Mission 4.2 [Sea of Okhotsk] Splinter Cell DA Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

COMPLETE MISSION WALKTHROUGH:

You start off in the water (#1). The first main objective will be to reach a large iceberg that surrounds the entire ship. Keep heading towards the surface. I would recommend that you turn on your heat vision. Make sure that there's only one guard standing here. He can't be seen by anyone else. Perform a stealth kill. Repeat this action with the second guard (#2). He should arrive here shortly, so you won't have to wait for him for too long. You may exit the water, as there aren't any new soldiers in the vicinity.

Turn right. You've probably noticed by now that one of the soldiers is using a pontoon. You will have to start swimming towards him. Make sure that you're not spotted. Once you're close enough to the pontoon, press the USE key. This will activate a stealth kill (#1). You may proceed to the main boat. There's a small platform here (#2). You will have to reach it. Before you decide to move on any further, listen to what your colleagues from JBA have to say.

You will have to use a nearby console. Press the button (#1). This will lower a larger pontoon. Make sure that you're standing on it. Press the USE key once again. This will allow you to reach the main deck of the ship (#2). This would be a good moment to save the game. There are some very challenging fights ahead of you, so it's best that you've secure your entire progress.

Wait for the new objectives to pop up. You will have to neutralize a large number of enemy units. There are a lot of soldiers in this area. Thankfully, you'll be able to kill most of them. I would recommend that you use your main weapon (rifle) during these fights. Start off by using nearby crates for cover (#1). Wait for the guards to end their conversation. Position yourself correctly (you may consider standing up) and kill the first soldier. He's occupying the upper level of the ship (#2).

Important! It's best to have your personal map on the screen at all times. Also, it would be wise to make necessary stops. This will refresh the image on the minimap.

Start moving forward. Additionally, make sure that you're using the higher balcony for cover. There's a second guard there (#1). You might want to consider taking him out right away. This will allow you to move more freely. I would also recommend that you activate the heat vision from time to time, especially since the visibility is quite poor. Keep going straight. There are at least 3-5 soldiers here. You should be able to knock out most of them. It's very easy to spot their routes. Thankfully, you won't have to hide their bodies. Additionally, kill a single soldier that will appear on the central platform (#2). You can use your heat vision here, so you won't miss him.

The next soldier will be standing on your right. That's where you'll need to go. There are more soldiers here and it's up to you to take care of them. Remember to use your map, so none of them surprises you from behind. (#1). You should also know that a few more soldiers may arrive here later during this mission (#2). You might consider taking them out as well.

Remember to stun enemies instead of killing them (if possible...). You should be able to secure the main part of the deck without any major problems. The only exception are the nearby balconies. Make sure that you won't skip anyone along the way. You could also use a console to distract some of the enemy soldiers, however this won't be necessary. One of the guards will be patrolling the highest balcony that's located on your right (#2). I would recommend killing him, especially since he could spot you and raise the alarm.

Now you will have to locate a ladder that's located near the bridge of the ship (#1). It will be located on the right side of the ship, so you won't have to spend a lot of time looking for it. Use the ladder to reach an upper level. Wait here for a few seconds and listen to what JBA members have to say. Head on to the second ladder (#2). Once you're there, turn left.

There's a single enemy guard here. It would be best to surprise him from the left side (#1). Make sure that he doesn't see or hear you coming. If you position yourself correctly, you should be able to knock him unconscious. Leave his body behind.

You may proceed to the big antenna (#1). You will have to use the ladder in order to reach it. Use your electronical tool or pick the lock. Either way, you will have to open the console. Next, you must hack into the system (#2). Start off by choosing Call Lambert feature. This will allow you to fulfill one of the primary objectives of this mission. Use the computer once again, however this time click on the Antenna Power option (one of the secondary objectives). You may go back to the lower level.

Now you will have to take care of the last group of enemy soldiers. All of them are staying in the bridge. Thankfully, you won't have to neutralize them yourself. We'll find some other way. There's a small ladder on your right (#1). Use it. You will come across a hatch. Open it and use your rope to reach the ground level of this structure (#2). You should be able to find a small tunnel here. Enter it.

You will have to get closer to one of the working fans. A small icon should appear on your screen. It means that you will be able to use a gas grenade (#1). Thanks to that, you will get rid of the enemies. You won't have to go back to the top. Instead, activate your nightvision goggles (#2). Turn left. There should be a small ledge ahead of you. Climb up. After that, enter the ventilation shaft.

