Chapter III: New York

Jimmy the Grape is on your case as soon as you pop back into town. He'll tell you to go see your Aunt Sarah. Follow the signs to the Lower East Side exit from the station and you'll be near Aunt Sarah's place. She's on the corner of Raspberry St.; hers should be the only house you can see through the windows of. Ring the doorbell to head inside. You can also deliver any letters you found in Chapter II via any of the mailboxes on the street.

When you speak to Aunt Sarah, she'll tell you how to reach Eddie Shrote's place. You'll need to take the subway back to the Fulton St. station, then find the service entrance inside the station that will lead you to his place.

Side Quests

There are a few optional quests that you can complete now before heading back on to finish off Eddie Shrote, if you like. These are mostly optional, so don't feel compelled to complete them.

Vinny Mortarello

You'll come across Vinny Mortarello in the Fulton Street station, so talk to him and offer to help him with the problem that he's whining about: Paulie has replaced many of the old-timers in the gang with contracters from the west coast. You don't have to help him, if you don't want to, but if you do he'll probably have a collectible in it for you.

Be careful; this guy can lean against a lamppost without ever actually touching it!

The first gangster is outside your Aunt Sarah's place in the Lower East Side. He's wearing an orange jumpsuit and leaning against a streetlamp. Take him out, then get ready for the reinforcements to arrive. Kill everyone before returning to Vinny.

Next up is Grinder's Lane. There's an exit to it from the Fulton St. station. The gangster here is mixed in with the cops; he's the guy with the camera. Dirty cops! Take them out and eat their hearts.

Back to Aunt Sarah's place after this. Another group of thugs is located nearby. Kill them, return to Vinny.

Chinatown, Orchid and Plum. A single guy in a track suit who will probably be in the alleyway that runs opposite the corner.

The last fellow is in Gun Hill, and is apparently overwatching Shrote's apartment and keeping an eye on him for Paulie. Many people sent in the location of this guy: if you stand by the doorway leading into the basement of the apartment building that Shrote is located in, you can use your Creeping Dark power and look for a window on the wall that has "Mace!" graffiti on it. Inside, you'll find the target, as well as another Darkling costume.

Mitch Deval

Mitch is standing near the gate at the end of the station, near where the train takes off into the tunnel for the next stop on its line. He thinks his brother wandered into the old abandoned subway station beyond the gate, and wants you to help find him. You won't be able to get past the gate without a key, though, and attempting to walk on the tracks leads to your death. Hmm…

Ingrid Pulanski

Ingrid stands by one of the subway platforms, fretting over a lost bracelet. If you agree to help her, you can hop down onto the tracks and look for the bracelet. It's underneath the overhanging platform, just a short distance (20 feet or less) from where Ingrid stands. It does flash, like the collectibles, but it's fairly small and thus easy to miss. Don't get hit by a train while you look for it!

Charlene Warburton

Charlene wants to play a little game with you in the Fulton St. station. She'll throw four coins onto the subway tracks, and you have to nab them all before the train smacks you down. It's doable, but inconsistently. Try jumping down onto the tracks before she throws the coin, then spamming your action button while looking at the ground. Eventually you'll get all four coins and nab the collectible from her.

Jimmy The Grape

Jimmy is in the Canal Street station, on the platform. He tells you that the cops have a snitch, someone who could really hurt the family if he talks. You can't let that happen—you've got to silence the squealer. Unfortunately, Jimmy doesn't know where he is, but he does have a room number. Find room 261 in an apartment building somewhere to find him and shut him up.

The apartment is located in Grinder's Lane, near a taxi. Head in, kill the guards, kill the rat, grab the list, and return to Jimmy.

Dana Cutrone

Dana's sitting on a bench in the Canal St. station. Her boyfriend has changed the locks on her apartment, leaving her with nowhere to go! She wants you to go find him and get the new key for the place for her.

The place is in Chinatown, in a small building that has a corridor that connects Lester Street with Mulberry Alley. If you ask her boyfriend for the keys, he'll hand them over, and you'll also be able to enter the apartment and nab the Lumberjack Outfit for your Darklings. Return the key to Dana for a collectible.

George Hadel

George, the harmonica player, is in the Canal St. station. He says that Scarr, the man who you helped him with earlier, came along, beat him up, and stole his harmonica, then left to the Lower East Side. You can find Scarr on Waterfront Street in the Lower East Side. He'll be standing around with a couple of friends, and will open up on you when you walk up, so get the drop on them and fire away from a distance to take them out. Grab the harmonica and return it to George.

Terence Willis / Cups Hustler

Terence is in the Canal St. station. Look for a black man with a lot of earrings and a nosering. He might be sitting on a cardboard box near a bench. He wants you to kill off a gang that's terrorizing the city. They're located near the Whitefish pool hall, on the northern edge of the Lower East Side. Kill them all and return to Terence for a tip: you can distract the cups hustler nearby and mark one of the cups. If you keep playing the game until the ball winds up in the marked cup, you can win the game and get a free collectible.
