Introduction

 

Hitman is back! This is the first Hitman game on the PS3 to feature trophies. The game sees you take on the role of Agent 47, an assassin who was created and trained to kill. He's gone rogue from the agency in order to protect a girl named Victoria. Agent 47 must betray the agency to save her from growing into an assassin like himself, but on his journey he will encounter others who are interested in the girl.

 

The platinum is a fairly easy one, it's not one of those games where you have to 100% everything. There is only 47 trophies, 20 of those are obtained through the story and the rest should come from general gameplay. The 1 collectible trophy that requires you to obtain all the evidence across the game. There are 46 in total, but only 45 count towards the trophy. If you follow a guide you'll have no trouble. The other thing are challenges. These are additional tasks for you to complete in a mission, such as "Chameleon - Change into x disguises in the level". There's 278 in total and you only have to complete 100, so you should have no difficulty in getting those.

 

**Trophy Glitches**

 

There are two glitched trophies in the game, but it's random if they will glitch on you. The two trophies are Absolution and Information is Power. Many have reported that they completed the game all the way through on Hard but didn't unlock the absolution trophy at the end of the game. The same goes for Information is Power, people have picked up all the evidence on normal/hard and the trophy hasn't unlocked. There is no known way as of yet to prevent the glitches or how to fix them. Your best bet though if one of the trophies glitches on you is to delete the patch and go and try and earn the trophy again (don't re-download the patch, just play offline). I personally had no trophy glitches.

 

 

Walkthrough

 

Step 1: Complete the story on Hard, collect all the evidence.

 

The first thing you want to do is start the story and select 'Hard' on the professional section of difficulties. Hard difficulty just adds more enemies, you take more damage, instinct runs out quicker and enemies see through disguises easier. It's really not that hard; be thankful there isn't a trophy for completing the game on purist. While doing this you also want to collect evidence which comes in dossier form and video tape form. Most missions only have a couple that are hidden, you could find them yourself if you explored long enough but your best is to just follow this guide. There's 45 of them in total, so not much compared to other games. You can simply run to the location of the evidence, pick it up then die. The evidence will save forever as soon as you pick it up. Doing this will also bring you 19 challenges closer toward the 100 challenge trophy. The final part of this step is to obtain all the misc trophies, which you'll more than likely get just by playing anyway as they are only for losing attention of enemies etc.

 

 

Step 2: Contracts Mode

 

All the Contract mode trophies are now unobtainable due to server closure.

 

Note: This part does not need an online pass, the developers decided last minute not to make a pass needed. There is one in your copy of the game but it's free on the PS Store.

 

Contracts mode is where you create contracts then save them for others to try and complete. You simply mark any target(s), kill them in a desired way then exit. Somebody then has to replicate what you just did by themselves for maximum money payout. All the trophies here can be done in 1 sitting in an hour, tops. You just have to complete both tutorials, play a friends contract, like a contract, create a contest, play in a contest, earn $1,000,000 in contracts mode and finally buy an upgrade. You can't keep repeating the same contract over and over though for the million dollars trophy. They have to be different.

 

 

Step 3: Clean Up

 

You should have all of the trophies by now, but in case your missing something you should go back and earn whatever it is your missing. If your missing a piece of evidence, just replay the mission until you get it then quit. Same goes for challenges. You might not have 100 challenges completed yet, if that's the case just go for the easy ones. You should now have your Platinum trophy - congratulations!

Collect all trophies

 

Unobtainable, due to server closure.

 

Just like any other Platinum, earn all 46 trophies to unlock. Congrats!

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/678/E84.jpgGrand Master (G)

Complete 100 challenges

 

CHALLENGES CAN ONLY BE COMPLETED ON NORMAL OR ABOVE

 

Note: If you die you will not lose the challenge you unlocked, same goes for restarting checkpoints. You can quit and the challenge will still save.

 

There is a total of 278 challenges in the game, 19 of those are just for collecting all the evidence in the game. Most of them are pretty easy and you'll get a few just by playing. The only difficult thing about them is the game doesn't actually tell you what the challenges are. You just get a cryptic clue and you have to work out what it means. You can check challenges by going to the statistics page on the main menu, or by pressing :select: in game and scrolling over to the challenge section. I completed around 80 in my first playthrough and that was me not even trying to get them.

