Mafia Walkthrough for PC Games Game Name: Mafia Format: PC Games Submitted By: - MAFIA Walkthrough By The Gamer (C) 2002 PART I : (please check www.ukwalkthroughs.com for the remaining parts) 1. AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE You need to lose the mobsters on your tail, there is no set direction to do this, but seeing as though their car is faster than your cab in a straight line its best to keep turning into roads repeatedly. So stay in the built up area with lots of turns, rather than head to the long straight roads just yet, watch out for crashing into other traffic and hitting lamp posts, they may hit a lamp post or another car on the way but don't count on it, eventually once the red mark on your radar dissapears it means your getting a good lead on them, now is the time to head for a long straight and put some real distance between you and them, you should then get the all clear that you've lost them, then enjoy the cut scene. 2. RUNNING MAN One thing you should get into the habit of right away is; before you start to drive in this game, always check your speed limiter is on, if it's not, press the F5 key ( by default). Now your going about your job as a taxi driver, you have more than enough time, all you have to do is read your map well and drive with care, if you hit a pedestrian by accident , your passenger will be scared and you will fail the mission, it really helps if you set your map key where you can still drive with your fingers still over your brake, gear keys etc; if it isn't already, this means you can check your map while driving and still have full control over your vehicle, which will be of great help throughout the game. This mission really helps to introduce you to driving and map reading, you will ferry a few passengers around in this mission, when you arrive closer to your destination you will see the red X, you need to get as close to it as possible, although you don't have to be dead centred on it, just as long as your close enough and the exclamation mark ! shows up on the lower left of your screen, then simply press the 'use' key to stop the engine and let them get out. The keys to getting around in the game are the bridges or tunnel that connect the three areas, time and time again you will use the Guiliano bridge and the Centre Island tunnel, so get to know them well and realise that these will be the most commonly used routes in the game. At the end of your shift you take a coffee break, a cut scene will play to move the story along. After the cut scene you must run from the mobsters, run straight across the road and down the street in the direction your facing, you will see a big green arrow directing you to run into the alley on your right, run into it and head straight through it, you will come out of the alley onto a main road. Keeping running in a straight line, as you get across onto the other side of the pavement and a little further up the street, you will see another big green arrow directing you to go into another alley, be careful as sometimes a car can shoot out of here just as your enter it, as you go into the alley turn leftward and go up the steps and then turn to the right where you see its sunlit, with washing hanging up across it, go straight and then go right to exit the alley. Notice another green arrow on your left, enter this alley and go forwards following your red direction arrow gauge, then exit this area on the right and you will be out onto the main road with Salieri's bar directly ahead of you, run to it, minding you don't get hit by a car in the traffic, and then get to the front door, a cut scene will play, you've made it! 3. MOLOTOV PARTY Drive to Morello's bar on your map, you know the routine by now, speed limiter on, no going through red lights, and other illegal driving. Once you arrive there park the car on the left of it in that large open space, and park with the car pointing out to the road so you can make an easier getaway afterwards, do not go near the front as the guy standing there on guard will tell you to get lost and start firing at you and bring out the rest of morello's mob, so go round the back of the bars car park and open the metal gate there, now go right up behind the guy guarding the car park entrance on the front, and let your power meter load up fully and whack him across the back of the head with your bat and he will drop like a fly. Now you can get busy with wrecking the cars, firstly know that you usually don't have enough time to wreck all three with your bat, as Morello's men will often come out of the bar all guns blazing, so you need to wreck one or two and then use a molotov for the remaining, pick the smallest car on the right and wreck it with the bat, the reason being, its easier to molotov the other two from a more spacious distance or even throw from the gate. Watch the damage meter as you bash the car, once it is up to full red, a message will appear on screen telling you that car is now wrecked enough, once done, you can start on the next or molotov both, but make sure your a good aim or you'd have to finish the car/cars off with the bat, as stated earlier you will sometimes get away with bashing 2, but never have time for 3, aim by throwing it so it lands almost under the car, and know that these things take about 15 seconds to blow the cars up, so if the flames go out and you think it hasn't worked, give it a bit more time, as you don't want to walk over to it again and it blows up with you too. Once they blow, job done, I like to stand at the metal gate and watch the tyres fly and spin