14: Attack of the Saints | Challenges Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Chameleon
General objectives: You must use all three costumes available in the fourteenth mission of the game.
The scarecrow disguise is a hidden one and the only place where you can obtain it is the Cornfield stage. Explore the cornfield located close to the start area, finding the place seen on screen 1. The disguise itself shouldn't be guarded by anyone so you can pick it up right away.
The Agency's soldier disguise can be obtained in all three stages of the fourteenth mission. It's best to get it in the early parts of the Parking stage.
Agent 47's suit can be found at the very beginning of the mission (Parking stage). To be more specific, you have to look for it after making your way to a destroyed motel room.
Evidence Collector
General objectives: You must find three collectibles (evidence).
The first collectible can be found while playing the Parking stage. It's in the parking lot in front of the motel. The safest way to get this object is to use Agency's soldier disguise and to distract enemy units (car alarms should do the trick).
The second collectible can be found while playing the Reception stage. This secret is in a middle of a square near a gas station. The area is swarming with Agency soldiers so it's recommended to use a proper costume.
The third collectible can be found while playing the Cornfield stage. The object you're looking for is on the crates near a trailer. This is the area where Jaqueline Moorhead is stationed (one of the nuns you have to kill).
Infiltrator
General objectives: You must remain undetected and in order to fully complete this challenge you must achieve this is all three stages of the fourteenth mission. You should of course consider using Agency's soldier disguise so you can move more freely and rely on instinct when needed. It's also recommended to eliminate each of the nuns without alarming Agency soldiers of their deaths. My last hint is to allow enemy soldiers to assassinate civilians in Parking and Reception stages, because otherwise you may be spotted by the people you've rescued.
Suit only
General objectives: You can't use any costumes and in order to fully complete this challenge you must achieve this is all three stages of the fourteenth mission. I recommend making an attempt of completing this challenge while playing on lower difficulty levels, because it'll be hard to remain unseen without a disguise, especially while playing the Reception stage.
Intervene
General objectives: You must rescue two innocent civilians before they're executed by Agency soldiers.
The first civilian can be found soon after leaving the parking lot in the Parking stage.
The second civilian (motel's owner) can be found close to the reception building in the Reception stage. In both cases it's best to use a fiber wire to strangle Agency employees, however you may as well shoot them. You should also know that the game will count a civilian as saved only after you've completed the entire stage in which he was encountered, so don't worry if you don't receive a message right away informing you about completing part of the challenge.
Black Widower
General objectives: You must poison one of the nuns.
You'll have a chance to complete this challenge while completing the Parking stage. Start off by exploring the area around the parking lot, finding the rat poison on the ground floor of the motel.
The rat poison can't be used until you've reached the amusement park area. Proceed towards the bar on the right and mix the poison with coffee, remaining unseen while performing this action. There's only one more thing left to do and that is to wait for Heather McCarthy to show up.
Electro Cute
General objectives: You must electrocute one of the nuns.
You can complete this challenge while playing the Cornfield stage and to be more precise it's the part where you're trying to eliminate Louisa 'Candy' Cain. Proceed towards the hut where this nun can be found (screen above).
Examine the hut from all sides in order to find a generator. Attach the power cable to a water pipe, pull the lever and wait for Candy to enter the hut (you may move back to a safe distance in the meantime). The nun will be eventually electrocuted.
Skit Chaser
General objectives: You must complete two challenges that have to do with eliminating nuns in staged accidents - Black Widower and Electro Cute.
Scarecrow
General objectives: You must wear a scarecrow disguise and then kill ten enemies while staying undetected.
This challenge can be completed while playing the Cornfield stage. Obviously you must begin by obtaining a scarecrow disguise and in order to do that search the cornfield located close to the start area (screen above).
You may now begin eliminating enemy units. It's best to locate single Agency guards patrolling the cornfields and to use a fiber wire to quickly and silently kill each one of them. It's worth mentioning that the game will also count killing nuns, so you don't have to search only for standard soldiers. Remember that you must remain unseen for the entire course of this challenge.
A Calm Before the Storm
General objectives: This challenge is completed automatically upon finishing the Attack of the Saints mission.
Angel of Death - Part 1
General objectives: You must kill two nuns in a single attack.
This challenge can be completed while playing the Reception stage. Start off by making your way to the gas station, preferably in the Agency's soldier disguise. Approach a single fuel distributor seen on the screen above and interact with it.
Retreat to a safe distance, take cover behind a wall and wait for both nuns to appear close to the gas station. Shoot at the pool of gasoline near the fuel distributor you've interacted with, causing a huge explosion and killing both nuns.
Angel of Death - part 2
General objectives: You must kill all Agency employees using only melee weapons and staying undetected for the entire time.
This is one of the hardest challenges available in the game. Here are its main principals:
- You must complete the entire fourteenth mission of the game (all three stages) without any retries and without using checkpoints.
- You must kill all enemy units you encounter - all seven nuns and all Agency's soldiers.
- You can't be seen by anyone and you can't let anyone to discover a body of a person you've killed.
- You can't use firearms and explosives. Only standard takedowns and melee weapons are allowed.
Here are a few hints on completing the challenge:
- I strongly recommend playing on the normal difficulty level, because it'll be easier for you to remain undetected and you'll be dealing with less enemies.
- Notice that the game doesn't prevent you from using disguises and instinct. As a result it's almost mandatory to obtain the Agency's soldier costume.
- It's a good idea to allow Agency's soldiers to kill innocent civilians in the Parking and Reception stages, because otherwise you may be spotted by the people you've rescued.
- The best weapon to kill enemies with is the fiber wire (screen above), especially since knives and other sharp weapons leave pools of blood behind.
- You'll probably have a lot of problems with larger groups of enemy units. Don't forget that you can distract the guards using throwable objects and car alarms. Eliminate enemies one by one when they're separated from the rest.
- Don't forget about hiding bodies of the people you've killed in crates and lockers or at least about dragging them away from the patrolled areas.
- Make sure that you've cleared a map before proceeding to the next stage and that all enemies have been killed and not only stunned.
Angel of Death - Part 3
General objectives: You must kill a total of seven nuns. This is a very easy challenge, especially since the game allows to repeatedly kill the same targets. You can use this to your advantage by killing the same nun and going back to the last checkpoint after each successful assassination.
