Experience by area (DXHR)

This page is dedicated to revealing the exact amount of experience points awarded during different stages of Deus Ex: Human Revolution with the goal of obtaining the most XP possible. By following this guide you should be able to unlock all available augmentations by the end of the game.

It contains major spoilers and presupposes good knowledge of the game's mechanics. Therefore it is not recommended as a guide on a first playthrough — refer to Deus Ex: Human Revolution walkthrough instead.

Originally this page was written for the "vanilla" version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution that came out in 2011, but it can also be used as a guide for the Director's Cut version of the game. Director's Cut integrated The Missing Link DLC and Explosive Mission Pack DLC into the main game and slightly altered the boss fights, but left all other areas of the game essentially unchanged. It also made unlocking all augs significantly easier thanks to the extra praxis points you earn in The Missing Link. The details and ramifications of these changes are discussed below.

Abbreviations

 * TOT: Total XP in a sub-section.
 * GTD: Getting Things Done (for completing a main mission objective).
 * COM: Completionist (for completing a side mission objective).
 * GHO: Ghost.
 * SMO: Smooth Operator.
 * SIL: Silver Tongue.
 * HAC: Covers the hacking bonuses Script Kiddie, Grey Hat, Black Hat, L33t Sk1llz and Master Hacker including XP bonuses from data nodes. Each device is listed as (LX+Y), where X is a difficulty level and Y is a sum of XP from all data nodes. Director's Cut also added Data Looter bonus which shows the sum of all extra XP bonuses from the captured data nodes. So now if, for example, you hack a Level 1 device with extra 150 extra XP instead of seeing Script Kiddie (25) + Script Kiddie (150) you will see Script Kiddie (25) + Data Looter (150).
 * EXP: Covers the exploration bonuses Traveler, Explorer, Pathfinder and Trailblazer
 * EBO: Scholar bonus for reading one of the 29 unique e-books. Reading all 29 of them will unlock the Doctorate achievement.
 * MAN(x): Number of enemies that reward you with combat XP in a particular part of the level. Note that many normally friendly NPCs may turn hostile to the player if attacked or provoked (cops in a DPD building, street policemen, armed civilians, etc.), but since no XP rewards are given for dealing with them they're not included in MAN count.
 * BOT(x): Number of bots (turrets, security bots and boxguards) in a particular part of the level
 * STD: Single Takedown.
 * DTD: Double Takedown. Double takedowns are listed in each part of a section like this: MAN(x)/DTD(y), where x is the number of enemies and y is the number of maximum possible double takedowns you can perform on them.
 * Extra XP bonuses added in the Director's Cut are shown in a turquoise color.

Sections summaries
At the end of each section you will find a summary for XP (note that DTD bonuses are listed as 25 XP, because effectively the difference between one DTD and two STDs is 125 - 2*50 = 25 XP):

SECTION SUMMARY

Section XP: N = (P1 + P2 + ...) (where Px is XP in each part of this section)

Combat XP: C = X + Y Maximum Section XP: N + C
 * MAN(X): where X = sum of all MAN(x) from each part of this section
 * Maximum DTD: D (D*2 enemies)
 * Maximum MAN(XP) = X = M*50 + D*25 = X1 + X2
 * BOT(A): where A = number of (T)urrets + number of (S)ecurity bots + number of (B)oxguards
 * Maximum BOT(XP) = Y = T*45 + S*45 + B*250 = Y1 + Y2 + Y3

Maximum XP: Maximum XP from previous section + Maximum Section XP

Changes in the Director's Cut version
The most significant change in the Director's Cut is the integration of The Missing Link into the main game, which made the task of acquiring all available augmentations significantly easier. You can earn up to a maximum of 30 extra praxis points during The Missing Link (14 through level-up and 16 through praxis kits) in addition to the 69 praxis points in the main game, which is more than enough to get you 68 praxis points and unlock every single aug.

However, technically, it's a bit more complicated. When you pick up your equipment from the ammunition case at the end of The Missing Link there is a script check that ensures that your total praxis count does not exceed 61 points. The extraneous praxis points that you may have earned before departing from Hengsha are discarded. So, for example, if you earn 50 praxis points before you start The Missing Link and 25 points in The Missing Link itself after you complete it you will only pick up 36 kits from the ammunition case. The remaining 14 kits will be discarded.

