If I find an unauthorized site hosting this FAQ I will personally call 
Lambert up and have him send Sam Fisher to sneak up on you and pull 
your underwear up over your head.   

If you have the game, I am assuming you have the instruction booklet 
that came with it and I don't need to type 12 pages worth of basic 
instructions found in the booklet that came with the game. This is a 
game play FAQ and if I say "Equip the night vision and shoot the guard 
down the hall with the scope on the SC-20K" you either already know 
how to make him do that or you have the instruction manual and can 
look it up. If I'm stuck at a point in a game and am looking for a FAQ 
to help me out I always hate scrolling through page after page after 
page of basic information that is really just a reproduction of the 
game's instruction manual. 

I will describe the first time a move or an item comes up which button 
or trigger or thumb stick to use to equip it. All such descriptions 
are for a basic XBox controller. 

In case you have played the first game but have not yet bought Pandora 
Tomorrow and wonder how different or improved the game is, I have 
special Game Improvement! updates noted during the Walkthrough. 

The game begins with a very well done cut scene in Timor where we see 
a terrorist leader named Suhadi Sadono lead his troops in an 
infiltration and takeover of the U.S. Embassy. We watch as some 
Embassy staff are ruthlessly killed while others are brutally 
mistreated. Sadono himself ends the cut scene by sadistically kicking 
a kneeling man in the face. We want to see something bad happen to 
these terrorists and fast. And apparently so does Washington, because 
Sam Fisher is quickly dispatched to the scene. 

Level I: Dili, Timor

Synopsis: This is an instructional level. Hints abound and you will 
have to really work at it to get stuck on this level because it's so 
simple. Your initial mission is to get Sam inside the Embassy building 
to find a software executive being held hostage by a Timor rebel 
group. 

Objective: Infiltrate the Embassy

The level begins with Sam standing in water just in front of a pier. 
For fun, don't move Sam at all and Lambert will come on the radio 
every 15 seconds or so and ask Sam why the hell he's not moving and 
Sam will give him some funny answers, which I won't spoil for you by 
repeating here. Move Sam forward and climb up the pier and crouch in 
the shadows. Proceed down the pier and halt just outside the circle of 
light cast by the overhead lamp swaying in the wind. It's lighting up 
the entire walkway of the pier just where it turns to the right. Equip 
the pistol and shoot out the light, darkening the area so Sam can pass 
through unseen. 

(Game Improvement!  While the pistol is equipped, pull the left 
trigger and a nifty new laser sight will turn on, putting a red dot 
where the round will go.  Pros - you now will never have to spend 3 or 
4 rounds shooting out a single light! Cons- anybody in the area 
looking towards you will see the red beam of light)

You will notice that if Sam is moving while aiming the pistol, the 
cross hairs go very wide - this means his shot will very likely miss. 
Sam shoots much more accurately while still - when the cross hairs are 
very close together. 

Your first Hint Box is to the left of the lamp you just shot out. It's 
shaped....like a box! And it has a square shaped grayish glowing area 
in it's center. Move Sam over to it and a Hint Window will appear 
telling you to press the green 'A' button on your controller if you 
wish to access the Hint. 

Turning and continuing down the pier, equip Sam's night vision (left 
tap of the directional pad) and move in a crouch toward the next 
lighted area. 

(Game Improvement! Sam now has binoculars that he can access 
instantly. In the first game, if you wanted a better look at something 
up ahead, if you didn't have the SC-2OK Silenced Rifle, with it's 
scope, you were out of luck.)

While still some distance off, use the Binoculars (click down on right 
thumb stick) to carefully scan the area before proceeding. You can 
zoom with the Binoculars by tapping the up key of the directional pad. 
You can zoom in tapping up and zoom out by tapping down. Stopping and 
scanning areas with the Binoculars is a very good habit to get into 
with this game, so we will start it here. You can scan an area with 
the Binoculars using all three of Sam's vision capabilities: normal, 
night vision, and thermal vision. Use all three with the Binoculars 
before proceeding, because sometimes the night vision will show you 
something the normal vision could not detect; same with the 
thermalvison. You especially want to do this before you have Sam 
proceed across any lighted areas where he cannot see or safely shoot 
out the lights illuminating the area.

Climb up the ladder and upon reaching the top immediately go to the 
left and crouch in the dark corner and shoot out the light 
illuminating the room. Then have Sam jump up (yellow 'Y' button) and 
grab the zip line so he can slide down it to the walkway. 

(Game Improvement! Sam now feels vibrations in his hands as he slides 
down a zip line - in the first game you felt nothing on the zip lines)

After he lands, jump him up again to grab the pipe running across the 
area and send him hand over hand to the next building - and halfway 
across you will have to press the 'Y' button so Sam will bring his 
legs up to avoid an obstacle.

(Game Improvement!  Sam can now shoot while hanging by his legs on a 
pipe!  After bringing Sam's legs up by pressing the 'Y' button, press 
the 'X' button and Sam will hang by his legs while drawing his pistol! 
To put the gun away, simply press 'X' again. What a cool move!)

Once Sam is at the building, press 'Y' again to drop his legs and then 
press the 'B' button to drop him down - hit 'B' again before he lands 
and Sam will do a silent landing. Try to make EVERY landing in this 
game a silent landing. 

Crouch and move past the lighted window slowly. At the corner of the 
building, shoot out the lamp hanging on a elevated hook that is 
illuminating the next area Sam must pass through.

Turn the corner and as Sam crouches in front of the closed door, the 
'Door Options' window will come up. You have the option of directly 
opening the door OR scanning the room first by sticking the tiny fiber 
optic cable underneath it. 

(Game Improvement! Now the game always gives you the option of 
scanning with the Optic Cable before opening the door. It's part of 
the basic Door Options, unlike the first game, where you always had to 
hold down the inventory button, equip the Optic Cable from the menu, 
scan the room, then reselect Sam's pistol or rifle before opening the 
door. I am so glad they fixed this hassle!)

ALWAYS SCAN THE ROOM BEFORE OPENING A DOOR. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS. As 
in every single time. If you get an option of scanning a door or 
window or whatever with the optic cable before opening it, do it. 
There are more than a few places in this game where just opening the 
door up first will FAIL THE MISSION. So if you stupidly open a door or 
window up without scanning with the optic cable first, remember that I 
warned you about that here. 

Hold down the 'A' button and move the left thumb stick up to select 
'Optic Cable' instead of 'Open Door'. Once the optic cable view comes 
up on the screen, you can rotate the cable for a look all around the 
room by rotating the right thumb stick in a circular pattern. 

Once you have ascertained that this well-lighted room is indeed empty, 
hit the 'A' button again to go back to third person view and have Sam 
open the door. Move Sam into the room to the right where it is darkest 
and note that to pass through the room he'd have to go right by the 
window to the left - while going directly under the lamp. Anybody 
outside would clearly see him. So shoot the light out before 
proceeding. Don't think "But I just passed through that area - there's 
nobody out there!". The point is to get into the habit of shooting 
lights. Lights are not your friend. Get in the habit of shooting them 
out.

Use the Optic Cable on the door at the other end of the room and then 
pick the lock. Proceed into the room to the right, crouching in the 
shadows and look up. There's a pipe there you must climb - only 
there's a lantern hanging next to the top of the pipe. If anybody is 
up there, you are gonna be a very well illuminated sitting duck when 
you reach the top. So shoot the lantern and..........time to develop 
yet another good habit. WAIT for a few seconds and see if there is any 
response to the shot. 

After some time has passed and there has been no noise, climb up the 
pipe and crouch down at the top. Move left and crouch down in the far 
corner of the room where there is a trap door. Scan the area below 
with the Optic Cable and then have Sam open it up and drop down. 
Ignore the lantern on the floor to the right; the room is empty. Move 
Sam in a crouch to the doorway. There is a lantern on the porch 
outside lighting up the stairs he must go down. Phhht! - the sound of 
Sam's silenced pistol sending yet another light to it's doom. 

Proceed down the steps, turn right and stop. Before you is a semi-
lighted area. Move Sam along the fence to the left until he comes to a 
square- shaped opening beneath a porch. He can only enter this in a 
crouch. Proceed down this small tunnel until it ends in a small yard 
with a house in front of Sam that has a light hanging over the steps 
to the boarded up door. From the bottom step, aim up and shoot out the 
light. When you proceed around the now darkened corner, the game will 
automatically save. This is because your days of unopposed sneaking 
and peeking are over. Enemies are near.

Keep going forward and at the top of the next pair of steps there is 
some ammo for you to pick up. Go down the steps to the left. At the 
bottom of the steps turn right and here we are going to learn to 
maneuver while sliding along walls - very good method for a stealth 
operative to know. Stand Sam up, then move him so he is facing the 
board fence on the left. Then click down on the left thumb stick and 
Sam will turn and flatten himself against the wall. Now you will be 
able to move him through the narrow corridor formed by this fence and 
the wall of the building opposite. Keep Sam in 'Wall Mode' when he 
reaches the end of the fence and hold the left thumb stick to the 
right to make Sam peek around the corner. Sam will see a guard sitting 
on box facing away from him. 

(Game Improvement - the SWAT Maneuver. Sam has had a very good evasive 
technique added for crossing an open doorway. In the first game you 
had to just crouch and hope they didn't see you.) 

Now we learn the handy 'SWAT Maneuver' - while holding the left thumb 
stick to the right and making Sam peek around the corner, hit the 'A' 
button and he will do this really cool turning move that brings him 
quickly to the other side of the doorway. From there, have him peek 
again around the corner, this time by holding the left thumb stick to 
the left. While he is peeking, tap the 'X' button and Sam will draw 
his pistol. Aim for the lantern on the wall and shoot it out. The 
guard will let out a grunt of surprise and get up and go over to look 
at the lantern. The area is now dark so he will not see you as you 
sneak up behind him. When you are close enough behind the guard, the 
'Grab Character' window appears. Tap the 'A' button and Sam will grab 
the guard in a headlock and hold the pistol to the man's head.

Important: as you have seen many times at the bottom of your screen in 
the mission objective window, Lethal Force is NOT allowed on this 
level thus far, so you cannot kill this guard. If you do so, Lambert 
will say something nasty to you and the mission fails. 

Once you've grabbed the guard, you can practice moving around with him 
as a shield by using the left thumb stick. You can move him forward, 
back, turn around, etc. Also, by tapping the 'X' button again you can 
take the pistol away from his head and aim it at a secondary target. 
Tap 'X' once more and the pistol goes back against the hapless guard's 
temple. Move him to a darkened area and then press the right trigger 
and Sam will knock the guard out. 

(Game Improvement! In the first Splinter Cell, Sam would knock people 
out and their bodies would 'fall through' Sam on the way to the floor 
- now the K.O.'s are much more realistic as the guard and Sam's bodies 
will not blend together as he crumples to the ground)

Proceed forward past the box that the now unconscious guard was 
sitting on and another Game Save point will automatically pop up. 
Crouch and look forward at the ground while equipping the Thermal 
Vision. Yikes - those glowing circular patterns on the ground are 
Thermal Mines. Step on one and you don't just fail the mission, you 
die. Look to the right - there is an elevated walkway - go underneath 
it to bypass the mines and turn right. Look up ahead - MORE thermal 
mines, but not to worry - to the left of the mines is a box underneath 
a hanging lantern. Shoot out the lantern, get on the box and then jump 
up and grab the ledge and go hand over hand past the mines. Or you 
could simply take a running jump over them like I did the first time I 
played the game. Whichever turns you on. 

(Game Improvement! The Half-Split Jump - Sam can now do more than 
simply drop down on somebody from the Split Jump. Now he can move from 
one side to the other while suspended and then jump even higher)

Proceed around the corner staying to the left against the wall where 
you are in total darkness. Find the small alley between the two 
buildings to the right and proceed halfway down it. Here you must 
perform a split jump. Press the 'Y' button and then when Sam is at the 
apex of his jump (that's the highest point of the jump, for those of 
you in Rio Linda) press 'Y' again and he will do his patented split 
jump and end up suspended in midair between the two walls. 

Now, to reach the ledge up to the left hand side, you will have Sam 
perform his new 'Half-Split Jump'. Use the left thumb-stick to move 
Sam to the right so he is facing the ledge to his left. Then press 'Y' 
again and he will jump up and grab the lip of the ledge. He might have 
to hand over hand down the ledge to a point where you can make him 
pull himself up. Proceed through the room and turn right and as you go 
through the next doorway another Save point loads. 

As you enter the next room the game asks you to equip the binoculars 
by clicking the right thumb stick. Lambert speaks up and tells you 
Grimsdotter has found you a way in - the stream outside that runs 
under the walkway will get you inside the embassy grounds. But there 
are patrolling guards you can see once you shoot out the lantern in 
the window to your left. Shoot out the lantern on the table in the 
next room as well, and then when the nearest guard outside is facing 
away from you proceed down the pole and slowly enter the water. Move 
along the stream where the bushes are thickest. 

(Game Improvement! The Whistle tactic - now Sam has a built in 
diversion that he can use to lure guards to him. In the first game, he 
either had to intentionally shoot nearby a guard to lure him - thus 
using up precious ammo - or he had to go find a provided bottle or can 
to throw. Or jump up and down like an organ grinder's monkey. Now all 
Sam has to do is put his lips together and blow. Much simpler and 
easier, eh?)

You have the option of luring the guard to you with a whistle (the 
black button) and then KO'ing him or you can simply sneak past. If you 
K.O. him, you have to hide the body and there is a chance it will be 
discovered and raise the other guard's level of alarm. It's better 
just to sneak past. 

