Last update: 11 May 2016

General objectives: A second part of crossing the library is more challenging than a previous one, because many new enemies appear in the area and the building can be left with only one exit.

If you start exploration of the second part of the library on the ground floor, first of all you should skillfully use covers and keep an eye on actions of policemen in the area. It would be also good to look around and find evidence shown on the above screen, although getting them without policeman disguise can be difficult.

If, in turn, you start at the upper balcony, then you'll encounter one or two policemen on your way. You can eliminate them or try to sneak past them. In the latter case it is advisable to hide in closets and to climb on upper ledges, where Hitman can stay unspotted.

Regardless of the chosen path you should get close to one of the main areas of the library. It is worth to stop here for a moment and note the arrival a new large group of enemies. Some opponents will stay at the main stairs leading to the library exit and the rest will go to the already explored part of the building.

You can of course reach the library exit in many ways. If you're a fan of aggressive style of playing, you should get interested in a possibility of using the chandelier to eliminate a main group of policemen (you have to find a proper lever). This is connected of course with worse end result but opponents will become confused and there will be less of them to deal with.

But fortunately there are other ways to leave the library without killing anyone. To avoid detection you should stick to one of side walls of the building, slowly moving forwards and watching the actions of enemies. The exit is located on the first floor, so if you're still on the ground floor, you have to locate any side stairs leading to the upper floor.

Depending on the difficulty level you might encounter even 3-4 opponents in the near of the library exit (screen above). You can use the chandelier here to kill someone, use the throwable object do distract policemen or walk past them in disguise, activating Instinct to hide your face.

The end part of this stage is very simple. Walk around the damaged staircase, stopping at the place shown on the above screen and climbing on the upper ledge.

There is only one more thing to do - walking over a metal bean shown on the above screen. After completing this action, head to the library exit.
