Reach the vicinity of the police station | Mission 1 - Safehouse Splinter Cell: Blacklist Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Go ahead and ignore completely the battles that take place in the streets. On your way, you will have to climb up to a portion of the roof located higher up, and also jump over a balustrade. This should be no problem to you. Drop down from the balustrade and approach the neighboring wall, so you can pull up. Do not hurry too much with reaching the next balcony, because there is a single guard around. Wait for the enemy to turn his back at you and pull up. Walk then into the room to the left.
Keep vigilant, stand next to exit from the room that you are currently in and wait for the guerilla to change positions again. Turn left, jump over the balustrade and shimmy to the right. Thanks to this, you will reach the neighboring roof. Keep going ahead and climb onto the higher fragment of the roof. Fisher will bump into the first one of the many storages where he can replenish his supplies (ammo, and additional gadgets) but, if you are playing the Perfectionist difficulty level, using the storage will be forbidden.
Approach the edge and notice the enemy in the distance. Wait for the guard to start going right and catch onto the zipline. Thanks to this, you will reach the roof of the neighboring building. After you land, turn right and approach, carefully, the door to the left shown in the screenshot.
Note- if you made a mistake and did not time the slide down the zipline well, you should consider landing on the guard to disable him (press the melee button/key at the last possible moment). If this happens, you should also make sure that you conceal the body in the blue container.
Climb down the stairs and keep vigilant. After you reach the new portion of the roof, there will be new enemies to appear around, and they will be coming for you. As fast as possible, approach the balustrade to the left, jump over it and shimmy to the left. You will pass by a guard going to the room where you have just been. After you reach the end of the ledge, catch quickly on to the one overhead. This way you will be able to reach the balcony above, on the roof.
Take a few steps ahead and take cover behind the wall shown in the screenshot. You should do that because there will be an enemy coming for you in a moment. Wait for the guard to walk away and go towards the passage that he has just taken (this means that you will be going right next to the roof's edge).
Approach the wooden stairs to the next area of the roof. Do not climb it and jump over the balustrade on the left. Shimmy to the left. Drop down and catch onto the ledges below. Shimmy to the left as far as you can and start pulling up again.
Wait for the right moment and pull up for the last time, so that you end up on another area of the roof. Enter the small room to the left quickly, but only if it isn't occupied by any enemy. After you are out in the open again, jump over the balustrade to the left and shimmy to the left.
Your current destination is the wooden stairs shown in the screenshot. Climb up the stairs and approach the building's wall. Catch onto the cornice above. For the next time, shimmy to the left, pull up on your way, so you can continue. Finally, drop down and land onto the part of the roof below.
Soon, the game will inform you that you are near a high-value target and, according to the suggestion, it would be a good thing to do, if you captured the enemy without killing him, because you will receive a bonus if you do. Carefully, approach the nearest window and wait for the enemy, who is talking on the phone now, turns away. Open the window and take the enemy from behind. You need to press the melee button/key twice - first to catch the enemy, and for the second time to tie him up and prepare him for ally extraction.
Keep along your path and reach a corridor with several flats to the right, that are currently being ransacked by the enemy fighters. Approach the light switch to the left and interact with it. Jump through the window to the left. Shimmy to the right over the cornice and stop as soon as you reach the last window.
Wait for the enemy soldiers to disperse and return inside the building. Enter the apartment located opposite the spot that you currently are in. Carefully, walk over to the left and pass by one of the enemies. Jump into the neighboring flat, stand next to the exit and turn off the light. Remain here until the guard that is patrolling the corridor goes left.
You now need to reach a small yard located at the ground floor, and you can do it in two ways. Variant one assumes that you take the staircase at the end of the main corridor. The staircase is being patrolled by single guard that walks from one level to another. You can hide behind the low wall on the floor and wait for him to pass you by.
Variant two assumes another crossing over the cornices and you would have to start on the big balcony located to the left (you reach it after you leave the last flat). Shimmy to the left and then, keep dropping down to the ledges below.
If you have chosen the stairs, you will reach an unprotected garage. Carefully, approach the yard and note that there are two enemies around. Move into action only after the man patrolling the central part of the yard starts walking around the parked car to the left. At the same time, make sure that the second one of the enemies is staying inside the building, or otherwise you will be spotted. Keep to the left side of the yard and you will reach the side entrance to the building with the second guard.
Carefully, enter the building and make sure that the other enemy is turned away from you. Walk across the entire shop and reach the second locked door. Open it and turn left to grab onto the ledge here. You need to reach the opening behind the locked yellow gate and, if you have chosen variant two, it is possible to reach it without crossing the yard.
Receive the reward for the neutralizing of the high-value target in the previous location (30 thousand dollars if you captured the person without killing him) and get acquainted with the warning concerned with staying near the guard dog. Avoiding dogs is a bit different than avoiding people. Not only do you have to make sure that you are out of the animal's sight, but also you need to stay away from them or, they can blow Fisher's cover, even if in hiding. You can figure out when Fisher is going to be detected in a moment by the sniffing sound that dogs make. In such a situation, you need to move away from the dog as quickly as possible, or make to a platform/ledge/cornice above.
Jump down to the square and turn right to reach a cornice that you can grab onto.
Start moving over the cornice and notice that the dog can't sense you when you are directly above it. I recommend that you do one of three things. Variant one assumes that you use one of your gadgets to e.g. divert the dog's attention and stun it. Variant two assumes that you jump down and sprint towards the fence. Variant three assumes that you land onto the dog and knock it unconscious. Regardless of how you are going to behave, you need to reach the fence and jump over it to get to the police station.
Additional tips for the Panther/Attack playing style: Because the mission largely takes place on rooftops, it is worthwhile to attack the enemies while hanging down. It is also worthwhile to hide the bodies of the fallen enemies in the blue containers.
