Okay, first of all, Hitman 2 was created by IO Interactive
and is a trademark of EIDOS Interactive.  This walkthrough
is owned by me, because I wrote it.  I took the hours to
make it, so before you use any part of it email me first.  It
should not be remade in any way, not changed, translated,
whatever the case may be.  This walkthrough was simply
for those people who are too annoyed by the difficulty of
this game and just want to beat it the cheap way.   This is
an mission-focused walkthrough, so I'll be focusing on the
missions. I've tried to add some stuff about weapons and
so on too.  First I'll touch on some basics of play, then we'll
go straight to the missions.  And also, there are numerous
ways for completing each level, I'll just state the one I
found easiest and most fun.  Also, the approximate weapon
reload times in the weapons section were all timed and
written by me , and they are all copyright by me, and should
not be reused in anyway.

BASICS
================
Alright, before we indulge in anything completed, let's get
the basics of Hitman 2.  First of all, this game is a game of
stealth, so if you're looking for a shooting fest, this is not for
you.  Also, better be prepared to be very patient, because
some of these missions require intense precision to beat.
Note that the game now has a scoring system for when
you complete each level.  The game measures how well
you completed the level, including points on how much
disruption you caused, innocents killed, and so on.  In this
sequel, you kill the  target, do whatever else you need to
do for the mission, and get out.  Quietly.
_                         _
_Basic Movements_
W-A-S-D.  Mouse.  Nothing much more to it.  Left-mouse
button attacks with whatever you're holding.  Right mouse
opens your inventory.  With the space bar, you toggle
sneak mode on.  Sneak mode is very important to this game.
With sneak mode on, you can avoid making any noise so
you can walk up to people from behind without them
knowing.  The game is precise on noise.  If run or even
walk, you'll attract attention.  Oh yeah, shift is to run.  Use
R to reload.  The E button serves as a use button, when
you move over something usable you will see a small list
appear on the top-left.  Press E to select one of these
actions.  Q is a quick inventory option.  I use this as a quick
weapon holster option.  This is basically all you really need
to know to play the game.
_            _
_Stealth_
This game is all about stealth.  I can't stress that enough.  If
you're seen by civilians walking around with a gun, they'll
run to the nearest guard to tell him.  If you act suspicious,
same thing.  This isn't like other games where you could
run around and even jump on top of someones head and
they'll be as if nothing happened.  If you're sneaking
around and someone sees you, goodbye.
_                    _
_Basic Weapons_
Fiber wire.  That is your main weapon to use in this game.
It doesn't trigger any metal detectors and it's nice, quiet and
quick.  Sneak mode and Fiber wire are like brother and sister.
They're supposed to be used together.  Sneak up to a guy
from behind and Fiber-wire him outta there.  Other than
that, you're 9mm SD (suppressed) comes in handy a lot.
The ballers are you're trademark weapon.
================
2 - GAME SCREEN
================
_              _
_In-Game_
Alright, when you're playing the game, you'll notice a whole
bunch of bars and stuff at the top left corner.  Here's what
they mean:
Health Bar
The bar with the + sign on the left.  This tells you how
much health and  how much damage you've taken.  The
lower this is, the more you better keep safe.  Note that
Hitman 2 is not like other games in that if you get shot with
a pistol, you'll survive, but one or two shots with a powerful
weapon will kill you instantly.  And don't even get started
with Sniper rifles.
Threat Meter
This bar is very important to the game.  Basically, it tells
you how suspicious the people around Mr. 47 are getting
of him.  If it's at nothing, you're safe.  When it starts getting
a little wider, than it's best to leave.  When the black turns red,
usually it means they've almost figured out your disguise
and you should beat it!
Compass
This thing is kind of self-explanatory.  I used it for this
purpose, open your map and see where exactly you have
to go, then follow the direction using the Compass.
_        _
_Map_
The map is not too complicated if you know wat you're
doing with it.  As you may have  guessed, it's a map of your
surroundings.  There are different levels for variou parts
of whatever level your on.  For instance, if you are in a
building with different floors, and you'r on the first floor,
the map will show you the first floor.  You can look at
the other floors by going to the top-left and clicking on
the name of the current map, and selecting whatever other
part you want to see.
Circle Points:  This is what I call those the circles with a
little arrow pointing out.  The arrow refers to what direction
the person is looking at (all of the circle points mean people).
