It's over! The walkthrough is done. Of course, feedback is very much welcomed. Here it goes:
This walkthrough was writen using the latest version of TNM; 1.0.3. It is HIGHLY advised to update to this version before playing The Nameless Mod. Issues, exploits and glitches still present in the current version that should be noted to avoid or can be exploited are mentioned in this walkthrough, however any issues or exploits present in previous versions will not be mentioned.
This walkthrough will run through the game on the normal difficulty (Challenging). As such, items and monsters that may be added or removed because of other difficulties might go unmentioned in this walkthrough, however I do my best to mention any changes to to more special items like Spidergrenade Ammo or Vortex Grenades.
The Walkthrough:
1.1.0 Phasmatis Apartment.
After creating your Trestkon (I go for Electronics, Lockpicking and Computer) and watching the intro, listen to the PM from Phasmatis and then talk to the receptionist, Shawn. Walk inside his office and take the key and soda and notice the shaft, but not go in there yet.
Back in the lobby you can look at the Technology today mag to get a picture of the manned camera added to your datavault. Now move up to the fourth level (do stop by the others and move left and right though
).
Go right, and in the end open the door to the storage room to grab some prod chargers, a screwdriver and some chemicals that can be used for Molotov cocktails. Now move back and enter Phasmatis apartment. Speak to him (what options you choose do not matter, however you can get alot of additional info by keeping talking) to get a safe keycode, his login and several goals.
Move left and check his mail using the password provided (
Phasmatis/Antithieus) for some background info. Just for fun try using the Radish 3000 repeatingly, or turn off the TV. You can also listen to some Deus Ex music here, but not much more else to do.
Move to the kitchen in the opposite room for some more consumables, rice bag ammo and chemicals.
Move back in the hallway and to the end toward three doors. The left one leads to the bathroom, where you can find a medikit above the sink in the cupboard. To the right you can find Phas' bedroom, where you can find a biocell and 10mm ammo in the closet, and a knife under the pillow. Use the answering device to hear what you already heard before in the intro. Move over to the safe and use the code (
3467) to gain your first
Augmentation Canister (Combat Strength/Microfibal Muscle)! You'll have to spend quite some time before finding a medbot to install it though, so you might want to pick it up later. The third door (note the light switch next to it!) will lead you into a closet. Break the little cardboard box, only present on the lowest 2 item difficulties, to find the Riot Prod.
We're done for the apartment now, so let's head back to level 1 with the elevator.
During the ride you get a PM from Scara B. King, and later King Kashue follows with a counteroffer. Don't worry about it for now, that's a matter for later. Move out the front door.
1.2.0 Making 1000 credits, without missions.
GLITCH: Some times people get a PM from Scara B. King right at this point offering them an alternative way to get a Subway pass. This is caused by money gained from older saves being retained even if you started a new game. This can be a good way to skip the getting 1000 credits stuff if you're bored of downtown or want to rush the game.
Welcome to downtown Forum City. Soon after exiting Phasmatis will send you a PM with a new goal, which is achieving 1000 credits for a monthly subway pass. There are 6 missions in this area, 4 designed specifically to give you alot of credits, but it is perfectly possible to acumulate 1000 credits without doing any of them. Scrolled beneath (1.2.1 to 1.2.6) are the missions individually listed in this area. For now we go exploring the area. We're already going to asume you have possession of the 100 credits in Phasmatis Apartment (see 1.2.1, jimmycracker's painting), so 900 credits to go...
Overhear the chatty couple (or interrupt them), then move to the left, up the stairs. Overhear the thugs, then kill or knock them down for some 10mm ammo (do not worry, the Firewalls will not mind).
Move across the river (ignore the boat for now) and talk to the snack vendor Whoever. You can buy snacks from him, but it's better to knock him down to gain another 100 credits. Be wary of the firewalls this time though! You can find some more consumables on his stand.
Past the lion statue to your left is the Fan Fic shop. Here you can have loooong conversations with Chris the Cynic, walton simons and read the fanfics Twist and Unknown Motives. Also, you find jimmycracker here (1.2.1) and find a Prod charger on a table if you missed the one in Phasmatis apartment (or play on higher item difficulties).
Across the bookshop is a coffeestore. Break the window (beware the Firewalls again) and enter. Loot for coffee (coffee restores both bio-energy and health instead of just health like other consumables), bars, a PS20, some darts, a gas grenade, the keys for this store and for another coffee shop, and 170 credits.
Exit and note the Llama Temple (1.2.2).
Go to the right of the Lion statue (West) and move towards the little dock. Jump in the water and move towards the car wreck in the water for
40 Skill Points, some flares, 2 lockpicks and a reload weapon mod. You cannot get out of the water here, so swim under the walkways (past the body of 1.2.5) and look for a ladder near the opposite dock (again, ignore the boat).
Move back over the walkways over the water, and proceed to the west (do not go down the stairs). Keep hugging the wall, into the alley to find some thrasbags and containers with a spiderbot behind it. Use EMP grenades or LAMs on it if you have them, otherwise return later. Your reward is a medkit, sabot shells and a recoil weapon mod.
Now move back out of the alley, and move further West (towards the Firewalls), and do not jump down. Hug the wall to move up the tunnel where the firewalls guard. To your left you will find some matrix boxes, a lolcat, and a huge datacube (containing your base code). Do NOT shoot the datacube (unless you wish to test what that does
).
This is the second
Narcissus Event in the game. You'll have to find 3 of these to unlock a secret ending.
Move back and jump down the tunnel, and move to the n00bz. Ignore them (they are for mission 1.2.3), but loot their locker for a lockpick (break the box), some darts, consumables and more chemicals.
Move further south and notice the building with the goat billboard. It will play a role in 2 other quests, 1.2.2 and 1.2.5.
Follow the road...
Notice the castle to your left. Enter it for a Pistol and a pepper cartridge.
Exit and proceed east until you find a restaurant. Walk around it to find a metal crate. Take it, place it under a window, then break that window and use it to enter. Be aware that no firewalls are around. You can find a prod charger, pepper cartridge and the key on the counter. Behind the counter you can find another 90 credits.
Get out, move back to the road and to the flashing "Sol's Bar and Grille" sign. Walk through the door beneath it.
