How to unlock the Sky High achievement in Mass Effect 3 - Definitive Guide
As long as the enemy's feet leave the ground, it'll count towards the achievement. Powers that will work are Singularity, Pull, Throw, Lift Grenade, Concussive Shot, Biotic Charge, Carnage* and Overload*. I've been told that Slam (DLC power) will not work even though the enemy is technically lifted into the air.
As with most other achievements in the game, you can continually reload your save to get the lifts using the same group of enemies. These will count across both single-player and multiplayer combined, so getting some in SP and some in MP is fine.
*Once they are maxed out.
Start a new playthrough as a Sentinel. Change the difficulty to Narrative. You'll begin the game with Throw (that recharges within a second). *I did import a Level 30 ME2 Shepard. I'll have to confirm on a brand spanking new Hero.*
Start the game and go through the opening scenes where everyone realises they should have trusted our famed hero. Nothing like massive reaper death in an afternoon to help you re-evaluate your trust, eh? Get to the part where you meet the dying idiots on the ground who tell you to get down before you're seen (the shouting at you wouldn't give your position anyway or anything, right?). The game will insist that you press A to take cover but give the game the finger like the ending did to you and stand upright. Away from cover. You're a rebel, enjoy it. Screw you game.
This is where you'll get the achievement in less than 10 minutes. As long as you don't go to cover, Cannibals will spawn endlessly (up to 3 at a time). Press RB to use Throw, kill the enemy with your pistol and move on to the next. You cannot use Throw multiple times on the same target or it won't count. As a rule of thumb, if you've hurt it, you've thrown that fat little bugger.
As you are on Narrative and there's unlimited ammo pick-Ups, you'll never die or run out of ammo. Just aim a little above each enemy to send the power over the railings.
If you haven't got 5000 kills yet, this is a fantastic place to do so, but that's your decision to make, not mine. No indoctrination techniques from this guy... You will worship me... Nope? Damn.
EDIT: DakotaThrice has an alternate character class; "Imported a Vanguard from a previous games and used Biotic Charge. The recharge isn't as quick but the method works just as well"

i did 3 already using the combat simulator and they counted.
so if yo are missing some of like me dident got the 10 headshort in the rest of the game you can get them there also.
yust put it on easy only you so your teammates dont get the kill and keep playing the level till you get the achievements you want
Not sure if it was a glitch, but it worked for me, so let's hope it works for you guys.
Lift is not actually a power itself. There are a few powers that make enemies fly off their feet. Examples would include Throw, Pull, Biotic Charge, Concussive Shot and Singularity. Despite lifting enemies in the air before dropping them, Slam does not.
Note: Even after dying, the ones you have obtained count. They count across all playthroughs as well as multiplayer (which you can play by yourself). Must be done by your Shep! Squad uses do not count.
You will need to be a Vanguard or an Adept for this trophy. Singularity, Pull, and Throw are the powers that you want to use. A Sentinal's Lift Grenade and a Soldier's Concussive Shot work as well. Surprisingly, Slam does not work. I used it quite a few times and not one use counted. Here’s the key part, YOU have to be the one with the ability and you have to use it. It will not count if you’re using the abilities of your squad mates.
As long as you have any of these powers, simply use them on 100 enemies. Any enemy that you lift off the ground in multiplayer counts towards your total. This can be done on any of the smaller enemies (not brutes, banshees, atlas mechs, and geth primes). There will be an abundance of these enemies, so you can get this fairly quickly.
As long as you have any of these powers, simply use them on 100 enemies.
If you are not on a biotic class, completing the Omega DLC will give you the Lash ability. You can select that as a bonus ability in the medical bay.
