Upgrade Custom Weapon Achievement Cheat/Glitch - Full credit to s1u5h13

I have edited it a little and made the grammer a touch better :)
Alright save up around 1.6 mill or so, then save.

Enter any level, im gonna pick "Till Death Us Do Part" or "A New Life" since they are the shortest. Goto upgrade weapons, upgrade any weapon you want to 100%, buy every upgrade you can, only for that 1 weapon then start the level, complete it, then you'll get the achievement for the weapon you fully upgraded. Shut off your console before saving! or continuing. DO NOT SAVE! If you then restart your console, and load your save game, you will still have all your cash, minus the upgraded weapon, but still holding the achievement you had just gained! Repeat as above but upgrading a different weapon each time, and you will be able to gain all the achievements for each gun, without having to earn enough money to do them all at the same time!!

Can be done on any difficulty, or spread out over multiple difficulties.. (achievement is given as soon as the weapon is upgraded and a level completed, not once all are upgraded at the same time)

Silent Assassin
A Silent Assassin rating has been awarded
Gamer Points - 25

Can be done on any difficulty setting.

5 Normal Silent Assassins
5 Silent Assassin ratings awarded on the Normal difficulty
Gamer Points - 25

5 Expert Silent Assassins
5 Silent Assassin ratings awarded on the Expert difficulty
Gamer Points - 50

5 Professional Silent Assassins
5 Silent Assassin ratings awarded on the Professional difficulty
Gamer Points - 100

I will list ways of achieving the silent assassin rating on Professional Difficulty only (As this has the most level completion requirements) and 5 random maps only, as this is all that is needed to get all 4 of the silent assassin achievements. Obviously the lower the difficulty, the less needs to be done to get the rating.
Killing all targets via accidents, hiding any civilian bodys (for suits etc) after only sedating or knocking them out, no cover blown, suit not left behind, no witnesses, and no custom weapons left behind will pretty much guarentee Silent Assassin.

Use these in conjunction with the video walkthroughs, on the PC it seems you don't need accidental kills to get the silent assassin achievement, and I think I did, so just follow the walkthroughs, and use the stuff below to get the accidental kills.


Mission 2 - A vintage Year

Kill Don F.Delagado - The Don is playing his chello upstairs / moving to his balcony to look at the view. Personally I go up there through the window. While he is playing, creep accross the back of the room and get in the closet. When he has finished playing, he will get up, walk past you (in the closet) and into the next room and to his balcony. Follow him (while creeping). The guard in the sette next to him is asleep, so long as you creep neither will know you are approaching. Sneak up behind the down and push him over the railings of his balcony.

Kill Manuel Delgado - Just inside the entrance to the wine cellar from the main courtyard with the public in, there is a guard standing aside a winch. Approach the guard and he will start going on his patrol down the stairs. When he is down at least 1 flight of the steps, plant the bomb.

Its now a game of timing to set off the charge under these circumstances:
- No one (Guard or public) are on the landing where the winch is, if there are, then you will have casualties
- Manuel is stood in the little nook at the bottom of the stairs (Be careful, sometimes he is talking to someone, you need to hit the trigger while he is there alone, he ussually ties his shoelace)


Mission 3 - Curtains Down

Kill Alvaro D'alvade - At the begining of the level, goto the cloak room / reception and talk to the guy behind the counter, he will give you your coat of which you take out a WWII gun. Get into the stars dressing room while the rehersals are in progress (the room in the middle of the corridor with a star outside it, not the one directly infront of the one with the guard sat down) and wait for the guy to come back during there break. Hide in his closet. He will mess around a bit and then leave to goto the toilet. At this moment, get out the closet, take his replica gun which he has left on the table, place the real WWII gun and get back in the closet. Once he has returned and left again with the real gun. Leave the room.

Kill Richard Delahunt - After planting the gun, directly outside his dressing room, are a set of double doors. Go through them and take the stairs right to the top. This leads ou above the stage. Go around the stage gantry and through the door. Approach the winch in the centre of the walkway and place the bomb (at this point I continue down the walkway passed the winch and down the ladder following the walkway around the dome to the hole in the floor. Go down the hole and sit waiting for the accidental shooting to happen. When it does, he goes mental and leaves his box with his body guards, the chandelier hanging in the middle of the seating area infront of the stage is what you have planted the bomb on, once he has left his box, he will come running from the back of the theatre down under this chandelier toward the stage. Just as he is under it, trigger the bomb.

