Mafia 2 Walkthrough - Chapter 14: Stairway to Heaven

Written by:  • Edited by: Michael Hartman
Published Aug 27, 2010

Things have gotten out of hand. We need to earn $55,000 in a single day, so we've got a whole lot to do. This is probably the single longest chapter in the game and includes one very long gun battle on the docks and a gun battle at a construction site. If you need any help, look here.

An Old Friend

Mafia 2 Walkthrough - The FBI Tail - The Mafia Never Forgets Walk down the back entrance to meet up with Joe and get into a very nice car. We’ve got a very quick hit to start out the day and earn some easy money. Since you need $27,500 by the end of the day, that’s a good thing.

Drive over to the marked house and step out to trigger the hit. For players who didn’t play the first Mafia game, this is just Mafia 2’s reference to the it. You’ll automatically get the achievement for “The Mafia Never Forgets.”

There was an FBI security detail though, so it’s not completely easy. We need to lose the tail and get rid of our wanted level, since the agent will radio in the kill. I’ve had this play out several ways on Hard difficulty.

If you want a quick solution, drive away for about a block and then slam the brakes and let them ram you. Joey might be able to take out their guy riding shotgun, which will remove most of the threat that they pose. A lot of the officers also seem to be alone at the start (until reinforcements with heavy weapons start rolling in) so once the FBI agent is dead, you’re home free. Let Joe finish them off and just drive away from the wrecked cop cars to lose the tail.

You can also do this the safer way. Floor it and watch the left side. You should be able to go down a few blocks and then swing a hard left and go through the backyards of all these nice houses. Curve in and out of the yards to put a lot of obstacles between you and your tail and you should be able to lose them.

The car unfortunately will probably be wanted now, so ditch it for something clean. Drive Joe the short distance to his car in Kingston and pull off into the lot. He’ll get out and drive away to earn his half of the money.

Helping Derek Papalardo

Our best option is to get some work from Derek Papalardo. Make the long drive down to the docks and walk up to his office. He’ll pay you for a quick enforcement deal, except it won’t go so well. Our loyalties have shifted a little bit.

Killing Derek Papalardo - The Battle at the Docks

Mafia 2 Guide - Killing Derek and Steve at the Docks I absolutely hate the battle at the dockyards. It’s missing an autosave in the middle, so be very careful if you don’t want to repeat the battle at least 10 times.

Pull out a shotgun and move down the docks. Get behind the stack of crates and start firing. Don’t worry about Vinnie and his workers. They have fairly scripted deaths as they move down the docks and aren’t a big help. Their biggest assistance is that they tend to mark enemies for you with their pistol fire. Keep

Just use the first stack of crates for cover and then clear out the first five men on the dock. Move up and to the right and get behind the next set of crates. If you can, try to kill Steve now. It’s okay if you don’t, but it’s nice to have him out of the way.

Some reinforcements will pull up in a nice car at the end of the dock. Just use a pistol or a rifle to put some fire in their direction. Try not to blow the car up though. That’s probably going to be our ride home.

If Steve is still alive, follow him to the right through the crates. There should be one more guard with a tommy gun to the far right side. The workers can occasionally kill him, but you have to watch out. He can take you out really quick if he gets the drop on you. Chase Steve forward and try to pin him down on the crates.

If he makes it further away, he should stop and make a last stand at the door. Just take cover behind some crates and pick him off. Make sure that you grab a tommy gun before heading inside the warehouse.

RE: Mafia 2 Walkthrough - Chapter 14: Stairway to Heaven
park the car right under the warehouse door, the door will stuck and the game will confuse. You will be  out of the warehouse nd the gate will be open, you will not be able to get in!!! At this moment the gangs in the warehouse will start to shoot at you. take your gun out, find a place right accross the warehouse gate and shoot them all!! Derek will be the last one, it took me 10 min. to be able to kill Derek, I tried a lot of other ways for this chapter but this is the easiest way!!!

RE: Easier way
I tried sinking the car that I came in, and the warehouse door did not close, and it did not let me into the office door... you still have to walk inside the warehouse, and then it traps you in, just like normal... sinking the car does not work...

killing Derek
@ Chris

I had some trouble with this part, and yes I agree there should have been an autosave after you get off the docks. In order to kill Derek, I did the following:

1. Use the car you came in and drive into the warehouse, straight to the very back. You'll want to point the nose of your car slightly to the right, so you can get out and crouch behind it. Get your gun out at this point.

