When we last left off, we took out The Iconoclast swiftly. Not the most elegant of assassinations, but nor was it the messiest, and it got the job done. With our remaining time, we continued our descent in the Seven Deadly Sins with the Season of Pride.
Let’s finish what we started!

I was never one for the Escalation missions in the new Hitman games if I’m being honest. I always thought they would take too much time and tries to be worth doing them.
Honestly, that’s probably still true. However, now that the Seven Deadly Sins content has given me a reason to do them on stream, I have a reason to keep at them every now and then. In doing so, I’ve started to notice my skill improving. Round 3 of the Pride Escalation brought that into focus, as I felt myself reading the map to quickly figure out the intended route through the mission.
Though I’ve also noticed a marked improvement in my skill just over the course of playing Hitman 3 and going for Map Mastery, to the point where I’m a lot more comfortable going to Silent Assassin: Suit Only runs than I’ve ever been before. The maps in Hitman 3 do a much better job signposting how we can sneak around through back entrances, pipes, ledges, and forms of terrain. This has helped me when going back to older maps from the first two games because it showed up what to look for.
I wasn’t expected to be done so early, and that’s as good an indicator of success as anything.
