Upper floors - Getting to room 899 | 3: Terminus Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Exploration of eighth floor can be different each time and it depends on your starting point. A corridor adjacent to the passage from the main staircase is patrolled by one or two guards, depending on the difficulty level. It is recommended to get rid of at least one of them, by surprising him from behind and hiding the body in a crate or by throwing him out of the window. It is worth noting, that there is Hope goon disguise lying on a nearby table and you should use it if you do not want to attack anyone.

The shutter mentioned earlier is a very good solution to getting close to the room 899. You'll have to perform some acrobatics here, but you should not be noticed by anyone during these actions.

Surroundings of the closed elevator on the eighth floor are guarded by at least 2-3 enemies. So you should stay away from them, use covers or wait until they split up.

A small projector room is occupied by two guards. One of them goes to the side staircase from time to time, which should make your life easier. The mentioned projector is interactive. If you have a movie reel (obtained on seventh floor), you can use it here, thus encouraging local guards to watch a movie. If you do not have a movie reel, you can find it in one of the banquet halls, but it is harder to obtain it while remaining unnoticed.

The side banquet halls are occupied by quite large groups of enemies and if you haven't distracted them with a projector, avoiding them might be problematic. Certain facilitation can be a fact, that you can throw enemies out of windows by surprising them from behind or waiting for them on ledges.

The door leading to room 899 should be guarded by a single enemy, regardless of the difficulty level. Depending on your preferences you can stun him, throw him out of the window or try to sneak past him. But keep in mind that opening the door, which is the main mission goal, is not immediate but takes a few seconds.

Before you use the door leading to room 899, you might explore first one more room located left from here (screen above), adjacent to one of banquet halls. Inside you'll find weapons storeroom guarded by at least one enemy, but more important is new evidence lying on the table.

Opening the room 899 door doesn't officially end the mission. The last thing you have to do is to enter the right ventilation shaft (screen above). When you get inside, crawl forwards until the last cut-scene is displayed.
