Preparing for Elusive Targets

[Kunovega]

We're still 10 days away from our first elusive target, but in preperation for them I'm going to be practicing levels and challenges to minimize my risk of failure

(elusive target november 17 for 10 days)

For those that don't know, you can restart elusive targets during the mission under certain conditions. Just do not quit or leave the mission once you have started, more info here:

The best channel for tutorials on elusive targets (or most challenges) that I've found is MrFreeze2244

He does all of his challenges as silent assassin. If you are willing to do the challenges without his restrictions the missions will be even easier, but knowing how to do it with the hardest restrictions gives you the most freedom to adapt beyond that (In my opinion)

First elusive target:

My question is this:

Does anyone know of any contracts that mimic the elusive targets a little? Is there anyone who experienced the elusive contracts willing to make contracts similar to the elusives and share them with the community?

Please post any useful contract ID numbers, videos and tips about the elusive targets so that those of us who haven't done them can learn from your experiences

So you mean they aren't releasing them all at once? Just week after week again? Man, these guys are making so many retarded descicions since their split.

I finished all the elusive target without watching any youtube guide. It take a longtime to find a route but that's the way I enjoy Hitman.
The "hardest target" for me is the twin guys at sapienza. It's quite hard to detect the real "target"

It's how they were designed. I'm happy to get a chance at playing them since I didn't have the time to play them the first time around

It was always intended to be 1 at a time and you get one shot at it

If you wanted them to be like any other contract well... you have litterally millions of contracts to pick from. Play those

The only point to differentiating them as "elusive" is due to the time limits and the restrictions. Otherwise these would be just more contracts of which there are already millions

True, twins was hard for me.
That was one of two that i failed.

I'd be careful if you're going to watch old videos of the elusive targets being done. One of the main reasons IOI didn't want to re-release them was that Hitman has been a work in progress ever since it's debut. The mechanics have changed significantly from when the first load of Elusive targets came out. What might have worked in those old videos may not work now. Things will have been tweaked in the re-released missions as IOI said the old versions wouldn't work.

I'd imagine they will be almost exactly the same, but almost is enough to fail a mission easily.

I'm sure if thats the case new videos will get made, if that's what you want to do.

didn´t play the twins, but the bookkeper was hardest elusive target for me, and the only one i couldn´t figure out.

Well, looks like the first one was nothing to worry about. Done in under 5 minutes, silent assassin. 2 suit unlocks out of it (for a paris completion and an SA rating)

Started undercover in the auction. Walked into the attic, disctracted and knocked out the bodyguard. Walked behind and strangled the ET, stuffed them both in the box right near the attic entrance. Then walked right out the front door.

Hopefully the rest will go as smooth and I can unlock all the suits.
