My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a hardcore gamer with about 30+ years
of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software, LucasArts
Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA). I also own multiple systems such
as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation
1 and 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360.

I started writing guides in 2003 because I felt it was something I could do
utilizing my writing skills gained in college and gametesting along with my
passion for vidgames. Over time I have honed my overall writing and
organization skills plus my creative thinking skills. Additionally, I have
extended the play value of the games I have written guides and FAQs for many
times over plus I have received many letters from all over the world.

I am also what one may call an RGB Analog Video enthusiast. I hack most of my
game consoles to try to get the best possible video from them and that
usually involves tapping into the RGB Analog video signals and using them on
the right monitors to achieve my desires. To this end I became a member of
the GamesX.com mod forum and I post on their "RGB + Video Discussions" forum
area from time to time.

In addition, I am a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. We
are also a group of hackers and electronics enthusiasts.

I am also a regular forum poster at GameFAQs, an occasional poster at
AtariAge, Digital Press, GTA Forums, and Video Game Saga. I am also a member
of The MoFaT (a members only message board set up by "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" players who met on the Vice City message boards at GameFAQs).

Outside of gaming, my interests include "Godzilla" (I have been a G-Fan since
the age of ten) and "Red Dwarf". I am also a long time soundtrack collector
with many titles in my possession. As far as favorite sports teams go, my
teams are the San Antonio Spurs (NBA) [the local team], the Denver Broncos
(NFL) [although I live in Texas, I am originally from Colorado Springs,
Colorado] and the Air Force Falcons (NCAA Football).

This guide was constructed using TextWrangler on an Apple Mac Mini. I view my
work in Safari to help in seeing how it would look on the web and correct
format errors.

I originally played this game on a Dell Optiplex GX270 (at 2.4Ghz) with 1GB
of RAM and on Windows XP Professional. The GX270 also uses a built-in Intel
82865G Graphics Controller and SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. I also have
a Dell Optiplex GX620 (at 3.2Ghz) with 2GB of RAM and on Windows XP
Professional. This machine also has a Galaxy GeForce GT 610 video card
installed.

The version of "Codename 47" that I have appears to be the last, latest
version known as Version 1.92 (or b192 as it will be indicated at the upper
right corner of the main title screen).

I also played this game using a wonderful little program called Xpadder V5.3,
a program that will allow you to map keyboard commands to a joypad. The
joypad I used for this game is the Xbox 360 joypad with the "Xbox 360 for
Windows" driver.

Welcome to my "Hitman: Codename 47" guide! If this is the first time you have
visited then you will find a lot of useful information in a highly organized
format that you can use to beat all of the missions of the game.

Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are presented "as is" and may include
spelling and grammatical errors.

The main emphasis of this guide is to provide creative and simple solutions
to many of the missions for this game. Many hours were spent going over each
mission and finding unique ways to solve them. I think you will be surprised
by some of the solutions found here.

This guide was written while playing the game on the Normal difficulty
setting which is what most people will probably play this game on. It is also
designed to avoid Civilian kills to make things easier for you and to get
additional money for better weapons.

This guide was also written while using the Xpadder keyboard-to-joypad
mapping program and may incorporate strategies that may only work with this
setup. If any of these strategies don't work with the standard keyboard/mouse
configuration then feel free to write me about it.

I have worked hard to make sure that this guide is as complete as possible 
but at the same time leave room for exploration. I hope that you enjoy this
guide as much as learn from it.

"Hitman: Codename 47" is the first game that features the now-popular
protagonist known as Agent 47, a clone designed for assassination work. The
game was released in 2000 for the PC which was the only platform it was
released for. Some of the missions in this game were remade for the sequel
"Contracts".

Because it is the first game of the series it certainly does not look or
sound as good as the ones that would later follow. And, of course, it does
feel a little rough around the edges but that is forgivable being that it is
the beginning of this series.

The gameplay is a little different too being that it relies a bit more on
gunplay than its successors. The mapping is nowhere as useful too but you
don't need it as much because of how the game is designed. Like with the
other games in the series I throughly enjoyed this installment. It was cool
to go and see how this all started.

I got into the "Hitman" games because of the PS2 demo of "Silent Assassin"
which was made available during the summer of 2002. I decided to load up the
demo because I was kind of bored while waiting for "Grand Theft Auto: Vice
City" to be released (fall of 2002).

But I did not expect the awesome music that graced my ears when I got to the
main menu. A fantastic orchestral piece that blew my mind. I would just let
the game sit on the menu screen so I could listen to this piece repeatedly.
After awhile I finally got into the demo and I also became impressed by the
gameplay and additional music.

From that point I became a fan of "Hitman". And it was the first time that I
got into a game series because of the music. The music was done by Jesper
Kyd, a fantastic musician who I was initially exposed to from the Sega
DreamCast game "MDK2". I now own the scores to all four "Hitman" games (and
the score to the oft-maligned "Hitman" movie - by Geoff Zanelli).

When I started writing guides I always wanted to do the "Hitman" series.
However, I wanted to start with the first game. But the game was never
released outside of the PC platform. This created a problem because I am a
Mac user and it was never released there either.

I was aware that some of the missions from this game were remade for
"Contracts" but that wasn't the same. As I was playing "Blood Money" I was
actually writing a guide in my head but it never came out because I wasn't
able to do a guide on the first game.

In 2010 I finally obtained a suitable PC and was able to play "Codename 47".
I would also start writing guides for it and all of the other "Hitman" games.

"Codename 47", which was released in 2000, was published before the arrival
of better versions of Windows including the popular Windows XP. Eidos
Interactive put out this statement on their website concerning WinXP:

0===========================================================================0
| You may not have any problem running any game published by Eidos          |
| Interactive using Windows XP. There are a few things that we want you to  |
| be aware.                                                                 |
|                                                                           |
| Many of our games were developed for Windows 95/98 long before the        |
| release of Windows XP. Many of our games were developed using the DirectX |
| API.                                                                      |
|                                                                           |
| While Windows XP does support DirectX, many hardware manufacturers may    |
| not have drivers that support the version that is included with Windows   |
| XP. It is common that some hardware drivers have not been brought up to   |
| the WHQL specifications required for Windows XP.                          |
|                                                                           |
| Thus games that use DirectX will not function correctly or at all. We can |
| only warrant and support our products when they are run using the         |
| operating system for which they were designed. These specifications are   |
| clearly listed on the product packaging or at our WEB SITE.               |
|                                                                           |
| Older DOS games (Such as Tomb Raider) will not function and are not       |
| supported.                                                                |
|                                                                           |
| Ultimately, it is the responsibility of Microsoft and/or specific         |
| hardware manufacturer to provide for backward compatibility with Windows  |
| XP; this is to insure that the device drivers are compatible. At this     |
| time we do not have plans to change our older titles to make them Windows |
| XP compatible for the reasons above.                                      |
|                                                                           |
| We realize this may be a problem for some users. If you have Windows XP   |
| on your machine, and the game will not function, your best course of      |
| action may be to return the game to the place of purchase.                |

I have had no problems running this game on my current setup (other than an
occasional crash when trying to load up the cutscene of the lab blowing up in
the mission "Say Hello to my Little Friend"). Of course, being that there are
an incredible number of different PC configurations, your mileage will
definitely vary from setup to setup. At this time I have no idea if this game
will run under either Vista or Windows 8.

It is also important to point out that I am mainly a Mac user. The PC I have
is setup to be strictly a gaming machine focusing on older games I have
always wanted to try, emulation, and gaming gadgets and tools that their
manufacturers are too damn lazy to make Mac drivers for. Hence its
designation as the "Xbox Deluxe".

Therefore my knowledge of Windows and PC hardware is basic at best so I may
not be able to help much with problems with your setup.

Being that "Codename 47" was released in 2000, current PCs and Laptops should
have no problem running the game regardless of graphical resolution and
sound. Even on old machines, seven years and older, it runs excellently.

One of my PCs, the Optiplex GX270, came out in 2004, four years after release
of the game and far exceeds the maximum specs that the title was designed
around. The integrated graphics processor (IGP) for the GX270 is the Intel(R)
82865G Graphics Controller and was aimed more towards businesses since that
is what the machine was initially designed for. So this IGP isn't geared
toward gaming and is considered fairly weak.

However, even at 1024x768, this game runs excellently even on the Intel IGP,
meaning that you don't need a dedicated video card to get the most out of
this game. So, regardless of the age of your PC and/or video card, one should
have little problem playing this game.

Most people are familiar with the game console versions of "Hitman". Many of
them who have played "Silent Assassin" through "Absolution" have not played
"Codename 47". There are some major differences between this game and those
that would follow:

  >>Graphics and Sound
    ******************
      The graphics are a bit rougher than its successors but that is to be 
      expected for a game released in 2000. However, it appears to hold up 
      pretty well. The sound is pretty decent but the voice acting, 
      especially your character, is substandard (this was improved in the 
      later games). The music, of course, is excellent.

  >>Mapping
    *******
      Those who are used to the mapping in the later "Hitman" games will find 
      that there is a lot less detail to be found in "Codename 47". The only 
      things that will show on your Map is yourself, your Pick-Up Point (if 
      applicable), and some Points of Interest.

  >>Scoring
    *******
      The only thing you are scored on is money. The less you spend, and the 
      cleaner the hit (meaning no unnecessary casualties), the more money you 
      will make. That's it. You can be as stealthy or as ballistic as you 
      like without any negative impact as long as you avoid killing Police 
      and Civilians.

  >>Kill Only
    *********
      If you need to get somebody out of the way the only way you can do this 
      is to kill them. There are no non-lethal ways to get rid of somebody in 
      this game. Non-lethal means of dealing with people was introduced in 
      "Silent Assassin".

  >>No Weapon Collecting
    ********************
      One of the fun things in later "Hitman" games was finding and 
      collecting various weapons that you could use in later missions. 
      However, that doesn't exist here. That feature was also introduced in 
      "Silent Assassin".

One major feature in "Contracts", one of the sequels to "Codename 47", is
that several missions are either inspired from or remastered versions of
missions featured in the first game. Because of the differences on scoring,
gameplay, and layout the strategies you would've normally used in "Codename
47" won't work in these remastered versions and vice versa.

  >>Asylum Aftermath
    ****************
      This mission uses the ending of the mission "Meet Your Brother" as a 
      starting point. The entire Basement floor is completely different than 
      the one used in the first game. However, the asylum itself closely 
      resembles its original counterpart but with a few minor changes.

  >>Deadly Cargo
    ************
      This mission is actually the combination of the two Rotterdam missions 
      - "Gunrunner's Paradise" and "Plutonium Runs Loose".

      The gang and strip club are taken from "Gunrunner's Paradise" and the 
      Ship and Target (even though he has a slightly different name he looks 
      almost exactly like Arkadij Jegorov (aka Boris)) are taken from 
      "Plutonium Runs Loose". Another major change is that the Dutch Police 
      and SWAT are involved.

  >>Traditions of the Trade
    ***********************
      This mission also has some major changes from the original even though 
      you can kill your Targets in almost the same way as you did in the 
      original. The Restaurant, at the west side of the hotel, is completely 
      blocked off and there are Guards patrolling the Dentist office where 
      you acquire the Chemical Bomb.

  >>The Lee Hong Missions
    *********************
      All four of the Lee Hong missions are remastered and presented. Each 
      mission has very different layouts than their originals and present 
      many different ways to accomplish your objectives.

Although the manual covers the setup pretty good, I felt that I should
include a section on controls. The game uses a keyboard/mouse configuration.
There are two types of default keyboard configurations - the Keypad and WSAD.
If the default keyboard configurations do not work for you then you can
change the configuration to whatever you so desire.

[1] - You can lean extra far by double tapping the Lean button and hold it. 
      Personally, though, I don't use the Lean function. I prefer careful 
      character placement and use of the Camera for my strategies.

| A. Xpadder |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\
0+=+=+=+=+=+=0=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0

After playing through all of the console versions of "Hitman" I found that I
could not play this game with the keyboard/mouse control setup. And there are
no official drivers to allow you to play the game with a joypad.

Thankfully a programmer named Jonathan Firth wrote a program called Xpadder
that will allow you to map keyboard commands to a joypad. I used the Xbox 360
joypad for this game and I configured it to be as close as possible to the
layout used for the Xbox 360 version of "Silent Assassin".

The current version of Xpadder is V5.7 which you have to pay money for. The
version I am using right now is V5.3 which is the last freeware version and
what most people probably have.

It is recommended that you do *NOT* play "Codename 47" in Compatibility Mode
(Windows XP) and in conjunction with Xpadder. If you do then either the game
will crash when you try to exit or it won't boot up at all. Other than that
there are no other problems.

Listed below is the recommended layout for using Xpadder with this game
(using the WSAD setup) for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 and 3
controllers:

Within the game itself Invert the Mouse and change the speed settings to what
you would be comfortable with. Your personal speed setting may vary depending
on your own requirements. In addition, the speed setting doesn't seem to
affect the speed of your aiming when using a sniper scope - only in regards
to the overall camera. I think this is a good thing.

The Run command is placed above the Left Analog Stick so it will make for
much easier navigation when running. Hold down the Run button with your left
index finger while using the Right Analog Stick for navigation.

The Next/Previous Item keys automatically bring up the Inventory List so you
don't have to reach for your keyboard.

Do *NOT* use the Cursor Keys for selecting menu items. Use the Mousewheel
Up/Down instead. The Cursor Keys do not work with Sniper Rifle zooming. The
Mousewheel will work for both menu item selection and Sniper Rifle zooming.

The ICA or The Agency, as it is often called, is the shadowy organization
that will employ you. Its main purpose is to carry out assassinations. A
powerful person, or government, who wants to take down somebody without being
connected to it will contact The Agency and an agent will be assigned to a
mission to carry out the contract.

However, sometimes there is more than just killing the Target. Most missions
often have several objectives beyond the assassination. Destruction or
retrieval of items and rescuing someone are some of the other objectives that
an agent may need to accomplish.

To make a new Profile select Start Game then select New. After that then you
type in your name and select the game difficulty. There are three difficulty
selections: Easy, Normal, and Hard.

If you select the Easy mode then you will be given five chances to complete a
mission and you take less damage when being attacked. Normal mode will give
you two chances to complete a mission and you will take more damage. Hard
mode will make you restart a mission from the very beginning if you die and
you will suffer the most damage when being attacked.

       <0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>

When you start a mission then you will go through several preliminary stages
before you begin. The first thing you are greeted with is the briefing screen
which gives you a rundown of what the mission is. It is given to you by Diana
Burnwood, your Handler from The Agency.

In the lower right corner of this screen is the arrow that will allow you to
continue after reading through this initial briefing. You will also see an
Options button that will give you the option to change settings and exit from
the game.

The round button next to the Options button will immediately send you into
the game. If you have played through this mission before then you will start
with whatever weapons started with previously.

