Phase 1: Defending the Safe

Forelli's men will first attempt to steal money from your safe. Position yourself on the upper floor overlooking the safe. Use an M4 or Minigun to mow down the waves of mobsters. They will come from multiple entrances, so keep an eye on your mini-map. Don't let them reach the safe, or you'll lose money. Collect health and armor pickups from around the mansion as needed.

Phase 2: Confronting Sonny

After the safe is defended, Sonny Forelli himself will appear, accompanied by more bodyguards. He is heavily armed and can deal significant damage. Use the mansion's layout to your advantage, taking cover behind pillars and walls. Focus fire on Sonny, but don't neglect his bodyguards. A Rocket Launcher can be effective against groups, but save some ammo for Sonny. Keep moving and utilize your most powerful weapons. Once Sonny is defeated, the game's main story concludes.
