In the world of Hitman, meticulous planning and strategic execution are key. But sometimes, a little chaos can be the most fun. The "I Will Cry If I Want To" challenge in Hitman: Bangkok throws that planning out the window and replaces it with a symphony of trumpeting porcelain.
What is the "I Will Cry If I Want To" Challenge?
This challenge in the Bangkok level, also known as Club 27, tasks Agent 47 with finding and destroying a specific set of 18 golden elephants scattered throughout the opulent Bangkok Hotel. Destroying all 18 unlocks the challenge and rewards you with the aptly named "Elephants Don’t Forget" achievement/trophy.
The Elephant Hunt
There’s no on-screen marker for these golden elephants, so finding them all requires exploration and a keen eye. They’re cleverly hidden in various locations throughout the hotel, from guest rooms and staff areas to the lawyer’s office (a good starting point) and even the helipad. Some are tucked away on shelves, while others might be behind paintings or even in toilets.
A Chaotic Symphony
The challenge’s name is a playful reference to the elephants’ trumpeting sound effect that plays every time you smash one. Completing the challenge unleashes a cacophony of these sounds, turning the luxurious hotel into a bizarre elephantine orchestra.
Tips & Tricks
- Consult a guide! There are numerous online resources that provide a complete list of elephant locations with screenshots or video walkthroughs [YouTube].
- Playing as a staff member like the chef or waiter can grant easier access to certain areas.
- Look for suspicious-looking spots. A random golden elephant on a shelf might stick out.
- Embrace the chaos! This challenge is more about fun than stealth. Don’t worry about attracting attention, unleash your inner elephant-smashing rage!
The Legacy of "I Will Cry If I Want To"
While absent from Hitman 3, the "I Will Cry If I Want To" challenge remains a fan favorite for its unique blend of humor and challenge. It’s a reminder that Hitman isn’t always about silent assassinations; sometimes, the most memorable moments come from causing a little controlled mayhem.
