at the parking lot and make the rest of the journey on foot.
Follow your compass down the ramp and onto the docks. If you keep following it,
you should end up right in front of the paddle steamer. However, the man
standing at the edge of the dock won't let you aboard without an invitation.
Guard: Hey, mister! You got an invite? If not kindly take a walk.
Tommy: Ehm, I must've left it someplace... Ehm...
Guard: Yeah, so like I said. Beat it!
Since you don't have an invite, and aren't about to get one, you'll have to
find another way aboard.
Facing the steamboat, turn around 180 degrees. You should see a telephone
booth, and to the right of it, an open door. Go through that door, take two
successive right turns, then head down the stairs. At the bottom, you should
see two sailor uniforms hanging on the wall. Approach one and use the action
button to put it on. Return up the stairs and back the way you came. The man
will now frisk you, and then let you board the boat. I guess he didn't get a
good look at your face before.
Guard: Okay, pal, enjoy yourself.
Game Saved: 14-03 Happy Birthday! - At The Party
New Objective (B): Find the weapon that Vincenzo hid in the men's bathroom and
kill the councilor during his speech.
You're now riding aboard the paddle steamboat. Your first order of business is
to retrieve the gun that Vincenzo planted for you. Head up the stairs and onto
the second level of the steamer. From here, head to the other end of the boat
by going to the left or right of the dining cabin, then back to the center. At
the stern, turn left and you should see a stairway leading to the third level.
Don't climb it, though. Turn around, and right next to the stairs, you should
see the men's bathroom. Unfortunately, it's out of order, and as the sign on
the door says, "skipper has key." Make sure you interact with/try to open the
door before you leave, or else Tommy won't ask for the key in the next part.
Tommy: Typical, this has to happen to me.
Make your way back to the lower level of the boat and begin walking around.
Though most of the sailors aboard the boat look pretty similar, you should be
able to distinguish the skipper. He's sitting down in a chair on the lower
level. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that the lifeguard has the key.
Tommy: I heard you had the key to the john on the upper deck.
Skipper: Yeah, the keys from that puked up pisser? The lifeguard probably
has them. He's around here somewhere.
The lifeguard is slightly pudgier than the other sailors, has a striped blue
shirt, and is usually standing around smoking. When you talk to him, he'll
refuse to give you the key. Continue to pester him, though, and he'll tell you
that you can have the key if you agree to clean up the bathroom.
Tommy: I heard you had the key to the john on the upper deck.
Lifeguard: Don't bug me, I have a lot of work to do.
Tommy: Hey, I kinda need those keys, I left something there.
Lifeguard: Yeah right, maybe I'll lend them to you, but you gotta promise
to clean up that mess in there and bring them back to me. I'll wait in the
stern for you.
Tommy: Clean up? Ehm... Sure, you bet.
Lifeguard: Okay, there you go, but bring 'em back!
Head towards the far door on the lower level of the ship (on the right side
from your starting location). It has two life rings above the door. Go
in here and pick up the bucket. Now return to the out-of-service bathroom.
Tommy: Where are you, baby? My God, what a stink!
Press action to enter the bathroom and clean it. Now pick up the Colt Detective
Special and leave. Make sure to return the key to the skipper.
Lifeguard: So you see, how easy that was. You ain't so bad, you could open
a cleaning firm.
Tommy: Yeah, and I'll use you as the rag.
Next, head up to the third level of the boat and make your way to where the
band is playing. Feel free to listen to some of this authentic period music for
a while. However, after a short time, the councilor will leave his room,
surrounded by bodyguards.
Tommy: I think it's time...
[Cinematic]
Councilor: Hello there, John, I hope you're enjoying yourself!
Man: Good evening. Yes, it's lovely here!
Councilor: How are you? I hope you like it.
Man: Thanks, we're glad to be here.
Councilor: Hey, I'm glad you could make it!
Woman: It's wonderful, thank you.
[End of cinematic]
The Councilor will now begin to speak, but you do not need to wait through the
entire speech.
Councilor: Thank you, thank you and welcome to this little party. I never
guessed I had so many really nice friends, who, I hope, will drink with me
on this special occasion. It never occurred to me in my wildest dreams that
when I was forty that I would end up like this. I started with only a small
firm and a few dollars, but I tried as best as I could. Even in the worst
of times, I always said: "With integrity a man will go farthest." And that
motto has lasted till today.
Councilor: Later on, when things were starting to go well, I got married to
my darling Agnes. Unfortunately, that terrible war came into our lives. It
was a dreadful time, but we got through it alive and healthy. My darling
wife and I could look forward to a victory for our beloved country. Shortly
after the war my one and only son was born. Though the times weren't easy,
we did quite well.
Councilor: We brought our son up to be a model American, and instilled in
his mind the principles of being a good Christian. Even as many firms fell
to ruin and folded after the boom, my business survived. I was able to make
modest donations to charities, help the unemployed, become a sponsor of the
arts, and further, we repaired a beautiful, but devastated church.
Councilor: Fate would have it that recently I had to say goodbye to my son
in that very church. He lost his life to a criminal! I promise that the
rest of my career will be aimed at the pursuit of that gangster and his
counterparts for the murder of my son! I'm going to clean up this town of
crime!
Councilor: But, this is a birthday party. I've said my piece, and now I
just want you all to enjoy yourselves on this pleasant evening. I'm
starting another decade of my life and I want to prosper alongside all of
you in a healthy and prosperous society. For me, this is the start of a new
era! I thank you.
Just approach the stage and equip your Colt Detective Special once you're close
enough to kill him easily. Also, take note of where his bodyguards are
standing, so that you can avoid them when you flee. When you're ready, quickly
pull out your weapon, aim at the councilor, and fire repeatedly until he's
dead.
New Objective (C): Escape!
Quickly run down the stairs to the lowest level of the boat. Don't bother
fighting off the bodyguards; just try to put the other partygoers between
yourself and any gunfire aimed in your direction (i.e. use the crowd as cover).
Once you reach the bottom level, head towards the front of the ship, where
Paulie will be waiting in a small boat that he's pulled up alongside the paddle
steamer. Press action to climb aboard and escape.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(The camera shows three newspapers in a row. The headlines read: "BIG CITY
REPRESENTATIVE MURDERED BY MAFIA!" "MURDER!" "PARTY MASSACRE!" Then,
Salieri is seen looking at the last newspaper and puts it down on the table
alongside the other newspapers. Tommy and Paulie are with him at the
table.)
Salieri: Tommy pulled it off. Now all the politicians in the city are
scared. Nobody wants to end up like the councilor.
Paulie: Nice job, Tom.
Salieri: But it's not enough. Now we're after Morello's right hand man -
his brother Sergio Morello, Jr. He controls the unions in the city. His
biggest assets are the dockers' unions. Thanks to whom he practically
controls every import into the city. We kill him and a big part of Morello
income is gone.
Paulie: I think I know how we'll do it, boss. Sergio is usually at the
Italian Garden restaurant. There's a telephone in the restaurant and across
the street a phone booth. You go to the booth and call inside the
restaurant saying you want to speak to Sergio. I'll be standing in front of
the restaurant with a Thompson and as soon as Sergio gets to the phone,
I'll waste him. Then we just gotta get to the car and make a quick getaway.
What do you say?
Tommy: Yeah, I suppose I can handle the calling part.
Salieri: Get to it, boys. Vincenzo will give you your weapons.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic, you'll have your game saved and a new objective.
This seems pretty basic, but don't worry; things won't take long to heat up.
Game Saved: 15-01 You Lucky Bastard! - Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Drive to the Italian Garden restaurant with Paulie and
assassinate Sergio Morello.
Follow Paulie out to the back lot of the bar. You'll see Ralph backing a
vehicle into the "new car" space, but ignore him for now. Continue around and
head up the stairs to Vincenzo's workshop.
Paulie: Vincenzo, I need a Tommy gun and something for Tom here.
Vincenzo: Okay.
(He brings the weapons from the cabinet.)
Vincenzo: Here it is, boys. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Paulie: Thanks.
Vincenzo will give Paulie a Thompson and Tommy a Colt 1911. Additionally, you
may notice that you already have a Colt Detective Special with you. This marks
Tommy's rise in the Mafia, as he can freely carry his own arms and has more
authority. However, I'd stick with the Colt 1911 unless you run out of ammo for
it. Anyway, pick up the Colt off the table, then leave the workshop and go find
Ralph. He'll show you how to pick the lock on a Guardian Terraplane.
Paulie: Hey, Ralphy. We need a car.
Ralph: Hey hey, I have a new Terraplane here. It's decent and a real big
sturdy car. You'll like it, Paulie.
(He shows them a Guardian Terraplane car.)
Ralph: It has a new type of lock, but if a person is clever it ain't no
problem to open it. Just like this... nice and easy... push in and click!
Tommy: Great!
Paulie: So let's go, Tom. Let's go!
As usual, you can take this or any other car that you have in your garage.
Whatever your choice, head out into the city.
Game Saved: 15-02 You Lucky Bastard! - The Phone Booth
As the crow flies, the Italian Garden is quite close to you; it's only a short
distance east of the Salieri Bar. However, the restaurant on Central Island,
meaning that you'll have to take the Giuliano Street Tunnel or West Marshall
Bridge to get over there. Once you arrive at the restaurant, Paulie will tell
you to stop.
Paulie: Here we are, stop right here, Tom.
Paulie: Okay, I'll stand out front. You call from that booth. Say you want
to talk to Sergio. As soon as I kill him, get in the car and wait for me.
Tommy: Sure thing.
Get out of the car and walk over to the phone booth. Press action to make the
call, and watch the cinematic.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy enters the booth while Paulie walks towards the restaurant. A few
gangsters are seen sitting at a table inside. Tommy makes his call and a
waiter responds.)
Waiter: Yeah?
Tommy: Mr. Morello please.
Waiter: Hang on.
(One of the gangsters comes and picks up the phone.)
Gangster: Buddy, Mr. Morello ain't here today.
(Paulie opens fire on him from outside, thinking he is Sergio.)
Gangster: Try... EEEEE... AAARGHH!
(The gangster dies. Tommy runs out of the booth.)
Tommy: Paulie! It isn't him! Paulie, move it, Morello isn't there!
[End of cinematic]
After the cinematic ends, you'll have a new objective.
New Objective (B): Lose the tail!
Tommy: The guy you hit wasn't Sergio! Sergio wasn't there today!
Paulie: Ah hell! Now we're in the shit! We're going back to Salieri.
Quickly get back into your car and drive away (don't leave without Paulie,
though). Use whatever techniques you've relied on in the past to lose your
pursuers. While you can head in any direction while evading them, you should
aim for the Salieri Bar, as that will be your eventual destination. If you
reach it with the gangsters still on your tail, you may have to have a final
shootout to kill them all. In any case, when they are dead or lost behind,
you'll get a new objective.
New Objective (C): Return to Salieri's
Once you get back to the bar, enter either door to start another cinematic.
You'll also notice that the Guardian Terraplane has been added to your garage.
After the cinematic's over, your game will be saved and you'll have a new
objective.
[Cinematic]
(Next, Tommy is seen with Salieri and Vincenzo in Vincenzo's room.)
Salieri: Don't worry about it, Tom. It happens to everybody sometimes.
Vincenzo and me have thought up a new plan. Biff told us that Sergio has a
mistress who he spends a lot of time with. He must be there today. Vincenzo
has put together a little surprise for him.
(A bomb is seen on Vincenzo's table.)
Salieri: All we gotta do is put it on his car while he's inside enjoying
himself.
Vincenzo: That's right, all you gotta do is put this bomb right under his
car. Then you can just enjoy the show.
Salieri: Sergio usually leaves at four, so hurry. This time it has got to
work. His mistress lives in a house in Oakwood. We'll know he's there if
his expensive little sports car's parked out in front. Stick the bomb under
it.
Tommy: That sounds a lot better. I'll get going.
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 15-03 You Lucky Bastard! - Vincenzo
New Objective (D): Drive to Morello's house and place the bomb on his car
Grab the bomb and head out of Vincenzo's workshop. You should notice that you
still have your Colt Detective Special with one clip. However, your Colt 1911
has been replaced by a fully loaded S&W Model 10. Also, your health has been
refilled to 100. Go down the stairs and into the car lot. Unfortunately, Ralph
doesn't have a new car for you. Instead, take any of the cars in your garage
(which includes the Terraplane you just used) and drive out into the city,
where your game will be saved again.
Game Saved: 15-04 You Lucky Bastard! - Fireworks
As Salieri mentioned in the cinematic, Sergio lives in Oakwood. By now, you
should be able to find your way there with little difficulty. Remember, there's
no hurry and no need to get yourself injured, so take your time. Once there,
head towards the northwest section of the neighborhood, and follow your
map/compass to the right house. You'll recognize it by the Lassiter V16
Roadster parked out front. Park your own car somewhere nearby and get out.
However, don't just walk right up to the car and try to put the bomb under it,
as one of Morello's men is standing right there. Instead, wait a few seconds.
Once this gangster finishes his smoke, he will go back inside. As soon as the
door shuts, go over to Sergio's car and place the bomb under it. Then walk
away. After a while, a cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy plants the bomb on the car. After that he walks away and lights a
cigarette while he is waiting for Sergio to get in the car. Instead of him,
however, his mistress leaves the house and enters the car.)
Tommy: Christ! No, no, no! Hey, stop! Shit!
(The car blows up and kills Sergio's mistress.)
Tommy: Damn... That's one HOT dame.
Later...
(Tommy, Salieri and Paulie are sitting at a table at the bar.)
Tommy: That girl came out and sat down in the car. I don't know, maybe he
lent it to her or something!
Salieri: It just happens sometimes. There's nothing you can do! To put it
simply, we gotta get this guy. Sergio meets with his bookie downtown in the
parking lot of the Rainbow Garden Restaurant. Get Paulie down there to fill
him full of holes. You'll just drive, Tom. Then get away fast before the
alarm goes out.
Paulie: Now I'll catch that bastard, I promise. He'll be gone and he won't
even know how I did.
Salieri: Now get a move on, so you can still catch Sergio there.
[End of cinematic]
After it's all over, you'll be back at the Salieri bar with a saved game and a
new objective.
Game Saved: 15-05 You Lucky Bastard! - Rainbow Garden
New Objective (E): Drive to the Rainbow Garden restaurant with Paulie and
assassinate Sergio Morello.
Your destination - the Rainbow Garden restaurant - is located in the far
southeastern corner of Downtown. Once there, go to the small parking lot where
you'll see Sergio and a few other men standing around. A cinematic will play.
As soon as it ends, you'll be forced to flee from Sergio and his gangsters.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: Those men in black, that's them!
(Paulie gets out with a Tommy gun in his hand and approaches them. They
notice him.)
Sergio: What the...
Paulie: We have a message from Mr. Salieri.
Sergio: What the hell's going on?
(However, Paulie's gun jams as he tries to shoot.)
Paulie: Oh no...
Sergio: Well, that certainly changes the situation, gentlemen. Kill that
clown!
(Paulie runs back to the car.)
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 15-06 You Lucky Bastard! - Escape
New Objective (F): Lose the tail!
As was the case with the first car chase in this mission, utilize the
strategies that have worked best for you in the past. Also, like before, you
might want to be heading in the general direction of the Salieri Bar, as that's
where you have to go after you evade Sergio and company. Anyway, once you lose
the tail, you'll have a new objective.
New Objective (G): Return to Salieri's
Just get back to the Bar. Once there, enter either door for yet another
cinematic, another save game, and another objective.
[Cinematic]
Later...
Tommy: (narrating) After so many foul-ups Salieri gave the job to other
people. I only went with them as kind of an insurance policy.
(Tommy is sitting in a car parked on the side of the road at a railway
crossing. A car with two gangsters assigned by Salieri passes next to him.
They stop for a moment when they get side by side with his car.)
Gangster: Just sit here and watch, so you don't screw up again.
(The camera shows the shed of the railway employee controlling the
crossing. However, he has been tied up and been replaced by another
gangster. Next, the two gangsters park their car near the crossing.)
Gangster: Amateur...
(They lower their heads in order to prevent being seen when Sergio's car
arrives at the crossing. The gangster in the shed rings the bell for them
to stop but the barriers remain open. The two gangsters bring up their car
right behind Sergio's, and a train is seen speeding towards the crossing.)
Sergio: Why don't the barriers... close?
(Sergio sees the car behind them. The two gangsters move forward to push
Sergio's car in front of the speeding train.)
Sergio: GO!
(Sergio's car moves and avoids being hit by the train at the last moment.
The car of the two gangsters is hit and destroyed instead. Sergio's car
speeds away.)
Tommy: Real damned professional.
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 15-07 You Lucky Bastard! - Railway Crossing
New Objective (H): Kill Sergio Morello.
For this part of the mission, all you have to do is chase Sergio's car. Don't
bother actually trying to kill him, because you won't be able to, and you'll
just end up wasting ammo. This chase is nothing more than an excuse to
transport you to a new setting and the meat of this mission. Just like before,
your health and weaponry have been restored. Anyway, just pursue Sergio, trying
not to fall too far behind (or else you'll fail). He'll eventually make his way
to the Works Quarter and then to the Harbor. Once you get there, another
cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Sergio: Hey, what are you staring at? Kill that bastard tailing me!
(Sergio's car drives away. As Tommy enters the harbor, the guards open fire
on him. He gets out and takes cover behind his car.)
Guard: Okay, come on out, you bastard!
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 15-08 You Lucky Bastard! - The Harbor
After the cinematic ends, you'll have three gangsters to deal with. The one
farthest to your right will immediately run around to the side in an attempt to
flank you. Watch where he goes and kill him before he can get a shot off. The
enemy to your left will run farther to the left and hide behind the hedges with
his shotgun. Try to edge out around the side of your car and peg him in the
head. The final gangster (in the middle) doesn't move, but does have a very
lethal Thompson. Run or roll to the side of the car and immediately hit him, so
that he can't return fire. Watch out, as another man (with a shotgun) will run
out from behind the truck. Quickly drop him with whatever weaponry you have.
Now go collect the weapons and ammo from all the men (including the one Tommy
shot in the cinematic).
Next, you'll want to continue straight ahead (from the entrance). However, you
may want to use the truck, as there are many enemies coming up in the next
area. As you reach a T-intersection, a truck will pull out from your right and
another will park up ahead. Gangsters will exit both of these vehicles and
begin firing at you. Try using a strategy similar to the one I outlined in the
walkthrough for "Omerta." Use the truck to run over the men, instead of having
a massive shootout. Just make sure you don't stop the vehicle for too long, or
one of the gangsters might pull you out. Whatever your choice, try to kill all
the enemies in the open area, but ditch the truck once you reach the space with
all the stacks of wood and the house/shack to your right.
Once they're all dead, leave the truck, and head towards this building, making
sure to watch out for more enemies. Go up the very low-incline ramp and hug the
wall in front of you. Edge around to the left, and you should be able to see
(via the third-person camera) an enemy atop the red cargo crane off in the
distance. Quickly run around the corner and up the stairs, doing your best to
avoid being hit by this sniper. Once on the second floor, slow down and crouch.
Look to your right, and you'll see a man with a shotgun looking out the window.
You can try to edge up on him with your own shotgun, but he's liable to turn
and fire without warning. You're better off hitting him at your current range
with one of your handguns. Just remember to pick up your Thompson or shotgun
after you kill him (as Tommy will drop one of these when you equip a handgun).
The following is optional. It can hurt you if you're not careful, but it can
help greatly if you know what you're doing. It involves killing more enemies
(who therefore won't be alive to hurt you later), and can provide you a number
of grenades, which can prove to be very useful towards the end of this mission.
Optional path
_____________________________________________________________________________
| |
| Go back down the stairs and left around the building. Cross over to the |
| similar building on your right. Go around to its right, then stop at the |
| corner. Again, using the third-person camera, you should see a man with a |
| rifle on top or behind the train car around the corner. Kill him, then |
| circle around the building and kill the two other gangsters who are hiding |
| between or around the train cars. One of them may rush you, so be careful. |
| Behind the train cars, you will find a box full of grenades (take a couple) |
| and a health cabinet on the wall of the nearby building (directly to your |
| left and across the parking lot from you first entered the harbor). Now |
| return to where you went and shot the man upstairs. |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
End of optional path
Back away from the building and go behind the metal crates to your left.
Continue left, through the street between warehouses. If you go back far
enough, you'll be out of range of the snipers on the cargo cranes. Be careful
when you reach the T-Intersection (to your right) as three enemies will come
out from behind corners and from open warehouses. Once they're all killed,
continue straight past the "Dispatch Hall."
In the next area, you should see a number of red crates to your right. Again,
you can go into this maze, though you should watch out for men hiding nearby
with shotguns. Through here and to the right is "Hall 2." You can continue
across the street and into another building for a health cabinet (50 health),
but I'd leave it until later unless you're really hurt. Whatever you do, keep
moving away from the harbor entrance, and eventually you should see Sergio's
car parked outside a warehouse.
Be careful in this area, as both the snipers on the cranes and men on the
ground have clean shots at you. However, if you manage to shoot the large round
barrels on one of the trains (the light white ones, not the dark black ones),
they will explode, killing the gangsters and the snipers. Otherwise, you should
just try to take them out normally.
Make your way over to where two dark black cylindrical tanks rest on train
cars. You may be attacked from long range by two gangsters by the back
entrance. You can go and kill them, but at that range, they're not much danger
(they both have shotguns). Head towards the building to the left of these cars.
Take out the man with the Springfield rifle in this building and enter it
through the door nearby. Head right through the other door within the building,
and you'll find a health cabinet on the wall. Use it, then return to the train
cars outside.
At this point, make sure everyone in the immediate area is dead. If the snipers
are still pestering you, use the explosive barrels to take them out. If they
somehow survive that, grab the Springfield from the man in the building behind
you and use it to finish them off.
Anyway, once everyone's dead, go up to the train cars. You will notice two
levers: one right in front of the cars, the other alongside the tracks, near
Sergio's Lassiter. Pull the levers so that the track leads from the stationary
cars to the building in which Sergio is hiding. When you're ready, go to the
block of wood holding the first car in place and press action. Watch the car go
down the track, and eventually it will collide with the door.
If you messed up the track switching and the train went somewhere else, all
hope is not lost. Check both switches/levers, and mess around with them until
you can see that the tracks lead towards the right warehouse. You can then use
the second train car (as a backup in case you messed up the first one).
However, if you still miss with the second, you'll have to reload your save
game (from the beginning of the harbor). Anyway, assuming you did this right,
follow the train car to the warehouse where it ended up. Walk towards it, and a
cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Sergio: Ha, that didn't work... Huh! I don't know what you're tryin', you
bastard! My brother'll kill you along with your whole family!
(Tommy lights a cigarette.)
Sergio: Give it up, you're dead! You won't get in here, idiot! You're too
small for me! HEY! Do you hear?
(Tommy walks away and throws his cigarette on the trail created by the
leaking fuel. The fire leads to the wagon and it blows up, destroying the
doors.)
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 15-09 You Lucky Bastard! - Sergio
When the cinematic ends, you'll be around the corner from the warehouse doors.
Make a wide circle around and get your weapons ready. If you picked up a few
grenades earlier, they should come in handy here. Otherwise, just rush in with
your Thompson or shotgun. You'll have to fight through a fair number of
gangsters here, so be careful. Use the piles of wood as cover and take down
anyone you see. You might die a few times, but keep trying. Eventually, you
should be able to stay alive through the ordeal. Once you get near the other
side of the warehouse, you should see Sergio with his Thompson. Wait until he
has to reload, then waste this lucky bastard once and for all.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy stands over Morello's corpse.)
Tommy: You lucky bastard.
[End of cinematic]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Reader Anatoly Ivanov informed me that the strategy of using the truck to
eliminate gangsters could be continued past the opening section of the harbor.
Read what he had to say:
"Basically, your idea about using a truck to deal with gangsters inspired me
much. So, there is my version how to beat the mission.
- After the cinematic, deal with four gangsters (as you've said)
- Get into the truck. After a bunch of gangsters on trucks arrive, keep
running over all of them until you kill them or they will lose all of
their ammo.
- After then, ride forward, between a building labeled "LOST HEAVEN
PORT" and a warehouse with parked truck (IIRC, where the cigar boxes are
in Mission 18). Two-three gangsters will appear. Just use the same running
over strategy.
- After you've dealt with these gangsters, continue going in the same
direction as before. You'll see some grass path between the fence and a
building (2 yellow barrels are near it). Follow this path, until you see a
house with red/brown roof, Bolt Ace Pickup parked outside it and two
gangsters. Just run them over once again.
- Now you should see a warehouse with four "NO PARKING" gates and a
door. Enter this door. In this passage, open the second door at right,
you'll see a guy there (he's a sniper). He doesn't turn around, so just hit him
from back with any gun. Grab his rifle. There is also a fist aid kit in
the next room.
- Now use Bolt Ace Pickup(little truck) parked somewhere (if you can't
find it, using a truck, go to 2 big black barrels, turn right there and
follow railroad tracks until you bump into two platforms with a locomotive
parked to rightmost of them. Kill all the gangsters(3) there, using a
rifle you've obtained. Bolt Ace Pickup should be there return to big black
barrels) and go to those black barrels on platforms.
- After either of this ways, you should have got Bolt Ace Pickup and
stand near 2 barrels on platforms. Use them to open the warehouse. Watch
the cutscene. Return back to Bolt Ace Pickup.
- Now, using the car, ride inside the warehouse, turn left between two
vertical columns(that's where small Bolt Ace Pickup comes in handy) and
follow the track. So you won't need to deal with all of that gangsters. Near
the end of track turn left a bit into the opening, and Sergio should pop
up there!!! If your speed is good enough, you'll kill the bastard without
even a single shot! Now, refill your health with a first aid kit, and
return back using the same car. Once outside, I think you know what to do."
(information submitted by Anatoly Ivanov)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Objective (I): Return to the Salieri Bar, alternatively, you could visit
Lucas Bertone on the way
Head out of the harbor. You may want to stop by one of the health cabinets if
you're injured, especially if you're going to attempt the Lucas Bertone
side-mission. The closest kit is on the wall in the small office behind you.
Once you reach the large open area, you'll find that another two cars, both
full of gangsters, have arrived. During this shootout, you may be hit some
more. If you want, you can return to the health cabinet I suggested earlier, or
any other one that you haven't used (check the pre-mission setup for all health
cabinet locations).
When you're ready to leave, return to this area and take one of the gangsters'
Schubert Extra Sixes. Then head out of the harbor.
Game Saved: 15-10 You Lucky Bastard! - Return To The Bar
As usual, I'm operating under the assumption that you're going to do the Lucas
Bertone side-mission. If this is not the case, simply return to the Salieri
Bar.
Anyway, head to Bertone's shop in Downtown. Once there, Lucas will explain that
one of his friends has been shot in Chinatown. You have to race up there and
get him to a doctor in Oakwood.
Lucas: You're sent from heaven, Tommy! I need some wheels quick!
Tommy: What happened?
Lucas: A buddy of mine called, one of our friends was shot in Chinatown,
he's lying in a street near the square and needs help! You need to get him
and take him to the doc in Oakwood!
Tommy: There's a hospital in Oakwood?
Lucas: He's the one that you took Sam to once.
Tommy: Sure, I remember.
Lucas: So? Can you do it?
Tommy: Okay, if you clean up the blood from the upholstery.
Lucas: That's no problem, but move it, he's dying out there!
Game Saved: 15-11 You Lucky Bastard! - Lucas Bertone
As soon as he finishes explaining the predicament, get in your car and leave.
You don't have much time on this mission, so you'll have to move fast. I'd
recommend going north to New Ark, then over the Terranova Bridge to Chinatown.
Once you're there, head to the far northwestern corner and follow your
map/compass to your exact destination. You'll see a bloody man laying on the
ground. However, this is not your target. Ignore this guy, and instead look in
the small alcove slightly beyond him. There, a man is trying to help someone
who's been seriously wounded. Talk to him and they'll both get into your car.
Man: At last! Luca sent you?
Tommy: Yeah. What's wrong with him?
Man: What do you think? He got hit by a 45. The second one's much worse
off, so it ain't a good idea to take him to the hospital.
(The wounded man raises his head.)
Wounded Man: Hhhhh... Take me to the doctor in Oakwood.
Man: Make it quick, if someone don't take a look at him, he won't make it.
Tommy: Okay, let's go.
Wounded Man: Arrrghh, shit, this had to happen to me.
Man: Don't give up now, bud. You'll with the doc in a while and he'll put
you back together again. It'll be okay, hang on!
Now, quickly drive back over the Terranova Bridge into New Ark, then head
south all the way to Oakwood. Watch your clock/timer and the wounded
man's health, and try to avoid both the police and large collisions.
Hopefully, you can make it to the doctor's residence in time. Once you're done,
you'll get a new objective.
Man: Here it is! Stop here! Thanks a lot. Okay, let's go, bud. We're okay,
the doc'll look at you.
(They get out of the car and go to the house.)
Tommy: Jesus, what a mess, the whole car is covered in blood! I hope Luca
has a lot of soap.
New Objective (J): Return to Lucas
Just make your way back to Lucas' shop in Downtown. I'm sure you know the way
by now. Once there, Tommy and Lucas will have a short conversation. After that,
Lucas will give you the information you need for your next bonus car.
Lucas: Is he okay?
Tommy: Yeah, they're at the doctor, he'll be okay.
Lucas: Uff! That's a load off my mind, he's my good buddy! I owe you one.
Tommy: Well, since you do, could you clean the blood off the seats? The car
looks like a slaughter house.
Lucas: Don't worry, Tommy, I'll sort it out.
Tommy: Well, I hope so.
(Next, Lucas is seen cleaning the car with a cloth and a bucket in the
backyard of the shop with Tommy standing next to him.)
Lucas: Shit, that guy sure ain't short on blood.
Tommy: You can say that again, it was like a freakin' fountain.
Lucas: Except that water is much easier to clean off upholstery... You just
wait till it dries.
Tommy: You could donate the blood you cleaned with that cloth to the
hospital.
Lucas: Now it's mixed with soap.
Tommy: A-ha.
(Next, they are seen in front of the shop with the car.)
Lucas: Whatever, anyway I got a nice piece of work for you today and it's
no big deal to get it.
Tommy: No blood?
Lucas: No, don't worry. At the multistory car lot on Central Island there's
a beautiful sports car. You just go and lift it.
Tommy: Locks?
Lucas: Nothing special, with your skills it'll be a piece of cake. Just be
careful that the gatekeeper don't call the cops on you.
Tommy: Okay. Thanks, Luca.
(Tommy gets in his car.)
Lucas: I put a towel on the seat, so you won't get a wet ass.
Tommy: Oh, that's just great!
Game Saved: 15-12 You Lucky Bastard! - Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (K): Steal the Bruno Speedster near the parking lot on Central
Island.
Take your car and head west to Central Island. Before you go, it's a good idea
to use the cabinet on Lucas' wall to replenish whatever health you may have
lost. The car lot that you're aiming for is actually outside the parking garage
from "A Great Deal!" Anyway, once you're there, either gun down or run over the
man who's conspicuously pacing back and forth. Then get out of your car and
steal the very stylish Bruno Speedster 851 parked outside.
New Objective (L): Return to Salieri's
As usual, make your way back to the bar. Be aware of how fast your new car can
go, and try not to crash or flip it over (which will kill you instantly). Once
you arrive at the bar, the mission will end.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy, Salieri, Paulie and Sam are at the backroom of the bar.)
Salieri: It was a tough job, but we finally have Morello where we want him.
Now one last step remains... eliminate him! In his sections of the city
there's theft, robbery, blackmail, illegal lotteries, gaming rooms and
whore-houses appearing all the time. But what's the biggest problem?
Tommy: Drugs?
Salieri: Horseshit! The problem is that we don't get a cent out of it!
That'll change as soon as we get rid of Morello. His organization will
collapse and all those smalltime cheats, thieves and criminals will kill
each other without anybody over there to maintain order. Today we can
finally remove that bastard once and for all. Paulie has come up with a
plan.
Paulie: That's right! From what my informers tell me, we have one chance to
get this guy. Morello watches his back and almost never shows himself in
public. He goes everywhere in his bulletproof limo, clammed up like some
seashell. But today he's coming out. He's going to the theatre to do some
socializing with the creme de la creme of Lost Heaven. And we'll be there
to show him something too.
Tommy: Isn't this a bit risky?
Salieri: It's risky, but this is our only opportunity to waste him in
public and show everyone our power.
Paulie: We'll do it like this: Wait in front of the building until the end
of the show. People will start coming out, so there'll be a lot of
confusion. With Morello trying to make his way out, his gorillas won't have
much of a chance to notice us before we hit him. Make sure you don't draw
any attention to yourselves, so no shooting. Pull your weapons when you see
him.
Tommy: I hope I still recognize him.
Paulie: Shouldn't be hard. Morello likes to wear his white suits, not many
people wear them these days.
Salieri: Each of you get a Thompson or Lupara from Vincenzo. Wait out in
front of the theater on Central Island until Morello comes out. Then go to
it. The performance ends at 9 o'clock, so make sure you're there on time.
It should work out fine, so don't come back without his head!
Tommy: Okay, boss!
Paulie: Let's get to it!
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 16-01 Creme De La Creme - Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Drive to the Theater on Central Island with Paulie and Sam
and assassinate Morello.
Follow Paulie and Sam out into the Salieri Bar back lot, then head up to
see Vincenzo. He'll be standing outside on the stairs. After he puts out his
cigarette, just follow him back into the shop. He'll give Paulie and Sam
Thompsons and leave a Sawed-Off Shotgun out for you.
Paulie: Vincenzo, today we need some real heavy artillery. We gonna rub out
Morello.
Vincenzo: Well, I think 600 shots per minute from an ol' Tommy gun should
do the trick.
(He brings two Tommy guns from the cabinet to the table.)
Vincenzo: At the same time, we could stick to the ancient ways and use a
more traditional Sicilian weapon for a job of this size.
Collect the weaponry, then head back down into the lot. Ralph has provided you
with a Guardian Terraplane Fordor. Although I normally would say "take this or
any other car," this time, I really WOULD suggest a different option. In
particular, a Silver Fletcher or any of the advanced Lassiters would probably
be a better choice. Whatever you decide, get in, wait for Paulie and Sam, then
drive off into the city, where your game will be saved.
Game Saved: 16-02 Creme De La Creme - City
From the bar, just head down the Giuliano Street Tunnel onto Central Island.
Once there, follow your map/compass to the theater. It's right near where you
dropped off one of your passengers in "The Running Man." When you arrive,
you'll find that the show let out early and Morello is already leaving. His
Silver Fletcher is hard to miss, so turn around and follow it.
Paulie: Shit! He is leavin' already!
Sam: That damn show must have finished earlier!
Paulie: That silver limousine! Catch him!
New Objective (B): Chase and kill Morello.
Assuming you came from the main Central Island arterial, you'll have to turn
around to stay with Morello. Just follow him as he goes over the Giuliano
Bridge and into New Ark. Though Paulie and Sam will be shooting, they won't
actually be able to hurt Morello, so don't endanger yourself simply so that
they "can get a good shot." Keep tailing him north through New Ark and
eventually into the countryside. Once there, the game will be saved again.
Game Saved: 16-03 Creme De La Creme - Manhunt
Continue your pursuit down this country road until you near the airport. Here,
Morello will do one of two things. He'll either:
a. turn left into the airport
or
b. continue straight
After playing this mission quite a few times, it doesn't seem that there's
anything in particular that causes him to take one route over the other. I've
read all sorts of hypotheses - that it's dependant on what side of the road
you're driving on, how fast you're going, how close you are to Morello's Silver
Fletcher, etc. etc. Still, I've never found any of these to work consistently
enough to consider them to be causal. Regardless, you'll find that he turns
into the airport about 75% of the time. Anyway, read the airport walkthrough
below, or skip down a little bit for the continuation walkthrough.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AIRPORT WALKTHROUGH - Follow this guide if Morello turns left into the airport.
Skip down to "Continuation Walkthrough" if he doesn't.
Follow Morello left into the airport. Once inside, the game will be saved.
Game Saved: 16-04 Creme De La Creme - The Airport
As you drive up into the parking lot, your car will suddenly sputter and die.
Paulie: What is it? What the hell is happening? Why did you stop?
Tommy: I don't know, it just broke down!
Paulie: Jesus Christ, we almost have him! Sam, come on, let's make this
happen! Tom, get out and go after them, maybe you'll catch them!
Get out of the car and take out your Sawed-Off Shotgun. Run through the parking
lot, while heading directly straight ahead (past the terminal you entered in
"Omerta"). When you near the hedges/bushes, two gangsters will come around the
corner. Quickly blow them away with your shotgun. As you're fighting, you
should notice a large plane emerging from the hangar and heading down the
runway. Also, you should see that a small red bar has now appeared at the top
of your screen. This plane has Morello on board, and you can't allow him to
escape. Continue down the tarmac as you run after the plane. Suddenly, Paulie
and Sam will come driving up in the car that you just abandoned.
Paulie: C'mon, Tom, get in! We'll shoot it down! Move it! They won't get
away!
Get in the passenger seat and Paulie will hand you a Thompson.
Paulie: Take my Thompson. You and Sam shoot them!
Equip the Thompson and aim out the window towards Morello's plane. Once you're
within range, try to hit the propellers on either side. As you do more and more
damage to the propeller engine compartment, you'll see sparks (and later fire)
emit from it. Also, that red bar will begin to decrease. If you're hitting the
propeller, but the bar isn't going down anymore, start shooting at the
propeller on the other side. As the plane begins to rise off the ground, keep
firing, and make sure that the red bar (the plane's "life") is completely
empty. Just as the plane pulls away, a cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy and Sam continue to shoot, and the plane catches fire. Nevertheless
it takes off. Tommy, Paulie and Sam get out of the car.)
Paulie: Sam shoot!
Sam: Bastards!
(Sam fires after the plane but it is beyond their range now.)
Paulie: Kill 'em, Sam!
Tommy: Damn it, Paulie.
(Suddenly, the plane crashes into the woods near the airport and explodes.)
Tommy: Wow!
Paulie: Yes!
(They start walking back towards the car.)
Tommy: How did you fix the car?
Paulie: Better ask Sam.
Tommy: Why ain't you a mechanic, Sam?
Sam: That work's too dirty for me.
[End of cinematic]
Now skip down a bit and read the next part of the walkthrough.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTINUATION WALKTHROUGH - Follow this guide if Morello continues straight.
Read the "Airport Walkthrough" above if he doesn't.
If Morello continues straight instead of turning left into the airport, simply
keep following him. The road will head farther and farther upwards through a
series of switchbacks. Just make sure that you keep close behind Morello. His
Silver Fletcher has little trouble speeding through this area, and if your car
is slow, you can easily fall behind. If you're really having trouble, you can
try to cut over the large grassy area where the road goes left and then right,
shortly after the Clark Motel (see horrible ASCII below):
***

***
***|| * = Road
*** ||
*** || /\
*** || || = Shortcut
*** ||
*** ||
*** ___
*** |_| = Clark Motel
***
***
*** ___
*** |_|
***
Anyway, just keep following him higher and higher through the countryside.
Eventually, he'll reach a bridge that's still under construction, and a
cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Morello: Brake! Hit the brake!
(Morello's driver stops at the last moment, leaving the car in a precarious
position just at the edge of the bridge, unable to move. Seconds later
Tommy, Paulie and Sam arrive in their own car. They stop for a moment and
then press their car against Morello's, sending it down the bridge.
Morello's car falls a long way and is smashed upside down. Tommy, Paulie
and Sam get out of their car to look down.)
Sam: You think he's dead?
Tommy: Well, I guess so, yeah.
(Morello's car explodes.)
Sam: Oh, Christ!
Paulie: Well, he's definitely dead now.
Tommy: Let's go.
Sam: Okay, let's go.
[End of cinematic]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of which path Morello took, you'll end up with the same basic
outcome and a new objective.
New Objective (C): Return to the Salieri Bar, alternatively, you could visit
Lucas Bertone on the way.
As you near the outskirts of the city, your game will be saved.
Game Saved: 16-05 Creme De La Creme - Back To The Bar
Unlike the normal routine here, return to the bar, even if you're going to
attempt the Lucas Bertone side-mission. This is because you still have Sam and
Paulie in the car, and they need to be dropped off. If you go to Lucas' anyway,
Paulie will make a remark.
Paulie: Hey Tom. I'm pretty beat. Drop us at the front of the bar and come
back later.
Therefore, you have to go to the Salieri Bar regardless of your plans for the
rest of the mission. After stopping out front or in the back lot to let them
out, head downtown towards Lucas' shop.
[Cinematic]
Lucas: Hey, Tommy!
Tommy: Hey. You got anything for me today?
Lucas: Well, today was a little rough...
Tommy: How come?
Lucas: Ah, you know, the guys left a car here that was involved in a chase
with the cops and I kinda need to get it out of here fast.
Tommy: Why didn't they dump it themselves?
Lucas: Oh, well, we had a deal worked out with them, it was meant to be a
sure thing, and it didn't work out. They were a little pissed, so they left
it here.
Tommy: What's in it for me?
Lucas: A lovely German sports car.
Tommy: That's worth a risk. I'll do it. What can I do?
(Next, Tommy and Lucas are in the backyard next to the car.)
Lucas: It's pretty simple. Take the car to the cliffs outside of town and
dump it in the sea.
Tommy: Cool.
Lucas: But if the coppers spot you, there'll be trouble. So you gotta shake
them.
Tommy: Okay.
[End of cinematic]
After Lucas explains all this to you, you'll be in the back part of his shop,
your game will be saved, and you'll have a new objective.
Game Saved: 16-06 Creme De La Creme - Lucas Bertone
New Objective (D): Take the car that's wanted by the Police to the cliffs near
the lighthouse and dump it into the sea.
Here in the back lot, you should see a Crusader Chromium Tudor. Get in and
slowly follow Lucas. Wait until he opens the gate leading out of the back lot,
then drive out. You will notice that you already have a warrant for your
arrest. In this special circumstance, even if you evade the police, the warrant
will keep coming back. The only way to take care of this is to get rid of the
car altogether.
Drive east out to the Saint Paul Coast (south of Oak Hill). Be careful; if the
car is destroyed, you fail the sub-quest. Along the way, you will have to face
numerous police officers and patrol cars. When you reach the series of
switchbacks that lead to Oak Hill, instead of going up them, turn right. Follow
the dirt road down to the lighthouse.
Now before you do anything, make sure that you have no cops chasing you. If you
still have a squad car or two on your tail, try luring them into driving off
the cliff. Anyway, when there's no one bothering you, slowly roll the car up to
the edge of the cliff. Use the brake profusely here, as falling off the cliff
results in a mission failure (well, death actually). Try to park the car on an
incline so that if you weren't holding the brake, it would drop off the cliff.
But, and this is very important, DON'T DRIVE IT OFF THE CLIFF.
When you're as far off the edge as you can be without falling off yourself,
hold down the brake and shift the car into neutral (you'll have to
switch to manual if you normally drive automatic). While still holding the
brake, get out of the car. If you did everything correctly, the car should
slowly roll off the cliff. As it slams into the waters below, your objective
will be complete. Now if you absolutely got the car stuck, and couldn't get it
off the cliff or back on the road, all hope is not lost. Just go and hijack a
car from the road nearby. Drive this car back down to the lighthouse and use it
to (lightly) ram the Crusader until it falls off the cliff.
New Objective (E): Return to Lucas
Once the incriminating vehicle rests safely beneath the waves, walk up the dirt
path back to the main road. Run out in front of a passing car (make sure not to
get hit) and make the car stop. Then circle around and hijack it. After that,
just drive back to Lucas' shop. Once ther, go inside and talk to Lucas.
Tommy: Okay, where's the car?
Lucas: That guy came in for it a while ago and drove off, but he said he
was going for dinner at Roy's Grill. It's Downtown, it's just a little way
from Pepe's restaurant. If you hurry, you'll still find the car there.
Tommy: What's goin' on, today's customer appreciation day?
Lucas: This one's an exception, he owes me big time. I did a bunch of jobs
for him and I haven't seen dollar one. God knows what he does, but at the
same time he acts like a classy guy. This way he pays his debts and I pay
my debt to you. You'd better get going.
Tommy: Right, thanks.
Game Saved: 16-07 Creme De La Creme - Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (F): Steal the Celeste Marque 500 parked in front of Roy's Grill
Restaurant
Head back out into the city and drive north into New Ark. Follow your
map/compass to the restaurant, where you should see the very stylish car parked
out front. However, you will notice that no one is conspicuously pacing around
the vehicle. You have three options here:
1. Go up to the car and start picking the lock. Almost immediately, the owner
will rush out of Roy's Grill and call for police assistance. The owner has a
Colt 1911, and the nearby officer has a S&W Model 10 M&P. Dispatch them
both, finish picking the lock, and drive away.
2. Stand near the Celeste, but don't try to pick the lock. Eventually, the
owner will come out of the restaurant and go towards his car. Wait until
he's just entered, then pump him full of lead through the driver's-side
window.
3. Don't even get out of your car; just stay in the parking lot. When the owner
comes out and gets in the Celeste, follow him. Continue tailing him as he
drives all the way to southern Oakwood. Wait for him to park outside his
house and walk away. Then get out and steal the car without any
interference.
Whatever action you take, the end result will leave you with a new car and a
new objective.
New Objective (G): Return to Salieri's
You know the drill. Just drive back to Salieri's to end the mission. On a side
note, assuming you've been doing most of the Lucas Bertone missions, your
garage should be filling up pretty quickly. If it's completely full, at the end
of the mission a screen will pop up asking you which car(s) you want to get rid
of to make room for your new ones. Unless you're keeping them for a stylistic
or sentimental reason, there's generally no need to hold on to the basic "early
'30s" cars (e.g. Bolts, Schuberts, etc.).

[Cinematic]
1938
(Tommy and Norman are talking in the cafe.)
Norman: So you killed Morello! That must have felt good, huh?
Tommy: We celebrated. Salieri was thrilled, of course. We ran the whole
town, practically, and there seemed to be an end to the bloodshed. For a
while I felt like a king, until I came to a realization. If a regular guy
like me could kill the most powerful man in the city, what good was all his
power? Hell, if he hadn't been so powerful, he'd probably still be alive.
It seemed to me that no matter how strong someone was, there was always
somebody stronger to take them out.
Norman: So where did that intuitive thought take you?
Tommy: Greediness is bullshit. When you have no money, you think that a few
bucks a month would be enough. Then you realize, that it wouldn't be bad to
have a nice car. You get a great job in some higher position, but in
actuality you are thinking about going higher. Before you know it, you
wanna be the President of the United States and you wanna win the war
against the Germans. Luckily, that won't happen.
Tommy: Plus, the whole strategy of watching other people's backs has one
basic flaw: The whole time you have to watch your own back in case someone
else has the same idea. So I thought to myself that maybe I oughtta change
my priorities a little.
Norman: Great bible story, ha ha.
Tommy: Laugh it up. You know where it got me in the end.
(Tommy puts a photo on the table. It shows Salieri and Morello, both
younger, with another, older man in the middle.)
Tommy: This...
(Norman takes it and looks at it.)
Norman: Who is it?
Tommy: It's from 1920. The old man is Don Peppone. The two younger ones are
Salieri and Morello. This photo convinced me that this kind of life is
poisonous. Morello and Salieri were friends and they were both commanders
of Peppone's regime. But in the 1920s, they got Don Peppone killed because
of some deal. Strangely enough, Salieri still admires the guy now.
Tommy: Afterward they divided up the city and each ruled their own part of
it, but they started to compete with each other. I ended up being Salieri's
instrument of death to kill his best friend, to save him from looking
Morello in the eye. It occurred to me that my friends and the people I loved
were the same. Some day I'd turn to Paulie and be looking straight down the
barrel of a gun. I couldn't be sure of anybody, above or below me.
Norman: But you were risking your life everyday. Being a sharpshooter for
the mafia ain't no bed of roses, the way you tell it.
Tommy: It's different when you're living it, when you're full of energy and
you're fighting for your life with someone who's like your brother. You're
just two soldiers who know what needs to be done, and it all depends on
your ability to survive. It's a war. The constant feeling that you can't
even trust your best friend is terrible. You are alone and death can come
from anywhere. I'd lie awake at night wondering if the joke my best friend
told me was really just a joke, or if I should get prepared for my own
execution. A person needs someone he can trust.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
1938
(Tommy and Salieri are in the backroom of the bar. Salieri is looking at a
newspaper.)
Salieri: That guy sickens me. He controls half of the brothels in the city,
doesn't pay us a dime, and then has the nerve to say he's ending crime in
the city. Of course, I wouldn't give a damn about what he says, but him and
his whores are trying to expand even into our territory. I have a feeling
it's time to finish his political career. With the elections such a long
way off... we'll have to remove him physically.
Tommy: I don't know, boss. Haven't we seen enough violence for a while? I
just have a strange feeling about this.
Salieri: Tommy, we are on the verge of running this town, he's the only
thing that's standing in our way.
Tommy: You want him knocked off in public like Morello?
Salieri: In public yes, but not like Morello. Remember that knocking off a
politician is messier than offing a gangster. We don't want anyone to
implicate us. The speculation and fear will be enough for our purposes.
Tommy: So? How are we gonna do it?
Salieri: Mr. Sewer has a rally today in a park on a little isle off Central
Island. There is only one escape route over a small bridge and normally it
would be a problem, but Vincenzo has an idea. He took a regular army rifle
and put a telescopic sight on it, so you should be able to hit him from a
much greater distance. You won't even have to be on the island!
Tommy: Where then?
Salieri: You can get a beautiful view of him from Central Island, from the
tower of the old abandoned prison on the north tip of the island. You'll
have the whole park right in front of you, and with that rifle it won't be
difficult to take out your target without attracting too much attention.
Tommy: That doesn't sound like a bad plan.
Salieri: Good. Talk to Vincenzo, and get the rifle.
Tommy: Okay, boss.
Salieri: And remember Tommy, you have to do it from a distance, and nobody
must see you. You'll probably only get one shot at this. If you don't hit
him immediately, they'll cover him and the job will be ruined.
Tommy: I got it, boss.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic, your game will be saved and you'll have a new
objective.
Game Saved: 17-01 Election Campaign - Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Assassinate the politician from the tower on top of the Old
Prison.
Head out of the briefing room and go pay a visit to Vincenzo.
Tommy: Hey! You got some heavy duty gear for me, Vincenzo?
Vincenzo: You'll need to pick this guy off at a distance, right? So I dug
out the best weapon for you. The military trains by mounting a sight on
this standard rifle, similar to a hunting rifle.
(Vincenzo puts the rifle on the table.)
Vincenzo: I got hold of a Mosin Nagant rifle. It's produced here but the
Russians upgraded it to a marksman's rifle. It's a good, precise weapon.
Tommy: It looks interesting. Well, I hope it works.
(Vincenzo also puts a Colt 1911 pistol on the table.)
Vincenzo: Well, Tom, take a decent handgun too. You never know who you
might bump into.
Tommy: Ain't that the truth, thanks.
While this rifle won't be all that useful in close-quarters combat, it is
absolutely necessary if you're to successfully assassinate your target. After
picking up these weapons, head back down into the car lot and see Ralph. He'll
provide you with a Wright Coupe, but as usual, feel free to take a different
car if you prefer.
Ralph: Hey, Tom. I have this for you. It's a sensible, spacious and solid
car.
(He shows him a Wright Coupe car.)
Ralph: I think you'll like it. Yeah, and you can get into it real easy.
Tommy: Thanks, Ralphy.
Now head out into the city.
Game Saved: 17-02 Election Campaign - City
Your destination is the old prison, which is located at the north end of
Central Island. It's actually quite close to Salieri's, and you should have no
trouble getting there. Once you arrive, park your car and head towards the
destination marked on your compass. You should be heading off the street, into
a small parking lot. You should also see some construction equipment and a man
standing around. If you talk to him, he'll tell you to leave. However, you need
to get down that manhole. Depending on how you deal with the worker, you will
face different scenarios later on in the mission. For more information, take a
look farther down in the walkthrough or in the "Easter Eggs" section of this
guide.
For simply getting through the mission, the best option is to kill the man.
After doing so, "use" his body, and Tommy will drag it over and drop it down
the manhole. This will cover your tracks so that you don't have to deal with
certain problems later on in the mission. Of course, if you'd prefer, you can
ignore the man, or kill him and leave his body in plain sight. Whatever you
choose, head down the manhole ("use" it). Next, walk across the tunnel and
climb up the other ladder.
Game Saved: 17-03 Election Campaign - Old Prison
You'll now find yourself in the old prison. Because of the way the level is
designed, there's only one place from which you can actually execute your
assassination (all puns intended). To reach this location, you'll have to make
your way through most of the prison facility. Unfortunately for you, while the
prison is decommissioned, it is not abandoned. In fact, a fair number of
enemies are currently stationed there. It's rather unclear whether they are
supposed to be gangsters in control of the area or just well-armed vagrants.
Either way, you won't be able to go about your mission unhindered.
A note about your rifle: It is possible to use your rifle during the normal
enemy encounters throughout this mission. Since you only need one bullet to
kill your target (two to be safe), you have eight other rounds that you might
as well use. So if you get in a firefight where you think the rifle might help
out, feel free to use it. Just make sure you keep at least one bullet for Mr.
Sewer.
After exiting the manhole, head down the walkway, away from the dogs, and take
a left. Go through the metal door at the end of this path and you'll be inside
the prison building. Go into the main room and head left through the barred
door. A few of the cell doors are open in this area, so you can enter if you
like, but there isn't anything of interest in them. Make your way across this
room, through the door at the other end, and up the staircase. If you haven't
done so already, you should draw a weapon and get ready for some combat.
On the next floor, you will have to engage and kill four gangsters. One should
be walking right in front of you. The other three are sitting by a flaming
barrel. For reference, three of the enemies have magnums and one has a knife.
After dispatching them, collect all their weapons and head through the area.
Continue outside onto the wooden walkway and head up the stairs. Take a left
into the small room and you should hear more gangsters preparing to ambush you.
"Use" the door, and Tommy will kick it open, knocking down the shotgun-wielding
enemy standing right on the other side. Quickly finish him off before he gets
to his feet, then duck back inside the room. In the next area, there are four
more gangsters. Two have magnums and two have Colt Detective Specials. After
taking them out, collect everyone's guns and continue through the area. Be
careful, as an enemy will come out of one of the cells behind you. However, his
baseball bat should be no match for any of your weapons. Once he goes down,
another shotgun-wielding enemy should come running down the hall towards you.
Take him out however you see fit.
Continue down the hall and through the doorway. In the next area, you can see
outside through a large hole in the wall, but unfortunately it doesn't face
your target. There's also a health kit here (with the cover broken off).
If you've lost more than 50 health, you might as well use it. If not, you can
return later. Next, head down the hallway nearby. Don't worry about the cells
on your right; no one will jump out at you. In the next area, there should be
another enemy with a Colt Detective Special. This time, you have the drop on
him. Use that to your advantage and take him out.
Move around the corner and towards the stairwell. Be cautious, however, as
three enemies are crouched on these stairs (two with Colt Detective Specials,
one with a Colt 1911), waiting to ambush you. Use the most of your third-person
perspective to draw a bead and fire on these guys as quickly as possible. As
you climb the stairs, you should hear a shotgun blast and see a man come
crashing down to the ground floor. His assailant is nearby, so carefully edge
up the stairs and try to get a clear shot at him. Continue up, making sure not
to fall in the area where the man broke through the guardrail. At the top,
head through the door, and your game should be saved.
Game Saved: 17-04 Election Campaign - Prison Tower
Finally, you're in position to assassinate your target. Take out your rifle and
edge along the walkway to the right so that you can fire from a crouched
position. Use the scope and look out towards the island right in front of you.
Mr. Sewer is the politician standing at the podium. Even with your scope, the
target is quite far away, and your aim is hardly stable. Still, do your best to
line up the shot, then fire at his head. If you miss, or if your shot only
wounds him, he will quickly be escorted to his car by bodyguards, and you
may not be able to finish the job. In this case, either try to get another shot
off, or just reload the save until you can successfully take him down with a
single bullet.
New Objective (B): Return to Salieri's
Don't be too tempted by this new objective just yet. Instead, stay on the
walkway and close the door so that you can keep going to the left. Head out
until the path ends, then quickly run back a few feet, as part of the
walkway will collapse. From here, you should have a good view of the recreation
area, and the four guard dogs patrolling there. In order to get back to
Salieri's, you're going to have to leave through that courtyard, and those dogs
are NOT friendly. Since you should only have used one or two bullets to
assassinate your target, you probably have plenty of rounds left to take out
the dogs in the area below. After doing so, go back the way you came until you
reach the large stairwell.
Head all the way down the stairs. If you didn't get the health kit before, you
might as well now, since you won't be coming back here again. Return to the
stairs and continue all the way down to the ground floor. This opens up into
the courtyard where all the dogs were before. Normal weapons can be used to
take out any dogs that you missed earlier. If you didn't kill any, you can
actually attempt to just run through this part, but you may take some extra
damage. Head to the opposite end of this area, shoot the lock off the door,
and head through.
Game Saved: 17-05 Election Campaign - Return To The Bar
New Objective (C): Return to the Salieri Bar. Alternatively, you could visit
Lucas Bertone on the way.
After you exit the prison compound, the scene you face is going to be
different, depending on what you did to the worker standing by the manhole
earlier in the mission. If you killed him and left the body where it was, you
will have four cops to deal with. A Lassiter V16 Charon (Hearse) will also show
up. If you just injured him, only two cops will show up, but he'll be ratting
you out to them. However, if you drop your guns before exiting the prison,
they'll let you go, and won't attack you. Finally, if you killed him and hid
the body, no police will be there to interfere with your plans.
As usual, I will provide a walkthrough for the Lucas Bertone side-mission. If
you're not interested in it, just head back to the Salieri Bar. Otherwise, make
your way over to Bertone's Auto Shop. Lucas will tell you to head to the Works
Quarter to pick up a friend of his before the cops do.
Lucas: Hello there. How are you today?
Tommy: I just got outta jail.
Lucas: Real cute, but there ain't time for that now, Tommy! I need you to
pick up a guy in the Works Quarter, but quick! The cops are after him and
he doesn't even know about it.
Tommy: Where?
Lucas: You won't see anyone else walking around in a suit there, so you
certainly won't miss him. But you gotta hurry, before the cops get there,
or he's finished! Bring him here.
Tommy: Okay, I'm on my way. But I wasn't kidding about being in jail.
Naturally, your game will be saved and you'll have a new objective.
Game Saved: 17-06 Election Campaign - Lucas Bertone
New Objective (D): Find Lucas's friend in the Works Quarter before the Police
do and get him back to Lucas's.
Even though you aren't given very much time for this mission, your destination
is rather far away. So get over there as quickly as possible. You should see
a man in a suit standing next to the front steps of a building. Get close to
him (you don't even need to get out of the car) and Tommy will tell him what's
going on. Let him into the passenger seat, then leave.
Tommy: Luca sent me. The cops are after you, I gotta take you to safety.
Man: Shit, how did they find me?
(The man gets in the car.)
Tommy: And now let's go back to Lucas'.
New Objective (E): Return to Lucas's with his friend.
The objective is pretty self explanatory. Just head back to Lucas'. Note that
if you cut your deadline (timer) very close, you may see the cops actually
arrive on the scene. In this case, you will have to evade or kill them.
Otherwise, your drive back should be completely peaceful. Talk to Lucas and
he'll tell you what to do next.
Man: What happened, Lucas?
Lucas: They figured out it was you, they know where you are and I got wind
that they'd be coming for your ass today.
Man: Thank God it worked out that way. I could be sitting on ice.
Lucas: No no, thank Tom here. He stuck his neck out.
Man: Thanks, bud, I'll remember it.
Tommy: Glad to be of help.
Lucas: Okay, sit down a while, me and Tom need to work something out.
Man: Okay.
(The man leaves them and goes to sit on a chair.)
Lucas: Tommy, I have got something nice for you. Sixteen-cylinder with
custom bodywork. A collector's piece.
Tommy: And where will I find it?
Lucas: Some playboy in Oak Hill's having a party today. There'll be loads
of guests and one of them has got exactly the car you're looking for. You
open it the same as a regular V16, but otherwise it's more of a work of art
than a car. You'll know the place, and there'll be a lot of pricey cars
parked there.
Tommy: Great, thanks for the tip.
Game Saved: 17-07 Election Campaign - Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (F): Steal the Lassiter V16 Appolyon parked near the villa in Oak
Hill.
As usual, use the health kit before you head out, then make your way up to Oak
Hill. After a lengthy and/or steep drive, park somewhere near your target car.
Walk towards it, and you should see two men admiring this rare vehicle. To
avoid a spectacle and unnecessary bloodshed, talk to them, and Tommy will ask
them to leave. Now you should be able to pick the car's lock unhindered. There
are two guards standing in front of the gate nearby, but they shouldn't be able
to see you as long as the other guys don't tip them off. If they do, you will
have to have a little firefight. Either way, pick the lock and drive off.
New Objective (G): Return to Salieri's.
Just make your way back to the bar. As mentioned earlier, your garage will
probably be filling up about this time, so you may need to remove some older or
less desirable cars to make room for your new ones.

