What a great ET! It really felt like a proper new mission, and the changes to make Paris into a casino were extensive. The Showstopper mission is very Bondian anyway, and so to make it into basically a playable Casino Royale is a perfect way to tie in to the new Bond game. Even down to little details like both Bond and 47 having a CIA agent ally at the poker table…
My only complaint is I wish it was a bonus mission instead of an ET, or maybe a small-scale new map, but hey ho. Good fun!
As far as I am aware, after the cut to the basement, everything you came in with is gone. Found this out in Arcade Mode, so when doing the real ET, before getting escorted up to the poker game, I dropped my pistol, fiber wire, lockpick and coin in the empty kitchen near where the interrogation takes place. They are still there after the event, so if you don’t want to lose your items, drop them someplace they won’t be found by a wandering NPC before you go upstairs to the game.
Do you need the camera? Or the keys?
This is yet another Celebrity Elusive Target that makes me wish they did Special Assignments for them instead of ETs
Ironically, the CelebrETs have more effort put into them than the actual Special Assignments. 
The SpAs that we got really should have been ETs.
This ET is so much fun! I don’t want it to end because I want to explore everything, there is so much! Very nice work 
So, one thing I noticed about this mission is that Vicente Murillo is described by Diana as a fascist dictator in exile, which is different from what is established in his backstory in his own mission.
Not completely. It’s more of a simplified version of it. Vicente, according to his own bio, is indeed in exile, and has been for a while, and since he started up his own group after the one he rose up through failed, it can be considered he’s more accurately a fascist dictator-wannabe. Diana was just shortening it.
Hmm. Well, if you say so
Can anyone explain to me what the intel thing is about obtaining a ton of chips? I’m thinking early on you had to have the money to bribe the dealer but it got dropped? It appears top left screen during the playthrough once Diana mentions getting to him instead of actually beating Le Chiffre and it’s a giant number. Much more than you can obtain in any reasonable amount of time downstairs in the casino.
my only problem with this ET is im now really into poker thanks to balatro and i wish there was a way to play a straight game of poker with him
They need like 100 more of these
I’m unsure, but winning the game didn’t make the top left indicate that I had acquired the chips.
Murrillo is so janky in this. If you do anything that would normally cause a NPC to panic, he just t-poses instead.
It’s a shame you can only play poker at the downstairs tables only once per table, but you can play an infinite number of roulette games. I did discover that one of those poker tables is buggy and won’t show you your cards only the odds of winning.
Ah well, safe easy poison for the ET. I’ll faff about in the arcade version later. But this was very nice and I really like all the changes to Paris. The area where Agent Smith is, is utterly gorgeous. I’m an absolute sucker for floor to ceiling bookshelves.
Has anyone explored if after being poisoned and returning to the game upstairs, what happens if 47 folds in the second poker game? Is it possible for Le Chiffre win, then go to Murillo and pay the debt?
He wins the game and then departs for the helicopter to leave
In this 2nd version my detailed playthrough: Agent 47 does not kill anyone, Win an invite to Play a few Poker Games & meet Le Chiffre in person, Get the Antidote before the timer runs out when poisoned by Le Chiffre, General Murillo kills Le Chiffre & No Disguise change @ all. This can all be done in Suit Only/Silent Assassin/No Loadout/No KO/No HUD/5 Star Rating.
1=Starting Default Location
2= Obtain an invite to the Poker Game with 3 possible outcomes/individuals.
3= Mingle with the guests and come across one of the Poker Players Bai Siyu in a short conversation with an individual near the Bar area, she has a past with Le Chiffre as mentioned by Diana. You can obtain an invite from her, but 47 does not choose this path.
4= Agent 47 comes across Agent Smith in the Library to discuss business with the conversation talking about how 47 needs to get an invite to the Poker Game & Agent Smith offers the option to kill on an individual named Oliver Winding for the invite to the Poker Game as he feels he may have been compromised. In this version Agent 47 does not kill Oliver Winding & does not get the invite from Agent Smith.
5= Approach another Poker Player who is named Abhijeet Rangan located in the Casino area & offer to challenge him to a game of Roulette: a $10 million play in exchange for an invite. Bet on number Red 5 to win the game & obtain the invite.
6= Show the invite to Security & meet personally with Le Chiffre.
7= Play the first Poker Game & lose to Le Chiffre.
8= As soon as you have lost the game, Agent 47 is poisoned by Le Chiffre, this occurs when they first met each other before the Poker Game when Agent 47 has a drink with Le Chiffre.
9= Get The Antidote before the timer runs out, which is 1 minute 10 seconds. You have to sprint to this location! If you don’t, another outcome plays out where you meet Le Chiffre in the basement tied up & Agent Smith will help you, but you will need to change your disguise! So getting the Antidote avoids this.
10= After taking the Antidote, head back up stairs & talk to the Card Dealer. Diana mentions this Agent 47! Threaten the Card Dealer after explaining who you are, set up Le Chiffre to lose this time & return to the Poker Game to Le Chiffre’s surprise.
11= Win the Poker Game this time & let the events of Le Chiffre’s Elimination play out as he is killed by General Murillo’s own hand.
Agent 47 out