Wait until the guard has turned his back and is moving away from you 
and proceed up the stream and under the bridge. If you move too fast 
or he hears something and heads back, keep going because what the 
guard will do is take out his flashlight and start scanning the area 
you already passed through. Continue forward to the great big paddle 
wheel and then look back and use the binoculars to find the guard. 
When he is on the opposite side of the bridge and you cannot see him, 
move up the embankment and crouch down next to the palm tree and look 
to the left. There is a guard sitting on a box with his back to you. 
As you move forward, stay out of the light thrown on the ground to the 
left and move along the wall of the embassy to the right. As you 
proceed another Save point loads. 

Lambert speaks up to say the terrorists seem to be preparing to kill 
some hostages. Sam lets Lambert know he cannot avoid this guard in his 
way - how flexible is his lethal force parameters? Lambert says like a 
rock - as a matter of fact, he thinks this guy is one of Sadono's top 
lieutenants and wants Sam to interrogate him. So move up slowly behind 
the seated thug, grab him and hit the 'A' button again to interrogate 
him. Note: move him into the dark area to the left as you interrogate 
him - don't stand out in the light for this. There is another guard 
around. 

After the terrorist is done spilling his guts, K.O. him and crouch 
down - very likely you will see another guard wandering around the box 
where the lieutenant was sitting. He will then enter the building you 
are next to. After a few seconds, go to the door and use the OC (Optic 
Cable) and you will find him sitting with his back to the door 
watching TV. Who trains these guys? Enter the room and K.O. him if you 
want the practice; you can bypass this guy easily.  Move to the 
flaming barrel and climb the pipe to the right of it to reach the top 
of the embassy wall. 

Or if you want the practice, move into the narrow area behind the 
burning can and perform the Split Jump and the Half-Split Jump to get 
to the top of the Embassy wall. Pull Sam up and stand him on top of 
the wall and.........

Congratulations! You have fulfilled the first objective - infiltrating 
the Embassy!

Now a new game screen loads and you are given a new objective -
Recover/Destroy Security Intelligence. You are informed from this 
loading screen that: 'Private military corporation C.E.O. (that's 
Chief Executive Officer or the Big Cheese to those of you in Rio 
Linda) Douglas Shetland is trapped inside the Embassy, in possession 
of intelligence that cannot be allowed into enemy hands. 

Objective: Find Douglas Shetland and either recover the sensitive 
security intelligence or destroy it.

As the level starts you have the option of saving a checkpoint. After 
saving, Lambert comes on the radio with some info. Then check your 
OPSAT for info on Shetland.Includes a funny comment by Grimsdotter at 
the end.

Don't worry about the lights, nobody is watching at this point, go up 
the ladder to your left, then turn right and go up another ladder. 
Come down on the landing and move to the left into the shadows. Shoot 
out the lantern sitting there or the guard with the binoculars in the 
window around the corner is going to see you. 

Crouch and go around the corner and before you get to the lighted 
window go to wall mode in the crouch and slide by underneath the 
window. The guard looking out through his cheap Czech-made binoculars 
should not see you. As you continue sliding down the wall to the 
right, there is another, far larger window where another guard is 
looking out. Lambert will come on the radio and tell you to freeze 
because it seems Sadono himself has come into the room and is looking 
around. If he sees you, the mission is over. If you stay in wall mode 
in the dark here he will never see you. After this self-important 
terrorist thug leaves the room, go out of wall mode and crouch down 
right next to the window and use the 'whistle' button. The guard will 
go and investigate, moving around the room. When his back is to you, 
move across the lighted area to the far side. Two hostages are sitting 
on the floor inside the room , but they won't see you or they have the 
presence of mind not to alert the guard. Move down the landing to 
where it ends abruptly - looks like a tank shell or some sort of 
artillery took out this section of the balcony. Below a big fire burns 
so if you mess up this next part Sam goes down to a fiery death. 

Move Sam to the very edge of the balcony and to the left, until the 
Interact window comes up with the option of Climb Out displayed. 
Select it and watch Sam climb out onto the pipe and then move him up 
so he can grab the ledge and hand over hand to the landing outside the 
opposite window. As you are landing you hear Shetland being 
interrogated inside the room by a nasty terrorist torturer. Face right 
and move to the edge and the interact window pops up again. Climb onto 
the pipe and then move down off of it onto the balcony and go through 
the open doorway and K.O. this vicious terrorist. 

Then talk to Shetland and find out what you need to know. Shetland 
hands over a data chip which you insert in a Sony Ericcson Palm Pilot 
device and then a Checkpoint Save option comes up. 

Your objective now is to find a CIA agent named Ingrid Ruth Karlthson 
who is on the Embassy grounds. You can see her picture and bio on your 
OPSAT now, if you so desire. 

Objective: Find Ruth Ingrid Karlthson

After saving, Lambert tells you about a person code named 'Mortified 
Penguin' who seems to be behind this operation. There are two doors 
leading out of this room - one leads to the room where the guard is at 
the window and the two hostages are on the floor behind him. The other 
leads to a hallway where a guard can be seen on the right standing 
with his back to you as he looks outside. Don't believe me? Fine then 
- use the Optic Cable on both doors and look for yourself.

Going for the first guard with the two hostages is risky - the room is 
well lighted and one of the hostages may make a noise if they see you 
coming. The other guard is in a dimly lighted hallway with his back to 
you with no one to alert him intentionally or otherwise. 

K.O. the guard in the hallway, lockpick the bathroom further down the 
hall, and then hide the guard's body there. Note the Medical Kit on 
the wall there - you haven't been hit yet so you don't need it, but 
the night is young so remember where it is. 

(Game Improvement! Although kind of a frustrating one, it does make 
the game more realistic: Sam can no longer stare right at a bright 
light source while using his nightvision.  If he does, the whole 
screen goes white and for a few seconds he can see only 'ghosts' or 
outlines of whatever he was looking at until his vision clears again)

(Game Improvement! Now you don't pick medical kits up and take them 
with you - they remain on the wall where you find them. And you have 
the option of not using all of the kit to restore your health - you 
can save some of the health for later. Even if you have just a little 
life left and choose 'Full Restore', there will be some health left in 
the kit.)

Shoot out all the lights in the hallway and on the ceiling; if things 
go south at the bottom of the stairs up ahead and you have to retreat, 
you want a nice safe dark place waiting. At the end of the hallway 
shoot out the big circular light that hangs over the stairway. And the 
lamps on the tables in the corners. Once the upstairs area is in total 
darkness, proceed down the stairs. There is a guard on patrol and his 
steps bring him to the foot of the stairs. Use the Whistle button to 
bring him up to you and retreat up the stairs. He will come up the 
first set of steps, pausing on the landing, then turn to go back down. 
Grab him just after he turns around, pull him back up the stairs to a 
dark corner and K.O. him. 

A second guard might have approached when you whistled but only one 
guard will proceed up the stairs. Repeat the tactic for the second 
guard. 

Alternative strategy: If you mess up grabbing one, you will end up 
having to retreat, very likely under fire. Quickly K.O. the guard you 
failed to grab and retreat up the steps and around the railing to the 
far side where it ends in a dead end. Two other guards will come up 
the steps, find the body, and then look for you. As it is completely 
dark, they cannot see or sense you until they are right on top of you. 
Try sneaking up on them one at a time and KO'ing them. Even if you 
mess up, a quick squeeze of the right trigger will smash them with 
Sam's elbow. Done quickly enough, they will not get off a shot. If 
they do get some bullets into you, remember the health kit in the 
bathroom down the hall. You can restore yourself to full health before 
going back downstairs. 

Alternative strategy: if you opt to save the two hostages held by that 
guard yourself, know that if you mess up the guard will shoot them and 
the mission will fail. Go back to the room where Shelton is and open 
the door to the room where the hostages are. The terrorist is on the 
far side of the room. You can shoot out the nearest light on the 
ceiling, but if you shoot the second one he gets alarmed and hoses 
both of the hostages with his rifle. You're gonna have to sneak up on 
him and hope the hostages don't inadvertently warn him. If you mess up 
the grab quickly hit him with the elbow. Hitting a guard with an elbow 
once stuns them; they will recover in about 4 seconds if you don't hit 
them again; the second hit with the elbow is what K.O.'s them. 

At the bottom of the stairs, depending on if a second guard was 
alerted by your whistle or not, look to the left and there will be one 
or two guards playing dice about 30 feet away in a well lighted area. 
If your whistle drew a second guard, there is one guard kneeling 
there. If only one guard has been KO'd so far, then two guards will be 
seen squatting there. 

Shoot out the light to your left near the doorway. This usually makes 
one of the guards get up and begin patrolling. Retreat up the stairs 
and whistle to draw him to you. Like the first guard, he will come a 
bit up the stairs to the spot where you were crouching when you 
whistled and after a few seconds he will turn around and start back 
down the stairs. That's when you grab him. K.O. him and hide his body. 

Now there is one more guard left, still crouching down and looking at 
the dice on the far side of the room. Shoot out more lights on the 
left hand side of the room and that will get his attention. Use the 
whistle tactic to draw him to you and K.O. him. If you get wounded, 
don't worry there is another medical kit in the room at the bottom of 
the stairs. 

Right behind where the guards were playing their dice game is a narrow 
corridor that leads to another hallway. You'll see a model ship 
sitting on a table next to a light on the wall. Shoot out all the 
lights on this hallway. There is a big double door on the right 
halfway down the hallway. You especially want to shoot out the lantern 
hanging over the doorway. 

Use the Optic Cable underneath the double doors and note the two 
automatic searchlights scanning the courtyard. Open the door, save the 
checkpoint, and staying in the shadows, slowly move forward.

There is an open gate right in front of you leading into the 
courtyard....which is being systematically swept by the searchlights 
and is being watched by a guard with night vision goggles. There are 
two avenues to the far left and right that look very appealing; until 
you realize the left hand one is being monitored by an automatic 
tripod mounted machine gun, and that shooting out lights on the right 
hand side alerts all the guards and you lose the element of surprise 
and the guard with the NV can see you even in the dark and starts 
riddling you with bullets. Plus it turns out that right hand side ends 
in a dead end, so you got spotted for nothing. 

Lambert will come on the radio to let you know about the NV'd guard. 
He's on the second floor of the building to the right in a lighted 
doorway. You also see Ingrid Karlthson turn on a light in a room right 
next to the one the guard is standing in. Lambert then tells Sam 
something he knows he isn't going to like - the only way to keep the 
NV'd guard from seeing him is to..............STAY IN THE CIRCLE OF 
LIGHT CAST BY ONE OF THE SEARCHLIGHTS. 

Yes my fellow gamers, for once the light actually IS your friend. Use 
the light beam from the right hand searchlight and after studying it's 
pattern walk Sam forward into it and move him so he stays inside of it 
until he reaches the other side of the courtyard. Go up the steps into 
the open gate and move to the left into the darkened area and shoot 
out the light over the doorway.

OC the door, then go up the steps to the left. There is a medical kit 
on the wall at the top of the stairs and then another set of stairs 
leading up. Shoot out the ceiling light and slowly proceed up the 
second set of stairs. Turn around halfway up the stairs and look - you 
will see the NV'd guard with his sniper rifle in the balcony facing 
away from you. Sneak up behind him and K.O. him. Then after using the 
OC to make sure she's alone, open the door to your left and before 
talking to Ingrid, dump the guard's body in a corner.

After your interlude with Ingrid, save at the checkpoint and then get 
good news from Lambert: They have pinpointed the coordinates to a 
cryogenics lab in Paris, France. Also, Delta Force is on the way to 
rescue the other hostages, so the leash is now off as Lambert tells 
Sam he can now shoot all the terrorists he wants.

Then Grimsdotter chimes in to say your extraction is waiting, but 
Cohen doesn't want to land the Osprey in the village with all the 
searchlights on. You need to turn two of the searchlights off before 
Cohen will find the nerve to come and get you out of here. 

Objective: Kill the Searchlights and reach the extraction point for 
pickup

Go back down both sets of stairs and at the bottom of the second 
stairs there is doorway to the right. Go through it slowly, there is a 
guard on patrol nearby. Move along the fence to the left until you 
come to a very dark area near the first searchlight tower. 

Looking forward will allow you to see two guards moving around on 
patrol between some buildings. You only need to worry about the 
nearest one. Wait until he's close and the other guard is not in sight 
and either K.O. him or put a bullet into his head. Hide the body and 
then shoot out the lantern at the top of the searchlight tower, climb 
up it, and switch off the searchlight's power. 

That's one down, one more to go. Proceed forward down the area the 
guard was patrolling to where the second guard is disappearing on his 
patrol between to buildings to the left. Shoot out the two lights on 
the building to the left as you pass by, and make sure you do that 
when the second guard is not visible. 

Wait for him to come back and take him from behind. At the end of his 
patrol on this side he stands facing the fence for about 5 seconds, so 
that's plenty of time to get up behind him. You can shoot him in the 
head after you K.O. if you want to. Remember, these punks killed 
Americans when they seized the embassy!

Note: after playing this level several more times, I have discovered 
that these last two guards are not that easy to sneak up on. The first 
time through I got them both from behind with a K.O.. Since then they 
have always sensed me before I could grab them. If you can't grab them 
successfully the first few times, you are better off just shooting 
them in the back of the head from a few feet away. Hey, nobody said 
war was fair.

Well now you see the second search tower with it's light scanning the 
heavens. Cohen sees it too, which is why you're ride still is not 
here, so you better go shut it off.  Shoot the lantern out at the top 
of the ladder and then switch the searchlight off. Proceed up the 
stairs ahead and around the corner. Look, you're back in the 
waterfront area with the piers ahead. 

