Hitman: Absolution - Run For Your Life

Burning Hotel

Move through the burning room and out the window. When you get outside, move along the ledge on the outside of the building. This will lead you to a large red ladder leading to the roof. Climb to the roof and take cover behind the vents at the top. Wait behind the vent until the cops start moving. They'll make their way across the roof away from you.

Follow behind them and watch as they walk down the stairs on the far side. Wait for them to turn right and then continue through the door on the left. Walk straight forward and you'll cross some roof until you see a bright red light on double doors ahead. Go inside the doors.

The Library

Drop down from your ledge and go to the right. Walk down the stairs and at the bottom, turn left and wrap around the column there. Walk under the stairs and wait for the police to stop talking. When they are done, hug the right wall until you go under another set of stairs. Turn right and get up the moving staircase. Turn left and get on these broken stairs. Follow these stairs back to the upper level (right side).

At the top, turn left and take cover against the railing. Roll to the right to get to the next railing plate. Move along this railing until you come to what looks like a couple of small bookcases along the railing. Up ahead will be a cop who seems interested in the books nearby. He'll continually walk towards you and away from you. Sometimes he will walk over to the ledge but rarely. Wait for him to walk towards you. He'll stop and look again. Then he'll start walking away from you. When he does, crouch and walk past him but keep to the left so you don't bump into him. Round the corner to the left without touching him and just by the doorway will be a ledge that you can jump onto.

Grab the ledge, pull yourself up and walk around the outside of it until you are on the other side of the wall. You'll see a cop come up the ramp and walk under you. Drop down when he passes and crouch as you walk down the ramp. Get down the ramp quickly because there will be cops coming down the large set of stairs in the middle of the room.

Stick along the right side and climb through the hole in the book case. On the other side, go left just a bet to clear the column and you will see a glass case in front and to the left. Go to the left of that and on your left side should be the side of the large staircase. Keep moving towards the back and if you turn right as you go past the next bookcase, you should find stairs leading to the upper level. This will circumnavigate the large set of stairs. Now look for the large door and start making your way over. Wait for the guard to move off and slip into the doorway.

Climb up the stairs and wait for the patrolling cop to walk away before slipping through them. This will put you in a large spiral staircase. Go up the first set of stairs and then continue around until you go through a broken set of stairs. Not far behind those broken stairs will be a piece of flooring from the next floor up that has fallen through. You can jump up here.

Pull yourself up this section and then wander around this part until you need to cross over the top of the chandelier. Cross over and then turn left to find the exit door.

Pigeon Coop

You'll walk out onto a fire escape but there's no easy way down. Drop off and you'll land on the roof below. Once you stand up, start running straight ahead and down the stairs into the next building. A helicopter is going to show up in just a minute. If you don't make it, you can hide behind the vents on the right and the corner of the staircase to get inside.

Inside the next building, you'll find a whole mess of pigeons. Take cover against the pigeon nests and start moving left. You can make it all the way through if you just stay in cover and use the "change cover" button to move to the next cover. You'll pop out of cover a couple of times but just get back into cover and you'll be fine. Keep moving until you get to through the doors at the end.

The next room is going to be full of metal. There will be a doorway in front and to the right. You'll see the helicopter light come through it and hear them outside. A cop will be instructed to search around inside so take cover against the long metal wall just before the door. Wait for him to come in and he'll move to the left. Eventually, he'll take cover against the wall and then turn into a little nook. When he does this, go through the door and immediately go left to find a vent that you can take cover behind.

Move to the left side and from the sandbags, transfer to the other sandbags. Now just move from cover to cover going left until you come across another vent with sandbags on the left side. Wait here until the chopper backs off and while the cops are either still talking or moving off, roll to the left. Once you are past them, wait for them to move away and then make your way to the porch on the left side.

Shangri-La

Walk forward and around the left wall into the room with the druggies freaking out. Move through the back of this room towards the bathroom. Just before the bathroom, take a right and another right. You'll enter a huge pot farm area. Walk to the end of the broken wall and turn left into the pot field.

