(4) Peaceful solution: Retrieving the package from the shed Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Map legend: 1 - Main port gate; 2 -- Transformator with electric discharges; 3 - Hole blocked by crates; 4 - Guardroom with a terminal and a switch; 5 - Guardrooms with terminals; 6 - Descents to lower paths; 7 - Warehouse with tools and a first sniper; 8 - Main warehouse and a second sniper.

Before you start exploring the port, you should know a little about it. The area is of course patrolled by Belltower soldier, but more dangerous are security cameras, robots, defensive turret and snipers. First of the snipers is located on the tool shed roof and the second one patrols a balcony of the large warehouse, north from here. Except main port area, there are also two lower paths on sides, but there are also heavily guarded. You can also use a not too complex sewers' net.

Once you get into the port area, I suggest exploring a small building located near the main gate #1. There is a single guard inside, but you can eliminate him easily - just come close to one of the southern windows and use a paralyzing weapon.

Carefully enter the building, examine guard's body and find a PDA. interact now with a computer terminal, where the guard was sitting before #1. What's interesting, there are no security locks at all. You can use this computer in order to switch off security cameras and a defensive turret (you need the Turret Domination augmentation) #2. Additionally you can also hack into the right terminal. It has a second level security lock but you can use password collosus and read several messages.

There is same looking building north from here #1, but it is more difficult to get there, since you would have to bypass at least one guard on your way, and move skillfully from one cover to another in order to avoid enemy sniper. If, despite everything, you did it, enter the building. There are two well-secured computer terminals, but more important is the one to the left #2. It allows switching off two more security cameras and robots (if you haven't done so and you have the Robot Domination augmentation).

Whether you decided to visit both these buildings in order to disable local security systems or not, you must now focus on getting to the tool shed. It is located in the central part of this location and the easiest way to get there would be to use a camouflage (the Glass-Shield Cloaking System augmentation), which would allow you to easily get close to the building (screen above).

After using the camouflage, you can enter the building in two ways. The easiest way is to open the window shutter #1 and jump inside quickly. A more difficult option implies entering the building and bypassing the sleeping guard. In this case it would be necessary to hack a first security level electronic lock #2 in order to open the door leading to the southern room.

If your camouflage is not advanced enough, I suggest choosing an alternate route leading to the actual mission goal. Start at the port entrance gate and head west #1. Carefully approach previously mentioned lower path #1. You can get down by the stairs but jumping down is quicker. During this action, watch out for the security camera and a heavily armed guard patrolling this area.

Right after jumping down go under the stairs and look for an entrance to the air vent #1. Passing through this vent will allow you to get to the small room in the sewers. Use the switch there #2 - a poisonous gas will be removed from adjacent corridors (skip this step if you have the Implanted Rebreather augmentation).

Exit the room and carefully approach the central part of the sewers. You have to really watch out here, because the corridor is patrolled by a hostile robot #1. I do not recommend destroying it (with EMP grenade for example), because it may unnecessarily alarm enemies. Instead of that, hide and then follow robot's footsteps as soon as he starts moving north. Turn left at the first occasion, leading to the ladder #2.

Use that ladder and go up - note that you're inside the tool shed. Interact with a locker #1 marked by the game. You need to take out of it a Tong's explosive package #2. Tong himself will contact you after few moments, explaining that after settling all matters in the port, you should plant a bomb in administrator Wang's office.

Reward: 1000 experience points + 750 experience points for remaining unnoticed.
