               1- Introduction:

Hello everyone Thank You for coming to my Walkthrough for Max Payne, my name is Gavin and 
i'm from Canada. I will guide you through this amazing roller-coaster ride known as Max Payne, 
personally the Max Payne series as a whole are my favorite games i've ever played. The thing 
that sets the Max Payne series apart from any other game is the incredible story it has, you will be 
sucked in from the first bullet you fire i assure you. So buckle up for an intense ride you will never 
forget......I should note that this Walkthrough is for the Xbox version of Max Payne but i'm sure 
there is no difference between the PC or PS2 version. I will try to keep things short and sweet and 
get you  through the game in one piece.

                5- Walkthrough

Part I: The American Dream
If you are new to Max Payne i would recommend that you complete the Tuitorial first. As you finish 
watching the opening sequence you get a taste of what is to come, you will start out in Max's old 
house as he recalls the gruesome nightmare that took place there. Immediately when you walk 
into the house you see a V tatooed on the wall, click on it for the cutscene. Make a habit of 
clicking on these cut scenes throughout the game as they help you with vital information not only 
that but they add to the depth of the story. Now where was i, oh yes after
the scene ends go through the open doorway, another dramatic scene with etch, Max now draws 
out his Beretta as he knows somethings wrong. The phone will start to ring, go answer it after the 
scene ends go look in the nearby closet for the Pump Action Shotgun, now make your way into 
Max's living room and head up the stairs. At the top of the stairs another chilling cut scene 
happens, go into the bathroom and try to go through the door, it will not allow you inside as you 
hear the screams of Max's wife. Go back into the hallway with the other two doors as you approch 
the door a killer junkie brandishing a gun will come through, shot him along with the next guy that 
emerges from the nearby door. Enter the room and you see a horrific scene of Max's now dead 
Baby Girl, go through the next door and grab the Baseball Bat near the shelf. As you enter the 
next door another killer junkie comes at you with a gun, dispose of him and that will trigger the 
emotional scene of Max and his dead Wife.

Chapter One: Roscoe Street Station
You will emerge from the subway car, your goal here is to meet up with Alex Balder but you soon 
find out that Alex is nowhere to be found, you will have to look for him. Head to the left through the 
door, as you enter the door you will notice bullet holes with stained blood on the wall, their is a 
bloodtrail into the next room so follow it inside. As you open the door you see a dead transit 
policeman, Max will now pull out his Beretta as he knows trouble is here, on your way out of the 
room grab some ammo from the lockers and your first painkiller from the cabinet. When you come 
back out the way you came in you will see two mobsters, wait until there done talking then spring 
out and shoot both of them, from here on out use bullit time if you have to but these mobsters in 
this area aren't too much of a challenge. After picking up ammo and the Desert Eagle from the 
dead mobsters head up the stairs, as you come to the top you will see two more mobsters that 
have just killed a transit policeman, leap out and gun down both of them with the Desert Eagle. Go 
up until you get to the end of the hallway and stop, to the left you will here a mobster that wants to 
know what's just happened, come out and show him by shooting him in the chest. Now head down 
the stairs to the right when you reach the bottom be carefull there is a mobster nearby, wait 
behind the nearby pillar then jump out and shoot him, get the Pump Action Shotgun from his dead 
body and go through the wooden doorway that says maintenance. After the load screen you find 
yourself in the maintenance area, there is a door in front of you that you need to access but you 
don't have the code yet so head down the stairs to the left. As you head down stop at the edge of 
the stairs for cover, there are three mobsters here, gently lean out and shoot the mobster ahead of 
you, now stay put the other guy will come after you, as he comes up the steps jump out and shoot 
him head on with the Pump Action Shotgun, desend down the rest of the steps and shoot the 
remaining mobster. Head down the corridor and you will see a camera above you, don't worry this 
isn't Splinter Cell your fine. Get yourself ready and go through the nearby door, as you open the 
door a mobster has a transit policeman at gunpoint shoot him right away, as the transit policeman 
relays to you what's going on grab some ammo from the nearby lockers and the two painkillers. 
Head back up the stairs where you saw that door in the begining, the transit policeman will follow 
you up and open the door for you. As he opens the door a mob guy will blow him away, don't 
bother re-loading there's no way you can save him, click the nearby panel again to open the door. 
Head inside the room and you will see a sliding door up ahead that says Subway Control Room, 
be very carefull here there are four mobsters inside this room well armed, go inside and blow the 
first guy away to the right, use the subway contral station in front of you as cover as you blow the 
next three guys away, they move around quite a bit so get good shots. Collect their guns and go 
into the door in the far corner, you will see three power stations 2, 4, and 6, power up the 2nd one 
by clicking on it. To the right is a monitoring station where you can see out the view of the camera, 
as you look out the view of the camera you will see the train power up that's where your headed 
next. Grab the four painkillers in the medicine cabinet and head back out the way you came going 
down the stairs again, off to the left is the train you need to get to. Head over to it and jump up and 
go through the noisey door, the control for the train is immediately to the left as you enter the train, 
just look for the steering wheel. The train will fire right through the wooden barricade, go through 
the train door and jump down to the ground, three mob guys will appear up ahead of you, take 
them out one by one and at the end of the subway go to the left and through the medal door, if 
your a good enough shot aim for the top of the white gasoline container and the blast will kill them 
all.

Chapter Two: Live from the Crime Scene
Max is getting closer to something looking for Alex, as you start you will see an old ticket booth 
ahead of you from there go to the left, as you come to the right wait there. There are two mobsters 
headed towards you, jump out and waste them with your Pump Action Shotgun, now head 
towards the medal door but be carefull as there is a mobster waiting for you on the other side, 
shot him and head down part of the stairs. As you come down the steps you will see a mobster 
ahead of you with his gun primed and ready, spring out and shoot him. Walk down the rest of the 
steps and jump into the water, make your way down the sewer in the water and eventually you will 
come to a raised area to your right, there are three mob guys up here. Wait until one of the mob 
guys receive a phone call on his cell phone, then run through the water firing to the right taking out 
two mobsters, one more will come shooting after you, waste him and jump up onto the raised 
area. Now as you walk up the nearby stairs Max will hear an explosion and say "What the hell was 
that", you will find out soon enough.....go up to the second set of stairs and it will trigger a load 
screen. Take a few steps forward then wait at the top of the stairs after the load screen, two mob 
guys will get in a fight about a detonator, one of them will shot the other over the argument, as he 
comes towards you nail him with the Pump Action Shotgun burst, if you want you can switch up 
with the Sawed-Off Shotgun, i prefer the Pump Action over it but you decide what's best for you. 
You will come towards a welded door that has a bomb attached to it but as Max will indicate the 
bomb is missing a detonator, so just head down the stairs to your left. When you reach the bottom 
of the stairs stop as two more mobsters are just ahead of you, wait until your ready then jump out 
and shoot both of them, you will now see a blown open wall lighten up by two big lights in the 
room, that's were that explosion came from. Head through it and into what appears to be a Bank 
Vault, so thats what's going on a bank robbery, one of the bank robbers will start up a 
conversation wait until he's finished then head inside, there are four mafia bank robbers up ahead. 
The first will head straight for you, nail him back with the Pump Action Shotgun, the next set of 
guys you can play run and gun with using the vault door a cover, once there all taken care of go 
into the room and collect their ammo, you will need it up ahead. Click on the nearby panel to open 
the sliding door, you will be greeted by another bank robber right in front of you as the door opens, 
shoot him and head inside there are three more mafia bank robbers in the room so use bullit time 
if you have to or just run and gun. When you waste the last guy the phone will start to ring answer 
it, after the scene ends shot that annoying alarm above you, max will respond with "Thank You", 
next open the nearby vaults by clicking on the computer panel in front of you. One vault will reveil 
what the mafia bank robbers where after Aesir Corporation Bonds, the other will contain a 
detonator to that welded door, use the computer panel to open both doors and again on the way 
out, oh and grab those painkillers by the phone. Head back out the way you came to the welded 
door, on your way up the stairs a wooden bench will slide in front of you to reveil three more 
mobsters, be carefull as one of them has a grenade, shot them down and go up to the welded 
door and click on it. This will blow open the door and Max will step through finally meeting up with 
DEA Special Agent Alex Balder, as you watch the horrifying scene you see someone shot Alex 
right in front of Max, but who shot Alex that question will have to wait for now.....off to the far right 
a mob guy will come into focus use the nearby wall as cover as you gun him and his buddies 
down. Once there dead if you need them there are some painkillers in the nearby ticket booth, go 
up past the now dead mobsters and stop along the near wall, one of the mob guys will complain 
about being caught then head right towards you. When he get's close enough shoot him and run 
into the open area because one of these mobsters will throw a grenade, using bullit time should 
take care of these guys easily enough, if you get shot there are some more painkillers in the 
nearby ticket booth, while your in the ticket booth click on the exit gate and the exit gate will open, 
go through the gate and up the stairs ending the chapter. 

Chapter Three: Playing it Bogart
As you start the chapter the two mobster punks "The Finito Brothers" will try and gun you down, 
use the wall as cover and kill these two morons, if you feel confident enough get close to them 
and fill them with the Pump Action Shotgun shells, two shots at close range will take care of both 
these small-timers. Don't get too relaxed as in a few seconds a couple of mobsters will come 
knocking at the door wondering what's happened, there are three of them so get in position a 
good distance away from the door, when they come through the right hand door nail each one as 
he steps in. After their dead grab a painkiller in the nearby vault and click on the note on the desk, 
when the cutscene ends gather the ammunition and head out of the office and down the steps. 
Max's cover is now blown he needs to get out of the hotel, as you get down stairs the bathroom to 
the left contains some painkillers if you need them. Go out into the room don't bother going 
upstairs as the door's locked, after clicking on the nearby radio and hearing some trobling news 
for Max shoot out the window in front of you then have Max jump through it. As you make your 
way down the roof you hear a couple of mobsters talking about how the boss isn't answering, in a 
few seconds they will head out the door so be primed and ready to shot them, shoot all three in a 
row as they come at you, head for the nearby door on the right and the screen will load. Head 
down the stairs and through the delapitated door, up ahead there is a door open on the left with a 
mob guy in the room, when you get to the door the mobster will go for his gun in the closet, waste 
him before he can do that. Exit the room and go down the corridor to your left, follow it until you 
reach a door on the left that says 302, inside is a painkiller in the drawer. Don't worry about the 
mob guy nearby that's watching tv he won't come after you unless you alert him, go down the 
hallway and blow the same mob guy away who's watching tv. This will usher two more mobsters 
from the far double door, as they come toward you shoot them down, if you havent yet turn off or 
shoot the tv to end the annoying soap opera Lords and Ladies, their is a bathroom to the right go 
inside and grab the painkillers, also this is your first encounter with a V head junkie, basically if 
you leave him alone he won't hurt you but if you want to be safe you can shoot him, be warned if 
you do shoot him a bonechilling scream is what you will hear. Leave the bathroom and head for 
the double doors but be carefull as you enter there are two mob guys in this area, one will come 
right for you as you open the door so use bullit time to kill him then the other mob guy will come 
for you, shoot him as well. Up ahead the door has a padlock on it so shoot it off and the door will 
open, this next part is kinda difficult for the inexperienced so be wary, make your way into the 
room and you will see two mobsters arguing with a vending machine, shot them both at close 
range with the Pump Action Shotgun, then turn around right away as two more mobsters will come 
from two different rooms, kill both of them, if your quick and get good shot's this should of been a 
breeze but if you get shot a few times just take a few painkillers. Go into the room on the right and 
click on the nearby tv, you will discover that Max had been framed for the murder of his good 
friend Alex Balder and someone has replaced Max's identity with that of a repeated fellon, granted 
Max was undercover but someone had set him up, if you switch off the vibrating bed nearby Max 
will say in response to the dead guy "'This party had been dead for a while, i couldn't say i was 
sorry i missed the show" head out of the room and down the hallway and turn right and go through 
the open doorway for the load screen. To the left is some ammo along with a junkie in the corner, 
like i said before if you want to be safe you can kill him but i would recommend leaving him alone. 
Head to the right and through the door, immediately as you enter an ill-tempered mobster will try 
and gun you down to the right, take him out along with his buddies one by one. Collect their ammo 
along with a Grenade and Molotov Cocktail, go to the left and Max will discover Rico Muerte's 
room 313, don't just rush inside as the door is keyed to a Sawed-Off Shotgun, open it then back 
away to the wall quickly. This will trigger two more mob guys to come from a door off to the right, 
shot them as they approch you, it is now safe to head into Muerte's room, there is a letter on the 
desk click on it, after the scene ends grab the painkiller on the floor to the right. Go back into the 
hallway and turn right, you will come accross a bathroom and what appears to be a blocked off 
wooden door, first go into the bathroom but be carefull as you enter as there is a junkie to the left 
and a mobster will come from the far stall, shot both because the gun fire will upset the junkie and 
he will pull out his gun, grab the painkiller out of the medicine cabinet if you need it. Next go back 
to the boarded off wooden door, use the Pump Action Shotgun to decimate the door and step 
through it, there is a small balcony up ahead through the window, go through it and you will see a 
blood trail that leads to boarded wooden window, shot the wooden window and step through. 
Something weird happened here as this mobster has a steak in his back and the words BUFI are 
engraved in blood on the floor, collect all the items from the hidden room and go back the way you 
came, on your way back you will see the police arrive, with Max being setup he has to get out of 
the hotel fast, go to the door the previous two mobsters came from up ahead and you will see a 
broken heating valve, shot it and the drum will descend to the 2nd floor. Wait until the mobsters 
are done talking then jump down but don't face the wall as you jump because there are two 
mobsters in the area, shot them both as they come for you. Now head down the hallway but stop 
as you reach the open area up ahead there is another mobster waiting for you off to the left, jump 
out and shot him, there is another junkie in the nearby room but i would just leave him and head 
for the door up ahead that says 216. This is Candy Dawn's room a hooker staying in Lupino's 
hotel, head over to the table and click on her diary, after the scene go for the closet near the door 
it's masking a hidden doorway, step through it and go out the ajoining door. Go down the hallway 
and stop to the left, a few mobsters are headed your way, shot them and head forward there is 
one more mob guy and he's guarding a service elevator so kill him too, go into the elevator and 
press the button to end the chapter.

