To start, you will first need to follow Isabella as she takes you to the stable to grab a horse for the ride along. You can either pick an existing one or purchase a new one. Once chosen, you leave the stable. Following this, both you and Isabella begin your horse rides and exchange a brief conversation about Tino and the family.

On the way, you encounter Valerio and two of his men. They give us a heads up about the dangers lurking on the mountains and about how valuable Gennaro’s car is. After that, we continue our ride till we finally catch up with Cesare and Gennaro. They have taken a halt due to an issue with the car. This is where Enzo’s mechanic skill comes in handy, as we are then tasked with starting the engine.

To star the engine, first press ‘X’, making the bar go up. Now wait for the bar to drop down and press ‘X’ again when inside the white box. Repeat this action twice, and the car will start working. Get back on the horse and continue your journey with Isabella. She will guide you from another scenic path. On the way, Isabella will also have a brief conversation with Father Ciccone outside the church, after which our ride will continue.

Race With Isabella

Isabella will challenge you to a mini race where you will need to tap the prompted button and navigate your way across the ruins to the top of the mountain. It doesn’t matter who wins this lighthearted competition of speed and building a bond. You both finally reach an overlook of the ruins. After disembarking from your horses, Isabella takes you to the edge and gives you a camera. She explains the workings of it and gives us the task to take a good picture with the camera.

You can play around with the settings and adjust the lighting for the right picture. Isabella subtly flirts with us throughout this time, with Enzo showing no signs of stepping back. You then enjoy a nice, mesmerizing view before continuing your ride. Our ride will be uninterrupted till we finally catch up with Cesare and Gennaro. A cutscene triggers where Genaro begins to speak with Isabella. You, on the other hand, take a ride with Cesar in the car to leave them some privacy.

Circuit of the Gods

Cesare lets you take the wheel as you begin the drive. Before the drive, you have to quickly utilize the newly learnt skill and start the car’s engine. Following that, you begin the drive. During this ride, we had a small conversation. On the way, we reach a particular mark called the ‘Circuit of the Gods’

This circuit requires you to drive the car across all five pillars. There is a timer which will calculate the exact time you take to complete the entire circuit. If you take more than 45 seconds for the circuit, Cesare will ask you to try your hand at it once again. Once you break the target time, he will ask you to head towards the temple. This will trigger a cutscene, following the initiation of a combat sequence with Messina and his hunters on foot.

You will need to kill all the enemies in your path. As you keep following the path to the temple, new hunters will emerge. Keep following the yellow blip till your objective changes to looking for Isabella and Gennaro. The area is filled with a lot of coverable areas, making it easy to hide and shoot. Once you reach the blip, a cutscene triggers. We see Messina load Isabella into the back of the truck. Following this, the chase sequence begins.

Chase Messina and Save Isabella

Enzo gets into the driver’s seat and Cesare takes to the guns. There are not many alternative routes, urging you to keep to the trail of the bandits’ car. There are several jumps on the way. As the car of the bandits is not always visible, yellow blips will occur on your way in the form of checkpoints and a guiding path. Reaching under a gap between the car of around 50m will have Cesare begin shooting at them. The enemies will shoot fire at you, which you will have to dodge by turning the car abruptly.

On the way, due to the enemies breaking down a pillar, you will need to use a secondary road, parallel to them. About 3 minutes into the chase, Enzo gets hold of a horse and jumps onto it. You will then continue the chase on horseback. You will slowly make your way forward by killing all the hunters in your path. A sequence of three horse riders will occur back to back about four times during this run. Shooting each horse rider twice will do the trick. Once you kill all 12 horse riders, you will reach a point where you catch up with Messina and Isabella and trigger a new cutscene.

Enzo jumps onto the car, knocking out the bandits in the car. Just as Messina is about to shoot you, you grab Isabella and jump out of the moving car. This crisis-like situation increases the bond between Enzo and Isabella, prompting her to kiss him. Once Cesare arrives, you ask him to take her back and begin your quest to save Gennaro.

Rescue Gennaro

We arrive at Messina’s camp, where we find Gennaro being taken as a prisoner. The moment you gain control after the cutscene, you can pick up the Fantasma Charm on the table in front of you. Now turn right and proceed down towards the camp. Keep going right till you reach the mouth of the cave-like entrance. Be in stealth as you approach the bandits on the other side. Wait for the discussion between the two bandits to end. Once one of the bandits leaves, stealth kill the one still standing there.

You can choose to hide the body to avoid any sudden action. From where you kill that bandit, take a right and use the covers to keep concealed. There will be 2-3 bandits on that side, depending on when you go there. Wait for the right opportunities when they aren’t looking at each other and stealth kill them. At the end of the camp, turn right and use the bigger entrance. There will be bottles you can pick up from tables all over. Use these as distractions to separate the bandits from one another and individually kill them.

Finish Off All the Bandits

Keep following the yellow blip while being in stealth. While you can choose to go loud, you can avoid the unnecessary gunfire. Once you reach the other side where the blip is, take a left from outside the entrance. You will slowly make your way around the hill and gradually scale the heights. There is one more camp on the way. IF you run past it, you can save the time for killing them. But be quick and avoid their bullets with some zig-zag maneuvers.

A little further ahead, and you will find Gennaro tied to a small log. Free him and focus all your attention on the bandits. Skipping all the bandits and running directly up helps because you get a better vantage point and don’t have to worry about enemies coming from the back. Once you kill them, continue following the path till you reach a fence. Climbing over this will trigger a cutscene.

Final Boss Fight With Messina

Messina stops us in our path, holding a shotgun to our face. In response, we hold up our knife, urging him to follow suit. This triggers the final boss fight for this chapter between Enzo and Messina. Messina is a patient fighter who holds back his attacks for the right moment and focuses on defense. Wait for the right moment, and you can deflect or parry his glowing attacks. This is when you can lay out a combo of strikes to reduce his health.

Once you deplete his health to zero, a cutscene will trigger with us landing a knife strike to the back of his neck. Gennaro thanks us for our service, after which we both get on horses and ride our way back to Cesare and the Don. While the Don was a displeases that we couldn’t keep the couple safe, he was more than happy by our act of bravery and loyalty. With this, the chapter comes to a close.
