FUGG CHAPTER 14

[AtomStrange_]

(Killing Derek Papalardo - The Battle at the Docks/The Warehouse Fight)

Firstly, I'll just say that I was fine with the lack of autosaves up until this level. The autosave begins with the battle on the docks with the company of the useless Vinnie and his workers, after making my way into the warehouse I found the level is nearly impossible to beat, I've played it more times than I'd like to account for and have had to reluctantly put the game to the side out of pure RAGE and confidence that I'd probably end up breaking something I own like a teenager if I continued trying. Oh, and watching a walkthough on youtube didn't help, actually it made me even more enraged, as the guy that uploaded it fumbles through the warehouse with no skill, and beats the level I've been stuck on for weeks.

I'm sure anyone that's made it to Chapter 14 can relate.

After clearing the goons on the dock, and before entering the warehouse, jump in a car and drive off the docks into the water. Vito will drown and then respawn inside Derek's office on the second floor of the warehouse with the warehouse door closed. Continue the battle from the safe confines of the office. Then enjoy the rest of the game.

You just helped revive this game for me!!! Thanks a bunch, I did a lot of searching for solutions, but never saw this one, it happend slightly different than it did for you but it worked!!!

Drove off the dock, respawed on the dock, ran to the now closed warehouse door, ran upstairs and got into Derek's office!

[Razorbak86]

You're welcome. If you want to do it legit (e.g., second playthrough on Hard difficulty), you can drive the car to the back of the warehouse, and then pick off the goons much easier, without being cooked by Derek's Molotovs (since he'll be right above you on the balcony).

That was actually the method I went for, I think I really lost my cool during my last try before writing this post, I drove into the back and was shot dead before I could even get out. Sooo glad it's over! Even if I had to rely on a bug, the car off the dock advice is worth knowing.

i struggled there, too. My solution is to hide behind the barrels on the right side, and aim at the spot derek will apear, kill hin at first and the rest is business as usual

[danam22315]

That part of the game SHOULD have had a save point before you go into the warehouse.
I went into the warehouse, and hid behind the I-beam on the left side (next to the crates). I squatted down to avoid most of the fire. After taking out a couple of guys coming down the stairs, I found that you can take out Derek with the magnum when he sticks his head out every once in a while. But I always did like to do things the hard way!

Well you learn something new each day; i'll try that on my next playthrough.

You're welcome. Glad to help. I love this game, and I hate to see people quit so close to the end because of the difficulty spike in Chapter 14. I've completed the game on Hard on all three platforms, so I've played Chapter 14 many times.

[danam22315]

I just tried driving into the water. It works! I re-appeared on the dock, but I could enter Derek's Office door.

[Razorbak86]

Yeah, my memory of the specifics was a little off, as both Festero Doom and danam22315 have indicated. Vito respawns on the dock, with the warehouse door closed, but the door to Derek's office is now unlocked and can be entered.

Bottom line is the same, though: It's much easier to fight Derek and his goons from the confines of Derek's office on the 2nd floor than completely exposed down on the ground floor of the warehouse.

An easy way to kill Derek is to go immediately to your right when you enter the warehouse and stay behind the pylon. The molotovs can't reach that far and you can just pick off any goons who come at you with a tommy gun.

I played on hard and the game really wasn't that difficult, apart from the odd occasion. Quite enjoyable though.

I got hung up on this part for a while too. My approach was to run up stairs to the office, using the shotgun to clear the way. Take out everyone I can from the office, advance to the the catwalk cover, then magnum Derek from there. I might have to resort to the above method if I decide to do a Hard playthrough it sounds like...

[ソアピ-ちゃん]

I play on hard, en every chapter was a piece of cake. Ok, i died a few times, but it was ok. And now in the warehouse i am fighting since an hour! A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hour of dying and dying over and over again. Without this Level i would recommend Mafia II to all people i know. But this level is a piece of garbage and a slap in the face to everyone who is enjoying this game!

Don`t know, how i beat this game on the ps3 though...

[kitt]

The Diving into the Water did it for me.. i tried it around 15 time in various ways and died painful on Hard Difficulty..
