One of the best opportunities to eliminate Dalia Margolis in Hitman’s Paris mission “The Showstopper” is to lure her into a private meeting. Margolis waits on Level 3, where security is tight. Agent 47 can meet her by phone if he gets the right disguise and equipment.
This assassination opportunity is part of the mission story known as “15 Seconds of Fame.”
Finding Helmut Kruger’s Cell Phone
Players need to get Helmut Kruger’s cell phone, as it has Dalia Margolis’s number. Kruger can be found in The North Garden, where photographers are taking his picture near the helicopter.
Players must either knock out or eliminate Kruger to get his phone. Once Kruger is knocked out or eliminated, he drops the phone. Agent 47 can then pick it up.
Players can also disguise themselves as Kruger by taking his outfit after knocking him out or eliminating him. Even if Kruger’s body is discovered and he wakes up, he keeps his clothes. However, if Kruger is killed while wearing his outfit, his body is moved to the garden west of The North Garden, near the security guard’s shed.
For an easier way, players can get the Fireworks Remote Detonator from the Tech Crew table on Level 1. Blasting the fireworks near Kruger distracts all security guards and bodyguards. This makes it easier to deal with Kruger, take his disguise, and get his phone without raising any eyebrows.

Making the Call to Dalia Margolis
Once Helmut Kruger’s phone is in hand, players can call Dalia Margolis at any time and from anywhere on the map. Even if Agent 47 calls Dalia while disguised as Helmut Kruger and standing right in front of her, she does not react. She talks on the phone as usual, which some players may find amusing.
During the call, Dalia tells Agent 47, who she thinks is Kruger, that she wants to meet in the Voltaire Suite. This is on Level 3, next to the Auction Room. She also says Helmut must walk the runway first.

Walking the Catwalk in Paris
To meet Dalia, players must wear Kruger’s disguise and go to the Catwalk on Level 0. When Agent 47 gets close to the runway as Kruger, he can choose the “Walk the Catwalk” option.
Doing this lets Agent 47 go up to Level 3 without getting checked by security.
Meeting Dalia in the Voltaire Suite
After the catwalk, players can go up to Level 3. When Agent 47 enters the Voltaire Suite dressed as Helmut Kruger, Dalia’s bodyguards leave the room. She stays to talk to Kruger alone.
This is the perfect time for Agent 47 to eliminate Dalia Margolis without raising any eyebrows. It’s one of the most rewarding kills in the Paris mission.
While talking with Dalia, players might hear her discuss things about the IAGO auction. She may also call someone named “Ezra” to check Agent 47’s background, which talks about her being a Mossad agent. Dalia might even talk about plans to eliminate Viktor Novikov, showing how ruthless she is, even toward her lover.
Whether players choose to be quiet or loud, the “15 Seconds of Fame” mission story gives a great way to take out one of Hitman’s most complex targets.
Additional Trivia for Fun:
- Even though Dalia is a professional spy, she does not know Agent 47 even when he calls her as Helmut right in front of her.
- Dalia sometimes struggles to reboot the auction’s server if it crashes, even though she says she knows computers. This is a nod to voice actress Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who plays Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell.
