THE GODFATHER: THE GAME for the Xbox 360 FAQ written by David Nixon firstname.lastname@example.com Note: This is a walkthrough for the missions only. If you want a FULL guide, complete with pictures and everything, please visit www.mywiki360.com. ======== Intro ======== The game starts out with a short intro in which your father's bakery is blown up. You then play as your father long enough to beat up a few guys. To fight, hold LT to target your enemy and then move RS to attack. After beating up the guys, you will then go to a cutscene in which the attacking mobsters gun you down. You then see you as a kid and Don Corleone tells you to save your anger, that you will get revenge when the time comes. After this, you are given the chance to customize your appearance. ===================== The Price of Loyalty ===================== ''No Sicilian can refuse any request on his daughter's wedding day.'' ''Don Vito Corleone - The Godfather, head of the Corleone Family'' This is actually just a cutscene that you watch. Your mother Sarafina asks Don Corleone to help you out. He then sends Luca Brasi to help you. ========== The Alley ========== ''1945: Down on the Bowery life is tough. A good place to hide for a kid on the make - but when Luca Brasi comes looking for you, it's hard to stay lost...'' ''Luca Brasi - Feared Enforcer for the Corleone Family'' Respect: +500 Money: $500 When Luca finds you, you are getting beat up by some guys. He will then use those guys to teach you how to fight. Just follow Luca's on-screen instructions until the thugs' life meter appears, then keep pounding them till they're dead. After beating them up, look for a wooden crate nearby. Attack it repeatedly to break it. Inside will be a $1000 moneybag. For some reason, this isn't considered a "hidden bonus moneybag" but hey, it's still money. Next, walk alongside Luca until he stops, then press Y to talk to him. He will tell you about your map. You then get your first objective which is to find a certain Corleone safehouse. The safehouse is represented by a little green house on your map. Wait for Luca to open the gate, then walk out of it. Remember those thugs you just beat up? Well their friends want revenge. You will have to deal with them before you can do anything else. One of them will drive up and get out of the car. This is the one you need to take care of. Don't worry about the second guy, Luca will deal with him. After taking care of them, the cops will be on you, so steal a car quick and get to the safehouse. When you enter the safehouse, your next objective is to get to the save point and save your game. The save point is the bed upstairs. Go up the stairs and through the first door you see, then walk over to the bed and press Y to save your game. This will complete the mission. Your next objective is to go downstairs and answer the phone. Just walk up to the phone and press Y. The person calling will tell you to meet Luca outside. Walk to the blue circle in front of the door to start the next mission. ============ The Enforcer ============ ''Hassled by corrupt cops and the Tattaglias muscling in from Brooklyn, the Corleones are fighting to keep control of Little Italy. Time to learn what makes the world go 'round...'' ''Sergaent Galtosino - Corrupt cop bleeding Little Italy dry'' Respect: +750 Money: $1,000 After the cutscene, go up to Luca and talk to him. He will teach you the art of extortion. Your objective will then be to extort the butcher. Go into the butcher shop and talk to Emillio. He will ask why he should pay you. Show him why. His weak spot is property damage, so if you break some of his stuff, you'll get a weak spot bonus. You can get his payout up to about $700 before you've gone too far, but you'll have to inch the meter up slowly at the end to avoid overdoing it. Try grabbing him (but no attacking) to move the meter slowly. If the meter stops going up, you can let go and grab him again. After you think he's learned his lesson, press Y again to complete the extortion. Your next objective is to take over the racket upstairs. Head to the back and you will get your lesson on rackets. Then head upstairs and talk to the racket boss. He will let you buy out the racket for $400 without any convincing. Then head back downstairs. Go over to the table in front of the dead pigs and collect the $150 that is sitting there. Then go back into the shop. There will be a police officer in the doorway that you will need to bribe. Go up to him and press Y and you will bribe him $100. You will then get your lesson on "Heat". Then go back to Luca and return the money that you extorted from the butcher. This will complete the mission. Go to the Falconite club to meet Paulie Gatto. This will start the next mission. ================== A Grave Situation ================== ''No Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter's wedding day - and so the time arrives when Bonasera's request must be honored and his daughter avenged...'' ''Paulie Gatto - A Corleone 'made man' working for Capo Pete Clemenza'' ''Marty 'Monk' Malone - Irish-Italian wise guy with the Corleones'' Respect: +2,500 Money: $1,500 1 Moneybag: $2,000 Paulie and Marty "Monk" Malone will inform you that some punks beat up the undertaker's daughter and tell you to do the same to them. Follow Paulie and Monk and crouch down with B when they tell you to. When you get the college kids in your sights, run up to them. They'll run from you. Ignore the one in the blue shirt and chase the one with the red shirt into the graveyard. Before you do any fighting, run to the opposite corner of the graveyard and you'll find the hidden bonus moneybag there. Then come back and beat up the kid in the red shirt. Follow the on-screen instructions to learn some new fighting moves. You're under orders not to kill, but don't worry about that, the game won't let you. You actually need to beat the kid until his health is gone. Once you do that, you will have completed the mission. Talk to Monk. He will tell you to meet Luca at Bowery St. Go there to start the next mission. ========================= Sleeping With the Fishes ========================= ''Don Corleone, having refused to deal in narcotics with Sollozzo, knew reprisals would follow - so Luca is sent on an errand to 'join' with Sollozzo. ''Bruno Tattaglia - Underboss and son of Don Tattaglia'' ''Sollozzo - The 'Turk' helping the Tattaglias build a narcotics racket'' Respect: +3,500 Money: $2,000 1 Moneybag: $2,500 Follow Luca till he stops, then talk to him. He will give you a gun and teach you how to shoot. After you take out the first dummy, it may fall over and break the stack of boxes next to it. If it does not, step on the boxes to break them. They will collapse and you will collect the hidden bonus moneybag inside. Then go to the highlighted wall and follow Luca's shooting instructions on the next two dummies. Then press LB to go into free-aim mode and shoot the truck. After your lesson, drive Luca to the Luna Bar in Midtown. His meeting won't go too well and he'll be offed. Your next objective will be to get revenge on his assassin. You will have to kill a few of his henchmen first though. Crouch down behind one of the wooden crates and take out the first one. Then head to the back of the alley, but hide against the back of the highlighted wall before you get there and use it for cover to take out the next two men. If you want to get creative, use free-aim and blow up the burning barrel. Head up the stairs and open the door, then go in but immediately go back out (the next enemies won't appear till you go through the door). Use the wall for cover and take out the next two men. Go through the kitchen and through the next door. Take cover against the first wall you come to and take out the next two guys. Go down the hallway toward the new corpses, turn left, go down that hallway, then take cover against the wall to the right side of the doorway. Kill the final two guys there. Then turn back around, go down the hallway past the phone, and through the double doors on the left to exit the building. At this point, the police will be all over you, so steal a car and get back to the safehouse as quickly as you can. Once you do, it will complete the mission. After this, you will have to wait till 5:30 PM before you can start the next mission. You can use this time to take over some businesses and rackets. Once 5:30 rolls around, get to a phone to receive a call from Monk. He'll tell you to meet him at a barbershop. Go to the barbershop to start the next mission. =============== The Don is Dead =============== ''Luca sleeps with the fishes. Tom Hagen, Corleone Consigliere has disappeared. Can anyone stop the Tattaglias from destroying the Corleones?'' ''Sal Tessio - Corleone Capo, one of the Don's trusted old guards'' ''Pete Clemenza - Senior 'Capo Regime' for the Corleones, a real man of the streets'' Respect: +4,000 Money: $2,000 1 Moneybag:''' $3,000 The mission starts with an assassination attempt on Don Corleone. Monk's sister Frankie gets mixed up in the mess and your first objective is to save her. Crouch down under the windows in the barbershop and take out three of the Tattaglia henchmen. Two will already be out there, and the third will drive up in a black car from the left. Then go outside and to the right and take cover behind a car. A Tattaglia will have a gun to Frankie's head. Take him out with a headshot to save her. Your next objective is to follow the ambulance to the hospital. The path to the hospital will be blocked at first, so you will actually follow the ambulance in "circles" before it actually heads to the hospital. If you get too far behind, you can try taking "shortcuts" to catch up. For example, if the ambulance turns right, keep going straight - if the ambulance turns left again, you will now be much closer. The Tattaglias will chase you and blow up your car if you're not careful, so take them out any way you can - ram their cars into walls, other cars, etc. to get them off your tail. They will eventually stop the ambulance on the bridge and you will have to get out of