How to unlock the Kilroy was Here achievement in Sniper Elite V2 - Definitive Guide

Mission 6, Tiergaten Flak Tower

About 10 minutes into the mission, you will come to a tower's stairs. This is where the achievement starts at, not any of the killing in the building before that. There will be two checkpoints that you will have in case you get seen by a guard. One at the beginning of the tower, and one when going up the steps towards the top of the tower. Try to use the Welrod pistol to quietly take out the enemies.

*If you want to make this a lot easier, go to your options and turn on Subtitles if you have not already. This will let you know if an enemy has spotted you or discovered a dead body.*

You CAN reload the checkpoint if you get caught.

Yes, it does work if you restart the checkpoint. I got spotted like three times during the video and I just restarted the checkpoint. You can clearly see the video skip in the middle because that was where I had restarted the checkpoint. It has worked me and many others so you're obviously doing something wrong.

might i add that the achievement pops AFTER the cutscene of the target? so after you get to the location theres the cutscene of the guy, then it pops. confused me for sec, so thought it might help others.

The guards were looking for me, and the words "MAN DOWN" were on my screen when the cutscene kicked in - i can confirm that the guards finding bodies does not affect this.

I would certainly suggest doing it on casual. It just takes that bit of pressure off to aim for the body rather than the head.

Worked great! I'll also confirm that it works if a body is found (at least on the 2nd checkpoint) as a guard found one of the bodies I left lying around near the end.

I've confirmed that guards can discover dead bodies, *and* (which was my fear at first) that you can shoot an enemy more than once if needed (but obviously try to keep tht to a minimum), as long as they don't "discover" you. Apart from keeping the subtitles on you could have the music on: the moment the music changes pace you've been discovered, so reload from the checkpoint.

I played this on Sniper Elite difficulty.

Completed on Sniper Elite difficulty with enemy subtitles and music on. During my run through, the guards found 6 bodies, (I killed them while they were discovering their dead comrades). I shot some of the guards more than once. Reloaded checkpoints multiple times The achievement 'popped' after the cut scene, but before I had to snipe the target.

Not as difficult as the walkthrough suggests, it just takes a lot of patience. You can't just run through this, and you need to know at which point enemies will turn around and where they can see you. It took me a long time and at one point three guards were searching for me, but as long as you're not seen you're fine. I reloaded checkpoints all the time but it did not affect the achievement.

Just a couple notes for anyone attempting this. I got the achievement even though I got a yellow "attention arrow" so seemingly you just need to avoid a red "attention arrow". Also, the enemies discovered bodies and I still got the achievement. I actually killed one guy and then enemies started converging on the dead body and I killed them, which basically cleared out one big section of the roof, letting me go the rest of the way to the winch room uninterrupted.

I went the opposite way once I got to the AA gun on the roof. You can hop over a box, stealth kill one dude on the stairs, toss a rock to distract the guys at the top, then sprint to the finish line.

"*If you want to make this a lot easier, go to your options and turn on Subtitles if you have not already. This will let you know if an enemy has spotted you or discovered a dead body.*"

Several people, and I am one of them, have confirmed that enemies finding dead bodies does NOT void this achievement. Finding bodies does not equal detection. I had dead bodies discovered through all checkpoints and still got the achievement.

Please remove that last bit about bodies, as it implies a requirement for the achievement that does not exist. In other words, it's misinformation. Thank you.

Ok, after my 3rd try I got it. I think the secret is, is that if the body is going to get discovered, kill the person who finds it. Thats the only thing I did different. When I was on the roof and killed one, I waited a minute for him to be found then killed that guy. Also, at the end going into the Winch room, I didnt kill the guy that came out, just walked right past him, then ran to final checkpoint. You can get heard, just not seen, and perhaps killing the people who find your bodies.

I followed the laws of assassins creed,

walk past the first two, stealth kill the third, shoot the 4th

then basically follow as instructed in the video

then on the roof stealth kill the guy on the ledge, then same as video really, you can stealth but it is risky

then quickly run down and stealth the guy before the door, run in and viola you're done

This just popped for me and I really have no clue how. I was running through it mainly for the wine bottles and gold bars and figured Id give it a shot. I reloaded a few checkpoints,etc....but, was definitely seen by a ranked guy before I shot him and also had the whole place looking for me at one point. So, I just figured Id do a later runthrough to grab it and I got to the winch room and after the explosion it popped. I was kinda like, huh? (and quite happy) I just think its very buggy and almost luck of the draw after reading some of the other stories.