 

Once you finish the game your best bet is to just replay missions without changing disguises (I'm sure you missed this challenge in every level). This will give you another 15 or towards the total. Same goes for challenges like changing into x disguises and the one for not getting spotted at all. All missions have these challenges. There are also challenges for assassinating targets in a specific way and the challenges for them are easily deciphered.

47 precision headshots using a sniper rifle

 

If you die you will not lose out on headshot progress, same goes for restarting checkpoints. They also have to be precision headshots, not regular headshots. To perform a precision headshot you have to hold down :r2: about halfway, time will slow down. Line up a headshot then fully press down :r2:. The two best places to get his trophy are as follows:

  • Dexters Industries: Factory Compound - You can simply go on level select and start this part of the mission up straight away and be moments away from the sniper. Exit the mines and resting on the right hand side just by the exit is a sniper, pick it up and proceed up the stairs to the right to pick up more ammunition for it. Just pick off the enemies one by one, you won't get spotted at all unless you miss shots or an enemy is close by. Once you run out of bullets or enemies you can simply kill yourself or restart checkpoint.

 

  • Absolution: Cemetery Entrance - At the very start of this mission you have a sniper already equipped. Just pick off the targets from the back and work your way towards the closer ones, this way your less likely to get spotted. Once you run out of bullets or enemies you can simply kill yourself or restart checkpoint.

Defeat Sanchez with your bare hands

 

During the 13th mission you have to get the patriots outfit from the man who is training by the caravan. There are many ways to get it, but the easiest way is to just kill them all or kill a couple to get them spooked and hide. Once you see the patriot walk near by kill him and take the disguise. Nobody can see through the disguise because of the mask. Once in the arena just fight Sanchez. It's just a combination of pressing :circle: and mashing :square: really, nothing too hard. When you snap his neck at the end the trophy will unlock.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/678/509.jpgAbsolution (G)

Complete Hitman: Absolution™ on any professional difficulty

 

GLITCHED: Many have reported this trophy didn't unlock for them, but it's rare to happen. There is currently no known way of preventing it. If this trophy glitches on you, delete the patch and play offline on a new save.

 

Note: If you didn't do your first playthrough on this difficulty, you can get the trophy via new story or level select. If you choose new story you won't lose challenge progress. Also, Maka on x360a has made a full YouTube walkthrough for each level on hard, it can be found here:

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/hitman-absolution/181063-hitman-absolution-hard-walkthrough.html

 

The minimum difficulty you can play on for this is Hard. Hard mode means enemies will see through your disguise much easier and there will be more enemies to avoid in the missions. I advise choosing this difficulty from the get go as it isn't very difficult. Here's some tips:

  • Sneak - This is the best way to tackle hard difficulty. If you sneak the whole game you'll find it easy, but sneaking isn't always easy to do and it means waiting around for a while. Use instinct to help you see where enemies are going to walk to etc to make it easier for you.
  • Instinct - This will really help you out in certain situations. If your in a disguise and have enough instinct you can use it to cover to face and blend, this will prevent enemies seeing through your disguise. You can also do point shooting, where you freeze time and target enemies, then execute it for one shot kills on all selected targets. Use this when you have to take a few enemies out quickly at once.
  • Act Efficiently If you have to kill enemies, don't leave them to get spotted as this makes enemies suspicious. Hide them in bins, cupboards etc so enemies don't find them. Also, when using disguises you have to pick the right one for the job. For example, a police officer won't see through your disguise if your wearing a disguise that isn't a police disguise. The same works for others. The final thing to remember is trial and error, if things don't go right a certain way just restart the checkpoint and try again. If you have enough ammo though, you can just kill everybody to finish missions quickly.

Collect all play styles

 

There is 20 play styles in the game that unlock after you complete a certain task within the game or do a certain action many times in a row. You can check your progress by looking at play styles in the statistics section of the main menu. Here's a list of all 20 and the best place to get them:

  • Needle Pumper - 5 kills in a row with the syringe.

You first encounter the syringe in the medicine area downstairs during the mission Rosewood, the syringe is on a desk. Pick it up and walk up behind or in front enemies and press :square:, repeat 5 times.

