Running Man is the 2nd mission in Mafia.
Background[]
After driving around five passengers, you must escape from two of Morello's men, Louie and his partner, by running to Salieri's Bar.
Walkthrough[]
There are a total of 5 passengers you must drive to their destinations:
- 1st Passenger: Church, Down Town
- 2nd Passenger: Hospital, New Ark
- 3rd Passenger: Twister Theater, Central Island
- 4th Passenger: Pompeii Bar, Hoboken
- 5th Passenger: Department Store Car Lot, Little Italy
After dropping off the last passenger, Tommy will take a coffee break. He will then be attacked by two of Morello's goons.
After the cutscene ends, the objective is to escape to Salieri's Bar. Run through the alleys, following the green arrows, to avoid the thugs who are pursuing you. Once you reach the bar, a cutscene will play, completing the mission.
Result[]
As a result of calling in on the favor, you now become part of Don Salieri's gang. For some reason, the thugs decide to wander into the bar and refuse to walk out. An end cutscene shows them being taken care of.
Trivia[]
- The mission's name refers to Tommy being forced to flee after Morello's goons smash his car and attempt to beat him to death.
- This is the first mission that also includes walking and running. It is used as a tutorial to both explore the city and to get used to on-foot controls.
- On the PS2 version, this mission is split in two. The first part of the mission, where you have to drive passengers across the city, is a mission called "Work day".
- In the first alley, there is a burglar attempting to break into one of the doors to an apartment. He is holding a steel bar, which is a relatively rare melee weapon, like the wooden plank seen in a few missions.
- At the second alley, just after you get in to the alley, you should hear a man say "Where the hell is she? I said three o'clock in the passageway." The man seems to be waiting for a woman. Keep running until the last alley. There you should hear the woman who's waiting for the man say a similar thing. They clearly got to different places. If you want to do a favor you can tell the woman so she knows it's a misunderstanding.
- At the second alley where you see a car exiting the alley, you should see a man urinating at the corner. When he hears gunshots, or you attack him, he will run off, still urinating.
