So Many Ways to Stop the Show not unlocking

[castigo]

Anyone else have trouble unlocking this achievement?
I have completed all the story missions but nothing :'(

[Kunovega]

You don't need all the story missions, what you need are all of the Mission Stories (challenges)

There's a difference

Mission Stories are under challenges, feats

For Paris that's:
Mission Story - A Private Meeting, Mission Story - 15 Seconds of Fame, Mission Story - Lights Out (For more information read the section on "Understanding Mission Story Challenges"

Oh I'm sorry, that's what I meant.
I've done all the mission stories but the achievement didn't unlock

Are you 100% in paris challenges and mission story menu?

[HarveyScorpius]

My guess is, and this was my case, you don't have the lights out challenge. It's possible you completed it, but didn't get the challenge for "tricking novikov" feat.

That would happen if you used emetic poison to take out Sato. You would need to silently subdue him and hide his body for it to count as "tricking". I guess. That's how it worked for me anyway.

I tried the lights out challenge again, this time actually killing Sato and hiding his body, still nothing.

I am not 100% in the paris challenges but all the mission stories are completed.
In assassination I am missing "In Plain Sight" "Public Speaker" "Center of Attention" "Terminal Velocity" "Powdering Her Nose" "A Break From The Auction" "Watch Your Step" "Bad Habits" "That Sick Drop" "Smoking Hazard" "Do Svedjana" and "Safe Room Explosion"
In Discovery I am missing "Baron Larin's Boat" "Discover Paris" and "Piano Forty Seven"
In Feats I am missing "Chameleon"

When you redid lights out did you drop the light rig using the crowbar?

[castigo]

Yes

I'm out of suggestions, the hiding sato body or the crowbar tend to be the sticking points for most people. That achievement worked in the past, so if something is broken it would have to be a recent change. I'd imagine more people will be encountering it soon.

You might want to consider posting on the main forums and see what kind of response you get there:

I too have been encountering this since day one. Thought it had to do with the bug with Novikov walking away from the interview in the "A Rare Scoop" story mission, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[castigo]

I had that bug aswell

A rare scoop is a different challenge, it worked at launch, then was broken in a patch, then got fixed, then got broken in an entirely new way, then got fixed again

I have no idea if it's currently working or not. Additionally even when it is working it requires specific types of explosives, some people use the wrong ones and fail it even when it's not broken

[castigo]

It finally unlocked for me :D

For some reason redoing the "A Private Meeting" story mission did it

[JoesGuy]

Okay, I just got it randomly after bidding as the Sheikh after trying nearly everything. There's no challenge directly tied to it so I have no idea.....

That's part of the Guest of Honor story line and is required for the achievement

You need every piece of every mission story (and the mission story challenges) complete to unlock that achievement

The achievements are more strict than the in game check marks, you need to hit every step of the mission story to unlock the achievement, you simply finished your Guest of Honor requirement

This was a lot less confusing in Hitman (2016) with "opportunities" not sharing the same menu name as "mission story" challenges

There are a lot of bugs with the Legacy maps for some reason lately so that might be at fault. For example i can't get Mission Mastery on the Marrakesh bonus mission.
