Unexpected Guest
Disguise yourself as Mr. Norfolk and assassinate Kalvin Ritter.
This can be done in the mission “Freeform Training”.

Step 1: Pick up the rat poison on deck 00
Step 2: Put poison in the wine glass by the bar on deck 01 and let Norfolk drink it (the guy in white suit)
Step 3: Now Norfolk gets sick and goes to the toilet. Follow him and assassinate him, then put on his disguise.
Step 4: Go to deck 02 and talk to the target. Follow him to his office. Here you will be alone with him and can assassinate him from behind.

Defection Deterred
Arrange matters so that the KGB colonel kills Jasper Knight.
This can be done in the mission “The Final Test”.

Step 1: Get the projector slides from the lower floor in the main entrance area (on a desk where two guards are talking).
Step 2: Put the slides in the projector upstairs.
Step 3: Wait by the projector until the target arrives with the colonel. When the target is about to enter the room you turn off the power outside the projector room (on the balcony).
Step 4: If timed correctly the colonel will put the power back on and kill the target.

K-36D
Assassinate Jasper Knight with a sabotaged ejector seat.
This can be done in the mission “The Final Test”.

Step 1: Disguise yourself as a mechanic.
Step 2: Sabotage the Ejector Seat of the fighter jet (requires a wrench which you can find near the jet).
Step 3: Read the “Exit Strategy” paper (it’s by the fighter jet).
Step 4: Speak to the target and let him follow you to the jet. Now interact with the exit strategy paper again and give him instructions how to use the ejector seat. Then he will fly away on the seat and you can safely exit the area.

Silent Assassin
Complete The Final Test unspotted. Kill only Jasper Knight, ensuring his body is not found.
+ Security Defeated
Arrange matters so that a guard finds a discarded weapon and moves it into the hangar.

This can be done in the mission “The Final Test”. You can easily combine both trophies.

Step 1: From the start sneak through the area on the left side and you will see a pipe at the end of the building.
Step 2: Wait until the two mechanics pass by the pipe or else they will see you. Climb the pipe as soon as they walk into the building. Enter the room on the upper floor through the window.
Step 3: Place your pistol on the floor by the door (press triangle / Y in the inventory to drop it). This unlocks the Security defeated trophy and will distract the guard.
Step 4: Now the guard goes away with the weapon and the target will be alone in the room with you. Take him out and hide the body in the bathroom box.
Step 5: Go back the way you came, throw coin to distract the guard underneath the pipe.

The Showstopper
Assassinate Viktor Novikov in a light rig accident.

This can be done in the mission “The Showstopper”.
Basically all you have to do is track the “Lights Out” opportunity and complete it.

Step 1: Get a Disguise (Security Guard works)
Step 2: Read the stage plan (found behind the fashion stage).
Step 3: Go to the room where the models are being prepared for the stage. Wait for Sebastian Sato (the fashion designer) to arrive. Then insert a coin into the music box behind him.
Step 4: The music will make him walk away. After he drinks from the wine glass he will walk behind a wall where you can take him out without being seen (save game when he starts walking in case you mess up).
Step 5: Now go to the top floor, pick up a crowbar and climb the light rig above the stage. When Viktor Novikov comes on the stage you use the crowbar to drop the lights on him (he takes a few minutes to arrive).

Meeting the Reaper
Become Tobias Reaper.

This can be done in the mission “The Showstopper”.

Step 1: Start out at the main entrance with your normal suit (don’t put on a disguise).
Step 2: Go to the back of the palace where the helicopter is. There is a pipe on the wall that you can climb to the upper floor where the secret auction takes place.
Step 3: Enter the auction room and sit down in the chair. Now just stay there until Dalia talks to you and the trophy unlocks.

City of Light
Reach Paris Mastery Level 20.
For this you will need to do a little more than half the challenges on the Paris map. You do NOT need to complete all avaialble challenges (level 20 is reached way before that). I had only done 12/24 assassination challenges by the time I got this trophy. So you can pick the ones you like best.

