Follow this Deus Ex walkthrough to escape the MJ12 facility, recover your gear, and find your brother's datavault. Includes skill points, items, and strategies.
Walkthrough
- 1Upon waking in your cell, talk to Anna if she's present. Wait for Daedalus to disable the power, allowing your escape.
- 2Grab the BATON and supply crate near the first MJ12 Trooper. Break the crate to find a RIOT PROD. The guard has a COMBAT KNIFE and PISTOL; another COMBAT KNIFE is on a cabinet.
- 3Inside the cabinet, find a MULTITOOL and 10MM AMMO. A locked drawer (Str 10%) contains another MULTITOOL. A desk has more 10MM AMMO and a DataCube with codes: 4679 for jail cells, 4089 for the block.
- 4In the cell with the Med Bot, find two LOCKPICKS and a PS20 on an NSF corpse.
- 5In the adjacent cell, Miguel is wounded. You can lead him out, but it's best to tell him to stay put until you've cleared the path. He will give you a MEDKIT.
- 6Avoid the single camera in the hall to proceed. Daedalus will contact you, and you'll earn 250 SP for escaping the MJ12 Detention Area.
- 7Your primary goal is now to find your brother and access his datavault. Your secondary goal is to recover your stolen equipment.
- 8Sneak past Robot Maintenance to reach the Armory, then proceed to the Medical Lab, and finally the Command Center to exit.
- 9In the Robot Maintenance corridor, find a LOCKPICK and CROWBAR behind pipes.
- 10Navigate the three levels of Robot Maintenance. It's best to sneak to the top control floor and disable the MJ12 Troopers there, avoiding detection from higher levels.
- 11Find stairs to the East. On the upper level, a Sniper Rifle MJ12 patrols. Sneak past and disable the MJ12 in the corridor ahead. You can acquire an ASSAULT SHOTGUN from this enemy.
- 12Climb more stairs, finding a LOCKPICK behind pipes. Turn left to find an MJ12 in an office with an ASSAULT RIFLE. Disable him silently.
- 13Take out the MJ12 near the computer to the North. Avoid the windows to prevent detection by MJ12 below.
- 14Check the DataCube for the armory code: 2971. You'll also find a LOCKPICK and two EMP GRENADES on a table. Another DataCube discusses Bravo-3 Peacebringers.
Tips
- When you wake up, the game takes your gear. You can access your inventory briefly to drop items, which you can pick up later. This is considered cheating, but all items except grenades can be found again.
- To circumvent a bug that reduces your grenades to 1, drop them before they are taken and pick them up again later.
- Daedalus is the name of the game's primary Internet communications protocol.
- Majestic 12 (MJ12) is a fictional secret committee from 1947, often linked to UFO conspiracy theories.
- When dealing with Miguel, tell him to wait in his cell until you've cleared the area.
- When disabling enemies, prioritize silent takedowns to avoid alerting others.
