1. Introduction (INT)
Version history
V. 1.61 - 3/12/10 - Major formatting corrections and other minor details.
V. 1.6 - 3/21/08 - It's done.  I've collected all the information I can and
everything I know is here.  You should be able to get 100% and become Don of
NYC.
V. 1.5 - 4/21/07 - Much has been done since we last met.  I've become Don of
NYC finally and I have *some* info on that.  I have all the money bags for all
of the missions now and more film reels.  Strategies section has been much
updated also.
V. 1.1 - 4/10/07 - I'm replaying the game yet again and slowly but surely
getting all the money bags, safe cracks and other collectibles I can.  I've
also started work on the strategies section.
V. 1.0 - 4/8/07 - All missions complete.  Still just need to add the finishing
touches, but everything else is done!
V. 0.90 - 4/7/07 - Missions through underboss completed.  A little more of
everything added, still need help with below items.  Basically everything you
need to know to complete the game is here.  I just need to add the finishing
touches but since break is over, give me about another week for the completed
version.
V. 0.50 - 4/6/07 - Missions through soldier completed.  More films, weapons,
contracts, etc.  Help still needed with below items.
V. 0.40 - 4/5/07 - Missions through associate completed.  Also added more
films, weapons and hit contracts but I still need help (see below).  Also
corrected some name spellings.
V. 0.25 - 4/4/07 - I have completed the game once and am going back again and
writing this guide.  So far I have written the missions up to Associate.  I
have the basics outlined, but there is so much to this game.
If you have any suggestions, corrections, comments or even compliments
please feel free to e-mail me.  Please include (Godfather) in the subject,
though or I will be likely to delete it as I get a fair amount of junk e-mail.

I would also like to point out that I have never actually
seen any of the Godfather movies so if I miss some of the subtleties in the
game connected to the movie, oh well.
2. Controls (CON)
I won't even go into how innovative the Wii controls are.  Needless to day
Wii has made gameplay a whole new experience.  This game uses the nunchuck so
make sure you have it plugged in and for goodness sake - wear the wrist strap!
Looking - Move the wiimote left and right to look around.  You can also use the
directional pad on the wiimote to change the camera view.
Walking - Use the control stick on the nunchuck.  Forward, left, right, etc.
Use the wiimote to look and change directions also.  If you hold A while
walking you will sprint for a short distance.
Driving - Press A to enter a car.  Press B to accelerate.  If you have crew
with you press + and ? to shoot from the car.  Steer with the control stick and
make sharp turns with Z or C.
Talking - You can talk to pretty much everyone (though most don't have much to
say).  Approach them and press A on the wiimote.
Fighting - Once in a while you have to kick some butt.  To do this select an
opponent by holding Z on the nunchuck and then swinging the wiimote and
nunchuck to brawl.
Weapons - When fisticuffs just aren?t enough, there's the weapons.  Hold C on
the nunchuck and your weapon menu will pop up.  This is similar to the menu if
you've played Trauma Center.  Use the control stick to select your weapon and
release C button.  Once you have a weapon selected you can put it away and whip
it out quickly by pressing (not holding) C again.  To use a weapon like a bat
is the same as fighting, just swing the wiimote.  To use a gun you use the
wiimote to aim (or old Z to auto-target) and press B on the wiimote to fire
away.  When you draw a weapon it is set to auto-target but if you want to enter
free-aim mode press + on the wiimote.
Crouching/Wall Cover - When in battle it is best not to be out in the open.
Press - on the wiimote to crouch behind boxes and stuff or to use wall cover.
This is helpful because you can still Z target and fire at enemies and it will
automatically take you back to your safe position.
Objectives - To show your current objectives press the 2 button on the wiimote.
Menu Screen - To pause and bring up the menu screen press 1 on the wiimote.
Here you have several options:
Map - Brings up a map of the area and shows where you are
(white triangle).  Hold Z to bring up a legend of what all the
other symbols mean.  Use the control stick to move the map
around and use the control pad to zoom in and out.
Here's a tip I got from Greg on waypoints since I didn't know
exactly what they do.
"When you create a waypoint on the map, the flag emblem also appears
on the minimap in the lower-right corner of the screen when you're
running/driving. This can help you in guiding where you want to go. Let's say
you're on foot and you need to get to a shop you're going to extort (where's
there's no objective point). You can go to the map, put the waypoint on that
shop, and go back and if you're close enough, you'll be able to see where the
shop is by the flag emblem on the minimap. Now let's say you're driving, and
you're on a main road with several little side roads coming off of it, one of
which you need to turn onto to get to your destination. You can put a waypoint
on the intersection of that road and when you're driving, you can think "ok I
need to take a left at the flag, then my first right..." or whatever."
