   Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow on PS2 Codes
# Easier aiming with pistol

To aim better with the pistol, press Square to pull it out. The crosshair should appear normal. Then, press Up on the D-pad and the crosshair should become a laser sight. This makes it very easy to aim, since the laser sight is smaller and thinner than the normal crosshair. This allows fast kills and head shots. Note: If you are in dark corners and have the laser sight on, the enemies will notice and attack you.
# Easier aiming with SC-20K

Press R3 to zoom in the sniper scope, then press L1 to hold your breath. You should be able to get a good shot while Sam remains still.
# Knocking out guards

To knock out a guard without using a Sticky Shocker or a Air Foil, shoot a Sticky Cam at their head. Note: It must hit him directly in the head for the guard to get knocked out.
# Stealth

To move quieter, crouch down and walk slower. This will make your steps softer, and keep you undetected to a limit. To decrease your chances of being seen, shoot out the lights with your gun. Be careful, as if there is an enemy is under that light they may see you shooting it out.
# Bypassing motion detectors

Before passing by a motion detector, pick up the body of a dead or unconscious guard. Then, proceed to walk past the motion detector. The motion detector should not go off, due to it seeing the guard on your shoulders, thus making you invisible to it.
# Find mines easily

In order to find mines in the camp mission, turn on the thermal vision.
# Whistling

To whistle, press R2. This will usually make a guard approach the sound. Note: Hide in a dark area and whistle, then jump the guard when he stops.
# Talking to teammate after losing in multi-player mode

When you are playing in an online match and lose all of your respawn lives, mute your teammate and then unmute him. Both of you can now communicate with each other.
# Level select

When you complete the game on the normal or hard difficulty setting, when you go back into the game make sure you go over towards the level select instead of checkpoints. You could lose your data and have to do it over again if the wrong choice is made.
# Defeating Norman Soth

After you have climbed up the elevator cables and have gotten on top of the other elevator, crawl through the hole in the wall. Norman Soth and two other mercenaries are on the top pathways. While in the hole, there will be one guard on the top path, slightly to the right. You should be able to shoot him in the head. Then, a timer will start and you will have one minute to kill Norman Soth and his other mercenary. When you shoot the first mercenary, drop out of the hole onto the first pathway. The second mercenary will go to exactly where the you shot the first mercenary. Shoot the second mercenary in the head. Note: The second guard will be aiming at the hole, so he will not see you if you drop out of the hole. The last person to kill is Normon Soth. Start running down the pathway and turn left on the second to last walkway on the left. Look up and turn on your thermal vision. You will see Normon Soth. Get a clear shot and shoot him in the head. After that you must retrieve the smallpox box from the top pathway. If you are on the second to last pathway on the left, go up the ladder. There will be another ladder; use it to climb up. Drop off the ledge onto the pathway. Run down the middle pathway to find the smallpox box.
# Capturing Suhadi Sadono

After killing off all of Sadono's guards, lure him into a dark corner then shoot him with a Ring Airfoil. Then, run up behind him and grab him. You can now force him to use the retinal scanner and complete the mission. Also, rather than picking off each one of the bodyguards, you can go to the right all the way around the room in the shadows. You should then reach the stage behind Sadono. Follow the curtain's shadow to Sadono. There will be a gap. Stand up and run until you see the "Grab Character" option appear. Grab him. You will be shot at and probably get hit, but once you grab him they will stop and you will hear someone say "Don't shoot, you might hurt Sadono". After that you are home free as they will not follow you.
# Programmer credits

In the Jerusalem mission, get to the part where you are following Dahlia Tal and can go up onto the roof and through an apartment to avoid being seen in the open area while she continues on. When you go through the apartment, you must sneak past two Israeli men watching television. If you zoom in on the television, you can see that it continuously scrolls a message in French from the development team thanking two people for their help with the game.
# Prince Of Persia references

On the mission when you are on the train, look in the second car where the guard is located. Knock him out then go behind the fenced door. Look down you will see a magazine featuring Prince Of Persia. Also on the third level when you are in Paris on the train, at the beginning there will be a room with an engineer. Knock him out. On the floor of the room is a Prince Of Persia strategy guide.
# Various references

On the first half of the Jerusalem level, there is a book store directly behind an alley with a swinging lamp. Next to it is another smaller alley with a swinging lamp. If you look inside the large window you can see many different picture references to The Punisher, Ubi Soft's XIII, an anime, and a picture of the infamous "Sniper Kitty" among many other things. Use the binoculars to get a much better look.

Path 3: Sanji Miro the Blacksmith

Shuyin walks across a bridge where he spots a hut. “Hmmm. Guess I’ll have to talk my way into residing here for the night.

“CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!” the sound of metal resonates through the area.

“Hello?!? Is presume that there is a blacksmith around?” An old man walks out. He looks Shuyin up and down.

“Whaddya want, botherin an old man. In my day, we knocked on people’s doors. Now who ye be?” the old man asks.

Shuyin looks at him odd. “Who ye be, huh. I am Shuyin and I am looking for a blacksmith.” He walks up to him. “Are you Sanji Miro, the Legendary Blacksmith?”

