Walkthrough for Deus Ex's Part 97: Area 51 Bunker Sector 2. Find steam tunnels, the Recreation wing, Alain's chamber, and gain Sector 3 access.
Walkthrough
- 1From the elevator, descend to the elevator shaft floor and collect two BIOELECTRIC CELLS from a Mechanic's body. Reach the Sector 2 Blast Doors.
- 2In the first room after Everett's contact, deal with a camera in the Northeast, a turret in the middle, and a blue tripwire trap that releases two Arcbots. You can slice the camera from a railing, sneak behind crates to reach the tripwire, use a LAM to destroy lasers, jump over them, or fight the bots.
- 3Continue on; a generator will explode. Avoid getting too close. Listen to Bob Page. Heading North will trigger Everett to call you back to Station 5 for a holographic communication.
- 4Secondary Goal: Gain Sector 2 access by talking to Morgan Everett at the Station 5 holographic communicator. Everett will provide the 8946 code for Level 2 entry and propose a conspiracy.
- 5Secondary Goal: Kill Bob Page to allow former Illuminati leaders to restore a secret government and rule the world with compassion alongside Morgan Everett.
- 6Find the hatch behind the generator with the 50% Str Lock. Pick the lock and dive down to find the steam maintenance tunnel.
- 7Two Baby Karkians are present. Valves to the West can stop steam flow for safer passage through the tunnel, but it's not the optimal route.
- 8Heading East leads to the Sector 2 access point without the required Nanokey. Go North instead. Collect 10MM AMMO from a crate. Destroy the Bravo-3 Peacebringer patrolling around the corner.
- 9Find the Barracks and use the code 8946. The Barracks contain six beds, most protected by Security Keypads:
- Southwest: INF Str Keypad (inaccessible goodies).
- 10Clockwise: 20% Str Keypad (Jacob's Shadow Chapter 34).
- 11Next: 70% Str Keypad (BIOELECTRIC CELL, LOCKPICK, SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN, BUCKSHOT SHELLS).
- 12Next: 20% Str Keypad (accessible bed).
- 13Next: 70% Str Keypad (MULTITOOL, BIOELECTRIC CELL, TORSO2 AUGMENTATION CANISTER, Greasel).
- 14Next: 70% Str Keypad (PLASMA CLIP, PLASMA RIFLE, TRANQUILIZER DARTS, FLARE DARTS, 7.62x51MM AMMO clip).
- 15If you have acquired Energy Shield, install the Augmentation Canister with the Med Bot in the Barracks' middle.
- 16Leave the Barracks and head East to the Recreation wing, guarded by a turret and camera. Collect a MEDKIT from a crate.
- 17Use code 8946 to open the door. Inside, confront an MJ12 Trooper and a Woman in Black. The Woman in Black may carry a PS20, and the Trooper an EMP GRENADE. Collect a MULTITOOL from a female scientist's body on the ping pong table and another from the troopers' table. Hack the Terminal near the door to disable exterior security.
- 18Secondary Goal: Collect the DataCube on the ping pong table listing the 0169 code.
- 19Return to the Barracks and use the 0169 code to enter Alain's chamber.
- 20Inside Alain's chamber, find a MEDKIT, an UPGRADE CANISTER, and the SECTION 3 ACCESS NANOKEY.
- 21Djibriel's First Time Player Pick: Upgrade Environmental Resistance to Level 2.
- 22Outside the Barracks, head West then East to the Section 3 access door area. Two MJ12 Commandoes and three MJ12 Troopers (one with a Sniper Rifle on a crane) patrol here. Use Thermoptic Camo or Cloak Augmentation to avoid combat.
- 23Find the hatch in the Southwest corner near the Repair Bot and dive in.
- 24In the tunnel, head East. Collect an armed LAM from the wall on the right. Near the hatch on this side, a crate contains ROCKETS. Loot a MULTITOOL from a mechanic's body.
- 25Turn on Cloak again and emerge from the hatch.
- 26If needed, collect 7.62x51MM AMMO and TRANQUILIZER DARTS from crates on the East wall. Climb stairs to find a LOCKPICK in a crate. Use your Keyring to open the door to Sector 3.
- 27Behind the wall, break crates for a MEDKIT and a LOCKPICK.
- 28Summon the elevator and hide behind the wall. Page will announce a Man in Black and two MJ12 Troopers arriving via elevator. Use the Pepper Gun's multi-stun or an explosive to deal with them. One Trooper carries an EMP GRENADE. Ride the elevator down.
- 29Tong will contact you shortly after.