Talk to Jackie, then proceed inside, the first person you'll see is Kunio Kun. Ignore him for now (1.2.4). Go right and you'll trigger a cutscene between Kylie and ZeroPresence. This is your very first opportunity to kill them during the game. Zero wont have his special Sniperrifle with him though, but Kylie got her special Assault Rifle, one of the best weapons in the game. However note that killing ANYONE inside Sol's bar will get it locked up, so consider carefully if it is worth the risk!
Also, both of them have a large role in the WorldCorp storyline that you will miss then.
Note: If you do start killing people, make sure to kill/knock down Kunio Kun and get his aug upgrades before the bar locks down!
Second note: Kylie cannot be knocked unconscious. You HAVE to kill her to get the Assault Rifle!
HIDDEN CONTENT: There is a little "secret" conversation here with Kylie that you cannot normally trigger in the game. Use ~ to open the cheat menu and type "Legend", then select "Edit Flags". Now add the flag "Allied_WC" and have it set to true. Talk to Kylie. Be sure to remove the flag after talking to her!
Talk to Kylie. Wheter you are nice to her here affects the WorldCorp storyline later.
You can talk to the Spaceman or embarassed man on the toilet for some fun conversations, then break the mirror in the dance room (use your fists! Drawn weapons will make people hostile!) for
Easter Egg #5.
Move to the bar to trigger a convo with Alpha Operator. You can buy some food for him, or ask for background information. The quotes game cannot yet be done at this stage of the game. Also, be aware if you pick up items around him. Too many times he notices and he will turn hostile! You can avoid this by doing the stealing during one of his banter lines, since this prevents his stealing lines from playing. Grab all the goodies, then move in the kitchen for a pepper cartridge and a lockpick.
Ignore the closed door, and move up. Listen to the businessman, then jump down. While this does some damage, it will cause Jackie to run to the bar.
Return to the entrance and pick that door there (if Jackie is there it would have sounded the alarm. Also do not break the glass, as it sounds the alarm), it takes less lockpicks than the door next to Alpha and contains the key to that door. Alternatively you can go outside and go in through the backside freezer door, but the door in the alley is unpickable and has 100% strength so needs explosives, this solution is the easiest.
So go to the door next to Alpha and open it. The first right will take you to a storage area, loot it! The second leads to the lockers. AO's and Jackie's lockers are closed, but they carry the keys on their person, so you can kill or knock them down for them (knocking them down has sideeffects for the second day though!). If you want a free subway pass that would be the way to go, if not pick Jackie's locker, and use the LAM in it to blow up Alpha's if you don't want to use another lockpick.
Further down the hall is the freezer (Alpha has the key, and there is one inside there if you enter from the back) and Alpha's offices. The key to the office is in Alpha's locker, which takes less lockpicks to pick.
In his offices you find your first multitool, and the very handy Alpha's Service Pistol hangs on the display on the wall. Take it. Hack Alpha's computer for a code, and imput it (
115) in the keypad next to the painting for 300 credits. Only 270 more to go!
Exit the bar and move west. Ignore SymGeosis, and notice the door to the alleyway and back entrance of Sol's. Overhear some citizens and move down the stairs and keep going forwards.
Go through the alley, then move east until you find more chatty people. Notice the door behind them, lockpick it (watch out for the firewall).
Go inside, up the stairs and take the first door to your left. Entering gives you
40 Skill Points. Go behind the counter, pick up the consumables and use the key you found in the other coffeeshop on the safe to find 2 credit notes of 220 and 130 credits. By now Phasmatis will contact you that you have enough money, which will get you
1000 Skill Points.
Go back outside and move further east. When you can go no further go south. Don't fall down. Now look up, and you'll see a ledge with some barrels. There lies
Easter Egg #2. It's high up, so you might want to wait until you have a Speed Enhancement maxed out.
Proceed to Phasmatis Apartment and go down the subway station to buy a ticket if you want to, or read on to get even more credits... and even a free subwaypass! We'll move to the next area in section 2.0.0.
1.2.1 jimmycracker's painting
You can find jimmycracker north of Phasmatis' apartment, in the Fan Fic shop. He's downstairs. Accept his mission, then move back to Phas apartment and enter it. Enter the shaft behind Shawn. Move left for the paiting itself or go right and up the stairs to take down some guards (if they see you Shawn's speach will change). Upstairs is nothing, but there is a tranquilizer mine in the guard shack, and each guard has a key to that shack. Also, taking them down disables the cameras in the building, which helps sneaking down.
Move down and open the door, and take down the security guard. To your left are some chemicals, a medkit and 10mm ammo, aside from a box of TNT. On the right are lockpicks in carboard boxes.
Further down to the right you can find 2 scrambler grenades and 100 credits in a cardboard box.
Further down to the left is the paiting and also a repairbot, but it is guarded by a spiderbot. Using the scrambler grenades will make the spiderbot turn on the repairbot, so probably the most efficient tactic is using the TNT to blow up the spiderbot and the repairbot. Recover the paiting and notice the wall has been blown apart. You have found
Easter Egg #1 and the Phasmatis Shrine.
This is the first
Narcissus Event in the game. You'll have to find 3 of these to unlock a secret ending.
NOTE: You have to actually enter the room for the event to get added, simply seeing the shrine is not enough!
Return to jimmycracker with the painting for 350 credits.
1.2.2 The Llama Hostage
Go to the most Northern part of the map, and you'll find the Llama temple, guarded by Abomination. Now go to the complete other side of the map, past the firewalls and n00bz, where you notice a building with a Goat billboard. Walk up the ramp there.
On higher NPC difficulties there are actually Goats with shotguns here, but on the lower they just use foons. Note that they are highlighted green on your IFF, and sneaking behind them is very efficient.
BUG: Notice an interesting bug here. Even if you throw away the throwing foons, you still keep that exact amount in your ammo storage. So if you pick up one foon, you get [Old ammo amount]+1 foon. This way you can easily max out your ammo without carrying any around, unlike throwing knives. Same happens with sporks. Now if they weren't completely useless...
Keep sneaking around and you'll overhear a Templar and a goat worshipper. Sneak up them and knock them down/kill them. The Templar carries around a sword.
Carry back the unconscious Llama worshipper (make sure he doesn't die!) to Abomination to get 380 credits.
1.2.3 The Firewalls and the N00Bz
From Phasmatis apartment, move west to the Firewalls blockade. Talk to the firewall agent in brown to start this mission. To the south of his position you find the n00bz.
