1. Introduction [INTRO]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, hello, hello! Thanks for choosing this walkthrough to be your wondrous
guide into the world of The Godfather.
Now this guide follows a simple procedure. It does not list missions then
safes then film reels then businesses etc. It lists them according to the
order when you should be able to take them on (I won't have you take on the
Cuneo compound right after the second mission).
Now, onto the guide (well first, the legal crap).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Weapons [WEAPO]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVOLVER
.38 Snub Nose
The .38 snub nose is a standard police-issue sidearm. It is the quietest
firearm, but is also the weakest.
.38 Special (LVL.2)
The .38 special is and upgraded revolver with a slightly faster firing rate
than the base revolver. Your ammo has increased to 60 bullets.
Saturday Night Special (LVL.3)
The Saturday night special is a modified revolver that has the fastest firing
rate. Your ammo carry limit has increased to 80 bullets.
PISTOL
Pistol (Level 1)
The semiautomatic sidearm uses a vertical clip with an eight round capacity.
The pistol has a fast firing speed with an even faster reload.
Extended Clip Pistol (Level 2)
The modified/extended clip pistol has an upgraded clip that holds 10 rounds
and fires faster than its predecessor. The modified pistol has an ammo carry
limit of 80 rounds.
Assassin's Pistol (Level 3)
The assassin's pistol is the most advanced pistol available, with a
blistering firing rate. Its extended clip holds 14 rounds, making for very
few reloads.
The ammo carry limit is increased to 140 bullets.
MAGNUM
Magnum (Level 1)
The magnum is a hand cannon with a swing and cylinder. The magnum is the
loudest and most powerful sidearm, and it rivals the shotgun in damage dealt.
Extended Barrel Magnum (Level 2)
The modified/extended barrel magnum is upgraded to use longer bullets that
deal more damage and exit the cylinder faster than the case magnum.
Python (Level 3)
The python is the most lethal one-handed firearm available. It's upgraded from
the modified magnum, and its cylinder holds eight rounds. The hollow-tip
bullets it uses deal an unparalleled amount of damage. Additionally, the ammo
carry limit is increased to 80 bullets.
TOMMY GUN
Tommy Gun (Level 1)
The tommy gun is a compact machine gun that is small and light enough for one
man to handle. It cuts enemies down in record time, but it has a slow reload.
Modified Tommy Gun (Level 2)
The modified tommy gun is augmented to hold 50 bullets, and it has a faster
firing rate than the standard tommy gun. The reload is still slow though.
Dillinger (Level 3)
The Dillinger is the most advanced tommy gun available. It has an astounding
75-bullet clip, making for fewer reloads and a blistering firing rate.
SHOTGUN
Long Barrel Shotgun (Level 1)
The long barrel shotgun is a pump-action rifle that fires effectively over
short ranges. Because the shotgun has a pump reload after every two shots,
you better make every shot count.
Double Barrel Shotgun (Level 2)
The double barrel shotgun has a slightly shortened barrel that makes for more
damage with each shell. More importantly, your ammo count is increased to 24
bullets.
Street Sweeper (Level 3)
The street sweeper is arguably the most powerful firearm available. The clip
is modified to hold 10 shells that are fired like an automatic weapon. The
ammo carry limit is increased to 100 shells.
BASEBALL BAT
The baseball bat (or other melee weapon) is a strong weapon that is great for
intimidation, and in the right hand, it can be lethal.
MOLOTOV
Total carried: four (without skill upgrade).
The Molotov is a glass bottle filled with fuel and topped off with an oily
rag. Light it and watch your targets burn. You can carry only a limited
number, so use the Molotovs wisely.
DYNAMITE
Total carried: one (without skill upgrade). Dynamite does tremendous damage
to a small area, making it great for destroying vehicles, safes, and bank
vaults. It can be thrown or planted, but it has a short fuse, so watch your
back.
BOMB
Total carried: one (without skill upgrade). A bomb deals tremendous damage to
a large area. If thrown or planted inside a building, it will gut it. Because
the bomb has a long fuse, timing is everything.
GARROTE WIRE
The garrote is an instrument of execution by strangulation. To use it you
must seize your enemy form behind, so be patient.

