Introduction | Confronting Eliza Cassan Deus Ex: HR Guide
Last update: 01 February 2017
This quest will be activated automatically after you fly to Canada in order to meet with Eliza Cassan, the news reporter staying at the Picus Communications building. IT takes place after finishing the last quest in Hengsha, that is Entering the Dragon's Lair. During your stay in Canada you won't receive any other quests, so reaching the final will take you quite some time. The initial part of the quest doesn't suggest any trouble, but you will have to start eliminating or sneaking behind enemies soon enough. I'd especially suggest making preparations for one of the defensive missions inside the elevator and for the last boss fight.
LIST OF QUEST OBJECTIVES:
1. PRIMARY - Go to room 404 - Quite surprisingly, you won't come across any enemies at start. It's worth to have an initial look at the room schedule, to make the further part of the mission easier.
2. PRIMARY - Escape the ambush by reaching a lower floor - You will receive this goal after you first conversation with Eliza. You can get out of the ambush by avoiding confrontation, or eliminating all the enemies. Regardless of the chosen method, you need to find a way to reach the fourth or third level of the building.
3. PRIMARY - Reach the funicular - The description isn't very clear, as you don't need to reach the funicular itself, but the stairs leading to the lowest level of the building. On your way you will of course come across better equipped enemies aided by a turret, so it's worth to plan your moves.
4. PRIMARY - Summon the funicular - Be cautious in the room with the funicular, as there's another turret there. Before calling in the train you should make some additional preparations, as pressing the button will cause a new enemy group to appear in the area.
5. PRIMARY - Wait for the funicular - Depending on the chosen gameplay style, you can quietly wait for the funicular to arrive, letting enemies fall into traps, or engage with them in open combat.
6. PRIMARY - Use the funicular to reach the sub-basement - You can enter the funicular only after it reaches the current level and receiving a confirmation from Pritchard. You have to wait some several dozen seconds for it to arrive.
7. PRIMARY - Get inside room 802-11 - Reaching the appointed room isn't easy. I'd suggest properly preparing before opening the last door, as you will have to fight a boss.
8. PRIMARY - Defeat the mercenary leader - The fight with Yelena is more demanding than the one with Barrett from Detroit, as the mercenary leader actively uses implants. Despite that, you shouldn't worry too much.
9. PRIMARY - Go to the chopper and extract - You shouldn't expect any complication here, though it's of course worth to check everywhere before leaving Canada.