your car to interrogate the Tattaglia Capo with the puppet symbol over his head. He will be behind a tan car on the left side of the bridge. Take out the other three Tattaglias first, then shoot the Capo in the knee to demobilize him. You will have to pressure him into talking, but be careful not to kill him while doing so. He will tell you where they are keeping Tom Hagen. After that, shoot up the tan car the Capo was behind to blow it up and reveal the hidden bonus moneybag. You must then get to the ambulance as quickly as you can and drive it to the hospital before the Don's health runs out. Once you get to the hospital, you will have completed the mission. After this, you will again have some time to kill before you get the phone call to start your next mission. When you do, you are told to meet Clemenza at his house in Brooklyn. When you get there, it will start the next mission. ===================== Tom is Still Missing ===================== ''Clemenza has discovered where Sollozzo is hiding Tom, but his motives are unclear. With Don Vito's recovery uncertain, a long shadow is cast over the fate of the Corleones.'' ''Tom Hagen - Don Vito's loyal Consigliere, a skilled negotiator'' Respect: +4,500 Money: $2,500 1 Moneybag: $4,000 The mission starts in front of the diner where Sollozzo is hiding Tom. Crouch down and follow Clemenza and Rocco. Don't go ahead of Clemenza or you will be spotted by the Tattaglia guards. When Clemenza tells you, creep up to the first guard and strangle him. To strangle, you must first grab hold of your enemy by pressing LT + RT - then while still holding those down, press and hold LS (click) + RS (click) until your enemy is dead. After taking out the first guy, continue to creep forward around the boxes, and strangle the next two guards. You must kill these guys by strangulation or you will make too much noise and your cover will be blown. After all three guards have been strangled, you can then stand up and sprint forward until you get to the blue marker. After the cutscene, crouch down and go through the hole in the fence. Then run over to the boxes in front of you and to the left. Break them to reveal the hidden bonus moneybag. Then take out a gun and join Clemenza and Rocco to the right. Take cover and kill the Tattaglias. Continue to progress forward slowly and cautiously, taking cover and killing the guards when they appear. Make sure to collect all the ammo from your victims or you may find yourself having to fight firearms with a bat. When all the guards are dead, take cover behind the wall on the right and slide your way to the left to peer around the corner. You will see a Tattaglia with a gun to Tom's head. Take him out with a headshot to save Tom. After the cutscene, drive Tom and Clemenza to the Corleone Compound and park at the blue marker. This will complete the mission. When you get out of your car, you will see a guy with the puppet symbol over his head. Talk to him, then go to the blue marker where you will find the entrance to the main building. Go inside and go to the blue circle on your map. Tom Hagen will be there. Talk to him. Congratulations! You are now an Enforcer for the Corleone Family. You are rewarded with +5,000 respect and $7,500 bucks. Turn around and you will see another guy with the puppet symbol. Talk to him and he will tell you to meet Clemenza at the Falconite. When you exit the building, you'll find Sal Tessio in the doorway. Now that you're officially part of the family, he'll have a job for you. Talk to him if you want to get your first hit contract, otherwise just come back to him later. You'll also see Sonny Corleone next to a truck. Talk to him for a little advice on being an Enforcer. Now head on over to the Falconite and talk to Clemenza. He'll tell you that the Don is still in bad shape and request that you go to the hospital to keep an eye on things. After you talk to him, you'll see another guy who wants to talk to you. Talk to him and he'll give you the scoop on racket trucks. After that, there will be yet another guy who wants to talk to you! Talk to him and you will get your lesson on the five families and the five neighborhoods. Your sudden burst of popularity doesn't end there. As you leave you'll run into another three guys who have something to say. They'll each jus say something about one of the rival families. Once you exit, the guy outside will inform you that Sollozzo will probably make another attempt on the Don's life. What are you doing standing around and talking for? Get to the hospital! Once you do, it will start the next mission. ============== Intensive Care ============== ''The hospital is deserted - Tessio's men have been sent away, and only a few guards remain. Inside, Don Vito lies helpless to the destiny that awaits him.. ''Frances 'Frankie' Malone - Monk's sister. Is she just another temptation?'' Respect: +6,000 Money: $5,000 1 Moneybag: $2,000 You've been sent to the hospital for guard duty. Better go inside and check things out. The first thing you'll need to do is to check in with the security guard so that he'll unlock the door for you. Unfortunately, he will also take away all your weapons (you get them back when the mission is over). Next, you need to find Monk's room. Go up the stairs, turn left, and go down the hall and through the double doors. Talk to Frankie. As you're talking, you'll hear a noise. Someone has come to assassinate the Don! He is in the opposite room that you can see through the glass window. Crouch down and go over to that door. Open it, wait for him to come through, and then strangle or beat him to death. Collect his pistol. After the cutscene, your next objective is to clear the basement of assassins. Go forward a little, turn to the right, and go down the stairs. Then turn left. There will be a room up ahead to the right and, beyond that, stairs to the left. Go in the room first and collect the shotgun, then go down the stairs. You'll see some more Tattaglias through the locked double doors. Turn left and go through those double doors. Wait for a second and an enemy will approach you from the right. This one will be unarmed, so you may want to fight him hand to hand to conserve ammo. Now go to the right where he just came from and take cover on the wall next to the double doors. There will be an enemy in the room, so take out your weapon, open the doors and blast him away. Then go to the left side of the hallway where there is an indentation in the wall and take cover there. There will be enemies down the hall, so use your cover to rub them out. Then go down the hall, turn right, and repeat (take cover on the left and shoot the enemies down the hall). Then go down that hall a bit and take cover on the wall to the right, on the right side of the entranceway. Use that for cover and take care of the next batch of Tattaglia scum. If you need it, there is a health bottle in the first room to the right. Now go down the hallway carefully, taking cover wherever you can and taking out any enemies that appear. Go to the end of the hall, but instead of going through the double doors in front of you, go into the last room on the left. Go to the left side of the window and take cover there. Finish off the last of the assassins in the next room. Frankie will then run by and go into that room. Go in there and talk to her. She'll get into the ambulance to go find Tom Hagen for help. After the cutscene, go back out of the room, then to the left up the stairs. Take cover on the wall to the right and go to the edge. There will be another two Tattaglias for you to send to hell. After they are dead, Michael will run into the hall ahead of you. DON'T TALK TO HIM YET! Go up the stairs to the right of him, then make a left and a right into the Don's room. The hidden bonus moneybag will be in his room. Now you can go back down the stairs and talk to Michael. After the cutscene, the mission will be complete. Once you leave the hospital, you will see a Corleone up ahead to the left who wants to talk to you. He will tell you to meet Clemenza at a tailor shop on Mulberry. Go to the tailor shop and talk to good ol' Petey. He will tell you about a New Year's Eve party going on at Rosa's that evening. Then talk to Jaggy Jovino. He'll tell you about weapon upgrades. Next, talk to Michael. He'll give you the scoop on doing favors for people. Now, get on over to Rosa's and get your party on! This will start the next mission. ========= Fireworks ========= ''Despite pressure from corrupt local cops, Rosa fronts a Corleone brothel out of her Flower shop. It's New Year's Eve and Frankie's out of town...'' ''Sergaent Galtosino - Overconfident with corrupt power'' Respect: +7,500 Money: $7,500 4 Moneybags: $5,000 Go into Rosa's shop and talk to her. Then go through the door to the back and talk to the guy there. He will tell you that Monk was asking to see you. Go up the stairs and talk to Monk, Paulie, and Sonny. Sonny will be in a separate room. Then go back into the main room and wait for the cutscene. Then go back downstairs and bribe the cop to let you out. Go outside and go to the alley to the left. You'll have to sneak through the alley and kill each of the cops quietly. Crouch down, sneak up to the first cop, and strangle him. He'll drop a garrote wire that you can use on the next two. Take out the wire then sneak forward. Take cover whenever you get the chance. When you are sure the coast is clear, move on to the next hiding spot. Do this until you see the next cop. When you get the chance, sneak up behind him and press and hold LT + RT to strangle him with the garrote wire. You don't have to be directly behind your victim to use it, you can be a couple steps away. But you must be behind him for it to work, so if you're spotted, put away the wire so you can grab and strangle him with your hands. Now there will be just one cop left, at the end of the alley. Hide behind the last set of walls before you reach him. Wait there for a bit. He will eventually turn and walk over to the door to the right. Now sneak up behind him and strangle him. Take out a firearm and go through