I got this achievement & as soon as it popped I restarted checkpoint to go back into the tunnel to get the 'collectibles' that are really hard to get even with the brightness on my TV cranked up-just in case anyone else was not wanting to miss any 'VR missions' & 'Data storage'-there's also a 'Humanoid gecko' but he's easy to find without AR enabled.
Edit: You need to hit pause & restart checkpoint AS SOON AS THE ACHIEVEMENT unlocks as a new checkpoint starts soon after.

After you go down the elevator shaft, the game wil,l prompt you to use AR Mode. DON´T do it. It´s pretty easy to navigate by your mini map. Also, when you engage in combat, you´ll be able to see the pretty clear and it does not void the achievement.
An even easier method is to crank up the bright on your tv.

This is a chapter specific trophy available in R-03, this is one that is much simpler if attempted after already finishing the game once (or just beating Monsoon) this is because, through combat, it is significantly easier after obtaining a few more Fuel Cells along with Ripper Mode and the Sai weapon.
To obtain this via combat after finishing the game you'll want to activate Ripper Mode and use your Sai on a Mastiff, as long as it's on Normal/Hard it should put them into a state where you can Zandatsu them and immediately regain your energy to do it again to the next Mastiff (I'm not sure whether Easy would kill them immediately as I have not actually played on Easy). This is also a good option because once in combat you get the nearby area lit up slightly allowing you to navigate a lot easier, it's also quicker and you don't need to worry about messing up.
If you choose to do this first playthrough with combat it may take longer to fight off the Mastiffs but they are fairly slow in their attacks and thus easy to Parry, they are also easily beaten down with the staff which you'll have earned after Mistral, again, you'll get the benefit of vision.
If you choose to take this with stealth (not advised but still possible, just difficult without any sight), you'll want to start off taking a left until you can go no further, after this climb the train and stand above the Mastiff below and wait until you cannot see the Mastiff on the rights eyes anymore, this means you are safe to Ninja kill. Once you kill that Mastiff run to your left and keep going straight, if you did the first part in the first cycle (which is not hard as it's a fairly long cycle) the Mastiff in the next section will not be able to see you yet so just keep running, you'll need to fight some Dwarf Gekkos but the do not alert the Mastiffs, keep running forward until you see a Mastiffs eyes in the distance, at the point turn left and Ninja run up one ledge (do not approach the 2nd yet). Go as far right on the ledge as possible and wait until you cannot see the Mastiff, go up the ledge and take approximately 5 or so steps left, run forward until you hit a wall then go right until you hit a wall, you'll have avoided detection and will be a couple of steps from the exit.
Again I must advise that combat is the smartest way to do this as you have the gift of vision but it's entirely possible to do so with stealth.

When you get to the abandoned railroad section in File R-03 you can turn up the brightness and contrast of your tv if you're having problem with the mastiff fight.
This just needs to be attempted, it's not a very hard section, just most people use the AR mode with out thinking about it.

iNTiMiDaTe xX I'm going to copy parts of your description because it sounds badass.
After you cut the ropes holding the elevator you will fall to the bottom.
You will be told to press up on the D-Pad to use AR Mode, DON'T DO IT.
AR Mode, by the way, is something you were introduced to near the beginning of the game, somewhere around File R-01. It allows you to use multi-ER-wave resonance to view enemies, and also adds in objective and location data. This also essentially and effectively lights the environment up for you.
Use the map in the top right to follow the path. Just run and jump through the tunnel, probing around for platforms, slots and spaces.
If you get spotted it will light up the path for you, this especially helps towards the end, because it allows you to see the exit more clearly. Once you reach the end, note the exit location, clear all enemies around you, avoiding more due to the shielding of darkness, and open the door. Once you exit the tunnel and enter well lit exterior, you'll unlock the achievement.

Without using AR Mode, walk through the subway. Probably best to run through this segment with Ninja Run. If you get stuck, try jumping or another direction. Achievement will pop once your in daylight. There are collectibles in this area, so try to get these to the best of your ability before exiting.
I used AR mode and turned it off before proceeding to the final stairs and it unlocked. Not sure if this has been confirmed or anything but thats how I got it by accident.
This trophy is only available in File R-03, in the underground train area which you reach after cutting the elevator cable. Getting through this area isn't too difficult and can be done in one of two ways. You can adjust your television settings to give yourself some vision and play stealthy; this is advised if you're not good at combating Mastiff's. Or you can run through the area and fight everything; this is advised as when an enemy is alerted to your presence, the immediate area lights up and allows you to see what's going on. Either way you decide to go about it, be sure to not activate AR Mode until you're back outside in daylight. This trophy should pop when Wolf contacts you.

AR mode is a radar that allows you to see enemies through walls, boxes with objects, and also SEE IN THE DARK.
Turns on the up button. Just DO NOT PUT it into the sewer.
Since it will be dark there, use the map to guide you where to go.
The tactics for passing are as follows: Just click and run to our destinations without paying attention to the enemies.
When you reach the last point, deal with your pursuers (there will be few of them, most will not make it) and exit the sewer.

You don’t have to rush to run to the end (because there are several big guys who trample well even on easy) when entering the battle, the surroundings will be illuminated and you will not fight in complete darkness

It’s not dark enough there to get too dirty. If you accidentally pressed the up arrow, restart via restart.