Here'sa list of what the circle points mean:
Light Green:  This is Mr. 47.  You.
Red: This is your target which is to be killed.
Orange: Guards.  These are counted as enemies in the
mission score.
Blue: Police.  Should not be killed.
Green: These are innocent bystanders and should not be
killed.
White:  A very important person (V.I.P.).  This is usually
referring to someone crucial to the game or
someone you have to protect.
Exclamation Mark (In Circle) (!) :  This is a Point of Interest
(referred to as (!)
from this
point.)These are
important
and they should be
checked
out at all times.
Blinking Red Hitman Logo: Agency Pickups.  You usually
don't need to go to them to
beat
a mission but it sure makes it
easier.
Lightning Rod: These are power generators.
Ladder with Arrow pointing up:  These are ladders.  (duh?)
Circle with Arrow pointing down: These are referring to
sewer hatches.
Staircase: Staircase
Green Box bobbing up and down:  Elevators.
EXIT Sign:  After completing objects for a level, escape
through the exit points to complete the level.
Alright, that's basically all you need to know.  On to the
missions!
================
PLAYING HITMAN 2
================
Alright, now, you know the basics to get you started, but playing
the game is a whole different matter if you don't know what you're
doing.  Here's some info you'll need.
-Silent Killing-
Stealth means not drawing attention to you, and guns ablazing
is not exactly stealth.  So you'll need to perform Silent Kills.  How?
It's called Fibre-wiring.  I've said this already once, to kill someone
silently, you go into sneak mode by hitting space bar, than
sneak up behind them and click the mouse to Fibre-wire or
Chloroform them.
-Keeping Quiet-
Noise is everything in this game.  If you run, it makes a lot of noise,
and if you walk, it still makes noise, just not as much.  Sneaking
or crouching makes no noise, so if you're trying to get past someone
while their back is turned, do not run or walk, sneak.
-Quick and Quiet Shots-
Your 9mm SD is useful.  A well aimed shot or two to the head of
an opponent will take him out only alerting anyone closeby.  Use
it if there is someone you need dead but a little farther away than
you.
-Alerts-
You do not want to alert the guards because then they'll be much
harder to get past.  If you're a postman and then somebody discovers
what you've done, all the guards will be on alert for a suspicious
postman.  Don't do anything stupid like shoot a guy once without
killing him than running away.  You might think that if he's not dead
yet than it won't count against your stealth, but all you've done
by leaving him alive is let him contact all the other guards.  If you
shoot someone by accident, finish the job.
-Suspicious Behaviour-
If you go outside, do you see someone running around in front of
you?  No.  So don't do it here, either.  Running around in front of
people will never do anything good.
-One Rifle at a Time-
You put many handguns inside your jacket.  But, like in real life,
you can hold only one rifle, and it cannot be hidden in your jacket.
Holstering it just means putting it on your left hand.
=======================
MISSION WALKTHROUGH
=======================
And here comes the bulk.  Missions are simply formed.  In
the beginning, you have a briefing of your mission with the
objectives and usually a photograph of your target(s)
and sometimes footage.  The missions take place in various
locations, and you are in that area until you complete all the
missions in that location.  For instance, say there
are three missions in India.  When you're finished the level
before the first of the India levels, then you return to your
shed where you start the game, it's near your home.
(Note:  all the weapons you have collected will be in this
shed.)  When you start the next mission, you can choose
the weapons you want to take.  But the next three locations
are all in one location,  connected with each other, than you
don't choose your weapons (because you don't return
back to your shed).  Here's the layout of the following
walkthrough.  When a name appears in stars,
that is the current location the following missions take
place.  This means all the following missions up
until the next star-bordered name takes place in that
location.  The name of each mission is bordered
with ==== Anyways, first mission:

M1 - Gontranno Sanctuary
===========================================
Objectives: None
-Prelude-
This is not really a mission, just an introduction to the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first level.  It's not really a mission, it's more of a
preparation for the game.  In this first level, the story begins
with a small cutscene than just plops you into the action.
Move Mr. 47 (Mr. Rieper's codename) around to get the
feel of it.  Go to the ruins and follow the simple
instructions.  The bells from the church will ring.  It's time
for confession.  If you open up the map you'll see a blinking
circle with an "!" inside of it.  This is a point of interest
(hereafter referred to as just (!).  In this level's case, it is the
confession box.  Go back between your shed and the ruins.
