The Interrogation is the 9th chapter in Detroit Become Human. This walkthrough will guide you through all the choices of The Interrogation level for 100% completion.
This chapter will only be available if you activated the “Found Deviant” node at the end of the chapter Partners.
Flowchart (100%):
Here’s a quick overview of the 100% complete flowchart for The Interrogation.
Checkpoint: Observation Room
Extract Confession:
Before you sit down to interrogate the deviant android:
- Review Photos: Interact with the case file on the table next to the suspect.
Sit down to begin:
- Analyze Android: Choose the ANALYZE option when you sit down, and scan the five clues. This will unlock the two sub-nodes automatically:
- Analyze Stress Level
- Analyze Wounds
- Select the INTERROGATE option when you sit down. The key is to push the android into a state of heightened stress, but not to a breaking point where he will be of no use to you.
- The android’s stress begins at 35% and is affected by every choice you make during the interrogation. The optimal range is between 50-70%
- FEAR: [Unlocked by ANALYZE] No effect.
- SHOW PHOTOS: [Unlocked by Review Photos] Stress +4%
- WOUNDS: [Unlocked by ANALYZE] Stress +4%
- NAME: No response. Stress -4%
- After two choices, you’ll get a different set of options:
- COMFORT: Stress -4%
- REASSURE: Stress -4%
- THREATEN: Stress +4%
- BLAME: Stress +4%
- Then Connor can press the subject further:
- SYMPATHIZE: Stress -4%
- THREATEN: Stress +4%
- TRUST: Stress -4%
- PROBE MEMORY: Stress +8%
- After two choices, or immediately after threatening to probe its memory, the android will ask if it is going to be destroyed:
- LIE: Stress -4%
- TRUTH: Stress +4%
- The android asks why Connor didn’t let it go:
- LIE: Stress -4%
- TRUTH: Stress +4%
Choose Approach:
- Choose approach: At this point, Connor is probably fairly close to getting the android to talk and must decide how to proceed. If your approach fails, you will be forced to choose another, or give up.
- PRESSURE IT: Stress +10% Connor slams down the file, and really lays into the android.
- PRESSURE: After this, Connor has the option of continuing to press the android, but be careful you don’t go too far. Each time he selects this option, the android will increase Stress +10%
- GIVE UP: Connor will abandon this approach, and you will have to choose another Stress -5%
- CONVINCE IT: Taking this approach will give you an opportunity to fine tune the android’s stress level. You will get three sets of options, each having its own affect on the android.
- First Set
- UNDERSTANDING: Stress -7%
- THREATEN: Stress +7%
- ORDER: Stress +7%
- Second Set
- SYMPATHIZE: Stress -7%
- INDIFFERENT: Stress +7%
- COMFORT: Stress -7%
- Third Set
- PROTECT: Stress -7%
- TERRIFY: Stress + 7%
- WARN: Stress + 7%
- First Set
- PROBE ITS MEMORY: Perform the QTE when prompted, and the interrogation is automatically successful. Stress +100% Software Instability ▲
- GIVE UP: If you fail at both pressure and convincing, you will automatically give up. Giving up will move you to the Leave Interrogation Room section below.
- PRESSURE IT: Stress +10% Connor slams down the file, and really lays into the android.
There is a node for using each of the approaches, with success, failure, or giving up an approach also unlocking additional nodes:
- Probe memory
- Probe Succeeds
- Carlos Flashback
- Express Regret: After performing the memory probe, approach the android and choose APOLOGETIC when prompted.
- Carlos Flashback
- Resist to probe
- Give up
- Probe Succeeds
- Convince
- Convincing Succeeds: Hank ▲
- Convincing fails
- Give up
- Pressure
- Maintain pressure: Hank ▲
- Pressure fails
- Give up
At the end of any approach, if the android’s stress level is above 50% the android will begin to talk. Additional questions will become available as you get answers:
- WRITING: [Unlocked by seeing the ‘I AM ALIVE’ writing on the wall in Partners]
- STATUETTE: [Unlocked by seeing the statuette in the shower in Partners]
- OFFERING: [Unlocked by asking about the STATUETTE]
- rA9: [Unlocked by seeing the obsessive writing in the shower in Partners]
- INSIST rA9: [Unlocked by asking about the OFFERING and rA9]
- ATTIC
- TRIGGER
When all conversation choices are exhausted:
- Android Confesses: Get up when prompted, and leave the interrogation room.
Leave Interrogation Room:
Depending on the android’s stress level at this point, one of several things may happen:
- Chris Intervenes: Chris will unlock the android’s cuffs and grab its arm, causing it to flinch. The android’s stress rises at this point but the amount can vary.
- Intervene: Though it seems that the android’s stress rises by 5% each time you INTERVENE, the amount remains the same so it doesn’t seem to matter. You will have to choose INTERVENE three times to save the android. Hank ▲
- Android Trusts Connor: [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT] As long as you kept the Android’s stress level within the 50-70% optimal range, and convinced the android rather than pressured it, the android should whisper something to you as he is led out of the room.
