Files, files everywhere... hints and tips for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent

Files, files everywhere...

Okay, I decided to come back with the locations for all the files. Lucky you. They can all be found on JBA HQ 4, but it makes it easier on yourself later if you sneak around and get them before then. There's only one file that can only be found on JBA HQ 4, and it's on the way to the bomb, so that's pretty easy. I apologize for the bad spelling once again.

Medical Files: Everyones medical files are in one cabinet, and they can be found in JBA HQ 1! Fun. Go to the medical bay to find Enrica there. She'll talk to you for a bit before retreating into the office. Pick the lock on the room that she just went into. Before opening it, crouch, use the stealth open and open it as quietly as possible. Slowly creep forward and open the cabinet right in front of you. If you're really quiet, Enrica won't notice. All the medical files are there. Now for the other ten files...

Enrica: I'm not sure which is which for all of them, but here's where they are. The first is in her office. In JBA HQ 2, sample Emiel's voice and open the door Enrica left you to do the mines through. Pass the first door up, and the hallway you come across will have a camera in it. Grab the pipe overhead and swing your legs up before going past the camera. This door will be Enrica's office. The passcode is 1337 (Yes, yes, I know it's Leet.) You'll immediatly see Enrica's back, so hug the desks to your right and squeeze between the desks. I've heard that you'll want to turn the computer off, but I never noticed a difference if you didn't. Do it if it makes you feel safer, and creep forward to lift the files. The others are in her room. Head back the way you came and go through the door you passed up earlier, and sneak around whatever way is easiest for you and break into Enrica's room, closing the door behind you incase Jamie decides to pay you a visit. Lift the files.

Emiel: After Enrica's files, there are two ways to get to Emiel's office. The safer route is to climb out her window and make your way to Emiel's balcony. Make sure to stay away from the safe at first and lift the files farther up in his office. Go towards the safe to trigger the checkpoint, where Emiel and Jamie will cme into his office. If you haven't sampled Jamie's voice yet, go for it. Hide in the shadows until Emiel comes and gets the blueprints from his safe. Creep after him and go into his room while he shares the files with Jamie, closing the door behind you. Quickly go into his room and lift the files. I'll even help you get out. Leave his room and close the door behind you. Wait until he's put the blueprints back and walked back to his couch before sneaking back out and scanning the prints. If you want to end the mission early, go back through Enrica's room and smooze her to keep her quiet. If not, wait for Emiel to go to his room and sneak out the front door.

Dayton: The first can actually be found in JBA HQ 1. (GASP!) Go to the gate right next to where the mine assembly will be in the next HQ mission. Turn off the lights for cover and hack the data pad. Wait for the guard to head back to the room and squeeze between the desks and wall, positioning yourself so that you can see the camera. Wait until Jamie comes out and leaves, and until the camera is pointing towards where you came in. Creep into the room and wait in the shadow of the machine right in front of you for Dayton to stop scolding the guard. Wait until that guard leaves and turn off the lights. I was able to pull this off once without Dayton getting up to go get the lights, but if he doesn't get up, it's better: creep up next to him and search the cabinet right next the the computer. He won't see you, so don't worry. The next is in the room right across the hall from Enrika's room. Pick the lock and close the door behind you so Jamie doesn't get suspicious, assuming that you're doing this in JBA HQ 2. If not, it's 4, and no one is in this room. Scan the files in both cabinets. One for Jamie, and one for Dayton.

Jamie: For his first file, see Dayton. His next is the only file that HAS to be found in JBA HQ 4. Get to the core area with Enrica's retinal, whether you had to take it or she was there to let you in. The first room you get to should have three doors (One being a double door) Including the one you just came in through. Kill or avoid the guards, and find the single door that you didn't come through with the data pad on it. Hack it, and Jamie's final file should be in there.

Moss: Moss's are the most fun to get. Get Emiel's fingerprint scan, go to the second floor, and through the fingerprint scanner. Moss will be there yelling at Jamie. If you don't have Moss's voice scan, now is a great time to get it. Wait until they leave, and sneak forward and to the left. (To the right is a retinal scan that you'll be able to get through to stop the bomb in JBA HQ 4) The first door that you'll see is Moss's room. Pick the lock, and go in. Don't forget to close the door behind you! Start scanning his files, keeping an eye on the window. Eventually, before you're finished, Moss will come towards the door. Don't worry. Finish the scans, because it'll take him a few seconds to get through the door for some reason. Hide in the locker right next to the cabinet, and wait for Moss to finish grumbling about you and beating on his punching bag. Once he leaves, climb out and leave his room. Moving farther on is a room with a camera. Get creative with the camera; sneak under it and wait in the shadows for it to move away, sneak around it through the room with guards with their backs to you, whatever works. Move farther on, and at the end of the hall on your right is a door. Hack the pad, and sneak in, hiding behind the open door. Wait until Moss leaves and sneak up to get visual proof of the bomb with the computer next to the guard if you need it, and slowly back away. Move in the direction Moss went to the door that leads to his office. Wait until his back is to you, and sneak forward, hugging the right wall to get behind his bookcase. Sneak behind it and up to his cabinet to get his files. If you don't have his prints yet, they're on the table behind where you were stealing the files, to the right of the computer. Sneak back to the door, waiting for the guard to walk away, and sneak out, squeezing between a machine and a table to get to an open window. Jump out of it and down to an unrestricted area, and you're in the clear!

Happy hunting! Follow these tips, along with those in my other three hints, and you'll have the Agent of The Month achievement before you know it! Good luck spies!
