Life isn’t easy for Enzo either in Mafia: The Old Country. Having lived a violent childhood as a carusu within the mines and having lost his childhood friend, he finally has Don Torrisi as his protector. One of the first assignments of the Don is to locate a valued informant — a man who can be known only by his red waistcoat. This assignment attempts observation as well as patience because coming up to the wrong person or acting too quickly can make it a puzzle.
Finding the Don’s Informant
Don’s informant is out in the open. Following conversation with Isabella and a free roam around, concentrate on the far right side of the square. You’ll notice a chap in a red waistcoat leaning against a stone wall pretty chilled out. This is actually the informant, though you can’t be certain until you test the coded message.
The Don provided the very exact information so Enzo won’t speak to the wrong person: the contact will understand the code of a throbbing tooth. If the red person doesn’t respond appropriately, they’re not the contact.
Waiting Out the Guard
One thing that can confuse players is the timing. As Enzo approaches the man, a guard will step in and talk to him. At that moment, the man in the red waistcoat can no longer be approached, which has caused some players to mistakenly assume that he is not the target.
The key here is patience. Wait until the guard finishes his exchange and leaves. Once the coast is clear, return to the man, deliver the secret passcode, and he’ll respond correctly — confirming he is indeed Don Torrisi’s informant.
Entering the Guardie Station
After he has presented himself, the informant leads Enzo into the guardie station as if he has official business. This is a staged event which is significant in that it gets Enzo onto the second floor without causing suspicion.
Escort the informant through the station until he unofficially guides Enzo to the forger’s address, who is held upstairs. Once having passed the information along, the informant insists that Enzo leave separately in order to avoid unnecessary attention.
Escorting out of the Station and Meeting Isabella
Having the forger’s location covered, Enzo must now leave the guardie station. Instead of going back with the informant, descend to the floor and exit through the main gate. Outside, Isabella will be waiting. After talking a bit with Isabella, Enzo can meet up with Cesare and Leo and begin the second half of the mission: infiltrating the station to rescue the captive forger.
