Anathema is the second mission in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. It is 47's first mission after he returns from his retirement. After realising his friend, Father Emilio Vittorio, was taken hostage by Giuseppe Guillani, 47 tracks him down in an attempt to save the priest.
Target: Giuseppe Guillani
Mission Briefing
Entrance To The Villa
- This mutual arrangement we made to rescue your friend and mentor Father Vittorio means you will have to take care of a number of mafia members residing at the Villa Borghese, where he is kept hostage in the basement.
- Prime target is Don Guillani. Security is not exactly lax - plenty of guards roaming the mansion compound. However, don't expect to free Vittorio just like that.
- The Don is running a tight ship, and if alarmed he will probably kill the hostage and escape.
- They are used to people coming to pay respect, ransoms or bribes - but they are alerted by unusual activities. Check out the map we have of the grounds. Buena Fortuna, 47!
