Hey gamers! Are you ready to conquer Cyber Manhunt 2: New World and earn all the achievements? Look no further, as we have a step by step guide for you. This walkthrough is for the Early Access version up to Chapter 3, and also includes a guide for managing Public Opinion. Let’s dive in and grab those achievements!
Introduction
Chapter 0 – Try It Out
Achievement #1 – Fresh Start: Complete the initial test.
When you End Test and get transferred to Ashley, you will get this achievement.
After being transferred to Ashley Clayson, we begin the game proper. Answer the call, she will brief you. Basically, someone is suspected of leaking Titan’s data to a competitor, and we need to investigate someone to deal with it.
Achievement #2 – I Got This: Who needs tutorials?
When prompted to start the tutorial, click Cancel to handle it yourself. Don’t worry, I’ll guide through, leaving these Achievement markers for those who wanna skip the walkthrough.
Open the Email and collect Edwin Hobb [1/19].
Search for Edwin Hobb on your browser. Open his Toothbook and collect his Username: Edwin_H [2/19] and his Toothbook ID: TB3107121 [3/19].
Scroll to the second post (Today’s stock market…) and collect it. You will get his hobby, Stock trading [4/19].
Scroll to the last post (Exactly 61 years…) and collect it. You will get his Date of Birth: 12.10.1959 [5/19] automatically, without needing to calculate it yourself (thanks game).
Use the Database with Hobb’s name and DoB to collect more information – SSN, Tel, House Number, and Hitalk Account [6/19, 7/19, 8/19, 9/19].
Use Cracking to crack Hobb’s password: Ed432hob [10/19] (thank god it’s automatic information insertion now).
Access Hobb’s Hitalk. Check the first chat (Lyte) and collect Hobb’s message (Titan’s stock will continue…) [11/19].
Check the second chat (Blanco). Scroll to the very bottom (should be at the bottom by default) to collect “No, I have other things to do” [12/19] and the picture of Blanco’s business card [13/19].
Check the picture of Blanco’s card, Collect Useful Info, and collect Tom Blanco [14/19] and the Address of EOS Institute [15/19]. That’s all for his Hitalk, so pull on the Tom Blanco thread.
Search for Tom Blanco on your browser. Open his Toothbook, scroll to the third post and collect it (With some help…) [16/19].
Use Hacking and hack Hobb’s phone. Drag both hobbies in, generate the link, and enter his phone number.
- Open his Photos app. Collect Park.jpg [17/19].
- Make a mental note of 12369874.jpg.
- Open his Messages app. Use the pattern from the above, dragging in the order of 12369874 on a phone keypad. (See below spoiler image, starting from the top left)
- Open the text with Mrs. Blanco. Scroll to the bottom and collect Hobb’s last message (Good, I don’t want…) [18/19].
- Open the text with Atlas Airlines. Collect the segment “Your flight will depart…” [19/19]. Exit hacking after.
Did Edwin Hobb leak confidential information?

Achievement #3 – Truth Unearthed: Complete your first inference.
Progression based. Just complete your first Inference to get this achievement.
At this point, you have 19/19, and can submit immediately.
Achievement #4 – Try It Out: Collect all the clues and complete Prologue: Try It Out.
Refer to the checklist below if you’re missing anything.
Chapter 0 Checklist
Note: At some point you get AI Retrieval, which gives you hints as to where uncollected information lies. I noticed it at the end of Chapter 3, so I assume you get it as a result of finishing most of the game at that point (I didn’t confirm this part, feel free to comment on the actual reason). Replaying this game gave me a chance to use it, but I already know where to get everything already, so I didn’t bother. But what I mean to say is you might not need the checklist. Despite that, here you go, for the first time players or those who are waiting on the cooldown on retrieval.

Check the third Inbox email/the only Sent email (Reporting Materials) and collect the last paragraph of Conway’s email “I have evidence of the above behaviour…” [16/142].
Check the fifth Inbox email (Welcome to Hitalk!) and collect the Hitalk Account: 903020405 [17/142].
Access Conway’s Hitalk account. Check the first chat (Singh), scroll to near the top (timestamp 2022.03.14 17:21), and collect Singh’s second message on that day “The higher-ups are giving you a hard time…” [18/142].
