How to unlock the Bolt From the Blue achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide

Here is my guide from my channel, Toslow Gaming. Load up the chapter, "Return to Heroes Plaza". Use a tear to pick up a sniper from the ammunition crate. Make you way to the Sky-Line (the one between Soldier's field and Heroes Hall). If you have it, Throttle Control Gear would be useful at this point. Slow down, and snipe off the heads of the enemies who are to your right. If you don't get five headshots, their are more policemen if you continue further into the Sky-Line. Make sure you put HD.

Easiest solution. Note: Thanks to Vitaminamy for uploading a video guide based on my solution here :)

Load up the chapter "Return to Hall of Heroes Plaza". When you spawn to the left is a tear that Elizabeth can open for a sniper rifle. Grab the sniper rifle if you don't have one and sprint past all the enemies (I was playing on Normal, obviously this may be more difficult if you're on a higher difficulty) and go past where you can pull in the Mosquito for a tear. There will be two crates moving on a skyline. Hop on the skyline going towards the crates and you will stop moving when you hit the crate. Mow down the six enemies with headshots. Restart checkpoint if you're still missing some or need to combine with "On the Fly", or open up the Mosquito to combine with "Strange Bedfellows".

Found this easiest with a sniper rifle.

When on a Sky-Line, hold backwards on the left analog stick to slow yourself down, then zoom in on an enemy by clicking down on the right analog stick, aim for the head, and take your shot.

Repeat four more times to unlock!

I did this during the last battle - in fact I did many of the achieves on the last battle. The guys just keep coming, so it's a playground of shooting.

For this achievement I got to the point in the game the first time you ride the Sky-line, right after defeating the massive group of enemies in the Gateway.

*This is the section where you find the third Infusion in the game, in the small alcove with two enemies*

Ride it to the end and it will come to a stop, blocked by crates, and a single enemy will be standing with his back turned to you. Simply shoot him in the back of the head with the pistol once or twice and reload the checkpoint which will start you right before you hopped onto the Skyline. So it can be repeated and the achievement can be unlocked in a matter of about a minute or two.

The easiest method to get this is to use the sniper rifle and pick a place where the sky-line is blocked by crates, this will allow you to line up the shot, without worrying about having to hold backwards to slow down.

I did this outside the heros hall where several guys just stood outside the door far enough away not to be returning fire but easy enough to snipe.

Tip: When sniping if the enemy doesn't have a health bar above him your bullet wont hit him. You might need to use the holding backwards method to get the right angle to take the shot but you can just keep switching tracks (with B) to get your perfect position.

I got this on the Factory chapter, in the area with the clock tower. There's a sniper rifle on the right before you go up the stairs, and there are plenty of bad guys there to pick off.

It wasn't tough to put on the brakes to hit them, or to change direction if I passed them. The areas they stand on are far enough apart to gather your bearings before taking a shot.

I didn't use the skyline gear to help, either - it was easy enough.

I got this at the point where you have to destroy the zeppelin ... Factory Courtyard is the section I believe.

As you start the section, pick up the sniper rifle. From there, kill whatever enemies need killing and dash down to the end of the section where you can hop aboard the skyline.

The skyline takes you up to the zeppelin and as you swing behind it, there is a automated rocket firer and two human enemies. Disabled the rocket firer and then you can, at your leisure, potshot the two enemies from a distance.

You can reverse your direction on the skyline at your leisure, going back and forth until you get a great shot down the sights with the sniper rifle. The enemies are so far away they do little to no damage to you.

Once you've taken out these two enemies, restart the chapter and kill them again. And then restart and go again. You'll get Bolt from the Blue, as well as tallying up some kills towards your required sniper rifle kill total, and the "kills while on a skyilne" achievement

Any area with highly populated enemies will do. Jump on a Sky-Line with your Skyhook and pretty much use throttle control (L analog stick) to come to a completely dead stop. Aim for the head of enemies and Pow. Headshot.

I personally found the second to last chapter (after you kill Comstock by the baptism pool) was the most populated enemy area to take advantage of. Endless gunships and zeppelins drop enemies by at least 5 man intervals. I also found that the Carbine was the best weapon to use. Unsure how much I had it upgraded at that point in the game but a one shot to the head registered as a kill. I managed to get this achievement in roughly 30 seconds on a wave of enemies.

Flawless.

All I did was on the end fight stayed on the sky-line and shot everybody. Didn't have any special gear to do it. Best place about doing this, is you don't exactly run out of enemies so if you don't get a headshot on one of the enemies there are plenty others to kill.

I got this on the Hanger Deck level, near the end of the game. When you start the level, there is a sniper rifle on the right of the first area, near the tear for the rocket automaton - clear out the deck, then pick it up before jumping on the first skyline.

Proceed onto the second deck via the skyline - there will be around six enemies that come into view one at a time, so you're not getting shot at by a bunch of enemies whilst trying to get your headshots in. Just slow down with the left thumbstick to almost a dead stop - you'll get plenty of warning that an enemy is about to come into view with the health bars popping up well in advance of them being able to hit you. If you can't headshot an enemy immediately, wait until the skyline takes you around the other side of the airship, and they'll be in full view.

Clearly this counts towards
BioShock InfiniteOn the FlyThe On the Fly achievement in BioShock Infinite worth 23 pointsIn the Main Campaign, kill 30 enemies while riding a Sky-Line.
but there's also a skyhook near the start of the level which is handy for
BioShock InfiniteAerial AssassinThe Aerial Assassin achievement in BioShock Infinite worth 7 pointsIn the Main Campaign, kill 20 enemies with a Sky-Line Strike.
when a couple of enemies turn up on the right near the sniper rifle.

Good luck!

This trophy is very similar to On The Fly, except that you must kill 5 enemies with headshots. The Sniper Rifle is the best weapon for this. Use the Sky-Line to get near to an enemy and hold to stop above him. Zoom in with the Sniper Rifle with and aim for the head. Sometimes enemies will jump up onto the Sky-Line and come over to you and stop to shoot you, making them even easier to shoot as they will be a closer, static target.

The trophy is very simple, it can be completed quickly if you have a sniper rifle at hand, just jump on the rails, press the left stick L back and just shoot in the head

On the very first line along which you have to pass along the way there will be 2 soldiers, hold down L2 with the first shot, knock down the helmet, put a headshot with the second, 2-3 restarts from the checkpoint and the trophy will be yours

Easily done in the final battle. By the way, all the unfinished weapon trophies were made in the last battle. Even if you die, the progress in the number of dead is saved, but if you exit the level, then the next time you enter, the progress in the number of killed will be according to the last autosave.
