Continuing my series, Here's my notes on this level. Since the initial method is basically a total copy of the Prima Strategy Guide, I promise to also add a fun little alternative. Feel free to pitch in your own ideas.

Guide 1.

From the beginning, go to the coat check to get the WW1 pistol, then wait near the door to the basement. Eventually a worker in a white overall comes out, tells someone else to fix the toilets, then heads into the basement. Swing the camera round to make sure no-one's looking, then following at a safe distance, follow him into the basement. While he's banging away at the scenery, knock him out with a syringe, and dispose of him in the nearby crate.

Head through the double door, and turn left. Pick the lock on the door at the bottom of the room and head down the stairs. Check the keyhole to make sure the guard's walking away, then head through the door. Follow at a safe distance and take the first door on the right. Head up the stairs and into the backstage area. Take a left, then another left through the door. Head upstairs, ignoring the worker and the security guard, and follow the corridor to the office at the end. Take the light room keycard and head back to the backstage area.

Follow the corridor until you come to the big double doors on the right hand side of the corridor. This allows you access to the catwalk above the stage. Head through the door on the opposite side, and bomb the winch on the chandelier, being careful you aren't seen.

Head back to the backstage area, and wait for the security guard in the hall to go for a leak. Go into the execution actor's changing room and hide in the closet. Eventually he comes to take a break. When he goes for a leak, switch the real WW1 pistol for the prop, holster it and, using third person camera from the side of the door, check for when the security guard leaves his post and leave the changing room.

Retrace your steps to where you changed your suit, change back into it, and head back into the main foyer. From here, head up to the second floor and look for the keycard locked door. Making sure no-one sees you, enter the lighting room. From here, watch the action unfold. Eventually Alvaro gets shot (That's what I call method acting!) and Delahunt rushes to the stage, tripping under the chandelier. At this point, detonate the mine crushing him. From here, stroll out the front door.:thumbsup:

Stats:- 3/4 accidents (cops get caught under the chandelier too)
Fines:- $0

Method 2

For a fun alternative, bomb the lightbar as opposed to the chandelier, and turn off the light in the actor's changing room before entering the closet. When he heads to the lightswitch, quickly grab him and knock him out. Take his clothes and head to thew stage when the bell rings. Stand on the cross facing Alvaro. When the first high note is hit, pull out the WW1 pistol, and on the second, shoot him in the head. When the music stops, step off the stage and wait for Delahunt to access the stage. Detonate the mine, and watch as he gets crushed.

The disadvantage is you have to leave your suit behind, but it's darkly satisfying to set up a set of circumstances where you can shoot one of your targets at point blank range in a crowded theatre with no-one suspecting anything's wrong! :lmao:
