The Splinter Cell series has always been known for its stealth game play
mechanics. In past versions there was always darkness to hide in to avoid
detection. This installment in the series keeps stealth as a central component
but adds a heavier sense of action. In this walkthrough I will attempt to
describe how to move through each level undetected. At certain points throughout
Sam will have to rely more on weapon handling than stealth. I will try limit
these times and attempt to find a way to maneuver through a level without
leaving any trace of having been there. This is not to say we will not encounter
areas where deadly force is neeeded. This is the method in which I enjoyed
playing Splinter Cell Conviction and only mention this because it is how the
guide is also crafted. The information below is a method that will assure
completion of the game without unnecessary enemy detection. One of the great
parts about this game is that you can approach it how you choose. If you want to
run and gun Sam has the ability to do so but if sticking to shadows is your
preference there will also be ample opportunities to do that as well.

The walkthrough is written based on NORMAL Difficulty. Many of the stealth
sequences will not work for Realistic Difficulty. In Realistic Difficulty the
white Warning meter decreases to detection much quicker. The higher difficulty
setting results in more difficult movement in light without detection.
The walkthrough is also writtent in an attempt to limit Sam's impact on the
world around him. In other words, I've tried to move through the levels
undetected and leaving the least number of bodies that are possible. There are
some situations where there will not be an option, Sam must kill the enemy
before proceeding. Also if you find a portion of the game too difficult, stop
trying to be ultra sneaky and clear the room.

Merchant's Street Market                                                 [WLK1]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam is in hiding from everyone and everything he knew. The game picks up with
him sitting outside a cafe when he recieves a phone call that armed guards are
closing in on his position. He will not trust the person on the other end until
she reveals how she found him. Grim responds that 3rd Echelon has their eye on
everyone and asks Sam to look up. Move the right stick to look up and set the Y-
axis (inverted or not). The men are closer and the recommendation is to move
to the stalls ahead to avoid a public fire fight. Once there press and hold LT
to take cover. While in cover tap A to move to the next cover spot. Once Sam
has moved twice hold your position because their is an armed man just ahead.
Grim overloads the transformer and the lights go out just as Sam flashes back
to 20 years ago.
Move to the door next to Sarah's name and enter. Sarah is afraid of the dark and
needs the light on. The good dad that Sam is, he complies with her request. Sam
doesn't stop there though. He turns her fear into a lesson on stealth game play.
Man, he really is a total badass. Once he convinces Sarah that its good to sleep
in the dark she asks for the light off. Sam will then mention that when its dark
you can see into the light but when in the light its hard to see into the dark.
Basically, the point is that when you notice the screen is black and white Sam
is almost invisible to enemies. Sam then discusses that in the dark one may be
able to see different ways to ensnare "monsters" that are trying to move in the
dark. A sound similar to glass shattering is heard coming from another room.
This leads Sam to leave Sarah and...
The scene then returns to the current situation with the tranformers blown.
While behind cover align the cross hairs over the enemies and press RT to shoot.
Its best to wait for the the enemy to be relatively close and move the cross
hairs over their head. Once the three thugs are dismissed we flash back to Sam
leaving Sarah's room, overhearing some ill-advised thieves (boy did they break
into the wrong house). This sequence teaches you to Mark and Execute. In order
to have the ability to Mark and Execute, Sam must first preform a stealth kill.
An enemy will try to get the jump on Sam from the room on the right. When he
does press B to activate a stealth kill. In this tutorial the action will stop
allowing Sam to mark the other two thieves with RB. Once both are marked press
Y to execute. Unfortunately, the commotion brings Sarah from her room.
We return to Sam on the run and the screen displays that LB will alter the Sam's
position from standing to crouching and back. Stand up and grab one of the
dead guy's weapons (if you want) and move forward. Slide from cover to cover
until you see the light. Peform a stealth kill from the cover on the enemy
looking away. Next mark the two other enemies in the courtyard and execute them.
As Sam reaches the 40m mark from the target, Grim announces she knows the
identity of the leader of this band of marauders, Dmitri Gramkos. Sam's new
objective is to reach, grab, and interrogate Dmitri.
Move by the car using cover to traverse the alley. In the next open area Sam
will be able to see at least four enemies with a fifth hidden at the back right.
