Hitman 2’s inaugural Elusive Target is finally here, giving players a chance to eliminate Mark Faba, a.k.a. The Undying. Given how much Io Interactive has played up actor Sean Bean’s portrayal of Faba, the hype level is high. In this guide, we’ll show you how to eliminate Faba and make a clean getaway.
The Undying Mission Setup
Despite the somewhat intimidating premise of Hitman 2’s Elusive Target missions, the setup for The Undying is pretty straightforward. You don’t need to unlock any special tools or weapons for the mission. Heck, you don’t even need the tools you begin with by default. You do, however, need your suppressed pistol if you want to earn the Silent Assassin rating.
The Undying Walkthrough
When the mission starts, run ahead into the Kronstadt building and turn to the left towards the coat check booth. There’s an attendant inside the booth and when he turns his back sneak inside the booth. Between the rows of hanging coats you’ll find a Kronstadt engineer’s outfit. Put on the outfit and then exit the booth.
Now, if you want the Silent Assassin rating, look towards the far staircase with the “Executive Floor” sign above it. Next to the Executive Floor sign is a camera that must be shot out so it doesn’t spot you. If you stand slightly to the left of the reception desk, you can shoot the camera with your suppressed pistol. With the camera disabled, speak to your contact David Ready to trigger the mission story.
David will start heading upstairs but you can run ahead of him and follow the mission prompt symbol. The mission prompt takes you to a conference room on the second floor where Faba is waiting for you. As soon as Faba starts speaking, exit the conference room and head down the hallway to your left. Go right at each of the forks and you’ll eventually reach a wall with a corkboard on it.
Eliminating Mark Faba
To the left of the corkboard wall is a door leading into the chief engineer’s office. When the chief engineer (the one with the blue lab coat) is in the office, shut all the doors. With all the doors shut, subdue the chief engineer and hide his unconscious body in the large storage crate. Take his disguise and move into the larger android testing room. There are two lab assistants and you need to knock them both out. You can use one of the android arms and then hide their bodies in a storage closet to the south.
Take two firearms off the southeastern table and leave them on the floor near the chief engineer’s office. Faba will eventually head down towards the chief engineer’s office with two bodyguards in tow. Greet Faba and have him open the door to the android testing room. When he sees the weapons on the floor, he’ll have his guards take them away. This leaves you and Faba alone in the android testing room. Faba will stand in front of a fountain pen holder, allowing you to perform an environmental kill. Hide Faba’s body in the same crate as the chief engineer and then exit the mission.
