Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hints

What's the best way to use the leg augmentation to take them all down?

  • 1 of 15: Start by jumping onto the container that's just to the left of the open container. Turn left and go to the back of that container, then quicksave before jumping onto the next container.
  • 2 of 15: Right after you do, crouch down, move across it, and drop down into a little niche area that's between a container and a metal beam's base. If you're seen by a soldier or turret, quickrestore and try again after waiting a few seconds.
  • 3 of 15: Once you make it, quicksave again, then move out of the niche and go left. Once again, quickrestore and wait a bit if you're seen. (Note that the nearest soldier and turret are visible on the radar, so you can use it to help decide when to move.)
  • 4 of 15: Jump over a stasis pod, then take cover behind the large yellowish machine. Move to its left end and look around the corner to see a ladder that you need to climb, but don't approach it yet.
  • 5 of 15: Wait for a soldier to appear near the ladder and look your way, then peek out briefly or stand up and run around a bit to get his attention. If he doesn't come after you, wait until he comes around again.
  • 6 of 15: Climb the ladder, then crouch down and go over to the next ladder. Climb most of the way up it, then wait if necessary for the heavy rifle dude to walk over to a spot near the top of the ladder.
  • 7 of 15: After he starts walking away, finish climbing the ladder, then crouch-run over to a spot that's behind the heavy rifle dude and against the wall. You don't want to take him down until he walks back over to a spot near the top of the ladder.
  • 8 of 15: You're going after Burke himself next. He's in the room directly beneath you, and there are two ways to enter it. One is to drop down through the square hole near the back of the roof, and the other is to climb back down the ladder and lure Burke out by opening the door. (Note that the door's code is on a pocket secretary that the heavy rifle dude has on him.)
  • 9 of 15: Taking Burke down deactivated the turret and blew up the huge robot, so now all you have to do is finish off three more soldiers. Get back onto the roof of Burke's room, then go to the side opposite the ladder.
  • 10 of 15: Stand up and jump onto the large yellow beams, then crouch down and quicksave. Move up to where you can see a section of the snipers' walkway, then wait for the nearest sniper to start walking away from you. (If you can't see him at all, he may be inside the enclosed structure. If so, wait for him to return to the walkway.)
  • 11 of 15: Quickly run down to where you can drop down near him, then hit him with a takedown move before he can turn and see you. If he detects you at any point, quickrestore and try again.
  • 12 of 15: Go into cover mode against the railing, then go as far right as you can. Make sure the other sniper isn't looking your way, then quickly crouch-run into the enclosed structure.
  • 13 of 15: Keep left as you go through the structure, then go into cover mode to the left of its other doorway. Watch for the sniper to appear and then start walking off to the left, then quickly crouch-run after him and take him down.
  • 14 of 15: That only leaves one soldier down on the floor, who's patrolling back and forth beneath the first sniper's walkway section. You could pick up the second sniper's rifle and use it to snipe him down with, or you could try to sneak up to him for a takedown move.
  • 15 of 15: To do that, go over to the far end of the first sniper's walkway to find the top of a ladder. Stop there and watch your radar. Wait until the arrow representing the soldier stops near you, then turns around and starts going "down." That's when you need to climb down the ladder and crouch-run after him. (If you can't catch up to him in time, hide on the other side of a storage container and wait for a chance to get behind him.)
