In the Paris mission of Hitman: World of Assassination, one of your objectives is to eliminate Dalia Margolis, who is attending a covert auction on the top floor of Palais de Walewska. A cinematic and stealthy way to reach her is by impersonating fashion model Helmut Kruger. This method allows Agent 47 to call Dalia and meet her privately in her suite. Here’s how to complete this sequence step-by-step.
Finding Helmut Kruger
Your first objective is to find Helmut Kruger. He’s outside in the garden by the river, near the helicopter pad. He’ll be talking to his agent and strolling by a stylist’s station.
To approach him without drawing attention, fit in with the group or dress up as one of the crew. After he heads to a remote place at the back of the garden to take a phone call, it’s time to knock him out. After knocking him out, take his uniform and pick up his phone on the ground. Do not forget to hide his body in the nearby box so that no one will notice.
Optional Step: Fireworks Distraction
In case security at Kruger is too strict, you may stage a diversion by activating the fireworks display. Begin by locating the fireworks remote detonator on a tech crew table within the palace (usually in the area of the northern first floor). When turned on, guards will be distracted, providing a less vulnerable chance to reach Kruger without being noticed.
Calling Dalia Margolis
With Kruger in disguise and phone at hand, go to your inventory and call Dalia using the phone. She will answer and offer to meet you in the Voltaire Suite on the top floor. But she will only do so after Helmut finishes his stint on the catwalk.
Walking the Catwalk
Head to the dressing room on the lower level and have the stylist complete Kruger’s signature style, including makeup. From there, proceed to the entrance of the catwalk. Walk the runway as Helmut Kruger—this experience not only provides cinematic flair but also gives you unfettered access to the upper floors, including the auction and Dalia’s private chambers.
Meeting Dalia in the Voltaire Suite
After your catwalk, go to the third floor. Your guards will then know you as Kruger and won’t try to stop you. Go to the Voltaire Suite, next to where the auction will take place. When you enter, Dalia will come a little later and send her guards away for a private talk.
This is your ideal chance to kill her undisturbed. Once you’ve done the deed, you can run or move on to kill your second target, Viktor Novikov.
Asking Dalia Margolis to call Helmut Kruger is not only one of the most refined kills in the Paris mission, but a wonderful way to appreciate the richness of Hitman’s mission narratives. It takes planning, timing, and a dash of flair. If you’re a fan of cinematic stealth, this path is strongly suggested.