::Just as a note, this is the only mission so far in which I have actually killed more than just the actual mark and finished it with Silent Assassin Rating. When the chandelier drops, it hits his guards? also, I think I finished this with 4 accidental deaths.


Mission 4 - Flatline

Target 1 (Green Dressing Gown) - Wait for him to get on the weights in the gym . Its important not to bump into him while wearing a Therapists uniform as this will trigger him to start going upstairs and wait for you in your office. The times this happened to me, he never returned to the weights. When hes on the weights, approach him and stand behind him facing him, just as he lifts the the weights up and back onto the uprights to finish his workout, an option will appear to drop the weights. Do this, you will knock the weights off and hold them on his neck choking him.

Target 2 (Blue Dressing Gown) - Upstairs of the main building, he resides in the room with guards always outside. Room number is #. Go in through the adjoining room, room #, out the back onto the balcony and into his room through his balcony door. If he is in there just come back and wait for him to leave, then enter the room and tamper with his bottled gas on the stove.

Target 3 (Pink Dressing Gown) - He drinks from a stash in the globe. Get above the glove (through the office of the therapist) and onto the balcony that looks down on the globe, plant the bomb on the wall fitting holding the rope for the rooms light. Trigger when he is getting his booze out.


Mission 6 - A Crows Murder

Kill Angelina Mason - In one of the ally ways that lead to small courtyards behind buildings, there is a piano in the air on a winch. Follow the platform with the winch on around the walls of the buildings and you will see how to get up there to plant the bomb. Angelina will be standing directly under this "at some point". She begins the level here, and slowly moves between all the allyways. She will be back here a short while after the case being delivered cut scene / PIP giving you enough time (if already wearing the bird suit) to nip inside, get the case, and push Mark off the ledge and get back to time the detonation.

Kill Mark Purayah - Once the suitcase is delivered to him, simply grab a bird suit from the guys in the ally way to the side of the building, timing it right so you can pinch the suit of the guy to the right at the top of the ally and dump him in the dumpster and then go inside the building. He is located at the top of some stairs. Again time it so that he has no one in the room with him, and when he walks to the balcony, simply sneak up and push him off the edge. I had to push twice here, and I have still yet to get SA on pro, so I'm unsure if this is the correct way to go about it. I have sedated him and pushed him over and only got professional rating and I see no other way to kill him as he doesnt ever leave the room.

[TheBatfink]

Kill Raymond Kulinsky - The simplest of the hits, just grab a walkie talkie, or listen on the radio as you push the other guy with the case over the balcony for which bar he is in. Always enter each bar from the rear enterance and don't blow your cover. Sneak up to the top floor and he will be in one of the last rooms. Watch him till he moves for the balcony, creep up, and simply shove him off and retreat asap so as not to be seen.


Mission 7 - You better watch out...

Right, first off. I did this on professional, only sedating 1 guard in a black suit, and putting him in a dumpster and that was it. No more kills. Heres how..
From the startm, run right, and wait till the camera is moving fully to the left as you look at it, then run around the righthand side along the railing and through to the guy in the security room. Stand next to the door and wait for him to go get the soda from the machine, duck in sneaking, turn off the lasers with the button on the wall and run out and round to the elevator. Once up there wait for the guards to go into rooms and run through the glass door and outside.
Now here is the tricky part. You have to damage the utility box on the wall and a guard will come out to fix. Its difficult because you need to time this so when he comes out, you can sedate him and drag him around the wall to the dumpster before any of the guards come out of the room and stand infront of the glass doors on there usual patrol. But it is doable. So take his suit, dumpster him and then jump over the railing opposite the dumpster and make your way along the ledge. This will lead you back to the main building. Go up to the first door in this stair well and exit into the kitchen.. Now for the targets..

Kill Chad Bingham - As you enter the kitchen, immediately take the door on your left. In here on the shelves is aphrodisiac. Take it. Goto the bar area. Wait for the waiter to leave a drink on the bar, it may already be there.. Walk to it and it will allow you to press A and put it in the drink. Do that. Go and stand near the pool just outside that has Chad in and some chicks. Eventually, he will recieve the drink from the waiter, drink it, and will get out the pool with a lady. Slowly, keeping your distance, he will go to a bedroom. Wait outside the room till he has finished, and he will go down some stairs. Keep your distance and follow him. When he reaches the bottom and he is stood at the ledge outside, push him over.