Chapter Four: The Blood Veins of New York
Exit the service elevator and you will find yourself in a Laundry Room, head to the left and you will 
overhear a group of mobsters talking about some kind of mafia job, equip a Molotov Cocktail and 
after he's done talking hurl it towards the table, it should kill all of them if you aimed right, if not just 
shoot the remaining mobsters and click on the tv nearby for a cutscene. It appears that the 
snowfall is worsening outside, grab the painkiller on the nearby shelf and head through the door 
with the green light on it, as you enter three mobsters will emerge from the door ahead of you, to 
make this easier shoot the white gasoline container on top of the boxes and it will take care of two 
of the three mobsters, now just shoot the other one and go over to the door with the boxes in front 
of it. Shread the boxes blocking the door with your Pump Action Shotgun, as you step through the 
door a mobster will notice you but he's not very quick so just pump him full of gunpowder. You are 
now in the Boiler Room and you should see a dead man tied to a chair with a Basball Bat next to 
him, click on the comic strip in front of him for the cutscene. Remember this area as you will see it 
again soon, pick up the Basball Bat and the Shotgun ammo in the closet behind the boiler, all the 
nearby doors are locked except for the one with the staircase so climb up it. You will overhear a 
mobster talking about vampire movies and when you think about it he makes a good point, head 
inside and gun down these two mob guys, another will run after you from the far left, kill him too. 
There are some painkillers in the medicine cabinet if you need them, if not collect the ammo and 
walk up to the hallway where the mobster emerged from and go up the stairs and through the door 
to get a load screen. As you begin this part Max will overhear a huge V deal going down in the 
nearby room, get ready because these guys mean business, as you enter the room there are four 
mobsters two sitting down, two standing up. Kill the first one in front of you standing up then the 
next one to the left then immediately hit bullit time and slowly shot the remaining two mobsters, if 
you go over to the table and click on the briefcase's it will reveil the Valkyr the crooks wanted to 
sell and some dirty money. Now that you've stopped the V deal collect the items from the table 
and the nearby closets, on your way out of the room grab the key on the table to the Bar and i 
would recommend shooting the Valkyr cylinders, wouldn't want the crooks buddies to get the 
Valkyr later. Head down the hall and into the bathroom to collect some painkillers, then go for the 
Bar door in the corner, listen because if your new to this this next part is going to be pretty difficult. 
Well, well it's Rico Muerte and his hooker Candy Dawn time to teach these two a lesson, 
personally i would let the girl go but she leaves Max little option as she's madly shooting at him. 
Immediately jump to left as the scene ends, use the doorway to play run and gun as you gun 
down all three mobsters that come from the door to the left, after their dead equip the Molotov 
Cocktail, let's teach this bitch as lesson, step into the room and toss the Molotov Cocktail right at 
her behind the bar, she will scream in horror as she's burned alive. With Dawn dead head for 
Muerte, he's passed the door the previous mobsters came from but don't just run in as he has an 
Ingram that will tear you to pieces, play run and gun with him using the wall as your cover, you will 
get hit a few times but eventually he will die or if you have it just hurl a Molotov Cocktail at him, 
this is recommended only for the experienced though because as you try to aim to hit him with the 
cocktail he will chew you up with the Ingram. Head into the room and collect your first Automatic 
weapon the Ingram, go for the door and you will get a load screen. Now as you head forward two 
mobsters know your coming and will come right for you, so be wary and gun them both down, 
collect the ammo then step into the nearby room and click on the old switchboard as you listen to 
the Blood Veins of New York. Don't worry you will soon meet the high strung Gognitti but not yet, 
get out of the Reception area by going up the stairs to the left, go through the doors and into the 
Club, if you feel lucky click on the machine if not just keep walking up ahead. Stop at the wall and 
you will see a mobster that has a problem with gambling and shoots the machine, as he heads 
towards you shoot him, quickly run up the stairs then another mobster will appear from the roulette 
table shoot him too, if your feeling lucky again click on the roulette table if not don't worry about it 
and go through the double doors to exit the club. Max is almost out all you have to do is shoot out 
the glass ceiling and jump down but as you soon discover the mobsters want more bloodshed, 
two mob guys will come from the front door shoot both of them quickly as one of them has an 
Ingram, then two more mobsters will come from the left out of the Reception area gun them down, 
you cannot open the front door manually, you have to flick the switch in the reception booth so go 
do it but be quick on your way out the door as it has a timer on it, congradulations you've helped 
Max escape but what next.

Chapter Five: Let the Gun do the Talking
Welcome to Jack Lupino's Tenament Buildings, Vinnie Gognitti is bound to be inside, to start out 
head straight forward towards the pawn shop, you will overhear two mobsters raiding the store, 
step inside and waste both of them, collect any ammo inside, in one of the glass cases is some 
Ingram ammo. Leave the pawn shop and head for the van near the far wall on the left for some 
Shotgun ammo, don't bother with the front door to the Tenament Buildings it's locked. Click on the 
newspaper case on the wall near the van for the cutscene, now head straight forward for the stairs 
that lead down to a door, there are three mobsters here so take care of them with the Dual 
Ingram's should be no problem. Next head through the door in front of you, there is a door to the 
left with two junkies inside but just leave them be and head forward for the load screen. The entire 
building is rigged with explosives so be extra careful, now just go forward and shoot the top of the 
white gasoline container and it will explode into the nearby door so stay clear after you shoot, a 
mob guy come to check out what just happened when he does, waste him. Head through the now 
blown out doorway and grab the painkillers in the medicine cabinet ahead of you, there are two 
junkies off to the left in the far corner but just ignore them and go through the doorway to the right, 
immediately get up against the near wall as a mobster will come from the far door. Jump out and 
shoot the first then retreat back behind the wall, this will usher another mobster do the same with 
him, now head forward and collect their ammo. Go to the far wall and up the stairs to the left, as 
you go up the mobster knows Max is there and will open fire, just wait there untill he comes to you 
than waste him with the Pump Action Shotgun. Collect the Ingram and head up the rest of the 
stairs, go past the lockers and into the hallway where a phone is ringing, have Max pick it up, after 
your first talk with the mysterious Alfred Woden Max now knows the police have arrived with 
Deputy Chief Jim Bravura. Anyhow head forward to the doorway but don't go in the room yet 
because there are two mobsters headed your way, jump out and shoot both of them then go for 
the door on the right, shoot the padlock of the door inside and step through, click on the letter on 
the counter. It appears that Gognitti is at war with Vladimir Lem of the Russian Mafia that would 
explain the car that blew up, grab the key on the shelf and the painkillers and head back for the 
door to the Staircase. After the load screen go up one flight of stairs then quickly retreat as a one 
of Gognitti's mobsters will through a grenade, head back up and when he comes into view blow 
that gutless mobster away, his friend will come out right after you so shoot him too. Now before 
you head for the bathrooms in front of you there is a mobster primed and ready with Dual Ingrams 
a staircase ahead of you so shoot him first, now you can go collect the ammo and painkillers in 
the bathrooms. Head up the stairs and now you are on the 3rd floor, after the explosion go out 
onto the walkway and have Max jump over the gap, then go for the door off to the right. Be primed 
and ready as there are four mobsters in this room relaxing, step in and shoot the first two in front 
of you, another one will come from the nearby room kill him too but not before taking care of the 
one on the left, collect the ammo and one painkiller from that nearby room and jump through the 
window for the end of this chapter.

Chapter Six: Fear that gives Men Wings
The stairs up to Lupino's office have been destroyed thanks to that explosion earlier, so Max has 
to get to that ajoining rooftop. Head down the fire escape and jump down to the nearby landing 
and then to the ground, you will overhear two junkies talking about how damn cold it is, go for the 
Laundrymat door nearby. As you come inside their is a door you need to get through up ahead but 
the mobsters won't let you in even though Max says he has a pizza for them, Max now needs to 
find someone that knows the password to the door. Go through the door behind Max and head 
back outside into the cold, head inside the door with the light above it, this parts kinda tricky so 
listen up, make your way inside and wait next to the stairs beside the junkies, wait until the 
mobsters start coming down the steps then ice each one as they come towards you, the junkies 
beside you might flip out and start shooting you over the gunfire but if you keep your cool and 
shoot them you should be fine.
Next head up the steps and once again wait by the steps next to the junkies as this time the 
mobsters know Max is hear and will come running down the stairs after him, shoot them as they 
come and you will be fine. Go upstairs and into the one room to the right and you will discover a 
mob guy that's goin help you get through that door, also there are some painkillers and ammo in 
the nearby closet if you need them, just run back to the door inside the Laundrymat and wait until 
the mobster catches up with you then he will recite the password "John Woo" for the mobsters 
and get you inside. As soon as he opens the door however the mobsters know it's a trick and they 
open fire, equip a grenade and toss it inside to deal with these mobsters, the blast should kill them 
all, grab the ammo on the table and go through the doorway but as soon as you enter the last 
mobster should surprise you, shoot him and grab the painkillers nearby next to the cash register, 
now head for the elevator for the load screen, if you shoot the speaker above Max it will kill the 
music in the elevator and once again Max will reply with "Thank You". Head down the hallway and 
through the door, have Max go for the bathroom door and the mobster will reply with "Hold on i'll 
be out Soon", when you hear a toilet flush he's coming out so be ready and shoot him. Click on 
the tv and you will get another cutscene, apparently everyone now knows about what's going on 
but no matter, nothing will stop Max Payne from finding the truth, grab the Ingram ammo and bust 
through the window, carefully walk along the nearby pipes and stop when you get to the middle, if 
you peer into the room a little you will notice a few mobsters inside this next room, shoot the first 
and the rest will come to you, kill them as well, next if it hasn't happened already blow out the tv to 
turn off the disturbing program called Address Unknown.
Collect the Ingram ammo in the nearby closet and bust through another window and walk accross 
another set of pipes and to the door to get another load sceen. Your getting very close to Gognitti, 
head to the right and wait there as two mobsters are a floor above you, have Max shoot them both 
one is off the left the other off to the right, head to the right and wait by the wall as two mobsters 
are trying to figure out the rigged explosive, as you can see, they don't. Go to the door near the 
now nearly delapitated wall, it will then fall over have Max jump over the wall, as you come to the 
doorway wait by it and two mobsters will run towards you wondering about the explosion, shoot 
them as they come to you. Head up the broken down floor and into the next area, a mobster will 
appear right away in front of you shoot him before he shoots you, go for the nearby door for the 
load screen. Max has finally found Vinnie Gognitti, you can tell by his whining in the next room, 
grab the painkillers on the stove and head through the door, after the cutscene use bullit time to 
kill Gognitti's mobster thugs. Gognitti's been shot so Max needs to find him and get the information 
from him about Lupino or he will die thus negatting Max's quest for the truth. First click on the 
letter on Gognitti's desk for a cutscene, now head through the nearby doorway as you can see by 
the blood Gognitti's time is running out, jump through the window and after the cutscene go after 
Gognitti, on your way there is some Ingram ammo in the cabinet, when you catch up with Gognitti 
he nearly commits suicide by jumping for the train, to follow him you will have to follow his lead by 
having Max jump for a train of his own, just wait until a train comes and jump as far as you can 
before it gets to Max, "Before it gets to Max" remember this or you will fall to your death. 

