How to unlock the Timing is Everything achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide

Easiest way to get this achievement is at the final fight three ancestors will spawn at certain times when charging the core. Your goal is to not kill any of the ancestors you want to charge the core fully and activate it having the core discharge kill everything that is left on the map.

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.

it should work ive done it a few times already and it worked for everyone i played with. Are you sure your keeping the last 3 ancestors alive and then activating the cortex having the ending blast kill everything that is alive? I haven't seen it glitch for anyone ive played with yet but it may since ive seen mass exodus glitch a few times and not unlock till completed a few times.

This Solution definitely does work, I have just done ths co-op with a friend. We didn't shoot any of the 3 ancestors at the end just dealt with all Enemies being spawned and ignored them. We then hit the Cortex.The blast kills Everything and the Achievement popped. Thanks for the Guide.

Looks like this achieve is a little glitchy. We had a group follow this method; 2 got it, 2 did not including myself. Up vote from me.

Update: this finally popped for me two days later. However the time stamp shows I earned it on the 8/7 ( when it should've popped) even though it popped on 8/9. I tried for the requirements a couple of times, but it didn't pop. Seems like you just have to wait and those locked At 100% pop.

it can glitch a bit ive done it a few times now and even once we had 4 ancestors at the end instead of three so it can be quite a bit glitchy.

@ Zeus: I've just earned it in a solo game, I've only damaged the first ancestor for the 5000 points with critical hits challenge, when I activated the cortex I've completed the mission and obtained the achievement.

Just a heads up, the Core DOES take damage, and the more it is damaged, the slower it will fill up.

I found a really easy way to do this. Once the front gate gets broken down you can run through it and hide outside the area. The Ancestors WILL NOT follow you out there so you just have to kill everything else. I'm going to post a video but skip to around 12:40 because that's when I first realized you could run out there. If that's the last gate to open just activate all the traps and kill things until it opens.

This achievement is pretty simple when you use the technique that is shown in the video below. The achievement is to kill all 3 ancestors within 10 seconds of the first one dying. There is a way where you can take all of the ancestors down to the last square of health and then mow them down, but that is more difficult than what I show here.

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!

Medusa doesn't always kill all of the ancestors. We did a run last night and one survived. My group thinks that one of them wasn't close enough.

You can also go out the gate towards the garage once all 3 ancestors are in the area where the medusa is. The ancestors can't go past the gate

In the video you can see from my view that near the end of the bar I stood near the middle near the medusa so the 3 ancestors would not travel to the gate where my other 3 players were keeping them relatively close, but in my experience they all 3 have automatically died when the the rocket exploded no matter how far they were, So if you think the problem is distance isolate or group near the medusa for them to be closest as possible

This is not a solution to this achievement, but a warning.

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.

Killing 3 Ancestors is not necessary. It is enough to destroy the jellyfish in the finale and EVERYONE will die, including their ancestors. Watch the video:
