Introduction:
Enter a world of assassination. HITMAN is not only a breath of fresh air but it is also a return to its roots, with wide open levels and a wide variety of ways to assassinate your target. This game will punish you for going into a level guns blazing; rather, take your time and plan out your moves carefully before launching your attack. Without further adieu, let's get started!

General Tips + Things to Remember

Plan accordingly. You can look at the challenges when prepping for a mission and during the mission. Use this to select the best starting location and the gear that will allow you to complete the mission in the way you want.
Although not fully necessary, I would suggest waiting to do Escalation contracts until you unlock every starting location. You will find that some escalations are much, much easier when a target is really close to a starting location.
You do NOT have to do an entire Escalation contract in one run. If you get stuck on a level, you can quit out and do another mission or even another escalation and the game will save the level you are on, allowing you to resume where you left off.
When going for the mastery achievements, you do not need to complete the entire mission for the completed challenges to register. If you are able to, you can save strategically and load up at that instant in order to complete a bunch of challenges in one run for a lot of XP.
Save often. Some areas are quite difficult to get down right, so don’t feel ashamed to save right before and load that save back up if you screw up. You are not deducted any points for reloading saves, so save yourself the frustration and just do it.

Step 1: Intro Pack
The Intro Pack contains two levels. One where you must assassinate two targets on a yacht where a party is being held, and the ICA Training Facility, where you must assassinate a chess master who is defecting to the Soviets. This level will introduce you to all of the game’s mechanics and will provide you with a very sweet taste of what is to come. All of the achievements here are extremely straightforward and you can complete all of them in 2-3 hours tops.

Step 1A: Contracts
Contracts is a mode that allows other players to complete a level in any way that they want, marking whoever they want as targets. When they finish, it will be put up for other players to enjoy and try to achieve the best score. There are a few achievements related to this mode, all of which are extremely straightforward. The only one that could give one any trouble is “Top of the Class” which requires the player to set a high score on a contract.

Step 2: Paris, France
This is the first true level of the game. Set in Paris, you are tasked with assassinating Dalia Margolis and Viktor Novikov, the ringleaders of a secret organization known as IAGO. The first thing you will want to do is complete the mission for the first time ("When No One Else Dares"). Then, you will want to select a different starting location and item smuggle location ("Well Prepared"). Now, you’ll want to complete all of the opportunities ("So Many Ways to Stop the Show"). Following this, you will want to focus on completing the secret achievements in the level ("The Showstopper" and "Meeting the Reaper"), which will also complete some challenges. After, you will want to complete an Escalation contract ("Paris Escalated"), which will net you with 5000XP. To finish it all off, you will want to complete as many challenges that you need in order to reach mastery level 20 ("City of Light").

Step 3: Sapienza, Italy
Complete the mission for the first time ("Die by the Sword"). First thing you can knock out right away is selecting a different starting location and item smuggle location ("Plan Ahead"). After this, you should focus on completing all of the available opportunities ("Not in the Guidebook"). Following this, you can choose to complete the secret achievements ("The Sapienza Trinity" and "Let No Joyful Voice Be Heard"). Then, you can complete one of the Escalation contracts available for Sapienza ("Sapienza Escalated"). Finally, you can wrap the level up by completing as many challenges as you need to reach mastery level 20 ("Amalfi Pearl").

Step 4: Marrakesh, Morocco
You know the routine by now. Complete the mission for the first time ("Too Big to Fail"). Select a different starting location and item smuggling location ("Careful Planning"). Knock out each of the secret achievements (".50 Personal Touch" and "Unfortunate Fortune"). Complete all opportunities ("Tourist Attractions"). Complete an Escalation contract ("Marrakesh Escalated"). Finally, complete as many challenges as needed to reach mastery level 20 ("Ancient Marrakesh").

Step 5: Summer Bonus Episode
This episode is a little different. Instead of being one new location, it reuses Sapienza and Marrakesh for two shorter but fantastic missions: “The Icon” and “A House Built on Sand.” Complete each for the first time ("A Night at the Movies" and "Morrocan Nights"). Complete the secret achievement for each level ("Stealing the Spotlight" and "A Series of Unfortunate Events"). Now complete all opportunities in each level ("Touring the Film Set" and "A Golden Opportunity"). Finally, complete the “Silent Assassin” and “Suit Only” challenge in either “The Icon” or “A House Built on Sand” ("Perfectionist").

Step 6: Bangkok, Thailand
Complete the mission for the first time ("Shining Bright"). Select a different starting location and item smuggling location ("Scouting for Talent"). Knock out each of the secret achievements ("Drop the Bass" and "Elephants Never Forget"). Complete all opportunities (”Guest Starring”). Complete an Escalation contract ("Bangkok Escalated"). Finally, complete as many challenges as needed to reach mastery level 20 ("One Night in Bangkok").

Step 7: Colorado, USA
Complete the mission for the first time ("Guerrilla Warfare"). Select a different starting location and item smuggling location (”Joint Operation”). Knock out each of the secret achievements ("Soup Sandwich" and "Giddy Up"). Complete all opportunities ("A Feather in Your Cap"). Complete the Escalation contract ("Colorado Escalated"). Finally, complete as many challenges as needed to reach mastery level 20 ("Mission Complete").

Step 8: Hokkaido, Japan
Complete the mission for the first time ("A Long Time Coming"). Select a different starting location and item smuggling location ("Come Prepared"). Knock out each of the secret achievements ("Master of Old and New" and "Flatline"). Complete all opportunities ("The Sensei"). Complete the Escalation contract ("Hokkaido Escalated"). Finally, complete as many challenges as needed to reach mastery level 20 ("Sayonara").

