Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

Prologue: Attack on Sarif Industries

  • 1 of 11: Optionally look around the room you start in for interactive items, then go up to the woman who's waiting by the door and talk to her.
  • 2 of 11: After the long (and unskippable) non-interactive sequence is over, you'll need to use David Sarif's private elevator.
  • 3 of 11: After the elevator stops, leave it and go down the hallway to find a jammed-open containment shield.
  • 4 of 11: Crouch down and go under it, then stand up and continue on until you reach a spot where you can watch an unknown enemy kill a couple of scientists.
  • 5 of 11: Just to the left of that is a flaming doorway you can go through to enter a room that looks like a dead end.
  • 6 of 11: Go through the doorway of the room you end up in, then move forward and down the box-clogged hall. On the left are some doors you can open to enter a room where you'll encounter two enemy soldiers.
  • 7 of 11: Past that room, go down the hall until you reach a spot where you have to jump over some boxes, then go down to where the hallway turns left.
  • 8 of 11: Crouch down and stay right as much as you can while moving down the hallway. Past the next set of doors are three soldiers that you'll want to get the drop on.
  • 9 of 11: Move down the hall and crouch-walk under another jammed-open containment shield, then wait for the next door to open.
  • 10 of 11: Past it is a large room that four enemy soldiers will enter from the other end.
  • 11 of 11: Leave the room through the door the soldiers blew open, then go down the hall until the prologue-ending cut-scenes start. (Does this game remind anyone else of the F.E.A.R. series, the Splinter Cell series, and Mass Effect 2, all rolled up into one?)
