You must play through the entirety of the game while never killing a single enemy, you’re free to do non-lethal Takedowns and use the Stun Gun however. You can also fail this if you hack a turret and target it to kill an enemy so be very careful not to do this (It may be best to avoid getting the augment altogether so you don’t accidently do this).

You may find it easier to achieve this Trophy/Achievement on your run through the “I Never Asked for This” difficulty as you’ll want to avoid any contact with enemies while running through it as quickly as possible. Alternatively, if you’re following the Walkthrough in this guide from beginning to end, you will also obtain Pacifist.

You need to go through the game without ever triggering a single alarm or causing a situation that will cause an alarm. Be sure to save your game on many save slots as you go through each area so that if you trip one, you can simply reload and try again. One thing to note is that during your time at the G.A.R.M facility during Mission 13, you will have the choice to call Alex or Miller, make sure you choose Alex or you will trip an alarm later on in the mission.

There are two ways in which you can tell if you’ve tripped an alarm, one being the “Smooth Operator” bonus for completing an objective without triggering an alarm (provided there are alarms in the first place). The other is the tutorial that will pop up about tripping alarms when you trigger one for the first time, if you never see this tutorial then you know you’re good. Finally, like above, if you’re following the Walkthrough in this guide form the beginning to end you will obtain the Trophy/Achievement.

An easy Trophy/Achievement and one in which you will have multiple opportunities to get. If you’re on a stealth playthrough (or following the Walkthrough) then you’ll naturally get this at some point. An easy one to get this on is Mission 3 when you’re on your way to meet up with Koller. Taking the door to the left of the main doors of the Time Machine bookstore (behind the dumpster) and traversing the vent to come out into the building, from there exit the room, activate the cloak and head left behind the enemy and into the door there. From here enter the vent and follow it all the way up into Koller’s office and obtain the Ghost status.

In order to obtain this Trophy/Achievement, you will need to read all 75 of the game’s eBooks. These do not carry over across playthroughs so you must collect all of them over the course of a single playthrough. Here is how many you can find in each area:
