Complete the whole mini-game without the help of "Reveal" program, which reveals the whole board.

I Never Asked For This
Requirements: You have to complete the game on the highest difficulty level: I Never Asked For This.
Notes: This difficulty level is available once you finish the game (on any difficulty level). It is mainly characterized by the fact that in case of the protagonist's death, you have to start a new playthrough. You can save your progress, but the game allows for only one slot, and if case of Jensen's death, all saved progress will be erased. Don't choose this difficulty level until you know the game and its mechanics well enough to be able to finish it with a minimized risk of accidental death (not only through lost firefights, but also, for example, as a result of a fall from a great height or accidental setting off a trap.
Invisible War
Requirements: You need to stun an camouflaged enemy, without losing your own camouflage.
Notes: Begin with buying the Glass Shield Cloaking upgrade. Aside from that, buy Cloaked Takedown Support, which guarantees staying hidden even using a takedown on an enemy.

Jack of All Augments
Requirements: You have to buy at least one augmentation from each branch of Aug Tree.
Notes: This achievement can be completed only after you've progressed further into the game, because you have to acquire a large number of Praxis points (from advancing to higher levels, and by finding Praxis kits in the game world).

You also cannot kill Viktor Marchenko - the only boss in the game (this includes using the killswitch - ignore this gadget). Instead, you have to stun him, so he can be taken into custody alive.
Note #2 - Don't worry about the situation in the side quest "The Golden Ticket", when your actions can lead up to a battle that can result in the death of Drahomir and some of the police officers. The game doesn't count up these deaths as your kills. This includes the eventual death of Singh, if he is shot by the mercenaries in golden masks in the first main quest "Black Market Buy".
