How to unlock the Hornet's Nest achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide
Continue down into the central area and you'll find another tank that will take a few extra shots. Once you initially fire on it, Tripod Necromorphs will begin to attack. If you have enough Stasis, you can really just slow them down and focus on finding those red canisters to blow up the tank.
After you've finally blown it up, continue up the elevator you have to go up and you'll get the achievement once you rendezvous with Ellie and Stross.
I stupidly fought every tripod inbetween hits.
Story Related. Unlocks in Chapter 9.
You’ll come to a section where you are supposed to throw Flammable Cylinders at Nitrogen TriChloride (NCL3) tanks. The first NCL3 tank won’t pose much of a problem, but when you go down to destroy the second one however, a Tripod will appear.
Freeze him, shoot off one of his limbs very quickly, and then run around grabbing Flammable Cylinders off the 2 spawn points on the walls and keep focusing only on the NCL3 tank. Killing the tripod will only make another one appear and waste your precious ammo, so severing one limb and limiting his movement is enough.
When you’re done, take the elevator at the far end and board the transport, unlocking this trophy in the process.