the door. Go down the hall and through that door. There won't be anywhere for you to take cover, so you'll have to come out firing. There will be two cops right in front of you, and a third across the room behind the boxes. After giving them early retirement, go up the stairs. You will see Rosa and Sergaent Galtosino running away. Talk to Rosa, then go after Galtosino. Go through the door, to the left, and then into the elevator on the left. Go out onto the roof and shoot Galtosino in the knee to demobilize for a bit. Then break all the crates to reveal four hidden bonus moneybags! Make sure you don't miss the one in the crate near the elevator. Now, go to Galtosino and start getting some revenge on him with your fists. Weaken him till his health is low, but be careful not to kill him yet. This will make him easier to grab and drag. Grab onto him and if he is on his knees, press LS down to stand him on his feet. Now use LS to drag him to the ledge, and, if necessary, RS to get his back to the ledge. Press LS up to hold him over the ledge and then press it again to throw him over. After the cutscene, the mission will be complete. Go back down the elevator and talk to Rosa. She'll tell you to go back to the compound and act as if nothing has happened. Do just that and head to the front door where the blue marker is. Talk to Clemenza and he'll give you some advice about bribing cops. Go inside and walk into the blue circle. There will be a cutscene in which you are promoted to Associate. You get a +10,000 respect bonus and $7,500 dollars. Go back out the front door and talk to the guy in the black jacket. He will tell you to meet Clemenza at his house in Brooklyn. Next, talk to Jaggy and he'll tell you about taking down warehouses. Now go to Clemenza's house. This will start the next mission. ==================== Death to the Traitor ==================== ''1946: With Don Vito still recovering, Sonny Corleone has a hunch about who betrayed the Godfather. He orders Clemenza to get the job done.'' ''Paulie Gatto - About to learn the price of disloyalty'' Respect: +17,000 Money: $10,000 10 Moneybags: $20,000 The first order of business is to get some weapons that Clemenza hid on the second floor of a restaurant. Go into the restuarant, through the door in the back, and up the stairs. Collect the bomb and other weapons. You'll hear some Tattaglias threatening the shop owner. Take cover on the wall and shoot down at them. When they're dead, go downstairs and talk to the shop owner. He'll tell you that he has something for you. Follow him back upstairs and he will unlock the door up there. Go through the door and collect the items in there. Then go back downstairs and out of the shop and talk to Clemenza. He'll tell you to plant the bomb on the second floor of the shop you're about to go to. Then follow him and Paulie to the shop. Crouch down and enter the shop. There will be two guys behind the bar and a third to the right of the bar. Kill those guys, then go through the double doors to the right of the bar. There will be a room on the left. As you approach the door, a Tattaglia will emerge, so be ready to gun him down. If you need health, there is a health bottle in the room. Then go up the stairs, but be cautious because a Tattaglia will try to surprise you as you go up them. Then turn left and run to the large entranceway. Take cover to the right of it, and take out the three enemies inside the room. Then plant the bomb as close to the entranceway as you can. Once you plant the bomb, run as quickly as you can out of the room and to the doorway on the left. The door will open and a Tattaglia will emerge. Ignore him and run as quick as you can into the room. There you will find ten hidden bonus moneybags! Collect them as fast as you can. Then run downstairs and out of the building before the bomb goes off. After the cutscene, follow Paulie into the railyard, but take it slow. He will shoot boxes of explosives and blow them up as you approach them. Eventually you will corner him. Just keep low and take him out whenever you have the chance. After the cutscene, you will need to outrun the police. Ram them off the road and into objects whenever they approach. As you get near the safehouse, be sure not to turn left too early. You will need to get to the safehouse from the rear, so go to the absolute end of the street before turning left. After you do, you will see a row of blue arrows pointing you left into the alley behind the safehouse. Turn left there and park the car in the blue area. This will complete the mission. Talk to Clemenza and he'll tell you that Paulie's safehouse in now yours. Then talk to the guy behind him. He'll tell you to lay low for a while and that they'll call you when they need you. Use this time to extort some businesses, hijack some racket trucks, or whatever else you want. After a while, you will get a notice to check the phones. Get to the nearest phone and you will get a call from Clemenza. He will tell you to acquire a time bomb and then to meet him at a warehouse in Midtown. First, go to the blue circle on your map to buy the bomb from the black market merchant that is there. Then meet Clemenza at the warehouse. This will start the next mission. ================ Special Delivery ================ ''Sollozzo is exploiting the chaos within the Corleone Family, and has started up a drug smuggling operation in Midtown. Clemenza has a plan to strike back. ''Virgil Sollozzo - Smuggling narcotics and forcing the Corleones to take sides'' Respect: +10,000 Money: $10,000 1 Moneybag: $14,500 The first thing you need to do is to hijack a racket truck. Steal a car, then go to the blue X on your map. It represents the closest racket truck. Taking over a truck during this mission is a bit more difficult than normal. Keep ramming the truck with your car, or if you can, get out and fire a weapon at it. After it takes enough damage, it will finally stop and the driver will get out. Beat him down until he's ready to listen, then interrogate him to get his keys. Get in the truck and drive it to Corcoran's Perch. After the cutscene, drive back to the warehouse and pull into the blue spot. They'll open the gates for you. Then drive through the gates and into the next blue spot. After getting out of the truck, go up the stairs of the building on the right. Don't worry about the enemies on the ground, Clemenza and the crew can take care of them. When you go up the stairs, turn to the right and break the crate there to reveal the hidden bonus moneybag. Collect it, then go into the door. There will be about four Tattaglias below you. Go to the left and take cover behind the box with the Molotov on it. Take out as many enemies as you can from there, then head to the other side of the building, shooting down at anyone remaining. Go down the stairs, plant the bomb as close as you can to them, then run back up them and out the door on that side. Cross over to the other building now, taking out any enemies along the way. Take cover to the left of the door, open it, and take out the Tattaglia standing across from you, and one below you. Then go inside and down the stairs, firing at anyone below. Then take cover, and take out anyone remaining. Plant the bomb as close to the stairs as you can, then run back up them and out of the building. You will now have to get more bombs from the truck. Go down the stairs and to the left side of the truck to collect the bombs. Now go to the left side of the last remaining building. Take cover by the door, open it, and take out anyone inside. Then go through the door and take cover behind the boxes to the right. Take out the guy in the room across the way. Then go up the stairs and to the left and take out the guy in that room. If you need health, there is a health bottle in the room on the other side of the stairs. Otherwise, plant the bomb, run down the stairs and out of the building. Now go talk to Clemenza. This will complete the mission. Go to Corcoran's Perch and talk to Monk. He'll tell you to go see Tom at the Compound. Go to the Compound and go in the front door. Walk over to Tom. This will start the next mission. ========== Horseplay ========== ''Jack Woltz is blackballing Don Vito's godson, the famous singer Johnny Fontane. Tom Hagen is sent to deal with Woltz and make him an offer he can't refuse...'' ''Jack Woltz - Big shot movie mogul daring to cross the Corleones'' Respect: +12,500 Money: $15,000 1 Moneybag: $20,000 Time to show Woltz what happens when you mess with the Corleones. Crouch down and stay behind Rocco. Don't go anywhere till he does first. Eventually you'll get to the stables. Go to the blue marker and wait for Rocco. When he tells you to stand guard, head back to the entrance of the stables. After the cutscene, a guard will come running in. Strangle him before he alerts the other guards. Your next objective is to deliver the "package" to Woltz's room. Head out of the stables and up the stairs. There will be a guard at the top. Sneak up behind him and strangle him with the garrote wire. Then head to the left, up the stairs, and through the door into the kitchen. Wait for the butler to leave, then go through the large entrance to the right of where the butler went. To the right will be a smaller doorway with a guard just beyond it. Garrote him then go up the big spiral staircase and garrote the guard at the top. Go to the left of the door and wait for the maid to disappear into the next room. Then go down the hall and wait to the right of the next doorway for the maid and guard to finish talking and for the maid to go off to the right. Then creep down the hall and garrote that guard. Then turn to the right and open the door directly ahead. Don't try to kill the guard there or you will be spotted by the guards below. Just creep to the left, collect the hidden bonus moneybag, turn around, and go back out the door. Now go down the hallway to the blue marker and just wait there for Rocco. When he gets there, there will be a cutscene and the mission will be complete. After the mission, you find yourself back in a room in