20: Absolution | Challenges Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Chameleon

General assumptions: You must use all three disguises available in the twentieth game mission.

Agency grunt disguise can be obtained in the Cemetery Entrance and Burnwood Family Tomb stages. It would be best to attack a person who appears in the tomb at the very beginning of the mission.

Agency technician disguise can be obtained only in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. I do not recommend stunning the technician who stays close to Jade but look around for the ready-to-wear costume.

Agency heavy trooper disguise can be obtained only in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. I suggest attacking one of single soldiers wandering in the area.

Evidence Collector

General assumptions: You must find three evidences.

The first evidence can be collected in the Cemetery Entrance stage. It is located near the main path leading to the cemetery gate (a passage to the next location). It is best to use the Agency grunt disguise and Instinct because the area is patrolled by hostile units.

The second secret can be obtained in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. You can find it near the dug out grave, next to which Jade stands. It is best to get it while using technician disguise.

The third evidence can be obtained in the Crematorium stage. The secret is located near the stairs leading to the crematorium building and I suggest collecting it only after dealing with praetorians.

Infiltrator

General assumptions: You can't be spotted. In order to complete this challenge in 100% you have to do this in each of three stages of the twentieth mission. The most difficult will be probably the last stage - The Crematorium. If you do not want to risk, I suggest eliminating praetorians with surprise headshots.

Suit Only

General assumptions: You can't use disguises. In order to complete this challenge in 100% you have to do this in each of three stages of the twentieth mission. This is difficult challenge, because even on lower difficulty settings you'll encounter many enemies in Cemetery Entrance and Burnwood Family Tomb stages. So I suggest using available guns or at least throwable objects.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

General assumptions: Stealth kill Jade and hide her body while being disguised as Agency technician.

This challenge consists of several parts completed in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. It would be best to start with securing the clearing patrolled by several heavy troopers (screen above).

The next step is to obtain Agency technician disguise and it would be best to get the ready-to-wear costume (screen above).

Once you put on the clothes, wait until Jade comes to the above mentioned clearing. Kill her (for example with garrote) and quickly hide her body in one of crypts.

Heart of Stone

General assumptions: Murder Jade in an arranged accident using the crane.

This challenge is completed in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. Start with getting Agency technician disguise (the best is ready-to-wear-costume). Find Jade and let her walk you to the dug out grave (in the meantime try to avoid another technician).

Wait until Jade stands under the crane and press the button to crush her.

Crossed Out

General assumptions: Murder Jade in an arranged accident using the unstable tunnel.

This challenge is completed in the Burnwood Family Tomb stage. Start with getting the gasoline can, taking for example the one on the small clearing.

Go to the one of unstable tunnel and place the gasoline can inside the tunnel.

Wait until Jade appears in the tunnel and shoot twice the can. The explosion will make the tunnel to collapse thus killing Jade.

Numb

General assumptions: Complete Heart of Stone and Crossed Out challenges, associated with eliminating Jade in arranged accidents (Burnwood Family Tomb stage).

Arm's Length Principle

General assumptions: Blow up the praetorian.

This challenge is completed in the Crematorium stage. Depending on your preferences you can use remote explosives (screen 1) or proximity mine or laser trap destroyed in the right moment (screen 2) to kill praetorian. It is important that he dies in the explosion.

Predator

General assumptions: Kill three praetorians with the garrote.

This challenge is completed in the Crematorium stage. Get close to praetorian, lure on of them to move towards Hitman (with throwable object for example) and then use a garrote (screen above). What's interesting, you do not have to kill them in a one row. If you get spotted, you can return to the mission begin and try once again.

It Ain't Over Until

General assumptions: This challenge is automatically unlocked after completing the Absolution mission.

The Higher Ground Part 1

General assumptions: Get three headshots with the sniper rifle without being spotted and without alerting other enemies.

This challenge can be completed in the Cemetery Entrance stage. Stay at the starting point and use the sniper rifle. Aim at the single enemies, which are not observed by other opponents.

The Higher Ground Part 2

General assumptions: Get five headshots with the sniper rifle without being spotted and without alerting other enemies. Do it in 10 seconds. This challenge is an extensive version of previous one. I suggest eliminating enemies gathered left from the cemetery gate. Try to get one-shot-one-kill because your clip has 5 bullets and you can't waste the time to reload.

The Higher Ground Part 3

General assumptions: Get seven headshots with the sniper rifle without being spotted and without alerting other enemies. This challenge is an extensive version of previous two. Carefully select your targets, eliminating only those enemies, who are clearly separated from others and no one can see them.
