First step after selecting a new campaign is to create your character. The game doesn't force you to follow one path from the beginning till the end. During the gameplay you'll be able to spend points on any skills. You could know a bit of everything although specializing in only few techniques is usually more profitable. Such things like gender, race or appearance are permanent of course.

You start with choosing your gender - Character - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and Walkthrough

You start with choosing your gender. It has no influence on character's statistics, neither on a gameplay. The only difference can be visible in phrases in dialogues.

There are 5 available races in the game - Races - Character - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and Walkthrough

There are 5 available races in the game. Each one differs not only in appearance but also in bonuses and statistics. This is the most important decision during creation of your character. Different races have different restrictions, as well as improvements. In addition, NPCs in the game may have different approach to your character, depending on your race.

The next very important decision is choosing an archetype, which is more formal version of the class - Archetypes - Character - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and Walkthrough

The next very important decision is choosing an archetype, which is more formal version of the class. At this point you have two possibilities:

  1. You can choose one of 6 archetypes and the game will automatically redistribute Karmas Points considering the archetype you chose. You'll get 5 more Points (8 for Human) to freely spent on any skill or attribute.
  2. Another option is to create your own build, without any archetype - in this case you redistribute Karma Points on your own. You'll get 34 Points (37 for Human) to spent.

The decision is yours. If the particular style of play suits you, for example you prefer using magic during the fight, it would be best to choose a corresponding archetype. But if you prefer a little experiment or create a character with many different skills, the second option is more appropriate.

Street Samurai

Attributes define your virtual character. They show what you are capable to do, which skills you can use and in which situation you're doing better or worse. In most cases attributes are beautiful, numeric side of RPG game.

Their principle is simple - Attributes - Character - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Their principle is simple. As such, they enhance relevant aspect of the character. For example a Body attribute adds 10 Hit Points which each point. Others are less direct and at the appropriate level can be even used in dialogs, for example to intimidate (Strength).

Body

Description: This is the most important attribute in the game, useful for each archetype. It increases HP of the characters, so it doesn't die after one shot. It is especially useful for offensive archetypes such as Street Samurai or Physical Adept.

Effect: Increases HP by 10 for each additional attribute point.

Maximum value: Human/Elf: 9, Dwarf: 11, Orc: 14, Troll: 17.

Quickness

Description: Also very important and universal attribute as it is responsible for using firearms. Here are the skills associated with all range weapons. Even completely magical class should be able to use a gun. Especially useful for Street Samurai.

Effect: Increases a chance to hit enemy from a distance and decreases chances to be hit by physical attacks.

Maximum value: Trolls: 8, Human/Dwarf/Orc: 9, Elf: 11.

Strength

Maximum value: Human/Elf: 9, Dwarf/Orc: 12, Troll: 15.

Intelligence

Description: It is interesting attribute of the lowest level. It is responsible for everything associated with technics and hacking. It gives little by itself but has a lot of useful skills. It is especially important for all Decker and Rigger archetypes, making it easy to combine these two roles.

Effect: Increases chances to hit the enemy with a program or a drone. Additionally increases chances to dodge in Matrix.

Maximum value: Troll: 6, Orc: 8, Human/Elf/Dwarf: 9.

Maximum value: Human/Elf/Orc/Troll: 9, Dwarf: 11.

Charisma

Description: Useful for Shamans and diplomats. Both of them derive their powers from this attribute. Shaman needs it to contact Spirits and all other need it for Etiquette skill, useful in dialogues.

Maximum value: Troll: 6, Orc: 8, Human/Dwarf: 9, Elf: 12.

Each attribute has corresponding skills. Some of them improve only statistics and other unlock special techniques. Skills are developed the same way as attributes, but there is certain relationship. For example in order to develop Ranged Combat on level 5, you first need at least 5th level of Quickness. There are also skills which require appropriate level of another main skill. The mentioned Ranged Combat has to be on level 6 or higher if we want to improve Pistol to 6th level.

After a moment you'll get attacked by two enemies: Street Thug and Mugger. The best method to deal with them is to hide behind the near trash container and focus all your strength on Street Thug.

When it is over, leave the place.

Reward: Basic class equipment.

Now jump behind any cover and focus on Halloweener Mage and another Halloweener Sentry, located on the other side. Try to place Jake on Lay Lines - glowing spots on the ground, which enhance his magic attacks.

Once you deal with gang members, their boss (John Paul) appears. It is a troll holding a large machete and having many AP. Of course he will try to get you in a melee fight. It doesn't make any sense to run away, because almost always he'll get one of your characters. Instead of that order your men to attack him, using all AP. He may look tough, but gives up quite soon.

Objective: 1. Find Coyote. 2. Keep Paco alive.

You'll start in the main building entrance. Your first task is to get information about the current location of Coyote.

Start with nice conversation with Sad Old Man [2] located on the left. Question him and you'll learn that Coyote is being kept on the building top floor.

Reward: None

So many options and you can choose only one - Royale Apartment - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughSo many options and you can choose only one

Objective: Get to the Top Floor.

At this moment you have two possible paths: Main one, leading through the central elevator and the Rear one, leading through the Sad Old Man location. If you choose the main entrance, you'll encounter enemies sooner. When you enter through the rear entrance, you'll be able to get them from the back.

If you choose the main entrance, you'll have following options:

1. Move right away to the elevator, select the first option and then provoke the guy on the other side (You filthy dogs ...). In this way you'll start the fight. There are two opponents to defeat. First of them, Ryker, will come out from behind the door opposite to the elevator. Another one, Tranq, will get down with the elevator after the second turn. Once you deal with guards, pick up Royale Elevator Pass Code, left by the second enemy. Enter the code and go up with the elevator.

2. Another method is a bit more diplomatic. Approach Ryker [7] and select the second dialogue option. If you have Etiquette: Street or Intelligence 3, you can persuade him to give you the elevator code.

