Exit, Stage Left - main mission | Frequently asked questions Shadowrun: Hong Kong Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Objectives: Find the data incriminating Neville Ma, reach Neville's apartment, get to the party (optional), find valuable data (optional)
Useful skills: combat, Decking [1] + Cyberdeck, Charisma [4]; optionally Security etiquette
Difficulty: Easy
There are three approaches available:
- Go to the apartment and open it with the code: 1635,
- Hack the terminal and obtain the code
- Bribe the waiter.
It is wise to take someone who knows how to hack for the mission. Additionally, you should take some fighting characters. The mission is easy. You start it behind the hotel door on the restaurant level (M5,1). First, turn right to walk through the closed door behind which you will find a terminal (M5,2) (Decking [1]). After hacking it you will receive valuable data (Repulse Bay Hotel Expansion Plan) - sell them on BBS market for 350 yens; party pass and access code to the door (1635).
If you decided not to hack, you can obtain the code with some trickery - talk to the waiter standing in the restaurant. He will offer you the code for 500 yens if you start the conversation with talking about it (first dialogue option). If you have charisma [3], you can reduce the price by half.
You can also obtain the code if you have any Spellcasting or Conjuring skill developed that allows reading the used numbers from the keyboard. In that case you will only obtain the numbers, not the proper combination.
Once you reach the apartment floor, examine the closed door (M5,4). You can obtain the key by talking to Penelope Wong and selecting the first dialogue line or by talking with Neville (security etiquette is required) (see: side missions). If you don't intent to walk into the party, all you need to do is simply talk again with the waiter. He will tell you that the cook has the key. Now you can talk with the cook. You don't need any special skills to receive a pass from him. Now go back to the apartment, behind the door you will find another lock to open - this time you must use the terminal at the window (M5,5).
Behind the door you will be attacked by Ku Feng and his seven-person team. Whether you like it or not, you must fight them. The battle takes place in the garden. You won't have many options of positioning your men, but try to place them as far away as possible - half of your enemies are melee fighters. You don't have to worry about being surprised - they don't have powerful weapons or equipment (grenades, first aid kits). Ku Feng has the most health points, so you should eliminate him in the last order. However, if you take around 75% of his health, he will stop the battle... Once that happens, you can keep attacking (not recommended, it will impact the game ending) or interrogate her (you will finish the learn more about Neville friends mission). Then you can decide what to do with her.
Go back to the ground floor and leave the hotel. Then, go back to your employer in Heoi. For completing the quest you will receive 4 Karma points and 1100 yens.
