The Godfather II

The Godfather II platinum guide (PS3)

The Godfather II

PS3

Check your execution styles before taking out all the rival families. Businesses, robberies and many collectibles can be cleaned up, but a pacified city will not give you back the targets you need. Keep a save before the final stretch of expansion and use Don’s View to stay on top of your tasks.

Original PS3 release. All 42 trophies can be earned in the single-player campaign.

  • Base list: 42 trophies, including platinum.
  • Missables: Executions, contracts and orders against rival businesses.
  • Online play: No multiplayer trophies required.

Recruit specialists early

Check soldiers’ abilities before filling the family roster. A member who can crack safes is useful inside a business you have taken over; keep other specialists for raids and orders. Promote a member when the story opens that role, and track promotions instead of constantly replacing the whole crew.

  • Use Don’s View to check recruits, ranks and fortified businesses.

Send the orders before wiping out the rivals

While at least one rival family still operates, use Don’s View to send men to attack and bomb a business. These are separate orders: leading the assault yourself does not replace them. Before blowing up a family compound, check that you are done with opportunities tied to that area.

  • Verify Pulling The Strings and Torch The Joint before the ending.

Record contracts and executions when they count

For Contract Killer, learn the kill condition and follow it for five made men. For execution styles, use mobster targets and check the style list: weapon, position and context affect what registers. Practise while enemies are still available, before the final compound raids; civilians and police do not count as mobsters.

  • Do not finish taking over the map until you have checked every execution style.

Take over businesses in a trackable order

Work on one crime ring at a time. Check which venues belong to it and defend newly acquired businesses before moving on. One extortion and control of a whole ring are different milestones. If an area is still contested, return to the map and identify the venue holding up the ring.

  • Check Shakedown and Organized Crime separately: venues and complete crime rings both matter.

Check banks, safes and weapon upgrades

Clean up one district at a time. When you enter a bank, plan both the heist and your exit. When you control a building, check for a safe before leaving. Track level 2 and level 3 firearm upgrades separately, since finding one does not complete the collection.

  • After the story, check each bank and safe before looking for remaining weapon upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

What should I not leave until after the ending?

Finish executions, orders against rival venues and conditional kills before those opportunities disappear from the map.

Do bank heists require multiplayer?

No. They are campaign activities, and you can check the banks you still need after the story.

Is eliminating made men enough?

Not for Contract Killer: each of the five targets must be taken out using that contract’s required method.
