How to unlock the The Nanny achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide

The crawlers are the babys with glowing orange flesh that could explode. They are similar to a Ticker from Gears of War 2. To get this achievement it's easier to use the Force Gun. It will knock them back and kill them without making them explode. So you can spam with it without worrying about making them explode, it will be impossible.

alternately, you can stomp on them too without detonating them. You must stomp on their heads, however in many rooms when faced with multiple foes, i would suggest an easier method. I would only suggest if your low on ammo, and would recommend using stasis.

Force Gun is definitely the way to go...one shot blows a whole roomful of them like a leafblower, and they all die without exploding. Too bad you don't get the force gun until after the first Crawler room on your first playthrough. If you're a better shot than I, you don't have to get this on New Game+. :)

Can you reload and keep killing the babies in that room or do you have to do another playthrough?

Killing Crawlers without detonating them is actually easier than I expected. Using the Plasma Cutter with the beam horizontal will merely kill them about 50-60% of the time.

I say this only to point out that if you don't have the Force Gun, it's not as difficult as you might think.

Shooting them in the head was what i did for the most part. However an even easier way is to grab some object using kinesis like a table, then tossing it at their head. I know...i know...harsh. It'll knock them dead without detonating them.

The crawlers are the babies, with the yellow infested hunches, that explode if you shoot them.

Here's a quick guide, that is simple. Use the Flamethrower. 'Nuff said.

I also wanted to add that killing the babies also helps you with the Necro Flambe achievement as well. So you are getting 2 birds with 1 stone.

The Flamethrower is a very underrated weapon, I even used it on my Zealot playthrough. If you full max out the damage you get a cool looking blue flame as well.

I'll just point out that you'll know when to pull out your Force Gun when you hear baby sounds and baby crying. They move so slow that it isn't a problem. Plus, the Force Gun in general is a weapon to fully upgrade and always carry. It will help you out when you are overwhelmed!

Simply use Kinesis and throw objects at them. The babies will not explode, and they will almost always die from the impact. Also, you can pick them up afterwards and use them as bombs!

Crawlers are the infant Necromorphs that first appear in Chapter 6.

To kill them without detonating them, you can use the Plasma Cutter and shoot off their head. This will kill them in one shot, though can be tricky since they will be crawling towards you, and if your aim isn't true, they will explode and possibly harm you.

Alternatively, to make this trophy trivial. You can use the Force Gun (found later). One shot will kill them, and they will NEVER pop (Unless you use it's alt fire. Don't.) Depending on how well you do, you will get this trophy your first playthrough. Or, you may need to obtain it in NG+.

Crawlers are infants with an exploding sac on their back, which you will encounter first in the Elementary School in Chapter 6, 9 and 13. It is possible to obtain this in one playthrough, but you will need to attempt this everytime you come across Crawlers. You need to aim to sever their heads or legs off, and the Plasma Cutter's ALT attack (in horizontal position) is ideal for this, as well as the Force Gun and Flamethrower.

You will first encounter these creepy, baby necromorphs upon entering the "school" portion of Chapter 6. You haven't encountered the force gun schematic yet, so you will have to be careful when approaching these as you will only encounter approximately 40-45 of these in one playthrough. Use stasis on the group of them and then just shoot at their head to kill them. Using the plasma cutter, you can aim toward the bottom of their head that is closest to the ground. It will sever them without exploding and makes it pretty hard to accidentally miss. If you happen to detonate one, most likely killing numerous Crawlers, I recommend that you restart your checkpoint. After Chapter 7, use the Force Gun on Crawlers as it doesn't cause them to explode.

This is also cumulative across multiple games.

You can deal with them without wasting ammunition, you just need to run up to them (that is, run up) and kick them once. The baby's head falls off and that's it

we buy a pulse pistol and when we see these little yellow-bellies we shoot at them without aiming. So their tummies won’t explode and there is a chance that you can get this prize in 1 playthrough.

Use stasis and shoot right in the head with a pulse rifle, the trophy will not take long to arrive.