Chapter Seven: Police Brutality
The stubborn Vinnie Gognitti won't make this easy for Max he survived his jump from the train so 
you need to catch up with him, to start out jump down off the roof and onto the nearby pipes, walk 
accross the pipes and onto the ajoining rooftop, as you make your way forward two mobsters will 
come at you, use bullit time and dispose of these guys with your Dual Ingrams. More blood spatter 
on the ground it looks like Gognitti's been through here, run across the rooftop and jump to the 
next building, as you land two pissed off mobsters will come running from the building across from 
you above Max, shoot them and continue running past the rooftop. Follow the bloodtrail to the 
door and you get a load screen, if you want you can shoot the police chopper that comes for you 
on the rooftop but it won't do anything so i would just run to the door. Head down the first set of 
stairs and three mobsters will try and cap you, cap them instead and run past the Cold Steel office 
and down the next set of stairs. Hmmm Cold Steel office a prelude of things to come we'll just 
have to wait and see, as you make your way down the steps you will see Gognitti's blood stained 
hand prints on the wall, Max has gotta find him before he bleeds to death. Go through the door to 
the far left and wait by the wall as there are three mobsters waiting here for Max, jump out and 
shoot the first behind the barricade to the right, that will usher the next two mob guys, the first will 
run towards you shoot him as he makes his way across the basketball court, then shoot the next 
guy by the fence, collect the Ingram ammo and go through the fence door for the second load 
screen of the chapter. Head forward but be ready as there's some close combat up ahead, shoot 
the first guy as he runs towards you, next head up the nearby raised walkway and wait at the top 
for cover then leap out and kill the mob guy above you, now go for the elevator Gognitti was on 
and click on the button in the corner to go up. As you get to the top a mobster will be firing at you 
through the fence, run to cover and duck up ahead then when your ready spring out and shoot this 
mob jockey. You will spot more of Gognitti's blood, head past it and through the area to the left but 
be ready as the mobsters here know your coming so jump out from behind the wall and shoot the 
first, more will come for you from behind the billboard one will throw a grenade but it shouldn't get 
anywhere near you so your fine, shoot them both as they come to you. Walk along the catwalk 
past the first billboard then wait behind the wall as there's another mobster here, jump out and kill 
him and grab the painkillers on the ledge, as you make your way past the next two billboards you 
will come to a glass opening in the ceiling where down below another V deal is going down, shoot 
both mob guys and jump down into the room. If you aim for the white gasoline container it will kill 
both thugs for you but it's kinda difficult so i recommend just killing them while there backs are 
turned, shoot the box next to the gasoline containers and a painkiller will be inside. Go for the door 
to the right and up the stairs for another load screen, jump down onto the fire escape and head 
down a floor into the room, click on the tv for a cutscene, you will see a dead mobster ahead of 
you, Gognitti probly shot him for some stupid reason. As you collect the painkillers from the 
nearby bathroom, you will overhear some mobsters that know your coming, wait until he's done 
talking then open the door and waste him, keep going around the corner equip a grenade and toss 
it towards the mobsters and watch them fly through the air or you can just use bullit time to kill 
these mob guys it's up to you. Go for the door in front of you and into the next one ahead of you 
as you step outside, when the mobster appears run towards him and he will retreat back to the left 
and throw a grenade but if you keep running after him you will be out of the blast radius, kill him 
and go through the door behind him. You see that Vinnie's run out of places to run, so if you can 
get through Gognitti's mobsters Max can finally question him, head forward to the edge of the 
raised area and shoot whatever you see, you should see about five or six mob guys run towards 
you below waste them before they can, then go look down the staircase a mobster will appear 
here so shoot him down. Now if you want you can run down the steps into the last few mobsters 
left or gun them down from your raised area, it's up to you, when the last mobsters dead head 
down the steps and to the left where Gognitti is defenseless now or is he, he will try and gun Max 
down but he's a lousey shoot, shoot Gognitti until he falls to the ground, now it's shakedown time. 
After Max get's what he wants from Vinnie Gognitti he will head to Ragna Rock to find Jack Lupino 
and put an end to this.

Chapter Eight: Ragna Rock 
Be warned these next two chapters are extremely violent and disturbed as Jack Lupino has lost 
his damn mind thanks to Valkyr, so be ready for anything. Max believes that Lupino is responsible 
for everything so far so let's give Max the revenge he deserves. To start out look in the nearby 
booth off to the far left for some Shotgun ammo, next go for the booth across from you to the right, 
there is a security lever in here press it and an entrance will be revealed. As the passage opens 
one of Lupino's goons will come walking over blissfully unaware that Max Payne is here to break 
up this party, shoot him and head into the room, take out the next wino and click on the book on 
the table for a cutscene. You see what i mean, things are goin get darker and darker as we get 
closer to Lupino, collect the painkillers and ammo on the shelf and go through the door to the left, 
kill the mobster as soon as the door opens then quickly shift left and shoot another mobster, now 
shoot the mob guy ahead and above you firing madly, there is one more mobster armed with 
some Molotov Cocktails above you so be careful not to fry Max attempting to shoot him. Head 
through the double doors to the right of the weird dance floor, go through the already opened door 
ahead of you but be ready as there are two mobsters to the right, shoot these fools then go 
forward, one more mobster will appear in a trenchcoat shooting at you from the left, if you have to 
use bullit time to dispose of him. Look for the door to the left of the main dance floor with the Bar 
sign next to it, as you come inside three stone cold mobster killers will come at you, shoot each 
one and collect the painkiller on the shelf to the right, then click on the books near the blood 
stained wall for a cutscene, now have Max go for the door to the left for the load screen. Head up 
the stairs and wait at the top, some of Lupino's men are in here talking about their boss, when 
their done go inside and cap all three mob guys near the table, i hope your ready for some more 
mobsters cause here they come, to do this right wait by the pillar to the left and as each mobster 
comes to you waste him, do not go running after them as they will fill you full of holes. Blow 
Lupino's Valkyr stash and collect the ammo from the table and the now dead mobsters, there are 
also some  painkillers in the boxes on the table nearby and one on the shelf next to the pillar. 
There are boxes full of Valkyr here and one of them is open so if you want shoot the cannisters of 
Valkyr in the box do so, head down the walkway to the left and collect the Shotgun ammo on the 
shelf, keep going untill you reach an open area to the right, wait by the wall and when your ready 
spring out and shoot the mobster who comes towards you, i recommend wasting him with one of 
the Shotguns as he will fly back and fall down into a pit. Now go towards the stairs and shoot the 
next mob guy who's firing his Berettas madly, as you go up the stairs keep your aim up as there 
are some mobsters that will shoot at you from the top, when they appear if you can, kill them. After 
you've wasted him head up the stairs and watch for the final mobster and kill him too, go through 
the door and now your back out in the freezing cold, head for the opening nearby. Watch as you 
enter not only will you fall to your death but there is another mobster late in the action firing at you 
from the bottom, shoot him and make your way carefully across the small beams to the next 
opening to the left, guess what your back outside. Navigate across the rooftops until you reach the 
door to the far right, this shouldn't be too difficult just lead Max to the door for another load screen. 
Head down the steps but watch as two mobsters will come running after you, i would wait for them 
to come to you before killing them, go down the rest of the steps and kill the next mobster at the 
bottom, click on switch for the medal door to open. Shoot the mobster with the trenchcoat on in 
front of you and wait near the steps, as each mobster punk makes their way up the steps ice each 
one, there should be three of them. Now go down the steps and if you want to jump up onto the 
drums and click on them and Max will do a quick drum solo, then click on the microphone to the 
left and Max will say "Kariokee never was my seen". After the misguided fun head up the steps to 
the left, after grabbing the painkiller click on stage control and a backwall behind the drums will 
open, if you want to have some more misguided fun click on the pyro control and some pyro will 
emit on the stage. Don't head for the open backwall though as two mobsters will come after you 
so just stay put for now, shoot the first and then the next as he runs towards you, now you can 
head through the backwall. Go up the stairs to the right and now you will have to solve the 
backwall puzzle, okay first click on the first lever and a backwall will slide to the right, now click the 
second lever and the backwall will slide up, next click the forth lever and the final backwall will 
slide up. Now head past the backwalls and shoot the mobster on the stairs with the grenade, head 
all the way up the stairs and take the walkway to the hidden door where Lupino lurks up ahead, be 
carefull walking down the wodden boards as one of them will break and send Max about three or 
four floors to the ground. 

Chapter Nine: An Empire of Evil
This is it, no turning back, time to find Jack Lupino and make that son of a bitch pay for what he's 
done to Max. Click on the torn letter on Lupino's couch for the first cutscene, don't worry you will 
meet The Trio soon enough, next click on Lupino's notes on the table, finally click on Lupino's 
pedestal for the final cutscene, yeah Jack Lupino's crazy all right, so i guess now it's time you end 
his dillusional life. Head for the opening to the left, on your way you will hear Lupino in all his sick, 
demented glory, find the cagged door and click on it to enter, here we go.....keep this in mind 
Lupino's mobsters will come from the corner to the left and in front of Max to the far left passed the 
bowl of blood, also during this massacre two separate mobsters will appear above Max to the right 
and shoot at him from there, when you pop the first the next will appear. After you hear a gong or 
something go off that's when the hell will start, get to the middle of the room right in front of the 
bowl of blood, the first mobster will come from the corner to the left so pop him, the next will come 
from the far left so shoot him too, they will keep coming from these two areas, i think there is 
about 10 or 11 of them, just keep capping them one by one and quickly reload and you will be 
fine. Now that their taking care of there are two more mobsters above you to the right, both will 
throw Molotov Cocktails at you and will fire their Dual Beretta's, first collect the painkillers and 
ammo from the surrounding tables in the area, you will need them for Lupino and his bodyguards, 
now kill the first mob guy above then the next will appear so kill him too, get in a good position 
before Lupino reveils himself, try to get beside or behind the blood bowl in the center of the room. 
After Lupino's bonechilling entrance his bodyguards will rush at you with Dual Ingrams, so use 
bullit time and kill them with your own set of Dual Ingrams, now Lupino will step up and try to take 
you out, by this time you will probly run out of Ingram ammo if you do just use the Pump Action 
Shotgun to nail Lupino with, get close to him while avoiding the Molotov Cocktails he has and get 
good shots and he should eventually fall back DEAD......is it finally over, has Max gotten his 
revenge, has Valkyr's flame been extinguished, i don't think so.....in will walk Mona Sax a hired 
killer, she will give Max some new vital information but will knock Max out with a tainted glass of 
whiskey.

Part II: A Cold Day in Hell
You will find yourself in one of Max's nightmares and you have to get him out, this whole thing is 
basically a maze and i will guide you through it. Head forward and to the right down the long 
hallway when you reach the end turn right, head down another long hallway and you will come to 
a crossroad either left or right, go left down the hallway then you will come to a three way 
crossroad, go left again and you will come to another crossroad, go left yet again and follow it 
straight forward until you reach Max's old livingroom, pretty simple. Hmmm someone's talking to 
Max while he's out of it wonder who it could be, click on the nearby picture of Max and his good 
friend and collabrative partner Alex, then click on the Payne family portrait for another personal 
cutscene. Now head up the stairs and through the bathroom door as you approch the door 
connected to the bedroom a wooden barrier will seal off the door, i don't know about you but the 
first time i played this game that part definetly caught me by surprise. Go back into the room you 
were just in and walk through the door in front of you, follow the hallway to the first blood trail, 
here's where things get complicated. You have to stay on the red blood trail or else Max will fall to 
his death so walk carefully and don't fall, go forward and turn right, by now whoever is talking to 
Max will cue in again just ignore him and keep going. Keep following the path and when you come 
to the second crossroad jump left onto the next blood trail, follow that path until it ends and jump 
forward, then follow that blood trail and turn right, keep following until you reach the joining 
hallway. Walk down the hallway and when you get to the Baby's room Max will cry out in pain, go 
through the door to the left and follow the long hallway, when you get to the end the mystery man 
will chime in again, who is this guy? Click on Michelle's diary for the final cutscene, it appears 
Michelle knew something about Valkyr and didn't get a chance to tell Max about it, as you attempt 
to go through the door to the left, Max's wife will scream out in horror to end the start of a new 
revelation.......you may be wondering why Max shoots off a few bullits and says "Murderer you 
killed Her", it's because Max blames himself for what happened to his family, thereby self-
consciously he thinks he killed her. 