Step 9: Landslide Mission
This bonus episode, which sees Agent 47 back in Sapienza in order to take down a corrupt politician, is the final mission you'll have to work on. While it's very short, it offers a wide array of enjoyable opportunities and challenges. There are three achievements in this episode. Complete the mission for the first time and you will unlock "Bravissimo;" complete all five opportunities and you will earn "Finito;" finally, eliminate the target by impalement, pen, and fireworks explosion, and you will unlock "Your Vote Counts."

Conclusion:
All in all, Hitman is not only one of the best stealth games on the market right now, but it is also a welcome return to Hitman’s roots with large, wide open levels that involve a wide variety of methods to assassinate a target. The completion isn’t too hard but the Escalation contracts and some of the challenges can prove to be extremely challenging. If at any point you are stuck, refer to the guide below or the YouTube links provided. Congratulations!

[XBA would like to thank Slaughter. and BiggD for this Roadmap]

Silent Assassin

30
Complete The Final Test unspotted. Kill only Jasper Knight, ensuring his body is not found.
(7)
This achievement is fairly straightforward and won’t provide too much of a challenge to anyone familiar with the Hitman franchise. To achieve the Silent Assassin rating, you must complete the mission satisfying the following conditions:
- Never be spotted - Never get into combat and don’t let the suspicion meter to the point where it alerts you to being “Suspicious.” Further more, you can not be spotted trespassing and you can’t get “Hunted.” Not even the target can see you, even if you kill them right after. If any of these happen, reload a previous save.
- Kill nobody except for the mission targets - Nobody can die except who the mission tells you to kill. Even if the people die in an accident, it still counts against you.
- No bodies found - Hide all bodies if you can. If you aren’t able to reach a container to dump the bodies in, drag the bodies to a spot where you are sure the NPCs won’t wander to. This does not apply if the mission target dies in an accident; their bodies can stay out in the open and you will still get Silent Assassin. Just make sure that you don’t linger around their bodies too long so you don’t make yourself suspicious.
- Never be seen on camera - There are two ways to not get caught on camera: shoot it before it can catch you (make sure no one hears it or sees it blow up) or delete the footage from the main security room. When deleting footage from the security room, make sure no one sees you as it is understandably considered a suspicious act. If you are not caught on camera, then you do not need to worry about deleting footage.
The Result of Previous Training

15
Complete Freeform Training in the Prologue.
This is story-related and can not be missed. This is the second mission in the intro pack and allows you to complete the mission any way you see fit. It is meant to prepare you and give you a taste of what is to come.
Tools of the Trade

30
Assassinate Targets with Ballistic, Accident and Explosion Kills.
(1)
There are many ways a target can be killed in the game, and this achievement wants you to experiment with some of those options.
- Ballistic Kill - Kill a target with a gun
- Accidental Kill - Environmental kills (pushing over an edge, drowning, etc.)
- Explosive Kill - Target must die directly from an explosion
The first two are relatively self explanatory, but if you need extra help on the explosive one then follow these steps:
1. Grab the remote explosive at the start of the level.
2. Get a guard uniform (one is distracted and not paying attention in the little shack near the entrance of the yacht).
3. Make your way to the top deck and sneak into Ritter's office.
4. Place the explosive out of sight near the desk.
5. Wait for the two to come into the room and detonate the explosive.
Once you have killed a target in all three of these fashions, the achievement will unlock.
Cleared for Field Duty

15
Complete The Final Test in the Prologue.
Story-related and cannot be missed.
Seizing the Opportunity

15
Complete any Opportunity in The Final Test.
(1)
At the start of every level, you can open up the menu and track opportunities. Track and complete any of the them for the achievement to unlock.
The Creative Assassin

15
Complete the Contract Creation Tutorial.
After completing Freeform training, enter the Contracts tab from the Main Menu. Follow the prompts from here until you complete the Contracts tutorial on the yacht mission. The achievement will unlock upon finishing the tutorial.
Chameleon

10
Change your disguise during The Final Test.
This achievement is pretty self explanatory. When you knock out or kill somebody, you can interact with their body and put on their clothes/disguise. The achievement will immediately unlock upon changing into a different disguise.
Training Escalated

30
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in the ICA Facility.
(3)
Escalation contracts are a new addition to the franchise that involve one contract that gets progressively harder with all the conditions that get added to each level. Some are easier than others, but the default one on the ICA facility is called "The Snorrason Ascension." The conditions for each level are as follows:
- Level 1: Assassinate Cilas Netzke (KGB Colonel) while wearing the Soviet Soldier disguise using a pistol (starting silenced pistol works just fine for this)
- Level 2: Same as level 1 + break into the safe.
- Level 3: Same as level 1+2 + assassinate Moses Butusov (Knight's bodyguard) while wearing the Hanger Mechanic disguise using any weapon
- Level 4: Same as levels 1-3 + hide all bodies within 90 seconds
- Level 5: Same as level 4 + do not kill or pacify anyone other than the targets
If you're struggling with this, here's a video for further assistance on Level 5 (you can use the exact strategies for lower levels). Credit to 360GameTV.
Contract Assassin

10
Complete 10 Contracts.
(4)
Contracts is a mode that is the closest thing the game has to multiplayer. One person will play through a level and pick a target. The target can be absolutely anybody. When they complete the mission upon killing whoever they selected as their target, it is published for all Hitman players around the world to experience for themselves. There are thousands of contracts spread across all the levels to choose from, so it is fully encouraged to pick whatever ones you want to do, as they can either quite enjoyable or extremely difficult!

However you do this, upon completing the tenth Contract, the achievement will unlock.
Top of the Class

15
Set the high score on a Contract.
(11)
For this achievement, I would suggest looking for a contract that nobody has played and/or is very easy to complete. The vast majority of them will take place on the ICA Facility and will task you with killing the guard at the front gate however you want.