Face west  (direction is in the top left). You'll see a door.
Go through it (Open it by pressing E and using the mouse
wheel or W&S to select  option).   Turn right and walk up
the small set of stairs.  Turn left, then turn through the first
hall on the right.  Go up the stairs, and you're now inside
the main hall of the church.  In the back of the benches
you'll see the confession box.  Go inside.  You'll see a
cutscene, and another cutscene with the Priest being
kidnapped.
You have to find the parcel the guy left.  Go outside the
same way you came in.  Check you're map
and you'll see the point of interest (Note: Clicking on the
top left description of where you are will allow
you to switch between maps of the various floors in your
level).  Now move around you're shed and
past the well and you'll see a big stairway.  Go up the
stairs and open the door.  Keep walking straight
and then when you're in the centre of the big garden
place, turn left and pick up the parcel sitting there.
View the cutscene.  Now retrace your steps back to
your shed.  Another cutscene.
Now you're in training for the game.  Get out your ballers
and follow the instructions.  After the basic
shooting procedure, head down to the toolshed, which is
basically right across from your shed.  Pick up
the fibre which is on the wall that the door is on.  Walk up
to the scarecrow from behind.  Hit space to sneak
and sneak up to him and fibre-wire him.  After you're done
with the instructions, head down to the shed
(your shed, not the tool shed).  Go to the laptop and then
continue the game.

M2 - Anathema
=============================================
Objectives: - Kill  "Don" Giuseppe Giulliani
- Take key to prison cell from Don
- Rescue Vittorio in the basement
- Escape
-Prelude-
Okay, let's start the first mission.  First of all, you have to
eliminate Don Giuseppe Giulliani, and take the key he's
holding, which is for the basement, where Father Vittorio
is supposed to be held hostage in.  After rescuing him,
you have to escape from the villa.  This level takes more
thought than some of the others if you want that Silent
Assassin rating.  There are several approaches to beat it.
The detailed one below is the one I found the
best, but there are other ways to do it as well.  You can
change into the postman walking down the path, or
the delivery boy, whatever.  Let's begin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, you start out this level on a rocky hill of some sort.
If you look at the gates to the villa to the left of you, you'll
see a postman walk by soon.  Now, you can either wait for
him to walk across the path and then stop to take a smoke,
or just run behind him and do it.  Take out your anaesthetics,
and empty it all into him (press it and hold it until five bottle
symbols on the top-right of the screen are gone).  Take his
flowers and then change into his clothes.  You are now a
postman.  After doing this, hide his body (not behind the
trees in front of the side door) and then turn around to
where there is a delivery truck.  If the delivery boy is not
there (check your map to see if he's coming), then place all
your weapons in one of the delivery baskets.   Now take the
path going left to the main entrance (you can run as long
you're not in the line of  sight of any guards).
And here's where it all begins.  When you walk up to the
gates, the guard will tell you to stop and check you for any
weapons.  If you left all of your weapons in the delivery
boy's basket, then this won't be a problem.  Continue
through the gates and then through the main doors where
a guard with the shotgun is.  The waitress inside will say
thank you and take the flowers.  She'll then go through the
doors in the back.  Stand still, do not walk or run anywhere,
and the guard will follow the waitress.  Now, move
to the small alcove beneath the stairs on the left.  Run
around.  The guard will come running back to inspect the
noise.  He'll look in your direction, but for some reason he
doesn't notice you.  Sneak up behind him with your
anaesthetic out and empty your last five bottles into him.
Take his clothes and his gun and drag him back to the
alcove where you just hid (Note:  If you drag him from the
arm and his legs are sticking out of the alcove all you do is
move to his legs and 47 will automatically drag him using
his legs.  This way, you can kind of fold his body out of
sight).
Anyways, next walk through the door on the left that the
guard came out of.  You're in a small dining room now.
Turn right and go through the door that you see.  You're in
another hallway.  Go straight forward into the door directly
in front of you.  Make sure there are no guards in the
kitchen or going inside the kitchen by using your map.
DO NOT RUN inside the kitchen.  The cook is paranoid and
will see through your disguise.  Anyways, the delivery boy
has delivered the basket containing your weapons already.
