Violent Mind Achievement
fter the opening sequence of Chapter 2, which introduces Detective Hara and ends with Mick’s escape from being apprehended, he winds up outside the offices of the Mawson Herald. Go inside and speak with the receptionist about Grace, the reporter.

Head back out of the Mawson Herald and look at the newspaper box near the door. Next, interact with the sleeping homeless person and take the coins from their hat.

Use the money on the newspaper box to learn where Mick’s mum’s funeral is taking place, unlocking your next location. Leave the area and head to the cemetery.

Once you reach the cemetery, head through the right-hand gate.

You’ll spot the caretaker blowing away leaves. Before approaching him, pick up the nearby brick.

Interact with the caretaker a couple of times until he throws down some change for Mick to pick up.

Equip the brick and use it on the caretaker. Mick contemplates it, but doesn’t follow through with his intrusive thoughts.

After this interaction, the Violent Mind achievement should pop.