The guy at the back right is Dmitri. As Sam reaches the piece of cover closest
to the enemies, the one in the orange vest will approach. Stay hidden and use
a stealth kill. Now Sam can mark and execute two of the enemies leaving one more
and Dmitri. Once the two marked enemies are executed quickly take out the third
guy without shooting Dmitri. He will fire a couple of shots then run. Pursue
him down the stairs. He has locked himself in a room. Use B to bash down the
door. Inside, Sam will disarm Dmitri and begin their discussion. When Dmitri
decides he does not want to talk press B near one of the urinals to persuade
him to do so. Any time Dmitri decides to become tight lipped move him around
the room to an interactable object and interrogate more.

Kobin's Mansion                                                          [WLK2]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the beginning of this level Sam "finds" a mirror that will allow him to look
under doors. Walk to the door in front of the car to try out the new tool. Now
that you know everything is safe open the door and enter the next area. Kobin's
compound is to the right. Do not get too close to the main gate because once
Sam is seen the guards will begin firing. Instead look for a door at the corner
of the compound (Sam will be about 25 m away) and use the mirror to investigate
the number and location of enemies. It looks like there are three, one on the
other side of the door and two at the front gate. To the right of the door are
a line of parked cars. Move to the one across from the corner then press B to
sound the car's alarm. When the alarm goes off move to the compound's wall and
climb over it. Wait for the guard to exit then drop below. Look for a pipe on
the side of the building before the other two guards. Climb to the top of the
pipe then move across the face of the building to the first window. Toss the
guy standing inside the window to the outside and enter.
Move through the door in front of Sam and turn left (ignore the guard looking
over the balcony). Take cover in the next room behind the chairs. Mark and
Execute the two men inside then exit through the door on the far right. Remain
on the second floor and follow the balcony to a double glass door. Enter the
hall through the door. At the end of the hall Sam will find a Weapon Stash that
can be used to upgrade Sam's weapons and equipment. Be sure to equip the MP 446
and purchase the reflex sight. Sam will now have the ability to Mark and Execute
three enemies at a time.
Continue down the hall and move toward the chatter in the next room. Find the
pipe in the corner (its okay to move through the lights no one will see you).
Climb the pipe and shimmy until Sam is over an enemy press LT to use the Death
From Above maneuver. Climb the next set of stairs. An enemy in a green shirt is
looking out the window on the right. As long as he is looking out the window and
not patrolling Sam can walk right behind him unseen. If he is mobile it may be
best to take him out. Walk down the stairs at ahead and quickly turn right into
the next hall.
Walk down the next hall and pick up a couple of EMP grendes on the table (they
really should not have just left these sitting out like that). When needed, use
the X button to throw a grenade. Continue down the stairs for an autosave and
information that will flash on the distant wall.  Move to Sam's left and find
the pipe leading to the ceiling. Climb it to move over the guard investigating
this side of the room. Once Sam moves over the enemy drop below and exit through
the door (after checking to see if anyone is looking on the other side). Once
through the door turn and face the door. Jump up to a thin pipe and begin to
move along the wall to the right. Stop at the thicker pipe and use it to move
across the ceiling to the opposite side of the room. When the pipe turns left
take that path until it curves toward the floor. Wait for an opening as Kobin's
men begin to move forward. When it appears safe slide down the pipe to the
ground and move through doorway.
Go up the stairs. Enter the next hall and exit to the outside via the green
door. Once outside find the pipe attached to the wall and climb up. Shimmy to
the right and pull the guard out of the building through the first window.
Two more guards are coming down the stairs. Mark and Execute them then go to
the 2nd floor of the compound. Korbin is in the room at the top of the stairs
and he is scared. Unfortunately, we do not have a Mark and Execute available to
enter the room with, but we can get one. Move to the window on this floor and
exit. Continue to shimmy to the right until you are behind an enemy near the
window. Pull him out to his death and Sam now has a Mark and Execute manuever.
Return to the front door of Kobin's room and shoot out the three nearby lights.
As Sam is killing the lights, paranoid Kobin will send one of his thugs to the
door to investigate the lack of noise. Make some noise by bashing the door in
the enemies face then retreat to the pillar opposite the window exit we took
just a short while ago. Wait for at least three enemies to exit the room then
Mark and Execute them. A fourth guy will come out right after them. This one
will need to be shot manually. With the room clear, move to the window again and
exit. Slide back to the right as far as Sam can go and enter the room. When
Kobin is not looking (shooting in another direction), move to his location and
practice your interrogation technique.

