Guide for Deus Ex Part 18: Learn how to take down the NSF at the 'Ton Hotel, rescue hostages, find hidden items like Multitools and Bioelectric Cells, and explore the Smuggler's Den.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Open the door with the Nanokey Paul gave you and sneak into the elevator shaft. Avoid getting too close to the hostages to prevent the NSF from shooting them.
  2. 2
    Shoot the two NSF guarding the hostages from the elevator shaft. You will receive a 65 SP ACCOMPLISHMENT BONUS for rescuing hostages in the 'Ton Hotel, regardless of their survival.
  3. 3
    If the male hostage survives, he will give you the NSF password 'righteous'.
  4. 4
    Return to the elevator shaft. Climb the ladder all the way up to find a MULTITOOL. Climb all the way down to find two crates containing a BIOELECTRIC CELL and another MULTITOOL.
  5. 5
    Leave the elevator shaft and head towards Mr. Gilbert Renton's office. A single NSF is guarding it.
  6. 6
    You can talk to Gilbert without alerting the NSF; he will pretend everything is normal. The NSF will not shoot Gilbert. Rush in and use the Riot Prod or another weapon to take down the NSF. Be careful not to get too close to Gilbert before the NSF is down, as JC Denton will initiate a conversation while the NSF is ready to shoot him.
  7. 7
    In Gilbert Renton's office, find the NORTH ROOM NANOKEY in the keycloset and a 50 CREDIT CHIT on the table.
  8. 8
    Locate a hard-to-spot DataCube on top of the watercooler, written by the NSF Terrorist you just defeated.
  9. 9
    Use the North Room Nanokey to enter a druggies' den on the second floor. Inside, you'll find two dead bodies, two ZYME VIALS (which you have no use for), and a 20% Str Lock door. Behind the door are a MEDKIT and a BIOELECTRIC CELL.
  10. 10
    On the balcony of the second floor, behind a Houseplant, find a DataCube with ATM account information (account# 543654, PIN# 5544). This is old information for John Palmer.
  11. 11
    In the front hall of the hotel, use the ATM with account# 947761 and PIN# 2867 to get 62 credits. The base ATM value is 232.
  12. 12
    Find the container facing East with a 40% Str Lock. Breaking into this container with Lockpicks or explosives yields a 50 SP EXPLORATION BONUS for the Back entrance Smuggler's Den.
  13. 13
    Descend the ladder to find yourself in an underground parking garage. Nearby is a crate with a LOCKPICK.
  14. 14
    In an old booth ahead, find a single MULTITOOL.
  15. 15
    Use a Multitool or two on the nearby Control Panel to disable the blue lasers. Failing to do so will trigger a Security Bot.
  16. 16
    Past the lasers, find a crate with BALLISTIC ARMOR and another with a PROD CHARGER.
  17. 17
    Open the door to receive a 20 SP AREA LOCATION BONUS for finding the Smuggler's Den.
  18. 18
    Talk to Smuggler.
Tips
  • The 'Ton Hotel is a reference to the Hilton chain. The hotel is called Hilton, owned by the Rentons.
  • The newspaper articles in the hotel mention Zyme and reference characters from novels and comics, including Paul Denton, James Cabell, Gully Foyle, Gabriel Syme, Oberst Enzian, and Smilla Jasperson.
  • The North Room Nanokey can be used to access a druggies' den on the second floor.
  • The IP address 999.7.7.7 found on a DataCube is significant: 777 is considered a holy number in Christianity, the opposite of 666.
  • You can find Smuggler's front entrance Southeast of the subway entrance. An alternative path through a tunnel near the basketball field where you rescued the Bum leads to the Smuggler's Den and extra skill points.
  • The container facing East with the 40% Str Lock contains the bonus for finding the Smuggler's Den. The container facing West only holds a PROD CHARGER.
