There are five difficulty levels available in Hitman: Absolution game - Selecting difficulty level - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are five difficulty levels available in Hitman: Absolution game. Easy and Medium levels are regarded as a kind of introduction to the gameplay, while Hard, Expert and Purist levels were prepared for series veterans and players who are already familiar with basic mechanisms and are looking for more challenges. Difficulty level selection is as usual done at the very beginning, but the game allows you to change it directly during the gameplay. But be aware, that this is followed by two restrictions. First, change of the difficulty level means returning to the last checkpoint. Second, such changes can prevent you from obtaining some achievements.

Key features of different difficulty levels can be found in the following table (in bold we've marked changes in the difficulty level in relation to the previous one):

Recommendation: If Hitman: Absolution is your first contact with the series and/or you do not want the gameplay to become a real challenge, it is advisable to choose Medium difficulty level. You might ignore the Easy one, since you won't be able to complete additional challenges. If you know the Hitman saga perfectly and/or you want the gameplay to be more challenging, it is best to choose Hard or Expert difficulty level. I suggest choosing Purist difficulty level only after completing the game several times, where you'll perfectly know all missions.

While playing on Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty levels, you're able to use additional checkpoints - these are glowing sign on the ground. In order to activate such checkpoints, you have to approach it and press Interact key/button. Before activating checkpoints it is advisable to replenish your supplies, take a proper disguise and deal with all issues in previous area, so you won't have to return there in case you have to reload the mission.

On Expert and Purist difficulty levels there are no checkpoints. It means that you have to complete given mission fragment (separated by loading screens and scored separately) with one shot.

Hitman: Absolution is not linear, thus there are different paths leading to subsequent areas - Exploring the area - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Hitman: Absolution is not linear, thus there are different paths leading to subsequent areas. You can also get rid of main mission targets in different ways. In order to find different variants of behavior you might use your Instinct. If you play on Easy or Medium difficulty level, the game will occasionally show hints after activating Instinct (screen above). On higher difficulty levels hints are not available, but anyway you should use Instinct to locate interactive items and devices more quickly.

Every time you reach a new location, it would be good to spend some time on getting familiar with it. These preparations are primarily aimed at finding all possible passages and in that case I recommend to look for places which are not guarded (a good example would be ventilation shafts or buildings cornices). Getting familiar with given location may also be helpful in determining the hostile characters paths or marking places which are not accessible by default and require stealth actions or usage of the proper disguise.

Except of exceptional cases, where enemies hunt Hitman from the very beginning, they are usually neutral attitude to you - Opponents' alertness levels - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Except of exceptional cases, where enemies hunt Hitman from the very beginning, they are usually neutral attitude to you. But this neutrality may be very easy compromised. The most common reason for that is catching Hitman on entering the area, where he has no access to. Other reasons to alert guards is to making them suspicious while being dressed same as they and waking with your weapons pulled out. You have to remember all this, trying to operate out of hiding as long as possible, thus leaving opponents unaware of your actions.

Basically there are three levels of alertness of enemies. The yellow one is not necessarily associated with any troubles. It means that something caught the attention of your opponents, a car alarm for example or Hitman's disguise. The orange level is a bigger problem, since enemies with this alertness level obviously know that something is wrong. The red one is the worst of all possible variants, because Hitman is then attacked by enemies. It is worth mentioning that triggering alarms might be connected with one more difficulty - calling the support. As a result getting out of troubles might be even more difficult. Depending on how much enemies are alerted, you can count on this, that situation will calm down over time or you might be forced to eliminate them.

This, how you may remain hidden, is mostly dependent on objectives of given mission, but regardless of the situation, keep in mind a few important things - Staying in hiding - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This, how you may remain hidden, is mostly dependent on objectives of given mission, but regardless of the situation, keep in mind a few important things:

  • Try not to cause unnecessary confusion by avoiding contacts with enemies and not informing opponents about your actions as long as possible.
  • Keep special precautions during exploring areas, where uninvited characters are not welcomed.
  • Cover your tracks by dragging stunned or killed enemies to secluded places. You can find various cabinets and boxes where you can hide bodies, very useful.
  • Aim at obtaining proper disguises, so you could more confidently enter the restricted areas.
  • Use elements of the environment, hiding behind covers as often as possible and moving smoothly between them.
  • Use the area map as often as possible (if it is available) as well as Instinct, thus tracing enemies' actions and surprising them or avoiding them.

Disguises are very important part of the game, because thanks to them you can easier explore the inaccessible map areas or get closer to main mission targets - Using disguises - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Disguises are very important part of the game, because thanks to them you can easier explore the inaccessible map areas or get closer to main mission targets. But unfortunately there is one very important difficulty connected to disguises - Hitman can be exposed by those dressed the same way. Importance of this problem can be however somehow reduced. The first of proposed solutions is a skillful choice of disguise. For example, if you've reached a warehouse with ten guards and two mechanics, it is much better to get a mechanic outfit, thus reducing chances of encountering person dressed the same way. The second of mentioned simplifications is to use Instinct. Every time when there is a risk of being exposed, you might hold Instinct key/button, trying to hide your identity. Usage of this method is highly limited on higher difficulty levels, so you should use it only as a last resort.

You can get disguises in two main ways. The more obvious option is to obtain them from stunned or killed enemies. It would be best to change your clothes only after hiding the body in some secluded place. Occasionally you can also find disguises in different places.

Your main goal should be elimination of as few characters as possible and doing that as painless as possible - Ways to eliminate other characters - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your main goal should be elimination of as few characters as possible and doing that as painless as possible. So I recommend approaching your targets from behind, surprising them and not giving them any chance to fight back. What's interesting, the game allows you to choose whether you want to strangle your opponents or break his neck. Strangling allows you to keep your enemy alive but lasts longer so you have to make sure that you have enough time to finish the process. Breaking the neck lasts only few seconds but it is connected with another victim on your account. So if you do not care about keeping given person alive, it is strongly recommended using a garrote. This gadget has one more advantage - after killing the person with it, you do not have to pick up the corpse but you're able to drag it right away.

I strongly advise not to use melee weapons or elements of the environment, to inflict lethal blows in the head, because all such attacks are noisy and there is a big risk that you'll alert nearby enemies. You should also rarely rely on close combat, consisting on pressing on-screen keys/buttons. You could easily make a mistake here and the whole struggle might attract attention of other hostile characters in the area.

Elimination of opponents with usage of firearms is completely separate subject - Ways to eliminate other characters - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Elimination of opponents with usage of firearms is completely separate subject. First of all try to use weapons with silencers, thus reducing a risk of triggering an alarm. It is also vitally important to aim at head of your opponents, being sure that single shot will do the trick (enemies with headgear are fortunately rare).

Regardless of how you've eliminated your opponent, it is very important to get rid of the body. A big advantage is that almost every explored area has at least a couple of large crates and cabinets, which can be used in this purpose (each such object can contain two bodies at maximum). If the person was murdered, you might consider also throwing the body over the railing or dropping it in a hole.

When talking about elements of environment, I would like once again to emphasize the importance of different type of covers, which can preserve Hitman from being detected in countless situations - Using elements of environment - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When talking about elements of environment, I would like once again to emphasize the importance of different type of covers, which can preserve Hitman from being detected in countless situations. But that's not the only important matter. It is worth to mention mainly elements of environment, which can be used to distract opponents or even to get rid of them. In the first category we can list mainly radios and car alarms, so you should always look around closely to find any additional opportunities helping you in passing by enemies. When it comes to new ways of eliminating enemies, these are mainly proximity mines and remote-controlled charges, although in some locations you can find also a variety of devices (such as a live fence switch), which can be used to kill enemies (specific examples can be found in the game walkthrough).

A very interesting part of Hitman: Absolution is scoring system, motivating the player to complete subsequent missions in the least aggressive way and to stay hidden as long as possible - Scoring and challenges - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A very interesting part of Hitman: Absolution is scoring system, motivating the player to complete subsequent missions in the least aggressive way and to stay hidden as long as possible.

Positive score is obtained for:

  • completing objectives
  • staying hidden
  • collecting evidence (secrets)
  • hiding bodies of stunned/killed enemies
  • head shots
  • stealth kills
  • accomplishing signature kills (it is mainly about such kills, which use elements of environment in different ways, like poisoning the opponent)
  • playing on higher difficulty levels
  • completing additional challenges

Negative score is obtained for:

  • stunning important characters (when not necessary)
  • killing important characters (when not necessary)
  • stunning outsiders (more, if they are innocent civilians)
  • killing outsiders (more, if they are innocent civilians)
  • being spotted
  • triggering alarms

In conclusion, in order to achieve best possible score try to focus on remaining hidden and avoiding unnecessary confrontation and bloodshed. If you want to eliminate someone, try to only stun that character and then hide the body in the box or the closet. Also try to play on the possible highest difficulty level and complete the optional challenges obtained during the gameplay.

During completing each mission you can deal with additional challenges, which are associated with obtaining disguises, finding secrets, collecting weapons or dealing with main targets in different ways among other things - Scoring and challenges - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During completing each mission you can deal with additional challenges, which are associated with obtaining disguises, finding secrets, collecting weapons or dealing with main targets in different ways among other things. Many challenges require several tries to complete entire mission or its fragment, so do not be discouraged if most of challenges remains locked after you complete the given stage for the first time. Advance in completing challenges can be checked out both during the gameplay, as well as in the main menu.

During the game you can unlock various elements treated as a bonus game content - Bonus content - Tips - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During the game you can unlock various elements treated as a bonus game content. Your current progress can be checked from the main menu in the Unlocks section. Those can be divided in five main categories:

  • Weapons
  • Assassin Techniques
  • Disguises
  • Challenges
  • Play Styles

In case of weapons and disguises, it is best to look around for relevant object during completing the campaign mission for a single player. If you do not want to waste your time searching for missing objects, you can also buy them (screen above), spending dollars earned in Contracts mode.

Assassin Techniques are obtained by scoring high point results in main singleplayer campaign missions. Each unlocked technique upgrades Agent 47's skills, reducing for example recoil during shooting, making it easier to remain hidden or increasing speed during running.

Challenges are connected to subsequent missions in Absolution mode. A detailed description of all challenges can be found later on in this guide.

General objectives of the stage: Gardens is the first stage of Personal Contract mission, acting as a game tutorial. Your main goal is to infiltrate mansion's gardens, which are guarded by guards. After that you have to find a passage leading to the greenhouse.

Move straight ahead - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move straight ahead. After reaching the mansion's gate, choose a path located on the left. Be careful, because there is a single enemy in the area. It is best to sneak past him when he works with his equipment or stops near the mansion's gate. If you do not feel confident, you can divert the attention of this guide by picking up axe, brick or crowbar and throwing that object (not directly at the guard!). You can also stun or kill him and if you plan to play aggressively, I suggest approaching him from behind. It would be good to hide the body in a box but this is not absolutely necessary, because no one else will show up here.

Move forwards, following quite linear path - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move forwards, following quite linear path. Near gardens you should encounter two more guards and the big advantage is that they stand with their backs towards you. It means that you can completely sneak past them. If you plan to get rid of them, I strongly recommend hiding their bodies in nearby containers (on the tennis court for example), because later on someone can show up here.

There are two main paths leading to mansion's gardens - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are two main paths leading to mansion's gardens. The left one (screen above) shouldn't be guarded by anyone at the beginning, but if you linger, a single guard can appear here and walk towards the tennis court. I advise to choose this path, because it will be easier to avoid subsequent guards later on.

The right path (screen above) should be patrolled by at least one guard at the very beginning - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The right path (screen above) should be patrolled by at least one guard at the very beginning. You can get here from the tennis court or getting around the tennis court from the right side.

There are many enemies in gardens (even on lower difficulty levels) - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are many enemies in gardens (even on lower difficulty levels). What's more, many of them stand close to each other at the beginning. It means that it is best to avoid them, especially if you do not plan to quickly eliminate them in pairs.

The best way to safely walk through the garden is heading towards the left shed shown on the above screen - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best way to safely walk through the garden is heading towards the left shed shown on the above screen. Regardless of the difficulty level you should encounter there a single guard. A good way to distract his attention is usage of the throwing object (coffee mug or book), making him to go right.

Wait until the guard goes away and go left - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until the guard goes away and go left. Stop more or less at the place shown on the above screen. Also in that place you should eventually see two guards, regardless of the difficulty level.

Wait until enemies turn right during the conversation - Gardens - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until enemies turn right during the conversation. Move to the wooden bridge, turn left and quickly go to the entrance to the greenhouse shown on the above screen.

General objectives of the stage: Greenhouse is the second part of Personal Contract mission. Also this stage acts as a tutorial, trying to familiarize the player with disguises mechanism. Your goal is to walk through the greenhouse and approach the main part of the mansion.

Right after beginning of this stage, cover behind the nearest table (the one with filet knife) - Greenhouse - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Right after beginning of this stage, cover behind the nearest table (the one with filet knife). There should be two guards in the area and after a while one of them will start walking towards you. Eventually both of them should stop at railings and now you have to decide how to act. You can sneak past them or get each of them from behind. If you plan to use the second method, I suggest stunning at least one of them to get mansion exterior guard disguise. If you do not mind force solution, you can also push both guards, leading to their rapid death.

Move towards the greenhouse - Greenhouse - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move towards the greenhouse. If you have a guard disguise, you can continue right away. Otherwise I suggest looking around along your way for a gardener disguise shown on the above screen.

Approach the greenhouse - Greenhouse - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Approach the greenhouse. Prepare for a short test of using a disguise, because you have to remember that you can be exposed by people using the same elements of clothing. In this case you can be exposed by gardeners if you're disguised as one of them or by guards of you're wearing the guard's disguise. In order to stay camouflaged, press and hold Intuition key/button. Do not release it until you enter the green house and move away from them (this is very important on higher difficulty levels because enemies are then more sensitive to your actions).

The next step is to walk through the greenhouse - Greenhouse - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The next step is to walk through the greenhouse. If you're disguised as a guard, move to the left, walking past gardeners. If you're wearing gardener's clothes, move to the right, approaching guards.

Stop after reaching the greenhouse exit - Greenhouse - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stop after reaching the greenhouse exit. Do not approach talking guards but just interact with a valve shown on the above screen. Wait until irritated guards leave the greenhouse and follow them.

Carefully approach guards standing next to the cliff - Greenhouse - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Carefully approach guards standing next to the cliff. I strongly recommend not attacking them, especially that you can't push them as easily as previous enemies. So the best solution is to sneak past them, keeping on the right side of the stairs.

Move to the building edge shown on the above screen and press Interact key/button in order to

Move to the building edge shown on the above screen and press Interact key/button in order to "stick" to the wall. Move to the left and then lower down. You'll start the next part of the mission automatically (without entering the new location).

General objectives of the stage: Cliff is a third part of introductory Personal Contract mission. This stage is relatively short, but forces you to maintain certain precautions and encourages to exploring the area thoroughly in search of secret items.

Move successively to the left, passing two shutters on the way - Cliff - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move successively to the left, passing two shutters on the way. After reaching the end of the edge, grab the upper one.

Keep moving to the left, stopping at the shutter, where you'll see the guard - Cliff - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Keep moving to the left, stopping at the shutter, where you'll see the guard. If you're inpatient, then you can catch him and throw him out of the window, but it is better to wait until the guard finishes the phone talk and moves away from the window, Regardless of your choice, you have to go through the shutter.

Depending on how you behaved with the guard, who was staying at the shutter, you'll encounter here one or two characters - Cliff - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Depending on how you behaved with the guard, who was staying at the shutter, you'll encounter here one or two characters. It would be best to wait until enemies walk away and then sneak past them. If you want to get rid of them, it is best to do this when they are standing next to railings (e.g. pushing them).

Use the door leading to the security room and spend some time to look around - Cliff - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use the door leading to the security room and spend some time to look around. You can find there evidence (secret) and mansion interior guard disguise, which will be useful in the next stage.

After taking care of all issues, interact with laptop in order to disable security system - Cliff - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After taking care of all issues, interact with laptop in order to disable security system. Now you can head towards the door leading to the upper main of the mansion.

General objectives of the stage: Mansion ground floor is fourth and also most important part Personal Contract mission. The main goal of this stage is to obtain a keycard granting you an access to mansion. The keycard is in possession of the head of the security. This goal can be achieved of course in different ways.

First, let's talk about two vital issues - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

First, let's talk about two vital issues. Your current target is the head of the security, shown on the above screen (he wears a black suit and sunglasses). This character stays in the main mansion room by default and your goal is to obtain a keycard he has. Unfortunately you can't rely on pickpocketing so you have to somehow stun or kill the head of the security.

Another important issue is the initial disguise - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another important issue is the initial disguise. If, according to my suggestions, you've taken mansion interior guard disguise from the security room, you can continue on immediately. Otherwise you have to think, whether you want to risk with no disguise initially or get rid of one of nearby guards. If you choose the second option, I recommend neutralizing the guard standing on the upper balcony (screen above).

Mansion interior guard disguise is not the only available option, because you can also try to obtain chef disguise - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Mansion interior guard disguise is not the only available option, because you can also try to obtain chef disguise. You'd have to wait until the guard staying in the kitchen will be thrown out of it and then get rid of the cook. Depending on your preferences you can knock out this person (drop some sleeping pills into the soup pot - a place where to get them from is shown later in the text), stun or kill. Do not forget about hiding the body in the closet. The advantage of having chef disguise is that you can easily move around the ground floor.

Let's go to details - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Let's go to details. I strongly advice not to get into firefight with guards inside the mansion, because that would worsen your score and you could also be surrounded by them. Instead of that, it would be good to neutralize your main target in one of two ways. First method is to stun or kill the head of the security after he walks away from his subordinates. In order to implement this method, go to the upper floor, preferably using the stairs located to the left of the starting point (screen above).

Note a single guard patrolling the upper mansion balcony - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Note a single guard patrolling the upper mansion balcony. If you're going to get rid of him, it is best to wait until he goes to the bathroom and stun him there or kill him, hiding his body in the box. If you want to only distract his attention, use any throwable item (e.g. statue bust on the table), forcing him to move away from the railing.

The reason why you want to get closer to the railing is the possibility to use the nearby window blinds system - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The reason why you want to get closer to the railing is the possibility to use the nearby window blinds system. Opening it will alarm the head of the security, forcing him to check the source of problem and going to the upper floor.

It is beast to get rid of the head of the security when he walks the stairs (screen above), but try to attack him so that he won't be able to defend himself - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It is beast to get rid of the head of the security when he walks the stairs (screen above), but try to attack him so that he won't be able to defend himself. Depending on how many guards are still in the area, you can leave his body on the stairs or move it to the bathroom on the floor. Do not forget to take the keycard which will appear next to his body.

Another method of neutralizing the head of the security is to use sleeping pills - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method of neutralizing the head of the security is to use sleeping pills. The first step in this case is of course to obtain them. Use the previously mentioned stairs, getting to the vicinity of the upper balcony. Go to the bathroom, finding sleeping pills as shown on the above screen.

The next step is to apply sleeping pills into a coffee, which the head of the security is drinking from time to time - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The next step is to apply sleeping pills into a coffee, which the head of the security is drinking from time to time. A coffee mug can be found on the counter located on the ground floor, next to the mansion main room (screen above). The safest way is to approach it disguised as a chef. But if you're wearing guard disguise, approach the mansion main area from the kitchen and use Instinct or try to distract guards (e.g. with poker or radio taken from the kitchen), while you put sleeping pills into a coffee.

After that action you only have to wait until the head of the security drinks the coffee - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After that action you only have to wait until the head of the security drinks the coffee. He will then go to get some rest, sitting and falling asleep on the chair located next to the kitchen passage. Examine his body, looking for the keycard and then hide the body in a nearby closet.

Before you leave this place, you might look around for new evidence, located on the mansion ground floor, nearby the stairs more distant from the starting point - Mansion ground floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before you leave this place, you might look around for new evidence, located on the mansion ground floor, nearby the stairs more distant from the starting point. In order to use the keycard, you have to get to the door on the upper floor, shown on the above screen. If the local guard was not eliminated before, you might distract his attention somehow or wait until he goes to the bathroom. Use the keycard on the door scanner to load the next, last stage of this mission.

General objectives of the stage: Mansion second floor is the last, fifth stage of Personal Contract mission. In contrast to previous stage, you do not have to expect any problems here. Only meeting with Diana and elimination of several guards awaits you here. This will be the last part of the tutorial.

Follow a very linear path - Mansion second floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Follow a very linear path. You do not have to stop anywhere along your way, because you won't find any valuable items there. Eventually you have to reach the bathroom with Diana.

After resuming the gameplay, keep exploring the empty rooms - Mansion second floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After resuming the gameplay, keep exploring the empty rooms. Stop after reaching the room with four guards. Hide behind the cover shown on the above screen and prepare to hold a practice of using Instinct for easy marking and killing enemies.

Start with holding Instinct key/button, and then activate instinct shooting mode - Mansion second floor - 1: Personal Contract - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start with holding Instinct key/button, and then activate instinct shooting mode. You have to mark all enemies here. It is best to aim at their heads, to make sure that each shot is deadly. After successful action go to the door of the room, where Victoria is located. Wait until Hitman opens the lock, thus completing the first mission of the game.

General objectives of the stage: Chinatown square is the only stage of second game mission titled The King of Chinatown. The square is an extensive area, so you can get rid of the main target in many different ways. As a result, the walkthrough is divided into several separate subsections, covering subsequent steps and available behavior options.

You start the mission in unattended alley - Chinatown square - Locating the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start the mission in unattended alley. Follow the linear path until you reach the main part of the map, namely to the square. You do not have to sneak here, but be careful not to accidently jostle any policemen waling among the crowd, because that might force them to get interested with your character. Your target is a fenced area shown on the above screen, where the King of Chinatown stays, surrounded by bribed police officers.

Before you make any decisions, it is worth to take some time to familiarize yourself with

Before you make any decisions, it is worth to take some time to familiarize yourself with "daily plan" of the King of Chinatown. He will make a phone call to dealer, with whom he will meet later in order to buy drugs. In between meetings, your target is walking around the square, each time visiting exact same places.

I suggest scrolling down to subsection which interests you more:

  • Chinatown square - murdering the King of Chinatown - this subsection contains descriptions of all main ways of eliminating the King of Chinatown
  • Chinatown square - poisoning the King of Chinatown - this subsection contains descriptions of all variants of behavior associated with poisoning the King of Chinatown. That person will also die in this case but his death will be less spectacular.

General assumptions: This subsection contains descriptions of all main ways of eliminating the King of Chinatown.

The most obvious way to eliminate the King of Chinatown is killing him while he stays in the fenced area - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The most obvious way to eliminate the King of Chinatown is killing him while he stays in the fenced area. I definitely do not recommend this solution, because even if you use a gun with silencer or garrote, it is almost certain that you'll trigger an alarm and get the attention of all nearby policemen.

Far better idea is to kill the King of Chinatown in the side alley - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Far better idea is to kill the King of Chinatown in the side alley. If you play on Easy or Medium difficulty level, you just have to wait until two guards leave this area. If you play on higher difficulty level, you have to reckon with the fact that one guard permanently stays in the alley. So it would be good to get rid of this person earlier, stunning or killing him and then dropping the body into a container.

After the King of Chinatown stops in the side alley, make sure that he is not watched by anyone and only after that decide, how you want to get rid of him - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After the King of Chinatown stops in the side alley, make sure that he is not watched by anyone and only after that decide, how you want to get rid of him. Depending on your preferences you can use on him a garrote, a gun with silencer or shoot a chain of the platform above his head, leading to "an accident". Know, however, that the latter option will alert all nearby persons.

A few more ways of eliminating the King of Chinatown are associated with the use of explosives - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A few more ways of eliminating the King of Chinatown are associated with the use of explosives. Your target can be primarily killed by shooting one of the flammable tanks placed throughout the square. You can also find on the map a gasoline can, toss it near the fenced area and then detonate it with a shot.

Another possibility is to obtain remote explosives - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another possibility is to obtain remote explosives. These are located in a small weapon shed on the balcony near a luxury car belonging to the King of Chinatown. This place is guarded by a policeman (screen above), so you have to either distract him (by throwing a bottle for example) or wait until he starts a phone call. Then you can get him from behind with proper precautions.

After obtaining remote explosives, you can plant them in any location of your choice - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After obtaining remote explosives, you can plant them in any location of your choice. The advantage of this method is that you can detonate them from a safe distance, thus reducing the risk of exposing Hitman.

Since we're talking about a side alley with a car of the King of Chinatown, parked there, an interesting option is activating a car alarm - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Since we're talking about a side alley with a car of the King of Chinatown, parked there, an interesting option is activating a car alarm. It will force your target to go to this alley. Wait until the King of Chinatown approach the car and then shoot explosive barrels located behind the car.

A risky way of murdering the King of Chinatown is pushing him into a hole, specifically to into the one shown on the above screen (it is located near the booth at the other side of the square) - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A risky way of murdering the King of Chinatown is pushing him into a hole, specifically to into the one shown on the above screen (it is located near the booth at the other side of the square). You have to wait until the King of Chinatown approach the hole and push him (Interact key/button). Unfortunately, there is permanently at least one policeman in the area, so you have first to distract him or be aware of fighting him right after the main action.

The last of main ways of neutralizing the King of Chinatown is using a sniper rifle - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last of main ways of neutralizing the King of Chinatown is using a sniper rifle. This is unfortunately quite complicated process, because first you have to get to the apartment belonging to a dealer. A path leading to the proper building is located on the right of the fenced area and it is shown on the above screen. On lower difficulty levels, there is only one policeman stationing there, but on higher difficulty levels you'll encounter there at least three officers.

An access to dealer's apartment can be obtained in several different ways - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An access to dealer's apartment can be obtained in several different ways. If there is only one guard to be sneaked by, it is best to sabotage a right fuse box. Otherwise you might get Chicago policeman disguise (e.g. by eliminating a cop in the alley with the car) and then use Instinct to cover your face. You can also wear dealer disguise - a way to obtain it is described in the next subsection, associated with poisoning the King of Chinatown.

Regardless of your actions, after getting to the dealer's apartment, look around in search for Kazo TRG sniper rifle (should lie on the table) - Chinatown square - Murdering the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of your actions, after getting to the dealer's apartment, look around in search for Kazo TRG sniper rifle (should lie on the table). Then move to one of shutters (only the left one is open) and wait for the right moment to shoot. Note - using the sniper rifle will alert all nearby enemies, so hide inside the closet as fast as you can. Also keep in mind that reaching the evacuation point may require killing of at least several policemen.

General assumptions: This subsection contains descriptions of all variants of behavior associated with poisoning the King of Chinatown. That person will also die in this case but his death will be less spectacular.

If you plan to poison the King of Chinatown, first you have to obtain appropriate poison - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you plan to poison the King of Chinatown, first you have to obtain appropriate poison. Examine booths located on the right of the fenced area, stopping in place shown on the above screen.

A poison you're looking for is fugu fish and note that it is watched by one of market vendors - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A poison you're looking for is fugu fish and note that it is watched by one of market vendors. So you have to wait until mentioned person turns around. But this is not the only problem, because at least one policeman is looking there from time to time. Try to quickly pick up the fish and withdraw, so you won't be caught stealing.

Obtained poison can be used in several different places - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Obtained poison can be used in several different places. A first variant is poisoning sushi. Go to the other end of the square and locate a booth with interactive food plate shown on the above screen. WAIT until the market vendor walks away (you can't get caught by him) and then decide to poison the food. Now you have only to wait until the King of Chinatown appears here, to taste the food.

Another variant is poisoning coffee and it is more complicated because a coffee mug is located in the fenced area - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another variant is poisoning coffee and it is more complicated because a coffee mug is located in the fenced area. You have to obtain Chicago policeman disguise or dealer disguise (the way of obtaining it is described later on). Move to the mug (screen above), poison the coffee and wait for the King of Chinatown.

The last available variant is poisoning drugs, but in this case the death of the King of Chinatown can be caused in two ways - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last available variant is poisoning drugs, but in this case the death of the King of Chinatown can be caused in two ways. First method involves keeping alive the dealer, who sell drugs to your mission target. Look around the square and locate stairs shown on the above screen. Go down the stairs and use the fugu fish to poison drugs hidden next to containers.

Now you have to wait until the King of Chinatown meets the drug dealer twice - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you have to wait until the King of Chinatown meets the drug dealer twice. After the first meeting the dealer will go to get drugs poisoned by you. He will then return with poisoned drugs to the fenced area, meeting the King of Chinatown for the second time. After that meeting the King of Chinatown along with the dealer will go to a nearby building to check drugs. You do not have to follow them but only to wait until the King of Chinatown dies after taking drugs. The disadvantage of this method is that death of your target will alert the dealer.

Another method involves taking over the identity of the dealer and it is best to do it after the King of Chinatown and the dealer meet for the first time (you do not have to worry, that your target will be suspicious with the fact of meeting someone else) - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method involves taking over the identity of the dealer and it is best to do it after the King of Chinatown and the dealer meet for the first time (you do not have to worry, that your target will be suspicious with the fact of meeting someone else). Wait until the dealer after the first meeting with the King of Chinatown goes to get drugs. Go down the stairs and depending on your preferences, stun or kill him. Hide the body in the container and put on dealer disguise.

Now go to the dealer's apartment, choosing the path shown on the above screen - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now go to the dealer's apartment, choosing the path shown on the above screen. You do not have to worry about policemen stationing there, because they won't stop you.

After getting inside the apartment, examine drugs shown on the above screen, located in the table next to the window - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting inside the apartment, examine drugs shown on the above screen, located in the table next to the window. You have of course to poison them.

Return to the fenced area and wait for the King of Chinatown - Chinatown square - Poisoning the King of Chinatown - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the fenced area and wait for the King of Chinatown. Listen to the conversation, during which your target wants to check drugs. Move to the dealer's apartment, but do not rush, so the King of Chinatown won't be lost along the way. After reaching the apartment, wait until your target takes drugs poisoned earlier.

General assumptions: Leaving the mission location is required to complete it. You should have no problems with that, unless you've triggered alarm in the meantime.

Leaving the mission area should be of course done only after killing or poisoning the King of Chinatown - Chinatown square - Leaving the square - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Leaving the mission area should be of course done only after killing or poisoning the King of Chinatown. But before you do this, I suggest completing one more optional actions - obtaining evidence located in the fenced area. It can be safely obtained only after putting on Chicago policeman disguise (do not forget to use Instinct to cover your face) or dealer disguise (you do not have to hide).

The exit from the square is located on another end - Chinatown square - Leaving the square - 2: The King of Chinatown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The exit from the square is located on another end. This is a door at the end of alley, where the King of Chinatown was stopping from time to time. Open the door to officially end the mission.

General objectives of the stage: Terminus Hotel is the first stage of Terminus mission and its main goal is to get to one of elevators going to of the buildings. Before making any specific decisions, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the hotel, side alleys and its basement.

Move to the hotel - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move to the hotel. After reaching the destination, it turns out that of the building were rented by Blake Dexter and the entire area is guarded by Hope goons, who do not allow anyone to use the main elevator. It is worth noting, that even before entering the building you can activate an alarm on a car parked next to the entrance (screen above). It will lure out one of the enemies to investigate the problem and you'll be able to obtain Hope goon disguise. But I do not recommend this solution especially that the same disguise can be easily obtained without attacking anyone.

Enter the hotel and look around the lobby, remembering not to approach stairs leading to the elevator (unless you plan to fight enemies) - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Enter the hotel and look around the lobby, remembering not to approach stairs leading to the elevator (unless you plan to fight enemies). On the left from the lobby you'll find toilets and this is also a good place to surprise armed enemy and take Hope goon disguise. But in this case make sure that none of hotel guests, who can appear in the toiled, will notice you.

On the right from the lobby you'll find apartments and other areas inaccessible to you initially - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the right from the lobby you'll find apartments and other areas inaccessible to you initially. As a result it is best to explore them only after obtaining a good disguise.

I would recommend getting to the hotel's back in one of two ways - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I would recommend getting to the hotel's back in one of two ways. The first method is to use a ventilation shaft located in the toilet (screen above). The second method is to go to the corridor located left from toilets' entrance. In this case, after getting near a janitor and a thug it is best to use the open left shutter and then go along the side alley, reaching the door leading back to the building.

Both variants described above will lead you to a laundry room - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Both variants described above will lead you to a laundry room. You should mainly look around here for Hope goon disguise, shown in the above screen.

I recommend staying in the laundry room for few more moments because sooner or later a janitor will appear here (you do not have to hide from him) - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I recommend staying in the laundry room for few more moments because sooner or later a janitor will appear here (you do not have to hide from him). A good idea is to neutralize this person in order to obtain janitor disguise. If you play on one of higher difficulty levels then you should perform this action with proper precautions because the adjacent room should be in this case patrolled by a single goon and you should avoid being noticed by him.

Other rooms on the ground floor are not so important - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Other rooms on the ground floor are not so important. The only exception is hotel manager's room shown on the above screen, because you can find there evidence. Collect it of course.

In addition to the hotel, you should also get interested in an alley shown on the above screen - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In addition to the hotel, you should also get interested in an alley shown on the above screen. It is located right from the hotel. If you do not have any disguise or you have Hope goon disguise, you have to be careful not to be caught. If you have janitor disguise then you can explore the alley with no problems. Regardless of your disguise, you should take a closer look at local electrician. You can wait for a good moment and get rid of him, obtaining electrician disguise. In my opinion however, it is far better moving around disguised as janitor.

General assumptions: Exploration of the basement is not required but highly recommended, because it will be the easiest way to get later to from here.

You can get inside the basement in several different ways - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the hotel's basement - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get inside the basement in several different ways. The first method is using the sewer descent shown on the above screen. It is located left from the main hotel door. The descent is not guarded by anyone but further part of sewers is patrolled by at least one goon, so either you have to avoid him or have a proper disguise (janitors and electricians have a full access to the basement).

Another basement entrance is located near the previously mentioned side alley, right from the hotel building (screen above) - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the hotel's basement - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another basement entrance is located near the previously mentioned side alley, right from the hotel building (screen above). What's interesting, in order to get there you do not have to move through the area guarded by at least two goons, because you can also use the shutter in a flat (the one adjacent to the hotel lobby) and lower down after getting to the ledge.

Yet another option is to use the hole shown on the above screen, which is located in the laundry room (the one where you can get Hope goon disguise and eventually get rid of the janitor) - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the hotel's basement - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Yet another option is to use the hole shown on the above screen, which is located in the laundry room (the one where you can get Hope goon disguise and eventually get rid of the janitor).

