If you KO this lady and hide her. The virus won’t spread to downstairs to anyone.
A total of 4 NPC plus 2 bodyguards needs to be KO and hide - for no spreading of virus and no bodyguard of this ET.
The lady above (very important), a strolling guard on 1st floor, Gregory and the Mansion Staff lady in the Library. The 2 bodyguards are in the library guarding 1st and ground floor.
I think IOI is missing someone who would ask “dumb” questions like:
It’s not a complaint, but IOI should get someone like that.
Are there any restrictions to those, that wouldn’t fit Lilith, that we know of? There might be a reason, why they didn’t choose that.
Found a small but decent time skip in the main Mission Story. If you plant a proximity Semtex on the window as Lilith is giving her monologue, she’ll stop talking once it explodes and skip ahead to leaving to head back upstairs. Even though she hasn’t injected herself.
She’ll still be infected by the time you reach the main areas again. But cuts out quite a bit of time doing nothing.
Oh wow, this is really cool!
Is there nothing in-game now where 47 and Diana confirm Zachery’s death? 
Wonder why that was cut when it tied more of the dots together?
we atleast know emma is divorced due to the briefing
Good. That was… kinda sick.
I was wondering, I was able to do the mission story where she follows you around, but I dont know how you are supposed to discover it naturally in game. I only found out through the forum, but never found anything that reveals that opportunity. Does anyone know?
The guy in the bathroom near Rebecca’s room is muttering to himself about having lost his tooth they all carry, which is the natural reveal point.
Just found it, honestly never went down that hallway in all my playthroughs lol
I was going to write a post praising and comparing many aspects, but practically everything has already been said, so I’ll just add that this is the best DLC released so far and one that partially justifies the title “Paid DLC” All the previous ones were charming in their own way, but the limited amount of potential possibilities cast doubt on whether they were truly worth the price.
What I expect from expansions like this:
new and varied opportunities
new interconnected equipment items
new mini-mechanics
new and numerous challenges
The ETs should be developed enough to function as a mini-mission package and be available as a separate mission in the Locations section
More additions to the Freelancer mode
I really like that the game doesn’t spell everything out and that you have to figure certain things out on your own - I hope there are more initiatives like this, because that’s exactly what I enjoy about the game.
What I don’t like:
the recurring issue of sound lag with every new content release - it really takes away the enjoyment
cosmetic additions to Freelancer that add very little (even the garden reduces functionality)
in this particular case, an overly linear and overly long path to trigger the actual mission sequence
Certain inconsistencies in the mission that feel unfinished (e.g., using the ring at the entrance causes the target to appear in the laboratory earlier; triggering the manifesto opportunity after the target has already been killed results in you going to the meeting spot with the leader, only for him to say that “someone has already taken care of it” - even if there’s no body present).
PS: I liked very much lasers, its bring me back first Resident Evil movie memories. Great easter egg.
some extra hidden dialogue with H.E.R.B. if you wait around in the room with the two scientist corpses. goes into the origins of the virus. might be more dialogue. don’t know. he makes a very specific and deliberate point that it is 5000 years old (some kind of Easter Egg clue? I inputted it into Alexa’s safe but no dice) and that it was brought over to wipe out an unnamed group of natives. didn’t record it, but should be easy enough to see for yourself.
also- all of the mansion guards outside the manor get despawned once Ether rolls in, and unlike the cheap trick in Chongqing, where some of those facility security (blue berets) get turned into the masked facility guards- all of the Ether containment get spawned in. alot of them are named John Doe according to the the mini-map, but a bunch of them also have unique names. all the guests have unique names too. also, weirdly enough, I noticed it despawns a couple of the generic guests too. want to say at least 2 just vanish- odd.
lastly- is is very easy to softlock yourself in the basement with Devereux. wanted to wallbang her when she gets close to the glass- but i tried with c4, xmas, and serpent’s bite a bunch. didn’t seem to work.
what’s really odd is that she can see bomb’s placed on the glass- but not 47. weird vision blocker ig.
