Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Hints
How can I get to Zherkezhi's penthouse from the roof?
1 of 14: Very carefully, since a helicopter full of guardsmen has just arrived, and there are a lot of lights around here.
2 of 14: Move forward from the door you came through until you can see the large AXE sign off in the distance to the right. (You're seeing it from behind, so look for backwards letters.) You need to get over there, so start planning how you're going to get by all the guardsmen.
3 of 14: One good way is to move forward until you reach some horizontal pipes, then head left to find a light switch on the wall.
4 of 14: Hit it to get some attention, then move back to where you can see across the pipes to the helicopter and the guardsmen.
5 of 14: If not all of the guardsmen are heading off to the left, then OCP the spotlight that you can see near the helicopter. That might distract the last guardsman.
6 of 14: Then move down to the right a ways and mantle over the pipes. Do this fairly close to the stairs that lead across them, but not too close due to the light.
7 of 14: You should then be able to crouch-run safely over next to a large squarish thing that's near the big AXE sign.
8 of 14: By that time, the guards who were decoyed off by your light switch trick will be coming back. Decoy them again by OCP-ing the light you can see on the wall near them.
9 of 14: Then round the corner of the object you're hiding behind, hit the AXE sign with the OCP, and quickly crouch-run over to the ladder on its left side and climb it.
10 of 14: At the top of the ladder, run to the other side of the little catwalk and jump up in order to grab onto the cables there.
11 of 14: After you slide across the cables and down the pipe at the other end, you'll be safe from the guards near the helicopter.
12 of 14: Sneak along the well-lit ledge you're on until you can see around the corner.
13 of 14: Wait until the flashlight-carrying guard is walking away from you, then hop over onto his ledge and sneak into the penthouse on the lower floor.
14 of 14: If you have trouble doing this without being seen, then while still on the ledge you start on, carefully move off the edge and quickly turn so Sam will grab the edge of the ledge as he falls. Now shimmy to the right all the way along until you're at the far end of the penthouse's lower balcony and can shimmy no further. Then climb up over the railing while the balcony's guard isn't nearby, then sneak over to the door and through it (and hope the guard inside is off in the kitchen or something).
