    For a clean test, start from the beginning rather than treating this like a single kill Challenge.

  • Ignore unrelated cleanup

    If you are specifically going for this Challenge, do not complicate the attempt with optional Challenge setups unless you already know they are compatible.

What Fails Challenge 5?

Why Didn't Challenge 5 Count?

  1. 1. Did you finish Into the Shadows?

    No: Challenge 5 cannot complete until the chapter completes.

    Yes: continue.

  2. 2. Did you meet every named condition?

    Check the numbered Challenge, the named target, place, weapon, execution or state. A weapon cinematic is not an environment execution.

  3. 3. Did you start from a clean chapter attempt?

    If you resumed from a checkpoint or partial run, use a fresh Into the Shadows attempt as a controlled retry.

  4. 4. Everything looked clean but still no credit?

    Then a tracking problem remains possible — after the requirement and a clean retry, not before.

Clean Retry Checklist

Challenge 5 spans the whole Into the Shadows chapter

  1. Into the Shadows↓
  2. Finish the chapter

The condition applies across the run rather than at one isolated objective.

Open Into the Shadows Walkthrough →

When to do this

Keep active throughout

This condition spans the chapter rather than a single Story objective.

Do this before

  • Keep this active through the escape

    Loomis must not detect you before a successful escape.

Plan Into the Shadows

Keeps the same state as the Challenge tracker. This does not read your in-game progress.