The next screen will give you a simple listing of your objectives and reward.
At the lower right corner of the screen is a button with a magnifying glass.
Clicking on this will allow you to get more details of your objectives.

The next screen will give you a basic rundown of your current Target. Again,
there is a button at the lower right corner of the screen that will give you
more detail about your Target.

The next screen will show you the Map of where the mission will take place.
You are represented by a green circle with a pointer indicating direction.
Other objects and people of interest will be designated with either a blue or
orange circle.

Places where you can acquire additional weapons will be represented by a
square with a pistol icon. And the Map always points north which is useful
for when you don't bring a Compass and you need to use the Map to gain your
bearings.

In the upper left corner of the Map is a hand icon. Clicking on it will allow
you to move the Map around by putting the cursor on the Map then holding the
Left Mouse Button down while moving the mouse around.

Right underneath the hand icon is the magnifying glass icon. Clicking on it
will allow you to zoom in on various areas of the Map by putting the cursor
near where you want to zoom in then hold down the Left Mouse Button and move
up to zoom in and pull back to zoom out.

There may be multiple floors or levels to a Map and they can be accessed by
the list under the magnifying glass icon. There may be other icons on the Map
as well. Icons like ladders, sewer openings, gates, switches, and "!" which
indicates something of interest.

The last screen you will come to is the Equipment Screen which will allow you
to purchase weapons and items that you may want and need for the mission. And
that leads to the next chapter.....

Weapons are the tools of the trade for any professional contractor. There are
many different weapons that can be used to perform your work. There are also
additional items that are useful. By the name of each item is an information
symbol which will allow you to get a closer look at it and provide a little
more information.

Unlike with the later "Hitman" games you cannot increase the ammo for a
weapon by picking up another one of the same kind. You will simply add
another one to your Inventory.

For example, if you pick up four Uzis, then you will have four Uzis in your
Inventory. This means that if you use one of the Uzis then you will have to
drop it and use another one when you run out of ammo for it. The only way to
increase ammo for a weapon during a mission is to find ammo clips for it.

The information on each weapon and item is broken down as follows (if
applicable):

  --Cost: How much the weapon or item costs.
  --Ammo: How much the ammo costs and how many are in a clip.
  --Magazine Capacity: How many rounds the magazine of the weapon holds.
  --Maximum Ammo: The maximum amount of ammunition you can purchase. It 
                  should be noted that this does not mean the maximum amount 
                  of ammo you can carry for that weapon. You can usually find 
                  additional ammo in the field.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --Notes: Information on the weapon or item.

| Melee Weapons \
0============================================================>

  These weapons are the most silent weapons to use. However, you need to get 
  up behind a person for them to be most effective.

    >>Oyabun/Pentagon Knife
      =====================
        Cost: $65/$50.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This is a standard combat knife. Its main use is to slit the 
               throat of a person from behind.

               In real life slitting a throat will leave behind quite a mess 
               as your victim bleeds out all over the place. However, this 
               isn't an issue as your victim just drops bloodlessly to the 
               ground.

               This is the best up-close weapon because you can quickly kill 
               a person and Holster the weapon before anybody can become 
               suspicious. However, the main problem with it is that you risk 
               having the victim make noise as you are killing him which can 
               attract unnecessary attention.

               To prevent this then you should be in Sneak Mode so you can 
               totally surprise your victim.

    >>Fibre Wire
      ==========
        Cost: $110.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This is a specially made weapon using a very strong fiber 
               wire. Its main use is to strangulate your victim from behind.

               The best feature about this weapon is that, because you are 
               strangulating your victim, he will not make any noise as you 
               are attacking him. Another feature is that it will not trigger 
               metal detectors.

               The main drawback to using this weapon is that it takes time 
               to kill your victim during which you are vulnerable to being 
               seen.

0========0
| Pistols \
0============================================================>

  These easily concealable weapons can take down people from a distance. 
  However, they tend to make a lot of noise which will attract unwanted 
  attention.

    >>AMT 1911 "Hardballer"
      =====================
        Based on: .45 ACP Colt M1911.
        Cost: $550.
        Ammo: $5 per clip (15 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 7 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 150 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This semi-automatic pistol packs a decent punch but has a 
               small magazine. This weapon is considered the signature 
               handgun of the "Hitman" series.
    >>Beretta 92
      ==========
        Cost: $475.
        Ammo: $10 per clip (15 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 15 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 150 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This handgun, which shares ammo with the Hardballer, has a 
               much larger magazine. This weapon also sounds a little less 
               loud as well.

               Another version of the Beretta 92, the Beretta 92SD (Cost: 
               $775), is exactly the same as the regular 92 but it is 
               silenced. If you need a handgun to take with you then this is 
               the best one to have if it is available to purchase.

    >>Desert Eagle Mark XIX
      =====================
        Cost: $1,200.
        Ammo: $6 per clip (7 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 7 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 130 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This gun has the largest caliber of ammunition of all of the 
               handguns making it very powerful. Unfortunately, it also makes 
               it very loud and you will attract unwanted guests in hurry. 
               And, like the Hardballer, it also has a small magazine.

0=================0
| Sub-Machine Guns \
0============================================================>

  These easily concealable weapons can clear out an area of bad guys in a 
  hurry. They also use the same ammo (SMG Ammo).

    >>Israeli Military Industries UZI
      ===============================
        Cost: $900.
        Ammo: $22 per clip (32 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 32 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 150 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This weapon has a decent rate of fire but tends to be 
               inaccurate at anything beyond medium distance. Short, 
               controlled bursts will help you to conserve ammo.

    >>Heckler & Koch MP5
      ==================
        Cost: $2,200.
        Ammo: $21 per clip (30 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 150 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This submachine gun is better than the Uzi because it is more 
               accurate and has a better rate of fire. Even better is the 
               Heckler & Koch MP5SD (Cost: $2,700) which is the silenced 
               version of the MP5.

0===============0
| Assault Rifles \
0============================================================>

  These large machine guns will be useful in medium to long distance 
  firefights but cannot be concealed. Care must be taken when carrying these 
  things around lest you blow your cover (unless you are properly disguised).

    >>Kalashnikov AK47
      ================
        Cost: $700.
        Ammo: $30 per clip (30 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 100 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This is by far the most popular weapon in the world owing to 
               the fact that it is the most rugged, durable, and reliable 
               machine gun of its kind. However, the loose tolerances that 
               allow the weapon to be so durable also makes it inaccurate at 
               long distances.

    >>M16A2
      =====
        Cost: $600.
        Ammo: $24 per clip (30 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 100 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: Although this weapon has a smaller caliber than the AK47 this 
               is the better machine gun due to a faster rate of fire and 
               much higher accuracy.

0=========0
| Shotguns \
0============================================================>

  These weapons are very powerful in close combat situations. However, they 
  are very noisy, weak in medium to long range combat, and cannot be 
  concealed. Generally I tend to stay away from these weapons for those 
  reasons.

    >>Mossberg Persuader Shotgun
      ==========================
        Cost: $285.
        Ammo: $1 per round.
        Magazine Capacity: 1 round.
        Maximum Ammo: 50 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This shotgun fires one shot at a time which makes makes it 
               tough to use on multiple enemies.

    >>Franchi PA3/215
      ===============
        Cost: $350.
        Type: Pump-Action Shotgun (12 Gauge Caliber).
        Ammo: $6 per clip (8 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 8 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 50 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This weapon is the precursor of the more famous S.P.A.S 12 
               shotgun featured in games like "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City". 
               Packs the same punch as the Mossberg Persuader Shotgun but has 
               the distinct advantage of being able to fire multiple rounds 
               before reloading.

0==============0
| Sniper Rifles \
0============================================================>

  These weapons are used to kill people from long distance. They are best 
  used when way out of sight distance so you don't get discovered when taking 
  down someone.

  To use a Sniper Rifle press the Fire key to bring up the scope then use the 
  Mousewheel to go through the three levels of zoom. Then press Fire again to 
  fire the weapon.

  You will notice that your scope will bob up and down. The more you sit 
  still, the more it will stabilize. This is important to know so you can 
  make a good shot at someones head.

    >>Blaser Jagdwaffen R93 Sniper
      ============================
        Cost: $1,550.
        Ammo: $2 per round.
        Magazine Capacity: 1 round.
        Maximum Ammo: 50 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This is the main Sniper Rifle that you will see the most in 
               "Codename 47". It has a range of 800m and fires one shot at a 
               time.

    >>Walther WA2000 Sniper
      =====================
        Cost: $9,525.
        Ammo: $12 per clip (6 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 6 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 50 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: Only 176 of these rifles were ever made because it was too 
               expensive to achieve widespread sales of the weapon. This 
               makes it a rare and valuable collectable.

               Although it uses a slightly smaller caliber than the R93 the 
               WA2000 is better because of its range which is 1,000m, 200 
               meters more than the R93, and the fact that you can fire 
               multiple shots before needing to reload.

               It should be noted, though, caliber doesn't really matter if 
               you manage to put the round between the eye sockets of your 
               intended victim.

               This weapon also becomes the signature Sniper Rifle of the 
               "Hitman" games.

0==============0
| Heavy Weapons \
0============================================================>

  These two large heavy weapons are very powerful and use the same ammunition 
  (7.62mm rounds) but they cannot be concealed.

    >>US Army M60
      ===========
        Cost: $1,900.
        Ammo: $50 per clip (50 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 50 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 300 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: The M60 is a very powerful belt fed large machine gun that 
               normally is handled by two people - one to fire and one to 
               handle the ammo belt. However, in this game, you handle it 
               just like any machine gun. It is about as accurate than the 
               M16 and is certainly more powerful.

               There are only two drawbacks to this weapon. First, it is 
               pretty loud so expect more Guards to come calling if you use 
               it. And second, this weapon only appears during the Columbia 
               chapter of the story.

    >>M134 Minigun
      ============
        Cost: $10,750.
        Ammo: $1,000 per clip (1,000 rounds).
        Magazine Capacity: 1,000 rounds.
        Maximum Ammo: 6,000 rounds.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Notes: This large gatling-style machine gun is the most powerful 
               weapon in the game. It spits ammo like there's no tomorrow and 
               very little can stand up to it. In real life, this weapon is 
               often attached to vehicles and cannot be carried by a person. 
               But, just like with the M60, you have no problems lugging this 
               thing with you.

               There are a couple of major drawbacks though. The first is 
               that it takes nearly two seconds from the time you hold down 
               Fire to actually shoot the weapon. This is because the barrel 
               needs to start spinning before it can shoot bullets.

               So, by the time you start shooting, your target either has 
               moved out of the way or killed you. Not good.

               But there is a commonly known trick to get around that. 
               Quickly tap the Left Mouse Button to spin the barrel without 
               firing. This way you can fire immediately when you fire again. 
               But you need re-spin the barrel before making another attack.

               Another downside to the Minigun is that you move very slowly 
               while carrying it. This makes you very vulnerable to attack. 
               However, there is another commonly known trick to get around 
               that. In order to speed yourself up when carrying this weapon 
               you must Holster it first.

               But you can't use the Holster key to do it or you will drop 
               the weapon. You must use the Holster option in the Inventory 
               List to properly Holster this weapon so you can move faster.

               These two tricks are very useful in the one mission where you 
               need to use this weapon.

In this sub-chapter are the weapons and equipment that only appear in certain
missions:

  >>Car Bomb w/Remote Detonator
    ***************************
      Used during: "Ambush at the Wang Fou Restaurant".
      Cost: $3,000.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Notes: These are Remote detonated C4-Explosives. After you plant it 
             then bring out the Detonator and use the Fire key to activate.

  >>GPS Transmitter and Receiver
    ****************************
      Used during: "Gunrunner's Paradise".
      Cost: $4,000 (Transmitter) - Receiver is no cost.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Notes: This is a transmitter/receiver device that is used for tracking 
             targets. When the transmitter is planted then you use either the 
             Receiver or your Map to track the target.

  >>Car Bomb
    ********
      Used during: "Plutonium Runs Loose".
      Cost: None - found in Weapons Depot.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Notes: This device is very similar to the Car Bomb w/Remote Detonator 
             except that it is detonated by the victim when he tries to start 
             the engine of the vehicle.

In this sub-chapter are the standard equipment that can be useful in most
situations:

  >>Kevlar Body Armor
    *****************
      Cost: $900.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Notes: This is worn around the torso and will offer some protection 
             against bullet fire. However, this only protects the torso not 
             the arms, legs, and head. Therefore it is possible to still die 
             from head and extremity wounds without losing any armor at all. 
             But some protection is still better than no protection at all.

  >>Compass
    *******
      Cost: $80.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Notes: This little device will help when dealing with large Maps. 
             However, this does not automatically activate when you start a 
             mission. You must manually activate it from the Inventory List.

  >>Binoculars
    **********
      Cost: $750.
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Notes: This will allow you to scope out areas before proceeding. You 
             use it like a Sniper Rifle in that you "shoot" it to activate 
             and use the movement keys to zoom in and out.

When you have selected what you need then click on the arrow in the lower
right corner of the screen to begin your mission.....

Your Main Screen is where all of the action in "Codename 47" take place. In
the center of your screen is your main character. You use the keyboard/mouse
or Xpadder/joypad to move him around and manipulate the Camera.

In the upper left corner of the Main Screen is where your Health, Body Armor,
Compass, and Actions are displayed. In the upper right corner of the Main
Screen you will find your Selected Items Display, Ammo (when you use certain
weapons), and your Inventory List (when activated).

In the center of your screen will be a large white dot which is the Cursor.
It will become a Crosshair when you pull out any kind of weapon.

When you get close enough to certain objects then you will see a prompt in
the Action Window, in the upper left corner, to indicate what action you can
take with it such as taking it or using it. Special prompts will also appear
in the Action Window when certain events occur.

The Action Window will display certain prompts and information as you proceed
through the mission:

| Action (White)     | This proximity alert will tell you of what action    |
|                    | you can take such as picking up an object, opening   |
|                    | and closing doors, or dragging bodies.               |

|                    | or not you may have blown your cover.                |
0===========================================================================0

When your cursor gets near certain objects then you may see a small white and
blue square appear by it. This is the Pointer Menu and it can be activated by
pressing the Right Mouse Button. It will list certain actions that may not be
immediately available in the Action Window. In most cases it is easier to use
the Pointer Menu to pick up or manipulate objects rather than use the Action
Window.

       <0+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<<##0##>>+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+0>

To use any weapon or item you must first bring up the Inventory List,
displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, by using either the
Previous or Next Item Key. Use these keys to highlight what weapon or item
you wish to use then press the Left Mouse Button to pull it out. If you are
pulling out a weapon then you can also attack immediately when you bring it
out.

You may notice that when you have the Inventory List up then your Cursor will
disappear. If you are planning to use a gun to aim and shoot someone then aim
first before bringing up the list.

