|ABOUT THE GUIDE|
|---------------|
-DDD-
Welcome to my second FAQ. This FAQ is about the Stealth Action game Tom
Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent. I will try to give you the best/easiest
way to complete the game. I will NOT explain how to get 100% stealth score on
each level. This guide is a pretty straightforward guide, mostly for those who
don't care about perfection and just wants to complete the game. Note that I
have written this FAQ playing through the game on Normal difficulty on the
PS3, and that my guide may differ from the XBOX 360 or the PS2 version. I
would like as much response as possible as to what could be better and what
was good since I'm still pretty new to writing FAQs. Also, THIS FAQ MAY/WILL
CONTAIN SPOILERS. You have been warned.

|GENERAL TIPS|
|------------|
-GGG-
- Read carefully through the game manual to learn about every aspect of the
game. All of the controls and such are explained there. I will only describe
a few of them in this guide. I WILL NOT EXPLAIN ANY OF THE MINIGAMES (HACKING,
SAFE-CRACKING ETC.) AS THEY ARE EXPLAINED IN THE MANUAL. Note that some
controls have been changed from previous games in the series.
- Cans and bottles (Objects) are perfect for luring a guard to a certain area.
They could even knock him out if thrown at the head.
- Whistling (Down on D-Pad) is almost just as good. Make sure to position
yourself so that you can sneak up on the guard from behind when he comes over.
- When shooting at someone, always aim at the head. This saves ammunition and
doesn't give your enemy a change to retaliate.
- Killing people makes noise, while knocking them out is quiet. But a guard
that is knocked out may be awoken if another guard finds him.
- Only use the SC-20K if you have to shoot out something in the distance or in
gunfights. Use the pistol if your target is close.
- Stay crouched as much as possible. You make less sound and are more hidden
while crouched.
- If you get directly over an enemy, you can knock him out by dropping down on
him.
- Always remember to close the doors you go through unless you're in a hurry.
- Learn everything about the items and gadgets your carrying. Then you'll have
more options on how to for example knock out guards.
- Always use the optic cable before entering a door to make sure what is
behind it.
- You can save your progress at any time. I will not tell you when to safe,
but it is of course not bad to save often. Note that the game doesn't save at
checkpoints, so if you turn off the game at a level where you've just reached
checkpoints and never saved, you'll have to start the level from the beginning
again.
|-------------------------------------|
|MISSION 1: ICELAND - GEOTHERMAL PLANT|
|-------------------------------------|
-HHH-
ASSIGNMENT: Investigate geothermal plant. (NSA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Infiltrate plant without alert.* (NSA)
Follow your partner until he drags a guard underwater to kill him. Find a spot
of thin ice, and break through it to kill the other guard when he is above
you. Climb out of the water and head left towards the shed. There's a guard
sleeping there that you should sneak over to and knock out, or you can just
let him be to get a better stealth score, but then you'll have to be quiet.
There is also a computer in here that you can use if you want. Head over to
the far left corner and cut the cable there. Get out and find your partner at
the right side of the area to help him over the fence. Climb over the fence,
head left and climb up the ladder there. Position yourself under the zip line
and jump to grab onto it. By the time you land, you'll have completed the
`Infiltrate plant` objective, reached a checkpoint and received a new
objective.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Infiltrate base without alerts.* (NSA)
*CHECKPOINT*
Go right, drop down and wait until the guard is to your left before you drop
down onto the catwalk. Head right and stay close to the yellow wall when you
reach it. Grab the guard when he comes over and knock him out. Go down the
stairs and hide in the darkness to the left at the bottom. Head left and watch
the patrolling guard's movement. Go around the corner when he isn't looking
(jumping is not sound-safe, so sneak around it.) Step into the container and
move very, very slow towards the other side. Grab the guard here, interrogate
him for a door code and knock him out. Don't kill him or the patrolling guard
will hear you. Now, the patrolling guard is a bit of a pain, but one way to
get him is to sneak over to the shed when he isn't looking. Step inside (make
sure to close the door behind you) and turn of the lights. Quickly move away
from the light-switch and grab the guard who'll try to turn on the lights. It
is very important that he doesn't turn them on. Drag him a couple of steps
away and knock him out. The patrolling guard will come in soon, and you can do
the same with him. Use the computer in here to open the gate. Head over to the
gate you just opened and sneak in when the patrolling guard isn't looking.
