How to unlock the Skilled Sniper achievement in Sniper Elite V2 - Definitive Guide

This is story related and therefore unmissable. You need to proceed through the fourth mission, Opernplatz, until you reach the vantage point. A cut scene will show the start of an execution which you need to stop. Start by taking out the officer and then the two guards.

I'm finding it hard to do this, because I didn't know where to aim. It's really annoying to try and aim, and shot something that is very small or far away very quickly, if I don't know what i'm shooting at..

Edit: The Sniper Elite forum suggests restarting the MISSION if the game bugs out on you... Not had chance to try that out yet, but restarting the checkpoint doesn't seem to do anything - same bug occurs each time for me!

Jeez... Never known a story-based achievement to be so much hard work! Only way I was able to progress in end was to get through area without alerting any enemies, using the explosions as cover for my shots. The minute I got spotted, it became impossible to complete the mission!

Actually I found the bug myself and I was able to progress by restarting the checkpoint. The key here is when going for the gold, secure the plaza first, then go back for the gold before going for the vantage point.

I didn't start with the officer because it made it too hard to get the guards before they capped the hostage. I started aiming at the left most guard, hit Bullet Time, and took them out in order within that single Bullet Time instance. It was the only way I could keep the hostage guy alive.

On the extraction of the hostage, he seemed pretty durable when shooting at the attacking waves, so you do have a bit of time before the waves eventually get him.

For the section with the attacking Russians, I laid down land mines going from the outside to the big staircase, then stuck in a bunch of trip mines for good measure. The frag grenades also helped out as well.

It seems there's a bug in this level that means you can end up securing the plaza but the game doesn't recognise this meaning you're unable to progress. I'm experiencing this issue myself, and there's a separate thread here about it:

If this happens it seems the only way to resolve it is to restart the checkpoint/level.

This is a story-related trophy that cannot be missed via normal campaign progression.

You will earn this for completing Chapter 4: Opernplatz.

You start out by having to clear out a very large open area. There are a handful of snipers stashed in some sneaky hiding places, so keep your eyes open. After clearing the area, head towards the library. You will take refuge up there so you can halt the execution. Save your "target" and make sure he makes it to the library. Then you must hold off an assault by Russian forces.

Trophy will unlock at the end-mission screen.

During the 4th mission of the game you will go up in a building and a cutscene will be displayed, after which you must kill the man with the pistol in hand and then the two soldiers who are next to him.

Story Related and cannot be missed. Will unlock during ‘Opernplatz.’

This will unlock mid-mission when you snipe the executioner who is about the shoot the target.