everywhere, now the fun is over you need to get back to the car before the mobsters come out, get in and drive off calmly, theres no need to rush, if by any chance the mob do come out when your wrecking the cars you can usually molotov the car/cars and it will take them out too, if they chase you to your car you can simply get in and drive off, they won't be following you in a high speed pursuit, now head back to Salieri's bar, he will be well pleased with you. 4. ORDINARY ROUTINE Go to Vincenzo's to get a weapon, he will always be in his workshop that is just outside the Salieri car park and up the metal steps on the left as your going out from the Don's back door. Go in and talk to him, you will visit him here many times in the game for weapons. Now another person you will see a lot of in the game is the mechanic Ralph, who speaks with a stutter, he will always be in the car park or in his garage working away under a car or hanging around in there, you need to go to him and talk to him, by pressing the 'use' key, he will show you how to break into many cars throughout the game, and give you a car for this mission, to break into a car once you need to hold down your use key until the red meter bar goes up to full. Now your ready to drive Paulie and Sam to pick up some protection money, this goes smoothly until you get to Clark's motel on the outskirts of town, Paulie and Sam get shot up and Paulie will come out to you, telling you to get Sam out of there. What you need to do is run to the left and go round the back, there is a guard dog there so don't hang about, see the crates that are piled up next to the wall? they lead up like stepping stones, so use your jump/climb key and get up them one by one, once your up one the dog can't get at you, when you are at the top drop down, go through the door and once inside go to the room just opposite a little to the left, in there you will see a thompson lying there, pick it up, go out into the corridor again and then on your left is a shut door, its a toilet and there will be a guy in there, open the door and shoot him before he can return fire, having his pants down doesn't stop him being able to use his gun properly, once you have shot him, pick up his gun, you will need all the ammo you can get, now go down to the end of the corridoor and about 3 mobsters will be coming up the stairs, if you've been quick enough you will be able to wait for them at the top as they come and kill them easily with the thompson, once dead, pick up their weapons and go downstairs, but if you have taken a lot of damage there is a room on the right in this upstairs corridoor that has a bathroom with a 30% health in the yellow cabinet on the wall, look out for these occasional cabinets throughout the game as this is where you get any health top-ups from, if you haven't taken -30% damage, best to leave it for now and come back for it when you do need it. At some point there will be a bald guy in a white vest, whose position can vary so look out for him, there will be 3 mobsters in the main room there, peek round the doorway and pick them off taking cover as best you can, once they are dead go in and pick up their ammo, one will have a thompson and this ammo can be very useful for the next mission, then you will find Sam in the adjoining room, once you have him a cut scene will play and the bald guy in the vest has come back from the dead so it seems and will knock you down, use the thompson or a Magnum as shoot him repeatedly in the head, as he can be tough to kill with a lesser gun and he seems to have a strong resistance to body shots. Another cut scene plays and you have to get in the car and chase the guy who just made off with the money, it is very very tricky to kill the guy from shooting while in your car driving, so the key is to ram him so bad his car gets stuck, sometimes he will crash into oncoming traffic himself and the job is done for you, then what you should usually do is this; he will often get out of the car and take cover over on the other side of it, get out of your car, walk round the back of his car with your thompson and let him have it. It is important to stick with him as you chase him, if you should fall too far behing him at any point you will fail the mission. There seem to be two opportunities for him to get his car stuck in this mission, the first is within the first moments as you approach the tunnel, there will be oncoming traffic as you drive down and the road bends, he usually hits a car and the wall, if you can get in front and block his car up even more he may well get out here, if not you should stick with him for a few minutes, until you come to a narrow corkscrew bend at the bottom of dipping road that turns to the right, he tends to steer off into the grass abit anyway here, all you have to do is be right with him as he goes down this tight bend and then block his car off even more so hes well and truly stuck, then you can finish him. If by chance you still didn't get him, if you can stick with him as you go up the high winding road, you can block his path again at the tight bend as the road gets extremely steep, and kill him there. 