Talion A.D. (steps 1-3) Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Introduction

A chance to fulfill this task will appear during your second exploration of Hengsha. It is best to complete this quest before you go to Harvesters' hideout, during the main quest Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device. Otherwise you could forget about this mission and move to docks, thus blocking a possibility of completing side quests. In order to activate this mission, you have to go to an L.I.M.B. clinic located in the northern part of Kuaigan district and the best moment to do this is during your shopping in the clinic or during installation of new biochip. The quest itself is not very long, but in its end you might be forced to fight a group of well equipped and using augmentations mercenaries.

LIST OF QUEST OBJECTIVES:

1. PRIMARY - Locate the butcher shop where Zelazny is hiding - You should have no problems with reaching the shop, but the game doesn't help you with it. So I suggest reading below description carefully.

2. PRIMARY - Enter the back room of the butcher shop - This is very easy task, which can be completed in few seconds.

3. PRIMARY - Find information on Zelazny's current whereabouts - The only key item in this hideout is a PDA left at agent's corpse.

4. PRIMARY - Read the dead agent's pocket secretary - In order to read the contents of PDA you have to open your journal.

5. PRIMARY - Locate Mike Zelazny and his Team - The main difficulty is fact, that you have return to Kuaigan district, because the mercenaries' hideout can't be found in sewers below Youzhao district. What's more, you must use an entrance to sewers located near the capsule hotel, because this is a separate part of sewers.

6. PRIMARY - Deal with Zelazny and his team - Depending on your preferences, the entire situation can be solved without bloodshed or with defeating mercenaries in direct fight.

7. PRIMARY - Return to Dr. Wing - This goal is activated regardless of whether you attacked mercenaries or you talked to Zelazny.

(1) Talking to Dr. Wing

As a reminder, the L.I.M.B. clinic is located in the north part of Kuaigan district, on first level #1. Once you get inside the clinic building, go to the main room and look for Dr. Wing #2 in order to talk to him.

Your reaction to the doctor's statement on fact, that Jensen is wanted by Belltower forces, do not matter at all, because he doesn't want to betray you. Instead of this, Wing has a mission for you. Your task would be to stop a group of dangerous soldiers lead by Michael Zelazny, which is equipped with highly advanced, experimental implants. You can refuse to take this mission or agree to complete it, getting additional information on wanted special group members, who are now apparently working on their own and are responsible for death of at least one official. Wing will indicate a back room of the butcher shop in Youzhao district as a probable location of mercenaries.

(2) Finding Zelazny's hideout in the butcher shop

Map legend: 1 - Closed gate; 2 - Passage from the Kuaigan district; 3 - Descent from the roof; 4 - Entrance to the back room of the butcher shop.

In order to find the butcher shop, you have to go to the adjacent district (Youzhao) first, and the best option is to use subway #1. Once you're in the destination place, explore an area south of the Hengsha Court Gardens building (the northern part of the district), finding a small alley leading south #2.

A local gate should be open, but even if not, just hack a simple, first security level electronic lock #1. Optionally you might choose a passage from Kuaigan district leading directly to the "fenced" area or reach this place from level 3, punching through 2 walls along your way (the Punch Through Wall augmentation needed) #2.

After getting to small square, head the shop marked by the game #1. Ignore a person standing there, because you won't be able to start a rightful conversation. Instead of that, choose a side passage #2 and then use a stairs leading to the basement.

Reward: 200 experience points.

(3) Exploring Zelazny's hideout in the butcher shop

Once you get downstairs, I suggest first of all breaking into a safe #1, which has only first security level lock. You should find credits inside. Now examine man's corpse #2, getting a PDA.

Reward: 100 experience points.

Open your journal and read contents of PDA obtained few moments ago (screen above). It will let you determine, that probable mercenaries' hideout is located in sewers system.

Reward: 100 experience points.
