Upper floors - Getting to the eighth floor | 3: Terminus Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

You can reach the eighth hotel floor in three main ways. The first variant is using the main staircase. You can get there through the door sown on the above screen, but it requires a keycard. As for reminder: keycard can be found in rooms 702 and 704.

If you do not have a keycard and you do not want to waste time to obtain it, you can also use a shitter located on the left. In both cases you'll have to distract nearby guard and the easiest way to do it is to turn on the radio left in adjacent corridor. Note - if you play on higher difficulty level do not get spotted also by a maid roaming in the area.

Regardless of whether you've used a keycard or walked on the ledge, you'll find yourself in the staircase shown on the above screen. Go up the stairs to get to the eighth floor. Its exploration will start next to a corridor guarded by one or two opponents.

Another possible method of getting to the eighth floor is using the side staircase. It is shown on the above screen and it is guarded by a group of opponents. Do not try to get past them, unless you have Hope goon disguise and you play on one of lower difficulty levels, thus having a possibility to use Instinct to hide your identity for a longer time.

Much better idea is to distract bandits guarding the side staircase. So walk through the mentioned previously hotel room, which is a crime scene, avoiding the main on your way (you can stun her and hide the body in the closet). Eventually you have to get to the fire alarm switch shown on the above screen.

After using the switch, quickly leave the crime scene, because at least one guard will rush towards you. Go to the unguarded staircase, which will lead you to the eighth floor and specifically to the room with projector and two new enemies.

The last possible method is using the fire stairs. In this case you have to start from reaching the vicinity of hotel room, from which you can hear the music (screen above).

Do not enter the mentioned room, so you won't alert the person inside. Instead, sabotage speakers. Wait until the musician walks out his room and quickly sneak past his back, heading towards the open shutter. Walk over the ledge, reaching a metal construction.

Use the fire stairs in order to get to the eighth floor. Again walk over the ledge, stopping by the shutter shown on the above screen. It leads to the banquet hall.