2. Now if you're facing the entrance where you came in, shoot the two guys to your left. Next, straddle the nearest pole, it should be to your right. Wait and shoot the men that come down the stairs. Now there should be two men left flanking Derek on the balcony.

3. Approach the end of the balcony, and stay to your right. Look up and slowly creep forward just until you see the rail of the balcony. Be careful because if you go to far forward, youll be hit with a moltov. You should see the body or face of one of the men, but he wont be able to see you (if you are positioned correctly). Shoot this guy, and be sure hes dead.

4. Run to the center of the warehouse and straddle the back of the middle pole. Quickly kill the other man.

5. Run up the stairs and into the office and crouch down. Now Derek will be shooting at you, but youll be protected.

6. Take out Derek

Easier way
Thers an easier way for this..after you kill evrone on the docks get inti the cr u came in and sink it in the water..after that the door to the warehouse will close and u can go to dereks office and it would be easier to kill em all cuz the molotovs dnt affect u in there
John Jan 16, 2011 3:58 PM
docks
@louise
I to found that to be the hardest part of the game, I think your best bet is to head up the stairs to the left and hide out in the office.
louise Jan 15, 2011 12:55 PM
stuck at docks
im stuck at the second part at the docks. when i enter inside it doesnt matter what i do i keep getting killed. is there a certain thing i need to do.
John Jan 1, 2011 8:51 PM
Exiting construction site
If youre stuck at the construction site with the last guy surrendering. The problem is that Joe is to far away.

It happens that Joe get stuck in the stairway. To solve this you can walk behind him and push him down the stairs, when you have pushed him to the bottom of the stairs he will react and run to exit, starting the needed cut-scene.
alex Jan 1, 2011 4:30 PM
joe

Money for bruno
I have over 55g$ And it says pay Bruno back but it won't let me go into the door? Am I doing something wrong?!?
John Dec 6, 2010 6:30 PM
Joe Stuck - Surender - Cant leave
@Mark If Joe is stuck on the top of the level, and you cant exit the level without killing the the last guy.

What you can do is to walk behind Joe, and push him down all the stairs. When you get to the buttom, he will react and run to the guy who has surrendered and trigger the cut scene.

I'm having the same problem. I have the money, get to the door, and nothing; no action (X button). Did you ever figure it out?
Aaron R. Sep 6, 2010 1:46 AM
RE: Mafia 2 Walkthrough - Chapter 14: Stairway to Heaven
I think I had 20 attempts on hard :). I generally was able to run forward after I killed the guys on the ground. It takes a second for the guys up top to get into position. If you can't make it then try stealing the car that the reinforcements bring and use it to get across the floor and under the balcony. Just watch out for the two guys on the ground.

Yeah, the barrels aren't that great of cover since the molotovs do too much damage over a big area. You have to keep moving around and sometimes switch cover completely to get away from the persistent damage. That's about it for cover though. You can try going underneath the stairs to the left, but I felt a little exposed still.

For killing the two guys up top, I usually just use the tommy gun that Steve drops. Aim at the center mass and let the recoil carry the shots up. Once you take them out it gets a lot easier. It's also possible to shoot Derek in the head if you get a lucky hit. You can try shooting him right as you enter the warehouse.

Worse comes to worse, it's a breeze on easy and only hurts your pride.
chris Sep 5, 2010 9:41 PM
killing derek
ive tried to kill derek several times now. ive tried hidding behind the barrels and somehow derek is able to hit me with molotovs. and it seems like i wouldnt have enough time to run underneath the balcony. is there another spot that you can hide without being hit by molotovs? also whats the easiest way to take out the two guys on the balcony with tommy guns?
Aaron R. Aug 29, 2010 2:44 PM
RE: Mafia 2 Walkthrough - Chapter 14: Stairway to Heaven
...Sorry. You just hit one pretty terrible bug.

I'm not too sure what causes it. It looks like some people receive it for robbing stores to pay off Bruno, but I didn't so it isn't a guaranteed thing.

The game just glitches out a bit. If you already restarted the last part and retried, then you'll have to re-load the chapter form the main menu. Truly sorry on that one. Probably the worst chapter to have the happen on.

If you don't mind borderline cheating, note that you're basically done with that chapter (Vito just has another depressed moment where he finds out his father borrowed money from Bruno, so he's following in his footsteps. So if you can find a saved game where someone has already beaten the game, then you could just load chapter 15 and not miss a beat.