Kill Lorne de Havilland - Right. Go back upstairs, goto the kitchen and get a sausage. Then you need to make your way up the curved stairs which say staff only up a level and to the room where the video CCTV equipment is. A guard will move to this room and leave on a patrol. When he has left, creep through the room to the lock pick door and pick it without the guard noticing you that is always in this room. If you creep all the way accross the room, he wont see you. Go up the stairs. At the top is a guard, watch through the key hole for him start walking, follow him round to the first door, then to the second door. This second door leads to the studio where the photographer is taking pictures. NOTE: this second door, you can sit here in creep mode, and when the guard on patrol comes back, he will open the door, conceiling you and carry on going allowing you to then nip out onto the studio floor with no guards seeing you! (use this when making your way out later and the following bit). Now walk left as you exit onto the studio, past the ladder, turn right toward the ladies and photographer until you reach the double door. Go through this door, half way up on the right is a elevator leading to the helipad. The last bit you have just done is how you will get to this elevator without being seen to escape, so its good to get the practise in while in a guard suit so you will know how to exit the level...
Anyway, take the heart door opposite the elevator, to your right is the door to I assume his bedroom, with two glass doors leading outside. If he is not outside, then go back out this room and wait for him to go through the bedroom and outside. Drop the sausage and poison it (Use poison not sedation), open the glass door on the left and throw the sausage outside to the dog by holding the left thumbsitck down and releasing. Move to the right door but dont go outside yet... When the dog keels over, creep out behind Lorne and push him over the edge.

Retrieve the video - When leaving this area to go back and get your suit, nip into the video archive room, just at the end of the hall to the bedroom where you just pushed Lorne over the edge. Stand at the video and as soon as the guards back is turned, nab it.

Escaping - After taking the video, go back down the way you came, to the kitchen, back down the stairs again, over the railing, and shimmy to the dumpster. Change into your suit. Go back over the railing and shimmy back once again and make your way upto the kitchen. Watch out for the drunken santa. Now you are going back upstairs again. It will require you creep about and hide from guards, but again go up the curvered stairs (where you exit the room adjoined to the kitchen) and wait for the guard to leave the CCTV room (just keep opening the door to watch him go) then creep behind the guard standing watching the CCTV monitors and go through the now unlocked door. Repeat what you did when going to kill Lorne, wait for the guard at the top of these stairs to start on his patrol through the keyhole and hide against the wall as I mentioned above so when the guard comes back, he opens the door on you and hides you. Nip out when hes gone past you, and go back to the double doors where the photographer is. Go straight to the elevator, and move to the helipad level. As soon as the lift stops, run out of the elevator turn left, through the door, straight ahead past another guard and through the door, and then run straight to the chooper and hit A to escape ASAP.


Secret Achievements

All secret achievements can be completed on ANY difficulty, or a mixture of difficultys. Achievement is given as soon as you trigger the relevant requirements and view the rating screen after completing the level.

Accidents do happen...
A successful accident kill has been performed.
Gamer Points - 20

Kill someone via what the game percives as an accident. Please see the above section on Silent assassin rating achievements for ways of causing an accident.


47 kills in a mission
A mission has been completed with precisely 47 kills.
Gamer Points -20

Complete any level and kill exactly 47 people in the process (this includes all NPCs)
Start a game on "Curtains Down" go straight to the toilet next to the cloak room, and kill the guard. Now, stay in the toilet, picking off the guards one by one until every guard has come and you have killed them. Drag the bodies into piles of 5 for easy counting (this will be easy now as you have took out all the guards and no one will come and bother you while your in the process of doing it) Make a mental note of the number of guards (and anyone else if you killed some civillians in the cross fire) and go and kill the two targets. Add these 2 too the number of guards killed. Walk around and pick off civilians until you hit the golden 47 kills mark, and leave the level.
Easiest done on rookie or normal. Alternatives (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23217).


Notorious
47 is the world's most wanted.
Gamer Points - 20

Raise your notoriety to 100/100 (note this cannot be done in Rookie mode as notoriety is not in effect on this difficulty)
Basically, kill your targets, then before you leave the level, go on a rampage, shoot plently of guards, a few civillians, but leave some as witnesses, shoot your guns around them etc etc. Make a lot of noise, and kill alot of guards etc. Notoriety is given at the end of a level and the amount is dependant on how psychopath you were in the level :)

Please also note, you can't increase your notoriety on a level you have already played through and saved to your career. If need be, start a new career and play through on normal again. You should have this done after 3 or so levels of play (not including the training level)


Redemption
You can't keep a good man down.
Gamer Points -50

Complete the Redemption level.
When the level begins, rock the left analog stick up and down until 47 awakes, then proceed to kill EVERYBODY on the map. Doing so will give the Redemption achievement.

