Chapter 3 of Mafia: The Old Country begins with Enzo sitting down to read a letter from Isabella, the last line of which invites him to the garden to meet her again if he wants to hear her words once more. With Luca’s admonition at the end of the previous chapter, though, no surprise that players will baulk at taking the Don’s daughter up on her offer.
This guide will examine the potential impact of choosing to make it easier for players to know whether or not to view Isabella in the garden. The initial portion will strive to be as spoiler-free as is humanly possible, and the rest of the guide will outline precisely what happens if players go to the garden in Mafia: The Old Country.
Should You Meet Isabella in the Garden in Mafia: The Old Country?
Yes, short answer. The players must meet Isabella in the garden before encountering Luca at the stables. Though the option is completely without effect on the game’s central storyline, players will earn the Garden Rendezvous Trophy / Achievement if they do so, and have a unique interaction with Isabella. Going to the garden at this time also offers players a window to pick up the Astuzia charm, which increases the area of effect of all items thrown.
What Happens if You Meet Isabella in the Garden? (Mild Spoilers)
If the player goes to the garden, Enzo and Isabella will share a few words regarding what has occurred in Collezolfo. There is some flirting here as well, though this is quickly stopped when Tino shows up and chases Enzo away from getting too familiar with the Don’s daughter. As mentioned above, there are no long-term consequences here, however, as Tino will be unfriendly with Enzo no matter what players do with him.
Are There Any Substantial Choices in Mafia: The Old Country?
In short, no. None of the decisions players make in Mafia: The Old Country ever really matter to the game’s story. The only other choices players really get to make are whether or not they assassinate someone when told to. There’s always someone else there to pull the trigger if they don’t, but not doing so in Chapter 13 of Mafia: The Old Country will earn the Man of Honor Trophy / Achievement.
