Deus Ex Human Revolution How to Defeat Jaron Namir the Snake with Upgraded Biochip

In deus ex human revolution, one of the most challenging stages is to engage the final of the three human augment bosses Jaron Namir in battle. Naturally winner takes all. The ultimate challenge comes in the form of knowing the art of how to defeat Jaron Namir the Snake with an upgraded biochip.

The upgraded biochip is obtained from the LIMB clinic after Jensen experiences glitches in his augment technology. The "upgraded biochip" is really a biochip which can be manipulated by Tai Yong Medical and Zhao Yun Ru so that Jensen loses his augmented perception, and cannot use his radar, his energy bar senses, his life health senses and his ammunition count. This makes the ultimate fight to defeat Jaron Namir the Snake incredibly difficult and some say almost impossible. Well, not quite.........

In deus ex human revolution, Jaron Namir uses the following battle tactics and knowing these tactics will help a lot in defeating Jaron Namir the Snake. His first few offensive moves are reallyb defensive. First he camouflages the floor with dissected human specimens that move. These human specimens are dissected down to the muscles, and look like him, and it is very difficult to make out which is the real Namir when the whole screen is shaking due to the "upgrade biochip malfunction". Next Namir, much like Yelena Fedorova, will cloak and then uncloak before attacking. In addition, he doesn't play fair and move around the room like any normal combatant. Instead he cloaks and then climbs over the walls to attack Jensen. He will attack using a plasma rifle first, and then will start throwing grenades (the most damaging of all his moves). Then he will cloak and disappear again, and the whole cycle continues.

In deus ex human revolution, once Jensen knows the tactics of Jaron Namir, it is now possible to devise tactics and strategies to defeat him. Now Jensen needs to defeat Jaron Namir using the "upgraded biochip", which means Jensen cannot detect him on the radar when Namir uncloaks. The key to this disadvantage is to position Jensen at one of the four corners of the outer large room so that Jensen's back faces the corner. This will give Jensen the view of two corridors at the same time, where Namir is likely to climb down and attack.

It may be necessary to create the ultimate Jensen augmented fighting machine before entering this fight against Jaron Namir.

When Namir is cloaked, he will appear as a silvery near invisible figure. Spot this figure through the distorted visual field of Jensen, and when Namir has just uncloaked, launch the heaviest weapons at Namir, be it grenades or other weapons. Next, when Namir starts throwing grenades, run! When Jensen is damaged and the screen goes red, just keep running around the perimeter of the outer larger room, until the screen becomes clear again. Also remember to go into this fight with lots of Painkillers, in case the running tactics fail, because Namir can pop up anywhere through climbing the walls.

If the heaviest weapons cannot harm Namir, then it is necessary to resort to some other brain techniques, since excessive firepower cannot seem to harm Namir. The ultimate epiphany comes to Jensen when he realizes that the "upgraded biochip" only affects his visual and sensory perceptions; it does not affect his other augmented functions. Press F1 to cloak and then the designated quickkey button for the Typhoon augment. It works!

So beginning at stage one above, position Jensen so that his back is against the corner. Now when Namir uncloaks, run next to him, and immediately unload the Typhoon augment power. Watch as Namir is stunned and hit by this powerful attack. When the Typhoon cut scene stops, start running again around the outer perimeter of the room, until health is recovered, and then repeat the whole process. With this tactic and strategy, it won't be long before Jaron Namir is defeated!

The rewards for defeating Jaron Namir include the Snake Achievement, obtaining Namir's plasma rifle, and the ability to go onto the next stage of the Deus Ex Human Revolution game - uncovering the whole truth behind the kidnapping of the Sarif scientists and the ultimate betrayal.....