The hardest challenge by far is “Silent Assassin, Suit Only”. This will complete several challenges at once and gives you a few level ups. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Unequip your firearm before the mission starts
Step 2: Get the IAGO Invitation
Step 3: Go to bathroom on top floor and take out the guard by turning on music (subdue, don’t kill)
Step 4: Wait 2 minutes in bathroom for Dalia. When she enters the other room throw coin and kill her.
Step 5: Return downstairs and turn on fire alarm by the main entrance. Timing is very important – do it when Viktor is standing still in room with the models (to the left of the stage).
Step 6: Quickly run to the cellar on the lower floor. Viktor & his bodyguard will go to the safe room. Take them out on their way there (or when they return from the safe room). Take out whoever is walking behind (which is a bit random). If the bodyguard is walking behind you take him out first and take out Viktor when he returns alone from the safe room. If Viktor walks behind you can take him out right away. The bodyguard will notice he is gone but if he doesn’t see the body all is good.

Also keep in mind you must hide all bodies, not get spotted and only kill the targets (you can subdue / knock out other people but have to hide their bodies).

Let No Joyful Voice be Heard
Awaken the Kraken!
This trophy / achievement unlocks upon completing the discovery challenge “Unleash the Kraken”.
You need a sniper rifle for this. There is a ship with 2 masts and white sails on the water (to the right of the ruins). There are also 4 bells on this ship. Hitting all 4 bells with the Sniper in the right order summons a Kraken to destroy the ship.
The bells are very hard to see and also hard to hit.

You must shoot them in this order: Left – Right – Middle – Deck of the ship (below the masts). If you run out of ammo you need to restart the map. Get up close to your screen to see them. They are very tiny.

The Sapienza Trinity
Eliminate Silvio during therapy, down his plane with a cannon and shoot him through the telescope.
For this trophy / achievement you must do 3 playthroughs. One for each type of kill. You should complete the mission after doing these kills, just to make sure the game saves them properly.

#1 – Eliminate Silvio during Therapy (0:05):
This is the easiest one. Just track & complete the opportunity “Catharis”. You will have to get the diguise of the psychiatrist, let the buttler bring you to Silvio’s room. When Silvio is on the couch you suffocate him with a pillow.

#2 – Shoot down Silvio’s Plane with a Cannon while he tries to escape (5:50):
This is the hardest one. Start out as a gardener (Undercover in Mansion Garden). Wait for Silvio to leave the golf course and enter the observatorium. Then trigger the fire alarm. Follow the guards downstairs into the lab area. Cause some carnage (throw explosives / shoot silvio or one of his guards) to make him escape in his seaplane. Now you have very limited time to get to the ruins and load up the cannon by the stairs. If possible make a save game here (if enemies are on alert you can’t save). When the timer hits 10 seconds you fire the cannon. It will destroy the plane mid-air.

#3 – Shoot Silvio through the Telescope (10:03):
You need a sniper rifle for this. Quickest way is to start out as a scientist (Undercover in Field Lab). Select the Lab agency pickup for the sniper rifle. When the mission starts go take out a guard and get their uniform. Now grab the sniper rifle and run to the church tower on the other end of the map (church by the morgue). From the church tower shoot the electric panel near the observatorium room. This will open the observatorium’s roof. Now Silvio comes to look through the telescope (you can actually see his eye through the lens when aiming at it with the sniper). Shoot him from the church tower while he looks through the telescope.

Sapienza Escalated
Complete Level 5 of an Escalation Contract set in Sapienza.
For this trophy I show you the Escalation contract called “The Sigma Illusion” (level 5). This guide also works for escalation levels 1-4.

Objectives:
1) Eliminate Chef Marcello Ray in melee (e.g. use kitchen knife to slit his throat)
2) Hack the laptop in the mansion (located on the top floor of the main building in the middle of the map)
3) No Pacifications (don’t harm anyone other than the Chef)
4) Hide all Bodies within 90 seconds (put the Chef’s corpse in the crate of the kitchen)
5) Complication: Mansion guards see through their own disguises (get staff disguise from room below kitchen, then let the guy in the mansion frisk you to get upstairs unnoticed)

Steps: Kill chef with knife, put his body in crate, get staff disguise from room below kitchen, let the guy in mansion frisk you, climb up to the attic/rooftop, hack laptop when the scientist leaves the room, go back the way you came and leave the area.