This means that you will NOT be able to unlock all augs at the end of The Missing Link, no matter how you play in the preceding parts of the game. You will still have to collect most of the XP rewards in Singapore and Panchaea to get to 68 praxis points. Even in a best case scenario you should only be able to finish the game with 70 praxis points (with 68 points to unlock every aug and 2 points unspent).

Practically, it means that you can be much more relaxed in how you approach the majority of the game and how many XP rewards you can miss. It should be very easy to accumulate 45-50 points in the main game before departing from Hengsha and 20-25 points in The Missing Link and reach the limit of 61 points. You don't have to hack every device or get every exploration bonus or even do every side-quest to get enough XP. Most importantly you don't have to worry about performing double takedowns, which was somewhat of a requirement in the original version if you wanted to get enough XP for 68 praxis points. Just use any weapon or method you want (lethal or not) to deal with enemies — if you collect the majority of other rewards it won't make much of a difference. You also don't have to worry about destroying bots.

Director's Cut also comes with Old Noodle Factory mission that previously was only available to the owners of the Augmented Edition of the game or through the Explosive Mission Pack DLC.

Another major change in DC is the overhauled boss fights — the first three boss fights to be precise, as The Hyron Project in DC is identical to its original version. There are a new options added in each boss' arena that can help you defeat those bosses and earn some extra experience. Mostly it's security terminals or doors that you can hack and bots or turrets that you can destroy for combat XP. These extra bonuses are shown in a turquoise color. The XP guide for The Missing Link can be found on its own page and will linked to separately after the Belltower's Port section.

Other than that there are no significant alterations to the XP rewards in Director's Cut compared to the original version of the game.

Most of the remarks in this guide concerning double takedowns or maximizing XP at the cost of killing certain NPC's (like soldiers in the prologue or Diamond Chan in Rotten Business side-quest) still apply to the original version of the game. If you're playing the Director's Cut you can just ignore them.

Combat XP and Double Takedowns (DTDs)
There will be a slight variation in earned XP depending on player's chosen combat tactics and story/dialogue choices. Since this is a guide on how to maximize XP all story-related decisions are geared towards enabling the player to engage the most enemies (without role-playing considerations) and are incompatible with certain achievements, notably the Pacifist and Good Soul and (probably) Foxiest of the Hounds. Though these cases are rare and clearly marked in the guide.

Every enemy in the game is presumed to be knocked out with at least single non-lethal takedown and double takedown (whenever possible) because they net the most XP (50 XP for STD, 125/2 = 62.5 XP for each enemy in DTD). In "Combat XP" sub-section of a section summary you'll find every enemy in a level listed along with a maximum number of possible DTDs.

DTD numbers aren't just for show — all of them were tested and verified numerous times. It is also possible (but hard) to earn every Ghost and Smooth Operator bonus and knock out as much as 90% of all enemies in the game with DTDs. This strategy was used throughout this guide and is fully examined in this Double Takedowns guide.

Some enemies are tied to side-quests and will not appear until you accept a quest or complete a particular objective. They are listed like this:

Location
 * Side-quest name:
 * MAN(x): Enemies tied to side-quest.

Augmentations build
Here is the list of augmentations required to get every XP reward listed on this page. This guide was done in stealth and takedowns-only playstyle so the augmentations choice reflects that too.

Mandatory augs
 * Quicksilver Reflex Booster (Multiple Take-Down): Enables the double takedowns and must be activated as soon as possible (ideally during the mission in the Sarif Manufacturing Plant). In this guide it is the first aug acquired.
 * Hacking: Capture (Level 2 + 3 + 4 + 5): Must be upgraded to level 5 during your first stay in Detroit to allow you to hack every available device. It also makes hacking generally easier and thus renders all other hacking augs (Hacking Stealth, Fortify, Analyze) practically useless: if you're going to capture every node to get all XP bonuses you should have a lot of "Nuke" and "Stop" viruses, so the occasional level 4-5 device won't be a problem.

Mandatory "single use" augs
 * Social Enhancer: Used to get additional 100 XP from officer Nicholas during the second visit to Detroit. Marginally useful in other cases: provides additional dialogue options and makes conversation battles easier — but never results in any additional XP options except this case.
 * Implanted Rebreather (Chemical Resistance): Required to enter the security room filled with toxic gas in Panchaea and hack the security terminal (500 XP). Every other gas-filled room in the game can be either avoided or cleaned of gas using a nearby valve.
 * Turret domination: Becomes really necessary only in Panchaea — right near the room that you need the Implanted Rebreather to enter. There are 2 inactive ceiling turrets overlooking the bridge which are controlled by the security hub in the gassed room. Turning the turrets back on to "default" state is the only way to get XP for destroying them. You'll probably have to use EMP grenades/mines or Laser rifle so as not to accidentally kill nearby enemies.

