Introduction
--------------
Greetings. Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is the latest installment in the
Syphon Filter franchise and the first to go on PSP. This is actually the
first Syphon Filter game I've ever played, and from what I gather, it's the
best one.
In this FAQ, I'll be going over how to complete every mission step by step,
and will tell the locations of all the Hidden Evidence. I will also mention
how to obtain all the stealth, and environmental kills. For the most part, I
will do what I can to not include any spoilers, but some are obviously
unavoidable. Finally, feel free to e-mail me with any tips or corrections
concerning this FAQ.
Here are the abbreviations I'll be using:
HE = Hidden Evidence
SK = Stealth Kill
EK = Environmental Kill
DU = Depleted Uranium container (Episode 4 only)

[#A1] Episode 1, Part 1: 'Insertion Point Alpha'
Difficulty: 1/5
Stealth Kills: 5
Environmental Kills: 5
--------------------------------------------------
You'll start with your back against the wall. Wait for the soldier to
finish examining the dead construction worker, and he'll walk past you.
Make sure you're crouching, and knife him in the back (SK:1/5). Now turn
around, and you'll notice that to your left there's a Medkit, pick it up. Go
back against the wall, and fire an EDT dart to take out the Squad Commander
up top (SK:2/5). Head over to the dead construction worker, and pick up the
Security Card.
Turn right, and notice the barrel behind the fence. Shoot it to blow it up.
The fence will now be open, move in while crouching to avoid being spotted by
the 2 guards that will show up. They will move back, allowing you to knife
both of them (SK:4/5). There's a barrel there, but blowing it up now will
only get you 1 environmental kill, when later it can be used for more. Turn
around and you'll notice a ladder to the right by the side of the fence,
climb it. Once at the top, look to your right and up, and you'll notice that
there is a dead construction worker further up. Grab the Hidden Evidence
(HE:1/3).
Get back down to the rooftop and you'll notice an RTL (wire) nearby, use it
to get to the other side. With the Security Card you picked up earlier,
you'll be able to open the door. Pickup the M67 grenade, Hidden Evidence
(HE:2/3), and M1 Super 90. Go outside, and two guys will almost immediately
attack you. Take them out. There are now several paths that you may take:
1a) Head back to the first dead construction worker where you started, and
move to the alley that you avoided earlier. Quickly move right behind the
first steel girder, and you will hear a guard throw a refinery worker down.
This guard is high up, and if you turn on your IR goggles, it's possible to
take him down right after he tosses the guy for a stealth kill with an EDT
dart (SK:5/5). Even if you don't manage it, there will also be a guard on
the ground, allowing you to get another stealth kill (SK:6/5). Once the
guards are down, head down to the gate on the right.
1b) If you're going for environmental kills, also head back to the first dead
construction worker. Equip your EDSU goggles, and you'll notice 2 explosive
barrels. First, go for the barrel on the right, which you can use to kill
one of the guards that come out of the alley, and the guard that zipped down
the line (EK:2/3). Now use the left barrel to take out another guard
(EK:3/5). Once the rest of the guards are down, head down to the gate on the
right.
2) You can also take a neat shortcut to avoid fighting some guys. To take
the shortcut, head back to where you knifed the two guys and avoided shooting
the barrel. There will be a crate you can climb, where you can then climb
and hang onto a pipe. Move left along the pipe, and drop down when you reach
the end.
Teresa will message you about breaking a lock. Do as she says and open the
gate. I like to use the EDT taser to save ammo. Climb down the ladder and
there will be from left to right: a Flak jacket in the box, a Medkit, and a
Hidden Evidence on the floor (HE:3/3). There will also be a soldier that
will come around the big silo, so take him out.
[Checkpoint]
Head to the other side of the area and climb up the ladder. Regardless of
which side you pick, a soldier will spawn in the little opening so shoot him
down. There will be another ladder on the other side, climb it. When you
reach the top, a soldier will appear behind the fence facing you. Once he's
dead, before you climb the next ladder, switch to your MB-150 (Sniper rifle),
make sure you're standing, and snipe the guy waiting for you up the next
ladder. Climb up the two ladders, and in the midst of the second one, there
will be a cutscene. You will have 20 seconds to climb up and pull the lever,
don't worry, its more than enough time.
[Checkpoint]
You'll now have to protect Lian. Use your MB-150 and snipe the enemies as
they come. Notice the barrel that you left alone earlier, it is possible to
get 2 environmental kills out of it (EK:5/5). Now order Lian to move after
every wave; remember to reload after every wave; and that there is an ammo
crate to your left. A fun trick that you can try if you already know where
they are going to come from is to fire an X34 or Explosive dart on the
ground, and detonate it when they walk over it. At the end, Lian will send
you a zip line by the ammo crate. Slide down to end the mission.
-------------------------------------
[#A2] Episode 1, Part 2: 'Red Jack'
Difficulty: 2/5
Stealth Kills: 2
Environmental Kills: 2
-------------------------------------
You'll start with your back against the wall again. Move a bit to your
right, get off the wall, turn on your EDSU goggle, and blow up the tank on
the lower level (EK:2/2). This will kill the soldier manning the stationary
machine gun. That done, there will be a soldier far down who has undoubtedly
noticed you. Turn on your IR goggles, and kill him with an EDT dart. Notice
that there's a Medkit and a Flak jacket nearby, use them if you need to.
You could take the RTL onto the other side, but you'll want to head down the
ladder for two Hidden Evidences. At the bottom, three guys will fire at you
from multiple sides, snipe them one by one. With them dead, move forward to
the left of the burning tanker, and turn left. Notice that the fence is
damaged, and that there is a pipe on the wall. Climb the pipe, and head down
to the dead refinery worker. There will be a short cutscene, and you'll be
able to pick up a Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3).
Head over to the locked security door on the other side of the burning
Tanker; go inside for another Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3); and a Flak
jacket. Now go back to where you started, and RTL across. A soldier will
pop out as you are still on the on the zip line, gun him down. There will be
a Flak jacket in a box to your left if you need it. Head along the walkway,
turn left at the end for the final Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). There's also a
Medkit if you need it.
RTL to the other side, and there will be a soldier that will walk towards you
to inspect what's going on. Take him out and head down the walkway. Make a
left, and notice the ammo crate. Restock your ammo, and open the door.
There will be 2 guards with their backs turned. Quickly take both out with
darts (SK:2/2). Head towards them, and you'll find a Medkit, and a Flak
jacket. You'll notice a computer, but it has no power, so use your EDSU
goggles, follow the cable, and "Bypass Circuit." Before doing so
however, I recommend you kick over the table to the left of the computer.
Usually one of the guards will do it, but in this case (since you killed them
while in stealth) you'll have to do it yourself. Now go and use the
computer.
[Checkpoint]
Two guards will now open the door to attack you. If you're quick, head
behind the table, and fire an Explosive dart to kill both of them in one
shot. Head outside, and there will be a sniper to your right on the other
side. Once he's dead, head right and down the ladder. Guards will swarm you
as soon as you reach the bottom. Quickly take cover and pick them off one by
one. I recommend equipping your IR goggles to help, and taking cover
alongside the building. Once they're all dead, turn on the elevator switch
for your first boss fight.
[Checkpoint]
= (BOSS) Red Jack =
Sending this guy packing is very easy. As soon as you start, run back to the
ladder and RTL. While dangling in the air, fire at the canisters on his back
and blow him up. You can also use your EDSU goggles for a better view of the
canisters.
--------------------------------------------
[#A3] Episode 1, Part 3: 'Finding Freeman'
Difficulty: 1/5
Stealth Kills: 4
Environmental Kills: 2
--------------------------------------------
Here's a short level. As soon as you start, head over and activate the
switch to electrocute the guard fixing the control box (EK:1/2). You can
also knife him for a stealth kill (SK:1/4).
Notice a wire overhead, and RTL over the fire, being careful not to get
burned by the timed flame jet. Shoot open the vent on the ground, and head
inside. Move your way down the vent, and fire at the switch to stop the fire
before getting out. Turn on your Night Vision goggles, and pick up the
Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3) by the flame jet. Turn around, and notice on the
ground the locker combo number 938. There's also a Flak jacket, so pick it
up if necessary.
Now climb up into the next vent and observe 2 fans on your left. Note that
you can zap with the EDT taser the middle of the fan to slow it down (equip
your EDSU goggle, and you'll see that it glows a faint yellow). Now fire at
the switch on the other side to open up the path.
[Checkpoint]
Head on down, and you'll see a guard angry at a vending machine. Wait for
him to break the machine, and he'll go play pinball. Melee him for the
second environmental kill (EK:2/2), or knife him for another stealth kill
(SK:2/4).
Still stealthily, move down the hall, and you'll notice 2 guards looking
at a TV to your left. If you turn on your EDSU goggles, you'll see that
there's a remote on the coffee table. Press it, and the second guard will
also start working on the TV. Now use your X34 dart to kill them both
(SK:4/4). As soon as they're dead, the elevator will sound, and a guard will
come from the next hall to your left. Before anything, pick up the Hidden
Evidence (HE:2/3) on the couch to the left of the TV. Now switch to your EDT
taser and zap the guy as soon as he shows up. This guard will be carrying
an Elevator Key, so pick that up when you walk over his corpse.
You'll notice a number of lockers on the right side of the hallway. The
first has a Medkit, and the second locker can be opened with the code 938
from earlier. This one has the final Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). The last
locker has a Flak jacket. When you're ready, head over to the elevator and
press the button to end the level.
------------------------------------------------
[#A4] Episode 1, Part 4: 'A Man Without Power'
Difficulty: 2/5
Stealth Kills: 1
Environmental Kills: 5
------------------------------------------------
As soon as this mission begins, you'll see a guard to your right. Chase him
a little bit, but don't run all the way into the room. There will be a big
explosion (EK:2/5). Before proceeding, face the machine to the left of the
Flak jacket box for a Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3).
Go back and face the flame jets. Equip your MB-150, and snipe the switch at
the end of the room to turn off the flames. Head over to the open
door, and take cover. A guard will zip line down, and you can easily shoot
him when he reaches the ground. Now slowly move outside the door, sniping
the guy up top. Now quickly hide behind the small metal plate in front of the
broken walkway, and turn on your EDSU goggles.
Note that you can shoot the pipes under the guys on the walkway for
environmental kills, thus easily finishing up the tally (EK:5/5). Once it's
clear, RTL over, shoot the switch to the left to stop the flames, and pick up
another Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now walk to the other side of the walkway,
but before climbing up, make a left and you'll notice a Flak jacket box but
that's not all. Equip your Night Vision goggles, walk towards the box, and
turn left. There's your final Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3) of this mission.
Climb up the ladder for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
The guards will notice you immediately after the cutscene, but you'll be
against the wall, so it's no problem. Cap them both and climb inside.
There's a Flak jacket box, and an M1 Super 90 shotgun if you break the glass.
You might notice that you can move the painting and there's a safe behind it.
Don't worry about that yet, as you'll come back to that later.
Open the door, equip your Night Vision goggles, and two guards will run up
the stairs. Head down the stairs, and another two guards will attack you,
this time at the door. There will be a Medkit to the right of the door, and
a Flak jacket under the stairs. There's also a vent in front of the stairs,
pop it open, but don't go in just yet. Instead, go to the door from where
the guards came, then open the next door.
[Checkpoint]
Head down the stairs and you'll see the Refinery worker being threatened to
turn on the power. Fire an EDT dart through the window to score a stealth
kill (SK:1/1).
The Refinery worker will now tell you that he needs your help to turn on the
power. It's simple, turn on your EDSU goggles, and bypass the 3 circuits.
Now grab the lever, and pull it when he tells you to.
------------------------------------------
[#A5] Episode 1, Part 5: 'Freeman Files'
Difficulty: 1/5
Stealth Kills: 4
Environmental Kills: 2
------------------------------------------
The power's back on now, and as soon as the mission starts, use the radio in
front of you to tell the guards that everything's ok, or avoid doing so to
fight 2 extra guards. Now head on back up the stairs, and you can attempt to
go through the vent (you must have opened the other side in the previous
mission) for 2 stealth kills (SK:2/4).
With the 2 guards down, to the left of the Flak jacket box and stairs, with
