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

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
Please refer to 'Sentimental Value' for more information.
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.
