15: Skurky's Law - p. 2 | Challenges Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Take Office

General assumptions: You have to put on judge disguise and set Timothy Hawke free.

This challenge can be completed in the Courthouse stage. Its first part is obvious, because you have to get to the judge's private chambers, stun or kill him and put on his costume. Detailed description of all steps leading to obtaining judge disguise can be found in Courthouse - Get to the holding cells in judge disguise subchapter of walkthrough of the 15th game mission.

Hide judge's body and take his gavel. Return to the courtroom and place Hitman in the spot shown on the above screen. Wait until Timothy Hawke returns from the toilet and press interact key/button to set him free.

One Man Riot

General assumptions: Get glassy shiv and stealthy kill ten Hope policemen in the prison.

This challenge consists of two main parts. First, you have to obtain a glassy shiv and this can be obtained in the Courthouse stage. You have to get to the evidence room shown on the above screen, located right from the main courtroom.

Look around carefully (it would be best to use judge or court usher disguise), finding a glassy shiv at the spot shown on the above screen.

You can start completing the second part of this challenge only after getting to the Prison stage. Start eliminating Hope policemen, while remaining hidden. I recommend using Hope police officer disguise and hide in the cell or in the closet after each successful action. Remember, that you do not have to approach each policeman, because you can also throw the glassy shiv (drawback of this solution is that you have to retrieve your weapon after each kill).

So Close Yet So Far

General assumptions: This challenge is automatically unlocked after completing the Skurky's Law mission.

Judgment Day Part 1

General assumptions: You must obtain judge disguise, stun a court usher in the library and hide his body remaining undetected.

This challenge can be completed in the Courthouse stage and of course you have to start with obtaining judge disguise. As for reminder - you have to reach judge's private chambers and force him to come here (with throwable items or using computer terminal). Eliminate the judge, hide his body and put on his clothes.

Now go to the library shown on the above screen, located on the courthouse floor.

By default there are two court security guards and one court usher in the library. Wait until one of guards exits the library and start your actions. I recommend using a throwable item - it should land next to the closet (screen above).

Depending on who will come to investigate strange sounds, eliminate court security guard or court usher right away. Remember that you only have to stun the usher. Quickly hide his body, which should result in completing the challenge.

Judgment Day Part 2

General assumptions: You must obtain judge disguise, stun three court ushers in the library and hide his body remaining undetected.

This challenge is an extensive version of previous one and for obvious reasons it is more difficult to complete. Get interested only in those ushers, who are located near crates or closets, where you can hide bodies. For the beginning I suggest stunning the usher in the library.

After that it would be good to get interested in the usher in the courtroom (screen above). Unfortunately silent elimination of this person is quite difficult. Start with clearing the nearby evidence room and then throw items to distract the usher until he enters the evidence room. Stun him and hide his body.

Finally you should get interested in the usher who visits judge's chambers. It is worth noting that e stays here only if you have stopped the video playback.

Judgment Day Part 3

General assumptions: You must obtain judge disguise and kill Timothy Hawke in the toilet, using the gavel.

This challenge clearly differs from the previous two. Start with getting to judge's chambers and interacting with computer terminal to stop the video playback.

Wait until the judge comes here. Stun him and put on his clothes. Make sure to take the gavel found next to his body.

DO NOT enter the courtroom because in this case Timothy Hawke will return from the toilet. Instead of that go through the shutter and return to the courthouse from the parking lot.

Go to the women's room and enter the ventilation shaft, reaching the men's room.

Now select the gavel in your inventory and use it to murder Timothy Hawke.
