This achievement is story-related.
When you land on Mahavid, take the elevator down, dispatching the Marauders and Brutes. Nothing to see here so move on, take a Medkit on the left and go for the door. Watch the scene. Inside the office is a Datapad worth 2500 creds, but nothing else. Another Datapad worth 1250 creds is on a bench, near the female Miner you can talk to. There is nothing else of interest here, so you can use the drone to repair the elevator and move on.
As soon as you exit the elevator upstairs, look on the bench on your left, behind some rocks, and you’ll find a hidden Datapad worth 1250 creds. In the Mineral Lab, a Datapad worth 1250 creds lays in the middle of some flower pots. Opposite is a Terminal on the wall worth 1250 creds as well.
At the end of the hallway is a blast door you can bypass. Do so and enter the room. A Datapad worth 1250 creds can be found next to the next door you need to bypass. Do so, and voilà. One Datapad that will unlock a cutscene and 2500 creds, and a SMG High-Velocity Barrel mod. You can now take the upper door to Sector 4, where for now you can just recover a Datapad worth 1250 creds in the little office, and the ID number we need to go get a hidden mod. Now backtrack to the Security Console and activate it.
After the scene, you get the file number required to progress the story, but first, let’s go get that mod. Do not follow your objective but unlock the Crew Quarters with your access code. You will find inside 2 Datapads (might wield some EXP for you), and another mod, some Pistol Ultralight Materials. Now go towards your objective and unlock the door there with the file number, and move on.
In the Medical Bay, examine the body on the left to get a scene. The next section is not timed, so you can actually turn around and get the Medkit. Then, move on.
Outside, dispatch a few Husks and continue. On your path, impossible to miss, will be a SMG Mass Pulse Recoil System mod. Grab it and progress towards a large area where a big fight will take place. Stay at the beginning because you need a cover in front of you, but also to your left. Nothing you can’t handle except 2 Banshees at the end, but you have a Blackstar all the way to the left. When the area is clear, cross it but do not enter the door yet. Instead, look on the right and you will find some grenades, a Medkit and a Pistol Cranial Trauma System mod. Now try to enter the door.
You will have to escort the little drone to 2 places while staying close to it. The first place is right next where you start, so it is not hard to reach, but be prepared for a good fight once you do. Expect a good amount of Ravagers, and when you reach the second point, exactly where the Blackstar was, a Banshee will appear, but she’s far, so nothing to worry about. Go back for the door.
After the scene and some chat, you will unlock the No Stone Unturned achievement.
Story related. If you want more info, continue reading. Otherwise, know that this will unlock through the natural progression of the story.
After leaving the Citadel, travel to the Aysur system in the Caleston Rift. You'll need to scan the system to find Garneau. The asteroid that he is on is in the lower part of the belt, near the 7 o'clock position. After entering the facility, you'll find that everyone is extremely helpful, find the repair console and escort the drone to the elevator to have it repaired yourself.
When you exit the elevator, go through the door on your right. In the room with the red sphere and a group of three humans and a turian looking at it, go through the door that is behind them and examine the datapad inside. Once you have the security code, go back the way you came to find the security console. After that, go back into the Mineral Lab and through the door marked Sector 4. Turn to the right at the first junction and use the console to access the Medical Bay.
After a short chase, you'll have to deal with a few waves of reaper enemies (husks, ravagers, mauraders, and banshees). After they are down, your pursuit of Garneau continues. However, the door that he goes through isn't working, so you'll need to again escort a repair drone to two locations in order to repair the door. Oh, and the same four types of reapers will be attacking you the whole time. Once that is done and you catch up to Garneau, go through some conversations. After you're done and on your way back to the Citadel, the trophy will unlock.