Pick them up but make sure nobody sees you doing it,
especially the cook.  Once you've got your weapons,
turn right and right again where you'll see stairs.  Go up
the stairs and open the door.  Walk straight forward into
the balcony, if you turn left and past the foor, you'll see
that you can keep walking past the balcony on a ledge.
Walk across the ledge (don't run!) until you get to the roof
of the 1st floor.  Walk along that roof until you get to the
balcony of the Don's office.  Check the map(2nd floor) to
see if he's inside.  (Note: There's a guard who walks along
the balcony, although he doesn't come to the side facing
the roof that you came from.  Just hide there if he's coming,
then when he's left, go).  Now,  move to the other side of
the balcony (where the guard I just mentioned comes from)
and go through that door.  The Don is facing the other way
, so hit "sneak" mode and then sneak up behind him and
fiber-wire him.  After doing this, retrace your steps and go
back to the kitchen the same way you got here.  Now, turn
left go towards the door that you originally reached the
kitchen with, but turn right instead of going through the
door and you'll see a stairway going down from the
kitchen.  This is to the basement.
Walk down the stairway and keep walking through the hall
until you get to the first door on your left.  Open it and
you'll see that Father Vittorio is not there.  You'll contact
Diana from Agency through your earcom and she'll confirm
that Vittorio isn't there.  Now all you have to do is escape
(Note: The guards will be informed to watch out for a sneaky
bodyguard soon, so be quick).  Keep going through the
basement hall until you get to steps leading outside.  Go
up the steps and then turn right.  You'll see a door with a
guard in front of it.  Go past a guard until you're outside the
entire villa then run to the exit for freedom!  Enjoy the
Suppressed Silverballers that you get from getting Silent
Assassin on this mission. (Note:you can get a sniper rifle
from the garage before you leave if you want it.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Extras/Hints-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*If you want to escape in James Bond style, then pick up
the key to the car in the garage from one of the plain
clothes guards (the one in white) who usually lounges
around the pool area in the back.  Get to the car and watch
the cool cinematic.
*You can get the sniper rifle from the garage at the beginning
of the level and snipe the Don out from the mountains.
*You can kill the postman and guard but you are risking
your Silent Assassin rating.
* If you don't empty a full five bottles into the postman and
guard of anaesthatics than they'll wake up quickly and
tell on you before you can do anything.
* You can beat the level by shooting everything you see
*Sneak up to baskets behind the cook because if you walk
she'll know you're there and she's really paranoid so she'll
keep looking behind at you every couple of seconds, which
means if you're picking up one of your guns while she turns
around.......

M3 - St. Petersburg Stakeout
=============================================
Objectives: - Kill  the General at the Meeting
- Don't Harm Anyone Else at the Meeting
- Return to the Subway Train to Escape
-Prelude-
Alright, this level starts off annoying and becomes fun later.
One of the most annoying things in this level are the
civilians.  When they see you with a gun, they'll yell this
thing which sounds like "Safratz!" (most likely Russian for
"A gun! A gun!").  This yell is so annoying I broke
my keyboard when I kept hearing it.  Anyways, as
annoying as they are, leave them alone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, you start with a short cutscene.  Now, you're outside
the train facing forward in the station.  Turn right and go
towards the lockers.  (Note: Make sure no civilians see
you with weapons!).  Go to locker 137 and pick the lock.
Open the door after it's been picked, check to see if there
are any civilians around, then pick up all your weaponry.
Now by this point both the civilians in the metro should
be going away from you at the same time.  Grab the chance.
Wait till they go past the stairway out of the metro
which will be on your right, then go up the stairs.  Follow
the hallway up the (not moving) escalators.
To the left, after climbing the escalator, you should see a
doorway leading down steps.  DO NOT GO.  Move
backwards about halfway down the escalator and check
for guards.  There should be 2, but one is probably on
his way up and outside.  Now move to the doorway but
don't stand directly in front of it.  Down the steps there is
one more guard who patrols the room.  Wait until he goes
right and out of view, then WALK down the steps slowly.
Wait until he goes past some lockers or almost there and
then go to a door which is on the right after you go down
the steps..  Close the door behind you.  Now, to the left is
a locked door.  Pick the lock and go through. (Hint: Pick locks
faster by pressing map)
There will be a hallway.  Go down the hallways until you
are at the sewers.  Look around cause you'll be spending
plenty of time in the sewers from this point on.  Turn right
and keep going until you get to a kind of bridge.  Walk
across the bridge then turn left and keep going until you
get to the first hallway off the right.  Go through the
hallway till you get to the ladders (Note:  Check your map.
