Blackwater Roof - Getting to Dexter | 19: Countdown Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General objectives of the stage: Dexter is on the heliport and you can get there in several different ways. New enemies will try to stop you of course plus you have to watch out for the minefield.

Once you get to the upper rooftop, spend some time to get to know the current situation. Some enemies are patrolling the roof and other stand still in one place. Focus on the latter because you can easily bypass or kill them. Especially you should get interested in two guards stopping at the roof edge on the right. You can easily push them out of the roof, gaining additional Instinct.

While crossing the roof use the advantage of the limited visibility of your enemies. If you're using Blackwater tactical team disguise then you might hide at the proximity mines along your way, waiting until local enemies walk away.

There are several ways leading to the heliport. The first possible way is a minefield shown on the above screen. I recommend going there only if you play on one of lower difficulty settings, because on higher levels this path is guarded by an additional person, which can be bypassed with Instinct or a throwable object.

When crossing the minefield I advise using your entire Instinct, because actually it is only useful here. Mines' locations are shown on the above screen.

After crossing the minefield you can head to the stairs (screen above) or choose a right ventilation shaft (description of the room, where the shaft is leading to, can be found later in the guide).

Once you get to the top of the roof, turn left and jump over crates shown on the above screen. Move to the edge, climb down and start moving to the left.

When you bypass all mines, climb up. Go straight and when you get to the place shown on the above screen grab the upper edge in order to get to the heliport.

Another way to get to the heliport is using the door, which is not good visible. It is located in the place shown on the above screen, right from the first minefield. This door should be guarded by at least two persons regardless of the difficulty settings, so it is important to have enough Instinct to bypass them.

Once you get inside a small room, look around for a keycard (screen above).

When you get the keycard, you can return to the previous roof and use the keycard to unlock the door shown on the above screen. On Expert and Purist difficulty levels this passage is guarded by an additional person so distract the opponent or use Instinct again. In the newly unlocked area look around for evidence.

Return to the room, where you've found a keycard. Depending on your preferences you can go here to the left ventilation shaft (screen 1 - it leads to the first minefield) or go to the right door (screen 2), destroying the lock with a gun.

If you have unlocked the mentioned right door, climb up the ladder shown on the above screen.
