How to unlock the The Fool achievement in Late Shift - Definitive Guide

This achievement and The Ploy are both earnable at the same decision.

Most of the starting decisions do not seem to matter, but this is how I got this and The Fool in one run so it works. I believe the most important thing is having Meiling with you at the hospital:

-Play along with the heist
-Go to Woe's, then evade capture at the hotel by breaking the window or going downstairs twice
-Keep trusting Meiling so she tells you about the fake
-Don't fight the drunks so you can get to the hospital
-Fail in getting the location from Sebastian (e.g. go to torture him but then decide against it) so Meiling proposes a new plan of calling Parr and telling him Sebastian failed at his job
-Recover the original from the van, accept the call from Meiling in the van and then go to Parr's


When you are talking to Parr you will get the choice of 'Tossing the bowl' or 'Placing it on the desk' - both ambiguous as to what they actually mean. Placing the bowl is necessary for this achievment.

Placing the bowl = you telling Parr it is the real bowl.

If you quit and reload your game then choose the other choice you will get another ending and also The Ploy achievement.

(I didn't downvote btw)
There is an extra decision after placing the bowl down. You have to try and stop him from dropping it. It didn't unlock until I was outside the cars drove away.

Thank you so much GR34TD3STR0Y3R I was following the walk through and was worried cause mine did not pop and then we had a second choice. If anyone is following the walk through after the cars drive off it does pop and also you can quit out and do the rest of the endings you need smile

Furthermore, you can still get The Ploy if you place it and then fail to stop Parr from fake-dropping it.

[Quote]Recover the original from the van, accept the call from Meiling in the van and then go to Parr's[/Quote]

In the auction center Hainsworth`s, go directly to the lift, use "[Lift upwards]" , scanning the apple computer for the van number 7 - Use the option [leave] [stay together] - to find out wich van he wants to recover, [Use Lift] + [Parking Place] + [Dont knock him out / The Other Guy in the Lift] [Use the downstairs] otherwise he is to late and the van number 7 is driving away and he cant recover it.

@Parking Place [Hide] = The Van also drive away and he cant recover
@Parking Place [Run] = Jumped in the van/ and he is driving to Parr and has the bowl in the pocket

@Van // Incoming Call from MeiLing [Accept] [Block Incoming Call]
@After The Call with MeiLing // [Go Tchois] [Go To Parr]
