Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory HD Trophy Guide and Roadmap

 

 

Overview

 

-Estimated trophy difficulty: 7/10

-Offline: 37 ((B)21 ,(S)11 ,(G)4 , (P)1)

-Online: 0

-Approximate amount of time to Platinum: 15-20 hours

-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 3

-Number of missable trophies: 3 – Makes you feel alive, Greater Good, Immune

-Glitched trophies: None

-Does Difficulty affect trophies: YesBlackOps Specialist, Makes you feel alive, Sentinel

 

 

Welcome to the third installment of the Splinter Cell series HD. You will be required to do 3 playthroughs due to difficulty trophies not stacking. I recommend starting out on Normal so you can have a easier time learning the maps, enemy positions and going for all the misc trophies.

 

If you want a guide to follow or something easy to reference when searching for trophy-related locations, I highly recommend this Walkthrough.

 

 

Step 1 - Playthrough 1: Normal Difficulty

 

For this playthrough you will want to get the following trophies: Greater Good, Immune & Sentinel.

 

Step 2 - Playthrough 2 & 3: Hard/Expert Difficulty

 

Depending on your choice you can either go straight onto Expert to get BlackOps Specialist or you can play Hard, but be warned the Makes you feel alive trophy can be very frustrating so I would leave it for last.

 

Step 3 – Clean up

 

Providing you have not started a new game, you can use mission select to go back and get any missing trophies (except difficulty trophies).

 

Youtube videos in the guide below are my own so I hope they will be some help.

 

 

Thanks for reading!

 

Trophy Guide

Unlock all trophies

 

This is your reward for obtaining all the other trophies.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/02.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.pngBlackOps Specialist

Complete the game in Expert difficulty

 

Start a new game on Expert and complete it.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/03.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.pngMakes you feel alive

Complete the game in Hard difficulty without being killed more than 5 times

 

When you die the game will save your death so reloading a earlier checkpoint won't work. At the start of each mission, save your game and copy your save over to a memory stick and if you die, you've got a backup in place.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/04.jpghttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.pngGreater Good

Achieve above 80% success rate in all missions.

 

Refer to the road map for a walkthrough if you're struggling with any missions. Below are my top tips to help your score. After completing the game and receiving your final score, the trophy should unlock but I believe your final score has to be higher than 80%.

 

  • Watch the training videos at the main menu (they really do help).
  • At the start of each mission, pick the Stealth load out (or Redding's if you prefer flash bangs).
  • Complete secondary objectives.
  • Avoid being detected as an intruder and setting off alarms.
  • Use :l1: to knock out guards and hide their bodies where no one will find them.

Complete the game without using a medkit

 

Playing on Normal will make this trophy very easy; simply complete the game without using any medkits. For mission 10: Kokubo Sosho you may want to refer to "Not Today".

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/18.jpg(B)Art of Unseen

Do not be detected throughout a mission

 

The first mission would be the easiest to do this trophy on, since there are no alarms or cameras to worry about.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/19.jpg(B)Silent Death from above

Take out 5 enemies by inverted neck grip

 

When under a pipe, press :triangle: & :triangle: again to attach yourself to the pipe and when an enemy is under Sam and you see the dialogue box: "Grab character", press :cross: to do an inverted neck grip.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/20.jpg(B)Enhanced perception

Hack 10 terminals without scanning them

Free yourself when captured

 

Mission 10: Kokubo Shosho, when you go down an escalator, Redding will talk about 3 LTL guards at the bottom. Let them capture Sam and he will wake up inside an interrogation room handcuffed. Picklock the cuffs, then the trophy should unlock when Sam gets up.

 

Note: If you are going for "Immune" I recommend making a save before being captured otherwise you will have to complete the mission with only a quarter of your health left.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/24.jpg(B)Life's Edge

Neutralize 20 enemies with the combat knife

 

Go up to a enemy and use :r1: to kill them with your knife. Playing through half of mission 1: Lighthouse and knifing everyone should unlock the trophy.

Free Morgenholt

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/27.jpg(B)Final Cruise

Eliminate Lacerda

 

Story related can't be missed. Mission 2: Cargo Ship, when you have learned that Lacerda is in the captain's quarters, go down there. After he has complained about bribing an inspector he will go get a drink, this will be your opportunity to assassinate him and unlock the trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/28.jpg(B)Worms

Hack 3 retinal scanners

 

Go near a scanner and use your EEV to hack it from a distance. There is 1 retinal scanner in each of the following missions:

 

3. Bank – Across from the sleeping guard after climbing down the rope.

5. Displace – Near where a guard sits at his desk and opposite the door to the gym-like area.

7. Battery – After taking the lift up you should see a guard and camera to your right and the scanner straight ahead on the right side of a door.

10. Kokubo Shosho – After taking the escalator down, go right down some small steps to find the scanner on the left side of a wall.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/29.jpg(B)Knock, Knock-out

Knock out 5 guards by bashing doors

 

Pick a level you are familiar with, get behind a door and use whistle :l2: to lure a guard you can see towards the door. Press :cross: and select “Bash door” to knock the guard out.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/31.jpg(B)Heat Waves

Snipe 10 enemies in Thermal mode

 

Switch to thermal vision and kill any enemies using the SC-20K assault rifle while zoomed in. If you do this on mission 1: Lighthouse, the trophy should unlock by the time you get up to the IT Technician guy (by the laptop).

