Part 80

Return to the Fountain of Wisdom, one stairway down and across the hall.

Disable the camera.

Use the code 0022 to open the door.

Gunther will contact you here; he is very close.

Open the crate to find a FIRE EXTINGUISHER and take it with you.

Climb the ladder up.

On this level, find the Switch and gain the 150 SP EXPLORATION BONUS for discovering a secret passage in the Cathedral.

On the other side, you will find sturdy doors with powerful locks and two crates containing FLARE DARTS and DARTS.

If you want to return, the panel will be closed, but the nearby lamp can be used to open it.

Return to the room with the Ambrosia barrels and continue until you find the large room, which is the Fountain of Wisdom.

Gunther is here and will approach you as soon as you have line of sight. He will see through your Cloak (a type of invisibility).

You can go around him and fire an explosive at him before he can initiate a dialogue.

You have the option of using or not using Gunther's killphrase, 'Laputan Machine', which JC learned from Jaime in Paris. This killphrase will destroy Gunther.

If you have the Aggressive Defense Augmentation, you can use it to stop the stream of fire that Gunther will unleash.

If Gunther reaches you for a dialogue, he will set you on fire as soon as the cutscene (a non-interactive story sequence) is over. This is why Fire Extinguishers are important.

An Energy Shield and the Aggressive Defense System both work to reduce or stop the effects of Gunther's weapon.

There are several ways of dealing with Gunther: fire a Rocket before the conversation starts, line the passage you came through with LAMs (a type of explosive mine) and escape from Gunther while he blows up behind you, or reach the ladder and snipe at Gunther from above.

Gunther will never Cloak (become invisible) like Anna, but when he is very close to death, he will stop attacking you and run.

It is not necessary to kill Gunther, and it is even possible, though difficult, to render him Unconscious.

While Gunther will take full damage from bullets and explosions, he will only take 10% damage from Tranq. Darts and its poison, and the Riot Prod (a non-lethal weapon).

In addition, he is immune to the gaseous attacks and the stunning effects of the Riot Prod, and he cannot be set on fire by the Flamethrower.

Regardless of your actions, the game will assume you killed Gunther at this stage later in the game.

If you manage to get Gunther Unconscious, he will not self-destruct, and you can take a COMBAT KNIFE, a FLAMETHROWER, and an ASSAULT RIFLE from his body.

Reaching the Computer will grant you the 500 SP CRITICAL LOCATION BONUS for finding the Fountain of Wisdom.

Using the code 34501/08711 allows you to establish a system uplink.

When you are done, Walton Simons' hologram will be waiting for you; you can only talk to him if you have killed or knocked out Gunther.

He hints that a nano-augmented soldier is now coming after you.

Get back to the tower and find the door leading outside at the ground level.

You may want to check in with the Repair Bot in the vault.

Leave the building and sneak past any remaining resistance to the Old Well to the Northeast.

Dive in and follow it to the bridge.

On the way there, you can find a crate containing a LOCKPICK.

You will have to exit on the North side.

You will receive Infolink messages on the way to the Metro station.

There is a crate containing BALLISTIC ARMOR near the Metro entrance.
