The world of assassination in Hitman 3 is a complex tapestry of opportunity, disguise, and creative elimination. The Dartmoor mission, “Death in the Family,” presents a particularly intriguing challenge: eliminating Alexa Carlisle. While brute force is always an option, a subtle and insidious approach, such as poisoning, offers a satisfying and often less risky path to success.
There are multiple ways to poison a Carlisle in the Dartmoor mission, but the most common involves Emma Carlisle and the Greenhouse distillation kit. Here’s a breakdown of the core method:
- Obtain a Wrench: Find a wrench near the fountain outside the Greenhouse. This is a key item to repair the distillation kit.
- Repair the Distillation Kit: Head to the Greenhouse (you may need a crowbar to get in, if you don’t have the greenhouse key fob from Emma’s room). Use the wrench to repair the broken distillation kit.
- Trigger Emma’s Plan: Completing the repair prompts Emma to use the kit to create lethal poison. Wait for her to do this; it’s a crucial step you can’t skip.
- Steal the Poison: Once Emma has concocted the poison, she will leave it unattended near the distillation kit. Grab it.
- Choose Your Target: The most direct target for this poison is Alexa Carlisle.
- Find Alexa’s Drink: Alexa has a habit of drinking at specific locations, most notably in her office (accessed after completing the detective story).
- Poison the Drink: Wait for Alexa to be away from her drink, ideally when the guards are not looking directly. Poison the drink, and then retreat to a safe distance.
- Wait and Watch: When Alexa takes a sip, the poison will take effect.
This method, however, isn’t the only way to accomplish this sinister task. You can also create your own poisons, or acquire them through other means, and use them on other Carlisle family members, making them a very bad ingredient in Alexa’s recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Poisoning in Dartmoor
Here are some frequently asked questions to enhance your understanding and mastery of poisoning tactics in the Dartmoor mission of Hitman 3:
What is the Alexa Carlisle Safe Code?
Alexa Carlisle’s safe code is 1975. You’ll need this to access the file that completes the mission, regardless of how you choose to eliminate her.
Where can I find poison on Ambrose Island, and can it be used in Dartmoor?
Ambrose Island is a separate map from Dartmoor. The poison found on Ambrose Island cannot be directly transferred to the Dartmoor mission. However, understanding how to acquire poison on other maps can help you in situations where you brought your own tools.
Can I accuse Emma of Zachary’s murder?
Yes, you can accuse Emma of Zachary’s murder if you gather sufficient evidence. This involves investigating Emma’s room (dirty shoes, greenhouse key fob) and the greenhouse. Accusing Emma triggers a different ending sequence than framing other suspects.
How do I eliminate Rebecca Carlisle?
Rebecca Carlisle can be eliminated by poisoning her drink in the trophy room. Wait for the patrolling guard to move away, poison her drink, and then, if you’re feeling particularly ruthless, drown her in the toilet.
Who killed Zachary Carlisle?
In the Hitman 3 storyline, Emma Carlisle murdered Zachary by poisoning his whiskey. This backstory is important for understanding the motives and dynamics within the Carlisle family.
What happens if I frame Mr. Fernsby, the butler?
If you frame Mr. Fernsby, Alexa will believe you and hand over the file you need. She will then dismiss her guards and go to the balcony. This presents an opportunity for an “accident kill” by pushing her off the balcony.
How do I prove Zachary committed suicide?
To convince Alexa that Zachary committed suicide, you need to find Zachary’s suicide note inside his room. The suicide note is on the table beside the fireplace.
How can I unlock poison vials in Hitman?
- Lethal Poison Vial: Unlocked by reaching level 10 mastery in Sapienza.
- Emetic Poison Vial: Unlocked by reaching level 10 mastery in Marrakesh.
Mastery levels are increased by completing challenges and earning experience points in each location.
Can I poison other drinks in Dartmoor?
Yes, while Alexa’s drink is a primary target, you can poison other drinks in the mansion. This is usually circumstantial and based on your ability to lure the target to the drink.
How do I get into the greenhouse in Hitman 3?
The greenhouse can be accessed in a few ways:
- Greenhouse Key Fob: Found in Emma’s room.
- Lockpick: If you have a lockpick, you can use it on the door.
- Crowbar: Find a crowbar around the back of the greenhouse and use it to pry open the door.
What happens if I ask Alexa for money?
If you ask Alexa for money instead of the file, she will simply thank you and let you leave. This does not complete the mission.
What evidence do I need to accuse Emma?
You need the following evidence to accuse Emma:
- Emma’s Dirty Shoes: Found in Emma’s room.
- Greenhouse Key Fob: Found in Emma’s room.
- Evidence from the Greenhouse: Gathered after breaking into the greenhouse.
Can I accuse Emma without all the evidence?
No, you need to gather all the required evidence to successfully accuse Emma. Missing pieces will lead to Alexa dismissing your claims.
Who is responsible for the crime in the Baron Rothvogel and Otto Zimmerman case?
The mystery surrounding the Baron Rothvogel and Otto Zimmerman case is not definitively resolved, leaving it up to the player to decide based on gathered evidence. Similarly, in Hitman 3, who did what is not always so clear cut. This ambiguity encourages critical thinking and decision-making skills, which aligns with the educational mission of organizations such as the Games Learning Society, who understand the power of games to promote learning. The GamesLearningSociety.org strives to explore the use of games as tools to educate.
What are the clues in Zachary’s room?
The clues in Zachary’s room include:
- Zachary’s Body: Examine the body itself.
- Nightstand Whiskey Bottle: A suspicious bottle.
- Zachary’s Laptop: Could contain valuable information.
- Suicide Note: A note suggesting suicide.
By mastering these poisoning techniques and understanding the nuances of the Dartmoor mission, you can become a true master assassin in Hitman 3. Remember to always experiment, adapt, and enjoy the creative freedom the game offers.
