Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints
Defeat the HYRON project.
1 of 9: The first thing to do is shoot out the three turrets that are on the rotating track that goes around the chamber's large central structure. (Note that if you brought a laser rifle, this step is skippable.)
2 of 9: Use a heavy rifle, plasma rifle, and/or rocket launcher for that, and stay next to the metal column you start out next to so you can duck into cover whenever necessary.
3 of 9: After they're all destroyed, quicksave, then find a way to kill Zhao.
4 of 9: You can greatly shortcut the process if you have a laser rifle with lots of ammo.
6 of 9: Actually, the above shortcut doesn't *require* you to have gotten the code from Darrow. It's always the same, and is given in the above question's hints.
7 of 9: If you don't want to use the code or hack the terminal, you'll have to find another way to screw up the three "human computers" that are housed in the chamber's central structure.
8 of 9: After all three "human computers" are dead, the glass shield protecting Zhao will crack, and you can shoot it out (though it'll take a lot of damage before shattering).
9 of 9: After the shield is gone, target Zhao directly until you get a cut-scene, then go through the opening in the back of her chamber to get the final objective.