Skills/Upgrades - When you level up you will be prompted to
Improve your skills (see skills section for more on this).
Objectives - Gives you more specifics than just the 2 button.
Career Progress - Shows how far you've come in the game and the
families you have taken out so far.  If you press right on the
control pad it will tell more about your current & next ranks.
Tom's Report - This screen is really useful.  It shows info
about your criminality and history.  Press right on the control
pad and it will tell you about the heat levels of any vendettas
you have going.  Press right again and it will show you the
family trees of the rival families.
Options - This is where you change things like wiimote
controls, pointer sensitivity and audio options.
Motion Tutorials - This gives overviews of the basic controls.
Quit Game - Pretty obvious, I hope.
3. Skills/Upgrades (SKL)
There are three areas of skills & upgrades: Enforcer, Operator and
Weapons.  When you are prompted to upgrade you choose which area to upgrade and
then which sub-area to specifically upgrade for Enforcer and Operator.  Weapon
upgrades are usually bought and cannot be earned with skill points.
Enforcer - This is where you upgrade your muscle stuff.  Early in the game when
you are lower in the ranks, this is the stuff you need.

Weapons - Oh, so many ways to kill people.  These upgrades are usually bought.
One interesting thing I have noticed about weapons is the ammo works for all
levels of the same gun.  For example, if you have a Dillinger and you pick up
Tommy Gun ammo, it works.  Pretty nice.

Explosives

Time Bomb - Explodes after a longer time
Molotov Cocktail - Throw it to catch stuff on fire
Melee Weapons
These weapons, such as the baseball bat and the golf club, can be found
throughout the game.  Just look around and there they are.
4. The Families (FAM)
There are five families controlling parts of the area.  Your ultimate goal
is to take them over and control the whole area yourself.
Tattaglia - Yellow jackets, 'T' shield symbol on the map.  The weakest of the
families as far as gameplay goes and generally the easiest to fight.  They
control Brooklyn.
Stracci - Blue jackets, 'S' shield symbol on the map.  The next toughest after
the Tattaglias.  They control New Jersey.
Cuneo - Red jackets, 'C' shield symbol on the map.  A pretty rough bunch,
especially since they are from Hell's Kitchen.  You should probably leave them
alone until later in the game.
Barzini - Green jackets, 'B' shield symbol on the map.  The toughest family and
they control the best part of town, Midtown.  They've got the money, the
rackets, the power.
Corleone - Black jackets, lion shield symbol on the map.  This is your family
and they used to control Little Italy but other families have been moving in.
Part of your goal is to stop this also.
5. Strategies (STR)
In this section I plan to put the various strategies I have developed for
extortion, warehouses and other stuff that doesn't really fit into the main
walkthrough.  Here's what I've got so far.
Extorting Businesses & Rackets - Probably the backbone of the game.  Your
ultimate goal is to take over every business and racket, so you'll be doing
this a lot.  There are a lot of factors to consider when trying to extort a
business.
-What kind of business?  Typically single shops are the easiest, then
restaurants, then clubs and hotels.
-What level are you?  Obviously the higher rank and more respect you have, the
more likely shopkeepers will accept your offer.
Always try to talk to the shopkeeper first.  If they don't agree then you have
to figure out their weak spot.  In the top corner is a blue bar that measures
how much pressure you've put on the person.  You want to take it to the line
and when it turns green and says 'payout' they will deal.  There are quite a
few ways to pressure shopkeepers.  This is not all of them, just all of the
ones I am sure of.
-Smack them around
-Smack their customers around
-Aim weapons at them
-Break their goods
When you successfully extort a business sometimes a back door will open up,
leading to a racket.  Rackets are illegal activities with legitimate businesses
as a front.  You will meet more rivals before you get to the racket boss.
Sometimes they are hard to find but when you do, talk to them.  Sometimes you
can buy them out and sometimes you can just take them over.  Rackets make you
much more money than regular businesses.
If you accidentally kill a shopkeeper or a racket boss that business will close
and cost you money so be careful.
Warehouses & Transport Hubs - If you really want to control a neighborhood
you've got to hit the warehouses and transport hubs.  This is no easy task and
you should wait until later in the game when you've got some decent weapons and
can hire or call a crew.  Make sure you have full police favor because they
will help you in the beginning of the warehouse.  You'll know you've found a
warehouse because you will hit a roadblock.  Plow through it and when you get
to the warehouse prepare for a gunfight.  Shoot everything that moves as you
make your way through the warehouse.  You're looking for a racket boss, same as
above and when you find him talk to him or buy him out.
