Below are the achievements for Hitman Absolution, along with the number of achievement points you’ll receive and a summary on how to get each achievement.

Hitman Absolution Achievement List:
There are 46 achievements with a total of 1000 points.

Grand Master (150)

You completed 100 challenges

All in all there are 278 challenges in the game. In order to unlock this achievement you will have to complete at least 100. This shouldn’t be hard as far as a greater part of those challenges will come to your naturally. But challenges themselves are divided on different groups: level specific challenges, and challenges that are universal for each mission. Though, you need to remember that this cannot be obtained on Easy difficulty. For more information you should check out this post.

Reach for the Stars (50)

You completed 50 challenges

This achievement is nothing more but the “Grand Master” achievement except that here you won’t have to try that hard. Complete 50 challenges and get your 50G points. For more information you should check out this post.

The Russian Hare (20)

You performed 47 headshots using a sniper rifle

Hey, you are a professional killer – this shouldn’t be hard for you. Just do your job from the long distance and rather sooner than later you will leave 47 bodies on the ground with a hole in every of them. Of course, for that matter you will need a sniper rifle. Luckily, thanks to the game concept, you will be able to choose a killing method to your liking and if you prefer killing people with a rifle – no one will stop you. To make things simpler, you can slow down time and get headshots easily by holding “RT” button lightly. When you have a clear shot – pull it fully.

A Taste for the Game (20)

You completed 10 challenges

This is very easy. Really. Out of 278 challenges in the game you have to compete 10 only. More like a child game than a challenge. For more information you should check out this post.

Absolution (50)

You completed Hitman: Absolution™ as a professional

All in all there are 5 difficulties in Hitman Absolution and you can choose whatever you feel like playing. But, you need to remember that the higher the difficulty – the better the prize. For instance, you won’t be able to complete challenges when playing on Easy level. Well, in order to unlock this achievement, you will have to finish the whole game playing on Harder or higher difficulty because Easy and Normal do not count as “Professional.” The good news that you won’t have to complete all the missions in a row on Hard difficulty. As far as before every mission you will be offered to choose difficulty level, you can finish one on Easy first and then improve your skills playing on Hard, Expert or Purist. But, in professional modes you won’t have player activated checkpoints and enemies will have better than average reaction times.

Jack of All Trades (30)

You collected all 20 play styles

There is a variety of things you can do with bad guys in the game. For us, regular people, it’s called methods but professionals call them “styles”. In total, there are 20 Hitman play styles that you need to discover during the game. They are not hard to get and mostly will come naturally, also, a great number of styles can be obtained in China Town (just keep this in mind). Now, as for the styles themselves:
1. Needle Pumper: use Syringes to kill 5 people at least. This should be made while hiding somewhere from you enemy. Get from behind and inject poison in your target. By the way, you will find a syringe in the mission "Rosewood". It is right by the first fuse you must collect as part of an objective.
2. Undertaker: as always – this will be fun: hide at least 5 bodies and become an Undertaker.
3. Piano Man: I bet you did see that coming: kill 5 people with the garrot (your wire) via stealth.
4. Reaper Man: your task is to kill 8 enemies with Point Shooting. This can be easily done in China Town. Civilians will be counted and shotguns can also be used for Point Shooting.
5. Sandman: this will come naturally, probably even faster than you can imagine. Subdue 3 people and become a Sandman.
6. Dynasty Warrior: I know that you’re not a Samurai but you will have to kill 9 enemies using Katana.
7. Dynamite Harry: Explosioooooon! Kill 5 people with remote explosives. There is nothing easier than that and, as it was mentioned before, the best place for this kind of maneuver is China Town. Here’s what you can do: in the first Chinatown you come across on the second level. You will find explosives in the alley, right on the left, near a yellow car. Now find a little crowd, throw the explosives in the middle and use remote detonator to make at least five people disappear (if you know what I mean).
8. Gunslinger: classy killers kill their enemies with classy weapon. You. Revolver. 15 bodies. I hope I’ve made myself clear.
9. Bartender: ye, I won’t mind to have a drink myself but, unfortunately, bartenders like you do not serve drinks. Your task is to kill 5 enemies with bottles. You will find it easy to complete on the mission “Welcome to Hope” as far as you from the very beginning you will appear in a bar with tons of bottles. Now, all you have to do is to go into the bathroom and flip the lever. This will cause a bar fight. Grab bottles and attack enemies with them.
10. Champion: this play style requires you to kill 5 people with your bare hands. It actually seems to be easier than it sounds: in China Town walk into a crowded location and just keep pressing the “X” button. Your character will instantly kill anyone that is close to him.
11. Berserker: I’ve always wanted to be a firefighter but it looks like assassins earn more. Though, there is a great solution: use Fire Axe to kill 5 enemies and become a Berserker.
12. Brutus: 5 stealth kills with knives. Keep things quite, hide, wait, kill, get rid of the body. Do it for 5 times in total and become Brutus.
13. Viking: use blunt weapon and kill 5 enemies. And again – China Town might be a good place to show your barbarian skills (“Hunter and the Hunted” mission). When you get in there, stick to your left until you get to stairs leading down. You should find a sledgehammer by a trash can. Now go and have some fun: kill people in the crowds or police with them. But remember one thing – you need to hit and not to choke them with your blunt weapon.
14. Tank: Take damage 20 times. Should come naturally. And it will. Especially, on harder difficulties.
15. Pitcher: find something that has great aerodynamics, like a knife, an axe or a screwdriver, hide somewhere so no one can see you and wait for the target. When your victim walks nearby, throw whatever you have in your hands and kill the bad guy remaining undetected. Make sure you do the very same with 4 more targets.
16. Spook: there is nothing better than to do things nice and easy. Get a gun with a silencer, hide and wait until someone comes by, aim and shoot in the head. Get 3 kills undetected. I’m pretty sure this will come to your naturally.
17. Jinx: get 2 kills via accidents. Well, we all know how it sounds: killers do not look for accidents, they create them. Luckily, you will have a great number of possibilities to make everything look like it was an accident.
18. Maestro: kill 5 enemies with a sniper rifle via headshots in a row. As long as you know how to use a sniper rifle, this should be pretty easy. The only advice here – do not hurry. Take your time, aim and shoot. Search for the other target, aim and shoot.
19. Glass Cannon: Get 3 shotgun kills while remaining undamaged. There is a great possibility that you are going to collect this style in a crowd with lots of civilians because this is the easiest way to get things done. If you get lucky, you can even kill 3 targets with one shot.
20. Bank Robber: Use 3 human shields without killing them. The best way to do that is to get in a crowded area. Grab someone that you think deserves a little shock therapy and press “A”. This will let you to use the person as a human shield. Now quickly press the “X” button to knock him\her out. This will help you to prevent the person form dying and at the same time it will count as a used shield, so to speak.