all the machinery, is the first Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3). You can ask the
worker to open the door, but he'll mention that he needs a code. So head
back upstairs, and the refinery worker will tell you the code to open the
safe. There's a Desert Sniper inside if you wish to swap handguns.
Now head back down, and tell the Refinery worker to open the door that
requires a palm scan. Turn left, equip your Night Vision goggles, and
there's a Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3) on the floor and a Medkit behind the door.
If you hide here, you should be able to stealthily take out one of the guards
as he patrols in the next room (SK:3/4). With him down, enter the room, and
immediately turn right to get another stealth kill (SK:4/4) with the guy
using the computer. Now to the left of the door entrance that you just
entered, there are some computers and a Locker Key. Pick it up. Now go and
try to use the computer, and you'll find out that the server's offline.
[Checkpoint]
The Refinery Worker will then help you reroute the lines manually. Boost him
up, turn on your IR goggles, and help him activate the appropriate switches.
After activating 3 switches, 2 guards will show up in the ducts in an attempt
to kill the refinery worker. Snipe them through the walls. Heal the
refinery worker if necessary, and use the computer for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Once that's over, order the refinery worker to open the door. There will be
two guards hiding behind a few crates who will immediately notice you. Now
be wary:
1) For the Hidden Evidence, do not explode the flame jet. Kill the guards
safely, as to not destroy the hidden laptop in the corner.
2) For the 2 environmental kills, shoot the flame jet (EK:2/2). Press the
switch to turn off the flame jet.
Head over to where the guards were, and you'll find an ammo crate in the left
corner and the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3) of the episode in the right
corner disguising as a laptop. Ask the refinery worker to open the next
door, but he'll mention that he doesn't have clearance. Instead, he'll help
boost you into a vent, ending the mission.
-----------------------------------------------
[#B1] Episode 2, Part 1: 'Under NORAD's Nose'
Difficulty: 2/5
Stealth Kills: 5
Environmental Kills: 4
-----------------------------------------------
You'll start this mission as Lian with your back against a rock. As soon as
you start, fire an EDT dart at the guard at the far right for your first
stealth kill (SK:1/5). Head to where the guard was, and climb on the
farthest pair of crates, directly behind the plane, and turn around so that
you can see the 2 farthest barrels. You should be able to see 2 guards
patrolling. There are two things you can do:
1) If you're going for stealth kills. Take them both down with darts
(SK:3/5).
2) If you're going for Environmental Kills, here's a way to score 3 of them.
Wait until the guard on the left is standing by the barrels. The guard on
the right will not be standing his side's barrels, and should be on the far
right of his patrol route. Shoot at the barrels on the left, killing the
left guard (EK:1/4). If all goes well, the guard on the right will run up
for cover and will cross another barrel, which you then shoot to pick him off
(EK:2/4). Now more guards will come, and you should be able to take out at
least one more with the right barrels that could've been used to kill the
right guard earlier (EK:3/4).
You now have to find the missing drives. Though before you do, pick up the
Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3) at the 90 degree right of the plane's cockpit,
hiding behind a rock. Now turn on your EDSU goggles, and the locations of
the drives will flash. Be aware that if you've already alerted the guards,
which you definitely will if you're trying to get all the environmental
kills, everytime you pick up a drive, you will be attacked by several guards
from the outskirts of the map.
[Checkpoint]
With all the drives collected, the plane's back door will open, and an
armored guard will come out. Wait for him to patrol to the side of the
plane, walk directly behind him, and cap him with an EDT dart to avoid
alerting the 2 guards inside the plane (SK:4/5). Pick up the Transponder Key
Card that the guard dropped, take cover behind the crates, and get your final
stealth kill (SK:5/5). You can also get a stealth kill with the second guard
in the plane (SK:6/5). Now before using the computer, there are plenty of
Medkits, and Flak jackets lying around, so you might want to heal up. When
you're ready, use the computer.
[Checkpoint]
The plane's roof hatch will now be open, and a guard will toss down a smoke
grenade. Look up, equip your IR goggles if you wish, and gun him down. Once
he's done, climb up the ladder. Move a little bit towards the tail of the
plane, and you'll quickly get noticed. A guard will climb up the ladder, and
there will be a few guards on the outskirts for you to snipe. Now turn on
your EDSU goggles, and pick up the last 2 Hidden Evidences in the wings of
the plane (HE:3/3). You'll have to open the flaps to obtain them. Guards
will also attack you each time you do. Once they're down, plant the C4 on
the tail of the plane.
[Checkpoint]
The guards will have stolen the Snowcat, and there will be a guard on the
machine gun. While standing and facing the tail of the plane: turn on your
IR goggles, and move slowly forward until you can pop the gunner's head. Two
guards will climb up the ladder, so pick them off next before heading back
down into the plane. There will be a lot of guards inside and outside the
plane. Take cover, and pick them off. Once they're all gone, head towards
the Snowcat for the last part of the mission.
[Checkpoint]
You will now man the machine gun, and mow down the guards that charge at you.
Hopefully you've got some barrels left, and nab the last environmental kill
(EK:4/4). Once the guards are all gone, you complete the mission.
-----------------------------------------------
[#B2] Episode 2, Part 2: 'Security Section D'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 3
Environmental Kills: 7
-----------------------------------------------
Back to Gabe now, this will be the first mission where you'll have to beware
of trip mines. Start off by turning on your EDSU goggles and opening the
door. There will be two guards inside. There are two ways to take them:
1) Let them spot you, wait for them to position themselves, and fire at the
glowing pipe to score 2 environmental kills (EK:2/7).
2) Wait a little bit until they're both busy before opening the door. Now
pick them both off for 2 stealth kills (SK:2/3). Beware even if you do so, I
recommend still blowing up the glowing pipe to explode the mines they set up.
Now press the switch to turn off the flame jet, and head into the next room.
[Checkpoint]
Open the door, make sure your EDSU goggles are turned on, and say hello to
the laser trip mine. Shoot it from afar to detonate the mine unharmed. Now
head outside, equip your IR goggles, and take cover as several guards will
notice you. Take them out at a safe distance, as there are multiple mines
covering the area. Notice the Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3) on top of the crates,
climb the crates and pick it up. The flame jets from earlier will no longer
be activated, so head back inside.
Move down the hallway and you'll notice some stairs going down. At the
bottom, there will be a guard working on something on the wall. Turn on your
EDSU goggles, and fire at the unstable pipe for an environmental kill
(EK:3/7), or do it silently for the last stealth kill (SK:3/3). There will
be a switch on your right before heading down the steps, don't worry about it
as it only controls the flame jets from earlier.
Go down the stairs and press the switch at your left to turn off the flames.
There's also an ammo crate, so stock up before going in the vent. There will
be a guard with his back turned behind a fan. EDT taser the fan, to slow it
down, and kill the guard. Before shooting the switch in front of the fan,
move down the vent and pick up the second Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now
shoot the switch, and head down the vent until you get out for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
You have 4 minutes to fight your way to the controls to defuse the explosive.
Take cover, equip your EDSU goggles, and pick off the guards on the walkway.
Pick up the Flak jacket behind you if you need it, and use the RTL line to
get to the other side. There will be more guards on this walkway as well as
a mine. Drop down the RTL, and don't move. Pick off the guards from here,
and shoot the mine for 2 environmental kills (EK:5/7). With the guards dead,
run down the walkway, and climb down the ladder. Note that there's a Flak
jacket to the left of the top of the ladder, and that you might want to turn
off your EDSU goggles to see the ladder.
There will be three guards on this walkway. The first will charge at you,
take him out with a shot to the head. Two more guards will be hiding behind
a crate. Fire an Explosive dart at the wall beside them and blow them both
up. Run down the walkway, and note that there's a hidden ammo crate to
right, located before the RTL if you need it. RTL up, but be careful,
there's a laser trip mine on one of the pipes so blow it up before
proceeding.
Drop down at the end to face 2 more guards. Blow up the mine for another
Environmental kill (EK:6/7). With both dead, run down and pick up the Flak
jacket before climbing down the ladder. There will be more guards at the
bottom as well as yet another trip mine. Blow up the trip mine for the last
Environmental kill, and kill the remaining guards (EK:7/7). Hopefully you
still have well over a minute and a half left, to go for the last Hidden
Evidence. Notice that at the opposite side of the room with the bomb,
there's a bottomless pit. At one side of the pit, there are some crates.
You'll need to shimmy off the side of the pit to get behind the crates, and
pick up the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). To avoid falling into the pit,
remember to crouch before moving off the side.
Once you've got it, shimmy back, climb up the ladder, and defuse the bomb to
complete the mission.
----------------------------------------------
[#B3] Episode 2, Part 3: 'Kreisler's Garden'
Difficulty: 2/5
Stealth Kills: N/A
Environmental Kills: 6
----------------------------------------------
As soon as you start, you have a minute and 30 seconds (1:30), to rescue
Kreisler. Ignore the door, and pop open the vent to your left. Climb
through the vent, get out, and climb up into another vent. Don't get out of
this one just yet though. Instead, turn on your EDSU goggles, and shoot open
the 4 vents on the roof to clear the gas.
Once they're open, get out of the vent, and turn on the control panel to the
left. To the left of the control panel is your first Hidden Evidence
(HE:1/3), and a box with a Spectre machine gun. Before climbing up the
ladder, notice on the ground a dead refinery worker. Pick up a Flak jacket
and the Maintenance Key off of him. Now climb up the ladder and free
Kreisler for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Two guards will come in to investigate. Shoot them both down, and pick up
the Security Card off of one of them. There's a staircase heading to the
basement to the left of the ladder. Head down and open the door. A guard
will charge at you, but if you take cover and wait he'll move back. Fire at
the bursting pipe to score 2 environmental kills (EK:2/6). Beware of the
laser trip mine, and switch the flame jet off. Just around the corner, 3
more guards will attack you. Move back, and by shooting the flame jet; thus
turning it on and off; you can score 3 more environmental kills (EK:5/6).
Yes, they are that stupid. Note that there is also a Flak jacket by the door
you just entered.
There will be several more guards around the corner, and a hidden trip mine
guarding the elevator switch. Blow up the trip mine, and use the elevator.
[Checkpoint]
There will be a guard in front of you just as the short elevator ride stops,
get off the lift immediately, as it will plummet to the ground. Do not kill
the guard, as he will retreat, burning himself in the fire for the last
environmental kill (EK:6/6). There's another guard at the end of the hall,
and when both are down, enter the nearest room. In the four corners of the
room are an M4 Carbine, a switch to deactivate the flame jet, a Hidden
Evidence (HE:2/3), and a Medkit.
When you're ready, leave the room and head to the corner. It's an armored
thug with a flamethrower! This one is a lot less threatening than Red Jack
however, and his flamethrower will lock up after every few bursts providing
you with an easy shot. Blast the canisters on his back to put him out of his
misery. Head down the hall way, pick up the Medkit and Flak jacket if
necessary, and then open the door.
[Checkpoint]
There's some MAK-10 ammo on the other side of the room, and a guard waiting
for you at the open door. Slowly move to the entrance, and pull back as
guards will spawn from all sides in the room. Pick them off one by one.
Once they're all taken down, either destroy the laser trip mine guarding the
hallway to your left, and head down the stairs, or move down the walkway and
climb down the ladder to avoid the mines. For the last Hidden Evidence,
you'll want to head down the stairs, and take the left-most path. You'll see
the Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3) disguised as a fruit with all the plants.
At the bottom, scan your palm, and you'll have to hold the line as Teresa
works to open the door. Guards will come to attack you, and after killing a
few, the sprinklers will go off, forcing you to turn on your IR goggles for a
better view of the enemies. Once they're all dead, the door will open, and
you may enter. Pick up the Medkit, restock your ammo, and use the computer
for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
You'll now have to defend yourself as Teresa works do reopen the door. For
the most part, you'll be completely safe from gunfire. Just beware that the
guards will toss grenades when they come close. Once they're finished, the
door will open and you'll complete the mission.

