    ***Spoiler Free***

    This battle of wits is story-based and unmissable, the chance to get this achievement however, is very much so.

    This is the last social battle achievement and gained at the very end of the game so don't worry if you haven't gotten it yet. One thing worth bearing in mind is that the solutions to social battles change depending on what you've said to other people throughout the course of the game. I took a very much "Paragon" path in the game, the only exception being that I sided with the "warrior-priest" during the sidequest that awards you the achievement "Talion A.D."

    Save regularly after beating the boss that awards you the achievement "The Snake" especially just after meeting a turret mounted on the roof - as far as I remember, it's the only one there.

    If you have the Social Interface Augmentation then choose:
    Extrapolate > Appeal > (Pheromones) Omega option

    If not then choose:
    Extrapolate > Appeal > Extrapolate > Extrapolate

    If this does not work for you then please let me know, especially if you find a new set of choices and if you know what kind of character you played as so everyone can get this achievement please, cheers guys!

    Edit: If you do not have the augmentation and the second option doesn't work then try:

    Extrapolate > Extrapolate > Critique > Appeal

    Kaisar VillhelmI went through with the same choices you had made (paragon except for the warrior priest) and was able to do extrapolate all the way through.

    A Wise PirateRevisiting this game due to Games For Gold. I didn't have the augmentation and neither of the above methods worked for me, but the one I used which got me the achievement was:

    Extrapolate > Critique > Appeal > Critique

    cooper101183It's amazing how 88 people found this useful but 1 clown had to put a thumbs down. I bet that clown is entertained by that, sad really. Thanks for help