If, for whatever reason, you are struggling to get this, you can have a friend create a contract and purposely do extremely poorly on it (killing everyone, being seen, etc.) so it is as easy as possible to get the high score.

However you decide to go about this, once you obtain the high score on a contract, the achievement will unlock.
Unseen Assassin

15
Assassinate a Target without getting spotted.
(1)
For this achievement, you must assassinate the target of a mission without you being seen doing it. You can do it however you like so long as it is quick and quiet enough to be able to kill him without being spotted.
Security Defeated

10
Arrange matters so that a guard finds a discarded weapon and moves it into the hangar.
(4)
This is set on the ICA Facility level. All you have to do is drop a gun in a spot where a guard will see it. When he does see the firearm, he will investigate and bring the gun into the hangar. You can steal it back if you want to, but it is not required for the achievement.
A New Profile

15
Complete a Featured Contract.
(1)
Featured contracts are pretty much the exact same as regular Contracts. The only difference is that they are highlighted by IO Interactive. Featured contracts are given their own tab in the Contracts menu, so complete any one of them for the achievement.

Shhhh

15
Pacify any individual.
(1)
You will get this through natural progression. To subdue an enemy, sneak up behind them and press and tap it repeatedly in order to knock them out. Regardless of who you do it to, the achievement will unlock upon pacifying any character.
K-36D

15
Assassinate Jasper Knight with a sabotaged ejector seat.
(4)
This is the signature accident kill in the level. To do it is pretty simple, here's what you need to do:
1. Get a disguise that allows you into the hangar. There is a guard checking the contents of the truck towards the left of where you start.
2. Interact with the safety protocol checklist next to the jet.
3. Head into the locker room and put on the mechanic disguise and grab the wrench.
4. Go over to the jet and look underneath the cockpit. Interact with it when the other mechanics aren't looking to sabotage it.
5. Go up the stairs and talk to Knight. Lead him to the plane and when he gets into it, complete the safety protocols with him. He will fly into the sky and die.
6. Exit the area.
Once you have killed him in this fashion, the achievement will unlock.
Unexpected Guest

30
Disguise yourself as Mr. Norfolk and assassinate Kalvin Ritter.
(4)
There are two relatively easy ways to go about this. One way is to disguise yourself as a waiter and poison Norfolk's drink with rat poison and subdue him in the bathroom. Put his close on and talk to Ritter. Follow him to his room and kill him however you want while wearing Norfolk's clothes.

The other way (which is what I did) is to pick up the coins right at the start. Run to the alley across from the yacht and use the coins to lure Norfolk behind the wooden fence. When he goes to investigate the sound, subdue him and take his clothes. Then, proceed to talk to Ritter and follow him to his office. Kill him once the door shuts.

However you go about this, the achievement will unlock when you kill Ritter while dressed as Norfolk.
Defection Deterred

15
Arrange matters so that the KGB Colonel kills Jasper Knight.
(5)
This is probably the most difficult achievement in the intro levels (not including Paris), but even then, it isn't too hard. Here's what you have to do:
1. From the start, head to the right and climb over the fence to infiltrate the facility.
2. Turn off the generator and hide. When the soldier comes over to investigate, wait for him to turn it off and then subdue him. Take his clothes and weapon.
3. Pick up the slides on the desk after hearing the two soldiers talking about it (related to an opportunity).
4. Put the slides into the projector and wait for the Colonel and Knight to meet. They will start a conversation.
5. Head out the door to the left of the projector and trip the breaker box. Knight will be touching the projector, investigating what is wrong with it. While he is doing this, the Colonel will go outside and turn on the breaker box, electrocuting Knight to death.
6. Exit the level.
Once Knight dies when the Colonel turns the breaker box on, the achievement will unlock.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 150 points

When No One Else Dares

20
Complete The Showstopper.
(1)
This will unlock the first time you complete the mission in Paris. You are tasked with assassinating Viktor Novikov and Dalia Margolis. How you do this is totally your choice, but I would recommend following one of the game’s opportunities (each can be tracked right from the start of the level) that deal with each target.
So Many Ways to Stop the Show

30
Complete all Opportunities in The Showstopper.
(4)
There are a total of eight opportunities available in “The Showstopper.” You can track each of these right from the start, and if you keep the option on, the game will put a waypoint on each objective related to the opportunity. Be aware that some opportunities take a while to play out if you miss the time window, but none are really “missable.” Just be aware that if you kill a target, the other opportunities relating to them will obviously no longer be available, and you’ll need to do them on a separate playthrough.

Here is a list containing the name and the general summary of each one:
- 15 Seconds of Fame - Disguise yourself as Helmut Kreuger to gain a private meeting with Dalia Margolis.
- A Drink to Die For - Disguise yourself as a bartender to poison Novikov’s favorite alcoholic beverage.
- A Private Meeting - Disguise yourself as the bodyguard to watch over the meeting between Kurt Decker and Viktor Novikov.
- A Quick Break - The auction hosted by IAGO at the top floor of the building is run via a laptop. Sabotage the laptop and you can catch Margolis off guard when she takes a break.
- A Rare Scoop - Set up the interview between the journalist and Novikov. You can conceal an explosive in the camera and detonate it to kill him.
- Guest of Honor - Disguise yourself as the Sheikh to infiltrate the auction.
- Lights Out - Rig the lights that hover over the walkway so that they will fall on Novikov when he steps on stage.
- Playing With Fire - Set off the fireworks. Setting this off will get both of the targets outside, where you can snipe them from a distance or push Margolis over the edge so that she’ll land on Novikov for the challenge.
Paris Escalated

20
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Paris.
(5)
There is a wide variety of Escalation contracts available in Paris. Some are easier than others. I would personally recommend doing “The Marsden Isotopy” since it is relatively easy and quick. Here is a video list below where a full walkthrough is shown for each level.

