The six levels of Hitman 3 are packed with all kinds of clever and unique methods of murder. But not everything in IO Interactive's stealth sequel is about killing. Several of Hitman 3's hardest Challenges are focused on exploration, daring players to pick apart the sprawling maps and discover their secrets.
All of the six levels in Hitman 3 are full of secrets and Easter eggs, but Thornbridge Manor in the mission Death in the Family stands out as particularly mysterious. There are two Challenges in particular that require players to discover the secrets locked behind its ancient walls, D'ya Like Dags and Dogs Secrets.

Before players can complete the Dogs Secrets Challenge in Hitman 3, they'll first have to finish D'ya Like Dags, the name of which is based on a much-quoted line from Brad Pitt in the movie Snatch. To complete the Challenge, players will need to start by breaking into Thornbridge Manor itself. There are several ways to do this, either through one of the open windows on the ground floor, up a drain-pipe, or by entering disguised as someone else.
Once inside, players should make their way to the south-west corner of the building on the second floor (called Level 1 on the map). Here, they'll find Gregory and Emma's room, two of the potential suspects in Hitman 3's murder-mystery. The door is locked, but can be bypassed with a crowbar, lockpick, key, or by exiting via the bathroom window and shimmying around. Once in the room, all players need to do is pick up the dog-headed cane by the fireplace to complete the Challenge.
Once players have acquired the dog-headed cane in Hitman 3's Thornbridge Manor, it's time to complete the Dogs Secrets Challenge. To do this, exit Gregory and Emma's room by the doorway, and turn right to head down the corridor. Go through the doorway into the upper-floor section of the library, and immediately turn left.
On the floor in the corner of the room will be a Mysterious Switch. Insert the dog-headed cane into this switch to unlock a secret door, and complete the Dogs Secrets Challenge. The room inside contains some juicy evidence in the case of Zachary Carlisle's murder, as well as some classic Hitman coins. Players who have completed both Challenges might want to hang onto the dog-headed cane for a little longer, as there are more Mysterious Switches in the Manor that it can open.
Hitman 3 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
