I have finally completed this game's achievements, so I will update this guide when new maps are released. I have not looked up anything for this, so this guide may not be optimal and complete, but I hope it helps people that are playing the game for the first time themselves and need a hand for some small things. If you have any feedback or if you see any completed achievement that you would like to add something to, let me know in the comments! Thank you in advance.

To start things off, below is a list of all achievements you can get if you sync your account with the previous Hitman games, but they will only unlock if you have previously unlocked them already.

All of these are quite straightforward but if there are important notes, they will be below each achievement.

When No One Else Dares
Complete The Showstopper.



City of Light
Reach Paris Mastery Level 20.

Die By the Sword
Complete World of Tomorrow.


Amalfi Pearl
Reach Sapienza Mastery Level 20.

Too Big to Fail
Complete A Gilded Cage.


Ancient Marrakesh
Reach Marrakesh Mastery Level 20.

Shining Bright
Complete Club 27.


One Night in Bangkok
Reach Bangkok Mastery Level 20.

Guerrilla Warfare
Complete Freedom Fighters.


Mission Complete
Reach Colorado Mastery Level 20.

A Long Time Coming
Complete Situs Inversus.


Sayōnara
Reach Hokkaido Mastery Level 20.

Perfectionist
Complete Suit Only and Silent Assassin Challenges on The Icon, A House Built on Sand or Landslide.

If you haven't completed this yet, I would recommend watching video guides on Youtube from (for example) MrFreeze2244. There are a lot of them out there, it can be fun to play them yourself but they tend to be frustrating to do without a strategy. On the plus side, these do NOT have to be done in Master Mode, so you can save as much as you want, meaning you will not have to redo the entire mission.

Infiltrator
Complete Nightcall.


Local Knowledge
Reach Hawke's Bay Mastery Level 5.

Damage Control
Complete The Finish Line.


Miami Wise
Reach Miami Mastery Level 20.

Tactical Strike
Complete Three-Headed Serpent.


Dark Tourist
Reach Santa Fortuna Mastery Level 20.

Pirate Hunter
Complete Chasing a Ghost.


Keys to the City
Reach Mumbai Mastery Level 20.

Long Shot
Complete Another Life.


Pillar of the Community
Reach Whittleton Creek Mastery Level 20.

This is Maintenance
Complete The Ark Society.


Honorary Member
Reach Isle of Sgàil Mastery Level 20.

Break the Bank
Complete Golden Handshake.


Top of the Heap
Reach New York Mastery Level 20.

Island and Chill
Complete The Last Resort.


Null and Void
Reach Haven Island Mastery Level 20.

DISCLAIMER Unlike the previous achievements, these do not unlock from syncing (for me at least). However, I will include them here as not only are they originally from Hitman 2, the progress (Challenges and Mastery) DO sync, which makes it a lot easier to complete if you have already done so in the previous game.

Silent Sniper
Complete The Last Yardbird as Silent Assassin.


Hawkeye
Complete The Pen and the Sword as Silent Assassin.


Pure Poetry
Complete all The Pen and the Sword Challenges.


Seven Figures
Get a score above 1,000,000 points on The Pen and the Sword.


Never Knew What Hit Them
Complete Crime and Punishment as Silent Assassin.


Capital Punishment
Complete all Crime and Punishment Challenges.


In a League of Their Own
Get a score above 1,000,000 points on Crime and Punishment.

The Creative Assassin
Complete the Contract Creation Tutorial.


Top of the Class
Beat the highest leaderboard score on a Contract.


These two contracts can be done together, in a way. What you can do is create a contract, make it very easy to complete, then publish it. After that, you complete your contract but earn less than optimal points, for example by waiting or killing any non-targets. Then, you re-do the same contract, beat your previous score and bob's your uncle.

A New Profile
Complete a Featured Contract.


Doesn't need to be a high score, doesn't need to be silent assassin, just complete a single featured contract found on the main 'Featured' page and another achievement crossed off.

