On my first playthrough of the detective mission i didnt play detective, didnt find the murderer, didnt kill the target. I just explored the map and eventually the target died. 10/10 mission.
@Kentucky Fried Pigeon It is possible that he lied,but i remmember seeing that gamegrumps video where they kill 30 people with an electrified puddle,so how farfetched could it be?
@@chee.rah.monurB in H3 the kills arent ordered for money, 47 and Lucas are attacking an organization on their own accord. But i think in other scenarios (like the ones in the video) the target only needs to die, the person hiring him would be aware he works in mysterious ways and any cause wouldve been part of his scheming.
With the painting thing, that’s something I love about hitman. The countless seemingly useless skills he has perfected. He can sell a house, fix a car, cook a perfect meal, paint, play the drums, work audio equipment. All this shit mastered just in the slight chance he ever needs to use anything to get to the target.
In Santa Fortuna you can take the identity of the professional tatoo artist and fix up the messed tatoo of one of your targets who wants the face of his wife tatooed on his neck. And the target himself respects your work and says you did an excellent job.
She knew what 47 was about to do. Outsidexbox didn't show it but if you do that mission story Diana gets her to that spot and asks her how she'd like to go out. She tells Diana "Shot to the back of the head. No warning, no pain."
Best thing about the Kashmirian is of course, that two targets have each ordered a hit on one another. So after having him deal with Rangan, you can also have him assassinate Vanyah Schah, after which he will lead you to the third target, the Maelstrom, by whom he hopes to get hired after having shown of his skills by killing the other two.
@@odysseus_kopisMaybe they didn't mentioned it because it was too similar to Dawood's proxy kill but an honorable mention would have been good as well.
In the Icon mission i legitimately caused an accidental kill. I was trying to sneak past the backstage and ended up caught, witch cause a little commotion and suddenly the target kill notification pops up. Took me a few moments to process what really happened: all the mess i caused happened during the action scene shooting and somehow Dino Bosco became frightened and stopped in the in the middle of the scene, which result in him being trample to death by the robot.
Not technically Hitman, but in Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, if you throw a bomb in the right spot, one of the Shielded Sanitized Octarians will fall off a bridge and die.
@@zigzaghyena Well, you play as an Octoling: a genetic experiment with ties to a shady, murderous organization. Your objective is to travel around a map and kill targets with various weapons, and your objective is easier 100% of the time when you aren’t noticed.

@@juangomez5197 I've gotta make a note of that. I can't wait to make that happen - just gonna fix the lab equipment, go straight to getting the case file, then just wait by one of the exits.
the funniest thing about the Jordan Cross one is that the entire reason your targeting those two is cause he pushed a girl out a window and her distraught parents want justice, so for him to do the exact same goddamned thing to his lawyer who got him off the first time only for 47 to do it to him immedietly after is some shakespearian level writing
And it's reveled that this whole thing was a set up. A person nicknamed the shadow client wanted to takedown a illuminati style org, which Cross's dad and Ken were members of. So shadow got the parents to know the truth so they'll hire ica who'll get 47 to murder Jordan and Ken, with Jordan's assassination being to lure out his dad
From what I remember hearing, in the Bangkok mission the devs didn't expect anyone to actually get the two targets together, so when they found out people could do it through this method, they added in the extra argument and kill.
I’m pretty sure the butler would be cleared once the other person very obviously kills someone, and the detective that accused him mysteriously disappears
And the real detective is found unconscious and naked in a bush near the house with no recollection of ever being inside. Kinda paints the fake detective Agent 47 as the culprit.
Wouldn't even need to go that far. If you accuse the butler, Alexa surmises that he killed Zachary to protect the Carlisle name and asks you to forget the investigation ever happened.
