With the release of the HD Trilogy set for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 it is
necessary to revise this guide with new information. Unlike my guides for
both "Silent Assassin" and "Contracts" this guide required only a little bit
of rewriting.
The reason is that this guide is already geared towards Achievement unlocking
for the Xbox 360 version so all I had to do is simply add PS3 related
information to this document. Beyond that it was some minor format tweaking.

My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA). I also own multiple systems such
as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation
1 and 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.
I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have
extended the play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many
times over plus I have received many letters from all over the world.
I am also what one may call an RGB Analog Video enthusiast. I hack most of my
game consoles to try to get the best possible video from them and that
usually involves tapping into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on
the right monitors to achieve my desires. To this end I became a member of
the GamesX.com mod forum and I post on their "RGB + Video Discussions" forum
area from time to time.
In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. We
are also a group of hackers and electronics enthusiasts.
I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
AtariAge, Digital Press, GTA Forums, and Video Game Saga. I am also a member
of The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" players who met on the Vice City message boards at GameFAQs).
Outside of gaming, my interests include "Godzilla" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and "Red Dwarf" (I own all eight series plus the "Back to
Earth" mini-series on DVD). I am also a long time soundtrack collector with
many titles in my possession.
As far as favorite sports teams go, my teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
[the local team], the Denver Broncos (NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am
originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA
Football).
This guide was constructed using TextWrangler on a 1.5Ghz Single Core Intel
Mac Mini. I view my work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the
web and correct format errors.
On the PC version I play this game on a Dell Optiplex GX270 (at 2.4Ghz) with
1GB of RAM and on Windows XP Professional. I use an NVidia GeForce 6200 video
card and SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio.
I also play the PC version game using a wonderful little program called
Xpadder V5.3, a program that will allow you to map keyboard commands to a
joypad. The joypad I used for the PC version is the Xbox 360 joypad with the
"Xbox 360 for Windows" driver.
I also played the PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360 versions using old game saves to
try out new ideas for this guide. I have also added PS3 related data to this
guide even though I do not have one at this time.

Welcome to my "Hitman: Blood Money" guide! If this is the first time you have
visited then you will find a lot of useful information in a highly organized
format that you can use to beat all of the missions of the game.
Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are presented "as is" and may include
spelling and grammatical errors.
The main emphasis of this guide is to provide creative and simple solutions
to many of the missions for "Blood Money". Many hours were spent going over
each mission and finding unique ways to solve them. I think you will be
surprised by some of the solutions found here.
This guide was written while playing the game on the *PROFESSIONAL*
difficulty setting. This is mainly because of the difficulty based
Accomplishments for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. It is also designed to to
allow you to earn Silent Assassin ratings and acquire all weapons.
This guide also goes over console differences and other technical data.
Although this guide was written with the Xbox 360 in mind this guide will
also benefit PS2, PS3, Original Xbox, and PC players.
This guide was also written while using the Xpadder keyboard-to-joypad
mapping program for the PC version and may incorporate strategies that may
only work with this setup. If any of these strategies don't work with the
standard keyboard/mouse configuration then feel free to write me about it.
I have worked hard to make sure that this guide is as complete as possible
but at the same time leave room for exploration. I hope that you enjoy this
guide as much as learn from it.

"Hitman: Blood Money" is the fourth game that features the now-popular
protagonist known as Agent 47, a clone designed for assassination work. The
game was released in 2006 for the PC, Sony PlayStation 2, MicroSoft Xbox, and
MicroSoft Xbox 360.
This game differs from its predecessors in that it has far more options to
kill your Targets including Accidents. You can also lure people away to
either move about more quietly or ambush them in a more secluded place. This
installment also has a new feature called Notoriety which makes the game
harder based on how many people witnessed you do your dirty work. In
addition, although you can't buy weapons, you can purchase upgrades for them.
This game feels easier than the previous installments but, since it has more
options to deal with people, it also feels more challenging. It also has some
of the better graphics of all of the "Hitman" games (only "Absolution" is
better).
I got into the "Hitman" games because of the PS2 demo of "Silent Assassin"
which was made available during the summer of 2002. I decided to load up the
demo because I was kind of bored while waiting for "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" to be released (fall of 2002).
But I did not expect the awesome music that graced my ears when I got to the
main menu. A fantastic orchestral piece that blew my mind. I would just let
the game sit on the menu screen so I could listen to this piece repeatedly.
After awhile I finally got into the demo and I also became impressed by the
gameplay and additional music.
From that point I became a fan of "Hitman". And it was the first time that I
got into a game series because of the music. The music was done by Jesper
Kyd, a fantastic musician who I was initially exposed to from the Sega
DreamCast game "MDK2". I now own the scores to all four "Hitman" games (and
the score to the oft-maligned "Hitman" movie - by Geoff Zanelli).
When I started writing guides, I always wanted to do the "Hitman" series.
However, I wanted to start with the first game, "Codename 47". But the game
was never released outside of the PC platform. This created a problem because
I am a Mac user and it was never released there either.
I was aware that some of the missions from "Codename 47" were remade for
"Contracts" but that wasn't the same. As I was playing "Blood Money" I was
actually writing a guide in my head but it never came out because I wasn't
able to do a guide on the first game.
In 2010 I finally obtained a suitable PC and was able to play "Codename 47".
I would also start writing guides for it and all of the other "Hitman" games.
This guide was originally written covering all of the platforms it appeared
on at the time. In early 2013 IO Interactive released the HD Trilogy set for
the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 thus initiating a revision adding new
information.

Listed in this chapter is technical data that I've compiled on the various
versions of "Blood Money":

When you start up the PS2 version of the game then you will be given the Test
TV Settings screen. Here you can choose to start the game in either NTSC/PAL
interlaced mode (480i/525i) or DTV480p/DTV525p (progressive scan).
While I thought it to be nice that IO Interactive put in a progressive scan
mode for the PS2 version of this game I also found it to be almost useless.
This is because the progressive scan mode is programmed in such a way as to
cause severe pillar-boxing on my MultiSync 3D RGB monitor.
Pillar-Boxing is the reverse of letter-boxing in which the screen is squashed
from the left and right sides. On the MultiSync I found that the viewing area
is squashed an inch and a half from both sides (a total loss of three
inches). No amount of fiddling with the horizontal controls could fix it.
Obviously, because I prefer to play games in progressive scan when possible,
I was disappointed with this development.
Unlike the other console versions you can use cheat discs and other programs
with this game:
>>Xploder HDTV Player
*******************
This product will allow you to view your games in progressive scan,
usually in 480p. Even though the game has its own progressive scan mode
this disc will also work with it. However, this product doesn't fix the
extreme pillar-boxing issue that occurs with the game.
>>GS Mode Selector
****************
This is a small program that is used with the memory card exploit known
as Free McBoot. Like with HDTV Viewer you can also view games in
progressive scan using this program.
This game will also work with GS Mode Selector, preferably in 640 x 480.
And, just like with Xploder HDTV Viewer, it can't fix the extreme
pillar-boxing issue with the game.
One bonus is that you can use this program in conjunction with both
HDLoader and Open PS2 Loader - something you cannot do with Xploder HDTV
Viewer.
>>HDLoader
********
The main reason most people use the Free McBoot memory card exploit is to
use this program which will allow you to play games off of the hard drive
if you use a PS2 "Fatty" or an early model PS2 "Slim" that has been
modified to use a HDD.
Once the game is installed then you need to make a couple of tweaks to
its compatibility settings before you start playing. After installing the
game onto the HDD, highlight the game on the Game List menu and press
SELECT. This will bring up the Game Compatibility Settings. It will look
like this:
Slow HDD access: No
Disable DVD9 support: No
Kill HDL After launch: No
Date/timefix 2: No
Date/timefix 3: No
Disable network support: No
Disable CzC patch: No
Soul Calibur 2 / Suikoden V: No
As you can see all of the default settings are set to "No". You need to
make the following changes to make sure that the game works perfectly
with HDLoader:
Slow HDD access: YES <----------
Disable DVD9 support: No
Kill HDL After launch: No
Date/timefix 2: YES <----------
Date/timefix 3: No
Disable network support: No
Disable CzC patch: No
Soul Calibur 2 / Suikoden V: No
Slowing down HDD access will fix sound issues with the game (removing
static-like sounds during cutscenes and gameplay). The Date/timefix
setting will fix the timestamp on your game saves so that it matches the
clock settings.
>>Open PS2 Loader
***************
This program is meant to replace HDLoader and is more solid than HDL. You
use this in place of HDL and it will recognize the HDD and all the games
you have already installed. OPL, or "Opal" as I like to call it, has its
own compatibility modes for games and won't recognize the settings used
in HDL.
There is one change that I recommend to the compatibility settings for
this game. Highlight the game on the Game List menu and select Game
Settings. There are eight modes that you can tweak to make your game run
better. By default they are all set to OFF.
You should change Mode 6 to ON. Mode 6 disables something called In Game
Reset where you can actually go back to the main menu of Opal without
having to turn off the machine by means of holding down certain buttons
together.
I found that if you leave it OFF, at least with "Silent Assassin", then
the game will randomly crash during gameplay. As a result I recommend
changing Mode 6 to ON just to make sure you don't encounter any potential
crash problems with "Blood Money".
Right beneath the mode settings there is something called DMA Mode. This
has something to do with the hard disk access speed. As noted with
HDLoader you needed to change the access speed to correct static-like.
You do not need to tweak this setting for Opal.
However, on occasion when you boot up the game, then you may encounter
static-like noises. In this instance it is best to reboot the PS2
completely. This will fix the problem.
At the time of this writing I do not have a PlayStation 3 so therefore I
don't have any information on how it runs using the Backwards Compatibility
mode on the older PS3s that have it.

| B. Xbox and Xbox 360 Version |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
The Xbox version looks better than the PS2 version and loads up faster. Like
with the PS2 version it also has a progressive scan mode (but I would imagine
it is programmed better than the PS2 version). It also has features for Xbox
Live but, now that XBL support for the Original Xbox has been discontinued,
those features are useless.
Finally, the Xbox version is *NOT* supported on the now aborted Backwards
Compatibility feature on the Xbox 360. Originally it was but, after the
release of the Xbox 360 version, support for the Xbox version was removed in
one of the last updates.
The Xbox 360 version looks and sounds the best of the three console versions.
The addition of Accomplishments adds replay and challenge value to the game.
The game can be installed on the hard drive and USB flash drives to reduce
wear and tear on your unit.
In early 2013 this game was rereleased as part of the HD Trilogy set that
also includes its predecessors "Silent Assassin" and "Contracts". Even though
IOI is part of Square-Enix now the only change to the game is the artwork on
the disc - all of the cutscenes and credit listings when you load up the game
still names Eidos as the publisher.

Being that "Blood Money" was released in 2006, current PCs and Laptops
should have no problem running the game regardless of graphical resolution
and sound. On old machines, seven years and older, there will be major
issues.
My Optiplex GX270 came out in 2004, two years before the release of the game
and meets most of the specs.
The integrated graphics processor (IGP) for the GX270 is the Intel(R) 82865G
Graphics Controller and was aimed more towards businesses since that is what
the machine was initially designed for. So this IGP isn't geared toward
gaming and is considered fairly weak.
This game will *NOT* run on any of the IGPs that came out at the time of the
title's release. They do not support Pixel Shaders which is a requirement for
the game to run. A dedicated video card is *REQUIRED* to run "Blood Money on
older machines.
If your machine has a PCI-Express slot then you should have an easy time
finding a decent video card that will allow you to get the most from this
game. If not, then it will be more difficult. There is no PCI-E slot on the
GX270 so I had to find an AGP interface card. I found an inexpensive NVidia
GeForce 6200 card at the Austin Goodwill ComputerWorks.
However, for this title anyway, it is considered a low-end card and the game
will chug badly unless you set the resolution down and tweak down most of the
other graphical settings.
In addition, you need to tweak the sound acceleration settings down to Basic
in the program DXDiag (prior to running the game) or you will cause the game
to crash in the missions "Curtains Down" and "A Murder of Crows". When
running DXDiag you need to access the Sound tab to tweak the necessary
settings.
Then there's the matter of the controls. I find the keyboard/mouse setup to
be very clumsy and I cannot play any of the "Hitman" games with this setup.
The program Xpadder is an extremely useful program to get around this issue
and I discuss that later in the guide.

"Blood Money" does have some imperfections that will appear from time to
time. These are bugs within the game engine and may appear across all
platforms:
>>Strangulation Bug I
*******************
There is a rare intermittent crash when Strangulating the Guard through
the Hatch in "Death of a Showman". Found in the PS2 and Xbox 360
versions.
>>Strangulation Bug II
********************
Unlike the first bug this one you can recreate at will. Basically, if you
Strangle too many people through the Elevator Hatch then you will crash
the game. Found this during the mission "You Better Watch Out..." on all
console versions.
>>Disarm Bug
**********
I believe you can crash the game if you Disarm too many people without
either knocking them out or killing them afterwards. Found on the Xbox
360 version.
>>Melee Weapon Bug
****************
If you use a Kitchen Knife, Meat Cleaver, or Screwdriver and you swing
into the air or into a wall then you may cause game to crash. Found on
the Xbox 360 version.
>>The Reappearing Air Rifle Glitch
********************************
This minor bug appears only in the mission "A New Life". This minor bug
has to do with making the Air Rifle reappear in the Weapons Box if you
remove it from the Box and then ambush a Guard at the Box. But I rewrote
the mission in such a way as to avoid it completely. Found on all
versions.
>>PIP Bug
*******
In the mission "Amendment XXV" if you have the PIP Cam off then it will
turn itself back on at some point during the mission (usually after
Parchezzi's death). Found on all console versions.
And now a brief explanation about Agent 47's employer.....
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN4. The International Contract Agency |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The ICA or The Agency, as it is often called, is the shadowy organization
that Agent 47 works for. Its main purpose is to carry out assassinations. A
powerful person, or government, who wants to take down somebody without being
connected to it will contact The Agency and an agent will be assigned to a
mission to carry out the contract.
However, sometimes there is more than just killing the Target. Most missions
often have several objectives beyond the assassination. Destruction or
retrieval of items and rescuing someone are some of the other objectives that
an agent may need to accomplish.

| E. Xpadder (PC Version) |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
After playing through all of the console versions of Hitman I found that I
could not play the PC version of this game with the keyboard/mouse control
setup. And there are no official drivers to allow you to play the game with a
joypad.
Thankfully a programmer named Jonathan Firth wrote a program called Xpadder
that will allow you to map keyboard commands to a joypad. I used the Xbox 360
joypad for this game and I configured it to be as close as possible to the
layout used for the Xbox 360 version of this game.
The current version of Xpadder is V5.7 which you have to pay money for. The
version I am using right now is V5.3 which is the last freeware version and
what most people probably have.
Listed below is the recommended layout for using Xpadder with "Blood Money"
(with default keyboard settings). It uses the following format:
++Action [PC command]; Xbox 360 style joypad - PlayStation 2 style joypad.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
++Move Character [WASD Keys]; Left Analog Stick.
++Look Around [Mouse]; Right Analog Stick.
++1st/3rd Person Mode [F1 Key]; Left Analog Stick Button - L3 Button.
++Enter/Exit Sniper Mode [X Key]; Right Analog Stick Button - R3 Button.
++Zoom Binoculars/Sniper Scope/Menu Item Selection [Mousewheel];
D-Pad Up/Down.
++Inventory List Selection [Left/Right Arrow Keys]; D-Pad Left/Right.
++Action [E Key]; A Button - X Button.
++Pick Up Items [Spacebar]; B Button - Circle Button.
++Drop/Throw Items [G Key]; Y Button - Triangle Button.
++Open Inventory List/Holster/Draw Weapon [Right Mouse Button];
X Button - Square Button.
++Sneak [Ctrl Key]; Left Trigger - L2 Button.
++Run [Shift Key]; Left Bumper - L1 Button.
++Fire Weapon/Attack [Left Mouse Button]; Right Trigger - R2 Button.
++Reload Weapon [R Key]; Right Bumper - R1 Button.
++Mission Briefing [B Key]; Start Button.
++Map [M Key]; Back Button - Select Button.
When setting up my Xpadder profile and the Look Around assignment to the
Right Analog Stick I selected the DeadZone at 25% and Diagonal Size at 45.
Within the game itself I only Inverted the Mouse - I did not change
sensitivity settings.
The Run command is placed above the Left Analog Stick so it will make for
much easier navigation when running. Hold down the Run button with your left
index finger while pushing up on the Left Analog Stick with your left thumb.
Then use the Right Analog Stick for navigation.
Despite the addition of the Run command everything mapped out pretty well
when comparing this layout to the console versions.

This allows you to either turn on or off the Picture In Picture
feature. When certain events occur in the mission then you will see
it on the right side of your screen.
Personally I find it distracting so I turn it off. When you leave
it off then you will get Info Markers ("!") when these events
occur instead of the PIP.

What this does is that, if turned on, you will automatically enter
Sneak Mode when you pull the Fiber Wire as you go to attack
somebody. If you leave it off then you can walk or run about when
you use the Fiber Wire instead of going into Sneak Mode.

| >GEN7. Notoriety and Money |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
>>Notoriety
*********
One of the new features introduced in "Blood Money" is what is called
Notoriety. The more people who witness you doing your thing, the harder
it will make your next mission and beyond.
This is because you will become more famous and more people will
recognize you. Guards will become more suspicious and your cover will
get blown more easily. People may run to Guards easier or may just run
from you altogether.
If you max out your Notoriety Rating then, unless you obtain a disguise
that covers your face, Guards will shoot you on sight. This will make it
very difficult to do your work. Because you need to be anonymous to be a
successful assassin, becoming famous is bad for business. So it is
important to be as clean as possible.
There are two main stats concerning Notoriety: Witnesses and Caught On
Camera.
Witnesses are people who saw you do something you shouldn't have been
doing and you didn't manage to kill.
Caught On Camera is if you are seen on the CCTV Cameras that can be found
on some missions. To remove evidence of your capture you need to find the
Surveillance Machine (VCR) and remove the CCTV Tape.
When you play through a mission for the first time then you will
establish your Notoriety Rating for that mission. The more Witnesses you
leave behind, coupled with the Caught On Camera, the higher your
Notoriety Rating. The Notoriety Rating is on a 0 to 100 point system. 0
is the lowest Notoriety and 100 is the maximum.
The Notoriety Rating will affect your next mission and beyond but not the
mission you just played. Once Notoriety has been established for a
mission you *CANNOT* raise it no matter how badly you screw up your
replays of that mission - you can only lower it.
The only way to raise Notoriety is to play the next mission to establish
the Notoriety for that mission and to add to what you already have from
the previous one.
One of the best ways to lower your Notoriety is to simply replay the
mission to obtain a Silent Assassin rating which will reduce your
Notoriety Rating for that mission to 0. If you do not want to do that
then you can do certain actions at the end of a mission to clean up your
Notoriety but it costs money.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
>>Money
*****
Money becomes more important in "Blood Money" than with its predecessors.
You can buy upgrades for your weapons and equipment as well as purchase
means to clean up your Notoriety.
You earn money by completing your main objectives within a mission.
However, you can earn more money by obtaining certain items within a
mission. And you can earn more money still by earning better ratings - up
to $150,000 for a Silent Assassin rating.

| >GEN8. Starting a New Game and Mission |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
To start a new game then select Start and then select a difficulty level:
Rookie, Normal, Expert, and Professional (Pro).
The difficulty determines how much damage you can take, the accuracy of the
Guards and their sensitivity, the visibility of people on the in-game map,
and the number of in-mission saves you can make:
>>Rookie
******
The AI within the game is pretty easy and does the least amount of damage
in a fight. The maps will be full of Points of Interests and you can save
as many times as you need. Finally, the Notoriety system isn't in use so
you don't have to worry about what you do in a mission.
>>Normal
******
The AI within the game is still fairly easy and does a bit more damage in
a firefight. The maps will still have lots of Points of Interests and you
can save seven times. The Notoriety system will now be in-effect.
>>Expert
******
The AI within the game becomes harder and it will be more alert. The
Guards will also do more damage in a fight. If you stand by certain
Guards long enough then your Threat Meter will creep up into the Yellow
stage and you will start to create Witnesses which will negatively impact
your rating.
There will be no Points of Interests on the Map and there will be no
Guards on it either (there will still be Civilians though). Notoriety
will be in-effect and your rating will be more negatively impacted if
bodies are found. You can save up to three times.
>>Professional
************
The AI within the game is the hardest of all and will do the most damage
in a fight. You cannot make any saves at all. Only Targets and VIPs will
show on the Map. Unless you perform an Accident on someone you cannot let
any bodies be found, period.
Starting a new game at any difficulty will start the training mission "Death
of a Showman".
"Hideout", "Death of a Showman", and the mission "A Vintage Year" will appear
on all remaining difficulty levels after completion of your first run-through
of "Death of a Showman".
If you go to another difficulty level and play "A Vintage Year" without
playing through "Death of a Showman" first then you will start out with
$75,000. You will get more money if you play through "Death of a Showman"
before "A Vintage Year".
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
When you start a mission then you will usually be given a cutscene before you
begin. After the cutscene then you will be given your Mission Briefing where
you can go over who you need to kill and what other objectives you may need
to do.
After going over the objectives then you can select.....

\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional contractor. There are
many different weapons that can be used to perform your work. There are also
additional items that are useful.

| A. Acquiring Ammo |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
Although you can find clips of ammo to use on various weapons during the
course of a mission you can also refill your ammo by picking up a weapon of
the same type. If you have a SLP .40 Pistol then you can add to your ammo by
picking up another SLP .40 Pistol.
You can also increase the ammo for a weapon even if you pick up different
weapon as long it is in the same class. For example, you can increase the
ammo for the TMP by picking up a MP5 since it is also a sub-machine gun and
they share the same ammo.
Unlike in past "Hitman" games there is no limit to how much ammo you can
carry for your weapons. You can have as much ammo as you can get your hands
on.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
In "Blood Money" you will find crates and boxes where you can find and store
weapons. On every mission you will find a Weapons Crate from the ICA on your
Map. With this crate you can safely store weapons you find during a mission
that can be added to your weapons collection.
This is especially handy for large weapons that can get your cover blown. In
addition, you can also use the ICA Crate to discreetly bring in large
weapons, like your Shotgun, without causing problems (until you are ready
to).
On some missions you may find unmarked Weapons Crates. They are used to store
weapons to be brought back to your weapons collection but cannot be used to
bring in large weapons.
Weapons Boxes are usually found at the Guards Quarters and look like a foot
locker with the lid cut off. You will always find weapons to acquire within
them. However, the Weapons Boxes can be used for something else and I will go
over that later in the guide.

In "Blood Money" you have the ability to upgrade some of your weapons and
standard items. There are five upgrade tiers and they will unlock one at a
time as certain missions are successfully completed. In addition, all of the
items within a tier cost the same amount:
>>Tier 1
******
Available from the beginning.
Item Cost - $50,000.
>>Tier 2
******
Unlocked after the mission "Curtains Down".
Item Cost - $75,000.
>>Tier 3
******
Unlocked after the mission "Flatline".
Item Cost - $100,000.
>>Tier 4
******
Unlocked after the mission "The Murder of Crows".
Item Cost - $150,000.
>>Tier 5
******
Unlocked after the mission "Death on the Mississippi".
Item Cost - $200,000.

In this sub-chapter I go over the five weapons that you have from the
beginning and can be upgraded. Any upgrade you purchase can be unequipped if
you do not like how the upgrade performs.
Even if you choose not to use custom ammo you cannot increase the ammo for
these weapons by picking up similar weapons during a mission. In addition, if
you leave any of these weapons behind then you will be charged $5,000 per
weapon for its retrieval at the end of a mission.

>>Silverballer
************
Based on: AMT Hardballer.
Notes: This is Agent 47's standard issue pistol. A pretty decent weapon
that can be made more powerful with the proper upgrades:
++Tier 1
******
>>Low Velocity Ammo
=================
Notes: This fires slower and has less power than other
ammo. But this allows it to be more silent and
creates less recoil. When used you cannot use any
other ammo for the weapon.
>>Silencer Type 1
===============
Notes: A basic silencer that makes the weapon more quiet.
Cannot be used with the Long Slide and Silencer
Type 2 upgrades.
++Tier 2
******
>>Extra Ammo
==========
Notes: You get two extra clips plus all of your clips will
be expanded.
>>Laser Sight
===========
Notes: A basic laser sight that allows you to be a bit
more precise.
>>Rail Mount
==========
Notes: This is used for mounting scopes.
++Tier 3
******
>>Magnum Ammo
===========
Notes: This ammo has more power and can penetrate doors.
But this also creates more recoil. When used you
cannot use any other ammo for the weapon.
>>Dual Action
===========
Notes: You get a second Silverballer so you can duel
wield. But this creates more recoil and takes much
longer to reload.
>>Long Slide
==========
Notes: This allows for better precision and less recoil
but you cannot use silencers with it.
++Tier 4
******
>>Red Dot Sight
=============
Notes: This is a sight that goes on top of the pistol. It
has a small zoom and will allow for high precision.
It requires the Rail Mount upgrade and excludes the
use of Scope Type 1 upgrade.
>>Large Clip
==========
Notes: This doubles the capacity of your clips.
++Tier 5
******
>>Silencer Type 2
===============
Notes: The best of the two silencers and cannot be used
with the Long Slide and the Silencer Type 1
upgrades.
>>Full Auto Fire
==============
Notes: This turns the Silverballer into a machine pistol.
However, this also has more recoil because of the
rapid firing. This requires the Large Clip upgrade
to use.
>>Scope Type 1
============
Notes: This is a large scope that goes on top of the
pistol and has better zoom than the Red Dot Sight
upgrade. This allows for extreme precision. It
requires the Rail Mount upgrade and excludes the
use of Red Dot Sight upgrade.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
>>SP12 Shotgun
************
Based on: Franchi SPAS-12.
Notes: This is a large pistol grip pump-action shotgun that can be
upgraded with the following:
++Tier 1
******
>>Flechette Ammo
==============
Notes: This fires 18 dart slugs and has less power than
other ammo. But this allows it to be more precise.
When used you cannot use any other ammo for the

>>W2000 Sniper
************
Based on: Walther WA 2000.
Notes: Only 176 of these rifles were ever made because it was too
expensive to achieve widespread sales of the weapon. This makes it
a rare and valuable collectable. It comes with its own rifle case
which can also be upgraded.
It is important to note that the rifle case is only for use with
the W2000. There is a trick in "Contracts" that allowed you to use
the rifle case to carry other types of Sniper Rifles which was
very useful in collecting them. Sadly, you cannot do this in
"Blood Money".
The W2000 is one of the best Sniper Rifles ever made and can be
made even better with the following upgrades:
++Tier 1
******
>>Low Velocity Ammo
=================

ammo. But this allows it to be more silent and

Silencer Type 2 upgrade.