  • Undertaker - Kill somebody, hide body in container etc. Repeat 5 times.

You can get this in pretty much any mission. All you need to do is subdue or kill enemies and dump them somewhere hidden. I got this during the cornfield part during the mission Attack of the Saints.

  • Piano Man - 3 kills in a row with the fibre wire.

I got this on the mission Dexter's industries, factory compound. You have to cross a bridge and there's multiple enemies on the bridge. The first one is by the sniper rifle, kill him with the wire. Next, go onto the bridge and look at the two guys standing there. Wait for the far one to walk off then kill the one who stayed put. Now kill the one that walked off. If you didn't get spotted at all, the playstyle will unlock.

  • Reaper Man - Instinct point shooting kills.

I got this on the mission The King of Chinatown. You start off with your instinct bar half full. Go up to the pagoda and initiate point shooting on the 3 police officers and the king. They should all die in one shot if you aimed correctly. If you still have instinct left just go around and kill each police officer and other civilians with point shooting. You can refill your instinct bar by picking up the evidence on the table in the pagoda.

  • Sandman - Silently subdue 3 enemies in a row.

To subdue an enemy go up behind them while unarmed and press :square:, then mash :square: (Don't snap neck). There is plenty of chances to get this and I personally got this during the mission Attack of the Saints, cornfield. Subdue the guy kneeling by the car and the two in the cornfield to the right, hit the car first before you go in so the two split.

  • Dynasty Warrior - 5 kills in a row with the katana.

The first time you encounter the katana is during the Chinese New Year part of the Hunter and Hunted mission. As soon as you enter the area go towards where the sports car was during the 2nd mission. On a stand next to a chef who is standing still is the sword.

  • Dynamite Harry - Multi-Kill will Explosive

I got this on the mission The King of Chinatown. Go down the alleyway on the left hand side with the sports car, kill the cop here silently. Now go up the small stairs and pick up the explosives. Bring it to the pagoda, what you want to do is throw it into the center of the pagoda and detonate it straight away. I got 5 kills I think and the play style unlocked.

  • Gunslinger - Kills with the revolver

I got this during the mission Birdie's gift. What you want to do is pick up the mustang magnum that is by the entrance. Now all you have to do is keep killing the people in the gun shop with this gun only, eventually it will unlock. It's random when it unlocks, but it should take 5-10 kills to get it.

  • Bartender - 5 Kills with bottles in a mission

During the mission Welcome to hope you want to start a bar fight. Once you start the fight all you have to do is pick up bottles and smash them over peoples heads with :square:. It took me 5 kills in a row with the bottle to unlock the play style.

  • Champion - Kills with hand-to-hand combat

During the mission Welcome to hope you have to start a bar fight in order to advance. Once you start the fight just start fighting with the people in the bar until it pops. There is loads of people to fight with and many will initiate a fight with you.

  • Berserker - 5 Kills in a row with an axe.

I got this on the mission The King of Chinatown. Go to the right hand side of the map where the drug dealers apartment is. You will notice boxes to the left of the entrance to the alleyway, stuck in the far box is an axe. You now want to kill 5 enemies in a row with it. I killed the police man down the alleyway, the drug dealer, a random police officer that approached the dead cop and two more police officers near the pagoda.

  • Brutus - 5 kills in a row with a knife

I got this during The King of Chinatown mission. Pick up the knife by the fugu fish poison. All you have to do now is go on a knifing spree, civilians count towards the total. Don't throw the knife, just walk up to people and press :square:.

  • Viking - 5 kills in a row with a baseball bat.

During the mission Welcome to hope you want to start a bar fight. Where you turn the electric off to start the fight there is a cubicle with a baseball bat in. Pick it up and go into the bar and just keep hitting people until it unlocks.

  • Tank - Take a lot of damage.

Load up any mission and just keep getting shot until it unlocks. I personally loaded up Birdie's gift as everybody is armed and it's easy to get them to shoot you. Just keep getting shot until the play style unlocks, you may get this by general gameplay.

