How to unlock the It's Super Effective! achievement in Escape Dead Island - Definitive Guide

I used the second dweller you fight for this achievement.

You will come to a part where you have to switch off the power at a console so you can cross a set of live wires. In the same part you will have to fight two spitters; one of which comes from out of a vent on near the ground.

Run a bit further down from this corridor to get to a large warehouse area where the dweller is (you may not see him depending on where he is at the time but you will probably hear him). Don't go down but instead fire off some shots into the ground to attract the dweller's attention and then run back to where you shut off the power to the live wires. Use the console to turn the power back on and the dweller should get stuck in the live wires.

Since the dweller has a lot of health it will take a bit of time for this to work so be patient.

On my first try at this I was standing right next to the wires to watch his health and when he was half dead he just ran through the wires and killed me in two seconds flat so for my second run I hid around the corner where the power console is and had no problem.

Good luck to you all and happy hunting.

If he came up the stairs but won't follow you down the hallway, turning on the power and firing some shots across the wires usually gets him to come running.

Just be sure that after you fire you move to the corner where the power console is like the solution says.

Worked like a charm.

Had I read the instructions the whole way through, I would not have gotten killed the same way as youlaugh.

You can also get this one done where you get the stealth kill achievement. Do the stealth kill and then go into the live wires to suicide. When you come back to life, go in and shoot a bullet at him and run back behind the electricity wires and around the corner. he`ll run into them and his power will be drained,takes a little while. Pop! Achievement done.

It worth mentioning that you can just hit the walls or railings with you melee weapon and that will alert the dweller without wasting ammo

It's also Super-Effective!

Just a suggestion, if you don't want to waste ammo you can always fry yourself and reload the game & then try to stealth kill the Dweller. ... Oh wait, there's 2 down there, never mind!

just a suggestion when doing the electrical wires every time i attempted it he would get out with a decent amount of health left so try and hit him a few times with your pistol before just running back or he'll get out and if you try and shoot again he'll run through the wires

The underground lab near Geopharm Labs is the only area that has Dwellers. I did this on the first Dweller you meet. You'll get a cutsceen introducing the Dweller and they can hear you even if they can't see you. When you approach the area you'll notice an electric current on the ground. I ran up to get the Dweller's attention, ran back behind the current and watched as he electrocuted himself. I popped off some pistol rounds to dwindle down his health. The first time I attempted this I didn't use any other weapons and he eventually broke free. They have plenty of health so I'd advise weakening him somehow just as long as the electric current is the what finally kills him.

There are other opportunities later in the level with electric current and explosive barrels that you can get this, but I recommend the first location to avoid other enemies.

After you meet two spitters and turn off the electricity, there will be 2 inhabitants and a siren in the room. We shoot at one and run back to turn on the electricity. Afterwards we shoot again and the inhabitant fry on the wires)
You can help him with shots, the main thing is not to kill him.