Stick to the right side for now, so that you can sneak up on the guard and
knock him out when he comes over. Hide the body in the darkness. Switch to the
dark passageway to your left before you go any further. Sneak forward until
you can just shoot the last guard here. Climb up the ladder next to him. Find
the other ladder and climb it. Grab onto the pipe at the top and make your way
over to the other side. Head towards the big vent to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Climb into the vent to complete the `Infiltrate base` objective. You'll also
see your partner get shot. Shimmy left and climb over the railing here. A
timer will start and you'll receive a new objective.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Prevent missile launch. (NSA)
Head down the stairs and activate the crane. Shoot the guard to your left. Use
your EMP on the light near the red pipe and climb up. Follow the pipes until
you can use your winch to go down. Do so and knock out the guard at the
bottom. Hack the computer to complete both your objective and your assignment.
You'll also receive a new assignment.
ASSIGNMENT: Reach helicopter for extraction. (NSA)
Head right and climb up the ladder. Climb up the rope at the top to complete
the mission.
For the star marked objectives you'll receive EMP Grenade and Explosive Sticky
Camera - Attachment.
|------------------------------------------|
|MISSION 2: KANSAS - ELLSWORTH PENITENTIARY|
|------------------------------------------|
-JJJ-
ASSIGNMENT: Help Jamie Washington escape. (JBA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Open cells to start riot. (JBA)
Don't kill guards. (NSA)
Reach central tower without alerts.* (NSA)
Walk over to the poster and rip it open to find a tunnel. Go through the
tunnel and climb up the red pipe you'll get to. Shimmy right at the top and
drop down. Crawl through the vent here. Go left and head for the curved vent.
Walk onto it and break open the vent near the red light. Crawl through it to
reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Open the hatch in front of you, but don't drop down yet. Instead, hang from it
and whistle to get the guard's attention (it may take a while.) When he comes
over to investigate, climb back up. Drop down on him when he is beneath you to
knock him out. Use the computer for a door code. Use that code to open the
keypad-locked door for three smoke grenades. Turn off the lights before you
pick open the door on the far wall. Go through it when the guard outside
leaves. Head down the stairs and through the door at the bottom. Go through
another door before you use the door code to open the locked door. Don't go
through the doorway. There's a guard nearby, and you've got no good places to
hide. Stand in the doorway and whistle when he's near you. Move back and grab
him from behind when he comes over. Knock him out in the dark. Make sure to
cut the cable in the right corner before you go through the gate-like thing,
or else you'll sound an alarm. Pick open the locked door up ahead to find
yourself in the middle of a gunfight. Remember that the prisoners are on your
side. Sneak right along the wall all the way around to find an open door. Go
through it to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
You'll also complete the `Reach control tower` objective and receive a new
objective.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Escape without alerts.* (NSA)
Here we've got a new guard with a flashlight. I hate these guys. Anyways, get
yourself over to in between the two benches. Follow him after he has done his
round in the corner. Grab him and knock him out when you get the chance. Note
that you can't grab him while he is going up the stairs. Don't ask me why.
Find the locked door around here and pick it open. Go through it and hide in
the shadows to the right. Wait for the guard to come down and start heading up
again. Follow him, but let him get up the stairs before you grab him, or he'll
probably notice you. Drag him into some shadows and knock him out. Use the
computer and pick up the riot shotgun and some ammunition before you continue
upstairs. Use the computer further up to complete the `Open cells` objective.
You'll lose some trust from NSA, but gain some from JBA, and the mission will
become much easier. Head all the way to the top and use the door code to gain
access to the elevator. Go up to get to an area with a lot of guards. Head
right and find some shadows quickly. There may be a guard directly to your
left when the elevator stops, so it's safer to go right. Sneak over to what
was the left side when you got here, and when the guards aren't looking, go
through the broken window. You'll receive a new objective.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Rescue Jamie form guards. (JBA)
Climb up the red pipe and shimmy left at the top. Look left to see Jamie and
the guard. Either run over the walkway and knock the guard out, or shoot him
with your shotgun to complete the `Rescue Jamie` objective. If you're too slow
Jamie will rescue himself, but you won't get the trust. You'll soon get a new
assignment.
