Penthouse - Defeating Layla in a melee fight | 18: Blackwater Park Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General assumptions: Murdering Layla in a direct fight is a unique way to complete the main mission objective, connected to meeting Dexter's assistant face to face in her private panic room. It is noteworthy variant of behavior, especially that the duel takes place in the room where you end the mission.

In order to meet Layla you have to get to her private panic room, located in hardly accessible part of the penthouse. The fastest way to get there is the door in the room with the lift (screen above). You can unlock this door with a keycard (one of them can be found in Lenny's bedroom and another is in the room with a laptop) or wait until one of guards unlocks the door and sneak behind him.

You can approach a panic room also from the other side, crossing well guarded penthouse areas (a room with the whale skeleton among others). A room which is your target is shown on the above screen.

The entrance to the panic room is hidden in the wall but you do not have to look for it on your own. Hide behind cover and wait until Layla comes here so you can locate the entrance without problems.

Enter the panic room, which will result in a cut-scene with Layla. Prepare yourself, because after a moment you'll have to quickly execute her (screen above).
