How to unlock the Heavy Burden achievement in Hitman: Absolution - Definitive Guide

After you have completed the tutorial in the gardens, you will enter the mansion through a window. You will either take down, or avoid a guard. Steal his disguise, or one nearby. At this point, the game will allow you complete freedom of how to approach your target.

As there are multiple ways of completing missions in Hitman, I will simply provide notes about my approach;

- Avoided guard to my left by waiting for him to join the Head of Security (HoS) in the other room.
- Headed up the staircase to the left, and entered the bathroom (located across from the stairs and behind the guard at the balcony)
- Took Sleeping Pills and headed back downstairs
- Waited behind cover for the guard and chef to finish talking, and then walked through the kitchen, turned left and walked to the bar
- Carefully drugged the coffee on the bar, which will eventually be picked up by the HoS, who will then walk off to the right "to have a sit down".
- Followed the HoS after a few moments (you may need to hold RB to "blend" past the guards, though I did not have that option. Just quickly make your pay past them all) *Alternatively, backtrack to the kitchen, and walk through the door the guard used previously*
- Stole Keycard from HoS and hid the body in the nearby closet.
- Made my way back up the stairs, at which point the guard was gone. Walked around the right side of the balcony and unlocked the door.
-Made my way to the target and unlocked the achievement.

Obviously, there will be other ways of performing this assignment, but I've only just started playing the game.

This is in fact the ONLY way to get the well played challenge(Though to get that, YOU CANNOT HIDE THE BODY). Silent Assassin is bugged on this mission, and impossible to achieve. The highest possible score attainable is 31400 for using this method on pacifist and hiding the body as normal.

You can't get Silent Assassin on any mission without a target. Diana doesn't count as a target because you don't kill her yourself, 47 takes care of it during a cutscene, so there's no bonus for killing your target.

I think the highest you can earn is Shadow on these missions (I think thast's the highest, because every mission I've played so far I've had SA or Shadow by playing perfectly (a few Prosessional, but there were some mistakes made in those missions).

Thanks for the info about the sleeping pills. I knew it was an option for the coffee, and the pot on the stove, but had no idea on where to get the "additive" - BTW, is there any point to put the pills in the pot? Can you do the pot and the coffee?

You can do both at the same time. The pot is used to get the chef's outfit.

This is called Personal Contract in the game and serves as the games tutorial or introduction to the mechanics that will serve you well throughout the story.

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 describe Personal Contract in 5 parts.
1. Gardens.
2. Greenhouse
3. Cliff
4. Mansion ground floor
5. Mansion 2nd floor

The Gardens main goal is to find a passage leading to the greenhouse.

  • 1. Move straight ahead. After reaching the mansion's gate, choose a path located on the left. Be careful, because there is a single enemy in the area. Divert the attention of the guard by picking up axe, brick or crowbar and throwing that object (not directly at the guard!).
  • 2. Keep moving along the path. 2 more guards are up ahead. I just snuck past them.
  • 3. Choose the left path and head towards a shed on the left. Distract the single guard with either the book or coffee mug When the guard moves, go left.
  • 4. Use cover ahead when you see 2 guards. When they start talking, they will start moving. Go to the wooden bridge, turn left and quickly go to the entrance to the greenhouse.
The Greenhouse is mostly teaching you about disguises. But the main story objective is to get to the mansion.

  • 1. Get to the nearest cover and wait for the guards to get to the railing, To get mansion exterior guard disguise. you have to sneak up behind the guard and subdue or snap the neck.
  • 2. Move on towards the greenhouse with the guard disguise. Along your way you can find a gardener disguise but the guard disguise is easier to get into the greenhouse.
  • 3. If you're disguised as a guard, move to the left, walking past gardeners. In order to stay camouflaged, press and hold Instinct button. cn_R1 Do not release it until you enter the greenhouse and move away from them (this is very important on higher difficulty levels because enemies are then more sensitive to your actions).
  • 4. Do not approach talking guards but just interact with a valve. Wait until guards leave the greenhouse and follow them.
  • 5. Carefully approach guards standing next to the cliff. Sneak past them and keep on the right side of the stairs.
  • 6. Move to the building edge and press Interact button cn_T in order to "stick" to the wall. Move to the left and then lower down.
The Cliff forces you to maintain certain precautions and encourages exploring the area thoroughly in search of secret items. You'll find your first piece of evidence in this area which is linked to Information is Power trophy.

  • 1. Move successively to the left. Go pass two shutters on the way. After reaching the end of the edge, grab the upper one.
  • 2. Keep moving to the left. Stop at the shutter, where you'll see the guard. Wait until the guard finishes talking on the phone and moves away from the window. Go through the shutter.
  • 3. Let the Guards walk away and sneak past them.
  • 4. Use the door leading to the security room and spend some time to look around. You can find there evidence (secret) and another mansion interior guard disguise.
  • 5. Interact with the laptop in order to disable security system. Now you can head towards the door leading to the upper main of the mansion.
The Mansion Ground Floormain goal is to get a keycard from the head of security.

  • 1. To continue on easily be sure to have on the mansion interior guard disguise or the chef disguise I started as the guard and subdued the chef and hid his body.
  • 2. Once in the Chef Disguise I headed up the stairs to the balcony. Go to the bathroom to find Sleeping Pills
  • 3. In the mansion main room, go to the next room where you see a counter and a coffee mug and put the sleeping pills in there. Wait for the head of security to drink the coffee. He will pass out nearby in a chair. Take the keycard from his body and for good measure hide his body in a nearby closet.
  • 4. Look for evidence BEFORE using the keycard on the door. Go back to the main floor and look for some distant stairs near the starting point. Evidence should be around there.
  • 5. Finally go upstairs and distract the guard or simply just wait till he goes to the bathroom to use the keycard on the door scanner.
The Mansion Second Floor is where we assassinate Diana for the trophy.

  • 1. Follow a very linear path. Eventually you have to reach the bathroom with Diana. Trophy should pop here.
  • 2. Explore the rooms while you can.
  • 3. Hide behind cover when you come to the room with 4 guards.
  • 4. Remember use instinct here: Hold cn_R1 then mark the guards heads and then hit cn_R2
  • 5. Go where Victoria is located and just wait for Agent 47 to open the lock.
Mission completed!
