Walkthrough

This page contains IGN's walkthrough for the main mission The Gilded Cage from Hitman: Episode 03- Marrakesh. This Hitman game is episodic with new content to be released regularly throughout 2016. This page will help you complete one of the main missions in the second episode of the game.

Marrakesh is a bustling Moroccan market with the Swedish consulate to boot. Your targets are Swedish banker, Claus Strandberg, and the Moroccan general, Reza Zaydan. The two are working together to put Morocco into a state of martial law. The crowded market and tightly secured consulate make it difficult to isolate your targets to get a clean kill.

You can approach the mission in a variety of ways with numerous in game challenges. The more diverse methods you use throughout play throughs, the higher your mission mastery gets, which unlocks new weapons, starting areas, and such.

Before starting the mission, make sure to equip the lock pick instead of the fiber wire. This will allow you to unlock a door needed for this method.

The starting point for this mission is in a small area of the market, surrounded by people. Walk through the crowd to the left. Straight ahead is one entrance to the school where General Zaydan is located. You’ll want to make a semi-circle around to a different entrance to find an appropriate disguise.

Make the first right and walk toward a more open area of the market, passing a pottery selling woman. A food cart will be to the left. Pass it and turn left. Walking down the alley, the stairs to the school will be straight ahead, but you’ll still need a disguise to get inside.

In the alley, go down a path to the right. You will see two guards talking to a shoe store owner. While the guards are distracted, go to the other side and sneak inside the shoe store. Hide in the back corner and wait for two other guards to separate. They will be discussing a secret tunnel and a key card.

As tempting as a secret tunnel sounds, for this walkthrough we will pass on the opportunity. When the guards part ways, take out the lone guard and hide the body. Make sure to grab his firearm too so no one else finds it. Leave the shoe store the way you came in.

You can now walk into the school area. In the courtyard area, three soldiers and their commander should be in front of the main entrance. The soldiers should be doing push-ups with the commander’s back to them. If they are not exercising, they will soon enough. When the commander’s back is turned, go inside the school.

Make your way down the left hall and go around to the room in the right-hand corner. Inside should be two soldiers sitting and bad mouthing General Zaydan. On the bookcase behind them are the controls for the school’s intercom system. Flip the switch and leave the way you came in. Be cautious of a commander near the door. Use instinct to see if you will be spotted.

When the coast is clear, go up the stairs to the right and make a left. You want to enter the room directly above the intercom room. This is a bathroom. Hide against the wall of the stall and wait for General Zaydan. If he is already in the room, just slowly walk behind him to get in position behind the stall wall.

The general is not pleased with the insulting banter between his men and goes downstairs to chastise them. When he leaves, conceal your large firearm that you picked up in the nearby trash can. You won’t need it and this is a great spot to hide it.

With the gun hidden, go stand near the toilet by the hole the general was leaning over. It’d be a shame if this toilet, in its precarious position, fell to the floor below and hit someone. When General Zaydan walks directly beneath the toilet, kick it down and eliminate your target. This method will complete the challenges-

Bathroom Break
New Transfer
Someone Could Hurt Themselves
The General

Leave the school the way you came in, making sure that the commander in the courtyard will not see you. Go all the way back to where you picked up your military disguise and put back on your summer suit. This will make it easier to navigate the market unnoticed and find our next disguise.

One way into the consulate is to disguise yourself as a camera man for the TV interview that Claus Strandberg will be a part of. With the cameras rolling, no one will notice if a freelancer steps to the side.

Walk back to the open market area and go down a path to the right. On your left should be a semi-open area the leads into the exclusive shisha café called the Courtyard Club. This is where the camera man can be found. Our first step is to find a member card to get inside.

Down that tiny path you turned down will be a grey door on the left. This leads to an employee only room for the Courtyard Club. Make sure no one is watching and pick the lock. Go inside and grab the key card off the small table in the back. Now leave the employee room and go to the front entrance of the club, which is out in the market area.

Flash your membership card and head in. Go to the room in the back left corner. The camera man is in the room next door. Power down the stereo and hide in the chest nearby. Using instinct, watch the camera man leave his room to fix the music. When he passes you, pop out and knock him out. Take his clothes and hide the body in the chest.

With the camera man disguise, leave the club and walk through the dense crowd toward the consulate. Under the arch, just before the protesting crowd will be the news anchor and her producer. Talk to them and follow them to the consulate.

When you go through the front door, do not follow the crew to the front desk. This will get you spotted by a security camera. Instead, go to the right and wait for the crew to finish talking to the secretary. Follow them to the room where the interview will be conducted.

Claus will introduce himself to everyone. When he and the anchor sit down, simply turn on the camera. With the camera rolling, go hide in the front corner to your left.

Behind the dividing wall, no one can see you. Pull out your silenced pistol and take aim. At what? Claus is covered by the wall. Aim toward the ceiling at the giant moose. Shoot out one of the supporting cables to have the huge moose fall onto and kill Claus. This method will complete the challenges-

A Room With a Moose
Candid Camera
Exit Strategy
I’m a Member
Prime Time
The Banker
Uninvited

With both targets dead, all you have to do is leave the area. Leave the consulate the same way you entered. Cut through the market toward the marked exit. Mission accomplished.
