It amazes me that people can give good feedback and extra possibilities on solutions and the author ignores them and leave the guide as is.

Weird, he contacted me in Chapter 11, as I went back into the room with the computer that takes you to Post Plus, where his safe house is.

OK, looking into it, you can get The Last Step side mission in Chapter 11, but the game makes you go back to Syke's area in Chapter 13 anyway for the main story. So I'll just do that side mission in Chapter 13, make it easier to follow the collectibles guide I'm using.

Oddly the game bugged out and Sykes was still in the safehouse when I got back, haha. Luckily he didn't block the file left on the table.

This side mission has multiple steps across two different chapters. “The Last Step” side mission takes place during chapter 13, but in order to gain access to “The Last Step,” you must first rescue Sykes in the parking lot during chapter 7.

After you save Sykes in chapter 7, follow him to his safehouse. This will complete the “Out in the Open” side mission. Talk to Sykes in his safehouse in order to begin a new side mission called “Getting Back Online.” You’ll have to enter the Marrow and restart a server. Once that’s done, return to Sykes and go through all of his dialogue and you’ll complete the side mission.

As long as you completed “Out in the Open” and “Getting Back Online” in chapter 7, Sykes will call you through the communicator during chapter 13. This will add “The Last Step” to your objectives. Go to the safehouse Sykes was in and talk to him. You will need to access the Experimental Wing of the Marrow, turn the power on, and eliminate every enemy in the Experimental Wing in order to clear a way for Sykes. Once this is done, enter the Test Lab area in the Marrow and Sebastian will automatically call Sykes. A cutscene will take place. After the cutscene concludes, the achievement will unlock.

This is a long one and is strictly related to Powerhouse, Chatting With Kidman , Diligent Reader and They Never Even Stood A Chance .

"The last step" side mission will be available only if you complete the other side missions for Sykes. You will find him in chapter 7 for the first time, in the business district. Once you reach his location, you will trigger the first mission. Try to do them as soon as he will give you the mission, as there will be some points where you can't go back and do them:
  • Mission 1: Sykes will be attacked by many enemies. Help him to survive. If he dies, you’re out so quit and restart.
     
  • Mission 2: When he is safe, he will ask to you to restore a server in the Marrow. Just follow the green dot, kill the enemies and the mission is completed. You will receive a weapon for it, needed for Powerhouse, and you will be able to open all Mobius chests (some of them with High-Grade Parts for They Never Even Stood A Chance).
     
  • Mission 3 (The last step): You can access this mission in Chapter 11, before following Hoffman but since the collectables guides are wrote in a certain way, I will follow their philosophy and tell you to do this mission on Chapter 13. Basically, reach again Syke’s safe house and he will ask you to go again in the Marrow to start a generator. You can access the marrow from a computer in his safe house. Once inside, take care of the enemies and start the generator. Once it started, two more waves of enemies will show up. You must kill all of the enemies. It's not so hard, because they aren't many and you can run and hide.
Once everything is done, You will be rewarded with:
  • A slide just in front of you for Chatting With Kidman
  • A weapon in the chest inside the room for Powerhouse
  • A file in the Syke's Safehouse for Diligent Reader

The first stage in Chapter 7: we protect Sykes from mobs near the shelter. Talk to him and he will give you the quest. We do it and move on with the plot. Then go on Chapter 11 to his hideout through the network. You will receive a call on your communicator. Follow the quest instructions and the trophy is yours.

The first comment is misleading. The quest will appear in Chapter 13, after you rescue Sykes in Chapter 7, then complete his quest "Back in Touch".

Let me clarify the situation with the chapters. When in Chapter 11 you view the “vision” with the psychologist Hoffman, you can move along the plot behind her “image”, or turn to the “Network” terminal. In the first case, you can return to the additional mission later - in Chapter 13. If you turn to the terminal right away, you will go through it in Chapter 11. The order of passage does not affect anything, but it can save you time if you are just trying to get some documents/slides in NG+.

In Chapter 7, Sykes is very easy to save using only 2 electric bolts, on absolutely any difficulty, including classic mode. As soon as you go through the gate to his parking lot, you should find a hydrant on the right in the bushes, open it and shoot a bolt into the puddle. Then just run up to the enemies and trample them.

I also got this task in Chapter 11. You can immediately move to the “Mail” location without following the plot of the game. Sykes will call.

The first part of the task is done in Chapter 7. The second is in Chapter 11.
