How to unlock the Rope-a-Dope achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide
This achievement can be obtained in any level of the "Clash In The Clouds" DLC. The video is from the first level called "The Ops Zeal".
I upgraded the Undertow vigor to have a longer range of use.The very fist wave is the best time to do this since the enemies are the weakest. make sure to clear the rest of the enemies and leave one so you can get set up in peace. I simply shot an enemy off a high platform onto a lower one but not low enough to kill. I then Held the vigor button to use undertow to pull the enemy back to me. Finally I shot the poor enemy one last time for the kill. You don't actually have to shoot the enemy off the edge of the map where they would fall to there doom if you didn't pull them back.
There are less heavy hitter enemies throughout the waves and there are more of those air carriages so you do not have the railing to deal with. Just make sure you have enough Salts to us undertow three times. Knock someone off the airship, grab them before they fall too far, then hit them again.
The trophy description for this trophy is quite confusing, as knocking an enemy off the city itself does not seem to work as you immediately get the "Freefall" bonus and you can't rescue them. Instead you must knock an enemy off a ledge by equipping Undertow and pressing , then hold to bring him back up to the ledge again. Once he has stood up, press again to knock him off.
The best place to earn this trophy is in the first Wave of OPS Zeal. There are a couple of soldiers on the ledge in the middle of the map that are very easy to use for this trophy. Just make sure the enemy has full health when you attempt it as you don't want your first Undertow blast to kill them.