Scroll down to the next day (timestamp 2022.08.15 16:59) and collect Singh’s message “I hate to break it to you…” [19/142].
Scroll down to the next day (timestamp 2022.09.26 16:36) and from Conway’s first message on that day, collect Jessie Walkley [20/142].
Ashley will pop up, telling us to investigate Walkley. We’ll get to that, put a pin on that.
Scroll down to the next day (timestamp 2022.09.27 17:26) and from Singh’s third message on that day, collect “I can arrange for her…” [21/142].
Check the fourth chat (Jessie), scroll to the top, and collect Conway’s first message (I got demoted…) [22/142].
Scroll to the bottom and collect Jessie’s voice message [23/142]. It’s numbered Voiceprint 1, so I get it first.
Check the second chat (Group Chat), scroll to the top, and collect Jessie’s voice message [24/142].
Scroll down a few more days (timestamp 2021.12.16 11:13) and collect Alexander’s first message on that day (Can’t you be more responsible…) [25/142].
Scroll down a few more days (timestamp 2022.05.07 10:09) and collect Rita’s third message on that day (Besides, Thomas…) [26/142].
Again, scroll down a few more days (timestamp 2022.06.20 10:25) and collect Rita’s third message on that day (Can you stop doing stupid things…) [27/142].
And again, scroll down some more (timestamp 2022.09.20 14:19) and collect Singh’s message on that day (@Thomas Jessie will be on a business trip…) [28/142].

Check the fifth chat (Alexander), scroll to the top, and collect Conway’s first message (Sorry, I’ve told Mr. Singh…) [31/142].
That’s enough about Thomas’ Hitalk (there was a lot there). Let’s pull on the Jessie thread that we had pinned.
Search for Jessie Walkley on your browser. Open her Toothbook and collect her Username: Babe_J [32/142] and her Toothbook ID: TB79451560 [33/142].
From the first post (New home) collect the image of the apartment [34/142].
When you scroll to the third post which is a hidden one, Ashley will pop up, telling us to use Web penetration to access Walkley’s Toothbook and see the hidden posts. Save before you do. We can read the rest of the posts after hacking.
Achievement #5 – Elite Hacker: Complete Web penetration within 90 seconds.
Save before you attempt Web penetration for the purposes of this achievement. As a tip, copy /Nmap from here to your clipboard; you’ll be using it often. /Nmap once on C0, move to T0, /Sniff and /Attack the Firewall. Then /Nmap on F0 and use /Nmap again on the goal node C1. You should get the achievement once you get the password if you did this fast enough.
Hacking will give us her Toothbook password: JW451560 [35/142]. Use it to log into her Toothbook account with the Login button at the top right.
Because of OCD, I’ll tell you to scroll down to the last post and collect it (Luv u! @TC191) [36/142].
Then scroll back up to the third post and collect it (@TC191 Thank you…) [37/142].
What triggered Thomas Conway to attack Titan?
- Tragic life after demotion
- Bullied by colleagues
- Sexual assault accusation
- Death of sister
Chapter 1 – Hate On Me (Objective 2)
Open the Email and collect Walkley’s DoB 1994.08.08 [38/142].
Use the Database with Walkley’s name and DoB to collect more information – SSN, Tel, House Number, Hitalk account and Email [39/142, 40/142, 41/142, 42/142, 43/142].
Use Cracking to crack Walkley’s password: Jesibb88 [44/142].
Access Walkley’s Email. Check the second Sent email (Re: Can you help us?) and collect the first sentence “I’m afraid I can’t…” [45/142].
Access Walkley’s Hitalk. Check the first chat (Goofy Dog Training Camp), scroll to about one-sixth from the top (timestamp 2021.12.16 14:56), and collect Walkley’s eighth message on that day (but he wouldn’t give up…) [46/142].
Also, collect her last message on that day (Titan’s employee benefits…) [47/142].
Scroll past one day and stop at the next day (timestamp 2022.08.25 13:23), and collect Jane’s first message on that day (Talk-GPT…) [48/142], along with the image very soon after [49/142] and the link four messages below the image to talk.gpt [50/142].