[#B4] Episode 2, Part 4: 'Freeman's Answer'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: N/A
Environmental Kills 2
---------------------------------------------
Here's an interesting mission as this time it'll be you asking for cover. To
start, ask for cover by hitting "Select", and RTL on the wire to the other
side. Take cover, and ask Lian to cover you again as you enter the door to
the left. Inside, is an EMP grenade, a Flak jacket, and the first Hidden
Evidence (HE:1/3). Ask for cover again, exit the room, and head down the
ladder.
[Checkpoint]
There will be several guards that will attack you, take cover and cap them.
Take the Medkit to the right of the ladder if you need it and move up to the
doorway on the right. Turn on your Night Vision for a secret message, and
pick up the second Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Once you're done here, exit the
room, continue down the hallway, and turn left to meet some more guards.
Kill them however you like, and continue to the next room.
Three guards will enter to gun you down. Once they're down, pick up the
Medkit and Flak jacket in the box at the side of the room. Continue down the
hall and break open the lock to open the gate.
[Checkpoint]
Prepare to fight your way through a small maze of pipes and midst. Equip
your IR goggles and move up at your own pace. As you reach the end, notice
the Laser Trip mines which you'll need to use to score both environmental
kills (EK:2/2). Before heading up the stairs, make a left, destroy the Laser
Trip Mine, and pick up the last Hidden Evidence of the episode (HE:3/3), as
well as a Flak jacket. Now head up the stairs, and open the door for a
cutscene and boss fight.
[Checkpoint]
= (BOSS) Black King =
This guy's really easy when you know what to do. You have 2 minutes and a
half (2:30) to clear the 5 explosives. If you picked up the EMP grenade
earlier, toss it in the middle of the room to disable all the bombs! If not,
ask Lian to cover you, equip your EDSU goggles, and quickly head out to
disable the bombs. Whatever you do though, do not shoot them. When Lian's
reloading, move away from Black King. Once all the bombs are gone, fire away
and send Black King to hell. Note that you can still ask Lian to cover you
even when the bombs are disarmed; thus allowing you to gun him down with
ease.

[#C1] Episode 3, Part 1: 'Old Friends'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 7
Environmental Kills: 2
----------------------------------------
You'll begin this episode crouched and your back against some crates. You
will have two choices:
1) Turn on your EDSU goggles and destroy the large barrel for the first
environmental kill (EK:1/2). This will alert the guards to your position.
2) Use an EDT dart for the first stealth kill (SK:1/7).
I'll assume that you have not alerted the guards. Now get your back off the
crates and climb up building in front of you. Turn on your IR goggles and
you will notice two guards: one of them near a gun on the left, and the other
by the alleyway on the right. Use a dart on the one on the left first
(SK:2/7), then proceed to eliminate the one on the right (SK:3/7). Note that
the guard on the right will come investigate after you kill the first guard,
but he will then return to his previous position.
Once both guards are dead, while still on the roof turn around and notice the
wooden beam that you can shimmy on. Do so to get to the balcony. There will
be a vent to the left, turn on your NV goggles and crawl through it. On the
other side, knife the guard beating the woman for another stealth kill
(SK:4/7), and pick up the Hidden Evidence that he drops (HE:1/3).
[Checkpoint]
Now get back to your starting position by the crates and take the alleyway.
There's a Fire Extinguisher on the left wall, pick it up. As you go down the
road, notice that there's a Flak Jacket behind the gun. Head down the large
path and a guard will notice you. Once he's down, restock your ammo on the
left, and enter the building on the right. When you reach the doorway, there
will be a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Crouch, and move back into the corner of the room and face the doorway so you
can see the guard on the balcony without alerting him. Fire a dart to
eliminate the guard on the balcony (SK:5/7), then proceed to knife the guard
outside on your right (SK:6/7), or turn on your EDSU goggles and fire at the
little canister under the tricycle for the second environmental kill
(EK:2/2).
Once both are dead, before saving Hargrove, continue all the way down the
path, and to the right will be some crates. Climb over them and examine the
body for a Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3).
Head back to where you just sniped the guard on the balcony. Climb up the
roof on the side and get on the balcony. Turn on your IR goggles and take
out the guard through the curtains for the last stealth kill (SK:7/7). Enter
the room for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Before leaving the room, pick up the Flak jacket and Medkit. There will be 3
guards outside, take them out. Follow Hargrove and there will be a stand off
where you'll face off against a bunch of guards. With them down, follow
Hargrove and climb up into the building for a cutscene. You may need to use
the Fire Extinguisher to extinguish the flames if you blew up the barrel
earlier.
[Checkpoint]
Move the cabinet and enter the vent. Before exiting the vent, you'll hear a
guard on the radio say the combination of the safe "694." Now exit the vent,
and knife the guard for another stealth kill (SK:8/7), followed by a
cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Snipe the guard on the rooftop, open the safe for the final Hidden Evidence
(HE:3/3), pick up the Medkit and Flak jacket, and follow Hargrove out the
window. There will a large number of guards to kill as you tail Hargrove.
Once they're all down, continue following Hargrove to end the mission.
-------------------------------------
[#C2] Episode 3, Part 2: 'Memories'
Difficulty: 2/5
Stealth Kills: N/A
Environmental Kills: 6
-------------------------------------
Manning a turret, you'll have to protect Hargrove. By using the barrels,
you'll want to score 6 environmental kills (EK:6/6). There are 4 barrels, so
you just have to make sure that two of them score a double kill.
1) Right at the beginning, shoot the barrel on the far right to score a
guaranteed double kill.
2) Save the barrel at the top right to the time around when Hargrove is
harvesting the last plant, and enters the cabin. There should be a moment
for you to score a guaranteed double kill.
[Checkpoint]
Once Hargrove's finished collecting the plants, she'll enter a cabin.
Continue to protect her. Once all the guards are dead, pick up the Medkit
behind you, and the Dragunov SVD in the room behind you. Head down the
ladder, and to the right, there will be some crates and a dead body behind
them. Use your Fire Extinguisher, and pick up the first Hidden Evidence
(HE:1/3).
Head along the walls on the right, and at one point you'll notice a Fire
Extinguisher. Move towards it, and there will be a small doorway. Go inside
for a Flak jacket and another Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now move to the
cabin and Hargrove for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Move under the window in the cabin and snipe the guards. For the one manning
the gun, fire an Explosive Dart at his legs, and blow him up. Once the coast
is clear, pick up the Flak jacket, and restock your ammo with the boxes
behind you while still inside the cabin. Follow Hargrove outside, heal her,
and take out the multiple guards.
[Checkpoint]
Climb up the ladder, and at the top, there will be three guards on the ground
who will attack you. With them dead, use the zip line, and more guards will
attack from other side of the balcony.
[Checkpoint]
Move along, pick up the Flak jacket, and Medkit, and prepare to fight more
guards on the ground. With all the guards down, move down to the end of the
balcony but do not enter through the window to help Hargrove open the cabinet
just yet. Climb on the crate to the left of the window, and shimmy to the
left alongside the building for the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). Now enter
through the window, and help Hargrove open the cabinet to end the mission.

