Follow this guide to sneak your way to the penthouse in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II's El Sin Nombre mission without raising any alarms or taking any lives.

Alright, so you've just finished up with Valeria and met up with Alejandro. Now, the goal is to get to that penthouse without anyone knowing you were there. It's all about stealth and distraction here, so let's get this done.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head into the bar right across from where you start. You'll want to grab a couple of bottles from inside – these are your distraction tools.
  2. 2
    Now, move deeper into the building. You'll find a spiral staircase with a guard posted at the bottom. Don't worry about him; just approach him, and he'll move out of the way.
  3. 3
    Quickly head up the spiral staircase to the second floor. There's another guard near the balcony here. This is where those bottles come in handy. Press [ / ] to throw a bottle away from your position, drawing the guard's attention.
  4. 4
    While he's investigating the bottle, hop over the balcony and sneak to your left. You'll find a ladder; climb it.
  5. 5
    You're getting close! Before you can reach the penthouse, you'll need to get past three more guards. Crouch down and stick to the right side of the area. Use your bottles again to distract any guards who get too close.
  6. 6
    Once the path is clear, climb the ladder on the opposite side to rejoin Alejandro.
  7. 7
    Now, you need to get into the elevator shaft. Use the buttons to descend until the door on the third floor is clear.
  8. 8
    Finally, interact with the emergency lock to open the door. Head to the end of the corridor, and you'll unlock the 'Ghost-in-Training' Trophy/Achievement for reaching the penthouse without killing anyone or triggering the alarm!
Tips
  • Always keep an eye on your surroundings and listen for guard patrols.
  • Don't be afraid to use multiple bottles if needed to create a clear path.
  • The elevator shaft descent requires careful timing; wait for the guards to move away from the doors before you interact with the lock.

Completing this objective without killing anyone or triggering the alarm will unlock the 'Ghost-in-Training' Trophy/Achievement.