Price Airfield                                                           [WLK3]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press B a couple times to "hit" Grim then exit the cage to grab some C4. First
though Sam needs to silently take out the patrolling guard. Mark and Execute the
remaining enemies then grab the C4 on the table behind their bodies. Walk up the
stairs of the hangar and peak under the door. There is an enemy standing on the
other side and one patrolling to the right. When safe open the door and silently
take out the guard. Close the door and take cover behind one of the barriers in
the railing. The enemies are located as follows:
1 in a small communications room to the lower left
2 working on the helicopter
2 in the back left corner underneath a "trap"
1 straight ahead on the same platform as Sam
1 under the platform and to the right of the screen
Lets first focus on the guard patrolling the platform. If you are quick enough
it is possible to crouch walk to his location and kill him without being
noticed. Watch at the distant right for an enemy to begin walking toward the
"trap". Once he is close to the trap behind the helicopter the stationary guard
we are focusing on will move. If time right you can take out the guard quick
otherwise. Patiently wait for the guy to move from his starting location and
leave the platform. At this time move to the right and take cover near the
corner. Watch as the guard returns to the platform and walks across the bridge.
He will then turn left and walk away from Sam. At this point follow him for a
stealth kill. Return the way you came but stop before you reach the corner. Look
down to find another enemy. Drop of the edge of the ledge and utilize the Death
From Above Maneuver. Climb the yellow pipe and drop when you are near the door
out. Exit and jump the railing that is on the left when you look at the door.
Drop to the floor of the porch then shimmy left to the open window. Climb in
through the window and drop into the opening in the floor. Open the door and
quietly take the man at the computer as a human shield. Reenter the room Sam
just left and kill the guard. Exit and move to the wall with the tools then take
cover near the machinery behind the guys working on the helicopter. Mark and
execute the two men at the helicopter and then shoot the trap above the two
others. Once the trap begins to fall press Y to Execute the enemies at the
helicopter. Plant the C4 then exit the hangar.
Once outside outfit Sam and upgrade weapons using the Weapon Stash. Move toward
the light, passing the parked truck. Ahead is a series of barracks with several
enemies patrolling the area. The power relay in in the barracks in the back
right corner. One option here is to clear each of the barracks from enemies
which is what will be described first, the other options is to move to the power
relay station unseen.
First though we will try to take out as many guards as possible. The first
building on the right has a guard outside and one inside. The one outside begins
the level next to a patrolling enemy. Wait for him to leave then sneak up beside
the stationary guard and grab him for a body shield. Move to the side of the
building and kill the guard. The one inside is easy. Enter through the window
and take him out. Be sure to grab the frag grenades on the table the soldier was
standing in front of. Exit through the window in the back and move to the next
barracks. It is empty but there are two enemies between this building and the
next that are easily dispatched with a Mark and Execute. Continue to the back of
the last barracks in this row. Wait patiently for a patrolling guard to enter
the room. He will pause at a table near the front then come to the window at the
back. As long as Sam is in cover beside the window, he will not be noticed. Once
the guard turns quickly enter through the window and grab the enemy for a body
shield. Move backwards close to the window then kill the guard. A second enemy
is stationed just outside the open door on the left wall. Stealth kill this
guard and exit the final barracks in this row. Go in the direction of the arrow
painted on the ground to find the Relay Barracks. There is a window at the back
of the building where Sam can Mark and Execute all three guards inside. Enter
the barracks and pull the switch at the end to cut power to the base. Exit the
barracks and move through the door next to the gate with the stop signs. Since
we didn't clear the other buildings in the area the remaining guards will be
alerted to a disturbance. You can avoid them and push forward or kill them as
the search the area.
****************
*STEALTH OPTION*
****************
After passing by the truck with the lights on move to the right and go behind
the first building. Depending on your speed there may be a guard looking out the
first window. If so wait until he move then continue forward. Take cover behind
the second barracks and move to the corner. Two guards are between the buildings
talking. Use the Next Cover maneuver to go from barracks two to the corner of
barracks three unseen. Enter barracks three through the open window (check for
guards inside first because one does make a patrol in). Take the first door on
the right using the guard outside as a hostage. Bring him to the relay station
and execute him outside the building. Now move to the back of the relay station
and perform a Mark and Execute command on the enemies inside. Pull the switch
and move on through the gate to the right of the relay station.
Now the goal has changed to plant C4 charges on the satellite dish to prevent
tracking. The dish is in the back right corner of the next area. Move by the
Weapon Stash and take cover next to the opening in the tent. Wait for the
patrolling guard to move into the next room then enter. Move all the way to the
right and exit through the door. Make a left and reenter the hangar. Once back
inside jump onto the wall on the right and hang. From this spot Sam can see
the satellite and the guards stationed around it. Jump the wall and move toward
the truck ahead staying to the right of the large devices. Stop at the concrete
divider and wait for any nearby guards to leave. Jump the divider and circle
around to the satellite to plant the C4.