The Result of Previous Training
Complete Freeform Training in the Prologue.


Cleared for Field Duty
Complete The Final Test in the Prologue.


To save time, it is recommended to combine this with Seizing the Opportunity and Silent Assassin. That way 3 can be crossed off in one go.

Seizing the Opportunity
Complete any Mission Story in The Final Test.


I have found 'Safety First' to be the easiest to complete. You can get a mechanic's disguise in the locker room for it, but most of it is guided. Once the mission story is over, go and 'fetch' Jasper Knight so kill him off the story to also get Silent Assassin for free.

Silent Assassin
Complete The Final Test unspotted. Kill only Jasper Knight, ensuring his body is not found.


I recommend completing the same mission story as Seizing the Opportunity, so can be done in one go if done correctly.

Training Escalated
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in the ICA Facility.


If a guide is needed, there are plenty on youtube, but 'The Einarsson Inception' is the one I used to cross this one off. Really easy, quite short to finish, should be no problem.

Death From Above
Complete On Top Of The World.


Dune Raider
Reveal all undiscovered areas in Dubai.


Rise Up
Complete all Mission Stories in On Top Of The World.


Stair Master
Reach Dubai Mastery Level 20.


Treacherous Architecture
Kill Ingram with his oil-rig model, push Stuyvesant over a rail, and kill them in the air.


I popped this one after killing them both in the air, so I believe the first one can be achieved by killing stuyvesant with the sun at the art installation. For an idea on what this sun is, he walks by the art gallery, and you can preview this challange by looking at the one called 'Icarus'. The second one I believe to be easily attainable from the mission story '(In)Security'. The third is by triggering an evacuation and (for example) cutting their parachutes which will cause them to die while in the air. See 'Keep Your Eyes Peeled' for a possible way to combine these.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Make a target slip and fall while evacuating in a skydiving suit.


What you need for this is to make the targets evacuate first. This is done by swiping a specific duo of keycard readers on the upper floors of the level. I have yet to find out how to open a safe for the evacuation keycard, but using an Electronic Key Hacker will suffice as well. Triggering them both in quick succession will cause the targets to run away, so it is advisable to cut their parachutes with a kitchen knife to cross off extra challenges for the mastery while you're at it. Something else you will need is (of course) a banana. These are found all over the map, there are quite a few, so it shouldn't take long to find one. The way I did this is I put the banana peel at their eventual jump spot, which is on the fourth floor in the outdoor area. It should be easy to recognise as there is golfing equipment there. Put it at the furthest corner straight out the door, wait for your targets to arrive, and (for me) the second jumper hit the jack-pot. He will jump again after getting back up so he will die afterwards.

Master of the Household
Complete Death In The Family.


No Stone Unturned
Reveal all undiscovered areas in Dartmoor.


Full House
Complete all Mission Stories in Death In The Family.


The Great Outdoors
Reach Dartmoor Mastery Level 20.


Upstairs, Downstairs
Eliminate Alexa in her private room, shoot her from the roof, and put her to rest.


First one done, her pattern always makes her go to her private room, it's on the top floor. There is a hidden room next to the private room, use instinct and/or map to know when she is there, kill her, done. The second one I am not 100% sure. I got this achievement after supposedly completing the second one last, but I do not understand why as she was already dead and not from shooting from the roof. In fact, I got this one when I went to the shortcut on the roof. Now I did shoot her from the top floor with a pistol after completing the mission story 'A Day To Remember' but it never popped the achievement. Might have been bugged, not sure, sorry if this is not as helpful as you were looking for. The third one is really easy to get at the end of the mission story 'Her Final Resting Place'. Dump the body in the grave by pushing her in when she inspects it, her personal bodyguard appears to be deaf so he won't hear anything.

Family Feud
Help Emma kill Alexa.