Gameplay Video Walkthrough (credit to Elil of Hitman Forums) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tqGQn3vGy0


High Roller
$5,000,000 have been accumulated.
Gamer Poins - 50

Amass 5,000,000 dollars and have this in the bank at any time (triggered as soon as you gain a total of 5 million in the bank when viewing the rating screen after completing the level)


Special Rating
A Special Rating has been awarded.
Gamer Points - 50

Easiest way to do this in my view.. Start a game on "A new life" take a sniper rifle. Go immediately to the tree house. Pick off the FBI one by one until every guard is dead on the map, using on the sniper rifle (the guards will keep coming to the shot agents so you just have to be patiant in the tree house) Kill Vinnie with the sniper rifle, sedate or seduce the wife, and steal the microfilm, leave the map.

All FBI on the map must die (including the backup limos containing agents), all must be killed with sniper rifle (note: you can definately poison the FBI in the van with the donuts. Poison, not sedate).
Vinnie must die, he must die by your sniper rifle.
No civilians or innocents can die (includes his wife)
Normal level completion requirements.

Rating given will be - Russian Hare, and the achievement unlocked.

This is to consolidate all the threads and information strewn accross them to make it easier for people to find the information needed to gain the achievements. I'm aware everything in this thread can be found somewhere on the board, but I think it will help to have a proper full achievement thread.

Please bear in mind, I still have a few tweaks to make, and I will make them by tomorrow latest. Namely missing weapon names, and locations. Had enough of typing for now.
Also, there are SOO many ways to complete levels on this game. Those are just the ways I did it to achieve my 1000 points. Yes there ARE other ways, possibly even easier.

If you spot any errors, or have any additions (I'm sure there are things that could be made clearer or added, and I DO want your input!!) please post or PM and I will update the original post with credit to the submitting person. Hope this is of help to someone.

Cheers,
The Batfink

Nice work Batfink

Wouldn't worry about the weapons and locations, just link them to the thread stickied on the front page, or just copy and paste.

[TheBatfink]

Locations and full weapon names against pictures and positions in hideout now added from the stickied weapons list. Tidied up the posts a bit, better formatting :) yes I am obsessive!

Cheers.

[Webb]

Thread now stickied :D

[Styze]

Excellent work!!!!!!

[Helacool360]

Well done TheBatfink;)

[Maka]

Great Job:)

What happened to the other missions... they stop at mission 7 for the walkthroughs...

* Can this be put on the front page with all the other achievement guides

[Maka]

I think I found the easiest way to get "47 kills" or you can call it easiest way to count 47 kills... ;) Start off On "Curtain's Down" go to the washromm and kill all the guards.... roughly count how many people you have killed when you appraoch 40 save.. when you approach 45(roughly) save then when you think you may have around 47 save agian before the exit and save... Then yu finish the level... If you have less than 47 then load your last save and kill the difference... I you get 47 then lucky you you get an achievement and if more than load the second one or the first one. Once you beat the mission after the cut scene you will get the mission rating etc... If not gotten restart... It will ask something about continuing just say yes... you will start at the beginning but you may still load your others... load the right one and you're good

Remember to kill targets...

*I guess you can call it, a save tip ;)

[TheBatfink]

When I originally played through first time, on professional, it was release day, and no one on here was talking about the game much, so I went on the hitman forums. They were all talking about silent assassins, and I was convinced the requirements were different. For the finish on rookie / normal / expert / professional achievements, I have linked to there walk throughs on the PC, as these will get the missions completed, and its often difficult to accurately describe in words how to do it what with all the waiting for guards, its better to just see it. However, I found (AT least for the first handful of missions, I didn't get silent assassin, unless I accidentally killed targets on professional. So for the silent assassin achievements, I just put down 5 maps I found the easiest to get the rating. Using the video walk throughs from the PC guys (for general level completion, getting the suits and stuff - they do finish the levels with 47's suit on) but hitting the marks as described accidentally you should get SA rating, so thats why theres only 5 which I typed out myself. Plus I don't want to type out 4 times for each difficulty either :)
Some maps, A new life for example, I simply couldn't get SA on Pro for, maybe I will add the additional levels I did achieve SA on, but some I don't know how too! If you know a way, then please post, and I'll slap it in. The guide contains pretty much the minimun needed to get the achievements.

