What a horrible thread to have a post.

Has there been an office location in any of the previous games? One or two floors around the upper third of an office building where there could conceivably be VIP's, but low enough that it's not just executive offices seems like a good setting.

There's the one with the Heaven and Hell party going in Blood Money.

See, that's what they need. Regular spaces but crazy poo poo going on in them. That's the best kind of Hitman level IMO.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

An interim location in Silent Assassin's Thailand levels was an office area. It was terribad, one of the worse locations in the game.

"Good morning, Agent. Your target today is John Johnson, CEO of Fire Safety Industries. He is absolutely a known human trafficker, smuggler of gold bullion and embezzler, and is definitely a bad person in most other aspects of life. I hear he doesn't brush his teeth. This is likely the most important mission you've ever been sent on- and is certainly not a ploy to topple the fire extinguisher industry so that their manufacture ceases in order to force more creative assassinations -so do take care. He is currently in a meeting in his office on the third floor. Good luck."

But... throwing them is more fun than anything. That sound when they impact skulls is SO satisfying.

Sometimes the NPCs are just dumb. I KO'd a guy in the attic in Paris and one of his buddies pretty much trampled him after the fact. He couldn't locate his friend who is covered in his very footprints, and gave the all clear before I walloped him with a wrench.

They're worried about being overrun by a mob, seems a good enough reason to shred confidential stuff to me? They're not Denmark, but even Sweden probably has some secrets.

i followed the route that speedrunner guy did, turns out you can just sneak through the kitchens after all

i also know for certain now that poison kills don't count as body found for SA rating, and that you can just snipe the virus

looking at his marrakesh route though... oh god. last one i need but its a bit of a doozy. i might try to sneak into zaydan's school and push him out a window, though that explosion kill seems pretty safe.

lol start stylist and he heads towards the catwalk after about a minute, you could probably lure him with a coin, drag him into the stairwell and then just mess up his day

this might be a really easy ET, but i will hold off on execution for now

e: LOOOOOOOT of opportunities to emetic syringe, and i mean a LOT. gotta work out which bathroom he goes to and if it ever gets occupied (pretty sure a security guard goes in one...), though considering how close you are to the exit (kitchen) maybe not an issue if you get out fast enough. could just knock out in the bathroom and wait ~5 minutes, see if anyone shows up...

One thing that I would really like in Hitman is MGSV's Phantom Cigar.
Sometimes I just want to test interacting with some sort of event that happens on it's own 5 minutes into the map and there's literally nothing you can do about it other than sit and wait.

Easiest elusive target ever. I could've done it faster but I lost track of him coming off the catwalk the first time.



Take out the maintenance guy by the bathroom at the catwalk exit and you can nail him with an emetic right there, then just drown him and leave. Or you can coin him into the area with the lone stylist in the makeup area and shank him. I'd imagine poisoning him is super easy too if you start as a waiter.

Just make sure to back away from the ledge if you're using a sniper rifle that can be heard because the guards down below will instantly spot you when they hear a shot if you're near the ledge.

for me he went down the 'alleyway' to the right of the catwalk exit, with a guard at the end facing the other way. there's bathrooms at the end of that corridor, i will emetic tomorrow and see if he goes to those (if not i will try other bathroom)

You can just lethal poison him in that alleyway straight up, no one has line of sight or even paths there to find him as far as I could tell.

I knocked out the tech who's looking at his phone at the other end just to be 100% sure, but it worked even when he was standing there on my test run. Stood there for a couple minutes by his knocked out body to be confident I had enough time to walk to the exit for the real thing. Your mileage may vary. If you use lethal poison though it doesn't even matter if they did find the body.

Yes, all poison deaths are “natural causes” — similar to, but distinct from accidents. You only have to worry about someone spotting you in the (usually illegal) act of administering the poison (again, similar to triggering most accidents). Coincidentally, this makes the sleeping poison almost worthless outside of very specific instances where you absolutely need to pacify two non-targets at once to keep them from spotting each other. Any regular target you can get to is better disposed off by just killing them right there and then with a lethal poison.

Even in that situation you can usually pull off a Silent Pacify on one person if you can get the other person to move as little as ten feet or so.

Pretty much, yeah.

The only time I've actually had any real beneficial use from it was during the black hat ET, and even then, it was because I couldn't be arsed to sneak my way out of the attic to get some coins I had forgotten to bring. Sleepy-time for one hacker, wrench for the other, and surprise-choking for the guard in the same room before he got a chance to notice anything — all happening within a second from each other. Then I could sort out who was who and who needed to get shot under more controlled circumstances.

…and then I got caught trespassing on my way out, so no SA. :suicide:

Does using the emetic syringe on an ET lock you in or can you still restart after that? Seems more safe than lethal since you're not screwed if someone rounds the corner and spots you.
