For the last area where Masse, the single guard is and the 3 guards that come through the doubled doors, see if you can not KO anyone, excluding Masse of course. I am mainly talking about the guard by Masse because "themessage" has already been able to not KO the 3 guards that bust in. So try and keep that first guard alive untouched and conscious. Its a little tricky but possible. I'll post my video of it later when you've tried it.
So after all that you should complete the mission with 0 KO's (excluding Masse).
Good challenge. I have not been able to do that yet. The entrance is triggered by forcing Masse to use the computer so you have limited time to KO him and find shelter. Shooting out all the lights does not help. They start tossing grenades at you too so you have to move around. I have been able to get to Masse without KOing the other guard but that is as far as that went.
For those wondering what this is about, the Kola Cell is a bonus level from the first Splinter Cell game- available as downloadable content for the XBox originally and later for PC as part of the Collector's Edition of Chaos Theory or sold seperately as an expansion pack in Germany and the UK.
The submarine level is hard to do without KOs too.
I only just got these levels (I didn't have Live on my XBox, and it took me a while to finally buy a HD for my 360), so it's probably going to be a [long] while before I can do a clean run on that mission. My first time through I shot the guard and put wall mines around the balcony...yeah, not so stealthy.
I did do well on the Vselka Infiltration, though. (please don't patronize me by saying how easy it is... )
As far as I could find, it was not like in Nicholadz's office where they leave after a certain time. Too bad I don't really have time to play the game these days.
OK- I spent a while on it tonight and don't see how to do it. I can get Masse without bothering the single guard already in there, but once you use the computer, the other three will hunt you down. I even tried ghosting immediately after using the computer and the guards do not leave. Other things I tried: Jumping up to the broken stairs (the way I take into the room). Can't get up that way. Second, climbing atop the computers and jumping over- killed before I can get there. I don't see how to do it. By the way, there is a second KO required- the colonel for the scanner which lets up to the upper level.

Well there is also a way to not KO Alekseevich. You take him to the raised platform in the room where the lasers were and walk backwards to let him go leaving him conscious. This can be done without losing any health as he does shoot at you.
Anyway, i'll give you a hint. You have to distract that guard by Masse only once. Then its basicly the same method.
Please don't tell me it involves those smoke grenades...because I've seen it done, but tried many, many times last night and never was able to catch the guard who goes to the far side of the balcony before he got too far. Not mention, those suckers bounce like crazy and aiming is a PitA...
I found The Message's videos on You Tube. on PC you cannot extract unless Masse is dead (I have KO'd him before and had to go back before I could leave) and I did not see him actually kill him- only KO. I haven't actually tried it as I saw in the video.
Timing is essential when using the smoke grenades because when you KO Masse you have to allow a very, very small amount of time for the 3 guards that drop in to throw the grenade to blow up and kill Masse "accidently". Then you can extract. Its the same on the xbox. You can't ectract unless Masse is dead.
Yes lol you have to use 2 smoke grenades and it took me a million hours to perfect everything as best as i could.
Another clue. The first guard, by Masse that you have to distract, will get caught up in the smoke grenades that you use for the 3 guards that intrude. I would not have to distract the first guard in the first place except the problem was he wasn't around far enough...i needed more time.
If you'll like to see the video just let me know and i'll post it. scworld, i'd like to see your video aswell. Maybe send it via PM pls.