Chapter One: The Baseball Bat     
When Max wake's up you find out who's been talking in on Max's nightmare Frankie "The Bat" 
Niagra, after Niagra cracks Max in the head a couple times with his Baseball Bat and leaves you 
will have to escape Lupino's hotel, told you you would be back here. To start out go get the 
painkillers in the closet in the corner behind the boiler, use one of them but save the other for 
later, now go open the door to the right, don't go through it yet just open it, eventually you will hear 
and see some of Niagra's mobsters. Let the first set go by then after the second set pass run out 
and nail them with the Baseball Bat, Max will pick up the dead mobsters weapons so shoot the 
remaining mobsters, be quick as more will come from around the corner in front of you, use bullit 
time to waste these mob guys and make sure you have enough ammo before you enter bullit time. 
After their all dead go to the room to the right and collect some needed ammo and painkillers, 
there is one more painkiller in the room across from you with the slate door half open, make your 
way through that room and back into the hallway. There is a door to the left with two mobsters in 
it, enter quickly and ice each one, click on the comic strip for a cutscene and collect the ammo and 
head for the elevator in the hallway to the left for the load screen. When you reach the bottom exit 
immediately and shoot the two mobsters here, walk over to the half opened slate but quickly 
descend back as a mobster will throw a grenade, now head past the slate and to the wall to the 
left, use the wall to run and gun down the mobsters to Max's right, if you got good aim you could 
throw a grenade but i recommend using the wall for cover. Now jump out and shoot the final 
mobster in front of Max and collect the ammo and the painkillers from the medicine cabinet, head 
through the open doorway to the left, as soon as you enter another mobster wearing a trenchcoat 
will come into view, go over to the boxes and wait behind them, when he comes back spring out 
and kill him. Head past the half opened slate and jump down off the steps, your back outside in 
the frostbitting cold, go down the alley and turn left, run down the street towards the front of 
Lupino's hotel, you will see that the cops were here and unfortunetly for them they were killed by 
Frankie and his boys, head inside Lupino's hotel for the load screen. Go inside and turn left and 
into the door that says Lounge above it, more talk about The Trio, when the cutscene ends head 
inside and cap all three mobsters, click on the radio for the cutscenes. So it looks like The Don 
has not only framed Max but has put a hit on him, time to finish this and leave, if you want go into 
the room to the left and see your previous work when you were here before stopping the V deal, if 
not go down the hallway and into the bathroom. There is one last mobster in here taking a shit, so 
cap him on the toilet seat, now head to the Bar where you already killed Rico Muerte and Candy 
Dawn. After Max dives out of the way there will be a mobster right in front of Frankie, if he see's 
you he will come after you so shoot him first, there is another inside to the left and if he hasn't 
seen you already shoot off a few bullits and he will come running at you to his death, be carefull 
as he's got a Sawed-Off Shotgun that will tear you apart. Now to deal with Niagra and his little 
buddy behind the counter, if you kill the mobster behind the counter first Frankie will come running 
at you with his Dual Ingrams and he packs quite a whallop so waste Frankie first then the mobster 
behind the counter. Play run and gun with Frankie using the doorway as cover, also wait until 
Frankie is reloading then shoot him, do not run into the Bar as you will definetly get killed, you may 
get hit a few times but eventually Frankie "The Bat" Niagra will fall, now just toss a grenade or 
Molotov Cocktail if you have them at the final mobster and this will end the chapter, if not just 
shoot him.

Chapter Two: An Offer you can't Refuse
Now that Max has the facts he must head for that bastard Angelo Punchinello but wait it looks like 
Max has finally found an allie in all this "Vladimir Lem", not that a former NYPD Detective makes a 
habit in helping the head of the Russian Mafia but in this case Max has little choice. Max is gonna 
need some better hardware and Vlad's the man to get it for him but there's always a catch you will 
have to kill Vlad's former employee Boris Dime. To start head forward into the booth near the gate, 
there is one mobster inside kill him and open the gate with the switch on the side near the door, if 
you want for the hell of it instead of rushing through the door to kill him right away, you can use 
bullit time and dive to the right of the booth gunning him down in true Max Payne style. Now head 
through the gate and kill the two mobsters who come at you as you enter the area, collect the 
ammo and go for the sliding storage door to the far left past the stairs, you will hear some mobster 
talking about beating someone up, like poetry to them or something. Hit the swich near the sliding 
storage door and as it ascends dive through and kill both of them, another mob guy will appear on 
the walkway above you and throw a grenade so aim for perfection as you kill him too. Jump up 
onto the white crates in the corner and collect the single painkiller in the corner, now jump onto the 
other set of white crates and jump up to the broken walkway, collect the painkiller and Ingram 
ammo down the walkway and jump down and go for the only door, be carefull as you jump down 
because if Max falls far enough it will hurt him so jump onto the white crates then to the floor. As 
you head through the door you will see a mobster go up some steps with his back to you to the 
right, shoot him or wait until he's close to the explosive red barrel and shoot the barrel to kill him, 
immediately another mobster will come at you with Dual Ingrams from the truck so waste him also. 
Collect the ammo in the truck and head for another sliding door, as you enter a mobster will fire at 
you from the walkway above you so kill him, head for the makeshift elevator in front of you and 
click the switch to get up to the walkway, collect the painkillers in the medicine cabinet and switch 
the lever at the end of the walkway, as the crane lifts the white crate two mobsters will come from 
the sliding door, i recommend just shooting them but you can also throw a grenade to dispatch of 
them quicker, go back down using the makeshift elevator and go through the door to get your first 
load screen.
Your getting closer to the docks, as you head forward you will see a mobster walking and whistling 
to your right, gun him down and wait by the nearby metal crate, another mobster will come into 
your view walking forwards, run out and kill him. There is ammo in a small alcove to the right if you 
need it, if not head forward where three mobsters will try to waste you, shoot the first and the next 
will fall into line, the next one you may have to use bullit time he can be tricky. Collect the ammo in 
another alcove to the far right behind the crane, now jump up onto the crane to get to the control 
panel, hit it and watch as it will lift the medal crate blocking your way up ahead, immediately a 
mobster will appear above and behind Max so aim wisely and kill him, two more will come from 
behind the now lifted metal crate so shoot the both of them and head towards the lifted metal 
crate. Head forward, be warned don't go back after your past the metal crate because it falls back 
to the ground and will crush you if you do, run around the side and you will see a crate 
transporting machine of some sort, run fast to the opening to the left and wait in there or the 
mobsters will crush you with the machine. After it crashes head out and shoot the two mobsters 
coming at you from the right, collect the painkiller if you need it and go for the opened area in front 
of you for the load screen. Go forward and duck behind the crate as another one of those damn 
machines is headed for you, this time there is one mobster firing at you from the top of it, get a 
good shot and spring out and waste him, it may take a few trys but you should get him. Two more 
mobsters will come running and wait for any signs of Max up ahead, if they see you they will come 
running so jump out and shoot one and the other will come running to his death as you gun him 
down too. This part is chotic and bloody so get ready to waste some mafia assholes, before doing 
this there is a single painkiller in a box near where you started out if you need it, now head forward 
to the left and a mobster will come at you so shoot him, the next will do the same so waste him 
also, the final mobster will roll out, shoot him before he advances. Go past the three mobster 
corpses to the left and shoot the two mobsters here, one of them will raise the bridge so you can't 
advance but that will only hinder Max for a few minutes as there is a solution up ahead. If you look 
closely there is a medal door crate entrance to the left, as you head towards it you will here a 
mobster expecting the now dead Rico Muerte, shoot him and head inside, click on the note for a 
cutscene. Hmmm it appears that Muerte had a contract to perform before Max killed him, even 
more suspicious is the fact it doesn't look like a mafia contract, grab the brand new Sniper Rifle 
and the painkiller and head back outside to the left. Wait by the wall as a mobster will appear far in 
front of you, equip the Sniper Rifle and watch as the bullit finds it's target turning his brains into 
swiss cheese, you may miss but if you go to one knee this will steady Max for a better shot, keep 
this in mind in the future. Another mobster will appear right away so use the scope and shoot him 
too, head to where the now dead mobsters are, ignore the area to the left and right as it leads to 
nowhere but water and for some reason i guess Max can't swim because if you jump into the 
water he will die. Shoot the lock on the fenced door and go inside to collect the ammo and a 
painkiller, now go back and equip the Sniper Rifle once again, to the right through the fence you 
will see a truck on a slope and preventing it from rolling is a wheel stop, use the scope to shoot 
the wheel stop and watch as the truck rolls into the bridge. Now head back to the bridge but be 
wary as another mobster will come from far ahead, shoot him with the Sniper Rifle and head 
towards him. Now things are going to get chotic as you head past the wall to the left a mob guy 
will come at you so shoot him, wait by the wall and if he hasn't seen you spring out and try to 
shoot him, the mobster ahead of you will now head towards you insanely firing his Dual Ingrams, 
wait for the right moment and jump out and shoot him, another two mobsters will head towards 
you so pop them too, yet another will fire at you from far ahead so kill him also. With all these 
dead mobsters in the area it looks like the damn city morgue, anyways now that the bridge is 
down go past it, as you head past it a mobster will run out of a room to the right, kill him and his 
quiet little buddie up ahead firing at you from the opened door. Go inside the room and click on the 
nearby computer to see a hidden room, click on the panel near the wall and it will slide across to 
reveil the hidden room, collect the ammo and painkillers from the both rooms and go back outside. 
As you head back outside another mobster late in the action will open the door and probly startle 
you, kill him and head for the door to the far right at the top of the stairs to end this cold and 
bloody chapter.

Chapter Three: With Rats and Oily Water
Your getting closer but your not quite there yet, this entire warehouse will turn into a war zone in a 
second or two so get yourself prepared, there is a mobster in plain view above you, shoot him and 
head to the right, before you go right though another mobster will come at you so kill him also, 
now head for the shelf in front of you at the far side of the room for some Ingram ammo. Go back 
to the opening where the previous mobster came from, as you head into this area another 
mobster will come shooting at you from behind the shelf in front of you, kill him and collect the 
ammo on the shelf then another mobster will appear above you and toss a grenade, avoid the 
explosion area then waste him and go right, as you head right another mobster will toss a grenade 
at you so quickly duck back and wait for it to explode then kill these two mobster punks. As you 
head for the walkway another mobster brandashing Dual Ingrams will unload on you but if your 
quick to the far right you won't get hit, now head up the walkway and kill this asshole, as you kill 
him another mobster will come from the door behind the crate in front of you, if you can manage it 
kill him before he runs after you, if not just wait until he reaches you then kill him. If you need them 
head back down the walkway and collect the ammo from the shelf to the left then to the shelf to 
the far left behind a few metal crates to get a painkiller and ammo, now head down the walkway 
following it to an open red metal crate to the left, if you want jump down onto the crates and jump 
into the open red metal crate for a painkiller and ammo, there is another painkiller and Ingram 
ammo on top of a different red metal crate to the left, it's a risky jump because if you fall it will 
probly kill Max either way head to the door at the end of the walkway. As you go through a 
mobster will roll and try to shoot you as a crate transporting machine is headed towards you, that's 
your ride so kill him and jump onto it, grab the Sniper Rifle ammo and as you will notice there are 
four control panels on this thing, oviously clicking the one to the left will make it go left, clicking the 
one in front will make it go forwards, etc....Now go into scope on your Sniper Rifle and you will 
notice a mob guy way up ahead in a booth, aim carefully when you shoot these guys because 
they have Sniper Rifles too and won't hesitate to use them on Max. If need be click the front 
control panel to get a closer shot, he won't see you so don't worry, as you stop click the left control 
panel and as you go left you will see three more mobsters with Sniper Rifles in their respective 
booths, go to one knee and kill the first in front of you to the left, then swing even more left and 
see the next mobster no more than 10 or 15 feet away from you, for some reason he doesn't see 
you not if you've alerted him that is, kill him and click the bottom control panel to go towards his 
booth. Equip your Dual Ingrams as more mobsters will come from below after you jump into the 
booth, once you've collected everything jump back onto the machine, use the small box like 
structure on the machine for cover as Max ducks behind it, when your ready jump out and ice the 
three mobsters in the distance, click on the control panel in front to go up towards the next booth, 
on your way there kill the next mobster with a Sniper Rifle using the scope. When you finally get 
there jump inside and collect everything again then quickly jump back onto the machine as two 
more mobsters will appear, they don't have very good shots so you should dispose of them with 
ease. Now click on the bottom control panel again to go back, when it stop's click the right control 
panel to go right into the opening, once again click the front control panel to go towards your final 
booth, jump inside and collect everything just like the previous booths then jump back onto the 
machine, as they appear kill both mobsters and jump to the door behind Max to get a load screen. 
The cargo ship Charon is very close so get ready for more bloodshed, run directly to you left down 
the walkway to the ramp going down, mobsters will begin shooting at you and you may get hit a 
few times but just keep going until you reach the bottom then unload on these bastards with your 
Dual Ingrams, after their dead head up the walkway they came from stopping at the bottom 
because two more mobsters are coming for you, wait for them to get to you then kill them both. 
Head up the walkway following it to the room in front of you, a mob guy will fire at you from a 
cagged area at the bottom but just keep going he's not important right now and he won't hit you, 
as you come to the room kill the mob guy and from looking out a window you have now found the 
cargo ship Charon. Gun down the mobster through the window on the ship, now press that button 
on the switch near the door to open the cagged area i mentioned before, three mobsters will run 
out after you. Head back outside the room and you will see the mob guys heading towards you, 
kill these unfortunate souls and go through the cagged area collecting the ammo and painkillers, 
alternatly you can also grab some Ingam ammo and a painkiller in a box in the far right corner of 
the warehouse. Now go through the door past the cagged area to find the cargo ship Charon, kill 
the two mobsters near the ship and go for the ramp to get on it, the guns will be below along with 
Boris Dime so let's go get Vlad's hardware. Head to the left and wait by cover while a mobster will 
come for you, shoot him and keep going forward and you will see another mobster on top of some 
red crates, aim upwards and kill him then that mobster who yelled out will come for you kill him 
too, there is a painkiller on top of some white crates on the ship behind you if you need it. Before 
you go for the ship's control room, throw a grenade towards the opened door and watch as a 
mobster will fly in the air from the blast, now go for the door as you enter the phone will start to 
ring, click on it for a cutscene. Ahhh Angelo Puchinello, don't worry you will be seeing him soon 
enough, collect the painkillers in the medicine cabinet and open the ship's door to the left, shoot 
the mobster that appears right away and head down the steps. As you go down a mob guy will run 
up the steps after you, kill him and take cover behind the yellow wall, now peak out and you will 
see another mobster ready for Max, jump out and blast him back with your Pump Action Shotgun, 
do the same thing up ahead and kill the two mobsters here. Now go through the door to the right 
and you will see Boris Dime, he may get a round or two into you as you head in but that's 
unavoidable, kill the first two mobsters with bullit time and as the next one comes do the same 
with him. It's just you and Dime now, use the crate in front of you for cover ducking behind it, now 
if it hasn't exploded already shoot the Molotov Cocktails behind Dime to send him to a firy grave, 
only shoot the Molovtov's when he's close to them or it won't work, to kill him using your guns play 
run and gun using the crate as cover, eventually he will fall down dead, use your Handguns as the 
Shotguns would be less effective at long range. Collect all the painkillers and ammo from the room 
and go for the door behind the now dead Boris Dime, as you collect the new Colt Commando and 
all the other ammo Vlad will come on the ship's horn congradulating you on your victory, head 
back up the stairs and the chapter will end with Vlad thanking you for everything.