You can even tell Alexa you are 47 and what you’re after. For story reasons this paints you as a natural ally to her (since she’s still somehow alive in your presence) and she asks that you use her info to kill the constant
47 doesn't just tell Alexa that Zachary killed himself, he tells her that Zachary found out that Alexa's decision to kill Montgomery to gain control of their family business was pointless because Montgomery was going to let Alexa run the family business anyway, as he had no talent for business and she did, and Zachary couldn't handle the guilt anymore.
It's like that old story of The Elves and the Murder Maker. The murder maker, through no fault of her own, had found herself with a broken poison machine without the means to mend it. She lay down for the night, skricken with consternation over how she would fix it. There was no need however. For the next day, she found her poison machine all fixed up like new. A friendly little Hit-Elf has visited.

Surprised Andy forgot to mention that the Kashmirian will also snipe the other target after he changes position if you adjust his scope again, this time you just have to find the laundromat foreman’s notes and return them so he meets with the target on the bridge. Hell, after that, Kashmirian will even lead you to where the third target is hiding.
I wish I'd realised that. I used him on my SASO run on that map. Sneaking up the tower to replace the guys paint was a pain in the backside! I can't remember how I got her to be honest. Maybe I did do the 2 for 1?
@@Zoso14892 Well, replacing the paint is crucial for the SASO on Dawood, but yeah, the notes allow for SASO on Vanya. Not sure about the third guy, since he’s usually in his heavily guarded underground base. Normally you’re supposed to dress up as Kashmirian to get in.
You can also get Yates to kill Vidal in Mendoza. If you do the wine tour, letting Vidal live through it, she attends the secret meeting that Yates is heading and he'll get one of his guards to kill her when she disagrees with killing Diana.
I wonder if that gets around the PS5 bug I had on that mission. It might be fixed now, but I killed Vidal with the grape press like Andy. I caused a massive wine spillage but Yates didn't leave the room. I got suspicious it was bugged then, and when he wouldn't leave to kill Diana in the villa above that confirmed the bug for me. I might try killing them in a different order or leaving Vidal alive longer to see if that gets around the bug. Might try it the first way again just to see if the bug is still there first. I was on my way a nice 5 star SA score until that bug. Finally just had to shoot Yates in front of his guards and make a run for it. Sapienza is still the worst level for me. Colorado is easy by comparison (5 star SA on my second run).
Update on my run: I disguised as the lawyer and killed Yates with the pen on the desk. I did that first and then went on the wine tour and killed Vidal with the grape press again. 5 star Silent Assassin that run; took the time to wipe the tapes before killing Vidal. The security disguise is perfect.
I honestly love proxy kills in Hitman, it's the closest thing you can do as a "pacifist" run on a Hitman level outside of escalations that just want you to knock out targets and steal stuff but not kill them.
Also with the Dartmoor mission, depending on the choice you give, you can make Alexa Carlisle jump off the roof herself! That way you don't even have to get anyone else involved!
I didn't realize this was going to happen-- I just wanted her out on the balcony so I could get Piano Man nice and easy! I was crouched behind her, all ready with the fiber wire, and you can imagine my surprise when she jumped over all on her own!
Another great example is the theatre mission in Blood Money, in which you can swap a prop Mauser gun for a real one and get the target killed by a fellow actor
@@marhawkman303 technically 47 gave him the tools, the guy did choose to carry out the murder. Though 47 is indirectly responsible through drugging the guy
I mentioned this in one of your older Hitman videos, but Agent 47s ability to assume the role of any profession really reminds me of the TV show from the 90s called The Pretender I think it was. Except that guy had to at least do a couple minutes of reading on the subject to be perfect at it instead of just somehow already being a master at it. But similar idea.
Pretty sure that was based off a imposter who quickly read a book on surgery to work as a naval surgeon during the Korean War under the identity of someone else
Solving the mystery in Dartmoor was one of the most fun things I've done in a game in ages, and I can't imagine playing the mission in any other way. It was definitely the highlight of the game for me
Dartmoor actually has a couple of them. As the detective you can guilt Alexa into committing suicide. But also in a callback to the embarrassing kills video. You can get the photographer to kill her instead. You just have to set it up for him, as you would if you were wearing his disguise.
