PhD is one of the most difficult achievements in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. you know why? Because it is a collectible achievement and it requires you to collect 29 unique xp books which are scattered around the towns you will visit in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and you need to collect all these books in a single match. one of the problems you will face when trying to collect these unique xp books will be “how should you identify that the book you collected is a unique book?”
During the course of the game, you’ll come across various xp books, but the ones that count are the ones that reward you with a scholarly bonus of around 200 xp. this is important because you’ll probably have collected a lot more than 29 ordinary books by the time you realize they’re not giving out any school bonuses, which makes all this activity a bummer.
