In this walkthrough, you will learn how to become a Silent Assassin in Hitman: Blood Money's first mission, A Vintage Year.

Before we start here are some reminders on how to attain the Silent Assassin rank:
-Do not blow your cover
-Do not KILL any non-targets, sedate when necesary.
-Do not be seen detonating or placing any bombs
-Do not use any firearm
-Remember to retrieve your suit or any custom firearm (they shouldn't be needed) before escaping, for if left behind, WILL cost you money and lower your rank.
-Unless an accident kill, DO NOT let bodies be found, this will lower your rank
Remember, these parameters are for nearly every mission, and not just the mission covered in this walkthrough.

Keep in mind this tutorial was written for the Pro difficulty and some stuff may not apply to lower difficulties. Happy hunting.

SPECS ARE FOR THE PRO DIFFICULTY

-Time: Approx. 10 Minutes
-Difficulty: Moderate
-Equipment: Silverballer (W/ Silencer)

-You spawn facing a gate, turn left and move along the side of the villa.
-Move to the back and turn right.
-Sedate patrolling guard, and drag into crevice near the center of the back wall. Suit Guard.
-Walk back to the side of the villa and find a crate at the bottom of a destroyed wall. Climb over.
-Approach the house in front of you and turn left.
-Climb pipe on house onto the roof and crawl through the roof.
-Strangle your first target (White Suit playing the cello), if he's not there hide in the wardrobe on the back wall of the room untile he arrives.
-Dispacth body over the balcony, take his Snub Nosed pistol if desired.
-Climb back down, move to the front of the house and face it.
-Go right, through gate, and enter the winehouse, straight and to the left.
-Plant bomb on winch that suspends wine barrels to the right of you, near the staircase. IMPORTANT: make sure no one is looking, the place is riddled with people, and a pesky guard likes to stand by the winch at intervals, I'll teach you about him later.
-Stalk your second prey (Queer looking fellow in a pink shirt, a good tip is to pay attention to briefings) until he stands stupidly under the wine barrels and ties his shoes.
-Before you detonate your RU-AP Mine, take care of that guard I mentioned earlier. If he's standing by the winch, move him away with a coin. If he's on the stairs KEEP HIM THERE. Walk in circles arond him, it distracts them. If this guard dies, your rank is reduced to Specialist.
-Drop the wine on your target for accident kill.

-Make your way back to where you dispatched the sedated guard
-Suit back up
-Make your way down the back wall to the waterfall.
-Turn right, and make your way down the hill. You'll probably see your first target, this is where he falls when dropped off balcony.
-Go all the way down to the docks.
-Here's the tricky part, sneak past the guard to the airboat to escape. The guard is pretty spontaneous, so he could be patrolling or smoking. If patrolling you should wait until he's smoking to attempt to sneak past.
-Escape

Leave feedback please. This is my first walkthrough and I'd like to know how I can improve my next one.

From Steam Name Raef:
Detonated the explosives aforementioned can kill people standing right outside the door. While rare (rare being I've played this mission a thousand times and this has never happened) it can cost you the rank if not careful.

From Steam Name Mango:
"You don't need an outfit to get into the wine cellar, if you go with the tour guide you can enter without raising alarm." I've never done it this way and I'm just gonna take his word for it kthnx.

Also I made a video guide but I'm retarded and don't know how to upload it so some help there would be nice.
