Assault Android Cactus

This isn't easy by any stretch. It takes a bit of luck and skill to pull this off.

When you defeat a phase of Embryo, it will launch up into the air and land somewhere else. If it pulls off this maneuver, you will not unlock the achievement during this phase. Here's what you need to do and have happen:

1) Defeat the current phase you're on
2) Hope that the powerup that drops is a blue freeze (It needs to be this to begin with. There won't be enough time for it to change colors before Embryo moves)
3) While frozen, kill the whole next phase. You'll need full use of your secondary weapon to have a chance at this.

In terms of which character, I actually used Liquorice. You unlock her after completing the game. Using her "Vorpal Blade" secondary ability gave me the power to just take it out before it relocated.

You will usually get one of the blue orbs as a drop during the fight. I had it frequently as my second orb drop (after Phase 3). It can randomly appear after defeating any of the phases however.

Flabyo mentioned doing this during the Infinity Drive as well. This would allow you to have your weapon fully powered for these maneuvers. I don't disagree with the assessment. Either works though so if you don't feel like working up to Layer 7, you could still do it during a normal run.

NOTE: Many people are mentioning using Cactus herself here instead of Liquorice. That's just what worked for me so I can't disagree with their claims. In general, a lot of character selection comes down to personal choice anyway.

EXTREMELY EASY WITH CACTUS AND CAN BE DONE THE FIRST TIME YOU GET TO EMBRYO.

The trick is swapping to the flamethrower right as the first phase is defeated, then grabbing the powerup. If it's not shutdown, restart. If it is, immediately unload and you'll defeat phase two before he jumps away, having saved enough time by not needing to swap weapons after the shutdown:

Hey everyone, just a video showing how to obtain this achievement. Shout out to Radical Sniper for the tip on using Liquorice for unlocking it. Hope the videos helps!

Embryo is the first boss of the game. Pick Cactus as her flamethrower is great for quick damage. At the end of each phase he will drop a pickup, you need the lock pickup to do this. Once locked use your flamethrower to quickly beat his next phase before he can move.

I couldn't manage this with Cactus or Liquorice - they just weren't unloading enough damage fast enough. Instead, I used Lemon.

1st phase - get right in front of Embryo and unload on him as you back up
2nd phase - just avoid the bullets and gun him down
3rd phase - use ONLY your main weapon to finish him off - this gives your secondary weapon time to power up to max (see the little gauge around your feet) - for Lemon, this means she will fire more missles - if the Shutdown drops, unload your missles right in his face and that should do it - if something else drops, you could try again at stage 5, but I just begin again
