Get the Absolution trophy via level select if I didn’t start on Professional difficulty

achievementshitman-absolution

The last trophy I need for Hitman Absolution is the golden "Absolution" trophy, rewarded for completing the game on any Professional difficulty.

Difficulty's are divided in two groups:

  • Enhanced
    • Easy
    • Normal
  • Professional
    • Hard
    • Expert
    • Purist

I started on Normal difficulty for like 4 levels and switched to Hard because I was aware of the trophy. The trophy didn't pop after I completed the game (as expected).

My question is: Can I level select to do the missions I did on normal or do I need to start all over again?

Best Answer

Yes, you can.

According to PS3Trophies.org trophy guide & roadmap, completing levels on Hard through level select is enough, see the description for the Absolution trophy (emphasis mine):

Note: If you didn't do your first playthrough on this difficulty, you can get the trophy via new story or level select.