5 & 6 FAIRPLAY During the cutscene Salieri informs you about how he is going to fix a race in his favour by having a drivers car tampered with, on a race he is betting on, you need to drive over to the racetrack on the outskirts of the city and take the racing car over to Lucas', firstly drive on over to the racetrack entrance, once there stop and get out and meet Bobby, he will raise the barrier so you can get in, then let him get in the car with you, drive over to the end of the racetrack paddock and then park, Bobby will then open up a garage there and you can then get in the racing car, time is tight and you need to drive fast to get over to Lucas Bertone's and back in time, and there's no headlights on a race car, if you can't see too well, try upping the brightness on your monitor just for this mission to help you out, as you can't afford to damage this car to any great degree. The trick to making it in time is to speed while constantly keeping a lookout for cops on your radar ,and also obviously taking the most direct, simplest route, brake in plenty of time when coming to corners, it's better to slow that little bit early than go crashing into something or losing control of the car and it costing you precious time. Once you get to Lucas' let him work his magic, then get it back again to the racetrack, there will be more pressure on now as you see the clock ticking down but providing you choose a good route you should make it in time. Salieri announces to you that you are about to drive in the race, now if your used to playing racing games this mission shouldn't be too much trouble, but if you don't play racing games then i'm afraid your going to have to be patient and simply practice until you can win the race, many gamers have found this race hard but there is a knack to the course, i'll guide you through it for those of you that are finding it difficult: Firstly, the start of the race is scripted, it always starts exactly the same, notice the blue car will stall on the grid, drive past that on its right, then a moment later a red car will move over to the right, this is where you switch left and take the space it was occupying, this gives you a clear charge to the first corner now. The key to driving this car on the track is to let the car roll smoothly around bends, rather than brake harshly and snatch the steering round, so work out where your braking points are, then just let the car roll nice and smoothly round the first bend, then get on the gas again and drive round to the corner on the right, as the track starts to veer to the right further along, about the time where you will get a checkpoint time pop up on your screen, that is the time to brake and then turn right and let the car coast, as it is very easy to lose control of it here, then once the car is straightened up again inline with the track, put the gas on again as you are going downhill, then brake and coast it left around the hairpin there, then as you rise to the top of the climb, brake early so you can get round that left turn comfortably, then race down to the chicane with the red and white kerbs, stay over to the right as you go through here and slow a little but you don't have to slow too much if you've stayed to the right, you may find you've cut the track a little bit but it doesn't matter and you will get through it much quicker, then approach the bend on the left where the trees are, again slow and coast round then get back on the gas and go flat out round the steeped embankment and down the start finish straight, this time when you come to the first bend you will be approaching it at a much faster speed than when you started off, so find your braking point a bit earlier this time. If you can put it one good lap like this, then you have proved you are capable of all 5 consecutively with practice, it is possible to win the race by more than 20 seconds. Incidentally I drove with the in car view where the bonnet is just below your field of vision. Once the race has been won the next part of this mission is to go over to Lucas Bertone's, he will tell you where you can steal a yellow Lassiter over by the municipal building, this is easy as there is no one around to trouble you, so drive over nice and leisurely and take it, you have now added another car to your ever growing garage. 7. SARAH Walk with Sarah and soon you will be halfway down an alley where 3 thugs will appear, Sarah will make a run for it into an alleyway on the left, she will be fine for a while, this gives you time to take on the 3 thugs, equip yourself with your knuckle dusters and approach the fighting in this way; try to take on one guy at a time, because if you get sandwiched between a few, you can't return blows and you simply take damage, it's best to run towards one, strike a blow, then back off again quickly, this way you can get your blows in without getting one back, as they are constantly coming up the alley towards you it's best to constanly keep moving further up the alley, by running back a bit, running at one, hitting him then running back further, also being further up the alleyway tends to split them up a bit and gives you more room to manuevure, you will find that crouching while fighting is very effective as you can land blows and don't tend to get hit so easily by a returning blow. Once a thug has had enough he will cower by bending forwards covering his head with hands and running away, you do not have to knock anyone out cold, in fact you won't have time to do this, so leave him alone and concentrate on the next, (do not be tempted to run after them back to the start of the alley where you entered with Sarah, as you will fail the mission for leaving Sarah) now take a look at Sarahs' health meter, by now she will be in trouble in the alley where she ran to, where 2 more thugs will be assualting her, you should have sorted out the three thugs before her health meter gets too low, once you go down the alley (on the right if your now facing the alley the opppsite way you enterered) where she is and the 2 thugs spot you they will leave her alone and concentrate on you, so once her health gets to about 30 whether you've despatched all 3 thugs or not, it's about time you have to go to her and get the 2 thugs away from her and towards you. Again use the same techniques, and when they've had enough and cower and run, you can go to Sarah and walk her the rest of the way home, you may just find she's more grateful to you than you'd expect. 