How to unlock the Emergency Boarding Procedures achievement in Halo 5: Guardians - Definitive Guide
Difficulty: Easy (Co-op Recommended)
Towards the end of the mission, you'll get into a Phaeton, board the Kraken and destroy its power core. Once you destory the power core, it will be in the "doomed" state, and you should have about a minute to grab this achievement. If in co-op have one of your teammates land their Phaeton on the top of the Kraken, and just jump on top. Slowly have the teammate lift off the ground and the achievement will unlock. Reload the last checkpoint if you want to trade places or if you fail. If doing this solo, it can be a little more complicated to get the AI to do what you want, but you'll need to run to the surface of the Kraken, order them into the Phaeton and jump on top as they get in and try to take of. If you are killed as they take off and were on top as it began to move, the achievement will unlock.
Complete this section and the rest of the level without destroying any Kraken Shade turrets to unlock:

Flew back down into the hangar, jumped out, blew the core.
Went back to the hangar, jumped on top of the Pantheon and ordered one of my teamates to fly the Pantheon.

Since these achievements aren't tied to any difficulty, it's best to attempt them on a second playthrough of the mission on the Easy difficulty level.
Towards the end of the mission, you will emerge from a ruined cave and be greeted by the Covenant's deadly Kraken. You'll have to use one of the Forerunner Phaetons on the platform ahead to reach the mechanized unit. With that said, jump into the Forerunner aircraft, pilot your way towards the Covenant vessel, and land the Phaeton on the Kraken's deck. Make sure you don't destroy any turrets on the Kraken during your descent and arrival!
Proceed with the objective and once the vessel's core has been destroyed, scramble back up to the deck where you left the Phaeton. Using the "command" feature, tell one of your fireteam members to pilot the Phaeton. Once they're in the cockpit, simply jump on top of the aircraft and the achievement will unlock! Now you can take the Phaeton from them and continue on with the mission. After the Constructer has been recovered and your team has been picked up via the Arbiter's dropship, "Kraken Lackin'" will unlock provided none of the Kraken's turrets were destroyed.
