Even though the Hitman series has gone through a revamp, there are many fans who still consider Blood Money as the superior entry in the series. That would be selling 2016’s Hitman short, though, as this game is packed with many hidden things waiting to be found.

Quite a few are shown as challenges to be completed, but since there are no clues as to how these can be achieved, almost every player has finished the game without ever knowing about these hidden things. Finding out what they are and how you can unlock them makes 2016’s Hitman all the more fun to play. So, let’s see which hidden things can be uncovered.

10 Raining Moose In Marrakesh

Not for nothing is the game considered one of the open-world games with great side missions. In Marrakesh, players can go on a mini-mission to witness a moose being dropped by a helicopter. That’s right, this is actually possible.

In order to do so, the player has to go straight from the lamp shop and turn the corner. From there, enter the building on the right and take out everyone on the rooftop. A helicopter flies nearby, so shoot at it until the gun clip empties. It’s then when the moose will appear lined up to the helicopter and will plummet from the sky.

9 Finding The Kraken

Sapienza is easily among the best ever Hitman locations and this hidden feature makes it even better. The right area is at the top of the ruins along the seaside where you’ll see a stationary ship. Ideally, the player should have a sniper equipped to aim at the four bells on the ship.

To initiate the sequence, the bells should be shot firstly from the left, then on the extreme right, followed by at the top and then at the bottom. Once this is done, an actual Kraken is summoned that completely tears apart the ship and takes it down into the depths of the ocean.

8 Encountering The Mario Brothers

A lot of comedy for fans of the series comes from the mannerisms of Agent 47. And yet, one can find funny references by other means as well, with Sapienza having not one but both of the Mario brothers. What’s more, the guys are even plumbers.

These two aren’t all that difficult to find, being located in the sewer areas that connect the mansion to the church from the underground. The brothers can be found at either end, with Mario wearing his trademark red and Luigi his green scheme.

7 Summoning Godzilla

For those who argue that the reboot series is better than the original, this hidden feature might be a good way to make your case. Unlocking it is much easier to check out for yourself due to the complex nature of activating it.

The gist of it is that, after reaching level 7 mastery in Hokkaido, the mountain path is unlocked as a location. Starting from here, the player has to go down, turn left, and climb the pipes before the first entrance leading to the roof. Follow the instructions in the video to find the right footing and the end result will be a view of Godzilla wreaking havoc in the distance.

6 Agent Smith In The Morgue

Out of all the characters seen so far in the series, Agent Smith certainly ranks the lowest according to intelligence. He can be found in Hokkaido having been captured again, although locating him takes a little work since he’s been hidden down in the morgue, by the door leading to Erich Soders’ heart.

The easiest way to free him is to use a scrambler and break the lock off. However, the true way is to wear the disguise of the hospital director and get the keycard from his office from the top floor. Going back to the morgue, Smith can then be freed and he’ll hand you a keycard that allows access to any location in the level.

5 Elephant Crying Tears Of Blood

This one might be hidden but it’s also listed as a challenge to complete in Bangkok. To do so, the player needs to head to the Queen suite. Here, there are eighteen golden elephant statuettes that need to be shot. These are scattered between four rooms on the floor and lined up along the bookshelves.

It’s easy enough to spot them, and once shot, all you need to do is return back to the entrance of the hotel. There are two large elephant statues located here, which will now be seen crying tears of blood.

4 Skeletons Bursting Out Walls

The plague doctor uniform found in the mansion in Sapienza is more useful than one might think. Once worn, the player needs to head to the ruins and go down to where the boat is located. Shoot the bottle containing the sewer key and head over to the pier by the church.

There’s a door to unlock here and, using the key, the player will find themselves in what resembles the Parisian catacombs. As soon as you enter, numerous skeletal hands will pop out of the wall and ground for the duration of your stay within this room.

3 The Giant Cockroach In The Horizon

Using the exterminator outfit to evacuate Jordan Cross’ studio is a tactic the game itself spells out for the player in Bangkok. For this hidden feature, repeat that process but, instead of waiting for Cross in the lobby, head over to the studio.

At the far end, a keyboard can be found and used only when wearing the exterminator costume. Once the tune is played, all one needs to do is head back outside and on the horizon, an enormous cockroach will have manifested. It looks terrifying but at least you can claim to have seen it.

2 Make Everything Burn As The Wicker Man

Agent 47 has taken so many people out that there are a number of kills that are considered the best. And yet, this hidden challenge in Colorado might top all of them. To do so, the player needs the scarecrow costume and has to head to the top of the water tower.

Up here, there are specific bells that have to be shot, which can be seen in detail in this video. Once all of them have been rung, you can head wherever you like as the very sight of 47 will set anyone in his way up in flames.

1 Causing A Volcanic Eruption

There are as many as ten mini-ninja figurines scattered around Hokkaido. These can be found and shot, as seen in this video, in order to trigger a truly remarkable event. The end result of destroying all figurines is to witness the mountain in the distance erupt.

Next to no one will be aware of this feature, mainly due to how well hidden those figurines are. Still, it’s quite the sight to see the volcano explode, proving it’s not there just for show. The perfect location to witness it is by the mountainside as it gives the best view.
