How to unlock the You Rang? achievement

    This achievement is part of the optional quest “Mixed Signals”. You should receive this quest after encountering the Nightmare 2 or 3 times (you can still get this achievement without using any Neuromods, you can also still get this achievement if you don’t kill a Nightmare and just hide from it). However, buying a couple Typhon Abilities will advance how early you can be given this quest.

    To guarantee receiving this quest, buy Typhon abilities when you acquire Neuromods, when you encounter your first Nightmare, make sure to kill it and then wait in that area for January to call you. (Also don't kill January!)

    You will receive a call to begin this quest, which requires you to retrieve an item to repair a satellite. The item is marked on the map, it is in the Machine Shop in Hardware Labs. You will see the item underneath a glass panel on the floor, to access it you need to go further into the room where you will find a small Panel fairly close to the window which you will need to repair to use. Once repaired you can open The Moon Door, which will allow you to grab the item.

    Following the quest you head out to the Talos I Exterior where you will need to approach the small satellite and place the item in a slot (due to low gravity it can be a little tricky, so make sure you’re looking directly at the hole the marker is pointing to and spam cn_X).

    Once you complete the quest you will have a new audiolog called "Satellite Signal: Attract Nightmare" (Data > Audio Logs), simply play it to summon a Nightmare and unlock your achievement. I recommend quicksaving before playing the audio to avoid having to deal with the Nightmare.

    VrmVrmFor me, I was only able to get the related questline to trigger once I had enough Typhon powers to be targeted by the turrets. Immediately upon getting my third Typhon power, a Nightmare was summoned and January came on to start the series of quests. Once I put the item in the satellite, I went back to the arboretum and triggered the summon at the base of the stairs and got an immediate cheevo pop.

    Gilbert PrimeI encountered at least 5 Nightmares without getting the mission. Then I installed my first 3 Typhon powers all at once and got it immediately after the Nightmare which spawned from that.

    I'm writing this guide primarily for people like myself who saved this achievement for their typhoon powers only play through and didn't want to buy any human powers to do this.

    You can actually use the mimic object ability to transform yourself into a small ball shape that can roll into a hole on the door.

    I personally used a material ball. If you have too many materials you can keep splitting them in your inventory until you have an amount of materials less than one.

    The hole is on the bottom left corner when you're facing the door from the console you would need to repair.

    I hope this helped anyone in a position like myself.

    aardvarkgodI up-voted this solution as it's the only one that mentions how to do this with a Typhon-only play-through.

    You Rang? Achievement?Trophy Guide

    While using and upgrading your Typhon skills you start having a creature called a "Nightmare" chase you around the map. After a few encounters with the Nightmare you will get a call from January who will give you a mission called "Mixed Signals" which will require you to head to the Hardware Labs and find a piece of equipment for a satellite in space. You will the item you need under a locked glass panel which will require you to fix the controls with the REPAIR III skill.

    Once fixed activate it and grab the part. Now head out into space and you'll have to attach the part to the satellite. When done you can head inside again, open your transcribe and go to DATA then select AUDIO LOG then you'll see two options, summon the nightmare or send it away. Summon it and this will unlock.