ASSIGNMENT: Hijack news helicopter. (JBA)
Quickly run down the stairs near Jamie and climb up the ladder to complete the
mission.
For the star marked objectives you'll receive Ultrasonic Emitter and Wall
Mine - Stun.
|--------------------------------|
|MISSION 3: NYC - JBA HQ - Part 1|
|--------------------------------|
-LLL-
This is a new kind of mission to the Splinter Cell series, so I guess a short
introduction is needed. You are let loose in the JBA HQ for 25 minutes with a
list of objectives. You don't have to do any of them, but you will lose trust
if you fail some. You'll also lose trust if you are spotted in a restricted
area. If you are seen using a NSA gadget, it's game over. It's a bit hard to
write a walkthrough for this mission, as there may be fewer or more guards
somewhere at different times. Therefore I advice you to stick to my guide as
much as possible. Also, I will not go out of my way to complete the profiles
objectives other than giving you a finger print and a voice sample since these
are important later. If anyone wants to, they can send me a mail explaining
how to do them, and I'll add it to the guide.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Bug antenna on the roof.* (NSA)
Upload trojan to JBA server.* (NSA)
Complete training course.* (JBA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Practice at firing range. (JBA)
PROFILE OBJECTIVES: Get JBA member medical files. (NSA)
Get professional background info. (NSA)
Start of by following Jamie and later Moss. When Moss opens the training
course, your timer will start. We'll start by completing the training course.
The training course consists of mostly laser beams you have to get by. If you
trip a laser you'll have to backtrack to a newly opened door. None of them are
too difficult, though. Crouch to get past the first laser. Go past the next
set when they are all out. Open the locked door and wait until the lasers are
out before you continue. Climb down the ladder, jump onto a crate and jump to
get to the ledge above. Drop down and go through the tight passage to the
right. Drop down and climb up the rope. Rappel down while watching out for the
lasers. Head around the corner to find another set of lasers. Crouch and
follow the one at the bottom when it's going away from you. Stand up in the
middle and jump up a level to not get caught by the laser when it comes back.
Around the next corner is the last set of lasers. Wait until the laser is
going away from you before you climb over the obstacles. You should make it
over two. Wait until the laser goes back over you and climb over the last
obstacle. Head up the stairs and crack the safe to complete the `Training
course` objective. Open the door near the safe to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
You should have about 20 minutes left. Get yourself to the main part of the
common area (the one with two levels,) and climb up the ladder in the corner.
Walk very slowly towards the far corner. Go through the hole without being
detected by the guys outside. Stick to the left side once you're inside as one
of them will come in and check something at the right side. Open the lock and
pierce the cable to complete the `Bug antenna` objective.
*CHECKPOINT*
Less than 10 minutes is a bit bad. I had about 18 here. Get back out without
being detected. Climb down the ladder and go down the stairs. Go through the
doorway in front of you and head left. Turn off the lights here and hack open
the door. Go through it and drop down to the left. Put your back to the wall
and go through the tight passage. Don't go out at the other side, but wait
until Jamie shouts at someone and leaves. Another guy will come out of the
door and go back inside shortly after. Get out once he's gone. Stay at the
left side while heading for the door to not get seen by the camera. The server
room is full of darkness, so hide at the right side of the room until someone
comes down the stairs and leaves. Head up the stairs and walk slowly to the
far end of the catwalk. Upload the trojan to the main server.
