There are 34 charms in Mafia: The Old Country, which players can use to obtain a wide range of bonus gameplay effects. 22 of them can be found by picking up San Celeste statues throughout the main story's 14 chapters, with the rest of the charms acquired at Pasquale's store or through pre-order and special edition content packs. Finding the best charms can make a huge difference, particularly when playing the game on harder difficulty settings.
The Best Games Like Mafia
From Grand Theft Auto to Assassin's Creed, here are games that every fan of the Mafia series should check out immediately.
Initially, players will only be able to equip one medallion and one bead, but by purchasing the Silver and Gold upgrades from Pasquale's store, they can unlock three additional bead slots. Finding all of the charms in Mafia: The Old Country can still be tricky, though, as, unlike most of the game's other collectibles, charms aren't marked on the map and are chapter-specific, so players will need to keep their eyes peeled for those gold San Celeste statues.

What Are the Best Charms in Mafia: The Old Country?
Every charm in Mafia: The Old Country can serve a purpose, but some are objectively a lot better than others. Given how many stealth sections there are in the game, players should definitely consider equipping the Fantasma bead after unlocking it in Chapter 4. For ranged combat, Paziente and Acuto pair well together and can make aiming much easier. For their last bead, players should either go with Destrezza to increase their reload speed or Brutale for a damage boost across all ranged weapons. San Bernardo da Corleone is arguably the best medallion, particularly when playing on harder difficulty settings, although those who plan on looting every lockbox may prefer the San Francesco d'Assisi, especially if their blade of choice has low durability by default.
