Meeting Baron Fontanella at the Vineyard

Follow Isabella as Baron Fontanella arrives at the vineyard. This sequence unlocks the stable feature, where you can access your complete horse collection, purchase new mounts, and buy accessories using dinari currency. Select your preferred horse and confirm your choice by holding the F key.

Starting the Machine

When you come to a stop, you’ll need to start the machine. Press the E key each time the slider enters the marked zone to successfully crank it. Once started, continue following Isabella and participate in the horse race with her (you can choose to let her win).

Photography Tutorial

Upon arrival, Isabella will give you a camera. This introduces an important collectible category in the game.

Camera Controls:

  • Use WASD keys to adjust both scale sliders until they turn yellow
  • Move the camera itself with your mouse until the lens indicator turns yellow
  • Take the photograph by clicking the left mouse button

You’ll add your first photo to the collection: “Temple Complex”

Combat Through the Ruins

Continue moving forward until a cutscene triggers. After the scene, take the car for a drive, then head toward the sound of gunfire. Navigate through the ruins while eliminating enemies until you reach the summit and another cutscene begins.

Items to Collect:

  • Various supply crates scattered along the path
  • Multiple chests containing dinari
  • One trinacria located at the summit on a table to the left

The Chase Sequence

A pursuit sequence will begin immediately after. Drive the car along the designated route while avoiding debris and fire hazards. When Enzo jumps onto a horse, follow suit and mount up. Use the left mouse button to shoot at enemies on horseback. Remember that you can still use bandages during the ride by pressing F—they apply instantly while moving.

Infiltrating the Messina Camp

After the cutscene, you’ll find yourself at the Messina camp.

Initial Area

Pick up the statuette to obtain the Fantasma bead talisman, which makes your footsteps quieter. You have two approach options: left or right side.

Left Path (Safer):

  • Only one enemy to deal with
  • Contains a chest with dinari

Right Path (More Dangerous but Rewarding):

  • Two bandits conversing near a note titled “The Owl’s Instructions”

The Large Cave

The marker leads through a spacious cave system containing several valuable items.

The cave features multiple dinari chests scattered throughout. Near the far entrance where the upper bandit camp is located, you’ll find a whetstone. On the second level of the cave, look for a crate with a newspaper note: “The Hunt for Messina.”

Climbing the Mountain

Once outside, head uphill. At the left turn, pass the tent ahead and pick up the Mysterious Fox collectible (2/50).

Look to the left for a crate containing a newspaper note: “Gennaro’s Acquisition.” Continue forward while dealing with enemies and searching for dinari chests along the way.

The Precision Rifle

One enemy will be equipped with a precision rifle. This weapon is extremely valuable as it can eliminate targets with a single well-placed shot to the chest. Make sure to pick up this weapon after defeating that enemy.

Rescuing Gennaro

When you reach Gennaro, look to the left and collect a statuette to obtain the Saint Apostle Thaddeus medallion talisman. This powerful item ensures that weapons taken from enemies come fully loaded with ammunition.

Untie Gennaro’s hands to free him. Next to him on a crate, you’ll find the note “Ransom Demand for Gennaro.”

Boss Fight: Messina

Climb higher and vault over the fence to trigger the final cutscene of the chapter. You’ll engage in a knife duel with Messina.

The combat mechanics remain consistent with previous encounters, with one notable exception: Messina frequently uses combination attacks with heavy strikes. Be prepared to dodge 2-3 times in succession to avoid his assault patterns.