Listed in this sub-chapter is the standard equipment you always carry along
with appropriate upgrades. Any upgrade you purchase cannot be unequipped.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
>>Fiber Wire
**********
Notes: This is a specially made weapon using a very strong fiber wire.
Its main use is to strangulate your victim from behind.
The best feature about this weapon is that, because you are
strangulating your victim, he will not make any noise as you are
attacking him. You can also use this weapon to break necks but
this happens at random. Another feature is that it will not
trigger metal detectors.
When you enable the Simplify Strangle option then you will
automatically go into Sneak Mode when you pull the Fiber Wire to
ready it for attack.
>>Sedative Syringe
****************
Notes: This is a stainless steel, surgical syringe. It contains a
non-lethal general Anesthetic, enough to knock out a grown man.
Once knocked out, the victim will remain unconscious for the rest
of the mission unless found and awakened.
The Sedative can also be used on food and drink. Bring out the
Sedative and aim the Crosshair at the item to be injected. When
the Crosshair turns red then press Fire to inject the item.
The Sedative can be used for a quick attack and should be used
sparingly since you will have only two doses to use during a
mission.
>>Poison Syringe
**************
Notes: This is a stainless steel, surgical syringe. It contains a lethal
combination of sodium pentothal, pavulon, and potassium chloride
and will kill instantly. The Poison Syringe can be used exactly
like the Sedative Syringe.
>>RU-AP Mine
**********
Notes: This is a Non-Detectable bomb. It comes with a Detonator and can
be detonated within 25 meters.
This is normally used for Winches and other large objects that can
be dropped down onto someone. When in the right spot then you will
get the Plant Bomb prompt which will allow you to properly place
the Mine.
You can also plant the Mine on other objects as well. Bring out
the Mine and look down towards the object. When the Crosshair
turns red then press Fire to plant the Mine.
You can bring out the Detonator in a crowded area and still
detonate safely - the people don't seem to care about you holding
this item out in the open.
The Mine can also be placed inside Briefcases and Suitcases. When
opened then the Mine will explode, killing the victim and thus
making a good booby trap.
You get one Mine to use but you can increase that number with an
upgrade. You can also increase the range of the Detonator with an
upgrade.
>>Coin
****
Notes: This is a simple coin used to distract people. Throw the Coin at
something and whoever is nearby will go to investigate. I find
this to be fairly useless, especially since it hardly works at all
at Professional difficulty. If you wish to lure Guards away then
it is best to use the Weapon Dropping technique which I will cover
later.
>>Binoculars
**********
Notes: This is a waterproof and shock resistant pair of binoculars with a
8x45 zoom. However, it cannot zoom. But you can upgrade it to
something better.
>>Lockpick
********
Notes: This is the one item that is part of your equipment but cannot be
selected in the Inventory List. This is used to open locked doors,
of course. You can increase the speed of your lockpicking by
purchasing better Lockpicks.

amount of anesthetic and is undergoing test trials to pass
as a surgery aid on race horses. This will boost your
health and will allow you to endure more damage.

This also has an incremental zoom plus distance counter.

Notes: This will speed up your Lockpicking by 25%.

Detonator (50 to 60 meters).

damage but, unlike the other body armor upgrades, it is
permanent and fits all Outfits that you change into.

0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0
These are all of the weapons that you can collect throughout the game, a
total of twenty. You can play around with them at your Hideout afterwards
(with the exception of the Nailer).
To successfully collect a weapon it must either be on you, safely stored
inside a Weapons Crate, or inside your ICA Crate at the end of a mission. You
can bring in any of these weapons to use in another mission and leave it
behind without penalty.
All of these weapons must be collected for the "All Firearms Collected"
Accomplishment on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. If you wish to go after this
Accomplishment then it is best to do this on the Rookie difficulty level.
The information on each weapon and is broken down as follows (if applicable):
--Missions: What missions the weapon appears in.
--Based on: What real life weapon this is based on.
--Magazine Capacity: How many rounds the magazine of the weapon holds.
--Uses: What type of ammo the weapon uses.
--Notes: Information on the weapon or item.

++Nailer
======
Missions: "Curtains Down"
"A New Life"
"Amendment XXV"
Magazine Capacity: 50 rounds.
Ammo Type: Nails.
Notes: This cordless nail gun is considered a melee weapon even though
you use it very much like a pistol. This doesn't do much damage
and can be considered a "fun" weapon to play with. It is the
only weapon that is not available at your Hideout.
++Air Rifle
=========
Missions: "A New Life"
Based on: Beeman Break Barrel.
Magazine Capacity: 1 round.
Ammo Type: Darts/Tranquilizer.
Notes: This can be considered a melee weapon because of its non-lethal
nature. This weapon has a two level zoom mode and fires
Tranquilizer Darts to Sedate people from afar.
Because of its small magazine you get only a couple of shots
when you bring it into a mission thus making it nearly useless.
The only way to have some real fun with this weapon is if you
play the PS2 version because you can use cheat discs and have
unlimited ammo enabled.
0========0
| Pistols \
0===============================================>
These easily concealable weapons can take down people from a distance.
However, most of them tend to make a lot of noise which will attract

Notes: This is the exact same weapon as above but silenced. If you

the game allowing you to acquire lots of ammo if needed.

0==============0
| Sniper Rifles \

These weapons are used to kill people from long distance. They are best
used when way out of sight distance so you don't get discovered when taking
down someone.
Unlike with the previous "Hitman" games you can fire the Sniper Rifle like
a gun without going into Zoom Mode. You can even use it like this in
regular 1st Person Mode (and not have any recoil).
To enter Zoom Mode you have to press the 1st Person Mode button twice. When
in Zoom Mode then use the D-Pad to go through the zoom levels. You will
notice that your scope will bob up and down. The more you sit still, the
more it will stabilize. This is important to know so you can make a good
shot at someones head.

Now for a breakdown of some of these displays.....

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN11. Health Bar and Threat Meter |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The Health Bar represents your available health. When it disappears then you
will die.
You will get hurt when you are shot, hit, or fall from a great length. The
amount of health depleted depends on what weapon is being fired at you and
what part of your body is being hit. Being hit in the head or anywhere with a
powerful weapon will greatly damage or kill you outright.
The Threat Meter represents how much danger you are in. The threat levels are
based on color:
>>Green
*****
If you are in disguise then you will go into the green range as you pass
by Civilians and Guards. As long as it remains green then you are in good
shape. You will automatically go green when a Guard finds a dropped
weapon.
>>Yellow
******
There are various reasons for going yellow. One reason is that you were
seen by someone doing something that you shouldn't be doing (like
dragging a body) and that this Witness will go to the Guards. This will
negatively impact your rating. Another reason is that a body was found
regardless of whether or not it was an Accident.
>>Red
***
When you go red and the music changes then this means that your cover
is blown and you will be attacked. Most times, if you blow you cover and
you kill the person who blew it, then your Threat Meter will go yellow
afterwards as people will become much more suspicious of you regardless
of your current activity.

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN12. The Map and Intel |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
This is the most important tool you have to help you in your missions. It
displays everything in real time (except at harder difficulty levels) on
every level of a Map. You will also see how everyone moves which will be
extremely useful in planning your attacks. There are multiple icons you will
see on your Map:
>>Green
*****
This is your current position.
>>Red (Pulsing)
*************
This is your current Target. There can be more than one.
>>Orange
******
This is an enemy. These are usually Guards.
>>Gray
****
These are innocent Civilians. They are harmless but if they see you doing
something suspicious then they will go to a nearby Guard or Police (Cop)
to inform them of it.
>>Blue
****
These are Police (Cops). They are pretty much the same as a regular
Guard.
>>White
*****
This is a V.I.P. This person usually needs to be protected.
A circle with an X is a dead body. A pulsing yellow "!" symbol is known as a
Point of Interest. These marked places either contain a potentially useful
item or is a place where you can do a specific action. Your ICA Crate is
marked "ICA". A blue circle with a lightning symbol is a Power Switch.
<0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>
When you go into your Objectives screen during the mission then you have the
option of buying additional Intel to gain more information about your
surroundings. You can buy up to eight pieces of Intel and each one will cost
you $3,500.

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN13. The Inventory Menu |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
To use any weapon or item you must first bring up the Inventory Menu. Select
the item or weapon you wish to use and Equip it to bring out the item and
leave the menu.
If you are using a weapon then you can Holster it by using the Holster
button. Just like with the previous "Hitman" games if you press the Holster
button again after holstering your weapon then you will bring out that weapon
again.
This will allow you quickly bring out a weapon for a quick attack. Bringing
out a weapon and quickly holstering it for an attack later in the mission is
known as "Prepping" the weapon.

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN14. Different Ways of Moving About |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed in this chapter are the different ways you can move about within
missions:
>>Walking
*******
Moving the Left Analog Stick forward slightly will make 47 walk slowly.
>>Speed Walking
*************
Speed Walking is something new to the "Hitman" games. If you move the
Left Analog Stick forward a little more then you will walk faster.
On the Original Xbox version you really don't get a speed walk animation.
Instead you will get what I call a "slow motion" run animation (very
similar to the slow motion running used in the old '70s television show
"The Six Million Dollar Man").
>>Running
*******
Move the Left Analog Stick more forward and 47 will run. On the PC
version you need to use the Run command in conjunction with the Movement
Keys. Unlike previous "Hitman" games you can run by Guards without
drawing their suspicions as long as you are properly disguised (in
restricted areas) or in your Suit. This will allow you to do missions
more quickly.
>>Nudging
*******
This method involves moving yourself incrementally without going into
Sneak Mode. Quickly nudge the Left Analog Stick forward and you can move
a few pixels even though it looks like you are standing still. This is
beneficial to quickly get closer to something without risking getting
caught or to keep doors open.
>>Sneaking
********
I go over this a few chapters from now.

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN15. Observing Your Surroundings |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
As you go about the mission then you will see both Guards, Civilians, and
Targets move about the area. The most important thing to know about this
game, as well as the other "Hitman" games, is that everybody moves in very
specific patterns.
It is very important to note these patterns as it can make the difference
between success and failure. When you first play a mission it is best to take
your time and observe everything so you can get the feel of how everybody
moves before doing anything of importance.
If any Civilian sees you doing something out of the ordinary, like moving a
body, then that person will become alarmed and go to alert the Guards or
Police (Cop). That Civilian will also become a Witness unless you kill him or
her by the end of the mission.
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN16. Standing |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the most important actions you will take within the game is Standing.
By standing at specific places and at specific times then you will make it
easier to attack your victims or avoid people. Usually you will be standing
at or near the end of a person's patrol route. When that person stops in
front of you then you can attack him any way you please.
Here's an example:
--"Stand by the window and wait for the Guard to stop by you."
When I say "Stand by the window" *DON'T* stand *EXACTLY* by the window. You
need to allow room for a person to stand in front of you. Put an imaginary
person in front of you as you stand by the window and make room for him. So,
when the Guard comes by, then he will stand right in front of you.
Sometimes you will be standing in an area that has very little room for
somebody else. This is not something to worry about since the game will warp
the approaching person either around or through you to allow him to get to
where he needs to go.
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN17. 1st and 3rd Person Modes |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Most of the game is played in 3rd Person but you can switch to 1st Person by
using the Right Analog Stick Button. When in 1st Person Mode then you can
sidestep left and right, something you can't do in 3rd Person. This is useful
when you need to tweak where you need to stand if you are trying to ambush
somebody.
In addition, wherever the camera is pointing when you are in 3rd Person Mode
is where you will face when you go into 1st Person Mode.
For example, you are standing behind somebody and your camera is pointing 180
degrees to look at a window. If you go into 1st Person Mode than you will
automatically look at the window. This is a great way of quickly turning 47
around or better aim where you want him to go.
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN18. Sneaking and Melee Attacks |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
The overall goal of a given mission is to get close to your Target and kill
him with little fanfare as possible.
There are situations where you need to quietly dispose of someone that may
get in your way later. The quietest way to get rid of someone is to get
behind him and then use the Fiber Wire to take him down. If you do not wish
to kill him then use your Sedative or Pistolwhip him.
Entering Sneak Mode, which will make you crouch, will allow you to move about
slowly and silently. If you walk or run to a potential victim with your
weapon drawn then he may turn around before you can attack him and things can
go seriously wrong from there (or, at the very least, he may walk away which
may blow whatever timing you were relying on).
During the course of the guide you will see three specific Melee Attack
words: Sedate, Poison, and Wire. They pertain to certain methods of Melee
Attacks:
>>Sedate
******
This is the melee attack method I use as it will allow for the best
possible score. Below are the moves involved in the method:
--Get close behind a target regardless of whether or not he is moving.
--Bring out your SEDATIVE.
--Enter Sneak Mode and creep up on your target.
--Attack your victim.
When a person is Sedated then he will be out for the remainder of the
mission unless he is found and awakened by somebody.
>>Poison
******
This is the same method as above except you use the POISON.
>>Wire
****
This is if you wish to kill a target with the Fiber Wire. It uses the
same moves as the Sedative/Poison method described above.
As already noted, you can also use the Sedative and Poison to inject food and
drink so you can knock out or kill your victim from afar. Of course, there
are other ways of attacking your targets.....
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN19. Human Shields and Pistolwhipping |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
One of the other things that you can do to someone is to take him as a Human
Shield. This action is very useful in getting out of tight situations and
getting people out of the way. Just about every mission in this guide has you
doing this action as well as other actions related to it.
The action of making a Human Shield is known as GRABBING (which is also
shorthanded to GRAB). To GRAB someone you need to do the following:
--Sneak up on someone.
--As you are Sneaking up then bring out either a Pistol, one-handed
Sub-Machine Gun, or Nailer.
--Perform the action "Human Shield" when you get the prompt.
When you have Grabbed somebody (thus making a Human Shield) then your enemies
will not be able to fire on you without risking hitting your hostage.
However, they will fire on you if they can get a good angle on you without
hitting the hostage. Of course, this means that you can shoot your enemies
more easily since they will be very hesitant to fire back.
On higher difficulty levels the enemies may just fire on the both of you,
thus killing the hostage, so they can more easily go after you.
It is very important to note that when you Grab somebody they may make noise
("DON'T NOBODY SHOOT!", "Don't do anything stupid, pal!"). If there is
somebody nearby and they hear the hostage making noise then it will usually
result in a Civilian running to a Guard or a Guard coming out to attack you.
When you have a hostage there are three actions you can perform:
>>Move
****
This is where you move the both of you around, usually to a specified
location. It is about the same speed as dragging a body but you keep the
hostage conscious.
>>Drop Body
*********
This will allow you to release the hostage harmlessly by throwing him to
the ground. However, if this is done at the top of a set of stairs then
you will throw him down it. If you do this by a railing then you will
throw him over it.
>>Knock Victim Out
****************
This will release the hostage but render him unconscious. This action is
also known as PISTOLWHIPPING (shorthanded to WHIPPING and WHIP). Like the
Sedative, Pistolwhipping a person will keep him out for the remainder of
the mission unless found and awakened.
Unlike the Sedative, though, you have unlimited use of Pistolwhipping.
You can pretty much knock out everybody during a mission if you so
desire.
As a result, Pistolwhipping is a powerful tool that will allow you to
safely get people out of the way so you can more easily attack your
Target.
Some examples of the terminology I just explained:
--"Grab the Guard, move him to the Container, and Whip him."
--"Sneak up behind the Civilian and Whip him."
--"After Whipping the Guard then drag him behind the desk."

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN20. Punching, Stunning, and Disarming |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
When unarmed you can Punch people out. Just go up to someone and use the Fire
Button to Punch him. Usually you start out with a headbutt then a small
flurry of punches before your victim goes down. However, this should always
be used as a last resort since, because you have to face your victim, that
person will become a Witness and your rating will suffer for it.
Your victim will remain unconscious for the remainder of the mission unless
found and awakened.
Sometimes, if the person is by a wall or railing, then you may end up
Stunning your victim if you try to attack from behind while unarmed. The
victim will remain standing but will be hunched over for a bit as he tries to
recover.
In addition to Punching, you can also Disarm a person who is carrying a
weapon. Quickly go up to him and use the Fire Button to grab the weapon and
smack him in the nose (although you can just grab the weapon without hitting
him on rare occasions). However, the weapon will discharge most of the time
when Disarming and this noise will attract more Guards to the action.
When a Guard is Disarmed then he will behave like a Civilian in that he will
either run or surrender (although sometimes he may pick up a nearby weapon
and resume attacking you).

| >GEN21. Hiding Bodies, Twirling Bodies, and Found Bodies |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
After knocking out or killing a person then you should hide the body (unless
you are already in an isolated place). Get the prompt to Drag Body then drag
the body to wherever you need for it to go. Also be on the lookout for large
box-like objects. They are called Containers and are used for dumping bodies
out of view. They look like the following:
--Crates
--Trash Dumpsters
--Freezers
Sometimes you need to put the body in a tight spot. To this end you can do
what I call Twirling. What you do is spin in place, in either direction,
while you have the body in your possession. It resembles what you do when
twirling spaghetti around a fork as the body spins around you. Then drop the
body when you have it in a favorable position.
Sometimes Guards and Civilians will find the body of someone you either
knocked out or killed. Your Threat Meter will go yellow as people run around
trying to find out what happened. This will usually result in the Guards
being more suspicious. In addition, the Guards will place the body in a Body
Bag and drag it back to the closest Guard Quarters or other secluded area.
In most cases, especially after an Accident, your Threat Meter will go back
to green (or nothing) once the body had been dragged to the Guards Quarters
(unless you were seen instigating the incident). At higher difficulty levels
then having a body found will result in a negative impact on your rating. But
there is one exception and that leads into.....
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN22. Accidents |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Performing an Accident is another way of killing or knocking out people.
There are two types of Accidents you can perform:
>>Pushing
*******
You push a person over a railing or down stairs. Just get up close behind
a person while unarmed and press Fire to push that person. You do need to
be right up against the victim or you may risk Stunning him instead.
>>Dropping
********
You drop a large object onto the victim to kill him. This is mainly done
by placing an RU-AP Mine on a Winch that holds the object, like a
Chandelier, in the air. Then Detonate the Mine to destroy the Winch which
causes the object to drop onto the victim.
In most cases, when you perform an Accident, then the body will be found by
others.
However, because of the circumstances in which the body is found, then the
Guards will *NOT* become more suspicious (even though the game says they are)
because they believe the person died in a tragic accident instead of
murdered. This also means that your rating will not be hurt if the body is
found as the result of an Accident.

/=========================================================================\
| >GEN23. Disguises and Subterfuge |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
In most missions you will need to get a disguise to enter restricted access
areas and get close to your Target. Usually this is done by killing or
knocking out a person and taking his clothes. As long as you do not do
anything out of the ordinary then you will be seen as a Guard or somebody
that is supposed to be there and you can move freely about.
If any other Guards see the body of the dead or unconscious person you
switched clothes with then your disguise will become compromised and you will
be attacked on sight unless you change into another set of clothes before
revealing yourself.
Sometimes you will see Guards with weapons drawn. You can do the same but
only if the weapon is similar to the weapons the other Guards are carrying.
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN24. Closets and Elevators |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
In many missions you will find large Closets. You can hide in these Closets
as you wait for certain things to happen (like a Target coming back into the
room). However, if you are seen going into a Closet then you will
automatically be attacked. The Closet will provide no protection from gunfire
so you will be a sitting duck.
If you have blown your cover and managed to safely hide in a Closet then you
will still be attacked as the Guards will eventually find you and shoot at
you (unless you manage to safely lose them first).
On some missions you can use Elevators. However, they are more than just
going up and down on them. In every Elevator there is an open Hatch on the
ceiling. Climb it to access the top of the Elevator.
The top of the Elevator is a good hiding place but it is more than that. You
also have the option of Strangling a person from above using the Hatch. Bring
out your Fiber Wire and stand at the edge of the Hatch. When a victim appears
under the Hatch then you will get the prompt to Strangle.
When you Strangle a person through the Hatch then you will also pull that
person up onto the roof of the Elevator which allows you to easily hide the
body.

| >GEN25. Climbing, Jumping, and Entering Windows |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Sometimes you need to climb up or down to get where you need to go. This can
be done by climbing Ladders and Trellis's that you may find during a mission.
Just go up to one and push up to climb up or pull back to climb down.
You may also need to jump across gaps. Just go up to the railing and move
forward to jump to the other side. There are also times that you need to go
through open windows. Go up to a window and move forward to go through it.
/=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\
/=========================================================================\
| >GEN26. Weapon Boxes and Dropping Weapons |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
As already noted the Weapon Boxes are where you can find additional weapons.
But the Box is more than that.
If a Guard finds a weapon on the ground then he will pick it up and take it
to the nearest Weapon Box to deposit it while your Threat Meter goes green.
Then he will go back to his original patrol pattern and your Threat Meter
will go back down.
This method, known as "Weapon Dropping", makes it a very effective way to
lure a Guard away from an area so you can do what needs to be done. This is
way more effective than using a Coin because you can make him move far away
from a given area.
Even better, you can use this to lure a Guard to a secluded Weapons Box so
you can attack him and take him down for the rest of the mission. When he
goes to bend down to put the weapon in the box then you can quickly bring out
your weapon and attack him.
However, this method only works on Guards - not Targets and Civilians. If
Targets or Civilians find the dropped weapon then they will pick it up and
keep it.
Although you can use your Syringes and RU-AP Mines to lure Guards to the
Weapons Box they are not recommended if you plan to attack the Guard there.
This is because the Guard will quickly drop the Syringe or Mine by the Box
and walk away before you can attack him.
Therefore you should only use Pistols and other guns for luring if you wish
to ambush a Guard at a Weapons Box. However, this method does have some
glitches.
If there are any weapons inside the Weapons Box then, when the Guard bends
down to place a weapon inside it, he will stand to the *RIGHT* of the Box and
appear to be placing the weapon on the floor. If there is an object to the
right of the Box then he will stand somewhere else close to the Box (usually
to the left of it).
To prevent this then you need to take all of the weapons out of the Box and
empty it. This will allow for the Guard to be in proper position when he
bends down.
If you knock out the first Guard and lure a second Guard to the same Box then
the Guard will *ALWAYS* stand to the right of the Box regardless of whether
or not the Box has been emptied beforehand. If you knock out the second Guard
and lure a third Guard to the same Box then the Guard will *ALWAYS* stand to
the *LEFT* of the Box.
In addition, weapons aren't the only things that the Guards will take to the
Weapons Box if found:

| >GEN27. Light Switches and Placing Items |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Another way to lure a person for easier attacking is the use of the Light
Switch. Most rooms have one and will plunge the room into darkness when
switched off. This will cause the other people inside to go to the Light
Switch, or to another one if there is more than one Switch inside a room, to
turn the lights back on.
When the victim goes to the Light Switch then you can attack him when he has
his back to you as he toggles the switch. It is important to note that you
cannot toggle the Light Switch in 1st Person Mode - it can only be done in
3rd Person.
When holding certain items, such as a Briefcase or large food items, then you
can place items inside it so you can smuggle them past certain checkpoints.
As you hold the noted item then you will see the Place Item prompt. Press the
button associated with the prompt to bring up what items you can place
inside. When you place an item inside a larger item then you can retrieve the
hidden item later with the same button.

One particular action you can do in "Blood Money" is to pick open most locked
doors. One of the items you have in your inventory is the Lockpick. When you
get to a locked door then you will see the option to Pick Lock. Select it and
Agent 47 will begin to pick the lock.
However, this takes time during which you risk being seen, and/or possibly
heard, by a nearby Guard. So you must make sure that nobody is around before
you do any lockpicking. But, as noted, you can upgrade your Lockpick during
the course of the game which will speed up the process.

