The Ghost That Killed Franz Fuchs


Mission Briefing:

Here's a fun one 47. Franz Fuchs world renowned terrorist is up to his old tricks again, slipping into attack locations under a fake name and taking obscenely long showers before the big event. This time he targets the Thermal Bath Hotel in Budapest where a very influential UN peace summit will be taking place. Our client wants you to eliminate Franz Fuchs and destroy his terrorist cell in the process. To do this, you are to confiscate the chemical bomb being used for this attack as well as intercept any correspondence between the man who helped set this up..his brother Fritz (who's covering as a Dentist). Be alert, members of the cell have accompanied Fuchs on this mission.

There is a bit of lore surrounding this Hotel 47. Restructured several times because of tragedy there is a known haunt over the hotel, rumored to be the "ghost" of a murdered guest from ages ago. We have rather solid information that this "ghost" from time to time is responsible for odd mishaps and deaths that take place at the Hotel. Most recently, it posessed a security guard and used him to murder an unruly, violent guest.. which is quite an unusual, but fascinating scenario. Our client would like you to work that in to his favor.

You are to assume the role of Ghost of the Thermal Bath Hotel 47. Eliminate Franz Fuchs while he showers before his attack, and let it be an utter mystery to his network on how he was killed. The popular theory is that the other members of his cell will ultimately turn on each other believeing Fuchs murder along with the confiscation of the bomb was an inside job.

Hotel security and law enforcement will chalk it up to the haunt over the hotel (encountering this unwanted guest in several instances themselves!), so it's the perfect cover. This "ghost" supposedly has a fixation with water too, so it's probably wise to eliminate Fritz Fuchs in similar fashion to his older brother.

Well, I'll leave that to you 47.

Good luck.

Objectives:

- Assume the role of the hotel ghost and eliminate Franz Fuchs

- Assume the role of the hotel ghost and eliminate Fritz Fuchs

- Intercept any correspondence between Franz and Fritz Fuchs

- Retrieve the chemical bomb to cement suspicion to all members in the terrorist cell that the Fuchs' death was an inside job

Note:

It is imperative to this mission that you leave Franz terrorist unit completely baffled on how he was killed, so you cannot be seen by OR subdue any of his henchmen in ANY way. If you do 47, they'll know that Franz was the subject of an assassination and regroup.

Mission fails when:

- Hotel security or anyone in Fuchs camp is alerted.

sorry, i still don't get it.

Oy vey..The main objective is to kill Franz without alerting the guard at the front door and the one in the room. You must kill Fuchs without subduing either.

A fun little challenge.

EDIT: Further, you must do this without being seen by either guard as well.

i can avoid the guard by the front door but it's hard to avoid the one that keeps walking from room to balcony.

As for the balcony guard, just crouch and move silently into the room and hide behind him next to the door, he should just walk out without seeing you.

So far so good. Now how did you get out of the room?

Same way. I just hid in the same spot and he pretty much went back to staring in the mirror, then just hop over the balcony again.

That, or you could try hiding on the opposite side of the room, like the other side of the doorway.

I'll try to sketch up a quick diagram to show you what I mean.

u might already know this but there is a ghost in the hotel.

just go to the murdur scene bathroom and look in the mirror.

if u turn round your aiming cursor should turn red,if u shoot it blood spats on the wall.

appaently u can strangel it with the fibre wire and drag it around but i dont know how

Here we go... I know it's kinda rough, but either spot on the picture should keep you hidden from the patrolling guard, not indefinetly, but enough to give you time to get out of sight.

That wasn't necessary, I already knew how to get out and there's two ways to do it from the balcony. Only asked to see if you did it either of those ways.

One little strange occurence with that area... Try stealing the guns, the one the guard carries and the one on the table. Take them out onto the balcony, lean up against the edge as much as you can with your gun-arm against it.

Drop the guns, to make them bounce off the edge and then off the balcony altogether.

See what happens when the guns hit the grass.

Interesting...

screenie pleaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it disappears? yea screen shot plz

So that's what happened to that guard I blasted over the edge with the spas

why do they disappear

Cuz the ground is basically just a map painting. They didn't add any texture to it if it wasn't going to have anything on it...but apparently many things CAN fly out and land on the ground below.

No no no... I've got a little experience with map-makers for games like Half-Life and Descent... I'm not familiar with any of the Hitman technology, but the grass in TotT would have to be considered a 'brush' for it to be solid.

Brush: Term for solid objects created in 3D views in map-makers, can be used to contruct any solid object imaginable.

I'm thinking that the developers didn't want to lag the mission by dropping in one massive brush and putting a grass texture. A way I'd do it is to create four tiny little brushes as points, stick them in the corners of the 'garden' area and spread a texture across them all.

I don't think there's a bottom underneath that grass, it'll just keep going.

Added this to my Custom Missions Guide thats the sticky...

-DogMa

SWEeT! wasn't expecting that.

Any and Every Custom Mission goes in there. It doesn't need to be super good or anything. But glad you find it good. In the future just send a PM to me when you want any other custom mission in there cuz I wont notice them myself all the time.



-DogMa

Now that's one nice idea for a custom mission. It's really funny how you justified the necessity of taking the Fuchs without touching the guards. Great job!