3. If you're lack in appropriate skills to persuade him, you can select the first dialogue option. Thanks to that you'll be able to attack him. Although you won't get the elevator code this way, you'll be able to use a computer [8] behind you. If you have Decking 3 you can hack into a system and get the elevator code. You can also select the second option (Recording Studio) and with Decking 2 download data from BTL. In this way you'll get additional option when you approach an elevator. Choose the one with an intercom and then third one with BTL.

4. Associated with a Symp's Son side quest. You have to get to the Recording Studio [9]. You can do it by choosing appropriate option at the computer (Recording Studio->Reboot studio software) or by taking the mentioned quest and talking to Ryker (See: Symp's Son). Once you get inside, click on the panel on the wall and download BTL file. Now follow steps presented in point 3.

If you choose the back entrance:

1. At the end of the conversation with Sad Old Man [2] you can persuade him to open the door leading to the second door (if you have Strength 4 or Charisma 4).

2. You can also do it yourself if you move the closet [3] located at the mentioned door. Two new possibilities will appear. If you have Drone Control skill and any drone, you can send it through the wall to open the door for you. Another method is to summon a Spirit (skull sign) if you have Spirit Summoning skill.

Reward: 3 KP

Side quest.

In order to start this quest, go to the long corridor located in front of the entrance. You'll witness a minor argument there. Go to the left, following the guy who got hit. His name is Symp [5]. Talk to him and he will tell you what happened to him and his son.

After accepting the quest you can take one small thing from the near room. There is Jazz in the room corner [6]. Pick it up and leave the apartment.

Symp's son is being kept in Recording Studio [9]. You can get there in two ways. First option - talk to Ryker [7]. Choose the third dialogue option - if you have Charisma 3, persuade him to let you inside. Then get rid of bandits. Another option is to get an access to the computer. First kill or scare off Ryker (See: The Royale Apartments) and then start the computer [8]. Choose Recording Studio option and then Reboot studio software. After a moment mad Tickler will appear. Get rid of him or let him flee and get inside. You'll encounter here tortured Zipper [10], Symp's son. Talk to him and then return to his father.

Main quest.

Stevie J office in its entire splendor - The Penthouse Suite - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughStevie J office in its entire splendor

Objective: 1. Keep Coyote Alive. 2. Keep Paco Alive. 3. Wipe out the Gang.

On this stage you couldn't do without the fight. But you can start it in three different places, depending on the previous actions.

If you got here with the elevator and without BTL file, you'll start at the front entrance [7]. Once you leave the elevator, Tranq will start the fight.

If you got here with the elevator and having BTL file, Tranq will approach you. You can show him the file and he will let you in. Go to the end of the corridor until you reach Hellhound cage [2]. If you have Zebra Meat with you (you could get it at the Pike Place Market), throw it to the creatures by choosing the first option. Open the first door and then the second one. The fight will begin. The advantage of this method is that you'll have Coyote to help you. On the other side you have to watch out for her - she must stay alive...

If you chose the rear entrance, you'll start at the other side of the floor. The fight will start only when one of enemies spots you.

Whenever you start, you have to get rid of all gang members. If you start at the main entrance, kill Tranq and move forwards. Jump into the kitchen on the left and eliminate Hacker. You can defend yourself here more easily. Eliminate enemies one by one, focusing on Stevie J and Thistle.

Starting in torture room with Coyote has one more advantage - Steve J will show up himself. Focus your attention only on him. It is not easy to eliminate him in the first round, but it is possible. Try only to deal damage or use mage spell - Weaken Armor I to decrease his resistance. With some luck you should get rid of him. If you can't manage to do this, he can start to withdraw to the main room. Do not follow him. Eliminate the guard in torture room and talk to Coyote - she will get her shotgun. Barricade yourself and eliminate all enemies showing up at the door.

If you start from the rear entrance, follow the corridor. A moment later you'll encounter the first enemy - eliminate him. It is possible that this won't alarm others. If they won't come in running to the room, you'll have to lure them in by yourself. Place your character in the passage to the main room. Once enemies spot you, jump behind the long barricade [1]. It is perfect place to defend yourself and eliminate enemies one by one.

Once you defeat all opponents, talk to Coyote. If she was fighting along your side, the conversation starts automatically. Otherwise you'll have to get to the torture room [3] first. Use the Zebra Meat trick described above. Eliminate the last enemy and start the conversation. There will be two options. The first one will allow you to leave the location immediately. If you choose the second one, you'll be able to stay here to complete the side quest and pick up some items.

Reward: 3 KP.

Stevie's Stash

Side quest.

Tragically deceased J bedroom - The Penthouse Suite - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughTragically deceased J bedroom

Objective: Find Stevie's Stash.

You'll get this quest when you select the second option during the conversation with Coyote after the fight.

Start with picking up Stevie J's Pass Codes from his body if you haven't done this yet. Now go to the room opposite to the kitchen. When you open the door, Hellhound will attack you. It is quite tough opponent especially that it jumps directly to your face. It is best to use some powerful firearms against him. If you have a shotgun or a rifle with Burst Fire or Full Auto, it would be good to use that weapon. After the fight, get inside the room.

Approach the closet with the marking [6]. Click it and you'll get Rare Stones, required to complete the quest.

Reward: 1 KP.

2. Take the ladder [2] based on the piece of a rusty plane. Unfortunately its owner will spot you. Each dialog option is effective and let you keep the ladder. But in order to get it worked, you need an assistant - in this case it is - Streetwalker [3]. Talk to her and pay her 20 nuyen for her ... assist.

Ripper's another victim - The Warehouse - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughRipper's another victim

Objective: Investigate the Murder Scene.

It is time to get down to the investigation. Start by talking to Dresden [2], standing at the corpse. Thanks to this, you will receive some useful information about the murder itself. Then, talk to Shannon Half-Sky[3], standing right next to him. She will ask you to bring her two items with strong spiritual power. This kind of items are spread all over the hangar. Start by walking into the next room [7].

There are 2 items in here. The first one can be found in the shoe pile [8], erected in the middle of the room, among the armchairs. Click on the pile and select the first, and then the second option. You have found the first one of the items that you are looking for - Sneaker.

