How to unlock the Storm Shattered achievement in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Definitive Guide

You will find Storm Shadow in a secret zone (blue doors requiring specialist access) on the following levels:

Artic: Deckhouse Six
Desert: Robot
Jungle: Sludge

Very easy fight, simply roll-out and keep your distance and fire away. He will dissapear periodically, so re-orient your weapon when he appears.

Glitch: if you beat him and fail the level you will not be able to acquire him, so it is recommended to complete these levels on casual. Once you've got him (purchase for 15 bp) proceed on with the game.

Thanks to Italianstallion ala x360a for the glitch update.

Came here after trying Desert: Robot on Hardcore and failing the level after beating Storm Shadow. Just wanted to add that quitting to the dashboard and then reloading the game worked to reset the door. I was worried I was going to have to start a second save file just for this one achievement.

Desert: Robot

The Storm Shadow arena is behind a HEAVY door at the end of the first checkpoint.

Jungle: Sludge

At the end of the first checkpoint, you’ll be in a room where you must drain two green cylinders. Once you clear this, two doors will open. On your right is a COMMANDO door leading to the Storm Shadow arena.

Okay so this trophy can be difficult. You must be very careful because there is a glitch. There are three places you must fight and defeat Storm Shadow in order for him to be unlocked for purchase. He is not tough to beat just keep your distance. The three missions you must find him in are:

Arctic Arsenal - DECKHOUSE SIX
You have to fight him to complete this level. You will fight him at the end of the level. You will unlock a file card for defeating him so if you have all the file cards on the first level then you have defeated him in the first location.

Desert Jewel - ROBOT
After being locked in a room and defeating the waves of enemies, activate the door on the left side. Requires Heavy.

Jungle Fuel - SLUDGE
After draining the two bio tanks, activate the door on the right side of the room. Requires Combat Soldier. This should be the final place that you fight him and you will unlock him for purchase UPON COMPLETION of this level. See Glitch.

GLITCH Warning:
Alright guys look out because this trophy causes a glitch. Here's how it works. If you are playing on Advanced or Hardcore Difficulty you will have to restart the mission should both characters die. On Casual Difficulty you are automatically revived on the spot. On Advanced Difficulty you can only revive characters at checkpoints. On Hardcore difficulty you cannot revive characters. If both characters die you have to restart the level. You will not be able to continue at a checkpoint. You will also have to RE-COLLECT any file cards, intel, or contacts you collected on this mission. Collected items are only SECURED upon completion of the level. If you defeat Storm Shadow in one of the fights but fail to complete the mission and he will NOT re-appear when you go back through the level. When you defeat him the third time, you will still unlock Storm Shattered trophy but he will never be unlocked as a contact, thus remaining unavailable for purchase.

This will cause you to be UNABLE to unlock Battle Master, COBRAAA!, Arishkage Attack, or Lost and Found trophies without starting a new game. You DO NOT want this to happen.

The simple solution is to do at least these three levels on Casual. Only fight Storm Shadow on Casual Difficulty. As far as I know it is completely impossible for both characters to die on Casual Difficulty. I got VERY VERY lucky that I did not get affected by this glitch.
