How to unlock the Shock Therapy achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide

This can be easily completed in Chapters 3 & 4.

When you are attacked by the Pack in Chapter 3, dance around until you get them grouped, then shoot one with the Javelin Gun. Press RB, and it will emit electricity from the javelin shocking the others.

The other place is in Chapter 4, when you enter the Renunion Chapel through normal story progression. Wait for the Slasher to climb the rail, then hit him with the javelin. Immediately press RB, and you will shock the Swarm crawling all over the floor. This is where I got it.

If you vote negative, please explain why so I can adjust. Thanks.

Nice one. I'd been wondering where to get this, I'll be trying the railing method...I'm sure I've got a saved game just before there :)

If you keep missing opportunities for groups of monsters remember that it doesn't have to be done all at once. You just have to electrocute another necro after sticking one with a regular Javelin. So if there's a pair of necros that will count as one kill toward the cheev. Just do it a couple more times and it will pop.

Yup this worked quite effectively at first I had a hard time trying to get it so what I did is after making the female tripod runaway and the pack started to show up was to go upstairs and run down hallway I managed to do it there where they were all together this spot also works when trying to do the My Boom Stick Achievement.

The ONLY way your method for Chapter 4 will work is if you run in and stasis the tiny enemies after the drop from the ceiling, then when the Slasher climbs over the rail, shoot him and you can shock the frozen enemies.

Another simple one. Just hit the fat/pregnant necromorph with a javelin or two and as he goes down trigger the alt fire. the shock will wipe out all the little crawlers that are going to come out of him and trigger the achievement. First ones I found were in Chapter 6.

This method worked a treat, and is much easier to set up than some other solutions.

By chapter 6-7, the Pregnants first appear. Shoot a javelin spear on the belly (yellow part) of the pregnant. It's the fat one.

That will cause the pregnant to release it's payload (annoying Necromorphs). Quickly press the alt fire button, killing the 4-5 annoying enemies that spawn by damaging the belly.

The achievement will now be yours.

At the beginning of chapter 6 there is a fat guy that will start to spawn the little things that jump all over you. Right as he begins to spawn the little clingy things, shoot him and shock him, each of the little spawns counts as an "other". Good luck

Just like My Boom Stick trophy above, but first use the Javelin Gun’s Primary Gun and fire at an enemy in a group, then Alt-Fire to activate an electricity field from that Javelin to shock nearby enemies.

You should have purchased the Javelin Gun at the first store you came to in Chapter 2. After the Zero-G Trash Compactor sequence in Chapter 3, you will insert a power core into an outlet to restore power to an elevator. Take the elevator up to the Cassini Tower Apartments. Follow the hallway until you see a Slasher corpse on the ground inside one of the apartments. As you approach it, hit the Slasher with the primary fire of the Javelin Gun and then use its secondary fire to shock the Swarm surrounding it. This can be done almost anywhere there are large groups of enemies. The video below shows two of the many locations it can be done.

Watch the video with convenient places to get the trophy in the third and fourth chapters of the game.

in my opinion, it’s much easier to get closer to the end of chapter 5, after the tripod attacks you, a bunch of kids will appear, about 20 of them. and if it doesn’t work out (which is unlikely), then you can load the checkpoint and you will appear right before these kids attack ))

It is very easy to do on fat monsters when small creatures climb out of them.

I'm not sure if the trophy is glitchy, but I had to repeat this more than once on small sticky creatures to get the trophy. Presumably, it is necessary to hit just three, but no more.

There is a very simple way to get this trophy. In the game there are small parasites that stick to an adult necromorph and protect it. It is enough to wait until the unfortunate person is “stuck around”, launch a harpoon at him and turn on the alternative fire.