The last of available options to get into the basement is to locate main stairs leading down there, which can be found at the back of the hotel, on the ground floor - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the hotel's basement - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last of available options to get into the basement is to locate main stairs leading down there, which can be found at the back of the hotel, on the ground floor.

During exploration of the basement you have to keep all possible precautions because you can be very easily exposed - Terminus Hotel - Exploring the hotel's basement - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During exploration of the basement you have to keep all possible precautions because you can be very easily exposed. There are many goons and electricians inside, with fewer janitors. So it would be good to obtain janitor disguise earlier, though, of course even then you have to watch out, carefully observing the surroundings before carrying out next steps.

General assumptions: Upper hotel floors can be reached only by using one of two elevators. Usage of each of them is of course described in details.

Hitman can use one of two elevators - Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Hitman can use one of two elevators. More obvious solution is using elevator located in the main lobby. But unfortunately it is not a good idea, because this elevator is guarded by goons.

If, despite my warnings, you want to use this elevator, I suggest obtaining Hope goon disguise or electrician disguise (janitors are not allowed to get close to this elevator) - Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If, despite my warnings, you want to use this elevator, I suggest obtaining Hope goon disguise or electrician disguise (janitors are not allowed to get close to this elevator). This is not all of course, because you have to use Instinct to cover your face and wait few seconds for the elevator after pressing button. I recommend using this solution only when you play on lower difficulty levels, because on higher difficulty levels you'll probably have not enough Instinct to stay undetected for such long time.

Less obvious solution is using the elevator located in the basement (screen above) - Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Less obvious solution is using the elevator located in the basement (screen above). Also in this case you have to wait few seconds until the elevator comes down after pressing a button, so proper preparations are crucial.

The safest approach to the elevator located in the basement is janitor disguise - Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The safest approach to the elevator located in the basement is janitor disguise. I also suggest using the hole located in the laundry room, because after reaching the basement, regardless of difficulty level, you'll encounter there only one other janitor, so it will be easy to avoid getting into his field of view.

If you do not have janitor disguise or you want to distract enemies in another way, you can also sabotage the fuse box located near the elevator (screen above) - Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not have janitor disguise or you want to distract enemies in another way, you can also sabotage the fuse box located near the elevator (screen above). This behavior is strongly advised if you have electrician disguise, because one of them will come later to check the sabotaged box.

The most radical option to distract enemies has two parts - Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The most radical option to distract enemies has two parts. You have to start by finding a generator in the basement and start it. After that locate a lever shown on the above screen and pull it. Pulling the lever will result in giving a shock to characters in flooded part of the basement. Quite obvious disadvantage of this method is that you can kill other persons, with innocent victims among them (e.g. one of electricians).

General objectives of the stage: Upper floors is the second stage of Terminus mission, longer that the previous one. Exploration of new area starts on the seventh floor. In order to complete the mission, you have to find a way to get to the eighth floor and then reach the room 899.

Regardless of whether you enter the elevator in the main lobby or the one in the basement, you'll reach the seventh floor - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you enter the elevator in the main lobby or the one in the basement, you'll reach the seventh floor. If you're in janitor disguise or electrician disguise, you do not have to worry. But if you're using Hope goon disguise, you have to get out of sight of nearby bandits as fast as you can (use Instinct to cover your face). If you have no disguise at all, keep in mind that you can get attacked after leaving the elevator.

If Hitman needs a new (or better) disguise, I suggest getting to the storeroom left from the elevator - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If Hitman needs a new (or better) disguise, I suggest getting to the storeroom left from the elevator. A maid stops often at the entrance to the storeroom, so wait until she walks away and only then get inside. If you do not want to wait for the maid, go to the nearby toilet and get inside the storeroom through a ventilation shaft.

Inside the above mentioned storeroom you can find janitor disguise on one of shelves - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Inside the above mentioned storeroom you can find janitor disguise on one of shelves. A big advantage of this disguise is that there are no other janitors on a seventh floor (maids are not in this group), so no one will expose you. There is also a movie reel inside the storeroom and although obtaining it is not required, it might be useful later in the mission (after getting to the eighth floor).

I suggest starting exploration of the seventh floor for good only after you make sure, that you have a disguise, which won't be recognized by anyone (janitor or electrician) - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I suggest starting exploration of the seventh floor for good only after you make sure, that you have a disguise, which won't be recognized by anyone (janitor or electrician). Main corridors are accessible for everyone and you can encounter there maids and bandits. If you plan to get rid of Hope goons, pay attention to garbage chute located on the wall of one of the corridors (screen above). It is a good place to dispose of bodies, but only if do not mind killing enemies.

The seventh floor has a few inaccessible areas - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The seventh floor has a few inaccessible areas. It is a hotel room which is a crime scene (screen above). There is a maid inside and if she notices you, she will raise the alarm. The main goal of exploring this area is finding a switch which activates fire alarm and this is described in next section of this guide.

The area is also inhabited by hotel guests - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The area is also inhabited by hotel guests. Room 704 is the one with arguing couple (screen above). You can find there a keycard and it is best to obtain it after mentioned characters walk away (use Instinct to monitor their actions). It is also worth noting that you can reach this room also from outside through the open shutter, getting there from the ledge.

In the room 702 (screen above) stays a single man - Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the room 702 (screen above) stays a single man. He is alternately talking to the main and on the phone. Also in this room you can find a keycard. Same as previously, you can get inside through the door or from the shutter. The last of rooms reserved for guests is the one with music coming from and this is discussed in more details later in this guide.

You can reach the eighth hotel floor in three main ways - Upper floors - Getting to the eighth floor - 3: Terminus - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current task is to gain an access to the elevator, which is guarded by a large group of policemen regardless of the difficulty level. The key to success is to distract them (I do not recommend using Instinct after putting on disguise, because after calling an elevator you have wait for it). A central room shown on the above screen can be ignored because there is nothing interesting inside, except for two cops.

The first way to distract policemen is opening a safe located on this floor - Shangri-La - Getting to the elevator - 4: Run For Your Life - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first way to distract policemen is opening a safe located on this floor. You have to reach two connected rooms shown on the above screen, located to the right from the elevator (so close to a path leading from the marijuana field).

A much better idea is to head to the left door - Train station - Getting to train station - 4: Run For Your Life - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better idea is to head to the left door. A nearby corridor is patrolled by only one cop on all difficulty levels, so it is worth to hide behind a cover.

General objectives of the stage: Courtyard is the first of as many as seven stages Hunter and Hunted mission. The main objective of this stage is to pass the titled courtyard guarded by police officers in order to get to the Vixen club.

Start with the linear path, passing by a vagrant who is no threat for you - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start with the linear path, passing by a vagrant who is no threat for you. You can also look around for a bottle or a metal pipe. Stop only when you reach a corridor with two cops. Regardless of chosen difficulty level you should stay away from them because sneaking past them might be very risky.

If you play on one of lower difficulty levels, there will be one additional opponent in the area - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on one of lower difficulty levels, there will be one additional opponent in the area. You can find him inside a left room, behind some kind of a shrine.

On higher difficulty levels you have to expect one more policeman here, patrolling the corridor adjacent to the one with two cops mentioned earlier - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On higher difficulty levels you have to expect one more policeman here, patrolling the corridor adjacent to the one with two cops mentioned earlier. I suggest neutralizing one of described officers, so you can obtain Chicago policeman disguise and make it easier not only in the rest of this stage, but also in the next one.

Ultimately you have to reach to the stairs shown on the above screen, leading to the courtyard - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Ultimately you have to reach to the stairs shown on the above screen, leading to the courtyard. Note - on higher difficulty levels you might expect a single cop walking towards you. If this happened, hide in the side room and wait until he walks past you.

Move to the courtyard and spend some time to get to know with the situation - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move to the courtyard and spend some time to get to know with the situation. Also in this case, the selected difficulty level plays an important role - on lower difficulty levels there will be only few enemies in the area but on higher difficulty level you'll have to face a fairly large group of them. I suggest starting with moving to the police car parked on the left.

In the area you can find first evidence - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the area you can find first evidence. It lies on the hood of the police car parked in the center of courtyard - the one with the engine off (screen above). In order to get to the mentioned secret you have to use a disguise and Instinct, but you can also throw a bottle or any other item to distract policemen.

Do not try walking to the passage guarded by a single policeman - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Do not try walking to the passage guarded by a single policeman. Instead of this carefully move to the left, stopping at a small wall (screen above). Depending on the difficulty level, you'll see one or two cops in front of you.

Patiently wait until officers turn around, quickly jump over the wall and head straight ahead - Courtyard - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Patiently wait until officers turn around, quickly jump over the wall and head straight ahead. Sneak past cops, reaching the edge shown on the above screen. Climb down as fast as you can, reaching a safe place near the stairs. Now you have only to unlock the passage to next stage.

General objectives of the stage: The Vixen Club is the second stage of Hunter and Hunted mission. It is much longer and more complicated than the previous one, focusing your attention on elimination of Dom Osmond. Before you start any concrete actions, you'll have to get inside the club.

It doesn't matter whether you choose a left or right exit from the building, because sooner or later you'll get to the Vixen club entrance - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It doesn't matter whether you choose a left or right exit from the building, because sooner or later you'll get to the Vixen club entrance. It is worth spending a few moments here to determine how you want to get inside. This can be done in three main ways.

The first option is to use the main club entrance - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first option is to use the main club entrance. It is possible by default only if you have Chicago policemen disguise, and that's because officers have full access to the main area of the club.

If you do not have a proper disguise, you can obtain one - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not have a proper disguise, you can obtain one. Wait until local policeman ends the conversation with bouncers and go to the near alley. You have to surprise him there by stunning/killing him. After that hide his body and put in his clothes.

The second method is walking through ventilation tunnels - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second method is walking through ventilation tunnels. In this case you have to start near the start place. Explore the building, looking for an entrance to the first shaft (screen above).

After leaving the tunnel go through another one (screen above), which will lead you to the security booth inside the club - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After leaving the tunnel go through another one (screen above), which will lead you to the security booth inside the club. Now you have to only carefully walk past local workers, without being spotted.

The third variant is reaching the open shitter located on the first floor - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third variant is reaching the open shitter located on the first floor. In order to get this plan into life, start on the left from the main club entrance, finding an interactive ledge. Climb it up.

Start moving to the right, stopping at the open shutter shown on the above screen - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start moving to the right, stopping at the open shutter shown on the above screen.

Once you get inside, carefully explore the entire room - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside, carefully explore the entire room. You can find here evidence, a keycard and silenced gun. You should especially get interested in two last items, because you might find them useful later in this stage.

All methods described above, will let you get to the main corridor leading inside the club - The Vixen Club - Getting inside the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

All methods described above, will let you get to the main corridor leading inside the club. Use it, reaching your target after few moments.

General objectives of the stage: The second part of The Vixen Club stage is most important, because it concerns the way of eliminating Dom Osmond. As usual for this type of situation, the game will offer you several options for realizing this plan.

Dom Osmond can be found behind the bar by default (screen above), but it is not worth to attack him in a public place of course, because this will lead to a panic in the club plus all bodyguards will pay attention at Hitman - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Dom Osmond can be found behind the bar by default (screen above), but it is not worth to attack him in a public place of course, because this will lead to a panic in the club plus all bodyguards will pay attention at Hitman. But fortunately Dom moves between club's different areas, what opens number of options to eliminate him without exposing the Agent 47.

The first opportunity to silently eliminate Dom appears after he meets with one of dancers - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first opportunity to silently eliminate Dom appears after he meets with one of dancers. You have to use the passage shown on the above screen, leading to private booths. If you use Chicago policeman disguise, you can move further right away. Otherwise you have to try to sneak in or obtain strip club bouncer disguise. In this situation I would recommend knocking down a bouncer who is in the toilet.

Once you get to the new place, turn right - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to the new place, turn right. I do not recommend shooting Dom through covers. Instead of that you should get into a right booth shown on the above screen. You have to use here a keycard, obtained in the room on the floor or taken from one of neutralized bouncers.

Stand at the mirror but DO NOT ATTACK Dom yet - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stand at the mirror but DO NOT ATTACK Dom yet. Wait until "the show" ends and the dancer leaves the booth. Your target should then make a call and only then I suggest attacking him. Try to use silenced gun (e.g. taken from the room on the floor), so you won't alert nearby characters. After the action you might hide Dom's body in the crate.

The second opportunity related with attacking Dom appears when he goes to the toilet - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second opportunity related with attacking Dom appears when he goes to the toilet. A corridor leading to toilets is located near the bar. You have to watch out here on higher difficulty levels because there will be two cops here then. One of them stands still but the other one walks from between toilet and a bar table from time to time.

After you get to the toilet, you'll encounter a single bouncer there - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After you get to the toilet, you'll encounter a single bouncer there. You have to think what to do with him now, because one Osmond appears here, the toilet will become inaccessible for anyone from the outside. As a result you can stun/kill the bouncer or hide in the nearby closet.

Wait until Dom appears in the toilet and attack him by a surprise - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until Dom appears in the toilet and attack him by a surprise. It is best to use garrote or silenced pistol. After the action you might hide his body in a closet.

The third opportunity to kill Dom is connected with faking an accident in the area with a bachelor party (screen above) - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third opportunity to kill Dom is connected with faking an accident in the area with a bachelor party (screen above). This area is located left from the entrance to the main club area.

Use a keycard (obtained from the room on the floor or taken from one of the neutralized bouncers) on the right key-scanner - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use a keycard (obtained from the room on the floor or taken from one of the neutralized bouncers) on the right key-scanner. Do not get inside too early because the local corridor is patrolled by a bouncer.

You can get into back room only after you see Osmond appearing - The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get into back room only after you see Osmond appearing. Wait until your target place himself under the disco ball and press the button shown on the above screen. A ball should fall on Dom and kill him. Do not try to hide his body in this case but get out of the club as fast as possible.

General objectives of the stage: The last part of The Vixen Club stage in the Hunter and Hunted mission is very short. It completely focuses on getting out of the club after successful elimination of Dom Osmond.

In order to leave the club you have to get to the back room and you can achieve it in two different ways - The Vixen Club - Getting out of the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to leave the club you have to get to the back room and you can achieve it in two different ways. First method is to use a locked door located left from the starting place (the area with bachelor's party). In order to unlock this door you need a keycard, which can be found on the first floor or by body of one of neutralized bouncers or Osmond.

After unlocking the door turn right, reaching a corridor patrolled by a single bouncer - The Vixen Club - Getting out of the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After unlocking the door turn right, reaching a corridor patrolled by a single bouncer. It is best to sneak past this person, because it would be very hard to neutralize him without triggering an alarm. It is also good to explore the area, finding another silenced gun among other things.

The second method is to use the door located near private booths for guests - The Vixen Club - Getting out of the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second method is to use the door located near private booths for guests. There is a single bouncer patrolling the area but you can neutralize him easily (leave his body here because no one else will appear in this place) or wait until he walks away.

Both paths described above will allow you to get closer to the stairs leading to the first floor of the club (screen above) - The Vixen Club - Getting out of the club - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Both paths described above will allow you to get closer to the stairs leading to the first floor of the club (screen above). Unfortunately these stairs are observed by a single guard. So you have to use strip club bouncer disguise and hide your identity or use a throwable object to distract him. Regardless of how you behave, at the end interact with a lock in the door on the floor, ending the stage after few moments.

General objectives of the stage: Dressing Rooms is the third out of seven stages of Hunter and Hunted mission. This stage is not particularly long, but completing it on higher difficulty levels might be a bit problematic. The main objective is getting to the office room located on the upper floor.

If you play on one of lower difficulty levels then you'll encounter only single bouncer in the area and he will stay at the pool table - Dressing Rooms - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on one of lower difficulty levels then you'll encounter only single bouncer in the area and he will stay at the pool table. On higher difficulty levels you'll have to be prepared to deal with two more enemies and in this case you should wait until they finish their conversation and walk away.

Your current objective is to get to the upper floor and this can be achieved in two ways - Dressing Rooms - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current objective is to get to the upper floor and this can be achieved in two ways. I do not recommend main stairs because you would have to hide your identity while being dressed in strip club bouncer disguise.

It is much better to get to the smaller staircase - the one which is patrolled by one of previously mentioned bouncers (on higher difficulty levels) - Dressing Rooms - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It is much better to get to the smaller staircase - the one which is patrolled by one of previously mentioned bouncers (on higher difficulty levels).

On lower difficulty levels you shouldn't encounter anyone on the floor - Dressing Rooms - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On lower difficulty levels you shouldn't encounter anyone on the floor. On higher difficulty levels you'll see here probably three guards. A good method to avoid them is walking through the bedroom shown on the above screen, but be careful because one of opponents might check it from time to time.

Your current target is a room shown on the above screen - Dressing Rooms - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current target is a room shown on the above screen. If you play on higher difficulty levels you have to wait until it is not guarded or distract enemies with any throwable object.

After getting inside mentioned office room, head to the desk and interact with a phone there - Dressing Rooms - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting inside mentioned office room, head to the desk and interact with a phone there. Note - on higher difficulty levels you may encounter a single enemy in the room, so make sure that it is safe before you get inside.

General objectives of the stage: Derelict Building is a fourth stage of Hunter and Hunted mission. It is very similar to the previous one in terms of its length and complexity. This time your task is to cross the ruined building while avoiding police officers.

Start exploring the building, carefully approaching a place with largest group of enemies - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start exploring the building, carefully approaching a place with largest group of enemies. Watch out if you play on higher difficulty levels because nearby corridors might be patrolled by additional cops with flashlights.

I do not recommend moving towards previously mentioned groups, unless you wear Chicago policeman disguise and play on one of lower difficulty levels - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I do not recommend moving towards previously mentioned groups, unless you wear Chicago policeman disguise and play on one of lower difficulty levels. Otherwise it is best to use the alternative path described below.

Enter the small room on the right - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Enter the small room on the right. You can encounter a single guard inside and in such case it is best to use the central wall to sneak past him safely. Regardless of whether you've met an enemy here or not, watch out also for cops from the main group, who could spot you through holes in the left wall.

After leaving the ruined room, go straight ahead and only after reaching the end of the corridor, turn left - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After leaving the ruined room, go straight ahead and only after reaching the end of the corridor, turn left. Watch out also here, because the nearby corridor should be patrolled by at least one cop. Wait for the proper moment and move ahead, to the damaged staircase visible in a distance.

Place yourself at the left wall, grab the ledge and climb up - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Place yourself at the left wall, grab the ledge and climb up. Move over to the right and use the only available passage. Start exploring the upper floor, trying to find a dead dancer shown on the above screen. Throw her body over the railing. The advantage of this action is fact, that the main group of cops would be interested in the body and not looking for Agent 47.

Move to the ledge shown on the above screen and wait until all policemen walk to examine dancer's body - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move to the ledge shown on the above screen and wait until all policemen walk to examine dancer's body. Quickly climb down and use this moment to examine evidence lying nearby.

Choose a corridor leading to undamaged stairs - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Choose a corridor leading to undamaged stairs. This place should be guarded by a single cop. You can walk past him dressed in Chicago policemen disguise, distract him (e.g. with a bottle) or wait until he walks down and sneak past his back. Note - on higher difficulty levels you have to watch your back. Once you see a policeman walking towards you, quickly hide in the left closet.

Use the previously mentioned stairs in order to get to one of upper floors - Derelict Building - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use the previously mentioned stairs in order to get to one of upper floors. You'll have to walk over the ledge there and then interact with the door indicated by the game, thus finishing the stage.

General objectives of the stage: Convenience Store is fifth stage of Hunter and Hunted mission. Main objective of this stage it to cross the mentioned shop in order to get to the door leading to the next location. You might have here little more freedom of action than before.

You start this stage on the rooftop of the building adjacent to a convenience store - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start this stage on the rooftop of the building adjacent to a convenience store. Before you start any actions, check the right rooftop visible in a distance (screen above). If it is patrolled by a cop, you have to watch out because he can easily spot you. Otherwise you can immediately get into action.

You can get to lower levels in two main ways - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get to lower levels in two main ways. First of them is to locate an interactive edge (screen above) and climb down. Another method is using fire stairs. In this case you can go down to the very bottom or stop on your way and walk over the ledge.

If you've decided to walk over the ledge, you might stop at the shutter shown on the above screen - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've decided to walk over the ledge, you might stop at the shutter shown on the above screen. Inside this building you'll encounter a single cop and depending on your preferences you can ignore or attack him, in order to easily obtain Chicago policeman disguise.

Now let's focus on the main objective, which is getting into the convenience store - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now let's focus on the main objective, which is getting into the convenience store. You can achieve you goal by choosing one of three main ways. First method is reaching the entrance at the back of the store. In this case you have to start with getting to the lowest floor. You can use either the staircase inside the building (screen above) or fire stairs.

Of course, you have to reckon with the fact that there will be a fairly group of enemies in the area, even on lower difficulty levels - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Of course, you have to reckon with the fact that there will be a fairly group of enemies in the area, even on lower difficulty levels. I recommend getting store clerk disguise, e.g. by surprising a person which appears on the building's ground floor (the same one, where you've started the stage). If you're using Chicago policeman disguise or default Hitman's suit you'll have to pay more attention on avoiding enemies.

The entrance located on the back of the store is shown on the above screen - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The entrance located on the back of the store is shown on the above screen. It is worth noting that cops have full access to this local so you do not have to worry about additional problems if you're using proper disguise.

Another variant relies on using the stairs leading to the store - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another variant relies on using the stairs leading to the store. In this case you have to reach the shutter shown on the above screen, first walking over the metal bar connecting small rooftops and then over the ledge. Of course you might have to wait until the clerk walks away from the window and get inside only after that.

After getting inside a small room, head to the stairs shown on the above screen - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting inside a small room, head to the stairs shown on the above screen. Also in this case you have to think about disguise you want to use (it is best to wear Chicago policeman disguise).

The last, third method is getting through the hatch over the shop's rooftop - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last, third method is getting through the hatch over the shop's rooftop. This variant starts at the same place as the previous one, so you have to reach the open shutter on the first floor. The main difference is that instead of the stairs you should choose a right corridor leading to the rooftop (screen above).

Keep special precautions because as mentioned earlier, on higher difficulty levels this area might be patrolled by a single cop - Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Keep special precautions because as mentioned earlier, on higher difficulty levels this area might be patrolled by a single cop. So you have to wait until he walks past you, hide your identity or use store clerk disguise. After getting to the rooftop, locate the hatch and climb down the ladder.

General objectives of the stage: Getting inside the convenience store is just a half of your way. Your next goal is to cross the entire store, where you may encounter clerks, clients and cops.

Regardless of the method you used to get inside, you start at the back of the store, specifically in the kitchen, the storeroom or in a small cold store - Convenience Store - Getting to the exit - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the method you used to get inside, you start at the back of the store, specifically in the kitchen, the storeroom or in a small cold store. If you're wearing Chicago policeman disguise, you are safe for now. Otherwise (no disguise at all or store clerk disguise) you have to avoid nearby characters.

At the back of the store you can find many items, e - Convenience Store - Getting to the exit - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

At the back of the store you can find many items, e.g. throwable objects or melee weapons. You can also find there prepared store clerk disguise, but wearing it is not required. Locate one of passages leading to the main store area. You have to be careful there because you'll start encountering more and more policemen.

Theoretically you could attempt to leave the store without any additional preparations, but that would be very risky, regardless of disguise you have - Convenience Store - Getting to the exit - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Theoretically you could attempt to leave the store without any additional preparations, but that would be very risky, regardless of disguise you have. So it is much better to complete some actions in order to distract people in the area. Start with locating the valve shown on the above screen. Turn it.

That's not all because you have to ignite fireworks yet and it is best to use ones located in the main storeroom (screen above) - Convenience Store - Getting to the exit - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

That's not all because you have to ignite fireworks yet and it is best to use ones located in the main storeroom (screen above). After completing both described above actions, the fire alarm will start and all rooms will be covered in smoke. This will end in evacuating the entire store and limited vision of all nearby characters.

Only now I advise moving to the area reserved for clients of convenience store - Convenience Store - Getting to the exit - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Only now I advise moving to the area reserved for clients of convenience store. Do not hurry because a number of officers will probably stay in the area and you can get exposed by them if you get too close. Be sure to examine the shop cash desk before you leave the building, finding evidence there.

After leaving the convenience store turn right - Convenience Store - Getting to the exit - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After leaving the convenience store turn right. If you have started the alarm, it will be easier now because cops should be busy with evacuating store staff and clients. Otherwise plan your moves carefully, using Instinct to hide your identity. Eventually you have to reach the door leading to the next area.

General objectives of the stage: Loading Area is one of stages of Hunter and Hunted mission. This stage is very similar to Derelict Building stage, because your task is to walk through the small location guarded by cops.

Carefully approach the loading area and plan your further steps - Loading Area - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Carefully approach the loading area and plan your further steps. If you have Chicago policeman disguise, you can immediately continue on. Otherwise you have to decide whether you want to stun one of the policemen, distract them with throwable object (e.g. bottles) or just try to run to the exit (it is rather possible on lower difficulty levels).

By default, the area is fairly well lit, but you can change it by sabotaging a fuse box shown on the above screen - Loading Area - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

By default, the area is fairly well lit, but you can change it by sabotaging a fuse box shown on the above screen. One of officers will be assigned to investigate the problem and you can use the opportunity to quickly move further or attack this person.

There are several paths leading inside a building visible in a distance - Loading Area - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are several paths leading inside a building visible in a distance. Definitely a better idea is to choose the left one (screen above), because not only you'll be able to effectively move between covers but also when you enter the building, you'll find yourself in the room with evidence.

Take your time at the end, especially that on higher difficulty levels you will encounter a single guard in the last room - Loading Area - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Take your time at the end, especially that on higher difficulty levels you will encounter a single guard in the last room. Use Instinct to hide your face or again use throwable object, looking for opportunity to get to the indicated door. You should know that after reaching the door, Agent 47 must also unlock it, so make sure not to be caught by anyone in the meantime.

General objectives of the stage: Chinese New Year is the last and by far the longest and most demanding stage of Hunter and Hunted mission. There are three targets here to be eliminated, which travel at a fairly large area. The important information is fact that each target can be eliminated in several ways.

Go to the main area of Chinatown and spend some time to learn about current situation - Chinese New Year - Exploring Chinatown - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go to the main area of Chinatown and spend some time to learn about current situation. There are three persons to be eliminated: Bill Dole and Larry Clay initially stand close to each other and Frank Owens can be found a bit further. These characters will spread after a while and it will remain so until the end of the mission. It is worth knowing that important events connected with each target will start only after you get closer to particular person. So you do not need to hurry and you have a complete freedom as it comes to order of elimination of Wade's people. More details on each "contract" can be found in following subchapters of this guide.

But first let's talk about disguises - Chinese New Year - Exploring Chinatown - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

But first let's talk about disguises. It is definitely best to move in Chinatown having Chicago policeman disguise on. Although there are other cops in the area but there are only few of them and besides you can easily melt into a crowd. If you want to get policeman disguise, it is best to attack a cop guarding one of side alleys on the other side of Chinatown (screen above).

Another possibility is store clerk disguise - Chinese New Year - Exploring Chinatown - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another possibility is store clerk disguise. What's interesting, you do not have to attack anyone in this case, because you can examine all stalls finding ready-made clothes (screen above). The last variant is to stay in default Hitman's suit. In this case you have to be more careful in places where you can encounter policemen.

General objectives of the stage: It is best to eliminate Frank Owens as first and that's because in his case it is very easy to make a mistake and it would be unnecessary to repeat other fragments of this stage.

The best place to attack Frank Owens is a fenced area located in front of the starting place (screen above) - Chinese New Year - Eliminating Frank Owens - 5: Hunter and Hunted - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best place to attack Frank Owens is a fenced area located in front of the starting place (screen above). If you have Chicago policeman disguise you should use Instinct to hide your identity.

General objectives of the stage: Victoria's Ward is the first and by far the shortest stage of Rosewood mission. Completing it should not take more that few dozen seconds.

Start moving on very linear path, crossing subsequent corridors and rooms of orphanage - Victorias Ward - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start moving on very linear path, crossing subsequent corridors and rooms of orphanage. Along your way you won't find any interactive items nor will you encounter any people.

The only moment when you have to watch out is when you approach the elevator - Victorias Ward - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The only moment when you have to watch out is when you approach the elevator. Quickly hide behind curtains located on the left. Wait until two bandits walk out the elevator - they should walk past you without initiating an alarm.

After the bandits walk away, go to the elevator and wait for a cut-scene.

General objectives of the stage: Orphanage Halls is the name of the second stage of Rosewood mission. This is the most extensive stage of mentioned mission - there are two floors of the orphanage to explore, fully occupied by armed and watchful bandits. Before taking any actions you should take a look at layout of rooms in the orphanage, starting with a smaller first floor of the building.

Start with getting to the elevator's roof - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the first floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start with getting to the elevator's roof. Now grab the other edge but do not climb up until local bandits walk away (on higher difficulty levels watch out also for an enemy appearing at the right passage).

A good idea is to obtain henchman disguise, by eliminating a person who stops in front of you or an opponent who will walk towards the right stairs (leading to the ground floor) - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the first floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A good idea is to obtain henchman disguise, by eliminating a person who stops in front of you or an opponent who will walk towards the right stairs (leading to the ground floor). An advantage of this solution is that you'll be able to use Instinct to hide your identity in emergency situations.

In the room located at the end of the corridor in front of the elevator, bandits are torturing one of captured guards - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the first floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the room located at the end of the corridor in front of the elevator, bandits are torturing one of captured guards. You could, of course, save this person, but it isn't connected with any bonuses further in the stage (the only reward is completion of a challenge).

Much better idea is to use this opportunity to sneak past bandits (screen above), especially since they should not walk away until they finish torturing the guy, thereby making it easier for you to further explore the building - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the first floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Much better idea is to use this opportunity to sneak past bandits (screen above), especially since they should not walk away until they finish torturing the guy, thereby making it easier for you to further explore the building.

You can get to the ground floor of the orphanage in two main ways - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the first floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get to the ground floor of the orphanage in two main ways. If you've sneaked past bandits torturing the guard, it is worth to cross the right room, because the left corridor is usually patrolled by one of enemies. Near the stairs, regardless of the difficulty level, you should encounter one more bandit (screen above) and depending on your preferences you can eliminate or sneak past him (e.g. when he leans back against the railing).

Another method of getting to the orphanage ground floor is to use the staircase located right from the starting place (the elevator shaft) - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the first floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method of getting to the orphanage ground floor is to use the staircase located right from the starting place (the elevator shaft). On lower difficulty levels you won't encounter here anyone. On higher difficulty levels the staircase will be guarded by a single enemy, so you should take care of him.

General objectives of the stage: The orphanage ground floor is more complex than first floor of the building. You'll encounter here far more bandits, so you have to be very careful.

If you've reached the ground floor with the stairs located on the opposite end of the first floor (the one behind a room with tortured guard), then you'll start next to relatively safe corridor adjacent to the chapel and canteen - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've reached the ground floor with the stairs located on the opposite end of the first floor (the one behind a room with tortured guard), then you'll start next to relatively safe corridor adjacent to the chapel and canteen. You should examine a ventilation shaft shown on the above screen, because thanks to that you can bypass an adjacent corridor.

If you've reached the ground floor with the stairs located near the elevator shaft (close to the starting place), then you'll find yourself in a small area, where you won't initially encounter anyone - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've reached the ground floor with the stairs located near the elevator shaft (close to the starting place), then you'll find yourself in a small area, where you won't initially encounter anyone. If you go to the left, you'll reach the reception (and exit point) and if you go to the right, you'll reach the chapel.

The main room on the ground floor is previously mentioned canteen - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The main room on the ground floor is previously mentioned canteen. When you get here for the first time, a leader of bandits occupying the orphanage will convene a meeting. This is the best opportunity to get to less accessible areas, because the meeting will last at least dozen of seconds and most bandits will participate in it.

A chapel is a place which is occupied by maximum three bandits, depending on circumstances and on difficulty level - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A chapel is a place which is occupied by maximum three bandits, depending on circumstances and on difficulty level. Notice well hidden passage connecting stairs with the canteen and a shotgun next to the altar, which can help you in elimination of bandits, if you prefer more aggressive style of playing.

There are several smaller room and corridor around the canteen - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are several smaller room and corridor around the canteen. You should especially pay attention on the room with toys shown on the above screen, with container full of colorful balls in the center. Inside this container you can hide up to five bodies.

Behind the canteen you can find a medicine office, which on higher difficulty levels is occupied by a large group of enemies - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Behind the canteen you can find a medicine office, which on higher difficulty levels is occupied by a large group of enemies. So you should be very careful here and skillfully choose paths and use covers.

Last two rooms are changing-room and reception - Orphanage Halls - Exploring the ground floor of the orphanage - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Last two rooms are changing-room and reception. Close examination of reception is very hard, because a large group of enemies is stationing here. So I suggest distracting them with throwable objects, especially that next to the main desk you can find evidence.

Note - in the next subsections of the guide you'll find information on locations of fuses, which has to be found to complete the stage. Locations of fuses depend on the difficulty level:

  • If you play on Easy or Medium difficulty level, see the Orphanage Halls - Finding fuses: lower difficulty levels subsection
  • If you play on Hard, Expert or Purist difficulty level, see the Orphanage Halls - Finding fuses: higher difficulty levels subsection

General objectives of the stage: While playing on lower difficulty levels it is much easier to get all four fuses, because they are left in places which are not hard guarded.

The first fuse can be found on the first floor, namely in a small room adjacent to the room with tortured guard - Orphanage Halls - Retrieving fuses: lower difficulty levels - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third fuse can be found in a medicine office on the ground floor. You should watch out there, because even on lower difficulty levels there should be at least 2-3 bandits in the area.

The fourth fuse can be found in a small area on the ground floor adjacent to the staircase (the one located near the starting place), between reception and chapel. On lower difficulty levels this place shouldn't be guarded by anyone.

General objectives of the stage: While playing on higher difficulty levels obtaining at least two fuses from the ground floor may be very problematic, because they are located in places with many enemies.

The first fuse can be found on the first floor, in a small room adjacent to the room with tortured guard - Orphanage Halls - Retrieving fuses: higher difficulty levels - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first fuse can be found on the first floor, in a small room adjacent to the room with tortured guard. Obtaining it shouldn't be problematic.

The third fuse can be found in medicine office on the ground floor (screen 1). The main difference comparing with lower difficulty levels is that it lies in a very inaccessible place, with many enemies around. Depending on your preference you can try to eliminate some of bandits in the area (e.g. by attacking them in a place shown on the screen 2) or enter medicine office from the canteen, trying to get your target as fast as possible and using Instinct.

