spoiler: DX secrets

[Leo]

Hi,

Since DX is so long game it has different secret areas which mission objectives do not cover, have you found any?
OR
In some areas player's actions affect some dialogues and gameplay, post here.

[DarkForge]

I can't remember at exactly what point in the game this is, but at one of the times when you're in the UNATCO HQ, I believe there may be a safe behind the bookcase in Manderley's office. Found it while using the 'ghost' cheat.

If my eyes are not deceiving me though, I can't find any way to get to it. Anyone know anything about this?

[Cerpin Taxt]

the only relatively secret mission I can think of off the top of my head is rescuing Smuggler's friend when you get to Hell's Kitchen. It's fairly out of the way, and Smuggler only talks about it if you keep hassling him. Side-quests didn't exactly feature very heavily on the game.

[Skylink]

I once had a website http://deusex.al.ru, full of spoilers and tricks for Deus Ex. But it was closed by the admins, for some reasons.. Damn, I had millions of descriptions there.. Including stuff like secret levels.. ;)

[Icarus]

I know there's a secret room in training, If only I knew where. Some all powerful AI I am. *falls to the floor and sobs digital tears, while reaching for a pistol*

[Catman]

Look for an odd brick in the hall of holograms.

[Skylink]

there is a secret level in the game.. or maybe 2 or 3, but i know only one, with the 'alienish' look

That mission is great, because you get to see MJ12 for the first time and you feel a little worried that there is a military base in the NYC sewers. Its good foreshadowing if you did it.

[Huntress]

Well personally I don't think rescuing Smuggler's friend was a secret mission, since he would ask you to do it. Naturally, you should already be multi clicking all your contacts to find out what other info they might give...part of the game :) However, as far as side quests, there were several throughout the game IMHO...especially in Hong Kong. You had a choice of going upstairs or not in that rail station to deal with the gang up there after you meet Charlie (I think his name was?). Another side Mission was go down and kill those "greenies" in the sewer and then go back and tell that lady you did and receive some extra points, etc. There were more but you get the idea :) I think there were ample put before you in your journey.

One of the secret places was when you got to the area of the submerged scientists bldgs and you had to swim out of that underwater area into the sea and going to the right where you see air bubbles rising up...is a difficult entry but you can get in to get some goods/data cube I think too(?) been awhile since I've played so memory is ragged a bit.

Didn't know about a safe behind Manderley's office book case? That's a new one on me :) Also a odd brick in the Hologram hall? Are you talking about in game or the training area? Where is this brick and what's there? Please explain as you have my curiosity working :D Ta and Good Hunting!

I'm 99% sure that this is at the end of the training area. it opens up another room with a hologram in it - from what i remember they just say "good job finding this secret".

[Huntress]

Thanks cball05 for that info. Yea I'd heard there was a secret place in training area but never looked as I was just trying to get out of there safely at the time. LOL Took me a few tries at that before I could! ;) But there was something about being able to find a Thermo suit as well and thought it was in there? Anyway, my friend was able to get it...he's so sneaky! :D Ta and Good Hunting!

Like I said, I'm not sure about it. But I had the "Ghost" mode on just for the hell of it, and I spotted it behind the bookcase. I couldn't see anything in it - maybe something only shows up if you manage to open it? But it only happens on one occasion. Every other time I looked, and there was nothing.

I'm going to take another look and confirm at which point in the game it happens.

[DarkForge]

I had a check. It's in the UNATCO HQ, straight after the Mole People level (I don't think it's even there on any other occasion). To skip straight to the level, use the 'talk' command, delete 'say' and type open 03_NYC_UNATCOHQ

When in Manderley's office, activate 'Ghost Mode' and move over to the bookcase. You should now hopefully be able to see the safe hidden behind it. I had a look, and actually found a weapon mod in there (but obviously I couldn't pick it up, because I had Ghost on). By moving around with Ghost, you can also see in the gap between the bookcase and the safe. You can clearly tell that it's a safe door.

However, like I said: I can't find any way of getting to it. If anyone manages to figure this one out, then please let me know.

[Catman]

Well, I'll be darned. I've never been able to find that puppy. Alas, in the GOTY version, there is no weapon mod. :(

[DarkForge]

I've got the "Premier Collection" label version, DVD case.

But I take it then that you saw it - wasn't just me? ;)

[Catman]

I did find the safe, but I found no obvious way to open it.

Heh. Maybe it's the pinball machine? :D

[Hannibal]

If you shoot a basket in Hell's Kitchen, your display will say "Sign him up for the Knicks!" or "What are you doing playing basketball when you should be playing for the Cowboys?"

[almightyjc]

In hong kong, tannochi road, you can get up on to the big bilboard. You have to go to the top of Jock's building and make a difficult jump from the roof. Theres a rifle and some other stuff but I had a hell of a time getting down!!