You forgot the best one in Mendoza: By following a certain opportunity you can unlock a secret second one, in which Yates shoots Vidal and "imprisons" Burnwood. You then have 10 minutes to save her after which you have a shot to kill Yates, which you can also let Burnwood do. Funny how there's two separate ways in this level to win without killing at all
I'm a fan of the kill in Chonqing in Hitman 3, where you can use the information Royce gives you, along with the computer she'll conveniently leave you standing alone at and video cameras targeted at particular staff members to get one of her own newly-fired former employees to accidentally roast her alive.
Seriously, no mention about Chongqing's Medium Rare? Imogen introduces you to her behavioural prediction system in the data centre, and you only need to fire 3 people in the right order to be all "well done, Imogen".
After deactivating the safety inside the core I only fired the lady in charge of the core maintenance thing while royce was inside it and she killed her.
The best way to kill the target at Darkmoor is to convince her that her actions actualy drove her brother to suicide, wich makes her commit suicide in turn. Wich kinda is a kill by proxy if you ask me...
I love the irony of the sniper team talking about the 1% killings - with the 1% killer standing right behind them 😂 Also with the Hokkaido surgery machine - you can remove the safety mechanisms on it. Though what those arms do to Soders then...makes most slasher movies look like Disney cartoons!
We need a "What happened next" competition using the videos from the Hitman Playlist. There are so many good moments ranging from the Lucky duck Elusive, right the way to the bust Escalation mishap!
You can get the Kasmarian to kill *both* of your targets for you on the Mumbai level - they've both contracted him to kill the other one, and he'll move on to the other target after the one you've shown. You just have to get her into place for him as well.
Regarding the Kashmirian, for added proxyness, you can also give the paint found near the stairs and please it in the art gallery and also place the paper found somewhere in the laundry to the room where the foreman was.
As you you can replace the artists missing paint in Mumbai to move Rangan into position, using the Kashmirian to assassinate Rangan and Shah is my favourite SA/SO tactic in the trilogy.
3:40 You don't need to dress up as artist. You can also bring the real artist missing paint. He will then call for Rangan and start painting himself. All the while you can go set up the other proxy kill. Too bad the projector electrocution kill from the training mission in Hitman 1 was not included.
I don't agree with calling the assassin in Mumbai "second rate" because he can also snipe the other target too, provided she goes off and makes a dumb speech (two for the price of one!) He's also really good at tracking down your third target for some murder happy fun time.
I'll also note that in the detective route in the mansion, you can find a hidden room containing a letter that revealed that Alexa and her husband killed someone to get their fortune, however, the letter reveals that such an action was unnecessary. Revealing this information to Alexa and ruling her husbands death as suicide causes her to realize who you are, but instead of going after you, she gives you the papers on Arthur, then gently tosses herself off the balcony.
The Mumbai kill can be even more amazing - you can get two NPCs to move Rangan and Shah into position by simply giving two objects to them: the artist’s blue paint for Rangan and the laundry foreman’s documents for Shah. The Kashmirian will take them out and all you had to do was move two objects to two NPCs. So it’s like a proxy of a proxy. It’s honestly one of the greatest pieces of game design I’ve ever seen.
There's a secret mission story in Mendoza where Yates tries to kill Diana, Vidal stands in the way (and is killed), and then Yates takes Diana to a secluded area and then she stabs him in the throat, so technically that's two for none
Have to say the writing in this episode was top notch. Had me laughing out loud a bunch of times. Especially the bit about helping out the other assassin by hammering the bullet into the target and yeeting a donor heart lol.
The rock star one is foreshadowed in the beginning when it talks about how his ex girlfriend supposedly died committing suicide by jumping off a balcony but the game heavily implies she was pushed by him during an argument. (You can even find a recording that he kept of her last moments that make it even more obvious that she was pushed.) Ultimately, it's ironic that the lawyer who helped the rock star avoid the murder charge. Gets murdered in the same way, and by the same person, who in turn can be murdered in the same manner as the hitman.
