Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Hints
Where are all the hidden mics?
1 of 9: TIPS: Switch to thermal vision whenever you're trying to spot a mic. You'll find most of them on walls near telephones.
2 of 9: The first one is in a room of the big building past the courtyard with the cars in it near the beginning of the mission.
3 of 9: If you entered the building by going under the walkway and up through a floor hole, then find a nearby sliding door and go through it to end up next to the room with the mic. If you entered through the porch window and then a crawl space, sneak to the left when the hallway guard isn't in the way.
4 of 9: Wait until the guy who's hunting for mics leaves the room, then quickly turn on thermal vision to find the mic in the wall near the plant that's near the room's light. Sneak up to the mic when no one is looking into the room and quickly disable it.
5 of 9: The second mic is in the dining area. If you don't gas the guards, then sneak in and head for the bathroom and take its left crawl space to the kitchen. Sneak from the kitchen back to the dining area, and you'll find the mic hidden in the wall to the right of the phone. (If you need to distract the guards while you're going for the mic, you can OCP the light that's over near the bathroom door.)
6 of 9: The next mic is in the corner next to the phone in the bedroom that's close to the door to the bathhouse room where Milan Nedich is talking to several guys.
7 of 9: Another one is on the wall to the left of the phone that's setting on a large light in the room where one guard is watching a large TV set. (You come to this TV room soon after you leave the bathhouse and go through a terrarium room.)
8 of 9: From the TV room, go to the bedroom where a guard may or may not be standing and staring out a large window. When he's not there, sneak in and disable the mic that's near the doorway, just to the left of the bed.
9 of 9: The final mic is in the wall to the left of the big bed in the large downstairs bedroom in the two-floor area past the glass sliding door (down the hall past the TV room).
