Introduction

Welcome to the Mafia The Old Country Trophy Guide (aka Mafia 4)! This game has a similar structure to Mafia 1 Remake, it has a linear story mode and an open world free roam mode. The story takes place in the open world but you are forced to stay within the bounds of story objectives. There are 14 chapters and a Prologue. The story takes around 10-12 hours to complete. There’s also a Free-Roam (Free Drive) mode, unlocked during Chapter 3 and accessed via the Carcyclopedia Menu in the Title Screen. This is where you’ll spend a few hours after the story to search for collectibles. Some collectibles are exclusive to story chapters but the majority is available in Free-Roam. They get marked on the map when going near them, except Hidden Foxes. All progress is shared between both modes. It’s best to focus on the story first to unlock all game features, afterward explore in Free-Roam for remaining collectibles. Nothing is missable thanks to Chapter Replay.

Step 1: Finish Story on Hard Difficulty + Chapter-Specific Trophies + Combat Trophies + Story Collectibles

Hard difficulty is available from the start. To save time it’s best to play on hard from the beginning. Hard difficulty in this game isn’t too challenging. If you’re near death you will automatically regain a healthbar after a few seconds, allowing you to take another hit. Resources are plentiful when looting enemies.

As you play through the story, get all of the Chapter-specific trophies. They are still obtainable via Chapter Replay.

Chapter-Specific Trophies:

• Chapter 3 –  Garden Rendezvous +  Salvatore’s Apprentice
• Chapter 5 –  Live by the Blade +  Fantasma +  Man of Honor
• Chapter 7 –  Full Steam Ahead +  Fastest Man in Sicily
• Chapter 9 –  The Old Ways
• Chapter 11 –  Trail of Destruction + can farm all weapon trophies during this chapter, enemies drop all weapon types here
• Chapter 13 –  Silent Hunter +  Not So Fast
• Chapter 14 –  Worthy Opponent

Also grab any collectibles you come across. The trophy relevant ones are 50 Hidden Foxes and the 3 types under the Collections Menu: 23 Photographs, 20 Saints’ Cards, 50 Newspapers. The Notes listed under the Journal Menu aren’t required. Some collectibles only spawn during specific chapters, most of which are on the main path in plain sight. Don’t worry if you miss one, everything can still be found after the story through Chapter Replay, and most items can also be found through Free-Roam mode.

Additionally, farm any of the combat trophies via checkpoint restart when you have the correct weapon. They are all dropped by enemies. An easy farming location is Chapter 11, enemies drop all types of weapons there.

Combat Trophies – can all be farmed during Chapter 11:

• Praecisione (1 ammo Sniper Rifle) – 20 kills
• Lupara (2 ammo sawed-off shotgun) – 20 kills
• Pump-Action Shotgun (5 ammo shotgun) – 20 kills
• Vendetti (powerful 4 ammo pistol) – 20 kills
• Modello C96 (quick 9 ammo pistol) – 20 kills
• Repeater (quick 7 ammo rifle) – 20 kills
• Grenades (Explosives) – 10 kills
• Knife Stealth Takedowns – 20 stealth kills
• Headshots – 30 kills

Step 2: Collectible Cleanup in Free-Roam

After the story, enter Free-Roam mode to clean up collectibles. The collectibles get marked on the map when you go near them. The ones that are story-exclusive will have a special yellow map icon. When you scroll over the icon they specify in what chapter they are found. This makes it easy to track down your missing ones. If you need to replay a Chapter, you can quit out as soon as you found the collectible, it saves instantly and carries over to Free-Roam. You can quickly jump between Chapters to go for only your missing collectibles and then quit out.

Free-Roam is accessed through Title Screen > Carcyclopedia > hold

*Chapter-Specific*

Chapter 5 – Vendetta D’onore

During main objective “Infiltrate Ludovici’s Villa”, you have to enter the villa without alerting any guards. The trophy will pop after interacting with the white door inside the villa that starts the cutscene with Ludovici. Knocking out enemies from behind is allowed and doesn’t count as them “seeing” you. If you get spotted simply restart the checkpoint.