You can either talk to them, or just go on a rampage and kill/knock them all out for the firewall. While you get contacted that you HAVE to kill all n00bz members, knocking down all 7 does do the trick, but the game acts like you killed them. This is probably a bug.
Go further down the road and into the Castle to find Master_Kale. He's equiped with a crossbow, so is a nasty fighter. However, you are free to knock him down or kill him without talking, making it much easier if you planned these routes. If you killed or knocked down all the n00bz, Trestkon will threatnen him, and you can either pick letting him life or killing him/knocking him down (both work). If you spoke to the n00bz, or ignored them (or not killed/knocked all down) you get 3 options. The first makes Kale hostile, the second makes all the n00bz leave, and the third, together with the question of how long Kale is on Forumplanet, makes for a nice option to tell the n00bz about their false leader. You can also use this to get them to leave properly.
If you killed Kale either get the reward (n00bz already gone), or go back to the n00bz to threatnen them/kill them.
If you knocked down Kale either get the reward, dragging his body to the Firewalls (n00bz already gone), or drag his body to the firewalls, then go back to the n00bz to threatnen them/kill them.
If you know about Kale's lying, you can tell his gang this, and they'll also leave. After this you still have to knock down or kill Kale though before you can get your reward.
Whatever you choose to do, getting rid of the gang wields you 500 credits (or 1000 using below exploit).
NOTE: Nothing prevents you from knocking down Master_Kale after the mission is done. This will give you the very useful mini-crossbow!
EXPLOIT: You can get this missions' reward twice by knocking down or killing the 7 members of the n00bz gang, then knocking down Master_Kale and delivering his body to the firewall without actually getting the mission first. After getting the reward, find a quiet place (or the firewalls will get upset) and kill Master_Kale. Now return for 500 additional credits. An easy 1000 credits for a subwaypass.
1.2.4 SymGeosis' disk
Go back to Sol's Bar and talk to Kunio Kun in the corner. First refuse the mission to haggle the prices further down, and then accept it. Declining it once again means you can never complete it, so don't do that!
Exit the Bar, then walk left to find SymGeosis. You can talk to him to get some information about an expiriment Scara is doing. Then knock him down, or kill him. Take the floppy disk he carries.
You'll get 375 credits,
200 Skill Points and a nice discount on his wares of 2
Augmentation Upgrade Canisters and a
Aqualung/Environmental Resistance Augmentation Upgrade Canister (you can only buy these after getting a subwaypass).
Note that killing or knocking down SymGeosis before getting the mission will prevent you from haggling down the price of the aug canister down to 1000, and bringing the floppy disk to Kunio during your very first conversation will NOT give you the 375 credits mentioned.
1.2.5 The Secret Stash
In the little canals, just between the 2 bridges you can find the body of a board guest in the water, together with a medkit and a datapad. Find it to get
40 Skill Points and read the datapad to get a goalupdate.
Exit the water and go Southwest, past the firewall blockade and the n00bz, and to the building with the goat billboard. Next to that building are some containers and small thrashbags. Drag a container to the ledge to the south, and drag another next to it. Now pick up a small thrashbag and drop it on the container. Drop another just before the container. Jump from the thrasbag to the container, then pick up the thrashbag and throw it onto the ledge. Jump on the other thrasbag and jump up to the ledge yourself. Now pull up a container to the ledge, and do it all again until you reach the top, where you can find some thrashbags lying there. Wreck them for
60 Skill Points, 10mm ammo, 2 stealth pistols, a gas grenade, a lockpick and a pepper cartridge.
1.2.6 The free subwaypass
After getting 1500 credits, and still not having bought a subwaypass, Scara will contact you. He will tell you about an opportunity to get a free subwaypass. It is noteworthy that not doing this will net you more credits later on in the game than the money you save now, but it's good if you want many credits early on to spend, or just want to show WorldCorp your qualities already
.
Go to Phasmatis apartment and enter. After the PM talk to Shawn to get the password to the laptop behind him. Use that (
NVSTemp/Superfluous), submit your HUD codes and then play the message.
If you already killed or knocked down Alpha Operator and looted him it will notice that, and you can immediately go and get a free subwaypass. Otherwise it's up to Sol's bar if you want to proceed with it...
BUG: Be sure to stand straight infront of the laptop when using it. While it can be frobbed from the shaft, the trigger for the conversation doesn't reach that far, and you're stuck without the mission, forced to buy a subwaypass.
If you crouch behind Alpha and hit him with the Riot Prod in the ass, you can take him down without anyone noticing (and turning hostile on you). Loot his body for some keys (his locker, the door besides him, and the freezer in the back) and NVS' program. Don't frob him twice, picking up his body will definitely be noticed and turn Kylie and Jackie to attack you.
Go outside (NVS will PM you, he will sound quite troubled if you killed AO) and back to Phasmatis apartment to upload the program ((
NVSTemp/Superfluous)). After that just go outside, into the subwaystation and frob the machine for a free subwaypass.
2.0.0 The Slums
Since everyone is so eager for you to go to the Corporate District... we first go and explore the Slums, also known as the West Residence District.
Buy/get a ticket and take the train on the right. The subwaypass mission closes if you had it (and you get a PM from NVS). However, you can still complete or innitiate it, even if there is no good reason to do so. Most likely a bug.
NOTE/BUG: Before you leave the Downtown district, finish the n00bz and Llama hostage missions if you want them done, as they will fail and are unavailable upon returning to the Downtown district. The others (except the free subwaypass) can be done at any time. Note however that the closing of the n00bz mission is bugged in 1.0.3, and the mission will remain stuck in your goals.
There is one large mission here (see also 2.0.1), and you get the opportunity to obtain some of the best Melee weapons of the game here, the Dragon's Tooth Sword and Digital Ronin's Katana.
Move out of the station and go right, overhear the convo of the guy and the cat. Follow the road to find Yardbomb's voodoo shop. Here you get the mission. Enter and overhear the convo between Yardbomb and the WorldCorp accountant. Look behind the counter for some tranq darts and a medkit hidden behind some books. Talk to Yardbomb. When he asks your advise, telling him to sell will close the shop for you on the second day. Telling him to stay independant will have it open on the second day for you too.
Go to the back to find some blowdart ammo in the supply crate. Behind the locked door are only some throwing knives, so save your lockpicks. Move back to the begin of the shop.
