Elusive Target #2: THE STOWAWAY (Year 6: 3-12 July 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!

Reception Loadout + Durian + Poison Syringe

As is custom to the ark society, mistaking the bathroom for the kitchen is punishable by death. (did this in a boring way tbh.)

Custodian start, shot both cameras, then weapon lured the target to bathroom for a lethal injection.

Done. One try, no need to restart anything. Began in the usual starting point with sedative gum and a remote emetic device stashed. Got the device first, headed to the tower where the Constant’s butler is, lured a guard into the bathroom with a sink lure and left the gun in there. Took his outfit, grabbed the nearby briefcase, went to find the target. Got him to switch uniforms and gear upstairs, went to the security office where a flare is located and got it. Then went to where the target was hanging out and tried to use the gun lure trick to make him follow me to where I could push him off a ledge, but the gun lure trick just does not seem to work on some ETs. Don’t know the pattern, because I can use it on the Iconoclast, but can’t use it on the Splitter or this one, and who knows how many others.

Anyway, went down to the docks and got the car battery from the room there, went back up to where the target was, used the remote emetic device on him there and followed him to the bathroom. When I knew he was about to finish puking, I threw the briefcase outside the bathroom so that the staff member outside would take it away, then turned on the sink behind the target as he finished being sick. Threw the battery into the puddle and that was all she wrote. Grabbed the dictaphone, went back to the tower where my suit was, changed back, went up the stairs to the helipad and booked.

SA, 5 stars, accident kill, one attempt, HPP followed. Supreme.

You can’t have SO (suit only) if you changed. :confused:
