How to unlock the Timing is Everything achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
Each ancestor usually spawns around 20%, 40%, and 60%.
It is fairly easy to survive the entire fight without killing any of the ancestors, use traps around the area to take care of any airborne cryptids while focusing on killing cryptids. you do not have to worry about the core it does not take damage. When it is fully charged all four players must hold X next to it to activate and your achievement will unlock if all three ancestors are alive before doing so.
Great tip, thanks!
Solution- The three ancestors will spawn at each other 3 mark off points where the Medusa is getting charged. In the video you can see our movement from back mid to left to center. WE move to make the ancestors out of line of sight so we are less affected by the nova bombs. (I die alot in the middle not doing my job splitting the aliens) We allow all three ancestors alive without trying to touch them as all possible, they do get a little damage from our turrets but not enough to kill the ancestors. Now it is all about survival until you are able to activate the Medusa. IF 3 ANCESTORS ARE ALIVE WHEN GOING TO THE MEDUSA AND ACTIVATING IT the rocket WILL kill all the ancestors will die instantly and POP Timing is Everything!

Thanks!
If you are going in this order of generators:
1,2 Right side up and down
3,4 Middle (garage)
5,6 Left side (Gas/Petrol station)
When you are in the garage doing the generators there, DO NOT KILL THE ANCESTOR AFTER THE GENERATOR HAS COMPLETED. If you do kill the ancestor after the generator has completed its powering up you will end up glitching the game and you will not be able to trigger the ending with Cross. The dialog will stop and the second ancestor will not spawn at the Gas/Petrol station and you will have wasted your time.
We have done this in three different sessions all experiencing the same problem. Just be careful. If the ancestor dies during the powering up that is fine, but if they are starting to leave you should not kill them.
This achievement can be annoying but not overly difficult. It requires you to kill the final three ancestors at the same time. The only way to do this is allow all three of them to spawn and then keep them all alive until the cortex is fully powered. Once it is fully powered, activate it and it will kill all three of them at once and end the level. Note: Not killing ancestors will take a longer time to charge the cortex. Obviously it is recommended that you do this on regular difficulty. The following video shows this being done. Full credit to its creator.
I strongly recommend doing this on regular difficulty. Once you get to the final area you will need to survive for 18-20 minutes, and it gets hectic. All three ancestors need to be kept alive through this process. Once the ending is ready to activate, all players must hit the button so all 3 ancestors can die together netting you this trophy.
Be sure to keep all the traps active at all times. There is also an easter egg you can activate to give you 3 minutes of Feral Instincts and Fast Hands.
