(4) Find information on Sandoval's whereabouts Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Notice! The actions described in this section refer to the situation in which you don't want to meet with Taggart or the meeting ended with failure. If you however were able to get information on Sandoval's hideout from Taggart, you can skip to Step 5 (Get out of the Convention Center).

Map legend: 1 - Meeting Hall entrance; 2 - The place where you talk with Taggart or find the terminal; 3 - Guarded zone entrance; 4 - Backroom passage; 5 - Ventilation shaft entrance; 6 - Staircase door.

The mission objective is reaching the computer in the south room, which of course can be achieved in a few different ways. If you prefer using force, you should attack the nearby guards. You can eliminate them using in melee combat #1 or ordinary weapons #2.

It's a good idea to take place by the main passage leading to the backstage #1, as that way you could easily eliminate the incoming guards. You should however decide on it only after securing the other corridors, so that no one can attack you by surprise. After the fight I'd suggest checking the guards' bodies to find a palmtop with a code (3754). Now you can head to the place marked by the game #2.

If you plan on using camouflage, you of course need to have the Cloaking System augmentation and thinks about choosing a good starting point. If you haven't spoken with Taggart, it would be better to choose the door east of the conference hall, guarded by one of the guards #1. If on the other hand you have spoken with Taggart and it ended with a failure, you can use the passage at the back of the hall #2.

Regardless of the chosen path, it would be good to stock on batteries as you probably won't be able to stop anywhere. Your objective is finding the southern room with a few guards #1. Carefully pass through the room, reaching the marked spot #2 (remember that you can use the 3754 code if needed).

The best solution is going through the ventilation shafts. It will let you avoid any confrontations and reaching the goal won't take much time. The shaft entrance can be found in the men toilet #1. Once inside, push aside the cardboard boxes covering the lid #2.

The ventilation shaft has many ramifications and it's best to just keep going south. You will know the proper tunnel by the presence of a few holes, allowing to see what's going on in the rooms below #1. Your goal is to reach the shaft exit found above the room #2. I'd suggest carefully jumping out of the shaft so that you don't alarm the nearby people.

Regardless of the chosen method, you need to reach the southern room. There, search for an Ebook and a level 4 computer terminal. The more important one is however the terminal on the left (screen above), with level 1 security. Hack into the system, thanks to which you will learn Sandoval's whereabouts.

Reward: 750 EXP + 250 EXP for staying undetected.

Before you leave this place, you should be contacted by Sarif. He will suggest planting incriminating evidence on Taggart's computer. You can either agree #1 or refuse to do so. If you agree, you just need to interact with the left computer terminal again #2 and Jensen will automatically do the rest.

Reward: 750 EXP.
