How to unlock the Manticore achievement in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon - Definitive Guide

kill 10 mantis robot things in any game mode.to kill them you must just shoot them they have no weak spot that im aware of so i recomend using the battle with the machine gun Hotfoot 1 or 2.the best mission to farm these is in mission 3-3 where you fight 3 at once.

if you have some way to improve the solution please post a comment

You'll encounter the first Mantis in Chapter 2, Mission 2: Predation.

The mantis look like, well giant robot mantis. They have an area attack that will take quite a bit of your health, a charge attack where they charge towards you swiping at you with their arms and also a charged energy attack that they'll shoot towards you. It is best if you circle this enemy and continue shooting at it from a distance. Moving in a circle around it keeps you from getting hit with the energy attack and the charge attack and staying far enough away will keep you from taking damage from its area attack. The mantis do not have a weak spot like other Elite Bosses. You just need to simply shoot it wherever you can until it dies.

The Preying Mantis first appears in Chapter 2, Mission 3. You'll fight two here and another three in the following mission. You'll get this for defeating 10 of them during your Hard playthrough as there are only about 7 in all the missions. There is no "weak spot" for this enemy, so just use a rocket launcher on its body. A Tactical armor with a Plasma Turret is a huge help against these.