It's All in the Wrist (50)

You successfully performed a lethal throw

Before you start unlocking this achievement you will have to remember that this can be obtained in any mission except Personal Contract one. The rest seems to be easy. The best way to do this is Mission 2: The King of Chinatown. You will find knives near the chefs. Pick up one and choose a person you want to kill. Press and hold “LT” and aim properly. When you see a red circle, press “RT” to throw your knife or whatever you have. If you aim to throw in the head, your target should be illuminated instantly. Zing – 50G points are yours.

Information is Power (30)

You collected all evidence

Well, this will take a while. All in all there are 45 pieces of evidence in the game and, of course, your task is to collect them all. Do not forget to check the in-game tracker: it will tell you what evidence you have collected and on which levels. You can also view what section of the level has evidence and if you have obtained it or not from the main menu in the challenges section or in the challenges screen during levels.

Welcome to Hope Evidence

Get inside the bunker and you will find the evidence there.

Shaving Lenny Evidence

Evidence 26. Decontamination.
During the game process you will enter the room that says "Showers". When inside, keep going until you reach another small room. Before you enter it, keep in mind that there are 3 guards inside. Well, get prepared, kill them all and when everything calms down, check a small table for evidence.

Fight Night Evidence
Evidence 28. Patriot's Hangar.

Skurky's Law Evidence
Evidence 33. Courthouse.
When the level starts, turn around and go into the room with a sculpture in it. Just keep going left and rather sooner than later you are going to enter the Security Room. On a table near the wall you will spot the evidence.
Evidence 34. Holding Cell.
The good news is that Holding Cells are pretty small which means it will be easier for you to spot the evidence. Now, once you come to a metal door with a red warning sign you will naturally try to pickpocket it. Leave that for later and instead look for the evidence on the tables to your left.
Evidence 35. Prison.
Open the prison gate and go downstairs. Now, you will have to find a very small room. It will be on the right side of the corridor. One of the main characteristics for this room is that it’s dark inside. Enter the room and you will find the evidence next to a dumpster.

Operation Sledgehammer Evidence
Evidence 36. County Jail.

Evidence 37. Outgunned.
First of all you will have to deal with all the attackers. When done killing, go downstairs and you will see a big black SWAT vehicle. Near the vehicle there is a black box. The evidence you’re looking for is on that box.
Evidence 38. Burn.
When you enter a room completely covered by a smoke screen it will mean that you came to the right place. You will see that there is a lot of wood stored out there. But the one closest to the exit has the evidence on it.
Evidence 39. Hope Fair.
When outside you will see lots of people running away. I do believe that the reason why they’re running away is somehow connected with your actions :) Well, don’t mind them! You will appear in the market square area and you task is to reach the end of this market. Stick to the right side, the one that has all the destroyed cars. You will spot the evidence on some boxes to the right side of the area.

Blackwater Park Evidence
Evidence 40. Blackwater Park Grounds.
Start the level and from the very beginning keep moving to the right wall. You will have to run in that direction for a minute or so until you reach the end of the road. If you see a car and a small guardhouse it means that you’re there. Enter the guardhouse and the video tape evidence will be there.
Evidence 41. Penthouse.
Enter Penthouse and go left. Move in that direction until you reach an exhibition room with samurai armors and dinosaur skeletons. Keep it in mind that there will be lots of guards. But the thing you’re looking for is on the left side of the room, lying on the sofa.

