Stage 1: (Optional) Play Through the Full Story:
Warning! This guide contains spoilers for Hitman 3’s story. If you do not wish the experience to be spoiled play through the story first and then read this trophy guide after.

Training Escalated
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in the ICA Facility.
There are two contracts set in the ICA Facility, The Snorrason Ascension and The Einarsson Inception. The Snorrason Ascension is the easiest out of the two, and takes place in the map for The Final Test. In an Escalation Contract, every time you complete the mission you’ll be given a new objective, and it adds up to five levels. Refer to the Training Escalated guide for details on what exactly is required.
Top of the Class
Beat the highest leaderboard score on a Contract.
Contracts can be accessed from the main menu. To unlock Top of the Case you will need to place #1 on the leaderboards on one of them. By far, the easiest way to do this is access the user-created Contracts. You can access this through the Game Modes tab from the main menu.
From the main menu, head over to the Game Modes tab and click on Contracts.
Click the Contract Search button.
The best options to choose are ICA Faciity and 1 Target. Press Go Search to look for Contracts.
There are millions of contracts online. For this trophy, you’ll need to have at least one person on the leaderboards and beat them. You can view the leaderboards on a Contract by looking under the Leaderboards tab. Almost every Contract found using the search options above are just one guard, right in front of the entrance. Watch the video below to see how these contracts will play out.

From the main menu, head over to the Game Modes tab and click on Contracts.
Click the Featured Contracts button.
Here you can view all the Featured Contracts. Completing any of these will unlock the trophy.
It is recommended to pick a contract in a map you know well, with some easy targets and objectives. The Contracts can be played over and over until you do it correctly. Keep in mind Elusive Targets do not count for this trophy.
Tools of the Trade
Assassinate Targets with Ballistic, Accident and Explosion Kills.
You will unlock vv just by collecting other trophies naturally, mostly the mission stories. You will not need to worry about this trophy. If you’d like more information on how these kills are performed, read below. Whenever you kill a target, several XP bonuses pop up. These can include ballistic, accident, explosion, unnoticed kills, and more. For this trophy, you will only need those first three. Below is a breakdown for those three modes of killing.
- Ballistic kills:
A ballistic kill is pretty much everything with guns. This can be from a silenced pistol to a loud sniper rifle. If ballistic kills are found they will thoroughly investigate the area because they know the target has been shot. - Accident kills:
Accident kills are what makes up the majority of all the kills in Hitman, where no suspicion is towards you as if the target was killed by their own doing, or by sheer luck. This can be from somebody falling from a ledge to poisoning somebody’s drink. There will be a short investigation if an accident kill is found but it will not affect your silent assassin rating. - Explosion kills:
An explosion kill is exactly what it sounds like, a kill using an explosion. These explosions can be from objects such as fire extinguishers to an explosive rubber duck. Explosion kills also double as accident kills.
If you still do not understand these methods of murder, check out the below video for quick and easy kills using these three methods.
