I've been pissing around trying to find a good method that'll work regardless of which way the congressman paths and I've been plagued with the SA indicator turning red when it shouldn't/not turning green when I delete footage.

The congressman is the easiest target in the game. I did the guru first, and part of my plan for him involved grabbing a mansion security disguise from the one guard who wanders in and out of the lawyer's office. With that disguise it was trivial to get into the mansion via Rocco's apartment, head down into the cellar, poison the glass and leave. Knocked a lot of people out in the lawyer's office, it wasn't the most elegant plan, but got SA on it anyway.

I mean a method that doesn't involve waiting around for him to drink poison.

Grab some extra weapons and a bodyguard/military disguise to carry them and drop them where his bodyguards will path into them. Then take out the bodyguards while they go to the security locker to stash the weapons. I also tried to poison the guru and he didn’t drink from the glass I’d spiked, so I had to clear the chandelier space to drop it on him....but then I saw the fire axe and I couldn’t resist. I forget sometimes how fun this game is when you let yourself improvise.

I've been having a lot more fun with ETs now that I've got my final SA suit. Completely screwed up dropping the chandelier on the guru and comically missed a headshot while peaking around the corner only to smash a window behind him. Second landed and I ran out unseen while everyone was freaking out. Going for SA is fine as a challenge now and then but I prefer salvaging screwups in this game, as also in my life.

I loving failed but at that point I was just glad to see it over and done with. Fifteen loving minutes of sitting and waiting for this rear end in a top hat to drink a glass of wine he was supposedly "guaranteed" to drink from, unable to restart because I'd dropped a chandelier on the other guy and somehow managed to lose silent assassin despite nobody loving seeing me do it.

I already got my 5 SA's for the suit so I just winged it. Knocked out everyone in the lawyer's office then snapped the Guru's neck when he came back from talking to his mark, got caught shooting the surveillance footage but I escaped by booking it to the hippy's room and taking his clothes. Stole a cook's outfit then went to Caruso's mansion, lured and knocked out all the Politician's guards, then threw a knife at him when he was looking over the railing and ran off to the boat

Yeah the illegal pistol thing wasn't even the worst part, it was dragging a guy a few feet, then dropping him to pull out the pistol to reset the timer, then picking him up again, etc etc. It was just incredibly tedious.

These do. I bumped, knocked out, and stashed one guard right as they entered the garage then dropped my gun in front of the bathroom and tossed a coin. House staff investigates, fetches the other bodyguard who also investigates and calls in a house guard to remove the gun. Either way it was a long enough distraction to syringe the ET and it doesn't take more than 20 seconds to set up. Then I drowned him in a toilet, but I suppose you could garrote him instead

Was that also the one where one of the exits had an animation that lasted longer than the six seconds, and your gun was automatically holstered while it played which caused you to fail the mission on exit?

Failed to get silent assassin in that ET for some reason. The UI marker thing turned red when I got spotted by a camera and then I took out the evidence so that shouldn't have voided it right? Must have gotten seen by someone after the cameras, maybe when I killed the guy with the chandelier.

Yeah, since turning that indicator on, I've noticed at least two bugs: sometimes clearing the footage doesn't remove being spotted by a camera (I didn't test but my feeling was it might be related to being spotted multiple times by the same camera?) and sometimes a guy would spot me while I was choking him out somehow.

I did get to that point multiple times with that happening so just assumed it was a visual bug or whatever, decided I couldn't be bothered to keep resetting and getting to that point. Plenty more ETs and I think I got the suit for Sapienza already anyway.

Oh alright, I only briefly did normal Sapienza in Hitman 2 for SASO (professional) to get some mastery back and didn't notice the car existed on the map regularly, because I followed some guide that used the seaplane exit. So my only reference was the current ET.

Stage 1: spend ten minutes setting up this elaborate kill. Stage 2: do it all over again but this time we've added something that would have done nothing to impede your first run. Stage 3: do it all over again, again, but now make sure you're dressed as a butler. Oh you already did that? Uh... congratulations!

1. one moderately easy kill 2. one easy kill on the route to kill #1 3. a third target to be killed in a specific way you spend 30 minutes luring towards the intended location.

1. Find all of Janus' clues. 2. Do the same but every person except for the key ones is a full-range enforcer. 3. The same but there are 47 balloons you also need to find and shoot. Each balloon makes a very loud noise on popping. Several are only reachable when you are really close to them, say, right under the top of the BBQ tent.

I've thought about this in the past, and while I don't have a firm ruleset in mind, I'd try to approach the Escalation concept slightly differently: 1) There would be a fair number of targets/objectives from the very first level. No starting small, but the reason for this is... 2) ...The number and complexity of targets does not change with each level. Instead, the rules completely change with each level such that you are always killing the same targets, but approaching the level in an entirely different manner. Tons of weird complications that shift gears wildly from step to step. You don't refine your strategy with each level, but instead must completely throw it out and come up with something new, even though the targets have not changed in any way. One level might be Rowdy Guns + Rapid Elimination Streak + No Moving Bodies or something, while another would be more about accidents and spotting restrictions. Interesting designs but with a lot of freedom. BUT THEN... 3) ...The final level would be absolute hell. All the worst, most sadistic complications together. More guards. More enforcers. All targets have bodyguards. All Trespassing areas are instead Hostile. More cameras ("reinforced" to be destroyable only by explosions), and the only evidence recorder still on the map is whichever is most inconvenient to get to (and it's being guarded by a few of the extra guards). Of course there are laser tripwires and a minefield that covers most of the level, and the disarm device is on one of the targets, whichever is the hardest to isolate and therefore the most difficult to retrieve it from. Forced start and exit locations that require you to traverse pretty much the entire map. The only upside? No target restrictions, unlike the previous two levels; you can kill them any way you want, which means setting off a propane accident kill or whatever is perfectly valid as long as you can engineer it. It would be a glorious clusterfuck, everyone would curse my name, and GuLe would still find a way to do it in under a minute. EDIT: By the by, if you're curious about that accident KO bug that makes all subsequent kills unnoticed, it does work with the rake. Nakar fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jun 15, 2019 |
