How to unlock the Dead or Alive achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Definitive Guide

*SPOILERS*

You earn this achievement upon completing the last level. It will unlock after you slide down debris, shoot 2 enemies, and tackle Menendez. Whether you decide to kill, or capture Menendez, It will unlock immediately after you press the button.

*EDIT* Make a decision as soon as you can, since waiting can cause you to miss the achievement. Credit goes to Z3RO 37.

LOL I love how I didn't get this achievement my first time around 'cause I was too hesitant to make a decision. I am killing his a** next time and I will give this solution a thumbs up as soon as I see that it is accurate. XP

Same thing happened to me where I was too hesitant to make a choice and I ended up with no achievement at all. Btw sparing Menendez by pressing the button to or not doing anything and waiting for the game to take control will result in the same ending (where Menendez lives).

We all fell victim to this hesitation disease.

Since most people are hesitant to make a decision, a good thing to add to this solution would be to include which button prompt does what. I can't say it myself because I am currently working on my first playthrough but I thought it might be helpful to say pressing "X" kills or "A" captures or whatever the case. Nice soln just wanted to add my 2 cents

Agreed Rowdawg88.

X to kill. A to capture.

Shot his ass. No sense in wasting tax dollars keeping him alive for 20+ years!

Whist I hate Menendez, his words are "Martyr me for Cordis Die." I'm not gonna make him a martyr which is why i did not shoot. If I did, in the end he would have won

This trophy will unlock automatically by playing through the story. Check out Black Ops II Master for more details. Once you capture or kill Menendez in Mission 11 "Judgment Day", the trophy will unlock.

Mission: Judgement Day

You will have a choice to kill someone or capture them. Either one unlocks the achievement, but if you take too long to make a decision, you won't unlock it.


Note: If you take too long to decide whether to shoot him or capture him (you only have a couple of seconds), the game takes over and makes the choice for you. If this happens, you will not unlock the achievement. You yourself have to press  or .

This is a story achievement obtained after your final choice - to leave Menendez alive or kill him.

You can miss the achievement if you do not press "A" or "X". You will lose your achievements, but in return you get an interesting ending, where Menendez... I won’t spoil it, try it yourself!

If you don't press anything, the ending will be the same as if you spare him
