If Everyone Is A Jerk That Makes Us All Equals?

Upload the spec to JC Denton. Get out of UNATCO. You'll find some Elite Troopers have appeared (one by the cleaning bot, one at the top of the stairs, another near the entrance before you reach the door to the West Side). Now, go to the base of the statue. You'll encounter several Armored Templar just outside UNATCO along with Saman. One piece of good news is that three bots have appeared at the statue entrance allied to you. Go inside the statue. Step onto the Helios Uplink Machine and use the purple disk.

"It really is of importance, not only what men do, but also what manner of men they are that do it. Among the works of man... the first importance surely is man himself."
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty


If everyone was equal would that really be a good idea? Kurt Vonnegut Jr. doesn't seem to think so in his short story Harrison Bergeron.

 

 

Work, Consume, Mooch It!

Upload the spec to the Illuminati. Leave UNATCO. You'll find a few Armored Templar just outside the entrance along with Saman. Three Hunter-Seeker bots guard the outside of the statue along with JC and Paul (if you saved him back in Cairo). Any Elite Troopers you left standing in the dock area will help you when they hear the fight starting. One approach to use is to launch controlled rockets (alt-fire on the rocket launcher) from the Illuminati held dock. Guide them to the statue entrance targeting the bots and Denton(s) until they are eliminated. Sneak up to the statue entrance and open a door. Back off to a safe distance and use remote rockets to destroy the Helios machine inside.

We Tolerate Other Views If They Agree With Ours

Upload the spec to the Templars. At this point any Armored Templar you find will ally to you. As you leave some Elite Troopers will have appeared (see ApostleCorp ending for details). Leave UNATCO and head to the base of the statue. Outside you'll find the Denton(s). Since the Templar haven't appeared, as with the last two endings, you should still find Leo hanging around the CommVan. Send him in to help if you don't mind him dying (usually happens). Any Armored Templar you left alive in this area will help when they hear the battle. Pick a nice safe spot and remote rocket some help in (or silently snipe). With the outside secure you'll want to disable the two floor turrets and two ceiling turrets inside the statue evenly divided on your left and right. Fight the grays if needed. Now, try to use the Helios machine. Oops, JC's back, and he's mad! Run outside and fight him. Again. Hopefully a few Templar remain to help. Long range tactics work best. Once he's gone go back and step into the Helios Uplink Machine. Use the purple disk.

A second before impact and the best JC can come up with is a look of pained constipation.

 

 

Ow, Thinking Makes My Head Hurt

Hopefully you saved a game before entering UNATCO. Load it up. Talk to Leo have him go after someone, well... anyone. To complete Leo's goal you need to kill everyone. JC Denton, Saman, and Dumier. You'll also need to destroy JC's machine. I'd suggest starting with the Denton's and their machine. Snipe and use remote rockets to handle it. Don't forget the small shed near the entrance for more ammo. Now, go south and eliminate Dumier in the Illuminati Encampment. You don't have to kill everyone, just him. Leave heading north. Make a right past the docks and take the door to the East Side of the island. Continue northeast until you see the bunker. Enter it and kill Saman (or just remote a few rockets in). Inside Bunker K you can find a few goods (three ammo clips, a spider bomb, and an emp converter).

Primary Goal: Kill JC Denton Again

Go back to the West Side of the island and enter the statue to trigger JC's resurrection. Pull back and hide. Fire remote rockets to the statue base. You'll find JC standing there... clueless.

You Can Dance If You Want To

Load your game from BEFORE you uploaded the spec to anyone. Otherwise, this ending may not work.

After you enter the UNATCO ruins take the first flag you see (near the broken door frame on your left) and run down the stairs to level 1 then level 2. Enter Maderley's old office (the north end of level two, last door on the right). Go all the way back to the bathroom and (while still holding the flag) flush the toilet. Make sure to read all the datacubes, they contain the Quote File divided into something like fourteen pieces. This is a one way trip so make sure you have a game saved before doing this.
