Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Hints
What's the main way?
1 of 14: The front door to the NDT building is up a few steps on the wall to the left of the truck. If you left any soldiers conscious in this area, sneak carefully up there and quickly close the door behind you to avoid detection.
2 of 14: Move quickly forward into a room with large smoking equipment debris.
3 of 14: Go over to the upright debris on the left and jump up in order to grab onto a pipe.
4 of 14: Hit the Jump key again to get your legs around the pipe, then quickly move forward until you're over the doorway.
5 of 14: If you do this fast enough, you can do a "grab character" on the soldier who walks into the room briefly to check it. However, this will kill him, which counts against you on your mission rating. Instead, you should wait until he turns around and leaves, then drop down and sneak after him.
6 of 14: When you come to a doorway on the left, go through it and hit the light switch to turn the lights off.
7 of 14: Then scrunch up against the wall to the right of the nearby bookshelf and wait for the patrolling soldier to come in.
8 of 14: As soon as he turns the lights back on, either grab him or hit him with Alternate Fire to knock him out.
9 of 14: Then quickly turn the lights back off so that one of the other two soldiers nearby will come up here to investigate. While he's on his way, drag the body of the first soldier a ways off, then quickly get back into position to get the second soldier.
10 of 14: NOTE: The third soldier may even come up and fall for your light switch ambush! If so, treat him just the same as the other two.
11 of 14: After you dispose of all the soldiers who insist on turning on the lights, go back out to the main walkway and continue on to where you see a hallway to the left and some stairs down to the right.
12 of 14: Sneak quietly down the stairs and into the server room, whose door was blown off earlier while you were cleverly ambushing soldiers.
13 of 14: Sneak around to the back of the room and then up behind the soldier who's using the computer (unless he fell for your ambush earlier).
14 of 14: After he's down, you can go up to the computer he was using and choose to take the NDT drives that you've been after.
