How to unlock the Battlemaster achievement in Mass Effect 2 - Definitive Guide

To gain this achievement you must complete Grunt's loyalty mission ("Grunt: Rite of Passage"). His mission involves returning to Tuchanka and facing a series of battles.

Like all the loyalty missions, Yeoman Chambers will eventually tell you that Grunt wishes to speak with you. At this point, head down and talk to him. After this conversation, head to Tuchanka and bring Grunt with you to speak to the current leader of Clan Udrnot (in my case, it was Wrex). The clan leader will direct you to speak to the clan Shaman about the rite of passage, do so, and he will set you off to the actual mission.

During the combat portion of the mission, you'll be forced to defend yourself against three waves of enemies.

The first wave is against Varren

The second is against the fire-breathing Klixen.

The final wave is against a Thresher Maw. You don't necessarily need to kill the Thresher Maw, but doing so will net you

If you really want to defeat the Thresher Maw, I would suggest bringing the M-920 Cain with you as it will pack a huge punch against it.

After surviving against the Thresher Maw, the final test is defeating Gatatog Uvenk and his krantt (krantt = group of Krogan). Do so, and the achievement is yours.

@tweekfu - I do not believe paragon/renegade is a factor... you just need to pass the test!

The M920 isn't necessary for the Thresher Maw. I did this at level ~24 on Insanity with Miranda in my group and as an Adept. Keep using Warp on the Maw. You might also be able to get it with Mordin and Incinerate since the Maw only has Armor.

(Missable) Talk to Grunt in between missions. He is on the lowest deck of the ship, in the port cargo hold. Loyalty missions will not be available until after the mission on Horizon is completed.

Grunt will show signs that there is something very wrong with him. He’ll want to head to Tuchanka in the Krogan DMZ. When you arrive, you’ll be told by the Clan Leader that Grunt has to complete a Rite of Passage. The Clan Leader will instruct you to speak with the Shaman to begin the Rite. The Rite is a series of waves of enemies. You will have to fight varren, klixen (giant bugs), and a thresher maw (see Big Game Hunter trophy_bronze.png  for details). After one round, push the keystone to begin the next. Pick up ammo and medi-gel between rounds if you need it.

After defeating the thresher maw, a group of krogans will attack you. Once they’re finished, you will return to the shaman and Grunt will become loyal.

After you complete the mission on Horizon, all the characters in your party will ask you to help you with their personal problem. Just talk to the desired character and take the quest; your secretary informs you of all desires to talk to you, so it’s very difficult to miss.

Talk to Grant to receive the quest from him. Go to Tuchanka and perform the rite of passage. At the end of the ceremony, a krogan from another clan will appear and ask to give Grant to him. Don't agree to the deal, otherwise Grant will leave the squad and you won't get the trophy!

In addition to this trophy, you can also earn the Big Game Player trophy.
