Terminus Hotel - Exploring the ground floor and side alleys | 3: Terminus Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General objectives of the stage: Terminus Hotel is the first stage of Terminus mission and its main goal is to get to one of elevators going to of the buildings. Before making any specific decisions, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the hotel, side alleys and its basement.

Move to the hotel. After reaching the destination, it turns out that of the building were rented by Blake Dexter and the entire area is guarded by Hope goons, who do not allow anyone to use the main elevator. It is worth noting, that even before entering the building you can activate an alarm on a car parked next to the entrance (screen above). It will lure out one of the enemies to investigate the problem and you'll be able to obtain Hope goon disguise. But I do not recommend this solution especially that the same disguise can be easily obtained without attacking anyone.

Enter the hotel and look around the lobby, remembering not to approach stairs leading to the elevator (unless you plan to fight enemies). On the left from the lobby you'll find toilets and this is also a good place to surprise armed enemy and take Hope goon disguise. But in this case make sure that none of hotel guests, who can appear in the toiled, will notice you.

On the right from the lobby you'll find apartments and other areas inaccessible to you initially. As a result it is best to explore them only after obtaining a good disguise.

I would recommend getting to the hotel's back in one of two ways. The first method is to use a ventilation shaft located in the toilet (screen above). The second method is to go to the corridor located left from toilets' entrance. In this case, after getting near a janitor and a thug it is best to use the open left shutter and then go along the side alley, reaching the door leading back to the building.

Both variants described above will lead you to a laundry room. You should mainly look around here for Hope goon disguise, shown in the above screen.

I recommend staying in the laundry room for few more moments because sooner or later a janitor will appear here (you do not have to hide from him). A good idea is to neutralize this person in order to obtain janitor disguise. If you play on one of higher difficulty levels then you should perform this action with proper precautions because the adjacent room should be in this case patrolled by a single goon and you should avoid being noticed by him.

Other rooms on the ground floor are not so important. The only exception is hotel manager's room shown on the above screen, because you can find there evidence. Collect it of course.

In addition to the hotel, you should also get interested in an alley shown on the above screen. It is located right from the hotel. If you do not have any disguise or you have Hope goon disguise, you have to be careful not to be caught. If you have janitor disguise then you can explore the alley with no problems. Regardless of your disguise, you should take a closer look at local electrician. You can wait for a good moment and get rid of him, obtaining electrician disguise. In my opinion however, it is far better moving around disguised as janitor.
