How to unlock the Desert Spear achievement in Alpha Protocol - Definitive Guide
After you finish the boss fight in Arabia Saudi against a Stryker, Shaheed will come out and you'll have to choose to spare him or to kill him. Kill him to get this achievement.
NOTE: This is mandatory in order to get the "Judge, Jury, and Executioner" achievement, in which you'll have to kill everyone whenever you have to choose. If you spare him, it will count towards the "Ask Questions First, Shoot Later" achievement, in which you'll have to do the opposite.
Upon finishing off the Stryker boss in Saudi Arabia, you will be able to finally talk with Shaheed. No matter what you say to him, towards the end of the conversation, you will be given the choice between executing him, or setting him free. For this achievement, you must execute Shaheed when you are given the chance.
In the case that you spare him before, you'll have another chance to execute him at the end of the game. Before the final mission, if you spared Shaheed earlier on, you will gain the mission "Contact Sheikh Ali Shaheed". Throughout the conversation, you will be given several opportunities to execute him. Either way, the achievement will unlock after his death.
This trophy will either be awarded at the end of the mission "Intercept Shaheed and Recover Missiles" or at the end of the "Contact Sheikh Ali Shaheed" mission you do just before infiltrating Alpha Protocol. In either case, using the "Execute" command will terminate Shaheed and earn you the trophy.
