Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a stealth action game where players assume the role of a professional operative. They infiltrate heavily guarded, real-world locations to achieve objectives related to organized crime and international conflicts.
Story
JAPAN
Mountains cover three-quarters of Japan, with the larger ranges running through the center of the Japanese archipelago like a spine.
Towering above a beautiful lake and archaic temple-studded town emerges the sacred mountain of Kurokiyama. This inaccessible site is visited only by the occasional Shinto pilgrim.
An ancient six-story castle with ceramic tiled hogyo roofing and massive stonewalls looks down from its strategic position high on the neck of the mountain. A local shogun built it here during the Edo period.
It is a fitting setting for a 20th century oyabun like Masahiro Hayamoto. From here he controls his yakuza maneuverings and international arms deals.
MALAYSIA
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A city brimming with prosperity, luxury and incredible opportunity.
Populated by a teeming chaos of cultures, it attracts the sharks of organized crime from all over the world. It's a feeding frenzy.
At the same time, spears of sterile office buildings burst out over the new and ancient populace, reaching for the skies. Everyone is staking a claim for the future.
NURISTAN
In a remote valley, hidden in the Hindu Kush mountain range of Nuristan, lies a secluded citadel. Currently, it's ruled by a local khan, Abdul Bismillah Malik, known as Al-Khabir (The Big Guy), and his fierce tribe of warmongering mujahedin.
A minaret doubles as a watchtower, overlooking the steppes, hillsides and nearby river. Anyone openly approaching the citadel can be seen for miles.
This, and the solid brick walls surrounding the citadel, seem to signal security. However, this stronghold has changed hands many times over the centuries. A professional always finds a way.
INDIA
A Sikh uprising in this remote region of Punjab, Northern India, in the mid 1980s was ruthlessly repressed by government troops. Many innocent locals were killed.
Ever since, no outsider has dared venture into this territory for fear of reprisals.
A maze of small shops and bangalas (small houses) suggest some prosperity in this otherwise poverty-stricken province.
A magnificent, ancient gurdwara (Sikh temple) — complete with marble inlays, glazed tiles, filigree partitions, priceless murals and gold domes — is protected by the high walls of a qila (fort) and fanatical believers.

Items & Weapons
CLOSE COMBAT
Small, lightweight, and easily concealable, close combat weapons such as knives and the fiber wire allow near silent kills but have drawbacks.
HANDGUNS
Lightweight and easily concealable, pistols and revolvers are perfect for close-up kills, though they make noise unless silenced, and dual Silverballers offer extra firepower.
SUB-MACHINEGUNS (SMG)
Only just concealable, sub-machineguns are perfect for fierce fire fights, but a high rate of fire can quickly deplete ammo.
RIFLES
Large and precise, rifles are best used over distance; Hitman can only carry one at a time, and it cannot be concealed.
SHOTGUNS
The shotgun has a devastating effect at close range, but accuracy and damage are severely reduced over longer distances.
SNIPER RIFLES R83 SNIPER
Highly accurate and extremely powerful, the sniper rifle is the definitive long-range weapon, allowing targets to be eliminated in a split second with proper positioning, patience, and a steady hand.
BINOCULARS
An excellent tool for spotting targets and planning safe routes through missions.
MAP
An essential piece of equipment for navigation, displaying all available information on the level for precision planning and execution of a hit.
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES
The high-tech solution to darkness, although your field of view can be severely impaired.
SPECIAL ITEMS
The Agency will provide a range of special items, such as car bombs, for use on certain missions.
Tips & Maps
Numerous Ways to Complete a Mission
If your plan isn't working, try a new approach. It is nearly always possible to make the hit without collateral damage.
Maximize Your Reward
Maximize your reward by using stealth and resorting only to non-lethal weaponry when neutralizing guards and/or other obstacles when getting to your target.
Use Disguises and Costume Changes
Use disguises and costume changes to throw off your pursuers and gain access to otherwise inaccessible areas.
Bullets and Doors/Windows
Bullets will pass through most doors and nearly all windows.
Pay Attention to Sound
An audible heartbeat is a sign of danger - the enemy might just be getting suspicious.
Keyhole Mode
By being cautious and using Keyhole mode ("look through keyhole" feature) you can further ensure a safe passage through rooms.
Suspicious Behavior in Disguise
Being in disguise doesn't mean you won't get spotted. Suspicious behavior while in disguise will still draw attention to yourself.
Walk Instead of Run
It is advisable to walk instead of run when in well-travelled areas, otherwise guards may take notice of you.
