Part 1

Guide and Walkthrough for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (XBox) Part 1: Dili, Timor. Learn how to infiltrate the Embassy and overcome initial obstacles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The level begins with Sam Fisher in water near a pier. Move forward and climb onto the pier, crouching in the shadows.
  2. 2
    Halt before a swaying overhead lamp. Equip the pistol and shoot out the light to create darkness.
  3. 3
    (Game Improvement: The pistol now has a laser sight activated by the left trigger. This improves accuracy but reveals your position if seen.)
  4. 4
    Note that Sam is more accurate when standing still (crosshairs close together) than when moving (crosshairs wide).
  5. 5
    Locate the first Hint Box to the left of the now-darkened lamp. Move Sam to it and press 'A' to access the hint.
  6. 6
    Continue down the pier. Equip night vision (tap directional pad left) and crouch towards the next lighted area.
  7. 7
    (Game Improvement: Sam now has binoculars, accessible by clicking down on the right thumb stick. Zoom with the directional pad up/down.)
  8. 8
    Use the binoculars to scan the area before proceeding. Utilize normal, night vision, and thermal vision modes to identify threats and opportunities.
  9. 9
    Climb the ladder. At the top, go left, crouch in the dark corner, and shoot out the light illuminating the room.
  10. 10
    Jump ('Y' button) to grab the zip line and slide down to the walkway.
  11. 11
    (Game Improvement: Sam now feels vibrations on zip lines.)
  12. 12
    After landing, jump ('Y' button) to grab the pipe and move hand over hand. Press 'Y' halfway across to bring Sam's legs up to avoid an obstacle.
  13. 13
    (Game Improvement: Sam can now shoot while hanging by his legs on a pipe. Press 'X' to hang.)
Tips
  • Always use binoculars to scout ahead, especially before entering lighted areas.
  • Utilize Sam's different vision modes (normal, night, thermal) in conjunction with binoculars for maximum situational awareness.
  • Accuracy with the pistol is significantly improved when Sam is standing still.
  • The laser sight on the pistol is useful for precision but can give away your position.

Part 2

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow Part 2 guide. Learn to use the optic cable, perform silent landings, and master the SWAT Maneuver.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once at the building, press 'Y' to drop your legs, then press 'B' to drop down. Press 'B' again before landing for a silent landing. Aim to make every landing silent.
  2. 2
    Crouch and move past the lighted window. At the corner, shoot out the lamp on the elevated hook.
  3. 3
    Turn the corner and approach the closed door. The 'Door Options' window will appear. Select 'Optic Cable' by holding 'A' and moving the left thumbstick up.
  4. 4
    In the optic cable view, rotate the right thumbstick to scan the room.
  5. 5
    Once you confirm the room is empty, press 'A' to return to third-person view and open the door.
  6. 6
    Move into the darkest room to the right. Shoot out the light near the window before proceeding.
  7. 7
    Use the Optic Cable on the next door, then pick the lock.
  8. 8
    Proceed into the room to the right, crouching in the shadows. Climb the pipe, but first shoot the lantern next to it. Wait a few seconds to see if there is any response to the shot.
  9. 9
    After confirming no noise, climb the pipe and crouch at the top. Move left to the far corner with a trap door.
  10. 10
    Scan the area below with the Optic Cable, then open the trap door and drop down. Ignore the lantern on the floor.
  11. 11
    Crouch to the doorway. Shoot out the lantern on the porch outside that illuminates the stairs.
  12. 12
    Proceed down the steps, turn right, and move along the fence to the left until you reach a square-shaped opening beneath a porch. Enter in a crouch.
  13. 13
    Proceed down the tunnel until it ends in a small yard. Shoot out the light hanging over the steps to the boarded-up door.
  14. 14
    Proceed around the darkened corner; the game will automatically save.
  15. 15
    Keep going forward. At the top of the next steps, pick up the ammo. Go down the steps to the left.
  16. 16
    At the bottom of the steps, turn right. Stand Sam up, move him to face the board fence on the left, then click down on the left thumbstick to flatten him against the wall ('Wall Mode').
  17. 17
    Move him through the narrow corridor. At the end of the fence, hold the left thumbstick to the right to peek around the corner.
  18. 18
    You will see a guard sitting on a box facing away. While peeking, press 'A' to perform the 'SWAT Maneuver' to quickly move to the other side of the doorway.
  19. 19
    Peek around the corner again by holding the left thumbstick to the left. Tap 'X' to draw Sam's pistol.
  20. 20
    Aim for the lantern on the wall and shoot it out. The guard will investigate.
  21. 21
    Sneak up behind the guard. When close enough, the 'Grab Character' window appears. Tap 'A' to grab the guard in a headlock.
Tips
  • Always scan rooms with the Optic Cable before opening doors or windows; failing to do so can result in mission failure.
  • Develop the habit of shooting out lights as they make you an obvious target.
  • Wait a few seconds after shooting a light source to check for any enemy response before proceeding.
  • The 'Wall Mode' maneuver is excellent for moving through narrow corridors.
  • The 'SWAT Maneuver' is a quick evasive technique for crossing doorways.
  • Always aim for headshots if engaging enemies directly.

