System Rift Achievements (Video Guide)

Here's how to unlock all achievements in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's first story DLC, System Rift.

System Rift

Extract the Data…
Get the data that Pritchard is after from within the Palisade Blade.

Story achievement. Cannot be missed.

Clean Sweep
Complete the System Rift Jensen Story without killing anyone.

Welp. It's straightforward and shouldn't be too hard as there aren't many human enemies on your way. The alternative paths to the objectives are plenty. If you have trouble, simply follow my video.

Murder He Wrote (21:25)

Find all pieces of evidence behind the Saridakis murder.

Talk to the person who shouts in front of The Blade's entrance and listen to his story about how his wife was murdered (21:25). You will then unlock a side objective to uncover the truth about the murder.

• (1/4) will be in Leona's office (42:10). It's an email on her computer in same place where you plant ShadowChild's figurine for the Go Figure achievement. The password for the computer is TRUSTNO1.
  
  
• (2/4) is in Ashani Talwar's office (Palisade CEO - 44:15). It's an email on her computer, which you will have to hack. The place is located before the funicular so it is not really easy to miss.
  
  
• (3/4) is in Chamber 209 in the server room. You will have a side objective at this point to explore that chamber anyway - so make sure you disable all security from the two computers at the entrance of the Chamber Room (48:00). You may need to spare a Praxis point for Rebreather Augment, or risk your life. Whatever method you choose, inside Chamber 209 will be a pocket secretary on the left by the wall (50:20).
  
  
• (4/4) is in the Mainframe Server Chamber for the main objective (52:20). Move the boxes on the desk to the right to reveal an audio pocket secretary. Listen to it and you should unlock the achievement.

Help Desk (35:55)

Get the Blade lobby desk clerk to help you bypass security.

Make sure to tell ShadowChild the truth when you talk to her, be nice to her, accept the side quest she offers, etc. She will then tell you about a receptionist at The Palisade Blade, who is secretly a Ripper. Just enter the lobby of The Blade and talk to the receptionist. Tell him that ShadowChild told you about Baba-Yaga-50 and he will disable the security.

Go Figure (42:10)

Plant ShadowChild's figurine.

This is a side objective from ShadowChild. Accept the firugine when she offers it to you, then you will find Leona's office on the 3rd floor inside The Palisade Blade. Go near her desk and a prompt will appear to place the figurine, which is Garrett from Thief.

Knock Knock

Get Slaw to open the security door within the Palisade Blade.

As I didn't do this in my video, I took some screenshots of Slaw's location inside The Palisade Blade - West Maintenance 2nd Floor.

The acheivement is very easy - all you have to do is talk to him and he will open the door for you. You don't even have to knock him out.

Too Hot to Handle (46:50)

Complete the server chamber area without being detected by any HeatEye cameras or enemies.

Sounds harder than it is, but it can be tricky. I find that it's easiest to do if you take the right as soon as you start making your way to the server room. Just make sure the camera doesn't point at you when you open the door as it will detect you even if you are invisible. Then follow my path and the rest is very easy - hack the two computers and disable all cameras, turrets and robots in the Server Chamber Rooms (48:00). The achievement will unlock as soon as you enter the NSN.

Expose the Truth! (1:06:05)

Decide what to do with the evidence you uncovered.

If you have obtained all the evidence for Murder He Wrote, you will have 2 options in addition to "Destroy the Evidence" (which you shouldn't choose if you want the achievement). I chose to send the evidence to Mr. Saridakis so that he knows what happened to his wife. If you haven't obtained the evidence, simply choose The Darknet, it will still unlock Expose the Truth! for you.

Thanks for the guide !

Concerning what Futeko said, I'm not sure if that's the case. I emptied most rooms accesible before meeting him and didn't tried to hit him in the bar (even if I felt similarly !) I didn't really paid attention about what he said but didn't skipped any dialogue and do not recall any mention of this harassment case. What I remember from these notes and documents is that Blade's HR head seems to be an insufferable person that likes very specific rules. Nevertheless, if this would be a consequence of your action, it would actually be a cool feature, especially in the context of a first playthrough.

Good guide, thank you!

Funnily I managed to get through in one of my first few attempts this morning. Guess I had to sleep on it!

The cameras have a cone of vision and limited range. Use your radar map to see where they are pointing and be patient so that you can move while out of their vision range. This video is also made on Give Me Deus Ex so it should work the same for you. Good luck

How the hell did you run through the heat room at the top of the funicular (46:50) right over the top of those heat detectors and not even come close to attracting the cameras?

Maybe it's because I'm playing on "Give Me Deus Ex" but I can't so much as enter the room without the cameras becoming suspicious. Even when they're facing away they immediately look back if you come even close to a heat detector. I can only get about half way through by the room by going up the middle, but from then on it's basically impossible.

[Futeko]

About "Knock Knock" - during my run of System Rift, I did a non-lethal takedown on Slaw in the basement of the bar (I got sick of being treated like dirt with no consequences). And I don't know whether it's because of that or because of the difficulty (Give Me Deus Ex), but he did not open the door for me right away - he first asked me for a favour. Namely, he asked me to retrieve a file from Human Resources about him (a warning for harassment, located on a pocket secretary).

Only after returning with the file did he open the door for me - and he even referenced the fact I had already knocked him out once in the bar when he asked me to knock him out (again) afterwards.

Chamber 209, you don't even have to risk your life or use the Rebreather aug. There's a valve to your left in a cabinet just before you enter the Server Chamber.
