Walkthrough for Deus Ex Part 104: Destroy Area 51 and the global communications hub. Includes steps to disable coolant, activate reactors, and find items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Go to the coolant control room in the northwest corner of Sector 4. Cut off coolant to the reactors.
  2. 2
    Return to the reactor lab in Sector 3 to finish the job. Destroying the global communications hub will plunge the world into another dark age, free from global tyranny.
  3. 3
    Your mission is to find the coolant control room, then turn on the experimental alien reactors in Sector 3 to destroy Area 51 and all digital communication options.
  4. 4
    Head into the path to the Southeast. Avoid the plasma forcefield. Destroy or bypass the two turrets using Radar Transparency.
  5. 5
    Climb the small ladder, find the grate in the ground, and climb down the long ladder. Open the grate to find two crates with 30.06 AMMO, 10MM AMMO, and a DataCube with a code (optional if you plan to blow up the facility).
  6. 6
    To enter the coolant reactor facility: swim there if you have a Rebreather or Advanced swimming skill, or find a DataCube with the code and enter through the front door. The swimming method is recommended.
  7. 7
    Open the door outside and find the grate to your right. Open it and crawl North. At the end, find crates with SABOT SHELLS and ROCKETS. Press the Switch to open the waterway.
  8. 8
    Swim North, then West. Activate your Rebreather if needed. At the first vertical pipe, you can reach the surface. Below the pipe, find a Mechanic's body with a MULTITOOL and a BIOELECTRIC CELL. Further West, find a Soldier's corpse with TECH GOGGLES and a LAW at the bottom. Crawl out of the water via the ladder.
  9. 9
    An MJ12 Commando patrols here. Use Cloak and Prod him, or climb the ladder and shoot him. A Trooper is on the walkway above, and two more are in the Northeast corner. You can Cloak, press the required button, and flee, or engage them.
  10. 10
    Head into the room to the East. On the walkway above, there's an MJ12 Trooper. Use Cloak and climb the ladder to take him down.
  11. 11
    The Mechanic on the yellow power box in the Northeast corner holds a MULTITOOL and a BIOELECTRIC CELL. A crate in the Southwest corner holds a MEDKIT.
  12. 12
    A cabinet with a 90% Str Lock can be sliced open with Combat Strength. It contains two PROD CHARGERS, a BIOELECTRIC CELL, a MULTITOOL, SABOT SHELLS, HE AMMO, BUCKSHOT SHELLS, 30.06 AMMO, and a PEPPER CARTRIDGE.
  13. 13
    Next to the cabinet is a FIRE EXTINGUISHER. A switch in the Northeastern corner, on the yellow workstation, can create a flame. The Mechanic on the ground holds a LOCKPICK.
  14. 14
    Climb the ladder again and head West. If you didn't disable the Trooper above in the previous room, he will be there.
  15. 15
    A chest here has a 70% Lock that can be sliced open with Combat Strength. It contains ROCKETS, an EMP GRENADE, and a PS20.
  16. 16
    Jump into the water below and crawl out again. Disable the final two Troopers to the Northeast, where you can find two crates with a LAW and a MEDKIT. Behind them, find a grate that leads to a crate with a MULTITOOL.
  17. 17
    To the East, find the 'Flush System' Switch. This stops the coolant from reaching the reactors in Sector 3.
  18. 18
    Head East and press two Switches to enter the main room. You could have entered this way via a 70% Str Keypad. The code for it can be found above, near the Grays in the Southwest corner. In some versions, the code is 2242; in others (like Game of the Year Edition), it's a bugged 9248.
  19. 19
    With the coolant control room behind you, activate Cloak or Thermoptic Camo and head to the Southeast corner. Find a Switch that summons the elevator to the top level.
  20. 20
    Ride the elevator. Leap down the small ladder and pass Page while you return to Sector 3 to the West.
  21. 21
    In Sector 3, climb the stairway to the Southwest until you reach radioactive barrels. Climb the ladder on the West wall. Continue West until you reach the stairwell. Descend and find Reactor Lab B13 to the North. Tong will contact you inside.
  22. 22
    Get close to the reactors. Activate any Hazmat Suit or Environmental Resistance Augmentation.
  23. 23
    A Failsafe disable Switch is at the bottom of both reactors, with a crawlspace in between. You can climb out via a ladder.
  24. 24
    Get to the control room to the Northwest. Page and Helios will beg you to reconsider.

Secondary Goals:

  1. Go to the reactor control room.
  2. Activate the three ion injectors.
  3. Initiate the antimatter-matter reaction.
  4. Run.

Walkthrough (Secondary Goals):

  1. Climb the ladder.
  2. Activate the first and second ion injectors.
  3. Once you press the third injector, a Mechanic will try to stop you. Disable him.
  4. Find the Engage Switch on the workstation to initiate the antimatter-matter reaction and destroy Area 51, killing everyone inside.
Tips
  • Destroying the global communications hub is the best option to prevent global tyranny.
  • Avoid getting too close to the plasma forcefield as it drains energy.
  • Use Cloak or Thermoptic Camo to bypass enemies or get treasure.
  • Combat Strength can be used to slice open locked cabinets and chests.
  • Consider using a Hazmat Suit or Environmental Resistance Augmentation when near radioactive barrels or reactors.
