This article is about the location, you may be looking for the Max Payne 3 multiplayer map

The Golgotha Cemetery is a cemetery located in North Bergen (according to in-game information), or Hoboken, New Jersey (according to Passos). It appears in Max Payne 3.

In 1998, Michelle and Rose Payne were laid to rest in this graveyard.

At some point possibly between 2006 to November of 2011, Max Payne visits the Golgotha Cemetery by taking a bus ride to the location. Once he sees his family's grave, he breaks down in grief. To drown his pain, he heads from the burial site to Walton's Bar in Hoboken to get drunk. However, this daily tradition was ultimately broken when Max met Raul Passos and shot Tony DeMarco, the son of Anthony DeMarco.

On Friday, November 25th, Max returned to Golgotha Cemetery to say his goodbyes to Michelle and Rose's grave as his actions have caused the DeMarco Crime Family to target him and Passos, effectively exiling him from New Jersey. However, as he stood in silence and grief, he was suddenly approached by three mobsters, who asked if he was Max Payne. Realizing he was in danger, he immediately used Michelle and Rose's grave as cover and dispatched the mobsters. Max and Passos were then forced to fight their way out of the cemetery as the DeMarco's were notified of a bounty placed on their heads and came to collect. the two fought their way to the cathedral to hold their ground and call for help. After dispatching the last of the DeMarco's, Passos called for help and the two managed to escape Golgotha Cemetery. It was left in heavy disrepair due to gunfire and explosions.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Max Payne 3 multiplayer map Cemetery is based on the Golgotha Cemetery.
  • In the comic "After the Fall", Max Payne's parents' funeral and tombstones are depicted but it is not specified if they themselves were buried in the Golgotha Cemetery.
  • The remains of Valerie Winterson, Nicole Horne and Vinnie Gognitti were also laid to rest in this cemetery. Examining them will count as evidence.
  • The opening cutscene for "Ain't No Reprievement Gonna Be Found Otherwise" states that the cemetery is located in North Bergen, New Jersey however in a later cutscene while on the phone to an unknown person, Raul Passos says that the cemetery is in Hoboken.
  • Given the geography and where the events of the first two games took place, it's unlikely that all presented characters from the previous games (with the exception of Michelle and Rose Payne) would have been buried in a cemetery in New Jersey due to the previous games being in New York, with no mention of New Jersey as the homes of these characters.
