Orchestrating a Rendezvous: How to Get Hush and Royce to Meet in Hitman 3

The most direct way to get Hush and Imogen Royce to meet in Hitman 3, specifically in the Chongqing mission, is to follow the All-Seeing Eyes mission story. This storyline culminates in a rooftop confrontation where the two targets are positioned close enough together for a single, well-placed sniper shot.

The All-Seeing Eyes Mission Story: A Step-by-Step Guide

The All-Seeing Eyes mission story is your ticket to witnessing this face-off. It involves manipulating events to force both Royce and Hush to a specific location on the rooftop. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Gaining Access to the ICA Facility and Royce’s Confidence

Initially, Agent 47 must find a way inside the ICA Facility. A common approach is to impersonate a test subject or infiltrate the facility using one of the many entry points. Once inside, you’ll need to get close to Imogen Royce. The best way to do this is to join the ICA tour and progress through it until Royce takes over.

2. Influencing Royce’s Actions

After Royce leads the tour, follow her instructions and listen carefully to her dialogue. She is looking for someone to blame in the internal ICA investigation. To get her to fire key personal, which enables the cleansing of the data core. She may order that Alicia and Jeremy be fired. By firing the correct individual, Imogen will then head into the Data Core. However, our ultimate goal is to get her to the rooftop!

3. Manipulating Hush: The Antenna and the Rooftop

The pivotal part of this operation involves manipulating Hush. He is located in the eastern part of the map, in the apartment complex. To lure Hush to the rooftop, you need to interact with the antenna. The antenna can be found on the Northeastern Rooftop behind a locked gate. Use a crowbar to unlock it. Interacting with the antenna will trigger a sequence of events that make him believe his network is compromised.

4. Positioning for the Elimination

Once both targets are on the rooftop, they will engage in a conversation. The key is patience. Wait for them to be positioned with their bodies closely aligned, creating the perfect opportunity for a single bullet, double kill. A sniper rifle with penetration capabilities is highly recommended for this task. The lotus passage, the walkway above the giant neon lotus flower is also a good spot.

5. The Final Shot

With careful timing and precise aim, eliminate both Hush and Royce with a single bullet. This is the most efficient and visually satisfying way to complete the All-Seeing Eyes mission story.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I get Hush and Royce to meet without following the All-Seeing Eyes mission story?

While technically possible through complex manipulation of AI behavior, it’s extremely difficult and unreliable. The All-Seeing Eyes mission story is designed to reliably bring them together.

2. What sniper rifle is best for this mission?

Any sniper rifle with penetration capabilities is ideal. This ensures the bullet can pass through one target and hit the other.

3. Where can I find a sniper rifle in Chongqing?

A sniper rifle can be acquired by bringing one in via a pre-mission loadout, or by unlocking the sniper rifle location at the train tracks.

4. Is there a specific time frame when Hush and Royce will be on the rooftop?

Yes, the timing is dictated by the events within the All-Seeing Eyes mission story. Progressing through the steps correctly will trigger their arrival on the rooftop.

5. What if I accidentally kill one target before the other arrives?

If you kill one target prematurely, you’ll need to find another way to eliminate the remaining target, which could involve additional challenges and complications. Reloading a previous save is often the best option.

6. Can I use a different method to kill them both at the same time?

Yes, technically, you could use an explosive or environmental hazard, but the sniper rifle method is the most elegant and satisfying, and directly fulfills the challenge requirements.

7. What disguise is recommended for this mission?

There isn’t a single recommended disguise. Choose disguises that allow you access to key areas of the ICA Facility and the apartment complex.

8. How do I avoid being detected while setting up the shot?

Utilize the environment to your advantage. Stay in cover, observe guard patterns, and use distractions to create openings. A silenced weapon can also be helpful.

9. What are the key items I need for this mission?

A sniper rifle, a crowbar (for the antenna), and potentially a silenced pistol for distractions or close-quarters encounters.

10. What is the significance of the lotus passage?

The lotus passage, the walkway above the giant neon lotus flower, provides an elevated vantage point with a clear line of sight to the rooftop where Hush and Royce meet, making it an ideal location for the sniper shot.

11. Are there any challenges associated with eliminating Hush and Royce with a single bullet?

Yes, there is a specific challenge called “One Shot, Two Kills” that requires you to eliminate both targets with a single bullet. This unlocks additional rewards.

12. What happens if I alert Hush or Royce before they reach the rooftop?

Alerting either target can disrupt the All-Seeing Eyes mission story and potentially prevent them from meeting on the rooftop. It’s best to remain undetected throughout the process.

13. Is there a way to sabotage the meeting between Hush and Royce?

Yes, you can intentionally disrupt the events leading up to the meeting, preventing them from reaching the rooftop. However, this will require you to find alternative methods of elimination.

14. What other mission stories are available in the Chongqing level?

The Chongqing level features multiple mission stories, including “Impulse Control” (focused on Hush) and “Certainty Principle” (focused on Royce). Exploring these can provide valuable intel and opportunities.

15. Where can I learn more about Hitman 3 strategies and gameplay mechanics?

Websites dedicated to gaming guides, walkthroughs, and community forums are excellent resources. Educational organizations such as the Games Learning Society, found at GamesLearningSociety.org, also explore the strategic and problem-solving aspects of games like Hitman 3.

Can you accuse Emma in Hitman 3?

In order to get the evidence required to accuse Emma, you’ll need to get evidence from each easily-accessible room, including Emma’s dirty shoes and greenhouse key fob in her room, but then take a trip out to the greenhouse.

What is the code for Hush in Hitman 3 end of an era?

At the base of Hush’s building you’ll find an Arcade in the corner, and in the rear room is a keypad door to take a back route to the upper floors. The code is also 2552 – evidently Hush’s security is as good as the ICA’s.

How do you burn Imogen Royce?

When she leaves, fire Alicia first, then Jeremy next. Once Imogen heads back into the core (you can see her on the bottom right screen), fire Sharon. She’ll flip a switch to cleanse the core, but with security measures out because of Alicia, it’ll fry Imogen.

By carefully following the All-Seeing Eyes mission story and utilizing the strategies outlined above, you can successfully orchestrate a meeting between Hush and Imogen Royce and achieve the ultimate goal: eliminating both targets with a single, decisive shot. Good luck, Agent.
