Deus Ex Hints

How do I track down the Smuggler?

  • 1 of 8: You will need the code from one of the Hell's Kitchen subquests.
  • 2 of 8: Talking to the bums in the Free Clinic.
  • 3 of 8: The entrance to the Smuggler's base is by the subway -- doors going downstairs.
  • 4 of 8: Use the intercom and give him the code "bloodshot".
  • 5 of 8: Use the lift.
  • 6 of 8: When in the base, deactivate the security field if you can.
  • 7 of 8: If not, just run past the bot -- once you encounter Smuggler, it won't attack you.
  • 8 of 8: Smuggler is in the last room.