The fourth fuse can be found in the reception on the ground floor - Orphanage Halls - Retrieving fuses: higher difficulty levels - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The fourth fuse can be found in the reception on the ground floor. It is best to approach this room from the stairs (those located closer to starting place). After that it would be good to distract enemies in the reception with any throwable item and quickly move to the reception desk, using it as a cover.

General objectives of the stage: Using the retrieved fuses is the last step required to complete Orphanage Halls stage. Fortunately, even on higher difficulty levels you shouldn't have any problems with that.

Make sure that you have all four fuses (and evidence, if possible) - Orphanage Halls - Restoring power - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Make sure that you have all four fuses (and evidence, if possible). Go to the ground floor and choose a corridor shown on the above screen, located left from the reception and stairs (those located closer to the starting place).

Stop at the place shown on the above screen and place fuses into right holes - Orphanage Halls - Restoring power - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

General objectives of the stage: Central Heating is the last, third stage of Rosewood mission. It consists of two main part and first of them focuses on crossing several rooms occupied by new bandits. The objective of these actions is getting to the area where Wade stays.

In the first room of central heating you'll encounter two guards on lower difficulty levels and in this case it is easy to sneak past them or eliminate them after they walk away - Central Heating - Finding Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the first room of central heating you'll encounter two guards on lower difficulty levels and in this case it is easy to sneak past them or eliminate them after they walk away. On higher difficulty levels you'll encounter a third person next to the passage to the next area. If you do not have henchman disguise or you do not want to use Instinct, you may use a throwable object to distract him.

Also in the next area of this location you'll encounter two or three persons, depending on the difficulty level - Central Heating - Finding Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Also in the next area of this location you'll encounter two or three persons, depending on the difficulty level. I suggest starting with throwing a bottle or another item, so you can safely reach evidence shown on the above screen.

I do not recommend attacking local enemies, but just sneaking past them - Central Heating - Finding Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I do not recommend attacking local enemies, but just sneaking past them. My advice is to move back a bit and choose a right corridor in right moment. When you get to the place shown on the above screen, decide to get to the upper balcony.

Watch out during crossing the upper balcony, because you can get spotted there - Central Heating - Finding Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Watch out during crossing the upper balcony, because you can get spotted there. So you should focus on observing opponent's actions and using covers next to railings. On higher difficulty levels the balcony is in addition patrolled by a single enemy, so try to avoid him.

Your task is to get to the door at the bottom, while avoiding local enemies - Central Heating - Finding Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your task is to get to the door at the bottom, while avoiding local enemies. Regardless of difficulty level I recommend getting to the end of the balcony and climbing down in the place shown on the above screen.

The last step is to wait for the right moment to use an exit from the room occupied by enemies - Central Heating - Finding Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last step is to wait for the right moment to use an exit from the room occupied by enemies. Depending on your preferences you can carefully lean out or use Instinct (in this case you have to wear henchman disguise of course). Locate a blue door, thus reaching the last area in central heating. You'll find Wade there.

General objectives of the stage: The second part of Central Heating stage focuses entirely on eliminating Wade. The game allows you to choose a way in which Hitman will get rid of mentioned character.

You can eliminate Wade in two main ways - Central Heating - Eliminating Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can eliminate Wade in two main ways. First method is to confront him in an open fight. Go down the stairs and choose a passage shown on the above screen, leading to the area where Wade hides.

Another method is eliminating Wade without an open confrontation. This is much better idea, because you won't risk the life of Agent 47. Go down the stairs and turn right, finding a valve shown on the above screen.

After turning the valve, go inside the ventilation shaft located on the right - Central Heating - Eliminating Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After turning the valve, go inside the ventilation shaft located on the right. Go to the other end.

After leaving the shaft, start sneaking - Central Heating - Eliminating Wade - 6: Rosewood - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

General objectives of the stage: Great Balls of Fire is the only stage of seventh game mission, Welcome to Hope. The main objective is to cross the bar in order to get to a person with information on Lenny. This task can be obtained in two main ways and one of them is avoiding of upsetting local guests.

If you want to get to the bartender without a fight then your first task is to figure out how to get to the largest bar room - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender without a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to get to the bartender without a fight then your first task is to figure out how to get to the largest bar room. Keep away from two main entrances because they are watched by bouncers. Instead of that use the side passage to toilets shown on the above screen.

After getting to the toilets, you have to decide how to behave there - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender without a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting to the toilets, you have to decide how to behave there. One possible method is to neutralize a cop in order to get Hope police officer disguise. Watch out on higher difficulty levels because you might encounter two persons instead of one in the toilets. In such case try to stun both policemen especially that there is no cabinet or crate around, where you could hide a body of first of them.

When you have Hope police officer disguise, you can return to the starting room and then enter the main bar area with no problems, not worrying that someone may identify you - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender without a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When you have Hope police officer disguise, you can return to the starting room and then enter the main bar area with no problems, not worrying that someone may identify you.

The ventilation shaft will lead you to a small room, where you have to look around carefully finding evidence. Now you can go to the door leading to the main bar area.

If you do not use any disguise, prepare for much more difficult situation, because you have to avoid not only policemen but also bouncers and truck drivers - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender without a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not use any disguise, prepare for much more difficult situation, because you have to avoid not only policemen but also bouncers and truck drivers. If you have Hope police officer disguise, you have to only watch out for other cops. Look out for two policemen standing next to the stairs leading to the bar. You can try to distract them by throwing bottles or sneak past them using Instinct.

But that's not the end yet, because in the last part of the bar you'll encounter more persons which should be avoided, including two officers sitting at one of the tables - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender without a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

But that's not the end yet, because in the last part of the bar you'll encounter more persons which should be avoided, including two officers sitting at one of the tables. Try to reach the bartender as fast as possible and press interact key/button to question this character.

General assumptions: Another way of completing the Great Balls of Fire stage is starting the fight in the bar. The advantage of this method is that access restrictions of other areas in the bar will be removed. The disadvantage is that on your way you can be challenged by other local guests to a fist fight.

1 - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender after starting a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe first step is, of course, starting the fight in the bar - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender after starting a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It is best to do this by attacking another person with a bottle or other item found in the area, so right from the start you'll gain an advantage.

Another method of starting the fight begins with going to the toilet - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender after starting a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method of starting the fight begins with going to the toilet. After you get there, check the entrance area and pull the lever shown on the above screen.

On your way there you'll be regularly attacked by hostile characters and each time you have to complete a simple mini-game bases on pressing keys/button accordingly to on-screen instructions. If you make a mistake, Agent 47 will lose some HP and in such case you should look around inside side rooms for medical cabinets hanging on walls.

Taking part in fights is not mandatory, because you can also reach the main bar area through the ventilation shaft described in previous subchapter (the one inside toilets) - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender after starting a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Taking part in fights is not mandatory, because you can also reach the main bar area through the ventilation shaft described in previous subchapter (the one inside toilets). Additional advantage of this solution is reaching the room with evidence. It is worth noting that if you do not want to use the ventilation shaft then in order to get an access to the room with mentioned secret you would have to use a keycard taken from one of defeated bouncers.

Keep walking towards the bar - Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender after starting a fight - 7: Welcome to Hope - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Keep walking towards the bar. After getting into the main bar room you should stay close to the right wall, because at some point its fragment will be destroyed and you'll be able to cross another toilet, avoiding a large group of enemies.

At the very beginning of the mission you'll meet a gun shop owner, who will inform you that in order to get back Silverballers you have to win firing shooting range contest. But fortunately it is not the only way to obtain them.

Before you make any concrete decisions, it would be good to look around the area - Gun Shop - Exploring the shop - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before you make any concrete decisions, it would be good to look around the area. The main gun shop room is accessible for all. What's more, you can get other weapons in the area without worrying about being accused of stealing.

The shooting range is also open access place, but you can't approach a building guarded by one of security guards or enter the shooting area - Gun Shop - Exploring the shop - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The shooting range is also open access place, but you can't approach a building guarded by one of security guards or enter the shooting area.

It's time to decide how you want to recover Agent's 47 pistols. These are available options of your behavior:

  • Gaining the required number of points in shooting range contest - read the subpage Gun Shop - Winning the shooting range contest
  • Obtaining the key to the cabinet with Silverballers - read the subpage Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet

General assumptions: At the beginning, winning the shooting range contest may seem as a difficult task but thanks to using the Instinct, gaining the required number of points should not be particularly demanding.

Start with getting to the shooting range with one of available passages, for example the one located near the starting place (screen above) - Gun Shop - Winning the shooting range contest - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start with getting to the shooting range with one of available passages, for example the one located near the starting place (screen above).

After reaching the destination, approach Lilly, current shooting range champion - Gun Shop - Winning the shooting range contest - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching the destination, approach Lilly, current shooting range champion. After the conversation go to any free stand and interact with it. You could have, of course, swapped weapons earlier (to use a machine gun for example), but the record can be beaten with no problems with a regular pistol you started the struggle with.

In order to win the contest you have to gain at least 471 points in 2 minutes - Gun Shop - Winning the shooting range contest - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to win the contest you have to gain at least 471 points in 2 minutes. First of all, try not to hurry but carefully shoot each target, aiming at the head. Each headshot is rewarded with 20 points.

Gaining 471 points is not possible in a standard way, so you have to use Instinct from time to time - Gun Shop - Winning the shooting range contest - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Gaining 471 points is not possible in a standard way, so you have to use Instinct from time to time. Activate point shooting mode each time you see more targets appearing at the same time. After activating point shooting mode try to aim as many targets as you can, aiming at heads. Successful completion of this action may result even with 100 points and more.

Keep shooting, helping yourself with point shooting each time you see several targets - Gun Shop - Winning the shooting range contest - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Keep shooting, helping yourself with point shooting each time you see several targets. Beating Lilly's result should be a piece of cake.

General assumptions: Stealing Silverballers is a better idea if you are not good at the shooting range, especially that retrieving Hitman's pistols is possible to achieve without attacking local people.

In order to steal Silverballers you have to obtain a key to the cabinet - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to steal Silverballers you have to obtain a key to the cabinet. It is stored in the gun shop owner's safe. The only way to open the safe is obtaining a notebook with right safe combination and you can do it in two ways. The first method is finding a notebook in the survival bunker. Start with going to the right. Look around in the main gun shop room, finding a fuse box shown on the above screen. Sabotage the box when no one looks at you.

Return now to the starting place, but do not run not to attract unnecessary attention - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return now to the starting place, but do not run not to attract unnecessary attention. Wait until the guard standing next to the counter will go to check the fuse box.

When playing on lower difficulty levels you can go behind the counter right away and take a keycard - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When playing on lower difficulty levels you can go behind the counter right away and take a keycard. On higher difficulty levels you may encounter a second guard there, so it is better to wait until he leaves this place.

The next step is using the right door leading to the back of the gun store - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The next step is using the right door leading to the back of the gun store. If you play on higher difficulty levels you have to watch out for another guard and in this case you should wait until he goes upstairs. When you get to the back of the store, select the right corridor and locate the door shown on the above screen.

Crouch and turn left, getting into trenches - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Crouch and turn left, getting into trenches. Follow the linear path here, stopping only after reaching a bunker shown on the above screen. Use the recently acquired keycard to unlock the door.

Inside the bunker you'll find first of all a notebook with the safe combination - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Inside the bunker you'll find first of all a notebook with the safe combination. Look around to find also evidence. After picking up both these items return to the door leading to the back of the gun shop, but do not use it yet.

Go to the left, sneaking near sandbags, at which persons on shooting range stand - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go to the left, sneaking near sandbags, at which persons on shooting range stand. Stop at the place shown on the above screen. On lower difficulty levels you can just jump between covers to reach the left building. On higher difficulty levels you can be exposed in this way so it is better to wait until a guard visible in a distance leaves his stand (he will try to reprimand Lynch).

Regardless of how you get close to gun shop owner's office, use the shutter shown on the above screen, but first make sure that the room is empty - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of how you get close to gun shop owner's office, use the shutter shown on the above screen, but first make sure that the room is empty. The only thing left now is walking to the safe and opening it.

The second option is to take away the notebook from the gun shop owner - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second option is to take away the notebook from the gun shop owner. I strongly advise not to attacking this person in public place, because you would alert all local characters. Instead of that, go to the right. Use the side passage leading to the shooting range (screen above).

Stop at the place, where few policemen shoot ducks and examine the right wall in order to find an entrance to the ventilation shaft (screen above) - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stop at the place, where few policemen shoot ducks and examine the right wall in order to find an entrance to the ventilation shaft (screen above).

Go through the tunnel to find yourself in the office - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go through the tunnel to find yourself in the office. Hide in the closet and wait until the gun shop owner comes in. Do not leave the closet until he stops at the desk, turning back to you.

Only now exit the closet - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Only now exit the closet. Carefully approach the gun shop owner and depending on your preferences stun or kill him. Hide the body and look around for the notebook lying on the floor. Now go to the nearby safe and open it.

Regardless of your behavior, you have to open the safe and take a keycard to the cabinet out of it - Gun Shop - Getting the key to the cabinet - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of your behavior, you have to open the safe and take a keycard to the cabinet out of it. It is the safest to leave the office by the ventilation shaft you used to get here.

General assumptions: Acquiring Silverballers belonging to Agent 47 is the last step that must be done before leaving the gun shop.

If you won shooting range contest, you only have to watch a short cut-scene, during which you'll get back Silverballers - Gun Shop - Acquiring Silverballers - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you won shooting range contest, you only have to watch a short cut-scene, during which you'll get back Silverballers.

If you stole a safe keycard then after getting to the main shop room locate a fuse box and sabotage it, doing this when no one looks at your side - Gun Shop - Acquiring Silverballers - 8: Birdie's Gift - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you stole a safe keycard then after getting to the main shop room locate a fuse box and sabotage it, doing this when no one looks at your side.

In order to end the mission you have to go to the door shown on the above screen.

General objectives of the stage: Streets of Hope is the first of two stages of Shaving Lenny mission. The main objective of this stage is to eliminate three out of five of Lenny's gang members. Before making any actions it is worth to look around the entire town especially that this is quite broad location.

Initially Gavin LeBlond and Landon Metcalf are stationing in front of the starting place and Tyler Colvin can be found near the garage - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Initially Gavin LeBlond and Landon Metcalf are stationing in front of the starting place and Tyler Colvin can be found near the garage. I strongly advise not to eliminate these persons in a public place, because you may draw attention of all local policemen and cowboys. What's more, you wouldn't be able to quickly escape from this location, because the exit to the next stage is located on the other side of the map. So it is best to use the same tactics as in the recent mission in Chinatown, first exploring the area and then eliminating your targets, without informing enemy about your intentions.

The entrance to the barbershop is not accessible and that's because you can visit this place only in the next stage of ninth mission - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The entrance to the barbershop is not accessible and that's because you can visit this place only in the next stage of ninth mission. The main street is patrolled by single cops, but you can also encounter here armed cowboys and civilians. It is worth noting cars parked in the area. By activating car alarms you can distract all nearby people, whether in order to reach inaccessible area or attack them to obtain new disguises.

Left from the alley, where you start the mission, you can find a convenience store - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Left from the alley, where you start the mission, you can find a convenience store. There is nothing interesting on the ground floor and the first floor is inaccessible for other people. If you want to get there, locate a radio on the ground floor, turn it on and then safely walk past the store employee. The first floor is visited mainly for murdering Tyler Colvin, so more detailed on that can be found in the subchapter Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin.

Left from the alley, where you start the mission, you can find a Cherry Donuts store - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Left from the alley, where you start the mission, you can find a Cherry Donuts store. A ground floor is accessible for everyone, except the area behind the corner. A passage to the first floor is guarded by a single guard. If you do not want to trigger an alarm, it would be best to get to the first floor after the guard goes there and attacking him by a surprise. You can also throw a bottle in a side alley, aiming at the wall, distracting him.

The most important finding on the first floor of donut shop is a sniper rifle Ilyon R700 - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The most important finding on the first floor of donut shop is a sniper rifle Ilyon R700. Note - if you distracter a guard watching the stairs by throwing a bottle, then probably you won't make it to return to the ground floor. In such case you might hide in the closet and wait for the guard, until he gets to the first floor.

Left from the barbershop you can find a car garage - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Left from the barbershop you can find a car garage. You can access the square in front of that with no problems but do not try to enter the garage, because only authorized persons have an access to that (policemen, mechanics, and plumbers).

Between the garage and the barbershop you can find an alley shown on the above screen - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Between the garage and the barbershop you can find an alley shown on the above screen. It is a good way to get to one of the back entrance to the garage and to the end point of this stage. But do not move to far, because you might enter inaccessible area quite unexpectedly (more or less at the second parked car) and you'll be immediately spotted by characters standing on the right.

Right from the inaccessible barbershop you'll find an entrance to the scrapyard - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Right from the inaccessible barbershop you'll find an entrance to the scrapyard. On lower difficulty levels it is guarded only by one cop, but on higher difficulty levels there are at least two persons. So you might distract them by triggering alarms in cars parked nearby. The scrapyard itself is of course inaccessible for you, so stay alert.

At the end a few words on disguises, thanks to which exploring the town can become a lot easier - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

At the end a few words on disguises, thanks to which exploring the town can become a lot easier. The most useful in my opinion is Hope policeman disguise, especially that cops have full access to the car garage and the scrapyard. On lower difficulty levels it is easiest to get such disguise by attacking a policeman stationing in the side ally between barbershop and the garage. On higher difficulty levels I recommend attacking one of cops at the entrance to the scrapyard or one of persons patrolling upper garage floors.

Other available clothes are mechanic disguise and Hope plumber disguise - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Other available clothes are mechanic disguise and Hope plumber disguise. In both cases it is best to attack one of single characters in the garage.

If you really want to get mechanic disguise but you do not want to attack anyone, you can look around the garage to pick up a keycard - Streets of Hope - Exploring the town - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you really want to get mechanic disguise but you do not want to attack anyone, you can look around the garage to pick up a keycard. This keycard can be then used to open a basement shown on the above screen, located under the main entrance to the scrapyard. In the basement you'll find a ready-to-wear mechanic disguise.

General assumptions: It is best to murder Tyler Colvin as a first victim especially that he doesn't walk to locations where you should be more careful while staying hidden.

Tyler Colvin travels between two points on the map and the first place visited by him is a first floor of the convenience store (a building located left from the starting place) - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Tyler Colvin travels between two points on the map and the first place visited by him is a first floor of the convenience store (a building located left from the starting place). As mentioned earlier, unauthorized persons do not have an access to the first floor, so it would be best to distract a store employee by turning on a radio. Before getting to the first floor make sure that Tyler is not currently there.

After getting to the first floor, you have to decide how to get rid of Colvin - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting to the first floor, you have to decide how to get rid of Colvin. The least original way is to shoot him or strangle him after he gets into a room. In this case you should hide behind the door or inside the closet and wait for the right moment.

Another method of killing Tyler is using a gas stove and shooting it to make an explosion - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method of killing Tyler is using a gas stove and shooting it to make an explosion. Start with turning on the stove. After that, hide in the closet and wait until your target starts walking to the stairs leading to the ground floor. Quickly exit the closet and shoot the oven. If you did everything according to the plan, explosion will be big enough to execute your target.

Another way of getting rid of Tyler is using the remote explosives locate on the first floor - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another way of getting rid of Tyler is using the remote explosives locate on the first floor. Arm explosives and carefully leave the building. Wait until Tyler enters the building and gets to the first floor. Only after that detonate explosives (screen above).

Another place visited by Tyler is a square located in front of the car garage - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another place visited by Tyler is a square located in front of the car garage. Also in this case I do not recommend attacking directly your target, but using a trick. The plan is to eliminate Colvin in a gas pump explosion. Start with locating a gas pump shown on the above screen. Make sure that no one look at you and interact with the pump to spill the gasoline.

Wait until Tyler gets here and stops in the gasoline puddle - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until Tyler gets here and stops in the gasoline puddle. If you play on lower difficulty levels, it is enough to place yourself behind one of nearby parked cars and shoot at the right moment (you might use a silencer).

If you play on higher difficulty levels, the safer solution is to shot from the upper balcony shown on the above screen - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on higher difficulty levels, the safer solution is to shot from the upper balcony shown on the above screen. But unfortunately it is connected with getting to the first floor of the garage, so you have either to sneak silently or use the proper disguise (e.g. Hope policeman). It is worth noting here that gas pump explosion will start a series of other explosions, so you have to quickly walk away.

A complete different way of execution of your target is shooting Tyler with a sniper rifle - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A complete different way of execution of your target is shooting Tyler with a sniper rifle. As for reminder, a sniper rifle Ilyon R700 can be found on the first floor of donuts shop and in order to get there you have to distract or remove a guard watching the stairs.

The best place to shoot a sniper rifle is a balcony of the car garage (screen above), especially that a successful action is connected with completing one of additional challenges - Streets of Hope - Murdering Tyler Colvin - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best place to shoot a sniper rifle is a balcony of the car garage (screen above), especially that a successful action is connected with completing one of additional challenges. Aim one of the shutters of convenience store and wait until Tyler appears there (in the meantime watch out for other characters who can appear on the balcony). After killing your target, holster the weapon and leave the balcony.

General assumptions: Landon Metcalf stays in the car garage and it is best to eliminate him after murdering Tyler Colvin.

Landon Metcalf walks around the car garage, which is located left from the inaccessible barbershop - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Landon Metcalf walks around the car garage, which is located left from the inaccessible barbershop. The first step is to get inside the garage. This location is closed for unauthorized persons. I definitely do not advise to use the main entrance, because there are many people around and even in disguise it would be hard to stay undetected. So I suggest getting to the alley located on the right from a garage (screen above).

The best way to get into a car garage is using the side door shown on the above screen - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best way to get into a car garage is using the side door shown on the above screen. But be careful not to be noticed by people standing on the right. After using the mentioned door, you'll find yourself in a corridor leading to the main part of the garage, which shouldn't be watched by anyone even on higher difficulty levels.

A third possible entrance to the car garage is located on its back, in a small garage with a car on a lift - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A third possible entrance to the car garage is located on its back, in a small garage with a car on a lift. Getting to this place is unfortunately connected with the need to eliminate nearby characters or eliminate them. It is worth noting, that cars parked in the alley can be helpful because you can trigger their alarms.

If you start exploring the car garage in the ground floor, then start locating the stairs shown on the above screen as fast as you can - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you start exploring the car garage in the ground floor, then start locating the stairs shown on the above screen as fast as you can. You have to watch out, because both on the ground floor of the garage, as well as on its first floor you may encounter many people. On lower difficulty levels it is best to use Hope policeman disguise. On higher difficulty levels you should wear mechanic disguise or Hope plumber disguise, because the garage is guarded by more cops in this case.

After getting to the garage first floor you have to decide how you want to get rid of Landon Metcalf - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting to the garage first floor you have to decide how you want to get rid of Landon Metcalf. The least original method is shooting or strangling him. An advantage of the car garage is fact that Landon goes to unwatched places very often. One of these locations is office room shown on the above screen.

Other areas of the garage, where you can perform surprise attacks are the balcony and a small storage room (screen above), where your target makes a phone call - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Other areas of the garage, where you can perform surprise attacks are the balcony and a small storage room (screen above), where your target makes a phone call. While playing on higher difficulty levels I suggest choosing the latter option, because it is harder to find yourself alone with Landon.

An alternative method to get rid of Metcalf is killing him within explosion of a gas stove, which is located in the office room on the floor - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An alternative method to get rid of Metcalf is killing him within explosion of a gas stove, which is located in the office room on the floor. Turn on the stove and then hide in the closet or wait in one of side corridors. Once your target gets close to the stove, shoot it. If everything was done according to the plan, the explosion will be enough to kill Landon.

A completely different way of murdering Landon Metcalf is shooting him with a sniper rifle - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A completely different way of murdering Landon Metcalf is shooting him with a sniper rifle. As for reminder a sniper rifle Ilyon R700 can be found on the first floor of donuts shop and in order to get there you have to distract or remove a guard watching the stairs.

The best place to make a sniper shot is first floor of the convenience store (screen above), especially that a successful action is connected with completing one of additional challenges - Streets of Hope - Murdering Landon Metcalf - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best place to make a sniper shot is first floor of the convenience store (screen above), especially that a successful action is connected with completing one of additional challenges. Aim the outer balcony of the car garage and wait until Landon appears there. Note - if you haven't killed Tyler Colvin yet, watch out not be caught by him. After killing your target, holster the weapon, hide in the closet and wait until the situation in the area has been settled.

General assumptions: Gavin LeBlond walks mostly in the scrapyard area. You should eliminate this person as last target especially that he is in the area with door leading to the next stage of ninth game mission.

As already said, the scrapyard is the favorite place of Gavin LeBlond to be - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

As already said, the scrapyard is the favorite place of Gavin LeBlond to be. You get there in two main ways. The more obvious method is to use the main entrance (screen above), located right from the inaccessible barbershop. On lower difficulty levels only one cop guards the entrance, but on higher difficulty levels you'll encounter here at least two persons.

A good idea to distract policemen is to trigger an alarm in one of cars parked nearby - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A good idea to distract policemen is to trigger an alarm in one of cars parked nearby. After this action you can take the advantage of confusion or eliminate cops. In case of person standing next to the shutter it would be good to attack him from behind. Note - the nearest container is away from the scrapyard entrance so make sure that all your actions are done in right moments, so you have enough time to hide bodies.

Less obvious way to get to the scrapyard is crossing by the garage located at back of the barbershop - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Less obvious way to get to the scrapyard is crossing by the garage located at back of the barbershop. Start with going to the alley located between a barber ship and the car garage (screen above).

Ultimately, you have to get to the passage shown on the above screen - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Ultimately, you have to get to the passage shown on the above screen. Depending on your preferences, you can get to the scrapyard by neutralizing persons standing here, distracting them with a car alarm or sneaking past them (using Instinct to hide your identity).

When it comes to the scrapyard, it is inaccessible for unauthorized persons, so it is strongly advised to use disguise - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When it comes to the scrapyard, it is inaccessible for unauthorized persons, so it is strongly advised to use disguise. My recommendation is Hope policeman disguise. Depending on the difficulty level you have to watch out here for two or three other cops - one or two persons are patrolling main part of the scrapyard and a single cop stand at the fence located at the back of the scrapyard (screen above), near the passage from the car garage.

Once you get to the scrapyard you have to decide how you want to get rid of Gavin LeBlond - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to the scrapyard you have to decide how you want to get rid of Gavin LeBlond. The least original method is shooting or strangling him. The attack should be carried definitely somewhere near the previously mentioned fence, of course, after exploring and securing the area first.

A much better idea is to eliminate LeBlond in some kind of arranged accident and in this case you have as many as three solutions - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better idea is to eliminate LeBlond in some kind of arranged accident and in this case you have as many as three solutions. First of them is throwing Gavin into oil tank. The oil tank is located next to the main scrapyard entrance, so you should first deal with local policemen. Wait until LeBlond stops at the railing and push him (screen above).

Another method to murder LeBlond on the scrapyard involves electrocuting him - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method to murder LeBlond on the scrapyard involves electrocuting him. In order to do this, you have to get to the previously mentioned fence at the back of the scrapyard. Start with connecting the power supply to the fence. You have to wait until Gavin appears at the fence and pull the lever in the last moment (screen above).

The third variant is connected with a car garage, the area connecting the scrapyard with a side alley - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third variant is connected with a car garage, the area connecting the scrapyard with a side alley. The plan is to crush your target with a car located on the lift. Unfortunately, its realization is not easy and we start with eliminating all persons in the garage and around area.

But that's not all, because you must also encourage LeBlond to stop under the car on the lift and in order to do this it is best to use throwable items - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

But that's not all, because you must also encourage LeBlond to stop under the car on the lift and in order to do this it is best to use throwable items. After your target find him in the right place, quickly pull the lever shown on the above screen.

A completely different way of murdering Gavin LeBlond is shooting him with a sniper rifle - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A completely different way of murdering Gavin LeBlond is shooting him with a sniper rifle. As for reminder a sniper rifle Ilyon R700 can be found on the first floor of donuts shop and in order to get there you have to distract or remove a guard watching the stairs.

Stay in the room, where you've found a sniper rifle and place yourself at the first shutter from the right - Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stay in the room, where you've found a sniper rifle and place yourself at the first shutter from the right. Aim at the main entrance to the scrapyard. It is best to shoot when Gavin stops near the oil tank (screen above). After the successful assassination holster the weapon, hide in the closet near the stairs and wait until the situation in the area has settled.

General assumptions: You should decide to leave the town only after eliminating three main targets. Getting to the door of the barbershop unfortunately is not easy, especially if Hitman was sneaking so far and didn't use disguises.

Traditionally, before you make a decision about advancing to the next stage, you should spend few moments to find evidence - Streets of Hope - Getting to the back entrance - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Traditionally, before you make a decision about advancing to the next stage, you should spend few moments to find evidence. You can find it on the floor of the car garage, near the stairs and a toilet (screen above).

As for the current mission objective, the place you have to reach is the door shown on the above screen - Streets of Hope - Getting to the back entrance - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

As for the current mission objective, the place you have to reach is the door shown on the above screen. It is located at the back of the barbershop, inaccessible in a current stage, between the scrapyard and a garage adjacent to the alley with several parked cars.

You can get to the mentioned door in two ways - Streets of Hope - Getting to the back entrance - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get to the mentioned door in two ways. The first method is to cross the garage, where you can encounter at least two persons. Tips how to avoid them can be found in the Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond subchapter. As for reminder - the best way is to distract opponents with car alarm and use your Instinct to hide identity.

Another method is to cross the scrapyard - Streets of Hope - Getting to the back entrance - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method is to cross the scrapyard. Also in this case I suggest reading hints in the Murdering Gavin LeBlond subchapter. Especially watch out for the single cop standing next to the fence.

Regardless of the chosen path, you have to approach the door and start unlocking it - Streets of Hope - Getting to the back entrance - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the chosen path, you have to approach the door and start unlocking it. This process takes few seconds, so make sure that no one will notice you during this action. If you want to make beginning of next stage easier, I suggest putting on Hope policeman disguise, so after getting near the barbershop you won't have to carefully move between covers.

General objectives of the stage: Barbershop is the second and last stage of Shaving Lenny mission. This stage is slightly shorter than the previous one, but it doesn't mean that it is less demanding. Contrary, staying in hiding might be more problematic because of the smaller map. Two tasks to be done in this location are getting rid of new gang members and subduing Lenny.

Same as in the previous stage, it is good to spend some time to familiarize with a new location - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Same as in the previous stage, it is good to spend some time to familiarize with a new location. You start this stage in the courtyard in front of the barbershop. If you have Hope policeman disguise, then you can feel a little more freely. Otherwise almost immediately you have to start using covers, because you can be easily exposed by nearby cowboys, cops and Lenny's gang members.

You can get inside the barbershop in three ways - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get inside the barbershop in three ways. The first method is using the door shown on the above screen, located at the barbecue, where Mason McCready usually stands (one of new mission objectives). Choosing this passage is a good idea only if you have Hope policeman disguise and even then you have to use Instinct, because regardless of the difficulty level you may encounter a single cop here.

Another variant is to use the entrance to the building's basement - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another variant is to use the entrance to the building's basement. On lower difficulty levels a single policeman is stationing here but on higher difficulty levels prepare to encounter at least two cops here. Same as above use Instinct or distract them with any throwable item.

The last variant is to get to open shutters on the floor - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last variant is to get to open shutters on the floor. This is the best method in my opinion, especially if you do not have Hope policeman disguise. You have to start climbing in a place shown on the above screen - a small alley left from the entrance to the basement. What's interesting, after crossing on few ledges you do not have to go through the first found shutter, because you may as well skip it and use the next one.

The barbershop's basement is not guarded by anyone, but from time to time one of cowboys might walk in here, searching for hot sauce - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The barbershop's basement is not guarded by anyone, but from time to time one of cowboys might walk in here, searching for hot sauce. Important information is fact that on higher difficulty levels the stairs leading from the basement to the barbershop ground floor are guarded by at least one person.

During exploring the basement you should look around for a fuse box (screen above) - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During exploring the basement you should look around for a fuse box (screen above). By sabotaging it you'll turn off the TV set in the main room on the ground floor. As a result a cop will come to the basement, thanks to that you can easily get his disguise. If you're already wearing this disguise, you can use this opportunity and collect evidence lying on the TV set.

The barbershop ground floor consists mainly of main room, where Luke Wheeley and Lenny reside (new mission objectives) - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The barbershop ground floor consists mainly of main room, where Luke Wheeley and Lenny reside (new mission objectives). You should watch out here, because even on lower difficulty levels you can encounter here a single policeman. Other cops gather around the pool table on the landing.

The furthest room from the start place on the ground floor is a hair salon, where depending on the difficulty level you might encounter a single cop or no one - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The furthest room from the start place on the ground floor is a hair salon, where depending on the difficulty level you might encounter a single cop or no one. The most important thing which you can find here is ready-to-wear barber disguise. If you put it on you'll gain an access to almost all rooms in this location, and in addition no one will be able to expose you. What's more, you'll be able to subdue Lenny in the most peaceful way (more on this can be found in Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny subsection).

The first floor of the barbershop consists of two small room and several corridors - Barbershop - Exploring the barbershop - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first floor of the barbershop consists of two small room and several corridors. In side rooms you encounter no one. Corridors on the floor on higher difficulty levels are patrolled by two cops. So it would be good to sneak past them or lure at least one of them to a side room (to eliminate him or obtaining his clothes).

General assumptions: It would be best to eliminate Mason as a first victim, especially that he stands all the time on the courtyard near the starting place.

Mason McCready spends most of the time standing next to the barbecue located near the main entrance to the barbershop - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Mason McCready spends most of the time standing next to the barbecue located near the main entrance to the barbershop. As he us surrounded by other characters, attacking him directly is not recommended. But you should consider shooting a nearby gas cylinder. A more obvious place to shoot is the area near the starting place.

If you want to reduce the risk of detection, then a better place to shoot the gas cylinder is one of rooms on the building's floor (screen above) - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to reduce the risk of detection, then a better place to shoot the gas cylinder is one of rooms on the building's floor (screen above).

Fortunately you can also get rid of Mason without risking exposing Agent 47 - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Fortunately you can also get rid of Mason without risking exposing Agent 47. The first possibility in this case is swapping hot sauce. This is a multi-stage process and its consecutive steps must be done in a specific order. Start with exploring a corridor on the ground floor (the one near the main door), finding lighter fuel.

Now go to the basement and swap the hot sauce shown on the above screen with recently obtained lighter fuel - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now go to the basement and swap the hot sauce shown on the above screen with recently obtained lighter fuel.

