Rotten Fruit is a challenge in Hitman World of Assassination that tasks you with poisoning one of the location’s targets, Sinhi “Akka” Venthan, using a Durian. Not only is this item hard to come by, and chances to poison the target are even rarer, but there is a simple method for those willing to put in the work.
The Rotten Fruit challenge was added to Hitman WoA with the summer 2024 update alongside The Disruptor Elusive Target. You can find it in the Feats menu in the Ambrose Island location. You don’t need any special equipment to complete the challenge, but you will get the Durian item if you complete it and go on to exit the mission. The item is actually incredibly useful, and I’ve been eager to get my hands on it for other locations ever since Ambrose Island was released.
How to complete the Rotten Fruit challenge in Hitman WoA
To complete the Rotten Fruit challenge in Hitman WoA, enter the Ambrose Island location using the Western Beach starting point. You need to get to the beach next to the pirate settlement and find the container with a window into the kitchen storage. It’s very close to the guarded entrance to Sinhi “Akka” Venthan’s safe house. See below for a map reference for this location.
Vault up onto the boxes in front of the window and wait for the chef to enter the storage room. You need to vault into the room and subdue the chef, then dump his body in the container in this area. It’s a good idea to take his disguise if you want to go on to kill your targets and complete the mission, but that’s up to you based on whether you’re going for a Silent Assassin rating or not.
If you do this quickly, you can then head out into the pirate village and see the target, Sinhi “Akka” Venthan, who you need to poison with the Durian on the balcony above. I threw this next to her and managed to get it to explode on the railing, which poisoned her and completed the challenge.
I did this using the chef disguise, so I suggest you use it if you want to complete this challenge in one go. Note that you only need to poison the target, kill her, and exit the mission. You don’t need to kill the target using this poisoning opportunity. so you can loop the poison into your best route through the mission, complete it, and then reap your rewards.
