Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

Locate the mercenary leader.

  • 1 of 10: After the long elevator ride is over, you'll need to get up to the upper-floor walkways.
  • 2 of 10: Your next goal is to make it to the room on the south side of the upper-floor walkways.
  • 3 of 10: Check the room for Nuke virus software and stun gun darts, then go through its south door. Note that a guard may see the door being opened, so quickly go down the steps and through the next doors to avoid being seen.
  • 4 of 10: Go down some stairs and turn right to find a spot where a large piece of glass is missing. You can go that way to get a rocket launcher, or you can skip it and continue down the walkway until you come to more red double doors.
  • 5 of 10: Past the red double doors, look on the right for a computer that you can hack to open the nearby door and shut off the security camera in the room past it. Check the room for some useful things, including rocket ammo.
  • 6 of 10: Check the ammo case under the computer in the next room, then figure out how to get to the doors near the SW corner of the large area beyond.
  • 7 of 10: Go down all the stairs, then go through some doors. Turn right and go into cover mode behind the stack of brown boxes so you can watch the security camera that's ahead.
  • 8 of 10: When the camera is fully turned away from you, run to a spot underneath it, then turn right and go down the hallway until you reach an elevator. (TIP: Check the two rooms near the elevator to find a hypostim and some painkillers.)
  • 9 of 10: Use the elevator to get to a dark area, then move into it to get the lights to come on.
  • 10 of 10: Move through it until you reach some red double doors, then quicksave. Opening those doors will finish this objective and get you the next one.