That's easily one of the juciest hitman kills in the series. Gonna be honest, part of me wonders what the outcome would've been if Jordan wasn't taken out after killing Morgan. (Probably kidnapped and killed alongside his father, cause 27 club)
@Ghost Tactician Wasn't he helping to design the ultimate murder virus, which could be coded to affect anyone in the world and not harm anyone else, so all you have to do is release it near the target and they'll soon get infected and die? He's gonna put Agent 47 and all the other Hitmen out of their jobs. The ICA Assassins' union probably took out the contract.
Hey if you can't bring yourself to kill people just because they might be innocent, you probably shouldn't be in the assassination business. If it turns out they actually ARE innocent or just don't deserve to die, you CAN obviously cancel the hit if you want to (hitmen in real life tend to be cheap but self-employed).
These Hitman videos with commentary from Andy are my new favorite thing, because I, too, just want to talk about all the miscellaneous things I know from the World of Assassination trilogy.
The worst part about the Hokkaido proxy kill is that the surgeon, once he comes off his high, realizes what he's done and jumps off a ledge. And yes, this counts as a non-target kill. Personally, my favorite kill on that stage - while not exactly a proxy kill, is one that keeps your hands clean - is the "One Last Time, Mr. Soders" kill. Get to the operating room with Soders in your default suit, and talk to him. He recognizes you, and then has a heart attack and dies.
Omg. To think that I did not know this avenue was open for eliminating targets. That's amazing! Makes me respect the game even more also. Thank you for the video!
love the subtle humor in the Kashmirian-painting one, when you continued painting as though nothing happened there's a bit of a target centered on the guy's head lmao 4:00
fun fact, theres actually two ways of getting morgan and cross to kill each other. one way is the one shown here..the other is as abel da silva, when jordan is on the roof, if you time it right, you push jordan off the roof, onto the glass awning, which he falsl through and lands on morgan, killing them both, similar to how you could off viktor and margolia in paris
2:15 You could also claim Zachary committed suicide and Alexa will jump off the balcony bcuz she felt guilty since Zachary "killed himself" for not being able to survive the world without Alexa
In Mendoza, you can also kill Vidal by making sure she escorts Olivia to the meeting. There, she will support her and get killed by your other target for it.
Also the hitman games does give the players so many different options for kill you're targets in so many different types of choices to use anything as a weapon and alongside many different types of back up plans just incase the main plan fails you still have so many options to pick from as well as an escape plan and back up escape plans if the main access route is being blocked by something or someone you always have back ups plans for that too after all you have got to cover all of you're bases and also tie up some loose ends witch you can to cover you're tracks and also get rid of any evidence that proves that you wasn't there when it happened
Why did Don Yates hold on to those documents? Was he going to give it to his wife as a present? "Happy anniversary, my love! I got you evidence that I destroyed your career for my own gain."
Bad guys never destroy incriminating evidence even when there's utterly no reason to keep it. My favourite non-game example was from the Bond film _You Only Live Twice_ when Bond finds a critical clue in the form of a photograph of a ship somewhere in Japan with a helpful handwritten note on the back that SPECTRE had the couple who took the photograph killed in order to conceal the evidence they'd unwittingly taken a picture of. You know, the picture that the note was written on. Which they kept. And confessed to a crime no one else knew about.
The best part about The Kashmirian is he will kill 2 of the 3 targets in that mission and you don't even need to get directly involved. Just find the missing paint for the painter and a missing file for a Laundry Supervisor and place them covertly for the npcs and they will move the targets into position for you.
On my first playthrough of the detective mission i didnt play detective, didnt find the murderer, didnt kill the target. I just explored the map and eventually the target died. 10/10 mission.
You made it sounds like you explored for so long that she eventually died of old age lol

Oh my, that banana swimming pool kill is brilliant.
