The Vixen Club - Killing Dom Osmond | 5: Hunter and Hunted Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General objectives of the stage: The second part of The Vixen Club stage is most important, because it concerns the way of eliminating Dom Osmond. As usual for this type of situation, the game will offer you several options for realizing this plan.
Dom Osmond can be found behind the bar by default (screen above), but it is not worth to attack him in a public place of course, because this will lead to a panic in the club plus all bodyguards will pay attention at Hitman. But fortunately Dom moves between club's different areas, what opens number of options to eliminate him without exposing the Agent 47.
The first opportunity to silently eliminate Dom appears after he meets with one of dancers. You have to use the passage shown on the above screen, leading to private booths. If you use Chicago policeman disguise, you can move further right away. Otherwise you have to try to sneak in or obtain strip club bouncer disguise. In this situation I would recommend knocking down a bouncer who is in the toilet.
Once you get to the new place, turn right. I do not recommend shooting Dom through covers. Instead of that you should get into a right booth shown on the above screen. You have to use here a keycard, obtained in the room on the floor or taken from one of neutralized bouncers.
Stand at the mirror but DO NOT ATTACK Dom yet. Wait until "the show" ends and the dancer leaves the booth. Your target should then make a call and only then I suggest attacking him. Try to use silenced gun (e.g. taken from the room on the floor), so you won't alert nearby characters. After the action you might hide Dom's body in the crate.
The second opportunity related with attacking Dom appears when he goes to the toilet. A corridor leading to toilets is located near the bar. You have to watch out here on higher difficulty levels because there will be two cops here then. One of them stands still but the other one walks from between toilet and a bar table from time to time.
After you get to the toilet, you'll encounter a single bouncer there. You have to think what to do with him now, because one Osmond appears here, the toilet will become inaccessible for anyone from the outside. As a result you can stun/kill the bouncer or hide in the nearby closet.
Wait until Dom appears in the toilet and attack him by a surprise. It is best to use garrote or silenced pistol. After the action you might hide his body in a closet.
The third opportunity to kill Dom is connected with faking an accident in the area with a bachelor party (screen above). This area is located left from the entrance to the main club area.
Use a keycard (obtained from the room on the floor or taken from one of the neutralized bouncers) on the right key-scanner. Do not get inside too early because the local corridor is patrolled by a bouncer.
You can get into back room only after you see Osmond appearing. Wait until your target place himself under the disco ball and press the button shown on the above screen. A ball should fall on Dom and kill him. Do not try to hide his body in this case but get out of the club as fast as possible.
