fleshweasel posted:Any tips on the ET? I tried it last week and gave up after hanging around the dressing room and the catwalk for quite a while. I thought I saw him talking on the phone, but the face paint wasn't quite the same. I'm really not sure how to find him. I got him by spawning as stage crew, moved to stage left bathroom, overflowed sink to lure, ko, and hide auction staff slacking nearby. Then moved to dressing room to establish contact with target (who is most likely near Sato texting or by Helmut's picture poo poo talking by now). Once contact is established, wait until he walks, return to stage left bathroom and overflow as he exits the stage. Kill, hide, and evac after he cleans up. Don't forget the flash drive!

I'm ready to try professional mode I think. I'm a little unsure of how cameras work. Is it ok to be spotted by a camera as long as you're in an area-appropriate disguise at the time and delete the recording later?

They even have that white dot on the top of them, so if you're carrying something suspicious or illegal there's gonna be an alarm

Sapienza gives you an antique emetic syringe which means you can have two emetic syringes in your loadout or loadout + Agency Pickup.

The pathing for where an NPC vomits can be baffling. I've syringed people who are literally facing a toilet and they walk around a bit and then head for a nearby trashcan. Two lethal syringes per load out was totally worth it, but two emetic one? Meh.

I poked him with an emetic while he was waiting to go on stage and he not only went past the port-a-potty area but went into the tunnel bathrooms and then puked into the trashcan next to the sink and toilet. That would have been fine but I was specifically going for a drowning kill so I had to try again by poisoning his wine glass.

Is there really only one way to destroy the virus in "World of Tomorrow"? I've been working on "mastery" to get some unlocks, and while there seems to be a variety of ways to get the 2 targets (seriously, so many options), dressing up in a biohazard suit and messing with the terminals seems to be the only way to get rid of the virus.

There are three other methods: 1. Shoot a stalactite onto it. 2. Shoot the virus from outside the containment area. 3. Obtain a kill switch for it from a scientist visiting the church to mourn over a dead colleague.

Pretty much any dumb brute force solution works. I haven't tried getting one of the hazmat guys to pick up the explosive phone and carry it into the clean room, but I assume that would work too?

Huh, I've only ever done it by donning a hazmat suit and distracting the guys inside by messing with some consoles, and then killing the virus through the computer terminal there. Seems like the most stealthy way to do it.

There are many more people and doors you have to get by. Shooting it/the stalactite or using the dongle are much easier and faster, though they can require more forethought.

Snuffman posted:For these 2, I take it I need a AP round firing gun? Like the fancier Jager? Nah, I usually do 1 with the standard suppressed pistol and I've seen people do 2 with the same thing from that ledge up where that lone guard is on the other side of the lab. I don't think 2 works with the pistol in pro mode, but 1 still should.

You can still snipe it from the ledge in Pro mode, but I'd definitely take the baller for it or you'll be popping off quite a few shots hoping one hits

Lobok posted:Yeah, I realized that after my post. Guess my head went to the murderous option first. Can you snipe the water tank? I took out Marco from the church tower and while I was up there I wondered whether the glass would break if I shot it. Yeah, if you shoot it the water leaks out. It takes a little longer than turning the wheel though.

I guess if they really wanted to make instinct less of a crutch on Pro they could have it gradually deplete with use like it did in Absolution.

I got a non-target kill once in Paris in that hallway on the 2nd floor by the staircase. I lured a guard into the alcove and subdued him, and when I let go he somehow got sucked into the closed double doors, flopped around for a bit and died.

On my first Sapienza run I grabbed one of the remote explosives from the back of the lab, dropped it in the bin beside the virus (by using a hazmat disguise) and pulled a fire alarm so I could detonate it safely as I was leaving in the plane. ...Just shoot the stalactite.

The elaborate seat-of-your-pants plans that could go wrong at any moment are the fun stuff Highly effective straightforward stuff like shooting the stalactite is for when you're done playing around with a level and just want to get it done fast

I will say, the least fun part of the game for me is exiting a level. It's always a chore, even if I've hosed up and guards at shooting at me, but I can't think of a way to fix it.

Completed nearly everything in Landslide so now I've unlocked a firecracker. A Distraction item that holds people's attention for a while and it also doubles as a source of sparks to ignite anything flammable.Jay Rust posted:I will say, the least fun part of the game for me is exiting a level.

Except for challenges like SA that can only be achieved at mission completion, just restart from a save close(r) to when you started the mission. Otherwise, if you need to restart the level for whatever reason you can just choose Replan.

I recommend blowing the wall of the lab with a breaching charge- the route it provides lets you get out of the lab to other exits pretty cleanly with any disguise, if you use the pipe and knock out the two guards on the upper level.

That is pretty smart. But it still requires you to escape twice, which is specifically what I don't enjoy doing... It's my fault, probably, because I generally prefer slowly walking around like I'm roleplaying as The Smooth and Confident Hitman instead of running everywhere

Or if you don't want to use a loadout slot on the breaching charges, use the explosive golf ball. The louder explosion will draw some attention, but only briefly, and even then you aren't in any real danger of becoming suspicious unless you get spotted actually setting off the explosion. If for whatever reason you want to blow up the wall from the inside, there's a propane tank right there, and some remote charges are directly behind the virus biolab. Sometimes it's easier to start as the scientist in the lab and work your way back out from there to complete the assassinations, instead of having to path a route into the lab at the end of the mission.

About propane tanks, they are something scarce in pro mode in sapienza. Only one I've found in mansion grounds were in the gardening shed.

That reminds me; I completed Landslide recently with SA, and I was awarded the SA challenge in the post-mission screens, but the score screen only gave me four stars; it claimed I had missed "Never Spotted". Anyone know how that might have happened? It seems like a weird bug.
