(4) Peaceful solution: Getting into the Harvesters' hideout Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Map legend: 1 - Main entrance to the Harvesters' hideout; 2 - Descent to the sewers.

In order to get to the place, where a signal is transmitted from, you have to get to the Harvesters' hideout and this can be done in two main ways. A far better option is to go there through the sewers. A descent to the sewers can be located in the western part of the Youzhao district, near the apartment building #1 #2.

Map legend: 1 - Start point after getting down to the sewers; 2 - Ladders leading to the northern part of the sewers; 3 - Entrance to the Harvesters' hideout.

After getting to the sewers, you'll be forced to choose a path. You can stay in the western part of the sewers #1, or you can go to the eastern part of this location #2. In both cases you'll find ladders leading to the lower level.

If you chose the western sewers' tunnel, you'll meet four opponents and two of them will stand closer to you that others #1. Wait until one of Harvesters goes to the right and eliminate his colleague. Pull away his body and take care of another soldier #2.

Next two enemies stand close to each other #1, so the best idea is to bypass them. The only exception is situation when you can use the Multiple Take-Down augmentation and neutralize them both with single attack #2.

If you chose the eastern sewers' tunnel, you'll meet two opponents and you have to watch out for the one, who comes from the west. It would be good to eliminate them one by one #1 #2, afterwards pulling away their bodies to some secluded place.

An alternative way to go through the sewers is to activate your camouflage (the Glass-Shield Cloaking System augmentation) #1, but of course only if you have enough batteries and rest often. Whichever method you choose, you need to get to the exit from the sewers located in the northern part of this location #2. It leads to the lowest level -2 of the Harvesters' hideout.

It is much more difficult to reach the main entrance to the Harvesters' hideout. If you try to enter their territory from the east #1 or from the south #2, you will be stopped and turned back. Any attempt to walk past the guards will result in attack on you.

I do not recommend stunning enemies, because their fields of sight intersect so often, that it would be almost impossible to do it. The only way is to use a camouflage (the Glass-Shield Cloaking System augmentation) in order to get to the door #1. But this is not over, because you would have to hack a first level security lock very fast #2. If, despite everything, you've overcome all adversity, the exploration of Harvesters' hideout will start on the level 1.