7b. BETTER GET USED TO IT Firstly meet Biff in China town and he will tell you where the hoodlums are located after that drive over to the destination, and press your use key to kick the red doors open, walk in and Paulie will walk over to one of the punks your going to deal with, now you need to help Paulie out in these fights so he doesn't get too hurt, while at the same time not taking too much damage yourself, the secret is to try and get behind any punks your fighting with and that way a single wack across the back of the head or the upper back can take them down, make sure you don't accidentally hit Paulie in the melee' as it can all get a bit frantic. Once the first guy has been taken out, move further along until you see some punks hitting on a innocent, go over to them and sort them out, there will be four of them, and it helps if you can lure them back down the alley just a bit to where there is more space to move around, try and get behind them and hit them, if you can't get a clean shot much better to back off than get trapped into recieving a flurry of punches or stabs, sometimes crouching can help you get a few blows in if you are facing them. Once all four of them are down, there are actually two more if you back up down the alley and off to the side, there you will see them, but it isn't actually neccesary to deal with these two, so unless you've taken little or no damage you may want to just forget them, depends how thorough you want to be. Now carry on down the alleyway and up some metal steps, then drop down to a new area, there will be some more hoodlums this time with firearms, do not fire at them until they have fired the first shot, or you will fail the mission, its best to get over to the left and take cover and then pick 3 guys off there, then run over to where two of those three guys came from and take cover, this will give you an advantage over the guy now firing in the alley corner, as Paulie will be shooting at him while you can pick him off from the side. Once he is down pick up any pistols the thugs had on them, then carefully follow on down the alley where the last guy was you took out, there will be another, in a blue shirt, use the magnum on him and then take out any more just past him, then the cutscene will play and it's time to get in the car, let Paulie get in too, and then follow the two hoodlums who made off in the car, all you have to do is stay on their tail, no need to ram them or shoot at them, eventually they will come to a stop, just drive up to them, get out of the car, and walk over to their car, another cut scene will play to end the mission. 8. THE WHORE Frank tells you that your to go to the hotel Corleone and assasinate the manager in public, kill a prostitute and plant a bomb, just a normal day really. It is very helpful to have a good walk around this hotel before you actually start anything in the mission as you can help yourself a great deal by familiarizing yourself with it, notice it has a fire escape at the end of the right corridoor in the doorway on the left. Start by entering the hotel and go to the reception and talk to the guy there, note in the back behind him is a keyring rack and some health in a cabinet, you will need a key there to get into the directors office, but for now you must kill the manager, go left and to the very end of the room will be the manager in a white suit sitting talking to someone, go up to him and shoot him, he may be a bit tricky to shoot so don't stand too close to him, often he will even get away, but you can just stand behind him and shoot him in the back as he runs off. (Incidentally if he should run off and escape you, don't worry, you can find him hiding in the directors office later on.) Watch out for the guy who will be on the other side of the room where the manager was sitting, he will whip out a gun as soon as you start shooting, you need to kill him, then wait for the other men that will come in brandishing guns, one man will have a shotgun, he will be the one to shoot as priority as you need to stop him getthing close and firing that thing at you, kill all the men and pick up their guns, incidentally, kill the sailor on the right in the room as he will start firing at you a bit later on, so may as well kill him now when you won't take any damage from him. Now go to the reception, go to the keyring and pickup the key using the use button, and then use the +30 health pack if you need it, now the whore is on the 3rd floor, there are are 4 floors in the building, if you count the ground floor as the 1st floor, the directors office is on the 4th floor, on the right. You can go up the stairs or you can take the metal fire escape but know this; at some point you will run into a couple more men and one of them will have a shotgun, you need to kill him first, or you could take some serious damage or even be killed. Count the floors as you run up, once you are at the third floor, if your coming from the hotel stairs then turn right, and head down the corridoor to the back end, and the whore will be in the first room on the back left side. If your coming from