The other one is in the pile of junk [9], in the left corner of the room. If you choose the first option, you will find the second one of the items - Steel Earring. Choosing the third option (Inspect the credstick), will result in adding 200 nuyen to your account.

At this moment, you have already performed the basic quest by finding the two items that you require. Still, you can take a look around for the remaining ones to obtain additional information in the future.

If you want to obtain the third item, you need to gain access to the room close to the corpse. For that, you require a screwdriver, though, which you can find behind the door, next to the pile of junk [9]. Still, you need to have the Spirit Summoning or Drone Control skill. Use one of the skills to summon a spirit or send the drone to the other side and open the door for yourself. Collect the Magnetic Screwdriver from the trolley and return to the room.

Equipped with a new tool, you can open for yourself the panel protecting the door. Thanks to this, you will gain access to the room. Walk inside and click on the marking on the bunk bed. This way you will find the third item- Old Diary.

The last room of your interest is the Warehouse Office [4]. Once you get inside, approach the locker [5] first. You will discover a Comb, inside, i.e. the fourth, and the last one, of the haunted items. Approach then the active computer [6], located opposite the door. Read all of the entries and you will receive the Incriminating Data after the last one.

That's it. Return to Shannon Half - Sky[3] and initiate a conversation. A moment later, there will appear McKlusky here and stop the conversation. You will be requested to leave the murder scene. Again, talk to Shannon and agree to return at night.

Once you will be taking your leave, Coyote will call. He needs reinforcements. Offer to help and leave the hangar.

Reward: 5 KP and 4000 nuyen.

Coyote's Crusade

Main Quest.

He isn't even surprised about how they got here - Coyote's Crusade - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughHe isn't even surprised about how they got here

Objective: 1. Find and Rescue Gino From the BTL Pushers. 2. Coyote and Paco Must Survive.

Again, you are in the den of the BTL pushers, and again you have several options to get inside. Start by talking to BTL Clocker[1]. You can ask him about several, things and tell him to let you in, or accuse him of hurting the innocents and knock him down. This does not matter what you do, although it is nice to see an Orc falling to the ground.

Walk inside and follow the corridor to its end. You can talk to the Concerned Woman[2], to obtain some information. Then, follow the main corridor until you reach the main door [5[. At this moment, there are two characters that can grant you with access:.

1. Charlie[4] - the gangster next to the door [5]. He decides about who gets in and who does not. Talk to him and you will get several dialogue options. You can either pay him the full charge , which amounts to 150 nuyen, or make use of your attributes. There is also an option to hit. If you have, at least Strength 4, you can intimidate the Orc, and with Charisma 5, you can convince him to let you through without the pay. There is also a third option, where you hit Charlie on the face and knock him down, although it results in a direct fight with his companions behind the door.

2. Jamal[3]- the dwarf next door. You can purchase entry tickets from him, if you earlier learned about him from the Concerned Woman[2]. If you chose the first, or the second, dialogue option, he will offer to you three tickets at the price of 100 nuyen. There is no point in haggling and, if you intimidate him with the second option, you will bring about a fight with him and the rest of the gang.

If you have chosen the peaceful way, you will be able to walk inside without any problems, and walk into the main area. In the case of the hostile approach, you will need to cut through several goons to reach the main area. Either way, as soon as you walk over the bridge and make it into the next building, a fight will start.

Reward: None.

Try not to hit the civilians - Coyote's Crusade - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughTry not to hit the civilians

Objective: Stop the Chipheads From Attacking You. (Optional) Do Not Let Any Chip-heads Die.

This fight can be a little problematic. Apart from the enemies , coming in large numbers, you also need to watch out for the civilians. They only attack with fists, but, in combination with the rest of the gang, they pose quite a threat.

Your main objective now, should be the Yakuza Decker, at the other end of the room.. It is him that is controlling the civilians and, as soon as you eliminate him, civilians stop attacking. There is no point in charging at him directly, because there is the entire gang between him and you, and there are new ones coming from the passage on the right. If there is a good sharpshooter on your team, you can attempt taking him out from your starting position, although this is not going to be easy.

Start by commanding your team behind the crates opposite the entrance. For the time being, this is the best position, for defense, you can afford. As soon as they make it there, have them take out the BTL Security on the left. Then, focus on the two new enemies that come out of the passage on the left - BTL Bodyguard and Yakuza Shaman. Two, well aimed, shotgun shots by Coyote, should send the Yakuza Shaman into the afterlife. Have the rest deal with the BTL Bodyguard.

Once these two are done with, aim everything you have at the Yakuza Mage. He should hit the ground within 1-2 turns. Finally, deal with the second one of the BTL Security. For as long as you are hiding behind the crates, he should not pose too much threat to you, since he is using a shotgun, and is at a distance.

There is only a Yakuza Decker left. He is focusing on controlling the civilians, so he will not attack you directly. Approach him and shoot every single barrel at him. He is not too tough so he should be out in a moment.

When it comes to the mind-controlled civilians, there are several good ways to deal with them:

1. you can use Fichetti Concussion Grenades, which deal the damage of 1 AP, which should make them considerably slower. There is one in Paco's inventory and two in Coyote's.

2. Send out a decoy. If you have the Spirit Summoning, any Fetish or drone, you can dispatch one of them a bit to the front, thanks to which all of the civilians will focus on the decoy. They attack with fists so, they do not deal too much damage. As a last resort, if you are not equipped with any of the above, you can dispatch one of your team members to act as a decoy, and heal them with first-aid-kits or with magic.

3. Try to take out the Yakuza Decker at the very beginning. Just like above, if there is a good sharpshooter on your team, with a rifle, you can aim at him and use the Deadeye Shot with that. There is also an option to command your team to the other end of the room, take the Yakuza Decker out and continue fighting from here. The best idea is to use the Smoke Grenade, Smoke Drone or the Fog spell, to ensure yourself with cover.