Corcoran's Perch. Go out the door and talk to Rocco. He'll tell you to meet Tom at Chateau Leive in Midtown. Then talk to the guy in the black jacket. He'll advise you to purchase weapon upgrades. Now go to the Chateau Lieve and talk to Tom. He'll inform you that the family is giving you the apartment there as a token of gratitude. He also says to meet him at the Compound when you get a chance. Go in the apartment and talk to Frankie. Then go downstairs and talk to Jaggy. He'll advise you to take down the Verona Warehouse. Go outside and talk to the guy there. He'll give you a hint about what the next mission will be. Now head to the Compound. When you walk up to the front door, the next mission will start. ===================== A Recipe for Revenge ===================== ''The streets are full of tension: Sollozzo and his dirty cop McCluskey call a meeting...'' ''Michael Corleone - The prodigal son struggling with his destiny'' Respect: +15,000 Money: $20,000 5 Moneybags: $5,000 Talk to Clemenza to get more instructions about your mission. Then get in a car and drive over to Louis' Restaurant. You have three minutes to get there which should be plenty of time. When you get there, park your car in the blue spot. The game will fade out, then fade back in with you out of the car and facing the alley where you need to go. Hide just to the left of the alley to get a safe peek at the situation. You'll see a Tattaglia standing guard. Take out your garrote wire, sneak up behind the guard, and strangle him with it. Sneak further down the alley and do the same to the next guard. If you're spotted too early to use the garrote, go to plan B and strangle him with your hands. That will be the last of the guards, so you can run to the back now where you will find a worker. Pressure him into unlocking the door for you. Go into the kitchen, through the doors, and to the right. Go into the bathroom and to the blue marker. After the cutscene, you will find yourself in the restaurant surrounded by Tattaglias. Blow them away as quickly as possible, then go into the door on the left (when facing the front of the restaurant). Go up the stairs and collect the five hidden bonus moneybags. Then come back down, out the front door, and get to the car Michael is in to the right. Be careful cause there will be tons of Tattaglias outside. You're probably best off just sprinting to the car as soon as you get outside. Once you're in the car, you will need to drive Michael to the docks. Like the other car chases, you'll have to ram your pursuers off the road. Also, make sure you go north enough before turning left, or you'll find yourself driving to New Jersey under the road you want to get to. When you get to the docks, park in the blue spot. This will complete the mission. Walk over to the guy in black and talk to him. He'll tell you that the Family is gathering at the Falconite. Go there and talk to Tom Hagen. He'll inform you that you are becoming a "made man" and being promoted to Soldier. Now walk into the blue circle and it will begin the cutscene in which you are officially brought into the Family and promoted to Soldier. You will receive a +15,000 respect bonus and $25,000 dollars. Now walk over to Don Vito and talk to him. He'll give you an odd little speech. Now head to the exit. If you're in the mood for a hit contract, talk to Clemenza. Otherwise, head outside and across the street and talk to the guy in black. He'll tell you that Frankie is looking for you. Go to your apartment in Midtown. Walk into the blue circle in front of the door to the apartment and it will start the next mission. ================== Now It's Personal ================== ''1950: A 'made man' on the rise and bringing in the dough, could life be better? The Family is impressed, and rumor has it Sonny has plans for you...'' ''Frankie Malone - Tough, beautiful, and all yours'' Respect: +17,500 Money: $30,000 3 Moneybags: $5,000 You and Frankie are just about to christen the new apartment when a bunch of Tattaglias pull up outside. Frankie runs away to try and escape but with no luck. Crouch down and head to the cabinets right in front of the door to get some cover. A thug will run in almost immediately, before you even get to cover, so be prepared. There will be a second guy right after him. Go out the door and proceed down the stairs carefully, taking cover before every turn. There will be two more enemies before you reach the bottom. Turn right and go through the door ahead. Pressure the Tattaglia in the room to talk. He will tell you that they are taking Frankie to an old church. Kill him, then go to the phone in the lobby and call Monk. Go outside, steal a car, and go pick up Monk. Then drive to the church where they are keeping Frankie. You will have Tattaglias pursuing you, so do what you can to shake them. When you get to the church, after parking in the blue spot, go to the right into the graveyard. In the small stone structure you will find the three hidden bonus moneybags. Now go around to the left side of the building and down the stairs into the basement of the church. Proceed through the basement carefully, taking cover at every turn and peering around the corner for enemies. Be especially careful when leaving the larger room with lots of enemies. In the hallway beyond that room are recessions into the walls on either side. There is an enemy hiding in the one on the left. There are two more hiding in the stairwell ahead. After going up the stairs and watching the cutscene, the mission will be complete. Be careful when you leave the church. There will still be some Tattaglias hanging around outside. Hop into the nearest car and hightail it to Stromboli's in Hell's Kitchen. Walk into the blue circle to the east of the shop to start the next mission. ================== The Silent Witness ================== ''It was Bruno Tattaglia who killed Frankie and he must pay. Sonny has a lead, and there are plans to take revenge...'' ''Bruno Tattaglia - Gone into hiding following Frankie's murder'' Respect: +20,000 Money: $35,000 1 Moneybag: $7,500 Go up to the guy in black and talk to him. He will tell you that Sonny is inside the building waiting for you. Go in the building, through the hallway, into the large room, and up the stairs. Sonny will be there. Talk to him. Then go into the room next to him and pressure the Tattaglia there into talking. Be careful when building the pressure, because the thug's talking point is very close to his breaking point. He won't actually give you any information but Sonny has an idea to make him useful anyway. He throws him out of the second story, figuring that Bruno will attend his funeral. So your next objective is to drive to the funeral home in Midtown. Drive there and park in the blue spot. Then, with your back to the funeral home, cross the street and go to the right. You will get a warning telling you that you are almost exiting the mission boundaries. Keep going a little further anyway until you see a nook to your left with a burning barrel in it. Behind the barrel is the hidden bonus moneybag. You must collect it after parking in the blue spot. It won't be there before. Now head back to the funeral home. Facing towards the building, take cover behind the wall to the left. Then peer around the corner towards the entrance and pop the two Tattaglias there standing guard. Then go up the steps to the front door and take cover on either side of it. Open the door and take out the Tattaglia in the room there. Then crouch down, go inside, and take out the Tattaglia in the room to the right. Then turn around, go into the hallway ahead, turn left and take cover next to the door. Then take out the guy in that room. If you need health, there is a health bottle in that room as well. No go out of that room and straight ahead, then to the left to find the garage. Take cover by that entrance and take out the thug in there. All the enemies should be dead now which unlocks the elevator. Now head back in the building and go into the elevator. When you reach the bottom, you will automatically walk forward and Bruno Tattaglia will knock you down and taunt you. He will then run into the other half of the room. Take cover behind the walls and take out his henchmen. You must throw Bruno into the furnace or you will fail the mission. So pop one in his kneecap to demobilize him. Then go up to him and beat him with your fists until his health is low. Then grab him and press LS down to stand him on his feet. Drag him to one of the furnaces, then press RS up to lean him into it. Press it again to throw him in. This will complete the mission. After the mission, you'll have to wait a while again before you can start the next one. Use this time to do other things like taking over businesses, rackets, and warehouses. Eventually Sonny will call you and tell you to meet him at the compound. Head over to the compound. As you approach it, a black car will come speeding in front of you from the left and cut you off. It's the Cuneos and they're headed for the compound! Drive to the back of the compound and take cover behind the walls next to the health bottle. Keep blasting away at the thugs until there are no more. If you get low on health just grab the bottle that you cleverly took refuge next to. Now go into the back building where the blue marker is and talk to Sonny. He'll tell you to go to Lucy's in Midtown. Now talk to Jaggy. He'll tell you about taking over compounds. Go outside and talk to the Corleone out there. Now go to Lucy's and walk into the blue circle in front of the building. This will start the next mission. =========== Sonny's War =========== ''Sonny takes the war to the streets, aggressively expanding the 'empire'. A terror on the streets, Sonny must also take care of the Family at home...'' ''Sonny Corleone - Don Vito's brutal heir apparent'' Respect: +30,000
Money: $40,000
