Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow Part 33: Learn how to identify Soth's mercenaries using thermal vision and navigate the baggage handling room.
Walkthrough
- 1If the truck has already pulled in, use parked cars for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (hiding behind objects to avoid detection), shoot out the streetlight in the parking lot, and then shoot out the first tube light inside the garage near the security guard's booth.
- 2The guard will investigate; KO (knock out) him when he approaches.
- 3Shoot out lights on one side of the garage, then proceed down the ramp.
- 4At the end of the ramp, you will find a second security guard with a dog. Use a Diversion Camera for the guard and an Air Ring Foil for the dog.
- 5Grimsdotter will inform you that Soth and his mercenaries have received smallpox shots, causing their body temperatures to read higher than normal on the thermal scanner (appearing bright red, while others appear bluish with hints of red and yellow).
- 6Move further into the parking lot and find the next security guard booth. Scan the guard inside with thermal vision; if he appears bright red, he is one of Soth's mercenaries and should be eliminated.
- 7Shoot out overhead lights to create a dark path near the booth, then lure the guard out by jumping outside and backing up. KO him when he walks into the dark.
- 8Find the door on the other side of the booth, OC (open and close) it to reveal a cleaning lady.
- 9Follow the cleaning lady through the door she opens on the far right.
- 10Enter the room, crouch in the dark corner to the right.
- 11Scan the room; a man working on a computer behind a partition on the far left will appear blue on thermal vision, indicating he is not with Soth.
- 12Wait for the cleaning lady to return, move around the room, and then exit through the door.
- 13As soon as she exits, switch off the light to the right of the painting on the wall and go to the door.
- 14Before the man at the computer switches the lights back on (approximately 8 seconds), OC the door the maid went through. Ensure she has her back to you as she passes the bathroom stalls, then go through the door and crouch in the dark corner under the Medkit.
- 15After a minute, the maid will reappear, exit through the door, and close it behind her.
- 16Go to the counter next to the mirror, climb onto it, and pull yourself up into the ceiling vent.
- 17Proceed down the vent to the left, to the baggage handling room.
- 18Shoot out the large spotlight on the far wall and then all other lights in the room until it is completely dark.
- 19Drop down on the far side, move along the wall to the right, and climb onto the boxes to avoid the two individuals in the dark.
- 20Scan the individuals with thermal vision. One will appear blue (an innocent LAX employee), and the other will appear bright red (a mercenary).
- 21When the mercenary is close, drop him with a headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) (a shot to the head that instantly incapacitates or kills an enemy).
- 22Warning: Drop the innocent LAX employee as well to prevent an alarm.
- 23Pick up the Air Foil Round on the floor in the far left corner of the room.
- 24Move down the room to the doorway at the far end with clear plastic strips.
- 25Two bright red mercenaries will be visible inside with thermal vision.
- 26Crouch forward until the plastic strips are behind you. Shoot out the closest light on the ceiling to draw one mercenary closer.
- 27Use the Whistle button and retreat into the other room, waiting in the dark.
- 28When the mercenary walks forward into the spot where you whistled, shoot him in the head with your pistol. Try to save SC-20K ammo, smoke grenades, and diversion cameras for later.
- 29Hide the body.
- 30Find the other terrorist, who is usually patrolling on the right side of the room near the baggage conveyor belt.
- 31Use the whistle to draw him to you and take him out. Hide his body.
- 32If both terrorists are drawn at once, use two sticky shockers to drop them quickly.
- 33A diversion camera is on the floor in the corner to the left when entering through the plastic curtain.
- 34A spotlight is near the foot of the steps in the center of the room leading to the next red-colored terrorist on the catwalk on the left.
- 35Shoot out the spotlight and eliminate the civilian who investigates.
- 36From the foot of the stairs, note the innocent guard on the right and the red-colored mercenary.
