Great walkthrough. Great video's! thumbs up. Keep it up with the rest of the levels, these were great. Maybe it'll worth to mention you can just quit the mission after completing a challenge, you don't have to complete the whole mission or even wait until the next checkpoint. It'll save.

It would be worth noting in your guide that there are far more than 100 challenges. Unless you've already played the game through, or have done some outside reading on them, you probably don't know that you can do less than half the challenges in the game and still get this achievement.

@PuckJunkie, though I agree with including the info, I do not think it is essential. The totally number of challenges is shown in broad daylight in the game. Unless you are a very poor observer, you should have seen it by now.

I did finally see it, but if you're like me and just explore the in-game menu rather than the main menu outside the game, you'll never find it. Really would be helpful for someone just starting the game, since you'd know from the start that way that you don't have to do every single challenge.

Rosewood subtle injection -- stealth is certainly not required. I received the final 3 of 5 kills for subtle injection 3 while in open combat (red arrows, enemies firing at me, etc.)

@ LGS I Hitman, when you look at the challenges in the game it says at the bottom of the screen that challenges cannot be done on easy. Does anyone even read or try to do things without using a solution from TA.

I completed most of the challenges I needed by doing mission replays before and after completing the campaign, so you're not going to lose anything by replaying.

Most of these are pretty straightforward, and I don't see why they didn't just make the achievement for all 278 challenges. I just finished the bar fight level and have done all challenges so far, and already have the achievement. It's a surprise to me that the ratio is this high (especially since it's 150GS)

There are 278 challenges in the game. You need to finish 100 for the achievement. The solution provides details for 100-ish challenges. Ergo, the solution leads you to the achievement.

I can't figure out why this achievement is worth so many points because it is relatively simple to do. If having troubles, put it on normal - unlock the challenge and restart. It was fun doing them and I think I unlocked the achievement around the Hope level

For some reason I thought this achievement said "Complete 100% of all challenges". I'm so pumped that in reality you only have to do 100 instead of like 300. Lol I'm dumb

Do you know if I beat the story and didn't get 100 challenges that I could go back to select missions and won't have to worry about the challenges I done complete already will they reset or not? I done 50 challenges so I'm close to getting this achievement but there's some challenges I didn't finish so if I select mission don't won't reset the challenges I already done will it?

This is the best guide I've found. It gives pictures for every level, and actually guides you through each challenge.

Before anyone gets intimidated by this trophy, just know that this trophy's image is deceiving.

There are a total of 278 challenges in this game. To unlock this trophy you need to get 100 of the 278 (hardly 100% roll).

Challenges are pretty basic, with some trials thrown in the mix. Most challenges are relatively easy (Chameleon, Infiltrator, Suit Only, etc). Sometimes you have to kill certain people in certain ways, sometimes you have to interact with your environment in certain ways, and sometimes you need to just do something without being seen.

I got my 100th challenge done right before Skurky's Law.

Also, please note that challenges can not be completed on Easy - you need to be on Normal difficulty or higher.

Lastly, if you complete a mission, and missed a few challenges, you can go back in unlock more at any point.

Questions, corrections and Neg Vote Justifications below.

Challenges are within every level. There are a total of 278 that are available. There are level specific challenges, and challenges that are universal for each mission. If you are replaying a level, you may quit out or restart the checkpoint and the challenge would have saved.

Note: Cannot be obtained on easy difficulty.

For specific information on the challenges which help you complete them, visit the below thread.

Challenges Guide

CHALLENGES CAN ONLY BE COMPLETED ON NORMAL OR ABOVE

Note: If you die you will not lose the challenge you unlocked, same goes for restarting checkpoints. You can quit and the challenge will still save.

There is a total of 278 challenges in the game, 19 of those are just for collecting all the evidence in the game. Most of them are pretty easy and you'll get a few just by playing. The only difficult thing about them is the game doesn't actually tell you what the challenges are. You just get a cryptic clue and you have to work out what it means. You can check challenges by going to the statistics page on the main menu, or by pressing in game and scrolling over to the challenge section. I completed around 80 in my first playthrough and that was me not even trying to get them.

Once you finish the game your best bet is to just replay missions without changing disguises (I'm sure you missed this challenge in every level). This will give you another 15 or towards the total. Same goes for challenges like changing into x disguises and the one for not getting spotted at all. All missions have these challenges. There are also challenges for assassinating targets in a specific way and the challenges for them are easily deciphered.

Here are the challenge video guides for each chapter:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...dqqU1kV5uFrE8Y

The caption for each video is easy to navigate, so finding the passage of a specific test will not be difficult. For the trophy you need to complete 100 of any.

It is not necessary to work each level to “perfection”: there are significantly more than a hundred challenges in the game.

I got it on the mission “Night of the Saints”, I just tried to do everything in stealth and carried out many kills of targets in different ways. Now I don’t know whether to complete all the missions 100%.

Obtaining this trophy is only possible on Normal difficulty and higher. On simple difficulty the challenges will not be counted.
