The Professional achievement
I am trying for The Professional achievement and I have picked the mission Revelations - The city of thieves for that purpose. So far I have killed 57 enemies and I cannot find anybody else still alive. It's an eerie place right now - I am running freely through the entire city, I am making a lot of noise in every possible way but nobody comes looking for me. I am using my amber vision but I see noone alive. What am I missing? Does anyone know how many enemies are in this zone? Do you know any hidden place somewhere in that city?

I have spent over 2 hours looking for the remaining enemies but all in vain :(

the prologue works best for this achievement because it's pretty small and there are around 30 enemies to kill.

It's quite easy. Just go to every area and use whistle, to alert any hidden enemies. And yes prologuie works best. Also do a quick save before exiting the level, so if you do not get the Achiev you reload, and look for the enemy you missed.

If Revelation is the second map the no so easy to spot area with enemies are:
- Above the wall leading to the last area with the tavern and the dock: reached from the top of the first tavern.
- The second zeppelin dock: there's a rope allowing you to reach that are near the first one.

You don't get the achievement until you finish the zone. If you're uncertain, quicksave at the end of the zone, finish the zone, and if you don't get the achievement, reload and double check.

I know but I came back to that mission to collect the tokens and I decided to do The Professional achievement simultaneously.

I have done that. In my OP I have said I am making noise in every possible way - running around, throwing glasses everywhere, whistling, sounding the alarms - nobody seems to be alive.

Second zeppelin is that the cargo one that Styx mentions they keep all the valuable things on it? If yes, I have visited it, found 2 soldiers there.

I'll go check that wall again.

I have tried this. Save and exit to the next zone. Nope. Reloading.

OK, thank you all for your posts. I will still go search for the remaining enemies. I know I can go to the Prologue but I got very curious now about that zone. This achievement should be obtainable in every zone so I'll keep trying.

Stay tuned I'll update you on my progress :D

Well, I only got The Professional achievement after completing the whole 1st mission - Revelations. So either the achievement requires to kill all the enemies not in a zone but in a level or I got everyone in the 2nd zone of the level - Diplomatic vessel. The latter would be weird because I didn't search too hard yet I found all the enemies.

My guess is the achievement requires a level to be cleared not just a zone.

I tried to get it in Revelations and I'm pretty sure it's bugged :( Went through the whole levels multiple times, whistling and throwing bottles, did every nook, totall of 107 kills, and yet, no cigar... bummer considering the time it took.

After I reloaded my save a couple times, it looks like some enemies in the tavern I had cleared seemingly came back to life, killed them, still nothing. Did not happen again after reloading the same save. I am just going to put this down to the buggy state of the game in general and stop trying.
