Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

How can I sneak my way to the GPL device?

  • 1 of 10: Go down the passage to a door, then crouch down and look through the door's grille. If there's not a guard leaning against a cement block over to the left, wait until there is.
  • 2 of 10: Go through the door and up to the back of the cement block that's next to the guard who's sleeping in a chair, then wait until the other one starts walking away.
  • 3 of 10: Sneak up behind him and hit him with a takedown move, then optionally take down the sleeping guard, too.
  • 4 of 10: Go over to the room's west wall and quicksave in case you're seen, then peek around it. If it looks clear, move up to the large stack of black-wrapped crates and go into cover mode at its left end.
  • 5 of 10: Watch for a heavy-rifle-carrying guard to appear over to the left. After he turns around and walks off, edge your way around to the other side of the crate stack, and then down to a barred door.
  • 6 of 10: Turn left and take cover behind the black-wrapped crates ahead, then edge over to their right side. Watch the patrolling guard as you cover-jump over to the pillar, and then crouch-run up to the nearby wooden crate.
  • 7 of 10: Use cover mode to move from the crate to one couch, then another one. Go to the right end of the second couch and watch for a chance to run around behind the nearest car frame unseen.
  • 8 of 10: Cover-jump from that car frame to a concrete block, then go around behind the other car frames and move the cardboard boxes out of the wall hole.
  • 9 of 10: Go through the hole and over to a power generator, then turn right and go over to a door that's on the right.
  • 10 of 10: Opening it will get you a cut-scene and the next mission, which will be "You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours" if you have the "Explosive Mission Pack" DLC installed, and "Stowing Away" otherwise.