10 Moneybags: $10,000 After the cutscene, talk to Sonny. Then get in the car and drive to the Cuneo bar. Park in the blue area in front of the building. Take out your gun, go through the front door, then take cover behind the wall to the right. Take out the guys down the hall. Then turn left and go through the door just to the right of the front door. Go down the stairs and take out the two guys at the bottom. Then go down the hall and take cover to the left of the door. Open the door, go into free-aim mode, and shoot one of the explosive boxes. Then go into the room, through it, and into the next room. Pressure the Cuneo in there till he talks. Then go into the next room and up the elevator. Go forward then to the left and down the hall. Shoot the Cuneo that Sonny is fighting with, then get in the car. Chase the racket boss and avoid the Cuneos that chase you. Follow him to the building in the railyard. Then get out, duck down, and shoot the two enemies through the window. Go into the building and through the door on the left. Go forward, to the right, and through that door. Take out the guy straight ahead first, then turn to the right and use the boxes for cover to take out the next guy. Then go up the stairs to the blue marker. After the cutscene, go out of the room, then into the door on the left. Go down the hall, then turn left, then go into the elevator on the left. On the roof you will find the ten hidden bonus moneybags. Collect them then go back down the elevator and head to back to the front door. Go out of the building and get in the car with Sonny. Now drive to the docks and park in the blue spot. Head towards the warehouse and take out the Cuneos on the way. Stay behind cover and shoot the burning barrels for some extra firepower. When you get to the door of the warehouse, take cover to the left of it, open it and shoot all the guys you can from there. Then go in and take out the rest of the guys. Find the warehouse boss and pressure him into letting you take it over. After the cutscene, the mission will be complete. Talk to the guy in black. He'll tell you to meet Sonny back at the compound. Drive to the compound and walk into the blue circle. This will start the next mission. =============== Change of Plans =============== ''Sonny has put Carlo in his place, and is guiding operations with a mighty fist. The Tattaglias are in ruins, but they still fight on - whose bloody hand is secretly controlling them?'' ''Don Vito - Recovering but ready to pass the reins'' Respect: +40,000
Money: $45,000
3 Moneybags: $15,000 Sonny will suddenly run to his car and speed off. You must follow him quickly. Don't worry about talking to Tom or the other Corleone there...you need to jump in a car and chase him immediately. If he gets too far ahead you will fail the mission. Once you near the tolls, it will start a cutscene and Sonny will be no more. Your next objective is to follow the assassins. Speed up to the toll booths then slam on your brakes when you get there. Get out of the car and go into the toll booth on the right. There you will find the three hidden bonus moneybags. Now get back in your car and floor it. Collecting the moneybags and successfully chasing the assassins is probably the hardest objective of the whole game, so don't get too frustrated when you must attempt it several times. It's difficult because you can't let the assassins get too far away, but collecting the money burns a lot of time, plus you are going to have to contend with people chasing you and knocking you off the road and slowing you down. Like always, you must simply do your best to knock them into obstacles before they do the same to you or blow your car up. Follow the assassins to their warehouse and park just in front of the entrance. Your next objective is to find the tollbooth attendant that helped in Sonny's hit. Take cover behind the small room with the window on either side of the entrance. Fire into the warehouse and take out all the guys you can from there. Then progress towards the back, taking cover behind the boxes and taking out any remaining enemies. On the left side there will be a break in the fence that you can go through. Take out the two guys behind it, then proceed into the building ahead. Go inside and up the stairs. If you need health, go to the left when you reach the top of the stairs to find a health bottle. Otherwise, turn right to find another enemy and the toll booth guy. Take out the enemy, then talk to the toll booth guy. He'll tell you that the assassins went to a club on the west side. Your next objective is to drive to that club which is the Tunnel Club in Hell's Kitchen. Leave the warehouse and steal the first car you can find. You have five minutes to get to the club which is plenty of time. Just use your map and you'll do fine. Park in the blue spot in front of the club. Hide behind your car and take out the Tattaglia guarding the entrance. Then go inside and start shooting as you find some cover. Take out all the enemies in the front room. Then take cover next to one of the doors leading into the actual club and take out the enemies in that room from there. Then go in the door and go all the way to the right and into that room to collect the health bottle if you need it. Then go back into the main club room and head towards the back and the right. You will find an entranceway leading into a room with stairs. Go down the stairs and through the door at the bottom. Use the boxes on the left for cover and kill what enemies you can from there. Then progress further into the room and use the columns for cover to kill the rest of the enemies. Once they are all dead, the door you need to go through will be unlocked and a blue marker will appear above it. Go into that room and talk to the Tattaglia there. Then talk to his woman to convince him to tell you what you want to know. Then talk to him again and he'll tell you that it is Don Barzini that is controlling the Tattaglias. Your next objective is to return to the Corleone Compound. You will have five minutes to do so. Leave the room and if you need health, go to the room straight ahead to collect the health bottle. Now leave the club and drive to the compound. Head up to the front door and it will start a cutscene. After the cutscene, the mission will be complete. After the mission is complete, go to the Corleone Compound and talk to Michael. He will promote you to Capo. You get a +50,000 respect bonus and $50,000 dollars. Then talk to Michael again. He will tell you that the FBI is doing an investigation in Little Italy. You are to meet up with Monk near the Bowery hotel on Pitt St. and find out what the FBI knows and who they are talking to. When you get there, you'll see a blue circle. Walk into it to begin the next mission. ============= Order to Kill ============= ''1955: With Michael in charge and ready for revenge, Don Vito's negotiated peace with the Five Families is fragile and everyone is on edge...'' ''Monk - Frustrated by his outsider status'' Respect: +75,000 Money: $50,000 5 Moneybags: $5,000 After talking to Monk, head forward a little then turn left and you should see the hidden bonus moneybags hiding behind a wall. Collect them, then turn back and follow Monk to the hotel. Take cover next to the door, open it, and blast the guys inside. Then go in and up the stairs to the first landing. Turn the corner to the next flight of stairs and take out the Barzini there first so he doesn't surprise you from behind. Then turn around and take cover between the doors and fire through the right doorway at the guy behind the counter. When he's dead, go into the room, then turn right, and take cover to the left of the door you see there. Open the door and kill the guy inside. If you need health, there is a health bottle on the counter behind you. Now leave the room and proceed up the stairs again. Take cover before each turn to check for enemies. Take cover to the left of the final set of steps so you can fire into the room ahead from there. Then go up the steps and take cover between the doors and fire at the enemies inside from both doorways. When you've done all you can do from there, go inside and take out anyone else remaining. Facing the doors from inside the room, if you go through the door all the way to the left, you will find a health bottle and some ammo. Now leave the room and go up the stairs again to the fourth floor and walk to where the blue marker is. There will be a cutscene in which Monk kills a Fed and you find out that Monk has become an informant against the Corleones. Monk's dirty so you'll have to kill him, friend or no friend. Talk to Jimmy if you want, then run down all the stairs and out of the hotel to chase Monk. Steal a car and go to the Va Va Voom Room where he's run off to. Talk to him. He'll then run off again and some Cuneos will come after you. Kill them, then run up the stairs ahead. Stop when you get to the top of the stairs and crouch down. You should be able to kill a few Cuneos from there. Then go across to the opposite corner of the room and go down the stairs there. Take a left, then take cover to the left of the first door on the left. There will be several Cuneos in that room, along with Monk. Take out all the Cuneos, then kill Monk. Once you do, leave the building and the mission will be complete. Talk to the guy in black. He'll tell you that Tom urgently needs you back at the compound. Go there and talk to Tom. Turns out Sal Tessio turned traitor as well. You're to meet with Willie Cicci in Brooklyn to get further orders. When you walk up to him, it will start the next mission. ================== It's Only Business ================== ''With the death of Don Vito the Corleones appear weak. Tessio approaches Michael with a deal from Barzini as the old Don predicted: the one with the deal would be the traitor...'' ''Tessio - Scheming for his future as the Family weakens'' Respect: +80,000 Money: $50,000 1 Moneybag: $10,000 Follow Willie and Tessio into the club. When people start shooting from ahead, run off immediately to the right. There will be an enemy down that hall and just to the left, so be careful, and take him out. Then crouch down and kill the enemy behind the bar. Then run across the room to the double doors. Crouch down, open the doors, then immediately turn left as you go out, and