Unseen Assassin
Assassinate a Target without getting spotted.
At the end of every mission, you will get a rating screen. There are variables such as found bodies, cameras, non-targets killed, and being spotted. You can view this score by pressing Square once a mission ends. This trophy will pop when you complete a mission without being spotted. This means the bodies can be found, but you cannot be seen doing illegal deeds such as shooting or trespassing. This trophy will come naturally.
Shortcut Killer
Find and unlock 15 Shortcuts.
There are a total of 17 shortcuts throughout all six missions. To unlock a shortcut, you will need to walk up to it and either hold Triangle to unlock it with your hands or you may need a crowbar. If you cannot find a crowbar on the map, you may need to bring one in your loadout. Refer to the Shortcut Killer guide for a detailed look on how to unlock every shortcut available in Hitman 3.
Stylish Assassin
Get 10 different Playstyles.
Playstyles are titles at the end of mission that somewhat sums up how you played the mission. This can be from how you kill your targets, to certain actions you take during the mission. The playstyle bar is circled below.
Below are ten different playstyles and how to achieve them. For more playstyles and information, check out this page on the Hitman Wiki.
- Silent Assassin.
Never spotted, no noticed kills, no bodies found, no recordings, no non-targets killed. Must have five stars at the ending mission rating screen. - Shadow Assassin.
Only kill your targets, but have the bodies be found. No recordings or being spotted. - Close Quarters SMG Assassin.
Kill your targets with an SMG. Doesn’t matter which distance. - Dedicated Pistol Assassin.
Kill your targets with a pistol. - Allround Shooter.
Kill with three different types of weapons, such as pistol, sniper, and automatic rifle. Non-targets can be killed. - Envenoming Assassin.
Kill your target with poison, the kill must be seen. You will need to use a lethal syringe for it to be seen. - Gun Crazy.
Kill a target with a firearm while being witnessed. - Nutcracker.
Assassinate your targets with headshots. - Sniper.
Kill your targets with a sniper rifle. - Scattergunner.
Kill your targets with a shotgun.
It is recommended to leave this trophy for last. If you haven’t unlocked this after all the other trophies, an easy way is to load up a Custom Contract in Dartmoor with the only target being the Private Investigator. This is a quick kill with a few witnesses.
Death From Above
Complete On Top Of The World.
On Top Of The World is the first mission of Hitman 3, and it is located in Dubai, Untied Arab Emirates. This mission takes place inside the world’s largest skyscraper, also known as The Sceptre. Your two targets are Marcus Stuyvesant and Carl Ingram (pictured below). Marcus Stuyvesant can be found walking about the art exhibit and public areas. Carl Ingram can be found secluded in and around his penthouse suite. Below is a breakdown of this mission’s objectives.
Mission Objectives:
- Eliminate Marcus Stuyvesant.
- A good Mission Story to follow to eliminate both targets is “How The Mighty Fall”. Check out the bottom objective to learn more about this.
- Eliminate Carl Ingram.
- A good Mission Story to follow to eliminate both targets is “How The Mighty Fall”. This will put you in a locked room with both targets, ripe for killing. Make sure you hide both of their bodies before you unlock the room again so an alarm isn’t set off.
- Locate the exit.
Marcus Stuyvesant.

