Introduction
So its finally here. A game that hardcore fans and casual gamers alike have been waiting for. Hitman Hd Trilogy, features 3 past Hitman games (Silent Assassin, Contracts and Bloodmoney) with a new set of achievements that can be earned through playing Silent Assassin and Contracts. This trilogy does not come with new achievements for Blood Money. You can still earn the achievements from Hitman: Blood Money, which is included in the trilogy, but has no new achievements of its own. The achievements from Blood Money can only be earned once however, so if you have already unlocked them, then you can only get the newly added 1000

The achievements for the 2 games, Silent Assassin and Contracts, are very similar to each other, so you will almost be earning the same achievements twice, but for 2 different games.

The difficulty achievements for Silent Assassin are reportedly glitchy and may or may not stack. This is entirely down to random chance and no fix is currently known. The difficulty achievements in Contracts do stack and thus only 1 playthrough is required.

Step 1: Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

You should start by playing Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, as this is the earliest of the games, so you may as well play them in order. The achievements for completing the game on the different difficulties are reportedly glitchy and they may stack, but it isn't very likely. You can choose to complete the game 3 times, once on each difficulty and the achievements will unlock, but there is a workaround. If you play through the game for the first time on professional difficulty, after completing the last mission and making your post-game save, you will be returned to the main menu. From here you should proceed to load up the post-game save that you just created and a list of all of the missions will appear. Select the final mission and complete it again and the 'Expert' difficulty achievement should unlock. Repeat this step again to unlock the 'Normal' difficulty achievement.

There are only 3 achievements that you are guaranteed to unlock just by playing through the game, which are, '1st Mission Complete', 'Normal/Expert/Professional mode complete' and '1st Kill', worth a grand total of 30. None of the achievements are missable, however, as you can use the mission select feature to choose any level you may have unlocked.

Step 2: Hitman: Contracts

After completing Silent Assassin, you can now proceed with Hitman: Contracts. The achievement list is almost identical, but for the secret achievements and some of the miscellaneous achievements. I would recommend that you start on professional difficulty, as you should now be familiar with the game mechanics. The difficulty achievements do stack, so you may as well start on professional to save yourself playing the game 3 times through, but of course this is your choice. None of the achievements are missable as you can use the mission select feature to choose any mission that you want to play again.

Step 3: Hitman: Blood Money

As previously mentioned, there are no new achievements introduced for Hitman: Blood Money, but you can earn the original 1000 that came with the original Blood Money when it was released in 2006. You cannot earn the achievements from Blood Money twice, so if you have already unlocked them, then there are no achievements for you to unlock beyond the new 1000 for Silent Assassin and Contracts. Though they are not new and thus will not be outlined within this achievement guide, i will provide a link within this step of the roadmap, for those who have yet to earn them and are interested in doing so.

Hitman: Blood Money Achievement Guide

Conclusion

A relatively easy 1000 coming from possibly the best and most anticipated HD collection yet! I would suggest that you take your time to learn each game on normal, before attempting expert or professional as this will make the higher difficulties more manageable to complete. It is always useful to have a walkthrough handy, just in case you get stuck. No achievements are missable, as you can use the mission select feature to retry any mission you have so far beaten and your new score on that mission will be recorded, so getting silent assassin rating on any mission will over write the mass murder rating you got the first time around.

  • Silent Assassin: 5 Silent Assassin ratings awarded on the Professional difficulty

    Silent Assassin is the highest rating you can receive at the end of a mission and you can earn it by being the perfect assassin. Things to consider when trying to get a silent assassin rating are how many people were killed, as only your targets should be killed. Also, how stealthily you carried yourself throughout the mission, for instance, not being caught in a disguise or a restricted area. Killing civilians and police is completely unacceptable as is killing guards and patrolling enemies. You should try to avoid all contact with people during the missions and only kill your target. You should only kill in a stealthy fashion too, shooting someone, even with a silenced weapon, will void the silent assassin rating. You should try to make kills look like an accident by exploring the possibilities of how you can kill your targets.

    You will be able to see what your score is at the end of your mission. You can have at worst, 1 'alert' OR a 'no target killed' in your performance statistics and you can still attain a silent assassin rating.

    These ''5 Silent Assassin ratings'' achievements are stackable, so getting 5 Silent Assassin ratings on professional will unlock the lower difficulty achievements, too.

    You can obtain this achievement, by replaying the first mission 5 times and getting the silent assassin rating each time, if you want to get it very easily.

  • Silent Assassin: Completed normal difficulty

      

    Story related, can't be missed.

    Simply complete the game on Normal difficulty.

    Note: The difficulty achievements may or may not stack, as they are glitchy. Whether they do or not is purely down to luck with no fix at this time.

  • Silent Assassin: Completed expert difficulty

      

    Story related, can't be missed.

    Simply complete the game on Expert difficulty.

    Note: The difficulty achievements may or may not stack, as they are glitchy. Whether they do or not is purely down to luck with no fix at this time.

  • Silent Assassin: Completed Professional difficulty

    (2)  

    Story related, can't be missed.

    The achievements for the difficulties may or may not stack. They are glitchy, but you can obtain them all in 1 full playthrough, plus completing the final mission 2 more times, by using the method outlined in step 1 of the roadmap above. This is the hardest difficulty mode and you will likely be restarting your missions frequently. Using a walkthrough will help out and should shorten your play time if you know what to do ahead of time.

    Simply complete the game on professional difficulty, to unlock this achievement.

  • Silent Assassin: All firearms collected and displayed in the Hideout

    To obtain this achievement you must find and collect all of the firearm weapons within the game. This includes all weapons that are classed as firearms, such as guns and explosives. You do not need to obtain all of the melee weapons for this achievement.

You will find a list of all weapons and their location in the following weapon specific achievement descriptions, below.

  • Contracts: 5 Silent Assassin ratings awarded on Professional difficulty

    Silent Assassin is, as with the previous game, the highest rating you can achieve within a mission. The requirements to achieve this rating, differ slightly from the previous game, but the principle is the same, be the perfect assassin. 

    To achieve the silent assassin rating, you need to complete your mission without having your cover blown and without there being any witnesses to your actions. Also, you cannot be caught on a security camera, unless you manage to acquire the tape that you have been recorded on. No-one can be injured or killed except your target, unless it was an 'accident'.

    On expert and professional difficulty, all of the previous stipulations must be followed, but there are more with it being a harder difficulty. On expert and professional, you also cannot leave any evidence behind, which is basically your suit if you change disguise and any custom weapons that you take with you must also be retrieved. Also, no bodies may be found, so anyone you kill, which should only be your target, must be hidden unless the kill was staged to look like an accident.

    These ''5 Silent Assassin ratings'' achievements are stackable, so getting 5 Silent Assassin ratings on professional will unlock the lower difficulty achievements, too.

    You can get a silent assassin rating on the same mission, 5 times and you will still get the achievement.

    The achievements for the difficulties DO stack. Completing the game on Professional will also unlock all of the other achievements below it if they are not unlocked. This is the hardest difficulty mode and you will likely be restarting your missions frequently.
