Kill Belyash with a melee weapon

How to unlock the Chop Chop Chop achievement in Atomic Heart - Definitive Guide

You encounter Belyash during the mission "The Show Must go on" as you reach the Theatre. The Theatre entrance looks suspiciously like a boss arena and this is where Belyash will spawn.

To get the Chop Chop Chop achievement to pop pop pop you'll need to complete this boss fight with Melee weapons only. Using any form of elemental damage or firearm seems to void this achievement, so suggest using melee throughout.

Thankfully Belyash is a relatively easy boss fight. He has slow obvious melee attacks and lunges, the only thing that might catch you out is the ground pound similar to what Hedgie used. Just jump over the orange shockwaves to avoid damage. Once Belyash drops down to 50% health he'll start using a flamethrower attack that also sets the grass on fire. While he's spraying try to get behind him to land a few blows. I found charging a heavy attack and hitting him when he lunged worked well for me throughout the fight.

Once he goes down, you should get both achievements. If not, load a previous save to try again and hopefully it pops the second time around!

Today (25.02.2023 - patch 1.0.5) I got achievement.
I used Frostbite and Polymeric Jet abilities, but really it useless. It didn't cause any damage
I watched videos with a previous patch and now Belyash has much more health

Found a Belyash at the top of the Exhibition mission. Killed it with melee and got nothing. Is this bugged or is the achievment location-specific?

For this achievement if you have a fully upgraded Zvezdochka, importantly the second blade and Reverse Shot upgrades you can basically just hold down LT the whole time and annihilate the boss. Have an energy recharge item for when your energy runs out and then go back to holding LT until dead. Whole fight takes about 30 seconds and you get the achievement.

Using the ranged attack from the Zvezdochka melee weapons alt attack works with this, makes the fight extremely easy even on Armageddon difficulty (used a fully upgraded one with the lower blade which gives two blades to the ranged alt attack... frankly a must for making the Armageddon difficulty run much easier).

The zvezdochka fully upgraded definitely makes this fight so easy even on armageddon although it did take me a while to realise actually holding LT down makes all the difference with a full green bar

I killed it with regular weapon, then saw there was an achievement so load a previous save and killed it again but only with Zvezdochka this time and it didn't unlock. Damn buggy game.

Tried 6 or 7 times. Couple times on console, few times on cloud gaming, ultimately popped it on pc with play anywhere doing exactly what I'd been doing every other time with the same weapon. Still very buggy.

I’ve killed him 5 times using only Zvezdochka. 3 on console, 2 via cloud gaming. Won’t pop for me. Advice welcome.

*UPDATE* 06/05/23: I turned on my Series X and gave it one more go. Popped straight away. Sixth time the charm?

@tfreak10108. Just keep trying. I used Zvezdochka one time on console it didn't unlock. I used Pashtet one time on console it didn't unlock. First time using Pashtet on cloud it worked. Not sure if it helps, but I did have guns in my inventory and also didnt use any Polymer abilities either. Also possibly looting the corpse is what triggers the achievement, ot just killing, but can't 100% confirm that is just what it seemed like for me.

Right, so I finally got this unlocked after attempting many different methods. Tried every melee weapon, tried on the cloud on Xbox, tried on the cloud on PC, and tried removing all my character upgrades. Still wouldn't unlock. However, I reinstalled the game, and loaded a save slot from before the Belyash fight from the main menu, rather than loading a save from in-game. Beat Belyash again with melee strikes, and it FINALLY unlocked.

I don't know if this was just a weird coincidence and it unlocked after many attempts but if you're giving up maybe try what I did. This legit must've been my 10th time beating him, so I get the frustration, just seems stupidly bugged

Same story as you guys over here, I had to kill him 3 times with my starting melee weapon (whatever it was called) before it popped. I made sure my inventory was cleared out with nothing but heals and my melee weapon before I fought him each time. Also loaded up the save from the main menu like JJR0906 did, although I personally didn't have to reinstall the game.

Side note, the achievement didn't pop until I looted the body. Not sure if that mattered but try that first before restarting if it doesn't pop up right away.

I'm having the same issue. It won't unlock. I'm playing on PC. Beat him twice on PC and once on cloud on PC. It has not unlocked. I tried again on XSX and still did not unlock. I tried again on cloud gaming on the XSX and then it finally unlocked....what a buggy mess.

I am playing on the most recent update (the one that needed a patch to fix falling through the grass) and I have beaten him 5 times and nothing. I am using saw dance.

Edit: This popped the next day while I was making my way through the Theater.

