Mafia: The Old Country Achievement Guide: 100% Roadmap

Mafia: The Old Country follows Enzo Favara’s rise through the Torrisi crime family in 1900s Sicily, and its 55 achievements lean heavily on story progression, with a smaller set of combat, collection, and stealth-specific challenges layered on top. Since the game supports Chapter Replay and a Free Roam mode unlocked after Chapter 3, almost nothing here is permanently missable. This guide covers every achievement in chapter order where relevant, with real strategies for the trickier stealth and no-hit challenges.

Quick Stats

Estimated Completion Time: 20-25 hours
Difficulty: 5/10
Online Required: No
Missable Achievements: None permanently. Chapter Replay and Free Roam (unlocked after Chapter 3) let you clean up almost everything after the fact

Forza San Celeste

Unlock Rate: 89.0% (Common)

The Family Business

Unlock Rate: 85.0% (Common)

Requirement: Learn the family business

How to Unlock: Progress through Chapter 3 – Pizzu, where Enzo is introduced to the family’s underworld operations and Pasquale’s shop.

This Thing of Ours

Unlock Rate: 78.2% (Common)

Requirement: Get made into the Torrisi family

How to Unlock: Continue through the story until Enzo is formally inducted (“made”) into the Torrisi family, following the events of Chapter 4 and into Chapter 5.

Requirement: Win the race

How to Unlock: In Chapter 7 – Spirito Sportivo, win the endurance race as part of the main story, following Cesare’s calls and using shortcuts marked by Leo Gallante’s girls.

Tips: This is separate from the under-8-minutes Fastest Man in Sicily achievement; simply finishing the race in first place is enough here.

The Rat

Unlock Rate: 70.7% (Common)

Requirement: Kill L’Ombra with Cesare

How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 8 – Disgranzia, where Enzo and Cesare work together to eliminate the traitor known as L’Ombra.

Tips: This is a key assassination mission tied directly to story progress.

Total Shutdown

Unlock Rate: 67.6% (Common)

Requirement: Find the foreman

How to Unlock: In Chapter 9 – Industria, track down and confront the foreman as part of the main story mission.

Tips: Unlocks automatically once you locate and confront the target in this chapter.

No More Running

Unlock Rate: 66.5% (Common)

Requirement: Kill your nemesis

How to Unlock: Continue through the story until Enzo confronts and kills a personal nemesis introduced earlier in the narrative.

Tips: This follows directly from story progression in the chapters after Industria.

Neutral Ground

Unlock Rate: 65.3% (Common)

Requirement: Lose your mentor, Luca Trapani

How to Unlock: Progress through the story to the point where Enzo’s mentor figure, Luca Trapani, is killed following Baron Fontanelle’s betrayal.

Tips: This is a major, unavoidable story beat in the back half of the campaign.

Most Dutiful Soldier

Unlock Rate: 64.2% (Common)

Requirement: Exact revenge on Baron Fontanelle and Don Spadaro

How to Unlock: In Chapter 12 – La Forza Del Destino, complete the mission to assassinate Baron Fontanelle and Don Spadaro at the Palermo Opera House.

Tips: Check entrances and prepare ammunition and healing items before this mission, since it’s a demanding stealth-and-combat sequence.

Everything you Deserve

Unlock Rate: 62.6% (Common)

Requirement: Kill the Spadaro holdouts

How to Unlock: In Chapter 13 – Capiregime, complete the mission where Enzo and Cesare eliminate the remaining captains loyal to Don Spadaro.

Tips: Prioritize snipers and ranged threats first, then clear remaining enemies, since this fight can get chaotic if approached carelessly.

Only One Way Out

Unlock Rate: 60.9% (Common)

Requirement: Reach the end of Enzo and Isabella’s story

How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 14 – La Merica, the final chapter of the main campaign, bringing Enzo and Isabella’s story to its conclusion.

Tips: This is the final story achievement and unlocks upon reaching the credits.