Sometimes things go wrong and you end up having to shoot your way out. When
this happens then it is usually best to get into 1st Person Mode since it
more closely resembles standard first person shooting games and may make it
easier to deal with the situation.
It is also important to pick up weapons from dead enemies quickly since
Civilians and Guards can, and often will, pick up these weapons and fire back
at you.

| >GEN30. In-Mission Saving |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
During the course of a mission you can save your game. The number of times
you can save your game is determined by the difficulty you selected (except
Professional difficulty because you can't save games at that level).
However, there are only three slots that you can save you game to. This means
that if you wish to save a fourth time then you will have to overwrite a
slot. In addition, they are *PLACEHOLDER* saves, not permanent ones. This
means that once the mission is completed then the saves will disappear.
One important thing to note about the saves: if you have a weapon Prepped,
such as the Sedative, and save the game then, when you reload this save, you
will automatically default to the Fiber Wire. To prevent this issue, if you
want to have a specific weapon Prepped, go to a secluded area, bring out the
weapon you want to have Prepped, then save the game. When you reload the save
then simply Holster the weapon to Prep it.

The local Chief of Police will ensure that incriminating evidence is
accidentally misplaced. The investigation will become choked with red
tape. Bribing Police reduces your Notoriety significantly (40 Points).
>>Acquire New Identity (Cost: $200,000)
*************************************
Government and law enforcement records will be wiped. Witnesses will
disappear. For practical purposes you will simply cease to exist.
Acquiring a new identity will reset your Notoriety Rating (up to 100

Here you will see a local newspaper with a front page article that goes over
the mission. It will display your rating and certain actions that you did
during the mission. It will also include often humorous side stories.
One annoying thing about this feature is that even if you killed all of your
Targets in Accidents it is not reported as such. You get "Silent Assassin
Wanted by Police" instead of "So-And-So Dies in Tragic Fall Down Stairs".

| >GEN33. Xbox 360 and PS3 Accomplishments List |
\=========================================================================/
\=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=/
Listed in this chapter are all of the Accomplishments that can be acquired
for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of "Blood Money".
Now, for the sake of terminology and to lessen confusion within this guide,
Accomplishments are what are known as Achievements on the Xbox 360 version
and Trophies on the PS3 version. To those who do not know, Achievements and
Trophies can be considered a different kind of scoring system. Each Xbox 360
game has 1000 Achievement Points that can be obtained.
However, the PS3 Trophies do not have a point system attached to them
although the numbers of Trophies attained can be considered a way of keeping
score (as well as add some kind of experience points in the PlayStation
Network system). In addition, the Trophies are split into Bronze, Silver,
Gold, and Platinum classes.
Some Accomplishments can be acquired by simply playing through the game.
Others can be obtained by doing certain objectives outside of normal
gameplay. To many gamers this adds to the replay value of each game and gives
them bragging rights on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network where these scores
are posted.
One annoyance to Accomplishments is that, depending on the game, they are
split between Single Player and Multiplayer modes. So, if you do not have the
necessary connections to get on-line, then you most likely cannot get into
multiplayer matches to obtain the Multiplayer Accomplishments.
Thankfully, "Blood Money" is *NOT* one of these split Accomplishment games
because it is strictly single player.
The Accomplishments listed are broken down into Visible, Secret, and PS3
Specific sections.

>>47 Kills
********
Description: A mission has been completed with precisely 47 kills.
Xbox 360 Achievement Points: 20 GS.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Bronze.
Notes: The mission "Curtains Down" is a good level to acquire this
Accomplishment because there are more than 47 people to kill and
it is early on in the game.
>>Accidents Do Happen...

Description: A successful accident kill has been performed.
Xbox 360 Achievement Points: 20 GS.

Xbox 360 Achievement Points: 50 GS.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Gold.
Notes: Depending on how you play you may get this Accomplishment as early
as the completion of the mission "You Better Watch Out..."
>>Notorious
*********
Description: 47 is the world's most wanted.
Xbox 360 Achievement Points: 50 GS.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Gold.
Notes: You need to max out your Notoriety Score. To do this you need to
rampage your way through missions. Since you cannot do this in the
Rookie difficulty level then the best difficulty to do this is on
Normal.
Basically you need to kill Guards and let yourself be seen by many
Witnesses while doing so. Spare the Civilians to max out the
number of Witnesses. You also need to let yourself be filmed if
there are any cameras about. Do *NOT* spend any money to lower
your Notoriety.
If you start with the mission "A Vintage Year" and do everything
correctly then you should have this Accomplishment at the end of
"Curtains Down". Another option is to wait until the missions
"....Till Death Do Us Part" and "A House of Cards" because you can
get a lot of Notoriety easily.
>>Redemption
**********
Description: You can't keep a good man down.
Xbox 360 Achievement Points: 50 GS.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Gold.
Notes: You need to successfully complete the last mission, "Requiem", on
any difficulty level.
>>Special Rating
**************
Description: A Special Rating has been awarded.
Xbox 360 Achievement Points: 20 GS.
PlayStation 3 Trophy Class: Bronze.
Notes: You get this Accomplishment by acquiring a Special Rating. The
following list was obtained from HitmanForums.com:
--Needle Pumper
--The Russian Hare
--Insurance Agent
--Pianoman
--Garrotteer
--Insane Florist
--Sushi Chef
--King of the Jungle
--Prince of Darkness
--Beelzebub
--Swashbuckler
--Dr. Death
--Skull Splitter
--Raging Bluecollar
--Frenzied Firefighter
--Evil Eye Gouger
--Murderous Manicurist
--Slugger
--Electrocute
Most of these are based on using certains weapons exclusively
during a mission. The ones that I feel are easiest to obtain are
the "Garroteer" and "Evil Eye Gouger" and I cover that more into
detail in the "Curtains Down" mission.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
This is the walkthrough for the mission at hand. It is designed to help you
get a Silent Assassin rating in the best and easiest way possible while
finishing the mission on the Professional difficulty level.
In my other "Hitman" guides I made them for the Normal difficulty level
but, because of the difficulty based Accomplishments for the Xbox 360 and
PS3 versions, I am honing this guide toward the Professional level instead.
Play the mission on the Rookie difficulty and get the hang of how
everything I have written is done while taking advantage of the unlimited
saves and easier gameplay. Then play through the mission again on Normal,
Expert, and Professional difficulty. This will make it easier to obtain the
four difficulty based Accomplishments.
These strategies will also work on the PS2, Original Xbox, and PC versions.
Each strategy presented has the following parameters:
>>Clean Score
***********
With the exception of Total Kills, Close Combat Kills, and Accidents
all Stats on the Detail page of your Rating will have zeros. This
includes no shots fired (except for the first and last missions, of
course).
>>No Outside Weapons
******************
With the exception of Pistols that should be brought in for
Pistolwhipping in the early part of a mission I have written these
strategies to use your standard items plus weapons that can be found
during a mission.
>>Weapon Collecting
*****************
All of these strategies are designed to help you acquire all of the
collectible weapons within the game. Some are easier to collect than
others. There are some weapons that are harder to obtain and I have
outlined ways to get them.
>>No Unnecessary Casualties
*************************
Even though you can perform Accidents on Civilians and Guards I prefer
to leave them alive by either avoiding them or incapacitating them
instead. This helps in earning a Silent Assassin rating.
>>All Optional Objectives Completed
*********************************
Some of the missions will have objectives that are optional and can be
skipped. But you will lose out on additional funds if you don't go
after them so I will cover how to do them.
>>Finishing With Your Suit
************************
Since you will be penalized for leaving your Suit behind each strategy
will allow you to put your Suit in the safest place possible so you can
go back to it at the end of a mission and leave with it.
While there may be faster, but riskier, methods out there to finish these
missions I prefer a more steady, methodical approach to ensure complete and
total success.
With that explained, I will now finally move on to the story.....

As the story begins the camera pans out into an amusement park. Eventually we
see a large ferris wheel. But something goes terribly wrong and the ferris
wheel comes apart dumping gondolas full of people onto the ground below. As
this scene fades out we see a wall covered with newspaper clippings of the
incident.
These articles also go over the trial of the person responsible for the
amusement park, Joseph Clarence (aka "Swing King"). As the scene continues we
listen to sound clippings from the proceedings. In the end Joseph Clarence is
cleared of all charges and is freed. The camera pans down onto a picture of a
teenager who was killed in the accident.
The verdict does not sit well with the boy's father who sits at his desk
contemplating what to do. He then decides to place an order with the ICA who
sends out Agent 47 to deal with Joseph.....

This is nothing more than a training mission. You are pretty much told what
to do even though you can do anything you want. This mission has just about
every situation you may encounter in the game. You are also not scored for
this mission. It should be noted that even though this is a training mission
you can still be killed.
Any weapons you carry on you cannot be brought back. However, that doesn't
mean you can't collect them.
There are two ICA Crates - one before Joseph's office and one on the walkway
after his office. In order to bring back the weapons from this mission you
must place them in the *SECOND* ICA Crate (the one after Joseph's office).
They can't be brought back if they are placed in the first crate.
Now for the list of weapons:
>>SLP. 40 Pistol
**************
Carried by all of the Guards and one inside the room with the Baking
Soda Crate.
>>TMP
***
In a small white box in the pile of junk near where you encounter the
first pair of Guards (with 691 rounds), in the Restroom past the Drug
Lab, and on one of the tables in Scoop's den.
>>Shotgun
*******
In the first room after climbing up the Red Trellis.
>>Dragunov
********
In the first room after climbing up the ladder past the Restroom.
>>Desert Eagle
************
Carried by Scoop and on one of the tables in Scoop's den.
Best thing to do is to play all the way through to Scoop's Den at the end of
the level, killing everybody you come across with the TMP, then kill Scoop
and all of the nearby Guards. Then go back and collect the weapons, place
them into the second ICA Crate, and finish the mission.
When you are done with this training mission then you are sent to your
Hideout. This run down place is what you call home.
It also contains a crude target practice area where you can play around with
your weapons including the ones you just collected from the previous mission
(and where you will find those you will collect during the game - with the
exception of the Nailer).
When you are done then head to the door to begin the main portion of the
game.....

The date: February 28, 2004.
47's mission is to infiltrate a vineyard in Chile and take down Don
Fernando Delgado and his son Manuel Delgado. Don is a former retired
Colonel who runs a well-respected vineyard. However, the vineyard is a
front for his true business - drug trafficking. Manuel is also part of the
business so he is to be taken down as well.
There is going to a party which is a celebrity unveiling of Delgado's new
wine label. This will provide a good cover.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
Not a terribly hard one to figure out. Although you can blow up a Winch and
cause a pallet of barrels to fall on Manuel I chose not to do that because
of the potential of noise and unnecessary casualties.
Although you can climb up a pipe to gain access to the 2nd Floor I felt
that there was too many people to keep track of, especially at Professional
difficulty, to safely be able to climb it without being seen.
But I came up with a way to lure one of the VIP Guards to the Weapons Box
in the Guard Room within the Hacienda to easily get him out of the way so I
could safely get to Don Fernando Delgado.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are six levels to the map:
>>Hangar
>>Guard House
>>Wine Cellar
>>Hacienda, 2nd Floor
>>Hacienda, 1st Floor
>>Outside
The Outside Map is where you start. There are five Point of Interests. The
first one, southeast of the Wine Cellar, is a group of boxes you can use to
climb the wall, The second one, to the east is a pipe that can be climbed
up to reach the second floor of the Hacienda.
The third PoI, at the east side of the Hacienda, is another pipe you can
use to climb to the second floor. The fourth one, to the north of that, is
a junked truck you can use to climb up to the roof of a building. The last
one, to the northwest of that, is a low section of wall that you can use to
climb or snipe over.
Your ICA Crate is at the west side of the Outside area. The Hangar has your
Exit Point. The Guard House has a Power Switch and Guards Quarters where
you can find some weapons and ammo. The Wine Cellar has one Point of
Interest which is the secret door that leads into the Drug Lab.
The Hacienda, 2nd Floor has one Point of Interest which is a window you can
use to enter from outside. The Hacienda, 1st Floor has two Point of
Interests. The first, on the left is a Guard Room that has a VIP Guard
Outfit plus weapons and ammo. The second, on the right, is a Weapons Crate
where you can store your weapons.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
For this particular strategy a Pistol is required at the start. Use either
your Silverballer or the SLP .40 Pistol acquired from the previous mission.
When you start the mission then you will be at the north end of the Outside
area. Run east until you get out of view of the stationary Guard then run
until you reach the northeast corner of the facility.
When you turn the corner then continue running. There will be a Guard you
will pass as you continue south towards the fence at the cliff edge. When
you get to the fence then head west toward the Hacienda. Near the Hacienda
there is a break in this fence that will lead you to a narrow path that
goes down to the Hangar.
Run down the pathway until you get to the bottom. When you get to the
bottom then you will see a Worker standing there ahead of you. You can
push him into the water, which will kill him in an Accident, but the best
thing to do is to Sneak up on him, Grab him, pull him back to the end of
the path, and Whip him.
Then take his clothes which will leave your Suit in a safe place near the
path. This will also make it easier in regards to entering the Hangar area.
After taking care of this Worker then go up against the stone wall and look
inside the Hangar. Stay out of sight of the VIP Guard who is standing way
ahead of you. Eventually another Worker will appear and stand near some
barrels. Then he will head back into the Elevator he came from. Once he
disappears into the Elevator then make your move.
Sneak up behind the VIP Guard, Grab him, move him over to the large box
just northeast of you, and Whip him. It should be noted that he can go over
to the large box as part of his patrol route but he won't do that most
times.
When you have knocked out the VIP Guard then change into his VIP Guard
Outfit, grab his SAF SMG, and Prep your Pistol again. Now head to the
barrels where the other Worker was standing before and get close enough to
the Hammer to get the prompt to pick it up but don't take it (at least not
yet - if you want it).
When the Worker comes back down the Elevator then wait for him to stand in
front of you and Whip him (and take the Hammer if you want). This will keep
him from causing any problems later. After dealing with this Worker then
enter the Elevator and go through the Drug Lab and the secret door that
goes into the Wine Cellar. In this part of the Wine Cellar you will see two
large circular rooms - with a Guard in each.
If you have done everything correctly then you should see Manuel heading
towards you to enter the Drug Lab. Turn left and stand in the south part of
the south circular room. You're going to be waiting for awhile so take the
time to look around.
The Guard that stands in the north circular room will stand against the
central pillar for awhile then head to the west entrance for a bit. Then he
will head to the room west of the two circular rooms. After standing for a
bit inside this room then he will head east toward the south circular room
and then north to his original position.
The Guard that stands at the south circular room has a very short pattern -
he stands at the west entrance of the room then moves over to the wine tub
for a bit before he goes back.
To the north you will see a pair of Civilians - a couple who happen to be
making out too much to cause any problems. Every so often a large group of
Civilians will come down to tour the Wine Cellar but you should have
everything you need to do done before they come down.
With that explained, let's proceed:
Wait for Manuel to leave the Drug Lab and head to the room directly west of
your position to snort some product. The Guard for the north circular room
should be heading in your direction as he heads back to his post. Walk to
the central pillar and wait for the Guard to pass you by. The other Guard
should be standing at the wine tub at this point.
Walk to the west entrance of this room and wait for the Guard to return and
stand here. Don't do anything yet. Wait for Manuel to leave and get out of
view then Whip the Guard. Then drag his body southwest and behind the large
wine tub. This will keep him out of view but *DON'T* pick up his Shotgun.
Now head to the room that Manuel was in. You should see a large wooden
table with a short white line on it. This is the product he snorts. At the
north side of the room behind a group of barrels is a large Container. Prep
your Poison and stand at the table by the white line. The north Guard will
come towards your position but will notice the dropped Shotgun.
He will then pick up the Shotgun and head to the Guard House to drop it
off. This will get him out of the way long enough for you to do what you
need to do. When Manuel comes back to snort some more then Poison him, grab
his TMP (if you want), and drag him to the Container to dispose of him.
That's one objective down.
After this then go back through the Drug Lab, past the Elevator, and head
up the stairs to the first floor of the Hacienda. The next goal is the
Guard Room at the west side of the first floor. When you go through the
door at the top of the stairs then turn right to find the door that leads
into the hallway. Open the door.
You should see a VIP Guard in this hallway. Head towards the west end of
this hallway (passing the Guard as you do so) and enter the Guard Room.
Inside you will find a Weapons Box with plenty of weapons and a sleeping
VIP Guard. Grab a Shotgun then leave the Guard Room and go to the main
staircase in the center of this floor.
Go up the stairs on the east side of this area about halfway up and stop.
Near the top of the stairs, by a double door, is a stationary VIP Guard. In
the hallway at the top of the stairs is a patrolling VIP Guard who will go
east and west along it and stop for a short time when he gets to an end.
Most of the doors are locked and need to be picked. Of course, you cannot
be seen by a Guard as you pick the lock. So the plan is to lure the
stationary VIP Guard away from the door by dropping the Shotgun.
At Professional difficulty it is best to stand halfway up the stairs or you
will risk your Threat Meter going into the yellow because of the stationary
VIP Guard.
Wait for the patrolling VIP Guard to go left past the top of the stairs
then head up. When you get to the top of the stairs then drop the Shotgun
which will cause the stationary VIP Guard to pick it up and go to the
Weapons Box to drop it off.
After that then walk east past the patrolling Guard then stop at the door
at the end of the hallway. The Guard will look at you as you pass him then
head west again. Wait for him to get near the stairs then Pick the Lock to
enter the next room but stay near the door.
Don will play his Cello in this room then head into the central room to
stand outside for a bit before heading back inside. Then he will go over to
the sleeping Guard and then sip some wine before heading back to his Cello.
Although you can push him over the railing when he stands outside I prefer
to kill him when he is playing his Cello so I can acquire the Snub Nosed
Pistol.
Sneak over to him while he is playing and kill him (Poison, Wire, Hammer)
then grab his Pistol. This will complete your last objective other than
escaping.
If you did not get a Shotgun from the mission "Death of a Showman" then go
back to the Guard Room to grab the Shotgun then store it inside the Weapon
Crate at the east side of the 1st Floor.
From here, head back down to the Drug Lab the same way you came then take
the Elevator down to the Hangar. Change back into your Suit and walk past
the sleeping Guard to your Exit Point to successfully complete the mission.

The date: March 17, 2004.
47's next mission is at the Paris Opera House. There are two Targets to
kill - tenor Alvaro D'Alvade and the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican,
Richard Delahunt. Apparently both are involved in child prostitution and is
the primary reason for their assassination.
The Opera House is currently being renovated and that will give you some
cover to do your work. In addition, there are rehearsals for the opera
"Tosca" in which Alvaro is the star. They are rehearsing the third act
which involves an execution. The Agency has left a pickup for 47 within the
Opera House that will allow him to take advantage of this scene.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
There are plenty of ways to kill both Targets. However, I prefer the most
popular method which involves switching out the prop pistol with a real one
so that the actor on stage accidentally kills Alvaro while rehearsing.
This is also the mission that 47 did prior to being shot which set up the
story in "Contracts".
This is also a good level to acquire the "Special Rating" Accomplishment in
the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. This is mainly because of narrow stairwells
that make it easier to Disarm people and a Basement with lots of unarmed
Workers that you can stalk and kill.
There are two Special Ratings you can go after in this mission: "Garroteer"
(killing lots of people with the Fiber Wire) and "Evil Eye Gouger" (killing
lots of people with the Screwdriver).
The best to go after is "Garroteer" because, if you go get the Screwdriver
and try to obtain the "Evil Eye Gouger" Rating, then you may risk crashing
the Xbox 360 version when swinging the weapon around.
Although most people prefer to get the "The Russian Hare" rating in the
mission "A New Life" I believe it is easier to get either the "Garroteer"
and "Evil Eye Gouger" rating, and the "Special Rating" Accomplishment,
here.
"The Russian Hare" rating involves killing all of the FBI Agents with
headshots using the Sniper Rifles. That requires precision. However, the
"Garroteer" and "Evil Eye Gouger" requires less precision and therefore is
easier to acquire, especially at Rookie difficulty.
Before doing this it is best to get a Silent Assassin rating in this
mission first at Rookie difficulty and buy the Flexible Flak Jacket and
Painkillers.
For the "Garroteer" rating, when you start the mission then Wire the Worker
that you would have normally Sedated in the Restroom and take his clothes.
Then go down into the Basement through the door east of the Restroom. From
here, stalk and Wire any Worker you come across. Don't try to kill them all
though, you want the bodies to be discovered at some point.
When a body is discovered then that person will go upstairs and alert a
Guard who will come down to the body. Then Wire him when he stops to look
it over. This will allow you to safely thin them out one by one. Eventually
you will get to a point that no more Guards will come down to the Basement.
Go upstairs and try to get a Guard in an isolated spot then Wire him. At
some point though, your cover will get blown and the remaining Guards will
then go after you. Go into a stairwell, hang around a corner, and Disarm
any Guard and Bodyguard that comes to confront you. When you have Disarmed
a group of them then Wire them before trying to lure more into a stairwell.
The Bodyguards will usually stand by the door where Delahunt will be
sitting. You pretty much have to get up close and Disarm them quickly
before they can do much damage because you won't be able to lure them into
a stairwell.
When you have completely killed off all of the Guards and Bodyguards then
simply run around and Wire everybody else (Workers, Tourists, Actors,
Targets) to get the "Garroteer" rating and the "Special Rating"
Accomplishment.
Because of the fact that there are no powerful Shotguns in this mission I
also recommend this mission for acquiring the "47 Kills" Accomplishment.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
When you start the mission then go inside, turn left, and head to the Coat
Depository to talk to the Receptionist. In the cutscene you will grab the
Real WWI Pistol - the item you need to pull off the accidental kill of
Alvaro.
From here, head to the Lobby Restroom just southwest of the Receptionist.
Here you will find a couple of toilets and a Container. You should also
find a Civilian here as you enter. Stand by where the Container and the
dividing wall meet and Prep your Sedative.
When the Civilian leaves then stand in front of the toilet closest to the
Container. A Worker will eventually enter the Restroom and use the toilet.
Listen for the sound of the Restroom door closing. When that happens then
Sedate the Worker, change into the Worker Outfit, and put the Worker into
the Container. After that then exit the Restroom.
Head north and climb the main stairs up to the 2nd Floor. Then continue
northwest and towards the spiral stairwell that leads up to the 3rd Floor.
When you get to the 3rd Floor then head southwest towards the Guards
Quarters door but don't enter it. There will be a Guard that will come by
and stand for awhile by the "Tosca" poster before walking away again.
When he gets out of view then enter the Guards Quarters and grab the MP5
(and the SLP .40 Pistol if you don't already have one). Then exit the
Guards Quarters and use the spiral staircase to get down to the 1st Floor.
When you get down to the 1st Floor then turn right to find a Worker
painting a door. Go through the nearby open door and head down to the
Basement. When you get through the next door then you should see a large
wooden table in front of you and a large panel on the floor. Go to the
panel and pick up a Nailer (which will automatically Prep it).
Then turn around and head back to the door you came from but go down the
short set of stairs to the left of the door instead. Then turn right at the
next corner to find a set of double doors. Go through the double doors and
off to your left is another single door that leads up to the Stage area.
Head through this door and up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs you should see a large curtain that leads into the
large dressing room. Cut through the large dressing room and through the
double doors that leads to the Backstage Hallway. Turn left when you get
through the double doors and enter the next door you get to. This leads
into a small Restroom. Go to the single toilet and stand in front of it.
What will happen is that a Worker will come from the Backstage working area
to this toilet and back again. One of the things you need to do is to enter
one of the smaller Dressing Rooms in the Backstage Hallway.
Since this Worker goes back and forth between this toilet and the Backstage
working area then you may risk having him see you enter and this can cause
problems. So, when the Worker tries to use the toilet, then Whip him with
the Nailer and leave the body. This will get him safely out of the way
because nobody else goes in here.
From here, exit the Restroom and head south down the Backstage Hallway. You
should see four doors along the right wall. Go to and stand by the third
door, the one with the silver star by it, but *DON'T* enter. Ahead of you
is a Bodyguard who is sitting, napping, in a chair.
Every now and then he will leave the chair and go to the nearby Restroom to
the south. But, at this stage of the mission - depending on how fast you
have done everything at this point, he may leave to go to the stage
instead (although sometimes he will go to the Restroom instead).
When the coast is clear then enter the Dressing Room, bring out the Real
WWI Pistol, and hide in the Closet but keep an eye on the door. When the
Bodyguard leaves for the Stage then this also means that the actors will be
taking a break from rehearsals. The actor that does the execution, with a
Prop WWI Pistol, will enter this room. He will practice his role for a bit
then place the Prop WWI Pistol on a table and head to the Restroom.
When he leaves the room then exit the Closet, wait for the door to close,
and head to the table where the Prop WWI Pistol is laying. Put Down Real
WWI Pistol (on the right side of the table), pick up the Prop WWI Pistol,
Prep your Sedative, then re-enter the closet.
The actor will re-enter the room, pick up the Real WWI Pistol, and leave.
When he leaves then exit the Closet and hang by the door. Look through the
door towards the Bodyguard's chair and wait for the actor to go around the
corner. When he does then exit the Dressing Room and head through the
double doors that are off to your left.
Run up the nearby stairs all the way to the 3rd Floor. Here you will be
above the Stage itself. You should see a Worker up here and a door to the
north. Head through the door and you will enter the domed Attic. Ahead of
you is a Winch that you can use the RU-AP Mine on but I am not going to use
it. Nearby is a small box.
Go to the north side of the box, look south, and angle the camera
downwards. What will happen is that the Worker will come into this room,
talk to himself, then sit on this box. When he sits down then Sedate him.
Leave the body.
Then go back out the door and to the nearby railing. Get the prompt to
Plant Bomb then do so. When Detonated then this will cause the stage lights
to fall down along the back side of the stage below. Go back into the Attic
and to the ladder at the east side. When you get down to the next level
then head south to find a hole in the floor.
Climb down to the scaffolding and you should have an excellent view of the
rehearsal. Prep your Detonator while waiting and go into 1st Person Mode to
get an unobstructed view of the Stage.
You will notice that the action takes place on a platform in the center of
the Stage. Soon the action will climax with the execution and with the
actor shooting at Alvaro. However, since you switched out the Pistols, this
will result in the accidental death of Alvaro and this completes one
objective.
After this then Delahunt will run to the stage to be near his fallen
friend. He will be wearing a blue-green jacket. Bring out your Detonator
and, when Delahunt starts climbing the stairs on the platform, then
Detonate. Delahunt will be heading to the northwest corner of the platform
as you use the Detonator.
There is a short delay between you pressing the button and the explosion so
that will give Delahunt time to get into position. Then the explosion
itself will cause his trailing Bodyguards to stop in their tracks. And then
the lights will crash down on Delahunt and kill him. This completes your
last objective.
By timing the explosion this way then you will kill only your Target. If
you wait until his Bodyguards arrive then you may risk unnecessary
casualties.
Climb back up into the Attic, get back into 3rd Person Mode, and wait for
things to calm down (meaning that your Threat Meter goes to green). The
reason for waiting is that the Guards will head to the source of the
explosion and you don't want to risk them seeing the body of the Sedated
Worker as you leave the Attic.
When everything is calm then retrace your steps back to the Restroom where
you left your Suit. When the coast is clear then change back into your Suit
and head to your Exit Point to successfully complete the mission.

