Terminus Hotel - Exploring the hotel's basement | 3: Terminus Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General assumptions: Exploration of the basement is not required but highly recommended, because it will be the easiest way to get later to from here.
You can get inside the basement in several different ways. The first method is using the sewer descent shown on the above screen. It is located left from the main hotel door. The descent is not guarded by anyone but further part of sewers is patrolled by at least one goon, so either you have to avoid him or have a proper disguise (janitors and electricians have a full access to the basement).
Another basement entrance is located near the previously mentioned side alley, right from the hotel building (screen above). What's interesting, in order to get there you do not have to move through the area guarded by at least two goons, because you can also use the shutter in a flat (the one adjacent to the hotel lobby) and lower down after getting to the ledge.
Yet another option is to use the hole shown on the above screen, which is located in the laundry room (the one where you can get Hope goon disguise and eventually get rid of the janitor).
The last of available options to get into the basement is to locate main stairs leading down there, which can be found at the back of the hotel, on the ground floor.
During exploration of the basement you have to keep all possible precautions because you can be very easily exposed. There are many goons and electricians inside, with fewer janitors. So it would be good to obtain janitor disguise earlier, though, of course even then you have to watch out, carefully observing the surroundings before carrying out next steps.