Walk through the extra-dimensional hallway and go right, frob the book for a hint, then talk to the flying head and the skull. Pick up the darts and biocell and proceed down the hall.
You'll notice a door to your left. You have to see it to start the mission. Proceed down the hall.
Here you'll find the Katana and the blowpipe, both excellent weapons. Notice that this is only place in the game meta-knowledge will not help. Already knowing the codes without buying them, then inputting them will still trigger an alarm to go off and make Yardbomb hostile. Also, you can break the glass and take them, but this will also trigger the alarm. Fall down and talk to Yardbomb to start his mission. Also, you can buy one of the items if you wish (probably only if you got the free subwaypass).
Digital Ronin's Katana is perfect for destroying doors, especially when combined with Combat Strength. Saves you lockpicks or explosives.
Digital Ronin's Katana code:
02173. Blowdarts code:
31397.
Proceed outside, and go left. Go left again, and notice the waterdrain next to the Firewall. Climb on it, it works like a ladder. On top, carefully move over the cord to the other side. Enter the apartment (beware the hostile dog!) for
100 Skill Points. Search the apartment for a few consumables, some throwing knives, and the EMP gloves! Now carefully crawl back down the way you came.
Go through the door to your left and talk to Errol, the bum.
To your left are the bums and only some wine bottles, so move up. Carefully approach and disarm the LAM, then take it. There is another one around the corner.
Notice the boarded up door to your left. The lower side is darker, break it with a melee weapon then crouch inside to find some sabot rounds and 10mm ammo, along with a datapad holding augmentation information on some important characters.
Sneak back to the other door to overhear a convo of some thugs. Take them down and search their hide-out for
40 Skill Points, a LAM and 235 credits.
Go back outside and proceed towards the metrostation again. At the ATM you can plunder Trestkon's account (
905279/2049) to get 500 credits.
Across the boarded up door notice a vent in the floor. Lockpick it, then fall down. Crawl up, use the ladder to get off the roof and look behind the dumpster to the left for 32 credits. There is nothing behind the locked door, save your lockpicks. Move up the other ladders, all the way to the top to find some Lollerskates and a datapad with a picture. Move back to the street again and proceed to the metrostation.
Go past it. Notice the ramp on the right, it's required for the mission. The doors on the left lead to the alley with the lollerskates, ignore them. Overhear the conversation between the guys, then move left.
The female junkie has 100 credits on her. You may think about taking it from here. Proceed through the opening with the "Caution" sign.
The Karkian is friendly, so ignore him and drop down to get
40 Skill Points. Find a prop charger, 2 biocells, flare darts and a hazmat suit, and don't forget the key!
Move down the stairs and break the boxes for a medkit. Proceed all the way up, and exit. Walk through the alley, and keep moving forward to find Glottis. He sells you an
Augmentation Upgrade Canister for 1000 credits, the Dragon's Tooth sword for 1500 credits, and clip weapon mod, recoil weapon mod and reload weapon mod for 500 credits each. Get the sword (the aug upgrade is only useful later). Note that you cannot knock him down or kill him for the items, you have to buy them.
Now all that remains is Yardbomb's mission, and it is off to the Corporate District!
(We'll leave the DXI excevation for later, although do once try to get behind the grating at the helipad this soon, and the mechanic will accuse you of cheating...)
2.0.1 FedEx for Yardbomb
In Yarbomb's voodoo shop see the green door, then ask Yardbomb about it. He'll give you the mission to fetch several items for him, all located in the Slums district. Get out the shop and keep moving forward to the Firewall checkpoint. Next to them, and a little down are 2 locked doors. Because they require more lockpicks, I advise using LAM's to blow them up. This may cause the firewalls to turn hostile on you though. Don't throw the LAM near Wilbur and friend, or their response will definitely turn them hostile. The best tactic is throwing it infront of the firewalls, and they will run off. Do not follow them, as that will make them hostile too! Once they return they should remain friendly.
Go inside and move left for some dart ammo and wine. Move to the second carwreck to find a dead bum. Loot his corpse for a peppergun (many people seem to miss this)!
Go towards the well-lit area to find Nosferatu. Conversation automatically starts, so prepare to defend yourself! He regenerates, so take him down quickly!
Jaeder wrote: The PDX Large bot is hostile to Nosferatu. So it's easy to just lure him to there, then take cover until the firewalls take care of him.
NOTE: It is *much* easier to do this if you get to him before getting the mission. Since he will not turn hostile, simply get behind him then and knock him down/kill him, and take his fangs.
After taking his fangs, loot the room for flare darts and 10mm ammo.
Go back outside and go towards the metrostation.
Move up the ramp to your right. Go into the second window for some napalm ammo, then proceed to the third floor. Do not cross the lasers! It is perfectly possible to pick up one of the crates without going through them. Drop it in the adjacent room, break it and pick up an uranium bar (1 is enough). Go back outside and down.
Past the citizens, go to the right and keep walking straight ahead. You'll find a dog that's hostile to you. Kill it to find the rabit dog blood.
Turn around and move forward until you find the 2 junkies and the friendly dog. Proceed down the "Caution" signed stairway. The Karkian is tough, so either hit him fast and often with the Dragon's Tooth Sword, or blow him away with a LAM. Pick up the Karkian snot it drops (you may have to gib the body to find it if you killed it with the sword).
Now proceed back to Yardbomb to give him all the items and gain the key to the teleporter room and
200 Skill Points (you could have just killed or knocked him down for the key without doing the mission, but that wont give the skill point award).
3.0.0 Corporate District
NOTE: Even if you want to work for WorldCorp, it is highly advisable to visit PDX before doing the siding mission with Silver Dragon. In this walkthrough we will first talk to King Kashue, then Scara. Aside from a few PM's and conversations, there isn't a difference between that and talking to Scara first.
After Scara's rant, Phasmatis will comment on your how you solved the n00bz mission (if you did). Go to the other station and talk to the geeky-looking guy to get a "map" (*ahum*) of the District.
Exit the station and turn around.
INFINITE CREDITS EXPLOIT: There appears to be an interesting bug concerning ATM's in TNM. Whenever you do a leveltransition and go back, the ATM's are restored and refilled, so you can infinitely loot Trestkon's account, gaining 500 creds each time. However account in a single area are linked, so if you have looted an account in one area, you cannot do so in another terminal in the same area until a leveltransition.