0=======================================================>
The date: March 31, 2004.
47's next assignment takes him to the Pine Cone Rehabilitation Clinic in
northern California. There are three mobsters that have checked into the
clinic. One of them plans to turn state's witness when he is discharged.
The client wants to avoid that but no one knows which of the three is the
Target.
An undercover agent that was placed inside the clinic to find out has not
been heard from for awhile. Somehow he is being kept drunk for unknown
reasons. The clinic will only discharge patients if they are sober or dead.
The only way to get the Agent out is to kill him.
But the Agent is needed alive. To this end 47 is given an experimental
serum that gives the appearance of being dead and the antidote to bring him
back out of his coma.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
There are two ways to enter the Main Building. One way is through the
locked door at the connecting area between the Medical Wing and the Main
Building and the other way is by stealing somebody's Admission Paper on the
outside overlook and becoming a patient by going in through the front door.
I found that going through the locked door is better because I can keep the
main Therapist from wandering the building. When the mission begins the
Therapist is inside the Reception Area and won't leave as long as you don't
enter it.
Even though you can knock him out on the 2nd Floor I prefer not to do the
extra work. And, speaking of therapists, you can dress up as one and make
your assignment much easier. It should be noted that the Therapist Outfit
will allow you to go through the facility with little or no suspicion.
Another thing I found about this mission is that, even though they look
like Civilians, the Orderlies are also Guards. This means that they can be
lured by Weapon Dropping. And that makes ambushing them easier (if you
choose to do so).
Finally, you get to use the nifty Stun Gun which will make taking down
Guards and other people easy. It has the same effect as Sedating and
Pistolwhipping.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
When you start the mission then immediately turn left and run west. Turn
right and run north when you get to the corner of the Guard Shack. As you
proceed north then you will see a vine covered wall. Run along past the
left side of this wall and go up the rock embankment to the path.
When you get up onto the path then run north past the large tree and to the
brick wall that comprises the connecting area between the Medical Wing and
the Main Building. When you get here then turn right to find a set of
stairs leading up.
If you have run all the way to this point then you should see a Guard near
the top walking away from you. Climb the stairs and turn left 180 degrees.
You should see your ICA Crate. Look right a little bit and you should see a
locked door. Pick the Lock and enter.
You should be in a narrow hallway with a Keycard Door to your left and
another locked door ahead of you. Pick the lock of the door ahead and then
walk out and turn right after you proceed through the door. Walk east then
up the short set of stairs but enter Sneak Mode when you get to the top.
Sneak east and past the Power Switch then go through the door that leads
into the Guard Room. Right after you enter you should see a Weapons Box to
your right. Grab a Stun Gun and Sneak forward to find a Guard sitting in a
chair. Sneak to the Guard and Zap him with the Stun Gun. Steal Video Tape
from the nearby Surveillance Machine, grab the Rehab Keycard, then open the
nearby Keycard Door and drag the Stunned Guard through it.
Head down the short set of stairs then drop the Guard close to the door
leading back outside. Switch into the Clinic Security Outfit which will
place your Suit just inside the door. The Rehab Keycard will also open the
other Keycard Door that leads into the Medical Wing where the Agent is
being kept.
The problem here is that there are two doors that actually go into the
Medical Wing and they are both locked. Unfortunately, even though you have
a Lockpick, these doors cannot be picked. The only people who have keys to
gain access are the Orderlies. There are three inside the Medical Wing and
two in the Basement.
Even so, you can still gain easy access to the Medical Wing. Proceed
forward through the second Keycard Door and to the Medical Wing. Here you
should find the door. To the left of the door is an open window. Stand
between the door and the window and angle the camera so you can look
through the window.
Here you will see an Orderly sitting in a chair. There will be a second
Orderly that stands in the office, complain about the coffee, then leave to
go outside through the door at the south side of the facility. Then he will
come back to the office and the pattern repeats.
If you look closely at the end of the table just beyond the window then you
will find a Cell Key and a Rehab Keycard. I already have the Keycard from
the Guard and I can get a Cell Key from one of the Orderlies in the Office.
A third Orderly will have a short pattern in the cell area itself. He will
stand in front of a cell then head west to stand in one then go back.
To prevent any interference I prefer to knock all three of these Orderlies
out. It's not hard to do.
Look out for the second Orderly and wait for him to leave and be completely
out of view before making your move. Sneak to and through the open window
then to the first Orderly. Look through the large window and keep an eye on
the door that leads outside.
When the second Orderly goes through the door and gets out of view then
bring out your Stun Gun and Zap the sitting Orderly. Then drag his body to
the Container at the northwest corner of the office. Change into the
Orderly Outfit and grab his Cell Key.
Then dump him into the Container and Sedate the Coffee Cup on the nearby
table. Prep your Stun Gun and head into the cell area. Go downstairs and
hang close to the cell that the other Orderly likes to stand in. Look
through the window when he is inside to see where he stands.
Wait for the second Orderly to walk past your position before entering the
cell. Stand near where the third Orderly stands and wait for him to come
back. When he stops in front of you then Zap him. By the time you take down
the third Orderly then the second one will be Sedated.
Head into the Agent's cell and talk to him. It's Agent Smith - again. The
same one you keep rescuing (third or fourth time already since "Codename
47") and 47 is none too pleased. After the cutscene then Sedate Agent.
In the following cutscene you are notified that there are two additional,
and optional, Targets that you can go after. Of course, I am going after
both.
Three Targets will now appear on the Map - one red (primary) and two
"lightish red" (optional). The primary Target will be random on each
run-through.
And your Targets are:
--Rudy Menzana (pink robe)
--Carmine Desalvo (light green robe)
--Lorenzo Lombardo (light blue robe)
You can take them down in many different ways - poisoning hidden bottles,
pushing them into the Jacuzzi, crushing necks with weights, etc. But there
is one very easy way to take them down and without the bodies being found.
By becoming a Therapist.
From the Medical Wing, go through the two Keycard Doors and back through
the Guard Room. Then re-enter the hallway but *DON'T* go through the double
doors leading into the main area. To the right of the double doors is a
single door that leads into the Kitchen. At the south central side of the
Kitchen is a bucket and a mop.
Next to it is a hidden Bottle. Poison it and leave. This will take care of
one of the Targets and without the body being found. That Target is Lorenzo
Lombardo and he is also the one that goes up to the 2nd Floor and cooks in
his room. It is important not to go near him when you are in the Therapist
Outfit or he will go to the upstairs Office.
Although you can Poison the bottle at any time it is highly recommended
that you wait until Lorenzo appears as a Target first. The reason is that
if you kill him before he is identified then it will count as a
non-accidental Civilian kill and your score will suffer.
After Poisoning the Bottle then leave the Kitchen, go through the double
doors, and proceed east through the center of the first floor. You should
see a large fireplace and four sets of stairs - two at each side of this
room. Take one of the stairs at the east side of the room and head up.
Here you should see four small offices. One has an open door and three with
locked doors. Go through the one with the open door and you should find the
Therapist Outfit. Change into it and Prep your Fiber Wire.
It should be noted that the only person that goes up to this area of the
2nd Floor is the Therapist but he is stuck in the Reception Area because of
how you entered the building.
Go downstairs and find one of your remaining Targets. I recommend going
after Rudy (the one in the pink robe) first. He goes between the Jacuzzi
(northeast corner) and the Den (north central). When you find him then he
will comment about that it is time for his session and he will meet you in
your Office.
That Office will be the large room in the south central side of the 2nd
Floor. It will have two beige chairs with a small table between them. Go up
here and stand behind the west chair.
Rudy will walk slowly to the Office so you will be waiting awhile. As you
are waiting Agent Smith will be moved to the Morgue. This will also unlock
the doors to it so you can enter it to revive him and escape. When Rudy
enters the Office then he will sit in the chair in front of you.
Wire him when he starts talking then drag his body north through the small
room and to the balcony that overlooks the Den. Drag him to the railing,
drop him, and close the door as you leave. This is why you should go after
Rudy first - he is the only person who goes into the Den and you may risk
having him see you if you went after Carmine first and dragged his body
here.
After hiding Rudy's body then go find Carmine. He goes between the Gym
(southeast corner) and Outside. When you find him and he comments about his
session then go back to the Office and stand behind the east chair while
you wait for him. Like before, Wire him he starts talking then leave the
body since nobody else comes up here.
By the time you kill Carmine then Lorenzo will have drank from the Poisoned
Bottle and died thus completing all of your primary and secondary
objectives.
After killing all of your Targets then head back to the small Guard Room
and the narrow hallway where you dropped off the Stunned Guard and left
your Suit. Before changing out, however, go back outside first and stop by
the two benches.
Look all around to make sure that there are no Guards or patients nearby
before going back to your Suit. If everything has gone smoothly up to this
point then you should see a Guard approach you from the east. He will then
stop between the benches in front of you.
You could Zap him if you want but there is no reason to take the risk of a
potential Witness or anything else going wrong. When he finally leaves and
gets far enough away then quickly go back inside, switch back into your
Suit, and leave. From here, head down to the Guard Shack the same way you
came earlier.
As you head south towards the Guard Shack keep an eye out for an Orderly
who may be on the path nearby. When Agent Smith was transferred to the
Morgue then this started a patrol pattern of another Orderly.
He will go from the Morgue, up the path to the north end, then head back
down again and repeat. If you did not see him as you made your way towards
the Guard Shack then more than likely he is down near the Morgue. Nobody,
not even the Orderly, cares about you going in and out of the Morgue.
However, you certainly don't want anybody seeing you wake up Agent Smith.
Go inside the Morgue and stand in the corner by the Elevator. Wait for the
Orderly to come inside, stand for awhile, and leave. Once the doors close
then go to Agent Smith, Revive Agent, and Escape through the nearby door to
successfully complete the mission.

0=======================================================>
The date: May 15, 2004.
47's next Target is a gangster named Vinnie Sinestra. He is in a witness
protection program pending a court appearance. Vinnie also has some hard
evidence that can't be allowed to be seen. The client thinks that it may be
on some microfilm somewhere.
He is currently holed up in a suburban house in southern California and the
client does not want Vinnie to make it to the courtroom. But the house is
being protected by the Feds so it will be tough to get at him. However,
there is going to be a birthday party for Vinnie's child and that may be
useful in getting inside the house.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
After playing around with this mission some more I found that you can keep
your Threat Meter under control when you are in a disguise and interacting
with Vinnie's Wife. However, I decided it was best to stick with the
ambushing method I devised when I built the guide.
It is also important to point out that if you cause too much trouble then
additional Agents in Limos will arrive at the house. In addition, I saved
acquiring the Air Rifle for last instead of doing it in the middle of the
mission.
This is also the best mission to get the "Fully Upgraded" Accomplishments
for your custom weapons (because this mission can be quickly completed). It
involves a little trick and credit goes to s1u5h13 who posted this at
Xbox360Accomplishments.com.
After you complete the mission "Death on the Mississippi" (which completes
unlocking of all of the Kruger Schmidt upgrade tiers) then go back to this
mission in Rookie difficulty. Choose one of your custom weapons (like the
Silverballer) and buy everything for it. Take it with you and do the
mission. How you do and complete the mission is irrelevant as long as it is
successful.
When the mission is completed then you will get the Accomplishment for
fully customizing the weapon. After you get to the Details Screen then kick
back into the Dashboard of either the Xbox 360 or PS3. Then reboot the
game. You will get all of the money you spent for upgrading back and lose
the upgrades but you will still keep the Accomplishment.
Then go back to this mission, chose another upgradable weapon, and repeat
the process. Continue until you have all five of the "Fully Upgraded"
Accomplishments.

There are four levels to the map:
>>Basement
>>2nd Floor
>>1st Floor
>>Outside
The Outside Map is where you start and also has your Exit Point. A Power
Switch can be found at the south side of the house.
There are two Point of Interests. The one to the south is the FBI Truck
where you can find a couple of Agents and the Video Tape. The one to the
north is the Treehouse where you can find the Air Rifle.
Your ICA Crate is to the east. The Vet's Office, where you can find a
Bottle of Ether and Tranquilizer Darts, is to the south of the FBI Truck.
The 1st Floor has a Guards Quarters near the northwest corner. The large
Pool is at the northeast corner. The Dining Room is at the southeast
corner. The 2nd Floor has a large central room that Vinnie enters from time
to time. The Girl's Bedroom is directly south of that.
There is one Point of Interest in the Basement which is the Weapons Crate
where you can store weapons.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
For this particular strategy a Pistol is required at the start. Any Pistol
will do but do not bring an SLP. 40 Pistol.
When you start the mission then you will be near the Exit Point. You will
also see a Jogger stretching to the south. Quickly Prep your Pistol then
run to the Jogger but start Sneaking when you are about ten feet away from
him. Get behind him and go into 1st Person Mode so you can look directly at
his back.
Grab him then move him northeast across the street to the tree there and
Whip him. By Whipping the Jogger then you will make it easier on yourself
in regards to re-acquiring your Suit near the end of the mission. After
Whipping the Jogger then Prep your Sedative.
From here, go around the end of the hedge wall and turn east. Ahead of you
should be a yellow Catering Van. At this point there should be a Caterer
getting something from the back of the Van. When he walks away then head to
the back of the vehicle.
It is important to note there is also an Agent that has a patrol route that
ends at the corner of the Garage northwest of your position. But, at this
point in the mission, he will be heading inside the house and not be an
issue.
When you look in the back of the van then you should see a Catering Crate
and a box of Donuts. Quickly Sedate the Donuts and grab them. Run to the
back of the large white boxy van across the street. Go to the right side of
the doors and stand back a couple of feet to prompt Put Down Donuts.
This will allow you to place the Donuts on the ground and knock on the
door. After this then go around the nearby corner of the Van so you are out
of view but be next to the door. Rotate your Camera so you can see the
inside of the Van on the left side of the screen. When the door closes then
re-open them. This will allow you to keep an eye on the Agents.
The Agents will eat the Poisoned Donuts, stagger, and drop. After they drop
then rotate your Camera so you are looking north. You need to look out for
the Caterer and the outside patrolling Agent. At this point, if everything
has gone smoothly, then the Caterer should still be inside and the outside
Agent should be turning around to go back.
When the coast is clear then open the doors, loop around the edge of the
door, and enter the Van. Go to one of the fallen Agents, switch into the
FBI Agent Outfit, pick up an SLP .40 Pistol, and Steal Video Tape from the
Surveillance Machine. Exit the FBI Van and head to the Vet's Office just
south of you.
Run into the garage and Pick the Lock of the door. Go inside the office and
you should see the Bottle of Ether on the table to your left. Go back out
the same way you came and run to the house.
Run through the front door of the house and through the next door to enter
the Stairway Room. Go up the stairs and through the door at the top. You
should see an Agent by the door as you go through it. Go through the next
two doors to enter the Girls' Bedroom. At the south side of the room is a
desk.
On the desk are the Girls Panties. Go to them to get the prompt to Pour
Ether On Girls Panties. You see, the Agent you passed by is a bit of a perv
(as already hinted by the Intel) and likes to sniff the panties when he
comes in here. Of course, I can use that against him which is why I am
using the Ether on them. And this makes for one less person to deal with on
the 2nd Floor when I come back here later.
After this then go back down the same way you came. When you get back down
the stairs then turn left 180-degrees to find the door into the East
Hallway. Go through this door then through the door to your right to enter
the Dining Room. If everything has gone smoothly up to this point then
there should already be an Agent here.
He should be standing by the window at the south side of the room. Stay on
the opposite side of the table and wait for him to leave. After he leaves
then stand where he was standing and wait for him to come back. While you
are waiting then Prep any of your Pistols. When he comes back then Whip
him.
After Whipping him then go back into the East Hallway and head north
through the door at the end to enter the Shower/Sauna area and wait by the
door to the Pool.
The plan is to ambush Vinnie's Wife after she leaves the Pool. The reason
for doing this is because she has a new necklace. And this necklace is
where the Microfilm is hidden. So you need to safely take her down so you
can get at it.
This is also the primary reason for knocking out the Agent in the Dining
Room - he goes through this area. Wait for her to leave the Pool and walk
past you. Then sneak up behind her and Whip her before she gets to the
door. Grab the Necklace with Microfilm then drag her into either the Sauna
or the small bathroom in the hallway.
The reason for ambushing her near the Sauna instead of either the East
Hallway or the small bathroom is because she will become a Witness if you
try to take her down in either of those places. The reason is she can see
you Sneak up on her because of the mirrors in the hallway and bathroom. So
it is important you get her before she can get to the hallway.
After dealing with her it is time to get rid of some Agents on the opposite
side of the house so I can clear a path to the Weapons Crate (in the
Basement) and the Weapons Box (in the Guards Quarters).
From the Shower/Sauna area, go back into the West Hallway and then into the
Stairway Room. Head northwest to enter the Kitchen. Continue northwest to
find the door into the West Hallway. You should also be passing an Agent as
you head to the door.
Turn left when you enter the West Hallway and through the door at the end
to enter into the Laundry Room. Turn left at the next corner to find the
door leading down into the Basement. The Agent you passed by needs to be
knocked out and his patrol route ends here.
Run down to the Basement floor and through the next door. After going
through this door then you should see a shelving unit on the north wall to
the left. Stand with your back to the wall and about four feet west of the
shelving unit, look southeast, and wait for the Agent to return.
When the Agent returns and stands in front of you then Sneak up on him and
Whip him. You can grab the Nailer nearby if you you didn't get one from the
mission "Curtains Down". Then run back up the stairs and to the door into
the West Hallway. Then open the door to your left to look inside the Guards
Quarters.
There is a good chance that the outside patrolling Agent is inside. If he
is then stand at the north end of the West Hallway and wait for him to
leave. When he does then go inside the Guards Quarters. Stand at the
southwest corner of this room (by the desk chair) and look northeast. When
the Agent comes back then wait for him to stop in front of you then Whip
him.
By Whipping these Agents then you have cleared a safe path to the Weapons
Crate to store weapons and to the Weapons Box as well for something that
needs to be done later. Clean out the Box which will allow you to obtain
the MP7.
Then drag the unconscious Agent back into the Laundry Room and put him into
the Container by the door. You should see a door on the east side of the
Laundry Room. Prep your SLP .40 Pistol and go through it to enter the
Kitchen. As you get to the next corner then you should see another door to
your right. This leads into the Living Room.
Now it is time to deal with Vinnie. He always goes with an Escort. There
are two places that you can kill him - the Living Room and the Upstairs
Office.
Killing him in the Living Room (Poisoning him in his chair after luring the
Escort to the Power Switch) may risk you being seen by the Caterer through
the window. So I am going to use the Upstairs Office to ambush him.
However, if you kill him here then his Escort will eventually enter the
room and find the body which will negatively affect your rating. So I need
to get rid of the Escort first. The best way is to lure him to the Weapons
Box inside the Guards Quarters by dropping a weapon.
Open the door to look inside the Living Room. If everything has gone
smoothly up to this point then they should be leaving to go upstairs. Go
behind Vinnie's chair and drop the Pistol behind it but close to the cart
and lamp to the left.
The reason for this particular placement is that sometimes Vinnie himself
will find the weapon instead of the Escort. If Vinnie finds the weapon then
your Threat Meter will go back down quickly after it goes green and you
will have to get another Pistol (from one of the fallen Agents) and try
again later.
By placing the weapon here behind the chair then only the Escort will find
it. After dropping the weapon then head back to the Weapons Box.
However, you need to enter the Guards Quarters from the north door, which
is for the connecting bathroom. Sometimes the Escort will come in through
the north door instead of the other one.
The Weapons Box is by the door and you need to keep it open so you can
properly ambush the Escort if he ends up going through the north door
instead of the other one. If you stand by the Box and the north door is
closed and the Escort comes through the north door then you will get pushed
out of the way and be out of position to attack the Escort.
By coming in through the north door and standing by the Weapons Box then
you can keep the door open. While waiting then Prep the Sedative. Sedate
the Escort when he bends down over the Weapons Box and leave the body.
However, if you want the Air Rifle, then drag his body through the Laundry
Room and drop him in the Garage.
After dealing with the Escort then Prep either your Poison or Fiber Wire
and head up to the 2nd Floor. Enter the Upstairs Office which is the
central room on the north side of this floor. Stand by the left side of the
table and wait. When Vinnie walks in then he will stand in front of you.
Poison or Wire him and grab his Bull .480.
After killing Vinnie then go back down and out the front door. At this
point you have the option to do the following:
>>Obtaining the Air Rifle
***********************
Hopefully you dragged the unconscious Escort to the Garage first
otherwise you are going to cause problems.
After leaving the house then head to the Treehouse at the north side
of the Map. There will be a female Gardener picking at the ground
near the Treehouse but as long as you are dressed as an Agent then
she will not cause any problems as you approach it. Climb the
Treehouse Ladder and you will find the Air Rifle on the table.
Pick it up and go up against the southeast wall and between the
Ladder and the wall corner. Rotate the camera so you can see the
window on the southwest wall (you can also see the pirate flag
through it). Aim the Crosshair at the very upper left corner of the
inside of the window frame.
Now throw the Air Rifle through the window. If you aimed it correctly
then it should land in the yard beyond the hedge wall. If improperly
aimed then the Air Rifle will clip the window frame in which case it
will land on the hedge wall below and the weapon will be lost.
Eventually the patrolling Agent below, in the backyard, will find the
Air Rifle and put it into the Weapons Box inside the Guards Quarters.
Climb back down the Treehouse Ladder and retrace your steps back to
the Laundry Room. Go to the south door that leads into the West
Hallway but don't go through it.
Stay by it and open the door. Watch for the Agent to go into the
Guards Quarters and return to the Kitchen before doing anything. When
it is clear then go and acquire the Air Rifle, run to the Basement,
and place it into the Weapons Crate. Then head back outside through
the Laundry Room door.
Once you get back outside regardless then go to the back of the FBI Van.
Look out for the Caterer - you don't want to have him see you leave the Van
in your Suit. Safest thing to do is to wait for him to be standing by his
van and leave before making your move.
When he walks past the tree in the front yard then re-enter the FBI Van,
switch back into your Suit, run out of the Van, and head to the Exit Point
to successfully complete the mission.

0=======================================================>
The date: October 25, 2004.
47's next mission takes him to New Orleans. The American Secretary of the
Interior is targeted for assassination during the Mardi Gras parade. The
client does not want that to happen. So 47 is to take down the people who
are trying to kill the Secretary.
There are three assassins: Mark Purayah, Jr, Raymond Kulinsky, and Angelina
Mason. Mark is the leader, Raymomd is the assassin, and Angelina is recon
and support. Nobody knows where they are at but the payment to them has
been identified and should lead 47 to them if followed. The parade also has
lot of Civilians about so extra care needs to be exercised.

