Challenges in The Last Yardbird - Himmelstein [ONLY TEXT]

Textual guide to complete the challenges of the level The Last Yardbird - Himmelstein

Assassinations

A Head Of The Curve :
Eliminate all targets with headshot.

Sleeping With The Fishes
Eliminate and hide five targets in water.
Shoot guards when they are nearby a pool. You can shoot nearby the edge of the pool to make them come closer

Clean Slate
Eliminate and hide all targets.
Shoot guards and target when they are close to pools, balconies, bushes, or windows (for the roof guards)


Smokestack Lightnin'
Eliminate three targets by electrocution within thirty seconds.
Shoot to faucets and irrigators in the garden to create water pools, then shoot to the nearby floor lamp to kill anyone in the pool.

Heavy Burden
Eliminate the three main targets with the same suspended object.
All the three targets will have a meeting in the main building, in the upper floor. When they meet, shoot the chandelier chain above.

Killer Shot
Eliminate Dorian Lang and Guillaume Maison with the loudspeaker outside the art gallery.
To make them place in that position, at the beginning of the level, shoot the photographer stand and to the pole in the labyrinth.

Got A Light
Eliminate the three main targets with the same explosion.
Shoot the chandelier before the meeting. The targets will now meet in a room with a cannon on the left. Shoot the cannon when they meet.

Touch And Go
Eliminate the three main targets while they are escaping.
Trigger an evacuation making someone found a body, then shoot the targets. A good idea could be to trigger the evacuation while the targets are in the cannon room (see Got A Light), and shoot the cannon as soon as they start running. If the targets are in open air, I recommend to shoot to the ground nearby them using the shockwave ammos, since this does not require much precision.

No Loose Ends
Eliminate all bodyguards after starting the evacuation.
Shoot the 3 main targets. At that point, the guards will start to evacuate as well, about 3 at time. Shoot them before any of them escape. It is wise to not shoot the guards that are escaping first (unless they are close to their "escape point"). Instead, shoot the ones that are still, so you will have easier targets. When a guard reaches the "escape point" will remain still for few seconds before disappearing, you can still kill them with wall-piercing ammos.

Boom Boom
Eliminate five targets in explosion within thirty seconds.
A good moment could be when the main targets meet in the cannon room. Kill the main targets with the cannon and then kill some other guards shooting the gas lamps.

Bodysnatcher
Eliminate all bodyguards.

An Elabyrinth Plot
Eliminate Dorian Lang and Doris Lee with the statue in the maze.
Raise the flag shooting the pole in the labyrinth. They will meet there. When the targets meet, shoot the base of the statue.

A Waltz With Death
Eliminate seven targets during bridal waltz.
If you are able to synchronize the meeting of the three main targets with the waltz, it will be easier. It should be sufficient to distract the couple with a floor shot while they are reaching for the front of the building. When the waltz starts, shoot the chandelier and then shoot the guards standing outside.

Feats

Agnomaly
Shoot the 6 gnomes hidden in the map.

Hawkeye
Watch the sky and shoot the three brown hawks that fly around

Art Critic
Shoot at the painting on the second floor of the mansion (on the left).
Wait for the butler to fix the painting then shoot at it again.

Prometheus
Shoot at the campfire in a cave below the helipad, on the right (you can see smoke coming out of it).

Faithless
Before the bride reach the altar, shoot at the priest's wine glass, then wait.

How Do You Due?
Shoot 10 pigeons.

• On the side of the mountain, more or less at half the height
  
• In the parking lot on the left, in front of the white car
  
• In a tree more or less in front of you, on the cliffside nearby the lower right side of the labyrinth
  
• In the corner of a balcony in the left-side of the house
  
• In the left tower on the roof
  
• On the central dome of the house
  
• On the cornice nearby the cages and sacks on the roof, right side of the house
  
• On the head of the right-most statue in the garden, in the wedding area
  
• After shooting the rice sacks on the roof, it will appear there
  
• Behind a flower pot that is just in front of the breaker box on the right side of the mansion

Psycho Daisies
Shoot the bridal bouquet. Do it during the wedding

Blackout
Turn off the lights in all rooms of the mansion.
In each room of the mansion you can find a light switch. Shoot it to all of them!

And He Shall Rice
Shoot at the sack of rice on the roof on the right.

Quacker Than The Eye
Shoot the 10 rubber ducks hidden around the map.

• In the right kitchen (RED)
  
• In the wedding garden, on the head of the upper-most statue (YELLOW)
  
• In the lower part pool, before the garden (BLUE)
  
• Above the left wine-cellar (YELLOW)

• Nearby the chandelier room (WHITE)
  
• In the water behind the garden, on the right of the photographer stand (GREEN)
  
• In the upper aqueduct (WHITE)

Kiln Time
Destroy all 47 vases around the map.
Just follow the edges of the garden and shoot them. Tricky ones: in the photographer position, at top of the stairs in front of the house, in the right part of the wedding garden (many are partially hidden)


Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?
Shoot the two mice in the right-most kitchen.

Take A Hike
Shoot the sign on the fence in front of you, at the beginning of the mountain.

The Higher You Climb
Shoot the bottle of the guy at top of the mountain, then shoot him during his jump (any moment after he has looked down is good)

where is last gnome ?

[CIDES]

Correction for the "Killer Shot" and "An Elabyrinth Plot" challenge: To cause Dorian Lang and Doris Lee to enter the labyrinth, shoot the flag and photoshoot stand. Dorian Lang will meet up with Doris first and after their meeting, he will meet with Guillaume Mason at the art gallery. If you want a shortcut, shoot the chandelier which will cause Dorian and Guillaume to head there first and then all three will meet up so you can explode them with a cannon.

@Javgarag, in what can I help you more?

[Javgarag]

Even if the guide hasn’t got pictures, it’s still a fast guide, not unlike many others.

[Ginopinoshow]

Thanks to @HashyMushy and @theForgotten, I've updated it!

[Interpreter]

Thanks for the guide - I indeed hate video guides :P

[theForgotten]

The tenth pigeon is behind a flower pot that is just in front of the breaker box on the right side of the mansion

[Ashmush]

Maybe one thing you should fix is the fact that you only provided the location of 9 out of 10 pigeons.

[Ginopinoshow]

Can you please state for which challenge you would need more details?
I have made a guide without pictures or videos on purpose, for people who prefer textual content only. If you need videos, there are plenty of other guides :)

[Oranix]

I agree with guy below... this guide only states the obvious and is not helpful at all