Part 3

Complete walkthrough for Part 3 of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, covering guard interrogation, thermal mine evasion, and stealthy infiltration.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You cannot use lethal force on the first guard; doing so will fail the mission. Grab the guard and use him as a shield with the left thumbstick. Tap 'X' to aim the pistol at a secondary target or against the guard's head. Move the guard to a dark area and press the right trigger to knock him out.
  2. 2
    Proceed past the unconscious guard. A Game Save point will appear. Equip Thermal Vision and crouch to see thermal mines on the ground. To bypass them, go underneath the elevated walkway to the right.
  3. 3
    Ahead, you'll encounter more thermal mines. To the left of these mines is a box under a hanging lantern. Shoot the lantern, get on the box, and jump to grab the ledge. Traverse hand-over-hand past the mines, or perform a running jump over them.
  4. 4
    Proceed around the corner, staying to the left in total darkness. Find the small alley between two buildings to your right and go halfway down. Perform a split jump by pressing 'Y', then press 'Y' again at the apex to suspend yourself between the walls.
  5. 5
    To reach the ledge on the upper left, use the left thumbstick to move Sam to the right. Press 'Y' again to jump and grab the ledge. You may need to hand-over-hand along the ledge to a point where you can pull yourself up.
  6. 6
    Proceed through the room and turn right. In the next doorway, another Save point loads.
  7. 7
    As you enter the next room, equip binoculars by clicking the right thumbstick. Lambert will inform you that Grimmsdotter has found a way in through a stream running under a walkway.
  8. 8
    Shoot out the lantern in the window to your left to see patrolling guards outside. Shoot out the lantern in the next room as well. When the nearest guard is facing away, descend the pole and slowly enter the water. Move along the stream where the bushes are thickest.
  9. 9
    You have the option to lure the guard with a whistle (black button) and KO him, but it's better to sneak past. If you KO him, hide the body to avoid raising alarm.
  10. 10
    Wait for the guard to turn his back and move away. Proceed up the stream and under the bridge. If the guard hears something, continue moving; he will scan the area you just passed.
  11. 11
    Continue to the large paddle wheel. Look back and use binoculars to find the guard. When he is on the opposite side of the bridge and out of sight, move up the embankment. Crouch next to the palm tree and look left.
  12. 12
    There is a guard sitting on a box with his back to you. Stay out of the light on the ground to your left and move along the embassy wall to your right. Another Save point loads.
  13. 13
    Lambert will state that terrorists are preparing to kill hostages. Sam must interrogate a guard, identified as one of Sadono's top lieutenants. Move slowly behind the seated guard, grab him, and press 'A' to interrogate. Move him into the dark area to the left during interrogation.
  14. 14
    After interrogation, KO the guard. Crouch down; another guard may be wandering near the box where the lieutenant was. This guard will enter the adjacent building.
  15. 15
    After a few seconds, use the Optic Cable (OC) on the door. The guard inside will be sitting with his back to the door, watching TV. You can KO him for practice or bypass him easily. Move to the flaming barrel and climb the pipe to the right.
Tips
  • Non-lethal force is mandatory for most of this section.
  • Use guards as shields to move them to safer, darker locations for knockouts.
  • The Half-Split Jump allows for higher jumps and reaching elevated ledges.
  • The Whistle tactic is a useful diversion but requires careful timing and hiding bodies.
  • Always use the Optic Cable to check rooms before entering, especially when guards are present.
  • Pay attention to environmental details like lanterns and shadows for stealth.