Countdown Evidence
Evidence 42. Blackwater.
Once you got upstairs, go to the end of the area where your main objective, the helipad, can be seen. In the room under the helipad you will find a special key. Now, go back to the place you came from but do not walk downstairs. Look around and search for the door that needs a special key to be opened. You will find the evidence in that room.

Thumbs Up (20)

You liked a contract

Well, this is pretty easy. First, go into “Contract Mode”. Now choose “Quickplay” and pick any contract from the sets available. If you want things to flow easily, you should pick a friend's challenge. Play the contract and finish it successfully. When done you will notice the “Like” feature. Press the “Y” button and “Like” the contract you just finished. Well, you can dislike it as well but by doing that you won’t be able to open the achievement and like this particular contract ever again and secondly – you will have to play another contract in order to get the “Like” possibility.

Damage Control (20)

You contained a situation gone bad

As far as this achievement can only be obtained after the first level, you need to pay a certain attention if you plan not to miss it. But if you do, try to load the mission again and do what you haven’t done before. Now, as for the achievement itself: your task is to cause chaos within the area. Luckily, this can be done pretty easy. Just run around and be as careless as possible: shoot people, do not hide bodies and make sure that your actions have been seen by lots of people. If you do it right (really hard to make something wrong in here), enemies will become hostile and will start attacking you. Get a good spot and kill all the enemies that are after you and when things get back to normal, you will get your 20G points. And, of course, the best way to do this is with a low amount of enemies around.

Set for Life (20)

You earned 1 million contracts dollars

The only complicated thing about this achievement is that you will have to spend some time in order to collect the whole million. There are contracts that will bring your lots of cash and at the same time there are those that require some serious effort and are not actually worth being taken care off. But, you are a killer and you do what you have to do. You can earn money by playing tutorials or through quickplays but you can’t keep replaying the same contract to gain money.
The first nice place to earn 100 000 in a few minutes is China Town. When you exit the doors, mark 2 chefs and use Point Shooting on them. Now, exit the door on your right. If you play good, it might take under a minute to complete.
The second nice method to earn even more is to play Mansion Ground Floor (the first level). In the mission hide behind the basket to your left and let the guards pass. When they come down the stairs, sneak fast, go upstairs, garrote the guard at the balcony and put the guard in the basket in the bathroom. Now just run to the exit on the balcony. If you do everything quickly and right, you will finish the mission with a simple garrote kill, bodies hidden and unseen. For this performance you might get around $350,000 which is 1/3 of the sum you need to earn. As for the rest – think fast, kill clean and act calm.

Self-improvement (20)

You bought an upgrade for a weapon

With the help of weapon upgrade you will be able to refresh your favorite guns and items and make them perform better which means a lot for a killer like you. For completing missions you will be awarded with money. Use it to buy an upgrade and unlock the achievement. Go to “Unlocks” section > “Safehouse” > Choose “Weapon” > move to “Silverballer” until you see a money sign on the third icon in upgrade slots > Press the “A” button and enjoy your achievement.

First Contract (20)

You completed the Creating Contracts Tutorial

Here’s what you need to do:
1. Highlight the Contracts mode at the Start Screen and Enter it;
2. Scroll down to Tutorials and choose "Creating Contracts";
3. Complete the tutorial.
Enjoy your achievement.
Creating Contracts Tutorial teaches you how to create contracts for other players and when you’re done, you can actually send your newly created contract and unlock "Competitive Spirit" as a pleasant addition.

Blood Money (20)

You completed the Contract Basics Tutorial

Here’s what you need to do:
1. Highlight the Contracts mode at the Start Screen and Enter it;
2. Scroll down to Tutorials and choose "Contract Basics";
3. Complete the tutorial.
Contract Basics tutorial will teach you how to finish a contract that has been created. To make things easier, I would recommend playing through the prologue first. This will help you to get familiar with the new mechanics as far as Contracts only detail the mode itself, and not game basics.

True Potential (20)

You unlocked a technique

The good news is that you can unlock this achievement on any level. The unlocking technique is pretty simple as well: have a high score at the end of a level's checkpoint. Also, you do not have to be afraid that you miss something as far as the game itself will notify you if the level checkpoint grants you a technique and if so, what score is needed to obtain it.

Partners in Crime (20)

You played a contract made by a friend

This achievement is easy to get as long as you have a friend to play with. And even if you don’t – there is also a way out, so – do not worry.
1. Add someone on the Hitman absolution boosting list as a friend;
2. Wait for the person to accept your invitation;
3. From the main menu select “Contracts”;
4. Then select “Quick Play”;
5. Then select “From Friends”.
The best thing is that you do not even have to play the game itself unless you need money. By the way, you and your friend can do this at the same time but both of you will have to create contracts beforehand.

