    This can be easily done on the Escalation contract, called "The Sigma Illusion". You'd need to do the mission five times, each time with an increasingly difficult complication. For Level 5, the conditions are:

    - Kill the chef with melee
    - Hack the laptop on Level 6 of the mansion
    - Hide all dead bodies with 90 seconds
    - Do not pacify anyone
    - Guards see through own disguises

    Completing the steps below will fulfil all the above. You can basically repeat the steps for all levels of the mission if you so desire.

    Planning:
    - Start at the location "Undercover as Security Staff"
    - Swap the coin out for a lock pick

    Once mission begins, exit blend (cn_B), and run very quickly to your right, then left, and then head into the doors at the end of the path. The guards will get suspicious, but just ignore them, and keep running. They won't chase if you disappear quickly.

    In the room, go to the laptop, and hack it with cn_Y. Wait 20 seconds for the hacking sequence to complete. Unlock the door right beside the laptop with your lock pick. Escape through the next room, and climb through the windows.

    Run towards the dome-shaped structure, and drop down to the level below. Enter the first door on your left, and you'll be in the observatory area. Head towards the stairs, and take one level down. Enter Francesca's room (this is where you seduce, and poison her if you follow the Golf Coach opportunity), and climb through the toilet window.

    You'll now be near the outdoor dining area beside the kitchen (this is where you poison Caruso if you follow the kitchen hand opportunity), and your target should be walking towards the cliffs if you're doing it right. Sneak past the guards, get behind the chef, and subdue him by holding cn_X. When the prompt to snap his neck appears, press cn_Y to do so. Take his disguise, and dump him into the nearby container.

    You can now make a run for the exit. It should take around three minutes to do all the above if you're familiar with the mission. I've played through it several times, and this should be the fastest way to fulfil all the conditions for the contract.

    Here's a video of the above - apologies for the long loading screen in between. I recorded it with Xbox DVR, and the game does take forever to load. You can skip to 1:48, which is where the mission actually begins.


    PS: If you want to get a higher score, you can try to out run the earlier guards even faster so as to avoid a suspicion. You can also avoid the CCTV near where you kill the chef by sneaking and hugging the left walls. Take note also that when escaping, there's another CCTV to the left wall of the two guards near the red car - hug the left wall, and sneak run to the bushes near the two guards at the main door to avoid this. I replayed the mission ensuring that I did these, and ended up with over 189,000 points.

    Update May 20th, 2016:

    I've added a new video below for another easy mission to complete 5. The mission is "The Scarlatti Covenent".


    Conditions:
    - Kill Geovani Anselmi in the Priest Disguise
    - Kill Fabio Pavione with an explosive
    - Complete the mission in three minutes
    - No pacifications
    - Do not be caught on CCTV, or erase all evidences if caught

    Preparation:
    - Start at Church Morgue
    - Swap the Coin out for a Lockpick
    - Swap the Fibre Wire out for a Proximity Bomb
    - Leave a Proximity Explosive Duck at the ICA Pick-up in the Sewers

    Enjoy.

    RDSAlternatively, if you're struggling with the neck snap timing, you can cut through the observatory instead and grab one of the knives near the plague doctor outfit, then slit the chef's throat from behind.

    crewdyScarlatti Covenant is embarrassingly easy once you’ve got the route down. Finished it in 2:10!! Cheers 🤙

    xHeadHunterrzScarlatti Covenant can be done even easier and faster, do the same thing as in the video up untill you get the Priest outfit, but then, instead of going into the sewers, head back upstairs, take a right at the top, and another right so you end up at the backdoor of the church.
    Go outside, whip out a silenced pistol, and if you were fast enough, no one will see you and the second target will still be sitting on a bench in front of you.
    Headshot him, turn around and jump down the little ledge next to the church, onto the pier. Go around, get into the boat, et voila, managed to finish level 5 in 1:21 this way.

    Here are all level 5 Escalations which are currently available for the Sapienza location. Escalations are basicly contracts with different difficulties and levels. Each escalation has 5 levels and level 5 is always the highest difficulty in this series.

    There is one achievement for the Escalation contracts / missions. To get the achievement you have to complete one escalation from level 1 to level 5. My video guides show you level 5 of the specific escalation and you can also use the same strategy for level 1-4. I complete all escalations with a 5 star rating and always as silent assassin with perfect stealth.

    The currently easiest Escalation in Sapienza is The Szilassi Darkness Escalation. You can complete level 5 in under 2 minutes. The Sigma Illusion, The Scorpio Directive and The Selmone Mimesis are also very short and easy.

    In the spoilers are the videos and the objectives for level 5 of the specific escalation.

    Escalation: The Sigma Illusion
    Level 5 Conditions:
    - Hack the laptop in the mansion
    - Eliminate Chef Marcello Ray in Melee
    - Do NOT pacify anyone (kills are allowed)
    - Hide all dead bodies within 90 seconds
    - Bodyguards see through their own disguises
    Recommended Spawn: Undercover as Security Staff
    Recommended Gear: Lockpick + Fiber Wire

    NOTE: Use the same method for all 5 levels of the escalation. The method meets all the terms for level 5, which includes the same terms from all the levels before it.


    As soon as the mission starts, stop blending in, turn right and go down the balcony to the last room. Enter the room, and hack the laptop. From here, exiting using the door behind the laptop (lockpick required), jump onto the roof, go across and jump down near the telescope dome. Go inside the door, down the stairs and out the door near the courtyard between the telescope room and the kitchen. Wait for the chef to walk across the courtyard, down the short steps, and along the grass ledge. Once he passes the dumpster, garrote him, disguise yourself as him and immediately hide his body. From here, run to the plaza and enter the white car to exit the mission.

    BegFourMercyYeah, this is perfect and so easy. Down voting should actually be for a real reason.