Now just wait until McCready send one of his men for the sauce (for the first time or again) - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now just wait until McCready send one of his men for the sauce (for the first time or again). What's interesting, you do not have to do anything, just wait until using the lighter fuel will result in Mason's death. Moreover, it would be best in this case to be away from the "accident" place, to reduce the risk of detecting Agent 47 by enemies alarmed by death of their colleague.

Another option to silently eliminate Mason is electrocuting him - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another option to silently eliminate Mason is electrocuting him. Explore a small alley located near the entrance to the basement (the one with interactive ledge). Pick up the wrench and detach a wire shown on the above screen. Note - decide to perform this action after making sure that no one watches you (distract enemies if needed), because you can get exposed.

After detaching the wire, approach the lever shown on the above screen and wait for Mason, who will come here to urinate - Barbershop - Murdering Mason McCready - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After detaching the wire, approach the lever shown on the above screen and wait for Mason, who will come here to urinate. Pull it in the right moment, killing your target. After the action hide in the container or quickly walk away from this place, so you won't get exposed.

General assumptions: It would be good to eliminate Luke Wheeley after killing Mason, especially that he can be found in the near of Lenny - a person who should be eliminated at the end.

Luke Wheeley spends most of the time on the barbershop ground floor - Barbershop - Murdering Luke Wheeley - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Luke Wheeley spends most of the time on the barbershop ground floor. Do not try to attack him when he is surrounded by other armed characters. You can make your move once he gets to the corridor near the main entrance (screen above).

If you want to get rid of Wheeley in more original way, you can kill him using the explosion of gas stove - Barbershop - Murdering Luke Wheeley - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to get rid of Wheeley in more original way, you can kill him using the explosion of gas stove. The gas stove is located on the ground floor and no one will react if you try to turn it on.

After turning it on, it is best to withdraw to the corridor located at the main entrance to the building - Barbershop - Murdering Luke Wheeley - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After turning it on, it is best to withdraw to the corridor located at the main entrance to the building. Wait until Wheeley approaches the stove and shoot it with the pistol. If you've done everything according to the plan, your target should die because of the explosion.

The least obvious and not recommended way of murdering Luke is waiting until he gets to the courtyard and stops at the barbecue - Barbershop - Murdering Luke Wheeley - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The least obvious and not recommended way of murdering Luke is waiting until he gets to the courtyard and stops at the barbecue. You can them aim the gas cylinder. It is best to do this from one of the rooms of the barbershop first floor, reducing the risk of exposing Agent 47.

General assumptions: You should kill Lenny as your last target, because a successful elimination of this character results in finishing the entire mission.

Before we get into further details, remember that you have only to subdue Lenny - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before we get into further details, remember that you have only to subdue Lenny. So do not try to kill him and make sure that he won't die in an accident explosion, because this will mean failure of current mission. Your target spends most of the time in the main room of a barbershop (screen above) but from time to time he walks also to other places.

By far the best way to neutralize Lenny is using barber disguise - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

By far the best way to neutralize Lenny is using barber disguise. As for reminder, a ready-to-wear barber disguise can be found in the last room on the ground floor, in the salon (screen above).

After putting on barber disguise, just approach Lenny - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After putting on barber disguise, just approach Lenny. You won't alert him in this way. What's more, you'll encourage Lenny to go to the room where you've obtained the disguise. Note - if you still have to eliminate any of Lenny gang members, do it right now.

Go to the back of the salon, wait until Lenny sits on one of chairs and then approach him from behind and press interaction key/button, thus ending this stage - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go to the back of the salon, wait until Lenny sits on one of chairs and then approach him from behind and press interaction key/button, thus ending this stage. It is worth noting that even if there is a single cop in the area, you do not have to get rid of him or be afraid that he will expose you.

An alternative way to end this stage is dragging Lenny's body to one of exits - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An alternative way to end this stage is dragging Lenny's body to one of exits. This is not recommended by me, because opponents won't stay neutral seeing you dragging unconscious Lenny. If you want to try it anyway, then it is best to surprise Lenny in a corridor near the main entrance to the barbershop (screen above).

You can also neutralize Lenny by adding sleeping pills to a pizza - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can also neutralize Lenny by adding sleeping pills to a pizza. Sleeping pills can be found in one of room on the floor. Pizza is lying on the kitchen counter in the ground floor. Unfortunately it is carefully watched by at least two persons, so you should skillfully distract/kill them first.

Regardless of the way you subdued Lenny, you have to drag his body to the exit - Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny - 9: Shaving Lenny - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the way you subdued Lenny, you have to drag his body to the exit. Fortunately you have a choice, whether you want to return with the body to the starting place, or get to the door in the last room on the ground floor (barber salon).

General objectives of the stage: End of the Road is the very short mission, in which you have to decide what to do with kidnapped Lenny.

The least aggressive way to solve this situation is going to Hitman's car right after beginning of the mission - Desert - 10: End of the Road - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The least aggressive way to solve this situation is going to Hitman's car right after beginning of the mission. As the result Lenny will be left on the desert.

If you want to murder Lenny, you can beat him in a melee fight - Desert - 10: End of the Road - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to murder Lenny, you can beat him in a melee fight.

Another idea is using firearm - Desert - 10: End of the Road - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another idea is using firearm. In this case you can use Agent's 47 Silverballers or one of weapons taken from the car - M590 12GA shotgun, Aries Charging Ram revolver, STG 58 rifle or Ilyon R700 sniper rifle.

If you want to be more creative, you can use melee weapons - Desert - 10: End of the Road - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to be more creative, you can use melee weapons. Here is a list of available weapons:

  • baseball bat - you start the mission with this weapon in your inventory;
  • dog's bone - you can obtain it from one of graves or from the dead animal found in the area;
  • tomahawk - it's embedded in the tree;
  • bong - this item can be found at the grave far from the starting place;
  • wrench - it lies next to rocks near the Lenny's grave;
  • fire poker - in order to obtain this item you have to locate the wrecked stagecoach and detonate it by shooting the dynamite (screen above).
After the successful action you should additionally examine Lenny's body, finding Swiss Derringer - Desert - 10: End of the Road - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After the successful action you should additionally examine Lenny's body, finding Swiss Derringer. Regardless of how you eliminated Lenny, you have to interact with Agent's 47 vehicle in order to leave this location.

General objectives of the stage: Dead End is the first of four stages of Dexter Industries mission. This stage consists of two main parts and at the beginning you have to disable security systems - both, primary and backup.

You start the mission at the entrance to the Dexter Industries complex and this is the only place where you do not have to sneak - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start the mission at the entrance to the Dexter Industries complex and this is the only place where you do not have to sneak. If you want, you can make your further gameplay easier by obtaining factory guard disguise. The easiest way to do it is to trigger the alarm in one of cars parked near. Notice - on lower difficulty levels guards may ignore the alarm and in this case you can obtain the disguise later on.

Regardless of whether you decided to obtain a new disguise right away or stay in default Hitman's suit, your first step should be getting inside the first post shown on the above screen - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you decided to obtain a new disguise right away or stay in default Hitman's suit, your first step should be getting inside the first post shown on the above screen. Regardless of the difficulty level, there should be two persons in the area. Wait until they turn around/walk away and go through the shutter. After you get inside, interact with primary security system console.

Now you have to decide how you want to approach sawmill visible in a distance - a second post with backup security system can found be near there - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you have to decide how you want to approach sawmill visible in a distance - a second post with backup security system can found be near there. On lower difficulty levels it is best to go through the second shutter (screen above), because the main road to sawmill shouldn't be guarded by anyone.

On higher difficulty levels the mentioned road is guarded by at least one person - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On higher difficulty levels the mentioned road is guarded by at least one person. So it is best to return to the starting place and then head left. Locate a shutter shown on the above screen, but before you go further, make sure that no one looks at this side.

If you decide to walk near the main road, you have to watch out enemies located on the left side - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you decide to walk near the main road, you have to watch out enemies located on the left side. Use subsequent parked cars and other objects as covers.

If you move through the area left from the main road, you should stop at the cabin shown on the above screen - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you move through the area left from the main road, you should stop at the cabin shown on the above screen. You can perform two actions here: easily obtain factory guard disguise (wait until one of guards enters the cabin) and take a keycard lying on the table inside the cabin.

A keycard found in the cabin unlocks the access to a storage room located on the other side of the road, between first and second post (screen above) - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A keycard found in the cabin unlocks the access to a storage room located on the other side of the road, between first and second post (screen above). Inside the storage room you can find proximity mines, AH 74U submachinegun and factory guard disguise (you might take it if you haven't attacked anyone yet).

Your current target is a second post shown on the above screen, located to the right from sawmill - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current target is a second post shown on the above screen, located to the right from sawmill. Watch out guards staying in the area, using covers and Instinct. There are plenty of containers in the area, where you can hide bodies, so you can decide to eliminate single enemies.

After approaching the second post, place yourself at its shutter but do not go inside until local guards end the conversation and walk away - Dead End - Disabling primary and backup security systems - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After approaching the second post, place yourself at its shutter but do not go inside until local guards end the conversation and walk away. Only then carefully go inside the building and interact with backup security system console.

General assumptions: Disabling both security systems doesn't end first stage of eleventh game mission, because you still have to get inside sawmill. This task is not easy because even on lower difficulty levels there are many enemies in the area.

If you play on one of lower difficulty levels then you can try to get to the main sawmill entrance shown on the above screen, although you would have to use then Instinct regularly to hide your identity - Dead End - Locating sawmill entrance - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on one of lower difficulty levels then you can try to get to the main sawmill entrance shown on the above screen, although you would have to use then Instinct regularly to hide your identity.

On higher difficulty levels you should completely ignore the main entrance or use it as a last resort to distract enemies by shooting an explosive barrel, hoping that enemies will be confused after the explosion - Dead End - Locating sawmill entrance - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On higher difficulty levels you should completely ignore the main entrance or use it as a last resort to distract enemies by shooting an explosive barrel, hoping that enemies will be confused after the explosion.

A much better idea is going towards the left barn shown on the above screen - Dead End - Locating sawmill entrance - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better idea is going towards the left barn shown on the above screen. Regardless of the difficulty level you should encounter on your way only a single guard. It would be good to get rid of this person, so you won't have to worry about being spotted once you get inside the barn. But if you decide to do it, make sure that other guards gathered around the main entrance to sawmill won't spot you.

After crossing the barn approach the side entrance to sawmill shown on the above screen - Dead End - Locating sawmill entrance - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After crossing the barn approach the side entrance to sawmill shown on the above screen. Even on lower difficulty levels you should encounter here at least two enemies. Depending on your preferences you can try to sneak past them or use any throwable object and force them to go to the barn in order to safely eliminate them.

After getting inside the side room focus mainly on monitoring actions of at least one guard patrolling an adjacent corridor - Dead End - Locating sawmill entrance - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting inside the side room focus mainly on monitoring actions of at least one guard patrolling an adjacent corridor. You can also look around in order to find evidence shown on the above screen.

Regardless whether you have chosen the main or side entrance to sawmill, you have to reach the door shown on the above screen - Dead End - Locating sawmill entrance - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless whether you have chosen the main or side entrance to sawmill, you have to reach the door shown on the above screen. The opponent mentioned before may be omitted or eliminated in a safe spot. You can also use Instinct to hide your identity. As for the door itself, opening it takes several second so make sure that no one will spot you during this action.

General objectives of the stage: Old Mill is the second stage of Dexter Industries mission and it is definitely shorter than the previous one. Your main objective is to cross the titled sawmill, where you can encounter only few enemies or a large bunch of them, depending on the difficulty level.

Use the stairs and carefully approach the main mill room - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use the stairs and carefully approach the main mill room. On higher difficulty levels you'll encounter here a first enemy (screen above) and in this situation it would be good to eliminate him, especially that there is a container and a closet nearby, where you can hide up to four bodies.

Regardless of whether you eliminated the mentioned guard or not, you should get interested in a fuse box shown on the above screen - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you eliminated the mentioned guard or not, you should get interested in a fuse box shown on the above screen. After you sabotage it, another guard will come here, so you'll be able to neutralize him easily. If you do not want to eliminate anyone, you can skip this step or use the opportunity to sneak past the guard, when he checks the fuse box.

After getting into mill main room, collect the evidence lying on the TV set (if you have sabotaged the fuse box according to my suggestions, you should have no problems now) - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting into mill main room, collect the evidence lying on the TV set (if you have sabotaged the fuse box according to my suggestions, you should have no problems now). Now you have to decide how you want to get to the exit. First of all you can use nearby objects to distract subsequent guards luring them towards the starting point and them eliminating them safely. On higher difficulty levels you will have to do it with at least two persons.

If you prefer to avoid confrontation, you have to choose the method of reaching other end of mill - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you prefer to avoid confrontation, you have to choose the method of reaching other end of mill. First option is to grab a right edge shown on the above screen and walk over the ledge, Unfortunately you can get spotted easily, but on the other hand you could stop on a small balcony which can be used to distant attacks (e.g. with usage of Silverballers).

The second option is much more interesting and it involves choosing a passage located left from the console where guards were playing (screen above) - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second option is much more interesting and it involves choosing a passage located left from the console where guards were playing (screen above).

After getting to the end part of the main mill room, you'll encounter one or two new enemies - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting to the end part of the main mill room, you'll encounter one or two new enemies. The easiest way to resolve this situation is to use Instinct to reach the stairs as fast as possible. You could also get them from behind and stun them, kill them from a distance or use throwable object to distract them. Take this opportunity to look for a key card lying near the stairs (unless you have one already.

Regardless of whether you acted with the last group of enemies, go up the stairs to the upper level - Old Mill - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you acted with the last group of enemies, go up the stairs to the upper level. Cross the empty room and then walk over the ledge, Before you use the door leading to the next location, it would be good to collect AH 74U submachine gun lying nearby.

General objectives of the stage: Descent is the third out of four stages of Dexter Industries mission. The main objective of this stage is reaching the elevator, but before you can be able to do it, you must find a passage leading to the main complex of mines. On the way there Agent 47 has to watch out for enemies of course.

Follow the very linear path, descending and reaching a ladder after few moments - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Follow the very linear path, descending and reaching a ladder after few moments. Use it to descend to the lower level. After getting to the place shown on the above screen, "glue" to the wall and start moving to the left. Stop after reaching the first shutter because you'll be forced here to choose a method to reach the main part of mines complex.

The first option is to go through the shutter - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first option is to go through the shutter. There is an enemy standing by it by default and it would be easy to push him out of the window. If you do not want to have any casualties, you have to wait until the guard walks away from the shutter and then stun him or quickly walk past him, using Instinct if needed.

Do not hurry, because you'll encounter one or two new guards left from the shutter, depending on the difficulty level - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Do not hurry, because you'll encounter one or two new guards left from the shutter, depending on the difficulty level. You can kill these persons using the proximity mine found in the area, walk past them using Instinct or follow them, keeping a safe distance. The last method is the best one, because guards should turn left after a while, so you can avoid them easily.

Move a bit further, approaching wooden bridge with a metal gate - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move a bit further, approaching wooden bridge with a metal gate. I suggest hiding at the computer terminal shown on the above screen (it is possible only if you have a disguise) and carefully check the situation. The bridge is constantly patrolled by a single guard, but a second person may appear here from time to time, checking the entire area.

Wait until it gets safe here and only after that start your actions, heading towards the bridge - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until it gets safe here and only after that start your actions, heading towards the bridge. You can act here in two main ways. If you want to open the gate, you have to have a key card. In that case you have also to hurry up, so the guard on the bridge won't spot you (I do not recommend pushing him because that would alarm enemies stationing in the mines).

If you do not have a key card or you do not want to risk too much, a better idea is to move towards the edge of the bridge, descend and then move to the left or right in order to omit the gate - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not have a key card or you do not want to risk too much, a better idea is to move towards the edge of the bridge, descend and then move to the left or right in order to omit the gate.

Both methods described above will allow you to get to the area occupied by three (probably) guards - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Both methods described above will allow you to get to the area occupied by three (probably) guards. Walk past the enemy near the railing (he may go towards the bridge, making your plan easier), using Instinct or throwable objects to distract him. It is best to walk past the rest two guards before they finish their conversation and walk away.

The second option is to omit the shutter and in order to do it you have to wait until the nearby guard walks away or push him - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second option is to omit the shutter and in order to do it you have to wait until the nearby guard walks away or push him. After that move further to the left and after reaching the place shown on the above screen, descend in order to reach a lower balcony.

Head towards the stairs, reaching an interactive ledge after few moments - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Head towards the stairs, reaching an interactive ledge after few moments. Walk over the ledge and drop down again. Your target is a passage shown on the above screen.

Regardless of the difficulty level you must recon with the fact that there are three persons in the near area - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the difficulty level you must recon with the fact that there are three persons in the near area. Two of them are standing on the right and the third guard is visible in the distance, leaning against the railing. It is best to use Instinct to walk past enemies.

If you do not have Instinct and/or disguise, then the better solution is to use throwable objects (e - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not have Instinct and/or disguise, then the better solution is to use throwable objects (e.g. bottles or canisters) found in the area. In such situation wait until enemies on the right end their conversation and walk away. Make a noise right from the passage near you and wait until guard appears here (screen above). Depending on your preferences you can throw him over the railing, stun him or sneak past him. Avoiding the rest of enemies should be easier, because they will walk away from this place.

Regardless of the way you act, you should get near the passage leading to the main mine complex (screen above) - Descent - Getting into mines - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the way you act, you should get near the passage leading to the main mine complex (screen above). Before you use it, I recommend exploring the area guarded by two security guards, because you can find there evidence.

General objectives of the stage: Crossing mines is quite demanding, although it is somehow non-linear. Your main objectives are to restore the power and to use the elevator in order to get to the factory building.

Go down the stairs to the lower level - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go down the stairs to the lower level. Stop at the place shown on the above screen and wait until local guards end their conversation. Same as previously you have to decide how you want to reach further part of mines.

First option is to use a metal gate, through which guards mentioned previously will walk - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

First option is to use a metal gate, through which guards mentioned previously will walk. If you have a key card, then it is best to wait until your enemies walk away and then use it.

If you do not have a key card then you have to keep a short distance from guard, so you can walk through the gate until it closes - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not have a key card then you have to keep a short distance from guard, so you can walk through the gate until it closes. This is of course more risky, but after walking through the gate you can stop for a moment.

The second method involves going right (screen above) - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second method involves going right (screen above). Using this passage is a good idea only if you do not have a key card and you didn't make it to go through the gate, because there are several new enemies in the area. You can easily omit the first guard, because he should stand leaning against the railing.

Approach the hut shown on the above screen - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Approach the hut shown on the above screen. There are two guards on the ground floor. But more important is upper floor, because on higher difficulty levels you can encounter there one more enemy. You will have to wait until he walks away from the shutter and then stun him or quickly walk past him.

Use the ladder inside the hut, getting to the upper floor and thus omitting local guards - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use the ladder inside the hut, getting to the upper floor and thus omitting local guards. Now choose one of two entrances to the mines (notice - if you want to carefully explore the area, you should look around for proximity mines and STG 58 Elite assault rifle).

Regardless of your behavior you should reach the mine, where a briefing takes place (screen above) - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of your behavior you should reach the mine, where a briefing takes place (screen above). If you do not have anything against eliminating enemies, you can shoot an explosive barrel or throw a proximity mine. If you're lucky, you can eliminate all enemies or at least most of them.

Personally I recommend waiting until the briefing is over, because enemies will walk away then and only few of them will stay in the area - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Personally I recommend waiting until the briefing is over, because enemies will walk away then and only few of them will stay in the area. Spend some moment to get into the current situation. I do not advise hiding in small room on the left, because one of enemies may look inside from time to time. Get interested in new computer terminal located in the central part of the mine, allowing you to successfully remain in hiding (only in disguise of course).

It is best to wait until all local guards reach their posts, leaving only their leader guarding the passage to the further part of the mines - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It is best to wait until all local guards reach their posts, leaving only their leader guarding the passage to the further part of the mines. Depending on your preferences you can distract him (throwable object or radio found in the area), kill him or get past him, using Instinct of course.

After reaching a new part of the mines you'll almost immediately encounter two or three enemies, depending on the difficulty level - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching a new part of the mines you'll almost immediately encounter two or three enemies, depending on the difficulty level. Wait until guards end first part of their conversation and follow them. During the walk try to keep a safe distance from other enemies in the area, using nearby pillars or other such objects as covers.

All three enemies should stop at the place shown on the above screen - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

All three enemies should stop at the place shown on the above screen. Do not wait for end of their conversation, but quickly go towards the left stairs. Only after reaching your target, stop for a moment. Wait until guards leave this place.

Return to the place where guards were talking and locate a lever shown on the above screen - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the place where guards were talking and locate a lever shown on the above screen. When you pull it, the power will be restored in this part of the mines. Notice - if the lever is guarded by someone all the time then use throwable object to distract guards.

Quickly head towards the stairs again and go down - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Quickly head towards the stairs again and go down. You have to reckon with the fact that unfortunately at least one guard may quickly appear here. In such situation hide behind one of the walls (screen above) and wait until he leaves the place or neutralize him (there are no other enemies in the area).

Regardless of the course of events locate a button which starts the generator - Descent - Reaching the elevator - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the course of events locate a button which starts the generator. Wait for the elevator, enter it and press another button, thus ending the third stage.

General objectives of the stage: Factory Compound is the last stage of eleventh game mission. It is also by far longest stage and with the highest level of freedom. Your objective is getting inside the factory compound, but first you will have to safely get closer to main complex of Dexter Industries.

Go up the stairs and head towards the mines' exit - Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go up the stairs and head towards the mines' exit. You'll encounter an enemy there and you can act in two main ways: let him go away and focus only on getting to the compound or eliminate him. In the latter case I recommend attacking him when he stops by the tree or he gets close to the container where you can hide his body.

Near the mines' exit you can find very valuable weapon - Kazo TRG sniper rifle (screen above) - Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Near the mines' exit you can find very valuable weapon - Kazo TRG sniper rifle (screen above). I recommend collecting this weapon, unless you do not plan to eliminate local enemies silently.

If you've picked up the sniper rifle, it is worth to place yourself at the observation point shown on the above screen - Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've picked up the sniper rifle, it is worth to place yourself at the observation point shown on the above screen. It is a good idea to eliminate all enemies stationing on the nearby bridge, but wait until enemies split up. Look for targets standing at the edge, so you'll automatically get rid of their bodies. Elimination of more distant targets is up to you - you can take out a guard patrolling factory rooftop among others.

Regardless of how you were acting, you have to go towards the bridge leading to the factory compound - Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of how you were acting, you have to go towards the bridge leading to the factory compound. If the area is clear, you can keep moving. Otherwise you have to start avoiding enemies here.

Depending on your preferences you can try to use covers together with Instinct or approach one of edges and drop down - Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Depending on your preferences you can try to use covers together with Instinct or approach one of edges and drop down. In the latter case it is very important to know, that you are not safe because if the guard stops above you, he will spot you even on lower difficulty levels. So you have to move slowly in that position, waiting until guards turn around and walk away from their posts.

After reaching the other side of the bridge, make sure that the guard who may appear here won't spot you - Factory Compound - Reaching the main complex - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching the other side of the bridge, make sure that the guard who may appear here won't spot you. I recommend staying longer at this place and planning your further actions.

General objectives of the stage: Getting inside the factory compound is the next important step and this is not very easy to achieve, because even on lower difficulty levels there are many security guards and other characters in the area, which can easily expose Agent 47.

There are several ways to get inside the factory compound - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are several ways to get inside the factory compound. First of them is getting to the rooftop. In order to do this, go to the left, using the narrow ledge shown on the above screen.

Carefully walk past machinery, which should be occupied by a single guard and a single truck driver - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Carefully walk past machinery, which should be occupied by a single guard and a single truck driver. Eventually you should reach a shutter shown on the above screen. You should watch out here, because this area is patrolled by a single guard, who can occasionally stop just here.

After getting through the shutter you'll find yourself in the area guarded by two guards - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After getting through the shutter you'll find yourself in the area guarded by two guards. One of them constantly moves and another stands at the set place, neat the dog cage. If you plan to eliminate local enemies, then start with killing the guard patrolling the area and then distract the second opponent, e.g. using the radio. In case of more peaceful gameplay you might use Instinct to quickly move past those characters.

If there is such opportunity, you should look into a storage located on the left - you need a key card to open it (more on finding the card is written later on) - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If there is such opportunity, you should look into a storage located on the left - you need a key card to open it (more on finding the card is written later on). Inside the storage you'll find proximity mines, STG 58 Elite assault rifle and unique Chipmunk costume (when wearing it you have same access level as truck drivers).

In order to get to the factory's rooftop, you have to start climbing at the place shown on the above screen - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to get to the factory's rooftop, you have to start climbing at the place shown on the above screen. Grab subsequent edges and move over narrow ledges. You should not have big problems with that and you won't get spotted during these actions.

The factory's rooftop is patrolled by a single person regardless of the difficulty level - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The factory's rooftop is patrolled by a single person regardless of the difficulty level. You can sneak past the guard or eliminate him. It is also worth to explore the room on the rooftop - you'll find remote explosives and one more Kazo TRG sniper rifle there. Ultimately you have to locate a ladder shown on the above screen.

Another way of getting inside the factory building is using the main entrance - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another way of getting inside the factory building is using the main entrance. In order to do this, you have to reach the stairs shown on the above screen, leading to the upper door.

As the square in front on the factory compound is patrolled by many security guards, it is worth to consider obtaining truck driver disguise - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

As the square in front on the factory compound is patrolled by many security guards, it is worth to consider obtaining truck driver disguise. But you should know that it will be more difficult to stay in hiding once you get inside the factory, while wearing this disguise. If you want to try it anyway, then I recommend neutralizing a civilian on the parking lot or one of persons visiting the canteen toilet (you can get inside the toilet by walking over a ledge and then using the open shutter).

The third method to get inside the factory is using the side entrance for staff and special guests - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third method to get inside the factory is using the side entrance for staff and special guests. But first you have to get there and in order to do this it is best to use a ventilation shaft shown on the above screen, located at the canteen (this is a building closest to the bridge).

After exiting the shaft, move to the right, using vehicles and other objects as covers - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After exiting the shaft, move to the right, using vehicles and other objects as covers. A side entrance to the factory building is shown on the above screen. I do not recommend getting there disguised as a security guard, because you may be exposed even on lower difficulty levels. It would be also difficult to distract both guards guarding the passage.

The best method to guarantee the safest access to the factory building is obtaining arms dealer disguise - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best method to guarantee the safest access to the factory building is obtaining arms dealer disguise. Explore the square right from the factory, finding the proper person (arms dealer is wearing a suit and can be found near the red sport car).

Since the arms dealer keeps standing on the square, you have to lure him to some secluded place - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Since the arms dealer keeps standing on the square, you have to lure him to some secluded place. A good spot to attack him is a warehouse shown on the above screen. You can also explore this area, finding there a key card among other things (you can use it to open a storage mentioned earlier, located left from the main entrance to the factory).

Start with eliminating enemies inside the warehouse and then start alarms in cars parked nearby - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start with eliminating enemies inside the warehouse and then start alarms in cars parked nearby. At the beginning only security guards will be lured by that by after a while arms dealer also will come to check it out.

After obtaining arms dealer disguise, you can go to the main entrance or to the side entrance for staff and guests mentioned earlier (screen above) - Factory Compound - Getting inside the factory building - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After obtaining arms dealer disguise, you can go to the main entrance or to the side entrance for staff and guests mentioned earlier (screen above). By the way - arms dealer disguise has two huge advantages: you have full access to all areas and no one can expose you.

General objectives of the stage: Getting into the lobby of main building aims to approaching the elevator, which is the ultimate goal of this mission. Depending on your disguise and ways chosen previously, this can be very easy or very difficult to achieve.

If you got into the factory building through the rooftop or the main entrance, then you'll find yourself at the reception shown on the above screen - Factory Compound - Accessing the factory building lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you got into the factory building through the rooftop or the main entrance, then you'll find yourself at the reception shown on the above screen. Depending on your disguise it might be necessary to avoid local security guards (you might "glue" to the counter) or truck drivers (it is best to wait until one of them ends the conversation with receptionist).

If you have arms dealer disguise, you can go through the reception right away, because you won't get stopped by anyone - Factory Compound - Accessing the factory building lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have arms dealer disguise, you can go through the reception right away, because you won't get stopped by anyone. If you have other disguise (or you do not use them at all), then try to reach toilets located right from the reception as fast as possible.

After reaching the toilets, locate an entrance to the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen - Factory Compound - Accessing the factory building lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching the toilets, locate an entrance to the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen. Go through the shaft but before you exit it, make sure that no one is looking at. Carefully sneak past receptionist's back and at least one security guard.

Carefully move through the corridor connecting reception with lobby, reaching the place shown on the above screen - Factory Compound - Accessing the factory building lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Carefully move through the corridor connecting reception with lobby, reaching the place shown on the above screen. Before you perform any further actions, wait until another worker ends a conversation with one of security guards.

If you get inside the factory building using the side entrance for staff and special guests, then you will have to walk through not long corridor - Factory Compound - Accessing the factory building lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you get inside the factory building using the side entrance for staff and special guests, then you will have to walk through not long corridor. I assume of course that you have arms dealer disguise, because otherwise you should keep sneaking and using Instinct to hide true identity of Agent 47.

General objectives of the stage: The last objective in eleventh campaign mission is to get to another side of the lobby and access the elevator.

If you do not have to sneak in the lobby (arms dealer disguise), then you can go to the elevator visible in a distance right away - Factory Compound - Accessing the elevator in lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not have to sneak in the lobby (arms dealer disguise), then you can go to the elevator visible in a distance right away.

If you have to avoid being spotted or exposed, then I recommend using glass cases in the lobby as covers, jumping between adjacent cases, thus shortening the time of being exposed - Factory Compound - Accessing the elevator in lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have to avoid being spotted or exposed, then I recommend using glass cases in the lobby as covers, jumping between adjacent cases, thus shortening the time of being exposed.

An interesting idea to distract enemies and eliminate at least few of them is using proximity mines found in this area - Factory Compound - Accessing the elevator in lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An interesting idea to distract enemies and eliminate at least few of them is using proximity mines found in this area. After that you could use the confusion and quickly go to the elevator.

Fortunately using the proximity mines is not required in this case - Factory Compound - Accessing the elevator in lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Fortunately using the proximity mines is not required in this case. If you want to stay hidden in the lobby, you should choose a side corridor shown on the above screen. In the meantime try to avoid guards, which are busy with patrolling the area.

Before leaving this location it would be worth to obtain evidence shown on the above screen, lying on the desk in a central part of the lobby - Factory Compound - Accessing the elevator in lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before leaving this location it would be worth to obtain evidence shown on the above screen, lying on the desk in a central part of the lobby. This is very easy if you're using arms dealer disguise. Otherwise you might have to distract guards or use Instinct.

Your current goal is the elevator shown on the above screen - Factory Compound - Accessing the elevator in lobby - 11: Dexter Industries - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current goal is the elevator shown on the above screen. Press the button to call the elevator and hide near it because a single guard may also use the elevator. If that happens, patiently wait until he exits the elevator and walks away. Entering the elevator will end this mission.

General objectives of the stage: Test Facility is the first of three stages of Death Factory mission. Main objectives of this stage are to eliminate Dr. Marcus Green and disable security systems, but before it becomes possible, first you have to enter the main part of the facility.

Move straight ahead - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Move straight ahead. After reaching the fork choose the right corridor and enter the left room. You should see guards questioning a scientist in an adjacent room. You do not have to worry about them because you're standing in front of one-way mirror, so no one can see you. But you have to figure out how to get inside that room and recover stolen files.

The most aggressive option involves using Silverballers to deal with security guards - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The most aggressive option involves using Silverballers to deal with security guards. If you plan to act like this, I recommend using point shooting. After the successful action go through the damaged shutter and collect stolen files.

If you do not want to kill anyone then take a keycard from the room you're in and return to the previous corridor - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not want to kill anyone then take a keycard from the room you're in and return to the previous corridor. Use the keycard to unlock the passage shown on the above screen.

Now you can act in two ways - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you can act in two ways. First option is to wait until guards break interrogation for few moments. One of them will appear here (screen above). You have to stun/kill him and put on factory guard disguise. Now enter the interrogation room and collect stolen files, using Instinct when needed.

Another option is to distract guards and this is a better idea because you will not risk too much nor use Instinct - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another option is to distract guards and this is a better idea because you will not risk too much nor use Instinct. Locate a fire alarm switch shown on the above screen and use it.

Quickly move to a spot shown on the above screen - a counter near the room with guards - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Quickly move to a spot shown on the above screen - a counter near the room with guards. Wait until one of them comes out to check the alarm and then quickly enter the room. Collect the stolen files and return behind the cover (another guard should face other direction).

Once you have stolen files, return to the room where you earlier found a keycard - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you have stolen files, return to the room where you earlier found a keycard. Interact with a computer terminal shown on the above screen in order to unlock a passage to test facility.

Before you leave this area, I suggest obtaining any disguise (unless you do not want to attack anyone) - Test Facility - Accessing the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before you leave this area, I suggest obtaining any disguise (unless you do not want to attack anyone). It is best to obtain factory guard disguise, but if you do not have anything against aggressive gameplay, you can eliminate an interrogated person and obtain scientist disguise right now. Regardless of your choice, head to the newly unlocked passage (screen above), reaching an elevator which will take you to the test facility.

General assumptions: Test Facility is quite vast and in addition two-level location. It would be good to explore it carefully, obtaining new equipment and disguises and getting familiar with areas regularly visited by Dr. Green.

A main part of the test facility (careen above) is a place, where you can encounter both scientists and security guards, although on lower difficulty levels there are fewer guards - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A main part of the test facility (careen above) is a place, where you can encounter both scientists and security guards, although on lower difficulty levels there are fewer guards. You can freely move on the entire square, but you should now that local minefields are activated from time to time. Fortunately Dr. Green informs about that fact in advance, giving local characters enough time to avoid an accident.

A corridor located left from the main area (screen above) is not easily accessible, because you should get to the door one mock-up building - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A corridor located left from the main area (screen above) is not easily accessible, because you should get to the door one mock-up building. If you want to avoid guards standing next to the elevator then jump over a fence instead of walking past them.

A corridor located right from the main area (screen above) is occupied mainly by security guards so if you do not have scientist disguise, it would be good to keep away or use much Instinct - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A corridor located right from the main area (screen above) is occupied mainly by security guards so if you do not have scientist disguise, it would be good to keep away or use much Instinct. There are two keycards to be found in the area.