Difficulty Runs

The Old Country

Unlock Rate: 60.8% (Common)

Requirement: Complete the story on any difficulty

How to Unlock: Finish the full campaign on any difficulty setting, including Easy.

Tips: This unlocks alongside Only One Way Out on your first completed playthrough, regardless of difficulty.

True Soldato

Unlock Rate: 10.9% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Complete the story on Hard difficulty

How to Unlock: Finish the full campaign on Hard difficulty.

Tips: You don’t need a separate playthrough for this if you start on Hard from the beginning; playing on Hard throughout also lets you pick up every achievement in a single run.

Stealth & Chapter-Specific Challenges

Garden Rendezvous

Unlock Rate: 72.4% (Common)

Requirement: Meet Isabella in secret

How to Unlock: At the start of Chapter 3, follow the optional objective to meet Isabella secretly in the gardens after receiving her letter.

Tips: This is a simple optional objective that’s easy to complete if you follow the prompt rather than skipping it.

Man of Honor

Unlock Rate: 22.1% (Rare)

Requirement: Refuse Tino’s order to kill in cold blood

How to Unlock: At the end of Chapter 5, when Tino orders you to kill Ludovici in cold blood, refuse the order instead of complying.

Tips: This is a deliberate choice against the flow of the mission, so make sure to select the refusal option rather than the default kill prompt.

The Old Ways

Unlock Rate: 32.9% (Uncommon)

Requirement: Reach the foreman’s office without alerting the enemies

How to Unlock: During Chapter 9 – Industria, reach the foreman’s office using stealth takedowns or subdues, without any bodies being discovered by remaining enemies.

Tips: Subduing or killing enemies is fine as long as no bodies are found, so focus on hiding bodies rather than avoiding all contact.

Salvatore’s Apprentice

Unlock Rate: 24.7% (Rare)

Requirement: Crack a safe without a combination

How to Unlock: During Chapter 3, while collecting protection money from a citrus farmer, locate the safe in the back room and crack it manually using the code “10-20-30” instead of collecting the written combination first.

Tips: This achievement can be voided if you collect the combination note before attempting the safe, and unlike other chapter-specific achievements, it cannot be cleaned up in Chapter Replay if missed, so get it right the first time or restart the chapter.

Not So Fast

Unlock Rate: 22.5% (Rare)

Requirement: Kill Caccini before he reaches the Salt Flats

How to Unlock: During the relevant chase mission, destroy Caccini’s car before he can reach the Salt Flats and escape.

Tips: Focus fire on the vehicle itself rather than chasing on foot, since destroying the car prevents his escape outright.

Fantasma

Unlock Rate: 39.9% (Uncommon)

Requirement: Infiltrate the villa without being seen

How to Unlock: During the villa infiltration mission, subdue or kill enemies as needed but ensure no bodies are discovered, completing the section undetected.

Tips: This can be cleaned up via Chapter Replay if you miss it the first time, so don’t stress over a single mistake mid-playthrough.

Silent Hunter

Unlock Rate: 21.1% (Rare)

Requirement: Kill Mazzone without alerting his men

How to Unlock: During the Mazzone assassination mission, eliminate him without alerting any of his guards, using stealth takedowns and body concealment as needed.

Tips: As with other stealth achievements, killing or subduing guards is fine as long as their bodies aren’t discovered.

Worthy Opponent

Unlock Rate: 3.5% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Defeat Don Torrisi without taking a single hit

How to Unlock: During the boss fight against Don Torrisi, defeat him without taking any damage across both checkpoints in the fight.

Tips: Focus on dodging rather than blocking, only blocking when you’re certain of the timing, and counter-attack after a successful dodge. If you get hit, reload the last checkpoint rather than pushing through.

Trail of Destruction

Unlock Rate: 63.4% (Common)

Requirement: Eliminate 10 cars while escaping the Tonnara

How to Unlock: During the escape sequence from the Tonnara, shoot the radiators of pursuing vehicles to disable 10 of them.

Tips: More than 10 vehicles pursue you during this sequence, so this is easy to complete without needing a dedicated retry.

