Splinter Cell
Here is a quick guide to the solo missions on Realistic. I’m only highlighting areas of the game you may want to pay attention too since there are quite a few challenges you can do in these areas. This is not a comprehensive walkthrough.
This game is way ESAY, even on Realistic. But there are a few things you may want to know to help it go faster. Upgrade your pistol ASAP (the Five-Seven). And also max upgrade all your gadgets. You can upgrade an assault weapon I would pick the one with the most mark upgrades, the MP5-SD3 is scoped which can come in handy for long range shots. I’ll tell you a couple areas of the game were you can stop and reload so that you can do some challenges and upgrade these weapons.
The one thing you will notice is that there will always be a “close” target you can grapple and far targets that you mark and execute. My advice is that you mark all far targets and then when you grapple the close target you can do instant executes of the remaining far targets. This is almost ALWAYS the case though out this game. 90% of your killing will be done in this fashion. So the only real challenge is to figure out what targets are what.
Second Mission: Kobin's Mansion
The first section you may want to reload is the Mansion mission, which is the second mission. After you go through to the door, stay to the left side of the street. Once you get to the mansion look under the door on the left side. You will see a target, crouch and open the door and take him out with the B button. You will notice (2) guards in the distance. Now go back thought the door outside the mansion and follow the wall on the left side. You will see a car on the right side of the street just in front of the mansion gate. Go to that car an bump it to set the car alarm off. Go back to the shadows on the left next to the wall and wait for the guard to come investigate. Mark him and execute. The next guard will come out to investigate so shoot him in the head.
Now go to the left side of the front door and climb the wall to the window, ledge grab the guard. You can reload here and ledge grab this guy over and over, but there is a better spot for that later on in the game. Now jump thought the window. IMPORTANT: Once you’re thought the window look up at it and close the window. Now go to the light switch next to the door and turn it off. DON’T OPEN THE DOOR! Now head right to the far door, look under it and mark the two guys. Open the door and execute. Now, go back to the other door. Open the door and hold the B button to grab the guard as a human shield and take him to the window you closed. Aim your gun sights in the center of the window and as your moving towards the windows throw him at it. Now go back though the door you grabbed the guard from and shoot the chandelier. Finish the level.
Fifth Mission: Washington Monument
You can complete this level without firing a shot. When the level starts you need to take out three guards. The first guard is on the left side. Just follow him into the dark and take him out and interrogate. Stay in the dark area. Form where you caught the guard if you turn right then immediately left you should see the “x” of the next guard. Go straight to the next dark area and sneak up on him. Go in the same direction you were heading before you grabbed the guard and turn left. Then right. Stop and watch the last guard walk straight ahead. Now turn left and go straight you should see another dark area on your right with (2) porta-pottys so hide behind those. Don’t follow the guard! You should be on the opposite side of the building to him. Now wait. The guard will come around and stop right in between the building and the porta-potty. So take him out once he turns his back to you.
Practice you crouch roll. There are two areas of this section where it comes in handy to stray undetected. I believe its ether LT or LB button once you’re in crouching mode.
I recommend watching the video below first for this section of the game. However, there is an area which i don't recommend following the video so keep reading. The important point is once you going under buildings and jump counters to ALWAYS stay in the crouch position and go to the far side of the counters before jumping over them. There are (5) zones in the area of the game. Zone 1 is on the right side of the monument side rear park entrance. Go under the building on the right and then go to the far right side of the counter and jump it. Zone 2 is straight ahead to the car headlights turn left and crouch-roll to the pallets on the left side. Wait for the guard to move away. Now head to the counter on the right follow it and jump it when you get to the cash register. Go straight to the dark area. And head under the next building to the counter. Zone 3 now here is the tricky part, NOTE: This differs from the video and its much safer and more reliable method and will save you many repays. While crouching behind the counter couch walk just past the first guard and wait. Now pan the camera right till you can see a far guard. You should just be able to see him. Wait till he moves and then couch walk to the right side of the counter and jump it and head towards the far guard’s previous position. Now turn left and head to the next dark area. Zone 4 go straight till you see a small knee high fence on your right jump over it and immediately head left towards the park entrance. Timing is critical here. Once you get to the small ledge crouch-roll to the first barrier. If you don’t the last set of guards may spot you. Zone 5 once you’re safely behind the barrier, now use the “A” button and make your way on the left side. You should see a knee high fence on your right so use it to crouch walk till you see the last 2 guards on your right. It looks imposable but you can make it past them. The timing on this is really important. You need to set off an EMP pulse and sneak past the last two guards STAY LEFT. Now just jump the last obstacle and head to the car. As long as you don’t fire a shot and don’t reload the last checkpoint you should get quite a few challenge points. If you’re having issues with this then just finish the level and come back and do it on easy.
Sixth Mission: White Box Laboratories (i.e. Challenge Chamber)
The very next level is the warehouse level where you will get 80% of your challenges done here. It’s very easy level. I don’t recommend doing the challenges on Realistic. Just finish the level and then come back and do it on easy. The area you need to get too is quick to get too and super short. Also, there is a checkpoint there so just go back and do them later.