++Notes
*****
There are four new weapons and all can be acquired discreetly. Except
one. That would be the Kazo TRG. There are no Weapons Crates nearby and
you cannot conceal it for safe removal from where Raymond was hiding.
It is best to play through this mission until you get a Silent Assassin
rating (and zero Notoriety) before going after the Sniper Rifle. When
you go after the Rifle then just follow the outline I've written.
However, you don't need to be nice - you can just kill the Delivery Guy
and the Bird Guard.
In addition, you can just skip going after the MP9, SG552, and the
Diamonds Briefcase since you should have already acquired those in your
Silent Assassin run-through.
Kill Angelina with the Piano then go after Raymond. After killing him
then open the door to the balcony but stay to one side. Look out for
floats - the last thing you want is to have the weapon land on it and
become lost.
When the coast is clear then grab the Kazo TRG, open the door to the
balcony but stay inside, aim near the top of the door, and throw the
Rifle into the street.
If you are at the Blues Bar then you need to stay to the *RIGHT* of the
double doors and throw the Rifle to the northwest. This is because you
can be seen by a Hotel guest across the street.
If everything goes well then you should see your Threat Meter go green
as the Cops discover the weapon and take it to the Weapons Box at the
Guards Quarters.
While this is going on then re-acquire your Suit. Then run to the
Guards Quarters, grab the Kazo TRG, and run like hell to the Exit Point
nearby while the Cops are shooting at you. This works well at Rookie
and Normal difficulty but can be hazardous at Expert and Professional
difficulty.
At those difficulty levels you should have a second RU-AP Mine on you.
After you re-acquire your Suit then head to the East Courtyard. Wait
for the Cop that patrols the Courtyard to come through before doing
anything.
When the coast is clear then drop an RU-AP Mine on the ground between
the tree and the alley that leads to the Guards Quarters. After that
then Prep your Detonator, walk into the alley, stop near the other end,
and look towards the Weapons Box.
You should see another Cop by it. When the Cop that patrols the East
Courtyard picks up the Mine then he will head to the Weapons Box. When
the Cop carrying the Mine gets to the Weapons Box then Detonate it.
This will kill him and the other Cop. And the explosion will attract a
bunch of other Cops.
Wait for things to settle down completely before running over to the
Weapons Box to grab the Rifle. By using the Mine this way then you have
safely killed off a couple of nearby Cops that would've shot at your
back as you ran off to the Exit Point with the weapon.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
This one was another pain to figure out mainly because of the different
places that the Delivery Guy goes to within the Courtyards and where
Raymond hides out at. The randomness of these locations added to the
complexity of the mission. I also tried several different ways of going
after Angelina before settling on the popular Piano dropping method.
It is important to note that the assassination *CANNOT* take place unless
the Diamonds Briefcase is actually delivered to Mark's desk. Preventing the
Briefcase from reaching the desk is the best way to protect the Secretary.
Of course, you can take the Diamonds Briefcase for yourself for extra
money (an additional $70,000). Even though it is listed in your objectives
it is entirely optional.
In addition, both Raymond and Angelina will not appear on the Map until you
acquire the Walkie Talkie from any of the three Targets (except at Rookie
difficulty).
You will see that the streets are jammed with people. These are Partygoers
and aren't classified as real Civilians in that they can't do anything if
you or somebody else starts shooting.
But regular Civilians can get mixed in with them so the Partygoers are in
essence camouflage. However, the Civilians, Cops, and Bird Guards can see
you just fine through them so the Partygoers are of no real use other than
to obscure your vision.
Unlike the Agents from the previous mission the Cops aren't overly
sensitive but you still don't want to stand around them too long. The
strategy for this mission will allow you to walk out with the Diamonds
Briefcase and safely acquire the SG552.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Mardi Gras supposed to be in *FEBRUARY*,
not October?
Finally, if you've earned Silent Assassin ratings on the previous four
missions then this is the earliest you can get the "5
Normal/Expert/Professional Silent Assassins" Accomplishment.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are five levels to the map:
>>Basement
>>Shops and Restaurants, 3rd Floor
>>Shops and Restaurants, 2nd Floor
>>Shops and Restaurants, 1st Floor
>>Streets and Back Alleys
When you look at the Streets and Back Alleys Map then you will see three
bars and three courtyards in addition to four Point of Interests. The first
Point of Interest is the Hideout where Mark Purayah is at. The one
northeast of that is a Weapons Crate that you can use for storing the
SG552.
The two PoIs to the south are located in the West Courtyard. The one at the
southwest corner is another Weapons Crate. The other one is a Sniping
Platform that can be climbed up on so you can shoot Mark through the north
alley.
There are two additional Courtyards of note. The one just east of the West
Courtyard (with two alleys) is the West Central Courtyard. The one east of
that (with four alleys) is the East Central Courtyard.
The three bars are marked on the Map. There is a Guards Quarters in the
center of the Map and your Exit Point is south of that. The Secretary is on
a float that slowly moves clockwise around the main street. The Partygoers
are the cloud of circles within the main street.
You will start out in the 1st Floor Lobby of the Hotel at the southwest
corner of the West Central Courtyard.
The Shops and Restaurants, 2nd Floor has three Point of Interests. The one
at the northwest corner is the Office where you can find Mark and the
SG552. The one at the southeast corner of the West Central Courtyard is a
balcony you can use to look out into the street but there is a Civilian
there that you can also push over.
The one at the southeast corner of the East Central Courtyard is another
window you can use to snipe Raymond if he is at the Salsa Club.
Your ICA Crate is located on the 2nd Floor of the Hotel. To the east of the
ICA Crate is a room where you can find a Waiter Outfit that you will be
using later.
There is only one Point of Interest on the Shops and Restaurants, 3rd Floor
and that is another window you can use to snipe Raymond if he appears at
the Rock Bar.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
When you start the mission then you will be inside a restaurant in the
lobby of the Hotel. You will also be looking at the backside of the
Delivery Guy, the red bird, as he talks to a friend. After the conversation
ends then the Delivery Guy will leave through the front door. Follow him
out the door. He will take one of three paths:
>>Southwest
*********
This means that he will go into the West Central Courtyard. Turn left
to go east then turn left again to enter the West Central Courtyard.
You may see a Cop as you enter the alley so keep away from him as you
proceed north. You will also see a Container just before you turn
left through the archway.
Position yourself at the southeast corner of the north alley that
leads to the street and look north. The Delivery Guy will head south
through this alley and stop in front of you. Sedate him, change into
the Delivery Guy Outfit, and drag him to the Container for disposal.
However, on rare occasions, the Cop that patrols this Courtyard may
enter the south alley just as you are disposing of the Delivery Guy
and attack you. Restart if this happens.
If the Delivery Guy heads east then he will head to the East Central
Courtyard. Run to the south entrance of the East Central Courtyard and look
west. The other two paths are as follows:
>>East (Path 1)
*************
He will head east and walk past you. Head north into the alley and
you will see a Container in the northeast corner of the Courtyard.
Stand about three feet to the west of the Container and look
northwest. He will eventually stand near if not in front of you.
Sedate him, change into the Delivery Guy Outfit, and drag him to the
Container for disposal.
>>East (Path 2)
*************
He will head southeast across the street and stop just southwest of
your position. Head north into the alley and to the Container. Stand
right at the southeast corner of the Container and look northeast. He
will then stand in front of you to take a piss. Sedate him, change
into the Delivery Guy Outfit, and drag him to the Container for
disposal.
After obtaining the Delivery Guy Outfit and grabbing the Diamonds Briefcase
then head to the Hideout at the northwest corner of the Streets and Back
Alleys area. There will be a Bird Guard standing watch over the front door.
Just walk past him into the Hideout and he will tell you to go upstairs.
When you get inside then turn left to find the spiral stairs.
Go up to the top of the stairs and stop. One of the Bird Guards goes
between the top of the stairs and the Office. Stand near where he stands
when he goes to the Office. When he stops in front of you and you hear the
door close then Sedate him.
Drag him to the door then turn right and head to the dresser. Drop him
here, grab his MP9, then change into the Bird Guard Outfit. Then grab the
Diamonds Briefcase and drop it by the body.
Prep your Fiber Wire and enter the Office. Here you should see Mark walk
around the room. You will also see the SG552 propped against the desk. Go
behind the desk chair and stand behind it. When Mark sits down then Wire
him. Grab the Walkie Talkie (to make Raymond and Angelina appear on the
Map) and the Desert Eagle.
Now head downstairs to the first floor and to the large dresser. Stand at
the southwest corner of the dresser and look south at the main doors. When
the other Bird Guard you saw comes back here then he should stand in front
of you. Whip him then drag his body upstairs into the Office.
For safety's sake you may also want to drag the other Bird Guard into the
Office as well. Then grab the Diamonds Briefcase and drop it off here too.
Head to the door at the northeast corner of the first floor. Head through
that door then through the next one (near the TV) to enter the back
courtyard of the Hideout.
Head east past the archway and you will see a Container. You may also see a
Bird Guard here as well. If he is not here then step to the north of the
archway after you pass it then wait for him. When he stops then Sneak
behind him and Whip him. But *DON'T* put him in the Container yet.
Just to the north is a Weapons Crate. Store your MP9 in the Crate then grab
another MP9 from the Bird Guard and dispose of him in the Container. Head
to the alley that leads to the street but stand at the northeast corner and
out of view. Look south and wait.
Eventually another Bird Guard will head north into the alley but then turn
around and head back out. When he gets out of view then walk to the metal
hatch on the ground next to you and drop your MP9 here. Now head back
inside the Hideout, stand at the Weapons Box, and clean it out. Prep either
your Desert Eagle or MP9 while you are waiting.
The patrolling Bird Guard will find the MP9 and will return it to the
Weapons Box. When he bends down then Whip him.
With the Hideout cleared of all Bird Guards (except the one at the front
door) then go upstairs to grab the SG552, Holster it, get the Diamonds
Briefcase, and go back to the Weapons Crate. Store the SG552 in the Weapons
Crate and drop the Diamonds Briefcase next to it.
Leave the Diamonds Briefcase here for now. I will go after Angelina before
taking the Briefcase from the Hideout area. Head outside to the alley and
stop at the south end. Look across the street to find the north alleyway
for the West Courtyard. Head south through this alley to enter the
Courtyard.
At the southwest corner of the Courtyard you should see a large Piano
overhead. The Winch for that is high up to the south. At the east side of
the courtyard is a cage you can climb to gain access to the Winch. Head to
the northeast corner and head west along the walkway. You will also notice
two Civilians below but they won't do anything as you go above them.
Continue to the northwest corner then jump the Balcony going south. Follow
the way until you reach the Winch and Plant Bomb. Go back down the same way
you came and go to the south entrance of the Hideout Courtyard then stop
and look south across the street. Look at your Map to find Angelina. She
will be going around the city and stopping at many spots.
She will stop in the alley to the Blues Bar then head to the east side of
the East Central Courtyard. After that then she will head to the alley
entrance of the Salsa Bar and head back to the southwest corner of the East
Central Courtyard.
Then she will head north to the alley of the Rock Bar. From there, then she
will head to the West Courtyard to stand under the Piano. Then she will
head to the Blues Bar alley and the pattern repeats. Wait for her to be
near the Rock Bar alley before doing anything.
When she gets to that point then look out for a Cop that is either standing
at the street corner southeast of your position or heading to the alley
leading into the West Courtyard.
If he is standing at the street corner or is not visible then head into the
alley and stop at the south end just before entering the Courtyard itself.
Hug the west wall and drop the MP9 (you already have an MP9 stored so you
can lose this one). Then climb back up to the northeast corner, prep your
Detonator, go into 1st Person Mode, and look southwest.
The patrolling Cop will find the MP9 and then leave to put it into the
Weapons Box at the Guards Quarters. This will keep him out of your hair for
awhile. When Angelina appears in the Courtyard then wait for her to get
under the Piano then bring out your Detonator and Detonate. The Piano will
fall on and kill her in an Accident.
Go back into 3rd Person Mode and run down to her so you can grab the SLP
.40 .S. The Civilians have run out of the Courtyard to alert a Cop so they
won't see you do this.
Depending on how her body behaves when the Piano strikes her she may be
completely under it or bounced away. If she is not completely under the
Piano then she will eventually be discovered - but that won't negatively
affect your score because you killed her in an Accident.
If you're thinking "why not hide near the pipe leading up to the Sniping
Platform" then here's why you don't do that.
You see, if you hide behind the wall and then drop the Piano, it may fall
in such a way that you cannot get through the gaps at ether side of it and
you may be trapped. This will either cause you to restart from a save file
or restart altogether.
After killing Angelina and obtaining the SLP .40 .S then head back to the
Weapons Crate to grab the Diamonds Briefcase and head out through the
Hideout Courtyard to the street. Then head into the West Central Courtyard.
Go near the Container and look south to make sure that there is no Cop
coming through there.
When the coast is clear then climb up the pipe that leads to the second
floor balcony of the Hotel which is at the south side of the Courtyard.
Head along the balcony and Sneak through the open door. There is a person
sleeping on the bed and a Waiter Outfit on the floor.
Change into the Waiter Outfit then Sneak to the door, pick the lock, and go
into the hallway (there will be a couple making out but as long as you are
dressed as a Waiter then they will cause no problems). Head west and follow
the hallway to the room where your ICA Crate is and drop the Diamonds
Suitcase here. This will keep it safe until it is time to leave.
Now it is time to go after Raymond. While in this room then switch to
either your Fiber Wire or Poison. Look at your Map to find Raymond. He will
be in the upper floors of either the Rock Bar, Salsa Bar, or the Blues Bar.
The Waiter Outfit will allow you easy access to enter the clubs - you can't
enter them unless you are dressed as a patron or employee. You can also
just walk in through the front door - the Cops won't care as long as you
are appropriately dressed.
Here is how you approach Raymond in the three clubs (after going through
the front door of a bar):
>>Rock Bar
********
Head to the Kitchen/Restroom area and to the door that leads to the
stairs. However, the door is locked and needs to be picked. You need
to make sure that the Waiter, who may be standing at the northeast
corner of the room, to leave and for the Cook to be standing by the
Container before picking the lock.
When the coast is clear then Pick the Lock and head up. When you get
to the top of the stairs then look through the Keyhole of the next
door.
Raymond will have two different patrol patterns inside this room. He
will either go through the door in a north-south pattern (stopping by
the large dresser) or do an east-west pattern (stopping near the
debris). Pick the lock when the coast is clear then enter the room.
If he does the north-south pattern then Sneak to the dividing wall
with the debris then look towards the nearby dresser and wait for
Raymond to return. If he does the east-west pattern then Sneak to the
south end of the large dresser then wait for him to return. Then
Sneak up behind him and Wire/Poison him.
>>Salsa Bar
**********
Head into the Kitchen and right up the stairs. When you get to the
door that leads inside the next room then Sneak inside. Just inside
the door are a couple of boxes that you should hide behind as you
look west. Raymond will go outside then stand by the large light in
the middle of the room. When he stops by the light then Sneak up
behind him and Wire/Poison him.
>>Blues Bar
*********
Head into the Kitchen and through the door that leads to the stairs.
After going through the door then Toggle the Light Switch by the door
and hide in the Closet in the corner. You will see a couple head down
the stairs and back into the Kitchen. The woman will turn on the
light before leaving.
After that then head up the stairs and to the door. Then check your
Map. Raymond will do a northwest-southeast pattern within the room.
But, sometimes, he may stand at the northwest corner for a very long
time. And there is quite a long distance to him from the door which
makes it possible for him to turn around before you can reach him.
Fortunately, there is a Closet inside. Pick the Lock and Sneak to the
Closet if you feel you can make it there. After entering the Closet
then check your Map again. If he still hasn't moved or has moved to
the southeast end then moved back then head northeast to the south
side of the east dividing wall.
If he still hasn't moved or returned to the northwest end of his
patrol then Sneak up behind him and Wire/Poison him.
After killing Raymond then go back to your ICA Crate to retrieve the
Diamonds Briefcase and head to your Suit. Stand by the Suit but *DON'T*
switch back to it yet.
Look out for and wait for the patrolling Cop to go through the Courtyard
you are in before changing. After getting back into your Suit then head to
the Exit Point with the Diamonds Briefcase to successfully complete the
mission.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
For this mission I included ways to avoid being seen by the CCTV Cameras on
the Pier which will save you some work and how to acquire the CCTV Tape in
case you get caught by the CCTV Camera. There is also a Mystery Assassin in
this mission. You won't get anything additional for taking her down but
I've included an easy means of dealing with her should you want to confront
her anyways.
And I think that Lorne's mansion is one of the coolest mansions I have ever
seen in a vidgame.
If you've spent very little or nothing on upgrading then this is the
earliest you can get the "High Roller" Accomplishment on the Xbox 360 and
PS3 versions.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are nine levels to the map:
>>Main House - Terrace
>>Staff Terrace
>>Pier
>>Helipad
>>Studio Floor
>>Main House - 2nd Floor
>>Main House - 1st Floor
>>Staff Floor
>>Pier Inside
The Pier is where you start at and has your primary Exit Point along with
your ICA Crate. The Main House - Terrace is where you can find the glass
bottomed Jacuzzi and Chad himself. The Staff Terrace is where you can find
a Power Switch and see underneath the glass bottomed Jacuzzi. The Helipad
has a secondary Exit Point which is a helicopter.
The Studio Floor has three Points of Interests. The first one, to the
northeast, is where you can plant a mine to drop studio lights down onto
the floor below. The second Point of Interest, near the center, is where
you can find the incriminating Videotape. The last one, to the east, is
another Weapons Crate.
This is also where you can find Lorne wandering about between the Stage and
his Bedroom.
The Main House - 2nd Floor has a Guards Quarters (where you can find the
CCTV Tape) and one Point of Interest which is a rock ladder you can climb
to reach the roof.
The Main House - 1st Floor has two Points of Interests. The first one, to
the north, is a secret passage through a small waterfall. The second one,
to the south, is where you can find a bottle of Aphrodisiac.
The Staff Floor has two Point of Interests. The first one, on the left, is
where you can find the Waiter Outfit. The second one, on the right, is
where you can find a Weapons Crate. The Pier Inside Map has one Point of
Interest which is the the window that looks into the Guard Room.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
For this particular strategy a Pistol is required at the start. An SLP. 40
.S Pistol or Silenced Silverballer is highly recommended.
When you start the mission then you will be by your primary Exit Point on
the Pier. Head north onto the bridge and turn right when you get to the
end. Head to the nook where your ICA Crate is and quickly Prep your Pistol.
Leave the nook and continue east to the southeast corner of the Pier area
and you will find a Christmas Guard by the corner of the railing.
Stop just behind this Guard and against the railing then turn north. You
should find the wooden archway leading into the Pier Inside. Just above it
is the CCTV Camera which is doing a left-right sweep. Beyond the archway is
the window for the Guard Room. Rotate your camera and you should also see
the Christmas Guard inside.
You don't want to get too close to the archway or you may be seen by the
CCTV Camera. You can get past it without been caught but it requires
certain timing.
When the Guard turns right and leaves the window then look at the CCTV
Camera. When it sweeps almost all the way to the left then quickly run
alongside the railing and through the right side of the archway. If you do
this right then it will not see you.
It is important to note that the CCTV Camera and the Guard will not be
timed the same on each attempt. The Guard will be away from the window for
a short time and sometimes the CCTV Camera will not be in the right
position to make a clean run for the door before he comes back to the
window.
This may force you to make your move too soon and you will be caught before
the it is all the way to the left.
However, since it doesn't take you too much out of your way and that the
CCTV Tape isn't too hard to acquire, you can ignore the CCTV Camera and let
yourself be seen if you wish to do so. This will make it easier in dealing
with the Guard.
When you get past the archway then quickly get up the door, bring out your
Pistol, open the door, then Sneak inside. You should find the Guard
standing by a vending machine.
Sneak up behind him and Whip him then look southwest to find the big red
button that deactivates the Laser Sensor which is just outside the window.
Press the button to deactivate the Sensor then drag the Guard through the
door. The first Guard that you passed will be near the center of the Pier
area and out of view.
Drag the Guard through the deactivated Laser Sensor and to the Elevator.
Drop him here and grab his SLP .40 Pistol. This Pistol can be used in
acquiring the CCTV Tape.
The reason for dragging the Guard to the Elevator is that the first Guard
will come into the Guard Room from time to time so you can't leave the body
there. And this will be a good place to leave your Suit.
Switch into the Christmas Guard Outfit and Call the Elevator. While it is
coming down then head back into the Guard Shack, stand between the door and
the vending machine, and look south. The first Guard will eventually come
into this room. When he stops then Sneak up behind him and Whip him. Leave
the body - nobody else comes here.
Although the Christmas Guard Outfit is a good disguise it won't allow you
access to the upper floors where Lorne is located. For that you need a
Bodyguard Outfit. Thankfully, there is an easy way to acquire one.
Go back into the Elevator and enter it then take it up to the Staff Floor.
When the door opens then you will see two doors - one ahead of you and one
to the right. Take the one on the right to enter a Wine Cellar where you
will find a Bodyguard sitting in a chair. Get up behind him, listen for the
sound of the door that you came through closing, then Sedate him.
Then go and change into the Bodyguard Outfit. You will now be able to have
full access to everyplace in the Mansion. Go through the door at the
southwest corner of the Wine Cellar to enter the Break Room. You should see
a Guard sitting in a chair in the southwest corner of the next room.
There is another Guard that patrols this room and may be standing next to
the Weapons Box next to the vending machine. After entering the Break Room
then turn right and go through the next door into the stairwell. Turn left
after going through the door and go up the stairs. Continue going up then
go through the first door you get to which should lead you into the
Kitchen.
On one side of the Stove is a Sausage (you will also find another one
on the floor near a trash can). If everything has gone smoothly up to this
point then you will see the drunken Santa nearby. Stand by the Sausage and
wait for the drunken Santa to leave the Kitchen.
The Sausage is going to be used against Lorne's small dog. The Dog needs to
be knocked out before you can do anything to Lorne otherwise its running
around and yapping will attract Guards.
Killing the dog will not count against your score in any way so it is best
to Poison the Sausage and save the last of your Sedative. After Poisoning
the Sausage then pick it up, Prep the SLP .40 Pistol you got from the
Guard, and go through the door at the east side of the Kitchen.
Here you will see some filing cabinets to your right and a large sofa to
your left. Turn left to find some shelves next to the sofa. Here you will
find a bottle of Aphrodisiac. Pick it up then continue east and turn south
at the corner.
Go through the next door and you should see a fireplace to your left. The
door you came through is the Staff Only door. At this point, if you got
caught by the CCTV Camera, then you will need to do the following:
>>Acquiring the CCTV Tape
***********************
Right next to the Staff Only door you just came through is a set of
curved stairs leading up. When you get to the top then you should see
a pair of double doors to your right. Beyond these doors is a small
room just outside the Guard Quarters where the CCTV Tape is at.
There are two Guards to note here. One Guard goes between the two
desks within the room (I'll call him the Desk Guard). The second
Guard will come in through the south door, stand just inside the room
for awhile, then leave, go through the small room, and stand on the
Balcony outside (I'll call him the Patrolling Guard).
Because of the Desk Guard you cannot just walk in and take the CCTV
Tape - you'll blow your cover and get attacked. So, in order to
safely get the Tape, I will need to knock out both Guards.
When you go through the double doors then you will see the door
leading into the Guards Quarters to your right and the door to the
Balcony to your left. On the wall near the Guard Quarters door is a
large picture.
Stand by the picture and wait for the Patrolling Guard to go to the
Balcony. You cannot ambush him there - you will seen from below.
Therefore you need to ambush him inside. It is best to use the
Sedative but you can still Whip him if you wish.
After the Guard gets onto the Balcony then bring out the Pistol and
drop it in front of the picture then back away a couple of steps
towards the Balcony and quickly Prep the Sedative or your other
Pistol. When the Guard comes over to pick up the Pistol then Sedate
or Whip him.
Prep your Pistol then stand by the door and open it. Then stand just
inside the doorway, to keep the door open, and observe the Desk
Guard.
Wait for the Desk Guard to move to either of the two desks then Sneak
in and Whip him. Then go over and acquire the CCTV Tape. Go back out
and drag the first Guard into the Guards Quarters (so he isn't seen
by any other Guard as you leave the area). After that then retrace
your way back down to the Staff Only door.
From the Staff Only door then continue south and turn left at the corner
then turn left again to enter the main Bar area. Continue forward through
the Bar area and into the hallway that has the flashing heart above it.
This leads into the VIP Area. After you go through the hallway then you
will enter into a large indoor patio area.
Continue northwest and you will find a door with a couple of Guards posted.
Go though the door and into the Elevator ahead.
It should be noted that they won't allow Christmas Guards past this door.
This is where the Bodyguard Outfit comes in. Take the Elevator up to the
Studio Floor. Check your Map to see where Lorne is at. He can either be at
the Studio (on the east side of the floor) or on the Balcony to his Bedroom
(at the southwest corner of the floor).
It is best that he be in the Studio so you can set things up. Head to his
bedroom then drop the Sausage just inside the door (and Prep a Pistol).
Then head to the Balcony. Hang near the west set of doors and wait for
Lorne to come to the Balcony. As he is walking to the Balcony then his dog
will eat the Poisoned Sausage and will be out of action by the time it gets
to the door leading outside.
Wait for Lorne to stop at the railing then Sneak up to him and push him
over. Although there may be Guards down below they can't see you because of
the angle and that you are crouched when you are Sneaking.
After killing off Lorne I now need to go after the Videotape. And to safely
do that I need to knock out some Guards first. There are three Guards on
this floor. One is inside the room where the Videotape is and goes
east-west within the room.
Another has three stops in his patrol pattern. One stop is inside the
Studio (and goes through the room with the Videotape to get there), another
is inside the hallway with the Elevator, and the last stop is right by the
Bedroom door.
The last Guard goes between the Studio and the end of the hallway west of
the Weapons Crate. It should be noted that if you still need a TMP then you
can Sneak up and Whip him at the end of his route in the hallway after you
acquire the Videotape.
Head to the hallway where the Elevator is and stand between the two
pictures while looking at the Elevator. The Guard will eventually pass you
by and stop just ahead of you. Sneak up to him and Whip him. Leave the body
- Lorne is the only other person to go through this room and he is already
dead at this point in the mission.
From here, head south and turn left to find the door that goes into the
room with the Videotape. Open the door and Nudge forward a little to keep
it open. If you see the Guard when you open the door then wait for him to
leave and return before doing anything. The last thing you want to do is
have him turn around while you are Sneaking up on him so it is best to
wait.
When he gets back then Sneak up on him and Whip him. Leave the body and go
get the Videotape which is on the desk to the south with two active
monitors. After acquiring the Videotape then it is time to go after Chad.
Go back to the Elevator and down to the 1st Floor. Then head back to the
Bar area. When you get here look out for a Martini Glass at the corner.
This Martini Glass is what is being served to Chad. If it is not here when
you get to the Bar then you will have to leave.
The reason for this is that, on Professional difficulty, you will cause
your Threat Meter to creep up if you stand around the Bar and wait. Best
thing to do is go out the south door and stand by the railing. Then look
left to find the Jacuzzi, with Chad, and the Waiter. When the Waiter walks
past then simply follow him back to the Bar.
You should also see a prompt to Add Aphrodisiac when you approach the
Martini Glass. Go ahead and Add Aphrodisiac - even though there are tons of
people, including Guards, in the Bar nobody will care, even the Bartender
who is looking right at you.
After that then head back into the VIP Area. Just past the end of the
hallway turn right to find the door that leads into the Grotto area. After
going through the door then head north where you will find a small
waterfall in the next corner. Turn east at this corner and go through the
set of double doors.
Here you will find a couple making out in the hallway. One of them is the
Mystery Assassin who is female:
>>The Mystery Assassin
********************
As noted, there is absolutely nothing to gain by killing her.
However, if you insist on facing her then here is the way to do it.
When the couple breaks up then follow her into the room. Then a short
cutscene will play. After the cutscene then she will be behind you.
If you do not do anything then another cutscene will play in which
she will kill you.
You also cannot kill her before the first cutscene plays. She is a
Civilian until the cutscene plays then, after it, she will become a
Target. You have to kill her before the second cutscene. But, as
noted, she will be behind you.
However, the camera will be looking at her. So, *IMMEDIATELY* after
the first cutscene ends then go into 1st Person Mode which will
instantly turn you around to look at her ugly face. Then quickly
Punch her out. She will be pulling out a gun and your cover will be
blown as you hit her. After she finishes pulling out the gun then she
will fall against the sofa.
Then Poison her mangy unconscious ass and be done with it. Don't
worry about the blown cover - it won't count since you killed her. It
is one of the few times you can blow your cover and not get punished
for it.
After killing her then go back into 3rd Person Mode, head to the
door, and look through the Keyhole. Wait for the Bodyguard that
patrols this hallway to walk right or left past the Keyhole before
leaving the room.
Now put yourself in the northeast corner of this hallway and wait. Chad
will eventually be served the spiked drink then leave with a female
companion. He will walk past you and enter a room to the south of you. Wait
for him to enter and for the door to close.
Then wait about five seconds, open the door, and let him see you. He will
then get up and leave since you performed what could be considered, in this
game anyway, "coitus interruptus" on him.
As he is getting up then head south through the door and run down the
stairs ahead of Chad. Eventually you will get to a Balcony which is part of
the Staff Terrace floor. Stand at the southwest corner and wait. When Chad
stops at this corner then push him over. This will take care of your last
objective other than escaping.
After killing Chad then go to the north side of the Balcony. You can jump
over the railing and onto a ledge. Head west along the ledge. This ledge
leads to the other side of the Staff Terrace floor. Don't worry about the
bats you stir up along the way.
When you jump over the railing at the other end of the ledge then go
through the doors leading inside to the Staff Floor area and to the
Elevator that goes back down to the Pier. When you get back down then
switch back into your Suit.
Then go back to the archway and stop. You will need to dodge the CCTV
Camera again. Stand at the left side of the archway and look up to find it.
When it sweeps right and stops then run out and along the railing. If you
do this right then you will not get caught by it.
Another option, and the main reason for bringing a silenced weapon, is to
shoot it then leave. If you got caught and had to get the CCTV Tape then
just walk through the archway.
After safely getting past the CCTV Camera then head to the Exit Point to
successfully complete the mission.