Non-mandatory, but highly useful augs
 * Punch Through Wall: Not necessary to break the weak walls (they can be destroyed with explosives or normal weapons), but without highlighting this aug provides it's rather hard to notice them unless you already know where to look. It will recoup its cost immediately: there is a praxis kit hidden behind breakable wall in Detroit sewers (below Derelict Row) and another kit in Hengsha sewers (below the Hung Hua Hotel).
 * Jump Enhancement: There is a lot of hidden places to explore which naturally requires a lot of jumping. And though every hidden place can be reached through crate stacking it's hardly worth the effort.
 * Icarus Landing System: Used to circumvent Adam's low tolerance for falling damage; comes in handy during the exploration, especially in Hengsha. Also there are few places that are hard to reach without this aug, notably the ventilation shaft in the Hengsha's Lower City Factory — but possible with some patience and exploiting of the game's physics (see this video).
 * Move/Throw Heavy Objects: Moving heavy objects will enable quick shortcuts through levels, provide new tactical opportunities and will make certain tasks (like stealthily hacking computers in the Police station) a lot easier.
 * Glass-Shield Cloaking System: Highly useful for aggressive non-lethal/Ghost playstyle. Some DTDs are very hard to perform without it.
 * Robot Domination: Makes it possible to activate the inactive security bots found throughout the high security areas of the game. Normally, bots stay inside their security stations and activate only after you trigger an alarm — which negates Smooth Operator bonus and (if bots see you) Ghost bonus. Reprogramming them to "friendly" status will 1) Activate them so they will roll out of the security stations 2) Protect you from losing the stealth bonuses 3) Enable you to destroy them as you see fit. Don't let them see the bodies of knocked out enemies, though: even if the bots are friendly to you they will ruin your Ghost bonus if they see their former allies. If you plan to use this aug, you will it need right from the start of Tai Yong Medical section. It comes useful in Panchaea. Alternatively, you can always simply destroy bots through walls with an EMP grenade or mine without bothering about upgrading this aug.

Few words about mandatory equipment:
 * The only mandatory item (if you're aiming for 100% completion) is an EMP grenade or mine — which is the easiest way to destroy the inactive security bot in the Panchaea's Ring section without triggering an alarm and forfeiting your Smooth Operator bonus. Another way to destroy it is by shooting it through walls with a laser rifle — but it takes up much more inventory space than grenade or mine.

Ghost / Smooth Operator bugs
There is a bug present in both console versions and the recent PC build (v1.4.651.0), where some Ghost and Smooth Operator bonuses may not be awarded to certain players when they complete an objective stealthily (see this video for illustration). The details about causes and occurrences are not clear, but it seems that it has something to do with save game files of former playthroughs. If you're not getting a bonus you think you should get, you're most probably affected by the bug. It is strongly recommended to remove all save game information before starting a new playthrough. For PC users, the files are located at .../Steam/userdata/*UID*/28050/. For affected console users, creating a new profile for each playthrough seems to be the way to go.

Sarif Industries - introduction
Although there is no HUD displaying it, all the enemies during the intro level yield XP. This is one of the situations where you have to kill someone in order to maximize XP. So if you're going for the Pacifist achievement at the same time, you will not be able to get all the listed XP bonuses. Takedowns or non-lethal neutralizations aren't possible, so you get a maximum of 20 XP (for head shots) per kill. SECTION SUMMARY
 * MAN(9): 9 spec ops invaders.

Maximum MAN(XP) = 180 = 9*20

Maximum XP: 180

Sarif Industries - first visit
Since we can't get any praxis points at this stage we cannot hack any of the (L2+) devices and should leave them all for later, including Jensen's computer (L3). Spending too long during your first visit will kill the hostages in Lab 1.
 * GTD(150): Talk to Pritchard about the retinal display.
 * EBO(200): Book on Pritchard's desk (1/29).
 * EXP(200): Vent shaft in the helipad service access area.
 * GTD(150): Board the chopper.

