Terminus Hotel - Getting to the seventh floor | 3: Terminus Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General assumptions: Upper hotel floors can be reached only by using one of two elevators. Usage of each of them is of course described in details.
Hitman can use one of two elevators. More obvious solution is using elevator located in the main lobby. But unfortunately it is not a good idea, because this elevator is guarded by goons.
If, despite my warnings, you want to use this elevator, I suggest obtaining Hope goon disguise or electrician disguise (janitors are not allowed to get close to this elevator). This is not all of course, because you have to use Instinct to cover your face and wait few seconds for the elevator after pressing button. I recommend using this solution only when you play on lower difficulty levels, because on higher difficulty levels you'll probably have not enough Instinct to stay undetected for such long time.
Less obvious solution is using the elevator located in the basement (screen above). Also in this case you have to wait few seconds until the elevator comes down after pressing a button, so proper preparations are crucial.
The safest approach to the elevator located in the basement is janitor disguise. I also suggest using the hole located in the laundry room, because after reaching the basement, regardless of difficulty level, you'll encounter there only one other janitor, so it will be easy to avoid getting into his field of view.
If you do not have janitor disguise or you want to distract enemies in another way, you can also sabotage the fuse box located near the elevator (screen above). This behavior is strongly advised if you have electrician disguise, because one of them will come later to check the sabotaged box.
The most radical option to distract enemies has two parts. You have to start by finding a generator in the basement and start it. After that locate a lever shown on the above screen and pull it. Pulling the lever will result in giving a shock to characters in flooded part of the basement. Quite obvious disadvantage of this method is that you can kill other persons, with innocent victims among them (e.g. one of electricians).
