Arrhythmia posted:Paris SASO: I started by knocking out the waiter hanging around the shack near the start of the level for his poison. When the coast was clear, I sauntered past the bar into the kitchen and poisoned the sushi. When Viktor stops by, his bodyguard samples one of the sushi pieces. While waiting for Viktor to get that far in his cycle, I ambushed the magazine reporter for her IAGO invitation so I can get to the upper levels. Following the bodyguard into the bathroom was tricky, since there's a model and a security guard flirting just outside it, but I was able to distract them with a coin long enough to slip by. The real reason I knocked out the body guard was, of course, for his cellphone. Nice! Although actually, where's the panic room in Paris? It's been a while since I last played it, but I only seem to recall them running for the helicopter in emergencies, rather than to a panic room. Is that upstairs, or something? Arrhythmia posted:Felt insanely good to pull off. Big ups to American McGay for pointing out that accident kills don't count against SASO. Hang on...do you mean bodies found after an accidental kill, or non-target accidental kills not counting against SASO? Since if it's the latter...holy hell, I've played Hitman for hundreds of hours and didn't know that crucial fact

Non-target accidents for sure count against it, but if you lethally poison a target's food and their bodyguard sees them keel over it doesn't count against you.

Yeah, it's the museum director's office on the first floor. Can't say I saw them ever run towards the helicopter though, maybe they changed it in 3?

I was afraid I had been missing out on some crazy SA hijinks Arrhythmia posted:Yeah, it's the museum director's office on the first floor. Can't say I saw them ever run towards the helicopter though, maybe they changed it in 3? Hmm, interesting! Yeah, perhaps they tweaked the conditions determining where they go. Since to me it always seemed like if someone so much as drops a spoon on the floor, the targets go for the helicopter. That's cool though - I'll keep an eye out, when I get in on H3.

Are the two DLC levels in H2 fully fledged levels with mastery? I was reading they were good but assumed they were tiny.

Regy Rusty posted:They're as massive and fleshed out as any other level in the trilogy Cool. I'm gonna get them and play them in the H2 engine which I prefer but that's good too know. Chongqing and Berlin are neck and neck for my H3 level favorites ATM. I think Berlin is probably the best first playthrough mission in the game but china gets better as I keep doing the bigger challenges.

Berlin definitely stuck with me just because of the particular shift of the story it accompanies. It was for sure my favorite level on first run through, but I'm excited to replay everything from 3 and start chipping away at the challenges, and maybe my opinion will change.

Definitely agree that Berlin is the best on a first run because it's such a cool twist on the usual formula and it's executed really well. Mendoza might be my favorite in 3 after having gotten max mastery on everything in the game. It has so many fun ways to deal with the targets or move them around.

What's the smallest Hitman map? And Hawke's Bay doesn't count, that was the tutorial for 2.

elf help book posted:yours was a lot sneakier than mine Berlin is so cool in mix-and-matching your targets for SASO, my route was different again: 1. Start at the radio tower, head down through the queue and hop over the wall to the crane area. Shoot Agent Thames when he's away from the other workers and hide him in the bushes. 2. Get into the biker hideout via the shortcut, kill the guy on the ground floor (I think that's Lowenthal?). This one caused me some trouble as he kept getting found even when I hid him in the stairwell, but I eventually figured out it was because I was leaving his gun behind so someone was finding it and taking it upstairs. 3. Climb up the stairwell to the top floor, kill the sniper. 4. From the sniper window, shoot a gas canister to blow up Agent Swan down by the canal. You could probably also drop the disco ball on him but I find lining up those kills from that distance really tricky. 5. On the way back, lure the agent in the greenhouse out by turning on the sprinkler and kill him there. Escape via manhole I've also been going back to do SASO on the season 1 levels, which I hadn't done before. I've got Paris and Colorado done but Colorado especially involved a lot of saving and loading so I feel like I cheesed it slightly. Also I wanted to say that I played through the first three missions of Patient Zero yesterday and whilst it's pretty cool in that it's just more Hitman, my favourite level was Colorado which was basically just a sniper assassin map, with a gimmick that you only know one target going into the level and have to figure out the other four by watching and finding clues

I would guess that the last mission in 3 is the smallest. Now that the previous two games are apparently optimized and take up less space, I'm gonna jump through the hoops to get them working from the Hitman 3 launcher. It's been long enough since I played them that they'll probably be fun to revisit.

Hush sounds like Kermit. Also, just read that the remote emp charge can electrocute a puddle of water and it also will distract someone to it. Never knew that and thought it was a trash item.

Never knew that and thought it was a trash item. Electrocution is an accident kill so you don't need to hide the bodies, or at least it used to be? Lol in Hitman 1 death from an exploding fire extinguisher used to count as an accident so the good SASO strategy was just to lob one near a target and shoot it

Got SASO on Dubai with busted parachute double kill lmao it’s great. I love that the second dude waits a bit, sees the first guy fall to his death, then still jump. Was by the helicopter to make a quick escape, wish I could figure out how to be where they jump in order to see I

Dartmoor SASO done, really easy but didn't do it too elegantly... mostly just ran up the stairs chucking coins, knocked out everyone on the top floor then dropped a chandelier on her before leaving via the drainpipes lol. I'm a bit intimidated by Dubai, quite a tight level with a lot of guards...

I’ve probably gone about it the wrong way but I burned through all the levels to clear the story. Berlin is the one I enjoyed the most.

did two of the mission stories in Chongqing by complete coincidence in my first couple of runs and neither of them triggered because I had mission stories off, I looked them up and I basically did them perfectly. ftw
