| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |   Go to the Dewdrop Inn.→Find the beta acid contianer. |
| 2 |  Find Booker Updike (optional).→Go to room 103 and find out what happened to Booker (optional).→Search room 103 (optional). |
| 3 |  Go to the room upstairs.→Look for the stolen beta acid in the lab.→Retrieve the beta acid container. |
| 4 |  Get out of the motel.→Deposit the beta acid in the Drop Point. |
| Investigate What Happened To Him | You will need to accomplish all optional objectives. You will spend an extra 1000 eddies in order to bribe the technician to open Booker Updike's room for you as well as payment for a room in the inn. |
|---|---|
| Finish The Mission Without Investigating | You can simply go around the back of the building, climb the emergency stairs and force open the 2nd floor door (needs Body Level 8). Head to the same last room as the original path and take the beta acid and finish the mission. |
Accomplishing all objectives including the optional ones will be best here as this will ultimately put you in the good books of El Capitan.
| Route | Rating |
|---|---|
| Back Door | ★★★★★ |
| Side Alley | ★★★★ |
| Front Desk | ★★★ |
| Fire Escape | ★★ |
| Guns Blazing | ★ |
Entering the hotel through the back door is the best option as it leads you almost directly to your objective. However, doing the optional objectives may require other routes.
| Back Door | There's a back door that you can open if you have enough Technical Ability points. Once inside, you can sneak your way upstairs and into room 200 to hop over the railings until you reach room 203. |
|---|---|
| Side Alley | You can open the window on the west side of the hotel. Alternatively, you can force-open the shutters in the side alley to the north. The former will lead you to one of the optional objectives. |
| Front Desk | Enter the hotel through the main entrance and rent a room at the front desk. You will still have to avoid the enemies on the upper floor if you don't want to engage in combat. |
| Fire Escape | Head behind the hotel and go up the fire escape. There's a door at the top that you can open if you have sufficient Technical Ability points. This may be the riskiest stealth route, especially if you don't have enough points to force-open room 203. |
The best route to go through here would be the front entrance. Shoot your way from the front desk to the upper floor. There will be a handful of enemies in the building so be careful.
This list contains only significant items and those which have a high chance of appearing.