*CHECKPOINT*
Open the hatch near the server and drop down. Head over to the stairs and open
the hatch there. Climb out. Get out of the server room and go back to the
passage from before (remember the camera.) Climb up and open the door to get
out of the restricted area. Now you'll have completed all the crucial
objectives for this time. If you've got some time left, you could go practise
at the firing range for a small amount of JBA trust. You've got 30 shots to
get 76 points or more. The targets are divided into three parts. If you hit
the outer part you'll get 1 point, you'll get 3 points for the middle part and
5 points for the red, inner part. I find it easier to aim at the targets that
moves in, stays still, and moves out again. Press L2 to hold your breath and
get better accuracy. If you're desperately in need of NSA trust, you can sneak
into the infirmary to get the medical files. If you don't need any more trust
you can mess around exploring the HQ or whatever, just return to the start of
the training course a couple of minutes before the timer runs out. When it
does, you'll reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Follow Moss to get a new objective.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Don't kill Cole Yeager. (NSA)
Kill Cole Yeager. (JBA)
Follow the organization where you have the lowest trust. Just wait if you
don't want to shoot him.
For the star marked objectives you'll receive Electronic Lock Pick, Gas
Grenade and EMP Device - Enhanced.
|-------------------------|
|MISSION 4: SEA OF OKHOTSK|
|-------------------------|
-QQQ-
You'll start the mission by freefalling from a plane. Press X when prompted to
open your parachute. Something goes wrong, and you'll have to rotate the left
analog stick until you find a spot where you're prompted to press X again. Do
so to land safely.
*CHECKPOINT*
ASSIGNMENT: Capture the supertanker. (JBA)
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Retrieve equipment. (JBA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Reach the Rublev without alerts.* (JBA)
This first area is actually very difficult. Two guys will arrive in a
helicopter right where your equipment is. You should run forward and hide
behind the second ice block to the right before they land. From here you can
drop down to the right, shimmy right until you're over water and drop down.
This way you'll not get you're equipment, and you'll lose some JBA trust. You
could also try to snipe the guards from the right side of the ice block. It's
important that you shoot two headshots, or else the guards will be alerted and
you'll fail a star marked objective. If you manage to shoot both of the
guards, go over to where they were to pick up your equipment before you dive
into the water. Swim left, and instead of breaking through the ice and killing
the guard, swim right to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Use detonators to blow the ice wall. (JBA)
Now swim back and break the ice. Look right to see the guard with his back
turned to you. Sneak up on him grab him, interrogate him and knock him out.
Hide the body before you drop into the water again. Swim around underwater
until you find a place at the left side where you can break through the ice
and kill a guard. Get out of the water here, and switch off the elevator. Drop
back down into the water and wait for a guard to come. Resurface when he turns
his back to you and kill him. Stay underwater and another guard will come. Do
the same to him as you did to his buddy. Climb up and pick up some SC-20K
ammunition lying on some crates. Head over to the detonators near the fire.
Use them to complete the `Blow the ice wall` objective, killing a guard in the
process. Now there's a single guard patrolling near the hole in the ice you
just blew up. The safest would be to shoot him from a distance. Jump into the
water and swim down to complete the `No alerts` objective and reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Seize the Rublev without alerts.* (JBA)
Swim up and break through the ice to kill a guard. Swim away from the hole as
there is another guard on the ice that will shoot at you. Find another place
where you can break through the ice. Don't do so yet. Knock on the ice to get
a guard over so you can kill him. Climb out of the water and look right to see
a guard on a little boat. Swim over to him and drag him underwater to kill
him. Swim towards the tanker where the light is. Climb up to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
ASSIGNMENT: Disable the supertanker's crew. (JBA)
Call down the Zodiac and use it to go up. Onboard the ship, you may want to
alternate between using your normal vision, your heat vision and your wave
vision to see clearly through the blizzard. Look right once you're up to see
two guards arguing. Follow the guard at your level once they're finished.
