The Precinct – A Sharp Mind Achievement / Trophy Guide

Just after a morning briefing, The Precinct Watch Commander gives you an assignment to locate 20 stolen artifacts hidden around the city. These can be found from the moment you take control of your first shift. Here is our A Sharp Mind achievement guide to help you track down all 20 artifacts.

Want to see if The Precinct is right for you? Read our review here.


You will be guided to the first location and given a brief explanation of how it works. Notes located close to the artifact give you a hint at the combination. Most of them are easy enough, but some of them require you to have found certain plagues or send you off to count things.

Artifact #1
There is a waypoint to your first Artifact
You must locate the clue
Then enter the correct combination to unlock the case
Inside will be an Artifact. Happy hunting

Note: the Artifact inside isn’t a specific artifact, so if you find it in a different order, the contents will be different.

When you reach rank 16, there is an ability called Artifact Detector, which will give out an audible beep when you are close to an artifact.
