Central District

The **Central District** or simply **Downtown** is one of the three main sectors of Forum City.

It is a mix of residential and commercial areas.

## Overview

The central district is the first district visited and in PDX control. The player must find 1000 credits in order to leave the area when they first arrive in order to buy a Subway Pass.

## Layout

Upon leaving Phasmatis' Apartment Building a large wall can be seen to the left. To the left of the wall is the subway, giving access to the Corporate District and West Residence District. To the right of the wall the key to apartment five in the apartments can be found between some bricks. Between the wall is the bridge to the Llama Temple, the small canal under it has a hidden area to the right, a datacube inside mentioning a weapon stash in the level.

To the right of the Llama Temple a police checkpoint can be found, where a password to the Downtown Diner can be acquired. To the left of the Llama Temple the FanFic Shop can be found, where the player can read the Twist series and talk to Chris the Cynic and walton simons about theories on the *Deus Ex* series. Jimmycracker can be found in the basement, giving a quest to retrieve his Valuable Painting for 350 credits. Adjacent to the FanFic Shop is Lt. Boomer's Premium Coffee. Inside lots of coffee can be found, along with the password to the safe of Capt. Apollo's House of Coffee and 170 credits.

Going forward from Phasmatis' Apartment Building is a wooden fence that can be broken to find a cargo area with a truck that can be broken into for ammunition. To the right of the apartment building Helga's Kraut Kastle can be entered, where Master Kale is located. The south east of the level contains a police checkpoint where a Firewall agent can be talked to to receive a quest to deal with the N00Bz and Master Kale. Opposite the police checkpoint a button can be pressed to open a vent and reveal Easter Egg #2.

South of the level Sol's Bar can be entered and to the right of it its back alley where SymGeosis lives. The back alley to the freezer is used by DXO to reach the DXO HQ and connects to Aemer's apartment building, who can be talked to to request access to his fire escape to enter the alley. To the right of the Aemer's apartment and Sol's Bar is the brick abandoned building, where the Goats have abducted a Llama member who can be returned to Abomination for 380 credits.

Behind the abandoned apartments is a Goat storage area and the hidden entrance to Goat City. The ledges behind the building can also be climbed. The ledge with a tree has a vent that can be opened to access ZeroPresence's apartment. The ledge to the right of it without a tree has garbage bags which can be broken open to reveal the earlier mentioned weapon stash, giving a Stealth Pistol. To the right of that and above the Goat City entrance is one of the secret Narcissus Events, the source cube. The abandoned building can be climbed with the attached ladder to allow the player to jump to the adjacent building, finding an Augmentation Upgrade Canister and 120 credits in the room inside after dropping down to the balcony. The Downtown Diner can be found below the building, giving another 90 credits.

The basketball court is behind the diner, where Pimp-Jojo can be found after finishing his quest. Right of the basketball court is the Voodoo Teleporter phonebooth, allowing easy access to the other districts when unlocked. The brick wall beside it can be climbed over to gain access to the underground tunnel and find the N00Bz hideout, along with a Repair Bot. Right of the tunnel access and behind the subway is the Rent'n'Repent Video shop. The building behind and attached to Phasmatis' Apartment Building contains Capt. Apollo's House of Coffee on the upper floor, with 350 credits to be found in the safe. The windows of the shop can also be climbed out of to find a Bioelectric Cell. Whoever can also be found outside of the subway exit.