I swear officer, she just fell down and broke her neck.
47 is a man of so many professions that I'm starting to think he might be Jonny Sins.
I'm surprised he hasn't been in a Hitman porn parody series...or has he? I'mma go Google some stuff.
If not, he should plan that. It'd be hilarious.
@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human Hitman: Abonelution or Hitman: Blood Money Shot
47 is a man of many talents after all 😂
he does have the hair for the role
I read this as 7 gluten free hitman kills. 😂
Well....yes?
To be fair, that is also true
Just like Mister Jason Portman would have wanted it.
It's a list of all of them except throwing a muffin at Sean Bean.
@@Tabbyclaw actually we have no idea if the muffin has gluten. granted, most muffins do, but it could be gluten free. we'll never know
Another great example is the theatre mission in Blood Money, in which you can swap a prop Mauser gun for a real one and get the target killed by a fellow actor
You predicted alec baldwin
@@Josh-pu7th io predicted the alec baldwin incident
@@SimuLord Yep, it was a C96 Mauser
I got to give 47 props for letting the dude get revenge for his father's murder
He's a big believer in justice.
But tricked another father into killing his daughter
And get arrested for murder and lose his medical license.
@@misterbin00 yeah, arguably worse than just whacking the guy. Sure, you didn't do it but now someone else is getting jail time or worse.
@@marhawkman303 technically 47 gave him the tools, the guy did choose to carry out the murder. Though 47 is indirectly responsible through drugging the guy
I mentioned this in one of your older Hitman videos, but Agent 47s ability to assume the role of any profession really reminds me of the TV show from the 90s called The Pretender I think it was. Except that guy had to at least do a couple minutes of reading on the subject to be perfect at it instead of just somehow already being a master at it. But similar idea.
Equally, Joe 90.
Pretty sure that was based off a imposter who quickly read a book on surgery to work as a naval surgeon during the Korean War under the identity of someone else
Solving the mystery in Dartmoor was one of the most fun things I've done in a game in ages, and I can't imagine playing the mission in any other way. It was definitely the highlight of the game for me
Dartmoor actually has a couple of them.
As the detective you can guilt Alexa into committing suicide.
But also in a callback to the embarrassing kills video. You can get the photographer to kill her instead. You just have to set it up for him, as you would if you were wearing his disguise.
In the Mendoza mission you can get Yates to kill Tamara in the meeting, and then Diana kills Yates. So you don’t have to kill either
Diana doesn’t kill him. She stabs him but you still have to finish it
@@ChokoboLP if you wait 2-3 he actually bleed out on floor
2-3 minutes
technically that requires you to also kill two optional kills as well as finish off Yates
You forgot the best one in Mendoza: By following a certain opportunity you can unlock a secret second one, in which Yates shoots Vidal and "imprisons" Burnwood. You then have 10 minutes to save her after which you have a shot to kill Yates, which you can also let Burnwood do. Funny how there's two separate ways in this level to win without killing at all
Those are my favorite kinds of kills. It really wasn’t me!
I'm a fan of the kill in Chonqing in Hitman 3, where you can use the information Royce gives you, along with the computer she'll conveniently leave you standing alone at and video cameras targeted at particular staff members to get one of her own newly-fired former employees to accidentally roast her alive.
Seriously, no mention about Chongqing's Medium Rare?
Imogen introduces you to her behavioural prediction system in the data centre, and you only need to fire 3 people in the right order to be all "well done, Imogen".
well one of the fired people does go......... Splat
Just 2 is enough, as you can deactivate the safety protocol yourself while she gives you (as the ICA chairman) the tour.
After deactivating the safety inside the core I only fired the lady in charge of the core maintenance thing while royce was inside it and she killed her.
The best way to kill the target at Darkmoor is to convince her that her actions actualy drove her brother to suicide, wich makes her commit suicide in turn.
Wich kinda is a kill by proxy if you ask me...
