Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the previous area, head back to the Talos I Lobby and re-enter "Psychotronics Staff Only".
  2. 2
    In the Psychotronics Foyer, peek into the right room. You can shoot the sparking junction box with your GLOO GUN to stop the electricity and then repair it. This room contains some [_SPARE PARTS_] and a broken recycler.
  3. 3
    Head back to the hallway and down the staircase. A phantom patrols here. You can optionally use the "Combat Focus I" Security skill to defeat it and earn the "Dead Calm" Bronze Trophy.
  4. 4
    At the bottom of the stairs, turn right to find [_FRAYED WIRE_] behind cargo.
  5. 5
    Continue straight to find "Joel Weeks Corpse" and loot the [_PETRI DISH SAMPLE_].
  6. 6
    Enter Psychotronics proper. A new objective will appear: OBJECTIVE: Access the G.U.T.S.
  7. 7
    Head forward, shoot the junction box with your GLOO GUN, and repair it. The toolbox contains [_GLOO CANISTER x19_].
  8. 8
    Look down into the pit. Kill the mimic and loot "Otto Lauda Corpse" for a [_TEST TUBE SAMPLE_] and [_9MM BULLETS x7_]. Grab the nearby [_BURNT CIRCUIT BOARD_] and [_BROKEN COOLER FAN_].
  9. 9
    Go to the "Security Station". Hack the door (Hacking II) to enter the security room. Loot the [_SILENCED PISTOL_], [_FIRED HARD DRIVE x2_], and [_GLUCASSIST!_] from the desk.
  10. 10
    Check the central PC for an area map, door unlock command, crew list, and [_EMAIL 78: APPREHENDING DR. GALLEGOS_].
  11. 11
    Loot the desk for [_9MM BULLETS x15_], [_WEAPON UPGRADE KIT_], and another [_GLOO CANISTER x19_]. Find the "Behind the Iron Curtain" book.
  12. 12
    Proceed past the security area into the clean room preparation area. Kill the mimic and phantom (identified as "Crispin Boyer"). Find "The Starbender Cycle: Book 3: Spatial Delivery" in the locker area.
  13. 13
    Enter the male clean room. Find a [_WRENCH_] in the toilet, which can be used to pull out a mimic, yielding a [_MIMIC TUMOR_].
  14. 14
    Head to the large hole in the floor. Loot "Allison Brady's Corpse" for [_BIOHAZARD WASTE_], [_GLOO CANISTER x27_], and a [_PSI HYPO_].
  15. 15
    Drop down to find a [_MEDKIT_]. A cargo box blocks one path, and Gloo blocks the other.
  16. 16
    Use a recycler charge to clear the cargo box, revealing [_GLOO CANISTER x43_] and the [_NULLWAVE SHIELDING 21.4GHZ_] chipset.
  17. 17
    Go through the Gloo Wall. Kill the mimic frozen by a corpse. Loot "Janos Jazsef" for the [_PSYCHOSCOPE_], [_PETRI DISH SAMPLE_], [_MIMIC DETECTION GEN 1_], [_NEUROMOD x2_], and a [_TYPHON ORGAN_]. This triggers the "Psychoscope Tutorial".
  18. 18
    Use the Psychoscope near the hole to see a mimic and phantom that move away.
  19. 19
    Head up and attempt to get the first level of research from the phantom, which unlocks "Kinetic Blast I" from the neuromods.
