How many attempts do I get? :D


1. You can't save during elusive targets.
2. Once you've killed the target or completed an objective you can't restart unless you cheat by disconnecting your internet.
3. If you die or exit the level, that's it and you can't try it again.
4. You've only got like 10 days or so normally to make an attempt. It will advertise in game how long it goes on for.

I always bring along a lethal syringe to elusives, it's normally the best method.

Sounds fun

Miama down (posioned him with street food, got a doctor to kill her) 5* and Silent :datass:

Felt like an easier entry (and would at start of game) but nice to see I've improved :D

I think Miami may be my favourite level of the trilogy.

This new elusive target is easy. Granted, part of it is down to the location, but if you're not bothered about silent assassin... obviously spoiler box is spoilery.

It's easy but it was still really enjoyable.

Oh, yeah. Certainly. Since it's all about finding out the pattern of where the person will be, and twist with this one means you can't just follow the one person.

Silent Assassin on Colombia too. It's actually not that hard when you know the tricks. I'm worried I might not be the top tier playa I thought.

Not a great fan of Colombia though. Too large, but also quite empty with lots of no go areas/rocks etc. Didn't feel like the 3 targets (miles apart) interacted in any interesting ways and there were fewer moving parts. Shame after Miami seemed so well done.

There are quite a lot of cool tricks and assassinations to find in Colombia. It's definitely a level that rewards repeated exploration. I mean, they all do, but this one perhaps moreso.

How did you do them in?

First time - poisoned his Cocaine toy. D

The other two pushed a statue on them both.

Since then - Tattoo artist, push her off balcony after sending her lover letter, pushed into cocaine machine. I've still got the something about Shaman/Skeletons to do and Hippo (this looks more interesting)

What sort of hints/guidance do you have on, Hexx?

I play the game in drips and drabs, and tend to have mission stories off and challenges set to absolutely no description too. I'm thinking it might be worth turning them on for some of the levels I've already done though, as I'm finding it hard to find things on my own, especially for some of the more specific challenges.

I'll keep them off for the first time in a level though.

I think I have whatever the default is - although I turned it down a bit maybe?

Generally it's been a good mix of handholding to point you in right direction without tellling exactly how to achieve it. Colombia felt very much "go here, get item, go here, get item" for the first time

The Silent Assassin indicator you can put on the HUD (it's not by default) is useful.

Mumbi was strawberry floating awesome.

3 distinct targets with variety of ways in and to murder - but then you realise there's more to it. There's interlinkage. I don't think I came close to doing it all (including the hidden stories) and I've hit level 20

"Proper attempt - Silent Assassin"

Started with the guy in the tower. He was closest. Broke in through the outside construction zone and ascended going from disguise to disguise to penetrate ever deeper. I've no learned the amazing are of throwing hammers/crowbars etc for more silent takedowns than neck holds. 8-)
Minor panic when I had to push a body down a lift shaft to avoid being spotted - but apparently lift shafts have soft landings? Ok.
Here about an industrial fan that sounds...fun. So get set up to kill the douche with that. But the co-star won't leave the scene. Panic and still set the fan off. Off they go into the distance...and it's not an accidental kill...but also she's a valid target too? Seems a bit mean ICA...but Hexx's Hitman Guarantee of no unnecessary non target deaths continues :toot:

The Queen is next and I sneak into to measure her after hearing shouting from the tailors....to death. Pretty tame this one. Tricky as her slave girl won't leave the room. Manage to angle queenie to not look, toss a quick crow bar in the slaves face, then garotte the queen with the tape measure. Stuff them in a cupboard. Slave is fine. :shifty: It looks comfortable. And the Queen won't smell for a while.

Find another area of town lockdown, sneak in, bricks to some heads and manage to sneak past and get my thug disguise and then Elite Thug 8-)
Find target's lady love. Send the signal so he'll come talk. There's a glass of wine on the table. He'll probably drink that. Oh there's 2 glasses. Oh well better poison them both. (She'll be fine when she stops vomitting. HHG endures!). I think my favourite thing in Hitman is when you poison someone they IMMEDIATELY know where the nearest vomit receptacle is and beeline for it. Even funnier when there's two of them. One shove of a cliff later and I'm outta there


Later Rampage Attempts - They don't count so lets not talk scores

Hear about a suspicious guy on the roof...it's another Hitmans!
Oh well that's another way to kill the actor so off we trot. This time sneak in the front. Find the painter and in capitate him and the body guard. Pick up guards weapon to avoid cluttter. Forget to put away. Walk out into lobby and everyone sees painter with gun and goes ballistic. Opps


A few bloodbath's later and the sniper takes out the actor...and I find he's also hired the sniper.
Off we trot back to the sniper who's back to his own apartment. It looks like I can use him to snipe the Queen...but the laptop is right there. I bet he has the dongle :shifty:
...
He did! And she was paying him to assassinate the actor! DOUBLE CROSS.
Phone her to tell her the jobs done and she wants to pay me in Bitcoin. She has to die.
Pirate and her meet by an explosive barrel...but that feels so inelegant and not up to my standards. Oh look they're off to meet in a train yard.
I don't quite know how but diverting a training through her base taking out many many many guards (HHG is only for first real attempt :D) and the two of them counts as an accidental unnoticed kill? :slol: :slol:

Alternate timeline! Resist the dongle!
Queen gets sniped after a bit of a duller chain of costume change series. But now the assassin is off to the meet the pirate!
Now I'm off to meet the pirate!
Wait they want to frisk me. Excuse me gentlemen while I go round the corner. Please ignore the loud clanging of metal as I drop 28 guns/knives on the floor.
Kill pirate king in his base and saunter out. Him having told everyone I'm cool and in the gang :datass:
[/spoiler]

Used saves to get a few other kills but those 2 (or 3 if you count save scumming :D) journeys were the best.

Except NO ONE has a toiler! How are you suppose to drown someone!

if you knock someone out you can drag or push them into shallow water and theyll drown
although i dont think that triggers the 'challenge' which is annoying

What do you actually get in these Seasons / eg pride that’s just started?