  • Pitcher - 5 stealth kills with thrown sharp objects in a row

I got this in the cornfield during the mission Attack of the Saints, which is by far the easiest way to get the play style. You start off near one of the saints and some enemies, hide behind the car until they leave saying sweep the cornfield in a 2x2 formation. One of them will stop and kneel behind a car, there's an agency knife right by him. Pick the knife up and throw it at his head, kill number 1. Now look to your right and you'll see two enemies in the cornfield itself, creep in and from afar throw the knife at the guy at the back, kill number 2. The other guy will notice his dead friend and will either walk to the right or directly forwards looking for a culprit, as he's walking away get behind him and throw the knife at his head, kill number 3. You now want to creep to the dirt path where an enemy should be walking up and down, kill him when he is about midway from the start of the path and the house so the saint doesn't see, kill number 4. For the final kill throw it at either guard that is guarding the path, play style unlocks.

  • Spook - 3 silent animated kills with a silenced hand gun, don't get spotted.

I got this on the mission Dexter's industries, factory compound. You have to cross a bridge and there's multiple enemies on the bridge. The first one is by the sniper, go up behind him with your pistol out and press :square:. Next, go onto the bridge and look at the two guys standing there. Wait for the far one to walk off then kill the one who stayed the same way you did the first guy. Now kill the one that walked off the same way. If you didn't get spotted at all, the play style challenge will unlock.

  • Jinx - kills via accidental means, using environment.

I got this during the Chinese New Year part of Hunter and Hunted. I killed one of the targets with the gas pump (Located near where the exit was on the 2nd mission). I then went where the sports car was in the 2nd mission and waited until the next target walks down the alleyway with a chef. When they are under the 500lb hoisted weight suspended in the air, shoot the metal chain. It should kill both and the play style will unlock.

  • Maestro - 5 head shots in a row with a sniper, without reloading.

I got this during Absolution, cemetery entrance. What you want to do is aim at the at guys at the back, make sure you get headshots. You need to fire your entire 5 clip round into 5 enemy heads, you can't miss any shots or reload. To help aim, hold down :r2: halfway then release it fully to shoot. The trophy will unlock after the 5th headshot.

  • Glass Cannon - Kills with the police shotgun

During the mission Welcome to hope go into the toilets and wait for the police officer to leave, then climb through the vent. On the other side of the vent is a shotgun, near the evidence collectible. Pick it up and return to the bar. now just keep shooting people until it unlocks, the bar is filled with people so it shouldn't take long to unlock.

  • Bank Robber - Knock out 3 human shields in a row

I got this on the mission The King of Chinatown. All I did was grab civilians and knock them out, that's it. To make a human shield, get your pistol out and go up behind somebody and press :cross:. Once you have a hold of them press :square: to knock them out.

Achieve a lethal throw kill

 

You'll get shown how to do this in the very first mission, but the trophy won't unlock then. If you want the trophy as quick as you can, the earliest you can get it is during mission 2 "The King of Chinatown". From the start go to the right side of the map and look at the crates. Stuck in one of the crates is an axe, pick it up. Now in the alleyway right next to you is a police officer, get the axe out with :l2: and aim it as his head until it flashes red circles. Now all you have to do is throw it with :r2:. The trophy will unlock shortly afterwards.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/678/321.jpgInformation is Power (S)

Collect all evidence

 

WARNING! You must be playing on normal or above! The trophy won't unlock otherwise.

 

GLITCHED: Many have reported this trophy didn't unlock for them, but it's rare to happen. There is currently no known way of preventing it. If this trophy glitches on you, delete the patch and play offline on a new save.

 

There's actually 46 pieces of evidence in the game, but the one in the tailor shop doesn't count towards the trophy. Evidence comes in the form of dossiers and video tapes and there's a couple in each mission. Once you've picked one up that's it, it's saved forever and you don't have to pick it up again if you quit, restart or die. The best way is to go Rambo to get them, then once you've gotten it just restart the checkpoint and play stealthy, whatever you prefer. See the video below for the locations of them all, or alternatively see my external thread:

Like a contract

 

Unobtainable, due to server closure.

 

See the http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/hitman-absolution/180217-contracts-trophy-boosting-thread-read-first-post.html if you need help with getting the contract mode trophies.

 

A very easy trophy, all you have to do is like a contract. Once you finish a contract you'll be on a screen that says compete etc. Back out of this with :circle: and you'll see the rate option. Just press the + icon and you'll like it. Trophy will unlock shortly afterwards.

