Versalife Vault

[tunnelcat]

Is there anyway to get into the Versalife Vault if you don't complete the Heist Mission or is it locked out once you decide to save the bomb maker?

It doesn't exist if you don't choose the mission, basically. You CAN get into the other vaults, Picus, Tarvos, and Tai Yong, but not the Versalife one.

I guess you can't get the antidote for the last mission then. That puts a kink in things.

That's why there is a choice. You can get one but not the other, so it restricts what you might be able to do. If you don't get one of the kill switch or the antidote, some portion of the last mission will mean people die. You'd have to be very quick to save the delegation and then run to Marchenko, it can be done. But you can't save Miller if you don't have the antidote, and you can't stop Marchenko's explosives - you CAN stop HIM before he detonates though.

The part about Miller is true but anyone else dying or the "very quick" part is not. I was actually confused by this from what I've read on the wikis and forums because I didn't find this to be true the two times I played (taking the two different paths). After you find Miller, you can actually take your sweet time getting to the delegates (I spent waaay over the 10 minutes taking out all the guards). The timer doesn't start until you get to the delegates. Then if you take the secret door to Marchenko (which'll take about 30 seconds) you can fight him (don't even need the killswitch or the bomb disabler) and he won't detonate the bombs. You can do this regardless of which path you take (I've done both). Of course you can only save Miller with the Versalife path.

I always have trouble *finding the delegates*.

Seriously that place is a freaking rat maze to me. I know I figured it out last year but last time I played recently it confused the heck out of me >_> wandering blindly through hall after hall. It's like... one door, one really easy door to reach them, but I get so turned around lol.

If you go for Marchenko first, you can take all the time you need, to take him down (lethal or non-lethal) but, once he's taken down, then you have 10 minutes to find the delegates.

If you don't get to Brown and the delegates within the 10 minute window, you can still save them if you have the antidote found in the Versalife vault (provided you didn't give it to Miller). If however, you took longer than 20 minutes, you'll walk into the VIP room and find everyone dead.

If you go for the delegates first, you have 10 minutes to find Marchenko and stop him. Once you enter the exhibition hall, the timer quits and you can take your time with him. He only blows the towers if you're late finding him.

There's a secret door that connects the VIP room and the Exhibition room. In the VIP room, it's at the North end of the room. In the Exhibition hall, it's at the West end on the upper level.

The safest way I've found to do the last missions is to follow orders and take out all the phoney Tarvos guards in the reception hall, quietly and without anyone noticing. After seeing Miller in the catering area, I go through the meeting rooms area, taking out hostiles as needed while making my way to the elevator that goes down to the VIP rooms. After stopping Brown and the delegates from drinking, I go out throught the secret door and meet with Marchenko. It only takes a few seconds. He won't blow the towers and I have the option to fight or use the kill switch (that I picked up in the catering area.

I don't think I've found that hidden door yet, I still have London saved at start (less the antidote) with the bomb makers multi-tool n big vik's kill switch (why idk can't use both) I'll pick it up from my prague pt2 save and see where I can take it.
