How to unlock the Upping the Ante achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
The easiest way to do this is with 3 or 4 players on a custom game, with 'join in progress' allowed.
Play the map with zero relics equipped.
After releasing the chlorine gas, do not enter the boss zone.
Have the people needing the achievement disconnect, then reconnect after adding the 'stand your ground' relic. This relic does not effect the Kraken boss fight in the slightest, and it allows you to play the entire game without being hindered by the relic.
Rejoin the game, and defeat the boss for your achievement.
note - the host can't disconnect to use this method as it will end the game.
We did it in a 3 person group, with 2 disconnecting to get the relic.

To get this trophy, you need to finish the map with a relic equipped.
I found the best relic to use was “Do less damage,” but others may have different opinions. I would advise not using “Pistols only” as you can't get the Venom-X, and it is a lifesaver if you get overwhelmed!
