How to unlock the Data Detective achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide

This achievement is unlocked when you complete the first Darknet file in Breach Mode. The first opportunity to work on a Darknet file and complete it for the achievement is in the Tier 1A Network after completing a couple of regular servers.

You are not required to clear the Darknet file servers to unlock the Data Disciple achievement for completing all Versalife, Steiner-Bisley & Tarvos servers in the Tier 1 Network. Thus, the first available Darknet File, Just What the Doctor Ordered, need not be the one you complete for the achievement. Nevertheless, it is the easiest Darknet file and is the only one in Tier 1 for those who want to pop the achievement at the earliest opportunity.

Below, is a complete video guide with commentary for the Data Detective achievement in two parts. It starts upon entry into Network 1A. So, the only assumption it makes is that the tutorial has been completed. The only augment used is the double jump which is acquired automatically as part of the tutorial. The primary weapon used is the C Class Pistol given by Shadowchild during the tutorial. A single shot from a Class B stun rifle is used during the final Prime or Boss fight to incapacitate the boss before taking it out with the Class C Pistol. The first part of the guide deals with getting to and clearing the DF1 and DF2 Darknet servers:


The second part of the video guide shows how to get to and clear the DF3 and DF4 Darknet servers. The achievement pops after the Picus broadcast that airs once DF4 is cleared:


In addition to providing a full detailed solution to this achievement, the tactics used to clear the servers are applicable to the Data Disciple, Expert, and Master Achievements. They emphasize finishing close to the entry point so you can exit effortlessly and avoiding contact or combat unless the server objective is to kill enemies. Moreover, they demonstrate that S class weaponry is not required and that players need not spend their hard earned real cash on micro-transactions.

I found the hole in the wall, I wasn't looking for this. Do your videos get all the breach achievements? Do you mention what augmentations to get as I've just got lavawall 4 done but am missing 2 towers?

I'd already made the video so, in case you didn't get the hidden server, the link is below. You only need the two 5K servers on the second level in the back but I show the three on the first floor as well including the hidden one. I activate the blocks at the beginning and end although you can also get through using a double jump. I take out one enemy but you can sneak on by as well. Here's the link and I'll answer your other questions in a separate comment:

Give me a bit and I'll make a video showing all data on S04_LAVAWALL. IIRC you need an augment like triple jump or Icarus Dash to get the top server. Triple jump is an invaluable augment & I recommend you get it as soon as possible. The first time I cleared through Tier 3 I used only double jump, triple jump, and cloak as my augments. I provide a lot of general pointers in this guide:

Solution for Data Disciple In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Important
: If you want to level, do it before you enter Tier 1B. Once you do, the enemies become progressively stronger each time you clear a server. This applies even to the early servers. In other words, if you enter Tier 1B and go back and do a tutorial server, you will incur a difficulty penalty and enemies will get stronger. You have to use nuke viruses which are fairly uncommon in order to bring the enemies' strength back to normal.

Here's the S04_LAVAWALL showing all data stores. Note that there is a hidden data store on the first floor that you find by walking through walls on the left side. You can get up to the 3rd floor by triple jumping as I did or by activating the blocks and using double jumps. Since time is of the essence--you are in lockdown mode throughout--the triple jump is the better option.

To get the sub 16 second speedrun, you'll need the Icarus Dash Augment with the Precise Dash Augment. You jump to the right side of the second floor from the start from there Precise Icarus Dash to the small opening in the third floor. You'll enter right where the 10TB server is. As soon as you start downloading jump back through the hole and directly down to the exit point. You have to be very precise because there is not a lot of wiggle room.

This achievement is available in the Breach game mode.

The first Darknet File you unlock is 'Just What the Doctor Ordered'. It will become avaliable after completing your second server in the Tier 1 network. This file involves finding out the truth behind the sudden death of Lindsey Thompson, a little girl undergoing experimental VersaLife treatment.

To start this file, you must read the Darknet File details in the Darknet tab.

You then need to collect 10 data fragments in the server \DF1_Cortex to get the next clue, the autopsy report. After examining the report, you'll have a chat with Shorthand. When the chat is over, you need to collect 14 data fragments in server \DF2_Cortex.

You'll get Lindsey's medical history, which you'll need to examine. You'll then have another chat wth Shorthand, where you'll need to pay 10000 credits in order to proceed. You should have more than enough credits to continue, but if not, complete a few new servers to get the credits you need.

When that chat is done, extract 10 TB data from server \DF3_Cortex to get your next clue. Speak with ShadowChild to un-corrupt the recieved e-mail and view it. Then, speak with Watchstan68 to set up a rescue attempt.

You'll need to defeat the unit in server \DF4_Cortex to proceed. This unit has various augmentations, such as cloaking and the Icarus Dash and wields a sniper rifle and EMP grenades. This unit is fairly weak against Pistol damage, so use your pisol to kill him. A very useful augmentation to have here is the Focus augmentation, which will enhance your reactions and therefore makes it feel like time is slowing down. With this aug, you'll be able to land headshots quite fast on him and thus complete it fast.

When you've completed \DF4_Cortex, you'll need to have another chat with Watchstan. When the chat is over, the file is officially completed and you will recieve this achievement and a Darknet booster pack.

Great solution! Offhand, do you know what constitutes "Breach Tiers" for those associated achievements? I only ask because to my knowledge, I completed all servers on "Wetwork 1A/1B", including Darknet, and have the option to move on to 2A, but still no achievement for Tier 1? Do you know if this entails 100% server completion?

I don't know, since I haven't completed a server yet. I bet it does involve that though

While playing the Breach mode in the Tier 1 Network, the game will introduce you to Darknet investigation files which are a series of server nodes that you must hack to complete a file. Each Darknet file consists of 15-16 parts, which involves hacking through 4-6 server nodes to unlock all of them. You may also need to spend credits to unlock specific parts, but for your first Darknet file “Just What the Doctor Ordered” the fee is waived.

In Breach Mode, your first Darknet File, "Just What the Doctor Ordered," will become available after completing the second server in the Tier 1 Network. This case involves uncovering the truth behind a young girl's supposed death.

To start this file, you must read its Darknet File details in the "Darknet" tab. After reading the case notes on this screen, the game will more or less "guide" you through the mission; it first leads you to a new server where you're required to collect data fragments to retrieve the next clue of the case. Once this is done there will be a text chat with Shorthand. Following this chat, the game continues to pull you from mission to chat, mission to chat, until you are brought to the final server: a "boss battle" against an AI Unit.

This Unit is equip with Glass-Shield Cloak, Icarus Dash, and a Sniper Rifle, but is susceptible to Pistol damage. Make sure to take cover and pick your shots wisely. You should have no problem taking down the Unit within a few minutes.

After defeating the Unit and escaping the server, there will be one last short chat and the file will be completed, thus unlocking the achievement.

Only the first Darknet case (the one with the girl) needs to be fully resolved.

UPD: you can go through the second darknet file, they will give you an achievement for it

They will tell you about Darknet files in the Breach training, don’t miss it. You just need to complete one of the files. Most likely this will be the first one, about a girl with cancer. Just go through the necessary servers, talk to assistants and the achievement is yours! Actually, darkweb affairs are the most interesting thing in this mode.