Move down the pier and then to the left - you'll see the Osprey 
piloted by Cohen hovering over the water. Go down the steps and into 
the rubber boat and......

Congratulations! You have completed the first mission of this fine 
game! America just KNEW it could count on you to get the job done!


Level 2: Paris, France

Saulnier Cryogenics Lab / March 30th, 2006, 04:12 Hours

An enemy agent operating under the alias 'Mortified Penguin' has 
broken into the Saulnier Cryogenics Lab with a gang of French and 
Syrian mercenaries. Trace their path of intrusion to uncover their 
purpose and the identity of 'Mortified Penguin'.

Main Objective: Identify Sadono's chief mercenary

Present Objective: Infiltrate Saulnier Cryogenics Lab

The level begins with Sam in the underground railway tunnels that run 
underneath the Saulnier Cryogenics Lab. He's decked out in a cool 
neoprene black ninja suit and ready to go to work. Lambert come on the 
radio tell Sam he'll have time for sightseeing later and then tells 
Sam they don't even know if 'Mortified Penguin' and his followers are 
still in the building. 

Sam is facing a bright railway light behind a grate as the dialogue 
ends. Move him forward and he'll automatically climb down into the 
open manhole. Once on the ground below, turn him around and head down 
the corridor to where a lantern can be seen sitting on a barrel. 

Every 30 seconds or so a train will come flashing by on another track 
on the opposite side of the far wall, and lights from those trains 
will illuminate the area as they pass by, so you have to be ready for 
them. Wait awhile and you will see a guard on patrol stopping next to 
the barrel before turning around and going back the way he came. Go 
into Wall Mode on the left hand wall and after the guard has turned 
around and started back and is facing away from you hit the white 
inventory button and equip the pistol; Sam starts the level with the 
SC- 20K equipped - then hit the 'X' button and equip the pistol. Wait 
until the guard is all the way down close to the parked train engine, 
but before he turns around to face you, and shoot out the lantern. 

Now when the guard proceeds down the tunnel towards you the next time, 
the area is so dark he will not see you. Let him get close and grab 
him and K.O. him. Or Shoot him. Or do both. 

Then hide the body. Proceeding up onto the platform, shoot out all the 
lights running along the left hand side using the SC-20K. Shoot the 
last 4 from as far away as you can, because once you get halfway up 
the platform the game spawns 2 terrorists who will come around the far 
corner and start patrolling. You don't want them to have any light to 
see by when they show up. There are two lanterns inside the abandoned 
train cars as well and by shooting them out you have completely 
darkened the entire area. The only thing you have to worry about now 
is the trains that roar by and send rays of light shooting everywhere 
every 30 seconds. Slowly move up the platform and when the two 
terrorists show up, wait for them to split up. One will come down the 
platform toward you and the other will step out of sight behind the 
last train car. Wait until the approaching terrorist stops, and before 
he turns around and starts to go back the way he came, drop him with a 
head shot. The other guard won't hear, so move up to where the first 
guard fell and when the other guard steps back into sight drop him 
too. 

Now head to where the two now departed terrorists came from and go 
around the burning barrels and turn another corner. You will come to a 
wall with a huge hole in it and beyond the hole a real inferno is 
blazing. 

This is obviously where the terrorists got into Saulnier: they blew a 
hole in the wall and just walked right on in. And apparently set a 
nice big bonfire to make sure nobody followed their trail.  

Approach the opening and crouch down. Soon Lambert will say Sam's 
temperature readings are off the charts and suggests shooting the 
overhead pipes to release water. I've found the pistol does not really 
work well for this; you have to shoot a lot of ammo. Use the SC- 20K 
and shoot the pipes until water comes spurting out of them to douse 
the flames. Aim for the handwheel on the left.  

Proceed through the now cascading water and into the room beyond. Go 
past the buckled and toppled shelves to the door against the far wall. 
As you do so, Lambert says Grimsdotter needs you to access the 
buildings security systems. 

Objective: Access the security terminal

Switch off the lights and use the OC on the door. You will see a guard 
on patrol on the other side. Watch the patrol pattern - he moves from 
one side of the room to the other. Wait until he is on the other side 
of the room, open the door , aim at the light on the wall just behind 
the door, shoot it out, and move beneath it into the corner. Now wait 
as the guard comes back toward you. You are in complete darkness, he 
reaches the end of his patrol just in front of the door, about 5 feet 
away. I found with the SC-20K you can use the scope to pick which eye 
to put the round into, the detail is that sharp.

I chose the left. 

Hide the body in the same corner you shot from and head to the other 
side of the room. Go to the door and use the switch next to it to 
switch off the lights and then use the computer on the desk. I got 
nothing from the computer, but maybe that was just me. Many times you 
get good info out of running computers so always check them. 

Now use the OC on the door and note that several guards are patrolling 
the next room, which has many computers in it. 

This room is very brightly lit. Darkness! We need darkness! Here's how 
you do it: Keep watching on the OC until the guard walking up and down 
the area in front of the door is at the far end of the room and 
disappears from sight for a few moments. Then, turn the OC off, 
quickly open the door, equip the SC-20K and move back while aiming. 
Before the door shuts, shoot out the nearest light on the ceiling. 

Go back to the OC and look again. The guard may stand under the light 
for a second when he comes back, but the door is how shut and he has 
no idea why the light is out. After a few seconds he will resume his 
patrol. 

Do it again. Wait until he disappears, open the door, and shoot out 
the second light and let the door close again. Now the corner to the 
left of the door of the next room will be dark enough so that the 
patrolling guard will not see you when he passes by. Use the OC, wait 
until he's not visible and then open the door and slowly move into the 
room. Wait a little distance from the door, and as soon as it closes 
move into the corner next to it. You have a few more seconds until the 
guard making a patrol around the room approaches close to you. There 
are two guards in the room; one stays near the center of the room in 
the computer areas and the other makes a square patrol pattern all the 
way around the room. 

When the patrolling guard is on the right hand side of the room in the 
dark area shoot him between the eyes with the SC-20K. Sometimes the 
other guard sees something's wrong and sounds an alarm, and sometimes 
not. If he does sound an alarm, he will begin patrolling and move 
right up close to you for an easy shot. If he hears nothing, he will 
continue tinkering around with the computers. Stand up and draw a bead 
on him when he's still and shoot him in the head. 

(I know, I know, you shoot a lot of people in the head in this game. 
But remember: they're TERRORISTS! They could have stayed home! On the 
family farm! They CHOSE to be here, performing their nefarious deeds. 
So don't feel bad about taking them out. They are armed. And you are 
checking them out a hell of a lot faster and easier than many of their 
unarmed victims)

One of these dead terrorists drops a data stick, so make sure you pick 
it up. Hide the bodies in the dark corner next to the door and move to 
the opposite side of the room. Switch the lights off and then OC the 
door. You will see another door to the left. Open the door and then OC 
the next door. You will see yet....another door! And a med-kit on the 
wall. In case you messed up and got shot a few times by those two 
guards in the computer room, here's your chance for a full health bar. 

Pick the lock, open the door, save the checkpoint, switch the light 
off, and use the health kit if you need it and then OC the new door. 
Can you follow all that? Good! 

From the OC you will see a medical type room with a malfunctioning, 
rapidly flashing light on the far side of the room. Open the door and 
slowly move to the right and crouch in the corner. Right after you 
come into the room three terrorists will take up positions on the far 
side of the room. They will begin moving slowly towards you. 

Retreat back through the door you entered by and let them have the 
room. Give them time to get comfortable as you watch them under the 
door with the OC. There is one who comes nearest the door, apart from 
the other into the darkest part of the room. Take him first. 

Wait until he is walking toward you, open the door and shoot him. Then 
use the scope on the SC- 20K to take out the other from across the 
room. Pick up the data stick one of the terrorists dropped and hide 
the bodies in the very dark corner on the far side of the room. 
Sometimes one of the terrorists will also drop some ammo. 

Alternative strategy: if you like your carnage very up close, do this: 
enter the room when the patrolling terrorist is on the far side, and 
climb up the pipe on the left hand side. Bring Sam's leg's up and move 
him down the pipe. Go too fast and the terrorist in the room will hear 
him. On the far side of the room drop Sam down before he gets to the 
bright light on the opposite wall. SILENT drop him. Now equip the SC-
20K. You will be able to see at least one of the other terrorists in 
the next room through the clear curtain that separates the rooms. 
Shoot him in the head, then....move to the side as the second 
terrorist comes charging into view. Drop him. Then turn and take down 
the patrolling terrorist as he comes at you from behind. Intense, huh? 
Three tangos down in less than 5 seconds.  

The next room contains corpses that were being prepared for freezing. 
Move into it and go right to switch off the lights. Then move left 
through the next doorway. OC the double doors and note the long narrow 
hallway with lighted plate glass windows to the left. Stay crouched 
going into the room. Terrorists have begun shooting at the computers 
in the lighted up room to the left and Lambert will frantically say 
that we need the access codes - shoot the terrorists and stop them; if 
you get shot a few times in this fire fight, remember there is a full 
health kit just a few rooms back. Go get health before you access the 
computer at the far end of the room. Once you access the computer, 
Lambert and Grim will tell you what a good job you did and that it 
looks like 'Modified Penguin' was very interested in some of the 
patient files. Then, Grimsdotter will say the terrorists are about to 
remote trigger a bomb further down the hall. A timer starts and you 
now have 1:30 to find the bomb and defuse it. Can't you just FEEL the 
suspense?  

As you start to move away from the computer, a Checkpoint comes up. 
Save the game and head out of the room and down the hall to the left. 
As you look down the hall two terrorists will come out and start 
toward you. Drop them both. A diversion Camera or a smoke grenade will 
do the trick.  Pick the lock of the door to the left of where the two 
terrorists were standing. The bomb is taped to the boiler opposite the 
door when it opens. Approach it and when the 'Defuse Bomb' window pops 
up, press the 'A' button to defuse the bomb. 

(Note: if you are low on health or need a diversion camera or smoke 
grenade, there is a closet door to  your immediate left when you exit 
the room where you accessed the computer.  Quickly run in there and 
grab the items on the floor.)

Lambert then tells you your next objective is to access the companies 
database, which is one floor above you.

Objective: Access the database.

Hide the bodies of the dead terrorists in this room and exit and go 
down the hall. (For fun, use Sam's binocular view and check out the 
cool and realistic looking French emergency procedures poster on the 
wall of the boiler room)

(Game Improvement! Sam can now open doors while carrying bodies! How 
many times when playing the first game did you desperately try to pick 
up a guard's body and get to the door only to have it swing shut in 
your face? Then you had to set the body down and open the door all 
over again. Another great improvement!)

Move down the hall to where the two terrorists came from and OC the 
door there. Looks like a long stairwell leading up. Brightly lit, too. 
Move slow then. 

Open the door, and a load screen pops up. Save the checkpoint. Look up 
ahead and see the red dot on the wall at the top of the stairs. That's 
a motion detector. Move too fast in front of it and an alarm will go 
off, bringing some guards. Slowly move right in front of the motion 
detector. If you set it off there will be a blinding white flash. If 
that happens retreat post haste and set up a defensive position at the 
door below. If it doesn't go off, continue slowly up the stairs until 
you get to the door at the top. OC the door. It reveals a well lit but 
empty area. Go in slowly and quietly. Shoot out the ceiling light 
right above you. Look to the left. There is a corner nearby, and some 
double doors. Go into Wall Mode on the wall next to the door you just 
went through and slide down to the corner and peek. 

There are several guards around the corner. They are split up. If you 
retreat near the door and then use the Whistle button, one of them 
should come down into the dark and turn the corner and approach you. 
Drop him and hide him in the dark corner near the door. 

Then back into Wall Mode and peek around the corner again. Sometimes 
none of the other guards are now visible. But they are there. Look at 
the double doors again and note the ceiling light you can see beyond 
them. Shoot the light out with the SC-20K. Approach the double doors 
and pick the lock. A doctor's body lies on the far side of the hall. 
Shoot out the small light bulbs near the floor with the pistol; save 
the SC20K ammo for later.  While you are doing that a mercenary will 
come on the radio, intercepted as he talks about a Saulnier security 
guard who has managed to lock himself inside a vault.

(Note: If you make your way down the corridor to the left, shooting 
out the lights and moving slowly past the motion dectector on the wall 
to the left, and enter the open double doors on this side and shoot 
out the over head light and the lights on the floor.  Now you will be 
able to SEE the mercenary scanning the security camera monitors on the 
wall as he makes his report)

The door to the database room is to your left. OC the door and note 
there are 6 cameras in this room. All are rotating and looking around. 
You have to take most of them out. The two on this side of the room, 
then one in the middle and one on the right side of the room near the 
database computer you need to access. If you mess up and one of the 
cameras spots you two guards are going to come after you. 

Take out the lights on the near side of the room and then use the 
computer to your right. Lambert and Grimsdotter will narrow down the 
the info to show that 'Modified Penguin' was especially interested in 
the files of 8 of Sauliner's clients. Turns out all were frozen in the 
last six months and all were cheapskates: they paid only to have their 
brains frozen, not their bodies. Lambert makes a crack about Sam 
searching for French Brains. 

Objective: Access The Limited Storage Facility

Go back through the door you entered by, and approach the door with 
the keypad; check your OPSAT because now the code is found there. 

