Hitman: Absolution

While this is story related and indeed cannot be missed, I will try to provide a detailed account of how to unlock this trophy.

DISCLAIMER: I will only be posting the solution that worked for ME and my PLAY STYLE! There are other solutions. Feel free to add them.

I will discuss Rosewood in 4 parts
1. Victoria's Ward
2. Orphanage Halls - ground and first floors
3. Retrieving Fuses on lower and higher difficulties
4. Finding and Eliminating Wade

Part one is retrieving Victoria from her Ward.

• 1. There will not be any threats in this section until you get near the exit, so for now explore room by room.
• 2. Thugs will be waiting near the exit which is an elevator. Just hide behind some curtains on the left and wait until they pass.
• 3. When the coast is clear, get in the elevator to see a cutscene.
• 4. Get to the roof. Grab onto a ledge but be mindful especially on higher difficulties to let the thugs pass before climbing up on the ledge.
• 5. On the right hallway there will be someone patrolling on higher difficulties.

Now you should be on the First Floor

• 1. You should try to subdue a thug nearby for a Henchmen disguise there should be one near the stairs leading to the ground floor.
• 2. The thugs will be torturing someone up ahead near the elevator. If you care about challenges then yes, save him. If not he'll die if you move on. Head to the right room. I avoided the left path because it was heavily patrolled.
• 3. I sneaked past a thug who was monitoring things near some stairs against a railing but you can easily subdue him too if you want.

Now you'll be on the Ground Floor.

• 1. Locate a Ventilation Shaft nearby and use it.
• 2. You should now be near the Canteen and Chapel.
• 3. Next to the Chapel is a Storeroom where you can find your First Fuse. Only if you're in Easy or Medium mode.
• 4.The Chapel is heavily guarded on higher difficulties. But this is where you'll find a Shotgun

Be aware that the Fuses change location depending on difficulty. If on Easy or Medium there will be a specific location but in Hard Mode on up they'll be in a DIFFERENT location.

That being said the First Fuse in Hard Mode can be found back on the previous floor. Remember the Tortured Guard? there is a small room close by. The fuse is under a bulletin board next to a radiator.

The Second Fuse In Easy Mode is in the exact same room as the First Fuse In Hard Mode but it will be on a Table which is by a Filing cabinet.

Remember the ventilation shaft I mentioned up above? You can get the Third Fuse on Easy Mode just wait in the shaft until the thugs leave to go to a meeting. You'll be near the Canteen in this room. The Fuse can be found on a table near a bookshelf and trash can.

The Last Fuse on Easy Mode can be a bit tricky because it's guarded by 2 thugs. It's on a counter in the lab.

The Second Fuse in Hard Mode can be found in the Lab where the Last Fuse was in Easy Mode but closer to the thugs. This room is loaded with enemies. I ran out of instinct so you will need to be very quick or you're going to need to try and take some thugs down as quietly as you can.

The Third Fuse in Hard Mode is in the Nursery? where the pit ball room is. Just wait until the 2 thugs turn away and very quickly grab the fuse.

The Last Fuse in Hard Mode is on the Ground Floor and you will either need a disguise with some instinct or you will need some throwing objects for a distraction. Because the Fuse is at the Reception Desk you can use the desk as cover if needed This is also where you can find the Evidence.

Now you need to Restore Power. So return to the Ground Floor with the Four Fuses and go to the hallway that's left from the stairs and reception. Now just go to where you see red lighting and breaker boxes. Just put the Fuses in the correct places and pull the Lever.

We should be in Central Heating now.

• 1. Try to have the Henchmen disguise or throwing objects ready if you are on hard mode. You can even use instinct if you have any because there will be at least 3 thugs in this area to deal with in the starting room.
• 2. In the next hallway be ready for more Distractions or you can simply take down the couple of thugs here to obtain the Evidence It will be against the wall on top of some containers.
• 3. This next part is trickier on Hard Mode. Try your best to avoid confrontation here as there are a lot of enemies. Sneak past anyone you can and keep moving along the hallway.
• 4. Stop in an area along the way where there is a right light along the walls and an Upper Balcony Climb up it.
• 5. Again on Hard Mode there will be additional thugs up here so be very careful. It's very easy to get spotted up here. I used cover along the railings.
• 6. Go to the very end of the balcony and climb down when you can.
• 7. If you still have the Henchmen disguise you can use instinct to get to to the exit which is a Blue Door.

After a brief mini cutscene, now we are on our way to find Wade.

I will state right now that I did the confrontation method. Meaning I went right to his hiding spot and shot him. Be aware you are going to be ambushed by 3 or 4 thugs with him. so remember use instinct here: Hold then mark the guards heads and mark Wade too and then hit

If there is any left over just shoot the rest before they kill you. As soon as Wade himself is down the trophy will pop.

After a long cutscene mission will be complete!