Competitive Spirit (20)

You created a contract competition

Enter “Contract Mode” and create a contract. If you’ve finished the tutorial, this won’t be hard to do for you. Also, the game actually lets you use what you created as a competition afterwards, so, pick a friend or friends and send out the invitation.

Contender (20)

You participated in a contract competition

In the “Contract Mode” you will find competitions that can be played with the possibility of inviting several people. In order to unlock this achievement you will have to participate in one. Go to “Compete” menu and look at the challenges you’ve been invited to. Obviously, you will need a friend to send you an invitation but if you do not have one who enjoys playing as 47, check Xbox forums for the inspired gamers.

One With the Shadows (20)

You escaped the attention of an enemy

As far as this achievement can only be obtained after the first level, you need to pay a certain attention if you plan not to miss it. But if you do, try to load the mission again and do what you haven’t done before. Now, as for the achievement itself: your task is to cause chaos within the area. Luckily, this can be done pretty easy. Just run around and be as careless as possible: shoot people, do not hide bodies and make sure that your actions have been seen by lots of people. If you do it right (really hard to make something wrong in here), enemies will become hostile and will start attacking you. Get a good spot and kill all the enemies that are after you and when things get back to normal, you will get your 20G points. And, of course, the best way to do this is with a low amount of enemies around.
Also, as a good alternative, you can do this in Mission 3: Terminus. Go to the left of the hotel doors and down the ladder. There are only 2 people down there. Kill them openly and then hide until you get the achievement.

Silent Assassin (20)

You achieved Silent Assassin

The very first mission you can get this one is Mission 2: The King of China Town as far as this achievement can’t be completed in the prologue. Now, to the right of the area where your target is, you will find a place with chefs who are selling food. Get closer to them and search for a chef with the red apron. This will be a female. Right behind her you will see a strange and, probably, stinky dish made of poisonous fish. When the chef turns around to do some cooking stuff, grab the fish and walk away. Get back a little by going North and approach 2 chefs and a police guard. Sneak in and near the garbage you will find the disguise. Walk to the middle area where the target has likely left, make sure that no one’s looking, poison his coffee and walk away. Rather sooner than later he will come back and finish his coffee which, of course, will kill him. Now, you are free to exit and finish the mission. Also, if you do everything right, you will get the whole set of unexpected and useful presents including "Inconspicuous" and "Whoops" achievements (of course, if you haven’t got them already).

Inconspicuous (20)

You remained undetected throughout a checkpoint

In order to unlock this achievement you can play any mission you want (except the prologue). Every mission has different areas that act as main checkpoints. Your task is to walk through the entire area without ever being spotted. If you do everything right, this achievement will unlock upon the next checkpoint or completing the level (in case there was none after). If you are inpatient and want to complete this as fast as possible, the first opportunity will come to you with the Mission 2: The King of Chinatown. To the right of the area where your target is, you will find a place with chefs who are selling food. Get closer to them and search for a chef with the red apron. This will be a female. Right behind her you will see a strange and, probably, stinky dish made of poisonous fish. When the chef turns around to do some cooking stuff, grad the fish and walk away. Get back a little by going North and approach 2 chefs and a police guard. Sneak in and near the garbage you will find the disguise. Walk to the middle area where the target has likely left, make sure that no one’s looking, poison his coffee and walk away. Rather sooner than later he will come back and finish his coffee which, of course, will kill him. Now, you are free to exit and finish the mission. You will also get a “Silent Assassin” achievement described above.

Whoops (20)

You made a kill look like an accident

The fastest way you can unlock this one is Mission 2: The King of Chinatown. In the previous achievements like “Inconspicuous” or “Silent Assassin” one of the possible methods of killing your target silently was described. Luckily, there are other ways that will help you to make everything look like an accident: dress up as a chef and wait until your target comes to eat something or follow him to the storage hole and push down when no one’s looking. Show some creativity!

One of the Guys (20)

You blended in and fooled someone

This is an easy one and, as most of the achievements, can be obtained in Mission 2: The King of China town. Walk into the crowded area that is not far from the main target. Walk to a stand with food and you will see a plate full of sushi. Grab the menu and start studying it. Your character will start looking at it and will blend in. Thanks to the fact that police and the main target are around, you will get it by all means. Also, sometimes achievement like this can be unlocking in a very special kind of way. Check out the video for more details.

[video=youtube;qyDQpvrT1mE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qyDQpvrT1mE[/video]

Rocksteady (20)

You executed a point shooting with at least 3 kills

You can get that as soon as you start playing Mission 2 but you will have to have instinct to use point shooting. This can actually be obtained on almost any level but to make things look easy, we will describe a situation in your favorite China Town. So, from the very beginning of the game head to the place where your target is. There will be three policemen and the target itself. When they are done talking, press and hold the “RB” button and press “X”. Now aim precisely for 3 headshots on the enemies by holding “LT” to aim and “RT” to tag targets. When you are ready, press the “X” button again and your character will illuminate all three targets. Now it might be a good idea to run away and hide. Reload your checkpoint if something goes wrong.