Head toward the building at the back of the base closest to the satellite and
enter. Move to the far right of the building and take cover behind the crates.
Watch for the guards to begin to move to the left then head for the front of
the building and exit to the right. Keep going until you reach the fence.
Follow the fence until Grim talks again. Around the truck on the right will be
another group of enemies searching for Sam. Stay close to the truck as you move
around it and take cover behind the first column. Wait for the guard to check
out the area directly ahead of Sam then move to the next column. The guards
will work there way toward the area near the truck. While they are doing that
Sam should be moving toward the fence (staying on the right side of the area).
Once Sam reaches the last of the columns, line up a head shot on the soldier
inside the guardhouse and enter. Use the console to disrupt the gate security
system and exit through the door next to the gate.

Diwaniya, Iraq                                                           [WLK4]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash to 20 years ago in Iraq. Move by the broken blue road sign and take cover
behind some dividers to the left just behind the broken white bus. Use the zoom
to find the two enemies in the distance and open fire. Continue forward and look
for the charred van at about 183 m away from the goal. Use the scope to view the
enemies. One soldier will begin to move toward the white car just ahead and
pause as if he is looking for something. Wait for him to finish and walk by your
location behind the burnt van. When he does use your hand to hand capabilities
to take him out. Now scope the other enemies and fire with precision to take
them down. When you near 114m from the target destination you will see a blue
pick-up truck. A guard will be standing at the bed of the truck. Take him out
quietly and approach the group of three soldiers to the left. While in cover
behind the white car toss a grenade to hopefully take out all three. A single
patrolling enemy may remain. Quickly snipe him and move forward passing under
blue road signs that read Baghdad 110 km and Iraqi Border 60 km.
We have now arrived at what appears to be a fueling station. The area is
swarming with Iraqi soldiers. There is no stealth to be had. Take inventory of
the enemies then begin picking them off. The fuel truck can also create quite an
explosion that my help even the odds slightly. Move cautiously behind the
barriers and scope out the distant enemies while remaining behind cover. The
goal is a double door blue gate at the end of the path. After passing through
the gate move down to the red car and look for enemies. The objective is to
search the buildings but that is not really necessary. Stay on the main path and
simply take out all of the enemies before passing through another blue gate.
Enter what appears to be a school and clear it of enemies. Exit into a play
ground only to hear an interrogation in progress. Cross the playground and
crouch at the window ahead. Kill both of the soldiers attempting to retrieve
information from your friend then enter the building through the door on the
side and rescue your squad mate. Once the cinematic has ended take cover behind
the debris. Utilize the red barrels to take out enemies easier. Defend your
position untill reinforcements arrive.

Washington Monument                                                      [WLK5]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam finds himself at a fairground attempting to meet with Coste. Unfortunately,
Coste has men tailing him. The goal is to locate the men and eliminate them
without being detected or seen by the public. Each of the three men will be
mobile and marked by a white X on screen. The key to accomplishing the objective
is to approach each spotter cautiously. Be sure that you see them before getting
to close. Once Sam sees one of the spotters watch their movements and follow
from a reasonable distance. When the enemy enters an area that is dark and/or
hidden from public view close the distance and take the spotter out.
The first enemy is patrolling near the merry-go-round. He will walk behind the
bumper cars. This is the perfect site to strike. The next two can be found
around the food court. Move by the claw machines that are located behind the
bumper cars and look to the left. If you see the large Lemon then you have found
the food court and the location of the final two spotters. One of the men
tailing Coste will stand near the "Cola" machines then move away from the Lemon
and make a circle around the booths behind the "Cola" machines. The third
spotter will arrive in front of the booth with the kegs and walk toward the area
where Sam took out the first spotter. He will then turn into the opposite alley
toward the Porta Potty and circle around next to the Space Explorer Ride.
Now that we know how the final two enemies move its time to take them out.
Depending on the location of each of the spotters there is variability on how to
take them out. The goal is to end up behind the "Cola" machines to take one out
and to take the other out behind the Royal Seventh. If there is no one behind
the Cola machines or behind the Royal Seventh it should be safe for Sam to
approach the Cola machines, hide behind them, and wait for one of the spotters
to return. If you see the guy in front of the Cola machines wait near the area
behind the bumper cars and watch for the "third" spotter to walk by and move
toward the Porta Potty where he can easily be dealt with. Then move to the area
behind the Cola machines to take out the other one. The position of the enemies
will dictate the order in which they are eliminated.
