- 13Use your Instinct to locate Basil drinking from a Bottle inside the other Apartment. Make a game save here.
Challenges:
- Energetic Guy: Find the Bottle on the counter, use Rat Poison on it. Return near the Local Security Guard's hiding spot and take the Battery. Enter 47's Apartment. Drop the Battery nearby and stay close to the Closet. When Basil gets sick and goes to the bathroom, and his Guard follows, place the Coin by the Closet to lure the Guard. Knock him out, dump him in the Closet. Enter the bathroom and knock out Basil. Drag him to the Sink and turn it on. Grab the Battery, close and re-open the bathroom door. Throw the Battery at Basil to kill him. Reload save.
- Keep Calm And Explode: Use Rat Poison on his Bottle again. Re-enter 47's Apartment as before, but leave the Battery. Knock out the Guard and Basil. Drop the Breaching Charge on Basil. Detonate the Charge to kill him. Reload save.
- Piano Man: Use the Measuring Tape on Basil instead of poison. Reload save.
- Let's Have A Little Basil Hunt: Do not poison the Bottle. Wait by the Closet. When Basil talks to his Guard, drinks from the Bottle, and goes to the balcony, sneak to the open window. Climb out and push him over to kill him. Reload save.
- Better Than Earl Grey: Use Lethal Poison on the Bottle. Run to the Main Street exit point and wait for Basil to die before leaving.
Tips
- The game save point after disguising as the Kashmirian's Guard is crucial for quickly attempting multiple challenges.
- Ensure you have the necessary items like the Lockpick, Remote Breaching Charge, Measuring Tape, Lethal Poison Pill Jar, Wrench, Car Battery, Emetic Rat Poison, and Coin before starting.
- Be mindful of Enforcers (NPCs who can see through disguises) when tailing Basil and his Guard.
- Use your Instinct (a mechanic that highlights NPCs and objects) to track targets and identify opportunities.
- Destroy Security Camera Recorders if you are seen to maintain a 'No Evidence' status.
