Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

Smash the State

  • 1 of 9: You'll get this quest from Nicholas in the convention center's lobby after you finish the "Finding Isaias Sandoval" mission's first objective.
  • 2 of 9: Nicholas gave you three places to search for Jacob White: the sewers, the metro tunnel, and the alley east of the police station.
  • 3 of 9: You have to go through the metro tunnel to reach the other two areas, so that's the one to do first.
  • 4 of 9: Go back down the street to the stairs that lead up to Central Station, then jump over the barrier again. Move through the station until you get credit for searching the metro tunnel.
  • 5 of 9: Exit the station at the other end, then go down the stairs and turn left to find a manhole cover behind an open fence gate.
  • 6 of 9: Jacob White is in the sewer area that the manhole leads to, so you can skip checking the alley east of the police station. However, going there will get you some extra XP.
  • 7 of 9: Climb down the ladder under the manhole, then go looking for Jacob White.
  • 8 of 9: After White's taken care of, go see if you can disable his bomb.
  • 9 of 9: Sneak back past the two turrets and exit the sewers the way you entered, then head back to the convention center's lobby and report success to Nicholas.