kill the guys ahead. Then turn around and go down the elevator. Go out of the elevator and to the door. Kill the two Barzinis in the next room and collect the health. Then go to the next door, crouch down, and go inside. Kill the enemy hiding behind the table and the counterfeiting machines. Bust the crate in the corner to the right to collect the hidden bonus moneybag. Now go through the next door and take cover behind the wall to the right. Kill the Barzini that's just around the corner. Now go down the hall, turn left, and go up the stairs. Take cover to the left of the doorway, then kill the enemy beyond it. Go down the hall and up the small set of steps and kill the guy in the doorway. Then go into the room and kill the other two Barzinis there. Tessio will come out of his hiding spot and plead with you. Kill him and the mission will be complete. Go outside and talk to the guy in black. He'll tell you that Michael will probably be calling you soon. It actually takes a while before he calls, so go ahead and take care of whatever other business you want to take care of. When you do get the call, Michael will tell you to meet Fredo at the Peak Hotel in Midtown and to bring dynamite. Purchase some dynamite if you don't already have some, then go to the Peak Hotel. Go up to the third floor and talk to the guy in the blue circle. This will start the next mission. ============== A Royal Flush ============== ''Casino mogul Moe Green has prospered under the Corleone's protection. But his growing power stands in the way of Michael's ambitions in Las Vegas...'' ''Fredo Corleone - Michael's brother, learning the casino business from Moe Green'' Respect: +100,000 Money: $50,000 3 Moneybags: $15,000 Go out of the room and talk to Michael. Then go down to the second floor. Go up to the hotel worker in red, then turn left and go into the room ahead. There you will find the three hidden bonus moneybags. Now go back and pressure the hotel worker into talking. He will tell you the password to get into the casino racket downstairs. Take the stairs all the way to the bottom and talk to the guy there. He will let you in. Go down the hall into the large room overlooking the main room. Go down the stairs that are somewhat hidden all the way to the left. Go into the next room, turn left, and talk to the security guard there. Then turn around and talk to the other security guard with the symbol over his head. Then jump over the divider, plant dynamite at the vault, then jump back over the divider. Take out a few security guards, then go back to the vault and collect the dough. Go back to the divider, but before you jump over it, use it for cover to kill all the security guards you can, including those above on the next floor. Then leap over and make your way back to the staircase carefully, taking out any remaining security guards. Go up the stairs, then take cover behind the wall at the top. Using the cover, kill the security guards in the next room. Then go into the room, turn right, and go down the hallway to the elevator. Take the elevator up to the main floor. Run out of the building quickly because there will be police waiting for you there. Run away from them as quickly as possible and steal the first car you can find. Then hightail it to the safehouse marked by the blue X on your map. Go inside and talk to Michael and Clemenza. They have a patrol car waiting for you out back. Take the car to the place marked on your map. You have to be careful when driving it because if you take out any pedestrians or crash into things, your cover will be blown. Park the car in the back, then go through the back door. Crouch down and sneak up behind the security guard and use the garrote wire on him. Then turn to the left and walk to the corner of the wall carefully. Wait for the other guard to go up the stairs, then sneak up behind him and do the same thing. Then go up the stairs and do the same thing to the next guard. Now take out a gun, crouch down, and go into the room behind you. Moe Green will be laying on a table getting a massage. Shoot him in the head, then head back downstairs. There will be some more security guards at the bottom, so watch out. Kill them, then go back out the back door. There will be another security guard out there, so watch out for him too. Get in the police car again and outrun the cops to Corcoran's Perch. Go in there and talk to Clemenza. This will complete the mission. After the mission, you will need to meet Michael at the baptism in Little Italy. Go to the church where it's being held and walk into the blue circle out front. This will start the next mission. =============== Baptism by Fire =============== ''...on the day of the Baptism, it has begun. With Tessio and Moe Green dead, Michael makes demands on Family loyalty like never before. Now is the hour... ''Al Neri - Michael's most trusted confidant'' Respect: +175,000
Money: $150,000
3 Moneybags: $50,000 Your first objective is to go to the Palladio Willow flower shop in Midtown and talk to Clemenza. He'll tell you that you are to assassinate Don Stracci. Drive to the St. Alban's Hotel and park in front. Then go in the hotel and up the stairs. Make sure you keep your weapons hidden. Talk to the Stracci at the top of the stairs and he will unlock the door for you. Then go straight and to the left and talk to the Stracci there. He will unlock that door for you. Go inside and talk to Don Stracci. Then go into the left elevator and wait for Don Stracci to get there. He walks very slow, so be patient. When the elevator reaches the bottom, pull out a gun and kill him. Then help Clemenza kill the rest of the Straccis there. After they're all dead, talk to Clemenza. He'll tell you that Willie Cicci is waiting for you at a barbershop in Hell's Kitchen. Go there and talk to Willie He will tell you that your next hit is Don Cuneo and to drive to the Savannah hotel in Midtown. Do what he says and park in the blue area. Then talk to him again. He'll go into the hotel. Just sit tight and stay crouched behind the car with your weapons concealed. You'll see when Don Cuneo comes out because he'll have the target symbol above his head. When he comes out and stops, draw your weapon and take him out. If you don't do it right away, it's okay. Just try to take him out quickly. Shoot the car that him and the rest of the Cuneos are using for cover and make sure he and the rest of them are killed. When they are, head into the garage to the left of the front entrance. Find the door that leads into the hotel, then go inside and help Willie finish off the Cuneos inside. Then talk to him again. He will tell you to meet Rocco in Brooklyn. Go out the front door and steal a car quick. More Cuneos in cars will be after you. Try to shake them as you head to Brooklyn. Once you reach the bridge, you should be safe. Go into the Embassy Club and talk to Rocco. He'll tell you that your next hit is Don Tattaglia and that he's shacked up with a hooker somewhere nearby, but he's not sure where. Go outside and turn to the right and talk to the hooker there. She'll tell you to go to the St. Sebastain hotel if you ever get lonely. This is probably where Don Tattaglia is. No need to steal another car, you can get there easily on foot. Take cover next to the front door and kill the Tattaglia in the lobby. Then go up the stairs and kill the enemy on the first landing. Then go up the next flight of stairs carefully, as there is another enemy lurking there. Go up to the third floor and take cover between the two doors. Shoot the guy behind the couch through the left door. Then run in the room and crouch behind that same couch. Wait for the Tattaglia to emerge from the door ahead and kill him. Then kill the enemy in the other half of the room. Take cover next to the door where Don Tattaglia is. Open it and you'll find him with a gun to a hooker's head. Take him out with a headshot. Then talk to Rocco. He'll tell you to meet Al Neri in front of the police station in Little Italy. This time, you'll have to deal with Tattaglia goons tailing you. When you get to the police station, talk to Al. Then drive to the courthouse like he says and park in the blue spot. Keep crouched behind the car with your weapons concealed. When Al gives the signal, draw your gun and kill all the Barzinis quick before they kill you. Don't worry about Don Barzini at this point. Once the rest of the Barzinis are dead, head to where Don Barzini is. There will be a cutscene in which you remember Don Barzini killing your father. Now you can take your revenge. Kill him anyway you like. The police will be all over you at this point, but before you steal a car, run up the courthouse steps and collect the hidden bonus moneybags. You have to collect them after you kill Don Barzini - they won't be there before. Now steal a car quickly. Your objective is not to escape the police by getting to a safehouse or anything, you must instead last two and a half minutes without being caught or killed. You can drive around in circles if you like, but I find the best strategy is to go to the Corleone compound which isn't very far away. Drive to the back of the compound and crouch behind the stone walls. The police generally won't follow you into the compound, but if some do, you'll have allies to help you fight them. After the two and a half minutes are up, drive back to the Baptism and park in the blue spot. After the cutscene, the mission will be complete. After the mission, walk up to one of the guys in black. They'll tell you that the Family is meeting back at the compound. Go to the compound and walk up to the front steps. This will start a cutscene in which you are promoted to Underboss. You will earn a +250,000 respect bonus and $150,000 cash. Congratulations, you have completed all the main storyline missions! Take over the four rival family compounds to be promoted to Don. Then take over all warehouses, hubs, businesses, and rackets to become Don of NYC! =================== Closing Statements =================== Again, if you would like to see a more complete Godfather guide, visit www.mywiki360.com.

