A guide for all achievements in AI: The Somnium Files! I have completed all achievements and will be updating this fairly frequently. This is my first Steam guide so apologies for the formatting, I will fix it as I go!
Story Related Achivements
These achievements can be gained through somnium completion or just getting any of the endings. For them, just play normally through the story. Note that bad endings (the ones called Bad Ending in the game) do not give any achievements.

Documentation Duty Achievements
There’s 3 different achievements for this, and they’re related to getting the “B” photograph in the Somniums. There’s a B photo for every single somnium for a total of 26 and you will usually find them between the second to last and last mental lock (although its not always the case). The photograph is obtained by interacting with an AI looking eyeball which will have a sparkling effect around it.
You will also receive an extra photograph saying “Album Completed” once you get the other 26, bringing the grand total to 27. I will list the 3 achievements related to this and will update the guide with the locations as the rest of the sections are completed.
Dream Documentation Duty: Intern
Found 1 hidden item in Somnium.
Dream Documentation Duty: Manager
Found 6 hidden items in Somnium.
Dream Documentation Duty: CEO
Found all hidden items in Somnium.
There are 5 shooting events in the game, where you will have quick time events (QTE) that will either make you press a key, press a combination of keys, repeatedly tap a key or aim at a moving target and then press CTRL once the shot has been fully “loaded”. Time is slowed down as the QTE happens, but you will have no more than a few seconds to react. The achievements are obtained by not missing a single key press, as if you do you will be getting a bad ending anyways.
If you do miss a QTE, go to Menu (Tab), select Flowchart, zoom in to the current investigation, click on “Reopen Investigation” and select the very last item available. This will make you start the shooting event from the beginning.
There’s 5 achievements for this (I will probably update with event specifics once the barebone guide is done):
“The Secret Lives of Yakuza Wives”
Cleared the shooting event at the Kumakura office with no misses.
“The Congressman’s Secretary’s Warm Reception”
Cleared the shooting event at the Sejima residence with no misses.
“H***y Housewives In H***”
Cleared the shooting event at the Sagan residence with no misses.
“MUSCLES GALORE! Men’s Gymnastics Routines”
Cleared the shooting event at Golden Yokocho with no misses.
“The Erotic Legend of Atlantis”
Cleared the shooting event at the Warehouse District with no misses.
Interrogation Achievements
There will be 4 Interrogation sequences during the story. Note that this ONLY includes the interrogations where you can present evidence. If you and the subject are sitting there and you can talk to them like you would talk to any other character and there is no evidence to present, you will not get an achievement out of this. In order to get the achievements, you have to clear the interrogations with no errors.
If you do make a mistake, go to Menu (TAB), Flowchart, zoom in on the current investigation (or whichever interrogation you need for the achievement), click on reopen investigation and select the ABIS HQ, Interrogation Room. There might be more than one, remember to select the one where you can present evidence.
I will list the achievements, the investigation name where they’re available and the correct responses. To minimize spoilers (although if you’re reading this and haven’t finished the game, it’d be best to stop) I will only list the order and item that you have to present:

Analyst Achievements
There’s 3 of them and they’re basically completionist achievements.
Persons Analyst
Collected all the “Persons” files.
This one is easy and should occur naturally as you finish your playthrough. You will meet every single character. I would suggest interacting with every character fully (select all their conversation options and “look” at them, then hover over them and make sure they’re greyed out) as some conversations will explore topics that will help you fill up your Appendix.
Appendix Analyst
Collected 100 “Appendix” files.
You do not have to fully completed the Appendix, as there are 142 entries. After the rest of the guide is done, I will compile a list and where to get them of all items on the Appendix. As a general rule of thumb, interact with everything and everyone as much as the game allows you to do so. This involves repeatedly checking the same objects, or checking objects again if you go back to the same scenario (you will, multiple times) in a later stage of the game. Certain objects will start conversations with the characters on screen. I would suggest also going down certain “bad endings”, like trying to shoot Saito in the True Ending (you have to REPEATEDLY say you’re going to shoot him), as this will give you extra terms for the appendix.
Dream Album Analyst
Collected all the “Dream Album” files.
You will get this once you get the 27th item of the Album (which you get by getting all other 26). Refer to the Dream Documentation section above.
Miscellaneous Achievements

Boss Mania
Boss ManiaChecked absolutely everything in Boss’s office.
Location: I personally used the very first time you’re in Boss’s office, Day 2: Saturday saikAI, just after the tutorial dream “Psync”.
In Reopen Investigation, this will appear as “Abis HQ, Boss’s Office” (I used the top one).
For this achievement, you will have to interact with every single item of the warehouse also known as “Boss’s Office”. Her room is a hoarder’s dream and you might miss some items just because of the sheer amount of them.
I’d suggest interacting with the item again if you and Boss have a conversation about it, as this will grey the item out and might help you find any missing items. My list should cover all items starting from the far left of the room (as far left as you can pan) and ending at the far right. Note that the list and its order will only grant you the achievement when your camera is positioned looking at Boss sitting on her desk. Results may vary or achievement may be unobtainable from different camera angles, if in doubt, just go to the very first time you’re in Boss’s office and follow the list.
List of items to interact with:
1. Bags (the ones hanging on the walls, either side of the room will do)
