Elusive Target #2: THE STOWAWAY (Year 5: May 30 - June 8 2025)

This might be a silly question but how do I embed a Youtube video. I tried with hyperlink and it just gave me hyperlink only.

Pasting the copied URL address should work. At least, that’s how it works on a browser on PC. I’m not sure how it’d work on a mobile device since I’ve never bothered or had to use that method.

You can copy/paste something like ^that and it should do this…

Started as a chef/kitchen assistant. Did a gun lure near one of the corners he goes to in the gallery since I’ve got a feel for how it works! Lead him down to the pantry, melee kill with a knife, and stuffed into a freezer. Exited by the 3 guards. SA

If I unlocked a rubber duck for every time I have killed jimmy I would probably have 5 ducks in every colour of the rainbow

So…here’s something I didn’t see coming. This mission did not annoy me…

For reasons I cannot explain, the tutorialisation for this mission appears to have been…altered? Like, Diana was completely silent when coming across Chen, and his routine has also been changed. Maybe this was server-side or I was just lucky for the three times I restarted, can anyone confirm this?

This mission is otherwise notorious for being hand-holdey, as any person who has played this contract before in previous activations or in ETA can tell you. The Censor is annoying for similar reasons, as Diana, usually, chimes up to help 47 isolate him, which is completely unnecessary.

This is where my rant would be (and is incoming, the Hitman 2 Elusive Target Video is still being made!) but…this wasn’t triggered. I’m noticing a pattern of IO changing the elusive target missions recently to make them less frustrating (Note the chongqing back-room changes for The Rage).

I killed Chen pretty quickly, though with a method I hadn’t done before; leaking gas canister and a spark provided by the Remote EMP charge, and then it was a matter of waiting out the search and guards…and a phone call of a woman chatting to her boyfriend who is more interested in golf than her which was hilarious.

This might actually get bumped up to B-tier (from E tier) if this was indeed a change rather than my luck.

Welp, that’s not exactly what I had in mind.

After seeing those real smooth runs by @Axwage and @Syndicator decided to try SASONKO him myself. Technically I can say it’s suit only and I haven’t really KO’ed anyone non-lethally either. As for the Swiss cheese I got turned into - probably that bitch in white and her goon were on their way to mess up my timing, right? Haven’t learned this map very well.

Gonna keep this route in mind and hope they’ll rerun him in Year 5. Maybe it’ll work if I wire him a bit earlier, or just shoot.

P.S: ā€œI SEE A FOOT! GUN HIM DOWN!ā€

Hey, thanks for the shoutout!

Believe me… it took many attempts.

I DID IT! Got Jimmy boy on the wire!

Suit only, no KOs, no emetics - just coins, fiber wire, and some weirdly misplaced firearms from the security room.

That was one risky-ass run, but hey - sweet redemption after the last fuckup.

Done. Usual method: drowned in a toilet. SA rank. Nothing special, like the ET itself.

Custodian, propane, breaching charge, helicopter, the usual. It took more than a minute because I forgot to grab his recorder and had to go back :confused:

SA/SO NKO, climbed to stone circle and gun from the barracks, timed a distraction with it for the guard overlooking the gallery, used the window of opportunity to lure and dispatch

I’d like to thank @Dani1o for the inspiration, I really didn’t know how to do this ET while giving myself a good challenge since he’s not that hard.

The chain of inspirations, huh? Nice kill!