Okay I have to start this off with a small apology, I googled for this one. I could not for the life of me figure out how to get this, and the main reason for this was because I was being impatient. If you follow the mission story 'Means, Motive and Opportunity', you will be going around the house finding clues and interviewing suspects. Make sure to go to the greenhouse as well to check it out and fix the machine there while you are there. Now usually you will come to the conclusion that Emma is the killer - do NOT stop there, there is an extra option that the butler did it. You need to go to his office to gather enough 'evidence' to frame him. Tell Carlisle it was him, ask for money (I don't know if the file works too, I haven't tried) and next is literally just wait. And not a little bit, wait for for bloody ever. Carlisle will go down to ring the bell, gather the family, preach about the birds and the bees and then everyone will go back to what they were doing. Well, everyone but Emma. Emma will go back to the greenhouse where, if you followed this the way it is easiest, you have already fixed the distillery, meaning she will then distill her own poison. She will then return, poison the glass of scotch in the room which Carlisle will drink shortly thereafter and FINALLY she dies, thanks to you helping Emma do it. Honestly it is a nice mission but hot DAMN is it tedious. Patience is the way to go, best of luck.

Death of the Party
Complete Apex Predator.


Followed the Trails
Reveal all undiscovered areas in Berlin.


Last Call
Become the club owner, and have a sit down with the ICA.


The club owner's name is Rolf Hirschmüller. He is in his office behind the DJ booth on the lowest floor in the level (same level as the Dance Floor). After knocking him out, you can pick up his phone book, dial the number at the phone on the table and proceed to talk to 5 ICA agents. Kill them, leave the mission, you'll be home on time for supper. Just be careful not to die, of course.

Warehouse Veteran
Reach Berlin Mastery Level 20.


Partied Out
Tremain has a rifle accident, Thames is hit by a crane and Montgomery & Banner light up the club.

For the first one, you literally just need to shoot Tremaine in the head with his own rifle. Not really an accident, so a little misleading, but fairly easy to get. The second is quite easy to manipulate just by knocking out Thames, dragging him to line up with the crane and shooting the concrete pipe it holds. Not sure how to do it without this trick, but this means you won't necessarily have to if you don't want to. The third one is for the challenge 'How the Turntables'. You have to rig the lights and get a DJ outfit, then time the light slow as both of the agents are at the top. Montgomery has a knack for adventure so if you time this poorly, like myself, you'll have to wait for him to do his entire cycle and return, which he should do.

Bird Art
Photograph the Yellow Bird.


Had to look up the map, it is given after completing the challange 'Concrete Ornithology'. Basically, like the achievement says, you need to take a picture of the yellow bird. However, there is more than one and you need to take a picture of 7 different ones spread across the map. they are painted on the walls all around the place, and not just on the ground floor - there are several higher up on the roof as well. Walk around the map, pay attention to the walls and this should not be a huge problem.

NEXUS-47
Complete End Of An Era.


Surveillance Master
Reveal all undiscovered areas in Chongqing.


Icebreaker
Complete all Mission Stories in End Of An Era.


Hack the Planet
Reach Chongqing Mastery Level 20.


Future Shock
Kill Hush in his "relaxing chair," electrocute Royce and shoot both with one bullet.


For the first one, go for the mission story 'Impulse Control'. Should suffice. Electrocuting Royce was more of a challenge for me, in the sense that I couldn't find an easy way to do this with a mission story. The mission story 'Certainty Principle' is a guaranteed way to get in the facility, and to meet with Royce, but beyond that I didn't find any electrocution opportunities. In the end, I just got rid of everyone in a break room, pacified her, spilled a water cooler and used the electrical socket next to it to seal the deal. For the last one, the mission story 'All-Seeing Eyes' can get you close to the end. Most important for this one is to bring a sniper rifle with piercing bullets to guarantee penetration through both Hush and Royce.

Console Cowboy
Use Royce's terminal to fry the core.