Robbing Banks - If you want to make any real money you'll have to hit the
banks.  Plus, it's one of the collectables to rob all the banks anyway.  It
helps if you have full police favor, but in the end it doesn't matter because
you will get full heat anyway.  Walk in a bank and find the vault.  Depending
on the bank you might have to shoot the guards before or after.  When you find
the vault plant some dynamite and move out of the way.  Grab the money bags and
draw your gun.  The cops will come and guards will be shooting.  You now have
to get back to a safehouse before you can truly claim the money.
Hijacking Trucks - You'll see several moving vans throughout the game.  These
are racket trucks and if you can hijack them and deliver the goods yourself you
can earn quite a profit.  You have to do this for one of the missions anyway
but in general it is easier.  Start by ramming the truck or trying to run it
into something.  Try to trap it so it can't get away.  Get out and shoot if you
can.  Soon two rival family members will jump out of the back and start
shooting at you.  Kill them and the driver will get out.  Interrogate him and
he will give you the keys.  Look on your map now.  There will be several truck
symbols.  You can take the racket truck to any of them and as soon as you hit
the blue square, the money is yours, but of course the rival family will be
chasing you.  The truck values start off low but they increase the more you
hijack.  Also, you will make more money the better condition the truck is in
when you drop it off.
Bribery - There are a few levels of bribery in the game.
1. Blue uniform cops - The lowest and the cheapest to bribe, but their favor
also lasts the shortest.
2. Black uniform cops - Their bribes cost more but they raise the favor much
higher than the blue guys.
3. Police Chiefs - Obviously the most expensive and you automatically get full
favor.  I did not notice this until halfway through the game, but each police
chief has a dirty secret.  If you can find and expose that secret, the chief
will help you out a lot more, sometimes for free.
-Little Italy Police Chief - After you take over the racket upstairs in the
club on Bowery between Division and Madison, flirt with one of the girls.  She
will tell you to check out the Old St. Patrick-s Cathedral (in north Little
Italy).  Go there and interrogate the gravedigger.  He will tell you the chief
killed his wife after a fight and to prove it he gives you some of her jewelry.
Confront him at the barber shop and he agrees to help you for free forever.
-Midtown Police Chief - After you take over the Stracci Flower Shop racket in
Midtown, flirt with one of the girls.  She tells you a creepy John takes
pictures and he has pictures of the police chief.  Head to the hospital (east)
and get the pictures.  They cost 10,000 but if you show them to the police
chief (look for his symbol on the map to find him) he will help you for free
from now on.
-Hell's Kitchen Police Chief - After you take over the Providence Hotel in
north Hell's Kitchen, flirt with the girl in the room next to the safehouse.
She will tell you the Hell's Kitchen police chief's son had to go into witness
protection and she knows the FBI agent in charge of his case.  He is at the
church in Hell's Kitchen.  When you get there you may have to shoot another
mobster trying to bribe the agent.  I'm not sure if I met him by coincidence or
if it was part of the story.  Anyway, interrogate the agent and he tells you
the chief's son is in Chicago.  Take this information back to the chief and he
will help you for free also.
-New Jersey Police Chief - After you take over the Crane Club on the east side
one of the girls tells you the police chief has been stealing evidence and
hiding it at the George hotel.  Head there and find his room.  Bribe the cops
outside the door to let you in and blow up the safe.  You will now have stolen
evidence to confront the police chief with.  When you do he agrees to help you
gratis.
-Brooklyn Police Chief (thanks to h16moningka)-
"You have to go to north west club located in Brooklyn, there you can flirt to
a singer which just so happened to sing there.  She will tell you that a doctor
has been prescribing drugs illegally.  Confront the doctor and he will get
upset and try to hit you.  At the back of the clinic, there is a vault that you
need to open (you can also try exploding the vault before talking to the
doctor, I think it works both ways).  You will get a prescription to the chief,
go to the chief at the local barber and you will get free protection."
4. FBI Agents - There are several FBI agents.  You can tell their symbol on the
map because it is bigger than the police chief symbol and it says FBI on it.
Whenever you start a mob war, these guys can help you out.  The bribe starts at
$2,000 but it increases as the vendetta increases.  Pay them and you
automatically win the mob war.