[#D1] Episode 4, Part 1: 'Forged Under Fire'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 4
Environmental Kills: 3
Bonus: Unlock "M1 Super 90" when you destroy all 5 DU containers
----------------------------------------------
Begin by eliminating the guard striking Jansen for your first stealth kill
(SK:1/4) and a cutscene. During the cutscene, Teresa will brief you about
destroying Depleted Uranium (DU) containers.
[Checkpoint]
Immediately move back, and order Private Jansen to move back as well to avoid
alerting the guards. Now climb back out the crack where you came from, turn
on your EDSU goggles and destroy the Laser Trip mine. Now move ahead and
pick up the Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3).
Return to Jansen, and take cover along the wall. There are two guards
patrolling down ahead. Eliminate the guard on the right with a dart as he's
patrolling away from you along the right path (SK:2/4). Turn on your IR
goggles, and notice when the left guard is looking away before taking him out
for another stealth kill (SK:3/4).
Once they're down, beware of the green slime and walk around the right of the
crate. Notice that there's a DU container, save it for now as you'll use it
to score an environmental kill later.
Head straight and make a left. There will a box with a Flak jacket. Now to
the right of the box, climb up, and pick up another Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3).
Climb back down, and head back towards the DU container you saw earlier.
Make a left at the entrance just before the DU container, and climb up the
crates in front of the slime. Climb to the top, and RTL. Move to the second
drop off point, and drop down for a short cutscene.
Guards will now swarm at you from the path you initially came from.
Immediately tell Jansen to hide, and pick off the guards as they go around
the crate. Now time your shot for when a guard is running past it, and
destroy the DU container (DU:1/5) for an environmental kill (EK:1/3).
Once they're all dead, before heading down the ladder, turn on your EDSU
goggles, and destroy the explosive on the ground. This will reveal a vent,
and open a path for Jansen to follow along. This provides you with two
options:
1) Head through the vent, and at the end, before exiting, destroy the DU
container for two environmental kills (EK:3/3), and a chain reaction on
several other DU containers (DU:4/5).
2) Head through the vent, and eliminate the first guard with a dart for the
last stealth kill (SK:4/4). It is harder but also possible to eliminate the
second guard for a stealth kill (SK:5/4). Once both guards are down, destroy
the DU containers (DU:4/5).
[Checkpoint]
Grab the Medkit on the left wall and help Jansen move the pipe for a
cutscene.
Tell Jansen to move back, and go eliminate all the guards. Restock your ammo
on the right if you need to, and climb the crate on the left. Shimmy on the
pipe over head to cross the slime, and more guards will attack you. Turn on
your IR goggles to clearly see them.
With them eliminated, climb through the window. Before telling Jansen to
install the frequency hopper, turn on your EDSU goggles, and destroy the last
DU container (DU:5/5) and the Laser Trip mine on your right. Head over
there, and pick up the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3), and the Medkit.
When you're ready, let Jansen install the frequency hopper to end the
mission.
-------------------------------------------------
[#D2] Episode 4, Part 2: 'Traitor in Our Midst'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 12
Environmental Kills: 5
Bonus: Unlock "M16" when you destroy all 5 DU containers
-------------------------------------------------
Right after the cutscene, tell Jansen to take cover. Get by the wall, and
destroy the first DU Container (DU:1/5) to score an environmental kill
(EK:1/5). Pick up the Medkit on the wall, and the Flak jacket in the box.
Before proceeding, turn on your Night Vision goggles, and carefully walk over
the plank.
At the other end, you'll hear some talking, so quickly hide in the corner, as
a guard will come by and turn towards where you just came. Take him out for
your first stealth kill (SK:1/12). With the guard down, you can order Jansen
to move over the plank. You'll have to shine your PID (Flashlight) so he can
see where he's going.
Now turn on your Night Vision goggles, and climb up the stairs. Beware of
the planks again, and cross over. By the door, there will be a guard with
his back turned. Score your second stealth kill (SK:2/12), and tell Jansen
to come install the frequency hopper. You'll have to shine the flashlight
again as he crosses the planks.
[Checkpoint]
The floor will collapse and Jansen and the frequency hopper will fall down.
Drop down, immediately take cover on the side, and order Jansen to follow
suit, as there will be 2 guards. Turn on your IR goggles to get a better
view of the guards, and take them both out for two more stealth kills
(SK:4/12). Move down the hall, pick up the Medkit on the wall, and head into
the vent to your left.
Out of the vent there will be 3 guards. Take cover along the wall, and wait
for the closer guard's back to be turned and that he be out of sight from the
other guard down the hall before taking him out (SK:5/12). Follow suit with
the next guard when the third guard's back is turned (SK:6/12). Now before
heading on, notice the Flak jacket in the box behind you, and the Hidden
Evidence (HE:1/3) on the corpse to the left before the boarded doorway.
Ask Jansen to come if you wish, and kick open the boards. Eliminate the last
guard for a stealth kill (SK:7/12) and destroy the second DU container
(DU:2/5) on the ground. Now look around the ceiling for an opening and ask
Jansen to help you climb up.
There will be 2 guards on top. Destroy the explosive by the wall to make a
path over the slime, and to score an environmental kill (EK:2/5). When both
guards are down, move over the path that you just made, and destroy the DU
container to your right (DU:3/5).
Notice the opening in the floor, and destroy the explosive for two more
environmental kills (EK:4/5). Once the guards are all dead, pick up the Flak
jacket, and drop down. There will be two more guards on the bottom,
eliminate them for a pair of stealth kills (SK:9/12). As soon as they die,
another pair of guards will come. Score two more stealth kills (SK:11/12)
before continuing down the corridor and through the vent.
[Checkpoint]
At the other side of the vent will be another pair of guards. Hide behind
the crate, and score another 2 stealth kills easily with an X34 dart as the
guards walk by each other (SK:13/12). Notice the DU container (DU:4/5) which
you can also use for the last environmental kill (EK:5/5).
With both guards dead, head down the corridor, and break open the boarded
doorway. There will be guard with his back turned whom you can easily kill
for another stealth kill (SK:14/12). Jansen will automatically come and will
require your help to move a board to make a path. Pick up the Flak jacket in
the box if you need it, and help Jansen move the board. Carefully move over
and open the door for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
There will be 3 guards patrolling. If you're careful, you could score
another stealth kill (SK:15/12). Finish up the rest of the guards, and move
forward to restock your ammo. Another guard will show up, pick him off.
Climb up the crates, and up the ladder. Immediately take cover, and take out
the close guard on the left, and the further one on the right. Head along
the walkway, and prepare for several more guards.
At the end of the walkway, there will be a cutscene, and you will zip line
down onto the barrack. Jansen will come out from where you started, and
you'll have to protect him as you order him to advance after every wave of
guards. After the second wave, there will be a:
[Checkpoint]
An initial pack of three guards will come out from the door. Fire an
Explosive dart to kill all three guards at the same time. Several more
guards will follow suit. If you're low on health, drop down onto the crate
in front of you, and use it for cover. You can also pick up a Medkit, and
even a Flak jacket in the Barracks.
Once they're all dead, head behind the right side of the barracks for a
Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now to the right of this will be some crates.
Climb up the crates and up onto the railing for the last Hidden Evidence
(HE:3/3).
Now just climb up the ladder, and tell Jansen to install the frequency
hopper. Teresa will now tell you the key for the keypad in the barracks, it
should be "541". Head back to the barracks, destroy the last DU container
(DU:5/5), and enter the code into the keypad to end the mission.