You need to fire all three of the people on the terminal in this specific order to make the employees do it for you, or just Sharon Reed if you disable the safety mechanism yourself. First, fire Jeremy Bolt, as he will stop Alicia Reynolds trying to enter the core. Then, to disable the safety mechanism, you need to fire Alicia Reynolds, as she will do it for you before leaving. After it has been disabled, fire Sharon Reed. She will, before leaving, complete her work for the core maintenance, and by doing so, fry the core as long as you disabled the safety mechanism. An easy way to do this is with the mission story 'Certainty Principle', as Royce will show you the terminal and even lets you test it to show how good it is.

The Last Tango
Complete The Farewell.


Master the Terroir
Reveal all undiscovered areas in Mendoza.


Rich Harvest
Complete all Mission Stories in The Farewell.


Vineyard Virtuoso
Reach Mendoza Mastery Level 20.


Ripe for the Picking
Eliminate Vidal with the grape crusher, Yates with poisoned Grand Paladin, and both with gas.

Eliminating Vidal with the grape crusher is very easy to obtain by following the mission story 'The Tour' and showing/asking about the grape crusher. She will stand under it of her own free will. It is easier to get a worker's key (these are literally everywhere, I'm not kidding) and unlocking the safety mechanism in advance so that you just need to press the 'crush button' but other than that it is very straightforward. Combine that with the next mission story, 'Closing Statement', will give you a perfect chance to eliminate Yates with the Grand Paladin. Follow it through, poison his glass before he drinks it, Bob and uncle. Note: I personally recommend splitting these two as I have not yet found out how to poison Yates' glass after going in as Flowers, but if you like a risk or a puzzle, have at it. Either way, this mission story gets you what you need. For this last one, surprise surprise, you also probably want to use that exact same mission story. Bit of a rinse and repeat here I'm afraid, not much variation except the way they end up dead. What you need is lethal poison to insert into the ventilation system near the barrel room in the end area of the tour. Once you finish the tour, you will have Vidal in the right area and Yates will come down to greet you. Diana is also there and you will fail the mission after doing this (at least in my attempt) but that is fine as you at least got the challange. Might not be the intended strategy, but it got the job done so sue me. Once they are both there, you turn on the ventilation system that is poisoned, you go upstairs to the control panel and change the ventilation to go into the barrel room and poof, everybody dies.

Evil Wine Club
Attend the secret Providence meeting.


Follow mission story 'The Tour' to complete this achievement.

Nightmare Fuel
Complete Untouchable.


Train Surfing
Complete all Untouchable Challenges.


Last Stop
Reach Carpathian Mountains Mastery Level 5.


Bullet Train
Take out a guard with a silenced pistol, with a shotgun and with an SMG.


Count Down From 47
47 takes another nap.


Go through the entire level until you reach 'the Constant'. Once you reach him, pick up the syringe but instead of using it on him (which is also an assassination challange), wait for a little bit. He will then start a new dialogue, insinuating you might have second thoughts, shortly after which you get the option to use the syringe on yourself. Do it, and the achievement pops.

Achievements that can be obtained in any level, no matter the destination, campaign or custom contract, escalation or elusive target. Have fun!

Tools of the Trade
Assassinate Targets with Ballistic, Accident and Explosion Kills.


Unseen Assassin
Assassinate a Target without getting spotted.


Shortcut Killer
Find and unlock 15 Shortcuts.


Each level has shortcuts, all you need to do is unlock them and they will remain open for any future playthrough of that level. There are challanges for them as well, so use those to get an idea of where they might be or what they might look like. You don't need every single shortcut for this achievement, but you do need quite a lot of them. If you can't find one, don't worry too much, but don't stop looking too soon.

Stylish Assassin
Get 10 different Playstyles.


Completing the missions in different ways (silent assassin, killing targets with accidents, handguns, shotguns, snipers, etc, getting detected or making a mess) will unlock many different Playstyles. There are more than 10, but you need to complete missions enough to get it. It is likely this will be unlocked while getting the other location-specific achievements.
