How to unlock the Duty-Bound achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

Side quest involving Irina Beckett. She can be first found by the two security guards in central station for the achievement "Most Wanted". She'll ask for a better staff, easiest way to get this is to kill the security guards near by and chop their weapon arm off. This will suit her.

The second time you encounter her is in the circulation building on one of the top floors. This one is hard to miss as progression requires you to go by her, though you have to have talked to her and given her a staff in order for her to make it here. Simply talk to her and exhaust all options and she'll move on.

The third and most expensive time to meet her will be after having security spread out through the facility and coming back from R&D. She'll be on the path from the first OPS location and the security door, by the Toxic Waste Elevator. She'll now require you to give her the 3 missing Gorgon pieces to complete her security uniform. These are the same armor the security guards will have so simply cut off the head, body and legs and build these parts. She already has the arms so you don't need to get these. After giving her the rest of the Gorgon armor of any upgraded value, you'll be good.

The last time you meet her will be in the Executive forum, on the way up to the board room. Just before reaching the top floor you'll find a staircase after a vent shaft and a room straight across. Go into this room and you'll find a shortcut back to the lower floor of executive forum and Irina. She'll try to tell you to leave her alone but after exhausting her dialogue she'll turn hostile. Not attacking at first but on guard and targetable. Simply kill her for the achievement, cutting off her weapon arm will net the Peacekeeper staff and interesting dialogue should you return it to her in NG+.

I only had the option to craft mark III pieces, I hadn't mad the armor before but proved expensive. Maybe it allows you make MK1 earlier in the game?

Calex I think you just need the I crafting pieces not the III. You can farm the I on first level enemies

So, just a warning to others. I just had Irina die where you meet here the second time. In the hallway directly next to here was a flamethrower guy and he saw and attacked me but hit her. Then she attacked him, failed miserably, and now I have to wait until NG+ to finish her questline.

ah, you have to give her the staff before the firebug fight. when you do the 2nd visit to central production she is standing in the new area and she says she found her own staff and you can't do the quest for her in that play through

ok, just got this achievement. First encounter I exhausted all dialogue but screwed up and did NOT have the Negotiator staff to show her by the time she left. Second time, spoke with and exhausted all dialogue. Third time, gave her all the gorgon gear she asked for. When I got to her the 4th time, I defeated her and got the achievement right away. Also got her Peacekeeper staff.

Definitely worth noting that the enemies needed for the armor don't respawn. So don't fuck up like I did and kill them without cutting off the body parts. Really annoying when they do shit like this in games and force you to do another playthrough

Ah, luckily I found later in R&D that more enemies will show up with the gorgon gear after the lockdown. So that was a relief.

Do you have to give her the security guard staff? I killed all 4 security guards and none of them dropped for me :(
She doesn't want the pipe I have (even though I reinforced it a few times) and there is no option to give the other staves I currently have...

EDIT: Was able to give her a staff found on the ground shortly after the 2nd Boss battle...

If you happen to mess up on the two sets of security guards, one does spawn that can be farmed on the way back to the Abandoned Production map just before the train (I believe he spawns there after you defeat Firebug?). This is before you defeat Big Sister 1/3 (Not sure if his spawn changes after that). Watch out as there is a beefed up Bloodhound (Three legged scorpion that likes to jump at you) to the left of the opening when you see the train.

All you have to do is go straight from the medic bay in Central Production B and take the elevator back to the Drone floor, go up the steps, and slightly pass the opening on the left side, the guard will see you and start running at you. You have to get him past this opening into the previous area by taking swing(s) at you.

I also noted that if you kill the guard and pass the Bloodhound to go back to Abandoned Production, the guard won't re-spawn until you rest at Ops back in Central Production B.

Another great guide (not mine), so remember to give the youtuber a big ol' thumbs up!

REMEMBER TO EXHAUST the dialogue, and that this is missable. You must start it off by giving her the staff, and meeting her at each location before moving on.


Thank you!

Missable
Location:
1st: Central Production B
2nd: Resolve Biolabs
3rd: Central Production B (2nd time back)
4th: Executive area

To obtain this trophy, you will have to interact with a character named Irina Beckett 4 times throughout the game.