Dune Raider
Reveal all undiscovered areas in Dubai.
There is a total of 33 locations inside of Dubai across seven different levels. To find a location, you need to walk into the room or area and it will be shown on the map, along with a popup of the location’s name. Refer to the Dune Raider guide for a look at what’s required to unlock Dune Raider.
Treacherous Architecture
Kill Ingram with his oil-rig model, push Stuyvesant over a rail, and kill them in the air.
This kill set trophy is for the mission On Top Of The World. These kills do not need to be done in order, or on the same playthrough. They can be done individually, whenever you want. Once you do them all, Treacherous Architecture will unlock.
To kill Ingram with his oil-rig model, you will need to follow the “Bird Of Prey” Mission Story. Read below for more information.
- Follow the “Bird Of Prey” Mission Story until Ingram’s personal assistant leads you into his penthouse. He will order everybody out of the room but one guard.
- Ingram will walk over to his desk and lean over a miniature model of an oil-rig machine. You will then get the prompt to press Cross to shove his head into it. This will unlock the Black Gold Eye challenge and complete this kill for the trophy.
- If you don’t want to cause chaos, right after you kill Ingram with the oil-rig model, knock out his guard (who will try to arrest you) and hide both their bodies.
To push Stuyvesant over a rail, you will need to follow the Mission Story “(In)Security”. Read below for more information.
- Follow the “(In)Security” Mission Story up until Stuyvesant orders his guard to take the day off and leave. He will then go to the ledge and look over it.
- When Stuyvesant is looking over the edge and talking to you, walk up behind him and press Cross to push him off the edge. This will unlock the Vertical Approach challenge and this kill for the trophy.
To kill both Ingram and Stuyvesant in the air, you don’t need to follow any storyline. You need both targets alive before starting this. Read below for more information.
- First, make your way to the rightmost Security Room on Level 2. In here is a safe with a keycard inside of it. The code to the safe is 6927. Open the safe and take the Evacuation Keycard.
- Next, make your way to the penthouse. It is recommended to get a Penthouse Guard disguise for this.
- If you haven’t unlocked Keep Your Eyes Peeled yet, it is recommended to make a save here. The setup is very similar and it will be easier to reload the save and do that trophy right after.
- On Level 5 of the penthouse, between the Master Suite and the Guest Bedroom, there is a Keycard Reader that says “Evacuate”. Swipe the card.
- Quickly run down to Level 4 and find the other Keycard Reader. It is just outside of the Study room and to the left of two parachutes. Two guards are talking right next to it. Walk up to it and swipe the keycard to trigger an evacuation. It is recommended to make another save here.
- Make your way to the Outdoor Area and camp out there. The targets will run to that spot and parachute off, to the right of the golf area.
- When the two targets eventually make their way over there, they will be surrounded by guards on high alert. They will both jump and parachute off the building. Quickly shoot both of their parachutes to kill them. This will complete the Mile High Drop challenge and this kill for the trophy.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Make a target slip and fall while evacuating in a skydiving suit.
This kill trophy is associated with the mission On Top Of The World. You only need one target alive to do this, but this guide explains how to do it with both targets alive. This kill is very similar to a kill in Treacherous Architecture, so it would be wise to pair it up with that. Below is a walkthrough on how to do this kill.
- Head over to the Meeting Room on Level 0. Take the banana sitting on the big desk.
- Next, head to the Security Room on Level 3. Inside is a sleeping guard with a banana on the desk next to him. Take the banana without waking him up.
- In the same Security Room, there is a safe on the wall. Punch in the code 6927 (pictured to the right) and take the Evacuation Keycard inside.
- On Level 5 of the penthouse, between the Master Suite and the Guest Bedroom, there is a Keycard Reader that says “Evacuate” (pictured to the left). Swipe the card.
- Quickly run down to Level 4 and find the other Keycard Reader. It is just outside of the Study room and to the left of two parachutes (pictured to the left). Two guards are talking right next to it. Walk up to it and swipe the keycard to trigger an evacuation. It is recommended to make another save here.
- Next, you will need to place both the bananas on the corner in the Outdoor Area (pictured to the right). Both targets will run through the Outdoor Area and skydive off the building. To place the banana peels, hold L1 and R1 with the banana in hand and Triangle to place. This will put down the banana peel. Do not throw the banana.
- After you place these bananas go hide somewhere where people can’t see you. When Ingram and Stuyvesant both run over here they will be surrounded with guards that are enforcers. It will take them a few minutes to get over there.
- The trophy will pop as soon as a target slips on a banana. This will also unlock the Flying Monkey Business challenge.

