Getting in Top Shape Again

Find Koller and Have Him Repair Your Augmentations

Objectives

Overview

Map Legend

Your doctor works at the Time Machine bookstore. Koller is his name, and he’ll probably be able to sort out your aug problems. However, he’s having trouble at the moment. Several Dvali thugs have gone into his place, and they’re looking for him. You must get over there and clear things up.

Go into your menu and look at your objectives. Highlight M3, and make sure to select it so that you are tracking this mission. Take the stairs down to the bottom of the apartment complex, and leave by the front door of the facility.

The bookstore is a short trip east from your apartment. Take the streets to get over there. An armed man stands outside of the front gate, with more trouble waiting behind him. Going through these guys takes you down the combat route. Otherwise, you should go through the police checkpoint to the left and find a stealthier way into the compound.

Either way, the store is behind these gates. Your goal is on the second floor of the building. Koller has an office up there with a red book inside of it (this shows up when you use Smart Vision). Get into the office, interact with the book, and get into the hidden elevator that opens up. You can get inside the building via a main door, the side door, a ventilation shaft, or the windows on each floor.

The elevator takes you down to the lab. Talk to Koller and learn about your augments, and then he’ll reset everything that’s going glitchy for you. You’re kind of starting from the beginning, so many of your augments are going to go away. You’ll have a baseline number of augs that are perfectly decent, but you won’t be a killing machine or a stealth god for a little while.

At this time, you must choose one extra powerful augment to turn on, and turn off something that you aren’t using at the moment. Koller is going to reset this anyway, but you’re learning how the system works. These new augmentations are very powerful, and they’ll always come at a cost. You need to turn something else off to ensure that the new augments work without burning you out!

After the scene ends, Koller lets you know how to find a Neuroplasticity Calibrator. This item helps with getting your new augments in line. It’s possible that you already have this if you’ve explored heavily and gone out of order, but you still can’t get Koller to use it on you until later in the game.

You’ll read about the calibrator mission soon.

After the mission ends, take some time to configure your augmentations. You should have a number of Praxis to spend, so set up a good spec for yourself.

When this is all over, you’re free to start the next mission, but you can also return to your apartment. When you go head home, use your remote to call Sarif. Ask him about those augs to see if he knows anything.

Combat Make your way over to the bookstore, and approach the guard outside of the front gate. Use a Takedown on him, open the gate, and then repeat the act on his buddy in the back. Loot them for their weapons, and hide along the wall afterward so that the man down in the street can’t see you. Get a long-range weapon out, snipe him, and then take cover once you have a view of the main store. There are a few men outside of it, and more are going to come outside as the action heats up. Pepper them at range with your best weapon, and then switch to one of the guards’ Shotguns if you want to get closer for some easy kills at the end of the fight. Throwing a grenade at the door is also a great way to score a fast victory, as the men run directly out into it. Ouch! Three men stay on the second floor of the building, even if you make plenty of noise. Run into the building and up the stairs in back. Take cover along the railing so that they can’t easily shoot at you, and pop out of cover to shoot the ones who are crazy enough to move on your position. Once they’re dead, the last straggler won’t have a chance. After that, you just need to find the office, use the red book, and complete the mission.

Stealth Go to the bookstore, but don’t approach the gate guards. There is a clever way to get into the area. Instead of confronting those guys, look down the street to the left. There’s a checkpoint, but you can bypass this by crouching and going through a breach in the fence. Go slowly, watch the laser tripwires so that you aren’t found out, and make sure that the guard on the side isn’t looking as you pass. Once you’re past the checkpoint, you can relax a little bit. Go to the side gate of the bookstore’s area and hack it to get inside their perimeter. Take the street on the left, and open a door that looks like it goes into a decrepit building. That’s pretty much what it is, but there is a vent that lets you easily slip from there into the bookstore. Use this and climb to the second floor inside the safety of the vent. When the men on the second floor aren’t looking, you can open a vent up there and get out. Crouch and creep to the left so that you get to your objective without fighting. It’s possible to knock these guys out if you want, but it’s just as easy to sneak in there without getting into trouble!