Like I said....I think it might just be a bit buggy. There really is no way in the word it should have come up for me. I wish I wouldve recorded it, but that would honestly probably piss you off. Once I figured i was pretty much already screwed, I just kinda coasted through the rest because I was getting collectibles as well. For some reason I restarted that last checkpoint before you go outside a few times, but thats about it. The guys were yelling about me being there, etc and i just crouched against a wa until they stopped. I think I used the end of converse's guide for the last part upstairs....way upstairs, before you go outside. When you go up the first set of stairs and there is that control room and that guy you can immediately see....you do not have to kill anybody through that whole section. Crouch and walk slow.

I just killed everyone on the roof except the guy in the radio room (forget him and the gold bar there) and it worked. I even killed the guys operating the flak cannons. Guards may spot dead bodies as long as they dont alert other guards. Then its an overall alarm and music gets faster. In this case the ALL the alerted guards yell something like "kill the sniper" or "its him, get into cover". THEN you are discovered. If a guard says something like "man down" or "corpse found", THEN you are fine! You even see it in the video. Second guard who gets killed gets spotted by a third guard who runs down the stairs and gets head-shotted. Youcan even use this as a strategy: kill one guard with welrod, let another single guard spot the dead body, kill him too. On the roof you can also use the sniper as long as the loud cannon fire covers the shot. Finally make sure your detection meter does not turn red - yellow and white is ok. Following this strategy you can kill EVERYONE on the roof.

In my kill run I was also going to the left instead of right like shown in the video. I killed the guard down the ladder during a loud sound. Then I went up the ladder, quickly shot 2 guards there with the welrod. Another guard got alerted and rushed to one of the corpses. I headshotted him as well. Then I went down the next ladder to the winch room door. Another guard comes out there but he can easily be killed during a loud sound. Basically thats it but the completionist in me went on and killed the rest of the Germans - still got it ^^.

While the video was helpful, you did take quite a few chances where you were relying a little too much on luck/skill. A lot of the kills that you made were unnecessary, and I think all of them that involved a head shot with the Welrod, especially the ones where the guards were looking right at you, was a lot of luck, or skill to get the pop and shot, break the usefulness of the guide/video.

Can confirm that they are allowed to see dead bodies ("Man Down") and even hear you ("What was that"). Both happened to me, but achievement still unlocked after the cut scene in the winch room.

I found the last section with the guns to be the most problamatic. I used the guide Converse supplied but avoided killing several of the guards. Turn on the enemy subtitles so you can tell when they discovered a dead body and restart, you can read it when you can't even hear them. Some invisble guard was locating dead bodies as I would almost get to the assassination scene even when all guards were cleared along the path I took so I took the extra time to dump them on the stairs off the main upper deck area and 7th time was the charm.....

I did it on normal difficulty and was having a b*tch of a time near the end because I kept geting spotted. I found that it is much easier when at the top of the stairs (where the ammo box is) to go out the door on the left rather than right, turn left and kill the guard going up the stairs during a loud sound icon, then climb over the green boxes, go up the same stairs that guard was heading up, then you only have two guys to deal with - kill them or wait for them to look away, zip to the next closest dow-stair way straight ahead, and the single guard and entrance to the winch room will be at the bottom of those stairs. You can avoid circumnavigating the map to get there this way.

I am having trouble with this. I have watched 3 videos now, I use subtitles and play on cadet, it just is not happening for me. I must have tried 10 different times from mission start not to mention countless checkpoint reloads.the worst of it is, once you get to the end and realize you have not got it its a new checkpoint so you have to start the mission all over again. I know I will get it its just annoying me. I only need to do story on sniper elite and all the co-op achievements and this one so its not like I don't know how to play the damn game. If anybody wants to do it on co-op with me just so I can get it done I would be most grateful. I will just be your shadow and you can do the graft. if anybody takes pity on me message me so I can scratch this off.

I finally did it after countless attempts. the only real advice I can give is if you hear them speak at all and see subtitles just restart (not including the exchange between the first two guards of course). and the 4th guy on the balcony above where you start I waited for him to walk past me instead of looking around the corner like they do in the video, all my other attempts I looked around the corner and didn't get the achievement so I think that was what was tripping me up. also I didn't kill the last guard by the stairs you go down at the end before you snipe the main target.
good luck guys. now for sniper elite difficulty, using the cadet to last checkpoint-then back out to dashboard as I start sniper elite-then carry on from last checkpoint-glitch.