It, still, should be mentioned that eliminating the Yakuza Decker will not disable the civilians, and only stuns them temporarily. To eliminate them once and for all, you need to activate the computer's panel [6] and select the first option or, if you have Decking 3, the second one. Only after you do that, will they stop attacking you.

Reward: 1 KP.

Quest

Return to the Docks

Main Quest.

All of the friends from your previous visit disappeared - Return to the Docks - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughAll of the friends from your previous visit disappeared

Objective: 1. Break into the NTSB Warehouse. 2. Keep Shannon Alive.

Welcome back to the docks. This time, you will be visiting them at night, and the entrance is not guarded by Lofwyr anymore, but by more suspicious lot.

Start by approaching the gate and you will initiate a conversation with a Scrawny Guard[1]. If you select the first, or the second option, this will result in n immediate fight with the guard. But, if you have Etiquette: Shadowrunner or Etiquette: Corporate, you can convince the boy to leave the battlefield. .

Unfortunately, this is where the path of peace ends. Once you make it through the gate and approach the entrance to the warehouse, there will appear 4 Shadowrunners, who will attack you straight away.

The fight is not of the easiest ones, especially that you are fighting your colleagues in the same line of work. Still, if you play your cards well, this should be quite easy. Start by deploying your characters behind covers. A good method is to split them into two teams. Position one of these behind the crates in front of the entrance, and the other one send behind the crates behind the helicopter. This way, the enemies will split, which will allow you more field.

First, deal with the weakest ones of the Shadowrunners, i.e. the ones whose looks does not resemble walking stones, but rather humans, judging by the silhouette. With a good party, you can engage these two in the first turn. Then, focus on the remaining giants.

The Shadowrunner Troll, has a quite considerable health pool. You will need appropriate debuffs like, e.g. Weaken Armor, Mind Wipe, or Blindness. If you can, try to approach him and take several shots from the shotgun. Combined with magic, this should do.

There is still the Shadowrunner Orc, that is, most probably dashing between your team and the helipad. Fortunately, he is equipped with a shotgun so, he should not be too much of a threat, until he comes too close. Still, he is a shaman so, you should watch out for the spirits that he summons. Deal with him and pick up the NTSB Warehouse Key[2], dropped by one of the enemies. Open the door to the hangar and walk inside. .

Reward: 4 KP.

Spirit Talk

Main Quest.

A long fight is ahead - Spirit Talk - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughA long fight is ahead

Objective:1. Defeat the Runner Crew. 2. Keep Shannon Alive.

You are going to start in the new location already in the combat mode. There are5 enemies that you need to handle: 2 Shadowrunners, an Apprentice, an Orc Shadowrunner and a Troll Shadowrunner.

Start In a standard way by deploying your party members in safety. Your best choice are the columns and crates located right next to you. Then, focus your fire on the first one of the Shadowrunners, nearest to you. The poor bastard was standing with his back turned at you, and therefore has a poor chance of survival.

As soon as your turn is over, there will be a Troll Shadowrunner dashing out of the door on the right, with an automatic rifle. He is your next target, alongside with the Apprentice on the left. A Troll is a Troll; a lot of health so, it is possible that you will lose the entire turn to eliminate this one. It is a good idea to do that, even before the remaining enemies come close.

At this point, there are 3 enemies left. The Apprentice comes equipped with a machete and should already be quite close., which is why you should deal with him next. It would be best if they didn't get the chance to come close to your characters. Use spells like Slow or Mind Wipe, to slow the Orc down and take him out when the moment is right. Finally, focus on the remaining two. They should not be too much of a problem.

Unfortunately, after you have dealt with all of the enemies in this room, you will remain in the combat mode. This will make it slower to move around. You need to go through the door to the next room. At the other side, there are more enemies for you to take on. It is a good idea to tend to wounds and strengthen your party members beforehand.

After you have entered the next location, order your characters to covers. There are two enemies in total: a Shadowrunner, an Orc Shadowrunner and an Apprentice. Two former of these start behind the armchairs in the middle of the room, with the latter one in the area on the right.

Your first target should be the Apprentice, who should have already made it close enough. He is quite weak so, he should hit the ground after two initial shotgun, or automatic rifle shots.

Then, take to the Shadowrunner, and then to the Orc Shadowrunner. This will finish the combat phase and you will be able to proceed.

Reward: None.

First circle... - Mercy Mental Hospital - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughFirst circle...

Objective: Look Around Before Holmes Arrives.

You'll have a moment here before meeting hospital manager. Talk to Donny [4] and Lorraine [3]. She will give you an Infirmary Key. Having this pass you'll be able to get through the door [7] on the left side of the corridor. Once you get inside, go to the other side of the room and examine Severed Arm [10] lying there. Take Super Brawl Ring from it and then examine the locker [11] and the tool table [9] - you'll get Unlabeled Trivid Disc. Finally, start the computer [8] and check two entries. Once you have done that all, leave the room and return to the waiting room.

Talk to Lorraine again [3] and tell her about the death of her friend. You can also give her back the ring you found. After a moment the receptionist will call you. Dr. Holmes is expecting you.

Reward: 2 KP.

The manager knows how to protect himself - Mercy Mental Hospital - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughThe manager knows how to protect himself

Objective: Speak to Dr. Holmes.

Once you're ready, move to the intercom [12] on the right side of the corridor. By activating it, you'll start a conversation with Dr. Holmes. Unfortunately, no matter which option you choose, you'll have to fight.

The first enemy is Hospital Security standing next to you. Eliminate him and then pick up Guard's Key left by him.

If you have Decker in your team, you can use the computer in the waiting room to get inside the Matrix. There will be a fight with 2 White IC. Get rid of them and you'll get an access to the core - Bathroom Door - which opens the door in a real world. On the second platform you can find another core - Patient Records - protected by White Sparky IC and White IC. Activate the core to get Buyer Records.

Now you have to go to the other room, where you'll encounter another Hospital Security. If you have the access to the Bathroom, you can use this path and flank your opponent, although it has not much sense. Otherwise you have to choose the main door [13] and a frontal attack.

