Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Tips & Tricks

• Lighthouse Alternate way to retrieve the radio data

  During the mission you will have to overhear some data being said on a radio transmission by a guard. If you fail to do this, you can just find the data in a filing cabinet next to the radio.

• North Korea Half-Life reference

  In the missile battery stage, at some point Sam asks Grim if he could use a crowbar to open the console in the battery. She says "That's for geeky scientists". This is a reference at the Half-Life games where you play as a scientist with a crowbar.

• North Korea Ronald Reagan reference

  This game was developed at about the same time that Ronald Reagen died. In the missile battery stage, a missile is launched at the USS Ronald Reagen. Grim tells you this and Sam says "You want me to win one for the Gipper?"

• Panama Never set off alarms

  When you are close to the part with the lasers, go down there and set off one alarm. Kill all the people. When you cross the lasers, you will not set off another alarm. You can now finish the mission without setting the alarms off when crossing the lasers.

• Penthouse Bouncing guard

  On the ground floor after you have knocked out two guards (the one who is repairing the elevator and the other one that is talking to him), put one or more of the guards in the elevator with Sam. Sam must turn on his night vision and press the button to go to the top floor. Watch the guard's body bounce around like popcorn.

• Ledge grab

  In order to do a better ledge grab, press X, then when the spy puts his legs up on the thing he is hanging from, press Forward while tapping X.

• Sneaking

  If you move around with your gun drawn, the noise meter will not move. This is very useful when sneaking up on someone quickly.

• Taking lights out silently

  To take out lights silently, first OCP the light, then shoot it instantly.

• Alternate dialogue

  When you just see Otomo try to commit suicide, Lambert will radio you and say something. If playing under the normal difficulty setting he will say something similar to "Otomo just tried to commit sepuku. Get in there and revive him". However, if you complete the game under hard difficulty, Sam will say something similar to "Looks like someone feels a bit too good about himself". However, all the objectives will remain the same.

• Lighthouse Get rid of the enemy on the top

  To get rid of the enemy on the top of the lighthouse, hang along the edge of the lighthouse. Get underneath him and select the command "Grab NPC". Sam Fisher will grab and throw him off the edge. From here you can watch him scream and fall to his death.

• I-SDF Base Metal Gear Solid reference

  When you get to the lower floors in the I-SDF base, interrogate a guard. Sam will ask him about his LTL (less-than-lethal) weapon. The guard will tell Sam that the ammunition is some kind of electric round. Sam asks where he can find some. To this the guard replies: "It's not like you can shake me, and make my ammo drop on the floor". This is a reference to the Metal Gear Solid games, in which you can do just that.

• Keypad codes

• Catching Shetland

  Have your sniper zoomed-in on the guard. When there is a fight, shoot, run, and catch Shetland. Then, end the mission.

• Bank Invisible laser beam

  To avoid detection by the invisible laser trip wire in the entrance of the vault, closely examine the entrance with your thermal goggles on. Then, use your OCP to disable the laser emitter and walk out of the vault. By doing this, you can leave without sounding the alarm.

• Bathhouse Splinter Cell reference

  You must go through the warm baths at one point in the level. There are two guards here. Interrogate one of them and he will tell you that Shetland's elite guards have thermal goggles. He will also add that they will not do much good in steam, because steam is not fog, as in an abbatoir. This is a reference to the original Splinter Cell game, in which Abbatoir is a level.

• Displace Prince Of Persia Warrior Within reference

  While infiltrating Displace International, Sam will encounter two guards talking about Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within. It is in the small cafe next to a laser filled hallway, past a keypad locked door. A second way to access the room is through a vent. However because Sam is inside the vent, the conversation becomes difficult to hear.

• Hokkaido Splinter Cell reference

  After you scan Milon Nedich's liscence plate and enter the building, you will overhear some guards talking about ninjas. One will be telling the other that he was stationed on an oil rig and that it was attacked by a ninja. This is a reference to the first Splinter Cell in which Sam is the ninja.

• Hokkaido Bill Gates reference

  There are two guards talking about their new vehicle. During the conversation, one says that it has a 640 gig MP3 player, "standard." The other replies that no one will ever need 640 gigs. This is a jab at a comment made by Bill Gates back in 1981 about no one ever needing more than 640 K of RAM.

• I-SDF Base Splinter Cell reference

  You can overhear a couple of guards talking in the main hall. One will say something about how guarding the place is just like guarding the CIA HQ; nobody would break in there. This is a reference to the original Splinter Cell, in which you must break into CIA headquarters.

• 100% rating

  In order to get a 100% rating on any mission, you must complete the level with the following statistics. It is unknown at this time if there is a reward for getting a 100% rating on every mission. Enemies killed: 0 Civilians killed: 0 Bodies Found: 0 Times Identified as intruder: 0 Alarms sounded: 0

• Taking lights out silently

  When you begin the level, you are in a child's room. Immediately exit the room and go to the right. When you reach the end of the hall, in which the walls are blown away, turn to the right and enter a half-destroyed room. There should be a radio inside. Turn it on, and it will play the same music from the cafe from where you started near the Chinese Embassy 2 level on the original Splinter Cell.

• Panama Never set off alarms

  When you are close to the part with the lasers, go down there and set off one alarm. Kill all the people. When you cross the lasers, you will not set off another alarm. You can now finish the mission without setting the alarms off when crossing the lasers.

• Bathhouse Alternate shetland death

  At the end of the level, Shetland and Sam will be on top of a roof with their guns pointed at each other. After a short conversation, Shetland will put his gun away and say "You wouldn't shoot an old friend". You are given a choice, shoot or put your gun away. If you shoot, Shetland will stumble backwards and the intermission sequence for the level's ending will play. However if you put your gun away, Shetland will quickly pull his gun out and point it at Sam. Sam will duck his weapon and stab Shetland in the stomach before throwing him. This will then start the same ending sequence.

• Catching Shetland

  Have your sniper zoomed-in on the guard. When there is a fight, shoot, run, and catch Shetland. Then, end the mission.

  Go to the pirate room, then go to the left. Go to the little hallway to the Techroom. When you are on your way (if you are still in the hallway) look to one of the sides to find a little box area. Crouch into it. If someone presses the button on the outside, the area will be closed and you will not be able to get out. If you stay there too long, the area will fill up with water and you will die. The only way to stay alive is if someone presses the button again and the water drains out.
