DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION

You can get this Achievement if you arive the 2nd Time in Hengsha. After the Crash you can try to save Malik's life by killing the other Guys quickly. Preferably with a Sniper and a EMP Granate/Tyhoon for the Mech.

If you want to get the Pacifist Achievement, you need a Stun-Gun and a EMP Granate. Carefull with the EMP Grante, or kill the Soldiers first, the Explosion from the Mech maybe kill one or two Soldiers!

*Non-Lethal* Solution

If you want to do go for the Non- Non-Lethal version of this achievement and save the girl this is what you will need:

Augmentations:
Dermal Armor 3/4 (EMP Shielding is not necessary)

Icarus landing System (saves time)


Weapons
Stun Gun (the Tranq rifle won’t work!! I tired the Tranq rifle 10 times and it was FAIL BOAT)

10 Stun Gun Bolts (if you have less than 10 you might be able to do it but 10 will make this much easier and the more Bolts the better!!)

EMP grenade (MANDATORY!! If you don’t have an EMP grenade then don’t bother)


Supplies
2-3 Hypo-stems (to regen Health)


Strategy

Save as soon as soon as you crash just in case you need to do this 2-3 times to get your timing down. They don’t give you much time so speed and targeting is critical. The good news is the guys are fixated on the crash to pay much attention to you. There will be a few guys in the build to the right and only a couple guys in the building to the left.

As soon as the action starts have you Stun Gun and EMP grenade equipped. Drop down to the rubble and work your way around the right side of the crash. Start taking out guys with the stun gun working you way counter clockwise around the crash. Aiming is critical since the reload time is slow and you won’t have too many stun bolts to miss with. So focus you attention on the (2) heavy weapons guys. Taking them out early will give you more time since they do the most damage to the ship. After you take out the first (5) or so guys on the ground you should hear a helicopter. This will drop the Mech. If you at the back of the map by the door they drop the Mech right in front of you. You will be fine since the Mech is focused on the crash he can’t see you. Just throw the EMP at it as soon as it lands. Facing the Mech, now turn 180 and in the back right of the map should be stairs. Take out the two guys on the second floor and then go up the ladder on the left and take out the last guy on the third floor. Now jump down (Icarus landing System helps save time taking the stairs) and go to the other building. Facing the building the stairs will be in the back on the right. There might be a guy in here so look for him. If he is there he will be easy to spot. Then go upstairs and take out the last guy.

You will take a lot of rifle fire so use the hypo-stems as necessary. If you run out of stun gun bolts you should have enough time to melee the few remaining guys that are left. If Malik comes on line and tells you “you’re on your own” reload and retry. I did this method 3 times to make sure I didn’t fluke it, so it worked for me all three times.

This is how i got it. I did not prepare for this part so I had to make do with what i had.

If you have more stock of the equipment that I have mentioned below then you'll have an easier time than I did. It took me 6 tries to get the achievement.

Method:
NON LETHAL

Difficulty:
Give Me Deus Ex

Weapon: Stun Gun with 9 bolts only , Tranq Dart, 1 EMP, 1 concussion, 2 candy bars, 1 painkiller pills,

Augments that helped me: Fast charging battery, EMP and concussion resistance and max armor, double take down, Icarus


As soon as you are able to control Jensen, Jump down to your right side to work the map counterclockwise. As soon as you touch down, throw a concussion grenade at the center (in between maliks ride and the two heavy gunners. This will stun them giving you time to move up and Stun Gun the first assault guy on the right. Then move to the full wall that is between you and the heavy gunners. This should be a wall near the stairs parallel to the right most walls(edge of map) and facing the opposite building

At this time just before the chopper drops the robot you can stun the 1st heavy gunner. The second one will start shooting at you and move to you. Use the stun gun on him too. Stay in cover while shooting the stun gun A'la R6 Vegas/Graw ! This will focus their attention on you and not at Malik. **On one instance both of the heavy gunners actually came up to me and i was able to do a double take down and run back in cover and take pain killers. This works too, I only failed then because only at the last part, I missed one assault guy and he shot me.**

The 3rd guy hiding near the barrels next to them sometimes moves to close you -stun him. if not leave him for when the chopper drops down the Mech.

At this point the chopper should drop the mech. Before the mech pops out of the box throw (from behind cover) the EMP and this will damage the Mech before it can start shooting Malik. If you have not stunned the guy hiding in the barrels, the mech explosion will knock him out he's far enough so it wont kill him ( i checked and saw zzz's when i searched him afterward.)

Those are the ones that will do damage to Malik's ride fast. At this time you can then start taking out the remaining soldiers. You'll have enough time to do so without worry. Assault first then Snipers.

