You must press LT?
Just hitting him with RT won´t do?

Can you get this reloading the checkpoint if you exceed the time limit or do you have to plod through the whole tedious level again?

Just after fight you cannot press pause (reload checkpoint) and cutscene start showing. If achievement not pop-up before cutscene, you have to go to xbox dashboard and play game, resume game. You will contunue from checkpoint just before fight.

Can anyone shed any light on if people are getting this first time through level, versus reloading checkpoint? When I reload checkpoint it starts me behind the loader, so I'm wondering if the extra 5-10 second to run to loader and get in is causing more time than if I did the level fresh and killed the boss when he pries his way through the doors.

Also, the loader controls like a stick in the mud and a glitchy stick at that, curses on this achievement!

Same problem as mentioned above. I start behind the loader and there are also spawning usual xenos! I can't even complete this moment, cause they kill me, not the Raven. Is this a glitch or was it changed by patch?

I also did this 20+ times and often barely got into the Loader without losing half my health. Deleted my cache and got it second time. To confirm, this does not affect your save games or challenge progress

I tried this a dozen of times and more with only hitting him, changed to below strategy and got it 3rd try:
1. If you restart from checkpoint you'll lose up to 7 sec just to go into the loader, so you need something to balance out these seconds. I started with the Pulse Rifle on the checkpoint, equipped the underslung firebomb and shot him 2-3 times, then got into the loader.
2. I only used RT to hit him.
3. It's best to push him into an edge, so he can't escape and run away. This is key to finish him off quickly!

Fyi...I went through the level in coop campaign private, intending to gave a friend join for the fight, missed it by a few seconds, and dash jump does NOT save your checkpoint in an online game. Needs to be single player (maybe local coop) to use the dash trick.

Yes, clear your cache! I tried this part probably 30 times without success,, getting killed by all the little xenos running around. As others have commented here, and as suggested by https://www.trueachievements.com/SLY+SCORPI0N.htm in his solution,,, clear your cache and decline the update when you load up the game. Your save isn't deleted or anything, and without the update all the other xenos leave you completely alone so you can focus on the raven. Got it first try after clearing my cache. No time stamp on the achievement, but that's a small price to pay.

After trying all of the other listed solutions all I did was repeatedly use the right trigger, the neck grabbing animations and final grab all were done after repeated beating, glitchy disappearing warping alien beating but no combo of right and left were needed and I did it solo on soldier difficulty. Vote whatever but it worked for me.

Worked for me too, one thing I will add though, before I got in the power loader, I threw all my fire bombs at it for extra damage. It appeared to help speed things up a little.

This method works, unless you're one of those people that really sucks at video games. So stop voting down just because you suck.

I got it done with about 2 seconds to spare (I used a stopwatch). However, I got hit once (as in, the Raven grabbed my loader and pushed me back a little bit, which this wastes precious time). I would guess that you can get this done fairly easily if you don't get hit once AND if you can get the Raven stuck in a corner even after you've grabbed her - this keeps her from sliding away from you (i.e. another f***ing glitch in the game).

It may take you several tries. I would suggest this:
- If you get hit by the Raven more than once, just restart the last checkpoint
- If the Raven slides too far away from you or you just simply miss hitting her more than 3 times just restart the last checkpoint
-If you get hit by the Raven just once AND you miss two or more swings at her, just restart the last checkpoint

In other words, try to be as perfect as you can. Yes, you're going to get hit by the lurkers on the ground once in a while, but as long you're playing this on Soldier, you'll rarely die because of the lurkers.

Mission 5 - The Raven

This solution requires at least two people. Have one person in the loader, following the soultions and video above. The other person or persons need to fire bomb and use the flame thrower on the Raven as the person on the loader is fighting her. The flame thrower and the fire bombs will weaken her considerably. I used this method twice with different groups and it worked on the first attempt both times. Frags and other weapons may work as well, but I can confirm that the flame thrower and fire bombs make this achievement much easier.

That worked perect for my friend and I. In fact I will wager to say that we did it for him in less than 45 seconds. Also you can add that it doesn't matter who is in the lifter, everyone will get the achievement.

With the new patch making this nearly impossible solo, I found a good way to do this co-op.

Before you run into the gate to start the fight, decide who is going to be on the ground and who is going to be in the loader. Person on the ground set your load-out so you have firebombs, and both primary/secondary weapons have either a firebomb/grenade launcher under barrel attachment.

Once the fight starts, one person gets into the loader and the other person throws 1-2 firebombs at raven as he comes through the gate. For the rest of the fight, right after the loader hits the raven and he goes sliding back, the player outside loader hits him with either a grenade/firebomb.

With this method, the fight only took like 2 hits with loader before each grab.

