Blackwater Park - Unlocking access to the lift | 18: Blackwater Park Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General assumptions: The last part of the first stage of this mission is unlocking the access to the lift. The game allows you to do this in many ways, including the deceit or by eliminating all enemies in the building.

You can advance to the second stage of the eighteenth mission in three main ways. The first method is definitely most aggressive because it assumes that you murder the security woman and bring her body to the retinal scanner. I suggest making some preparations in this case - first of all make a usage of quite large storage of weapons, located at the back of the security room (screen above).

Return to the lobby, activate point shooting mode and try to eliminate as many local enemies as possible.

Once you eliminate a first group of enemies, take cover and start killing other enemies. I suggest choosing such covers that opponents won't be able to attack Hitman from different sides. If you get seriously hit, you can use one of medical cabinets present in the building.

After initial clearing of the area quickly locate the security woman body and start dragging it. You have to drag it to the lift and interact with the retinal scanner. Try to finish this task before you'll got company, because otherwise you would have to deal with more enemies first.

Another possibility it to hack to the computer terminal in order to call the lift. The mentioned terminal is located in the security room (screen above) and you can get inside in few ways. You could choose one of two main entrances or go to the room back and use one of alternative passages.

In the security room you can encounter at least two enemies, even on lower difficulty settings. In addition you have to watch out for other persons (and the security woman), which can show up here. This problem can be solved in two ways - you can use the guard disguise and Instinct or lure out enemies from the security room to eliminate them later. In the latter case I suggest using a radio in one of adjacent corridors and throwable objects.

A terminal which you have to locate is shown on the above screen. Fortunately it is located near one of the security room exits, so right after successful action leave that room.

Now go back to the lift, call it (screen above) and enter inside.

The last variant assumes using the Blackwater manager disguise to outsmart the security woman. You have to start with locating the Blackwater manager, who wears a red suit (screen above).

The best place to attack him is a large room with movie projector (screen 1) or a corridor at the back of the security room (screen 2). In both cases you have to eliminate local guards first. Put on Blackwater manager disguise and hide the body of neutralized opponent.

The last action to be performed now is locating the security woman. Approach her and let her walk you to the lift which she will unlock after a moment.
