More Deus Ex: Human Revolution Code Clues

Eidos Montreal's Stephane D'Astous tweets another clue for the coded message from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, following this hint from earlier. The new message says: "DXHR's treasure hunt ... i have been told to tweet this important message 'a d / u k / w 0' ... good luck to all." Meanwhile Jean-François Dugas tweets: "7 2 / m 1 / . 4," and Sebastien Bisch offers a hint: "think about WHO and you'll find WHERE, eventually." Here's the sequence we have so far in as close as we can figure to the original order:

Original message from the game:

    okM8-+Ds4Dui?lMh$Mzvm14SBqe7;G.l6=u74b?mkh-45Ki60d+98XBpCku7

Also from the game:

    5 - / ! f / f q / x c / q y / d 3 / ? x / t $ / j #

Via this tweet:

    a d / u k / w 0

Via this tweet:

    r 5 / i e / y p

Via this tweet:

    7 2 / m 1 / . 4

The entire substitution key: Code: a\|b\|c\|d\|e\|f\|g\|h\|i\|j\|k\|l\|m\|n\|o\|p\|q\|r\|s\|t\|u\|v\|w\|x\|y\|z d\|o\|m\|3\|;\|q\|w\|+\|e\|#\|r\|l\|1\|7\|.\|g\|y\|5\|t\|$\|k\|?\|0\|c\|p\|v 0\|1\|2\|3\|4\|5\|6\|7\|8\|9 !\|+\|#\|?\|.\|;\|=\|-\|$ !\|i\|a\|n\|h\|-\|u\|2\|z\|b f\|j\|s\|x\|4\|6\|8\|9\|=

So it looks like the substitution most of us tried may be right.

Uh heh it's a good joke but sorry I didn't take it from another post anywhere. It's a funny and memorable part of that movie.

For instance, the CLEARANCE nodes reduce all data (reward) nodes by 2. Yep. SPAM reduces the security node's rating by 1. (and is cumulative.) This means it'll take it longer to conquer nodes when it's tracing you. TRANSFER either gives an uncaptured random node a -2, or a captured node a +2. SOFTEN gives all adjacent nodes a -1. I hardly bother with API nodes unless they're on my way, though. What's the point in capping a rating 4 CLEARANCE node just to lower the rating of a data node from 4 to 2? I just bust straight for the red, and if I can't reach that, I just cap in every possible direction. It's so rare that you ever run the risk of being traced. I think I have like 50 Stop and 80 Nuke software in my inventory. I should sell that shit, but then again I already have 55K in money too. I like the hacking mini-game, but I do wish it was a little harder. There's literally no danger of me ever failing a hack... Creston

So unless you can't reach it because it's behind a one-way pathway, it's usually quicker to capture the security node.

It seems that the rewards you get, at least whatever is shown in the bottom left hand corner, go by too quickly for me to read them. I didn't start using nukes until yesterday, either. Man, I had 45 of them sitting there. It's so much easier now that I use them. I didn't realize you could cap the red main node. I know about the nukes, I use them if there's like a 5 rated node I need to cap and all the rest is 1's or 2's, I can cap it without setting off alarm. Also, there's a perma list of rewards on lower RIGHT that lists your money/xp/software rewards (which are the ones that persist after the hack). Lower left disappears its true, but lower RIGHT does not as long as you are in the hack. Also there's a summary screen of rewards once you finish the hack. The different nodes and what they do are noted in the hack help (I think there's a help button on the hack screen). For instance, the CLEARANCE nodes reduce all data (reward) nodes by 2.

There are a lot of hacks where it isn't possible to capture the red node.

I hadn't realized capping the red node gave you the bonus nodes, though. Interesting.

Can you add the 5th clue to the article please? It would help to have them together but they're not worth individual news items any more.

What is it? It looks like the one ^D^ reported was a reddit complaint, I can't see anywhere that the actual fifth code has been discovered.

Agreed. I'm still looking for first-source; not found anything yet.