Just want everyone to know this achievement is still totally doable solo with the patch, no need for co-op or clearing caches or anything like that. There's a trick that will save you at least 30 seconds in the fight-before you get into the loader, hit the Raven with several explosives, any grenade launcher attachment works(you can also throw grenades, though I found that to be a bit too slow and that usually ended up with the Raven getting close enough to kill me) though I used a full clip from the SHARP rifle myself(its a DLC weapon you have to buy, though it's pretty cheap). Make sure you save enough grenades or ammo from your preferred weapon for the end and make sure you have your preferred weapon equipped before the last checkpoint, as you don't want to waste precious time in the menus(and make sure you grab the armor to your right the moment the door opens before the Raven enters the arena to save more time) once you've done that quickly get into the loader and immediately start hitting RT, if you did it right you should immediately go into the first grab animation(meaning the Raven has lost about a third of it's health) then just get into a good rhythm of hitting RT and keeping the Raven up against the wall, sometimes when being hit against the wall the Raven will freeze in place and not move much, keep hitting the Raven anyways as it'll still take damage even if it's frozen in place, just keep hitting RT(and maybe occasionally throw in an LT to keep the Raven from grabbing and attacking you) and knocking the Raven about up against a wall and eventually you should be able to get this. If the cutscene starts and the cheevo does not pop, just hit the guide button and bring up the menu and choose to go back to the dashboard before the cutscene ends, then when you reload the game it should restart back from the last checkpoint.

I found the best way to keep track of time is to use one of those small cooking timers, just set it to 1:10 and hit the start button the moment the checkpoint loads and if it beeps, you'll know it's time to restart. So do not despair and give up, I eventually got this after about 20 minutes or so, and i'm sure you can too.

I got the achievement on the 13/07/2014, this solution is accurate up to that date. This is what I did to get it to unlock. Remember, that doing it this way will not give you a time stamp on your achievement.

There is a lot of misinformation surrounding this achievement and with that comes a lot of confusion. If, like me, you bought this game as a digital download, you can still get this achievement with ease. Clear your system cache, boot up the game and decline the update. Now here is where I got stuck, the game resets to recruit difficulty and therefore if you got to the Raven boss fight and quit, then cleared your cache, and killed the Raven in the allotted time, it won't unlock because the difficulty will no longer be on soldier or higher.
This was the problem with mine, and it MAY be the problem for you.

In short, clear your cache, decline update, start the level from the beginning on soldier difficulty and you should get the achievement as long as you don't waste time during the boss fight.The achievement will unlock before the cut scene, as you get out of the heavy loader, if you don't get the achievement, dashboard and boot up the game again. It will have saved at the start of the fight, so all you need to do is fight the Raven again. If you think you have run out of time before killing it, you can restart checkpoint and try again.

I hope this helps those with a digital copy of the game get the achievement.

The Raven has been chasing you the entire mission (more or less) and at the end you finally get a stand up fight against it. Get inside the loader and use  and  to punch your way to victory. Be warned, the loader isn't very nimble making this fight a challenge to get in just over a minute. If you're struggling, pause and select "restart checkpoint" to try again. The video below shows how the successful fight should look.

GLITCHED

At the end of the fifth chapter, The Raven, you will have to defeat the menacing enemy that has been pursuing you throughout the entire level by using the Power Loader. It is highly recommended that you try for this trophy on Soldier difficulty (not Recruit) as the 1:10 time limit is rather strict.

You will need to use the Power Loader to damage the Raven whilst also fending off waves of regular Xenomorphs. Because of this, it's suggested that you have at least one other person with you to take the heat off of the player who's using the Power Loader. Unfortunately there's no in-game indicator showing the amount of time you have used, so it is highly recommended that you use a stopwatch and time it yourself. If you reach the limit, then restart the checkpoint. As of the 1.04 Patch, this trophy is is effectively impossible to unlock if playing alone due to the trophy difficulty being upped to excessive levels. Due to this problem, there are 2 recommended ways of getting the trophy:

Method 1: Co-Op

After some field testing, my co-op partner came up with a successful tactic for defeating the Raven within the allotted time. Full credit goes to Grenadier_12 for this tactic:

My trick was to "jab" using until the Raven was safely cornered, and then use "slash" () to weaken it. If you use the slash out in the open, the Raven tends to block, headbutt and run. Trapping her in the corner usually eliminates the "run" part and buys you some time. Make sure that you don't "panic slash" if the Raven jumps away, as your Power Loader will turn around thus losing precious time. Any co-op partner will have to hold off on shooting the Raven and only focus on the regular Xenomorphs. Any hit on the Power Loader, tends to do damage to it and make things more difficult.

Method 2: Play without the patch installed

This is the way that most people will go about obtaining this trophy and do it, go into the Game Data Utility and delete the file containing the patches (you can tell which one it is by highlighting the files and pressing . If you see v1.05 appear under "version", then you have the correct file). Once you have deleted the patch, disable your internet by unticking the "Allow Internet Connection" box in your PS3's Network Tab (Settings => Networking) then boot up the game and get your trophy. After getting the trophy, you can safely reinstall the patch and carry on with your day.

It’s better to do it in a co-op, and most importantly, your partners should also shoot at the Raven, preferably with grenade launchers and grenades. In this way, the three of us took it the first time.

In an online game, it is enough to hit the Crow 7 times, not 15 times as in the single game.