Level 1: https://youtu.be/Wz-9_IvB7u0?list=PL...6fTSbHM67UfSfd
Level 2: https://youtu.be/bKIitNeI4-o?list=PL...6fTSbHM67UfSfd
Level 3: https://youtu.be/JEP8zXddbxU?list=PL...6fTSbHM67UfSfd
Level 4: https://youtu.be/I7UgFYr4wOc?list=PL...6fTSbHM67UfSfd
Level 5: https://youtu.be/L80GnHKVwBM?list=PL...6fTSbHM67UfSfd
Well Prepared

10
Select a Starting Location and use an Agency Pickup to smuggle an item into Paris.
You will most likely get this naturally when going for the mastery achievement. All you have to do is select a different starting location and gear smuggle location (you can smuggle anything like a heavy weapon or even another piece of small gear that you didn’t have room for). The achievement will unlock the moment the mission loads.
City of Light

40
Reach Paris Mastery Level 20.
(4)
To increase your mastery level towards a mission, you must complete more and more challenges. In the challenges menu, you can scroll through the menu in the pause screen. There are multiple categories of challenges that are in every level and a category specific to the level. These categories are: assassination, discovery, feats, targets, and the level specific one. They may seem a little intimidating at first but rest assured they are quite fun and not as hard as you’d think. They range in value from 1000XP to 5000XP. It takes 6000XP to rank up in mastery level. There are some common themes throughout each of the levels, and I would personally recommend you do these because they are fun and easy(ish).
- A lot of the assassination challenges are based around opportunities. After an opportunity is completed, follow them around until they get into a position that sets them up for a challenge, and then complete it.
- The discovery challenges are all based on starting at a certain location and exiting via a certain location. These are worth 1000XP each and are extremely quick and easy ways of earning XP.
- Sniper Assassin: you must complete the mission by sniping the target(s). You must also complete the mission without being seen, not being caught on camera, and you must not kill anyone except for the targets. You must smuggle in a silenced sniper rifle in a large agency pick up.
- Suit-Only + Silent Assassin: this is generally the hardest challenge there is. It is actually quite fun to do and if you are struggling, you can simply look up the solution on YouTube. There is also a challenge for doing both of these separately, so you will get quite a bit of experience if you can do this.
- Escalation Contracts will give you 5000XP, which is a pretty decent boost if you are trying to get to the next level.
This seems daunting at first but it is actually quite enjoyable and it makes you experience the many ways there are to complete a mission. Once you hit mastery level 20, the achievement will unlock.

NOTE: When you complete a challenge, you do not need to finish the level for it to register. In fact, you can even load up a previous save and it will still register a challenge as being completed. Use this to your advantage to minimize the amount of times you have to set up the circumstances for you to kill the target(s).

The Showstopper

15
Assassinate Viktor Novikov in a light rig accident.
(4)
This achievement is related to the “Lights Out” opportunity. Follow it through and when the lights fall on Novikov, the achievement will unlock.
Meeting the Rieper

15
Become Tobias Reaper.
(4)
Becoming Reaper is quite simple to be frank. All you have to do is run around the back of the building and look for a pipe that leads directly up. Climb it all the way to the top and go into the building. Go to the auction and sit down in the empty chair. Wait for Margolis to come over and she will address you as Reaper. Once she does this, the achievement will unlock.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 150 points

Die by the Sword

20
Complete World of Tomorrow.
(2)
This will unlock the first time you complete the mission. I would suggest using the opportunities to allow you to eliminate the targets as smoothly and entertainingly as possible.
Not in the Guidebook

30
Complete all Opportunities in World of Tomorrow.
(5)
There are a total of 10 opportunities found in "World of Tomorrow." Each can be tracked right from the start. Here is a list of them all:
- A Case Most Peculiar - Disguise yourself as the hired private investigator. When you meet De Santis in the tunnel, kill her and put her body in the dumpster.
- Absolution - Sneak into the morgue in the church and disguise yourself as the scientist who died in the lab accident. Take the key card and you can sneak into the underground lab.
- Beyond the Grave - Play Silvio's mother's favorite record in her old room. Lure him to the room and when he investigates and listens, kill him and hide his body in the container.
- By Candlelight - Disguise yourself as the golf coach and meet with De Santis in her room. When her back is turned, kill her and hide her body in the container.
- Catharsis - Disguise yourself as the therapist. While you are in session as the therapist, smother Caruso with the pillow to kill him. Hide his body.
- First Day on the Job - Disguise yourself as the chef hired by Silvio to replicate his mother's spaghetti sauce recipe. Make the sauce, but use the rat poison in the kitchen to spike it. Ring the bell and when it is served to Silvio, wait for him to go over to the cliffside to throw up. Push him off the edge.
- Hostile Environment - Disguise yourself in a hazmat suit to get into the room containing the virus.
- Memento - Break into the safe in the attic to steal the memento.
- Memory Lane - Play the video of Silvio as a child in the observatory. When he comes to investigate, kill him while he watches and hide the body.
- The Good Son - Disguise yourself as the flower delivery man and deliver the flower to the grave of Silvio's mother. When he comes to mourn, kill him however you want.
Once all of these have been completed, the achievement will unlock.
Sapienza Escalated

20
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Sapienza.
(2)
Fortunately, there is an Escalation Contract in Sapienza that is extremely fast and easy called "The Szilassi Darkness." To make this even faster, wait until you can unlock the ICA Safehouse as your starting location. Smuggle in the Jaeger-7 sniper rifle in the same location. From here you can snipe the targets with ease and exit the level. I personally completed this contract in under ten minutes.

