tips on stealth?

[al3x]

never really played the first two hitman games and i just started playing hitman 3 but is it possible to hide the bodies?(splinter cell style). everytime i take someone out, i tried to drag their bodies to a darken place but later on i still seem to get a message saying a body has been found, and then everyone is after me. so my question is it possible to hide the bodies or maybe im just not hiding them good enuff. also does running affect your cover being blown, how about the weapon(s) that you have out?

any tips/help to go through a level without my cover being blown? during first few missions, i found myself having to go through the level max payne style.

Hide the bodies better. Sometimes if a character is supposed to be in a room their buddy's will search the WHOLE room. Try to hide them behind furnature on their patrol path(ie. the couch in rotterdam) and they won't be found. Also, try not to kill if you don't have to, and never anyone but a guard. Tranquilizing them is preferable but then you have a limited amount of time to find some new clothes or finish the mission before they wake up. I have SA on all the missions, most without ANY detection at all.

[EDIT]When you tranquilize someone try to make it the most isolated person from a/another guard, and on the furthest point of their path. They have to reach a guard to alert them their clothes are missing. This tip helped me a lot with a outside guard in Beldingford Manor.

Yeah automatic is right. Nomatter how dark the place it doesn't matter the guards will see the bodies. Keep them from the patrol paths or completely out of sight. Make sure you're not using the syringe cuz that doesn't kill only knock them out for a good while.

Better yet, i dont even use the syringe until i know im almost done with a map. For example, when near the stable on Beldingford, but never before. THat way, youre long gone before the guy even wakes up.

Ok, let's see here:

The syringe gives you a limited amount of time before the target wakes up, as has already been mentioned. The body can be discovered in the meantime, so hide it well. If you KO them with the syringe, but don't take their clothes, they don't seem to run alert anyone when they wake up.

When in disguise, watch your actions and your shown weapons. Most disguises have a weapon that goes with it. You can walk around with that weapon out, but carry the wrong weapon out and you will be blown almost instantly.

Running WILL raise suspicion in guards. Run only when you have to while in disguise.

On the same subject, getting close to a guard while disguised will raise his suspicion. Sometimes it's not avoidable, but don't dally. Try to minimize the time you are near the guard.

Some people are only supposed to be in certain areas. If you are disguised, for example, as an outside guard, your cover will be blown if you are seen inside by an inside guard. You'll learn this by trial and error, unfortunately.

Use sneak mode when you can. People will turn to look at you when they can hear you. Some guards will even follow you when they notice you. It is sometimes necessary to put on a quick burst of run speed to open the distance, so they go away.

If you are trying for Silent Assassin rankings, you are only allowed one kill on a non-target. Try to plan accordingly. You cannot kill any innocents and get SA.