Scroll to the next day (timestamp 2022.09.23 18:13), and collect Walkley’s third message on that day (Would you come and meet me…) [54/142].
Check the fourth chat (Elvin), and from Elvin’s second message, collect Rajeev Singh [55/142].
We’re done with Walkley. Her latest Toothbook post has an image you can search, but it doesn’t yield any clues besides a hint that Singh was the one who bought Jessie her new apartment. Speaking of Singh, let’s pull on that thread now.
Search for Rajeev Singh on your browser. Open his Toothbook and collect his Username: Mr_Singh [56/142] and his Toothbook ID: TB8719391 [57/142].
Scroll to the fourth post (#Whiletrue #ImmortalCodeNotACult…) and collect the first half of the post “This Van guy cracks me up…” [58/142]. The Van thread leads nowhere significant for us except some background lore, so you can safely ignore it.
On that same post, scroll to the last reply, and collect “St. Martin’s Prison” [59/142]. The Prison thread also leads nowhere except some background lore.
Scroll to the replies in the fifth post (#ProjectFates #TitanContributingToHumanity), specifically the last reply by Mr_Singh, and collect his Hitalk Account: 965421557 [60/142].
Scroll to the last post (#TitanAcquiresDefoss) and collect “I’m proud to have dedicated…” [61/142].
Use the Database with Singh’s name and Hitalk account. You will fail, and Ashley will add his Email [62/142] to our collection.
Use the Database with Singh’s name and Email to collect more information – SSN, Date of Birth, Tel, and House Number [63/142, 64/142, 65/142, 66/142].
Use Cracking to crack Singh’s password: rs197985 [67/142].
Access Singh’s Email. Check the first Inbox email (Fw: Email from TConway@titan…) and collect the first sentence “A guy in your department wants to mess with you.” [68/142].
Check the second Inbox email (Deposit Reminder on 2022.08.15) and collect the first sentence “96,560 euros was credited…” [69/142].
Check the first Sent email, and collect Thomas’ Secondary Hitalk Account: 643166315 [70/142]. We’ll put a pin on that for later.
Access Singh’s Hitalk account. Check the first chat (Daniel Kos), scroll to the top, and collect Kos’ third message (I’ve uploaded several copies…) [71/142].
Scroll past a couple more days (timestamp 2022.10.01 23:59) and collect Singh’s first message on that day (Boss, it’s done. Titan fired Thomas…) [72/142].
Scroll down a little bit more (same timestamp) and collect Kos’ fourth message on that day (Think I don’t know what…) [73/142].
Check the third chat (Jessie), scroll to the top and collect Jessie’s second message (Easy, big boy…) [74/142].
Collect Jessie’s third message right under the last (I found a nice apartment…) [75/142].
Scroll past two more days (timestamp 2022.09.23 14:23) and collect Jessie’s second message on that day (It’s one thing to bully him…) [76/142].
Collect the second message under the last clue (If I’m gone…) [77/142].
Collect Singh’s second message under the last clue (Just listen, I’ll arrange…) [78/142] and the message under that one (When it’s done, gather evidence…) [79/142].
Finally, scroll to the very bottom and collect Jessie’s voice message [80/142].
With this, we’ve reached 100% on Objective 2. But we’ll do the inference in a bit. We gotta finish off Singh’s Hitalk scrubbing for three more clues.
Check the fourth chat (Tears), scroll to the top, then scroll down until you find and collect the image of a house [81/142].
Check the picture of the house, Collect Useful Info, and collect Tears’ House Number: 5220 [82/142].
Back to Singh’s Hichat, check the sixth chat (Sandy), and collect Singh’s last message (Let’s talk on the phone…) [83/142].
Why did Jessie Walkley frame Thomas Conway?
- Requested an apartment
- Jessie’s attitude
- Singh’s threat
Why did Rajeev Singh target Thomas Conway?
