By the way, the bug with the lawyer not moving is fixed by stumbling into one of the people around her; she gets hung up waiting for dialogue that doesn't happen. The yoga outfit should make sure no one gets suspcious.

So, I was gifted The Complete First Season, yet when I go into the game, I only get access to Episode 1.
Is that right? Don't I get access to all 6 eps?

I just threw a hammer or some poo poo to get one of the chefs over to the box at the bottom of the stairs, then choked him out.

Define easy. You need a disguise that allows you to go into the kitchen (by the time I got there, I was swimming in bodyguard disguises, so I just used that… no idea how the others fare or how easy you feel it is to get your hands on one of those). That's really the only hard part. You can then either just take out both in the kitchen itself because, why not? Overflow the sink, while the first guy goes over to fix it, sock the other guy, then the poor sod at the sink. Or just lure one over to the stairs and take him out there. Preferably, one of the chefs from the restaurant above, since they seem very keen on seeing through disguises.

Yes. Finally finding that elusive crowbar so you can go to town on all the cabinets with goodies in them was sooo satisfying. :D

Right, so there isn't an easier way than what I've been doing then. It just seems like one of the outfits that's trickiest to get, especially considering you need the outfit for quite a few paths - obviously being the fugu chef, but also the chef costume is needed to put an emetic in the snacks the director goes for so you can get his outfit. Though I guess there may be other ways to get the director alone?

I think the needle might work if you time it really really well. When I followed him, there never seemed to be enough cover or gaps to really have a chance of knocking him out, but a gentle love-tap to the buttocks could conceivably go unnoticed. Or you just snipe him in the head and figure out where they hide the corpse. :D

Pro-tip: If you run like hell the moment the game starts from your guest room, you can enter into bandaged-face guy's room, as in that moment the door is opened, without needing to knock him out and take his clothes. From there you can get in Yamazaki's room.

I just put the fugu in the food at the bar and followed the guard that drags his body to the morgue.

He walks by one of the toilets where there is permanently a guest walking around (and where bandage guy sometimes enters). Knock out guest, hide guest, wait for him to pass by, open door and throw something to get his attention.

I completed the ET. Started as sec. guard, got the master keycard, attracted a bodyguard in the empty room near the lounge, took the disguise, and left the body semi hidden. Then it seems at some point the dictator enters in that room to make a private call, so they found the body :(, but whatever, I kept playing. When the dicator enters the empty room for a second time, I killed him, and no one found the body, as only him entered that room.

The problem was the lady, I wanted to kill her with the new W2000 sniper rifle, but even if I saw her getting out once, it seems her behavior changed as she couldn't speak with his husband anymore, she was staying inside and switching between two rooms. So I set it up putting an audio distraction to put some distance between her and the bodyguards, put a nearby extinguisher near a window looking at the lobby she goes from time to time, and fired the trap the next time the got close.

Started in 47's suite, and left the phone on the table just down the stairs before the restaurant, then blew them both up when they sat down. I hid in the laundry while security was searching, then ran down the stairs past the bodyguards, on what I thought was a safe route. They promptly decided to flip their poo poo and start shooting though, so I made a dash for the speedboat and got away. So yeah, not exactly SA either, but I wanted to get both targets at once. Plus a crazy gadget is the only real way to kill a dictator.

They've got a security detail with a moving hostile area, and itchy trigger fingers. Which is actually kind of neat, and I think could be the inspiration for a cool bonus episode.

That and slightly altered access rights for various disguises—don't charge ahead thinking that you can go where they mill about with any old rag you usually use. It has to be a handful of specific old rags. But nothing that isn't obvious from observation. If you're unsure, just be quick on the ESC key so you can restart. :D

I killed the lady with the cell phone bomb but missed the guy in the blast, so I had to run for my life. I ran downstairs into the sublevel while getting shot at, was sure I hosed up another one, but somehow got away with near-death. I lured a bodyguard around a corner in the sublevel, got his uniform and regrouped. Eventually went back up to the restaurant, got outside on the balcony and shot him with the new 5mm pistol. It is not silenced, even though it has the :ssh: icon?

So, the cutscene after the mission ended: Nothing much was said about who the Shadow Client was but it may have well been a blank screen with TO BE CONTINUED written on it for all that was said in it, though I'm guessing we'll be diving into 47's childhood judging by the photo Diana was given, unless that was the Shadow Client, but as I said, nothing was really explained, it was just 2 people being vague to one another

The Shadow Client is that bearded dude that Novikov gave the information to and who also appeared in Colorado's ending cutscene too.

I got it! And the suit!

I dumped poison in the vents to force them into a panic room. A panic room where no one can see you toss a remote mine into from the side. Hit the king but missed the queen, so I shanked a guard from behind then threw the screwdriver at the queen. Unfortunately, they DID see me try and get out, so I got into a shootout (rip drummer). Changed into a CICADA disguise and escaped. Zero points. :v:

Weird, the game says the caseless gun is silent in the description too. Maybe it's a bug.

Caseless 5mm ammo would be like the equivalent of a .22 caliber airgun. It would still be lethal at close ranges with a clean shot but wouldn't make much noise as it is essentially a bullet with no powder

So it looks like for the ET kitchen staff is a safe disguise to get past the guards, most everything else is unsafe.

Haven't committed to actually beating it yet, can't quite find an angle to get at em cleanly

I've found that waiter was a safe-ish disguise to get near them. I took the disguise off the waiter outside the toilets and from there aside from a few suspicious other waiters and the bartender, getting in to the dining room with them is just a matter of timing things well and running a bit. The suspicious guys inside the dining room can be easily hidden from by moving behind the bamboo screen. The little anteroom off to the side of the dining room was enough to give me a passable angle to lob the duck over the bamboo screen and get them. Knocked off one guard as well but whatever it's my first successful ET.

For this ET I used my favorite item the explosive cell phone. I put it down when the two targets left the room and distracted the remaining guard with a coin. I put the phone on the table where they sit and called it and blew them up. Amazingly it only killed the targets! SOSA accidentally

That was the dumbest ET I've done so far.

Haven't touched Bangkok yet since I've been busy with RL stuff and mainly just getting my fix through ET. So it was a whole new experience for me.

Found the lady walking by the stairs on my way up from the cafe, and went to push her off the edge. Got noticed by the guys in the upper corner by the cafe.

So I whipped out my pistol, figuring I'd go down fighting. As I do, guy turns the corner with his bodyguards. I terminator style headshot every single one of them before they realize I'm there, then headshotting the target. While everyone is freaking out, I grab a CICADA uniform and somehow become inconspicuous just as the level guards rush in to figure out what happened.

I then walked out of the level.
