If anyone's curious about the cutscene after you leave the opera, that's the start of Hitman: Contacts, the previous game. This fills in the blanks of how 47 got to where he was when that game started.

The funniest thing is that the opera staged in the mission is an actual opera where the protagonist's lover plots his fake execution and escape but the plan fails and he actually gets shot and dies in her hands in a tragic manner. Only when I found out about this I realized what a masterpiece that mission was.

My Favorite Hitman Mission of all time Hands down. Theres nothing like killing a man by switching the prop gun with a real one.

9:12 is where Hitman Contracts story begins!!!

Alec Baldwin be like

Alec Baldwin walking on set like

If they ever remake this game, they should have this all go down during the live performance. Epic.

After playing Blood Money for a while on third or second attempt I realized that the cutscene from 9:18 led to 47 getting shot and escaping to motel beginning our journey in Hitman Contracts where timeline was set in the past, Hitman's flashbacks that is and the final mission seemed to be a bridge between Contracts and the next mission in BM following Curtains Down. That's twisted just like Terminator's universe not gonna lie.

Bald is the key word here

This just happened to Alec Baldwin lmao

Alec Baldwin

I'd never considered that you could fire the real WW1 pistol at the same time as the actor using the fake one. I always waited for them to come back to their dressing, wait for them to pop to the toilet and then switch the guns. It's only in seeing this that I realise, that's a hell of a lot of waiting.

6:57 I'm feeling so stupid for never finding out you could climb that fence despite having replayed this level thousands of times lol

I miss how the NPC's spoke in the languages based on the locations they were.

9:20 I never understood this, until completing HM Contracts and paying attention to the in game briefings. That's the corrupt French chief of police, Fournier (who shoots 47 and is the final target in HM Contracts) he knows who 47 is because the franchise in this game revealed him to them. HM Contracts story takes place after this mission so in reality 47 spends the night wounded in a hotel.

After 10 years this video still helpful ..

Who is here because of Alec Baldwin shooting a cinematographer with an "accidentally" loaded blank gun?

Lmao Alec Baldwin

Why does no one ever rose suspicions over the black suit left on a ground somewhere?

Nice to see that they added the cop who shot 47 at the beginning of contracts at the end

Anyone here today based on the Alec Baldwin incident?

Alec baldwin

This mission is actually based on the play Tosca that the actors are performing. In the play the protagonist thinks he's being shot by a fake gun but it's revealed at the very end he was actually shot by a real gun.

Is anyone else here because of what happened on the set of that Alec Baldwin movie?

Yup! That was actually the method I was trying to perfect for the video, but I found I couldn't get the timing down for consistency without having to wait around forever, so I just went with this method. One of the great things about this game, I think, is that if one way won't work for you, there's a dozen more to find and try.

How I do it, and didn't even know it was possible until recently... Bring with you the sniper rifle, and try and have the best attachments you can for silent and swift kills and a good scope. Carry the briefcase with you at all times. Also try to have the better detonator, but the original one might work, but I have not tested this. -Disguise as the handyman that you subdue in the bathroom, so your suit will remain in the bathroom. -Go to the area where all the rooms are for the actors, there's a hallway with an agent sitting in a chair waiting to use the restroom, there is a door to the far left that leads to an upper floor (where the ratclub is found).. There is a room with a bunch of office desk, one has a keycard to the projector room. -Plant a bomb in the usual spot, where the chandelier will fall. You can do this before you get the keycard if you want. *Optional: Go back and get your suit now, or you can do it once the job is done. -Go to the third floor of the outer area, if you don't know what I mean it is the areas where all the people are walking around, there is a staircase to the right of where the CIA guys are guarding one of the targets, follow it and you should reach the third floor and there are usually tourist here getting a tour of the third floor. Sneak into the projector room, which is what the keycard was needed for. -Unpack suitcase, and wait for the right moment (when the actor raises his gun and shoots the target) to fire your sniper. -Then, the other target will rush down to the main floor, trip, and you will detonate the bomb when he trips. -Put your rifle back into the suitcase and leave. It should work and you'll get the Silent Assassin rating. This is also possible to do without changing disguise but is very difficult.

6:57 GENIUS, I never noticed that.

