/==========================================================================\
| 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
code in brackets. Use the "Find" feature (for most text viewers or internet
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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