Under Wraps (20)

You hid a body

While this can’t be done in the prologue, any other mission is at your disposal. As a matter of fact, this is pretty much scenario related and if you do not want to get caught, you should hide at least one body. In every mission there are special places like boxes, barrels, holes and else, where you can hide a corpse. After you kill or knock out an enemy, drag him to the proper place by pressing and holding the “B” button. Lead them to one of these containers (or whatever it is) and press “Y” to put the body inside.

Sandman (20)

You subdued a person

As always, this can’t be unlocked while playing the very first prologue mission “Personal Contract”. But in other missions you would probably like to use this technique a lot as far as this is one of the nonlethal ways to take enemies down. Have your bare hands equipped and sneak up behind so that your target has no idea you are behind. When close enough press “X”. Now press the “X” button as quickly as possible and in a few seconds your target will end up lying on the ground unconscious but alive. As far as this is not a lethal way to disable a person, this can be done to enemies as well as civilians that you can disguise yourself as.

Secret Achievements

Heavy Burden (10)

You infiltrated the mansion and assassinated Diana Burnwood

Story related, can't be missed. The very first mission of the game is nothing more but a tutorial. Well, you will have to show some assassin technique but in
general everything will flow naturally. Of course, you can complete the first mission and unlock the achievement the way you think is best but here are some tips and tricks I used to end up quick and fast.
- The guard to your left can be avoided easily. Just let him join the Head of Security (HoS) in the other room;
- I decided to go to the bathroom that can be found across from the stairs and behind the guard at the balcony and took some sleeping pills. After that I went back downstairs and waited behind the cover for the guard and chef to finish talking;
- Now through the kitchen I walked to the bar and carefully drugged the coffee on the bar. If everything goes as planned, HoS will pick it up and will walk away to “feel himself comfortable in a chair”;
- Afterwards I followed the guard and while my “blend” power was not active, I simply made my way past them all quickly without being noticed and walked through the door the guard used previously.
- Stole Keycard from HoS and hid the body in the nearby closet;
- Then I got back up the stairs and by that time the guard was gone;
- I got to the balcony and unlocked the door with the key.
- made my way to the target, did what I had to do and left to unlock the achievement.
But, of course, you can do whatever you find suits your style best.

Kingslayer (10)

You fulfilled Birdie's contract and eliminated The King of Chinatown


Story related, can't be missed. The King of Chinatown is the game's first "open world" assassination, where 47 has a large open area and about a half dozen ways to murder his target. Though, there are some special methods that will help you to do things fast and unlock a couple of other achievements. Here’s one of them:
- to the right of the area where your target is, you will find a place with chefs who are selling food. Get closer to them and search for a chef with the red apron. This will be a female. Right behind her you will see a strange and, probably, stinky dish made of poisonous fish. When the chef turns around to do some cooking stuff, grad the fish and walk away. Get back a little by going North and approach 2 chefs and a police guard. Sneak in and near the garbage you will find the disguise. Walk to the middle area where the target has likely left, make sure that no one’s looking, poison his coffee and walk away. Rather sooner than later he will come back and finish his coffee which, of course, will kill him. Now, you are free to exit and finish the mission. Also, if you do everything right, you will get the whole set of unexpected and useful presents including "Inconspicuous" and "Whoops" achievements (of course, if you haven’t got them already).

Chamber of Secrets (10)

You located the hotel room number 899

Story related, can't be missed. “Terminus” is said to be the first “hard” chapter in the gameplay, mostly because you won’t be allowed to use disguise. Well,
you can use it but at the same time you won’t be able to complete the Suit Only challenge and you will have to restart the entire mission. It may sound confusing but the best way to complete this achievement is to go the shortest way. The less actions you do, the less suspicious you look. Also, if for some reason the achievement has not unlocked but you played the mission for sure, you can do the following: play a “Quick play”. It will be under Level Select > Terminus > Upper Floors. Enjoy the video guide.

Catch a Ride (10)

You boarded the train and escaped the Chicago PD

Story related, can't be missed. Those who have been following Hitman Absolution release will be surprised to see that “Run For Your Life” mission is actually
based on the demo available on the Xbox 360 beforehand. But, while you will find a greater part of the mission familiar, there are things that not only look but actually happen to be different. As for the mission itself, it is possible to finish it without being detected which will let you to complete the “Infiltrator” challenge and without taking a disguise that will transform into “Suit Only” challenge. But, at the same time if you plan to concentrate on completing achievements, you will have to leave the evidences alone since going for them will expose 47 to being spotted that, of course, we do not want. Also, here’s a couple of things that might help you get luckier and finish things faster. Or smoother. Or finish the level at all:
- You main concern might be to remain unnoticed by staying in as many groups of people as possible at the train station;
- Platform “A” won’t be heavily crowded with the police offers as it might be expected which means you can slip down to the control building at the end of the station;
- Now you need to use the ledge and enter a window. The good news is that you do not have to care about people because they are not interested in your actions. Just do what you have to do;
- Come to a ladder down the hall and climb up. Now you should see a person that can also be ignored for now;
- Go to the terminal and set a train to arrive at platform “B”. Wait for a couple of minutes and wait until the man leaves;
- When he leaves, slip out the door. But remember that there is a police officer right outside the door, so – be careful;
- Go down the steps and join a large crowd of people waiting for the next train;
- At this point you will have to wait about a minute or so until the next train arrives and if you plan to stay undetected, you will have to hide in the crowd. If it moves – you move with it, if it stops – you stop with it. For this long minute you and the crowd are unbreakable.

