Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

What's a good way to get down to floor -1?

  • 1 of 7: Near the guard you just took down is a ladder, but it's guarded by a fizzly laser security grid.
  • 2 of 7: You could time your way down the ladder so that the grid is off when you go past its two parts, but don't bother -- its security code is easy to get.
  • 3 of 7: Crouch-walk down the hallway past the ladder top until you can go through a door and turn right to see a guard lounging around.
  • 4 of 7: Stay right as you sneak up to him, then hit him with a takedown move and loot him to get a pocket secretary.
  • 5 of 7: Read it in the media logs menu to learn that the code is 9173, then go use it with the dedicated terminal that's near the ladder top.
  • 6 of 7: After climbing down the ladder, exit the ladder alcove and turn left, then go around a crate and through an open door.
  • 7 of 7: On the left is an elevator that you can use to descend to floor -1.
