Corporate Warfare Deus Ex: HR Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Introduction
You'll obtain this quest automatically after conversation with Mengyao, if you decided to neutralize terrorists - this happens within a side quest A Matter of Discretion. This mission is quite short and not too complicated, but you have to watch out because you are not allowed to kill opponents. As a result you have to get stunning weapon or base on a melee combat.
LIST OF QUEST OBJECTIVES:
1. PRIMARY - Go to the meeting location - During your march to the meeting location watch out for Belltower soldiers and not go into in unnecessary fights.
2. PRIMARY - Incapacitate the terrorists - Remember that you can't kill your opponents there. You could eliminate all of them in a melee combat but you could also use any stunning weapon.
3. PRIMARY - Retrieve the datachip - A leader of terrorists has this datachip and you should examine his body of course.
4. PRIMARY - Return to Mengyao - There is an interesting fact. Namely you can blackmail Mengyao a little and try to get from her more information about the data stored on the chip.
(1) Going to the meeting location
The meeting place is located in the Kuaigan district, so you have to leave the currently explored Youzhao district. Once you get to adjacent district, go to the hotel Alice Garden #1 are (so east). I definitely suggest choosing upper balconies, and that's because it will be easier to sneak by enemies this way. You might also equip some stunning weapon, because killing any if terrorists will lead to mission's failure. You can start shooting at your enemies right now #2, but it would be very risky, especially that there are Belltower forces near the hotel entrance.
Reward: 100 experience points.
(2) Incapacitating the terrorists and retrieving the datachip
It is better to attack terrorists by a surprise and to do so, I suggest heading to the eastern stairs leading to lower level #1. You might remember this place from your first visit in Hengsha, because Ning was imprisoned here. Carefully move down the stairs to a very bottom #2.
A one of terrorists should patrol this corridor #1, so wait until he gets closer and the neutralize him. You might pull away his body towards the stairs. Now approach the main area. A next terrorist to be taken down is the one, who patrols this area on the left #2. But you have to do it in the moment, when his buddy visible in the distance goes to the right. Same as previously quickly try to pull away his body in some secluded place.
Now I suggest attacking third, previously mentioned terrorist #1, who moves constantly. After dealing with him, there should be only two more enemies left #2.
You could attack them with a stun weapon, but you would have to do it very smoothly and even if the battle starts, you couldn't use a firearm. Much easier option is to use then Multiple Take-Down augmentation, because it is enough to complete only one action #1. After stunning all terrorists, examine a body of their leader named Li, finding the datachip #2.
Reward: 850 experience points.
(3) Reporting back to Mengyao
Now you can return to giver of this quest. Mengyao didn't change her location, so you should look for her on the roof of one of buildings in the Youzhao district. Confirm that you've retrieved the chip (screen above).
Reward: 1000 experience points.
Now you can act in two ways (screen above). A simple option is to give her the chip and get 1000 credits. You can also decide to ask her about information on the datachip. Mengyao won't want to tell you anything but the game will allow you to use the Social Enhancer augmentations in order to activate pheromones (Z key). You should then choose a personality type Beta option. She'll tell you that this information concerns the Hyron Project connected with Panchea. You'll get then 1000 credits.
Now you can leave the place. After few moments Hugh Darrow will contact you and congratulate because of good job. What's interesting, the course of conversation with Darrow will differ depending on your knowledge about the Hyron Project.
