luring ponchos

[succ]

im REALLY stuck on One Hell Of a Night, im trying to get the disguise but theres 2 ponchos, a longcoat and a civilian all with their views right on the disguise and my party has no weapons, how the hell are you supposed to do this? you can't knock out anyone because theres atleast one poncho looking over each person

Just a quick idea:

knock out 2-3 people before this line them up on the floor and then drop one in the view cone of the poncho you want to drag away and then as he sees the other tied up people he will walk to the last person as long as he can see them before he gets the the first body (the one in the bright view cone)

Long coats will also follow footprints, so you can use that to lure them away.

Combined with throwing distractions and several synchronized knockouts, it's possible to do. but it takes some quick actions.

It's really really really retarded and I am glad I only read about this now that I played in peace through until the last mission (pending). Yeah, nobody forces you to abuse tied lure, but it will always be in the back of your head when you encounter a hard situation. Until now, they all could be solved in another way.

I'm stuck on this part of the mission. I'm sure I can figure something out but I haven't been enjoying Desperados III as much as Shadow Tactics so I've lost my enthusiasm to continue playing.

I'm surprised at how many people enjoy Desperados III as much or more than Shadow Tactics. I don't notice any meaningful improvements and so far I've found the scenario design to be uninteresting.

There are lots of ways to solve your issue. You can see some options already from previous posts. You can also try to distract one specific poncho as soon as long coat passed him and at the same time deal with the other ponchos. You can distract ponchos with coppers coin, hectors whistle and lower his view with Kate. 2 distractions should be long enough for you to know out 2nd poncho. I would use Kate as she can drag unconscious ponchos away before the long coat comes back.

Any situation has more than one approach usually. Don't be afraid to experiment.

Everything can be solved without that cheese, unless you're on Desperado, then maybe that's what it's made for, because cheesing other ways is harder there.

Finally finished the mission. Glad to be done with it, I didn't enjoy playing it at all.

I really enjoyed the game up until this mission, although not as much as I enjoyed Shadow Tactics. This mission completely killed my enthusiasm for the game. I'm definitely done with this style of strategy game - trial an error masquerading as strategy.

to lure punchos and long coats just have a knockout and tied enemy then drop them in front of their view radius , this trick would distract any kind of enemy. i found this method in first couple days after game released and that's why i felt this game is easy even on desperados difficulty !!!

True. I already said to MIMI they should make a tied enemy raise alarm instantly. At least on Desperados difficulty. This would make many scenarios way more interesting. I try not to use this feature but its there, so its kinda hard not to use it. I just wish it was not available xD

I've never intentionally used the body distraction method, and I managed to get through the entire game (on Hard, not Desperado). It can be done. I don't even remember exactly how I did that one, but many times I just couldn't figure out how to distract a poncho, I then realized Kate could just perfume the problem away.

This mission is just before you get Isabelle, who is really the best addition to the game relative to Shadow Tactics. So in some ways this was the low point of the game.

in dlc's they made enemies very close together and it really needs skill to play with least save and loads . . . but watching desperados 1 map rebuild in desperados 3 made me to be excited for further rebuild designs !!!

This game is finished development. At least for original maps.