Executions - I'm not going to reinvent the wheel or anything.  There is a
perfectly great guide on the executions so I'm not going to list them.  What I
will do is give some commentary regarding gameplay.  First, you can find your
execution styles in Tom's Report.  There is a bunch and you will get a bonus if
you get them all.  They have to be performed on a rival mobster to count,
though.  Some are easy, some not so much.  You will probably get most of them
through regular gameplay.  There will be some that you will have to go out of
your way perform, though.  Next, the biggest problem with getting all the
executions is not performing them but either finding the weapons (especially
the flipping tire iron) or finding mobsters.  If you wait until the end after
you have taken over all the businesses you will find that there are few rival
mobsters.  And for some of the executions it is better to have the mobsters in
specific settings (like in a bar for the bottle execution, for example) and you
might not be able to do that if you wait until the end.  So if you are going
for all of the executions, start early, especially with the weird ones.
6. Beginning the Game - Outsider (BEG)
Little Italy, 1936 (LIT)
The beginning of the game has a lot of cut-scenes and this is the first of
them.  You start out paying tribute to Don Corleone and go to meet your girl,
but unfortunately your bakery explodes and you are attacked by the Barzini
family.  You?ll get some practicing moving the camera, Z-targeting and fighting
but it will all be for nothing as Don Barzini comes and orders his men to gun
you down.
The Corleones and your son come across the scene and Don Corleone advises
your son to save his anger and he will get his revenge someday.
You now have a chance to modify your new character's appearance.  If
you've played the Sims then you'll like this part.  Knock yourself out.
Price of Loyalty - Corleone Compound, 1945 (POL)
Another cut scene.  Nine years have passed and little Connie Corleone is
getting married.  Sarafina (your mother) takes this chance to speak to Don
Corelone since no Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day.
You have fallen in with some bad men and your mother wants the Don to look
after you, since your father was loyal to the Corleones.  He agrees and sends
Luca Brasi to find you.  When he does you are getting your butt kicked but he
takes care of that.
Welcome to the Family - The Docks, (WTF)
Money - $500, Respect - 400, Money Bags - 0
After Luca saves you finally get to practice some more moves on some
thugs.  Go through the training and talk to Luca.  He tells you the Don wants
to meet you and help you out.
Luca then meets you on the street and tells you to get to the safehouse
and sends an escort with you and shows you how to use the maps.  Follow the
blue X on the map to get to your destination.  Your guide will narrate some of
the sights along the way.  One of the sights is a cop that looks bribable.
Talk to him and you will get a pop-up about your respect level.  You've earned
your first skill point upgrade.  Take your pick and move on.
You will also come across a car that has just been rigged with a car bomb.
Stay away from it.  When you start to get close you will be able to take some
shortcuts through some allies.  When you get there you will learn that
safehouses give you a chance to replenish your weapons, health and save your
game.  After you save the phone will ring and you will then need to meet Luca
outside.
The Enforcer - Little Italy, (TEF)
Money - $1,000, Respect - 750, Money Bags - 0
Luca asks you to walk with him.  Learn about the family and his work.  He
gives you your first job.  Extort Emilio and make sure he pays tribute to the
Corleones.  Walk into the butcher shop to learn about pressure and extort the
butcher.  Talk to him first and he will refuse.  Try destroying some of his
stuff until he caves (Z-target and swing).
Once the butcher has been extorted the back door will open.  Many
businesses are just fronts for illegal rackets.  Take them over too. In this
case the racket is gambling.  Talk to the owner.  Sometimes you can buy them
out, sometimes you will have to work on them the same way you work on a
business owner.
When you leave you will have to bribe the police sergeant before you
leave.  On the left side of your map is a green bar.  The higher the bar, the
more support form police you have in the area.  Talk to Luca again and he tells
you to meet Paulie Gatto.
A Grave Situation - Little Italy, (AGS)
Money - $1,500, Respect - 2,500, Money Bags - 1 $2,000
Before you get to the club another Corleone will talk to you about the
businesses in the area and give you the ongoing objective to extort and take
over businesses.  This will be your main money maker for a while also.
Paulie and Monk tell you the undertaker's daughter got beat up by some
punks and you?re going to return the favor.  Follow them and beat the college
kids up.  After you beat up the first kid when you go into the graveyard before
you beat the second one, head to the back near the large crypt.  $Near the
gravestones you will find a money bag with $2,000.$  Finish the job and call it
a day.
Sleeping With the Fishes - Midtown (SWF)
Money - $2,000, Respect - 3,500, Money Bags - 1 $2,500
Paulie tells you to meet Luca at the Bowery and you probably have another
skill upgrade.  If you're tired of walking upgrade The Law under Operator and
you can take parked cars and drive instead.
