Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's final boss encounter sees Adam Jensen taking on the tanky bullet sponge Viktor Marchenko.

And though players can skip the fight altogether by seeking out the hidden kill switch and pressing it to detonate the bomb inside Marchenko's head, that'll also invalidate your pacifist run.

For those going the non-lethal route, there's an hilariously easy way to end the fight in around 10 seconds: just go into stealth, stun him with an electric shock, and then move in for a melee takedown. That's it.

Many players actually stumbled upon this solution themselves through sheer ingenuity, leaving them colossally disappointed that the game wrapped up with such an underwhelming final showdown.
