Tips
- Saving Malik is recommended for the "Good Soul" trophy/achievement.
- If aiming for the Pacifist trophy/achievement, load your save after getting "Good Soul" and exit the area, or use cloak with Gas Grenades and takedowns, which requires energy bars.
- Running with cloak is also useful for the "Ghost" trophy/achievement.
- Be prepared to use EMP Grenades or Typhoon augmentation against the Box Guard.
- Heal with Hypostims or Painkillers if necessary during combat.
