(3) Reaching the cryo-sterilization room Deus Ex: HR Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
If you've ignored cries for help from a TYM employee, then you'll have to go north and then turn east #1 and south. If you've rescued the scientist and talked to him, then you should leave Chemical Storage A3 and travel south. In both cases your current destination will be a small room with a few people inside #2.
An attempt to enter the room will trigger a conversation with a guard named Kim. There are four ways how this conversation can end:
- Intimidation - I don't recommend this option unless you don't mind starting a battle with Kim and other guards.
- Bluff - This isn't a good option either, because Kim would only allow you to remain close to the room you're currently standing in. Any attempt to leave the room to get to the cryo-sterilization area would result in him attacking Jensen, so you would have to neutralize him soon after the conversation or avoid being seen him in the future.
- Bribe - 500 credits shouldn't be a big expenditure for you, especially if you've been collecting money from various sources and selling items. This is the best choice if you didn't rescue the scientist.
- Mentioning Lee (the TYM employee rescued from the gas room) - This is by far the best choice, because Kim will grant you access to the entire facility and you won't have to give him any credits.
There are a few things you should know about the choice made during the conversation with Kim. If you've initiated a fight with Kim #1 you should consider quickly defeating him in melee combat, so you'll have plenty of time to prepare before other guards show up in this area. If you've tried bluffing Kim and he allowed you only to stay here, then Kim will attack you if he sees you trying to use the stairs leading to the main area of the factory #2. Choosing bribe or mentioning Lee will grant you full access, but raising an alarm in the meantime will force Kim to switch sides and to join the group hostile towards Jensen. This means he'll have to be neutralized along with the rest of the guards.