And it's also found in your objectives window once you look at your 
notes; a GAME IMPROVEMENT noted by 

You cannot OC this door, so enter cautiously. Save the checkpoint, and 
see the big spotlight up ahead that is lighting up one of the 
terrorists like a Christmas tree. Note that the terrorist is standing 
right next to a motion detector. You need to drop this guy with one 
shot; if you don't, two more terrorists will show up and things will 
get hectic. After you've shot the terrorist in the head, switch off 
the spotlight, get the two Air Ring Foils on the table, and use the 
med kit on the wall if you need it. 

Alternative Strategy: Switch the spotlight off first and KO the guard 
when he comes to investigate. 

Proceed through the door slowly. As you slowly move to the next door , 
don't forget to pick up the dead terrorist's data stick. You can glean 
lots of clues from the data you pick up. 

OC the door. Another long stairwell. Go up it slow and note there is a 
camera. Shoot the camera and move slowly closer. Look, a wall mine! 
Approach it.... (here's that great word again!) SLOWLY and disarm it 
by pressing the 'A' button when the light on the front of the mine is 
green. Press the 'A' button when the light on the mine is RED and you 
are one dead stealth operative. 

Pocket the mine and continue up the stairwell. OC the door at the top. 
Use Sam's night vision and you will see the two guards easier. One is 
patrolling, the other is fiddling around with a computer. Go back to 
normal mode, back up and shoot out the closest lights. You need the 
stairwell dark as you enter the room. Wait until the patrolling guard 
is in the next room to the right and enter slowly and move to the left 
of the door and face the wall. Watch your light meter and make sure it 
stays slid all the way to the left. There is a light source close by 
and you don't want any of it to find you. 

When the patrolling guard comes back into the room, slowly follow him 
down the length of the room past the other guy who is still meddling 
with the computer. While the patrolling guard is out of the room, take 
out the guy at the computer with a head shot. When the other guard 
comes back, drop him too. 

Now use the computer, check the data, and then head into the other 
room the guard was patrolling. The computer gave you the access code 
to the keypad door you now discover. Enter the code and proceed 
inside. 

Brief cut scene and I hope you don't have a problem with brains lying 
strewn across the floor. Sam tells Lambert he's found the brains he 
was looking for. Seems like 'Mortified Penguin' was actually more 
interested in the refrigeration unit the brains were stored in than in 
the brains themselves.  He took the unit and just dumped the brains 
out on the floor.  Lambert now tells Sam to locate the wounded 
security guard because this man managed to get a picture of 'Mortified 
Penguin' with his cell phone. 

Objective: Find Francois (that's the security guard's name) and take 
his cell phone.

Use the med kit on the wall to the right if you need it. Move past all 
the.....ugh!....brains on the floor towards the cooler door ahead. 
Save at the Checkpoint. You will need to equip Sam's thermal vision. 
Pause at the door and carefully note what you can see. One terrorist 
is clearly visible. Move forward slowly to the left...Aha, what's 
this? A turret gun! Hey, and if you turn the IFF off, guess what 
happens? That Turret gun will shoot anybody that is front of it. Can 
you see where this is going?

Move over to the turret gun's control box and when the interact window 
comes up, select 'Disable IFF' and exit. Watch the turret gun blow the 
terrorist away. 

When he's dead, Deactivate the turret gun and move forward. Check the 
guard's body; I picked up a sticky shocker. Move forward to the left. 
There is a big metal door. 

Use the OC to look under it. More freezing mist in the air. Keep the 
thermal vision turned on. Lock pick the door and ease through. There 
are 2 terrorists at the far end of the catwalk you now find yourself 
on. If you have plenty of ammo left, just snipe them. If not, sneak up 
and go for close range shots. If you have plenty of health, try a K.O.

After you take out the two guards, move carefully into the next room 
where all the lab rats are because there is a wall mine to your right 
halfway down. Use the switch on the left near the door to switch off 
the lights. Take the wall mine and then use the med kit on the far 
wall if you need it. 

Enter the room to the left and save at the checkpoint. Climb up on the 
medicine cabinet and enter the ceiling system. 

You get a brief cut scene of the terrorists shooting at the vault 
where Francois is hiding. 

Move down the ceiling area and turn left and drop down into the vault 
where you see Francois lying wounded on the floor. Pick up the ammo on 
the way over to him and talk to him.

Francois helpfully hands over the cell phone and the mysterious 
'Mortified Penguin' is identified as one Norman Soth, a man with some 
CIA connections. Then Sam is told to extract. As you exit the vault 
back through the roof, it becomes apparent Francois is about to be 
killed by an explosion the terrorists are setting. You can simply 
leave Francois to his fate and take off (which leads to a stern 
lecture from Lambert) or you can save him. 

To save him, equip the SC-20K with the smoke grenades (hold down the 
white button to bring up the inventory and then cycle through the 
options for the Rifle with the directional pad). You have a one minute 
time limit to get up on the box, jump back up into the ventilation 
shaft, move CAREFULLY to a spot where you are right over the three 
terrorists setting the bomb, with the opening you originally climbed 
through to your back. Now, shoot the smoke grenade down right on top 
of the three terrorists and then immediately move backwards as fast as 
you can and drop through the opening. In 8 seconds or so the smoke 
will overcome all 3 terrorists and the countdown will stop.

Climb back up and look down. All 3 terrorists will be out. You can 
shoot each in the head just to make sure - the SEALs would. Shoot the 
pipe next to the barrels so the vapors begin to stream out so you can 
clear out the ventilation shaft. Then proceed straight down the 
ventilation shaft to the end and drop through the opening there. Move 
forward towards the white van with the green stripe on the side 
and......

You've just completed the second level of the game! Way to go! The 
security of the Free World is obviously in good hands!



Level 3: Paris-Nice, France

Hesperia Railways, Paris to Nice, France / April 2nd, 2006, 21:52 
Hours

CIA-trained operative Norman Soth has been located on a southbound 
Hespiria Railways train, accompanied by a squad of French/Syrian 
mercenaries.

Objective: Locate and question Norman Soth

A most dramatic opening to the level as we see Sam dropping from a 
helicopter to land on top of a moving train.  You can drop into either 
of the two trap doors in front of Sam - there's not much down there, 
truth to be told. Or you can move him along the top of the train car 
to the end and have him jump down and OC the door to the next car.

The OC will reveal a dimly lit car and if you look close you with the 
night vision you can just make out somebody moving around at the far 
end of the car. Open the door and slowly enter.  

As you do so, Lambert will inform you that since we still don't' know 
whether Soth is a friendly or not, you are under strict non- lethal 
parameters. Also, Lambert tells you that if there is a single alarm, 
the mission is over and that if Soth sees you before you see him, the 
mission will also be over.  

Shoot out the light to the left that is throwing it's beams to the 
middle of the car and the conductor behind the screen will come out to 
investigate.  K.O. him. For fun, go open the cage door and look at the 
two magazines lying on the floor. Does one of them 
look....well.....FAMILIAR?  Leave it to UBiSoft to insert a shameless 
plug like this.  The door beyond is lock jammed, so retreat and go to 
the trap door in the floor.  Push the 'A' button to make Sam climb 
down onto the pipe beneath the train.  

Alternative strategy:  To do it without KO'ing the conductor, shoot 
the light, wait in the corner while he comes out at and stares at the 
now shot out light, then shadow him as he turns and goes back to the 
screened cage.  Quickly tap the 'A' button when the Interact window 
comes up as Sam gets to the trap door in the floor.  He should climb 
down onto the pipe beneath the train before the conductor can get into 
the cage, close the door and turn around. This way is FAR trickier. He 
has an alarm panel right next to him in that cage so many times he is 
going to go over and press it when he sees you and it's mission over.

Once under the train, move Sam along the pipe until the interact 
window comes back up.  DO NOT OPEN THE TRAP DOOR. Instead,use the OC 
and watch the guy standing on top of the trap door light his cigarette 
and then sashay on out of sight.   

Had you opened the trap door first, the passenger would have sounded 
the alert and ended the mission.

Once he's left, climb up into the room. As you do so, Lambert gives 
you some bad news:  He and Grim have traced the credit cards and found 
they have been used to buy two seats in the coach car as well as 
Soth's ticket - there are two terrorists in the passenger car.  

Go to the control panel on the wall next to the map and unlock the 
train's side doors.  Shoot out the ceiling light and then exit the 
room.  To the right is the coach car with innocent passengers and two 
terrorists.  

One of the terrorists is having a conversation with the other as you 
look right. There are two different ways to get through this section.  

The first way riskiest way: it is to stay inside the car.  Go to the 
light switch in front of you and turn it off. K.O. whoever comes to 
investigate. Best way: hide in the corner, let the person turn the 
light back on and then grab them and K.O. them and hide them in the 
room you just climbed up into. Then go turn the light back off. 
Usually two men come to investigate and then nobody gets up when the 
light goes off.

When the light stays off and no one else comes to 
investigate....SLOWLY....make your way through the car making sure to 
avoid all the small reading lights. Stop and hide behind chairs that 
don't have reading lights on and take your time.  

The second way is to go the left, turn left again and open the side 
door with the pipe that allows Sam to climb out onto the edge of the 
train car's roof and hand over hand his way down the length of the car 
from the outside.  This way is not without it's own risks; every 5 
seconds the train whizzes by lampposts that will illuminate Sam to 
anybody inside who is looking towards the windows. Plus another train 
will come racing by going the opposite way and almost pull Sam off 
into the air with it's powerful slipstream.  

The key to making this way work is to wait until the old guy with the 
goatee at the first window goes and sits down; the girl putting on 
lipstick turns her head and goes to sleep, and the two terrorists 
sitting by the last window can only be bypassed by having Sam move 
slowly across the window in that 5 second interval before the next 
lamppost comes whizzing by and lights him up.  I failed this mission 7 
times before I figured out it was the lamps lighting me up that were 
revealing me to the terrorists; I was trying to cross at the wrong 
time and every single darn time I would be halfway across the window 
and a lamp would highlight me. So the timing is crucial here.  

Whichever way you go, you get to the door leading to the next train 
car beyond. OC the door. Enter, save the checkpoint and move on.  

As you get ready to OC the next door, Lambert radios in with info: 
Brunton's chums have come through: seems that Soth has a prosthetic 
right leg from a disagreement with a land-mine and therefore he will 
show up differently on Sam's thermal vision; where his right leg would 
be nothing will read.  

The OC reveals a brightly lit room. Enter, shoot out the ceiling 
light, and the display light to totally darken the room in case you 
need a dark place to retreat to.  Then look through the glass door and 
watch the conductor head down the hallway away from you.  He's headed 
for the bathroom.  I always K.O. him so I don't have a problem running 
into him later.  First, you have to get by the first room where the 
passenger's door is open.  

Open the door and go into Wall Mode on the right wall. Turn on your 
thermal vision and slide down to the open doorway and peek. This 
passenger sitting on the left hand side of the room reading a 
newspaper has both his legs.  He is not Soth. Peek again and press the 
'A' to make Sam perform that nifty SWAT turn and proceed on down the 
wall. Come out of Wall Mode and use the Optic Cable with the thermal 
vision on to check out the inside of the next room.  There is a man in 
the room standing as he talks on his cell phone; his right side is 
facing you and you can see he has his right leg.  Not Soth.  

Continue down to the next room.  Turn on the OC, look with the thermal 
vision.... Bingo!  This guy's right leg has no heat signature. It's 
Soth.  But pass him up for now and go down two more doors and OC it to 
show the Conductor ah....in a highly compromised situation. Open the 
door and swiftly K.O. him.  The only door you haven't OC'd yet is an 
empty room: hide the Conductor's body in there. 

Now go back to Soth's room and open the door up and interrogate him. 
He's actually napping when you enter in, so he won't wake up until you 
hit the 'Talk To' button. He will stand up and start giving you some 
B.S. story and then has to take a phone call and he'll be right back. 
He's a pretty cool customer because he acts like he's woken up on 
trains all the time by guys wearing black ninja suits. Off he goes. 
It's obvious his story is B.S. because the man he claims is his 
handler has been on sick leave for 16 months.  Note that you can see 
one of his bodyguards/terrorist's outside the door waiting for him. If 
you try to follow Soth immediately without accessing his laptop first 
the mission fails.  

Lambert tells you to access the laptop computer and then follow Soth 
and use your Laser Mic to eavesdrop on his conversation. Lambert is 
pretty sure that it's Sadano that Soth will call.  

After accessing the computer, turn and go out down the hall past the 
bathroom and into the next car. You only have 40 seconds to get into 
position to laser mic this call, so upon opening the door and seeing 
the bodyguards and Soth inside, move to the right behind the blacked 
out bar, equip the laser mic and press the 'X' button to use it.  

You may have to have Sam stand up to intercept the conversation.  Once 
the call ends, if you have been standing, crouch back down.  Soth will 
leave the car and take one of the terrorists with him.  

Lambert comes on to discuss some of the more pertinent sections of the 
intercepted phone call. Then Sam is told it's time for extraction. 
He's to get topside so the helicopter can come pick him up.

First, Sam has to get by the guard at the far end of the car in the 
well lighted area who is staring out the window.

Move around the bar and shoot out the first light in the ceiling you 
come to. Then use the Whistle button to draw the guard to you. Here's 
the important point: After you K.O. this guard, Soth is going to radio 
that there is an intruder and the other guard that left is going to 
come after you with a rifle.  Go and crouch in the dark right hand 
corner next to the door that the guard is going to have to enter by. 
As he runs past you into the room run up behind him and hit him in the 
back of the head with an elbow.  I got an one- strike K.O. that way.  

