I killed the target, then almost died and quit. Then remembered I couldn't restart when the target was already dead.

Ugh, failed this one,
Bummed out, I was hoping to get all the elusive targets.
I heard a pretty funny one too, a guy was looking at his cellphone and said "... sit in the park and masturbate? DAMN AUTOCORRECT!" Didn't hear the whole thing but that quip was funny.
managed to kill the target pretty easily, snuck into the sewers and snapped his neck as he was leaving the catacombs, but I got swormed by guards pretty quickly while trying to make an escape and got killed.

Fuck I failed.
I tried to shoot him in the Church with the silencer but I didn't know a guard was behind me. Totally Shoemaker'd it.
Augh.

Got lucky and got it on accident.
I actually got spotted earlier in the level and totally panicked and thought I was gonna die and ran into the sewer and ran straight into a guard without paying attention, took him out, changed into his outfit and then walked back out and everything was fine again. Was scary though, felt like I was gonna miss this one. It actually ended up helping me get an outfit to get where I eventually took the target out!
The priest was heading back from the catacombs and I was following him as a bodyguard, the bodyguard behind him saw me and I tried to get away so I ran into the security cam room to the right. The guy chased me in there and I took him out which caused the target to panic and run into the security room where I decked him next and then snapped his neck. No one else was around so I just closed the door to the security cam room and walked out and left the map lol.

There's still a way to restart if you fuck up after killing the target. Maybe even after 47 is killed but the timing is probably a little too tight there.
Worked for me on PS4 when I made a really dumb mistake. I've been watching too many of the GB Quick Looks I think.
Just pause and disconnect from the internet (on PS4 you can easily do it through Network Settings, or just unplug the ethernet cable, etc.). The reconnect prompt will come up and tell you that you can either try to reconnect or quit to menu to try the elusive again later. Quit to Menu, reconnect to the internet and bam - you can try again.
They will probably be side missions for the game at release in January to add more missions to the stages.

Well, silent assassin did not happen for me due to getting greedy and going for the
kill despite having already cleared the path to take him out on the basement stairs.
Seeing
caused me to do exactly the wrong thing:

.
In the end, it wasn't worth it. If it wasn't getting spotted due to that, it would have been randomly encountering a suspicious guard at the bottom due to all the chaos.
What I really had my heart on was the
kill, but that would have turned out even worse for me since

, and that thing has a deceptively huge range when I tested it.

a guard at the top of the bell tower

"Bullet Impact Noticed" and no way to get past the guy without arousing suspicion

On PC it sold around 200k copies, not too many, but not even too bad, considering it's an early access game etc.
Before I do something drastic - explosions affect winches right?
/edit ugh, should've predicted but got screwed out of silent assassin.
Still, got the fucker.
I could've probably SA'd if I hadn't been obsessed with the bell
/edit ugh, should've predicted but got screwed out of silent assassin.
Dropped the bell on him but didn't realise it'd kill the guy guarding the stairs too... I should've tried to radio him out of the way and dump him in the priest's security room... also got surprised by a bodyguard while trying to select the italian suit to change back into because if you change into uniforms right on top of each other it's finnicky to try and line up the right one to change into...
Still, got the fucker.

Honestly, it's pretty bad compared to Absolution.
Especially considering it's much better than Absolution and there's zero real reason not to jump in now.
Dayum. Fire extinguisher?
Damn, I think I'm the only one here who nailed the bell kill
. I could swear the stairs dude would be out of the bell's range. Glad I made him go out of the room just in case. Was he at the bottom of the stairs or just going down them?Dayum. Fire extinguisher?

I honestly have no idea. I saw the priest walk in the room, confirmed he was going to stand still, then triggered it and left to get a change of clothes.
It could've been the balcony guard, I don't know, he walks down the stairs around the same time too.
On a side note, the effects for the bell falling are really impressive. Massive sense of weight.

You don't have to get SASO to count towards the suit rewards, right?