[#D3] Episode 4, Part 3: 'The Ultimate Sacrifice'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 2
Environmental Kills: 5
Bonus: Unlock "M4 Carbine" when you destroy all 5 DU containers
---------------------------------------------------
Head out the door, turn left, and destroy the first DU container (DU:1/5) on
the other side of the fence. Now head to the door on the other side, down
the stairs, and through another door. You'll notice a bunch of pipes and a
couple of guards patrolling.
It's possible to score your first environmental kill with the nearest
explosive to your left (EK:1/5), though it isn't necessary. For the stealth
kills, turn on your IR goggles, and you will have to score both stealth kills
here (SK:2/2). Go back to the door, and climb a little bit of the stairs to
fire darts over the pipe. Just try not to move beyond hugging the back left
wall in the large room as to not spawn the guard further away and up top the
walkway who will almost certainly detect you.
Eliminate the rest of the guards, and head to the end of the passage. Before
climbing up the ladder, continue down the path, and to your left you'll
notice the second DU container (DU:2/5). Now climb up the ladder, and 2
guards will attack you from afar. There's an explosive right beside them, so
you will want to run up to them until you can see it, and get two
environmental kills (EK:3/5). Try not to take cover beside the nearby
crates, as you can score environmental kills with the explosives sitting on
the crates later.
You will notice some crates in the corner of the warehouse, head over there.
To the left of the crates is a blockade of girders, and the first Hidden
Evidence (HE:1/3) just beside it. Now head to the crates, restock your ammo,
and heal yourself with the Flak jacket and Medkit before opening the cabinet
for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
There will be a number of guards. Kill the first one on the other side of
the railing where you climbed up the ladder earlier by firing at the
explosive on the ground by his side (EK:4/5). Now eliminate the rest of the
guards, and carefully head back to the ladder.
When you come near, more guards will zip line down at that area. Blow up the
explosive on the crates to score the rest of the environmental kills
(EK:5/5). Head back down the ladder, and as you make your way back to
Jansen, there will be more guards. Get back to Jansen for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Head down the stairs and through the broken-down door, three guards will pop
out from up top. Eliminate the guards, and climb over the wreckage and head
to the other side of the room. There will be 3 more guards up top. Head up
the ramp, and go to the door. Before going through, to the right, pick up
the Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now head through the door, pick up the Flak
jacket and Medkit, and open the next door.
[Checkpoint]
Notice that there's an explosive immediately visible on a crate. Do not
destroy it if you want the last Hidden Evidence! Instead, head down the
small steps while using the many objects for cover. There will be an
explosive to your right, which can easily net you another environmental kill
(EK:6/5) during the second wave of guards.
Before moving on, to the far right from the initial door that you came from
and hidden behind a crate is a DU container (DU:3/5). Move along the open
path, and there is another DU container (DU:4/5) to the right of the small
steps. Now move a bit farther down, and destroy the final DU container
(DU:5/5) in plain view to the right, near the ladder that you'll have to
climb.
Restock your ammo by the initial door if you wish, and climb up the ladder.
Take out the two guards that will come out on the other side. If you're
quick, there's even an explosive right beside them (EK:8/5). RTL on the
nearby line, and as soon as you drop down, two more guards will show up. Now
RTL again on the next line, and eliminate more guards when you drop down.
Hopefully you did not destroy the explosive in the beginning of this section,
and you will then be able to cross a wooden plank onto the small balcony
ahead. Pick up the final Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3), and an AU300 H-Bar
machine gun in the box. Now head along the walkway to a crate, climb it, and
shimmy along the side of the building. Enter the large double door, pick up
the Flak jacket and Medkit, open the final door, and head down the stairs to
end the mission.

[#D4] Episode 4, Part 4: 'The Trojan Horse'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: N/A
Environmental Kills: 2
No Hidden Evidence
---------------------------------------------
Right off the bat, let the 2 guards position themselves, and destroy the
explosive to pick up the 2 environmental kills (EK:2/2). A couple of more
guards will show up. Once they're dealt, two guards carrying Bazookas will
fire at you from the rooftops on the right and left. Kill them both for a:
[Checkpoint]
Quickly heal up with the Medkit and Flak jacket lying on the crate to your
right. Kress will come from your left. Simplest way to kill him is to wait
for him and zap him with your EDT taser. It will take a little longer than
usual, but eventually he'll die.
[Checkpoint]
= (BOSS) Tank =
Quickly return into the back of the truck, and pick up the SMAW Anti-Tank
Bazooka. Turn on your EDSU goggles, and destroy the 3 panels on the sides of
the tank. There isn't much to it, just take out each panel one at a time. I
recommend taking out the left and right panels first as they're harder to
hit. Destroy the front panel easily by climbing the crates inside the back
of the truck. When the tank fires its machine gun, just wait and it will
eventually stop.
------------------------------------------------
[#E1] Episode 5, Part 1: 'Fist Full of Rubies'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 8
Environmental Kills: 2
------------------------------------------------
You will begin with your back against a wall, with two guards and a spotlight
in view. As the guard closer to you moves completely out of the spotlight
and behind the statue, hit him with a dart for the first stealth kill
(SK:1/8). Now immediately move behind the statue, and fire a dart at the
second guard when his back is turned, even if he is in the spotlight
(SK:2/8).
To the left of the front door of the mansion, is a corpse and the first
Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3). There is also a Flak jacket in the box to the left
if you need it. Now head towards the right of the front door, and go up the
ladder as you avoid the spotlight. On the other side will be a junction box,
and you will be able to get Lian into the system.
Now climb back down, and head to the far left corner, away from the front
door, and essentially the opposite side of this area for another ladder.
Climb up, and head down the rooftop path. Climb the wooden fence against the
wall, climb the crate, and shimmy along the wall onto the balcony. Drop down
and enter the room. To your immediate left, pick up Yavlinsky's fingerprint.
[Checkpoint]
Pick up the Medkit on the left wall, and notice the Desert Eagle on the bed
if you want it. Now be careful as there are guards outside, as well as trip
mines. You'll have the choice of going for the 2 environmental kills or
maintaining stealth.
1) There are two trip mines in the outside hall. As soon as you go by the
door (at this same moment Teresa will be brief you about: "having company
here"), destroy the first trip mine for an environmental kill (EK:1/2). Now
a pair of extra guards will come from the down the hall, use the second
tripmine to blow them both up (EK:3/2).
2) For the pair of stealth kills, as soon as you by the door (at this same
moment Teresa will be brief you about: "having company here"), a guard will
move past and down the hall but do not kill him just yet. Move carefully out
the hall, and fire an X34 gas dart on the ground in between both guards at
the corner of the hall. If you place it right, it can kill both guards
(SK:3/8). Now destroy both trip mines before proceeding.
Enter the last door on the left of the hallway to enter a bedroom. To the
right of the bed is the second Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). There's also a Shot
Defender shotgun behind the Hidden Evidence. Do not go directly out onto the
balcony or else you will lose your stealth. Turn on your IR goggles, and hug
the left wall. Wait for the Security Chief to make his way into his room
before exiting onto the balcony. Now head onto the balcony, eliminate the
guard with his back turned (SK:4/8), followed by the security chief (SK:5/8).
If they survive the first melee attack, don't panic, just melee again
for the kill. Now enter into the bedroom, and pick up the Medkit, Flak
jacket, and the Security card.
[Checkpoint]
Go back to the hallway, open the door down the hall, followed by the next
one. Before leaving the room, take cover and eliminate the patrolling guard
by shooting a dart on his hand (SK:6/8). Head out carefully, and notice two
guards on the floor below. Take cover behind the pillars, fire at the
guard further away with a dart as he comes into view, and detonate it when he
returns to the left (SK:7/8). Now head to the other side while still
remaining on this floor, and snipe the next guard (SK:8/8).
Head down the stairs, walk around into the dark hallway behind, turn on your
EDSU goggles, and pick up the last small Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3) on the
painting. Pick up the Flak jacket under the stairs if you need it, and use
the keypad to end the mission. Note that if you score all the stealth kills
you obtain a slightly different conclusion for this level.
----------------------------------------
[#E2] Episode 5, Part 2: 'Blood Money'
Difficulty: 3/5
Stealth Kills: 7
Environmental Kills: 2
----------------------------------------
Two guards will be playing dice with their backs turned. If you wish, you
can obtain the environmental kills immediately, but I recommend going the
stealth route as you can also obtain the environmental kills that way:
1) If you want to obtain the 2 environmental kills right off the bat. Begin
by firing a loud weapon, and missing. The two guards will turn around, and
make sure that they call for reinforcements. Now eliminate them both, the 2
guards that will come, and head down the doorway. Notice the trip mines:
using the second one, and the third one, you should be able to score an
environmental kill each (EK:2/2). The guards will now be on alert however,
and I am continuing the walkthrough for this level assuming that you decided
to go for stealth.
2) Assuming you would like to go the stealth route and obtain the
environmental kills later. Fire an X34 dart in between the 2 guards, and take
out both (SK:2/7). Head down to the following doorway, use the left side for
cover, and eliminate the guard (SK:3/7). Take cover alongside the wall, and
notice the three trip mines. Walk near the first trip mine without
activating it and you will hear the nearby guard tell you a code, mine was
"415." Now slowly creep up to the first trip mine and disarm it, keep it for
later.
There's a door to the left of the first trip mine, enter the code into the
keypad, and open it. Head up the stairs, and to the left is a safe. The
code is "919," so pick up the first Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3). Note that the
code can be found to the right of the laptop in the Security room with
Yavlisnky. The code is displayed on an old calculator so you
cannot see it with your Night Vision goggles on. Do not bother looking for
the code for now, as you would have to forgive your stealth.
Once you have gotten the Hidden Evidence, go through the next door. Pick up
the MI6 recording devices for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Open the next door, and take out the 3 guards with their backs turned one at
a time (SK:6/7). Head down the walkway, and go down the stairs. Turn on
your EDSU goggles to see the 3 recording devices in the room. First however,
pick up the closest recording device on the bartender table, and notice the
doorway to your left. There's a guard there, take him out with a dart for
the last stealth kill (SK:7/7). Behind the guard is a coat, and in its
pocket is a Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now pick up the rest of the recording
devices.
[Checkpoint]
Head back to where you picked up the Hidden Evidence from the coat, and climb
over the counter. Go to the doorway and a guard will come. Kill the guard,
and head back to the hallway with all the trip mines.
Slowly disarm the 2 remaining trip mines, thus leaving the last one on the
ground as you can only carry 2 at a time. Now place the trip mines such that
when the guards later enter the doorway you just came in from to take cover
behind the statues (you just disarmed a mine that was attached to one), your
mines score you the environmental kills.
Once done, go kill Yavlinsky in the security room. If you approach slowly,
and stay close to the right wall, you can kill him easily with a headshot as
he waits for you. Pick up the AU300 H-Bar gun that he drops, but don't use
the laptop just yet, and enter the next room. Pick up the last Hidden
Evidence (HE:3/3) on the table. Now use the laptop for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Two armored guards will be firing at you as soon as you regain control.
Depending on how you placed the mines, you should obtain at least one
environmental kill (EK:1/2) from these guards. To kill armored guards
normally, you can knife them, EDT taser, shoot them in the legs, with darts,
or the arms. Just do not bother aiming the head or chest.
Kill both guards, and pick up the Flak jackets over their bodies that they
sometimes drop. Now head down to the doorway, and there will be two more
armored guards. Hopefully the rest of your mines will score the second
environmental kill (EK:2/2). Take them out, and continue. Hop over the
counter again, and prepare for a firefight.
Head out the doorway, and immediately move back. The guards will
automatically spawn, and I recommend trying to eliminate them from this room
as it is safer than heading out into the open. Take cover alongside the left
side of the doorway for a better view. You should be able to eliminate all
but one of the armored guards. Now kill the last one, and head down to the
door to end the mission.
*Credit: bluntsidebomber for the tip about disarming the trip mines and using
them later to score the environmental kills much more easily!