Once you clear the level out of all opponents, activate the main elevator [14] to get to the lower floor.

Reward: None.

Halls of Disrepair

Main quest.

Guards are not the only problem - Halls of Disrepair - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughGuards are not the only problem

Objective: Find Dr. Holmes.

At the start of the new location you'll encounter 2 new Hospital Security. Eliminate them. In addition, there is Violent Patient on the other side of the room. This is a normal opponent, so there is no penalty for killing him.

Go to the main corridor. There are 2 Violent Patient in the left room. In the right room you'll encounter Unstable Mental Patient and 2 Mental Patient. First, deal with the first one, before he starts throwing grenades.

Follow the central corridor. You'll encounter Ex-Surgeon and Mental Patient behind the corner. Luckily, the second one attacks both your team, as well as hospital employees. Eliminate them and then pass the hole to get to the last room. Check the instrument cabinet [2] twice, thus receiving Gate Key and Unlabeled Trivid Disc. Leave the room and return to the second gate [4] which was closed previously. Open it with the key you found and then go to the second room.

After short speech of the Doctor and a finished round, a Troll - Crazed Patient - will jump on you. He has a shotgun, so hide behind boxes and shoot him with everything you have. After that go through the door [5] on the right.

Prepare for the last enemies in this location - Hospital Security and the Doctor with machete. Deal with them and then go to the desk [6] in the left corner to activate the record player. Go through all records and then activate the elevator [7] to get to the next location.

Reward: 4 KP.

Quests

The Emerald City Ripper

Main quest.

Fight arena - The Emerald City Ripper - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughFight arena

Objective: 1. Defeat Dr. Holmes. 2. Defeat Pitezel.

The right moment comes. After a long search, you'll finally get to deal with Sam's killer. Prepare yourself, strengthen your characters and reload weapons. The upcoming fight is not the most pleasant one.

Send all your characters behind crates in front of the entrance. The first opponents are Hired Mage and Surgeon. Unfortunately, almost at the start, Pitezel (sweet minion of the Doctor) also appears in the arena. He can deal much amount of damage in a close range, since his hits are area attacks. In addition they damage your armor. Use the skill and items you have to slow him down and weaken him. In the meantime order one of your characters to deal with Hired Mage. For now ignore the Surgeon. It is possible that he could be killed by Pitezel, who sometimes gets mad.

That's not end of the bad news - after two rounds Dr. Holmes also joins the fight. He is a mage and he is a good one. But first try to deal with Pitezel. Use on him Weaken Armor II, Cavalier Concussion Grenade or another spell, which can weaken/eliminate him for at least two rounds. Then use the most powerful stuff you have, like explosive, drones or strong offensive spells like Fireball I. You should eliminate him in 2-3 rounds. Keep controlling the health of your companions. Do not let the health bar decrease drastically.

Once you are sure that no one can kill you in a close combat, focus on Dr. Holmes (and a Hired Mage if he is still alive). The mage has few annoying buffs, but the real problem is Dr. Holmes. Send one of your characters to deal with Hired Mage, and use the rest against the Doctor. If you have any spells which decreases AP, like Lightning Bolt II or Stunbolt II - use it now. Thanks to that you'll be able to block some of his spells. He uses mostly Acid Stream, which deals damage every round, but also an area spell with Stun effect, which decreases everyone's AP with 1. But his weakness, as for all mages, is low HP.

With the above tips and smart using of your arsenal, the fight should be over soon. Once the last shot knocks the Doctor to the ground and finishes the fight, go to him and start the conversation.

Reward: 8 KP.

Operating or torture table? - The Emerald City Ripper - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughOperating or torture table?

Objective: 1. Locate an Exit. 2. Investigate Holmes' Motives.

After puzzling Holmes last words, you'll get another quest. At first, examine the operating table, located next to the gate where Dr. Holmes came from. Check all options until you get a familiar name and 4500 nuyen. Now move away from the table and go through the main gate located nearby. In the second room you'll encounter two Bunraku - effects of Dr. Holmes hard work. Talk to Male Bunraku. Finally go to the desk and pick up Personafix Chip Wiper. Now you have two options: you can keep the chip or use in on Male Bunraku to erase the preset memory and restore his old personality. Make decision and then go through the last door to leave this depressing place.

Reward: None.

Reward: None

B-Team goes into action - Family Debts - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughB-Team goes into action

Objective: Secure the Cemetery.

Once you finish the conversation, you'll be attacked by 3 Hired Gun and Mercenary, who run out from the branch to the right. They are not too demanding. In the first round they should gather in one place, which is a good opportunity to use an area attack.

After dealing with them, a B-Team will run out from the main entrance to the left - Mercenary Captain, 3 Mercenary and Hired Mage. This might be a little more difficult to handle.

At the start move your companions behind suitable covers. Then try to use area attacks, like Fireball I, Cavalier Frag Grenade, or Ball Lightning I. During first two rounds your enemies should be crowded in a narrow passage, which is perfect for such attacks.

As for the order of targets, Mercenary Captain and Hired Mage should be at the top. Others are quite weak as for dealt damage, so you can leave them for later or use area attack in the branch.

After 2-3 rounds after appearance of B-Team, you'll notice some messages and some strange noises. A moment later you'll encounter a nasty tomb surprise - 4 Ghouls. If you haven't dealt with mercenaries yet, you can use the situation and withdraw to the branch on the right. Wait until your enemies deal with each other and then get rid of survivors. But if you have already killed mercenaries, you'll have to face all undead.

The problem with Ghouls is their speed. They can run for a quite distance so they will get you almost always. They attack only in close range but can poison you. In addition it is difficult to hit them. It is best to use magic against them or explosives.

Try to eliminate them quickly, because after a while 3 more Ghouls will appear from the upper part of the cemetery. Try to use the distance advantage and attack them from a long range withdrawing with usage of 1 AP.

Reward: None.