Full Steam Ahead

Unlock Rate: 58.7% (Common)

Requirement: Beat the train

How to Unlock: In Chapter 7 – Spirito Sportivo, while testing an imported car from the USA, go full throttle and cross a railway crossing before an oncoming train arrives.

Tips: Don’t hesitate or slow down during this sequence; if you mistime it, simply reload the checkpoint and try again.

Fastest Man in Sicily

Unlock Rate: 65.1% (Common)

Requirement: Complete the race in under 8 minutes

How to Unlock: In Chapter 7, complete the endurance race in under 8 minutes total.

Tips: This is close to an automatic unlock as long as you win the race normally, since the story’s expected completion time is already close to the limit. Use marked shortcuts if you fall behind pace.

Daredevil

Unlock Rate: 16.8% (Rare)

Requirement: Jump a car over 40 meters

How to Unlock: Find a ramp or ledge suitable for launching your car and clear a jump of at least 40 meters.

Tips: This has been reported to trigger during certain chase sequences, including one in Chapter 3, but a dedicated ramp location in Free Roam is the most reliable way to guarantee the distance.

Weapon Mastery

Cold-Blooded

Unlock Rate: 76.1% (Common)

Requirement: Perform 30 headshots

How to Unlock: Land 30 headshots on enemies across any weapons and missions.

Tips: If you’re struggling with pistols, switch to a shotgun for more forgiving headshot hitboxes at close range.

Rare Weapons Expert: Repeater

Unlock Rate: 60.8% (Common)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with a Repeater

How to Unlock: Equip the Repeater rifle and kill 20 enemies with it.

Tips: The Repeater is considered one of the weaker weapons in the game, often needing several shots to kill on Hard difficulty, so prioritize headshots to conserve ammo.

Rare Weapons Expert: Pump-Action

Unlock Rate: 55.4% (Common)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with a Pump-Action Shotgun

How to Unlock: Equip the Pump-Action Shotgun and kill 20 enemies with it.

Tips: Chapter 3’s urban areas and Chapter 9’s industrial areas both offer good enemy density for farming weapon-specific kills.

Rare Weapons Expert: Vendetti

Unlock Rate: 35.9% (Uncommon)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with a Vendetti

How to Unlock: Equip the Vendetti and kill 20 enemies with it.

Tips: If you’re short on enemies in the main story, Chapter 5’s weapon locker area near the villa infiltration section is a good spot to loop encounters via checkpoint reloads.

Rare Weapons Expert: Lupara

Unlock Rate: 19.3% (Rare)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with a Lupara

How to Unlock: Equip the Lupara, a short shotgun that replaces the pistol holster, and kill 20 enemies with it. It can be bought from Pasquale or other vendors, or looted from enemies who rush you out of cover.

Tips: The Lupara is deadly at close range, often one-shotting enemies up close, so bait enemies into rushing you rather than sniping from a distance.

Rare Weapons Expert: Praecisione

Unlock Rate: 18.9% (Rare)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with a Praecisione

How to Unlock: Equip the Praecisione as your primary weapon and kill 20 enemies with it.

Tips: This is a medium-range weapon, so hold your position and take clean shots rather than pushing into close-quarters fights.

Rare Weapons Expert: Modello

Unlock Rate: 12.7% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with a Modello C96

How to Unlock: Equip the Modello C96 and kill 20 enemies with it.

Tips: This is one of the rarer weapon-kill achievements to complete naturally, so a dedicated farming pass using the weapon locker method in Chapter 5 speeds things up considerably.

Secret Assassin

Unlock Rate: 24.6% (Rare)

Requirement: Kill 20 enemies with Knife Takedowns

How to Unlock: Stealth-kill 20 enemies using knife takedowns rather than subduing them.

Tips: This specifically requires lethal stealth kills, not non-lethal subdues, so make sure you’re choosing the kill prompt during takedowns.

Bombas Away!

Unlock Rate: 24.3% (Rare)

Requirement: Kill 10 enemies with explosives

How to Unlock: Throw bombs (swap to them with the number 4 key on PC) during combat encounters to kill 10 enemies total.

