Symmetry achievement and her escape path sucks

[Toma Arnesto]

Ok, let me start by saying that the fact that she can teleport right into your vault is NOT the most annoying part about her. No, the most annoying part is the fact that even if you open up your base COMPLETELY (no traps or doors or long winding corridors) she will STILL roam your base completely from top to bottom, trying EVERY possible path in EVERY room.. Since I was aiming for the achievement 'Perfectly Balanced, As All Things Should Be' I had to wait for over 30 real time minutes before she decided that enough is enough and left my base..
I would suggest those who are aiming for this achievement to play on easy, make the smallest possible base that you can, don't bother with loot (she will just steal that too on the way out) and have as little heat as possible so that, unlike me, you will not be slaughtered by agents while she finds out that if she turned left instead of right she would have been out ages age..

Thats very odd. I always assumed she would bline for the exit and actually steal your stuff.

She seems to visit most of the other rooms, likely looking for loot to steel.

Seems like if all you want is achievement, than when she comes, just destroy all other rooms and leave a lone corridor to exit.

The benefits of hindsight, eh? Its why I made this post :/

But yeah, filling up all the base and then luring her with a mission is the safest option for the achievement but you would still need to play on easy so that while she comes over no other agents can slaughter your minions and ruin the place until she leaves.

Same thing happened with Agent X for me.

I had an objective to defeat him, and I thought the game was broken because I defeated all his minions but didn't complete the objective.

Then about 10-15 minutes later I saw him wandering aimlessly around my base. The only reason I noticed him was because he was leaving a trail of broken traps where ever he went.

Honestly I just use traps as an alarm system, since I don't get an audio notification when Agents arrive on the island, but I do when a trap is set off. And even if they Agents bypass the traps, they leave an obvious trail of electrified sparking traps.

Yeah I did that achievement earlier. I basically turned off all security and traps. It took her almost 2 hours to leave while the game was left on fast...

She spent 45 minutes stuck in the vault, did a lap of my whole base, walked to the exit, then did another whole lap of my base. It might be an example of the worst ai I have ever seen in any video game. I saved when she first appeared (4:06pm) and when she finally left it was 5:45pm... I was deleting walls so she had a clear walk to the exit as well; she didn't care in the slightest.

pack away any loot you have and left her wonder

I let her leave while doing the side quest "thy fearful symmetry" and... I did not get the achievement. I now am luring her back for a second go of it. Ugh.

I build a small vault right next to the entrance to the base. She appeared there, took gold, walked out, 3 mins top.

She can't be there for part of any main or side mission or it does not work. Just do a world mission in the same region she is in and she will pop over for a cup of tea and a stack of gold.

Also pick up any loot, so she is triggered as 'full' with just the gold she has. If you have loot down, she will just keep exploring.

Just tried it this way, did a gold stealing scheme in the zone she was standing in. No secondary quests active. She comes to my base, steals my 30k gold, leaves and no achievement. Starting to get annoyed now.

I need to double check if I did the 'invite mission' (that one that invites her to your base) that is always up on the region she is on or if I DID a scheme in the region she was in. I will reload an old game and recheck which one triggers it. Sorry if I put you wrong

At what point in the game did you do this? I havn't even unlocked the super weapon in the game I'm trying to do it on.

I actually got it on normal, but I also got it early in the game before I figured out how to avoid super agents, so my base was pretty small and I didn't really have anything for her steal, because I was focusing the main quest line, because I also didn't realize that loot missions expire if you go too far in the main line. The only reason I let her go is because she was not only stealing half my money, but also killing half my minions due to a low minion count as I wasn't really expecting that kind of trouble yet.

[Revenge]

Just got the achievement on the 3rd attempt. I guess the other times I either was not far enough into the game or didn't have enough money stolen to trigger the achievement. To anyone wondering - I completed this during "A moments calm" before unlocking mercenaries.

Wait you can pick loot items back up? I've never seen the option to do that, only move it elsewhere.