When you meet Luca he will tell you how to use guns (see controls if you
need more help).  $When you are shooting the first dummy, shoot him in the
shoulder and then his left leg.  He should fall and break the box next to him.
Look closely for the green glow of a money bag.$
Luca then tells you you?re going to drive him to Midtown.  He has a
mission for the Don.  You?ve got 4 minutes.  Follow Bowery Street (the one
you?re on) and then make a right onto 4th.  Follow the blue X on your map until
you get there.
Luca tells you to watch from the alley and what you see is not a pretty
sight.  Luca is murdered and you are spotted.  Your job is to kill Luca's
assassin.  There is one guy in the alley behind you but you really need to get
inside the restaurant.  Once he is dead you need to get to the safehouse.  Take
the same path you came on and follow the blue X.  Cops will chase you for part
of the way but they're not that hard to outrun.  When you get to the safehouse
you call Monk and he tells you to meet him later.
At this point your objective is to extort some more businesses.  There is
a Stracci newspaper joint and a Tattaglia barber shop nearby that make easy
targets right now.  I have developed an interesting strategy for taking down
businesses.  Get a car and run over any family members guarding outside the
business.  It is easier than fighting them and safer because as long as you are
in a car you take no damage.  Once they are dead head inside and extort.  Don't
forget to take over any rackets that become available via the back door.  After
a few of these you will get a message to check phones for messages.  They are
pretty much in every building so find one and Monk will tell you to meet him at
the barber shop now.
The Don is Dead - Little Italy (TDD)
Money - $2,000, Respect - 4,000, Money Bags ? 1 $3,000
You storm into the barber shop only to be told Monk is outside.  Watch a
cut scene in which Monk meets his sister but at the same time the Tattaglia's
are skulking around.  Sure enough in a blaze of gunfire the Don and Monk are
hit and you have to protect Frankie (Monk's sister).  Take out the Tattaglia's
on the street and turn right.  One of them is holding Frankie hostage.  Enter
free aim mode and hit the guy, but obviously not Frankie.
After this you need to follow the ambulance to get the Don to the
hospital.  Tattaglias will be shooting from you at the street and chasing you
in cars so this is a tough one.  Plus if you get too far behind the ambulance
you fail also.  About halfway there, when you turn onto the Brooklyn Bridge you
will see a cut scene with a crash and now you have to interrogate one of the
Tattaglias.  You can kill the rest.  He will tell you that Sollozzo has Tom
Hagen in a diner in Brooklyn but you still have to get the Don to the hospital.
$Before you leave this scene shoot up the cream colored car near the ambulance.
The hidden money bag is under it$.  Jump in the ambulance and drive toward the
blue X.
You will see another cut scene and Clemenza will tell you to go home.
Your job is done for now.  For now your objective is to extort some more
businesses.  You might want to bribe some cops while you?re at it.  After a few
more you should get another message to check the phones.  This message tells
you to meet Clemenza in Brooklyn.
Tom is Still Missing - Brooklyn (TSM)
Money - $2,500, Respect - 4,500, Money Bags 1 - $4,000
But the Corleones think they know where he is.  Take Clemenza and Rocco to
the diner and sneak around.  Choke the guard and sneak to the back choking any
other guards you meet along the way.  When you get there you will see another
cut scene in which Sollozzo learns the Don is still alive and decides to off
Hagen instead.  You've got to rescue him.
$After the cut scene crawl through the hole in the fence.  You should see
some boxes in front of you.  Break them for the money bag$.  You can use
firepower now and make your way to where they are holding Tom.  When you get
there enter free-aim mode and carefully shoot Tom's kidnapper, avoiding Tom of
course.  A head shot works nicely because it kills in one hit.
After Tom is freed he learns of Luca's fate and then Clemenza asks you to
drive them back to the Corleone compound in Little Italy.  Along the way
Clemenza discusses bringing you into the family and Hagen tells you that
Sollozzo's business is drugs.  More pieces of the puzzle.  At the compound
Hagen will give you your first promotion to Enforcer (Money - $7,500, Respect
5,000)
7. Making Your Way - Enforcer (MYW)
Talk to some of the Corleones in the compound and you will find that
Clemenza wants to meet you in Little Italy.  Tessio will also offer you your
first contract hit.  These will appear as yellow on your map now.  Before you
leave there is a basement where you can restock your ammo.
You have the option of taking out some more businesses or the contract hit
before you meet Clemenza also.  If you wander around Brooklyn long enough you
will also notice some purple dots on your map.  These are people that need
favors.
