Came in with the Straightjacket suit and strap that’s an accessory for it. I didn’t want to just guess, I wanted to find out for myself (for the immersion!). So, the only other thing I brought was a lockpick. I snuck into the guard’s room, picked the cabinet, and got the key-card scrambler. Then went to Agent Smith to get the master key. Got the guard disguise of the guy by the video recorder. Then went to the head Dr’s office, and found out it was the rhinoplasty patient. I found him (He was outside by the ledge, very tempting for a push/accident kill, but felt it was too risky for getting spotted) and then did the weapon lure just for the heck of it (and I had done this yesterday, found the target, but it felt too easy). Then thought, maybe I’ll drown him, but ended up garroting him with the strap. SA, over 9 minutes. 🍷 ---

The way I did the ET was that I started in the Morgue to get that Master chip, knocked out a guard to get his disguise and wiped the cameras. Went up to the surgery to get intel on who the target was, encountered him walking away from the balcony, so followed him around until he went up to the balcony again. Distracted him to the side, knocked him out and dumped over the edge. ---

I… I don’t even know what to say about this ET. Yesterday I fired up my console, just to take care of this target. Everything is fine and dandy, until I realised that: 1. Diana’s intro was missing 2. My target was spawned god knows where, because on my first run there was no npc with bandage on their face, besides Portman. 3. because of the reason above, I restarted the whole thing and I kid you not: Diana’s intro was still missing, there was an npc in white robe with a bandage on his nose, and only him besides portman. (as in npc with bandages) In short, I was missing two npc, that supposed to make things difficult. I used the poison dart gun and drowned him. 0/10 ---

> [@Heisenberg](#): > > does it have the original bio, or the edited one? I didn´t even realize this was a thing until I played it today.

I think because the original bio strongly implied that the Target is North Korean, considering what those three countries surround, and that the target is an agent of the State Security Department, which is a North Korean intelligence agency. They didn’t want to come across as insulting of NK, so they cut out references that implied it. That’s also why they came up with “Khandanyang” in the follow up games. Why they couldn’t have just edited the bio to make him Khandanyangan, I’ll never know. ---

I don´t really see how “insulting” NK would be an issue, especially since it wouldn´t be explicit and I doubt NK would even notice 😝 And as you rightly mention, introducing Khandanyang in H2/3 basically solved any such potential problems (heck, Hush himself is mentioned to have been a member of the same agency). Indeed, editing the bio to the original version and specifiying his allegiance to Khandanyang should have been the easiest thing to do. @Clemens_IOI Could Ji-Hu´s bio be edited in that regard please? 🙂 ---

If you mean that North Korea became Khandanyang, I don’t think enough time has passed for a dynasty and line of succession to be established after replacing the Kim Jong dynasty. It seems to indicate that the original Heavenly Leader was either Sun Po or Jin Po, and that the other was the son, and that Tren Po is the grandson and current prince, and next in line for the title. I think. They haven’t made it fully clear yet. ---

for The Fugitive, I found his file this time. the other times this target was reactivated, I happened to get lucky without searching for his intel but didn’t want to risk it this time. anyway, the target ended up being the eyepatch guy. got him by triggering an explosion near the operating room and quickly coming at him with a lethal syringe. didn’t do much for a distraction, but explosions are awesome 😆 ---

I just finished this one, phew! What fun! I didn’t finish him the way i wanted it officially, but at least, i had fun planning each killing. I got so stressed the first time when it said it was a failure even though i only got spotted (bug?). Stupid me thought noone would see me pushing him off the ledge of the garden since noone heard me bludgeon him to death, but even more stupid me didn’t think of throwing the pipe near the ledge to make it look like an accident… I’m so bad at “planting a trap” 😅 Anyway, the second time was still the eye guy. I realised not only is the target random but also the routine. So i finally found him at the sushi place and it took so long to poison him. So few cooks left conscious… but i got him the way i wanted. It’s funny how you build it up in your head _while_ you’re playing, but you can also plan to do it a certain way. Fun! I wanted to push my official target but after many resets, it was still the ear guy, between the spa and sushi place. I got his attention while walking down the corridors and bam! bathroom, neck, clean kill (yes the patient and the director were carefully put down earlier). Do you know how random the target is? I reset numerous times to have the nose guy but never got him in the end. Anyway, Silent Assassin this time, got the great yukata. It’s much better than my “Rage” killing who went from sniper killing to massmurdering the entire roofs. Fun target. I enjoy Hokkaido more now. ---

I’m normally a proud member of #TeamNoRestarts but, this time, I decided I was going to take advantage of the of the guy who drinks from the bar and take the easy SASO that was offered to me. However, it had been a long time since I had done this particular elusive target and my memory was a bit hazy on some of the finer details. Long story short, through my various runs to get the right target, I convinced myself that IOI had tweaked some aspects of the mission, from adding three extra drinks to the counter to randomizing the one he drank from to causing him to not drink at all if he was the actual target and the right drink was poisoned and/or you managed to poison all four drinks. Anyway, it was here my story really starts. After spending almost longer restarting than actually playing, I finally got it so I brought in two lethal poisons, smuggled another, butchered the fugu and managed to get all four drinks poisoned in time just to see the presumed target turn and leave almost as soon as he entered the restaurant area. I decided then that was the one and also to just go with it (like I should have the whole time). I followed him to the garden where he struck up a conversation with another possible target. Convinced he was right, I quickly ran to the far corner to line up a long distance pistol shot from some cover. I lost track of exactly which one was the one I thought it was but I aimed at one of their heads and guessed correctly. I slid down that drainpipe to try to avoid a chaotic exit. But slid right into the guard at the bottom and got into a small firefight. After 2 or 3 accidental poison murders and killing a few angry guards and an innocent bystander or two, I managed to flee in a hail of gunfire and take the helicopter to safety. Then, I watched some old YouTube videos and read this thread to see what IOI changed only to be enlightened that I was just misremembering and was a bit of an idiot. Not only had no alterations been made but I just mistimed the poisoning in every run. On top of that, you could actually cheese all of the potential targets for years. It actually kind of adds to the mission for me; instead of one making the gimmick redundant, you can kind of pick your own adventure for a quick and easy target. In the end, though, order was restored. The last run was a near miss but it was the non-restart it should have been from the start. I didn’t get SASO, not by a long shot. However, that doesn’t matter to me. If IOI decides to release elusive targets permanently toward the end, then I’ll go back and clean up my more messy takedowns. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy the newest additions to my wardrobe: ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/2/1222c9fecb6603bc6d65715fd8994dbef40d58ce.jpeg) (Feels especially good after spending most of the past week trying to get Hokkaido to work again and becoming increasingly concerned I wouldn’t be able to even try it) ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/a/0/a05cd1397fd7a64a27c5d7105a80b9bce2c877b0.jpeg) (Missed the one in Hawke’s Bay, and have actually somehow never done that one, so I also got this, which billows in the wind almost as well as The Temper Suit) [Previous page](https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/elusive-target-16-the-fugitive-12-22-november-2021/12195.md?page=3) [Next page](https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/elusive-target-16-the-fugitive-12-22-november-2021/12195.md?page=5)
