The Hamartia Compulsion

The target is Ignazio Alberti, one of the bodyguards outside the Sanguine shop underneath Villa Caruso. He alternates between leaning on an sign and leaning over a balcony railing overlooking the beach.

The simplest method to take him out is to throw him over the railing. Look out for wandering civilians and the bodyguards standing nearby, especially the one to the right who turns his head towards the other, and your target, occssionally. If necessary, you may need to throw a coin in the other direction to temporarily turn him away from Alberti.

The new target is Francesco Vivaldi, a tourist that starts the mission by watching the street performer on the Beach Square, then makes his way past the Beach, into the tunnel by the public toilets, then up the stairs and past Alberti to lean on the balcony railing near the pair of bodyguards. He will then sit on a bench by the bakery, and finally makes his way back to the square to start the loop over again.

A few good moments to eliminate Vivaldi are: when he looks at the lower Level 0 entrance to the Sanguine Shop, he can be lured in there past the locked door; when he climbs the stairs and approaching Alberti, there is a nearby toilet he can be lured into and killed; when he leans on the railing, the guards next to him, as well as the pedestrian to his right, can be distracted and he can be pushed off (this is quite hard, however); and finally when he's standing next to the bottom of the pipe that goes from the rooftop connected to the ICA Safe House, there is an empty apartment building next to it which he can be lured into.

An imporant thing to note is that when Alberti is pushed off the balocny, the guard next to him will spin around when he hears the body hit the floor below him and will immediately spot Alberti's gun. He will then take the gun downstairs using the staircase Vivaldi uses to go up. This means that, if you kill Alberti shortly before you plan to kill Vivaldi, you need to watch out for the guard that takes Alberti's gun to a gun crate spotting you. On the plus side, with that guard gone you are free to take Vivaldi out in the corridor near the top of the stairs and the public toilet without getting spotted (the only exception possibly being the housekeeper in the Sanguine Shop).

The new target is Evodio Minnella, a civilian that hangs around near Alberti. He sits on a bench to the right of the pair of bodyguards, drinks a bottle on the railing and occasionally takes a phone call nearby.

A handy method to kill Minnella with is poisoning his bottle, although you will need to wait for him to take his phone call if you don't want to be spotted, and you will also need to distract the pair of bodyguards. On the other hand, by acquiring a Kitchen Assistant, Waiter or Chef disguise (a Kitchen Assistant disguise can be found in the backroom of the nearby bakery that connects it to the Sanguine Shop), you are allowed to poison the drnk. Unless you kill Alberti first, it is wiser to use emetic poison rather than lethal, because a dead body, accidental or otherwse, will cause guards to temporarily be alarmed, which will throw off getting Alberti. Other than that, you can chuck Minnella off the balcony railing as well, although you may be spotted by any member of the plethora of bodyguards on break nearby.

The new complications force you to eliminate the targets in a civilian disguise, whilst also having to constantly equip a pistol. However, a couple of things to remember is that the timer to re-equip the pistol resets instantly, so you can show it for only a split-second at a time, and you only need to have the Housekeeper disguise equipped when the targets are eliminated, but not necessarily before or after that.

The disguise itself is found loose in two different locations, one in the storage room next to Silvio Caruso's bedroom, and the other in the laundry room next to the villa's Wine Cellar. It's much simpler, however, to acquire the Housekeeper disguise off the man sweeping in the Sanguine Shop next to the targets and hiding his body behind the counter.

The kill methods should remain the same, pushing Alberti over the railing, dealing with Vivaldi at the top of the stairs to the balcony (minding the guard moving the gun as mentioned earlier, as well as a few potential tourists getting in the way by luring him into the bathroom or Sanguine Shop) and poisoning Minella's bottle, but be aware of the constant need to re-equip your pistol before the 7-second countdown elapses. Note that certain animations such as climbing, dragging bodies, picking locks, taking disguises, etc. will automatically un-equip your pistol. Some animations take so long that you will need to take your gun out immediately to avoid failure; some animations, such as using the pipe from the ICA Safe House down to the stairs leading to the Beach Square are so long that you simply cannot do them without running out of time.

Once you've eliminated all three targets, the Sticky Pistol complication is still in effect, so you should equip the Mansion Security disguise found in one of the Sanguine Shop's changing rooms in order to exfiltrate without worry.

The new complication requires the kills to be well-timed and almost-sychronised. Fortunately, since all 3 happen in close proximity, the challenge rests in setting everything up before Vivaldi reaches the other targets, so that by the time he reaches the stairs up to where they are, Minella has been poisoned and Alberti has been pushed off the cliff. However, it may be wiser to use emetic poison on Minella instead of smuggling in lethal poison, in order to prevent a search or panic that will lead to guards finding bodies. Note that you are allowed to pacify any targets before eliminating them without starting the timer, so you may want to knock out Minella once he enters the bathroom (he will vomit in a bin instead of the toilet, by drowning him takes too long to re-equip the pistol anyway) and Vivaldi once he's reached the top of the stairs, then dragging him into the toilet with Minella, then taking out Alberti to start the streak.