Intensive Care - Little Italy (INC)
Money - $5,000, Respect - 6,000, Money Bags - 1 $2,000
When you meet Clemenza he tells you to go to the hospital where the Don
is.  He doesn't trust the cops guarding the place.  When you get there you'll
see a cut scene of the Corleone compound and then of you and Frankie.  The
guard takes your weapons and tells you Monk is on the second floor.  Go see
him.  When you talk to Frankie you hear a noise and you now have to kill the
assassin sent to kill the Don.  After you and Frankie run into Michael
Corleone.  He tells you to clear the hospital and find Tom Hagen while he takes
care of his father.
You now have your gun so head to the basement and take out the Tattaglias
down there.  When you get to the end Frankie takes the ambulance to go get Tom
and tells you to help Michael.  There will be a few more Tattaglias before you
meet him.  $Also, before you talk to Michael, go up the stairs to the Don's
room.  The money bag is in here$.  When you talk to Michael he tells you to
cover the front but when you go out you see a cut scene where the cops grab
Michael.  Tom Hagen comes just in time to save you two.   Talk to some
Corleones and you will find Clemenza is looking for you again.  Extort
businesses, favors, etc. along the way until you are ready to meet him.

Clemenza tells you Rosa is having a party and you should stop by.  Talk to
some more Corelones in the area for more info.  When you get to the 'flower
shop' Rosa tells you the party is upstairs.  Head up there and talk to Monk,
Paule and Sonny in the other room.  They tell you to get lost but when you
leave you get a cut scene of the cops breaking up the party and taking Rosa
away.  You have to get past them now.  Walk past the one upstairs and bribe the
one downstairs.
You have to sneak past the police in the alley to the left now.  Equip the
garrote and strangle as you go.  When you strangle the last one the door to the
right will be unlocked.  You can use your gun to take out the cops now and head
up to where Rosa is.  She is fine and she suggests whacking the sergeant.  Take
the elevator upstairs and avoid the sergeant for now.  $Break open the boxes in
the area for the money bags$.  When you get to him grab him and push him to the
edge and throw him off the roof to make it look like an accident.
Afterward, Rosa tells you to get back to the compound.  You can take on
any business or side quests along the way.  When you get back to the compound
you will see a cut scene where Hagen and Sonny are arguing.  Hagen wants to
negotiate with the other families, Sonny wants war.  Either way is good for you
because you have just earned your next promotion to Associate (Money $7,500,
Respect 10,000)
8. Mr. Big Shot - Associate (MBS)
With this promotion you get a new perk.  You can now call in a hit squad.
When the lion shield in the left corner is flaming press down on the control
pad to call them in.  They cost money but sometimes are worth it.  You will
also learn about a new objective - taking down warehouses.  They are key to
controlling the area.
You need to meet Clemenza at his house in Brooklyn again.  They think they
have a lead on who has betrayed the family.  Take any business or side quest
along the way.  You might even want to try your new squad and take down a
warehouse when you get to Brooklyn.
Death to the Traitor - Brooklyn (DTT)
Money - $10,000, Respect - 17,000, Money Bags - 10 $10,000
Sonny thinks Paulie set up the hit on the Don.  So you and Clemenza take
him for a ride.  You make small talk on the way and Clemenza tells Paulie to
stop at a Corleone restaurant.  While he?s in there he tells you Paulie's going
down but you need to pick up some weapons first.  At the nest place you stop go
upstairs and get the dynamite.  You will then hear someone crying for help.
Back downstairs some Tattaglias are harassing the baker.  Take care of them and
then talk to the baker.
Outside talk to Clemenza.  He tells you he wants you to plant the dynamite
upstairs behind the bar and then to get out.  $For the bonus in this mission
after you plant the bomb, go through the door to the left of the stairs.  A
Tattaglia will come out but just ignore him.  There are 10 money bags.  This
little side trip costs you time and you only have 15 seconds to get out, but it
is possible.$  Follow him to the Tattaglia bar and go upstairs taking out any
Tattaglias on the way.  When you get to the second floor plant the bomb and
run.  There might be another Tattaglia but just ignore him as time on the bomb
is ticking.
You drive off and Clemenza tells Paulie to pull over.  When he gets out he
gives you the sign.  You must chase Paulie into the storage area (stuff will
explode as you go).  Once you trap him, kill him.  The cops will come and now
you have to outrun the cops and get to the Corleone safehouse nearby.  When you
get there Clemenza lets you have the apartment, since Paulie's dead and
everything.  The Corleones tell you to lay low for a while so this is a good
chance to take out some more businesses.