Sneak up on him, grab him and interrogate him. Knock him out (don't kill him)
beneath the catwalk so that the guard above can't see him. Stay under the
catwalk and sneak forward. See that tall tower in front of you? Head around to
the other side of it and use the rope there to climb up. This is an excellent
sniping point as people may see you, but they'll never get close enough to
identify you as an intruder and start shooting at you. The important thing is
to not miss. If you hit someone anywhere but the head, they'll know where you
are and sound an alarm. For the guards furthest away, you may want to shoot
the explosive barrels to kill them. After you've killed all of the guards here
(six or seven, use your 3D map to check) use the zip line above you. At the
end you'll hang from a pipe. You'll receive two new objectives.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Contact Lambert. (NSA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Disable communications. (JBA)
Climb around the pipes until you reach a red one in a corner. Climb down and
shoot the guard on the catwalk to your right. Climb up the red pipe and you'll
receive a new objective.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Take out bridge crew. (JBA)
Go left around the corner and stay close to the wall. Above you is a guard
talking in a walkie-talkie. When he stops talking, he'll go to the left side
and you can step away from the wall and shoot him. Jump onto the two round
things here to get to where he was. Climb up the ladder in front of you, pick
open the lock and use the computer to complete both the `Disable
communications` and `Call Lambert` objective. Climb back down the ladder and
up the ladder to the right. Use the rope to climb down into the hole.
*CHECKPOINT*
Throw a grenade into the middle vent. Jump to get onto the ledge above the big
vent to the right. Crawl into the vent here to complete the `Take out crew`
objective. Crawl through the vent and go through the door on the right wall.
Head right, use the computer if you want to, and go through the door at the
end. Climb down the ladder in front of you and go down the stairs. Backtrack
to the Zodiac you used to get onto the ship. By the time you reach it three
guards will have spawned in the area up ahead. Now, head all the way back to
the antenna where you completed two objectives. Use your wave vision to find
two guards. Snipe/go into gunfight with them. Find the last guard and kill him
too. He's usually patrolling below you to the left. I know this way of taking
out the guards is a bit tedious, but it's the only fairly safe method I've
found. Get over to the right side of the ship bow and find the hatch there.
Climb down to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Go through the door on the left wall. Go all the way over to the left and
shoot the guard there with a sticky shocker. Go down the stairs and over to
the other side of the room. Go through two doors and hide in the darkness to
the left. A guard will walk right by you. You should shoot him before he turns
around and sees you. Shoot the other guard that comes over to investigate. Go
through the door at the far side of the room and use the machine to your right
to turn off the vents. Head back into the previous room and go up the stairs.
Take two rights and open the door in the corner.
*CHECKPOINT*
Head down the sloped walkway, but stop before you turn the corner. You'll see
the captain walking around with a lit torch. If you shoot him or he sees you,
he'll drop it to kill both of you. So, as Enrica says, you'll have to sneak up
behind him. He'll stop twice and wave his flare around while looking at you.
Then he'll move to one of the sides and stop before he goes to a random side
and stops. After that he'll repeat the pattern again. You should move quickly
along the right side after he has turned around after facing you the second
time. Stop once you reach darkness. Wait until you see which way he goes
before you follow him, grab him and knock him out.
ASSIGNMENT: Reach landing pad for extraction. (JBA)
Climb the ladders in here to reach the helipad and complete the mission.
For the star marked objectives you'll receive Wall Mine - Flash and Shotgun
Shell - Attachment.
|---------------------------|
|MISSION 5: SHANGHAI - HOTEL|
|---------------------------|
-EEE-
The mission starts of dramatically as the helicopter pilot pass out and you'll
have to take control of the helicopter. Just try to line up with the horizon
and you'll be fine.
*CHECKPOINT*
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Record the secret meeting. (NSA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Infiltrate the hotel without alert.* (NSA)
Use your wave vision to find three lights on the building in front of you.
Shoot out all of them. Go around the left side and climb onto the building
from here. Use the box thing near the ladder to get onto the roof. Dance
around the guard here until you can grab him from behind. Interrogate him and
knock him out. Use the zip line up here to get onto another roof. Climb over
the vent and walk over the wooden planks to get onto a container. Jump left
and grab onto the red pipe. Climb up and switch to the blue pipe. Shimmy right
around the corner and drop down. Hack into the computer in the red control box
to activate the crane. Wait until the guards are finished talking before you
climb the crane's ladder. Walk out onto the edge and rappel down. Stick to the
wall to the left at the bottom. Drop down to get around the corner. Grab onto
the flashing pipe and climb down. Go all the way to the right at the bottom to
reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Rappel down and record the meeting with your laser mic.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Infiltrate hotel. (NSA)
Rappel down once you've recorded the meeting. There's a helicopter with a
searchlight coming from above. Walk to the right once you reach a ledge to let
the searchlight go by you. You'll have to get over to the left side, past the
searchlight to continue. The searchlight stays above the ledge from right to
left, and below it on the way back, so you'll have to drop down and climb up
according to that while making you're way over. Stay under the left side of
the grey windows. A guard will open one and you can drag him out and kill him.
