Elusive Target #17: THE BROKER (Year 5: 14 - 23 February 2025)

Where is the key to the safe for the egg? I’ve found it before but it was long ago and I can’t remember shit about it.

It’s setting on the desk with the laptop you use to shut the auction down

Today I discovered that there are cameras added to every entrance to the dining room even though you don’t have a reason to go in there. I assume that’s where the Ivory White was originally going to be hidden.

There’s a dining room in Paris?

Kinda getting tired of ET’s, so I just fried him.

Hello everyone, i’m back here. I still stink at Hitman you know. Completely forgot this fool was in Paris again. I was this close to make a perfect hit and… i completely forgot i needed a lockpick to get the Ivory White. I asked everyone around “do you have by any chance a crowbar?”, i went to the silent and very secretive auction, well what do you know, noone had a crowbar! I was away a long time so i don’t recall where to find one. In conclusion, this ET took longer than expected. Much too longer.

Speaking of the safe, I only learned during this activation that is more than one key for the safe. I always believed that the one on the desk next to the auction laptop was the only one on the map. Turns out Dalia has one on her too.

I could’ve posted this first part in Things you just found out about Hitman.

The auction staff disguise is trespassing in the Rm with the safe. I’m pretty sure it’s not trespassing in the normal mission, right? Because a regular NPC/Auction staff goes through there near the beginning of the mission. :man_shrugging:

Howard blew himself up with the set it and forget propane tank tossed near his smoking spot method, which is kinda boring.

SA was ruined when a guard spotted me as Auction Staff just before I was going to get the egg. I had opened it with a lockpick earlier, but if I had tossed the PT too far… I suppose that’d just cost me extra time to reposition it.

Oh no. Network disconnect? :astonished:

Oh well. Guess I get to start over. :smirk:

The target was by the water with the railing around it. I placed a banana down for his guard, but I guess he missed it.

I tossed a coin to distract the target, came up behind his guard, and choked him out. Then ran to the target, getting behind him as he turned around to resume his routine/path, but fiber-wired him before he spotted his bodyguard. Then I dumped him in the water.

Getting the egg, turned on both faucets to bring in both guards, used the crowbar I got from outside. Then exfiltrated via the main gate.

Just took this guy out too, in the easiest run I’ve ever had on him. Just use the electrocution puddle in the are where he mainly hangs out, and for the egg, you can get the key from Dalia’s office by throwing a single coin to distract the guard on the balcony from the side door, and then go into her office through the entrance he guards and just take the key off her desk (the girl in the room won’t care about you), then walk out through the already open doors. The guards on either side won’t see you until you’re out of the office and it won’t cause you any problems. Then just sneak into Dalia’s bathroom (I assume we all know how to do this by now?), wait until she and her assistant are out of the room with the safe, then turn on both faucets in the bathroom. Wait for both guards to come in and stay crouched, then leave the bathroom, go to the safe, it’ll open quickly and quietly with the key, then crouch and go back into the bathroom and hide in the closet until the two guards leave. Sneak out the same way you got in and exit the map however you like. Easiest run I’ve ever had for the Broker, by far.

I’ve taken care of him few hours after this mission was live. Don’t know exactly why, but it is one of my favorite ET missions. The additional objective is interesting to complete it suit only, and not as hard as the one from “Embrace of the Serpent” SO.

Nah it’s trespassing in the main mission too (and Freelancer as well).

OhNo

Ultimately went with the same run as the last one for this ET reactivation. I could’ve went with something cool but I didn’t want to risk anything! :sweat_smile: Used the fire alarm trick to get into the safe box quickly and then electrocuted Moxon!

I saw a few runs under 1:30 for the ET and even one under a minute but that requires a lot of RNG as this target’s specific routing is very random to get the specific quick kill methods you need!

I completely forgot about the heartbreaker so I completed the broker silent assassin instead

Noooooooooooooo!!! Me too! My perfect record on getting ALL the ETs in WOA is now tarnished!

Maybe you should think of a way that IOI could harshly punish you for this?

Not being able to launch the game until the next time the Heartbreaker is available sounds fine to me.