Special Delivery - Midtown (SPD)
Money - $10,000, Respect - 10,000, Money Bags - 1 $14,500
Soon you will get another phone call and a new objective to buy a time
bomb from a dealer in Midtown, so head there.  Once you buy the bomb you will
need to meet Clemenza outside a warehouse in Midtown.  He tells you to get
inside the warehouse you need to hijack a truck.  Hunt one down and ram it or
cut it off until the driver gets out.  Interrogate him to get the keys.  Take
the truck to where Clemenza gathered the crew in Midtown and drive back to the
warehouse.
The Tattaglias let you in and Clemenza tells you to plant bombs in 3 of
the buildings.  Focus on that and let the crew fight the Tattaglias outside.
From where you start go up the stairs to the left and make a right.  Go inside
and take out the people inside and go down the stairs.  You should see a blue
shield under the stairs.  This is where you need to plant the bomb but before
you do, make sure you know your exit path - back up the stairs and out of the
building before the bomb goes off.
Go back to the truck and get another bomb.  Go up the same stairs before
but this time go right into another building.  $At the top of these stairs are
some breakable crates.  Break them for the bonus money bags.$  Same procedure
as before.  Take out the bad guys, plant the bomb downstairs and get out.
Get your last bomb and this time go through the doors straight ahead and
up the stairs.  Plant the bomb and head back downstairs.  Talk to Clemenza and
he gives you a new objective to bomb Sollozzo's drug warehouses (which now
appear on your map as skull & crossbones) and tells you to go meet up with Monk
in a club in Midtown.  He tells you to meet Hagen back at the compound but he
wants to talk to you first.  Go back to the bar and Monk asks you about you and
Frankie.  She's been asking about you.  Before you leave there is a guy that
will offer you a hit contract.
Horseplay - Hollywood (HOR)
Money - $15,000, Respect - 12, 500, Money Bags - 1 $20,000
Back at the compound Hagen tells you he wants you to go to Hollywood with
him to 'negotiate' with Jack Woltz.  Negotiations don't go well so you and
Rocco go on a mission.  Quietly follow him to Woltz's stables.  Rocco tells you
to stand guard.  A guard will come so quietly choke him.  Rocco emerges with a
'package'.  I've never seen the movies, but even I know what's going on here.
You now have to follow Rocco through the house to Woltz's bedroom and
deliver the package.  This was one of the more troublesome missions for me, so
here's how I finally got through.
You have to lead the way for Rocco.  To the right, up the ramp, are two
guards but you only need to take the closest one out.  A garrote works well if
you've unlocked that skill.  Go left into the house and you are warned not to
kill innocents.  Wait for the butler to pass and go into the hallway and to the
right will be another guard and another at the top of the stairs.  This is
where I kept getting caught.  Wall cover at the doorway and wait for the maid
to pass.  Go inside the next area and wait for a dialog about windows between
the maid the next guard you need to kill (you'll know when it happens).  Your
goal is at the end of this hallway.  $Before you go down the hall, look to your
right.  You'll see another small hallway with two doorways.  Go through the one
closest to you (you'll see a guard).  Don't kill him.  Just crouch and walk
very carefully to the left and grab the money bag.$  When you get to the end of
the hall, wait for Rocco to deliver the package and watch the very disturbing
cut scene that follows.
You end up back in Midtown with a new objective to meet Hagen again.  He's
in a hotel nearby.  He gives you another safehouse for you and Frankie and
tells you to meet him at the compound when you are done.  Head inside and talk
to Frankie.  Check out your new place and take a minute to save while you?re
here.  In the lobby you can listen to some conversation about Sonny's plan to
take down Sollozzo and learn more about taking down warehouses.  Take care of
any business you need to and head back to the compound.
A Recipe For Revenge - Midtown (ARR)
Money - $20,000, Respect - 15,000, Money Bags - 5 $5,000
Sonny sets up a hit on Sollozzo that Michael Corleone is to carry out.
You are given the task of hiding a gun behind a toilet for Michael.  You're
timed because you need to plant it before Michael and Sollozzo get there for
their meeting.  It's way in Midtown so shoot up Broadway or Fourth to get there
fast.
You should get there with a couple of minutes to spare.  Sneak around the
back like Clemenza said.  Remember to take out the guards quietly...fists or
the garrote.  When you get to the back door you'll have to rough up the guy
before he'll let you in.  When you get in you can ignore the baker and sneak
past the next guard.  Go down the hall to the right and plant the gun in the
bathroom.
You will now see a cut scene with Michael and Solozzo.  Michael gets the
gun and you can guess what happens next.