6. Walkthrough [WALKT]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now, here comes, the moment you've all been waiting for, the Walkthrough!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.01 Mission 0 [MIS00]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Mission 0 isn't really a mission, it's a prelude. So when asked when
starting a new game "Do you want to play the prelude?" click yes. Otherwise
click no and skip to Ceremony 1.
In the movie you see Johnny Trapani (your father) paying his dues to Don
Corleone and Peter Clemenza. You see him meet his wife, Sarafina (your
mother) outside of his bakery. Then the bakery explodes in a mass of flames!
What are we to do?
As Johnny rushes in he sees a couple of thugs. Just hold the left mouse
button and press Q and E until they're kneeling. Now knee them in the face
(don't worry; neither the flames nor the thugs can hurt you)! Once you're
done with all of them a cut scene appears.
You see your father emerge from the flames just as Don Barzini's men pop him
full of lead. Then you see yourself as a small boy and Don Corleone telling
you to save your anger until the time is right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.02 Ceremony 1 [CER01]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Ceremonies are basically cut scenes but I will explain them just in case
you don't understand.
It is The Godfather's daughter's wedding day today. As Luca Brasi stands
outside practicing his speech you see Sarafina walk into the Godfather's
office. She talks to him and asks him to find you.
Tom Hagen (the Corleone's consigliere) stares out the window while Luca
finishes his speech and decides to leave. "One more thing my friend," says
the Don. "I need you to find someone for me."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.03 Mission 1 [MIS01]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You should have made your character to your liking by now.
You are getting beat up just as Luca starts strolling in. You got involved in
this gang and now you want some cash. This fatso doesn't like that idea. Then
Luca takes a lead pipe and smashes his brains in. He finally found you.
Now this mission is really easy. Just do what the computer tells you to do.
Oh...wait! Before you beat up the last guy, throw him into the crate at the
right side of the alley. Voila! $1000. That's a lot of cash in the beginning
of the game.
Talk to Luca and he'll give you a map and tell you about the objectives menu.
Your first objective is to go to the safehouse. Not so fast! We've got some
exploring to do.
Now as soon as you get out of the alley turn left. Keep heading down Bowery
St. then make a left into the alley. Ignore the Tattaglia gangster here and
at the end of the alley. When you emerge you should see a barber shop across
the street. That’s Demantagna’s barber shop owned by the Tattaglias.
Here’s where the fun begins.
Grab hold of the Tattaglia mobster in front of the shop. Walk him over to
the window and press W to throw him in. Run into the shop and knock him out.
Take his gun (if he doesn’t have a gun that’s ok; use melee for the next
part). Draw the pistol, open the door in the back of the store, and fire away
at the second Tattaglia gangster. Reload it, hide it, and then go back into
the front of the store again. Talk to the barber.
He refuses to pay. We gotta teach him a lesson (now the bar in the upper
right hand corner shows when he’s going to crack and when he’s going to fight
back; the objective here is, not to take the money when the blue bar goes just
past the green bar, but to make it go just short of the red bar [if you settle
with the lowest cash payment all the time you can lose up to a $100,000!]).
I would settle with a payout of about $700-750. But, once you reach 700 stop
and talk to him again. You don’t wanna go too far or else or you’re going to
blow it. Target his register, punch it out, and take the money inside. Still
doesn’t crack?  Hold ‘im and take out a few punches until the payout is about
$700 (more or less $25). Stop and talk to him. He should give you your payout
and now he’ll pay you every week! Now emerge from the store with a happy smile
on your face, right? Wrong! We still got one more thing to do. Get out of the
barbershop and go left. Turn left into the alley. Go down until you see a man
with a puppet sign on top of him. This guy’s a black market merchant. He
sells either guns or bombs. Talk to him and buy one (1) dynamite stick. Now
head back into the store. Go into the back room and stand by the safe. When
the “Plant Dynamite - P” icon appears press P and run into the front of the
store (don’t run out of the store because it might get glitched). When you
hear the explosion run back into the back room and take the dynamite, the
money, and any gun that emerges.