You should be at the north-eastern exit).  Now go up the
ladders (Note: When you are almost finished the ladder,
being able to see the streets, check if there is a guard
coming.  He won't see you unless you come all the way up.)
Once your out on the streets, check your map, make sure
no guards can see you, then move torwards the truck on
your right and change into the guard uniform in front of it.
Now go back down the sewers and back out the hallway.
This time, turn right and keep going right until you reach
the first hallway on the right.  Go through the hallway and
check your map, you should be at the north-western sewer
hatch.
Now go up the ladder and get out.  Check to see if the
coast is clear, then go down the slope which is south of
the hatch you just came out of.  Now you are on the streets.
Check your map for a building that is north-west of the
Pushkin building.  It will have a (!) (Point of Interest) on it.
Move towards that building with the aid of your map.
Don't get too close to guards and if you're within range,
walk, don't run.  Don't draw attention.  You're sniper rifle is
suspicious enough from far away (Note: Holster your
sniper rifle before you head for the building.  It may not
seem to do anything, but it does).  Once you close to the
building go through the door on the right (not the main
doors).  Now turn right through the doors, through the
hallway to the next doors, then turn left to see a stairway.
Go up the stairs, turn left, left again, then up the second
flight to the third floor.
Now once you're on the third floor, do not go through the
doors directly to the left.  Instead proceed down the left
hallway to another set of doors and go through them.  If
you followed the directions carefully you'll be in a room
with two more double-doors, and two windows to the left,
one of which is open.   Get your sniper rifle ready and aim
in at the window where the meeting is taking place.  Diana
will contact you with clues she's found about which one is
the general you need.  I personally think it's much more
fun listening to the clues and then figuring out who it is,
but if you're too lazy, I'll tell you which one the general is.
(Note: Skip the next paragraph if you want to figure it out
yourself).
Now, there are four generals in the meeting.  One is almost
out of sight in a brown jacket.  Not the guy you want.
There is one walking around.  Not the one you want.
There is a guy smoking a cigar wearing sunglasses.  Not
the one.  The guy you want to kill is the one who is sitting
closer to the window, drinking his hand (it's supposed to
be a beer but I don't see a cup).
After you kill him retrace your steps back to the metro station.
Again, watch out for the patrolling guard and civilians.
Head for the metro train and you're done.  Your Silent
Assassin prize is a Sawn Off Shotgun, this is a normal
shotgun except since it is shorter (Sawn Off) you can
holster it under your shirt or whatever like a handgun so
you can carry it around with you unsuspiciosly instead of
walking around with a huge shotgun in your hand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Extras/Tips-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you wasted too much time just bust into the building
annihalating everything
- The guards are smart.  Don't go near them.
- Kill the wrong general and Diana will whine at you,
sounding very much like an angry mom
- If you want an AK rifle, than kill the guard walking past
the truck when you get the clothes and take his AK.  Hide
it in the sewers and pick it up on your way out.  But then
no keep Sniper Rifle.  Choose what you want more.

M4 - Kirov Park Meeting
==============================================
Objectives: -Kill General Makarov
-Kill his mafia connection, Igor Kubasko
-Prelude-
This level is FUN!  It's also probably one of the easiest
levels in the entire game.  All you have to do is kill two
people in the park.  Now, you can bust in and kill them than
run away, but the method I wrote down is much more fun,
plus you get the Silent Assassin rating.  Anyways, here
goes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right when you begin the mission, you'll see a collection of
dumpsters to the right of your line of sight.  Run to them.
Quickly, before the guard approaching sees.  When the
guard comes, hide behind a dumpster.  The agency pick-up
is between the two dumpsters closest to the road.  Pick up
the two car bombs.  You don't really need anything else for
this method.  Now proceed to the sewer hatch in the middle
of the road.  Watch out for guards first, of course.
In the sewer, go through the hallway and turn left, keep
going left until you get to the first opening off the left.
Go through the hallway and check your map.  You should
be at the southern-most sewer hatch.   Go up the ladder.
