A Vintage Year Hitman: Blood Money Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The first "real" mission, for which you are to choose your equipment and a way to complete it. You have to deal with two targets: Manuel Delgado and Fernando Delgato, two drug lords. The operation will take place in their luxury mansion in Chile.

Run along the wall to the right and go through the door you'll see. Go up the boxes and jump to the other side of the wall. You'll see a VIP Guard entering the building. There is a second one sleeping to the left - he won't notice you. Follow the former, careful so se doesn't hear you. Enter the wardrobe and wait for him to return. When he's looking away from you, sneak on him and sedate him. Take his uniform and place him somewhere in the corner of the room. If you're quick enough, you can do that without waiting in the closet, just follow the guard to the next room and get him when he's looking out of the window. You now have a suit that will get you anywhere on this level.

Find the stair and go to the second level of the mansion. There are two guards here. Wait so neither of them is looking at you and pick the lock in the door leading to the drug lord's private rooms. Now you get rid of Delgado - if he's playing the violin, use the fiber wire, and if he's looking out of the window, just push him out of it.

Half-way through. Go back down and go through the door (*). Go down the stairs and you'll find yourself in a drug factory. Check the map - you'll see Manuel wandering around. Wait until he enters the factory. When he's going back to the wine cellar (the passage is through the fake barrel in the middle of the map), he should be all alone. Kill him quietly and hide somewhere in the shadows.

You can leave the area the short way - using the elevator in the factory. This way you won't get back your suit, though. You can go back for it and leave through the courtyard - guards' suspicion will rise a bit, but they won't interfere as long as you'll quickly get back to the tourist part of the mansion. Head to the Exit marker on the map. When you're going there, someone might find Manuel's body, but it doesn't matter really. If you've done everything clean, you'll get the Silent Assassin rank either way.

Alternative tactic update: You need to wait until the VIP guard in the garden goes back inside, then sneak past the sleeping guard and climb up the drainage pipe on the side of the house to a balcony. once inside, pick the lock on the door to the left when facing the doors and you will go down a stairwell, there is a sleeping guard in the room at the bottom, so sneak into the room, and there will be a VIP guards uniform at the foot of the bed on a chair, if you take that there is no blood, no bodies and no problems.
Also when it comes to killing Manuel, there is a spot after he exits the factory where he has a smoke on the table, he has a puff then heads to the door back to the staircase, fibrewire him there and stash him in the box nearby, this way his body is not left lying around, the rest of the guide has it perfect, this is a guaranteed 100% foolproof way to do it with silent assassin rating, with absolutely no terminations other than the marks.