Sam will notify Coste once the last of the unwanted guests are gone. The meeting
between Coste and Sam is set for a building a the base of the Washington
Monument. Coste provides some equipment to Sam that will help with the upcoming
events.
Quickly move back toward the fair but do not reenter through the opening/gate.
Instead move to the right and there will be a small opening in the back of the
booth where Sam can enter. Stay behind the counter and jump over on the far
right when it seems safe. Continue on the path to the right passing by the
Blazing Hoops game. Head toward the car near the Mob Shooting Range game and
turn left down the alley. Turn right into the next booth to avoid the soldiers
ahead. At the end of the counter will be a bucket and cash register. Jump over
the table and head right. Move into the dark area and go through the hole in
the back of the booth. Sam should be behind the counter of the Water Shoot Game
looking at some soldiers. Move to the last gun of the game on the right and
wait. There is a soldier down the path to the right in front of the Mr. Lucky
Ducky game. Stay hidden until you see the soldier circle the Mr. Lucky Ducky
game and come around the far corner close to the large Pirate sign. (If you can
tag the patrolling enemy Sam will be able to move sooner because you will be
able to tell sooner when it is safe to move). When you see this soldier jump
the counter and head right. Ahead you should see large lettering "The Fair",
make a right into the alley. Next turn left and Sam should be approaching the
merry-go-round. Peak around the corner to find three soldiers walking toward
Sam. Now go back the way you came and stop at "the Fair" lettering. If the
Lucky Ducky patrolling guard is not looking move around the corner to the right
to get behind the three guards moving toward the merry-go-round. Sam should now
be about 35 meters from his car at the exit point of the fairgrounds. There will
be several enemies approaching the ramp leading to the fair. Quickly move left
of the ramp and into the darkness to avoid being seen. If you made it into the
darker area safely, Sam can move by the remaining guards (sticking to the
shadows) without being seen.
Walk in front of Grim during the intermission between missions.

White Box Laboratories                                                    [WLK6]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam should head toward the gate ahead from the left. A guard will stand at the
gate then walk to the guard house and then back to the gate. This pattern of
movement is repeated. Move to the divider closest to the gate and when the
guard turns to walk into the guard house jump the divider and the gate. Once
across the gate move toward the back of the guard house and cross the parking
lot. (Alternatively, you can just shoot the guard in the head).
The left corner of the building has a pipe that Sam can climb. Once at the top
turn to the right and jump up to the next rooftop. Walk under the wires ahead
and find another pipe to climb. At the top shimmy to the left and climb the
next pipe. At the top of this one move to the left again and climb the very
next pipe. This time once at the top move to the right to find a walkway Sam
can climb onto. On the right side of this walkway is yet another pipe for Sam
to climb. At the top move to the right to find the last two pipes that lead us
inside the facility.
Go straight ahead jumping two pipes then ducking under a third. Climb onto the
brick surface and go left. At the bottom of the stairs you should see a building
with scientists inside. Move to the end of the walkway to find a yellow pipe Sam
can slide down. Continue to move down the platforms until you reach the Security
Room. Use the camera to peak under the door to see who is inside. There are
three enemies inside. Climb the yellow pipe across from the door to reach the
roof of the building. Mark the two enemies that are not directly below Sam.
While hanging above one of the soldiers drop through the skylight using the
Death From Above Maneuver. As soon as you hit the ground press Y to Execute the
other two enemies that were Marked. Investigate the console to take control of
the security cameras. Change the camera feed until you find the one showing
several guards forcing some scientists to work on a project.
Exit to the left and move down the platform. Jump through the window to the room
below. To Sam's immediate left is a wall that he can use to jump to a small
roof. From this vantage point you can see the entire room. Watch the patrolling
guards movements and take note of the position of the stationary guards. One
guard will walk to the front of the room near a dark area. Move there and take
him out silently with a hand to hand attack. Return to the roof and utilize the
Mark and Execute ability to take out the majority of the remaining soldiers. A
guard may remain but without reinforcements any one left will be no match for
Sam. With the soldiers defeated the scientist is safe. Walk to his location and
question him. The scientist lets Sam into the elevator. Ride it to Robertson's
office.
Exit the elevator and use the camera to peek under the large metal double doors
ahead. Inside you should see a couple soldiers executing a couple of scientists.
Move through the door to the left and open a window. Jump out the window and
shimmy to the left to get a better view of the enemy locations inside the room.
