How to unlock the Close Encounter achievement in Dead Space 3 - Definitive Guide

Close Encounter (10G)
- Kill 10 alien Necromorphs

Pretty straightforward achievement. **SPOILER** Around chapter 17, you should begin to meet this large hulking monsters that are exactly what their name gives away: a necromorph-infected alien. They spurt out explosive mini-aliens (similar to the exploding baby necromorphs in Dead Space 2). Just kill ten of them and the achievement is yours!

I'm surprised to say most people who have beaten the game have missed this achievement.

probably because they just ran away from the bigs guys. Thats what i had to playing the game on hard. The last three chapters i had about a bar of health most of the time.

I missed the achievement on my first run because I played through on co-op and my teammate had a ridiculous gun, so he ended up killing all of them.

I know, I really hate secret achievements that have nothing to do with the story.

I quote wicked Jei, don't play co-op with someone who already beat the game cause they have a super gun and steal every kill

I've noticed playing co-op and not being host doesn't seem to track certain achievements. My stasis, limbs, head shots, and aliens kills weren't tracking, but weapon kills did track (explosive, acid, ripper).

Note: If you're grinding this one out since you were a coop buddy on the 1st playthrough, you'll have to go through all of Chapter 17 and some part of Chapter 18 to unlock this. Although I have no idea if you can manipulate checkpoints to earn it unfortunately :(

For this achievement, you'll need to kill 10 Necromorphs (which are those really big aliens you will start to encounter in chapter 16)

There's a really easy way to farm this without needing to play all this chapter again and again

All you need to do is:
- Load chapter 17
- Play until you encounter your first Necromorph (you will turn a corner to your left and it will be crawling out of the left wall)
- Kill it and SAVE AND QUIT (restarting the checkpoint won't do the trick)

Now just rinse and repeat until the achievement pops


*please consider letting me know what I can improve in my guide before down-voting ty*

You’ll earn this naturally as you progress through Chapters 16-19.

The creatures are quite tenacious, and they also give birth to exploding monsters (analogous to newborns with a red belly that explode when approached).

The best way, it seems to me, is an assault rifle, a shotgun with acid, a rapid-fire stabbing gun with a stasis module, firstly it slows them down, and secondly, there is a lot of damage to the head or to the legs (which are short, not long ) quickly disable them... as the story progresses, you will get a trophy in any case... It is better to play in co-op with a partner using a headset.

The best weapon against these creatures is a sniper rifle + stasis. And notice, bone plates open on their chest, there is something like a heart there. 3 shots from a vintar into this “heart” and he’s dead.

In my opinion, the best weapon against them is a power pistol + rocket launcher + stasis unit. Throw away with freezing and immediately a rocket launcher.

will appear in chapter 18

we just kill, not necessarily everyone (if you're tight on ammunition)

There will be about 20 of them, so it’s easy to complete.