It doesn’t matter if the guards notice you or not. Just stick to the route and run away from them. Make sure you drop all weapons before the guy at the stairs frisks you. The best starting point is in the kitchen.

Amalfi Pearl
Reach Sapienza Mastery Level 20.
For this you will need to do a little more than half the challenges on the Sapienza map. You do NOT need to complete all avaialble challenges (level 20 is reached way before that). I had only done half the assassination challenges by the time I got this trophy. So you can pick the ones you like best.

The hardest challenge by far is “Silent Assassin, Suit Only”. This will complete several challenges at once and gives you a few level ups. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Get the Biolab Laptop Dongle from the Scientist in the church (simply track opportunity ‘Absolution’). Let her confess in the church and then wait for her in the morgue. Pick up the dongle after knocking her out.
Step 2: Get into the mansion area over the rooftops. Make your way through the kitchen and into the observatory (beware of security cameras).
Step 3: Get VHS tape from the observatory and put it in the player downstairs to lure Silvio (simply track opportunity ‘Memory Lane’). When he arrives, wait for him to send the guards away. Then take him out and hide his body in a crate.
Step 4: Go upstairs and over the rooftops to reach Francesca, your target person. While she is in the room with the laptop kill her when the guard walks to the other side of the room. Put her body in the crate behind the laptop.
Step 5: Backtrack to the observatory and go downstairs into the lab. There’s a laptop on the roof of a building at the start of the lab. Activate it with the Biolab Laptop Dongle (that you got in step 1) to destroy the virus immediately. Now rush to the sea plane to exit the area. Don’t take too long or the area gets crowded with guards.

You are also allowed to make manual saves in between and reload them in case something goes wrong.

Also keep in mind you must hide all bodies, not get spotted and only kill the targets (you can subdue / knock out other people but have to hide their bodies).

Unfortunate Fortune 
Demonstrate generosity.
This is very easy and quick. From the default starting point you need to head left. There’s a path that leads to the market square. Take another left at the market square and you will come to an alley with some soldiers and military vehicles. Inside an abandoned shop are 5 coins on the counter. Sneak past the soldiers and grab the coins from the shop. Then make your way back to the starting point. To the right of the starting point (opposite direction where you just went) is a beggar sitting on the ground. He has a little plate on the floor where people can put some money. Throw five coins in it and the challenge is complete.

 .50 Personal Touch 
Assassinate Zaydan, as the prisoner, Strandberg during his massage, and both with the APC turret.

Part 1 (Assassinate Zaydan as the Prisoner): For this you must complete the “Bad Blood” opportunity. You can track its objectives in the opportunities overview.

Part 2 (Assassinate Strandberg during his Massage): For this you must complete the “Golden Touch” opportunity. You can track its objectives in the opportunities overview.

Part 3 (Eliminate both with the APC Turret): Go to the underground parking garage area. Get a soldier diguise, then activate the alarm. Now run into the tunnels. In the tunnel area there are APC Turret Schematics you can pick up. Get them, then go to the APC turret near Zaydan (where the guards are training and doing pushups). Wait 4-5 minutes for both targets to arrive at the training yard. Then use the APC Turret’s console to make it shoot at the targets.

Ancient Marrakesh 
Reach Marrakesh Mastery Level 20.

Step 1: Get the keycard from the underground parking garage (restricted area with miliatry). The keycard is on a military crate near lots of guards. Throw a coin to distract the guards, then grab it and open the keycard door at the other end of the garage.
Step 2: After the keycard door go upstairs and kill Claus Hugo Strandberg (mission target). You have to get here very fast to find him in a good spot! If you were to slow he will not be in the place shown in the video. In that case restart the mission and try to be quicker. Do exactly what is done in the video as quickly as possible.
Step 3: Now you can take your time. Go back through the parking garage and make your way to the second assassination target (Reza Zaydan). If you head back to the starting point you can go to the rooftop of a building and climb to the restricted area. Once here, break open the locked doors with a crowbar or use the key (found on rooftop near starting area).
Step 4: Turn on the school intercom on the ground floor (near two guards that are sitting on chairs and talking to each other). This will lure the target to the restroom above. Climb up through the broken ceiling. When he enters the room, take him out. Make sure the guard in the corridor isn’t looking your way! Best if you make a manual save game before activating the school intercom.
Step 5: Drag Zaydan’s dead body away from the door (you don’t have to hide him, just get him away from the restroom door). Then go back the way you came. If you climb up the pipe to the rooftop there may be a guard nearby. He usually notices something, but does not investigate the area. You should make another manual save just to be sure. You could also take him out and drag him away. After going up the pipe simply go to the mission exit and you’re done.