Climb inside.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Sample Red Mercury. (NSA)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Complete mission without alerts.* (NSA)
Don't kill civilians. (NSA)
Go left and open the trap there. Drop down. Find the other trap and open it.
Climb out and stay at the right side of the trap. A guard will come over and
stand right next to you. Shoot him with a ring airfoil. Shoot out all three of
the lights in here to make another guard enter from the right. He'll start
patrolling the left side of the room after a while. Sneak into the left room
and hide in the far left corner. Grab the patrolling guard when he comes over
and turns his back to you. Knock him out. Shoot the other guard in here with a
ring airfoil. Remember that you can pick these up after you've used them. Exit
through the door at the right side. There's a room here with a computer that
you can use if you want. Call the elevator after you're done.
*CHECKPOINT*
Go through the door to your right. Sneak up on the guard sitting at the
computer and grab him. Interrogate him and knock him out in the bathroom. Use
the computer to disable the cameras. Pick up the two sticky cameras lying next
to the computer. Turn off the lights and go through the door. Sneak up on the
guard when he goes over to the bar. Grab him and knock him out. Sneak further
into the room and follow Emile into the dark area. Crack open the safe and
sample the Red Mercury. Pick up some pistol ammunition before you close the
safe.
ASSIGNMENT: Reach Aswat's room 2406. (JBA)
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Get Aswat's notes from his room. (JBA)
Go through the door to the left to get into the bathroom. Jump into the vent
in the corner and crawl through it. Climb up the ladder to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Find a spot where you can rappel down. Do so and go left. Get onto the
elevator here and wait for it to go down. Head over to the other side and do
the same thing here to get down another level. Step off the elevator and wait
for the coughing guard to the left to go away. Shoot him with a sticky shocker
when he comes back. Hide the body. Climb back onto the catwalk and shoot the
guard patrolling at the other side with a sticky shocker. Climb over the
railing and find the double doors that are further in than the other doors.
Approach them to reach a
*CHECKPOINT*
Go through the doors to find yourself in Aswat's room along with four guards.
Sneak up on the one crouching near the computer and grab him. Drag him back
towards the doors and knock him out. Sneak into the room to the left and use a
ring airfoil to knock out the guard in there. Go back into the middle room and
wait for a guard to come in. He'll walk over to the window and you can easily
grab him and knock him out. Hide the body near the double doors. The last
guard will enter the room shortly after. You'll have to follow him and grab
him, as he's headed for the room to the left. Use the computer in here if you
want to before you crack the safe in the left room. While you're cracking the
safe you'll receive two new objectives.
ASSIGNMENT: Extract via Emile's helicopter. (JBA)
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Kill Dr. Aswat. (NSA)
Make sure to actually pick up Aswat's notes after you've cracked the safe. Now
you can either run over and kill Aswat, or you can stay in this room and wait
for the helicopter. You'll lose a lot of NSA trust if you don't kill Aswat,
but you'll lose JBA trust if you wait too long to get to extraction.
Personally, I stick to the helicopter, as I've never found out where Aswat is
(he's not where the 3D map says he should be.) But if you crack the safe fast,
you could save and experiment with how long it takes to find and kill Aswat,
and then get back to the helicopter. Note that you'll have to use a zip line
in the right room to get to the helicopter. Don't worry about the trust if you
don't kill Aswat. You'll get it back in the next mission.
Update: Adnan Cartwright was kind enough to send me this e-mail:
To kill the doctor after you crack the safe walk outside the room to the left
and you will see the good doctor walking with a guard behind him. Knock out
the guard and do away with the doctor. It isn’t that far from the room
actually it is very close. You still have time to extract with Emile by the
chopper without losing any trust. Hope it helps.
When I checked this out I found Aswat at once, but at the right side of the
walkway, while a guard was approaching from the left side. I don't know if he
comes from random side