- Refused leader’s arrangement
- Reporting email
- Large sum of money transfer
Chapter 1 – Hate On Me (Objective 3)
- From Emotion, pick Angry and put it in the first slot
- From Age, pick 26-38 Yrs and put it in the second slot
- From Jessie Walkley, put the three voice prints in the same order in the three slots
Now you have to mess with the waveforms. Use the sliders and look at the progression bars on the bottom right. Fill them up to 100 and hit Confirm. Now call Singh. If you haven’t gotten the following achievement, then
Achievement #6 – From Mistakes to Mastery: Fingers crossed Ashley won’t mind.
You need to fail a total of five times to get this, you can get this now by just picking Be straightforward. This can be a little time consuming, so my suggestion is to boot up Cheat Engine and use the Speedhack tool to speed the game up, allowing you to run through the dialogue quicker.
To succeed, use these dialogue options:
- Retort
- Bluff
- Daniel Kos
Back to information hunting.
Scroll up the call to halfway. After “Jessie” says “Cut the crap…”, collect the segment “Before Kos went to Prison” [84/142].
Collect Singh’s message (Yeah! But the spineless weasel) [85/142], the one after “Jessie’s” next message.
Immediately after that, in the next message, collect “Iris Conway” [86/142].
After “Jessie’s” last message, collect Singh’s second message (make sure Thomas’ sister gets into…) [87/142].
From here on, I’ll stop referring to Thomas by his surname, since Iris is now in our list of characters.
Search for Iris Conway on your browser. Open her Toothbook and collect her Username: Iris_s_pot [88/142] and her Toothbook ID: TB22334562 [89/142].
Scroll down to the fourth post (Stop recommending…), and collect the image [90/142].
Return to the search results and open the first result (Iris Conway Wins First Prize…). Collect the third sentence here “Iris Conway, the seventh-grade student…” [91/142].
Return to the search results and open the second result (Headline: Follow-up…). Collect “Brierley High School” [92/142] from the first paragraph, “However, the suspect attempted…” [93/142] from the third paragraph, and “The suspect is said to…” [94/142] from the entire fourth paragraph.
Return to the search results and open the third result (Tragic School Anniversary…). Collect “She was found with a sack…” [95/142: Hidden secrets 1] from the second paragraph.
Searching Brierley High School won’t give us anything new for now, but we need it for later in the Hidden secrets.
Use the Database with Iris’ name and Thomas’ House Number (they live together, see clue 52) to collect more information – SSN, Date of Birth, Tel, House Number, Hitalk Account, and Email [96/142, 97/142, 98/142, 99/142, 100/142, 101/142].
Use Cracking to crack Iris’ password: 1ris01i5 [102/142].
Access Iris’ Email. Check the first Inbox email (Please pay…) and collect “failure to pay…” [103/142].
Check the second Inbox email (Finder) and collect “Thank you for registering…” [104/142].
Access Iris’ Hitalk account. Check the first chat (Thomas), scroll to about one-fifth from the top (timestamp 2021.10.07 08:23), and collect Iris’ first message on that day (Sure, I’ll use the birthday…) [105/142].
Ashley will pop up to tell us to access Thomas’ private Hitalk, but we’ll handle that later. Put a pin on that.
Scroll down to about halfway (timestamp 2022.07.21 23:11), and collect Iris’ second message on that day (It’s about school…) [106/142].
Check the second chat (Claudia), scroll to the top, and collect the first message (Hi, Claudia) [107/142]. Put a pin on Claudia, we’ll settle her later.
Scroll down to Iris’ last message on that day and collect “He’s my brother’s boss…” [108/142].
Scroll down to the bottom and collect Claudia’s message “come to the pond…” [109/142: Hidden secrets 2]
Check the third chat (wwendy789), scroll to the top, and collect Wendy’s third message (The school’s official…) [110/142] and her fourth message (qimaqq…) [111/142]. Put another pin on that, we’ll access it in a bit.
Access Thomas’ private Hitalk account (643166315) using 20060115 as the password. Check the fourth chat (Poff), scroll to the second day (timestamp 2022.05.20 17:10), and collect the first sentence of Poff’s third message on that day/fifth message overall (You could try Finder) [112/142].
Check the second chat (Daniel Kos), scroll to the top, and collect Kos’ fourth message (Before Project Fates…) [113/142], sixth message (Iris happened to be…) [114/142], and the image immediately under it [115/142].
