Any tips on fighting the 2nd boss as a stealth build? I don't have access to Typhoon attacks.

What I did?

Spoiler

Turned on smart vision and kept following her around the room while massaging her back with the assault rifle.

Spoiler

Run straight towards her when she charges you, turn around after she does her attack, shoot her with the stun gun, and unload with whatever grenades or damage dealing weapons you have.

If you need more guns or items (like useful EMP grenades) just check the cabinets on the outside wall of the room.

You can also shoot the generators on the walls to electrocute the water on the floor. Just make sure you're on the dry metal platform or equipped with the aug that prevents you from taking damage from electricity before you try it.

Questions for those who beat it.

Spoiler

I just entered Hengsha for the second time and Malik just crashed the choppa. How long do I have left in the game?

I still haven't come close to fully upgrading any weapons, I have 3 faster reload upgrades slots left for my tranq and about 6 more total upgrades left for my 10 mm pistol. I think I should have upgrade the tranq only. Will I get many more chances to to fully upgrade my tranq gun?

I will play it again so I guess I can do it that round if needed.

You're starting to get close to the end but you probably have a solid 5 or so hours left.

Spoiler

I'm not positive if you'll be able to find all the upgrades you need to max either one of those out at this point but I would guess not. There are still a decent number left for you to find though so I could be wrong. Make sure you go to all the vendors in Hengsha and use a guide to find upgrade locations for the last few areas.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution |OT| I asked for this

 

[Hawkian]

Um wow?

 

[Ashour]

I think my Deus Ex game is glitching.

Spoiler

on my second visit to China I got a side quest from a doctor at limb and he asked me to go check the butcher shop. so anyways I go there and search the dead man and found his media. read it but on the quest log it still says read the pocket media. I tried a couple of times but nothing changes. so I went to the swears on my own without an update on the quest but no one is there.

am I screwed out of this quest?

I was wondering this myself, but the description in the quest log is just awful.

Spoiler

Apparently you're just supposed to search them in the sewers, i can't remember the exact location anymore though.

 

[Ben Pierce]

I don't know how I feel about this game yet...

At first, I thought I liked it, but I'm just not that sure anymore. I'm not that deep into it, though, so maybe I should give it some time, but I'm just not impressed with the gameplay.

Yeah, you can still do the quest ...

Spoiler

the entrance to the sewers you need is by the other sidequest where you have to knock out the dudes, basically you can do both because they are by the trashy hobo-area by the entrance to Alice Garden Pods

Yeah, I'm having the same problem.

Spoiler

Usually the game knows when you read a log or something like that and tells you were to go. I'm guessing we just have to search the sewers for him now. I went through them once and didn't run into them, so I may just have to keep looking.

No, you really don't need to know anything.

Hacking makes things a cinch. Stealth seems to get you more XP.

Not really anything you need to know about the story. The story fits in well with the original, but you don't need to have played DX1 to appreciate Human Revolution. With that being said, I would still highly recommend the first game.

In terms of tips, I would say take your time. Explore, approach situations from a variety of different ways. Have fun, it's a great world to get lost in.

Haha. For me, it glitched and got stuck in a wall. Then I just relaxed, stretched out my legs, and just took my time pumping her full of lead.

Okay, I was able to finish the quest.

Spoiler

Whoever mentioned that it's near the Alice Garden Pods was right. My problem was I searched in the sewers on the other side of town. The minute you run into the team, your quest log updates with two entries, one that looks like it should have triggered when you first pick up that pocket secretary.

Just hop in the sewers there, they're pretty easy to find once you do.

what I did.

Spoiler

Emp the recharge stations, it'll cause the water to electrify therefor stunning her. Shoot her in the head until she recovers.... run like hell. Repeat until you're outta emp. Then I'd just run from her, stun gun her after her attacks, then shoot her in the head. Upgraded dermal+electricity defense is very very helpful for this fight

 

[watershed]

Is it possible to play through this game guns blazing? I've beat the game once already but did so almost completely stealth. If I do a second playthrough offensively will I get enough ammo, etc to actually play it like a more standard fps?

I'm assuming you can do that just fine, as long as you aren't just wasting clips of ammo at all times. You'll probably have to conserve ammo somewhat, but just running through the game stealthily it doesn't look like it would be a problem. I mean, the pistol can be ridiculously overpowered, and its ammo is everywhere. And I know I'm always picking up machine pistol ammo as well that I just drop to make room in my inventory. There doesn't seem to be a done of shotgun ammo, but I'm sure there's enough to keep you by.

As an aside, I like how this game has more satisfying non lethal weapons than the first. In that game you had the baton, crossbow with tranq darts, and the prod. In this game you have non-lethal takedowns, the tranq sniper rifle, the stun gun, and P.E.P.s. All four of those are ridiculously fun to use -- at least more so than the originals.

Although I've got to say I miss Pepper Spray. I loved alerting guards, running around a corner, and then spraying pepper spray in their eyes. As they stood there screaming in agony, I would just bop them on the head with my baton.

Someone tell me wat do on the stupid boss fight in the chick computer room, you know what I mean!

I hate boss fights in fps games soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much >_<

 

[mileS]

ENBSeries, so it will lag like a bitch i'm guessing? Also its worth pointing out how good you can make anything look with downsampled screenshots.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Alright, quick question. If I throw an EMP grenade at one of those robot things to take it down, does that count against my non lethal playthrough?

If so,

Spoiler

I'm at the part where you have to save Malik and I can take everyone down through non lethal means but I have no idea how else to take the robot down. I don't see any terminals around to deactivate it.

I would really appreciate any help.

2nd boss fight?

Spoiler

I just ran around in circles and used EMP grenades/mines if I spotted her cloaked. It usually stuns her for a second that I use to unload whatever weapon I have, usually shotgun. She then runs away and if I have sufficient health & ammo I just follow her and do the same, if not I search nearby lockers or boost my health/change weapons. I usually never get too close, but that is because I didn't have armor augs. I heard that armor+typhoon bosses usually die in 3 attacks.

I found all of them rather easy tbh.

 

[i-Lo]

if the

Spoiler

crazy individuals in the last chapter

hostile against you, then does it count as "alarmed"? I swear, I played the games with only only perhaps two turrets spotting me but without raising the "touch pad alarm". Also, I went through the decontamination section the towards end which sounds what seems like an alarm.

So did I blow it in those areas as I didn't get my stealth trophy?

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

stupid question but can you play this game in third person?

 

[Respawn]

No. Shotgun and Taser.

nah Grenade launcher

I don't like how things look so white in the second video. The first video looks decent.

(and of course almost any downsampled picture will look better, I'd like to see some full-sized ones)

 

[Erudite]

Just finished the game, thought I would get the Pacifist achievement. Nope. Can't remember if I killed anyone in the Prologue or not. Ugh.

Can we get more Denis' ENB pics in here? That one looks AMAZING.

The game looks almost identical to its concept art with the ENB mod.

Shadows? In my Human Revolution?

It's more likely than you think.

Shit, that looks sick. I wonder if my rig will stand it...it's so pretty...

Too bad ENB has to optimize the shadow code because it lags like crazy now.

ENB looks better.

Game put on hold together with The Witcher 2.

Buy new rig. Play GTA IV.