Move to the enemy standing in front of a window and open it. Mark the other
four enemies inside the room. Pull the guy in front of the window out to his
death then Execute the others inside. Enter the room and move down the hall.
Just before the stairs with the objective "Reach Robertson's Office" written
on it, is a column with a yellow pipe on each side. Climb the pipe on the left
to the top. When you can not go up any more look for a small office and take the
pipe in that direction. When it is safe (the patrolling guard has moved away)
drop below near a desk and take cover. Safely open a window and jump to the
outside. Move to the left while on the outside of the building until you reach
the walkway with two stationary guards talking. On the left side of the screen
there will be a pipe on the walkway shrouded with darkness. Climb on to the
walkway and quickly climb the pipe. There is a patrolling guard near the pipe
that Sam will have to be wary of. The two stationary guards should not be a
problem. Now, Sam has returned to the outer wall of the area. Move to the right
until Sam is under the final window. A guard will patrol the area near this
window. Wait for him to walk away then open the window and enter the room. Move
through the door ahead and turn off the lights. A Weapon Stash is just ahead.
Move by it and listen to the discussion with Grim.
After talking with Grim move to the left and enter the next room. Wait until
the patrolling guard has moved then jump out the window ahead. Move to the
left as far as possible. Sam should be under a window and next to a large silver
pipe. There are 3 stationary soldiers and one on patrol inside the room. Wait
for the patrolling guard to move away from Sam then enter the room. Stick to the
shadows and move to the left. Exit the room through a window. Climb onto the
walkway and climb the pipe at the end near the dead scientist's body.
Move to straight to the door and hit the light switch. The area to the right
has a pressure sensitive lighting system. As soon as Sam takes one step onto the
floor the lights will come on alerting anyone nearby of his presence. Behind the
door Sam will find two stationary guards. A third guard will walk by them and
patrol the area with the pressure sensitive lighting system. If you have a Mark
and Execute saved take cover by the door and open it. Mark all three soldiers
and wait for them to all be in view then Execute. If you do not have a Mark and
Execute you should be able to take out the patrolling guard when he approaches
and gain the ability (just be sure that you do not enter the pressure sensitive
area before he does or the guards will start looking for Sam). I could not find
a way to move around these guys successfully/repeatedly without being seen. Once
the three guards are down turn the corner at the end of the hall and jump up to
the roof of the "cubicle" in the next area. From Sam's vantage point you should
be able to see a patrolling guard in the foreground, two stationary guards
inside the cubicle, and one patrolling guard in the back. Move to the rear left
of the cubicle roof. Watch for the guard at the rear to move into the cubicle
at this time drop to the left (outside of the cubicle) and move to the area
vacated by the guard. Do not use the door, instead jump out the window and move
to the outer area of the next room.
When Sam reaches the window at the corner of the building enter the room and
crouch. Move forward and jump to the roof of the cubicle near the fallen chair.
Walk to the back left corner of the cubicle's roof. Drop to the ground and walk
behind the guard to find a yellow pipe on the far wall. Climb it and move under
the stairs. Drop into the next room to find Robertson's office. Grim wants Sam
to be prepared for the potential for company. Place a remote mine near the
elevator, then move to the desk with the computer and "Connect". There are two
viable options now, Sam can either protect the console from the ceiling of the
room by climbing the pipe near the computer or exit the room via the window and
protect it from outside. Sam can see the enemies more clearly and quicker if
you use the pipe but exiting through the window provides more protection.
The enemies will flood the room in a pattern of waves.
First Wave: elevator
Second Wave: Door behind elevator
Third Wave: Door near the stairs at the back
Fourth Wave: Elevator
Fifth Wave: Door near the stairs at the back
Sixth Wave: Door behind elevator
Final Wave: Comes at around 80% complete and the enemies come from all
three areas.
The task is much easier using explosives to thin the crowd especially when a
wave comes from the elevator. Any enemies not destroyed by the explosives should
be shot. Since the last wave has the most enemies it may be wise to save at
least one detonating device to deal with the larger numbers.
Someone is trying to trace Grim's position. Exit the office via the stairs.
Follow the walkway to a pipe that will provide Sam access down. Drop into
the room below and be prepared for a trap. As soon as Sam approaches the EMP
device the room will be filled with enemies. Quickly move by the EMP device and
climb the pipe on the other side of the room. While hanging above the room Sam
can hit the canisters to cause explosions, shoot out any of the lights, target
the enemies with his pistol, or use Death From Above. There does not seem to be
a way to detonate the EMP without at the very least killing the three enemies
patroling the platform where the detonation console is located.
