Hope it helps
Maybe one of you also had this problem:
I finished the game on hard difficulty but did not get the Absolution achievement.
First of all i went to level select tried to find out whether you can see which levels you already did on hard in your playthrough ( unfortunately I did not find anything that says something about the difficulty you finished each level on ). Then I noticed that there are different rates in each level which obviously depend on the things you do while playing it. I can't confirm that you need at least some points in each level on hard at the end to unlock the achievement but it seems like you need some since I repeated every mission where I did not score any points for some reason. When I still did not get the achievement after doing so I went to mission "One of a Kind" and just collected every of these 12 possible collectibles you are able to get in this mission ( just enter the door on the left side in the room and you will easily find every item downstairs whereas the last item is left to the fitting room ).
For some reason the achievement popped for me after that. I actually do not know if you need to do what I did before but it appears to me that it could have influenced getting it. As far as I remember I did not change the difficulty in "One of a Kind" in my playthrough which makes this method quite curious. Anyway I can confirm I got the achievement after doing all of these steps.
Let me know if this probably also worked for you.
I would suggest starting the game on Hard (the first of three Professional Difficulties) and play through. The game on Hard is really not that difficult - the only real difference is you use up your instinct crazy fast.
If you find yourself stuck on a mission, chances are you are overlooking something. Seriously, every level has about 50 "hard-ways' to complete it or 1 very simple "easy-way". If you find yourself getting into a messy situation, and dying, then at the checkpoint change up your strategy.
On Hard you really need to take advantage of the stealth aspects of the game - grab disguises, use vents, crouch - you know, all the "hug-the-shadows" maneuvers. Busting down the front door and running in guns-a-blazin' will just leave you dead and starting back at the checkpoint, so do yourself a favor, take your time on these missions and learn the surroundings. Using the layout to your advantage will not only get you through these missions with minimal headaches, but it will also get this trophy done in seriously no time at all.
Questions, corrections and neg vote justifications below.
There are 5 total difficulties to choose from:
- Easy
- Normal
- Hard
- Expert
- Purist
Complete each mission on Hard or higher without changing the difficulty. Pick one of those difficulties and stick with it until you have the achievement. All three are considered "professional". You have no player activated checkpoints and enemies have better than average reaction times. Also your instinct won't restore on it's own.
You always have the option to replay missions on easier settings. The game always asks you what difficulty you want to play the missions on. If you play the entire game on Normal, you can just replay missions on Hard to gain the achievement. You do not have to restart the entire game. Replaying missions will work.

GLITCHED: Many have reported this trophy didn't unlock for them, but it's rare to happen. There is currently no known way of preventing it. If this trophy glitches on you, delete the patch and play offline on a new save.
Note: If you didn't do your first playthrough on this difficulty, you can get the trophy via new story or level select. If you choose new story you won't lose challenge progress. Also, Maka on x360a has made a full YouTube walkthrough for each level on hard, it can be found here:
Hitman: Absolution Hard Walkthrough
The minimum difficulty you can play on for this is Hard. Hard mode means enemies will see through your disguise much easier and there will be more enemies to avoid in the missions. I advise choosing this difficulty from the get go as it isn't very difficult. Here's some tips:
- Sneak - This is the best way to tackle hard difficulty. If you sneak the whole game you'll find it easy, but sneaking isn't always easy to do and it means waiting around for a while. Use instinct to help you see where enemies are going to walk to etc to make it easier for you.
- Instinct - This will really help you out in certain situations. If your in a disguise and have enough instinct you can use it to cover to face and blend, this will prevent enemies seeing through your disguise. You can also do point shooting, where you freeze time and target enemies, then execute it for one shot kills on all selected targets. Use this when you have to take a few enemies out quickly at once.
- Act Efficiently If you have to kill enemies, don't leave them to get spotted as this makes enemies suspicious. Hide them in bins, cupboards etc so enemies don't find them. Also, when using disguises you have to pick the right one for the job. For example, a police officer won't see through your disguise if your wearing a disguise that isn't a police disguise. The same works for others. The final thing to remember is trial and error, if things don't go right a certain way just restart the checkpoint and try again. If you have enough ammo though, you can just kill everybody to finish missions quickly.
POSSIBLY GLITCHED: In the PS3 verison of the game, many have reported this trophy didn't unlock for them, but it was rare to happen. It is currently unknown if this same glitch is present in the PS4 version.
Note: If you didn't do your first playthrough on this difficulty, you can get the trophy via new story or level select. If you choose new story you won't lose challenge progress. Also, Maka on x360a has made a full YouTube walkthrough for each level on hard, it can be found here: LINK
