Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

How can I move on from this room?

  • 1 of 8: You'll need to locate a hidden means of egress.
  • 2 of 8: Notice the two large crates against the wall, one stacked on top of the other.
  • 3 of 8: If you look at the wall next to them, you'll see there's a vent cover behind the top crate.
  • 4 of 8: If you move up to the vent cover and use it, it'll rise up. Time to do some good old-fashioned vent-crawling.
  • 5 of 8: However, you're going to need to get that top crate out of the way first.
  • 6 of 8: Move up to it and hit the "Action/Interact" key to pick it up, then rotate your view so you can use the same key to drop it somewhere out of the way. (Or press the "Fire Weapon" key to throw it hard.)
  • 7 of 8: You can then jump onto the other crate, crouch down, and enter the vent shaft.
  • 8 of 8: Follow it along until you come to another vent cover. Use it to raise it up, then go through it to enter another room.
