METHOD B-  stealth
Run to the first block of boxes, and wait there for the guard on the boat to turn his back. Once he does, run to the second block of boxes, and drop into sneak mode. Wait for this guard to start walking away, and move slowly to the west. When you've put a decent distance between you and him, you can run to the next corner. Keep going west and you'll see a little path running between two hills. Check the map to find the position of the patroller who orbits the temple, and you can probably just run to the spare costume.


SECOND CHALLENGE-       Blending further in
-------------------------------------------
There's about a billion ways to get to the Doctor's office, and I'm sure you can figure at least one out on your own. All you have to do is keep a good distance between you and any nurses. I ran to the northwest spiral stairwell, and, sneaking first, picked the door into it. Then, checking the map to make sure there were no nurses coming, ran up the spiral stairs to the roof, and went to the side stairs down the balcony near the office with the equipment. From there, it's a simple matter to wait until the nearby nurse goes out on the balcony, and slip into Chakran's office.

After you take the nightvision and key, head north and grab the Doctor's uniform. You can move pretty freely in this disguise. Guards seem to get suspicious, but never start shooting. Nurses, however, you should still give a wide berth.

The easiest way to the basement is probably to go back to the roof, and use one of the spiral staircases again. Once here, grab a scalpel from one of the two offices. You can walk as close to guards as you like, as long as you act in a Doctor-ly fashion. No running, and no carrying obvious weapons. I guess you're supposed to use the ventilation system to peek into the surgery rooms and find the one with the two cult members, which contains your target. However, if dressed as the Doctor, you can literally just walk into each surgery room until you find them. EVERY time I've played this, they've been in the northwest room.

The challenge coming up is to get rid of those two cult guards, since taking out the target himself isn't exactly difficult.


THIRD CHALLENGE-        Like a surgeon
--------------------------------------
METHOD A-  plain and simple
Walk into the operating room, and move to the side so only one of the guards can see you, and the other has his back to you. Quickly draw your silenced pistol and shoot the guard facing you in the head. His friend will run to the body. Give him a matching head wound, and then plug the target. As long as nobody sees the bodies from the hall, you can pretty much just walk to the exit.


METHOD B-  simple, but not so plain
Go into the ventilation system, and shoot both cultists in the head through the little hole. You're practically guaranteed to get away with it, but shooting through the hole is surprisingly difficult, even in first person view. Once that's done, slip into the operating theatre and kill the target.


METHOD C-  cloak of darkness
Once you've established where the patient is, switch off the electricity in the base- ment. The turbaned bodyguards will pretty much ignore you, as long as you don't bump into them, but the two cultists in the operating theatre are a bigger problem. Once the lights go out, they start running about the place like maniacs, and if they see you, they'll open fire. Wait til they've run out of the basement, and run into the operating room. Quickly pull out your scalpel (or silenced pistol, whatever) and kill the target.
Here's where it sometimes gets sticky. You have to make into one of the spiral stair- wells, and down the few steps to the door outside before either of the two running cultists find you. This is largely dependant on timing and luck, so I'm afraid I don't have any specific advice on getting by them.


SILENT ASSASSIN
---------------
Use method A for insertion and method C for the kill. It's a disappointingly easy mission, all in all.


THE EASY WAY
------------
Method A, then method A. So why are all the easy missions at the end? The russian and japanese missions, and even mission 1 are all a lot harder than the last ones have been. Pretty disappointing.


LOOT
----
Uzi-            On many guards. If you got in without killing anyone, and you used the scalpel on the target, you just plug a cultist on your way out and grab one without endangering your SA rating.
R39 Sniper-     In the little temple. Wear a guard or cultist disguise if you want to carry this thing off.
Scalpel-        In the two offices in the basement.





MISSION 19- ST. PETERSMURG REVISITED
======================================================================================

Play this yourself until you figure out what's going on. There's no way I can write a faq for this mission without being spoilerific, and I HIGHLY recommend you discover this mission's twists for yourself.

Tips-
1. There is nowhere you can hide the body that it won't be eventually found.
2. He walks back and forth between two possible locations, maybe more. How you approach the mission is going to depend greatly on where he is. Put the ability to move while using binoculars to good use.
3. After the spit hits the fan, you will need a disguise of some type, although none will work very well for very long.
4. In case you haven't already, try getting the sniper rifle to the ammo drop, and shoot something. Blanks! The bastards gave us BLANKS!
5. I've heard that the cut scene costs you time, but can't really verify that. It would make sense, considering that's usually how cut scenes work. You should definitely watch it once though.
6. Some people report being able to pick weapons for this mission. I always get stuck with just the wire.


FIRST CHALLENGE-        Spoiler city
------------------------------------
As I said, our friend loads in two places. One is watching over the front entrance, and one is looking out the right side of the building. Find out which one he's in using the binoculars, and make your way to the front door of the building while staying out of that line of fire. WALK up the stairs, and into the room with "Sergei." If the sniper is covering the front of the building, sneak through the front rooms toward him, and throttle him with the wire. It's super-easy to do if he's in this front position.

