How to unlock the Cryptomancer achievement in Prey - Definitive Guide

For this Achievement you have to finish all Kasmas’s objective to finish the game and have more than 50.000 as the in-game currency (sim point) in your possession. You do not need to get 50.000 for a single run. It is cumulative.



Warning! After you have done all the objectives and escaped with 5 characters in 1 run you are forced to start a new game and will lose all your progress. So be careful!

Warning for anyone doing this, achievement doesn't pop until after the credits are done, almost had a heart attack over that.

I did yeah, it just didn't pop. Thankfully I only had to delete my save and replay a few minutes of gameplay and it popped second time around

Thanks for the guide and your reply.

How does the game end? Does it end upon completion of all KASMA orders or do you have to complete all orders AND escape with everyone too? I escaped with everyone but still had three story objectives to do so it just restarted the sim.

Escaping with everyone in a single run was my last kasma objective so i cant tell for sure but based in the info if you escape with all in a single run the game ends. I suggest to finish everything prior doing this. Plus make sure you get to credit too. Some people dont know there is a credit at the end. You need to see cutscene and credit and then achievement pops. If u dont kmow how to get to credit send me a pm and i tell you the detail there because of spoiler

I can confirm that escaping with everyone while still having KASMA orders to complete doesn't end the game, it just restarts the sim. I did my first run the same way you did but none of the achievements popped, I watched the credits to the end as well. Doing second play through now and I am doing a story objective as my last KASMA objective so I was just curious if the game will end at that point or if I'll have to escape with everyone a second time in the same play through? Thanks for replying!

Good guide but think this achievement isn’t hard at all as long as you know it is there. I just finished the DLC and once I got to 50,000 sim points I never went below it just incase, but when I went for my final run I went around with my first character to all parts of the map and killed everything so my other 4 character just had to run to the end nice and easy. After doing this a bit of crafting and picking up items I unlocked around 60,000 sim points from just doing this final run alone. So really I would say achievement is do able on the last run alone.

This was the best DLC I’ve played in years

A word of warning. Spoilers about the end of the game.

This achievement unlocks after the credits after you complete the DLC. Make sure you have over 50,000 sim points before you complete the final KASMA order.

After you get booted out of the simulation and speak to your handlers, DON'T do what I did and fly straight up to the console in the back of the ship. MAKE SURE you pick up the helmet off of the wall and the command key from the operator.

I didn't do that and went straight to the console but I couldn't do anything without the key, and I had no idea what to do so I wasted a lot of seconds. To top it off, the game auto saved up there with like 13 seconds left on the timer, so I was stuck in a cycle of death. Luckily I managed to fly back down and grab the helmet with like one second left which gives you infinite time to do whatever you need to do. If I wasted just one more second, I would have had to replay the entire DLC.





Tl;dr: Pick up the damn helmet!!

For context, finishing the game means finishing the final KASMA orders for your contract. You have until you fulfill the final one to accumulate the 50,000 points needed.

Points are gained by doing certain things within the simulation.

Killing any and all typhon (with extra points for sneak and critical attacks)
Finding schematics and chip-sets
Reparing objects
Hacking computers
Escaping from the simulation (with bonus points for escaping with multiple crew)
Completing crew story objectives
Completing KASMA objectives
dying (yes you get points for dying)

It can be easy to rack up points if you do a lot of exploring, however it can be just as easy to lose them. Points are used to spend on your loadout. Weapons, ammo, chipsets, medical supplies, and things like control modules, emp charges etc. If you die you will lose any items you had on you (though its possible to recover the items in the subsequent run if your corpse is able to be found).

Before you complete your final KASMA objective (which can be done in any order you choose) make sure you have at least 50,000. I recommend that this is the last achievement you go for as the DLC is quite different from the main game and random deaths are not uncommon. Also it can be quicker to use a large portion of your SIM points to buy neromods for the Galaxy Brain achievement.

This achievement is missable.

After every successful escape from the Moonbase simulation, you will be awarded Sim Points for enemies killed, objectives completed, fabrication plans and chipsets found, and other smaller feats. Fortunately, this achievement is very straightforward and because you will be running through the simulation several times due to the "Galaxy Brain" achievement, you should easily have more than 50,000 Sim Points by the time you complete your final KASMA Order and officially complete the game.
