Intro

Thanks for checking out this guide,

By the end of this guide you will be able to power through "A Vintage Year" with little or no issues for a Silent Assassin rating with no guns.

So starting out, you don't need any weapons or extra gear (Might as well buy upgrades though)

Start that mission, and lets get the show on the road

Mission Start

This is where the fun begins, you start out in front of a door with a guard and a few randoms walking in/around. To you're left is some ♥♥♥♥ you don't need to worry about.

To your right there is guard walking away from you,

run past him and go right to the door near the rails (on the left side)

Generally if you're quick there will still be a worker in that little storage area, ignore him and couch go behind or around the boxes, careful he doesn't see you.

Climb the boxes and jump the wall.

Once over the wall ignore the guard walking inside he's not a threat, sneak past the guy sleeping on the left side near the fountain. The guy sleeping does seem to have a cycle, he will wake up and stretch then sit back down and fall asleep again. If you're quick this doesn't matter

Just past him on the left side of the steps is a little planter, i find it useful to couch behind this to watch the location of the guard around the corner.

Once he approaches and turns around run over to the drain pipe and climb up and get inside the house.

Stealing a uniform

Now that you're inside we need to find a new outfit.


in that first room upon entering the upstairs you see two doors, Open and enter the left door then head down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs you will encounter a locked door, just pick the lock and sneak into the room. Ignore the sleeping guard do not wake him.


At the foot of the bed there is a chair with a VIP Guard Uniform sitting ontop,


change into this and head out via the door on the right (Don't forget to grab souvenirs)

Killing Don Fernando Delgado - Accident

Head straight to the other end of the hall, enter that door then through the second door into the "Kitchen"

Turning left you see another door, head through that and look around to ensure no one is watching, be aware there is a worker who stops and has a smoke while looking in that direction so you may have to wait till he leaves. Then climb up the pipe next to the door. Make sure you peak over the top before finishing the climb as there is a guard that patrols on the outside of the wall and sometimes will spot you from out there.

Once at the top you will go right and climb into the open window.

If you were fast enough the Don will still be in his chair, wait till he stops playing and goes into the other room.

Wait till he goes over to the balcony, don't worry about the guard he's sleeping. Once at the balcony just give him a little shove over the rails.

This will result in an accident (Don't worry about his gun we can get that later on the way home)

Killing Don Fernando Delgado - Poison Kill

Head straight to the other end of the hall, enter that door then through the second door into the "Kitchen"

Turning left you see another door, head through that and look around to ensure no one is watching, be aware there is a worker who stops and has a smoke while looking in that direction so you may have to wait till he leaves. Then climb up the pipe next to the door. Make sure you peak over the top before finishing the climb as there is a guard that patrols on the outside of the wall and sometimes will spot you from out there.

Once at the top you will go right and climb into the open window.

If you were fast enough the Don will still be in his chair, sneak up and poison him.

This will result in a kill

Taking out Cokeimonster - Accident

ow that the Don has been taken care of you will now need to find the Cokeimonster he's down checking out the lab and doing some lines at this point.

Head out from the Dons room via any of the locked doors, just pick one... literally

Run downstairs and outside, go left and through the doors into the main courtyard.

Head over to the cellar doors, go inside and wait for the guard to walk away, once clear plant a bomb on the winch

Follow the guard downstairs and distract him until Cokiemonster walks below the lift(Use your Map), run back up most of the way and trigger the bomb without being seen then run back outside.

Taking out Cokeimonster - Poison Kill

Now that the Don has been taken care of you will now need to find the Cokeimonster he's down checking out the lab and doing some lines at this point.

Head out from the Dons room via any of the locked doors, just pick one... literally

Run downstairs and outside, go left and through the doors into the main courtyard.

Head over to the cellar doors and head downstairs.

Once downstairs take the first door on the right.

hide in here until Cokiemonster shows up and does a line, Lurk until you confirm guards are not looking, then sneak up and poison him.

As soon as he hits the floor grab his body and drag him over to the box you saw when coming into this room, if you want his gun drop the body in front of the box and grab it before tossing him in the box.

At this point all targets are eliminated, one is an accident and one is a kill, now its time to escape.

Suit retrieval and escape

Now everything is done, head back to the room you acquired the VIP Guard Uniform from.

You have two options, go back via main stairs through the courtyard or head through the lab and take the back stairs into the house, take your pick you're a VIP ;)

Change suits and look through the keyhole on the right side door. Wait till guardo is walking away and head through the door, take the first door on the right. Head outside via the exterior door to your right. From there run back into the courtyard, you will have a guard notice you but ignore him as you won't be shot for trespassing right away.


Once in the courtyard take the doors back to the starting area, once through go right around the back of the walls. Ignore the guards and run down towards the cliff and take the path on your right side. Head down past the Don's body (Grab his gun if you want) sneak past the worker at the bottom and sneak up to the guard having a smoke. Once near him just book it over to the other side of the plane and exit before he agros.

Congrats, you have an easy SA with no guns and no witnesses.
