How to Complete the (Not) Malpractice Challenge in Hitman

by

In the game “Hitman World of Assassination” set in Hokkaido, players face a mission where they must make Erich Soders appear to meet an accidental death at the hands of the chief surgeon. Players can achieve this by dressing up as the chief surgeon and deliberately performing a shoddy operation to trigger malpractice charges. Interestingly, this is easier than persuading the surgeon to commit the act himself. If they manage to carry out this plan successfully, they will complete the “Not Malpractice” challenge.

This walkthrough assists gamers in overcoming the (Not) Malpractice mission within the game Hitman, providing a comprehensive breakdown of the necessary actions required for successful completion of this assassination task.

How to Get the Chief Surgeon to Kill Erich Soders in Hokkaido

In this scenario, the head surgeon won’t deliberately sabotage the operation he is scheduled to perform on Erich Soders; instead, the other medical staff must expose his true nature as a villain by uncovering evidence that he had his father killed and revealing it through the hospital’s AI system, KAI. This revelation, combined with his addiction to chaotic pills, could potentially lead to an unfortunate accident during the operation, resulting in Erich Soders’s untimely death on the operating table.

Below are the steps required for players to conquer the (Not) Malpractice mission in Hitman:

1. Gather information about the target’s routine and schedule.
2. Infiltrate the hospital as a disguise that matches the target’s area of work.
3. Find an opportunity to poison the target without raising suspicion.
4. Observe the effects of the poison and wait for the target to die.
5. Dispose of the body or escape undetected, depending on the chosen approach.

  • Get a Bodyguard disguise
  • Get into Yuki’s Room
  • Grab Erich’s kill list
  • Get a Surgeon disguise
  • Upload the kill list into KAI
  • Get a Helicopter Pilot disguise
  • Meet the chief surgeon and give him his drugs
  • Wait for the surgery to go wrong

Below, players can learn how to complete each of these steps:

How to Get Erich Soders’s Kill List in Hokkaido

In the Hitman: World of Assassination game, you can swiftly obtain a Bodyguard disguise on the Hokkaido map by making your way to the Cable Line area (Level 0). Once there, it’s best to push one of the bodyguards over the ledge and then quickly knock out the other one. Afterward, players have the option to quickly change into his clothes and leave or dispose of the unconscious body.

Undercover as her guards, players should find no obstacles when gaining access to Yuki’s Room (Level 0). If they move swiftly, they might discover that both Yuki and her guards are still within the room. In such a case, it would be wise for them to wait until she departs before heading towards her bedroom desk to secure the kill list.

How to Get a Surgeon Disguise in Hokkaido

In Hokkaido, since most surgeons are located in areas that players can’t access even with a Bodyguard disguise, one straightforward method to obtain a Surgeon disguise is by heading to the Rehabilitation Supervisor’s room (Level 3), and knocking out the surgeon who has an appointment with Jason Portman.

As a sneaky gamer, I’ve got an insider tip: There’s a watchful guard in the room, but once Portman shows up, he’ll beat it like a drum. After our meeting, there’ll be a brief moment of opportunity where we can slip in unnoticed and take out the surgeon without raising any alarms. Let’s make the most of this window!

How to Get the Surgery to Go Wrong in Hokkaido

After donning my surgical garb, I manage to sneak into the room connected to the Robot Surgery Control (Level 2). In there, I’m able to plant the list of targets, marking Erich’s victims. Once he realizes the extent of his actions, the chief surgeon will fly into a rage and start searching for a way to retaliate.

To proceed, players should make their way to the Helipad location on Level 2, navigate the stairway near the helicopter, and eliminate the pilot to acquire his disguise. Additionally, it could be advantageous to neutralize the gardener who wanders the area prior to engaging in this task.

After completing their task, players need to return up the stairs and temporarily wait for the chief surgeon’s arrival, which might take a few minutes. Subsequently, they should guide him towards the hidden stash located below, where the helicopter pilot usually keeps things. Players are instructed to allow the chief surgeon to consume the drugs concealed there, as these substances will significantly alter him and ultimately result in the chaos necessary for Erich Soders’ demise.
