Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Hints

Now how do I find the ship's transit ledgers?

  • 1 of 9: After you leave the engine room and go through the sliding door to the crew quarters area, scrunch up in the dark corner near the door and wait for a patrolling guard to get in a good position for you to grab and interrogate him.
  • 2 of 9: Drop him in the dark corner, then head up the stairs to get a message from Grimsdottir saying that you're close to the ship's office, which is where you'll find the transit ledgers.
  • 3 of 9: Before you go into the office, shoot out the ceiling light that's just outside its open door. If a guard comes out to investigate, hide until he drops a flare and goes back into the office, then wait for the flare to go out.
  • 4 of 9: Sneak carefully inside until you hear a conversation start up, then go back outside.
  • 5 of 9: If a guard has already checked out the light you shot, then retreat back around the corner near the top of the stairs and wait for him to pass, then sneak up behind him and hit him as he leans against the railing. Otherwise, wait just outside the office door for the guard to notice the light's out, then hit him as soon as he leaves the office.
  • 6 of 9: Sneak back into the first office room and find the switch to shut off its lights (near the computer).
  • 7 of 9: Then look through the doorway into the next room and use the pistol's OCP to fizzle the overhead light in there. When the computer guy gets up to investigate, sneak up behind him and knock him out.
  • 8 of 9: After he's down, you can find the transit ledgers you're after by either using the computer or searching the nearby file cabinet.
  • 9 of 9: ALTERNATIVE: You could use the crawl space near the floor in the first part of the ship's office to reach the other room, then scan the computer the seated guard is using with the EEV. After that, you can just sneak out the back door and move on.