I love the irony of the sniper team talking about the 1% killings - with the 1% killer standing right behind them 😂
Also with the Hokkaido surgery machine - you can remove the safety mechanisms on it. Though what those arms do to Soders then...makes most slasher movies look like Disney cartoons!
We need a "What happened next" competition using the videos from the Hitman Playlist. There are so many good moments ranging from the Lucky duck Elusive, right the way to the bust Escalation mishap!
Is this video andy’s way of asking mike to play hitman more stealthily? Frankly, i love both mike’s chaotic gamestyle and andy’s super stealth kills..
3:53 Can you look up a bit? **dies** Thank you.
I love how when someone dies in front of them everyone is just like "meh, he/she was a terrible boss anyway"
that's what makes Hitman such a cool game with all the various ways to take out a target
You can get the Kasmarian to kill *both* of your targets for you on the Mumbai level - they've both contracted him to kill the other one, and he'll move on to the other target after the one you've shown. You just have to get her into place for him as well.
Wow, I had no idea you could get the surgeon to kill Soders. And I've been over that level a ton.
And this is without even mentioning the times you can drop your targets onto other targets to kill them both at once.
Are there more instances apart from Paris?
8:28
the sniper team's fruit killing skills are remarkable
1:18 Andy proceeds to trigger my echo dot about 5 times
It is punishment for owning one.
Definitely missing Diana on the Vinyard level! *She pushes Tamara into a grape grinder*
Regarding the Kashmirian, for added proxyness, you can also give the paint found near the stairs and please it in the art gallery and also place the paper found somewhere in the laundry to the room where the foreman was.
As you you can replace the artists missing paint in Mumbai to move Rangan into position, using the Kashmirian to assassinate Rangan and Shah is my favourite SA/SO tactic in the trilogy.
Same I did SASO on every level and when I worked out that I could get the Kashmiri to do the kill it made it a lot easier.
You can also get the KGB officer to kill Jasper Knight in The Final Test
The Jet ejection is my favorite on that lvl lol
Come to think of it, Agent 47 is just like Barbie. Has done a lot of jobs, somehow very good at all of them, they don't age, etc.
And they both have a great sense of fashion.
I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE
I wonder who would win in a sniper duel.
I mean, now we know how she affords the Dream House...
That's the kind of doll I would have wanted as a kid. Forget Bratz, let me customize this bald man's hitman loadout.
Agent 47 does age, just backwards.
He looks younger in 3 than in 1
3:40 You don't need to dress up as artist. You can also bring the real artist missing paint. He will then call for Rangan and start painting himself. All the while you can go set up the other proxy kill.
Too bad the projector electrocution kill from the training mission in Hitman 1 was not included.
That last one made my spine tingle. It is also really cold in here - can someone let me out of the cooler now?
I don't agree with calling the assassin in Mumbai "second rate" because he can also snipe the other target too, provided she goes off and makes a dumb speech (two for the price of one!)
He's also really good at tracking down your third target for some murder happy fun time.
I’ve been playing these games for years and had no idea about Knox setting off the car bomb or Jordan and Morgan arguing, this is a great video.
God I love Hitman. Have played these games obsessively and just now figured out you can have Laurent kill Soders. So much detail
I'll also note that in the detective route in the mansion, you can find a hidden room containing a letter that revealed that Alexa and her husband killed someone to get their fortune, however, the letter reveals that such an action was unnecessary.
Revealing this information to Alexa and ruling her husbands death as suicide causes her to realize who you are, but instead of going after you, she gives you the papers on Arthur, then gently tosses herself off the balcony.
The Mumbai kill can be even more amazing - you can get two NPCs to move Rangan and Shah into position by simply giving two objects to them: the artist’s blue paint for Rangan and the laundry foreman’s documents for Shah. The Kashmirian will take them out and all you had to do was move two objects to two NPCs. So it’s like a proxy of a proxy. It’s honestly one of the greatest pieces of game design I’ve ever seen.