The first time you will interact with her will be during your first visit to Central Production B. She be on a staircase shifting through trash. Go up to her and talk to her in order to start the first step of this trophy. She will tell you that she needs a good staff. You will need to go back near med bay and fight the two security officers standing guard near a locked door if you haven’t already. You will need to go for one of their arms and chop it off in order to obtain the staff. After you’ve obtained the staff, go back to Irina and give it to her to complete the first step.

The second time you will meet Irina is after you come back from the Resolve Biolabs area. You will eventually make your way to an area called the Circulation Tower and you will see a long flight of stairs ahead of you. Go up the stairs and at the top of the stairs leaning against the wall is Irina. All you need to do this time is talk to her and finish out her prompts in order to complete the second part of the trophy requirement.

The third time you will meet Irina is after you come back from the Research and Development area. She will be leaning on a guard rail near the Med bay. Talk to her and she will inform you that she is in need of some Gorgon gear. You will need to defeat Security enemies and chop off the body parts that she asks of you in order to obtain the specific body parts. After you’ve acquired these pieces of gear go back to Irina and give her all of the gear. This will complete the third step to the trophy.

The fourth time you will meet Irina is when you go to the Executive area. She will be in a room near an Iron Maus painting. This area will be before you get to the top floor where the board room is. During this meeting, you will need to fight and kill her. Just walk up to her to initiate the fight. After you’ve defeated her you will earn this trophy.

Remember make sure to talk to her as soon as you get to the areas, as delaying your interactions with her and proceeding on with the game can result in you missing this trophy.

Missable!

This quest revolves around the NPC Irina Beckett. You have to fulfill a series of requests, failing to do so will void the achievement.

You first meet her in Central Production B, where she asks for a staff. The MG Negotiator dropped by security guards will do nicely, refer to "Most Wanted" for details. Also, exhaust all dialogue options.

The second time will be on your return to Central Production B, when she's standing near to the room for the rig enhancer needed for the "Gear Up" achievement. Be careful as the flamethrower-wielding enemy patrolling nearby can actually kill her, so take care of him first. Then, talk to her and simply exhaust the dialogue options.

The third time will be again in Central Production B, shortly before you head to Executive Forum. Irina will be in Material Depot, close to the elevator. This time she'll be asking for Gorgon armor, specifically legs, body and head part. Head to Medbay nearby, make the parts for her and hand them over. Again, exhaust all dialogue options.

The last time, you'll meet her in the Executive Forum, on the way to the Board Room. Talk to her until she turns hostile and attacks you. Upon killing her, you gain the achievement, and if you cut of her arm, the staff Peacekeeper as well.

The trophy can be missed.

You need to complete Irina's quest. To do this, you need to talk to her three times in the second location, the first time before the battle with the second boss, she stands on the flight of stairs leading to the shortcut from the final location, the second time before the battle with the third boss, she will stand on the way to the boss, the third will stand near the medical station , before entering the security zone (we give her a set of armor). The last meeting will take place in the administration zone room, we talk to her and defeat her in a duel. After winning, the trophy will drop.

Video of receiving the trophy.

Note: this does not affect the trophy, but if you cut off her hand in battle, you will receive a unique weapon (the main thing is not to give her any of your weapons during the first conversation).

If at the third meeting (location 2 near the medical unit) you do not give Irina armor (for example, you did not craft it before this time, as happened to me) and go to the administration zone, then Irina will not be in the room of the administration zone and you will not receive a repudiation.

She needs 3 elements from 4 Gorgon armor:

-helmet
- body armor
-leg armor

Crafted from security service soldiers.

ps to get a weapon the main thing is to just cut off her hand
In the first conversation I gave her the “MG negotiator” and, having cut off her hand, the “peacemaker” pole fell out

It turned out that at the last meeting with Irina, she killed me, and when returning to that same place she disappeared, so the quest failed. Kill the first time

If someone killed all four sentinel guards in the second location who have MG Negotiator guns, Irina can also be given the SERU HSS BioMaster pole weapon, which we can find after killing the second boss (it will be below in the ventilation pipes) . You can safely give this gun to her, or in the Resolve Biolabs location we can pick up this gun again.