Enter the next train car and halfway down on the right is a ladder. Go 
up it and open up the trap door at the top and move along the top of 
the train car while rolling every now and then to make a difficult 
target because there are TWO helicopters hovering near the train; one 
is the Osprey here to extract you and the other is the enemy that is 
shooting at you.

To perform an evasive roll while moving, press the left thumb stick up 
to make Sam run in a crouch and then press the 'B'button. The Osprey 
will shoot down the enemy helicopter just before the 'Jump Rope' 
window appears. Hit the 'A' button and Sam will jump up and catch the 
rope and hang underneath the chopper. Does this guy have a strong grip 
or what?

Congratulations! You have another level under your belt!  The 
President can sleep easy at night knowing you're on the job!


Level 4: Geula District Street Market, Jerusalem, Israel 

Main Objective: Identify the Biological Agent

Info:  Third Echelon has linked Suhadi Sadono's 'Springfield 
Demonstration' to the Black Market purchase of an unknown biological 
agent.  

Rendez-vous with Israeli Intelligence Agent Dahlia Tal in order to 
infiltrate the black market.

Save the checkpoint and then move forward to talk to Coen while in 
this dimly lit canal. Coen informs Sam he won't see many civilians out 
tonight because of a curfew.  Go up the stairs ahead and maneuver your 
way around the circle of light cast my the streetlight.  Note the 
guard up ahead and avoid him. You do not need to knock anybody out 
early in this level; it can be sneaked through with little hassle.  

Lambert tells Sam his first objective is to retrieve his SC-20K, which 
has been sent to a local weapons master for upgrading.  

Objective: Retrieve the SC-20K

Move to the left against the dark side of the building move up to the 
corner and go to Wall Mode.  There is an open doorway ahead revealing 
a very brightly lit room.  Peek around the doorway and then do the 
SWAT Turn (remember: peek by pressing the left thumb stick to the 
right and then press the 'A' button).  

Note the guard in the iron gate area ahead that begins to patrol.  He 
will pass by close to you but he won't see you.  Neither will the 
other guard further down the street, if you do this right.  

Still in Wall Mode, put Sam into a crouch by pressing the 'B' button 
and move him down the wall slowly.  When you reach the point where the 
wall moves out at a right angle and can slide down no further, go out 
of Wall Mode and scan around for the guards and watch their patrol 
routes.  

When the nearer guard passes by you headed back towards the lighted up 
doorway, and his back is now to you, and the other guard further down 
the street has turned around to head down the stairs at the far end, 
also giving you his back, move out against the wall again, go into 
Wall Mode and slide down further.  Pass under the lighted window and 
past the two darkened windows. Note that the wall recedes again in 
front of you and there are two brightly lighted windows.  The lights 
from the two windows are being thrown against some boxes on the right 
hand side of the street. Note the area between the boxes and the far 
wall - that's where you want to go.  Wait until the 2nd guard has 
turned and started to go down the steps. You have about 8 seconds to 
get across the street, move around behind the boxes, find the dark 
spot in the doorway back there and go into Wall Mode again before the 
guard turns around.  

Once you are safely against the door, watch the guard come strolling 
up the steps and pass by. 

As soon as he passes by, go out of Wall Mode, go down the steps and 
around the splash of light from the street lights and find one of two 
dark spots halfway down this new section of the street - one is to the 
left and one is to the right. You will see another guard ahead 
crossing into a doorway, but if your light meter stays on it's darkest 
setting he won't see you.  

Once both guards are gone, move to the left of the doorway where the 
lamp sways in the wind above the archway.  After making sure the coast 
is clear, shoot out the light.  

Check back to make sure the guard behind you isn't coming down the 
steps because now you have to move just for a second through some 
light cast from the store windows opposite the archway,and you can't 
shoot out those lights.  If the guard is standing back there he will 
see you.

Once you have passed through the archway, you hear a conversation 
begin between two Jewish gentlemen as the guard patrols nearby.  Stay 
close to the wall on the left hand side and enter this courtyard. 
After a few seconds the two men will sit on the park bench and 
continue talking while the guard patrols. Watch his pattern.  Your 
exit is at the far end on the right.  You need to move down the wall 
but not all the way to the left hand corner, because note how the 
guard goes and stands very close to that corner as part of his route.  

You want to wait behind the two guys on the bench until the guard has 
been standing in that corner for a second, then follow him slowly when 
he turns and moves off to the right toward the exit and then turns 
back to head for the archway at the other end of the courtyard.  

Slowly move through the exit, and even though your light meter goes up 
to 1, the two guys on the bench don't see you. Move down the steps and 
find the double doors on the left where it's nice and dark and crouch 
down there.  If you were watching, you saw yet another guard in the 
doorway ahead turn and go through.  

Wait until you don't see the previous guard's shadow on the wall 
behind you, so he's far enough away not to hear as you shoot out the 
lamp over the next doorway.  

Make your way through the archway and you will see another little 
park/courtyard type deal with a patrolling guard and a civilian 
sitting at a table.  

Part of the guard's patrol brings him right to the entrance to this 
courtyard, so make sure you have the night vision on so you can see if 
he's blocking it. Wait around the corner until you see him stand in 
the entrance and then turn around to head across the courtyard.  Enter 
in now and head down the wall to the left to where a big wooden square 
shaped bin is located. Squatting right next to this thing close to the 
wall is a good spot because the guard never runs into you here. Watch 
his pattern.  

There are two alternative paths through this courtyard.  Once is: 
behind the boxes against the right hand wall, which is the really 
risky one because they are well lighted on one side, and many times as 
you crouch behind them you cannot see the guard.  It can be done but 
you better take your time.  

The better way is to stick to the shadows and only move when the guard 
is at the other end of the courtyard and not facing you.  Your goal is 
to make it to the shop entrance at the far end on the right hand side 
from where you are now.  

It's best to wait until the guard has come up close to the bin, then 
turned around to go down the wall to the left. Follow him at a 
distance of about 10 feet.  He goes all the way down to the corner, 
then turns right.  Follow him and then he turns in and heads for the 
doorway where you entered.  Keep going straight and the shop entrance 
is now ahead of you.  Head for the left- hand side of the entrance, 
and crouch in the dark corner. You need to MAKE SURE the guard is not 
looking toward the shop entrance before you act.

When he's back at the wooden bin on the other end of the courtyard, 
quickly lean in and have Sam shoot out the big lamp up high in the 
room.  

Once the light is out, the guard is going to start towards you, the 
civilian is going to get up and leave, but don't worry about that. 
Head into the shop and move along the right wall until you come to the 
doorway with a hanging curtain. Save at the checkpoint and get ready 
to do some fast, accurate shooting.

It seems we have a hostage situation. The Israeli Weapon's master is 
being accosted by two goons. Lambert says the weapons man, Saul 
Berkowitz, is too valuable to lose - you've got the green light to 
kill both attackers. Make your way slowly down the stairs....Saul 
isn't in any real danger until the thugs know you're there. Easing to 
the right a little in the stairway, you can see one of the men with 
his back to you.  Easy head shot. Drop him.  

The other will now grab Saul in a headlock and put the gun to the 
older man's head.  Move in a little, put the cross hairs right on the 
the thugs face and shoot him.  

Saul will then thank you for saving his life and give you the SC-20K.

(It is kind of funny to see the 'Use of Lethal Force is not Allowed' 
warning on the bottom of the screen while Sam is standing over two 
guys he just shot dead.)

To get out of the courtyard and avoid the patrolling guard, just 
retrace your steps.  Crouch in the corner of the entrance to the shop, 
wait until the guard is moving down the wall in the dark area and 
follow him.  

Just keep to the wall and all the way down past the wooden bin and you 
will get back to the entrance to the courtyard. As you pass through 
the entrance look straight ahead: the alleyway up there that was 
cordoned off before is now open and you can see a guard patrolling 
over there.  

If you time this right, you will see the guard walk up a small dead 
end alley to the left. That means he's answering the call of nature 
and you can sneak by while he's preoccupied.  Go down the steps ahead 
and turn left and move down the street avoiding the areas that are 
lighted.  

When you are halfway down the street there is a good dark stretch of 
wall on the left - move over there and go into Wall Mode because an 
Israeli woman who obviously isn't impressed with the curfew law is 
going to come walking up the street.  

Move down the street and turn right; you will see two Israeli 
policemen talking at the bottom of a long downward trail of steps. 
There is a bright lamp on the wall to the right also. What I have 
discovered is that if you shoot out the light, the two policemen 
retreat inside the big archway they are standing in front of and it 
leads to a big, LONG lit up street where 2 other officers also begin 
patrolling. That means you have 4 alert policemen to sneak by.  

Far better to try an alternative strategy - equip the SC-20K with the 
Sticky Shockers.  You should have 2.  Two guards - 2 sticky shockers. 
See how it's going to work out? 

Move forward slowly with the SC20K aimed down at the guards. You want 
to be hugging the wall to the left to give yourself as little exposure 
to the light as possible. Sometimes they never see you. Sometimes they 
do.  If they react while you are passing by the light, shoot sticky 
shocker and aim a little high.  If they don't see you, great, you get 
close and stay in the dark for 2 easy shots.  

And sometimes, if you take too long to do this, they will turn and 
walk back inside all by themselves.  OH, DRAT!!!

If you can drop these two cops now it makes this next part much 
easier. Hide the bodies in dark corners and continue on down the 
street staying out of the lighted areas; the next guards are all the 
way down at the far end.  

If you DON'T take these first two guards out in the archway, then you 
have THREE guards patrolling the middle section of the street and it 
is going to take awhile to sneak by them. The left hand side of the 
street offers far more places of concealment than the right hand side. 
Watch the guard's patterns and there is time when two guards are 
visible and both have their back to you. This is when you move 
forward.  

Your goal is the very end of the street to the left, where you can see 
a guard with his back to you on the far side of a iron fence.  Just 
behind that guard to the right, cleverly hidden by the wall in an 
alcove, is a long iron pipe to climb. How do I know it was cleverly 
hidden?

Because it took me 20 MINUTES of sneaking around to find it, THAT'S 
how! 


Climb up the pipe and then stop for a moment to appreciate the nice 
view of the Jerusalem rooftops. Then continue forward past the stained 
glass windows.  Jump and pull yourself up when you come to the ledge. 
Move across and then drop down to use the cables in front of you as a 
zip line to get to the building on the other side of the street.  

After you land crouch and move to the right. The Interact Window will 
pop up saying 'Rappel on Wall'.  Hit the 'A' button and slide down the 
wall. As you are rappelling Grimsdotter comes on to let you know that 
Dahlia will be near the church, wearing a white scarf and tells you 
what code phrase she needs to hear from Sam. 

When you reach the bottom a loading screen comes up (check out the 
neat movie clip on the right showing a test of the sticky shocker -
gee, I wonder if that guy volunteered for that?) and then a checkpoint 
save comes up.

Save the game.  The church is to your left. Crouch down and shoot out 
the lamp and the swaying light bulb above you.  Then move to the wood 
fence and spot the woman standing in the gap between the boards. 
That's Dahlia. Go over and talk to her. 

From what Dahlia says, Sam realizes why Soth needed the EM133D storage 
device from Saulnier Cryogenics - to safely move the UNSTABLE 
BIOLOGICAL AGENT he's just bought from Syria.  

Dahlia then says she's going to lead you to the device and you must 
follow her, but at a distance; you can't be seen together.  

Just stay out of any lights and move slow and anticipate where moving 
people are going and adjust if necessary.  

You follow her through an archway, staying in the dark and then she 
encounters a policeman. Craftily, she engages him in conversation and 
he walks with her with his back to you, allowing you to proceed 
through a lighted spot.  

I had to knock this guard out with an airfoil ring and hide his body 
because he turned and walked right for me after talking to Dahlia. 
Then you have to follow her through a large marketplace where there 
are several patrolling guards. You can evade all of them - simply wait 
until they are not facing you and even if you have to momentarily go 
through a lighted spot, it should be OK. Dahlia is not walking that 
fast.    

Instead of directly following her through the marketplace's center, 
where it is very well lit, instead stay to the left near the walls and 
pass BEHIND the stalls in the shadows between the back of the stalls 
and the buildings.  Dahlia will reappear in front of you moving to the 
left down and down some stairs.  When you follow her, stay in the 
shadows and avoid the light from the spaces between the columns; there 
is a patrolling guard to your right.  It's safest just to pause 
halfway down the steps in a dark spot and then look back to make sure 
he's passed by before going on. 

Dahlia passes between two buildings and some lighted windows.  Pay 
attention here; as she turns left up ahead and goes down some stairs 
there is a guard there.  And sometimes, as  you move into the narrow 
alleyway and get close to the corner on the left, a pedestrian or a 
policeman will show up behind you and start towards you.  

Don't panic: just peek around the corner and wait until the guard has 
turned his back and moved off and slowly move out yourself and follow 
him.  You are on another long street, and the first thing you need to 
do is move to the left and go into Wall Mode in that dark spot at the 
base of the stairs and wait for the nearest guard to pass by again and 
go up the stairs. 

Yes, I said nearest guard. There are two guards patrolling this 
street, each in a straight line and they meet in the middle.  Looks 
impossible? Not really.  When the near guard is going up the steps 
with his back to you, go out of Wall Mode and move down the street to 
the next dark area.  You have about 5 seconds to get to a new spot and 
go into Wall Mode again.  