But wait!  What's this?  There's something blocking the
ladder.  It's the limousine.  That's good for you.  Place the
car bomb.  Now get out of the hallway from the sewer
hatch, go across the bridge, and turn right.  Keep going
until you get to the first opening on the left.  Walk through
the hallway and turn left and keep going until you get to
the bridge off the right.  Go across the bridge, turn left.
Keep going left, ignore the first opening off the right, and
go through the second.  Check map, you'll be at the most
northern hatch.  Go up the ladder but watch out for the
driver.  Stay halfway in the hatch.  Wait for the driver to
come and take a leak on the building.
Go behind him (sneak) and fibre-wire him.  Take his clothes.
Now walk back out the way he came in an you'll see a limo.
Walk up to it.  You'll arouse no suspicion because you're
after all, the limo driver.  In fact, the guards don't even seem
to notice that for some reason you're bending down and
putting something bomb-looking under the car. Anyways,
go back into the sewers and retrace your steps back to the
first sewer hatch you came from.  Run to your speedboat to
escape the level. (Note: You get Silent Assassin but it's not
a perfect Silent Assassin.  You can chloroform the driver if
you want.)

-Extras/Hints-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-You can also win the level by going into a church and
sniping them out, but this causes alerts
-The driver does not leak for very long so be quick
-Save the game before going back through the sewers to
the exit and just watch the limousines blow up
-Wait - if I just killed the driver, hows the limosine being
driven?
-The guards don't seem to notice if you pull out a gun as the driver

-Prelude-
One word sums this mission up.  ANNOYING.  This level is
so frustrating, long, generic, sometimes boring,  sometimes excessively hard.
it's just annoying.  That's all there is to it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The following method does not get you Silent
Assassin.  This method is the method which will not have
you breaking your keyboard in frustration.  For silent
assassin, kill no one, get guards clothes in the hq. room,
and don't shoot cameras.
Okay, I expect you've learned the basics by now, so no
more detailed where to turn, walk stuff.  Check your map
and go to where there's a big red arrow.   When you go up
the hatch, make sure the guard isn't there.  Now go straight
and hide behind the cargo.  When the guard comes, he'll
turn around.  Sneak up behind him, don't kill him.  The
instant he goes away, check your map.  The guard at the
far end will go to answer the phone, and another guard who
is at the west point will start to move.  Grab this chance to
move across and hide inbetween a small U formed by cargo.
Now when no guards are watching move towards the next
cargo area.  Hide there until the guard answers the phone.
When he does walk across and then behind the cargo marked
FCK.  Pick up the stuff.  Now keep watching for the guards
and move back to last cargo stack.  The west guard will
probably be down off his platform.  Wait till he goes back
up, hidden behind a cargo stack until you dash back to the
U shaped cargo.  If the guard is near the manhole you came
from, don't go inside the U, just behind it, or he'll see you.
Just keep checking your map, your surroundings until you
have the perfect moment, then run inside the truck (by just
running into it from behind).
(Alternate ways: Shoot everybody and get inside the truck,
or ignore the truck and go by sewers)
Once inside the truck, go all the way back, and CROUCH.
Crucuial.   When the truck reaches the hq. do not get out.
Check your map to see if the two guards up from you are
facing the other way.  Then get out.  Your disguise doesn't
shield the fact that there's something strange about a guy
kneeling behind crates in a truck.  Okay get out, but use
the truck as cover until the guy who's on the other side of
the truck leaves and goes into base.  When he does, if the
other guard from behind the truck comes  up, then sneak so
he doesn't see you then go up the entrance to the base.
When you're inside, there is one guard patrolling around
here.  Watch out for him.  Go behind crates to avoid contact.
Now move towards the basement elevator and go in and
go to the 1st basement.
(Note: There are security cameras all over the basements
so don't so anything stupid like pulling out your ballers or
killing somebody)
Okay, wait for the guard in front of the elevator to leave the
corridor.  Move forward and out of sight of the first camera,
then get your 9mm Pistol SD and shoot.  move down the
corridor, out of sight of the next camera, and shoot it.  Then
hide in alcove until the guard comes back.   When he returns
go around the corner and then you'll be in an area where
there is a door in front of you and a fence door with an
AK to the right.  Go through that door then turn left.  Shoot
the table lamp and the two hanging bulbs.  The place will
now be in a frenzy.  Walk calmly through the door left of the
platform where the guards are sitting, into the server room.