As you go about the mission then you will see both Guards and Civilians move
about the area. Although everybody appears to be moving randomly there is
nothing random about their movements. The most important thing to know about
this game, as well as the other "Hitman" games, is that everybody, Guards and
Civilians alike, move in very specific patterns.

It is very important to note these patterns as it can make the difference
between success and failure. When you first play a mission then it is best to
take your time and observe everything so you can get the feel of how
everybody moves before doing anything of importance.

One way to break a pattern is if a body is discovered. Either the Guard will
stand there (possibly making him easier to attack) or go back to his pattern
as though nothing has happened (and leave the body alone). As you can see,
the Guards aren't exactly known for their smarts. This is, obviously, to your
advantage.

Placing yourself in the exact spot in the patrol pattern of a Guard can make
it much easier to take him down without fuss and where you don't need to move
the body (or be much closer to a place where you can drag him). Or waiting
for the precise moment when a Civilian goes around a corner so you can take
down a Guard without being seen.

The overall goal of a given mission is to get close to your Target and kill
him with little fanfare as possible. There are situations where you need to
quietly dispose of someone that may get in your way later. The quietest way
to get rid of someone is to get behind him and then use the Knife/Fibre Wire
to take him down.

The main thing to know is that if you get behind someone and pull out any
weapon then they will hear you pulling it out and you may alert him (even if
you are in the process of killing him). This can lead to problems, especially
if he makes any noise.

However, if you enter Sneak Mode, in which case you will crouch, you will
move about slowly and silently. Most importantly, you will also be able to
pull out any weapon without anybody hearing it even if you are up against
someone. And, of course, your victim won't be able to make any noise since
you will completely surprise him when you attack.

During the course of the guide you will see three specific Melee Attack
words: Knife, Slash, and Wire. They pertain to certain methods of Melee
Attacks:

0===========================================================================0
| Knife | This is the melee attack method I use the most as it is the       |
|       | fastest. Below are the moves involved in the method:              |
|       |                                                                   |
|       |   --Get up behind a STATIONARY target.                            |
|       |   --Highlight the KNIFE in your Inventory List.                   |
|       |   --Enter Sneak Mode.                                             |
|       |   --Press the Left Mouse Button to quickly bring out the Knife    |
|       |     and use it to kill your target.                               |
|       |   --Immediately Holster your weapon and get out of Sneak Mode.    |
|       |                                                                   |
|       | Depending on how you set up your controls, regardless of whether  |
|       | or not you use Xpadder, you can Holster your Knife and get out of |
|       | Sneak Mode before your victim hits the ground.                    |
|-------+-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Slash | This method also involves the Knife but this is done with a       |
|       | MOVING target such as a patrolling Guard. Get up right against    |
|       | his backside and walk with him, highlight the Knife, then quickly |
|       | press the Left Mouse Button to pull out the weapon and attack     |
|       | before he can make any noise and immediately Holster the Knife.   |
|-------+-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Wire  | This is the exact same method as the Knife but you use the Fibre  |
|       | Wire instead. There are certain situations where the Fibre Wire   |
|       | may be better for melee attacking than the Knife.                 |

After killing your victim then you should drag him to a secluded area so he
isn't found by other Guards and Civilians. To drag a body you need to be
close enough to the body to get the action to appear in the Action Window or
place the cursor on the body so you get the Pointer Menu prompt. Then
activate the Pointer Menu and select Drag.

At this point you will grab the body and start to drag it behind you. This
will slow you down a lot and you will risk being seen. So it is important to
either kill him near a place where you can hide the body or kill him in a
secluded area so you don't have to drag the body at all.

In addition to Guards you must also keep your eye out on innocent Civilians
and Police. If any Civilian sees you doing something out of the ordinary,
like moving a dead body, then that person will become alarmed and go to alert
the Guards or Police.

You can kill Civilians if you want but that is generally frowned upon by The
Agency since it will make the scene harder to clean up. It is definitely a
bad idea to kill any Police officer since it makes it very difficult for the
cleaner to do his job.

Therefore it is important to keep your eyes open for Civilians and Police
before taking down somebody or entering a restricted area.

In most missions you will need to get a disguise to enter restricted access
areas and get close to your Target. Usually this is done by killing a Guard
and taking his clothes. As long as you do not do anything out of the ordinary
then you will be seen as a Guard and you can move freely about. If any other
Guards see the body of the dead Guard you switched clothes with then they
will become suspicious.

The best way to get around that, other than by hiding the dead body properly
in the first place, is to change clothes. Even if it looks exactly the same
as what you were wearing before then that should be enough to get them off
your case (but you must not be seen changing clothes or your cover will be
blown).

It is also important that the body you changed clothes with is not found or
the Guards will start looking for somebody dressed as the dead person
(meaning: you).

Sometimes you will see Guards with weapons drawn. You can do the same but
only if the weapon is similar to the weapons the other Guards are carrying.
If your weapon is different then your cover is blown and you will be
attacked. You can also safely attack people with firearms as long as you are
isolated with your victim. If you are seen attacking someone then your cover
will be blown.

If you are isolated and you attract the attention of a Guard then, as long as
the weapon drawn matches the Guards or you have Holstered it, then you should
be okay because either you look like an ordinary Civilian who has discovered
a dead body or a Guard who has come to investigate.

This can be useful for planning additional attacks by luring Guards for safe
disposal. One nice trick while changing clothes - if you move your character
when he is changing clothes then you will be immediately dressed.

Sometimes things just go very badly and you will end up dying. If you are
playing the game on Easy or Normal mode then you will placed some distance
away from where you died and start again from there. However, whatever Guards
you may have alerted are still near where you died and you will have to fight
them again.

If you are playing the game on Hard then you will have to completely restart
from the beginning when you die. This also happens when you run out of
chances in the other two difficulty modes.

Then there are times that you fail the mission because you let somebody get
away or kill a necessary person. In this case you can restart the mission by
holding down the Shift key and pressing Esc.

After the mission is carried out then you will be given your reward. The
amount of money you spent on weapons and equipment for the mission will be
deducted from your reward. In addition, a cleaner will be sent in to make
sure that the hit is not traced back to The Agency.

If the hit is clean then no additional money will be deducted from your
reward. If you kill a Civilian, then some money will be deducted so the
cleaner can bribe officials and journalists to clean up the mess.

The cost for unnecessary casualties is $5,000 per kill. If kill too many
Civilians and Police then the cleaner will come after you. So it is essential
to avoid killing innocents.

Another important point to make is that even if a Guard kills a Civilian that
happens to be in the crossfire then it will still count against you so avoid
that as well. Making clean hits will also allow you to save up money so you
can purchase more powerful weapons in later missions.

The game will automatically save after each mission. It will also save the
weapon and equipment choices you made so you can use them again in another
attempt.

As noted earlier, your score is based solely on how much money you make. The
best way to make money is usually buying as little as possible before going
on a mission. On some of the missions there are two strategies employed.

The first is the Standard Strategy. This involves bringing certain weapons
and equipment to make the mission easier to perform.

The second is what I call the Cheap Strategy. This involves bringing only the
Knife or nothing at all. This also includes not bringing Body Armor, the
Compass, and the Binoculars.

This can add a bit of challenge on a few of the missions. It is recommended
that you play through a mission using the Standard Strategy before trying the
Cheap way. On some missions there is only a minor difference between the two
strategies so they are combined and the differences noted as the mission
progresses.

The maximum amount of money you can make by the time you reach the mission
"The Setup" is $275,755.

This is the Standard strategy that uses certain weapons and equipment to make
things easier. There is also a Cheap strategy designed to make as much money
as possible by allowing for only bringing the Knife or nothing at all and
using only what is found on the mission to complete your objectives.

With that explained, I will now finally move on to the story.....

This level is pretty straightforward. Simply follow the instructions given as
you learn to how to use the controls. This level is especially useful for
Xpadder users as it gives you an opportunity to fine tune the controls,
especially with mouse sensitivity.

At one point you will be made to jump from one platform to another which is
done by just going up to the railing and moving forward. There is only one
mission where this move is required.

Near the end, after you mess around with the Sniper Rifle, you will need to
go up the nearby Elevator. On the next floor is a Guard. You need to kill
this Guard to proceed further otherwise he will use his stun gun on you and
you will have to restart this level. Use any pistol and kill him from the
Elevator.

Then go to his body and Change Clothes. Holster your weapon and leave through
the nearby door. From here, the next Guard will let you through the next
door.

After going through the next door then go to the next one which will let you
leave. As you leave you will be treated to a cutscene of a shadowy figure who
appears to be satisfied with your escape.

It is now one year after your escape. You are now employed by the
International Contract Agency and have been sent off to Hong Kong for your
first major assignment.

Your Target is Lee Hong, leader of one of the most powerful crime syndicates
in China, the Red Dragon Triad. As you would imagine he is well protected by
not only his gang but by the Chief of Police who is on his payroll. In
addition, the Red Dragon are also rivals of another long time crime
syndicate, the Blue Lotus Triad. The Chief of Police helps keep a fragile
truce between the two groups so everyone can prosper in peace.

The Agency has a plan in place to make getting at Lee Hong easier. It
involves starting a war between the two groups and removing the Chief of
Police to remove Police protection.

There are four missions total, three are to instigate a war and remove Police
protection and the fourth to kill Lee Hong and complete this major objective.

Your first mission here in Hong Kong is to kill the Red Dragon Negotiator who
is meeting with a Blue Lotus representative. It is believed that killing the
Negotiator will anger the Red Dragon enough to start a war with the Blue
Lotus.

The Target will have the traditional Red Dragon insignia on the back of his
jacket. In addition, you will be given your $13,000 reward up front so you
can spend it on the necessary equipment to use on this and future missions.

For this method you should buy the Blaser Jagdwaffen R93 Sniper plus one
bullet. When you buy the weapon then you will automatically be given one
bullet so the bullet you buy will be considered insurance against a miss.

When you start the mission then head west while running, go north into an
narrow alley so you can get to the main street, turn east along the main
street, turn north at the next intersection, and then go into the alley where
the *EAST* Elevator is at.

Enter the Elevator and head to the roof. When you reach the roof then stay in
the Elevator and bring out the R93 while leaving the case inside. Head to the
west edge of the roof and wait for the Negotiators to appear. From your
vantage point you should be looking at the backside of the Red Dragon
Negotiator.

Snipe him in the head then run to the Elevator. At this point you should see
a helicopter appear on the scene with a nasty looking gunman wielding an M60.

However, by the time he appears, you should be safely back in the Elevator.
Pick up the Sniper Case, which "holsters" the R93, then head back down and
walk back the same way you came and to where you started to successfully
complete this mission.

You will need the Oyabun Knife for this method as there are no weapons to
find on this Map.

When you start the mission then head to an east-west alley near the northeast
corner of the park. It should have two small trash cans near the entrance.
Wait for the first limo to come up. This limo will have several Guards and
the Negotiator. Four of the Guards will split up and go to two of the park
entrances.

Another Guard will head in your direction. As he is nearing you the other
limo, with the Red Dragon Negotiator, will pull up. Like the other limo it
will also have several Guards. Four of them will head to the other two park
entrances and another one will head north into the alley.

When the Guard enters the alley you are in then follow him closely, wait for
him to get past the two trash cans, and then Slash him (picking up the Uzi is
optional). Go back out into the street and head west to the limo that the Red
Dragon Negotiator came in (which is by the north park entrance).

Stand by the passenger door, but not too close, and look east toward the
alley where you left the body. Eventually one of the wandering Civilians will
discover the body in the alley and come to alert the Guards near you.

One of the Guards will leave to investigate. As he does then rotate left so
you are looking at the limo and ready your Knife in your Inventory List. When
you get the notice that the Guard has found the dead body then the other
nearby Guard will run to the alley. At the same time the Red Dragon
Negotiator will run to the limo.

He will stop in front of you as he begins to open the door. When he does then
quickly Slash him then turn left and run west for the alley at the end of the
street. Even though the Guards are warned they didn't see you kill the
Negotiator so they won't fire on you (of course, using a Knife instead of a
noisy firearm also helps).

Another option to killing the Red Dragon is to stand on the sidewalk at the
southeast corner of the limo, look west, and highlight the Uzi from the
Inventory List (if you picked up the weapon from the dead Guard). When the
Red Dragon Negotiator gets to the door then quickly pull out the Uzi and kill
him.

This, of course, will alert the Guards and will start to shoot you from
behind. Just run like hell to the alley at the end of the street while
occasionally angling left or right to keep the Guards from getting a good
bead on you.

Once you get to the next street after you go through the alley then turn left
and follow it all the way back to your Pick-Up Point to successfully complete
this mission.

The Blue Lotus Triad are afraid that Lee Hong has blamed them for the death
of his Negotiator. The Blue Lotus are planning to send an Emissary to Lee
Hong's Restaurant to apologize for the attack.

The Agency wants you to assassinate the Emissary and his Guards which will
make it look like a counter hit from Lee Hong. This will further destabilize
the situation. They will be arriving in an armored Limousine and the Agency
suggests that you use a Remote Bomb to complete your objective.

In addition, there will also be Blue Lotus Guards stationed away from the
Restaurant. They need to be killed too.

Another simple and straightforward mission. That is, if you do it the

0===========================================================================0
|====================| Mission Walkthrough (Standard) |=====================|

For this method you will need the Oyabun Knife and the Car Bomb w/Remote
Detonator.

When you start the mission then you need to run to the Sewer Grating in the
middle of this area. From your starting point, run into the alley and stop at
the Grating. Then look north at the wall. As you are doing this, the Target
will appear and stop at the Restaurant. The Chauffer will then leave and head
toward your position.

What he will do is stop in front of you on the Grating and relieve himself.
You will need to kill him and take his Outfit. Even though he is a Chauffer
he is also a Guard and you can kill him without any penalty.

However, another Civilian will be present in the alley, going from west to
east behind you, and you need to wait for him to leave before you can kill
the Chauffer. While you are waiting for this Civilian to leave you should
bring up the Inventory List and highlight the Knife.

Look east and wait for the Civilian to turn the corner before attacking the
Chauffer. Slash the Chauffer and drag his body to the open Grating. The best
thing to do is to go up against the wall as you are dragging the body then,
as you are next to the opening, rotate yourself so the body is covering the
opening and let go so he can fall in then fall down with him.

After you do that then Change Clothes and climb out. You can also get a
Beretta from the Chauffer as well if you want. From here, head to the Limo.
Hopefully the nearby Guard has walked away from the Limo so you can do what
you need to do.

Get to the drivers side of the Limo, pull out the bomb, and use the Pointer
Menu to allow you to plant the bomb. After that, then head back into the
alley. At this point you should see a notice that your Target is leaving the
Restaurant.

Head to the sidewalk near your car then look east. You should see three Blue
Lotus members at the street curve ahead of you (with a fourth around the
corner and out of view). Pull out the Detonator and wait.