Walk towards the police lights (you can find a PS20 on the bench) to find the old bombed PDX HQ. You can overhear some citizens talking about it. In the alley to the left you can find a bum who is willing to sell you some information on who kidnapped DD.
Move back and down the street to the left to find GItM, where PDX now resides. Press the button, then enter.
Go left to overhear a funny conversation, then proceed down the hall to get a PM from Despot. Talk to Krissy and keep going left, until you find a door with "Jonas" next to it. Break the locked doors for a tranq mine and some biocells, then pick up the chemicals.
Go back out and go left from the reception until you hit a door saying "Armoury". Enter.
Go left and talk to Winquman. If you dealt with the n00bz without killing anyone (Note that knocking down the 7 n00bz is considered killing them by the game) you get some .45 ammo as reward. Read the note, then login to his PC. While the note says both his login and pass are lund_stinks, that's only his password. The actual login is
Winquman/Lund_Stinks. You'll find some ATM info in one of his mails (
326877/9006). This account contains 140 credits.
Proceed down the hallway, through the little garden, then take the first door to your left.
On the right, talk to Evil Invasion and grab a EMP grenade.
On the left, open the drawers for more .45 ammo.
Left forward, get some tranq darts.
In the middle, use the medbot to heal yourself if needed, and install the augmentation from Phasmatis safe.
Use the elevator to go up a level. Go through the door infront of you and right. Pick up some flamedarts, then go outside the door to the South and go down the stairs. Move right.
Talk to Ghandaiah, and choose the Boob Suit option to get
200 Skill Points and a bunch of sporks.
Pick up the flamethrower canister, and get a gas grenade from Despot's apartment. Proceed back to the hallway and keep moving forwards until you meet King Kashue.
Talk to him and pick the compensation option to get 500 credits. Talk some more, pick up the key from his desk and the LAM on the table. Proceed further, and in the male bathroom pick up the lockpick and frob the Conspicuous Toilet Paper to find
Easter Egg #7! In the holoroom get some ricebag ammo.
Go back, and up the first stairs, then enter the conference room on your left for a PS20. Exit PDX HQ.
To your left, find a bench with Scara's advertisement. Behind it, next to a small metal crate, is a door. Blow it open to reveal
Easter Egg #3 and concept art for Deus Ex 3!
BUG: If you updated to 1.0.3 from 1.0.1 you'll only find oddly weird looking textures on the wall, not the concept art!
To the right you can find Gelo the security guard to have a chat with (opposite the WC HQ prominently in the middle). Even further to the right you can overhear a conversation between two WC employees. However nothing useful to you is said. To the left you find Raving's Weapon shop. Enter it.
3.1.0 Raving's Weapon Shop
You can buy some weaponry at any of the lockers in the middle by using the reader, that substracts credits. But you can also steal it by using multitools on these readers. Doing this is supposed to trigger the alarm, and gunturrets should appear out of the roof, but this never happens. Just don't hack the Stealth Pistols, since Andreus can see those. It is never needed to buy weaponry, but it's nice to have if you really want a specific weapon quickly.
EXPLOIT: Some of the weapons have a faulty collision, and can be picked up out of their locker without paying or hacking by just selecting them. All 3 LAW's can be stolen this way simply by standing behind the locker. A Ballistic armor, thermoptic camo and assault shotgun can be stolen by jumping on the locker.
To the left you notice a grate behind the plant, move the plant and open it. Crouch inside, use your pepperspray on the lowest laser to prevent it from triggering the alarm as you pass by. Pick up 2 napalm launcher ammo, 20mm HE ammo, a multitool, the key for the room and the Stun gloves! While these gloves are extremely powerful, they require you to spend a lot of skill points in the First skill to use. Not worth it in my opinion. Notice the security console. Exit the room and you'll run into Raving Nutter.
Talking to him gives you a goal and an image. You cannot do anything with that goal until you picked a side though. You can knock him down or kill him for the key to the door you just came from and another storage door that also has a workaround. Knocking him prevents you from getting a nice little extra on day two during your second or more game, so it might be best to leave him be.
Pick up some darts from the throphy cabin and from the dartboard, then go outside.
Raving Nutter has the key to the door to your left, but for now ignore it. The door infront of you lead to Andreus' room. Look under the desk for a multitool, and take a PHAT-ray canister from the bookstand. Hack his PC for a login (
RavingSecSys/Lethal_Force) for the security console in the room next to Raving. It can disable the security, but as mentioned it never goes off in the first place, and disabling it makes Raving hostile to you the second day. So overall, not a good idea. Go down and take the second, metalic looking door.
Go right immediately, and then to the second last. Use your keys on it (you got the key for it during the start of the game!) to get one of the best weapons in the game; Trestkon's Pistols, some ammo for it, 2 biocells and an EMP grenade. Also opening your locker gives you
50 Skill Points.
There are several lockers with goodies here. All of them not having INF lock strength contain items. A single wellplaced LAM will open all doors, saving you your lockpicks. Collect all the goodies (blow darts, 3 gas grenades, 225 credits, some flares and 10mm ammo).
Go back out and into the main store area. Notice the vending machines. Here you can find useful ammo and items (check all of them to see what they sell). Move left to the firing range to find some more 10mm ammo.
Walk behind the counter with Andreus to find 2 tranq mines, .45 ammo and quad rockets.
Press the down button, jump onto the elevator, then press up to get behind the upstairs storage door's room. Not much to find here though, just a gas mask and an electricity box controlling the lasers in the shaft (the ones we bypassed with the pepper gun). Go back down and talk to Andreus.
Even if you already looted your locker you still talk about it. Andreus offers a Napalm Launcher for 1000 credits. Not the most useful weapon, but certainly a nice tool for heavy-weapon players. Otherwise ignore it. Talk to Andreus again (decline the offer) to get the option to modify Trestkon's Pistols with silencers for 1500 credits. While that may seem much, note that in the vending machine silencers for one weapon are 1000 credits, so it's really, really cheap. Also, you get some free .45 ammo with the deal.
Since this is the only way to obtain silencers for these guns definitely do not knock down or kill Andreus before getting them. Afterwards, he is free game if you want to save yourself 1000 credits on the Napalm Launcher. Raving Nutter wont be happy though, and he wont sell you his special weapon then. Go back outside.
