How to unlock the Smash the State achievement in DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION - Definitive Guide
Right after you speak with Bill Taggart and get the next mission to find Isaias Sandoval, you will be leaving the convention center. As soon as you walk out the big double doors, Nicholas will be waiting for you. You cannot miss this, it instantly jumps you into a cutscene with him. He asks for your help in finding Jacob and defusing a bomb he might have.
Accept the mission and Nicholas will tell you Jacob might be In the Sewers, the Metro Tunnel, or the Alley. Leave Nicky and head for the sewers infront of the Police Station. Once you enter the sewers, you will hear the beeping noised indicating all the mines he has placed in your way. Shoot them and continue on.
After a very short distance you will come across a turret and Jacob. I charged the turret and hit Jacob with the stun gun, to get the extra bonus for not killing him. Head around the corner to the left and tap into his computer there. Don't worry about time, there is no time limit. Disarm the turrets, then follow your next waypoint to the location of the bomb.
Now at this spot you can also get the achievement for making a lucky guess at the passcode. The passcode is 0000. Enter that number in and the achievement will pop right away.
Head back to Nicky and tell him that the mission is complete and Jacob is either dead or unconscious. After talking with him, the achievement will pop and you can continue on.
Missable! Officer Nicholas (Nicky) gives you the “Smash the State” sidequest upon leaving the Convention Centre in Detroit. He needs help locating a crook named Jacob who intends to blow up the Police Force with a Bomb. This is your chance to earn Lucky Guess .
Walkthrough:
You’ll need to first convince or calm Nick down to narrow down the possible locations where Jacob might be: Back alley of Police Precinct, Transit Station & The Sewers.
- Head directly to the Sewers.
- Disable all Mines along the way to White
- White is protected by 3 turrets, which you want to disable before confronting him
- Alternatively make some noise to attract him outside his comfort zone and disable him
- The bomb is located near to the ladder which one of the turrets is guarding. Do NOT hack it. Input the code 0000 to unlock Lucky Guess
- Go back to Nicky for your reward and trophy. You get a Silencer if you used Non-Lethal methods.
As you leave the convention centre after talking to Taggart, Nicholas will start talking to you as you pass by him. Talk to him and accept his side mission on finding a rogue bomb and it's owner Jacob White.
From here head to the sewers until you find out where Jacob and the bomb are situated. Knock Jacob out, then head over to the bomb which is near him. Instead of hacking it input the code '0000'. Doing so will unlock the 'Lucky Guess' achievement.
Now return to Nicky and hand in the mission to unlock the following achievement.
The trophy "Guess" is associated with this quest.