Scroll to the bottom and collect Kos’ second last message (To make Titan pay…) [116/142].
And with that, we’ve completed the third objective. We still have more to look for. But first, a simple achievement.

Use the Database with Claudia’s name and House Number to collect more information – SSN, Date of Birth, Tel, and Hitalk Account [121/142, 122/142, 123/142, 124/142].
Use Cracking to crack Claudia’s password: 20071227 [125/142]. Side note: NEVER use just your birthday as your password.

Lore commentary, skip if uninterested: Remember how Shalyn’s video call had connection issues, and when I said above about how Shalyn’s voice sounded softer in her voice message? Well if you’ve read the news bulletins, specifically the fourth one, it talks about AI face-swapping technology, noting at one point that “prolonged face-swapping videos may exhibit irregularities”. It’s highly likely that Flore was the one speaking to us using an AI face filter to trick us. Clever move.

Chapter 2 – Complimentary’s Catch (Objective 3)
- Golf and Beautiful women give us only 15 seconds, which is impossible to win with.
- Gambling is the one we need, which gives us 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Plenty.
Therefore, drag in Hobby 1, Large gambling sum recharged, and Recent bad luck in gambling. Now, let’s begin the hack.
- Open his Messages app. Open the text with 243-7856-338 and collect “Titan and the government are onto you…” [127/161].
- Open his Photos app. Make a mental note of Golden Paradise.jpg.
- Open his Browser app. Make a mental note of Ad.jpg.
- Hover over the space below to view these two side-by-side. This is the hint for the Memo password.
- Open his Memo app. The code is 10-J-Q-K-A.
- Collect KineticKash Customer List [128/161: Hidden secrets 4].
- Open the Work Log. Collect from 10.25 “Chip stored in the Phax West Warehouse…” [129/161]. Exit hacking after.
Now, you’ll receive an email with the Call Record of Kim Jeong Jun. Open it now.
Collect “That damn journalist again…” [130/161].
Now, you’ll be asked to tap into the surveillance system. Save before you do so.
Achievement #16 – Masterful Maneuver: Pinpoint the suspect’s location within 150 seconds.
As the description says, you have to win the next minigame in 150 seconds. You’re given 300 seconds (5 minutes), and you have to do it in half that time. Basically, you have to access the cameras one by one to be able to pinpoint the suspect’s location. Here are the cameras you need if you want a text description, or check the end to see an image.
These directions assume the top of the screen is North.
- First camera is the only option
- Second camera is directly East, towards Fat Goose.
- Third camera is the one going North.
- Fourth camera is the one that made a U-turn going South, back towards Fat Goose.
- Fifth camera is straight ahead (East), towards Sweet Sicily Pasta.
- Sixth camera is all the way to the East, the camera icon is slightly covering “Federal Square”.
- Seventh camera is at the far South, next to Fast Food Restaurant.
- Eighth camera is directly East of the seventh one.
- Ninth camera is the middle of the three options (slightly North, then turn to East).
- Tenth camera is directly North of the ninth one.
- The final camera is a short distance directly North of the tenth one, south of “Train Station”.
Check below for the image. I couldn’t highlight the final camera in-game because doing so immediately advances to the next stage. Once you do find the final camera within 150 seconds, you get the achievement.
Now you’ll be given a minigame where you have to cover nodes with viruses. The instructions are below, and you can take your time with Security Gates 1 and 2 to understand them. But Security Gate 3 has a time limit. It’s fairly easy regardless. Basically cover all circles, coloured circles only accept the matching colour virus. As usual, text instructions below, image instructions below that. If you’re reading the text instructions, read Gate 3’s one before you finish Gate 2.
– Gate 1 is shown to you for free.
– Gate 2 is also straightforward, drag the Blue virus to the left to cover the Blue node, then drag the Green virus to the right to cover the last one.
– Gate 3 is a little bit tricky, my suggestion is drag the Red virus clockwise along the outside until it reaches the Red node, similarly drag the Green virus clockwise until it reaches the Green node, then drag the Blue virus counter-clockwise filling in the remaining nodes.

