How to unlock the For the Good of Mankind achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

To save time and not need to go in New Game + to get the 2 successes "The Brave New World" and "For the good of humanity", in your first part, you must completely finish game without corrupting the Utopia protocols.

I advise you to let yourself be killed once by the boss to reappear in the final fight and turn off the game to produce a synchronization. Go fight the boss, after seeing the credits of the game, have achieved your success "The Brave New World" and have reappeared in your New Game +, (do not leave the game not to save) follow the following steps:

XBOX button
Manage the game
Saved data
Delete game data from the console (do not remove cloud data) and verify that the data is deleted
Restart the game

So you'll reappear in front of the final boss's fight, all you have to do is corrupt Utopia's protocols and beat the boss for success "For the good of humanity". In one part, you will have these 2 successes and in New Game +, you will only have to finish your last missing successes.

This didn't work for me... Worth a try at least, another playthrough it is.

I also disconnected internet immediately after getting the achievement and followed your steps - worked like a charm! Thanks!

Still works. All though I don’t know why I did it as I still have to go to the last area of the game as I messed up the Alec quest by not returning robot leg before moving to last area. Still 1 less boss to do again though.

Should be top solution, don’t know why people down voted it.

Can confirm this still works. As soon as the achievement popped, I immediately deleted my local save. When I reloaded the game, I was back at the final boss room.

Still works. Just be sure to wipe the local save after the achievement pops

This needs to be the #1 solution. As soon as I saw the achievement pop, I unplugged my ethernet cable. Sometimes the cloud save syncs while a game is running, and I didn't want to risk that. I followed the rest of your instructions exactly, popped the other achievement, and proceeded with that one to NG+.

In NG+, all I had to do was speedrun to Big SISTR, then grab Jo's sunglasses, and I got the last achievements to pop. So it can be done in 1.5 playthroughs, instead of 2. Thanks!

On the final level, Nucleus,in the room called Utopia Preparation Classified, there will be a console next to the core of the rocket that you can interact with to upload the virus, simply upload the virus and beat the game to get this achievement. Not uploading the virus will net you the "Brave New World" achievement. Will require two playthroughs minimum to get this.

It will NOT let me upload the virus. It says "impossible to update nano data"

I googled it and got ZERO responses.

Playing through the Windows version now and had this same problem where I couldn’t upload the virus. I had run through the game on NG+ and didn’t even talk to Dr. Chavez, just grabbed the BOTEC core and left.

If you go back to Resolve Biolabs you can find Dr Chavez in the Ops Station and tell her the board is dead and she’ll give you the data. Now you can upload the virus without issue.

In order to get this ending, you will need to upload the virus into the missile before you go and fight the final boss of the game. You will acquire the virus from from the doctor at the end of Biolabs, who is locked in a room that two enemies are trying to break into. Once you've taken care of the enemies, enter the room and talk to her and make sure you accept the task that she gives you in order to obtain the virus. The missile that you will need to upload the virus into is located in the Utopia Preparation Classified area of the nucleus. Go to the terminal and upload the virus, then go a fight the boss to end the game. Once the credits roll, you will obtain this trophy.

Please refer to "Brave New World" for more details.

You need to inject the virus into the unit at the lower level of the final location before going to fight the final boss.

You can get it in one playthrough if you make a backup save before introducing or not introducing the virus. The place where you need to use/not use the virus in the video in the hint for the previous trophy.

Apparently, if you first activate the circuit on the 3rd floor, it will be impossible to introduce the virus. Due to cable damage. At least that's what happened to me.

On the way to the rocket there will be a level 10 power circuit in the technological shaft if you don’t see the virus to break it.

I backed up my save before going to the final boss and during the rollback I could introduce the virus, although I overloaded the circuits; but it’s better to play it safe and backup your save at the first meeting with the rocket, since the comrades above were blocked from introducing the virus, otherwise you’ll have to beat ng+ for the second ending
