Can I get the Absolution trophy via level select if I didn't start on Professional difficulty?

Question

The last trophy I need for Hitman Absolution is the golden "Absolution" trophy, rewarded for completing the game on any Professional difficulty.

Difficulty's are divided in two groups:

• Enhanced
  • Easy
  • Normal
• Professional
  • Hard
  • Expert
  • Purist

I started on Normal difficulty for like 4 levels and switched to Hard because I was aware of the trophy. The trophy didn't pop after I completed the game (as expected).

My question is: Can I level select to do the missions I did on normal or do I need to start all over again?

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

According to PS3Trophies.org trophy guide & roadmap, completing levels on Hard through level select is enough, see the description for the Absolution trophy (emphasis mine):

Note: If you didn't do your first playthrough on this difficulty, you can get the trophy via new story or level select.