How The Mighty Fall.
- When viewing the terminal, you need to actually use Right Stick Down or Down to access the Floor Plan, even though the game doesn’t tell you that.
- After you have unlocked the Keycard Reader, look for yellow text on a screen above the Server Racks. The one with the yellow text is the Server Rack you can pull out with our triggering the silent alarm again.
Bird Of Prey.
- To disguise yourself as Mr. Kazem, it is easiest to turn on the sound system in one of the booths so he will go and investigate. Hide his body in the bushes.
- Escort Hans Lucht into a nearby bathroom stall and take a picture of him unconscious. He does not need to actually be dead.
- At the end of the Mission Story, it is recommended to get the special kill for Treacherous Architecture, check that trophy out for more information.

Below is a breakdown of this mission’s objectives.
Alexa Carlisle.
Mission Objectives:
- Eliminate Alexa Carlisle.
- A good Mission Story to both kill Alexa Carlisle and find the Case File is the main Mission Story, named “Means, Motive, And Opportunity”. This will have you solve the murder of Alexa’s brother, Zachary. This story can go many different directions but at the end Alexa will ask for a reward, tell her you want the Case File. She will give it to you, and open herself up for an easy kill.

Upstairs, Downstairs
Eliminate Alexa in her private room, shoot her from the roof, and put her to rest.
This kill set trophy is for the mission Death In The Family. These kills do not need to be done in order, or on the same playthrough. They can be done individually, whenever you want. Once you do them all, the trophy will pop.
To kill Alexa in her private room, there is no storyline to follow. Read below for more information.
- For this kill, you may want to select a starting location close to her upstairs office, such as in the Library or the Garden.
- As soon as you start the mission, you will need to quickly make your way up to Alexa’s Carlisle’s Office. She will only be in her Private Room (pictured) for a few minutes once the mission starts, so you will want to catch her in there.
- A guard will be outside and let nobody inside this room, so you will need to trespass and run right in.
- As soon as you enter the room, kill her in any way and you will unlock the Sweet Dreams challenge and this kill for the trophy.
You can combine the kill for shooting her from the roof and putting her to rest at the same time. This will require you to follow the first part of the “Her Final Resting Place” Mission Story. You will also need to have a sniper rifle unlocked. Read below for more information.
- Before you start the mission, bring any sniper rifle into the mission either through your gear slots or a smuggled item. There are no sniper rifles to be found on the map.
- Follow the Mission Story “Her Final Resting Place” up until you are supposed to disguise yourself as the undertaker. Do not disguise yourself as him, let him call Alexa over to the graveyard.
- While Alexa is making her way over to the graveyard, go to her office on the top floor. Put your sniper rifle on your back and go up the stairs inside her office.
- At the top steps of the stairs, you will have the ability to jump to a ledge (pictured to the left). Jump onto this ledge and shimmy over to the open window and climb through.
- She will make her way over to the open grave and stand in front of it. Shoot her with your sniper rifle and she will fall right into the grave. This will unlock both the Keep Calm & Aim and Grave Mistake challenges, along with completing these kills for the trophy.

Family Feud
Help Emma kill Alexa.
This kill trophy is for the mission Death In The Family. If you set up the mission just right, you can get Emma to kill Alexa Carlisle, your target. Below is a walkthrough on how to do this, along with a video guide.
- For this trophy, you can either choose a starting location that has fast forwarded time (pictured to the right), or you can follow the Mission Story “A Day To Remember”.
- Following the Mission Story “A Day To Remember” will have the family meeting take place (pictured to the right). Once you see the indicator that the meeting has taken place you can move onto the next step.
- On the back of the fountain, pick up the Wrench (pictured to the left). It is next to the Greenhouse.
- Next, go into the Greenhouse and repair the Distillation Kit (pictured to the left) on the counter with the wrench. Do not touch the poisonous flowers or tinker with anything, just leave the Greenhouse.
- In about eight or so minutes, Emma will poison Alexa’s drink with some poison she made from the Distillation Kit you repaired. This will kill her, popping this trophy and unlocking the Poison Ivy challenge.

- To accuse Mr. Fernsby, you need to go into his office, and look through everything inside. This is enough evidence to accuse him.
- This is the main Mission Story for this level, so take your time as needed. This can get quite a few challenges and locations done.

A Day To Remember.
- To easily disguise yourself as the photographer, when he starts to walk around throw a coin on the other side of the bushes. There is a crate you can hide his body in right there.
- A fuse cell can just be found sitting on a container, on the south side of the house underneath the Trophy Room. This is easier than breaking in and stealing one from another electrical box.
- To actually kill Alexa, you will need to expose the wire on the electrical outlet and create a water leak with the valve close to it. When you take a picture with the camera, it will shock and kill whoever is sitting in the chair. This will unlock the One for the Ages challenge.

In this mission you will have no Diana or Mission Stories. This mission has 11 total possible targets, all ICA Agents, but you only need to eliminate five of them to end the mission. The first time you play through the mission you won’t be able to tell who the targets are, you will need to examine their movements and when they talk into their earpiece. Once they out themselves, they’ll turn red. All the targets are always enforcers no matter what disguise you’re in. Below is a breakdown of all the mission’s objectives.
ICA Agents.
Mission Objectives:
- Eliminate 5 ICA Agents.
- This mission has no Mission Stories due to the absence of Diana Burnwood, so you may have to go about killing the targets in a freeform way. Something that may help is disguising as the club owner and making your targets come to you, as described in the trophy Last Call (click that trophy for more information). Once you kill five ICA Agents, they will be called off and you may exit the mission.
- Find the exit.