[#F1] Episode 6, Part 1: 'Meeting with Fate'
Difficulty: 5/5
Stealth Kills: N/A
Environmental Kills: 6
----------------------------------------------
The difficulty ramps up significantly in this level, which also happens to be
my favorite, so get ready. Right off the bat, pick off the sniper far away
and directly in front of you. Now turn on your IR goggles, and notice the
sniper high up and to the right.
With both snipers dead, head down the ladder. There's an ammo crate to your
right, you'll likely need it for later. Notice the gate to your left, do not
go there just yet. Instead, walk up the crystal ball like thing, and climb
up to pick up a Sweeper 12-Gauge shotgun, a great weapon for up close combat
that even works great on armored foes.
Now move up the walkway, and walk up the small steps. A pair of guards will
spawn, keep your distance, and eliminate them both. Move up to where they
were for a:
[Checkpoint]
The 2 remaining snipers are around here, one can be easily seen, so kill him
first. The other is harmless if you stay here and do not go down steps. A
lot of armored guards will spawn, but I recommend simply sniping them off one
at a time without heading down the steps. Remember that you can aim their
arms, legs, or use darts.
Once all the armored guards are dead, finish off the last sniper up top on
the right. Head down the steps, and guards will spawn up top. Use the
barrels for 3 environmental kills (EK:3/6). Climb the crates, and head up.
Three armored guards will spawn down below. Eliminate them. Before heading
back, there's a Medkit, M67 grenades in the box, and a gate to the left of
the box. Open the gate, drop down, and pick up the first Hidden Evidence
(HE:1/3) on the dead body. Climb back up, and head along back to where you
started the mission.
There will be a number of guards along the way. When you reach the starting
area, there will be two armored guards, and a regular guard a little higher
up. Now restock your ammo, and more guards will come from behind. When you
are ready, open up the gate that you avoided earlier, and drop down slightly.
[Checkpoint]
Before going down the ladder, head left, and pick up the second Hidden
Evidence (HE:2/3). Now go down the ladder, to greet two guards to your
immediate left. To obtain the last 3 environmental kills, use your regular
melee attack to knock them off the catwalk (EK:6/6). Be careful, falling
down the catwalk yourself will kill you.
At one point you will come to a ladder to your right, located near the
beginning of a long stretch. Climb up. At the top, first climb over the
pipe to your left, and go down for the Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). Now return
over the pipe, and pick up the Security Card on the dead worker.
[Checkpoint]
Head back down the ladder and continue on. There will be 2 more armored
guards, and you'll be able to pick up a Medkit on the wall. Around this
corner, you will notice a ladder in front. It allows for an alternate path
that you could have used earlier. Not necessarily easier, but different.
Anyway, continue towards the left for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
A guard will be using a civilian as a human shield, and you will have 8
seconds to save him. Use your MB-150 rifle, zoom in, and wait for the
guard's head to stick out. Kill the guard, and open the security door to end
the mission.
-------------------------------------------
[#F2] Episode 6, Part 2: 'Into the Abyss'
Difficulty: 4/5
Stealth Kills: 2
Environmental Kills: 2
-------------------------------------------
You will have to decide whether you wish to obtain the stealth kills or the
environmental kills right from the beginning:
1) For the stealth kills, wait for the closer patrolling guard to come
towards you and then turn around. Fire an X34 dart on his back, and detonate
it when he walks by the other patrolling guard (SK:2/2). Kill the armored
guard, and clean up the trip mines from here before you forget.
2) For both environmental kills, your only opportunity will be with the trip
mines. I recommend waiting for the 2 patrolling guards to be at least
further than the first trip mine. Now use an EDT dart on the armored guard,
and you should be able to score the environmental kills (EK:2/2) as the 2
guards panic to attack you.
Move slightly down the path and be ready for more guards. Once it's clear go
open door. The door on the left cannot be opened, so don't bother. There
will be two more armored guards. Eliminate them both and continue. An
explosion will open up the left wall, head there.
[Checkpoint]
There's a Hidden Evidence inside the elevator. If you don't mind dying as
this is risky, run directly onto the platform to save time, and use the
ladder. Turn on your EDSU goggles, and shoot open the hatch. Pick up the
Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3) inside the elevator, climb out, and head onto stable
footing to your right. Take too long, and the elevator will fall, killing
you instantly.
[Checkpoint]
The door cannot be opened, so don't bother. There will be four guards around
the corner. Take out the guards, and enter the bathroom to your left.
There's a Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3) in the sink. You can kill the guard in
the stall with a M67 Grenade if you wish, but this will alert the guards.
Leave the bathroom, and open the next door. If you are careful you can
obtain a stealth kill here (SK:3/2). There will a good number of guards in
this room, and I recommend staying in the hallway. Once all the guards are
dead, pick up the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3) on the side of the first
plant.
Now go to the next door, and you'll fight more guards in the hallway. Around
the corner, there will be a couple more armored guards, a Flak jacket, and a
Medkit. Before exiting the door, try to stock up on ammo. When you are
ready, exit the door for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
= (BOSS) Touchstone =
You won't be able to use your MB-150 rifle in this fight. There are a couple
of Medkits in this room, and an ammo crate in the elevator if you need ammo.
The easiest way to kill Touchstone is actually to stand right in his sight,
close by, and just fire away. Touchstone's sniper shots actually do very
little damage, and you only have to fear the gas darts. Additionally, he
will usually warn you of his gas darts when he says: "I wonder what this
button does?" Several armored guards will come from time to time to annoy
you. You can eliminate them if you wish, but they shouldn't do much damage
either as long as they're staying far away, so try to focus on Touchstone.
Finally, you can always go back the door you came from when things are
getting rough so that you can restock on supplies.

[#G1] Episode 7, Part 1: 'Red Section'
Difficulty: 4/5
Stealth Kills: 5
Environmental Kills: 4
----------------------------------------
Here we are at last, the final episode. Move forward slightly, and Lian will
ask for your help to activate the lift. Before doing so, crawl beneath the
truck to your right, and enter the truck for the first Hidden Evidence
(HE:1/3). Now get out of the truck from the door.
Now climb up onto the truck with Lian, but before boosting her, drop down
onto the crate in between all 3 trucks, and onto the ground. Crawl beneath
the opposite truck and obtain some M67 grenades. Now boost Lian.
[Checkpoint]
Defending Lian this time will be a lot more difficult than before. There are
three points on the rooftops that guards will usually go to. One in front,
one to your 50 degree left, and one to your 120 degree left. Cover those
areas, and from time to time there will be a guard or two on the ground.
Complete this part for a:
[Checkpoint]
Head behind the truck shown in the cutscene, and pick up the AIT security
card off the guard. Now use the security card to open the locked door, pick
up the Medkit, and activate the crane.
[Checkpoint]
Shimmy on the girder that you just moved. Tell Lian to move the crane, and
drop down. RTL onto the truck, and enter for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
After the cutscene, do not open the door. Climb back out the roof of the
truck. You can quickly eliminate 2 of the guards with darts (SK:2/5).
Beware of the third guard, and take him out as well when his back is turned
(SK:3/5).
Now go down the alley where you killed the last guard, and climb up the
ladder. Immediately take cover to avoid detection from the patrolling guard.
Take him out for a stealth kill (SK:4/5). Now open the door, and obtain the
final stealth kill (SK:5/5). Note that you can also use regular melee on the
guard for an environmental kill (EK:1/4).
Now head back outside, and destroy the crate blocking the vent just by the
door. Crawl through. There will be an ammo crate up front, before going up
there though, turn right at the narrow entrance, and pick up the second
Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3). Now go to the ammo crate, and to its right is the
switch to turn off the spinning fan.
Go back, and you can crawl pass the now slow-moving fan. Note that you could
have also just EDT tasered the middle of the fan, but you would be ignoring
the Hidden Evidence.
[Checkpoint]
A number of guards will come dashing out. Take cover on the little bit of
wall near the fan so that you can still see the switch to your right. Use it
to activate an electrical wire, turn it on and off to score the rest of the
environmental kills (EK:4/4). To do this, try not to kill the guard hiding
behind the crates on the right side, and keep killing the guards with the
electrical wire when they take cover by the left wall.
Now head through the two next doors, walk across the rooftop to the line, and
zip down for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Here's the first of many EM suit guards. Just use an EDT dart or taser to
deactivate the shields, and gun him down. However, before doing so, head to
the right of the truck, and onto the crates for the last Hidden Evidence
(HE:3/3). Notice the ammo crate if you need it, and ask Lian for cover to
make your life easier. If you're quick, pick up C11 chain gun right after
killing him.

