Penthouse - Getting rid of Layla in an arranged accident | 18: Blackwater Park Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General assumptions: Other methods of eliminating Layla involve arranged accidents. The advantage of such solutions is little chance to connect them with Hitman

During your stay in the penthouse you can arrange one of four accidents. First of them is to crush Layla with a whale skeleton. Start with getting to the room on the ground floor, where you can find a whale skeleton (screen above).

Wait until Layla appears in the area and interact with a factory model shown on the above screen in order to activate this mock-up. This action should attract local guards and Layla herself.

Now go up the left or right stairs in order to get to the upper balconies. Wait until Layla walks under the whale skeleton and pull one of levers (screen above) to throw it down, thus killing her.

Another accident is connected to spiking Layla with a harpoon gun. The weapon you're looking for is located in the same room as a whale skeleton (screen above). The beginning of actions is also the same, so you have to wait for Layla to show up here and activate the factory model (try to avoid her bodyguards in the meantime, hiding behind showcases or pillars for example).

Go to the harpoon gun, wait until Layla gets on the line of fire and shoot the harpoon gun (screen above). After the successful action quickly leave this place, because her death may alarm her bodyguards.

The third situation involves poisoning Layla's food and in this case you have to start with looking for the poison. Go to the trophy room shown on the above screen, located on the penthouse floor (left from the Lenny's bedroom).

Once you get inside, start using the Instinct, because there are many laser traps inside. I suggest moving along the right wall and particularly watch out for the moving laser. Once you get to the other side of the room, take U'wa tribe poison and return to the exit. Note - if any of beams touches you, quickly exit the room, because someone will come here soon to check the situation.

Once you get the poison, return to the room on the ground floor (the one, in which you start the penthouse exploration). Locate sushi shown on the above screen and poison it (you do not have to hide in the meantime). Now you have to wait for Layla, who will taste the sushi and walk to the outer balcony. After few moments she will lose the balance and fall down (no one will notice that).

The last, fourth accident involves blowing up the fireplace. First of all, you have to find a gasoline can. One of them can be found on the outer balcony, near the place where you started this stage.

Take the can and go to the other end of the penthouse. Now you have to locate a room shown on the above screen, with a fireplace.

Hide behind one of the couches and wait for Layla. Now throw the can to the fireplace (do not leave the cover). The explosion should kill Layla and since her dead will be noticed by near enemies, you should quickly leave this place.