Here’s the easiest path:

1. You will start outside the villa grounds. To the left of the main gate is a smaller side gate, approach it and the guard will walk away. Pry open the gate with a knife (must be sharpened). Knock out the guard from behind or simply walk past him.
2. Take the left path uphill where 2 guards are talking. Toss a coin to their right to distact them, then quickly go up the path to their left and up the ladder into a building.
3. Go through the wooden door in the back of this building. Ignore the two guards who are talking at the car.
4. You will reach the staircase leading up to the villa. There are two guards talking in front of the stairs. Grab a bottle from the left and throw it on the ground in front of them to distract them (or toss a coin), then quickly sneak up the stairs behind them.
5. There’s one guard at the top of the stairs, press

   *Chapter-Specific*

   Chapter 13 – Capiregime

   During main objective “Kill Mazzone”, you will be in the woods at an enemy camp. You must sneak past the guards, reach and kill Mazzone without alerting anyone. If you get spotted restart the checkpoint.

   Easiest path:

   1. Take down the first guard from behind. To his right go down the path to the stream, climb up the wall when patrolling guard on top is walking to the left. Sneak away to the right side (no need to defeat any other guards in this area).
   2. You will reach 2 guards talking. Grab a bottle from the right and throw it to their far left. Quickly sneak up the stairs behind them.
   3. Next area only has 1 single enemy. Can sneak behind him to reach Mazzone.
   4. Wait until Mazzone has his back turned at you. Sneak up to him and press

      *Chapter-Specific*

      Chapter 11 – Mattanza

      During main objective “Defend the truck” you will be standing on the back of a truck and get chased by enemy cars. For the main objective you must shoot at the cars to destroy them. This is pretty much an unmissable story trophy. You only need to destroy 10 cars but there are more than that. Shoot their motor a few times until they catch fire, this will count as having “eliminated” them.

      *Chapter-Specific*

      Chapter 3 – Pizzu

      At the very start of Chapter 3, during main objective “Meet Luca at the Stables”, you will get an optional objective “Meet Isabella in the garden”. Follow the white marker to the garden. The trophy pops after a cutscene.

      *Chapter-Specific*

      Chapter 14 – La Merica

      After main objective “Get to Isabella” you will have a mandatory knife fight against Don Torrisi. During the knife fight you must defeat him without taking any damage. If you get hit you’re allowed to restart checkpoints and will still earn the trophy (there are two checkpoints during the fight). To keep it simple, use only stabs with

      *Chapter-Specific*

      Chapter 7 – Spirito Sportivo

      During main objective “Win the race”, you will drive a racecar in a 6-person sprint race. You must reach the finish line within 8:00 minutes. This is pretty much an automatic story trophy because to win the race for the story you’ll do it in under 8 minutes anyway. The time limit is very generous, it can be done in under 6:15 if using the shortcuts. There’s no need to drive perfectly. If you have a big crash you can restart the checkpoint. There are multiple checkpoints throughout the race so you don’t need to replay the entire race if you restart. If needed you can also replay this via chapter select.

      *Chapter-Specific*

      Chapter 13 – Capiregime

      Just after killing Mazzone you will ride the horse to main objective “Help Cesare”. As soon as you arrive the objective updates to “Kill Caccini”, you will see Caccini run away from you behind the enemies. Instead of going after him, ignore the enemies and go to the left of the area where 2 cars are parked. Destroy the left car that’s parked further back, that’s Caccini’s car. With it destroyed he can’t escape and will get stuck there. Now kill the enemies (or run past them) and Caccini will stand in front of his destroyed car, instead of him driving away. You can kill him here to pop the trophy.

      *Chapter-Specific*

      Chapter 7 – Spirito Sportivo

      During main objective “Race the train”, you must test-drive a racecar by chasing a train. You have to reach the finish line before the train. Hold down the acceleration the entire time without slowing down. If you crash, restart the checkpoint.

      The trophy description is a bit wrong/misleading for this.

      There are 3 TYPES of knives: Scannaturi, Rasolu, Stiletto. You only need to use each knife class special combat skill 5 times for ONE KNIFE of EACH CLASS. Stilettos don’t have a combat skill, so you only need 2 knives total: Scannaturi + Rasolu. At weapon boxes where you equip knives it shows the “Special Action” under “Durability” (NOT the Perks).

      Using the special skill consumes knife sharpness, so make sure you have sharpness slots remaining. It can be farmed via checkpoint restart. An easy spot is Chapter 5 – Objective: Infiltrate Ludovici’s Villa. Where you talk to Tino before infiltrating the villa, there’s a knife box that lets you change knife types. Use the knife special ability on 5 enemies, restart checkpoint, switch knife type and repeat. You can also buy all knife types at the weapons box there, can use the cheapest knives that cost 200 money.