Tosca brought me here lmao. 7:30 Here she says "That's right, die!" and "What an artist!" (because in the opera he has to fake his death)

The best hitman games I've played! Ohh those memories!

The guard in english: actual acent The guard in spanish: hogla segñoig

clean and smooth! Just had the pleasure to play this game again and its taking me for a ride lol

Hell of a lot cooler than what I did. I walked to the highest floor, sedated both guards, suited as one, walked into the box, sniped the targets and left unnoticed. Took about 3 minutes total.

wow. i remember watching these guide videos years ago, and now here i am again lol! great work, thank you for these vids!

5:34 - Lol Pervert

thanks, it somehow worked, even though I shot him three times after the "acting" shot took place, lol

i've once took the place of the executer and then they started shooting me -_-

aaah the memories!! If I remember corectly, you can go to the room where the actor that does the shooting gets prepared and switch the fake gun with the real one.Then just shoots him for you :D

oh, so THAT'S how you do it the right way lol

I forgot ur jacket

Thanks. Switching out the guns takes ALOT of patience having to wait between rehearsals

all the video u upload is helping us out in odd situations, & ur gameplay is superb, really ur pro :) ^_^ :D :) (y)

When I was young I use to love this game because you really had to use your imagination that was the fun part, it felt like it was a million ways to beat a stage 🙏🏾 now that I'm older I can't play this game no more it's not fun anymore

I love showering in a full towel.

Lol now I understand the Hitman Go version

Nice walkthrough, although I like keeping KOs to a minimum: I grabbed the worker clothes from the dressing room (the same that you went to check the ladies, but for men). That way no innocent people gets involved.

I did this mission in a different way: I changed the fake pistol with the real one and then I waited for the big bang. Oh and I was enjoying the show from a higher place. But I don't remmember what rank I got, This was a long time ago. :D

Did this to the letter but my game plays the shot a little before yours so I can't get there on time, any fix?

3:31 Wonder if the pickup can be traced As evidence.

It always fascinated me how Blood Money and Contracts are cleverly interwoven in places. Like how 9:12 ties into this bit kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecdiZJxkzL7QZ58.html Always thought it was another bald lower numbered clone who shot him, but I think it was one of those albino clones, Parchezzi or Paraya, or whatever they're called.

Isn't it easier to switch the prop for the real gun? That way no need to worry about the timing on shooting him. That way, I just wait by the second floor balcony overlooking the main floor. So when Delahunt is hauling ass and trips, I drop the chandelier on him and I can smoothly just pick up my suit and walk out. Somehow though doing that, there was a "witness" and instead I got Professional instead of SA one time.

The guy at the cloak room has 2 different voices

I did exactly this? But I counted the sedation as a close combat kill? And I I ended with hitman rating? I only need the 5 proffessional SA ratings and I have my 3rd hitman platinum. Just started my proffessional playthrough So far I SA ranked a vintage year, does anyone recommend the next 4 easiest to SA? I'm gonna replay this level and then I will only need 3 more. It worked second time, maybe I poisoned the handy man instead of sedate.. but I 100% remember him snoring lol.

How I did the mission: I walked through with the rifle case and walked to the second floor. I took out the guard at the end of the hall and hid his body before another guard patrols in my area. I stayed perched on the balcony overlooking the stage and the ambassador's V.I.P. box. Once the show started, I waited until the gun shot. Note I didn't replace the gun. I just took the rifle, aimed and at the moment the shot was heard from the prop gun, I fired one bullet in the target. His death wasn't immediately noticed and this gave me time to take out the ambassador. I then casually walked out as everyone else was trying to find the shooter. I was long gone already though.

This method is the quickest way. The other way is more elaborate but fun. I really feel like I'm in a movie when I play these games.

you really need to make absolution videos! "hello ladies! :D" hahaha

Thank you!

So this mission is a prequel to Contracts?

this mission was very fun, the way i did it was by switching the guns then by planting a toolbox with a box above the 2nd target and when the actor got shot i used the detonator and killed 2 targets at the same time (i discovered that bombs go through walls accidentally after trying to blow up the keycard door and having it kill the ponytail guy)

Good evening, Mr Baldwin. I’m the new stage hand, Tobias Rieper I’ve been absolutely dying to work on your films The stage is set for you to begin... shooting Try this prop instead, it makes for a much more realistic... execution

Just finished the mission, had silent assassin despite 1 body found and missing the second guy chandellier kill. I just blew up chandrllier later, guards were running towards it, I killed the second guy with silenced gun from above, mission accomplised with silent assassin rank.