There'll be the server on the left.  Shoot it (with 9mm).  Now
the colour on it should be red.  Now go outside through the
next door (Not back to control room) and you'll be in a
corridor.  All the cameras are all red now.  Turn right and
move towards the room with the (!) in it.  Change into the
officer uniform.  Go back out (Don't go into guard room by
accident).  Now move towards where there is a big
explosion symbol on your map.
Go to the symbol and you'll see the thin wall, so thin you
can almost see inside.  Go close enough that it can be
dropped, than get out the mini-bomb and drop it.  A guard
might come in, if he does, just hide behind the cargo.  Now
go towards the elevator icon.  When the guard comes along,
hide in an alcove.  Go up to the elevator and go inside and
press 2nd basement.  Now move through the hallway DO
NOT go through the first door to your left.  You should
now hear very unconvincing chatter between the General
and the prisoner.  Now you want to go to the observation
room, and there is a guard patrolling  right in front of it's
entrance.  Wait till he goes into the guard room, then go
down (walk calmly as the door to the guard room is open
and they can see you) to the observation room, pick the
lock and look through at where the general is beating the
prisoner.
Now, through the observation glass panel you'll see the
general beating the prisoner.  Get out your 9mm pistol
(ballers work better, actually).  Aim directly at the general.
If you do it right, then the bullet will go through the glass
and also hit the general.  This will not alert any guards. If
you missed the general or if he doesn't die and you keep
shooting, the guards will be alerted.  Climb through the
window to view a cutscene, then follow the prisoner back
to the elevator and go inside.  Press 1st basement to view
another cutscene.  Now walk calmly past the guard at his
desk.  He doesn't seem to notice that the prisoner is with
you, and doesn't seem to care that the other guard pressed
the alarm.  Now head back to where you put the bomb.
Don't go inside the room with the bomb.  Make sure no
guards can see you (by the way, on the way there there will
be a guard but don't mind him, just walk past him).
Detonate the bomb. (Note: Make sure you are close enough.
It's usually good enough to be inside the room with the
bomb but far back.  If you're too far, the guards who come
rushing from the noise will start shooting you.
While in the sewers, run right, then across the bridge, then
keep going till you get to the exit (opening off the right,
check map) but STOP running once the guards enter the
sewers.  Funny thing is they find it more suspicious if
you're running like everyone else than if you're walking
calmly while everyone else is in a frenzy.  Go to the exit,
view the cutscene, and that's it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Extras/Hints-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-To get Silent Assassin, don't shoot the cameras, it'll be
much harder though.  Only shot should be the general.
-If you leave on the elevator without waiting for the
prisoner to get on, the cutscene will show the guard pressing
the alarm with the prisoner right beside him.
-Even if the guards spot you in the truck, it will still go
-If you detonate the bomb before you're close to the
entrance than the guards will be in the sewers before you,
making it much harder to get around.
-Another way to play the mission is to place the pager on a
table near the general than phone it to get his attention

M6 - Invitation to a Party
=============================================
Objectives: -Kill the General
-Secure Suitcase
-Prelude-
This level is fun to play at beginning with the first objective
but the second one is kind of annoying.  It's the last of the
St. Petersburgh levels, and I'm sure you're tired of them by
now.  This level takes place in an embassy, actually it's a
party.  You don't have an invitation so you can't waltz into
the party.  There are many ways to beat this level, the
following is the one I like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we go.  You start out at the dock with your trusty
speedboat behind you.  There's a waiter smoking but leave
him alone.  Go to the agency pick-up.  Don't get too close
to the patrolling black-suited guards.  Pick up the poison
and the 9mm if you need it.  Now go to the eastern entrance
to the embassy and lock-pick the door.  Go inside and
along the path but watch out for the guard who patrols
around here.  Stick behind some trees for cover if he comes
near you.  But he turns the other way eventually.  When
he does, go forward, all the way.  You should see a garage
to the left of you with a door beside it.  Now open your map
and check the Embassy Basement map.  See where the
guard at the eastern point is.  Or you can just look through
the keyhole.  If he's moving away from the door, go through.
Walk slowly, and then dash for the small little room type
thing in front of you.  Hide there till he goes the other way,
then proceed to the hallway to the left.  Now go into the
door on the left of the hallway (It will have a (!) in the map).
