Which disguise works for activating the top floor sprinkler trap?
Iâve been messing around with the mission and have some questions before I actually try something serious.
- Do you instafail or die if you lose a fight?
- Do you get poisoned if you fight one of the targets?
- Is there a way to get the second antidote without killing/KOing Zen?
The Hotel Staff disguise.
In all fairness of the three disguise sub-categories (guard - weapons, staff/waiter - food, and handyman/tech - sabotage), handyman/tech is the least consistent to find, read, and use.
- No - The tournament just continues without you. You are not actually knocked out. Unless you are acting as Leeâs second, in which case you made him loose by proxy.
- No.
- As far as I know, no.

The safe in Xiao Huâs room.
Unless you mean the one he has on him, if yes - no.

Cameras are nothing to worry about, since the entire mission happens in morganâs suite

Now, this one was interesting. I actually had an emotional rollercoaster on this one: excited, disappointed, annoyed, infuriated, entertained, and ultimately, satisfied.
Let me get a couple of things out of the way here:
One, this is the third new ET in a row where the gameplay has been tweaked to have some kind of annoying/complicated/difficult mechanic that comes out of nowhere. With Valiant, it was the starting undercover and surprise clone targets aspects. With Le Chiffre, it was the card game and the poisoning. And now with this ET, well, youâve all been talking about it for almost a week now, so you know the issues. And I gotta say, IOI needs to cut this shit out. If youâre gonna do things like that, it needs to be a regular mission, not time-limited, one-try-only, online exclusive content that has insta-fail features and takes an excessive amount of time to complete when played as intended.
And two, I flatly refuse to consider this a Celebrity ET, also for two reasons.
- No celebrity is actually involved. Bruce Lee is dead; that is neither his motion capture movements being used, nor his voice. It is simply his likeness, in which he is not the first character in the series to be directly based off another person, this time just happens to use the full name of the person for the character.
- Bruce Lee is not the target. Heâs a supporting character, but since heâs not the target, this turns out to just be a regular ET with a âguestâ appearance in it.
And to any who may believe I should still refer to it as a Celebrity ET despite those reasons because it is meant to represent an actual celebrity, despite not actually having one involved, fine; Iâll change my position as soon as IOI starts referring to Holiday Hoarders as a Celebrity Special Assignment.
Now, after a lot of trial and error in Arcade Mode, I finally found my method and adhered to the HPP in the process. Bringing in a durian and stashing the Sieker, I climbed the pipe to the top floor, met with Lee, waited for Roland to leave his office and stepped in before the door closed, messed with his laptop, and when he was done, I threw a coin next to the open window from my hiding spot behind his desk. One push and he was done.
Next, I dropped the durian next to Zen, followed him to the bathroom and drowned him, taking his antidote in case something went wrong, and made sure his body was discovered so it could be moved.
Then, I went upstairs to the suites to get a banana round up here, then used the Sieker on the lady in the exercise area where Xiao hangs out. Before she got to the bathroom I put the banana in front of the toilet so she wouldnât bother me later. I waited until Xiao had her first match, which is when she goes to lift weights. When the guy who is normally there walked away, I stepped in to spot her and killed her with the weights.
Then I just sat and waited for Lee to do the rest, then walked out. In the second round of the Arcade version, I brought a Kalmer instead and used it on Roland and Zen, took their poisons and antidote so theyâd be no threat to Lee, then when Xiao poisoned Lee I gave him the antidote and let it take its course.
A fun, if frustrating, mission. Iâll have more to say on this later, as this one opens a lot of interesting possibilities with the timeline and the lore, but Iâll save that for another post.

I would not be surprised if theyâre using these ETs to do some beta testing of new features theyâre considering using in some form in 007. If thatâs the case, I doubt theyâll stop.
Actually itâs probably a good idea for them to do so, and it gets them testing and gets us new content for Hitman. If only it wasnât locked behind the ET restrictions; as was discussed above, this would seem like itâd be much more playable as a special assignment.

