How to unlock the Respected Enemies achievement in Alpha Protocol - Definitive Guide

In Rome, you'll have three opportunities to talk to Marburg. First, in the "Contact Jibril al-Bara" mission; second, at Marburg's villa, and third, at the Museum. In the museum you'll need to take the right-hand path at the decision point to defuse the bomb at the exhibit instead of saving Madison (choosing Madison will cause Marburg to lose respect for you).

In all of your conversations with Marburg you should choose the B button path (professional stance). This will max out his respect for you. Then, after the boss fight in the museum the achievement will unlock, shortly before the ending cutscene.

(Thanks to Boost17 for reminding me of the third conversation)

I think you need to be at +10 (Friendship) and beat him in the fight to get the achievement. It's possible to get +8 from the first conversation with him at the cafe, and another +2 from both the conversation at his villa, and the meeting at the museum.

Thanks! I had totally forgotten about the villa conversation, too.

I believe you need to have +10 with him before meeting him at the Museum. I managed to get +10 (Friendship) with him after he gave me +1-2 for choosing to disarm the bomb, instead of rescuing Madison. Beat him, but didn't get the achievement.

Nevermind, got it on another playthrough. Got the +10 during the final conversation. Must have done something to piss him off at the last second and not notice it, either that or a glitch.

If you have chosen "poorly" some of your actions early in the game, Marburg will have "automated" negative reaction towards you. So even if you choose the B option every time in the cafe, you only get +6 and not +8.

See Youth Trumps Experience for more info.

This achievement is the exact opposite of Youth Trumps Experience, so you have to take a much different approach. Marburg respects those that are loyal, and finish what they start. That means, use nothing but Professional responses with him.

Eventually, when you get to the mission "Intercept Marburg at the Museum of Art", stick yet again with Professional answers before the boss fight. After you've damaged him enough, he will talk to you yet again. Simply stick with Professional answers again, and he will retreat. After that, the achievement will unlock.

 

WARNING: If you plan on getting this achievement, make sure that you decide to disarm the bombs. Even if you get Marburg to like you, you won't get this achievement by saving Madison. As such, follow the Road Map strategy, and make sure you go for the bombs.