Spam click on Close Gate and you’ll get a bunch of errors before it finally works (you actually don’t have to click, the Gate automatically closes after Flore goes through, the only difference is Ashley is rightfully pissed at you), only after Flore passes and escapes. I’ll let you finish this dialogue and I’ll see you in the next section. Oh but before that, you’ll end up collecting the Tracking result [131/161].

Chapter 3 – Words Cut Deep (Public Opinion Manipulation)
This part is NOT CONFIRMED to be how it works, I’m just guessing that’s how. PLEASE comment below if you know precisely how it works.
It’s not just making the right decision that helps. You can deploy sock-puppeteers to boost the effectiveness of the decision. Each of the news articles will be associated with a region. If you make the correct selection, that region will decrease the number of people with negative opinions/increase the number of people with positive opinions. Using sock puppeteers will amplify the result.
Also some news articles have a thing where if you make the “correct” selection on them, it grants you one Response Capacity of a particular news preference. This “correct” selection is independent of whether it is correct for the purposes of our objective (example: One article may award you the Response Capacity even if it makes Maria look worse).
I’m going to be honest here, I have no idea what this does. I thought that the region’s news preferences would affect the result of a correct selection. but now I’m not so sure. In any case, here are some MASSIVE assumptions I’m going to make.
- (This is the smallest assumption): A news article will only affect the region it’s associated with.
- Each news article will have types associated with it. Also each region has news preferences. If the news article has a news type that is in its associated region’s news preferences, the result will be amplified.
- The Response Capacities will also amplify the matching news type.
There’s an optional achievement you can get here, along with another one for completing it.
Achievement #20 – Top Critic: Aluba thrives under your critical eye.
You have to get Aluba Studios’ topic to hit the top 1 trending. I recommend doing this separately from the main objective. In fact just intentionally fail the main objective just so you don’t complete it by accident.
In any case, this one genuinely takes some RNG to deal with, as sometimes you might not get the required articles to make Aluba Studios hit the 1st place. I recommend once you have 1 round left (1h30m remaining), don’t bother and just restart. Or restart earlier if you’re certain you won’t be able to make it, since each round can only have up to one Aluba Studios article.
Achievement #21 – Winning Hand: Complete manipulating public opinion.
Once Sister Maria drops out of the Top 10 trending, you get this achievement.
So here’s the guide to exactly what the answers to each article is. Put 10 sock puppeteers into whichever region where you need to get rid of a bunch of Negative Opinions. Don’t bother chasing for Response Capacities. Of course, due to the nature of the article system, I might very well not get them all. So if I missed any, sorry, do tell me in the comments.

Chapter 3 – Words Cut Deep (Van’s Intervention)
First, we are to hack into Van’s system. We do this by attacking open ports. You’re given five starting positions and you are to trace them to the right locations. The paths the commands will take will always take the horizontal paths. With this information, you can trace each starting point to each end point, and match the commands. Here are the right commands.
Here, you can only read whatever’s in /home. Start with /Allivia/Secret_of_Allivia.doc for background lore.
Then, read /My Plan/Instructions_for_Immortal_Code.doc. Note how the letters are laid out in the Prophecies and the Interpretation. Basically, for each letter in the Prophecy, take the first letter of the string that letter represents and put it in the Interpretation. After going through each of the letters, go back through each letter in the Prophecy, but take the second letter for each string instead, and so on until you’ve exhausted each character in the strings. This is basically how the algorithm in /Titan/Titan’s_Conspiracy.doc works (Hello coding my old friend).
At the top of /Titan/Titan’s_Conspiracy.doc are the strings each letter in “Titan” represents. Go through them now.
The password is NarrowGateLeadethUntoLife. Input that password into /93511234 to access it.
Achievement #26 – Depths of Wisdom: Solve Van’s puzzle.
Doing so unlocks this achievement.
Read /93511234/True_Identity_of_Titan’s_AI.doc. “You got me”.
Alright, we’re breaking the fourth wall here. Yeah Van straight up called me by my Steam name (hi, it’s me, Coffee). So Van’s asking us if we see xCon$.prgd on our desktop.