Thatâs what Iâm talking about. I donât mind that theyâre doing it - indeed, I welcome each of these instances as the gameplay changes were quite interesting and enjoyable. The issue is that itâs being presented in ET format, which has its own list of issues since inception that doesnât need to be compounded with pioneering new gameplay for for future games.

Another flying propane on an elusive target added to the list

So thatâs why my 47 got his arse kicked!!
Unfortunately my braincells left me on level 2 of the arcade and I instinctually shoved Roland Chau out of a window⌠so Iâll have to check this and the safe out tomorrow. The replay value of this ET has been amazing, possibly the highest out of all of these celebrET missions imo

I actually donât think itâs the direct case.
Training/stretching grounds thoughâŚ
But now Iâm contemplating Hitman content data hypothetically still being compatible with Glacier Engine - 007 First Light version.
And then a possible âupdated engineâ soft-relaunch of WoA under it.
Maybe even as a final end-of-live-service for-the-long-haul sanitization of all the content and unlocks.
@linux_penguin if you want the moveset:
Opponent Attack/47 Defense Tell:
(47 need to defend the designated body section)
- Head: bending the leg, as if preparing a high kick or a knee kick
- Torso: punching in front of them
- Legs: swiping the leg
Opponent Defense/47 Attack Tell:
(47 needs to attack any of the two other body sections)
- Head: bending their arms at right angles around their head
- Torso: rolling their arms to a low torso stance
- Legs: stretching their arms and hands over their tights
And fun fact: each combination of defense/attack has its own movement (a connected torso attack will have a dedicated animation if against a leg defense, and another one if itâs against a head defense)

Yeah, but in this case itâs not something added by 47 - the food itself is the poison. If someone eats another slice, it makes sense it would still be toxic. And if weâre saying Zen just inhales the entire plate of fugu, you probably shouldnât be allowed to serve it again :âp

Well, only certain parts of the fugu is poisoned, so it makes sense that only that part of it got eaten by one NPC.

47 been dressing like Max Valiant and eating a lot of legume. Look at him now.
Contactless martial arts are now in Hitman. Because moving is cringe.

A delayed âThank You.â I didnât know the EMP could be used this way until you pointed it out. Still learning basic functions of available tools is slightly embarrassing but mostly exciting. Thanks.

Huh I didnât know you could fight on behalf of Lee. What are the requirements? And is this animation glitch specific to that suit?
This one was a right pain in the backside to do SA/SO.
In the end, I used a mix of emetic weaponry (Writers Note: those are things that make people sick; this is for our PR managersâ benefit so they can follow along) and the often slept-on Remote EMP Charge (which is very useful for disabling electronics such as cameras and security footage boxes, and works as a legal way to open electronic locks) as a way to get into the bedroom of Jiaolong Wu. Reminds me a bit of the Warlord in that way.
One of my main complaints of this level is that the penthouse feels extremely claustrophobic with all the eyes staring at you. Like Colorado, but insideâŚand everyone is staring in every possible direction. And it certainly doesnât help that thereâs a lot of guards around the place. It makes assassinating any of the generals annoying, even with the Sieker 1 and Durian on-hand. There are so few blind spots, and so few rooms to do any kind of work in because they require keycards that are impossible to obtain, that it makes the level needlessly convoluted.
I do like that Bruce Lee is on our side and an ally, though he lacks Dianaâs non-enforcer properties, which seems like a heck of an oversight.
All in all, this feels like a proper mission shoehorned into an elusive target format. And it is bulging at the sides to get out, what with all the extra mechanics on-hand. This shouldâve been its own mission, not an ET.

Leeâs gotta be poisoned and it has to be his turn to fight. Then you just tell the judge youâll fight on his behalf and thatâs it.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I remember checking in with Lee after he got poisoned. But Iâve no idea whether it is a requirement or not, need to try without it.
What you see in the vid was the first and only time I got this glitch, so I canât say for sure. But my bet is the suit doesnât matter - itâs probably pressing the fight prompt when Lee is already in position.

I am somewhat overwhelmed that my usual âETs suck, please do classic missions insteadâ is such a mutual feeling this time, usually ETs formula gets heavily defended for one reason or another.
Happy to hear
