Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for Deus Ex: Human Revolution's 'Finding Isaias Sandoval: Part 16' mission. Includes objectives, enemy locations, item pickups, and strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1To find Sandoval, go to the Chiron Building (Jensen’s apartment building) and climb the fire escape in the nearby alley.
- 2Head through the door on your right and sneak downstairs. Take out the hostile thugs.
- 3Explore the apartment around the corner. Be cautious of a trap with two EMP GRENADES under a body if you pick up the PRAXIS KIT. Take out Zeke Sanders when he investigates; he has a POCKET SECRETARY with a safe keycode.
- 4The LVL4 safe (code 5463) is behind a picture frame in the next room. It contains 210 CREDITS, 78 CREDITS, 4x TRANQUILIZER DARTS, 2x FRAG MINES, and 2x STUN GUN DARTS.
- 5In the bathroom, move crates to reveal a breaker box. Flip it to reveal a secret basement entrance. Alternatively, destroy the breakable wall in the bathroom to reach the same area.
- 6Downstairs, you can avoid two guards by entering a nearby vent. Drop down the shaft, one level at a time.
- 7If you choose to engage the guards, use cloak and perform takedowns. The weapon cabinets contain 2x COMBAT RIFLE, SHOTGUN, and 3x REVOLVER.
- 8The lockers contain 15 SNIPER RIFLE AMMO, 4x SHOTGUN CARTRIDGES, 5x SHOTGUN SHELLS, and 20x COMBAT RIFLE AMMO.
- 9Enter the sewers via the manhole in the red container.
- 10In the sewers, take out the first guard when he passes by, hiding behind barrels.
- 11To bypass the laser grid on the left and guards on the right, enter the vent near the green barrel to reach a small room (TRAVELER 100XP).
- 12From this room, you can take out a guard in the next hallway. The LVL 4 security panel (8218) disables the laser grids. Beware of four FRAG MINES on the overpasses.
- 13A breakable wall on the southwest leads to EXPLORER 200XP and a CYBERBOOST PROENERGY BAR.
- 14Sneak up on the three guards at the burning barrel for a double takedown, then take down the third guard.
- 15Collect 6x SHOTGUN CARTRIDGES from the barrels.
- 16Head to the door around the corner to confront Sandoval. Empathize with him to win the social battle (1000X, GHOST 500XP, SMOOTH OPERATOR 250XP, SILVER TONGUE 1000XP).
- 17Take his REVOLVER and search the room for 5x REVOLVER AMMO and a HUGH DARROW EBOOK.
- 18Go through the other door to reach another part of the sewers.
- 19Find 28 CREDITS and 300 CREDITS behind a breakable wall on your right.
- 20The ladder leads to a closed door with a LVL 1 security system that links to the main sewer system.
- 21Head to the Chiron Building and meet Malik on the roof (750XP).
- 22If you convince Dr. Isaias Sandoval out of committing suicide, you will earn the achievement/trophy “The Last Straw”.
