Mafia: The Old Country – All Newspaper Locations Guide

Hangar 13 is back with its latest Mafia adventure with Mafia: The Old Country. The Old Country is filled with many collectibles and missable achievements/trophies. With our guides you will hopefully be able to avoid missing anything and having to head back. This guide will help you find all 50 newspapers that are required for The Collector achievement/trophy.

First let's explain the collectibles a bit. The game essentially features two mode. The story mode where the campaign plays out and is rather linear and an "explore" mode which is like a free roam.

Most collectibles will be found in the explore mode, however certain ones can only be found in the campaign mode. We recommend following along for the campaign ones and then going back out to free roam and collecting there afterwards.

The game also has a chapter select so if you miss anything don't worry, you can load up the correct chapter stlll and get what you missed.

All collectibles will show up on your map if you got close enough to them and zoom in. The only ones that won't show up until you collect them are the mystery foxes.

Chapter 1 – Famiglia

Opera Season

After cleaning up the stables and being told to head back to your space in the villa, head towards your room but to the right of it. You will see some cars and a set of stairs. Climb the stairs and at the top on a table will be the newspaper.

This will also be available in chapter 2 if you missed it.

Chapter 2 – Palio

Floods In Europe

You will eventually be tasked with heading to Don Torrisi's tent before the horse race. Before entering the tent look to the left of it to see the newspaper on a table.

Chapter 3 – Pizzu

Chinese Relations

Progress through the chapter until you get to the lemon farm. This will be the second spot you go to collect debt. There will be a house near the entrance and on a table just outside the front door will be the newspaper. Since you are entering the home on horse you will have to head back out to grab this.

Sicily Under Water

Proceed to the third debt collecting area now which is the quarry. After duelling a protestor you will find the newspaper on a pile of stones.

Amazing Inventions

Moving on to the fourth place to collect debt. You will have to do the whiskey mission and then you can grab this newspaper near the docks in Port Almaro. Make sure you don't mount the horses and instead head back to the dock.

Italian Explorer

At the fifth area of debt collecting you will find a newspaper on a bench just outside of a house at Don Fichera's farm. Just take the small stairs to the right of your horses and you will see it.

Chapter 4 – Il Barone

Russo-Japanese War

Quite a ways into chapter 4 you will be required to find Gennaro in a bandit camp. Make it through the first section and you will enter a cave swarming with enemies.

In the middle of this cave will be the newspaper on a wooden crate. I'd recommend taking out the enemies before grabbing this. If you start heading up a hill you've gone too far.

Chapter 5 – Vendetta D'Onore

Wave Of Anarchy

At the beginning of the chapter right after the opening seen you will be required to head into the Villa and talk to the Don. Head inside and up the stairs.

At the top turn left but before entering the Don's office walk past it. On a table you will see the newspaper which you can grab.

When infiltrating the Villa stick to the far left hand side of the property when approaching. Before heading up into the villa you will find a newspaper on a bench in one of the garden areas.

Chapter 6 – La Difesa Siciliana

Labor Protests

After the first cutscene where you will learn about the money press you will head back up to the car. Before going upstairs head into the first doorway on your left from the meeting. Inside will be the newspaper.

Traditional Games

Head upstairs to the car now. Before hoping into the car make a left and go around the parked cars to some stairs. Go up the stairs and to the left where you will find a newspaper on a bench. This is technically available in free roam but might as well grab it while we are already here.

Tunnel Completed

After meeting with the informant he will lead you into the police headquarters. As soon as you turn into the first little office area the newspaper will be on a desk in the middle of the room. This is also possible in free roaming, but we are walking right so might as well grab it!

Chapter 8 – Disgrazia

Heatwave

You will get to a point in the chapter where you have to chase someone down with a car. Once you get to where they hopped out you will run forward into an area with a couple broken down buildings. Just to the left of this area on a windowsill will be the newspaper. Also available in free roam but this brings us right to it.

Chapter 9 – Insustria

Chaos In Tbilisi

In this chapter you will eventually have to infiltrate a factory. Once inside look to the right of the building to find another door opening. Outside on a crate will be the newspaper.

Chapter 11 – Mattanza

Crowds At Car Race

Eventually you will be in a big gun fight where you have to escort some members of the family. You will get to a section where there is a sniper. Agree taking out the sniper and all the enemies look directly across from where the sniper was to find a room. Inside on a workbench will be the newspaper.

Chapter 12 – La Forza Del Destino

Camel Riders

When sneaking into the opera house you will have to climb up to the rafter and continue. You will eventually have to turn left towards a door from up here but before you do make a right to find the newspaper on a box. It's too dark and no map for an image here sadly.

Chapter 14 – La Merica

Courtroom Drama

Quite a bit into chapter 14 you will come out of a building as you fight many enemies. To your right will be some barb wire fencing and you will have to go around it. Once you do before continuing to your left, head to the far corner against the barb wire fencing to find the newspaper.

Wheel Of Death

From the previous collectible head up the road into the town a little bit. You will get to the second opening where you can walk up some stairs. Follow this path then make a left when you can up another set of stairs. The newspaper will be on a bench.