Thx to UsualUmbrella44. Defeat Belyash with melee weapon only, no achievement. Restart, loot him, loot the first room of the mission. Then go back to fight place and achievement pop. Had all my upgrades and only a melee weapon in inventory

Bugged for me :( killed with pretty much every melee weapon with no canisters attached. Pushed forward completed the theatre and its not a delayed unlock. My save just prior to this fight, is my last save now. So, don’t know if to say sod it and carry on or wait and see if they do eventually fix it.

Edit: after posting this I though I’d try the last possible option. I loaded it up on xcloud and it popped first try! Give xcloud a go if you are still struggling to unlock this!

Very frustrating achievement I was trying to get this 2 hours until it poped (beat him with just melee is easy part). It finally poped after I beat him without upgrades on character and without any other weapons in inventory (probably you can skip this step but it worked for me) then restart game loot him loot starting area with collectable in next mission (maybe I did this before restarting game not sure) go back to refrigerator next to boss fight and it poped during I was upgrading my character and moved weapons I put in storage back in inventory.

They really need to word their achievement hints better. Kill Beylesh boss using only a melee weapon. That would be less confusing, made me think the first time I just had to get the final hit with a melee weapon, and there are other Beylesh you can encounter so without the boss added you could assume any Beylesh could give you this achievement. It's Kingdom come deliverence stay awake for 3 days all over again

When you get to the theater in the mission "Show Must Go On" (in the same surveillance area as testing ground 11, circular island across a bridge, has a tall 4 columned arch with a sphere beneath it). you will have to fight Belyash to progress.

If you done all of the Testing Grounds needed, some Farming and have the "ZVEZDOCHKA" fully upgraded With the following:

1) Extra Saw 4 (located at polygon 8)
2) Saw Dance 4 (located at polygon 1)
3) Ergonomic Handle 4 (might start with it?)

also upgraded "Energy Management" up to max.

with a maxed Character, maxed Energy Management, maxed ZVEZDOCHKA, on "Peaceful Atom" difficulty, i killed it in less than a minute with "SAW DANCE" using a little more than 4 bars of energy in one go.

TLDR: SAW DANCE WORKS

FYI: the Ergonomic Handle is located at the beginning of Polygon 1. I just remember it being raised on a shelf or suspended on a pallet in one of the first rooms I entered on the left side, I believe. I hope this helps.

Belyash is the second main boss in the game and you face him before entering the theater area. Like the strike achievement, we must defeat him only with a melee weapon, in my case I used ZVEZDOCHKA but any works fine. It's an easy battle even playing on Hardcore, just use your charged attack to do more damage and learn its patterns to dodge it.
I leave you a video with the battle in the highest difficulty.

You need a large version of "Belyash", which will meet you in front of the theater entrance. Small versions that are found in the open world do not count.
In terms of killing tactics, everything is banally simple, pump up any melee weapon that is convenient for you to the maximum, for me it was an ax. And we stock up on first aid kits. Next, we jump around the map and cause damage while dodging attacks.

You will meet the white guy in the story towards the end of the game. In my opinion, the most convenient weapon to fight him is the Pate. Fast, does a lot of damage, + you can add a modification to ranged combat so that Sergei throws the blade forward. This way you can keep your distance while still dealing damage. This will give you a big advantage.

Cold + polymer throw + freezing cassette module and the boss stops in place. In this way he took away 80-90 percent of him, using a fully pumped up sprocket. Difficulty is maximum.
It also works quite well on other bosses encountered. I didn’t check the hedgehog, because at that time the cold had not yet been pumped, like the cassette players, but Natasha and the ivy fly off for their dear soul.

Before entering the theater we meet this boss. It's easy to do. I did it on Armageddon difficulty. I upgraded the star to the maximum and the super attack Reverse Shot, three volleys at the belyash with maximum energy and no belyash.

I played on hard, used upgraded MASS TELEKINESIS and PATE and a lot of first aid kits. They gave me the trophy. Telekinesis is good at stopping him when he wants to make some kind of attack. As far as I understand, any ability can be used. The main thing is not to use weapons.

I killed him quite easily with a paste with electrical cassettes, a shield and polymer. You fill it with foam and hit it with a knife and a cassette, and in case of danger, turn on the shield

After a loss, the loading begins right from the boss, so be prepared in advance and replenish your inventory with heals and adrenaline, it will help maintain HP and Dash. The boss has 2 phases, in the first it is not difficult to become cold, in the second he coughs up flames, but before that you can catch a bug when he changes position, if during the decisive blow you stand opposite the column, in the second phase he will rush to change position and his run may get stuck into the column, this will give 10 seconds of rapid blows, with the Star you can damage from a distance with saw throws.