If youre still at the wall, then above you are two Assault and 1 sniper. Before going up the stairs check left to make sure the guy near the barrels is out. and start moving up the stairs, the two assault guys will not be facing you and are busy shooting at Malik.
Take them out, take down first then stun gun. This allows you time to recharge the battery. Go up the ladder to take out the sniper
From this point you can take out one assault guy on the building to the left corner of the map using your dart gun or just go down (jump down from the 3rd floor if you have Icarus) There should be 2 more assault guys and one sniper. Take them out.

The achievement will pop once Malik thanks you and flies out.

The 3 tries i failed were only at the last 3 guys - they did not kill malik but me - only because I couldn't find them in time and they had the drop on me. On the 6th try, I knew where they would be.

If she starts saying youre on your own. Reload and retry as suggested by phatal1ty.

Completely different to all the above solutions.

No EMP's?
No Stun Gun?
No Tranq rifle?
No Grenade of any sort?

Oh well.

Lots of Typhoon ammo and Cyberboost bars?

Excellent.

Run around to the right, jump on the crate and take out the first three guys on the upper floor with takedowns. At this point you'll want to use a Cyberboost Jar.

Go into stealth and run down the stairs to where the mech should have dropped and use your typhoon ability. Fully upgraded this should take out the mech in one hit. Drop out of stealth.

By now, one of the heavy dudes should be dead and the other will have made his way down to the chopper, so head over and take him out. He'll probably be behind it.

Return to where the mech was and there should be two guys, one on either side of the area to take out unless they were killed by the mech explosion.

Now, head to the back left corner (from the start of the levels viewpoint), run up the stairs of the building and take out the sniper here. Take his weapon and use it to kill the guy on the building across from you.

It may take a few attempts to get your timing and positioning sorted, but this is the easiest way I found when coming into the level with no grenades/guns.

If, like me at this point, you have absolutely nothing to fight with, no grenades, weapons etc. then read this!

*Just to add this may stop you from getting the Pacifist achievement. If you want that achievement, then save before-hand and leave Malik to die.*

This can be done without using weapons, grenades, cyberboost bars, NOTHING. The Bot can be taken out with the explosive barrels that are found around the site, and everyone else can just be non-lethally taken out. Even with only one bar of energy I managed this.

When you start go to the right and take out the guys there. By the time you've done that the Bot should be down, so throw the first explosive barrel at him.

Move around back to the middle and take out the heavies BEFORE they go behind Malik's chopper.

Then continue to take out the others, throwing any explosive barrels you see at the Bot. It should only take 3 to 4 explosive barrels to destroy it, if they get blown up any other way you might want to restart.

Leave the snipers until last since they do the least damage, focus on the Assault men once you have taken out the Heavies and the bot.

Again I did this with only one bar of energy using nothing to replenish it (just waiting for it to do it by itself), no healing things, no weapons or grenades.

Not really much of a solution but just to say it is possible. Once you get the option to fly to china for the second time you will not be able to resupply at all, so this might be your best bet.

I got through this area last night. At game end, I got both Pacifist and Foxiest of the Hounds, so this solution won't invalidate either achievement if you're going for them.

To follow this solution, you will need:

3 full energy bars (might be able to handle less but you'll be eating nutrients).
Cloak at full upgrade (7 seconds per battery).
Stun gun with 6+ rounds.
Tranq rifle with 3+ ammo.
EMP grenade

Steps were:

1) Jump down off the landing platform and sprint into the covered walkway to the right. Do NOT jump up onto the container.

2) At the end of the walkway is a hole in the wall. Turn on your cloak and jump through it. Just to your right is a guard firing from beside a pillar. Shoot him with the stun gun.

3) STILL CLOAKED, turn left roughly 60 degress and head toward the main thoroughfare. You'll see two heavies move into view towards the VTOL. Stun the closest heavy with the stun gun.

4) STILL CLOAKED The second heavy should start retreating back toward the elevator. Chase him down and stun him too.

5) STILL CLOAKED Then look to your right and you'll see a guard near the building (where you dropped the first heavy). Circle behind him before your cloak runs out. Once you're behind him, you can let the cloak fall. Even when he takes cover and appears to be looking back toward you, he won't see you. Stun him too.

6) Once he is down, quickly move forward and drag the unconscious first heavy back. The robot is about to land and you want him clear of the blast radius. If you don't reach him before the robot lands, EMP the robot first then drag the heavy clear before it explodes. Remember that you can use RT to throw the heavy rather than drag him. You don't need to move the guard mentioned in #5. He is clear of the blast radius already.

7) Once the heavy is clear and the robot taken care of, run around behind the 2nd building (past the body of the second heavy) and you'll find a guard out front of it. In my playthrough, he was crouching on the ground and looked like he was setting up a backpack(?). Stun gun him.