      

      • Scannaturi: “Scannaturi Knives can be used to perform Knife Throw Takedowns” – Press 

        *Chapter-Specific*

        Chapter 5 – Vendetta D’onore

        During main objective “Execute Ludovici”, Tino will tell you to kill him. Instead of shooting Ludovici, intentionally miss the shot and Tino will execute you instead, which results in a game over and unlocks the trophy.

        Note: during the chase at Ludovici’s villa, you will get the task to get Ludovici alive, but you can’t do anything wrong here. For the main story objective you will always capture him alive and bring him to Tino (if Ludovici dies during the chase it results in a game over). So no matter how you played the chapter, you will always deliver Ludovici alive to Tino and can then do the trophy.

        *Chapter-Specific*

        Chapter 9 – Industria

        During main objective “Find a way into the foreman’s office” you will have to sneak through a factory. Reach the objective at the end without alerting any enemies. You can do stealth-takedowns and sneak past most enemies. If you get spotted, restart the checkpoint to retry.

        Easiest path:

        1. You start ouside the factory. Take the path to the right of the main gate, take down the enemy at the small gate, then pry open the gate with your knife.
        2. Take down the two enemies on the right side. Then enter the factory from the right.
        3. Inside the factory wait for the 2 guards to finish talking. Then one walks away. Take down the one who remains standing in the same spot.
        4. Go halfway through this room and take the left exit (ignore the 2 guards standing at the end).
        5. The left exit leads back outside, take out the 2 guards there. Then you can enter the path in the middle. Take out the patrolling guard.
        6. Enter the next room. Wait for the guards to finish talking and wait for the third guard to stop looking in your direction. Take down the 3 guards in this room one by one while they have their backs turned to you.
        7. Go up the stairs at the end and open the door to the foreman’s office. Trophy unlocked!

        *MISSABLE* – If you collect all notes containing safe combinations they will stay in your inventory even when replaying chapters. The game treats this as already knowing the combination and then it won’t unlock via Chapter Replay.

        This is best done in Chapter 3, at the Citrus Farm during main objective “Collect the money”. Here the story makes you open a safe for the first time. Normally, you’d get the safe code by collecting the notes in the same room where the safe is. However, for this trophy DON’T collect the text notes and enter the combination directly, it is: 10-20-30 for this safe.

        It’s always the same combination. When you open the safe without having read the note that contains the combination, you’ll earn the trophy. It doesn’t seem to unlock through chapter replay in this section if you already collected the note previously. If you already opened this safe, there are many other safes throughout the game. You can make a PS+ backup when reaching a safe, then read the notes to get the code, redownload your PS+ backup (thus removing the note) and open the safe directly.

        Below is a list of safe locations and codes:

        • Chapter 3 – Objective: Enter the Citrus Farm – story-related safe: 10-20-30
        • Chapter 3 – Objective: Reach the impound yard – in the stealth section: 21-10-08
        • Chapter 6 – Objective: Find the printing plates – 3 safe codes: 00-01-02 / 28-34-12 / 02-19-62

        Shoot the motor of one of your cars until it catches fire. Then use the crank at the front of the car to kickstart the motor again. This is best done in free drive mode (free roam), which unlocks during story chapter 3. Then you can go to Title Screen > Carcyclopedia > hold

        This is best done in free-roam mode. Get a fast car, for example the Carozella Mark 2 racecar (unlocked for free from Chapter 7). Then go to the location shown in the video above and jump off the ramp at high speed. Can fast travel to Pasquale’s Gas Station to get the car at the garage, then in front of the garage drive onto the train tracks and to the right, jump off the first ramp a couple hundred meters down the train track.

        This is best done in free-roam but can also be earned during the story.

        First you’ll need to unlock a fast enough car that reaches top speeds over 120 km/h. During Chapter 7 you automatically unlock the “Carozella Mark 2” car for free, it reaches 162 km/h.

        Now go into free roam mode and drive on a long straight road, maintain high speed for 15+ seconds to pop the trophy. For example, from Porto Almaro fast travel point take the road leading northeast.

        

        Alternatively, you can also earn it during the Chapter 7 race event. Shortly after the start of the race, after exiting the town, there’s a long relatively straight stretch of road, if you drive perfectly without crashing or breaking you can earn the trophy there.