Chapter Four: Put out my Flames with Gasoline
After talking with Vlad Max will cut a deal with Punchinello getting him to meet him at his 
restaurant but Max can't help the feeling that somethings not right about this. Take a few steps 
forward and you will see the restaurant erupt into flames, this was nothing but a trap! You still 
have to get Max out before he's burned alive, quickly run and jump on top of the table to the far 
right in the corner, use the next table in front of you to get to the double doors up ahead behind 
the bar, remember in these lit up areas it will burn up pretty quickly so follow my instructions and 
get in and get out. After your through the double doors the next area will explode into flames, 
oviously Punchinello has this place rigged, do not look back or the flames will consume you now 
head through the next set of double doors and to the right a group of shelf's will fall into the flames 
blocking your way. You have no choice but to jump into the flames to the door, you will get burned 
a little but it's better than ending up dead, re-load if you keep getting burned too much, the 
damage should only go up to Max's legs in the heath bar. Past the door the walls will be lit up by 
the flames, just stay in the middle and you won't get burned, head down the hallway to the left and 
the entire damn restaurant will begin to erupt into flames, be quick and avoid the flames from the 
left and right and walk down the middle of the room to the open area up ahead. After you go left 
another main part of the restaurant will go up in flames, this is a bit more tricky, avoid as much fire 
as you can and run to the tables to the far right, jump onto them and then past them to the open 
area to escape the flames, you may get singed but as long as you have some painkillers your 
okay, go left up the stairs and to the door to get a load screen. If you look up you can see the 
smoke billowing on the ceiling, as you head forward the room will yet again burn up into flames, 
go through the door to the right and you will see a bunch of racks fall over, the fire up ahead is 
blocking your way so use the racks to jump past the flames, jump off the rack past the flames and 
wait by the wall to the right as a gasoline container will fire off and explode into the wall, if you 
were standing there than well, you get the idea. Go to the left and jump past the shelves in the 
jumpable area, go through the double doors to the left and you will run into the first mobster in the 
chapter, kill him dead and Max will utter "Punchinello was burning to get me, the feeling was 
mutual he was trying to put out my flames with gasoline", collect the ammunition on the counter 
and also the painkillers too. Now to the left you will see an open slot, if you toss one of your 
grenades down there you will make short work of the mobsters down there, well the good news is 
your out of the flames the bad news is Punchinello's men are standing between you and getting 
out of here alive. Head down the steps in front of you past the now dead mobsters, in the corner 
you will see the way out and it looks like it leads into the sewers, before you descend i'd equip the 
Dual Ingrams but it's up to you, i think they work a little better than the Colt Commando, now 
descend down into the sewers and as you land three mobsters will run after you so gun them 
down with your bullit hose's. Head down the metal steps and wait by the sewer wall and you will 
see another mobster primed and ready to the right, jump out and shoot him, another Max Payne 
wannabe will spring out Payne style and try to kill you, teach this wannabe a lesson and smoke 
his ass. Follow the metal walkway all the way around to the right and you will come to more of 
Punchinello's mobsters, wait by the sewer wall and you will see the mobster down below to the left 
in the sewage ready to kill Max, spring out and shoot him then to the right behind cover on the 
metal walkway is another mobster hiding trying to get the jump on Max, waste him and head to the 
left. As you head for the way out of this disco inferno two last mobsters will try to gun you down, 
kill them and head up the steps to meet with Vlad and end this chapter.

Chapter Five: Angel of Death
Vlad will drop Max off at Punchinello's manor and now Max will finally have the opportunity to get 
even with the man who frammed him for Alex's murder "Angelo Punchinello", but this won't be no 
cake walk The Don's notorious bodyguards "The Trio" are standing in Max's way, but i can best 
phrase all this in Max's words  "Punchinello wanted Payne he'd see the Pain". Max will mention 
the dead bodies and the back door being open, in front of Max you will see them so head down 
the steps, before you go into the room to the left a mobster will come wandering around the corner 
up ahead, shoot him but now his buddies know your here, they won't come after you yet though so 
collect the ammo on the nearby shelf and go into the room to the left. When you enter you will see 
a guy who has a special message ingraved in him, click on him for the cutscene, this was oviously 
done by Mona before she escaped. Now head over to where you killed the first mob guy, peak out 
and you will see another mobster waiting for you, as you jump out to shoot him he will roll to the 
right then another mobster will join him, shoot him then go forward and use bullit time to waste the 
other one, before you head forward go into the room to the left for some painkillers, i recommend 
diving and using bullit time as you enter as another mobster with a Sawed-Off Shotgun with fire at 
you, kill him and collect the painkillers and go back where you killed the two previous mobsters. 
As you peak forward you will overhear some mobsters that know it's you, after their done chatting 
one will come for you with a Pump Action Shotgun, wait by the wall and when he's close enough 
waste him and head forward collecting the ammo on the shelf to the right. Now to deal with the 
last set of mobsters here, get a good spot by the wall then jump out and kill them both with bullit 
time, head through the door to the right to get out of the basement and to get a load screen. Head 
up the steps through the door and into the Manor's kitchen, a mobster will see you and run into the 
next room to warn the first Trio member Pilot Providence AKA "Big Brother", before you go after 
them click on the taro cards on the table for a cutscene, it looks like Mona's sister Lisa knows 
whats coming for Angelo Punchinello, collect the painkillers and ammo on the counters. Now go 
for that door and get ready for a gunfight, Pilot has the table for cover so the best thing for you to 
do is dive forward to the right behind the table using bullit time, without cover Pilot and his 
mobsters are finished so mow them down with your Dual Ingrams, Pilot Providence AKA "Big 
Brother" is dead, one down two to go. Stay focused though as two more mobsters will come into 
the room from the kitchen, kill them both then head back into the kitchen, go through the door near 
the refridgerator, as you go through a mobster will be waiting for you to the left, shoot him and 
ready your aim upwards as there is another mobster on the floor above you, he is right above you 
so shoot him then go through the door to the far right, to the left near the fireplace is a mob guy 
hiding behind a plant, shoot at the plant and watch him fall to the ground dead. If you want for fun 
click on the piano and the Max will try to play the Max Payne theme, if not go through the door to 
the right next to the piano, as you enter two mobsters will fire at you from behind the bar, kill them 
both but be carefull as one of them has an M79 a very deadly greanade launcher, collect the 
ammo and painkillers behind the bar and go through the door to the right for a load screen. You 
are getting closer to Punchinello but your not quite there yet, go forward and get ready as the 
action starts up quick, kill the first mobster near the stairs then the next as he comes from the top 
floor shooting at you wildly with his Dual Ingrams, you may take a few hits but there's a painkiller 
in the drawer to the right, head up the steps past the large painting and go right, your about to 
meet the second member of The Trio Joe "Deadpants" Salem but i guess now it's The Duo as 
Pilot's been killed, anyhow be prepared. Head inside and use bullit time to dive to your left and 
waste the two mobsters protecting Salem, then use your bullit hose's(Dual Ingrams) to put an end 
to Joe "Deadpants" Salem, one down one to go. After collecting the ammo head back out of the 
room and you will see a mobster fire at you from across the floor, try to shoot him befotre he runs 
back into the room, now go for the door he came from, it's locked but some mobsters will get an 
idea for once so get away from the door immediately, one of them will fire a grenade from the M79 
that will blow the door right off. Head back near the now delapitated door, do not just rush into the 
room as he's got an M79 aimed and ready to fire at you, first get prepared now all you can do is 
go into the room so just hope for the best and that this mob guys not a good shot, kill him and the 
next mob guy hiding behind the bed to the right in the corner, if your hit bad collect the painkillers 
in the drawer by the bed and outside by the blown out door. After collecting the ammo Max will 
receive a new weapon the M79 Grenade Launcher, this weapon is perfect for killing guys in 
bunches but don't fire it too close or you will end up dead, go right through the door. Yet another 
mobster will be waiting for you in the bathroom so kill him then wait for a second or two as another 
will come running to his death. Get the painkillers from the medicine cabinet then go into The 
Don's bedroom, Max will find Mona's sister Lisa dead, click on the bed for a cutscene. Max will 
hint that he can't tell who it is but if you look closely enough and have half a brain you'll see it's 
Lisa Punchinello, as you listen Max will here what sounds like a helicopter, who could that be? 
Head forward farther into the room and the phone will start to ring, pick it up for another cutscene, 
yet again Alfred Woden warns Max about the dangers to come, time to find Angelo Punchinello 
and put an end to this but first you have to deal with the final Trio member Vince Mugnaio. Go 
through the door past the telephone to encounter Vince Mugnaio, kill the mobster in front of you 
then turn your Dual Ingrams to Mugnaio, he will say a few words and try to avoid Max's gunfire but 
he's no match for Payne so kill him and put an end to Vince Mugnaio, Punchinello's Trio is done 
for! Go into the room past the now dead Mugnaio, kill the last two mobsters protecting The Don, 
then head inside Punchinello's office to the left for the cutscene, if you want collect the Ingram 
ammo in one of the cabinet's in the room, it will definetly help up ahead. After Punchinello's 
wasted by the new bad guys the killer suits they will turn to Max, kill all three of them, even though 
Max didn't pull the trigger he accomplised what he came here to do The Mafia Don Angelo 
Punchinello's dead, now Max has gotta get out of here before more killer suits arrive, head back 
the way you came through both doors but as you come to the second door Max has no choice but 
to surrender as he's outgunned and most importantly the real threat reveils herself.

Part III: A Bit Closer to Heaven
The mystery witch gave Max an o.d. of Valkyr, which means he's pretty much dead....or is he, time 
for another nightmare sequence and this time it's far more disturbing but if you can get Max out he 
will still be alive. Take a wounded Max past Punchinello's office through the open door up ahead 
to the left and he will end up in his old house again, when you enter Max's dead Wife Michelle will 
call to him and start crying, like i said a little disturbing. Make your way around the corner and you 
will now be in Max's old living room, go up the steps like the previous nightmare and walk through 
the door in front of you, follow the hallway until you reach Max's dead Baby Girl's room, after Max 
cries out in pain once again it appears that his Baby Girl's been dragged from her crib, you can tell 
by the blood on the floor, go to Max and Michelle's former bedroom to get a load screen. You will 
once again begin where you left off in Punchinello's office, this time with fire on the walls, their is a 
letter in front of Max on the table click on it for a cutscene, i havent mentioned it yet so i'll say it 
now, the writers did an excellent job in this game, their always keeping you thinking, that what sets 
the Max Payne series apart from any other games out there. Next pick up the ringing phone, after 
the cutscene go for the door to the left, yet again you will restart in the room, once again click on 
the letter in front of Max, then again pick up the ringing phone, once again i'd like to mention the 
terrific writing done by Sam Lake in this game, head for the door like before, this time you will 
begin at the start of Max's old house. Go forward past the two doorways and go right into Max's 
old living room for the last time, then up the stairs and forward to the green Valkyr like doorway for 
the load screen. Head down the nightmarish hallway and into the bloodtrail, you probley 
remember this from the previous nightmare Max had so you know what your doing, this time 
around though it's a bit more complicated as there are levels in this maze but don't worry i'll guide 
you through. Go forward onto the bloodtrail until you reach the first bloodspatter, jump down to the 
bloodspatter to the bottom right, be carefull as you descend and jump Max is extra slow in this 
nightmare, oh and if you fall into the blackness not only will Max die but his Baby will let out a very 
disturbing devil like cry. Follow the blood trail and when you reach the next bloodspatter jump 
forward to the next in the distance, follow that blood trail to the right, you will see a different level 
of the blood trail below, jump down onto it and try to aim Max for one of the bloodspatters. Go for 
the one to the right and follow it's path to another bloodspatter, jump for the next then follow that to 
another, you will see only two ways to go here, one will lead to Max finding his dead Baby Girl. 
Jump for the one in front of Max and it will lead to his Baby Girls fallen cradle, jump for it then the 
bloodtrail and bloodspatter sequence will end but once again Max's wife will scream out in horror, 
you will be taken to Max's bedroom where self-consciously he has himself cornered, the other 
Max will start firing at you so all you can do is shoot and kill the evil Max to put an end to this 
horrific, evil, green nightmare. Has Max somewhat forgiven a part of himself by killing the evil Max, 
only he knows that question. 

