Beldingford Manor

Here's an odd one, 47. Our client's son, Giles Northcott, was recently abducted by Lord Winston Beldingford and Alistair Beldingford.

The client wants his son freed and he wants both Beldingfords, father and son, taken out. There's a hunting party at the family manor this weekend and the guests should give you extra cover. There's been a high turnover on their domestic staff, so that may be another in, take care of business and get out of there 47. MISSION ACTIVE

Disguises

Civilians

• Suit: No access allowed. Being spotted by enemies will alert them.
• Stable boy: Carries a stable key for gaining access to stable cells. Horses won't alert the guards with this disguise worn. Strangely enough, the stable boy disguise works almost everywhere.
• Butler: Good for poisoning Alistair Beldingford. Not permitted outside the manor.
• Outdoors: Can openly carry weapons. Disguise is not permitted inside the manor.
• Indoors: Can openly carry weapons. Make sure other guards don't see your face. Disguise is not permitted outside the manor.
• Hunting party member: Can openly carry weapons. Disguise permits entrance to almost any location.

Bugs

• Oddly, if the fire key is pressed when holding the carafe, it instantly fills the carafe with whiskey, without needing to fill it from the basement. This was likely left in as a developer testing tool the creators forgot to remove in the final release.
• When disguised as the Butler, entering Alistair's room while also going too fast will cause Alistair to hit you with his gun.

Trivia

• Members of the Hitman Forum have voted it to be the best mission the Hitman series in an October 2014 poll.
• The carafe which can be used to poison Whiskey and kill Alistar is described as being made with precious gems or metals, as well as being a family heirloom "used for nefarious purposes more than once".