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy, Salieri, Paulie and Sam are sitting in the backroom of the bar.)
Salieri: Today's job is just for relaxation, boys. There's an import firm
that brings in lots of luxury goods from around the world. Yesterday
another boatload of goods came into the harbor and I have a taste for a few
of the items on the list.
Sam: What do they got that we don't have, sir?
Salieri: Well, I haven't smoked a decent cigar in a long time, and they
have almost a ton of them.
Tommy: Cigars?
Salieri: Yes, cigars. Something strange about that? Customers in our
nightclubs are interested in good, quality cigars, but they're expensive
and difficult to get. If we manage to get a truck full of the best cigars,
we can make as much money as we would off a bank job.
Sam: What?
Salieri: Oh my God. Just bring me a truckload. Paulie, explain it to them.
(Salieri gets up and leaves the room.)
Paulie: Okay, it's like this...
Tommy: Paulie, what the hell is goin' on?
Paulie: How the hell would I know, Tommy? We have to just nab a truck full
of expensive cigars! The Don wants them and it makes us money, so it's up
to us to get them.
Tommy: It just seems a bit smalltime for him.
Sam: Forget about it, Tom.
Paulie: The cigars we gotta steal are packed in crates at the harbor. We
need to get them to a truck and then leave the harbor. But first we have to
get in.
Tommy: How do we do that? There's a tougher guard at the harbor now than
when Morello was around.
Paulie: Exactly. Brute force won't work, so we're gonna play this one cool.
We'll just nab one of the trucks while they're moving goods around the
city. The trucks have signs on them that say "Atlantic Import". We'll wait
for one to come out of the harbor, follow it to a nice quiet place with no
cops, then block its path. A few shots into the air ought to get the driver
out. Once we take his papers, one of us can get into the harbor.
Tommy: So we're gonna kill the poor bastard?
Sam: No, it's too much hassle. So long as we get him out, get everything
he's got on him.
Paulie: You'll take the truck to the harbor, Tommy. Load it up with the
crates of cigars and then we'll meet at the agreed place.
Tommy: I'll load them up alone, unload them alone, and then maybe I'll
smoke a few. So what are you gonna do?
Paulie: We'll wait a little way from the harbor at the agreed place. If
somebody starts tailing you, we'll deal with them. Then you take the truck
to the hand-off point.
Tommy: Yeah, right. How will I recognize these crates?
Paulie: They'll have signs on them saying "Scorsese Import Export".
Tommy: And the agreed place?
Sam: We'll go there and I'll show you.
Paulie: Yeah. First we'll go there and then we'll get the truck.
Tommy: So, let's go.
[End of cinematic]
As usual, you'll leave the opening cinematic with a saved game and a new
objective.
Game Saved: 18-01 Just For Relaxation - Salieri Bar
New Objective (A): Go to see Vincenzo and get a weapon. Talk to Ralph. Drive to
the agreed meeting place in the Works Quarter.
Go out into the back lot of the bar where you'll see a man talking to Ralph.
After a few brief words, the man will get into the Lassiter V16 Charon (Hearse)
parked in the driveway and leave. You can talk to Ralph now, but you might as
well pay Vincenzo a visit first. He'll give you a baseball bat and a Colt 1911
(and Thompsons for Paulie and Sam).
Vincenzo: Hey boys, so what will it be?
Paulie: Get Tom here a bat and a gun and get us two Thompsons.
Vincenzo: Okay.
(Vincenzo puts the Thompsons on the table. Paulie and Sam take them.)
Paulie: Yeah, thanks.
(Vincenzo then produces the baseball bat and the Colt 1911 pistol for
Tommy.)
Tommy: Thanks, Vincenzo.
Now head back down into the lot.
Talk with Ralph, and he'll show you how to lift a Lassiter V16 Fordor.
Ralph: H-H-Hey there, boys! I have something here for you. Something
special today.
(He shows them a Lassiter V16 Fordor.)
Paulie: Yeah, I like it. It looks pretty good.
Ralph: You can g-g-get into it this way.
Tommy: Yeah, okay, we can do that. Thanks, Ralphy.
Ralph: I-It's nothing.
Get in the car and drive out of the lot into the city. It should come as no
surprise that your game will be saved again.
Game Saved: 18-02 Just For Relaxation - City
Paulie: Alright, we'll go into a place in the Works Quarter to drop Sam
off.
Your objective will now read simply "Drive to the agreed meeting place in the
Works Quarter." Well...do what it says. Follow your map/compass to the meeting
place, then head through the narrow alleyway. Once Sam gets out of the car,
another cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: Since we're all here, I wanna ask you both something.
Sam: What's on your mind?
Paulie: Well, I got this idea, I might need you to do a little job with me.
Tommy: Oh, yeah? What's the deal?
Paulie: Well, it's a big deal actually. I can't manage it alone and you're
my good buddies, we know each other... You know...
Sam: And Salieri? He know about this?
Paulie: Nah, he doesn't and he doesn't need to know. He's already got
enough money.
Tommy: So, what's it all about?
Paulie: Well, I was checking out this bank...
Tommy and Sam (in unison): What?!
Paulie: Cool it, it's okay! This bank isn't too secure, it's just a little
joint. At the end of the month they always have a big pile of money in the
safe. We'd be pretty loaded if we pulled it off.
Tommy: Or we'd all be dead! What's the matter with you? Besides, we've got
plenty of money.
Paulie: Bull! We ain't doin' bad, but we sure aren't loaded! Salieri ain't
a bad boss, but once in a while I'd like to make some decent dough on the
side, not some tiny share.
Tommy: I'm not sure it's such a great plan, Paulie.
Paulie: What do you say, Sam?
Sam: Count me out. The family's pretty important to me.
Paulie: Yeah, right. You're probably right, forget about it, I was just
thinking out loud.
Tommy: Okay, good.
Sam: Okay, I think it's time. I'll go get ready.
Paulie: I'll be back in a while. Tom, let's get to the harbor.
[End of cinematic]
New Objective (B): Wait for the truck that's leaving Lost Heaven Port.
Let Paulie get back in the car, then head to your new destination: Lost Heaven
Port (the harbor). The alleyway goes all the way through, so you can continue
following it if you'd like. Once you get near the harbor, your game will be
saved again and you'll be given a new objective.
Paulie: Now, we'll wait here for a truck and then follow it. We'll overtake
it in a safe spot and take what we need.
Game Saved: 18-03 Just For Relaxation - Transport Required
New Objective (C): Steal the truck.
Like Paulie says, wait for a truck to come out of the harbor. Just drive slowly
in a circle around the parking lot and then follow the truck as it goes out the
driveway. Do not attempt to enter the harbor yourself. Note that although it's
rare, the truck occasionally just doesn't come out of the harbor at all (game
bug). If this happens, simply reload the previous save.
Once you're out into the Works Quarter, you need to steal the truck. You can
attempt to hijack the vehicle and attack the driver until he gives you the
papers, but this doesn't always work. The way you are intended to play is to
follow the truck to the warehouse where it unloads its goods. Park in the
alleyway nearby so that your car blocks the way out. Once the men have finished
unloading, the driver will come out and drive towards you. When he stops (since
you're in his way), pull him out of the car.
New Objective (D): Steal the driver's documents.
Start hitting the driver until he surrenders his papers. It's that easy...in
theory. In reality, however, he usually tries to run away, and will alert the
(armed) guards around the warehouse. Although Paulie doesn't approve, killing
him may be the best option. Either way, collect his papers. At this point,
Paulie will leave to go wait at the meeting place.
New Objective (E): Drive the truck back to the Port and steal all of the
"Scorsese import" boxes.
Follow your objective and head back to the harbor. Pull inside the gate and a
guard will come to inspect your papers. After he lets you through, your game
will be saved and you will have essentially the same objective, just
abbreviated.
Game Saved: 18-04 Just For Relaxation - The Harbor
New Objective (F): Steal all "Scorsese import" boxes.
Drive straight ahead down the main path through the harbor. Make sure not to
hit anyone, or you will probably get shot to pieces. In fact, during this
entire segment, do NOT draw a weapon. The guards are even more numerous and
well-armed than when you were here in "You Lucky Bastard!" and you won't stand
a chance if you try to take them on. Keep going until you see the loading dock
and an open warehouse door on your left. Park here so that the back of your
truck faces the platform with the man standing on it.
Approach the man, and he will tell you to move a set of crates (not the ones
you want) to the dispatch hall.
Chief: Where are you going? Why are you standing around doing nothing? We
need all hands on deck today! I need you to take those crates down to the
Dispatch Hall. I'm gonna go take a leak and it'd better be done when I get
back!
Tommy: Er... Yes, chief.
Note: I've read some guides suggesting that you attempt to load the Scorsese
crates into your truck at this point. However, I've never been able to finish
before the chief returns and call the guards on you. You're welcome to start
(load half the boxes, for example), just don't let the guy see you. Anyway,
you're better off just following his instructions and making your way down to
the crates he pointed out to you. Talk to the workers nearby, and they'll help
you move them.
Tommy: Hey, fellas.
Worker: What can I do for you, buddy?
Tommy: Boys, we need to carry those crates down to the Dispatch Hall.
Worker: Alright then. Okay, let's go, boys.
Press action to pick up a crate, walk it over into the dispatch hall, then
press action again to put it down on the pallet. Once all the crates are
loaded, the man will come to yell at you for being too rough.
Chief: Fine. But you threw them here like trash!
At this point, you can explore the harbor, if you wish. There is a health kit
in the building at the far end. You may want to use it if you got injured
earlier in the mission. However, you've probably already seen as much of the
harbor as you care to. Return to the Scorsese boxes and talk to the man there
again. Tommy will make up a story to keep the guy busy.
Tommy: Chief, the boys at the train there need you. They're having some
problems.
Chief: I should've known. As soon as I turn my back everybody immediately
goofs off.
Now you can load the crates. Pick them up and take them over to the back of the
truck. It works the same way as with the other crates earlier. You don't have
to be lightning fast, but as long as you don't screw around, you should finish
long before the man returns.
New Objective (G): Drive the truck back to the agreed meeting place in the
Works Quarter.
Now get back in the truck and head towards the harbor exit.
Game Saved: 18-05 Just For Relaxation - The Trap
As soon as the game loads, floor the accelerator. The guard will catch on
pretty quickly, so if you stay and wait, all the guys will open fire at you
anyway. As you leave the harbor, two enemy vehicles will start to tail you.
Don't bother trying to shake them off. Just head towards the meeting spot. You
do have a damage meter (i.e. if you take too much damage, you fail), but the
truck is heavy enough to hold its own, so you shouldn't have too much trouble
getting to your destination. Once you arrive, Paulie and Sam will be waiting to
ambush the gangsters following you. Join in the fight and keep shooting until
all the enemies are dead. Feel free to use the shotgun propped up against a
nearby wall if you need some extra firepower.
New Objective (H): Drive the truck to Salieri's warehouse.
Get back in the truck and follow your map/compass to Salieri's warehouse. You
shouldn't have any more hostiles chasing after you now, so feel free to drive
casually and take a breather.
Tommy: Today was just great. While you two messed around, I carried at
least a ton of crates surrounded by guys with guns.
Paulie: Somebody had to do it and you're the youngest. Sam always has the
bright ideas.
Tommy: Oh, so it's SAM! Next time, you can unload that truck, I ain't
touching another crate.
Paulie: Well, we'll see about that.
Remember that your destination is Salieri's Warehouse, not the Salieri Bar, so
your trip may be a little longer than usual.
[Cinematic]
Paulie: Perfect! We did it!
Tommy: Good. Now we'll finally see what's inside these crates.
Paulie: Good idea, I hope it didn't get damaged on the way.
(They get out and walk to the back of the truck as Tommy lights a
cigarette. Paulie opens the back of the truck and gets on to check the
crates.)
Paulie: A few of them fell off and the cigars are smashed up.
(The camera just shows Tommy as he smokes his cigarette while Paulie
rummages through the crates.)
Paulie: Well, it ain't so bad. This one's just bent, so we'll straighten it
out... Damn! I messed that up!
Tommy: What the hell are you doing?
Paulie: What? I dropped a few things, nothing big... Hey box, what you got
inside?
Paulie: Christ! Tom, you ain't gonna believe this!
Tommy: What is it, what's inside those boxes?
(Paulie opens one of the boxes from the crates and shows it to Tommy.)
Tommy: Damn, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Paulie: Well, they don't look like cigars.
(Tommy takes a diamond from the box and lifts it up. Apparently the boxes
all carry diamonds.)
Tommy: And it's definitely not rock candy.
Paulie: Those are diamonds, and a hell of a lot of them.
Tommy: What if they're just phonies? You know, they exchange cigars for
mirrors, props, beads, stuff like that?
Paulie: I think only Columbus got away with that. These look like diamonds,
Tom. And there's a hell of a lot of them.
Tommy: I knew Salieri wouldn't risk so much for some damned cigars.
Paulie: Well, it looks like you were right. What do you wanna do? Should we
take them?
Tommy: What? You think we'd get away with it?
Paulie: Well, we could say that some crates got lost in the chase... or...
Tommy: You can forget that! That's bullshit!
(Tommy gives the box back to Paulie.)
Tommy: Put them back where you found them! I don't wanna end up with a hole
in my head!
Paulie: What if we just took one or two each? There's so many.
Tommy: Paulie!
Paulie: Okay, okay, I'll put them back...
(Paulie puts the box back into the crate.)
Paulie: But what if Salieri doesn't even know about them?
Tommy: I think we can easily find out if he knows.
Paulie: How?
(Tommy looks and sees their car approaching the warehouse.)
Tommy: Sam's bringing him here right now. Come, we'll see firsthand if he
knows.
(Paulie gets off the back of the truck. Next, Salieri is seen next to the
truck.)
Salieri: Bravo, boys! You did it. You've got a well-deserved bonus coming
your way.
(Salieri looks at the crates.)
Salieri: Ah, one crate got broke, but it's nothing. It looks like these
ones at the back are okay. Bravo, bravo.
Tommy: Boss, should we unload the crates and put the cigars into the
warehouse?
Salieri: Eh... no no, not yet. Anyway, why should you do it? I can get
someone else. You want to work in my warehouse, too? Ha ha... Now go take
it real easy, boys. Good work.
(Tommy and Paulie stop for a moment before entering the car in order to
leave.)
Tommy: Paulie? I'll stop by tomorrow and we can talk about that little deal
you mentioned.
Paulie: Okay.
(They get in the car and Sam drives off.)

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy is walking on the street.)
Tommy: (narrating) The next day I went to Paulie's like we arranged.
(Next, Tommy is seen sitting at a table in Paulie's flat. Paulie gives him
a glass of drink.)
Paulie: So what, Tom? What's with the sudden change of heart? I didn't
think you wanted to do it.
(He goes into the kitchen.)
Tommy: That was when I still thought that Salieri wasn't using us. Now I
know that he is.
Paulie: Well, you're certainly right there. So, would you do the bank?
Tommy: What about Sam?
Paulie: Hey, you heard him. He's worried about what might happen and the
Don coming after us. So, if you wanna do it, it's just you and me. What do
you have to say?
(He comes to the table from the kitchen and puts some ice in their drinks.)
Tommy: First I'd like to see this bank, then I'll listen to your plan.
Paulie: Fine. We can go and look at it right now.
Tommy: Okay, let's go.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic, you'll find yourself in Paulie's apartment. By
this point, it should come as no surprise that your game will be saved and that
you'll have a new objective.
Game Saved: 19-01 Moonlighting - Paulie's Flat
New Objective (A): Follow Paulie to the Bank and listen to his plan.
Follow Paulie out of his apartment, through the building, down the stairs, and
out the front door.
Paulie: Follow me. We'll take the train, it ain't that far.
Game Saved: 19-02 Moonlighting - On The Way To The Bank
Before anything gets out of control, Tommy and Paulie are going to go scout out
the bank. For whatever reason, you will not be driving this time. Instead,
you're going to take the train. Just follow Paulie and be perfectly casual.
Nothing serious is going down...yet. When the passenger train arrives, climb
aboard.
Paulie: We'll be there in a few minutes. So, how's everything going?
Tommy: Aside from the last few jobs, pretty boring. Of course, my kid keeps
things interesting.
Paulie: You know, I actually envy you. I gotta find a dame and start making
babies. When I look at my life, I don't seem to be doing much. Hang out, go
to parties. I'm getting pretty bored with it. The problem is I don't know
how to do anything else.
Paulie: I think most people would like to change. Everybody imagines the
adventures and dough they see in movies. There's nothing about the boring
deal makin'. I'm always having to negotiate deals with people and I can't
make notes of anything because of the cops, so I have to remember all of
it. I ain't 20 no more and I'm starting to forget! Sometimes, I don't know
who promised me what, who I lent what, and, as a result, someone always
messes with me and I lose out on the dough. It just pisses me off.
Tommy: Well, we still have the excitement.
Paulie: Oh, that's the worst! Nothing happens for six months, I start to
get lazy and suddenly, BOOM, some action. Don't think I ain't worried
something might happen to us.
Tommy: So what are we supposed to do?
Paulie: This'll be our last big job. It'd be enough to get me a pizzeria
someplace, you know, something.
Tommy: Oh really?
Paulie: Wait a minute.
(The train approaches the station.)
Paulie: Get ready, we're getting off here.
Follow Paulie off the train, then walk a bit farther to the bank and head
inside.
Paulie: So this is it, it ain't too big and it ain't too small. Let's take
a look inside.
Gamed Saved: 19-03 Moonlighting - Reconnaissance
Walk into the bank and talk to Paulie. He'll describe his plan.
Paulie: Okay. We'll start here in the hall. We'll run in here and shout
that it's a raid. These two guards will probably just give up, but if they
want to play heroes we liquidate them. As soon as they are out of the way,
we gotta get the keys to the safe. We'll have to find out where they are
from the clerks. I think they'll talk if a gun's at their heads. You go
through that door behind the counter, after you get the key.
Paulie: The door leads to a corridor. On the right is a staircase down to
the safe and upstairs to the office. If you have the keys go straight to
the safe, otherwise you'll have to get them somewhere upstairs. Downstairs
there will probably be more security guards. You'll have to deal with them
alone while I keep everything in check upstairs. Downstairs there is a
large safe, which you gotta unlock. Then you just gotta get the dough and
get out. That's everything.
Tommy: Okay.
Paulie: Let's go, we'd better get out of here.
When he's done, head back out. Talk to him again, and he'll tell you to get
weapons from his friend, Yellow Pete, and a car from Lucas Bertone.
Paulie: The bank is connected to the Holmes Security System, but even with
radio the cars can't get here for five minutes. That means that we'll have
five minutes from the time we get in to do everything and then disappear.
Paulie: We're gonna need some wheels. It's stupid to get a car from Ralphy,
'cos he'll tell Salieri. You'll have to get a good, fast set of wheels,
Tommy. For you that shouldn't be a problem.
Tommy: No, it shouldn't. I think Lucas would know of something.
Paulie: Okay, try to get something fast, we'll need it.
Tommy: I guess they won't just let us leave even if we get outta the bank
in time, we could still meet the cops in the city. And how do you wanna
deal with them?
Paulie: We head to an abandoned joint right in Hoboken, it has Palermo Club
written on the wall.
Tommy: Great.
Paulie: Then there's still a little problem with guns. I have my own stuff,
but you don't. You'll need to get some kind of heater. I think I know a
place where you can pick one up. It's pretty far, it's probably best to go
by train.
Paulie: Get on here and then go to Hoboken. Get off at the Central Hoboken
station and go in the direction from which you came by the train to the
nearest crossroads. Under the elevated railway there's a road. Follow that
and turn left at the next road. You'll see an old movie house called the
Twister. At the side entrance you'll find Yellow Pete's shop. Tell him I
sent you, and he should have something.
Tommy: I'll do that now. I'll get some weapons, then the car, then I'll
stop by your place.
Paulie: Yeah. Pull in front of the building and honk your horn, the
janitor's always locking the door. I'll come down and we'll go. I'll see
you later.
Tommy: Great.
New Objective (B): Collect the car and guns, then drive back to Paulie's house
and sound the car horn to pick him up.
As soon as you get about a block away from the bank, the city will load, your
game will be saved, and you'll have a restated version of your objective.
Game Saved: 19-04 Moonlighting - Going Shopping
New Objective (C): Go to Yellow Pete's shop in the old Twister movie house in
Hoboken to pick up some weapons. You can visit Lucas Bertone.
You're already quite close to Yellow Pete's, so you might as well head there
first. You can follow Paulie's advice and take the passenger train to the
Central Hoboken stop, you can steal a car, or you can just walk. Whatever
method you choose, head to the destination marked on your map. When you reach
the Twister movie theater, knock on the door facing the parking lot. Follow the
doorman inside, down the stairs, and into the room. Here, you'll meet Yellow
Pete.
Pete: Okay, son, what brings you here?
Tommy: Paulie sent me. We need some weapons.
Pete: Right, Paulie. Yeah, I know him... at least I think I know him...
That short, moody guy, right?
Tommy: Ehm, you could say that.
Pete: Still working for Salieri? Well, give that old goomba my regards.
Tommy: Sure... Ehm, anyway, the weapons...
Pete: Sure, sure... So what does Paulie need?
After a brief conversation, you'll get to load up. You can choose from
the following weapons:
Baseball bat
Colt Detective Special
S&W Model 27 Magnum
S&W Model 10 M&P
Colt 1911
Thompson 1928
Pump-Action Shotgun
US rifle M1903 Springfield
I'd recommend getting a Thompson and all the handguns. If you don't mind being
unable to hide your weapons, a pump-action shotgun might be worth picking
up as well.
Tommy: That should be everything.
Pete: Great! I won't keep you from your work, son! Now, you say hello to
Paulie for me.
Tommy: Sure. Thanks.
Now leave Yellow Pete's and head to Lucas Bertone's auto shop. Although his
side-mission is technically optional, it's strongly recommended. Not only do
you actually need a fast car for this mission, but you cannot return to the
Salieri Bar for one of your older cars. If you still don't want to do it, make
sure you have at least SOME car, then head back to Paulie's apartment. Just
skip the next walkthrough section and start reading again after I describe how
to complete Lucas' job.
When you pay Lucas a visit, he'll tell you what you need to do.
Tommy: Hey, Luca, I need a powerful car and fast.
Lucas: Wow, I was just about to call you! I also need a quick favor, and
the car I have for you is definitely worth it.
Tommy: What do you need?
Lucas: I promised to bring some guy a delivery and I can't get out the shop
today. Could you take it to him?
Tommy: Okay, I ain't done no deliveries yet, sure.
Lucas: Make sure nothing happens to the guy before you give it to him. He's
passing it on to someone else and if something happens to him, the whole
deal's ruined.
Tommy: And is something likely to happen?
Lucas: Hmmm, well, you know, you never can tell...
Tommy: Where do I find this guy?
Lucas: On the plot under the hoisting bridge crossing to Downtown. His
name's Dick. Before you give it to him, make sure you ain't followed. Here
it is.
Game Saved: 19-05 Moonlighting - Lucas Bertone
New Objective (D): Take the package to Big Dick who's waiting under the East
Marshall Bridge.
Do as your objective states, and head south to the bottom of Central Island.
Once you're near your target, get out of your car and walk down the stairs by
the bridge. Alternatively, you can drive down the stairs directly south of
Lucas' and just cruise along the waterfront walkway out to your target. Behind
a stack of barrels, you should see a man leaning against a wall. If you drove
down here, park your car somewhere nearby, but leave the barrels standing.
In a minute, they'll help provide you with cover. Then go over and talk to the
man (Dick).
Tommy: You Dick?
Dick: Dick? My name is Big Dick!
Tommy: A-haa. Sure. I got this package from Luca, Dick.
(Tommy gives him the package.)
Dick: Great. Anyone tail you?
Tommy: I don't think so, no.
Dick: Yeah? Then who are those guys?
(Tommy turns and sees several armed men running towards them.)
Tommy: Shit!
Dick: So, show them what you got!
Tommy: You too, Big Dick.
After handing over the package, you'll have to take out three gangsters armed
with magnums and a sawed-off shotgun. It shouldn't be very hard, though.
Dick: You ain't as soft as you look.
Tommy: You neither.
Dick: What do you mean?
Tommy: Ah, nothing, don't worry about it. Enjoy yourself.
Dick: Okay, fine, send my regards to Lucas.
New Objective (E): Return to Lucas.
Just get back in your car or steal a new one, then head back to Lucas' shop.
Use the health kit on the wall to heal any damage you may have taken, then talk
to Lucas.
Tommy: Jesus, Lucas, that was a close one.
Lucas: What happened?
Tommy: As soon as I got there, some hoods wanted to beat on us.
Lucas: Is Dick alright? Did you give him the package?
Tommy: Yeah, no problem. We took care of them together and then he took off
someplace.
Lucas: Thank God! You don't know how grateful I am! I have a real beauty
for you now. It's an American car from a German manufacturer, it's the best
around these days!
Tommy: Well, it was certainly worth the risk! Where can I find it?
Lucas: Yesterday I overheard a customer. Today around this time, he's
usually driving from Oakwood Junior High School to a meeting somewhere on
Central Island. Then follow him and when he parks, simply take the car. The
locks will be your only problem. Haha... But I know you'll manage them no
trouble.
Tommy: Thanks, Lucas. Can't wait.
Game Saved: 19-06 Moonlighting - Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (F): Steal the Trautenberg Model J which is traveling from
Oakwood Junior High School towards Central Island.
Drive out to the Oakwood Junior High School marked on your map. When you get
near, your target will start to drive away. If you want the least possibility
of something getting out of hand, simply follow him to his destination on
Central Island, then pick the lock on his car after he leaves the area. On the
other hand, you can throw caution into the wind and opt for a riskier, though
quicker solution. If you can block the man's car, you should be able to
shoot and kill him. Be aware that he is armed, though. As usual with a Lucas
Bertone-acquired car, resist the temptation to just floor it, and instead,
drive somewhat carefully. You'll want a fair amount of health for the next
segment, as it's no walk in the park. However you get your hands on the
Trautenberg, head to Paulie's apartment and honk your horn.
Paulie: Okay, I'll be right down!
(He comes out of the building and gets in the car.)
Paulie: So what? Everything's in order? Got everything you need?
Tommy: Yeah... Hey, that Yellow Pete is a little nuts!
Paulie: He's an old loony, but his stuff's good.
Tommy: Why they call him Yellow?
Paulie: Did you see his teeth? They're the yellowest in town... and they
also stink the most!
Tommy: Right! Right!
Once Paulie comes down and gets in the car, you'll get a new objective.
New Objective (G): Go to the Bank with Paulie.
Drive over to the bank, park in front, and head through the door.
Game Saved: 19-07 Moonlighting - The Bank Heist
New Objective (H): Break into the safe and steal the money.
Follow Paulie through the front doors and into the main room. As soon as he
starts talking, a timer will appear. Remember that you have 5 minutes from the
time the alarm is triggered to the arrival of the police. If they show up
before you get out of there, you'll be gunned down for sure. So move quickly!
Paulie: This is a heist! Get down on the floor and nothing will happen to
you!
Paulie: I said on the floor! Everybody!
Paulie: Deal with the guard!
As soon as the heist beings, two guards will rush towards you. One will come
from behind the door at the far end of the main room. The other will try to
ambush you from the room to your left. Kill both men as quickly as possible. If
either you or Paulie are seriously injured at this point, I'd suggest simply
reloading the save and trying again. You are going to want as much health as
possible for the rest of this mission.
Paulie: I want the keys to the safe and make it quick! Where are they?
Clerk: Sir, the keys to the grating are here, but only the manager has keys
to the safe...
Paulie: What? Where can I find the manager?
Clerk: He's upstairs in his office...
(Paulie turns to Tommy.)
Paulie: Okay! Find the keys and get the dough fast, man!
Head through the door where the first guard attacked you (at the end of the
main room). Look to the left of the door marked "Exit" and pick the grating
keys off the wall. Now head through this door and go up the stairs.
Alternatively, go up the other staircase (left of the entrance). Either way,
kill both guards on the top floor, then head through the door marked
"Director." Talk to the man here, then open the cupboard on the right side of
the room.
Tommy: The keys to the safe!
Manager: They're t-t-there in... in... in the cupboard. Just don't k-k-kill
me, I have a family!
Take the key to the safe, then head back towards the main staircase (the one
farther from the entrance). With both keys in hand, take the stairs all the way
down to the basement.
Head through the door to the left, run down the hallway, and continue circling
around until you reach two guards. Kill them both, then go left towards the
large vault door. This will trigger a cinematic.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy unlocks the grating and opens the safe with the keys and
walks inside, impressed by all the money.)
Tommy: Wow!
(The camera switches to the hall, where Paulie is keeping an eye on the
customers on the floor with his gun. A woman is screaming.)
Woman: Aaah!
Paulie: Stop screaming!
(The woman keeps screaming.)
Paulie: Stop right now! Nobody move!
(The cutscene switches back to Tommy and a gunshot is heard from above.
Tommy loads as much money as he can carry into a sack and goes back
upstairs into the main hall. There the screaming woman is lying dead on the
floor near the door, apparently shot by Paulie while trying to escape.)
Paulie: That's it, let's get outta here!
[End of cinematic]
New Objective (I): Escape with Paulie and get to the Palmero Club in Hoboken.
Once you're back in control of Tommy, start to run back out the way you came.
Unfortunately, the door to your left is still locked, so you'll have to circle
all the way around to the right. Run back up the stairs and into the main room.
Finally, go out the front door (an alarm will start ringing) and jump in your
car. As soon as you get a block or so away from the bank, the city will load.
Game Saved: 19-08 Moonlighting - The Escape
Your destination - The Palmero Club - is not far away. However, you'll have
cops on your tail in no time. If you're feeling risky, you can try driving
straight down the alleyway towards your target (rather than following the main
road), but since the Trautenberg is an open-top car, if you flip it, you'll die
instantly. However you choose, make your way to the location marked on your
map and head into the warehouse. If any cops are still on your tail, you may
have to kill them. When it's all clear, talk to Paulie.
Paulie: Okay, this is the place. We did it.
Paulie: We're loaded, Tom! We did it! It worked!
Tommy: Sure looks like it. So what now?
Paulie: We'll change our clothes so they won't pick us up on the street,
and put the dough in the briefcase.
Tommy: Fine, then what?
Paulie: We don't say a word to anyone. Sleep on it, stop by tomorrow and
think about what we're goin' to do with the dough. I'll take it with me, so
Sarah won't find it, you know.
Tommy: Just don't run off with it.
Paulie: Sure, I'll take off to Hawaii! Ha ha ha...
Tommy: Don't try it, I'd find you and stuff that metal-plated briefcase
down your throat.
Paulie: I'm lookin' forward to it.

| | the previous mission, and he is NOT pleased. You're |
| | going to have to go up against an overwhelming force - |
| | almost an army - of gangsters. I hope you're ready. |

WALKTHROUGH
[Cinematic]
(Tommy is seen walking on the street to Paulie's house.)
Tommy: (narrating) We hid the dough from the bank at Paulie's for the time
being. We couldn't blow it all straight away so we arranged that I'd stop
by there the next day and we'd think of the best way to invest it. I had
loads of ideas of what to do with the money but I was pretty curious about
what Paulie's plans were.
(Tommy enters the building and goes up to Paulie's floor. There he notices
that the door to Paulie's apartment is not locked. Alarmed, he opens the
door and finds Paulie lying dead on the floor in the foyer. There are
several gunshot wounds on his back.)
Tommy: Oh, Jesus... What the hell happened?
(Tommy takes out his gun and checks Paulie's pulse, but he is already dead.
His eyes are open and blood is oozing out of his mouth.)
Tommy: Paulie... Paulie...
(He stands up and looks around the house.)
Tommy: Christ... the dough, where's the dough?!
(He checks an empty crate.)
Tommy: Dammit, it's all gone. This is like a bad dream...
(There is also a patch of blood on Paulie's bed. Tommy goes and carefully
looks out the window. Then the phone rings. He picks it up. It is Sam.)
Sam: Paulie?
Tommy: Ehm, Sam? It's Tom... Paulie's dead... I... I...
Sam: Christ! I knew it. Tom, you're in deep shit! I wanted to warn Paulie,
Salieri found out about the bank and decided he wasn't gonna tolerate it! I
didn't make it in time. Tom, you gotta disappear fast.
Tommy: Sam, I... I didn't know it would be such a big deal... I... what
should I do? I can't just leave Sarah and the kid!
Sam: Okay, okay, Tom, I'll help you. We gotta meet somewhere but almost
everywhere is dangerous for you now. Our best bet would be the city
gallery.
Tommy: Okay, okay, I'll be there in a little while... I... thank you... You
know Paulie is lying here in a million pieces, I don't know who else I
could turn to...
Sam: It's okay. I still owe you one.
Tommy: Thanks, Sam.
[End of cinematic]
After the opening cinematic...well, you know the drill.
Game Saved: 20-01 The Death Of Art - Paulie's Flat
New Objective (A): Meet Sam at the city's Art Gallery, you could visit Yellow
Pete on the way.
Head out of Paulie's apartment and down the stairs. Make sure your weapon is
hidden and quickly run past the cops coming up the stairs towards you. If they
find you at the scene of the crime, they'll shoot you without hesitation.
Continue past the gangster and detective who come in, then head out the front
door.
Game Saved: 20-02 The Death Of Art - City
New Objective (B): Meet Sam at the city Gallery, alternatively you can visit
Lucas Bertone.
Before you get off in search of weapons and wheels, let me make something
clear. Understand that you should only do the Lucas Bertone side-mission if you
want to unlock the car for use in Freeride. If you don't care, it's just not
worth your time, as it will be of practically no value whatsoever in this
mission. There are no car chases to deal with; no races to win. After you drive
to the art gallery, there are no more vehicle sequences for the rest of the
main game. However, I will still provide a walkthrough.
Since the second part of the side-mission is rather difficult using only a Colt
Detective Special, it's advisable that you go to Yellow Pete's first. Just like
in the previous mission, his shop is located behind the Twister theater in
Hoboken.
Pete: Hello, son. So how's Paulie?
Tommy: Paulie's dead.
Pete: Well, I guess he ain't too well then, may he rest in peace. Knowing
you, he's probably resting in pieces, hm? So your little job didn't work
out?
Tommy: It looks that way.
Pete: Well, so you'll be needing some weapons then, right?
Tommy: I see you never forget the business side of things.
Pete: Of course not. That'd be a big mistake!
Tommy: Okay, show me what you got.
Notice that you have the same choice of weapons as you did in Moonlighting. For
this mission, I'd recommended the Thompson, Springfield, and all the handguns.
You may be tempted by the pump-action shotgun, but the layout of the art
gallery makes the Springfield far more useful.
Tommy: Thanks, here's the money.
Pete: Thank you kindly and I hope you get those bastards. Paulie deserves
at least that.
After you've loaded up, either head to the Art Gallery or to Lucas Bertone's.
As usual, I'll provide a walkthrough for his side-mission.
Once you get to the auto shop, talk to Lucas and he'll tell you that you need
to follow a hooker in order to find a man in hiding.
Lucas: Hey, Tommy! You look exhausted...
Tommy: I am and I've definitely got a good reason to be.
Lucas: What happened?
Tommy: It doesn't matter. I just need a good set of wheels, Lucas.
Lucas: We'll see what could be done.
Tommy: Great. What do you need today?
Lucas: I need to find out where a certain guy is hidden. He owes a lot of
people big time and I'm one of them.
Tommy: Where can I find him?
Lucas: This hooker has fallen for him and she brings him food and, you
know, stuff, but so far nobody knows where. So, you need to find her and
find out where he's hidden. Then I'll find him and deal with him.
Tommy: And where do I find her?
Lucas: She works in that same hotel which you blew a hole out of in '32.
But if you wait for her there, she'll certainly lead you to him.
Tommy: And then?
Lucas: When she goes home, just come back here and tell me where she goes.
Tommy: Okay.
Game Saved: 20-03 The Death Of Art - Lucas Bertone
New Objective (C): Follow the woman leaving the Corleone Hotel who will lead
you to the man who owes money to Lucas.
Get in your car and follow the map/compass to the Corleone Hotel. As Lucas
reminds you, this is the place you visited (read: destroyed) in "The Whore."
Wait outside the front door until the woman comes out, then follow her. It's
advisable that you stay in your car, especially if you've already loaded up at
Yellow Pete's. Make sure to keep your distance, though. If you get too close,
she'll get suspicious, so back off and take it slow. Follow her up the
alleyway, across the path, past the church and down another block. Finally,
she'll enter a building across the street.
New Objective (D): Return to Lucas.
Make your way back to Lucas' shop. He'll tell you where to find a Thor 812
Cabriolet FWD.
Tommy: I found him for you, Lucas. He lives Downtown on the corner of the
street above the church.
Lucas: Fantastic. She didn't see you?
Tommy: No way. So where's this car?
Lucas: Sure, you know where the used car dealership is in town?
Tommy: Up near Chinatown?
Lucas: Right! You'll find it there! An improved version of one sports car
with front-wheel drive.
Tommy: And how is it better than the old one?
Lucas: Performance, son! The accelerator is much better, even if, at first
sight, the car looks the same. But when you go for it, watch out, the car
isn't for sale and belongs to the owner, and he's got real nasty dogs
there.
Tommy: I should handle it.
Game Saved: 20-04 The Death Of Art - Lucas Bertone 2
New Objective (E): Steal the Thor 812 from the Bazaar in Chinatown.
For this next part, you will have to do a little shooting. Although you could
theoretically do everything you need to using only your default Colt Detective
Special (with six shots), this is not recommended. Hopefully, you've already
paid Yellow Pete a visit and loaded up on weapons. If not, do so now. When
you're ready, head to the Bazaar in Chinatown.
When you arrive, park nearby and make sure that there are no cops around.
You'll notice that there are two gates to the compound; you can use either one.
When you're ready, shoot the lock off the gate, open it, then take care of the
guard dogs. Make your way over towards the Thor 812 and pick the lock. It may
take you a while, since the car is a very high-end model.
Now, on to the main objective. Doing the Lucas Bertone mission is highly
optional, and only recommended if you want the Thor 812 Cabriolet FWD unlocked
for Freeride. Visiting Yellow Pete's is technically optional, but if you don't
go pick up some weapons, you won't have a fighting chance later on in the
mission. When you've completed either or both of these objectives, head to the
art gallery, located at the south end of Central Island. If you have taken ANY
damage, it's recommended that you head back to Lucas Bertone's and use the
health pack on his wall. Then return to the art gallery. When you're ready,
park nearby and go in the front door.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy enters the gallery and is suddenly ambushed by two gangsters wielding
pistols while he is looking around the entrance hall.)
Gangster: Don't move, scumbag!
Tommy: Oh shit!
(Dollar bills start to fall on Tommy from above and Sam's voice is heard.)
Sam: Surprise!
(Tommy looks up and sees Sam on the upper balcony holding a cigarette in
his hand.)
Sam: Haha! You weren't lookin' for that at Paulie's, by chance?
Tommy: Sam, what's going on? I thought we were meeting alone.
Sam: The situation's changed, Tom.
(Sam lights his cigarette.)
Sam: I had to decide whose side I was on and sorry, but it would be
suicidal to stand on your side. I can live with murder, though.
Tommy: So, you killed Paulie?!
Sam: Well, I was more the means to his death. The same as I am in your
case.
Tommy: I would never have expected this from you, Sam!
Sam: Well, I'm in a good mood. Things are lookin' up for me, and I found a
bag of money.
Tommy: So killing off your partners is a big laugh? Maybe I should try it.
Sam: It ain't bad, but you probably won't have time.
Tommy: It's never too late to start. I guess honor's out of the picture?
Sam: Honor's meaningless! This is business and you've broken its unwritten
rules many times over, Tom. Maybe I feel some pity, but that's outta place
in business.
Tommy: I didn't notice that I was the cause of the family's problems.
Sam: Really? You did what you wanted, Tom! You didn't kill Frank! You let
that whore get away and then the bank! You can't do what you know as right,
because you don't know nothing. You don't grasp the effects of your
actions. The Don is the thinker.
Tommy: You were never a great thinker, so you probably need him. That's not
how I feel. I can think for myself.
Sam: The opinion of Don Salieri is that he won't go and sit in jail just
because of your feelings. And I agree with his opinion completely. Don
Salieri really liked you, Tom, and I did too. We'll cry together at the
funeral.
Tommy: You poor bastard, Sam, I feel sorry for you.
Sam: But I'm alive. It's a pity you can't use that money. Don't worry,
we'll give Sarah a little something. You know, single mothers don't have it
easy these days. The Don will take care of her, he isn't as much of a
monster as you think. Goodbye, Tom, it was nice knowing you. Take good care
of him, boys... And please, don't make him suffer. He's my buddy.
(Sam leaves. Just as the two gangsters prepare to shoot him, Tommy takes a
small Colt Detective Special pistol out of his sleeve and shoots one of
them before jumping behind a column.)
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 20-05 The Death Of Art - Grand Finale
New Objective (F): Kill all of the bastards.
Let me just make an opening note. This segment of the game is without a doubt
the single most difficult part of Mafia. You will have to defeat what is
practically an army of well-armed enemies, all by yourself. As if that weren't
tough enough, there is only one opportunity to address your injuries, it's deep
in the level, and it only heals you 50 points. To put it bluntly, this is going
to be very hard. You will die. Plain and simple. In fact, you will probably die
much more than you'd like to. At least the first few run-throughs, you will
most likely be ambushed by someone as you move into a new area too quickly.
Eventually, you will know exactly what to do and where to go, yet you may still
find it difficult to do so. With this mission, even if you're doing everything
right, you sometimes need a little bit of luck. Just keep trying, and in the
end, you'll make it through, if only by the skin of your teeth.
As soon as the cinematic ends, Tommy will automatically draw his Colt Detective
Special. Quickly fire at the two gangsters nearby using the detective special.
As soon as you empty the clip, don't bother reloading. Instead, immediately
equip your Thompson and finish them off. Note that the gun may be on the ground
(since you drew a handgun while trying to carry two large weapons). However,
you shouldn't have to move to pick it up. Just right click and quickly aim at
your foes. Ideally, this whole process will occur in a matter of seconds.
Next, switch to the Springfield and kill the gangster running through the door
at the top of the flight of stairs in front of you. Another enemy will follow
shortly after the first one dies. Take him out as well. Switch back to the
Thompson and kill the gangster coming down the opposite set of stairs (behind
you). Now take a breather. If you've taken a significant amount of damage, you
should reload your save. If not, continue.
There are two ways to approach the next section. I will describe the first one
in detail, then comment on how you could approach the same situation from a
different angle.
Head up the staircase and go through the door. Move through the room and into
the next. Slowly go through the door on your left and edge around the display
case until you can get a shot off at the gangsters in the next room. Be
careful, as one of them has a shotgun. When he's down, move forward into the
room. Pull out your Springfield and snipe the Thompson-wielding gangster who
appears on the balcony across from you. Next, follow the corridor around to the
right, then edge around the corner to the left. Take out the gangster here and
the two that come to support him, using whatever weapons you prefer. Take cover
behind the wall as necessary. Move towards the first enemy's corpse, then
immediately run back the way you came, as a grenade should have landed by your
feet. After it goes off, two more gangsters should come down the stairs. Take
them out how you please. If you want more Thompson ammo, circle around to the
man you sniped earlier and pick up his weapon. Now head back to the staircase
where the grenade went off.
Another way of doing this starts back in the first room. After taking out the
initial five gangsters, head up the other staircase (with the closed door).
Turn to the right and kill the gangster here, then climb over the railing. For
reference, this was the Thompson-wielding gangster, so you are now at the other
end of the first floor wing. If you're having trouble getting through the above
paragraph, you may want to approach it from this direction instead. Whatever
you choose, kill everyone on the main floor, then make your way to the
staircase where the grenade exploded.
Ascend the stairs and another cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
Sam: As I see it, the boys underestimated you, Tom! Well, I hope they'll be
luckier this time. Boys, be careful you don't break anything! There are
lots of beautiful and valuable things in here!
[End of cinematic]
Quickly take cover behind the statue to your left. Take out the Springfield,
edge around the corner and kill the two enemies at the top of the stairs. A
third gangster, standing on the other side of the stairs, will most likely join
them, so take him down too. At this point, the top of the stairs on the left
side should be clear, so back up into the corner of the wall. Edge out and try
to snipe the two gangsters hiding behind you on the balcony (looking up from
the very bottom of the stairs, they would be straight ahead). This part is
particularly challenging, because it can be very difficult to tell where the
enemies are.
Now, draw your Thompson and slowly edge up the stairs. Although you've killed
everyone right at the top, there are many more enemies hanging back, waiting to
ambush you. Peek around the corner and try to take out the gangster near the
center of the room. The gunfire may attract another, who you should obviously
kill as well. At this point, there is probably still a gangster or two left at
the far end of this room. Shoot him/them from a distance or circle around and
flank him/them. When everyone in this main area is dead, take a breather.
If you're injured, you can find the only health kit in this area behind the
stairs you ascended earlier. Be careful, as a gangster will throw a grenade at
you when you get close. However, you will end up reaching this area in just a
little bit, so you don't necessarily need to heal right now. Anyway, to move
on, return to the center area (where you can see down to the floor below you).
From here, with the staircase to your back, turn right. Open the large set of
doors in front of you, but quickly pull back behind the cover of the wall.
As soon as you open the doors, two gangsters will most likely open fire at you.
Try to take out these shotgun-toting enemies before they have time to get to
cover, but beware of two more foes hiding to the left. If you're low on (or out
of) Springfield ammo, you may want to swap it for a shotgun at this point.
Definitely keep the Thompson, though. Head forward into the next large room,
checking the side chambers on the left to make sure all enemies are dead. At
the far end of this area, edge around the corner to the right. You should see
an enemy pop his head up for a second. Watch out, as this guy will probably run
at you with a sawed-off shotgun. Take him out, then slowly move into the room
and dispatch the gangster shooting at you from the far end. Head towards him,
through the doorway here, and to the right. At this point, Tommy should yell
"Sam!" Edge through the doorway and take out the two gangsters in the next room
to the right. Go straight ahead into the side-chamber and kill the guy in the
next room. Go through the next set of rooms and you should find yourself at the
other end of the level (behind the main staircase). All enemies on this floor
should now be dead, so go and round up as much ammunition as you can find.
If you haven't already, use the health kit here. It may only be 50 health, but
it's certainly better than nothing. Once again, beware the grenade that will
land at your feet when you approach. Just run away, and wait for it to explode
before continuing. Edge up the stairs and take care of the gangster who threw
that grenade. At this point, all enemies in the level (except for Sam) should
now be dead. Make sure you have used the health kit and have as much ammunition
as you can hold, especially for the Thompson. Ascend the stairs and head into
the room at the top. If you find yourself in a small room with lots of chairs,
turn around 180 degrees and go in the OTHER room. Run down the hallway and
around the perimeter to trigger a cinematic.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy continues to fight his way through the gallery and eventually
reaches a circular balcony that looks down onto a hall, holding his Colt
1911 pistol. Suddenly, Sam opens fire on him from the other side of the
balcony with his Tommy gun. Tommy takes cover behind a column.)
Tommy: It looks like you underestimated your new partners! Maybe you
oughtta change sides.
Sam: It's still not over, Tom!
(They exchange gunfire for a few seconds.)
Tommy: Things aren't what they look like, Sam. Salieri also double-crossed
you.
Sam: What are you talking about?
Tommy: We almost got killed because of those stupid cigars. Salieri knew
that the job was risky. There were diamonds hidden between those cigars, he
didn't wanna give us a cut. That's why Paulie wanted to take the bank,
because he realized how Salieri was ripping us off.
Sam: He told me about those diamonds, Tom. He only wanted to keep them
secret so nobody knew where they were before he sold them. Besides, the
diamonds have nothing to do with the fact that you didn't kill Frank! He
broke the Omerta. Which is worse, Tom?
Tommy: How do you know I didn't kill Frank?
Sam: You can blame it all on someone else you didn't kill. You're too
human. She came back to the city and we found her by accident.
Tommy: Dammit!
(Tommy fires a few shots at Sam.)
Sam: Tom, Tom, you know you can't trust a dame. I can understand it isn't
easy to kill your wife's best friend. I should have done it for you. She
also pleaded with me and cried. Well, we realized that we couldn't rely on
you, so we checked up a little and found out about Frank.
Tommy: Sam, do you really think everything has to end like this? We still
got a chance.
Sam: There ain't no way back now, Tom, I'm sorry.
[End of cinematic]
Game Saved: 20-06 The Death Of Art - Sam
Well, the worst is finally over. Your game has been saved, and you won't soon
have to get through that first part again. That said, you still have to take
down Sam, and that's no cakewalk. Also, chances are that by this point, you
don't have much health. However, if you know what to do, Sam isn't that hard at
all. A basic strategy for killing him is to pop up over, or around a balcony
ledge, and open fire at him with the Thompson (or Springfield, if you still
have it). After dealing some damage, he'll duck away and run to another
position. Continue circling the area until you can get a good shot at him.
Repeat this process until he no longer pops up to shoot at you.
If this technique works for you, by all means use it. After Sam disappears from
view, skip the next paragraph and rejoin the walkthrough. I say this because
most people need a little bit more help in taking him out, so I'll outline a
different strategy. The problem here is that while the basic plan of attack
looks good on paper, in reality, it's a bit flawed. You'll most likely find
that when crossing one of the open areas, you'll frequently be torn to bits by
Thompson fire. Luckily, there's a much faster, easier, and slightly more unfair
method to beat Sam.
Make sure you have the Thompson equipped with a full clip loaded. Edge around
the corner to the right until you can get a shot off. Aim directly at Sam's
chest or head and fire repeated single shots. Do NOT just spray full-auto fire
at him. The key here is to find the right rhythm. If you fire too quickly, your
aim will recoil and you'll miss. If you fire too slowly, Sam will be able to
dive out of the way. But if you fire, fire, fire, at precisely the right pace,
Sam will be kept constantly recoiling while your crosshairs continue to fall
directly on his chest/head. If you do it right, he won't be able to break free
from your suppressive fire. After you've used up around half of your clip, let
him go, so to speak.
At this point, regardless of what method you used, Sam is severely injured. You
can tell this because he no longer shoots at you when you pass by a balcony or
doorway. In fact, he's nowhere to be seen. Run around the perimeter of the room
towards the last place you shot him. As you get close, you should see a trail
of blood leading down the corridor. Follow it. If you haven't already, reload
your Thompson so that you have a full clip.
As you follow the blood trail down the hallway, you should see a statue in the
corner. As you near it, Sam will roll into your path in one last desperate
attempt to kill Tommy. If you aren't prepared for this, the element of surprise
can easily give him enough time to fill you full of holes. To remedy this,
before you reach the stature, "fire" your gun once to pull your Thompson up to
your hip, and as you near the statue, spray lead down the hallway. Don't stop
firing until Sam goes down. When he finally does, a cinematic will play.
[Cinematic]
(Tommy pursues Sam by the trail of blood and finds him limping, trying to get
away. Sam turns and shoots at him again and Tommy dodges the bullets by jumping
onto the floor. Then Sam's gun jams and Tommy points his pistol at him.)
Sam: Dammit.
(Tommy does not pull the trigger.)
Sam: Hey, it's the same situation again, Tom. And once again you can't decide.
(Sam drops his Tommy gun and runs away.)
Tommy: Dammit!
(Tommy goes after Sam and finds him limping in a hall below him. He points
his gun and, after a few seconds of hesitation, shoots him in the back. Sam
touches the wound on his chest and looks at his bloody hand.)
Sam: You... you... did it... But they'll get you all the same... Salieri...
will... get you...
(He turns to face Tommy.)
Sam: He stood by you... you rat... You're dangerous, Tom... and Paulie...
is dead... He was never... sure... that you wouldn't... forgive... his...
death... You gonna have to... hide... like an outcast... and one... day
they'll get you... all the same... like Frank...
Tommy: They found him?!
Sam: You only... length... lengthened his life... but in the end they found
him... all the same... and Frank... was the Don's... only real... friend...
Friendship ain't worth shit...
(Tommy shoots Sam several times. Sam falls against the railing around the
opening in the middle of the hall and the level ends with drops of his
blood falling onto the dollars from the bank robbery in the entrance hall
below.)

[Cinematic]
(Tommy and Detective Norman are continuing their conversation in the cafe.)
Norman: So it was you again, huh? You destroyed the picture collection
worth a few million dollars?
Tommy: I wasn't planning on it, but somehow it worked out that way.
Norman: Otherwise that's everything?
Tommy: I got out of there fast. It was no picnic. I really was in danger,
but I pulled it off. I took the wife and daughter and immediately left the
country. Sam was right, if they decided to find Frank in Europe and take
revenge almost five years after he disappeared, they wouldn't let me just
leave after betraying them.
Norman: And you're willing to say all that you've now said to me in front
of a court and give evidence against all those men? Don't you think the
situation will be a lot worse for you? What you're planning to do now isn't
betrayal, it's more like treason.
Tommy: If these people go to jail, or better yet, death row, they won't be
able to take revenge on me. At least not as easily as if they were free. I
am willing to give evidence against them if you ensure our protection and,
after the trial, a new identity for me, my wife and my daughter.
Norman: If we manage to pull it off, it will be the biggest legal battle
this country's ever seen. It's an interesting offer. I don't know if it's
moral to help somebody like you, but I think the results would be worth it.
I think we'll help you...
(The camera shows four newspapers in a row. The headline of the first one
reads "GANGSTER TRIAL! What will be next?" The second newspaper reads
"SALIERI'S GANG PUT BEHIND BARS?" and contains a photo that shows Salieri's
Bar wrecked with a dead man lying on the floor. The third headline says "80
GANGSTERS CONVICTED!" and the fourth one "ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR SALIERI'S
HITMEN" Next, Tommy is seen sitting at a table in a solitary cell and
writing in a notebook.)
Tommy: (narrating) Everything worked out until the legal case. I sat in my
cell and wrote down the evidence I had against all the people I had worked
with. People I had been friends with for ten years. The case was huge and
caused a shock throughout the country. Salieri got life, even some of his
thugs got the chair. The shortest sentence was eight years. I spent the
whole time in a closed cell at a secret location, with no visitors. I
didn't see Sarah or my little girl the entire time.
(The view switches to a suburban area on a sunny day, where Tommy, now an
old man with gray hair and a moustache, is watering the garden of his
house.)
Tommy: (narr.) In the end it was worth it. Norman got us new identities,
and moved us to the other end of the US. I got work as a driver for a
respectable company. We started a whole new life. This peace was only
interrupted by the war, but we got through it...
(A red sports car parks near the house and two men wearing suits and hats
get out. They approach Tommy from behind.)
Man: Mr. Angelo?
(Tommy turns to them.)
Tommy: Yes?
Man: Mr. Salieri sends his regards.
(One of the men shoots Tommy with a shotgun. They leave as Tommy lies dead
in a pool of blood. After showing a close-up view of Tommy's face, the
camera begins to move away, showing the garden and house from above.)
Tommy: (narrating) You know, the world isn't run by the laws written on
paper. It's run by people. Some according to laws, others not. It depends
on each individual how his world will be, how he makes it. And you also
need a whole lot of luck, so that somebody else doesn't make your life
hell. And it ain't as simple as they tell you in grade school. But it is
good to have strong values and to maintain them. In marriage, in crime, in
war, always and everywhere.
Tommy: (narr.) I messed up. So did Paulie and Sam. We wanted a better life,
but in the end we were a lot worse off than most other people. You know, I
think it's important to keep a balance in things. Yeah, balance, that's the
right word. Because the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely
everything. Of course, the guy who wants too little from life, might not
get anything at all.