This kill/challenge trophy is correlated to the Apex Predator mission. This is the closest thing to a Mission Story in this mission, since you don’t have a handler in this mission. This trophy is directly tied to the challenge There was a Fire Fight!. Read below for more information.
- Make your way to Level -2, into Hirschmüller’s Office. The easiest way inside is to have the biker disguise and just walk in.
- In the corner of the room, turn on the Gramophone (pictured to the right). This will make Hirschmüller come over and turn it off. Subdue him, hide his body, take his disguise, and take the Phonebook he drops.
- After you get rid of Hirschmüller, his two bodyguards will leave the room.
- Walk over to the desk and Schedule a Meeting with the Head of Security on the pager. He will tell you to sit tight and he will come over.
- Take a seat at Hirschmüller’s desk. You will hear chatter in your earpiece about plans to assassinate you because they know you aren’t actually Hirschmüller. This will bring five targets into the office. Do not panic.
- The head of security will come sit across the desk with you. Four other agents will post up behind him and look tough. He will ask you questions and be peaceful.
- Eventually, you will get the prompt to press R2 to kick the desk. You can either take the prompt or eventually Agent 47 will do it for you. Once he kicks out the desk and flips it on its side, there will be a Sawed-Off Shotgun on the bottom for you to take. Take it and kill everybody in the room.
- On the same bottom floor, there is an exit you can easily use. It doesn’t matter which exit you use, but the trophy will unlock after you leave the mission, and also the challenge There was a Fire Fight!.

Your two targets are Hush and Imogen Royce (pictured below). Hush can be found in “The Block”, his refurbished apartment complex for human experiments. Imogen Royce can be found around the underground ICA Facility, where she is head leader. Below is a breakdown of this mission’s objectives.
Hush.
Imogen Royce.
Mission Objectives:
- Eliminate Hush.
- Check out the “Eliminate Imogen Royce” objective below to learn more about killing them both at the same time.
- Eliminate Imogen Royce.
- A good Mission Story to follow to eliminate both targets at once is “All-Seeing Eyes“. This will require some precision with sniper shots but if you do it right it will eventually lead to both targets meeting alone on Lotus Bridge, where you can kill them both.
- Hack Data Core.
- To hack the Data Core, you will first need to eliminate both targets. You will need to infiltrate the underground ICA Facility, so either go through the entrance behind the sushi place or disguise yourself as the tour participant inside (it will be obvious who that is). Make your way to the bottom floor and climb through some vents to access the core room. After hacking the core, retrace your steps and watch out for the guards searching. The video walkthrough below has a good route if this is confusing.

Console Cowboy
Use Royce’s terminal to fry the core.
This kill trophy is related to the mission End Of An Era. You only need Imogen Royce alive for this to work, Hush can be dead. Read below for a walkthrough on how to do this, along with a video guide.
- Follow the Story Mission “Certainty Principal” all the way. At the end, Imogen Royce will leave you in her office alone. Make a save file as soon as she leaves.
- In the centre of the room there will be a huge screen with a Terminal in front of it (pictured to the right). Hold Triangle to use the Terminal.
- This terminal has the ability to fire three different employees. All three will have different reactions and responses.
- Right away, fire Alicia Reynolds. She will have a reaction, and the terminal’s screen will be inaccessible for a little bit.
- As soon as you can access the screen again, fire Jeremy Bolt. Once again, the screen will become inaccessible on the terminal for a short period.
- Now, look at the bottom right screen inside the core. Soon enough, Imogen Royce will walk inside. Let her take a good few steps inside and then fire Sharon Reed.
- When you fire Sharon Reed, she will press a button to clean the core, which will kill Imogen Royce (pictured to the right) because Alicia Reynolds disabled the safety mechanism. This will unlock the Medium Rare challenge and this trophy.

