Hitman: Blood Money - Mission #1 - Death of a Showman (Silent Assassin Method)

[@phasmidd107]

Even though this is just a tutorialish-contract, it's still one of the saddest and harshest background-wise imo

the swing king comes off pathetic and inept of a character but his mistakes he made kept him from ever being successful in life.

Virgin Swing King vs Chad Meat King

[@alessiodibella2003]

One of the best settings in the game and a very great way to start it

[@DanielTheAssassin]

It's also one of the hardest missions to do Silent Assassin solely because of the fact it's built like a tutorial.

I believe he said it in Hitman 2 as well. It was either 1 or 2, it's if you do one of the story ways that lets you meet with a character in private.

"Please, look at the photograph Mr. Clarence." He sounds tired. That fascinates me for some reason.

[@minihalkoja590]

Probably not the first time he's done something like this. And seeing how stoic and professional 47 is, it's probably so tiring for him to deal with the crying and whining.

[@somerandomassguyontheinter2869]

canonically, he’s used to dealing in accidents and impersonal violence, so actually confronting the target on a special request is probably his equivalent to being a starbucks barista making a tiktok drink

[@FarCryfanLove]

Considering the amount of challenge getting Silent Assassin it’s weird that it’s canon according to the cutscene at 18:05

[@twinodoom]

The skill ceiling between 47 and the average Hitman player is high.

[@minihalkoja590]

​@@twinodoomTrue. But you can out-do 47 in _Better Watch Out..._ because the newspaper clipping of that mission which you can later see in Hitman Absolution, states that a few guards also died canonically in a shootout.

[@nikhilcruz]

This is such an amazing video, from the extremely bizarre and subpar standards BM has to achieve SA to that unintentionally hilarious kill on Swing King.

[@thebigdudestudios]

This wasn't a contract, this was a service. 47 did a service for the innocent lives lost

[@autinjones7194]

I don't know. Swing King is definitely guilty on some level. But I don't know if assassination was necessary. it did seem as though this was a genuine accident and he feels nothing but guilt about what he did. And I don't know if his actions should be attributed to the actions of those punks that took over his park. It's pretty obvious they were just using him and he wasn't in a position to refuse.

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

@@autinjones7194 Thats just it though. It could easily of been neglect on his part ,or someone not doing their job. Though since it seems there wasn't anyone he could pin, the blame leads to him. Besides, its a damn Ferris Wheel. It can't be that hard or expensive to at least make sure that its functioning right. It just seems that whatever happened, were in the dark of what truly happened, and that seems fitting for the main character and his profession. There is something truly sad him clutching to his trophy and getting upset seeing it broke though.

[@stardust_2339]

Nicely done, thank you for making a Silent Assassin run too!

[@_PhamBaoDuy-tt2os]

In this video there are no Commentary or Guide so you may think Hitman Series Killed but the fact is simple. The game will check if you killed someone or not to give you SA rating. Now here's a few rule the game did not tell you but a SpeedRunner will. if an NPC have seen you they will annoy as F and for few more secs if you don't leave the Limit Area you will get shot at for TressPassing but the game will not take away your SA as long as you're not attacking them back or pull out your GUN and reveal yourself as an Hired Assassin so the NPC that have seen you attack will become Witness NPC (another rule of SA is to leave no Witnesses). The NPC that the game want you to kill at 4:56 is about to kill a man on the Pony Ride, and for some reason if you let the man to be killed by the NPC the game will add that to YOUR Kill Count and take away SA Rank so the best way is to Knock him out when you get a chance to distract him (even if you manage to pass by this NPC after succesfully Distract him without Knock him out he will still going to kill the Pony Ride man). At 8:33 there's a small frame to fall down on this NPC head without bumping onto his hitbox, after that you will have to Knock the NPC out because he will automaticly check the Fuze Box next to him when you HAVE to sabotage it. At 15:22 Hitman Series break the rule of TressPassing by attacking these 2 NPC, but at the same time the game will make these NPC became Witness NPC, now in order to leave no Witnesses you must kill them but then that would broke the No Killing Rule you may asked, by accident of course, around 15:16 you can see Hitman Series use bare hand to KNOCK OUT 2 NPC out and then actually kill them by Throwing them over the Rail at 15:33 which would led to Accident kill (This rating is different from Kill Stat) and maintain SA. At 17:09 Hitman Series have to distract these guy with a Big sound like bomb in this video or a gun fire and then sneak past because his health is low and Snoop Dog with his Goon are not Target so kill them will add to kill count.

[@XXIII_89]

This helped me understand, cause I've tried to get SA on this level myself, but I guess I never realized accident kills keep your SA even against civilians like the secretary at the end? Damn now that I know that I kinda wanna replay the game.

[@_PhamBaoDuy-tt2os]

@@XXIII_89 the secretary has already became a Witness when you attack the Thug talking to her. SA require no witnesses , but if you ask if Civilian can be killed for fun through "Accident" then yes and SA will remain. EZ way to test this is through Mission "You Better Watch Out...", Chad Bingham, Jr the second Target will bathing with random NPC on high floor, you can shoot the Celling Bottom of The BathTub from where you spawn to kill them "Accidentally".

[@jorlok_zander]

For some reason it keeps giving me Professional, even though there are no witnesses, no extra deaths, no disguise busting, no shots, no murder weapon, nothing in the paper, just says the swing king died by a professional. Do you know what might be the reason?

[@_PhamBaoDuy-tt2os]

@@jorlok_zander Gonna need a video of your performance to pin point cuz if not is impossible to hand out advice. But i do suspect that you did not save the Pony Ride man, he in fact will be added to your Killed Stat without any Warning on Paper like you have said, if being killed by another NPC at the start of the level.

[@jorlok_zander]

Ok, like 20 attempts later I've installed Statman and figured it out. I had "2 bodies discovered" with my strat, apparently those two hookers that run into each other when you turn off the lights eventually get discovered, when the lights are back on, and of course everyone thinks it's Hitman -_- and it doesn't say anything in the newspaper about it, and neither do NPCs comment on it, it's the sneakiest bastard. But anyway, you just have to either hide their bodies while the lights are still off, or, better, knock out the guy who would turn them on later, like shown at 9:45 . Although you don't actually have to hide his body or anything, as long as the lights are off, you can just knock him out where you caught him.

47 most of the times is neutral karma..but here...he definitly was good karma.

[@Hassan047]

Weird but wonderful- sublime work HS

[@minituberpro2278]

I don't know about other versions, but in HD Enchached Collection, at 8:54 guard behind the wall where is the fusebox will always hear you. I've tried to both push him and to knock him out by taking him as human shield, but the guard both ways will hear you. I also tried to turn off the fusebox, but it doesn't work either. You have to throw the coin at the right side of elevator to distract the elvator guard. Before he spots you, sneak behind him. I'm not sure if he walks to the coin or just stands looking towards it, but just push him. That way you won't alert the guard behind the fusebox. Hope this would help out.

Plat it on ps3 and ps4,had many runs on pc.And only today discovered that tutorial mission can be SA,i have no words.Amazing run by the way

[@Chingbong1]

I got silent assassin on every mission but this one. This is the hardest mission to get SA because the game literally gives you specific instructions which make your rating Professional/Specialist automatically.
