In Himmapan luxury hotel in Bangkok, Jordan Cross, son of billionaire Thomas Cross, is recording a new album with his rock band The Class. A year ago Jordan was involved in the death of one Hannah Highmoore who fell to her death from Jordan's penthouse apartment, and while in the eyes of the general public Jordan managed to come out of the ordeal smelling like roses thanks to his father's influence, the girl's parents weren't satisfied. 47 has now been contracted to administer proper punishment to Jordan Cross.
The man behind getting Jordan out scot-free, crooked British lawyer and Cross family associate Ken Morgan, is also staying at the Himmapan and is the secondary target.
A hotel level in a Hitman game. They're usually the best ones.
As is evident in this video, there are some glitches. Since I didn't get any result screen I can only give you my word that this is worthy of Silent Assassin rating. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Db0mqis90
Smooth Operator kills Jordan Cross, leaves no evidence.
MISSION PLAN:
Shotgun, Red Duck, Yellow Duck.
Didn't go exactly according to plan. Too hard.

The little bag on the floor of the main hall with the stairs to the 2nd floor, it seems to hold all the loot collected in the cathedral. I was told that in this version of the game it only holds a little extra gold and that it's Thief Gold where it's all the previous loot, but I see now that my sources were incorrect.
And yes, I was a little stupid in this video. I was tired, okay?

Here's the fifth escalation from the Seven Deadly Sins DLC, "The Gluttony Gobbling".
Silent Assassin, Suit Only on all levels, all objectives and Wafer-Thin Muffin and Horsing Around challenges done.
In this escalation 47 is tasked with feeding a pig. The gimmick here is that several of the guard types in the level wear pig masks and when these masked guards are killed with the right tool corresponding to their type, they drop food items that you can then throw in the piggy's pot. The piggy has a list of which items to bring and how many, but besides that you're free to choose who to kill.
After completing the first objective in a level you get rewarded with additional items like dongles and gum, but like with many of these DLC escalation mid-level offerings, they're mostly not for efficient, experienced players looking for a SASO. An explosive phone? Who you gonna kill with that?
A fairly dull escalation that could've been much more interesting if they'd shuffled the NPCs around a lot more and had more varied shopping lists. There are some changes from the regular map and the levels themselves differ very slightly from each other, but after having recently done featured contracts for the challenges and unlocks, this felt like just more repetition of old. The choices for who to go after are not that game changing, unless you're hardcore into speedrunning escalations. Which I'm not.
Ever noticed how in modern Hitman games the guards are almost always paired up? Even here one generally has a mask and the other one doesn't. I understand the gameplay reason, having one watch the other to make getting past them harder on the player, but it's really started to bother me how obvious it is.
Have to admit that one of the items that comes with this escalation is probably the best of all DLC items: the sedative gum! It works just like a coin, but as an added bonus the person who picks it up eats it and falls unconscious. Took me a long time to realise what it actually did, because at this point I was so disappointed with the DLC that I just read "sedative" and figured it was a re-skin of a normal sedative poison or something equally lame. I actually only figured out what it was when recording this video, hence why I used it. It's great.
This gameplay was not thoroughly practiced, I partly just winged it. Only thing I knew I would do and how was killing the three white masks in level 2, which almost didn't work out because watching the cutscene changed the timing to almost impossible.
I did also redo level 3 because a glitch made it look confusing. What happened was that the first guard didn't drop a banana, but I didn't notice because I was in a hurry and I did pick up the gun so I thought I also had the banana because it wasn't on the ground.

The CEO of Arabian Pharmaceutical Exports, a company suspected of manufacturing and exporting illegal biological agents, Saudi Sheikh Al-Khalifa is buying some DNA specimens tonight at the Shamal hotel from a South African white supremacist named Hendrik Schmutz. To the deal the Sheikh will be bringing along one of his top scientists, Tariq Abdul Lateef, to deliver the payment and to confirm the authenticity of the goods.
47's hired to kill all three men, the Sheikh Al-Khalifa, his employee Tariq Abdul Lateef and the seller Hendrik Schmutz, and optionally retrieve the case of untraceable blood diamonds before exiting the hotel to the back alley.
Up till now I haven't spent any money on upgrading weapons or items in the game, in fact I haven't even brought along anything but the default gear you can't get rid of, but for this mission I upgraded the W2000 sniper rifle with light frame, bolt action, scope type 2 and silencer type 2. Why? Well, obviously because I needed a silenced sniper rifle, silly.
It's possible to beat the mission without any extra gear, but I'm not 100% certain there's any way to do that and still get Silent Assassin rating. MIGHT be, as I do have sort of an idea or two how it could theoretically go down, but I've never succeeded to kill the Sheikh silently, and without his body being found, in any other way. Have rarely even tried, I like sniping so much I sometimes snipe all three men for fun.
One of my favourite levels.

Here's the HITMAN 3 'Codename 47' challenge pack which unlocks the Codename 47 suit for the game after completing 5 separate challenges in different levels. The Codename 47 suit is, of course, the player skin from the first Hitman game titled "Hitman: Codename 47", released in the year 2000.
The five challenges are themed around levels from the original game:
(00:00) The Red Dragon
challenge asks you to get a sniper rifle headshot on any target from the neon sign vantage point in Chongqing. This is a reference to the level "Kowloon Triads in Gang War", where 47 must assassinate a Red Dragon negotiator in Hong Kong, preferably with a sniper rifle from a rooftop.
(01:30) Say Hello to My Little Friend
wants you to acquire the elusive gold idol in Santa Fortuna and pacify the Shaman with it. This is in reference to the jungle level "Find the U'wa Tribe" where 47 needs to recover a stolen artifact to gain the help of a local tribe in finding his target, with the challenge's name being the same as the mission where said target is eventually killed.
-TIP- The Gold Idol in Santa Fortuna disappears if you try to break in. You need the key from the guy.
(04:03) Traditions of the Trade
requires you to drown any target in Bangkok. This is a reference to a level of the same name where one of the people 47 needs to kill can be drowned in a hotel swimming pool.
(05:59) Explosions Run Loose
prompts you to kill five ICA agents with explosives in Berlin, and this MUST be done during the mission 'Apex Predator' and in one go. The challenge is in reference to 'Plutonium Runs Loose' from Codename 47, where 47 can use a car bomb to kill a target who is doing business with a local biker gang.
-TIP- There is another ICA agent who carries around an explosive at the lowest level of the map, around the dance floor area, if you need it.
(10:15) The Setup
MUST be done in the mission 'Untouchable' and wants you to kill all 47 guards in the level. It also asks you to take a trip down memory lane, but the challenge unlocked right after the last kill, before I had any choice of ending. The challenge is referencing the second-to-last mission 'The Setup' in Codename 47 where 47 is tricked into coming back to his "father" to be eliminated in a Romanian insane asylum so that the "superior" 48 can take over.
Untouchable's secret ending of 47 waking up in a padded cell and ready to follow his master is a direct reference to the beginning of Codename 47, hence why it fits this challenge.
