To sneak around enemies to infiltrate a place will be a regular job for Enzo in Mafia: the old countryso don't forget to use Instinct feature.

Keep in mind that Enzo may need to look around to find all enemies, and those who are too far away may not be discovered or take longer to register in Enzos instinct.

The basics of stealth

Or risk a gun struggle

Other than instincts, there are other remarkable things that players need to think about when playing stealth mode:

  • When two people talk, wait until they are done talking, because one of them can go away and leave Enzo with just one person to handle.

  • If they do not move, players may try to find alternative routes, as the route inside is not always limited to just one input.

  • Use items such as bottles, lamps or coins to throw. This is coming distract The enemy, who lets players sneak behind them.

  • When Enzo is sneaking behind a person he can either strangle or performing one stealth death on them. Both come down the enemy, but Strangling takes more time than a knife death, which means that there is more room to get stuck by a guarding enemy. However, keep in mind that a stealth death will come consume the sustainability of the knifeSo there are fewer opportunities for Enzo to use their knife.

  • After an enemy has been dropped, Hide it from sighteither put them down in a secluded place or hide them inside a hidewhich is a blue box. If a fallen enemy is found by another person, they will notice that something is wrong and actively seeking the infiltrator.

Don't forget your charm

May saints be with you

When they explore the world, players may encounter some saint statues. Getting these gives Enzo a charm that has different effects. To equip a charm, go to the menu and then go to the Charms tab. There are two types of charm to use: medallions and Pearls. Enzo can only carry A medallionAnd up to Four beads. To unlock more pearl seats, go to Pasquale's shop and spend Dinari to open them.

Medallions have effects such as granting a period of inviolability when they are close to death, giving Enzo the chance to en-a-enemy, give the chance to avoid a bullet, and so on. At the same time, pearls have less effects, but can still help. For example, it can increase the capacity of ammunition, bandage capacity, reload or healing speed and so on.

Feel your resources

Even ammo is limited

In battle, Enzo will have limited resources, whether it is bandages, ammunition, bombs, Whetstone or coins. It's not just because Enzo has a limited capacityBut also because these resources are not plentiful in general. Therefore, players must know how to handle their resources, not end in narrow situations.

For example, Enzo can only wear two bandages (three with a certain charm), so when players have a maximum bandage and come across one, it is a good idea to heal before you pick it up. In this way, Enzo will enter the next part of the battle with full health and maximum bandages. Similarly, players should also remember to use bombs to scare the enemy, coins to distract them and break out to sharpen the knife and restore its durability.

Enzo should also use his surroundings properly, know where to hide and when to reload. For example, if players stand from their hiding place to shoot, they do not have to press the Crouch button after releasing the AIM button, as Enzo will hide immediately after aiming. Enzo can also perform a blind shot by shooting while hiding, although this has poor accuracy.

Play with the settings

Adjust to your preference

There are remarkable things that players can touch with the settings. For example, the game has three difficulties, and if the battle turns out to be too simple or too hard, players can change the difficulty to their taste. Other gaming functions, such as driving, can also be adapted. Those who enjoy more realistic driving can turn off a gear -changing mechanic and turn off drive aid, while players who prefer to get to the point can turn them off and enable the unit jump mode to automatically travel in the main mission.

There are also things worth noting in the accessibility option, such as turning off struggle Function for players who cannot or does not want Mash buttons every time Enzo performs a physical task, such as stifling or holding an enemy attack during knife duel.

Don't miss the free exploration

What to do after completing the story

For that, after completing the main mission, players can go to Chapter Then select from the main menu and then select Explore. This will open the game with Enzo who freely roams around the world, giving players the freedom to gather what they missed and visit places they did not during the main mission.

Trinacria is a good source for Dinari

Dinari is money

When you first visit Pasquale's store, players can learn about TrinacriaA symbol that is said to be a valuable article. Players can find this item all over the world, and it is also marked in the places that players have visited.