Once you start just take out the first guard. You can shoot him…but if you can try and take him out hand-to-hand. Now make you way to the right side of the building. You can run since there are no guards. Once on the right side start jumping and make you way up the building using pipes and ledges until you get to balcony. Now proceed up the pipes and shimmy across the scaffolding until you get inside. Now just run till you get the Challenge Chamber area. Climb up the pipe and take the three guards out anyway you wish. This is the area you will be reloading to do most of the challenges. BTW you can stack challenges here so plan them out and do 2-3 at a time. Now proceed to the next area jump through the window jump down and head to the fork lift. Wait till the guard moves right and follow him and take him out. Now mark-execute everyone else. Proceed to the next area to compete a rather annoying sticky camera challenge. NOTE: Go to the weapons stash and fully upgrade the sticky camera!!! Once you get the sticky camera from the weapons stash throw one on the floor in front of the left hand side of the double doors. Now open the door on the right hand side of the weapons stash, turn the light off, and stay hidden up against the wall. Now go into camera mode and turn it so the camera is facing the door. Now make noise and attract the guard thought he door. Once he opens the door destroy the camera and taking him out. Now peek thought he door you’re hiding next too and throw another sticky camera at the side of the reception desk. The further to the left you can throw it the better. Now go into camera mode and wait till another guard comes in the room. Make noise and when he gets close blow him up. You should get 3 kills and just rise-repeat (5) more times to finish the sticky camera challenge. Go to the weapons stash and get more stick cameras and finish the level.
Seventh Mission: Lincoln Memorial
Quick note about this mission, at the end once the car explodes immediately turn around and head up the steps to the right. Go straight then turn left and then head into the bathrooms on the right. Go into the bathrooms and crouch behind the sinks. Three sets of enemy’s will show up but don’t engage them…just wait them out. Nobody will check the bathrooms. In the odd chance they do you can easily hand-to-hand them without alarming anyone. But they never go inside the bathroom. Just stay there until you getaway car arrives. Once it does go outside to the left then left again and run to the bridge. This strategy makes this level super easy.
Eighth Mission: Third Echelon HQ.
This is the last area of the game where you have a missable challenge. An Important point about this level is that you have to take out the first two guards to get the key card. If you don’t, you will have to quite out and reload the chapter from the main menu because at this point the level becomes impossible. IMPORTANT: Once it starts go to the back of the car to your weapons stash and make sure you have an assault weapon!!! You will use your pistol to kill but you will need the assault weapon at the end. Then crouch walk on the left hand side to you get building the two guards are in, climb the building, go to the skylight and take them out. Jump down and take the key card. Now while crouching watch the security camera, when it starts to move left open the door and go to the concrete wall on the right. Jump the wall and jump down and make you way to the door on the right. Set the C4. Now go back out of the room and make sure the guard is in the back of the parking garage and the camera is panning left. Make you way to the concrete wall on the left and jump over it and jump down. Stay hidden and make sure the guard on your left is past you. As you make your way past the steps on the right make sure there are no guards on them. Proceed straight if the guard is gone jump up over the wall make you way to the foot path on the left go to the top of the foot path and wait for the guard looks over the side that the camera pans left. Crouch walk to the other side and make you way to the door on the right. IF you don’t think you can make it go back to the center of the footpath and jump the wall and just hang there. While you’re hanging pan the camera behind you and wait till the previous guard walks past you on the right and then turns his back to you. That is your sign that the guard on the left top is in a good position to sneak past. Just time the camera. Once you plant the C4 head though the air duct and jump down one ledge and while you’re hanging on the ledge and make you way right till you get to the white Celica. You should be hanging between the concrete pillar on your left and the White car on your right. Wait for the guard to look over the edge on the right side of the car then he will move past you and look over the edge next the back van on your left. Make sure the camera is panning right, this is you sign to jump over the concrete barrier and go straight and jump over the other side. Jump down one level and hang there and pan the camera to make sure there are no guards. Now jump down and make you way to the elevator on the right. Once inside the lobby you will have to jump the counter and kill the first guard. Then proceed left down the hall and take out the last (2) guards and slide thought he gate as it falls down Now that you’re past the tricky part, just proceed thought the level normally. Once you get the second floor use your goggles to get past the security nets. There are two areas with security nets with guards in-between. So take them out. I recommend taking out one guard hand-to-hand and the make-execute the others. Also when the gate opens with the last set of four guards try and hand-to-hand the last guard so you can execute later. Now use your goggles and head though the last security net. (good luck, I recommend watching the video below first).
Once past the last security net proceed normally until you get the third floor. I recommend saving the last guard as a hand-to-hand since mark execute is important shortly. Now head up the stairs on the right and quickly make you way to the left hand side and hide behind the wall. Two enemies will crash thought the celling in the hallway and they are tough so mark-execute them. NOTE: Switch to your assault weapon before going into Grim’s office. Once the cut scene is done just run through the level auto-execute everyone. Since is auto-one-shot-one-kill you will get the 15 kills with one clip challenge.
Ninth Mission: Michigan Avenue Reservoir
This is a great time to utilize your MP5-SD3 scoped weapon. First mark and execute all the enemies around the first generator silo then hide in the dark and take out the last two with the MP5-SD3. After you set the first locator, got to the right then crouch crawl along the building to your left. DO NOT go around the corner. While peeking around the corner of the building set a remote mine on one of the crates on the right. Now go a couple steps around the corner and start the enemy spawn then quickly fall back to the generator silo. Go around the silo to the left and then fall back a bit and detonate the remote mine and clean up the remaining enemies with the MP5-SD3 in scope mode.
Also, This is a great area for ledge grabs…there are a couple of areas in this section of the game where you pop up out of the sewer and can ledge grab a guard. I suggest you reload these checkpoints and keep doing that until you get all the required ledge grabs. There is a section towards the end of this level where you have to deactivate a sentry machine gunner. You will know the area when you get to is because when you ledge grab the guard you wind up in a sewer house. This is a great area to not only get ledge grabs but also mark enemies with your sonar and also use the guard as a human shield and execute several opponents.
Now just finish the game and go back to the challenge chamber and do the challenges on easy!!
