How to unlock the Motherly Ties achievement in DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION - Definitive Guide

*Minor spoilers ahead.*

This achievement requires the investigation into Megan Reed's death for her mother. This takes place in the first stage of the game before you go to China and therefore should be completed before your departure.

The main reason I made this solution was to point out a piece of this investigation that can garner a second achievement (which I missed for being too nice!!). That achievement is ...
Deus Ex: Human RevolutionSecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Deus Ex: Human Revolution worth 24 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement

During the last stage of your investigation the 'bracelet' will be in a safe by the police station along with the rest of the evidence, make sure to pick it up. (Edit: For people who are having problems getting to the cold case locker it's on the 2nd floor of the police station, go past Capt. Penn's office to where it says exit. You'll need level 2 hacking and it then exits you out into the alley way with the locker.) This is Megan's and during your final talk with her Mom you are given the option of returning it. Being a nice Adam Jensen I gave it to her and missed out on the achievement 'Sentimental Value'.

Basically complete this Side Quest and when given the option, 'Keep the Bracelet' and you will get 2 achievements, 'Motherly Ties' and 'Sentimental Value'.

Good luck and stay stealthy.

*Feedback and questions are welcome.*

Paddy, find the subway tunnels and using the map go to where it looks like your just past the police station. Exit there, grab the box and put at the bottom of the ladder, go up the ladder and you can hack your way through the door there. hope that helps

^^ I also love the leg augment that ups your jumping ability. That coupled with wall breaking strength and good hacking equals access to almost anywhere, lol.

^^Man, that sucks, I've become quite sensitive to glitches since Deathspank and G'damn Rudoplh.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/944089-deus-ex-human-revoluti... (that's a thread from GameFaqs, but from what I've read the only thing to try is re-load an old save and pray, sorry and good luck)

For the people with that problem. That next section is about the bracelet. Do you have it? If not go crack the safe in the in the storage locker. That might help? If you do have it, you may want to try dropping it or something to at least get the one achievement and then leave a save until they fix the glitch.

I had the same problem. Went to an earlier save and tried again. Same result. Lot's of other gamers are having the same issue. There is a comment from one gamer who claims to have called Eidos about the issue. Eidos claimed there would be no patch to fix the issue. Strange thing is, my buddy is also playing at the hardest difficulty and he got the achievement for this yesterday. It must have something to do with the way you gather the clues. Sucks for sure!

Missable! Motherly Ties, is a Detroit Sidequest automatically given to you by Mrs. Reed after completing your 1st Mission and leaving Sarif Industries HQ. She will approach you at the main entrance and ask that you speak with Ex-Detective Chase, who is located near Tindall. He's now a Security Guard for one of the Apartment Blocks.

Chase will provide you with 3 leads. Follow-up and complete them, remembering to grab “Megan’s Bracelet” from the safe in Back-Alley Storage. Mrs. Reed will meet you at the Chiron Building lobby when you’re finished. You can choose to give her the bracelet or keep it which unlocks Sentimental Value

Walkthrough:

This quest is heavily tied in with Story Mission “Investigating The Suicide Terrorist”. Chase will give you 3 leads:

1. Find out what you can from Chet Wagner
2. Hack into Capt. Penn’s computer
3. Retrieve the case investigation files from the Alley Storage

All 3 are located at the Police Precinct. If you convince Wayne Haas to let you in, you will have a much easier time moving around.

Chet Wagner is located at the front desk, but won’t cough up anything until you hack his computer on the 3rd Floor and intimidate him with whatever info you’ve learnt from it.

Capt. Penn’s office is on the 2nd Floor. You will need to either hack the door (stealthily) or access it via the vent in the corridor to the right of his office.

The corridor beside Penn’s office leads to the Fire Escape Ladder, which you can use to access the locked Storage (near O’Malley). Read the 4 e-books here, hack open the safe then read Megan’s note and grab the important Megan’s Bracelet which is needed for Sentimental Value

At the very beginning of the game, as soon as you leave the Sharif Industries building, you will meet Megan Reed's mother. Take the quest from her and investigate the case. While completing this quest, you can get the " Sentimentality " trophy. Just don't forget to search the vault behind the police station.

After completing all the conditions of the quest, return to your home, where Megan Reed’s mother will be waiting for you in the lobby of the building.
