If you BUY the disguise, will it count towards the Chameleon challenges? Not that I'm paying 1 million a piece for them but I am curious.

I got this trophy in mission 7 or 8 but you can get it sooner if you want to go for ALL challenges each mission.

Here is a brief list of various challenges and the solution on how to obtain it.

Some of these you'll get naturally by playing the game, or by completing missions. Most others require some work or finesse to obtain. You have to be on Medium Mode on up to get access to these challenges.

Personal Contract has 11 challenges!

  • 1. Evidence Collector - Find the first evidence in the Security Room in the Cliff part of the tutorial. Find the second evidence on a table in the mansion in the Ground Floor part of the tutorial.
  • 2. Infiltrator - simply complete the four sections of the Gardens, the Greenhouse, the Cliffside, and the Mansion Ground Floor.
  • 3. Chameleon - you have to collect the following 4 disguises: 1. The Gardener disguise: can be picked up in the Greenhouse section. 2. Also in the Greenhouse section you'll need to stun or kill a guard to get the Mansion Exterior Guard disguise. 3. In the cliffside section in the security room where I had you get the evidence early you can find another disguise. This one is Mansion Interior Guard. 4. In the mansion Ground Floor section there is a Chef you will need to subdue or give him sleeping pills (for another challenge #7 down below) to get this disguise.
  • 4. Suit Only - replay and COMPLETE the mission without using any disguises. Tip: Try silent take downs and avoid line of sight. Use cover, and throwing objects as needed. Stealth is key.
  • 5. Modern Art - In the Gardens there is a statue. Wait for 2 guards to come to stand near/under it. Cause an accident by shooting the statue at its base and it will fall on the guards.
  • 6. Geronimo - In the Cliffside section, there will will be a guard near an open window talking on the phone. Grab him while he's takling and pitch him out the window.
  • 7. Extra Spice - You should have this all ready if you followed the guide above. But just in case: In the Mansion Ground floor section you can find sleeping pills in a Bathroom. Return to the kitchen. See the boiling pot? Put the pills in there and wait for the Chef to taste it and fall asleep in a nearby chair.
  • 8. Damn Good Coffee - Remember the pills in the Bathroom? this time use them at the Mansion Ground Floor and put it in a Coffee Cup at the Bar near the Fireplace.
  • 9. Price of Treason - Just clear the mission.
  • 10. Play it Again - In the Mansion Ground Floor section be sure to obtain the chef disguise. The piano can be located in a corner across the bar. Wait until a guard sits down to play the piano. When he does quickly press the Interact key cn_T to bring down the cover and killing the guard.
  • 11. Well Played - It took me forever to get this one, because STEALTH is key. Essentially you need to knockout head of security (preferably with the sleeping pills). Get his keycard and then go assassinate Diana Burnwood. WITHOUT TAKING ANY OTHER CASUALTY.
BUT if you completed at least 10 challenges then this trophy should pop:

It's in the Residential Building Lobby.

There is a safe with flowers all over it in one room. Inside there will be explosives. But first we need to open it. Look for a Notebook that has the combination on it. Should be nearby, just wait for the policemen to go. Open the safe. There should be a Radio nearby for you to turn on. Get to nearby cover, probably in the next room and wait for the police to notice the safe. He will summon his friends. The distraction gives you time to move toward the elevator and detonate the explosives.
  • 10. In Stereo - Must be done in Shang-ri-La. In a disco-like room (left from the elevator) is a tape player. Turn it on. Hide because all nearby cops should start piling in.

Hitman: AbsolutionReach for the StarsThe Reach for the Stars trophy in Hitman: Absolution worth 47 pointsComplete 50 challenges


In truth I didn't get the 50 trophy until mission 13 or 14. I completed all 20 missions (finished the game) without even getting the Grand Master trophy. I had to replay missions AFTER the game was complete. These notes are for those that want the trophies as soon as possible. There are like 258 challenges in the entire game. It's up to you to pick and choose!

In fact, you will get the trophy during the game if you play stealth and use accidents to eliminate targets when the opportunity arises. I got it on the Saints without bothering with the knockout at all.
