    In order to reach the point where you can work towards this achievement, you will have become quite proficient in Breach Mode. So, this guide is not going to dwell on the basics of reading maps and clearing servers. There are many different viable approaches. I have outlined my strategies in guides for the Data Disciple, Expert, & Master achievements. Moreover, I have an in-depth video guide for the Data Detective achievement that illustrates the tactics and strategies that I used throughout Breach including https://www.trueachievements.com/Deus-Ex-Mankind-Divided/dlc...

    There are more than 10 Santeau servers. They appear to be regular server map servers but do not count towards the Data Expert or Data Master Achievements. Use cn_RT to roam the maps and check the servers by pressing cn_A. The owner, e.g. Tarvos Group, appears at the top above the server name. The Santeau servers, naturally, will have the Santeau Group name at the top. The Santeau servers can also be identified by their logo that looks like a white square with rounded corners with a large circle cut out of it near the bottom left corner.

    All five servers in the fourth Darknet File count towards the achievement. They will not appear until you have unlocked the file and, to do so, you must complete the third Darknet File. So, completing, or working towards, this achievement will help in the completion of the 10 Santeau servers:

    Deus Ex: Mankind DividedAshes to AshesThe Ashes to Ashes achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided worth 125 pointsBreach: Complete the Santeau Darknet File.


    I was able to find eight Santeau servers on the server maps:

    Tier 1B: S12_CAISSON
    Tier 2A S21_REBAR, S22_REBAR, & S23_REBAR (Transport Data)
    Tier 3A: S15_REBAR, S16_CAISSON, S17_REBAR
    Tier 4A: S08_CAISSON

    Accordingly, I needed two Santeau Darknet servers (DF1_CAISSON & DF2_CAISSON) to unlock this achievement. The other three Santeau Darknet servers are DF3_REBAR, DF4_CAISSON, and DF5_CAISSON. The Santeau servers are more expansive than other servers. However, they all feature an abyss so, once the conditions to clear the server are met, you can jump into the abyss to respawn at the exit point. The achievement unlocks once you clear the tenth Santeau server which may be a Santeau server on the server map or a Santeau server in the fourth Darknet file.

    Anima PuraMany thanks for "spotting" them around the networks, I also didn't think of purposely jumping into the abyss to make my exit easier, great idea!

    iBeatStuffUpAre the breach achievements as difficult to get as their ratios suggest?

    AllgorhythmAbsolutely not. I recommend starting Breach mode as soon as possible. Working towards the Data Detective achievement is a great way to start. Here's a complete guide: Solution for Data Detective In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

    You have a quick learning curve. You'll pick up the fundamentals I no time.
