Got it, the classic “instant vanish” trick. Open the pause menu, wait for that one frame where the guard’s sprite is still rendering but the AI has already updated its state. Drop down into a quick menu, hit the “save” shortcut, then reload. The guard’s physics body lags, so you dash past with their corpse still on the map. Works best when you’re already inside a cutscene frame – just hit the pause and *boom*, they’re gone. Try it during a heavy fog effect for extra cover. If that doesn’t do the trick, switch to a totally different level with the same guard AI; the memory gets re‑initialized and they’re essentially “offline” for a second. Just remember, the game only notices you when you actually press a button, so timing is everything. Happy hunting!
