In Chapter 9 of Mafia: The Old Country, Enzo’s evolving relationship with the Torisi family leads him into a dubious mission: locating and bringing back an associate named Lorenzetti, who is currently employed at Baron Fontalella’s factory. This assignment is fraught with challenges, as the factory is under tight security from the Spadaro family, making stealth a necessity.
To overcome these obstacles, I’ve crafted an informative guide designed to help you navigate the factory discreetly, ensuring you remain undetected by Spadaro’s guards while also revealing how to secure a special trophy/achievement tied to this mission.
Essential Gear Preparation
Before embarking on your journey to Collezolfo, it’s crucial to arm yourself adequately for the challenges that lie ahead. Trust me; things are bound to escalate once you penetrate the factory’s defenses.
Consider equipping a Scannaturi or a Stiletto knife. The Scannaturi type, particularly the Agghiri, excels as a throwing knife. Meanwhile, the Stiletto’s superior durability makes it an excellent choice for stealth takedowns, preventing the frantic button-mashing that can occur during intense encounters.
Regarding firearms, select weapons suited to close-quarter combat as you progress through the factory. The Lupara serves well as a sidearm, while your primary choice can be between a shotgun or a rifle, tailored to your playstyle.
Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step walkthrough for the factory infiltration!
Factory Infiltration Steps
Navigating the Outer Courtyard
You have two entry options in this section, identified in the image above: the left route featuring a ladder and the right leading into a courtyard. Based on my experience, the left path is the most efficient.
Ascend the ladder and crouch upon entering to avoid detection by patrolling enemies below. Position yourself behind a pillar, waiting for the two Spadaro Mafioso to conclude their conversation before executing a stealth takedown on the one to your right.
Proceed to eliminate the accomplice to your left. Next, move cautiously behind the log pile to evade another enemy stationed against a barricade. Proceed with a stealth takedown here, and you’ll be set to access the factory’s interior.
Inside the Factory
Upon entering the factory, take cover behind stacked crates and observe the two gangsters until they finish chatting. Then, jump over and quickly subdue the one leaning against the crates.
Next, move to the right and eliminate another enemy at the workbench. Don’t forget to use your knife to pry open any locked boxes for additional Dinari!
For the subsequent move, pay attention to the patrolling mafioso in the center along with his larger companion. Head to the lockers on the top right. Wait for the patroller to shift right before tossing a coin near the machinery to distract him for an effective takedown. Execute this carefully to ensure the brute guard remains unaware.
Locate the Pragmatico Charm on a nearby table—it enhances accuracy during blind firing or shooting from the hip.
Repeat this tactic with the brute; toss a coin to create a diversion and swiftly approach for a stealth takedown.
Advancing to the Second Interior
After dealing with the brute, bypass the enemies outside and enter through the doors. Immediately cover by the crates again and wait for the two mafiosos to finish their talk before neutralizing the one who’s standing.
Your final obstacle lies ahead—approach quietly and execute your takedown as soon as his back is turned to avoid detection.
As you ascend the stairs, make sure to collect the Brutale Charm resting on the bench—don’t overlook it as I did. This charm significantly boosts the damage of ranged weapons, making it invaluable, especially on Hard difficulty.
Upon reaching the office, if you’ve followed the instructions outlined here, you’ll unlock The Old Ways Achievement/Trophy for infiltrating the Foreman’s office without raising any alarms.
The aftermath of this endeavor becomes linear as you will face several enemies as you escape from the crumbling factory. Additionally, prepare for a knife duel boss fight at the conclusion, ensuring your readiness for that challenge.
