On PC, I killed Richard but the achievement did not pop. I presume you have to install the jammers, which is consistent with the achievement's description of "By uncovering the key to Richard's persuasive powers, you broke his control and freed his followers."

This achievement requires you to complete the Cult of Personality side quest.

To start this quest enter the nearest sewer entrance to Jensen's apartment, and take the route that leads through the part with the gas. Once through, head to the end to meet a guy called Viznik, who will give you the quest. Head in through to meet the godlike Richard, who will hypnotise you.

Once you're done being hypnotised, pick up one of the posters around the room to get another quest marker up in the northern district. Head there, and speak to Richard's partner, who will give you some signal jammers. Head back to the hypnotising room.

Once there, place the emitters on the upper floor, on the walls. Avoiding the second turret is difficult, but Hirsute Dave says that you can just jump onto the scaffolding opposite the ladder, avoiding the second turret entirely. Then you can place the emitters easily. The positions where you have to place the emitters are small circular objects on the walls.

Once done, talk to Richard and convince him to pack up his little escapade, and the achievement will unlock.

Tip for Foxiest - On the upper floor, head straight across from the ladder (avoiding the turret) to see a door with a level 5 lock. Hack it or use an autotool, and head to the end to meet Richard. Valdimier says that you can cloak right past him to the security terminal, hack it and deactivate the turrets, then sneak out of the room. This now allows you to place the emitters without any chance of being seen, and therefore ruining your Foxiest run.

You can also use your cloaking augmentation after the level 5 door. Get to Richards computer (no hacking needed) and disable the turrets. Use the cloaking again and leave the room. Now you can disable the emitter without problems.

Both of you make some excellent points. I'll add them to the solution!

As an alternative path for Foxiest runs, you can use the jump boost augmentation to get around the turret. You still need to climb the ladder to get to the first emitter but the other two are both accessible by jumping up onto the scaffolding (on the opposite side of the main chamber to the ladder) and simply avoiding cameras. No alarms triggered.

It wasn't clear to me in the solution that you've got to go to the platform in the middle of the lower level and use the microphone to talk to Richard. shock Finally figured it out, but. . .

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Achievement/Trophy Guide - Cult Of Personality

Starting from Adam's apartment building head out the door to the left of the church fanatics on the bottom level and climb down the manhole to find a guy named Viznik. After talking to him walk through the doors and you will find yourself hypnotised and will have a conversation with Richard, the cult's leader. After your conversation with Richard, turn around from the mic and go to the back left-hand side to find a piece of crumbled up paper which will give you a new objective so head to the train station.
When you arrive in Palisade the magic shop will be around the corner from where you exit and you will talk to Liborio, Richards magic partner. He will give you jammers which will help you combat Richards hypnotic powers so head back to where the cult is.
When you arrive at the cults building, there are three things you can do.

- Firstly, you can plant the jammers by taking the ladder on the left-hand side of the room and planting the first one on the wall then climb down the ladder and jump on the scaffolding on the opposite side and plant the other two avoiding the middle turret.

- Secondly, you can build a multitool, climb the ladder from the first part and unlock the level 5 security door. Use your cloaking ability and sneak past Richard and deactivate the turrets so you can quickly plant the jammers (This will require the turret hack augment).

Both of the above options will have you facing Richard over the screen, and you must talk him down from controlling the people. The correct choices are Pity And Mitigate.

- Lastly, you can use the multitool to like the second option and just kill Richard. This will have you trying to explain to the cult members what is going on.

Here is a video guide for the first solution,

(Missable!)

This trophy is obtained during the Side Mission SM02: Cult of Personality. The quest chain is started by entering the sewers south of Adam’s Apartment and speaking to the two girls near the bottom of the ladder. You must expose the leader of the Cult and convince his followers of his falsehood without violence for this trophy. This must be done before leaving Prague for Switzerland (Story Mission M13).

Enter the Locked Area - Activate the quest and follow the tracker. Further north into the sewers you’ll find Viznik who speaks incoherently. Reassure him to learn more then accept the quest. With Viznik’s keycard, enter the nearby door and speak with Richard. You can play around the conversation choices but it turns out the same in the end.

Find a Way to Confront Richard & Seek Out Liborio - Turn around and look at the right corner for a defaced poster, and a crumpled poster on the other side to learn a name: Liborio. Take the metro to speak with Liborio in Magic, Cistra District. He’ll give you a couple of scramblers.

Install the Signal Scramblers & Reveal Richard to the Others - Go back to Richard’s community and look to your left where you’ll see a walkway. Jump up to the walkway, make a U-turn round the left while avoiding the camera and you’ll find the second emitter at the dead end. Now back to the walkway again while avoiding the camera, you’ll see another camera right ahead, with the emitter just below it. Go back down to the opposite side and climb up the ladder on the right. The emitter where you can install the scrambler is on your left, on the column right at the corner behind the boxes & drum. After installing all 3, head back down and use the Microphone in the center. Choose Pity > Mitigate to expose Richard and free everyone. You’ll get a total of 1600 XP this way.

This achievement is missable and is earned for completing Side Mission 02, Cult of Personality, in a specific manner.

This side mission can be triggered by entering the sewers via the manhole in the alley near Jensen's apartment complex. As you travel through the sewers, you will eventually spot a man in a robed tunic. Approach him to engage in a strange dialogue, then accept to help his cause.

After entering the doors nearby and speaking to Richard, search the room thoroughly on the ground floor and you will find a crumbled poster that, when read, triggers a new objective that leads you to the magic shop in north-eastern district of Prague. Travel to this shop and speak to the store clerk. He will reveal Richard's secret hypnotizing "trick" and hand over three signal scramblers. These scramblers must be installed on the small "speaker lamps" on the upper floor of Richard's underground hideout.

Return to the hideout and stealthily crawl around the upper floors, installing the scramblers on the speaker lamps. Be careful, though; there are turrets guarding each of the speakers and you will need to take extra caution not to be spotted. Your augs will also be deactivated at this time.

Once all three scramblers have been installed, return to the ground floor, activate the microphone, and during conversation with Richard, choose the following dialogue options: Pity > Mitigate. This will unlock the achievement and leave Richard a broken man.

While arranging 3 plugs, I went to see Richard. I turned it off and the power supply - they didn’t give me the achievement.

I placed the plugs without going to him and used the microphone in the center of the area where people live - they gave it away.
To turn it off using stealth, you can jump to the 2nd and 3rd plugs from the area where people live. Behind the camera, which does not move and looks into a long corridor.

I couldn't find anywhere in the video where to get the plugs.

I explain

After the first conversation with Richard, walk around the first floor, there will be different posters. In one of them, Richard is with some guy. This poster will be marked as “Story Item” After this, the task will be supplemented. You need to run to the magic store in Northern Prague (follow the mark) and get jammers there after talking with the guy in the store. And then everything is as in the tip above. We place 3 jammers and approach the microphone.
After that, you can go to Richard and get everything there (+ one of the electronic tablets there)