*******************************************************************************
Freeride is essentially a free-play mode where you can drive, shoot, steal
things, and do just about whatever you want. Unlike the main game, you don't
have any specific missions to undertake; everything's pretty much up to you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11-OPT]
-----------
- Options -
-----------
Traffic, Pedestrian, and Police Patrol Density:
These sliders are only active once you complete the game (Mission #20: "The
Death of Art"). After that, you can adjust how many cars, pedestrians, and
police you want in your freeride through Lost Heaven. Until you beat the game,
the sliders are grayed out and inaccessible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location [s]:
City-Small:
This is the only location that's unlocked from the beginning of the game. You
will start in a parking lot about a block west of the Salieri bar. Also, the
"small" in the title refers to the fact that the Terranova Bridge, Chinatown,
Oakwood, and Oak Hill are all blocked off. Furthermore, you cannot leave the
city as the countryside is also inaccessible.
City-Night: If you choose City-Night, you can begin in one of four locations:
Little Italy - A block west of the Salieri Bar
Central Island - East side of lower Central Island - This is the parking
lot outside the garage featured in "A Great Deal!"
Downtown - Far southeast corner - This is where Paulie's gun jammed
in "You Lucky Bastard!"
Hoboken - Right across the street from the steep road that leads
into Oak Hill
In addition, all areas of the city are open for use, and you can travel out to
the countryside. When this occurs, the game loads "Countryside-Night." This
location is unlocked after completing Mission #8: "Sarah/Better Get Used to
It."
Countryside-Night:
Here, you have free roam of the countryside and can travel back into the city
(which will load City-Night). You have four choices of starting location:
Chinatown Exit - Where you would be if you'd left the city from Chinatown
Dam - Near the base of the dam. A series of windy roads leads
to the top.
Lay-by - About a half mile up the hills from the Clark Motel
(following Morello's path in "Creme de la Creme" rather
than the gangster's path in "Ordinary Routine.")
Motel - Right next to the Clark Motel.
Like City-Night, Countryside-Night is unlocked after completing Mission #8:
"Sarah/Better Get Used to It."
City-Daytime:
This is identical to City-Night, except it's always daytime. Everything else is
the same. It's unlocked after completing Mission #14: "Happy Birthday!"
Countryside-Daytime:
This is identical to Countryside-Night, except it's always daytime. Everything
else is the same. It too is unlocked after completing Mission #14: "Happy
Birthday!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Car: From the subsequent menu, you can select a manufacturer, then from the
sub-menu, choose the car itself. If the car comes in multiple colors, you must
specify which you want from the menu provided. Note that there are some issues
(possible game bugs) with car color. See the "Cars" section of this guide for
more information.
If no selection is made within the car menu, the Falconer Yellowcar (taxi) is
selected by default. As a result, you can use this vehicle even if you haven't
yet unlocked it normally. Once again, check the "Cars" section for more
information about manufacturers, groups, and individual vehicles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11-OBJ]
--------------
- Objectives -
--------------
Even though you have no overall mission or goal in Freeride mode, there are a
number of specific activities you can perform in order to make and spend money.
When you start a Freeride game, a list of "objectives" is displayed. I'll cover
each in depth, starting with an in-game quotation, then moving on to
explanations and strategies:
Objectives 1-4: Making Money
Objectives 5-10: Spending Money
1. TAXI
"Taxi: When driving a taxi, you can make money by picking up and dropping off
people."
Are you someone who thought that the first half of Mission #2 ("The Running
Man") was the most fun part of the entire game? Okay, probably not...Even if
you don't particularly like the taxi, you can still make good money by being a
driver. All you need is a taxi vehicle. For most people, options will be
limited to the Falconer Yellowcar, and...um...well, that's it. However, those
who have unlocked certain prototypes in Freeride Extreme know that there are
separate taxi versions of the Masseur and Manta, and that the HotRod, Black
Dragon 4WD, Bob Mylan 4WD, Speedee 4WD, Luciferion and Hillbilly 5.1 FWD all
function as taxis. However, I'm going to assume that all you have is the
Falconer Yellowcar.
Basically, all you have to do is drive around, scanning the sidewalks.
Eventually, you should see someone waving their arms around, signaling you.
Pull up reasonably close to them and come to a complete stop. They should stop
waving their arms and start walking towards your car. Once they get in the back
seat (front seat for the prototype cars), the camera will cut to a shot of
their destination. Don't worry if you don't recognize it, because the location
will be marked on your map. You will also notice that a timer has appeared.
As you would expect, you need to reach the destination within the allotted
time. The amount of time you get is determined by how far away the location is,
so you should never face an impossible expectation.
When you arrive at your destination, pull to a complete stop, and the passenger
will exit. You will get a sum of money based on the length of the trip. I don't
want to generalize too much, but I'd say that $600 is an average reward for
your taxiing service. You may be saying "What!!!! $600 for a cab ride!!!" but
keep in mind that in Lost Heaven, a tank of gas costs $500 (and you thought our
gas prices were bad).
2. Gangsters
"Gangsters: You will receive money for every Gangster you eliminate"
This is one of the most entertaining of the money-making jobs in Freeride, and
will probably serve as your main source of income. It's as simple as this: For
every gangster that you kill directly, you are instantly awarded $500.
Indirect kills, such as a gangster dying in crossfire that isn't from your
gun, a gangster dying because you pushed their car into the water, or a
gangster dying because you rammed their car with enough force to kill them, DO
NOT COUNT, and will not net you $500.
Gangsters are easily visible in Lost Heaven because they wear jet black trench
coats. Only one of the pedestrian "types/models" looks anything similar, and if
you compared them back-to-back, you'll be able to recognize the difference
easily. Also, gangsters on the street walk calmly, even arrogantly. The
pedestrian with the gray coat (who could be confused with a gangster) leans
over and hunches his shoulders when he walks.
Gangsters found walking the streets are always armed with a Thompson. Gangsters
can also be seen driving Falconer Gangsters and Wright Coupe Gangsters. In
either car, they always travel in pairs, and carry any combination of a
Colt 1911, S&W Model 27 Magnum, or Sawed-Off Shotgun.
If you want to kill one on the street, approach quickly from behind, anticipate
his dodge/roll, and run him over. If you're on foot, your best chance is to hit
him from point-blank range. At that distance, a blast from either shotgun to
the chest or head will be lethal almost every time.
If you're dealing with gangsters in a car, you should use a different strategy.
Park your own car in front of them (or in front of a line of traffic) so that
they can't move. Make sure not to ram them, because this gets them angry,
causing them to attack you. Next, have either a Thompson or a shotgun ready.
Walk up to the driver's side window, aim at the driver's head, and fire.
Continue to fire until the driver is dead, even if he tries to get out of the
car during this time. If they were in a Wright Coupe Gangster, you have a good
chance of having wounded or even killed the passenger as well. If not, then
circle around the car and quickly put a bullet or two in his head. If you have
no car available to block them, wait until they're stuck in a traffic jam, so
they can't move. It's imperative that they are stopped when you do this,
otherwise they won't get out of their car. Instead, they'll just run you over.
Get a good feel for shooting into both the Wright Coupe Gangster (which is very
low to the ground) and the Falconer Gangster (which is very high off the
ground).
A note about gangsters: Both gangster weapons and cars are "cheated." The
sawed-off shotgun, when wielded by a gangster, is capable of firing up to eight
rounds in almost instantaneous rapid fire, even though its magazine
capacity is only two. As soon as you pick it up, it becomes a regular sawed-off
again. Also, gangsters are able to push their Falconers and Wrights far beyond
their tops speeds in order to chase you down. As soon as you take their car,
however, it becomes perfectly normal again.
Another note: I think this goes without saying, but just in case it wasn't
clear...All of this gangster killing stuff should never be done when police
are in the area. Any of your gunshots can easily be heard by a nearby officer,
even if they aren't facing you. Of course, if you've beaten the main game,
you've also unlocked the ability to set the police patrol density. If you turn
it all the way down, no one should hastle you.
3. Speeding
"Speeding: You will be rewarded with money for driving at high speed"
This is one of the simplest methods of earning money in Freeride. Essentially,
for every few seconds that you maintain your speed at or above 70 mph, you gain
$100. Unfortunately, 70 mph is also the point at which speeding changes from a
ticketable offense to an arrestable offense. As a result make sure to avoid the
cops, and be prepared to brake suddenly when you see them in the distance or on
your radar. On the other hand, you can always disable the cops altogether,
provided you've already beaten the main game.
Using speeding to get money is quite simple. In fact, you might even do it
unintentionally if you have a fast car. However, if you have a basic 1930s
vehicle that has trouble pushing 60 mph, you're going to need some help.
Study the map of Lost Heaven (either in game, from the box, or an online map)
and look for long straightaways where you could gather speed. A few curves are
fine, as long as you could still maneuver around them at 70+ mph. Also, be
aware that once you reach the end of the path, you can simply turn around and
take it back the other way for, more or less, the same speed benefits. Here are
some examples:
Chinatown to Armory: Start in the Northwest corner of Chinatown and head east
over the Terranova bridge, into New Ark. Once you reach the end of the
straightaway, turn around and take the same route back.
Gallery to Little Italy: Start at the Art Gallery at the southern tip of
Central Island. Speed up and get onto the main arterial leading north. Stay to
the left, so you can take the Central Island Tunnel. Be careful when you're
going through it, though, as there is little margin for error when traveling
through dense traffic at high speed. Continue straight until you can't go any
farther. Turn around and repeat.
Gallery to Hoboken: Once again, start at the Art Gallery at bottom of Central
Island. Speed up and get onto the main arterial leading north. This time, stay
to the right side and take the Giuliano Bridge into northern Downtown. You can
stop when the road curves abruptly to the left. However, if you're feeling
dangerous, feel free to plow on through the guard rails, which is a secret path
to Hoboken. Try your best not to flip over, and stay as far right as you can
(so you don't collide with the shack/fence on your left. Continue straight
until you can't go any farther. Instead of turning around, try starting on the
next speed zone, described below.
Oak Hill road to Superramp: Start in Hoboken, either near the Oak Hill road,
or even farther east. Accelerate up this road and follow it into Downtown. The
most difficult part is making the medium right turn up the hill. If you can
get through that without losing control, you're home free. Just make sure to
decelerate and brake a little early, since you can easily go flying out to sea
if you don't. If you're in Freeride Extreme mode, this is just about the only
way you can use the superramp to cross the East River.
These are just a few examples. I'm sure you can find your own paths and routes
that get you going fast enough to make some serious money. Just remember to
decelerate and brake near the end of your run. An extra $100 for speeding until
the very last second isn't worth dying and losing all your money if you careen
into a solid wall at 90 mph.
4. Boom
"Boom: Destroying a car will earn you money"
This is another simple way to make money, albeit a rather dangerous one.
Basically, for every car you destroy, you get $100. As with the gangsters, the
destruction has to be directly caused by you. Also, sinking the vehicle doesn't
count. No, I'm talking about actually blowing up a car (where there's an
explosion and flying parts, leaving only a shell and the burnt corpse of the
driver). The two best ways to do this are to either use guns or grenades.
With guns, I'd recommend the Thompson or either of the shotguns. First, get a
car to stop, then remove or kill the driver. Next, move a safe distance back
and aim at the engine. Commence firing at that area. Eventually, the car should
explode. As you practice, you will get a sense of how big the blast radius is,
and how far away you should to stand to avoid getting hurt. You'll also find
that certain cars explode with little provocation, while others are almost
indestructible by conventional means.
If you choose to use grenades instead, the first step should be to make sure
that you actually have some. Chances are you'll need to go to Yellow Pete's
gunshop. Take note that grenades aren't cheap, so you'll probably end up losing
money, since you won't blow up enough cars to break even. If you're trying to
turn a profit (versus just having fun), you're better off sticking to guns.
Anyway, once you have at least two or three grenades, go to a nice area where
there isn't any police interference. A long straightaway will work fine. Stop
one lane of traffic by blocking it with your car. You can also kill drivers to
stop up multiple lanes for a greater effect. Wait for traffic to pile up behind
the idle vehicles. If you're using multiple lanes, make sure they line up in
order to maximize the number of cars in the smallest possible space.
When you feel comfortable, and there are no cops around, move back to a safe
distance (seriously, get far away), and lob a grenade somewhere near the middle
of the sea of cars. If you haven't before, use this as a time to practice
learning Tommy's throwing arc. If you use the correct angle and power, he can
actually throw pretty far. Anyway, wait until the first grenade goes off.
Whatever car is closest to the point of detonation is almost guaranteed to have
blown up. In addition, many nearby cars will also have been severely damaged.
Launch your second and third grenades on either side of where you put the first
one. When they go off, you should notice significantly more cars exploding,
because they're taking the residual damage from the first blast. Continue until
you've expended all your grenades, then wait. That's right, wait. It's a pretty
good guarantee that if you launched at least three grenades, and have already
had four or five cars blow up, more explosions are on their way. In that sea of
cars before you, at least a few are at terminal damage. They're in an unstable
state and will explode randomly and without warning. If you've thrown all those
grenades and blown up all those cars, I can almost assure you that if you wait,
a few more will explode.
5. Health
"Health: You can heal yourself at the hospital, but it will cost you money"
You have probably already noticed, either from a map, or from driving around,
that there is a Hospital in Lost Heaven. If you don't recall, it can be found
in northern New Ark, right at the intersection leading onto the Terranova
Bridge. Simply get out of your car, walk up the steps, and you should see a
health cabinet with a "$1000" sign above it. If you have at least $1000, use
the kit to be fully healed. If you don't have enough money, you'll be informed
of that fact, and won't be able to heal. It's really that simple.
6. Weapons
"Weapons: You can buy weapons at Yellow Pete's gunshop"
Given my e-mail inbox, it seems that many people are confused as to where
Yellow Pete can be found, especially since he's not marked on the map. If you
haven't yet played mission 19, it's quite possible that you may also be unsure
of his location. For reference, his shop is in Hoboken, behind the Twister
Theater. Looking at the map, you can see that's in far western Hoboken. Simply
drive there and get out of your car. You should see a metal door opposite the
small parking lot. Open it, then head down the hallway and stairs into Yellow
Pete's gunshop. Unlike in the single player missions, in Freeride, Yellow Pete
is nowhere to be found. However, most normal weapons in the game are available
in this room. Here are the prices (see the "Weapons" section of this guide for
more information on the weapons themselves):
(in order of price)
Knife: $10
Baseball Bat: $10
Colt Detective Special: $10
S&W Model 10 M&P: $30
Colt 1911: $50
S&W Model 27 Magnum: $100
Sawed-off Shotgun: $500
Pump-action Shotgun: $500
Grenade (1): $1000
Molotov Cocktail (1): $1000
Thompson 1938: $1000
U.S. rifle M1903 Springfield: $2000
Mosin-Nagant 1891/30: $2000
Bucket: Not available at Yellow Pete's
Crowbar: Not available at Yellow Pete's
Knuckle Duster: Not available at Yellow Pete's
Plank: Not available at Yellow Pete's
Steel Bar: Not available at Yellow Pete's
To buy any of these weapons, simply go up and press action when next to it.
Since they are arranged quite closely together, you'll probably have to select
from the action button menu (the one that pops up when the game is unsure of
which action you're trying to take).
7. Vehicles
"Vehicles: By visiting Bertone's service station, you can pay to have your car
repaired"
Just like healing, this one is quite simple. Go to Lucas Bertone's service
station/auto shop and drive your car into the open garage. It'll close, you'll
lose $2000, and your car will come out like it's brand new. Now some of you may
be wondering why you'd pay $2000 to repair a car, when you could just ditch it
and steal a new one. Well, for the most part, that's a perfectly sound
strategy. Unless you're playing with the traffic slider turned all the way
down, you have a pretty good chance of seeing another car that you could steal.
However, the main use of the repair feature is for prototypes.
You see, when using prototypes, there's just that one car in the entire city;
there are no replacements for it. So if you get it blown up, you'll have to
start all over to get your prized vehicle again. This really only becomes a
issue if you're playing extended sessions of Freeride. There are two ways to
remedy this problem: Visit Lucas Bertone's shop, or use the next "objective."
8. Save
"Save: If you visit Salieri's Bar, you can save your game at any time."
Basically, if you go to Salieri's Bar and "use" the front door, you will lose
$2000, but your game will be saved. This is another great feature for playing
long Freeride sessions, or setting up great jump-in-and-play opportunities. For
example, you could spend a long time getting $8000, then stock up on guns and
grenades, and finally save your game at Salieri's. When you load up your game,
you'd be all ready to wreck havoc in the city, over and over, without having to
spend half an hour to re-make all that money each time you die.
Other than the price, the only real limitation of the save feature is that you
must be at Salieri's Bar. So if you really want to load your save and buy a new
weapon at Yellow Pete's, you're going to have to drive all the way over there
each time. Even though it ties you down to Little Italy, the save feature is
quite useful.
There are two more ways to spend your money that are not marked as "objectives"
but that are still worth mentioning.
9. Gasoline
Of all the money making/spending activities, this is probably the one you'll do
the least. Many people finish the entire game completely unaware that the gas
stations aren't just there for show. Yes, you can actually fill up your tank.
Simply drive to one of the three gas stations within the city (the one at the
Clark Motel IS just for show), drive in with your left side facing the pump,
and press action. You should get the option to "refuel." This will cost you
$500. Yes, $500 for a tank of gasoline. We'll ignore the fact that in 1930, you
could easily buy a new car for that much. It's all for the sake of balancing
the game mechanics.
Anachronisms aside, there are only two reasons that you should want to spend
$500 for a simple "fill 'er up." If you really want to keep the car you're
driving, you will eventually need to refuel. Like I mentioned before, this will
probably only apply to prototypes or other cars that won't be seen under normal
circumstances. However, to naturally empty your tank (it starts full), you have
to do quite a bit of driving. While this is certainly possible, it's far more
likely that you've damaged your engine.
Often, a hard front-impact collision causes the engine to start leaking gas. If
you can noticeably see your gas gauge decrease as you drive, chances are you've
damaged your engine. However, I wouldn't even recommend getting refueled, since
it won't fix the leak. If you really care about the car, immediately head for
Lucas Bertone's. Depending on how far away you are and how fast you're losing
gas, you may have to stop and refuel on the way. You will continue to drain
gas, but that extra tank might get you to Lucas'. Once you arrive there, you
better have the $2000 needed for the repair. If you do, then it's smooth
sailing until you crash your ride again. If not, you better make some money,
and fast.
One interesting thing about filling up your tank is that you can still do it
when you have $0. You actually go into negative figures. There's only one other
"activity" that allows your funds to go negative, and that happens to be the
final "objective."
10. Police Ticket
In the single player missions, if you got stopped by the police, Tommy would
just hand them an invisible wad of money from his bottomless pockets. In
Freeride, on the other hand, a police ticket will cost you. In fact, it'll cost
you $1000. I know the cops are corrupt in Lost Heaven, but that's one hell of a
speeding ticket. Like gasoline, a police ticket will still be paid even if you
have no money. If that's the case, you'll simply go into negative figures. That
might seem a little silly, but it's not that unreasonable. After all, it'd be a
scam if you were exempt from all fines simply because you were broke.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECAP
1. Taxiing: ~$200-$2000 (avg. ~$600) earned per ride taxied.
2. Gangster Killing: $500 earned per gangster directly killed
3. Speeding: $100 earned every few seconds of maintaining speed above 70 mph
4. Car Destroying: $100 earned per car destroyed (blown up, not sunk)
5. Healing: $1000 paid to heal fully at the hospital in New Ark
6. Weapons: $10-$2000 paid for weapons from Yellow Pete's (see above for
pricing list)
7. Repairing: $2000 paid to repair your vehicle to "good as new" quality
8. Save: $2000 paid to save your Freeride game
9. Gas: $500 paid to refill your tank (can go negative)
10. Ticketed: $1000 paid to pay police ticket for a minor offense (can go
negative)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11-HFC]

- Hidden Cars -
---------------
Note: All of this information also appears in the "Secrets" section, along with
an extra hidden car, found only in Freeride Extreme.
Hidden Freeride Cars:
All around Lost Heaven, a handful of unique cars are hidden in out-of-the-way
places. If you can find these vehicles, you're free to drive off in them,
because all of the hidden cars have their doors unlocked. So even if you
haven't unlocked the vehicle normally (by progressing to a certain part in the
main story missions), you can still drive them in Freeride. Best of all, I can
give you directions to each and every one of them (in alphabetical order).
Finally, I have two tips that are sure to help you if you're having trouble
finding any of these cars:
1. Make sure it's available in your location; some vehicles don't appear in
City-Small.
2. Check your radar. An unlocked, parked car is marked by a white rectangle on
your radar. If you're driving along and see a white rectangle other than your
own, it's either a car that you left there, or a hidden car.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOLT TRUCK
The Bolt Truck should be available in any of the three Freeride "city"
locations. This rare (though not very good) hidden car can be found in the far
southwest corner of the Works Quarter. Head onto the street that leads out to
the racing circuit. Go all the way until you're right on the edge between city
and country. Now turn around 180 degrees. Head back the way you came, but turn
right at the first intersection. Head south down this street, past the pumping
station and follow the road to the left. Continue this street until it turns,
but stop before you go around the corner. Get out of your car and walk towards
the factory. A Bolt Truck should be sitting there on a slightly raised
platform. Just climb up there to get to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRUNO SPEEDSTER 851
The Bruno Speedster 851 can be found in City-Night or City-Daytime, but not
City-Small. This classy sportscar can be yours if you know where to
look. Believe it or not, you've probably driven past it many times without even
noticing. Well, head over to Central Island and drive on the north-south main
arterial. You'll notice that this street is bisected by a two-lane, median-
divided road one block south of the West Marshal Bridge. About half a block
between the bridge and the bisecting street, you should notice a white
rectangle on your radar. Off to the right of the arterial is a small alcove
between two buildings. There should be a banner overhead that says "Ferrara,"
and a sign for the Star Hotel close by. Head inside and, low and behold, a
Bruno Speedster 851. As an interesting side note, this is the only one with
that color scheme that you'll see naturally in the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASSITER V16 APPOLYON
The Appolyon can be found in any of the three "City" locations. This rather
bizarre, custom-made Lassiter is hiding downtown, quite close to the Corleone
Hotel. To find it, go to the hotel and put your back (or rear end of your car)
to the front doors. Take two successive left turns, and you should see the
telltale mark on your radar. Dart right, into the small alleyway, then up the
ramp to retrieve your reward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASSITER V16 PHAETON
This vehicle can only be found in City-Night. Unlike the other hidden cars, you
probably won't have much interest in tracking this one down, becase the Phaeton
will already be in your Freeride garage by the time you unlock City-Night.
Furthermore, it's a fairly common car in the mid 1930s, so there'll be plenty
driving around. But, since this is the hidden cars section, I'm still going to
tell you where it is.
If you've played Mission 18: "Just for Relaxation," then you should know where
to find "the meeting place." In Freeride mode, that same alleyway hides the
Phaeton. Now if you don't know where that is, I can help. First, go to the
Works Quarter. Either follow the tram tracks or look on your radar, but find
where the tram stops and does a full turnaround (the end of the line). Go one
block east from here, where the road turns about 50-60 degrees to the
northeast. You should notice the rectangle on your radar by this point. Look
for two white doors right at the apex, or "elbow" of the turn. Just smash
through these, and you'll end up in "the meeting place" where your Phaeton
sits.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASSITER V16 ROADSTER
This car can be found in any of the three "City" locations. Salieri's personal
ride of choice can be yours, even if you haven't yet reached Mission 13: "Bon
Appetite!" Like many of the hidden cars, it can be found in the Works Quarter.
I'll give you two explanations of where it is.
1. Find your way onto the harbor road (the one that goes by the Lost Heaven
Port). Drive west until the street turns right (don't take the small, one-lane
alley in front of you). Follow the road to the right, and on a raised platform,
you'll find the Roadster.
2. If that wasn't clear enough, try these directions. Start at the very edge
of the city limits by the Lost Heaven Racing Circuit. Ignore the first turn,
but take a right at the second intersection. Go straight, then turn left.
In front of you, on a raised platform, is the Roadster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SILVER FLETCHER
This car is only available in City-Night and City-Daytime, not City-Small.
Morello's iconic vehicle is probably the most out of the way of all the hidden
cars. First, drive out to Oakwood. Now go to the southeast corner, and take the
road to Oak Hill. However, before you reach the series of switchbacks, you
should notice a dirt path on your right. Follow this road (slowly, there's no
need to fly off the cliff and die) to the lighthouse. Parked right next to the
building is a Silver Fletcher.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11-SED]

- Secret Doors -
----------------
One of the two secret doors in the game appears in Freeride mode. See the
"Secrets" section for more information.
SECRET DOOR #1 - Unlocks all Freeride options (excluding cars) and Freeride
Extreme.
If you want to unlock more Freeride options, such as traffic density or your
starting location, simply play through the main game. If, however, you're a
little impatient, this secret will instantly grant you access to all this
content.
Start a normal Freeride game in City - Small. Your destination is in the
southwest part of the Works Quarter. You should be looking for two small
parking lots. One is alongside the street, the other is a little farther back,
and has an awning overhead. Note that these lots are NOT marked on the map.
When you find them, head south, down the alleyway. When you see four boxes on
your right, stop. Look on the wall to your left and you should see a narrow,
yellowish door. Note that it doesn't look like a "usable" door; it looks like
it's part of the background. However, go up to it, and a "use" prompt should
appear. "Use" the door to unlock this secret. Note that you will NOT get any
feedback (e.g. "CHEAT ACTIVATED!!!"), but when you go back to the main menu,
you'll see all the things you unlocked.
Now to help you out, I will try to draw an ASCII map:
P = Parking lot
D = Door you need to "use"

Hopefully that enabled you to find the door. Now quit back to the main menu,
and you should have new options available in Freeride as well as the entire
Freeride Extreme game mode.

*******************************************************************************
[12-OVR]
------------
- Overview -
------------
After you complete the main storyline, a number of new game materials are
unlocked. One such item is the Freeride Extreme game mode. FRE is not all that
entertaining in and of itself, but completing certain tasks will unlock some
very high-end cars for normal Freeride.
When you start up Freeride Extreme, you'll be treated to the normal Freeride
loading screen (a map of Lost Heaven with a crumbling cigarette next to it),
then find yourself inside a house. More specifically, you're in Tommy's house
in Oakwood. This building is equipped with:
Health Kit (100 health) - On the wall. This is an infinite kit, meaning that
it is not "used up" when you heal.
Save Point - Using the door next to the health kit saves your game as "Freeride
Extreme - Home." Note that this only keeps one save slot; your
previous save will be overwritten.
Garage - Out back, behind your house, is a garage where you can store the cars
you unlock throughout Freeride Extreme. It already has a Thor 812
Cabriolet FWD when you begin your game. For reference, you can open
and close the garage by using the small switch on the central pillar
between the two doors.
Now let me explain the mechanics of Freeride Extreme:
If you explore the city, you will notice that it is devoid of both police and
enemy gangsters (save for a few specific locations, where missions take place).
What this means is that you will have very few opportunities to get weapons.
Most of the missions are related to driving, rather than shooting, but for
those that aren't, save your shots. You start with a Colt 1911, loaded 7/21,
and can pick up a few weapons later on (also, the occasional carjackee will be
armed), but for the most part, you will not be doing very much shooting in FRE.
As soon as you walk outside, you'll see a man across the street waving at you.
Go over and talk to him, and he will "speak" to you by giving you an objective.
New Objective (0): There are 19 identical men to me in the city. Each one of
them will give you a task. If you succeed you will receive bonus cars. If you
need a hint, stop by the lighthouse.
Each challenge is started by talking to a man who's waving his hands around
just like this one. At that point, your game will be saved "Freeride Extreme -
Subquest." When you complete the mission, you'll get a note (objective),
"Congratulations! Bonus car received!" and your game will be saved again (it
overwrites this subquest slot). At any time, if you return to one of these
men, even after you've completed their challenge, the game will overwrite this
slot (note that this only works if they are alive). This is the only way you
can save your game anywhere other that at your house.
Most of these challenges test your driving ability, usually by imposing
limitations on your vehicle or on the time you have to complete your objective.
There are a few, however, that involve activities not limited to a car. You may
also notice that many of the locations you visit are ones you have already seen
from a story mission. Since you've already completed the main game (unless you
used the secret door to unlock FRE prematurely), you're probably pretty
familiar with Lost Heaven by this point. As a result, you should have little
difficulty locating these places and navigating from one to another. That's a
good thing, too, since your success in these challenges is highly dependant on
these skills.
As the man tells you, you can stop by the lighthouse (in the far southeast
corner of the city) to "get a hint." When you "use" the lighthouse door, the
game will show you a view of a particular place in Lost Heaven where you can
find a challenge. Each time you get a hint, the view changes. Be aware,
however, that it does not change what it shows based on what challenges you've
completed. In other words, it may show you the starting location for one that
you've already finished.
If neither the lighthouse hints nor my descriptions are working for you, and
you're still having trouble finding the correct starting location, try looking
at a map. A few good ones can be found here:
http://mafiascene.com/modules/downloads/files/images/miscgoodies/gavels_fr-
fre_map.jpg
http://mafiascene.com/media/content/articles/free_ride_extreme_guide.jpg
When you finish one of these missions, you will be granted a new, usually high-
end prototype car. Not only can you drive this vehicle around in Freeride
Extreme, but it will also be unlocked for use in normal Freeride mode.
In addition to my descriptions, I highly recommend the following guides:

- Data Table -

As should be obvious by this point, I like to recap most of the information for
each section in a data table. However, since these missions can be completed in
any order, it really makes more sense for me to put this at the beginning of
the section.
This table will be set up with the challenge number, challenge name and car(s)
unlocked. Remember to use the challenge numbers only for reference, as they can
be attempted in any order.

________________

| IMPORTANT NOTE |
|________________|
The Freeride Extreme Challenges CAN BE ATTEMPTED IN ANY ORDER. You certainly do
not have to do them as listed below, and you probably won't. In fact, most
people start with the Speedy Gonzales mission, as it is only a block away from
your starting location. However, if you're running an older and/or unpatched
version of the game, it's recommended that you start with Challenge 2: "The
Invisible Man," as that particular mission can become glitched if you attempt
it after beating certain other challenges.
Okay. Here we go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-RTS]
---------------------------------
- Challenge 1 - Rooftop Snipers -
---------------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 1 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Rooftop Snipers |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | There is a sniper rifle in the car. Kill three enemy snipers to |
| | receive the car. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Manta Prototype |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Downtown - North end - One block southwest of the passenger |
| | train stop in Downtown is a tall skyscraper with a series of |
| | stairs in front of it. The man who starts this challenge is at |
| | the top of these stairs. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
This challenge is actually quite easy, but at first glance, it can seem nearly
impossible. What I mean by this is that sometimes the enemy snipers get lucky,
and you just get torn apart before you can even reach the rifle. However,
assuming they don't get more than a shot or two to land, run forward towards
the Manta Prototype in front of you, using any nearby pedestrians as cover.
A Mosin-Nagant is propped up along the right side of the car. Grab it, crouch
down, and immediately turn to the right. Looking through the scope, you should
see a gangster on top of the Post Office. Kill him as quickly as possible, then
turn back to the left (the same way the car is facing) and kill the enemy right
above the "Bad Guy Pale Dry" sign. You should be shielded from the third and
final enemy by the car, so take a breather.
This last target is another 90 degrees to your left, on the shortest of the
buildings. Use the third person camera to make sure you know where he is before
you expose yourself to his fire. Do your best to take him out quickly, but as
noted before, sometimes he just gets lucky, and you'll have to reload your
save. Anyway, you should now have a fancy new car and two more rounds of
ammunition. Also, the snipers will occasionally die in such a way that their
rifles end up falling to the ground. If you really want some more ammo, you can
search around the base of each skyscraper to see if this happened with any of
them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-TIM]
-----------------------------------
- Challenge 2 - The Invisible Man -
-----------------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 2 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | The Invisible Man |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Follow the invisible man who is trying to escape. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Bolt-Thrower |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | New Ark - The Morello Bar |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
As soon as you talk to the man, you will notice a faint figure appear to his
left. This is the "invisible man," even though you can obviously see him, if
only a little. Unlike some FRE challenges, this one is actually pretty
straightforward. It really is as simple as just following him around.
Straightforward does not mean easy, however, as the invisible man tries his
best to live up to his name.
As soon as the challenge begins, he will take off down the street to your
right. Almost immediately, it should become obvious that he is much faster than
you are. You could try to chase him in a car, but that's really quite
unnecessary. Your own two feet are more than enough to follow him, because
although he runs fast, he pauses frequently. Soon enough, your eyes will be
able to pick him up easily, and you should have little trouble keeping close
by. Follow him around the nearby area for some time, and he'll eventually lead
you to the New Ark passenger train station. The train will take a while to come
(as always). Follow the invisible man on board, and then depart along with him
at the first stop. Continue to follow him a little bit more, and you'll end up
right in front of your new car.
One note about this mission: I have read that in earlier (unpatched) versions
of the game, if there are any corpses in the game world, the invisible man may
not "function" correctly. As a result, it is advised that you do this mission
before any others (especially those that involve killing anyone). Also, it
should go without saying that shooting the invisible man is not advised.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-TSC]
----------------------------------
- Challenge 3 - The Sea Creature -
----------------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 3 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | The Sea Creature |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Save the innocent victim from the monster from the deep to |
| | receive a bonus car |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | HotRod |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Chinatown - Center square, northwest corner |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
Just to begin, let me make it clear that the time limit on this mission is very
stringent. You should not attempt it without using a very fast car (probably
another prototype you've already unlocked). Anyway, as soon as you talk to the
man, you'll get a view of your destination. This beach is just south of the
parking lot where Paulie's gun jammed in "You Lucky Bastard!" You are also
provided with an S&W Model 27 Magnum with 6 rounds of ammunition (on the
ground, at the man's feet).
Take the gun and immediately get in your car. I'm not actually sure if it's
faster to take the Giuliano Street Tunnel and the West Marshall Bridge, or to
go due east over the Terranova Bridge, and then directly south. Either way, you
won't have much time. Get out of your car, run down the stairs to your left and
shoot off the lock that is chaining the woman to the pole. Don't bother
shooting at the monster, as it will have no effect.
It can be quite a pain to hit the lock with your magnum shots. If you still
have some Mosin-Nagant ammo left from the first challenge (and don't mind using
it), you can probably shoot off the lock without even needing to go down all
the stairs and across the beach. Just use the scope, and you should be able to
hit it easily.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-AWS]
-----------------------------------
- Challenge 4 - Alleyway Shootout -
-----------------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 4 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Alleyway Shootout |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Kill all of the hoodlums in the alley to receive a bonus car. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Black Dragon 4WD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Works Quarter - A little west of the neighborhood's center - |
| | This is "the meeting place" from "Just for Relaxation." |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
As soon as you talk to the man, you'll notice that there are four gangsters in
the alleyway up ahead. Also take note that there is a fully loaded Thompson in
the corner in front of you. You may want to kill the two gangsters on the
balcony to your right before attempting to grab it, though. After getting the
Thompson and killing the four gangsters in your immediate area, continue
farther into the alleyway. When the path splits, watch for two more gangsters
on the balconies directly above you (one to the left, one to the right).
Keep going east, through the alley. Another three gangsters will run at you,
firing pump-action shotguns. However, since they're rather far away, even
though you have little cover, they probably won't hit you. Use your Thompson to
fire in quick bursts and you should be able to drop them with little
difficulty. At the end of the alley, you'll find your reward.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-UFO]
-----------------------------
- Challenge 5 - UFO Chasing -
-----------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 5 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | UFO Chasing |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Pursue the evil enemy from outer space |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Mutagen FWD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Works Quarter - West end of the T-shaped dead end in the middle |
| | of the neighborhood (directly north of the "Q" in "Works |
| | Quarter" on the map) |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
To begin, drive towards the alien who has appeared at the opposite end of the
street. When you get close, he will be beamed up into the UFO above him.
Quickly turn around and use the drive-by camera view to follow the UFO. Go
around the next block and you'll see the UFO again. When you get close, it will
take off down the street. Follow it. From this point on, you will be following
the UFO all around the city. The difficulty in this challenge comes from the
fact that it's quite easy to lose sight of your target. You can, however, still
hear it when you get close.
The rough path of the UFO is from the Works Quarter to Little Italy, then over
to Central Island, Downtown, to Oakwood, and finally out to the lighthouse. If
you follow it all the way out there, you'll have a reward waiting for you. One
note: This mission is timed, but unlike other FRE challenges, the clock is
somewhat more forgiving here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-FSC]
-------------------------------------------
- Challenge 6 - The Flame Spear Challenge -
-------------------------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 6 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | The Flame Spear Challenge |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Follow the route indicated but do not exceed the time limit. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Flame Spear 4WD, Flamer |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Works Quarter - South end, slightly west. This is where the |
| | truck (that you would later hijack) stopped in "Just For |
| | Relaxation." |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
Get in the Flame Spear 4WD and head off straight down the road in front of you.
You should notice a plume of maroon smoke not too far in the distance. When you
get close, a new plume will appear. Clearly, these smoke canisters are marking
your intended route. Follow them around the eastern side of the Works Quarter,
into Little Italy, up into Chinatown and across the Terranova Bridge. The path
will then lead you south through New Ark and Downtown, then east to Hoboken.
You will then loop back through New Ark, go over the Giuliano Bridge onto
Central Island and finally arrive at the Municipal Building, where you'll find
your reward.
Although time is tight on this challenge, it is not as unforgivingly strict as
in some other missions. Your main difficulty here will be learning how to
handle the Flame Spear. Just take all your turns slow and wide, and don't
hesitate to apply the brakes. With good driving and a little luck, you should
be able to complete this challenge.
Note that both the Flame Spear 4WD and Flamer are unlocked for Freeride by
completing this challenge. However, while the Flamer is also made available to
drive in FRE, the Flame Spear will become "fixed" (unusable) as soon as you
exit it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-DET]
-------------------------------------
- Challenge 7 - Detonation Delivery -
-------------------------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 7 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Detonation Delivery |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Drive this car to the specified location. But beware. It's |
| | loaded with nitro-glycerine and will explode if you crash the |
| | car! |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Masseur |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Hoboken - Unmarked parking lot a block north of the road that |
| | leads up into Oak Hill |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
Both this and the "next" challenge (those unlocking the Masseur and Masseur
Taxi, respectively) involve explosive trucks. Luckily for you, this mission is
not quite as difficult as the following one. Not so luckily, it is almost
entirely dependant on time, which will not be forgiving. Furthermore, the truck
is rather sensitive to collisions and will not hesitate to blow up if you
aren't careful with it.
You will have to find the exact route that works best for you, but the basic
idea is pretty simple. Drive down side streets until you reach the main
arterial, then take the Giuliano Bridge over to Central Island. Continue along
the necessary streets to reach the West Marshall Bridge. Unsurprisingly, cross
it into the Works Quarter. From here, follow your compass through an alleyway
(be careful, it's very easy to have a collision here) and all the way to your
destination, where you will find your reward.
The challenges in this mission are the clock and the truck itself, which has a
tendency to explode if you're not being gentle with it. Other than really
putting your foot down, you can try to alter your route slightly, if you think
that may improve your time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12-SPE]
-----------------------
- Challenge 8 - Speed -
-----------------------
/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 8 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Speed |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | There is a bomb in the truck. It will explode if you don't |
| | reach a speed of 34mphs or more in 30 seconds. If your speed |
| | drops below 34mphs the truck will explode. If you succeed in |
| | getting the truck to its destination you will receive a bonus |
| | car. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Masseur Taxi |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Downtown - Far southeast corner - This is where Paulie's gun |
| | jammed in "You Lucky Bastard!" |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
In this challenge, you have to drive the Bolt Truck Covered from your starting
location to your destination in the Works Quarter. You are required to
accelerate to 34 mph within 30 seconds of starting the engine. From that point
on, if you drop below 34 mph, the truck explodes. Nice reference to the movie
Speed, no?
First of all, you're going to want to switch your camera to the farthest zoomed
out one, so that you can actually see what's around you. The best path for you
to take on this mission is to go straight across the East Marshall Bridge, then
turn right. Go down the street until it ends and take a left turn onto the
divided road with the median in the center. Continue west until you make a
right-hand turn, followed immediately a left-hand turn onto the West Marshall
Bridge. Drive across it, then take a left at the third intersection. Keep
going, turn right, and drive to your destination.
This is a very difficult mission, so I will give a few tips. First off, work on
your turning technique. The truck is quite heavy, so it does not turn easily.
Try to take corners as wide as possible, because you simply cannot make tight
turns. At the same time, don't try to get your speed up as much as possible and
fly around the outside edge of a turn. Drifting is also a bad idea. Use the
sidewalks when you need a few extra feet, but avoid prolonged driving with only
two of your wheels up on the curb. Finally, you accelerate much faster when
moving in a straight line, so if you don't think you're going to make it out of
a turn, just straighten out and gas it, THEN try to adjust so that you don't
crash. Speaking of which, it should go without saying that almost any collision
will doom you to be blown up.

| Challenge | 9 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Creme de la Creme Redux |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | There is a bomb in this car. The detonator is in the plane. If |
| | the range between the car and the detonator becomes greater |
| | than 200m, the bomb will explode. The bomb will be deactivated |
| | when you reach a specific location and you will receive a bonus |
| | car. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Demoniac |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Hoboken - Far northeast corner (ignoring the train loop) |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
If you recall, in "Creme de la Creme," Tommy, Paulie and Sam chased down and
killed a fleeing Don Morello. More specifically (ignoring the alternate path),
they pursued him by car while he tried to escape in a plane. Well, in this FRE
challenge, the roles are somewhat different, though not reversed outright.
Here, you will be chasing after a plane in a Celeste Marque 500, which happens
to be carrying a bomb. The device will detonate if you fall more than 200
meters behind the plane overhead. Of course, you also get to listen to the
lovely, ear-splitting beeping noise of the bomb THE ENTIRE WAY.
When you're still learning where the plane actually goes, use the drive-by
camera to stay on it, even when it's not directly overhead. But to actually
succeed at this challenge, you'll need to drive very quickly and not hesitate.
It may take you a few tries to get the route down, but there is simply no room
for time wasted by trying to figure out where you're going. Follow the plane
straight ahead, then take a left. Continue over the Giuliano Bridge, but
immediately turn around at the Y-shaped intersection and take the Giuliano
Street Tunnel into Little Italy. From here, simply follow the plane around
another corner and down one final straightaway. Slow down a little before you
reach the end. When you near the Demoniac, the bomb should deactivate. Just
slow to a stop and claim your reward.
One note: It is actually possible to fail this challenge by getting too far
AHEAD of the plane. The only place I've done this is on the Guliano Bridge.
Just use the drive-by camera to make sure the plane isn't too far behind you,
and slow down a little, if necessary.

- Challenge 10 - Tunnel Vision -

/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 10 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Tunnel Vision |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Drive this car to the specified destination. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Crazy Horse |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Hoboken - In the small parking lot just east of Yellow Pete's |
| | shop |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
The objective simply tells you to drive "this car," a Trautenberg Racer FWD, to
"the specified destination." Your route will take you up north into New Ark,
then south into Downtown, and finally west over to Central Island. Your
"specified destination" is the police station at the south end of the island.
This is just a block away from where Tommy boarded the steamboat in "Happy
Birthday!" But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Your first target is just down
the street to the east. You'll soon find out, however, that the faster you
accelerate in the Trautenberg, the narrower the camera focus becomes. It's hard
to explain the effect in words, but once you try this mission, you'll
understand quite quickly just how distracting this distortion can be.
Although you have enough time to reach your destination, the clock will not be
as lenient as in many of the timed story missions. You will have to drive
quickly, and as a result, compete with the tunnel vision to actually get where
you're trying to go. It may just take a few tries to get the hang of driving
this car, but there are some tips I can offer.
First off, use the map - rather than what's on screen - to figure out when to
turn. When you're in full-on tunnel vision, it can be very difficult to see an
intersection before it's too late. Use the map instead, and you may have an
easier time. Also, slow down significantly before making turns. While the
Trautenberg is more than capable of taking some of these corners going 60+ mph,
it's very difficult to judge your speed and angle of approach when your view is
distorted. Finally, some people have found this challenge to be a little bit
easier using a different camera view.

| Unlocks | Bob Mylan 4WD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Oak Hill - About halfway down the easternmost road in Oak Hill |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
This challenge is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is drive to
different locations marked on your map, get out of your car, deactivate a bomb,
and continue. You're even provided you with a Thor 812 Cabriolet FWD, though
you'd be better off driving a prototype car, if you have one. The real
difficulty here comes from the time limit, which is stringent, to say the
least.
Starting off, run up the driveway and deactivate the first bomb. Get in your
car and drive southwest to Oakwood, where you'll have to deal with another bomb
in the central roundabout. Next, drive Downtown to the church (from "The
Priest") and take care of a bomb by the front door. The next bomb is right in
front of the city art gallery (from "The Death of Art"). Continue west to
deactivate the bomb by the railroad station, then do the same for the one by
the fire service pumping station. Head to the Salieri Bar and up the stairs in
Ralph's garage. You'll find a bomb here as well. The final bomb is a comically
oversized device, located near the road to Oak Hill (from Hoboken, not
Oakwood).

| Unlocks | Disorder 4WD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Works Quarter - South, slightly west, in a parking lot - The |
| | man is standing next to a white Celeste Marque 500. This is |
| | situated between challenges 4 and 6. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
This is another FRE challenge involving a Celeste Marque 500 and explosives.
Unfortunately for you, this one is much more difficult than Challenge 9. Here,
instead of the explosives being in your car, they are directly behind your
car...sort of. Essentially, explosions will constantly be going off behind you.
You must maintain a high speed at all times; otherwise you will be blown to
pieces in a matter of seconds. Your goal is to get from your starting point in
the Works Quarter to your destination on Central Island. You should recognize
it as the parking lot from "A Great Deal!"
There is no single route that you must, or should take. That said, there are
some considerations to keep in mind. Although you are timed, it is far more
important that your route allows you to maximize your speed than that it gets
you to your destination more quickly. In other words, the best route may be a
little longer, but require less reductions in speed.
All it takes is a single fishtail, spinout, or traffic collision, and your car
will be blown to smithereens. Just work on your corning technique and use the
horn to make other cars move out of your way. Luckily, your destination is only
one island away, so you don't have to keep this too long. Do not give up on
this mission. It's one of the most difficult challenges in Freeride Extreme.

/=============================================================================\
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Challenge | 13 |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Name | Coast to Coast |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Drive this car to the specified destination. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Speedee 4WD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Hoboken - East end - two blocks north and one block west of the |
| | road to Oak Hill |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
The main idea behind this mission is quite simple: Get your Trautenberg Model J
from your starting location all the way to the Fire Service Pumping Station in
the Works Quarter. However, this wouldn't be FRE without a challenge. In this
case, you will notice that your car is guzzling gas at an absurd pace.
There are three gas stations between your starting and ending locations, and
you will need to refill your tank at each one. But even that will not be enough
to complete this mission. As the name suggests, the key to this challenge is
coasting. When you have reached a decent speed, just let off the accelerator
and coast down the road. At lower speeds, you can shift into neutral for the
same result. As you would expect, this technique is especially effective when
going downhill.
When managing your fuel by coasting, you will also have to take into
consideration a few additional factors. For example, to minimize the amount of
time you have to lay on the gas pedal, try to make your turns as wide as
possible, and slide around the corner as much as you can. Also, don't let
yourself slow down too much, as it will take far more gas to accelerate from a
dead stop than from a moderate speed.
The route to your destination is fairly straightforward. Obviously, it needs to
include all three gas stations along the way. The first can be found along the
southern arterial that passes through Hoboken. It is right under the road that
leads to Oakwood. After filling up here and continuing to Central Island, you
should find yourself low on gas again. Re-fuel at the second station, which is
a block north of the Central Island passenger train station. As you make your
way west into the Works Quarter, you will need to refill your tank one more
time. Do so at the final station, which is at the south end of Little Italy,
near the West Marshall Bridge. At last, proceed from the final station to your
destination at the Fire Service Pumping Station in the Works Quarter.
As mentioned before, completing this challenge will require you to use the
correct techniques for minimizing your fuel loss. Slow, steady acceleration,
and frequent coasting are the main ones that you'll want to employ. Route is
somewhat important as well. Certainly, there's no reason to take an excessively
long, corner-filled and/or hilly path unless you need to.
After coasting your way coast to coast (oh, wordplay), claim your reward of a
Speedee 4WD.

| Name | Talkative Tommy |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Pick up the phone. |
| | [Answer] The phone booth close to the square in China Town |
| | [Answer the phone by] The tunnel exit on Central Island |
| | [Answer the phone by] The pier on Central Island |

|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Luciferion FWD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Little Italy - On the eastern arterial (running north-south). |
| | This is across the street from where Tommy was attacked in "The |
| | Running Man." |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
Follow the man's instructions and pick up the phone. It will direct you to
Chinatown, although you will not get a view of your destination nor a mark on
your map. That said, it is descriptive enough to give you a pretty good idea of
where you're going.
Quickly drive north to Chinatown and head towards the center square. Continue
down the road heading east, out of the square. You should be able to hear the
phone ringing. As you get about half way down the road, you should see an alley
on your left. Get out of the car and run through the alley. You'll see a phone
booth hiding behinds some boxes here. Run up to it and answer the ringing
phone.
From here, head south, back through Little Italy and take the Giuliano Street
Tunnel over to Central Island. As soon as you exit the tunnel, make two
successive right turns. The phone you need to answer will be immediately on
your right. It will next direct you to the pier on Central Island, located at
the south end. If you recall, this is where the party steamer was docked in
"Happy Birthday!" The phone you need to answer is situated at the corner of a
building just south of where the party steamer was. Quickly pull to a stop in
the parking lot and run over to the phone.
Next, head all the way up Central Island and across the Giuliano Bridge into
New Ark. Continue north until you reach the park. The phone you want is by the
building to the northeast. You're given significantly more time to get to this
phone than the others. That said, you still can't drive leisurely, because
you'll need that time to get to the final phone. After answering the phone in
the park, you'll be directed to your final destination: The church in Oakwood.
When you arrive, head into the cemetery. Follow the ringing sound, and you'll
find a miniature phone next to one of the headstones. Answer it to complete the
challenge. Your "objective" will be slightly different this time. It reads:
Congratulations! You've won a bonus car. It's parked near the tennis courts in
Oakwood.
Like many other FRE challenges, success is highly dependant on your ability to
drive around the city at high speed. As such, you will most likely want to use
a prototype car when attempting to complete this mission. Otherwise, it's
unlikely that you'll be able to keep up with the clock.

| Name | Led (Dropping) Zeppelin |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Objective | Drive this car to the specified destination. |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Unlocks | Black Metal 4WD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | New Ark - North end, right in front of the hospital |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
At some point during Freeride Extreme, you'll probably find yourself crossing
the Terranova Bridge. You should notice a very large zeppelin looming ominously
overhead. If you want to go head-to-head against this behemoth (it's not as bad
as it sounds/looks), head to the hospital in New Ark. The man here will provide
you with the utterly abysmal Bolt Ace Coupe and instruct you to get to the
other side of the bridge.
As soon as you drive onto the bridge, you will probably notice that the
zeppelin is trying to drop bombs on you. Well, needless to say, you can't
complete the challenge if you're dead. As if the Bolt Ace Coupe wasn't an
underpowered enough ride to begin with, if you accelerate far beyond 40 mph,
the engine has a tendency to die. As a result, you should probably turn on the
speed limiter.
So how do you, in a terrible car, going no more than 40 mph, avoid a hailstorm
of bombs? Well, as far as I can tell, this mission is mostly just a matter of
luck. Sometimes you just get annihilated the second you hit the bridge. Other
times, you get through practically unscathed. Another guide suggested driving
all the way on the left of the bridge, and you might as well as try this if
nothing else seems to be working.
It seems that the developers probably intended you to use the superramp set up
on the bridge, but this method hasn't worked for me any more consistently than
just pure luck.
There is another (sort of cheating) way to complete this challenge, though.
Before talking to the man to begin the mission, use another car to push the
Bolt Ace Coupe most of the way across the bridge, then go back and start the
challenge. In your much better car, race across to where you parked the Bolt.
Quickly swap cars and drive the Bolt to the end of the bridge to complete the
challenge.
However you manage to complete this mission, you will unlock one of the most
interesting cars in Mafia: The Black Metal 4WD. Unlike the other prototype
cars, the Black Metal is unbelievably slow. It is slower, in fact, than most
normal cars. So what makes it so amazing? Well, the car (more accurately, tank)
is plated in solid metal, has a massive plow on the front of it, is around 99%
bulletproof and damn near indestructible.

| Unlocks | Hillbilly 5.1 FWD |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Central Island - small parking lot just north of the Y-shaped |
| | fork in the main arterial |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
This is by far the easiest of all the FRE challenges, so don't sweat it. Follow
the first objective by running around the block. Don't worry about the clock;
you're given more than enough time. You should just be able to head down the
small alley to your right, then go around the block to your left, or vice
versa, if you prefer. The whole process shouldn't take more than 20 seconds.
However, I've occasionally had the game refuse to acknowledge the this was "the
block." If this happens to you, try going around the WHOLE block, which will
require you to go under the Giuliano Bridge. It's hard to describe the route
exactly, but this longer path should take about one minute.
When you return, you'll be instructed to do three "knee bends." All this means
is to crouch and stand up three times. Yes, it's that easy. Next, you'll be
told to pick up the box. Do so, then follow your guide around the corner. Keep
pace with him as he crosses the street and walks another few blocks. Be sure
not to get hit by traffic, or you may drop the box and fail the challenge.
He'll eventually lead you to a small parking lot in front of the Giuliano
Street Tunnel. When instructed, place the crate by using the action button when
the exclamation symbol appears (do NOT drop it using backspace, or you will
fail). There you go, your reward.
The only possible difficulty I could anticipate from this "challenge," would be
if the game refuses to give you credit for going around the block. As mentioned
earlier, if that happens, try going around the WHOLE block.

| Unlocks | Flower Power |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Oakwood - Southeast corner of the street on which Tommy's house |
| | is located |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
As soon as you talk to the man, Speedy Gonzales - in boxer shorts, a wife
beater, and with his feet literally on fire - will come running out of his
apartment (in front of you) and tear down the street. You have absolutely no
chance of catching him on foot. Luckily, there are a number of easy solutions.
Before talking to the man, you can block off Speedy's route using a car. When
he tries to run away, he'll be stuck. Just shoot him a few times and you'll be
done. Of course, that wastes ammo, and ammo is a scarce commodity in FRE, so
this method is not recommended. Instead, you're better off chasing him in a
car.
You'll notice that Speedy stops at the end of the street and waits until you
get closer before starting off again. Use this to your advantage and find
yourself the fastest car you can (most likely from your own garage). Drive
after him, try to keep up, and run him off the road...sidewalk, actually.
If that's not enough for you, there's an even easier way to beat him. As soon
as the challenge begins, ignore Speedy. Grab any car off the street and drive
AWAY from (around the corner in the opposite direction). Head north up this
parallel street and turn right at the corner. Drive up on the right-hand
sidewalk, and Speedy will run straight into your car. As long as you're going a
decent speed, he should die instantly. Now return to where you started, and
you'll find the Flower Power.

\=============================================================================/
This can be a very difficult mission if you don't know what you're doing and
don't have a good plan of how to accomplish what you need to. Like a few of the
other challenges, it will greatly benefit you to prepare things for yourself
ahead of time (i.e. before starting the challenge). In particular, you should
"plant" a good car by each Taxi. Since you will be repeatedly destroying your
means of transportation in this challenge, these extra cars will eliminate time
that you would otherwise waste searching for a new ride. By all means, try the
mission normally first. But if you find yourself running out of time, try
setting up some extra cars to give yourself an edge. I would once again suggest
using Gavel's amazingly informative FRE map, found here:
http://mafiascene.com/modules/downloads/files/images/miscgoodies/gavels_fr-
fre_map.jpg
Along with showing all the other FRE challenges, this map displays the
locations of the five taxis, and can help you figure out where to plant your
extra cars.
When you finally do begin the challenge, get into the nearby taxi and drive it
down the ramp to the water's edge. Before getting out, shift down to neutral.
If the taxi doesn't slide into the water of its own accord, get in another car
(such as one you planted) and lightly push the taxi over the edge, being
careful not to fall in yourself.
The game will now show you the location of the next taxi, though it will NOT be
marked on your map. For reference, your target is in the construction area near
the Twister Theater in Hoboken. Drive to the next taxi, get in it, and drive
back to the waterfront. Using the ramp nearby, you should be able to park the
taxi in neutral in such a way that it just rolls into the water itself; you
shouldn't even have to push it.
Head to the next taxi (Central Island - the street east of the Theater) and
position it near the water. Use your car to ram it gently over the edge.
Continue on to your next target, using whatever car you have available to you
(such as a planted one). You should be heading for the street a block north of
the Municipal Building in southern Central Island. The taxi should be in front
of the nearby State Capitol. When you arrive, drive the taxi down to the
harbor, where you can use a different car to push it into the water.
The final taxi will be sitting in the parking lot by the Harbor. Make sure to
take the one to your left (while facing them), as the other does not have a
bomb in it, and therefore will not count. Use the same strategy as before to
dump the taxi in the water nearby.

|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| Location | Hoboken - A few hundred feet up the road that leads to Oak Hill |
|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
\=============================================================================/
While not nearly as blatant a movie homage as the "Speed" challenge, this one
seems close enough that I feel comfortable calling it "Gone in 60 Seconds."
Either way, it involves you driving around in a number of different race cars.
You should also notice that you will not get map/compass markers for this
mission. You will have to return the cars "in the correct order" as shown in
the cutscene.
To begin, get in the Caesar 8C 2300 Racing that's on the truck in front of you.
Use the ramp to get up to the driver's side. Take this car out of the lot and
drive it west to the old prison (from "Election Campaign") at the north end
of Central Island. If you have plenty of health and a fair dose of insanity,
you can cut your travel time significantly by using the superramp to jump
across the water. All you need is a ton of speed heading down the main arterial
from Hoboken through Downtown. When you reach the massive ramp at the
waterfront, use it to soar over the river to Central Island. You'll get pretty
roughed up from the landing, but if you do it right, it can save you a ton of
time.
Anyway, once you reach the old prison, get in the Carrozella C-Otto 4WD and
drive it off the truck. Keep going a few more feet, so that there's plenty of
room behind it, then get out. Return to the Caesar and drive it up onto the
truck. Get out again, and finally go back to the Carrozella. Take this racecar
across the West Marshall Bridge and into the Works Quarter. Get off the main
road as soon as possible and take side streets until you get under the bridge
itself. Move the Brubaker 4WD off the ramp, drive the Carrozella up onto it
(easier said than done) and get in the Brubaker.
From here, just drive the Brubaker all the way back to your starting location
in Hoboken. At this point, your biggest enemy will probably be the clock. As
noted earlier, you can give yourself a significant edge - in terms of time - by
jumping the river in the first part of this challenge. Realize, though, that
this is a very dangerous option. If you're still running out of time, you
probably just need to practice getting the cars onto the trucks more
efficiently. Some of them, especially the Carrozella, can be quite tricky to
maneuver onto such a small space.

- General Questions -
---------------------
Most of these questions are ones that I've seen reiterated in countless forms
on message boards and my e-mail inbox. As a result, I've rephrased them as
succinctly as possible. Others are more specific, and come from a single e-mail
submission. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to organize this section very
coherently, so be prepared for a rather eclectic list of questions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"How do you win the race."
Answer:
One of the most common difficulties in Mafia is winning the race during the
mission "Fairplay" [Part 2]. If you are running the original, unpatced game
(version 1.0), there is a bug/glitch that will allow you to pass the race
easily. Consult the "Secrets" section for more information. It's more likely,
however, that you're playing on a patched game (version 1.1 or higher), for
which this exploit will not work. Whatever the case, I have five tips for
beating the race:
1. Reduce difficulty. In patched versions of the game, you can set the
difficulty at the beginning of the race. Obviously, for an easier time, change
the difficulty to a lower setting. Also, you may want to turn off damage, so
that Tommy doesn't die if you accidentally roll over.
2. Change your controls. Many people have said that rebinding your keys to the
numpad works better for control. Also, if you have a racing wheel (maybe pedals
too), definitely try to get that configured, as it will help you out
significantly.
3. Know the course. In the mission walkthrough for "Fairplay" [Part 2], I give
a very in-depth analysis of every curve and bump on the entire racetrack. Read
it, and become familiar enough with the course that you know exactly what kinds
of corners are coming up next.
4. Be careful. Do not be aggressive with your driving techniques. It's much
better to take things relatively slowly - make wide turns, brake more than may
be necessary, etc. - than to go for a world-record time and wreck your car in
the process. Assuming the difficulty isn't too high, the other drivers will be
cautious enough that you don't have to be flooring it constantly just to keep
up with them. Just be careful and don't use aggressive maneuvers. After all,
saving a few seconds by blasting through a turn is not worth the consequence of
crashing and having to re-do the entire race.
5. Practice. Some people are just talented drivers and will have little
difficulty with this mission. Others will have to try repeatedly to even come
close. Just practice more and more, and eventually, you'll be able to emerge
victorious.

