Praxis Kit



Praxis kits are consumable items in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
After somebody receives mechanical augmentations, it is common for many of the new features to be "locked" so that the body does not get overwhelmed and eventually reject the augment. Traditionally, these abilities "unlock" themselves through prolonged usage of the augmentations, thus allowing the body to become accustomed to the new features slowly, however Praxis kits, distributed mainly from L.I.M.B clinics, allow this system to be bypassed manually and release new features at the users own free will.

This method is usually not offered, but on rare occasions when a patient's body accepts the augmentations with greater ease, the Praxis kits can be used to advance the process without the need for prolonged use of the augmentation.

David Sarif uses his influence, through generous donations, to give Adam Jensen the Preferred Customer status, and as such he can purchase Praxis kits at L.I.M.B. clinics if he so chooses. Vera Marcovic, a doctor in Detroit's clinic stresses however, that this must be done of Adam's own free will, not Sarif's or anyone else.

Characteristics
Upon acquisition, each kit will immediately award the player with one Praxis point. Praxis kits may either be purchased for 5000 credits at various LIMB clinics, or may be found while exploring. It is worth noting that clinics in Detroit and Hengsha will restock upon return visits to these areas.

Detroit

 * Inside a box shortly after exiting an elevator in the Sarif Industries Milwaukee Junction factory.
 * Detroit Downtown Apartments, third floor of the westmost building, inside an illegal augmentation 'chopshop' with a level 5 security door (code to get in: 2356), then hack the level 2 terminal, then hack the level 1 computer for the final code into the area with the kit).
 * 2011-08-27_13.14.44.jpg the sewers beneath Derelict Row. These are accessible from a manhole cover in the bushes along the wall on the right side of the entrance to the first building, or from a manhole in the construction site below the antenna. The kit is in a hidden area accessible by breaking through a wall. Location of wall is shown by Jensen icon in the image. (ie. the white-bluish arrow in the at the west end of the map. Enlarge the image for clarity.)

1st visit

 * LIMB clinic - two can be bought for 5000 credits each. (On his first visit to the LIMB clinic, Adam is given 5000 credits to spend, effectively making the first Praxis kit free if he chooses to buy one.)

2nd visit

 * One in Isaias Sandoval's apartment across the street from Adam's place. It is connected to 2 EMP mines hidden under the body that should be disconnected before grabbing the kit if the player does not have EMP resistance. The trap will not be there if Zeke Sanders has been killed by the player prior to this point; so long as he is alive, regardless of whether he is jailed or set free, the trap, and the Praxis kit, will be there.
 * LIMB clinic - two can be bought for 5000 credits each.

Hengsha

 * Behind a breakable wall in the sewers below the Hung Hua Hotel in Hengsha, (From the ladder to the hotel go left and wall is opposite a stack of matresses).
 * In the bottom of an elevator shaft in Hengsha Court Gardens. (Access from the southwest roof via a hackable door or breakable wall or through the upper floor vent shaft on the left of the elevator as you exit.)

1st visit