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

- To kill somebody with a silenced pistol, you will first need to craft a silenced pistol. First, you will need to pick up a guard’s HWK21 Pale pistol. They all carry one.
- Next, venture into the train until you see the weapon’s bench (pictured to the right). This will allow you to craft a Silenced Pistol. Go kill a guard with it.
- Both an ICA SMG Raptor Covert and an ICA Tactical Shotgun Covert can be found inside the Passenger Car Door shortcut (pictured to the left), if you have that unlocked.

Count Down From 47

This challenge trophy is for the mission Untouchable. At the very end of the mission, when you pick up the Serum, don’t inject Edwards. Just stay still for 47 seconds until Edwards asks if you are having second thoughts.

This will play a cutscene, unlocking the A New Father challenge and Count Down From 47.

Train Surfing
Complete all Untouchable Challenges.
This challenge trophy is for the mission Untouchable. This may seem like it may take a while to do, but in reality this trophy is weirdly worded. There are only two challenges you need to do for this trophy, Losing Everything and Straight Shot. Before you kill Arthur Edwards, make a save file. Inject the Serum into Edwards and let the cutscene play out. Then, load up your save file and shoot him in the head.
Please Note: This trophy has since been updated to include new challenges. The new challenges are found under the “Codename 47” tab in the challenges. These challenges will have you go across a few maps to complete various objectives. Watch the video below to complete them.
- The Red Dragon (Chongqing) – Eliminate any target with a headshot from a sniper rifle from the neon sign vantage point.
- The easiest starting location is the Balcony. Make sure to pack a sniper rifle inside a briefcase and put it on your back when you start the mission. You can quickly run to the “Glorious Leap Sign” and snipe Hush through his window.
- Say Hello to My Little Friend (Santa Fortuna) – Pacify the Shaman with the Golden Idol.
- You can find the Gold Idol by unlocking a house up the hill from the harbor. The house is colored orange (opposite the Drummer’s Apartment on the map) and you can unlock it with a lockpick, the idol is sitting on the table. Next, you’ll need to find the Shaman, who is located inside the Jungle across the bridge. It does not matter if you are seen knocking him out.
- Traditions of the Trade (Bangkok) – Drown a target.
- This can be quite quick if you have a spawn close to a target and a Sieker. Make a target sick and drown them in the toilet.
- Explosions Run Loose (Berlin) – Eliminate 5 targets with explosions.
- This one is quite difficult because you cannot bring enough explosives and targets are spread quite far apart. The optimal way to complete this is to smuggle in two remote explosive devices and stash one more remote explosive. Make your way to Hirschmüller’s Office and disguise yourself as him and take his phone book. You can also find more propane tanks on the same level of his office, in the hallway. Plant his office full of explosives and use the pager to summon security, which five of your targets will show up. Use your remote explosives to blow his office to smithereens and hopefully kill five targets. Make sure to make saves so you don’t have to redo the entire setup.
- The Setup (Carpathian Mountains) – Eliminate every guard on the train and end the mission by injecting yourself.
- This is basically a challenge to kill everyone. There are 47 guards on the entire train, pick up as much firepower as you can and kill every guard you come across on the train. Use your instinct to find all signs of life and use frequent saves. At the end, pick up the serum and wait 47 seconds for the prompt to inject yourself, as you did with Count Down From 47.
With every challenge complete you will then unlock Train Surfing.

Last Stop
Reach Carpathian Mountains Mastery Level 5.
Carpathian Mountains differs from all the other Mastery Level trophies, because this one only requires you to reach Mastery Level 5, totalling 24,000 XP. This isn’t much of a challenge, and you will most likely unlock Last Stop through just a few playthroughs of the mission because it’s so linear. Below is a video of every challenge in the Carpathian Mountains. Just do a few of these and you’ll be set, no need for all 20.