I like how the coat check guy is in the death cult. very amusing.
Having thoroughly enjoyed “The Harbinger” and “The Contagion,” I’d like to share my thoughts.
This ET was positioned as the final chapter of Patient Zero, and it was quite an intriguing experience.
The mission being split into two parts with distinct content for each half, the underground lab triggering special events, the latter half descending into chaos with infected enemies appearing one after another as befits Patient Zero’s finale, Resident Evil elements scattered throughout… I enjoyed it from start to finish.
My favorite scenes were “Lilith injecting herself with the virus” and “47 dodging the laser.”
It was undoubtedly enjoyable content, but it inevitably makes me think that the level of polish in this content no longer fits neatly within the “Elusive Target” framework.
As many visitors to this forum have also mentioned, I believe it’s time for Celebrity Targets to be changed from “Elusive Targets” to permanent “Special Missions.”
Playing through this mission made me realize,With multiple mission storylines, multiple events, lethal gas and laser death events where one mistake is fatal, and the relentless escalation of infected enemies, a proper save/load system is sorely needed.
Furthermore, given the effort put into such extensive content, I’d love to see plenty of “challenge elements” – a hallmark of HITMAN.
For example, if designing challenges for this mission, I think the following would be interesting:
・Assassinate Lilith Devereux before she obtains The Carlisle Family Ring.
・Assassinate Lilith Devereux before she descends into the underground lab.
・Assassinate Lilith Devereux using the Bartoli Hunting Shotgun.
・Assassinate Lilith Devereux without infecting anyone.
・[REDACTED] Have Lilith Devereux killed by a third party.
・Desecrate Alexa Carlisle’s grave.
・Find the mansion’s master key.
・Find the greenhouse key.
・Collect all four Carlisle Family Rings.
・Discover the underground lab.
・Craft every cure item exactly once during a single mission.
・Cure any one person.
・Cure yourself.
・Escape by helicopter.
・Make Lilith Devereux slip on a banana peel on the event stage.
・Cure Lilith Devereux after she is infected with the virus.
・Eliminate all targets while infected with the virus yourself.
・Complete the mission without ever becoming infected yourself.
・Prevent Gregory Carlisle from becoming infected with the virus.
・Infected Rebecca Carlisle with the virus.
・[REDACTED] Completed the mission without the Aether biohazard team killing a single person.
・[REDACTED] Infected 47 or more people with the virus and treated them all.
・Completed the mission with 2 or fewer people infected with the virus.
This is purely my personal opinion, but I believe the Elusive Target should be changed into content that can be played consistently at any time.
On top of that, I thought it might be better to add “optional elements unique to that year” to the traditional live Elusive Target, similar to an arcade mode.
For example, Year 6 ET could be “Only one character can be knocked out,” Year 7 ET could be “Accidental deaths only,” and Year 8 ET could be “Lethal slow only.”
I think this would maintain the tension while still introducing a bit of change each year.
Of course, it’s strictly “Optional,” so there’s no need to achieve it.
I think it’s best to treat it as an element that only those who care about rank scores need to pursue
Anyway, I really enjoyed this Elusive Target too.
I hear there are still three more new Elusive Targets coming this year.
I’m thrilled to think there’s still plenty more HITMAN fun ahead.
I really enjoyed this ET. So many great possibilities to kill Lilith. Does she drop her ring after you kill her? I don’t think I’ve ever got the chance to pick it up. But maybe I was just distracted by other things…
She does.
Alexa’s safe has the same code as in the regular mission, but it’s empty (at least in the first stage, but don’t think it would change in the second).
The little extra chat from HERB is quite fun. I particularly enjoyed his “Who made you?” question.
Shame they didn’t slap the name Lilith Devereux on a random non-speaking female NPC in The Source to retroactively have her be present like is mentioned in this mission.
In my eyes, just because she was in Thailand doesn’t mean she was at the cult meeting. But there’s other plot holes that are worse.
Love this list of challenges
