Deus Ex Alpha

I kill/run past Walton Simons, but the door leading out of the room is locked with INF lock and strength. It wasn't locked when I came in through that way. Is there a key I have missed? Or another way out? D=

I had the same problem. Don't know why, but I didn't find a solution to open those doors... So I quit the game and started the first mission again since I didn't have a closer save game. I only went for quick saves.

Doesn't opensesame work?

It'd be cheating...

Can you upload a screenshot please?

It's the door partially submerged in water, after the "checkpoint" with the zappy electricity and computer.

I tried to chase Walton Simons and get him to open it, but he wouldn't go into the water

Try watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjPbaJrKIpU (paying more attention to what he does after the Walton Simons scene then the non-lethal attitude he takes, which is still pretty awesome IMO). Watch from about 6 minutes in.

If the door I think you're talking about it locked, and it shouldn't be, then it's possibly a glitch and you'll have to reload the game or start from that level again, if you can (and, on the off-chance it is a glitch, can I please get a screenshot? xD).

Yeah, it's the door he goes through at 6:27. I guess I'll opensesame it.

... Or maybe I could get the diver on the other side to open it for me...

... OK that didn't work, so I just did opensesame...


The bug is that the levels don't save what you did previously, and are reset to exactly what they were when you came into the sub base. So, that door is locked, all items and enemies are back, and the elevator out of the submarine hangar is in the wrong place (I had to ghost up the shaft). Even worse, Jock's helicopter is just hovering above the start point instead of where it is supposed to be for the mission end, so I can't complete the objective ;_; I guess I have to start the entire level again


Also, are you supposed to give Tracer Tong his cure before you go to the sub base?

No, after. When you go to Command so you can watch Icarus and Daedalus merge lol. Then when you leave with Jock you see Tracer Tong and shit and then you leave lol.

That glitch is fucked, incredibly annoying. I believe it's happened to me at one point. Yeah, you'll have to start again. I had to restart the game because I didn't want to cheat and I got used to the Quick Save button too much lol.
