How to unlock the Between a rock and a hard place achievement in Battlefield 3 - Definitive Guide

Just to make things clearer and no video required, I'll make a list of the buttons in the order they occur. They do not change and therefore are the same everytime!

LB
A
A
B
RT
B
A(REPEATEDLY)
*If you fail, you can reload the last checkpoint. -thanks to wes coas crippn for confirming this.

SPOILER MAYBE




The fight happens in 2 sections , but worked for me so +1 vote, thanks.

Just to make people aware, I got this achievement on my hard playthrough, and died a few times prior to reaching this part of the level. I know some of the achievements require a perfect run but this popped for me.

I don't want to mess with your solution, but it was not the same in my game. I was wondering what was happening when I saw a A at first instead of a LB. Even in the walktrought, the guide say the same, so I don't know...

to be clear, the first two buttons in this solution are not required. I just got the achievement after the checkpoint with the sequence: A, B, RT, B, A.

Thanks, this way it doesn't spoil what happens and you know what button is coming next, perfect for gamers like me who want to enjoy the suspense & action first hand without having watched it in a video first =)

Just to corroborate Captain Animal; I also played on hard, died several times during the mission thinking that I have to replay all this on easier difficulty. The final mission isn't even that hard and long, so you could play it without dying quite easily, I think, especially on lower difficulties. But as it is, all that is required is doing the quick-time events without a miss.

This occurs in the final mission of the game (The Great Destroyer) Solomon will fight you at the very end with a QTE fight. You need to complete the QTE fight perfectly, no mistakes, and you'll earn this trophy. It's not hard but if you want to know what to be prepared for, there's videos on youtube, they all contain spoilers of the fight.

If you miss a QTE, reports say that restarting from checkpoint will not work so you may have to replay the level if you miss this.

At the end of the mission "The Great Destroyer", you will get into a quicktime event with Solomon after flipping his car. You must simply hit all the button commands as they pop up (and not miss any), and this achievement will unlock at the end of the fight.
