Situs Inversus[]
After Colorado we did some digging into Soders' private affairs, and discovered that he has been fast-tracked for critical heart surgery at the hyper-exclusive Gama private hospital in Hokkaido, Japan. Such a display of power has Providence written all over it.
We have booked you into Gama under the usual guise of Tobias Rieper, corporate shark, here for a standard medical checkup. As such, you will need to play it by ear and procure whatever tools you need to complete the mission.
You also need to eliminate Yuki Yamazaki; a Tokyo lawyer who works for Providence. Soders has already given Yamazaki access to our client records and has agreed to provide a full list of active ICA operatives, post operation. This transaction cannot be allowed to happen.
Soders must pay for his treachery and his insidious employers must be taught a lesson. ICA’s sovereignty is at stake. Powerful as Providence may be, we need to draw a line in the sand.
I will leave you to prepare."
MISSION STATUS ACTIVE
Description[]
Having discovered that Erich Soders has been secretly colluding with the organization known as Providence, the ICA Board of Directors has sanctioned Agent 47 to eliminate Soders, both to prevent more leaks, and as a show of force against Providence.
Soders, who suffers from the medical condition Situs Inversus (where his internal organs are lethally and erratically arranged), has used his connections with Providence to secure himself a right-sided heart, and a surgery at the high tech GAMA hospital in Hokkaido, Japan. Agent 47 must infiltrate the hospital and eliminate Soders. Additionally, he must eliminate Yuki Yamazaki, a Tokyo lawyer and a member of Providence's messenger corps, The Heralds, who has been sent to retrieve a list of active ICA agents from Soders.
Some time after the mission, Diana is approached by The Constant, Providence's controller. He promises to no longer interfere with the ICA, and requests that Diana help take down the Shadow Client. In return, he promises to exchange information about 47's past...

Intelligence[]
- A Pack of Cigarettes
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This is a pack of cigarettes. Gama has a strict no-smoking policy in all areas of the hospital so these are definitely contraband and must have been smuggled in somehow. |
- Confidential Patient Journal - Amos Dexter
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Patient, Amos Dexter, is a regular at Gama. He is currently scheduled for his eight organ transplant in five years. Dexter has been here so frequently that we, despite Dr. Ito's best conservation and curation efforts, are currently out of viable lungs for him to have transplanted and Mr. Dexter is now on the RED list, awaiting a suitable donor organ. It should also be noted that Mr. Dexter still smokes and multiple staff members have confiscated several packs of cigarettes from his room; despite our best efforts, new packs keep showing up. It is recommended that an extra eye is kept on Mr. Dexter after surgery to ensure this habit is killed. |
- Confidential Patients Journal - Erich Soders
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Patient, Erich Soders suffers from the Situs Inversus conditionm which has presented Dr. Ito, our resident curator, with challenges in terms of recovering a suitable donor heart. One such heart did fortunately find its way to Gama and currently resides in the organ vault. Dr. Nicholas Laurent has been flown to assist KAI with the heart replacement procedure. Mr. Soders is currently being prepared for the procedure through a series of ground-breaking stem cell treatments pioneered (patents pending) by Dr. Laurent. The patient resides in theater and is under constant care from KAI and dependent on life support. Patient has not yet been put under. |
- Confidential Patients Journal - Jason Portman
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Patient, Jason Portman admitted to Gama for a full facial reconstruction. Reference images of Helmut Kruger added to the patient database prior to Mr. Portman's arrival. The procedure proved to be quite a challenge given the weak chin and almost-non-existent cheekbones of the patient and his desire to match Kruger 1:1. Previous facial surgery complicated matters considerably due to a lack of cartilage and facial support structure that had been chiselled away over the years. Patient is scheduled for checkup today. |
- Confidential Patients Journal - Tobias Rieper
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Mr. Rieper was admitted to Gama for a standard physical checkup. Preliminary results indicate that Mr. Rieper is in peak physical condition. In fact, the tests show absolutely no indication of any of the issues one might expect from a man his age. Melanoma, cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and heart condition checks are all in the green. Physically, Mr. Rieper is like that of a man in his early 20's. KAI was asked to run all test results through her algorithms twice. Note from the supervisor: Would it be possible to keep Mr. Rieper at Gama a little longer to run some additional test? This man is literally one big stem cell. It's almost as if he's been engineered. |
- Doctors Appointment
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Jason Portman, tech prodigy and full-time nerd, has gotten a full facial reconstruction at Gama and is scheduled to have his bandages removed today. |
- Erich Soders' Kill List
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Yuki Yamazaki's flash drive includes a list of Erich Soders' accomplishments as an ICA agent during the 1970s. Among his targets is a certain doctor Roman Laurent, father of chief surgeon Nicholas Laurent. By a strange twist of fate, Laurent is unknowingly trying to save the life of his father's killer. If only he knew. |
- Fugu Fish Poison
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This is poison from the fugu fish, also known as pufferfish. Fugu can be lethally poisonous to eat unless prepared by a master sushi chef. It is considered a rare delicacy in Japan. |
- GAMA Hospital Pamphlet
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
A pamphlet describing the facilities at Gama: Patients are encouraged to enjoy themselves at the spa, restaurant and in the outside winter garden. Entry to the facility's many sections is granted by KAI, the resident artificial intelligence. KAI recognizes the chips implanted in your clothes and will automaticlly grant you access to the areas of Gama that you are allowed to visit. Patients with appointments at the hospital facility will be notified through the hospital's PA system. |
- KAI
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Gama hospital is in part run by an artificial intelligence called KAI. KAI is in charge of everything from calling patients over the PA to performing advanced surgery procedures. Everything at Gama is top of the line and even the doors are out of the ordinary. No keys are needed as KAI simply detects the presence of a small RFID chip incorporated into your clothing and grants you the appropriate access. Smooth and efficient. |
- KAI Malfunction
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Despite the incredible complexity of the hospital artificial intelligence, KAI, it's not infallible. A couple of Gama staff members have mentioned an incident where the mainframe malfunctioned and KAI regressed to a child-like state. Luckily, no one was being operated on at the time of the incident. |
