Temple City Ambush is the 17th mission in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, and is set in India. It is the first of a three-part mission, culminating in the hit on the leaders of a sacred cult based in India.

Target(s): Assassins (x2)

Briefing[]

47 — this is Agency, Diana speaking.

Your mission is to gain access to the sacred cult through a secret passage from behind one of the shops.

Our client was doublecrossed in Afghanistan — that chopper plus cargo was stolen by this cult. And now he wants you to retrieve it.

We have some information that a couple of thugs are on the prowl inside looking for suspicious foreigner — so check your map and watch your step.

You'll find your contact inside in the "International Parcel Service". He will have more info on your mission.

Be careful, 47 — rumor has it there's a very powerful foe lurking in the shadows somewhere close to the cult leader, wherever he is.

47, I repeat — dodge the assassins, find your contact, and he'll brief you on further mission details.

Trivia[]

  • Only two of the assassins are required to be eliminated to complete the mission.
  • During this mission's briefing, Diana informs Agent 47 about a powerful, shadowy foe, who guards Cult leader. This is a reference to Agent 17, who is encountered in later missions, and is also a cloned assassin.
    • Agent 17 can also be seen in the "Hijack" video that comes along with the briefing, which depicts him strangling a Russian guard who was holding Indian cult members at gunpoint.
  • This is the second mission in the game that features female guards, the first being The Jacuzzi Job.
  • Despite being targets, four of the assassins appear as enemies (orange points) on the map instead of targets (red), and are invisible on Professional difficulty. One appears as a civilian (green), and will count as an innocent if killed unless provoked into pulling out his weapon.
  • 47 can run freely with all the disguises without arousing any suspicion.
  • The cult disguise does not allow 47 to carry weapons even if the cult members do.
  • Due to a controversy regarding the depiction of the Harmandir Sahib, the Sikhs' most holy site, this level and all the others set in India were altered in version 1.02 of the game. Graphics depicting Indian Gods and all references to Sikhism were removed.
    • Additionally, on this level, a racial slur was edited out from Agent Smith's dialogue, all the female cult members were deleted from the map and the New York Yankees logo from the blue hat assassin's cap was removed.