If he's in the other spot, you're in for more of a challenge. I'd still advise going through the front rooms to get to him, since he seems to be more alert on his left than his right, but it's still a pretty simple affair to sneak up and wire him. Just remember to start sneaking at least a room away.

The thing to remember is that he keeps moving around, so if he keeps turning and seeing you as you sneak up, it's because it's time for him to move to a new spot, so restore a game and wait til he's done. It's also important that he hasn't seen you yet. If you got sniped at, restore.


SECOND CHALLENGE-       The safety of the sewers
------------------------------------------------
METHOD A-  run, hitman, run
The instant the corpse hits the floor, skip the cut scene, and grab his clothes and rifle, and RUN for the nearest sewer entrance. If you are very fast and lucky, you can make it past the first guard in that sewer before the alerts goes up, and you're golden. Run toward the exit tunnel.

There'll be a guard facing you, guarding this last tunnel, but he doesn't seem to be too swift on the uptake. As long as you aren't already dodging bullets, and only walk, and stay as far from him as possible, it's possible to slip into the exit tunnel with- out him causing a fuss. From here, you just have to pick the lock, and slip by the remaining two guys when they're both looking the other way.


METHOD B-   a suspicious clone
Quickly grab the clothes and rifle, and run for the southernmost sewer entrance. It's the one in the middle of the road by the water. The alert will probably go up before you get in there, but nobody can see you, so it's no big deal. Proceed down the tunnel, and start sneaking at the end. You'll notice the guard here isn't looking right at you.
As long as you sneak, and stick to the far side of the tunnel, you can sneak around behind him with no worries. Wire him, or drug him, if the mission let you pick weapons.

Take his clothes, and run toward the backdoor to the metro.

There'll be a guard facing you, guarding this last tunnel, but he doesn't seem to be too swift on the uptake.

From here, you just have to pick the lock, and slip by the remaining two guys when they're both looking the other way.


METHOD C-  planning ahead
Take out a bodyguard BEFORE you kill the clone. There's two good spots to do this. The first is the lone guard who patrols in the southwest area of the map. If you hide in the truck near the second agency drop, crouching behind a box on the left, you can jump out and wire him when he stops there. Drag him around behind the truck.

The other spot is the northern back door to the apartment complex. There's two guards who stop right outside of that door. Wait until one walks away, and wire the other one.
Drag his body inside, and up the stairs.

In either case, don't take their clothes yet. Once you have the clone dead, take his clothes and the rifle, and run to the dead guard. NOW take the guards clothes, and drop the rifle. It's sort of unpredictable how well this disguise works, but it will work much better than your own suit, or the clone's suit after his body has been found. You should be able to make it out as long as you give the other guards a wide berth, and don't draw attention to yourself.


METHOD D-  did I say nowhere?
There IS a spot you can stash the body with impunity, but it's unreliable, and only works if you kill the clone in the front room. Quickly skip the cut scene and change clothes, leaving the rifle for now. Drag the body to the room with the cardboard Sergei and drag it around between the table and the windows. The idea here, is to position the body so that you can't see it from the stairway door, because the table top is in the way. I can't get this to work consistently (sometimes an arm sticks out) but if it does work, the rest of the mission becomes a cake-walk.


SILENT ASSASSIN
---------------
To get SA on this mission, you have to do a very simple thing; not be shot at. Once I finished with 1 kill, and 1 alert, but got professional because people chased me.
Another time I got 2 kills and 1 alert, but got Silent Assassin because nobody fired a shot. Method B is by far the most reliable means of escaping quietly. Also of note; the clone counts as an enemy killed, since he's not the original target.


THE EASY WAY
------------
Alas, there really isn't one. I guess if you take the time to snuff a bodyguard ala method C, you can shoot cloney in the back of the head, but that will bring people running too fast.


LOOT
----
W2000 sniper-   17 has it. It's perfectly easy to get out with, because it serves as part of your disguise.
SP12-           Some guards have it.





MISSION 20- REDEMPTION AT GONTRANO
======================================================================================

Okay, this is it. You've got 21 highly alert, heavily armed, strategically located enemies to deal with, and you start with little more than a piece of string. There's no ratings per se, but I can show you how to do this mission without ever being shot at, which is about as stealthy as it's going to get.

Tips-
1. Remember that when you release the crouch button, you'll stand straight up, even if you were sneaking before the crouch.
2. You can't shoot through the holes in the railing, but neither can the bad guys.
3. Despite peering through scopes, the snipers on this level have really good peripheral vision.
4. The first two guys are the hardest part of the mission.
5. All the guards with sniper rifles seem to stay pretty much put unless they see you or a gunfight breaks out. They don't run to check on fallen friends or anything like that.
6. Most of the guys inside the church have very powerful weapons that can kill you in one hit, but if you follow my guide, you'll never even be in danger of being shot at.


FIRST CHALLENGE-        Reaching the shed
-----------------------------------------
METHOD A-  like a shadow
Wait for the two guards in the first area to get around the corner (heading north) and
