Navigate the flooded stairways, radioactive rooms, and command center in Deus Ex Part 85. Find upgrade canisters, weapons, and crucial nanokeys.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the flooded stairway, find the exit to the South. Swim up the flooded stairway and use the Switch to return to familiar territory.
  2. 2
    Dive back into the flooded area and go all the way down to find a locked door requiring a 60% Strength Keypad. To open it, you can upgrade your Swimming skill, use a Rebreather, or activate Aqualung. Regeneration can help mitigate damage.
  3. 3
    After opening the door, grab more air and dive back in. A dead body holds a LOCKPICK and an UPGRADE CANISTER. Further on, a dead MJ12 Trooper has a PISTOL, and a crate contains BALLISTIC ARMOR.
  4. 4
    Return to the fork past the tripwire trap. Use the MAINTENANCE NANOKEY to open the 90% Strength lock. Climb the ladder to find crates with 10MM AMMO and a clip of 7.62x51MM AMMO.
  5. 5
    To avoid the radioactive room, crawl over the pipes near the ceiling. This route awards a 150 SP EXPLORATION BONUS for crawling over pipes in the radiation room.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, you can leap over the other side of the radiation room, but you cannot return this way. If you choose to open the door the regular way, you must protect yourself from radiation (Environmental Resistance helps) and the damaging green liquid.
  7. 7
    Crates in this area contain an EMP GRENADE, and a body holds a MULTITOOL. Quickly reach the other side and use the button to open the door.
  8. 8
    In the storage room, take out the small Arcbot. Descend the stairs to find two crates containing two MEDKITS.
  9. 9
    Continue past blue tripwire lasers controlled by an 80% Strength Control Panel. Triggering the 'trap' summons a turret. You can bypass the panel, disable the lasers, or trip them and destroy the turret. Radar Transparency can make you invisible to the turret.
  10. 10
    On the ground floor of the storage room, find a LOCKPICK in a crate. Another crate contains ROCKETS, but requires getting near a radioactive barrel.
  11. 11
    Ascend the stairs to the supply lift control room. A MEDKIT is on the floor. Set the lift to '2' to reach a crate with a MEDKIT, a crate with a LOCKPICK, and gain a 150 SP EXPLORATION BONUS for exploring the utility tunnel storage room.
  12. 12
    A FLAMETHROWER is located between two explosive barrels. Place a small Metal Crate in front of it and jump to reach it.
  13. 13
    Set the lift to '3', return, and walk over the lift. Beware of another Arcbot.
  14. 14
    Find the body of Reynolds, which holds a MULTITOOL and the CONTROL ROOM NANOKEY. You gain a 400 SP ADVANCEMENT BONUS for reaching the Command Centre through tunnels.
  15. 15
    In the Command Centre, use the Nanokey to access the Control Room. Find crates with a LOCKPICK and 10MM AMMO.
  16. 16
    Use the Switch to open the door, but be prepared for two MJ12 Troops and a Man in Black outside. Cloak and speed North to a safe room.
  17. 17
    In the safe room, access the second Terminal for backup power. Input code 5868 to gain a 100 SP ACCOMPLISHMENT BONUS for overriding the second Backup Power Terminal. (Note: A bug may allow infinite skill points by repeatedly inputting the code).
  18. 18
    Access an elevator shaft via a grate. A Dead Body is inside, but no items. (Note: The HAZ LAB NANOKEY may be present in the original game version, but not in GotYE).
  19. 19
    In the adjacent room, a cabinet with an 80% Strength Lock contains two REBREATHERS, 7.62x51MM AMMO, a BIOELECTRIC CELL, 10MM AMMO, two MEDKITS, a MINI-CROSSBOW, and DARTS. Slice it open with the Dragon's Tooth to avoid alarming soldiers.
  20. 20
    Ascend the stairs. Take out two MJ12 Troopers at the top. A Gas Grenade or Pepper Gun is useful. Avoid explosions to prevent alarming other troops.
  21. 21
    Find crates with BALLISTIC ARMOR and 7.62x51MM AMMO. Head South, sticking to shadows to avoid troops on the ground and in the Southeast corner.
  22. 22
    If done correctly, you can overhear the Trooper giving orders to a female scientist. If the Trooper starts shooting before this dialogue, the scientist's dialogue cannot be triggered later.
  23. 23
    Take down the single Trooper without alerting those below, possibly by Cloaking.