8) Turn and run up the stairs to the first floor of the building. There will be a sniper up there crouched behind some crates. Stun/takedown him.

9) At this point, there is no one left on your side of the map but still 4 guards left in the other building. A sniper on the 2nd floor and 3 guys on the first floor. Taking cover against a pillar, I switched to the tranquiliser rifle and took out the sniper and two others. The fourth was behind a pillar and I couldn't get LoS.

10) Once there's only one guy left, sprint over to the back stairs of the other building. You'll come up behind the last guard and can either takedown or stun gun him.

As far as I could tell, none of the enemies were ever firing at me. I did take some damage during step 4 because I ran between guard #5 and the VTOL he was shooting at, but I was cloaked at the time and the guard continued to shoot at the VTOL after I passed, so I'm pretty sure it was accidental.

First off, I have read all these guides and they are all very good. Each provides a different perspective on a tricky achievement... Especially if you are going for this on your Pacifist and Legend playthrough, as I did.

Secondly, if you don't have an EMP grenade, one can be found down in the pit off to the left (from where you start). I looks like you may need to be able to withstand electrical shock to get it though. However, I doubt you will have time to grab it and still save Malik... Unless... The arrival of the mech seems to be triggered by your advancement, so maybe there is a way to get it and save Malik, but I kinda doubt it.

Lastly, when you are done, and if you are going for Pacifist, you'll want to make sure all ten (10) bodies are sleeping. On my first attempt at Pacifist, I did not personally kill anyone here, but through exploding barrel and/or mech, some died, but I thought it was not on me. I did not get Pacifist.

Be ready to try this multiple times. Even if you do it perfectly, the random nature of where the guards are may mean one will end up dead via explosion. If you don't care, so much the better, but just know it can be done. Oh, I should point out, I was also on Give me Deus Ex difficulty, so it can be done.

If at any time you can't use the stun gun, be ready to use B. I typically alternated so that the other could charge/reload.

So what worked for me was this:

Make a save as soon as you regain control of Adam. It will come in handy, though the automatic checkpoints should also work.

I had 2 gas grenades, one EMP, and my amour was max. I also boosted my health to 200 before getting started. If you go into the red on health, quickly use inventory (or quick inventory via holding the Y button) to health up. I also made sure every energy cell was green.

I ran down the left side (the picture you see when the save loads). I jump sprinted to the scaffolding then up the stairs. There will be a guy right in front of you. Zap him (1 down). Turn to your right and toss a gas grenade. There is probably already a heavy blasting Malik, The gas should take him out (2 down). Keep heading toward the back, turn right, and right again (your are now in the middle facing Malik) and take out the second heavy (3 down). At this point both heavies should be down. This is also when the mech drops, so have your EMP grenade ready. When the mech gets zapped, it self destructs. Hopefully that explosion won't kill anyone, or maybe you don't care.

At this point two things worked for me. Sometimes I would get lucky and take the two medium guys, at ground level, down. I would usually have to run around the back right. This makes 4 and 5 down.

If the opportunity was not there to get both, I would take out one (number 4) and then run up the stairs (to your left as you face Malik) where 3 more are on the second level. Take these guys down. Up the ladder is a snipper, get him and then return to to ground level (if you have the Icarus Landing System it will come in handy to save time). If you did not get both mediums on ground level, now is the time to get one or both. At this point it's 9 down, one to go. The last guy, a sniper, is up the other set of stairs. Get him and that's 10. Malik should be fine.

If you are going for Pacifist, now you need to check ALL 10 bodies and make sure they are sleeping. Just because you knocked them out before does not mean they weren't killed in an explosion. If any are dead, and you are going for Pacifist, reload and try again (previous checkpoint should also work).

Also worth mentioning is that even though this area is fully alarmed, it will not affect the "Foxiest of the Hounds" achievement.

Good luck!

For anyone going for a non-lethal play, there is incredibly non-taxing way to save Malik. My strategy involved the use of invisibility, some grenades (gas/EMP), and the stun gun (Best gun in the game imho) As soon as you are able, jump off the platform to the left of the heli and get behind cover. It helps to go invis until you are safely behind cover. Once there, lob 2/3 gas grenades around where the most soliders are located (it is generally from just to your left to directly in front of you). There will likely be a few heavy soldiers that escape this. Go invis, sneak up near them and stun them out. If you don't, they will continue pounding bullets into Malik's helicopter. Around this time, a mech will drop. Run up near the mech behind some cover. Throw an EMP grenade to cause it to self-destruct. Once this is done, you should only have a few snipers left, which can be easily taken out using invis/stun gun. This tactic worked for me more than once, having replayed the section trying to find the best route through. All in all, it is an easy way to save Malik's life, especially for those who are trying to play through the game without killing anyone or raising any alarms. Hope this helps.