Additional XP:

Do this only if you're aiming for maximum XP and going to do all possible DTD in Sarif Plant, otherwise you will lose more XP than you gain. You can "metagame" a bit: use the code 4145 on the office #27 door lock and get these 3 bonuses (instead getting them on your return to Sarif Industries).
 * EBO(400): Two books in offices 25 and 27 (4&5/29).
 * EXP(100): Vent connecting offices 25-27.

SECTION SUMMARY

Maximum Section XP: 700/1200

Maximum XP: 880/1380

Sarif Manufacturing Plant
How to get second praxis point early It is possible to get second praxis point in the Sarif Plant BEFORE confronting Zeke Sanders and WITHOUT knocking out most of the enemies (see the video above). This way you can maximize your XP by activating Reflex Booster and performing as many DTDs as possible. Exactly how early it will become available depends on previous choices. In our case, we've killed every soldier in the Introduction (180 XP) and "meta-gamed" in Sarif Industries (1200 XP). With every possible XP bonus in Sarif Plant except for combat XP we should have: Intro:180 + SI1:1200 + SP1:800 + SP2:650 + SP3:1300 + SP4:550 = 4680 XP. Destroying the turret near the server room (45 XP) and knocking out 6 enemies with STD (6*50=300 XP) should get XP to 5025, which is enough for second praxis. Since we have to hack 10 computers in the Admin Building it's advisable to knock out 5 enemies there, plus one enemy from the lab before the serve room (with 5 enemies). It will leave 26 enemies to perform DTD on — and it is possible to knock all of them out with DTD (see the video to the right).

Part I - Enter the Complex

 * MAN(4)/DTD(2): 4 in the courtyard.
 * EXP(100): Electrified area on the roof.

Part IV - Deal with Zeke
Talk to Josie and Greg Thorpe after completing the secondary objectives to trigger a side-quest later on.


 * MAN(5)/DTD(0): 5 enemies around the cubicles (6 with Zeke Sanders, but he's not included since confronting him physically is suboptimal for XP). We have to knock out at least 6 enemies before we get enough XP for second praxis and Reflex Booster — it is recommended to perform STDs on these 5 in addition to one STD above.
 * EXP(100): Vent connecting restroom with office.
 * EBO(200): Book on a table in the room before Zeke (3/29).
 * HAC(275): 11 hackable computers (11xL1): 10 computers in the cubicles and 11th in the same room as Zeke.

Sarif Industries - second visit
You'll have to upgrade your "Hacking: Capture" aug to Level 5 to hack all the locked doors and computers in Sarif HQ during your stay in Detroit, so plan accordingly. Do not hack your own computer yet, first see the section Detroit City - First visit: "The Alley".


 * GTD(1000): Give Typhoon to Pritchard.
 * GTD(1000): Meet with Sarif.
 * COM(500): Go to my office. Accept Lesser Evils from Tim Carella.
 * HAC(825): 11 office doors (8xL2, 2xL3, L4) and the helipad storage door (L5), computer (L2) in office 32. Again, do not hack your own computer until you hack the door and safe in Thorpe's apartment.
 * HAC(575): Adam's computer (L3+500). Accept the side-quest One Good Turn Deserves Another and return to Thorpe to hack his safe again.
 * EBO(400/0): Two books in offices 25 and 27 (4&5/29).
 * EXP(300/200): 2 vents: between offices 25-27 and offices 32-34, the helipad storage (100 each).

SECTION SUMMARY

If you've followed the advice to maximize XP from the Sarif Industries - first visit section, then you'll lose some XP here, since you won't be able to hack office #27 door (L2) resulting in a loss of 50 XP. Also 500 XP = EBO(400)+EXP(100) are already included in "Section XP" above. But taking these bonuses early is actually beneficial for XP in the long run: with additional 500 XP you'll have to do 10 STD less in Sarif Plant and can perform 5 DTD instead: 5*25 = 125 XP. Even accounting for the missed HAC(50), this strategy still nets 125 - 50 = 75 XP more. We include this bonus in "Maximum XP" in this section and on this page in general.

Police Station
There are 2 different ways to finish the main mission objective Investigating the Suicide Terrorist:
 * 1) SIL(1000): Reach the morgue freely by convincing Haas to let you in.
 * 2) GHO(500)+SMO(250): Reach the morgue without permission, staying undetected.

The bonuses of methods 1. and 2. are mutually exclusive. In either case, none of the NPCs inside the station yield any XP, even if hostile. So even if you lose the persuasion game on purpose (Life Lesson (100)) and follow method 2, it is still 150 XP behind method 1.

