Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven help

[Quintus.JC]

Unsure if this is the appropriate place to ask, but being stuck on this particular level I was hoping that one of you veteran gamers could help me out here. :help:

For anyone who's completed the game; I'm currently stuck on Mission 7 "You Lucky Bastard". Chasing Segio through the harbour, had epic gun fight with oppostion gangsters. After killing every gangster in the enclosed harbour Sergio Morello is nowhere to be found, absolutely no place. This level particularly puzzelled me, the gunfight was hard enough, now my target just dissappeared from the face of earth. What the heck?! :dizzy2:

Started to play this game on recommendation of friends and found it extremely interesting. I was awed by the amount of detail and quite frankly astonished that this game was made way back in 2002. Very complexed and chanllenging, also has a nice storyline. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could help me out here so I could finish the game. :bow:

Hmm. If I recall, he's holed up in a warehouse, I believe at the far end of the level from where you enter the harbor. But to get in you have to break down the door using one of train cars. The train car will be sitting on a track leading into the warehouse, and you need to flip some sort of switch on the track or the train car to get it to move.

I think so anyway; I haven't played for a couple years. Good game, though.

Sometimes the goals on the screen can be misleading because you cannot actually literally accomplish them in the section of the game you are currently in. You might get a goal to 'kill Sergio' or whatnot, but to actually, literally kill him, you must wait til you are in the exact section of the game wherein it is scripted for you to be able to do so. This applies to various goals of the game.

Sometimes I confused myself the first time I played the game by being unable to literally accomplish the on-screen goals. Ie: I overtook an an enemy in a car-chase. My on-screen goal was to kill him, yet despite disabling his car (I think I blocked him in-between my car and some other cars so as he had no space to move), he was completely invulnerable!!! So I had no clue what was going on. Then I looked it up in some walkthroughs and realized that I wasn't supposed to be able to over-take and disable his car in that section of the game, rather, I had to follow him close enough so he doesn't get away, yet not so close that I am faster than him and block him, because doing so prevents the next scripted section of the game from loading. :dizzy2:

In any case, what I did in situations like this was went to http://www.gamefaqs.com and read their walkthroughs on Mafia for the sections I got stuck in.

Yeah, I had to flip some switches and then get that giant oil tanker to crash into the warehouse Sergio is hiding in. I spent so much time cluelessly searching through every place, thanks for the tip CR. :bow:

Probably should of done it earlier, could've saved me lots of trouble. Eventually I found the Mafia level walkthroughs on Youtube, now I completed the game. The 'Luck bastard' level is particularly hard, also the Race level was such a pain in the back I had to resolve to cheats to get past it. Still, all the effort was worth it, the game had such a great plot, plots like these makes movies, not games. Who would've thought it was Sam... and the ending, sad. :cry:
