Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

How can I take these two soldiers out?

  • 1 of 9: If you have the "Reflex Booster" back augmentation, you can sneak up to takedown range and take them both down at once. Otherwise, read on.
  • 2 of 9: Go back up the last set of stairs, then turn left and enter the vent shaft.
  • 3 of 9: Only go a short way into it, then turn around and fire off one shot with a noisy weapon.
  • 4 of 9: Wait a few seconds, then go back down the last set of stairs while in cover mode next to the right wall.
  • 5 of 9: Wait and watch while the two soldiers go all the way down to the other end of the big east/west hallway and then move off to the right.
  • 6 of 9: As soon as they're gone from sight, crouch-run down the first hallway on the right. Take cover next to the box stack that's on the left side of the hallway and wait for one of the soldiers to get within takedown range.
  • 7 of 9: Quickly drag his body so that it's on the other (south) side of the boxes, then take cover behind the boxes.
  • 8 of 9: Watch back the way you came until you see the other soldier approach the stairs and then walk off to the right, then crouch-run back down the hallway and toward the fire extinguisher that's on the pillar ahead.
  • 9 of 9: Go into cover mode on the left side of the pillar so that you'll be able to take down the other soldier when he goes back toward the stairs again.
