How to unlock the It Lives! It Sniffs! It Conquers! achievement in The Surge 2 - Definitive Guide
After draining the coolant liquid of floor 2 at Cathedral of the Spark, you can find a sideway of the new shortcut to Medbay, which leads to a small room with Kyle Baxter inside, wearing IRONMAUS Set and Justice of the Iron Maus gloves.
Tell him to go out. At some point, you'll find an enemy body with Iron Maus' mark aside, you'll also hear him talk about going back to the small room.
Meet him at the small room again, you can:
- Tell him to go out the second time. He'll die somewhere in Cathedral of the Spark.
- Tell him to leave Cathedral of the Spark, he'll then show up in the Iron Maus comic shop at Port Nixon, giving you his IRONMAUS armour and Justice of the Iron Maus gloves. These will go straight into your inventory and are not blueprints)
This achievement bugged on me during my first play through and despite sending Kyle home, he never reappeared at the comic shop. I can't guarantee this works, but it did for me!, but when you send him home, immediately kill yourself (to refresh the world) and go straight back to the comic shop and he should be there.
Note that there are multiple ways to "finish" this quest, but the above steps are the only way you'll get all the armor and the weapon. Other conclusions will award you with nothing, or just the weapon.
After the world changes (see Step 1 of the Road Map), speak to Kyle Baxter in Cloud 9 bar to begin his quest. Make sure you agree to team up during this conversation and once you get to the Power Plant area, you'll find him in his hideout. Ask him to head out and fight, then go find the person he killed (his graffiti will be on the wall behind the dead body and he will contact you over the radio). Return to him in the hideout and this time, send him home (the comic book shop). Go find him at the shop and tell him to retire, and he will give you the full set of armor and the weapon. Put it all on to unlock the achievement.
