Barbershop - Neutralizing Lenny | 9: Shaving Lenny Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General assumptions: You should kill Lenny as your last target, because a successful elimination of this character results in finishing the entire mission.

Before we get into further details, remember that you have only to subdue Lenny. So do not try to kill him and make sure that he won't die in an accident explosion, because this will mean failure of current mission. Your target spends most of the time in the main room of a barbershop (screen above) but from time to time he walks also to other places.

By far the best way to neutralize Lenny is using barber disguise. As for reminder, a ready-to-wear barber disguise can be found in the last room on the ground floor, in the salon (screen above).

After putting on barber disguise, just approach Lenny. You won't alert him in this way. What's more, you'll encourage Lenny to go to the room where you've obtained the disguise. Note - if you still have to eliminate any of Lenny gang members, do it right now.

Go to the back of the salon, wait until Lenny sits on one of chairs and then approach him from behind and press interaction key/button, thus ending this stage. It is worth noting that even if there is a single cop in the area, you do not have to get rid of him or be afraid that he will expose you.

An alternative way to end this stage is dragging Lenny's body to one of exits. This is not recommended by me, because opponents won't stay neutral seeing you dragging unconscious Lenny. If you want to try it anyway, then it is best to surprise Lenny in a corridor near the main entrance to the barbershop (screen above).

You can also neutralize Lenny by adding sleeping pills to a pizza. Sleeping pills can be found in one of room on the floor. Pizza is lying on the kitchen counter in the ground floor. Unfortunately it is carefully watched by at least two persons, so you should skillfully distract/kill them first.

Regardless of the way you subdued Lenny, you have to drag his body to the exit. Fortunately you have a choice, whether you want to return with the body to the starting place, or get to the door in the last room on the ground floor (barber salon).