Question:
"Where is the casino?"
Answer:
This is by far the most widespread (as well as irritating) hoax regarding
Mafia. For the last time, THERE IS NO CASINO IN MAFIA. The confusion stems from
a different game, also called Mafia, released for the Commodore 64 in 1986.
While stupid internet hoaxes are usually disregarded, reputable gaming sources
are generally trusted. Thus, when PC Gamer magazine, in the strategy section of
one issue, wrote "Mafia: Bet negative money in the casino and you'll gain money
when you lose" [which is a legitimate cheat for the C64's "Mafia"] accompanied
with a screenshot of "Mafia" [the one you're reading a guide for], many gamers
believed that there was a casino in Mafia, and you could gain money by betting
negative amounts. However, to reiterate, THERE IS NO CASINO IN THE PC, XBOX, OR
PS2 VERSIONS OF "MAFIA."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"Is there a multiplayer mode?"
Answer:
No. Despite original plans, a multiplayer mode for Mafia was scrapped
during the game's development.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"What alternate endings are there in Mafia?"
Answer:
Only one mission ("Creme de la Creme") in this game has a truly alternate
ending. The chase sequence in "Better Get Used to It" is close, since two
different cinematics can be seen, depending on when you take out your targets.
However, "Creme de la Creme" boasts two completely different paths, leading to
separate areas and challenges. See these missions' walkthroughs for more
information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"hi i have read your walkthrough for mafia but am struggling to get past
fairplay level. I have been on this level for 2 days and its doing my head in
lol, ive mastered the fast car 110mph plus on str8s and have found the fastest
route with no damage but only get as far as marshall bridge(1st bridge)before i
run out of time? still a fair way off Bertones. Ive read loads of walkthoughs
and nobody seems to highlight this problem. Starting to think there is a
problem with my disk, please advise."
(submitted by Catchcat)
Answer:
This problem is actually more common than it may seem. Many people have had
difficulty here because they are unaware that you are given one large block of
time to complete both halves of the mission. As a result, it should not take
anywhere near ALL of your allotted time to reach the racetrack and steal the
Carrozella. What's happening here is that people are wasting their time during
this first part, leaving themselves in a nearly impossible situation for the
second half of the mission. The solution is to reload a much earlier save (such
as when you first leave the Salieri Bar) and play through the mission without
wasting time during the first half.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"I pick up the 3rd passenger the "annoying bitch" & take the path to the
theater she asks but, when I get there she won't get out"
(submitted by Matt Siko)
Answer:
Unlike the other passengers you have during the mission "The Running
Man," this woman does not actually want to be let out exactly where she says.
Instead, she intends to dropped off across the street from the theater.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"In the optional Lucas Bertone mission after the main substance of "Omerta,"
you have to go out and beat up Stan, the bouncer at the Black Cat Bar. This
mission is a request from Lucas' friend Carlo. In the end of the mission "Bon
Appetit!", you have to go to the apartment of, and kill, Salieri's double-
crossing bodyguard, Carlo. We already know that the Salieri "family" knows,
interacts with, and is on friendly terms with Lucas Bertone (e.g. during
"Fairplay"). In addition, Tommy's multiple favors for Lucas are undoubtedly
appreciated, and help to bring him closer to Salieri. As a result, it isn't
difficult to imagine that Lucas would make more friendships with members or
employees of the Salieri family. Mafia doesn't have hundreds of characters,
only 20-30 or so named individuals with whom Tommy interacts. Due to this fact,
it seems increasingly odd that two characters would have the same name. Given
all this evidence, are these two Carlos the same person?"
(submitted by Bloviator [I can ask myself questions too])
Answer:
I don't think anyone really knows for sure, since you only get to see one of
the Carlos. However, feel free to put forth your own guesses.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"How do I use the scope?"
Answer:
Well, first of all, you need the right gun. Despite what many people seem to
think, although the Springfield is a rifle, IT DOES NOT HAVE A SCOPE. The
Mosin-Nagant is the only weapon in the game that has a scope attached to it. I
think that the rest of the confusion comes from the fact that the default key
for the scope is "R." Many people re-bind their keys to standard-FPS controls
(wherein R is reload) and forget to re-assign a button to the scope function.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"After picking up their weapons, what's the point of searching enemy corpses? I
never find anything?"
Answer:
Although this feature appears to be useless, there are a few points in the game
where you need to search an enemy's corpse. For example, the courtyard guard
has the key to the villa's side entrance in "Visiting Rich People." You must
retrieve it from his corpse. Similarly, if you kill the driver in "Just for
Relaxation," you'll need to take the papers off his dead body.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"What's the advantage of walking instead of running?"
Answer:
Walking is another of the game's features that isn't very useful except in a
few places. While you're able to walk at any time during a mission, if you so
choose, there's really never a need to do so. The only times you may not want
to run are when you're accompanying another character who's walking. I mean,
you don't HAVE to walk, you'll just look kind of stupid trying to keep up with
a disjointed stutter step. The only "walking situations" that come to mind are
the moonlight stroll in "Sarah," walking to the bank in Moonlighting," and
following the hooker in "The Death of Art."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"What's the use of Tommy's whistle?
Answer:
If you press the car horn button (default: K key) while on foot, Tommy will
whistle. Despite what many people think, you cannot use this to call for a car.
The ability to take a taxi ride is probably a feature that was scrapped from
the game. However, I've read that you can use Tommy's whistle to call your
allies over to you. I'm not sure if this is true (it was difficult to tell when
I tried it), but it certainly can't hurt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"Hey what's the deal with the end credits? They're ripping off Nirvana!"
Answer:
Unlike the period jazz that makes up the majority of Mafia's soundtrack, the
game's credits are set to the rap/hip-hop song "Gravesend (Lake of Fire)" by
the Lordz of Brooklyn. Oh, and before you get all high and mighty about this
remix being a ripoff, I hope you know that the song "Lake of Fire" was COVERED
by Nirvana. The original song was written by Meat Puppets. Not to mention, only
the chorus of Gravesend copies Lake of Fire; the verses are all original
material.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"How do you mod/edit the game?"
Answer:
There are a number of different ways to make alterations to Mafia; user-created
mods range from simple skin-switches to complete city-wide overhauls. However,
I personally know very little about the subject, and would therefore refer you
elsewhere. There is a strong and vibrant community out there dedicated to
making mods for this game. For a start, I'd recommend checking out MafiaScene's
excellent tutorials:
http://mafiascene.com/modules.php?name=content&cid=45
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"Are there any cheats for Mafia?"
Answer:
Mafia has no cheats, per se, but there are a number of secrets that can help
you throughout the game. For example, the secret doors found in Freeride and
Freeride Extreme unlock certain features prematurely. Also, some glitches (most
notably, the reload-roll bug) can be used to help in a tough firefight. See the
"Secrets" section for more information. If you're looking for straight-up
cheats, on the other hand, you'll need to download a trainer. The only ones I
know of are Trainer +3 and Trainer +19. You should have little difficulty
finding them online (as always, I recommend MafiaScene). Just make sure you get
a trainer that matches your version of the game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"Why won't Mafia run on my computer?"
Answer:
Sorry to be so blunt, but I will not address technical questions about this
game. Not only am I unqualified to answer them, but there are simply too many
factors to consider. The only advice I'll give is to make sure that your
computer meets the minimum system requirements. Also, I am not aware of any
problems related to running Mafia on Windows Vista. It should work fine. If
not, I'm sorry, but I'm not the person to ask.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"Why hasn't anyone made a movie out of this game?"
Answer:
There are a number of reasons that you won't find Mafia: The City of Lost
Heaven on the big screen. First of all, it's a rather under-the-radar game by a
fairly obscure developer (no offense, Illusion Softworks). It hasn't gotten a
ton of main-stream attention, even though it's been lauded by most critics.
Secondly, the game's been out for a number of years. Whatever buzz, hype, or
excitement existed when it came out has long since faded. Of course, there will
always be dedicated fans (myself one of them), but the mainstream media doesn't
care much for niche markets unless they're lucratively profitable. But most
importantly of all, the game is not exactly original.
Don't get me wrong, here; I think Mafia's story is engaging and compelling.
It's just that it borrows quite heavily from iconic mob movies. I mean, for
starters, it references The Godfather (in "The Whore"), The Untouchables (in "A
Trip to the Country"), Reservoir Dogs (in "You Lucky Bastard") and director
Martin Scorsese (in "Just for Relaxation"), just to name a few. Other sequences
are just a recapitulation of classic film moments, such as the gun hidden in
the bathroom, the phone booth assassination, or the car bombing. Even the
game's flashback structure - while an effective narrative tool - remains nearly
identical to the one employed in GoodFellas.
Beyond these similarities, Mafia is rife with gangster-movie cliches, such as
the good-hearted bad guy, the "loyal" sidekick, the naive love interest, the
"surprise" double-cross, or the bodyguard calling in "sick." Need more
evidence? How about the fact that Paulie is pretty much the same as Tommy
DeVito (Joe Pesci's character in GoodFellas). Look, I'm not trying to criticize
the game or say that it just ripped everything off. No, I understand that its
paying its tributes to the classics by including all these homages. All I'm
saying is that creating "Mafia: The Movie" would be difficult, when so much of
the game is filled with the icons of other films.
Of course, with Mafia II getting more mainstream attention, who knows. Maybe
the executives will pay their way out of all the copyright infringement
lawsuits that a movie would bring. But whatever happens, please don't let Uwe
Boll get his hands on it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"I think I've seen your guide somewhere online that's not listed as an 'allowed
site.' What's the deal?"
Answer:
With the advent of the internet, it has become increasingly difficult to
monitor or restrict the flow of information. This technology also presents a
number of gray areas regarding copyrights and fair use. I understand that my
guide appears all over the web in places it's not allowed. Wikipedia, for
example, ripped off a number of my descriptions (I say "ripped off" because no
one cited my guide, NOT because I wasn't consulted on the issue). I do try to
resolve these conflicts, but it's a never-ending battle.
A case can be made for the free dissemination of information, but it's
difficult to stand behind such an argument when it's your own hard work on the
line. Nevertheless, I do sympathize with the idea, even if it's somewhat naive
in practice. Attempting to make money off my work, on the other hand, is
completely and utterly vile. This document was made with the clear intention of
providing specific information to anyone interested, FREE OF CHARGE. In any
case, I do appreciate having illegal hosts brought to my attention so that I
can attempt to resolve the issue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"I found a mistake in your guide. Are you going to fix it?"
Answer:
Although I do spellcheck and proofread my work, it's easy for a little typo to
go unnoticed in 200,000+ words of text. That said, these things still bug me.
So if you do come across an error (especially a factual one), please let me
know. Before you write me an e-mail, however, make sure that the mistake is
actually something I wrote. Certain sections, such as the Official FAQ, the
Developer's Diary, or the Instruction Manual, are included in this guide
VERBATIM. That means that I have not corrected any errors within these texts
(and there are quite a few).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
"How did you make all the tables and fancy formatting in your guide?"
Answer:
By hand. Yes, with great difficulty and countless hours spent on formatting
alone, I did it all by hand. Since the margins were dependant on the text
within them, I couldn't even use copy and paste effectively. I really had to do
it all myself. The only exception to this is the box art, seen at the very
beginning of the guide and in the instruction manual facsimile. I used an ASCII
image generator to create that graphic. Everything else, though, I did
completely by hand.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS:
Q: When will MAFIA be released?
A: MAFIA has been available since 6 September 2002 - as has MAFIA Special
Edition, a limited edition of which there are just 5,000 copies.
Q: Will a demo version be available? If so, when?
A: Demo is available for download in downloads section.
Q: Will the German and English versions differ in any way?
A: The content of the German version will be exactly the same as that of the
English version. A very good team of experienced specialists are responsible
for the localisation of the German version. And for the voice recordings, we've
managed to get well-known speakers, in particular the German cinema voices of
Marlon Brando, Andy Garcia and Joe Pesci.
Q: How much will MAFIA cost?
A: The standard version is priced at 49.95 (RRP) and the special edition at
69.95 (RRP). The special edition comes in a different box and includes the
original solution book, a special MAFIA ballpoint pen and other extras
incorporating the MAFIA design.
Q: What sort of configuration do players need to be able to play the game?
A: The minimum requirements are: 500 MHz Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor,
96 MB RAM, 16x CD / DVD ROM, 1.8 GB free hard-disk space, 16 MB graphics card,
DirectX 8.1. The recommended hardware: 700 MHz or faster, 128 MB RAM, 32x CD /
DVD ROM, 1.8 GB free hard-disk space, 32 MB graphics card.
Q: Will players need a 3D graphics card? And if so, which one?
A: Yes, they will! GeForce2, ATI RADEON or superior graphics cards are ideal.
For full texture resolution, they will need either texture compression or 32 MB
RAM. But, with less high-resolution textures, the game also runs fast enough on
older TNT/TNT2 graphics cards with 16 MB RAM.
Q: On what platforms will be the game be available and when?
A: MAFIA has been developed for PC. We don't yet know about other versions.
Q: There has been a lot of news and rumours surrounding the game's engine. I've
heard that it's a revamped version of the H&D engine - or the same engine as in
H&D2. So which engine are you going to use?
A: We had originally developed the game on a newer version of the engine used
in the first Hidden and Dangerous, but we quickly found out that this didn't
allow us to implement everything we had planned for this game. So we decided to
develop a new engine especially for MAFIA. This was no easy decision, as it
meant postponing the game's release. However, you will definitely be able to
see the difference in the game's quality. We've called the engine "LS3D". Once
we realised just how powerful the new engine really was, we decided to use it
for H&D2 and possibly for other Illusion Softworks titles as well.
Q: To what extent does the completion of MAFIA depend on the development of
H&D2?
A: The completion of MAFIA is in no way dependent upon the development of H&D2.
But as we're using the same engine, we've co-developed or swapped some of the
technologies. So H&D2 and a few other IS games will use MAFIA's vehicle-physics
model, its system for crashes and some of its animation help programs. And, for
MAFIA, we'll use H&D2's particle system and a few other things from the game.
Q: Will the game use 3-D stereophonic sound?
A: Yes, it will. MAFIA will have stereophonic sound. We're also using EAX
technology for the widest variety of sound effects and the simulation of the
different acoustic environments.
Q: Is there force feedback support in the game?
A: Yes there is. You can adjust the sensitivity by selecting
Options/Controls/Other and then moving the sliders in the Force Feedback area.
QUESTIONS ON PLAYABILITY:
Q: What's the design philosophy behind the game?
A: We'd like to develop a game that is a constant source of fun to play - full
of unexpected turns and, for computer games, really unusual developments. It's
a combination of several already-established genres. We didn't set out to
develop a shooter in which a few characters go mad with machine guns. Instead
we wrote a story and then developed a game around this story. We've included in
the game everything we thought important for the story. So the game was not
developed as one where "the blue key fits in the blue lock". The main thing is
that it's fun - and, where possible, it should be intelligent fun...
Q: What's the storyline?
A: The game tells of the life and fate of a young taxi driver, whose taxi is
one day seized by some gangsters who are fleeing their adversaries. Tommy -
that's the name of our young taxi driver - manages to shake off the pursuers
thanks to his exceptional driving skills. Consequently, the Salieri family -
the family of the gangsters he has saved - offer him a job as a driver.
Initially, he turns down the offer, but when the pursuers track him down again,
destroy his livelihood - his taxi - and almost kill him out of revenge, he
feels compelled to reconsider the offer and accepts the job. The game then
follows the next ten years of his career within the family. We took our
inspiration from mafia classics such as "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas". The
entire story is told by Tommy with the help of flashbacks. Tommy has reached
the end of his career as a criminal and confides in a detective in the hope
that, by revealing valuable information, he will be put under police
protection.
Q: What's the aim of the game?
A: Unlike a number of similar titles, the game does not have a main aim. We're
trying not to develop any of the well-known scenarios where the hero has to
save the entire world. Instead we'd like to enable players to follow the life
of a guy who joins the mafia and experiences things that don't normally happen
to the average person. In a way, we've tried to reveal the philosophy or
motivation of a mafia gangster and make it comprehensible to our players.
Q: Does the game have an alternative ending?
A: No. The game has a very strong story - therefore, it's linear in design and
culminates in a fixed ending.
Q: Would you like to give players the impression that they're at the cinema?
A: Absolutely! That's one of our main aims. We have a real producer working for
us, designing the storyboards. We have a professional motion capture department
and experienced authors for the dialogue.
Q: How did you manage to capture the atmosphere of the day so well in your
game?
A: We accumulated a massive amount of literature, photos and films on the
architecture, fashions and cars of the day. We designed the buildings in our
city using the originals and the architectural styles of that period. We also
photographed typical clothing of the day. Our archives now contain several
thousand photographs. We also studied a number of gangster films very
carefully, including films from the 1940s (such as "Angels With Dirty Faces").
Our designers read through a mountain of specialist literature.
Q: How much dialogue is there within the game?
A: MAFIA will contain a relatively large amount of dialogue. We intend to bring
out the characters' motivation quite clearly, to give the players an
understanding of the individual characters and to allow players direct access
to the story.
Q: Are the missions linear or are players able to choose the next mission and
proceed in a different way?
A: Players can end some of the missions in a different way, but the result is
always the same. However, players can decide whether they wish to complete some
of the optional sub-missions. These give them the opportunity to gain bonus
vehicles or take part in various motor races.
Q: What sort of mission objectives will there be?
A: We've tried to include in the game as many activities of a 1930s gangster as
possible. Therefore, players can choose from a number of options, such as
collecting protection money, taking part in chases and shoot-outs, robbing
banks, smuggling alcohol, taking out crooks, stealing evidence or serving their
boss as a bodyguard. All missions are directly embedded in the action and drive
the action forward.
Q: Can you tell us how many characters have been developed for the game? With
how many in-game characters will players actually be able to interact?
A: There are roughly fifty characters within the game with a more or less
important role in the action. Apart from these, there are a few dozen other
characters who move freely within the city or other localities.
Q: What about the speakers? We know that Americans from New York or Chicago,
for example, speak with different accents - particularly if they have a strong
Italian background. Provided that the game takes place in cities like these:
have you used authentic voices for the characters?
A: Yes. We've tried to get the best actors, as the actors' performance is
extremely important for the overall impression of the game. Of course, the game
will also be dubbed into different languages.
Q: How are the cars used within the game? What about your physical model?
A: Players can use the vehicles to move within the city and the surrounding
countryside and to get to the places where they carry out their various
missions. In almost every mission, they have to travel from place to place,
often needing to make a fast getaway in tricky situations. In the city, there's
simulated road traffic controlled by the police. Players also have the option
of using trams or elevated railways.
The physical model on which the vehicles are based is extremely detailed. We
spent more than a year developing it. It allows players to execute almost every
conceivable manoeuvre with the vehicles. As well as the precise simulation of a
vehicle's engine, road performance and tyre wear, we have gone into even more
detail, taking into account the principles of aerodynamics and the effect that
the weight of additional passengers has on a vehicle's road performance. If,
for example, there are three rather corpulent people in a car, its performance
will not be the same as it would be if there were no passengers in the car.
Q: Which cars are used in the game?
A: Within the game there are around 60 different models manufactured by a wide
range of carmakers. We've tried to cover as wide a range of car types as
possible and so have a selection ranging from cheap and popular small cars to
trucks and saloons. It also includes sports cars that can reach up to 200 km/h.
Q: How is the damage to the vehicles modelled? Does a car show visible damage
when it hits a wall head on but is still roadworthy?
A: It does indeed. The damage to the vehicles is shown in real time. The
windows shatter and the individual parts, such as headlights, wheels and
bumpers, fall off. Any accident can also damage the car's engine or gearbox.
Q: Are the players themselves injured when a vehicle crashes?
A: Yes. If a player is involved in an accident, the extent of his injuries will
depend on the impact of the crash.
Q: What weapons are used in the game?
A: All of the in-game weapons are authentic and as close as possible to the
real thing in terms of their capacity (range, rate of fire etc.). The weapons
available in the game include a knife, Molotov cocktails, a Magnum revolver, an
Airweight pocket gun, a Model 10 Military & Police revolver and a Colt 1911. Of
course, there's also a Thompson 128 machine gun, a sawn-off shotgun, a pump-
action shotgun, a M1903 Springfield army rifle and the M1903-A4 US sniper
rifle.
Q: Are there any in-game fights where opponents use their bare hands?
A: Yes. The characters can box.
Q: The city in MAFIA is really big. Although it's an imaginary city, it's full
to the brim with actual buildings. Can you tell us more about this city? Which
city did you use as your model while you were developing it?
A: Our inspiration came mainly from the cities on the east coast of the USA,
such as New York and Chicago. We then tried to give the city an autumnal
atmosphere and autumnal colours. We built around 400 models of houses, some of
which are used several times and some only once. They can therefore serve as
points of reference. The city covers an area of about 10 square kilometres and
comprises a series of elevations and various quarters (China Town, Little Italy
etc.). The city also has a working tram and elevated-railway network that
players can use.
Q: Some of the screen shots show that the area around the city is rather rural.
Do any of the missions take place in this rural area on the edge of the city?
A: Yes. The city is surrounded by about 30 to 40 square kilometres of
countryside. A few of the game's missions are based there. The Need-for-Speed
style racing also takes place in the countryside.
Q: Do players control a team or just a single individual?
A: Players control just one single character. However, in some missions, they
are accompanied by computer-controlled NPCs. These fight independently,
complete various tasks and comment on the players' performance.
Q: Some aspects of the game remind us of "Driver". Did "Driver" influence the
development of MAFIA in any way?
A: Not really. Work had already begun on MAFIA before games such as "Driver"
and other similar products were announced. The game's concept has not changed
since these other products were released. For us, it just confirmed that people
want this kind of gaming concept. The only thing that annoys us a little bit is
the fact that we are no longer the first ones to have developed this kind of
game!
Q: Is the damage in the inside rooms modelled? Can players shoot through a
bedroom wall using Tommy's pistol, for example? Do bullets leave holes in walls
even if they don't go through them?
A: A definite yes to all three questions.
Q: Are the vehicles damaged by the impact of several bullets? Do the windows
break when they're hit by bullets?
A: Yes to both questions.
Q: Does MAFIA contain an editor? Will you support the mod community if any mods
are produced for the game? Will you release editor help programs for the game?
A: No. For the modelling of the individual levels, we're using expensive
professional programs and not our own editor. Our own help programs are
extremely complicated, making modifications in a user-friendly environment very
difficult. It would not necessarily be easy to use them either.
Q: Does the game allow players to switch to a first-person perspective?
A: A large number of people ask for this feature and a game in this perspective
looks pretty damn good - that's why we're keeping our options open on this one.
However, if we decide to offer this feature, players may not be able to see the
characters' hands and what they're holding in them (weapons).
Q: My car doesn't go as fast as it should!
A: There is a speed limiter on cars that you can set so you cannot drive over
the speed limit. Press F5 to toggle this control on and off.
Q: I can't save the game!
A: There is no manual save in this game. Instead, the game does an auto-save at
the end of missions, and occasionally during missions. If you fail, you just go
back to the previous save point.
Q: Where are the saved games stored?
A: All the saved games are inside a folder named savegame inside the Mafia
folder on your hard drive.
Q: How do I unlock options in the Freeride mode and/or Freeride Extreme mode?
A: The different cars and other options will be unlocked as you complete
missions in the regular game.
Q: Can I adjust the gore level?
A: If you select Options from the Main Menu, then select Video/Audio, there's a
slider where you can adjust the level of blood in the game.
QUESTIONS ON VIOLENCE:
Q: Will the level of violence be like that in one of these unnecessary wham-bam
games - or more like that in H&D?
A: In none of the missions will players feel obliged to injure innocent people.
On the other hand, the game is realistic - and, as in real life, nothing will
stop the players from doing whatever it is they're inclined to do. They can, of
course, shoot the people on the street or run them over in their car. However,
as in real life, they also have to face up to the consequences of their
actions. They're pursued by the police and there's a price on their head - but
this doesn't just apply to the current mission. If a player damages something
or tries to run over pedestrians, his car will be severely damaged and he
himself will be injured in the accident - the extent of his injuries depend on
the impact. I think this is the most realistic solution. The aim of the game is
anything but mere violence and we are certainly not glorifying the pointless
use of violence.
Q: Many people believe that a game like this one should contain a lot more
blood!
A: MAFIA is a bit different. You need to look around for something else - in
this game, you won't see anybody's guts flying through the air!

- Secret Doors -
----------------
SECRET DOOR #1 - Unlocks all Freeride options (excluding cars) and Freeride
Extreme.
If you want to unlock more Freeride options, such as traffic density or your
starting location, simply play through the main game. If, however, you're a
little impatient, this secret will instantly grant you access to all this
content.
Start a normal Freeride game in City - Small. Your destination is in the
southwest part of the Works Quarter. You should be looking for two small
parking lots. One is alongside the street, the other is a little farther back,
and has an awning overhead. Note that these lots are NOT marked on the map.
When you find them, head south, down the alleyway. When you see four boxes on
your right, stop. Look on the wall to your left and you should see a narrow,
yellowish door. Note that it doesn't look like a "usable" door; it looks like
it's part of the background. However, go up to it, and a "use" prompt should
appear. "Use" the door to unlock this secret. Note that you will NOT get any
feedback (e.g. "CHEAT ACTIVATED!!!"), but when you go back to the main menu,
you'll see all the things you unlocked.
Now to help you out, I will try to draw an ASCII map:
P = Parking lot
D = Door you need to "use"
_
| | W O R K S Q U A R T E R
|/

| | | | |
| |-| |------P--------------|
|_| | | |
| | D |
| | |
| | |------|
| | | |
|----------| | |
|------|
Hopefully that enabled you to find the door. Now quit back to the main menu,
and you should have new options available in Freeride as well as the entire
Freeride Extreme game mode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECRET DOOR #2 - Unlocks all bonus cars for use in Freeride
To access the second secret door, you'll need the Freeride Extreme mode. Now if
you've completed the game, you will already have unlocked FRE. However, you can
make this game mode available at any time by activating the first secret door,
using the information listed above.
Anyway, in Freeride Extreme, head to the northeastern end of Oakwood. If you
simply started a new FRE game, this should be quite close by, as you begin in
Tommy's Oakwood residence. When you get there, head south down the easternmost
street and stop as soon as you reach the first phone booth. Get out of the car
and walk up to the house on the right. As you near the door, you should get an
action prompt. Just as before, "use" it to activate the previously-locked
content. Once again, I'll provide a crappy ASCII map:
--------------|---------|---------|
| | | P = Phone Booth
| | D P| D = Door you need to "use"
| | |

| | |
O A K W O O D | | |
--------------O |---------|
| | |
| | |
|---------|---------|
| |
| | To Oak Hill -->
| |------------
|-------------------|
Now quit back to the main menu, and you'll find that all the bonus cars are now
unlocked (with the exception of the Caesar 8C 2300 Racing - See its entry in
the "Cars" section for more information).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14-HFC]

- Hidden Cars -
---------------
Hidden Freeride Cars:
Note: This information is identical to that found in the "Freeride" section.
However, there is an additional hidden car present only in Freeride Extreme. It
is described at the bottom of this section.
All around Lost Heaven, a handful of unique cars are hidden in out-of-the-way
places. If you can find these vehicles, you're free to drive off in them,
because all of the hidden cars have their doors unlocked. So even if you
haven't unlocked the vehicle normally (by progressing to a certain part in the
main story missions), you can still drive them in Freeride. Best of all, I can
give you directions to each and every one of them (in alphabetical order).
Finally, I have two tips that are sure to help you if you're having trouble
finding any of these cars:
1. Make sure it's available in your location; some vehicles don't appear in
City-Small.
2. Check your radar. An unlocked, parked car is marked by a white rectangle on
your radar. If you're driving along and see a white rectangle other than your
own, it's either a car that you left there, or a hidden car.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOLT TRUCK
The Bolt Truck should be available in any of the three Freeride "city"
locations. This rare (though not very good) hidden car can be found in the far
southwest corner of the Works Quarter. Head onto the street that leads out to
the racing circuit. Go all the way until you're right on the edge between city
and country. Now turn around 180 degrees. Head back the way you came, but turn
right at the first intersection. Head south down this street, past the pumping
station and follow the road to the left. Continue this street until it turns,
but stop before you go around the corner. Get out of your car and walk towards
the factory. A Bolt Truck should be sitting there on a slightly raised
platform. Just climb up there to get to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRUNO SPEEDSTER 851
The Bruno Speedster 851 can be found in City-Night or City-Daytime, but not
City-Small. This classy sportscar can be yours if you know where to
look. Believe it or not, you've probably driven past it many times without even
noticing. Well, head over to Central Island and drive on the north-south main
arterial. You'll notice that this street is bisected by a two-lane, median-
divided road one block south of the West Marshal Bridge. About half a block
between the bridge and the bisecting street, you should notice a white
rectangle on your radar. Off to the right of the arterial is a small alcove
between two buildings. There should be a banner overhead that says "Ferrara,"
and a sign for the Star Hotel close by. Head inside and, low and behold, a
Bruno Speedster 851. As an interesting side note, this is the only one with
that color scheme that you'll see naturally in the game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASSITER V16 APPOLYON
The Appolyon can be found in any of the three "City" locations. This rather
bizarre, custom-made Lassiter is hiding downtown, quite close to the Corleone
Hotel. To find it, go to the hotel and put your back (or rear end of your car)
to the front doors. Take two successive left turns, and you should see the
telltale mark on your radar. Dart right, into the small alleyway, then up the
ramp to retrieve your reward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASSITER V16 PHAETON
This vehicle can only be found in City-Night. Unlike the other hidden cars, you
probably won't have much interest in tracking this one down, becase the Phaeton
will already be in your Freeride garage by the time you unlock City-Night.
Furthermore, it's a fairly common car in the mid 1930s, so there'll be plenty
driving around. But, since this is the hidden cars section, I'm still going to
tell you where it is.
If you've played Mission 18: "Just for Relaxation," then you should know where
to find "the meeting place." In Freeride mode, that same alleyway hides the
Phaeton. Now if you don't know where that is, I can help. First, go to the
Works Quarter. Either follow the tram tracks or look on your radar, but find
where the tram stops and does a full turnaround (the end of the line). Go one
block east from here, where the road turns about 50-60 degrees to the
northeast. You should notice the rectangle on your radar by this point. Look
for two white doors right at the apex, or "elbow" of the turn. Just smash
through these, and you'll end up in "the meeting place" where your Phaeton
sits.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LASSITER V16 ROADSTER
This car can be found in any of the three "City" locations. Salieri's personal
ride of choice can be yours, even if you haven't yet reached Mission 13: "Bon
Appetite!" Like many of the hidden cars, it can be found in the Works Quarter.
I'll give you two explanations of where it is.
1. Find your way onto the harbor road (the one that goes by the Lost Heaven
Port). Drive west until the street turns right (don't take the small, one-lane
alley in front of you). Follow the road to the right, and on a raised platform,
you'll find the Roadster.
2. If that wasn't clear enough, try these directions. Start at the very edge
of the city limits by the Lost Heaven Racing Circuit. Ignore the first turn,
but take a right at the second intersection. Go straight, then turn left.
In front of you, on a raised platform, is the Roadster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SILVER FLETCHER
This car is only available in City-Night and City-Daytime, not City-Small.
Morello's iconic vehicle is probably the most out of the way of all the hidden
cars. First, drive out to Oakwood. Now go to the southeast corner, and take the
road to Oak Hill. However, before you reach the series of switchbacks, you
should notice a dirt path on your right. Follow this road (slowly, there's no
need to fly off the cliff and die) to the lighthouse. Parked right next to the
building is a Silver Fletcher.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden Freeride Extreme Cars:
CRUSADER CHROMIUM FORDOR
Although most of the game's hidden cars are found in Freeride mode, there is
one very special car that you can only get in Freeride Extreme. Go to the
construction site in western Hoboken and head towards the southeastern most
"building." One of its walls should be wooden, rather than made of concrete.
However, this wall is actually intangible, and you can pass right through it.
Inside, you'll find a blue Crusader Chromium Fordor. If you drive this car
around, you'll quickly notice what makes it so unusual. Every few seconds, a
different part of the car will disappear. Eventually, you'll end up with
nothing more than Tommy floating in midair over a large, car-sized shadow. I've
read that the effect can be canceled by crouching, but this never worked for
me. Nonetheless, this is a very interesting secret.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14-EGG]
---------------
- Easter Eggs -
---------------
In this section, I will briefly describe the many curiosities found throughout
Mafia. Some of these are aptly categorized as Easter eggs; others are just
little nuances worth noting. However, I will not spend as much time addressing
game bugs or glitches, unless they have a major influence on a mission.
For a much more thorough analysis of all the hidden treasures Lost Heaven has
to offer, I suggest taking a look at Underground's Easter Egg FAQ. You can find
it here:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/371671/20741
Please note that it's impossible to give proper credit for the discovery of
most of these Easter eggs, if only because this information appears in so many
places around the web.
Finally, it should be noted that THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMMENSE AND NUMEROUS
SPOILERS! DO NOT READ IT IF YOU HAVE NOT YET BEATEN MAFIA AND/OR DO NOT CARE
ABOUT HAVING MAJOR PLOT ISSUES SPOILED! You have been warned:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"An Offer You Can't Refuse"
- The $100 bill shown in the loading screen is clearly a modern print and not
an authentic 1930s note. This is one of the few anachronisms found in the game.
- As soon as the cinematic ends, quickly get out of your vehicle, turn around,
and go up to the enemy car. Although it's a Falconer (you don't learn how to
open Falconers until later) and Tommy isn't even a member of the Mafia yet, he
is able to carjack the gangsters. You can't use this to complete the mission,
though, as you will fail almost immediately after you pull the driver out
(since you abandoned Paulie and Sam). Still, this is quite entertaining.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Running Man"
- Just like in "An Offer You Can't Refuse," the bill(s) seen in the loading
screen are anachronistic, as they are obviously from a modern printing. They do
not look like an actual $1 note from the 1930s.
- In the console version, the first half of this mission is named "Taxi
Driver," which is clearly a reference to Martin Scorsese's film of the same
name.
- I read in another guide that if you look closely, you'll see that passenger
#3 is actually Sarah. While I agree that the character model is similar, the
woman clearly has a different voice.
- In the final part of this mission, the gangster in the brown suit carries a
baseball bat when he first tries to hit Tommy (during the cinematic). If you
turn around at some point during the chase and run back TOWARDS the gangsters,
he's still carrying a baseball bat. However, in the cinematic when they enter
the Salieri Bar, he has a Colt 1911. It seems unlikely that he would use the
bat to try to kill Tommy if he had a gun all along.
- When you enter the alleyway (right as the car drives out), look off to the
side and you should see a man taking a leak. He will continue to do this,
seemingly oblivious to the gangsters shooting nearby. If you punch him, he will
go running off, but keep urinating as he flees.
- As you run through the alleyways, listen closely to the people standing
around. One man, who seems to be waiting for someone, is saying "Where the hell
is she? I said three o' clock in the passageway." As you continue on, keep
looking around for more people. Near the end of the alleys (before you make
your final dash to the Salieri Bar), you should hear a woman saying essentially
the same thing: "Where is he? We were supposed to meet at three o' clock in the
passageway." Clearly, they were both supposed to meet each other at three o'
clock in "the passageway," but each thought the other was talking about a
different passageway. You can actually talk to the woman and quickly explain to
her what happened (though the gangsters will still be chasing you).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Molotov Party"
- You can actually go into the Morello Bar in this mission. However, if you do
so, the gangsters grow suspicious and will most likely attack you. That said,
it is possible for you to kill them all, giving you weapons, as well as freedom
from interference when you smash their cars.
- If Tommy uncovers and drives back to the bar in the Falconer parked here,
Falconers will be unlocked from this point on. Otherwise, the player must wait
until "The Whore" to unlock them.
- A small mistake: Even though you may park your car in the back lot of
Salieri's and enter through the back door, the cinematic shows you entering
through the front door.
- There's some controversy over whether or not the name "Molotov Cocktail" is
anachronistic. However, since no one e-mailing me is citing anything reputable
(i.e. they're all just sending me links to Wikipedia), I'm not going to spend
any more time worrying about it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ordinary Routine"
- Play through this mission until you reach the shootout at the Clark Motel.
Once you've gotten in through the back and killed most of the gangsters, head
down to the main floor. You should see that the door at the end of the hall
leads to a bathroom (after all, it's marked WC). Open this door, then
immediately turn left and go through the next door. In this room, go up to the
first stall and you will see the action icon appear. Right click to have Tommy
relieve himself. For an added effect, you can also hold a gun while doing it.
Try the magnum or the Thompson.
- When you first arrive at the Motel (after the cinematic), go up to the
Lassiter V16 Phaeton parked outside and shoot off one of its tires. After the
segment inside the motel, instead of escaping in that car, the gangster who
took your money will simply stand next to it. Not only does this make him
pathetically easy to kill, but it avoids the entire "Get Him!" part of the
mission.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fairplay"
- Despite how Ralph and Bobby both warn you about the cops in this mission,
there are actually no cops present during the night segment. Or at least I've
never seen one. Then again, if it helps you go faster, feel free to believe
that there are.
- When driving over the Giuliano Bridge, you might have noticed flashing lights
and a few cars parked on the side of the bridge. If you're interested, stop,
get out, and have a closer look. There is a man standing on the edge of the
bridge, about to commit suicide, and a number of people standing around him
(presumably trying to talk him out of it). If you push your way past the outer
ring of people, you can actually reach the suicidal man. In fact, you can even
punch him, causing him to stumble backwards, off of the bridge, but to remain
standing (floating on air).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Fairplay" [Part 2]
- If you're running Mafia version 1.0, there is a way to beat the race by
cheating. However, it is a glitch, not an intentional secret, and therefore,
was removed in versions 1.1 and later. Make your way down the opening stretch,
around the near-180 degree roundabout, and continue down the straight path.
When you come to a slight curve to the right, you should see a few gray
concrete barriers on your left. Slow down, and go between them, continuing on
the road behind them. Follow this path, ignoring all the "wrong way" warnings.
When you pass the sign for "Duniel," right before the path rejoins with the
main road, you should get a checkpoint time. As soon as this time flashes on
your screen, immediately hit the car reset button (Default: Numpad 0), and your
car will reset right behind the finish line. While you'll still have to wait
the three seconds before you can go, you will cross the finish line as soon as
you start moving. If you'd like, you can use this glitch on every lap to win
the race easily. Just make sure you don't accidentally flip your car over, or
you'll die and have to do it all over again.
- In addition to the adjustable difficulty, the patched version has a "Skip
Race" feature (available from the menu if you pause the game during the race).
However, it doesn't work like you might think. Skipping the race does NOT allow
you to progress to the next part of the mission. Instead, it simply takes you
to the race results screen, where it shows that you did not finish (DNF).
- Ever curious about the musical tastes of Mafia's developers? Well, you
can certainly get an idea in this mission. Look closely at the names of the
other racers (in the end-race results screen). Most (maybe all) of them share
names with famous musicians, mostly from Death Metal bands. Take a look:
Chris Barnes - Cannibal Corpse, Leviathan, Six Feet Under, Tirant Sin,
Torture Killer
Mark Greenway - Benediction, Extreme Noise Terror, Napalm Death
Page Hamilton - Gandhi, Helmet
Mick Harris - Lull, Napalm Death, Painkiller, Possible Recs, Quiot, Scorn
John Perez - Puncture, Rotting Corpse, Solitude Aeturnus,
Texas Metal Alliance
Bill Steer - Carcass, Firebird, Napalm Death
Peter Tagtgren - The Abyss, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy, Lock Up, Pain, War
David Vincent (AKA Evil D) - Genitorturers, Morbid Angel
Kirk Windstein - Crowbar, Down, Kingdom of Sorrow, Valume Nob
Thomas Warrior - Apollyon Sun, Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, Triptykon
(original information provided by Raven14, list completed using Wikipedia)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sarah"
- In the alleyway, as soon as the cinematic ends and the thugs rush at Tommy,
look to your right. On the wall, propped up against a crate, is a plank. You
can use it as a melee weapon during this fight, and it's actually quite useful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Better Get Used to It"
- Before entering the service station, you must kick open a red metal gate.
However, if you wait a while, Paulie will kick it open for you. I know that's
not much of an Easter egg, I just find it interesting.
- If you've played the mission before, then you know where you are "allowed" to
begin shooting. Technically, you can fire at the thugs in this area as soon as
they start yelling. You don't have to wait for them to shoot first.
- During the chase sequence, as you descend from Chinatown into Little Italy,
you'll see a truck and a car sitting in the middle of the street. Clearly, the
two just had an accident. You can get out of your car and talk to the people,
if you like. Just do it quickly, since you'll probably fail the mission. Also,
if you go over to the pieces of wood scattered about the road, you'll find that
you can pick one up and use it as the "plank" weapon.
- If you stop the two punks at some point during the chase and gun them down,
you'll get the normal cinematic. However, if you keep following them without
going in for the kill, eventually a slightly different cinematic will play
(same outcome, though).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Whore"
- The Corleone hotel is a reference to the Corleone family from "The Godfather"
novels and films.
- When you first enter the Corleone hotel, you should see a prostitute talking
to a sailor. When they get up, follow the woman, until she eventually leads the
man to a room. Stand up against the door and you can hear them having sex on
the other side.
- Immediately upon entering the hotel, go up to the prostitute and the sailor
(the same ones mentioned before). If you punch (but not shoot) the prostitute,
she will flee in terror, though none of the gangsters will attack you. The
sailor will now follow her around, as she runs screaming throughout the hotel.
- If you continually pester the Concierge about the woman in the picture ("The
Whore"), he will eventually threaten you with a sawed-off shotgun he claims to
have under the counter. Draw a weapon of your own, and you'll see that he's not
lying.
- From the hotel entrance, go around the right of the front desk. Continue
around behind the desk and go up to the concierge (on his left). Try to climb
on the small table up against the wall. Once on top of it, continually roll to
the side, and you should be able to roll past the concierge and onto the other
side of the counter. From here, you can go into the back room and take the key.
Since this is a bug, not an Easter egg, the scripting of the game is not
designed to handle you getting the key before alerting the gangsters (with the
attack on the manager). As a result, when you pick up the key, the manager will
become frightened, and flee to his office, but none of the other gangsters will
pay any attention, or become hostile towards you.
- Once you enter the hotel, go through the door to the right. From here, turn
into the door on the left side of this hallway (it's the only one on the left
side). Go up the metal staircase to the second floor, then exit the stairwell
and walk directly straight ahead. This door, though unmarked, can actually be
opened. Go into the room and turn right. On the small table, you'll find a
knife. Using this weapon, you can kill the concierge and the manager without
alerting the guards. In fact, the other man at the table won't even flinch when
you kill the manager.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Priest"
- As soon as the mission starts, you'll be outside, on the top of the church
tower. Turn around, and you should see a bucket hanging above you. Shoot it,
and it will fall down to the street below. Quickly run up to the edge and watch
it fall. The bucket will careen downwards, eventually hitting the head of a
worker standing below. In fact, the force is so great that it kills him!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A Trip to the Country"
- At the farm, when you are heading out to "find out what happened to the
alcohol shipment," none of the gangsters will be present. Even though they
should technically be hiding in the shacks and barns, there are no traces of
them until after the cinematic.
- Although it's not a clear homage, the subjects of this mission (bootlegging,
Canadian whiskey, police corruption, etc.) are at least vague references to
"The Untouchables."
- After Paulie uses the crowbar to open the barn, go over to where he dropped
this tool and pick it up. You will find that it is not in fact a crowbar, but
is actually the secret weapon "Steel Bar." Other than its appearance, this is
essentially the same weapon as the plank, found in "Sarah" and "Better Get Used
to It."
- In the optional Lucas Bertone side-mission, stay at Lucas' friend's house
after warning him. Eventually, the cops will show up and enter the house.
Notice that these are "special" officers. Not only do they drive a Lassiter V16
Police, but attacking them does not trigger normal police action.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Omerta"
- When chasing the Lassiter V16 Police out of the city, you might notice that
the driver is really quite bad. He will routinely collide with other vehicles
or objects, and often careen out of control.
- After you head out onto the airstrip, you should notice a Bolt Truck driving
towards you. The man who gets out of this truck is armed with a crowbar and
means business. He'll usually come at you first, though I've occasionally had
him just stand there and do nothing. Contrary to what I wrote in an earlier
version of the guide, having empty hands (i.e. no weapon equipped) will not
necessarily make him ignore you. He may still very well charge at you with the
crowbar.
- When you first head into the building where Frank's family is waiting, you
will notice a man making a telephone call. If you listen closely, you'll find
out that he's calling the police in regards to the massive shootout that just
occurred. If he finishes his call, you'll have a full squad of officers to
fight when you head back to the terminal for Frank's tickets. However, if you
kill him before he finishes his call, no cops will show up at the airport.
- Inside this same building (where Frank's family is waiting), there is a woman
hugging a man. If you shoot and kill the man, the woman will turn around and
chase after you. This is the only woman in the game who will fight back, rather
than just cowering or screaming. It's really not that important, but is an
interesting note.
- In many of the guides I've read for this game, Frank's wife is referred to as
"Marge." However, reading the game's subtitles identify her name as "March."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Visiting Rich People"
- In one of the second floor rooms that you may pass through on the way to the
prosecutor's office is a woman (presumably the prosecutor's wife). She is
sitting at a dresser, talking on the phone. However, since she has a facial
mask on, she is unable to see, and assumes that you are her husband, returning
home for the night.
- I recently discovered a much faster method for getting through this mission.
If you take the key from the first guard's corpse, you can get in to the villa
through the side door (to your left). Assuming you move quickly, you shouldn't
have to deal with any more gangsters, and can reach the safe in record time.
Alternatively, if you don't have the key, you can ask Salvatore to open the
door for you. Still, I've kept the more detailed solution in my walkthrough,
just so that the player can experience more of the villa.
- Technically speaking, stealing the prosecutor's Silver Fletcher is an
optional path. It is possible for you to return the way you came and leave in
your original car. However, since this is much more difficult than just taking
the Fletcher, this "optional path" is all but required.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A Great Deal!"
- Once you arrive at the parking garage, go and talk to the man in the booth to
your left. While he seems friendly, if you shoot at him, he'll quickly grab a
pump-action shotgun and return fire.
- The whiskey dealer in this mission is named "Bill." However, in one of the
cinematics, Paulie identifies him as "William Gates." Is this a joke aimed at
William "Bill" Gates, the head of the Microsoft corporation? Who knows?
- On the middle floor (the one with the fenced area in the middle), look behind
a white Schubert Six to find a hiding gangster, but more importantly, a box of
grenades. These will make the rest of the mission significantly less
challenging, as difficult tasks (such as clearing the blockade) can now be
completed with ease.
- If you have any grenades left after clearing the parking garage, you can
attempt this trick. As soon as you leave, turn to your left and throw one or
more of your remaining grenades at the group of gangsters milling about. If you
kill them all before they get in their cars, you won't have to fend off any
attacks while riding back to the warehouse. Note that you can actually do this
with any weapon, it's just much easier with grenades.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bon Appetit!"
- Given how much the gangsters are shooting at Salieri and Tommy, the simple
wooden table that they hide behind seems remarkably strong...maybe it's just
me.
- While most of the gangsters' positions make sense (strategically), one does
not. Why should there be a gangster in the upper balcony of the building next
to Pepe's? He has no line of fire into the restaurant, and if he was supposed
to be a sentry, he has only a very limited line of fire to protect the main hit
squad's flank. Additionally, he has no cover from below, meaning that if you
hug the wall, you can easily get a clear shot up at him, without him having a
chance to stop you.
- In the optional Lucas Bertone mission after the main substance of "Omerta,"
you have to go out and beat up Stan, the bouncer at the Black Cat Bar. This
mission is a request from Lucas' friend Carlo. In the end of the mission "Bon
Appetit!", you have to go to the apartment of, and kill, Salieri's double-
crossing bodyguard, Carlo. We already know that the Salieri "family" knows,
interacts with, and is on friendly terms with Lucas Bertone (e.g. during
"Fairplay"). In addition, Tommy's multiple favors for Lucas are undoubtedly
appreciated, and help to bring him closer to Salieri. As a result, it isn't
difficult to imagine that Lucas would make more friendships with members or
employees of the Salieri family. Mafia doesn't have hundreds of characters,
only 20-30 or so named individuals with whom Tommy interacts. Due to this fact,
it seems increasingly odd that two characters would have the same name. This
raises the question: Are these two men named Carlo actually the same character?
- At Carlo's apartment complex, after killing your target, a few of his buddies
will rush you. While they mostly have melee weapons or weak guns, one has a
unique weapon: the steel bar. As I mentioned earlier, it's quite similar to the
plank weapon in "Sarah," and is only found one other time in the game (in "A
Trip to the Country").
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Happy Birthday!"
- When you arrive at the docks, if you try to board the ship, the man guarding
the gangplank will stop you, asking for an invitation. However, upon your
return, dressed as a sailor, he lets you pass freely. Apparently, he didn't get
a good look at Tommy's face before. After all, if Tommy really had been a
sailor, he would have said so, rather than just leaving and mysteriously coming
back in uniform with no explanation.
- From the docks, look at the Lost Heaven Queen (the steamboat). All the
"people" onboard are not only immobile, but upon closer inspection, are
actually just two-dimensional pictures (like life-sized posters of people).
- Once you're on the boat, head up to the main (second) level. Go into the
dining cabin, and to the bar at the far end of the room. On the left side of
the bar is a glass of wine. If you drink a few glasses, Tommy will become a
little tipsy and lightheaded. This dizziness effect will remain for some time,
especially if you try to drink more wine quickly. However, if you have too
much, Tommy will remark that "there isn't time for that."
- Another "secret weapon" can be found on the party steamer. The bucket that's
required to clean the bathroom can actually be used as a melee weapon. With it
equipped, Tommy holds and swings the bucket with his left hand, and punches
normally with his right.
- There's quite a bit of interesting dialogue if you listen to the other
passengers on the ship. For example, there's one man on the lower level who
complains about his seasickness. Maybe that's why the bathroom had to be
closed. Also, a group of men and a group of women (on opposite sides of the
boat) are talking about a couple: "Did you see that dame?" "Did you see that
Hunk?" This is reminiscent of the "three o' clock in the passageway" incident
in "The Running Man."
- The gun hidden in the bathroom is a reference to The Godfather.
- If you wait for the councilor to end his speech and return to his room, you
can slip inside. Although his guards will instantly attack you, it's still
interesting to get an inside view of his room.
- You don't need to be on the upper deck to assassinate the councilor. I
recently discovered a very effective alternate strategy (all credit to the
members of MafiaScene for coming up with this one). When it's time to carry out
the hit, descend to the lowest deck, then climb the raised gangplank at the
very front of the ship. Go as high as you can without falling off, then turn
around so that you face the rest of the boat. When the councilor delivers his
speech, you have a perfect line of fire into his back. While it may take a few
shots, he should still go down quite easily. On top of this, his bodyguards are
unlikely to hit you from that distance. Finally, when you're ready to escape,
Paulie is just down the ramp and to your left.
- Even though it's not recommended, you can complete this mission without
having to clean the bathroom. In fact, if you don't pick up the bucket, you
won't even be able to. Now if you return the key to the lifeguard, he'll
eventually go and check on your work, only to find that you didn't clean a
thing. On the other hand, if you don't give him the key back, he'll come hunt
you down, asking why you didn't give him the key. In either case, he'll shove
you, accidentally dislodging the Colt Detective Special you're hiding and
revealing you as an assassin. There are, however, a couple ways around this.
First, if you drop the gun somewhere (make sure no one's around), he'll just
shove you and walk off. Then go pick up the gun and wait for the councilor.
Also, if you do all these steps very quickly, the councilor should start his
speech before the lifeguard gets to the bathroom. Just carry out the hit and
leave.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You Lucky Bastard!"
- The car bomb assassination attempt is a mob movie staple, found in such films
as The Godfather and Casino. In fact, most of the failed methods are homages to
famous movies.
- Play until you get to the third assassination attempt, where Paulie tries to
kill Sergio when he's standing outside with a group of his fellow gangsters. In
this segment, the hit fails because Paulie's gun jams. However, if you get out
of the car (and you will probably fail the mission, so do this one fast), go to
his discarded Thompson on the ground. You will find that it didn't actually
jam, it was just out of ammo.
- Once you reach the harbor, you should see a large train running along the
edge of the docks. One section has four very large explosive barrels. Upon
shooting them, the nearby gangsters will be caught on fire. One will try to put
himself out by diving into the water. The other will simply burn to death.
- In the Lucas Bertone side-mission, your drive to the doctor is a vague homage
to one of the first scenes in Reservoir Dogs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Creme de la Creme"
- While Morello will usually turn left into the airport, some of the time
(about 20-25% for me), and for a multitude of (mostly unknown) factors, he will
continue straight. Follow him up the winding paths, up and up to the top of the
cliffs. As long as you don't fall too far behind, you won't fail the mission.
When you reach the incomplete bridge, a cinematic will play, in which Tommy
rams Morello's car off the bridge, killing him. This is the only true
"alternate ending" in Mafia (excluding the pseudo-alternate conclusion of
"Better Get Used to It").
- If you performed the alternate ending, make your way down to where Morello's
car is. You can circle around the long way, or you can try to ride your car
down the mountain cliff (be sure to brake, so as to avoid careening into the
water). However, upon reaching the flaming wreck of his car, you will find it
to be intangible. Very odd.
- If you do the normal ending (where Morello turns left at the airport), your
car will die as soon as you reach the parking lot. Doesn't it seem unusual
that Sam is able to fix it in less than 30 seconds, especially since there is
no mention of him having any mechanic/automotive skills?
-In the optional Lucas Bertone side-mission, follow the Celeste Marque 500 home
instead of having a shootout with its owner. Remember where he goes and parks
his car. After you've beaten the main story and unlock Freeride Extreme, you
will recognize that he drove to what is Tommy's House in FRE.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Election Campaign"
- While many of Mafia's loading screens are rather anachronistic (e.g. "An
Offer You Can't Refuse" and "The Running Man"), the one for this mission is
actually correct. It shows a period American flag with only 48 starts (since
neither Alaska nor Hawaii was a state in 1938).
- When you first reach the prison, there is a man blocking the manhole cover
you need to access. Depending on what you do to him, there will be different
outcomes at the end of the mission. If you kill him and leave the body where it
is, you will have four cops to deal with at the end of the mission, and a
Lassiter V16 Charon (Hearse) will also show up. If you just injure him, only
two cops will show up, but he'll be ratting you out to them. However, if you
drop your guns before exiting the prison, they'll let you go, and won't attack
you. A third option is to kill him and dump his body down the manhole, thereby
eliminating the evidence, and leaving you free from police interference at the
end of the mission.
- The "special" type of police is featured in this mission (you may recall them
from "A Trip to the Country"). If you don't take care of the worker when you
first arrive at the prison (see above), you'll have to face some of these guys.
Not only do they wear different clothing, but also unlike normal officers,
fighting with these men will not give you an arrest warrant or put you in a
police assault state.
- When you reach your sniping vantage point (from which you're supposed to
shoot the politician), look in the water close to where you are. You should
spot a man standing on a boat. If you shoot him, he will fall off, making a
huge splash. This is completely useless, but mildly entertaining, nonetheless.
- In the optional Lucas Bertone side-mission, you gain access to the Lassiter
V16 Appolyon. In other Easter Eggs, the developers put in references to Metal
bands (see "Fairplay" [Part 2] and "Freeride Extreme"). As a result, this car
is most likely a reference to "Apollyon," a demonic entity cited frequently in
Black Metal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Just for Relaxation"
- Some of the men at the harbor seem incredibly suspicious of you, no matter
what you do. That's not really a secret or anything, I just thought it was
worth noting.
- The boxes that you have to steal in this mission are marked "Scorsese
Imports." This is clearly a reference to film director Martin Scorsese, who
made Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas to name a few.
- It's supposedly possible to steal the crates while the chief is out taking a
leak. Personally, I've never been able to finish before he returns and calls
for the guards, though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Moonlighting"
- In Paulie's apartment, look on the wall for a picture of a flower. If you
shoot it, it will double in size. This Easter egg is very bizarre, but
completely useless.
- In Intermezzo 4, Tommy told Norman about Don Peppone, the man under whom
both Salieri and Morello served some years back. However, he appears as an
Easter Egg in this mission. When you're visiting the bank for "reconnaissance,"
approach the first desk on the left, and listen to his conversation. He talks
about building a theme park in Hoboken.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Death of Art"
- In Paulie's apartment, the same Easter egg from "Moonlighting" still works.
- In this mission, if you kill Yellow Pete, his door guard, or Lucas Bertone,
you won't get a game over screen. Since this is the last mission, they aren't
"needed" anymore, so the game lets you kill them. It's nice to see this kind of
attention to detail from the developers.
- Sam's attitude towards Tommy in this mission, while sympathetic in words,
seems rather "evil genius-like" in action. For example, why does he need to
drop all the money around Tommy except for dramatic effect? Why does he run
away screaming, while sending waves of gangsters at Tommy? Just a thought...
- The design of the Art Gallery is based heavily on the Kunsthistorisches
Museum in Vienna. Since I don't live anywhere near there, I'll just have to
take Wikipedia's word for it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Epilogue"
- When the Salieri gangsters ask "Thomas Angelo?" Tommy replies "Yes?" too
naturally. He had lived in the witness protection program for at least 15-20
years. Even despite his old tendencies, he would at least have had some shock
or disbelief from being called his old name.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Freeride"
- It should be noted that the prices of most services in Freeride are rather
anachronistic. Paying $500 for a tank of gas or $1000 for a speeding ticket is
ridiculous by TODAY'S standards; there's no way that's realistic for the 1930s.
- There are a number of special cars hidden throughout the city in Freeride
mode. Each is unlocked, meaning that you can drive these vehicles even if you
haven't yet acquired them in the main game. See the "Hidden Cars" section for
more information.
- If you are choosing a car for Freeride and the car has multiple color
options, you are given the choice of what color you would like it to be.
However, there is a little peculiarity (which may be a glitch/programming
error) in which the last available color cannot be selected. Cars painted with
these colors can still be found driving the streets of Lost Heaven, they just
cannot be chosen as your starting vehicle.
For example, all Bolt Ace models exist in blue, dark blue, green, brown, and
red, and each of these can be found driving around normally. However, if you
choose a Bolt Ace as your starting vehicle in Freeride, you will be unable to
select a red model.
- One of the most interesting Easter eggs in Mafia is the "dog's head glitch."
I don't know all that much about it, but I think the basic idea is that every
once in a while, the game will spawn a pedestrian with a dog head instead of a
human one. I've read that this only occurs near the construction site in
Hoboken, and since that's the only place I've ever seen it, I can't claim
otherwise. There is also a way to get the dog's head as a weapon, but it
involves forcibly removing it from the torso by way of grenade. As usual, I'm
going to direct you to the knowledgeable people over at MafiaScene, since they
probably know more about this interesting phenomenon than I do. Just search for
something like "dog head" on their forums, found here:
http://www.mafiascene.com/forum/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Freeride Extreme"
- Many references can be found in the names of prototype cars. The Black Metal
4WD is an eponymous reference to this demonic Metal subgenre, while the Bolt-
Thrower is named after a famous Death Metal band. Some are a little more
ambiguous, though. For example, is the Crazy Horse really a reference to the
Sioux chief, or just to the fact that the car wheelees easily? Also, the Bob
Mylan seems like a nod to Bob Dylan, but that wouldn't exactly fit in with the
theme of Death Metal. Others are just too vague to clearly identify a
reference. I mean, look up "Black Dragon" or "Manta" on the internet and try to
find just one meaning. Then there are cars like the Flower Power, whose
reference just seems self-explanatory.
- As already noted in their respective sections, some of the Freeride Extreme
challenges are likely movie references. Most obviously, Challenge 8 is an
homage to Speed, while Challenge 19 may have been inspired by Gone in 60
Seconds.
- Although most of the game's hidden cars are found in Freeride mode, there is
one very special car that you can only get in Freeride Extreme. Go to the
construction site in western Hoboken and head towards the southeastern most
"building." One of its walls should be wooden, rather than made of concrete.
However, this wall is actually intangible, and you can pass right through it.
Inside, you'll find a blue Crusader Chromium Fordor. If you drive this car
around, you'll quickly notice what makes it so unusual. Every few seconds, a
different part of the car will disappear. Eventually, you'll end up with
nothing more than Tommy floating in midair over a large, car-sized shadow. I've
read that the effect can be canceled by crouching, but this never worked for
me. Nonetheless, this is a very interesting secret.
- While driving around Lost Heaven in Freeride Extreme mode, you may have
noticed a few very large ramps scattered throughout the city. Not only are
these superramps highly entertaining to mess around with, but they can be
helpful in saving you time. For example, you can make Challenge 19: "Gone in 60
Seconds" much easier by jumping the river from Downtown to Central Island.
Anyway, here are the superramps:
Downtown: Right next to the water, along the southern arterial coming
from Hoboken
New Ark: On the waterfront, north of the Giuliano Bridge but just south
of the bridge that takes the passenger train across the river
New Ark: On the Terranova Bridge, a little ways west of the hospital
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
- Although Mafia has all sorts of bugs and glitches that are mostly
inconsequential, one in particular can be very useful. When you are reloading,
anything that interrupts Tommy will automatically finish the reloading process.
For example, if you are hit by gunfire, your new clip will be loaded
instantaneously. Climbing an object while reloading will have the same effect.
Of course, neither of these actions are particularly convenient for the middle
of a firefight. But not to worry; there's one move that trumps them all. The
side roll (double tap left or right while crouching), will not only move Tommy
out of harm's way, but will interrupt your reload, instantly refilling your
clip. Note that none of these moves actually save ammunition, they just allow
you to reload faster.
- Another bug allows you to dramatically increase your rate of fire. Although
this seems like it could be very useful, it's difficult to implement in
practical settings. Still, it's worth trying. These instructions were taken
from an article I wrote for the Mafia Union, located here:
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/read_article.php?topic_id=23380594&union_i
d=2320
Anyway, here's how you do it:
1. First off, go to your options and make sure that whatever key you have
assigned to "Jump" is a large key, such as the spacebar (this isn't
required, it just makes the trick easier).
2. Next, load any game. The only requirement is a firing weapon of some
kind (i.e. not melee or throwable). Decide what weapon you'd like to use.
The slower the weapon fires normally, the more drastic and amazing the
change will be. A pump-action shotgun is probably the most impressive
example.
3. Aim where you intend to fire, and begin walking backwards. At no
point should you release the "Move Backwards" key.
4. Press and hold whatever button you have assigned to "Fire Weapon"
(probably the left mouse button). It's critical that you hold down the
button.
5. Immediately after, or even at the same time that you hold down fire,
press your jump key (again, I'd recommend setting it to the spacebar).
6. As long as you're still moving backwards and holding down the "Fire
Weapon" key, the rate at which your weapon fires is determined by the
spacebar, not the mouse. Essentially, each time you press the spacebar,
your weapon will fire. By rapidly pounding on the spacebar you can get
your weapon to fire incredibly quickly.
Note: The only problem with this trick is that it will most likely
decrease your accuracy. Aside from pounding on the keyboard, the recoil
from certain weapons wasn't designed for rapid fire, and as a result,
requires significant compensation on your part.
Read the full article for an analysis of this trick, weapon-by-weapon. Once
again, here's the link:
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/read_article.php?topic_id=23380594&union_i
d=2320
- You may notice that if you press the car horn button (default: K key) while
on foot, Tommy will whistle. Despite what some people claim, there is no way to
hail a taxi and/or use a cab service in this game. If that was a feature at one
time, it was scrapped at some point during development. However, I've read that
Tommy's whistle can be used to call your allies to your side. I haven't been
able to confirm this (I had mixed results), but it certainly can't hurt.
- The narrative flashback format of the game, coupled with Tommy's frequent
voiceovers, are highly reminiscent of GoodFellas.
- I read this elsewhere and thought that I should mention it at least once in
my guide. Many of the characters in the game talk about Ralph being "dumb,"
"stupid," "a complete idiot," etc. In the 1930s, it was not understood that
conditions like his (stuttering) are not indicators of mental retardation.
- While driving in Lost Heaven, you may notice the few gas stations found
around the city. Although they can refuel your cars, they can also be put to
more destructive uses. Shooting the gas pumps will cause a powerful explosion
that will likely kill any passerby. Running over the pump with a car will have
the same effect, though it will likely destroy your vehicle in the process.
- Although I will admit there are many references to Metal bands throughout
Mafia, there is one claimed association which I cannot support. I read that the
names for the characters Tommy and Don Morello originated from guitarist Tom
Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, System of a Down, etc.). Sorry
Wikipedia, but that seems like a pretty big stretch to me. For one, those bands
don't quite fit in with the Death and Black Metal that makes up the rest of
these references. On top of that, the names just seem too common to make that
kind of an assertion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[14-RCN]
------------------
- Real Car Names -
------------------
If you are even slightly acquainted with cars from the 1930s, then you are
probably aware that most of the vehicles in Mafia are based directly off actual
car models, and look almost identical to the real thing. However, you should
also have noticed that the names of the cars in the game don't quite match the
names of the cars in real life. For the most part, only the manufacturer's name
is changed, though sometimes there are certain other differences.
So, for the sake of you car aficionados, or just curious readers, I've compiled
a list of every car in Mafia, along with its real life counterpart (if
applicable). These aren't all perfect, but they should be close enough to steer
you in the right direction if you want to do more research on any particular
vehicle. Many thanks to the community of MafiaScene who helped me out in this
endeavor.

