In the Hitman World of Assassination Hokkaido mission, players are tasked with the challenge of getting the chief surgeon to accidentally eliminate Erich Soders. While players can disguise themselves as the chief surgeon and purposely fail the surgery to achieve the Malpractice challenge, it is surprisingly simpler than managing to persuade the surgeon to perform the act intentionally. Successfully completing this will result in the achievement of the (Not) Malpractice challenge.

This guide provides players with a comprehensive walkthrough for the (Not) Malpractice challenge in Hitman, detailing the necessary steps to complete this assassination task.
Steps to get the Chief Surgeon to Eliminate Erich Soders in Hokkaido
The chief surgeon will not willingly sabotage the surgery on Erich Soders; players need to demonstrate that Soders is a villain responsible for his father’s demise. This can be accomplished by obtaining Soders’s kill list and uploading it via the hospital’s KAI AI system. This shocking information, combined with the surgeon’s existing struggles with drug addiction, will lead Soders to his unintended demise during surgery.
To finish the (Not) Malpractice challenge in Hitman, players should adhere to the following steps:
- Obtain a Bodyguard disguise
- Access Yuki’s Room
- Retrieve Erich’s kill list
- Achieve a Surgeon disguise
- Upload the kill list into KAI
- Acquire a Helicopter Pilot disguise
- Meet the chief surgeon and provide him with drugs
- Wait for the surgery to fail
Below are detailed directions for completing each of these steps:
Accessing Erich Soders’s Kill List in Hokkaido
The quickest method to secure a Bodyguard disguise in the Hokkaido setting of Hitman World of Assassination is to navigate to the Cable Line area (Level 0). From there, players should push one bodyguard off the ledge and swiftly incapacitate the other, allowing them to take his clothing and proceed discreetly or dispose of the body.
In the Bodyguard outfit, players can easily enter Yuki’s Room (Level 0). If they act quickly, Yuki and her bodyguards might still be present, so it is recommended to wait until she departs before grabbing the kill list from her desk.
Securing a Surgeon Disguise in Hokkaido
Most surgeons are located in secure zones where accessing them will be difficult, even with a Bodyguard disguise. Thus, the most straightforward way to obtain a Surgeon disguise in Hokkaido–if players do not already have it unlocked–is by finding the Rehabilitation Supervisor room (Level 3) and overpowering the surgeon scheduled to meet Jason Portman.
Although there is a guard in the room, he will exit as soon as Portman arrives. After the appointment, there will be a brief moment during which players can enter and subdue the surgeon without raising an alarm.
Causing the Surgery to Fail in Hokkaido
After donning the surgeon disguise, players can enter the room linked to Robot Surgery Control (Level 2) and upload the kill list. This will incite anger in the chief surgeon, prompting him to search for a solution.
Next, players need to proceed to the Helipad area (Level 2), go around the helicopter’s staircase, and eliminate the pilot for his outfit. It may also be prudent to eliminate the gardener wandering in the vicinity before proceeding.
Once everything is set, players should return upstairs and wait for the chief surgeon to arrive, which might take a few minutes. They must then direct him to the stash of the helicopter pilot down below. Finally, they need to allow him to take the drugs, as this will significantly affect him and lead to the unfortunate events resulting in Erich Soders’s demise.
