Death of a Showman

In this first training level, Agent 47 takes vengeance on a corrupt carnival owner amidst the ruins of a crumbling amusement park.

No Help Required
Little help is needed with this first level as the game offers walkthrough tips each step of the way. It's important that you pay close attention to the in-game tips offered, especially if you're a novice assassin. After this first level, the game will offer no such help, but the suggestions during Death of a Showman will clue you in on how to handle the forthcoming challenges throughout the game.

Moments of Confusion
While this first level is pretty straightforward, there are couple mild sticking points. Keep the following in mind for smooth sailing:

After taking the chemist's suit, it's easy to see the wandering guards as a threat, but so disguised, they won't bother you. Just keep walking and you'll be fine.

Once you bust the utility box and kill the power, the next room is filled with enemies. Pull the left trigger and sneak past the lot of them. There's no need to attack a single one.

Spotting all three guards you need to snipe near the end of the level can be a bit tough. Here's where to find them:

• Patrolling the ground just beneath you.
• Standing high up on the Ferris wheel.
• Standing on the rooftop just across from you.

When you come across the gangster and the receptionist shooting the breeze, stay out of the way until their conversation is finished. Once the receptionist heads back to her office, take out the gangster by pushing him over the rail.

You also learn to plant bombs in this level. Always be on the lookout for places where you can use your explosives to cause an "accident."
