How to unlock the Epic Dismemberment achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide
*NOTE: This method works best on Casual difficulty since anything harder will require more hits to disable the Regenerator/Ubermorph and will probably come out of stasis before you can do so.*
Im doing this achievement at the moment (on casual) and i don't need to use stasis.
With rig/stasis fully upgraded, get a hunter 1 on 1 and just keep PUNCHING even as he is regenerating.
He might get 1 hit on you about every 5/6 regenerations. EASY!
Stomp on the dead bodies' connected Limbs of Necromorphs - even those that you have found already dead.
Nine Limbs per certain type of body can be dismembered - it means, that almost 278 certain Necromorphs in a human-alike shape, would have to be completely destroyed. The fact is that the number of Necromorphs you have to dismember Limbs from is greater than this value, since you will encounter Necromorphs that are in different shapes, and a lesser amount of body parts can only be dismembered on those others.
To completely dismember a Necromorph, create an explosive impact on target creature - you may love to use the Contact Beam, or Hacker Contact Beam as you will succeed most efficiently. Stand in the middle and hit RB by using this ultimate weapon of destruction - wipe out the enemy that has crowded you - no longer you will be overwhelmed by these creatures of death and insanity. Fight back Terror with power!
Additional Information: Dismembering human corpses is irrelevant in order to accumulate Achievement progression. However, Infectors would be unable to transform human corpses into Necromorphs if they have been dismembered appropriately. The amount of Necromorphs is identical regardless to Round and Difficulty Setting. This Achievement's progression can only be accumulated in Single Player. It is relative to Save Game record, and can be continued by playing New Game+.
The Detonator works extremely well for this and often takes off all of a necromorphs limbs and kills it in one shot, often along with that of anything else nearby, although black necromorphs are exception and can take two or three shots. Other guns that are decent are the Force Gun at point blank range, the timed mine alt fire for the Line Gun, and the alt fire on the Javelin Gun after you have spec'd into its explosive special at the end of the upgrade tree.
Also I would just say you don't need to do the last part it just helps. But since you need to do a few play through In order to get your guns and armor and everything else maxed this achievement will come with all the others and if you don't get it on your second play through you will very early on your 3rd.My total hours laying this game is 12 and 5 of those were playing multilayer And I have all the achievements.
If you have beaten Hard Core mode and have the foam finger, then grinding this will be incredibly easy. You can repeatedly shoot enemies after killing them to dismember them even more.
If you play through the whole game, on your second play through you'll probably have over 1000/2500 progress for the achievement, or somewhere around there.
Like many of the other achievements in the game you may check your progress by pressing and selecting achievements, and then scrolling down to the corresponding achievement.
In this game necromorphs have several limbs you can dismember. Some people have said it was 9 for the regular ones. That may actually be true. If you keep playing the game, you'll encounter many enemies. The achievement's progress will go up pretty fast. From my experience it isn't just the arms, legs and other main things that count. Once the counter reaches 2500/2500, you get this achievement.
The theme of this game is to dismember Necromorph's Limbs in order to score a kill. Most of the time you're going to have to target the arms for a confirmed kill. You can also stomp () on dead corpses of enemies to dismember them and it'll count towards this trophy. It is possible to obtain this in a single playthrough, but don't worry about it considering that you have to do two anyway. A Zealot playthrough from the start will net you around 1500-1800 dismemberments. You should get this automatically while going for your Hardcore playthrough.
Aim for the necromorphs’ limbs and shoot off as many limbs as it takes to kill them. Once they are dead and the area is clear, use to stomp off any remaining limbs left on the corpses. The head, arms and legs all count towards this. Stomping the limbs off necromorph corpses you find throughout the game will count towards this achievement as well, but the human corpses do not. It is possible to get this on your first playthrough, but unless you are taking your time to stomp off every limb rather than just stomping them a few times and moving on, you will more than likely get this on your New Game + playthrough.
PS I advise you not to bother with him.
We launch stasis into it, it is advisable to pump it up as much as possible. We act with arms and legs, the first blows are with the hand to knock you to the ground (aim at the hands), and then with boots, make sure that the head and legs fall off! If you don't tear your hands off, the creature will attack!
While he is regenerating, there is a lot of time to get up from his back; by the way, while he is getting up, there is no point in attacking. The stasis battery has run out - time to refuel! It took me about 30 minutes for 500 limbs!
Detonator, Line Gun - whatever! Just more ammo)