You really think they expect players to get suit only silent assassin in 10 elusive targets for a lousy suit? not way
you simply need to finish the missions.
Yeah, it really feels like heavy damn bell falling. Great effects.
I believe the suit rewards are only for killing the target successfully.

So I failed. Horribly. I decided to get drunk last night. Feeling super confident in my skills and I tried going into the catacombs(?) beneath the church. I got shot at for trying to walk up to the door that leads to it. I honestly wish I had recorded it or something.
Glitches were annoying on this Elusive Target even though I managed to do it.
Twice bodies I was dragging through the sewers randomly died for no reason. The game made a sploosh sound like they went into the water. But I was just dragging them on the ground. Even if they hit a puddle? Come on

I'm now imagining a drunk 47 waving a gun around shouting "WHERE'S THE POPE" before he's taken out by the guards

Oh! Is that it? I just assumed the body I was dragging drowned in the puddle because they were face down or something
And yeah basically what happened.

I walked through the front door and shot the chandelier in the main room when the target walked underneath it.
I think I got super lucky with the RNG on the elusive, after a few restarts.
Ran to the church. Enteedr the nearby building to grab the gardener outfit. Jumped over the wall to the garden of the church. The target is immediately ahead of me. inspecting the gardener's shed. Pulled out the Silverballer, killed him without anyone seeing me (not SA though, body found). Jumped back over the fence and went to the boat. Less than three minutes.
wait, what about the bodyguards at the front?
Remembrance

I think there's only one guy at the front who is even occasionally looking at the church interior.
I should have taken that cue for dropping the chandelier from the floor instead of getting fixated on doing it from the balcony.

I wish you could replay it after either succeeding/failing, without getting scores or whatever. Really just want to try it again.
I kinda think it's lame that people are restarting the level or trying to find workarounds... to me it takes away from what these are supposed to be.

yeah I originally expected the elusives to really only have 1 try, no restarts or anything. But I guess they weren't really able to do interesting targets with that, or they would have become too hard to do
The idea that you can scout the target I think is fine. If the narrative is that the person is in an area for 48 hours it makes sense.
Actually I wish this game had binoculars and some more tools used for sneaking.

I wish we could get a redemption weekend where they'll reopen all the targets so you get a 2nd go because I'm really kicking myself for failing The Prince so hard.
So hard.
So hard.
They will look at you for a bit, and then look straight ahead.
You can crouch and sneak in once they stop looking at you.

It's interesting how different people view playing the ET's and whether or not they should be brought back later on. I think people's play style impacts their view to some degree. For me, I have probably 3 distinct phases:
EXPLORATION: I love to explore, see where I can / not go, discover items / distractions, what I can do with them, and so on.
PLANNING: I love tailing the target, learning their habits are, getting ideas for kills and kill areas, exit planning, etc.
EXECUTION: I want to do it Silent Assassin. Then I want to do it Suit Only. Then I want to do both faster and faster, and adding in things like no subdues and specific weapons.
So when an ET comes out, I will gladly trade the 20-30 minute rush from "one time only" (I completely get this POV, it's great!) for playing the game like I always do, which means LOTS of failures / restarts / re-planning. Having the option to restart to me is akin to people's sexual preference: I simply don't care. Restart or don't restart just don't force / tell either side what to do.

Dammit. Was so close to finishing the ET. Was super easy for me actually.
the game glitched, and the prince moved back like five feet, saw me and alerted the rest of the guards. They killed me so fast that I forgot to restart.
Damn.
Started in the safe house, went down stairs picked up church key and church clothes, and walked right in.
Then went downstairs, grabbed priest outfit, and after I lured the prince's bodyguard away,

Damn.
He should go there right after talking to the priest in the middle of the church(though sometimes he goes to the garden instead).
For accuracy with the bell, just put a breaching charge on the rope, go down, and activate the charge when you see him under it

That looks like it could support the theory that you have to infiltrate a clinic in Tokyo.
His routine is random, yes. He might go there from the ground floor or from the basement.
Also, looks like a new escalation was stealth-released. You have to hide bodies after using accident kills. Sounds like another hard one.
