did it this exactly way and it didnt pop.

On my second run I got to chip just to see what it was like and yes it is pain, but to be honest he was the easiest boss to beat as he was very predictable and you don't even need your augs to make it work. Mines are the best way I've found but you will need a good few. In Detroit II there are loads so make sure you keep a good set (at least five).

Strategy I used on both runs on the hardest setting was, firstly get away from him at the start and get to the outer part of the room and start running laps around it. As long as you don't stop running he won't usually come out to you, he stays in the centre of the room and climbs over the screen in the middle of the room. If you keep running he gets 'stuck' there and ends up climbing the screen over and over again trying to get to you (as you appear on the other side of the room by the time he has recovered from landing). Now this is you chance to lay on the pain. Just chuck a mine into the middle of the room as you go past and he should just climb right onto it. Boom! Five of those should do it. Also by staying on the outer edge you shouldn't set on of your own mines off my mistake as well.

You could use guns to do the same thing if you don't have enough mines (my first run I didn't so I had to use a fully modded Assault Rifle I'd been keeping, the auto lock on is useful here), it'll just take longer. But the secret is to keep moving, don't stop and don't go toe-to-toe with him. With or without your augs that won't work. Note that your inventory items still work (energy and health items), they just won't show it on the HUD since it's messed up, but they do work.

That's because the conversation is "scrambled" each playthrough. Makes it nearly impossible to have a guide on it, but you'll pretty much have to watch Sarif and, if you have CASIE, read his profile to make the best decision. I think there are also videos letting you know every possible way, but I'm not sure how reliable those actually are.

I use this guide so I dont miss anything or forget... i also got another guide that goes into more detail with pics and stuff just incase i get confused.
IMO the IGN guide for this game is great and has lots of pics n vids.

Been following your guide and so far it's been a big help though there is one issue I think you should address regarding the Throwdown achievement. When I first got to the convention center I went straight for all the e-books and while doing that I tend to hack everything I can find and apparently hacking one of the computers I did or framing him makes it impossible to confront Taggart.

Anyway didn't realize this till I was going after the guy in the sewers for the Last Straw achievement. He didn't try to kill himself but he did attack me after scene.

So for the sake of anyone who may make the same mistake I did, you should probably put that warning in there somewhere. Really sucks to get to the end and then find out you fucked yourself out of some achievements.

Great guide but I found one thing concerning me.
You wrote that in Hacking: Capture only 6/8 mods is required/helpfull, excluding turret & bots capture. But there are 2 bots in Tai Yong Medical hangar which you need to destroy/diseble. I'm not sure if destroting them won't screw no kill achievement and if you want to disable them you have to use 2 Praxis for 'Turret & Robot Domination'

just finished my first playthrough using this guide and didnt miss one achievement....now to go back n go phyco on everyone and everything...thx rokkyrok

[Lord Forbes]

Thank you for the taking the time and effort to make such a great guide! Just finished last night and got all 1000. Thanks!

[Hoborg]

Please fix your roadmap. All the other guides list the difficulty as a 6/10. It's definitely not a 4/10. That's misleading and will make people think the achievements are easy. They are not, for a western RPG, this one is actually a challenge mainly because of the glitchy nature of foxiest of hounds and the one where you can't take damage.

[holalinguamegaz]

Perfect guide. Got yesterday my 1000 without any problem.
Thank you.

[Nitnoid]

This is, by far, the best guide out there for not missing anything. Used it for both plays and worked like a charm, especially for the e-books and possible misses. Thank you!

[xXVanitasXx]

Thanks for the guide!

[Dark Fury BE]

You are a life saver. Thanks for the walkthrough. I was just about to start the game so i will make good use of it

[Tsaako]

Cheers for the guide, I did think It could of been layed out a bit better but it still has everything needed to know.

[terrett101]

Good guide, just what I was looking for to minimise spoilers but also not miss any achievements. Managed all but Foxiest in one playthrough, did a speed run right after to pick up that.

Couple of edits should be made though to Detroit II. A post above detailed this issue, but I'll expand on it a little. Both The Throwdown and The Last Straw are missable, but not just because you can screw up the conversations. Similarly to The Desk Job in Detroit I, both these achievements will be missed if you sneak to the objective in the Convention Center. You can not confront Taggart once you've gained the information on Sandoval's location from his computer. Additionally, Sandoval becomes hostile if you did not successfully confront Taggart earlier (placing the recording on the computer may be a work around here).

Regardless though, to save yourself hassle if you're following this guide, make sure to confront (and succeed) Taggart in room 2005 to find Sandoval's location. You can then confront Sandoval, and ideally get both these achievements. CASIE helps a lot here obviously. Do not sneak into the backstage area or you will lose the chance to get both of these.

Thanks a ton for this guide!

It's great that everything is in order that way it's not so confusing.

[Agent Aero]

Great thread mate, really helped me out.

[Ingen Kommentar]

Followed you guide, but in Shanghai II where you say point of no return. You say before you activate the bomb, but thats not right it is The Seaportthat is the point of no return, you can't get back from there. Learned it on the hard way.
Still missed the "ladies man" do to i didn't had the right aug. so needed more point to get a praxis, to carried on but that was a mistake

[David562]

Can you please be more specific about rhe book in Derilect Row? Is it past the people in the couch, in the big courtyard, what flooe etc..

[Achiever TM]

That's what I was looking for. Every road map should look like this. Great work thanks

[hulot]

Thanks for the guide!

[Jas x God]

Finally picked this game up today, gonna use your guide. Thanks a bunch.

[Achiever TM]

After beating the game for the first time I unlocked every single achievement except pacifist! The only time I killed normal enemies was in the last boss, maybe I killed an enemy by accident. Anyway playing again on easy will be very very fast and this time I don't need to hide all the time, complete sidequests or collect ebooks!

EDIT: after some research for my new playthrough on easy I found that if enemies die on last boss fight it might prevent pacifist to unlock, so I reloaded a save before last boss, switched to easiest difficulty and beated it as fast as I could. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! So if pacifist doesn't unlock for you try to beat last boss without any enemy dying to see if it unlock before attempting a new playthrough!

Thanks for the guide, it was very useful!
