Welcome to HITMAN 2 SILENT ASSASSIN - Mission 9 Walkthrough SHOGUN SHOWDOWN - PRO/SA (4K), by Nushka Games! #9 MISSION SHOGUN SHOWDOWN With the help of my video you will be able to achieve Silent Assassin Rank on Professional Difficulty. Right from the start, don't go up the stairs, first, notice the secret door on your right, leading Agent 47 through a tight upwards corridor. When reaching the door, first look at the keyhole, to spot the guard patrolling. Once you know it's safe, enter, and the fact Agent 47 makes a comment regarding the creaky castle, and it makes perfect sense. Walking through the floorboards will alert the guards, instead you have to use the main house foundations, marked by the steady, clear hood. That will be your safe path. Sneaking towards the stairs down below, use the secret door on the right after the stairway. It's kind of hidden, but that is the point. You're now at the guard living quarters. There is a guard who will regularly meditate here, allowing you to sedate/strangle him, but wait for him to leave and sneak by instead. Do take the Keycard on the shelf to your right though.

You can grab the guidance system here. Optionally, go to the fourth floor and talk to Mei Ling in the right room. Do not be seen by the concubine patrolling between the sixth floor and the room on the left, she will immediately panic and alert the guards. Mei Ling will ask you to take her with you and give you a special keycard and an additional save. Before heading to Hayamoto's room, you'll have to go towards the special guard's room. They are exceptionally blind and they will not be alarmed by your presence. I believe it's a game bug. Be mindful of the concubine. She seems to be more alert compared to Hayamoto's personal guards. She is your biggest obstacle here, so remember to use camera angles to gain an advantage when in cover. Climb the stairs towards Hayamoto's room, and sneak him while h ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy0ucvFvJE4