Change into the waiter clothes.  You are now a waiter.
Now move along the hallway to the kitchen.  Ignore the
guards and just walk.  In the kitchen, move towards where
there is a bucket next to a champagne glass.  Pick up a
champagne glass.  move into the room to the right where
noone can see you, then right click, and select poison, and
watch 47 put poison in the champagne glass.  Now go back
to the kitchen and move towards the south-western stairs.
Go up the stairs and through the fancy-looking doors.
Turn right and you're now in the hall.  Go through the main
doors on the left, and you're in the ballroom.  Wait for the
general to come, and give him the champagne glass with
poison.
Check your map for the other red target and follow them.  If
you were fast, then the amabassador isn't there yet and you
can  go into the room behind the office and wait for them to
come.  Chloroform the agent holding him up and take the
briefcase (and the chocolate if you want).  Now you want
to go back to the first floor, hide the briefcase, get invitation
guests clothes by just following them than chloroforming out
of sight.  Then pick up the briefcase than leave.

M7 - Tracking Hayamato
=============================================
Objectives: -Kill Hayamoto Jr.
-Plant Bug on Hyamato Jr.'s corpse
-Escape
-Prelude-
Listen to the music inside the house.  It's really good.
Anyways, this level is pretty easy and short to play
through, but it kind of paves the way for the next few
Japanese missions which become increasingly harder.
The target is Hayamoto Jr, a guy in a white suit.  The mission
takes place in a small building, with an easy pathway
to beat it.  In fact, I think it's probably one of the easiest
levels.  Fun, too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mission-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, you begin the mission behind a big boulder, with
two guards coming up in front of it.  They will go a little
distance then turn around.  Make sure the guard at the
door to the right isn't there, than move along to the bush
along the edge, than to the next huge boulder along the
path.  hide behind it until the guard moving along is all the
way down at the end of the path.  Go to the big garage doors,
open them, go inside, then close them.  Okay, you're now in
the garage, and there's a messed up car in there.  Go up to
the car, and sound the horn, the guard inside will come out
to inspect the noise.  Hide to the right of the door before he
comes in or he'll notice you.
Now, go inside the door he came from (sneak, don't walk or
run, that'll make noise and the guard'll turn around and see
you).  Go through the paper doors at the right of the room
you're in.  Now turn left and go through the next paper doors
which are on the same side as the one you just came from.
Now check your map, and wait for the guard behind there
to go join all the other guards, out of your sight.  Now
sneak forwards (if you walk, they'll see you) and  then go
through the doors on the right.  You should now be in a
kind of living room type thing.  Now go straight through
the doors you see which lead into like a storage cabinet
area.  Now go through the doors (make sure no guards are
there) and then through the door which is a little bit to the
left (has (!) on map).
You'll see chef's robes beside the beds.  Change into them,
and go back outside into the hallway.  If you turn left, you'll
see the huge paper doors waving.  Do not go into them yet.
First, make sure the guard who goes in there is not there,
that he's going outside.  Then go into the kitchen, don't
mind the real chef, go straight into a small hallway the
guard who patrols there went outside through, then through
the door on the left.  Cut the fugu fish.  The guard should
not be back inside yet.  Go outside again, then go to a small
platter you see on the desk (I thought it was an ashtray at
first).  Place the transmitter and the fugu fish on it.  Go back
to where the fugu fish was and wait for the guard who patrols outside to come
back in and go
into the kitchen.
When he's in the kitchen, get out of your hiding spot and
go through the back door (where that guard came from).
There is a guard who patrols in circles here.  When he turns
left off the rock path, go follow the path but stop before you
go out in the open (stay between fence & building).  If the
guard is going in the opposite direction (not facing you,
towards the exit), then hug the garage wall and move
forward until you can move no more because of the building.
The guard will turn and then walk back towards the fence
and he'll see you but he sees nothing suspicious about a
chef standing still between a garage and a wall.  When he
passes into the big square area in front of the garage.
Move south (to the southern fance wall).  Hide behind the
boulder to the right.  Move forward towards those guards
moving together (one in vest, other in suit).  Go behind the
bush in front of the boulder you started in.   By this point
you should have the objectives completed because the
maid should have given the guy the food and he should've
eaten it by now.
Anyways, move towards the boulder you started behind.
Before you make your exit, make sure both objectives are
