This guide covers challenges for Part 261 in Hitman World of Assassination, focusing on the 'Lighten Up' and 'King of the Crop' challenges, as well as the Colorado Challenge Run.

Lighten Up [4,000 XP]

To complete this challenge, you must kill three Targets by burning them. The easiest method involves activating the Scarecrow Disguise's special power by shooting four bells. The Sieger 300 Ghost sniper rifle is recommended for this, brought into the Southern Farm Perimeter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Planning: Bring a Briefcase with the TAC-4 S/A and start at the Water Tower.
  2. 2
    Initial Takedowns: Use the TAC-4 to snipe the two Guards below, then drop the rifle.
  3. 3
    Disguise Acquisition: Take a Guard's disguise, retrieve the Briefcase from the Pickup, and return to the rooftop. Place the Sieger 300 Ghost here.
  4. 4
    Scarecrow Power Activation: Obtain the Perimeter Gate Key and the Scarecrow Disguise. Go back to the Tower and shoot the four bells to activate the Scarecrow's power.
  5. 5
    First Targets: Drop the Sieger 300 Ghost, pick up the TAC-4 S/A. Use Instinct to locate two Spec Ops personnel. Wait for one to be in the open bay door, then descend the tower and burn both.
  6. 6
    Luring Guards: Run to the Restroom window and wait. The two patrolling Guards will investigate the bodies. Close enough to kill them from the window, then retreat.
  7. 7
    Penelope and Guards: Wait for Penelope and her Guards. As they approach the bodies, go around the Tower to be seen. Once Compromised, run to them and burn them. Retreat into the Restroom, out the window, and into the Container. Be aware that several people will become 'orange' (hostile) and fire upon you.
  8. 8
    Clearing Hostiles: Once things calm down, carefully move around the Orchard area, burning or sniping any 'orange' individuals with the TAC-4.
  9. 9
    Perimeter Sweep: Enter the Perimeter and proceed counterclockwise, burning all Guards until you reach the East Entrance.
  10. 10
    Maya Target: Enter the Compound and stay near the Break Room. Wait for Sean to be at the Farm House before going after Maya. When Maya nears the Taco Van, move west along the building. Get close enough to the Guards to be seen, then run north to burn Maya and anyone nearby.
  11. 11
    East Entrance Evasion: Exit via the East Entrance and hug the wall. Any pursuers will be eliminated.
  12. 12
    Compound Sweep: Carefully navigate the Compound, burning any 'orange' individuals to return to normal.
  13. 13
    Sean Target: Enter the North Orchard. Wait for Sean to go to Demolitions Control. Get close enough to him and his Guards to be seen, then run up and burn them. Finally, move around and burn any remaining individuals until the challenge is complete.

King of the Crop [8,000 XP]

This challenge requires completing the following: 'Birth Of The Scarecrow', 'Lighten Up', 'Taste Of Your Own Medicine', and 'They Scream, They Cry'. Completing this challenge should also award the TAC-4 S/A Jungle Assault Rifle.

E. The Colorado Challenge Run

This is a full Silent Assassin run using basic starting items to complete as many Challenges as possible, including [Chameleon]. You will start at the Southern Farm Perimeter in Tactical Gear.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Krugermeier 2.0 silenced pistol.
  • Phone (replacing Fiber Wire).
  • Sieger 300 Ghost sniper rifle placed in the Southeast Small Shed.

This run includes the [Wicker Man], [No Birds Here], and [Gunslinger] Challenges. To perform these safely, you must subdue and hide many NPCs. Knocking out all nine Civilians (five Hackers and four Targets) and Guards is necessary to clear a safe path for using Scarecrow Crosses and clearing the Shooting Range for [Gunslinger].

Subduing NPCs:

  • Luring NPCs to a Weapons Box for ambushing is effective.
  • Use an object to lure a Guard to take a weapon to the correct box for safe ambushing.
  • The special power of the Scarecrow Disguise does not affect subdued people, so Silent Assassin is not lost unless you get near conscious NPCs.

Recommended Weapons & Objects:

  • Assault Rifle or the plain Bartoli Pistol.
  • Crowbar or Wrench for tossing objects.

Targets & Mission Stories:

  • This run will utilize the [Oh Burn!], [Bouncing Betty], [Just Pointless], and [Wild Rose] Challenges.
  • There are six Mission Stories, all of which can be completed in one non-timed run.

Starting the Run:

  1. Start in the Shed and proceed to the Junkyard.
  2. Go to the Generator but wait. Listen to a nearby conversation to start the [Tongue Tied] Mission Story.
  3. Look north to find a patrolling Guard.
