How to unlock the Stop Shooting Yourself achievement in Assault Android Cactus - Definitive Guide
In this phase, Medulla will be the stalk with an eye in the center hole of the level. Every so often, a laser will lower onto the level and charge up. It will fire for a few seconds and aim at you.
The goal here is not to have the laser turret deal all of the damage to Medulla. You only need it to get the killing blow. Therefore, your objective is to whittle down Medulla to the last little bit of health. That last sliver will be your target for the laser. I actually was downed when the laser took out the last of Medulla's health and still got the achievement.
Just as a note, I personally used Coral for beating this fight. When using her dodge (and really whichever character you decide to go for this with), make sure to dodge a second time immediately so you don't activate their Secondary weapon. In the case of Coral, the Plasma Field is dropped and will be able to deal additional damage to Medulla. I actually had a run for this achievement fail because the Field dealt the killing blow rather than the laser turret.
I personally found it best to stay in close and circle the center of the room to get the laser turret to shoot Medulla. Just remember to leave only a bit of health left. If you're having trouble, try observing closely how much damage the turret can deal in a single shot to further refine the amount you want to leave for it.

I recommend Cactus for this trophy. Fight Medulla normally up until the seventh phase: during this part, you should notice that every once in a while some turrets that shoot lasers will spawn. To get this trophy, Medulla’s seventh phase needs to be ended by a laser turret. Wear the boss’ vitality down to a tiny bit and stand where I do in the video, while waiting for a laser to hit you. If you were standing in the right place, while you are knocked down, the laser will damage Medulla and end the seventh phase, making the trophy pop immediately after. Please keep in mind that Medulla can also be damaged by the snakes that slam you if you are close to them and if they are the ones to end the seventh phase the trophy will not pop.
