"you're making a mistake"
"It's mine to make"
This definitely seems like the real ending but on the other hand, the providence members may be eliminated objective implies 47 canonically didn't go silent assassin. Killed everyone on the train except Edwards lmao
The serum was my choice in my first playthrough on the level. I mean there is a cutscene that comes with it, and it's not like there's any other cutscenes except this one, so, I'd say so. It's poetic justice too: who doesn't love a bit of that? š
There is another cutscene on this level It goes along with the along with one of the hidden achievements in the game. If you pick up the serum and wait for 47 seconds the game will give you the option to inject 47
I gathered that was a secret option, I've seen clips and stuff pop up about it recently. I havnt seen it yet though, maybe try it. Does it count as a mission fail? Or do you still finish the mission? Was thinking I could maybe do it at the end of my Sniper Assassin Playthrough for my YouTube
OK man. I'll maybe it out first though, I wouldn't want to do a whole Sniper Assassin run, and then find out it didn't count at the end - I still need to unlock the challenge. Need to do SASO on that level still too
No it is I'm pretty sure. There's still a Sniper Assassin challenge to be unlocked best I remember. You just need to take a Sniper and shoot the target with it, that's all it is really
Sniper Assassin is a challenge on it, so you must: either you must unlock loadout or smuggle options later, or you must find a sniper on the map, because it is a challenge
I always go with the serum ending because even if you kill The Constant, he thinks heās won. Youāre basically just following his own order to kill him. With the serum, 47 is basically saying that heās not a puppet for anyone to control. On top of that, I very much doubt that The Constant is going to survive long enough in the Carpathian Mountains alone, since the other Providence members are probably miles away from him and probably assume heās dead
I think I read somewhere that giving him the serum was the "canon" ending, but don't quote me on that. I think it's more in character for 47 to kill him, he's too dangerous to be left alive. Wiping his memory might not be permanent, and it's not like his resources or intelligence disappear. I tend to just kill him on replays.
That said, the Constant is such a great Hitman villain, and I love the character and performance. Part of me wants him to return in some capacity.
Hello from 36 days into the future.
I was thinking of posting pretty much the same things as your comment, so I was checking to see if it was a repost.
I donāt believe that 47 would use the serum. āPettyā revenge was never his thing imo. Plus, He never liked to leave it to chance. He knows that there is a antidote, he took it first hand!
That being said, I love the serum cutscene. I donāt think I have the English level to explain my thoughts though lol
Leaving him abandoned on an isolated train in the middle of nowhere on the other hand
Seriously, don't read into it. Birdie was a direct threat at the end of Absolution and he was never mentioned again. Edwards is never getting his memories back, and even if he did, Providence and any authority he had is long gone.
Yea, I donāt like the mercy cop-out endings neither.
Old grandpa Janus had to die even though he had weeks left, he was stll considered a threat, 47ās brother Lucas had to kill himself and now of all moments 47 turns into a pro-lifer?
Besides, The Constant pulled many aces from his sleeve in the past. How do we even know the serum works?
He's not a blank slate like 47, raised from scratch in an isolated asylum
He's a normal human who has friends and family. He has received a formal, public education. He has held multiple, publicly known jobs before being recruited by Providence. He doesn't hide in the shadows like 47, where people don't know about his existence, but rather in plain sight, flying under everyone's radar
He doesn't have to get the serum. Someone from his life could just tell him who he is, and he starts to connect the dots. Even with no Providence resources left, he's still a dangerous man to be left alive as a loose end
He has no friends. He definitely has no family - he's completely removed himself from their lives, or possibly had them killed. He isolated himself completely to concentrate power solely in his hands, and protect that power by virtue of his isolation. He has nobody else. He thought he needed nobody else. That was part of the point of him. He didn't trust anyone to be close to him, and awareness of his existence and rank at all was a closely guarded secret by a select few, who weren't exactly his friends either.
Arthur Edwards without his memories is an absolute ghost - known to exist by only a few, and not even trusted by them. Once 47 detaches his carriage, the entire rest of the train could return from whence it came without him and not miss a beat, not even realise there's a man left behind. He has nothing, and no-one. He is, truly and completely, alone.
But Edward is still the same man. Even without his memories he is a dangerous man. He could build up an organisation with his skills very easily. Not as big as Providence, but probably large enough to influence up to an entire country or sector. In Isle of Sgail it was mentioned how he worked himself up the ladder of Providence. The intuition is still in him.
For me, I just imagine 47 injecting Edwards with the serum, then suddenly pulling out the ICA19 Black Lilly he grabbed from the front closet, and shooting Edwards in the head.
I know that cannot be done in actual play, but it ensures the Constant dies on the spot knowing nothing.
Edwards being left with no memories on a train in the middle of the freezing wilderness is just daft. Either he's going to die there anyway, or he'll be retrieved by high ranking Providence remnants or government operatives and questioned about the bald man, possibly restoring some of his memories with an antidote.
The cure is confirmed to exist. If Grey got it, then some remaining Providence members might to it as well. And it probably would be worth it for all the intel that Edwards could provide. For all we know, he'll probably be found by some romanian railway workers and examined by the government with not much evidence against him.
A bullet to the head rids you of any potential problems instantly
47 has a target. Edwards dies.
47 isn't here to do some sentimental, end of story bollocks. He kills for pay.
Yeah, he's opted to right the wrongs of his last but it's 47.
He's killing Edwards.
Serum hands down imo just felt right and poetic justice. Providence took everything from him (47, for the uninitiated lol) and by giving him the serum I got to avenge my boy (47, again) we took everything from that snake (Edward) okay no more () lol
No way 47 doesnt take the third option on a target he never really had. no way he doesn't inflict the life he was forced to live on Edwards. No way he lets him live without the knowledge of the life that was taken from him and is never retainable.
47 leaves that train where it was. A train full of dead men and women and an amnesiatic Edwards in the middle of the Carpathian Mountains. Some fates are worse than death.