Tips: Let enemies cluster together before throwing a bomb rather than using one on a single isolated target, since the blast radius covers groups efficiently.

Live by the Blade

Unlock Rate: 3.4% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Perform all Special Actions 5 times with each knife

How to Unlock: Only the Scannaturi (throwable knife, long-range takedowns) and Rasolu (combat knife, instant kill anytime, low durability) have Special Actions among the game’s three knife types; the Stiletto has no special action and only needs standard kills. Perform each knife’s Special Action 5 times.

Tips: Practice each knife’s specific move in Free Roam mode first, since durability limits (especially on the Rasolu) make repeated practice runs risky during story missions.

Vehicles & Customization

Riding in Style

Unlock Rate: 41.5% (Uncommon)

Requirement: Customize a horse

How to Unlock: Visit the stables and select any available customization style for your horse.

Tips: Some horse styles unlock after completing the Palio race in Chapter 2 and can be purchased with Dinari, so this is easiest to pick up once you have money to spend.

Driving in Style

Unlock Rate: 10.2% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Customize a car

How to Unlock: Visit a garage or Pasquale’s shop and apply any available customization to a car you own.

Tips: This requires owning a car first, so make sure you’ve purchased or acquired one before checking the customization menu.

Good as New

Unlock Rate: 6.4% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Fix a broken vehicle using the crank

How to Unlock: Crash a car until it breaks down, then use the hand crank to restart it.

Tips: This can be done as soon as you start Chapter 5; simply damage a vehicle enough to disable it, then use the crank prompt to get it running again.

Getaway Driver

Unlock Rate: 4.5% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Drive at 120 km/h for at least 15 seconds

How to Unlock: Find an open stretch of road and maintain a speed of 120 km/h or higher continuously for 15 seconds.

Tips: Free Roam mode, unlocked after Chapter 3, offers the most open and obstacle-free roads for building up sustained speed.

The Finer Things

Unlock Rate: 5.7% (Very Rare)

Requirement: Buy all available cars from Pasquale

How to Unlock: Accumulate enough Dinari to purchase every car available from Pasquale’s shop.

Tips: Sell Trinacria coins you’ve collected for extra money if you’re short on funds, since coin collection and car purchases can be worked toward simultaneously.

Collection

Read All About It

Unlock Rate: 80.6% (Common)

Requirement: Find a Newspaper

How to Unlock: Find and pick up any one Newspaper collectible scattered through the game world.

Tips: Newspapers appear frequently throughout the story chapters, so this unlocks naturally during normal exploration.

Bona Furtuna

Unlock Rate: 80.1% (Common)

Requirement: Find a Trinacria coin

How to Unlock: Find and pick up any one Trinacria coin collectible.

Tips: Trinacria coins can be sold for Dinari later, so keep collecting them even after this achievement unlocks.

Protected

Unlock Rate: 78.8% (Common)

Requirement: Equip a Charm

How to Unlock: Open the pause menu and equip any Charm item you’ve found or purchased.

Tips: This takes seconds once you have any Charm in your inventory, so knock it out as soon as you pick one up.

Vulpi Misteriusa

Unlock Rate: 78.1% (Common)

Requirement: Find a Mystery Fox

How to Unlock: Find and interact with any one Mystery Fox collectible hidden throughout the game world.

Tips: Mystery Foxes are a distinct collectible type separate from Newspapers and Trinacria coins, so check a collectible location guide if you’re having trouble spotting your first one.

Mystery Fox Domination

Unlock Rate: 2.3% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Find all Mystery Foxes

How to Unlock: Locate and collect every Mystery Fox scattered across the game world.

Tips: Use a dedicated collectible location guide for this, since Mystery Foxes are one of the harder collectible types to find without help.

The Collector

Unlock Rate: 2.2% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Complete the collection

How to Unlock: Collect every type of collectible in the game, including Mystery Foxes, Newspapers, Trinacria coins, Photographs, and Saint Cards.

