How to unlock the Apex Predator achievement in Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Definitive Guide

This is the "Apex Predator" achievement.

You get this by taking out Burke in the boss fight without being detected. When you enter the area where Burke is at (after his cutscene), stay to the left side, moving from crate to crate using stealth techniques. You will eventually get to an open cargo container which you can cut through (watch out for hostile guards...you can hide in the container until they lose track of you and go back to alert status).

Once through the crate, again stay to the left, working your way toward the area where Burke is at. You probably need to take out a guard down on the floor, then climb the ladder to the next level, watching out for the guard on the roof of Burke's booth. When the guard is looking the other way, go to the booth, climb the ladder and take out this guard as well.

You are now on the roof of the room where Burke is. On the side opposite the ladder you went up, there is an open hatch. Look through it to see where Burke is and make sure he's not looking in your direction. Drop through silently, sneak up on Burke and take him down to get the achievement.

I don't see any mention of the turret here. That is an issue after going through the crate.

You really need to make a couple of items clear here:

1.) After the cutscene with Burke you need to move fast and take cover. Seriously, I had the robot go hostile and, even though no one else spotted me after that, I got nowhere with this achievement.

2.) If you are going for Factor Zero as well do yourself a favor and make a new save once you find some cover. Use those praxis points you have been ignoring and unlock cloak and the battery recharge (and an extra battery or two). Obviously after you take down Burke, reload the previous save and continue on to get Factory Zero.

3.) The alarm state you see on the screen is scripted, meaning it is in effect regardless of if you get spotted.

I was on hostile all the way guys. Everyone saw me. The trick is that when just the boss is there in red and know where you are wait in cover before going in. Your radar will turn alert. Now you wait for his arrow to turn left. Now is the time to go for him and achievement pop!

ParadoxReal8 FTW thank you for this tip, I got the achievement being spotted multiple times and just reverting back from HOSTILE to ALARM state and made sure the target was a yellow arrow icon again. Then dropped in and obtained my achievement

The "area where Burke is" is loading bay 3. But yeah like you said you will know you are there when the cutscene happens. You do not need to be stealthy in the two previous loading bays if you don't want to. (I thought he was in the first bay and kept reloading my save if i was caught)

Personally, i just maxed out the invisibility aug and kept refilling it with the many energy bars I had. I causally walked through the area all the way to the top of burkes office. Took that guy out. Made a save before dropping in. Was glad i did cuz he went hostile for a split second. Reloaded the save went invisible before dropping in this time. Got it.

Missable! This is the boss fight against Burke and his team, where you must perform a takedown on Burke without being detected. When the cut-scene ends you'll want to immediately take cover behind the wall in front of you can then stealth your way towards the left of the area into a cargo container. Once inside the container be careful when you exit due to the turret station. Make your way past the guard either taking him out with a non-lethal takedown and then carefully climb up the ladder. Once up the ladder, you'll want to climb up the second ladder and takeout the guard with the heavy rifle on the roof. Now drop down below the hole in the ceiling and stealth up to Burke and perform a non-lethal takedown on him for your trophy. Video credit goes to PragPD.

To get this achievement, you need to perform a takedown on Burke without him going hostile. As soon as the cutscene with Burke ends, immediately take cover. Wait until the sniper on the left catwalk moves away, and then sneak past the mech until you reach a container with two ammo boxes in it. Turn around, and climb up on the metal support, then jump to the container. Turn right and jump down, and then immediately take cover. Sneak past the guard and the turret and go to the ladder, then wait until the heavy that is on the ceiling of the outpost that Burke is in turns away from you and climb up the next ladder. Perform a non-lethal takedown on the heavy (so you don't alert Burke and his guards) and then jump through the small hole below you. Burke will be staring out of the window, and you can just sneak up behind him and perform a takedown on him.

Getting the trophy is very simple: you just need to climb onto the lid of the cockpit in which Burke locked himself, kill the guard who will be patrolling there, sit down and jump into the hole. Next, we sneak up behind him and press takedown, the trophy is yours.

ZY After you neutralize the thug on the roof, wait until Burke's triangle turns Yellow.

The trophy is very easy to do, just be careful on the roof (where Burke is hiding, snipers can see you at any moment)

Clarification - it is necessary for the GG to choke (we approach exactly from the back) - and not punch him in the face.

Naturally, the character should be marked in yellow

I got it on the 3rd try.

The trophy is given on the condition that you will not be detected when you approach Berk.

After the cutscene (when I came to the hangar where he was holed up) I ran ahead, climbed onto the roof of the closet, waited until everything calmed down, neutralized Burke... and broke off with the trophy. As a result, I had to load an old save and go through this place in stealth.

In general, there is no need to kill anyone, the achievement is done together with the achievement Plant Zero, along the left edge of the hall we reach the container (hiding from the walking robot), then from the container to the left, past the capsules, and voila we are at the ladder to the fish tank, where Burke is sitting... we strangle the guard (not to death, otherwise Factory Zero is a failure) and here we are at Berk, without noise and dust, after we stun Berk, the robot and turrets explode - that’s it, you can strangle the remaining 4 soldiers and that’s it, having achieved Main Predator and Factory Zero (unless, of course, you haven’t pinned anyone before or used praxis and other gadgets) in your hands