At the end of the right corridor you can find a storage shown on the above screen - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

At the end of the right corridor you can find a storage shown on the above screen. It would be best to examine it after obtaining scientist disguise and that's because elimination of a local guard could be easily spotted and because scientists have full access to the storage room, so you won't be stopped. Inside the storage you can find remote explosives, which can be used to murder Dr. Green.

I do not recommend reaching buildings located on the other side of the test facility with main stairs, because on your way there you may encounter both scientists and factory guards, so you could be easily exposed - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I do not recommend reaching buildings located on the other side of the test facility with main stairs, because on your way there you may encounter both scientists and factory guards, so you could be easily exposed. Instead of that I suggest using upper balconies that can be reached with several ladders. The easiest way there is a ladder located left from the starting place (screen above), especially if you do not have any disguise or use factory guard disguise.

Depending on difficulty level you can encounter three or four guards on upper balconies - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Depending on difficulty level you can encounter three or four guards on upper balconies. I do not recommend eliminating them or pushing them down, unless you need disguise. It is beast to sneak past security guards, moving along the right wall of the test facility.

The main room in previously mentioned buildings in the test facility is a control room shown on the above screen - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The main room in previously mentioned buildings in the test facility is a control room shown on the above screen. There should be three scientists and two or three security guards in the area, so you have to carefully plan your moves, observe actions of people who can expose you and use Instinct when needed.

The control room can be reached not only with main corridors but also with other ways - through shutters for example - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The control room can be reached not only with main corridors but also with other ways - through shutters for example. Look around the area if possible, because you can find there evidence shown on the above screen.

Directly under the control room you can find two smaller rooms - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Directly under the control room you can find two smaller rooms. In one of them you'll encounter guards and it would be best to wait until they split up. There is also a ready-to-wear factory guard disguise inside and several proximity mines. In another room you'll encounter a single facility worker (screen above) and this is an ideal candidate to obtain scientist disguise, especially that there is a container nearby, where you can hide his body.

The last important areas in the test facility are balconies located behind buildings (screen above) - Test Facility - Exploring the test facility - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last important areas in the test facility are balconies located behind buildings (screen above). You can explore there two levels of balconies, occupied mainly by factory guards, so it would be best to do it while wearing scientist disguise. Good news is that you can easily push enemies over railings, thus removing their bodies.

General assumptions: Dr. Marcus Green walks along the entire test facility, but he regularly visits same places, which greatly facilitates planning his elimination.

You can get rid of Dr - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get rid of Dr. Marcus Green in several ways and the least original is shooting him. You can shoot him while exploring upper balconies, waiting until Green reaches the main area of the test facility in order to talk to scientists.

Another aggressive way to eliminate Green is detonating proximity mine - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another aggressive way to eliminate Green is detonating proximity mine. In order to do this you may use one of mines found under the main control room, arming it or placing it on stairs shown on the above screen.

Proximity mines are not only explosive objects available in the test facility because you may also use remote explosives - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Proximity mines are not only explosive objects available in the test facility because you may also use remote explosives. As a reminder - remote explosives are stored in a storage room on the ground floor, at the end of the right corridor (screen above). In order to safely obtain them it is best to wear scientist disguise. Additionally you need a keycard (there are two of them in the area). After picking up one of explosives place it anywhere along Marcus route and then detonate it in a proper moment.

A good idea is to silently murder Green and get rid of his body - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A good idea is to silently murder Green and get rid of his body. This action should be carried out when the scientist appears in one of rooms under the main control room (screen above). After silent execution drag his body to the closet.

You can also drop the body to a waste tank located behind main buildings - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can also drop the body to a waste tank located behind main buildings. Stop at the place shown on the above screen and wait for Marcus. Get rid of the scientist in any way (with garrote for example), pick up his body and throw it over the railing.

All other methods of eliminating Dr - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

All other methods of eliminating Dr. Green are connected with arranged accidents. First of all you can tear him to pieces by activating a mine field in the main room of the test facility. In this case start with getting to the control room shown on the above screen (I recommend using factory guard disguise).

Wait, until Green gets to the bottom and ends the briefing with other scientists - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait, until Green gets to the bottom and ends the briefing with other scientists. Your target should then place himself in the middle of one of minefields and in this very moment you must perform your actions. Interact with button which releases test pigs (screen above). Notice - pressing the button may be spotted by nearby people and considered aggressive. In such case you must quickly leave the control room or eliminate/distract those persons earlier.

Another arranged accident during which Dr - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another arranged accident during which Dr. Green might get killed is an accidental explosion of proximity mine constructed by him. Start with getting to rooms located under the main control room. In the room with several guards and a security system terminal look for a proximity detector (screen above).

Take it and move to the other room, connecting the detector to the proximity mine shown on the above screen - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Take it and move to the other room, connecting the detector to the proximity mine shown on the above screen. Now you only have to wait for Green, who will die in explosion. Notice: if you do not want a scientist to die in the explosion too, stun him and remove his body before arming the mine. After connecting the detector to proximity mine, do not approach it because you may cause the explosion and die.

The last of arranged accidents is to break a glass floor in the main control room - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last of arranged accidents is to break a glass floor in the main control room. Stay at the ground floor, placing yourself in the left corridor for example, where you can see the control room and its glass floor (screen above).

Wait, until Marcus appears at the mine activation button and then begin your actions - Test Facility - Murdering Dr. Green - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait, until Marcus appears at the mine activation button and then begin your actions. You have shoot the floor with Silverballers three times until it breaks, so make sure that there are no enemies in the area or eliminate them first.

General assumptions: At the end of your visit in the test facility you'll have to disable local security system. It is not difficult to accomplish and shouldn't take much time.

Security system terminal can be found in one of rooms under the main security rooms - Test Facility - Disabling the security system - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Security system terminal can be found in one of rooms under the main security rooms. By default you should encounter two guards there (screen above).

You may act here in two main ways - Test Facility - Disabling the security system - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You may act here in two main ways. First method is to sabotage fuse box in an adjacent room and then attack each guard by a surprise. Another option is to wait until guards leave this area. The latter one is better of course especially that you do not have to worry that guards will return to the terminal room.

Now there is only one thing left - accessing the door leading to the decontamination - Test Facility - Disabling the security system - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now there is only one thing left - accessing the door leading to the decontamination. In order to do this, return to the starting place (the elevator). Decontamination door can be found on the right (screen above).

General objectives of the stage: Decontamination is the second and at the same time the shortest stage of Death Factory mission. Your main objective is accessing the door leading to silo and as you've probably guessed, it is very well guarded.

Follow characters visible in front of you - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Follow characters visible in front of you. Move past the room where one of the guards walks in - there is nothing interesting inside except more hostile characters. Stop after reaching the main area of explored location - a locker room.

In the locker room you can encounter both factory guards and scientists, so you have to watch out not to be exposed - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the locker room you can encounter both factory guards and scientists, so you have to watch out not to be exposed. During the exploration of the area ignore the right door, because it leads to the canteen, where a party takes place (this area is connected with one of challenges). It is worth noting that near one of closets you can find ready-to-wear scientist disguise (screen above) and it can be helpful while obtaining a secret described later.

If, for a change, you would like to obtain factory guard disguise, the safest way to do it is to enter the shower room located on the left - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If, for a change, you would like to obtain factory guard disguise, the safest way to do it is to enter the shower room located on the left. Find a valve shown on the above screen and turn it thus "encouraging" one of guards to check the problem. Use the advantage of very limited range of view of your enemies and kill or stun the guard, getting rid of his body in a nearby chute.

Before leaving the decontamination you have to disable one more security system and in order to do this you have to get into the right room, with several guards watching TV - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before leaving the decontamination you have to disable one more security system and in order to do this you have to get into the right room, with several guards watching TV. Regardless of the difficulty level I recommend using the shutter to get inside, thus avoiding the guard watching the entrance.

A computer terminal you're looking for is shown on the above screen - during hacking you won't be luckily exposed by characters gathered here - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A computer terminal you're looking for is shown on the above screen - during hacking you won't be luckily exposed by characters gathered here. But this simplification doesn't apply to evidence lying on the table. In order to safely collect this secret it would be best to use scientist disguise or (after stunning one of persons wearing blue clothes) researcher disguise.

If you play on lower difficulty levels then you can reach silo with the main passage shown on the above screen - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on lower difficulty levels then you can reach silo with the main passage shown on the above screen. But in this situation you have to wear factory guard disguise (scientist disguise is not enough) and use Instinct so none of guards can expose you.

A safest way to get to your target is a ventilation shaft - Decontamination - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A safest way to get to your target is a ventilation shaft. Its entrance is located in the toilet adjacent to the room with guards watching TV (screen above). After exiting the shaft turn left. Regardless of your actions, you need to access the door leading to the silo (R&D).

General objectives of the stage: R&D is the third stage of Death Factory mission. Most important objectives in this stage are murdering two new scientists - Dr. Raymond Valentine and Dr. Edward Ashford. Due to the unique vertical design of the map and the presence of large number of personnel in the area, these objectives are not easy to achieve.

Exploration of the silo starts on its highest level and your task is to get to its lower levels, eliminating Dr - R&D - Exploring R&D - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Exploration of the silo starts on its highest level and your task is to get to its lower levels, eliminating Dr. Valentine first (he walks between several levels) and then Dr. Ashford (he stays on the silo's lowest level).

Important information about the research department is that the main stairs even on lower levels are guarded by many factory guards - R&D - Exploring R&D - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Important information about the research department is that the main stairs even on lower levels are guarded by many factory guards. You have to react somehow to that fact. First solution is, of course, using the side stairs located in the conference room, close to the starting points. If you choose these stairs, you'll be able to avoid most of patrols.

The second, a much better option in my opinion, is obtaining researcher disguise (if you already have it, you can skip this step) - R&D - Exploring R&D - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second, a much better option in my opinion, is obtaining researcher disguise (if you already have it, you can skip this step). Also in this case I recommend going to the conference room. Locate a radio, turn it on and wait until one of researchers comes to turn it off. Attack this person, preferably by stunning him and hiding his body in the closet.

When you reach the lowest floor, after eliminating Dr - R&D - Exploring R&D - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When you reach the lowest floor, after eliminating Dr. Valentine (the walkthrough can be found in the next subchapter), you'll find factory guard disguise more helpful. In this case you can return to the top and get the disguise left there or attack one of single guards, for example the enemy at the previously mentioned side stairs (screen above).

Notice - I do not recommend exploring the lower part of the silo (where Dr. Ashford stays), until you murder Dr. Valentine, because otherwise you would have to unnecessarily return to upper levels.

General assumptions: Dr. Raymond Valentine should die first, because he walks in locations near the starting points. As always, the game will offer you several methods of eliminating him.

The least original way to eliminate Dr - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The least original way to eliminate Dr. Valentine is shooting him when he walks between silo's levels. So place yourself near the railing, where guards can't spot you (you can neutralize enemies if there are any). I personally do not recommend this solution, because there is a high risk of being exposed and you will unnecessarily alarm persons in other parts of the location.

Another aggressive method is using a proximity mine or remote explosives - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another aggressive method is using a proximity mine or remote explosives. Both objects can be found in a test facility. After obtaining a mine or remote explosives it is enough to plant them on Raymond's route and wait for him to come (try to avoid unnecessary casualties to not lower your score too much).

Personally I recommend arranging one of three possible accidents to kill Raymond - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Personally I recommend arranging one of three possible accidents to kill Raymond. First option is to imprison him in a bomb chamber. Start with using the main staircase and locate a test chamber entrance located on one of upper silo's levels (screen above).

Once you get inside the new room, you'll find yourself accompanied by one factory guards and two scientists, so you have to start using covers right away - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside the new room, you'll find yourself accompanied by one factory guards and two scientists, so you have to start using covers right away. You can act here in two ways. If you want to eliminate all characters here then use the computer terminal shown on the above screen to start on a robotic arm. Stun or kill the person who will appear here and then take care of others (if you want, you can leave alone the scientist, who never moves out of his place).

If you do not want to eliminate anyone and just stay in hiding, then distracts people here by activating a radio shown on the above screen - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you do not want to eliminate anyone and just stay in hiding, then distracts people here by activating a radio shown on the above screen. You should decide to do it only after Dr. Valentine comes here, so the radio won't be turned off to early.

Regardless of your behavior you have to wait until Raymond gets inside the bomb chamber - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of your behavior you have to wait until Raymond gets inside the bomb chamber. After that, quickly use the chamber terminal shown on the above screen, thus eliminating the scientist. What's interesting - his death will be unnoticed so you do not have to worry about panic among local characters.

Another accident in which Raymond can die, is swapping fire paste for hair restorer - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another accident in which Raymond can die, is swapping fire paste for hair restorer. Start with using the main staircase and locating one of two entrances to a chemical lab, located in the middle part of the silo (screen above).

There are two scientists inside the lab, but you do not have to kill him, because they should be busy with work - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are two scientists inside the lab, but you do not have to kill him, because they should be busy with work. An exception is a situation, when Dr. Valentine appears in the lab, but in such case you can hide behind one of the lab devices. This plan of murdering Valentine consists of two parts. Start with exploring an empty lab room, collecting fire paste there (screen above).

Now return to the room with two scientists and spike the paste with baldness cure (screen above) - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now return to the room with two scientists and spike the paste with baldness cure (screen above).

Now wait until Dr - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now wait until Dr. Valentine appears and test the product. The scientist will die in a rather spectacular way, but his death shouldn't alarm Dr. Ashford and other people stationing at the bottom of the silo.

The last possible arranged accident assumes using the mega-taser - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last possible arranged accident assumes using the mega-taser. In order to do this, you have to go to the special weapons room. You can get there from the main staircase (screen above) or stairs from the side of conference room on the top level of the silo.

Once you get there, start with walking to the records room - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get there, start with walking to the records room. You can find there Ashford's notebook and more important - safety codes (screen above).

Return to special weapons room - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to special weapons room. There are two scientists and one guard inside. Since one of scientists walks over the room, you should think about eliminating him, as well as a guard. After that go to the computer terminal shown on the above screen and turn off the mega-taser.

Wait, until Dr - R&D - Murdering Dr. Valentine - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait, until Dr. Valentine appears and gets close to mannequins. Now use the computer terminal again to turn on the mega-taser. If you did everything according to the plan, the scientist will be electrocuted. I recommend leaving the room quickly, because his death may be noticed by nearby characters.

General assumptions: It would be best to take care of Dr. Edward Ashford only after murdering Dr. Valentine, because he stays in the area close to your mission end point. Elimination of this person might be a bit more difficult, because Ashford is surrounded by scientists and factory guards.

In order to get to the place where Dr - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to get to the place where Dr. Edward Ashford stays, you have to get to the lowest silo's level (screen above). If you play on lower difficulty levels, then you can try to stay in researcher disguise. Otherwise I suggest obtaining factory guard disguise, attacking a guard near the special weapons room for example.

After reaching your destination, ignore Dr - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching your destination, ignore Dr. Ashford for now and head to the opposite end of the oval area, finding a valve shown on the above screen. After turning it, steam will appear, which remains here for 30 seconds, effectively blinding nearby characters.

Now you can act in two main ways - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you can act in two main ways. If you want to quickly finish the mission, it is a good opportunity to shoot Ashford with a gun with silencer of course. But such action may alarm guards, even before steam disappears. The same is with detonating remote explosives, which could additionally result in unnecessary casualties.

A much better idea is eliminating the scientist in an arranged accident connected with sample robot - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better idea is eliminating the scientist in an arranged accident connected with sample robot. After turning the mentioned valve, quickly choose a left passage, sneaking past single enemy and looking for evidence shown on the above screen.

Now you have to reach a lab room shown on the above screen, located directly under the stairs, which you've used to get to the lower part of the silo - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you have to reach a lab room shown on the above screen, located directly under the stairs, which you've used to get to the lower part of the silo.

Once you get inside a new room, stand at the left computer terminal and do not move - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside a new room, stand at the left computer terminal and do not move. Wait, until Dr. Ashford comes here and sits in the chair after a moment. Now you can activate sample robot, thus eliminating the scientist.

The only thing left is to leave the room - R&D - Murdering Dr. Ashford - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The only thing left is to leave the room. Activate Instinct and exit the lab, because you'll have to walk past at least two guards on your way. Keep using Instinct until you move away from them.

General assumptions: Destroying Ashford's research is the last objective of twelfth game mission. The most problematic might be a safely evacuation from murder place of Dr. Ashford.

Go again to an interactive valve and turn it to

Go again to an interactive valve and turn it to "blind" your enemies again for 30 seconds and making your evacuation easier. Turn around and move to the bridge control panel shown on the above screen, which becomes active only after eliminating both scientists. Interact with the panel and wait for the bridge. If enemies are alerted because of Ashford's death, make sure to stay hidden behind any cover.

Walk over the bridge, reaching Dr - R&D - Destroying Ashford's research - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Walk over the bridge, reaching Dr. Ashford's room. Start with playing the recording.

Finally sabotage two fuse boxes and use the only available passage, thanks to which you'll leave the test facility - R&D - Destroying Ashford's research - 12: Death Factory - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Finally sabotage two fuse boxes and use the only available passage, thanks to which you'll leave the test facility.

General objectives of the stage: Patriot's Hangar is the first of two Fight Night mission stages. The hangar itself is not big, but you should spend some time to explore it. It would be also good to decide how to get to Sanchez, because decision made in the hanger will influence the second stage actions.

Except Patriot there are members of his team and factory guards inside the hangar - Patriot's Hangar - Exploring the hangar - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Except Patriot there are members of his team and factory guards inside the hangar. The presence of guards is very annoying on higher difficulty levels, but also on lower settings you'll have to watch out not to be spotted.

Quite important is fact, that shortly after the mission begins, a group of at least three guards will head towards you, looking for a backstage card lost by one of them - Patriot's Hangar - Exploring the hangar - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Quite important is fact, that shortly after the mission begins, a group of at least three guards will head towards you, looking for a backstage card lost by one of them. Make sure that they won't spot you, using the parked truck and containers and crates as covers.

A good idea is to explore the other side of the hangar - Patriot's Hangar - Exploring the hangar - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A good idea is to explore the other side of the hangar. You'll have of course to sneak past Patriot and his people, and it would be good to move close to the right wall of the hangar, jumping between adjacent covers.

The back part of the hangar should be patrolled by two or three enemies - Patriot's Hangar - Exploring the hangar - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The back part of the hangar should be patrolled by two or three enemies. Particularly I recommend getting interested in the right corner of the hangar, shown on the above screen. You can find there a ready-to-wear factory guard disguise, remote explosives and evidence. If you do not have any disguise, you may distract the guard with a throwable object. Otherwise you can pick up mentioned items (The Patriot or Patriot's entourage disguise) or use Instinct (factory guard disguise).

Now you have to decide how you want to get to Sanchez and get information about where Victoria is kept. These are available options:

  • Using the keycard and getting to the arena through the ventilation shaft in order to murder Sanchez in more traditional way - scroll down to the Using a keycard subchapter.
  • Using Patriot's clothes and getting to the arena through the main entrance in order to meet Sanchez on the ring - scroll down to the Using Patriot's clothes subchapter.

General assumptions: Using a keycard is one of options to get to the arena, where fights take place. Finding the card and using it are relatively simple steps, which in addition are not time consuming.

If you want to get to the next location in a traditional way, without showing up on the ring disguised as Patriot, you have to find a keycard, lost by one of the guards - Patriot's Hangar - Using a keycard - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to get to the next location in a traditional way, without showing up on the ring disguised as Patriot, you have to find a keycard, lost by one of the guards. In order to do it, go to the other end of the hangar, behind the trailer, where Patriot and his men are stationing. The keycard lies on the ground in a place shown on the above screen and you have to watch out, because this area, depending on the difficulty level, is patrolled by one or two guards.

Before you leave the hangar, I would suggest obtaining disguise - Patriot's Hangar - Using a keycard - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before you leave the hangar, I would suggest obtaining disguise. Once you proceed to the second stage of this mission, the most useful will be Patriot's entourage disguise, allowing you to freely explore most areas of the arena. This disguise can be easily obtained. Start with sabotaging a generator located at the back of the trailer (screen above).

Wait, until one of Patriot's men appears here and then attack him - Patriot's Hangar - Using a keycard - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait, until one of Patriot's men appears here and then attack him. Hide his body in the container behind your back and put on his clothes. Return now to the starting place and head to the left door shown on the above screen, unlocking them with previously found keycard.

Enter the unguarded room, climb down and use the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen - Patriot's Hangar - Using a keycard - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Enter the unguarded room, climb down and use the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen. Listen to a conversation with Sanchez, learning that Victoria is being held by a sheriff in a local prison. Exit the shaft and open the door leading to the vicinity of the arena.

Note - I recommend now reading The Arena - Exploring the arena and The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way subchapters, connected with this method of behavior.

General assumptions: Using Patriot's clothes is one of options of getting to the arena. This option will result in meeting Sanchez on the ring in the next stage of mission. Elimination of Patriot in order to obtain his disguise may initially seem difficult but fortunately, in fact, it is not complicated process.

If you want to get to the next location disguised as Patriot, so you can fight with Sanchez in the ring, you have first to obtain the proper disguise - Patriot's Hangar - Using Patriot's clothes - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to get to the next location disguised as Patriot, so you can fight with Sanchez in the ring, you have first to obtain the proper disguise. Place yourself at covers right from the trailer, where Patriot is training. Turn right (screen above) and throw any object ahead.

A falling object should lure out one of Patriot's men - Patriot's Hangar - Using Patriot's clothes - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A falling object should lure out one of Patriot's men. Wait, until this character goes to secluded place and then attack him and hide his body in the container.

Repeat actions described above: thrown any object and hide behind crates near the trailer - Patriot's Hangar - Using Patriot's clothes - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Repeat actions described above: thrown any object and hide behind crates near the trailer. This time your actions should distract Patriot himself (screen above). Notice - if the plan didn't work then stun another regular enemy and try again after hiding his body.

Same as with

Same as with "regular" enemy, it would be best to wait, until Patriot goes to some secluded place. Stun or kill him, hide his body and wear The Patriot disguise.

Now return to the starting place and approach the right door shown on the above screen - Patriot's Hangar - Using Patriot's clothes - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now return to the starting place and approach the right door shown on the above screen. Knock and wait until you are allowed to get inside.

Note - I recommend now reading The Arena - Fighting with Sanchez on the ring subchapter, connected with this method of behavior.

General objectives of the stage: The Arena is the second stage of thirteenth game mission and it can have a different course, depending on your decisions made in the Patriot's Hangar stage. Regardless of course of events it is worth to carefully explore this area, finding some valuable items.

Note - if you've used a keycard to get to the area, you can start exploring the location right away. If you intend to fight with Sanchez on the ring, you'll be able to explore the arena only after defeating him (this is also optional, because after the fight you can go to the exit).

1 - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughThere is nothing interesting on the lower level of the arena, so sooner or later you'll have to get to its upper levels - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There is nothing interesting on the lower level of the arena, so sooner or later you'll have to get to its upper levels. In order to do this, you may use one of passages shown on the above screen. If you have any disguise, then no one should stop you. Otherwise you will have to distract enemies guarding those passages, for example by throwing a bottle found at the bar.

On the upper level of this location you may encounter many security guards, regardless of the difficulty settings - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the upper level of this location you may encounter many security guards, regardless of the difficulty settings. So if you do not have any disguise or use factory guard disguise, then you have to remember about observing opponent's moves and stay hidden. If you have Patriot's entourage disguise (or The Patriot disguise), you can freely move over entire area, except VIP box described below and areas unlocked with a keycard.

A good idea to obtain factory guard disguise (if you need one), is getting to the fenced armory - there are two gates leading inside - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A good idea to obtain factory guard disguise (if you need one), is getting to the fenced armory - there are two gates leading inside. You need a keycard to open those gates (the same one, which you have found during exploration of the hangar).

Regardless of the difficulty setting, there is a single enemy in each armory room - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the difficulty setting, there is a single enemy in each armory room. The person from the left room can be easily stunned from behind.

The person in the right room sits on the couch, so it is best to distract him with a throwable object - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The person in the right room sits on the couch, so it is best to distract him with a throwable object. In both cases try to quickly hide bodies in the box in the armory, so they won't be spotted by a guard patrolling a nearby corridor. Except obtaining disguise you may look around the armory, finding remote explosives, C4 bricks, Ilyon R700 sniper rifle and Worn M590 12Ga shotgun.

The last of interesting rooms on the upper level is a VIP box, which can be entered from the balconies' side - The Arena - Exploring the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last of interesting rooms on the upper level is a VIP box, which can be entered from the balconies' side. This place is occupied mainly by Patriot's men, so I do not recommend their disguise. Unfortunately, using factory guard disguise is also not 100% safe, because on all difficulty levels there is a single guard in the area. So you should distract him somehow, thus getting an access to the VIP box in order to collect evidence left there.

General assumptions: Accessing the arena through the door unlocked with a keycard equals with the need to eliminate Sanchez in more traditional way. The game, of course, offers several different options on the implementation of this plan.

The most obvious method to eliminate Sanchez is to shoot him with a pistol or other standard weapon - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The most obvious method to eliminate Sanchez is to shoot him with a pistol or other standard weapon. I do not recommend this solution, because despite completing your objective, you'll get the attention of nearby characters and many of them have firearms.

Slightly better idea is using a sniper rifle and in order to do this, you have to get into the armory described in previous subchapter (screen above) - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Slightly better idea is using a sniper rifle and in order to do this, you have to get into the armory described in previous subchapter (screen above). As for reminder, the armory is located on the upper level of the arena and you can get inside through two locked gates (you have to use a keycard to unlock them).

Ilyon R700 sniper rifle can be found in the right room, with a guard sitting on the couch - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Ilyon R700 sniper rifle can be found in the right room, with a guard sitting on the couch. So you should use Instinct or eliminate nearby factory guards.

Once you get the sniper rifle, you have to find a suitable point to shoot - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get the sniper rifle, you have to find a suitable point to shoot. The best choice is the side room, shown on the above screen. You can get inside through the door, which must be unlocked with a keycard.

Once you get there, approach the shutter and shoot the Sanchez in the right moment - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get there, approach the shutter and shoot the Sanchez in the right moment. Note - if you want to decrease the risk of detection after the shot, first eliminate all guards on the upper floor of the arena. It is also worth to hide inside the closet after successful action, to wait until the situation calms down.

Another method of eliminating Sanchez is using explosives - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method of eliminating Sanchez is using explosives. If you have remote explosives obtained in the previous stage, you can skip to the next step. Otherwise go to the left room in the armory (screen above). You'll find there remote explosives and C4 bricks. The main difference between them is that C4 bricks explode automatically few seconds after planting them. I personally recommend using remote explosives, so you can precisely set the moment of explosion.

Once you have explosives, go to the upper balconies - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you have explosives, go to the upper balconies. I recommend placing yourself at the place shown on the above screen - near the railing next to the VIP box entrance.

Throw the remote explosive or C4 bricks inside the cage, where Sanchez fights with Patriot - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Throw the remote explosive or C4 bricks inside the cage, where Sanchez fights with Patriot. Depending on the explosive material, you have to use the detonator or wait for the explosion. If you use remote explosives, make sure that Sanchez is close enough to the charge.

The least aggressive method of eliminating Sanchez is arranging an accident with the arena lights - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The least aggressive method of eliminating Sanchez is arranging an accident with the arena lights. In order to do this, you have to get to balconies located at the top of the arena. This is the area, which only factory guards can access. One of passages leading to the arena rooftop is shown on the above screen. On higher difficulty levels it is observed by one of guards, so it would be best to distract him with a throwable object. You also have to have a keycard.

Use the stairs, but stop on the landing - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use the stairs, but stop on the landing. Depending on the difficulty settings there are two or three guards in the area. I recommend distracting them and then using Instinct (you need to wear factory guard disguise).

Another passage leading to the arena rooftop is located in the VIP box - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another passage leading to the arena rooftop is located in the VIP box. The entrance to the room is shown on the above screen.

It is best to get inside the VIP box wearing factory guard disguise - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It is best to get inside the VIP box wearing factory guard disguise. Additionally you have to use Instinct, so you won't get exposed by a single guard standing on the left. Eventually you have to reach the door shown on the above screen and unlock it with a keycard.

After reaching the most upper balconies, watch out, because depending on the difficulty setting these are patrolled by one or two guards - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching the most upper balconies, watch out, because depending on the difficulty setting these are patrolled by one or two guards. You can wait until guards walk away or eliminate them one by one, hiding their bodies in the crate or in the closet.

Your current target is a mechanism shown on the above screen, which lowers the lighting boom - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current target is a mechanism shown on the above screen, which lowers the lighting boom. Pull the lever, thus killing Sanchez (and Patriot).

After a successful action you have to leave this area as fast as possible, because local guards are already alerted by your actions - The Arena - Murdering Sanchez in traditional way - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After a successful action you have to leave this area as fast as possible, because local guards are already alerted by your actions. It would be best to use the passage leafing to the VIP box mentioned earlier. After getting there look around for ready-to-wear Patriot's entourage disguise (screen above) and use Instinct to safely leave this place.

Note - you can now scroll down to the The Arena - Exiting the arena subchapter, describing how you can end current mission.

General assumptions: Accessing the arena dressed as Patriot equals with fighting with Sanchez in the ring. Defeating him is fortunately not very difficult, and the mission will be finished faster.

Follow the linear path, reaching a passage to the arena after few moments (screen above) - The Arena - Fighting with Sanchez on the ring - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Follow the linear path, reaching a passage to the arena after few moments (screen above). Go straight ahead and enter the ring, where you'll find Sanchez.

A fight with Sanchez consists of several QTE scenes - The Arena - Fighting with Sanchez on the ring - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A fight with Sanchez consists of several QTE scenes. That means that you have to QUICKLY press keys/buttons according to on-screen instructions.

After the first group of QTE scenes, Agent 47 will get from Sanchez information about Victoria, learning that she is being held by a sheriff in a local prison - The Arena - Fighting with Sanchez on the ring - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After the first group of QTE scenes, Agent 47 will get from Sanchez information about Victoria, learning that she is being held by a sheriff in a local prison.

Prepare for more QTE scenes, which are almost the same as previous ones - The Arena - Fighting with Sanchez on the ring - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Prepare for more QTE scenes, which are almost the same as previous ones. At the end you'll murder Sanchez. Now you can exit the cage.

Note - you can now scroll down to the The Arena - Exiting the arena subchapter, describing how you can end current mission.

General assumptions: You can exit the arena only after defeating Sanchez, regardless of whether you killed him in a traditional way or by beating him on the ring.

The arena exit is located on the lowest level, at the place shown on the above screen - The Arena - Exiting the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The arena exit is located on the lowest level, at the place shown on the above screen.

If you've murder Sanchez in a classic way then watch out or a single guard guarding the exit - The Arena - Exiting the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've murder Sanchez in a classic way then watch out or a single guard guarding the exit. You can try to distract him or run to the exit door, however more safe solution is to use Patriot's entourage disguise (if you do not have it, you can obtain one in the VIP box on the upper level).

If you have defeated Sanchez on the ring, start with collecting your Silverballers - The Arena - Exiting the arena - 13: Fight Night - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have defeated Sanchez on the ring, start with collecting your Silverballers. Before you decide to exit the arena, you can explore it carefully first. In this case you should obtain evidence from the VIP box.

General objectives of the stage: Parking is the first out of three stages of the fourteenth mission of the campaign, entitled Attack of the Saints. The main objective of this mission is to eliminate seven Saints - high skilled female assassins dressed as nuns. Your first target on the list is Jennifer Paxton, because she's the one who will show up in the motel's destroyed room to verify if Agent 47 has been successfully neutralized.

The beginning of the mission is very linear - Parking - Murdering Jennifer Paxton - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The beginning of the mission is very linear. Continue through the tunnel until you've found an exit. Leave the tunnel and move to your right. Press the interaction key/button to squeeze through a tight spot. Eventually you should make your way to a destroyed hotel room (screen above). Take your time here to find Agent 47's suit and an iron that will soon come in handy in distracting enemy units.

You can now act in two different ways - Parking - Murdering Jennifer Paxton - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can now act in two different ways. If you don't have anything against playing aggressively, then consider taking cover near a damaged wall and waiting for Jennifer Paxton and her two bodyguards to arrive. Once they do use Hitman's Silverballers to eliminate all hostiles.

A much better idea is to make some preparations so that the main character will be able to surprise enemy units - Parking - Murdering Jennifer Paxton - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better idea is to make some preparations so that the main character will be able to surprise enemy units. In order to achieve this you must exit the hotel room as soon as possible. Turn left and make a stop once you've reached a corner (screen above). Hide inside the crate and stay there until Jennifer and Agency soldiers get to the motel room where you've found Hitman's suit.

Exit the crate once youve made sure its safe and take cover behind a nearby pillar (screen above) - Parking - Murdering Jennifer Paxton - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Exit the crate once you've made sure it's safe and take cover behind a nearby pillar (screen above). Wait for one of the Agency soldiers to show up here, carefully approach him without being seen and eliminate him. I recommend dragging his body to the crate you've used to hide not so long ago.

Carefully return to the hotel room with Jennifer and the remaining Agency guard - Parking - Murdering Jennifer Paxton - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Carefully return to the hotel room with Jennifer and the remaining Agency guard. You can use instinct mode here to shoot both targets at the same time or throw an iron to distract enemies and then kill each person with a silent melee attack.

General objectives: You shouldn't go after Heather if you didn't eliminate Jennifer, because otherwise you would have to return to the start area. Heather McCarthy can be found on the motel's parking lot when you start the mission, however later she travels to a local amusement park and that's where you should attack her.

An interesting thing to know about Heather McCarthy is that the game allows you to murder her at the very beginning of the mission, because thats when shell be briefing her men at the parking lot (screen above) - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An interesting thing to know about Heather McCarthy is that the game allows you to murder her at the very beginning of the mission, because that's when she'll be briefing her men at the parking lot (screen above). I strongly advise NOT to pursue this course of action, because shooting her will alarm all Agency soldiers and you would be forced to fight them in an open combat scenario.

I recommend that you acquire Agencys soldier disguise from one of the attacked enemies before heading to the next area - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I recommend that you acquire Agency's soldier disguise from one of the attacked enemies before heading to the next area. Once you have the disguise go to the opposite end of the motel's upper balconies. Your goal is to reach a staircase leading to the ground floor (screen above).

Start using small brick walls for cover and make sure youre doing that even before reaching the ground floor so you wont be noticed - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start using small brick walls for cover and make sure you're doing that even before reaching the ground floor so you won't be noticed. I recommend that you use the opportunity that enemy soldiers are taking part in a briefing and quickly explore nearby motel corridors. Move between covers, searching for interactive objects along the way. The most important object in my opinion is the rat poison found in one of the corners (screen above). You can't use this item right away, however it will come in handy later on when you'll start thinking about possible ways of eliminating Heather McCarthy.

