Complete walkthrough
6 chapters from the opening stage through completion.
Objectives, difficulty and stealth
Understand why Agent, Secret Agent and 00 Agent change the mission route.
- Read every objective before starting; higher difficulties add tasks rather than only increasing enemy strength.
- Use suppressed weapons, manual aim and alarms carefully so guards do not flood narrow rooms.
Mission briefing and control style understood.
Dam, Facility and Runway
Complete the opening infiltration and escape sequence.
- On Dam, handle guards quietly, complete all difficulty-specific objectives and bungee from the marked platform.
- In Facility, protect scientists, locate the correct rooms and place remote mines on the required tanks before meeting the exit condition.
Runway escape completed.
Surface, Bunker, Silo and Frigate
Navigate snow installations, timed objectives and hostage rescue.
- Use landmarks and the watch compass on outdoor snow maps instead of wandering between identical structures.
- In Silo and Frigate, complete objectives before the exit; rushed explosions or missed hostages can fail the mission late.
Frigate objectives completed.
Return missions through Streets
Revisit the Surface and Bunker, then escape St. Petersburg.
- Expect changed guards and objectives in the second Surface and Bunker missions; do not rely on the first routes blindly.
- During Statue, Archives and Streets, protect required characters and avoid explosives near mission-critical targets.
Streets escape completed.
Depot, Train, Jungle, Control and Caverns
Finish the Janus pursuit and protect Natalya during major defense sequences.
- On Train, locate the exit mechanism quickly after the final confrontation and create the escape opening.
- At Control, prepare weapons before Natalya begins work and clear each incoming guard route early.
Caverns escaped.
Cradle, Aztec and Egyptian
Defeat Trevelyan and complete the two bonus operations.
- Chase Trevelyan without falling behind, use cover around the antenna and finish the confrontation on the lower platform.
- Aztec and Egyptian require stronger objective knowledge; clear the appropriate campaign difficulties first, then learn each room before attempting speed.
Cradle complete and bonus missions available or cleared.
Secrets and field notes
Useful details for cleaner runs and full completion.
Objective scaling
Always open the watch briefing after changing difficulty because added objectives can alter the entire route.
Alarm discipline
Destroy alarms only when safe; stray explosives near terminals, scientists or hostages can fail objectives.
Multiplayer fundamentals
Learn armor and weapon spawn locations, keep moving and avoid repeatedly entering the same contested room.
Frequently asked questions
Fast answers to common progression problems.
Why does the mission end even though I reached the exit?
At least one required objective was incomplete or failed. Check the watch screen before leaving.
What changes on higher difficulties?
Enemies become more dangerous and missions add objectives, items, rooms or characters that must be handled.
How do I unlock bonus missions?
Aztec and Egyptian are tied to completing the main missions at the required higher difficulty levels.
