Master the challenging Part 76 mission in Hitman World of Assassination. This guide details strategies for completing 'For My Next Trick!', 'The Darkness and the Blood', and 'The Quiet Earth' challenges.
Doing [For My Next Trick!] is the most challenging of the two because there is only one Gasoline Drum on the Map, which is at the Catering Delivery Area, and neither Target goes anywhere near it or can be lured to it. The closest Target is Viktor and you have to knock him out and drag him here. But you have to safely get rid of a lot of people before you can do this Challenge.
I am also combining [The Darkness and the Blood] and [The Quiet Earth] Challenges in case you want to use this run to get them.
As for calling this The Halloween Run, the Vampire Magician Disguise is a silly outfit and some of the people you run into remark about it being a Halloween costume. So I thought it would be fun to call this strategy The Halloween Run since you spend most of your time disguised this way.
When planning bring the ICA Remote Explosive, Coins, and start in the Basement Kitchen. Go to the West Pantry and read the Cocktail Recipe. Pick up some Emetic Rat Poison from the East Pantry and a Crowbar. After doing that then go to the East Hallway through the Locker Room and pick up another Crowbar. Go to the door leading to the East Hallway Pipe, while grabbing the Wrench along the way, and open it to unlock it.
Run up to the Restroom by the Kitchen and turn on the Sink to lure the nearby Palace Staff inside. When he turns it off then knock him out with the Wrench and dump him in the Closet. Pick up the Screwdriver from behind the Catwalk before going into the Kitchen. Poison the Sushi to make Kurt sick so you can get rid of him then pick up the other two Rat Poisons.
Quickly go to the Bar, make the Bare Knuckle Boxer, and poison it. Go back and stand outside the Restrooms then bring out the Wrench. When Kurt goes into the Restroom to throw up then follow him, knock him out, take his weapon and Phone, and dump him in the Closet. Go back outside and wait again. When Viktor comes by later then knock him out and leave the body. Take Kurt's clothes and leave the Restroom.
At this point it is time to start clearing a path to the Catering Delivery Area.
Close the door for The Grand Hall near the Kitchen and close the door to the Auction Entrance. Knock out the stationary Guard and carefully drag him to the nearest Restroom, while keeping an eye on the people coming off of the Catwalk, to dump him in the Closet. After that then knock out the woman taking selfies and dump her in the same Closet.
Go up to the AV Center to pick up the Fireworks Remote Detonator. Next, go down to the Dressing Room and to the north side where the Sabers are found. Knock out the Stylist there and quickly drag him to the Container to the east for hiding. When knocking him out you may also break the glass at the same time which will attract attention.
Once the person leaves then grab a Saber then go to The Patio Pipe so you can get up to the 2nd Floor. It should be noted that because you are wearing the Bodyguard Disguise you can have the Saber out in the open without any problems.
Once you are on the 2nd Floor then go into the Voltaire Suite's Bathroom and drop the Saber in a corner. Use the Sink to lure in the standing Guard. Stay in the corner near the Closet and throw stun him with either a Crowbar or Wrench when he turns it off. Dump him in the Closet and take his weapon.
When Sophus enters the Suite then wait for him to stop and then use the Sink to lure him in. Get back in the corner and wait. As he get there then Dalia will leave. When he turns off the Sink then throw stun him and dump his body in the Closet - drop the Rifle here too. Leave the Bathroom through the window then shimmy and climb into the North Attic.
Make the game save here before proceeding.
Go to the Disguise and change into it to acquire the [The Darkness and the Blood] Challenge then reload the save. Go to the two Guards ahead and attack one of them. When they go orange and attack you then run for the Vampire Magician Disguise and change into it to acquire the [Like Mist] Challenge. After that then reload the save.
NOTE: The reason for doing [The Darkness and the Blood] first is to make sure that you can acquire it on this run-through as save reloads can mess up certain Challenges.
Go to the Disguise and change into it then sneak back to the Bathroom, pick up the Saber, and wait. When Dalia re-enters the Suite then wait for her to stop then run out and kill her with the sword from behind. Dump her in the Closet, drop the Saber as you no longer need it, then go back into the North Attic through the windows.
The next part is sneak to the Scaffold so you can enter the Museum Director's Office.
Sneak back to the Connecting Walkway and proceed south. At the south end you should see two Guards at the corner. Climb the table and quickly sneak run past them. After these two then sneak east towards the room with the Scaffold. You can easily jump over the table and get past the last group of Guards with no problem.
Once you get down to the Office balcony then knock out the Guard here. Go to the door leading into the Storage Room and use your Instinct to find the Guard. When he goes to the painting close to you and has his back turned then sneak out and knock him out. Go through the west door then climb out the window and shimmy over and down The East Hallway Pipe.
Go down into the Basement through the unlocked door and sneak into the Locker Room and switch into the Palace Staff Disguise to place the outfit here. Go through the East Pantry and south into the South Wine Cellar.
There are a total of nine people you need to safely get rid of so you can drag Viktor to the Gasoline Drum. Outside at the top of the stairs are a couple of Palace Staff personnel. Place a Coin just outside the door and another one just inside. Toss a Crowbar at the stair
