I’d still take that over Embrace of the Serpent.

Finished all three of these long-absent returners, and with exactly the means I set out to use. The Pharmacist got her throat cut with the concealed knife, our girl The Warlord got skewered with her own machete, and The Sensation got sick from a smashed durian and drowned in a toilet. Silent Assassin for each, no KOs for The Pharmacist, No KOs and Suit Only for The Sensation. So far, a productive week.

I screwed up this one. I killed the target no problem, but the secondary objective proved to be more of an issue. Anyway, I killed about 30 guards

Having trouble with this one. About two years ago I’ve been playing all the ETs in H2016 using Peacock (following the regular ET rules) and I swear I could mix Bloody Mary in her kitchen as a waiter, which she would come to drink. Didn’t get SA back then, because I got trapped by enforcers which I didn’t expect and got suspicion, but that wouldn’t happen if I fleed the floor earlier.
Now I just can’t get it to work. Sometimes the prompt to blend in as a waiter appears at around 7th minute, sometimes it doesn’t. When it does - I can mix the cocktail, but no one ever comes to drink it. The only thing I’ve noticed is that the officer enters the kitchen only once (~8th minute), then goes away. Is this opportunity broken in H3 or am I missing something?
Also, figured a gangsta way to grab the USB stick, managed to pull this off several times in a row, but then couldn’t do it anymore for some reason.

In the top floor central garden/open area, there’s a cigarette on the ground near where you can toss a PT and wait, but the last time I played it she never went to smoke. Besides that, she never would come out of ‘lockdown’ at some point. I’d be willing to bet her path/routine script is bugged.

Must be fun to get this bug after grabbing the files.

I’ve been doing risky moves on a buggy and really hard ET. Miraculously got away undetected in a situation where I shouldn’t have survived. Playing on my only account, don’t even take Alt+F4 as an option.
And of all things that could go wrong - I had to run out of storage during recording. Goddammit.
Good news is that the difficult part was recorded. Then I waited until Kalu and the commander leave, penetrated Nne from behind, hid her in the closet, her machete in the briefcase, and leisurely, as if my hands weren’t shaking, walked to the basement exit. Now my 47 canonically owns Nne Obara’s machete.
UPD: While I’m at it, uploading one of the Bloody Mary tries, which was my original plan for this ET. Couldn’t find any other info about this broken method, so here it is for anyone interested.
Tried many times hoping that it might accidentally work once, but no luck. The blend in option appears always at a different time or doesn’t at all, relatively early on this attempt (timecode 6:00).
Noticed before that once you mix the cocktail, another waiter comes from downstairs, but turns around and goes back once he sees 47. Tried to move away from the area just in case his presence in the kitchen might change something.

I started in 47’s room, Kalmer’d a hotel staff, ran past the guards upstairs and chucked a durian near the target and her guards. Drowned her in a bowl, somehow.
Went back down a floor, grabbed one of the two guards down there and nicked his disguise. Breaching charge in the security room to get the files from the safe, and dropped an EMP to deal with the security camera.
I remember this ET being a LOT more tense and engaging the first time I did it. Her personal bodyguards are super guards and immune to distractions but durian just bypasses that.

Well, she’s taken care of again.
As usual for an elusive target, not Silent Assassin, not Suit Only, not 5 stars (think I got 2 but wasn’t paying attention), but it’s done.

You just blasting them off?
Easy SA
I recommend beginning as a hotel staff. Have a Durian hidden in 47 suite, you can grab that after you take out the target on the way back down. Have a lethal injection equipped, and lockpick, and any suppressed pistol. I used Krugermeirer.
In the basement, you spawn next room, you can grab the master keycard, and 3 coins in the same room.
then make your way up to the top, where the target is, in Ken Morgan’s suite from the main mission. Then make your way up to the top room of the suite using the staircase, and go right into the room to the right once you reach the top of the staircase. Wait in the closet, and at about the 4:07 mark, the target comes in, you will be able to use the injection, drag, put in the crate and grab the safe key. Note, others will pop in after 4:22 ish so if you notice that, just get out, injection is a accident kill. I was able to drag and put in the closet, and go to the right into the bathroom and go down the staircase, before you leave, the office below is a camera recorder you can take out.
Then head to 47 suite, grab durian. then head back to the basement and up the stairs where the bug guy pops in and lure the guard. subdue and take disquise put in locker same room.
head up into the security room
. use the Durian on the 1 guard who is a NPC. then pull out the 3 coins you got in the laundry room. place 2 on floor for 1 guard and 1 coin for the other guard who are watching the safe box. they will leave for a brief moment, but just enough time to use the safe key or lockpick on the safe box. even with the safe key it’s illegal to open, once it’s open is legal to grab the files. if for some reason the durian doesn’t work, the NPC guard is at the camera recorder and then goes to 2 other spots before returning, thats when you want to place the coins and open the safe get files, once that NPC guard begins to leave that camera recorder spot.
4:12 is when Eliminated the Target, and about the 8 min mark when I got files, and I took the basement exit at 9:36. There are probably faster ways, but my method will get you a SA

This one still boggles my mind how I came so close to doing it SA in H1. The only thing I remember is that I only lost SA is because I didn’t see the warning prompt that using the key on the safe was an illegal action.
Given how basic our loadouts were back then, I genuinely have no clue what I did. Or how I entered the security area to get her USB stick without issue.

Same here. I must have done something, but for the life of me, can’t remember what.
Back in H1, I used breach device, but coins are best , the 3 you equipment and the 3 from laundry room.
Best way to distract the guards

I have never really cared about Silent Assassin and I absolutely hate Suit Only (you get more points for changing outfits anyway) but I don’t ever try to do the Elusive Targets with any sort of specific ranking. Done is done. In this instance I shot the target in the head, let the guards find the body, and then distracted most of the guards out of the security room with some loud gunshots. Then I just knocked out the remainder, took the usb and exited the level.
Every part of this hurt, like waking barefoot over a room filled with legos.

Did it about the same this year as usual, but decided to start undercover and get the USB first this time:
- Start as staff, bring a breaching charge.
- Grab the keycard from the laundry room.
- Go upstairs to the security room (ignore the cameras). Get the security disguise from the locker.
- Place and detonate the breaching charge. Get the USB stick.
- Switch back to the staff disguise.
- Go upstairs to Morgan’s Office. Disable the camera console there.
- Go up to the target’s room, take her machete, and wait by the door where it’ll hide you from sight when it’s open.
- She comes in around 4 minutes into the mission. Close the door behind her, stab, and hide her in the crate.
- Find an exit.

As much as I hate this ET, I’ve been waiting for it, because last time I ran out of storage and didn’t record the entire thing. And it’s a shame, 'cause I barely pulled off a super risky move back then.
Been thinking how to pull it off SASONKO without loadout, or default loadout at least, but don’t see that happening. I theoretically can slip into her room somehow to kill her, or into that security room, but no way it hell I’ll pull this off in the same run, with no margin for error after killing Nne. Why would they even put that stupid box in the most obnoxious place on the map.

Has the “Serve Bloody Mary” elimination in the kitchen been fixed yet? Been dying to try it!
