Viktor Novikovcan be eliminated in many ways.
Details about it can be found in descriptions of specific assassinations.
Important- The main objectives (Viktor Novikov and Dalia Margolis) can be eliminated in any order.
In some cases you’re free to eliminate both of them with a single action.
These “two in one” assassination methods are described on a separate page of the walkthrough.
Luckily, you’re able to get rid of the guard.
Once you reach the destination, find theEmetic Rat Poisonand take one piece of it.
Novikov should occasionally walk into the catering room and whine on his employees.
Memorize the plate from which the guard is taking the food (it is shown on the picture).
Once both men leave the room, add the poison to that plate.
However, it isn’t a mandatory step).
Now it’s possible for you to follow Novikov and wait for a good time to eliminate him.
A perfect place for murdering him is the corridor at the back of the catwalk.
There is no one there and the only staff member is standing with his back turned on him.
Novikovcan be murdered by using the regular pistol with a suppressor.
For obvious reasons, it shouldn’t be done without any proper preparations.
Wait patiently until the fashion show ends.
Once that happens, Novikov will walk on the scene to get to make a speech.
Important - Reaching the balconies on floor 2 means that Agent 47 will be recorded by security cameras.
When that happens, quickly find the handle that allows dropping the chandelier that is above the mission target.
It won’t cause mission failure, but your final score will be lower.
You should obtain the event crew disguise, but it isn’t mandatory.
In addition to that, you must obtain one of thescrewdrivers.
Another one is next to a small building in the southwestern part of the gardens(M3,12).
Walk towards the nearby electric socket and unplug it.
Only after that you should go towards the extension cord and use the previously obtained screwdriver on it.
This will uncover the power wire - you must dip it in a small slop.
Go back to the socket, but DON’T plug it back.
You must wait for Novikov to come, otherwise some bystander could be killed with the electricity.
Turn the power on when Viktor get closes to the broken extension cord.
Walk away immediately after as Novikov’s accident will cause a ruckus.
This assassination attempt requires some preparations.
Try obtaining the event crew disguise.
You will also need acrowbar.
This item is quite commonly found.
Go in the disguise to the second floor of the palace.
Take interest in the speaker in the northeastern corner of the balconies(M3,17).
Quickly get away from the accident place as it will cause some ruckus.
Sadly, this method doesn’t guarantee that no bystanders die because of the speaker fall.
Start by reaching the basement (floor 0 of the palace).
Go to the locker-room and find the palace staff disguise(M3,6)which you must wear.
Explore the western part of the basement.
Look at it - Agent 47 will automatically learn the recipe.
The next step is obtaining theemetic rat poison.
Find a free position where Agent 47 can stand in the staff disguise(M3,4).
Once it is done, add the previously obtained poison to the cocktail.
This option allows murdering Novikov during a private meeting in the gardens.
First go to the northern terrace of the mansion and findDecker (M3,1).
Listen to the telephone conversation from which you will learn that Decker is waiting for a meeting with Novikov.
You must lead Decker to the location of the meeting.
It can be done after wearing proper disguise.
More specifically you must wear the CICADA Bodyguard disguise.
Wait for your target to be alone, quickly stun him and hide his body in the container.
Then wear the new disguise.
Go back to Decker after wearing the bodyguard disguise and initiate a conversation with him.
Ask him to follow you.
The destination is the gazebo in the southwestern corner of the gardens(M3,2).
Wait for Decker to reach the gazebo.
He will call Novikov and convince him to come to the meeting place.
It will take some time forViktorto reach the gardens.
you could use that time to select an elimination method.
One of the methods is to sabotage any of the gas lamps near the gazebo.
The explosion will happen automatically after too much of gas volatilize.
you might also initiate the explosion on your own with a single pistol shot aimed at the damaged lamp.
Agent 47 would be immediately discovered.
In that case you could go to one of the balconies on floor 3 of the palace.
From there you will have an excellent view on the gazebo(M3,21).
Look into the room in the northeastern corner of the building(M3,5).
There you will find a female blogger who wants to have an interview with Novikov.
Listen to her complains - you will learn that she needs lens for her camera.
Check the parking north from the blogger location(M3,15).
Don’t go back directly to the blogger.
You must reach the part of the attic with the hardware that allows monitoring the action(M3,9).
Find the explosive there.
Go back to the female blogger.
If you have the remote explosive, plant it in the camera on the table.
Then give the previously stolen lens to the blogger.
The woman will contactNovikovand will wait for meeting him near the fountain outside the building(M3,6).
Be patient as it might take some time for Viktor to get there.
you could detonate the explosive from safe distance once the interview starts.
This option is most impressive, but using it might lead to death of many innocents.
First obtain a good disguise, for example from a body guard.
You must also obtain acrowbar.
Now you must go towards the attic on floor 3 of the palace(M3,31).
The place where you perform the sabotage is shown on the above picture.
What’s important, DON’T USE the crowbar immediately after you reach the destination.
Now you must patiently wait for the fashion show on floor 1(M3,21)to end.
Now you’re free to use the crowbar to drop the platform on the scene.
It will spectacularly kill Novikov and all nearby people.