The rat poison mentioned above isnt the only important thing you can uncover here - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The rat poison mentioned above isn't the only important thing you can uncover here. New evidence is in the area and you can find this collectible in the middle on the parking lot, on some crates near parked cars (screen above). The best way to safely obtain this item is to use instinct to hide Hitman's true identity, however you can also use throwable objects or activate car alarms in nearby cars to distract Agency's soldiers.

Your next task is to safely get to the other side of the parking lot and obviously its not easy, because the area is swarming with Agency soldiers - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your next task is to safely get to the other side of the parking lot and obviously it's not easy, because the area is swarming with Agency soldiers. There are two ways of reaching your goal. The first possibility is to circle the middle of the parking lot from the left side, using nearby vehicles for cover (screen above) and moving between them when it's safe.

If youve decided to hide behind cars, then eventually youll get to a much bigger bus (screen above) - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've decided to hide behind cars, then eventually you'll get to a much bigger bus (screen above). You shouldn't encounter anyone here if you're playing on lower difficulty settings, however if you've chosen one of the pro difficulty levels then you'll most likely find a single guard here. Eliminate this guard or avoid him while trying to stay away from his line of sight. Inspect this area if you have the chance, because you can find remote explosives here.

In order to leave the parking lot safely you must avoid one more Agency soldier and he can be seen on the screen above - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to leave the parking lot safely you must avoid one more Agency soldier and he can be seen on the screen above. The best way to do that is to move as close to the left fence as possible so that he won't notice Hitman sneaking behind his back.

The second method of getting to the other end of the parking lot is to circle it from the right side (screen above) - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second method of getting to the other end of the parking lot is to circle it from the right side (screen above). In this case you should make your move before the briefing is over.

Use instinct if necessary, heading towards a small passageway displayed on the screen above - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Use instinct if necessary, heading towards a small passageway displayed on the screen above. It doesn't matter what difficulty level you're playing on, because this exit from the parking lot shouldn't be guarded by anyone.

Both paths described earlier in the text will allow you to reach a small minigolf course with an Agency soldier and an innocent civilian - Parking - Reaching the area patrolled by Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Both paths described earlier in the text will allow you to reach a small minigolf course with an Agency soldier and an innocent civilian. You can act in two different ways here - save the civilian or wait until he's murdered before making a move to eliminate or avoid the guard. If you plan on killing the Agency soldier, then I recommend strangling him (preferably with a fiber wire).

General objectives: Eliminating Heather McCarthy is your last order of business in the Parking stage. Killing the nun can be quite tricky, because she's patrolling an amusement park guarded by a lot of Agency soldiers.

The area where Heather McCarthy can be found was mentioned several times on the previous pages and its the amusement park (screen above) - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The area where Heather McCarthy can be found was mentioned several times on the previous pages and it's the amusement park (screen above). You will reach this location soon after dealing with the situation with the captured civilian. Heather is moving between two bars located in the far corners of the park. She stops for a while near each bar and then heads to the other one.

The least subtle way of getting rid of the nun is to use remote explosives you may have found near the bus at the parking lot - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The least subtle way of getting rid of the nun is to use remote explosives you may have found near the bus at the parking lot. You would have to throw the explosives towards one of the bars, wait for the assassin nun to get there and then detonate the charge. The explosion would of course alarm the guards and also bystanders could die, effectively lowering your points score.

If you dont want to (or simply cant) use the remote explosives, then you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the area patrolled by Heather - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you don't want to (or simply can't) use the remote explosives, then you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the area patrolled by Heather. On the higher difficulty levels it's best to proceed towards the left bar.

On the lower difficulty levels on the other hand its best to use a small wooden bridge as seen on the screen above, heading towards the right bar - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the lower difficulty levels on the other hand it's best to use a small wooden bridge as seen on the screen above, heading towards the right bar. Don't cross the bridge right away, because there are some guards nearby and it's recommended to wait for them to end their conversation.

The left bar offers much less opportunities when it comes to eliminating the nun - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The left bar offers much less opportunities when it comes to eliminating the nun. It's best to attack Heather when she stops close to the bar (screen above) and QUICKLY hide her body in a box afterwards . You can also use the same chest to hide while waiting for her to show up, however taking cover behind the counter should also work.

The right bar grants an alternative way of getting rid of Heather - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The right bar grants an alternative way of getting rid of Heather. You can use the rat poison you've located on the ground floor of the motel on a coffee mug found on the bar's counter (screen above). It's important to know that you shouldn't interact with the mug if someone is looking your way, because it'll trigger an alarm. Once you've poisoned the coffee you must hide or leave this area, because the nun's death will be noticed by Agency's soldiers.

It doesnt matter how youve eliminated Heather McCarthy, because the end of this stage will remain the same - Parking - Murdering Heather McCarthy - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It doesn't matter how you've eliminated Heather McCarthy, because the end of this stage will remain the same. Your job is to interact with a door (screen above) located between two of the bars described earlier in the walkthrough. It's worth mentioning that opening this door will take Agent 47 a few seconds, so make sure that no one is heading your way before interacting with it (throwing an object is also a good idea to distract enemy units).

General objectives of the stage: Reception is the second stage of the Attack of the Saints mission. This stage has a more open structure, giving you a chance to move more freely around the area. You should use this opportunity and explore your surroundings before attacking two new nuns.

You begin the exploration of the reception in a safe area - Reception - Exploring the reception - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You begin the exploration of the reception in a safe area. Use this opportunity and interact with a medical station to regenerate Agent 47's health bar (he's lost some health during the attack on the motel at the beginning of the mission). The main area of the reception is occupied by a guard and Dijana Radoncic when you begin this stage, however they'll soon leave and go different ways.

If youre playing on lower difficulty settings, then the game will allow you to explore the reception without having to worry about being spotted - Reception - Exploring the reception - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you're playing on lower difficulty settings, then the game will allow you to explore the reception without having to worry about being spotted. On higher difficulty levels it's a more complex situation, because there are additional guards in the area. One of them will occupy a side room (screen above) and at least one more will occassionally enter the building.

You should be able to notice a second captured civilian (motels owner) near the reception - Reception - Exploring the reception - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You should be able to notice a second captured civilian (motel's owner) near the reception. This person is being taken to a side area where the assassination will take place. If you plan on saving this civilian, then you must follow him and the Agency soldier. Make your move (fiber wire is my recommendation) when you'll get to the area seen on the screen above. Important - Saving the civilian may be very difficult on pro settings, because there will be additional guards nearby. If you don't want to risk of being spotted don't go for a direct takedown, but try to kill the Agency soldier from afar (preferably with a Silverballer).

The area where the Agency soldier planned on killing the civilian (screen above) is important to your current primary objective, because you can use it to get closer to the gas station and to assassinate both nuns at the same time - Reception - Exploring the reception - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The area where the Agency soldier planned on killing the civilian (screen above) is important to your current primary objective, because you can use it to get closer to the gas station and to assassinate both nuns at the same time. If you're playing on lower difficulty settings, then you'll most likely encounter a single stationary guard. On higher settings an additional soldier will be patrolling the area and he should die in the first place. You can use throwable objects or a nearby radio to distract enemies and to eliminate them when they're alone.

The main square in front of the station is always occupied by Agnija Radoncic and its difficult to explore to this area, even if youre using a proper disguise - Reception - Exploring the reception - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The main square in front of the station is always occupied by Agnija Radoncic and it's difficult to explore to this area, even if you're using a proper disguise. I recommend using all the gathered instinct and/or to distract enemies by activating car alarms. Checking this square has a single purpose and that is to collect new evidence (screen above).

The last important area of the map is the one to the right of the reception building (screen above) - Reception - Exploring the reception - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last important area of the map is the one to the right of the reception building (screen above). It's much more difficult to explore it on the pro settings, because you'll have to deal with at least one extra guard. Just as before you should consider using interactive objects and car alarms to distract enemy units.

General objectives: It may seem that eliminating Dijana at the beginning of the mission is a good idea, because you encounter her almost right away. The best option however is to kill both nuns at the same time by using objects from the environment to your favor.

Dijana Radoncic is patrolling the entire area - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Dijana Radoncic is patrolling the entire area. You will encounter her standing close to the reception when you start the stage (screen above). Naturally you can use this opportunity to get rid of her right away. One of the possibilities in this case is using instinct mode, however you must make sure that a guard standing next to her dies as well so he won't be able to raise an alarm.

An even better way of neutralizing Dijana is by outsmarting the games mechanics - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An even better way of neutralizing Dijana is by "outsmarting" the game's mechanics. Take cover behind the reception's counter, get closer to the nun and perform a silent takedown by dragging her over the counter (screen above). This action (rather unexpectedly) shouldn't be noticed by the guard Dijana was talking to.

If you didnt make it in time to take care of Dijana or if youve chosen to remain unnoticed, then she will begin travelling between the reception and a gas station seen in the distance - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you didn't make it in time to take care of Dijana or if you've chosen to remain unnoticed, then she will begin travelling between the reception and a gas station seen in the distance. You should move towards the gas station either way, because Agnija Radoncic can be found there. She's the second target and if you'll make some preparations you'll have a chance to kill both nuns with a single action. The safest way to get closer to the gas station is to choose a path to the left of it (screen above). It's the same place where you could intervene and prevent one of the Agency soldiers from assassinating the captured motel owner.

Be careful here, because the area separating you from the gas station (depending on the difficulty level) will be guarded by one or two enemy units - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Be careful here, because the area separating you from the gas station (depending on the difficulty level) will be guarded by one or two enemy units. If you have to deal with two soldiers, then start by attacking the one that's on the move (don't forget to use a nearby radio and throwable objects to your advantage).

Eventually you should be able to reach a point displayed on the screen above - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Eventually you should be able to reach a point displayed on the screen above. You can see Agnija Radoncic from here. If she's the only target left, then you may use a Silverballer to shoot her, however you must make sure that no one is looking your way so your cover won't be blown.

Another idea for getting rid of only Agnija is to turn on the radio found in the recently secured area of the map - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another idea for getting rid of only Agnija is to turn on the radio found in the recently secured area of the map. This should convince the nun to inspect the problem (screen above), allowing you to surprise her in a safe place.

The best idea by far is to get rid of both nuns at the same time - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best idea by far is to get rid of both nuns at the same time. Start off by making sure that you're stationed to the left of the gas station. Wait for a good moment to leave cover and proceed towards a single gas pump (as displayed on the screen above). Interact with the fuel distributor so that gasoline will start pouring out of it.

Return to the recently secured area and wait for Dijana to arrive so that both nuns will be standing close to the gas station - Reception - Murdering Dijana and Agnija Radoncic - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the recently secured area and wait for Dijana to arrive so that both nuns will be standing close to the gas station. Use the silenced pistol and shoot at the pool of gasoline, causing an enormous explosion (screen above). Important - Don't worry if one of the nuns doesn't die instantly, because your action will trigger additional explosions of cars parked nearby and sooner or later she'll go down as well.

General objectives: You will be allowed to leave the motel only after you've dealt with Dijana and Agnija Radoncic. Depending on the tactic you've chosen and current difficulty level getting to the exit may prove to be very easy or quite challenging.

The door leading to the next stage can be found to the right of the gas station (screen above) - Reception - Leaving the motel area - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The door leading to the next stage can be found to the right of the gas station (screen above). Sadly you can't use the exit right away, because Agent 47 will have to unlock the door first and just as in the previous stage he will become vulnerable for a few seconds.

The biggest threat comes from enemy units occupying a nearby square (screen above) - Reception - Leaving the motel area - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The biggest threat comes from enemy units occupying a nearby square (screen above). If you're playing on lower difficulty settings then none of them should be facing the door you're planning to get to. Sadly on higher difficulty levels it's not that easy and the door will be inspected from time to time.

The solution to the problem described above is to eliminate all guards that are looking at the exit door - Reception - Leaving the motel area - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The solution to the problem described above is to eliminate all guards that are looking at the exit door. A nearby alley (displayed on the screen above) may come in handy, especially since you'll be allowed to easily hide bodies there. You should also consider using the alley to your advantage if enemy units are in alarmed state (as a result of the gas station explosion or finding someone else's body) or if you don't want for the situation to calm down on its own.

General objectives of the stage: Cornfield is the final third stage of the Attack of the Saints mission. This is a very large map, however you should be eliminating the remaining assassin nuns in a very specific order so that you won't have to backtrack to previous area. The first person on your hitlist should be Louisa Cain, because she's the closest target.

The game will give you an opportunity to murder Louisa Cain at the very beginning of the stage, however you should restrain yourself from killing her, because your action would result in Hitman being attacked by nearby guards - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The game will give you an opportunity to murder Louisa Cain at the very beginning of the stage, however you should restrain yourself from killing her, because your action would result in Hitman being attacked by nearby guards. It's a much better idea to wait for the conversation between the nun and her bodyguards to end so that all characters will eventually resume their duties. Depending on your current difficulty level one or two guards will remain here and it's best to leave them alone unless you desperately need a disguise.

Ignore the main entrance to the farm and proceed towards the nearest cornfield - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Ignore the main entrance to the farm and proceed towards the nearest cornfield. This area works in a similiar way to the marihuana field from one of the previous missions of the campaign and this means you can use it to move undetected. Make sure that Agent 47 is maintaining a crouching stance and consider positioning the camera a little higher so it'll be easier for you to spot the guards patrolling the cornfield. Don't forget that you aren't totally invisible. You can be recognized if you move too close to the enemy units.

A smart way of increasing your chances of avoiding detection is to check the right side of the cornfield - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A smart way of increasing your chances of avoiding detection is to check the right side of the cornfield. The area displayed on the screen above contains a scarecrow and you can interact with it in order to obtain a scarecrow disguise. The main advantage of this costume is that you can remain unseen if you're standing still. Additionally you can blend in to the environment by interacting with scarecrow stands found throughout the entire map.

You can spend some time exploring the area, however its optional - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can spend some time exploring the area, however it's optional. The only interesting place in the first part of the cornfield is a small hut seen on the screen above. This hut can be found near the asphalt road and it contains a machine which can be used to dispose of the bodies of killed enemy units.

Your current primary objective is a bigger hut (screen above) with a vehicle parked in front of it - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current primary objective is a bigger hut (screen above) with a vehicle parked in front of it. I wouldn't recommend attacking Candy when she's in the open, because even on lower difficulty levels there will be several guards in the area. The only exception is a very precise shot done with a Silverballer, assuming of course you don't mind alarming the Agency soldiers about the nun's death.

The best moment to act in my opinion is when the nun enters the hut - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best moment to act in my opinion is when the nun enters the hut. A more obvious way of getting rid of her is to carefully approach her from the back and use a fiber wire to strangle her. Once she's gone take some additional time to hide her body.

A less obvious (and much safer) way of killing the main target is about using the environment to your advantage - Cornfield - Murdering Louisa Candy Cain - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A less obvious (and much safer) way of killing the main target is about using the environment to your advantage. Circle around the hut and locate a generator seen on the screen above. Attach the power cable to the water pipe and pull the lever (you can do it right away, without having to wait for the nun to enter the hut). You can now proceed to the location of the second nun, because the generator will not shut down prematurely. The only exception is if you want to dispose of Louisa's body after she's been electrocuted.

General objectives: Jaqueline should be the second person to die. Getting rid of this nun is by far the easiest, because she's patrolling one of the cornfields. This means that you don't have to worry about being spotted while trying to kill her.

Proceed towards a large farmhouse seen in the distance, however make a stop near a trailer displayed on the screen above, because this is where Jaqueline Moorhead can be found - Cornfield - Murdering Jaqueline Moorhead - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Proceed towards a large farmhouse seen in the distance, however make a stop near a trailer displayed on the screen above, because this is where Jaqueline Moorhead can be found.

Just as before, I wouldnt recommend going for a direct attack, because at least three Agency guards are stationed here - Cornfield - Murdering Jaqueline Moorhead - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Just as before, I wouldn't recommend going for a direct attack, because at least three Agency guards are stationed here. You should however take some time to explore the area near the trailer in order to find new evidence (screen above). Important notice - If you have difficulties obtaining the collectible while wearing the scarecrow costume, then consider switching back to Agency's soldier disguise, especially since you should have plenty of instinct at your disposal and you could use it after dressing as an Agency operative.

As Ive mentioned before the best way to get rid of Jaqueline is to attack her when shes patrolling the cornfield - Cornfield - Murdering Jaqueline Moorhead - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

As I've mentioned before the best way to get rid of Jaqueline is to attack her when she's patrolling the cornfield. I recommend approaching her from the back and using a fiber wire to strangle her so that your attack will be fast and quiet. Once she's gone you should consider dragging her body to the outer edges of the farm so she won't be found by Agency soldiers that are also sweeping the cornfield in the search for Agent 47.

General objectives: LaSandra should be the last person to die and she's guarding the main farmhouse where the mission ends. Killing her is not going to be easy, because the farm buildings are being guarded by plenty of Agency soldiers.

The last person you need to kill is occupying the main farmhouse seen on the screen above - Cornfield - Murdering LaSandra Dixon - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last person you need to kill is occupying the main farmhouse seen on the screen above. It's best to approach your current destination from the left side, using a smaller cornfield to avoid being seen by enemy units.

There are two recommended ways of eliminating LaSandra Dixon - Cornfield - Murdering LaSandra Dixon - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are two recommended ways of eliminating LaSandra Dixon. If you don't want to raise an alarm, then you should start by taking cover in the area seen on the screen above (between two farm buildings).

Wait for the nun to make a stop close to the cornfield and shoot her with a silenced weapon - Cornfield - Murdering LaSandra Dixon - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait for the nun to make a stop close to the cornfield and shoot her with a silenced weapon. Immediately approach LaSandra's body and start dragging her. You can hide the body in the cornfield or in a nearby toilet (just make sure that it won't be found by any of the guards).

The second recommended method of neutralizing LaSandra Dixon is to stage an accident involving the nun - Cornfield - Murdering LaSandra Dixon - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second recommended method of neutralizing LaSandra Dixon is to stage an accident involving the nun. In this case you must begin by heading towards a large barn seen on the screen above. There's a single guard nearby, however you can easily sneak past him.

If youre playing on lower difficulty settings, then you can enter the barn right away and immediately interact with a ladder (screen above) - Cornfield - Murdering LaSandra Dixon - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you're playing on lower difficulty settings, then you can enter the barn right away and immediately interact with a ladder (screen above). On higher difficulty levels this isn't possible, because the ladder is being guarded by an additional person. You can try to kill the guard or distract him with a throwable object (in this case the best course of action is to convince the guard to leave the barn and make his way to the cornfield).

Once youve used the ladder youll find yourself standing in front of a crane - Cornfield - Murdering LaSandra Dixon - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you've used the ladder you'll find yourself standing in front of a crane. Wait for LaSandra to stop under a heavy load and shoot at the chain in order to go through with the unfortunate accident scenario.

General objectives: Getting to the command post is the last thing you need to do as part of the fourteenth mission of the game. Sadly this isn't an easy task, especially if Agency soldiers were alarmed by LaSandra's recent death.

The command post is located in the middle of the main farmhouse area (screen above) so its in the same place where youve found LaSandra Dixon - Cornfield - Reaching the command post - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The command post is located in the middle of the main farmhouse area (screen above) so it's in the same place where you've found LaSandra Dixon.

The easiest way to get to the command post is to use all of the remaining instinct, however you would also have to be wearing the Agencys soldier disguise - Cornfield - Reaching the command post - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The easiest way to get to the command post is to use all of the remaining instinct, however you would also have to be wearing the Agency's soldier disguise. Thankfully this isn't the only possible course of action, because there are also other ways of reaching your goal. I recommend going towards a nearby building (screen above). Once you're there start using walls and other objects for cover.

Once youve made your way to the command post quickly locate a cell phone seen on the screen above - Cornfield - Reaching the command post - 14: Attack of the Saints - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you've made your way to the command post quickly locate a cell phone seen on the screen above. Interact with the phone in order to end the mission (you don't have to worry about the remaining guards in the farmhouse area).

General objectives of the stage: Courthouse is first of three stages of Skurky's Law, the fifteenth game mission. The main objective of this stage is to reach a passage leading to the holding cells and as always, before making any final decisions, you should closely examine the area.

The mission starts in the courthouse - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The mission starts in the courthouse. Do not try to enter the inaccessible area without a disguise, because you'll be exposed right away. You can gain access by using court security guard disguise or court usher disguise, although even then you can't feel safe because you can get easily exposed. So I recommend reading proper subchapters about obtaining disguises and alternative ways of leaving the courthouse.

Right from the place where the judge resides, you can find an evidence room with many types of weapons and a ventilation shaft which can be used to bypass the door leading to the cells - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Right from the place where the judge resides, you can find an evidence room with many types of weapons and a ventilation shaft which can be used to bypass the door leading to the cells. Also this area should be explored in a disguise (I recommend court security guard disguise or court usher disguise).

The ground floor is accessible for everyone - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The ground floor is accessible for everyone. Of course you can't run with visible gun and you have to watch out while using court security guard disguise, because you can encounter here many such characters (especially on higher difficulty levels).

The room at the end of the corridor, right from the courthouse entrance is occupied by a single guard, regardless of the difficulty settings - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The room at the end of the corridor, right from the courthouse entrance is occupied by a single guard, regardless of the difficulty settings. So it is a good place to obtain court security guard disguise (use throwable objects, turn on a radio or just kill the mentioned man).

Rooms located on the other side of the corridor are hardly accessible and good guarded - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Rooms located on the other side of the corridor are hardly accessible and good guarded. In the main security room you can encounter a large group of court security guards and you might explore it only after obtaining judge disguise, thanks to which you can easily collect evidence left on one of the desks there.

Left from the building entrance you can find toilets - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Left from the building entrance you can find toilets. At the beginning there is nothing interesting inside, but you should remember this place, because it can be used in one of methods of getting to the holding cells.

On the courthouse floor you should get interested in the balcony, from which you can see a courtroom - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the courthouse floor you should get interested in the balcony, from which you can see a courtroom. There is also a computer terminal which can be used to distract characters on the courtroom (more on this can be found in next subchapters of this guide).

An interesting place is a small storage shown on the above screen, where you can find a big crate - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An interesting place is a small storage shown on the above screen, where you can find a big crate. So you can use this place to obtain a disguise by throwing any object and attacking by a surprise person who will appear in the storage.

A library is a place which can be accessed only by authorized persons, so it would be best to use court security guard disguise - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A library is a place which can be accessed only by authorized persons, so it would be best to use court security guard disguise. You might visit this place if you want to obtain court usher disguise. Wait, until only one of them stays in the library and distract him. After successful action hide his body in the closet.

A door shown on the above screen leads to the back of the courthouse - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A door shown on the above screen leads to the back of the courthouse. The door is located at the end of the corridor left from the main entrance.

Once you get to the back of the courthouse, note the shutter leading to the upper balcony and the archive room shown on the above screen - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to the back of the courthouse, note the shutter leading to the upper balcony and the archive room shown on the above screen. Inside the archive room you'll encounter a single guard, which can by bypasses or attacked in order to obtain court security guard disguise.

A parking lot located at the back of the courthouse is inaccessible - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A parking lot located at the back of the courthouse is inaccessible. If you want to explore this area, think about obtaining court security guard disguise. It is also important to skillfully jump between cars and walls, avoiding detection by local guards. The purpose of exploration of this area is reaching one of two shutters leading to the private judge chambers (more on this can be found in next subchapters of this guide).

At the very end of the parking lot you can find a small storage shown on the above screen - Courthouse - Exploring the courthouse - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

At the very end of the parking lot you can find a small storage shown on the above screen. The most important object which can be found inside is a ready-to-wear court security guard disguise. If you do not want to attack anyone, you can get it from here.

So much for the exploration - let's go to the subject of reaching the goal. This task can be accomplished in three main ways:

  • Putting on judge disguise - This is by far the best idea, because the judge has a full access to all areas in the courthouse and he won't be also stopped or exposed after reaching the target. Description of this variant can be found in Courthouse - Get to the holding cells in judge disguise subchapter.
  • Putting on defendant disguise in a courtroom - this method is less time-consuming, especially if you play on one of lower difficulty levels. But it has two major drawbacks - you won't be able to explore the courthouse calmly and you'll have to escape guards after getting to the cells. Description of this variant can be found in Courthouse - Get to the holding cells in defendant disguise.
  • Putting on court security guard/court usher disguise or no disguise - I do not recommend this variant, because even if you use any of mentioned disguises, it is very likely that nearby characters will get alerted. In addition you won't be able to carefully explore the courthouse. Description of this variant can be found Courthouse - Get to the holding cells in traditional way.

General assumptions: First possible way to get to the cells is obtaining judge disguise. This is by far the best idea, but the implementation of it can be a bit time-consuming.

I strongly advise not attacking judge when he stays in the main courtroom, because all nearby characters would notice that right away - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I strongly advise not attacking judge when he stays in the main courtroom, because all nearby characters would notice that right away. Instead of that it would be better to get to private judge's chambers. Start with heading to the exit door located on the ground floor.

After exiting the building, turn right, stopping after reaching the archive room shown on the above screen - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After exiting the building, turn right, stopping after reaching the archive room shown on the above screen. I recommend stunning the guard inside, hiding his body and putting on court security guard disguise. This is of course not required, but will make easier your further actions.

Head to the parking lot, which is patrolled by many guards, even on lower difficulty levels - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Head to the parking lot, which is patrolled by many guards, even on lower difficulty levels.

Keep moving forwards, using vehicles and small walls (screen above) as covers - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Keep moving forwards, using vehicles and small walls (screen above) as covers. You can also try to distract enemies by throwing objects and turning on car alarms. This is particularly useful on higher difficulty settings, because some enemies (e.g. those standing by the bus) are very hard to be bypassed safely.

1 - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can get inside judge's chambers through one of two shutters - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get inside judge's chambers through one of two shutters. I do not recommend the shutter shown on the screen 1, unless you play on lower difficulty level. It is much better to get to the shutter shown on the screen 2, because even on higher difficulty levels it shouldn't be observed. Regardless of your choice, you have to grab the ledge, climb up and finally get inside the building.

The next step is to make the judge to return to his private chambers - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The next step is to make the judge to return to his private chambers. You can accomplish that in two main ways. More obvious solution is to use throwable objects, to cause a noise in the chambers.

Less obvious solution is to use a computer terminal, located in the small right room (screen above) - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Less obvious solution is to use a computer terminal, located in the small right room (screen above). The terminal becomes active only after few moments, when people on the trial want to watch the video evidence.

Regardless of your behavior, wait for the judge - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of your behavior, wait for the judge. If you're using a court security guard disguise, then you do not have to hide. Otherwise hide in the closet or return to the ledge. Sneak on the judge from behind and stun or kill him. Note - If you've used a computer terminal, then the court usher will appear there. So in such situation make sure that this person won't notice your attack on the judge.

After stunning or murdering the judge, examine his body to find a keycard and then hide his body - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in judge disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After stunning or murdering the judge, examine his body to find a keycard and then hide his body. Put on judge disguise and return to the courtroom (right door). Now you can start exploring the courthouse (I suggest getting to the security room on the ground floor and collecting evidence found there) or focus on the main mission objective right now. In the latter case, you should use the keycard at the door shown on the above screen. Go to the next door and wait until Hitman opens it.

General assumptions: Another way to get to the holding cells is the smartest, because you'll take over the identity of defendant in a current court hearing. Choosing this method will allow you to leave the courthouse very quickly but you want able to explore the building closely.

The person, whose identity you can still is Timothy Hawke and you can find him in the courtroom (screen above) - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The person, whose identity you can still is Timothy Hawke and you can find him in the courtroom (screen above). Of course I do not advise attacking him immediately, because it won't get any good. Instead of that, you have to somehow break the hearing, so you can eliminate Hawke in some secluded place and take his clothes.

Theoretically the trial can be stopped by disguising as the judge and considering Hawke innocent, but this is bad idea, because you'll lose the time unnecessary (once you get judge disguise, you can leave the courthouse anyway) and as the result of this decision, Hawke will stay in public places later on the mission. Incomparably better solution is to stop the video, which will be displayed as material evidence during the hearing.

First place, from which you can stop the video, is a balcony on courthouse floor, shown on the above screen - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

First place, from which you can stop the video, is a balcony on courthouse floor, shown on the above screen. This place is accessible for everyone, so you do not have to sneak here.

A computer terminal to interact with is located left from the entrance to the balcony - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A computer terminal to interact with is located left from the entrance to the balcony. This area is inaccessible for unauthorized persons, so you have to stay unnoticed. What's more, on higher difficulty levels, the computer terminal is guarded by an additional guard. So try to distract all policemen on the balcony. It is worth noting, that you can also reach this terminal from the nearby shutter (in order to get there, go to the courthouse back), but it shouldn't be necessary.

If you have safely got to the computer terminal, interact with it - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have safely got to the computer terminal, interact with it. The very important information is fact that the terminal becomes active only after few dozen seconds from the mission start, specifically at the moment, when both sides in the trial agree to watch the video evidence.

Do not worry, if you haven't managed to get to the terminal computer on the balcony, because there is another one in the area - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Do not worry, if you haven't managed to get to the terminal computer on the balcony, because there is another one in the area. In order to reach it, you have to get to the judge's chambers. Start with heading to the exit door, located on the ground floor. Once you leave the building, turn right, stopping after getting to the archive room shown on the above screen. I recommend stunning the guard inside, hiding his body and putting on court security guard disguise. This is of course not required, but will make easier your further actions.

Head to the parking lot, which is patrolled by many guards, even on lower difficulty levels - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Head to the parking lot, which is patrolled by many guards, even on lower difficulty levels. Start bypassing them, using vehicles and small walls (screen above) as covers. You can also try to distract enemies by throwing objects and turning on car alarms.

1 - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughYou can get inside judge's chambers through one of two shutters - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get inside judge's chambers through one of two shutters. I do not recommend the shutter shown on the screen 1, unless you play on lower difficulty level. It is much better to get to the shutter shown on the screen 2, because even on higher difficulty levels it shouldn't be observed. Regardless of your choice, you have to grab the ledge, climb up and finally get inside the building.

Explore a small right room in judge's chambers - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Explore a small right room in judge's chambers. A computer terminal you're looking for is shown on the above screen. Also this one will become active in a particular moment during the trial.

Regardless of whether computer terminal you have used, you'll stop the trail - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether computer terminal you have used, you'll stop the trail. Timothy Hawke will go to the toilet and this is the best place to attack him. If you hurry up, then you can get there (men's room) before him. Otherwise go to the women's room and use the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen.

You can wait for Timothy inside the shaft or in the closet located in the toilet - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can wait for Timothy inside the shaft or in the closet located in the toilet. Leave your hideout in the proper moment, surprise your victim from behind and stun or kill him. Now you can put on Tin Foil Hat Man disguise.

Exit the toilet and return to the courtroom accompanied by a guard - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Exit the toilet and return to the courtroom accompanied by a guard. Place yourself in the spot shown on the above screen and wait for the judgment.

Now you can head to the door leading to the holding cells - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in defendant disguise - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you can head to the door leading to the holding cells. It is located on the right side (screen above). No one will stop you in the meantime, but make sure that you do not accidentally enter the evidence room - you do not have an access to be there.

General assumptions: The last possibility is to ignore both judge and defendant disguises. This is not recommended variant, because even if you put on court security guard disguise or court usher disguise, you could be easily exposed.

You can get to the holding cells in three main ways - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in a traditional way - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get to the holding cells in three main ways. The first option is to use court security guard disguise. The best way to obtain such disguise is attacking a guard in the office room on the ground floor (screen above) or in the storage on the floor or in the archive room in the building adjacent to the courthouse. After obtaining disguise you should get back to the courtroom and then bypass characters that can expose Hitman by using Instinct or throwable objects.

Another method is to use court usher disguise - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in a traditional way - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method is to use court usher disguise. This disguise can be easily obtained by attacking a janitor in the library on the floor of the courthouse (screen above). I recommend using radio or throwable objects to distract nearby guards and then perform the action. After obtaining disguise you should get back to the courtroom and then bypass characters that can expose Hitman by using Instinct or throwable objects. Staying unexposed is bit easier in this case.

The third way involves staying in the default Hitman's suit - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in a traditional way - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third way involves staying in the default Hitman's suit. You can try to run to the exit (screen above) or use point shooting mode for example and quickly eliminate guards in the courtroom.

All variants described above will get you to the two doors shown on the above screen - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in a traditional way - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

All variants described above will get you to the two doors shown on the above screen. If you got a keycard taken from the security room located on the ground floor, you can open the left door. Otherwise choose the right door, leading to the evidence room.

In the evidence room you may encounter at least two court security guards, so you have to be very careful - Courthouse - Getting to the holding cells in a traditional way - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the evidence room you may encounter at least two court security guards, so you have to be very careful. Locate a ventilation shaft shown on the above screen and get inside, thus bypassing the locked door. Finally approach another door, which directly leads to the holding cells and wait until Agent 47 unlocks it.

General objectives of the stage: Holding cells is the second of three stages of the Skurky's Law mission. It is short stage, but depending on previously chosen disguise (or default Hitman's suit), its course can differ.

If you use judge disguise, then you can reach the main area of this location without problems - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you use judge disguise, then you can reach the main area of this location without problems. Depending on your preferences you can allow one of guards to accompany you there or get there alone.

If you use Tin Foil Hat Man disguise, then the course of actions is similar to previous one - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you use Tin Foil Hat Man disguise, then the course of actions is similar to previous one. No one will stop you or bother you until you reach the room with two empty cells. The problem appears when you reach the exit door. So I recommend overtaking the guard accompanying Hitman and get there as fast as possible or using the previously mentioned ventilation shaft.

If you use court security guard/court usher disguise or you do not have any disguise at all, you have to start sneaking - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you use court security guard/court usher disguise or you do not have any disguise at all, you have to start sneaking. In the start section of this location you'll encounter two or three guards, depending on the difficulty settings. Try to eliminate them or distract them with throwable objects.

A good way to safely reach the exit point is choosing a right corridor shown on the above screen, leading to the small basement - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A good way to safely reach the exit point is choosing a right corridor shown on the above screen, leading to the small basement.

Stay focused, because you may encounter someone in the basement, depending on your difficulty settings - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stay focused, because you may encounter someone in the basement, depending on your difficulty settings. Try to stun this person (you can easily hide the body), or pass by the enemy. Regardless of your actions, locate the entrance to the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen.

