Complete the full single-player campaign.

Complete all missions on Realistic difficulty. However, playing on Perfectionist is recommended, as the difference is minimal.

Complete every single player mission on Perfectionist difficulty. It’s highly recommended to combine this with the No Kill Option Engaged and Tactical Style: Ghost achievements, which means relying on stealth knockouts and avoiding enemy encounters whenever possible.

Key restrictions to keep in mind:

• No ammo restocks or gear customization.
  
• Mark and Execute is disabled.
  
• Enemies are tougher and more alert.
  
• The detection meter fills up more quickly.
  
• Sonar goggles won’t allow you to see through walls.

Tips for success:

• Stay in cover at all times.
  
• Prioritize unlocking the crossbow early and invest in sleeping gas.
  
• Darkness is your ally—shoot out lights to remain hidden, and take out security cameras when possible.
  
• Upgrade the Paladin first (especially the radar part), then focus on your suit to maximize stealth efficiency.

Fully upgrade your headquarters. It is best advised to upgrade this first before anything else. To do this, speak to Grim on the plane. There are 2 upgrades to buy: Level 1 and Level 2.

Master Ghost playstyle on 7 missions. If you were playing on Perfectionist and going for the No Kill Option Engaged trophy, you should have gained this in step 1 of the roadmap. To maximize your points try to evade guards. Though you can gain points for stealth knockouts as well. Note: When launching the mission, you can check how many points you need and what level you need it to do on. Most of the time it will be normal difficulty.

Master Panther playstyle on 7 missions. If you want to clear this up quickly do Kobin's 4E Co-op missions and just go for silent kills if you are short get detected as more enemies will spawn. Then just do either Grim's missions or short campaign missions. To maximize your points on the campaign, the best way is to evade guards. Again, you'll have to play on normal difficulty.

Master Assault playstyle on 7 missions. If you're the sort of person who likes to go all out guns blazing, then this should come as no problem. Try to get Combat knockouts/kills while trying to make a chain 1 after the other in order to maximize your points. Again, you'll have to play on normal difficulty.

Hide 5 bodies in containers. This can be gained as early as mission 1 from the start.

Complete the single player campaign without killing anyone as Sam Fisher. You have to take down guards stealthily using sleeping gas, crossbow darts, stun gun, and non-lethal takedowns. Try to observe enemy movement. If you mess up you can go back via chapter select or restart via the checkpoint.

Call an enemy over, then take them down undetected when they investigate. Go into cover, then to call an enemy over, then take him down lethally or non-lethally. This can be achieved as early as mission 1.

Disable a security device using the Tri-Rotor. This can be achieved in Special Missions: HQ from the start.

Using Mark & Execute, take down 6 enemies in under 14 seconds.

Take down a Shielded Infantryman hand to hand and take his shield.

Save the hostages in the Transit Yards. It's best to make sure you keep your sleeping gas available. It's also best advised to do this on rookie difficulty. When you reach the part where you break the window, take down the two guys on the left, then go through the doors behind you. Once through the two doors, select sleeping gas on your weapon cycle, then throw it in the middle of the enemies. This should knock them all out.

Complete a single player mission without being detected during gameplay. If you're going for No Kill Option Engaged this should come without even trying. Though if you get detected (red arrow), simply restart the checkpoint. The trophy will pop once the mission is complete.

Complete all 4th Echelon Missions from Anna Grímsdóttir. You can either talk to Grim on the plane or launch the missions from the SMI (Strategic Mission Interface). These can be done solo, by stealth or silent kills if you get seen or spotted Grim will abort the mission.

Complete all 4th Echelon Missions from Charlie Cole. You can either talk to Charlie on the plane or launch them from the SMI (Strategic Mission Interface). These are wave-type survival missions. You will need to complete 5 while going for an HVT (High-Value Target) in order for it to be complete once your HVT (High-Value Target) is secure you will then have to option to stay & fight/carry on. Do it on Rookie difficulty.

Complete all 4th Echelon Missions from Andriy Kobin. This can be done Solo/split screen/online. However, It is advised that you do it solo. Kobin's missions are zone type missions where you have to clear one zone in order to advance to the next zone. In total, there are two zones for you to complete. If you are detected, more enemies will appear. Therefore, it is advised to go for silent kills, or stealth kills + knockouts.
