Trivia

• The sun is in northern side of map, which is impossible in real life.
• The church is named after St. Gontran. He is the patron saint of divorced people, guardians, and repentant murderers.
• The church has the Hitman Insignia on the small round stained glass window.
• The scarecrow's head will follow the player if they walk near it. The reason for this is that the scarecrow uses the default NPC AI.
• If you strangle the scarecrow with fiber wire from a 45 degree slope, it will bounce up and fall to the ground, as if 47 really strangled it.
• The scarecrow wears the clothes of Ivan Zilvanovitch from Hitman: Codename 47.
• This is the first mission, and the first time in the entire series where Diana's voice is heard.
• This level's beta name was simply Training.
• Vittorio is impervious against firearm damage. As with most VIPs, if the player does somehow manage to kill Vittorio, the mission will fail.
• Vittorio can be knocked out using Anaesthetic, which will not fail the mission. In his knocked out state, he can be killed very easily.

Confession transcript

A transcript of Agent 47 confessing his sins to Father Vittorio:

CONFESSION BOOTH, CHURCH OF THE HOLY SAINTS, DAY

47: "Padre.. I have sinned."

Padre: "Continue, my son."

47: "I have done some terrible things in my life."

47, CONT'D: "I... I have killed... Many people. For money - out of ignorance - out of evil - out of hatred.."

Padre: "Mi figlio - I know you well. You are also a good person - I have seen you taking care of the garden. I know of the large amount of money you donated to the church. Your soul is on the right path..."

47: "But Father... I do not belong. I'm not of this world. So why should God forgive me?"

Padre: "Do not worry, my son. When your time comes, He will have a place for you as well. Just keep God in your heart - Now I must leave. Stay a while, and pray."

47: "Lead me, O heavenly Father, in the path of right. I walk alone and stumble in the dark. Show me the light, and I'll go there. Let me find peace in my own heart and save me from my enemies."

The scarecrow can be used for trainning like the dummy in Codename 47.

Agent 47 pulls the scarecrow down.

The scarecrow goes all the way down and stands up like a spring.
