Mafia: The Old Country Guide | How to Defeat and Chase Cassini

This guide explains how to defeat Cassini in Mafia: The Old Country and how to complete the subsequent chase. It focuses on practical tactics, positioning, and a recommended loadout so the encounter can be handled predictably. Follow the steps below to clear the area, reach the vehicle, and pursue the target while minimizing risk.

Recommended Loadout

It is highly recommended to pick up one of the Pump Action Shotguns, as these are among the best weapons in the game. The Pumpaction Shotguns perform exceptionally well on controller because they are easier to aim and land shots with, making them a strong choice for close-quarters engagements.

Clearing the Area

Begin by taking out all of the guards. Make sure you grab some ammo if it is needed. Push through the door and continue advancing; there will be one more guard further back—deal with him quickly. After neutralizing the immediate threats, move left toward the ruins and proceed to the vehicle.

Reaching the Vehicle and Race Context

The sequence appears to connect with an earlier race event. Take the available shortcuts where possible, though some shortcuts may be restricted and cannot be used. Prioritize reaching the destination rather than catching Cassini quickly. Getting to the objective is the primary concern.

Chase Strategy

When the chase begins, continue down the road and attempt shortcuts where feasible. It is not strictly necessary to catch Cassini immediately; focus on maintaining pace and reaching the destination. Do not be overly concerned about Chazar firing shots at this stage—these do not necessarily decisively alter the chase outcome.

Combat Notes During the Chase

During the pursuit, shots may register without an immediate visible effect; this suggests the encounter may involve a time-based mechanic. Watch for the target to slow down—this is the moment when a direct fight can occur. Aim for headshots when the opportunity presents itself; a well-placed headshot can finish Cassini quickly.

Final Tip

Remain focused on positioning and ammo management throughout the encounter. With the Pumpaction Shotgun equipped, aggressive clears of the immediate guards and attentive aiming during the chase will make the fight against Cassini straightforward.
