Detailed walkthrough for Part 96 of Deus Ex, covering the Comm Building, Control Tower, and Area 51. Includes item locations, enemy strategies, and skill point bonuses.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find the Comm Building. Near the overturned Black Van, collect BUCKSHOT SHELLS. Inside, find the TOWER NANOKEY. In lockers, find DARTS. Middle lockers have 70% Str Locks, destroy them for MULTITOOLS and 7.62x51MM AMMO. An adjacent room contains BIOELECTRIC CELLS and a MEDKIT. Open the hatch with your Keyring.
  2. 2
    Explore the Comm Building cellar for a BIOELECTRIC CELL, ROCKETS, and BALLISTIC ARMOR next to a DataCube with the Tower's security console login: A51/XX15YZ. Crates contain a LAW and a REBREATHER. An UPGRADE CANISTER is behind a 70% Str Keypad; use Multitools if needed.
  3. 3
    Exit the Comm Building and head to the Control Tower. Page will contact you if you pass the Blast Doors.
  4. 4
    Open the Control Tower door with your Keyring. The body has an EMP GRENADE. Climb down the ladder, avoiding the armed LAM on the wall (crouch to reach from the floor). Crates contain another EMP GRENADE and 30.06 AMMO. Climb up two levels, avoiding another LAM. A Repair Bot is present. Climb the final level to find the Sniper's body.
  5. 5
    Use A51/XX15YZ to open the Blast Doors. Exit the Control Tower and find the blast doors. Enter Area 51 via the front entrance.
  6. 6
    Primary Goal: Bring up the power to the elevator system to access Page's bunker.
  7. 7
    Find the Terminal near the entrance. Hack to disable security or destroy it. To the Northwest is an elevator down into Area 51. To the Northeast, turn on power. Both wings have a patrolling Military bot; use Radar Transparency to get past them.
  8. 8
    In the power station, deal with two Arcbots. One in the Southwest pit protects crates with a MEDKIT and THERMOPTIC CAMO. The second is on the walkway between buildings. Use a Spy Drone or Repair Bot for recharging.
  9. 9
    Enter the Southeast door to find a crate with a LOCKPICK and a ladder. Beware of any remaining Arcbot. Follow the walkway to the other building with a ladder. A crate contains BUCKSHOT SHELLS and a BIOELECTRIC CELL. Find the yellow square power box to the Southeast and set [2] online.
  10. 10
    Return to the main room. Crates surrounded by radioactive waste contain 10MM AMMO and a LOCKPICK. Return to the front entrance. Explore the Hangar.
  11. 11
    The Hangar contains two Commandoes and a Man in Black. Cloak past them. A crate in the Southeast corner has BUCKSHOT SHELLS. Climb a girder into a building to find Xander, who gives you the X51/XX15YZ combo.
  12. 12
    Climb out the window and down to the ground. Climb the girder again to the roof for the STORAGE ROOM NANOKEY near a dead Mechanic and a LOCKPICK on his body.
  13. 13
    Alternatively, find the girder on the West wall, follow it to the top grate of the intake fan. Open the hatch and drop onto the fan. Destroy the blades with the Dragon's Tooth. Drop down into the water.
  14. 14
    Dive North to find a body with a LASER WEAPON MODIFICATION. Return to where you landed and climb out of the water.
  15. 15
    Follow the path to a Terminal. Hack it to disable a turret and camera, or disable it by other means. Crates contain a LOCKPICK and 10MM AMMO. Take the elevator down.
  16. 16
    Disable a 20% Str Control Panel to bypass blue tripwire lasers and a security bot. Proceed into the elevator shaft.