Stay a decent ways off the left wall and move across the field. You'll come to a rocky part of the field with no plants and a cop at either end of it. Wait for both cops to get situated and they will turn away from the center of this rocky area. When they are both turned away, cross the rocky and turn right. You'll see a section of wall ahead and to the left with a large Peace sign. Quickly move towards this wall by try to pass just to the right of it to block the line of sight of the cop on the left side of it.

As you pass the right side of the peace sign, turn left and go through the hole in the wall. You'll see a hall on the left and a room on the right. Go into the room and activate the checkpoint (if you can) and then make your way into the hall. There will be a couple of cops in the next room talking but they will walk off. Follow them for a little bit at a distance. You'll pass a room with a large projector and then turn left through some more beads. Leave the apartment and you'll find yourself in the hallway.

In this hallway, turn left, walk past the sauna on the right and then take up a position at the corner. You'll see a laundry area to the left and a man talking to a hippie. The hippie won't let the cop in and after a little while, the cop will leave.  There are bottles on the right side of the hallway if you need them to distract the guards at the end of the hallway. You need to sneak into the room of the hippie who was just talking and inside, find the tape player on the table near the middle of the room. Activate the tape player and leave the room the way you entered.

Now just walk around the back towards the laundry room, turn left and go past the sauna. Turn left again and you'll pass by where you entered the hallway. Go to the end past the blue lights and take another left. You'll see the exit elevator on the right side ahead. Activate the elevator and get one before the cops come back.

Train Station

When the elevator reaches the bottom, don't go through the doors ahead but go through the single door on the left. In this room, take cover behind the first counter in front of you on the left. A cop will come up the stairs and investigate the room. Wait for him to leave and then wait longer. If you look at your radar, you should see a large group of arrows has appeared at the end of the hallway that the cop just turned down. Wait for those arrows to start moving to the right and when they are gone, start making your way down this hallway.

At the end, there will be a foyer with a double door on the left and cops up the stairs to the right. Make straight for the doors and go through. Walk along this path and turn right until it brings you to a crowd of people on a train platform with a cop blocking them. Stand up and walk straight past the cop into the crowd of people. Any time you stand still in a crowd of people, you are concealed. You can turn on Instinct mode and see the people glow blue. This means that you are hidden amongst those people.

In this first group of people, stand still and turn left. Up ahead will be the ticket office and stairs leading up on the left side of the office. To your right will be train tracks. You want to move towards the group of people on the right and wait there. A cop may come up and investigate before moving back left. Now just casually and carefully move your way up along this right side towards the ticket office.

When you get to the ticket office, move all the way over towards the rails and you can slide along the side of the ticket office on a small ledge. Move along the ledge and climb into the window of the ticket office. Inside crouch down and take cover behind the wall to your left. Move towards the right and slide by the doorway. When you have, you can detach from the cover and move right. There's a small room no larger than a big closet here with a ladder leading up.

Climb the ladder and at the top, you'll see a checkpoint to the left and a console in front of you. There will be a man in the room talking on his phone. Crouch walk over to the computer console and reactivate the trains. Turn right and hug the wall so you can slip past the guy on his phone. Move to down the hallway here and go through the door to find yourself on a small overpass that spans the tracks.

Take cover in a crowd of people and turn right. You'll see a cop that is patrolling from the far end up until about halfway across the bridge. Wait for him to come towards you and as he's leaving, move from group of people to group of people behind him. When you can't go further without passing him, wait for him to turn around and walk past you. When he has, turn towards the stairs on the right and walk down them.

Move quickly down the stairs towards the groups of people at the bottom. You've got sixty seconds before the train arrives to your right but it won't come all the way to the stairs. You'll need to spend the sixty seconds moving about halfway up the track. You'll notice that there are four cops on along the track. One of them is right at the base of the stairs but then there is a large gap and then the other three cops spaced evenly along the track and blocking it off.

Each of those cops will block one of the three doors to the train but there will be enough room to slip by. Get as close to the first cop as you can without leaving the cover of the crowd. When the train shows up, slip right past him on the right while he's talking into his radio. Once you are on the train, you are free.

    Does anyone else think that 2013 can match 2012 for game quality?

  • 14th March

    This newest Hitman game is about as frustrating and senseless of an experience as I've had in the stealth genre of video games. Disappointed
