It basically opens any door, even the ones that need a keycard. Its amazing for speedrunning routes.

I am so stuck on the final escalation where you have to kill three guys in an explosion.
They are brilliant at teaching you the map though!

I don't know that specific escalation, but on the roof of the observatory building of the mansion there's an explosive tank you can throw down a chimney to blow up the people at the bottom. Very easy to lure three guys there.

Someone in here turned me on to the one I've done a couple times just to get it over.
The shooting the stalactite is just the best.
Think it is LB and RB.

I think it's definitely
the joint
That might be coming in a future update. The last survey I was emailed they asked about if you would like filters for the contracts, also being able to also search for particular contracts and friends contracts.

it's very easy.
Make sure you start the mission disguised as a security or gardener. 1st target: Proximity mine. 2nd target: Propane tank from the shed next to the golfing spot. 3rd target: throw the exploding golf ball at him.
Thanks! Just learnt that coins set off proximity mines, whoops!

I was planning on getting the game in June, but I purchased a 50$ PSN card to get some games of the sale from a couple of days back. Turns out that the sale ended a couple of days ago, and I had enough money to get the complete experience package. So I guess I'll be joining you guys in discovering ridiculous ways to kill people! Hype.

Episode 2 is a fantastic piece of game design. I enjoyed Paris a lot but never felt quite in control for my play style - too many doors and people and slightly maze-like corridors.
Sapienza on the other hand just works better due to its many discrete areas and buildings and the ridiculous combination of kill opportunities this affords. It's like a mini James Bond story!
As an aside, I'm rewatching Breaking Bad and have decided that IO need to make a Hitman Breaking Bad game. Would completely suit the stealth/oh shit gunplay mechanics. And they'd pretty much only need to remove the barcode and add a goatee. Oh and best of Hitman 2/Blood Money remake using this engine. Not asking for much, thanks IO.
Can't wait for Marrakesh. Am going back to play Paris for a bit... see if Sapienza has improved my skills. Try and get that Silverballer unlocked...

Destroying the virus gets old pretty quick. Should have let that out I think. What is the quickest way to deal with it silently? I know about the
but that takes so long.

My current method is entrance along the cliffs, scientist outfit from guy inside, walk around the ledge by the seaplane, shoot the stalactite from behind the crates. Relatively painless.

And once you do it once, you can save the game and use that as starting point for other runs.
Sapienza still needs one more update. I couldn't do the detective challenge of disposing of Francesca because some guards have X-ray vision and can see through several meters of solid matter into the tunnel where i'm supposed to kill her and dispose her. Even if I kill her from a corner where I'm not seen, the moment I touch the body I'm found by a guy who sees me magically through the floor.
Also, I had one CTD in that area, the first one for me.

Thanks! Trying it out right now. Would have never come up with that one on my own.

yeah the stalactice is the easiest way, I don't like it, it's just too easy and requires no effort or preparation, they should have left that out, for SASO it can easily be done with the laptop as well

The psychologist disguise is good enough to get you most places with no risk of suspicion, and anywhere you can't go is easy enough to sneak into.

How do I get Silvio to
go to the observatory so I can shoot him through the telescope?
Just turn the telescope on. You can shoot the power box from the church tower or just do it inside the observatory.

Man, this latest PS4 patch really fixed challenges, it's great. I got a few done last night and got a disconnect, then got credit for them the next time I finished the level. Fantastic.

I had that happen to me with Francesca as well. But only once in like 7-8 times killing her (in the tunnel) via that opportunity so not sure what makes it glitch like that.

Yup. It's night and day from launch. Load times while still not the best are WAY better for me and w/reconnect fix the always online b.s. is now bearable.

Thanks! Lots of things to download, but I'm glad 1.05 version was downloaded from the get-go.
Didn't think Paris and Sapienza were this small though! Unfortunately I have an exam in Monday, so Hitman will have to wait a couple of days.

Didn't even know breaching charges could be used on regular doors. Only tried it on
the weakened wall in the tunnel where you can meet De Santis disguised as the journalist.

Did the
but didn't even stick around to see it. I was halfway across the map doing other things. Ah well. My checklist just popped up with the guy's name going grey and the challenge.

Not sure anyone's noticed (I TOTALLY missed it), but when you hit Mastery level 20 in Sapienza, you earn a sniper rifle with a zoomable scope, making 2 challenges in particular, MUCH easier to achieve.
you really should watch it, it's pretty funny

Sweet! Almost there. Took a break to go back to Paris to finish up the last few of those frickin' Vampire Magician feats.

Can someone confirm if you lose challenges if you reload an old save to do more challenges? I swear I had that issue in Paris...
No you don't, but they wouldn't show up in your end of run score. Now they save challenges immediately after completing them instead of at the end of your run.
Remembrance

It's been changed so that challenges are earned as soon as you do them, even if you quit (but you will only get the XP for mission mastery the next time you get to a mission completion screen for any mission in the same level).

Wondering if there is a Terminal Velocity-style ultimate SASO speedrun strategy in this level.
Could you
wake up the private investigator before you enter the lab, so that as soon as you destroy the virus you could be out in time to hide in the tunnel before he meets with De Santis
Also, I really like the idea of the extra-alert NPCs that will be suspicious of you even while not disguised or trespassing. It actually makes trying to eavesdrop more tense and realistic.
Edit: No, that doesn't work.
As soon as you destroy the virus De Santis cancels any other scripted events and heads to the lab.

Wait, you can just shoot the virus? I just assumed the containment unit would be bulletproof! Goes to show you should always experiment.

This is the second video where they shoot from that specific point to destroy it. I tried to do it from a closer distance (the roof of the entrance to the containment area) and the glass was bulletproof. So something weird is happening.
I assumed it was bulletproof glass too because I tried to shoot it with the sniper and it didn't work. Maybe I just did it wrong.
