Deus Ex - Nonlethal Walkthrough - Battery Park

[@quarkmac]

Wow, I last commented on this series of videos SIX years ago. I still am amazed by the professionalism and quality of them and I applaud shido for creating such an enjoyable and informative series. Bravo.

[@shido534]

Thanks. Video quality changes over time, but my walkthrough style probably won't ever.

[@quarkmac]

@@lopanreturns7085 Wow, my word time flies!! (Boy, do I miss that annotations feature, shido...)

[@quarkmac]

I agree. EXCELLENT JOB. I study these videos all the time. Since I know you like to get all the credits you can get, there are some easily accessible ones at 4:01 on a small ledge that you can use the medical crate to reach easily.

[@ash0ppingcart]

damn, the ambient music in this game make the experience so great!

[@shido534]

All passwords are entered manually on the PC, but all datacubes and important information are automatically added to the "Goals/Notes" screen.

[@shido534]

@warellis I don't do anything with the extra ammo, and I did allocate my skill points at the start of the game.

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

There is a prod charger next to the pillar in the train station, you can see the sillhouette of it at 9:20 on the right of the screen.

[@shido534]

@Superlagg This is a walkthrough where I kill as few people as possible, not where I save as many as possible (and for a short period of time; even if all of the NSF survived Battery Park, Simons likely would have them killed).

[@shido534]

I did activate the laser, but I suppose it's not very visible on KZbin. You might be able to catch its reflection at the top of the road barrier at 6:53. I didn't care which weapon got the scope because I would never use it for aim; it's just too unstable without weapon skill upgrades.

[@shido534]

I've played through a few times, each with different skill sets and augs, but if you read the comments for my videos you'll find that I missed a few things. Good luck with the flamethrower when you meet the commandoes.

[@shido534]

@Octavium Yeah, when you return to the surface after finding the Ambrosia, Anna will run towards you. If there are NSF grunts in the way, then they're goners. Guess you weren't quite emulating me. :P

[@shido534]

@SilvahDot I used each one of them on my weapons literally seconds after I picked them up.

[@shido534]

@Octavium I don't get the NSF to run into the tunnels. Anna and the NSF will fight each other at some random time, but I found the Ambrosia and fled before that time passed.

[@shido534]

Anything I blow up with the GEP Gun in this level is optional, so the one lockpick I use in this video would suffice.

[@NorItu]

Wow, really didn't know about that tunnel. Next playthrough incoming!!

[@ajbunga]

1:12 lmao, you equip the candy bar and ran at him with it ^_^

[@juacal]

LOL, I liked the end part when you brought the crate into the train!

[@shido534]

@warellis I just pick up any type of ammo because I can.

[@shido534]

For doors and safes, LAMs will do. I like to hang onto the GEP gun for small/medium bots.

[@bediest]

These videos are a great walkthrough, I feel as though I played the game myself. (I guess it helps that I recognize a lot of things)

[@shido534]

@SilvahDot The first conversation in the game, that's fucking where!

[@warellis]

@shido534 If you don't do anything with the extra ammo, why pick it up? Does picking it up prevent enemies from having reloads or something? For instance, in Metal Gear Solid 3, destroying the storage areas where ammo is stored, the enemies will eventually run out of rifle ammunition and have to switch to pistols. Is it the same here when you take the ammunition?

[@DarthVadent2]

@shido534 Well, you could employ an alternative approach I suppose. But if you obsessively hoard items like myself, you'll want to use them as sparingly as possible. I never spend any of my Credit Chits, in spite of the fact that they have no inherent monetary value.

[@joebear95]

I find it easier to use the baton then the prod. The baton works just as well with combat strength and doesn't require ammo. This is especially true with MJ12 commandos. I can't knock them out with the prod, but with a baton I can easily knock them unconscious.

[@DannyEastes]

When Anna talked to me after the mission, she says "You are not afraid to kill." despite the fact I killed NO ONE. What?

[@Ocelot60]

what if you forgot a code do you have to enter the passwords manually on the pc?

[@shido534]

The 50 skill points aren't really worth the risk of being caught by the NSF (during the conversation).