The only hard part is to get to the first target (Claus Hugo) quick enough. If you are too slow he may have moved on to a heavily guarded area.
You are also allowed to make manual saves in between and reload them in case something goes wrong.

Also keep in mind you must not get spotted and only kill the targets (you can subdue / knock out other people).

Completing this challenge gives you a ton of points towards Marrakesh Mastery Level 20. Reaching level 20 unlocks the “Ancient Marrakesh” trophy / achievement.

Elephants Never Forget 
Poach Ivory.

In preparation you should pick lethal poison (which can be unlocked by leveling up other maps) and the remote explosive.

You are allowed to make manual saves and reload them in case something goes wrong.
Completing this challenge gives you a ton of points towards Bangkok Mastery Level 20. Reaching level 20 unlocks the “One Night in Bangkok” trophy / achievement.

Please note that it will show “body found” when you kill Ken Morgan with lethal poison (he will drop dead in the restaurant). This does NOT void the silent assassin suit only challenge. When I shoot guards in the knee and knock them out my status shows “compromised” or “crime noticed”. This doesn’t void the challenge either. Whoever you attack just can’t alert any other guards. Just make sure you knock them out fast enough.

Drop the Bass 
Eliminate both Morgan and Cross in a fall accident and both by dropping a coconut on their heads.

The required kills are all tied to opportunities.
Opportunities are unlocked from the start and will guide you through the level with waypoints. The video points out what opportunity you must complete. Doing so will lead to the point in the video.

Part 1: Jordan Cross Fall Accident
Complete opportunity “Man Machine”. You will go to the rooftop with him. Let him talk until he leans over the railing and give him a push.

Part 2: Ken Morgan Fall Accident
Complete opportunity “On the House”. After completing the opportunity stay in the penthouse with morgan. He will walk around and after two quick stops he will go to the balcony. Give him a push while his bodyguard waits around the corner.

Part 3: Kill both by dropping a Coconut on their head
Complete opportunity “Bugman”. As soon as the opportunity is complete both targets should be in the atrium at the same time. Pollute the ventilation to knock everyone out. Now you can drag both targets under a palm tree. Shoot the coconuts in the tree and they will fall down onto the sleeping targets. This will kill both simultaneously. While draggin the bodies you are probably gonna get attacked by guards. Be cautious and shoot the guards when they arrive.

Doing all of this will also complete 3 Assassination Challenges: You’rse So Fly, I Believe I can Fly, Nutracker.

One Night in Bangkok 
Reach Bangkok Mastery Level 20.

This trophy / achievement unlocks upon completing the feat “I Will Cry if I Want To”. It’s a little easter egg in which you must shoot 18 golden elephant statues in the penthouse. The elephant statues are rather small and stand on shelves.
Whenever you shoot one you will hear an elephant’s roar. Their locations are:
– 8 in left library
– 2 in office (left side)
– 5 in right library
– 3 upstairs on shelf in one of the rooms

The silver elephants aren’t needed, only the golden ones count.

After you’ve destroyed all of them you must leave the building. Walk down the stairs and back to the starting point, then the challenge and trophy / achievement will unlock. If you die before leaving the building it won’t unlock.
When you go straight to the penthouse there will be many people in it. They are likely to spot you at some point. If you want your peace and quit just do the opportunity “On The House” and all the guards will be gone (makes it easier, but this isn’t necessary).

Special thanks to PSN User “GTAJJ” for sending in tips about this trophy!