- Condensed Walkthrough -
-------------------------
While my main walkthrough is quite lengthy, I understand that some people do
not need such a high level of detail. In this section, I will provide an
EXTREMELY brief walkthrough for each mission. I won't tell you what guns to
use, when to heal, or even bother explaining what's going on; I'm just covering
the essential steps to complete the mission. That also means no Lucas Bertone.
Be forewarned, as THIS SECTION CONTAINS NUMEROUS AND MAJOR SPOILERS. DO NOT
READ IT IF DON'T WANT TO RISK HAVING PARTS OF, OR THE ENTIRE STORY SPOILED FOR
YOU.
"An Offer You Can't Refuse"
Drive like crazy to lose your pursuers. When they try to pass you, turn so that
they run into something on the street. Then floor it and get out of there. Once
you lose them, drive to the Salieri Bar.
"The Running Man"
Take each passenger where he/she wants to go. You have more than enough time,
so drive carefully. In the last part of the mission, follow the alleyways to
Salieri's and zigzag to avoid being hit.
"Molotov Party"
Drive to Morello's Bar and park nearby. Go around the back entrance and knock
out the gate guard from behind with your baseball bat. Smash up the cars, then
drive back to Salieri's.
"Ordinary Routine"
The first two stops should be no problem. When you get to the Clark Motel, go
around the back and climb the boxes to reach the second story. Enter the door,
kill the man on the toilet to your right, then gun down anyone who comes up the
stairs. Head to the first floor and kill everyone you see. After the cinematic,
take out the enemy here, then jump in your car. Chase the last gangster until
he crashes, then finish him off.
"Fairplay"
For this entire mission, drive as fast as you can without damaging your car.
Don't worry about the cops because they aren't around.
"Fairplay" [Part 2]
First off, head out to the racetrack. During the race, drive quickly, but don't
be too aggressive. It's easy to fishtail, spin out, and lose the lead in a
matter of seconds. Slow down before taking hard turns but floor it on the
straightaways. After the mission, go see Lucas Bertone, then steal the Lassiter
from in front of the Municipal Building.
"Sarah"
Follow Sarah until she reaches the alleyway. Beat up all the thugs until they
run away, making extra sure that none of them start attacking her.
"Better Get Used to It"
Talk to Big Biff in Chinatown, then head to the gang's hideout. Go to town on
the enemies during the melee brawl, just be careful that Paulie doesn't get
surrounded. Shoot your way through the second half of the mission, making sure
to take plenty of cover. Finally, chase the punks through the city until they
crash their ride.
"The Whore"
Drive to Hotel Corleone. Once inside, head left to the dining room. Kill the
man in the white suit here, then take out all the bodyguards that come after
you. Go behind the front desk and take the key hanging on the wall. Head to the
third floor, killing anyone in your way. Search the doors here until you
trigger a cinematic. Go to the top floor and into the director's office,
killing the last guard as you enter. Grab the documents, plant the bomb, and
run down the hallway.
On the rooftops, head to the fire escape and take out as many of the cops as
you can. Climb to the top and continue along the rooftops. Use the ledges and
makeshift stairs as necessary, and kill anyone you encounter. Head towards the
wooden stairs to reach the next area.
"The Priest"
Head down the stairs to the ground floor. Kill everyone in the church, being
especially careful for the snipers in the pulpit and the balcony. Finish off
the next wave that comes through the main doors, then steal a car and hide from
the cops until they stop looking for you. Return to Salieri's.
"A Trip to the Country"
First off, drive to the warehouse. When you arrive at the farm, go to the
opposite end and take out your ambushers. Return to Paulie, killing everyone in
your way. Lead him back to the barn, then cover him as he opens it. Take out
everyone here, then go to the top floor. When the police come, shoot them from
the loft window or as they ascend the stairs behind you. For the drive back,
snipe the enemy drivers to take out the cars. Finally, drive back to the bar.
"Omerta"
After your first two informants, go see Idiot Joe. Punch him until he talks,
then drive to Oakwood. Follow Frank's transport until it reaches the airport.
Kill everyone in the terminal, then make your way across the tarmac to the
buildings in the distance. Keep gunning down anyone in your way until you reach
Frank. After the cinematic, kill a couple more gangsters, go in the building
nearby, and talk to Frank's wife and daughter. Return to Frank and lead him
back to his family. Next, go back to the terminal near the entrance to the
airport and pick up the tickets on the counter. Watch out for cops. Take them
back to Frank, then drive to the bank and finally back to the bar.
"Visiting Rich People"
Pick up Salvatore and head to the villa. Sneak through the courtyard, either
avoiding guards or clocking them from behind with the bat. Once inside the
house, head upstairs and to the prosecutor's office. After the cinematic, take
the documents from the safe and head downstairs. Kill anyone in your way
(except the prosecutor) and have Salvatore unlock the Sliver Fletcher in the
driveway. Take him back home, then return to the bar.
"A Great Deal!"
Go to the top floor to meet Bill. After the cinematic, gun down all of the
goons shooting at you. Make your way down, level by level, systematically
killing everyone. At the bottom, take out the enemies behind the roadblock,
then mop up any survivors. Go back upstairs, grab the truck and drive it out of
the garage. Lose the tail, then head to the warehouse.
"Bon Appetit!"
First, drive the Don to Pepe's. Once all hell breaks loose, turn around and go
out the back door. Kill the gangster in the alleyway and take his Thompson.
Turn the corner and mow down the hit squad. Finish off any stragglers hiding in
the nearby building. Next, drive to Carlo's house, bust in, and follow him down
the fire escape. Kill the under-dressed double-crosser and his three friends.
"Happy Birthday!"
Drive to the docks on Central Island. When you're denied access, head into a
nearby building to find a sailor uniform, which will get you on board. Once on
the ship, head to the second floor. At the stern, you'll find the bathroom.
Return to the lower deck and pester the skipper until he gives you the key.
Grab the bucket from the room nearby, then clean the bathroom and retrieve the
gun. Return the key to the skipper and wait until the councilor starts his
speech. Nail him in the head, then run down the stairs to the main deck, where
Paulie will be waiting.
"You Lucky Bastard!"
Drive to the Italian Garden restaurant. After the hit fails, lose the tail and
get back to Salieri's. Next, pick up the bomb from Vincenzo and drive to your
destination in Oakwood. Wait until the gangster goes inside, then plant the
bomb. After the cinematic, drive Paulie out to your new destination, where
things go awry once more. Lose the second tail of the mission and head back to
the bar. After the next cinematic, follow Sergio to the Harbor. Move carefully
and methodically, killing everyone in your path. Use the explosive barrels to
take out the snipers as you make your way to the opposite end of the area.
Adjust the train tracks so that they lead towards Sergio's car. Kick out the
wooden block to release the train car towards the warehouse. When you approach
it, a cinematic will play. Afterwards, charge in and kill all the gangsters.
Finally, near the back of the warehouse, you'll find Sergio. Wait for him to
reload, then finish him. Kill the gangsters who arrive, then leave the Harbor
and head back to Salieri's.
"Creme de la Creme"
Drive to the theater and tail Morello as he makes his escape into the
countryside. If he turns at the airport, follow him until your car breaks down.
Get out and kill the two gangsters running at you. Chase his plane until Paulie
and Sam show up, then jump in the car and equip the Thompson. Fire at the
plane's engines until a cinematic plays. If Morello kept going straight, just
follow him, and you'll eventually reach a different cinematic. In either case,
drive back to the Bar.
"Election Campaign"
After getting your rifle, head to the prison and park nearby. Kill the man
standing around here, then dump his body down the manhole to avoid problems
later. Go down there yourself, then climb the nearby ladder. Move through the
prison, killing everyone you encounter. When you reach the top, snipe the
politician, then head down the main staircase to the ground floor. Shoot the
lock off the door across the courtyard, then go through it to exit the prison.
Finally, drive back to Salieri's.
"Just for Relaxation"
Follow your map to the meeting place, then head to the harbor. Tail the truck
that comes out and wait for it to reach a nearby warehouse. After it leaves,
hijack it and steal the driver's papers. Now go back to the harbor. Back your
truck up against the loading dock and talk to the man nearby. Follow his
instructions and ask the other workers for help moving the crates. When this is
done, talk to him again to make him leave, then load the Scorsese Import boxes
into your truck. Leave the harbor with your foot down and hightail it for the
meeting place. Help Paulie and Sam mop up any survivors, then drive the truck
back to the warehouse.
"Moonlighting"
Follow Paulie and listen to his plan. Afterwards, go visit Yellow Pete and get
a fast car, then pick up Paulie and finally drive to the bank. Kill any
security guards that you encounter as you head to the second floor. Take the
key from the director's office as well as the key from behind the main teller.
Head down into the basement and mow down anyone standing between you and the
vault. Once you get the money, run back to Paulie, then drive like crazy to
ditch the cops and make it to the Palmero Club.
"The Death of Art"
Run out of Paulie's apartment and head to Yellow Pete's. Stock up, then drive
to the Art Gallery. Kill everyone in the foyer here, then head up the stairs to
the right. Move through the next area cautiously, and try to get the drop on
your opponents. When you near the stairs, run to avoid being blown up by a
grenade. Then kill all the gangsters who emerge and go up the stairs. After the
cinematic, wedge yourself in a corner and shoot anyone who gets in your line of
sight. Carefully edge up the stairs, making sure to watch for enemies behind
you. Move into the large atrium and finish off anyone still alive. Head through
the doors to your right and mow down anyone you see. Keep going through this
area, clearing it out room by room. As you near the final staircase, run away
again, as another grenade will land by your feet. Ascend and kill the last
enemy here, then head to the balcony. After the cinematic, try to get the drop
on Sam so that you don't get torn to shreds. Repeat this a few times until he
runs away. Follow the blood trail and put another few rounds in his head.

Guide by Dan "I Got Your Mafia Guide Right Here!" Adams
On to Basics...
Basics
Getting Around Town
There are a few ways to traverse the sprawling city that is Lost Heaven. The
first and most obvious is walking. But I can tell you right now that you aren't
going to want to walk to any job. It'll take a long damn time to get anywhere.
There's even some public transportation available for use. Both the elevated
train and trolleys can take you around town, but they too take a while to get
anywhere and the stops aren't always going to coincide with your destination.
Still, it can be kind of fun to tour the city this way as you'll feel more like
a citizen. You can also feel free to hail a taxi, which can be done by pressing
the button that serves as your horn in the car.* But for all realists, this is
a big city and the best way to get around it is using a car of your own.
Thankfully there are a ton of different cars in the game. Actually getting to
use them all is a process of time. In order to be able to use a car, either
Ralph or Lucas Bertone will have to show you how to steal it. In the case of
Ralph, he'll always actually give you the new car to begin with. In the case of
Lucas, he'll actually just tell you where you can steal some of the better cars
in exchange for doing him a favor or two. Always do him a favor when he offers
in order to get that information. The cars he teaches you how to steal are
infinitely better than anything that Ralph will cook up for you.
Once you've learned how to steal a car, and in the case of those Lucas shows
you how to steal, you'll begin seeing them around town. You can steal any of
these at that point. If a cop sees you, he'll get mad. Just look around and
make sure no one is watching if you need some new wheels. When you bring a car
back to Salieri's Bar and park it in back, it'll be added to your collection,
from which you can choose a car to complete missions. You can replace any of
these cars at any time you'd like by simply talking to Ralph and removing one
from the lot to make room for another. You'll have a pretty good collection by
the end of the game as the lot holds 15 cars. You'll eventually have to discard
some of the early crappy cars.
There are a few spots that you should remember how to get to. Reference the
detailed map any time you need to plan your route. You should also remember the
routes back to Salieri's and take your time to find shortcuts. For instance,
when you're coming back to Salieri's via the tunnel, you can turn left
immediately at the top of the hill and cut across the park and through the
alley to get to the bar quicker.
Driving
Always take the time to remember some best routes for getting places quickly.
Remember which bridges will get you to which parts of the city faster. Remember
the streets you need to turn on and the landmarks around them so you can orient
yourself quickly in case you're in a car chase, which you will be several
times.
For PC Users: The PC allows for steering wheel support, joystick, and gamepad
driving, but it's honestly almost as easy to drive using the keyboard using
quick taps for minor adjustments. The reason for this is just that if you map
the driving keys to be the same as your foot movement keys, you'll be able to
get in and get going without fumbling for a different controller.
Actually handling the cars can be a bit tricky in general. These cars are not
modern sports cars. Handling is bad in most of the early cars, speed is not
great, acceleration is worse, and shock absorption is atrocious. But that's how
these cars were and as you progress through the game you'll get some new cars
that are much better in all of those aspects. Here are some things you should
remember when driving in Mafia:
This is not Grand Theft Auto. You can not go 800 miles an hour down the
street, slam into something and simply bounce off.
If you hit a curb, you'll pop up a bit in the air and if you're trying to
turn at the same time, you might just flip over or spin out. Taking turns
slowly is probably a better solution until you get a better handling car.
Tires can be shot out. Handling is really, really bad if that happens. You
should look for a new car if that happens.
Slow down before hitting sharp turns. Even the best cars are heavy and will
slide off of the road if you're going to fast around a turn.
Don't think that just because you're in a car, you're protected. You can
get shot while you're driving.
Remember that you can shoot while you're driving. It's fun and can get some
of the bad guys off your back.
Use your speed limiter when you don't want the cops to bother you.
Dealing with the Cops
Cops can be a big pain in the ass. You can see the cars on the radar by the
cars that are blue, but you can't see the cops on the side of the road. Half
the time you'll be able to just run away from the foot police and the ticket
will go away. But if you're caught by a car, it's probably just easier to pull
over and pay the fine with your imaginary money.
If you're speeding really fast, get in an accident, or run away from the police
for very long, the ticket marker will turn into handcuffs meaning that you're
wanted. You'll then have to outrun the police as they try to knock you off the
road. In order to escape, you'll have to swerve through traffic, smash the cop
cars into public transportation or poles, and then hide somewhere for the
wanted meter to decrease to nothing. Once the wanted meter is gone, you can go
back out into the world.
If you're on foot, you can always try to take public transportation to stay
away from the police and then get back out to steal a car and get where you're
going.
When you actually get into a firefight with police and kill one of them, you're
in trouble. It'll take longer to get them off of your tail and longer for the
wanted meter to go away and they'll fire on sight. Frankly, the chances are
good that you'll just have to count your loss and start over from the last
save.
One nice way of keeping away from the cops is to steal a cop car. There're only
a couple of instances where you can do this without being caught or actually
having to kill some cops, but it's possible. And when you do, you can feel free
to speed around like a madman. They won't pull you over for anything and the
car isn't exactly a bad one.
Things to remember about cops:
They will start firing on you if they see you with a gun* so make sure you
holster your weapons when you're on the streets.
Don't hit any pedestrians in your car or just punch them for fun when cops
are around, they'll arrest you.
Always use the controls to look around while you're stealing cars to make
sure no cops are present, they have a way of sneaking up on you when you're
not paying attention.
If you're in the middle of a chase with a bad guy, whether you're doing the
chasing or otherwise, don't stop for them.
The cops will only come after you. If you're in a gunfight with bad guys,
they'll always target you first, so try to keep your gunfights in secluded
areas if you have to fight on the street.
The Art of Fighting in the 30's
The weapons in Mafia are not the highly efficient killing machines that we have
today. They still work fairly well, but there are some rules for using them
that you should remember and some that are better than others.
Melee Weapons: These are a last resort unless the mission at hand states you
can't use a gun. They come in various forms, but the best is probably the bat
or the brass knuckles. The bat is best used to attack people from behind. If
you can hold down the button to power up your swing (as you can do with all
melee weapons including your fist), you can knock enemies out in one blow. The
brass knuckles are good because they can hurt a guy and your punches swing
faster than the bat. If you're fighting multiple opponents, you'll want to
strafe run around them in circles, swinging as you go. Hopefully you'll knock
guys out as you move.
Pistols: The handguns in the game are fairly diverse in power. The Colt
Detective Special is really not that special. It's the weakest and should only
be used if you don't have anything else or want to conserve other bullets. My
personal favorite is the Colt 1911. It has a great refire rate and is pretty
accurate at long distances. It also does a fair amount of damage and can reload
quickly. If you're just going for power, the Magnum will be your choice. It
takes a while to reload and doesn't fire as quickly as the 1911, but it packs a
whollop.
Shotguns: These weapons are powerful as hell, but to be fully effective, they
need to be used at close range. They also have other drawbacks. They take a
while to reload. The pump action shotgun has an incredibly long refire rate
making it bad for a long firefight. The sawed-off shotgun has a good refire
rate but only has two shots before needing reload. However, if you can get up
close on someone, one shot should be enough to kill.
Tommy Gun: There's only one machine gun in the game and it's the good old
Thompson. It fires a great amount of bullets quickly and has a 50 round
magazine meaning you can pump off a few bullets before needing to reload, which
will take a while to do. The main problem with the Tommy Gun is that it's
pretty hard to control due to the huge kickback. You'll actually have to press
down on the aiming reticle while you're shooting to keep the gun focused on the
target. But if you can do that, the Tommy can make quick work of a group of
enemies.
Rifles: There are two different rifles in the game. The more common one is the
Springfield. It's a good accurate gun with no scope that can shoot good
distances consistently. It has a long refire rate, but that's not usually a
problem as you're using it from great distances. The second rifle is the Mosin-
Nagant. Vincenzo modifies it in one of the levels to use for sniping.
There are some simple things to remember and do during hectic gun fights:
Use cover! Always make sure there's some cover around you. You can even
create your own cover by moving cars where they'll help the most.
Duck and raise! When you're behind some short cover, duck down behind it,
train your sights toward your target and then raise while quickly shooting
your weapon to take out targets.
Draw enemies out. The AI isn't always the smartest. Once they see you,
they'll run after you. Find a good vantage point and pick them off as they
run around the corner.
Always make sure your guns are reloaded when you have a moment. If you're
in the middle of a fight, find cover to reload.
Don't be afraid to retreat a bit. If you get in trouble, back up through a
doorway and wait for the enemies to come to you.
Remain calm. If you can calm down and shoot good shots at enemies, they'll
be stunned for half a second giving you time to pop off another shot and
stun them again. You can keep this up and kill in two or three shots
usually.
Always start firing the Tommy Gun when rounding a corner where you know an
enemy is before you actually strafe around the corner.
If you can see a portion of a body sticking out, shoot it. Even if it's a
knee, it'll do damage and force the enemy to walk out into your trap.
Characters
Tommy: The main character and who you'll have direct control over during the
game. He's hard-nosed and hard-working but has no family and when the
opportunity to go Mafia arrives, he takes it with fervor.
Paulie: One of Tommy's main buddies during the game. He's got a temper on him,
a bit like Joe Peschi's character in Goodfellas, but he'll watch your back and
help you out more than once. He'll be on quite a few missions with you during
the game. Just watch out for him to go rushing into fights and throw his life
on the line. It's a mixed blessing when he does these things.
Sam: Your other good friend during the game. He doesn't play as big a factor in
the game as the other characters do, but he'll still be on a few missions with
you. He seems best at getting caught by the enemy.
Don Salieri: The big boss. This is the man that runs the organization that
Tommy, Sam, and Paulie work for. As the head of the family, he makes all of the
decisions. And if you don't follow his orders, there's hell to pay.
Frank: Salieri's right hand man is also one of his best friends. He works as an
advisor to the family, helping with any tough decisions and running much of the
business side of things. He'll be a good friend to Tommy during the game.
Vincenzo: Salieri's very own weapons tinker. This guy has all of the goods
you'll need for most missions. He hangs out up the stairs in the alley that
leads to the back lot behind Salieri's Bar.
Ralph: Every important family needs a mechanic right? Well Salieri's got a
pretty good one. He might not be the brightest boy in the world, but he'll
teach you how to steal different kinds of cars and provide you with wheels when
you need them. He'll also manage your garage full of cars. Any time in the
later parts of the game when you need to get rid of a car from your garage to
make room for a new one, you can talk to him and get him to remove one.
Don Morello: This is Salieri's competition and mortal enemy. The two used to be
good friends when they were both captains for the previous Don, but neither
wanted to play second best to the other when that Don died. The city has been
split up between the two and war is close to breaking out.
Sergio Morello: Sergio is Morello's brother who helps him run the family
business. He's mainly in charge of the labor unions and the port and will play
a large role in the later portions of the game.
Sarah: This is Tommy's love interest. She's the daughter of Salieri's bartended
Luigi. While she's really only in one level of the game itself, she is a major
player in the way Tommy acts in the second half of the story.
Lucas Bertone: While Ralph is good for taking care of some of the smaller and
more boring pieces of automotive engineering, Lucas is pretty connected and
knows how and where to steal some of the nicest cars in Lost Heaven. You'll be
visiting him a lot if you want the best cars. All of the missions he gives are
optional, but he'll reward you with great knowledge if you take them. His shop
is near the downtown side of the Guliano bridge.
Yellow Pete: This one armed arms dealer doesn't play into the game at all until
the last two levels of the single player game. You can pick up whatever guns
you need from him. He hangs out in Hoboken near the construction site in the
old abandoned Twister theater.

On to Walkthrough...
Walkthrough: Mission 1 - An Offer You Can't Refuse
The game begins with Tommy's jump start into the realm of organized crime.
While Tommy takes a break from driving his cab around, gangsters are racing
across the city shooting each other up. Two of them, Sam and Paulie, are caught
and shot as their car is wrecked, they come running around the corner into
Tommy and "persuade" him to offer his services as a taxi driver to escape the
car in pursuit. Your objective here is to outrun them while keeping both Sam
and Paulie alive and then eventually return them to Salieri's Bar across town
in Little Italy. This level is both very simple and very difficult simply
because it's the first level and getting used to driving the cars can take a
little time.
First off, right when the cutscene ends, get your finger on the gas so that
when the level begins, you'll be able to get ahead of the bad guys chasing you.
Try to stay in front of their car without letting them get on the side of you.
Their car is much faster than your beater of a taxi. There are a few ways to go
about this, one of which I've found to work with some consistency. But be
aware, the nature of the game such as random traffic and physics (such as they
may shoot your tire out at the beginning making things much, much harder) means
that things might not exactly work the way they should.
In any case, what you'll want to do is start out and take your first left.
You'll notice a big wall on the left side of the street here.
The plan is to get the bad guys confused at the other end of the street. When
you turn left at that street, stay on the right side of the wall avoiding any
traffic in your way while keeping in front of your pursuers. When you come to
the end of that street, hit a hard left with the emergency break to spin around
and head down the little passage between that wall and the buildings. The plan
is to get the bad guys stuck on that wall. It should work 70-80 percent of the
time.
Once you've popped out the other side of the passageway, veer slightly left to
get back on the street going straight ahead. When you get to the end of the
road, take a left and pour on the gas. If everything worked according to plan,
it should only take a few more seconds until you hear Paulie exclaim that you
lost them as well as the obligatory music change to signify calm. From here,
you'll just have to get them back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 2...
Walkthrough: Mission 2 - The Running Man
This next level is one of the most boring levels in the game, but it also
serves a purpose. It allows you to take a tour of the city and learn some
routes to the different areas. You may be tempted to speed along the entire
route, but I wouldn't recommend it for one big reason: You don't want to have
to start it over again. If you manage to tip your car or get caught a couple of
times by the cops for traffic violations, you'll have to begin again. So put
that speed limiter on and enjoy the sites. It's really a beautiful city and
there's a lot to enjoy here. You'll have plenty of time to complete them each
with the speed limiter on, so just spend your time remembering landmarks like
churches, trolley tracks, smokestacks and so on.
Your first leg will have you drive a man to City Hall in the middle island
downtown. Your second leg will move you up north to the hospital at the very
top of the map. From there a woman will be in a hurry to get downtown via the
Guliano bridge. Don't take any other bridge, even if you think a different way
is faster. Your next customer will ask to be taken to Hoboken, which is at the
far Eastern edge of the map. Pay attention to how you get there, you'll have to
go that way a few times during the game and there's really only one route in
and out. Finally, your last customer will want to be taken to a parking lot in
Little Italy, all the way in the western portion of town via the Guliano bridge
and then tunnel. Once again, follow his directions and you'll have no problems.
Just part in the lot and a cutscene will begin.
A bit like the Ahnold movie, you'll be running for your life. You're still not
actually in the Mafia and don't have a weapon to your name. There you sit, in
Little Italy in a parking lot when suddenly you're attacked by Morello's
gangsters that you escaped from when helping Sam and Paulie. They do a number
on your car but before they can do you in, you make a run for it towards
Salieri's bar, which is close by. There's no real strategy here except to run
where the flashing green arrows point you.
You may want to strafe left and right to help limit your chances of being shot,
and try to keep objects between you and your pursuers, but besides that,
there's not much you can do. It's almost impossible to get through this level
without a few bulletholes, but you should make it alive if you stick to the
plan.
On to Mission 3...
Walkthrough: Mission 3 - Molotov Party
Now that you've helped Tommy enter a life of crime, the action will begin to
heat up a little bit. First up, a test. Salieri doesn't take wimps in his
outfit so you'll have to prove yourself useful and tough. In this level, you'll
have to drive to a bar frequented by Morello's gang and pay them back for
trashing your taxi and shooting at you. Paulie will come along for the ride
just to have a look see at how you do on your first outing. You'll have to make
sure he's alive at the end as well.
But before you head out, you'll have to get yourself some weapons and a car.
First follow Paulie up to see Vincenzo who will give you a bat and a couple of
Molotov Cocktails. Remember where Vincenzo sits as you'll need to see him
before most missions.
Next you'll see Ralph, the simpleton with an affinity for cars. He'll set you
up with your first car and teach you how to steal it just in case yours becomes
unusable out on the street. You'll notice from now on that the streets become
populated cars that you've just learned how to steal.
First, you'll have to get to the bar. Now you can feel free to take your time,
speed, run red lights and do whatever you like. Just don't get Paulie killed.
Cops will pull you over for breaking laws, but if you stop and pay the fine,
you can go on your way without a problem. If you try to outrun them, they'll
come after you hard and bring their friends, and that's not good, especially
now with the beater you're stuck driving. Later on as you get the chance to
drive faster and tougher cars, you can try to take the cops on, but for now
obey the laws or pull over if you get caught.
Once you get to your destination, you'll notice the bar is near the corner.
Turn that corner and you'll notice an alley on the left side of the street.
Turn your car around so that the driver side door is right next to the alley
entrance. Get out of the car and head down the alley. You'll see a fence door
on the left.
Open that up, get out your bat, and walk, not run, walk towards the guard
standing at the entrance to the lot. As you approach the guard, hold the attack
button down, which will power up your swing. Hold it until you're right behind
the guard and have aimed at the base of his head then let go of the button and
you'll see the bastard topple.
Now run to the three cars and begin hitting the cars with a bat. For some
reason quick hits do just as much damage as a powered up swing so just keep
hitting attack over and over until the damage meter (which will pop up at the
bottom of the screen) fills up and a message appears saying that car has enough
damage. On the car closest to the building, only attack the rear of the car so
the noise doesn't attract attention from outside. Smash each of the cars then
back up towards the gate where you entered the lot.
Break out one of the Cocktails and hurl it at the rightmost car. Remember that
holding down the attack button will give you a more powerful throw. Now take
out the other Cocktail and hurl it at the leftmost car. They'll catch on fire
and eventually blow taking the third car with them. You can leave before this
happens and just listen to the explosion as thugs will come out of the bar to
see what happened and you don't want to be there at that point.
Now run back to the car at the entrance to the alley, jump in, and drive off
the way you came. If they haven't seen you, they shouldn't follow you. Now you
just have to get back to Salieri's Bar.
On to Mission 4...
Walkthrough: Mission 4 - Ordinary Routine
Because Tommy has shown his worth, Salieri has welcomed him into the family.
First order of business for your newfound family values is to help Sam and
Paulie pick up some protection money from some of the businesses in town. This
is a bit like the Taxi mission, but won't take quite as long. You'll have to
make your way to each of the sites where Paulie will get out, grab the cash and
get back in. As in most missions, you'll first have to visit Vincenzo for a gun
and Ralph for a new car and the knowledge to steal a new one.
Your first stop will be the bank downtown. Next you'll have to hit up a
restaurant in the Him Ham. Now you'll have to make your way back to the bar in
Hoboken where you dropped off a passenger in the taxi mission. Finally, you'll
be told to make your way out to a motel outside of town to make the last
collection. This is a little ways and actually goes off the map, but if you
follow the road, you'll eventually get there to where you receive a cutscene
showing the car pull into the hotel.
This last stop was certainly supposed to be ordinary, but things have a way of
going bad for gangsters we hear, and things do not go well for Sam and Paulie.
Paulie comes limping out of the motel with a gunshot wound in his belly while
Sam has been captured. You have to get Sam back before Morello's men can
extract any information. Obviously running in the front door is a bad idea, and
impossible besides. You'll have to run around back, which is to the left of the
building, to get into the motel.
First off make sure you're gun is at the ready and prepare yourself to be
greeted by an angry dog. Shoot him a couple of times to quickly to kill it.
You'll see some boxes and a platform right on the corner of the building when
you get around back. You'll have to climb up onto the wooden platform, then
each of the boxes, which will lead you onto the second story balcony.
If you managed to spend all of your bullets on that dog, the first thing you'll
want to do is sneak into the room directly across from where you entered the
building. Inside you'll find a Tommy Gun. Next you'll want to sneak back out
into the hallway and turn left towards the door at the end of the hall. When
you pop it open, you'll find a gangster taking a load off of his mind. Relieve
him of his problems. Pick up his gun and immediately turn around toward the
stairs, you're soon to have company coming to see why there was a gun shot
upstairs. This is where the real fun starts.
Three guys should make their way upstairs to get you. Kill them all with the
Colt handgun your retrieved (it's got good aim and power) and move towards the
stairs to take their weapons and ammo.
Crouch down and walk down the stairs towards the doorway on the left. There
will be three bad guys inside. Two of them will have pistols and you should
shoot them without ever really coming out from the left side of the doorway.
Just aim carefully and shoot with the Colt or the Magnum you just picked up.
Once you've dispatched two of them, position the camera so you can see the
third enemy who will be standing in the bar area of the room. He has a Tommy
Gun. Be careful with this one. If you move out a little and stay crouched, he
shouldn't be able to hit you, but you also shouldn't be able to hit him. Wait
until he starts to reload, stand up from your crouch and pop him a couple of
times before he can start shooting again. Get the rest of his ammo.
A cook will then run at you from your left, kill him and then advance to the
doorway across the room from the bar. Sam is inside. During the following
cutscene when you're helping Sam get out of the Motel, another cook will smack
you in the back of the head. You don't get knocked out, but you'll have to have
a gunfight with the guy at close range. Break out your Tommy Gun and work him
over something fierce. He's a tough one, but he'll go down eventually. Just
remember to use the Tommy Gun in short bursts, it has a hell of a kick and your
aim will go crazy if you don't.
After you've killed him, another cutscene will begin with the last of Morello's
men trying to get away with Mr. Salieri's money. He gets out of the motel and
jumps into the car waiting outside and begins to drive away. Sam and Paulie
tell you to get after him. Jump into your car and follow him.
This is a tough part of the level and some different ways to go about it, none
of which are foolproof. First off, you'll need to catch him. Once you've done
that, you can try shooting your weapon out of the car and shoot his tires out,
pull up beside him and try to shoot him in the head (which is very difficult)
or stop his car and force him to exit the vehicle and have a gun fight with you
on foot. The last option is probably the most viable. There are even a few ways
to do this. First, just drive beside and a little bit ahead of him and run his
car into a wall while wedging yours in the way so that he can't move his
anymore. He'll get out and you can fight. Second, there's an uphill tunnel
halfway through the drive, this is a good place to whack him into a wall and
stop him since he's got a heavy car that can't start uphill too well. Third,
just stick with him through the drive and eventually you'll come to a hill and
a bend that he seems to have trouble driving around, he'll slide over the side
and get stuck where he'll get out and you two can fight. While you're driving,
make sure to break before you get to sharp turns so that you don't slide off
the road and crash. Eventually you'll kill him and this Ordinary Routine will
be done.
On to Mission 5...
Walkthrough: Mission 5 - Fairplay
Now that you're hardcore into the crew, you're going to be given some more
responsibility to test your level of commitment to the organization. Salieri
has called you in himself this time around to give you a special job. It seems
that he's convinced a lot of people to bet on a certain driver in an upcoming
car race out at the speedway. The problem is, an unexpected entrance in the
form of a European driver in a exceptionally fast car has been added to the
ticket. Fortunately, Ralph has a friend out at the track that is willing to let
someone in to steal the new car and make some adjustments to make it a bit
slower. Salieri tells you that you are to steal this car and take it to Lucas
Bertone's auto shop where Lucas will make the needed tweaks. First off, you're
going to have to see Ralph to get yourself set up with a new car, this time a
Schubert Six. Once you've got your car, it's time to make your way out of town
to the race track. There's a set amount of time to get there, but it really
shouldn't be a problem.
Once you see the guard house at the entrance to the tunnel which leads to the
track, slow down and stop. Get out of the car and go talk to Bobby the guard.
He'll talk to you for a sec and then raise the bar in front of the tunnel. Once
open drive through the tunnel, up the road, and into the garage area, you'll
soon see the destination red cross pop up in your radar. Stop right before it
and get out of the car, a cutscene will begin.
After Bobby has opened the garage and given you his little speech about getting
the car back in a half hour, you'll be free to jump in and take the car to
Lucas's shop. There are a few things you should know about the Carozella C-Otto
4WD race car.
It's really fast. It can get up to about 120mph.
You can spin out really easily when you're going too fast.
If you damage the car, you'll lose the mission.
Bobby lets you know to avoid the cops at all costs and make sure not to
scratch the car. You'll have a bit of leeway there, but it's better to be
careful to begin with. You're under a time constraint here, but if you
follow the path and drive carefully, you should have no problems with the
cops, time, or damage.
Watch the path you're going to Lucas's shop, you'll be taking it fairly often
in the future and it pays to know your way around the city.
(Point of Interest: Along the way is the man getting ready to jump off of the
Guliano bridge as many were like to do after the big crash in the 30's. Just
one of the nifty details found throughout the city of Lost Heaven)
Once you get to the shop and begin to drive into the garage, a cutscene will
begin. Lucas tells you he's also put a load of cash on the event and will be
happy to help out. After a short break, Tommy wanders back into the garage and
Lucas tells him that he's done and can take the car back to the track.
As before, you'll have a certain amount of time to get back to the garage and
return the "fixed" car. The same rules apply this time around. Really all you
have to do is retrace your path to get to Lucas's in the first place.
The Race
Unfortunately, accidents happen. It seems that while Tommy was out taking care
of the competition's car the night before, Salieri's driver was out
accidentally getting his arm broken by some thugs. Tommy learns this in a
cutscene where Frank informs Tommy that he's going to have to get his butt out
the race track and get behind the wheel of the car. Tommy is rightly nervous as
losing for Don Salieri is most assuredly not an option.
Basically, you have to win the race in order to get to the next level. The race
is five laps long and is full of some very aggressive drivers that are more
than happy to help you crash, which isn't exactly hard to begin with. You are,
once again, behind the controls of a very fast race car that can get up to
ungodly speeds on the race track. Thankfully, you can set your difficulty for
the race and skip the race if you just can't beat it*. Just hit pause and
choose "Skip Race" from the menu. Alternately, if you'd like to restart the
race from the beginning during the middle, pause choose load game, and choose
the latest save point.
The first and most important thing you can do here is get out to a quick lead.
Get your finger on the accelerator so that when the flag drops, you immediately
start off. There'll be a car broken down near the front of the pack, which will
cause some confusion from the start. Veer over to the left side of the track
and stick to the wall keeping the accelerator down, you should be able to speed
past the entire field.
When you get around 200 feet from the first turn, slow down and take the turn
at a reasonable speed. Don't put your finger on the gas again until you're
turned straight you might spin out, which will make your life much more
difficult. Once you've done that, you should have a lead on the pack, now it's
just a matter of staying in the lead, which can be difficult as this car has a
propensity to spin out around certain turns.
There are some general driving tips that can help your chances here, though
really, much of it comes down to luck:
Don't speed through a turn. If you turn while you've got your finger on the
accelerator, there's a very good chance you'll spin out. Take your finger
off of the turn before you hit the accelerator and take your finger off the
accelerator before you turn.
On the PC: If you're using a digital input device like a keyboard or a d-
pad, then tap left or right quickly for small adjustments, holding down to
turn is just asking for trouble.
Try to stay on the dark stripe through the track where you can tell other
cars have gone before you.
When driving through banked turns, make sure to stay up on the bank and use
those small taps to turn through it. The first turn in particular is tough
and if you turn left too much, you'll almost immediately spin out.
Watch out for other drivers if you fall behind, they're mean and will
actively try to knock you off the track.
On the last straightaway near the grandstands, floor it. This is a great
spot to put more room between you and the pack or catch up if you're
behind. The other cars won't be as fast as you here. Floor it until about
400 feet before that sharp hairpin turn and then put on the breaks to get
to a reasonable speed.
Once you get a good lead, don't be afraid to drive a bit more carefully and
take your time around the more difficult turns, the straightaway at the end
will be more than enough to get you well ahead again. There's nothing worse
than getting to the last lap and then spinning out only to get second
place.
Hopefully using those tips will allow you to get through the race without
too much difficulty. Once you're done, there'll be a quick cutscene showing
that you won the race and the celebration that followed.
Visit Lucas Bertone
Finally, Salieri meets with you to tell you how happy he is and that Lucas
Bertone would like to thank you personally for making him so much money. Go
pick one of your cars from the back lot (Ralph won't have a new car for you
this time around) and head out to the auto shop following the same route as
before.
When you get there and walk in, a cutscene will start where Lucas will thank
you by showing you how to steal a Lassiter V6 Phaeton, the car you chased down
in Ordinary Routine. He'll also tell you where to find one that you can steal.
It's downtown in a lot near City Hall. Get back into your car and drive there.
When you get there, drive up and park next to the bright yellow Phaeton. Jump
out of your car and walk over to the driver side door. Look around for the
security guard in the lot wearing the white shirt. Once he's facing the other
direction, hit your "use" button and begin to break into the car. Remember to
look around you and make sure there are no cops wandering up while keeping an
eye on the guard. After the progress bar fills up, you can jump in and drive
off without incident. Get back to Salieri's using the West Marshall bridge.
On to Mission 6...
Walkthrough: Mission 6 - Sarah
The next mission begins with Tommy sitting at the bar at Salieri's. Luigi, the
bartender, asks Tommy if he would escort his daughter Sarah home because some
bullies harassed her the night before. Tommy, being the gentleman that he is,
accepts and Sarah goes to grab her coat. The level begins outside the bar and
the first portion of it just involves following Sarah and listening to the
conversation as you walk. It's probably easier to toggle walk on at this point
and walk beside her at the same pace instead of trying to stagger run beside
her.
Eventually she'll turn down an alley. When you're close to the door on the
left, three thugs will appear from the doorway and accost you. Frankly, it's
not surprising she got jumped taking this route, but I suppose that's a
different matter. Time to kick some ass.
After the short cutscene, the guys will jump you and Sarah will run off down
the street. Your job is to protect Sarah, but you'll have to let her be for the
moment and take care of these guys first. Make sure that you don't run farther
down the alley as more bad guys will come out and make your job even tougher.
Hand to hand fights are pretty tough in this level, especially against several
enemies. You can try strafe running around them, throwing punches as you go, or
you could help yourself by picking up the plank of wood leaning against the
wall across from the doorway the thugs appeared from. Once you've got the
plank, use the same technique to back up, run around in circles and whack them
one at a time. Try to concentrate your shots at one bad guy at a time so they
fall quicker. You'll need to finish them off quickly as Sarah will start
getting beaten up soon. Once they're done, they'll put their arms up over their
heads and run away. Leave them and concentrate on the ones with fight left in
them.
Run down the alley and take your first left up a small set of stairs and then
take a right. There'll be two thugs slapping Sarah around. Get close enough to
them that they run at you and take care of them. There'll be one more guy to
come at you, but take care of them in the same way and you'll save the day.
This whole time, it's totally fine if Sarah gets beaten up a bit as long as her
health doesn't reach zero, so worry about your own fights until things get
serious. Once you've beaten your opponents, talk to Sarah and she'll gratefully
ask you back to her place to "fix up your wounds." Continue following her and
listen to her conversation again. Eventually you'll reach her front door and a
cutscene will begin. Time to break out the Barry White.
On to Mission 7...
Walkthrough: Mission 7 - Better Get Used to It
Once Salieri learns of this new gang harassing people in on his territory, as
these people pay him for protection, he gets a bit angry. More than a bit
angry. In fact he orders Tommy and Paulie to put the thugs in wheelchairs and
deform them so that kids will either laugh at them or run from them in horror.
Talk about teaching a lesson...
First things first, you have to figure out where these scumbags came from.
Salieri tells you to take a drive up to Chinatown where a fellow named Biff is
hanging out, apparently he knows where the bad guys are holed up. First go get
some weapons from Vincenzo. He'll give you a baseball bat and a Colt 1911
(IGN's favorite handgun). Of course, Salieri just wants them beat up, not shot,
so the pistol starts off as a precaution. Now go grab a car (We prefer the
Schubert Six since the Phaeton is heavy, long, and slow as hell).
Drive to Chinatown and you'll find Biff standing next to a park bench in the
middle of the square. Get out of the car and talk to him. He'll tell you where
to find the jerkoffs terrorizing the neighborhood. You should be careful not to
have your guns out at this point, cops don't like guns and will start firing at
you. However, cops don't get mad at guys carrying baseball bats, so feel free
to carry those around with you. Get back in the car and drive to the service
station just around the block and park at the destination mark on the radar.
Jump out and get ready for a fight.
Walk up to the metal door and hit the action button to kick it open. If you
don't, Paulie will, but it's more fun to do it yourself. [Remember: You can
draw your gun, but don't shoot it yet, shooting will end the mission.] Run into
the area and a cutscene will begin showing Paulie walking up and talking trash
to a thug. Let the fun begin. Paulie will immediately fight the first guy,
keeping his attention. The key to fighting with bats is circling around behind
the bad guys to hit them in the back of the head. One hit like that and they're
down. Letting Paulie run ahead and get their attention isn't a bad idea. Once
the bad guys pick a target, they don't let up.
After you've taken care of the first guy, there's a good chance that Paulie
will run off down the alley after another bad guy, quickly follow him before he
gets his ass kicked. If he dies, the mission is a failure. If he doesn't run
off down the alley, you have a choice. You can run to the right past the metal
fence to fight the two guys there (the advantages here are extra fighting and
the chance to grab a crowbar instead of a bat, which really isn't that much
better of a weapon), or you can just leave them alone and run down the alley,
which is the direction you'll have to run anyway.
Once you get to the alley, you'll see a couple more guys beating up a random
bloke. Once they see you, they'll let that guy go and attack you or Paulie
instead. Hopefully it's Paulie so that you can circle behind them and whack
them in the back. If they come after you, just run around in circles and let
Paulie hit them. If they split up, hit Paulie's enemy in the back first and
then turn your attention on the one hitting you. There's a good chance that two
more thugs will run up to join the fight. Use the same strategy here. Always
hit guys in the back when you have the chance first, and then take care of the
guys chasing you.
Continue the way your were going. You'll see the guy that was being beaten on
the right, he'll yell his thanks. Continue on up the stairs keeping on straight
ahead to drop down over the fence below. Now draw your gun. The guys around the
corner all have weapons, so you can fire at them even before Paulie tells you
to.
If you turn to the right around the corner, you'll see the first enemy standing
by the shed. Shoot him before he has a chance to hide or draw his gun and shoot
back, you should be able to kill him quickly. There'll be two more enemies
climbing over the fence across the yard. Shoot them too. Aim. Fire. Slowly is
better. If you hit them, they'll be stunned for half of a second, giving you
plenty of time to aim again and fire until the bad guy is dead.
Once the two are dead, move up to the shed where you shot the first guy. When
you turn left around the shed, another enemy will be sitting diagonally across
from you down an alley, kill him.
Move up to where you just shot that guy. If you look around the corner to the
right, there'll be another bad guy sitting down the way by some barrels and
behind a little corner of his own. Shoot him but don't advance. If he hides
behind the corner, just wait until he pops out again until you kill him.
Make your way down the alley but be careful, two enemies are waiting for you.
One will be up above on a catwalk and one will come after you on the ground. If
you're careful, you can spot and kill the one up above before the other one
shows his face. Once you kill those two, you can stand up and move towards
where they were. To the right, you'll see two men standing by a car. Advance to
them and you'll get a cutscene where the two men will jump in their car and
flee the scene. Time for a good old fashioned chase.
The cutscene will end with Tommy and Paulie running out of the service station
with the men driving away. Quickly jump into your car and drive after them.
[Quick Note: If you're unlucky, a cop will randomly be sitting outside and
begin shooting at you and even pull you out of your car. If that happens, load
up the last save, which is where the chase begins.]
This chase is not as hard as it first seems. There's two ways to get through
it. First, catch up to them and knock them off the road and crashing their car
at which point a cutscene begins. The other is to simply follow them all the
way to the end of their route where you can stop and the cutscene will begin
anyway. Just make sure you don't let them out of your sight! That will lose you
the mission. Also, don't stop for any police in this mission, their speeding
tickets can eat it. You need to catch and kill these guys.
In either case, once the cutscene begins, Paulie goes nuts and causes problems.
Good job Paulie, you unbalanced little freak.
On to Mission 8...
Walkthrough: Mission 8 - The Whore
This mission begins with a nice leisurely chat with Frank. He begins by letting
you know how badly you and Paulie screwed up. Seems only one of the people in
the car died and he happened to be a city counselor's son*. The other one got
up and walked away from it all. Luckily, he didn't know who Tommy was, but the
whole situation is causing problems. But he has another job for you regardless.
Apparently one of the whorehouses downtown, a classy joint for classy
clientele, is run by a little snake that decided to throw in with Morello after
Salieri helped to fund the place for so long. At the same time, there's also a
girl at the house that's been letting information go about the business. You
are to kill the hotel manager, kill the girl, and place some dynamite in the
manager's office to set things right.
First you must get to the hotel. Luckily, you're already in a car sitting in
front of Salieri's Bar. It's a nice blue Falconer, with good speed and
durability. You automatically learn how to break into the car without having to
see Ralph. Take off towards the hotel and feel free to park right in front of
it. Get out and hit the use button to get into the hotel.
Once you're in the hotel, there's a certain order you can do things to make
things easier. I suggest that you first look for the whore you need to kill.
The reason being when you kill the manager, all hell breaks loose and things
will be easier for you to find her first.
To get her, run up the stairs in front of you to the third floor. When you get
up to the third floor run around and enter the hallway on the right. Turn right
into the hallway and go to the end of the hall. Turn right and take the very
first door on your left. A cutscene will begin where you'll recognize the girl
and let her go.
When the cutscene ends, you'll be back out in the hall. Head back down to the
lobby and head to the reception desk. Talk to the man there and he'll tell you
where to find the manager and what he's wearing.
Run into the dining room past the lounge and you'll see the manager in white up
in the elevated area on the right. At the far left of the room sits one of the
manager's body guards. Walk over to him and stand behind him. Pull out your gun
when you're behind him. Some of the people in the room will gasp or scream but
the guard won't move. Shoot him twice quickly to kill him and then aim at the
manager before he can run away. If he does manage to get away, he'll just lock
himself in the manager's office on the top floor.
Stay in the room, even if the manager escapes. Three guards will rush at you.
Through the door that leads to the lobby. Shoot them down as they run through
aiming at the fatter one with the shotgun first. If he gets close enough he'll
pop you a good one. As you run through the connecting room to the hallway, turn
to your right and shoot the sailor, he'll get heroic ideas if you don't. Next
run out to the lobby and around the bar into the reception office. Take the
keys hanging on the wall and use the medkit if necessary.
As you run back out into the lobby past the staircase turn left into the
hallway and the left down the hallway. Halfway down there will be a door that
leads to the back stairs, take them.
Go all the way to the top and move out into the hallway through the door. Be
careful as you advance to your right, there'll be a door leading out to the
main stair landing and a guard will probably be sitting there.
Once you open the door, shoot the guy there quickly and then train your weapon
on the stairs as you move across the hallway. There may or may not be two guys
on the stairs. Kill them if they're there and then keep moving into the far
hallway. On the left will be an office door. Open it with your gun ready for
the guard waiting inside. Kill him and walk to the manager's desk.
Hit the Use Button to place the dynamite and then run out into the hallway. A
cutscene will commence showing Tommy diving out the window and onto the roof of
another building. When you regain control of Tommy, the cops will be driving up
and you don't have a lot of time. From where you begin, run forward. On your
right you'll eventually see a ledge leading to a fire escape staircase.
Climb it all the way to the top. At the top, turn right and follow the balcony
through the door, up the stairs and out the top door.
Turn right and run to the ledge, climb up onto it, turn left and climb up onto
the next ledge. Turn right and run down that part of the roof, jumping over the
gap onto the next building. At this point, some cops may be firing at you from
behind you and ahead of you.
When you land on the next building, run around the chimneys to the right. Jump
over the ledge onto the wooden platform. If you just jump over the edge here
and land on the roof, the drop will be too long and you'll be hurt.
Once on the wooden platform, turn left and run to the next ledge where there
will also be a wooden platform, jump onto it and drop down to that roof. Turn
right and run to the wall in front of you. To your right will be a "staircase"
down to a roof where five police will be sitting. First, look to your left
across the way, there will be a sharpshooter with a rifle there. Take him down
with your Colt 1911.
From the steps you can shoot at least three if not four of the cops by standing
up and shooting them when the reveal themselves.
Once you've killed them drop down onto the roof and then slowly creep around
the chimney attached to the "stairs." There will be a cop sitting there to your
left. If you've got a shotgun, break it out and blast him.
After you've killed him, turn around and run to where you shot the sharpshooter
cop by running up the ramp there. Two cops will pop up on the tall roof to your
left. Shoot them when they show their heads.
After that, continue on across the roof until you see wooden scaffolding and
stairs on your left. Drop over the edge onto the wooden scaffolding. Don't
jump, just drop. Run up the ramp to the next level of scaffolding and turn
right, run up to the ladder laying there and press the Use Button. Tommy will
use the ladder as a bridge to climb across to the church.
From here you'll have to move downstairs. Get the shotgun in your hands if you
still have it and make sure to use the first aid at the top of the second
flight of stairs if you need it, you're about to get in a big fight. Once you
get to the bottom of the stairs a cutscene will begin. As luck would have it,
you're about to barge in on the funeral for the Councilor's kid that you capped
in the last level. The priest giving the speech sees you and all hell breaks
loose as cops and Morello's men come after you. When you gain control of Tommy
immediately pound the guy in front of you with the shotgun and then switch to
your Colt 1911. Next turn your attention to the guy in the first row on your
left. Once he's dead, inch out and get the one in the first row on the right.
Run out to the casket and take down the guy in the spiral stair loft.
Train your sights all the way down the church to the balcony at the end. There
will be another man there. After that, the only bad guy left should be on the
far left side of the church. Once you kill him, find some cover because you'll
have more company running in the front door. Shoot the guys with shotguns first
and then use the duck and rise tactic for the rest. When everyone is dead, a
cutscene will begin and Tommy will leave the church.
At this point, you're a cop killer and Tommy needs to get the hell out of
there. Immediately run to the hearse in front of the church and get in.
Drive forward and turn immediately left onto the driveway and then right down
the alley. Once down the alley you should park until the wanted bar has dropped
all the way down.
Now all you have to do is get back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 9...
Walkthrough: Mission 9 - A Trip to the Country
This mission begins with a cutscene where Frank gives Tommy a mission to keep
an eye on an operation where Sam and Paulie are supposed to be picking up a
shipment of Canadian Whiskey coming into town. The cops have been paid off. Sam
is already on his way to meet with the sellers, and Paulie is waiting for you
at Salieri's warehouse just north of Hoboken. Your first job will be to get to
the warehouse. Ralph will hook you up with a nice new car at the beginning of
the mission. The Bolt V8 is a sporty job that's one of the first cars that's
actually a bit fun to drive.
Once you arrive at the warehouse, another cutscene will begin and you'll get
into the truck with Paulie. He'll actually drive out to the mission area, so
you just have to sit back and enjoy the conversation. Once you arrive at the
edge of a farm where Sam is supposed to meet up, he isn't there. Something is
obviously amiss. Paulie tells you to go check it out and gives you a pump
action shotgun and a Colt 1911. Run down the road all the way to the end. Once
you get past the last building on the right, you'll notice a truck 45 degrees
to the right. Run up to the truck where another cutscene will begin. When the
driver of the truck falls out dead, two men will approach. One is Morello's man
and the other is a Sheriff's man. Prepare for battle.
Once the cutscene ends, immediately run behind the truck to keep it between you
and the two men. There'll be one more thug if you turn around and look behind
you towards the edge of the farm on the left side of the building. Rush him
with your shotgun and kill him. Turn around and wait for the two men to appear.
You may want to switch to your Colt 1911 to take care of them. It's more
accurate and fires much quicker. It may not be as powerful, but it may work
better in this situation. As always, take care of the one with the shotgun
first and make sure to move to the left behind the shed if you need to reload.
Move out towards the truck and turn past the small buildings towards the left
to approach the barn in front of you from the hay bales piled up. One of the
thugs will see you from his perch in the barn and run down to confront you.
Kill him with the Colt.
Move back along the fence keeping the wagons in between you and the barn.
You'll be able to see three more bad guys up where the first one came down
from. You should be able to pick them off from this vantage point with the colt
without putting yourself at much risk. The only catch is you'll have to stand
to shoot them leaving you a little more vulnerable.
Once you've plugged those guys, make your way into the barn by the right
opening. There will be a doorway to the left on the far end of the barn. If you
look through the doorway you'll see a couple of boxes stacked and a door.
There's a man behind the door. Be careful because there's also a man to the
left, either standing in the open or behind some bales of hay in the far right
corner. If the man is in the open, hit him first. If you can't see him, break
out the shotgun and kill the man behind the doorway, making sure he's dead
before going after the second man with the shotgun as well.
There is a First Aid Box on the wall at the foot of the stairs, use it if you
need to. Wander upstairs and collect any weapons and ammo from fallen enemies
and then head back outside away from the road. Exiting the barn away from the
main road, turn right you'll see a small wooden building ahead on the right,
sneak up to that and move towards the road along the outside wall. There will
be two men inside the building. There's only one entrance on the main road. One
man might be standing outside. If so, take care of him first. Another man will
be inside the building as well. Be careful, the one in the tan coat has a
shotgun. If they're both inside, sneak around and fire a shot off to draw them
out where you can shoot them easier. Don't run in after them, that's just
asking for trouble.
After you've killed them, sneak move up the road while watching the next small
wooden building on the right, there are two more men inside. As you move up,
the door will open and the men will run outside. Pick them off as they do. This
time the one in the dark coat will have the shotgun. It's probably best to use
the Colt 1911 here. Just remember to reload quickly if you run out of bullets.
Continue on up the road quickly where you'll notice Paulie and the boys in a
gun fight. Run up behind the bad guys, who should be in dark clothes, and kill
them. Paulie will come with you to find Sam, who's stuck in the barn with the
grain silo. The door is locked. As you run back up the road to the barn, Paulie
will break off to go find something to pry the door open with. When he gets
back, get your weapons ready as there're a few bad guys just waiting inside the
doors.
Have your shotgun ready, stand to the right side of the two doors and back a
couple of feet and aim up a little bit. When Paulie kicks the doors open, kill
the man up on the balcony above you first. Next focus on the guy with the
shotgun to the right. Lastly, break out your Colt 1911 again and take care of
the last guy behind the hay bails on the left side of the wagon. Paulie will
help out a bit, but he tends to get a bit more in the way than anything else,
so just try to keep away from him.
After you've killed the first three guys circle around to the left of the wagon
and aim up the stairway away from the direction the staircase goes. There will
be a guy sitting there waiting to have his ankles shot off. Occasionally, he'll
see you and move, but you should have a good shot at him here so that you don't
just run up the stairs and get plugged in the back of the head. If he does
move, just wait at the base of the stairs and shoot him when he shows his ugly
face.
Use the first aid at the top of the stairs and then run up to the third floor
where you'll find Sam lying near dead. Paulie will go to get the truck to take
Sam to the doctor, but while he's gone, two Sheriff cars will pull up in front
of the barn. You're in a great position to defend yourself here. Take out the
Colt 1911 and shoot them as they get out of the car.
If any of them make it past, you'll just have to move to the stairs and wait
for them to run up and shoot them in the back.
If you hear shooting outside, that's because Paulie has arrived and engaged the
rest of the rabble. Go back to the window by Sam and help him out. Once you've
killed everyone, Paulie will shout up to you to come down and help him out.
Make your way down and talk to Paulie. A cutscene will begin.
Once you've loaded Sam into the back of the truck, more cars begin to drive up
to the farm. You'll have to sit in the back and protect Sam with a Tommy Gun
while Paulie drives. Make sure to keep your sights trained on the drivers of
these cars and open up on them. It's a bit hard to control your fire because of
the kickback, but just keep plugging. If the one of the cars gets past, you
fail. There are three of them and the same technique will work for all of them.
Just remember to reload between cars.
Once you finish the third off, a cutscene will start. Sam will get to the
doctor and Paulie and Tommy will part ways. Drive back to Salieri's or make
your way to Lucas Bertone's where he'll give you a task to do.
Optional: Warn Lucas's Friend
Seems someone has set the cops on one of Lucas's friends. You'll have to go
warn him before the cops show up. He lives in Hoboken. This mission is pretty
easy. Just deliver the message and return to Lucas. When you arrive to the
destination, get out of the car and knock on the door with the light on in
front of it. There's only a set amount of time, but it should be plenty to
finish the mission. Lucas will teach you to steal the Ulver Airstream once you
return to him. He'll also let you know where to find one in Oakwood. Just make
sure there are no police around and steal the car.
It's an easy one. Now get back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 10...
Walkthrough: Mission 10 - Omerta
Things aren't going well for Salieri. The cops are coming down hard, and a hot
shot prosecutor in town is trying to make a name for himself. Normally, he
wouldn't have a chance, but Frank has broken the Omerta and spilled the beans
to the cops and is going to give the account books to them in exchange for
protection. Your job will be to find Frank, get the account books back, and
kill him.
Before you can kill Frank, you have to locate him. You'll need to check with a
couple of informants around the city. First, get a gun from Vincenzo and a car
from Ralph. This time you get a Colt 1911, sawed-off shotgun, and learn to
steal a Schubert Extra Six.
The first informant is your old friend Biff, who hangs out in Chinatown. Take
the alley/park shortcut to get up there a little bit faster and you'll find
Biff on the north side across from the square. Get out and talk to him. He'll
tell you he knows nothing and that you'll need to talk to Little Tony, who's
got better ins with the cops. Get back into the car and find Little Tony. He's
on Central Island by the art gallery. Tony tells you about idiot Joe, a scumbag
that has been blabbing about Frank and the cops. He hangs out under the Guliano
bridge near Lucas's auto shop.
When you get there, you can find him with two other guys underneath the bridge.
He's the bald one. Talk to him and he'll tell you he's not Joe. Punch him in
the face. Punch him again. Now punch him again. A few jabs and he'll break down
and tell you Frank is headed out of town today and that the cops are holding
him across from the tennis courts in Oakwood.
When you get there, a cutscene will commence with Frank being escorted into a
Highway Patrol car. Follow the car. For once, the car you're following won't
actually show up on the radar, so you have to keep it in your sight. It's
probably better to turn the speed limiter off here since the HP car will break
laws left and right. Whoever is driving this car is a nutter. He'll crash into
things, run over people, and generally be a hazard. Whatever he does, don't let
him lose you. If a cop tries to pull you over, don't stop, just keep on Frank's
tail. Eventually you'll get to the airport, and if there's a cop following you,
he'll magically disappear when you get there.
When the level loads up, you'll see Frank and some guards run into the
entrance. You'll have to follow and kill him. First watch out for the guy
leaving the airport, he'll try to run you over on his way out. Get out your
Colt 1911, sneak up to the entrance. There will be one guy behind the wall to
the right with the chairs against it. One behind the counter in the room and
two in the actual room hiding behind pillars. Try to draw the one behind the
wall out a bit and then back outside. Kill him from there.
Next, inch in and try to take the guy behind the counter. The third guy should
be standing in the room on the left side, inch in and take him out from the
entranceway. Next, inch in and kill the fourth guy who will be on the far left
side of the room. You can either rush him with a shotgun or try to pick him off
with a handgun from the entranceway, which is probably safter. Frank will run
outside after you kill the last guy.
Go to where you killed the man with the Tommy Gun and grab it quickly then
chase Frank and the cops outside. There will be a number of them with him. Take
down the guy farthest behind. Grab his gun then take down the one that stopped
right before the hangar and any other stragglers. Now go back and get the
weapons and First Aid on the wall in the airport entrance.
Head back outside and to the right past the hedges. There'll be two hangars out
there. One with a plane in front of it, and one without. The one without will
hold all of the enemies. Before you get there, a truck will drive by and the
driver will try to club you with a crowbar, kill him before he can or stay back
and let him run into the hangar after your enemies. Run up and use the truck
for cover, driving it to where it will help you the most. There are three dark
suited thugs in the hangar. You'll have to draw them out. Try creeping forward
and shooting the one behind the closest green crate on the right.
He'll have a Tommy Gun, so make sure he sees you then run back the truck for
cover. That should make them all come for you. Using the truck for cover, kill
them all. There may be two more tan coated guys at the far left end of the
hangar from where you entered. Kill them all.
Move to the end of the hangar, out to the left and back a little bit will be a
radio tower with a rifleman in it. You can try to hit him with your Colt 1911.
For a sharpshooter, this guy's not that great. (Note: If you didn't manage to
kill two of the cops escorting Frank when he ran from the airport entrance, one
will be waiting around the corner when you try to hit the sharpshooter)
Run back and get into the truck, drive through the hangar and towards the
buildings across the tarmac. Back the truck down the right side of the
rightmost building leaving it sticking halfway out into the parking lot while
keeping against the building. Get out of the truck and, keeping behind it, move
out towards the parking lot a bit. When you see an enemy, they'll begin to
fire, but they should only hit the truck. Wait for the two against the building
to run at you and shoot them when the round the truck. Then pick off the one
across the parking lot, being careful not to shoot at him when he's standing in
front of Frank, and run over to where Frank is standing, where a cutscene will
begin.
Frank explains why he turned on the Don and tells you he will tell you where
the books are if you get his wife and daughter back from the cops and Morello's
men. They're in the airport, you just have to find them. When the cutscene
ends, run towards the cars and the white wooden building. There'll be a couple
of goons to your left as you round the building. Use the building for cover,
and wait for them to run out after you. Kill them when they come around the
corner.
Move into the building. Frank's wife and kids are inside. Kill the man talking
on the phone immediately. If you don't, he'll call the cops and more will be
waiting for you next time you move to the entrance.
Talk to the family, then go get Frank and bring him to them where a cutscene
will start. You'll need to go find the tickets for his family, which are back
in the entrance to the airport. Grab health from the First Aid Kit on the wall
by Franks's family if you need it and then jump in one of the cars in the
parking lot and drive or just run back to the airport entrance. There'll be a
bunch of blue collar cops waiting for you when you approach the entrance, take
care of them and then grab the tickets on the front desk inside the building.
Return to Frank and another cutscene will begin where Frank will tell you where
to find the account books.
After the cut ends, get back to the entrance and jump in a car to get back to
town. You'll need to get downtown to the bank where the books are. Before you
head back, make sure to put your weapons away or if the cops are around they'll
come after you when you get out of the car.
Once you get to the bank, get out of the car and hit the use button at the door
to go inside and get the books. From here you'll have to return to Salieri's
Bar or go see Lucas Bertone for another side quest.
Optional: Big Stan at the Black Cat
Lucas's friend got the crap beaten out of him by some big gorilla named Big
Stan. Lucas would appreciate it if you would show this man a lesson. He hangs
out at a bar called the Black Cat in Little Italy. Drive over there and beat
him up. Make sure you don't kill him or Lucas won't give you the prize. So
don't drive up the stairs and accidentally run him over. Oops. Return to Lucas
when you're done and he'll tell you how and where to steal a Thor 810, a nice
piece of machinery that you'll definitely want in your collection.
You'll need to go to Oak Hill for this one, your first time up in the ritzy
section of town up on the hill. This guy has bodyguards around him and one
right by the car so you'll have to time it right in order to steal it. Just
wait until he walks past the front of the car and then start in on it.
Make sure there are no cops around or you'll be in for it. You may need to kill
the guard in order to get away with the car, but that won't exactly be
difficult. Once you get the car, get back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 11...
Walkthrough: Mission 11 - Visiting Rich People
It seems that the books being taken out from under them hasn't discouraged the
prosecutor. He's still after Salieri and has dug some more evidence and
witnesses. Sam and Paulie are out taking care of the witnesses while you have
to go nab the documents from the prosecutor's safe in Oak Hill. In order to do
that, you're going to have to take a safecracker named Salvatore with you.
First thing you'll need to do is grab some weapons from Vincenzo. He'll give
you a bat and a Colt 1911. Hopefully you won't need the gun, but there's a good
chance it'll come in handy. This is more of a stealth mission though, so you'll
want to try your best to sneak up behind the guards and whack them in the back
of the head to knock them out. Once you get your weapons, go grab a car of your
choice and head to pick up Savatore, he's in front of the stadium in Hoboken,
and then to Oak Hill. Park in front of the red cross on the radar and then talk
to Salvatore in front of the wooden door. He'll crack it open for you.
When the villa loads up, move forward until you've moved beside the hedges a
few feet and tell Salvatore to stay by pressing the Use Button. He'll stay
crouched there until you tell him to follow again. Now turn around, turn right
around the hedges and move to where the first statue is and hide behind the
hedges so the approaching guard can't see you. Wind up with the bat, but wait
until the guard walks by. Sneak out behind him, stand at the last moment where
he stops, and whack him over the head. Grab his shotgun and key. Go back to
Salvatore and tell him to follow. Move up the side of the hedges.
Once you get to the end of the first row, walk across the path to the far side
and head left until you come to another path. Turn right and move slowly down
the path, keeping on the grass on the left side, crouching the whole while.
There'll be a guard wandering back and forth by the pool to your right and up
the patio. He'll come down from the patio and walk towards the path. The second
time he walks towards the path on his route, he'll stop short by the pool.
Cross the path to the other side when you see the second gap in the hedges past
the benches on your right. When the guard turns around and starts walking away,
move through the gap and follow him holding your finger down on the fire
button. Get up behind him and hit him over the head.
Creep up the stairs you just passed so you can see the dining room. If the
light is on, wait for the maid to leave because she'll call the guards if she
spots you. If the light isn't on wait on the stairs for the maid to come in and
clean, after she leaves, move into the room through the double doors and
through the door on the opposite wall on the left.
Move into the entrance hall and go up the stairs, taking the left staircase
from there. Go into the door in the right corner and then take an immediate
left. Move to the end of the hallway and open the door to the prosecutor's
office. Hit the Use Button when you get to the safe and Salvatore will begin
working on it.
During the following cutscene while Salvatore is working, the prosecutor and
his guards will come home. You have to get out of there quickly. When you gain
control again, grab the documents from the safe quickly and run out of the room
to the opposite end of the hallway and into that door. Go down the staircase
there and open the door at the bottom. There's a chance the maid will be there
turning on a light. If she is, wait till she turns and begins walking down the
hallway and then follow her slowly. She'll enter another room and turn on a
light. When she walks to the side, move past that room and enter the entrance
hall if the light is on. If the light is already on, that should mean that the
prosecutor has gone upstairs to his office with his guards.
Move outside through the doorway. There will be a guard to the left, but you
don't really have to worry about him as he's facing the other way, there's a
juicy treat waiting for you in the yard. The prosecutor's car is a nice one.
Fast, sleek, and pretty. Sneak over to the driver side and hit the Use Button.
Salvatore will move up and pick the lock, teaching you how to steal the Silver
Fletcher. Get into the driver's seat and wait until Salvatore has jumped into
the passenger's seat to start the engine. Back up and go through the arch
towards the front gate, from which you will leave. The guards will shoot at
you, but you have the car and they won't do enough harm to matter. Even if they
shoot out a tire, just drive out the front because your car will be
miraculously repaired.
Once outside the gates, take Salvatore home to Hoboken and then make your way
back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 12...
Walkthrough: Mission 12 - A Great Deal
Because all of that Canadian whiskey was lost a while back, Salieri's
speakeasies have been hurting for booze. But Paulie met a fellow from Kentucky
that brews his own and is willing to sell as much as Salieri would like to buy.
Paulie went ahead and bought one truckload to try out before scoring a much
bigger amount later. You'll have to go with Sam and Paulie to the parking
garage on Central Island to meet with the dealer Bill, pick up the truck, and
deliver it to Salieri's warehouse in Hoboken.
This time you don't have to get a weapon from Vincenzo or drive to the
location. The cutscene will see Tommy in the back seat getting a ride from some
henchmen. When you arrive at the garage, Tommy, Paulie, and Sam will get out
and head up to meet with Bill. Run into the garage and take an immediate right.
You'll see a staircase there, take it to the top. Bill and his crew will be to
the left. Go talk to them.
A cutscene begins but before the deal can be finalized, two cars full of
Morello's men screams into the garage and starts firing at the entire crew.
Bill is quickly killed and suddenly Sam, Paulie and Tommy are the only ones
left. We'd be lying if we didn't say this level was difficult. Even with all
the tips in the world, there's a good chance you or one of your friends will
die before you get outside again. But here are some tips. Shoot the yellow
barrels down by the bad guys' cars. They're explosive and a few shots will
light them off. You may prefer to run to the right and hide behind one of the
cars over there before the firing at anything. Then shoot the closest barrel
and turn to the rest of the bad guys. Make sure you use the tips to shooting a
Tommy Gun successfully and you'll be good to go.
There are eight guys total here and they do different things every time, so
it's hard to give more advice than use cover and aim well. Eventually another
car full of guys will join the fray. Run to the left and forward a bit to use
the last on the left as cover to shoot the second yellow barrel. Hopefully that
will catch a couple of them in the explosion. From there just use the same
tips. After you've finished off that carfull, turn your sights down the ramp
and shoot the yellow barrel at the bottom left of all of the gray barrels. If
you're lucky, you'll catch both bad guys in the explosion, if not, you'll have
to finish them off at a distance. Also, remember to pick up extra ammo from the
other Tommy Guns your enemies have dropped.
When you move down into the next level down the ramp. There is an enemy on the
far right hand corner of the level near a parked car and a pillar. Be careful
to take cover so that he doesn't shoot you. By this point, you might need it,
so run into the cage in the middle of the parking level and find the First Aid
Kit on the side of some metal shelves. Now move to the next ramp and slowly
edge out to the middle from the left. There should be about four (if no one ran
up from before) bad guys to shoot. These ones aren't bad shots and Paulie will
make things difficult by running ahead.
Run down into the next level via the ramp and you'll see two cars blocking the
pathway. Some enemies will light them up with Molotov's. Wait for them to
explode and stop burning before you attack.
You could alternately run back up the ramp and go down the stairs, but they'll
throw grenades there and Sam and Paulie will run right into them because
they're stupid. Once you've managed to off the rest of the slime shooting at
you, you and Paulie will have to go get the truck with the booze in it and head
out of the garage while Sam follows behind in his own car.
Before you wander upstairs and get the truck, run up the ramp to the next
level, grab a car and ram the two car husks out of the way to clear a path for
the truck. You don't want to damage the truck. It can only take so much before
it's done. Once you've cleared a path, go up to the top, get the truck and
drive out of the garage.
When the city loads up, immediately start up and go right, away from the two
carloads of gangsters that are shooting at you. If you drive by them to the
left, they'll pop all of your truck's tires and you won't be able to drive.
Once you start right, take your first left and then another left to move
towards the Guliano bridge. Chances are the punks will catch you in their cars
on the bridge because frankly, your truck sucks ass. It's slow, handles like
crap, and their cars don't have those problems. Once they get close to you, try
to swerve back and forth through traffic to make them smack into cars. It's
especially good if you can get them to hit a trolley or a post. If you can do
that, you might be able to wreck their car and kill the passengers.
Whatever you do, don't put that speed limiter on. Just keep driving as fast as
you can. Don't stop for anything. If you get spun around and turned the wrong
direction. Just right yourself and keep driving. It's the only way to win.
These guys are tough and will not make it easy on you. Just keep it up and you
should eventually get to the warehouse. When you get there, get out and have
your gun ready because if you haven't managed to make both cars crash, they'll
roll into the warehouse lot and start shooting at you. Kill them all and the
mission is a success.

