Guide to Deus Ex Part 101: Navigate Area 51, disable blue-fusion reactors, and confront Bob Page. Make critical choices: join the Illuminati, merge with Helios, or destroy everything.
Walkthrough
- 1You start by finding a female scientist with a DataCube containing the code LAB 12/GRAYTEST. Dodge an explosion and receive contact from Page. Locate your birthing pod to the Northeast and Alex Denton's to the Northwest. An UPGRADE CANISTER is on the dead scientist's body, along with a Medbot.
- 2To the North, find Environmental Generators. The nearby Terminal uses LAB 12/GRAYTEST (or GRAYTEST/LAB12 in some versions). Turn off the generators and disable the two Grays using Tranq. Darts. As you approach Page, Everett and Jacobson will contact you regarding the Illuminati's plan for the facility.
- 3Proceed to the other side for a confrontation with Page and his plasma forcefield.
- 4You will reach a decision point. Your choices are:
- Join the Illuminati: Bring down the four blue-fusion reactors, then go to the infusion control room to cut power to Page's defense system. Kill Bob Page to allow the Illuminati to restore a secret government and rule the world with Morgan Everett. This is described as the hardest option due to the scattered reactors.
- 5Merge with Helios AI: Go to chapter 4.29 or follow [HELIOS-LINK].
- 6Destroy Area 51 and Global Communications: Go to chapter 4.30 or follow [DARKAGE-LINK].
- 7Illuminati Path Detailed: Your mission is to find and disable the four blue-fusion reactors using the code 7243. This will disable Page's plasma forcefield.
- 8Pass Page and find the pathway to the Southeast. Stick to the walls to avoid the plasma forcefield's EMP properties and gunfire from two turrets (destroy them or use Radar Transparency; Thermoptic Camo is ineffective). Climb a ladder while Tong contacts you.
- 9Look down into the pit where three of the four blue-fusion reactors are located. Do not take the elevator. Destroying the mass-produced creatures is not productive.
- 10Find the pathway to the Southwest. Open a chest with an 80% Str Lock to find a LAM, DARTS, and FLARE DARTS. Descend stairs, turn around to find crates with a LAM and BUCKSHOT SHELLS.
- 11To the North, find the first blue-fusion reactor. Use the code 7243 to deactivate it. Two Security Bots will be released; destroy them or cloak past them to reach the elevator. In the alcoves where the bots were, find a HAZMAT SUIT, a LOCKPICK, and a LAM.
- 12Do not take the elevator. Open a grate and climb down into a red light chute. Open another grate to find crates with 30.06 AMMO and 10MM AMMO. There is also a datacube with the Aquinas Substation code, which is not useful here. Before opening the door, be aware of Greasels and Karkians; Cloak or Thermoptic Camo is recommended.
- 13To the North, on the other side of the building, find crates with 10MM AMMO and 7.62x51MM AMMO. Further Northeast, find the second blue-fusion reactor. Use 7243 to shut it down.
