Trivia

• When entering the teahouse, a guard complains about the noisy floorboards. Another guard replies that it's a nightingale floor that is used to detect ninjas. While the first guard disagrees, the second guard says that in 2004, he was assigned to protect an oil rig, where he and his team were attacked by a ninja. This is a reference to the GFO Oil Rig mission in the very first Splinter Cell game, and the "ninja" who attacked the guard was actually Sam Fisher himself.
• This is the first mission to feature lots of candles. However, shooting the candles will prevent guards from relighting them since the A.I. is not programmed to pick them up once they are on the floor.
• If the player did not uncover Milan Nedich's real identity in the previous mission, Sam will be tasked with the objective of scanning two car's license plates with EEV.
• A banana can be found in one of the toilets.
• If Sam finds all the hidden microphone bugs, a conversation between him and Grim will reveal that Lambert has multiple ex-wives.
• If Sam rushes into the teahouse where Shetland is about to murder Zherkezhi, Shetland will kill Zherkezhi by a headshot rather than cut him with the samurai sword.
• If Sam doesen't kill Nedich in the central palace, he will reappear in the front courtyard after Shetland kills Zherkezhi.
• This is the only mission without a Bonus Objective in the game.
