Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory Hints
From where can I overhear Shetland's meeting?
1 of 8: After you take care of the two I-SDF guards, you need to find the large private bath room that has a small bridge crossing a large pool.
2 of 8: A technician periodically enters that room to do stuff, so watch for him to exit it and then sneak in.
3 of 8: There's a floor-level crawl space at the end of one corridor that leads to a dark corner of the bath room. Using it will help you enter the room undetected.
4 of 8: The best way to approach that crawl space is to start at the desk at the beginning of the area and head down the corridor. At the path split, turn left and continue to where that hall intersects another one. Get to where you can shoot out the nearby candle, then quickly go for the crawl space and enter it.
5 of 8: If the technician is in the private bath area, wait until he leaves before you go exploring.
6 of 8: When it's clear, slosh along the pool to the little bridge and hoist yourself up on it.
7 of 8: Then find the crawl space in the back of the little glass-walled plant area and crawl to the end. You can't exit the crawl space at that end, but you can listen in on the all-important meeting.
8 of 8: BONUS: After the meeting is over, use the EEV to read the "Chaos Theory" file on the laptop that was left behind. (Or to make sure you get a message about it from Grim, read the file before the meeting is over.)
