Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

How can I sneak through Operating Area 3?

  • 1 of 12: Open the doors and crouch-run straight forward so you can take cover next to a large desk.
  • 2 of 12: Edge over to its right end and cover-jump to the next desk, then edge over to where you can use the "Jump" key to round a couple of corners and get on some stairs.
  • 3 of 12: Stay in cover mode as you go up the stairs, then turn left and crouch-run over to where the walkway turns left.
  • 4 of 12: Go into cover mode at the corner and wait for the soldier who's patrolling back and forth to come down near you and stop.
  • 5 of 12: As soon as he turns around, crouch-run up to him and hit him with a takedown move. (Or if he caught a glimpse of you on your way up, wait for him to come over to where you can hit him while still in cover mode at the corner.)
  • 6 of 12: Grab his body and pull it back around the corner, then go into cover mode on the right side of his walkway.
  • 7 of 12: Edge over to where you can see down a side walkway, then wait for a soldier to come your way. When he stops, you can hit him with a takedown move.
  • 8 of 12: Go to the back of the main walkway, then turn right and go over to the top of some stairs.
  • 9 of 12: Go into cover mode against the stairs' left railing, then watch the soldier who patrols down near the security camera.
  • 10 of 12: When he's going toward the security camera, edge your way down to the bottom of the stairs, then make a quick crouch-run to the pillar ahead.
  • 11 of 12: Watch the soldier in cover mode until he stops near you. Right after he turns around, do a cover-jump to the wall support on the left, then crouch-run up to the next wall support.
  • 12 of 12: From there, it'll be easy to get past the camera and through the doors that are near it. (Do it quickly, or the solder will see you while on his way back to the camera.)