Note that when the guards meet in the middle of this street they both 
face away from each other and start walking back to the opposite ends 
of the street, kind of like duelists.  You can gain your biggest chunk 
of movement at this point, following the left-hand guard from about 10 
feet back, and you get to move down about 25 yards.  Just before he 
gets ready to stop and turn around, go left and into Wall Mode.  When 
he passes by this time, giving you his back, you want to slowly move 
the last 15 feet or so down the street, cross it along the dark seam 
and go up to a new archway leading to some steps down; crouch to the 
left of this new doorway and look down the alley: Dahlia has just been 
accosted by a policeman. Watch the cool move she puts on him (You get 
a real good view by using the binoculars!) and then, looking back to 
make sure the other guard isn't visible at the opening of the street 
to your rear, go down and join her.      

Dahlia tells you time is short; the biological agent is only going to 
be at the warehouse for a few more hours; then she tells you if she 
sees you between here and the warehouse she's abandoning the mission. 
Sam opts to follow her via the rooftops.

Dahlia heads off up some stairs and goes left.  Crouch and look 
carefully straight ahead at the foot of the stairs; use your night 
vision - there's a guard standing there and he starts to patrol. Move 
up the steps when he has his back to you.  Wait until he disappears 
around a corner up ahead and shoot out the big powerful searchlight 
over your head.  Proceed down this alleyway, moving a little to the 
left side to stay out of the light beams thrown by the lighted up 
windows to the right.  

At the far end there is an alcove to the right where Sam can step in 
and crouch down - the guard's patrol does not bring in into this 
alcove and Sam can reach out and grab him at his leisure.  

When the guard is on the far end of the alley, back where the steps 
and the shot-out searchlight are, look to the left; there is a lamp in 
a very narrow alleyway with some light bulbs to the right.  Shoot out 
the lamp and crouch in the alcove and wait for the guard to come back. 
Now he won't see anything at all because you have prepared the ground 
for the encounter.  

With the guard out of the way, go down that very narrow alley and find 
the pipe leading up to a second story window.  Climb it and QUIETLY 
crouch on the windowsill and SILENT DROP into the room.  

Why? Why do you need to do that, do you ask? Because if you DON'T, the 
TWO GUYS watching TV in the next room are going to hear you and come 
investigate!  THAT'S WHY.

If you get detected and hear them coming there is only one way I have 
found to save the mission and keep an alarm from being raised: jump 
out the window.  You don't have time wait for the Interact window with 
'Climb Down' on it.  You lose health but at least the level didn't 
end.  

If you successfully get into the room without raising an alarm, slowly 
move forward in a crouch to the door and peek around it.  Two guys are 
watching TV with their backs only partially towards you.  

Move slowly across the room staying close to the left hand wall and go 
up and out the window.

Land on the balcony outside and turn right and go along the ledge.  Go 
up the pipe when you come to it and pull yourself up.  Admire the 
view. Notice all the policemen down there.  Notice the big searchlight 
on the roof across the street that is shining right on they path you 
need to take.  Notice how the glass sounds as it tinkles from the 
shot.

Keep going forward and you will find a roof vent and the 'Rappell on 
Wall' option window pops up.

DO NOT RAPPELL ON THE WALL YET.  Look down.  Dahlia is talking to 
another policeman and notice the very bright streetlight they are 
close to.  

If you rappell down the wall without shooting that street lamp first, 
you are going to be seen immediately when you land and it will be 
mission over.

Equip the SC-20K, lean over the rooftop at a very dark spot and shoot 
the lamp out and then retreat quickly.  Now that the light is taken 
out, there is plenty of dark down there for Sam to descend into. 
Rappell down the wall, move to where Dahlia stands to the left, 
waiting,and she will move out to the right and almost immediately a 
policeman steps out from the right around a corner and accosts her.  

Smart operative that she is, she immediately, through her body 
movement, develops the conversation so the guard's back is to you. 
Easy grab and K.O..  Hide the body back in the dark alley and follow 
Dahlia through the chain link fence.

Move to the chain link fence and open the door. Cross the courtyard, 
and to get some pickups for the rifle, go right and up the stairs. 
There is a Air Foil round and a Sticky Shocker in a window ledge on 
the second floor.  Go up the next flight of steps to the third floor 
and at the very end in another window ledge is plenty of ammo for your 
SC-20K.  

Dahlia is waiting by the elevator in the kitchen room on the first 
floor.  After some conversation, it looks like she's about to follow 
you into the elevator.  Talk to her again....and all of a sudden she 
slams the elevator shut, locking you in!  Immediately Lambert and 
Brunton come over your comm and order you to kill Dahlia Tal, now and 
without hesitation.

Do it.  

If you don't, what you are about to experience will be SO MUCH HARDER. 
Use the pistol to shoot Dahlia once in the forehead and drop her, 
because you will need all that SC-20K ammo for fire fights you are 
about to get into .  

Naturally, as the elevator starts to descend, Sam is shaken by what he 
just had to do - he just put a bullet into the head of an unarmed 
woman.  Lambert brusquely orders Sam to worry about the mission and 
leave the ethics to him and Brunton.  

Brunton reminds you that you have the Fifth Freedom at this time - you 
can now use lethal force if necessary, and your goal is to get the 
ND133 unit at all costs.

Objective:  Locate and seize the ND133 taken from Saulnier Cryogenics.  

Check and make sure you have at least 10 rounds in the pistol as the 
elevator descends. If you're a very good shot you could get by with 6 
or 7 rounds. If you only have 6 or less rounds left in the magazine, 
cook it off by firing the magazine empty and have Sam reload a fresh 
one. 

This is going to be close up work at first and you will just waste a 
lot of rifle ammo if you try it with the SC-20K. The first two 
terrorists you will encounter once the elevator stops and opens are 
going to be less than 8 feet away.  

Hold the pistol down almost even with the floor. You will see the 
first terrorist standing with his back to you. Even up the pistol with 
his body and let his head 'rise' into the shot. As he goes down, move 
to the right hand side of the elevator. There is a little groove there 
that provides some cover. Focus the cross hairs on the left side of 
the exit and many times the second terrorist will first cautiously 
peek around the corner. Shoot him in the head. 

The third terrorist is trickier because he comes at a dead run and 
keeps moving until he starts to fire. You have about 7 seconds until 
he arrives; back up a little bit and shoot out the lightbulb hanging 
from the ceiling. Now go back to the little groove, turn your Night 
Vision on, and when the terrorist comes charging around the corner, 
track his head and do not stop firing the pistol until he goes down. 

Alternative strategy: since this third terrorist is the hardest to 
take out, you can also try crouching at the very left hand side of the 
exit and let him run by and then try to K.O. him. He will likely hit 
you once or twice, but two quick elbows will take him out. 

Alternative strategy:  If you are fast, after taking out the lightbulb 
equip the SC-20K, move to the left hand corner and aim the rifle down 
the catwalk.  The terrorist may have rounded the corner already and be 
in your sights, so you have to fire quickly.  

With the SC-20K. Shoot out the two light bulbs hanging from the 
ceiling in the center of this room just off the balcony you are 
standing on. 

Then go left and follow the catwalk until you come to some stairs 
descending down. Important: when you get to the bottom of the stairs, 
halt, turn left and get against the Wall; not in Wall Mode, but very 
close to the wall so that your light meter reads 0. Inch forward, 
going around the pylon. 

As soon as you move around the pylon, two terrorists will come around 
the corner ahead from the right. Stay still and watch. One takes up a 
position down there and faces the way they came. The other turns and 
goes by the stairs on patrol and then turns and goes back the way he 
came, disappearing around the corner. When this patrolling terrorist 
is around the corner, move back and go under the stairs close to the 
wall. Equip the pistol. 

If you are a good, patient shot, follow the terrorist on his patrol as 
he comes back and find the spot he stops and turns around at. Focus 
the pistol on that spot. The next time he comes through, he steps into 
your sights and pauses.

Phhhht!

Many times the other terrorist further down the way will not hear his 
comrade die. If that is the case, move down slowly towards him and 
when you are in comfortable range, shoot him. Then shoot the lightbulb 
ahead dangling from the ceiling. Use the pistol if you have some ammo 
left for that. 

If the second terrorist hears you and engages, he often stays where he 
is and just sprays and prays in the dark. Move to the left where there 
is a corner, and lean around and use the scope to shoot him down. 

Proceed down the walkway. It goes left, and another terrorist can be 
seen patrolling around the corner. 

Here's the trick to getting through this level easier. You have to 
draw the other 3 terrorists in this room to a choke point where you 
can use your Assault Rifle to your advantage. Here's how you do that:

When the patrolling terrorist you can see is near, shoot him in the 
head and as soon as he drops, listen for footsteps. Don't panic, the 
footsteps are a good sign. It means the other 3 guys are coming after 
you! Retreat and go back up the stairs, all the way to the entrance to 
the elevator. Crouch and equip the SC20K. Many times all 3 of the 
pursuing terrorists will be congregating at the bottom of the stairs 
or one or two will be up the stairs on the first landing. 

Here's where having plenty of SC-20K ammo first pays off. Pick the 
nearest one and shoot him. One or two bullets, and he is down. The 
other two will charge. They have a loooooong way to go though. Try to 
aim shots for the head, but if they get too close or start getting 
bullets into you, don't be afraid to go to 3 shot bursts. 

When all 3 terrorists are dead, great! You now only have 3 more to 
kill before the next checkpoint! That's right, pilgrims, this level is 
hard because you have to wax 12 terrorists to get to the checkpoint. 

Move into the next room and shoot out the overhead head lights with 
the pistol. There are two doorways at the far right hand side of the 
room; don't take the one to the immediate right; when you are 
approaching on the walkway you want to take the one going straight 
where you can see a white light. 

There is a dark passage and beyond is a well lit up scientific 
experimentation station. Watch the door past the station on the right 
at the back. A guard is going to come through it. You should be 
totally hidden in the dark inside the passageway. Let him come close 
and drop him. Two more terrorists will then come running into the room 
from that right hand doorway. Make sure you have almost a full mag in 
the rifle back at the elevator after you finish taking out the 3 
earlier terrorists, because you will very likely end up putting 7 or 8 
rounds apiece into these goons. 

Once all the terrorists are dead, go up the ramp into the lighted 
science station. The ND133 is sitting on a counter on the right hand 
side of the room.  When you take it a checkpoint will come up.  

Objective: Reach the Extraction Point

After saving the game, find the door on the far side of the room where 
you haven't been yet; when you look through the archway there are 
light bulbs on the ceiling to the left and to the right.  Go left, 
because a room just chock full of goodies awaits you. It's lit up like 
the science room you just left, and you have to go up a ramp to enter 
through the door. Inside is a medical kit, and on the table in the 
center of the room are bullets, frag grenades, a chaff grenade, a 
flash bang and more grenades.  Stock up and now with a full health bar 
you are ready to take on the 3 terrorists that are determined to keep 
you from getting to the elevator and ascending back up to the surface.  

Go back through the door you just entered by and look down the hallway 
to where the lightbulb hangs just where the corner turns to the right. 
There is a terrorist standing there facing away from you just begging 
to be shot in the temple.  After you shoot him, shoot out the light 
bulb and inch forward.

Coming around the corner in the darkeness, you can see two more 
terrorists, and many times neither one will be aware you just took out 
their friend.  Sometimes the nearest one will start looking around, 
though.  

The great thing about this setup is that neither terrorist can see the 
other and they are separated by about 50 feet.  One is in front of the 
elevator gate to the left and the other is all the way down at the end 
of the hall.

If you successfully head shoot one and drop him silently, the other 
one had no idea he's next.  Following special forces training that 
says you take out the nearest threats first, have Sam shoot the 
terrorist in front of the elevator in the head.  When he drops, move 
up a bit and get a good view of the second thug; if you are 
comfortable with long shots, take it.  If you miss, must retreat into 
the dark and he will run toward you and blaze away even though he 
can't see you.  It shouldn't be too hard to drop him.  

(ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY:  Kill ALL the terrorists first before going to 
get the ND133.  If you are good at sniping with the ND133 this is a 
better way to go:  When the elevator stops shoot the 3 terrorists who 
come up to you first, then drop the two that come around the corner at 
the foot of the stairs, then go up and peek around the corner and find 
the single patrolling guard.

IMPORTANT POINT: Don't shoot him in the head and instantly drop him 
UNTIL he is in the dark part of his route when his back is to you and 
he's moving to your right.  Then snipe the lightbulb over head, and 
SLOWLY ease up the walkway over the water and go left until you come 
to the darkened archway to the left.  Go through it, and STAY IN THE 
SHADOWS.  When you enter this new room, it's the 'Pick-up' room with 
all the really great stuff in it, the grenades, the ammo, etc.; only 
now, because you haven't triggered an alarm yet, it ALSO has two 
terrorists in it.  Plus another terrorist who can be seen off to your 
right patrolling down the walkway and then dissappearing to the right.  

Use a sticky shocker or a KO to take out the patroling terrorist first 
and then use a smoke grenade or diversion camera to take out the two 
terrorists in the middle of the lighted room.  

Go and get all the pickups.  Then, the next part of this level is just 
like described above, where the terrorist at the far end of the 
corridor near the hanging light is standing with his back to you and 
there are two other terrorists visible further down, one standing in 
front of the elevator.  The only difference is, there are two more 
terrorists around the corner to the right beyond the last guy you see.

Snipe Mr. I'm-Standing-Underneath-A-Light-Waiting-To-Get-Shot-In-The-
Head, then snipe the guy in front of the elevator.  Shoot out the 
light he was standing near.  Moving up slowly to the elevator for a 
better shot, now take out the guy standing at the far endof the 
corridor with his back to you.  His dropping to the ground with a 
large hole in his head is what prompts the next two terrorists to come 
charging around the corridor......into the dark, because in the 3 or 
soseconds it takes them to arrive you've sniped the over-head 
lightbulb above their now-deceased friend.  They can't see a thing. 
Oh, it's just SO NOT FAIR.....just the way Sam likes it.  

