How to unlock the Black Ops achievement in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Definitive Guide

Black Ops - 20G
Sneak through the lower camp without raising the alarm.

Without spoilers, this is obtained only if you sided with Iorveth at the end of Chapter One and during the second part of "Where is Triss Merigold" quest in Chapter Two where Phililppa guides you through the mist to Henselt's camp.

After Philippa guides you through you'll be stopped by Vernon Roche and have a small conversation. He'll tell you that there is a couple of routes in which to gain access into the camp, one through a brothel encampment which leads to a tunnel with monsters and the other is a path to the East along the shore in which you'll sneak through Henselt's camp. For this achievement, you'll want to take the path East and sneak through the camp.

Once finding your way to the camp you'll go into a "sneaking" stance like that of when you were in the La Valettes' dungeon. This is where you'll want to make a save as the achievement goes into effect here. I won't be going into step by step detail as it is pretty easy to do. The cardinal rules are to stay out of the line of sight of guards, stick to the shadows, and go slowly so you don't run into any guards that may be walking out of an entrance.

Near the end you'll come to a chef that is cooking in a cauldron that will notice you, when he does be sure to go up to him quickly and spam the A button as you'll be prompted to cast the Axii sign on him to calm him down and rest. Once that is over head towards the gate indicated by the marker on the minimap and wait till all the guards come out from it. Once you go through it there will be a lone guard outside the door looking through a spyglass, stun him with the X button and proceed down the hill path and into the tunnel entrance. This is where the achievement will pop if you didn't cause alarm.

If you mess up or get caught (going into battle mode) just restart from your last save. The chef part kept baffling me until I figured out I had to approach him and was able to reload a previous autosave. So the achievement is still attainable if you need to reload a save.

Achievements called Black Ops and is worth 20 GS
Not my video (leadexample) but good tutorial on how to obtain this achievement

You must be doing the Iorveth's path (Gave the sword at the end of chapter one to Iorveth)

Save before entering the camp
you don't get the achievement where the video cuts off but if you advance further to the cave that's when the achievement pops

Appears you beat me to this, but none the less. Just keep in mind if that you get seen and killed, don't worry, you can just keep trying over-and-over. It seems that you just need to get through the camp in one go. And if you do get seen you're pretty much done for.

Not really, it just loads back to the previous checkpoint :). So earning the achievement is rather easy. So there is no fear in being spotted or killed :).

You don't need to give the sword to Iorveth to choose him. You choose your side after beating Leto. You go see Roche or Iorveth and that's it! I just did both.

This is only on Iorveth's path of the game. Towards the end of chapter II, during the main quest line, you will be tasked with crossing the mist and infiltrating the Kaedwini camp. Roche will talk to you after you cross the mist and tell you about a couple of options for sneaking. Personally, I recommend going around the back of the camp so you can climb the rocks to show up close to the canteen. Describing what to do in text would only confuse you, but rest assured it's basic stealth. Below is a video detailing exactly what you need to do for achievement. Be sure to save when you feel it's necessary, but you are given checkpoints throughout to make it easier.