[Bio Denton]

When in doubt LAM it, then GEP it, then hack at it and LAM it some more. If that fails, throw a fit and kill everyone, then storm off into the night.

Go up to the roof over Maggie's apartment, head toward the canal tunnel (where the Luminous Path guy wanders around), jump down to the ledge. You can cross on the ironwork girder.

From that spot, go back across to Maggie's building, and keep heading down via the ledges. It helps to have the speed augmentation, but even without, you can survive if you're careful and use a couple medkits along the way.

If you find the secret room, Janice Reed compliments you on it when you go to meet Manderley for the first time.

Are you sure about that? That's never happened to me. :confused:

[agent008]

wow i never knew about the shooting a basketball will give you a funny message


when i first played and went to hells kitchen i saw the dead cop and picked him up and brong him to the hospital and put him on the medical bed but no points what a rip:(

[Le`Sauveur`De`Ces`Dames]

I knew about it, but never had the patience to shoot 1000 time (and run 1000 time after the ball), which, given my tremendous basketball/DX1 abilities would be a minimum to get it

[Shiva217]

i swear there is supposed to be a seceret room in Alex's office

There is that girl who nicks weaponry/ammo etc.. and sells it, she talks about a secret room in alex's office

[Catman]

Yes, there's a secret room in the floor. Turn right immediately after entering the office and look at the floor while walking slowly. There are two entries.

This mission seems to be time limited. If you go see him soon after Sarah Renton gives you the password, you get the option to do it. However if you just mooch about for a while it didn't matter how many times I talked to Smuggler he wouldn't give me the option. I tried to find a key to the sewer elsewhere in the apartment but never could.

BTW: where do you find the code to the keypad that releases the mirror. The code is 432 but I got that from asking at a forum, never could find the datacube with the detail on it.

[Catman]

Nor did I. I just guessed it from the code for the secret room in Paul's apartment (lucky guess!).

[Le`Sauveur`De`Ces`Dames]

I didn't find it either. I asked my little sister to try every code from 000 to 999

(she was lucky it wasnt't 999)

Nice idea, but cruel too. Do you like you little sister..? :D

[Le`Sauveur`De`Ces`Dames]

oh, and apparently, you can find thhe code by hacking Smuggler's computer each time you go there. there is one time where the code is in a mail (according to my little brother, at least. he just finished DX1 using only hacking/DTS. he was trying to show that each code in the game can be found, so you need no lockpick/multitool)

Nice idea, but cruel too. Do you like you little sister..?

hmm the question is "does SHE like ME"

[F3nyx]

In the Hong Kong police station - the one in the marketplace - there's a trapdoor in the floor with a keypad. I never found the combination for it anywhere. Is it possible to get in?

Oh, and BTW - it's easier to just smash Smuggler's mirror. I think he gets pissed about it, but if you stay out of sight he'll calm down after a while.

Hmmm... there's also the NSF commander in the mole tunnels.

[Random]

Maggie Chow gives you the police station code when you speak to her for the first time.

[F3nyx]

Ah. Thanks, I'll have to watch for that next time I play through.

[Le`Sauveur`De`Ces`Dames]

If I remember correctly, the code to enter the station is 911, and the code for the trap...

OK, next time I'll wait to stun maggie

[Chiefdreams]

Has anyone found the way to the sunken tunnel in Hong Kong?
At one place when I'm under water the graphics tear a little and I can see a road bending down with what looks like one of those 4 legged creatures on it but I can't find a way to it.

[WeirdWarriors]

can you tell me how to get to these secret levels please :D

i love the game, but am a pure mp player, beat the sp a couple of times at first, but secret levels, very interesting

please do share

Might want to bring along a rebreather too .....

[Le`Sauveur`De`Ces`Dames]

and some heavy weapons. especially if you play in realistic mode (you ARE playing in realistic mode, aren't you?)

[Chiefdreams]

Yes I am thank you.

[WeirdWarriors]

noting was said on how to get to that alien level, just that it exsists ;)

[JC Rzem]

Actually, there is a secret apartment in Wan Chai Market. However, the only way I know get there is by using the flight or ghost cheat. To find this apartment just then faceing the Luminus path compound, activate the ghost cheat, fly up and turn left facing the building. About 6 stories up there is some kind of secret room.

[JC Rzem]

Oops I made a mistake. I meant to say "just STAND facing the Luminous path compound entrance, activate.....

[Niku'a]

Two more hidden places:

Just before the airport level, the one with the helicopter outside. On the right from entering, play a bit on the pinball machine, a bookcase should open.
In the same building, on the left from entering, in the computer room there's a hidden switch behind a flower pot.

And hit a brick in the wall at the small building at the airport just before going to the 747. It's on the ground floor near the darts.

And ofcourse, approaching goals from a different route can get you some neat things as well.
