(5) Aggressive solution: Summoning the funicular Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Before you decide to summon the funicular, it would be wise to plant some traps. Examine the area nearby the funicular to find a big weapon depot (screen above). Above all be sure to take each possible type of mines with you.

The recently gained mines should be placed beside the two main funicular room entrances #1 #2. Of course in both cases make sure not to detonate the charges prematurely.

You can additionally help yourself during the battle by hacking into the mentioned computer terminal #1 to take control over the turret (requires the Turret Domination augmentation) #2. Reprogram the turret so that it automatically attack your enemies. Summon the funicular.

Reward: 250 EXP.

I'd suggest you go to the upper balcony #1 and quietly wait for the new enemies to arrive. If you have placed mine and reprogrammed the turret, you probably won't even have to finish off anyone yourself. Otherwise, shoot the unsuspecting enemies #2 and don't let anyone reach the upper balcony.

Regardless of the decisions made thus far, you have to wait for a confirmation from Pritchard and enter the funicular after receiving it #1. Once inside, turn right and use the control panel #2.

Reward: 2750 EXP.

Notice! The description of further actions can be found in Step 6 (Reaching the main area of the basement).
