Swipe kill (I’ve unlocked it after taking him out countless times already).

SASO 2KO (you’ll see why): I took the cafe pass (to stall for time while waiting for the entertainer to be going upstairs just as the balcony guard starts looking at the horizon), blinded the waiter (Serpent’s Tongue since it lasts longer and it’s silent) and poisoned his drink.
Afterwards I went to take the truck keys (it’s on a plate near the bathroom of the outside cafe area), went into the cafe to sedate the agent with the tablet (I used the snail mine since it’s safe and fast, it also took out the guard near the cafe by accident), took the tablet and just waited for the target to drink so I could leave the mission.

So yeah this ET is easly as always as long as you know where to find him and the tablet (since both are stationary), tbh the hardest part was getting the tablet in H1 since sedatives ruined your SA but now that isn’t an issue anymore.
Did I mention this is the 4th time I’ve done this already (excluding ETA)? Funnily enough this is the first time I posion him though (and since I didn’t have the challenge unlocked this was the perfect opportunity to do it).

47 on his way to punch someones skull in batman style instead of a silent kill because they turned a single fucking degree too much: (I punched Giggles 4 times in a row and restarted like 10 times already)

Anyways SASO Fiberwire in around 2 minutes.

The Entertainer Year 3, an illustrated adventure.

That’s all.


(hyped for the new ET next month, but in general the ETs and its formula are getting stale and I hope there won’t be Year 4 challenges for us completionist, rerun would be fine though, full open availability for the sake of new players better)

Dumbest, cheapest, easiest way to deal with him that I’ve been using in the Arcade and since. Just climb up here right away from the start, wait for the conversation to end, do this, then take the waiter’s disguise and deal with the tablet lady in any way: banana, sedative poison, rat poison, simply lure her into the bathroom or the stock room.

Once I felt like changing my strategy so I went for disguises, turns out you run into enforcers or closed doors and weapon check, so you’re forced to use the pipe anyway :man_shrugging:

I tried something similar to what DJLMAN27 did, but instead of using a fiberwire I Siekered him. I also dropped a briefcase by the tranqed guard. I was going to use my 2nd kalmer dart on the lady, but I just couldn’t find any spot I felt safe using it. And she took me a while to get, so I had to go subdue and necksnap the target while he was still in the bathroom.

Getting him siekered in the stairwell was the only thing I felt was relatively dangerous. Maybe a lethal throw could’ve worked here too, but I didn’t want to risk his body being found.

His (or one of his) ET Arcade requirements is using an explosive. Maybe I could KO him with a breaching charge, then detonate it just before the exit after securing the list. :thinking:

Had fun doing him saso, only 1 KO and used only the coins from my loadout (the coin is so powerful it’s insane).

Well, the French Businessman did survive, unlike Mr. Giggles. Still my favorite kill method for him, despite being so simple.

Super easy method. If you wait around the corner on the ledge & wait for the waiter to leave his seating position, while Mr Giggles is up on the higher part of the roof, you can easily poison the drink unseen/undetected without a Huh? What? Hmmm! :ok_hand: Banana peel used to complete the 2nd objective with No KO & No Subdue/Pacification :ok_hand:

Done. Usually with this guy I just give him lethal poison, or I give him an emetic, follow him to the bathroom, and then use a bladed weapon like a knife or axe to match what he does to animals, but when I decide to do an accident kill that doesn’t involve drowning, it’s so hard to do in accordance with the HPP. Because I have 2 NPCs that need to leave the area, and I have to get the tablet without doing a regular KO (must be a sedative or a banana peel), I’m always having to bring an item in the ICA pickup. Thats fine on its own, but I wish they had put a hidden stash location for Marrakesh at night, because I don’t like walking around with the military-style briefcase, and I don’t like taking the public exists with a briefcase because they disappear from 47’s hand in the exit animation, but whatevs, I guess. Got it done, kicked him off the building, terrible accident, poor assistant passed out after having an allergic reaction to to some gum she found in the ground and sadly misplaced her work tablet.

Not a big fan of this one.

As if one start and one stash because of being based on “A house built on sand” wasn’t bad enough. The target’s area is quite cramped and very limited in what you can do. Basically only two ways to infiltrate – via that awkward set of pipes and ledges that take like a minute to get there, or through the front door – but you need a waiter disguise, a key from the shopkeeper and no weapons in your inventory because of the frisk. Very limiting.

Here’s my silly way to tackle this mission that I came up with like a year ago when I first played it. Can be done with no loadout, very easy to do (if you can’t get that throw off correctly, just wait for the conversation between Giggles and the other guy to end), gives you a waiter disguise with a key for easy cafe infiltration. Obviously, from here on it’s an emetic or sedative poison on the girl and the mission is over.

Granted, this ET was a product of its time, and limiting your approaches was kind of a part of ET formula to make them as challenging as possible, but yeah, I feel this is quite dated when compared to H2/H3 targets.

Not liking how long this one usually takes, I went in with a plan.

:red_duck:
:baggage_claim: with :face_vomiting: device
Dropped duck outside the carpet shop, detonated to put under lockdown.

Made it to the cafe before he got there, showed invite, waited with briefcase ready.

When he was starting to return I gassed him, then went into the bathroom. Guess who’s right outside? Why it’s the ledger gal. I tossed the briefcase in, Giggles came in to puke, she goes in to investigate the sound. I KO her, then drown him. He died, I got the ledger and hid her body.

I was extremely pleased with this one! :joy: Exited in 2:50, SA.
