How to unlock the Medium bro achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan - Definitive Guide

********single player solution. Doesn’t work for co-op play*****

Looking at the unlock percentages, This appears to be one of the easier relationship achievements in the game. Yet this is one of the last achievements I unlocked. Since there is no guide, I thought I will add one. Thanks to folks at psnp for the tip. Select the following choices. The chapter name in brackets.


(The Duke) - Playing as Brad
- RESENTFUL “I had to work”
- UNEASY “Not good with people”
- EMPATHETIC “Must be tough”
- SENTIMENTAL “Go with your gut”
-DO NOT ACCEPT THE BEER FROM CONRAD AS THIS WILL VOID THE CHOICES FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER-

(Wreck) - Playing as Alex
When Julia tells you to check on Brad make these choices
- IMPRESSED "Wasn't sure we would"
- ENTHUSIASTIC "Get you something cool"
- COMPASSIONATE "Go through it all together"

(Intrusion) - Playing as Conrad
Make him die or escape on speedboat on this chapter. Otherwise you will be controlling him in later chapter(an escape) robbing off this achievement and force you to play till the distress signal chapter near the climax

(Storm) - Playing as Fliss
After helping Julia and Alex onto the main deck pick this choice when talking about brad so he can join you. This is important otherwise you need to play the game through to the end till chapter distress signal. That’s when both Alex and Brad get to talk to each other.
- ANXIOUS "He might drown"

(An escape) Playing as Alex
Keep playing until you get to the bit where you see the distributor cap then make the following 2 choices
- DUBIOUS “We need to be careful”
- WARN BRAD -
If followed correctly warning brad after he jumps down to help Fliss or take the distributor cap should pop the achievement.

As stated on the game walkthrough, here is the quickest way to get the achievement, but it will require playing Shared Story with two players instead of Solo.

Once finished with the prologue of the game, you'll have an intro from the Curator. After he stops talking it'll load the next scene with Alex and Brad on the Duke of Milan. One player will be controlling Brad and the other Alex. Be sure to choose the following dialogue options during their conversation:

Alex: ENCOURAGING

Brad: APPRECIATIVE

Brad: UNEASY

Alex: SUPPORTIVE

Brad: EMPATHETIC

The achievement will pop after Brad says "Empathetic".

Cannot be earned in Curator's Cut.

Chapters: between The Duke and Distress Signal. 

Once you have the options, try to be always good with Brad and Alex. Both brothers must stay alive until chapter Distress Signal

Chapter The Duke:
  • As Brad, do the following choices:
    • SAYS NOTHING during the first option
    • SAYS NOTHING during the second option
    • EMPATHETIC
    • SENTIMENTAL
    • APPREHENSIVE
    • SERIOUS
Chapter Wreck:
  • Go inside the cabin to speak with Brad:
    • IMPRESSED
    • ENTHUSIASTIC
    • COMPASSIONATE
Chapter Distress Signal 
  •  As Alex, chose the option ENCOURAGING while talking with Brad
(Thanks to Last-_-Judgment)

You can do a solo in the canonical version, the trophy will drop exactly at the moment when Alex says that you have been promoted to “middle brother”. The algorithm is as follows: Brad remains hiding and takes a gas mask.

Chapter "Duke"
  • Say that it was a lot of work => don’t get along well with people => show understanding when separated => listen to your heart.
  • Refuse to drink with Conrad => tell the truth about the dives.
Chapter "Crash"
  • Alex should go and talk to Brad (who is sitting reading a book, if he’s not drinking).
  • Make a joke that they might not have found the wreck => offer to discuss the findings => offer to sort out the finds from the wreck together.
Chapter "Distress Signal"
Let Brad go to hell => Say everything is fine.

PS The last point is for those who have 1 red arrow in the relationship between Alex and Brad. For those who followed this guide, the trophy will appear in the cutscene.
PSS A little later I’ll post a screenshot of the relationship between Alex and Brad.

In Duke and Crash I did it as described, but you can get the trophy much faster than at the end of the game.
1. Conrad escapes by boat.
2. Fliss is caught in the chapter Trap.
3. Brad tries to steal a distributor in the cargo compartment in the Escape chapter; just warn him that someone is coming, and the trophy is yours.

"3. Brad is trying to steal a distributor in the cargo compartment in the Escape chapter; just warn him that someone is coming, and the trophy is yours."

To do this, he must immediately board the ship with the others, and not hide on the boat.

You won't be able to get a trophy in Curator's Cut because in some key moments you're not playing as Brad or Alex, but as other characters

Very easy to get online, at the very beginning of the game. Chapter "Duke", even before Conrad and Julia arrive on the yacht. Both characters need to choose friendly lines and encourage each other. After the 5th response, the scale will be completely filled and a trophy will appear.

Received praise on the sixth (green arrow) in general, you need to completely fill out the relationship scale.

Best done in co-op or director's cut. At the very beginning of the game on the yacht. Mine was Alex, choosing the friendliest options. The achievement was given before Julie Conrad arrived

It is impossible to make a trophy solo in Curator's Cut .

If you don’t have the Curator’s Cut DLC (they give it for pre-ordering the game, it will be free later), then you can only complete the trophy in co-op mode, with a partner.
