Shadowrun Hong Kong: The Dig - main mission

Objectives: find two ancient books, don't let the alarm activate, steal artifacts worth 5000 yens (optional), steal artifacts worth 10000 yens (optional)

Useful skills: combat, Decking [1]

Difficulty: Medium

Entrance corridor to the museum

The quest is quite unusual. Don't expect much fighting, you will only need a security specialist (for example, Is0bel). Go to the underground (M4,2). On the left you will find the first book (M4,3).

The first book

By breaking to the terminal (M4,9) in the northern part of the underground, you can find the data (Shipping Manifest). It can be sold through the computer for more than 400 yens (you will also receive 1 Karma point for that) and a spell - Wild Aim II.

Surprise the enemy by positioning yourself earlier in tactic mode and starting the attack

In the southern part of the underground you will find some enemies - mummified corpses (2x) and a gargoyle. Same set enemies will join from the other side during the battle. Walk slowly and you will be able to prepare an ambush. Gargoyles can cast spells and the corpses can temporary move one of your companions outside the battlefield, where he will be forced to fight the enemy alone. Only after he defeats the opponent he will return to the underground. The corpses have twice less health that the Gargoyles. Corpses are fighting from close, so try to keep distance since the beginning of the battle. Gargoyles explode with poison after defeating them.

Once you take care of the enemies, collect the second book (M4,3) which can be found in the southern room.

An ancient sword

Once you decide to leave the territory (M4,4), an undead (M4,11) will appear and ask you to take his talisman and leave the excavation site with it - it will set him free. You can, but don't have to help him. You can also attack the monster - if you destroy him, you can pick his sword (with no sell value), "Emperor's Sword". However, the talisman is quite valuable (400 yens) and can be used for summoning the undead that will help you in battle.

North terminal

To finish the quest you must walk towards the terminal (M4,6) in the room above the excavation site and use it. Watch out, as after doing it and walking to the main corridor, all the doors will close and three guards will run towards you (you won't be able anymore to enter any room nor complete side quests).

Use the side exit with guard's key

After eliminating them you will be instructed to use the side exit (M4,5). First you must pick up the key lying next to one of the guards. The exit is once again protected by three guards with the same statistics - this time they will make the first move, so make sure that you have enough health to survive their hit and hide behind cover as quickly as possible. For completing the quest you will receive 8 Karma points and from 1300 to 1900 yens (depending on whether you have stolen items and completed the side objective).