Splish, splash
Outdoor swimming pool overcrowded, quarry pond, too? How about taking a dip out in the wilds, or amid some gigantic waves! A tour of some of the world's more unusual natural pools.
Bold Leap
Devil's Pool, Zambia
The Zambesi River is a veritable force of nature, surging over the cliffs of Victoria Falls to Devil's Pool 100 meters below. But when the water level drops after the summer, the hollowed-out rocks are ideal for bathing. The view: intoxicating.
Hot Splash
Reykjadalsá, Iceland
The Blue Lagoon is famous the world over – and full of tourists. So you're best walking the trail to Reykjadalsá River, which emerges from a hot spring in a green valley 40 kilometers southeast of Reykjavik. You won't find a lovelier steam bath anywhere.
Secluded Spot
Havasu Falls, USA
Havasu Falls is the country's most beautiful waterfall. The way there is long, steep and rocky and many a fan has reputedly arrived by helicopter. But the breathtaking backdrop and warm waters of the pool easily make up for the trials and tribulations of getting there.
Divine Dip
Cenote Ik Kil, Mexico
There are thousands of water holes on the Yucatán Peninsula, but none quite like Cenote Ik Kil, near the ruins of Chichén Itzá. Steps lead 26 meters down to the pool, where catfish dance in the water, while sunbeams dance in the jungle treetops overhead. All of this is accompanied by the music of the water dripping from the tendrils – a magical concert.
Brilliant Bask
Pamukkale, Turkey
The gleaming white terraces of Pamukkale are a natural spectacle and a world wonder that keeps on growing thanks to the hundreds of liters of calcareous water that spring forth here every second and evaporate, leaving new mineral deposits behind. You could call it an eternal infinity pool.
Fishy Fun
Jellyfish Lake, Palau
Dive with jellyfish? Sounds impossible, but on Eil Malk island, you can. Jellyfish Lake, a salt lake in the island's southeast, is home to some 600 000 golden medusas, peacefully floating their lives away with no predators and no venomous tentacles. Grab your snorkel and take the plunge!
Moody Pool
Queen's Bath, Hawaii
Queen's Bath, a tidal pool right on the Pacific, is a bather's gem in the crown of Kauai, Hawaii's oldest island. In the summer, when the waters are calm, you can simply let yourself drift in the basin, but if an adrenaline rush is what you're after, sling yourself headlong into the surf – but take good care!

text: It's hard to argue with the badassity of the Lamborghini elevator storing half a collection of Sant'Agata's finest below ground, but this disappearing garden garage storing a nice Porsche 911 elevates (har) the art of hidden garages to another level. First, this example is essentially silent, operating via hydraulic power without the ruckus of the other lift. Second, notice the attention to detail when completely lowered: The top of the garage has a little patch of garden and a reflecting pool we can only imagine has a fountain in it. We're getting into some serious James Bond stuff here folks. Next we'll be looking for a hidden garage that descends into an active volcano and shoots lasers at would-be car thieves. [via YouTube]

East Texas Soldier Asks Selena Gomez to the Army Ball, So Let's Help Him Out! [VIDEO]
East Texan Collin Gray has been in Afghanistan fighting for our country since November of 2012. The 20-year-old infantryman was a graduate of Chapel Hill High School in 2011 and knew without a doubt what he wanted to do with his life. And apparently he also knew without a doubt who he wanted as his date for this year's Army Ball. Not only is she a native Texan, but she is also one of the biggest names in popular music.
That's none other than Selena Gomez of course. The 20-year-old Grand Prairie native is known for her work on the Disney hit Wizards of Waverly Place, movies such as Ramona and Beezus and Spring Breakers, and has chart-topping hits including Love You Like A Love Song. Not only that, but she is constantly in the headlines for her on-again-off-again relationship with super star Justin Bieber.
No word if Gomez has responded or even seen the video yet. It was put online just four days ago. The ball is in mid-September, so she has plenty of time to accept the invitation. And we're sure that Justin Bieber would even be OK with it. These soldiers do so much for our country and our freedom, the least she can do is say YES!
In the video Collin also talks about his return home in August. He says all he wants to do is see his family. I don't think the video was made just to invite Gomez to the ball, but nonetheless, it happened!
Collin: a HUGE thank you from everyone here at the station for what you are doing for us and the sacrifices you're making. Can't wait to have you home in August!
Share this link and the video to help our hometown boy score a date with Selena Gomez to the Army Ball in September!

A Carnival float of Pope Francis and the "bishop of bling"
For those of us who grew up in Catholic regions where Carnival, Karneval, or Mardi Gras is a big deal, it always seems a little strange to get to Ash Wednesday without having had any big and crazy festivities, parades, and parties—to drive out the winter and the devil—before the Lenten season starts.
So it made my day today when, just before the end of Shrove Tuesday, I came across photos posted at the Huffington Post of a float from the Rosenmontag ("Rose Monday") Parade in the German city of Düsseldorf, not too far from where I grew up.
The Karneval parades in the Rhineland always feature some subversive send-ups of the powerful—whether it be politicians, celebrities or church leaders. This year one of the floats depicted Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, the infamous German "bishop of bling," whom Pope Francis suspended last October after revelations of his $43million renovation of his bishop's residence outraged Catholics around the world. He's pictured here, desperately trying to exorcise a smiley Pope Francis, who threatens his bag of Privilegien (privileges) as well as his big sack of money and ornate, jewel-encrusted bishop's wardrobe.
Wishing you all helau (the Carnival greeting in Düsseldorf) and alaaf (that's what we say in Cologne and my hometown of Aachen)!

Never before had there been such a total air victory in the history of aerial combat.
The name "Flying Tigers" burned itself in the pages of world history for all time.
For years after the Flying Tigers disbanded in 1942, they had been known as a mercenary air force in the service of the Chinese government. Finally on July 4, 1991, in a ceremony honoring the Flying Tigers, the United States Government belatedly admitted the truth - the Flying Tigers had been created by secret order of President Franklin Roosevelt months before Pearl Harbor to help the Chinese defend their cities from the relentless bombing by the Japanese, who had invaded China in 1937.
Three hundred men and women were recruited from within the ranks of the U.S. Armed Services. Pilots, aircraft mechanics, propeller specialists, doctors, nurses, clerks and even a chaplain joined what was called the American Volunteer Group. They signed a one-year contract to protect the only supply route open for the United States to deliver war material to China - the Burma Road. They boarded ships from the West Coast in the spring and summer of 1941, traveling as missionaries, planters, even circus performers - disguises to mask their true mission and protect FDR's secret effort to keep China from falling to the Japanese without provoking a war with Japan.