Contain a situation gone bad

 

Note: Enemies have to be red on the minimap, then they go back to normal colour.

 

A situation gone bad can mean many things, but the main one is when enemies are hunting for you and your disguise is blown or the enemies are trying to kill you. In this situation you just want to hide away from the enemies until everything turns normal again, you'll most likely get this from general gameplay as you'll make mistakes like this a lot of the time. If you want the trophy off the bat then during Mission 2 "The King of Chinatown", you'll want to shoot the red explosive barrels in plain sight by the sports car. Now just walk off in the opposite direction and avoid contact with the police, hide behind objects etc.

Earn 1 million contract dollars

 

Unobtainable, due to server closure.

 

See the http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/hitman-absolution/180217-contracts-trophy-boosting-thread-read-first-post.html if you need to find people to help in contracts mode.

 

Note: You cannot keep replaying the same contract for this, or your own contracts.

 

This may sound bad at first but it's actually really easy. All you have to do is complete contacts until you reach a million earnings from contracts. Some can give you as much as quarter of a million, while most give you 100K. The easiest way to get this trophy is just keep playing the very short easy contracts. You can have a friend make loads of easy ones and you just play them until you earn a million. The trophy will pop on the main menu after earning a million through contracts.

Buy an upgrade

 

Unobtainable, due to server closure.

 

See the http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/hitman-absolution/180217-contracts-trophy-boosting-thread-read-first-post.html if you need help with getting the contract mode trophies.

 

Upgrades can be bought with money you have earned from contracts. The upgrade shop is a tad expensive and it's about a million dollars for a gun. what you want to do is go to your silverballers and equip any upgrade (Extra Clip I costs 90K). As soon as you buy it the trophy will unlock.

Unlock a technique

 

You are guaranteed to get this just by playing the game, there is loads of techniques that can be unlocked. Techniques are unlocked for getting good scores. The trophy will more than likely unlock after completing the second mission "The King of Chinatown", if not, your guaranteed to get it in another mission,

You can get this two ways. Either have a friend invite you to a contract competition, or from the contracts menu go to quick play then friends. Chances are you have somebody on your friends list with the game. Just load the contract up and on the loading screen the trophy will unlock. You can also boost this with yourself by having two PSN IDs.

Escape attention from enemies

 

Another easy trophy, which you should and will most likely get from general gameplay. When an enemy goes orange on the mini-map, that means you have their attention. All you need to do is lose them. This can be done in a few ways, but the best way is on the mission "The King of Chinatown" go down to where the alleyway to the sports car begins then up the small set of stairs. There is a cop who will always be standing there with the crowd and he has his back to you, subdue him with :square: (Sandman Unlocked). You should now see a picture of 47 in his suit in the bottom left corner. Now quickly go down the sports car alley and shoot the cop there and change into his uniform. Just casually walk off from the scene then until you reach the other side of the map. You can interact with a menu if you want to hide, but it's not required. The trophy will unlock when everything returns to normal.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/678/5FE.jpgSilent Assassin (S)

Achieve the rating: Silent Assassin

 

Note: You'll unlock this automatically if you fight Sanchez during the mission "Fight Night", but if you want the trophy as soon as you can:

 

This can first be achieved in level 2, The King of Chinatown. What you want to do is go to the top right part of the market (near the axe) and get the fish poison. You can steal it from the counter when the female chef isn't looking. Be quick about it though and leave as soon as you've taken it. You then want to go near where the exit is. You should see a cop and a chef in a small cooking area. What you want to do is poison his food. Nobody will see you doing it so don't worry. Once that's done just wait by the exit until the king dies from the poison. There should be an agency logo as your score and that means you got silent assassin The trophy will unlock on the score screen after the cut-scene with Birdie. Thanks to Rawra for suggesting this method.

Remain undetected in a whole checkpoint

 

Note: This cannot be achieved on the very first tutorial level.

