Hitman 2: Assassination of Jorge Franco - Three-Headed Serpent walkthrough Hitman 2 Guide, Walkthrough
Last update: 21 September 2021
On this page of the Hitman 2 guide, we've listed all of the unique Jorge Franco assassination methods in the Santa Fortuna mission. We included all challenges requiring the use of specific items or specific disguises. Some of these methods are a part of the mission stories, but you can complete it independently.
Jorge Franco travels around the coca fields by default. He may stop for a moment at the production hut or at other buildings surrounding the area. The man is always accompanied by two bodyguards.
Franco will leave the fields if he gets the information about the hippie waiting for him in the smuggling cave.
The other way to make Franco leave the coca field is to destroy the plant in the botanical laboratory. The target will go to the jungle to look for another one.
The coca fields are a restricted area. You can sneak in there behind high plants or attack someone and get a disguise. However, Agent 47 can be recognized by some individuals so you should be careful.
Caution: Heavy Machinery
This challenge is related to mission story Half-Baked. A full description of this assassination variant can be found in the mission stories chapter.
Find the plane wreck in the jungle.
Shoot the red box on the rock shelf. It'll fall down.
Take the motherboard from the box.
Reach the production hut on the coca field and turn off the generator to get the coca field worker disguise.
Enter the hut and place the motherboard in the machine.
Hide in the container and wait for the arrival of Jorge Franco. Wait until he chases off all of the workers from the room.
Sneak up on Jorge and push him into the coca machine.
Mind the Step
This challenge isn't related to any mission story. Start it from the coca fields and sneak to the area of the botanical laboratory. Turn off the generator shown in the picture above - it'll cause a worker to leave the laboratory. You can stun him and:
Get an access card that allows you to enter the laboratory.
Obtain an optional laboratory worker disguise.
Don't forget to restore the power supply so no other employee will go to check it.
A laboratory worker may not leave any card if you play at the Master difficulty. In such situation, you have to steal it from a different place - for example, you can sneak into the Franco's hut on the shore (sabotage the air conditioner to make a guard leave the hut).
Enter the botanical laboratory. There can be one or two guards. The best way to distract them is to use a coin. You can stun the first one and hide him in the closet. The second one can be eliminated in the same way, or you can distract him.
The most important step is to find an object looking like a microwave (shown in the picture above). Tamper with it to destroy the plant. Jorge Franco will be informed about it by the laboratory worker, or he'll notice it when he arrives.
Franco will go to the jungle to look for a new plant. An advantage of this is that the mission's target always ends his search exactly in the same place (the area marked in the picture above). Go there immediately and hide in the bushes. After reaching this place by Franco, this fragment of the jungle will become a restricted zone for some time.
Don't leave the bushes until Jorge Franco stops in front of the rock shelf. He will try to grab the plant. This is a perfect opportunity to sneak behind him and push him down.
The bodyguards of Franco will be watching the jungle entrance for the entire time. You can distract them using coins, and then silently eliminate them or go around them.
The Secret Ingredient
This challenge is related to Backpacker mission story. A full description of this assassination variant can be found in the mission stories chapter.
Break into the Village Hostel and find a damaged toy on the floor.
Pour poison into the toy - e.g. the emetic rat poison (it can be found on the ground floor) or the deadly poison (medical office).
Get a glue to fix the toy. You will find it in the smuggling cave. After you find it, get back and repair the toy.
Turn on the radio and stun or kill the hippie after he walks in. Put on the hippie disguise.
Reach the cave entrance watched by two guards. One of them will lead Agent 47 to the smuggling cave.
Put the toy with poison on the table and wait for Jorge Franco.
Franco will break the toy and try the cocaine. If you've used deadly poison, Franco will die immediately. If you've used emetic rat poison, the target will go to a secluded place. Go after him, and finish him undetected.
