Snoop Dogg has arrived in HITMAN World of Assassination as an Elusive Target and has made his way onto the list of Agent 47’s assassinations, as Dr. Cyrus Cane. The Herbalist is known for making and selling edibles in the game that can potentially harm customers and has even killed many during its testing processes.
I was extremely excited to take on this mission, and I must admit, it did not disappoint. If you have tried out the World of Assassination before, you know how hard it can be to finish assassinations with the Silent Assassin rating. In this guide, I will explain how to do just that.
How to Get a Silent Assassin Rating on The Herbalist in HITMAN World of Assassination
When assassinating Snoop Dogg (The Herbalist) in HITMAN World of Assassination, you can go for the cleanest path, which, in my opinion, is to do the following:
Take a decent disguise and default loadout that includes fiber wire, coin, and the starting pistol. Then walk past the security gate in the front and find a scaffolding next to the wall. Climb it, and you will be inside the compound.
Head to the right of the crowd and look for a vine that leads upstairs. Make sure to avoid the guard’s gaze while climbing it, and it will lead to the first floor.
Once on the first floor, keep heading right and run past the guards. Then take a left, and you will find a bedroom to your left-hand side.
Enter it and collect the Haven Villa key by the standing table on the left of the bed. This key essentially helps you unlock all the doors inside the villa.
Beyond the bed, you will find another door that leads to the bathroom. Enter the bathroom and then keep progressing till you find one more door. Unlock that one, and you will find two guards inside it, with an electrical board on the half-wall.
Turn off the lights with the help of the electrical board; this will distract the staff workers. Once one of them comes to investigate the board, subdue them and take their unconscious body to the bathroom and find a locker to store it there.
Do the same thing with the other guard as well. Make sure to hide the weapons too; otherwise, it can ruin your rating if found.
Grab the wrench from the toolbox inside the bathroom and go back to the next room with the electrical board. Now here’s where it gets tense. You have to wait for a while till the target, Dr. Cyrus Cane, enters the room with two of his bodyguards.
One of the bodyguards will wait in the security room, and the other one, along with Dr. Cane, will walk into the same room as you.
Wait for Cane to walk towards the balcony, and then knock out the bodyguard with the wrench you picked up from the toolbox.
After that, sneak up to the Herbalist and push him down the balcony. The game will count this as an accidental kill; as a result, guards will be less suspicious of you.
What Happens After You Kill The Herbalist in HITMAN World of Assassination
There is much to do after you kill Dr. Cyrus Cane. Here’s what you have to do next in order to finish the mission with a Silent Assassin rating:
The target drops a key, so don’t forget to grab that. In the same room on the balcony, there is a safe that the key unlocks. Inside, you can find a dongle, which is required to destroy the edible business.
To destroy the Cannabis Crops, collect the dongle, head back to the balcony, and take the vine route down again.
From there, turn right until you see a locked sliding glass door. You can unlock it with the key you found earlier and get inside. I found it easy to do this with a bodyguard disguise on, as the security will be less interested in you.
Once you get inside the room, look for a highlighted book on the left side of the room with the help of your focus vision. Pulling the book will unlock a secret door, inside of which you will find two guards handling the Cannabis operation.
On the right of the door you enter, you will find a crowbar inside a locker; pick it up and silently knock out the two guards inside. Remember, it has to be done with a crowbar; otherwise, the other guard can hear you subdue their friend.
Find the interactive laptop on the table and use the dongle on it. This will finish the objective for destroying the Cannabis operation led by Dr. Cyrus Cane in HITMAN World of Assassination.
Exit the room and immediately head for the closest exit, which is the plane parked near the shore. Once you reach it and interact with it, you will finish the mission with the Silent Assassin rating.
What Does the Silent Assassin Rating Mean in HITMAN World of Assassination?
The Silent Assassin rating requires you to leave no trace inside the mission area, including recordings, finding dead bodies, or equipment. Moreover, getting detected by an enemy will also rob you of the rating. Hence, this is the fastest route I found, which is also safe and does not require you to try out different methods. That being said, if you want to challenge yourself with more creative kills, you can also try out the poisoning or the fountain pen method, which requires you to explore more.
That wraps up the Elusive Target guide for Snoop Dogg (Dr. Cyrus Cane) in HITMAN World of Assassination for the Silent Assassin rating hunters. The mission is a memorable one and can take you quite long if you choose to explore every route. Moreover, I also found this to be quite replayable, as the assassination options are fun.
I would highly recommend that you always stay ready to swap to a disguise, as it saved me a lot of time when walking around the map, since I did not have to actively hide all the time.
