Killing as a drummer
You can overhear a conversation between two members of The Class recording crew (M6,2) in the restaurant on level 2. They are discussing a new member of the group, Abel de Silva, a talented independent drummer. Agent 47 looks a lot like De Silva, so it’s an ideal way to get close to Cross.
If you get too close, the crew members will stop talking.
Go back to the restaurant disguised as a hotel security guard. Follow the unsuspecting Abel until he goes to the balcony (M6,13) to smoke. Sneak into the adjacent room and lure him inside with a coin or any heavy object. Eliminate him there, as it’s too risky to do it on the balcony. When you leave the room with the body, use the door opposite from the balcony to avoid being seen by the guard in the corridor. Head to the crew’s apartments upstairs (level 5) over the recording studio (M6,3). The guards won’t search you, so you can keep your belongings.
Dress up as Abel and approach Jordan Cross to gain his trust.
When dressed as Abel, approach Cross, and he will think you’re the new drummer. Follow him to the drum kit in the studio (M6,15), and show off your drumming skills. The crew will be impressed, and Cross will invite you for a private conversation on the building’s roof.
This will unlock the “Man Machine” challenge, and Cross will be impressed with Agent 47.
Don’t worry – Agent 47 has some drumming skills.
Once you reach the roof, Jordan Cross’s bodyguards will tell everyone to clear the area. Wait for the moment when the singer turns away and bends over the railing (M6,4). Push him off the roof to end his life. This action will shatter the glass roof over the hotel entrance and unlock the “You’re So Fly” challenge.
Do not delay – Cross will eventually leave the railing.
Birthday Cake Kill
Jordan Cross is celebrating his 27th birthday. Although everyone is pretending to ignore this fact, the musician’s manager is throwing him a simple surprise party. His father, who is absent, has ordered a special vegan cake for the event. The condition is to decorate the cake with a topping in the shape of the number 27. This is another opportunity to get close to the target and eliminate him.
You can get rid of a member of the kitchen staff in the icehouse without any witnesses.
The first step is to acquire a kitchen staff disguise. This will enable you to take the topping without raising suspicions. To do so, go to the kitchen’s storage area, where two cooks are doing inventory. Using either a coin or a can from the shelf, lure one of them into the icehouse (M6,11). There, you can knock the poor guy out and take his clothes.
Be aware of one of the kitchen staff members – he can see through your disguise.
Upon entering the kitchen, you can hear an employee complaining about Cross’s vegan cake preferences. In anger, he will stop looking at the counter where the number 27 topping is located (M6,17) and leave the kitchen. Wait until the other cook turns around. When that happens, approach the counter and take the topping without raising any suspicions.
Dexy Barat is hosting a party, but the cake was sent by the father, which creates a problem.
After taking the topping, head to the room with the cake and balloons (Level 3) – above the security room – where The Class crew wearing party hats are waiting for Cross to arrive. You can eliminate Cross in two ways. First, poison the cake (M6,5) using the pills from the vial you took from one of the hotel rooms’ bathrooms (M6,2)) right before or soon after putting the topping on the cake. While wearing a kitchen staff disguise, you can do that without arousing the attention of the enthusiastic crew members. They will assume you are adjusting the topping. This method will unlock the “Have Your Cake” challenge. Alternatively, you can choke Cross with the cake when the entire crew (along with the manager) leaves the room. To do this, approach Cross from behind when he is leaning over the cake. This will also unlock the “Icing On The Cake” challenge.
If you haven’t already poisoned the cake, breaking into the Himmapan hotel’s manager’s office will give you the opportunity to kill Jordan Cross.
Bugman Kill
While searching through Mrs. Mookjai’s desk, you will find an exterminator’s schedule (M6,18). By reading it, you will learn that an exterminator is supposed to inspect the Emperor’s Suite and neutralize insects there – this could be your chance to eliminate Jordan Cross.
The exterminator’s schedule can reveal a possible way to kill Jordan Cross.
The first step in this plan involves obtaining an exterminator’s disguise (M6,19). To do this, simply follow the exterminator until he enters the room with the ventilation system controls. When the technician and a hotel staff member enter the room, hide behind the shelf next to the hotel boy. Wait for the technician to turn his back, then knock out the hotel boy and drag him behind the shelf. The exterminator may hear the commotion, but he won’t have time to raise the alarm if you act quickly.
Eliminating both men shouldn’t be a problem.
Once you have an exterminator’s disguise, you can obtain the insecticide (M6,7) from the exterminator’s van without arousing suspicion. Be careful, though – the other technician may be watching you. Wait until he leaves the area or is distracted before taking the chemicals.
Only take the insecticide while wearing the exterminator disguise.
With the insecticide in hand, find the hotel manager (usually found in the backyards or main hall) and speak to her. She will call The Class crew and ask them to vacate the Emperor’s Suite. Wait for the crew to move to the atrium.
Mrs. Mookjai can be found in the main hall or the backyards.