the metal fire escape stairs then as you exit them into the hotel corridoor, just head forward down that corridoor you came out into and then she will be in the first room on the left on the back left side. Once the whore has been found you need to go to the directors office on the top floor, so go up one more level and you will see it on the right, it will be the first room there and have a sign on the door, be ready, because as you go in he will be waiting for you with a firearm, kill him, then go to the desk and then a cutscene will play and Tommy will plant the bomb. Your now on a rooftop, climb onto the ledge on your right and run up the fire escape until you get to the top, (sometimes the cops will be right behind you, coming up the fire escape, it can depend), anyway keep going up the fire escape until you reach the very top, then turn right so that you go along and meet a blue door there that is part of the building, don't confuse this with the blue door on the top of the roof on the left, that one won't open anyway, go through it and then up the steps and out of that door onto a rooftop, face right and climb up the ledge and then onto the next ledge so you can get over and onto another roof part, then run along that rooftop, get onto the ledge and then jump over onto the rooftop facing it, now go to the front right of this rooftop and take cover as there will be a cop shooting at you directly ahead, watch how every so often he will just stand up and let you take pot shots at him, this is the time to stand out and shoot, then take cover while he takes his shots, when he behaves like this, providing you take cover when he shoots theres only going to be one winner and thats you, now face forward to where the cop was and drop down onto the brown slabs that act as stepping stones, , then on the left of the rooftop drop down again onto some more brown stepping stones. Now be careful here as several cops will come out of a doorway, your no doubt low on health by now, so it's important to take good cover and pick them off, once they are dead move ahead to where there is a rising slab that will get you over to the next part of the roof, beware here as there will be two policemenn the rooftop above you, now drop down to some wooden scaffolding on the left, from the roof and then go along it and then turn right and once you goup some wooden steps a cut scene will play, Tommy will put a ladder across from the scaffolding to a nearby church roof. 8b. THE PRIEST Walk down the plank and inside the rooftop, pick up a health in the cabinet on the wall as you go down the steps, it will restore you to 100; full health, once you get to the bottom a cut scene will play, once it's done Shoot the guy dead who's just in front of you, it's best if you have your colt 1911 out as you need to be fast to take this guy out before he damages you and this gun will fire many rounds quickly, then you need to dash to the pulpit, if you have any shotgun ammo now is the time to use it on the guy who is to the left of the pulpit, you can blast him as you are running to the pulpit, if you miss him don't worry, keep on heading for the pulpit, he won't come up after you, then halfway up the pulpit steps, crouch, change to a pistol, a magnum is a good choice close up, and shoot the guy at the top of the pulpit, you will be taking fire from the guy at the front of the church high up who has a tommy gun, so crouch while hes shooting, listen to his burst of fire, when he stops to reload go to the very top of the pulpit and shoot the other guy on the front pew down below you, now crouch and go back down to the very bottom of the pew and peep round, the left of the pew, you will see a guy in the very far corner of the church in the dark, its very dark back there so if you can't see him then brighten your monitor a bit, keep shooting at him from where you are, he can't hit you hardly from here behind the pulpit, but up close he does serious damage, once hes dead you can take a few shots at the tommy gun guy up high, go halfway up the pulpit again and use the large pillar there as cover, but in a moment four more guys will come bursting through the church doors at the front and two are armed with shotguns, the best way to deal with them is not to take them all on in one go, and certainly not close up, but to run back to the doorway where you came in, you can then pick them off from there, two of them will come up the church towards you, while two will always stay at the back, you can take them out from there but if they get too close to you, you can go up the steps and the rafters, and let them come up after you, you can wait for them at a good vantage point and aim for their heads, once they are dead go back into the church and the other goons will be firing from a distance the shotgun can't reach you from here; if you stay at the doorway, use the advantage of your pistols at long range against the disadvantage of their shotgun, the colt 1911 is excellent at long range, all the time shooting them from a place where your out of fire from tommygun man, once they are dead, pick tommy gun off from a distance too, with good cover, notice how every now and again he will just stand up straight like a dummy, practically inviting you to shoot him, take advantage of this and finish him, always use the large pillar as cover, you can stand halfway up the pulpit or further back at the doorway where you came in, once hes dead he will fall down from his perch and then a cutscene will play, you've just survived your first really heavy gunfight in the game, well done.