The door to the morgue and one laser system terminal will turn green once you persuade Haas, losing their hacking bonus. So take the sewer entrance first and hack them beforehand.


 * HAC(50): Laser system terminal (L2) in the basement near the sewer entrance.
 * HAC(75): Morgue door (L1+50) (disabled after convincing Haas).
 * HAC(50): Laser system terminal (L2) securing door leading to the upper levels (disabled after convincing Haas). After you done these 3 hacks, exit using the sewers and reenter the police station through the main entrance.
 * SIL(1000): Convince Haas to let you in.

Basement, TOT(2900) (three hacks (175 XP) from the beginning of the level are not included):
 * GTD(1750): Retrieve the neural hub.
 * HAC(350): 2 alarm panels (2xL3+100).
 * HAC(250): Security hub (L2+200).
 * HAC(250): Coroner's computer (L2+200).
 * EBO(200): Book on the coroner's desk (10/29).
 * EXP(100): Vent between stairs and holding cells office.

Northern Detroit & Derelict Row
You may want to enter Derelict Row and neutralize all opposition before receiving either mission pertaining to it, so you don't risk your Ghost or secondary objective bonus.

Tai Yong Medical
It is generally possible to stealth rush all the objectives up to the final extraction at the hangar (see the Penthouse part) for the GHO/SMO bonuses and then return for the rest without having to worry about them. This could be the preferred way to handle this part if you have problems with stealth, as the civilians/security bots tend to blow your Ghost bonuses, sometimes for no obvious reason. Like, for example, if a bot sees a body of its former ally (even after you reprogram it to friendly status) your Ghost will get ruined.

Lower City Factory

 * MAN(5)/DTD(2)
 * BOT(2): 2 inactive security bots hidden inside security stations. You will need Robot Domination aug if you want to destroy them without risking triggering an alarm or losing Ghost bonus. Knock every human enemy first, hide their bodies, then reprogram the bots to friendly status using nearby security hub and destroy them. Alternatively, you can follow the advice above and rush through the areas and then return back, trigger alarm(s) and deal with the bots without fearing for stealth bonuses — but it will take more time and negate the Foxiest of the Hounds achievement. The easiest way to destroy them is with EMP grenades/mines — this way you won't need any additional augs, but you will still have to take down human enemies and hide their bodies from bots. These tactics apply to every other bot in Tai Yong Medical area.

Picus offices and landing pad. Room 404
Praxis kit (13/21) can be found in one of the cubicle drawers.

There are 3 ways to escape the ambush:
 * 1) Use the elevator (easiest and best XP).
 * 2) Jump down the opened elevator shaft.
 * 3) Break through the second wall from the server room (noisy and will auto-kill a guard for only 10 XP). We use the 1st route, so the elevator shaft EXP(300) bonus from the 2nd route is listed in the next part.

Detroit City - second visit
The LIMB clinic has restocked 2 praxis kits (14&15/21).

Quest-independent XP bonuses (EXP, HAC, EBO) listed in Detroit City - first visit section can be gained on second visit too if you've missed them. Only new XP rewards are listed in this section.

There was a rumor that closing already hacked doors and safes during the first visit to Detroit would make them hackable again on second visit. Turns out it's not true: neither gates, nor doors, nor safes get re-locked — only computers that were originally hackable. All other devices stay in the same state you left them. There is a single exception though — safe in Thorpe's apartment can be hacked for a third time, but its re-lock is likely a bug, considering that Greg Thorpe will initiate the same dialog from the One Good Turn Deserves Another quest when you talk to him.

Devices that can be hacked again on second visit, TOT(350): The police station can also be entered again (may require Smash the State side-quest) through the sewers, where lockers (a couple of pistols) and computers can be hacked again. (Maybe only in Director's Cut edition). Complete list needed.
 * HAC(25): Computer in Eastern Downtown Apartments (L1).
 * HAC(150): Computer in Northern Downtown Apartments, across Seurat (L2+100).
 * HAC(50): Computer in MCB gang's apartment (L2).
 * HAC(50): Computer in O'Malley's apartment (L1+25).
 * HAC(25): Computer in Chop Clinic (L1).
 * HAC(50): Safe behind the picture frame in Greg Thorpe's apartment (L2).

 * EXP(100): Air shaft accessible through vent.
 * GTD(750): Meet Sarif at my apartment.