You will probably hear some noises along the way (#1). Ignore them... it's just how the gas grenade reacted. ;-) You might want to consider taking a look at what happened there (#2). This isn't necessary. The last main objective of this mission will be to catch the captain, mostly because he will try to blow up the entire ship. You will have to prevent this from happening. Save your game.

Make a few steps forward and turn left. There should be a pipe here (#1). Use it to go back to one of the lower levels. As you've probably noticed, more enemy units have appeared in this area. Furthermore, a large container has been moved (#2). This means that you'll be able to explore a new area of the ship. Reach the main deck. Now you will have to go back to the place where all of this has started (near the large pontoon).

You will have to use one of the nearby objects for cover. Wait for one of the enemy soldiers to show up (#1). I'd personally recommend that you kill him from a larger distance (#2). Additionally, make sure that a nearby sniper won't notice his body. You will have to avoid this opponent. He is standing on a top of a large tower. Save your game here.

Turn right and start moving forward. You should be able to hide here. There's a large tank ahead of you, so you should be quite safe (#1). Use the knife a couple of times. Make sure that you're not moving too fast. Thankfully, you won't encounter any other enemies here.

You should be able to reach the stairs. Wait for the guy in the observation tower to turn around. Start moving upwards (#1). Once you're there, keep moving forward. There's a second enemy soldier on your right. I'd also recommend killing him from here (#2). You shouldn't have any problems aiming at his head. Thankfully, you won't have to his body, because no one's looking this way.

It's time to take down the sniper (this is optional). First of all, you will have to locate a ladder. Use it to reach the top of the tower. Start moving towards the sniper. You will have to be very careful, so he doesn't see or hear you coming. Knock him unconscious. You may go back to the lower level. Go back to the second killed soldier. You will find a large hatch near his body (#2). SAVE your game once again. Use the ladder.

Once you're in a new tunnel, activate your nightvision goggles (#1). Start moving forward. You will have open a door. It should be located on your left. I'd strongly recommend that you keep quiet, because there's an enemy guard on the lower level. Get closer to the stairs, however don't go there just yet. Choose a pistol from your inventory. Use the EMP pulse feature to get rid of the nearby light (#2). This will allow you to move much more freely.

Use the stairs to reach the lower platform. You will have to locate and knock out your opponent (#1). It's very important that you save your game here. Head on to the next door (#2). You will reach a room that's being guarded by two new soldiers. As a result, you must be very careful.

Once you've entered the room, turn right and start moving forward (#1). Make a stop at about half way through. Now you should try to lure your opponents here. You can either whistle or use one of the carried tools. The most important thing is that you take care of this problem. You could knock them out, however I'd recommend using the pistol or the rifle. Additionally, make sure that the alarm isn't raised. Once you've secured this room, you will have to locate a new door (#2). There aren't any other enemy units here, so you might as well start running.

You should be able to reach a large container. First of all, you must locate a console. Press the button (#1). This will stop a large fan that is located underneath you. Jump over the balustrade. Perform a second jump, so you'll end up in the water (#2). Just make sure that you don't hit the large fan. Save your game before proceeding any further.

You will have to locate a small underwater tunnel (#1). Choose it. It'll lead you to a new container. The captain is hiding here. He CAN'T see you coming. Once you've reached the surface, locate a small round platform (#2). Leave the water.

Important! It's very important that you're not seen by the captain, because that would be equal to an instant failure. Hide by the central pillar and start observing his movements.

You will have to wait for a right moment to make a move. The first thing to do here is to grab a metal platform (#1). Wait for the captain to appear in this area. Now you will have to wait for him to turn around. Climb over the balustrade (#2). You will have to do this very quickly.

Start moving towards the captain (#1). You can't let him hear your movements. The next thing to do here is to GRAB him. You will have to press the USE key in order to do that (#2). You CAN'T knock him out as most of your opponents.

This is VERY important, because captain was carrying a flare. Killing or stunning him would result in a huge explosion. Once you've grabbed the captain, you will have to kill him (#1). Press the left mouse button. There's only one more thing to do here. You will have to proceed to the extraction zone. Start off by choosing a nearby ladder (#2). Once you're at the top, open a small hatch.

Head on to the landing zone (#1). I'm sure that you have noticed it earlier, so you should now exactly where do you need to go. The area is secured, so you don't have to worry about being shot. Wait for an allied gunship to arrive (#2). After that, this mission is going to end.

Like always, you will be rewarded for finishing star marked objectives. This time you will unlock Wall Mine - Flash and Shotgun Shell - Attachment.
