Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints
How can I get to the elevator unseen?
1 of 6: Go left from the area's entry doors to find three large movable crates.
2 of 6: They're blocking access to a vent shaft, and you'll want to carefully pick them up and drop them out of the way. (Note that it's best to drop them so that they're between you and the rest of the room.)
3 of 6: Enter the vent shaft and go to its other end, then wait and watch until the guard in the area beyond turns his back to you. Quickly open the vent cover and go hit him with a takedown move.
4 of 6: Loot him and the nearby supply room, then go up the ramp and through the door that's past it. Immediately take cover behind the nearby box stacks and watch for a patrolling guard.
5 of 6: After he walks off to the right, go around the boxes and into the area on the left. If you're fast enough, you can go through it and into the elevator without anyone seeing you. Otherwise, wait in cover mode in a spot where you can see the patrolling guard, and watch for your chance.
6 of 6: Use the control on the wall to the right of the elevator to open it, then get inside and use the control to the right of its open doors to get it going.
