Means, Motive and Opportunity is a Mission Story in Hitman 3 Dartmoor, England (Death in the Family quest). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of Hitman 3 Means, Motive and Opportunity. Learn how to figure out the murder mystery, investigate all locations of interest and find the correct murder suspect.
Follow the private investigator
First, climb over the broken wall on the right side and follow the investigator into the manor (hide in the bushes and climb through window to the right of main entrance).
Disguise yourself as the private investigator
Take him down silently when he’s stopping in the corridor. You can store his body in a closet at the end of the corridor, just keep the doors on the side of the corridor shut so nobody sees you dragging him.
Meet Alexa Carlisle in the Foyer
Go meet Alexa in the Foyer (while disguised as the investigator).
Follow Mr. Fernsby
Follow Mr. Fernsby the Butler. He leads you upstairs to Zachary’s room, the guy who died.
Investigate Zachary’s Bedroom
Investigate all clues in this room (also equip your camera to take photos of the corpse in the bed and the glasses on the nightstand to the right of the bed). You can see photograph clues on the map (press Touchpad).
Ask Mr. Fernsby for more information
When you’re done investigating the room, return to Mr. Fernsby who should be in the entrance hall downstairs.
Question suspects and search locations of interest
How to Question all Suspects:
This is the complicated part. You must interview people around the house, they are all found on the ground floor (Level 0 on the map). You can see what they look like and who you’ve interviewed under “Intel Tab” > “Suspects” (remember what they are wearing to spot them easily).
There are 5 Suspects: Gregory Carlisle, Edward Carlisle, Rebecca Carlisle, Emma Carlisle, Patrick Carlisle.
Just go around all rooms on the ground floor. The people you can interrogate have a green icon above their head, which are the family members. Patrick is in Library, Gregory in Sitting Room, Edward in Dining Room, Rebecca walks between Trophy Room & Sitting Room. Emma is the trickiest, she will sometimes show up in the Sitting Room where you talk to Gregory. Just wait near Gregory until she shows up and complains to him.
How to Search Locations of Interest:
The “Locations of Interest” are all tracked under the “Intel” tab. Simply complete all of them. The room names get marked on the map when you have reached them. An easy way to enter locked rooms is to get the crowbar from behind the greenhouse (outside), then use the crowbar on locked doors.
Hint: Remember that camera scan clues are marked on the map with a camera icon! When you’ve entered a room with clues, open the map to locate these camera clues more easily.
Zachary’s Bedroom (6 Clues) – the room where the Butler brought you in previous step:
- Zachary’s Body (scan with camera)
- Whisky Glass and Bottle (scan with camera)
- Zachary’s Suicide Note
- Zachary’s Laptop
- Secret Room
- Mansion Floor Plan
Emma and Gregory’s Room (4 Clues) – on Level 1 in the north-west wing, use Crowbar to open door:
- Letter From Emma’s Mother
- Greenhouse Key Chain
- Bulldog Cane
- Shoes and Footprins (scan with camera, on the floor)
Rebecca’s Room (2 Clues) – on Level 1 in south-east wing, use Crowbar to open or enter via secret room through small office:
- Rebecca’s Notebook (scan with camera, on table)
- Rebecca’s Laptop
Mr. Fernsby’s Office (3 Clues) – on Level 0, to the right (east) of the Foyer:
- Zachary’s Half-Burnt Diary
- Mr. Fernsby’s List
- Mr. Fernsby’s Pills
The Greenhouse (2 Clues) – outside garden area, use Crowbar to break open door:
- Lab Equipment
- Poison Dosage Table (scan with camera, to the right of the lab equipment on table)
Report to Mr. Fernsby
After you’ve talked to all suspects and investigated all clues listed above, the objective in the top left corner should change and you must return to the Butler in the Foyer. Talk to him to say that you’re done with your investigation.
Follow Mr. Fernsby
The Butler will now lead you to Alexa upstairs in her office. You can pass by the guards safely while he escorts you. The “Means, Motive and Opportunity” story path will already be complete here.
Now sit down in the chair in front of Alexa to report your findings.
There are 3 dialogue choices:
- Accuse Emma > she is the real murderer
- Accuse Mr. Fernsby
- Accuse Zachary
Afterward you can ask for a reward. The easiest option is to ask for the case file for your reward. Then she opens the safe for you automatically. Grab the case file and wait for her to walk outside to the balcony. Walk after her and push her over the railing for an “accidental death”.
Alternatively, you can get the case file by clicking the switch on the arm of her chair. This reveals a safe behind a painting, in the same room. The safe combination is 1975 (normally you’d have to figure this out by looking at the 4 symbols above the save and finding the clock, telescope, fire, moose around the manor which each have a number on the wall).
Escape the area to finish your playthrough.
This finishes the Means, Motive and Opportunity Mission Story Path in Hitman 3 Dartmoor and solves the Murder Mystery.
