Lesser Evils (steps 4-7) Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

(4) Examining Tindall's computer

In the first room you'll find only a newspaper, so go to the bedroom. Here search for an e-book and examine drawers. Before you interact with computer terminal (screen above) it would be good to set a mine at the apartment entrance or at least block the door to the bedroom with some boxes. Only then use a computer and read the second message.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Carefully reading the second message must be postponed, because an armed junkie will appear in the apartment. If you set explosives then he will die automatically. Otherwise you'll have to deal with him personally or bypass him using the camouflage. If you've fought him, examine his corpse - you'll find a PDA suggesting that Tindall was not able to deliver him Neuropozyne. Return to the computer terminal and read the correspondence with no rush. You'll learn that Tindall should be now in the gas station area.

(5) Meeting with Tindall

Leave the building (if you haven't used the gate before, enter the code 0002) and head south-east. You'll find Tindall according to previous directions north from the gas station you passed by before. He will be leaning on the container (screen above). Walk towards him and start the conversation. He will confirm the accusations on Neuropozyne theft, but add that he didn't do this for a profit but only for helping the poorest. Whether you approve this or raise your objection for such activities doesn't really matter. Tindal will promise to give you the video footage, but only if you help him and get rid of two dealers with which he has a bone to pick. You can accept it or refuse to do this.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Helping Tindal is fortunately not only option. If you have an augmentation to improve your conversations (Social Enhancer), you can activate pheromones at the end of conversation with Tindall (Z key) and select a personality type alpha (Calm down). It would result in getting the video footage. Another option is to eliminate Tindall, although I do not recommend killing him but only stun him (screen above). You could then search his body and take the video footage.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Warning! If you've promised to eliminate dealers then scroll down to the description of Step 6 (Neutralizing dealers), and if you already have the video footage then scroll down to the description of Step 7 (Giving back the video footage).

(6) Neutralizing dealers

In order to find dealers you have to head north again, choosing passages between buildings. After few moments you have to get to the basketball court (screen above). As you've probably noticed, you cannot talk to any of dealers, so you have to kill or stun them.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Depending on your preferences, you can defeat dealers in a direct combat #1 or from the distance. In the latter case I suggest using one of the surrounding staircases #2. Shooting from the distance lowers the chances of injuries (and being noticed if you're using the tranquilizer weapon). You do not have to examine dealers' corpses, but immediately return to the Tindall who will give you the video footage. Additionally you can offer him help in obtaining Neuropozyne legally, promising to contact him with one of the Sarif Industries employees.

Reward: 400 experience points.

(7) Giving back the video footage

You can give the video footage back right after obtaining it, regardless how you did it. Go east from the gas station, where you met Tindall and look around the area near the stairs leading to the railway station. Find Carella and give him a footage - you'll be rewarded with and upgrade - a laser targeting system.

Reward: 1000 experience points.
