How to unlock the Hokkaido Escalated achievement in HITMAN - Definitive Guide

Hokkaido Escalated - 20G

Intro
Since FeizR's guide covers the Meiko Incarnation, this will walk you through the new (February 2017) "Susumu Obsession", which I personally found to be much easier to complete. No video (I'm largely useless when it come to Youtube), but hopefully this text walkthrough will be enough to help you get Silent Assassin on each level, and ultimately, the achievement. As this is my first solution, please let me know if there's anything to be fixed/improved!

Setup
You will need to be Mastery Level 20 to unlock all the gear slots, and in doing so, you'll unlock all the items you'll need for the contract. Then, as your loadout, you'll want:
Gear 1: Shuriken
Gear 2: Disposable Scrambler
Starting Location: Tobias Rieper's Suite
Suit: VIP Patient
Smuggled Item: N/A

You can keep that setup throughout all 5 levels. Since you're Level 20, I'm going to assume you're familiar with the basic layout of level. With that, you're ready to dive in.

EDIT: As Swebbie Jr points out, there's also a way to do this if you're not Mastery Level 20 yet. Head to the comments for his workaround!

Level 1
Eliminate Amos Dexter (any method, any disguise).

Get out of bed, and head out to your balcony. Go to your right, and you'll see Dexter on his terrace. Crouch down by the railing and equip your Shuriken. Throw one at his head when he's on the phone - (he'll say "Teresa, it's me, listen").

Head back into your room and then out the exit of your choice.

Level 2
Eliminate Amos Dexter (any method, any disguise).
Eliminate Ikkei Tsutsui (any method, disguised as Dexter). New

Kill Dexter in the same way as in Level 1. Then, vault over the railing you're crouched behind, and shimmy all the way round onto Dexter's terrace. When you're there, pick up your shuriken, grab his robes, and (optionally) dump his body over the side because you may as well and he seems like a bit of a douche.

Next, head on through Dexter's room, picking up the cowboy bust from his table on your way past. Go out of Dexter's room head forward and you'll see two staff members either side of the corridor. Just behind them, on the left, there's a door leading to a corridor and the kitchen. Be careful not to get spotted, then use the Disposable Scrambler to get inside. Head into the kitchen stealthily.

If you've kept a reasonable pace up until now, your target, Tsutsui, should be on the left, staring at the wall. Ignore him for now, he's not important. Instead, wait until the other chef comes over to the side of the kitchen near you (he'll stand over an oven). Throw the bust at the non-target chef's head, knocking him out. When he's down, take out Tsutsui any way you see fit. I went with a shuriken, but a neck break will do just as well.

Hide both bodies in the freezer by the window. If you use the other one, there's a chance the chef that occasionally stands at the top of stairs will see you dumping the bodies.

Exit Strategy
Head up the staircase into the main eating area and then back towards the cable car exit. Make sure the chef that stands at the top isn't there first, before you make a break for it. Also, don't steal a chef's disguise! The staff members will recognise you.

Level 3
Eliminate Amos Dexter (any method, any disguise).
Eliminate Ikkei Tsutsui (any method, disguised as Dexter).
Get the Fugu fish poison. New
Complication: Sticky Dexter (once equipped, you're stuck in Dexter's disguise) New

Repeat Level 2 up until you've dumped the bodies. Look around the kitchen for a knife. It's on the counter towards the window-end of the work surfaces. Head into the food storage and use the knife to get the fish poison. Head on out.

Level 4
Eliminate Amos Dexter (any method, any disguise).
Eliminate Ikkei Tsutsui (any method, disguised as Dexter).
Get the Fugu fish poison.
Complication: Sticky Dexter (once equipped, you're stuck in Dexter's disguise).
Complication: Wild Card (some things have moved). New

Repeat Level 3. Grab the knife, and with the windows behind you, walk forward and you should see the new location for the fugu. Exit the usual way.

Level 5
Eliminate Amos Dexter (any method, any disguise).
Eliminate Ikkei Tsutsui (any method, disguised as Dexter).
Eliminate Yamato Narita New
Get the Fugu fish poison.
Complication: Sticky Dexter (once equipped, you're stuck in Dexter's disguise).
Complication: Wild Card (some things have moved).

Repeat Level 4 until you've got the fugu fish poison. Look around the kitchen again. You'll see a metal serving hatch in the wall, with a few plates in a line. You want to use the Fugu to poison the plate on the far left. Then, make sure the bodies are hidden and hit the button to open the hatch. As you make your way out, Narita will eat the poison and promptly expire.

And that's that! I hope that helps, and again, if you've got any recommendations/changes/anything, let me know.

Edit: Grammar fixes x4

Edit: Updated based on feedback from Wabbbit and MAJORPOOPY. Credit to them for the suggestion to use the Disposable Scrambler. It's much easier!

Edit: As JaysBetterThanU pointed out, I managed to call Amos Dexter the wrong name all the way through this guide. Edited to fix that.

Scrambler was much quicker. Crouch through that door into the kitchen door. Bash their heads in and hide the bodies. Run back out through the staircase to the left of the kitchen straight to the cable car.

Gear slots are unlocked at Mastery Level 20, so you'll need to do a few challenges before attempting this achievement!