The goal is to wait until the Limo is in the right position before
detonating. You want the explosion to kill not only those inside the vehicle
but those at the street curve which will complete all of your objectives.

After awhile you should see the Limo come into view and head east toward the
street curve where the other members are at. Wait just before the Limo gets
into the curve before detonating.

There is a short delay between pressing the button and the explosion. So, if
you time it right, then the explosion should occur right when the Limo gets
into the curve which will kill everybody. Then simply head to your car to
successfully complete the mission.

For this method you don't need to bring anything. As crazy as it sounds you
can actually do this without bringing in any outside weapons. Because of all
of the Guards it is easily the hardest mission to do cheaply. To successfully
do this mission in this manner you pretty much have to kill everybody except
the three wandering Civilians.

There are a total of eleven Red Dragon members in this level. Two
Uzi-wielding members at the northwest corner, two Shotgun-wielding members at
the northeast corner, two in front of the Restaurant, four inside the
Restaurant, and one that goes around the Map in a counterclockwise pattern.

In addition, there are four Blue Lotus members at the southeast corner, one
that Guards the Limo, one Chauffer (who is also a Guard), and three inside
the Restaurant (including the Emissary).

You have to deal with them in a specific way in order to be successful. This
is because the Emissary tends to flee at the slightest sign of trouble.
However, you can significantly increase your chances of success if you kill
the Chauffer as early as possible.

When you start the mission then head west and find the short dead-end alley
at the southwest corner of the Map. At the end you will find an R93 Sniper
Rifle and a clip of Sniper Ammo (this will give you seven rounds). Grab the
Sniper Ammo but not the Rifle. Turn around and look east out of the alley.

Wait for the cutscene of the arrival to start then press Esc and continue to
wait. You should see a Civilian walking from left to right on the street
beyond the alley. After he passes then grab the Rifle and head to the
entrance of the alley but *DON'T* go out. Instead angle northeast to find the
Red Dragon member standing at the southeast corner of the road intersection.

Zoom in on him and nail him in the head. The other Red Dragon member will
come closer to investigate. Nail him in the head too. Stay zoomed in and wait
for the sound cues that tell you that the wandering Red Dragon member has
discovered the bodies. Wait for him to turn the corner then nail him in the
head. Then drop the Rifle.

It is important that you need to use just three shots for this part since you
will need to use the Rifle later in this mission.

Go over to the bodies and look out toward the Limo. Keep an eye on the Blue
Lotus member guarding the vehicle. If his back is to you then go and collect
at least two of the Uzis dropped.

If he is not then wait for him to come to investigate and turn his back
before collecting weapons. Also keep an eye out for the Chauffer who is
arriving back at the Limo after relieving himself. You may also need to wait
for him to come to investigate before finishing up with weapon collecting.

After acquiring all three Uzis then head to the Sewer Grating and wait. The
Chauffer will eventually come back here again to relieve himself.

Enter Sneak Mode, aim the cursor at his head, then pull out an Uzi and cap
him. Then Holster it, get out of Sneak Mode, grab the Chauffer's Beretta 92,
and head to the end of the alley to the east. Stay just inside the alley and
look northeast to find one of the two Shotgun-wielding Red Dragon members.
Pull out an Uzi but *DON'T* fire.

Instead, let him see you with it then quickly turn around and go to the
north-south alley nearby. This will lure him into the alley where you can
safely dispose of him using the wall corner as cover. Poke around the corner
and kill him with a short burst then quickly Holster your Uzi. This will
attract the attention of one of the Blue Lotus members at the southeast
corner of the Map.

He will come into the alley and actually run up to you since you do not have
a weapon out. Whip out an Uzi and quickly kill him then Holster again and
grab his Uzi and Holster it. Another Blue Lotus member will run up to you and
you can repeat the process.

Keep an eye on your Uzi ammo. Switch to another one when the ammo gets very
low. As long as the Blue Lotus members don't see you firing at someone then
you shouldn't cause the Emissary to flee. At least three of the four Blue
Lotus members from the southeast corner should come up to the alley one at a
time as you kill each one. But you need to do something else before you can
get the last one.

Bring out an Uzi and creep to the end of the alley. You still need to get rid
of the other Shotgun-wielding Red Dragon. Poke out just enough to draw his
attention then go back around the corner and use it as cover when you kill
him as he gets into view.

After killing him then go through and drop any Uzi with low ammo. Then head
to the southeast corner of the Map to find the lone Blue Lotus member. Get
behind him, enter Sneak Mode, pull out the Baretta 92, and cap him. Then drop
the handgun and pick up his Uzi.

From here, head back to where you dropped the Sniper Rifle (which, if you
were good in your aiming, should have four rounds remaining). Then go to the
large red semi at the south side of the Map. Go just east of that and stop
just before you get to a tree and look north. You should now be looking north
through a long north-south alley. At the north end is the Restaurant.

Go into Zoom Mode and you should see the Limo Guard and the two stationary
Red Dragon members. Aim at the head of the Red Dragon on the left but *DON'T*
shoot him. Instead, after you aim at his head, move your scope left so you
are aiming at the top of the doorknob on the right side of the door. Then it
is just a matter of waiting.

Don't worry about the frightened Civilians. They're not going to be able to
warn the remaining Guards. It will take some time but eventually the Emissary
will finish his business and leave. The door will then open and he will walk
into the Crosshairs. Fire one shot at his head to kill him.

Then wait for everybody to settle down. However, two Blue Lotus members will
stay inside the Restaurant.

Look for the Limo Guard and nail him in the head. Then nail at least one, if
not both, of the stationary Guards depending on how much ammo you have.
Notice how they're just standing around like idiots as you pick off their
friends. Not exactly the brightest crayons in the box.

Drop your empty Rifle and use your Uzis to kill any surviving exterior
Guards. Go to the door that the Emissary went through and open it. Let
yourself be seen by the Guards then run for the alley just southeast of the
entrance.

Lure the Guards into the alley and use the corner near the sewer grating as
cover as you pick them off (at least one of the remaining Blue Lotus members
may follow you too). After killing all of the Guards then head back to the
Restaurant entrance but to the other door.

Go to the door, look northwest, and open it. Slowly sidestep right to find at
least one, if not both, of the remaining Blus Lotus members. Quickly kill
them with your Uzi to finish things off.

If you take the time to explore the Restaurant lobby before leaving you will
find a small storage room with *LOTS* of Sniper Ammo. Lot of good that'll do
you now, right? And of you're thinking about it, no - there is no safe way
into this room. No disguise (Red Dragon, Blue Lotus, Chauffer) can prevent
you from getting shot at if you try to enter the Restaurant.

After killing everybody off then head back to your Pick-Up Point to
successfully complete this mission.

A full-scale war between the Triads has now begun and that has upset the
Chief of Police who is on both Triad's payroll. He has called a truce meeting
to be held in a small Restaurant on neutral ground.

For this mission you need to not only kill the Chief of Police but make it
look like it was done by the Red Dragon which will implicate Lee Hong
further. Dressing up as a Red Dragon and leaving behind a Red Dragon Amulet
will help in this cause.

To acquire the Red Dragon Amulet and Outfit you must intercept and kill the
Red Dragon Negotiator before he can reach the Restaurant. If the mission is
successful then the Police protection will be removed and Lee Hong will be
easier to assassinate.

0=======================================================>

There are two levels to this Map - Inside and Outside. The Inside is what is
inside the Restaurant. The Outside Map has three sewer openings, in red, that
are of the most interest. The two ladders are fenced in and cannot be
accessed.

| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

This mission is a little trickier but still straightforward.

If you had thought about just entering through the window without getting the
key first then you will find that the door will be locked so you can't ambush
the Chief that way. In addition, you'll be chased out by the Chief and end up
back outside.

And you really can't wait until everybody shows up since you need to stash
the Red Dragon body and get the Amulet before he gets to the Restaurant. You
also need to be dressed as the Red Dragon too or the meeting will be
cancelled the moment you climb in the window if you are still dressed in your
standard Suit.

According to one my readers, Andrej, you may be able to do this mission
without bringing in any weapons:

  "Run towards restaurant, pick up key, head towards kitchen and wait. After 
   the info about arriving targets displays, let the cook go 10x around the 
   kitchen knife, take the knife. The kitchen knife is not possible to hide - 
   when I tried, it just dissapeared. That means from now on, you will have 
   to walk around with the knife until you kill the police chief. Do not run 
   after the cook (if he feels persuaded, he alerts the guards sooner). Head 
   through the alley towards the red dragon (do not bump into the old man 
   with the kitchen knife, he will alert the guards), wait in the alley until 
   red dragon passes, then run, knife, run-strafe-drag the body into the 
   sewers - you have to manage to hide red dragon in the sewers on the first 
   try. Take amulet, clothes, run like hell back as you came, climb through 
   the window, open the door to the restaurant, lure the chief to go into the 
   toilet. He will pull out a gun, but dont go into the restaurant, because 
   waiter will kill you quite quickly. Knife the chief in the bathroom, dont 
   forget to leave the amulet there, climb again through the window and run 
   like hell trying to get to the car. While escaping, sometimes, it might 
   happen that one police officer will kill another one ...well just give it 
   another try in such case."

|====================| Mission Walkthrough (Standard) |=====================|
0===========================================================================0

For this method you need the Oyabun Knife and the Beretta 92 (Silenced) - 15
rounds.

When you start the mission then head straight east and enter the Restaurant.
Talk to the Bartender and get the Toilet Key. From here, enter the Restroom,
close the door, and exit through the window. Now head to the northeast corner
of the Map. It is here that the Red Dragon Negotiator will appear.

Bring up your Inventory List and highlight your Knife. Then get up behind him
and walk with him. If you look at your Map then you will see a Sewer Grating
at the north central part of the area. This is where you need to drag the Red
Dragon body when you kill him.

As you walk behind the Red Dragon then you will notice that he will slowly
cross the street at an angle as he heads to the intersection ahead. You will
also see, just before the intersection on the sidewalk, a short pipe railing.
After he gets onto the sidewalk, and just before he reaches this pipe
railing, quickly Slash the Red Dragon. Next, drag the body to the nearby
Sewer Grating.

When you get near the Grating then go up against the wall and, when the body
is near the opening, then angle northwest through the hatch so the body is
over the opening so you can drop him into it. This takes care of two
objectives.

After that, fall down into the sewer and Change Clothes plus grab the Red
Dragon Amulet. Then climb out of the sewer and head back towards the
Restaurant. However, do not head to the front door. Instead, head back to the
window you climbed out of earlier and re-enter the Restroom (but make sure
that no one sees you before doing this).

After re-entering the Restroom then bring out the Red Dragon Amulet and drop
it thus completing another objective. Next, head to the door, open it, aim
your cursor at the Chief's head, then close the door again. Then bring out
the Silenced Beretta, open the door, fire about three quick shots at the
Chief's head (killing him in the process), and then quickly close the door.

If you do this fast enough then you shouldn't have any of the nearby Police
come after you (mainly because of the speed of the hit and the silenced
weapon). After killing the Chief then Holster your weapon and exit through
the Restroom window again. After getting back outside then walk back to your
car (getting your Suit back is optional) to successfully complete the
mission.

0===========================================================================0
|======================| Mission Walkthrough (Cheap) |======================|
0===========================================================================0

For this method you still need the Oyabun Knife but leave the Silenced
Beretta 92 behind.

You do exactly as before in regards to the Red Dragon member and re-entering
the Restroom. However, the difference is in how you kill the Chief of Police.
Ready your Knife and exit the Restroom. Then walk up the the Chief.

He will actually stand up which makes it very easy for you to Slash him. Then
quickly make a run for the Restroom before the Shotgun wielding bartender
takes off too much of your health.

Then go through the Restroom window again and run to the Sewer Grating where
you left your Suit. Changing clothes again will keep the Cops off your back
as you head to your Pick-Up Point to successfully complete the mission.

The Police protection has been lifted from Lee Hong and now you can go after
him. However, he is holed up in his Restaurant and has a small army to
protect him. This Restaurant is also home to a Brothel which may be of some
use. There is also a missing Agent that needs to be found. His last report
indicated a large underground complex underneath the establishment.

Finally, you need to find a valuable Jade Figure and bring it to the Herbal
Shop before you can carry out the assassination.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>

There are four levels to the Map:

  >>Outside
  >>Basement
  >>2nd Floor
  >>1st Floor

The Outside Map is exactly the same Map you encountered in the mission
"Ambush at the Wang Fou Restaurant".

The Basement is where the Agent can be found. It has three Elevators and
plenty of corridors and small rooms. The 2nd Floor has both the Staff
Area/Guard Quarters and the Brothel with an Elevator and stairs to access
both.The 1st Floor is the actual Restaurant area itself. It has a Restaurant
Area, Kitchen, Bar, Lobby, and V.I.P. Area.

0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

This mission takes place inside a multi-level building including a maze-like
basement area. This is why I suggest using the Compass for this endeavor at
least for the first couple of attempts before trying without it.

One of the more popular methods of killing Lee Hong is by use of the Poison
that is provided to you in the Herbal Shop. However, using it will involve
killing one of the Waiters to gain an Outfit.

However, this will incur a $5,000 penalty against your reward. So, to prevent
unnecessary Civilian casualties and to save money, I will use another method
that will involve shooting Lee Hong through a skylight in the Restaurant
roof.

If any bodies are discovered then the Guards will warn Lee Hong and his HQ
will be locked down. This doesn't matter much since you can't get past his
Guard, Tzun, regardless of what disguise you have. This is nothing to worry
about since there is more than one way into the HQ.

In addition, the Jade Figure can be found in one of four random locations.

0===========================================================================0
|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

For this method you need the Oyabun Knife. Although you have the option of
bringing the Silenced Beretta 92 I found that there are better weapons to use
in this mission.

When you start the mission then you will be near the Restaurant where you
were at in the mission "Ambush at the Wang Fou Restaurant". This time,
however, you will need to go inside. Walk into the building to enter the
Lobby and you will see several things.

Ahead of you is a large pillar and a couple of dividers. To your left is a
short set of stairs and a guarded door. To your right is another guarded door
(with two Guards). You will also see a female Guard patrol about.

Go around the pillar and you will see the entrance to the Bar. On the right
side of the hallway leading to the Bar is another Guard standing in front of
a door. As you explore the place you will find that you aren't going to get
into many areas while wearing your current Suit. You will need to get a Guard
Outfit.

The Guard that is standing in the hallway to the Bar is the one that you need
to take down to get an Outfit. The door he is standing in front of is a small
storage room which is conveniently perfect for stashing a body. What you need
to do is get behind him and open the door but stand behind him just enough to
keep it open. Wait for the female Guard to pass you and enter the Bar before
you make your move.

When she does then get up and Knife the Guard and quickly drag him into the
storage room and around the corner so he isn't seen through the door. Change
Clothes then head back out. Turn right, enter the Bar, then turn left and
head to the Bartender. Talk to him and he will tell you about the Brothel on
the second floor. Even though you are in a Guard Outfit you are still seen as
a customer. Odd.

