User:Alqualos/TYM Iron Man guide

This article is a part of Deus Ex: Human Revolution Iron Man Guide. It covers the Die Young Tai Yong Medical part. It is essential to have Icarus by now, and it's a good idea to have hacking level 4 and gas/electricity protection. Silent sprint (but not jump yet) is also highly recommended by the time you get past the data core room. Robot domination is useful towards the end.

Entering the restricted area
This part is very easy. Save Lee any way you can, possibly using gas protection and/or hacking, or maybe just an AUD or the nearby pocksec. Even if you fail to save Lee somehow, just bribe Kim instead. Or bluff your way through, as you don't have to go down that stairs at all. Just don't threaten him.

Getting through the restricted area
Hack the catwalk control. If you saved Lee, Kim shouldn't mind. I'm not sure if that's still the case if you bribed him or bluffed, so you may wish to check this on your practice run or just take him down (although I'm not sure if it's safe to do).

You may wish to go to the catwalk before moving it, for extra XP and goodies. Then go back, move it, and go up to the catwalk once again, using it to cross to the farthest entrance. Enter the vent and drop down using Icarus. You'll eventually emerge in a room with two guards. Now wait until the guard on the bridge starts to walk away, then turn your cloak on, crawl outside and sprint to the exit door. If you have cloak level 3, you can easily do it all with only one energy cell. This is a very tricky moment, but very easy once you get the hang of it. Once through the door, step aside and recharge.

There is one guard patrolling the hallway up the stairs so take him down carefully. It should be easy. If you managed to screw up something during the tricky part below and things got hot, run upstairs like mad and headshoot the guard with the pistol quickly using a corner as a cover, then run to the elevator before the guys below catch up with you. If you managed to remain undetected, explore a bit before going up the elevator.

The Pangu
Nobody is here, so relax and explore. If you have both Icarus and electricity protection, it should be absolutely safe. If you don't have electricity protection, then hack the door using either hack level 4 if you have it, or an AUD, then turn the breaker switch. Before going up to the labs using the upper elevator, do not forget to drop down the vent shaft to get the security card, not to mention additional XP and other goodies.

The upper city labs
Explore a bit, avoiding the security room. Then enter the labs using your pass card from the vent shaft. Once inside, explore a bit more, and don't forget the Praxis kit on the second floor. The XP book in the lab is also easy to miss. Once ready, go up the stairs to the data core room area.

The data core room
Ignore the guard and go right. Here comes the fun part. Sit down near the laser grid. Once the guard comes and the laser grid turns off, move slightly to the right. The guard apparently doesn't mind your behavior at all. Once he turns away, quickly slip through the laser grid before it turns back on. Now just follow the guard and take him down.

Go look around the corner. There are two guys patrolling. You should see one of them, the other one comes from the central passage and goes back, so you don't see him most of the time. Wait until the moment when this guy goes back inside the central passage and the one patrolling the passage you're looking through has his back to you. Now take him out using the tranquilizer rifle, then carefully run to him and hide his body. If you chose the right moment, you'll have more than enough time to crawl there so don't run. Now it is necessary to take out the remaining guy because you're about to punch through a wall and that guy will hear you. It should be easy.

Now go around the corner where you probably hid the body of the first guard (or second, starting from the moment you crossed the laser grid). There is a room with two boxes. Move them and you'll see a weak wall. it wasn't highlighted because the boxes prevented you from punching through it. Now do it and enter the air duct inside. If you took down both guards nobody should hear you. If someone heard you, hide inside the air duct and wait, but they will probably revive those guys and you'll loose the ghost bonus.

Now crawl through the air duct. Plan carefully your way through the data core room. If you're careful, you can avoid spending precious candy bars, and they can save your life later. First turn the cloak on, exit the vent, drop down and hide behind an electronic block that is ahead of you and to the right. The moving lasers are blocked by it, so it's safe to recharge there. Your next stop should be behind the glass panel that is across from the entrance to some sort of storage room with a vent hidden behind a box. The opaque wall below the glass panel provides enough cover from both the guards and the lasers. Recharge, turn on the cloak, crawl inside, move the box and dive quickly inside the vent.

Follow the air duct. You emerge right inside the inner security room. Here comes the fun part two. Hack the panel to the right. The guys won't see you. Turn off the lasers. The guards still don't seem to mind. Take down the guard sitting right next to you and drag his body inside the vent you came from. Now get back and hack his security hub. Turn off the camera. Leave the remaining guys alone. You can't take them down even if you have the reflex booster because one of them is standing, the other one is sitting and the devs apparently were too lazy to implement the proper animation for such a case.

Crawl back to the storage room or whatever it is. You can be seen by the guards while out in the open, so turn your cloak on, crawl outside and move to the right. Once you are at the wall with the security room window, take cover by it and move along it. The guards won't see you now so it's safe without the cloak. Now move carefully along this wall and enter the elevator. If you did everything right you even get the ghost bonus. If the guards notice you, just run to the elevator as fast as you can with your cloak on and leave them behind.

The upper level
This level is hard. Once past the stupid laser puzzle, things get difficult. You enter a large room with a passage patrolled by a heavy. What's worse, there's a camera and another guy patrolling between desks. It is rather hard to take out both without messing up anything so you better don't. Instead, move carefully across the room, hack the door and enter the security room. Do it when the heavy is looking away, but once you're next to the security hub inside, you can't be seen, so take your time, hack it and disable the camera.

Now move outside, eat a candy bar and take cover behind the corner. Wait until the heavy is out of the way, turn on silent sprint and the cloak (in that order) and run like mad to the door. Now, it's hard to plan this carefully enough, so the other guy may see you open the door. It's OK, just move quickly along the hallway and enter the first door on your right. The guy will investigate the door but will find nothing suspicious.

Now exit the room (if you had to hide there) and plan your next move. There is a security room with two guards nearby who can see you through the glass so be careful. Turn on your cloak and run to the next objective door. You can't be heard so no silent sprint is necessary. One energy cell is enough so save candy bars. When you reach the door, do not enter it yet. Instead, take cover to the right of the door (so the security guys can't see you). Wait for recharge, turn your cloak on and run inside and under the camera.

Proceed across the room, wait for recharge and punch through the wall. Now just enter the elevator when the camera is looking away.

The penthouse
Explore, take everything and open the vents. Study your escape path carefully. After the silly cutscene, run forward, jump down and enter the vent to the right. Be careful as you move through the barred sections since they can see you there. Use the cloak. Wait for recharge before exiting, eat a candy bar, turn on the cloak, exit and sprint to the elevator. Don't bother with silent run, it will take them a while to figure out what's going on and you'll be in the elevator by that time. Just try not to bump into anyone.

The helipad should be easy if you have robot domination. Just move carefully to the right, then, when the bot is far enough and looking away, jump down. Using boxes and barrels as cover, move along, then wait for the bot to walk away and run to the stairs. There is enough cover on the stairs if you're careful so move up the stairs, stopping at cover when needed. Enter the door, cross to the other side carefully and hack the security hub to turn off the bots.

If you don't have robot domination or enough Praxis points to get it, spend a couple of EMP grenades on those bots. Just be sure to use cover so they don't kill you. There is at least one EMP grenade in one of the rooms above if that helps.

Now fly to Montreal to continue.
