How to unlock the It Lives! It Sniffs! It Conquers! achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide
Beware, dying as a smelter bot dies can bug out and the shining coin will disappear too. This happened to me and I had to go to NG+ to finish it.
After redeeming them at the Iron Maus vending machine, they're still in the inventory.
In order to obtain this trophy, you will first need to destroy all 5 of the smelting machines and obtain the shining coins that they drop after. Once you get all 5 of the coins you will need to go to Central Production B. From here you will need to go to the area where the robots where gathered around the iron Maus vending machine. You will need to interact with the machine and it will insert the 5 shining coins into it. After that the wall will open up and you will see the Iron Maus gear sitting there. Go up to it and interact with it in order to obtain the trophy.
Once you have collected all Shining Coins as outlined in "Melting Down," return to the Vending Machine Cult's location described in "Infidel." Now, interact with the vending machine, and collect your very own Iron Maus gear as well as your achievement.
Throw five coins at him and get armor.
On the way to this trophy, you will get two more: "Melting Down / Melting Point" and "Infidel / Infidel".
Location of melting machines:
No. 1 is located in the first location (available almost immediately);
No. 2 and No. 3 - in the second (it is impossible to miss, they rub next to each other, for the convenience of destroying them one by one, they can be separated by pressing the corresponding button at the control point - take the elevator - and changing the program of the machines);
No. 4 - in the third (lower right when reaching the surface);
No. 5 - in the second, but it is possible to open the door to it only after upgrading your Drone with the BOTEX power unit (we find it at the end of the third location - in the meeting room with Dr. Chavez).