[DELTA FOX]

Very nice guide. but i need help with the special rating. I poison the doughnuts, then snipe all 14 FBI guys then vinnie through the window from across the street. I dont let any civillians die and i get the neclace by sedating the woman. But what do you mean by the backup limos? I didnt see any of them. Where do they come from?

[Webb]

People have said to do the poisoning of the van last so they can call back up.

[DELTA FOX]

But how can they call back up if they are dead?

[Webb]

They can't, so do that last.

Edit: By that, I mean, poison the FBI agents in the van after you killed everyone else so they can call back-up when things kick off.

[DELTA FOX]

Oh right, sorry i didnt understand what you were saying. Il try that tommorow. Is that what you did t get your special rating webb?

[Webb]

I did mine that long ago I can't remember the specifics to be honest, but it was that level and I killed eveyone with the sniper and only killed the agents. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

[Robbie S]

wow....i love you

[DELTA FOX]

lol thanks anyway webb for the tip about back up il try tommorow

[Maka]

I actually got it today...

I fully upgraded my sniper shot all the guards (never posioned the van) then I went to the garage picked off like 2 more gurads who didnt come (backup was also killed along the way)... then shot the guy through the window when he was downstairs watching TV. Then I ran in with a syringe Sedative, put it in the wifes neck stole the necklace and ran.....

* I might have forgot about the tape, but i might have just ran in took it, and escaped... I did this mission 4 times today for achievements...

EDIT: i'm going to direct Routine to this, and see if this can go on the front page....

[Robbie S]

do those videos of PRO silent assassin work the exact same way in rokkie/normal/hard difficulties?

[Maka]

Basically, It's a little different since it's done on PC.... but more or less the same.. Do everything in the video and youll get SA on Rookie you can leave you suit and a couple of other small things and not get caught.....

alright cool

im gonna try that after NFS

[TheBatfink]

Personally, at least on the first levels, if I didn't kill targets by accidental kills, I didn't get SA on pro. I dunno if its just me or not. Most of the videos were targets killed anyhow, but after my discussions with him, and him wanting to go through the game as stealthy as he could, he redid some of the vids with accidents in mind. I think the PC is more lenient than the 360 version, maybe because of achievements, I don't know. But you can certainly follow those vids to the dot.

On the FBI in the van, I'm 70% sure I used poison on them at the start of the level, but I couldn't be 100% sure. The backup limos always came after I had killed a few guards, and the pool boy started going mental. They appear and pump several more FBI agents into the area, you will see them in a cut sequence if you have picture in picture on? Just make sure they all die with your sniper rifle and then you don't have to worry..

[Webb]

I was pretty sure that I poisoned them first too. Oh well, whatever works ;)

[TheBatfink]

Added s1u5h13's gun upgrade glitch to the guide within the weapon upgrades achievement section.

Added a few grammer and layout updates. Also edited the weapon location list to add more clarity to their locations, and more accurate level naming (will add more alternate locations soon).

[~philpott~]

To get all weapons do u just go over the levels grab em and finish the level, will they be added if you have already done the mission?


http://my.livecard.net/Default/uk+mad%20mark.png

[Webb]

Yes they will. I played through the game once and completed it and played specific levels to get the weapons after. Just take and finish level :)

[TheBatfink]

Added more information regarding the collection of firearms to help clarify the achievement requirements.

I also did it by going back and selecting levels to gain the few guns I didnt get the first time through.

[DELTA FOX]

I got the special rating today, thanks webb.

Basically i didnt poison FBI at the start. I ran to the tree house, took out the guy in the garden and then all the FBI who came running to the bodies. Half way through back up arrived so i sniped them aswell. I sniped the guy through the window, then poisoned FBI then sedated wife took neclace then left.

Im sure you can get a special rating on other maps and il probably start trying to work out what as this game is so good :D

[~philpott~]

:) Nice one peeps, thanks

I thot u might like to know i was getting my friend 47 kills in vintage year, which means civilians were my main source of sacrificial lambs, and it still rated me as a russian hare. On the other hand, i had a maxed out, finely tuned w2000, and it was the only thing i used. Breakthrough?

The "5 Silent Assasians in each difficulty..."
Can you replay the level and get silent assasian? or do you have to start the career over?

[Robbie S]

The "5 Silent Assasians in each difficulty..."
Can you replay the level and get silent assasian? or do you have to start the career over?

i was wondering that, and...

do i need 5 million $ at one time or earned throughout the game?