 * GTD(750): Meet Malik on the roof of Chiron's building (leave the area).

DRB territory entrance

 * MAN(1): Another unnamed punk (this time with green mohawk) that unlike other civilians rewards you with normal combat XP.

Detroit Convention Center
There are two ways to handle the Finding Isaias Sandoval quest with the same result — Sandoval will be suicidal and you'll get a chance to talk him out of it. For the sake of XP we'll choose the second way. We'll have to skip the conversation battle with Taggart altogether because failing it on purpose for the Life Lesson bonus (100) will disable the option to plant the evidence on his computer: when Sarif will contact Adam he won't even mention it.

BUG: There is a persistent bug (unfixed as of 1.4.651.0 patch) that "locks" Sandoval into attacking the player in case if you choose to convince Taggart first, then reload a save and take the second path. Even if you plant the evidence, Sandoval will act like nothing happened, which may require replaying the whole Detroit section to fix. Choosing the second path on the first attempt (as we do here) will guarantee the suicidal outcome. If you want to get The Throwdown achievement for winning the social battle with Taggart, then make a save in the Convention Center, play until you confront Sandoval, make a save, then reload an earlier save and get the achievement safely.


 * 1) Convince Taggart to reveal Sandoval's location, TOT(2000):
 * 2) *SIL(1000): Convince Taggart to reveal Sandoval's location to you.
 * 3) *GTD(750): Obtain Sandoval's location from Taggart.

Accept this quest from officer Nicholas on your exit from the convention center. Exactly how many places Nicholas will ask you to investigate will depend on a dialogue choice of how calm him down. To get the maximum XP from this situation you'll need to activate the Social Enhancer augmentation. Omega pheromones: 2 places, Alpha pheromones/Chastise/Encourage: 3 places, Beta pheromones: 4 places. We'll choose the latter.

Hengsha - second visit
There is very little to do in Hengsha on second visit except main mission and side-quests. Of course, if you've missed some of the quest-independent XP rewards on first visit you'll have another chance to get them. The only new XP rewards available through free exploration are from 3 devices: As usual, you can purchase 2 praxis kits (17&18/21) from LIMB clinic. Also you can complete the optional objective by talking to LIMB receptionist.

Another 2 will spawn only if you refuse to pay the guy that tries to blackmail you when you pass near the Hung Hua Hotel (when you talk to him select "Decline").
 * MAN(13)/DTD(6): Harvesters in Youzhao district.

Construction site
It is hard, but possible to simultaneously 1) Save Malik 2) Do it with non-lethal takedowns (i.e. retain Pacifist status) 3) Get Ghost — see 1 and 2. Nevertheless it is suboptimal XP-wise, since you can't set up DTD while soldiers attack the helicopter (5 DTD possible after they destroy it and return to relaxed state). Since this is a "Maximum XP" guide, we'll choose the most rewarding route: leave Malik to her fate and run unseen to the elevator, receive Ghost, use the elevator again to get back down to the construction site then dispatch all soldiers with non-lethal takedowns and destroy the boxguard.
 * MAN(10)/DTD(5)
 * BOT(1): Boxguard that is dropped by helicopter either after a set time or when you cross the middle of the construction site.

Harvesters' hideout
This part was written based on the game with the Explosive Mission Pack DLC/Pre-order bonus. There is a single GTD(250) bonus that is awarded in this location for completing the DLC quest — it's included in the Old Noodle Factory section below. Enemy count is the same with or without the DLC.

You will need a Laser rifle later in Panchaea to destroy the security bot, so grab one after you meet with Tong

Although Harvesters' hideout is build like any other "serious" level it's impossible to get GHO/SMO here.
 * MAN(25)/DTD(12): Harvesters will respawn after you complete the Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device objective, so sweep the map clean of enemies before reporting to Tong. You will need to reenter the map or save and reload for the second group of harvesters (8) to appear.
 * 15 harvesters (from map entry to completing the Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device).
 * 8 harvesters (from completing the Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device to completing You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours).
 * 2 harvesters (from completing the You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours to acquiring Stowing Away). If you don't have the DLC they will appear along with a group above.

Old Noodle Factory
The main quest You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours set in the Old Noodle Factory is available only if you have either of these: 1) Director's Cut version of the game 2) Augmented Edition 3) Explosive Mission Pack DLC. If you have neither then you'll skip it and go straight to the Belltower's Port after finishing Find Vasili Sevchenko's GPL Device.

