Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

Confront Zhao in the penthouse.

  • 1 of 6: Go through the door and turn right, then time your way past each of the four laser alert sections. (I found it easiest to do that while crouched down against the right wall.)
  • 2 of 6: Past the next door, turn right and go through the door at the end of the hall to enter an area with two soldiers and a security camera.
  • 3 of 6: In the next area, you'll need to avoid notice while getting to an elevator.
  • 4 of 6: As you ride that elevator, van Bruggen will contact you and give you 2000 credits if you gave him a gun earlier.
  • 5 of 6: After you exit the elevator, go across the huge penthouse floor, then go up the stairs until you reach the double doors that lead to the room that Zhao is in.
  • 6 of 6: Opening those doors will start a cut-scene, after which you'll get the next objective.
