Hitman 3: Mendoza -- The Farewell assassination challenges guide

Hitman 3's Mendoza/The Farewell level has a plethora of challenges that you can complete as you're progressing through the mission stories. However, a few others tend to be out of the way or aren't related to these tasks at all. Examples include "The Orator," "Domestic Disturbance," "Notes of Hemlock," and more. These are what we'll focus on in this guide. Note: For more information, check out our Hitman 3 Mendoza/The Farewell guide, as well as our guides and features hub. Likewise, please be reminded that this guide contains spoilers. Hitman 3: Mendoza - The remaining challenges for The Farewell mission I've split up this Hitman 3 Mendoza challenges guide into multiple parts since a few challenges are related to one another. You can refer to the pages below: Shortcuts, escape points, and QR codes Notes of Hemlock The Famous Llosa Brothers, Asador, and The Orator Pencil Pusher and Get Rid of the Body Domestic Disturbance and Scandal Shortcuts, escape points, and QR Codes First, let's discuss the shortcuts, escape points, and QR codes in Hitman 3's Mendoza level. Shortcuts will make exploring Hitman 3's Mendoza level a breeze. But, first, you'll need to get the villa basement key from Archibald Yates' bedroom. This allows you to open a door in the living room that leads to the basement. Shortcut: Maintenance Door - The first shortcut at the southern corner leads to a maintenance corridor. At the far end is the yard where people are eating yummy asado. Shortcut: Cellar Door - The next shortcut is found at the northeast corner of the basement. It leads to the villa's garden. Shortcut: Backdoor - If you follow the villa's pathway through a hidden cave system, you'll eventually reach a cliffside path. The shortcut here opens up to the reception hall and wine tasting room. As for the escape points, some will require you to find keys first: One Last Tango - Go to the dance floor and tango with Diana Burnwood. This escape point is unlocked by default. Into The Sunset - This one is all the way at the edge of the grape fields. The Cave - You need to enter the locker room of the mercenaries to pick up the Tactical Diving Suit. This lets you dive down the waters of the cave. Grand Theft Auto - Grab the keys to Yates' car in his bedroom. Then, find his car in the villa's front yard. Lago Lurker - This is all the way at the northwestern section of the map. Enter the shed next to the boat to find the key. You'll also spot some tools such as a crowbar, screwdriver, and the like. QR Codes QR Codes are scattered all around the facility. You can watch the video below from YouTuber Trophygamers (seen below). Anyway, let's talk about the Tamara Vidal and the "Notes of Hemlock" assassination challenge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vwkVXft_bz3M Tamara Vidal gets offered poisoned wine As far as I know, you can only do this if you rerun the level and start from the tasting room (Agent 47 will be dressed as a waiter). Ideally, you should bring a vial of lethal poison with you. It can be unlocked by reaching mastery rank 10 in Berlin/Apex Predator. "Notes of Hemlock" assassination challenge - Anyway, as soon as the run begins, head to the staff room to Agent 47's right. You'll find the bottle of Pinot Noir here. Return to your original spot and place the bottle there. You should get the prompt to serve Pinot Noir to Tamara Vidal once she and Diana Burnwood arrive. Don't forget to add lethal poison into your concoction. To clarify, the other sources of lethal poison have been discussed in our guides for The Tour and Closing Statement mission stories. However, trying to get these might take you a while and Vidal would've already left the wine tasting area. Likewise, if you don't have "Hold My Hair" yet, go add emetic poison instead. Follow Vidal to the bathroom and drown her there. Okay, let's talk about some asado cooking and electrocuting Archibald Yates. Archibald Yates gives a shocking speech Ideally, you should do this after taking out Vidal with poison since the starting location's fairly close. Head to the asado party and listen to the conversation between the Llosa brothers. It seems they need to find a torch to light the asado. Oh, and check out that mic stand in the center of the area too. For now, follow one of the Llosa brothers as he goes to the villa. If you're dressed as a waiter, you should be allowed to the front yard. The Llosa brother will end up talking to the two staffers for a long while which means you can just grab the torch behind the van. Note 1: Just bash him in the head and take his outfit to complete a discovery challenge, then reload your save. Note 2: Another reason why you want to save here is that you're at the villa already. You can complete a few other assassination challenges later after reloading. Return to the asado area and light the meat using the torch to get "Asador" done. The other chef will then call Archibald Yates. Before Yates arrives (he'll take a minute or two), go to the cinema one level below. Grab the Bronson MD-2 mic from the crate. Note: If you want to try other kill types (poison or drowning), you can take the emetic and lethal poisons from the room under the staircase. These poisons can be added to Yates' wineglass or asado. "The Orator" assassination challenge - Back at the asado party, replace the mic with the Bronson that you just found. Then, activate the nearby switch to overload it. Yates will arrive and make a "shocking" speech the moment he touches the mic. The hilarious part about this is that mic electrocution was how you killed one of your targets, Jordan Cross, in the 2016 Hitman game. In Hitman 3, take a look at the two guests who are watching Yates meet the same end: it's Heidi Santoro and Dexy Barat, Cross' bandmate and manager respectively. Anyway, let's talk about eliminating Yates with a pen and via the garden shredder. Archibald Yates has something in his eye Make your way to Archibald Yates' villa so we can complete these challenges. If you want to do this during the previous run (the one where we poisoned Vidal), you should still be wearing the waiter's outfit. Heck, I'd just reload the save where you followed the asado chef. "Pencil Pusher" assassination challenge - While you're at the villa, you should notice the lawyer arriving with a mercenary guard. Wait for the two of them to enter the villa's guest room, then enter it from the side window. Subdue the merc and take his clothes while the lawyer's busy with his work. Next, grab the papers on the lawyer's desk and place them on the other desk that's in the room. You'll notice that the desk also has a very pointy pen. Yates will enter the room and his bodyguards will just pass by. Hold "G" to give Yates your report. Once he examines the paperwork on the desk, hold "X" behind him to impale his eye on the pen. That's gotta hurt. "Get Rid of the Body" assassination challenge - Instead of poking out Yates' eye, just incapacitate him. Carry his body and dump it outside the window. Hop outside and you'll notice that the garden shredder is close by. Dump his body inside and hold "G" to turn him into mulch. All right, let's talk about Yates' wife confronting him for the "Domestic Disturbance" assassination challenge. An argument leads to murder Remember what I said about having access to the villa's basement? Well, we have to go there. "Scandal" feats challenge - Check the basement's wall for a safe. The passcode is "2006." It's based on the Crystal Anniversary of the couple (which you'll discover from a calendar/intel in Yates' bedroom). A Crystal Anniversary is 15 years of marriage. Since it's 2021 now, it means the two were married in 2006. Anyway, grab the file to complete the challenge. "Domestic Disturbance" assassination challenge - Look for Valentina Yates who might be in the bedroom or roaming around the garden. Give the file to her while she's not talking to anyone. Note: If she and Archibald are conversing, let the entire process play out. Attempting to give the file to her now might break the script. Doña Yates examines the file once she reaches the bedroom. She can't believe it! Her husband was the one who ruined her career! She'll go to the balcony. Now, you'll just need to wait for her husband to arrive. The two will begin arguing and, in a moment of frustration, Valentina will push her husband off the balcony. Yates will end up dead. Your target was killed by proxy.