The date: January 12, 2005.
47's next mission takes him to Mississippi. He is to shut down a gang known
as the Gators. The Gators handle the distribution of drugs up and down the
Mississippi River. They use a riverboat as their means of moving the
merchandise.
47 is to eliminate the six Gator members and their boss, Skip Muldoon. He
is also to retrieve any documents in Skip's safe which is on the upper
deck. The upper decks of the riverboat are exclusive to the Gators and are
off-limits. Of course, that means little to a professional like 47.....

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
This was a tough level to figure out because of all of the Targets and
Pistolwhipping needed to ensure a clean Silent Assassin run. The most
popular method of getting rid of the Gator on the third floor is by pushing
him into the river near the beginning of the mission. But I decided on a
different approach and saved him for last.
One of the irritating things I found at Expert and Professional difficulty
was that you could get your Threat Meter in the yellow if you wore the
Sailor Outfit in certain areas. But I discovered that if you wore the
absolute correct outfit for these areas then you can keep your Threat Meter
under control.
One interesting thing to note that, if you wear the Sailor Outfit and try
to go up to the VIP Area, then you will be searched by another Sailor. I
wonder why that is?
Finally, all the Gators will be numbered in the order they will be
dispatched.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are five levels to the map:
>>5th Deck, Gators Private Deck
>>4th Deck, Restaurant Deck
>>3rd Deck, Cabin Deck
>>2nd Deck, Staff Quarters
>>1st Deck, Engine Room
The Engine Room deck is where you start and also has your Exit Point. You
will start off on the north end and you must make your way through the
normally off-limits Staff Quarters deck to get to the Exit Point which is
at the south end.
Your ICA Crate is in a small room not far from where you start. The Engine
Room is at the center of the map.
The Staff Quarters has two Point of Interests. The north one is where you
can find a key to the Engine Room. The second is the Weapons Room where you
can find the FN-2000 rifle.
The Cabin Deck has no Points of Interests but you can find one of the
Gators standing in the Main Hallway. The VIP Rooms are to the south along
with the stairs leading up to the VIP Area. The stairs leading down to the
Staff Quarters are at the east central side of this map.
The Restaurant Deck has two Points of Interests. The north one is where you
can find the Cake you can use against Skip. The south one is where you can
find a Weapons Crate.
The Gators Private Deck is where you can find one Point of Interest which
is the Safe where the Pictures are kept. Skip and three Gators can be found
on this floor.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
When you start the mission then you will be on the north end of the 1st
Deck facing the main stairs leading up to the 3rd Deck. Go southeast past
the pillars then angle south and go past the Power Switch. When you get
past the Power Switch then angle southwest to find the door that leads into
the Engine Room. Directly north of it is a large group of crates.
Quickly Pick the Lock then stand by these crates, look directly at the
door, and Prep your Poison. After awhile Gator #1 will appear and will go
through this door. When he opens the door then bring out your Poison and
run towards him as he goes through it.
When you catch up to him then quickly Poison him. Then drag him behind one
of the two nearby boilers and grab his Bull .480 (you'll need it). Then go
back outside and head back to where you started.
From here, run up the stairs and turn right at the next platform then go up
the rest of the stairs. When you get to the top then run left and go south
along the side of the boat. Run until you get to a door then go through it.
You will be in the middle of the boat at this point.
Continue forward and turn right at the corner to go south along the Main
Hallway here on the Cabin Deck. Run through the set of double doors to
enter the VIP Rooms area. Continue forward and turn left at the next
corner.
If you are in the right place then you should see a Restroom. Go into the
Restroom and enter the first stall on your right. Stand in front of the
toilet but stay just far back to keep the door open. If you get close
enough to the toilet and let the door close then you may be pushed out of
position later.
When you are in position and waiting then Prep the Bull .480. Shortly after
you enter the stall then a Purser will go into this stall and take a piss.
When he starts pissing then Grab him and move him off to the right then
Whip him, exit the stall, and close the door. This will prevent him from
becoming a problem for the next step in this mission.
Now go into the other stall and stand by the toilet but staying just far
back to keep the door open. After awhile a Sailor will enter the Restroom
and use this stall. Grab him, move him off to the left, then Whip him and
change into the Sailor Outfit.
After changing into the Sailor Outfit then go back into the other stall and
grab the Master Keycard from the unconscious Purser.
Exit the Restroom and go through the Staff Only door directly west of your
position. Ahead of you is a White Trellis that can be climbed up to the 4th
Deck. At the top of the Trellis is the west end of a curved walkway that
goes around the south end of the boat. It also has the stairs that go up to
the 5th Deck and a Weapons Crate that sits underneath them.
Gator #2 also patrols this deck. He will go from the Galley on the west
side, stop by the railing just underneath the stairs, head into the VIP
Area at the east side, then go back to the Galley.
You cannot be seen climbing the Trellis but, once you are on top, then you
won't have any problems. However, as you climb, look up and north. You will
see part of the 5th Deck and may spot a 1st Class Purser or one of the
other Gators. As long as he is standing still or out of view then you
should be okay.
A major reason for climbing the Trellis is because if you went up the
stairs leading up to the VIP Area then you will be searched and suspicions
may be raised, especially at the higher difficulty levels. Climbing the
Trellis to access the 4th Deck will allow you to safely bypass that.
After you climb up to the 4th Deck then go into the nearby corner and look
south down the walkway. Eventually you will see Gator #2 head in your
direction then go through a door into the Galley. You should be too far
away, even at Professional difficulty, to spook him. When he goes inside
the Galley then head forward but stop by the life preserver.
When he exits then wait a couple of seconds and proceed forward and close
the door. Continue forward and follow him but not too closely. Eventually
you will find the stairs leading up and a Weapons Crate underneath. Gator
#2 will stop to smoke for a bit.
When you get to the stairs then Sneak under the stairs and continue towards
his back. As you get close to him then bring out your Pistol and Grab him
but *DON'T* push him over. Instead, sidestep left just past the pole then
Drop Body (which will throw him over the railing).
Why do this? Because if you just push him over then he will land on the
Engine Room deck by the Exit Point. The body may be found by either a
Sailor or Purser down there. By Grabbing him and moving him to the left
past the pole then he will land in the water instead allowing for easier
disposal.
In addition, although you could stand underneath the stairs and ambush him
when he stops, it is not recommended at Professional difficulty. More than
likely he will just turn to look at you instead which will make it very
difficult or impossible to ambush him properly. That is why it is best to
Sneak up behind him this way.
After killing Gator #2 then place the Bull .480 in the nearby Weapons Crate
as you will not need it for the rest of the mission. You should also Prep
the Sedative. The reason for that is because there is something I am going
to do which will make things easier on the upper deck.
And that will be ambushing the 1st Class Purser that goes between the 5th
Deck and to the Kitchen. He provides Burgers to the Gators up there and
will leave when the plate is empty. Ambushing him will make things easier
later.
At this point in the mission he can either be on the 5th Deck or in the
Kitchen on the 4th Deck. At Professional difficulty then he will be on the
5th Deck.
The reason for this is that at the higher difficulty levels his patrol is a
little more frequent, sometimes leaving without the plate, and thus his
timing is different. There are two ways to go about ambushing him depending
on where he is:
>>Kitchen
*******
Head along the east side of the 4th Deck and you will find the door
that leads inside the VIP Area. Stand at the end of the walkway up
against the north wall and look south so the door is to your right.
When the Purser goes through the door then close the door and follow
him.
Pull out your Sedative and run to catch up to him. Sedate him in
mid-stride and drag his body to the Weapons Crate. The reason for
this is that there is a Guard just below and he may see you if you
try to change into the 1st Class Purser Outfit.
Dragging the body to the Crate immediately after the ambush will keep
him from getting involved.
>>5th Deck
********
Head up the east set of stairs to the 5th Deck, stop when you get
near the top, and look north. You should see a bench and a brown door
above it. You will also see some Gators going in and out of the door.
When you finally see the 1st Class Purser go through the door then
quickly go back down then stop next to the stairs between the second
and third post for the stair-rail. Then enter Sneak Mode and wait.
When the Purser walks past you then Sneak forward.
Get directly behind him, bring out the Sedative, then get out of
Sneak Mode and run up behind him so you can Sedate him before he gets
too far. The reason for doing it this way is because he is very
sensitive at higher difficulty levels and will stop and turn around
if you don't Sneak up on him first. After ambushing him then drag him
to the Weapons Crate.
When you get him to the Weapons Crate then change into the 1st Class Purser
Outfit and head along the west side of the deck to enter the Galley. Pick
the Cake up from the nearby table then head back to the Weapons Crate. Drop
the Cake then Poison it and pick it back up. From here, head up to the 5th
Deck.
When you get to the top of the stairs then head north towards the door to
find Gator #5 standing guard. He will stop you so you can be searched. This
is why you needed to get rid of the Bull .480. After being searched then go
through the door. You will be in a small hallway with two doors. Go through
the one on the left to enter the Restroom.
Go to the southwest corner and drop the Cake, stand in front of the toilet,
Prep your Fiber Wire, and wait. In addition to Gator #5 by the door there
are two additional Gators patrolling the Private Deck.
Gator #4 will go through the main Recreation Room and head north into
Skip's Office area. Then he will head through the Bedroom and go outside.
Then he will head south, stop at the southeast corner of the building for
awhile, then head back inside.
Gator #3 will patrol the east side of the building then go inside. He will
stand inside the Recreation Room for a bit then head into the Restroom
before heading back outside. Skip himself will go inside the Bathroom to
the east, back into the Office, go into the Bedroom, then outside before
going back inside.
When Gator #3 goes to use the Restroom then Wire him when he stands at the
toilet. Leave the body since nobody else goes in here. Now go into the
Recreation Room.
Since you knocked out the 1st Class Purser this will make it easier to get
rid of Gator #4. Make sure that Gator #4 isn't in the Recreation Room then
go to the Light Switch to the south side of the room, turn it off, back up
just a little, then Prep the Fiber Wire.
When Gator #4 re-enters the Recreation Room then he will turn the lights
back on. As he is trying to do so then quickly bring out your Fiber Wire
and kill him. Then drag his body into the Restroom just to be safe. Turn
the lights back on if you killed him before he toggled the switch.
From here, head back out past Gator #5, get close to the thin pillars, then
turn around and head to the stained glass window for the Restroom. Stop
here and look east towards Gator #5. Wait for him to stand with his back to
you then Sneak up and Wire him. You can either leave the body or drag him
inside.
If you want the Shotgun then grab it and place it inside the Weapons Crate.
Just to be safe you should use the east set of stairs going down because of
the 1st Class Purser at the west side of the deck.
Go back inside and retrieve the Cake. Head to the door leading into Skip's
Office, stand to the left, and open the door. Make sure that Skip's "bitch"
(as it's stated in the Target Info) is in the Bathroom before entering.
Place the Cake on the desk and leave the room. Stand by the door and wait.
Skip will eventually sample the Cake and die shortly thereafter.
Go back inside the Office and drag his body into the northwest corner of
the Recreation Room (to make sure it isn't found by the "bitch" if he
somehow leaves the Bathroom). Grab the Desert Eagle from Skip, as it will
be your new Pistolwhipping weapon, then head into the Bedroom and open the
Safe to Retrieve the Pictures.
After that then leave and head down to the 4th Deck. Instead of going down
the Trellis I am going through the VIP Area. Head along the east side of
the deck and go through the door at the end. You should see the stairs
leading down and with the Sailor that would search you standing at the top.
Just walk past him and head down to the 3rd Deck. Since you're going down
and not up then they will not cause any problems. I still need to go after
Gator #6 but I am going to clear the way to the Exit Point first so I can
safely get to it in my Suit and acquire a new weapon in the process.
Head north past the Restrooms where your Suit still is and through the
double doors going into the Main Hallway. Ahead of you, past the hallway
junction, is Gator #6 and his Girlfriend enjoying themselves. They won't
break up unless you approach them. I prefer to leave them this way until I
want them to break up.
This is also why I went on the walkway alongside the boat instead of going
through the Main Hallway near the beginning of this mission - so I wouldn't
break them up too soon.
When you get to the hallway junction then take a right and head for the
door leading outside. Right by the door is the stairs going down to the
Staff Quarters. Go down the stairs and through the Staff Only door. Since
you are already dressed as a 1st Class Purser then you should have no
problems.
Just right after you enter you should see a door to your left. Go through
it and you should see a Closet at the north side of the room. Stand five
feet from the Closet and look north at the right side of it. Eventually an
Engineer will come into the room and stand in front of you. Whip him when
he does.
He goes between the Engine Room and this room and getting rid of him will
make for one less person in the hallways. Change into his Outfit which will
make it easier on you when you are down near the Engine Room.
At Professional difficulty, if you go down there in any other Outfit then
your Threat Meter can creep up pretty quickly if you are looked at too long
by any Sailor or Engineer inside the Engine Room area.
After acquiring the Engineer Outfit then leave the room and turn left to
find the main hallway on this floor. Proceed south until you see two
Sailors come out to meet in the hallway and then go back around the corner
and out of view.
Wait until you see them break up before proceeding. On rare occasions if
you pass them by when they are in the hallway they may get stuck, meaning
that they remain in the hallway, and force you to either reload from a
saved game or restart. By staying back then you can prevent this and make
sure they break up.
After they return to their respective rooms then head south down the
hallway. On the wall to your right, as you proceed, you will find two
doors. The first door is the Weapons Room. We'll come back here later. The
second door, and the one to go through, is the Locker Room. The room will
be dark but leave the lights off.
Head to the north to find some lockers. You will also find a Purser Outfit
laying on a bench. Stand between the Purser Outfit and the partially open
locker while looking west. Eventually another Sailor will enter this room
and stand in front of you at the end of his route.
Whip him and leave the body. This will make for one less person wandering
the Staff Quarters deck. You can also take his Snub Nosed Pistol if you
want. Leave the Locker Room and turn right to go back south.
At the junction, turn left and proceed through the next door. This will
lead you to the stairs down to the Engine Room deck. Go down the stairs and
turn 180-degrees to find the next door. Go through the door to enter a
T-shaped room. Hug the wall to your left, go to the middle of this room,
then stand and look north while in 1st Person Mode.
A Sailor will eventually come into this room. If you wore a different
Outfit then your Threat Meter will rapidly increase as he approches. The
Engineer Outfit will keep that in check. He will stop in one of two places
within this room. When he stops then sidestep to get behind him then Sneak
up and Whip him. Then head to the west door. Go through it and stop.
Near the top of the door is a light. Head south along the wall and stop
when you get to the *FIFTH* light then look south. Eventually a Purser will
come and stop by the railing. Sneak up behind him and Whip him.
And, by Whipping this Purser, then you have also eliminated the last person
that roams the Staff Quarters and the south end of the Engine Room deck.
This completely clears the way for you to safely come back down later with
your Suit.
I still need to change into the Purser Outfit to safely get at Gator #6.
But I'm not going to do that yet. There are a couple of things I am going
to do first.
Head back up into the Staff Quarters and to the door of the Weapons Room.
Look through the Keyhole. You should see the back of a Sailor looking at a
wall. Sneak through the door, get up behind him, and Whip him. You should
see a FN-2000 on a nearby table with a Rifle Suitcase on the floor. Leave
that for now.
Go back up to the Restroom and change back into your Suit. Then go back
down to the Staff Quarters. The thing here is that, even though you can be
seen heading down the stairs by Sailors and Civilians, nobody will say
anything unless they see you go through the Staff Only door at the bottom
of the stairs which is unseen from above.
But this is not a problem since you have taken down the only two people who
either go through or near this door (the Sailor you ambushed in the Locker
Room and the Engineer). When you get back down then go into the Weapons
Room. Grab the FN-2000 and the Rifle Suitcase (to put it in) then go back
down to the unconscious Purser.
Switch into the Purser Outfit which will also drop the Rifle Suitcase. By
doing this I have now placed the FN-2000 and the Suit very close to the
Exit Point. Now it is time to go after Gator #6.
From here, head up to the Cabin Deck and approach Gator #6. Both him and
his Girlfriend will go into the nearby room. Go up against the opposite
wall and look at the door. After a short conversation then the Girlfriend
will leave.
Wait a few seconds then go through the open door, take a couple of steps,
and stop. If you wait too long and the door closes then use the Master
Keycard you obtained earlier to open the door. When the door closes then
Sneak up behind him and Wire him. Then quickly leave the room and close the
door. From here, run back to the Staff Quarters.
When you get down here then run to your Suit, change back, and grab the
FN-2000 then run to the Exit Point to successfully complete the mission and
before the Girlfriend finds the body of Gator #6.

++Notes
*****
There are two new weapons here and both can be easily obtained.
However, if you want the Elephant Rifle, you will need to play the
level again but only after acquiring a Silent Assassin rating first.
The reason is that, even though nobody will freak out if you are seen
with the Elephant Rifle, you will create a lot of Witnesses as you
travel to the ICA Crate to store it which will greatly impact your
rating.
But this can be used to your advantage if you are playing the Xbox 360
and PS3 versions. You can use this quirk to get lots of Notoriety
safely and easily for one of the Accomplishments:
>>"Notorious" Accomplishment (Part 1)
***********************************
It is best to do this on the Normal difficulty level on your
initial attempt since you will need to do a lot of killing in the
next mission.
Do the mission as instructed but with the following changes:
After you obtain the Priest Outfit then head to the base of the
spiral staircase south of the Kitchen door. You need to have the
Gangmember Outfit to properly acquire the Elephant Rifle safely.
From the bottom of the spiral staircase, head north back into the
Kitchen and turn right. Go through the next door and go through
the door to your left that goes outside.
When you get outside then head east towards the Boat House. It is
okay to go through here since this is how the Priest arrived. Go
through the double doors and turn right. Continue forward and
turn left at the corner. Continue forward and stop near the next
doorway. You may see a Gangmember at the northeast corner near
the boat through the doorway.
Wait for him to leave then head to the northeast corner, stand up
against the chain, and look south towards the boat. When he comes
back here then Whip him. Leave the body, change into the
Gangmember Outfit, and retrace your way back to the spiral
staircase inside the Mansion.
Proceed through the rest of the mission as written and kill both
the Groom and Pappy. After killing Pappy then grab the Elephant
Rifle off of the wall nearby.
From here then you need to be seen by as many people as possible
before leaving with the weapon. Go *EVERYWHERE* in and around the
Mansion grounds. This will ensure that you get as many Witnesses
as possible. When you have done this then finish the mission -
don't worry about your Suit.
If you still need a Shotgun for your weapons collection then go
to the ICA Crate to store the Elephant Rifle. Then go to the
platform where the Guests are shooting at the Alligators. Wait
for one of them to place the Shotgun on one of the crates. Grab
it then head to your Exit Point.
You can safely get up to 62 Notoriety points by doing this (I've
gotten 77 Witnesses during one attempt). Then max out the rest of
your Notoriety Rating by Rampaging your way through the next
mission, "A House of Cards".
0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
Compared to the last mission this one was a breeze. However, it was very
frustrating at first. No matter what I was doing I kept getting lots of
Witnesses (anywhere from 12 to 23). After doing some research on Google I
found that it was because of the Elephant Rifle.
My initial strategy included always obtaining the Elephant Rifle. And, by
walking towards the ICA Crate, I was unknowingly creating Witnesses. The
game states that the people aren't going to be alarmed if you are seen with
a weapon but didn't say that you would create problems for your rating.
After playing one time without obtaining either the Elephant Rifle and/or
Shotgun I earned an easy Silent Assassin rating.
Most people tend to Poison the Wedding Cake to kill the Groom but I prefer
to drop a Chandelier on him. Less risky if done correctly. I also prefer to
kill Pappy inside his room rather than risk being seen outside trying to do
him in.
One final thing - depending on what version of the game you have the Groom
can either be just the "Groom" or "Buddy Muldoon". For this walkthrough I
will just use the "Groom" name.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are four levels to the map:
>>Mansion, Attic
>>Mansion, 2nd Floor
>>Mansion, 1st Floor
>>Outside
The Outside Map is where you start and you will be next to your primary
Exit Point which is at the south end of the Map. A secondary Exit Point is
at the Boat House at the northeast side.
The only Point of Interest is the Wedding Bell just south of the Mansion.
There is also a Guards Quarters at the northwest side near the Family
Graves.
The 1st Floor has nothing of interest but has the Greenhouse, to the west,
and the Reception Area, to the north. The 2nd Floor also has nothing of
interest but has a Guards Quarters at the northeast corner. Pappy's room is
near the southwest corner of this floor.
The Attic has a Power Switch and three Point of Interests. These are the
Winches that you can use to drop Chandeliers onto the 1st Floor when
properly mined.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
When you start the mission then you will be right next to your Exit Point
and looking out towards a platform with several Guests shooting at
Alligators. Proceed forward and follow the walkway until you can head north
onto the Mansion grounds.
When you get onto the grass then look to your left to find a drunken Guest
staggering around. He is heading to the burned out building you passed on
your way to the grounds. Turn left to find a bridge going into the burned
out building. Go south into the building and wait at the northeast corner.
Eventually the drunken Guest will stagger his way inside.
Then he will sit down and pass out. Go up to him and change into the Guest
Outfit, pick up the Six Shooter (for your weapons collection), and the very
important Party Invitation. You won't be allowed in without it regardless
of Outfit.
After this then speed walk north past the dance floor and through the main
entrance of the Mansion. You should see the main stairs leading up. To the
right of the stairs you may find the Bride standing there. Head north along
the right side of the stairs and turn right at the corner. Ahead of you you
should see a door marked Private. This is the Kitchen.
Now comes the trickiest part of this mission. The timing can be random
between certain Guests, the Priest, the Waiter (that goes into the Kitchen
and the Reception Area), the secondary Waiter (who goes between the Boat
House and the Kitchen), and the Groom.
You need to go through the Kitchen and to the room to the south without
being seen. Usually, you will encounter the Groom just as he leaves the
Kitchen or just before he leaves. The Priest has just gone ahead of you
through the Kitchen and to the south room. Both Waiters are well outside of
the Kitchen.
When the Groom passes you by then look behind you to make sure that the
coast is clear. You also need to look out for Guests heading to and from
the Restroom at the west side of the floor.
When everything is good then go through the Kitchen and through the next
door on your right. Just as you step through the door then immediately
stop. Look to the east to find another door. If your timing is good then
you may find it open. This is because there is a Gangmember that opens this
door from time to time.
By standing in the doorway then you can't be seen by him. After the door
closes then turn west and follow the corner. You should see two doors - one
to the west (which is another Private door) and one to the south. Open the
south door and Sneak inside.
If everything has gone well then you should see the Priest standing inside
this room enjoying a quick drink. If not then go into the Walk-In Closet at
the north side of the room, close the doors, and look through the Keyhole.
When he is in the room then Sneak up behind him and Whip him. Change into
the Priest Outfit and leave the body.
It should be noted that, if he is not in the room and you hide in the
closet and you have waited a long time, then it is because the Priest has
become stuck inside the Reception Room and won't come to you. Restart if
this happens - thankfully this problem is very rare (only happened once on
the PS2 version).
The Priest Outfit will give you more access around the Mansion but not
everywhere. In addition, by knocking out the Priest, then you have also
prevented the wedding ceremony from taking place. Of course, if you want,
you can perform the ceremony yourself for some additional fun.
From here, head to the bottom of the spiral staircase just south of the
Kitchen door. Go up the spiral staircase then head up all the way to the
Attic. As noted there are three Winches that you can sabotage - two to the
north and one to the south.
The one you want to mine is the one at the *NORTHWEST*. After planting the
Mine then head to the spiral staircase at the west side of the floor and
head down to the 2nd Floor. When you get to the 2nd Floor then head west
towards a door that leads outside. As you get to it then you should see a
door to your left.
Pick the Lock of this door and you should enter an L-shaped room. Go
forward to the next door and stop. Check your Map to look for your Targets.
The Groom will go outside to the front of the Mansion and shoot some
bullets in the air, go back inside and to the Kitchen to sample the Wedding
Cake, then into the Reception Room to play the Piano before heading back
outside.
Pappy will start from his room, go downstairs to the Greenhouse, then go
outside to the Family Graves before heading back inside and to his room. If
you are wearing the Priest Outfit at this point then Pappy should be
walking past the Guards Quarters towards the Family Graves. Walk into
Pappy's room to find a Walk-In Closet and a regular Closet.
Go inside the Walk-In Closet, pull out your Detonator, and look at your Map
for the Groom. When he stops at the Piano (at the northwest side of the
Reception Room) then Detonate the Mine and the Chandelier will come
crashing down on him, killing him and creating an Accident.
At this point everybody will go nuts trying to find out what happened (and
your Threat Meter will go yellow). After about a minute then bring out your
Fiber Wire and go into the regular Closet. You cannot ambush Pappy from the
Walk-In Closet - he will see you.
Eventually, as Pappy does his thing and slowly heads back to the Mansion,
then things will calm down (in essence he becomes a timer to let you know
when things are good again). By the time Pappy sits back down in his chair
then things will completely calm down and your Threat Meter should be back
down to nothing.
If, by chance your Threat Meter is still yellow when Pappy returns to his
room, this is more than likely because a Guest has become stuck somewhere
on the Map. This will *NOT* negatively affect your score so don't sweat it.
On the Original Xbox version the Threat Meter will stay yellow until you
leave the Mansion.
When Pappy returns to his chair then get out of the Closet, Sneak up behind
him, and Wire him. After killing Pappy then head back up to the Attic the
same you way came then go back down the east stairs and to the 1st Floor.
Then head west and towards the Private door you passed by earlier.
Pick the Lock and you will exit near the main stairs. Go out through the
main doors and back to your Suit. After you change into your Suit then head
to your primary Exit Point to successfully complete the mission.