Once the EMP detonates climb back up to the ceiling using the pipe at floor
level and to Sam's right when looking toward the exit. Three soldiers will enter
the building and walk right underneath Sam. Move to the large gate but stop and
take cover on the left side of the opening. As Grim and Sam talk three more
soldiers will be on their way to the door. Wait in the shadows for all three to
pass by then exit to the car.

Lincoln Memorial                                                         [WLK7]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam can move freely at in the area around the memorial. Simply walk to the
camera control booth and hack the controls. Pressing the D-Pad will change the
camera in use and pressing R3 will zoom in. As Reed and Galliard move around
the Lincoln Memorial Sam will have to alternate among the cameras to record
the conversation. The order that will provide the best results is:
Camera 1 --> Camera 2 --> Camera 1
Once the conspirators part ways exit the camera control booth and head toward
the Lincoln Memorial. If you make it quick enough Galliard will have his back
turned talking to Grim on the phone. Move to Galliard and begin Sam's patented
techniques for extracting information.
Towards the end of the interrogation an agent no doubt working for Reed kills
Galliard and runs. Chase him across the stage and into the VIP tent just before
the camera control booth. Enter with cautious quickness because he will fire
shots at Sam. Take cover and continue foward movement until he runs. Exit the
tent and jump the fence. Police are now on scene and will be looking for Sam.
There are direct orders from the president that no Washington D.C. police
officers are to be killed during the chase for Galliard's killer. As you exit
the next tent and move around the white truck Sam will encounter to police
officers. Take cover near the end of the truck and wait for one to approach.
Take him out with hand to hand combat then move forward. If the second one sees
Sam take him out too, otherwise continue pursuit around the corner. The
killer will knock over some storage trunks that same should jump over as he
stays in pursuit. After passing the truck that is backing up the killer will be
waiting to fire some more shots at Sam. Again move forward cautiously but
with a sense of urgency. As Sam closes in he will run again. Climb the wall and
enter the next tent. This one is kind of a maze. The killer will fire blind
shots at Sam but keep the pressure on. Exit the tent only to be encountered by
two more officers. Take them out gently or just run by. Give chase through the
video truck and slide under the truck trailer. Cross the street and run through
the cafe. Upon exiting the cafe turn left and give chase down the stairs.
Now that the Galliard's killer has been dealt with there are multiple Third
Echelon agents in bound. Run back up the stairs and enter the cafe. Move to the
second floor and jump through the window. The objective is to hold out against
the agents until Sam's transporation out arrives. Sam will ultimately remain
undetected by hanging outside the window. If this seems like an easy out or a
chicken way of handling the situation feel free to open fire killing all that
approach (it can be really fun). After three waves of Third Echelon agents are
unable to locate and deal with Sam Fisher. Drop to the ground and run to the
right to find your ride away.

During this level Sam has to avoid detection. This means not being detected by
guards or security cameras. Also the mission will be over if a guard comes
across a dead body or Sam shoots a security camera to disable it.
Move to the back of the car and hug the wall as you move toward the motorcycles.
At the motorcycles turn right and jump to the roof of the office. Here you will
find an open grate. Inside will be two guards discussing the area's security.
Stand over the opening so that you can see the car Sam rode in to the parking
garage. The Death From Above option should appear. Use it to take one guard out
then press B quickly to take out the other with Sam's hand to hand fighting
skills. If this is too tricky one of the guards will leave the building then
you can take out the other. Defeating this set of enemies gives Sam a security
access card. Exit the office.
A camera is surveying the area just outside the door of the office. Be careful
as you exit to not get seen. Move to the left and climb the pipe. Use the pipe
that runs across the ceiling to arrive near the next camera. Jump over the ledge
and go to the left. When Sam can not go any further left, drop below. A guard
will patrol this area. Once the guard passes by and is closer to Sam's entry
point continue forward staying in the shadows. Sam should reach a
dead end. At this time come out of your crouch and jump to grab hold of the
ledge above. Move to the opening in the wall and enter the first room where C4
is to be planted. Exit using the same vent system that you entered but do not
drop to the floor. Move over to jump over the rail and enter the parking area.
Walk down the ramp when the guard walks away and hide behind the white truck.
Another guard will be patrolling behind the cars in this area. Stay close but
behind him in the shadows. When the guard walks to the right move to the door of
the second transformer room and plant the remaining C4. Move back up the stairs
of the transformer room and check under the door. If the guard is at the
opposite end of the parking area exit and walk toward the stairs on the left.