You've got to shoot your way out of the restaurant and down the street to
Michael's car.  $But before you go, in the back of the restaurant is a door
that leads upstairs to the hidden money bags.$  Now you've got to get Michael
to the docks in Hell's Kitchen, quite a drive, and yes you will be chased.
Take 34th and then go up Broadway and west on 42nd until you can go north again
and pray your car holds up.
When you get there you see a cut scene of Michael getting on a ship to
Sicily until the chaos calms down.  He tells you Sonny will help you until he
gets back.  You are told that the Don is out of the hospital and wants to see
you and promote you to Soldier (Money - $25,000, Respect - 15,000)
9. Call In the Troops - Soldier (CIT)
Don Vito Corleone himself makes you a soldier.  Talk to him again and he
gives a short speech about people who need to be killed.  Listen to some
conversation and you will learn that Monk is half-Irish and he can never become
a soldier like you.  Talk to Clemenza again and he gives you a hit contract.
Talk to some more Corleones and you will find that Frankie is looking for you
at your Midtown apartment.
Now It's Personal - Brooklyn (NIP)
Money - $30,000, Respect - 17,500, Money Bags - 3 $5,000
Of course you've been followed to the apartment and now you have to
protect Frankie.  The Tattaglias get her anyway and once you interrogate the
Capo you find they've taken her to the old church.  Call Monk and go pick him
up.  He's pretty upset but he goes with you to the church.  You've got to get
all the way to Brooklyn and it'll be no Sunday drive.  You'll be chased again.
$When you get there go to the graveyard on the right first.  Inside the
mausoleum is the hidden money bags.$  Follow Monk through the crypt into the
church.  Take out the Tattaglias all the while listening to Frankie scream.
When you get to the door you see a cut scene where you just get to see
Frankie's last moments and Monk flip out.  When you leave a Corleone tells you
that Sonny wants to see you when you're ready.
The Silent Witness ' Midtown (TSW)
Money - $35,000, Respect - 20,000, Money Bags - 1 7,500
Meet Sonny in an alley in Hell's Kitchen.  Interrogate the Tattaglia Capo
and when he won't talk, Sonny deals with him.  Sonny knows Bruno will be at the
Capo's funeral so now you've got to get to the funeral parlor in Midtown.
$After you park, turn around and cross the street and head right.  Ignore
the warning, you're not going very far.  You?re looking for a little alcove
with a barrel of fire.  Look behind it for the money bag.$  When you get to the
funeral parlor you can get in through the side, but of course there will be
Tattaglias to deal with.  When they are all dead (inside and out) the elevator
will be unlocked.  Bruno will attack you as soon as you get out and there will
be more Tattaglias.  Shoot them, but remember you have to throw Bruno into the
oven so disarm, grab and throw.
If you talk to the sergeant outside he will give you another hit contract.
You could take care of this while you wait for a phone call telling you to meet
Sonny at the compound again.   He tells you he's worried about the Tattaglias.
He tells you to meet him in Midtown.
Sonny's War - Midtown (SNW)
Money - $40,000, Respect - 30,000, Money Bags - 10 $10,000
With Michael still in Sicily Sonny is running the family.  He doesn't want
to negotiate with the other families like Tom suggests.  Talk to him and learn
he wants to hit a Cunio bar in Hell's Kitchen, so drive him there. You've got 2
minutes so just go up 42nd and listen to Sonny tell you about the business.
When you get to the bar go in and shoot the two Cunios at the top of the
stairs.  Then go through the door to the left.  Shoot your way through the
basement and interrogate the guy at the end.  You'll see a cut scene of the
racket boss escaping.  Get to the car with Sonny and follow him.  You'll be
chased and he drives fast, so this one might be tough.  If you can keep up with
him you'll catch up in the train yards.  Shoot your way inside the building and
interrogate the boss upstairs.  Watch another cut scene of Sonny interrogating
him.
$Before you leave if you go down the hallway and use the elevator you can
find some money bags.$
Meet Sonny outside at the car and you've got 3 minutes to get to the Cunio
warehouse.  Go north out of the train yard and straight up to the docks (where
you dropped off Michael earlier).  Your job now is to take over the warehouse.
You might want to call in a crew if you can before you go in.  Shoot your way
through the docks and then to the side and inside the warehouse.  Shoot your
way through there and find the racket boss and interrogate him to take over the
warehouse.  In the process you will probably start a Cunio mob war, but don't
worry about that right now.
When you leave talk to the Corleones and you will find Sonny wants to meet
you back at the compound.  You'll also get another hit contract if you want.
Back to that mob war.  There are two ways to end it: bomb a Cunio business or
bribe an FBI agent.  I find bribery easier so look on your map for a symbol