NOTE: If you are not playing Director's Cut and really want to get all augs by the end of the game (which requires at least 235000 XP) you better have this mission. Completing it results in 3500 additional XP, bringing the maximum XP in the game to 241970 (with 4350 XP from all possible 174 DTD bonuses included). Without this mission there is just 238470 XP in the game total (234245 XP without DTD bonuses), so you'll have very little room for error.

Belltower's Port
Outside area, TOT(5125):
 * MAN(10)/DTD(5): 4 patrolling the central area, 2 sitting inside the sheds, 2 heavies on lower level, 2 snipers on elevated ground. For the 4th and 5th DTDs you'll have to throw the snipers down from the catwalks to lower level using a heavy crate or a dumpster.
 * BOT(3): 1 ceiling turret, 2 active security bots (on the ground level and in gassed basement).
 * HAC(25): Security hub in the shed outside the gate (L1).
 * HAC(150): Computer in the shed outside the gate (L2+100).
 * GTD(750): Get inside Belltower's Port.
 * thumb|400px|right|Locking the security hub in Belltower's Port without losing any stealth bonusesHAC(475): 2 security hubs in the sheds in central area (L3, L4+300). NOTE: L3 hub in the shed close to the gate will turn hackable only after the guard sitting in front it goes into hostile or high alert state. To hack it without compromising Ghost bonus use the same trick as in the Detroit police station: first, hurt the guard making sure he doesn't see you and only then knock him out (see the video). The safest way to accomplish this (if you have the DLC) is by throwing a UR-DED near the guard.
 * HAC(325): 2 computers inside the sheds in central area (L3+100, L2+100).
 * EXP(200): Vent shaft beneath the stairs that leads to the gassed corridor.
 * HAC(1075): 5 doors (garages and basement access) on lower level (L2+150, 2xL2+200, L3, L4+200).
 * HAC(100): 2 doors (on ground level and catwalks) leading to loading bay (L1, L3).
 * EXP(200): Vent connecting the outside area with loading bay.
 * HAC(25): Door leading to the locker with Tong's package (L1).
 * HAC(50): Alarm panel in the shed (L2).
 * GTD(1000): Retrieve Tong's package from the shed.
 * GHO(500)
 * SMO(250)

Loading bay, TOT(2460):
 * MAN(8)/DTD(4): 7 guards and Narhari Khan (only if he wasn't killed on any of two previous occasions).
 * BOT(2): 1 turret, 1 boxguard that is dropped by helicopter through the roof in the middle of the room when you trigger an alarm.
 * It is possible to trigger an alarm which spawns the boxguard, letting you destroy it and get the XP for it, and receive Ghost + Smooth Operator bonuses at the same time. Be warned! Doing this will negate the Foxiest of the Hounds achievement.
 * Dispatch all human enemies on the level silently and hide their bodies (so the boxguard won't see them) as you normally would when going for GHO/SMO.
 * Save and finish the level to check whether you got GHO/SMO for Place the C4 on administrator Wang's desk objective. On arrival in Singapore you won't be able to see the XP bonuses pop up on the screen, so you'll have to confirm this manually by comparing your total XP before and after. Ideally total XP count should increase by 1750 = GTD(1000) + GHO(500) + SMO(250).
 * Reload the earlier save. Hack the security hub under the stairs in the loading bay and turn off the camera. Destroy the camera and go back to the bay's entrance — you should hear an alarm go off and the boxguard will soon be dropped by the helicopter.

The Missing Link (Director's Cut only)
Experience by area guide for The Missing Link.

The Missing Link was previously a separate DLC, but in the Director's Cut version it was integrated into the main game. At the start of TML you lose all the augmentations you've earned up to this point and have to start from scratch, even though your total XP count won't be reset. At the end of The Missing Link you will get your equipment and praxis points back, but with a small twist — your total count of praxis points (i.e. what you had before TML + what you earned in TML itself) will not be allowed to exceed 61 points. Any surplus praxis points will be lost.

If you follow this guide you can potentially earn 62 praxis points by the end Belltower Port chapter (19 from praxis kits and 43 from XP), which already exceeds the limit of what you can keep after you complete The Missing Link. In that case everything you earn in TML won't carry over to the next chapter (Singapore). Of course, it's up to you to decide whether or not it's worth hunting for the XP rewards that you won't be able to put to use in any way.
