Elusive Target #13: The ASCENSIONIST (Year 3 : 8 - 18 September 2023)

welp they dont call her the ascensionist for nothing. this et is fun. i have a consistent route to get her to carls balcony the only difficult part is the gun lure and not fucking up at the end like i have already done once.

I feel I was very lucky, but I got her!
Lucky in that I didn’t kill the guard that was beside her.

Summary

Suit Only. I had one KO, I used a sedative syringe on the 1st janitor in the shortcut. I had a heck of a time tossing up a PT up to the scaffolding in the backstage area of the ‘Lucy’ exhibit. Then I tossed it again by the guard next to the elevator shaft. Then I tossed a micro-zapper (w/e)… Shortly after, she walked over and looked down the shaft. I held my breath for a couple of seconds and pulled the trigger. When I still had the green guns :raised_hands: I figured; “Okay, I’ll take it!” and proceeded to get back to an exit… Very carefully.

I had the thought of shooting her in the leg from the lower elevator shaft opening, but you can’t really see her legs. And I don’t think I could’ve maintained SA if I waited to pull her down (since there are at least 2 guards around there).

Then I thought I’d put a PT behind where she stands, and detonate it with the micro-electric thing, and watch her come down the shaft (Props to anyone that does this and gets a screenshot of it!). :joy: But I didn’t think I could get a disguise in time.

And the progress so far

Although it was somewhat easier than I thought, I really enjoyed this ET. The map changes were good and made it a bit more of a challenge.

Following on from some of my other videos, I eliminated her with the broadsword. Who doesn’t love pulling a 1m long sword out of a briefcase, before slicing your targets head.

i loved this elusive target, even managed to throw her off carls balcony without pacifying her. quality may be low for a bit but that will fix itself soon enough

Yeah this one was really good, a great target path with a roaming routine (few complications like enforcer and possible chance of fleeing) across a wide range of the map while mixing it up all the right areas to keep veteran players on their toes. Honestly this one feels like if there was another target it could of been a PZ style mission.

But H3 ETs have been great overall and hope they become permeant additions to the game.

Got a pretty lucky accidental gas explosion for this one, another SA for team no restarts :muscle:

Here’s my First Try No Restart Run of The Ascensionist. It unfortunatly turned bitter in the End.

Also, I’m going on a one-weekly Vacation tomorow, so forgive me the lack of a Thumbnail :sweat_smile:

Difficult, but ending kill was so satisfying to do. Biggest obstacles were her superenforcer status and her annoying client, who followed her like a dog (btw, does he have any unique reaction on seeing her dying? I’d imagine he have).

I would have liked to see how that works lol.

Me too. It was also what brought me out of concept. Problably would have shot her earlier and got away mostly unseen if that didn’t happend :skull:

I actually really enjoyed this et she was quite fun to play about with I ended up just blowing her up with the two gas lamps on the penthouse balcony and it made a cool kill I really hope io make these permanent at the end of next year or something bc I really like Et and it’s one of the only reasons I look forward to roadmaps

Also does anyone know if we’re getting et after 7DS?

While nothing has been confirmed, I would assume so.

H1 and H2 had new ETs being released right up until new content ceased altogether and they just started doing ET reactivations. Travis also mentioned in a recent stream there is plans for content in 2022, so I can’t see why they would change the pattern now.

Think there’s any chance they may actually give us ETs in Mumbai, New York and Haven?

Anyway, I’ll be trying this ET in a few hours.

From what I was able to grasp from a bit of her dialog there, she basically impersonates various people when she speaks to others, and in doing so is playing multiple people at once. You can discover this as early as the bar area, where she puts on a southern accent for another lady. She tries to guilt and bully the reception with the “I’m famous and you’re going to look bad” routine, and it works.

I can confirm what others have confirmed by saying I got her to get into the penthouse without doing anything, as I killed her with one of those standing explosive lamps they added to the map in that area. Very risky by the way, you have to get her and make sure the person she’s escorting is just far enough to be knocked down. I shot from what I believe is the Sheik’s room (the room with the safe in the penthouse) and hightailed it outta there right after. Suit Only, and I brought in those unreloadable pistols that bypass frisks, though picking up any silenced weapon after the starting frisk zone through a drop off point works too.

I didn’t do anything fancy this time despite being in Dubai. Poisoned the target’s client as a chef and killed her while she was waiting for him.

I am not sure if this is just a really good ET, my obsession with Dubai or both but this has been the most fun I ever had in an ET. No rushing, on getting this over quickly, an actual internal desire to finish this, something I have not felt for some time. Maybe When T’sai or whatever he was called was really a bad ET after all, maybe WOA hasn’t truly gotten stale.

TL;DR: We need more Dubai ETs :stuck_out_tongue:.

Good points.

For once, I am not attempting a speedrun. I’m curious about her dialogue and the changes to Dubai. I’m not crazy about Dubai but it’s better than Mendoza :laughing:

FTR, I still think ETs are generally hyped beyond anything else in the world of Hitman. I’ll never understand the infatuation with them.

I feel so silly that I was looking all over the level for her :stuck_out_tongue: I didn’t know that she goes to the penthouse

What I did was run into the room to the left in the atrium to avoid getting frisked. I climbed up the elevator shaft, snuck out, subdued a guard, and grabbed his disguise. I then waited in the bathroom for the target to arrive. When she was in, I threw an emetic grenade. I hid behind the wall after I threw it so no one would spot me. Thankfully it only affected her. She went into the isolated bathroom to vomit. I used the lethal syringe on her. Thankfully no one came in the restroom.