Below is the walkthrough that basically shows what is explained above in video format.
Plan Ahead

10
Select a Starting Location and use an Agency Pickup to smuggle an item into Sapienza.
You will most likely get this naturally when going for the mastery achievement. All you have to do is select a different starting location and gear smuggle location (you can smuggle anything like a heavy weapon or even another piece of small gear that you didn’t have room for). The achievement will unlock the moment the mission loads.

The Sapienza Trinity

15
Eliminate Silvio during therapy, down his plane with a cannon and shoot him through the telescope.
(2)
Eliminating Silvio during therapy is related to the "Catharsis" opportunity. Follow it through and smother him at the end.

Downing his plane is a little difficult and is a long process, however. Describing it in text would only leave you lost and confused, so please refer to the video link below.

Sniping him through the telescope is also a little bit more time consuming to set up but it isn't too hard. Smuggle in the Jaeger-7 sniper rifle in and run to the church. Look for the white box under the telescope in the observatory and shoot it. Wait for Silvio to look through the telescope and then shoot it. A cutscene will play if you land the shot.

If you need video assistance, follow the link below. Thanks to PowerPyx for the video.
Let No Joyful Voice be Heard

15
Awaken the Kraken!
(8)
This easter egg is related to summoning the Kraken out of the ocean. To do it, you have to snipe four bells in a specific order. Describing it in text would only confuse you, so follow the video below for an easy achievement.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 150 points

Too Big to Fail

20
Complete A Gilded Cage.
(1)
Complete the mission for the first time and this will unlock. I would advise using one of the game's opportunities to take out the targets, just so you don't have to do it later.
Tourist Attractions

30
Complete all Opportunities in A Gilded Cage.
There are a total of 8 opportunities in "A Gilded Cage." As always, they can be tracked from the start and can be done in any order.

Marrakesh Escalated

20
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Marrakesh.
(2)
There are multiple escalation contracts set in Marrakesh, but the one I personally did was "The Ignatiev Integrity". As always there are five levels. A video for each level can be found below. Once level 5 is completed, the achievement will unlock.

Level 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4VIHW3Cjuo
Level 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05JSGHTG0p8
Level 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibj2aTgTZHk
Level 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAefWpj9BBM
Level 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn-iSoi3mKE
Careful Planning

10
Select a Starting Location and use an Agency Pickup to smuggle an item into Marrakesh.
You will most likely get this naturally when going for the mastery achievement. All you have to do is select a different starting location and gear smuggle location (you can smuggle anything like a heavy weapon or even another piece of small gear that you didn’t have room for). The achievement will pop the moment the mission loads.
Ancient Marrakesh

40
Reach Marrakesh Mastery Level 20.
To increase your mastery level towards a mission, you must complete more and more challenges. In the challenges menu, you can scroll through the menu in the pause screen. There are multiple categories of challenges that are in every level and a category specific to the level. These categories are: assassination, discovery, feats, targets, and the level specific one. They may seem a little intimidating at first but rest assured they are quite fun and not as hard as you’d think. They range in value from 1000XP to 5000XP. It takes 6000XP to rank up in mastery level. There are some common themes throughout each of the levels, and I would personally recommend you do these because they are fun and easy(ish).
- A lot of the assassination challenges are based around opportunities. After an opportunity is completed, follow them around until they get into a position that sets them up for a challenge, and then complete it.
- The discovery challenges are all based on starting at a certain location and exiting via a certain location. These are worth 1000XP each and are extremely quick and easy ways of earning XP.
- Sniper Assassin: you must complete the mission by sniping the target(s). You must also complete the mission without being seen, not being caught on camera, and you must not kill anyone except for the targets. You must smuggle in a silenced sniper rifle in a large agency pick up.
- Suit-Only + Silent Assassin: this is generally the hardest challenge there is. It is actually quite fun to do and if you are struggling, you can simply look up the solution on YouTube. There is also a challenge for doing both of these separately, so you will get quite a bit of experience if you can do this.
- Escalation Contracts will give you 5000XP, which is a pretty decent boost if you are trying to get to the next level.
This seems daunting at first but it is actually quite enjoyable and it makes you experience the many ways there are to complete a mission. Once you hit mastery level 20, the achievement will unlock.

NOTE: When you complete a challenge, you do not need to finish the level for it to register. In fact, you can even load up a previous save and it will still register a challenge as being completed. Use this to your advantage to minimize the amount of times you have to set up the circumstances for you to kill the target(s).

.50 Personal Touch

15
Assassinate Zaydan, as the prisoner, Strandberg during his massage, and both with the APC turret.
(2)
This achievement is earned by completing the objectives in three ways:
- Assassinate General Zaydan while disguised as the prisoner
- Assassinate Strindberg while disguised as his masseur during the session
- Rig the APC turret to mow everybody down in front of the school
These are tied to opportunities (follow the targets around after the opportunities are completed in order to set up the circumstances). Again, describing it in text would be quite lengthy and likely result in you getting lost, so please refer to the video below if you are struggling with any of these.
Unfortunate Fortune

15
Demonstrate generosity.
(4)
This achievement is earned by giving the begging fortune teller 5 gold coins. You can bring coins in (3x) and you can find coins in multiple places throughout the level. There are 5 located on the front desk in the shoe shop in front of the "secret entrance" to the underground complex that connects the abandoned school to the main building.

For video assistance, refer below. However you do it, the achievement will unlock when you drop 5 coins in his bowl.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 120 points

Perfectionist

30
Complete Suit Only and Silent Assassin Challenges on “The Icon”, “A House Built on Sand” or “Landslide”
(2)
As the description says, you must complete the Suit Only and Silent Assassin Challenges in either mission (doesn't have to be both). It also does not have to be both in one playthrough; if Suit Only is a little too daunting for you, you can split them up into two playthroughs. I would also highly recommend doing this for "The Icon" because it is much easier due to the fact that there is only one target.

