System Shock 2 Hints
Where are the brains for the psi reavers past the second sphincter?
1 of 5: All of them are in the same place.
2 of 5: There are psi reaver brains in holes surrounding the brain of The Many.
3 of 5: I recommend that you just run past the first few psi reavers you encounter once you get out of the pool. There's only one way you can head once you get out of the pool, and it leads straight to the brain.
4 of 5: The Photonic Redirection psi power (in tier 4) will let you stay invisible for long enough to get from the pool to the brain. If you don't have that skill and you're having a lot of trouble here, it might be worth restoring to get it -- I personally found that it makes this part of the game much easier.
5 of 5: Once you get to the brain, look to either side to find the holes with the psi reaver control structures. You'll lose your invisibility once you destroy them -- so it helps to wait until no one's near you before attacking. But you can even become invisible again once you've taken out one set of psi reaver brains to proceed to the next set.
