Marchenko: Non-Lethal + Ghost with 3 methods - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Описание: 3 different non-lethal methods for defeating the final boss Viktor Marchenko while remaining undetected (Ghost + Smooth Operator).

Marchenko is very resistant to most forms of non-lethal damage, but goes down after a single takedown. However, like Exo-suit guards, he normally counters Adam's attempts at melee takedown and must be stunned before it can be performed. There are two main issues with getting Ghost in that case, as you'll lose it if you:
1) Shoot him with a stun gun or TESLA.
2) Initiate a takedown from the front (i.e. while standing in a 180 degree arc in front of him).
To avoid this you have to:
1) Use a tranquilizer rifle or EMP mines/grenades to stun him.
2) Initiate a takedown from behind.

Smooth Operator is simple, as all you have to do is not trigger the laser mines. The order you do missions M16 (Stopping Marchenko) and M17 (Protecting the Future) doesn't matter for either, if you are going for a non-lethal method.

The 3 methods I show here:

00:00 Boss' intro
I choose to simply fight him, but using the jammer should work too. For some reason, choosing the Kill Switch option voids Ghost if you do it before saving the delegates.

00:33 Augs + Weapon + Takedown
All you need is 1 tranquilizer shot, an invisibility cloak and a few biocells (and not to forget to perform a takedown from behind). Focus isn't necessary but it makes it easier to get to him in time before the stun effect fizzles out and before the drones get deployed. Silent running is only needed to avoid raising suspicion from Marchenko, which is not required for Ghost.

01:08 Weapon only
Just pump 50+ tranquilizer darts into him and he'll go to sleep. Works great with the DLC semi-auto tranquilizer, but takes forever with the basic bolt-action version.

02:10 Augs only
I don't think using Punch Through Wall was an intended method, because if you initiate a takedown while Smart Vision is active you will get stuck in the wall, without knocking out Marchenko. If you simply click "Use" on the weak wall then it should work as shown. Still, this is the only aug-only method I could come up with that doesn't break stealth.

If you want to see a no augs/no weapons method, you can watch my Ghost run:    • Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - No Augs / No It...