While the crew is moving, head to the Emperor’s Suite and activate the keyboard (M6,16) to unlock the “La Cucarachat” challenge. Return to the atrium and interact with the ventilation system (M6,10). Pour the insecticide into the vent.
After poisoning the ventilation system, act quickly to eliminate Jordan Cross.
After a short while, everyone in the atrium will be unconscious. Quickly identify Jordan Cross among the bodies (M6,6) and eliminate him with a suppressed pistol or by snapping his neck to unlock the “Oh Snap!” challenge. Note that this plan only allows you to eliminate one target – before Ken Morgan arrives to investigate, The Class crew will wake up and leave the atrium.
To possibly unlock the bugged challenge, shoot him in the head a few times.
Intervention
As you walk towards the hotel from the right, you’ll come across two hotel staff members conversing (M6,17). They’re discussing a secret recording of Hannah Highmoore, Jordan Cross’s ex-girlfriend, that the musician is fixated on. The manager has taken the audio recording from her room, and this would be an excellent way to remind Cross of his misdeeds.
You can eavesdrop on the hotel staff early on in the mission.
First, Agent 47 must sneak into the Emperor’s Suite, where Barat’s room number 404 is located (M6,18). If you haven’t obtained the outfit from one of Cross’s bodyguards yet, try grabbing a recording crew disguise. Climb up the drainpipe from the balcony of room 102 (M6,20) and into the bedroom of room 202 (M6,19), where a member of The Class crew resides, with no witnesses. You can knock him out and take his clothes.
After knocking out the crew member, drag his body onto the balcony, where it will be invisible.
You can now safely proceed to room 404 on the top floor, where Barat keeps the recording. You can either wait by the door for the perfect opportunity to sneak in undetected (when the two guards leave, you can fool the third one with a coin), or steal clothes from one of Jordan Cross’s personal bodyguards, allowing you to enter Barat’s room without being detected.
The safe is protected by a code, which only Dexy Barat knows.
Once inside room 404, you’ll discover that the recording is in a safe (M6,21), and Barat has the code (which you can learn from the manager’s note “On Penthouse Safe,” which is located in the monitoring room). The woman carries the code on her person, so you’ll have to take it by force. Agent 47 must lure her into a room next to room 404 (M6,22) to do this. You can use coins to do this, but using the guitar (M6,6) stored in that room (which will also unlock the “Power Chord” challenge) is a faster and more enjoyable option. The woman will be concerned about the noise and enter the room, providing you with an excellent opportunity to take her out and earn the secret achievement “Memory Loss.”
Using coins to lure Dexy Barat into the room is difficult.
Now, it’s time for the final step – return to room 404 and open the safe to find a USB flash drive inside. After taking the USB flash drive, go to the rooms on the other side of this wing. Once inside Cross’s room, locate his computer (M6,23) and play the recording. This will unlock the “Intervention” challenge. While waiting for Cross, Agent 47 must sit in the armchair (M6,12), which is concealed by the large folding screen. Killing the musician will unlock the “Fade to Black” challenge, but only do so when there are only two opponents in the corridor; otherwise, you’ll have difficulty escaping.
Take the recording to Cross’s computer and play it. The musician will rush in.
Electric Mic Kill
You will discover another way to kill Jordan Cross – by using a faulty microphone near the port. Take the stairs leading to the hotel, turn left, and walk straight until you reach the two members of The Class crew (M6,24). Eavesdrop on their conversation to learn that Wes Liston, the producer of Cross’s new album, has ordered a commonly known faulty microphone. This can be used for an accidental kill.
Blend in with the environment to avoid drawing attention from the gossipers.
First, go to room 207 (M6,25) – where Julian, who picked up the microphone from the reception, lives. It’s easiest to get there while disguised as hotel staff, and you need a master keycard (M6,14) to open room 207. When you have the disguise and keycard, go to the third level in the south wing, enter the right room, and steal the microphone (M6,7).
Branson MD-2 microphone. The lovers left it in the box.
After getting the mic, steal Julian’s clothes (M6,4) – they are in room 207’s bathroom, next to the bathtub. Be cautious while wearing the sound technician’s outfit – some of the crew members can expose your disguise if they look at you for too long. When you’re in the studio, approach Wes Liston and have a conversation with him.
The producer will ask you to replace the microphone and jam a track – do it.
The producer will ask Agent 47 to swap out the original microphone in the booth with the faulty Branson MD-2 (M6,8). In a moment, you will be able to unlock the “47 Out” challenge. Follow Wes’s instructions and approach the mixing table (M6,26). Liston will ask Agent 47 to jam a song – this mini-game requires you to choose the right sound section in all four columns.
This is the right combination for mixing Wes’s song.
Now, wait for Jordan Cross to arrive and sing his song in the recording booth – this is when you should adjust the voltage on the voltage regulator (M6,9). When he touches the mic, the musician will be electrocuted, and it will be seen as an accident. This will also unlock the “Thunder Kiss ’65” challenge.