If you need video assistance, refer to the walkthrough below. Credit to MrFreeze2244.
A Night at the Movies

15
Complete “The Icon”.
Complete the mission for the first time. As usual, I would recommend using one of the opportunities provided at the start.
Touring the Film Set

15
Complete all Opportunities in “The Icon”.
There are four opportunities to be completed in the icon. As always, they can be completed in any order and can be tracked from the start of the level.
- An Explosive Ending - Rig the explosives to detonate and kill Bosco.
- Light My Fire - Use the "lavish" flames to ignite the ring of fire that he flies through to burn him alive.
- Something to Chew On - Rig the prop teeth to kill Bosco.
- Time to Meet the Fans - Catch Bosco when he takes his armor off during the Q&A session with his fans. Kill him here.
Once the last opportunity has been completed, the achievement will unlock.
Moroccan Nights

15
Complete “A House Built on Sand”.
Complete the mission for the first time. As usual, I would recommend using one of the opportunities provided at the start
A Golden Opportunity

15
Complete all Opportunities in “A House Built on Sand”.
(1)
There are four opportunities in this mission. They can each be tracked from the start and completed in any order.
- Gone Shopping - Steal the keys to the cafe from the missing bodyguard.
- Rent Due - Tail one of the guests to his private property and steal his card to get into the party.
- The Future Foretold - Disguise yourself as the fortune teller and kill Mendola when he is asking for his fortune (turn on the smoke machine to avoid being spotted).
- Waiting for the Man - Disguise yourself as a bodyguard and escort Mendola to the meeting place.
Once the fourth opportunity has been completed, the achievement will unlock.

Stealing the Spotlight

15
Assassinate Bosco with the monster teeth, in a pyrotechnics explosion, and in a fire.
As the achievement description states, you will need to kill Bosco in three different ways (these tie in to the opportunities).
- Impale him on the monster teeth.
- Kill him in an explosion.
- Burn him alive
Please refer the video below if you are struggling at all. Once he is killed in all three of these ways, the achievement will unlock.
A Series of Unfortunate Events

15
Eliminate Mendola with the crystal ball, Kong in an electrocution, and both by poisoning the pipe.
(1)
Once again, you will need to complete the objectives in a variety of ways to unlock this achievement. You will need to:
- Bash Mendola's head in with the crystal ball while disguised as the fortune teller.
- Electrocute Kong in the leaking water.
- Poison the pipe they get high off of to kill them both.
Once all three of these have been completed, the achievement will unlock. Refer to the video below for assistance.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 150 points

Shining Bright

20
Complete Club 27.
This will unlock the first time you complete the mission. I would suggest using the opportunities to allow you to eliminate the targets as smoothly and entertainingly as possible.
Guest Starring

30
Complete all Opportunities in Club 27.
(6)
There are a total of 8 opportunities in this level. A list providing a general summary is as follows:
- Are "Friends" Electric - Take the faulty Branson MD-2 and swap it with the mic in the studio. After mixing the perfect song, Cross will go into the booth and start singing. Interact with the speaker (follow the wire) while he is singing and it will explode and kill him.
- Bugman - Disguise yourself as an exterminator. Unleash the gas in the vents on the first floor to put everyone to sleep. Wait until Cross and his team come down and when Morgan is in here as well before unleashing it to knock them out. Head over to their unconscious bodies and break their necks (when no one is looking) to kill them.
- Intervention - Sneak into Cross's room and play the audio recording of Cross murdering his girlfriend. He will come into his room alone and in shock; kill him.
- It's My Party - Arrange Cross's birthday party by getting the cake topper from the kitchen. Cross will show up and have an outburst about his father. Wait until everyone leaves and smother him in the cake for the challenge while you're at it.
- Man Machine - Disguise yourself as De Silva the drummer (whom Cross has not met) to get close to Cross and kill him.
- On the House - Disguise yourself as hotel cleaning staff to get Morgan and his bodyguard in his room. The opportunity will complete when you follow it through to the bathroom. Drown him in the toilet or wait until he goes outside and push him over the edge for the challenges.
- The Smoking Gun - Arrange the secret meeting for Morgan. Kill him when he least expects it.
- Tik Tuk - Morgan wants to purchase the gardener's tuk tuk as a souvenir, but it isn't working. Use the wrench and interact with the back of the vehicle to fix it and tell the gardener about it. When no one is looking, shoot the tank behind the vehicle. Wait (for a short while) until they both come back. When Morgan gets near the tuk tuk, shoot the gas puddle to blow up the vehicle, killing Morgan in a most unfortunate accident.
You can do these in any order and they can be tracked from the start. When you complete your last opportunity, the achievement will unlock.
Bangkok Escalated

20
Complete level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Bangkok.
You should be familiar with the way Escalation contracts work now. There are thankfully a couple to choose from, but the one that I did was "The Somsak Equation." It isn't too hard, but I would suggest waiting until your mastery level is high enough to unlock the starting location in the kitchen undercover as a chef. The targets and all you need to do throughout the contract is right around that area, so it saves a lot of time between failed attempts and restarts.

If you are still struggling, below is a video showing all levels. Full credit to MrFreeze2244.
Scouting for Talent

Drop the Bass

15
Eliminate both Morgan and Cross in a fall accident and both by dropping a coconut on their heads.
(9)
For this achievement, you have to kill Cross in a fall accident, Morgan in a fall accident, and both by dropping coconuts on their heads.

