Chapter 14 - Stairway to Heaven - p. 3 Mafia II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

MEETING WITH JOE:

Drive to Joe's place (doesn't matter which car you'll use) #1. Park the car near the building and head over to his apartment #2. Knock on the door to realize that Joe is not home.

FINDING JOE:

You'll have to visit two areas and meet some of the people you know to ask around about Joe. Start off by driving to the Maltese Falcon restaurant #1 to talk to Eddie. The next step is Giuseppe's gun store #2. In this case you'll have to park in front of the entrance and head up to the first floor to talk to Giuseppe.

You'll find that Joe has been taken by some men. Leave the building and drive to the restaurant mentioned by Giuseppe and seen on your radar. Park in front of the restaurant #1 and head inside #2 to initiate a much longer cut-scene. Vito will also be captured and he'll join Joe.

ESCAPING FROM THE BUILDING:

Wait until Vito and Joe manage to free themselves and start off by taking a pistol from one of the dead gangsters #1. There are three more enemies on this floor and you can get rid of all of them quietly. I would recommend choosing this method, especially since you'll see some nice animations. The first gangster is standing to your left. Notice that you will have to press the Q key #2, because Vito will push him instead of grabbing him.

The next opponent is on the opposite end of this floor #1 and in this case you'll have to start choking him. Be careful, because he may start patrolling the area if you take too long #2 and this will force you to follow him carefully.

The last third opponent is standing to your right, next to a staircase. You'll also have a chance to push him by pressing the Q key #1. Once he's gone explore this entire floor to locate a new Playboy magazine #2.

You may go to the stairs #1. There's nothing interesting on the top floor, so you should start moving towards a lower floor. You don't have to act stealthy anymore, so draw your gun and surprise enemies from the first group #2.

Your objective will be to secure this entire floor and you SHOULDN'T be in a lot of hurry. There are three passageways leading to the next staircase - the central one #1 and two smaller ones on both sides. Pay more attention to side passageways #2, because enemies will be using them to surprise you. Monitor their movement on your radar and respond accordingly.

Watch out for a bigger group stationed near the next staircase #1. A lot of opponents here will be using better weapons, so you'll always have to rely on good cover. Don't forget to check their bodies after the battle, because you may find something interesting. Make sure it's safe here and proceed towards a second staircase #2.
