For this trophy you must destroy one of the '2 hit' boss ships as it attempts to grab you with its tractor beam.

Select stage 1 and shoot all the boss ships in the top row once so they are purple. When they swoop down to grab you fire a shot the second your ship is about to be pulled in.

May take a few tries, good luck.

The Boss Galaga is the green enemy that takes two shots to kill. The first shot will turn it dark blue and the second shot will destroy it. They have two primary attacks. The first is a looping dive that's identical to the attacks of all the other enemies. The second is a direct dive with no looping that stops about two-thirds down the screen. At that point, the Boss Galaga will emit a tractor beam. If your ship is in the path of the beam, it will start spinning and get pulled toward the Boss Galaga. Until your ship actually reaches the Boss Galaga, you can still fire, but you cannot control your ship. To unlock this achievement, you need to shoot the Boss Galaga and destroy it while your ship is being pulled toward it, but before it's actually completely captured.

Since you can't actually control your ship, your best bet is to simply mash the fire button as fast as possible once your ship is in the tractor beam. Obviously this will be much simpler if the Boss Galaga has been shot once already because the odds of hitting it twice before your fighter is captured are quite low.

You need to wait for the enemy with the beam, you can’t kill him immediately as he approaches, you also can’t kill him when he releases the beam, they won’t give you a trophy. You need to stand under the enemy who will start firing a beam and when the beam is about to reach you, fire a burst, in the end it will spin you around, as if you had been taken prisoner, but the bullets will kill the enemy and you will be freed, and only then the trophy is yours, i.e. The chain of events is the beam-captivity-death of the enemy. There is no point in standing under the full beam - they won’t let you shoot and you will be captured.