Tips: Any chapter-specific collectible you miss during your main playthrough can still be picked up afterward via Chapter Select, so this doesn’t need to be completed in a single run.

Post-Game Challenges

Classico

Unlock Rate: 1.9% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Complete the story on Classic difficulty

How to Unlock: Finish the full campaign on Classic difficulty, added as part of the Free Ride update alongside a new side quest and challenge modes.

Tips: It’s recommended to complete at least one normal playthrough first to learn the chapters before attempting Classic difficulty.

Firestarter

Unlock Rate: 1.6% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Complete Playing with Fire

How to Unlock: Complete the “Playing with Fire” side quest added in the Free Ride update, which involves collecting 14 clues chronologically that lead to a hidden treasure.

Tips: Collect the clues in order, since finding one provides the information needed to locate the next.

Seasoned Hunter

Unlock Rate: 1.2% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Complete all Standoffs, earning at least a medal in each

How to Unlock: Complete every Standoff challenge added in the Free Ride update, earning at least a bronze medal or higher in each one. Talk to Valerio in the gun room at Villa Torrisi to access these challenges on the map.

Tips: Standoffs test quick-draw and accuracy skills, so practice your aiming sensitivity before attempting a full medal sweep.

Deadly Assassin

Unlock Rate: 1.2% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Complete all Assassinations, earning at least a medal in each

How to Unlock: Complete every Assassination challenge added in the Free Ride update, earning at least a medal in each one.

Tips: These challenges reward stealth and efficiency, so treat them similarly to the story’s stealth-specific achievements.

Speed Demon

Unlock Rate: 1.1% (Ultra Rare)

Requirement: Complete all Races, earning at least a medal in each

How to Unlock: Complete every Race challenge (horse, circuit, sprint, and time trials) added in the Free Ride update, earning at least a medal in each. Talk to Gaspare by the stables at Villa Torrisi to access these on the map.

Tips: Practice each race type separately rather than trying to master all of them at once, since horse, circuit, and sprint races each have different handling.

5-Phase 100% Completion Roadmap

Phase 1: First Playthrough on Hard Play through the full campaign on Hard difficulty from the start to unlock both The Old Country and True Soldato in a single run. This also naturally unlocks all story-progression achievements and most weapon-kill achievements as you fight through each chapter.

P2: Careful Chapter-Specific Choices Pay close attention to chapter-specific achievements as you reach them: refuse Tino’s order in Chapter 5 for Man of Honor, crack the safe with the code in Chapter 3 for Salvatore’s Apprentice (this one cannot be fixed later if missed), and pursue stealth options during the Old Ways, Fantasma, and Silent Hunter sequences.

P3: Collectible and Vehicle Cleanup Once Free Roam unlocks after Chapter 3, use it alongside Chapter Select to mop up any missed collectibles (Newspapers, Trinacria coins, Mystery Foxes, Photographs, Saint Cards) for The Collector, and work on vehicle achievements like Driving in Style, Good as New, and Getaway Driver.

P4: Weapon and Combat Cleanup Use Chapter 5’s weapon locker area to farm remaining weapon-kill achievements by picking a weapon, getting kills, and reloading the checkpoint to repeat. Clean up Cold-Blooded, Bombas Away!, Secret Assassin, and Live by the Blade during this pass.

P5: Free Ride Content and Difficulty Cleanup Complete the Free Ride update’s Classic difficulty playthrough for Classico, then work through the Playing with Fire side quest and all Standoffs, Assassinations, and Races for Firestarter, Seasoned Hunter, Deadly Assassin, and Speed Demon.

Conclusion

Mafia: The Old Country’s achievement list is built around a single confident playthrough more than repeated grinding. Play on Hard from the start to cover the difficulty achievements in one pass, pay close attention to a handful of chapter-specific choices and no-hit challenges as they come up, and lean on Chapter Replay and Free Roam for anything you miss. The Free Ride update’s Standoffs, Assassinations, and Races are the real endgame here, adding a genuine skill test after the story wraps up.