At one time.. you'll have it at about mssion 11

-Sina117
Right, far as im aware, russian hair was given for killed all enemys on a map with a sniper. The 47 kills achievement is completely different. If you mean you stumbled across both achievements at the same time, if someone could confirm it then I will rethink the achievement explainations. Just seemed like everyone was getting the russian hare exactly the same way. I cant check this as I no longer have a copy of the game, so maybe someone else can help. Although, as for just gaining the achievement, the described way is very easy and I don't see many people have a problem getting it that way, having said that, alternatives are always nice to have :)

The "5 Silent Assasians in each difficulty..."
Can you replay the level and get silent assasian? or do you have to start the career over?
Yes, you can reply a level as many times as you like to get the rating. I had to play levels litterally for days to get the SA on pro my first run through :)

At one time.. you'll have it at about mssion 11
I also did it with 5mill in the bank at one time.

[Maka]

You need 5 million in the bank....

[Robbie S]

You need 5 million in the bank....

so i just stop upgrading?

[TheBatfink]

so i just stop upgrading?
I didnt upgrade anything until after I had the 5 million in the bank. If your playing stealthy and for silent assassins, you can't fire any guns anyway, and if you were to get shot at, you've blown your cover, so it served no purpose to upgrade.

Just get the 5m achievement when you play through again for your next difficulty completion maybe?

Added information regarding dificulty setting requirements for each achievement where relevant.
Added additional information for the "High Roller" achievement (I got this first play through and never spent any money, but the general consensus seems to be 5million in the bank at any one time, so added this information to the guide)
Various formatting changes (Yes I'm anal :))

[Oryan]

What an easy game, beat it on novice (2hrs), expert(3hrs) and professional(3.5 hours). Over the span of two days.

Now for the silent assasian missions. I wish there was a way to tell you that you got silent assasian already on the level.

-Oryan

[TheBatfink]

Noticed some people asking about having to do 4 run throughs, or just the one. Amended guide to show it is indeed 4 goes through. Dunno why I missed it, didn't think there could be any confusion.

[twisted]

bumpin cause this shit is an amazing guide. good work.

[Blind Fool]

bumpin cause this shit is an amazing guide. good work.No need to bump, its a sticky thread so it always stays at the top of the message board :rolleyes: nice first post though :p

[vctr87]

I can´t get the Special Rating achievement, I did what was told in here, killed every FBI agent with the sniper rifle, and killed the target and also sedated the wife, but I just got THE ERASER ranking.

By the way, I'm playing the A New Life level in rookie difficulty.

[TheBatfink]

Ok, Did you get the FBI reinforcements show up, theres a cut scene where they pull up outside in vehicles. Did you do it from the treehouse? Where you ever spotted? (ie did the gauge fill up red?) Are you positive you didnt kill the wife? Or any other civilians? BTW I dressed up as the pool guy, seduced her, then sedated her upstairs..

It definately worked for me and a few others I know of.

Hi TheBatfink, thanks for your answer, here´s what happenned:

I didn't get that cutscene you mention, I did it from the treehouse, but only 1 FBI Agent would not enter the house (the one who is guarding the main entrance) so I killed him from the other side of the street. I was never spotted, I killed the target in his room with the sniper rifle (not zoomed :S) I knocked out the wife upstairs, no witnesses, got the necklace and escaped. My rating was: The Eraser.

Forgot to mention, I killed the 2 FBI agents in the truck using the poisoned donuts when I started the mission. And as I mentioned before, I got no cutscene of more FBI agents coming.

[vctr87]

Anyone...help?

[fugitivetoby31]

First off amazing guide.

I am struggling with the silent assasin achievements though.

Vintage year

I did finally get this but not useing the bomb for the guy in the wine cellar! I tried it 10 times but it never gave me an SA rating or achievement. I was on Normal difficulty!

It happened as they found the body. I ended up starting a new saved game (incase I could'nt better a previously saved rating) and killed him with the wire and hiding his body in a box on the lower level of the cellar.

So will bombs be ok on later levels as I see you used them alot?

Also when I have to redo the Vintage year on pro/expert how can I get past the guard by the escape plane (the one who is awake and standing there) as when I went past him my rating went yellow which is the first it changed in the enitre level. I assume yellow is a fail on harder difficulties.

Or was it just because I had previously saved the mission on normal without getting SA that it would'nt give it to me until I started a new career?

