Elusive Target #4: THE POLITICIAN (Year 4, August 30th - September 9th 2024)

Isn’t the car an exit in the ET ? You just need to take the keys in the living room.

I even think this exit being here in the ET is the main reason why we keep seeing it as missing and asking for it for the normal level.

Is it? I always thought that the boat was the only exit in that map. Every time I play the level I always end up having that long tiresome trek across the beach. I’ll have to try it again next time and see if I’m wrong!

Goofy SASO FW.
My second proper ET ever.

Just redid it in Arcade, but switched the tranq shot and banana between the balcony guard and the mustache one, and it’s a lot faster

I think you have to pick up the car keys for the exit to show up at all? Not sure though, could be me misremembering.

Just KO’d everyone inside the house, used the katana to cut her throat open, then bailed. No problem-o.

Not exactly original way to kill her this time, yet pretty clean no loadout run.

Third time really is the charm huh.

I rushed level by luring her outside with the peek-a-boo method (which took like 2-3 of tries) and layed out some coins while she was coming to investigate so I could hide in the nearby bushes and tranq the bodyguard and push her in the pool.
As it turned out I didn’t space my coins well enough so I had to tranq her too before she could see the other npc on the ground, but since I had placed the last one near the edge of the pool she slipped into it and fell on her own giving me a melee kill (?) and hiding the body for me.
After that I just left the level leaving everything there, especially the coin circle (that she dropped after getting KOed).

This is like the third time I’ve done this ET (not including arcade) so I already knew about the gimmick and which is the real one.
Even so this one is pretty enjoyable, since you have different options (creative or opportunities) on how to take her out and it’s kinda relaxing since Hawke’s Bay is basically a tutorial map so you can easily learn where everything is and observe the guards’ movement to avoid them.

Went in with Black Lily, lockpick, greedy coins, and Tactical Turtleneck. Smuggled… I mean, found a lost and handy-dandy fishing line just yards away from the beach, perfect for garroting. :wink: #immersion

Went in through the pool door, and got the keys… Peekaboo’ed the first, choked her out in the bathroom as she turned around, then dumped her in the closet. I also closed the blinds. Peekaboo’ed the target, kicked-garroted her, and dragged her into the same closet.

Carefully made my way to the SUV (which was the most tense part), SASO. All under 8 minutes.

Like the team ‘No Restarts’ there should be a 'Team No :cheese: ’ where you don’t kill the target in the easiest cheesiest way possible (shoot the heater). Add a little more risk.

“But peekaboo’ing is chee”… :shushing_face:

I do that, when I go in serious on this one. I don’t shoot the heater; I use a wrench, and with no KOs.

KO’d like 3/4 of the guards in the house and the body double. poisoned the safe-room ventilation, and then spooked Barbara causing her to run into her demise. Too lazy to take a screen shot or replicate it again but it was a SASO.

No Loadout SA SONKO

Hehehe. Zip zip zoom. Kablooey. She never saw it coming.

This took a few too many tries to get the timing on everything right! Wish the kill could have been more cinematic, but by the time I’d successfully pulled it off I was itching to get out safely as quickly as possible.

Reviving the topic, because together with the Iconoclast this ET will go live unannounced in a few hours for Year 4.

:elusive_target_dark: So don’t miss her! :elusive_target:

Just gonna do the standard procedure of rigging the heater she smokes next to. Described my whole process before, I don’t expect the need for any deviation.

The only semi exciting thing about this activation is that if you’ve played and SA’d every ET since the start of H2’s live content with The Undying in 2018 - this ET will mark your 100th ET SA in a row (assuming you play The Iconoclast Y4 before it, since that one is #99 in the activation order since H2).

And, just as predicted, it ended… just as predicted.