Chapter One: Take me to Cold Steel
After waking up nearly dead all Max has is his one lead "Take me to Cold Steel", so thats where 
he's headed. When you arrive you will be on a rooftop, shoot out the window nearby and drop 
down into the facility, ahead of you there is a bunch of laser wire, do not enter this room as this is 
a trap and these red beams are connected to explosive devices, you will see a lot of these from 
now on so your going to have to know how to get by them, pretty simple shoot the device the red 
beams are wired in to and it will explode, just make sure your not by them or you will get blown up 
too. After the explosion enter through the door on the right, collect the Sniper Rifle, painkiller, and 
ammo on the shelf nearby, there is also a grenade in one of the closets, now click on the radio for 
a cutscene. Here we go the first encounter with the Mystery Witch's mercenaries, go through the 
door behind the closed shudders nearby, below Max is the first of two mercenaries, shoot them 
both while moving to make it tough for them to kill you, you should know that by now if you've 
made it this far, across the walkway is a Colt Commando and ammo on a shelf, after you've 
picked up the ammo head down the steps, there is a large metal crate that says cold steel on it, 
open it to find another mercenary waiting to get the drop on you, be careful as you open it this guy 
packs quite a punch with his Pump Action Shotgun. Collect the ammo inside then go for the room 
across from you with the window, as you collect the painkillers and ammo a mercenary will come 
after you try to shoot him through the window, to the left on the wall in the room you will see the 
layout of Cold Steel, as you can see there's a lot of ground to cover. Now head to the sliding door 
and click on the panel for it to ascend, a mercenary will see you coming so kill him, then another 
will come from the door kill him as well, as you can probley tell by now these mercs wear flak 
jackets(bullit proof vests) so not all of your bullits will score home in the chest, if your skilled 
enough try aiming for the head, go through the next door and you will find more laser wire, step 
back and shoot the device it's attached to or just throw a grenade and exit the room, go back 
inside and a grenade will fly through the new porthole the grenade made on the top of the door, 
quickly exit the room and wait for the explosion, wait here because in a few seconds the merc will 
come and check to see if your dead, as he comes through the door shoot him dead. Now head 
back for the room and go through the sliding door as all hell will break lose as two mercs are here 
to stop Max, shoot both of them then another will come after you from above, wait for him to come 
to you then waste him, go up the ramp to get some painkillers from a medicine cabinet, if you wait 
and watch some burning hot lava will be poured into a vat, now head back down the ramp for the 
sliding door in the corner. Inside there is a number of crates blocking your path so if you want so 
more painkillers and extra ammo do the following, to the left you will see lava and some rocks, 
jump over the barricade and onto the first rock, then jump to the next, then the next, you get the 
idea now collect the ammo and painkiller on the shelf, now jump up on top of the crates to get out 
of this area but as you do another mercenary will be waiting for you, so shoot him. Now go for the 
door to the right in the corner, if you want some more ammo there's more of it on the shelf to the 
left, as you come to the door you will finally get a load screen. Ahead of you is some laser wire 
near the ground so don't be stupid and get Max killed, first there is some Shotgun ammo in the 
closet to the right, now jump over it and go for the door. Two mercs will come firing at you right 
away, waste the first on the walkway ahead of you then use the metal beam as cover to kill the 
next across the area, go for the walkway and click on the panel to get across, as you get across 
another merc will come for you from down the ramp in front of you, shoot him then another will fire 
at you from the door you came from get to the top of the ramp and kill him too, if your good 
enough you can get him through the metal on the ramp. Go through the door in the far left corner 
on top of the area, go down the long bleak looking hallway and as you near the corner a merc will 
jump out to kill you, shoot him then the next around the corner, as you come to the next corner of 
the hallway shoot the final mercenary in the hallway for the hat-trick. Go through another door and 
go left, two more mercs will come at you from seemingly nowhere, shoot the first in front of you 
then the second on top of the crate, now go through the door with the wooden ladder in front of it. 
As you come to the window ahead of you stop and you will hear some mercs talking about the 
names for their guns, arm a grenade and toss it into the room to blow these two to hell, go inside 
and collect the ammo, click on the walky talky close by for the cutscene, it appears the mercs 
have finally heard of the intruder, Max is close to the truth, too close for the mercs, Operation 
Dead Eyes has been initiated.

Chapter Two: Hidden Truths
Max is getting closer to something he's been dying to find "The Hidden Truths" and your going to 
help him find it, no fancy opening here just Max ready to blow any merc scumbag away. As you 
start out forward two mercs will run up after you, one from behind the glass in the room the other 
from the door, shoot both of them and collect the ammo and painkillers in the room and nearby on 
the shelf, click on the folder on the table for a cutscene, a preview of things to come, now go 
through the door and immediately shoot the merc waiting for Max. More laser wire, shoot the 
explosive device it's attached to then click on the wheel to turn the gas off and estinguish the 
flame, head through the door and go down the walkway, a mercenary will come running from the 
right on the walkway across from you, try to shoot him before he gets to the door, another 
mercenary will shoot at you from the bottom so aim downwards and kill him too. As you come to 
the end of the walkway the room is covered in laser wire, it is suicide to try and get through this so 
just toss a grenade in the room and exit, after the explosion go through the door and it will lead to 
the other walkway, you may have wait for the flames to die out after the explosion. Make your way 
down the next walkway and you will come to another room with laser wire, like before toss a 
grenade in and exit, another merc will come running for you from the previous walkway and he 
should catch you by surprise, wait until he reaches Max then let him have it with the Colt 
Commando. Head inside the room and you will see more flames from the broken gas valve, wait 
until the first one stops then pass it do the same with the next, be carefull as being caught by the 
flames takes a lot of Max's health, as you get past the flames another merc should be waiting here 
for you by a gate, shoot him and jump to where he is. Shoot the panel through the gate to open 
the gate, collect the ammo and painkillers then click on the wheel to turn off another gas valve 
flame blocking your way, go to the door for a load screen. A group of explosive barrels will 
explode as you begin remodeling the walkway area, before you do anything equip the Sniper Rifle 
then aim for the room with the window, aim for the edge of the window to the right and you should 
she the bullit come out the Sniper Rifle in slow-mo as it kills the hidden merc. Now be carefull as 
you navigate this walkway because if you fall it will take a lot out of Max's heath, once you reach 
the forklift near the ground jump down onto the crate it's propping up. Head for the walkway and 
click on the panel to get across, a mercenary will come from the left behind the crate so shoot him, 
collect the ammo in the metal crate and shoot the explosive barrel on the forklift to the right in the 
corner to remove it from Max's path. Wait until the flames stop burning then continue on through 
the door, quickly shoot the mercenary on the walkway above and in front of you then jump up onto 
the crates and then onto the top of the machine, now as you get a good shot shoot the next merc 
on the walkway above you, this part is a little tricky and you may fall but that's what the quick save 
feature is for, jump onto the blown apart ramp to get to the top. When you jump to it a merc will 
come running from the door with a grenade so shoot him dead before he can unload it on you, 
continue along the walkway to the left to where the now dead merc is, you should notice there is a 
beam here, follow it to get to the ammo and painkillers to the right, as you go for the ammo and 
painkillers another mercenary will come from below just keep going until you reach the shelf, now 
peak down and shoot this nuisance and jump back onto the beam jumping to the blown apart 
ramp and into the room. To the left behind the fence are two more mercs ready to dispatch Max 
Payne, kill them both and head into the room and collect the ammo and painkillers, click on the 
screen to unlock the gate and you will notice Max point out an elevator titled D-6 that will lead you 
to more of the facility. Exit the room and go past the now opened gate and as you can tell from the 
diagram on the wall to the right your almost out, go through the door and across the walkway as 
another mercenary will run at you from the bottom, kill him and head down the ramp, another merc 
will come at you from the left so waste him also, next click on the green panel to get the crane to 
make a doorway for you. Go over to the now vunerable sliding door and shoot out the broken 
area, be carefull though as mercs will instantly come from behind the rubble, if you want toss a 
grenade inside to eliminate the total threat, if not just keep firing until the mercs are down. Now go 
inside and into the next room, to the left behind the laser wire is the final mercenary so shoot him 
until he falls dead, if you need ammo shoot out the laser wire but i would recommend just going 
for the door ahead of you and getting the load screen. Your getting close to the elevator but it's 
heavily guarded so get ready for some major action, first off we must get out of this hot area so 
shoot the explosive device connected to the laser wire, now jump into the cart. If your a good 
enough shot equip the Sniper Rifle to take out the laser wire ahead of Max, i would just use the 
M79 to blow my way past the laser wire as it explodes on impact but it's your call, once you think 
the way is clear click on the panel on the cart to go forward, once you get to the end two mercs 
will come from the sliding door, if you still have your M79 equipped blow them to hell. Jump out of 
the cart and into the room past the sliding door but as you enter the other sliding door will ascend 
and two more mercs will come for you, kill them both and if you want click on the green panel to 
close the fire doors, collect the painkillers and ammo then head back into the previous room and 
through the door. A mercenary will be to the left behind a fallen shelf so shoot him dead, then 
another will roll your way as you go past so kill him also, go through the door to encounter the 
mercs guarding the elevator. Kill the first on the walkway then the next one past him in the 
distance, go for cover behind the large crate in the left corner as a mercenary is firing madly at 
Max from above trying to keep him from getting to the elevator, back up slightly and shoot him 
from behind the crate. Go for the walkway and click on the panel, as you notice the small little 
bridge breaks and you will now have to jump across, back up and get a running start then jump 
across, you may fall a few times but you will get it eventually. Your almost home free, go for the 
sliding door in front of Max and as you go through one final merc will throw a grenade at you so 
shoot him down before he does anymore damage, click on the D-6 elevator and the alarm will 
sound, back up a little because there is a little surprise for Max when the elevator gets to him, two 
mercs so be ready, when the elevator finally gets to the bottom have Max kill both mercs as they 
emerge from the D-6 elevator, get inside and click on the panel to get out of this part of the facility.

Chapter Three: The Deep Six
Max is nearing the truth and he's prepared to do anything to unravel the mysteries behind V, 
behind the mystery witch, behind everything. As Max reaches the Deep Six bunker he see's an 
encounter with a merc and two killer suits, after the suits deal and with the merc and set the self-
destruct they will notice Max, quickly get behind the barrier to the left for cover. Play run and gun 
with the two using the Pump Action Shotgun, once there both down head forward into the bunker, 
click on the logo on the floor for a cutscene, V for Valkyr, V for Valhalla, it looks like this has 
something to do with that V tag in Max's old house. If it's annoying you shoot the alarm above 
Max's head to silence the alarm, there are a few more of these as you make your way through the 
Deep Six, click on the green panel to go through the Processing Door, as you make your way 
through you will overhear a few mercs trying to get out, kill them before they can, if you look 
around you will see more evidence of the Valkyr drug but what does the Mystery Witch and her 
mercs have to do with it, you will soon find out. Head through the Test Facilities glass door and to 
the right and click on the next green control panel to get the load screen, go right around the 
corner and click on the screen to the right, you need to find the passcode in order to get into Block 
B so head back and go through the door titled Laboratories. To the right is the passcode you will 
need 665 the neighbor of the beast, as you head back there is a door to the left with some 
painkillers in it, now that you have the code it will unlock for you, head for the panel and enter the 
passcode and go into the elevator. You will emerge in Block B, some kind of holding cells, if you 
look to the left you will see a V head junkie not unlike the one's that killed Max's family, if you want 
some revenge open the cell and kill him but i would just keep going forward, when you get to cell 
B7 you will notice a chemist locked up, you remember now from the note you read before. As he's 
pleading for you to open the cell, open it and Max will demand his help, reluctantly he will accept 
and lead you to another elevator, as you emerge in another group of holding cells there will be 
one more V head junkie to the far right near the next elevator sitting in his cell, if you choose to kill 
him but i would recommend just going for the elevator with the chemist. Follow the chemist around 
the corner and you will run into two mercenaries trying to escape, kill them both before they harm 
the chemist, now keep following the chemist and he will lead you to the Decontamination 
Chamber, after he punches you through Max will let him go but as you can hear unfortunetly for 
him he's killed on his way out, as your put through you get the load screen. Go forward a bit and 
stop, don't go near the glass as mercs shoot a scientist trying to escape, after their gone go for the 
nearby door with the green panel, you can't get by here so go left and jump over the counter to 
bypass the flames, now head for the next elevator. It will take you to a net of laser wire so toss a 
grenade and stand back as the room explodes, head inside avoiding the remaining laser wire, you 
will come to a computer and all the answers Max is looking for are on it, click on the computer for 
the cutscene. Do you finally get it, the Mystery Witch is the one responsible for all of it, everything, 
the mafia were just pawns in her sick little game, the V head junkies were Valkyr test subjects that 
killed Max's family. Head for the storage door to the right for another elevator, as you emerge go 
for the panel nearby to get back into the Decontamination Chamber but as it opens the chamber 
malfunctions which means you have to get out of it yourself, not only that the self destruct is down 
to 30 seconds, outside the decontamination window is some laser wire, shoot the explosive device 
it's attached to blow open the door, exit and be quick move through the facility until you reach the 
final elevator that says Storage Surface, as the elevator takes you out do not stand on the metal 
grid under Max's feet as it will eventually fall off and if your standing on it, it will take you with it. 
Max will get to the bottom in time and escape just as the facility explodes, destroying every lead 
and all the evidence with it. 