Those are good, but the one where you boot Robert Knox off a balcony into Sierra as she's driving past for a twofer is the best one I've ever seen.
It is cool but you're still killing them yourself
The best twofer is Paris tho
3:28 that does sound like a pretty sick hitman kill tho
9:06 I shouldn't have doubted you when you said it was hilarious. My entire computer screen is filled with splattered juice all over it now.
"Can you look up a bit?"
*POP*
"Thank you."
And that's why you don't pay in exposure
Wow, how did I not know about that soders kill after all this time? Literally put hundreds of hours into this trilogy.
omg why did the “open season on eric soders baby!” line take me out 😂😂😂 amazing video, super fun to watch as always!
That line said by Cross at 5:36 had me cackling.
Probably not a good thing haha.
He killed his girlfriend the same way, hence the line.
I feel like I remember the challenge for that kill is called "Oops, I did it again"
There's a secret mission story in Mendoza where Yates tries to kill Diana, Vidal stands in the way (and is killed), and then Yates takes Diana to a secluded area and then she stabs him in the throat, so technically that's two for none
Can't believe they missed the main one from Mendoza, where Don Yates kills Tamara and Diana kills Yates!
Diana doesn’t kill Yates. She stabs him, but you have to finish the job by stabbing him again.
@@BunnyBounce161 He will bleed out if you leave him be.
@@suprememeatbun Wait really? I’ll have to try that.
@@BunnyBounce161 It even counts for the Murder by Proxy challenge for the level. I let Yates shoot Vidal first, then let Yates bleed out.
Oh cool. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but cool.
It was so nice of agent 47 to indirectly help another assassin help you to kill the same guy that you was told to kill
7:28 I like how the entire audience doesn't see him getting pushed off. lol
"no officer, It wasn't me who killed her. I was just doing my job as a PI"
Have to say the writing in this episode was top notch. Had me laughing out loud a bunch of times. Especially the bit about helping out the other assassin by hammering the bullet into the target and yeeting a donor heart lol.
The rock star one is foreshadowed in the beginning when it talks about how his ex girlfriend supposedly died committing suicide by jumping off a balcony but the game heavily implies she was pushed by him during an argument. (You can even find a recording that he kept of her last moments that make it even more obvious that she was pushed.) Ultimately, it's ironic that the lawyer who helped the rock star avoid the murder charge. Gets murdered in the same way, and by the same person, who in turn can be murdered in the same manner as the hitman.
That's easily one of the juciest hitman kills in the series. Gonna be honest, part of me wonders what the outcome would've been if Jordan wasn't taken out after killing Morgan.
(Probably kidnapped and killed alongside his father, cause 27 club)
All Hitman's kills are guilt free... Wait, or is it just me?
they all deserve it tbh.
Not sure what DeSantis from Sapienza did
@Ghost Tactician Wasn't he helping to design the ultimate murder virus, which could be coded to affect anyone in the world and not harm anyone else, so all you have to do is release it near the target and they'll soon get infected and die?
He's gonna put Agent 47 and all the other Hitmen out of their jobs. The ICA Assassins' union probably took out the contract.
^She's, not he's.
Hey if you can't bring yourself to kill people just because they might be innocent, you probably shouldn't be in the assassination business. If it turns out they actually ARE innocent or just don't deserve to die, you CAN obviously cancel the hit if you want to (hitmen in real life tend to be cheap but self-employed).
All I care about is the dude playing yoyo with his gun @7:48 in the background. Grabbed my attention and then I couldn't unsee it.
The title of the video sounds like they are going to introduce some new trendy diets.
We use much different diets, I think. ;)
These Hitman videos with commentary from Andy are my new favorite thing, because I, too, just want to talk about all the miscellaneous things I know from the World of Assassination trilogy.
The worst part about the Hokkaido proxy kill is that the surgeon, once he comes off his high, realizes what he's done and jumps off a ledge. And yes, this counts as a non-target kill.