- Android was sent back to its cell [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT] Software Instability ▲
- Give Up: Choosing GIVE UP at any time will cause the android’s stress to rise to 100% and it will shoot itself in the head.
- Android Shot Itself: [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT] The android will only shoot itself if you didn’t push it too far during the interrogation.
- Android Shoots Connor
- Android Shot Connor and Itself: [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT] [Death: Connor] Software Instability ▼
- Intervene: Though it seems that the android’s stress rises by 5% each time you INTERVENE, the amount remains the same so it doesn’t seem to matter. You will have to choose INTERVENE three times to save the android. Hank ▲
- Android Starts Self-Destructing: If you have pushed the android too far, and its stress level has reached 100% it will begin slamming its head on the table.
- Intervene: The android shoots Connor in the head.
- Android Shot Connor and Itself: [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT] [Death: Connor] Software Instability ▼
- Do Nothing: Choose GIVE UP, and the android will kill itself.
- Android smashed his head [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT]
- Intervene: The android shoots Connor in the head.
All done! This concludes The Interrogation chapter.

hey guys! i need your help I’m trying to get all the nodes, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to unlock (Resist Probe) and (Express Regret) I did everything followed the guide up above and still have not gotten it. Could someone please help me out, and leave a step by step on how you did it? Thanks, it would be appreciated
Mahalo –
MajorTom says
For Resist Probe start probing and then don’t press any button and wait to fail.
For Express Regret start probing, use correct buttons, get confession, and before leaving the room turn around to the android and you should see an interaction on him
trophius says
“For Resist Probe start probing and then don’t press any button and wait to fail”
How much time do you need to wait for that?
shim says
Resist Probe:
Fail the probe QTE 3 times (just let go too early) and the probe will fail. Waiting and doing nothing won’t trigger the failure.
Enrico says
Hi,
how is it possible to “Express Regret” after the Carlos Flashback? Tried it a few times, never did get a chance for doing it.
Every tip is appreciated.
thanks
Blaine aka Futless1 says
I feel your pain, that’s what I need also.
Enrico says
Minutes after posting my question I did find the answer myself …. d’oh …
Like MajorTom said, you need probe the memory and succeed, after the confession just stand up and walk towards the android and there you get the chance doing it.
—
I really like your guides guys, but sometimes it would be highly appreciated to be more specific :-).
Keep up the great work
MajorTom says
How do i get this?
Chris Intervenes -> Give Up -> Android Shoots Connor
i tried about 20 times.
if i pressurize to get a confession the android always auto destructs (another path)
(i tried to get the pressure level very low at 11% before pressurize, but he destroys anyway)
if i convince to get a confession and don’t intervene the android only shoots himhelf.
(i tried to get the pressure level at 85% before convincing to get “push it too far during the interrogation”, but no success)
so, how does “push it too far during the interrogation” (see above) work?
MajorTom says
ok, another 10 tries later i got it:
get max stress: 63% before choosing approach
choose pressure: stress 73% + 2x pressure: stress 93%
give up
choose probe
start to press R2 and release immediately several times to fail probe
leave room
give up
Declan Ellis says
After successfully probing the droid, talk to him and chose the ‘cold’ option. When you intervened the the android will shoot Connor then himself. This is also needed for the ‘I’ll be back trophey’ 🙂
SofiDrake says
I’ve looked up many sites on how to achieve the “Android kills himself” ending. what is the exact approach I need for this? I’ve tried it a couple times now and I keep getting the ending where the android kills Connor and himself.
SofiDrake says
Okay! So I was just REALLY nice to the android and I always picked the nice options and told him the truth, then when the Convincing failed, I gave up, and he shot himself.
Alex says
Thank u so much now i get it the trick is be kind and tell the truth
Ashleigh says
Hey,
I can’t seem to be able to save Connor from being deactivated in this chapter.
I’ve saved the deviant in the interrogation.
I killed the Chloë to get information about Jericho
I left Simon on the roof.
But I keep on getting the same outcome. Is there something else I need to do? I really find the game boring and anticlimactic without Connor.
Kris says
I wholeheartedly agree. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed his character and how much he actually makes the game until he was gone. I hope they make an entire game revolving around him in the future.
Amber says
When choosing an approach ‘give up’ does not show up, even when the stress level was low
BLTrendafilov says
I’m also having this issue, I think it might need to be in the experienced difficulty? I dont know.
BLTrendafilov says
Just kidding, I got it when I failed to convince and pressure him. Connor gave up without even trying to prove his memory.
Tony T says
Android Shot Itself: [CROSS CHAPTER IMPACT] The android will only shoot itself if you didn’t push it too far during the interrogation.
^—- That is 100% NOT TRUE. I made every choice that brought the androids stress level down, didnt push AT ALL, gave up imediately after I chose an approach, and then got up to leave, let dipshit and the cop go to get the android and chose “Give Up” immediately and the android shot Conner then itself. It’s stress level was at 16% when I got up to leave…

What do I do to get him back to his cell .