Chapter Four: Backstabbing Bastard  
You remember that scene were Alex was shot down dead and his killer escaped, well that killer is 
none other than his so called partner in the DEA B.B., he was working for the Mystery Witch, he 
had sold Max out and wanted to finish the job, time to get some revenge for Max's now dead 
friend Alex Balder. B.B. will make a getaway in a car so you have to track him down through the 
levels in the Parking Garage, two of B.B.'s thugs will run towards you right away, kill both of them 
while moving, next go right and two more thugs will come after you from a distance, shoot them 
both down again while moving. Now near the opening to the garage are a bunch of barrels, there 
is a secret room near here so if you want to discover it just do what i say, if not just keep going 
into the garage, first jump up onto the barrel then to the next set and jump onto the machine 
sticking out to get on top of the roof, to the right is the secret room shoot the first piece of metal to 
the right and it will fall off, now go to the metal grid and stand on it to have Max fall through, you 
will land in the secret room where there is a dead mobster tied up and a Sniper Rifle and ammo 
on the floor, also the Rockstar Games logo will be on the wall with a radio and ladder next to it, 
click on the radio to hear a special message about the game, after the message is done exit 
through the door and go for the Parking Garage. Kill the first thug who comes into view, that is if 
you havent killed him already, then head down into the garage, as you descend another thug will 
roll out and shoot at you, shoot him dead and take cover by the boxes.Two more thugs will come 
into view so jump out and shoot them both from the distance and collect the ammo and painkiller 
nearby, you should have Dual Ingrams now i would get them out as your really going to need 
them. Head forward and gun down the two mobsters to the right next to B.B.'s thug car, be careful 
of the shooting coming from the thug car it packs a whallop, after it leaves collect the painkillers in 
the far left corner of the garage, go for the next level of the Parking Garage and the garage door 
will descend as you will get a load screen. Cautiously go forward and kill the first thug to the left 
then the two others that are coming up the ramp, it help's to use bullit time here, shoot the final 
thug in the distance and collect the Ingram ammo on the boxes in the corner, trust me you will 
need it. Now go down the ramp and reveil yourself slightly as B.B.'s thug car will keep going, next 
shoot the two thugs to the left and right and quickly move forward to get past B.B.'s firing thug car, 
go around the corner and shoot the thug waiting for Max dead, go forward and the next thug will 
try to surprise you to the right, shoot him dead also, collect the ammo and painkillers from the van 
and go for the next level of the parking garage. As you head for the next level two thugs should 
surprise you from the right, use your Dual Ingrams to spray these guys down, kill the next thug 
that appears at the bottom. Take cover by the boxes as the gate up ahead is locked, you should 
notice B.B.'s thug behind the gate, shoot him then the padlock on the gate and go forward, keep 
going forward as B.B.'s thug car makes another escape into the next level of the Parking Garage, 
when you come around the far corner another thug will appear right away so kill him then the next 
behind the parked van, two more are waiting up ahead so shoot these bastards down and head 
around the corner. Yet another thug will be waiting for you and will toss a grenade, try to get him 
before he tosses it but if you can't take cover and wait for the explosion then jump out and shoot 
him dead, as you come around the corner another thug will come, shoot him down. Another thug 
will come from the nearby room so shoot him like the others, B.B. sure has a lot of men but he 
can't run forever, go into the room and collect the ammo and click on the radio for the cutscene, 
collect the painkillers in the medicine cabinet in the far left corner then go for the next level of the 
garage to get a load screen. B.B.'s runing out of places to hide, go forward then down the ramp 
into the next level of the Parking Garage, shoot the first thug then the second at the bottom, be 
careful he's got good aim, now take cover by the wall and you will see one of B.B.'s thug cars 
crash and kill two of his own men, go forward and kill the thug firing the Ingram in the distance, 
then aim right and kill the next two thugs, keep going around the far corner and you will come to 
another thug hiding to the left, shoot him down. Two thugs will appear in the distance, use the wall 
as cover as one of them will run to you, kill him when he gets close enough, then the next thug in 
the distance, keep going into the next level of the Parking Garage. B.B.'s got no where to run as 
Max is closing in, when you get to the bottom shoot the first two thugs then the next to the right, 
these guys are good you may get hit a few times, go forward and right and you will see B.B.'s car 
crash and he will get out but his driver isn't so lucky as you will kill him dead, shoot the next thug 
in the booth to the right, collect the gun's and ammo in the booth and you now have a great new 
weapon the Jackhammer, excellent for killing at close range. Go around the destroyed car and 
you will run into B.B.'s final guard three thugs, use your Dual Ingrams to waste all three then creep 
around the van to see B.B. in the distance, once he sees you he will begin firing so just keep 
shooting him until he starts to run away, skilled shooters may be able to kill him here and now but 
he will probley get past you and go around the corner to the destroyed car, on his way he will 
preach to Max about morals and ethics, when you finally meet up with him near the crashed car 
shoot this asshole dead, you may have to put several rounds in him but he will fall, Alex's ghost 
can finally rest as his killer B.B.'s dead. After the bloody shootout the payphone will start to ring, 
pick it up and guess who it is, Alfred Woden.

Chapter Five: In the Land of the Blind
Woden will tell Max to meet up with him to discuss his real enemy, the Mystery Witch "Nicole 
Horne", after Woden and the The Others in the Inner Circle gives Max his new information, a 
bunch of killer suits will bust in and kill everyone, Max will dive out the window saving himself but 
now he's gotta find a way out of here. Start out forward and turn left and collect the painkiller on 
the box in the corner, next shoot the explosive device on the laser wire to the left or throw a 
grenade it's up to you, as you go forward one of Horne's merc will emerge right away in front on 
Max so shoot him dead, continue on around the corner and a few mercenaries will come at you 
from down the stairs, blow them away with your Jackhammer. Collect the ammo on the shelf then 
head up the stairs and through the door, as you walk forward to the right and above is a merc with 
a laser site on his gun, if you wait for him to pass you won't have to kill him but i would 
recommend killing him here now. Go forward then right into the Surveilence Room, from outside 
the door you will hear two mercenaries, one will rush in so blow him back with your Jackhammer 
then the next one as he comes too. Click on the surveilence screen to get the cutscene, "In the 
land of the blind the one eyed man is king", very true as Woden may be helping Max but he's still 
a man who wants power, head out the door and as you go left down the hall a merc will appear so 
waste him. Now head through the door to the left, kill the merc as soon as you see him as he has 
a Molotov Cocktail and it will kill Max instantly, go left and here's where the party begins with the 
elevators and staircases. Kill the first merc on the stairs then the next as he emerges from the 
elevator behind you, go up the steps but be careful as a merc will run down after you, shoot him 
dead and continue on up the steps. The elevator doors will open in front of Max but get back as he 
will throw two grenades down, after they explode shoot him when he emerges, collect the 
painkiller on his body and continue over to the steps, another grenade will come flying at Max so 
get back and wait for the merc to come down to see if your dead, kill him and head up the steps to 
the door for the load screen. Go right first and collect the painkillers and ammo if you need it, then 
go back left and you will come across some laser wire, jump over it and kill the first mercenrary 
that comes from behind the broken divider, now go past the now dead mercenary and you will run 
into another, shoot him and click on the radio for the cutscene. It looks like Bravura's getting sick 
of Max's antics, too bad he's way out of his league, keep going past the offices and there will be 
more laser wire to the left, you can ignore this or blow it away and collect some M79 ammo, it's 
your call, jump over the laser wire to the right and go through the door. Go right down the hall and 
you will run into two more mercs guarding this area, shoot both down and continue on to the door 
ahead of you to the left, click on the tape on the desk for a cutscene, then go into the office ahead 
of you and click on the blueprints for another cutscene, a taste of things to come, trust me fighting 
through Horne's fortress will be almost suicide for Max, go into the next room and if need be 
collect the painkiller and amunition in the cabinet to the left, then go to the door for the load 
screen. First off kill the advancing merc coming at you then go through the green panel door, stop 
as a merc will come running up the steps so shoot him dead, blow the laser wire then head down 
to the door to the right, shoot the merc as he surprises you right away then quickly get to cover 
where he's now dead in the corner because another mercenary is firing an M79 down below, wait 
until he runs out of ammo for his M79 then spring out and kill him from above. Go back out down 
the steps and go through the door to the right first, there is the mercs ammo and a painkiller next 
to the doors to the left and don't bother trying the doors their oviously locked, now go back to the 
door to the left and wait at the top of the stairs as two mercenaries are talking about best movie 
endings ever, wait for both of them to go down the stairs then toss a grenade down there, it will kill 
both of them without Max having to fire a bullit, jump over the laser wire and go through the green 
panel door. The first killer suit is here so kill him and shoot out the laser wire, the explosive device 
is to the left behind the box, more laser wire lays ahead, it's easier just to toss a few grenades 
stand back and enjoy the fireworks, once you've reached the next green door it will end the 
chapter.

Chapter Six: Byzantine Power Game 
Max is getting closer to the way out of here but the mercenaries are getting desperate and now 
they have some killer suits with them. Go left right away and kill the two suits here then another 
will run at you from the right so kill him as well, before you blow the laser wire in front of you click 
on the files on the desk for a cutscene, now blow the laser wire and take cover by one of the 
pillars to the left as there are a number of mercs ahead and above you. Equip your M79 and fire a 
few grenades into the area above and ahead of Max, aim for the gaps and you will hit a number of 
them, if there's any left clean them up with your Colt Commando then jump onto the downed file 
cabinets, follow them to the staircase then jump up and go down the hallway until it leads to the 
open doorway, you will run into a mercenary on your way there so kill him and continue on. As you 
climb up the steps to the door another merc will attempt to throw a grenade, shoot him before he 
can and head up the steps going past the pop machine through the door on the right. As you head 
into the liabrary three mercs will come from the ceiling by way of ropes, shoot them all dead and 
go up the nearby staircase and to the green panel door in the corner of the room for the load 
screen. Go forward a bit and stop you will hear a clicking of the door and eventually a killer suit will 
appear, shoot him through the glass and his partner who comes shortly after, head into the press 
room and quickly turn right as two suits will stroll right in, cap them both and collect the painkiller 
on his body if you need it, there is also a Sniper Rifle and ammo for it if you need it in the far 
corner. Go through the double doors past the now dead suits and go forward following the circular 
path and you will run into another killer suit, shoot him dead but watch out as his buddie has a 
Sniper Rifle nearby and one good shot can kill Max instantly, dispose of him and look down below, 
you should see a mercenary waiting for Max there, equip your Sniper Rifle and kill him before he 
even knows whats coming, go through the door nearby to continue. As you descend down the 
steps two mercs will come from the ceiling shooting at you, kill them before they hit the ground 
then keep going down the steps all the way through until you reach the green panel door, collect 
the dead mercs ammo and painkiller to the left and go through the door following it down the steps 
to get another load screen. Go for the open door nearby and wait by it as the killer suits who 
wasted the rest of the Inner Circle are discussing their jobs, after their through bullit time your way 
through the opening and blow both of these assholes away, if you click on the laptop on the table 
Horne's picture will show up, i'd blow the laptop away if i were you then if you shoot the projecter 
hanging above Max the screen will stop and the room will go dark. Anyways enough with the 
misguided fun, go through the door and the fight to determine whether Max leaves or dies begins, 
first cap the suit right in front of you then the one to the far right with the Ingram, follow that up by 
killing the final killer suit between them, finally shoot down the final two mercenaries running 
towards Max to put an end to this, collect all the ammo and the painkiller on the front desk and 
escape through the double doors.