Many thanks for any help I know this thread is old but I have only just got the game.

[fugitivetoby31]

I killed the two fbi in the truck after killing all of the others from the treehouse and the one on the main entrance from the houses opposite. I got no cutscene but did have two cars of back up arrive.

Did you leave in your own clothes when you escaped?

[Defcizion]

Nice fucking work mayn

Bombs are fine in later levels... I also didn't have any luck getting SA using the bomb, I did the same as you. I think my problem with the bomb was that it kept killing the guard at the top... not sure tho.

To get passed the guy on the dock, just sneak along the wall, then push him in the water and you should be good to go.

Also, an addition to the walkthrough for A Murder of Crows for SA on Pro. To kill Purayah, just wait till you are in the room alone with him, then he goes to the balcony, then to the couch and he just stands there with his back to you. Poison syringe or fiberwire him and throw him in the freezer in the corner. Every time I tried pushing him over the balcony on Pro I got at least 1 witness. This method works on all difficulties.

Edit: lol just realized how old the posts I replied to were....

I couldn't get it to work poisoning the guys in the van early in the level. I ended up going back to them later for a nice, point blank sniper rifle to the face for them.

[Rebel_INS]

Thanks for this man, im going to use it tomorrow.

[HeadShot2020]

thanx this thread really helped!!!:woop: :woop: :woop:

[HeadShot2020]

i dont see how u all have time to make these kinds of threads but hell keep it up!!!!!!!

[aJfromthablock]

thanks so much, it was really helpful!

[bdg7884]

Thanks for the guide... In case anyone is wondering when you unlock the kruger schmidt achievements. It just says play through game and they will unlock. Here are the levels they unlock after:

Tier 2 - After beating "Murder of Crows"
Tier 3 - After beating "Till Death Do Us Part"
Tier 4 - After beating "A House of Cards"
Maybe it should be added to the guide?

[Forrest2b]

Actually I think it might be based on number of completed missions or something similar. I say this because I have Tier 3 unlocked and haven't started "You Better Watch Out..." yet. I went back and played other missions for other achievements.

I didn't say "You Better Watch Out"... I did the game in order and this is how it popped for me.

[Defcizion]

These achievements are so damn tedious!!!!!

[Fartmaster UEO]

These achievements are so damn tedious!!!!! ya but the game is fun

[Spartan2249]

Thank you very much

[UNDERWALLY]

thanks man, that was a great guide, specially 4 the weapons achievement

[Sphinctor Man]

I noticed that some people may want to get SA rating on other levels as well so i played the game and found a way for SA on a house of cards.
This walkthrough works for all difficulties, yes even PRO!!!


Weapons to bring: Bring a Sniper customized as much as possible.
In this walkthrough you will not need to worry about guards or having to take one down and change your outfit.

First off when you start go to the receptionist desk and get your keycard.Then head up to the elevator on the left and climb the hatch once the door is closed. You will be presented with a cinematic scene of your first target getting out of the car. Wait patiently in the top of the elevator and soon enough your target will get in. Once the doors are closed strangle him and take his keycard. LEAVE THE BRIEFCASE HE DROPPED THERE, YOU WILL USE IT LATER. Pick your sniper case back up and jump down from the hatch and go to the 7th floor.

Once your at the 7th floor go to your room and then straight to your balcony and unpack your sniper. It may get a little bit tricky at this part in the game so save (if you can). Once your sniper is unpacked look east. If you wait you will be presented with another cinematic scene of your THIRD target (the shiekh) getting out of the car and heading in to the casino. While this is happening take notice of your second target that should be either in the casino or near it. Watch him on your map as he walks to the elevator and goes to the 7th floor. He will walk to his room and out onto the balcony. REMEMBER YOU ARE ALREADY LOOKING EAST. SAVE BEFORE YOU DO THIS, sometimes the target is found which will result in proffessionalist ranking: maybe 2 out of 5 times so save in case and if your playing pro difficulty don't worry it doesn't take to long to get back where you were.

