Hard to get achievements

Now let's wait for Atom Team's new achievements that are bound to show up with the eventual updates.

Power of Simplicity

This achievement is obtained during the final confrontation of the Sins Of The Past quest given by Dandelion the pimp in TG outskirts.

Requirements:

• Intelligence <5
  
• Luck >5

If you meet the conditions above you need to choose the "vigilante justice" line, offer 100 rubles and then choose the [Luck] line. Mission accomplished.

Goose Sacrifice

This method unlocked Goose Sacrifice achievement for me specifically.
The prerequisite for this achievement is in the very beginning of the game - the guy who has locked his keys inside the car in TG outskirts needs your help. Help him without using the [Attention] line. Most likely you'll have enough for the [Lockpick] option.

Requirements:

• Lockpicking >99
  
• Attention >5
  
• Personality >7

Attention spots your reward, personality lets you ask for it succesfully, and you need to return it after asking for it.

During the Sins of the Past quest, same as the achievement before, it unlocked for me when I chose the same lines but had Luck of 5.

It's very likely the goose acts as a theoretical 1 Luck point which gets used up the next time you'd need it. So for my particular case, I had luck 5, needed 6+ to succeed and the goose yielded success. Therefore it should work outside Sins of the past quest as long as you are 1? luck point behind.

It probably needs more than 1 luck dialogue trigger in this way. Good options are human BBQ guys when you search for clues for Krasnoznamenny's mailman or fixing the radio for the older guy at the beginning of the game.

Second Thought

Can be done only during the Revolutionary questline.

When you are tasked to go the dock's warehouse to procure weapons for your cause, you are given the choice of using a skillcheck and get them for free, OR using nothing but a promise of helping the smugglers out in the future. Promise to help them.

Later on (before going on the strike in factory) I was contacted by Truther in front of Outskirts' hotel to help Milkman. Milkman asks you to get the drugmilk-cow from Grey Corner area. Get it by passing any skillcheck and when talking to Milkman back in docks tell him the cow seems sad and you reconsidered. Kill everyone. Cow leaves during the combat and you'll find her back in Grey Corner. Talk to her owner and achievement accomplished.

Escalation of Conflict

This can be done only during the Police questline.

When you are tasked in the last police quest to take down revolutionaries in their hideout, you are first sent to the bookseller in Second Tier. He caves under pressure and tells you about their hideout on Kolotushkin Street. Get in there, find the bunker, enter it and start a cutscene dialogue. Choose whatever you fancy (the Luck options are generally the best as they award the most XP while being funny to do) followed by attacking everyone anyway.

In combat, run away from the bunker back to the street, get back to Police station, tell your police commander you found the bunker. He'll send backup. When you enter Kolotushkin street again there's going to be a full-on street shootout and achievement unlocks.

Yes, it is unnecessarily convoluted but that's Atom achievements for ya. :)

Sick Freak

Find Slava in Scrap Quarter, chat him up and make sure you tell him to go out in the world by himself without offering to speak to his mother on his behalf.
In 2 days he'll be gone, mother tells you off. You find Slava behind the van near Haishen (the dog) in Outskirts. He tells you he offers sexual experience for rubles/drugs.

Trail back to his mother and tell her what happened to her son. She dies of a heart attack. Get back to Slava and tell him his mom died. He asks for black lotus to commemorate her. Give him one bag and ask for sex in return.

Holy Mountain

For this achievement, just to be on the safe side, save before talking to Kung-Lan (old guy in brothel) for the 1st time as you need to tell him exactly what he wants to hear upon meeting him BEFORE you even take the quest.

"Whenever I visit a place, I speak to everyone..." and then exhaust his dialogue tree multiple times (pengyou, brothel, everything,...), tell him if he has a quest, you MUST take it.

When you get him everything he wants, choose "Life has no meaning?..." followed by "Believe it or not,..." If you didn't do everything right and proceed with the quest, upon its resolution he tells you you failed to convince him that you'd go to any length to get to know the real truth.

If you do everything right, you'll be greeted by a unique piece of dialogue and get a nice spoiler :P

[VLADIMIR PROTIEN]

thanks alot for help

[Queegon]

Added the escalation of conflict achievement from a guide by @SтранниK after trying it out myself.

[[FSH]FARAicool]

@Queegon этот квест, судя по всему, не ведет к ачивке.

[Queegon]

@Luka I already overwritten the save but you get a quest during Revolutionary line to prevent the police from arresting a rich woman in second tier. If you attack the police instead of trying to run, wouldn't that qualify?

[Maxine]

Anyone figure out "Escalation of Conflict" yet?

[Queegon]

And finally realized what was the reason for Holy Mountain!

[Queegon]

[Queegon]

@Solitz

You need 4 Int or less. < 5 is exactly that.