Wow! That was great using the sound of the gun.

There are 2 places you can place mines and drop 2 different objects. One to kill the opera singer and one to kill the guy in the blue suit.

Never realized you could shoot the real gun at the same time!! I always swapped them, this is much cooler

Developers had to be opera fans. Anyone else did get the irony?

Man! I knew I was on the right lines just thought I had to swap the actors gun for the real one

I just came back here to check if I recall correctly after all these years. From the second dialogue afterwards the NPC has a different voice 🤣

Buddy with the cigar look like Harvey dent or somebody lol

Dude thanks it helped me a lot and you earned a sub

when i was in the "you better watch out...." episode when i went to the bar. they start looking at me suspiciously and then they start shooting at me and i realized that my "Notifeiry" something? have been reached to 60 and that's why i started over again ^_^

Wow no stone unturned you provide every detail except the one I wanted translation but good job

Was my favorite hitman game

Lol after all those years I didn't know that way of doing it. I always switched the prep gun with the real one.

Why didn't you get noise bro, you used mine right

When you get in place to trigger the explosive a guard or 2 always come to my location...I've tried avoiding this and idk how

- Il a longé de drôle de façon! - Monsieur D'Alvade, vous pouvez vou relever maintenaint! - Il ne bouge plus! -Monsieur D'Alvade, tout va bien? -Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, je l'ai tué! (starts running) loooool

The great mission

Can somebody help me. I do it like in the video but i always end up with 1 witness, screwing my rank. Can someone help me on that?

I switched the prop gun for the real one in the other actor's room and then enjoyed the whole show from that gap right below the place you put the mine on. But as I was heading to the exit (I was close to the place from where you get the real gun and running), they somehow discovered me and started shooting me even though BOTH deaths were "accidents". Fucking AI, man...

I have some problems. I complete 5 missions on pro where i kill only use accidents and have perfect statistic, but game give me only professional. And then i complete mission where i kill Vinni with garrota and game give me silent assasin. Why?

I have no idea. I haven't played the game since around the time I posted that comment.

Love the wink wink part ahhaha...Meow

This remains the best hitman map/mission of all time

@v4lor149 umm, now that i think of it, u're right, it is. and it would eventually have gotten borin after a while.

Instead you can conceal the bomb in the toolbox on the red carpet instead of going up to the chandelier

Fun game, can't wait to preorder New hitman

I was watching the video on pause , I paused it jus to fall off the cat walk and die

In my game there are no hints no sound no dialogues that's why I came here to get clue what actually we have to do

What upgrades are u able to buy for the silverballer after completing a vintage year

I just bought this game and I don't understand how you know where to go and what to do? Like the chandelairroom? How are you supposed to know that? Lol

I remember every thing went bad my heart was beating

Do you still upload?

Un dato importante les doy, hay que llegar a disfrazarse del soldado que ejecuta al cantante OBJETIVO, con el cual disparas de FRENTE y lo asesinas, y cuando te vas caminando bien Pancho ... EMPIEZA a sonar uno de los temas principales del " HITMAN BLOOD MONEY", ": Apocalypse": si no lo escucharon NUNCA busquenlo no sean pajeros, en KZfaq está!!!! Es difícil hacerlo de esa manera, pero es la única manera para que empiece a SONAR ESA OBRA MAESTRA!

@autobot021 Its never too late, though personally I thought Conviction was crappy :)

No snarky comment from the Officer about "getting 47 in the NEXT gam- er, PREVIOUS game?"

Love your vids

anyone tried takeing the executineers place on the stage?

I have a VERY fast method, i couldn't make to be SA but it's professional, and it takes 2 minutes total. It implies not one explosion, but TWO. It's a cool method, sadly it's not valid for speedruns.

İ ever play the game without Retrieve the Suit of Hitman. But the rank still Silent Assasin unless if 47 killed a victim.

Im doing this strategy but i can't get SA because it says that it have 2 witnesses :|

The first time I did this I snuck into the balcony knock out a guard stole his rifle shot the target on stage Joined the running crowd shot the second as his detail was securing him then ran to the door