Personally, my favorite kill on that stage - while not exactly a proxy kill, is one that keeps your hands clean - is the "One Last Time, Mr. Soders" kill. Get to the operating room with Soders in your default suit, and talk to him. He recognizes you, and then has a heart attack and dies.
Omg. To think that I did not know this avenue was open for eliminating targets. That's amazing! Makes me respect the game even more also.
Thank you for the video!
love the subtle humor in the Kashmirian-painting one, when you continued painting as though nothing happened there's a bit of a target centered on the guy's head lmao 4:00
Brain briefly decided that said "Gluten-free Hitman kills"
fun fact, theres actually two ways of getting morgan and cross to kill each other. one way is the one shown here..the other is as abel da silva, when jordan is on the roof, if you time it right, you push jordan off the roof, onto the glass awning, which he falsl through and lands on morgan, killing them both, similar to how you could off viktor and margolia in paris
2:00 the better variant on dartmore is when you report the murder as a suicide.
I think that's the easiest way to do Suit Only (assuming it's merely don't change outfit rather than doing it all in one of 47's default suits).
Agent 47: “Can you look up a bit?”
*Target gets hit with a sniper bullet.*
Agent 47: “Thank you.”
Dammit Jordan, you can't just solve your problems by pushing them off a balcony!
Damn it, Andy, now I'm going to be spending the next 2 weeks trying to pull off all of these myself.
2:15
You could also claim Zachary committed suicide and Alexa will jump off the balcony bcuz she felt guilty since Zachary "killed himself" for not being able to survive the world without Alexa
Half of these I didn't even knew were possible! Gonna try them this week.
“Can you look up a bit?”
*gets shot in the head*
“Thank you.”
9:05 Oh man Im getting some Halo 3 vibes with that kill. lol
In Mendoza, you can also kill Vidal by making sure she escorts Olivia to the meeting. There, she will support her and get killed by your other target for it.
Escorts Diana. Olivia's a different person.
I'll never get tired of outsidexbox's undying love for everything Hitman
Just like the one in Bloodmoney with the opera show rehearsal. Good times.
I keep reading the title as 7 Gluten-free kills
You know, Hippocrates wanted a spider robot on the staff but a snake was a lot easier to implement.
Also the hitman games does give the players so many different options for kill you're targets in so many different types of choices to use anything as a weapon and alongside many different types of back up plans just incase the main plan fails you still have so many options to pick from as well as an escape plan and back up escape plans if the main access route is being blocked by something or someone you always have back ups plans for that too after all you have got to cover all of you're bases and also tie up some loose ends witch you can to cover you're tracks and also get rid of any evidence that proves that you wasn't there when it happened
11:02 was hilarious😂
I like how both ‘one target kills the other’ kills can be framed as murder-suicides after you get one to kill the other.
Why did Don Yates hold on to those documents?
Was he going to give it to his wife as a present?
"Happy anniversary, my love! I got you evidence that I destroyed your career for my own gain."
Maybe they were leverage on someone else, or he thought he needed some of the information in them.
Bad guys never destroy incriminating evidence even when there's utterly no reason to keep it. My favourite non-game example was from the Bond film _You Only Live Twice_ when Bond finds a critical clue in the form of a photograph of a ship somewhere in Japan with a helpful handwritten note on the back that SPECTRE had the couple who took the photograph killed in order to conceal the evidence they'd unwittingly taken a picture of. You know, the picture that the note was written on. Which they kept. And confessed to a crime no one else knew about.
@@keith6706 It's an ego thing.
I did the fan kill but I accidentally blew away the actress too. I didn’t notice a Non Target Kill notification though.
9:09
Saving that time for a friend.
The best part about The Kashmirian is he will kill 2 of the 3 targets in that mission and you don't even need to get directly involved. Just find the missing paint for the painter and a missing file for a Laundry Supervisor and place them covertly for the npcs and they will move the targets into position for you.
