Hitman 3 - Mendoza: The Farewell - The Classics, No Pacifications Guide (Master)

A Suit-Only, Silent Assassin, and Sniper Assassin walkthrough of the primary Mendoza mission, The Farewell, performed on Master difficulty. I built this route to secure all of The Classics challenges in one run, with the most stress-free and reliable strategy I could find (the MOST stress-free strategy, which can still be kind of stressful. ._.) I also wanted to make the route as adaptable as possible, and to help that I don't bring any equipment except for the Sniper Rifle, itself. The route itself can be changed to fit anyone's playstyle and made faster/easier by bringing different loadouts, but the challenges can be done reliably and comfortably without even needing the default items. The route has a lot of waiting, between waiting for Don to enter the Villa and speaking with Diana 3 times, but everything is simple and fairly fool-proof. I had tried to get a No Pacifications run where I grind up Don's body and dump Tamara's off of a balcony, to leave no bodies on the map at all, but it just didn't work out. The route to grind Don's body depended a Lot on the timing of the patrolling guards and added almost 4 minutes to the run, and the railing I wanted to dump Tamara over doesn't actually overlook a cliff or anything, so you can see Tamara's body about 2 feet below the balcony after dumping her. But if you're going for The Classics and want a smooth-sailing, no pacifications method, this route is super, super reliable. You can speak with Diana to set up the Tamara kill at literally any point, so as long as you take out Don before the lawyer gets to the villa, you're golden. Since you can't speak with Diana the first time until about 4:15, it's faster overall to take Don out as early as possible so you can take your time with Tamara. Just be patient. And I would definitely save right when Tamara starts escorting you, just in case something goes wrong grabbing the pistol or baiting Tamara under the cinema stairs. Not only does it let you re-do everything for Tamara's set-up (so you can't save-screw yourself), but it also skips the waiting, talking, and waiting.
