Chapter VIII - p. 1 Max Payne 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
First group of enemies you can eliminate on two ways: firing behind the Payne's family tombstone or making a single bullet time jump and shooting at enemies heads.
This location has no exit, you'll be automatically moved to the new area after all battles. What means that you can defend nearby the beginning place all the time.
After the encounter move little forward, but when you hear running enemies hide behind one of tombstones. I recommend to fire behind the cover, precisely following enemies' moves and not let anybody attack you from the flank. Continue the battle until you secure this part of a graveyard.
Be ready, because after the cut scene you'll be forced to kill the driver of a truck. It should make the truck hit the wall and decrease a danger for you.
Another difficult encounter waits for you. I recommend to begin from eliminating the enemy with a grenade launcher. It's important, because if you don't hurry you may die in an explosion (but you can destroy grenades during their flight).
Only now attack "normal" enemies, standing on the stairs and the upper balcony. Don't go out behind the cover too early, because some enemies may hide waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Make sure that there are no enemies and go right. Look around by the crypt shown on the screen and you'll find a part of a weapon [Golden Gun - Auto 9mm 1/3]. You can go back to the stairs and use them.
After getting upstairs, kill immediately bandits standing there. I suggest also picking up the grenade launcher (screen). If you killed thug who had it very fast, it'll have still 4-5 missiles.
I recommend choosing the right passage leading to the another part of a graveyard. Firstly, use the grenade launcher to eliminate the main group of enemies. Then begin more standard attacks, hiding behind small parapets and tombstones or making lot of slow motion jumps.
After the fights, pick up ammo and search for the small building in which you find two painkillers. Examine also tombstone shown on the screen to unlock the new clue [Clue 1/3 - Valerie's Tombstone].
Only then approach the gate by which Passos is standing (screen).
Remark! Remember to not leave the particular area too early (it happens mostly when you approach some gate), because game won't let you go back.
After regaining control you can quickly run to the vehicle or (the better solution) make a bullet time jump to eliminate nearby thugs.
After proceeding to the proper battle, use the van as a cover. You can use grenade launcher or aim at the remaining vehicles and try to blow them out and kill gangsters. Eliminate all of them.
After the encounter ignore the main path to the mausoleum and choose the side one, by the one of the parked vans. You have to reach small, round square and find a fragment of weapon [Golden Gun - 608 Bull 1/3].
