Upper floors - Exploring the seventh floor | 3: Terminus Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General objectives of the stage: Upper floors is the second stage of Terminus mission, longer that the previous one. Exploration of new area starts on the seventh floor. In order to complete the mission, you have to find a way to get to the eighth floor and then reach the room 899.

Regardless of whether you enter the elevator in the main lobby or the one in the basement, you'll reach the seventh floor. If you're in janitor disguise or electrician disguise, you do not have to worry. But if you're using Hope goon disguise, you have to get out of sight of nearby bandits as fast as you can (use Instinct to cover your face). If you have no disguise at all, keep in mind that you can get attacked after leaving the elevator.

If Hitman needs a new (or better) disguise, I suggest getting to the storeroom left from the elevator. A maid stops often at the entrance to the storeroom, so wait until she walks away and only then get inside. If you do not want to wait for the maid, go to the nearby toilet and get inside the storeroom through a ventilation shaft.

Inside the above mentioned storeroom you can find janitor disguise on one of shelves. A big advantage of this disguise is that there are no other janitors on a seventh floor (maids are not in this group), so no one will expose you. There is also a movie reel inside the storeroom and although obtaining it is not required, it might be useful later in the mission (after getting to the eighth floor).

I suggest starting exploration of the seventh floor for good only after you make sure, that you have a disguise, which won't be recognized by anyone (janitor or electrician). Main corridors are accessible for everyone and you can encounter there maids and bandits. If you plan to get rid of Hope goons, pay attention to garbage chute located on the wall of one of the corridors (screen above). It is a good place to dispose of bodies, but only if do not mind killing enemies.

The seventh floor has a few inaccessible areas. It is a hotel room which is a crime scene (screen above). There is a maid inside and if she notices you, she will raise the alarm. The main goal of exploring this area is finding a switch which activates fire alarm and this is described in next section of this guide.

The area is also inhabited by hotel guests. Room 704 is the one with arguing couple (screen above). You can find there a keycard and it is best to obtain it after mentioned characters walk away (use Instinct to monitor their actions). It is also worth noting that you can reach this room also from outside through the open shutter, getting there from the ledge.

In the room 702 (screen above) stays a single man. He is alternately talking to the main and on the phone. Also in this room you can find a keycard. Same as previously, you can get inside through the door or from the shutter. The last of rooms reserved for guests is the one with music coming from and this is discussed in more details later in this guide.
