This page in our guide to Hitman 2 contains the map with locations available in the fourth episode - a high rise block, slums, and a train station in Mumbai. We have marked the most important locations. Below you can find the general description of this location where you can learn about the mission's objectives and rewards for unlocking new Mastery levels. The detailed walkthrough for the Mumbai level is on another page of our guide.

General information about Chasing a Ghost mission

  1. You need to assassinate three targets - the Maelstrom, Vanya Shah, and Dawood Rangan. You can kill them in any order. This episode has more opportunities to assassinate more than one target in a single action than other missions.
  2. The Maelstrom is an unusual target because you don't know how this person looks like - you need to identify this target. How to easily identify the Maelstrom? page is very useful here. The Maelstrom's clothes and other characteristics are randomized every time you replay this mission. Maelstrom walks around the slums but the target can also stop near the barber or the booths with tea. The Maelstrom can also meet with other characters from your list, i.e. their beloved or the Kashmirian (another assassin on this map).
  3. Vanya Shah is in the abandoned train yard controlled by her people. The woman hosts her guests, but she can also leave her throne to, i.e. wash her face or drink tea. You can change her daily schedule when you are at the station, or you can make her leave the train yard to, i.e. meet with the laundry worker or one of the mission targets.
  4. Dawood Rangan is on one of the upper floors of the high-rise block. He can be in his office, on the movie set or go to the floor that is still under construction to interrogate the prisoner. You can force him to do other activities, i.e. to meet with the painter. Rangan leaves the building only in special circumstances, i.e. to meet with one of the targets.
  5. Mumbai is one of the largest locations in the game. We recommend exploring the entire map to get accustomed to it. Then, try to get (various) outfits of the guards. You will use them to explore the two biggest areas on this level - the high-rise block and the train station. Memorize placements of important items (i.e. unused outfits or poison).
  6. Mumbai offers 7 Mission Stories. They can help you eliminate your targets. Besides that, you can also complete 94 challenges. Agent 47 can reach Mastery level 20.

Rewards for reaching new Mastery levels

REWARD

COMMENTARY

2

Starting location: Train.

A small change. You can start the mission near the train yard which allows you to reach Vanya Shah faster.

2

Hidden stash: Shoeshop.

This stash is in the slums. Only small items can be placed here.

2

ICA 19 Silverballer Mark II

The upgraded version of the default silenced pistol. Has more firepower at a cost of reduced fire rate.

3

Starting location: Laundry.

Starting outfit: Laundry worker.

A rather good starting outfit thanks to which you will, i.e. have an easier time completing the Mission Story during which you meet with Vanya.

3

Hidden stash: Homeless Tent.

Only small items can be placed here.

4

Starting location: Boat.

This location isn't that useful. The only thing it allows you to do is to reach the hill guarded by Crows faster.

5

Starting location: Barge.

Starting outfit: Local guard.

This starting location and the outfit make for a great combination. You can immediately infiltrate the high-rise block (the one where you can find Dawood Rangan).

5

Hidden stash: Streets on the hill.

Only small items can be placed here.

5

Hidden stash: Meat Market

Only small items can be placed here.

5

Bartoli 12G Short H shotgun

This weapon is practically useless for the challenges available on this level.

6

Starting location: Skywalk.

The skywalk gives you better access to some of the neighbor locations. However, Agent 47 will have a hard time infiltrating them without a proper outfit.

6

Hidden stash: Washing stalls.

Only small items can be placed here.

6

Hidden stash: Pottery market.

Only small items can be placed here.

7

Hidden stash: Construction site.

A good place for smuggling a sniper rifle or any bigger item into the level.

7

ICA Remote Explosive Mk II

The ability to detonate an explosive remotely is a good thing, but the explosive charge can be easily detected as a threat.

8

Starting location: Taxi.

This location doesn't offer you any unique features.

8

Starting location: Old tyre.

Only small items can be placed here. This location is next to the train yard - try to smuggle in, i.e. a poison or a lockpick.

8

Hidden stash: Beach.

Only small items can be placed here.

9

Starting location: Chawls.

This building is near the default starting location. However, this place allows you to reach the Kashmirian faster.

9

Hidden stash: Rooftop south.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

10

Hidden stash: Rooftop north.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

10

ICA Proximity Micro Explosive

This explosive detonates automatically when someone gets closer to it.

11

Starting location: Slums.

Starting outfit: Food vendor.

A rather good combination. Thanks to the outfit, you will be harder to detect in the slums. It also allows you to poison Maelstrom while the target is visiting a tea booth.

11

Hidden stash: Channel.

Only small items can be placed here.

12

Hidden stash: Train tracks.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

13

Starting location: Metal forge.

Starting outfit: Metal vendor.

The metal vendor outfit will help you avoid the Crows. However, this doesn't change much.

13

Hidden stash: Slum apartment.

Only small items can be placed here.

13

Poison: Emetic Syringe Mk II

An interesting gadget. This substance works like rat poison. However, this one requires you to get close to your target.

14

Hidden stash: Mumbai laundry.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

15

Hidden stash: The hill.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

15

DAK X2 Covert

A submachine gun with a silencer. Useful in specific circumstances, i.e. when you have to quickly kill someone after being detected.

16

Starting location: Photo shoot.

Starting outfit: Dancer.

A good place to start this mission. A dancer doesn't have the same rights as a guard, however, you start near Rangan. You can also use this opportunity to look for another outfit.

16

Hidden stash: Balcony pot.

Only small items can be placed here.

17

Starting location: Hill.

Starting outfit: member of the Crows.

A useful starting location with a good outfit. This costume allows you to enter numerous locations (i.e. the Crows' hideout). This starting location also allows you to assassinate Maelstrom with ease.

18

Hidden stash: Carpark.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

19

Starting location: Train yard.

Starting outfit: Shah's servant.

This starting location and the outfit make for a good combination. Agent 47 can reach Shah with ease. You can also deactivate monitoring system on the map or look for another outfit.

20

Hidden stash: Train yard.

You can use this stash to smuggle a sniper rifle or other large items into the level.

20

Druzhina 34 sniper rifle

This weapon has a better range than the sniper rifle from Hawke's Bay. Very useful in Mumbai. However, this model also lacks a silencer.

In Mumbai, players can reach Mastery level 20. However, this will take you some time due to the fact that you have to complete numerous challenges. This location doesn't offer any new gadgets you should get at all cost but the emetic syringe and the new sniper rifle (without a silencer) will help you eliminate certain targets.

When choosing a starting location, pick those that allow you to start the mission in an outfit and near one of the mission targets. The best ones are the train yard, the barge, and the photo shoot. Mumbai is full of hidden stashes - choose them accordingly to your current challenge or Mission Story. As for larger stashes (those that can store a sniper rifle), choose the ones adjacent to the places where your targets are (i.e. train tracks, the construction site or the hill).
