Contraband (contraband racket) | Walkthrough Mafia III Guide

On this page you will find walkthrough for the large story mission "Contraband" in which you take over the contraband racket in River Row and then give it to Vito. The final objective of this mission is to get rid of one of the lieutenants. The mission has optional objectives as well. All methods of weakening the enemy racket are presented further in the guide.

• Meeting with Connie Demarco
• Interrogating Roy's bodyguard
• Destroying or stealing the truck with medicine
• Robbing Roy's warehouse
• Murdering Roy's enforcers
• Initiating a confrontation with Roy

Meeting with Connie Demarco

Speak to Demarco in order to learn how to weaken the contraband racket

You can go meet with Demarco immediately after saving Vito. He can be found in the small hut in the southern part of the district. Speak to him about the potential occasions to weaken the contraband racket currently managed by Roy Thibideaux.

Interrogating Roy's bodyguard

The person you seek is in the restaurant in the central part of the district. You can trigger the interrogation by using the same methods as in case of mission objectives related to the informants. Try luring the bodyguard away with whistling (you can even do it from the entrance to the building), then catch him and ask the questions.

Destroying or stealing the truck with medicine

You can destroy the truck for example with grenades

You will be able to complete this mission objective after you interrogate Roy's bodyguard. Once you reach the warehouse, find the small entrance. You can complete this objective easier if you decide to destroy the truck. In that case you can ignore the nearby gangsters, get close to the vehicle and, for example, throw grenades at it. Once it is done, quickly leave the area.

If you have stolen the truck, drive it to the church

If you plan to steal the truck, you should first eliminate all the gangsters in the warehouse - or at least the ones close to the truck. Watch out for the enemies that can see you from the upper balconies. Once you enter the truck, break through the gate and start driving to Father James' church. There you can give him the medicine supplies. No gangsters should attack you on your way there, but watch out that you don't destroy or crash the truck. Park it in the red circle (it must change its color to blue).

Important - While exploring this and the next warehouse, you can find destructible objects. These actions are optional, but each one will weaken the contraband racket by 1000 dollars.

Robbing Roy's warehouse

Once you reach Colonel Shipping warehouse, you can start sneaking up or fight the enemies directly. If you selected the former, you should sneak up on the upper balconies. You must steal the money that is lying on the table where the gangsters are playing cards. You can take advantage of that and throw a Molotov's cocktail or a grenade at them (an example situation like that is shown on the above picture). This will allow you to get rid of all of them at once. Once the fights are over, take the cash. You will weaken the enemy racket by 7500 dollars.

Murdering Roy's enforcers

You can murder two enforcers. Fabio "Fab" Fulci is located in the sewers which makes finding him a bit troublesome. Find one of the sewer entrances near the marker that shows the location of the enforcer (as shown on the above picture). Once you get close to him, you can kill him from distance or eliminate all of his friends and then perform a direct takedown.

Nestor Pellegrini is in one of the warehouse at the water in the southern part of the district. You can easily sneak up on him and shoot him from close distance or perform a silent takedown on him.

Initiating a confrontation with Roy

You can find Roy on the first floor of the warehouse. He is surrounded by guards

Once you weaken the contraband racket enough (actions related to Roy are marked with yellow points on the map), go back to Connie. He will point you to the warehouse which you might have visited during one of the optional objectives. Roy is on the first floor of that warehouse. While getting to him, watch yourself as you can be easily noticed at the upper balconies and be forced to deal with reinforcements. You can defeat the boss in direct fight or sneak up on him by isolating him from his allies with whistling. Kill or recruit Roy.
