Reach the elevator shaft | Mission 5 - Abandoned Mill Splinter Cell: Blacklist Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Approach the wall and start climbing. You, of course, need to keep in mind that there is another sniper above Fisher. It is best to wait until the enemy goes to the right and climb up to the rooftop in the spot where he was previously standing. Note - if you do not want to knock the sniper down, or kill him, you need to remember about him further in the mission, because he can turn your side then and, as a result, surprise you. This same rule applies to the remaining snipers that you will encounter in a few moments.

Go right, ignore the lower portion of the roof and keep going along its higher portion. Follow one of the standard enemies and take the passage shown in the screenshot. You need to watch out here, because there is another sniper here, who will be checking this area every several moments. You also need to wait for the "followed" guard to finish his conversation with the colleague on the lower portion of the roof. Keep moving in a straight line, try to run up to the covers and limit the time you spend exposed to a minimum.

After you reach the final part of the higher path, drop down carefully and remain to the right of the second sniper at all times. Locate the green pipe, which you need to grab onto, and reach the hole in the building's wall along that pipe. Do not haste to pull up and reach the new area, because next to the hole, there may stop a regular guard, whom you have followed not too long ago. Make sure it is safe, pull up and hide behind the nearest cover.

You now need to get towards the roofs located to the left of the sniper here. Jump down and approach the square roof, where there are two enemies. You need to act swiftly here, because you will be spotted by the sniper from the previous location if you take too long. Wait for the new enemies to stop at the edges of the roof and go towards the manhole shown in screenshot 1, or the ladder shown in screenshot 2.

If you have chosen the manhole, do not hurry to slide down and make sure that the enemy below is facing away. If you have chosen the ladder, make use of the pipes to reach the hole in the wall. Also in this case, you need to wait for the last guard to move away and then pull up. Regardless of which path you have chosen, start a linear march along the narrow corridors to reach the elevator shaft. Attach the line and slide all the way down.

Additional tips for the Panther/Attack playing style: Try not to raise alarm too early because approaching the snipers, due to the architecture of this map, may be troublesome.