3.2.0 The Corporate District, Part II
Follow the road. At the crossing, go left. Notice the brownish building to your left? Either cheat (ghost & walk), or grenadeclimb on top of it to find... King Kashue! This is a reference to Max Chen being found on top a building in the Hong Kong level in Deus Ex.
This is the third
Narcissus Event in the game. You'll have to find 3 of these to unlock a secret ending.
NOTE: You have to hear the "Max Chen" line, otherwise the event is not added.
Either carefully jump down (massive damage), or just cheat your way back to the ground level. If you rather not cheat, there are 4 other ways for the hidden ending that are easier to get.
Proceed down the road and note the PartyZone to the left. We'll enter there later, remember the location! Talk to Sheldon Pacotti (Who changes names to simply Sheldon oddly enough after interaction) for some banter, and then to the pretty girl. Be nice (read: Do not pick the high-res option) to her and you can ask some questions about the PartyZone. Notice the phone boot ahead? That's the teleporter to Yardbomb's Voodoo transportation system for the Corporate District. Go right. Notice the stairs on the left, leading to apparently nowhere? Use them to jump to the ledge ahead. Walking a bit further you find a metal box and a ladder leading into the WorldCorp compound. Also remember these for later!
For now, move to the bench with the PartyZone advertisement. Move to the bot to find the Quick Shop. Enter it to overhear a convo between Steve Tack and Hammer & Sickle. Do not touch the pickles! It will turn Hammer hostile, and this will most likely also trigger the Large bot to attack you.
You can open the safe behind him for 200 credits and a biocell, but again, it will turn Hammer & Sickle hostile. Knock him down beforehand if you think about doing it.
Open the storage room on the wall, and take the lockpick from behind the blue soda-looking screen.
Overhear the convo between NVS and A2 and pick up any consumable you like.
Talk to NVS. If you finished his mission in the Downtown District he'll thank you. You can talk some more to NVS to get background information, and he mentions a very interesting weapon, the EMP pistol.
Talk to A2. If you haven't talked to NVS you can only say goodbye. One or twice and you have the option to convince A2 to kill NVS. 3 times and you can convince A2 to be nicer to NVS. Ignoring all options or having A2 be nicer doesn't have any gameplay impacts, however the killing certainly does
.
Read the datapad next to NVS. You can log in his laptop with the pass given (
NVSHacker/1225nvs) for some additional background info.
Time to enter the PartyZone.
3.3.0 The PartyZone
NOTE: Remember to holster your weapon here, besides for the basement.
NOTE: Like Sol's Bar, the PartyZone locks down if you kill a single person inside.
Meet Dreamcast and Lo Vaquero the bouncers. Move past the aquarium onto the dancefloor. Notice the sailor. He's having some trouble with opening doors (DX AI bug), so open them for him. Now talk to Grub. He'll give you a mission to retrieve some red biocells in the basement. Frob him 3 times to get a note about the bartender selling EMP grenades.
Ayjazz wrote: You can talk to the two female Dancing Patrons for some additional funny conversations if intoxicated (drunk)
Hopefully the sailor went through the doors by now. If not, and he seems to wander about, frob him to make him get on his way again. Get through the doors yourself as well.
Overhear the businessman while the sailor goes his way. Follow him into the toilets (oddly enough he can open that door). If he notices you at the sink and goes back downside, frob him again to turn him around. Once you're both at the toilets (notice his different lines) knock him down, then loot his body.
Explore the woman's restroom's sinks for a lockpick.
Move further up, under the aquarium. Here you will find 4 musicians. They are actually the people who made the amazing TNM soundtrack.
Go through the door behind them and then the left door. Pick up the key and go through the next two doors. Pick up an EMP Charger, Plasma clip, Lollerskates and a key you already possessed.
Go back outside and left, than through the first door on your left. Here's Mercedes, the owner of the club. Search her desk for a biocell, than talk to her.
You can ask her some general information, info about the band if you overheard them, and tell about Grub's mission. If you do that before completing it you get some keycode information (
72789), after completing it it's just some banter.
Go back downstairs and forwards from the dancefloor to the bar. Overhear the two businessman, then pick up the cigarettes infront of them.
Talk to the scientists Teknikal and Majestic, overhear the convo's between equiverse and pointman. Talk to pointman and give him the just picked up cigarettes for another account (
599428/6647). This account contains 260 credits.
Talk to Dazza. If you refuse his drink the convo ends, but accept it and you can ask some questions.
At the bar you find Gabriel, justanotherfan and Deuxhero. Steal too much items here and Gabriel turns hostile, along with the bouncers. A bad deal for the items present to steal.
BUG: justanotherfan is supposed to spasm and do all kind of weird animations during his "drink", however no effects where displayed for me using 1.0.3...
Talk to Gabriel about the EMP grenades. He offers one for sale for 500 credits! You really shouldn't do this. Going to Raving's isn't that much trouble, yet it can grant you 2 EMP grenades for that price, and you'll keep 100 credits over to boot!
Go through the door behind him and break open the glitchy looking box. You just found
Easter Egg #6! Don't forget to pick up some pepper spray in the kitchen, then head back to the entrance.
Open the basement door and move down. You can take on the bot, or hide behind the boxes to the left. At the end you'll find a grate. It's rather weak, and you can use the Dragon's Tooth sword to break it down.
Pick up a LAM from the desk, and use your keys to open the safe for the first biocell. Open the door on the right and break the supply crate for the second biocell.
Use the other door and use the given code (
72789) to shut down the lasers. Wait till the bot has passed to the right, then quickly go left and pick up the third cell under the stair. Move back in the office, crawl back to the vent and return to Grub. You'll get a
300 Skill Point Award and another
200 Skill Point Award all at once.
NOTE: If you already picked up Jonas' Red Biocell you might notice some oddities here. After finding all 3 red biocells it displays you as having 3 Biocells (while you should have 4). However giving Grub the cells will return it back to 1 cell, so none are actually lost...
Move back up to the musicians, and go to the door past them and then right. Look under the desk for the keypad (it's pitch black) and insert the given code (
90210) for tranq darts, 10mm ammo, 2 medkits and 2 weapon mods (clip and recoil).
Get out of the PartyZone.