2. If you talk to Janitor [9] standing at the left wall in the canteen, you'll be able to get some information on the building and an access to the stash [11]. But first you have to pay him for the information - 200 or 100 nuyen if you have Charisma 4. After that you can offer him 500/250 nuyen to get an access to the room behind him. Inside the room you'll find Tub of Lard [12] and Small Bottle of Chloroform [13] and in the next room - Janitor ID Passcard [15], Dwarf Janitor Uniform (for Dwarf) [15], Troll Janitor Uniform (for Troll) [16], Orc Janitor Uniform (for Orc) [16] and Standard Sized Uniform (for Elf and Human) [17]. Put on the uniform suitable for your race and then leave the dressing room, getting to the room on the other side of the location. Talk to Brother Christopher [5], to get an access to Inner Sanctum.

3. Act the same as in point 2, until you receive Janitor Uniform. Make sure that you have Small Bottle of Chloroform [13] and then go to the hall next to the current room. Talk to Father Willy Hansen [7] and select the last dialog option. Once you get in the stash alone with him, use chloroform to put him down to sleep. Now take his clothes and a card - Inner Sanctum Access Keycard. Now you can use the main door to get to Inner Sanctum.

4. Most aggressive method. Click the ladder [8] in the canteen and pick up Small can of kerosene. Now go to the cooker [10] and use the can on it. This way you'll make fire and get and access to the kitchen in Inner Sanctum.

Reward: None.

Game room - The Universal Brotherhood - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughGame room

Objective: Find Alley Door to Let Your Team into the UB.

Depending on the method you chose, you'll start in different parts of Inner Sanctum. If you chose the options 1 or 2, you'll start in the office [19]. Otherwise you'll start in the main hall [34] if you chose option 3, and in the kitchen [28] by following option 4.

As for two first methods you'll have to make an access card additionally. Pick up another Blank Universal Brotherhood ID Card from the box located next to the locker in front of the entrance. Now go to the card print station [20] and start it. If you have Decking 4, you'll be able to print Home Access ID Card. Unfortunately such card grants you an access only to the outer part of the Inner Sanctum (in this location). But with Decking 6 you can print Inner Sanctum Access ID thank to which you can open the main door leading to the next level. If you do not have required level of Decking, you'll have to fill data on your own. You can gather required information by searching the office. But if you prefer faster solution, here you are: Monica Shachnoff, Home Dorm B, SEA134-647, BabyBree. After receiving the card, you can go through the door [23] leading to the corridor.

In the third method you'll enter Inner Sanctum through the main entrance, with the access card and clothes.

The fourth method is the most risky one. You do not have clothes neither the access card and in addition you start in the kitchen [28] separated from rest of Inner Sanctum.

In all cases you have to open the back door [32] to let your team in. The door can be found in the kitchen [28]. It is enough when you get close to them and click the control panel.

Now, when you are all together, the only thing left is to get an access to the main part of Inner Sanctum. If you already have Inner Sanctum Access ID Card and Universal Brotherhood clothes, you can go straight forward to the front entrance [34]. Otherwise you'll have to get both things. ID Card can be got by using one of two previously mentioned methods. If you have Intelligence 4, you can also open the locked locker located in Dorm A [25] in order to get another card. The clothes can be found in any of all four dorms.

it is worth mentioning that you might be attacked if you go along with your team in front of turrets mounted next to the front entrance [34]. The same might happen if you try to go through the mentioned door. If you do not have Inner Sanctum Access ID Card and Universal Brotherhood Uniform, you'll be forced to fight. In such scenario you'll have to fight 2 Security Turret and 2 Brotherhood Security. But if you have all required item, you can go to the next location.

There is also an alternative entrance. In the kitchen [28], behind the drink machine [31], you'll find a secret passage. In order to get there you have to move the machine blocking it. You can do it if you have Strength 5 or Tub of Lard, which can be found in the stash [11]. In addition, to open the door, you need Decking 1 or Decking 5.

Reward: 6 KP.

Main quest.

If only you could bypass them - Beneath the Brotherhood - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughIf only you could bypass them

Objective: Find Jessica Watts.

Depending on whether you chose a front entrance in the previous location, or the hidden door, you'll start in different starting points. The only difference is couple of rooms and additional fight at the main entrance.

If you got down by the elevator, you'll end up in the main lobby. Go through the door on the other side. If you entered aggressively the previous location, you'll be now attacked by 3 Brotherhood Guards right after exiting the elevator. Otherwise, once you get to the second room, go to one of Brotherhood Guard [5] and start conversation. I doesn't matter which dialog option you choose, because each one ends with the fight. Deal with 2 Brotherhood Guards and move forwards. Before entering the next hall notice two rooms located in the right. In the first one [4] you can find Advanced Medkit and in the second one - 2 Cavalier Frag Grenade.

In case of the back door you'll start in the secret elevator [2]. Keep moving forwards until you get to a small office. Click the desk [3] and you'll receive Record of Payments. Now go to the next room.

Once you get to main hall, you'll be attacked right away by 2 Brotherhood Followers. Kill them and after that pick up UB Holding Cell Key [7] left by one of opponents. Move to the cell [9] on the right and open it using they key.

Reward: 6 KP.

One of the most interesting battles in the game - Beneath the Brotherhood - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughOne of the most interesting battles in the game

Objective: 1. Defend Marie-Louise. 2. Use Marie-Louise to Hack the Door to Escape.

Once you end the conversation, the real fun begins. You have two targets: protect Marie-Louise against attacks and hack into Matrix while controlling her and open the exit door.

As you probably noticed, there are two new enemies on the battlefield - True Form Worker and True Form Venom. In addition there are 2 Brotherhood Followers with katanas. The last ones are not too tough, so it is best to deal with them in the first round and then fully focus on two insects. True Form Worker attacks in the close range so it would be good to slow him down with your skills or spells and then eliminate it from a distance. True Form Venom is more annoying. It shoots acid which deals normal damage and damage each round. Hide behind covers and take him from a distance.

