How to unlock the "Let me hold that metal detector..." achievement in Grim Fandango Remastered - Definitive Guide

There may be a few ways this can be done, but I unlocked this achievement by doing the following:

During Year 2, head to the cat racing track and go all the way to the top of several flights of stairs until you reach Carla. Drink some of the gold flake alcohol (can be found on the bar of your casino), and pass through the metal detector. This will prompt the alarm to sound and Carla will take you into a back room and begin to tell you her life story. You don’t need to respond to her ranting until she begins to get upset, so keep listening to her until she starts to cry, and a speech option saying ”Let me hold that metal detector for you while you cry” will appear. Selecting this option unlocked the achievement.

Given that ”Let me hold that metal detector for you while you cry” is more or less the name of the achievement, then yes, I'd say that's what you're waiting for, yes.

It might be worth mentioning that you don't actually get to hold the metal detector, and you get the achievement after the conversation ends. I thought I had done it wrong. And it's actually "Here, let me hold that metal detector for you while you cry."

It's worth noting that you have to admit being there for the metal defector after she starts crying. I kept getting looped thinking I was supposed to deny it or there was a timing to it.

If she doesn't take you in back, leave the room and re-enter before you try again. This will let you take another drink, this time keep the booze out as Zelnip says.

Important note: do *not* put the alcohol away after taking the sip. If you do, she won't take you to the back room.

Also, I did that, and waited for the "Let me hold that metal detector for you while you cry” option, and picked it and then she asked (roughly) "Wait did you just come in here to get my metal detector?" with two options (roughly) "Yes" and "Uhm, no". I picked the No option and no achievement. :/

After that, I went through the entire dialogue again until the same "Let me hold that metal detector for you while you cry" option appeared. Picked it, and this time I picked (roughly) "yeah I'm just here for your metal detector", and then she threw the thing out the window & achievement unlocked.
