Deus Ex: Invisible War Glitches and Unlockables (Xbox)
Some in-game tricks always come in handy
Deus Ex: Invisible War is a first-person computer and video game developed by Ion Storm Inc. and published by Eidos Interactive. Released simultaneously for Windows and the Xbox video game console on December 2, 2003, the game is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Deus Ex. Invisible War takes place twenty years after Deus Ex, in a world being rebuilt after a catastrophic event called The Collapse. Following a terrorist attack that destroys the city of Chicago, the player assumes the role of Alex D, a trainee at the fictional Tarsus Academy, whose support is sought by several organizations. As the game progresses, the player learns of conspiratorial factions which seek to drastically change the world. Invisible War was designed to allow player choice in both plot and gameplay, with branching plot lines and emergent gameplay elements. This freedom of choice was widely praised by critics.UnlockablesAlternate EndingsDepending on what you do during the game you'll see one of four main endings; here's how to get them:ApostleCorp Great Advance - Upload Aquinas Spec to JC Denton, use the machine at the base of the statue and keep JC Denton alive Illuminati Age of Light - Upload the Aquinas Spec to Illuminati, destroy the machine at base of statue, kill JC and Paul Denton and keep either or both Chad and Nicolette alive Omar Invasion - Don't upload the Aquinas Spec to anyone, destroy the machine at the base of the statue and kill the leaders of all factions The Templar Flood Upload Aquinas Spec to the Templars, use the machine at the base of the statue, kill both JC and Paul Denton and keep Saman alive Easter EggsSecret Wrap Party Level.While you are in the UNATCO Ruins, the first large room you come into, you will see a Flag. Pick up the Flag and go to the room which used to be Joseph Manderly's office. Look around and you should see a bathroom. Put the UNATCO Flag on the floor so it stands up and flush the toilet. A message will come up and you will be transported to the Development Team Wrap Party, which is set in Club Vox.GlitchesDestroy Greasel Puddles with Flaming Barrels or Fire WeaponsUnknown to some, you can actually destroy those big green puddles of goo that Greasels leave behind in certain levels with Flaming Barrels or any fire weapon.The first method involves using the Hellfire Boltcaster. First, you have to get it from the Nassif Greenhouse during your first visit to Old Cairo. All you have to do is aim directly for a puddle and shoot to make it disappear. It's the only weapon that can destroy them directly, because only the Hellfire Boltcaster will show a health meter when aimed at the puddles.As for using the flaming barrels or the Flamethrower, all you have to do is dump a dead/unconscious body on top of the puddles, and set it on fire using a flaming barrel or the Flamethrower. After a moment or two, the puddle will immediately disappear. I've tested & confirmed this with the Hellfire Boltcaster in the Antarctica Level and with a flaming barrel & a flamethrower (plus a couple of unlucky SSC guards) in Apt. 22 of the Heron's Loft building in Lower Seattle. It may take a few shots more with the Flamethrower, but it WILL work.This is a great help in levels like Antarctica or Germany, where Greasel puddles are scattered in certain areas in ways meant to obstruct your path. Kill and stay cloakedFor some reason you don't lose your cloak when you throw things, so upgrade your strength and cloak.When it is time to kill something turn on your cloak, grab the heaviest object you can lift and chuck it at your target.They won't be able to find you because you will still be cloaked so you can just keep throwing stuff at them. This works great on the guys with power armor.LaddersWhen climbing up a ladder you put away your weapon, but if you hit b to pull it back out you can climb the ladder with your weapon out and usable.Mega-JumpPosition yourself a few feet from a low lying object (stairs [recommended], seat of a couch, non-movable bench, or others about the same height) and

start running towards it. Just as soon as you start to walk over it, jump. You should jump 2-3x as high as usual.Unlimited Food in Cairo Medina For FreeFind the salesman selling the cure for Plague 11. He is next to flaming barrel in South Medina. Buy one soda at 20 Credits and keeping going back and buying another and you'll notice your credits don't go down but you'll gain one free soda. Do this as long as one inventory slot maxes out at 50 for food. Note: It seems those sodas heal more health than normal soda.Here's the game's Illuminati ending:
