Hiring Birdie may not have been a bad idea as he has found out that somehow a southern arms industry magnate named Blake Dexter, currently residing at the Terminus Hotel room 899, has heard of and is interested in this Victoria business, and so room 899 is where 47 is now headed for some answers. My original, incredibly stupid idea was to try and eavesdrop on as many conversations as possible in the game since there's some funny dialogue and some behind the scenes plot threads that involve several conversations, and eavesdropping never hurt me in Thief games. Unfortunately Purist mode's extra guards add a bunch of new lines to the already overly abundant amount of NPC dialogue, so from here on out I do NOT stop to listen to them. It would take probably an hour per level even if I could listen to them all, which I can't because since they're triggered by moving close enough to the people some of them overlap each other no matter how careful I tried to be, and it would seriously hurt the smoothness of the gameplay, stopping for a minute at every 2 steps. I even went back to rerecord and reedit together a new version of the first mission once realized this, which is why there wasn't as many conversations in that video. I MIGHT record conversations-only videos of the levels if people are interested. One problem I have with Hitman: Absolution is the enemy paths being triggered by 47's position. Sure it at times makes the level seem more lively as people seem to move around more realistically and there isn't a need for twice the amount of guards, but at times it looks so damn fake and can even bug out. Right in this level when you're getting near the end, if you try and sneak up to room 899 through the window, just forget it. A guard will be triggered to come smoke at the window and once he's triggered he NEVER LEAVES, meaning you must throw him out or find a different route. I hate shit like this. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwbRhS29MMw

Author dies of migraine, haunts lover's oven. MISSION PLAN: Read some YA novels. Dragging Craig Black to the grave is for a challenge called "The Gravedigger" and technically it requires you to kill him in the crypt before dumping him in the grave, so break his neck before you drag him anywhere if you want to finish the challenge. Throwing the crowbar was completely pointless. It was needed to manipulate the AI in an earlier, less reliable version of this method, but in the heat of the moment I forgot what it was all about and did it out of instinct. It's not a big deal, but there are so many details to get right for this method to work that I figure it's relevant to point out the irrelevant actions as well. A fun little detail: you don't actually need to turn off the stove before sabotaging it. Apparently it shuts off on it's own or something. I wish it was consistent across all these games. Also, sometimes when the people see each other go unconscious from the pesticide, you'll lose SA. You'll definitely lose it if they're found by anyone else and woken up. I'm also sorry for running. It's most possibly not actually necessary for this to work, you'll just need to lure Brother Akram from his room to the kitchen. Running is for chumps, I just had a moment of weakness.