Once the target is dead drop your sniper and take the elevator to the 8th floor. Pull up your mini-map and take notice of the the 3 guards at the north-west corner of your mini-map on the 8th floor. (You may want to turn the volume down on your t.v. because your are about to pull the fire-alarm and it can cause a headache :P) Head that way but before you get there pull the fire-alarm. You will see the guards run towards the elevator. Now go to the room they were guarding as quick as possible and then go to the backroom where you will notice a phone on the desk hit redial and then run to the elevator and go back to the seventh floor and out to your balcony. PICK UP YOUR SNIPER!! Look down at the courtyard below and you will see the shiekh walk out of the doors in the courtyard to try and get reception. It may take a few seconds for the sheikh to appear in the courtyard. Snipe him and then drop your sniper because you will not need it. Go back to the left elevator on the 7th floor and go to the lobby. While riding down the elevator to the lobby pick up the briefcase target one dropped when you strangled him and then go to the exit. You should be awarded silent assasin.

Walkthrough is in thanks to: Sphinctor Man

[patrick21pd]

hi dose any one know what table it at the "Dragonov" if u can help thanks :D

[AKK316]

I think the dragonov was in the level "A Dance With The Devil". When you are in the heaven party, and you have the FBI gold disguise on, go in the room where you have to check the laptop and it should be there in a rifle case.

i found it i don't know that it was stuck on the side where the lap top was sorry about that but thanks for help :D

[DeadKevin666]

I've read the guide and still having trouble with a few things.

I don't plan on getting on al the achievements in the game, too tedious for me but I'm trying to get the:

Accidental Kill
Silent Assassin

If I'm correct, I can do these on any difficulty and only need 1 of each on any level. correct?

I don't have the patience to get multiple of each one for the other achievments.

So does anyone have suggestions on the best level and way to get the above 2 achievments? Again, i'm assuming I can do 1 level with SA and get the achievment and do accidental kill and get another one?

I've done accidental kills before but never got anything for it :confused:

Thanks for the help :)

If you only want those two achievements, you can do the "A Vintage Year" Mission on Rookie. Just use the guide posted here or the one posted on "achieve 360 points .com". It shouldn't take more than an hour for you to figure it out, especially with unlimited saves. (It won't let me post the link) Also, if it is against the rules to reffer to other sites, sorry admin, just delete or tell me and I will delete and not do it again. Hell, I even accidentally shot the son w/ his own gun and still got SA. Push/throw the father over the balcony after sedating him. Oh, and for those two achievements, it is just one level on one difficulty.

[SoaringEagle]

thank u my good man :D

[SirMacDaddyPIMP]

im to lazy to use the guide for this game but I think i will sometime

[drakehellsing]

In regards to the money, since I've just started to play the game now, I'm just wondering, do you have to have it all on you? Or can you spend some money and get the achievement even though 5mil isn't in your bank?

[Shinobi273]

In regards to the money, since I've just started to play the game now, I'm just wondering, do you have to have it all on you? Or can you spend some money and get the achievement even though 5mil isn't in your bank?

You must have it in-hand, you can't spend it.

[drakehellsing]

Ah, thanks, now that makes sense ^^

[Lycan II]

I have completed "A New Life" and "Flatline" and "Curtains Down" more than 5 times on PRO for the silent assasain achievement and it wont giv it more. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Steel Stealth]

I noticed the next thing in the achievement in this guide:

Expert mode complete
Completed Expert difficulty

Complete the whole game, on rookie Expert. Complete this however you like, with whatever ratings / weapons you want. Just get to and complete Ammendment XXVThe underlined text has to be: Expert difficuly

Next to that I got an update for the "Special Rating" achievement. You will get the same ranking on the same map, but it's a lot easier and faster.

Special Rating
A Special Rating has been awarded.

Select the level "A new life." Just kill everyone on the map, get the microfilm and finish the level.

You will get the "Russian Hare" ranking.
This can be done on every difficulty.

[silvernightmare]

Excellent guide... Thanks!!

[xENVxGAMERSKREW]

thanks for the guide just got this game ahha.. hopefully its not that boring

[matty cheetham]

Thanks whoever made the guide for the video links couldnt find good guides anywhere.

[TheChubacabra10]

I bought this game after being it on ps2 but these achievements look good, I am looking forward to sitting down and getting in to it

[Stridstiss]

Can you get the expert and so on achievements just by re-playing the levels after you have completed it on rookie or do you have to start a new profile each time?

Edit: No you don't

[UK Mylo]

Very helpful.

[StevehJR]

grats on a top guide, sorry if this as already been answered but the 5 SA achievement do they have to be on 5 different levels? or can i simply replay the easiest one 5 times to gain the achievement? Thanks

Edit: NVM completed it now, didn't need to redo any levels managed to go through rookie-pro when pro was completed so was my GS :) bit tedious but completed a level on pro is really not much diff to rookie esp when playing to achieve SA every level