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/32.jpg(B)Dire consequnces

Eliminate Milan Nedich

 

Story related can't be missed. Mission 6: Hokkaido, Milan will have a conversation with his men about the Displace offices being turned over in New York. Kill Milan and the trophy should unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/33.jpg(B)Price of Betrayal

Eliminate Douglas Shetland

 

Mission 9: Bathhouse, after disabling the last bomb (and killing the last guard) you will go through a door. After a small struggle with Shetland, you will both hold each other at gunpoint. After he says “you wouldn't shoot an old friend“ prove him wrong and shoot.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/34.jpg(B)Price of Friendship

Show mercy to Douglas Shetland

 

Like "Price of Betrayal" but instead, put your pistol away by pressing :square:.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/35.jpg(B)Bushido

Save and Capture otomo

 

Story related, can't be missed. Mission 10: Kokubo Shosho, after stopping the launch of another North Korea missile you will go and confront Otomo. When he impales himself with a dagger, you will need to take the vent on the floor to your right and go save his life by pressing :cross: near him to remove the blade - trophy will unlock when the mission finishes.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/36.jpg(B)Unsung Hero

Perform acts of untold heroism in Seoul

 

Mission 8: Seoul, when you come up to the crash site, go right to the front of the plane and carry the 2 pilots back to the alleyway (watch out for the tank), then go and call in an air strike.

 

Tip: the walkthrough in the roadmap has a good strategy for dealing with the pilots and tank.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/865/37.jpg(B)Cold Duty

Sacrifice the Pilots as per order

 

Like "Unsung Hero" but instead leave the pilots and call in the air strike, trophy will unlock when the mission ends.

You might want to add that sometimes mission trophies don't pop after you've finished the mission - weird glitch, but it's happened to me on the Cargo Ship mission already. The solution is to just load up the last save and finish the mission again.

 

That may off been a one time glitch, I personally have not come across this but if it becomes more widespread then I will add it to the guide.

 

I will be adding the last 2 trophy images when they get uploaded to the site.

Does difficulty make a difference when it comes to your success rating missions? I'm starting out on normal and already completed the first mission twice and highest I've gotten is 75% (second time) which was an improvement over 58% first time as I didn't scan all the crates.

You have to complete the secondary and optional objectives as well as not kill anyone (and not set off any alarms or be spotted, naturally) in order to get to 100%.

 

I don't think you can get above 75% on the first mission if you don't scan every crate since there are only a few objectives. I used a walkthrough to make sure that I got every single objective.

Well even scanning every crate, I got 75%. The reason for not getting 80+ must because I've killed people, or Morgenholt can be saved and I'm just not able to do it as I've been letting him get fried.

No, saving Morgenholt isn't possible AFAIK. Killing enemies on the other hand will lower your score quite significantly.

Providing you have not started a new game you can use mission select to go back and get any missing trophies (except difficulty trophies).

 

can you confirm that the Greater Good trophy can not be achieved using mission select. i scored above 80% on 5 missions during my first play through. without starting a new game i got above 80% on the other 5 using mission select but no trophy.

What was your overall score? I'm guessing it has to be higher than 80% or the trophy might not unlock. Since the trophy is supposed to unlock after your final score is shown I'm also guessing using mission select should not matter.

 

I've updated the Greater Good trophy description.

I was under 80% overall in my play through, after using mission select i was over 90%.i've only got the hard play through to go, don't really want to go for the greater good and makes you feel alive in the same game. good games thou so don't mind a 4th play through .

I think the only place the trophy pops is when you're presented with your scores for each mission - meaning you'd have to play through the last mission again (with a score above 80%).

Heey, Very Nice guide i've been looking for this ;) but only 1 thing: for the Trophy Worms you need to hack it remotley so you need to be in binocular mode and ''scan'' the retinal scanners and then hack them (it worked for me)

cheers

Great guide.

 

Got platinum last night and followed the normal/80%/no medkit route like you suggested, followed by Expert then Hard/under 5 deaths. After my first play, I had all but two bronze (thermal sniping/shotgun) and the other two difficulties so I was able to blast through the rest of the trophies.

 

If I had to make any suggestions, I'd add for 80% (or better) that you add avoiding all contact if you can. It took me to do the first mission three times before I realised that beating up everyone I came across didn't work that well. Works great on Expert or Hard, but not when you're looking to score high.

That's called ghosting, while its great for looking like a stealth pro it can hinder your progress through a mission if you're trying to avoid guards at all cost.

 

As long as you knock them out from behind without being detected and hide there bodies then your score won't be effected. Sometimes knocking a guard from the front can count as being detected if they scream.

I didn't find it hindering at all. The stupid thing is if you draw your gun, you can stand up and walk past guards at full speed without making a noise (making sure it's dark enough). Need to cross a room to access a computer, aim your gun. Want to sneak past someone, draw your gun. Want to follow someone, draw your gun. Even during missions when I had to back track, there 99% of the time you can easily avoid everyone you've left alive.

 

I always found that missions where I could walk past everyone resulted in 90+ percent, but any time I had to stun to get past, I could drop to low 80s. Even then, I still had to replay two or three missions to better avoid even when I wasn't getting caught or bodies found.

Slow may of been a better word in this case but how exactly do you "stun" guards? As far as i'm aware knocking guards out should not effect your score providing there bodies aren't found.

Yep, I got 100% ratings even when knocking out 7 or more guards. Everything else on the stats screen has to be a zero though.

Just got platinum today :dance:

 

The Makes you feel alive trophy was easier than I though, unlike the other two HD releases. It was pretty fun to get it, but I don't want to play Kokubo Sosho again, and don't even say the name Bathhouse in front of me again. Just did two complete playthroughs today (Makes you feel alive & Sentinel - last 2 trophies).

 

I won't even touch the other two games, those pieces of s***, it's clear that the game which was better worked on was Chaos Theory, the others are just rushed ports.

 

Good luck for everyone aiming for the trophy!
