Weapons: None
I’ve always enjoyed the hotel levels of the Hitman series and this one is no exception. The only problem is that if you want to get the Silent Assassin rating, you will definitely need a lot of patience!
So, go through the front entrance of the hotel and around to the main reception area. Go to the reception desk to your right and talk to the receptionist. She’ll give you a key card to your room and explain that it will only work to get you to your own floor. Now head up the nearest set of stairs and over to the two elevators. Throughout this level you will only use the lift on the right! Enter the lift, but don’t send it up to your floor. Instead, when the doors close, climb through the hatch and get comfortable for your first wait. Eventually one of our targets, Schmutz will use the lift. If you look at your map and you see a target get in the other lift, don’t worry about it, he’s the scientist and we’ll be coming back for him later. Schmutz usually heads for the lift about the same time as the Sheikh arrives. If you want to keep an eye on him on the map, switch it to the Casino level and he’ll be between the bar on the right and the toilets just below it. If you’re tempted to try to take him out in the toilets, feel free to try – I just kept getting interrupted by other people!
When he does come to the lift, wait for it to start to move and strangle him. Take his suit and the key card to his room. Hop back down (make sure the doors are closed first) and exit the lift onto the 7th floor. Turn left around the corner and take a right where the corridor branches. go right to the end, turn left and follow the corridor to the room in the corner, suite 707. You’ll find the DNA Case just inside the door. Grab that and head back to the lift.
Go back to the Lobby, head down the stairs and swing around to the right to enter the Casino. Stick to the right-hand side and you’ll see a set of double- doors ahead. Take them (it means you’ll avoid all of the cameras covering the casino floor) and go through the doorway to the left. Go straight through the double-doors ahead of you to the bar. On the far side of the bar you’ll see a cordoned off area with two guards, approach them and allow yourself to be searched. Take the first left and the right and you’ll see the Sheikh sitting there. Approach him and he’ll talk for a moment before sending a courier to get the payment case. This is the next long wait. Finally the payment case arrives, but you can’t go anywhere yet, the DNA case now has to be brought back up to the scientist for testing (if you try to leave now you’ll be shot).
Eventually the Sheikh will receive a call on his mobile from the scientist during which he’ll leave to go outside. Take the payments case and follow him out and when he stops to talk on his phone kill him. Make sure you still have the case and head back to the bar. Return past the toilets and up the stairs to the main reception area and the lifts. Take the lift up to the 7th floor, and while it’s travelling, climb the hatch and leave the payments case there. Hop back down and turn left after exiting the lift. Go to the end and turn left again and you’ll see some doors on your right leading to a balcony with a member of staff having a smoke. You can ignore him, he’s too engrossed in his smoke to notice anything else, and between the sets of doors is a lattice you can climb up. At the top, shimmy to the left and climb through the window (keep an eye out for the patrolling cop.
Head to the right and around the corner. There’s a door on the left marked Staff Only. In there you’ll find a member of staff who walks about and then sits down for a bit. Use the map to see when he turns away from the door and goes to sit down. Quickly sneak up and sedate him. Take his suit and 8th floor key card and dump the body in the container. Head back out the same door and go straight to the end of the corridor. Turn to the left and follow the corridor around until you see the emergency exit doors on your right. Activate the alarm beside them and go through. Go up to the next set of doors, but don’t open them. No one can see you head for the scientists room, so you’re best bet is to wait here till the fire alarm stops and then open the doors and go straight to the room at the end. You have plenty of time before the scientist and his guards get back. Once in the room, go into the bathroom on your left and wait just inside the bathroom at the opposite door. Get your weapon of choice ready!
Watch on the map as the scientist leaves his guards and enters the bedroom. As he does so, open the door and you’ll see his shadow pass by as he goes to look out the window. Take him down and then go back through the bathroom. Sneak up and sedate the guard in the other room and take his suit.
Now you can walk out of the suite and head back to the lifts. Take the lift back to the lobby and climb the hatch to change back to your suit and grab the case. Leave the lift, swing around to the right and head back into the casino, but keeping to the left this time. You’ll see a set of double-doors ahead with an Exit sign above them. Go through them, through the doors ahead and up to the car to escape.