Forepost (10)

You assassinated Wade's men in Chinatown


Story related, can't be missed. In order to complete this one you will have to spend a lot of time. Hunter and Hunted is another long chapter that will blow your mind. Probably, the hardest part is to survive and get through the first area, which is Courtyard, and the fifth part Convenience Store without using a disguise. In order to successfully complete the mission you will have to eliminating Wade’s men, Bill Dole, Frank Owens and Larry Clay. As always, you will have a plenty of ways to get things done but below I will describe you how to become a “Silent Assassin” in this particular mission. Your task in this mission is to illuminate 3 targets. It doesn’t matter who goes first – just make sure that they all leave this world.
LARRY CLAY
If you want to get rid of this guy, you will have to send your hero in a short walking trip. From the very beginning move straight forward to the other end of the map. While walking you shouldn’t get detected by anyone but if you feel that soon that attentive guy across the street will alarm the others about a strange man walking down the street, you can hide somewhere or simply stop and stand still in the crowd. This should help you to “disappear.” Now, when you reach the intended spot, you should see a wired fence and a brick wall to your right. Get in the window hole and move forward until you get to the gas pump. Now you know what to do – sabotage it! Walk away and hide behind the low wall on the opposite side from the gas pump. Rather sooner than later Larry Clay will show up and thanks to your sabotage he will be killed by the gas leak. How convenient, don’t you find? Wait to see him getting “ready” (if you know what I mean) and sneak back out the window and onto the next target.
FRANK OWENS
After killing Larry Clay, get through the window and head straight but this time try to keep your character to the left. Pretty soon you are going to see a guy talking on the phone. This is your next target – Bill Dole. Try to hold the temptation to kill him and go a bit further. Right before the tattoo shop turn right and activate checkpoint if you have any. Now, head up the stairs and go down the ledge. Hide in the dumpster next to the stairs and wait for your target. As far as Larry Clay is dead by now, Frank Owens will start bulling a chef. Wait for the moment when he pushes the chef (this is your chance to do everything right), jump out of the dumpster and push Frank down the hole. Another target eliminated. Now it’s the highest time to deal with the last one.
BILL DOLE
After killing Frank Owens, climb back to the ledge and exit the alley. And again – some physical activity to keep your body in good condition: head straight across the map to the opposite end. Make sure none compromises you but if the danger is close – stop and try to disappear in the crowd. Ok, by now you should have reached a downward staircase with a vent at the bottom. Get inside that went and go through. Listen to Bill Dole’s conversation and wait for the words “the guy’s a ghost”. When you hear these words – exit the shaft and get in cover. From your hiding place you should see Bill Dole talking to a dealer and the folder you are interested in will be lying nearby. Try to do your best and steal the folder without being noticed. If you do that right, the other guy will kill Bill Dole for you.
Now proceed back through the shaft and go to the exit. After you finish the level, you should get the “Forepost” achievement as well as “Silent Assassin” if you haven’t got that already.

All Bark and no Bite (10)

You assassinated Wade

Story related, can't be missed. Your task is to complete “Rosewood” mission and eliminate Victoria Ward. The mission itself is pretty straightforward but you might have complications with finding fuses for successful mission complete as far as their location pretty much depends on the difficulty level you are into.

Fuse Location – Enhanced difficulty (Easy and Normal)
Fuse 1. The very first fuse you will find is on the first floor at the bottom of the stairs, the one that are the closest to the stopped lift. It is the storeroom next to the chapel with the shotgun.
Fuse 2. For this one go on the second floor, near the tortured guard. A syringe may be found in this room.
Fuse 3. First floor, supervisor's station, back counter. Start looking for the large cubicle in the commons room. This will be between the chapel and the nursery. You will find Aries Charging Ram on this station's front counter.
Fuse 4. You will find this on the first floor in the chemistry lab (some people call it medicine room).

Fuse Locations - Professional difficulty (Hard, Expert, and Purist).
Fuse 1. While playing on Professional difficulty, you won’t be able to find this fuse on the previous place as far as it has been moved to the front desk of the orphanage. Check out the plain sight of the henchmen in front of the elevator maintenance door.
Fuse 2. 2nd floor, the very same infirmary but a different spot.
Fuse 3. This fuse was moved from back counter to the nursery on the 1st floor. You will have no problems locating this room cause it has a the ball pit used for one of the chapter's challenges.
Fuse 4. And again –location is the same (chemistry lab on the first floor) but now it will lie closer to the enemies talking about the big score.

