Weapons: None as per usual
From the start, you want to right up to the wall directly in front of you. There’s a lift just around the corner to your left, but there’s a camera above it. You need to stick to the wall as you go around the corner – squeeze between the staff member at the corner and the wall. That way you can call and enter the lift without the camera seeing you.
When the lift arrives at the main house, you’ll see a man in a white coat waiting to greet the visitors. Walk past him to the ledge directly behind him. Give a quick look to make sure no guests are watching and jump the gap to the balcony. Go through that door and through the door directly in front of you. This will lead you into the kitchens where, hopefully, you’ll see a very drunk Santa. (If not, you may have to wait a bit for his return). Sedate him (you don’t even need to sneak up on him he’s so plastered!), take the Santa suit and stuff the body in the container. You’ll also see some sausages in the kitchen – there’s one on a counter and one on the floor beside the bin. Poison one of them and take it with you.
You’ll see two doors in the NE corner of the room, take the one to the East and go through the door in front of you. You should be standing behind the bar beside the barman. There’s a bottle of aphrodisiac on the floor, grab that and go back through the door. Take a left in the corridor and go through the door. Continue to the end and take a left, this will bring you back into the bar. Go up to the bar, and there should be a martini glass on the counter to the right of the barman (if not, you may have to wait for a white coated waiter to bring it back). Once you find the glass, walk up to it and add the aphrodisiac (the barman doesn’t seem to bothered – probably does the same himself!!).
Now go through the double doors to the South out onto the balcony. Swing left and you’ll see an outdoor pool with one of our targets – Chad – relaxing. You need to wait for the waiter to bring the glass out to Chad, he’ll have a drink and the next time the girl sits next to him, they’ll both get up and head off to a room. Wait for this and then follow them.
As you follow them, you’ll enter a pink corridor, in the middle of which are two people making out. As you approach, they’ll stop and the man will walk away. The woman will gesture for you to follow her and go through the door beside her. DON’T FOLLOW HER! I’m not sure if you noticed, but when the level was loading, it showed the pictures of your two targets, there was also a third figure there in shadow with a ‘?’. This is your third target. We’ll come back to her in a bit.
Keep following Chad to their room. They’ll go in where the woman will proceed to ‘entertain’ him. If you stand to one side you can keep opening the door to admire the show! Once they’re finished, the girl will head back to the party, but Chad will turn left and go through the door at the end of the corridor. Follow him down the stairs and he’ll come to a balcony where he’ll stop for a smoke. What else can you do, but give him a gentle shove over the edge!
Go back up the stairs to the pink corridor. There’s a bodyguard who patrols through here regularly. He goes through the same door that Chad did, but stops at the top of the stairs. Wait for this, then sneak up and sedate him. Don’t take his suit just yet, leave him there. It’s time to take care of our mystery guest. Go around the corner to the room where the woman went. This is definitely a good save point as the timing for the next part might take a few goes.
Enter the room and it will jump to a short cut scene which will end with the woman standing behind you, where she’s about to pull a syringe of her own and kill you. Quickly turn around and head-butt, punch her to knock her out. Once she’s down, use the poison syringe on her to finish the job. That should give you a nice silent kill that won’t screw up your rating at the end. Don’t bother taking her gun.
Go back to the bodyguard you put to sleep and take his suit. Go back through the pink corridor to the double-doors and straight till you see the waterfall to your right. Walk through this and out the other side, continue straight and take a right to where you’ll see a door guarded by two bodyguards. Go through that and to the lift ahead. Take the lift up to the Studio Floor. We have two tasks here, to kill Lorne and to steal a video cassette. We’ll grab the video first.
Go through the double doors ahead of you and take the door to your left. This will bring you to a security area where you’ll see a few desks with computers on them. One of the desks has the video at the corner, just make sure no one’s looking and grab it. Once you have it, go back through the door you entered. Check you’re map to see where Lorne is located, he’ll either be in his bedroom – straight ahead and to the left – or in the studio – behind you. Hopefully he’s in the studio, if not, go back towards the lift and wait here till he is.
Once he’s out of his bedroom, go through there – the large room with a balcony to the South. As you enter, you’ll see a door to your left leading to his bathroom. Drop the poisoned sausage outside this door and then go in to the bathroom. Use the map to watch as Lorne enters the room and passes the bathroom. Wait for him to go to the balcony – gives the poison a chance to shut his annoying mutt up! Then leave the bathroom and go straight to the other side of the bedroom. Turn left and you’ll see Lorne through some doors standing with his back to you. Another perfect opportunity to test if man can fly! Sneak up and push him over the edge.
Right, it’s time to vacate the premises! Leave the bedroom and go back through the double-doors to the lift. Take it up to the Helipad. Follow the corridor around and go through the door. There’ll be a guard beside some doors in front of you, walk up to him and let him search you for weapons, then go through the doors and up to the helicopter.
