Mission: “Kill Sal Marcano”
Discuss Marcano’s Whereabouts with Donovan
Travel to Donovan’s tac-op center (1) to find the former CIA agent preparing the place for a cleansing immolation. He has one last wiretapped recording for Lincoln to hear: Sal and Giorgi are circling the wagons at their Hotel Paradiso casino. Time to go exterminate the king rat and his son.
Go to the Casino & Get Inside
Follow the trip route through the Northlake Bridge toll plaza (2) and continue across the bridge to Sal’s casino, the Hotel Paradiso (3). When you arrive, head to the right side of the front entrance to find scaffolding and climb its stairs. At the top, make a quick Intel View scan to see lots of Marcano’s men inside.
Find Giorgi
Enter the casino and take cover at the first crate by the balcony railing. Two guards chat a short distance down the balcony. When you whistle, both come over to investigate! Do a regular takedown of the first guard who arrives, then perform a Brutal Takedown on the second one to quickly silence him and avoid gunfire.
Proceed along the balcony and nail another guard looking over the railing with his back to you. Move cover to cover around the balcony level and silently take down two more guards on patrol. Now the upper level is cleared.
Sneak down the stairs leading to the main floor lobby. But before you reach the bottom, hop over the left railing and drop into the foliage next to the staircase. From here you can surprise another guard pacing past the ferns. Then start sneaking your way around the main floor, pouncing on patrols from behind or whistling to lure them to your secluded hiding spots. You can clear the entire main lobby this way. If you do get spotted and trigger a gunfight, you can find plentiful cover in the lobby.
Kill Giorgi
Get to the Casino Floor
Work your way into the back hallway behind the reception desk and continue into an office area, where your objective changes. You must be getting close! Continue past the office desks and turn left through the exit door.
Climb the stairs to discover a “Win This Car” display. Hop into the De’Leo Stiletto on the podium and accelerate hard down the hall to hit the wooden ramp and fly through the “Paradiso” glass display onto the casino’s main floor. (This move isn’t mandatory, but it sure is fun.)
Find the Back Stairs
Hop out of the car and take cover behind the row of slot machines, then hustle over to the low wooden wall that encircles the main floor. A squad of gunmen are posted behind the circular desk in the middle of the room, underneath the big chandelier. You can maneuver around them while staying behind the low wall, but watch out for reinforcements coming down the stairs on both sides of the room.
As you clear out the main floor, watch for goons who burst through a door on the raised “Paradiso” stage behind the main bar (where a piano sits). Gun them down and go through the door they left open. Backstage, climb the stairs.
Gun Down Giorgi
Watch out for a crew of gunmen just outside the doorway at the top! Giorgi is holed up nearby in the casino’s main operations booth. Eliminate his three guards, then shoot down Giorgi in the doorway of the booth. When he falls, your fighting is finished.
Approach the fallen Giorgi and hold the button displayed to trigger a scene: Lincoln ties up loose ends with his old heist partner. Afterwards, he takes Giorgi’s elevator key and rides up to the executive office level.
Confront Marcano
Climb the curving staircase to see Sal Marcano standing at his office window, overlooking the casino entrance twelve stories below. Approach Sal to trigger a final scene. We won’t spoil the conversation, but when it ends, you have a choice to make.
Marcano’s Fate
Your choice: Go after Sal yourself…or just watch Sal handle his own fate.
Leave the Casino
Now head back downstairs. Stepping into the elevator triggers another cutscene: Lincoln meets Leo Galante, chairman of “The Commission,” the American Mafia’s governing body. Leo delivers a message to Lincoln, and makes an offer. Is it an offer that Lincoln can refuse?