After talking to him then he will place a Flyer onto the bar which you will
need to take so you can enter the Brothel. From here, head east back through
the octogonal door and all the way to a single door in the east wall. Go
through this door then straight ahead to another guarded door that will lead
into the Brothel. Go through this next door and follow the way to another
door that opens into a larger area.

Angle southeast and you will come to a door guarded by a fat guy who will let
you through to the upper floor where the Brothel is located. When you get to
the top floor then you will find two women - and old woman and a young woman.

The old woman will introduce you to Lei Ling who will lead you to her room.
When you get to her room then you will find that she wants to leave the
facility and will help you by giving you the Safe Combination if you help her
escape (which you automatically do).

She will then run out of the room and you have to follow her. She will lead
you to a ladder which will get you to another part of the rooftop. After
getting to the other side she will lead you to a gate.

This is where she will make her escape, give you the Safe Combination, and
inform you of the Agent being locked up in the Basement. After this then turn
around and head back. You won't be able to climb the ladder but you won't
need to.

You will see three doors along the west side of this area. The one you will
need to go through is the one at the top of the short set of stairs leading
up to it (the middle door).

You will now enter the Kitchen area. Proceed forward past the cabinets, which
should be to your left, and you will see two doorways. The skinny one near
the wall corner is the one that leads to the Basement area. Proceed down the
stairs until you find the pair of Red Dragons.

When you find them then go left around the corner, go left around the next
corner, then turn right at the next one and go down the short set of stairs.
Then go all the way to the wall at the end of this hall and turn right. If
you are in the right place then you should see a Red Dragon on a lower floor
guarding a door. This is the where the Agent is being kept.

However, there is something that needs to be done first. Get up behind this
Red Dragon, despite his protest, highlight your Knife, and look left. On the
upper floor is a wandering Guard. When you see him and he moves out of view
then Knife the Red Dragon and move to the left of the body. Highlight your
Knife again and wait.

Eventually the wandering Guard will come back and see the body. When he runs
down to investigate then either Slash him or let him run off to warn Lee
Hong.

Then go through the door and talk to the Agent. The Agent is Agent Smith, a
recurring character who you will run into several times during the course of
the Hitman games. He will then give you the Safe location as you rescue him.
That's two objectives down.

Go back through the Basement the way you came and return to the Kitchen. From
here, look at your Map. The Jade Figure can be found in one of four random
locations (from hardest to easiest):

  >>The Guard Quarters
    ******************
      This is in a small room in the Guard Quarters. To get to it you need to 
      get to the Elevator at the southwest area of the VIP Area. Take it up 
      to the Guards Quarters then turn right when you exit. Head to the 
      junction and turn left to find this room.

      When you get to the Safe then you will find it guarded by two Guards 
      and another Guard that will patrol the area. Look on your Map and find 
      the room that says Staff Area. It should have several smaller rooms 
      attached to it.

      Go into the Staff Area room to find a Guard at the southwest corner. Go 
      into the room just ahead of you to find two more Red Dragons. However, 
      the reason to go into this room is to find several clips of SMG Ammo on 
      the chair near the door. In the room at the northeast corner is some 
      AK47 ammo and two Body Armor vests.

      After you get the SMG Ammo then go to the Guard near the double doors 
      then Knife him, grab his Uzi, and Change Clothes (so you can preserve 
      your Guard Outfit in case you are identified). Keep the Uzi out and 
      head to the Safe.

      Near the Safe is a closet you can enter despite the objections of one 
      of the Guards. Once you enter the closet then turn around so you can 
      look at the two Guards. You need to back away from the door and 
      sidestep left to align the heads of the two Guards. Then fire a quick 
      burst to kill them.

      This will attract the attention of nearby Guards who will come to 
      investigate. Reload before they arrive then kill them as they appear. 
      Once the coast is clear then open the Safe to get and Holster the Jade 
      Figure. Then go back and get your Guard Outfit before proceeding.

  >>The Meeting Room
    *****************
      This is in the room behind the double doors at the southwest corner of 
      the VIP Area. Go through these doors to find two Guards. One that does 
      a very short patrol and the other by the Safe.

      Get behind the one by the Safe and look right. When you see the 
      patrolling Guard move out of view then Knife the Red Dragon. Then wait 
      for the other Guard to re-enter the room and stand at the end of his 
      short patrol route. Even though his dead friend is just a few feet away 
      he doesn't do anything!

      Quickly get behind him then Knife him. Leave the body since it is out 
      of view of the nearby door. Then open the Safe to get and Holster the 
      Jade Figure.

  >>The Brothel
    ***********
      The Safe is found in the room west of where you first talked to the old 
      lady when you were here earlier.

      When you get back up to the Brothel, head west through the door then 
      continue forward past the old lady and through another door to find the 
      Safe and a Guard. Get up behind the Guard then Knife him. Move the body 
      into the northeast corner of the room then open the Safe to get and 
      Holster the Jade Figure.

  >>The Storage Room
    ****************
      The Storage Room is located at the southeast corner of the Map on the
      first floor. When you are inside the Kitchen then head west until you 
      get to the double doors leading to the Dining Area but don't go through 
      them.

      Look to your left to find a single door. Go through this door then 
      angle southeast to get to the door that you went through to get to the 
      Brothel. When you enter back into the larger area where you found the 
      fat guy then turn left to find a single door in a corner. Go through 
      this door and through the next one to enter the Storage Room.

      Turn right and go past the wall extension to find a Guard and a safe. 
      Get behind the Guard and Knife him then open the Safe to get and 
      Holster the Jade Figure.

When you have the Jade Figurine then go back to the Restaurant and head for
the northwest corner where you will find a pair of double doors. This is the
Herbal Shop.

Go inside and talk to the owner who will provide you information and a bottle
of Poison that you can use against Lee Hong. However, you need to be dressed
as a Waiter to use it so, at least as far as this strategy is concerned, the
Poison is useless.

Exit the Herbal Shop and you will find a table with four bowls sitting under
a skylight. This is where Lee Hong and his Guard, Tzun, will sit. Now it is
time to go to the roof so you can assassinate Lee through this skylight. It
is best to head to the Guards Quarters to get there.

If you hadn't already been here before to get the Jade Figure then go and get
the SMG Ammo and get Body Armor before heading to the roof.

At the south side of the Staff Area room is a set of double doors. Go through
then and through the next two to get to the roof. When you exit then you
should see a pair of stationary Guards. Head to the north side of the roof to
find a High Voltage area. To the left and right of this area are the
Restaurant skylights.

The one I will use for the assassination is the one to the left. However, I
need to clear the rooftop of four Red Dragons.

Head to the southeast corner of the roof to find the door that goes to the
Brothel. Go near the wall corner and wait for one of the two patrolling Red
Dragons to stop at the end of his patrol route. Get up behind him and Knife
him then Change Clothes. Next, go west and stand east of the Helipad which is
south of the High Voltage area.

The other patrolling Red Dragon will eventually stop at a point east of the
northeast corner of the Helipad. Knife him and leave the body.

Next, pull out your Uzi and go back to the two stationary Red Dragons you
passed by earlier. Position yourself south of the pair and line them up, aim
the cursor at the top of the head of the closest Red Dragon, then kill them
quickly with the Uzi.

The noise will definitely alert nearby Guards and they will start looking for
a suspicious Red Dragon. But something else interesting happens. Head to the
skylight where Lee and Tzun sit underneath. When you get there then you may
find that Tzun has left Lee to himself. Apparently the gunfire has caused
Tzun to leave. Some Bodyguard he is.

Aim the cursor at Lee's head then kill him with a quick burst from the Uzi
then run back and grab your Guard Outfit. This will automatically free you
from suspicion. From here, head back through the Brothel and through the
double doors where the fat guy is standing. Then head forward to the single
door in the corner (this is the door that leads to The Storage Room).

When you get through the door then turn right to go down the stairs back into
the Basement. Use your Map to help in finding your way to Hong's HQ. Continue
north through the Basement area and you will then need to take another
Elevator into Basement 2. Then go through Basement 2 and to another Elevator
which will lead you into Hong's HQ.

After exiting the Elevator then take a right which will lead you to a metal
door which contains an Elevator that goes to the dock and a boat that will
lead you out of Hong Kong and successfully complete this mission.

Now onto the next Target.....

Your next Target is a major drug lord named Pablo Belisario Ochoa. He is
hiding in a large Camp within a remote section of Columbia. Naturally he is
protected by a large heavily armed force who patrol the jungle. However,
there is also a local tribe that can be of assistance if you find them.

There are three missions here and they take place on the largest Map in all
of the "Hitman" games. Because you are in a remote area you will not be able
to buy weapons and equipment for the second and third mission. Anything you
buy for and find during the first mission needs to be carried over to the
next two missions.

It should be noted that any ammo you find for a weapon will not carry over to
the next mission unless you have the weapon it is meant for in your
possession. Since there are a lot of weapons that can be found this makes it
very easy to go without them on the first mission which is the only one where
you can buy weapons and equipment beforehand.

Your goal is find the Crash Site and retrieve a religious Idol, that was on
the crashed plane, and return it to the local tribe. There are also several
Weapon Caches that have been dropped off by the Agency to assist you.

| The Map \
0=======================================================>

There is only one level to this Map which is the jungle. There are nine
Weapon Caches spread throughout this area. The Crash Site is in the center of
this area. The Village of the local tribe is at the east side of the Map.

0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

This is a huge level and use of the Compass and Binoculars is recommended for
at least the first couple of attempts until you get comfortable with the
missions here in Columbia before doing this cheaply. I also recommend not
purchasing any guns for you will find all you need from the Weapon Caches and
Soldiers.

One thing to note is that there is another objective that is not listed. That
objective is to rescue the Chief's brother who is being held on a bridge at
the south end of the Map. You activate this objective when you bring the Idol
back to the Chief. However, you can rescue his brother before you give the
Idol back. That is what I will do here.

The game also wants you to find the Crash Site before the Soldiers get there.
But you will more than likely run into four-man patrols who will fire on you
because you are not in a disguise.

For this reason I prefer to let the Soldiers find the plane while I go and
disguise and arm myself. There are a couple of ways to safely get at the Idol
when it is guarded by them.

0===========================================================================0
|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

When you start the mission then you will be at the western side of this very
large area. Your first priority is to find a weapon. Head northwest to find
the double Weapon Cache. It is here that you can find the Beretta 92 and
plenty of Pistol Ammo. Pick up one of the Berettas and all of the Pistol
Ammo.

Just south of this Cache should be a two-man patrol. When you find them then
stay far back and find the pair of large trees just northeast of them. Stand
between these trees and slowly sidestep right so you can find one of the
Guards. Then shoot at him with the Beretta.

If you stand far enough away then he can't see you because of the jungle
mist. Don't worry if you waste multiple shots killing him - you should have
more than 200 rounds. After killing him then sidestep right again to find the
other Guard and do the same to him. Then go and Change Clothes with one of
them. If they aren't there then there is another place to find a two-man
patrol.

From this point, the next objective is to head to the triple Weapon Cache
located at the northeast corner of this Map. As you proceed forward keep an
eye open for stationary two-man patrols. If you didn't get a disguise then
you will be fired upon if you are seen.

When you get to the triple Weapon Cache then you will find one with two
M16A2s and several clips of 5.56mm ammo. The other two contain five clips of
Machinegun Ammo and two M60s. Grab all of the Machinegun Ammo and one M60. Do
*NOT* grab an M16A2. The reason not to get an M16A2 is that it is not a
weapon normally carried by any of the Soldiers here.

If they see you with one then any disguise you are in will be blown and you
will be fired upon. The Baretta is also a weapon not normally carried by the
other Soldiers so it is important to Holster it as soon as you are done using
it. The M60, however, is carried by at least one Soldier and is considered an
acceptable weapon. And it is more accurate and powerful than the AK47s
carried by most of them.

Now, if you haven't got a disguise, then head south toward the single Weapon
Cache. There are usually a two-man patrol you can find along the way so you
can get an Outfit here when you kill them. The M60 will make it pretty easy
to dispose of them.

After you get the M60 (and 300 rounds) and a disguise then head to the Crash
Site. When you get there then you will find the plane and several Guards. All
of the Guards are on the west side of the plane.

In addition, you will find a Guard that is standing by an open door and near
the Holy Figure. You cannot get the Holy Figure until you get rid of this
Guard. But you will also see that all of the nearby Soldiers are facing west
and with their backs to this one. Use this to your advantage. There are two
ways to go about this depending on what you bring with you:

  >>The M60 (Cheap Method)
    **********************
      Go to the east side of the plane and look west toward it. Pick off the 
      Guard on the wing. Then use the south end of the plane as cover as you 
      take down the remaining Soldiers.

      It should be pointed out that the very loud noise of the M60 will 
      attract Guards that may be outside of the Crash Site and will run to 
      investigate. Pick them off while they are standing around then grab and 
      Holster the Holy Figure when the coast is clear.

  >>The Knife/Fibre Wire (Standard Method)
    **************************************
      Go to the east side of the plane and drop your M60. Then highlight your 
      Knife/Fibre Wire, go to the other side of the plane, behind the door 
      Soldier, and Knife/Wire him. Then grab and Holster the Holy Figure, go 
      back to the other side of the plane, and grab your M60.

Notice that the Outfit of the door Soldier is a khaki color. He is of a
higher rank than the others (this info is useful in a later mission).

Regardless of method, when you get the Holy Figure, then go to the bridge
south of the Crash Site area to rescue the Chief's Brother. When you get to
the bridge then you will find several Soldiers. One will be in a tower at the
north end of the bridge (and carrying an M60), three will be at the north
entrance, three (along with the Brother) will be in the center, and one will
be in the tower at the south end.

Head up northeast until you come to a tree then use it as cover as you pick
off the three Soldiers at the entrance. The tree and the jungle mist will
keep them from seeing you. As you kill them then two of the three Soldiers in
the center will come to investigate. Kill them and wait for things to settle
down. If additional Soldiers show up because of the shooting then kill them
before proceeding.

After that then head to the large tree southwest of your position and use it
as cover to pick off the tower Soldier. When you are finished with him then
head towards the bridge so you can take care of the Soldier by the Brother.

If he fires on you as you approach then sidestep left so you can get the left
brick bridge support between you and him. Stay back far enough so the foliage
doesn't interfere with your sight of the Soldier. Then slowly sidestep right
and shoot at his head, with single shots, to pick him off so you don't risk
killing the Brother.

If he doesn't fire on you then stand by the brick bridge support on the right
side. Then aim at his head and kill him with a quick burst. Once this Soldier
is dead then the Brother is free and he will head back to the Village.

Even though there is an R93 Sniper Rifle in the tower it is best to leave it
alone and keep the M60. The M60 is best for what you need to do later.

