(4) Crossing through the tower Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Look around the command center where you were talking to Darrow - you'll find an e-book with complete speech #1 among other things. Return now to the damaged shutter #2 and listen to Pritchard's warnings. He'll inform you that after disengaging the lockdown, all hostile people, whose implants have been affected by Darrow's attack, are now free.

If you haven't disabled a defensive turret #1, make sure to destroy it now, or wait for a good moment to exit the command center. Otherwise, you do not have to worry about anything. What's more interesting, you do not have to go back same way, because you can just move ahead and jump over another damaged shutter #2, landing on the lower stairs. But this action is recommended only if you have the Icarus Landing System augmentation.

Resume exploring first floor, moving towards the elevator. If you do not have any problems with force solutions, then you can ruthlessly eliminate insane facility workers on your way, but you have to remember about two things. First of all, do not let them get close to you, because they are very effective in a melee combat and they can surround and kill you easily. Second thing - you'll get no experience points for eliminating hostile civilians and they do not have any valuable loot.

If you prefer peaceful option then you have to move slowly, monitoring actions of insane civilians. Worth noting is fact, that only few of them move, patrolling same corridors. The rest stands still and in most cases they look at walls, what will make avoiding them much easier. After reaching the first group of civilians, wait until one of them goes away and then choose a right door, passing through the canteen (screen above).

After reaching the elevator, wait again until previously mentioned civilian #1 goes north. Move towards the elevator #2. Quickly interact with control panel and wait until it takes you to the hall, which you've already explored.