Good call, I'll edit my solution and direct people to your comment if they're not mastery level 20.

I've had trouble with achievements not unlocking for the past few days, with some popping an hour or so after their requirements are met.

It's been a while since I played any Hitman so I'm not sure how much help this will be, but if it hasn't unlocked for you yet, maybe try one of these options:
1) Complete one of the other escalation contracts in Hokkaido
2) Replay just level 5
3) There is an option to reset this contract so you can play through it again from level 1 upwards.

Other than that, I don't know what to suggest, hopefully one of those will help though!

You need the game of the year edition for this escalation, which costs money.

I don't have the GOTY edition, so unless it's been locked behind the GOTY edition retroactively you should be able to access it.

There is an Escalation Contract that can only be accessed with the GOTY edition, 'The Dexter Discordance', but you should still be able to play other three - 'The Susumu Obsession' (the one this guide covers), 'The Yuuma Tenacity', and 'The Meiko Incarnation'.

Absolutely perfect, thank you. I also don't have the GOTY edition, just the regular disc.

And of course because this escalation was reasonable, it was eliminated in the HITMAN 2 version. I don't know for which fringe players that IOI is making these things but I do only one for the achievement and ignore the others. I hope they get the message that they're wasting their time making escalations that almost no one plays when they should be fixing the numerous bugs in the main game instead.

No idea why you advised using the shuriken since you get to start with your pistol at mastery 20, but everything else was perfect, thanks!

@Flobb212 - Happy to help! I went with a shuriken because I am really, really bad at aiming, and the shuriken takes care of that for you! Plus, there's just something so satisfying about throwing objects on this game.

Great guide, thank you! You can spare some time by not hiding any body up until level 5, where you must hide the two cooks before opening the window with the poisoned sushi. Before that point, unless you go for high score, no reason to hide them.

Nice guide. The only thing I would suggest is that the exit via the "airlock" doors from the kitchen leading back to the guest rooms and towards the lift is the fastest and safest exit?

If you are already mastery level 20 for this level (so can start with items) note you can go from the corridor outside Dexters room straight into the kitchen with the scrambler.


If you don't mind collateral damage you can use the above technique to get to the kitchen, stab both chefs, get the fugu and exit. For the 5th one, you have to hide their bodies though or people will see them through the hatch - although the guy will still (eventually) eat the poisoned food

Tirathian's solution can be tweaked slightly and obtained right from Mastery Lvl 1.

Start in Tobias Rieper's suite as described. As soon as you're able, jump out of bed, run into your bathroom and grab the scissors there, just above the sink.

Run back out and head to the balcony. If you're quick enough, Dexter will start talking on the phone. Throw your scissors at him to take him out.

Pick your scissors back up when you take Dexter's outfit, and grab the bust as Tirathian describes. Run out of his room, up the stairs and take a left into the restaurant. Take another left as you go in and you'll see a bar surrounding the stairs down into the kitchen. It's not too hard to wait for a suitable moment to sneak past the two chefs behind the counter to get to the stairs.

Once that's done, Tirathian's guide takes you the rest of the way!

As mentioned above, susumu obsession is easiest way to do this achievement, heres my video guide for level 5 of the escalation, i made few mistakes like stabbed wrong people and threw wrong item at first, but i think the guide is still pretty valid


Hope you enjoy, if you do and find this helpful, leave a like <3

also you can use fugu poison with 3rd dish. Less risky I think. Good video guide toast

This solution follows the “The Meiko Incarnation” contract. It is not nearly as difficult as the one in Colorado, but levels 3 and 4 can provide some trouble.

The best thing to do would be wait until you unlock the Hidden Mountain Path starting location and the pickup for that location, as well as the starting location in the morgue and the morgue pick up as well. When selecting your gear, pick the shuriken and lockpick to ensure the smoothest run possible. The only level that might really stump the player is level 5, and luckily for us, PowerPyx has a wonderful video showing his solution on how to quickly and easily beat it.

You can easily and quickly aggravate "Susumu's Obsession". We appear in the kitchen, cut the fish, and then the goals. You can put a weapon, such as a shotgun, in a hiding place in the kitchen pantry. In levels 3-5, the fish was moved from the pantry to the kitchen. My video is at 2:26 .

Or you can go through "Meiko's Incarnation", which is a little longer. It is better to put a master key in the cache so as not to have to look for the key. My video is 3:44 .

My video , a little faster and easier!
we start in the room, quickly run to the toilet, take the scissors, (if you don’t yet have access to weapons) go to the balcony and wait for the moment when we can throw the scissors

We start in the room. Let's go to the balcony. We extinguish Dexter with a well-aimed shot and make our way along the beam to his balcony. Let's take the props.
We exit straight, go to the kitchen, using the service passage immediately to the left of the hospital employees who greet you (take a disposable scrambler to open the door from the service room). In the kitchen we extinguish the target, knock out the second one until he sees it. Let's hide it. We cut the fish.
Nearby there are ready-made dishes in the window, which visitors will pay attention to as soon as you open the screen. We poison the dish on the left with the poison of the puffer fish. We open the screen. While people are approaching, we go to the helicopter. The target has been eliminated, you are already at the helicopter.