Unfortunately there is one additional problem. When you get rid one of insects, it will be "resurrected" as a spirit and continue to fight. In such form it is invulnerable. Any kind of damage can hurt them. After the next turn they are back to their physical form. How can you get rid of them? You can't. At least not now. You have to survive until you manage to open the door with help from Marie-Louise. Use the buffing spells like Armor III and try to slow insects down or decrease their AP. If you have Decker in your team, you could send him to the Matrix to help. Here he is no good anyway.

Once you enter Matrix, you'll be welcomed by 2 White IC and White Shield IC. Get rid of them and go through the portal. You'll find yourself in the room with a core controlling the door. Unfortunately it is protected by 2 White Sparky IC and 2 White IC. It could be quite a challenge, especially if you have only Marie-Louise there. Summon Attack ESP to help you in fight and hide behind the cover. Use programs Killer Lvl 2 and Blaster Lvl 2. Remember to heal Marie-Louise with program Medic Lvl 2.

Once you defeat the defense system, activate the core Exit Door Controls. After that Baron Samedi will appear in the system. Leave the system after the conversation and move your team through the exit door located in the left corner of the room.

You'll find yourself outside. Listen to quite interesting conversation with Baron Samedi and then leave the location going through the fence located on the right.

Reward: 6 KP.

Find Shane

Side quest.

Sad end of Shane - Beneath the Brotherhood - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughSad end of Shane

Objective: Find Out What Happened to Shane for Cherry Bomb.

If you got here by a secret passage, it will be lying in the corridor leading to the office. Click the marking and you'll complete the first part of the quest.

Reward: 2 KP.

In the next room you'll have to defeat Corporate Mage, 2 Lonestar Enforcer, Lonestar Heavy Gunner and 3 Basilisk. The latter creatures can paralyze opponent for two rounds, so keep a safe distance from them.

Objective: Find the Aegis Sample. 2. Search Telestrian Accounting System for Information.

In this quest you have to keep alive at least one person who can use the net, so with Decking skill. Otherwise the mission fails.

You start in the main lobby. After short conversation with Samedi you'll regain control over the team. Go through the door in front of you. Unfortunately, here you'll come across 2 Lonestar Guards, who start the alarm. Get rid of them and pick up Telestrian Security Access Card [2] left by the second guard. Now go to the main computer [3], start it and open the next door. Go through it to a small corridor and then turn right.

You'll find yourself in office room [5]. Once you go there, enemies will come out running from the opposite room. You'll have to deal with 2 Lonestar Guards, Lonestar Enforcer and Lonestar Mage. Focus mainly on latter two.

After the fight go to the first computer [6] and start the command. Check all options. Now go to the second computer [7] and do the same, thus starting a short dialog. Go to the last computer [8] and start it. Once you log out, a paper with door code will pop out from the desk: 1915.

Reward: 8 KP.

Fight in offices - Telestrian Industries - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughFight in offices

Objective: 1. Hack the Elevator. 2. Search the CEO's LAN on the top floor.

Now when you have the proper code, you can go through the next door [9]. Alternatively, you can send a drone through the ventilation shaft left from the door, to open it for you. Even if you have a code, it is worth to send the drone there, so it can flank enemies standing behind the door.

On the other side a large group of enemies awaits you: 2 Turret, 2 Lonestar Guards, Lonestar Gunner, Lonestar Captain and Telestian Rigger. The frontal attack is possible but very risky. A better method is defensive way. Go to the room on the right. Of course all movable opponents will follow you, so place your companions behind proper covers and eliminate one by one enemies entering your new fortress.

Once you clear the area, send one of Deckers to Matrix. You can connect to the computer [12] in a server room. In the net you'll encounter 2 White Sparky IC and 2 White IC. Get rid of them and go to the first portal. On the next platform you'll come across 2 White IC. Erase them and deactivate two cores - Turret 1 and Turret 2. Now go to the right portal. Destroy Black IC there and activate another core - Telestrian Patent Application. In this way you'll get Telestrian pending patent applications and 2000 nuyen. Go to the next portal.

On the third platform you'll find a core controlling the elevator. When you approach it, 4 White IC and White Sentry IC will appear. If you're alone, summon one of ESP programs, jump behind the cover and let him get most of damage. In the meantime deal with opponents. After the fight go to the core and activate it. Now return to the second platform and go to the western portal, the most distant one. Activate the last core - Legal Files Data Store Node and leave Matrix.

When you return to real world, you'll notice two new enemies - Telestrian Heavy Guards. They are quite tough and are able to inflict huge amount of damage. Fortunately you have reprogrammed turrets to help you. Deal with opponents in order to get to the next location.

Reward: 4 KP.

During this visit you'll have to act quite fast. In the real world you'll have to repel subsequent waves of enemies. The only way to get rid of them is to regain control over the elevator. That's the task for your Decker.

Go through the first portal [2]. On the other side you'll find two cores and 2 White IC. Get rid of them and activate cores - Security Camera 1 and Security Camera 2. Jump into another portal [6]. Deal with White IC and enter the left portal [8]. Activate core Data Store and return to the previous platform.

Alone in the office - Collecting the Sample - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughAlone in the office

Objective: 1. Find the Aegis Sample. 2. Don't Blow Your Cover.

Once you get to the last floor, turn right and go to the end of the corridor. Open the door, get inside and talk to Silverstar [2]. After a moment he will leave the room and you'll be alone in the big office.

It is time for a small riddle. It is about activating paintings in the right order. If you click on a marking of one of paintings, you'll get a short description with a key word. In order to solve the riddle and guess the order, you have to carefully read descriptions of each painting and order their key words correctly. When you click a proper painting, the closet [7] blocking the passage will move a bit. If you make the false order, paintings will reset themselves and the closet will be close again. Remember what employees and guards were talking about Silverstar - what person he is. In case of difficulty this is the correct order: Duty [3], Efficiency [4], Vigilance [5].

