Hitman 3 Mendoza Challenges Guide

In this guide, we’ll be walking you through all 67 challenges that you need to complete in Mendoza, Argentina, in Hitman 3.

Hitman 3 Mendoza Challenges

There are 67 challenges that you need to do to complete ‘The Farewell’ mission in Mendoza, Argentina.

Another benefit to completing these challenges is that your Mastery Level on this map will go up. This will result in you unlocking new gear and starting locations.

To unlock the Vineyard Virtuoso trophy, you need to reach Mastery Level 20 in Mendoza. To get to this level, you only need to do about 85% of the Mendoza challenges.

So, if you just wish to reach Mastery Level 20, you can afford to neglect a couple of these challenges.

That said, we’ll be walking you through every single one of the 67 Mendoza Challenges in this guide.

Do note that these challenges cannot be attempted if you’re not playing online.

Assassination Challenges

Pencil Pusher

For this challenge, your target is Yates. When you’re in the parking lot, you’ll see Yates’ lawyer talking to him on the phone. He’s the bald guy holding a briefcase.

When the lawyer steps inside the circle in the center, take him out and wear his outfit. Get rid of your weapon and head towards the Villa.

Have a chat with the security guard at the Black Iron gate and you’ll be taken to the Guest Room. Once there, knock out the guard and put him in the closet.

Wait for Yates to come into the Guest Room. Meanwhile, you can place your files and your pen on the table.

When Yates finally comes into the room, wait for him to stand right in front of the table. You can then slam his head into the pen that you put on the table.

Notes of Hemlock

Grab the lethal poison from the Villa Bathroom located on Level 5 and then go down to the Wine Fridge in Level 1 to pick up the Pinot Noir bottle. Put on a waiter’s clothing and head up into the Tasting Room located on Level 2.

Put the bottle of Pinot Noir down on the table then poison the glass. Wait for Tamara to come inside the Tasting Room and then serve this glass to her.

Get Rid of the Body

Your challenge in this mission is to dispose of the target using the Shredder located outside the mansion, near the Guest Bedroom.

When you and the target are alone together, kill him and then kill the guard standing by the door outside. You can then drag his body around the corner and throw it into the Shredder.

Coldhearted

While you’re inside the Production Room during the main mission story called ‘The Tour,’ explain the Freezer and wait for Tamara to step inside it. When she does, close the door and lock her in.

Firebrand

For this challenge, you have to electrocute Tamara. If you take a look at the lamps sitting on the floor near the guest areas, you’ll notice that there are several garden hoses near them.

The easiest way to complete this mission is to first knock out Tamara, then drag her to the lamps. You can then shoot at the lamps near her to electrocute her body. However, this method won’t work if there isn’t a puddle of water by the lamps.

Another way to do it is to just wait for Tamara to walk by a lamp that has a puddle of water near it. You can then sneakily shoot the lamp to electrocute her.

Pulp Fiction

While you’re inside the Fermentation Room during the main mission story called ‘The Tour’, explain the Grape Crusher and wait for Tamara to come near it. When she does, push her into the crusher.

Murder by Proxy

To complete this challenge, you need to get the NPCs to kill your targets instead of killing them yourself.

Tasteless, Traceless

To complete this challenge, you need to complete the following two challenges:

  • Notes of Hemlock
  • To Loyalty

To Loyalty

For this challenge, you’ll need some lethal poison. You can get it by either reaching Berlin Mastery Level 10, or obtaining it from the Villa Bathroom located on Level 5.

Once you have the poison on you, bring it down into the Villa Basement located on Level 3 and lace Don’s glass with the poison.

Now, you’ll have to complete the main story mission called ‘Closing Statement’ to get Don to drink from the poisoned glass.

All you need to do for this challenge is to land a headshot on any target.

Versatile Assassin

  • Someone Could Hurt Themselves
  • Hold My Hair
  • Tasteless, Traceless
  • Straight Shot
  • Piano Man

Somebody Could Hurt Themselves

For this challenge, you need to complete all the other challenges where your targets ‘accidentally’ kill themselves. Take the challenge named ‘Pulp Fiction’ for example.

Hold My Hair

For this challenge, you’ll need an Emetic Syrine. You can get one by reaching Chongqing Mastery Level 5.

Once you have the syringe, head up to the Villa’s upper floor and use it on the target. This will make him rush into the bathroom.

While he’s in there, sneak up on him and drown him to complete the challenge.
