How to unlock the Slow & Sharp achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide
This achievement can easily be obtained in the underground club in Palisade. Go through the alley and climb down the manhole and hack the gate. Before heading into the room you must have both the NANOBLADE and the FOCUS augmentations maxed out. Run straight into the room and slow down time with the FOCUS aug then hold down the NANOBLADE aug button and aim for the head or chest of an enemy. This will cause a big exploasion which will kill the three enemies needed for the achivement/trophy.
I have added a video guide below,
Once you get to the Russian Casino underground, save and then invest in the Focus Aug and Nanoblade Aug. Run in so they spot you, then activate Focus and use the Nanoblade to get a direct hit on one of the enemies while they are still bunched up. If you are successful, the achievement will unlock.
After you have unlocked this, reload your save and then focus on one of the other combat achievements.

This trophy requires you to land an Explosive Nanoblade Shot on three enemies at once while the Focus Augmentation is active. It should be noted that this trophy can only be obtain by killing "Hostile" enemies and not civilians. You will not unlock the trophy if you attempt this trophy on non hostile enemies. Both of these are some among Adam's new Experimental Augmentations that enables him to slow down time for a limited amount of time and fire the Nanoblade as a projectile. Make a manual save before attempting this trophy. It's highly recommended that you fully upgrade the all the following Augmentations to make obtaining this trophy much easier:
- Nanoblade
- Focus Enhancement
- Sarif Series 8 Energy Converter
Additionally, you want to increase your maximum hit points even higher so you live longer. Buy these Augmentations underneath the Sentinel RX Health System:
- Synthetic Growth Factors
- Uninhibited Angiogenesis
All of the above requires at least 13 Praxis Kits, but you should have that amount on you once you're able to upgrade Adam. After completing Mission 3: Getting In Top Shape Again, you can attempt to do this trophy at any time. The best place is in Sewers where you're in the Underground Casino. Depending on how you previously approached the Underground Casino, the enemies will either be hostile or non hostile. If they're still hostile towards Adam, then you can easily attempt the trophy requirement. If they aren't hostile because you did the Honor Holds Us All Together trophy. You'll need to have a gun on you so you can shot the wall above Otar to make them all hostile towards Adam. Be sure to make a manual save before attempting the trophy as it can be difficult. After unlocking this trophy, don't forget to reload your last manual save if you're after the Pacifist and Foxiest of the Hounds trophies.
If the Underground Casino is still in Hostile state:
Put one Praxis Kit into the Smart Vision so you can determine if you have the three enemies ready for the Nanoblade. Once you see three enemies to the left of Otar, manual save your game and then sneak inside the room. Press to activate the Focus Enhancement Augmentation, then press and hold down on whatever button you've assigned your Nanoblade onto. This will charge and turn your Nanoblade into an Explosive Heat Blade. When the tip of the Nanoblade is heated up red, release the button of your Nanoblade at Otar. If you aimed at Otar's upper or lower body correctly without missing. The Nanoblade will explode on impact which should kill all three enemies including yourself. The trophy will unlock if done correctly, if not reload your last manual save and retry again.
If the Underground Casino is in Non-Hostile state:
Enter the room where Otar is, jump onto the pool table closest to him and pull out any gun such as a Pistol. Wait on the pool table until the enemy who is leaning against the wall behind you starts to walk towards Otar. When this happens make a manual save just in case you mess up. With the third enemy now next to Otar, use your equipped gun and shoot the wall above Otar. This will turn all enemies in the Underground Casino hostile towards Adam. Once they're hostile from you shooting the wall, quickly press to activate the Focus Enhancement Augmentation, then press and hold down on whatever button you've assigned your Nanoblade onto. This will charge and turn your Nanoblade into an Explosive Heat Blade. When the tip of the Nanoblade is heated up red, release the button of your Nanoblade at Otar. If you aimed at Otar's upper or lower body correctly without missing. The Nanoblade will explode on impact which should kill all three enemies including yourself. The trophy will unlock if done correctly, if not reload your last manual save and try again.
This achievement can be earned at any time during your playthrough after Mission 3. Please keep in mind combat-related achievements only work on enemies in a hostile environment; civilians and policemen do not count.
You will need to unlock and fully upgrade the "Nanoblade" and "Focus Enhancement" augmentations.
Head to the underground Russian casino and make some noise so that you're in hostile combat. Now activate "Focus Enhancement" and aim the Nanoblade at any of the mobsters. They should be grouped up at this point, so just shoot your blade at one of them and the explosion should wipe out three enemies at once, thus unlocking the achievement.