Walkthrough: Mission 13 - Bon Apetite
Salieri greets you with a new request. He's been looking forward to eating at a
certain restaurant and today's the day he's going. He asks Tommy to come along
and drive him there. Of course Tommy will also be strapped, just for good
measure. You get to take Salieri's car to the restaurant so prepare to roll in
style in his Lassiter V16 Roadster. It's a simple ride there just hop in behind
the wheel and take off.
When you get there a cutscene ensues showing Salieri and Tom eating and
finishing up when two cars full of gangsters roll up and start to riddle the
place with bullets. Other customers die quickly, but Tommy acts and flips the
table for protection before things get too bad. Salieri tells you to run out
the back and flank them. Good idea.
When you get control of Tommy again, immediately duck, turn around and move
behind the small wall to the door hiding behind it. Run out the door and point
your weapon down the alley to the front right of you.
There will be a man there with a Tommy Gun. Cap him and run to grab his gun.
When you have his gun, move forward to the end of the building crouching and
strafing out a little bit while shooting some of the thugs down at the front of
the restaurant. Move back behind the corner when they start firing back. That
should get there attention enough that they'll come after you, running around
the corner to where you're waiting like so many little lemmings.
Once you've killed those guys, inch back out around the corner to make sure
there aren't any more bad guys left. Chances are there's still one or two
hanging in front of the restaurant. Make sure to kill them quickly and if you
hear any more gunplay, there might actually be a thug in the restaurant with
Salieri, you need to kill him. After you're sure they're dead, you can run back
down the alley and into the back of the restaurant to use the First Aid Kit if
you need to. Otherwise, continue moving down the street towards the restaurant.
There will be an open door in the building adjacent to the restaurant. Keep
your gun trained on the window above that door as you strafe out. There will be
a man in a window there. Kill him and make sure to keep moving to stand behind
a car as there might be another bad guy at the end of the hall through the open
door. Once you've killed all of the bad guys, a cutscene will begin.
Both Tommy and Salieri figure that someone had to know where he was going to
be. Salieri immediately figures it to be his bodyguard that called in sick.
Salieri wants him dead. Jump back into the car and go get him. He'll be in
Little Italy. When you get there, just walk up to the door and hit the action
key.
Salieri will move up the stairs to Carlo's door and start screaming into it and
then tell Tommy to kick the door down and kill him. Kick the door in and you'll
see Carlo jumping out the window and heading outside. Run after him down the
fire escape. When you get to the base of the stairs. Move to the left side of
all of the shacks. He'll be there by the side of one of the shacks in his
underwear. Throw some bullets his way and then run to where you killed him and
turn around. Three of his friends will come running after you with bats, pipes,
and guns. Kill them all and the mission will end.
It shouldn't be too difficult, they don't put up much of a fight. At the end of
the mission, the Lassiter V16 Roadster you were driving will be added to your
garage.
On to Mission 14...
Walkthrough: Mission 14 - Happy Birthday!
Now that Morello has actually tried to knock off Salieri, things are getting
hot. Salieri is pissed and has decided to start knocking off the important
people in Morello's organization. The first on the list is the Councilman
that's been giving everyone so much trouble. He's having a birthday party on a
paddle steamer across the river. The plan is to kill him when he comes out to
make his speech with a gun hidden on the boat beforehand and then escape in a
motor boat Sam* is driving after the deed is done.
First talk to Ralph and he'll teach you how to steal a Chromium Crusader
Streak. Hop in and drive to your destination. You won't actually be able to
drive the car to the dock, so just park in the lot before the cross on your
radar and then jump out and run to the dock instead.
When you try to get on the boat, the security guard will turn you away because
you don't have an invitation. Luckily, there's another solution to the problem.
If you stand facing the guard that turned you down, turn and face the opposite
direction. You'll see a building in front of you. To the left, there's a phone
booth. Just to the right of that is a door.
Run in there, take the door on your right, run downstairs, and press the Use
Button next to one of the sailor's outfits hanging on the wall. Now you're
disguised and ready for action. Run back outside and onto the boat. This time
they'll let you on.
When you start up again, run up the stairs in front of you and then move either
right or left to the back of the boat. When you come out the last single
corridor, turn left and then left again before the stairs. That's the room you
want, but it has a sign on it saying the skipper has the key. Time to find the
skipper. He's sitting in a chair on the bottom deck and will tell you that the
lifeguard actually has the keys.
This guy moves around and can be a bit of a pain to find, but he usually hangs
out on the bottom deck and wears a blue and white striped shirt. Go up and talk
to him. He'll turn you away at first so just talk to him again. He'll give you
the keys if you promise to clean up the room and bring the keys back to him
later.
You can always just go grab the gun now and go after the councilor, but if he
finds you, he'll bug you and you want to be left alone, so clean up the
bathroom like he asked. Run to the back of the boat on the bottom level to the
right. There will be a bucket in the bathroom at the end of the way. Grab it
and head back up to the locked bathroom. Go in and hit the Use Button, which
will tell Tommy to clean the bathroom. After it's clean, grab the gun
underdeath the counter, drop the bucket, and make sure that your hands are
empty. If any of the guards see a gun they'll freak out and start shooting.
While it's possible to survive and still kill the Councilor, it's messier and
much more difficult. Now go and return the keys to the lifeguard so he doesn't
find you and bug you for them.
Run to the top deck and wait for the councilman to come out of his room. His
room is the one towards the back with the two guards standing out in front. You
could always just try to kill them, take their key, and kill the councilman
inside at this point, but that would lead you down the bloody and difficult
path again. Instead, just wait near the band for a cutscene to begin showing
the councilman walking out of his room. Once he begins his speech, just stroll
up on the right (your right) side of him and shoot him until he's dead.
Guards will begin firing in the meantime but shouldn't do enough damage to kill
you. Once he's dead, signified by a message saying "Escape!" on the screen,
turn around and run to the left and down the stairs to the bottom. Paulie
should be waiting there in a boat. Jump in and the mission is a success.
You'll have the Crusader Chromium Fordor added to your garage.
On to Mission 15...
Walkthrough: Mission 15 - You Lucky Bastard
Now that the politicians are too scared to oppose you, it's time to go after
Morello's brother Sergio. Sadly for you, this guy is one lucky bastard and
it'll take a few tries to get him. Paulie has the first plan to take him out in
front of the Italian Garden restaurant. His plan is for Tommy to call the
restaurant from the phone booth across the street asking for Sergio. When he
comes to the phone, which is located in behind a window, Paulie will be waiting
to take care of business with a Tommy Gun. Go grab weapons from Vincenzo and
then get yourself a new Guardian Terraplane, which Ralph will teach you how to
steal. Head on out to the Italian Garden restaurant. When you get there, just
move into the phone booth and press the Use Button.
Turns out Sergio wasn't there but Paulie killed the man that answered the phone
without knowing. Time to run away from the hot pursuit. Once again, the people
following you are much faster and much better drivers. The best chance you have
is to find some secluded alleyway, such as the one on the way back to Salieri's
via the tunnel, stop, and shoot the bastards. After that, just get back into
your car and park back at home. You'll get the Guardian Terraplane in your
collection.
Salieri still wants Sergio dead, so he and Vincenzo have thought up a new plan.
Time to go car bombing, gansta style. Turns out Sergio has a mistress he spends
a lot of time with. All you have to do, is go to Sergio's mistress house and
plant the bomb on his nice little sportscar. Grab the bomb off of Vincenzo's
desk and go grab a car from your collection. Drive to Oakwood and stop the car
down the street from Sergio's car. There's a guard outside the house having a
smoke, so don't get out of the car until he puts his cigarette out and goes
inside. Once he does, just hop out, run to the car and hit the Use Button to
plant the bomb. After it's done, just run back to your car down the street
where a cutscene will commence showing that the wrong person got in the car and
Sergio will escape harm yet again.
Well, that definitely is one lucky bastard. Time for try number three. This
time it's simple. Tommy is to drive Paulie down to the Rainbow Garden
restaurant and blow him away when he comes out. But Paulie's gun jams. Time to
run again. Wait till Paulie gets in the car and then take off. You can do
different things here. You can try to outrun them and lose them in traffic, but
these guys are seriously tenacious and you'll probably have to use a healthy
portion of luck to get through it that way. I think it's easier to just guide
them to a street that you can't see any cops on, hop out really quick and kill
the driver. Then take off back home to Salieri's.
Three screw-ups is enough for Salieri and he assigns the job to some other men
who have arranged to have Sergio's car "accidentally" hit by a train. Of
course, they screw up as well and you'll have to chase Sergio in his incredibly
fast car back to his hideout and take him down yourself. You don't have to stop
Sergio here, just stay with him. Remember to turn that limiter off and don't
stop for any cops that see you speeding. Your car has some horrible
acceleration, but you should be able to catch Sergio's in the straightaway. If
you lose sight of him at the beginning up the hill leading out of Hoboken, turn
left at the top and head towards the Guliano bridge at full speed, you'll
eventually catch him. If you do lose sight of him for too long, the mission
will fail.
Once you've tailed Sergio all the way back to the port in Little Italy, you'll
have a long and tough battle ahead of you. He'll sick everyone in the area on
you to stay alive. The level begins with you behind your car. Immediately duck
and aim to the right where you'll see a man running through the guard house.
Kill him when he comes out the other side.
Your next target should be to the left of your car behind the bushes with a
shotgun. Ducking behind the front end of your car, target him and them stand,
quickly shooting and killing him. Do the same for the man with the Tommy Gun on
right side of the car and the other a but farther down the way by the closest
truck. Get their weapons.
As you move forward along the left side of the brick buildings ahead, a truck
will pull out and another will come moving in from farther away. There will be
four men total, all with shotguns. Try to pick them off from a safe distance
using the building corner as cover. You could even wait there until they run
around the get you, but that might let them get to close.
After they're dead, move towards the end of the second brick building where the
second truck rolled in. Peek around the corner using the camera and check out
the guy standing in the loft of the warehouse with a shotgun. Take out your
colt and shoot him from the corner of the brick building. Another man will run
towards you from the left of the warehouse where you shot that man. Kill him.
This whole time you should be very wary of the men up in the cranes towards the
docks. They're sharpshooters and will mess you up even from long distances. Use
cover wisely and move past the wood pallets and crates behind the buildings to
your left. You may even want to hop in the truck right there and drive it to
the front of the buildings near the outside wall on the left. Walk down that
back alley and two men will jump out from two different warehouse doors. Shoot
the closer one and then the farther one. Turn around and go back the way you
came, there might be an enemy coming from that direction, drawn by the shots.
As you make your way back around the building to the front, be wary of dock
workers. They won't attack you, but they will distract you. When you get around
the warehouse past your truck turn left, you'll see lane between the two
buildings to your left. There's a door open halfway down the farther building.
There might be a man inside depending on what you've already done. He's there
about half of the time for me. If he's not there, don't run down the lane,
continue on past all of the buildings on your left, towards the grass and the
wall. Keep moving along until you see a little garage with a car and two
guards. Kill them and get their ammo.
Across towards the next building, you'll see several garage doors and then one
smaller blue door to the right of them. Run quickly towards that door because
you will get shot at. When you run inside, get your shotgun ready and open the
door on the left. Plug the guy that's facing out the window and take his rifle,
you'll need it to pick off the guys in the cranes. The door at the end of the
hall you came in by will be a locker room with a First Aid Kit. Use it if you
need to.
Exit by the door where the man you just killed was standing. Move forward along
the wooden palettes for cover. Move to the tallest furthest stack. Peek around
the corner towards the base of the crane. You'll see a man with a Tommy Gun.
Kill him with the rifle.
Now you'll have to deal with the snipers. Run back to where that car was, jump
in and drive up to the wood stacks near where you just killed the Tommy Gunner.
Get out of the car near the wood stack and duck behind. Shoot the man on the
crane with your rifle.
Grab the bad guy's Thompson and move along the right side of all of the crates
(the side away from the dock). Just around the corner on the third stack of
crates will be another Tommy Gunner. Start firing before you strafe out from
the corner and kill him. Sneak up to the edge of the crates on the right and
aim up at the next crane. Wait until you see the sniper run to the corner and
face away from you. Shoot him. Duck back behind the crates to cock your gun and
then do the same thing again.
Now you can turn around and find Sergio's car in front of one of the buildings.
That's where you need to get in. Before that, if you don't have full health,
run down the train tracks towards the entrance and you'll see a doorway open
there. Run inside it and there'll be a first aid kit on the wall. After you
grab it, come back to Sergio's car. You need to find a way into that building.
Face away from the dock and towards the building. To the right there will be
two track switches. Don't hit the first one. Run past it to where the tanker
cars are sitting. Hit the switch in front of them.
Move to the side of the first tanker train car, crouch down, and hit the Use
Button to remove the block from the wheel. If you moved the switches correctly,
the car will smash into the warehouse door. Run to the tanker car and a
cutscene will begin.
Now that you've got the door open, it's time to run in and have yourself a
little fun. Break out the Tommy Gun, this is going to be a hairy fight. As you
move up to the door, crouch down and have your gun ready to fire, the first guy
will be standing on some wood to the left and forward. Kill him while you're
still standing behind the wall a bit to protect yourself. As you move into the
building, there'll be two guys with shotguns on the right and one coming from
the left. Kill one on the right quickly then back up a few steps into the
doorway while turning to kill the one on the left. Turn back to the remaining
one on the right. As you move down the middle there will be another guy with a
shotgun behind the first stack of wood on your right. That should be the last
guy.
Sergio will be at the end of the warehouse firing at you. Break out an accurate
weapon, wait for him to reload and kill him. Walk up to him and there will be a
short cutscene. Time to either go to Salieri's or to Lucas Bertone's. If you
plan on going to Lucas, walk into the room at the back of the warehouse and use
the health kit inside.
When you leave, go back up to the warehouse where you first killed those men
and use the Bolt covered truck to drive to the entrance of the lot. Get out at
the front, kill any guards there, jump back into the car you originally came in
and drive off either to Salieri's or to Lucas's along the way.
Optional: Save Lucas's Friend
When you get to the auto shop, Lucas is wiggin' a little bit because a friend
of his has been shot in Chinatown. He asks you to go get him and deliver him to
the doctor in Oaktown. This shouldn't be too hard except for the long distance
and the time limit. But you do need a Fordor car. Either grab one before you
even get to Lucas or make sure you block and steal one on your way to pick up
his friend. This is going to be a tight squeeze as far as time is concerned,
but you should be okay as long as you don't crash horribly and kill him.
As a reward, Lucas will tell you how to steal a Bruno Speedster 851 located on
central island, it's the nice red and silver jobby that looks like it'll be a
crapload of fun to drive. Just make sure to steal it when the parking attendant
has started walking the other way or he'll call the cops on you.
On to Mission 16...
Walkthrough: Mission 16 - Creme de la Creme
It's time to make the final big move and rub Morello out of the picture
completely. It's up to Tommy, Paulie and Sam to do the job. Seems that Morello
is going to the theater and it's time to show everybody in the city that
Salieri is in charge by killing him in public. Go to Vincenzo and he'll give
Sam and Paulie Tommy Guns while you'll get the good old sawed-off shotgun. Now
grab your best four-seater car (probably the Silver Fletcher) and take off for
the opera on central island. When you get there, Morello is already leaving
because the show got out early. Chase him. You won't be able to actually catch
him while in the city, you just have to stay close. Eventually he'll head out
of town in the direction of the airport. There are two different ways this
could end.
A) Morello doesn't skip the airport and instead turns in to try and escape via
plane. Follow him into the airport. Once you get inside, the car will break
down as you climb the first hill. Sam and Paulie will stay there to fix the car
while you get out and try to chase Morello down. Run after him towards the
hangars. Two of Morello's men have gotten out of the car to come after you.
Lure them to a good location, such as the corner of a building and then use the
sawed-off at close range for maximum effect. After you've killed them, run to
where Sam and Paulie are waiting in the car. Paulie will give you his Tommy
Gun. Shoot at the plane's engines as it tries to take off. If you do as much
damage as possible before the plane lifts into the air, a cutscene will play
and the plane will crash. If not, the plane will fly off into the distance and
everyone will start cussing like crazy.
B) Morello and his men keep driving on by the entrance to the airport and
continue on past the motel from the beginning of the game. He'll head up to an
area you haven't been yet and race up some windy roads. Just make sure he
doesn't get too far ahead, you won't be able to catch him. Eventually, a bridge
will appear on the horizon and as you approach it, a cutscene will begin
showing Morello's men stepping on the breaks a bit too late after they see the
bridge is only half complete. They skid to a stop, teetering on the edge of the
bridge. Tommy puts his foot on the gas and finishes the job Morello's men
started. They fall, crash, blow-up, and the mission has been completed.
Either way, once you've finished the mission, you'll have the option to either
go to Salieri's or to Lucas's. But really there's not much choice. If you go to
Lucas's first, Paulie and Sam will complain so you'll have to go to Salieri's
first anyway. Head there and then head to Lucas after you've dropped the
whiners off.
Optional: Ditch the Car
Lucas is in a bit of a bind. Some guys he was doing business with dropped a car
off at his place after using it for a getaway vehicle in a recent crime. Now
the cops are looking for it and Lucas has offered to help you procure yourself
a nice German sportscar if you help him get rid of the car. You'll have to jump
into the car and move quickly while trying to stay away from the cops. The
first trick is to get out of there as quick as you can. Immediately start
heading for Oakwood. Turn your limiter off because you're wanted and the bar
won't ever completely go away so you might as well have some fun getting there
quickly. You'll have to head out to the lighthouse out there, which is just off
the windy road leading up to Oak Hill from Oakwood.
Once there, leave the car facing the cliff with the rocks below it. Now run
back up to the road and steal yourself a car making sure that no cops are
around. Once you have the car, drive it down to the lighthouse and bump the car
Lucas gave you off the edge and into the water. Now drive back and claim your
prize.
You can find the Celeste Marque 500 parked in front of Roy's Grill restaurant
in New Ark. Drive on over there and take a look at your new vehicle.
Unfortunately, before you can get your hands on the little thing, the owner
comes out and drives off with it. Follow him and his crazy ass drunken driving
(I'm not kidding, for some reason this guy always seems to run into things) and
steal it from his house in Oakwood when he parks it. (Note: You can actually
just try to steal the car, but he'll see you and call the cops. Kill him and
the cop to get away.)
Now get back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 17...
Walkthrough: Mission 17 - Election Campaign
Things were good and settled for a while for Salieri's businesses. With Morello
gone, the city was pretty much his, but not quite all of it. A corrupt
politician was growing his brothel business around the city and encroaching
into Salieri's territory. He wants Tommy to give another show of power in order
to leave no doubt who runs the city. This politician just happens to be giving
a speech and Tommy is sent to assassinate him from a safe distance where no one
can see him or find him. The speech is being given on an island just north of
Central Island. Tommy can get a clear shot at him using a modified rifle with a
scope on it from the vantage point of the old prison on the north end of
Central Island.
First you'll have to go grab the weapon, a Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, from Vincenzo.
He'll also give you a Colt 1911 for short range protection. Good thing because
you're going to need it. Ralph will also has a new car for you. The Wright is a
small car but is good enough for daily use. Take whatever car you like now.
You've got some sportscars so you might as well have some fun. Drive to the old
prison in north Central Island.
Once you get there, you can park your car and walk down the alley to the left
of the prison. There you'll see a construction worker covering a manhole. You
can kill him and drop his body down the shaft by pressing the Use Button or
just jump down the manhole without killing him. Remember, you're not supposed
to be seen by anybody. If you leave him alive, he'll be talking to the cops
when you come out of the prison later, which makes bigger problems for you.
After you drop down the hole, just run to the other ladder once down and climb
up into the prison. The first thing you'll want to do is kill the dogs on the
other side of the fence. There are four of them and they'll give you problems
later on if you don't. The only thing about killing them first is that it
alerts all of the people inside the prison (I guess they're well armed homeless
people) and they'll be waiting for you when you come up the stairs. This can
actually work to your advantage if you let it.
To get into the building, face away from the fence holding the dogs and turn
left around the building. At the end on the left will be a door. Go through it
and then through the metal door in the middle of the room to the stairs. Don't
worry down here, there won't be any bad guys here. Get your Colt 1911 ready
when you head up the stairs. If you killed the dogs, you'll hear them cursing
at you. Move up the stairs and be ready for combat. Once you peek your head
out, you can actually run back down the stairs and wait for them to come to
you. There will be four of them on this first level.
Once you've killed these men and grabbed their weapons, head through the gate
door in the middle of the room and head out onto the balcony. Head up the
stairs and around to the left where you'll see an open door. Go inside and hit
he Use Button to kick the next door open. A guy will be standing there. Shoot
him quickly and get ready for the next guys. There will be three more. If
you're lucky they'll all come running through the door. Back up to the door by
the balcony and pop the first guy that comes through. If you need to reload,
back up behind the wall and then kill the other guy as he comes through the
second door.
There's a chance the third guy won't come running through the door so inch out
and take him down with your Colt 1911. Collect all of the weapons including the
shotgun. As you make your way down the building, you'll hear a man open a door.
Turn and shoot him quickly and then turn towards where you headed before
turning around. Two more men will be running in, one with a shotgun and one
with a pistol. Kill them quickly.
Run through where the men came. When you see a section of the wall that has
fallen out check the walls by the hole, there's a first aid kit without the
cover on. It can still heal you. Face away from the first aid and run down the
hall ignoring the doors on the right. When you get to the doorway at the end,
there will be a man in the next room that you can shoot through the fence.
Move around the fence and approach the staircase. Up at the first turn in the
stairs will be a man with a pistol and another sitting on the next flight of
stairs across the way.
As you make your way up to the first landing, there will be another guy at the
next landing up across the way. Hide behind the pillar and then pop out to
shoot him. When you try and move up to where you just killed that guy, you'll
hear a guy scream and see a piece of railing pop out and fall followed by a man
with a shotgun. He's dead but there's another man with a shotgun following
shortly. Make sure your gun is loaded and pop him when you see him.
That should be the last of the bad guys, so just run all the way to the top of
the stairs and open the door. Here's your wonderful view of the island where
you can pop off a shot at the politician. Break out the Nagant, zoom into
sniper mode, and kill him. You'll get two shots at the most so make them count.
Once he's dead, run all the way to the bottom of the staircase where you'll see
the body of the guy that fell. Run outside and to the left. Shoot the lock off
the door leading out of the prison and get outside. If you killed the
construction worker, you'll be free, if you didn't, you'll have to contend with
some cops. Just get in your fast car and drive away.
You now have the option to go to Salieri's or stop by to see Lucas.
Optional: Save Lucas's Friend
Seems another friend of Lucas's is in trouble. You'll need to drive to the
works quarter in a hurry and pick him up. He's the one man walking around there
in a hurry. You're under time constraint here before the cops pick him up so
get there on the double. Once you pick him up, bring him back to Lucas and
you'll learn that there's a Lassiter V16 Appolyon just waiting to be robbed in
Oak Hill.
Once you get to the location, talk to the guys that are gawking at the car to
get them to go away then steal it making sure to look around and watch for
cops. Now get your gigantic car back to Salieri's.
On to Mission 18...
Walkthrough: Mission 18 - Just for Relxation
Salieri is getting senile in his empowered old age. Seems he wants to grab a
truckload of fancy cigars from the harbor. Says they'll bring in money to the
fancy places he owns where people like these kinds of things. The problem is
the harbor is even more locked down than when Morello was there. So you'll have
to do some things a bit differently. You'll need to follow a delivery truck
leaving the harbor, find a nice quiet place to jack it, and then go back to the
harbor to load the goods. You'll also need to get the papers from the driver
without killing him. Sound easy? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
First go to Vincenzo to grab some weapons and then talk to Ralph who'll give
you a Lassiter V16 Fordor and teach you how to steal it. Jump in and drive to
your first location.
This is the rendevous point where you'll need to meet Sam later. There'll be a
cutscene here where Paulie will tell you both about his plan to rob a bank
without Salieri's permission. Both Tommy and Sam are not so happy about it and
Paulie backs down. Jump back into the car and drive to the port where you'll
have to follow a delivery truck.
Once you get to the port, Paulie will tell you to wait for a truck to drive
out. Once it does, follow it. It'll drive farther into the Works quarter into a
circle alley street to deliver some goods. While the truck is inside, keep
driving past and around the corner to the left and park your car in the street
by the scaffolding to block the road. When the truck finally comes back out and
slows down by your car, shoot your gun into the air. The driver will get out.
Punch him a couple of times and he'll drop his papers.
If you hit him too hard with the bat, he'll die. In that case, you can get the
papers from his body. Get in the truck and drive back to the port. The men at
the gate will check your papers.
After you're cleared, drive forward all the way to the warehouse. You'll see
the last door is open. Back the truck up to the door. Get out and go talk to
the foreman standing in the warehouse doorway.
He'll tell you to move some crates into the dispatch building while he takes a
leak. Go run down to the men standing on the side of the dispatch building and
they'll move the boxes for you. Help them move the boxes quickly. When they're
done, the foreman will reprimand you for stacking them sloppily.
After that, go talk to the foreman again when he's in front of the warehouse.
Once you've told him he's needed at the train, which he isn't, he'll walk off.
Start loading the good when he turns his back. Do it quickly and then jump into
the truck and drive to the entrance.
The guys at the front will notice that you're carrying the wrong goods and then
the chase is on.
Drive to the meeting place where Paulie and Sam are waiting. Jump out of the
truck and get ready for a bunch of guys to come meet you. Kill them all.
There's a shotgun resting against one of the walls, that might help your
effort. There are a lot of guys and chances are you're going to have to try
this one a couple of times before you get it done.
Once they're all dead, Sam will head off to get Salieri. Tommy and Paulie will
have to take the truck to Salieri's warehouse. There a cutscene begins where
Tommy and Paulie find out that they didn't steal cigars. They stole diamonds
but were cut off from the mix. This doesn't make either of them happy.
On to Mission 19...
Walkthrough: Mission 19 - Moonlighting
Tommy decides that he's had enough of being used by Salieri and talks to Paulie
about his bank job plan. Paulie gladly accepts his help and the two of them
make their way to the bank to discuss the plan. This is actually fairly boring
if you don't want to sight see.
Paulie makes you take the train downtown. Just follow him and then hit the Use
Button to get on the train when it rolls up to the station. It'll be a little
while so you might as well sit back and enjoy the sites. Just make sure you get
off when you need to or you'll be stuck and have to do it again. You'll get off
at the downtown stop and Paulie will let you know when you're about to arrive.
Hit the Use Button again to get off the train.
When you finally get to the bank, hit the Use Button at the door to go inside.
Just follow Paulie inside and he'll tell you his plan. Head back out of the
bank. Paulie will tell you about Yellow Pete, an arms dealer in Hoboken where
you can get some guns. He'll give you directions to get there via the train,
but screw that. Once you've run far enough away from the bank to load the
entire city back up (when you're in the bank only a small portion of the city
without any cars will be loaded), just steal a car and follow the arrow on the
radar. Remember where that spot is, you'll need it for the next level as well.
Now you've also got to have a fast car. You can just steal the best car you can
think of from the street or go see Lucas. Either way, when you have the car you
want and some guns, head to Paulie's and honk your horn outside.
Optional: Deliver a Package
This time Lucas wants you to deliver a package for him to a man named Big Dick
who's hanging out (no pun intended) underneath the East Marshall Bridge. To get
to him, just take a right and then left immediately from the auto shop onto the
major thoroughfare there. Take it all the way to the end and then drive down
the steps all the way to the bridge where you'll find Big Dick waiting. After
you talk to him, some thugs come to hurt you. Take out your weapon and kill all
three.
After that talk to Dick again and then get back to Lucas the way you came.
He'll tell you about a new car that will be leaving from Oakwood Junior High
School and traveling to Central Island where you can steal it from the lot it
gets parked in. It's a Hornburg Model J* and is oh so sweet.
The guy drives like an idiot again, but he'll eventually get there. Grab it and
then head to Paulie's and honk in front of his house. Alternatively, you can
just pull your car in front of his and cut him off. Then pull him out of his
vehicle. He'll shoot at you, but this is much quicker.
Paulie will come down when you honk and then you can go to the bank downtown.
When you arrive, make sure to park your car facing the construction zone
(towards the elevated rail tracks). Get out of the car and go inside. Follow
Paulie into the bank and wait until he starts yelling. Take care of the guard
that comes out of the teller's area and the one that comes from the entrance.
Once they're taken care of, Paulie will move and point his gun at a teller. Run
back there and grab the keys hanging from the shelves behind that teller.
They're for the grate downstairs, the manager has the vault key.
Turn around and run through the open door to the left and up the stairs. There
will be one guard at the top of the stairs. Run straight and then turn left at
the first juncture. The manager will be in the first door on the left marked
"Director." Run in and talk to him, he'll tell you the key is in the cabinet,
which when facing the door will be on the left side of the room.
When you come back out there will be a guard waiting for you. Shoot him and
then run back down the stairs you came up on all the way to the basement where
the safe is.
Run through the grate right in front of you. Run all the way around the hallway
until you see a hallway going left and another gate in front of you. There will
be two guards and the safe down that hall to the left. Kill them then move to
the safe.
A cutscene will start where Tommy will get the money. After that's done, run
back around the way you came in, exit on the main floor and talk to Paulie. Run
out to your car and drive away.
To get away from the cops, drive down into the construction site and drive
through it. That will take you to Hoboken and the hideout quicker. If a cop is
chasing you just pull in through the lot door and into the warehouse. The cops
will get confused and the wanted meter will eventually go down all the way.
On to Mission 20...
Walkthrough: Mission 20 - The Death of Art
When Tommy gets to Paulie's the next day to talk about the cash, he finds the
front door open and Paulie dead on the floor inside. The phone rings and it's
Sam. He says Salieri found out about the bank heist and decided to make an
example of both of them. Sam tells Tommy he'll help, but he has to meet him
downtown at the art gallery.
Before you head downtown, go back to Yellow Pete's and stock up on some serious
firepower. Stop by Lucas's if you like as well and get your last stolen car of
the game, then head to the art gallery and be ready for some serious action.
When you regain control of Tommy immediately turn around and run out of his
apartment, the police are on the way. Also, make sure you don't have a gun in
your hands. You'll pass a bunch of cops on the way out. Run out the front door
and steal the cop car sitting there.
The great thing about stealing a cop car is that you can break all the laws and
no one will pull you over. Head to Yellow Pete's in Hoboken. Grab every handgun
you can hold and the Tommy Gun. Don't get two big guns because the cops might
see you when you leave or when you get out of the car at the art gallery. Screw
any melee weapons, just the heaters.
Optional: Follow the Whore
If you stop by Lucas's place before you go (there's really not much reason to
except to get every car), he'll tell you that there's a certain man he needs to
find. He's not sure where he is, but knows that a whore from the same hotel
that you trashed a few levels back brings him food everyday. All you have to do
is go to the Hotel Corleone, wait outside for the girl to emerge and follow her
to the guy's place. It really is as simple as that. Once you see where she went
just go back to Lucas.
He'll tell you about the Thor 812, an improved model of the older version, in a
used car lot near Chinatown. Just take a jaunt on up there and get it. You'll
want to pass the lot and pull in behind it and enter it through the back gate
instead of the one on the street. First, take out a pistol and kill any dogs
that are close to you. Next blow the lock off the gate and go inside.
Kill the remaining dogs if there are any. Grab the car while making sure there
are no cops around. Now go to the art gallery and drive up to the door. Get out
and walk inside and a cutscene will begin showing that Sam isn't quite the
friend Tommy thought he was.
When you gain control of Tommy again, quickly turn to the right and take out
the two guards Tommy just escaped from. Now quickly move back and left to hide
behind the pillar on the oustside of the staircase to the left and aim your
Colt 1911 up the other staircase. Two men will come through the door at the
top. Kill them when they do, ducking behind the pillar when you need to reload.
Now get out your Thompson and inch around the corner to the left pointing your
gun up the left staircase. There will be a guy waiting to die there. Now run up
the staircase where you shot those two men. You'll run straight ahead through a
doorway and another to the left. Through the next doorway will be two men. One
will be nearly straight down the way while the other will be sitting in the
left side of the next room.
Run straight through that room quickly turning immediately right when you leave
it. Stop before the next turn left and break out your Thompson if it isn't
already out. Turn the corner to the left and start spraying the bad guys. There
will be four of them, one with a Tommy Gun to replenish your ammo.
Run to the base of the stairs where you just killed those men and then
immediately turn around and run back up the stairs. One of the jerks ahead will
have thrown a grenade, you need to get out of its way. After the explosion, two
more men will run down onto the landing, eliminate them. Run down and head up
the stairs to the right where a cutscene will begin and your game will be
saved.
This next part is hairy. There are quite a few guys in this room that need to
be taken care of. When you regain control of Tommy, quickly run to the
staircase on the right and duck behind the statue and bannister for cover from
the hoods on the upper left. Train your weapon up the staircase you are on and
wait for the man with the Tommy Gun to walk out into view and kill him. Now
turn around and get out your 1911 and aim up at the bannister above you to hit
the guy standing there with a shotgun. After he's been taken care of, use the
duck and rise on the men at the top of the left stairway. Lastly, turn to your
left up in the balcony behind the left staircase will be another thug.
Now that things have settled a little bit, head up the stairs with your
Thompson out. There might be a guy right in front of you. If not, turn right at
the top of the stairs and then left where you'll find a couple of bad guys
waiting.
There will be one more man in this area across the rotunda from you. That
should be everyone in the immediate area. Next, run to the other side of the
room to the balcony where you shot the man with the shotgun while you were on
the stairway behind the statue. When you get there you'll see a staircase. Run
up it without stopping. There will be a man up above throwing grenades at you.
Keep running and then turn around at the first landing and shoot him.
There's nothing on that level yet, so head back down the stairs and use the
first aid at the bottom if you need to. From the staircases take the right path
back down to the rotunda. When you get there you'll see double doors on your
right. Take them and quickly shoot the two men standing in the next doorway
across the room. Two more men will be in the room on the left hand side.
Run straight ahead until your reach closed double doors. Don't worry about the
rooms to your left, there aren't any enemies there. When you reach the end,
there will be an open door on the right. There will be one man with a sawed-off
behind the first couch island and another with a Detective Special behind the
second.
Run through the room to the next open door. When you round the corner to the
right, Tommy will yell "Sam!" There will be two men in the next room with Tommy
Guns. Don't be afraid to retreat to cover from them, they can be tough.
Instead of running ahead to the next room where you shot those men, move into
the smaller room on the left with the display cases. In the next room after it
will be another thug. Now run back out into the galleries and turn left, you'll
see that double doors are now open leading back out into the area you already
came from. Run back up the stairs where the man was throwing grenades at you.
When you get to the top, move through the doors with the bust statues outside
of them.
Turn right down that hallway and move into the room. Once you've moved far
enough, a cutscene will begin where Tommy and Sam will argue and yell at each
other for a while. This is the last battle and it's both tough and easy all at
the same time. Sam will be in a window across the room from you.
Don't bother trying to run around to fight him, he'll always be able to stay
ahead of you. Just inch out into his view a bit and let him start firing at
you. Keeping the camera in a view where you can see Sam. Once he's run out of
bullets and has to reload take the Tommy Gun to him hardcore. After a long
sustained pounding, Sam will run away. Time to chase him and finish this.
Move to the other side of the room where you just shot Sam. You'll see blood on
the wall and a trail of blood ahead on the floor. Follow the trail, keep your
gun at the ready, and be prepared for Sam to jump out. Shoot him before he can
shoot you and the last cutscene will begin.
It's a fitting end to the game and one that won't leave you disappointed.

Mistakes within the IGN walkthrough:
*(Basics) Although the horn button does make Tommy whistle when on foot, this
doesn't actually do anything. Being able to use taxis is likely a feature that
was scrapped from the game. See the "Easter Eggs" section for more information.
*(Basics) If the cops see you with a gun, they'll try to arrest you; they won't
open fire on you until you shoot first.
*(Map) This isn't a mistake, but it's worth noting that I've included the
hyperlink from this page (since there's no other noteworthy text). The link
takes you to a high-quality downloadable map of Lost Heaven.
*(Fairplay) Even though there is an option to "Skip Race," this will not allow
you to pass the mission. See the "Easter Eggs" section for more information.
*(The Whore) The game's subtitles show that Billy's father is a "councilor,"
not a "counselor."
*(Happy Birthday!) Paulie (not Sam) helps you escape from the boat at the end
of this mission.
*(Moonlighting) The bonus car in this mission (from Lucas Bertone) is called a
Trautenberg, not a "Hornburg."
*(Secrets) Clearly IGN had planned to add a "Secrets" section but never got
around to it.
*(General) Throughout the guide, the Giuliano Bridge is misspelled as the
"Guliano Bridge."

