*Minor Spoiler for Mafia: The Old Country Below During the Vendetta D’onore, the sixth chapter of Mafia: The Old Country, though the fifth numbered chapter, Enzo is tasked with breaking into the Ludovichi estate to kidnap the man alive for his part in an attempted kidnapping that took part the chapter before. Enzo is given a pistol and a rifle pair at the start of the chapter, which you might be tempted to use at the first chance you get, but breaking into the man’s mansion requires a delicate hand, and if you can manage the feat of reaching Ludovich…

*Spoilers For Mafia: The Old Country Below. We return to Enzo at the villa, presumably shortly after the altercation that occurred in San Celeste at the end of the previous chapter. Isabella has slipped a note under his door telling him to meet her in the garden, but as it turns out, Luca has also been looking for Enzo for something. For the first time in the game, two waypoints are placed on the map, one in white indicating optional, while the other in yellow depicting it as the main mission. Since Isabella is the white option, we might as…

*Spoilers for Mafia: The Old Country Contained Below The first thing players will notice in this chapter of Mafia: The Old Country is the time skip, as showcased by Enzo sporting an actual head of hair.

The chapter begins with Enzo yet again loading up a shipment, but this time getting to ride along with it, escorting it…

*Spoilers for Mafia: The Old Country below After the opening credits roll for Mafia: The Old Country, we take control of Enzo on the upper floor of a barn, just trying to get some sleep after his daring escape at the end of the Prologue. Here, Il Merlo and his goons from the mines have tracked him down, waking him up in the process and forcing Enzo to make another escape, lest he be killed, given that what he did during his escape is probably not something he can come back from. The Barn You begin the level on the…

*Spoilers for Mafia: The Old Country Below. In Mafia: The Old Country, we are first introduced to Enzo deep in the heart of the sulfur mines of Sciliy in 1904. The Prologue is entitled Tremori, which translates into English as Tremors, so that should give you an understanding of what is going to happen here. In fact, in the opening moments of the game, the two men, Enzo and his friend Gaetano, set off to recover something they had hidden, noting the risk of taking it topside and out of the mine, but fearing the tremors would make it lost…