The ultimate goal of your walk is a room adjacent to two empty cells - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The ultimate goal of your walk is a room adjacent to two empty cells. First of all, you can find evidence there, shown on the above screen.

In order to exit this location you have to unlock the door shown on the above screen - Holding cells - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to exit this location you have to unlock the door shown on the above screen. NOTE - This action will be considered as aggressive even if you use judge disguise. So wait until the court security guard, who watches the door from time to time, leaves his place (stay in the area or hide in the ventilation shaft). Once he walks away, quickly move to the door and unlock it.

General objectives of the stage: Prison is the third, last stage of the fifteenth game mission. This location is a bit bigger that the previous one and it would be best to stay hidden all the time. The main objective of this stage is to reach a place where Victoria is being kept and as you can guess, in order to locate the girl you have to go through virtually the entire prison.

Stop after reaching the first group of enemies - Hope policemen - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Stop after reaching the first group of enemies - Hope policemen. You have to stay hidden, because ANY disguise (even judge disguise) can't guarantee you safety. I suggest staying hidden in the whole stage, but if you necessarily need Hope police officer disguise, then you can attack the opponent who will walk away from the main group after a while. It would be best to stun him when he gets close to the closet, so you can quickly hide his body.

There are policemen bullying one of prisoners - it would be best to walk past them - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are policemen bullying one of prisoners - it would be best to walk past them. But if you would like to save the prisoner, you might use point shooting. As a reward for saving prisoner's life, you'll learn safe code to the safe in a nearby room (wait for proper information on the screen before you leave the cell).

Regardless of you behavior, carefully approach a guard-room shown on the above screen - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of you behavior, carefully approach a guard-room shown on the above screen. You can ignore the enemy standing on the right because he won't change his position.

Quickly move towards the guard-room, crouching all the time - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Quickly move towards the guard-room, crouching all the time. I suggest stopping at the place shown on the above screen - a cover near the entrance to the guard-room.

Do not hurry and do not enter the guard-room prematurely - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Do not hurry and do not enter the guard-room prematurely. You have to wait until two local guards turn back (you can also distract them with a throwable item) and then start your actions. If you have a safe code, then you can unlock it now. Unfortunately, inside the safe you'll find only STG 58. More important is to interact with button to open the gate to another part of the prison.

Exit the guard-room and quickly move to the newly unlocked passage, trying to do this before enemies return to their posts - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Exit the guard-room and quickly move to the newly unlocked passage, trying to do this before enemies return to their posts.

Again, I do not advise to hurry, because there is a single enemy in a side room you're passing by and he could notice you - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Again, I do not advise to hurry, because there is a single enemy in a side room you're passing by and he could notice you. It would be good to eliminate this person in order to obtain evidence left in the room. If you do not want o risk, wait until he turns around and only after that move ahead.

Carefully approach the largest area in the prison, where policemen organize illegal prisoners' fights - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Carefully approach the largest area in the prison, where policemen organize illegal prisoners' fights. Regardless of the difficulty setting I recommend using the right ladder shown on the above screen. It allows you to reach upper balconies. Move over balconies to omit all policemen.

A long an unguarded corridor leads to the last prison room - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A long an unguarded corridor leads to the last prison room. After a while you'll reach a locked gate. Your goal can be reached in two ways. First method is destroying the lock (screen above), using Silverballers for example.

An alternative way to go past the gate is entering the left cell and using a tunnel shown on the above screen - Prison - 15: Skurkys Law - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

An alternative way to go past the gate is entering the left cell and using a tunnel shown on the above screen. Opening the last door ends the mission.

General objectives of the stage: County jail is the first of five stages of the Operation Sledgehammer mission. The main objective is to escape the county jail, where Agent 47 was held. You should have no problems with that, although in order to avoid being detected you should complete all successive steps carefully and faultless.

Start with pressing a key/button shown on the screen, to free yourself - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start with pressing a key/button shown on the screen, to free yourself. After successful action go to the fire alarm switch in front of you and activate it.

Return to the chair, sit down and wait for the guard - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the chair, sit down and wait for the guard. Depending on your preferences you can stun/kill him (in such case you might consider using Hope police officer disguise) or use the situation when he is busy with fire alarm switch and quickly escape the guard-room.

Turn left and head to the stairs - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Turn left and head to the stairs. Stop after reaching the storeroom shown on the above screen. Get interested in a power cord here, which will act as garrote later on. As for a new cop, same as previously - you can stun/kill him or sneak past him. In the latter case, wait until he turns around or use Instinct. I propose to take the opportunity and use first aid box here, since Hitman is weakened due to recent tortures.

You can reach the main area of the county jail in two main ways - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can reach the main area of the county jail in two main ways. First method is getting to the door shown on the above screen.

I do not recommend this variant, because you'd be forced to walk through almost entire county jail - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I do not recommend this variant, because you'd be forced to walk through almost entire county jail. It would be also harder to get to Hitman's Silverballers which must be retrieved before leaving this location. But if you want to try it out anyway, start using desks and pillars as covers, monitoring enemies' actions all the time.

The second method is more interesting and is based on using the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second method is more interesting and is based on using the ventilation shaft shown on the above screen.

Once you reach its end, stop for few moments and wait until the cop in the room turns around and walks to the left - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you reach its end, stop for few moments and wait until the cop in the room turns around and walks to the left. Depending on your preferences you can stun/kill him or try to sneak past him, using the desk in the central spot of the room as cover.

As mentioned earlier, you have to retrieve Silverballers before you can leave the county jail - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

As mentioned earlier, you have to retrieve Silverballers before you can leave the county jail. These are left in the area shown on the above screen and you can get there easier if you've followed my instructions and used the ventilation shaft. In such situation you have to reach the adjacent room. Otherwise you have to find some alternative route there.

It is very important not to being noticed by a cop, who walks between desks, stopping alternatively at the one with Silverballers and one located on the right (it happens regardless of difficulty setting) - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It is very important not to being noticed by a cop, who walks between desks, stopping alternatively at the one with Silverballers and one located on the right (it happens regardless of difficulty setting). Wait until he walks away from pistols and then quickly retrieve them.

1 - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe exit from the county jail can be reached in two main ways: moving along the counter shown on the screen 1 to the right or heading to the door shown on the screen 2 (wait until recently bypassed cop walks to the left desk) - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The exit from the county jail can be reached in two main ways: moving along the counter shown on the screen 1 to the right or heading to the door shown on the screen 2 (wait until recently bypassed cop walks to the left desk).

Before you leave this location, I would suggest looking for evidence - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before you leave this location, I would suggest looking for evidence. In order to do this, head to the back of the main room (it would be best to use another moving door). Wait until nearby guards walk away (or distract them with a throwable item) and quickly get the secret shown on the above screen.

The exit from the county jail is located near the place, where you've found your pistols (it is shown on the above screen) - County jail - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The exit from the county jail is located near the place, where you've found your pistols (it is shown on the above screen).

General objectives of the stage: Outgunned is the second stage of the Operation Sledgehammer mission. Starting from this place the game will force you to evade Agency soldiers hunting Hitman. This stage consists of quite large area adjacent to the police station, though which you have to pass as safe as possible.

Spend few moments to get familiar with a current situation - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Spend few moments to get familiar with a current situation. A square in front of the police station is patrolled by Agency soldiers and you can't feel safe even if you use Hope police officer disguise, because they have been ordered to eliminate all persons they encounter. So you have to act staying hidden or obtain Agency grunt disguise and use Instinct regularly.

Your current goal is located on the other side of the map, near the gas tank in flames visible in the distance (right from the starting place) - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current goal is located on the other side of the map, near the gas tank in flames visible in the distance (right from the starting place). You can get there in two main ways. First variant assumes that you get to the left ladder shown on the above screen. There are at least three Agency grunts in the area. It would be good to kill them all (point shooting or single headshots while hiding) or lure at least one of them to the secluded place in order to attack him by a surprise.

Second variant assumes going to the right - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Second variant assumes going to the right. In this situation I suggest jumping between closest walls, so enemies visible in the distance won't notice you (this is required only on higher difficulty levels). Stop after approaching the van shown on the above screen, where one of Agency soldiers stops from time to time.

Before you go any further, it would be good to use a throwable item to lure out one of the enemies in order to obtain Agency grunt disguise - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before you go any further, it would be good to use a throwable item to lure out one of the enemies in order to obtain Agency grunt disguise. This will allow you to explore a command center located on the square in front of the police station. You will also be able to collect evidence shown on the above screen.

If you have chosen a left path, then use the previously mentioned ladder - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have chosen a left path, then use the previously mentioned ladder. After getting to the upper balcony you could safely attack enemies at the square but if you want to stay hidden, then locate and interactive edge shown on the above screen and drop down.

Once you get to one of main city streets, carefully sneak past enemies here, using boxes and parked cars as covers - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to one of main city streets, carefully sneak past enemies here, using boxes and parked cars as covers.

Eventually you should reach buildings located on the left side - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Eventually you should reach buildings located on the left side. Start moving ahead, watching out for guards patrolling area on your right. Often use covers and use Instinct when needed. You may also use throwable objects to distract enemies.

If you have chosen a right path, then after getting to the previously mentioned van turn right, reaching the area with several containers - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have chosen a right path, then after getting to the previously mentioned van turn right, reaching the area with several containers. Locate and interactive edge shown on the above screen and climb up to the upper balcony.

On lower difficulty levels the balcony is patrolled by only one guard, so you can easily eliminate or avoid him - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On lower difficulty levels the balcony is patrolled by only one guard, so you can easily eliminate or avoid him. On higher difficulty levels there are two Agency soldier on the balcony (screen above). In this case I suggest using throwable objects (e.g. brick) or point shooting.

Locate the stairs shown on the above screen and carefully approach two new guards - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Locate the stairs shown on the above screen and carefully approach two new guards. Also in this case you might use a throwable object (e.g. bottle), but you can also use Instinct to walk past them safely.

1 - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughRegardless of chosen variant you'll approach 4 Agency soldiers standing near the flaming cistern - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of chosen variant you'll approach 4 Agency soldiers standing near the flaming cistern. If you have chosen the left path, stop at the car shown on the screen 1. If you've chosen the right path, stop at the spot shown on the screen 2, so you won't be spotted by enemies you've recently bypassed.

In both cases described above you have to wait until soldiers decide to leave the area, heading towards the command center located on the square in front of the police station - Outgunned - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In both cases described above you have to wait until soldiers decide to leave the area, heading towards the command center located on the square in front of the police station. Head to the warehouse entrance shown on the above screen. Once you get inside, locate the door leading to the next location.

General objectives of the stage: Burn is the third stage of the sixteenth game mission. It's entirely focused on avoiding Agency soldiers patrolling the smoky building. Depending on the difficulty setting, remaining hidden may be more or less demanding task.

The initial part of this stage is very linear and despite numerous explosions in the area, you have nothing to fear - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The initial part of this stage is very linear and despite numerous explosions in the area, you have nothing to fear. I advise to take any throwable item with you along your way (e.g. screwdriver or hammer), because you may find this useful after few moments. Proper struggle begins after reaching the door shown on the above screen, leading to the smoky part of the warehouse.

Two Agency heavy troopers will soon enter the first warehouse room - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Two Agency heavy troopers will soon enter the first warehouse room. If you intend to attack them, wait until they split and only then start your actions. I recommend using a power cable (found in the area or taken from the county jail) as a garrote, so your opponent won't alarm his colleagues.

Personally I would advise to avoid both soldiers, especially that elimination of them won't gain you nothing (Agency heavy trooper disguise has the same risk level of detection as Agency grunt disguise) - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Personally I would advise to avoid both soldiers, especially that elimination of them won't gain you nothing (Agency heavy trooper disguise has the same risk level of detection as Agency grunt disguise). Regardless of how you've acted, choose the passage shown on the above screen, leading to the main part of the warehouse.

You have to be more careful here, because even on lower difficulty levels you'll encounter in this area 5-6 Agency heavy troopers - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You have to be more careful here, because even on lower difficulty levels you'll encounter in this area 5-6 Agency heavy troopers. Theoretically you could lure them out to the previous area and eliminate one by one but avoiding them is safer. The best way to avoid first group of enemy is to use the balcony shown on the above screen.

You can shorten your way and directly go to the left platform shown on the above screen - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can shorten your way and directly go to the left platform shown on the above screen. On higher difficulty levels you would need to use Instinct and/or throwable objects to distract enemies. This platform is also reached from the previously mentioned balcony.

The second part of the main part of the warehouse is occupied by large group of enemies - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second part of the main part of the warehouse is occupied by large group of enemies. The easiest way to avoid them is to walk over the central platform and climbing down at the place shown on the above screen.

If you don't want to use the central platform, you can go also to the right, reaching two smaller balconies shown on the above screen - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you don't want to use the central platform, you can go also to the right, reaching two smaller balconies shown on the above screen.

Current area of the warehouse can be left in two main ways - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Current area of the warehouse can be left in two main ways. The main passage is weakly guarded on lower difficulty levels, but on higher difficulty levels you will encounter here additional enemies, so it is difficult to remain hidden. You can find here also evidence, which can be obtained with usage of Instinct or throwable items.

The alternative passage is the door shown on the above screen, located in one of warehouse's corners - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The alternative passage is the door shown on the above screen, located in one of warehouse's corners. The door should be guarded by anyone, but you have to watch out along your way there.

The last area of the warehouse is not guarded on lower difficulty levels and on higher difficulty levels you'll encounter here a single enemy, who fortunately can be easily avoided or eliminated - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last area of the warehouse is not guarded on lower difficulty levels and on higher difficulty levels you'll encounter here a single enemy, who fortunately can be easily avoided or eliminated. Exit the warehouse (screen above).

Finally go through several linear locations, where you won't encounter any soldiers - Burn - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Finally go through several linear locations, where you won't encounter any soldiers. Reaching the door leading to the market and opening it automatically transfer you to the next stage.

General objectives of the stage: Hope Fair is the fourth stage of the Operation Sledgehammer mission. This stage is the longest and by far most challenging, because its main objective is to cross the Hope market, full of enemies. A purpose of reaching the other side of the market is to get the wounded sheriff Skurky.

You start exploring the new location in on the bar floor - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start exploring the new location in on the bar floor. Notice the sniper standing next to the window. It would be good to eliminate him, especially if you plan to stay in the area longer and not try to get to the exit as fast as possible. Try to hide the body in some secluded place, so it won't be found by enemies that can appear here after few minutes.

I suggest using the catwalk leading to the adjacent room on the floor - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I suggest using the catwalk leading to the adjacent room on the floor. You will find there Black Kazo TRG sniper rifle shown on the above screen and also proximity mines and remote explosives.

1 - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt would be good now to decide how you want to get to the door located on the other end of the market - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It would be good now to decide how you want to get to the door located on the other end of the market. The first method assumes using the sniper rifle. In such situation I recommend some early preparations. A good idea is to plant mines in the area, so you won't have to worry about enemies after starting the alarm. I suggest planting the first mine on the stairs, near the starting place (screen 1) and another in the right corridor leading to the fire staircase (screen 2).

The best spot to place yourself with the sniper rifle is the place shown on the above screen - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best spot to place yourself with the sniper rifle is the place shown on the above screen. Start with eliminating a sniper on the rooftop of the left building and then kill the rest of enemies. On higher difficulty levels your actions will be noticed quite early, even if you eliminate single targets. In such situation try to shoot on the longer distance from the damaged building wall and listen for your mines explosions, so enemies won't surprise you.

When you run out of sniper rifle ammo, it would be good to return to the place where you've killed the sniper and continue shooting using one of assault rifles - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When you run out of sniper rifle ammo, it would be good to return to the place where you've killed the sniper and continue shooting using one of assault rifles. You can also get down and start more open fights with the rest of enemies.

Another method of behavior assumes getting to the exit point without alerting enemies - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another method of behavior assumes getting to the exit point without alerting enemies. If you play on one of lower difficulty levels then you can choose a corridor located right from the place where you've found a sniper rifle and explosives, leading to the fire staircase. Once you get down, move straight ahead, staying close to right buildings (screen above).

If you play on one of higher difficulty setting then return to the place, where you've encounter a sniper earlier and go down the stairs - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on one of higher difficulty setting then return to the place, where you've encounter a sniper earlier and go down the stairs. Exit the bar and turn left, crossing the empty stage (screen above).

I recommend doing a first stop at the place shown on the above screen - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I recommend doing a first stop at the place shown on the above screen. On higher difficulty levels there are more enemies in the area and you should especially watch out for e heavy trooper walking among the crowd.

The second stop should be made at the cover shown on the above screen - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second stop should be made at the cover shown on the above screen. On higher difficulty levels you can't hide here for too long, because you might be noticed by enemies you've bypassed earlier. In such situation you can use throwable object to distract them for few seconds.

The last stop should be done at the counter shown on the above screen, regardless of the path you've chosen (left at the buildings or right from the main street) - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last stop should be done at the counter shown on the above screen, regardless of the path you've chosen (left at the buildings or right from the main street). You'll recognize this place easily because of two talking enemies.

2 - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and WalkthroughIt would be good now to decide about your next steps - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

It would be good now to decide about your next steps. Right from your current position you can find evidence (screen 1). The best way to get there is to use Instinct or distract enemies. In the latter case I recommend using remote explosives obtained at the beginning of the mission (screen 2). An additional advantage of this method is that explosions of vehicles will kill at least several Agency soldiers.

Regardless of whether you've got the secret or not, you have to reach the door shown on the above screen - Hope Fair - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you've got the secret or not, you have to reach the door shown on the above screen. I advise here using covers skillfully and move in the right moments. This is particularly important on higher difficulty levels, because there are at least two additional Agency heavy troopers in the area. As a last resort you can try to run to the door, because Hitman won't have to lose precious seconds to unlock it.

General objectives of the stage: Outskirts is very short, last stage of the Operation Sledgehammer mission, which is not event listed on the selectable list of stages in the game main menu. The main objective of this stage is to get sheriff Skurky to eliminate him.

Once you regain control over Agent 47, head to the church visible in a distance, where sheriff Skurky is hiding in - Outskirts - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you regain control over Agent 47, head to the church visible in a distance, where sheriff Skurky is hiding in. There are no other objects in the area so enter the church right away.

Prepare yourself, because you'll face a scene familiar to the confrontation with Wade in one of previous game mission - Outskirts - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Prepare yourself, because you'll face a scene familiar to the confrontation with Wade in one of previous game mission. Quickly mark Skurky for elimination and start the point shooting mode to murder him, thus ending the mission.

General objectives of the stage: One of a Kind is the name of very short mission which resembles End of the Road in many aspects. You do not have to perform any complicated operations, because this is only a short chapter in which you buy a new suit for Agent 47.

Once you get inside the tailor shop of Tommy Clemenza, go to the dressing room shown on the above screen and interact with the suit prepared for Hitman - Tailor shop - 17: One of a Kind - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside the tailor shop of Tommy Clemenza, go to the dressing room shown on the above screen and interact with the suit prepared for Hitman.

Theoretically you can leave now this location, but before you do it, I recommend finding the door leading to the basement shown on the above screen - Tailor shop - 17: One of a Kind - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Theoretically you can leave now this location, but before you do it, I recommend finding the door leading to the basement shown on the above screen. Inside you'll find evidence and disguises - bird costume, hot sauce factory chef, ice cream truck driver and sewer worker. Exit the shop to end the mission.

General objectives of the stage: Blackwater Park is the first of two stages of the eighteenth game mission. It is very long and very challenging stage. The beginning part is definitely the most difficult part and thus I suggest familiarize well with the area around the main residential building.

You start the mission standing on the driveway in front of the residential building - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start the mission standing on the driveway in front of the residential building. The entrance shown on the above screen can be used only after obtaining a disguise (plumber or Blackwater custodian - details are available later on), because otherwise you would be stopped right after getting to the lobby. So it would be better for now to ignore it.

Not far from the main entrance you'll encounter two or three bodyguards - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Not far from the main entrance you'll encounter two or three bodyguards. This is a good spot for obtaining Blackwater Park exterior guard disguise. I recommend starting a car alarm in first of vehicles parked here, wait until one of guards comes here and then kill or stun him. Try to do it while remaining hidden. Unfortunately this tactics has one major drawback, because you are not able to hide guard's body, so you have to try to eliminate all enemies here or reckon with the fact that this body can be found by someone later in this mission.

1 - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you go to the right, you'll reach vicinity of gardens and this area is restricted for unauthorized persons, so you have to stay hidden all the time or use Blackwater Park exterior guard disguise - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you go to the right, you'll reach vicinity of gardens and this area is restricted for unauthorized persons, so you have to stay hidden all the time or use Blackwater Park exterior guard disguise. I do not recommend a left passage shown on the screen 1, because you probably do not have any throwable item to distract the first guard and in addition you would encounter more guards along your way, which could be easily bypassed. So it would be best to try to bypass the group shown on the screen 2 on their right side.

If you've chosen the right passage, stay alerted because on higher difficulty levels a single guard with a flashlight will suddenly rush towards you (screen above) - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've chosen the right passage, stay alerted because on higher difficulty levels a single guard with a flashlight will suddenly rush towards you (screen above). You can use Instinct to walk past him or quickly withdraw and wait until he turns around.

2 - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best way to get to the back of the residential building is a path shown on the screen 1, but you do not have to hurry - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best way to get to the back of the residential building is a path shown on the screen 1, but you do not have to hurry. You should also watch out for enemies appearing at left passages. I do not recommend getting close to the area shown on the screen 2. There are at least 2 guards there (plus janitor), which can be hardly bypassed, even on lower difficulty levels.

If you've kept on the main road, then you'll get to the parking lot shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you've kept on the main road, then you'll get to the parking lot shown on the above screen. On lower difficulty levels you'll encounter here only two enemies guarding the building entrance visible in a distance. On higher difficulty levels the parking lot is patrolled by one additional person. It would be best to eliminate this character, using a car alarm to lure him out into some secluded place.

After few moments a plumber will appear on the parking lot and I strongly recommend getting interested in this person, because by obtaining his disguise you'll get an access to the entire location (except the security room inside the building) - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After few moments a plumber will appear on the parking lot and I strongly recommend getting interested in this person, because by obtaining his disguise you'll get an access to the entire location (except the security room inside the building). The plumber will stop at one of vehicles and it would be good to lure him out then into some secluded place by activating a car alarm. On higher difficulty levels watch out for the guard patrolling the adjacent street. Wait until he walks away and then deal with the plumber.

A guard mentioned above is patrolling a road leading to the partially flooded parking lot - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A guard mentioned above is patrolling a road leading to the partially flooded parking lot. The most interesting thing there is a waterpump. By turning it off you'll force one of janitors to check the problem and as result you'll be able to obtain Blackwater custodian disguise (after successful action I suggest dumping the body into the hole).

The last important area is the guardhouse shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Exploring surroundings of the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last important area is the guardhouse shown on the above screen. Regardless of the difficulty settings, you should encounter inside one Blackwater Park interior guard and one Blackwater Park exterior guard. There is also evidence to be found inside - it would be best to collect them while wearing plumber or Blackwater custodian disguise (you can also distract guards by throwing some objects or activating car alarm).

General assumptions: The next step, after exploration of area around the residential building, is getting inside. The game offers in this case several possibilities, however the most important thing is to have the best possible disguise.

You can get inside the residential building in three main ways - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can get inside the residential building in three main ways. The first variant is to use the main entrance door, the one located near the mission starting point.

As mentioned earlier, the lobby is restricted for unauthorized persons and you can't count on sneaking past the guards, so you need some disguise - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

As mentioned earlier, the lobby is restricted for unauthorized persons and you can't count on sneaking past the guards, so you need some disguise. Personally I recommend using plumber disguise or Blackwater custodian disguise. In case of having one of guards' disguises you would have to keep using Instinct to hide your identity.

The second method is using the side entrance door, located at the building's back - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second method is using the side entrance door, located at the building's back. As for reminder, this door is located near the parking lot guarded by two or three enemies (screen above).

After using the mentioned door, you'll find yourself in the corridor inside the building's basement (screen above) - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After using the mentioned door, you'll find yourself in the corridor inside the building's basement (screen above). In this case it would be best to use plumber disguise, because later you may encounter both Blackwater guards and janitors on your way.

The third possibility to get inside the building is crossing the ventilation shaft - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third possibility to get inside the building is crossing the ventilation shaft. The entrance is also located at the building's back. You have to get to the guardhouse located near the partially flooded underground parking lot (screen above).

The shaft entrance can be found in one of rooms adjacent to the guardhouse and is shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The shaft entrance can be found in one of rooms adjacent to the guardhouse and is shown on the above screen. If you're using Blackwater custodian disguise (or you do not have any), then you have to watch out, because there are many janitors in the area.

After crossing the shaft you'll also find yourself in the basement, but behind the counter shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Getting inside the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After crossing the shaft you'll also find yourself in the basement, but behind the counter shown on the above screen. As result, you can try to sneak to the stairs leading to the building's lobby (unless you have plumber disguise, because in this case you do not have to sneak) or attack a guard patrolling this area to obtain Blackwater Park interior guard disguise.

General assumptions: Getting inside the residential building gets you a little closer to the end of the mission, but also in this case it is advisable that you carefully get to know the layout of rooms in the buildings and possibilities of actions.

Lobby is the most important part of the building - Blackwater Park - Exploring the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Lobby is the most important part of the building. First of all, you should pay attention to actions of the security woman shown on the above screen. Remember that person, because she is the only one who can unlock the left to the next main location.

The second important place is a security room, located near lobby and shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Exploring the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second important place is a security room, located near lobby and shown on the above screen. Do not get inside the room unprepared if you're using "civilian" disguise (plumber, janitor, manager, receptionist), because only security personnel can be inside (Blackwater Park interior/exterior guard). You should also remember this location, because getting inside the security room is one of methods to call the lift.

There are plenty of smaller rooms around the lobby and security room, connected with narrow corridors - Blackwater Park - Exploring the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are plenty of smaller rooms around the lobby and security room, connected with narrow corridors. You should get interested in a corridor on the security room's back, shown on the above screen, because regardless of the difficulty settings it is guarded by only one person. So it is a good place to obtain Blackwater Park interior guard disguise.

During exploration of the building you should find a movie reel - Blackwater Park - Exploring the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During exploration of the building you should find a movie reel. After that you can take it to the film projector located in one of adjacent rooms and shown on the above screen. In this way you'll lure many local guards inside the ball room, unfortunately not those from the security room.

The last place where you should look into is a storage shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Exploring the residential building - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last place where you should look into is a storage shown on the above screen. Pay attention to the garbage chute, which can be helpful to dispose large amount of bodies easily. In addition you can find here ready-to-wear receptionist disguise, which you can use now if you have only one of guards' disguises.

General assumptions: The last part of the first stage of this mission is unlocking the access to the lift. The game allows you to do this in many ways, including the deceit or by eliminating all enemies in the building.

You can advance to the second stage of the eighteenth mission in three main ways - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can advance to the second stage of the eighteenth mission in three main ways. The first method is definitely most aggressive because it assumes that you murder the security woman and bring her body to the retinal scanner. I suggest making some preparations in this case - first of all make a usage of quite large storage of weapons, located at the back of the security room (screen above).

Return to the lobby, activate point shooting mode and try to eliminate as many local enemies as possible - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the lobby, activate point shooting mode and try to eliminate as many local enemies as possible.

Once you eliminate a first group of enemies, take cover and start killing other enemies - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you eliminate a first group of enemies, take cover and start killing other enemies. I suggest choosing such covers that opponents won't be able to attack Hitman from different sides. If you get seriously hit, you can use one of medical cabinets present in the building.

After initial clearing of the area quickly locate the security woman body and start dragging it - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After initial clearing of the area quickly locate the security woman body and start dragging it. You have to drag it to the lift and interact with the retinal scanner. Try to finish this task before you'll got company, because otherwise you would have to deal with more enemies first.

Another possibility it to hack to the computer terminal in order to call the lift - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another possibility it to hack to the computer terminal in order to call the lift. The mentioned terminal is located in the security room (screen above) and you can get inside in few ways. You could choose one of two main entrances or go to the room back and use one of alternative passages.

In the security room you can encounter at least two enemies, even on lower difficulty settings - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the security room you can encounter at least two enemies, even on lower difficulty settings. In addition you have to watch out for other persons (and the security woman), which can show up here. This problem can be solved in two ways - you can use the guard disguise and Instinct or lure out enemies from the security room to eliminate them later. In the latter case I suggest using a radio in one of adjacent corridors and throwable objects.

A terminal which you have to locate is shown on the above screen - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A terminal which you have to locate is shown on the above screen. Fortunately it is located near one of the security room exits, so right after successful action leave that room.

Now go back to the lift, call it (screen above) and enter inside - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now go back to the lift, call it (screen above) and enter inside.

The last variant assumes using the Blackwater manager disguise to outsmart the security woman - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last variant assumes using the Blackwater manager disguise to outsmart the security woman. You have to start with locating the Blackwater manager, who wears a red suit (screen above).

1 - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best place to attack him is a large room with movie projector (screen 1) or a corridor at the back of the security room (screen 2) - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The best place to attack him is a large room with movie projector (screen 1) or a corridor at the back of the security room (screen 2). In both cases you have to eliminate local guards first. Put on Blackwater manager disguise and hide the body of neutralized opponent.

The last action to be performed now is locating the security woman - Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last action to be performed now is locating the security woman. Approach her and let her walk you to the lift which she will unlock after a moment.

General objectives of the stage: Penthouse is the second and last stage of the Blackwater Park mission. This location is even more complex that the previous one and you will encounter here many enemies, so you must follow well-planned steps.

I wouldn't advise jumping into the lift, on which you started this stage, because you would have been forced to eliminate a large group of enemies almost immediately - Penthouse - Getting to the main part of the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I wouldn't advise jumping into the lift, on which you started this stage, because you would have been forced to eliminate a large group of enemies almost immediately. You can take this solution only if you going to take a very aggressive style of play and in this case it would be good to have some Instinct to start the point shooting mode.

A much better solution is walking over the edge shown on the above screen - Penthouse - Getting to the main part of the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better solution is walking over the edge shown on the above screen. When you reach its end, climb down and jump to the lower balcony. Now walk through several linear corridors, eventually reaching the door leading to the main part of the penthouse.

Before we move further to describe specific areas of the penthouse, a few words about your current situation - Penthouse - Getting to the main part of the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Before we move further to describe specific areas of the penthouse, a few words about your current situation. The main objective of this stage is Layla Stockton and throughout the entire mission she walks over different rooms of the penthouse, accompanied by several members of Dexter personal gaur team.

The important thing is to obtain disguise, because none of previously acquired clothes will guarantee you safety here - Penthouse - Getting to the main part of the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The important thing is to obtain disguise, because none of previously acquired clothes will guarantee you safety here. I would also advise avoiding using disguises because even on lower difficulty levels there are plenty enemies in the area. Definitely easier thing is to obtain Blackwater bodyguard disguise. I suggest going straight, reaching outer penthouse balconies. Attack here one of enemies patrolling balconies (screen above).

Blackwater tactical team disguise is more difficult to obtain - Penthouse - Getting to the main part of the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Blackwater tactical team disguise is more difficult to obtain. However it is worth to try because thanks to that you'll be able to freely move over the entire penthouse (except Lenny's bedroom), worrying only about avoiding Layla's personal guards. On lower difficulty levels the mentioned disguise can be obtained after reaching the main part of the penthouse and attacking one of persons following Layla with garrote (screen above). After the action, quickly hide the body.

On higher difficulty levels the tactics described above probably won't work, because in this case the penthouse ground floor is patrolled and guarded by additional enemies - Penthouse - Getting to the main part of the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On higher difficulty levels the tactics described above probably won't work, because in this case the penthouse ground floor is patrolled and guarded by additional enemies. In such case I suggest attacking one of Layla's guards when she stops in one of penthouse rooms, for example in the office, near the laptop (more on this on the following pages).

General assumptions: Penthouse is large, two-level location, which should be carefully explored in order to plan how to get rid of Layla. The safest way to move around is to disguise as Blackwater tactical team member, because in case of using Blackwater bodyguard disguise, you would have to use Instinct often to hide your identity.

The main room on the ground floor (screen above) is permanently guarded by about three people even on the lower difficulty levels, but you have to watch out more for enemies patrolling the penthouse, because they can appear here unexpectedly, making it difficult for you to remain hidden - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The main room on the ground floor (screen above) is permanently guarded by about three people even on the lower difficulty levels, but you have to watch out more for enemies patrolling the penthouse, because they can appear here unexpectedly, making it difficult for you to remain hidden.

Another of easier accessible rooms on the ground floor is the one with the elevator with murdered sushi delivery boy (screen above) - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another of easier accessible rooms on the ground floor is the one with the elevator with murdered sushi delivery boy (screen above). In this case enemies are focused at one place, so you can easily sneak past them (I recommend jumping between pillars). Pay attention to the locked door. It requires a keycard (from Lenny's bedroom or from the office with the laptop - more information can be found below), but the rooms behind it can be accessed from the other side. You can also wait until one of guard unlocks it and quickly walk behind him.

Two rooms described above are connected with a narrow tunnel and outer balconies shown on the above screen - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Two rooms described above are connected with a narrow tunnel and outer balconies shown on the above screen. You should use these balconies, but watch out for enemies patrolling them (two or three). Be careful also near penthouse shutters because guards inside like standing close to them.

Another way to move between rooms mentioned at the beginning is using the upper inner balconies inside the penthouse (screen above) - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another way to move between rooms mentioned at the beginning is using the upper inner balconies inside the penthouse (screen above). Unfortunately this is very risky, because even on lower difficulty setting these are patrolled by many enemies.

1 - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the penthouse floor you'll find two places connected to different ways of eliminating Layla - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On the penthouse floor you'll find two places connected to different ways of eliminating Layla. Lenny's bedroom (screen 1) is the only room you can't access, even when using Blackwater tactical team disguise. So it would be good to eliminate enemies guarding the entrance or distract them. Inside the Lenny's bedroom you can find a sniper rifle and a keycard among other things. Another room on this floor is a trophy chamber (screen 2) - watch out here for laser traps.

2 - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Get back to the ground floor - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Get back to the ground floor. Harder accessible room can be reached by unlocking the door in the room with the lift or by passing through the one of two passages shown on above screens. Both passages are located left from the place, where you started exploration of the penthouse, near the stairs.

In the room with a huge whale skeleton (screen above), you'll encounter a large group of enemies, but you might look around - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the room with a huge whale skeleton (screen above), you'll encounter a large group of enemies, but you might look around. You'll find here many weapons and evidence left on one of the couches.