Eliminating both by falling is pretty self explanatory, but eliminating both with coconuts might be a little difficult. To do it, you want to follow the "Bug Man" opportunity. Wait until Cross is in the lobby at the ground floor (he will wait here for quite a while) and until Morgan goes to the front desk to ask for any mail for him. When both targets are in position, knock them out with the gas and save your game in case you mess up. Quickly run out and drag their bodies under the coconuts hanging by the tree. Shoot the coconuts to make them fall on Cross and Morgan. You will likely get a lot of heat dragging the bodies but as long as they both die this way (and by falling accidents), the achievement will unlock.
Elephants Never Forget

15
Poach Ivory.
(8)
Poaching ivory is an easter egg in Bangkok. There are a total of 18 small golden elephant statues that you must shoot and destroy for the achievement. They are all hidden in the penthouse where Morgan is staying (I would suggest completing the opportunity "On the House" so everyone in the room is cleared out, then you can kill Morgan and/or his bodyguard however you choose). Here is a video showing all the locations.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 150 points

Guerrilla Warfare

20
Complete Freedom Fighters.
Complete the level for the first time. As usual, I would suggest using an opportunity for each of the four targets.

NOTE: At the end of the mission, you will need to get into the basement of the room using Sean Rose's face. Go upstairs and use the 3D printer to print the face mask.
A Feather In Your Cap

30
Complete all Opportunities in Freedom Fighters.
(1)
There are a total of 6 opportunities in this mission. As usual, they can all be tracked right from the start of the mission:
- Doomsday Watch - Use the phone to detonate the battery that Rose wears on his jacket
- Overpowered - Rig the explosive gel to explode and kill Rose when he tests it
- Point Man - Disguise yourself as the Point Man and complete the training drill; use the ram to assassinate Parvati in an accident
- The Audition - Disguise yourself as the Interpol agent to get close to Graves near the slurry pit
- Tongue Tied - Administer an overdose to the prisoner in the basement of the farm; assassinate Berg when he goes down to check on him
- Unclean - Exploit Rose's OCD against him so he has a mental breakdown in the bathroom; kill him in the bathroom
As usual, you can tackle these in any order you like. When the last opportunity is completed, the achievement will unlock.
Colorado Escalated

20
Complete level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Colorado.
(2)
This achievement is extremely annoying and quite difficult. I would not suggest taking this on until you are able select the Militia Technician starter location. Also, I would strong suggest waiting until you unlock the silenced SMG and are an expert in the level’s layout.

You do not need to get silent assassin like the video below but it helps to take the same cautions. You will likely struggle on level 3 until the end, so do not hesitate to use it. Full credit and huge thanks to MrFreeze2244.
Joint Operation

10
Select a Starting Location and use an Agency Pickup to smuggle an item into Colorado.
You will most likely get this naturally when going for the mastery achievement. All you have to do is select a different starting location and gear smuggle location (you can smuggle anything like a heavy weapon or even another piece of small gear that you didn’t have room for). The achievement will pop the moment the mission loads.

Soup Sandwich

15
Ram Rose and Parvati, make Berg blow himself up and drown Graves.
(3)
Ramming Rose and Parvati is related to the "Point Man" opportunity. To ram them both at the same time, make sure that you make that the first thing you do in the mission, because it takes a long time for the two targets paths to intersect. Follow through with the opportunity until you get to the training drill. Turn off the safety to the ram and then complete the drill. After, Rose and Parvati will both come over to discuss the drill's results. While they are talking, go over to where Parvati was standing and press the button. The ram will kill them both in one fell swoop.

To make Ezra Berg blow himself up, you will want to follow through with the "Tongue Tied" opportunity. Make your way into the basement of the house and administer the overdose to the prisoner. As soon as you do this, make your way to the barn next to the house where Berg has cameras set up to watch the interrogation. Sneak into the shed and use a wrench (found in the small shed near the back of the house) to loosen the valve to the propane tank next to the table. When Berg gets back, he will cause the tank to explode, killing him instantly in an unfortunate accident.

To drown Graves, you need to follow through with "The Audition" opportunity. At the end of the opportunity, wait until Graves asks for a moment of privacy while she reflects on her options. She conveniently stands right next to the slurry pit while doing this. When no one is looking, push her over the edge and she will fall in and drown.

Once all three of these have been completed, the achievement will unlock.
Giddy Up

15
Yee-haw to the hoedown.
(25)
This achievement is related to the Easter egg found in Colorado. Around the back of the house near the barn, there is a drill sergeant having his men do push ups. You must grab one of the apricots and throw it at his head, then run back to the radio on one of the tables and turn it on. This will make the soldiers dance, and the achievement will unlock.

For a more detailed walkthrough, refer to the video below.

There are 7 achievements with a total of 150 points

A Long Time Coming

20
Complete Situs Inversus.
Story-related, can not be missed. You will unlock this upon completing the mission for the first time regardless of how you do it. I would suggest using two opportunities to kill the targets (Yuki Yamasaki + Erich Soders), since you will have to complete them all anyway.
The Sensei

30
Complete all Opportunities in Situs Inversus.
(1)
There are a total of 7 opportunities to complete in Situs Inversus. All of them are quite straightforward but they do require some planning beforehand. A list containing the general summaries of each opportunity can be found below:
- Ghost in the Machine - Disguise yourself as the hospital director to gain access to the robot arms’ main control terminal and sabotage it to kill Soders in a horrific “accident”.
- Hot Springs - Disguise yourself as the yoga instructor in order to coach Yamasaki in a private session
- Makeover - Disguise yourself as Jason Portman, a high class patient who has undergone extensive surgery to look like Helmut Kreuger.
- Malpractice - Disguise yourself as the pilot that the chief surgeon frequently meets up with to take pills to deal with his medication.
- No Smoking - Plant a full pack of cigarettes in Yamazaki’s private quarters so that she’ll go enjoy them on her balcony in private.
- Tell-Tale Heart - Destroy the heart that is going to be transplanted into Soders.
- Thrill Seeker - Poison the sushi that is going to be served to Yamazaki with the fugu fish that is stored in the freezer in the kitchen.
You can tackle these in any order you choose. Regardless, when you complete an opportunity, make sure you finish the level in order for it to register.
Hokkaido Escalated

20
Complete level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Hokkaido.
This solution follows the “The Meiko Incarnation” contract. It is not nearly as difficult as the one in Colorado, but levels 3 and 4 can provide some trouble.

