Mafia: The Old Country Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Kill 10 enemies using explosives. Several types of explosions count toward this trophy, including grenades, exploding vehicles, red explosive barrels, and environmental lanterns. Look for opportunities to eliminate enemies standing near explosive objects during gunfights. Shooting a red barrel or throwing a grenade into a group of enemies can help you make progress quickly. Once you've killed 10 enemies with explosions, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Aim for groups of enemies standing close together to earn multiple explosive kills at once. Why use ten bullets when one well-placed explosion can do the paperwork for you?

Unlock Details

Perform 30 headshots against enemies. Use any firearm to eliminate enemies with shots to the head. You'll likely earn this trophy naturally during the campaign, especially if you're regularly aiming for headshots to conserve ammunition. Once you've successfully performed 30 headshots, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Take advantage of enemies peeking over cover to line up precise shots. You can also work toward this trophy while completing the various Rare Weapons Expert challenges. Two birds, one bullet. Very economical.

Unlock Details

Perform each knife type's special action five times. There are three knife types in Mafia: The Old Country, each with a different special ability: Scannaturi: Perform five throwing-knife takedowns. Rasolu: Perform five combat takedowns using its special killing ability. Stiletto: Perform five knife takedowns using its high-durability blade. Once you've successfully performed the required action five times with each knife type, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Work on these throughout the campaign rather than leaving everything for cleanup. Keep whetstones handy to restore your knife's durability, especially when using the Rasolu.

Unlock Details

Kill Caccini before he reaches the Salt Flats during Chapter 13: Capiregime. After dealing with Mazzone, you'll join Cesare in pursuing Caccini as he attempts to escape in his car. Follow him closely and look for opportunities to take shortcuts, particularly around sharp turns. One effective strategy is to get ahead of Caccini and block his vehicle with your own. Once he's stopped, exit your car and shoot him before he reaches the Salt Flats to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Use the tighter corners to cut ahead instead of following his exact route. Sometimes the best way to win a car chase is to stop treating it like a race.

Warning

If Caccini reaches the Salt Flats before you kill him, you'll miss the trophy on that attempt. You can retry through Chapter Replay.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using the Lupara shotgun. The Lupara is a powerful, short-barreled shotgun that occupies your pistol slot. You can purchase one from Pasquale's shop or collect it from enemies carrying the weapon. Its damage is devastating at close range, making it perfect for dealing with enemies who get a little too comfortable invading your personal space. Eliminate 20 enemies with the Lupara to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Get close before firing to make the most of its damage. Enemies who rush your position are excellent targets.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using the Modello C96 pistol. The Modello C96 is a semi-automatic handgun with a fast firing rate but relatively low damage. You can purchase it from Pasquale's shop or collect it from enemies during the campaign. Equip the weapon and eliminate 20 enemies to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Aim for headshots whenever possible to compensate for the pistol's lower damage. It's much more effective when you prioritize accuracy over spraying bullets.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using the Praecisione rifle. The Praecisione is a powerful, accurate rifle designed for long-range combat. You can purchase it from Pasquale's shop or obtain it from enemies carrying the weapon. Equip the rifle and eliminate 20 enemies with it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Use the Praecisione for distant targets and aim for headshots whenever possible. Its high damage makes it particularly effective against enemies who haven't yet discovered the benefits of staying behind cover.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using the Pump-Action Shotgun. You can purchase this weapon from Pasquale's shop or pick it up from fallen enemies, particularly during the later chapters. The Pump-Action Shotgun delivers powerful shots at close to medium range, making it useful when fighting multiple enemies in confined areas. Simply eliminate 20 enemies with the weapon to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Use the shotgun during close-range encounters where enemies are grouped together. It's an excellent way to clear a room when polite negotiations have officially failed.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using the Repeater rifle. The Repeater is a rifle with moderate damage that may require several body shots to eliminate enemies, particularly on Hard difficulty. Equip the weapon and kill 20 enemies with it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Focus on headshots whenever possible. The Repeater can struggle against tougher enemies with body shots, so accurate aiming will save ammunition and make the challenge much faster.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using the Vendetti pistol. The Vendetti is a powerful handgun that deals heavy damage but has a slower firing rate and limited ammunition capacity. You can purchase it from Pasquale's shop or obtain it from enemies, particularly during later story chapters. Equip the Vendetti and eliminate 20 enemies to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Take your time between shots and aim carefully. The Vendetti is particularly effective against tougher enemies, often requiring only a couple of well-placed hits on Hard difficulty. It may not fire quickly, but it certainly knows how to make a point.

Unlock Details

Kill 20 enemies using Knife Takedowns. Sneak up behind an unsuspecting enemy and press Circle to perform a stealth kill with your equipped knife. Repeat this until you've successfully eliminated 20 enemies. Avoid grabbing enemies first, as you need to perform direct knife takedowns for this trophy.

Tip

Use the Stiletto knife for its excellent durability and carry whetstones to keep it sharp. Stealth missions are perfect opportunities to work toward this trophy. After all, the best assassination is one nobody notices until it's considerably too late.

Unlock Details

Destroy 10 pursuing vehicles during the escape from the Tonnara in Chapter 11: Mattanza. During the escape sequence, Enzo will ride in the back of a truck while enemy vehicles chase him. Use your weapon to shoot the drivers of the pursuing cars. Eliminating a driver will take their vehicle out of the chase and count toward the trophy. Disable 10 vehicles during the escape to unlock Trail of Destruction.

Tip

Focus your shots on the drivers rather than spraying bullets into the vehicles themselves. Apparently, the quickest way to stop a car in Sicily is to remove its enthusiasm for driving.

Unlock Details

Defeat Don Torrisi without taking any damage during the knife duel in Chapter 14: La Merica. The fight consists of three stages, each with its own checkpoint. To earn the trophy, you must complete the entire duel without getting hit. Focus on defending rather than attacking recklessly. Watch Torrisi's movements, parry his attacks, and strike during safe openings. If you take damage, reload the checkpoint and retry the current stage. Successfully completing each stage without taking damage will unlock the trophy when Torrisi is defeated.

Tip

Patience is more important than aggression here. Let Torrisi attack first, punish his mistakes, and don't get greedy with extra strikes. He's already angry enough without you trying to speedrun the family dispute.

Warning

Taking damage during the duel will invalidate that attempt. Reload the checkpoint immediately if you're hit rather than finishing the fight.
