Hitman 3 Chongqing (China) All Challenges Guide

This guide shows how to complete all Challenges (Mastery Level 20) in Hitman 3 Chongqing, China. The mission is called End of an Era and contains 84 Challenges.

Reaching Mastery Level 20 in Chongqing unlocks the Hack the Planet trophy or achievement. Around 85% of Challenges are needed to reach Level 20 Mastery so you can skip a few.

Challenges are only available while playing online. Completing Challenges will increase your Mastery Level on this map which grants new gear and starting locations. The unlocked gear can then be used across all maps. You can save time by making a Manual Save before important points (e.g. before defeating a target). Do one Challenge, reload, do the next Challenges, then finish the mission. It will update your Progress with all Challenges you have completed including those from reloads.

Assassinations (15)

1. Hold My Hair: You can do this against Hush on Floor 05. Equip Emetic Syringe in your loadout before the mission (unlocked from Chongqing Mastery Level 5). Wait for Hush to walk over to the computer desk, then his bodyguard will follow > take out the bodyguard > throw a coin to distract Hush > hide the bodyguard’s body in the room behind > and inject Hush with the Emetic Syringe. Then he goes to the toilet on the same floor and you can drown him in the toilet bowl. Alternatively, you can do this against Royce: get rid of all persons on Floor -2 between Royce’s Office and the Bathroom in the lower left corner. Otherwise, they will tend to your distractions. When they are all gone, you can play fetch with her and lead her down towards the toilets. If you are close, inject her with the emetic syringe (unlocked from Chongqing Mastery Level 5).
2. Versatile Assassin: Finish “Piano Man”, “Someone Could Hurt Themselves”, “Hold My Hair”, “Straight Shot”, “Tasteless, Traceless”.
3. Tasteless, Traceless: Following the Certainty Principle Mission and continuing with Royce will eventually lead to her office, without any guards inside. Use the feature to frost the glass and inject her with a lethal syringe.
4. Straight Shot: Shoot one of the targets in the head with any weapon.
5. Piano Man: Equip Fiber Wire in your loadout, approach a target from behind and take them out with it.
6. Someone Could Hurt Themselves: Automatic from Challenge Medium Rare.
7. Stick It to the Man: Simply choke out Hush from behind while disguised as a Homeless Person. The homeless are found on the street level (Floor 00) at the end of the road (behind the Arcade building), take out one of them for their disguise.
8. Venting Some Stress: Bring some lethal poison to the level and head to the ICA Facility’s Break Room (Floor -2). Use the Camera to frost the glass and turn on the Air Condition outside of the room. Subdue the staff member and hide her in the room nearby. Repeat once more to have the second person leave the room as well and optionally take his disguise. Now, head to the Analysis Area on the same floor and use the camera to shut down the three PCs of “your colleagues”. They have a small panel at their very top, looking like the other one’s you can trigger with your camera. Now, they will take a forced break and go into the Break Room. When Royce goes on her routine, she will see them missing and head for the Break Room herself, telling them to go back working. Once they have left, she will take a seat herself to take some time off. Now, poison the AC Unit next door and turn it back on to kill her with a lethal cloud of poison.
9. Deprivation: The device in the Therapy Room (Floor 5, Door Code 2552) has a missing fuse, which can be picked up two floors below in the same building. It will be in plain sight when going down, but is behind a chain-link-fence, so you need to walk around a little bit. Once it is entered, Hush will sit down in the chair, the next time he checks the maintenance progress. When he sits down, shoot him or throw a lethal object at him. Alternatively, you can simply drag Hush’s unconscious body onto the chair and then shoot him. The chair should start greeting Mr. Hush when you drag his body close enough.
   
10. Mnemonic: Following the Impulse Control Mission Story, you will sit opposite of Hush and take a test. When the experiment is halted and he is on a short break, you want to get rid of the research assistant who was behind the computer-screens, as she is the one who slows down the progress. When the experiment continues, the other assistant will be more progressive and Hush will be overloaded and dies on the spot.
11. Big Bada Boom: Follow the China Sniper Assassin Walkthrough to the end, where our two targets meet on the Lotus Passage. Instead of shooting them, shoot the large gas-bottle next to them to blow them up at once.
12. A Shock to the System: Easiest method is to knock out Imogen Royce. Then drag her unconscious body to the Break Room (Floor -02, inside ICA Facility). There’s a water tank there and a socket under it. Put Royce’s body there, shoot the water tank to create a leak, then shoot the socket to electrocute Royce.
13. Cooling Down: Get rid of the guards following Royce, put on their disguise and follow her until she heads into the Core again. Once she leans at the railing, push her down to fulfill this Challenge.
14. Bullet Points: Finish storyline All-Seeing Eyes. This story makes you go to a Sniping spot and both targets meet up at the end. When Royce walks behind Hush shoot both of them with 1 bullet.
15. Medium Rare: Finish storyline Certainty Principle. At the end Royce will lead you to a room with a computer terminal where you can fire 3 employees. Fire “Alicia Reynolds” (top right) > quickly fire “Jeremy Bolt” (bottom left, security guard). Jeremy will leave his post so Alicia can freely enter the core. Then Alicia will flip the switch that deactivates the security mechanism. As soon as Royce enters the core (bottom right computer screen), you must immediately fire “Sharon Reed”. She will flip a switch to cleanse the core. Because Alicia disabled the security mechanism it will result in Royce being burned alive in the core. Also counts as an accident kill.