From here, follow the river northeast to the Village which is the grouping of
small squares on the east side of the Map. As you get near the Village then
pull out the Holy Figure.

It is important to note that there is a bug that can occur if you talk to the
Chief *BEFORE* the freed Brother reaches him. If this happens then you won't
be able to talk to him again until you go all the way back to the bridge and
back again. To prevent that extra work, head to the bridge just south of the
Village then stop and look north. You should see a small hut north of you.

Go to the hut and go to its right and continue north to the fence and stop.
Look northwest and you should see a large hut. The Chief should be standing
about twenty feet in front of this hut. Wait for his Brother to appear near
the Chief before approaching him.

Talk to the Chief and he will help you by telling you of the passage to the
Drug Lord. He will also tell you of the sacred grounds and to not upset their
god. After the cutscene ends then so does the mission.

The Chief knows of a secret passage to Pablo's Camp. The passage is guarded
by what the tribe calls "Tezcatlipoca", the god of death. However, the Agency
knows that this god is nothing more than a very large Jaguar. But it is still
dangerous nonetheless.

Your objective is to get to the passage without harming the Jaguar. In
addition, whatever weapons you had at the end of the last mission are what
you will have to start this one.

There is only one level to this Map which is an extension of the jungle from
the previous mission. There two Point of Interest ("!") symbols on this Map.

The one at the northwest corner of this area is where you can find some Pigs
you can use to distract the Jaguar. However, I am not going to use them. The
second one, at the south part of the Map, is where the Jaguar, and the
Sacrificial Altar, is.

In the center of this area is a large U-shaped structure. This is where I
will be heading.

This is a short and quick mission. Not a whole lot more to add.

When you start the mission then you will be on the bridge just south of the
village. Run south past the Guards and to the large U-shaped construct in the
center of this area. When you get there then position yourself at the
northwest corner but just outside of it. Near this corner is a pair of
Soldiers just inside on the upper level.

Go up to them and line them both up. Aim at the head of the one closest to
you then kill them both with the M60. After that then grab and drag one of
them then head south out of the construct. Then drag him southeast and to the
Sacrificial Altar where you will find the Jaguar.

Put the dead Soldier on the Altar and back away. Once the Jaguar starts
munching on him (remember, people are meat too) then head south past it and
to the tunnel to successfully complete this mission.

You are now just outside the Camp where Pablo is holed up. It is very well
guarded and will require some planning to enter and execute Pablo. In
addition, you will also need to destroy his Drug Lab which is mostly
underground. You will have to explore the Camp to find what you need to
destroy it.

The Camp also has a small airstrip and Hangar. You will need to use the
Airplane there to escape once all of your objectives are completed.

There are four levels to the Map:

  >>Mansion 3rd
  >>Mansion 2nd
  >>Mansion 1st
  >>Jungle

The Mansion 3rd, 2nd, and 1st are the three floors to the Mansion in the
center of the Camp. These Maps are basically useless.

The Jungle Map is an extension of the jungle feature in the previous two
missions. There are two Point of Interest ("!") symbols on this Map. The one
to the south has some Body Armor, two AK103s, and seven clips of 7.62mm ammo.
The one at the far northwest corner of the Map cannot be accessed. Why it is
there is unknown.

0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

This is a fairly complicated mission that requires some degree of planning.
There are lots of patrolling Soldiers both outside and inside the Camp. There
are also plenty of Guard Towers as well.

In addition, unlike the Soldiers from the previous missions, the Soldiers
here will fire on you if you seen with the R93 Sniper Rifle. This is the best
reason not to bring it with you from the previous mission. However, they have
no problem with you carrying the M60.

Finally, there is a Weapon Cache right where you start and it has Body Armor
and several Knives.

0===========================================================================0
|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

When you start the mission then you will find yourself just north of the
Camp. Right next to you is the Weapon Cache I just mentioned. If you didn't
bring a Knife or Fibre Wire then grab a Knife from here (along with some Body
Armor).

From here, head to the fence then turn right and run alongside it all the way
to the entrance at the southwest area of the Camp. When you get inside then
head to a tent directly southeast of the Mansion.

When you get close to the Mansion then you will see a cutscene of Pablo
enjoying himself (and a Bomb on his desk which you need to destroy the
Laboratory). When you get inside the tent then you will find a Minigun and
four clips of Machinegun Ammo. Don't bother with the Minigun. Unlike with the
M60 you will be fired upon if you are seen carrying it so leave this weapon
alone.

Get the Machinegun Ammo (for your M60) then proceed to the Mansion. The next
step is to clear the entire Mansion of Soldiers so you can proceed with the
assassination of Pablo with no resistance. However, they need to be cleared
in a specific order to prevent interference as you dispose of them.

Head to the front door and past the Soldiers (who will warn you). But don't
go through the doors. Instead turn left and proceed forward on the wooden
walkway and enter the first door you come to on your right. Inside you will
see a stationary Soldier and another door that leads further inside the
Mansion.

Get behind him and Knife him. Then drop your M60 and drag him to the corner
further from the door so he isn't seen by the others as you open the interior
door. Go through the next door and you should see another stationary Soldier
in front of you and another one on the opposite side of the dividing wall
next to him. Go to the one on the other side of the wall (and standing next
to the door leading outside) and Knife him.

Now go past the other Soldier who is looking around to see what is going on.
He is too skittish to do anything to him so leave him alone for now. Follow
the hallway past the double doors and through the single door at the end.
Inside is another stationary Soldier standing by a large pot (this room is
the Kitchen).

Knife him then highlight your Knife, head to the door leading outside, and
open it. Outside is another stationary Soldier. The idea is to let him see
the body so he will run inside. When he runs inside to investigate the dead
body then go up behind him and Slash him. After that then head back into the
hallway and to the stationary Soldier you left behind who has now calmed
down. Knife him the drag his body partway into the hallway.

Highlight your Knife then open the nearby double doors and go back to the
body. Inside this room is a pair of Soldiers. One of them will see the body
and run to it. Slash him quickly when he stops. Then go through the double
doors and Knife the remaining Soldier.

Now go back into the Kitchen and turn right when you go through the door to
find another door. Go through it and you will be in the Lobby and you should
see a Soldier in front of you.

Do *NOT* kill him. There is another one above you to the right who is
guarding Pablo's office who will fire on you if you kill this Soldier.
Instead, turn left and proceed forward a few steps to find another door which
is next to the door you just came through. Go into this room to find another
Soldier. Knife him then leave.

When you exit the room then turn left to find the front doors. At the front
doors you will see two sets of stairs. Go up the set on your left and you
should see two doors. Go through the one furthest from you and you should
enter the Bathroom.

Inside is another Soldier but he is dressed in a Khaki Outfit. He is one of
two Soldiers in the Mansion dressed this way. You need to have one later so
you can safely enter the Laboratory. Only a khaki uniformed person can go
there. However, I'm just going to Knife this one and drag his body in the
corner so he isn't seen by the Soldier by Pablo's office. Then leave the
Bathroom and go through the door near the top of the stairs.

Inside you will see a Ladder leading to the upper level of the Mansion. Here
you will find another Soldier. Knife him then leave the room and go down the
stairs. After going down the stairs then go up the next set and through the
first door you come to and close it when you enter the room. Here you will
find the other khaki uniformed Soldier.

For now, Knife him and leave the body be. Then grab the Beretta 92SD and all
of the Pistol Ammo. Then go through the next door that leads into the next
room. Here you will find another Soldier. Knife him the drag the body to the
window. Then highlight your Knife and open the door to the upper walkway in
the Lobby.

Eventually the Soldier by Pablo's office will see the body and run to
investigate. Close the door and Knife him. Then go back downstairs and Knife
the Soldier in the Lobby. Now go to the front doors. It is time to remove the
Soldiers outside.

Stand to the left of the doors and open them. Aim your cursor at the head of
the Soldier you see. If the doors close on you then get close enough again to
open them.

After you aim at his head then quickly whip out the Silenced Beretta and kill
him with a few shots then Holster the weapon and close the doors (if you
can). Wait for the other one to find the body and return to his post. Then
open the doors and sidestep right to see him, aim at his head, then bring out
the Silenced Beretta and kill him.

At this point I have now removed all of the Soldiers inside and outside of
the Mansion. Now go back and retrieve the M60 and head to Pablo's office.
Open the doors and Pablo will taunt you which begins the fight. Pablo will
then grab his M60 and go to various places within his office to fire at you.

When the fight begins then immediately sidestep left so you are out of the
doorway. Then rotate, and gently sidestep, to your right so you can see a
stack of three crates. What you want to do is to aim at the wall corner to
the left of the top crate. Eventually Pablo will come to this point and fire
a burst when he does.

However, because of the drugs he snorted he will be pretty tough and will
taunt you. After he taunts you then sidestep left to get out of his line of
fire and move the camera right to see him. When he leaves that position then
rotate and sidestep right and aim at the wall corner again. Fire another
burst at Pablo when he returns and initiate another taunt.

Then sidestep left to get out of his line of fire and repeat the whole
process until you finally kill him.

Then go into Pablo's office where you can find an M60, a Letter from Prof,
and the Bomb. Get the Bomb then go and grab a Khaki Outfit from one of the
dead Soldiers on the upper floor. Then exit the Mansion through the front
doors and head west to the Laboratory. When you get to the Laboratory grounds
then go to the east side and past the trio of Soldiers. Go through the door
and then through the next one (and close it).

Here you will see a bunch of khaki Soldiers but most of them will be on the
west side and with their backs to you. There is one here on the east side
that you can, and should, Knife. After Knifing him then remain in Sneak Mode.

Carefully go left and to the Box of Explosives. When you get close enough
then pull out the Bomb and Place Bomb. Then Sneak your way back to the door
near the dead Soldier, go through it, and close it before you go through the
next one. From here, head back out of the area and to the tent closest to the
Hangar so the others can't see you. Then pull out the Remote Detonator and
detonate the Bomb to complete another objective.

It is *VERY* important to note is that, if you are using Windows XP, that the
game may crash when it tries to load up the cutscene of the exploding lab. It
happened to me about four times during multiple attempts but this happens
infrequently. But it will *DEFINITELY* crash if you detonate the Bomb with
you still inside the Laboratory.

After the cutscene is finished then run to the Hangar and enter it. There are
three Soldiers stationed by the plane but won't become hostile unless you
hang around too long inside the Hangar. When you see the plane then quickly
run to and enter it before they get hostile to successfully complete this
mission and leave Columbia.

Your next Target is a terrorist named Frantz Fuchs. He is currently staying
at the Thermal Bath Hotel in Budapest where a peace summit is being held.

However, he is planning to blow up the hotel and kill all of the leaders that
are there for the summit. The Agency doesn't really care about the leaders
but saving them will make the ICA popular with many governments and expand
their clientele. Although you will be actually one of the good guys here you
can't alert the authorities or you risk exposing the source who provided the
Agency with Frantz's whereabouts.

There is only one mission here and it takes place within the Hotel. In
addition, there are Guards with metal detectors in many places so you should
not try to bring in any weapons other than the Fibre Wire. Because of this it
may be best not to bring anything at all. Everything you need is inside the
Hotel.

There are four levels to the Map:

The Outside Map is where you will find your Exit Points. The 1st Floor has
multiple places of interest - the Kitchen, Restaurant, Pool, Saunas, and the
Lobby, There are also Elevators and stairs to access the upper floors.

The 2nd Floor also has various places of interest - Lounge, Flower Shop,
Casino, and Conference Room. There are also three Metal Detectors, in red,
that need to be avoided if carrying metal objects. The 3rd Floor has the
Dentist office and the Rooftop. It also has a metal detector.

0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

There is one objective the game doesn't tell you - you also need to kill
Frantz's brother, Fritz Fuchs. Fritz is a dentist who has an office on the
third floor and that is where the Bomb is kept. And he has the key to the
room where it is locked.

He has a pattern that takes a long time to cycle through. When the mission
starts then he can be found in the Sauna. Later, he will move to the Swimming
Pool. Then he will head to the Restaurant where he will eat then go to the
Restroom (you can kill him here if you wish). Finally, he will go to the Bar
at the Casino.

After that then he will head back down to the Sauna and start the pattern
again. It should also be noted that his office secretary knows his
whereabouts if you should lose track of him. Because the easiest way to
eliminate him is at the Sauna then that is the first place I will go to when
I start.

It should be noted that this is the only mission where you actually need to
jump from one platform to another.

0===========================================================================0

When you start the mission then you will be outside the hotel. Head through
the east door and go north past the desk. You can talk to the desk clerk if
you wish and find the exact room where Frantz is staying (Room 202) but I
prefer to leave him alone.

In front of you, you should see the main Staircase for the hotel. To the
right of it is the Men's Pool Entrance. Go through it and into the Changing
Room. You will also notice a Guard standing by the shower entrance who will
tell you to change if you want to enter the Pool.

At the southeast corner you can find a Changing Room with a Swimsuit inside.
Change Clothes and proceed to the Pool. The Guard will now go to the hotel
entrance to keep you from leaving without changing clothes.

Go through the Showers and into the Pool area. At the east side of the Pool
is the Men's Sauna room. It is here you will find Fritz Fuchs. If you talk to
him then he will tell you that he cannot stay here long because of a weak
heart.

Head back out and turn the nearby Handle. This will greatly increase the heat
inside and you will hold the door shut so Fritz can die of a heart attack
caused by the Sauna. Once he dies then go inside and grab the X-Ray Room Key
which is used in his office. From here, go back to the Changing Room, Change
Clothes, and go back to the Lobby.

Now you need a weapon. The best weapon to use is the Knife which is found in
the Restaurant Kitchen. Head west through the double doors to enter the
Restaurant. At the northwest corner are two pairs of double doors that lead
to the Kitchen.

Go to the *RIGHT* set of doors and open them but stay just outside. Inside
you should see the cook going about his business. If you enter the Kitchen
then you will be told to get out. Just keep opening the doors as they close
so you can keep an eye on him. Occasionally a couple of Civilians will come
in and out of the Kitchen.

On the counter, just inside and to the left, are some Kitchen Knives. When
the cook enters the freezer, in the back, and there are no Civilians then go
and get one of the Knives and get back out. From here, head to the Elevator
just east of the Lobby to go to the second floor near Frantz's room. This
will allow you to avoid the Metal Detectors that are placed on the 2nd Floor
at the top of the main stairs.

Turn right after you get off the Elevator then turn left to go through a set
of double doors. Look to your left to find a Guard in front of a room door.
This is Frantz's room. You can't get past the Guard but there is a way around
him.

If you look on your Map then you should see that this side of the 2nd Floor
is nothing but guest rooms. They are being constantly serviced by three Room
Service people who go around this area in a clockwise pattern.

Go through this hallway in a counterclockwise direction until you either find
one of them or find a Master Key in a door. The Master Key belongs to him and
you need it to progress further. After grabbing it then you will cause the
Room Service person to temporarily leave the floor so he can get another set
of Master Keys so he can continue his work.

