The achievement is unlocked when you complete the At Central side quest in Byzantium. It is missable because you can get to the game’s point of no return without doing the quest.
Nevertheless, it is one of the easiest achievements. It can be unlocked on both branches of the story—the Halcyon Path and the Phineas Path. The quest becomes available when you arrive in Byzantium through either of the landing pads—Adjutant Akande’s or the docks. Talk to Maverick Johnston in Prosperity Square to initiate the At Central side quest. The achievement pops when you are notified the quest is complete.
It is not necessary to impress Johnston but the Board rep increase is higher than if he is unimpressed. You can impress him in two ways. First, by passing 2 of the 4 skill checks. Note that one is quite high and may not appear--so you may see only 3. Second, by choosing the Attack! Rehearsal’s Over dialog choice. In spite of this resulting in you killing the actors, your reward is higher both in cash (bits) and in the Board’s reputation increase.
The skill checks are Lie, Intimidate, Engineering, and a second, high Intimidate. There is also an Intelligence attribute check following the first Lie skill check but it doesn’t count towards Johnston being impressed. The Lie and Engineering skill checks are about 40.
If you have Nyoka and Parvati in your party that give bonuses for those respective skills, they should be fairly easy to pass. This is especially the case if you have given Nyoka the Bonus Support Lie perk and Parvati the Bonus Support Engineering perk. If you haven’t recruited Nyoka as a companion, you can substitute Ellie. However, although Ellie provides a boost to Lie she does not have the Bonus Support Lie perk.
If Johnston says, “There’s my star. Walk and talk with me. That was brilliant do you write your own material…” He was impressed. If he says, “Hey, I appreciate what you tried there… Don’t call us, we’ll call you…” he was not impressed.
If, by chance, you created a player-character with below average intelligence, you can select dumb options. If you select the dumb option every time, the actors will get annoyed and attack you. Kill them. Johnston will come out to praise your performance—obviously impressed.
Nevertheless, the achievement is unlocked by completing the quest regardless of whether Johnston is impressed or not or whether there is bloodshed or not. Moreover, this quest—whether or not you do it and your choices if you do accept it—has no effect upon the game’s endings.