Now head to the safehouse. Right in front of it should be a rather large
gunfight. Avoid it. Now as soon as you walk in go to the start menu. When your
respect points go up a level you get a skill point. Skill points can be traded
in for skills at any time in the game. I suggest keeping everything leveled
because you don't want your character to be one-sided. Click “Skills and
Upgrades” then up your fighting by one and your shooting by one. Then go
upstairs and into your room. Take the RX bottle on the table if you need it
(full health) and also take the baseball bat by the trunk. Then finally save.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.04 Mission 2 [MIS02]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now before you start the mission, in the main menu of the game go to “Load
Game”. The once your character appears go to “Edit”. Here you can edit your
character if you want to. I would suggest wearing the clothes that I tell you
to wear but that’s completely up to you. But remember; the clothes I tell
you to wear = more respect bonus.
“Il Diavolo Rosso”
Dress Shirt   Open Collar         $0      0 respect     2/3 pattern  8/12 color
----------------------------------------------------------
Pants          Casual Pants      $0        0 respect    2/3 pattern  9/12 color
----------------------------------------------------------
Shoes          Dress Shoes         $0        0 respect    -----------  6/6 color
----------------------------------------------------------
Go and answer the phone by pressing space. You hear someone tell you to meet
Luca outside. Go do just that. Yay, cut scene!
Luca starts telling you how he likes it in this town now and warns you never
to disrespect the Godfather. Then he tells you that old Emilio is paying the
Tattaglias his money.
When you start out talk to Luca one more time. Then go into the butcher shop
across the street. You see a menu come up of what I’ve taught you before. Then
go talk to old Emilio.
He won’t budge. So, let’s destroy his counter, scale, and his cash register
(take the money inside). He probably will already pay you but let’s turn up
the heat a little more. Grab him and punch him until you get a payout of about
$1,100. Now talk to him again. He’ll be more than happy to pay you the money.
The back door has been unlocked.
Go through the back door and up the stairs. You’ve discovered a racket. Don’t
go talk to the racket boss just yet. Beat up both Tattaglia thugs then one of
the fat men. Now you should see a bar that says Frankie “The Flush” in the top
right hand corner of your screen. Grab him then bring him to a wall and smack
him. Ohhhh. That works real well. Do it again, and again, and again, until you
get a payout of about $750. Now talk to him and buy him out. Now go and plant
the dynamite on the safe in the other room. Run and hide either downstairs or
behind a poker table. When you here the boom go and collect the $1,500 and the
dynamite stick. Uh-oh. Police in the house. Bribe him for just $100! Then go
and give Luca the money you “earned”. He tells you to go meet his friend,
Paulie Gatto.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.05 Mission 3 [MIS03]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go to the skills menu and upgrade your health and your speed by one notch.
Then go talk to the mobster wearing the black jacket. He’ll tell you to go take
over business. We can’t do that just yet. Go to your safehouse and save.
Then go to the edit menu and put on these clothes (it might seem like a lot
of money now, but we’ll get 5x as much back; don’t worry)
“The Beige Brawler”
Vest           Closed w/    $3,600    1125 respect 3/4 pattern  12/12 color
Rolled Up
----------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------
Total                 $5,520    1,730 respect
Now that we have that straightened out let’s go see Paulie. Either walk or
take the car that is parked behind the building (back door) to the Falconite
social club. When you get there walk in front of it to trigger a cut scene.
In the scene you meet Paulie and Monk. They tell you that the Undertaker’s
daughter got beat up pretty bad by a couple of punks. Follow them and stick
close.
Now before going straight in and fighting the thugs there’s a certain money
bag that you should get. To the left of the graveyard should be a church. To
the right of the church doors should be a see-through fence. If you look
really closely you can see a bag of money leaning up against the headstone.
But, first...
Go with Monk and Paulie and whack the blue guy. Then run into the graveyard,
get the money ($2,000), then start throwing the red guy around. When he’s just
below dying a cut scene triggers.
You and Monk throw Red into a grave and Monk starts throwing dirt on him.
Paulie tells him he should treat the ladies a little nicer and with a little
respect. Now it’s too late. Then he K.O.s him with the shovel. Congrats! You
passed mission three. Go to the skills menu and upgrade your street smarts one
notch. Then talk to Monk. He tells you that Luca is waiting for you over at
the Bowery. Don’t go to him yet. We have a crazy load of stuff to do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.06 Free Roam 1 [FRR01]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now free roaming is basically about getting your respect and money up. Taking
over business/rackets, buying safehouses, and collecting film reels. You can
choose to skip free roams but I highly suggest you do them. The min. net value
is “$”. The max. is “$$$$$”. NOTE: An easy way to add money and increase the
pain the shopkeeper is receiving and giving try strangling him/her (X).