In the office room, adjacent to the one described above, you should encounter only two still opponents, so you can explore it without problems - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In the office room, adjacent to the one described above, you should encounter only two still opponents, so you can explore it without problems. At one of laptops you can find another keycard.

Other rooms are not relevant in getting to know the penthouse - Penthouse - Exploring the penthouse - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Other rooms are not relevant in getting to know the penthouse. These are namely a room with a fireplace and area with Layla's panic room (screen above). Taking this opportunity you can also explore a second set of upper balconies, but you won't find there anything interesting except levers helpful in arranging accidents (more on that later in the walkthrough).

So much for exploration, let's get to the practice, which is choosing the way of eliminating Layla Stockton. Suggested ways of behavior are listed in three consecutive subsections of this guide:

  • Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - In this subchapter you'll find information on how to eliminate Dexter's collaborator in the usual way, i.e. with melee weapons, firearms and explosives.
  • Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - In this subchapter you'll find information on how to eliminate Layla using the elements of the environment.
  • Penthouse - Defeating Layla in a melee fight - In this subchapter you'll find information on how to eliminate Layla in a duel in her panic room.

General assumptions: First of all you can eliminate Layla Stockton using the elements of Hitman's inventory and his skills. Some methods are easy and some need preparations and skillful usage of possessed objects.

Once of the most obvious ways to complete the current objective is killing Layla after approaching her - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once of the most obvious ways to complete the current objective is killing Layla after approaching her. One major difficulty is fact, that Layla almost all the time is in move and walks accompanied by bodyguards, so in order to avoid detection you have to ambush her somewhere, where she comes without guards. One of such location is outside penthouse balconies (screen above). In this case (melee fight, garrote or side arms), after the successful attack I recommend dropping her body over the railing, so no one can find it later.

1 - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another good place to attack her is the not easily accessible office room on the ground floor, where you can find a laptop and a keycard (screen 1) - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another good place to attack her is the not easily accessible office room on the ground floor, where you can find a laptop and a keycard (screen 1). If you do not want to take the risk, I advise approaching one of samurai armors, put on samurai costume and start hiding. Wait until Layla stops at the laptop and then silently kill her (screen 2). After the successful action hide Layla's body in the crate.

Of course, you can murder Layla with a gun or another standard melee weapon, but I do not recommend this method, because you will trigger the alarm and reveal your position - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Of course, you can murder Layla with a gun or another standard melee weapon, but I do not recommend this method, because you will trigger the alarm and reveal your position. Theoretically, same as above, you can wait until Layla gets alone but then you do not need firearms.

If you have a passion for firearms and at the same time do not want to risk being exposed, I recommend obtaining a nipper rifle - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you have a passion for firearms and at the same time do not want to risk being exposed, I recommend obtaining a nipper rifle. You have to get to the Lenny's bedroom to pick up one. As for reminder, the bedroom is located on the penthouse floor and is guarded by at least two enemies. So I suggest eliminating these persons first or distract them, because even Blackwater tactical team members do not have an access to the bedroom.

Once you get inside, look around for Black Kazo TRG sniper rifle and place yourself at the open shutter shown on the above screen - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside, look around for Black Kazo TRG sniper rifle and place yourself at the open shutter shown on the above screen.

Wait until Layla appears on the outer balcony visible in the distance - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until Layla appears on the outer balcony visible in the distance. I do not advise eliminating her at once but wait until she gets to the edge. The advantage of such tactics is that Layla's body will fall down from the balcony and no one will find it.

The last group of methods to eliminate Layla involves explosives - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last group of methods to eliminate Layla involves explosives. First of all, you can use proximity mines which can be found in many places in the penthouse. Depending on your preferences you can take a mine with you and plant it in the proper place or activate one of mines in the place which Layla visits regularly, for example near the stairs, left from the starting point.

In addition to mines you can also use remote explosives (you should have them in your inventory when starting the mission) - Penthouse - Eliminating Layla in traditional way - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In addition to mines you can also use remote explosives (you should have them in your inventory when starting the mission). General scheme of behavior in this case is similar to using mines - plant explosives in the place, where Layla appears and detonate them from the safe distance.

General assumptions: Other methods of eliminating Layla involve arranged accidents. The advantage of such solutions is little chance to connect them with Hitman

During your stay in the penthouse you can arrange one of four accidents - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

During your stay in the penthouse you can arrange one of four accidents. First of them is to crush Layla with a whale skeleton. Start with getting to the room on the ground floor, where you can find a whale skeleton (screen above).

Wait until Layla appears in the area and interact with a factory model shown on the above screen in order to activate this mock-up - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until Layla appears in the area and interact with a factory model shown on the above screen in order to activate this mock-up. This action should attract local guards and Layla herself.

Now go up the left or right stairs in order to get to the upper balconies - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now go up the left or right stairs in order to get to the upper balconies. Wait until Layla walks under the whale skeleton and pull one of levers (screen above) to throw it down, thus killing her.

Another accident is connected to spiking Layla with a harpoon gun - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another accident is connected to spiking Layla with a harpoon gun. The weapon you're looking for is located in the same room as a whale skeleton (screen above). The beginning of actions is also the same, so you have to wait for Layla to show up here and activate the factory model (try to avoid her bodyguards in the meantime, hiding behind showcases or pillars for example).

Go to the harpoon gun, wait until Layla gets on the line of fire and shoot the harpoon gun (screen above) - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go to the harpoon gun, wait until Layla gets on the line of fire and shoot the harpoon gun (screen above). After the successful action quickly leave this place, because her death may alarm her bodyguards.

The third situation involves poisoning Layla's food and in this case you have to start with looking for the poison - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third situation involves poisoning Layla's food and in this case you have to start with looking for the poison. Go to the trophy room shown on the above screen, located on the penthouse floor (left from the Lenny's bedroom).

Once you get inside, start using the Instinct, because there are many laser traps inside - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside, start using the Instinct, because there are many laser traps inside. I suggest moving along the right wall and particularly watch out for the moving laser. Once you get to the other side of the room, take U'wa tribe poison and return to the exit. Note - if any of beams touches you, quickly exit the room, because someone will come here soon to check the situation.

Once you get the poison, return to the room on the ground floor (the one, in which you start the penthouse exploration) - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get the poison, return to the room on the ground floor (the one, in which you start the penthouse exploration). Locate sushi shown on the above screen and poison it (you do not have to hide in the meantime). Now you have to wait for Layla, who will taste the sushi and walk to the outer balcony. After few moments she will lose the balance and fall down (no one will notice that).

The last, fourth accident involves blowing up the fireplace - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The last, fourth accident involves blowing up the fireplace. First of all, you have to find a gasoline can. One of them can be found on the outer balcony, near the place where you started this stage.

Take the can and go to the other end of the penthouse - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Take the can and go to the other end of the penthouse. Now you have to locate a room shown on the above screen, with a fireplace.

Hide behind one of the couches and wait for Layla - Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Hide behind one of the couches and wait for Layla. Now throw the can to the fireplace (do not leave the cover). The explosion should kill Layla and since her dead will be noticed by near enemies, you should quickly leave this place.

General assumptions: Murdering Layla in a direct fight is a unique way to complete the main mission objective, connected to meeting Dexter's assistant face to face in her private panic room. It is noteworthy variant of behavior, especially that the duel takes place in the room where you end the mission.

In order to meet Layla you have to get to her private panic room, located in hardly accessible part of the penthouse - Penthouse - Defeating Layla in a melee fight - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to meet Layla you have to get to her private panic room, located in hardly accessible part of the penthouse. The fastest way to get there is the door in the room with the lift (screen above). You can unlock this door with a keycard (one of them can be found in Lenny's bedroom and another is in the room with a laptop) or wait until one of guards unlocks the door and sneak behind him.

You can approach a panic room also from the other side, crossing well guarded penthouse areas (a room with the whale skeleton among others) - Penthouse - Defeating Layla in a melee fight - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can approach a panic room also from the other side, crossing well guarded penthouse areas (a room with the whale skeleton among others). A room which is your target is shown on the above screen.

The entrance to the panic room is hidden in the wall but you do not have to look for it on your own - Penthouse - Defeating Layla in a melee fight - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The entrance to the panic room is hidden in the wall but you do not have to look for it on your own. Hide behind cover and wait until Layla comes here so you can locate the entrance without problems.

Enter the panic room, which will result in a cut-scene with Layla - Penthouse - Defeating Layla in a melee fight - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Enter the panic room, which will result in a cut-scene with Layla. Prepare yourself, because after a moment you'll have to quickly execute her (screen above).

General assumptions: Getting to the panic room in order to explore it is the last objective in the Penthouse stage. Locating the mentioned room is fortunately not too complicated.

If you didn't eliminate Layla in a direct duel, then you have to locate the panic room on your own - Penthouse - Exploring the panic room - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you didn't eliminate Layla in a direct duel, then you have to locate the panic room on your own. The room you're looking for is located in hardly accessible part of the penthouse. The fastest way to get there is the door in the room with the lift (screen above). You can unlock this door with a keycard (one of them can be found in Lenny's bedroom and another is in the room with a laptop) or wait until one of guards unlocks the door and sneak behind him.

You can approach a panic room also from the other side, crossing well guarded penthouse areas (a room with the whale skeleton among others) - Penthouse - Exploring the panic room - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can approach a panic room also from the other side, crossing well guarded penthouse areas (a room with the whale skeleton among others). A room which is your target is shown on the above screen.

Start exploring the room - Penthouse - Exploring the panic room - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Start exploring the room. The entrance to the panic room is hidden in one of the walls (screen above).

Now you can start exploring the panic room - Penthouse - Exploring the panic room - 18: Blackwater Park - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you can start exploring the panic room. The only interesting item is a phone lying on the bed, shown on the above screen. Once you interact with it, the mission will be over.

General objectives of the stage: Blackwater Roof is the only stage of the relative short mission titled Countdown, where Agent 47 must race against time. The plan is to stop Blake Dexter before he detonates charges on the rooftop and flies away with helicopter. The first step is to get to the upper part of the rooftop, with main enemy forces.

Note - Before you start reading the walkthrough, you have to know two things about this mission:

  • You have 5 minutes to reach the Dexter's heliport and the counter appears on the screen after several seconds. If you do not make it on time, Dexter will detonate charges on the rooftop, killing Hitman.
  • Dexter can also detonate charges if you trigger an alarm. So you have to remain hidden, although you can still distract enemies (alarm status - yellow).

Your first step should be obtaining Blackwater tactical team disguise, because skillful usage of the Instinct is a key to success in this mission - Blackwater Roof - Getting to the main roof - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your first step should be obtaining Blackwater tactical team disguise, because skillful usage of the Instinct is a key to success in this mission. If you play on one of lower difficulty levels then it would be best to attack the enemy shown on the above screen.

If you play on one of higher difficulty settings then first deal with the enemy who stops on the left (screen above) and only after that eliminate the previously mentioned opponent (I suggest eliminating as many enemies as you can to charge you Instinct bar) - Blackwater Roof - Getting to the main roof - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you play on one of higher difficulty settings then first deal with the enemy who stops on the left (screen above) and only after that eliminate the previously mentioned opponent (I suggest eliminating as many enemies as you can to charge you Instinct bar).

Now you have to decide how you want to bypass the enemy guarding the right stairs, leading to the upper roof - Blackwater Roof - Getting to the main roof - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Now you have to decide how you want to bypass the enemy guarding the right stairs, leading to the upper roof. On Normal and Hard difficulty levels it would be best to use the Instinct and walk past him (screen above).

On Expert and Purist difficulty levels I would suggest other tactics - Blackwater Roof - Getting to the main roof - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

On Expert and Purist difficulty levels I would suggest other tactics. First method is to get to the other side of the rooftop and find a hammer (screen above), so you can throw it and distract the guard. The second option is to carefully sneak past the enemy guarding the stairs.

General objectives of the stage: Dexter is on the heliport and you can get there in several different ways. New enemies will try to stop you of course plus you have to watch out for the minefield.

Once you get to the upper rooftop, spend some time to get to know the current situation - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to the upper rooftop, spend some time to get to know the current situation. Some enemies are patrolling the roof and other stand still in one place. Focus on the latter because you can easily bypass or kill them. Especially you should get interested in two guards stopping at the roof edge on the right. You can easily push them out of the roof, gaining additional Instinct.

While crossing the roof use the advantage of the limited visibility of your enemies - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

While crossing the roof use the advantage of the limited visibility of your enemies. If you're using Blackwater tactical team disguise then you might hide at the proximity mines along your way, waiting until local enemies walk away.

There are several ways leading to the heliport - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are several ways leading to the heliport. The first possible way is a minefield shown on the above screen. I recommend going there only if you play on one of lower difficulty settings, because on higher levels this path is guarded by an additional person, which can be bypassed with Instinct or a throwable object.

When crossing the minefield I advise using your entire Instinct, because actually it is only useful here - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When crossing the minefield I advise using your entire Instinct, because actually it is only useful here. Mines' locations are shown on the above screen.

After crossing the minefield you can head to the stairs (screen above) or choose a right ventilation shaft (description of the room, where the shaft is leading to, can be found later in the guide) - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After crossing the minefield you can head to the stairs (screen above) or choose a right ventilation shaft (description of the room, where the shaft is leading to, can be found later in the guide).

Once you get to the top of the roof, turn left and jump over crates shown on the above screen - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get to the top of the roof, turn left and jump over crates shown on the above screen. Move to the edge, climb down and start moving to the left.

When you bypass all mines, climb up - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When you bypass all mines, climb up. Go straight and when you get to the place shown on the above screen grab the upper edge in order to get to the heliport.

Another way to get to the heliport is using the door, which is not good visible - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another way to get to the heliport is using the door, which is not good visible. It is located in the place shown on the above screen, right from the first minefield. This door should be guarded by at least two persons regardless of the difficulty settings, so it is important to have enough Instinct to bypass them.

Once you get inside a small room, look around for a keycard (screen above) - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you get inside a small room, look around for a keycard (screen above).

When you get the keycard, you can return to the previous roof and use the keycard to unlock the door shown on the above screen - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When you get the keycard, you can return to the previous roof and use the keycard to unlock the door shown on the above screen. On Expert and Purist difficulty levels this passage is guarded by an additional person so distract the opponent or use Instinct again. In the newly unlocked area look around for evidence.

Return to the room, where you've found a keycard - Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the room, where you've found a keycard. Depending on your preferences you can go here to the left ventilation shaft (screen 1 - it leads to the first minefield) or go to the right door (screen 2), destroying the lock with a gun.

If you have unlocked the mentioned right door, climb up the ladder shown on the above screen.

General objectives of the stage: Elimination of Dexter, depending on your previous actions, can run smoothly or can require a much of reflex.

Regardless of previously chosen path, you'll find yourself on the heliport, where you can find Blake Dexter and Victoria being kept by him - Blackwater Roof - Eliminating Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of previously chosen path, you'll find yourself on the heliport, where you can find Blake Dexter and Victoria being kept by him. The situation can take two courses here. If Dexter has noticed you, you have to quickly shoot him.

A much better idea is approaching Dexter without alerting him - Blackwater Roof - Eliminating Dexter - 19: Countdown - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A much better idea is approaching Dexter without alerting him. In such case you can defeat him in a melee fight, shoot him or use a garrote to kill him (screen above). Killing Dexter results in completing the nineteenth game mission and advancing to the final task.

General objectives of the stage: Cemetery Entrance is the first of three stages of the last, twentieth game mission. The main objective of this stage is getting to the other side of the cemetery and it can be done by skillfully sneaking or by clearing your path with a sniper rifle.

You start the mission in a place shown on the above screen and this is a perfect spot for a sniper - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start the mission in a place shown on the above screen and this is a perfect spot for a sniper. What's interesting, you do not have look for a rifle, because you do have a Kazo TRG sniper rifle with silencer.

The exit from the cemetery is located on its other side and one of ways to make your way there easier, is using a sniper rifle - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The exit from the cemetery is located on its other side and one of ways to make your way there easier, is using a sniper rifle. If you decide to do it, then focus on eliminating more distant and singe targets, reducing the risk of alerting enemies. Try not to risk too much because if Agency members will witness the sniper in the area they can call for reinforcements and things will get more complicated. In short - try to use all 10 rounds without alerting enemies.

Regardless of whether you've used a sniper rifle or not, turn around and enter the tomb - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of whether you've used a sniper rifle or not, turn around and enter the tomb. This place is regularly visited by a single enemy on all difficulty settings. So you can try to sneak past this guard or eliminate him to obtain Agency grunt disguise. I recommend of course the latter. It would be best to hide in the place shown on the above screen, throw a vase and wait for the soldier.

You can leave the tomb in two ways - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You can leave the tomb in two ways. If you've eliminated the soldier mentioned above, then you may use the main entrance. Otherwise it would be better to exit through the side shutter shown on the above screen. In both cases it would be worth to pick up Agency SPS12 shotgun.

When crossing the cemetery I strongly advise hiding behind tombstones, even if you're using disguise, because you would need Instinct at the end of the stage - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

When crossing the cemetery I strongly advise hiding behind tombstones, even if you're using disguise, because you would need Instinct at the end of the stage. Carefully observe enemies' actions, watching out for guards standing in not good visible places and avoiding larger groups of enemies patrolling the cemetery (one or two, depending on difficulty settings).

1 - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The cemetery exit gate can be reached in several ways - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The cemetery exit gate can be reached in several ways. More obvious variants are choosing left (screen 1) or right (screen 2) path. In both cases you'll encounter almost same amount of enemies, but if you've previously cleared the area using the sniper rifle, then you should consider this fact.

Less obvious variant is choosing the central path - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Less obvious variant is choosing the central path. You would have to watch out even more, trying to avoid enemies (you can be spotted from several different sides), but on the other hand you could obtain evidence shown on the above screen.

Your current target is shown on the above screen and even on lower difficulty levels you have to expect here at least two guards - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Your current target is shown on the above screen and even on lower difficulty levels you have to expect here at least two guards. I suggest using Instinct or try to distract opponents with throwing objects.

Go to the cemetery gate and notice that Agent 47 has to interact with it in order to unlock it - Cemetery Entrance - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Go to the cemetery gate and notice that Agent 47 has to interact with it in order to unlock it. It will take several seconds, so before doing it make sure, that no one is watching you right now.

General objectives of the stage: Burnwood Family Tomb is the second stage of the Absolution mission. It is the largest and most complex location of all three available in this mission. What's more, on higher difficulty levels it is strongly occupied by enemy forces. As usual, before taking any actions, it would be good to carefully get to know the area.

Follow the narrow path - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Follow the narrow path. If you're playing on Expert or Purist difficulty level, you have to be careful from the beginning, because you'll encounter the Agency heavy trooper at the place shown on the above screen. It would be good to eliminate him, thus obtaining Agency heavy trooper disguise.

If you turn left after reaching the first crossing, you'll get to the largest area in this location (screen above), where you can find Jade - your current target - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you turn left after reaching the first crossing, you'll get to the largest area in this location (screen above), where you can find Jade - your current target. Obviously, the area is full of Agency soldiers.

If you want to explore this area more carefully, I suggest jumping between pillars (screen above) and use throwable objects when needed, to distract enemies - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you want to explore this area more carefully, I suggest jumping between pillars (screen above) and use throwable objects when needed, to distract enemies.

Most precious items can be found near the pillars located on the left - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Most precious items can be found near the pillars located on the left. You can find there a proximity mine and remote explosives (in the place shown on the above screen).

If you go straight on the previously mentioned crossing, after few moments you'll reach a clearing shown on the above screen - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you go straight on the previously mentioned crossing, after few moments you'll reach a clearing shown on the above screen. Depending on the difficulty settings, you'll encounter here between two and for heavy troopers. Depending on your preferences you can sneak past them or start eliminating them. In the latter case I suggest waiting until they split up and/or use throwable objects to lure them in more secluded places.

The area with tombs, located on the right, is patrolled by a single grunt, regardless of the difficulty settings - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The area with tombs, located on the right, is patrolled by a single grunt, regardless of the difficulty settings. It would be good to eliminate him, especially if you want to murder Jade in a special way. Bodies can be hidden in tombs (in one tomb you can hide two bodies).

A central area where Jade is stationing can be reached by two narrow tunnels (one is shown on the above screen) - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A central area where Jade is stationing can be reached by two narrow tunnels (one is shown on the above screen). So you should use one of these, if you want to safely approach your target.

If you stay on the main path patrolled by previously mentioned Agency heavy troopers, you'll reach the stairs shown on the above screen - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

If you stay on the main path patrolled by previously mentioned Agency heavy troopers, you'll reach the stairs shown on the above screen. Depending on the difficulty settings you'll have to avoid here up to three enemies. As usual, the best method is to distract them with throwable objects.

Using the path described above will not only get you closer to the central area of the cemetery, but also allows you to reach the ready-to-wear Agency technician disguise - Burnwood Family Tomb - Exploring the tomb area - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Using the path described above will not only get you closer to the central area of the cemetery, but also allows you to reach the ready-to-wear Agency technician disguise. This costume will allow you to freely explore the map and you will have to avoid only another technician in this area (he mostly stands next to the fresh grave).

General assumptions: After you get familiar with the location, you can start completing the objective - eliminate Jade. This task is very similar to murders from previous missions, so you have a lot of freedom in topic of methods of exterminating Benjamin Travis's assistant.

One of least original ways to eliminate Jade is shooting her - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

One of least original ways to eliminate Jade is shooting her. In this case I recommend using the sniper rifle, because if you use a gun, your actions might alert nearby enemies.

Another possibility is murdering Jade after approaching her - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another possibility is murdering Jade after approaching her. In this case it would be good to wait until woman starts walking over the area and attack her once she gets to some secluded place. Depending on preferences you can break her neck or use a melee weapon.

Quite aggressive way to complete current objective is using explosives - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Quite aggressive way to complete current objective is using explosives. In order to do this, you have to obtain previously mentioned remote explosives or a proximity mine. Try to plant them in such place, that it will kill the least people possible (preferably Jade only).

Two other methods are related to elimination of Jade in arranged accidents and these are the most interesting, because they are characterized with the lowest risk of being detected - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Two other methods are related to elimination of Jade in arranged accidents and these are the most interesting, because they are characterized with the lowest risk of being detected. The first possible accident to be arranged is to crush Jade with rocks in an unstable tunnel. In this case start with picking up one of gasoline can, for example the one left one the clearing with heavy troopers (screen above).

Once you gave the can, place it in one of two unstable tunnels, for example the left one, shown on the above screen - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you gave the can, place it in one of two unstable tunnels, for example the left one, shown on the above screen.

Wait until Jade enters the tunnel and then shoot twice the can - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until Jade enters the tunnel and then shoot twice the can. It will explode making the tunnel to collapse (screen above).

The second arranged accident is related to crushing Jade with heavy cargo - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second arranged accident is related to crushing Jade with heavy cargo. The first step to complete this plan is obtaining Agency technician disguise. I do not advise attacking a technician in this location - instead of that you should look around for the ready-to-wear costume. As for reminder, it can be found in the upper part of the map, in the place shown on the above screen.

Once you put on the technician disguise, find Jade, approach her and wait until you get to the dug out grave - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you put on the technician disguise, find Jade, approach her and wait until you get to the dug out grave. In the meantime you have to avoid another technician of course, because he is the only one who can recognize you.

Wait until Jade stops under the crane and press the button shown on the above screen, thus crushing her with a heavy cargo - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait until Jade stops under the crane and press the button shown on the above screen, thus crushing her with a heavy cargo.

Regardless of the way you've eliminated Jade, you can complete some optional actions before leaving this location - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Regardless of the way you've eliminated Jade, you can complete some optional actions before leaving this location. I recommend picking up remote explosives or a proximity mine and look around for evidence shown on the above screen, located near the dug out grave. This secret can be easily obtained when using Agency technician disguise.

A passage leading to the crematorium is located at the very end of the path, on which you've started this stage - right from the clearing with heavy troopers - Burnwood Family Tomb - Eliminating Jade - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A passage leading to the crematorium is located at the very end of the path, on which you've started this stage - right from the clearing with heavy troopers. Also here you have to wait, until Hitman unlocks the passage, so make sure that no one can see your actions.

General objectives of the stage: The Crematorium is the last stage of the game. Its main objective is elimination of three praetorians in the cemetery. This is not easy task, because they have more subtle senses than standard enemies.

Praetorians which you have to eliminate are Jack Aegis, Carey Scutum and John Hoplon - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Praetorians which you have to eliminate are Jack Aegis, Carey Scutum and John Hoplon. By default these characters are patrolling upper part of the cemetery, so first you have to get close to them. During exploration of this location watch out for many laser traps connected to explosives. I do not advise to hurry and always check paths you choose, because some traps are good camouflaged.

In order to approach Praetorians you have to climb up one of interactive edges, because main stairs are mined - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

In order to approach Praetorians you have to climb up one of interactive edges, because main stairs are mined. Watch out, because you can be easily spotted. What's more, on higher difficulty levels praetorians can hear you running from a very long distance, so you have to be much more effective in staying hidden than usual.

After reaching the upper part of the cemetery you can start your proper actions - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

After reaching the upper part of the cemetery you can start your proper actions. If you do not have anything against aggressive solutions, I recommend using firearms. You should know however, that praetorians are more resistant and can effectively track Hitman. So try to eliminate them as fast as possible, using point shooting mode if possible.

1 - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another aggressive variant is using explosives - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Another aggressive variant is using explosives. First of all you can use remote explosives or a proximity mine (screen 1) from the previous stage. If you do not have any of such objects you can try to shoot explosives connected to laser traps (screen 2).

Personally I suggest dealing quietly with three elite Agency soldiers - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Personally I suggest dealing quietly with three elite Agency soldiers. Every time it is best to start with throwing any object found in the area, staying behind cover all the time.

Wait for the enemy, make sure that he isn't observed by anyone and kill him with Silverballer or murder with garrote - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Wait for the enemy, make sure that he isn't observed by anyone and kill him with Silverballer or murder with garrote. It would be god to hide bodies of each murdered praetorian, using nearby crypts.

I suggest starting exploring the area only after eliminating all three praetorians - The Crematorium - 20: Absolution - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

I suggest starting exploring the area only after eliminating all three praetorians. Near the stairs leading to the crematorium you should find evidence shown on the above screen.

You should of course consider using Agency's soldier disguise so you can move more freely and rely on instinct when needed.

My last hint is to allow enemy soldiers to assassinate civilians in Parking and Reception stages, because otherwise you may be spotted by the people you've rescued.

Suit only

General objectives: You can't use any costumes and in order to fully complete this challenge you must achieve this is all three stages of the fourteenth mission. I recommend making an attempt of completing this challenge while playing on lower difficulty levels, because it'll be hard to remain unseen without a disguise, especially while playing the Reception stage.

The first civilian can be found soon after leaving the parking lot in the Parking stage - 14: Attack of the Saints - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Remember that you must remain unseen for the entire course of this challenge.

A Calm Before the Storm

This is one of the hardest challenges available in the game - 14: Attack of the Saints - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This is one of the hardest challenges available in the game. Here are its main principals:

  • You must complete the entire fourteenth mission of the game (all three stages) without any retries and without using checkpoints.
  • You must kill all enemy units you encounter - all seven nuns and all Agency's soldiers.
  • You can't be seen by anyone and you can't let anyone to discover a body of a person you've killed.
  • You can't use firearms and explosives. Only standard takedowns and melee weapons are allowed.

Here are a few hints on completing the challenge:

  • I strongly recommend playing on the normal difficulty level, because it'll be easier for you to remain undetected and you'll be dealing with less enemies.
  • Notice that the game doesn't prevent you from using disguises and instinct. As a result it's almost mandatory to obtain the Agency's soldier costume.
  • It's a good idea to allow Agency's soldiers to kill innocent civilians in the Parking and Reception stages, because otherwise you may be spotted by the people you've rescued.
  • The best weapon to kill enemies with is the fiber wire (screen above), especially since knives and other sharp weapons leave pools of blood behind.
  • You'll probably have a lot of problems with larger groups of enemy units. Don't forget that you can distract the guards using throwable objects and car alarms. Eliminate enemies one by one when they're separated from the rest.
  • Don't forget about hiding bodies of the people you've killed in crates and lockers or at least about dragging them away from the patrolled areas.
  • Make sure that you've cleared a map before proceeding to the next stage and that all enemies have been killed and not only stunned.

Angel of Death - Part 3

General objectives: You must kill a total of seven nuns. This is a very easy challenge, especially since the game allows to repeatedly kill the same targets. You can use this to your advantage by killing the same nun and going back to the last checkpoint after each successful assassination.

This is very difficult challenge and it would be best to complete it on Normal difficulty level - 18: Blackwater Park - p. 3 - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This is very difficult challenge and it would be best to complete it on Normal difficulty level. As for reminder, the only place where you can obtain plumber disguise is the parking lot next to the side entrance to the building (Blackwater Park stage).

After putting on the samurai costume look for a single enemy and kill him with katana - 18: Blackwater Park - p. 3 - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This challenge is of course associated with previously two, but requires some preparations - 18: Blackwater Park - p. 3 - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This challenge is of course associated with previously two, but requires some preparations. It would be best to wait for Layla in the office room shown on the above screen. She comes there from time to time to use a laptop.

Make sure that you're using the rack, so no one will recognize you - 18: Blackwater Park - p. 3 - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Make sure that you're using the rack, so no one will recognize you. Wait, until Layla sends away her bodyguards away and comes to the laptop. Only then attack her.

Chameleon

General assumptions: You must use disguise available in the nineteenth game mission.

Tactical team disguise is the only costume available in the nineteenth mission and actually you can't avoid using it, because this disguise makes getting to the heliport easier - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Tactical team disguise is the only costume available in the nineteenth mission and actually you can't avoid using it, because this disguise makes getting to the heliport easier. It would be best to get it by attacking one of characters near the starting place.

Evidence Collector

General assumptions: You must find evidence.

The only evidence available in the nineteenth game mission is located in the locked room on the higher roof - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The only evidence available in the nineteenth game mission is located in the locked room on the higher roof. You can unlock the door with a keycard (the one from the corridor under the heliport).

Infiltrator

General assumptions: You can't be spotted. You shouldn't have problems with completing this challenge and using disguise will make avoiding enemies much simpler.

Suit Only

General assumptions: You can't use disguises. This is very difficult challenge and I suggest completing it on Normal difficulty level. Carefully kill enemies blocking you access to the next areas on the map and use throwable items to distract them. Make sure that no one can spot Hitman and trigger the alarm. I also recommend walking through the minefield, because this area is guarded only by one person.

All Roads Lead to Dexter

General assumptions: You must use all three paths leading to Dexter.

Note - this challenge is incorrectly counted in not patched version of the game (specifically while bypassing the second minefield near the heliport).

The first path leading to Dexter is a minefield - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first path leading to Dexter is a minefield.

The second path is the ventilation shaft and you can cross it from the minefield side or from the corridor under the heliport - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third possible path is the door located right from the first minefield.

Stay on Target

General assumptions: Murder Dexter in less than 3 minutes. I suggest choosing one of lower difficulty levels. After getting to the upper roof you should take the right door (the one leading to the corridor with a keycard). Destroy the lock and use the ladder.

Hazardous

General assumptions: Eliminate two guards in an arranged accident associated with a cargo pallet suspended on the chain.

This challenge can be completed at the beginning of the mission - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the rooftop and start eliminating enemies - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Return to the rooftop and start eliminating enemies. Depending on your preferences you can get close to them or throw the axe (screen above). The most important thing is to remain unspotted so use covers skillfully and choose single targets for killing.

It's Personal

General assumptions: Kill Blake Dexter with garrote.

This challenge is very easy - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This challenge is very easy. After getting to the heliport prepare the garrote and surprise Dexter from behind while remaining hidden. Your target won't be able to defend himself against the attack.

Face to Face

Also and this challenge is not particularly difficult, although you have to dump all six bodies in one row, without reloading the last checkpoint - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Also and this challenge is not particularly difficult, although you have to dump all six bodies in one row, without reloading the last checkpoint. Depending on your preferences you can push enemies standing near the edges (screen above) or transport bodies of murdered enemies and throw them down from the roof.

Completing this challenge might be a bit difficult, because you have a time limit for this - 19: Countdown - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Completing this challenge might be a bit difficult, because you have a time limit for this. I suggest using a gun or kill enemies with garrote (remember that such attacks are very silent).

General assumptions: You must use all three disguises available in the twentieth game mission.

Agency grunt disguise can be obtained in the Cemetery Entrance and Burnwood Family Tomb stages - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Agency grunt disguise can be obtained in the Cemetery Entrance and Burnwood Family Tomb stages. It would be best to attack a person who appears in the tomb at the very beginning of the mission.

Agency technician disguise can be obtained only in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Agency technician disguise can be obtained only in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. I do not recommend stunning the technician who stays close to Jade but look around for the ready-to-wear costume.

Agency heavy trooper disguise can be obtained only in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Agency heavy trooper disguise can be obtained only in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. I suggest attacking one of single soldiers wandering in the area.

Evidence Collector

General assumptions: You must find three evidences.

The first evidence can be collected in the Cemetery Entrance stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The first evidence can be collected in the Cemetery Entrance stage. It is located near the main path leading to the cemetery gate (a passage to the next location). It is best to use the Agency grunt disguise and Instinct because the area is patrolled by hostile units.

The second secret can be obtained in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The second secret can be obtained in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. You can find it near the dug out grave, next to which Jade stands. It is best to get it while using technician disguise.

The third evidence can be obtained in the Crematorium stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The third evidence can be obtained in the Crematorium stage. The secret is located near the stairs leading to the crematorium building and I suggest collecting it only after dealing with praetorians.

Infiltrator

General assumptions: You can't be spotted. In order to complete this challenge in 100% you have to do this in each of three stages of the twentieth mission. The most difficult will be probably the last stage - The Crematorium. If you do not want to risk, I suggest eliminating praetorians with surprise headshots.

Suit Only

General assumptions: You can't use disguises. In order to complete this challenge in 100% you have to do this in each of three stages of the twentieth mission. This is difficult challenge, because even on lower difficulty settings you'll encounter many enemies in Cemetery Entrance and Burnwood Family Tomb stages. So I suggest using available guns or at least throwable objects.

This challenge consists of several parts completed in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Once you put on the clothes, wait until Jade comes to the above mentioned clearing. Kill her (for example with garrote) and quickly hide her body in one of crypts.

General assumptions: Murder Jade in an arranged accident using the crane.

This challenge is completed in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage - 20: Absolution - Challenges - Hitman: Absolution - Game Guide and Walkthrough

This challenge is completed in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. Start with getting Agency technician disguise (the best is ready-to-wear-costume). Find Jade and let her walk you to the dug out grave (in the meantime try to avoid another technician).
