Mission 9.3 [Kinshasa] Splinter Cell DA Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

COMPLETE MISSION WALKTHROUGH:

We'll start off with a very interesting cut-scene (#1). Listen to what Emile has to say. If you managed to save Hisham's life, he's going to be furious. You should be able to regain a full control over Sam's actions very soon (#2). Your main objective here will be to save Hisham's life (or to reach the extraction zone), so let's get going.

Make a few steps forward. Don't worry about the destroyed antenna. You will have to use a nearby rope (#1). Thanks to that, you should be able to reach a destroyed building. Climb down and head on to a small passageway. There's going to be a large explosion here (#2), however you shouldn't lose any health. Save your game before you decide to proceed any further.

You should be getting closer to a large street. That's where the rebels are fighting with the army forces. You should be able to locate a hole in the floor (#1). Use it to climb down to the lower level. Once you're there, you will have to wait for a right moment to make a move. Start heading towards a destroyed bus (#1) that should be located on your left. Enter it.

Exit the bus and turn left. You will have to hide by the metal container (#1). You should be quite safe here. A small group of rebels should appear in the area. You will have to wait for the army troops to kill these guys. Otherwise you'd have some serious problems avoiding them. Proceed to the next large object that's located on your left (#2). Remember that you can't stay in the open for too long, especially since there are a lot of hostile units in this area.

Turn left. You should be able to reach a small tunnel (#1). That's where you'll need to go. Don't forget to save your game from time to time, mostly because it's very easy to make a mistake here. Head on to a larger tunnel (#2). As you've probably suspected, you will have to start moving forward. The objective will be to reach a destroyed gunship.

You should be getting closer to the military helicopter (#1). I'm sure that you remember it from the first cut-scene. Wait for the right moment to make a move. You will have to reach the rear side of the gunship. You'll find some ammunition here (#2). Pick it up and start moving forward. You shouldn't stay here, because the area is not safe.

Once you've reached the main part of the cabin, the rear part of the gunship will explode (#1). I guess that it may surprise you a little bit. Thankfully, you won't lose any health here. Make a few steps forward. Climb down and hide by a large object that will be located on your left (#2). It's time for the final part of this mission to begin. It's going to be quite difficult, so I'd strongly recommend that you save your game. I would also like to say that you won't be allowed to raise an alarm here.

Start off by leaning out carefully. As you've noticed, one of the rebels is coming this way (#1). He is going to execute an army soldier. You could try and prevent this from happening, however it won't be necessary. The more important thing is to knock out the rebel soldier (#2). Hide his body, so it won't be noticed by any of his colleagues. Now we will have to take care of an enemy sniper.

Start moving towards a large entrance. Don't enter the palace just yet. Instead, use a nearby ladder (#1). You will have to reach the top level of this construction. There's a single rebel here. Perform a surprise attack (#2). It's best to knock him unconscious. You won't have to kill this guy. Save your game here. You should be in a lot of hurry, because the rest of the rebels will begin executing the hostages (including Hisham) very soon.

It would be wise to climb up to the roof of the palace building (#1). There's a large hole ahead of you. Use the second ladder. You should be able to eliminate at least one rebel soldier from here. I'd strongly recommend that you use some of the carried Sticky Shockers to take them down (#2).

Go back to the roof and get closer to a much larger hole. You should be able to eliminate a few other rebel soldiers from here (#1). There's going to be at least two of them. After that, go back to the main ladder. You will have to reach the main entrance. Make a few steps forward. Enter the palace and position yourself correctly. Take care of the remaining enemy units (#2). You should be able to kill (or neutralize) these soldiers without any major problems. Just make sure that the hostages aren't killed.

Proceed to the main area of the palace. One of the hostages is the CIA agent. You will have to press the USE key (#1). This isn't over yet. You will have to escort Hisham to the extraction zone. The problem is that a nearby alley is being guarded by a single soldier. He will probably attack you, so you may as well consider killing him (#2). You could also throw a couple of grenades at hum, however it won't be necessary.

You will have to locate a destroyed part of the wall. Exit the palace and head on to a nearby alley (#1) that should be located in front of you. Also, make sure that Hisham's following you. Turn left. There's a small gate here. Wait for Hisham to show up here. Press the USE key once again (#2). You won't have to create any additional savegames here.

By pressing the use key, you will allow Hisham to leave this area of the map (#1). As a result, you won't have to worry about him anymore. Go back to the central part of the alley. The palace is going to be destroyed in a few seconds (#2). Listen to what Emile has to say. He thinks that Hisham was killed during the explosion, so you won't have to worry about the JBA's reaction as well. Wait for this mission to end.
