If a particular challenge has you stuck, working through each section methodically will make the difference. Let's break down the more difficult ones to help you get through without frustration.
Lock, Stock, and 1 Trapped Hostile
Right at the prison escape sequence, speed is your ally. Grab a hostile enemy, throw them into one of the holding cells, and hit the lock button beside the cell quickly. If timed correctly, you'll lock down the enemy promptly, ticking off this challenge early on.
The Great Escape
The first real stealth gauntlet demands careful navigation through Null Space without detection. With no gadgets or Q-Scan, every shadow and guard patrol matters. Patience and timing especially come into play here to slip past enemies unseen.
Start by entering the open door on your left.
Vault over the broken window in this room and make your way into the ventilation shaft.
Wait until the guard’s back is turned, then execute a silent takedown.
Proceed through the hallway door, head left, and take down the next guard stealthily.
Exit through the final door to complete this undetected run and secure the challenge.
All Smoke and Mirrors
This challenge smoothly continues the stealth flow, tasking you with releasing a smoke screen from the rafters in the Security Offices. It’s crucial to take down enemies quietly before reaching the controls.
At the checkpoint’s start, move left right away.
Perform a stealth takedown on the guard inside.
Climb the ladder to enter the rafters overlooking the office.
Find and activate the release valve to unleash smoke across the room, completing the challenge.
Apex Predator
Once smoke covers the Security Offices, enemies lose sight of you, making multiple stealth takedowns straightforward. Your challenge here is locating all targets quickly despite the reduced visibility.
Reduce Your Screen Time
The Operations Room is flooded with monitors. Simply shooting down 50 of these screens will complete this challenge. It’s a fun way to wreak some havoc without risking detection.
Untouchable
This is one of the trickier challenges — taking out snipers without getting hit. The key is a precise sequence of stealth takedowns and using the environment against enemies.
Start with a stealth takedown on the nearby guard as he approaches.
Next, lure the guard on the stairs by kicking a trolley into him for an instant kill.
Either wait for or lure the last guard close, then take him down silently.
Once you hit the next cover, snipers spot you. Quickly shoot the overhead light above the left sniper — it’ll fall and kill him. Then blow up the gas pipe near the right sniper to finish the challenge. It takes practice, but timing these environmental kills is very rewarding.
Bring a Fist to a Gun Fight
When fighting three enemies in the elevator, the game expects you to use guns, but resist the urge. Take them down with your fists alone for this challenge, ignoring the slow-motion gunfire prompts.
Be Q-uiet
Q-Lab is packed with enemies, but you’re armed with infinite gadget ammo and hacking options. The easiest strategy is to stay above in the rafters and pick off guards stealthily, avoiding noisy distractions like the jetpack hack that could reveal your position.
Technomage
Before entering Q-Lab, collect Bond’s Flash Mines from the gadget desk. These lethal mines instantly kill enemies—use them on 10 foes in stealth to clear this challenge efficiently from a safe vantage.
Astonishing
Near the mission’s vehicle segment, you’ll fire missiles at clusters of enemies. Aim carefully to eliminate three with a single explosion and claim this explosive challenge.
Fire in the Hole!
During phase one of the boss fight with Damien, sneak up close behind him to hack his jamming equipment. Holding close for about 30 seconds will deplete the device, paving the way for the next fight stage.
Turret Aficionado
In the second phase, race toward the turret and damage Damien quickly. Two minutes is more than enough, and naturally completing this during the fight will complete the challenge without extra effort.