0=======================================================>
The date: June 9, 2005.
47 now finds himself in Las Vegas. For this mission he is take down a trio
of Targets.
The first is Sheikh Al-Khalifa who is buying DNA specimens from another
Target, a South Afrikaner named Hendrik Schmutz. The third Target is a
Scientist, Tariq Abdul Lateef, who will verify the merchandise before
payment is rendered.
The deal is going down at one of the Sheik's Casinos, the Shamal. It is
under heavy security so it will take some doing for 47 to accomplish his
goals.

to the TMP you will also find an RU-AP Mine and Sniper Ammo within the
ICA Crate.
0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
An interesting mission to say the least. There are many different ways to
go after your Targets.
The easiest way to kill Hendrik Schmutz is to wait for him to get to the
Elevator and Strangle him from above. However, it will be awhile from the
start of the mission before he gets to it. But I found a way to make use of
that time and acquire some valuable items to be used in the later parts of
the mission before killing him.
I also went for a more hands-on approach to killing the Scientist instead
of sniping or blowing him up. Same for the Sheik.
For those playing the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions here is the next part of
obtaining one of the Accomplishments:
>>"Notorious" Accomplishment (Part 2)
***********************************
If you did everything correctly in the previous mission then you will
obtain this Accomplishment here. To complete acquisition of this
Accomplishment you should have the following:
++Silverballer
--Extra Ammo
--Magnum Ammo
--Large Clip
++Pain Killers
++Adrenaline
++Flexible Flak Vest
When the mission starts then go through the entrance and turn right.
Then turn left and head to the guarded Staff Only door. Bring out
your Silverballer and kill the Guard to get things started. Quickly
Pick the Lock and go through the door then go through the door after
that.
You'll enter into a long hallway that is part of an L-shaped room. Go
to the end and hang around the corner. This will be perfect for
killing all of the approaching Guards. Both yourself and the Guards
fire right handed.
But, because of where you are standing, you can shoot them before
they can shoot you. This makes it easier to keep your health under
control.
Go into 1st Person Mode and position yourself where you can see the
wall where the door is but it should be between the corner and the
Closet. This will give you a good angle to kill the Guards as they
approach. Keep the gun aimed high for headshots.
When the Guards stop coming then go and grab all of the SLP .40
Pistols to keep them from being picked up by others. In addition, the
chaos you are creating will keep the Scientist and the Sheik in the
Lobby making them easier to kill.
Sometimes, though, the Scientist may actually make it to the 8th
Floor. In this case, grab the Keycard from Henrik when you kill him
so you can get to the 7th Floor then use the Trellis to climb to the
8th Floor so you can get at the Scientist.
From the Staff Only room, head out and attract the attention of
Bodyguards and other Guards that didn't already try to go after you.
Go back to the Staff Only room, hang around the corner again, and
pick them off as they approach.
Once all of the Guards are gone then go after your Targets. Then go
into the Bar and kill the two Guards there. Do *NOT* kill any
Civilians - you want to have Witnesses. After the last Guard is dead
then run all around the Casino and Lobby area with your weapon out.
Make sure that when you go into the Casino that you are seen by the
CCTV Cameras.
Then complete the mission and you will successfully acquire this
Accomplishment. Then go back to the previous mission and start
cleaning up your score.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are five levels to the map:
>>8th Floor
>>7th Floor
>>Casino
>>Lobby, 1st Floor
>>Outside
The Outside Map is where you start and has one Point of Interest which is
the Balcony that has the Trellis that you can use to climb up to the 8th
Floor.
The Lobby has a Guard Quarters and one Point of Interest which is the
Surveillance Machine where you can get the CCTV Tape (if you need to do
so). The Casino floor has one Point of Interest which is additional Staff
Only doors. There is a Guard Quarters to the southeast and the main Lounge
is to the northeast.
The Casino itself is in the center and you will be recorded on CCTV if you
go there.
The 7th Floor has one Point of Interest which is a drunken woman who will
let you into her room. Your ICA Crate is in Room 701. There is also a
Guards Quarters near the center. The 8th Floor has no Points of Interests
but does have a Guards Quarters near the center. The room for the Scientist
is to the northwest.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
For this particular strategy a Pistol is required at the start. Any Pistol
will do.
When you start the mission then you will be outside the Hotel. Run forward
and through the main entrance.
When you get inside the Lobby then run to the Reception Desk at the east
side of the floor. Talk to the person behind the counter to get your room
key (Keycard Room 701). You need the room key to access the 7th Floor or
you will not be allowed to use the Elevators.
You will need to get up to the 8th Floor as well but your Keycard will not
allow you access to that level. If you do not have an appropriate Keycard
for that floor and you manage to take the Elevator up to that floor then
the Guards posted by it will demand you leave.
You will need to Sneak up there from the 7th Floor and acquire a Keycard
for the 8th Floor to allow for easy access. This is what I am going to do
while I am waiting for Hendrik Schmutz to get to the Elevator so I can
ambush him.
After acquiring your Keycard then run north up the nearby stairs to an
Elevator. There are two Elevators - one to the west and one to the east.
The one you are running up to is the East Elevator and the one I will be
using exclusively for this mission (this is also the Elevator that Hendrik
will be using).
Get inside the East Elevator and take it up to the 7th Floor. As you are
riding the Elevator then Prep your Pistol. When you get to the 7th Floor
then exit the Elevator, turn left, then run left again at the corner. You
should see a Civilian walk east along the main hallway at the east side of
the floor.
Run north and turn left at the next corner. You should see a Guard ahead of
you turning the next corner. At the north side of this hallway are two
large doors. These doors lead out onto the Balcony that has the Trellis
that you can use to climb up to the 8th Floor.
However, there is a member of the Casino Staff having a leisurely smoke at
the west side of the Balcony. Go up to the west door and open it then
sidestep left as it opens. This is to make sure that he doesn't turn around
on you.
When the coast is clear then Sneak up behind him and Grab him. Then go back
into the hallway and head west then turn south at the corner. Continue
south and you will find a Staff Only door to your left. Go through the door
and you will find a Container.
Whip the Casino Staff person, grab the 7th Floor Keycard (the master key
for this floor), then dump him into the Container. Then Prep your Sedative,
leave the Staff Only room, and head to the Balcony.
Get to the still open door then stop. Near the other door is another
Civilian. Wait for him to leave then go onto the Balcony and climb the
Trellis which is between the two doors. Go east along the ledge and into
the open window. There is a Guard that patrols this floor but, because of
how things are timed, he will not be near this window.
When you get through the window then head west and turn left at the corner.
Ahead of you, to the left, is another Staff Only door. In the small room is
another Casino Staff member. He has an unusual pattern in that he will be
seated in a chair at the north end of the room then get up, travel south
about ten feet, and return to his chair. Looking through the Keyhole will
do no good in trying to determine when he is up and about.
Instead, open the door, Nudge forward about a step to keep the door from
closing, and look north. You should see him at the south end of his route
but the door will keep him from seeing you. When you see him head north
back to his chair then Sneak in. Go up to him, Sedate him, grab the 8th
Floor Keycard (the master key for this floor), and dump him into the nearby
Container.
While you are doing this then the Scientist will have arrived on this
floor. Before leaving the Staff only room have a quick look at your Map.
Wait for him to get just past the door of Room 801 before leaving.
As you leave the Staff Only room then you should see his back as he heads
down the hallway to his room (Room 803). Stay distant from him and head to
Room 801. There is something I need to do here to make things easier later
on in the mission.
Use the Master Keycard to open the door. There is a Civilian in this room
that you need to knock out which will make it easier for you to leave after
killing the Scientist later in the mission.
If the timing is right then he should be in the Bathroom and you won't be
seen as you enter the room. Go to the coffee table within the Living Room
to find a Bottle. Quickly Sedate it, drop your Pistol just inside the
doorway, and leave.
You need to be unarmed before you can visit Sheikh Al-Khalifa. But you
still need the Pistol for later after you deal with the Sheik. This will
put it in a safe place and near where you need to be. Another option is to
take the SLP .40 .S Pistol from Henrik's body before dealing with the
Scientist instead of going back to Room 801.
After leaving the room then go back to the East Elevator. Because the
Guards did not see you enter through the window and that you have the 8th
Floor Keycard then they will not cause any problems for you. Enter the
Elevator and take it down. Climb the Hatch, bring out your Fiber Wire,
stand at the edge of the Hatch, and wait.
By doing all of the above work before Hendrik arrives at the East Elevator
then you will have gained the Master Keycards for both the 7th and 8th
Floors thus allowing you full access to both levels and all of the rooms
within.
After about a minute or so then Hendrik will finally enter the East
Elevator. When he enters and the Elevator goes up then Strangle Hendrik
which will put him on the top of the Elevator and safely out of view. There
is no need to change into his clothes. After killing Hendrik then drop down
into the Elevator as it continues up.
Exit the Elevator when it stops and head to Hendrik's room - Room 707. Use
the Keycard and enter the room to find the DNA Briefcase. Grab the DNA
Briefcase and go back to the East Elevator. Go back down to the Lobby then
to the Casino floor.
When you get down to the floor then angle northeast towards the doors that
lead to the hallway for the Restrooms. Go north through this hallway to
enter the Lounge area. Head to the north end to find a couple of the
Sheik's Bodyguards who will search you.
After the search then angle northwest to find the Sheik himself. After a
couple of short cutscenes then you will have to wait as a Courier from the
Scientist's room comes down to retrieve the DNA Briefcase and takes it back
up.
Then wait some more as he comes back down with the Payment Briefcase. All
the while you will have to listen to the Sheik tell you how "this is a
large Casino". Irritating. Of course, during this time, you can go to the
restroom or get a snack/drink. That's what I do. At least it's better than
listen to his yammering about his Casino.
After a few minutes then the Scientist will call the Sheik but the
reception is poor because of the anti-cheating measures. He will then head
to the roof so he can complete the conversation. Follow him up. As you head
up the stairs then you will see your Threat Meter go yellow but you are a
friend of the Sheik so you're cool. Eventually your Threat Meter will go
down as you continue up.
You will finally get to the roof and the Sheik will complete the call. As
he heads back inside then keep close to him. When you reach the top of the
stairs then push him down. He may or may not die in the fall. If he does,
fine. If not, then Poison him.
From here, head back into the Lounge, grab the Payment Briefcase, and go to
the Exit Point at the west side of the Casino floor. After going through
the second set of doors then drop the Briefcase. It will be safe here.
After this then go back to the East Elevator and up to the 8th Floor.
Either climb back up through the Hatch to obtain the SLP .40 .S Pistol from
Henrik while you're going up or go back to Room 801 to find the now Sedated
Civilian and pick the Pistol you dropped earlier. After obtaining the
Pistol then head to the Fire Alarm west of Room 801.
The Scientist never leaves his room - that is, unless forced to. When you
get to the Fire Alarm then pull it, run north, and turn left at the corner.
Continue forward and stop at the next Fire Alarm.
You should see the Scientist and most of his Bodyguards pass you by. But
don't do anything yet. One of the Bodyguards is a straggler so wait for him
to pass you and go around the corner you just came from before making your
move. After he gets out of view then run into the Scientist's room.
Go into the Bathroom through the south door, close it, and stand by it.
Bring out your Pistol, switch to your Map, and wait. Eventually the Fire
Alarm will stop and everybody will return to their rooms. Then the
Scientist, and a Bodyguard, will return to the Living Room.
After a few seconds then the Scientist will go north into the Bedroom. When
he does then get out of the Map, open the door, Sneak into the Living Room,
then turn left. You should find the Bodyguard just standing there. Sneak up
to him and, by the time you get to him, then the door to the Bedroom will
have closed.
Grab the Bodyguard, quickly move him into the Bathroom, then Whip him. As
you are Whipping the Bodyguard then the Scientist will go back into the
Living Room. Open the door and, while using it as a shield, look east. When
the Scientist stops then bring out your Poison, Sneak up behind him, and
kill him.
Although you can get him in the Bedroom it is better to kill him in the
Living Room.
If you try to kill him in the Bedroom then there is a slight chance that
one of the patrolling Guards on either the 7th or 8th Floor may see you out
of a window at the north side of their patrol route and they will come up
to attack you. I found this out the hard way during a Professional
difficulty run.
But nobody can see you in the Living Room so it is safer to kill the
Scientist here. With the Scientist dead then it is just a matter of getting
back out of the heavily guarded room. Near the Bedroom door is another door
that leads out onto the balcony for this room. Go out onto the balcony and
go south to the privacy divider.
Then jump to the balcony to the east which is the one for Room 801. After
jumping onto the balcony then go through the room and into the hallway.
Then go back to the East Elevator and take it down then head back down to
the Casino floor. Then go to the Exit Point, pick up the Payment Briefcase,
and run to the Limo to to successfully complete the mission.

| Overview \
0=======================================================>
The date: August 15, 2005.
The Agency is finished. Somebody has been killing off the other agents and
all that remains is Diana and 47.
But there is one more mission to accomplish before the end. 47's last
mission takes him to another part of Las Vegas. He is to infiltrate an
illegal rave and take down a dirty CIA Agent. That Agent is Anthony
Martinez. He is also meeting with a known arms dealer, who is also a bit of
a showgirl, named Vaana Ketlyn.
They are to close out a deal during this party. They are also romantically
linked. But that is not the only thing to deal with. There are going to be
other assassins there as well. However, those assassins are not after
Anthony or Vanna. They are after 47.
Presumably they are part of a rival group known as The Franchise. In
addition to taking down his assigned Targets, 47 is to find out who these
assassins are and take them down as well.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
This is an interesting level in that you have to go through two different
theme parties to get at your Targets. The easiest place to get at Anthony
Martinez is at the Heaven Party. One aspect to him is that he will
eventually go down to the Hell Party to meet with Vaana.
However, he will *NEVER* go down unless you get up to the Heaven Party in
the Heaven Party Outfit. This seems to set off some kind of timer in
regards to him going down to the Hell Party. You can use this to your
advantage.
Most people like to ambush him in the restroom at the north side of the Top
Floor. However, I find that to be a bit risky since it is possible that he
may head to the Elevator while you are waiting in position for him. This is
in addition to the fact that a couple of people go in and out of this room.
I prefer to just take the time and wait for him to come to the Elevator so
I can Strangle him through the Hatch. That way I don't risk any Bad Things
happening and I can preserve a Silent Assassin run, especially at
Professional difficulty.
In addition, you can confront both Eve and Maynard John before acquiring
the Information which will make them Targets on the Map. Interestingly
enough, Eve and Maynard John will appear on the Map as Civilians even at
Professional difficulty.
What I will do is go up to the Heaven Party to start the timer for Anthony
then go down to the Hell Party to kill Maynard John which will speed things
up because I am making efficient use of the time I would have spent waiting
for Anthony to use the Elevator.
I also found a way to easily get rid of Maynard without the need for
firearms. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a way to get quietly deal
with him without entering the Torture Chamber.
Finally, I also managed to safely get rid of all of the Office Guards that
patrol the Garage so I can move about freely down there.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There are four levels to the map:
>>Basement
>>Ground Floor and Garage
>>Atrium Terrace
>>Top Floor
The Ground Floor and Garage is where you start and has your Exit Point
which is located on the north side of the Garage. This level has two Points
of Interests.
The first one, to the northeast, is where you can find the Heaven Guest
Outfit that will allow you access to the Heaven Party on the Top Floor. The
second one, near the center, is the Guard Shack where you can find the
Surveillance Machine that has the CCTV Tape.
This level also has a Guards Quarters and your ICA Crate. There is a small
Elevator Room situated at the south side of the Garage. The Basement is
where the Hell Party is located. The main dance floor is in the center.
The lone Point of Interest is the Food Elevator that is connected to the
Top Floor and where items can be dropped in from above. The Torture Chamber
is at the southwest corner of this floor.
The Top Floor is where the Heaven Party is located. There are two Points of
Interests on this floor.
The first one, to the north, is the Food Elevator where you can drop things
into the Basement. The second PoI, to the south, is where you can find the
Laptop that contains the Information on the assassins laying in wait for
you.
The Top Floor also has a Guards Quarters where you can find some weapons.
The Atrium Terrace has nothing of particular interest but can be used as a
possible sniping point.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
For this particular strategy a Pistol is required at the start. Do *NOT*
bring an SLP .40 Pistol - any other Pistol is fine. The Flak Jacket may
also be recommended if you haven't already bought it.
When you start the mission then you will be outside the large building.
Prep your Pistol and head north through the front doors. You will
automatically be seen by the CCTV Cameras as you enter. Continue forward to
the main desk and Talk to Receptionist.
Then follow him through the Staff Only door into the Guards Quarters.
Eventually he will lead you to a small room north of here. When he stops
then Whip him and change into the Office Guard Outfit. Go back into the
Guards Quarters and to the Weapons Box at the northeast corner of the room.
Pick up both of the SLP .40 Pistols to empty the Box then stand behind the
nearby chair and Prep your Sedative.
After a short time then you will see an Office Guard come in and sit in
this chair. Sedate him then drag him to the small room where you left the
first Guard. Prep your SLP .40 Pistol and leave the Guards Quarters. Turn
right and head east until you get to another door which leads into the Fire
Exit.
Go down the stairs and through the double doors. Here you will be in the
Garage. Ahead of you to the east you should see in the far background a
large limo. You will also see four Guards by the two Elevators that go to
the two major parties.
From this door then turn left and head north past the two vehicles. You
should then see a railing and, at the west end, a set of stairs going down
to the lower Garage level. Go down the stairs and turn right. You should
see another limo at the far background and the back end of the van which is
your Exit Point.
Just ahead of you, though, is a short incline. There is also an Office
Guard that patrols this area but he isn't seen at this point. Go up this
small incline and you should see a car to your left. Bring out your SLP .40
Pistol and drop it by this car. Then run back up to the Guards Quarters and
to the Weapons Box.
Prep your other Pistol and wait (do *NOT* use the Sedative). It will take
awhile but the Office Guard on the lower Garage level will find the dropped
Pistol and take it to the Weapons Box.
When he bends down to put the weapon in the Box then Whip him. Leave the
Guards Quarters and walk through the front doors. Do *NOT* run through the
front doors - the Guards in the Guard Shack will see you with the CCTV
Camera and they will come out to attack you if you run.
Turn left and walk towards the Guard Shack. If everything has gone right up
to this point then you should see one of the two Office Guards in the Shack
outside of it taking a smoke. If, by some chance he is not, then stand some
distance away and wait for him to exit the Guard Shack.
When he is in position then walk until you are about fifteen feet away from
him then Sneak up and Whip him. Then Prep your Sedative, go inside the
Guard Shack, and Steal Video Tape from the Surveillance Machine.
From here, head north and turn right at the corner. Head towards the
Elevator Guards and you should see a car to your right as you walk past the
wall. You will also see an Office Guard standing near it. Turn the next
corner then stop in the next.
The Office Guard may turn around but that is okay since he will turn back
around again. Sneak behind the car and go up to him then Sedate him. Do
*NOT* try to Whip him. He may make enough noise to alert the Elevator
Guards and you will be attacked. This is why you need to save the last of
your Sedative for him.
After Sedating the Office Guard then Pick the Lock of the nearby door which
opens into the Elevator Room. Drag the Office Guard into the Elevator Room
which will hide him.
And, by Sedating this Guard, then you will have cleared out the entire
Garage of all of the patrolling Guards which will make going through this
area a lot easier.
Now it is time to go up to the Heaven Party but you will need a disguise.
Head northeast while keeping distant from the Elevator Guards and to the
east side of the lower Garage level. Here you will find the Spring Valley
prop rental van.
Behind it, on the ground, is the Heaven Guest Outfit. However, I am not
going to change into it yet. There is something else I will do first.
To the northwest of the Heaven Outfit is another limo and three trailers.
To the west of the trailers is a pillar.
Behind the pillar is a Hell Guest who is throwing up something fierce. I
will need his Outfit to access the Hell Party. Go to the Heaven Outfit then
head straight north and turn left at the corner. Go west behind the
trailers then enter Sneak Mode when you get to the last one.
Turn left past the last one to find the sick guest. Sneak up behind him and
bring out your Pistol. Because of the way he is bent down it will take a
few seconds to get the prompt to Grab him. When you are able to Grab him
then Whip him. Change into the Hell Guest Outfit then head back to the
Elevator Room.
Go to the Sedated Office Guard and change into his Outfit which will place
the Hell Guest Outfit in the Elevator Room. Then head back out to the
Heaven Outfit and change into it.
Although you can drop your weapons and get frisked by the Elevator Guards I
prefer to avoid them and keep my hardware. Go back to the Elevator Room and
climb the ladder. The first Elevator you come to is the one that leads up
to the Heaven Party. Carefully drop down through the Hatch and take the
Elevator up.
When you get to the Top Floor then proceed forward into the main stage
area. At this point you may see a scantily dressed woman on stage singing a
song. Or, at least, trying to.
That woman is Eve, one of your Targets but you haven't got her to appear as
one on the Map yet. For now just stay in this area for about thirty seconds
then return to the Elevator and head back down to the Garage floor.
While all of this is going on then Anthony Martinez will enter the main
stage area, head backstage, go to the restroom, go to the window on the
east side of the floor, then back to the main stage area. After about four
to five minutes of waiting then he will finally head to the Elevator. I
will be using this time to go after Maynard John at the Hell Party.
When you get back down to the Garage floor then leave the Elevator through
the doors and go back into the Elevator Room. Change into the Hell Guest
Outfit then climb the ladder and go to the far Elevator which is the one
that leads down to the Hell Party.
When you get down to the Hell Party then find Maynard John. You can't miss
him - red outfit, red face, white hair. He is usually near the Bar or at
the stairs leading down to the dance floor. When you confront Maynard then
you find that this cocky little bastard wants to take on 47 in a duel.
This duel is to be held in a room known as the Torture Chamber. Follow him
and he will take you there. After you get inside the Torture Chamber then
you will get another cutscene. After that then you will find yourself by a
table with an MP7 and a Desert Eagle.
The room has a fence around the center and you are outside of it. The
outside of this room is also segmented. In addition, this room is also
soundproofed (although you can hear someone making out just outside the
door).
If you go south and turn the corner then you will find a gate that won't
open until Maynard moves to the next section of the room. You will find
shelves with vases on them but they only provide temporary cover since they
can be broken up by gunfire.
Although the game wants you to use guns for this duel you can easily use
the Poison and not even get hit by gunfire in the process since you are not
opening yourself up to return fire.
As you begin, there is also a large concrete pillar next to the table where
you start. Stand behind the pillar. On the opposite side of this room is
another large pillar. Maynard is going to be behind this pillar.
In some dumbass fashion he will try to shoot at you but will shoot into
this pillar instead. While he is firing then bring out your Poison. After
he empties about three clips then the lighting will change and he will move
to another part of the room. When he starts moving then run south and turn
the corner.
Go through the now open gate and head to the pillar that Maynard was firing
into earlier. Find the bullet holes and stand *EXACTLY* by them. The reason
is that he will be firing at an angle from the next room and, by standing
next to these bullet holes, then he cannot hit you.
When the lighting changes again then turn left to look at the gate. When
the gate opens up then run through it, turn right, turn right at the next
corner, then stop inside the wall corner and look south. You should see the
last gate leading into the center of the room which is closed. The wall
will protect you from Maynard's gunfire.
Wait until the gate opens and for Maynard to be seen at the desk ahead of
you. When he pauses to reload then run at him. When you get to him then he
will run to the other desk in this area. Keep close to him as he runs from
desk to desk and he will not be able to fire on you. As he continues to run
then keep close to his backside and you will be able to easily Poison him.
Duh, ownage! Heh.
Grab the Storage Key from Maynard's dead body and his MP5 (if you still
need one). You can also go back to the table and grab the Desert Eagle and
MP7 as well. Unlock the door and go back to the Elevator. Take it up to the
Garage level and climb the Hatch. Bring out your Fiber Wire and wait.
After about a minute then Anthony will call the Elevator up to the Heaven
Party. Then he will come down and enter the Elevator below you.
Sometimes, however, if you look at your Map, you may find Eve and Anthony
stuck. If this happens then get back into the Heaven Guest Outfit and go
back up just long enough to get them unstuck then go back down and wait at
the top of the Elevator for the Hell Party.
When Anthony enters the Elevator and it starts to go down then Strangle him
through the Hatch. After that then change into the CIA Agent Outfit which
will allow you to access almost everyplace without suspicion. When the
Elevator doors close then gently climb down - leave the Rifle Suitcase for
now. Exit the Elevator and be on the lookout for Vaana.
Vaana will start on the dance floor then head towards the T-shaped stage,
which is above a large shark tank, at the east side of this floor. Then,
after performing, which involves pyrotechnics, she will go back to the
dance floor. There are two methods to getting rid of her:
>>The "Never Let Her See Your Face" Method
****************************************
Get up to her before or after her performance and she will motion you
to follow her. She will lead you into the Throne Room which is east
of the Bar. Go inside and she will tell you to take off your mask.
Instead, Punch her out then Poison her unconscious body. Move her
body to the Throne, just to be safe, before leaving.
>>The "Ooops! Did I Do That?" Method
**********************************
Go backstage to find the double doors leading to the T-shaped stage.
To the left of the doors is a Pyrotechnics Machine. You can rig the
Pyrotechnics to kill Vaana in an Accident at the end of her
performance. Although there is a Hell Guard nearby he doesn't seem to
care about you messing around with equipment.
However, just to be safe, make sure he isn't standing right at the
machine before tinkering with it.
After dealing with Vaana then head back to the Elevator and pick up the
Rifle Suitcase. Then take the Elevator back up to the Garage. The Rifle
Suitcase contains the FN-2000 assault rifle. If you did not acquire this
weapon from the mission "Death on the Mississippi" then it is very easy to
get here.
Open the Elevator doors and go west then back out to the front of the
office building. Head to your ICA Crate at the west side of the entrance.
Select the Rifle Suitcase to bring out the FN-2000 then store it in the ICA
Crate. After that then head back to the Elevator for the Heaven Party. Take
it back up and turn right.
You should see the doors for the Restricted Area ahead of you. Go through
them and you should see the next set of doors which should be to your right
near the end of the hall. They will open into a large office that is used
by Eve. Depending on your timing she may be finished with a performance and
heading back to the office.
Quickly enter the office and do a 180-degree turn left around the door.
Stand at the wall between the door and the picture and look southwest.
Bring out either your Fiber Wire or Poison (if you have any left) and wait.
When she returns to the office then she will stand by the door and with
her back to you. Close the door, Sneak up to her, and Wire/Poison her. Then
drag her to the nearby window so she isn't seen when you open the door to
leave. After killing her then head to the curved desk at the south end of
the office. On one end is the Laptop with the Information you require.
Go to the Laptop and acquire the Information which will show Eve and
Maynard John on the Map as Targets (even though they are already dead). On
the other end of the desk is another Rifle Suitcase - this one has a
Dragunov Sniper Rifle.
After acquiring the Information then grab the Rifle Suitcase (if you still
need the Dragunov), exit the office, and head back to the Elevator. Go back
down to the Garage, head to the ICA Crate to store the Dragunov (if you
grabbed it), then get your Suit.
Then go back through the Fire Exit and to the stairs down to the lower
Garage level. From here, head to your Exit Point to successfully complete
the mission.