Once the passage gets open, enter inside and click the safe [8]. Unfortunately you need Silverstar's DNA sample. Go to the bar [9] and pick up Half Smoked Cigar. Return to the safe and use a cigar on it. Now leave the room and run to the back elevator [10] located on the other side of the location. Get inside to get out of the building. Prepare for a nasty surprise - Officer McKlusky himself. Talk to him to end the mission.

Reward: None.

First corridor of the underground base - The Hunt Begins - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughFirst corridor of the underground base

Objective: Stop the ceremony.

Welcome back in a slightly modified Brotherhood headquarters. Prepare for a lot of fight and make sure that all your companions have few med-kits and proper equipment. The party begins.

The first location is a ceremonial room, which you've already visited last time. You'll be attacked by 3 Brotherhood Gunner. Get rid of them and enter the cave the get to the lower location.

Right after the corner you'll encounter more enemies - 2 Brotherhood Gunner and Brotherhood Follower. Eliminate them and move forwards. Go through the door [2] leading deeper into the base. In the next room the first insect awaits you - it is True Form Worker. Do what Harlequin told you. First attack it with a normal weapons and magic and when it transforms into Pure Insect Spirit, change your weapon to Aegis Mk. 1 Launcher and focus all your firepower on it. If you do not kill it in the first round, it will return to its physic form and you'll have to repeat this all again.

After killing the first insect, go through the next door [3]. There are plenty of enemies lurking inside. If you have a drone, send it through ventilation shaft, so it can flank them while you lead the frontal attack. You have to eliminate Brotherhood Follower, Brotherhood Gunner, another True Form Worker and Spitter Bug. Try to attack only one insect in its spirit form, since taking down two of them in one round might be a bit problematic.

Once you clear the room, move forwards through destroyed barracks. Open the next door [5] and take your team inside. In the last room you'll encounter 2 Brotherhood Gunner. A moment later 2 Spitter Bugs will appear. First deal with Brotherhood Gunner, so you can later focus only on insects.

When you're done with bugs, one more True Form Worker will come out from the previous room. Eliminate it and then go through the hole he created. At the end of the room you'll find a door [8] to the next location.

Reward: 8 KP.

Quite annoying moment with 3 bugs - Into the Depths - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughQuite annoying moment with 3 bugs

Objective: Fight Your Way to the Bottom of the Hive.

Go forwards all the time. Along the way you'll encounter 3 bugs in total - True Form Worker and 2 True Form Venom. All of them will come out from the walls on the left. Try to eliminate them one by one, not rushing forwards.

At the end of the tunnel you'll find an open room [2]. Inside it you'll encounter Brotherhood Mage, Brotherhood Gunner and Brotherhood Follower. Once you get rid of them, a new insect will jump out from the wall behind you - True Form Bombardier. As you can figure it out by the name, it attacks with acid charges with wide range area. Defeat it as fast as possible, from a long distance, and finish its spirit form. Now go through the new passage [3].

You'll find yourself in a room which resembles hive. Here you'll fight 3 more insects - True Form Bombardier, True Form Worker and True Form Venom. First focus on True Form Bombardier and its spirit. After that deal with True Form Venom and finally eliminate True Form Worker, which is at the long range and attacks only in close combat.

After the fight go through the bridge to the other side. Turn to the right passage [4] and deal with Brotherhood Follower and Brotherhood Gunner. You'll find here many useful things: Doc Wagon Gold Trauma Kit, 2 Premium Medkit and HE Phosphorus Grenade. If you have Decking 5, you can try to hack into a safe [7] to get Doc Wagon Platinum Trauma Kit. It will be useful in the last location.

Final battle - The Bug Shaman - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughFinal battle

Objective: Stop the Ceremony.

Before you go through the last door, prepare your team. Make sure that they have proper weapons and full HP. Check the inventory and maybe use some buffs one you get into battle more. The fight in the last location will be very demanding. Huge army of insects awaits you. They won't attack you at once, but you won't have much time to rest anyway. Make sure that you are ready and go through the final door [1].

A welcoming committee awaits you here. Once you get closer to them, the conversation starts. After it ends, the fight begins. Your target are Insect Pillar [1][2][3][4] which open one after another. When one of them opens, attack it to damage it. Of course your opponents won't stand still. New insects will be appearing each few seconds. In addition you'll be attacked by Jessica Watts, who derives energy from active Insect Pillars.

There are two effective ways to pass this fight:

1. Focus on Jessica Watts. This method requires fast actions and concentrate attacks. Instead of eliminating insects - ignore them. But you have to act fast, before their amount becomes problematic. The key to success is to surround Jessica Watts once she gets close to one of Insect Pillars. After that throw some debuffs on her, like Weaken Armor III, Slow III or Glue. Once you do this, start attacking her. Focus all your firepower on Jessica. It is possible, that she will manage to heal herself several times, but this shouldn't influence the fight much. If you place your characters well and focus entire firepower on her, she should be dead after opening of two pillars.

2. This method is longer but safer. Ignore Jessica Watts and focus mainly on Insect Pillars. When one of them opens, send your team there and start attacking it. Try also to eliminate True Form Bombardier, since they can deal really high damage. Pillars are located that way, that there are quite good covers. You should be able to destroy each pillar after it is activated 2-3 times. Once you done it, deal with Jessica Watts, who is weaker now and can't use the help of pillars.

Reward: 10 KP.

Finishing survivors - The Bug Shaman - Walkthrough - Shadowrun Returns - Game Guide and WalkthroughFinishing survivors

Objective: Eliminate Rest of the Insect True Forms.

Once Jessica Watts leaves the location, you'll have to deal with the rest of insects. Their amount is the same as it was when Watts ran away. Remember to focus on a single insect and kill its soul before attacking the next one.

Reward: 5 KP.

Objective: Decide the fate of Sam Watt's Killer.

After the fight you'll be automatically moved to the next room. A conversation with Jessica Watts starts - you have to decide about her fate. If you choose the first option, you'll leave her with insects. With the second option you'll play the role of the justice and end her suffering. With the last option, you take her with you. Make your choice to end the final quest.

Reward: 5 KP.