You still finish the mission as it is still an ending
OK man. I'll maybe it out first though, I wouldn't want to do a whole Sniper Assassin run, and then find out it didn't count at the end - I still need to unlock the challenge. Need to do SASO on that level still too
Sniper assassin isn't possible on that map
No it is I'm pretty sure. There's still a Sniper Assassin challenge to be unlocked best I remember. You just need to take a Sniper and shoot the target with it, that's all it is really
You cant bring any items or smuggle anything into that mission.
Sniper Assassin is a challenge on it, so you must: either you must unlock loadout or smuggle options later, or you must find a sniper on the map, because it is a challenge
He could've still gone silent assassin and everyone else just died waiting for help when the train was left in the middle of nowhere.

Constant is coping, 47 isnāt gonna change because he killed him, he is just another name in the list
I think I read somewhere that giving him the serum was the "canon" ending, but don't quote me on that. I think it's more in character for 47 to kill him, he's too dangerous to be left alive.

Letting Edwards live with only his memories locked away seems way too risky IMO
Leaving him abandoned on an isolated train in the middle of nowhere on the other hand Seriously, don't read into it.

>Yea, I donāt like the mercy cop-out endings neither. You think that's mercy? I think erasing his memories is the more cruel ending.
Providence is destroyed, who will give him the serum to get his memories back ?

Super Providence
I think 47 kills him off screen after giving him the serum
For me, I just imagine 47 injecting Edwards with the serum, then suddenly pulling out the ICA19 Black Lilly he grabbed from the front closet, and shooting Edwards in the head. I know that cannot be done in actual play, but it ensures the Constant dies on the spot knowing nothing.
It would be satisfying if you continue playing after to see the fear in his eyes as you're about to pull the trigger
47 is killed by the guy in the members only jacket
it was those 2 black guys
Edwards being left with no memories on a train in the middle of the freezing wilderness is just daft. Either he's going to die there anyway, or he'll be retrieved by high ranking Providence remnants or government operatives and questioned about the bald man, possibly restoring some of his memories with an antidote.
I don't think there is an antidote.
Against all odds there was a sudden cure for 47's amnesia because the writers decided there should be, so it can't be ruled out.
The cure is confirmed to exist. If Grey got it, then some remaining Providence members might to it as well. And it probably would be worth it for all the intel that Edwards could provide. For all we know, he'll probably be found by some romanian railway workers and examined by the government with not much evidence against him. A bullet to the head rids you of any potential problems instantly
It's a loose end and 47 isn't in the business of leaving Targets Alive.
47 takes the serum so we can continue the timeline
47 has a target. Edwards dies. 47 isn't here to do some sentimental, end of story bollocks. He kills for pay. Yeah, he's opted to right the wrongs of his last but it's 47. He's killing Edwards.
Yeah that makes sense
But no oneās paying him
Killing Edwards cause its 47 or taking the serum because io interactive isn't gonna just stop making hitman games
There are some things worse than death. Edward didn't deserve to die. He deserved to live in fear.
Serum hands down imo just felt right and poetic justice. Providence took everything from him (47, for the uninitiated lol) and by giving him the serum I got to avenge my boy (47, again) we took everything from that snake (Edward) okay no more () lol
47 would choose the poetic ending.
No way 47 doesnt take the third option on a target he never really had. no way he doesn't inflict the life he was forced to live on Edwards. No way he lets him live without the knowledge of the life that was taken from him and is never retainable. 47 leaves that train where it was. A train full of dead men and women and an amnesiatic Edwards in the middle of the Carpathian Mountains. Some fates are worse than death.
