Burning hotel | 4: Run For Your Life Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General objectives of the stage: Burning hotel is the first of five stage of Run For Your Life mission. This stage is quite linear and its completion should not take long time, although bypassing policemen on hotel's rooftop can slow down a bit your actions.
This mission begins in a burning hotel room. Follow the linear path, ultimately reaching an open shutter shown on the above screen. Go through the window, reaching a ledge.
Move to the right, ignoring call from officers in a police helicopter. After reaching a ladder, continue climbing. Also in this case you do not have to worry about the big neon parts falling down, because you're all safe. After few moments you'll reach a hotel's rooftop and at this point things will get a bit complicated.
Depending on difficulty level there should be three or four policemen in the area. It would be good to follow game hint and use the advantage of the fact that the rooftop is filled with smoke and enemies have lowered vision here. I suggest from placing yourself behind a nearest cover (screen above).
It is worth to regularly use Instinct here, so you can see enemies better and plan next steps easier. I suggest using covers on the right side, progressively moving forwards. If you do not feel securely you can stun one of the officers and put on Chicago policeman disguise, but it shouldn't be necessary.
In the next part of your march you should reach small stairs and a passage, which is guarded by two or three enemies. It is best to find a nearby wrench and throw it skillfully to distract enemies' attention. You can also run past them but you won't stay unspotted. Regardless of chosen variant, you have to reach an exit indicated by the game.