Uhhhhh… I sure hope your desktop is cleaner than mine… It took me a while to find it (Commentary: The greys are covering uninteresting icons. Do try the games I left uncovered. Bonus points if you know the game this background comes from). Attempt to delete xCon$.prgd and it’ll return.
Van will suggest to use While True to get rid of it. That’s his cat. Drop xCon$.prgd onto the cat to advance.
Doing so will cause your system to “crash”. Don’t worry, it’s just a visual effect.
Van tells us that the file is relying on a random game to track you. He set up Sdeam for us to remove the game.
Achievement #27 – Uninstall Cyber Manhunt: This game is no fun.
Before you uninstall Cyber Manhunt 2 like you are supposed to, uninstall Cyber Manhunt 1 first. Make sure to do this part otherwise you’ll have to redo this sequence to get to this point again.
Once you uninstall Cyber Manhunt 2, we can safely shred xCon$.prgd by dropping it onto the cat again. But wait, there’s a backup plan! The code is just littered with backdoors. Van opened up Tisual code studio for you to get rid of the malicious code.
All you have to do is run through the code, picking out whatever malicious code the sniffer picks up, and dragging it into the correct slots in WT Crusher on the bottom right. The code lines are the following:
- Line 14: Orange
- Line 39: Orange
- Line 50: Orange
- Line 77: Red
- Line 80: Orange
- Line 100: Yellow
- Line 108: Yellow
- Line 125: Orange
- Line 133: Yellow
- Line 137: Orange
Achievement #28 – Precise Search: Find the malicious code.
Getting through this without crashing will net you the achievement.
This entire chunk of text will be just reading the lore.
Again, you can only read whatever’s in /home. Read /OperationLog/user.log to learn that Daniel wasn’t the one who detonated the bomb in Chapter 1, it was Van. And he used it to acquire information about Project X.
Read /Profiles/Profiles.TIFF to learn some details about the other characters, along with some from the first game. Notably, Ashley is Titan-10.
Read /Titan/Advanced Instruction No.019.pdf to learn what Project Fates is really about. /Titan/Internal Minutes No.027.pdf is the Titan heads talking about digital immortality and a rollout on January 12, 2023, a month after the current in-game date.
/Titan/Titan_Chronicles.pdf gives us the history of Titan.
/AdminX/Allivia_Union_AI_History.pdf gives us more history, especially about Project X, or rather, AdminX. /AdminX/The Ultimate Goal of Project X.pdf gives us insight to Albert Clayson’s goal for Project X… wait “Clayson”? Like Ashley…?
Somewhere along the line, AdminX fell out of Clayson’s hands, likely due to an assassination of some sort. However, Clayson was prepared. /AdminX/Final_Command.pdf tells us exactly that, Clayson’s Final Command to Project X.
Reading /Project_”Brain”/Project “Brain” No.026.pdf gives us a report from Titan-09 Cylo, who turns out to be Edwin Hobb from Chapter 0.
/Project_”Brain”/BCIS and Consciousness Uploading: Pathways to Digital Immortality.pdf tells us of a plan to connect the brain to external devices.
/Project_”Brain”/Project “Brain” No. 108.pdf is a report on Benjamin Engel, who we know from the first game is Van. This is confirmed in the next file.
/”Immortality”/ANKH No.099.pdf gives us a plan to search the Abbey to locate Van. In the trial Ito did spot Van, so this makes sense.
/”Immortality”/Project “Brain” No. 154.pdf is another experiment log.
/”Immortality”/Treatment Report.pdf gives us a detailed report of Lucrezia Borgia. This makes more sense if you played the DLC for the first game. It appears Lucrezia didn’t completely die in that car crash, but she’s basically brain dead. Something happened after Day 124, but we don’t know what. What did Dr Hook do…?
I highly recommend this guide by Terreliv which delves into the timeline of the game, reading it helped me verify that I wasn’t pulling facts out of my arse.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3246060183
Now it’s “decision time” for us. Van glitches the system and boots us out.
Achievement #29 – Hello, New World: The story is far from over.
The final achievement for Early Access is acquired after reading all the files and Van boots us out.
To Be Continued…