Chapter Seven: Nothing to Lose
So we finally made it, the last stand, i hope my walkthrough helped and you got through relatively 
unscathed, now that Max is here he knows what he has to do, find the Drug Lord and president of 
Aesir corporation Nicole Horne and kill the women behind everything and finally get the revenge 
for his dead Wife and Baby Girl. Switch to your Dual Ingrams and head forward through the medal 
detecter to the left, as you go forward get ready as three mercs will come from the side wielding 
some heavy firepower, shoot them all down together then go to the far left against the wall. The 
reason for this is there are a few mercenaries far ahead and above Max with M79's and they pack 
a heavy punch, so slowly make your way along the wall and equip your Sniper Rifle, once you see 
the first merc on the very top equip the scope and take him down before he fires at you, go to one 
knee if you need to it will steady Max, you may get hit a few times but once he's down the firing 
will stop. Snip the next two mercs below him in the middle and to the right, you can just vagely see 
the one to the right, after their all down head forward and to the door to the right, two killer suits 
will come running out so be ready to kill both of them with your Dual Ingrams, collect the 
painkillers and ammo and continue through the door. On the steps you will see some laser wire, 
blow the explosive device on it and move a little up the steps, before running up the steps toss a 
grenade into the opening to the right and the next set of laser wire will blow up. Now you can head 
up the steps and as you do two mercenaries will come shooting from the top of the steps, shoot 
the first near the steps then the next to the right, after their dead go up the rest of the steps and 
get ready for a few intense gunfights. Kill the merc that starts firing in front of you then as you go 
right another will come out so shoot him down too, use the Jackhammer here for the close range 
fights, it helps, collect the painkillers to the far right in the medicine cabinet near the windows, 
head back and to the next set of steps and as you do another mercenary will come shooting at 
you, waste him and before going up the steps go through the nearby door. This is where you killed 
those mercs who were manning the M79's but to the left is the last one and he's not too happy so 
kill him before he can toss his grenade at you, go back to the steps and shoot out the laser wire. 
Continue on up the steps and follow it around to the two doors, a killer suit will come at you from 
the right so kill him before he kills you, if you go left the final dead merc who was firing at you 
earlier has some M79 ammo on his body, now go right and you will run into a mesh of laser wire. 
Do not go forward or try to shoot at the wire as it's not wired to an explosive device, you have to 
guide Max through this and if he triggers the wire than it will explode and he will be killed, first off 
when the first wire reaches the bottom jump over it, with the next wait until both wires connect at 
the bottom then jump over it, the next one just step through as it ascends and as you go through a 
merc will appear and probley surprise you quite a bit so shoot him down. The next set is as same 
as the previous wire just wait until both reaches the bottom connected and jump over it, step past 
the next laser wire then leap over the final wire to get through. Go forward and to the right and a 
merc will pop out so shoot him dead and continue forward, kill the next as he comes too, collect 
the painkillers in the far corner and head back to the elevator. Two final mercenaries will try to 
stop Max, shoot both of them for their troubles and click on the green panel elevator for a 
cutscene, Max again will meet the women who knocked him out with that tainted whiskey at 
Ragna Rock Mona Sax but as she tries to help Max she's shot in the head, use bullit time and 
dodge to the left quickly as Horne's suits are behind you, shoot the first two in bullit time then mop 
up the last one, you will most likely get hit several times but if you havent used them all already go 
grab the rest of the painkillers in the far corner. Go past the blood stained floor and into the 
elevator for another cutscene, Max will discover that Mona's somehow escaped even as she was 
shot in the head, a testiment to how tough she really is, you will also get the first load screen. Look 
up right away because as you can tell there is laser wire above you, this isn't that hard at all not 
after you know what your doing that is, shoot out the glass above the elevator then as the first wire 
comes toward you aim for the square like explosive device it's attached to, don't let it get too close 
though as it will harm Max, there are five of them so just take your time and aim correctly and you 
will be fine but if you think that was hard then what's ahead is nearly impossible. When the 
elevator doors finally open wait as two killer suits to the left are taking about bullit time, when their 
finished put what he said into practice and leap out of the elevator using bullit time and kill both 
idiots, quickly run for cover under the balcony, now when your ready aim upwards and spring out 
and shoot the first suit on the balcony, do the same with the next and head for the room to the 
right. Shoot the suit inside and click on the computer panel to get elevator access, as you head for 
the door the killer suits and mercenaries have set a trap and are waiting for Max so kill the first suit 
in front of you then use bullit time and kill the final merc and suit to the right, you will get hit but 
there's painkillers back in the room, go for the elevator and click on it to contine on, your nearing 
Horne's penthouse just one more thing to do, unlock the elevator. As you descend Horne's private 
chopper will come in and start firing at you, try your best to avoid the firing machine gun from the 
chopper and once the elevator stops shoot out the glass next to Max on the left and drop down 
into the next elevator, you may have to shoot the glass ceiling on the next elevator to get in it, 
once your in press the button and you will escape Horne's helicopter for now. When you stop wait 
in the elevator for a few seconds as the killer suits discuss their family's and job's, when their 
finished jump out and kill both suits to the left then quickly turn right and shoot the asshole with the 
Ingram, then go around where those last two suits were killed and shoot another suit with an  
Ingram and the last one above you. Go over to the mainframe and equip your M79, fire a few 
rounds into it and it should shut down allowing Max final access to Horne's Penthouse Suite but 
while your firing two mercs will come from the left so send them to hell with the M79, once it's 
completely down a final mercenary will emerge from the elevator Max needs to take to the right, 
shoot him and collect his ammo and painkillers then click on the elevator to ascend to Horne's 
Pentouse Suite. It's heavily guarded so be ready, exit the elevator and shoot the first suit on the 
stairs then use the pillar to the left as cover as Horne's mercs come down the stairs, kill each one 
as they come and then head up the stairs. Go right as the shooting starts and kill the mercenary in 
the small hallway then go into the room and kill the remaining two mercs, click on Horne's 
personal computer to get a cutscene, Max is fed up with all this and rightfully so, time to find 
Horne and end this whole thing but first go back and near the stairs there is a door go through it 
and you will see one final killer suit standing guard, kill him and collect his ammo, trust me you will 
need it and be quick as Horne's chopper is close by and it will come and chew you to pieces if you 
wait there long enough, go into the elevator to end the chapter.

Chapter Eight: Pain and Suffering
One last chapter and one last thing to do kill Nicole Horne and get revenge for all the things she's 
done to Max Payne. Horne will set off and leave her goons to do her dirty work, as the bullit proof 
glass is raised to the right kill the first suit that comes into view then the next after he throws his 
grenade, wait where you are as the final two suits will try to succeed where the other two failed, 
when they come around the corner be ready and if your low on ammo get good shots, kill them 
both and collect their ammo. As the screen is raised in front of you the killer suits have called in 
backup and it's that damn chopper from before, take cover behind the statue as Horne chimes in 
on the speaker trying to get inside Max's head and make him give up, stay behind the statue at all 
times during the shooting, the barrage will last a while but the chopper will eventually ride off 
leaving the killer suits to clean up the mess. Go over to the sealed red panel doors to the left and 
be ready as eventually two suits will come and see if your dead, kill them both to answer that 
question and go for the elevator to the left, wait for the elevator on the left to open because there 
is a killer suit who will come from it, be ready and once he emerges kill him before he can react, 
collect the ammo and painkiller he has then go through the door to Horne's Library, i know it must 
seem like there's no where else to go but to the right by the bookcase outside is a railing that will 
lead you to the next area but there's always a catch as Horne's helicopter will come shooting at 
you, there's really nothing you can do from being hit just be quick and get across as fast as you 
can, you may or may not get hit it just depends, once at the end jump into the balcony and go into 
the room and through the door for the load screen. Horne will chime in again on the speaker, just 
ignore her as Max is, she knows what's coming and she doesn't like it, the elevator to the left will 
open but ignore it as it's just a diversion as a suit will come running down the steps, kill him and 
collect the ammo and painkiller on his body. Be cautious as you head up the steps because a suit 
will toss a grenade at you, go back down the steps and wait for the explosion, head back up and 
stop at the top of the second set of steps by the glass wall for cover, wait here as they have you 
pinned down, equip a grenade and throw it into the area ahead, it should kill them so head up the 
steps and immediately two killer suits will emerge from an elevator ahead, get good shots and 
mow them down. As you head over to collect all the ammo and painkillers on all the now dead suit 
bodys another suit will jump out from the door to the left, send this ass to the nether world will your 
Colt Commando, you should have some Ingram ammo so equip your Dual Ingrams and go 
through the door on the left, shoot at the suits ahead of you then retreat back into the room, they 
will come to you don't worry so be ready and when they both come at separate times kill them 
both. Now head forward and you will run into another suit late in the action, shoot him dead and 
be cautious as you approuch the doors to the left because two well armed killer suits are waiting 
there for you, bullit time your way through and kill both of them, collect their ammo and go through 
the single door ahead of you. Horne will chime in one last time as the suits are complaning that 
Max can't be killed, Horne doesn't want to hear excuses as she tells them to do their jobs, on your 
way forward a suit will come from the right through the door, shoot him down and continue on to 
the steps, one final suit will try and stop you before you reach Horne's Private Quarters, he will 
jump out by the elevator so shoot him dead. Now go up the steps and it looks like you've tracked 
Horne down as you advance forward, this is a huge trap so follow my lead, first there is a suit to 
the immediate right as you enter the room, waste him and now turn your focus left to the real 
gunfight, keep to the left and kill the two suits ahead of you then shoot the one firing at you madly 
from the right using the left as cover, this will spring in the final suit and he will fire a few rounds at 
you but if you have cover your fine, he will eventually come running so jump out and kill him with 
bullit time, Horne left her killer suits to do the fighting for her and she got away up to the roof, to 
follow her click on the red panel on her desk to reveil a secret elevator to the left, go to it for the 
load screen. As you head up the stairs Horne will fire a few shots down at you and throw a 
grenade just ignore them and keep going, she may be brave but she's stupid to try and kill Max in 
a gunfight, when you reach the top she will flee to her beloved chopper. There's no way to get at 
her right, wrong, equip the Sniper Rifle and head left, to the left is a wire connected to a metal 
tower that is unstable and waving back and forth in the wind and snow, use the scope and shoot 
the wire out, aim for the white tag it's connected to. After it breaks quickly take cover left as a 
number of suits are heading your way, quickly equip a better weapon and get ready for them, 
jump out and if you need it use bullit time to kill all four killer suits that are heading towards you, 
once their dead you will have one minute to shoot the final wire. Quickly run over to the bars 
behind the now dead suits it's in the corner in front of you, get the Sniper Rifle out and get a good 
spot by the bars, aim corretly for the white tag and shoot off the final wire, now that the towers 
loose aim the Sniper Rifle upwards to the tower with the red lights on it and use the scope to shoot 
out the bars on the bottom, if your short on time just equip an Automatic weapon and shoot the 
hell out the tower to make it fall. The tower will fall and as the choppers taking off with Horne on 
board it will be crushed and will fall to the icy ground below, a piece of the landing pad will also 
break off making sure Horne is dead by crushing the helicopter completly when it hits the ground, 
this will probley jog your memory from the beginning as Max looks down at the wreckage below, 
it's over, finally over after god knows how many mobsters, mercenaries, killer suits, and corrupt 
men Max has killed it's done, Nicole Horne is dead, Max righted every wrong done to him and did 
the impossible, more than anything though Max's Wife and Baby Girl can rest in peace as their 
true killer is dead but now Max has no choice but to hand himself over to the police, don't worry 
though, Woden is Max's trump card and he will get him out of this, he'd better. In anycase i hope 
you enjoyed the game and Congradulations for beating Max Payne, i hope i helped, thanks........


                 6- Final Thoughts
                     
I've beaten this game on every difficulty, including New York Minute so head my words when you 
play and follow my Walkthrough correctly, thanks. On a separate note though i just wanted to 
personally thank Sam Lake the excellent writer of Max Payne for making the best game i ever 
played, the writing is remarkable and you should be proud, also i wanted to thank Remedy, 
Rockstar Games, and the producer 3D Realms. All you guys did a hell of a job and finally a very 
special thanks to Actor James McCaffrey who did Max's voice, the game wouldn't of been the 
same without you, thanks. If your wondering who did Max Payne's body in the comic strips look no 
further than the writer Sam Lake himself, Sam did the body of Max while James did the voice. So 
to you new Max Payne fans watch the credits to the end and you will see that Max is not done yet 
their making another Max Payne game and it's titled Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, so now 
you new comers will have to go out and play that one too, it's just as good don't worry and for you 
hardcore Max Payne gamers you will be happy to know that a third installment of Max Payne is in 
the works, now go outside and have some fun you've been in too long.....  


                  7- Cheats and Hidden Secrets           
       
1- If you beat the game on Fugitive you will unlock additional difficulty modes.
2- If you beat the game on Dead on Arrival or New York Minute you will be transfered to the "Final 
Battle" where you will have to kill enemies in bullit time, if you beat it, it will reveil a secret room 
with pictures of the people who made the game and other stuff.
3- I've been told this works so try it and see if it does, in Part 1 Chapter 2 you will have an 
opportunity to fight a bunch of armed rats, at the very beginning of the level throw a grenade in the 
hole of the brick wall in front of you, continue on in the level and eventually you will come across 
the armed rats to fight and on the objectives screen it should read "A war against rats". 
4- In the Tuitorial there is a secret room, jump onto the hood of the van then up onto the fire 
escape above, it will lead to a window, shoot through it and go inside and it will tell you that you 
have found the secret room.
5- On Part 3 Chapter 4 there is a secret room with a special message from some of the game 
creators on a radio and a mobster tied up dead on the floor with a Sniper Rifle and ammo next to 
him, also the Rockstar games logo will be on the wall. Just follow what it says to do on the 
Chapter in my Walkthrough and you will find it.
