How to unlock the Information is Power achievement in Hitman: Absolution - Definitive Guide

Update on 06.04.2014 - In April 2014, Hitman Absolution was in the Gold for Games promotion from Microsoft and i create a complete Silent Hard Difficulty Walkthrough WITH Collectibles for the Absolution Achievement. If you want, take a look here:

Hitman: AbsolutionAbsolutionThe Absolution achievement in Hitman: Absolution worth 165 pointsComplete Hitman: Absolution™ on any professional difficulty

Hi Guys,

Here is my solution for the achievement. You must collect 45 pieces of evidence, the game has 46, but in the Mission "One of a Kind" there is a piece of evidence which does not count towards the achievement.

I split my videos in two parts because I collected 43/45 as Silent Guide. You’ll see which ways you can do it to collect the evidence without alerting the enemies. All Items are collected on normal difficulty.

I’m now posting time links to each piece of evidence, direct links are not working here but on Youtube you can click direct to the specific piece of evidence you desire. In the Spoiler are always the Timeline for each Collectible.

Part 1:
A Personal Contract

The King of Chinatown

Terminus

Run For Your Life

Hunter and Hunted

Rosewood

Welcome to Hope

Birdies Gift

Shaving Lenny

Dexter Industries

Death Factory - Todes Fabrik

Part 2:
Fight Night

Attack of the Saints

Skurky's Law

Operation Sledgehammer

One of a Kind

Blackwater Park

Countdown

Absolution

Regards

Thx to Prattalmighty for a correct Translation ;)

It might be worth noting that once you collect the evidence you can quit out and it will still count, no need to do the whole level

I have gathered every single piece of evidence and double-checked it in my stats and still haven't got the achievement... :(
Anyone else have the same problem? or better yet a solution for this problem.. :/

Mine glitched too. Might be because I was getting killed moments after or even during some of the evidence pick-ups. Hope there is a way to fix this without deleting my save and redoing all of it again.

Fantastic guide. If you're familiar with the levels these should all be a breeze to get to. Several of them I managed to scoop up without first making the distractions shown in the vid which really saved time, too.

So I went back to get missed evidence on easy and it didn't count. I'm under the impression that the evidence must be collected on hard for it to count, because I went back on hard and the challenge counter came up. I was able to just quit out, as other people have mentioned.

To all that don't get it, it seems you're all playing on easy and the game very clearly states at the very start that challenges (which include evidence) don't count on easy. This must be done on normal or above. It even says in the OP these evidence are collected in normal so why are you trying to do it in easy?

Great guide though, by the way ;)

A bit of information regarding this achievement not unlocking. The first time I collected the 45 pieces the achievement glitched. The last piece I picked up was in the prologue. I tried picking up the 46th piece in "One of a kind" but it wouldn't work.
Fortunately, I had a backup save close to the end of the game, which I loaded. This time I immediately picked up the piece of evidence left in the prologue then proceeded with the game. As soon as I picked up the 46th piece (I had also picked up the one in "One of a kind") in mission 20 the achievement unlocked.
To sum things up, the achievement appears to glitch if the 45th (or 46th) piece of evidence you pick up is in the prologue. Therefore, NEVER FINISH THE MOPPING-UP FOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE PROLOGUE.

okay so i was collecting evidence and i was playing hsaving lenny at the barbershop part i grab the evidence and died now when i checked the challenges it said i did collect all the l but i said to myself there is no way i collected the evidence in time so i went back to the evidence and there it was so i collected it this time and that is what you might have to do on the evidence you died while collecting it is just go back to it and double check

Well, the majority of people are getting this no problem, myself included. I already had the evidence for the last 3 missions before getting the rest, so it can't be that. I got approx half the evidence without actually completing any missions, just quitting out as soon as picked up, so a mission completion isn't required. Sometimes I was under fire, sometimes I was in the clear, status when picking up the evidence didn't affect me. My achievement popped as soon as picking up my last bit of evidence (Blackwater Rooftops) and I never played a game on easy.

There's a poster above who says they didn't get the achievement and reckoned they must have picked up some on easy, so went back re-picking up on hard and now they have the achievement.

Just something to consider ;)

Here's a spreadsheet for marking off one's you have already.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Nhau4n1i__Qi13d1pFSlhZR0U...

Made it up for myself, figured someone else may make use of it :)
The "Complete" column on the left I used for when looking at the evidence in the Challenges section on the main menu, as it doesn't give level names in there.

EDIT: Just to confirm, this does not tell you where to find the evidence, only allows you to mark off ones you have and easily, graphically tell what ones you have left to get. Similar spreadsheets have proved helpful to others in the past, hence why I uploaded this one, so not sure whats with the downvotes.. heh.

Also, for anyone unable to open .xlsx (2007/2010) here's an .xls (2000/2003) :)

I ended up doing the game on easy, didn't realise that the evidence didn't count so went back through on Normal difficulty.

You don't have to play the whole game or start a new just jump between levels grab the evidence them quit out. Like Bashford said, wait for the tracker bar to appear and show it's counted before quitting to main menu.

@Mr james 815, you can do this by replays, I loaded a level, checked the challenges to see what sections I needed the evidence from then loaded up those sections, got the evidence waited for the challenge counter to pop up and quit the level. easy as that

Below is an excellent video I used for this trophy. Credit goes to PowerPyx, and it is really well done.

There are challenges associated with gathering the evidence for every level, so it is really easy to track which areas you missed. Challenges can be viewed from the title screen under the "Unlocks" option.

Questions, corrections and neg vote justifications below.

There are 45 pieces of evidence to collect through the missions. There is an in-game tracker that shows which evidence you have collected and on which levels. In the challenges screen during levels, you can see what section of the level has evidence and if you have obtained it or not. You can also view this from the main menu in the challenges section.

Visit this thread here for a guide to obtain them all. It's both written and has a video to help.

WARNING! You must be playing on normal or above! The trophy won't unlock otherwise.

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.

There's actually 46 pieces of evidence in the game, but the one in the tailor shop doesn't count towards the trophy. Evidence comes in the form of dossiers and video tapes and there's a couple in each mission. Once you've picked one up that's it, it's saved forever and you don't have to pick it up again if you quit, restart or die. The best way is to go Rambo to get them, then once you've gotten it just restart the checkpoint and play stealthy, whatever you prefer. See the video below for the locations of them all, or alternatively see my external thread:

There are only 45 clues that you need to collect. Attention! All collected evidence will be taken into account and your progress will be saved, only when playing on the “Normal” difficulty level or on the “Professional” level, playing on the “Easy” difficulty level you will not receive a trophy.

If you missed some evidence, you can start any mission and, without paying attention to the enemies, take the evidence and go to the main menu, you will get credit, I checked it myself.

Evidence counts towards trials, one piece for each chapter. Therefore, I recommend getting the trophy before you start finishing 100 challenges, to save time.

Attention! At the "One of a Kind" level, if you go down to the basement you can find evidence, it does not count for the trophy. Don't worry about her.

It is also worth noting that evidence can be collected again, there will be no glitch later.

To see where and how much you have collected, you need to view the level tests either from the global statistics in the menu, you can also view information on the current level, which is called up by the Select button.