Thanks to PC Gamer magazine, you can read some concise mission walkthroughs.
Take note that these are not replacements for my own lengthy explanations, just
summaries. Like my condensed walkthrough, these do not always include certain
objectives (those which are assumed to be easy enough that the gamer needs no
assistance completing them - Also, all the Lucas Bertone side-missions), and
come up somewhat vague in certain areas. However, if you just need a very
general strategy, or want a good recap of what happened in each mission, these
should help you out.
The following walkthroughs have been copied verbatim from PC Gamer (Holiday
2002 - Vol. 9 - No. 13). Any mistakes - mechanical or technical - remain as is.
However, technical (information) mistakes will be marked with an asterisk (*)
and referred to at the end of this section. Be forewarned, as THIS SECTION
CONTAINS NUMEROUS AND MAJOR SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IT IF DON'T WANT TO RISK
HAVING PARTS OF, OR THE ENTIRE STORY SPOILED FOR YOU.
"Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven
Hey, Paisan, if you want to get in good with Salieri, you can't screw up. Lucky
for you, I'm here to give you a hand. Just do what I saw and you'll be a made
man in no time.
AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE
Just drive. The guys chasing you will try to knock you off the road by hitting
your car on the driver's side: don't let them. Try driving really close to
oncoming traffic, effectively "shaving" the tail off your caboose. Once you're
in the clear, use the map to get to Salieri's place. Just be sure to use your
speed limiter (default key is F4)* so that you don't get pulled over on the way
there. In fact, it's a good rule in general to always use the speed limiter
when you're not in a hurry.
RUNNING MAN
You'll start this mission driving your fares back and forth, but things go
south when some of Morello's men come to rough you up. All you need to do is
survive and make it to Salieri's bar. Use the map so you won't run into any
dead-ends, and strafe left to right as you run to minimize the number of times
you get hit.
[picture caption] In "Running Man," once you make it to Salieri's bar, you're
home free.
MOLOTOV PARTY
This one's a cakewalk. Once you get to the parking lot, just go around back,
sneak up to the guard from behind, and knock him out with one fully charged hit
from your baseball bat. Then use your Molotov cocktails and baseball bat to
destroy the three cars in the lot.*
[picture caption] The key to "Molotov Party" is to sneak up to this guard and
clock him with your baseball bat.
ORDINARY ROUTINE
You get your first taste of serious action here. The job starts off quiet, but
it'll heat up real fast once you get to the motel. Enter the motel through the
back window on the second floor, using the crates in the back on the building
to get up to the window. Don't enter through the front door.*
Once inside, you'll find a Tommy gun sitting on a bed in the room right across
from the window. Use it to clear out the building. Before you head into the
room where Sam is, go back out the way you came, to the front of the motel, and
shoot the wheels off the yellow convertible parked out front. Just aim for the
center of each wheel using whichever gun has the most ammo: it'll take only a
few shots to flatten it.* then, go all the way back inside and get Sam. If you
need health, you'll find some in the bathroom to the right of the stairs on the
second floor.
The last guy will take your money and run outside. But guess what? Since you
blew the wheels off his car, he isn't going anywhere. Rub him out and you're
done.
[picture caption] To enter the motel in "Ordinary Routine," climb up these
crates to get onto the second-story balcony.
FAIRPLAY
No one in the mob plays fair, and this job proves it. Stealing the racecar and
getting it back in time isn't the hard part: Just stay clear of cops* by using
your radar, and to avoid damaging the car, don't drive too fast. The time limit
isn't as tight as it seems if you keep a good pace.
The real challenge comes in winning the race: This contest is definitely one of
the hardest parts of the game. There's no fast and easy way through it - you
just have to keep racing 'til you come in first. Try to get a lead early and
hold it, rather than trying to work your way up slowly. Also, the usual mouse-
and-keyboard setup doesn't facilitate the best driving. If you have a joystick,
use it for your driving controls: it'll make winning much easier.
[picture caption] Do whatever it takes to avoid taking damage to your racecar.
("Fairplay")
SARAH
Here's your turn to get some action of another kind. But first, you'll have to
bust some heads. No big deal: just escort Sarah home. When some tough guys show
up, teach 'em a lesson. To make pummeling them easier, beat them with the
wooden plank leaning against the right wall in the alley where you are
attacked. The most effective way to deal with these guys is to run away to give
yourself some distance, and then charge up a full-power hit. Start swinging
once someone gets close enough. You don't need to kill these guys, so don't
chase after them when they run away, or else you'll lose Sarah.
[picture caption] Use this wooden plank to go to town on some unruly thugs in
"Sarah." Full-power swings are key.
BETTER GET USED TO IT
Your biggest problem will be keeping Paulie alive. Try to keep guys off him
because the mission ends if he goes down. The mission will also end if you
start shooting before the bad guys do. Use the same hit-and-run technique you
have used in the previous missions. If you're having trouble when the gunfight
starts, try rolling, shooting, and rolling and shooting again - you'll take
fewer hits that way.
In the post-cutscene car chase, all you need to do is keep up: The guys in the
car will eventually wreck.
THE WHORE, PART I: THE HOTEL
Once you get to the hotel, talk to the concierge, and he'll tell you that the
guy you're looking for is in the restaurant. Take a right and go to the last
room. At the corner table you'll see a man in a white suit. Shoot him and his
bodyguards. More people will come into the room once the shooting starts: take
care of them and head back to the concierge. Go behind the counter and get the
key to the manager's office. You'll also find some health by the key.
Head to the third floor; you'll find the prostitute in one of the rooms with a
welcome mat at the door. Once you've taken care of her, head back the way you
came to the manager's office. There'll be one man inside with a gun: dispatch
him and plant the bomb by walking up tot eh desk and hitting your action key.
Then get out of there.
[picture caption] Here's the guy you want to rub out in part I on "Whore." Note
his bodyguard across the room.
THE WHORE, PART II: THE ROOF
Here's another tough one. About a half-dozen cops are coming up the fire
escape. They'll get bottlenecked there, so if you position yourself at the top
of a flight of stairs at just the right angle, you can take them out one by one
without incurring too much damage. Don't bother shooting it out with the
officer across the street who's toting the Tommy gun - just run upstairs and
keep going.
There's only one way to go, and you'll have to make your way through more cops.
Just remember to use cover wisely. Watch out for one cop with a Springfield
rifle: he can kill you with one headshot. You'll want to save your magnum
revolver for him, as it'll dish out the most damage with the least hits.
Eventually, you'll reach a ladder that you can tip over and use as a bridge to
get to the church.
THE WHORE, PART III: THE PRIEST
After making it through all that, you'll end up in a shootout that's even
bigger than the one you were running away from. Immediately retreat back behind
the door and use it as a bottleneck. Next, you'll want to take out both the guy
in the high-up pulpit and the guy in the balcony sporting the Tommy gun. Then
mop up the rest of the wiseguys.
Once you get to the door, more goombas will show up. Roll out of the way fast,
as some of them have shotguns. If you still have ammo for your own shotgun, use
it to blow 'em away.
When you finally get to a car, you'll have to lose the cops. Just find some
alleyway to hide out in until they stop looking for you, and then head back to
Salieri's.
[picture caption] In the church shootout near the end of "Whore," the guys
holding the high ground are your top priority.
A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY
This night mission is full of guys with shotguns - but it's also very
straightforward. Just remember that shotguns aren't as effective at long range:
If you stay back, you can nail these enemies with your handguns. Once you get
to the barn to rescue Sam, some cops will show up. Stay upstairs: it'll give
you the high ground advantage, since you can shoot out the hayloft window. But
watch your back for anyone who may come up behind you.
The getaway segment isn't hard: just shoot straight and watch your ammo. Don't
bother aiming for the tires of the cars chasing you - just take out their
engines.
[picture caption] Stay upstairs when Paulie goes for the truck ("A Trip to the
Country")
OMERTA
Here's another long mission; you'll want a fast car for it. Talk to your
informants (you'll have to punch Joey* to get info out of him) and then head to
where they're keeping Frank. You'll end up tailing Frank to the airport. Once
there, you'll have to waste some guards while looking for Frank.
If you want, you can steal a car and use it to drive around the airport while
you fire your gun out the window. Don't kill Frank when you finally find him:
Just talk to him. He'll ask you to find his family. They're in a wooden
building a couple of doors down. Find them and take him to them. Next, you'll
have to find their plane tickets. The tickets are in the first building at the
parking lot where you came in. It's crawling with cops now. Grab the tickets
and get back to Frank, then make a quick getaway to the bank.
[picture caption] In "Omerta," this building is the one with Frank's family.
Take Frank to them.
VISITING RICH PEOPLE
Head left when the mission starts. You'll need to take out the sentries
quietly: a fully charged hit wit the baseball bat should do. If you head left
when the level starts, you should find a box next to a bench - it'll turn off
the lights in the backyard. Once in the house, you'll have to make your way
upstairs to the safe. If you run into anyone, knock them out with the bat.
Don't forget that you can use Salvatore to open some doors if needed. Once you
have the documents, get out fast and take Salvatore back home.
[picture caption] Look for this box is "Visiting Rich People" - you can use it
to turn off the lights in the courtyard.
A GREAT DEAL
This mission goes downhill fast once you get in the parking lot. Use the cars
in the garage as cover; if you want, you can move them to form a barrier before
the cutscene starts to provide more adequate cover. When you work your way
downstairs, watch out for the guys barricaded behind their cars: they have
grenades. Listen carefully and you'll hear when a grenade lands near you. Try
to take out these enemies from a distance. Once you've killed everyone, you
have to go back up to the truck and drive it back to the warehouse. If you
don't lose the tail, get ready for one last shootout once you reach the
warehouse.
[picture caption] Blowing up the cars will take out some goombas in "A Great
Deal."
BON APPETIT
It's just you and Salieri here. When Morello's hitmen start shooting up the
restaurant, head outside through the back door. Once outside, head down the
alley to the street. Watch out for the thug with a Tommy gun: kill him, take
his gun, and go around the corner. You've now flanked Morello's men. Take them
out, then go back to the alley, and enter the building adjacent to the
restaurant. Watch out for a guy with a shotgun. Kill him, then head to the
second floor and take out the other guy with a Tommy gun. After that, head down
to the street to eliminate anyone you missed. Move fast so Salieri doesn't get
killed. The rest is easy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
If you go into the building that's behind the line for the boat, you'll find a
sailor uniform. Change your clothes and you'll be let onboard. Go to the
bathroom on the second level (toward the back of the boat and by the stairs);
you'll see that it's locked. Find the skipper - he's wearing a white and blue
striped shirt - and talk to him a few times to get the key. Get the bucket from
the bathroom that's on the starboard-aft side of the boat and then go back to
the second-floor bathroom. You'll clean up the mess and get your gun. Return
the key to the skipper and wait for the speech to start. Once it does, walk up
to the counselor*, kill him, and run back down to where you started the level.
Paulie will be waiting in a boat to get you out of there.
YOU LUCKY BASTARD
You'll spend most of the first part of this mission trying to lose tails. The
tricky part comes when you're paired with the hired goons. Once they die,
you'll have to chase down Sergio. Don't bother trying to shoot his car: just
tail him. He'll lead you to the trainyards.* You'll have plenty of bad guys to
dispatch here, but Sergio will hide in one of the buildings. You can't get in
because the door's locked. Go to the train tracks and you'll see a switch. Use
it to direct the train tracks toward the building Sergio is in, then go to the
nearby train cars and move the blocks at the wheels. The train will roll and
break open the door. (You have two trains, so you can try again if you mess up
the first time.) Now just go in and kill Sergio.
[picture caption] Sergio's hiding in this building ("You Lucky Bastard"). The
door's locked, so use a train car to bust in.
CREME DE LA CREME
The plan goes to hell and you'll have to chase Morello to the airport. Once
there, make a beeline for the airplane. Shoot at the engines with a shotgun or
Tommy gun. If you do enough damage, Paulie and Sam will show up and give you a
ride.* Once in the car, keep shooting at the engines until they catch on fire.
Sometimes Morello's car won't turn into the airport. If this happens, just keep
chasing him. He'll eventually get caught up at a bridge and a cutscene will
show you pushing his car off the edge of the bridge.
ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Get into the old prison through the sewers, and kill the guy near the manhole.
Fight off the bad guys inside and get up to the tower. It won't be a challenge
to hit your target: just take your time and go for the headshot. Then just make
your way out by going all the way down the stairs in the tower, and when you
get to your car, lose the cops.
[picture caption] Here's your target in "Election Campaign." Take the headshot,
then make your way down to your car.
JUST FOR RELAXATION
Run the truck off the road and the driver will get out. Chase him down and beat
him up to get the documents. Take all of the crates out of the back of the
truck, get in, and drive it back to the docks. Take it straight down from the
entrance and you'll come to a warehouse on the left with the door open and a
guy standing out front. Back up the truck to the warehouse and then talk to the
guy. Move the crates that he points out with the help of the workers standing
next to him. When you're done, talk to the guy again and you'll tell him
they're having problems with the train. He'll walk off and you'll be able to
load the crates you need onto your truck. Then drive out. You'll be chased, but
it shouldn't be too big of a problem to lose your pursuers.
[picture caption] Don't pull anything funny at the warehouse ("Just for
Relaxation"), or the guards will be all over you.
MOONLIGHTING
No tricks here: Just move fast once you're in the bank an bring lots of guns.
For the getaway, having a fast car such as the Trautenberg Model J is vital.
THE DEATH OF ART
You start off Paulie's. Put your guns away and run from the cops. You'll want
to stop by Yellow Pete's shop to get some more firepower: get a rifle and
whatever else you can carry. (Don't bother getting a Tommy gun, since you'll
eventually be able to pick one up from someone you killed.) Once you get to the
museum, you'll be surrounded. Fight your way out - which may take you a few
tries. Watch out for grenades when you get to the first stairs leading up.
Eventually you'll have to fight Sam one-on-one. He doesn't miss often. Use your
rifle here. Pop out, shoot him once, and then take cover again. (If you try to
get in more shots at a time, he'll nail you with his Thompson.) After a dozen
or so hits, Sam will run off. Chase him down with a pistol or Tommy gun and
finish it.
[picture caption] When fighting Sam in "The Death of Art," pop up, shoot, and
take cover. Repeat
There you go - done. Now that I've led you through La Cosa Nostra, I need you
to do me a small favor. In the game's Freeride Extreme mode, you'll find a
woman chained to a pole on a rock by the beach (shown below). I'm just dying to
know why she's there. If you can find out what the story is on this dame, I'll
consider us even.*
[picture caption] Just who is this lady, anyway? I've got to know!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mistakes within the PC Gamer walkthrough:
*(An Offer You Can't Refuse): The default key for the speed limiter is F5, not
F4
*(Molotov Party): You don't need to destroy the cars in the lot, only damage
them heavily (fill up the damage meter on the screen).
*(Ordinary Routine): You have to use the crates and the back entrance to get
into the motel. You can't enter through the front door at all.
*(Ordinary Routine): Shooting at the Phaeton's wheels should break them off,
not flatten the tires.
*(Fairplay): To my knowledge, despite what Ralph and Bobby say, there are no
cops present at night.
*(Omerta): Your reluctant informant in this mission is called "Joe" or "Idiot
Joe," but is never referred to as "Joey."
*(Happy Birthday!) The man you're assigned to kill in this mission is referred
to by the game's objectives and Salieri's speech (subtitles) as the
"councilor," not the "counselor."
*(You Lucky Bastard!) Sergio leads you to the Lost Heaven Harbor, not the
"trainyards." While there are many trains and tracks at the harbor, these are
simply for loading purposes, and the area is marked and noted by the mission
saves as "The Harbor."
*(Creme de la Creme) Paulie and Sam's showing up has nothing to do with how
much you shoot the engines. Instead, they appear when you move farther out onto
the tarmac, and the plane seems to be getting too far away to catch.
*(End note) This woman chained to a pole is used in one of the Freeride Extreme
missions. You have to save her from a sea monster during Freeride Extreme
Challenge 3: "The Sea Monster." See the Freeride Extreme section for more
information.

-------------------------------
Information on "A Great Deal!" and "You Lucky Bastard!"
Submitted By Anatoly Ivanov
"Hi there!
I enjoyed your Mafia FAQ on GFAQs much. And since you're accepting
reader contribution, I'd like to point out a couple of things that might
help in beating certain missions within the game.
1. Mission 12-02 A Great Deal!-The Parking Lot
"One note about the stairs: When you're coming into the garage, and
when you're returning upstairs for the truck, feel free to use either the ramp
or the stairs. However, when you're making your way down, fighting gangsters
on every level, you should use the ramps, not the stairs. Finally, if you try
to
use the stairs to get to the bottom level (essentially bypassing the car
blockade), you'll have an enemy grenade land at your feet, guarantying
your death." (from the walkthrough)
I didn't use your guide much when beating this mission, but despite of
reasons you're using here, using the staircase was the most effective
(in terms of remaining HP) solution, at least for me. I did the following:
- using staircase, I went to the very level where the gangsters had
blocked the way
- shot a couple times using Thompson gun (a random shot should trigger
the grenade, I think)
- ran back to the next floor using the staircase
- gangsters threw a grenade, but since I was a half-floor above, I
didn't get hit at all
- returned back by stairs and cleared the floor. After this routine I did lose
only 4 HPs as well as Paulie & Sam have lost about 10-15 HPs each. Your way =
20-30 damage for me and 30-40 for Sam/Paulie. Maybe I just can't operate
grenades well ;) At least I wasn't using them in the part 12-03 when I killed
all the gangsters near the car with a Tommy gun...
2. 15-08 You Lucky Bastard! - The Harbor
Basically, your idea about using a truck to deal with gangsters
inspired me much. So, there is my version how to beat the mission.
- After the cinematic, deal with four gangsters (as you've said)
- Get into the truck. After a bunch of gangsters on trucks arrive, keep
running over all of them until you kill them or they will lose all of
their ammo.
- After then, ride forward, between a building labeled "LOST HEAVEN
PORT" and a warehouse with parked truck (IIRC, where the cigar boxes are
in Mission 18). Two-three gangsters will appear. Just use the same running
over strategy.
- After you've dealt with these gangsters, continue going in the same
direction as before. You'll see some grass path between the fence and a
building (2 yellow barrels are near it). Follow this path, until you see a
house
with red/brown roof, Bolt Ace Pickup parked outside it and two
gangsters. Just run them over once again.
- Now you should see a warehouse with four "NO PARKING" gates and a
door. Enter this door. In this passage, open the second door at right,
you'll see a guy there (he's a sniper). He doesn't turn around, so just hit him
from back with any gun. Grab his rifle. There is also a fist aid kit in
the next room.
- Now use Bolt Ace Pickup(little truck) parked somewhere (if you can't
find it, using a truck, go to 2 big black barrels, turn right there and
follow railroad tracks until you bump into two platforms with a locomotive
parked to rightmost of them. Kill all the gangsters(3) there, using a
rifle you've obtained. Bolt Ace Pickup should be there return to big black
barrels) and go to those black barrels on platforms.
- After either of this ways, you should have got Bolt Ace Pickup and
stand near 2 barrels on platforms. Use them to open the warehouse. Watch
the cutscene. Return back to Bolt Ace Pickup.
- Now, using the car, ride inside the warehouse, turn left between two
vertical columns(that's where small Bolt Ace Pickup comes in handy) and
follow the track. So you won't need to deal with all of that gangsters. Near
the end of track turn left a bit into the opening, and Sergio should pop
up there!!! If your speed is good enough, you'll kill the bastard without
even a single shot! Now, refill your health with a first aid kit, and
return back using the same car. Once outside, I think you know what to do."

----------------------
- The Music of Mafia -
----------------------
The music featured in Mafia is mostly authentic period jazz, and it highlights
one of the genre's most famous icons: Django Reinhardt. The following
information has been mixed and matched from two articles I wrote earlier for
the Mafia Union. You can find these articles here:
"Music in Mafia":
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/read_article.php?topic_id=23707479&union_i
d=2320
"Music in Mafia (Part III)":
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/read_article.php?topic_id=24782286&union_i
d=2320
Additionally, I'd recommend checking out the following sites for more
information on the soundtrack, including the ability to listen to selected
tracks:
http://mafiascene.com/modules.php?name=content&cid=18
http://mafiascene.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10254
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=222256
http://www.last.fm/music/Mafia+Soundtrack
Of course, if you'd like the soundtrack for yourself, on your own computer,
you're not out of luck. All you need is the Mafia Data Xtractor, readily
available from MafiaScene. After getting the Xtractor that matches your version
of the game, use a program such as winzip or winrar to unzip the Data Xtractor.
Set its target destination as your main Mafia directory (e.g. C:/Program
Files/Mafia).
Next, open the Data Xtractor folder and run the Data Xtractor. Choose whichever
data files you'd like to extract. You can do them all if you wish (though this
will take quite a bit of time and disk space). However, in order to listen to
the music, all you have to extract is the "music" file.
After doing this, return to the main Mafia directory. You should see a new
folder named SOUNDS. Open it. Inside, you will find a folder named MUSIC and
(if you also extracted "sounds") thousands of sound clips. Either way, open the
MUSIC folder. You should now be at C:/Program Files/Mafia/SOUNDS/MUSIC
Here, you will find the music featured in the game. All the tracks are in .ogg
format. Most popular music players should be able to play this type of file. If
yours cannot, you may have to find a converter. Otherwise, you're good to go.
You now have all that great Mafia music on your own computer, at high quality
and zero load time. Enjoy.
Now, for the actual descriptions. Each song will have the filename (in
quotation marks), the song's actual name (if known), the artist's name (if
known), and notes about the song (including where you can hear it in-game):

After saying that "my personal review of the game Mafia will be written soon,"
I never actually wrote such a review. Instead, I did even more: I wrote a
review and comparison duo-document. Please see "Mafia vs. The Godfather" in the
Miscellaneous section. This document not only provides in-depth reviews of BOTH
games, but also compares and contrasts their qualities.
Still, I present these other excellent reviews to shed some light onto this
spectacular game. These reviews all appear here, simply to give you additional
information about the game. Also, if you are reading this, and haven't yet
purchased the game, let these reviews stand as examples for why you should or
shouldn't buy it. As this guide was created and is maintained under non-profit
criteria, I have included reviews written by commercial businesses. If the
reviewer, or any official from their company opposes my use of their review in

- PC Version Review -
----------------------
I've selected a review of the PC version of Mafia to provide some critical
analysis of the game.
The following is quoted verbatim from the review by Bert Salkmoor, PC Gamer
reviewer, in the December 2002 (Volume 9, Number 12) issue, pages 90 and 91.
PC Gamer is a member of Future Networks. A copy of this review (minus all but
one picture) can be found here:
http://www.pcgamer.com/reviews/archives/reviews_dec02_mafia.html
"Mafia
When this disk hits your drive like a big pizza pie, that's amore
Organized crime has inspired some of the best films and television shows ever
made - the Godfather trilogy, GoodFellas, and The Sopranos, to name just a
few. We've been waiting patiently for eons to play a PC game that really took
full advantage of this fascinating and action-packed atmosphere.
Thanks to Illusion Softworks (the Czech Republic developer responsible for
Hidden & Dangerous), that time has come. Mafia: City of Lost Heaven is a
fantastic game, as well as a firsthand look at what it might have been like to
be a "made man" back in the "glory" days of the 1930s.
You play the role of Tommy Angelo, who, after a life spent working for the
Salieri family, decides to "flip" (mob-speak for becoming a traitor and
working with the law to bring down your former associates) when he's ordered
to kill some friends. Told as a series of flashbacks, the 20 missions of the
campaign offer an amazing array of tasks to accomplish, ranging from stealthy
assassinations to intense shootouts to competing in an auto race. Grand Theft
Auto III is definitely a major influence on the game design, and always for
the better.
The biggest complaint that most players will have with Mafia is that you must
get yourself to wherever your mob-designated assignment is taking place. So
you'll have to drive to and fro, making sure all the while that you obey
traffic laws, as one slip-up means game over when you're pulled over by cops.
This method may be realistic and can even be construed as a gameplay
challenge, but an option to zip to the beginning of the action sequences would
have been much appreciated.
Mafia's technical aspects are among the best in the business. It's rare in
this day and age to be truly impressed by a game's graphics, but a lot of your
early game time will be spent just marveling at the scenery. Those just
scraping by with the minimum system requirements will still get a gorgeous, if
somewhat sluggish, experience, but if you've been looking for an excuse to
upgrade your video card, here's an excellent one. Most of the vehicles (more
than 60 are eventually available) look like they were imported via time
machine, and the texture-mapping of peoples' faces is outstanding. (There are
no "faccia brutas" in this game.)
The soundtrack is filled with sounds of the era, and though some of the voice-
acting can be charitably classified as "merely acceptable," the overall effect
of music and speech pulls you further into the game's alternate reality. Cut-
scenes between missions are movie-like in their presentation, the camera is
almost always in a good position, and, for me, the game was refreshingly
crash-free throughout. The one fly in the antipasto is that even on the
burliest machines, the graphics at the far horizon tend to "pop in" a little
too noticeably. It's not disastrous, but with other details so stunning, this
hiccup can be somewhat distracting.
Backing up the sights and sounds is some of the best third-person action
gaming since Grand Theft Auto III. Yes, the comparisons are valid, but only to
a point: Mafia is much more focused on its story and, in turn, is more linear
than GTA III. That's not a bad thing, as the result is a more structured form
of storytelling, but keep it in mind if you think GTA III's open-ended style
is the model for all future action gaming.
Mafia also has a separate Free Ride mode, which offers a chance to explore the
city at your own pace. This mode lets you adjust the amount of traffic, the
number of people walking the streets, and how long the arm of the law will be.
Completing the campaign opens up more options, including Free Ride Extreme.
Here you completely rid yourself of the pesky police force, and open the
opportunity to gain further vehicles by completing odd-job tasks. While it's
nowhere near as fun as the campaign (or GTA III, for that matter), this
loosening of the belt is a good bonus, and just adds another checkmark to the
positive side of the ledger.
Most of those negative checkmarks come from Mafia's dedication to realism. In
addition to the driving requirement, another vehicle-related issue is that the
cars are incredibly true to their real-life 1930s counterparts, meaning that
most of them pretty much suck. Forget about high-speed chases - you'll be
lucky if you can even get these babies started the first few times you turn
the key! A few of the missions also seem a little too scripted, in that they
don't reward you for thinking outside the box because events need to proceed a
specific way to set the stage for later actions. Finally, you get a fairly
generous but still limited save-game system that may frustrate some players
during the more difficult missions.
None of these complaints, though, takes away from the fact that Mafia is one

FINAL VERDICT
HIGHS: Extremely high production values; interesting and varied missions;
tells a great story.
LOWS: May be a bit too realistic; some irritating voice-acting; may be too
linear for some GTA III fans.
BOTTOM LINE: The combinations of story, gameplay, and razzle-dazzle won't
disappoint.

- Console Version Review -
---------------------------
The following review applies to the PS2 and Xbox versions of Mafia. In general,
we can assume the only differences between the PS2 and Xbox games are controls
and a slight graphical superiority on the Xbox. Though the console version is
generally considered to be worse than the PC one, it is still a relatively
decent game, and gives at least some indication of how good the PC version is.
The following review was copied verbatim from the January 27th, 2004 review, by
Greg Kasavin. A transcript of this review can be found on the following pages:

Difficulty: Medium
Learning Curve: About a half hour
Because the PS2 version of Mafia compromises the PC version's graphical
presentation and also introduces more interruptions into the gameplay, it comes
off like a mere shadow of the original.
After years in development, the original PC version of Mafia quietly
materialized on store shelves during the dog days of summer 2002. Surprisingly,
it turned out to be, by far, one of the year's best action games. Though it
superficially resembled some sort of 1930s-era Grand Theft Auto, Mafia was a
story-driven game that featured excellent on-foot shooting action as well as
surprisingly realistic driving sequences. Beyond that, it produced an
incredibly convincing atmosphere. A year and a half later, a PlayStation 2 port
of Mafia has finally arrived. It doesn't skimp on the game's mature content,
but playing this version of the game is roughly equivalent to watching The Lord
of the Rings trilogy on a small, black-and-white TV/VCR combo as opposed to the
silver screen. Granted, this is perhaps about as faithful a translation as
could have been expected, since Mafia was expressly designed to push the PCs
and graphics cards of yesteryear to their limits. Explanations aside, because
the PS2 version of Mafia unavoidably compromises the PC version's graphical
presentation--while also introducing longer loading times and injecting more
interruptions into the gameplay--it comes off like a mere shadow of the
original. It's certainly not a bad game, but there's a far superior version of
it still available.
Like the Grand Theft Auto games, Mafia features a large, clockwork city that
you may theoretically explore at your leisure either by car or on foot. The
game can seamlessly switch between driving and shooting sequences, and should a
vehicle you're driving sustain too much damage, you may get out and carjack
some unlucky soul for his or hers. The superficial similarities pretty much end
here. Unless you're playing one of the game's supplemental "free ride" modes,
you probably won't be joyriding around the Prohibition-era, Chicago-style city
of Lost Heaven, which is where the action of the game takes place. For one
thing, the early automobiles featured in this game generally just aren't much
fun to drive. (They're clunky; they have poor brakes; and they have a way of
fishtailing out of control if you turn too sharply.) For another thing, much
like in The Getaway, the seeming open-endedness of the gameworld is really just
there to give atmosphere to an otherwise completely linear, mission-based game.
In Mafia, you play as Thomas Angelo, who starts out as a taxi driver but soon
gets involved with the mob. The story is told in retrospect, so you're
introduced to Tommy during the late 1930s while he is confessing the events of
his sordid past to a detective--in exchange for witness protection. In the PC
version of the game, the story unfolded via lengthy cutscenes rendered with the
game's impressive 3D engine. On the PS2, these cutscenes have been rendered
into videos, and they don't look quite as good today as they used to. The
characters' faces can be very expressive, and the motion-captured animations
look great, but characters' hands are stiff like mannequins, and their eyes
just stare blankly. Nevertheless, the story is one of the main attractions. It
takes itself seriously, includes some surprising twists, and handles its mature
content tastefully. In short, it actually tries to be a good story.
In consequence, the pacing of the actual game has some problems. You'll mostly
spend the first few hours of the game just driving around Lost Heaven. Tommy
falls into his life of crime; he doesn't go looking for it. Unfortunately,
these driving sequences, which are most abundant at the beginning of the game
but remain a core element throughout Mafia, just aren't very enjoyable. On the
PC, the strikingly authentic presentation of the city of Lost Heaven made these
driving sequences wonderful to behold, even though they were naturally slow-
paced. On the PS2, the city itself looks quite poor. Flat, blurry, overused
textures are everywhere, the car models lack detail, the power lines running
between buildings look ugly, and more. What's particularly annoying is that
you'll end up having to frequently drive from one side of Lost Heaven to the
other, but just as you cross the midpoint of the city, a loading screen
jarringly appears and takes its sweet time before it goes away. The driving
sequences in the PC version of Mafia were all about atmosphere, but on the PS2,
this is largely missing. The atmospheric remnants from the PC version include
some excellent ambient sounds as well as an upbeat and appropriate jazz
soundtrack, which features cuts from some of the era's greatest musicians.
The PC version of Mafia presented a surprisingly detailed simulation of what it
might be like to drive around on old streets in old cars. You needed to obey
traffic laws, by stopping at red lights, not exceeding the speed limit, and
things like that, or else cops in the vicinity would pull you over and give you
a citation. Of course, the mob foots the bill, so a citation is just an
inconvenience. On the PS2, since all the driving just feels like a chore, at
least you don't have to worry about this stuff quite as much. The speed limit
has been increased, as if to acknowledge that the best thing about the driving
sequences is getting them out of the way as quickly as possible. In any case,
it's pretty easy to navigate the city thanks to the presence of a map that you
can instantly switch to, which shows where you are and where you're headed. The
game's occasional chase sequences are interesting, since they're chase
sequences in lousy old cars, but they're not particularly enjoyable either.
Still, Mafia allows you and your cohorts to shoot while driving, which is a
nice touch.
The shooting sequences also suffer somewhat in translation to the PS2, partly
due to the decline in graphics and partly due to the gamepad controls, which
were originally designed with a keyboard-and-mouse control scheme in mind.
Mafia plays like a standard third-person shooter, only without the annoying
camera problems intrinsic to many games of this type. The camera here works
great--the default third-person perspective seamlessly switches to a first-
person point of view whenever Tommy's in a situation where your view of the
action might otherwise be obstructed, such as when he's in a narrow hallway.
Tommy has no special abilities to speak of, unless you count his ability to
roll side to side in a moderately useful evasive maneuver. To compensate for
the analog aiming's lack of precision, the controller's L2 and R2 buttons work
to automatically snap your aim on to an enemy who's on the left or right of
your targeting reticle, respectively. This isn't a bad solution, but it makes
the shoot-outs pretty simple, once you get the hang of them. However, the
game's low-resolution graphics can make it tough to see when someone's shooting
at you from afar, and it's hard to tell when Tommy's taking damage. Also, the
frame rate takes a dip when too much action is happening at once. One
interesting thing about the on-foot action is that when Tommy reloads his
weapons, he throws out the ammo clip that's currently in the weapon...along
with any ammo in it. Ammo can be pretty scarce, so at times you'll need to
think carefully about whether or not it's worth it to throw away a two-or-
three-round clip for a fresh one.
Though the driving sequences look very bland and the frame rate is pretty
sketchy, Mafia isn't a bad-looking game overall. It just looks OK. As
mentioned, the character models are actually quite good, and many of the
animations are excellent. The indoor environments are relatively more detailed
than the outdoor ones, but unfortunately even these are missing some important
details; for instance, don't expect to see any sign of damage to the
environment after a heated shootout. The audio has naturally survived the
translation more intact than the graphics, and by and large, it's still
outstanding. The voice acting performances aren't exceptional, but they're
understated and pretty natural. Ambient sounds in Lost Heaven, as well as the
sounds of gunfire and of cars crashing, are all very well done. Another nice
touch is that vehicles all have authentic-sounding car horns, so you can sound
your horn to make pedestrians get out of your way.
Mafia's story mode features about 20 big missions. Once it gets going, it
switches between the driving and shooting pretty effectively--and all in the
context of a good story. In addition, you'll unlock some extras along the way
that mostly focus on the driving portion of the game, which unfortunately isn't
all that fun. If you only played the PS2 version of Mafia, you'd still get a
sense of its ambitious nature, and you'd enjoy some of its finer points, but
you'd also miss out on the PC version's outstandingly good graphics and its
much more seamless gameplay experience. The PlayStation 2 is obviously well
equipped to handle many types of games, but it's hard to imagine how a game
like Mafia could have been ported to the system without some significant
compromises--just like the ones exhibited by this version of the game."
(here are some of the picture captions that appeared throughout the review)
"Mafia is an outstanding PC game, but it loses a lot of its impressive
presentation in translation to the PS2."
"You'll need to be patient through some rather tedious driving sequences. Just
be thankful we're not driving jalopies like these anymore."
"Tommy can take care of business by using a variety of firearms, as well as by
using more practical devices like baseball bats."
"The PS2 version of Mafia doesn't hold a candle to the PC original, so if you
have the means of playing the latter version instead, you should."

- Mafia vs. The Godfather -
---------------------------
For a very long time, I had a blurb in this guide saying that "my personal
review of the game Mafia will be written soon." Well, I never actually wrote
such a review. Instead, I did even more: I wrote a review and comparison duo-
document comparing two of the biggest Mafia-related games. So in place of a
formal review of Mafia, I decided to create "Mafia vs. The Godfather - The
Conclusive Analysis." This document provides in-depth reviews for BOTH games,
and a comparison of nearly all their features. You can view the original
document here:
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=24873792&uni
on_id=2320
So without further ado, I present my analysis:
Mafia vs. The Godfather - The Conclusive Analysis
Presented by Bloviator
After many months, many threads, and many thoughts, I have decided to compile
piles of data on two great games. While this analysis should provide
information and insight into both games, whatever extra information it uncovers
or additional conclusions it draws are only secondary. Simply put, I intend to
answer the following question: Which is better, Mafia or The Godfather?
This analysis will be (as the name suggests) conclusive to say the least.
Before I begin, let me outline exactly how this massive document will be
constructed. Each game will be compared and contrasted, side by side, in a
series of tiered categories. These will be:
Graphics - Anything having to do with the game's graphics. Characters,
environments, cars, and more can all be found here.
Audio - Everything from sound effects to dialogue to music will be contained
within this section.
Gameworld - This category covers the feeling and ambience of both games'
cities, covering many of the same topics as in the Graphics category, but from
a different perspective. Gameworld will also address the storyline and plot of
the two games.
Gameplay - The most obvious, most important, and largest category, Gameplay
will cover nearly every aspect of how each game is played.
Other - The Other or miscellaneous section will contain everything from
consoles to professional reviews to value.
Each category will contain numerous sub-sections in which the games are
compared head to head. At the end of each (macro)category, the "winners" of
each sub-section are recapped, each game is given an overall summary, and is
scored on a 1-10 scale. These data will be repeated for each category and
compiled at the end of this document. Now before we begin, a few notes:
Legal Note:

Author's Note:
Please don't devalue or disregard my analysis whether or not you agree with it.
Feel free to comment in the appropriate section to give feedback, or voice your
opinions. Also note that both games' scores have been weighted somewhat so as
to compare them more effectively.
Alright. Enough legal and notice stuff. Let's get on to the analysis.
Today I bring you a great fight between two prize fighters. In this corner,
Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. And in this corner, The Godfather: The Game.
Category 1 - Graphics
Section 1 - Character Graphics
Mafia:
Like any good, story-driven narrative, Mafia's characters are critical to the
plot. Each is portrayed in a unique and realistic view. The facial textures for
all characters (though more pronounced in the main characters) are very high
quality (especially considering when the game was made). However, this
realistic view degrades somewhat in other parts of the body. While the
believable faces add to the feeling and realism of the game, a close shot of a
blocky hand can often ruin the drama.
The Godfather:
In a story as famous as The Godfather, character image and realism is of great
importance. In this category, The Godfather: The Game delivers. All the main
characters from the film are portrayed with real and believable textures. The
only exception to this is Michael, but this is due to legal issues (his
likeness is not allowed in any other game besides Scarface, due to legal
restrictions). However, the true place where The Godfather distinguishes itself
from Mafia is in its portrayal of the entire body. Where Mafia floundered with
blocky and chunky fingers, arms, and legs, The Godfather upholds the realistic
beauty of its characters. From facial nuances to fluttering coat tails, The
Godfather has superb character graphics.
Category 1, Section 1 Winner: The Godfather
Section 2 - Environment Graphics
Mafia:
From the scenic waterfront to the gritty Works Quarter, Mafia's fictional city
- Lost Heaven - is an amazing and remarkable place. Every inch of the city
shows both beauty and uniqueness. For although Lost Heaven is large and
widespread, it never feels old. While few buildings can be entered or really
interacted with, their image and realism offsets this disappointment. Skeptics
may claim that Lost Heaven is just a pretty picture with no depth and no
interactivity. While this may be true, the city's realistic looks and feel give
it a charm all its own.
The Godfather:
Even Lost Heaven's picturesque landscapes are blown out of the water by The
Godfather's gritty image of 1940's New York. The few years between the two
games' productions seem to make all the difference. The graphical power and
capability available to The Godfather enables it to produce an amazingly
lifelike city. The Godfather doubles every graphical detail in Mafia, and adds
in a variety of its own. It brings not only a new style of art, but also sheer
realism. However, its one letdown, the one place where Lost Heaven continues to
shine, is in the area of uniqueness. Although The Godfather's New York is
stunningly rendered, the variety of objects, images, and styles is quite small.
Not just the handful of repeated interior textures, but everything from
skyscrapers to newspaper stands seems recycled and repetitive. While you may be
excited to see an accurately rendered Empire State Building or Brooklyn Bridge,
don't be surprised when all the "generic buildings" look identical. Despite
it's shortcomings on originality and freshness, The Godfather still edges out
in front of Mafia in environmental graphics.
Category 1, Section 2 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 3 - Vehicle Graphics
Mafia:
Few aspects of Mafia demonstrate both its realism and beauty as much as the
vehicles in the game. Over 60 different models are available, with amazing
rendering, down to the inch. The developers consulted and were assisted by a
number of classic car owners, all for the sake of realism. As much as I would
like to give an objective analysis focusing on both sides of the situation, the
cars in Mafia, from their styling to their deformation in crashes, are
beautiful. Few things come closer to perfection in any game ever.
The Godfather:
For a game that consistently delivers high quality graphics and realistic
textures, The Godfather fails to deliver in the area of cars. In fact, it
doesn't even come up short, it falls flat on its face. With only five vehicles
in the whole game (with a few different color options, woo hoo), I must wonder
if the developers just got lazy. As if this lack of variety wasn't enough, the
few cars that are available look unrealistic; like plastic. Additionally, the
car deformation is devoid of realism or believability. The cars in The
Godfather look and feel like toy models, not real cars. This weakness is
especially pronounced due to the size of the New York gameworld. Most of your
destinations are far away, and you will be driving much of the game. This only
further highlights the embarrassment that is The Godfather's cars.
Category 1, Section 3 Winner: Mafia.
Section 4 - Weapon Graphics
Mafia:
Like its cars, the weapons in Mafia are well rendered and authentic. A variety
of death-dealing is available, from melee weapons to firearms to molotov
cocktails. Once again, authenticity is key. While the graphics on weapons may
not seem all that important, they do have an influence on the overall graphical
quality.
The Godfather:
The Godfather's weapons, also like its cars, take a more "arcadey" route.
However, they are still well rendered and pictured. The most surprising and
jarring disappointment with the graphics on The Godfather's weapons are the
extremely low-res pixilated images of your guns (shown on your weapon inventory
or in the lower left hand corner of your screen).
Category 1, Section 4 Winner: Mafia.
Section 5 - Cinematics/Cutscene/Gameplay Graphics
(Note: This section will analyze and compare the differences in quality of
graphics in a cinematic, cutscene, and during regular gameplay).
Mafia:
Cinematography aside, Mafia's cutscenes remain stunning and graphically
intense. Although Mafia's cinematics use the game engine (as opposed to a
separate FMV sequence), most characters have special "cinematic only" models
that are slightly higher quality. The cutscene (in-game) and gameplay graphics
are the same, and only marginally worse than those in the cinematics. If it
still bothers you, there are mods available (or you can do it yourself) that
replace all in-game models with the slightly higher quality cinematic models.
The Godfather:
One of the amazing things that makes The Godfather unique and great is its
(graphically) seamless transitions from cinematics to gameplay. The quality of
the regular game graphics are just as high as those in cinematics or cutscenes.
For this reason, The Godfather edges out in front of Mafia in this category,
although both games have remarkably little difference between their cinematics
and gameplay.

Section 5 (Cinematic/Cutscene/Gameplay) - The Godfather
Category 1 General Analysis
Mafia:
While Mafia's graphics may be somewhat less than perfect for character models
and cityscapes, its amazingly accurate car and weapon detail makes up for this
imperfection. The crispness and realism of Mafia's graphics outweigh their
occasional "clunkyness." Graphics of its quality, especially from 2002 are
remarkable. Although new technology pushes the edge of graphical capability
further, and older graphics become more and more "ugly" Mafia remains a game
with strong and high-quality graphics.
The Godfather:
As a relatively new release, The Godfather provides excellent quality graphics
and "one-ups" Mafia in many categories. Although the car and weapon models
leave something to be desired, the overall quality of the characters, city, and
everything else place the Godfather in superb graphical standing.
Category 1 Overall Score
Mafia: 9/10
The Godfather: 10/10
Category 2 - Audio
Section 1 - Music (epic (cinematic))
Mafia:
Mafia highlights and empowers many of its most memorable moments though the use
of great epic music. The powerful orchestral score behind many of these scenes
helps to elevate the drama and provide a more moving experience. The music's
blend of unique, memorable, and moving tones significantly boosts the overall
quality of the game.
The Godfather:
Sticking to tradition, The Godfather's main score is the famous and
recognizable music that defined the film. Any fan will pick up the melody in a
heartbeat, and can tell you just how powerful it can be to them. Although it
may not be original, staying true to its source material, The Godfather
delivers a strong and moving musical performance.
Category 2, Section 1 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 2 - Music (general)
Mafia:
Once again, Mafia imbues its world with realism and believability. In this
case, through its soundtrack. A mixture of period jazz music and songs
illustrate and embody the feeling of Lost Heaven. The music is varied and
diverse, but doesn't stray too far in terms of genre. However, its feeling and
accuracy to the time period help to boost Mafia's presentation yet again.
The Godfather:
Unlike Mafia, The Godfather's general music is not very different from its
"epic" music. Basically, the feel and type of music played in the background
during regular gameplay is quite similar to the cinematic music. Although this
may again be related to the game's dedication to accuracy (towards the film) it
actually degrades the overall performance. The lack of variety seems to make
the game focus in on the Corleones and other families exclusively, rather than
all of New York. Whereas Mafia's music gives soul and realism to the game
world, The Godfather's restricts the world, making it feel too focused on the
main characters.
Category 2, Section 2 Winner: Mafia.
Section 3 - Dialogue (main)
Mafia:
Although Mafia was created by an almost unknown developer, the dialogue and
voice acting within the game is surprisingly high-quality and accurate. While
some of the characters may sound suspiciously similar to other actors (e.g.
Paulie and Joe Pesci), the character dialogue is still well done. Each of
Salieri's men provides a different voice which adds believability and soul to
their character. If anything, the main protagonist and player Tommy, has the
least dynamic or animated voice. Still, the main character dialogue and voice
acting in Mafia is generally high-quality and professional.
The Godfather:
Once again "one upping" Mafia, The Godfather provides superb voice acting and
dialogue. Almost all of the actors from the film were recast, nearly 30 years
later, to repeat old lines, and say some new ones as well. Despite this
significant time lapse, almost all of the characters sound exactly as they did
in the movie. Abe Vigoda, James Cann, Robert Duval and others all leapt back
into their famous roles as they provided excellent voice work. Shortly before
his untimely death, Marlon Brando was recorded saying his lines, and provides
The Godfather with the amazing feel that he gave to the movie. However, some of
the lines had to be added with an impersonator after his death. The only
exceptions to this superb quality are Michael (due to legal issues with
Paramount and Scarface: The World Is Yours, Pacino could not be fully
represented in voice or appearance in the game) and Fredo (as the actor John
Cazale died in 1978). Despite these minor flaws, the main character voice work
in the game is amazing.
Category 2, Section 3 Winner: The Godfather
Section 4 - Dialogue (general)
Mafia:
One of the weaknesses in Mafia can be found in general dialogue, or that from
secondary characters or random NPCs. Most notably, characters on the street
have the same few lines to say to you, over and over again. This is somewhat
negated by the decent voice work from secondary characters (e.g. Luigi, Big
Biff). However, the general dialogue is no where as lacking as in The
Godfather.
The Godfather:
To call the general voice acting in The Godfather "mediocre" would be far too
generous. To say the least, it's terrible. Like Mafia, most random characters
on the street say the same few lines, over and over. It appears that only a
handful of actors were cast for these roles, because all the voices sound the
same as well. Additionally, the minor characters that aren't just random NPCs
are just as bad as the pedestrians in quality and repetition. However, what
sets The Godfather apart as truly atrocious is the content of the phrases.
While it's annoying enough to hear "How do you do?" and "Watch it!" hundreds of
times, it's far worse to hear phrases that aren't applicable. Let me provide
some examples:
"That's it, we're moving to Jersey" (by a pedestrian ALREADY IN NEW JERSEY)
"Give my regards to the Don" (by a shopkeeper speaking to the player WHEN THE
PLAYER IS ALREADY THE DON)
"Don't forget about me when you're Don" (by a gangster speaking to the player
WHEN THE PLAYER IS ALREADY THE DON)
The worst part is that almost half of the phrases people say are only
applicable in certain situations and frustratingly out of place in most. These
are not things you hear every once in a while. You will literally hear these
inapplicable phrases HUNDREDS of times. Mafia may not have the best general
voice acting and dialogue, but in comparison to The Godfather, it's superb.
Category 2, Section 4 Winner: Mafia.
Section 5 - Sound Effects
Mafia:
When you think about it...well, that's exactly it, you don't. Sound effects are
rarely thought about or considered, unless they are especially notable or
especially terrible. However, Mafia has such a massive and diverse array of
sound effects that it's hard not to take notice. For anyone who used the
dataXtractor on the SOUNDS folder, you would see that there are nearly 10,000
different sound effects for everything from cars to weapons to ambient noise.
The boost that Mafia's sound effects give to the overall feel of the game,
while most likely overlooked, is actually quite noteworthy.
The Godfather:
Like Mafia, The Godfather has an appropriate variety of sound effects to cover
the many different elements of the game. However, in certain areas or types of
sound, the game falls a little short. Similarly to its graphical shortcomings
with vehicles and weapons, the audio for these objects is also rather mediocre.
While the game does do a fine and acceptable job of using sound effects, it
doesn't quite reach the level of excellence set by Mafia.
Category 2, Section 5 Winner: Mafia.
Category 2 (Audio) Recap/General Analysis
Category 2 Winners
Section 1 (Music (epic)) - The Godfather
Section 2 (Music (general)) - Mafia
Section 3 (Dialogue (main)) - The Godfather
Section 4 (Dialogue (general)) - Mafia
Section 5 (Sound Effects) - Mafia
Category 2 General Analysis
Mafia:
Mafia's audio presentation, like its graphics, bring realism and believability
to the gameworld. The accuracy, both to the Mafia genre and to the period, is
bolstered by the game's audio. The feel and ambience of the game too, is
greatly enhanced by many of Mafia's sounds and music. Only a handful of areas
are anything short of perfect, and the superb quality of everything else more
than compensates. Mafia provides a generally excellent audio production of very
high-quality.
The Godfather:
Despite the superb orchestral score and famous voice acting, The Godfather is
beset by a number of small problems with its audio. Most notably, the extreme
repetition of inaccurate or inapplicable statements by minor or random
characters detracts significantly from the experience. Whereas Mafia seeks
accuracy and realism towards the real life 1930's gangland, The Godfather
focuses more on accuracy and staying true to the film and novel. While The
Godfather has great audio production, it falls just short of the superb Mafia.
Category 2 Overall Score
Mafia: 10/10
The Godfather: 9/10
Category 3 - Gameworld
Section 1 - Plot/Story
Mafia:
In creating its storyline, Mafia draws both upon numerous Mafia movies of fame
(including The Godfather) and the real 1930's gangland. Its focus on Tommy, and
his path from taxi driver to Mafioso, is strong, believable, and moving. While
critics may point to specific points in the storyline that are all but
plagiarism from other pieces (e.g. The gun in the bathroom or the double-
crossing bodyguard), Mafia presents a unique tale that blends some of the best
aspects from the genre. As many people have asserted, Mafia could very well be
a successful blockbuster.
The Godfather:
What I plan to do in this section will probably be the most controversial and
disputable statement thus far. I assert that the plot in The Godfather: The
Game is actually inferior to that in Mafia. Now let me say, if comparing the
plots of Mafia and The Godfather (the film), The Godfather is clearly,
definitively, and indisputably superior. However, The Godfather: The Game has a
few elements that actually make its plot worse than Mafia's. Although it
generally sticks to the famous Godfather story, this alone does not guarantee
its "victory." The aspect of the game's plot that is problematic is its
disconnectivity due to character focus. Let me explain exactly what that means.
Because you play as a fictional character added to the story, rather than a
major character (such as Michael), you would normally be left out of all the
action. However, that wouldn't make a very good game, so the developers decided
to implant your character into many of The Godfather's most famous scenes. In
doing so, they damaged the cohesiveness of the plot. While many scenes are left
open enough in the film that they could merit the addition of a new character
(such as planting the gun for Michael or getting revenge for Bonasera), some of
these are not, and should not have your character in them. Anyone can tell from
the film that no one else comes to the hospital when the Don is wounded, that
no shadowy figure is in the restaurant when Michael kills Sollozzo, that Paulie
dies in the car without a chase, that Clemenza, Cicci, Neri and Lampone act
alone in the baptism montage, etc. Although one might accept these small
alterations for the sake of a better gaming experience, some are simply
inexcusable. For example, although it might make the game seem more full-
bodied, the eventual situation in which another man (your character) takes
control of the Corleone family far before the Vegas movement, Michael's journey
in Cuba, or the death of any other major characters (besides Don Vito), is
simply unacceptable and a defamation of the plot. The strange thing is that
almost every other aspect of the game (music, characters, voiceovers, etc.)
were very carefully maintained as accurate and true to the story. It seems so
odd then, that such drastic alterations of plot would be allowed. Moving on,
another situation in which the film's plot is damaged simply for the sake of
more gameplay is in the mission "Horseplay." Having notable Corleone men go to
Woltz's mansion, sneak in, kill guards, and "prepare" Khartoum is preposterous
and undermines (if not destroys) the entire point of that scene's existence.
The purpose of the segment (in the film) is to demonstrate the Corleone's
influence, not their physical power. However, the developers clearly saw a
better opportunity for a "stealth level" in their game, rather than actually
maintaining the power and beauty of the plot. A number of other similar
problems or inconsistencies are created by the transformation from film to
game. One final aspect of this "character based disconnectivity" is
demonstrated in the game's missions. As a result of choosing to focus only on
major events, these missions shift and jump around, significantly skewing the
chronological progression of the story. This is just another one of the minor
problems that together, create disconnectivity in the plot of The Godfather
(the game). I'm in no way saying that the plot is "bad", but am instead
asserting that Mafia's plot, with its straightforward and direct focus on a
main character who does not disrupt the continuity of the story, is slightly
superior.
Category 3, Section 1 Winner: Mafia.
Section 2 - Environment (outside)
Mafia:
As I've already explained in the graphics category, the city of Lost Heaven is
a spectacular and beautiful place. In terms of gameworld (more focus on
ambience and substance rather than flat out graphical power), Lost Heaven is an
amazing and scenic city. It shows variety in its different areas and every
building, stoplight, and tram is carefully rendered. However, the city seems in
many ways, to lack life. The term "living, breathing" doesn't quite apply here
as much as it does to The Godfather. Similarly, Lost Heaven's lack of
interaction or interactibility often makes it feel more like eye candy than
brain candy. Basically, Lost Heaven is a beautiful and picturesque city, but
with less substance than The Godfather's New York.
The Godfather:
In comparison to Mafia, The Godfather's rendition of 1940's New York is
different in a variety of ways. Firstly, it opts for a darker, grittier image
and portrayal of its city. Secondly (and most importantly), while the
buildings, streets, and inanimate objects may not look as amazing as Lost
Heaven's, New York seems far more alive. Additionally, far more things can be
interacted with in the city, and one rarely feels artificially blocked off from
any part of the world. Essentially, the feeling and ambience of The Godfather's
New York does exude far more believability as a real city than Lost Heaven,
although it might not be quite as pleasing to look at.
Category 3, Section 2 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 3 - Environment (inside)
Mafia:
One of the largest problems with the exterior environments in Mafia was that
few buildings could be entered. The world felt closed off and non-interactible.
Although few places in Lost Heaven allow for the player to enter a building,
those that do are unique and memorable. For the most part, only story mission
(not Freeride) involve the entrance into new locales. The Salieri Bar, Morello
Bar, Clark Motel, Racing Circuit, Hotel, Church, Farm, Airport, Mansion,
Parking Garage, Restaurant, Steamboat, Harbor, Prison, Bank and Art Gallery all
feel extremely unique and special. While no average building on the street can
be entered, the specific buildings that can be during story missions make up
for this fact with their dazzling design and memorable feel.
The Godfather:
The Godfather takes the opposite route than Mafia for interior environments.
Whereas Mafia has few interactable buildings, but unique and memorable
interiors for these few, the Godfather has hundreds of interactable buildings,
but almost no variety. Although it does make the game somewhat easier, the
redundancy within all of the game's buildings is really quite a letdown. It is
nice to be able to enter at least one or two buildings on practically every
street in the game. Still, the immense recycling of textures outweighs this
benefit. Every single bakery looks the same. As does every flower shop, import
store, fish shop, etc. There are actually TWO different hotel models, but with
around 20 hotels in the game, you'll get just as sick of both. The heavy
repetition of textures outweighs the fact that there are more interactible
buildings. Simply put, quality wins over quantity.
Category 3, Section 3 Winner: Mafia.
Section 4 - Characters
Mafia:
Similar to its storyline/plot, the characters of Mafia represent a compilation
of icons and figures from film and reality. Like many other qualities of the
game, the characters help to bring believability and soul to the experience,
and round out the gameworld. The only problem with the characters is that some
may seem too similar to their source material. Still, they all feel real and
credible, rather than cliched or contrived.
The Godfather:
The characters in The Godfather helped to define the film. The same can be said
for the game. Although the minor or insignificant characters have their
problems, all of the major characters are superb. Despite the issues with
Michael (which I've explained before), almost all the characters are accurate
to their original personas from the film. These characters remain true and
accurate to the movie, and make sure not to diverge from their on-screen image.
The characters present are not just the main roles: The list is exhaustive. Not
only Michael, Don Vito, Sonny, Fredo, and Tom Hagen make appearances, but so do
Sal Tessio, Peter Clemenza, Willie Cicci, Rocco Lampone, Al Neri and more. The
great variety and quality of these characters help to strengthen the feel of
the game overall.
Category 3, Section 4 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 5 - Vehicles
Mafia:
One of the areas in which Mafia demonstrates is superb quality and excellence
is in its vehicles. Almost every model available during the 1930's, from simple
four-door sedan to stylish Silver Fletcher, is present. Perhaps more so than
anything else in the game, they lend an immense amount of realism, accuracy,
and believability to the gameworld. The selection is diverse and beautifully
rendered, showing off an immense array of vehicles.
The Godfather:
If the overly polished, plastic-like graphics of The Godfather's cars weren't
enough, their "addition" to the gameworld is even worse. The fact that only
five different cars exist (more if you count different colors, but I wouldn't)
is only the tip of the iceberg. They are unrealistic in almost every way. Some
of them don't even belong in 1940's New York, especially with the frequency
with which they appear. I need not rant much more about this game's cars, as
their sub-standard quality has already been established.
Category 3, Section 5 Winner: Mafia.
Section 6 - Weapons
Mafia:
Like its cars, the weapons in Mafia represent a wide variety of period firearms
that are realistic and accurate to the time. Everything from the bread and
butter Colt 1911 to the Mafia trademark 1928 Thompson and Lupara (Sawed-off
Shotgun) are available here. But it doesn't stop there. Mafia has police
pistols, bolt-action rifles, brass knuckles, grenades, and more. I have heard
that the Molotov cocktail is actually historically inaccurate (something to do
with Stalin and the name not being invented by 1930), but that is minor, and
only one case. Overall, the weapon selection is realistic and varied.
The Godfather:
Similar to ITS cars, The Godfather's weapons represent arcade mayhem over
realistic precision. Not only is the selection small (only 5 base firearms),
but most of the weapons are fictional, or just blatant anachronisms. Each of
the five basic weapons (revolver, pistol, magnum, machine gun, shotgun) starts
out as a real 1930's/40's weapon (.38 snub nose, Colt 1911, etc.). However, as
you upgrade each, they turn into weapons that did not exist at that time (Colt
Python, Street Sweeper) or ones that I don't think even exist at all
(Dillinger). The additional items you can get, such as dynamite and bombs, only
add to this sense of arcade style action.

Category 3 General Analysis
Mafia:
The gameworld in Mafia represents diversity and accuracy/realism. From the
period city to the period cars to the period weapons, Lost Heaven embodies a
1930's city split between normality and devastating gangland. While the lack of
interactivity in the city may make Lost Heaven seem like style over substance,
the interiors that you can visit, as well as just about everything else in the
game show otherwise. The world in which Mafia takes place is an amazing and
spectacular one; one that sets the game apart, and raises it to a new level.
The Godfather:
The world of 1940's New York that The Godfather creates is a memorable, if
unbalanced, one. While the buildings, streets, and outdoor environments seep
with ambience and flavor, the interiors quickly become a repetition of recycled
textures and objects. Similarly, the game's characters, like those in the
movie, are simply stunning, and add significantly to the feel of the game.
However, both the vehicles and weapons available are few in number, and
inaccurate and unrealistic in style. The gameworld of The Godfather is a
mixture of both very powerful and successful features and very poor ones that
detract from the experience. The end result, while still great, does not stand
up to that of Mafia.
Category 3 Overall Score
Mafia: 10/10
The Godfather: 9/10
Category 4 - Gameplay
Section 1 - General Style
Mafia:
Like many aspects of this game, Mafia's gameplay demonstrates authenticity and
realism. Although certain aspects had to remain unrealistic for the sake of
entertainment, these do not account for much of the gameplay. For example, the
action usually has a fair dose of tactics and strategy built into it. Running
in guns blazing might work, but it will probably just get you killed. Careful
and strategic use of cover, as well as judicious management of weapons and
ammunition help to build this sense of realism. Another aspect that
demonstrates this is, the completely manual (no auto-targeting or lock-on)
aiming system, which demands accuracy and precision. Mafia's action takes place
from a third-person viewpoint, with a fixed, over-the-shoulder camera. This
camera rarely has issues, and if forced into a tight space, will zoom in to a
quasi-first person mode. The game's AI is capable or competent, though not
extremely bright. However, it will rarely be poor enough to raise suspicion or
notice.
The Godfather:
Once again, while Mafia strives for realism, The Godfather opts for a more
arcade feel. Somewhere within this analysis, it was inevitable that the term
"GTA" would come up. The comparisons between Rockstar's (in)famous series and
The Godfather (and Mafia, to a lesser degree) are reasonable. The Godfather
enables the player to lock on to their enemies, allowing for much more accurate
targeting. The feel of your character's movement, driving, firing, etc. does
seem similar to that of Grand Theft Auto; Certainly more so than Mafia.
However, most of the other features of The Godfather's general style are no
different from any other game of that type. It features the same fixed third-
person camera (with few or no problems), the same movement, interaction, etc.
It is worth noting that the movement feels far less fluid than in Mafia,
especially when running. Although Mafia's movement animations might have less
frames, your character in The Godfather often seems to lurch forward, rather
than fluidly move around. The AI in The Godfather is surprisingly mediocre.
Their strategies, tactics, and movement are all very rudimentary. Additionally,
they often crouch behind cover that no longer exists.
Category 4, Section 1 Winner: Mafia.
Section 2 - Main/Story Missions
Mafia:
The entirety of Mafia's main storyline and gameplay is built into 20 different
missions. These encompass actions and activities from every character, in every
region of the city, over nearly a decade. With many missions involving the same
characters and starting and ending in the same place, one might assume that
Mafia's missions are monotonous and repetitive. However, if anything, Mafia's
missions are unique and varied. The group of characters who you see again and
again do not get boring. Instead, they become more human, and develop as real
individuals. They are complemented by a handful of additional characters that
Tommy comes into contact with throughout the story. Similarly, despite the
Salieri Bar being the beginning and end of most missions, the space in-between,
the bulk of the mission, is simply amazing. As I described in the gameworld
category, the multitude of locales you visit throughout the game each have
their own unique feel. From the Salieri Bar to a mansion to a restaurant to a
steamboat, unoriginality and repetition is anything but what Mafia delivers.
Within each of these locations, the gameplay also strays away from monotony.
Although you may have to shoot and kill numerous gangsters in each mission,
this process never gets old, and continues to feel fresh and new, thanks to
both the variety of the areas, and the variety of your tasks. These objectives
are not limited to "Go here and kill this person," but instead range from
sabotaging racecars to transporting Canadian whiskey. The only gripe that I can
anticipate regarding Mafia's missions is that you usually have to transport
yourself (via car) to the main event. With the sluggish 1930's cars, this can
be slightly annoying to an impatient gamer. However, this is only a minor
irritation. Overall, each of Mafia's 20 missions is amazing and memorable. From
the frightening first encounter, to the epic finale, no mission is a misfit or
a throwaway: They are all stunning masterpieces.
The Godfather:
Through The Godfather's use of "character implantation" (see category 3,
section 1), your character plays through many of the film's most famous scenes.
However, as you are not truly a main character, the value or entertainment of
many of these missions is reduced. For example, the meeting with Sollozzo and
McCluskey has the potential to be exiting and exhilarating. However, because
you are just a minor character, all you get to do is plant the gun and watch a
cinematic. Woo hoo... Other notable scenes, such as "Death to the Traitor" and
"Baptism By Fire" do involve your character to a greater degree. Still, you
feel very disconnected from the plot and evolution of the storyline. Like
Mafia, The Godfather's missions are unique and varied. Because you play through
the famous scenes from the movie, your objectives are rarely the standard
execution (though you will have to do your fair share of killing). However, the
breaks in the action for free roaming only add to the game's sense of
disconnectivity, and don't provide any depth or (figurative) character
development.
Category 4, Section 2 Winner: Mafia.
Section 3 - Free Roaming
Mafia:
Mafia's main missions offer very little in the way of independent exploration.
For the most part, the best one can do is an optional side quest. Instead,
Mafia includes "Freeride" and "Freeride Extreme", two separate modes,
selectable from the main menu. These enable you to roam freely throughout Lost
Heaven, doing as you please. "Freeride" allows you to choose your location,
vehicle, and other settings (unlockable as you progress through the main game),
but leaves you with no real objectives, and only some basic guidelines.
"Freeride Extreme" starts you off in your own house, with no modifiable options
(though there are no police), and offers a handful of bizarre and off-key
quests that unlock bonus cars for the regular "Freeride" mode. Although both of
these modes allow you to travel anywhere in the city and do as you please,
there is little depth, and all but diehard fans or gamers with great
imaginations will soon find themselves bored.
The Godfather:
The Godfather copies the style of other games, such as Freelancer, Morrowind,
or even, you guessed it, Grand Theft Auto. In the space between major story
missions, the game gives you free reign within the city. While there are side-
quest Contract Hits, there are not numerous employers as in GTA. Your actions
are mostly limited to extorting more businesses, taking over more rackets,
accruing or spending money, and going after minor achievements. Generally,
after certain criteria are met, you will be contacted to take on the next story
mission. Although these segments may sound like "filler," they are a refreshing
break from the missions, and can be quite entertaining. Most notably, they are
far better than those in Mafia, unless your only consideration is pure and
unrestricted freedom.
Category 4, Section 3 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 4 - Vehicles
Mafia:
In previous sections, I described the beauty, realism, and variety that Mafia
offers in the way of its vehicles. In terms of gameplay, I will focus on how
the car behaves, drives, plays, etc. In keeping true to its realism, many of
the early 1930's cars are weak and underpowered by today's standards. They
accelerate slowly, can hardly break 60 mph, and slow to a crawl going up steep
hills. Some may not even start the first time you turn the key. However
irritating this may sound, it only adds to the period accuracy of the game. You
have to be willing to accept this. If not, you should be playing Need For
Speed, and not this game.
The Godfather:
Up to this point, I have only complained and harangued The Godfather for having
only a handful of cars, which were ugly, unrealistic, plastic-like and
"arcadey". However, I now present the worst aspect yet: how they drive. I don't
know whether the developers wanted to make the game feel like GTA, or if they
just never took a physics class in their lives. Either way, the behavior of The
Godfather's cars is laughable, absurd, and ridiculous. All other negatives
aside, the cars can all accelerate 0-60 in a matter of seconds, can fly over
100 mph (although there is no actual speedometer), can egregiously swerve left
and right and easily correct without fishtailing, and can stop, turn, and flip
a 180 on a dime. I am having difficulty finding the words to describe how
atrocious the vehicle gameplay is in this game. There really isn't much more to
say.
Category 4, Section 4 Winner: Mafia.
Section 5 - Weapons
Mafia:
Due to both the types of weaponry available, and the lack of any auto-aiming
mechanism, Mafia's weapons feel quite realistic. The damage done by even the
weakest firearm is quite notable, and will put any gangster (including
yourself) down quite quickly. The shotguns are guaranteed lethal at close
range, as are the rifles from far away. Each gun has its own unique feel, which
is both powerful and realistic. Most of the other features of Mafia's weapons
have been described in earlier categories.
The Godfather:
In keeping constant with other elements of the game, The Godfathers weapons are
unrealistic and inaccurate (to history, not in their aim). The weakest pistol
in this game is literally a pea shooter, and you will have to empty more than
an entire clip to bring down a tough opponent. Similarly, with the amount of
health/HP you can hold later on in the game, multiple close-range shotgun
blasts, or entire Thompson drums may not finish you off. The game does feature
increased (x6) damage on headshots, but this is only one of the few aspects of
actual realism.
Category 4, Section 5 Winner: Mafia.
Section 6 - Save System
Mafia:
Mafia uses a "checkpoint" save system, where each of the game's 20 missions
have around 5-8 points where the game is saved. Although many gamers
(especially PC gamers) have an intense dislike of a checkpoint system, and
prefer a "save anywhere" system, Mafia actually benefits from it. After playing
the game, you should understand how being able to save anywhere would upset the
drama, whereas the checkpoints keep you excited, on the edge of your seat, but
not angry. The checkpoints are fair and reasonable. Although you will have to
reload some of them a few times, there are almost no places where the placement
of checkpoints is too sparse.
The Godfather:
In The Godfather, the only way you can save your game is by going to a
safehouse. A few of these will be provided to you for free, but most of the
safehouses will have to be purchased. They can include not only a "save bed"
but also health, weapons, cars, etc. In order to save your game, you might have
to take a slight detour from your current location, but there are enough
safehouses to keep you from going too far. However, you cannot save during a
mission, and can only access your safehouse(s) while free roaming. Still, the
system is fair and reasonable, just not quite as good as Mafia's.
Category 4, Section 6 Winner: Mafia
Section 7 - Death and Failure
Mafia:
While death will be your primary method of failure in Mafia, running out of
time, abandoning your partners, killing a major character (friendly), or being
arrested will also cause you to fail the current mission. Regardless of the
situation or circumstances, failure will result in an option between retrying
and exiting to the main menu. Retry will simply reload your most recent
checkpoint and you'll be off and on your way. In the main game missions, this
system is fine, but in extended or lengthy Freeride sessions, having to start
all over again can be frustrating.
The Godfather:
During main story missions, The Godfather acts much like Mafia in that failure
will result in a reload from a previous mission checkpoint (you can't actually
load these manually though). However, where The Godfather leaps ahead is in the
free roaming parts of the game. Here, death (or arrest) will send you to the
doctor/hospital or jail. Though it will be recorded on your character
statistics, and you will lose a few hundred dollars, you will retain all
weapons, progress, etc. This is greatly superior to the simple yet punishing
system in Mafia's Freeride.
Category 4, Section 7 Winner: The Godfather
Note: Sections 8, 9 and 10 represent 3 of the sub-criteria when writing a
review on GameSpot.
Section 8 - Difficulty
Mafia:
With its checkpoint save system, powerful weapons and lack of auto-aim, Mafia
might seem to be a difficult game. However, the tutorial, easy starting
missions, and all other aspects of the game help to ease the pain. Although it
might seem impossible at times, the game is best placed at the "Just Right" or
"Hard" level.
The Godfather:
The arcade or GTA-like qualities of The Godfather noticeably reduce the game's
difficulty. Although taking on hubs and compound will probably give you some
trouble regardless, the game generally falls into the "Easy" category.
Category 4, Section 8 Winner: Mafia.
Section 9 - Learning Curve
Mafia:
Although Mafia is relatively simple, with little material to learn, it has a
reasonable learning curve, due to difficulty and a need for experience. Nearly
all of the game's features, from the obvious to the unusual, are explained
within the helpful tutorial. Still, a good 30-60 minutes of general playtime
will probably be necessary to hone your skills and become experienced with the
game's features.
The Godfather:
The Godfather has significantly more elements to learn than Mafia. Not only
physical interaction, such as how to grapple, strangle, throw, etc., but also
extortion tactics, weapon use, executions, driving, and how the income system
works, all require explanation. However, The Godfather's excellent use of the
first few missions as tutorials help to ease the gamer into the game's many
features. However, this slow process does add to the learning curve time, but
remains beneficial in the long run. I would rate it better than Mafia, but
about the same 30-60 minutes to be capable and competent.
Category 4, Section 9 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 10 - Overall Time Played
Mafia:
Beyond the main 20 story missions, Mafia offers Freeride (with a multitude of
options) and Freeride Extreme. For the average player, going through the entire
story and all Freeride Extreme missions would probably take somewhere around
30-40 hours. Additional exploration within the missions or Freeride (there are
a number of Easter eggs) would probably reach into the 40-100 hour region. I
know that I, personally, have spent over 100 hours playing Mafia. However, for
the average gamer, I would expect the total to fall into either the 20-40 hours
or 40-100 hours category.
The Godfather:
Because The Godfather offers such a large game world with so much to interact
with, it is unsurprising that the game can last so long. To complete a regular
game, straight through, will probably be around the same 30 hour mark as Mafia.
However, if you are striving for a "perfect game" the hundreds of shops and
rackets that need to be extorted, the execution styles that need to be
completed, the film reels that need to be collected (etc.) all will stretch out
the total time into the 40-100 hours category. However, by the time you are Don
of NYC (the highest rank), there will be no enemy gangsters remaining. Although
your promotion bonus is infinite ammo, you have no one to use it on except
pedestrians, cops, or the rare random gangster. Even if you seek out the
"Random Encounter" areas, you'll get, at best, a handful of enemy gangsters.
There will be no more compounds to blow up, no more hubs to storm. As soon as
you become Don of NYC, the game gets very old, very fast. Mafia might not last
the average gamer quite as long, but when given time and interest, it has
significantly greater longevity.