A.V.G. The American Volunteer Group The Japanese had been bombing Chinese cities since 1937 and had virtually destroyed China's Air Force. War between the United States and Japan seemed imminent. The idea for a "Lafayette Escadrille" to assist the Chinese in their struggle had been brewing for some time. Claire Lee Chennault, a retired Army Air Corps captain and air advisor to China, was authorized by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to form a volunteer group consisting entirely of American airmen to help train Chinese aviators and protect China's skies. With the help of T.V. Soong, Chiang's brother-in-law, Tom Corcoran, an advisor to the President, and other high-ranking officials, Chennault sold the idea to Roosevelt. On April 15, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Executive Order authorizing the formation of the American Volunteer Group. The Order permitted members of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Army Air Corps to resign from their branch of the service with the assurance that they would be reinstated to their former rank or grade upon completion of their contract. The group was to defend the Burma Road, China's lifeline to Burma and Indian Ocean ports. Since the U.S. was technically at peace with Japan, the plan required some subterfuge. Central Aircraft Manufacturing Co. (CAMCO) was elected as the middleman. CAMCO, owned by William Pawley, had an aircraft factory at Loiwing, China, supplying parts and planes to Chiang's Air Force. The "Volunteers" would sign a contract with CAMCO for one year, performing certain services not technically relating to combat. Recruiters fanned out across the country. The rumors soon spread that there was adventure and excitement in the exotic Orient. Pilots and crewmen of two carrier groups, temporarily at Norfolk, Virginia, for the Christmas holidays, were contacted by retired Commander Rutledge Irvine in early 1941. Many were fascinated, but most were somewhat skeptical. The pay, perks, and rewards sounded too good to be true. A few months later, and after three more meetings with our supersalesman, a group of pilots and crew were off to San Francisco on the way to the land of Kipling. Other recruiters signed up Army and Marine personnel. Chennault had some bad experiences with the International Squadron. He now wanted to put his own theories to the test. As the author of the controversial book, The Role of Defensive Pursuit, and as a member of the famous aerobatic team "Three Men on the Flying Trapeze", Chennault was held in awe by many airmen who wanted to fly with him. The AVG recruiters signed up 100 pilots and 200 mechanics, armorers, parachute riggers, radio operators, photographers, meteorologists, and other ground support crews. The pay was good: $600 to $675 per month for pilots and from $250 up for ground crews. The contract didn't mention another important perk - $500 bonus for each enemy plane shot down - but it was understood (this point was not understood by all - ed. note). The first contingent sailed from San Francisco aboard the Dutch vessel Jaeggersfontaineon July 11, 1941. Chennault had left a few days before on a Pan American clipper. The group was supposed to sail under complete secrecy. The passports read school teachers, entertainers, surveyors, farmers, engineers, and other innocuous professions. No one was fooled. A few days after the ship sailed, the Japanese newspapers announced that a group of American pilots has sailed for the Far East to fight Japan in China. "The ship will be sunk" the paper said. But it made it. A month later the second contingent sailed aboard another Dutch ship, the "Bloemfontaine." The name of David Lee "Tex" and mine appeared on the passenger list. We had flown together as dive bomber pilots aboard the Navy carriers Ranger and Yorktown. Those of us who expected to enjoy the mysterious beauties of the Far East and the exotic Orient were in for a rude awakening. When we arrived in Burma we had little time to explore the forbidden fruits of Rangoon. Instead we were sent 170 miles North to Toungoo in the heart of the jungle. Kyedaw Airdrome, an abandoned RAF field, was to be our training headquarters. It had a 4,000 foot blacktop runway with decent barracks of bamboo and teak. But the heat in September, 1941 was stifling and every biting critter known to man infested the area. And when we saw the planes we were to fly, it didn't make us much happier. Some of the pilots had only flown bombers or transports. Even Hill, Neale, myself, and others with fighter experience had a tough time learning the quirks of the P-40 Tomahawk. But Claire Chennault was a great teacher. He inspired confidence and a fierce loyalty. Even the hottest pilots forgot their prior training and absorbed Chennault's lessons in tactics. For over three months he personally instructed and drilled us in his innovative tactics. "The Japanese are superbly trained pilots. . . they have proved themselves in years of combat in China. . .the Japanese fighter planes are more maneuverable, have a better rate of climb but are more vulnerable than the P-40. . .the P-40 has better armor, more firepower and can dive at an extraordinary speed. . .use the P-40s good points and you'll stay alive and beat the enemy. . .", he lectured day after day. He sent us aloft to practice his strategies while observing our performance from his bamboo tower. Accidents occurred daily while pilots tried to get the hang of the temperamental P-40. The heat, training, lack of entertainment, the insects and boredom caused growing dissatisfaction. Some quit the AVG and went home. Some asked for other duties. But Chennault finally whipped a highly trained gung-ho group together. We were ready. He had our admiration and respect. Most called him "Colonel" or referred to him as "the Old Man." December 7, 1941, "Pearl Harbor attacked by Japan." It was December 8th in Burma. Chennault ordered his men on the alert. We would not be caught on the ground. But nothing happened at Toungoo. Chennault had organized his group into three squadrons. On December 12th, he sent the 3rd Squadron,FT1st.gif (3230 bytes) "Hell's Angels" to Rangoon to assist the RAF. The other two squadrons stood by on continuous alert. On December 18th, the Japanese attacked Kunming, China with a large force of bombers. The 1st Squadron,FT3rd.gif (4859 bytes) "The Adam & Eves" and the 2nd, FT2nd.gif (1942 bytes)"The Panda Bears," were sent on the 650 mile trip to Kunming early the following day and immediately went out on patrol, but there was no action. There was an early morning patrol on the 20th and again nothing. But Chennault was certain that the enemy would attack after its successful raid on the 18th. His intuition and early warning net paid off. Early during the morning of December 20th, a report was received warning that enemy bombers had been sighted 60 miles away. "The Old Man" said this is what he had been waiting for, American planes with American pilots with a little advance warning. He fired his red flares and the two squadrons took to the air. The enemy never reached Kunming. The first report was that six of the ten Japanese bombers had been shot down. Later in the war Chennault learned that only one of the enemy returned to its base. But the mission had one casualty. Me! Chennault wrote, "The last the other pilots saw of Rector, he was still chasing the Japes at full throttle". I had chased a little too far and didn't have enough gas to return. I bellied my P-40 in...and walked back to base (I was credited with shooting down the first enemy bomber that day). The 20th of December, 1941 was a costly day for the Japanese. The lost nine out of ten bombers and never hit the target. The Japanese never again tried to bomb Kunming as long as the AVG defended the city. It was not until two years later that they made another try, and this time escorted by a large number of fighters. During January and February, 1942, the AVG started to rack up the extraordinary record that gained them fame. Over the Skies of Burma and china we destroyed 217 enemy aircraft in thirty one encounter and probably destroyed at least another 50. During that same period, we lost six pilots. The grateful Chinese dubbed us the "Flying Tigers" and the name stuck. When the AVG was disbanded on July 4, 1942, after only seven months in combat, we had destroyed 297 enemy planes with another 153 probably destroyed. Twenty-two AVG personnel lost their lives: four in aerial combat, six on strafing missions, ten in training accidents and two on the ground from bombing (four were POWs, three returned). Unfortunately, because of lack of tact and shortsightedness on the part of Army brass, much of this valuable talent left China. Most of the AVG would have stayed on if they had been given decent treatment. All most wanted was a short leave and recognition of the service they had performed for their country. Eighty-two members of the AVG stayed on for various periods. Forty-four pilots and ground crew agreed to stay an extra two weeks because of their loyalty to Chennault. Two pilots, John Petach and Arnold Shamblin paid for that two weeks with their lives. Bob Neale, the top AVG ace. led the newly formed 23rd Fighter Group until July 19th, when Col. Robert Scott, Jr. assumed command. In addition to the 20 pilots and 24 ground crew that stayed two extra weeks, five AVG pilots and 28 ground personnel joined the Army Air Corps and stayed in China. They formed the cadre of the 23rd Fighter Group. Five of Chennault's staff stayed on to form Headquarters of the China Air Task Force. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Pursuit Squadrons were redesignated the 74th, 75th and 76th Fighter Squadrons. Frank Schiel was named C.O. of the 74th. Tex Hill commanded the 75th with Gil Bright as his second in command, and I commanded the 76th, with Chuck Sawyer as my deputy. One chapter in history ended July 4, 1942, and another began the same day with the same equipment, the same planes, and many of the same men. Most of the AVG who did not stay in China returned to their former branches of the service and performed brilliantly in other theaters. Some later returned to China and served with the 14th Air Force. We did not consider ourselves mercenaries or soldiers of fortune. We were paid sums considerably larger than our military salaries. Most of those who volunteered felt his was a unique opportunity to serve in a cause important to our country and a chance to improve our skills. A chance to get in on the ground floor with excitement and adventure thrown in make an irresistible combination. ("The Original Flying Tigers" by Ed Rector, 2nd Sqdrn, Vice Squadron Leader) * In 31 encounters they destroyed 217 enemy planes and probably destroyed 43 others. * The Tiger's losses in combat were four pilots killed in the air, one killed while straffing and one taken prisoner. * In the initial day in Rangoon, between Christmas and New Year's Eve of 1941, the Americans officially shot down 75 planes with a loss of two Tiger pilots and six planes of their own. Never before had there been such a total air victory in the history of aerial combat. The name "Flying Tigers" burned itself in the pages of world history for all time. * In the seven months of combat that followed, the 85 surviving pilots and their tiger-toothed P-40s shot down, by official count, 299 enemy planes. They destroyed another known 240 Japanese aircraft. In addition, the Tigers estimated a kill total upwards of a thousand aircraft which could not be confirmed officially, but which pilots recounted having watched disappear into the mountains or sea.