The Bartender Always Knows (10)

You questioned the bartender

Story related, can't be missed. You will have to finish one of the story related missions called “Welcome To Hope”. Luckily, it is one of the easiest missions in the game and you shouldn’t have any problems completing it successfully. The best way to finish the mission and get the achievement is to complete the level by starting a bar fight. Just get inside the bar and punch anybody. During the bar fight, you will need to walk all the way through the bar to the bartender. When someone will try to drag you in a fight, press “B”, tap “X” and then press either “A” or “Y” to beat your opponent. For more information you can check out this video.

[video=youtube;Ojqskp7j0c0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ojqskp7j0c0 [/video]

Signature Weapons (10)

You re-gained your signature Silverballers

Story related, can't be missed. The chapter you are going to play next and unlock the “Signature Weapon” achievement in is known as “Birdie's Gift.” Luckily, it’s pretty short and easy enough to complete fast. One of the simplest and fastest ways to get things done is to ambush and subdue the Gun Shop owner by entering the vent at the indoor shooting range to enter the range office. When your 47 gets the notebook, you might want to open the safe and get the Silverballers from it. By the way, you will find the key in the same range office. Now – leave. By the way, as far as shooting contest is a part of the mission, you might be interested to know what you should expect to get when shooting at targets.
1. Depending on how far your shot is from the center, Headshots will bring you 20, 10 or 1 point.
2. Depending on how far your shot is from the center, Chest shots will give you from 5 to 7 points.
3. And Limb shots will give you 3 points.
I am pretty sure you will figure out the math yourself.

Like Stealing Candy From a Baby (10)

You circumvented Lenny's crew and secured Lenny

Story related, can't be missed. The mission is called “Shaving Lenny” and your task is to eliminate Lenny’s Gang members in the Barber Shop and kidnap Lenny himself. Here’s what you can do to complete it as a Silent Killer.
TARGET 1: MASON MCREADY
When you start the mission, just keep moving straight down the steps and pass two guards by the door. On the metal barrel on the left you will find a wrench. Pick it up and detach the wire. Now, go to your right and pull the lever. When done, get back upstairs and hide behind the short wall near the entrance opposite to the gang. Try to be attentive and listen to what Mason says. When he starts complaining about the wrong sauce, go back down the stairs. When there, you will see a ledge on the wall of the building the guards are by. Show your skills and climb the ledge. Now, turn the corner, and pull yourself up to another ledge. Get closer to the window and watch Mason die from electrical current. Go through the window and move on to the next target.
TARGET 2: LUKE WHEELEY
When you got out of the window after your first target, make your way to the far door on the same floor. Change into the barber disguise that you will find at the bottom of the stairs. From the mirrors turn right and go through the door. Now, head to the kitchen. Here you will find out that that the pizza is for Lenny. Just wait a bit and pretty soon everyone will leave giving you an opening to turn on the oven that Luke is near. But while doing this, try to keep an eye on Luke on your radar. Get in the storage room to the right of the kitchen and wait until Luke returns. When he’s back, do not show off and just wait for him to stand next to the oven again.
TARGET 3: PACIFY LENNY
In order to get to the third guy you will have to wait a bit for everyone to settle down. When things get back on their places, Lenny will be ready for his haircut. When he sits in a chair, walk to him, interact and a cutscene will pop up. If you do everything right, not only can you get “Like Stealing Candy From a Baby” achievement but also a lucky owner of the “Silent Assassin.” Of course, if you haven’t got one already.

[video=youtube;f0SqURBB-PE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0SqURBB-PE[/video]

Not Worth It (10)

You left Lenny in the desert

This is actually very easy to get. In the mission called “End of the Road” you and Lenny will have a warm little conversation during which your interlocutor will share some valuable information with you. After you get what you need, you will have two options: to kill the guy or leave him in the desert. Of course, you are the one to make the final decision but despite all the disgust, try to pull yourself together and DO NOT KILL Lenny. Not only will it make you look like an honorable man but also will unlock the “Not Worth It” achievement. Turn around, get in a car and drive away.

[video=youtube;-wb5FwCA0bo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wb5FwCA0bo[/video]

Step Into the Light (10)

You found your way through the mines

Story related, can't be missed. After the previous mission when you left (or killed) Lenny in the desert, you will start in some high up wooden buildings. Your task will be to get down to the mines. This is not hard: just use your skills and do what you always do when trying to stay unnoticed. When you emerge into the sunlight and see the silenced sniper on your right, the achievement you are going for should become unlocked. This mission also might be a good place for getting “The Russian Here” achievement as far as you can pick up the Sniper rifle and get more ammo by going upstairs. But that is up to you.

[video=youtube;UuDpXnGqfzM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuDpXnGqfzM[/video]

A Heavy Blow (10)

You assassinated the facility leaders

Story related, can't be missed. In this particular mission you will also have to play as a silent killer and pass through the guards and other people without being noticed. This mission will take place in “Dexter Industries”. At the end of mission you will have to eliminate both doctors. As always – try to be as creative as possible and make it look like it was an accident. Well, two unexpected accidents. You can also get a great Signature kill when the last doctor sits in a patient’s chair but that is not obligatory.