Category 4 General Analysis
Mafia:
Like much of the game, Mafia's gameplay places realism and period accuracy
first. From the fully manual aiming to the authentic cars and weapons, every
aspect of how Mafia is played reflects accuracy. While the Freeride and
Freeride Extreme modes may not offer more than a few hours of entertainment,
the main story missions are captivating and memorable. Some aspects of Mafia's
gameplay may be less than perfect, but overall, the game is amazing.
The Godfather:
While the number of section "victories" The Godfather claimed in this section
might suggest that its gameplay is poor, this is not the case. More accurately,
most of The Godfather's gameplay is quite good, just slightly below the high
standards set by Mafia. In addition to the minor problems with the storyline
(see category 3, section 1), the most notable gameplay issues in The Godfather
stem, yet again, from weapons and vehicles. Other than that, it does its best
to match Mafia, but comes up just short of superb.
Category 4 Overall Score
Mafia: 9/10
The Godfather: 8/10
Category 5 - Other
Section 1 - Console Versions
Mafia:
Mafia was originally released for the PC and the PC only. However, after
selling well, additional versions for the PS2 and Xbox were made. Although the
two versions (the PS2 and Xbox count as one version) have almost everything in
common, they feel like very different games. Most notably, and what this
section is concerned with, the console versions are of significantly lower
quality. Although some features were added (such as more arrows to clarify
where the player was intended to go), the two games were not very different.
The console versions did not have Freeride Extreme, but they did have an
additional Race Mode. However, the biggest problem was that the aiming
controls, which required precision, simply could not replicate on a controller
what a mouse and keyboard could provide. As such, the game was either too
frustrating, or had to be "dumbed down" to work with a controller.
The Godfather:
With the exception of the Xbox 360 version, all major consoles and the PC
version of The Godfather released simultaneously. As such, they have almost
identical content, style, and form. The fact that The Godfather has lock-on
aiming and other arcade-like features similar to those in Grand Theft Auto help
to avoid the mistakes Mafia made. This, when coupled with the single release
date, makes the game feel singular and universal, and equally playable on all
systems.
Category 5, Section 1 Winner: The Godfather.
Section 2 - Reviews
Mafia:
Despite its underground roots from an all but unknown Czech developer, Mafia
quickly rose into the spotlight of many professional reviews. Although it was
not as big a release as The Godfather, its critical acclaim, especially from
noteworthy magazines such as PC Gamer, helped to bring it a larger audience. To
the uninformed, it holds little appeal, which is probably why it has far fewer
player/community reviews than The Godfather. However, if you do some research
(and reading this monumental analysis definitely counts), you will find that
Mafia is quite amazing.
The Godfather:
Just given the name of this game, all hype aside, would be enough to garner the
interest of many gamers. As such, professional reviews quickly sprung up from
the game's release. Due to The Godfather's well known, if not iconic, nature,
many fans began to provide their own reviews as well. However, in the end,
quality surpasses quantity, and Mafia's excellence proved superior to The
Godfather's following.
Category 5, Section 2 Winner: Mafia.
Section 3 - Press
Mafia:
As I described before, a game entitled simply "Mafia", coming out of a small
Czech developer did not make much of a stir in the gaming world. Although press
increased as reviews touted the game as brilliant, it still did not reach a
level of fame that is common with well-known videogames. However, press does
not make a game, as I have already proven in this analysis.
The Godfather:
With a big-name publisher and an even bigger-name title, EA's The Godfather was
destined to turn heads and bring in crowds since its conception. From reviewers
to gamers to diehard series fans, the attention turned towards this game has
been significant. Although it is nowhere near "bad," the game is not perfect,
and not quite what some critics envisioned as the grand adaptation of
book/movie to game. However, in terms of press and attention, The Godfather
clearly surpasses Mafia.
Category 5, Section 3 Winner: The Godfather
Section 4 - Fan Base/Community
Mafia:
Despite its low-key and under-the-radar release, Mafia has grown to have
somewhat of a cult following. Not only do major sites (such as
GameFAQs/GameSpot, IGN, etc.) have unusually large Mafia boards, but entire
communities and sites have sprung up regarding this single game. Most notably,
MafiaScene and MafiaMods are two gigantic fan sites. The fan base is massive
and sympathetic. If you really want to buy into a game "community," Mafia is a
great choice.
The Godfather:
Despite the game's attention getting release and press attention, there is
significantly less fan activity than one might expect. Aside from all the
regular game sites, and the official site, there really isn't much on the game.
There are a multitude of fan sites for the book/movie, but not really any for
the game.

One of the great features that Mafia's many fan sites provide is game mods.
Everything from new skins to total conversion mods have been created for this
game. Many of these are worth a quick play, or a quick laugh, while others
(such as the City of Lost Dreams mod) adds hours of new gameplay. With so many
different options to choose from, the variety of mods available for Mafia
increase its longevity and entertainment value significantly.
The Godfather:
Unlike Mafia, no mods yet exist for The Godfather (at least to my knowledge).
So far, the only editing regarding the game has been the surge in hacks and
cracked versions of the game (DAMN YOU PIRATES!). The only thing available that
would count as "additional content" is the few new features that will be added
to the Xbox 360 version (such as bodyguards/buddies). However, there is little
chance that these features will be added to the other versions of the game.
Category 5, Section 5 Winner: Mafia.
Section 6 - Value
Mafia:
As a result of being a low-budget underground title to begin with, and being
out for 4 years now, Mafia is very cheap. Most retailers will sell it for $9.99
or $19.99 at the highest. Internet vendors will probably go even lower, if
you're really that pressed for cash. You can also get Mafia in the "Maximum
Underworld" bundle with Max Payne (another great game from a previously unknown
studio) for $19.99. Given the sheer amount and quality of Mafia's content, this
would be a great buy at any price. The fact that its only about 10 bucks just
makes it all the sweeter.
The Godfather:
You should now be able to purchase The Godfather for somewhere in the $30-$40
range. Although it, like Mafia, features quite a bit of material, it may not
hold the same interest for all gamers. Additionally, its lack of additional
content (at least so far) might leave the finished gamer desiring something
more.

Category 5 General Analysis
Mafia:
From the enviable reviews to the teeming fan community, it's clear that Mafia
is a truly amazing game. Even if one has completed all the game has to offer,
hundreds, if not thousands, of additional bits of content can be found online.
Finally, the game's extremely low price makes it a viable option for almost any
budget.
The Godfather:
Given the fame of the film, The Godfather: The Game was unsurprisingly met with
huge press attention. However, many of the professional reviews of the game
were not all that favorable. Most notably, once the novelty wore off, many
people became dissatisfied with The Godfather, leaving a truly dedicated fan
base to be desired. Although the game is great and entertaining, there is
little at this time to add to the content beyond the main game.

Scoring Total
Using the above scores and GameSpot's review system, I calculated an
approximate score for each game. This score is slightly inflated for both games
(equally) and, despite the attempted objectivity of this analysis, inevitably
biased. I kept the "Gameplay", "Graphics" and "Sound [Audio]" sections the
same, and substituted "Gameworld" for "Value" and "Other" for "Reviewer's
Tilt." Ignore the meaning of GameSpot's headings, as they are not used (e.g.
the Value (Gameworld) score is based on Gameworld factors, value is irrelevant)
Mafia
Gameplay (Gameplay): 9
Graphics (Graphics): 9
Sound (Audio): 10
Value (Gameworld): 10
Tilt (Other): 10
Total weighted score: 9.6/10
The Godfather
Gameplay (Gameplay): 8
Graphics (Graphics): 10
Sound (Audio): 9
Value (Gameworld): 9
Tilt (Other): 9
Total weighted score: 8.9/10
There you have it. After nearly 10,000 words of intense scrutiny and analysis,
I have come up with a single, simple, and rather blunt statement: Mafia: The
City of Lost Heaven is better than The Godfather: The Game. I have no more
numbers to crunch, no more "final thoughts" paragraphs to type. I have stated
my assertion, and I have supported it with data and analyses.

- Instruction Manual -
----------------------
Due to Mafia's poor sales, it has become a popular item for companies to
package with other products, such as with sound cards, or in a game pack (e.g.
Maximum Underworld). In many of these situations, the instruction manual is not
included with the game, leaving the player at a disadvantage. As a result, I
felt compelled to provide a copy of the instruction manual. Although I cannot
include pictures, and must limit the formatting style (as this document uses
only basic Unicode ASCII), I'll do my best to keep the copy as accurate as
possible. This will result in the elimination of many of the borders and styles
found in the manual, as well as the hundreds of accent marks in peoples' names
(in the credits). However, I'll put the data in paragraph form, and for the
most part, ignore stylistic breaks found in the manual. Thanks to
replacementdocs, you can download a copy of the manual in .pdf format. Here's a
link:
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/replacementdocs/Mafia_-_Manual_-_PC.pdf
One additional note before I begin: All technical errors within the manual have
been left unedited. However, one error is factual: The manual lists a sawed-off
shotgun as a small-type weapon, when it is in fact, a large-type weapon.
Anyway, here's my attempt to copy the manual:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING THE GAME
When you first play Mafia you will need to create a player profile. Create the
profile by entering a name and selecting OK. Each player profile saves your
individual progress through the game and allows more players to play on one
computer. If player profiles already exist, select one to go to the Main Menu
screen.
NOTE: some options are not fully accessible at the start of the game. All
of the options become available depending on how successful you are at
progressing through the game.
Intro: Select this option to replay the Intro to the game.
Tutorial: Choose this option to learn how to control Tommy and the basic
functions of the game.
New Game: Select this option to start a new game.
Load Game: Mafia automatically saves the player's progress after completing
certain important tasks. Automatic saving is indicated during the game by an
on-screen message. Each player's Profile (see Starting the Game) has separately
saved positions, allowing several players to play on one PC. After opening the
menu, the last saved position
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
is automatically selected. Information about the selected saved game is
displayed at the bottom of the window.
Free Ride: Selecting Free Ride will allow you to drive freely around Lost
Heaven and the surrounding countryside. You can use the options in the menu
to select the density of pedestrians, traffic and police.
NOTE: Not all of the Free Ride options are available at the start of the game.
When Free Ride is fully unlocked, you can select any car that you have
collected during the game to roam freely through the city. You can collect
money as a taxi driver or by fighting with gangsters and destroying cars. With
this money you can pay to heal yourself at the city hospital, repair your car
at Bertone's or buy weapons at Yellow Pete's gunshop.
Free Ride Extreme: This mode becomes unlocked after you complete the single
player game. You can roam the city without any police patrols and complete
different tasks to enable you to receive special cars like hotrods. These cars
are then added to your garage and can be used in the normal Free Ride mode.
Carcyclopedia: Here you can view all of the vehicles that are available in the
game and their specifications. Scroll through the list of makes and models on
the left-hand side of the screen and information about the selected vehicle
will be displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You can view
the vehicles in more detail by pressing the "H" key to enter Show Mode.
Options: In the Options menu you can adjust the controls and change the
graphics and sound set-up according to your preferences and computer's
performance.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 6 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls
Here you can change the keyboard setup and parameters for effects when playing
the game. Keys are set individually for controlling Tommy, driving the car, and
setting the sensitivity of the mouse and joystick. Select the Player, Car or
Other options to move between the different set-up windows. To assign or change
a new or different key select the relevant field and then press the desired key
when the prompt appears. If you are not satisfied with the new setup you can
return to the original by clicking Reset To Defaults.
Setting up the mouse, game and peripheral options:
By selecting the Other controls window you can adjust the sensitivity of the
mouse (joystick or wheel) and limit the speed of the mouse along its X-axis.
You can select how vehicles respond while driving by adjusting the Nonlinear /
Linear option. This will effect the maneuverability of vehicles when driving,
allowing you to control the way vehicles steer in proportion to how far an
analogue device is moved to the left or the right.
Global Stick Volume: Adjusts the Force Feedback response for all effects
Suspension: Adjusts the Force Feedback response when driving on different
surfaces
Collisions: Adjusts the Force Feedback response when involved in collisions
Revs: Adjusts the Force Feedback response depending on how much the engine is
revved

Player Movement: Adjusts the Force Feedback response to the player's
interaction with the environment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using a Wheel or Joystick to Drive:
Ensure that you have correctly calibrated your device in Windows according to
the device's instructions. To assign a function to the device select a function
in the Controls menu to change and move the stick or wheel in the desired
direction.
NOTE: It is advised that you define joystick and wheel controls as a secondary
option.
NOTE: During the game, analogue devices are disabled until you move the device
through at least 25% of its range of movement to activate it. This is so you
can comfortably use the digital controls (keyboard) without having the analogue
device interfere.
Audio and Video:
Adjusting the Video settings will help improve the performance of the game.
Mafia will automatically set the best options depending on your computer's
specifications, but these can be changed if you wish. At the top of the window
you can globally set all of the options by choosing the level of graphic
detail. Low is for a lower-performance computer and lowers all of the items in
this menu to minimum. Medium sets medium detail and High sets all options to
their maximum level. All items can also be set individually. It is generally
true that the lower the values the higher the FPS (Frames Per Second) will be
during play, but the graphics will have less detail.

Tommy's health is displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. If
this reaches "0" it's "GAME OVER" and the mission will have to be retried.
During the course of the game you may come across First-Aid cabinets that can
be used to replenish his health. If Paulie, Sam or another character is
accompanying Tommy, a picture of them and their health will also be displayed
above Tommy's.
When you draw or hold a gun in your hands the amount of remaining ammunition is
displayed to the right of Tommy's health meter. The ammunition is displayed as
"7/21" for example, where "7" is the number of remaining rounds in the weapon
and "21" is the total number of remaining rounds available in any magazines
carried by Tommy.
Depending on the situation, status messages will be displayed above the health
meters in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
When you have been given instructions to travel to a certain location, a
compass will be displayed in the top left-hand corner of the screen. This does
not indicate the route to that location, but only the direction you need to be
heading in. The compass should be used in conjunction with the in-game map.
If you are given a task to complete in a certain time, a pocket watch will be
displayed in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The amount of time you
have in minutes is displayed by a red groove that reduces in size as time
passes by. The last minute is counted down on the small central dial by the
second hand.
At any time during a mission you can press the "F1" key to bring up a
description of the task at hand.
The on-screen display will provide more information when Tommy gets into a car.
A speedometer and RPM gauge will be displayed in the bottom right-hand corner
of the screen. In the center of the speedometer, the
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 13
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
currently selected gear is displayed. Below this is a functioning odometer and
beneath this a gas gauge showing the amount of gas left in the car. In addition
to this, a radar will also be displayed in the top left-hand corner of the
screen. This provides an overhead view of where your car is in relation to
other vehicles at your current location. Civilian cars are represented in
green, police cars are in blue, enemy or police cars chasing you are in red and
trolleys are in yellow. When you are nearing a mission objective a red cross
will be displayed on the radar.
NOTE: The radar can be extremely useful when involved in a car chase, as it
provides information on your immediate surroundings that can be used to help
evade pursuers.
City Map
The in-game map can be viewed by pressing "Tab". This will provide a scaled
down overview of Lost Heaven that shows your current position and the direction
in which you are traveling. The map also shows the network of the
elevated railway and stations, represented in blue and also the routes that the
trolleys travel along, represented in yellow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 14 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During a mission, your objective will be indicated by a blue cross on the map.
If the location is out of the area currently displayed, the direction in which
you need to travel will be indicated by a blue arrow at the edge of the map.
Inventory
Throughout the game you are able to collect and use various objects and
weapons, but you are limited to the amount that can be carried.
Weapons are classified as large or small. Small weapons (revolver, knife,
sawed-off shotgun) can be stored under a jacket or in pockets, so several
can be carried at once. Only one large weapon (baseball bat, Tommy gun, etc.)
can be stored, so carrying a second large weapon means holding it in your
hands. If you wish to use another weapon you will have to discard the weapon
you are currently holding.
If you have sufficient room in your inventory you can "HIDE" the current weapon
that you are holding by pressing "H". This will leave Tommy with nothing in his
hands. If you wish to discard a weapon, press "Backspace".
This does not affect other objects, such as keys, packages, etc.
NOTE: The police will not tolerate weapons, so make sure that you have them
hidden to avoid attention.
Combat!
There are numerous weapons that can be used in the game, from close combat
weapons such as knives to fully automatic weapons such as the Tommy gun. Each
weapon has its own characteristics, range, loading time, and dispersion of
shots fired.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 15
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When using close combat weapons (or fighting with your bare hands), if you hold
down the left mouse button a bar will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The fuller the bar becomes before you release the left mouse button, the
stronger the strike will be.
When using sniper rifles, you will need to press "S" to look through the sight
to seek out your target.
NOTE: If you happen to be carrying a baseball bat, a strong blow from behind
will lay enemies out cold.
NOTE: When reloading by pressing "L", you will lose any rounds still left in
the chamber or magazine. This is not the case for the shotgun. Sometimes it may
be quicker to select a different weapon if you have one rather than reloading
while under heavy fire.
Using Weapons From Within Cars
It is possible to use certain weapons while you are driving. If you are
carrying a small handgun such as a Magnum or Colt, select it from your
inventory and press the left mouse button to aim outside of the window. To
return to the camera view behind the car, press the right mouse button.
NOTE: If you are driving the car you will still need to control the direction
and speed of the car to avoid crashing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 16 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicles
Cars play an important role in Mafia. In Lost Heaven a vehicle is the quickest
and easiest method of getting around. Each vehicle has its own characteristics
(which can be viewed in the Carcyclopedia) that effect the handling when
driving. Vehicles will also behave differently depending on the number of
passengers and the surface that the vehicle is currently travelling on.
When driving around Lost Heaven you should avoid collisions with other vehicles
and objects, as these can damage the vehicle, yourself and any passengers that
are in the vehicle. Tires can be punctured, effecting the handling of the
vehicle, headlights will stop working and fall off, and having a high-speed
collision could cause the engine to catch fire or the gas tank to explode. It
is also possible to lose gas should the gas tank get damaged or punctured. If
this happens you will notice the gas tank gauge rapidly decrease until the car
comes to a halt.
NOTE: A car may seem to be a safe place to be during a gun fight, but if the
gas tank is hit you're almost certainly going to go up in flames.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 17
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obtaining Cars
Tommy receives cars for each mission from Ralph, the family's mechanic. During
the course of the game more modern and powerful cars become available as the
years go by. Ralph also shows Tommy how to steal the make and model of car that
he provides. Once Tommy has learned how to do this he can steal these models
when out on the streets in Lost Heaven.
Car Theft Rises to all time high!
To steal a vehicle, stand next to the driver's door and hold down the right
mouse button. The time it takes to unlock a vehicle varies on the make and
model. A progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, once this is
full the vehicle will be unlocked. If you move or release the right mouse
button while stealing a car the progress bar will reset and you will have to
start over.
It is also possible for Tommy to car-jack vehicles that are being driven on the
streets by the citizens of Lost Heaven. For example, approach a vehicle when
it has stopped at a set of traffic lights and open the driver's door as
described above to throw out the driver. You will only be able to do this if
Ralph has previously showed you how to steal that particular make and model.
NOTE: Stealing cars is an offence, so be aware of patrolling police nearby.
NOTE: While this may be necessary because of your situation, some drivers will
not be happy at you trying to steal their vehicle and may retaliate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 18 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controlling Your Speed
The default setting when driving vehicles is to have the changing of gears set
to automatic. If you wish, you can switch to controlling the gears and using
the clutch on a vehicle manually by pressing "M" to toggle between the two
options. Use "A" and "Z" to change between gears and "X" to control the clutch,
by pressing the clutch and revving the engine you can achieve a faster getaway
from a stationary position.
NOTE: By switching to manual control of the gears you have the option to leave
it in neutral with the handbrake off, this is shown in the gear display window
in the center of the speedometer by the letter "N". This can allow vehicles to
be moved without any resistance.
Speedlimiter
When driving around Lost Heaven you still have to obey the traffic laws that
apply to all of the drivers in the city, these include sticking to the speed
limit. Pressing "F5" will activate the speedlimiter that will prevent you from
inadvertently breaking the speed limit. When this is activated a yellow icon
will be displayed above the speedometer.
Filling Up
Each vehicle provided to you by Ralph will have a full tank of gas, but this
will go down as you drive around Lost Heaven. Pay attention to the amount of
gas that is in vehicles you steal, as you do not want to run out of gas when
being chased by enemies or the police.
There are gas stations situated throughout Lost Heaven. To fill up the vehicle,
drive into the gas station with the left side of the vehicle adjacent to the
pump and then press the right mouse button to bring up the option menu to
choose to fill it up. You will not be able to fill up a vehicle if you are
currently wanted by the police.
NOTE: It isn't wise to play with fire or weapons when in the vicinity of gas
stations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 19
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ralph's Garage
Vehicles that you have been provided with by Ralph or have stolen during the
course of the game will be parked in the yard behind the Salieri Bar at the
start of a mission. The vehicles that will be stored are those from Ralph
(even if they are discarded in the city during a mission), vehicles that you
have left in the yard during the course of a mission and vehicles which are
being used when a mission is completed, but does not end by returning to the
Salieri Bar.
NOTE: If a vehicle is destroyed during the course of a mission it will be lost
and not available in the Garage for a subsequent mission.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 20 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of each mission a menu will be displayed to show you the vehicles
that have been added to the garage and those that have been discarded or
destroyed. Only so many vehicles can be stored in the yard, if there is no more
room then you will be given the option to discard a vehicle (including vehicles
that you obtained during a mission) to make room for vehicles that you have
obtained or are currently driving.
If you speak to Ralph during the course of a mission you will be presented with
a menu allowing you to discard vehicles in the garage in the same way as if
there was no room in the garage.
Public Transportation
Although using vehicles is the quickest and easiest way to get around Lost
Heaven, it is possible to make use of the network of Trolley Cars or travel on
the Elevated Railway. The stations where you get onto the trains are shown on
the in-game map.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 21
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Police
The police patrol Lost Heaven as they would in any other city, on foot and in
patrol cars.
They will fine you for committing minor offences or arrest you for more serious
crimes, using force if necessary.
When you commit minor offences (for which you will have to pay fines) a ticket
icon will appear at the top of the screen, you will need to stop and get out of
your car to pay the fine. Examples of minor offences are, slightly exceeding
the speed limit as displayed when using the speedlimiter option by pressing
"F5", driving through a red light, hitting traffic signs and small collisions
with other cars. You can try to escape and the police will follow to arrest
you. The police will also attempt to arrest you if you commit four successive
minor offences.
The police will also try and arrest you for serious offences. When the police
are trying to arrest you, instead of the ticket icon, handcuffs will appear.
If the police manage to arrest you it's "GAME OVER".
Arrestable offences include excessively exceeding the speed limit, serious
collisions, car theft, violent behaviour, attacking pedestrians, and
toting weapons in public.
If you try to escape, the police will chase you. If on foot they will blow
their whistles to alert other officers who are near by and if they reach a
phone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 22 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
all of the cops in the city will be alerted and a wanted bar will appear. If
the police are in patrol cars they will also alert other cops by radio and the
wanted bar will appear. If you manage to get out of sight of the police the
offence icon will become transparent. If you continue to evade being spotted
the wanted bar will eventually disappear. If you get out of your car and get
into a different one, without the cops seeing you, an icon of a policeman with
"???" above his head will appear. This means that the police do not know your
identity. Again, the wanted bar will disappear after time as long as you do not
commit another crime.
If you attack a policeman, attempt to run him over or start firing in the city,
the police will resort to using their weapons to stop you. When this happens, a
pistol icon will be displayed at the top of the screen. If they don't manage to
stop you, they will alert all of the police in the city and start putting up
roadblocks so you can't escape in a vehicle.
NOTE: If you commit an offence while driving, the police will not know your
face and just follow the car. If you can find a place to get out, without
being noticed, they won't follow you any more. The icon at the top of the
screen will become transparent and if you don't commit further offences or
drive the same car they will stop looking for you completely. This is also
the case if you commit an offence on foot but are able to get into a
vehicle unnoticed.
SALIERI'S BAR IN LITTLE ITALY

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 23
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Salieri's Bar
Most of the missions in the game will begin at the Salieri Bar. The bar serves
as a base for Salieri family meetings and where the Don, or his consiglieri
Frank, asign your tasks. After you have been briefed you will generally
be required to collect equipment for the mission. Vincenzo works in a small
workshop next to the yard and he can provide you with weapons. Ralph, the
family's car mechanic, works in the yard itself and can provide you with
vehicles. If you happen to have stolen any vehicles and returned them to
Salieri's, these will also be stored here so you can take your pick as to which
vehicle to use.
Most missions end when you return to Salieri's and enter the front or back
door.
Tommy Angelo
Tom is the main character in the game. Originally a cab driver, but due to a
combination of unpleasant circumstances, he is forced to join the Mafia. Tom is
all in all a nice guy, but a tough childhood and life in the 1930's have
changed his moral values a little. Thus, he's capable of doing things that a
normal person wouldn't understand, but his conscience sometimes haunts him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 24 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norman
Norman is the typical example of a detective brought up through the school of
hard knocks. He is a scruffy, tough guy, who acts like he hates everybody
around him. Tom tells him his story, but doesn't get much sympathy.
Don Salieri
The Don is the boss of the family that Tommy works for. He's a guy who's lived
through a lot and doesn't get excited too easily. He's typical of a Mafioso,
who hasn't built up his position just for money and doesn't always kill to get
what he wants.
He is friendly, but when he gets tough he can become dangerous. Sometimes
business is more important than friendship to him.
Paulie
Paulie is Tom's sidekick, an energetic and hot-tempered guy, who sometimes
behaves completely unexpectedly. If he likes somebody he is the most loyal
friend you could have, someone you can always rely on; if he doesn't cause you
problems that is. Tom and Paulie are the greatest of friends and often work and
have fun together.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue: 324 Lost Heaven Courier Page 25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam
Sam is another associate of Tom's. At first sight, he just looks like an
average guy with a friendly smile. He is big and sometimes clumsy. He is also
shy and doesn't talk a lot. He often works with Tom and Paulie and they are
good friends.
Frank
Frank is Don Salieri's best friend, associate and advisor. His main concern is
family finance and the legal side of business. He is well suited to this. At
first sight he doesn't seem to belong among these criminals, as he is a very
quiet and inconspicuous nice guy. He does his work mainly because of an
attachment to Don Salieri, as well as their mutual past. They grew up together
in a poor quarter and thanks to the Don he gained most of what he has, so he
can't just turn his back on him. If he'd grown up in any other place he would
certainly be a successful lawyer or businessman.
Vincenzo
Vincenzo has worked for the family for a long time and it means everything to
him. It's strange that such a good guy like Vincenzo found his greatest love in
guns, but that's why he takes care of Salieri's arsenal of weapons and selects
the best equipment for a mission.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 26 Lost Heaven Courier Issue: 324
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ralph
Ralph is excellent when it comes to dealing with vehicles. He can take apart,
repair, improve and then rebuild whatever he gets his hands on, but that's
about it. His world revolves around anything on four wheels, and he knows
little about anything else. That's why he'll only talk about vehicles, though
even conversations about vehicles aren't easy for him.
Morello
Morello is Salieri's main adversary. Where Salieri opts for negotiation,
Morello uses an army of men with Thompsons. Where Salieri punishes treachery,
Morello indiscriminately shows his might. Because of this he has a big
influence in the city, which he is trying to extend into Salieri family
territory. He is greatly helped by his brother Sergio. However, he ultimately
destroys everything he's involved in through his overly brutal behaviour.
Lucas Bertone
Lucas is a pleasant Italian of middle age and a car mechanic for the rich. He
is very bighearted even though, in view of the services he provides to the
Mafia, he is no saint.
NOTE: Although not part of the Salieri family it's often worth visiting Lucas
when you have spare time as unlike Ralph, Lucas's work means that he has access
to some of the more luxurious and exotic cars in the city.

Alpha
by Daniel Vavra
Summer is over, and with it, the last August days when we spent the weekends
partying - the only way to relax - is over, too. Now, there is only hard work
ahead of us. MAFIA is slowly making its way to the Alpha version - and this
Alpha version is the greatest and most hardcore we've ever come across. My
colleagues who are writing scripts for missions often work 40 hours straight
without any sleep, and spend their weekends at work - doing anything - just to
complete everything necessary before the deadline. The programmers are even
worse off - they've been having only a couple of hours of sleep a day for the
last few weeks, and otherwise they're simply working flat out. Luckily for
them, there is a Tesco nearby so they can get some food even at four in the
morning. Words like embolism, "chair sores", heart attacks, and coma are
starting to take on dangerously realistic meanings :) Anybody able to exert
such effort has my endless admiration (and hopefully they'll have some bonuses
as well - one cannot live on admiration only, particularly not on mine!).br>
However, all this effort is clearly visible on the game. Most of missions can
be played to the end, and it's starting to be really fun. The characters are
starting to talk to us, even though they're doing it in not-so-nice and
temporary voices. Artificial intelligence is also coming to life. There are
still some bugs about - sometimes nice fat ones. But it is now completely about
something else than it was in the beginning. It's shaping up into a real GAME.
A lot of work has also been done on the visual effects. For instance, in one
night mission, that takes place during a storm on a deserted farm, not only
does it start raining but the sky is lit with lightning, trees sway in the gale
wind, the wind tears leaves off of them, and all of the sudden everything is
lit by an impressive explosion.
In a stressful situation, such as this one, there are naturally some hitches,
and a multitude of shortcomings come up. As far as I'm concerned, all the
irrationalities and blind spots in the design are making their appearances, and
the programmers have all their mistakes in a seemingly finalized thing pop up
to surface, so they don't know which to fix first. But most of these things are
really small matters that can be sorted out relatively easily, and I'm not sure
whether it is actually possible to avoid them. In any case, after we'd come to
the conclusion that some dialogues and some parts of the plot might be just a
little too complicated, we've decided to have a professional playwright to go
through the screenplay. The first attempts didn't quite work. The classic
syndrome of no name "artists", who first announce that there won't be any
problems and then they gradually start professing that they are not going to
put their names to some "action trash" because it would damage their
reputation, became apparent. It is ironic that their names are mostly unknown
and even if they were known, I don't think anyone would really read them at the
end of our game. However, criticism of that kind had hit me quite hard and I
began to have doubts about the quality of our small work of art!
When trying for the second time, we aimed somewhat higher and approached one of
Czech film directors. If it is really so bad, I wanted to hear it from someone
whom I can trust. The concerned person, whose name I'll keep to myself for the
time being because our co-operation has only just begun, had read the
screenplay and after some days of tense waiting told me, that he quite liked
the screenplay and was going to have a go at it. I was so relieved. Tomorrow
we'll start with editing, so I hope it's going to work.
Today we were supposed to hand in the Alpha, but as there are still a couple of
things to be done, we're going to be a day or two late. I was having a smoke
between the settings of parameters, when one of our graphics told me that some
terrorists had hit the World Trade Center with a Boeing. I couldn't believe it,
but just as I got to CNN, the skyscraper was collapsing. I felt ill. As if
someone had unexpectedly kicked your balls from behind. This is just not done.

Sweet summer time
by Daniel Vavra
Another month gone, the second half of summer has arrived, and complexions of
most team members are still suspiciously pale. Only those who had arranged
their vacations long ago took their leave and the others, including myself, are
probably not going to have much of a vacation this year. This is an obvious
disadvantage of finalizing a game in summer. Next time, we have to time it
somewhat better.
As I mentioned last time, the producers came over from England to personally
see how the game was progressing and possibly to find a way of speeding it up.
I wouldn't say that they had much success. Time is against us. When doing the
planning, a month seems to be a terribly long time, but then it's suddenly gone
and we find out that apart from the setout targets, other targets - the ones
nobody dealt with - made their appearance. In spite of this, the date for the
Alpha version - the version of the game that contains all missions and all
playing elements of a final game but that has not been debugged and tuned - has
been determined.
We have finished, relatively successfully, most of the graphics for the game -
all versions of the town for individual missions and the graphics for missions
themselves. The location at the end of the game, which we have redone
completely, now looks absolutely ravishing, at least in comparison with the
first, two-year-old version. And we are naturally sorry that we don't have much
time left to also improve the rest of the older missions.
Two new graphic designers have joined us and started to work on racing circuits
for the bonus game. It'll be something like Metropolis Street Racer in Lost
Heaven. Since the circuits are considerably smaller than the whole town, we can
afford to set the visibility to a kilometer, for example, and also to improve
the graphics. The results are looking very good and it doesn't even take much
work to do it because most of building elements have been completed. It looks
like that in the end, there is going to be more than ten such circuits in the
game.
I am busy finishing the last modifications in some documents. I am filling in
all the minute details that we've fancifully thought out during the last year,
to have everything that should be seen in the game in documentation, and to
make sure that it is all well and clearly arranged. Six more designers have
begun to put the script to missions. This is unbelievably complex and difficult
work in view of the fact that the MAFIA levels are very extensive and
complicated and, also, because the programming language for putting the script
in is being created together with the script. Though, it looks like we should
be able to finish all the missions before the Alpha version deadline.
Yesterday the weather was so beautiful that the lead graphic designer and I
jumped in the car and set off for a drive. Not to have a swim, you see, but to
seek out the highest possible point in the countryside, from which to take -
with our brand new digital camera - panoramic photos of the glorious summer sky
for our game. At last, we located precisely such a point: a narrow highway
bridge, rather a busy one, in the middle of which we stopped and for about ten
minutes calmly proceeded to take pictures - accompanied by the furious
trumpeting of long-distance truckers passing by and the screeching of their
brakes. You wouldn't believe just how these bridges SWING during peak-hour
traffic. Long live summer!

Motion Capture
by Daniel Vavra
Another month has gone by and the release date is still not within sight.
After an all-round mustering up of energy to prepare for E3, our enthusiasm
waned considerably and we again began to pay attention to ordinary things. For
me, this meant - first of all - to overcome the jet lag and my own laziness,
and to work out a new schedule for the team which we are, hopefully, going to
stick to until the completion of the game. It's strange that although it covers
about half as long of a time period than the previous one, this schedule has
about twice as many items (about 1,500 tasks). So there is always something to
do.
A couple of days ago, we had air conditioning installed in here. After last
year's experiences with the climate - reminding one of a foundry in full swing
- literally an avalanche of cries demanding this convenience came from all
sides. In some offices we therefore have set the temperature at about 10
degrees C [50 degrees F](although it's not more than 20 degrees [68 degrees F]
outside) and so now everybody's got a sore throat.
Otherwise - the work on the game is progressing. At present, the most visible,
and probably the most spectacular, are the animations accompanying the game.
Whereas at E3 we presented one, relatively imperfect, little movie, our nearly
yearlong development by our editor and the extensive work on the storyboards
and the screenplay are now beginning to bear its first fruit. We completed a
couple of action scenes, and I myself was surprised at how dynamic and
professional they come across. When the first one had arrived from our
capturing studio, we all just stood there - agape. I would like us achieve to
at least the same quality as that of the "better" Japanese games, and judging
from our results so far, it doesn't seem to me to be that impossible. So - keep
your fingers crossed, so that there is really something to look at!
My confidence in the quality of our animators was confirmed during the visit of
a technician from the firm we got our capture equipment from. We were not sure
about some technical details and so he came over to help us with optimizing the
equipment. However, after we had showed it to him, he said that this was the
best set-up MOTION CAPTURE he had ever seen. He was actually taking notes on
our successful method, so that he could share it with other users - a couple of
large European commercial TV stations.
At the moment, the rest of the team is working on creating the first complete
playable skeleton of the game, with all the graphics. We shall be gradually
adding more elements to it, until we come out with the complete game. Since we
are approaching the final stretch, it's necessary to seek out any possible
nonsense in the design, in order to avoid having to re-do the graphics. You
wouldn't believe the number of holes and bugs that we find every time we go
over it. In a few weeks' time, our producers from Take2 are coming to look at
this version. Let's hope they'll enjoy themselves here, although we're not
probably going to please them as far as the release date is concerned.

E3
by Daniel Vavra
As our established tradition, we finished the version of the game about an
hour before take-off. While I was packing my suitcase, the programmers were
packing MAFIA and burning it onto a CD. We succeeded in making the game
relatively stable and we even managed to finish all the elements we had
originally intended to have in it.
The welcome in America was surprising peaceful this time. They didn't frisk us,
and the immigration officials even knew what the E3 was, so we didn't have to
give any lengthy explanations as to the purpose of our visit to the USA. All we
had to do was to fill in a form that nobody else had to.
This year's E3 was very successful. E3 is nearly always a pleasant affair: all
around you, you see the most interesting things in the field you're interested
in, you get to meet plenty interesting people who are usually very willing to
have a chat with you, and the place is full of charming female Japanese
tourists. This year, however, was even better. A new generation of games had
arrived. The obsolete engines from Unreal and Quake 2 were gone as were PSX 1
and Nintendo 64. Everything revolved around PS2, Gamecube, X-BOX and the new
generation of PC games, the development of which had started some years ago,
and the release date of which is finally approaching. For the first time in a
long time, PC games actually looked better than the games on console. DUKE
FOREVER, MAX PAYNE, WOLFENSTEIN and other smashes looked fantastic. New
consoles had hard luck in that they have only been on the market for a short
time (or not at all) and so their NEXT GENERATION hasn't matured yet. They're
going to catch up next year, for sure. Nevertheless, DEVIL MAY CRY or METAL
GEAR 2 were the show-pieces of the Exhibition.
MAFIA and HD2 were transferred from Talonsoft under the wings of GODGAMES, to
the same label as MAX PAYNE and DUKE, and therefore to the same parking lot. It
has become a tradition, that GODGAMES do not exhibit in the halls of LA
CONVENTION CENTER, but in a fenced-in parking lot in front of it. This has
several advantages: the price in the form of a parking fee for the entire area
and we have more space in which to set up. It allows you to serve draft beer
(which you can't do inside), to smoke (which you can't do in the whole of LA)
and to have strippers, midgets, and heavy-metal bands belting it out. Thanks to
this combination, you can see here the most tattooed and the most soused
visitors of the exhibition, wandering about.
Every game was shown in a spacious, air-conditioned caravan. This year, GOD had
a good formation: DUKE, MAX, STRONGHOLD, 4x4 EVO2, MYTH 3, HD2 and, of course,
MAFIA. Each caravan had a silicon hostess allocated to it, and I have to say
that although I'm no great fan of implants, the one that I "got" to go with
MAFIA, was quite obviously the prettiest one. :))
Thomas' (H&D 2) and my working hours started with a 15-minute presentation at
10.00 a.m., and carried on - without any breaks - right up to 6.00 p.m. Thanks
to this, I had only a couple of hours for going through the Exhibition. Petr
Vochozka and Lukas Kure stood in for me (thanks be to them). Usually, about
seven people crowded inside the caravan, and I began to show them how wonderful
MAFIA is. It seemed to me that I succeeded in convincing them, because we
really had a lot to show for our work this time. Apart from a huge complete,
and functional town, that alone could have made up a game of its own, we also
showed a vast countryside to drive cars through, several indoor locations with
some of the first encounters with the enemy, a special mission for
demonstrating the physics of the cars, and one dubbed realtime animation. Most
of our presentations ended with mighty congratulations, handshaking, slapping
of back (mine), and exchanging of business cards - I naturally left mine back
in my office! I was quite pleased when someone from the press asked whether the
game is going to run only on GeForce3, which is the proof - I hope - that they
liked the graphics, because MAFIA works also on TNT2.
All said and done, this year's E3 turned out quite well. MAFIA hasn't gotten
lost in all the tough competition I dare say, and HD2 definitely hasn't. The
game came down only once, I had some friendly chats with the boys from Remedy
(MAX), the sun was shining, and Jamie Leece from Take2 finally produced the
bottle of Chianti he had lost in our bet on ice hockey. I just have to polish
up my English presentation a bit for the next time, so as not to end every
second sentence with "...and all that stuff." "Stuff" sucks, you see, as I
learned from a TV show on CBS.

Preparing for the E3
by Daniel Vavra
Spring is here. Those of the female persuasion threw away heavy winter outfits
and upgraded to considerably lighter summer gear. Alcoholics don't have to
crowd in pubs where smoke thickens, anymore. Now they can lounge in gardens
adjoining their favorite haunts or parks in close proximity of non-stop bars
and gambling joints, and give their lungs the rare chance to have a taste of
some fresh air. Everybody lives and breathes ice hockey. It's beautifully warm.
Or it might go something like this: It's disgustingly hot and we've got to fry
our skins in the office, and heat the place up some more by running fifteen
monitors and computers, and miss all the aforementioned joys that you common
folk enjoy, on top of it. All this because with the spring comes the E3
Exhibition, that takes place between 17 - 19 May, and where (what else) the
playable version of MAFIA should be introduced. That of course means building
another version of the game and more work for us.
Originally, we had been planning to show a virtually completed game at E3, but
then we realized that it simply couldn't be done. The tasks we thought to be
quite elementary unfortunately turned out to be very protracted matters,
requiring a long process of optimization to make them look good. For instance,
an ordinary thing like pedestrians jumping out of the way of cars: the
programming took very little time, but subsequent optimization to achieve the
appeareance of natural action took considerably longer. And there were an
enormous number of such tasks, so the release date of the game had to be pushed
back again. This time it's to a shrewd "undetermined" (and don't you trust
anybody who is giving an exact release date of MAFIA anywhere). We all hope,
however, that before the end of the summer, we're going to manage to get the
game into a state of only worrying about debugging and the tuning of
playability.
All this postponing is a very unpleasant thing. It often happens to me that I
meet an old friend whom I haven't seen for some time, and he asks me what I'm
doing. "A game" always goes my answer. "Oh, and which one?" asks the busybody.
"The same one as the last time" say I. Then - a cold shower comes: "But listen,
we saw each other two years ago!" This is simply a smack in the face. Most
players think that postponing the release dates of games is a part of some plot
by the publishers, who just want to whet their appetites for buying the game. I
assure you that it isn't so. But - to return to E3. In the end, we are going to
take along a functional version of the town and possibly also the first dubbed
animated sequences.
To everything that we had ready for the demo for the press in Germany, we added
a much-improved version of the street traffic: pedestrians reacting in some way
to what's going on around them have finally appeared in the streets. (This
doesn't mean that they are able to evade cars by jumping aside or that they can
be driven over.) The traffic lights started to work and it is possible to have
a ride on top of a tram or train. Moreover, most of the objects react now to
fire and to impacts (glass shatters, dustbins fly away, cars start to sway).
The sleepy, peaceful everyday life in the streets of the town suddenly erupt in
panic, when you start shooting. Reactions from the people around us have so far
been positive. Some time ago, an "undisclosed" manager at Illusion was
describing to us a traffic accident that had happened to him so vividly, that
it took us half an hour before we "clicked" that he was only describing a scene
from MAFIA. Rumor has it, that our Slovakian studio was paralyzed for the rest
of the day after this above-mentioned manager had installed MAFIA during a
meeting. They just kept on playing.... We'll see what the visitors to E3 will
have to say about it and also how many new competitors there are going to be
there. All this provided that the traditionally unpleasant immigration
officials let us step on American soil.

Please note: The current version of this guide, while not absolutely final,
does contain everything I originally wanted it to. Even though I will make
slight modifications and additions in the future, there will be no substantial
changes. Because of this, I will not be accepting numerous contributions, nor
will I answer the myriad of repetitious questions that I normally receive. It
may seem curt, if not downright rude, but please, don't e-mail me. If for no
other reason than that I don't check my e-mail all that frequently, you are not
very likely to get a response. I am more lenient towards contributed material,
but you are much better off asking your questions on a message board.
If you would like to contribute to this guide, here are things I would
appreciate:
-Reader submitted walkthroughs for specific missions
-Pointed out errors, whether technical (grammar, spelling, line
formatting, etc.) or factual (incorrect information about something in
the game)
-PC versus Console (PS2/Xbox) differences between each version of the
game - This is very important, and any contributions of this type would
be immensely appreciated
-Anything else that you think would be a useful addition to this guide -
Please use good judgment when deciding if your contribution is "useful."
In addition, I welcome questions about anything in the guide that you found
confusing. However, as noted earlier, you may not get a particularly timely
response. In the meantime, I would suggest looking on the internet and/or
asking your question on a message board.
I will NOT, however, answer questions regarding any of the following subjects:
I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING TECHNICAL ISSUES, such as why Mafia
isn't running on your computer, or why the game freezes at a certain
point.
I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING MODs, or anything else that alters
the game, other than a patch. If you have questions like these, I'd
suggest writing to the mod's designer or creator.
I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING HACKS, CRACKS, WAREZ, or any other
type of illegal pirating or emulating activities. Go out and buy the
retail version. I don't care what country you live in or how much money
you make, piracy is immoral, illegal, and selfish. Even if you don't care
about the fact that you're stealing from someone, if you bother to think
ahead, you'll see the ramifications of piracy. Let me elaborate:
When you steal something (piracy is stealing, plain and simple),
that is one less copy of the product that is sold by a retailer. As
a result, you create sales data that suggest to the retailer (and
thus publisher) that the product is not in as much demand as it may
actually be. While in the short-term, this may simply mean fewer
copies of the product at retailers, in the future, the publisher
will use your data to decide that the product is not selling well
enough to continue funding it. Deciding it is a poor investment,
the publishers will be far less likely to support other products by
those developers, artists, creators, (etc.), and as a result, cut
their funding. When this happens, remember that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE
for their downfall, since you stole a copy of the product.
Stealing is stealing, regardless of context. Just because you
aren't physically taking someone's possessions, just because you
can't see the face of your victim, just because "one time won't
hurt anyone," does not mean you aren't stealing. Whether it's
smuggling a CD under your jacket or clicking your mouse, YOU ARE
STEALING. Anonymity does not exonerate your behavior; if anything,
it merely emphasizes your cowardice.
I apologize for my rather unprovoked rant, but piracy is a major
problem that poses great economic risk by threatening to undermine
some of the largest business in entertainment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When composing your e-mail, be thoughtful and courteous. I'm not expecting you
to pen a literary masterpiece, but putting a little thought and consideration
into what you're writing would be appreciated. Here are some dos and don'ts:
______
- DO -
______
-Put the word "Mafia" somewhere in the subject line so that I have a clue what
you're asking about, and don't delete your e-mail.
-Use reasonably decent spelling, grammar, punctuation, English etc.
-Describe your suggestion, question, submission, (etc.) carefully and clearly.
If I don't understand what you're saying, then it's unlikely that I will print
it in this guide.
_________
- DON'T -
_________
-Use all caps to compose your message.
-Use terrible spelling, or grammar to the point where I can't even understand
what you're trying to say.
-E-mail me in any language other than English.
-Swear excessively, or write rude or demeaning things.
-Compose your email in code, 1337, or any other form of writing that will waste
my time.
-Send spam, hate mail, or anything that's either rude or irrelevant to Mafia.
-Add me to your friends, buddy list, or anything similar.
-Attach a relevant screenshot as an attachment. If you need to show me a
picture as evidence or for whatever reason, use a free image hosting
website such as:
http://www.imageshack.us
http://www.geocities.com
http://photobucket.com
Assuming your contribution is thoughtful and relevant, it will be added to the
guide as soon as possible. You will be given complete recognition as to the
contribution, unless you state in your e-mail that you want anonymity. With a
few exceptions, your e-mail will remain mostly unaltered from the way it was
sent, so be aware that what you write will probably end up in this guide
almost exactly as you compose it. However, I have the authority to change or
alter what appears in the guide, though I will only do this for clarification
or censorship purposes; I will never rewrite your contribution nor claim credit
for it myself.
If you'd like to contact me, send an email to this address. Replace the "(at)"
with an "@" and the "(dot)" with a "." This is to avoid automatic spam bots and
similar programs.

---------------------------
- Revision/Update History -
---------------------------
Version 1.0 - 6/5/05- This is the very first version of the guide. It was
important that I get the basic layout of the guide, as well as some of the
major parts at least started. Though I have beaten Mafia numerous times, I
have only completed the walkthrough up to "Sarah." I have a (mostly) complete
weapons section, a just beginning car section, and very small sections for
everything else.
Version 1.1 - 6/7/05- This update contains some small updates, but little in
the way of game-related information. The most major update is the addition of
the PC Gamer and GameSpot reviews of Mafia. The rest is mostly just minor
corrections, and some alterations on the Legal, Contributions, and Credits
sections, and added the Random Statistics and Basic Game Information sections.
Also, I changed the (terrible) ASCII for the top of the document. Not that
anyone cares, but the old ASCII can be found near the bottom of this guide, in
the Random Statistics section.
Version 1.15 - 6/8/05 - All that was added in this micro update was two sites
into the "allowed hosts" section (in the legal section). These sites are
www.neoseeker.com and www.supercheats.com. This new version of the guide
should appear on their sites as well as GameFAQs and GameSpot soon.
Version 1.2 - 7/7/05 - Added mission walkthroughs and information for Mission
7a and 7b: "Sarah" and "Better Get Used to It," and 8a "The Whore." Also,
http://dlh.net was added as a legal host of this guide. Some other minor
alterations and corrections throughout the guide as well.
Version 1.3 - 8/22/05 - Added mission walkthroughs and information for Mission
8a and 8b ("The Whore/The Priest") and all of mission 9 ("A Trip to the
Country"). Added more sections on cars (number, groups, synopses), more data,
and the Falconer and Ulver lines.
Version 1.35 - 8/26/05 - Added www.cheatcc.com as a legal host of the guide. I
also made adjustments to account for lostheaven.co.uk changing to
mafiascene.com
Version 1.4 - 8/28/05 - Added walkthrough for mission 10 ("Omerta"), mission
11 ("Visiting Rich People"), and mission 12 ("A Great Deal!"). Also added more
car, weapon, characters, and locations information. Added the entire
"Freeride" section (still some missing data). Other than that, a number of
other small changes and alterations.
Version 1.5 - 9/5/05 - Added walkthrough for mission 13 ("Bon Appetit!"). Also
added "Cars", "Public Transportation" and "Wielding Weapons Effectively"
sections to "General Game Tips and Strategies." Added more information to the
legal section. Also added a number of notes about the PC vs. Console versions,
as well as a new section to describe and show the main differences. Added some
missing data and fixed some errors here and there.
Version 1.6 - 9/10/05 - Added a few bits of information all over the place.
Changed the line spacing and characters per line to its maximum. I also added
the game script for the Prologue, "An Offer You Can't Refuse" and Intermezzo
One.
Version 1.7 - 11/5/05 - Finally past the 400kb mark! Added mission walkthrough
for Mission 14 ("Happy Birthday!"). Also added the FAQ section, with two sub-
sections. Added the miscellaneous section, and the "Real Car Names" sub-section
under that. Added the Crusader and Guardian sub-sections to the "Cars" section.
Added game controls for PS2 and Xbox versions. Also created a condensed Table
of Contents. Made general changes (such as to the legal statement) and
alterations throughout the rest of the document as well.
Version 1.8 - 11/19/05 - Added the entire Easter Egg/Bug/Cheat section (though
it's still very basic and under development). Added weapon frequency to each
weapon in the "Weapons" section. Created more subheadings and sections to
further facilitate the locations of specific sections within the guide. Fixed
general errors and mistakes throughout the guide.
Version 1.9 - 12/16/05 - This is a rather large update. The guide now surpasses
the 500kb mark, which I find to be quite an achievement. I've finally added the
mission walkthrough for Mission 15 ("You Lucky Bastard!"). In addition, I added
the game's script for some missions, as well as the Intro/Intermezzos. On top
of that, I included the official FAQ, developer's diary, and condensed mission
walkthroughs in this update. I made numerous fixes to errors within the guide,
both technical and informational. On top of that, I just added a ton of new
content overall.
Version 2.0 - 2/18/06 - It's been quite a while since an update. Most of this
has been due to my preoccupation and/or busyness regarding subjects other than
this guide. The walkthrough for Mission 16 ("Creme de la Creme") is finished.
Also, some additional information has been added regarding missions, scripts,
etc. The legal document was updated to reflect the new year. Some new data
added from outside sources (reader contributions). I also added a copy of the
game's manual to help those who don't have one. Other than that, just a few
minor and assorted changes/fixes throughout. Just as a side note, the guide is
getting rather large, as it's now just over 700kb.
Version 3.0 - 9/8/08 - So it's been two and a half years since an
update...Well, I pride myself with my writing, not my timing. So much content
has been added that I don't even know where to begin. The missing information
for the Cars and Freeride section has all been filled in. Furthermore, the rest
of the walkthrough has been completed, and the entire Freeride Extreme Section
has gone from nonexistent to fully-written. Most impressive of all, the entire
guide has undergone a dramatic reformatting, giving it a much more accessible
and aesthetically appealing feel. A great deal of other content has been added,
including supplemental walkthroughs, new Easter eggs, and other bonus material.
Basically, the guide is done at this point. There are still some thing's I'd
like to work on in the future, but for all normal purposes, the guide is
complete. Also, given the scope and intensity of this update, I've decided to
make this version 3.0 of the guide. I mean, it's more than double the size of
the previous version, so I don't think that's too much of a stretch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Coming Soon -
---------------
Although the guide is now mostly finished, this is not necessarily the final
version; There are still a few things I've thought about including. However,
they are minor additions, so you shouldn't hold your breath in anticipation of
another large update. Otherwise, the only things that will probably come in the
future are updated copyrights and perhaps a few more reader contributions.

EXTRA THANKS
All the developers who created this amazing game - I know I already
thanked Illusion Softworks, but I think it's worth repeating
MafiaScene, once again, for being the best resource around - I simply
cannot say enough about how helpful the MS community is
Athawolfus, for allowing me the use of his game script - Again, I already
thanked him along with the rest of the guide authors, but this
contribution deserves extra thanks
AND FINALLY
You, the reader, for bothering to read through all this bloviation

Thanks for taking the time to read my guide. I hope you found it to be engaging
and informative. I, for one, certainly enjoyed writing it. Regardless of what
you discovered, I'm pleased that you took the time to look through my work.
Maybe you learned something; maybe you didn't. In writing this, all I was
really trying to do was get a half-decent guide out there that would help
someone else enjoy this game as much as I have.
Regards,
-Bloviator
