* You can backtrack through any mission / hostile area. So you can stealth your way through up to (and including) the boss, get all the ghost and no-alarm experience, then go all the way back to the start to knock everyone out and loot all the stuff (the exception being Sarif's manufacturing, where you can't knock people out after the boss, but can still loot stuff and get exploration xp). | * You can backtrack through any mission / hostile area.

* You get "Ghost" xp if you get to your goal without any human or bot enemies being sure they saw you ("Hostile" status), any cameras going red, or any enemies seeing a body.

* The punch-through-walls aug costs one Praxis, and there are *two* places where breaking a wall gets you a Praxis kit, so it's a no-brainer. (You can break weakened walls, but they're not highlighted without the aug, so that may or may not be cheating depending on your POV). | * The punch-through-walls aug costs one Praxis, and there are *two* places where breaking a wall gets you a Praxis kit, so it's a no-brainer.
