Walkthrough for Part 77 of Deus Ex, covering the Knights Templar Cathedral in Paris. Includes skill points, items, and strategies for navigating the area.
Walkthrough
- 1Start in the bottom-left corner. Pass a gate and a metro station (M). Traverse a bridge over water to reach the Main Entrance of the cathedral, which has two towers connected by a walkway.
- 2Climb out of the sewers. There are no enemies. Enter the building next to the manhole by using two small Metal Crates. Break the glass.
- 3Inside, find a 150 CREDIT CHIT and a 100 CREDIT CHIT on a body. Use the beam to climb up one level.
- 4On the upper level, collect two FLARES, a LOCKPICK from a crate, and the GATEKEEPER'S NANOKEY. You can snipe an MJ12 Commando from the windows.
- 5Climb down, exit the building, and follow the alley. Unlock the gate. Deal with the MJ12 Commando if it's still present.
- 6Optional side path: This path offers 30.06 Ammo. If you can Hack, you can disable a Delta-2 Peacebringer or sneak past.
- 7To the West, an MJ12 Trooper with a Sniper Rifle is on a high bridge. Take them down. Move to the door to the Southwest.
- 8Beware of the Military Bot to your right. Silently open the door with Lockpicks.
- 9Move silently up the stairs. You'll find two to three MJ12 Troopers with Sniper Rifles. These enemies are dangerous and react if one is attacked. A Ballistic Armor or Protection can be helpful. A WP Rocket aimed at the middle of the bridge can eliminate them all. Alternatively, use Cloak to bypass them into the next room.
- 10In the next room, find a Terminal. The login info (MJ12/MJ12) is not available here, but you can Hack to shut down the Military Bot below. Collect three FLARES and a 100 CREDIT CHIT.
- 11If you defeated the soldiers, break the crates to find a LOCKPICK, a MULTITOOL, two LAMS, and 30.06 AMMO. A newspaper here implies Mead is suffering from the Gray Death, potentially allowing MJ12 to enforce martial law.
- 12Descend to find a window overlooking a painting, protected by an Alarm Panel and a turret. Breaking the glass triggers the turret.
- 13You can slice the Alarm Panel with the Dragon's Tooth if powerful enough. Otherwise, use Multitools to bypass the turret if the upstairs troopers are dealt with. Break the glass to obtain TRANQUILIZER DARTS, FLARE DARTS, a MINI-CROSSBOW, and a SNIPER RIFLE. The Terminal inside only controls the camera and turret.
- 14Note: The Terminal login for the SPORTINGGOODSSECURITY system is too long to be functional.
- 15Head Northwest. Quickly dive under the bridge with the snipers if they are alive. Reach the building ahead to avoid the Delta-2 Peacebringer if it's active. Cloak or Radar Transparency can be useful but are not required.
- 16In this building, find a Public Computer Terminal with a Bulletin about the Cathedral of Payens.
- 17To the North is the bridge to the cathedral. It's useful to check the Metro station first, though focus on the main objective. An MJ12 Trooper with a Sniper Rifle and a Commando patrol the area. Sneak past them to the North.
- 18An MJ12 Commando patrols the bridge to the cathedral. If you have the Swimming skill set to Advanced, dive into the water and emerge at the Old Well. Otherwise, use Rebreathers, Aqualung, or healing to survive the damage. This submerged tunnel is the quickest way to solve the mission.
- 19Take down the Commando and continue North to reach the cathedral. Bravo-3 Peacebringers and MJ12 Troopers patrol the area.
- 20Quickly turn East and stick to the shadows to avoid detection. Thermoptic Camo is ideal here, but you can also avoid enemies by staying hidden.
Tips
- Djibriel's First Time Player Pick: Upgrade the Pistol skill to Advanced.
- Consider using a WP Rocket to take out the snipers on the bridge in one shot.
- Cloaking is effective for bypassing enemies, especially the snipers on the bridge and the Delta-2 Peacebringer.
- The submerged tunnel via the Old Well is the fastest route to complete the mission.
