Chapter 7 - In Loving Memory, F. Potenza Mafia II Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
MEETING WITH JOE:
Before you go to meet with your buddy Joe you should do something different first. Steal a vehicle and drive over to Harry's store located in the north-western part of the city (you've been there to collect the MG42 in the fifth chapter of the game) #1. Enter the store and look around to find a Playboy magazine on the floor #2. You may now return to the area where you've started this chapter.
Proceed towards the building where Joe still lives #1. Enter the building and start off by going to the top floor (4 signs on the walls). Explore nearby corridors to find yet another Playboy magazine #2. You may now return to the second floor and go to Joe's place. He'll give you 200 dollars to get started and he'll also inform that he's rented an apartment for you.
GOING WITH JOE TO VITO'S NEW APARTMENT:
Exit the building using the passageway leading to the garage area. Ignore the garage with your cars (they're still there after all these years) and go to Joe's garage. Enter his vehicle (Smith Custom 200) #1 and wait for him to join you. Start driving west, towards the apartment seen on your map. Don't apply too much gas if you're using the realistic driving model, because from this era have more horsepower. Park the vehicle near your destination (doesn't matter where, because you won't be allowed to use later in the chapter) #2.
Exit the vehicle and proceed towards the entrance to the building #1. Wait until you're standing inside and head towards upper floors. Make sure to explore your surroundings along the way, because you'll have a chance to collect a new Playboy magazine #2.
You'll have to reach the top floor where you're going to be greeted by the owner #1. You can now take part in a short tour of your new apartment #2.
PUTTING ON A SUIT AND MEETING WITH JOE AGAIN:
If you've already been to a clothes store (for example - during the fourth chapter of the game) and purchased a suit then all you have to do is to approach a closet in your apartment #1 and choose this item from the list. If you don't have a suit in your possession then you're going to have to buy one. One of the stores which sells them is located to the east #2.
Pull up near the entrance to the store #1, approach the counter and press the action key to browse through the items they're selling. A good suit will probably cost between 50 and 100 dollars #2, so you'll have to plenty of money left from all the cash Joe gave you.
As for the vehicle, the fastest way would be to choose something from the garage located under your apartment #1. A better solution, however, would be to steal one of the faster vehicles from this era. One of them should be parked near the garage #2 or you can always steal something from the street. Drive to Joe's apartment. If you're using a new car you should store it in your garage, because you'll soon switch vehicles. Enter the building and go to Joe's place. Knock on the door to trigger a cut-scene during which you'll meet his buddy Eddie.
HAVING A RIDE WITH JOE AND EDDIE:
Exit the building via the passageway leading to the garage area. Enter Eddie's car (Potomac Indian) and wait until your colleagues have joined you #1. Your current destination can be seen on your map and during the trip you'll find out that it's a brothel. Park the car in front of the night club #2 and enjoy a longer cut-scene.
BURYING THE BODY NEAR THE OBSERVATORY:
Wait until Vito has left the club, enter the vehicle you've used to get here and remain here until Joe and Eddie are inside the car (it'll take some time, because they're drunk) #1. The game will be showing Joe's place as your destination, but you'll soon discover that there's a dead guy in the trunk. You'll soon come to an agreement that his body should be buried near the observatory and this means you'll have to drive towards the Highbrook district located on a hill #2. You've been there in one of the previous chapters, so you should know the way without looking at your map.
Travel from Highbrook to Uptown and continue driving east #1. Don't forget to use the speed limiter, because you wouldn't want to get caught by the police with a 'package' in your trunk. Drive through a parking lot and keep heading east. Destroy a gate #2 to find yourself inside the park. Drive to a clearing seen on your map where you'll be rewarded with a cut-scene.
DRIVING VITO'S DRUNKEN FRIENDS TO JOE'S PLACE:
Wait until you've regained control over Vito and return to the car you've used to get here #1. Exit the park using the same route (you may need to destroy the gate again) and then reach Joe's apartment without any police vehicles on your tail. Thankfully you won't have to enter the building, because this chapter will end near the garages #2.
