(5) Crossing through the station Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Here you can also act in two basic ways. If you prefer aggressive option, then go towards the stairs and shoot at insane people (screen above). Do not move from here and wait for other enemies to come - kill them before they can get close to you.

You can get rid of civilians also not wasting any ammo. In order to do so, go downstairs to level 1 and look around in the western part of the hall, finding a computer terminal #1. It has fifth security level lock but you can enter a password lstforver. Activate a combat robot with this terminal (the Robot Domination augmentation needed) and wait until it kills all civilians #2.

If you prefer peaceful actions, you'll have to use air vents here. Head south and go down the western stairs #1 to level 1. Move carefully north #2, using pillars and other large objects as covers.

Locate a large crate in the western part of the hall #1 and move it a little (the Move/Throw Heavy Objects augmentation needed) in order to reveal an entrance to the air vent #2.

Go through the vent, which should lead you to the northern part of the hall #1. Move carefully east (jump between covers for example) and locate an entrance to another air vent on the eastern wall #2.

An exit from another vent is located in one of the storage room in the south-eastern part of the hall #1. Move west a little and note that there a stairs leading to the eastern balcony #2.

Before using the stairs make sure that an insane civilian who patrols an upper balcony doesn't look at your direction. Quickly go upstairs to level 2, turn right and use an entrance to another, third air vent #2.

Head now north, reaching the vent's exit located closest to current mission goal #1. Regardless of your previous actions (killing/stunning civilians or avoiding them), you need to get to the entrance of the previously inaccessible area #2.

Jump through the damaged shutter (if you still avoid insane civilians, you must hurry up) #1, so you'll find yourself in a small guard room. You can look into lockers here and interact with unsecured computer terminal #2. After that, use the door.

Head east now. On your way there you can consider exploring the northern locker room, but you'd have to stun or kill an insane civilian inside. After that action examine all interactive lockers #2, finding plasma capsules among other things.

Continue exploring this station level, heading east and the turning south. You might explore a side corridor on your way and use the Move/Throw Heavy Objects augmentation to move an automat blocking a passage #1. Once you get inside, move to the window and talk to Gerta Mueller #2. This is your last chance to make supplies, and my advice is to buy two Praxis kits offered in the store.

After shopping look around this room, finding an unsecured computer terminal, credits, an e-book and a PDA with a password, which will be helpful in the game end. Return to the main corridor now and go further south #2. On your way there you should hear a message from hiding William Taggart, who can be rescued after few moments. The same applies to David Sarif, who will ask you for help later.

Use the stairs now #1, moving east. Soon you should exit the building and reach balconies #2 occupied by other insane facility workers. Jump over a small obstacle and now plan your next steps. These are possible options:

• If you're going to get to William Taggart in order to talk to him, then read a description of Step 6 (Reaching the William Taggart's hideout). This is optional goal of this mission, but I strongly advise not to ignore it, because by meeting Taggart you'll unlock additional game ending.
• If you're going to get to David Sarif in order to talk to him, then read a description of Step 7 (Reaching the David Sarif's hideout). This is optional goal of this mission, but I strongly advise not to ignore it, because by meeting Sarif you'll unlock additional game ending.
• If you do not plan to meet neither Taggart nor Sarif, or you've already talked to them, then scroll down to a description of Step 8 (Reaching the broadcast center). Execution of actions described in this step is required in order to move the main plot forward.
