What to know

  • This trophy unlocks when Mitchell and Anders both survive the experiment unharmed.

  • The cleanest route starts in Episode 2 by redirecting power away from the Landing Computer, then restoring Fire Control later in the same episode.

  • The most important late-game choices are to sedate Williams in Episode 5 and then choose Save Anders during Under Pressure.

  • A careful run matters, because missed stealth sections or failed action prompts can create extra problems around the same sequence.


The “This Steak’s Raw” trophy is one of the more choice-sensitive objectives in Directive 8020, but it is still very manageable once you know which scenes actually matter. The safest approach is to treat it like a short route with a few setup choices in Episode 2 and a decisive payoff in Episode 5.

How to get the This Steaks Raw trophy

Episode 2 choices

The trophy route becomes easiest when you build it from Episode 2 instead of trying to improvise later. You are aiming to protect Mitchell from the later fire situation while also keeping the experiment path open for Anders.

Step 1

In Episode 2 during Power Games, choose Deactivate Landing Computer.

This is the cleaner option for this trophy path because it lets you focus on restoring Fire Control afterward and lines up well with the later survival sequence.

Step 2

Later in Episode 2 during Pursuit, follow but avoid being seen by Simms.

Reach the console so you can reactivate Fire Control. This step matters because Mitchells later survival is tied to whether that system is available when the fire sequence happens.

Episode 5 choices

Step 3

In Episode 5 during Under Pressure, choose Save Anders.

If you restored Fire Control earlier, Mitchell can survive this same sequence as well, which is exactly what the trophy needs.

Step 4

Stay sharp through any action prompts and immediate follow-up danger. The trophy condition is that Mitchell and Anders survive the experiment unharmed, so this is not a scene where you want to be sloppy with inputs.

A clean replay plan if you missed it

If you missed this trophy on a first run, do not replay the whole game blindly. Start from the Episode 2 setup, make sure Fire Control gets restored, commit to the sedative branch in Episode 5, and then pick Save Anders during Under Pressure. That trims the retry down to the scenes that actually matter instead of turning the trophy into a full-story cleanup.