 

You'll more than likely just get this by playing the game, as the main objective is to be stealthy. You have to complete a checkpoint without being spotted, you'll know if you get spotted as it will say "Spotted -1200". To avoid getting spotted, use silenced ways of killing enemies and don't draw attention to yourself. You can also throw objects to get enemies to move from their post, this makes the trophy very easy as you can distract enemies and then sneak past them, thanks to Rawra for suggesting that tip.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/678/B77.jpgWhoops (B)

Achieve your first accident kill

 

This can first be achieved in mission 2, The King of Chinatown. What you want to do is go to the top left of the map where the exit point is. There will be two police officers standing here. What you want to do is pick up the brick that is in the fenced area to the right of the police officers and throw it towards the the boxes (Just under the winch full of heavy things). As soon as the police officer walks under it, aim at the cable part of the suspended weight and shoot it. If done right the it will collapse and kill the officer.

Blend in successfully

 

You will more than likely get this just by playing, but if you want the trophy as soon as you can then the earliest you can do it is level 2, The King of Chinatown. What you want to do is just interact with one of the objects that say "Hide :triangle:" on them while an enemy is nearby. What I did was just walk to where the king is and interacted with the menu on the stand that is right by the pagoda. Just stay here until the trophy unlocks.

Execute a point shooting with 3 kills

 

You will definitely get this just by playing, but if you want the trophy as soon as you can then the earliest you can do it is level 2, The King of Chinatown. As soon as you go out the door into Chinatown press and hold :r1: to use your instinct, then press :square: to activate point shooting. Just press :r2: on 3 of the civilians heads, then execute with :square:. If all 3 die from the point shooting the trophy will unlock

Hide a body

 

You will definitely get this just by playing, but if you want the trophy as soon as you can then the earliest you can do it is mission 2, The King of Chinatown. Walk towards the sports car that is parked down the alley to the left of the map. There is a lone police officer here, simply walk up to him and punch him to knock him down. Press :circle: on him to drag him to the dumpster right next to you, press :triangle: to put him in there.

Subdue a person

 

You will definitely get this just by playing, but if you want the trophy as soon as you can then the earliest you can do it is level 2, The King of Chinatown. To subdue a person you just have to go up behind them while unarmed and it will say "Subdue :square:". Simply press :square: to pull them to the floor. Now all you need to do is keep tapping :square: until 47 lets go, don't snap their neck. See One of The Shadows for a video.

Guide is complete, you can post now. I just need to add videos and a link to an external collectibles guide I'm doing. More info will be added to the play styles once I find out exactly what is required. Feedback appreciated :)

 

EDIT: What should I do with the story trophies? The trophies themselves are spoilers so I wasn't sure what to do..

If they're major spoilers, then put everything except the image/title/trophy value in spoilers. That way people can see what the trophy is without spoiling it for themselves.

I wouldn't say they are major spoilers, they just say who you are going to be assassinating. It doesn't ruin the story, at least from my point of view it didn't. I will see what somebody else who has the game says, then I'll put them in spoilers if needed :)

Great guide and this game is prettly cool.

 

Also you can get all of the miscellaneous trophies in Contracts Mode. I've got 16 trophies without even touching the single-player yet.

 

If the single -player campaign isn't that long, then this is going to be a 10 hour plat.

Some suggestions:

 

Grand Master - Can only be completed on Normal or above, Easy doesn't unlock challenges.

 

The Russian Hare - I'd suggest the Cemetery Entrance level as you start off with a sniper with plenty of guards to kill, when out of ammo simply let them kill you and repeat (I know its suggested at the end, but for the trophy its quicker then running around the trench on Birdie's Gift)

 

Absolution - I did Hard for my 2nd playthrough and I breezed through it by playing it violently (no fun though), best tip is to shoot from cover but don't 'snap' to cover, you'll be able to shoot enemies this way but won't get hit, and most of the time they'll just line up to get shot.

 

One With the Shadows - Could be worth adding that you can just alert an enemy, then run and hide in a box/cupboard etc and wait til the attention goes to clear.

 

Silent Assassin - Quicker way to use the poison instead of going to the apartment is to poison the King's food just by the fish/near the exit, there is a cop nearby and a cook on the otherside but neither notice you when poisoning it, then just wait by the exit for the King to eat his last supper.

 

Inconspicuous - Useful tip is to use thrown weapons such as bricks, bottles, knifes etc to move enemies from your intended path, or to lure them to a quiet spot for you to subdue them.

 

Hope those help :).
