* ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' is rather straightforward when it comes to telling you where to go... that is except for the part in Hongkong when you need to [[spoiler:infiltrate an EvilCorporation compound for the second time]]. Because of it, you need to access the building differently than before, that is use a backdoor. Immediately upon getting through said entrance you will be offered two paths, one of which will lead you to the areas you know from your last visit and the other, hidden behind a terminal keypad, will lead you to another location. By this point you should have gotten used to the fact that most terminal keypads conceal rooms with additional gear that you might be willing to check out but don't really have to (unless the mission objectives state otherwise). Only problem here? The terminal keypad route ''is'' the only one that will lead you to your goal. Instead, if you follow your instinct and pursue towards the familiar territories, you will eventually stumble across a laboratory with security up the roof, a series of ventilation shafts to help you navigate your way around, a lot of equipment for you to use, [[spoiler:a bunch of off-worldly creatures that you see ''for the first time'']], a homeless bum locked in a cage that will have you believe he can be of some help to you, and if that wasn't enough, you'll even get to listen to the conversation held by the [[spoiler:''bad guys'']]! In reality, whatever you'll find in that lab will not get you an inch closer to completing your objective. To add insult to injury, if you decide to move over to yet ''another'' area of the compound, you will receive a message from [[spoiler:Daedalus]] that will further reinforce your conviction that you're getting closer to your goal whereas in fact the direction you're heading is totally ''opposite'' to the one you should take!
** And to make things even '''worse''', if you approach the [[spoiler:bad guys, including Maggie Chow]] talking behind glass, you might actually trigger a glitch making [[spoiler:Maggie Chow]] take note of you and say the line [[spoiler:she]] is not supposed to say until you actually meet [[spoiler:her]] in person after you've completed your goal (which, as stated above, is located someplace else entirely). If that happens, you'll probably spend months wandering helplessly around the compound before reconsidering the possibility that you might be in the wrong place altogether.

1) The second time you go into the building, you are expressly told to go to the \"Level 3\" labs. The destination the poster talks about in this example (with the Grays and homeless man) is clearly identified as the \'\'Level 2\'\' labs. As soon as you go down the hallway from the Versalife lobby (with the outstretched hand holding the globe), you come across a hallway to your right that leads to the elevator that goes down to Level 3. You don\'t get the keycode for this elevator until it is told to you by Tracer Tong.
2) It\'s very obvious where you need to go if you take the backdoor route to Level 3. Anyone running to an elevator and going \'\'up\'\' instead of down or further in (and missing the obvious cues, signs and mission objective from Tong) is being deliberately ignorant.
3) I have never encountered the Chow dialogue glitch in over ten years of playing the game. If it was there, it was likely patched out in the GOTY edition or subsequent releases.
4) The backdoor route is not the required (or only) route you can take. You can access Level 3 from Level 2, via the aforementioned access near the ramp under the hand. Tong suggests this before you leave, but only says that it\'s an alternative because the main lobby is likely swarming with Majestic 12 agents.
5) You likely already visited Level 2 in the process of uploading the ROM encoding for Tong, before he orders you to go to Level 3. The Level 2 labs are right down the hall from the computer that hosts the encoding.
6) A GuideDangIt example involves something that\'s so difficult to figure out from the clues presented that most people do the wrong action automatically without realizing otherwise. This is an example of someone screwing up and deliberately missing obvious cues in order to force an example.
