the best rating i've ever had on professional difficulty was professional and that was with out having any witnesses or killing anyone but the target and NO bodies were found it was a new life

sedate donuts take a suit take the tape enter house sedate the girl take her necklace walk up stairs put ether on panties (aquired from across street dont need garbadge suit if your dressed as fbi) wait for target to enter room pistol whip 2nd guard and drag him away and then poison teh target while hes in his chair and leave after regaining suit


(i figure if i can get 5x SA ranking on professional difficulty should be walk in park for normal and expert)

You sure you didn't poison the donuts by accident?

I could outline my strategy for you, but it involves pretty specific timing and no disguises. Your strategy sounds solid enough, but I can't explain why it didn't net you a Silent Assassin rank.

also does the achievment mean 5x assassin ranking on 5 diff levels or could i replay the same level 5 times ?

[Keyser Soze]

Sorry, can't help you with how the achievements work, I play on PC so they mean nothing to me. I would assume 5 different levels though.

[music is math]

It's 5 different levels. Just find some good walkthrough videos on Youtube if you're having trouble.

[Keyser Soze]

While the above post is certainly helpful, I would advise against following a video. It's easy to fall into the trap of using a walkthrough/video for help and playing the game someone elses way as a set of scripted movements. Your strategy is sound, keep trying and perfect it, you'll get it.

[Keyser Soze]

And I said it was a helpful post... Just warning him that it's very easy to just start blindly following others once you start.

Thought of another thing that can go wrong and ruin a Pro SA run. If you knock out the wife in the bathroom she'll see you in the mirror and count as a witness. It's better to lay wait in the sauna and grab her from behind as she walks through the dressig room. Depending on your timing, you can also hide in the room adjacent to the bathroom and get her as she walks out.

I didn't watch the let's play video. I'm trying to offer the original poster tips that may help him find out what went wrong with his strategy, not point him to someone elses strategy and say "do this". Hitman is about figuring out how to pull off the hit your way, not simply pulling it off.

Yes, it does happen in Hitman (Blood Money). If you take someone out in front of a mirror, and they see you in the mirror with a weapon/syringe, they will count as a witness. It happened to dark and myself countless times when we were working on our Suit Only/Accident Only Pro SA run. We finally changed it up to grabbing her as she exits the bathroom and whaddaya know, no more witness.

I have finish at profesional all BM mission whit silent assassin rank.here is how i finish a new life: Sedate donuts, enter and take videotape,then wait for the clown at his car.put him KO whit a gun(use human shield and then know him)take clothes,hide body and gun in his car.go searching for the woman,she will tell you to follow her.Do so, and wait for the moment to sedate her whit your last syringe.take necklenes and go for the 2 floor to kill Sinistra.it's a bit tricky here. There is a bodyguard that goes in the girl room for here underwear.Wiat for him and take him down the way you did whit the clown,take clothes and now sinistra will go in his room.but there is a nother bodyguard waiting for him outside the room.go inside and strangle sinistra,then take down the bodyguard waiting for him because after 4 minutes he goes to see what sinistra is doing.and you don't want to find his body(take down whit gun same way you did whit clown)leave the house,take you clothes back and leave the area

so i managed to get SA on

Vintage Year
Curtains Down
and You Better Watch Out

some how ended up with 22 witnesses on till death do us part and all i did was push 1 fatty into the grave and i poisned skinnies cake :/ and then i gave up and loaded rookie profile and rampaged... will i have to Re SA those levels + 2 more levels to get the achievment ?

[Cydonia]

also does the achievment mean 5x assassin ranking on 5 diff levels or could i replay the same level 5 times ?

You have to achieve a Silent Assassin ranking on five different maps, so you can't just redo the first mission five times over with a true ranking because it won't pop. Regarding your method of the level I don't understand why you need to use the Ether on the panties at all, if you time it right you can get into Vinnie's room without the guard noticing you and from there you can just time your exit so you don't get caught. You'll be in disguise too because you'll have an FBI suit from the donut hit.

Basically try not sedating the guard upstairs because he might be where you're going wrong.

[Splatulated]

i ether the panties so that guard doesnt catch me in the act of hostaging the other guard that follows vinnie and i hostage knock out him because if i get vinnie in his room a body is found + that guard follows vinnie so its ratehr difficult to poison him in his chair

Just try and be quick once you have killed Vinnie. I've never known the guards to come into Vinnie's room to check up on him and even if they do you can hide him in the corner where they won't see him because of the way that the wall 'curls' around.

[Keyser Soze]

His personal bodyguard goes in there to check up on him if he doesn't come out. Hiding him around the corner doesn't work either. I don't bother with the ether, I just knock him out while he sniffs the panties. Then I take out Vinnie and knock out his personal guard leaving them both in his office.

[Splatulated]

so i pistol whipped some one to knock em out and when i beat the level i lost rating due to "violence"

how am i supposed to sedate donuts the girl and that 1 guard ?

[Keyser Soze]

You're not...

Sedate the donuts, but human shield/pistol whip everyone else you need to take down.