[@aliencatcrew3336]

Your suppose to get a 40 point accomplishment bonus for going through those ducts HOWEVER IM PLAYING THE ORIGINAL NOT GAME OF THE YEAR ADDITION SO I DONT KNOW

[@DarthVadent2]

You can supercede the use of several Multitools or Lockpicks by pressing F1 (Inventory) and waiting 20 to 30 seconds. It's an unresolved glitch in the game.

[@kentglass3894]

amazing game. remake would be incredible on ps5

[@warellis]

This walkthrough has been a dream to watch. Two question though, what exactly do you do with all the ammo you pick up, since it's a non-lethal walkthrough? Do you sell the ammo? Also how come you didn't increase any of your skills with the skill points in the part prior to the start of the game?

[@АртёмКривоносов-р4щ]

Nice walkthrough, thank you!

[@arHei777]

@Neworbs same here

[@shido534]

I doubt it's the stealth weapon per se that alerts the enemies because that's never happened to me. I suspect that you're killing the enemy from afar with one shot from an unsilenced weapon; but when you use the stealth weapon, you don't get the instant kill, allowing him to alert others. Or perhaps you just have a different, buggy version of the game.

[@shido534]

@jimmyboy2021 I quicksaved and loaded at that point.

[@kjsh987]

@shido534 so you just neutralize.u dont kill?

[@shido534]

@DarthVadent2 I think powerful bugs like that shouldn't be exploited.

[@shido534]

@Plausiblesarge I've seen the HDTP on KZbin but I'm not really that interested.

[@kjsh987]

when its nonlethal is because in the mission u dont must kill people or u dont kill people because you dont want?

[@shido534]

@kjsh987 "Neutralize" often means kill. "Incapacitate" is a better word.

[@GAGFEST2000]

were can i get this??? looks kind fun :)

[@Chayraz2]

being non leathal would be easy if you had stealth augs early on, but deus ex is a smart game, it makes you EARN your ninjahood.

[@shido534]

@SilvahDot What weapon mods?

[@recoveringhobo]

Thanks for the great walkthrough, but I have one question. Is it possible to complete the level with only 2 lockpicks at the start? Because I have tried it multiple times and I can't finish the level because of my lack of lockpicks.

[@shido534]

You got credit for the UNATCO troops killing the NSF.

[@levimon]

why do you pick up ammo if you're not killing anyone?

[@wonkamcfrojin9753]

Some good ass quality for 2008, my god

[@shido534]

There was actually such thing as a "high quality" setting back then, so I configured my video encoder accordingly. That's why these support 480p now.

[@Vaporifix]

How many times have you played through DX? You seem to know it front and back so far. Great walkthrough btw, I've been playing it somewhat stealthy but if I screw up I just flamethrower most of the guys as they run at me lol.

[@wYeL333]

I actually guessed the code to the kiosk, I think it was 666 from what I remember.

[@shido534]

@kjsh987 In spite of all the grammatical errors, I believe the latter.

[@shido534]

It's for the sake of viewers who don't wish to go purely nonlethal.

[@niteshmurti]

hey shido! sorry if this is in ur faq already but why do u collect so many flares? u dont even use them hehehe!!

[@PurooRoy]

Wait, we could smash crates this whole time?

[@shido534]

The wooden ones, yes.

[@Mark-qn2oy]

Don't despise training my boy you must be skip the training

[@PurooRoy]

@@Mark-qn2oy I had done the training part months ago and then I started the story, so I forgot that bit.

[@Mark-qn2oy]

@@PurooRoy yeah,

[@congakoenig]

great Videos! I love this game...

[@mikkelandreasen9152]

Yes, experience this game :-) Play it with DXT - it's the most polished, up to date, and fixed version of Deus Ex! www.moddb.com/mods/deus-ex-transcended

[@shido534]

@WarhawkDrier Batman but with better shades.

[@neterwan]

Cool Vid! Very informative!

[@LuminousPath13]

you can find it on Steam for ten bucks i think.

[@recoveringhobo]

Oh, and I also did not choose a rocket launcher.

[@shido534]

@crozan11 Google it.

[@fratnyazgs5843]

I am better than you JC.

[@shido534]

You mechs might have copper wiring to re-route your fear of pain, but I've got nerves of steel.
