There is no walkthrough article for this challenge. Lend a hand and write one.

Starting Locations are a game mechanic that serves as entrance points of every mission, introduced in the World of Assassination trilogy.

Overview

Selected during Mission Planning, most missions featured in HITMAN™, HITMAN™ 2, and HITMAN™ III allow the player to begin the mission from different positions of the map, and commonly with a disguise already obtained.

Each mission initially offers one default Starting Location, with most allowing the player to unlock additional ones as the player gains Mastery within the specific location the mission is set in. When starting in a disguise, the player will frequently start at a Blend In point performing an activity consistent with that disguise.

Below is a full list of all starting locations.

Trivia

• Certain starting locations, such as Chawls from Chasing a Ghost, alter item placement within the mission. In the prior example, the Kashmirian's Laptop Dongle will be placed next to Agent 47 instead of its usual spot.
• The Office starting location from Nightcall is currently the only starting location which will complete a mission objective by default.
• The Ninja disguise featured in Hokkaido is the only disguise available exclusively through the use of a specific starting location (in HITMAN™ III, not counting most default location disguises, e.g. the glove-less Tuxedo or Italian Suit).
• Untouchable is the only field mission into which no items can be smuggled and no starting disguises or starting suits can be selected, although the two training missions also share this trait.
• 6 starting locations had their prerequisite Mastery Level changed between HITMAN™ 2 and HITMAN™ III; this was because the maximum Mastery Level for Whittleton Creek and New York were increased from 15 in HITMAN™ 2, to 20 in HITMAN™ III.
  • The only exceptions to this are the Palace Garden in Paris, which was notably the only prerequisite changed between HITMAN™ and HITMAN™ 2, which seemed to be an oversight as HITMAN™ III reverted this change, and the Restaurant Kitchen in Haven Island, although this may be another oversight.
