(4) Aggressive 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.

There are total of six enemies down in the sewers and you can eliminate them in any way. The best of course is to shoot them while using covers (screen above). Additionally, after you start the fight, you can go back to the upper balconies, so enemies won't be able to surround you.

Continue fighting until all enemies are dead. Now head north #1. You need to get to the door located in the northern part of this location #2. It leads to the lowest level -2 of the Harvesters' hideout.

A second option is to use the main entrance to the Harvesters' hideout. If your plan is to attack them in a standard way, then begin elimination from one of the two guards guarding an entrance to the area controlled by Harvesters #1, and then start shooting at other enemies #2.

During fights here it is necessary to hide behind the walls or another covers #1 and control enemies actions - you can't get surprised by then and you should avoid grenades thrown by them #2.

A much safer than fighting on the lowest level is getting to the roof on one of the surrounding buildings - a one where Mengyao resides for example. It will allow you to attack your opponents from above #1. If you prefer such solution, then equip any of sniper weapons #2, because in order to use standard weapons you would have to use much ammo to win this battle.

Regardless of the way you fought the battle, you need to approach the main entrance to the Harvesters' hideout #1. The mage will force you to hack a first security level lock #2, but this shouldn't be a big problem, especially that no one disturbs you. Entering the door will start exploration of Harvesters' hideout on the level 1.
