Chapter 4: Walk-Through

Deus Ex is a complex action-adventure role-playing game with multiple solutions to most puzzles. The following walk-through offers one or more solutions to each problem. Thorough exploration and experimentation may uncover even more solutions.

Mission 1
JC Denton starts on Liberty Island at a dock - he has just come off a police boat. Look to the left and you can spot the remnants of the Statue of Liberty, torn to pieces by the civil unrest of this near-future world. You begin the game with a pistol (with little ammunition) and a prod, a weapon that can incapacitate enemies with a jolt of electricity. The prod contains a limited number of charges, which can be replenished as long as you locate the ammunition. JC also carries a medical kit to repair injuries.

Move forward along the dock and you'll receive a message from Alex Jacobson. Alex instructs you to locate your brother, Paul Denton, somewhere on the dock. Make contact with Paul and receive your mission orders.

Advance a bit farther down the dock to encounter Paul Denton. Initiate conversation and receive your mission orders. Apparently NSF terrorists have gained control of Liberty Island and are holding a UNATCO agent hostage inside the Statue of Liberty ruins. Paul indicates that the powers that be wish to send you in alone to recover the hostage.

Primary Goal: The NSF seems to be directing the attack from the statue. Get inside and locate the threat.

Secondary Goals: Meet UNATCO informant Harley Filben at the north docks. He has a key to the statue doors. One of UNATCO's top agents is being held inside the statue. Break him out, and he'll back you up against the NSF.

Paul hands over several pieces of important information, including the password "iron and copper," which you'll use when approaching the UNATCO informant Harley Filben. Paul hands over a Liberty Island satellite photo providing the relative location of the northern docks, the statue ruins, and the UNATCO HQ. Paul also offers you a choice of one of three weapons to assist you in taking down NSF terrorists and security bots. Select a weapon that complements the skill points you used at the beginning of the game.

Choose the sniper rifle if you are trained in rifle skills and you prefer eliminating NSF terrorists from afar. Select the GEP gun for use against heavy armor targets, or choose the minicrossbow to silently fire upon enemies - the minicrossbow is especially lethal when you use tranquilizer darts.

Explore the UNATCO communications van to find some supplies.

Before heading onward, check the supply crates along the right side of the docks and spot the crowbar. Pick up the crowbar and use the blunt steel weapon to bust the crates. Snatch the binoculars and the lockpick. Search the left side of the docks to find steps leading down into the water. Descend and swim toward the supply crates inside the metal cage. Use the crowbar on the crates and grab the multitool and bioelectric cell.

A UNATCO soldier, Corporal Collins, also wanders the docks. Speak with him for additional information. Corporal Collins reveals that Gunther apparently went rogue and won't pull back when ordered.
