How to unlock the Lesser Evil achievement in DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION - Definitive Guide
This is the side quest where you are asked to retrieve security footage from Tindall that he is holding in order to blackmail Carella. This side quest is available once you complete the Sarif Manufacturing mission (1st true mission).
Step by step guide.
1. Talk to Carella in your office at the Sarif HQ (I believe your office is on the 2nd floor) and accept the quest.
2. Go to Tindall's apartment complex (it is to the upper-right as you leave Sarif HQ) and either hack the front gate or climb up the fire escape to gain entry. EDIT: The security gate is level 2, so you will need to upgrade your hacking. If you choose the fire escape method you will have to use a crate. **credit to Hirsute Dave for recommending these two notes be added**
EDIT #2: As Nod Nolan pointed out, there is also an adjacent fire escape with a wooden ramp that will also allow you to jump to Tindall's apartment complex.
3. Find Tindall's actual apartment and hack the computer (Note: While hacking the computer a goon will come in looking for Tindall. You will have to take care of him, because I don't believe he will leave otherwise).
4. Meet Tindall outside in a nearby alley where he will ask you to take care of a couple of pushers. They are around the corner and near a basketball court. You may either knock them out or kill them.... Whichever you decide.
5. Once taken care of, return to Tindall where you first met him and talk to him once again.
6. Once you have talked to Tindall meet up with Carella near the subway station.
7. Get your 10 Points.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me, or comment below. If you vote negative explain why...
Moving a nearby crate onto the dumpster should give you access to the fire escape if you can't hack the gate.
Missable! Lesser Evil is a sidequest in Detroit that is initiated by entering your office on the 3rd floor of Sarif Industries HQ and reading your email (password is in a Pocket Secretary on your desk). After the Manufacturing Plant incident (Story Mission M1), return to your office and Carella will plead for your help. Ask for a reward and agree to help him.
Walkthrough:
Carella is being threatened by a man named Tindall, whom you can find on the way to Apartment Blocks north of Sarif HQ. He is leaning against a red container. First you need to hack into his apartment, on your left as you head towards the Basketball Court.
Go through his computer then go back and talk to him. Tindall will reveal that he has his own troubles. You can either threaten him to cough up the evidence, or help him deal with 2 Punks located at the Basketball Court further up. Neutralize the punks with Non-Lethal means if you’re going for Pacifist
Whichever path you take, speak with Carella near the stairs to the subway. He rewards you with a Laser Targeting System upgrade (if you asked for a reward earlier) and the trophy.
*Save*
This should the first side mission you gain for when you get outside onto the streets of Detroit. After you've spoken to David Sarif in his office, you'll need to head to your office where upon you'll meet Tim Carella. Quick note; Check your computer for a received email from Greg Thorpe.
This is a two part side mission. The save is for the two drug dealers Tims ex colleague Tindall needs you take out. Save before you deal with them just in case they go hostile. You can simply walk up to them, so try a stun gun + quick takedown combo on them.