In addition, you will also find a wandering Guard who goes around this area
in a clockwise pattern.

After you grab a Master Key then head to Room 201 which is next door to
Frantz's room. Enter this room and go through the next door that leads to the
balcony. Once on the balcony then turn left, head close to the railing, and
stop. Across from you is the balcony to Frantz's room.

However, you need to wait for the Guard to come onto the balcony and head
back into the room again before you do anything. When he goes back inside
then jump to the other balcony, enter Sneak Mode, go inside then Knife the
Guard.

Nearby you should see a small table with a Do Not Disturb Sign, a Letter fron
Frantz, a Letter from Pablo, a Hotel Key (Fuchs), a Dentists Business Card,
and a Luger PP08 SD. You can pick up and read the letters if you like but the
main items of interest is the silenced Luger and the Do Not Disturb Sign.

Pick up the weapon and sign then go back through Room 201 and into the
hallway. Go counterclockwise through the hallway until you find a Room
Service person.

If he is pretty far away from Room 202 then head back there and stand east of
the Guard then aim the cursor at his head. Wait for the patrolling Guard to
pass you and go through the double doors before quickly bringing out the
Luger and nailing the Guard in the head with a couple of shots.

Then open the door and drag the body inside. Bring out the Do Not Disturb
Sign, place it on the door using the Pointer Menu, then close the door. This
will ensure that the bodies are not found for a long time.

There is also this alternative method suggested to me by one of my readers,
Dak:

"On the level in the hotel where you have to kill the terrorist and get the
bomb, there is another way into the terrorist's hotel room. Dress as a
bellhop, go up to the guard, and tell him you have fresh towels. He will
stand to the side to let you in. Don't go in. instead, you can easily get
behind him and strangle him, and then drop him in the bathroom in the room
across the hall. There is a risk that a bellhop or cop will see you, but
at least the door guard presents his back to you so nicely."

After that then enter the Bathroom and kill Frantz with either the Luger or
Knife him. Then exit the Bathroom and head to the northwest corner of the
room to find the Bomb Case. After grabbing the Bomb Case then retrace your
way back to Room 201 and into the hallway.

From here, head north through the double doors and go back to the Elevator.
Take it to the 3rd floor then turn right and turn right again to go through a
set of double doors. After going through these doors then turn left to find
another set of double doors that lead onto the roof. When you get onto the
roof then you should see a large dome to your right.

From here, angle northwest to climb onto the next portion of the roof then
climb down again. As you get near the dome you should see an open window.
This leads into the Dentist Office.

However, before going through the window, enter Sneak Mode. Go through the
window and you should see a Guard with his back to you. Knife him and drag
his body near the window where you entered. Holster your Knife and you will
drop the Bomb Case. That's okay, there is something else that you should do
before you can go further.

Remain in Sneak Mode and go through the double doors to the west. To your
left is another Guard. Knife him then drag his body to where you put the
other Guard. If you don't Holster your Knife before you go through the door
then this Guard may turn around and attack you even if you are in Sneak Mode.

After killing this Guard then grab the Bomb Case, go inside the X-Ray Room,
and put the Bomb in the case. The Bomb is made of metal and will set off the
Metal Detectors. Thankfully there is a way to get outside without dealing
with them.

From the X-Ray Room, head out then go through the open door where the second
Guard stood and out into the hall. Then turn the corner, go through the
double doors, and turn right again.

Go through the next set of double doors, past the Guard with the metal
detector, and through the next set of double doors. Then turn right and you
should see four small brown hatches which should be on the wall to your
right. Go past them and hang the next right to find the entrance to the
stairs. Go down to the first floor and you should enter the Kitchen.

When you enter the Kitchen then go left and then go right at the corner and
head north to the double doors leading outside. After that then just go left
to find the way back to the street and successful mission completion.

Now onto the next Target.....

Your next Target is a notorious gunrunner named Arkadij Jegorov (aka Boris).
He is hiding on a Ship somewhere in Rotterdam Harbor. The Agency does not
know the exact location where Boris is at but they do know that there is a
local Dutch gang that is planning to purchase weapons from him. Following the
gang may lead you to Boris.

In addition, Diana has noticed something interesting about the people you
have assassinated. It seems that all of them served in the French Foreign
Legion together at some point. A very weird coincidence.

There are two missions here and they both take place within Rotterdam Harbor.

The Dutch gang is meeting up with Ivan Zilvanovitch, a close associate of
Boris. Ivan runs a circus which he uses as a front for his gun trafficking.
The Dutch gang uses a Strip Club as a hideout. You need to place the GPS
Transmitter in the gang's car and follow it to the meeting place.

You will also need to eliminate all of the gang members at the meeting and
hide the bodies before Ivan appears or he will run. You will also need to
place the GPS Transmitter in the Money Suitcase so he can lead you to Boris.

There is only one level to this Map and that is the harbor area. You will see
a blue circle which is the Train that goes around the track within the
harbor.

You will also find four Warehouses and several gates that can only be busted
through with the train. There are also three Switches that can be used to
direct the Train to these gates.

In the center of this area is the yellow circle that is the car you need to
attach the GPS Transmitter to.

0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

The interesting thing about this mission is that you don't even have to plant
the bug on the car to find the correct Warehouse thus saving you quite a bit
of work. And yet you will still accomplish the "GPS Transmitter in the Gang
Car" objective.

This will also be your first encounter with the Dobermans, an mildly annoying
enemy. For this reason I recommend bringing a Silenced MP5 with about 100
rounds for your first couple of times through so you can deal with them
quickly and silently before doing the mission without it.

0===========================================================================0
|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

For this mission you should have a Pentagon Knife and you *MUST* buy the GPS
Transmitter. Without it you will not be able to complete the mission since it
is required to track Ivan. As noted, the Silenced MP5 is optional. To do this
cheaply leave the MP5SD behind and use the Uzis you get from the gang members
you kill.

When you begin the mission then you will be at the northeast side of this
large area. When you look at your Map then you will see a blue blip. This is
a Train that will go around the tracks in this portion of Rotterdam. This
Train plays an important part in this mission. It is used to smash through
the gates that block access to three Warehouses.

One of these three Warehouses are used by the gang to conduct their business.
There is one to the west (Pakhuis #12), one to the south (Pakhuis #14), and
one to the east (Pakhuis #13). When you find the correct Warehouse then you
need to divert the Train to smash through the gate so you can get to it.

In order to do that you need to use the Track Switches. There are three of
them:

The first one (Track Switch #1) is on the north side of the track loop near
your starting position. The second one (Track Switch #2) is to the east of
the gang car (the yellow blip on the Map). The last one (Track Switch #3) is
just south of Track Switch #2.

From your starting position, run to the south and find a wandering Gang
Member. Get up behind him, Slash him, and grab his Uzi. Now go to the north
side of the nearby tracks and head west. Eventually you will find another
wandering Gang Member. Slash him as well and take his Uzi.

From here, head southwest and you will find another wandering Gang Member.
Slash him, grab his Uzi, and then go look for the correct Warehouse. The
correct Warehouse where the meeting will take place will have Dobermans
guarding it. You cannot get access to the Warehouse until you get the Train
to smash through the gates that block the way. But you don't want to do that
quite yet at this point.

The Dobermans can hurt you even if you brought Body Armor with you so you
should use the fence to your advantage to help keep them at a distance. I
should also point put that they can go through the standard closed gates
nearby so keep that in mind.

The Uzis that you get from the dead gang members are very inaccurate from a
distance so it is best to use the Silenced MP5 if you wish to use the fence
as a shield. However, depending on how close the fence to a given warehouse,
you may be able to make a Doberman chase you through a fence opening by
firing single Uzi shots at it.

This should allow the Doberman to get close enough to you to quickly kill it
with your weapon. You don't need to kill all of the Dobermans. Just the ones
closest to the stairs on one side of the Warehouse. But, if the Dobermans are
guarding Pakhuis #13, then there is something else you should do first before
trying to get rid of them, especially if you did not bring a Silenced MP5.

Just northwest of Track Switch #2 is a trio of Gang Members standing around a
fire. Line up two of them then whip out an Uzi or MP5SD and quickly kill them
then move your aim toward and kill the last one. This will keep them from
interfering. You can also take the Uzis they drop. It may be a good idea to
kill them regardless so you can get extra Uzis.

After finding the correct Warehouse and getting rid of what Dobermans you can
then head to Track Switch #1 and pull it. If the correct Warehouse is Pakhuis
#14 then you do not need to do anything else. If the correct Warehouse is
Pakhuis #12 then pull Track Switch #2. If the correct Warehouse is Pakhuis
#13 then pull Track Switch #3.

While you were doing all of this the Gang Car will go to the correct
Warehouse on its own. This will not fail the mission.

Now head back to the gang Warehouse and go through the newly open gate. Kill
any Dobermans that attack you then find the stairs which is on one side of
the Warehouse. The Warehouse contains six Gang Members that need to be killed
off before you can find the Briefcase and plant the GPS Transmitter inside.

But there is a specific way to go about getting rid of them which will make
the rest of the mission much easier.

To start, switch to your Uzi or MP5SD, go up the stairs, open the door, and
let one of them see you. He will then start to head towards your position.
Stay just inside the Warehouse until he reaches the top floor then step back
out, sidestep right, and aim left about 45 degrees through the door.

When he comes to the door then kill him and he will drop against the
cardboard boxes beyond the door. If you looked straight through the door
instead of the 45 degree angle then you would find a gap between the boxes
that you can actually knock people through when you shoot them and they would
land on the wooden boxes on the ground floor.

I do not want to knock them to the ground floor for reasons explained a
little later. Sometimes they can come through the door and join you on the
platform outside. But this will cause no problems if you kill them here.

Keep an eye on your Uzi ammo. You don't want to run out of ammo in a close
firefight. When you kill a Gang Member then grab his Uzi before going after
another one. When you spot the one guarding the Briefcase then shoot at his
feet to lure him so you can kill him.

After killing all six of them then you will get a notice that Ivan will
arrive in three minutes. You would need to hide all of the bodies before he
arrives or he will run if he sees any.

By killing all of the Gang Members on or by the stairs then you don't need to
worry about that since you have already "pre-hidden" the bodies. If by any
chance you knock any of them down to the ground floor then quickly move him
behind a nearby crate.

Then all you need to do is Change Clothes (to look like a Gang Member), go to
the Briefcase, pull out the GPS Transmitter, and pick up the Briefcase so you
can attach the Transmitter. After that then just stand still the whole way
through to successfully complete the mission.

The plan worked and Ivan has led you to Boris' Ship. Unfortunately, he is
getting ready to leave Rotterdam. The area is also blocked off and the gates
are guarded. To make things worse, Boris also has a nuke aboard the Ship.
More than likely he will arm it if he feels threatened.

Once Boris is dead and the nuke deactivated then take the boat to a
designated meeting point in international waters. The Agency also has
information on a Weapons Depot nearby that can be of use to you.

Interestingly enough Boris also served in the French Foreign Legion, just
like the other targets you have eliminated.

The Main Deck, 3rd Deck, 2nd Deck, and 1st Deck is the Ship that Boris is on.
It doesn't have a lot of detail so these Map levels aren't of much use. The
Harbor Map shows the fences that you must make your way through. In addition,
there is the Weapon Cache to the southeast that will be very useful to you.

0==============0
| General Notes \
0=======================================================>

This mission is a bit tricky due to Boris' extreme paranoia. If the slightest
thing goes wrong then he will be warned then arm the Nuke and flee. However,
you can use this to your advantage. There is an item in the Weapons Depot
that will turn Boris' paranoia against him.

0===========================================================================0
|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

For this method you need the Pentagon Knife. Everything else you need can be
found on this mission. When you start the mission then you will be on a small
boat dock. Pull out your Knife then climb up the ladder to ground level. From
here, head northwest toward a Warehouse (Pakhuis #12). Stationed at the
southeast corner of this building is a Guard.

Run towards him until you are about fifty feet away from him then enter Sneak
Mode and creep up on him and Knife him or line yourself with him then run all
the way up to him and Slash him the moment you get there. Then grab his MP5,
drag him around the corner (just to be safe), and Change Clothes.

After this then head west to the tracks and turn north. Eventually you will
come to a guarded gate. Even though you are dressed as a Guard they won't let
you through. Worse, if they warn you then any attempt to get close again will
result in you getting shot.

So stay far away from them. However, you still need to find a way through. As
you observe your surroundings you will notice patrolling Guards that can get
through the gates. There are usually two of them that go through each gate.
Thankfully they are not as sensitive as the gate Guards.

Find a patrolling Guard and stay real close (meaning against his backside) to
him. When you get to the gate then you will find that as long as you are
sticking with the patrolling Guard then the gate Guards will not bother you.

After going through this first gate then angle northeast to find another
guarded gate. Find another patrolling Guard and do the same thing here. After
going through that gate then go northeast then east past the corner of the
fence and to another guarded gate that leads south. Once again, use another
patrolling Guard to make your way through.

At this point you can now head south and towards the Ship. I still need to go
to the Weapons Depot but I am going to clear out some Guards first. Head
south toward the Warehouses (Pakhuis #13, Pakhuis #14). At the east side of
the north Warehouse is a Limo with a stationary Guard. Stay far away from
him.

Instead, head to the northeast corner of the north Warehouse (Pakhuis #13)
and wait for a patrolling Guard to come by. After he turns the corner then
wait until for him to go about twenty feet then get up behind him and Slash
him then back a few feet away from the body.

Another patrolling Guard will come around the corner and see the body. He
will run toward it to investigate then Slash him when he stops by it. From
here, head to the east side of the south Warehouse (Pakhuis #14). Here you
will find another patrolling Guard.

Follow him and, and when he turns the southeast corner, wait for him to go
about twenty feet then Slash him. Go back to the northeast corner of the
warehouse and wait for another patrolling Guard. Follow him then Slash him
just before he gets to the southeast corner. The Guard by the limo will be
too far away to see what you are doing.

Now *RUN* to the Limo. When you get close enough then you will be warned by
the Guard. The reason to do this is to get him turned so you can have easier
access to his backside. Back away a few feet from the Limo, get into Sneak
Mode, then go around the other side of the Limo and behind him. Then Knife
him and take his M16A2.

With all of the Guards cleared from this immediate area it is time to head to
the Weapons Depot.

Head north until you find the east-west tracks and turn east. Eventually you
will come to another guarded gate. Use the patrolling Guard to get through
this one and stick behind him so you can go through the next one after this.
After going through this gate then look to your left to find a rooftop Guard.
This info is useful for later.

Now run east along the tracks and turn south with them. There are Dobermans
stationed at the west side of the two Warehouses you will go past but you are
too far away to alert them. However, just past the second Warehouse, is a
train platform where a Doberman is posted. Kill it with the M16A2 and
proceed.