The best thing to do would be wait until you unlock the Hidden Mountain Path starting location and the pickup for that location, as well as the starting location in the morgue and the morgue pick up as well. When selecting your gear, pick the shuriken and lockpick to ensure the smoothest run possible. The only level that might really stump the player is level 5, and luckily for us, PowerPyx has a wonderful video showing his solution on how to quickly and easily beat it.
Come Prepared

10
Select a Starting Location and use an Agency Pickup to smuggle an item into Hokkaido.
You will most likely get this naturally when going for the mastery achievement. All you have to do is select a different starting location and gear smuggle location (you can smuggle anything like a heavy weapon or even another piece of small gear that you didn’t have room for). The achievement will pop the moment the mission loads.

Master of Old and New

15
Serve Yamazaki poisonous fugu fish and eliminate Soders with the robotic arms.
(3)
This achievement is tied to two of the mission’s opportunities. You can track both of them right from the start.

To kill Yamasaki with the fugu sushi, sneak into the kitchen down below the bar. You will see two chefs following a set pattern where they talk to each other. I would suggest trying to get one of their disguises. If you don’t have a coin, you can go to the back and turn on the sink and subdue him while he cleans it. Take his disguise and grab the kitchen knife on the counter behind him. Go into the meat locker in the corner of the room and you will see the fugu fish. Interact with it and it will be added to your inventory. Go back up to the bar and go all the way across the room to where the sushi is prepared. Poison the sushi with the fugu and then prepare it. Wait until Yamasaki walks near the counter to hit to serve. She will eat it and die immediately after.

To kill Soders with the arms, you will need to get the disguise of the doctor that has access to the mainframe. The doctor himself is never alone, but there is a way to force it. In the kitchen below the bar (where we got the fugu), there is a vial of rat poison hidden in a corner. Pick it up and go upstairs to the bar. On the end of the table there is a lone dish by where the bartender stands. Keep the chef disguise on and poison it with the rat poison. The bartender can see through your disguise so make sure to do it when he isn’t looking. Wait for the doctor to come into the room and he will eat the dish on his way out and get sick. Follow him into the bathroom, subdue him, take his clothes, and hide his body in the closet. Now, go into the building where Soders is being operated on. Make your way up to where the main console is located. Sabotage the mainframe in the correct order for it to shut off the safety mechanisms of the arms (a pattern will be flashed in the middle of the console so you know what order to sabotage the consoles in). Once it is disabled, go outside the room and interact with the terminal to cause the arms to malfunction. They will stab Soders's body multiple times all over and kill him in a very painful way.

Once both of these are accomplished, the achievement will unlock.
Flatline

15
Imagine meeting you here.
(5)
This Easter Egg is found in the morgue. In front of the room containing the heart, you will notice that there is an unconscious body in the wall. You can select the disposable scrambler as your gear (if your mastery level is high enough, you can even start in the morgue) in order to open it effortlessly. Once you open it, the achievement will unlock.

There are 3 achievements with a total of 40 points

Bravissimo

10
Complete Landslide.
This achievement will unlock upon completing the Landslide mission for the first time. Much like the missions in the base game, it's highly recommended to work on the Opportunities during this first playthrough as a means of eliminating your target smoothly.
Finito

15
Complete all Opportunities in Landslide.
There are a total of five opportunities available in Landslide. As always, they can all be tracked right from the start of the mission. Please see below for a brief checklist of each opportunity.
- Above the Law - Steal Bravuomo's disguise, meet Abiatti in his office, and kill him with the pen on his desk.
- Cheat Sheet - Sneak your way to the security van, hack the computer, and reschedule Abiatti's agenda.
- Dynamite Smile - Rewire the fireworks explosives at the docks, lure Abiatti to his photoshoot, and then trigger the firework show.
- No Absolution for the Wicked - Steal the priest's disguise, lure Abiatti to the church rooftop, and then push him over the ledge when he leans on the railing.
- Stage Fried - Tinker with the water pressure tank behind the stage, wait for Abiatti to give his speech on stage, and then turn on the guitar pedal board to short circuit the puddle beneath Abiatti.
Once all five opportunities have been successfully completed, this achievement will unlock.

Your Vote Counts

15
Eliminate Abiatti by impalement, pen and fireworks explosion.
(3)
All three of the assassination methods described in this achievement's description are tied to different opportunities for this mission. As a result, they can all be tracked as soon as the mission begins.

In order to kill Abiatti by impalement, you will want to follow the "No Absolution for the Wicked" opportunity. Follow the cues to lure Abiatti to the top of the church. Once you are here, simply push him over the ledge when he goes to lean on the railing and he will fall onto the steeple.

In order to kill Abiatti with a pen, you will want to follow the "Above the Law" opportunity. Follow the cues to get inside his office under disguise. When he arrives, he will dismiss his guards and eventually turn his back to you, leaning on the desk. When this happens, get behind him and press to smash his head down onto the pen on the desk.

In order to kill Abiatti by a fireworks explosion, you will want to follow the "Dynamite Smile" opportunity. Follow the cues to lure Abiatti to the docks for a small photo session. When the politician begins to pose, activate the camera () to detonate the fireworks.

The achievement will finally unlock once you have killed Abiatti in all three manners.
