It tells her that he has a sample of her DNA so that he can use the virus against her, and his other enemies. He talks about using the virus against Ether and his enemies. Then she gets on the phone with Ether higher ups and starts to plan his accidental death once they are closer to completing the virus.

AND (I forget your name, sorry) someone found he's ALREADY made a lethal version of the virus with her DNA and hidden it in the mansion.

From the attic fall down the ladder hole and shoot the model ship. There's a vial containing the virus in there. Throw it anywhere near where she walks and it will kill her.

It's a little thing in a game loaded with little things but I think the thing I like best is that you don't have to complete the mission for challenges to save. You can complete them then immediately die or leave or whatever and it will stay completed. That's so nice compared to how most games do it.

Also jeez, even the two prologue missions have a lot of ways to tweak them. I haven't even loaded Paris yet. Definitely going to pick the whole thing up.

You're going to be pretty blown away by Paris if you think the prologue missions are detailed. It and the other major levels are a whole other league.

I have some questions here:

Why can everyone hear my gunshots over the fireworks? I'm trying to shoot the target by using them as a distraction from the second floor, except I can't aim over the balcony, and doing it from behind has the guard get instantly alerted to my silenced pistol and zero in on me.

Is there a way to know which guards will attack me for not being a black-suited guard? Half of them just wave and say hi.

How do I NOT punch someone out? Crouching and hitting X is just getting up and whaling on them.

e: Why does it take two shots to the head from the silenced pistol to kill someone?

e: I equip the garrote. I sneak behind the guy. I press "Garrote"....he punches the guy.

Got the first guy! I was able to sneak into a corner and get him, then walked past his bodyguard. The controls are a bit awkward but this is really fun.

Sometimes people can hear/see you through walls and stuff, its a little buggy and kinda sucks. I haven't had it happen too much but different people report issues at different places.

For the sniping during fireworks thing, have you noticed There's a secret little dock area outside if you go down the stairs in the garden? It lets you climb up a ladder to get on top of a crane, which is the perfect sniping vantage point, and nobody will notice. That said, they'll figure out more or less where the shot came from and come running so getting out after you snipe from there can be a little hairy, but I've managed to sneak out right under their noses and grab the helicopter exit

I don't know the exact thing you have to do but it's probably like the morgue start in Sapienza where it's linked to completing a specific challenge rather than mastery level.

I did not! I'll keep that in mind for later. I was also trying to just drop a bust on his head but it's impossible to aim blind lol. I did eventually get him by sneaking more. The real fun's going to be replaying and learning how it all works together.

I JUST found the model boat on accident yesterday, but some goons were coming through so I left it alone. That is insanely awesome. This mini series is awesome, and everything I have wanted in a Hitman game.

Yep. And as you unlock new starting positions and things as you complete challenges, it just saves you time and opens up even more options. Its pretty great how sandbox the levels are.

Which one? I only played Marrakech a pair of times and I don't know who he is.

I was just wasted near one hour following the general and trying different stuff because i imagined he would drink from the wine glass he has in his private office, but no dice. :(

Though it seems there is a way for him to eat something, he is waiting his favorite food from the market.

The guy sitting right outside the default starting location. :v:

As for the general:

You can poison his food before it gets delivered to his office. Head to the area with the protesters and go in the alley on the left (behind the camel statues). It's inside the shop with a green awning.

As an added precaution I tossed a remote explosive on a car at the other end of the parking garage. Blew that up, waited about 10 seconds for everyone to go investigate... no one even heard the shotgun go off.

I was disappointed by the level 5 restriction for that escalation though, I had already been meeting it the whole time :(

I noticed that not only there is one new mechanic (looking through holes in the wall) but two: when you disguise as officer (red beret) you can dismiss soldiers which moves them around.

Also, at first this scenario seemed focused in the school and consulate but not in the city itself. But there are more things to do in there than I believed at first.

And another one: if you are the masseuse, you can apparently offer random guys in the consulate massages. I didn't try it out because there was a dead guy on the table lol, but I guess it is a way to isolate and kill off specific people?

Blood Money is the one you really want, if you're interested in trying a previous game. Hitman 2 isn't BAD, but there are a lot of just plain bullshit levels that get in the way.

Absolution is, in my opinion, pretty much just a Hitman in name only.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