Move Sam over their still twitching corpses as their nervous systems 
slowly shut down, confused by the bullets that have penetrated their 
dying brains, and turn the corner to enter the scientific room to the 
right.  Go up the ramp, get the ND133 and from there head to the 
elevator.)

Go into the elevator and crouch down.  It will automatically close 
it's gate and begin ascending to the surface. When you get there, 
immediately get out of the lighted elevator, equip the pistol and 
shoot out the nearest two light bulbs on the ceiling.  One of 4 
Israeli policemen is entering the far end of the room on his patrol. 
When he hears the light bulbs pop, he will come halfway into the room 
to investigate.  Since you've got the place nice and dark, you might 
as well KO this guy because when you get off the elevator, note that 
your parameters have changed: lethal force is no longer allowed. 

NOTE: If you are seen, or if you mess up a grab or a shot, an 
immediate alarm is raised, and the Mission will fail.  Very high 
difficulty.  

Move to the right hand corner against the wall and just as the guard 
is turning to go back the way he came, press the 'Whistle' button. 
Then, slowly cross the room to the left wall and watch the guard move 
to where you were crouched when you whistled.  Move up close to him 
and grab him.  KO him and move on; he's already in the dark so the 
body is well hidden.  

One down, 3 to go.  Shoot out the remaining light bulb on the ceiling 
near the exit and move out to  the left.  You will see a very large 
courtyard where three Israeli policemen are on patrol.  The closest 
one is about 20 feet away, standing in a dark area while the other two 
are spread out in well lighted areas further out. 

The two guards on the far side are very close together.  The guard 
closest to you is separated from them by about 20-30 feet.  Go up 
opposite the stone wall on the left where the broken wall juts out 4 
feet.  This area is completely dark and your light meter should read 
0.  Crouch about 6 feet to the right of this stone wall, face the 
guard and use the Whistle button.  

Then slowly move six feet to the left behind the stone wall as the 
guard comes to stand in the spot you were in when you whistled.  You 
can try sneaking up and KO'ing him; or simply equip your SC-20K and 
shoot him with a sticky shocker.  Hide his body next to the other 
unconscious guard near the elevator.  

There are lots of ways to take out the two guys standing in the light. 
But it is essential however you do it that you take one out without 
the other seeing it.  These last two are the hardest to get out of the 
way and it takes patience. You take out one, but the other sees you he 
will give the alarm and end the mission before you can get to him.  

These two guys just stand there with their pistols drawn. You need to 
do something to get at least one of them moving and separated from the 
other. 

Just behind the stone wall you crouched at to lure the second guard is 
a light bulb on the wall.  Stay in the dark and shoot the light bulb 
out and the nearest guard will begin patrolling.

Try whistling and if BOTH of them come over retreat to a safe spot.    

The whistle tactic will work if you are consistent with it and keep 
moving after you use it.  

Another way to do this is the stealthier way.  After shooting out the 
lightbulb up on the wall close to the corner to your left, have Sam 
jump up over the railing in front of the door and crouch and move 
along the wall.  

There are some spots where the light meter goes up a bit, but go slow 
and the guards won't see you. Turn right as you follow the wall. There 
is a light bulb ahead and you will have to lean out slightly to shoot 
it; you should still stay dark enough so the guards don't see you. 
Every time you shoot out a light, note how all 3 guards change 
position.  You want two of them facing away from you with the third 
farther down too far away to see you.  

INCH your way forward along the wall to the left and I do mean INCH. 
No big movements.  When you reach the darkened doorway, turn and look 
to the right.  Way across the courtyard you see another light bulb. 
And the two guards with their back to you are now too close to pass 
by.  Use the scope on the SC-20K and shoot out the light bulb.  The 
guards will all turn to look and move in that direction.  After they 
have moved off a bit, slowly creep forward.  I know, I know, there is 
a spotlight on the wall to the right casting light right across where 
you're about to go, but trust me, go slow enough and stay as far left 
as you can and you will reach the corner ahead to turn left and end 
the level in the small alleyway as Lambert comes up on your comm. 
Again, Sam wants to know why he had to kill Dahlia and Lambert says he 
cannot give that information yet.  

(ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY:  If you DIDN'T kill Dahlia Tal when Lambert 
ordered you to, here's what happens when you reach the top in the 
elevator - there are no annoying policemen standing out in the open. 
The courtyard is totally empty!  Great, right?  

NOPE!  As Lambert already informed you right after you got the ND133, 
Dahlia Tal has sniper skills that would keep Kennedy assasination 
theories alive and well for hundreds of years.  And she's got 3 
friends with her.  That's 4 sniper rifles trained on that courtyard. 
So just stroooooll on out there if you feel lucky, buddy!

Seriously, you have two options: Stealth or shoot.  Stealth takes 
time, it is very hard and it is a bitch if you mess up.  Basically, 
you need to shoot out a few lights as mentioned above in the 4 
Policemen scenario, and then sneak to the alleyway entrance in the 
shadows.  The three Isralie snipers besides Dahlia LOOK like they are 
wearing nightvision, yet I was not shot as long as I stayed in the 
shadows.  

Shooting is easier.  Dahlia and one sniper are on a balcony plainly in 
sight as Sam exits the elevator building.  Snipe them both.  Then, 
using the dark scaffolding on the right-hand side of the courtyard, 
move into the shadows of the big trash container in the right-hand 
side of the courtyard and kneel down in the very dark part where the 
taurplin is waving over it.  Look to your left - the third sniper is 
on a balcony halfway up the building.  

The fourth guy is the hardest one to find because of all the lights on 
the right-hand side when you turn the corner.  You can't shoot out the 
searchlight, so it's VERY hard to see him.  He's up on a balcony like 
the others and if you get right up against the building and aim up he 
has to stick his head over the edge.  Sorry, Benni.  That's a headache 
even Excedrin won't help.  

The extraction is at the same point as before: the alleyway entrance 
on the left hand side.  

In fact, if you are having real trouble taking this last guy out, if 
you have a mostly full health bar, just RUN Sam to the alleyway: I got 
shot once when I did this and upon reaching the alley the mission 
ended successfully anyway.)

 You did it! You completed another mission!  

 America can breath easier now that thanks to you, there's about 20 
 fewer terrorists in the world!

 Level Five:  Refinery, Kundang, Indonesia  April 12, 2006, 15:12 
 Hours 

 Main Objective:  Trail/Intercept Sadono's Communications

 'Pandora Tomorrow' is the code phrase for Sadono's insurance policy 
 against U.S. attack.  He makes daily  secure phone calls to 
 undisclosed U.S. locations, delaying release of the Smallpox virus 
 one more day. If he is killed or detained, the virus will be released 
 within 24 hours.  Intercept Sadono's 'Pandora Tomorrow' call in order 
 to locate the virus.

 The level opens with Sam standing.....in a jungle!  Yes, my friends, 
 after all this time, at last we get to  see Sam in action is 
 something other than an urban environment.  

 Lambert tells Sam that since this mission is going to be very 
 complicated, Third Echelon is running it in  conjunction with 
 Displace International, Douglas Shetland's highly trained mercenary 
 company.  

 Objective: Find Shetland and receive a briefing from him.  

 Objective:  Plant explosives on Sadono's plane

 Simply move straight ahead and you will see Shetland crouching and 
 scanning Sadono's camp with binoculars.  Go over and say hi. Shetland 
 informs Sam that he has a dozen snipers located around the camp and 
 that Sadono's plane needs to be sabotaged.  

 After finishing the conversation with Shetland, move to the left near 
 the edge of the ridge and there will be  a tree stump for Sam to tie 
 his rappel line to.  Rappel down the face of the ridge to the tall 
 grass below.  

 Or you can use the zip line just in front of where Shetland crouches 
 and looks through his binoculars.  

 (Easter Egg Found:  Andrew Williams writes:  "I noticed that at the 
 beginning of level 4 (intercept Sadono's phone call), if you shoot 
 the binoculars Shetland is holding around eleven times, Lambert 
 chimes in saying "What the hell are you doing?!  The mission is 
 over!"  Then the usual "MISSION FAILED" screen comes up with the 
 unusual message below: "YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND."  Pretty funny 
 stuff."

I tested this and verfied it myself.  It really does say that. I 
wonder how many more eggs like this are hidden through the game?)

 Note: from this point on, alarms will be raised INSTANTLY, so if you 
 opt for shooting your way through instead of stealth, at the first 
 alarm the guards will done helmets; the second they done bulletproof 
 vests, the third alarm..... THE MISSION FAILS.  Any shot or grab you 
 try or sneaking by that doesn't work is going to result in an alarm. 
 Each alarm raised makes it harder to get through the level.  Though 
 even at the 2nd stage of alarm, with jackets and helmets on, guards 
 are still not that difficult to grab, they ARE much more difficult to 
 shoot. Your first shot MUST take them out; they only need about 1 
 second to trigger an alarm if you mess up.  

 Crouch at the bottom of the cliff and slowly move forward through the 
 grass.  To your right front is a bamboo fence beyond which several 
 huts are found.  Save the checkpoint that comes up, and then note the 
 tent in front of you that has it's side darkened. That is a good spot 
 to move to and crouch down.  If you do it right the guard that always 
 comes out of the tent to the right and stands about 10 feet away will 
 not see you and he will go and sit in a chair next to another tent. 

 Ease forward, equip the SC-20K and shoot this guard in the head and 
 watch how he slumps in the chair.  

 Now you need to act fast because around the front of the tent you are 
 behind is another guard  on patrol  and if he sees this dead guard in 
 the chair he's going to raise an alarm.  

 Keep the rifle equipped and move around the corner, staying in the 
 shadow and pause just in front of the bottles  sitting on the ground. 
 The other guard then walks into view.  You have about 5 seconds to 
 shoot him before he spots the dead guard and raises an alarm.  If he 
 raises an alarm before you get him, it doesn't end the mission, but 
 Sam does get a lecture from Lambert about how he's paid to be 
 invisible.  

 Go get both bodies and dump them in the tall grass. 

 Alternative strategy: Draw the sitting guard into the dark area by 
 the  tent wall and KO him to save ammo. Then do the same with the 
 patrolling guard around the corner.  

 Alternative strategy: Sneak past both guards; this is easier to do 
 while  the first guard is sitting in the chair, but he will only be 
 there for about 30 seconds.  You need to move past him staying in the 
 tent's shadow then use the camera to see around the tent corner to 
 wait until the other guard is not looking and then sneak up to the 
 far side of the parked truck.  

 If you shoot or KO both guards, get the Ring Air Foil rounds inside 
 the  booth in front of the truck.   

 Then go back and move up on the far right hand side of the parked 
 truck.  Move along the darkened wall to  the right and you will then 
 hear two guards talking as they come down a trail to your left front. 
 One attempts to disarm a trip wire mine and blows himself up.  The 
 other guard begins CPR.  Drop him with a shot from the SC-20K.  Move 
 cautiously forward because there are plenty of trip wire mines 
 throughout this area.  If you accidently touch one, you have 2 
 seconds after the 'Disable Mine' window comes up to hit the 'A' 
 button. Hit the button too late and Sam gets blown up.  

 The thermal vision shows the mines and their trip wires as blue 
 images, so you want to keep the thermal vision on  whenever you are 
 moving.  If you detect an enemy and need to go for a grab or a shot, 
 crouch and stay stationary as you look around in normal or night 
 vision views.  

 As  you move forward and disable a few mines, you enter a wooded area 
 where you can see a shack with a lantern on the other side, and a 
 patrolling guard.  Move left and get behind the great big tree, then 
 wait until the guard comes in your direction, stops and turns around 
 to go back the way he came. Then stand up and shoot him in the head 
 with the SC-20K.  

Move carefully forward, stopping to scan the area with the thermal 
vision - there are quite a few mines about and you don't want to 
trigger one.  

Pass in front of the shack and turn left; you will see the camp ahead 
and a truck parked in the foreground.  Move around the truck to the 
right and then towards the building ahead.  A checkpoint loads where 
you can save the game.

See the open doorway with the flaming barrel inside?  That's the 
hanger with Sadono's plane, which you now need to sabotage.    

Go and crouch outside the door and you will hear two terrorists 
talking inside next to the plane.  Not surprisingly, the conversation 
proves that most terrorists tend to be whiners and slackers.    

The key to making it through this level is not to raise any alarms. 
You get three chances, as I explained above.  If at all possible you 
want to take these two guards out without giving them a chance to hit 
their radios and sound a warning.  

This, my friends, is what your special projectiles for the SC-20K was 
made for! What'll it be: gas or smoke?  Unconcious or smothered? It's 
up to you, just remember that the smoke grenade deploys instantly 
while with the Diversion camera you need to shoot it right between the 
two guards as they talk and then hit the 'Y' button to deploy the gas.

You'll have to shoot the Diversion Camera or Smoke Grenade before the 
conversation ends, or one of the guards will turn and walk around the 
plane to the other side.    

Hide the bodies in a dark corner.  Go up the ladder to the left of the 
door and switch off the overhead lights.  

Proceed to the far side of the plane and when the interact window pops 
up press 'A' to plant the explosives.  

The first time I played this level after I planted the explosives I 
immediately went back out through the door and tried to make my way 
around the hanger.

