Part 425

Your friendly guide to Whittleton Creek in Hitman World of Assassination. Learn about the mission 'Another Life', key locations, and hidden secrets.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Whittleton Creek, huh? It's a pretty chill spot, almost *too* perfect, you know? Like a postcard from suburban America. Think quiet streets, nice houses, and folks just enjoying a Saturday. It's the setting for the mission 'Another Life' in HITMAN™ 2, and it's got its own unique vibe. You'll find it's mostly private residences, but there are public areas like a park and a small plaza with a statue of Jonathan West. The creek itself wraps around the east and south sides, lined with trees and grass. Keep an eye out, though – while most of the map is open, some places are off-limits, like the construction site and the reservoir. You'll also notice a lot of undercover security mixed in with the regular police, so stay sharp! There are 14 properties here, and you can access some of them. The Wilson property is hosting a party, so that's open to everyone. Just remember, the houses and their yards are private, so don't go snooping where you shouldn't unless you've got a good disguise. Now, for some fun trivia: You might notice a little marijuana farm in the garage at 420 Mapletree Lane, complete with a Cannabis Joint and some Rat Poison. If you're exploring, check out the tunnel connecting the Janus and Griswold properties – it unlocks a fun challenge called 'Tunnel Ducks Rule!'. Oh, and the Griswold property? It's actually called 'Hanson' on the mailbox and keys, and it looks a lot like the Griswold house from *National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation*. Little easter eggs like that are what make this game great! Watch out for the music in the Griswold basement; if it plays to the end, a Beak Staff might just appear! And speaking of parties, the Wilsons have a great playlist going. You'll also find that some of the 'civilians' are actually undercover bodyguards, carrying Hackl 9S Coverts, so they can get aggressive if they sense trouble. There's even an Expired Can of Spaghetti Sauce buried near the construction site, though it doesn't seem to do anything. This level also has fewer coins than most, which is a bit unusual. One last thing: if you mess with the oxygen tank in Janus's bedroom, you can ignite it by lighting the kitchen stove downstairs. Pretty neat, huh? There's also some cut content mentioned, like unique guards for the construction site and a 'swamp thing' disguise. It's always interesting to see what almost made it into the game!
