Great Balls of Fire - Getting to the bartender after starting a fight | 7: Welcome to Hope Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General assumptions: Another way of completing the Great Balls of Fire stage is starting the fight in the bar. The advantage of this method is that access restrictions of other areas in the bar will be removed. The disadvantage is that on your way you can be challenged by other local guests to a fist fight.

The first step is, of course, starting the fight in the bar. You can do this in two main ways. The first is to attack any of the local quests, for example Kane on his guest appearance. It is best to do this by attacking another person with a bottle or other item found in the area, so right from the start you'll gain an advantage.

Another method of starting the fight begins with going to the toilet. After you get there, check the entrance area and pull the lever shown on the above screen.

After starting the fight in the bar you'll have to decide how you want to behave. More obvious solution is a slow walk towards the bar. On your way there you'll be regularly attacked by hostile characters and each time you have to complete a simple mini-game bases on pressing keys/button accordingly to on-screen instructions. If you make a mistake, Agent 47 will lose some HP and in such case you should look around inside side rooms for medical cabinets hanging on walls.

Taking part in fights is not mandatory, because you can also reach the main bar area through the ventilation shaft described in previous subchapter (the one inside toilets). Additional advantage of this solution is reaching the room with evidence. It is worth noting that if you do not want to use the ventilation shaft then in order to get an access to the room with mentioned secret you would have to use a keycard taken from one of defeated bouncers.

Keep walking towards the bar. After getting into the main bar room you should stay close to the right wall, because at some point its fragment will be destroyed and you'll be able to cross another toilet, avoiding a large group of enemies.

Regardless of whether you took part in fights or you avoided them, you have to reach a place where you can find the bartender. Press interact key/button to start questioning him.
