Hitman 3 Dubai (UAE) All Challenges Guide

This guide shows how to complete all Challenges in Hitman 3 Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The mission is called On Top of the World and contains 83 Challenges.

Reaching Mastery Level 20 in Dubai unlocks the Stair Master 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. Piano Man: Equip Fiber Wire in your loadout, approach a target from behind and take them out with it.
2. Versatile Assassin: Finish “Piano Man”, “Someone Could Hurt Themselves”, “Hold My Hair”, “Straight Shot”, “Tasteless, Traceless”.
3. Tasteless, Traceless: Automatic from doing “Pick Your Poison” Challenge.
4. Hold My Hair: Must give one of your targets Emetic poison (put it in a drink or use ICA Pen Syringe). Then they will get sick and go to a toilet to puke. Approach from behind and drown them in the toilet bowl. There are tons of ways to do this. Personally, I used the “ICA Pen Syring Emetic” (reward from Chongqing Level 5 Mastery), went to Penthouse Floor 05, threw some items to distract the guards near Ingram, and injected him with the syringe from behind while all guards looked away. Then he went to the toilet on Penthouse Floor 05. But there are many other methods. For example, follow the steps for Challenge “Pick Your Poison” and put rat poison in Ingram’s food instead of lethal poison. Or put some poison in his glass in the Study on Penthouse Floor 04 and wait for him to go there and drink it.
5. Straight Shot: Shoot one of the targets in the head with any weapon.
6. Someone Could Hurt Themselves: Automatic when doing Challenge “Vertical Approach“, see above (pushing a target over a ledge / railing).
7. Pick Your Poison: First you need lethal poison. The guy whose disguise you have to get in the first step of storyline Bird of Prey will drop lethal poison (Floor 01 Garden Area, Assassin in black suit with green shirt). Alternatively, get lethal poison from level 10 mastery in Berlin and equip it in your load. Now go to the Penthouse, Floor 04. The Chef will be in the kitchen on this floor. Throw a coin (some are on the kitchen counter) in the room behind the chef to lure him. Take him out and get his disguise. Now interact with the plate on the kitchen counter to prepare the food, add the lethal poison, hit the bell on the kitchen counter to signal the food is ready. Now just wait for Ingram to come and eat it. Only works with lethal poison.
8. Vertical Approach: Complete storyline (In)Security. At the end Stuyvesant sends away his bodyguard and stands close to the edge of the roof, push him from behind.
9. Angry Birdy: First you need to unlock the Explosive Golf Ball by reaching Mastery Level 10 in Dubai. It can be placed on the rooftop terrace by the golf set on Floor 04 of the Penthouse. Afterwards, follow Disturbing the Peace below, to make him play Golf and hit the explosive ball.
   
10. Black Gold Eye: Complete storyline Bird of Prey. At the end you will have a private meeting with Carl Ingram in his room. He will send away everyone in the room except his 1 bodyguard. When he stands in front of the table in the 1st room you can push him from behind onto the small golden oil rig statue on his desk. This will impale his eyes. Simply knock out his bodyguard afterward. This requires exact timing because Carl will move to the 2nd room afterward, he only stands in front of the desk with the oil rig for a few seconds. Make a manual save before this.
11. Impactful Art: Complete storyline How The Mighty Fall. At the end both targets will be in the same room with a chandelier above their heads. Knock them out (don’t kill them yet). Then drag their bodies under the chandellier. Shoot the rope of the chandelier to make it fall onto the unconscious bodies.
12. Mile High Drop: Get the Evacuation Keycard from the safe in the Security Room on Floor 03 (Safe Code: 6927). Then use the Evacuation card on the wall panels in the penthouse Floor 04 & Floor 05. This will trigger an escape sequence of your targets. They will first gather at the helipad. Then they will backtrack to the Penthouse to put on skydiving suits and jump off the roof. After they jump off, shoot their parachutes. Just follow after them until they jump off, also take out the guards. You can grab their Assault Rifles to easily shoot the parachutes in midair. – Video Walkthrough. Alternatively, you can tamper their parachutes with a kitchen knife, while they are still hanging on the wall.
13. Conserving Ammunition: Complete storyline How The Mighty Fall. At the end both targets will be in the same room. Line them up for a double-headshot when they stand together in front of the TV.
14. Steep Task: When the mission starts, rush to the top of the Penthouse (Floor 05) very quickly (use Penthouse Guard disguise). Ingram tends to walk around the balcony here and occasionally leans on the railing. Push him from behind.
15. Icarus: As soon as the level starts head straight to the art gallery on Floor 02. On the world map there’s a corridor to the right of the art gallery. This is the corridor where you need to go. There’s a panel that says “Override Safe Zone”. To use it you must first get a Crowbar (found on the rooftop on Floor 02). Then use the crowbar to pry open a fusebox (one is on Floor Level 02 in corridor between art gallery and rooftop, or alternatively on Floor 03 Control Room). Now climb up the ladder behind the “sun”, left of the panel that needs the fuse. Up that ladder you can inser the fuse in a fusebox. Climb back down and you can now interact with the “Override Safe Zone” box. Wait until Stuyvesant comes to the art gallery and when he’s close to it, override the safe zone. You should do all these steps right away as soon as the mission starts! Otherwise he might end up on other paths and not go to the art gallery for a long time. If you’ve already unlocked the “Art Installation” Starting Point you’ll spawn where you need to be and can do all steps very quickly, then just wait for your target to arrive after a few minutes.