[video=youtube;paiI6f8zljI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paiI6f8zljI[/video]

Faith Can Move Mountains (10)

You have defeated Sanchez with your bare hands

Story related, can't be missed. This will come to you naturally and will be obtained in the mission “Fight Night”. The only obligation for you here is to get the fighter Patriot's costume. This is your ticket on the ring. When the fight starts, follow the buttons that pop up on the screen and press them in correct order. If you do everything right, you will unlock the achievement after a short cutscene. Also, you will get “Silent Assassin” if you haven’t got one already.

[video=youtube;9dKZP_dGVRI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9dKZP_dGVRI[/video]

The Killing Fields (10)

You eliminated the Saints

Story related, can't be missed. Even despite the fact that those girls were trying to kill you in the trailer, you do remember how things ended. Well, this time is not an exception and you will have to take 7 lives. Saints will appear in three sets: 2 on the Parking location, 2 on the Reception location and 3 on the Cornfield location. Here are the names that you need to check out of your list:
Jennifer Paxton
Heather McCarthy
Dijana Radoncic
Agnija Radoncic
Louisa Cain
Jaqueline Moorhead
Lasandra Dixon
But the only thing that keeps bothering me is that in the trailer you will see that there are 8 Saints and in this level you will have to kill 7. Maybe, it’s just a little mistake, or maybe…

[video=youtube;gpAGZ4Cl0B8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpAGZ4Cl0B8[/video]

Jailbird (10)

You infiltrated the courthouse and accessed the jail

Story related, can't be missed. Skurky's Law will bring you to the Holding Cells area. Again. In this mission you will be changing your close even more often than you can imagine, especially playing on professional difficulties. A little tip: the judge or Tin Foil Hat Man disguises are best for accessing the Courtroom exit without being spotted. But, if you plan on doing things really hard and get to the Holding Cells without a disguise, here’s what you can do: get into the evidence room which is the door next to the keycard locked door and use ventilation for hiding. Wait until the alert passes off. Now, the rest of the game is all about perfect timing and sneaky moves. Nothing you haven’t done already.

[video=youtube;adZ2yG8-8lU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=adZ2yG8-8lU[/video]

Hour of Reckoning (10)

You caught up with Skurky

Story related, can't be missed. You will have to finish the mission “Operation Sledgehammer.” It really requires 47 to use a disguise in Hope Fair to pass through undetected otherwise you will have to spend a couple of hours killing all the guards. But if you have some times, this will be fun too.

[video=youtube;a3gVkjqeeLY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=a3gVkjqeeLY[/video]

True Form (10)

You visited Tommy the Tailor and acquired a new suit and gloves

Story related, can't be missed. One of a Kind is a very short chapter and most of it is a cinematic part. Though, despite all the expectations, 47 will not kill Tommy the tailor. But, you can see that yourself on the video.

[video=youtube;JD6fJbdUqKs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD6fJbdUqKs[/video]

Destroying Something Beautiful (10)

You assassinated Dexter's assistant, Layla

Story related, can't be missed. The mission is called “Blackwater Park” and your task is to eliminate Layla that is Dexter’s assistant. In order to clear the first level without being spotted, you might wanna use a disguise to access the exit, so dress up like Custodian, Plumber, or Blackwater Manager. Now, if you want to get in the Penthouse, you will have to find a special disguise – the black suited security or the Strike Team uniform. All the other disguises simply won’t work. Also, if you are into a secret bonus movie, you can unlock it by following Layla Stockton into the Panic Room after she enters it. Neutralizing the target this way satisfies the “Skin Trade” challenge.

[video=youtube;hK_Fsafy3-M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK_Fsafy3-M[/video]

The Final Countdown (10)

You assassinated Blake Dexter

Story related, can't be missed. The mission is called “Countdown” and your task is to kill Blake Dexter. The only hard thing about this mission is that you will have 4 minutes to eliminate the target. If you fail – you will be forced to restart the mission. But don’t get disappointed if the first time is not a success. It will help you to get to know the route better and get to the target without being spotted. Probably, the most difficult part is to collect all the evidences, especially on Professional difficulty. That is why you might consider activating checkpoint at the start of the second rooftop.

[video=youtube;eucYv3p7W6E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eucYv3p7W6E[/video]

A Personal Contract (50)

You eliminated Travis and fulfilled Diana's contract

Story related, can't be missed. The final mission of the game and as most of the other mission, this one requires 47 to don a disguise to “blend” undetected.
“Absolution” mission consists of three parts: “Cemetery Entrance”, “Burnwood Family Tomb” and “Crematorium”. While “Burnwood Family Tomb” and “The Crematorium” can be done easily without a disguise, the very first part “Cemetery Entrance” requires the disguise to make it to the entrance. In “Burnwood Family Tomb” you will locate and kill Jade and in “The Crematorium” you will kill the Praetorians and Travis.
