How to accomplish A GILDED CAGE: FEATS: Slam Dunk?

I got a pool ball (with number 3) from a room where 2 gossip soldiers are, and I threw it through the basketball hoops(both of them) a couple of times, but the challenge wasn’t accomplished.

Is that because of the way I threw? I threw it on the board and used the bumping back to go through the hoop from above.

It looks like it’s gotta be nothing but net. Maybe it should have been called swish instead of slam dunk :joy:

Sorry I couldn’t access youtube since I’m in China. Could you please describe it in words? Thanks a lot~

Try to make the shot without using the backboard. It’s the hoop in the very far back alley and the pool ball with the 3 on it.

Patient Zero Bangkok has a “Slam Dunk” challenge… But it involves blasting Sister (whatsername) up onto the suspended tarp. Knowing that, I wasn’t aware that you’d have to (simply) toss a billiard ball into the hoop… and went about trying to make a contract where you had to blast soldiers up onto the net that is in that back area (where they go when dismissed)… Or something like that. And that turned into exploding a couple of the guys out front to land on the basketball goal/hoop, even blasting one guy so that he flies into a well.

A thing about the challenge in Marrakech, if any soldiers are next to the goal and you toss the ball into the net - they will jump a couple times with their hands in the air.

Thanks! I realized that I tried with the wrong hoops - it should be the one you pointed out, but I tried with the 2 in the front entrance.

Where’s the fortune teller?

I’m in Marrakesh, in the mission of A GILDED CAGE. I searched mainly in the shisha area (including the VIP area) but I found nothing. Where’s him and how does he look like?

Beginning at the default starting location, go forward towards the crowd, then go right through more of the crowd. When you come to an outside area (not very far) look to your left at a person sitting on the ground like he’s begging for money. Also, go ahead and toss or place some coins in that person’s plate and see what they do.

Edit: Be very observant of what’s around this person. He has his sign behind him.

I went to edit a post today. HMF said something along the lines of “this post has been edited by another user and you can’t edit it.”

Only the post didn’t appear to be changed by anyone and it was only a few seconds after I originally posted it. I was able to delete it though so I’m just totally confused. Anyone know what’s going on there?

I experienced this once or twice on the old forum.
I think relogin or reopren the browser fixed the thing.

Maybe this is some kind of spam protection delay.
I guess waiting a bit also could be a cure. Up to 30-60 seconds should be enough

That makes sense. Thank you. I nearly always post from my mobile phone and despite all my efforts there invariably are spelling and grammar errors in every one of my posts :joy:.

That’s a usual situation for me when I try to post from mobile.
I try to correct them while composing a message though.
But sometimes something going missing and I still need to edit the post :slight_smile:
So I know how it feels

What’s up with Hakan and golden helicopter? Does he owe one or is it a joke on how rich he became with Hitman series?

It’s known by now that he owns several golden helicopters along with many other extravagant and exotic things. You can find a lot of photos out there with him.

Not totally sure when, I’m pretty sure it originated in the previous forum version before December., around when the first screenshots of Dubai were released. Someone must have tied the Golden Heli to the Epic Deal,and the joke became: He uses Hitman money to buy a bunch of helicopters (one of the reasons why there’s so many in the game).

Then, it took off from there. Took off… like a helicopter. :wink: :man_facepalming:

And it’s been hovering around ever since :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yea the joke will likely just keep hovering around until it runs out of gas.

sorry for piling on the bad puns, but I wanted to give the hover one a “whirl”

I started this thing, when the Epic Deal was announced and everyone was angry i posted something like “Everyone is angry about the exclusivity, but I’m just happy that Hakan now can fly to work in a new helicopter”

From there it turned quickly into a golden Helicopter because thats just more ridiculous and nowadays he owns multiple ones.

I also know from a trusted source that he never could finish the Jungle Missions in Codename 47 and thats why he’ll never greenlight a Remaster.
