This chapter combines stealth infiltration, tactical combat, and moral decision-making in one of the game’s most challenging missions. Interestingly, failing to do a certain task unlocks a specific achievement, making this chapter unique in its reward system for different approaches.
| Mission Component | Difficulty Level | Key Skills Required | Rewards |

| Stealth Infiltration | Hard | Silent takedowns, timing | Fantasma Achievement |
| Villa Combat | Medium | Ranged/close combat | Story progression |
| Moral Choice | Variable | Decision-making | Man of Honor Achievement |

Step 1: Meet Don Torrisi and Prepare for Battle
After rescuing Isabella and Gennaro in Il Barone (Chapter 4), Enzo gets called up by Don Torrisi for the next objective. Start by heading to Don Torrisi’s villa, where you’ll receive your mission briefing and prepare for the dangerous task ahead.
Key Preparation Steps:
- Follow the objective marker to enter Don Torrisi’s house
- Take stairs to the next floor and enter the marked doors
- Listen to Don Torrisi’s instructions about sending a message to Ludovici
- Follow Luca downstairs to meet Valerio in the weapons workshop
Step 2: Weapon Selection and Strategy Planning
Select your preferred weapon for the upcoming mission by visiting Valerio’s workshop. You can pick up each weapon to learn about its calibre briefly from Valerio, making informed decisions about your loadout.
Recommended Weapon Loadout:
- Bolt Action Rifle: Perfect for long-range enemy elimination
- Bore Pistol: Ideal for close-quarters encounters
- Knife: Essential for silent takedowns during infiltration
Pro Tip: Link your 2K account with Steam to obtain Garzia Garzia Tumulto for free, the best car in the game, which will make transportation significantly easier.
Step 3: Infiltrating Ludovici’s Villa – The Stealth Challenge
The infiltration sequence is the most challenging part of this chapter. Do not proceed to the main gate; instead, approach the small gate on the left side of the house, which is guarded.
Silent Entry Strategy
Initial Approach:
- Use Enzo’s Instinct mechanic to spot enemies through walls
- Wait for the guard to move away from the small gate
- Use your knife to break the lock quietly
- Perform a silent takedown on the guard from behind
- Hide the body in the nearby blue stash container
Climbing and Progression:
- Climb on top of the stash to reach the garden’s upper level
- Use cover to move carefully toward the villa’s left side
- Wait for guard conversations to end before making moves
- Eliminate guards one by one, hiding bodies behind stone walls
- Use the ladder to reach the workshop area
Step 4: Villa Interior Navigation
Once inside the villa, collect valuable items while progressing toward your target:
Collectible Opportunities:
- Trinacria: Found on tables throughout the villa (sell at Pasquale’s shop for Dinari)
- Newspaper: Located on a bench beneath a light near the villa wall
- Charm Beads: Hidden on small wooden tables for character upgrades
Stealth Achievement: If you manage to reach Ludovici without getting caught, you will unlock the Fantasma achievement in Mafia The Old Country.
Step 5: The Confrontation – Combat Strategy
When stealth fails or you choose direct confrontation, the villa erupts into intense combat. With you on the high ground and a decent amount of ammo supply, battling the guards should be easier.
Combat Tips:
- Use your long-range weapon to defeat enemies from elevated positions
- Switch to your pistol for enemies appearing from inside the villa
- Take advantage of cover and high ground positioning
- Progress through the curved stairs methodically, clearing each area
Step 6: Capturing Ludovici
After eliminating all guards, navigate to Ludovici’s location. Use your fist to beat him up in a scripted combat sequence, then tie him up, put the body on your shoulder, and drop him inside the waiting car.
Step 7: The Moral Choice – Honor vs. Orders
This is where Chapter 5 becomes truly compelling. Tino tasks you to kill Ludovici at a cliff location, presenting you with two distinct paths:
| Choice | Action | Consequence | Achievement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refuse to Kill | Stand without pulling trigger | Tino kills you, mission fails | Man of Honor |
| Execute Ludovici | Shoot when ordered | Story progresses normally | Story continuation |
Important Note: To progress further into the story, you must kill Ludovici. However, choosing the honorable path unlocks a unique achievement for players interested in exploring moral alternatives.
Step 8: Family Integration – Vengeance of Honor
After completing your mission successfully, Don Torrisi will ask you to visit the underground workshop. This triggers the chapter’s climactic ceremony where Enzo officially becomes part of the Torrisi family.
Final Chapter Events:
- Follow Cesare to the underground workshop
- Listen to Luca’s instructions during the extensive cutscene
- Witness Enzo taking the oath of loyalty and protection
- Participate in the celebration ceremony
- Drive to San Celeste with Cesare to see your new house
- Collect the final Trinacria from your new home
- Interact with the bedside table to complete the chapter

FAQs
Q: What’s the best weapon loadout for Mafia: The Old Country Chapter 5?
A: The optimal loadout combines the Bolt Action Rifle for long-range elimination and the Bore Pistol for close-quarters combat. The knife is essential for silent takedowns during the stealth infiltration phase. This combination allows you to handle both the stealth sequence and the villa combat effectively. You can experiment with different weapons at Valerio’s workshop to find your preferred setup, but this loadout provides excellent versatility for all mission phases.
Q: Can I complete Chapter 5 without killing anyone, and what happens if I refuse to execute Ludovici?
A: While you must eliminate guards during the villa infiltration and combat sequences, you can choose not to execute Ludovici at the chapter’s end. If you refuse to pull the trigger when Tino orders you to shoot Ludovici, Tino will become frustrated and kill you, resulting in a mission failure. However, this choice unlocks the “Man of Honor” achievement, showing the game’s recognition of moral decision-making. To progress the story normally, you must ultimately choose to execute Ludovici, but the achievement option adds meaningful player agency to this crucial moment.
