How to unlock the Don't Lose Your Head achievement in Deadlight - Definitive Guide

This is a fairly random event that happens every so often while attacking enemies with your axe. As you swing, sometimes you will perform a kill that cuts off the enemies head. this can be the first hit, or a following hit, but it always results in the enemy dying by a beheading. There are several enemies throughout the game that have their back to you, usually if you use your axe to kill them it will usually be with a single shot kill. This will unlock at some point, but as it's semi random it's hard to perform a 1 hit kill every time.

After you've obtained your Axe and Revolver. Just shoot a Shadow 3 times in the body, then hit him with the Axe.

FOV1863 Says - "Shooting the shadow in the leg until they hang their head over then hit them with the axe worked for me".

THANK YOU! I have gone through the game twice while trying for this stupid achievement & got it instantly with your solution. If I could give it multiple positive votes I would.

Finding this inaccurate. Three shots and an Axe didn't kill them, and when I finally succeeded with five shots and an Axe, no achievement.

After getting the axe in Act 1 Scene 4 (Outskirts) you will be able to obtain this. As you are fighting enemies during the game, you will likely get this by chance. Hitting an enemy during a swing (pressing ) that makes contact with it's head will result in a decapitation. This will gain you the achievement. Usually this is best done with groups of enemies and swinging randomly at them.

Hold down on a walking enemy , it may not work out the first time. I got it from the third.

The easiest way to do this is on a zombie who has tripped or fallen out of a window and fallen
