How to unlock the Meda achievement in Virginia - Definitive Guide
First of all, when you initially visit the diner look to your left and grab a small pack of tea from next to the sauces. Don't take too long to do this as the scene will shift.
Next, when you are in Halperin's car and she stops at the petrol station for the first time, she will get out and walk into the shop. You initially have to check under the sun visor on her side (it forces you to do this) but there is nothing there. Now check under the visor above where you are sat to find a pizza menu. Grab it. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE CHECKING THE GLOVE BOX.
Now when you return to your apartment properly (not the first dream sequence) there will be a drawer full of teabags and a stack of pizza boxes in the kitchen. This should unlock when you look at them.
At least this is when I got it - so any alternative theories, let me know.
Beta vulgaris is the latin name for a beet so I have no idea wtf
Missable
When you first arrive at a diner with Halperin, look left and pick up a sugar packet. At a later point in the story, after you have bagged some evidence, you will come home. When entering the apartment, look for an open drawer in the kitchen, it will be filled with sugar packets. After inspecting the drawer, the trophy will unlock.
In case you forgot to pick up even one feather and just want to go for this trophy, you'll have to play at least from Chapter 6 (Kingdom) to Chapter 11 (Unwelcome).
This achievement is in three parts. If you miss this in your initial playthough, after you’ve completed the game, reload Chapter 5, ‘Halperin’ and play through until the achievement unlocks in Chapter 11, ‘Unwelcome.’
After meeting Halperin for the first time in her office, the scene will change to you riding in a car with your partner driving. To get the “Flea” achievement here, interact with the radio. Halperin will then pull over and the scene will change to you sitting in a diner. Immediately look to the left and interact with the sugar packets to take one.
After investigating the Fairfax house, you will be driving again and Halperin will pull into a gas station. When you are able to, interact with both visors and behind the passenger one is a menu for ‘Big Rico’s’ pizza. Interact with it to take it. (Note: make sure you do this before you open the glove compartment. If you open the glove compartment first, you will have missed your opportunity to take the menu).
Play the game until you arrive at your apartment again (roughly 10-12 minutes from when you picked up the menu from the visor). After walking through your door and picking up the flyer left for you on the floor inside it (needed for the “Dead Road” achievement), walk over to your kitchen. To the right of the stove will be an open drawer filled with sugar packets and on the counter a few pizza boxes from Big Rico’s. When you’ve looked at both of these, the achievement will unlock.
I received it by picking up an advertisement slipped under the apartment door on Tuesday evening.
