Detailed walkthrough for the Bank mission in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Includes objectives, strategies for guards, cameras, lasers, and hacking computers.
Walkthrough
- 1North Wing: Wait for guards to finish their conversation. Neutralize the patrolling guard in the dark. Move towards the wall on the right side of the courtyard, sneak behind the tree to grab the next guard. Proceed through the hall and exit the door.
- 2In the new area, use EMF vision to OCP the camera on the left wall. Run to the ladder on the far wall and climb to the rooftop.
- 3On the roof, head left and follow the path to the windows. Pick the lock on the door to the right. Once inside, turn off the magnetic locks on the windows using the switch.
- 4Leave the room and go to the open window. Use the rope to climb down. Avoid the lasers at the bottom. Use your EEV to remotely access the computer and turn off the lasers. This completes the 'Enter the bank' objective and starts a new one.
- 5New Primary Objective: Authorize the vault access from three officers' panels.
- 6Open the door in the corner quietly to avoid waking the sleeping guard in the hall. Approach the guard from behind and stand up to grab him (crouching may prevent grabbing). Interrogate him to get information and have him unlock the retinal scanner. Use him on the scanner, then incapacitate him.
- 7Return to the skylight room and cross to the other side. Go through the small hall and the right door into the lobby.
- 8Turn left, remotely access the computer under the desk of the sitting guard using your EEV. Read emails and hack the security access area to plant the first false email (1).
- 9Retreat to the retinal scanner area and enter the second door on the right.
- 10East Wing: Shoot out the camera's light with your pistol or avoid it. Do not enter the room with the two conversing guards directly. Use your EEV to access the computer on top of the lockers in that room. Read emails and hack to plant the second email (2).
- 11Continue down the hall. Use the med kit before the stairwell if needed. Climb the first set of stairs.
- 12Stay in the dark as a guard above will look down. Wait for him to turn his back, then move up the rest of the stairs. Wait for the guard to return and turn his back again. Grab him and interrogate him about the lasers. Drag him across the laser grid.
- 13Behind the desk, access the computer. Hack, plant the third email (3), and leave via the dark hallway.
- 14Stop in the hall and wait for a guard to cross the new laser area. Grab him and proceed across the lasers. Hide his body.
- 15Enter the hallway, grab the med kit. Turn right around the glass room, OCP the camera.
- 16Wait for the guards in the glass room to stop talking, then neutralize them.
- 17Hack one computer to turn off all cameras in the area and delete camera archives (bonus objective). Hack the other computer to plant the fourth email (4). Use the switch near the door to allow access into the main vault. Exit the room.
- 18Proceed down the hall to a keypad door. Hack it to enter the secretary's room. Pick the lock on the far door.
- 19Approach the computer on the desk in the new room. Hack it and plant the fifth email (5). Find the second main vault access panel in the back right corner beside the bookshelf. Activate it and leave the room.
- 20Backtrack to the room with the lasers. You can ignore the camera now as they are all off.
Tips
- Use EMF vision to detect cameras and OCP them.
- Remote hacking with EEV is crucial for disabling cameras, lasers, and accessing computers.
- Interrogating guards can provide valuable information and unlock access points.
- Be mindful of guard patrol routes and line of sight, especially in dark areas.
- The $50,000,000 in bearer bonds is the primary objective for stealing money.