- KAI Surgical System Manual
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
An operations manual for KAI; the hospital's revolutionary AI, developed by Kronstadt Technologies. Apparently, KAI not only keeps the facility running, but also controls the surgery robot in the operation theater and is programmed to automatically revive patients when they flatline. This could complicate matters. However, the only person with access to KAI's mainframe is the hospital director. |
- KAI's Resuscitation Program
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
KAI has been programmed to initiate a resuscitation program whenever a flatline is detected. This will be initiated using the defibrilator system. |
- Lethal Stem Cell Container
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
A container filled with contaminated, poisonous stem cells. Getting injected with these would not be beneficial for your health. |
- Life Support System Console
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Soders is connected to a respirator, which keeps his vital up while undergoing the stem cell treatment. This console controls that respirator. |
- Neurochip Remote Control
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This is a remote control used to increase or decrease the chemical dosage released from the neurochip residing in the Curator's brain. |
- Nondescript Keycard
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
A keycard found in the Hospital Director's office. |
- Power Supply Console
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This console monitors and controls the power supply and output of the resuscitation system. Tampering is not advised. |
- Public Patients Journal - Amos Dexter
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Mr. Dexter is admitted to Gama on the RED list. He is scheduled for a lung transplant as soon as a viable donor organ becomes available. So far, there seems to be no complications and the supervising surgeon is positive towards a full recovery of the patient. |
- Public Patients Journal - Jason Portman
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Mr. Jason Portman admitted for a planned facial surgery. Surgery has been undertaken and procedure is deemed a success. Healing is progressing at an average pace, and though the curve is dropping slightly there is little to be concerned about. KAI estimates that the lower healing rate is due to elevated levels of stress hormones in patient's body. Recommended yoga lessons and spa treatments declined by the patient. Mr. Portman is scheduled for a routine checkup today. The hope is to have the bandages removed. |
- Public Patients Journal - Tobias Rieper
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Mr. Tobias Rieper is in excellent physical condition. Blood work shows no indication of hereditary or age-related illnesses. Biomarkers indicate Mr. Rieper is in perfect health. Second sequence of tests not yet fully analyzed. |
- Research Assistant's Notes
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
These are research notes on The Curator and his neurochip implant. They go into some detail on how the chip functions and how the increase and decrease in dosage delivery affects his mood. The notes indicate that increases in dosage tends to result in the Curator becoming quite elated while decreasing dosages revert him to his default depressed state. Interestingly, the research assistant has been dosing the Curator without his knowledge, using the chip remote control found in Curator's sleeping pod. |
- RFID Master Chip
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This is an all access keycard outfitted with an RFID master chip, which allows the user access to all locked areas in the Gama facility. |
- Right-sided Donor Heart
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
A right-sided donor heart has been added to the hospital's organ storage facility. Soders suffers from Situs Inversus, a condition which causes his internal organs to be mirrored. Surely that heart is meant for him. |
- Robot Maintenance Controls
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This console can be used to test the hydraulics of the surgical robot arms. They should only be used if there is no patient present. As a precaution, KAI is instructed to prevent any patient from harm. |
- Robotic Surgery Control Console
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This console is used by the chief surgeon to operate on Erich Soders during the heart transplant. The operation is performed through the use of robotic arms and assisted by KAI. The AI keeps Soders' vital stable and will assist with resuscitation, if needed. |
- Stem Cell Console
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This console controls the transmission of stem cells from the canisters to Soders. Terminating the treatment will flush the canisters and new ones will be required to continue the treatment. |
- Stem Cell Treatment Guide
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
A guide to administer doctor Laurent's revolutionary stem cell treatment. Apparently, the stem cells work to temporarily accelerate tissue regeneration, vastly increasing the patient's chance of survival. The stem cells are pumped directly into the patient's blood stream from a nearby vial. |
- The Curator
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
According to his assistent, The Curator has a serious issue with his bio-chemical stability. The assistant has documented the condition in his notes trying to find a pattern. Those might be interesting reading. |
- Under the Counter Pharmacy
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
It seems that Nails, the helicopter pilot, has an addition job, which involves selling pills to staff and patients at Gama. He looks to be supplying Nicholas Laurent, the cardiologist heading the operation on Soders, with some sort of pills. |
- Yamazaki Wants Fugu
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Not content with the trills of being a Providence operative and former Yakuza lawyer, Yuki Yamazaki seeks to tingle her tastebuds with the meat of the poisonous fugu fish. Sadly, the chef has been ordered not to server fugu after an unfortunate incidental poisoning of a hospital patient. Now, they are throwing out the last fugu. |
- Yoga Instructor Down
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
The resident yoga instructor apparently injured himself while performing a particulary [sic] daring pose. He's now limping around somewhere in the hospital, unable to instruct anyone. |
- Yoga Schedule
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
This is a schedule showing the yoga lessons for the day. Two things of immediate interest: JB, the yoga instructor, hasn't crossed off any of the completed lessons. And Yuki Yamazaki looks to have booked the entire day for herself. |
- Yuki Yamazaki Needs a Smoke
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Yuki Yamazaki is a heavy smoker and apparently she lost her cigarettes on the way to the facility. Combined with Gama's strict no-smoking policy, this has left her unable to get her fix and turned her desperate for a real cigarette. |

Trivia[]
The text below contains some of the easter eggs on this mission. For the full list of easter eggs on this and other missions, see here.
