Walkthrough
When the mission starts, you'll parachute onto a watchtower.
Turn to your right and shoot the guard in the watchtower opposite
of you. Then take out the guard that's patrolling below. Now turn
to the other side and shoot the two guards in the other watchtower.
From here, there are two routes you take can take to enter the
castle.
Route #1: The Bond Way
From the tower you start at, hop onto the truck as it drives under
the bridge. When you get close to the main gate, blast away at
the two guards. The truck will take you into the castle, thus
giving you the first Bond Move. The rest of the
walkthrough assumes that you take the next route, so only take
this option if you're familiar with the level.
Route #2: The Stealthy Way
This method is safer and you'll take less enemy fire. Start by
taking the stairs down the watchtower. Run up the hill to the
next watchtower and cut the lock on the door with your watch laser.
Go up the stairs, across the little bridge, and climb the stairs
to the roof of the tower where there's a wire you can use to climb
across. Simply stand under the wire and press the Use key. Watch
out for the fray in the centre which is shooting sparks. When
you get across, follow the snow path until you reach a balcony
with a grapple point. Use your cell phone to get up and enter
the castle.
Once inside, climb the stairs to the turret at the top of the
castle. Kill the guard, take the sniper rifle, and shoot the two
guards operating the searchlights down below. Run down to the
ground floor and go outside. Right above you is a balcony with
a guard and another searchlight. Make sure you kill him. Run across
to the end of the courtyard and you'll find a long balcony with
a patrolling guard.
Bond Move 2/2: There's a generator in the area.
Shut it off. This is only useful if you take Route #1, since you're
coming from the opposite direction of the searchlights.
Secret 1/2: There's a grapple point on the balcony
where the guard was patrolling. Use your cellphone to pull yourself
up, where you'll find some grenades and armour.
Continue past the generator to the next area where the truck
is parked. There's two patrolling guards. Beyond the truck is
another guard and some armour if you need it. To the left of the
large metal gate is a fountain and past that is a building with
two guards and a power switch. Kill them (you can shoot the first
guard through the window), hit the switch to unlock the
security door, and run back to the turret building. Instead of
climbing the stairs though, turn right after entering the building
and go through the padlocked door you've just unlocked. This area
has a patrolling guard plus two more guards operating balcony
searchlights. Kill them, using your infrared specs if necessary,
and climb the stairs to trigger a cut scene.
Once inside Drake's castle, head to the party room. Go down to
where the guests are, speak to the waiter to get your gadgets,
and use your camera to take pictures of all four women. If you're
having trouble with the camera, download the patch. Once this
is done, Rook will move away from the doorway he was blocking.
Go through it to the library. After the cut scene, climb the spiral
staircase and head to the next area, the museum. It contains 4
castle
guards. Dispatch them with your dart pen (keep your distance and
hopefully they won't notice you), take their guns, and continue
to the next area, the gallery. A guard is patrolling the lower
level of the gallery. Kill him and walk across the rafters to
the other side.
Secret 2/2: The painting to the left of the
fireplace contains a hidden safe. Open the painting, cut the safe's
lock with your watch laser, and take the grenades inside. There's
nothing you do can do with the secret documents, despite what
M suggests.
The next area contains a cut scene in which Zoe is captured by
security. After it ends, throw some grenades down into the dining
room and you'll take out a guard or two if you're lucky. Then
run down the stairs and kill any remaining guards. Beyond the
dining room is another guard, followed by a staircase which leads
to the gondola station. The station has four more guards who shoot
at you from behind crates. Try using your Kowloon to snipe their
heads. Zoe is waiting in the gondola for you. You'll have to turn
on the power to the gondola first. Don't forget to take the bulletproof
vest, ammo, and rocket launcher before leaving. Shortly after
the gondola departs from the station, it will stop and two guards
will rush out and shoot at you. Take them out with your Kowloon.
Boss - Helicopter: Now Rook and his men will
attack your gondola in their helicopter. On Operative and Agent,
you can safely take them out with your uzi without taking too
much damage. On 00 Agent, you'll want to use your rocket launcher
to take out the helicopter as quickly as possible. Be careful
not to hit the edge of the Gondola window with your rockets.
Make sure you aim where the helicopter is going, not where it
currently is, because the
rockets are slow. After a few hits, it'll crash and you'll pass
the mission.