[#G2] Episode 7, Part 2: 'Drowning'
Difficulty: 5/5
Stealth Kills: 5
Environmental Kills: 2
-------------------------------------
Lian mission! Commence by knifing the 3 guards for 3 stealth kills (SK:3/5).
You might want to switch to their Desert Eagles as they might come in handy
later, but it's up to you. Now head out the door, and take cover at the end
of the hallway. Immediately take out the left guard with a dart, and then
the right one for the next 2 stealth kills (SK:5/5). Now head down the
hallway and go through the door for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
You have three minutes to rescue Blake. Snipe the 3 guards down below and
run along the catwalk to the other side. Before you reach the end, 2 guards
will pop out. Blow up the explosive on the left for both environmental kill
(EK:2/2). Grab the Medkit, and zip line down.
Enter the room, pick up the Flak jacket in the box, and then the two Hidden
Evidences (HE:2/3), one on each table. Now head back outside, and RTL on the
line. A guard will come out directly in front of you as you are still on the
zip line. Kill the guard, and there will be 2 guards more on the bottom
before climbing down the ladder to your right. That's all of them, so head
to the stairway to go down into the pool. Turn off both valves to end the
countdown. If you are near death, I recommend redoing this part to not screw
up the checkpoint after you save Blake. So if you got a decent amount of
health, go up and save Blake for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Kill the guard that will come around from the water, use the large barrel to
your right for cover as you eliminate the rest. They will usually come down
the staircase, so if you have some explosive darts left, you can also lay
traps. Once they're dead, don't forget the Flak jacket in the box, and head
up the staircase. If you were in a hurry before, now is a good time to get
the first two Hidden Evidences from before.
When you're ready, head through the open doorway. Head to the corner of the
hallway for a:
[Checkpoint]
Note the Flak jacket to your right. Eliminate all the regular guards before
going for the EM Armored one. Fire an EDT dart to get him onto the ground,
and blast him with your Desert Eagle. Now before continuing, restock your
ammo with the ammo crate, and pick up the EMP grenades. Continue into the
control center for a cutscene.
[Checkpoint]
Quickly take cover to the left, and take out the 3 guards on the bottom.
With the guards down, destroy all the computers with your EDT taser. The
bottom right computer has the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3).
Once all the computer screens are destroyed, the bottom right door will open,
and guards will come out, including another EM Armored guard. For this
reason, I recommend saving one of the top computers as the last one, so you
can immediately take cover up top. Note that there is also a Flak jacket and
a Medkit up top if you need them. Once they're all eliminated, head into the
room that they came from and destroy the last three computers to end the
mission.

Difficulty: 4/5
Stealth Kills: 4
Environmental Kills: 3
Unlock
------------------------------------------
You'll be in a gas chamber, lay low, head under the window, and order Lian to
kill the guard and open the door.
[Checkpoint]
Outside will be 2 patrolling guards. Stay inside the gas chamber, and wait
for the closer guard to come by. Eliminate him for the first stealth kill
(SK:1/4). There will be some blue computers in front of you, head towards
them, and pick up a Hidden Evidences (HE:1/3).
Move down the corridor, take cover on the left so that you will see his back
as he walks up, and take out the next guard for another stealth kill
(SK:2/4). Move slightly more down the corridor, and you will hear a bell
sound, now one more guard will come. Pull back and take cover at the same
spot, and take him out the same way (SK:3/4). Now go through the vent to
your right, and enter the room where Lian knifed the guard earlier. Pick up
the Flak jacket, and Tek-9 machine gun in the box if you like. Now use the
computer to open the door and head back to the hallway.
Continue all the way down until you see an elevator. Before going down, pick
up the second Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3) by the blue computers similar to
those earlier. Now use the elevator.
[Checkpoint]
You will have to decide whether you want to get all the stealth kills or go
for the environmental kills:
1) Regular melee the guard for an environmental kill (EK:1/3).
2) Fire a dart for the final stealth kill (SK:4/4).
Now head along the right side of the wall as you avoid the spinning
centrifuge. Once you reach the entrance, enter the hallway, and there will
be 3 guards higher up. Take cover and eliminate them. Now head up, and
prepare your MB-150 rifle before entering the next door. You will have 10
seconds to kill the guard as he uses Blake for a human shield.
[Checkpoint]
Turn on your EDSU goggles, and complete this really simple puzzle. Tell
Blake to activate a certain control panel, and follow the wire that leads to
another control panel that you then activate. Do it twice, and use the
computer to turn off the centrifuge. Now Lian will plant the bomb on the
centrifuge. Some guards will come attack her, protect her.
When Lian's done, she will get out of the way, and 2 more guards will come
from the bottom. Turn on the centrifuge to obtain the 2 last environmental
kills (EK:3/3). Now time the detonation for when the centrifuge is aligned
with the blast door to the right.
[Checkpoint]
Head back down to where you just blew up the blast door. On the back of the
broken centrifuge head is the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). Enter through
the broken blast doors.
[Checkpoint]
There are some EMP grenades in the box, and there will be 2 EM Armored guards
down below. Disable their shields with the EMP grenades, and gun them down.
There are more EMP grenades at the bottom of necessary. Now pick up the
Security Card that one of them drops, and open the door to end the mission.

-----------------------------------------
= (BOSS) Singularity =
You've reached the last boss at long last! He's wearing an EM suit, so
you'll have to turn off its shields before gunning him. There's a Flak
jacket and some EMP grenades on your side of the subway if you require them.
There's also an ammo box on the left, and a C11 chain gun to the right on the
next platform. Lastly, on the final platform there's a Flak jacket in the
middle box, EMP grenades in the box on the right, and a M82 BFG rifle in the
back where all the guards are coming from.
The easiest way of beating Singularity is to eliminate all the guards first,
and then pick up the C11. There are around 20 guards total, so on you can
max out both the Head Shot and Dart kill requirements. With all the guards
down, it should be fairly easy to eliminate Singularity.
It is also possible to defeat Singularity even with all the guards around.
Pick up the C11, take cover on the big map on its left, and wait for the
opportunity when Singularity's to your right. Now use an EDT dart on him,
and move over to his platform. Stay in the area with the link fence behind
you while standing behind the thin pillar for cover against the guards.
Singularity will come at you even if you wait there, allowing you to easily
use the EDT taser to remove his shields. Afterwards I recommend aiming
Singularity's leg as it will also prevent him from shooting back at you.
To obtain the environmental kill, you'll have to hope that by luck one of the
guards gets hit by the train (EK:1/1). If you are having trouble, just use
the Flare Gun.

Immediately move to the right of the door and position the camera so you can
see the guard on the roof. As soon as he turns his back, run to the far left
of the balcony and take out the guard in the window (SK:1/5). Then, run back
inside behind a wall. Watch the guard on the roof again, and wait until he
starts to walk out. Wait until he stops on the far side, then take him out
(SK:2/5). Next, take out the final guard by the door (SK:3/5). If you obtain
the 3 stealth kills, you'll be rewarded with a cutscene, and 2 Hidden
Evidences (HE:2/3).
*Credit: terminall for this part of the walkthrough!
Once that's over, before you snipe the two women, head into the washroom, go
to the toilet, and pick up the last Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3). Now here is
where there are 3 possibilities:
1) Snipe Mara first, and you will obtain the Environmental kill when the
other woman runs away (EK:1/1).
2) Snipe both at the same time to obtain the final 2 stealth kills (SK:5/5)
3) If you don't manage to kill Mara, she will run outside and proceed to fire
at you. One shot in the head will kill her, although shots to the body have
no effect besides stunning her.

There is a bonus goal of clearing the compound in less than 2:42. Don't
worry too much about it though, you don't fail the mission if you take too
long. This mission consists of 7 waves and 23 guards, and there's a Flak
jacket to the right on the platform if you need it.
Wave 1: The Work Yard, 3 guards on the ground in front of you.
Wave 2: A pair of guards on the catwalk in front of you. Wait for them to
stand above the ladder, and destroy the barrel for 2 environmental kills
(EK:2/2). A guard will then spawn inside the building behind the catwalk.
Wave 3: Behind the column to the west. First guard will be on the catwalk,
next guard on the ground just under, and the third guard also on the catwalk.
Wave 4: Back to the Work Yard, 4 guards will dash out from under the building
to the north-east. One will run by the barrel to the left of the ladder,
which you may use for another environmental kill (EK:3/2).
Wave 5: Behind the column, east. First guard will be on the ground to the
right. Second guard will be on the catwalk and come from the right. Finally
there are 2 guards on the very bottom level.
Wave 6: Guards will now come out from the rooftop on the building to the
east. First guard from the right of the building, second guard from the
left. Third guard from the right again, and the final two guards from the
left.
Wave 7: The Red Section Leader! He will come out in the Work Yard from under
the building to the north-east. Just shoot the tank behind his back like how
you killed Red Jack in Episode 1.