Jump over the railing, enter the elevator, and take a ride up.
Walk up to the desk to speak with the receptionist. Once the dialogue is over an
alarm will sound. A security gate behind the desk will begin to slowly descend.
The same will happen down the hall to the left that Sam must travel. Take cover
behind the desk and toss an EMP grenade/flashbang into the security room ahead.
Jump the desk and take out the guard as he tries to exit the room. Head down the
hall only to be greeted by two more enemies. If you were able to take out the
initial guard with hand to hand combat then simply Mark and Execute the next two
otherwise toss a grenade, flashbang/EMP to get the upper hand and take them out.
Sam is unable to enter the restricted access area at this time. Instead go down
the stairs
and take cover at the corner. Watch the guard enter the first office
on the right. When he does follow him and continue to the "window" and jump over
the edge. Slide to the right until Sam can go no further then reenter the office
area. There may be a couple of guards that begin to move to the left but pay no
attention to them. Continue forward to the next set of cubicles and a checkpoint
This next area also has survelience cameras on the wall that will alert everyone
to Sam's presence. Move to the center of the office area and jump up to the roof
of the first set of cubicles. Walk to the left corner and jump down only to jump
up to the roof of the next set of cubicles. Now cross the roof heading toward
the right corner and drop off the edge. Move straight forward to the next office
area and jump up to the roof of the cubicles. Go to the left corner and watch
for the guard below to move toward the "window". While he is looking out jump
down and go through the door. Close the door once inside and move to the right
side of the room to find the next door. Hit the lights and peak under the door.
The timing of this part is crucial to not being seen. The guard that you passed
by looking out the "window" will investigate this room. However, Sam does not
want to leave too quickly because there are two guards standing outside the next
door. Wait for them to begin to move then head out. Here is yet another tricky
part. A camera is in the corner watching over the door out. Time Sam's path to
stay out of the view of the camera. Enter through the door in the Server Room
and talk with Fryman. He provides Sam with a new toy.
Jump above the desk between Fryman and the door out to reach the ceiling of the
server room. Use the goggles to identify/tag the location of all hostiles. The
door out of the server room is to the right. Move to the left side of the door
(while remaining on the ceiling) and wait for the guards in the next room to
enter the server room. Once they are in drop down into the darkness. One guard
will remain beside the door but Sam can sneak by without detection. The camera
just outside the door is the main concern. When the camera is looking to Sam's
left, move through the door to the server room then through the door to the room
on the right. Head back the same way you came in and Sam shouldn't be seen. The
goal is to return to the "Restricted Access" area we had to pass by earlier.
Once inside flip on the goggles to see the lasers throughout the room. Move
under the first one and head toward the left. Wait for the double set to raise
then continue to the wall. Use the "flower" box along the wall to "jump" beside
the stationary laser. Move between the couches to the right and under the
vertically moving laser. Ahead will be an open area with a series of three timed
lasers. When the first one disappears move forward and continue forward as the
second and third disappear. Sam will be able to move under the fourth in the
series (this one does not disappear) simply by remaining in a crouched position.
The obstacle is a set of two horizontal and two verical moving lasers. The
timing has to be right to pass by unharmed. Try to wait for the horizontal
lasers to move to the side as the vertical ones rise before passing. Once Sam
makes it jump through the gap above the doors.
Kobin is in Reed's office. Walk up stairs and have a conversation with Kobin.
Sam will find a way to convince him to provide the necessary intel. Use the
Weapon Stash if necessary and prepare for an assault by the enemies. Three
soldiers will come crashing in. There is no escape, for them that is. So take
them out however you see fit. Once the discussion with Grim ends more guards
will enter through the closed gate near the Weapon Stash. Find a good hiding
spot (maybe even above the gate) and wait for the guards to enter the room.
Once they are all in (use the goggles) drop below and move through the opening.
If you are starting from a checkpoint, simply wait in cover near the Weapon
Stash for the guards to pass by then move in the shadows to the exit.
The next hall is full of lasers just waiting for someone to activate a turret.
Enter the room on the left side of the hall. Jump over the chairs while avoiding
the horizontally moving lasers. The door at the end of the room is blocked by
lasers. Jump to the opening above the door to enter the next room. There are
two large tables in this room. Sam can not move on either side of the tables due
to the presences of lasers. Instead, what you must do is avoid the moving laser
and jump onto the tables to cross the room. Exit through the door on the right
and move down the hall to the left. At the end of the hall turn right and move
through two doors. Once through the second watch for a guard to turn his back