3.4.0 Going back Downtown
Time to wrap up some stuff downtown. Take the metro, then move up the stairs. Notice the boat I kept telling you to ignore? Jump in the water and swim to it. There's a ladder on the right side, go up.
Use the key you got of the sailor in the PartyZone to open the door to the steering cabin and take 2 LAMs and some shotgun shells. Use the button to open the storage room below (or just use your key again on the smaller doors).
Down there break the crates for some more shotgun ammo and .45 ammo. Also another key (to use if you lockpicked your way down there, or used the big storage door). Stand on the barrels and jump to get out. Go to Sol's Bar.
You'll find a new patron; the conspicuous person here now. He's a gambler, and you can try your luck for bucks, but you probably wont have much luck. Still, with loads of saves and loading (and patience) you can always make a good buck, but then you might aswell cheat yourself the money...
Next up is Alpha's Quotes game. Some good money to make here. The answers:
Movies: Red Dwarf, The Naked Gun 2 1/2, The Rock, The Matrix, The Fifth Element, Men in Black, The Quest for the Holy Grail, The Mummy, James Bond: Golden Eye.
Games: Max Payne, Half-Life, Star Craft, Might and Magic VI, Red Faction, Deus Ex, Shadows of the Empire, Death Rally, Diablo.
Time to go back to the Corporate District. Use the teleporter next to the restaurant, straight across from Sol's to get quickly near your next objective.
3.5.0 A little bit of WorldCorp
Remember the shaft to WC from 3.2.0? Go in there now.
Soon after you enter you'll get a
50 Skill Points award. Crawl up the ladder to the highest opening. Follow the path and once you exit to some offices crawl left to find tech goggles, a multitool and a lockpick. Fall down (may take some tries).
Since you haven't picked a side, all people are friendly here (even if you aren't supposed to be there). You can abuse this by knocking all of them down to make "sneaking" much easier later (if you pick the PlanetDeusEx side).
BUG/WARNING: Be careful about doing this though. Make sure you either only do so after you heard Sam got fired, or be extra careful not to be seen and no alarms go off. If you fail in doing all these, when entering the office of Mr. Clark block Sam's path, forcing him closer to Mr. Clark, initiating the conversation after all. If you let him run off and dissapear, Mr. Clark can no longer initiate conversation with you EVER... which can be a real setback if you decide to play the WorldCorp game.
Don't go into the hall, but move further down. Here you'll find Sam being fired by Mr. Clark. Talk to Sam. If you offer him a job at Raving's stop by Raving Nutter later. Scrounge the room for a biocell and 150 credits. Move back to the hallway. On your left you will see the "Data Storage". Be careful! Even if all other cameras on this level are still friendly, this on is hostile to you, always! It can spot you through the door, and sound an alarm making the guards attack you.
Proceed down the hallway to your right. Accounting is on your right. The first office has 400 credits in the locked drawer, the second features a biocell. On the lowest item difficulty one of them also holds the storage room key.
There is more to do on this level, however it is more profitable to do that after taking a side.
Proceed to lvl 4 (using the stairs). Go through the door on your right. Talk to Scara to get his offer.
You can use his computer, and a password (
SBKing/layoff-mania) gotten from the sublevel (see section 3.7.2) to open his secret sidedoor with a special option not available if you hack his PC. This is a legit way for PDX players to gain access to the sniperrifle, .45, 10mm ammo, lockpick, multitool, key and medbot here. WorldCorp players already get said items during their game without using the PC.
Also, be sure to save your game, then try killing Scara
.
Go back to the hallway towards the elevator, go left. Either pick a door or use multitools (I advise multitools) to open the room. There is some assault rifle ammo on the vending machine, but most importantly of all... there is a
Augmentation Upgrade Canister on the desk. Even if you can get in this room on the second day, there wont be this canister even if you didn't pick it up (unlike many other special items left alone on day 1). It's probably a good idea to upgrade your Light aug.
Go to lvl 1 (Using the elevator this time). Walk down the stairs to the left, and go inside the hallway on your right. Open the first usable doors to find a security shack. You'll find a note with a password but no login, and some shotgun and assault rifle ammo. Lockpicking the third locker for 10mm ammo and tranq darts turns the guard hostile, so if you really want to do that knock him down/kill him first.
Take the small metal crate with you.
Go back, take all stairs down, and go past the reception desk (read the note). Take the door on your right (woman's bathroom). Open the door to the most upperleft toilet, and open the grating. Put the metal box under it.
Go back to the reception desk and take the left stairs up. Go the first opening right, to enter the cantina.
Find another password without login, a lockpick, 2 bottles of chemicals and 2 rice bag ammo. Pick up a chair.
Also drag the chair to the womans bathroom, place it next to the box. Jump from the box on the chair into the vent. Take 2 ladders upstairs.
Use the only interactable door, and get
50 Skill Points. Break the boxes and take the goodies (2 PHAT-rays, Thermoptic Camo, 3 shotgun ammo, 3 assault rifle ammo and a LAM).
Pick up the loose metal box and place it under the higher up ammo crate. Around a corner you'll find a construction of 3 metal boxes. Keep one piled on the other, while taking the third, using it to create a path to the ammo crate. Break it open to find a
Vortex Grenade (one of few available on all item difficulties). Jump across, and pick up the piled metal crate to allow you to jump on the higher path towards
Easter Egg #8.
Crawl all the way back to the woman's bathroom.
You can also go to the men's bathroom and watch some grafiti (you can ask Mr. Clark about it), but now it's pretty much time to choose your allegiance and start the real story.
Because of the buildup of this walkthrough and the equality of the sublevel and sewers for WC/PDX players I will first deal with these specific areas before going to the faction-choice though. But it's generally advised to choose a side before going to any of these locations. Pick 4.0.0 for PlanetDeusEx, and 5.0.0 if you want to join WorldCorp.
3.6.0 The Sewers
NOTE: There are 3 possible PM's for all PM encounters. If you work for WorldCorp it's That Guy who sends PM's, if PDX Evil Invasion. If however you enter before choosing a side The Narcissus Entity will send PM's.
NOTE: With the highest NPC difficulty Greasels are plenty here. With the highest NPC Health difficulty setting they are extremely though too. You might want to stock up on ammo at Raving's, and check back once or twice to restock if running low again.
There are many places to enter the sewers, but for simplicities sake we are going to choose the one near the Quick Shop. Use your keys on the manhole, open it, crouch and move slightly back and forth until you fall down.