Description: Go to Global Trading Co. Once you get there, there should be an
alley on the north side of the building. Circle around and you should see two
more thugs there. Don’t go through the back door. Go all the way down the
alley and crouch behind the dumpster. Now the thugs don’t see you. Get out
some kind of weapon and shoot one guy in the head. When the second one starts
running shoot him too. Now the three in front should start running towards
you. If they don’t go back to the front of the store and blow their brains
out. Now that that is taken care of head on into the store. Talk to the owner.
He won’t pay. Here comes the fun part. Destroy his two cabinets and his
register then melee and strangle him until he croaks I went to about $550 but
you can go more if you’re brave enough.
But there’s still the matter of the racket upstairs. Now you should have
gotten some kind of heavy weapon from the thugs outside. Take it out and go
through the back door. Take out the thug and wait. The double doors open and
two more thugs run in. Take them out then go on in. Take out the thug coming
down the stairs, then go up yourself. When the door opens, kill the thug that
comes out and the one that comes out of the room on the left. Collect all the
ammo and money you may have missed then go back into the room upstairs (it has
a bunch of windows). Blow up the safe then go through the other door upstairs.
Take a left then go into the elevator. When it arrives you should be on the
roof of the building. There are two thugs here and a racket boss, so be
careful when you’re firing not to kill him. Destroy the thugs and then talk to
the boss. If he don’t pay try turning up the heat a little. Grab hold of him
then throw him. Slam him into a couple of walls until the payout goes to about
$630. Then lay off or else he’ll fight back. Oh yeah. And upgrade your
fighting again one notch.

care of go inside. Beat up some bystanders, destroy the register, and then
throw her around a bit. I’d settle with $1,200. Then go through the back door
with a loaded firearm. Kill all the thugs and then try to intimidate the boss
with strangles and firearms. He’s hard to crack and I settled with the lowest
payout: $250. After that, go downstairs and crack the safe. Take the dynamite
and emerge from the shop unscathed.

Cuneo mob men are running towards the alley. Reload and pop a couple in the
head if you can. Then come out of hiding and kill everyone else point blank.
Then go in. When you go in destroy all the counters and the register then
punch the owner a couple of times. I quit at $1,100. Now let’s go downstairs
shall we?
Kill the lone thug then convince the racket boss to pay you no less than

begins. Kill the thug hiding behind the couch. Then hide there yourself as

the stairs to the left. Now go in. Now as soon as you get inside shoot and
kill the thug to your left. Once he's taken care of talk to the host and go

Max Payout: $1,800
Min Payout w/ W.O.S: $565
Max Payout w/ W.O.S: $2,250
Net Value: $$
Description: Go to Hotel Alioto. Six thugs are surrounding it. Two in the
front, two in the crevice to the right, and two in the crevice across the
street. Now the basic plan of attack is to hide behind a wall and try to get
headshots each time. If you can't do that just rush in. Now extorting the owner
isn't that hard. You just have to slam his head into the counter a couple of
times that's all. I stopped at around $1,000. Now lets head on upstairs.
There might be a guard prowling the stairs so be careful. Stop on the third
floor and kill the thug trying to hide behind the couch. Take his place and
take out each thug one by one until it's safe enough to go in. Talk to the
racket boss and then blow the safe to get some more cash. Before walking
out you at least be at level 11. Take the time to upgrade your shooting. It'll
help you in the long run.
RACKET TRUCKS
When you're en route to a mission, about to extort a business, or on the
street with out a purpose, and you spot a racket truck, attempt to halo it
(stopping it at a junction and shooting the windshield), dispatch the crew
inside, interrogate the driver, and then locate your nearest safehouse to flee
from the cops. This can be dangerous, so be sure you've just saved, and you're
not in the middle (or at the end) of a mission. Try hijacking four to five
trucks to get the hang of this.
BANKS
There are two banks in Little Italy, and you should aim to rob the one nearest
your initial safehouse. The Bowery Bank is straightforward; park a truck facing
facing your safehouse, drop the dynamite, then flee to your truck and race to
the safehouse at breakneck speeds.