Easiest way I found to get this was to go to the left. Snipe the guy at the bottom of the stairs when the loud sound is happening. Climb to the top of the step he was going up and throw a rock in the corner. Two guards will come over for easy kills. Don't pop out yet, but watch the guy on the far side. Once he turns to go back around the building, sneak past him down the stairs to kill the last one coming out of the Winch room.

The entrance to the building is relatively straightforward. If you get spotted there, just allow yourself to die and re-start.

The real challenge is the rooftop. However, there is a very simple method. At the starting checkpoint to the rooftop, grab ammo and then run out the door and to the left. Hop over the crates and take out the guard going up the steps before he gets up to the top of the steps. Remember, you can either try and get in close with your Welrod or wait for noise and use your sniper rifle.

Once that guard is taken out, go to the top of the steps. Crouch behind the wall at the top of the stairwell, out of sight. There are still 3 guards that patrol this corner - two of them walk together, and the third is by himself (and has a very long patrol route, taking him to the other side of the tower). When the two guards are nearby and the third is walking away, throw a rock toward the center of the tower. You may have to throw a few due to the timing being difficult with all the noise that's going on. The key is to get these two guards to go looking for you on the inside of that large storage container, which will block their sightline to you as you run by. Once they go looking for you and are around the corner, walk to the next stairwell (the third guard should still be out patrolling, likely on the opposite side of the tower by now). There will be a guard at the bottom of this stairwell, so get your Welrod out and prep for a quick headshot.

Once you headshot that guard, you are home free.

Definitely not as hard as I was initially thinking it would be - there are 10+ guards on this rooftop, with lots of overlapping patrol routes, so it is extremely difficult to take each of them out. With this method you only need to kill two, and the two that you kill are well out of sight of any of the other guards.

Good luck.

Make it through the tower to the winch room without being spotted
Mission 6, Tiergaten Flak Tower

At the start of this mission you make your way through a building and a courtyard, and then start to approach the Tiergatem Flak Tower, once you go up the stairs and obtain your next objective this is where the achievement starts from.
If you cannot sneak up and preform a stelth kill try to use the silenced Welrod pistol to take out any enemies you come across.
Note: In the first loading area room I came across 4 guards on this playthrough, on previous playthroughs I only had 3. so be on the look out for 3 or 4 guards. Once through the loading area go up the stairs and along the corridor, and note that a guard will approach from the right hand side, kill him, and then go left, take cover behind the crate and either stealth kill or shoot the enemy that comes from the room on the left hand side, continue on, and go up the staircase until you see an open door with a guard in the corridor, kill the guard with the Welrod from within the staircase and then exit the staircase and turn left, move quietly past the radio room full of guards and make your way up the stairs, this is where the second checkpoint is, exit the door to the right, and then make your way up the nearest stairs, wait at the top for the guard to approach and either kill him or wait for him to turn around and go back the way he came, then make your way to the stairs, becarefull here as sometimes the guard may be close, if he's not then go down the stairs and either stealth kill or shoot him with the welrod, make your way up the stairs and wait for a moment to take out the approaching guard, be carefull here as sometimes a second guard will approach, if he does take him out, once these guards are taken care of make your way down the stairs, stealth kill or shoot the guard and enter the winchroom, go down the stairs towards the marker, if you've followed this guide and video then the acheivement / trophy will unlock

Reload if you're seen.
The tower flak room has two checkpoints, one at the begining as you enter the tower and then again as you reach the top stairs.

I hope you are ready for a hair-puller. What I believe is the hardest trophy in the game MUST be obtained in this level. Let me start off with some good news...you can always reload checkpoint if you get caught!

You are required to ascend a tower and never be seen or enter any conflict. You can blast away all you want at the beginning of the level. Once you make it to the tower (you know you will because there is a huge staircase to it) enter the front door and you get a checkpoint. From this point on, you must NOT alert enemies to you. You need to sneak and Welrod pistol your way to the vantage point. Here is the video I used so you can study up on a good strategy on how to get through this (all credit goes to RecklessCon):

This is a chapter specific trophy that can only be earned in Chapter 7 (Tiergarten Flak Tower). This trophy consists of you remaining stealthy through a portion of this mission. You can kill enemies, and a soldier going into a suspicious state is fine as long as you kill him before he alerts the others. If the alarm is raised, just restart the checkpoint. Please use this excellent walkthrough:

the main thing is not to raise the alarm between checkpoints; if they raise it, we overload the checkpoint and then quietly move on

If you killed the enemy with 2 or more shots, but the alarm was not raised, reboot anyway.

I don't agree with fedor. killed with 2 or more shots. The main thing is that they don’t see you. shoot quickly if you didn't kill on the first hit.