- There are a total of 169 civilians in this mission.
- This mission can be compared to the Hitman 2: Silent Assassin mission Terminal Hospitality; both missions take place in an exclusive hospital, and the assassination target is undergoing a heart surgery; in the case of Terminal Hospitality, the target is Deewana Ji.
- This mission is the second in the series to take place in a hospital (not counting the Asylum or the Pine Cone rehab clinic).
- This is the first mission in the entire franchise that does not require you to assassinate a target directly since Soders will meet his implied death if the heart was destroyed.
- This is similar to Murder at the Bazaar in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin where it is not mandatory to kill the targets to be able to finish the level, though the objective to kill them still remains incomplete.
- Situs inversus is a real condition. Patients with situs inversus who do need a heart transplantation do not actually need a right-sided donor heart; this and the fact that Soders could receive an artificial heart means that it would be unlikely for a man with his resources to be doomed simply because he needed a new heart. Medical facts were adjusted to enhance the game's theme of the wealthy and elite of society exploiting the poor and vulnerable-in Soders' case, by harvesting the organs of an impoverished person in the developing world to prolong this own life.
- The challenge "Jeg Sauna Hende Ikke" is a play on the Danish phrase "Jeg savner hende ikke", which in English means "I don't miss her".
- The Opportunity "Tell-Tale Heart" is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's short fiction "The Tell-Tale Heart".
- The window to the operating theater is bulletproof, despite similar windows not stopping bullets.
- 47 hasn't improved much when it comes to dancing from his days in Hitman: Blood Money. This is evident when completing the "Techman" challenge. However, this doesn't apply if he is in the Ninja suit.
- Leaving an explosive near the windsock (wind direction flag) that is near the helipad, followed by acquiring the disguise of the chief surgeon, and then finally interacting with the operating console will start a game of Hitmine, a parody of Minesweeper. Winning the game will cause the chip-tune version of Ave Maria to play, then an explosive rubber duck will fall on Soders and another one will fall near him, followed by a large explosion in the operating theater, killing Soders and the nearby nurse.
- KAI was inspired by HAL 9000 from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, and will also sing part of The Blue Danube Waltz when she is sabotaged.
- If 47 approaches the room where a guard is doing pushups while being disguised as a bodyguard himself, he can do pushups as well, outcompeting the guard with ease. If he then sabotages KAI and returns back to the push-up room, a trapped AI, Ayakashi, will appear. He will claim that he is better than KAI, and that KAI is a Nazi, and ask 47 to free him. Ayakashi can be freed by escorting him to the snowmobile exit. Returning to KAI after freeing Ayakashi will reveal the relationship between KAI and Ayakashi.
- If 47 Approaches Soders in the default suit he will be able to reveal his identity to Soders, causing him to have a heart attack and die.
- There are 10 Mini Ninjas statues scattered on the map. Destroying them will cause a volcano to erupt.
- The sauna presents a unique opportunity in the game in that it is a damaging environment that is not poisonous in nature. Anybody knocked out inside the overheated sauna will eventually die. These are considered accidental deaths, but when creating contracts in Contracts Mode the cause of death is not specified for the targets who have been killed this way, and thus the player cannot set a kill condition for them.
- There is an occasional glitch when starting in the morgue disguised as a corpse where 47's body sits upright on the gurney but does not leave the hiding spot, which understandably alarms the morgue doctors. This can occur if the player manipulates the controls as the level is starting but before the player can take control of 47.
- There was originally meant to be a third Elusive Target in Hokkaido, entitled The Rogue. However, due to Square Enix severing ties with IO Interactive in 2017 and the funding subsequently lost, it was re-purposed to be a fully-fledged mission in the Patient Zero bonus campaign in the GOTY edition of HITMAN™, entitled Patient Zero; however, it was altered.