Savings and Loans bank offers double the money, but it's extremely far from
your safehouse. With this in mind try taking over the Stracci-owned Alioto
Hotel to the south, then purchase that safehouse (for $40,000). The expenditure
may not seem worth it, but the safehouse is useful for more than just a bank
hideout location.
NOTE: Blowing up a bank safe nets you cash, but unlike destroying a safe, your
dynamite isn't replenished afterwards. Try visiting a black market merchant
after every heist to keep your dynamite stock up to par.
SAFES
Whenever you extort a business and a racket, be sure you check for a safe, then
blow it up. You receive another stick of dynamite, and a bag of swag that could
contain up to $1,000. Your goal is to collect all the items each business has
to offer; the safe is the most important, but collect stray money, items,
weapons, and ammunition too.
NOTE: Don't forget to crack the safes inside the clinics too.
CONTRACT HITS
Don't worry about looking for gangsters that have especially annoyed the
Corleone Family; you haven't met Salvatore Tessio yet.
BRIBING THE POLICE
If you need to lose so heat. be sure you visit the cop shop; there's only one
in Little Italy. Head into the parking area to the left, and talk to the police
chief. Have some money handy. Also bribe beat cops if your heat level escalates
past two.
WAREHOUSES AND TRANSPORT HUBS
There are actually five warehouses and hubs in Little Italy (one of which is
derelict), but it isn't wise to take them over until you've spent some more
skill points.
RIVAL FAMILY COMPOUNDS
Little Italy is unique as there are no other Family compounds except the
Corleone's (the Family you're allied to). By all means head to the Corleone
Compound; if you can get inside either building, check the basement for a stash
of pistol ammunition.
WEAPON PURCHASES AND UPGRADES
There are about 12 black market merchants in the greater Little Italy area
(including the industrial area to the west). Head there for ammunition, health
(although the Doctor's office is better), and more importantly, an upgrade to
your revolver. Note you don't have to have bought the "level 2" to buy the
"level 3"; but you'll receive a large (7,500 respect) bonus for doing so. Check
your expenses, then opt for the Level 2, then the Level 3 (Saturday night
special) revolver if you can afford it.
SAFEHOUSES
It isn't necessary to purchase a safehouse this early into your expedition, as
the Grand Apartments provides access to the Bowery Bank and a cluster of
businesses to extort. There are four safehouses in Little Italy:
The Saint Martin Hotel, which is only marginally closer to the Tattaglia
warehouse to the west (extort the hotel, but buy the room later).
The Bowery Hotel is only needed when taking in the Tattaglia warehouse on the
east side of town. This is a Barzini stronghold, and should be left well alone.
Hotel Alioto would be the first choice for your next safehouse; it's near
Brooklyn so you can extend your empire before you're given a safehouse there
later in the game. The cost is astronomical, but it will pay for itself when
you're running from the cops after you just robbed Savings and Loans.
MOBFACE CLOTHING
Keep it stylish. Keep it smart. But keep on buying it! The respect bonuses are
exceptional, and the clothing is reasonably inexpensive. Try to get two or
three complete outfits.
FBI AGENTS
There's only one FBI agent in the whole of Little Italy, and it's only
necessary to find him if you start a mob war. As the Tattaglias are the major
problem, you're likely to be dealing with them primarily. Check Tom's report;
there's no concern until you start tackling down warehouses.
STOLEN SHIPMENTS
There are no stolen shipments in Little Italy, so don't concern yourself with
finding any.
FAMILY FIGHTS AND EXECUTIONS
There's only one spot where an attack between rival Families occurs; just north
of the black market merchant selling the upgraded pistol you want. Meet him
during the day to minimize the chances of being attacks, or at night to
experience the battle. Look out for two locations where an execution takes
place.
FILM REELS
Collecting the 100 film reels nets you a total of 100,000 respect points. It's
vital to find as many as possible during the early stages, as they really help
you race through respect levels. Make sure you find all 20 in the greater
Little Italy area. Optionally, head to neighboring boroughs to claim the
stashes there, too. Get as many film reels as possible, as early as possible.
Film Reel #1: In the northeast corner of the alley nest to the Verona warehouse.
Film Reel #2: In front of the door inside the fenced in area.
Film Reel #3: Just inside the St. Francis' Hospital gate on the west side.