Environmental Kills: 2
No Hidden Evidence
----------------------------------------------
There is a bonus goal of clearing the compound in less than 3:39. Don't
worry too much about it though, you don't fail the mission if you take too
long. There are 23 guards, and you will only have Stone's rifle. There is
ammo for Stone's rifle in the box to the right on the balcony, and a Flak
jacket in the box to the left on the balcony.
Wave 1: Immediately run to the left so that the guard in the courtyard on the
ground in the cannot hit you. Now kill the first guard on the catwalk, and
then the second. Another guard will then spawn behind a pillar in the
courtyard, while the first guard should stand next to the barrel on the
ground by the entrance. If he isn't there yet, let him see you again to
excite him. Shoot the barrel for the first environmental kill (EK:1/2).
Wave 2: The Far Towers. Two guards will be inside the windows: one in the
left tower, and one in the right tower. There will also be 2 guards on the
top catwalk in between the towers. Stay on the left side of the balcony as
you use the central palace for cover and take care of the 2 guards on the
right side, followed by the 2 guards on the left side.
Wave 3: The central palace. To the left of the two towers and by the doorway
there will be 3 guards. A fourth guard will be on the ground and run
alongside the left of the central palace and stop in front of a barrel. To
beat this wave, quickly take cover on the back wall near the box with extra
ammo. Eliminate the 3 guards in the central palace, then move to the left,
and destroy the barrel for the second environmental kill (EK:2/2).
Wave 4: The Western Wall. Quickly take cover on the back wall near the box
with extra ammo again, and snipe the 2 guards that you can see to the west.
Now get off of cover and snipe 2 more guards rushing out on the ground.
Wave 5: Still the Western Wall. Return to cover, and eliminate the 2 guards.
Now quickly run west and take cover because the Eastern Wall is next.
Wave 6: The Eastern Wall. A guard will be in the window, then a guard to the
left. Now get off of cover and take out the guard to the right.
[Checkpoint]
Wave 7: Two guards wielding Rocket Launchers will spawn on the top catwalk
between the two towers. This part can be pretty difficult, and you will
first want to ensure that the "Zoom Remember" option is toggled, which should
help enormously.
Now you will want to remember each one's specific position where they will
stand to fire their rockets to get the shot off quickly. Be careful, if you
aren't yet moving and the guard has already shot a rocket directly at you,
you will almost always take damage. Lastly you can stand by the top right of
the balcony to avoid getting hit by the guard on the right as his rockets
will hit the building.

Difficulty: 4/5
Stealth Kills: 2
Environmental Kills: 1
----------------------------------------------
Right off the bat, get yourself off the wall, and creep slightly to the right
(away from the control box), equip your EDSU goggles and destroy the control
box with a silenced pistol. This will get the 2 guards' attention. Now
silently move over to the other side while crouching, and climb onto the side
of the building. This will allow you to move alongside the building,
around the billboard, and behind the guards.
Just as you reach the edge, drop down, and silently snipe the closest guard
without alerting the birds in the cage. With him down, crawl under the bird
cage, climb up. You now have 2 choices:
1) Kill the guard silently, for the second stealth kill (SK:2/2).
2) Destroy the circuit box to kill the second guard and score the
environmental kill but this will alert the other guards of your presence
(EK:1/1).
I will assume that you killed the first 2 guards silently, as it is much
easier this way. You should now be able to grab the first two Hidden
Evidences. The first is located on the ledge near where you started. Head
back to the exact place where you began, and you should notice a small edge
that you will have to climb sporting the Hidden Evidence (HE:1/3). The next
Hidden Evidence is quite easy, and is under the supports of the billboard
(HE:2/3).
With those down, go back to the cage with the birds, and you should be able
to kill 5 of them. Now RTL on the side near the control box that you could
destroy for the environmental kill, move along the wire, turn around, and you
should see a bird (6) to your left.
RTL back, and move to the far top right of the building. Look to your right,
and you'll notice a bird (7) on top of a bent arrow sign. Now before
climbing up in front of the billboard, turn around 180 degrees, look up at
the rooftop for another bird (8). Now climb up, and if you obtained the 2
stealth kills previously, you should be able to cap another 2 guards on
rooftops silently with darts. Wait until they reach the corners of the
building, and they will pause providing you with an easy shot.
Once they're down, shoot the bird (9) on top of a sign on the building in
front of the billboard, and the last bird (10), 45 degrees to the right of
the billboard on balcony. Once all the birds are dead, RTL to the other
side.
As soon as you drop down, you'll be given the last 2 guards to snipe off of
rooftops. Now be careful, do not RTL all the way to the end just yet.
Instead, notice the balcony in front of the objective point with a box. Drop
down over here, and climb onto the side of the building thus allowing you to
move to left and drop onto another balcony. Here is the final Hidden
Evidence (HE:3/3). Once you've got it, head back to the RTL in the same
manner you came, and slide to the objective point to end the mission.

Environmental Kills: 2
----------------------------------------------
You will start with your back against a table. Gun down the 2 guards firing
at you, and move to your left. To your left there will be a kitchen with a
Mark 23 SD pistol in the box. A bit further down is a box with a Flak
jacket, and a Hidden Evidence with the candles and ornaments(HE:1/3).
Head to the door, and quickly pick up the Hidden Evidence (HE:2/3) in the
first vase before it's destroyed by gunfire. Note also that the vases can be
used for environmental kills if an enemy is nearby when one is destroyed.
There are 3 vases in this mission, and you can easily score the environmental
kills this way (EK:2/2).
There isn't much to this mission, just slowly move your way up as you take
cover and gun down the guards one by one. There will be 3 boxes on the sides
in the openings along the hallways. The first one will be next to an
elevator door, and has a Flak Jacket. The second has a Spectre machine gun
like those used by the guards, and the last one also has a Flak jacket.
You'll also find the final Hidden Evidence (HE:3/3) by one of the boxes.
When you finish cleaning up the guards, you'll be notified with a:
[Checkpoint]
The next guard has a Chain Gun, but fear not, he's just as weak as the
others. If you haven't gotten both environmental kills yet, for some reason
you'll score the 2 environmental kills once he dies (EK:2/2). Now pick up
the Key he drops, and get yourself ready before opening the door. You will
have 3 seconds to shoot Jimmy Zhou in the head as he uses Lian as a human
shield. Kill him and you complete the mission.

[#X] Career Rating Tips
----------------------------------------------
= Basic =
1) A quick way to suicide when you mess up is to fire an Explosive or X34
dart at a wall, and detonate it when you are standing right beside it.
= Environmental Kills =
1) Any kill with the Flare Gun will score you an Environmental kill, just
as long as the flames kill the guard! *Credit: Beat1220 for the tip!
= Knife Kills =
1) Use your EDT taser on an enemy to have him rush at you. Useful for
getting those knife kills.
2) If you knife a guard and he does not die, which happens sometimes on
Hard mode, just knife him again as soon as he gets to his feet. You still
conserve stealth!
= Dart Kills =
1) You don't have to fire X34 or Explosive darts onto guards for them to
work. Strategically placing them on the ground or an object in between
several guards works!
2) A fun trick to do when you know where guards are going to come from
already is to set up a dart trap ahead of time.
3) Alerting the guards will often make more guards spawn. You will want to
do this when you are going for those dart and headshot kill counts.
= Headshot Kills =
1) You must play on Hard mode to tally up the Headshot kills!
2) Alerting the guards will often make more guards spawn. You will want to
do this when you are going for those dart and headshot kill counts.
= Stealth Kills =
1) Stay in crouching mode when you go behind enemies to not alert them.
2) A Headshot with a silenced weapon (eg: Your Mark 23 SD pistol) also
works when done carefully, and comes in handy when you run out of darts.
3) The IR goggles are fundamental in helping you maintain stealth in Hard
mode. Observe the guards from far away when possible, and act accordingly.

[#Y] Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
----------------------------------------------
Q: How does this game compare with Socom: Fireteam Bravo for PSP?
A: Syphon Filter has indisputably a better singleplayer mode, better
graphics, and higher production values. Multiplayer-wise however, they are
fairly even, and some will prefer Syphon Filter while others Socom.
Q: How long is the singleplayer?
A: Approximately 7 to 8 hours on your first play through. Though to unlock
everything, you will probably play through each and every level at least 3 to
4 times.
Q: How are the load times?
A: I timed it. It takes approximately 45 seconds to reach the main menu from
boot up, 20 seconds to start a mission, and 10 seconds to quit a mission.
Restarting a mission that's already loaded is instant, while resuming the
game on a soft turn off takes around 5 seconds.
Q: How is the artificial intelligence (AI)?
A: Depending on the difficulty, enemies will be more aggressive and move
around more. The general AI is pretty good overall. NPCs never get stuck,
enemies will take cover, and enemies will react when you are seen or when
they hear noise.
Q: How large are the levels?
A: Um, normal size? From my experiences, size hasn't been an issue in both
singleplayer and multiplayer.
Q: How is the stealth in this game?
A: Stealth is completely optional, and for the most part only serves to lower
the number of enemies you will face. This game's main focus is on the action
however, and most of the missions cannot be completed in complete stealth.
Others have absolutely no stealth at all.
Q: How many missions are in the game?
A: There are 23 story missions, and 5 bonus missions making a total of 28
missions.
Q: What are the controls?
A: On the default setting:
= D-pad =
Up: Interact / Zoom In
Right: Weapon Select
Left: Gadget Select (Vision modes mainly)
Down: Crouch / Zoom Out
= Triggers =
Left Trigger: Manual Aim (Zoom) / Target Lock
Right Trigger: Fire
Analog: Movement / Strafe
Face Buttons: Look & Aim
Start: Pause
Select: Command (issue orders to NPCs)
Q: Does this game support the microphone for online play?
A: Yes.
Q: What are the differences between Easy, Normal, and Hard mode?
A: You are provided a map only on Easy, and Normal mode. There are also more
visual cues of where to go on Easy and Normal mode. Finally, you have less
health, and enemies become more aggressive as you increase the difficulty.