Eventually you will get to the Weapons Depot but there is another Doberman
posted just south of it. Kill it then enter the truck to find all sorts of
weaponry.

Inside you will find a MP5SD, a Franchi PA3 Shotgun, a Car Bomb, a Beretta
92SD, a Beretta 92, a Hardballer, a WA2000 Sniper, and Sniper Ammo. Grab the
WA2000 Sniper, Sniper Ammo (which will give you a total of eighteen rounds),
the MP5SD, and the Car Bomb.

The Car Bomb is different than the one you used earlier in the game. This one
is ignition based, meaning that it explodes when the victim tries to start
the vehicle. This is the weapon that I will use against Boris.

And, by acquiring these weapons, then you will also change one important
factor of this mission. The Guards that patrol through the guarded gates will
no longer do so. They will either become stationary Guards near certain
buildings or disappear.

So now you can't use the patrolling Guards to go through the guarded gates
since they will no longer exist. You must now kill your way through. This is
why you need to take the Sniper Rifle.

After acquiring these weapons then head to the entrance of the truck and zoom
in on the Warehouse. You will find a stationary Guard standing at the south
side of this Warehouse (or you will see him running to this position).

It may be a good idea to kill him before he finds the dead Doberman nearby.
Either snipe him with the Sniper Rifle or drop it then run up to him, Knife
him, and then run back to the truck to get the Sniper Rifle.

From the Weapons Depot, head back to the tracks and proceed north all the way
to the fence then turn west. Stop after a few steps then zoom on the guarded
gate ahead. If you can't see the Guards because of the darkness then get a
little closer and try again. Continue this until you can see the Guards when
you zoom in.

Pop the first Guard then kill the second before he either gets close enough
to confront you or run away to warn Boris. After that then rotate right until
you find a stationary Guard then nail him.

Remember that rooftop Guard I mentioned earlier? You need to kill him too but
only his head can be seen from your current position. Find him and pop him.
After this then go over to the stationary Guard you just killed and pick up
his MP5 then head back to the gate and stop just a few feet away from it.

Use the Sniper Rifle to zoom in on the two Guards at the next gate beyond and
kill them both quickly. Then angle right and up to kill another rooftop
Guard. Even though he is far away he can still see what is going on and will
fire on you if you go near the second gate so it is important to get rid of
him.

After killing him then drop the Sniper Rifle. You will no longer need it for
the rest of this mission.

Go through both gates and head back towards the Limo. Pull out the Car Bomb
and plant it. This will take care of Boris later. After planting the Car Bomb
then head to the Ship. At the south end of the Ship is the stairs leading up
but it is guarded and you cannot go up them dressed as a Guard. You need to
be disguised as a Sailor.

Thankfully, just to the south at the corner is a Sailor. Get up behind him
and Sneak him then drag his body just a few feet backwards and Change
Clothes. From here, head up the stairs and to the deck.

When you get up onto the Ship you do not want to cause any kind of trouble or
Boris will be warned and he will activate the Nuke and then escape before you
can get into position to disarm it plus you will have to fight a lot of
people to get where you need to go.

From the top of the stairs, turn right and head north. Go through the first
door that appears on your left then go down the nearby set of stairs. When
you get to the bottom then you will see a door ahead of you and another set
of stairs leading down to the right of the door. Go down these stairs and
turn left.

Continue forward and enter the *SECOND* door, that should be to your right,
that you come to. Then turn the corner then head to the next one. Here you
will find another Sailor just standing around. He is dressed differently than
the others. He works in the Engine Room and you should just go up behind him
and Knife him.

If you don't kill him now then he will interfere with the Ship's engine
preventing you from leaving near the end of the mission and you will have go
back down and deal with him. Killing him now will save you that hassle.

After doing that then go back through the door and turn right. Continue
forward until you get to the wall then turn left again and go through the
next door. After you go through this door then turn left again to find the
stairs that lead down to the Engine Room area where the Nuke is being kept.

When you get to the Engine Room itself then go down the first set of stairs
and look left to find another Sailor. He is dressed just like the one you
just killed. Now get behind him and Knife him then bring out an *UNSILENCED*
MP5 and aim and the next Sailor just ahead of you. Even though he is nearby
he didn't see you kill his friend because of the steam.

Kill the Sailor with the MP5. Because of the noise someone will go and warn
Boris which is okay because at this point I *WANT* to have him warned. When
he gets warned then he will activate the Nuke and make a run for his
booby-trapped limo. But the Nuke is in the next room on this deck and I can
disarm it almost as soon as he activates it.

After killing this Sailor then get close enough to kill Ivan and carefully go
into the next room and kill the Sailor there (he will be to your left as you
creep up the stairs). Then Disarm the nearby Nuke which will take care of one
objective then wait for Boris to activate the Car Bomb which will take care
of another objective.

Now all that is left is to start up the Ship and sail out.

It should be noted that there is a Minigun in one corner of the Nuke room
but, since all of the Sailors have fled the Ship at this point, it is pretty
much useless.

From here, head back out of the Engine Room and go back through the door you
came through. When you get to the next corner then turn right 180 degrees and
go up the stairs.

When you get to the next deck then go up the next set of stairs, which should
be to your left, and turn right 180 degrees when you get to the top. Proceed
forward and go up the next set of stairs then angle southeast until you reach
a short hallway. Go south into this hallway and go through the door that
leads back outside.

From here, turn right, follow the path, and go up the next set of stairs. At
the top, turn right 180 degrees and you will see the door leading into the
control center. Before entering, pull out your Knife, open the door, then
Knife the Captain who is just standing there. Then Start Engine to
successfully complete this mission.

Now onto the next Target.....

The Agency is in turmoil.

As it turns out all of the hits you have completed were at the request of one
person. The Agency doesn't take part in larger wars but this one customer is
powerful enough to get the Agency to accept another mission from him. The
Agency wanted to use another agent for this job but this customer wants
you and the Agency granted him that request. Very unusual and very

You are to go to Romania for this assignment and it takes place within a

There are four levels to the Map:

The Outside is the exterior of the Asylum. The 1st Floor has the Lobby and
many multiple rooms. The 2nd Floor is where you can find the TV Room,

essentially the attic area and has multiple rooms where weapons can be found
if you take the time to explore the area.

A relatively simple mission but there is more than meets the eye here. It is
simply best not to bring anything at all for this mission.

0===========================================================================0
|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

When you start the mission then you will be outside the Asylum. Head inside
and you will talk to the Guard. He will then let you through and give you
instructions to Dr. Kovacs office. After going through the door then you
should see a double door ahead of you and some stairs to your left.

Go through the double doors and into an office. Then go up the stairs ahead
of you. When you get up to the next floor then continue west until you reach
a Lab. Here you will find a Franchi PA3 (with ammo) on a windowsill and an
Uzi on a table with beakers.

Take the Uzi and Holster it. This will be the only weapon you need for the
next mission (even though there are plenty of other weapons found throughout
the facility). There is also no reason to go after any additional ammo for
reasons outlined later.

As you are doing this then there will be a cutscene where the Guard will call
up someone informing him of your presence. Then that person will call up the
SWAT. However, the SWAT won't actually appear until you confront Dr. Kovacs
so you have plenty of time to explore the building.

Unfortunately, most of the building is sealed off by locked doors. The key to
open them can only be found in Dr. Kovacs' office. After grabbing the Uzi
then head back down to the Lobby. Then climb up any of the two stairs to
access the second floor.

On the second floor there is an Operating Theater. Go north through it then
go through the double doors ahead of you and turn left to find a First Aid
Kit on the wall. Grab the Syringe and go back out.

The interesting thing about the Syringe is that it has "infinite ammo". You
can, if you're so inclined, use it to kill every patient and Guard in the
asylum (I wouldn't recommend using it on the SWAT, however).

To the left of the double doors leading back to the Operating Theater you
will see another door. This is Dr. Kovacs office. Enter it to find the
Doctor. After talking to him then get behind him and kill him with the
Syringe and Change Clothes. These clothes will enable you to go throughout
the Sanitarium without any problems.

Go to the southeast corner of the room and grab the Sanitarium Key. This will
allow you to unlock all of the doors and gain full access to the facility.

At this point you should now see SWAT going all around the place looking for
you. The disguise will fool them and you will be left alone. In addition, you
can also talk to the patients that are running around the place. They will
ask for various items like Teddy Bears, Rubber Ducks, or Books.

If you give one the item he seeks then he will tell you of the TV Room. But I
generally just avoid dealing with them and make my way to the TV Room on my
own.

From Dr. Kovacs office, head back down to the Lobby and through the door at
the northwest corner. After going through the next door then turn left and go
through the gate. After going through the gate, and up the short set of
stairs, is a set of stairs in the corner. Go up the stairs then turn left
when you get to the next floor.

Proceed forward until you find a set of double doors to your right. This is
the TV Room. Go inside and you will find a familiar person slumped over in a
chair. It's Agent Smith and it looks like he's in trouble again. Talk to him
and he will inform you about yourself and an antidote for the serum he has
been given. Head into the caged room nearby and grab some Antidote.

Give the Antidote to Agent Smith and he will lead you to a passage leading to
the basement.....and some answers. Follow him and open the gates and doors so
he can go through. He will eventually lead you to an Elevator. The passage is
underneath it and Agent Smith will take it up so you can go down to the
Basement.

When you head down the passage then you will successfully complete the
mission.....and set up the final confrontation......

When you start this mission then you will find that whatever Body Armor you
brought with you has been stripped away. In addition, while you still have
the weapons you gained from the previous mission, any extra ammo will be
stripped away as well.

This is why I don't recommend trying to obtain any additional ammo from the
previous mission. I don't understand why the designers did things this way
but this is how they made it. And, finally, there is no Map to display on
this mission.

|==========================| Mission Walkthrough |==========================|
0===========================================================================0

The first thing you should do is bring out your Uzi and head around the
corner and through the gate. There is a Guard at the desk you need to kill so
take him down. You can grab his Hardballer plus there is a Shotgun with some
ammo in the locker next to him. However, you won't need any of it.

Continue forward through the next gate until you get a cutscene of multiple
Clones. One of them goes through a door and has the barcode on the back of
his head read so he can be released.

This is the Series 48 Clone, one step above you. He is stronger, faster, and
more accurate with a firearm than you. There are a total of ten Clones you
need to kill before you can progress further. And you don't have enough ammo
to take them all on. You need something a lot more powerful. And that weapon
is the Minigun. And you need to find it fast before he finds you.

When the cutscene begins immediately press the Escape key then turn right and
*RUN* through the gate. Then *RUN* forward and turn right at the next
junction and *RUN* through the next gate.

Ahead of you should be a dark door that leads into a storage room. Inside
this storage room is the Minigun. Immediately grab it and head for the door.
Open the door but stand in the doorway. Remember the trick to spin the barrel
by quickly tapping the Left Mouse Button.

Aim at the left side of the open part of the gate ahead of you. The Clone
will head in your direction but won't fire through the gate bars. Kill him
when he is exposed enough through the opening and before he can fire on you.

When he drops then do the Holster trick by using the Holster command in the
Inventory List and *RUN* back through the open gate then turn left and *RUN*
forward through the next open gate. Continue forward to the end of the
hallway then open the gate, go through it, close it, then turn right at the
corner.

You should see a Guard sitting at a desk. You can either use your Uzi to kill
him or Sneak behind him and use the Syringe (save the Minigun ammo for the
Clones).

There is a locker nearby with all sorts of stuff inside. Open it and pick up
all of the ammo and weapons so you can get at the Body Armor inside. After
you pick up the vest then head back to the gate but *DON'T* go through it.
Aim through the gate, spin the barrel, and wait.

While you were doing all of this another Clone was released and has been
wandering the hallways looking for you. You will eventually see him in the
hallway but he won't fire on you. They usually don't fire on you unless they
are pretty close to the gate or that you fire on them first.

Apparently the gate bars interfere with their aim. But that doesn't mean that
they can't do serious damage to you even with the Body Armor. Still, the gate
serves as a kind of shield that will help you. Aim between the bars and when
he gets relatively close then fire off a burst to kill him before he can fire
back at you.

After that then another Clone will be released. Aim through the *SECOND* and
*THIRD* gate bars (from the left side of the gate) and at the open gate at
the opposite end of the hallway.

He will eventually appear in the background as he approaches the open gate.
Fire a burst through the gate bars until he drops dead then spin the barrel
again and wait.

Repeat this pattern until all of the Clones are dead. As you doing this you
will be treated to the ramblings of your creator, Dr. Ort-Meyer. After you
kill the last Clone then drop the Minigun and go back to the first one you
killed. From here, drag him back to the Biohazard room.

To get to the Biohazard room, go west through the open gate then all the way
to the wall and turn right to find a closed gate. Go through this gate then
all the way to the next junction and turn right to find it.

If you don't drag a Clone with you then you will be killed when you enter the
Biohazard room. The reason is that you are not a Series 48 and when the
scanner reads the barcode on the back of your head then the doors will close
and you will be killed with poisonous gas.

By dragging a Clone with you then you can get the scanner to read the back of
his head and allow you access. When the door finally opens then bring out
either your Uzi or MP5 and proceed through to another operating room.

It is here that you finally meet Dr. Ort-Meyer. He believes that you are a
Series 48 and congratulates you. However, you can't let him get too close to
you. You see, he has a Stun Gun and if he gets too close then he will notice
that you are not a Series 48 and stun you. Then you will end up back in the
same room you began the game in.

So, to prevent capture, shoot the Doctor. This will end the mission and the
game as you finally accomplish your last kill.

As you regain your memory, originally suppressed by Dr. Kovacs' serums, it
becomes clear the truth about your origins and why you were sent to kill your
targets.

Dr. Ort-Meyer created you from the DNA of himself and that of his friends,
Lee Hong, Pablo Belisario Ochoa, Frantz Fuchs, and Arkadij Jegorov. They all
met during their stints in the French Foreign Legion. After they left and
went about their ways they helped to set up Dr. Ort-Meyer's experiments in
DNA research and cloning using money from their respective enterprises.

However, the impatience of the other participants, gathered from the letters
left behind after you killed them, may have led Dr. Ort-Meyer into using you
to kill them.

In addition, judging from the Doctor's own ramblings, another reason for
having his friends killed is so he could have all of the Clones, and glory,
to himself. The power he gained from all of the cloning research made him
megalomaniacal.

He then lured you back to the Asylum where you were created so he could
eliminate the last trace that could lead back to his former friends'
assassinations and to eliminate an imperfect Clone - you. He hoped that the
SWAT teams would take you down.

But he underestimated you. A fact that became all too clear to him as you
stood over him just moments before you ended his life.

After this confrontation you leave the Asylum for parts unknown. And you no
longer use the name Tobias Rieper. You now go by the name of.....

Agent 47.

And with this I complete the guide and move onto the sequel, "Silent
Assassin". But there is one more thing to do first before I close things
up.....