Game Improvements Mentioned:

  • More realistic body physics for knockouts.
  • Enhanced Split Jump capabilities (Half-Split Jump).
  • Integrated Whistle tactic for luring guards.

Part 4

Guide to infiltrating the Embassy and recovering/destroying security intelligence in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Learn how to find Douglas Shetland and Ruth Ingrid Karlthson.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After infiltrating the Embassy, your new objective is to recover or destroy security intelligence held by Douglas Shetland.
  2. 2
    Save your checkpoint. Lambert will provide information via radio, and you can check your OPSAT for details on Shetland.
  3. 3
    Head up the ladder to your left, then another ladder to your right. Descend onto the landing and move into the shadows to your left.
  4. 4
    Shoot out the lantern or the guard in the window to your right to avoid detection.
  5. 5
    Crouch and move around the corner. Before reaching the lighted window, use wall mode (crouched) to slide underneath it.
  6. 6
    As you slide right, another guard will be looking out a larger window. Lambert will warn you that Sadono is in the room. Stay in wall mode in the shadows; Sadono will not see you.
  7. 7
    Once Sadono leaves, exit wall mode, crouch by the window, and use the 'whistle' button. The guard will investigate.
  8. 8
    When the guard's back is turned, move across the lighted area to the far side. Two hostages are in the room but will not alert the guard.
  9. 9
    Move down the landing to its end. Move Sam to the edge and select 'Climb Out' to move onto a pipe.
  10. 10
    Move Sam up the pipe to grab the ledge and hand-over-hand to the landing outside the opposite window.
  11. 11
    Inside the room, a terrorist torturer is interrogating Shetland. Face right, move to the edge, climb onto the pipe, move down to the balcony, and enter the room.
  12. 12
    K.O. the terrorist and talk to Shetland. He will give you a data chip. Insert it into your device, and a checkpoint save will become available.
  13. 13
    Your new objective is to find CIA agent Ruth Ingrid Karlthson on the Embassy grounds. Her picture and bio are available on your OPSAT.
  14. 14
    After saving, Lambert will mention 'Mortified Penguin'.
  15. 15
    There are two doors leading out of the room. One leads to the room with the guard and hostages. The other leads to a hallway with a guard whose back is to you. Use the Optic Cable to scout both.
  16. 16
    The hallway option is safer. K.O. the guard, lockpick the bathroom door further down, and hide the guard's body inside. Note the Medical Kit on the wall.
  17. 17
    Shoot out all lights in the hallway and at the top of the stairs to ensure a dark retreat path if needed.
  18. 18
    At the end of the hallway, shoot out the large circular light over the stairway and the lamps in the corners.
  19. 19
    Proceed downstairs. A guard patrols at the foot of the stairs. Use the Whistle button to lure him up the stairs, then retreat.
  20. 20
    Grab the guard just after he turns to go back down the stairs and pull him back up to a safe location.
Tips
  • If Sam stares directly into a bright light source while using night vision, the screen will turn white, and he will only see outlines of objects until his vision clears.
  • Medical kits remain on the wall after use, and you can choose to use only a portion of the kit to restore health, saving the rest for later.
