It's awesome. The best was once when I used it to take out an elusive target in Bangkok, when it blew up it tossed his body over the railing into the river and it gave me silent assassin lmao

It was blind luck but sometimes when the rag dolls freak out it can work out. Like having a subdued guy flip out over the ledge of a mountain and not die because the game didn't detect me 'dumping' him

It's tricky, I've definitely seen it work both ways without really knowing why Morgan did or did not pick up the phone.

I think if you can distract the body guard with a coin and time the ringing just right Morgan will grab it.

You could also take out the bodyguard beforehand if you wanna get creative

My favorite kill so far is the Jordan Cross one in his room with the laptop. That's some classic cold blooded assassin poo poo.

My only gripe is that you should be able to spin the camera around so you can just see your silhouette through the divider while you do it.

They must have changed that, he used to always eat one specific dish like 20 seconds into the map and you could poison it without a disguise

I'm trying to test something for my SASO run. Because if you use emetic poison on some of them he runs left to the garbage can, but I think the dish on the far right is closer to the bathroom in the east wing so I wanna see if he uses it. Would be an easy kill on Morgan.

a poison kill counts the same as accidents, you can use lethal poison

But you can't let bodies be found right? Even in accident kills?

If the kill is an accident it still counts toward silent assassin even if the body is found. I think you get less points overall though

My favorite kill so far is the rather easy one of straight doming Dahlia with your silenced pistol during the meeting as HELMUT loving KRUGER

like a one out of ten on the difficulty scale but that sort of style is just satisfying

Nah I'm just doing that for extra fun because I've gotten the mastery on nearly every map. I've had it on the default amount of stuff for the entire time and will turn them back on for the next elusive target.

That one is great because if you let Jordan Cross continue to beg, 47 eventually says something like "a contract is a contract." It's cold blooded on the level of smothering Beldingford with a pillow while his wife is next to him asleep in bed from Hitman Contracts.