NOTE: Treskton's Pistols are especially good in killing Greasels. Also a sniperrifle is very efficient in killing them.
Jump on the crate, and crawl the vent. In the big room kill the greasel, then proceed to the right. Move up the ladder. Proceed down the pathway till you find a room saying: "Danger HOT".
Save your game (just in case) and run into the it to the end, lockpick the door. Search the body infront of the door for a Range weapon mod. Open the door, stand on the elevator and press down. Quickly search the room (you get
50 Skill Points) for a red biocell and a multitool. Do not wait down there, listening to the PM but get back up and run out of there to get the least amount of damage.
Continue following the linear path, until you reach a water basin. Jump in, and go through the rusty looking vent. When you reach the exit, jump the next vent and keep swimming until you surface again. Use the ladder to get out of the water and quickly dispose of the greasel. Take a metal box.
Get up the stair, place it under the vent, open the vent and crawl in. Follow the tunnel until you find another vent exit at your left, crawl through it. Go through the door, and down the ladder.
Talk to DDL for a funny conversation, and the schematics for a Quad Rocket Launcher, which you can use later in the WorldCorp sublevel (3.7.0). Also, do not forget to look at the sewer schematics on his table.
Go back up and crawl back to the pipe. In the room with the greasel, go up the stairs.
More greasels here.
Go right to the "Water Supply Regulations."
Do not pass the electrical beams and notice the locked door as you kill two more Greasels.
At the end, proceed right. Go forward and face two more greasels. On your right you find 2 PHAT-ray Canisters, 2 chemicals and 3 Firestaff Mana Potions. The passage infront of you leads to another Greasel, a sniper rifle with some additional ammo, a LAM and 2 Molotov Cocktails.
Go up the stairs and a ladder to find a dead mechanic carrying a multitool. Pick up the key next to him. Return back to the locked door in the Water Supply Regulations.
Open the door and press the button. Do not forget to pick up the multitool ontop of it.
NOTE: On the two highest item difficulties skip to the next whitespace, the item we are going to get is filtered out.
Proceed through the room that sparks no more, kill the greasel. Stay clear of the steam vents (they hurt), and disable the bot you see (EMP grenade, EMP pistol). If you trigger the second bot, disable that one too.
Open the vent in the floor and fall down it. Go down the stairs. At the hole in the floor carefully go right, do not fall down! Crawl further down, and then fall down the hole there.
In this room, pick up the multitool, then open the box for a
Spider Canister.
Fall through the hole in the floor, and keep carefully dropping down. If you have Speed Enhancement, use it! You might take some damage in the last fall. Notice you are back at DDL.
Go back to the "Water Supply Regulations", but this time don't go inside there but up the ladder to your left.
Deal with the Greasel, and move down his hallway, go up the stairs you see.
At the end, disable the Gas grenade on the floor and fall down in the water.
Break the crates for 2 .45 ammo clips, and a Recoil weapon mod. Climb out the water using the ladder and keep going forward, at the end go right. Proceed the way (you can ignore the first greasel, take down the second).
You're done with anything interesting in the Sewers, so keep moving forward until you can take a ladder out of them.
3.7.0 Getting into the WorldCorp Sublevel
Go into WorldCorp and to the elevator. Hack the hatch and multitool the keypad to get to the Sublevel.
OR
Enter WorldCorp through the garage, then open the vent near the Black Van (the one that isn't toppled). Take the 2 metal boxes from a level below (don't trigger Silver Dragon if you haven't dealt with him yet). and use them to get into the shaft. Fall down to find yourself in the Sewers.
Move off the walkway onto the pipe. Notice the explosive boxes there? Shoot them once the Spiderbot is near them to take care of the bot, and open the door there all in one.
Get back on the walkway, take the ladder down and move through the opened door for 2x 10mm ammo.
Get out and to the left. Walk till you hit the blue beams.
The range of the turret is pretty limited, so just walk past them fast. If your computer skill is high enough hack the security console to disable it afterwards.
The three spiderbots cannot reach you at the security station's location. So use that to carefully throw a LAM. You can use a EMP grenade or the EMP Pistol, but they might get stuck over the key you need to pick up here, forcing you to blow them up anyway. Once they are dealt with pick up the key. Go through the 2 doors to find some GEP-rockets, shotgun ammo and assault rifle ammo.
Save your game. Crawl through the vent. Once you see steam, immediately fall down to your right, continue going forward until you see a ladder, go up (feel free to use medkits if you get hurt a lot now). Crawl forward to find
Easter Egg #12. Now load your save. Since eggs are saved independant of your saves, you now have it without needing to take much damage
.
Go back to the room where the big Spiderbot was. Take down the ladder into it.
You can use the lever to unlock a ladder that allows you to climb back up to the parking lot of WorldCorp. Read the note for a code that is used in 3.7.1.
Walk around to find a vent in the floor that will take you to the sublevel. If you want to get a few additional goodies read 3.7.1. Otherwise drop down and proceed to 3.7.2.
3.7.1 The long way into the sublevel
Go back through the door leading to the blue lasers, but instead go left just after entering. Crawl through the vent before the alarm can be activated by the camera.
Take the ladder up and the other ladder down.
Now immediately go right.
You *could* go left, but the truth is that area is a complete waste of your time. The many vents lead nowhere, the exit with password given (
0023*) leads to the sewers, but there are easier ways into them. The storage area there is empty. It is noteworthy that the bridge can be lowered by swimming into a vent than using your multitools on a power box. This is one way to get to the sublevel. Problem is that makes you guaranteed to take damage, is far more complex and enemyridden, and just useless with the way inside described in 3.7.0. Also the keypad into there (the 0023* one) is located on the inside only, and not the outside, while that way only makes sense when trying to go in.
Anyway, as I was saying, go right.
Take care of the beam and the bot, then go right. Break open the pipe with a LAM or other explosive. Hug the green pipes to avoid taking damage and loot the area for 2 sabot ammo, 2 lockpicks and an EMP grenade. Go back and use a multitool on the keypad to enter the sublevel (or just run back to the hatch noted in 3.7.0 that brings you there if you want to save your multitool).
- I believe you even get a few skill points for it.
. Although I try to make the distinction now.
. And I had to change something I wrote way back (not updated that post though yet).
