This is done optionally during the Krogan's loyalty mission. After finishing 2 waves of enemies, you will need to fight a Thresher Maw.
To beat this part, you can either survive for 5 minutes or kill it. To unlock this achievement, you'll need to kill it.
I would recommend just playing on Casual difficulty and using whatever heavy weapon you have to blast it away. The Collecter Particle Beam melts it if you have it unlocked at this point in the game.

The Arc Projector gets no bonus against armour and is only strong against shields which the Tresher Maw doesn't have. On Normal I killed it in just over a minute with the Collector Particle Beam which melts armour.

Yeah, it's really up to you. Only said what i did because it finished off the Thresher Maw in under 30 seconds. Any heavy weapon on a low difficulty should make it a cakewalk

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (PC) - Achievement - Big Game Hunter
ME2: Thresher Maw defeated
*SPOILER ALERT*
This achievement is obtained during Grunts loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2. A prerequisite is that you have tried to recruit Warlord Okeer and instead found Grunts tank. You must have also have freed Grunt.
Essentially, he goes through Krogan puberty and you end up having to survive waves of enemies with the final enemy being a Thresher Maw. All you have to do is survive, but to get the achievement, you must kill the Thresher Maw. It is heavily armoured, so it's best to use incendiary attacks. This is also a good opportunity to use the 'Cain' heavy weapon which is basically a mini nuclear launcher. Using it in close quarters will kill you as well, but because you are outside with plenty of distance between you and the Thresher Maw, there isn't much risk of this and a 2 hits with it should kill it.

During Grunt's loyalty mission, you will face off with this giant monster. You will have a five minute timer to kill it before it disappears, so be sure to put everything you've got into it. If you're on Insanity difficulty, it can be quite a bullet sponge. However, it only has an armor bar, so using a Soldier with Inferno ammo makes it fairly easy. Bring Mordin for his Incinerate skill too. The Collector Paticle Beam weapon found on Horizon at the beginning of the game is great against it as well.