As 47 drives off to parts unknown he is surprised by a stowaway, Agent
Smith, who happily greets him. Unfortunately, 47 doesn't take too kindly to
unwelcome passengers and manages to stop the van while smacking around
Smith.
As 47 puts a gun to Smith's head he gives the Agent an opportunity to
explain himself. Smith needs 47's help in a matter of major importance. The
President is being targeted for assassination by the group that wants to
make cloning illegal and keep it to themselves. Smith does not want that to
happen and feels that 47 is the best person for the job.
However, 47 isn't going to do this for free. But Smith informs 47 about the
diamonds in the back and more that can he given to him. This convinces 47
to do the job for Agent Smith and that leads into the next mission....

The date: September 22, 2005.
The President is in line to be assassinated by his own Vice President. The
same group that put him into the Vice Presidency wants to put him in the
Oval Office. Agent Smith does not want this to happen and that is why he
has brought in Agent 47. The President is currently in Los Angeles and will
be killed when he returns unless 47 stops them.
However, the assassins, and Vice President, are already inside the heavily
guarded White House.....

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
This one was easy for awhile before I got to Professional difficulty. Then
it became frustrating.
Even though I was doing well I kept getting Professional ratings instead of
Silent Assassin. I was using the "Enemy Mined" strategy to kill both the
Vice President and Parchezzi but that doesn't work on Professional because
you will hurt your rating if any bodies are found outside of an Accident.
Of course, both bodies are always found after blowing them up.
Even though you can hide the VP's body you cannot do the same for Parchezzi
so it became important to find a way to kill him without attracting the
attention of Marines and Secret Service that could end up finding him.
Although there are a lot of CCTV Cameras inside the Main Building you can
get the CCTV Tape early on in the mission before they can record you.
One irritating thing about this mission - when you kill Parchezzi there is
a bug in the engine that will cause the PIP Cam to turn itself back on if
you turned it off. I always keep it off because I find it distracting - and
why this bug is irritating to me. On the PS2 version it may turn back on
from the beginning of the mission.
Finally, by successfully completing this mission in the Xbox 360 version
then you will also acquire the "Rookie/Normal/Expert/Professional Mode
Complete" Accomplishments.

The East Wing, Outside is where you start and has both your Exit Point and
ICA Crate.
The East Wing has a Guards Quarters and two Points of Interest. The first
one, inside the Guards Quarters, is where you can find the Main Building
Keycard and the Surveillance Machine that has the CCTV Tape. The second
one, in the Museum, is a laser system that can be triggered to create a
distraction.
The Main Building, 1st Floor has a Guards Quarters and is where the Vice
President's office is. The Main Building, 2nd Floor has two Points of
Interest. The first one, to the west, is where you can find a Carpenter
Outfit. The second one, to the east is where you can find a Toolbox.
The Main Building, Basement connects the East and West Wings with the Main
Building.
The West Wing, 1st Floor has one Point of Interest which is a Weapons
Crate. The Oval Office, where Parchezzi can be found, is at the southeast
corner of the Map. The West Wing, 2nd Floor has a Guards Quarters and a
Point of Interest which is where you can find a Secret Service Outfit and a
Desert Eagle.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
For this particular strategy a Pistol is required at the start. An SLP .40
.S or Silenced Silverballer is *STRONGLY* recommended. Because of the metal
detectors you will need to find a way to get it inside.
When you start the mission then you will be outside of the East Wing by a
large tour bus. Go south around the south end of the tour bus so you are on
the east side of it. Stop by the rear wheels and look south. Eventually a
tourist will walk past you and drop off her Tourist Suitcase on the ground
(who brings a suitcase to the White House anyway?).
As she walks off to take a smoke then walk over to it and grab the
Suitcase. Place your Pistol inside the Suitcase and Prep your Sedative.
Head to the front doors but drop the Suitcase in front of one of the
Marines standing guard. Walk inside and go through the metal detectors to
enter the Museum.
Go straight ahead to find a Marine guarding a double door just past the
velvet rope. Go past the velvet rope and turn left towards a door while
keeping away from the Marine (get too close and he'll warn you).
Go through the door to enter a Restroom. Stand by the toilet and wait. One
of the Museum Staff will come inside to take a piss. When the door closes
then Sedate him. Then drag his body into the northwest corner of this
Restroom. Twirl his body in either direction until he is up against the
west wall as much as possible.
After that then change into the Museum Staff Outfit. Then walk out of the
door while executing the command to close it (this will get the door to
close quickly behind you as you exit to lessen the chance of the body being
seen).
Now go through the double doors to enter a short hallway. Go through the
door to the left to enter the Guards Quarters. By the time you get here
then the Tourist Suitcase will have been picked up by one of the Marines
and placed into the Guards Quarters. Head to the south side of this room to
find a desk.
On the desk is a Surveillance Machine with the CCTV Tape and a Main
Building Keycard. Take the Keycard and Steal Video Tape. Then grab the
Tourist Suitcase and go to the divider just southeast of where you picked
it up so you aren't see by the two Marines in the room. Retrieve your
Pistol, Holster it, and drop the Suitcase. That takes care of acquiring
your Pistol.
Now, you're probably wondering why not just take an SLP. 40 Pistol from the
nearby Weapons Box. This is because, if you do that, even if you are
wearing a Marine Outfit, you will be attacked by the Marine sitting at the
desk. Stupid, I know.
After getting back your Pistol then exit the Guards Quarters and angle
northwest to enter a single door that goes into a Locker Room. Head north
and go through the door on your left to enter the Kitchen. Proceed through
the Kitchen and you will find a Kitchen Knife on the counter (you probably
won't need it but it should be pointed out in case you want to play with
it). Go through the door at the end to get back outside.
Stand at the east side of the door and look north. A Marine patrols this
area. He will slowly patrol outside, then go through a door east of you,
quickly go through the Locker Room and Kitchen, and heads back outside.
When he comes back outside then wait for the door to close and Sneak up
behind him then Whip him. Change into the Marine Outfit and grab the M14.
Go through the door to the east to go back inside. Head south to go through
the next door to get back into the Museum.
Go back outside then turn north to go to your ICA Crate. Store the M14 and
this should complete your weapon collection (if you have acquired all of
the other weapons beforehand). Go back inside and through the double doors
guarded by the Marine. Continue west and go through the next double doors
to enter a large breakroom.
Go through the next double doors to enter a long hallway with a glass wall
to your left. At the end is another double door but it is keycarded. The
Main Building Keycard will open this door. After going through this door
then you will be inside the Basement of the Main Building. Speed walk
through here and go through the next door that leads into the 1st Floor of
the Main Building.
You will be inside a large stairwell at the east side of the Main Building
(I will call this the East Stairwell). However, you will see a double door
to your right. Go through it and you will enter into a large central room
with a Piano and Fireplace. Angle southwest until you reach the red
carpeted area and then angle west until you go through another double door.
You will then enter another large stairwell which I will call the West
Stairwell. Climb the stairs to the top and you will see another double
door. However, you will see a single door to your right. Go through it to
enter a room with covered furniture.
Go south toward an open window but don't get too close to it yet since you
will be encountering a patrolling Marine within this room. You will also
find a Carpenter Outfit on the nearby desk but it is of no use in this
write-up.
When the Marine leaves then go through the window to stand on top of a
scaffold. Climb the ladder down to reach the Roof of the West Wing. When
you get down then you will find a couple of large vent units and additional
scaffolding pieces. Note this location as it is where you will be facing
Parchezzi later on.
This is also the east end of the roof which is long and rectangular and has
additional large and small vent units.
Prep your Pistol and run west. As you run past the trio of large vent units
then angle southwest. You should see a large domed roof (for the Oval
Office), a keycarded door, and a bright lighted window near the door. Head
to this window and stop. The door leads inside the West Wing.
Unfortunately, you cannot enter as a Marine or a Carpenter.
Fortunately, a Secret Service Agent will come out in a couple of minutes to
take a smoke at the wall just south of your position. Wait for the door to
close then Sneak up and Whip him. Then drag him around the dome all the way
to the other side. Then change into the Secret Service Outfit and grab the
West Wing Keycard. Now you can safely go everywhere.
Although you could go back up the scaffold to re-enter the Main Building
you may be spotted by a Secret Service Agent that wanders the grassy area
below. So I will go through the West Wing to safely get back to the Main
Building.
Enter the door into the West Wing and make your way to the stairs at the
north side of the floor. Go down the stairs and through the door at the
bottom. Turn left at the next corner and proceed east. Angle northeast at
the next corner to go down a long hallway leading to a door that goes
outside.
Now for one method that will work on the easier difficulty levels:
>>The "Enemy Mined" Method
************************
Head straight south from the outside door and you will get to window
for the Oval Office. You will see Parchezzi run into a room on the
other side but that is okay.
Plant an RU-AP Mine by the side of the window then head east toward a
tree about halfway through this area. Stand at the south side of the
tree and wait for the Vice President to come out and stand in the
middle of this area.
When he heads to the Oval Office window then check the West Wing, 1st
Floor Map. Look for Parchezzi who is going in a counterclockwise
patrol within the Oval Office. When he gets to the window to meet
with the VP then Detonate the Mine. The explosion will kill them both
at once.
From here, scroll down to "Escape".
When you go outside then head east to another double door that leads back
into the Main Building. Follow the hallway inside and take it back up to
the 1st Floor and inside the West Stairwell. You will see a solitary Marine
ahead of you. He is guarding the office for the Vice President. Go right on
in and stand in the middle of the room then Prep your Poison.
More than likely he will not be inside his office. The First Lady has the
VP under her thumb and makes him take her dog, Justice, out on frequent
walks. After he returns from a walk then he will go inside the First Lady's
office and he will head through another room to go back into his office.
There are two doors leading into his office.
Depending on which door he heads to will determine the first place he will
stop inside his office.
If he heads to the north door then he will stand at the south end of the
fireplace while looking northwest. If he goes through the south door then
he will stand at the window at the southwest corner of the room. When you
determine which door he will enter from then head to the appropriate spot,
wait for him to stop in front of you, then Poison him.
It is important to note that the First Lady may call him back before he
gets to either spot. If that happens then speed walk behind him and Poison
him before he gets too far from you. After killing the VP then drag his
body into the next room where you will find a wooden Container. Dump his
body into it to complete one objective.
Now it's time to go after Parchezzi.
Head back to the 1st Floor of the West Wing going the same way you came.
Then head to the north door of the Oval Office. Before going in you should
either Prep your Poison or Silenced Pistol. Then enter the Oval Office to
trigger a cutscene with Parchezzi.
After the cutscene ends then he will trigger a mine that was planted on the
door behind you and flee while you are knocked to the ground. Your Threat
Meter will go yellow and remain that way through the end of the mission but
that is okay as it will not negatively affect your score.
Now, before I go any further, there is one interesting tactic you can use
on the easier difficulty levels if you use a Silenced Pistol:
>>The "Draw!" Method
******************
This idea comes courtesy of TheAuZZieGamer who posted this on
YouTube.
Before entering the Oval Office then bring out your Silenced Pistol
and go into 1st Person Mode. After the cutscene ends then you can
kill Parchezzi before he can flee if you fire fast enough.
After playing around with this I found that it works best if you
*HOLD DOWN* the Fire Button while the cutscene plays. Then you will
fire a shot and kill him just after the cutscene ends.
However, on the console versions I found that he still manages to
Detonate the Mine before I can kill him. This means his body will be
found by the Secret Service - and no SA on Professional difficulty.
Interestingly enough, if you have the Full Auto upgrade on the
Silenced Silverballer, then, when you fire, you will completely use
up the entire clip before you can regain control of the gun.
From here, scroll down to "Escape".
As you are on the ground then turn your camera to look at the door that
Parchezzi just ran through. When you finally get up then go around the
north end of the couch, which is the shortest path to the door, and run
through the open door. Run through all of the doors and turn north when you
get through the last one. Run east at the corner and follow the way back to
the stairs leading up to the 2nd Floor.
If you are fortunate enough then you may encounter Parchezzi in the
stairwell. Keep behind him though. He will fire on you if you manage to
pass him up. I should point out that this doesn't happen often.
Follow him and he will lead you and up back out onto the roof. You should
still be fairly close to him. Now for two tactics based on what you Prepped
before entering the Oval Office:
>>Poison
******
As Parchezzi heads down the long straightaway toward the scaffolding
then bring out your Poison. If you are close enough then, when he
stops at the point between the two vents, then you can quickly nail
him (if you're *REALLY* close then you can get him in mid-stride
before he gets there).
If he runs off before you can get him then he will stop just north of
you. Get up close to him so he doesn't fire and "use" the Poison in
an attempt to either Punch him or, if he turns around to either run
or get a better firing angle, Poison him.
It should be pointed out that you can't Disarm him even if you were
unarmed. You can only knock him out. If he runs off again then he
will head to the south vent. If he does so then he may manage to fire
a shot while you are up in his face.
Keep up with up and continue to Punch him until he is knocked out or
you manage to nail him. If you knock him out then Poison him. If he
manages to fire off at least one shot then note where he fired it.
When he is dead then drag him to a point opposite from where he fired
the shot.
For example, if he fired at you from the south vent, then drag his
body to the east side of the north vent. Any Marine that comes up to
investigate will go to the exact spot where the shot was fired.
That means, in this case, then he will go to the south vent. After
looking around then he will head back. By hiding the body in this way
then you greatly decrease the chance that the body will be found.
If that doesn't work for you then there is this:
>>Silenced Pistol
***************
As Parchezzi heads down the long straightaway toward the scaffolding
then bring out your Silenced Pistol. Then either line up the
Crosshair at his head to fire one shot into it or put several rounds
into his back - your choice.
If you brought the SLP .40 .S Pistol then just drop it after you kill
Parchezzi - you won't need it anymore.
After Parchezzi is dead then it is time to:
>>Escape
******
From the West Wing rooftop then go back down to the 1st Floor and
back outside. Head back into the Main Building and to the West
Stairwell. Go back through the 1st Floor and to the East Stairwell.
Then go back through the Basement and to the East Wing.
Re-enter the Museum. If you brought the Silenced Silverballer then
head outside and store it inside the ICA Crate. Go back into the
Restroom and change back into your Suit. Then quickly exit back out
of the Restroom, go back outside, and to the Exit Point to
successfully complete the mission.

After the death of the Vice President, 47 is in his hideout cleaning up his
weapons. But somebody enters his hideout and he hides until he can
determine a course of action.
When he confronts the person then he finds that it is Diana. She warns him
that the Police are right outside and they need to find a way out and to
get at the people responsible for the demise of The Agency. She presents 47
a plan but he remains very skeptical. As he looks over the folder she has
just given him then she stabs him with a needle that contains a drug to
render him unconscious.
Later, she presents her findings to Jack who in turn welcomes her into The
Franchise. Together, along with Rick, they head off to the Church where a
memorial service is planned for the dead assassin.
And this sets up the last mission of the game.....

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>
The hard part to this mission was to figure out a way to minimize getting
shot at until you reach a safe place to ambush the Agents to get rid of
them and acquire better weapons. The problem with this strategy is that how
much, or how little, you get shot up at the beginning is random. Most times
you get shot up a little, sometimes you get shot up a lot, and sometimes
you won't get hit at all.
This is especially problematic at Professional difficulty since they can
kill you before you get too far most of the time. Even more annoying is the
fact that you have no body armor or standard items to help you.
I've tried to use the method of taking the Priest hostage but I have never
been able to make that work for me on a consistent basis so I went with the
"Run Like Hell to the Crypt" method.
It is especially important not to fire your Silverballers too much because
they take a very long time to reload and that is the last thing you need to
be doing when you are dealing by a bunch of Agents. If you find yourself in
a reloading situation with them in the middle of a firefight then you might
as well restart since you will be killed very quickly, especially at
Professional difficulty.
However, by going to the Crypt, you can Disarm and pick them off one by one
or in small groups when they try to confront you.
Even though it is somewhat irritating to play at Professional difficulty
this is a reasonably quick mission so it won't take too long to play
through even with multiple attempts.
And, by completing this mission on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions on any
difficulty, then you will acquire the "Redemption" Accomplishment.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>
There is one level to the Map and that is the Church Grounds. This unusual
looking Church has a set of stairs that leads to an underground hallway.
The main gates are to the west and the Point of Interest to the southeast
is a Crypt that contains several melee weapons: Shovel, Screwdriver, Hedge
Cutter, Hammer, and a Kitchen Knife.

| Mission Walkthrough \
0=======================================================>
When you begin the mission then you will be laying down and the credits
will start to play. Your screen will be fuzzy and everybody will move in
slow motion. Every few seconds you will hear a thump and your screen will
clear up for a little bit then go fuzzy again.
You're not dead, of course, you've just been given the same drug that you
gave Agent Smith in the mission "Flatline" and the kiss that Diana gave you
is the antidote to help you get out of your coma. But now you've got to get
up before the credits play out and you end up being cremated.
At this stage you will be facing south. Inside the Church are eleven
people - eight of them Agents. In addition, there are two more Agents
heading towards the cars outside.
To get up, rotate your Left Analog Stick to wake up 47 (On the PC version
you need to rapidly go through your movement keys). As he gets up then
things will clear up but you will still be in slow motion for a few
seconds.
As you get get up, turn left, and east, then run out of the open door. Do
not try to shoot at any of the Agents - there are too many of them to face
at once.
As you run out the door then angle right to use the wall as a shield from
the attacking Agents as you run southeast toward the glass wall. As you
near the glass wall then angle east alongside it. As you run east then you
should see a tree to your left. Angle northeast to get behind the tree so
you can use it as a shield from the Agents.
When you get to the small tombstone at the cliff edge then turn right and
go south along the east side of the Church. Stick close to the wall as you
proceed.
It should be noted that on Professional difficulty you may be left with
very little health or killed most of the time before you reach the next
corner. However, it is possible to have at least half of your health on
some attempts.
When you reach the next corner then continue straight and south while
sticking close to the wall of the Church. Turn right at the next corner and
angle towards the tree. Just before you get to the tree then turn south go
down the hill.
When you get down the hill then turn left and head towards the Crypt built
into the hill. When you get inside then you will find the weapons listed
above. If everything has gone right then you should still have plenty of
health left.
The Crypt is a safe place to deal with the Agents. They cannot open the
door and go inside so you can use it as a shield. The best thing to do is
wait for one of them to get real close to the door, quickly open the door,
then Disarm him and sidestep right so the other Agents cannot get a good
shot at you as you wait for the door to close.
When they are in a group then you will have to be careful when opening the
door. If you want to pick off an Agent then go into 1st Person Mode,
sidestep left or right, then quickly open the door, pick off one Agent,
then quickly close the door. This tactic will allow you to conserve your
health and ammo.
When you get your hands on either the SLP .40 Pistol or MP7 then use them
instead of the Silverballers.
Sometimes an Agent may have his back turned towards the door as he looks
around. Quickly open the door then push him in the back to knock him down
the small set of stairs in front of the Crypt and knock him out. If the
opportunity presents itself then knock out any Agent that you Disarmed so
you can clear the way for other Agents to get to the door.
Be patient and carefully pick off and knock out all of the Agents that
approach the Crypt. When you have dealt with most or all of them then leave
the Crypt but kill any that you have knocked unconscious. Then go around
the Church and carefully lure any Agents that remain to the Crypt.
When you get to the cars you may find at least one Agent in addition to
Jack. There is a high cliff northeast of their position. Go to this cliff
and carefully pick off the Agent first then Jack using the MP7 in short,
controlled bursts - go into 1st Person Mode for better aim. Even though you
can clearly see them they don't seem to know you're there.
If you're running low on ammo then you can try luring Jack to the Church.
Get close enough to him to make him start firing at you. Then run back into
the Church and go downstairs. When Jack finally enters the Church then he
will try to come down the stairs.
However, even though you saw him successfully go down the stairs in the
cutscene before the mission "Amendment XXV", he will die when he tries to
go down (he will be fatally bounced from his wheelchair). After he's dead
regardless then kill the unarmed Priest and Rick to successfully complete
the mission and the game.
