Mafia II/Chapter 6: Time Well Spent

This chapter describes Vito's stay in prison for the unlawful distribution of gas stamps during the war effort. The chapter mostly focuses on doing simple tasks, or getting into fist fights.

The introduction is a long interactive cutscene, where you get to see Vito prepared for prison. Follow the instructions as requested.

Contact Leo Galante
You'll receive a message from Joe to meet with Leo Galante. To find where he is, you can speak with another inmate near a fence to find where he is (also showing a radar blip). Additionally, you will want to find two playboy articles in the prison courtyard.

When you approach Leo, which is on the opposite side of the prison, you will meet Brian O'Neil. He will start a fist fight with you - which works like any other fist fight in the game. Regardless of who is victorious (although Brian will auto-counter if you injure him enough), the guards will arrive and throw you and Brian in solitary.

Learning fighting moves
Leo Galante will arrive, and bring you out of solitary and into the gym - not because of your contact with Clemente, but because you're the right man for an upcoming job.

He will have you train with Pepe, specifically to teach the counter punch move. It is performed by holding the dodge button, then swinging a punch after the opponent makes his attack. If you can land the counter-punch three times, the training session will finish. You can now speak with the other prisoners in the gym, or exit at your leisure.

Mr. Wu
Mr. Wu has the first challenge, where Vito fights against his chosen fighter. The combat is likewise simple, and relies on the counter-punch mechanic you learned. Once you land a few hits, the opponent's guard will weaken and he will be more vulnerable to attack.

Laundry room
One week later, you're late for work but another prisoner has you pulled away because Galante wants you to do handle a challenge. One of the prisoners in the laundry room, and wants to fight against you. Use the moves already learned. Near the end of the fight, you will also learn the finishing move, where you can grab the opponent and knock him down.

After the combat, Vito is called over to see a visitor, his sister Francesca.

Urinal cleaning
Next day, you're called to clean the urinals in the shower. Follow the guard. You will need to clean three urinals (the same one twice), and then you're told to take a shower.

Thus starts another fight. Once you knock down your first opponent, the second prisoner will take his place while the third will run off.

After this scene, you're brought to solitary once again, and given a letter.

Setting the score
The final important part of the prison chapter requires settling the score with Brian O'Neill.

For this fight, you will note that Brian does more damage than other opponents, in addition to being quite skilled in counters. You will also need to make sure you counter his attacks as soon as possible, otherwise your response will be ineffective. When you knock Brian down for the first time, he will stand back up in a cutscene. You need to counter his attacks two more times, before Brian draws a shank and gets killed in the cutscene.

It works out in the end. Vito gets four years removed from the sentence.
