How to unlock the Pyromaniac achievement in Mass Effect Legendary Edition - Definitive Guide

Quickest way I know :
Start new game
Make an Engineer
Set difficulty to Narrative
Get to part with wounded soldier
Leave cover
**DO NOT RE-ENTER COVER**
Spam incinerate never ending wave of Cannibals coming from ship

This should take a few min to hit 100 kills.

This is absolutelly the best solution for those who have made character and companion decisions that prevent you from using fire-based powers. Thumbs up.

You can even do this earlier on the husks climbing the wall. Awesome solution!

Why doesn't it work using EDI? Like the rest of the achievements?

Probably just buggy as hell like a handful of other ones. Just glad it pops at all

If you have a class without access to Incinerate, Incendiary Ammo or Inferno Grenades and don't want to start a new game and let Ashley survive in ME1, didn't shoot her in the face in ME3 and recruit her you can get her Inferno Grenades as a bonus power once she's back on the Normandy. I've specced them for maximum radius and capacity as just setting enemies on fire counts, you don't have to kill them with it. I did most of the kills during Omega: Aria T'Loak - the mission is very large and you get tons of grenade resupplies and chances to use them on Cerberus troops there.

Got the achievement with a fresh Shepard, thanks! I guess Edi can't actually set enemies on fire even WITH Incinerate! HAH! (Joking)

Just a note that, like others, I had to do this with my OWN Incinerate, using the above method. I spent forever using Incendiary Ammo from James+Incinerate from EDI and made 0 progress. Only this method on a fresh Sheppard worked for me.

Just a few minutes. Couldn't have this with team members. I tried.

For those using a Soldier Shep, you can use Incendiary Ammo. Confirmed as of date of this post(8/25/22).

This achievement bugged on me on my play through when I was a engineer. I Had to play the infiltrator class in order to get this achievement. Stay at the first level where you are waiting for the Normandy to rescue you just keep burning enemies over and over. Reload when you see not the enemy waves coming at you. loading your ME2 save file will help increase your fire damage.

I can confirm the latest patch which intended to fix 'tracking achievements' has not affected this. I am still on 0/100.

Tried using both inferno grenade and carnage while playing as a sentinel, neither one of them tracked

I'll try the incendiary grenade, thanks for the heads up. Tried most other powers like the rest of you and they wouldn't track. Had a similar issue trying to lift people for the Sky High achievement. Only thing that would move the tracker along was Lift grenade.

Does the enemy have to be a specific type? I used the inferno grenade on the final rannoch mission and it didn’t track but it makes me think the enemies have to be organic for it to count

I don't think so. I was getting grenade kills on Geth in the combat simulator and that's when it popped.

Can confirm - not showing any achievement progress with either Incinerate or Carnage at the moment. Playing on Xbox.

Not tracking for me as a Sentinel. I am using Incendiary Ammo from James but it isn't counting. Also Incinerate from EDI is not counting.

Frustrating as this will be the one achievement I can't get.

this was the 2nd to last trophy I unlocked besides weapon level 10. as Sentinel with no fire ability I spammed Incinerate with EDI and it was not tracking the entire game. it wasn't until NG+ where I chose a different ability (chose Inferno Grenade coz it doesn't actually let you change class when you import) and it started counting. pretty easy with grenades, just keep throwing em at a mob of enemies, reload, repeat 20-25 times

I am playing as a Sentinel as well. None of my fire attacks would track for me, not even my teammates. Luckily, I had Ashley as a surviving member and after she became available for my team, I took her incen grenade skill as a bonus power aboard the Normandy and that worked for me.

If you're already mid-game with a character that does not have this ability and Ashley is alive, play until you've reached Priority: The Citadel II and recruit her.

You'll get Inferno Grenades which count towards this achievement, you just need to use the ability yourself. At this point you have so much of the game left that you'll easily get this, when you just lob a grenade at groups of low level shieldless enemies you encounter.

If you play a Soldier or Vanguard you can use the Incendiary Ammo and it counts towards this.

In order to complete this achievement you have to set 100 enemies on fire using only Shepard's powers. Companions' powers do not count towards this achievement.

Enemies can be set on fire by using next powers:
- Incinerate (Infiltrator, Engineer)
- Incendiary Ammo (Soldier, Vanguard)
- Inferno Grenade (Bonus ability from Ashley)
If you play any of the classes mentioned above, you'll naturally get this achievement during your playthrough by simply using Incinerate, Incendiary Ammo or Inferno on unshielded enemies.
If your Shepard is Adept or Sentinel and you don't want to bother with Inferno grenade or don't have Ashley in your team, you can do this:
1. Start a new game and choose an engineer
2. Get to the part where you have to repel the waves of cannibals near the gunship, waiting for Normandy to come for help (the very first mission with Anderson).
3. Don't waste too much ammo (cutscene with Normandy triggers when you're out of ammo) and just spam incinerate on cannibals until you're done.

This achievement will work with any fire-based power, including Incindiary Ammo or Inferno Grenades which should be the easiest. You can also use Incinerate as well.