I did not notice a terrorist opening a door to my rear as I was 
heading back for the door I entered by.  So after unsuccessfully 
trying to find a way around the building, I went back into the hanger, 
and came face to face with a surprised terrorist.  Luckily I got my 
pistol out first and dropped him with a lucky headshot.  

A real, intense "What the....!!!!" moment, let me tell you.

Anyway, now that we know he's coming, after you plant the explosives 
you can simply crouch against the wall next to the door and shoot the 
guy as he comes into the room. Or you can climb up the bamboo pipe and 
drop on him from above. Or drop down onto the darkened airplane wing 
and shoot him from there.  The possiblilities are almost endless!  

However you take him out, hide his body and then go through the door 
he revealed.  

A small yard separates the hanger from a fence with a gate halfway 
open.  Go and crouch down against the fence near the gate and hear two 
terrorists yakking on the other side.  Ease around the gate and shoot 
a smoke grenade right at their feet between the two of them. 
Personally, I think the coughing and hacking and choking is MUCH more 
realistic in this game than in the last one! Once both terrorists are 
down go hide the bodies. If you have followed my excellent advice so 
far, you have not triggered a single alarm while taking out 10 
terrorists!   

Alternative Strategy: let's say you want to shoot these guys up close 
and personal.  Let the terrorists finish their conversation. One will 
depart and the other will begin patrolling.  

Keep moving to the left alongside the innermost gate and soon by 
rotating the camera view you will be able to see the terrorist moving 
around on the other side.  When he is facing away from you and moving 
away, go around the gate and head right to crouch in the bushes 
against the wall.  From behind the bushes, climb up onto the box.  

I know, you're thinking, Hey man, he's only feet away- he's gonna see 
me!  Oh no he's not! Look at your light meter:  0.  He has no idea Sam 
is there.  This may be the EASIEST headshot you get in this game.  The 
second guard comes running back, but can't see you on the boxes 
either.  Phhht! Another terrorist goes to his eternal reward.... in 
hell.  Hide the bodies behind the bushes in the corner.  

(Note: very hard to keep the second guard from giving an alarm here if 
you don't track him and drop him fast with the SC-20K.)

I have found no way to sneak by these two guards.  I can get to the 
booth and shoot the light out, and they don't find me but I have to 
raise the barrier by throwing the switch and when I do that they both 
come running.  If anybody finds another way, please e-mail me and let 
me know.    

Go into the booth and restore any health you have lost by using the 
medkit.  Then hit the switch to raise the barrier so you can pass 
through.  Save at the checkpoint. 

Do I even need to tell you to get up against the darkened wall to the 
right?  By now it should be almost instinctive after 4 levels of this 
game.  Slowly move forward and a patrolling guard will come around the 
bend ahead.....with a guard dog!  Use the Diversion Camera (have the 
SC-20K selected, hold down the white inventory button and scroll up 
with the directional pad and select Diversion camera) to take them out 
by shooting it ahead of the guard and then just as he walks up to it 
hit the 'Y' button to release the gas.  If the gas only takes out one, 
use a sticky shocker on the other.  

That's if you want to be humane to the dog. And the terrorist. You can 
of course shoot them both if you feel like it.  

Drop the guard's body in the dark corner in front of the guard booth 
and continue on staying to the right side against the wall where it's 
dark.  

When you go around the bend you will see tents up ahead, and a guard 
tower in the middle of the tents.  Keep following the fence until you 
see two guards coming into view between two of the tents. They stop 
close by and start talking to each other.  DO NOT MOVE while they talk 
to each other.  It is very easy to get detected here. If there were 
two earlier alarms triggered, one more will fail the mission. So play 
this cautiously.  

After they split up and start their patrols, notice the pattern of the 
nearest guard.  He stands in the dark and gives you his back for a few 
seconds as he turns around.  Hmmmmmmmm. What does that suggest to you? 
I sense......a grab and KO coming up, don't you?

Hide his body against the fence and go into the tent to the left that 
he was patrolling next to and pick up the ammo in the corner.  

Note: You may have had this happen several times while playing 
Splinter Cell - you go to all that trouble to hit, gas, smoke, or 
electrify a guard into unconsciousness and then some other guard 
happens along and wakes the unconscious guard back up.  Let me explain 
why I have never had this problem:  Like the Navy Seals, when I have 
enemy down and out I make sure he stays down and out: I put a round 
from the pistol right between their eyes.  You can even watch the 
terrorist's bodies go cold in the thermal view after you shoot them. 
Nope, Adbul, Pieter, Jaques or whoever is not ever gonna be a problem 
for me again.  

Cautiously move along the fence.  There is a bonfire burning ahead, 
with a booth behind it.  Between the fire and you is some thick grass. 
Well just to be safe, let's scan the ground with our thermalvision 
and....Hey!  What's this?! It's a trip mine!  Whew, are you glad we 
decided to play it safe and spend some time carefully scanning the 
ground before we walked over it? Yeah, me too.

Disable the mine and inch your way along the wall trying to stay out 
of the illumination cast by the bonfire.  

From the spot where you disabled the mine look right - there is a 
lantern hanging onto a fence post.  Shoot it out.  Between where you 
and the lamp are is another trip mine.  Disable that one. (Think of 
all the money these terrorists wasted on these mines ha ha!) Then look 
to the left at the doorway of the tent - you can see a terrorist 
sleeping on a cot inside.  Enter the tent, draw your pistol, and shoot 
him in the head, notice how he stops breathing.  Get the Data Stick 
from him and then go to the table near the other door and get the 
Smoke Grenade.  

Note: if you've triggered two alarms before now, this sleeping 
terrorist is going to have a flack jacket and a helmet on while he's 
sleeping.  I have shot him at point blank range and he just wakes up, 
yawns, gets up, draws his rifle, shoots me, and the mission fails.  I 
even tried the Sticky Shocker on this %^%$^%&^%&^& and the darn thing 
just bounced off.  So one time I was so pissed I actually tried to 
make Sam jump up and down on the guy's chest while he was sleeping.  

Needless to say, if this guy has the flak jacket and helmet on his 
is practically invincible.  

You're better off just getting the smoke grenade off the table and 
sneaking back out and leaving him in slumberland.  

Go back the way you came and move to the outside of this tent on the 
righthand side where it's dark.  Move up and crouch down and peek 
around the corner.  

(Note: if you are very good at sniping with the SC-20K, from this tent 
corner you can snipe the guard in the tower with a headshot. This 
simplifies things greatly.)

Wait until the guard in the watch tower is on the other side looking 
away from you and then go for the far side of the truck. After he 
turns around again, go for the bushes to the left of the closed gate 
with the burning barrell in front of it. Proceed slowly through these 
bushes until you get to the raised platforms - under them is a square-
shaped passageway through which Sam can advance unseen from above.

(Game Improvement! You may have noticed by now - the leaves and 
branches of the bushes and trees will get in your way and obscure your 
vision. One of my times through this level I stayed in a light spot 
too long and the tower guard sounded an alarm while the guard 
'sleeping' in the tent that I had bypassed got up and came looking for 
me while I was crouched in these bushes.  Not being able to see him 
clearly made the butt-pucker factor go off the charts.  One momement 
he was off to my left so I turned and moved right and started to come 
out of the bushes....and froze when I saw he was just 2 feet from me 
passing by.  Great realism.  Took awhile for my butt to unpucker, 
though)

You have to take out the guard in the watchtower because the only way 
into the village is by using the zip line that runs from his tower.  

If you can't snipe him from below, you are going to have to slowly and 
carefully climb up the ladder and grab him from behind.  KO him, then 
use the Zip line to infiltrate the village and complete your present 
objective.  

When you land in the village, a loading screen comes up and then a 
checkpoint so you can save your progress. If you have gotten to this 
point without raising a single alarm, you are doing very well.  

When the game restarts, move forward slowly in a crouch, and stay in 
the dark area between the two buildings. As you near the lighted area 
ahead, you will see Sadono standing off to the right smoking a cigar 
like the self-important butthole that he is.  Three other terrorists 
are also in this courtyard.  Listen to their conversation.  Then watch 
how they all break up and go their respective ways.  Sadono and two of 
the terrorists go into the building across the street on the left, and 
goes on patrol up and down the street.  

Objectives: Trail Sadano and identify the location of his phone calls 
Secondary objective: Don't get seen by Sadono.  

Move to the right along the front of the raised hut while staying in 
the very dark area and watch the guard's patrol route.  Wait for the 
couple of seconds he passing by in the dark area close to you and 
either grab, shoot, electrify, air ring or elbow him.  You have lots 
of choices, you know.  

 If you need more ammo, there is a box in the hut you are in front of. 
 Climb Sam up into the doorway and the ammo box is on the table to the 
 left.  

 Go back outside, stay in the dark area and move left.  Shoot out the 
 lightbulb on the porch ahead and slowly move up this now dark area 
 and when you get to the straw-weave baskets look to your right front 
 - there is a guard standing on the porch of the building across the 
 street.  

 Now look down from him and see the small area under the porch beneath 
 him? Bingo, that's where we need to go. Retreat back the way you 
 came, crouch just at the edge of the light, and as soon as the guard 
 turns his back to go down the porch move across the open space and 
 get under the porch he's standing on.  Move slowly along this 
 darkened path beneath the porch.  At the far end of the passage, you 
 see some rail steps leading up to the house you are now under and a 
 small yard ringed by other houses.  

 Move to the left of the opening and stay in the shadows cast by the 
 bushes  and cross into the shadows of the house across the way.  Move 
 down the wall of this house until you can look to the right and see a 
 door with a lightbulb next to it on the wall.  Go through the door 
 and further in across the light thrown against the wall through a 
 boarded up window and you will see another doorway through which 
 Sadono and his bodyguards pass, leaving one guard to stand near the 
 door and watch it.  

 Note: there is a sticky camera on the crate to the right of the door 
 you just came through.  Pick it up if you feel like it. I already had 
 five, so I left it there.  

 Move to the right, staying in the shadows, get as close as  you can, 
 and  drop this terrorist with a round in the head from the SC-20K.  

 Hide the body.

 Optic cable the door (been awhile since we had to do that, huh?)  If 
 you want  to be really stealthy, don't go into this empty room yet, 
 shoot out the lantern on the barrell to the right and then the light 
 over the window around the corner. Then move up to the window and 
 shoot up into the room and take out the lightbulb.

 Open the door, and move slowly to the left, ignoring the door on the 
 other side of  the room, and moving past the lighted stairs and see 
 the guard sitting with his back to you as he watches TV.

 What I disover as I draw my pistol and get ready for the shot is that 
 the game  has the guard get up and suddenly turn around.  You should 
 still be able to drop him though.  Dump Mr. At-Least-I-Died-Watching-
 My Favorite-TV-Show outside with the other dead guard.  Before going 
 up the stairs, there is an ammo box in the room to the right of where 
 the guard was watching TV.  

The only thing upstairs I can find are a medical kit and a square 
shaped opening in the ceiling of one of the rooms that I can't make 
Sam reach.  

Go back down the stairs and through the door that we ignored earlier. 
Stay to the .....SHADOWS......(boy, I sure do say this alot, don't I?) 
to the left and move down the wall until you see a very well lighted 
doorway to the right across from a truck and some barbed wire.  Optic 
Cable the door but don't open it.  It's too well lighted from the sun 
and you'll be framed in the doorway of you open it. You can see 
several terrorists in this room.  Go back to normal view, turn right 
and find the very narrow alley to the right and put Sam into Wall Mode 
so he can slide down the lefthand wall to the Checkpoint.  

Slide all the way down to the end and have Sam peek around the corner. 
You see a courtyard with Sadono and his guys going off to the left. 
Meanwhile a guard begins patrolling the center of the very well 
lighted courtyard.  Further to the left, standing in the shadows, is 
another guard who is standing still and trying to get lung cancer.  

Start by shooting the nearest lightbulb, just over your head to the 
left, when the guard on patrol is facing away from you.  If he hears 
the lightbulb pop, he may come to investigate.  Retreat back into Wall 
mode and slide down out of sight. He will soon shrug and resume his 
patrol.  

Now go get the Sticky Camera on the crate next to the door.  There's 
nothing in the room worth going for; I know 'cause I shot out the 
light inside and had a look.  

From the doorway move to the left past the boxes, keeping your light 
meter firmly on 0 as you keep track of the guard patrolling to your 
right.  

Shoot out the lantern and the light on the wall to the right.  If you 
get detected, head back for the narrow gap and go into Wall Mode -
they won't find you, but there will be two guards in the courtyard 
now.  

I went into the dark room and drew the patrolling guard to me with the 
Whistle, then shot him between the eyes as he walked up to me.  Pick 
up his data stick.  Then, moving out to the very edge of the shadows 
just as my light meter started to move to the right, I crouched and 
sniped the standing guard across the courtyard.  Shoot out most of the 
lights you can see and then go get his body and hide it.  

Go back to where that guard was standing when you shot him and face 
the way he was.  Now look to your right - see the very large square 
doorway with the lightbulb on top?  That's where Sadono and his 
buddies went.  As you approach the door a dog will come running out 
and try to snack on various pieces of your anatomy.  Shoot him.  

(Depending on how you play this, the dog will attack at different
times.  If the guards sensed something wrong, the guard at the 
far end near the dog will take up a new position halfway 
up the courtyard on the far side near a lightbulb.  I have 
taken both guards out and not have the dog attack until I approach
the room he's in; other times if the second guard is visible to the 
dog and you drop him the dog will come looking for you.)

Move into the large square shaped opening and go up the ramp on the 
left and Optic Cable the door.  Time