Sanji replies, “So what if I be. I don’t make swords anymore.” He fixes his eyes at Shuyin’s sword. “Unless you’re here for the spell.”

Shuyin looks stunned, “How’d you know.”

“I’ve seen my fair share of swordsman.” Sanji replies. “Come inside young one, come inside.”

They walk into the hut to the fire and brimstone of a blacksmith’s hut. Shuyin looks around, “So. You have had your fair share of swordfights. What made you quit?”

To the constant clanging of metal to metal, Sanji Miro begins speaking. “ I’ve seen my fair share of death and I’ve had my fair share of injuries. I quit because of the mental stress I was burdened with. The stress was immeasurable. You seem to like the fighting, but not the killing. That’s how I knew you wanted the spell.”

Shuyin replies, “But most swordsmen have some trigger incident that makes them abandon the Way of the Samurai.”

“Look young blood. Once a samurai. Always a samurai. Now I just explained that I quit because I couldn’t handle that lifestyle.” Sanji states

Shuyin looks away, “Oh” Sanji hand him his sword. “Thanks.” He hastily leaves the area in the middle of the night.

Sanji stands in his hut alone, “He’ll make a big difference in the world.”

**********************************
Bloodstains and Revenge covers two stories. 1. Shuyin as a killer on the run five years ago. 2. The present-day life struggles with his past.

Path 2: Misath the Lost One

Shuyin walks along a dirt path where he finds a person standing in the way, “Uh, are you okay? Hello?” The other person looks at him dazed.

“I am Misath. Leave, leave me to rest.” The person says. He resumes looking up in the sky.

Shuyin thinks, “Is it possible that he is a lingering spirit, clinging to this world?” He reaches out to touch the spirit but his hand passes straight through. “It is true. The Legend of Misath the Lost One is true.”

“Will you help me? There is something that I must attend to in this realm.” Misath asks. “I want to see someone. In Kudo Town.”

Shuyin studies him for a moment and nods in agreement. They walk down the path to Kudo Town. “ What exactly are you looking for. A building, person, picture. It is imperative that you supply me with more details. I have business of my own to attend to.”

Misath replies, “My son, I foresaw danger in his future. I need someone to help him and you are that person.” They look down alley after alley in search of his son.

“Down there. Someone is being attacked,” Misath again stands lost and Shuyin runs down the hill and stands there. “STOP!!!” Three guys dressed in black turn to face Shuyin.

“Misath?” the regular guy looks at the ghost. “Father? How is it that your spirit didn’t pass to another realm.” The three robbers attack Shuyin.

“HAHHHH!!!” the robbers shout as they run up towards Shuyin. Shuyin reaches to his sword.

“Drat, I locked it.” Shuyin declares. He knees the first guy hard in the stomach, uppercuts the second guy, and kicks the fat guy in the knee. Shuyin frees Misath’s son and Misath blindly wanders down the hill.

“Okubo, good luck in life,” Misath says as he disappears into the light.

“Father! Father! Come back!” Okubo hollers.

Bloodstains and Revenge Ch 1: A Cursed Path
Hey this an original story that I decided to make an open ended story for the fans. Come check out my otaku website for the full story. Just look for Shadowmatrix as the username.




Chapter 1: A Cursed Path

“Endless enemies, countless slain,” a bloodstained samurai stands amid the bodies of several slain fighters. The samurai leaves the site of the battle.

“There he is!” a general shouts as the samurai passes by. The samurai runs into the forest and escapes the pursuit of the army.

*****************************************************************************************

The samurai walks into the small town of Tsuyoku. “Hello! Hello!” he calls out. The townspeople look at him funny. A little girl walks up to him.

“Hi. I’m Saia, What’s your name?” the little girl asks as the samurai crouches down to her level.

“I’m Shuyin and I am looking for a place to eat. I have no money though.” the girl grabs his hand and leads him to a restaurant.

“This is my mother’s restaurant.” Saia says as she leads him in. “Mommy! I brought a customer!” Her mom rushes out to serve Shuyin.

“I am Maria, owner of the Tsuyoku Kitchen.” the lady says. “You look like you could us a hot bowl of rice.”

“Oh but I have no money.” Shuyin defensively declares. He stands up to leave.

“Tell ya what, this meal’s on the house.” Maria states. She goes back and gets a bowl of rice for him. Saia goes to the outside of the restaurant and Maria returns to confront him. “I told you to never come back.”

Shuyin looks up, “I’m on the run and I’m on a mission. I won’t linger long.”

“You had to go on that cursed path, a killing spree. For what?! Bloodstains and Revenge?” Maria shouts.

Shuyin puts his head down. “I’m sorry, I’m just sorry.” He gets out of his chair and leaves.

“Sorry? You’re sorry? All of the pain you put me through and all you can say is sorry?” she vents.

Shuyin looks her dead in the eyes with a deep look of remorse. “I am sorry.” He walks out and leaves Tsuyoku.

Outside of Tsuyoku, he realizes that Maria is right. “Maybe I am on a cursed path. I have to find a way to quit killing because the curse on this path is strong.” He locks his sword in his sheath.

****************************************************************************************
Framework: Can someone create 2 companion characters.
How does he atone for his sins.
Does he ever stop killing. Things on that line.
