Way #1: Disguise of a Lover
Obtain the love letter
To assassinate Francesca, it is necessary to pretend to be her secret admirer. Acquire the disguise of The Help and go to her private room (M4,13). Collect the love letter (M4,4), which reveals her romance with the golf trainer.
Listen to the phone call
Proceed to her lover (M4,19) and listen to his phone call. He is about to meet Francesca. Obtain his disguise by attacking him or poisoning his water (M4,20).
Collect the rat poison
The poison can be found in the storeroom (M4,20), located in the basement (M4,7). After drinking some contaminated water, your target will go to the toilet (M4,18). Follow her, knock her out, take her disguise, and hide her body in the wardrobe. Pick up her phone and call De Santis. Go to her room (M4,13).
Wait for Francesca
Once there, sit in the dark on a chair. Listen to your target’s monologue and eliminate her. Hide her body in a chest and take the magnetic card that she dropped, granting access to the lab.
Way #2: Using Information from the Safe
Listen to the conversation
Francesca is a challenging target to eliminate, as she never strays too far from her bodyguards. To change this, obtain the valuable documents from a safe. She will be compelled to make a phone call on the roof of Caruso’s mansion. Go there and proceed to the attic (M4,45). Listen to the guards’ conversation about the safe (M4,33).
Get the safe combination
You will need a code to enter. Exit through the door to the attic (M4,45), go left, and down the pipe. An open window to Silvio’s private office will be visible. The code will be on the desk (M4,15). Return to the attic and open the safe to obtain the DNA samples.
Cause a fatal accident
Show her the documents and take a screwdriver for the boxes (M4,36) before going to the balcony. Dismantle the wires (M4,37) located under one of the tables to create a short circuit. Proceed to the water switch (M4,38). Wait for the target to start talking near the faulty appliance, then turn on the water. Francesca will be electrocuted to death.
Method #3: Hiring a Private Investigator
Enter the hair salon and eavesdrop on the conversation
Head to the hair salon (M4,31) and listen in on a conversation about a private investigator in town. Francesca is set to meet with him. Exit the salon and walk to a man sleeping on a bench (M4,32).
Knock out the man and steal his attire
Wake the man by turning on a radio. He will take a phone call and leave for his client. Follow him and knock him out when you reach a narrow alley. Take his suit and dispose of the body in a dumpster.
Trail Francesca to a secluded spot and eliminate her
Proceed to the pier (M4,21) and wait for De Santis to appear. Talk to her and go with her to a different location (M4,22). Strangle her when she begins to explain why she needs the investigator. Conceal her body in a dumpster and remember to retrieve her magnetic card.
Method #4: Utilizing a Gas Bottle
Toss the gas bottle through the chimney while Francesca uses the fireplace
Retrieve the documents from the safe and promptly return to the attic (M4,45). Grab a gas bottle as Francesca begins to burn the documents. Drop the bottle down the chimney (M4,34). This will instantly kill her. Flee the attic before the guards arrive.
Method #5: Poisoning in the Virus Room
Wait for Francesca to enter the lab before activating the ventilation
To pursue this approach, destroy the virus to draw Francesca to the lab. Proceed to the room with the virus and approach the vent (M4,41). Activate the air conditioning when she begins to investigate.
Method #6: Firing a Cannon
Wait for Francesca to appear before firing the cannon
Initiate this method like the third one. However, after waking up the investigator, head to the courtyard with cannons (M4,43). Retrieve a cannonball (M4,19) and a bag of powder to load the cannon aimed at the pier. Francesca will soon arrive on the pier. Wait for the opportune moment and fire the cannon to eliminate her.
Method #7: Assassinating Francesca with a Sniper Rifle
Choose a location to shoot Francesca
This method can be executed in various ways. Acquire a sniper rifle, which will be delivered to your hideout. Then, proceed to one of the following locations: the top of the towers (M4,57), (M4,42), steeple (M4,24), or the bohemian’s room (M4,34). Eliminating Francesca from these spots is simple, but you must leave quickly.
